According to analysis by Financial Times writer John Burn-Murdoch, something extraordinary has happened to Americans' personalities in the last decade. Longitudinal tests indicate that we've collectively become less extroverted, less agreeable, and more neurotic. The most significant thing Burn-Murdoch found is that measures of conscientiousness among young Americans appears to be in a kind of free fall. Today, John and I talk about his research. We discuss personality tests, the value of conscientiousness, and how the modern world might be scrambling our personalities by making us less interested in other people and more consumed with our own neurotic interiority.

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Traver Boehm — founder of the Man Uncivilized movement, men's coach, and author of Man Uncivilized, Today I Rise, and his newest book 28 Days in Darkness. After divorce, miscarriage, and business collapse, Traver began a journey to rediscover who he was, leading to extreme self-discovery practices — including 28 days and later 49 days in complete darkness — to confront his deepest truths.They discuss men's struggles with disconnection from themselves, others, and something greater, and how distractions like alcohol, porn, and constant busyness keep them from facing life's big questions. Traver shares practical ways to reconnect, create a personal “user manual” for thriving, and remove numbing habits.Jimmy and Traver also explore heartbreak and divorce as opportunities for transformation through honesty, accountability, and intentional growth. From building the life you truly want to redefining masculinity, this episode offers raw, challenging, and inspiring guidance for men seeking purpose and clarity.

The rise and fall of William J. Levitt, the man who made the suburban house a mass commodity. Two material artifacts defined the middle-class American lifestyle in the mid-twentieth century: the automobile, which brought gas stations, highways, commercial strips, and sprawl; and the single-family suburban home, the repository of many families' long-term wealth. While the man who did the most to make the automobile a mass commodity—Henry Ford—is well known, few know the story of the man who did the same for the suburban house. Edward Berenson describes the remarkable career of William Levitt, who did more than anyone else to create the modern suburb. In response to an unprecedented housing shortage as veterans returned home from World War II, his Levittown developments provided inexpensive mass-produced housing that was wildly popular—prospective buyers would camp out in line for two days for the chance to put down a deposit on a Levitt house. He was a celebrity, a life-changing hero to tens of thousands, and the pitchman of a renewed American Dream. But Levitt also shared Ford's dark side. He refused to allow Black people to buy or rent in his developments and doggedly defended this practice against legal challenges. Leading the way for other developers who emulated his actions, he helped ensure that suburbs nationwide remained white enclaves. These legacies are still with us. Levitt made a major contribution to the stubborn wealth disparity between white families and Black families, and his solution to the housing crisis of the 1940s—the detached house and surrounding yard—is a primary cause of the housing crisis today. As a person, Levitt was a strangely guileless and tragic figure. He accumulated vast wealth but, after losing control of his building company, surrendered it all through foolish investments and a lavish lifestyle that included a Long Island mansion and a two-hundred-foot yacht. Just weeks before his death, as a charity patient in a hospital to which he had once given millions, he was still imagining his great comeback. Edward Berenson is a professor of history at New York University and director of its Institute of French Studies. His books include Europe in the Modern World, The Statue of Liberty: A Transatlantic Story, and The Accusation. He lives in Tarrytown, NY. Learn more about your ad choices.

REPLAY FROM 11/13: In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker and dive into the often overlooked connections between hormones, insulin, and environmental factors like lighting and food. We discuss how everyday habits—like staring at screens, exposure to blue and artificial light, even the chemicals we use in our daily routines—and how they are silently contributing to chronic stress and hormone issues. Dr. Stacy shares simple lifestyle changes—such as getting sunlight early in the day, wearing yellow glasses, or using incandescent bulbs—and how these habits can drastically help reset your body's internal clock and support healthy hormone levels. We also discuss the increasing diagnosis of breast cancer and how we can adjust certain lifestyle habits to reduce our risk of certain types of breast cancer.Episode Topics:Why balancing insulin and hormones is critical for your healthThe shocking effects of blue and artificial light on your cortisol levelsSimple, effective tips for protecting your hormones from environmental stressorsHow food, light, and chemicals interact with your body in ways you may not expectDaily practices to improve hormonal balancingBreast cancer awareness: How to address hormonal imbalances to avoid cancer diagnosisHow we can be empowered when it comes to understanding how to prevent certain cancers, like breast cancermuch much more!Follow Dr. Stacy on InstagramDr. Stacy's WebsiteLINK to Dr. Stacy's episode on Breast Cancer

As the 15th of Av approaches, we are returning to this episode on how different Jewish communities date to honor the Jewish "holiday of love."This episode is sponsored by Anonymous who is fond of Shalom Task Force & 18Forty. On this episode of 18Forty, we explore the world of Jewish dating. We spoke to insiders and experts from the Chassidic community, “Yeshiva Orthodox” community, and Modern Orthodox community, looking at the commonalities and differences between each community's approach to finding and building loving relationships. Each community emphasizes different dynamics and difficulties of the process of dating, and by considering them together and independently we can gain a greater understanding of the pressure points around love. How a community approaches dating is a test case for so many of a community's values and vulnerabilities. In this episode, you'll hear from representatives of each community that are intimately involved with the project of communal norms around dating, and be asked to think about your own assumptions and hopes for love. In this interview, we discussed: How does each Jewish community approach dating, from shadchans to dating apps and everything in between? What does a community's approach to dating tell us about the Jewish approaches to love and commitment? What can we learn from the dating practices of communities that are different from our own? Interviews start at 10:31Dr. Yosef Sokol, one of our representatives from the yeshiva world, is a psychologist and the lead researcher of the recent study on the data behind the “shidduch crisis.” We also speak with Dr. Isaac Schechter, another author of the study, Dr. Efrat Sobolofsky, director of the YUConnects matchmaking-and-education program, and Dr. Devorah Mansdorf Agami, an endodontist who met her husband on JSwipe.References:Rabbi Mordechai Lightstone“Examining Average Age at First Marriage within Orthodox Judaism: A Large Community-Based Study” by Yosef Sokol, Naomi Rosenbach, Chayim Rosensweig, Chynna Levin, Shifra Hubner, and Isaac SchechterBikur Cholim of Rockland CountyARRC Institute YUConnectsJSwipeDovid Bashevkin on YUConnects CandiDateBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/18forty-podcast--4344730/support.

Known to many simply as Bill Cooper, he was a decorated Navy veteran, a radio broadcaster, and the controversial author of the underground classic Behold a Pale Horse. But to his followers and his critics he was something more. A prophet. A paranoid. A patriot. Or perhaps, a bit of all three. Born in 1943, Cooper claimed to have witnessed classified UFO documents while working in Naval Intelligence. What followed was a life devoted to revealing the hidden machinery of power: secret governments, alien contact, mind control, and the manipulation of truth itself. His late-night shortwave radio show, The Hour of the Time, became a beacon for seekers, skeptics, and survivalists alike. And while much of what Cooper said sounded extreme, even impossible, over time, some of his warnings about surveillance, media manipulation, and authoritarian creep have aged with chilling accuracy. Cooper was killed in a shootout with law enforcement outside his Arizona home in 2001, just two months after 9/11, a tragedy he claimed was imminent in a broadcast months before it happened. Today, we peel back the layers of myth and mania to ask: Was Milton William Cooper a disinformation agent, a madman, or a man decades ahead of his time? And who better to do that with than author Mark Jacobson, author of Pale Horse Rider: William Cooper the Rise of Conspiracy and the Fall of Trust in America.Mark is a writer and journalist based in Brooklyn, New York. He is known for his explorations of the seamy side of urban life and for his offbeat and witty take on popular culture. Mark is a contributing editor at New York magazine and a frequent contributor to The Village Voice, National Geographic, Natural History magazine, Men's Journal, and other publications.

Georgia's back in play, and this time it's John Ossoff's seat on the line. Everyone remembers how both Senate seats flipped blue in 2020, arguably the biggest down-ballot upset of that cycle. Now Ossoff is up for re-election, and while a lot of people in Democratic circles have high hopes for him, I'm not one of them. I think he's competent, but in a low-turnout election, he's vulnerable — especially against a Republican who can straddle the MAGA base and suburban swing voters. And the one guy who could have done that with ease? Brian Kemp. But Kemp says he's out.That opens the door to speculation — and apparently, to Derek Dooley. I didn't believe it at first. Dooley is a football coach. He's never held elected office, never coached a team in Georgia, and hasn't been politically active in any public sense. But people in Kemp's orbit kept saying his name. Supposedly, he's a close family friend. That's fine. It just doesn't make him Senate material. Especially not in a race where Georgia Republicans need a serious contender to take out an incumbent Democrat.Meanwhile, Buddy Carter and Mike Collins have both declared. Of the two, Collins has more momentum. People I talk to say Kemp World isn't enthusiastic about rallying behind Dooley, and they're not thrilled about having to realign with someone new. Collins could benefit from that vacuum — especially if he secures Trump's endorsement. And if Kemp doesn't step back in or offer a viable replacement, Collins may very well end up the nominee.The tension between Trump and Kemp adds another layer. These two have never been close — their feud goes back to Georgia's certification of the 2020 election and the high-profile primaries that followed. Trump tried to run challengers against both Kemp and Brad Raffensperger, and they destroyed them. So if Trump goes all-in on Collins, and Kemp World is still wandering around trying to sell people on Dooley, it's going to be a messy primary.But let's game it out. If Dooley fizzles and Collins gets hot, then by the fall, we might be looking at Mike Collins versus Jon Ossoff in a high-stakes Senate race. Collins will make Ossoff answer for the border, for crime, and for culture war issues like trans athletes — all while wrapping himself in the Lake and Riley Act. That law, named after a murder victim killed by an undocumented immigrant, is going to be the core of his messaging. It's brutal. It's effective. And it could work.Still, there's one wild card left: Brian Kemp himself. He made his announcement back in April, but if the economy is strong and the polling is tight come Thanksgiving, could he reconsider? Stranger things have happened. And Kemp is the only Republican in Georgia with a proven statewide machine, broad appeal, and a serious shot at clearing the field. If he's still lurking in the background, this race isn't over. In fact, it hasn't even started.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:40 - Georgia Senate Race00:20:32 - Update00:20:54 - Kamala Harris00:24:06 - South Korea Trade Deal00:26:24 - Trump's White House Ballroom00:28:07 - Interview with Josh Jennings01:18:15 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Hey everybody! Episode 163 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Marc-John Brown. I met Marc-John a few years back practicing jiu-jitsu together with my friend and teacher Bruno Momeni (who I also interviewed for this podcast). I was impressed with Marc-John's skill and we realized we were on similar paths. So it was a pleasure to finally sit down and connect and learn more about Marc-John. He shared and spoke about his journey at a young age through South America learning from indigenous earth-based traditions, his wife and her cacao lineage, and how these practices can help us in our modern world. It was a really enjoyable conversation and I trust you all will find Marc-John's wisdom useful and insightful.

Colab is cozy. But production won't fit on a single GPU. Zach Mueller leads Accelerate at Hugging Face and spends his days helping people go from solo scripts to scalable systems. In this episode, he joins me to demystify distributed training and inference — not just for research labs, but for any ML engineer trying to ship real software. We talk through: • From Colab to clusters: why scaling isn't just about training massive models, but serving agents, handling load, and speeding up iteration • Zero-to-two GPUs: how to get started without Kubernetes, Slurm, or a PhD in networking • Scaling tradeoffs: when to care about interconnects, which infra bottlenecks actually matter, and how to avoid chasing performance ghosts • The GPU middle class: strategies for training and serving on a shoestring, with just a few cards or modest credits • Local experiments, global impact: why learning distributed systems—even just a little—can set you apart as an engineer If you've ever stared at a Hugging Face training script and wondered how to run it on something more than your laptop: this one's for you.

In this soul-nourishing and deeply insightful episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller sits down with fat liberationist author and activist Amanda Martinez Beck to unpack what it really means to live with diabetes in a fat body—especially in a medical system steeped in anti-fat bias. Amanda shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes while navigating eating disorder recovery, medical gaslighting, and societal pressure around weight loss drugs like Ozempic. She reflects on how reclaiming the word “fat,” grounding her activism in faith and philosophy, and building fat community have supported her in choosing self-trust over shame. You'll hear about her healing journey, her shift from size dignity to fat liberation, and her vision of a world designed with fat people in mind. In this episode, we explore: Why diabetes stigma in fat bodies is so dangerous—and so common The liberating power of community with other fat people How Amanda's beliefs as a Christian and a philosopher shape her body politics Her experience with Ozempic, including what led her to stop taking it The emotional toll of medical fatphobia—and how she found a weight-inclusive doctor The birth of her substack series Nozempic Mondays, a haven for people resisting GLP-1 pressure If you've ever felt dismissed by providers, pressured to shrink your body for “health,” or like your needs in a fat body are invisible—this episode is for you. You are not alone. You deserve care that honors your whole self. CONTENT CAUTIONS: Discussion of weight loss, eating disorders, diabetes, Ozempic, and medical trauma. GUEST BIO: Amanda Martinez Beck is a fat author, disability advocate, and fat liberationist whose work centers on embodiment, faith, and justice. She writes The Fat Dispatch on Substack and is the author of Lovely: How I Learned to Embrace the Body God Gave Me and More of You: The Fat Girl's Field Guide to the Modern World. She also hosts Nozempic Mondays, a resource for people navigating GLP-1 medications in weight-stigmatizing environments.

Are You Trading Your Health for Your Hustle? I thought I had to grind nonstop to win, but what if taking care of yourself is actually the key to achieving more? In this conversation with Michelle Bang, we unpack why “self-care” isn't just a buzzword—it's a non-negotiable if you want to live well while you climb. Michelle's journey from landing in the emergency room at the height of her success to rediscovering ancient Korean wellness practices is a wake-up call for anyone who thinks they'll get around to health “later.” Michelle breaks down why something as simple as walking after dinner can transform your energy, why fermented foods like kimchi are more than trendy side dishes, and why traditional Korean bathhouses have been quietly reducing heart attacks for generations. We talk about healthspan—not just how long you live, but how well you live—and how embracing practices like daily movement, mindful nourishment, and building community can give you back the edge you need without burning out your body. She shares how she went from ignoring her gut health and running on fumes to reclaiming her vitality by reconnecting with the wisdom she grew up with in Korea and Hong Kong. It's a reminder that no level of achievement is worth trading your health for, and taking small, consistent steps now will let you actually enjoy the life you're building. I challenge you today: Audit your well-being while you're chasing your dreams. Could taking better care of yourself actually help you climb higher? You are the one person you're going to spend your entire life with—take care of you. Key Takeaways: Why self-care is essential, not optional, for high achievers. How daily walks can improve digestion, reduce glucose spikes, and enhance creativity. The gut-brain connection and why fermented foods matter. The impact of “healthspan” versus just living longer. How traditional Korean practices like “jjimjilbang” and the cultural value of “Jeong” can be applied to your life now. If this hits you where you're at right now, share this episode with someone who needs the reminder, and let's start taking care of the one person who's with us for life: ourselves.

Have you ever asked yourself: When was the last time I stepped outside my comfort zone? How do I make sure I'm intentionally setting a positive example for my kids? Am I encouraging my children to take extra steps? In an era dominated by online interactions and instant applications, it's easy to think that old-fashioned manners and direct communication have become obsolete. But as this episode of The Dad Edge reveals, those little “extra” steps are exactly what set people apart—in job interviews, difficult situations, and life in general Today, Ethan Hagner recounts his journey to land a summer job—not just sending in online applications, but suiting up, showing up in person, introducing himself, and even dropping off a thank-you note after a surprise interview.  As Larry points out, these simple, direct actions are the "gold" from previous generations—habits that build character and open doors Ethan Hagner also teases out how small acts of empathy and presence, learned in everyday family life, are already preparing him for bigger moments—like shadowing firefighters and helping his injured dad. The episode underscores the importance of empathy, remaining calm under pressure, and showing up wholeheartedly—in family crises, career moments, and daily interactions. As Larry puts it, “Control the controllables”—focus on what you can do, and do it with intention. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital episode, we dig into: Old-School Gold for the Next Generation: Larry reflects on the lost art of face-to-face interactions, handshakes, and eye contact, and how these “little” things are game-changers in both personal and professional life. Ethan chimes in with stories from his own journey, showing just how powerful simple, intentional actions can be. Handling Life's Dark and Difficult Moments: Ethan opens up about shadowing at the local fire department and preparing to face tough situations as a future firefighter. With honest talk about nervousness and empathy, the guys highlight how staying calm, focused, and supportive in chaos is a true superpower. Larry recounts a recent accident and how Ethan's steady approach driving him to the hospital—in the middle of nowhere, no cell signal, potholes galore—proved his grit and composure. Bringing Back Legendary Manners: There's a clear call to action here: Dads, let's teach (and model) the old-school habits that make a difference—shaking hands, making eye contact, showing up, following through, and, yes, even thank you notes. These are the moves that open doors and build relationships for life. This episode offers powerful stories, practical advice, and the reminder to always lead by example. Get ready for insights and encouragement to help you create the legacy you want for your family. www.thedadedge.com/mastermind www.1stphorm.com/products/1st-phorm-energy
