In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explain why better results do not fix broken systems. More money, more motivation, or a strong month can feel like progress, but if the inputs are not being tracked, the same problems eventually come back. Kevin shares a real coaching conversation about income, spending, and the blind spots that keep people stuck financially. Alan adds what he has seen after years of coaching people who say they want freedom but resist the structure needed to build it.Together, they make the case that tracking is not about restriction. It is about honesty, ownership, and performance. The result is not the solution. The system is. Track the truth before it starts tracking you._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

You don't usually hear someone talk about peptide serums, CAC and customer lifetime value in the same breath. But that's a normal day for Alexa Raff, CMO of goop, the wellness and lifestyle brand co-founded and led by Gwyneth Paltrow.
Imagine you are in the circus, watching a tightrope walker who's been on the sauce.He sways, the crowd gasps, he sways again, more gasps, and yet somehow he doesn't fall. This goes on and on and eventually you get bored watching. That, it seems to me, is Britain.Public debt is now knocking on £3 trillion. (Remember you could have spent a million pounds every day since Jesus was born and still not have spent a trillion - that's how incomprehensible a sum a trillion is). Interest payments now run at over £110 billion a year - more than we spend on education. Debt-to-GDP hovers around 100%. Growth is wilted. Productivity is like blancmange. Taxes are everywhere and record-breaking. Waste and bloat and bureaucracy are rampant.But the political response to every problem is the same: spend more.Despite all of this, like our inebriated tight rope walker, sterling refuses to drop. The pound trades around $1.35. The gilt market continues to function. The bond vigilantes, whoever these mystical people are, appear to be away at lunch with Lord Lucan..Why?The answer begins with a simple but often overlooked fact that currencies are not valued absolutely, but relatively.You look at Britain's fiscal position and conclude the pound must fall, but against what?It's not like the US isn't running unthinkable deficits. Interest payments are exploding there too. The eurozone is if anything more trapped in low growth than we are. Japan's debt burden is legendary. Never mind the oil, Canada is a basket case. Australian regulation is doing its best to revive the traditions of the penal colony and China has its own economic and demographic headaches.All currencies are crapThen there are interest rates. Britain still offers relatively attractive yields. Ten-year gilts yield around 5%. That may be painful for the Chancellor, whatever her name is, but it is attractive to those looking for income. Japan, the US and most of Europe offer less. Higher interest rates support the pound. They attract computerised capital from around the world, which buys sterling to get the yield.London remains a financial centre, albeit it one in over-regulated decline. There is still some rule of law and some respect for property rights. The UK is not yet Zimbabwe, Turkey or Venezuela, even if it may feel that way. A country can be badly governed for a surprisingly long time before capital completely loses confidence.However, none of the underlying problems have actually been fixed, nor are they going to be fixed. We are still spending £48,000 per household through the state. You'll get greater productivity out of a plate of blancmange. Taxes are not coming down. We are locked in promise, spend, borrow, tax, repeat.Here's another possibility. The tightrope walker may never fall off. But with each step, the tightrope itself gets closer to the ground.The pound has lost over 40% of its purchasing power just since 2020. In 2007 a pound cost $2.10, so we are down a third against another unit which in itself is hopeless. Measured against the constant that is gold, the pound has fallen over 95% since the Gordon Brown sales of 1999.Here are those declines visualised.The framing is all wrong. The collapse is not sudden but ongoing. Maybe we don't get a dramatic crisis. No Black Wednesday, no run on the pound, no emergency press conference outside the Bank of England or wheelbarrows full of digital bank notes. Just more of this relentless decline. Every year a bit more debt, a bit more printing, a bit more inflation, another 7% loss of purchasing power, a bit more government spending, a bit more taxation, year after year, decade after decade. The tightrope gets lower and lower but nobody notices because we are all looking at the walker.Alf Ramsay was on £4,500 a year. Thomas Tuchel gets £5 million. That didn't happen over night. It was cumulative, incremental and compounded. The endgame remains debasementNot just in the UK but everywhere. In a democracy where politicians need votes they will ALWAYS choose inflation over austerity, spending over restraint and dilution over default. This is built in. The incentives are too powerful. They will sacrifice the currency to preserve the system.Nothing changes until the system itself changes.Perhaps the tightrope walker never falls. But the rope keeps inching lower and lower until one day it is running along the ground.The crowd applauds because there was no crash. Meanwhile the currency has lost another 98% of its value.That is where this is going, gradually but relentlessly. Not with a bang, but with a long, slow debasement.Sterling has been “collapsing” for decades, and it will “collapse' for many decades more, likewise dollars and euros and yen.The debasement of currency is not a new thing, though we have never seen it globally in the way it exists today. Gold has seen it happen many times before and it has survived every time. It will survive tsunamis, earthquakes and explosions. National currencies will not.Tell someone about this great postThanks for reading the Flying Frisby.Until next time,DominicIf you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver.

The role of the CMO is evolving. Increasingly, it is becoming a pathway to the CEO's office.Jim's guest this week, Melissa Grady Dias, first joined the show in 2020 as Global Chief Marketing Officer of Cadillac, where she helped transform one of America's most iconic brands into the leading luxury EV brand while navigating a global pandemic and unprecedented industry disruption.Now she has entered an entirely new chapter. Melissa recently became CEO of Measured Wellness, a healthcare company focused on preventative care, wearable technology, AI powered health insights, and what she calls "care between appointments." It is a model built around the 99 percent of health that happens outside the doctor's office. The company was founded in San Diego by Dr. Michael Kurisu, who specializes in Family and Integrative Medicine.Melissa is a leader who thrives when navigating transformation, and she simply likes building things. Those are her words. At Cadillac, that meant helping consumers rethink mobility, luxury, and electrification. At Measured Wellness, it means helping people rethink healthcare itself by moving from reactive care to proactive wellness, from occasional doctor visits to continuous engagement, and from treating illness to creating the conditions for long term health.Tune in for a conversation about leadership, reinvention, wellness, and the growing influence of marketers in shaping the future of business.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/OUVacbL2k7g For Matt and Sharon Kill, the goal was never to have the biggest fleet. But it took growing to 21 trucks — and nearly losing what mattered — to figure that out. The family started with nothing: one truck, a borrowed belt trailer, and a 1950s pay loader that lost steering every time you let off the throttle. After Matt got let go from John Deere, they accidentally built a four-way ag operation — trucking, manure spreading, farming, and feed commodity trading out of Saint Mary's, Ohio.

The all-too-brief stories of 5 ferrets.
Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:PyroGenesis Inc. (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY1)PyroGenesis has secured a binding agreement to acquire its Turcot Manufacturing Facility in Montreal for $3.1 million, well below the comparable market value of approximately $250 per square foot. The company prevailed in a legal dispute over its 2022 contractual option to purchase, locking in a key manufacturing location for the long term. PyroGenesis now plans to initiate sale-leaseback discussions that could quickly unlock significant value for shareholders.Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) (OTCQB: LODFF)Lode Gold has released a new Mineral Resource Estimate for its Fremont Gold Mine in California, defining 1.11 million ounces of gold in the Measured & Indicated category at 1.84 g/t Au. The update reflects a strategic pivot to bulk underground mining supported by over 38,000 samples, using a lower 1 g/t cut-off versus the prior 3 g/t threshold, driven by today's higher gold prices. A Preliminary Feasibility Study is expected to launch in Q2 2026.Aztec Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: AZT) (OTCQB: AZZTF)Aztec Minerals reported strong new drill results at its Tombstone property in Arizona, with Hole TR26-19 intersecting 66.9 metres averaging 1.05 gpt Au and 23.21 gpt Ag from near surface, including 27.4 metres at 2.31 gpt Au. Step-out drilling continues to expand the Contention oxide gold-silver zone to the west and at depth, with multiple holes ending in mineralization. The company has now completed 70 RC and 8 core holes in its 17,000-metre program, with 9 holes pending results.BIOREM Inc. (TSXV: BRM)BIOREEM delivered strong Q1 2026 results with revenue of $6.8 million, a 44% increase over Q1 2025, driven by 18 new project bookings from Canada, the United States, and the Middle East. The company's order backlog reached a record $77 million at March 31, 2026, while net earnings rose to $201,000 from $37,000 in the same period last year. With $10 million in cash and a diverse suite of air emissions control technologies, BIOREM is well positioned for continued growth.Bottom Line: Canadian small-cap markets are delivering across multiple sectors today, with PyroGenesis securing a high-value manufacturing asset below market price, Lode Gold reporting a transformational increase in gold resources at Fremont, Aztec Minerals continuing to expand a significant oxide gold-silver discovery at Tombstone, and BIOREM posting record financial results and backlog.
Some conversations stay with you forever, and this is one of them. Getting to talk with Amy Grant felt surreal. We talked about her powerful new album, The Me That Remains, her first album in 13 years, a project that beautifully weaves together the stories, seasons, and soul of a life fully lived. We went all the way back to the beginning… from being discovered and signed over the phone at just 16 years old, to building a beautiful life and love story with Vince Gill (who, as it turns out, measure their love in dogs ❤️). Amy was the very first artist I ever truly fell in love with. My sister and I absolutely wore out Heart in Motion, singing into our hairbrushes like we were on stage right beside her. To get to talk with someone whose music helped shape your childhood, and hear the stories behind the legend, was something I’ll never forget.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's take a closer look at STgenetics®' new laser-measured udder traits that are bringing even greater accuracy to the industry-leading Robotic Cow Index (RCI). Join Kevin Ziemba, Natalia Rodrigues, and Piush Khanal as they discuss these innovative new traits, their heritability, and how this selection can benefit not only robotic milking systems, but dairy operations as a whole. The conversation also dives into labor shortages, the growing need for more precise udder conformation data, and how technology is reshaping genetic selection on today's dairy farms.
John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joins me to review the news out May 6th, announcing the updated Mineral Resource estimate (“MRE”) on the Company's wholly owned Diablillos property in Argentina. We also discuss the news out April 27, 2026 which announced that AbraSilver has received approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) {“Declaración de Impacto Ambiental” or “DIA”} from the Government of Salta Province in Argentina. The updated MRE demonstrates significant growth across the Project, with Measured & Indicated (“M&I”) resources now totaling 232 million tonnes (“Mt”), containing approximately 248 million ounces (“Moz”) of silver and 2.54 Moz of gold (454 Moz silver-equivalent “AgEq”). The contained metal in M&I has increased by a substantial 25% for silver, 48% for gold and 30% for silver-equivalent since the prior mineral resource estimate (the “Prior MRE”) from July 2025. The updated MRE incorporates approximately 13,270 metres (“m”) of additional drilling completed since the Prior MRE, bringing the total drilling database at Diablillos to over 170,000 m. The estimate includes mineralization amenable to tank or heap leach processing routes and reflects continued growth across all five deposits at Diablillos - Oculto, JAC, Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra. We also discussed the upcoming catalysts of the updated, Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”), due out here in Q2, followed by a construction decision, and then a string of results to come from the ongoing Phase 6 Exploration Program for the balance of 2026. At Oculto East, the first drill holes of the Phase VI campaign have further demonstrated the scale and continuity of the overall mineralized system. Follow-up drilling is underway as part of an extensive program to expand and define gold-silver mineralization several hundred metres east of the open pit margin. There will also be the ongoing Phase 6 exploration program expanding the deposit size and resources for the balance of the year, mostly at Oculto East and Oculto NorthEast, but with some holes at JAC, Cerro Viejo, and now other follow-up targets at Condoryacu.

Enrique Ibarra, CIO and Head of Business Transformation at GNP, Mexico's largest insurance company, walks through an enterprise-scale pilot of autonomous software development involving roughly 1,000 internal and external developers. The episode examines how agentic AI changes developers' roles from creators to editors and orchestrators.In CXOTalk episode 918, Ibarra explains why AI co-pilots alone were insufficient to modernize a 20-year-old mainframe system, how GNP evaluated the Blitzy autonomous development platform across four real-world use cases, and how developer roles are shifting from creators to editors and orchestrators. The episode covers legacy modernization, enterprise AI adoption, change management, measurable results, and the two-year roadmap to retool the full engineering organization.YOU'LL DISCOVER✅ The CIO's phased human-in-the-loop playbook: target high-effort, low-risk friction points first (documentation, test suites, version upgrades)✅ Measured outcomes: 5 to 10X engineering velocity, near-100% autonomous completion on language upgrades, roughly 80% on frontend modernization✅ Why GNP's 20-year-old mainframe system forced a modernization decision tied to cost and the coming COBOL talent shortage✅ How the pilot was structured across four use cases: Java 8 to Java 21 migration, Angular frontend upgrade, new feature build, and security vulnerability remediation✅ Why autonomous platforms differ from co-pilots, and when to use each (Blitzy for heavy lifting, IDE-based co-pilots for the final 20%)✅ How to encode technical, security, and architectural guidelines as prompt inputs rather than post-hoc review✅ The change management approach that converted skeptical developers into active users within weeks✅ Strategic payoff: shipping new insurance products in weeks rather than months, and shifting IT from maintaining the business to dictating market paceTIMESTAMPS0:00 Introduction and headline results0:39 Why GNP needed to modernize a 20-year-old mainframe system1:15 From coding co-pilots to an autonomous platform2:36 Designing the four-use-case pilot4:26 Autonomous platforms versus vibe coding5:49 What autonomous development means in practice7:24 Encoding security and governance as prompt inputs8:24 Results: velocity, autonomy rates, and the final 20%10:16 How developer roles and daily work change11:19 Managing developer skepticism and change resistance12:25 Advice for CIOs: the phased human-in-the-loop playbook13:34 Strategic business benefits and first-to-market product launches14:58 Rolling out across seven teams and a two-year horizon16:34 Final advice for engineering leaders getting started
What if your "train wreck" 20s and 30s weren't failure at all — just everyone missing your ADHD diagnosis? The Impulsive Thinker® and Dr. Stephen Hinshaw destroy the old stereotypes on women, masking, and why success leaves so many suffering in silence. In This Episode: What decades-long studies of girls with ADHD actually reveal How masking, missed signs, and stigma sabotage real ADHD Entrepreneur strengths Why negative outcomes are high risk — but not destiny What You'll Take Away: ADHD in women is missed, not rare — the classic "boy" symptoms don't fit Depression, self-injury, and unplanned chaos spike when diagnosis and support come late Masking isn't resilience — it's losing yourself because fitting in means survival Early signs in girls are spacey, scattered, "lazy," not loud or disruptive Real friends and strategic support matter more than popularity or the perfect image GUEST BIO Dr. Stephen Hinshaw is a psychology professor at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco. He led the largest long-term study of girls with ADHD, rewriting what we know about women's ADHD and why it matters right now. www.hinshawlab.berkeley.edu Books by Dr. Hinshaw The Triple Bind: Saving Our Teenage Girls from Today's Pressures and Conflicting Expectations - https://www.amazon.ca/Triple-Bind-Pressures-Conflicting-Expectations/dp/0345504003 The ADHD Explosion: Myths, Medication, Money, and Today's Push for Performance - https://www.amazon.ca/ADHD-Explosion-Medication-Todays-Performance/dp/0199790558/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0 ABOUT THIS EPISODE The Impulsive Thinker® sits down with Dr. Stephen Hinshaw to break down the real ADHD experience for neurodivergent women and Entrepreneurs. Hear why most research ignored girls and what that cost in missed diagnoses, shame, and chaos. The episode digs into masking, self-injury, unplanned life consequences, and why classic ADHD stereotypes hurt more than help. Resilience, masking, and entrepreneurial strengths are redefined — no fluff, just blunt reality. This is for ADHD Entrepreneurs sick of society's measuring stick and shallow advice. If your chaos was survival, not failure — hit play. Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.
Legacy, Nobel Snubs, and the Fringes of Science Following the confirmation of the Big Bang theory, the cosmic microwave background was measured at approximately 2.73 degrees Kelvin, a discovery that George Gamow spent his final years advocating for as a validation of his 1940s work. Gamow, whose health declined due to heavy smoking and alcohol use before his death in 1968, frequently reminded the scientific community that his earlier calculations with Ralph Alpher had correctly predicted this radiation, using the metaphor that a lost and found penny is still the same penny. While the Big Bang gained universal acceptance, Fred Hoyle faced a professional crisis when the Nobel Prize for stellar nucleosynthesis was awarded solely to William Fowler, excluding Hoyle and his other collaborators, Margaretand Jeffrey Burbidge. This snub, which some speculate was due to a misunderstanding by nominator Hans Bethe or Hoyle's increasingly controversial reputation, led Hoyle to sever ties with Fowler and retreat to the Lake District. In his later years, Hoyle moved toward the fringes of science, championing the theory of "panspermia"—the idea that life and diseases such as AIDS and Legionnaire's disease originated in space and arrived on Earth via comets. He also drew the ire of the scientific establishment by arguing that Darwinian evolution was impossible due to the Earth's age, a stance that ironically gained him support from creationist groups despite his own atheism. Paul Halpern characterizes both Gamowand Hoyle as "seat of the pants" thinkers who relied on flashes of intuition rather than slow, methodical archival work, though Hoyle was notably more stubborn in defending his unconventional ideas. Ultimately, both men are remembered as brilliant storytellers who made the complex physics of the 20th century accessible to the public while fundamentally shaping our understanding of the universe.

Send us Fan MailDo you cough a lot? Does someone you know cough a lot? What if you could actually measure it, continuously? For people with chronic cough, those question matters. Because right now, most of what we know about cough comes from self-report. And that's not very precise.In this episode, Dr. Eeks speaks with Dr. Peter Small from Hyfe, a company using AI to continuously detect and count coughs, turning a common but poorly measured symptom into something objective. Hyfe is the FIRST company to create a tool to continuously monitor coughing. Their technology processes sound in real time and records cough events without storing audio, allowing for long-term, privacy-preserving monitoring.Hyfe is part of a growing field called acoustic epidemiology, which uses body sounds, like coughs, to better understand health and disease patterns.We talk about:what a cough actually is, and how you define and quantify ithow many people struggle with chronic coughwhat “continuous cough monitoring” looks like in real lifebad coughs vs good coughshow Hyfe measures coughwhy measuring cough is useful for people who want to monitor their health more closelyand whether cough monitoring and patterns could eventually be used for public health surveillanceWe also discuss cough suppression therapy (CST), a behavioral treatment often delivered by speech-language pathologists, which has been shown to significantly reduce symptoms in many patients with chronic cough. Hyfe plans to offer it as a digital therapy folks can access from home. Dr. Peter Small is the Chief Medical Officer of Hyfe, where he focuses on using acoustic AI to improve human health. An infectious disease specialist, he has spent his career developing global health solutions, with a particular focus on tuberculosis. His work has spanned Stanford University, the Gates Foundation—where he led major TB initiatives—and global programs in India, Madagascar, and Nepal, using technology to expand access to care.

ogle Cloud Next, Cloud Wars CEO and Founder Bob Evans sits down with Karthik Narain, Chief Product and Business Officer, Google Cloud, to discuss how AI is fundamentally changing enterprise expectations. Narain explains why customers no longer judge technology providers by licenses sold or cloud consumption, but by measurable business outcomes. From forward-deployed engineers to agentic workflows and the evolving role of product design, he outlines how Google Cloud is rethinking engagement, product development, and enterprise transformation in what he calls the third major wave of technology innovation. AI Demands Outcomes The Big Themes: Outcomes Replace Consumption Metrics: Narain explains that enterprises are no longer measuring technology providers by how many licenses they sell or how much cloud consumption occurs. Instead, success is now judged by outcomes delivered. Customers expect providers like Google Cloud to share equal responsibility for business results, not just provide tools and leave execution to the customer. This represents a major shift from prior eras where businesses viewed themselves as the sole owners of converting technology into value. AI's speed and sophistication have raised expectations dramatically. The Third Technology Wave: Narain frames today's AI era as the third major wave of enterprise technology over the past 60 years. The first wave from mainframes through ERP, focused on codifying business processes into repeatable systems. The second wave centered on delivery model innovation, moving software into SaaS and cloud environments. The third wave is fundamentally different because the technology itself learns and evolves. Rather than giving software fixed instructions, enterprises must feed it data, context, and reasoning. This changes how software is designed and deployed. Every Feature Must Become a Skill: Products must now be designed for both humans and AI agents. Narain explains that every feature inside enterprise software needs to be exposed as a “skill” that agents can activate directly. This means software can no longer assume a human user is the only operator. Agents must be able to trigger workflows, execute tasks, and coordinate processes independently. This changes how products are structured from the ground up. The Big Quote: “The application's user interface is no longer clicks and drop-downs. It is going to be prompts and agentic workflows."

In this episode of Lipstick on Labcoats, the hosts break down why measurable outcomes are the backbone of credible science—and what happens when they're ignored, distorted, or misunderstood. From skewed datasets and selective reporting to the spread of misinformation and propaganda, this conversation exposes how easily numbers can be manipulated to tell the wrong story.The discussion also tackles a growing problem: data illiteracy. When people interpret statistics without understanding analytics—or fail to step back and view systems from a top-down perspective—decisions become driven by bias instead of evidence.Witty, sharp, and unapologetically direct, this episode challenges listeners to question the numbers they see, think critically about “facts,” and recognize the difference between meaningful outcomes and manufactured narratives.

Professor Aephraim Steinberg, winner of Physics World's Breakthrough of the Year in 2011, is that species! For basically 30 years, he's been measuring aspects of physics that others wouldn't touch: Bohmian trajectories, Heisenberg's disturbance bound (he showed it was wrong), even where the photon is inside the double slit (which most textbooks will tell you is impossible). His lab measured negative time — and it keeps reappearing across completely different experiments, stubbornly suggesting it means something.

Today's episode takes us into one of the most unsettling intersections of history and morality, where science, power, and ideology collide. I'm joined by author and historian Jack El-Hai, whose work explores some of the darkest chapters of the modern world. We explore the story of Dr. Douglas Kelley, his role in psychologically evaluating Nazi leadership, his eventual decline, and what it reveals about proximity to darkness. If you've seen Nuremberg starring Russell Crowe, it was based on Jack's book, The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, where humanity was forced to confront evil not as myth, but as something deeply human. We also delve into another area of Jack's work, the history of lobotomies, examining the ethical boundaries of medical experimentation, and the fragile line between treatment and control.LinksDark Finds: Explained YouTube Channel (SUBSCRIBE)HOW IT FALLS APART | Audio Experience
Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (FSE: Z7D)ESGold is advancing its fully permitted Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec with active mill construction and simultaneous exploration drilling. The company has expanded its ANT geophysical survey to 70 km2 to evaluate district-scale mineralization potential, with drilling expected to begin in May 2026. ESGold is targeting initial gold-silver production in 2026, combining near-term cash flow with systematic exploration upside.PyroGenesis Inc. (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY1)PyroGenesis secured a contract with an Asian electronics materials company to supply titanium powder from its NexGen plasma atomization system for use in additive manufacturing of cell phone components. The client is also in discussions to become the primary distributor of PyroGenesis titanium powder across the Asian market. This marks a significant commercial step as the company transitions toward a distribution-based revenue model.Alphamin Resources Corp. (TSXV: AFM) (JSE AltX: APH)Alphamin reported record financial results alongside stable tin production from its high-grade Bisie Tin Mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Recent exploration drilling at both Mpama North and Mpama South intersected visible cassiterite mineralization, supporting efforts to extend mine life. Alphamin supplies approximately 4% of the world's mined tin, making it a key producer of the critical industrial metal.NevGold Corp.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Bearer of Measured Brutality. Do You YOU, feel like I do! Peter Frampton comes alive… Be the BOMB… The man who would go off. Is it seen in your walk, talk, dress, your command of your kids, your eye contact, your voice, your mental involvement in your kids, your social setting awareness. **Yes, I know exactly what you're referring to.** This comes from a 2017 interview with Jack Reynolds, a convicted child molester from Indiana who served over 12 years in prison for offenses in the 1980s (he claimed more than 300 victims). In the interview—conducted after his release and shared widely in child safety circles—he openly described his victim selection process. One of the first things he assessed was the child's father. His exact words (from the interview footage and transcripts that have circulated): “If I thought the father was a threat, I would not approach the child.” He targeted boys who appeared isolated, from split or unstable families, or who lacked a strong, present father figure. If the dad seemed attentive, involved, capable of confrontation, or simply “in the picture” in a protective way, Reynolds moved on to easier targets. He wanted zero risk of exposure, confrontation, or interference—predators like him operate in secrecy and silence, and a vigilant father raises the stakes dramatically. He scoped out potential victims in everyday places like school grounds, Little League fields, or neighborhoods, and he explicitly looked for vulnerability: no close friends the child would confide in, mothers who might welcome “help” from a friendly outsider (he'd position himself as a “superhero” offering to take the kid for outings), boys with little sexual experience, and families lacking strong values or structure. ### Other insights from this and similar predator accounts This isn't unique to Reynolds—multiple law enforcement interviews with convicted offenders (and research on grooming patterns) show predators treat “father presence” as a high-risk filter. Here are related patterns that consistently come up: - **They prioritize low-resistance targets overall.** Beyond the father, they avoid kids who seem confident, assertive, or likely to speak up immediately. They test boundaries gradually (grooming) and bail if the child resists early or has a tight support network (close friends, involved siblings, or other adults who pay attention). Reynolds himself said he skipped kids “that he would tell” because the risk of the child disclosing was too high. - **Absence or perceived weakness is the real opportunity.** Predators don't necessarily need a completely absent dad—they exploit dads who appear distracted, disengaged, overly trusting, or unwilling/unable to act. The “threat” Reynolds described wasn't just physical size or aggression; it was *perceived capability and willingness* to protect (being present, setting boundaries, staying alert). This is why child-safety experts emphasize that involved, visible fatherhood itself is a deterrent. - **Grooming is calculated, not impulsive.** Reynolds stressed it wasn't random or overnight—it involved scouting, building trust with the family, and exploiting cracks (e.g., a stressed single mom or a lonely kid). Modern versions often use social media for the same low-risk access, which he himself warned about in the interview as giving predators even more tools. - **Broader deterrence themes from other interviews.** Similar accounts (from prison interviews and prevention programs) repeatedly highlight that predators scan for *opportunity + low consequence*. Strong parental involvement (dad *and* mom), clear family rules about strangers/adults, kids who are taught to recognize uncomfortable situations and report them, and communities where adults watch out for each other all shrink the “easy target” pool. Physical fitness or “intimidating” appearance can play a role, but consistent presence and boundaries matter more. The core takeaway from Reynolds' own words (and why clips of this interview keep resurfacing on parenting and men's accounts) is simple: predators are opportunistic and risk-averse. They don't want a fight or attention—they want silence and compliance. A father who is actively engaged, physically and mentally prepared to protect, and visibly part of his kids' lives sends a clear signal: “Not this one.” It's a powerful, evidence-based reason for dads to stay sharp, involved, and unapologetically protective. This interview was shared precisely because Reynolds hoped it would help parents close those windows of vulnerability he once exploited. The Bible portrays fatherhood as a sacred responsibility that includes providing, guiding, disciplining, and actively protecting children—both physically and spiritually. While it does not contain a single verse that says "fathers must be aggressive defenders against predators," it repeatedly emphasizes a father's duty to guard his family from harm, sin, and vulnerability through presence, wisdom, instruction, and spiritual leadership. God Himself is often pictured as the ultimate protective Father, serving as the model. Key Direct Instructions to Fathers Ephesians 6:4 (ESV): "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." This verse gives fathers primary responsibility for raising children. "Bring them up" implies nourishing and protecting their growth, while "discipline and instruction" involves training them in God's ways to equip them against moral and spiritual dangers. The warning against provoking anger highlights balanced, non-abusive leadership that builds rather than breaks. Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not turn from it." This calls fathers (and parents) to proactively guide children onto a righteous path, which serves as long-term protection from poor choices or harmful influences. Proverbs 13:24: "Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him." Loving discipline is framed as protective care—guiding children away from folly and self-destruction. (This is balanced by calls for compassionate, non-exasperating leadership elsewhere.) God's Example as Protective Father The Bible often compares human fatherhood to God's character: Psalm 103:13: "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him." A good father shows tender yet strong care, knowing his children's weaknesses and shielding them. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (instructions to Israel, applied to fathers): "These words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise." Constant, everyday spiritual instruction acts as a hedge of protection. Jesus strongly warns against harming or causing children to stumble: Matthew 18:6: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." This underscores God's fierce concern for children's safety and innocence, implying fathers (as protectors) must guard against those who would exploit or lead them astray. Biblical Examples of Protective Fatherhood Job: He rose early to offer sacrifices for his children, acting as a spiritual "hedge" around them out of awareness of their vulnerability to sin or attack (Job 1:5). This models proactive vigilance. Noah: He obeyed God to build the ark, saving his entire family from destruction (Genesis 6-9). Joseph (earthly father of Jesus): He protected the child Jesus by fleeing to Egypt to escape Herod's threat (Matthew 2:13-15). Broader theme: Fathers in Scripture are called to be providers, leaders, and defenders of the household (e.g., 1 Timothy 5:8 on providing for one's family, or the general principle of headship in Ephesians 5:23). Broader Insights on Protection The Bible ties a father's protective role to: Spiritual warfare and awareness: Being alert to dangers (physical, moral, or demonic) and trusting God while taking action (echoed in passages like Psalm 127 on the Lord watching over the house, or fathers as "watchmen"). Teaching and presence: Deuteronomy 6 and Proverbs emphasize daily involvement—being there, teaching truth, and building character so children are not easy targets for evil. Compassion with strength: Protection is not harsh control but loving guidance that prepares children to stand firm (Proverbs 14:26 links fear of the Lord with confidence and refuge for children). In short, Scripture presents the protective father as one who is present, spiritually vigilant, disciplining with love, instructing in God's ways, and willing to stand against threats to his family's well-being—modeling God's own fatherly care. This aligns with the idea that involved, attentive fatherhood raises the "cost" for anyone seeking to harm or exploit a child. Many Christian teachings on family draw from these principles to encourage dads to be both tender shepherds and strong guardians.

Karim Awad walked into EFG Hermes at one of the most turbulent moments in Egypt's recent history — a company caught mid-revolution, a bruised brand, and a region that wasn't sure it wanted to stabilise. What he did next is what this conversation is about. Karim and Hashem talked about the two years of firefighting that most people never saw — before the decade of expansion that everyone did. About the quiet conviction that drove him to turn a pure-play investment bank into a full-fledged financial services group. And about the question we found most interesting: how does Karim measure success? His answer surprised Hashem.

8. Houthis Launch Measured Missile and Drone Attacks Against Israel GUEST: Bill Roggio, Bridget Tumi SUMMARY: The Houthishave entered the Iran war by launching drone and missile attacks on Israel. This "measured" approach signals support for the axis of resistance while attempting to avoid an overwhelming American military retaliation., Bridget Tumi reports that the Houthis officially joined the conflict after one month, targeting Israel to show solidarity with Lebanon and Gaza,. This strategy is calculated to avoid a major U.S. response, as closing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—which carries 10-15% of global oil—would provoke international intervention. Despite previous air campaigns, the Houthis retain significant military capabilities, including Iranian-supplied cruise and ballistic missiles, and see themselves as the vanguards of the broader Muslim cause,,.

Host Andrea Samadi revisits a 2021 conversation with Dr. Kristen Holmes (VP of Performance Science at WHOOP) to explain how measuring sleep, recovery, and strain transforms performance and resilience. The episode emphasizes that small daily habits in downtime—sleep, HRV, hydration, and strategic movement—create a sustainable competitive advantage. Practical tips include tracking one recovery metric, building a shutdown routine, auditing downtime choices, prioritizing consistent sleep, and balancing strain with recovery so you can train smarter, reduce stress, and improve focus and wellbeing. For today's EP 390, we cover: ✔ What “What gets measured gets improved” really means for performance ✔ How sleep, recovery, and strain work together as one system ✔ Why recovery—not effort—is the true driver of results ✔ The hidden cost of high strain without adequate sleep ✔ How to use data to match your effort to your recovery capacity ✔ The difference between training harder vs. training smarter ✔ Why shorter, intentional workouts can outperform longer sessions ✔ How wearable data (like WHOOP) builds awareness and better decision-making ✔ The connection between overtraining, inflammation, and performance plateaus ✔ How to create sustainable performance through balance, not extremes Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and here we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience—so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. When we launched this podcast seven years ago, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask— not in school, not in business, and not in life: If results matter—and they matter now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make these results happen? Most of us were taught what to do. Very few of us were taught how to think under pressure, how to regulate emotion, how to sustain motivation, or even how to produce consistent results without burning out. That question led me into a deep exploration of the mind–brain–results connection—and how neuroscience applies to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, we bring you leading experts to break down complex science and translate it into practical strategies that we can all apply immediately. Season 15 we've organized as a review roadmap, where each episode explores one foundational brain system—and each phase builds on the one before it. Season 15 Roadmap: Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety Phase 2 — Neurochemistry & Motivation Phase 3 — Movement, Learning & Cognition Phase 4 — Perception, Emotion & Social Intelligence Phase 5 — Integration, Insight & Meaning PHASE 1: REGULATION & SAFETY Staples: Sleep + Stress Regulation Core Question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Anchor Episodes Episode 384[i] — Baland Jalal How learning begins: curiosity, sleep, imagination, creativity Episode 385[ii] — Bruce Perry “What happened to you?” — trauma, rhythm, relational safety Episode 387[iii] Sui Wong Autonomic balance, lifestyle medicine, brain resilience Episode 389[iv] Rohan Dixit HRV, real-time self-regulation, nervous system literacy Episode 390 Dr. Kristen Holmes (Whoop) Recovery Metrics, physiological readiness Episode 391 Antonio Zadra Sleep, dreaming, REM Integration EPISODE 390 — Dr. Kristen Holmes Recovery Metrics, physiological readiness. In Phase 1: Regulation & Safety, we are asking one essential question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? And today we cover this topic as we travel back to May 2021 for EP 134[v] when we first met Dr. Kristen Holmes, the VP of Performance Science at Whoop. Back then, I had just turned 50 and purchased the Whoop wearable tracker to help me to improve my weakest link (at the time): Sleep. For today's EP 390 — We revisit this earlier episode with Dr. Kristen Holmes and her work that centers on one powerful truth: What gets measured gets improved. In our original conversation, we explored sleep, recovery, and strain — and how understanding your body's data can transform performance, health, and resilience. This episode bridges physiology and performance — showing how awareness becomes optimization. A lot has changed with the Whoop wearable device in the past 5 years and you don't need to use a wearable to tune into our conversation, to see how we can improve YOUR weakest link (once you have discovered what it is).
What if the way we've been taught to lead… is quietly destroying people?In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Kellan Fluckiger sits down with CEO Robby Humble to expose the hidden cost of fear-based leadership — a cost that isn't measured in dollars, but in burnout, broken relationships, and even lives.This isn't theory. This is lived experience from inside the system — and a bold challenge to lead differently.Key Takeaways:Why fear and greed still dominate leadership todayHow corporations have “institutionalized fear”The hidden human cost: burnout, breakdowns, and deathWhy fear creates compliance — but kills innovation and meaningThe myth of success and the “gold exterior, black interior” realityHow leaders unintentionally perpetuate harmful systemsThe difference between managing people vs inspiring themThe CALM leadership model (Center, Attune, Lead, Make Meaning)How to create psychologically safe, high-performing teamsWhy meaning — not perks — drives real engagementHow to lead with love without sacrificing standards or results

Remember the marks on the wall? Measured in inches and years, parents chart the growth of their children with a semi-permanent reminder etched into a wall or door frame—a visual declaration of growth. Your spiritual growth has marks too, but with one difference: growth is optional. And the choice is yours. The growth you seek is not found at the end of the road of guilt or determined effort. Instead, Ephesians shows us a path to growth that is surprisingly accessible. So, get your pencil out, and let's mark the wall together. First time listening to our podcast?

Episode Summary In this reflective and candid conversation, Brian Miller sits down with Angie Ward, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program at Denver Seminary, to explore what it means to lead from gravitas rather than persona. Angie shares why she shifted her writing voice toward deeper transparency in her Substack, The Contemplative Leader, and how embracing her full story—including mistakes, introversion, perfectionism, and even complex PTSD—has strengthened rather than weakened her leadership. This episode explores substantial leadership, contemplative presence, authenticity in a performative culture, and why becoming a better person may be the most important credential a coach can earn. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. From Content to Contemplation Angie reflects on her evolution as a writer and leader. Early on, she felt pressure to produce "content-heavy," didactic leadership writing. Over time, she realized people are far less interested in polished expertise and far more drawn to authentic reflection. Her shift: Writing pastorally instead of performatively Sharing lessons learned from real mistakes Letting her voice emerge from who she is, not just what she knows Leadership influence flows from identity, not information. 2. The "Gravitas Era" Angie describes entering what she calls her gravitas era—a season of leadership marked by weight, depth, and grounded presence. Gravitas, in her words, isn't about dominance. It's about: Emotional and spiritual substance Measured speech Deep listening Carrying responsibility without needing applause As leaders mature, their authority shifts from "listen to me" to "there's something steady here." 3. Substantial vs. Performative Leadership Brian references The Great Divorce, noting Lewis' imagery of heaven as a place of increasing substance. The connection? True leadership is about becoming substantial—grounded, present, integrated. Substance does not happen automatically with age. It comes through: Reflection Excavation Honest self-examination Courage to confront woundedness Experience ≠ maturity. Integration = maturity. 4. Redefining Perfection As a self-described recovering perfectionist, Angie reframes perfection not as flawlessness, but as being perfectly present. This includes: Showing up fully Owning mistakes (like spilling communion in front of a church) Admitting introversion and the need to recharge Naming mental health realities The paradox: The more substantial you become, the freer you are with your flaws. 5. Persona vs. Presence Angie pushes back against the "leader mystique" culture—the polished bio, the highlight reel, the curated persona. She reminds listeners: Your bio hides the rhinestone-gluing nights in Indiana. Authority grows from stewarded wounds. People are starving for leaders who feel real. Authenticity cannot be manufactured through tactics. It emerges from integration. 6. Coaching and Becoming a Better Person Brian observes something many coaches discover: To earn a credential like PCC, you don't just learn techniques—you become more aware, more grounded, more emotionally integrated. You cannot ask powerful questions from the outside. You must do the work internally. Substantial leaders ask substantial questions. Memorable Quotes "We lead out of who we are, not just what we do." "I feel like I'm entering my gravitas era." "Experience does not equal maturity." "The more substantial you are, the more free you are with your flaws." "I've had to redefine perfect as perfectly present." Resources Mentioned Angie's Substack: The Contemplative Leader Angie's website: angiewardphd.com The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis Who This Episode Is For Coaches seeking deeper integration, not just sharper tools Leaders tired of persona-driven leadership culture Christian leaders wrestling with authenticity and authority Anyone who senses they're entering a new season of gravitas Reflection Questions Where might you be leading from persona rather than presence? What wounds or experiences have shaped your gravitas? How would your leadership change if perfection meant "fully present"? What would it look like to steward your voice instead of perform it?
Nigel Baker: Why Scrum Masters Should Be Measured on Outcomes, Impacts, and Team Happiness Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "No customer's going to come to you and say, do you know why I bought your product? Your remarkable compliance with your internal development process. What they're interested in is outcomes and impacts." - Nigel Baker Nigel challenges the traditional ways of measuring Scrum Master success. He points to tools like the Nokia test—which, he jokes, was neither a test nor invented by Nokia—as examples of process fidelity assessments that miss the point entirely. Compliance with a process tells you nothing about whether customers are satisfied or whether the team is delivering value. Instead, Nigel argues for measuring Scrum Masters on outcomes and impacts: customer satisfaction, revenue generation, and efficiencies—the same things a Product Owner gets judged on. But he adds a crucial dimension that POs often overlook: team happiness. Not as an end goal, but as a leading indicator. Happy teams don't leave. Happy teams do better work. Team contentness is a KPI that signals whether the deeper success factors are in place. When your team is deeply unhappy, no amount of velocity or story completion will save you from attrition and decline. Self-reflection Question: How are you currently measuring your success as a Scrum Master—on process compliance, or on the outcomes, impacts, and wellbeing your team actually delivers? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Keep It Fresh—A Different Format Every Sprint Nigel's answer to the "favorite retrospective format" question is deliberately controversial: he doesn't have one. His approach is to use a different format every single sprint. Retrospective formats, he argues, "age like milk"—by Sprint 12, asking "what should we do differently?" with the same structure produces diminishing returns. Novelty creates energy. He sometimes gets teams to invent their own formats, which produces some of the most forensic and intense retrospectives he's seen—teams building "superweapons" and then realizing they have to turn those weapons on themselves. But Nigel's most practical tip is using retrospective techniques inside the Sprint Review. The Review is a product retrospective, and stakeholders shouldn't sit "like Roman emperors in the Colosseum, watching the developers as gladiators." Instead, use facilitation methods to extract "sweet, juicy, honey-flavoured feedback" from stakeholders about what they'd change in the product. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

The Lord offers practical spiritual advice, reminding us that the measure we use will be used on us. (Lectionary #230) March 2, 2026 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com
Today on Stinchfield we expose the attempted Deep State disruption. A failed sabotage of President Trumps State of the Union Address. Viewers immediately noticed irregular audio levels and what sounded like deliberate over modulation of President Trump’s microphone, a tactic aimed at undermining the power of Trumps spoken word. There are NO mistakes in Washington, the annoying peaking audio levels was by design and someone needs to be fired over it. It should serve as a reminder that President Trump's political opposition doesn’t just sit across the aisle, it lurks inside the broken wheels of government itself. Still, Tuesday night will go down as one of the most defining moments of the modern political era. President Trump delivered what may have been the greatest State of the Union address of his career. The tone was confident. Measured. Presidential. But when it needed to be, it was also razor sharp. Over modulation or not. He didn’t just speak to the American people. He exposed the opposition in real time. And then came the moment no one will ever forget. When President Trump asked members of Congress to stand if they believe in putting the safety of American citizens first… Democrats stayed seated. Let that sink in. Border security. Law enforcement. Protecting families from violent crime. And they refused to stand. It wasn’t partisan politics. It was a defining image. One that told the entire country exactly where each party stands. The contrast could not have been clearer:America First versus America Last. We break down the strategy behind the speech, why the tone was pitch perfect, and how Trump once again forced Democrats to reveal themselves on the national stage.

Do you ever feel like you're being measured — even when no one is saying anything out loud? Measured by how you look. By how your kids behave. By how put-together your life appears. By what other moms seem to be doing better than you. Maybe you don't call it “image.” Maybe you call it pressure. Or comparison. Or trying not to fail. Or just wanting to be seen as a good mom. In today's episode, we continue our series on the sneaky things that steal our joy by talking about another quiet idol in our culture: the idol of image. Not just caring what people think — but letting what people think shape how you live. We talk about how image takes over when: • You feel anxious about how others see your parenting • You hide your struggles instead of asking for help • You compare your life to what you see online • You perform instead of rest • You feel like you have to hold everything together This episode will help you: • Recognize where image is driving your choices • Understand why it leaves you exhausted and insecure • See how comparison is robbing you of peace • Learn how to live from identity instead of performance • Begin trading pressure for freedom and approval for peace If you've been feeling tense, unseen, or like you're never quite enough — this conversation will help you name what's really going on underneath it. You were never meant to manage an image. You were meant to live from who God says you are. And that's where freedom begins. love, Brittany Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

In this solo episode, Darin dives into one of the most universal modern experiences: the feeling that time is accelerating. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and lived experience, he breaks down why time doesn't actually speed up, but our experience of it radically changes. From the impact of digital distraction and divided attention to the way novelty, memory, aging, and even COVID reshaped our internal sense of time, this episode offers both clarity and agency. Darin shows how reclaiming attention, breaking monotony, and creating richer experiences can give us the feeling of having our time back. What You'll Learn Why time measured by a clock is different from time experienced by the brain How attention, memory, and emotion construct subjective time Why boredom feels slow while flow states feel fast How novelty creates richer memories and longer-feeling lives The role of routine and monotony in time compression How digital technology fragments attention and erases memory Why social media scrolling makes time disappear without satisfaction How COVID disrupted temporal landmarks and distorted time perception Why time feels faster as we age The neuroscience behind memory density and perceived duration Whether time itself is an illusion or a constructed experience Practical ways to slow down your experience of time How breaking routine restores a sense of fullness and presence Why life is measured in experiences, not seconds Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the exploration of time 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and frequency-based healing 00:02:16 – Why time feels like it's speeding up 00:03:07 – Measured time vs experienced time 00:03:39 – Subjective time and how the brain constructs duration 00:04:38 – Boredom, flow, and why time feels slow or fast 00:05:20 – Memory density and time compression 00:05:42 – Clock models vs attention and memory models 00:06:13 – Novelty, travel, and rich experiences 00:06:34 – Routine, repetition, and unremarkable days 00:07:21 – Divided attention and disappearing moments 00:07:56 – The digital shift and fragmented attention post-2000 00:08:30 – Micro-stimulation and wasted time 00:09:12 – Why scrolling doesn't equal flow 00:09:46 – Social acceleration and modern life 00:10:25 – COVID as a global experiment in time perception 00:10:55 – Loss of temporal landmarks during lockdown 00:11:57 – Sponsor: Caldera Lab and clean skincare 00:13:39 – Research on monotony and time compression 00:14:40 – Aging, fewer neural events, and faster time 00:15:30 – Childhood vs adulthood time perception 00:16:22 – Is time real or constructed? 00:16:57 – Physics, relativity, and subjective experience 00:17:56 – How to slow down your experience of time 00:18:12 – Novelty, adventure, and memory creation 00:19:00 – Sustained attention vs multitasking 00:19:37 – Breaking monotony in daily life 00:20:06 – Reducing digital distraction 00:20:25 – Enjoying life as a scientific practice 00:20:49 – Time as memory, not seconds 00:21:08 – Gaining agency over your experience of life 00:21:29 – Creating a richer year through experience 00:22:10 – Curiosity, adventure, and Darin's fascination with time 00:23:27 – Closing thoughts and call to action Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.
