OA1217 - Well, we recorded a bit late to make sure we caught Trump's "announcement" thingy and it was... nothing. But that's good! Matt also takes us through more travel bans that are going into effect and have been way underreported on. But The Federalist has a piece saying not only is this all great, but Trump should proudly adopt 1920s immigration policy. There is no quiet part anymore. But fortunately, Matt has a fun footnote for us to bring us back up!
In this powerful episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin takes you deep into the core confusion of the human condition: the hallucination of separation. Broadcasting from the Yucatán, Kevin explores why your consciousness feels different depending on your environment, why “I” is the most misunderstood word in the human language, and how the illusion of being a separate ego is the root of all suffering.Kevin opens by distinguishing monism - the experiential recognition that all is one - from the far more common dualistic worldview most humans live in without question. He breaks down how the ego creates a false center of identity, a shadow-self imagined as a commander behind the eyes, and how this hallucination leads to fear, conflict, resistance, and misalignment across every dimension of life.Drawing on wisdom from Alan Watts, spiritual psychology, and his own Alpha philosophy, Kevin reframes humanity's relationship to nature, purpose, money, and each other. You are not an isolated observer placed “into” the world, he argues - you emerged from the world, just like an apple emerges from an apple tree. You are not a stranger in an indifferent universe; you are the universe becoming aware of itself.This episode explores:Why the ego believes “I am in here and the world is out there,” and why this premise is falseHow the belief in separation leads to fear, anxiety, loneliness, and conflictWhat monism reveals about your relationship to nature, your purpose, your emotions, and other humansWhy artificial intelligence is not consciousness, not intelligence, and never will beHow your environment is an extension of your body, not something separate from youHow shifting from dualism to unity transforms your thoughts, emotions, actions, and results through the Model of AlignmentKevin also offers practical embodiment tools to dissolve the hallucination of separation, including active meditation, breath practices, body-based inquiry, and applying the Model of Alignment to reveal whether your identity is operating from ego or from Alpha unity consciousness.Ultimately, this is an episode about awakening - about remembering your true nature as the field of consciousness expressing itself temporarily as a human being. The end of suffering doesn't come from controlling life, resisting emotion, or conquering the world. It comes from recognizing that I and life are not two things. When separation dissolves, fear dissolves with it. What remains is flow, power, presence, and freedom - the Alpha state.Brother, you are not separate from nature, from God, from humanity, or from your purpose. You are the expression of the infinite in human form.

Send us a textThank you, Chad Murphy, for making this week's episode possible!A bullied kid named Blue walked into a dojo and found a lifetime blueprint for leadership at home and at work. That mentor didn't just teach kicks—he taught trust, focus, and a community model that turns students into teachers. In this conversation, we go deep on how those early lessons shape the way we parent, listen, and show up for the people we lead.Blue Stiley is a professional keynote speaker, podcast host, and author who has spent decades uncovering and cultivating potential in himself and others. He discovered his passion for mentoring and entrepreneurship at just 13 while teaching martial arts, and over the past 30 years, he has carried that gift forward to inspire leaders, teams, and communities.We talk about “currency,” the motivations that really move someone, and how a single, well-aimed sentence from a trusted mentor can redirect a teenager more effectively than a hundred lectures. Blue shares a raw look at learning from two fathers: the sensei who modeled presence and the biological dad who modeled what to avoid. That “two-teacher lens” fuels his philosophy as a model, actor, strength coach to Olympians, and now keynote speaker: earn trust, make genuine connections, and build a community where people feel heard, seen, and valued.You'll hear practical mindset tools too. Leave problems at the door to train your focus. Put the phone down because a kid's request is a 10-minute window, not an hour. Let the egg break—experiments teach faster than warnings. Teach self-defense literacy without pressure by emphasizing hips-first power and clean fundamentals. And don't miss the baseball cards hustle: a cafeteria side deal turned into licensed tables at card shows, powered by a mom who drove the miles and believed. That story paid for college and cemented a simple definition of success—pickups after school, family dinners, and presence that compounds.If you're a parent, coach, or leader, this one will sharpen your approach. Listen, learn someone's currency, and build a community around them. If it resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what lesson are you taking into your home this week?Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

Today Allie unpacks Matthew 18, which often gets used out of context and is misinterpreted. She dives into the difference between secret disputes and public rebukes, providing insight on how Christians should handle confrontation. Allie then looks back at 2025, highlighting the most significant events, such as Donald Trump's inauguration and Pope Leo XIV becoming the first American leader of the Catholic Church. She dives into some of her most memorable moments that took place, including the Share the Arrows conference and her Jubilee debate. Allie holds back tears as she talks about her fondest memories of Charlie Kirk and the legacy he leaves behind.

Today, I am delighted to connect with Dr. Sameena Rahman, a board-certified OBGYN and certified menopause practitioner with over a decade of expertise in midlife sexual medicine and concierge gynecology. Dr. Rahman founded the GSM Collective in downtown Chicago to deliver a more personalized patient-first model of health care for women. In our conversation, we explore how cultural and racial factors influence care for women, particularly during the menopausal transition. We discuss the heart disease risk of women with a baseline of inflammation and insulin resistance, the effects of allostatic load on minority women, why cognitive health is crucial, the impact of alcohol, and why the current medical model is a systemic failure that gaslights women. We also examine the impact of pelvic floor therapy, appropriate pelvic examinations, specific autoimmune vulvar conditions, and how oral contraceptives affect sexual health, and Dr. Rahman shares her recommendations for preventing frailty and loss of independence. I am a big admirer of Dr. Rahman's work and look forward to having her join us again after her new book is published. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why Hormone Replacement Therapy alone might not solve all menopausal genital issues How pelvic floor issues can even affect women who have not given vaginal births What a routine Pap smear can miss, regarding vulvar and vestibular health What a simple Q-tip test can reveal about vulvar pain How untreated pain can create a cycle of pelvic floor problems How local hormone therapy can target vulvar and vestibular pain where systemic hormones may fall short The benefits of trauma-informed exams The value of integrating pelvic floor therapy with local hormone treatment How long-term birth control use might affect vulvar tissue What to consider for balancing contraception with sexual health Bio: Dr. Sameena Rahman Dr. Sameena Rahman is a board-certified OB/GYN, sex-med gynecologist, menopause specialist, and a clinical assistant professor of OB/GYN at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. She is the founder of the GYN & Sexual Medicine Collective, a successful concierge practice that emphasizes evidence-based medicine, and an affiliate of Ms. Medicine. Dr. Rahman is dedicated to evaluating and treating each patient with compassion, trauma-informed care, and an awareness of personal bias. Additionally, she hosts the podcast Gyno Girl Presents: Sex, Drugs & Hormones and will release her first book, Brown Girls Disease?

What makes a business a high-performing system? Duplication. Helping a team member get promoted is rewarding, as it contributes to the team's growth. However, it can also create their fear of climbing the sales ladder and becoming independent.As a leader and mentor, you maintain their momentum by continuing to guide them in refining their sales strategy. You cannot afford to let uncertainty kill a new leader's drive. Your job is not to trust that they are more experienced now, but to create a structure that guarantees their success.In this Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos is back with another Accelerator call to share his apprenticeship system that makes them consistently excel in sales.You will hear powerful insights and motivation around:Duplicating in leadershipTraining team members using an apprenticeship in sales callsMaking incentives effectiveStaying positive while facing objectionsUsing personal stories to illustrate benefitsBalazs presents a scenario where he encourages new leaders to learn from how he does the sales calls. By listening to 3 to 5 calls regularly and providing the Sales Playbook, which outlines the introduction, presentation, objection handling, and closing sequences, you improve the success rate of calls. Once your team masters it, duplication happens, and that's how your team continues to join the ranks.Lastly, you need to face objections with positive energy. You acknowledge their point: "Of course, that makes perfect sense. But you know what? You may not realize that the majority of people actually get started during the holidays for these exact reasons.""The most important thing is that this duplication has now set the standard and the culture for your business." - Balazs W KardosReady to stop creating consistent leaders?

What happens when a flex workspace veteran with decades of global experience decides the future isn't about branded coworking takeovers—but about making flex invisible so the building itself can thrive? In this episode, Andrea Pirrotti, Head of Real Estate at infinitSpace, shares her unconventional approach to helping landlords activate underutilized space without heavy CapEx, long lease-up timelines, or the friction that comes with traditional flex operators. Andrea's background is extensive—she ran global marketing for IWG across 65 countries, led operations at Office Evolution, and now she's bringing a Dutch operator's profitable, partnership-first model to the Americas. We cover: Why spec suites look like a solution but often lose money for landlords How infinitSpace's semi-white-label model (Beyond) blends into a building's existing design and brand The fatal mistakes operators make that Andrea's team capitalizes on when taking over failed spaces Why "high optics, low friction" (like a barista at the entrance) creates outsized value without blowing budgets The magic 10% rule: why every building should dedicate at least 10% of inventory to flex Why banks still don't know how to value flex revenue—and what needs to change If you're a landlord wondering whether flex makes sense for your building, or an operator curious about partnership models that actually work, this conversation is essential listening.

U.S. health officials like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tout San Patrignano, Europe's best-known rehab center, as a "beautiful model" of long-term drug treatment. But it and other therapeutic communities hold infamous, dark histories, and some addiction experts warn the style of care can leave residents vulnerable to abuse.
Low resource settings require much innovation and streamlining resources to meet set goals. With healthcare becoming more commercial and profit driven, missional healthcare in low resource settings faces many challenges. Sustainability is a big question with people finance , and equipment scarce and hard to come by. Missional models of healthcare often run into hurdles of sustainability, longevity and relevance even as healthcare slowly turns into business. In this setting of multifactorial challenges and increasing compliances how can missional healthcare be relevant and sustainable? Many saints of God have committed their lives to fulfil this great commission in some of the most underserved and unreached areas of the world. With the birth of Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA) a different model of missional healthcare emerged in India. Over the last 55 years of its existence, EHA has shown that through all the challenges, this may be one of the ways to sustain missional healthcare in areas of need. With increasing divide between the rich and poor, overwhelmed government systems, a ruthless insurance system, and high end corporate healthcare, it is still possible for missional healthcare to provide low cost, high quality, technologically advanced care to people in need while remaining sustainable. We bring lessons from India and our experience with Emmanuel Hospital Association over the last 3 decades.
Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a firm owner looking for ways to integrate AI into your business? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Richard interviews Hamid Kohan, founder of Law Practice AI, about the rapid impact of AI and technology on law firm operations. Hamid introduces his three-part power model and discusses how these elements are transforming legal staffing, operations, and profitability. Hamid shares his three-part power model and how it can change hiring for firms. The model includes ⅓ local staff, ⅓ virtual staff and ⅓ AI. Including some of each can really transform a law firm and allow operations and staffing to benefit from aspects that might seem very different. Virtual staff can cut down your costs and AI can allow you to figure out ways to take some work away from busy local staff and simplify it.There are areas of a firm that would thrive using AI. AI can supplement what is going on and shift people into more customer facing roles where they are helping clients. Roles like legal assistance, document collections and document summaries can benefit from the use of AI. These do not really require much human interaction, so these areas can be streamlined and made to work in a way to benefit a firm.Listen to learn more!2:12 Defining the three part power model 4:29 The vision for an AI law firm operating system13:13 Reasons for the law field's slow tech adoption 40:12 Advice to start new AI-driven law firms 46:58 Areas of a firm that would thrive using AITune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Tim Kentley Klay, CEO & co-founder of HYPRLABS, joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how the company is achieving autonomous driving in downtown San Francisco using just 33 watts of compute and zero simulation or HD maps. By prioritizing "learning velocity," HYPR utilizes an end-to-end neural network that learns continuously from real-world driving data, avoiding the structural noise injected by classical simulation and hand-coded heuristics.While the industry often relies on massive engineering teams and brute-force compute, HYPRLABS is executing a high-efficiency strategy with a team of just four engineers and a foundational model trained for only $850. Drawing inspiration from DeepMind's AlphaZero, the company allows the AI to model the environment without predefined rules, using their autonomous vehicle fleet as a validation platform for a new category of robots launching next year.Episode Chapters0:00 Introduction to HYPRDRIVE1:30 HYPRDRIVE5:40 Learning Velocity 8:10 Building HYPR12:23 Training the System 18:55 The Origins of the HYPR Approach 21:36 Building Trust23:35 Simulation 27:07 $850 to Train the Model30:44 HYPR Robots33:22 Cameras35:16 What's Next Recorded on Sunday, December 14, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Rush University Medical Center's newly established Dizziness Clinic brings together specialists in otolaryngology, neurology, audiology, and vestibular therapy to evaluate and treat patients with persistent or unexplained dizziness. Co-directors Mohamed Elrakhawy, MD, an otolaryngologist, and Jesse Taber, MD, a neurologist, discuss how the clinic operates, why cross-disciplinary collaboration matters, and what diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are most effective for this challenging patient population.
It was an idea that defied logic: an online encyclopedia that anyone could edit.You didn't need to have a PhD or even use your real name – you just needed an internet connection. Against all odds, it worked. Today, billions of people use Wikipedia every month, and studies show it's about as accurate as a traditional encyclopedia.But how? How did Wikipedia not just turn into yet another online cesspool, filled with falsehoods, partisanship and AI slop? Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales just wrote a book called The Seven Rules of Trust, where he explains how he was able to build that rarest of things: a trustworthy source of information on the internet. In an era when trust in institutions is collapsing, Wales thinks he's found a blueprint – not just for the web, but for everything else too.Mentioned:The Seven Rules of Trust by Jimmy Wales and Dan GardnerA False Wikipedia ‘Biography' by John Seigenthaler (USA Today)Machines Like Us is produced by Mitchell Stuart.

Professor Bas van Fraassen argues science doesn't deliver literal truth about reality, meaning unobservable physics is merely a model. He also contends the self isn't a thing and that logic permits free will, ultimately sharing how he maintains faith in God without relying on metaphysics.

Edwin Chen is the founder and CEO of Surge AI, the data infrastructure company behind nearly every major frontier model. Surge works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google, providing the high-quality data and evaluation infrastructure that powers their models. Edwin reveals why optimizing for popular benchmarks like LMArena is "basically optimizing for clickbait," how one frontier lab's models regressed for 6-12 months without anyone knowing, and why the industry's approach to measurement is fundamentally broken. Jacob and Edwin discuss what actually makes elite AI evaluators, why "there's never going to be a one size fits all solution" for AI models, and how frontier labs are taking surprisingly divergent paths to AGI.

Headlines say church is shrinking, but the bigger story is personal: will our kids still love Jesus when they leave our home? We tackle the myths and get specific about what actually keeps young adults rooted—starting with genuine salvation, daily Scripture habits, and real service that turns them from consumers into contributors.We break down the difference between belief and belonging, unpack why 1 Corinthians 12 makes isolation a losing strategy, and show how Ephesians 4 equips families to grow through truth spoken in love. You'll hear how clarifying research on church attendance and divorce reframes the narrative, why online stand-ins can't replace embodied discipleship, and how small acts of service—yes, even running slides at eight—train courage, humility, and ownership. We make the case that local church community doesn't just rescue marriages in crisis; it prevents crisis by surrounding couples with counsel, accountability, and friendships that align with Scripture.If you want your son or daughter to keep meeting with God's people, start now: ask for their testimony in writing, set Bible reading benchmarks together, and place them in roles that stretch their gifts. Model respect for volunteers, show your weaknesses, and invite accountability. Faithfulness is our call; outcomes belong to God.

I had the privilege of sitting down with Paul Elam for this enlightening conversation. Paul is a well known advocate for men's rights. He is the founder of ‘A Voice for Men' - the international conference on men's issues. He inspired the making of ‘The Red Pill' movie that aired in 2016. He's been a men's advisor and counselor for many decades now, and I appreciate how deeply he cares about supporting men.It was a pleasure to talk to him and I learned so much - I know you will too!We unpack the hidden assumptions about dating and marriage in the west under the ‘romantic model.' We also spend time getting to the bottom of why men are still so misunderstood in the west and what men need now more than anything.Listen in to learn about the origins of the romantic model, different priorities of men and women, what's missing from the mythopoetic movement, the change in male consciousness, the biggest killer of men, what a woman owes her marriage, being a ‘guardian of respect,' and so much more.Connect With Paul:Via X: https://x.com/RealPaulElamVia Substack: https://paulelam.substack.com/XY Crew: https://paulelam.com/xycrew/TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Intro & Preview: "Coddled Princesses" 00:32 — Welcome: Introducing Paul Elam01:53 — A Brief History of the Men's Movement 02:36 — From 1920s Protests to the Mythopoetic Movement 04:36 — The "Red Pill" Explosion & Its Flaws 05:49 — The Missing Piece: Accountability for Women 07:05 — The Critical Question: "What Do You Bring to the Table?" 08:52 — How We Got Here: Family Courts & The Romantic Model 10:24 — Hostile Dependency & Asserting Autonomy 11:24 — Contradictions: Feminism, Girlbosses, and Tradwives 13:07 — The Origins of Gynocentrism & Courtly Love 15:40 — Why the Romantic Model Failed After Divorce Stigma Lifted 18:12 — Trying to Satiate the Insatiable 20:22 — The "Simp" Dynamic: Groveling Breeds Resentment 21:58 — Why "Wild Man" Retreats Avoid the Real Issues 24:55 — Peeling Back Gynocentrism: Treating Each Other as Human 26:28 — Evolution vs. Socialization in Attraction 28:22 — The Paradox of Women's Unhappiness 30:19 — Disconnection from the Feminine Body 31:36 — The Necessity of Being Complete Before Relationships 33:30 — Understanding How Men Are Manipulated by Shame 35:49 — "Human Doings": Men's Value Tied to Provision 39:11 — Paul's Stance: Rejecting Legal Marriage 40:58 — Biblical Roles & The Myth of the 1950s Housewife 43:40 — Critique of the "She Has No Worries" Mindset 46:13 — Controversial Advice: Stop "Dating" Entirely 48:51 — The Transactional Nature of Modern Dating 50:00 — Debunking the Soulmate Myth 52:41 — Men, Silence, and the "Defective Women" Therapy Model 53:44 — Men Heal Through Action (The Michael Jordan Story) 56:06 — The Erosion of Male Spaces & The Bystander Effect 59:43 — Daniel Penny & The Risks of Male Protection 01:01:49 — Personal Safety: Agency vs. Expecting Protection 01:02:45 — Most Men's Issues Stem from Relationship Choices 01:04:18 — The Mirror Test: Taking Accountability for Abusive Partners 01:05:54 — Self-Esteem vs. Self-Respect 01:08:35 — Paul's Relationship Secret: Being the "Guardian of Respect" 01:10:52 — Teaching Women the Definition of Respect 01:13:23 — The Ultimate Power: Willingness to Walk Away 01:15:09 — Conclusion & Where to Find Paul Elam___________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!

We often think of influencers as people with huge follower counts, but true influence happens at the micro-level, right where your customers and brand evangelists live. This is the realm of Personality-Led Growth, and it's where B2B marketing is headed, but we there's a lot of improvement needed beforehand. On this episode of FINITE, we're joined by Andy Lambert, the entrepreneur who scaled ContentCal to 30,000 users before selling the business to Adobe.Andy has a rare perspective, having seen influencer marketing from both the scrappy startup trenches and the massive enterprise scale:Andy shares the costly mistake of misaligned paid media and how ContentCal pivoted to building genuine advocacy through Community-Led Growth and activating micro-evangelists. He explains how this approach doubled pipeline velocity and average sales price.Now leading product at Adobe Express, Andy reveals how he tackles B2B influencer marketing at scale, moving past simple reach to buying creativity and deep integration. He breaks down their strategic partnerships with macro-influencers like Steven Bartlett to drive unaided brand awareness and embed the product directly into a creator's workflow.If you're looking for practical advice on how to structure, manage, and measure your B2B influencer initiatives—shifting your focus from merely buying an audience to cultivating genuine advocacy and authority—this episode is a must-listen.

Chris Badgett explains the main distinctions between cohort-based and self-paced online courses in this LMScast episode, assisting course designers in selecting the approach that best suits their objectives. According to him, self-paced courses are very scalable and manageable since they let students learn on their own, at their own pace, and at any time.

In this episode, Brian Owens is joined by Dana Foley (Head of Catastrophe Research at Chaucer), Joss Matthewman (Chief Revenue Officer at Reask) and Olivia Sloan (Head of Catastrophe Products at Fathom) to explore the growing influence of specialist model vendors in catastrophe risk modelling and why they're anything but “niche”. With decades of combined experience across underwriting, model development and scientific research, the panel discusses how climate change, regulatory pressure and the need for portfolio-specific insight are pushing insurers to reconsider single-platform dependency. They explore how new vendors are filling gaps left by traditional models offering science-led, transparent and highly customisable solutions tailored to specific business needs. Drawing on their respective roles across the risk ecosystem, the panellists explain why the return to multi-modelling is gaining momentum and how platforms like Oasis are helping democratise access to emerging tools. In this conversation, the panel explores: Why “niche” models are proving critical in underserved perils, regions and use cases The evolution from black-box outputs to transparent, collaborative frameworks How science-first models enable faster innovation and user-driven risk views What's enabling and blocking wider adoption of multi-modelling approaches How Fathom and Reask are using AI and machine learning to improve model fidelity Why regulatory scrutiny and climate change demand a more agile modelling approach The role of open platforms like Oasis in supporting innovation and vendor access What insurers need to consider when building a tailored, future-ready modelling strategy Sign up to the InsTech newsletter for a fresh view on the world every Wednesday morning.

Whether we like it or not, global warming is happening. The global temperature has already gone up, and it's going to go up more, because the atmosphere is already full of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and we're continuing to add to that stock. Quite how much it will increase by is a very important question for all of us. Until relatively recently, during much of the 2010s and into the 2020s, many scientists claimed that if we kept on going down the path we were on, if we just kept on with business as usual, then by the end of the century global temperatures would increase by almost five degrees centigrade. This projection was based on something called RCP 8.5, a statistical scenario used by scientists to model the future of the climate. You can still find scientific papers published in 2025 that make the same claim. However, there's a good case that RCP 8.5 should never have been used as the business-as-usual scenario. And in hindsight it doesn't look like an accurate vision of the future at all. So what's going on? Dr Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist and the climate research lead at Stripe, explains the argument.

New Jersey Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill—Naval Academy grad, former helicopter pilot, mom of four and one of America's most important rising leaders—joins Paul just one day before the Army-Navy game to talk about service, courage and standing up to Donald Trump in real time. She explains why Trump's rush toward a war with Venezuela is “almost incomprehensible,” why the mounting evidence of war crimes under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is so dangerous for the military, and how veterans like Sherrill and Senator Mark Kelly are pushing back and reminding troops they must follow the law and the Constitution—not illegal orders. Sherrill breaks down how she won New Jersey, why independents trusted her to freeze utility rate hikes on day one, and what servant leadership looks like when you've actually worn the uniform and still shop at Costco, order Halloween costumes online, and worry about your kids' mental health like everyone else. She and Paul dig into the pressure Trump is putting on the Guard, the stakes for governors like Wes Moore and Sherrill if deployments expand, and why this moment demands governors who understand national security, not partisan theatrics. It's Football Friday, so Paul and Governor-Elect Sherrill also make NFL picks, trash-talk each other over Army-Navy, and preview next year's Army-Navy Game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey—with Sherrill promising to “do it up right” as host and unapologetic Navy fan. Plus: Paul's “dad hack” Christmas-tree clapper tip, Sherrill's “something good” about seeing her midshipmen in Baltimore, and why this episode is a blueprint for how veterans can still rise, lead and win in a Trump-dominated era. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
