In episode 581 of Lawyerist Podcast, Zack Glaser talks with Drew Bloom of Affinity Consulting Group about how artificial intelligence is evolving from assistants into agents that can act on a lawyer's behalf. Instead of just suggesting edits or answers, agentic AI can redline contracts, search multiple documents, and connect across platforms to finish tasks before asking for approval. Drew explains what this shift means for law firms, what tools are likely to appear in the next 12–24 months, and why preparing your data—through structure, metadata, and integrations—matters more than ever. He also shares practical ways to start experimenting with AI connectors in tools you already use, so you're ready when agentic features become standard in everyday legal work.

When most people hear the word intimacy, the mind immediately jumps to sex, but intimacy is so much more layered than what happens in the bedroom. In this episode of PGC After Dark, we're slowing things down and peeling back those layers to talk about the intimacy that often gets overlooked: the quiet, vulnerable, soul-deep moments that truly connect us to another person.From emotional intimacy that comes with feeling seen and understood, to intellectual intimacy found in late-night conversations and shared curiosity, to spiritual intimacy rooted in prayer, rituals, or aligned beliefs..... we're exploring all the ways closeness can show up in our lives. We'll also talk about creative intimacy, everyday gestures that strengthen bonds, and how our upbringing and unhealed wounds can block us from fully leaning into those experiences.This isn't just about relationships, it's about friendships, community, and the way we show up with people we love. It's about breaking free from the idea that intimacy has to be physical and learning how to nurture connections that feed us on every level.So grab your glass, dim the lights, and join us for a conversation that's deeper, softer, and more vulnerable than the usual After Dark talk. It's about intimacy, but in ways that might surprise you.We're bringing the vibes, the bold convos, and the late-night realness—so don't be shy, come kick it with us!We wanna hear ALL your thoughts, wild takes, and juicy questions!

Music revenue diversification is essential for independent artists, but how do you actually monetize your community of superfans? This follow-up to episode 333's community-building strategies explores the practical side of turning deep fan relationships into sustainable income that goes beyond streaming pennies. Emerging direct-to-fan platforms like MySeat (highlighted by Dave Cool, formerly of Bandzoogle) allow artists to create branded mobile apps with multiple revenue streams - subscriptions, merchandise, live events, auctions, and exclusive content. Real case studies break down the revenue psychology of membership-based fan relationships and run realistic math on converting followers into paying subscribers. But this isn't just another "build it and they will come" episode. Kevin Kelly's sobering follow-up research to his famous "1000 True Fans" theory reveals uncomfortable truths, including ambient musician Robert Rich's brutally honest financial breakdown of three decades pursuing direct fan support. The reality check considers platform risks, time costs, creative constraints, and why most successful direct-to-fan artists still need traditional exposure first to build music revenue. Balancing optimism with realism, this episode explores genuine opportunities while setting appropriate expectations for what "success" in direct fan monetization actually looks like. Whether you're considering app platforms, subscription models, or other community revenue strategies, you'll discover how to approach these opportunities as part of a diversified career strategy rather than a complete solution. Recommended for independent artists looking to reduce streaming dependence while exploring new music revenue opportunities and understanding the real challenges of direct fan monetization. Key Topics: Direct-to-fan mobile app platforms and business models Revenue psychology: consumption vs. membership Real financial case studies and conversion math Platform ownership vs. algorithm dependence Kevin Kelly's "1000 True Fans" follow-up research Robert Rich's 30-year direct fan experience Implementation strategies and cautionary considerations Diversified income approaches for sustainable careers Support the Unstarving Musician The Unstarving Musician exists solely through the generosity of its listeners, readers, and viewers.

Marketing isn't a vending machine—and Kathleen Schaub wants leaders to stop treating it like one. In this episode of Tomorrow's Best Practices Today, host Clark Newby sits down with Kathleen Schaub, author of Marketing in the Great, Big, Messy, Real World, to unpack why deterministic thinking fails and what modern CMOs must do differently.Kathleen draws on decades of experience advising global marketing leaders and shares insights from her new book, including four key mindset shifts:- Budgeting like an investor rather than an accountant- Planning like a navigator who adapts to changing conditions- Deciding like a statistician who understands probabilities, not certainties- Leading like an ecologist who creates thriving team ecosystemsTogether, Clark and Kathleen explore why the obsession with ROI as a vending machine input-output model is misguided, how marketing metrics should spark dialogue—not dictate it—and why agility at the “edges” of the business is where real progress happens.Order Kathleen's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Marketing-Great-Messy-Real-World/dp/1632999862/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3BSH939U2QNL1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.QsAFE2-s7Vf4DwX3HtjKPD-5jwgkt-_m9H2efEkaqOg.YKXKMuYL6Vc-3NhSIB4d2LGEsMAmQYvPF6gzhQfuY5U&dib_tag=se&keywords=marketing+in+the+great%2C+big%2C+messy+real+world&qid=1756933798&sprefix=marketing+in+the+great+messy+%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-1-----CONNECT with us at:Website: https://leadtail.com/Leadtail TV: https://www.leadtailtv.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lead...Twitter: https://twitter.com/leadtailFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Leadtail/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtail/----0:00 – Introduction and Guest Overview1:19 – Why Marketing Is Not a Vending Machine2:24 – Complexity and the VUCA World of Marketing3:16 – Moving Beyond Deterministic Models5:00 – Four Mindset Shifts for Marketing Leaders6:29 – Budgeting Like an Investor6:41 – Planning and Measurement: Think Like a Navigator7:47 – Decision-Making: Think Like a Statistician9:12 – People and Ecosystems: Leading Like an Ecologist17:01 – Rethinking Metrics and Board-Level Conversations22:10 – Overcoming Resistance and Gaining Executive Buy-In26:18 – The Role of Data, Analytics, and AI in Complex Systems29:26 – Structuring Teams for Agility and Integration33:01 – Kathleen's Personal Reading List35:15 – Closing Thoughts and Book Information#b2bmarketing #b2b

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)The weight of an unspoken "I'm sorry" can anchor someone in pain long after a marriage ends. This powerful episode explores why apologies matter so deeply in divorce, and more importantly, how to move forward when they never arrive.Divorce isn't just legal paperwork—it's an emotional rupture filled with pain and broken trust. An apology validates that pain, creating transformative moments where years of resentment can soften in an instant. When one person offers even partial acknowledgment, the atmosphere shifts; shoulders relax, breathing deepens, and suddenly impossible issues become negotiable. But what happens when that apology never comes?Many clients believe they can't heal until their ex admits wrongdoing, effectively tying their recovery to something outside their control. This mindset becomes a prison of anger and resentment. Drawing from John and Julie Gottman's groundbreaking research on relationship repair, we share practical strategies for finding closure without external validation: self-validation exercises, perspective reframing, symbolic rituals, and focusing on future goals rather than past wounds. We explore how unacknowledged emotional needs often sabotage negotiations, causing clients to dig in on assets or schedules when what they're really seeking is recognition of their pain.The journey toward healing without apology requires understanding that lack of apology often reflects the other person's limitations, not your worth. With guided self-discovery, you can separate emotional closure from practical outcomes, allowing you to negotiate effectively and, most importantly, free yourself from carrying resentment that only weighs you down. Listen now to discover how to carry your own key to healing rather than waiting at a door that may never open.

What happens when you throw out rigid timelines and arbitrary benchmarks, allowing children to learn at their own pace in ways that honor their unique personalities? Kristi's 11-year homeschooling journey with her three daughters reveals the transformative power of personalized education.When her introverted third-grader with learning difficulties asked to homeschool, Kristi—despite having no prior knowledge of homeschooling—took the leap. Within two years, she brought all three daughters home, discovering that the full benefits came when the entire family shared the same educational approach. This shift opened extraordinary possibilities: four-day school weeks, regular RV camping trips, skiing adventures that started on Thursdays, and meaningful participation in the family's citrus farm.Most remarkably, Kristi's approach to her oldest daughter's learning challenges demonstrates the power of patience and personalization. Working "one to two years behind typical grade level for a very long time" and even repeating ninth grade at the student's request, this daughter eventually caught up naturally. By age 15-16, professional assessments showed she qualified for no learning disorders whatsoever. Today, she attends Concordia University with a substantial academic scholarship.Interest-led learning transformed their homeschool experience. When a child loved horses, they studied equine science for a year. When another was fascinated by birds, they created habitats around their home that now attract unique species their neighbors don't have. Their youngest daughter's inexplicable passion for the Beatles as a preschooler evolved into studying 60s history in ninth grade. As Kristi explains, "I think you get some passionate, extraordinary individuals by really customizing and letting them be interest-led in everything they do."Considering homeschooling? Kristi's advice is refreshingly simple: "Homeschool should and can look different in every single household." You can always return to conventional schooling if needed—they'll take you back.Kristi's Instagram'Homeschooled' the movie: WHERE TO WATCH: https://homeschooledthemovie.com/where-to-watchCurriculum discussed: Teaching Textbooks, Moving Beyond the Page, Apologia, IEW, Amal Unbound, Rutus Apetis, Alan Gratz, Under the Painted SkyCheryl's Guide to Homeschooling: Check out The Homeschool How To Complete Starter Guide- Cheryl's eBook compiling everything she's learned from her interviews on The Homeschool How To Podcast.

But what happens when the screen refreshes at the end of the month and the profits aren't there? In this Coach's Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy dig into the difference between chasing sales volume (the empty calories of your business) and building around high-quality, profitable ASINs (the meaty beasts that actually feed you long-term).

I've been so looking forward to sharing this conversation as it is an area that I am particularly passionate about. I feel very strongly that the way we think and talk about learning, teaching and education is so rooted in Behaviorism and Cognitivism and the dominant language of training and metaphors of the brain as a computer. And there is a still a widespread lack of awareness of the emerging insights of cognitive science - often called 4E cognitive science, referring to embodied, embedded, extended and enactive cognition. This is the idea that our understanding, thinking and learning in the world happen in our relationships with each other, our environments, the tools we use, and our bodies, not just as abstract representations in our brains.And there is no-one better to be talking about this with than Andrea Hiott who among other fantastic work, is the host of the Love and Philosophy channel and substack.All of her life, Andrea says, she has been motivated towards the same goal: "Finding ways for us to move beyond either/or mindsets, and to explore our multiplicity."Andrea is a philosopher, cognitive scientist and writer and is currently a researcher at numerous universities, she is also the author of various books, including Thinking Small and her latest book ‘Holding Paradox: the navigational approach to mind and consciousness' is out in 2026.Andrea's website: https://www.andreahiott.net/Andrea's Love and Philosophy channel: https://lovephilosophy.substack.com/Andrea's community philosophy Substack called Waymaking: https://communityphilosophy.substack.com/Just released: Andrea's latest paper on 'Radical Embodied Relation at any Scale, from Remembering to Navigating' - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11245-025-10256-7Useful paper on 'What is 4E Cognitive Science?' by Cameron Alexander: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11097-025-10055-w
a moving conversation with Jeff and Cyd Holsclaw as they reveal their deeply personal journey through early trauma, spiritual struggle, and how science and faith together offer a pathway to healing and wholeness. Discover how attachment shapes our spiritual lives and why feeling stuck is not the end, but the beginning of a more POWERFUL walk with God. The Holsclaws share their trauma stories—including childhood loss and relational deficits—and vulnerably walk through the process of becoming “unstuck” in faith. **Three key things viewers will learn:** - How attachment science and faith intersect to heal old wounds and empower present joy - Why “confident faith” does not mean absence of fear, but learning to rest in God's delight even in the midst of brokenness - Practical tools to shift from survival strategies to secure spiritual connection with Jesus A profound emotional breakthrough comes when Cyd describes encountering Jesus not as a harsh judge but as an endlessly compassionate companion, meeting her in messiness with understanding and no shame. **Watch because:** This episode answers the heart's lingering “Am I seen and safe?” and gives hope to anyone longing to move from stuck survival to joyful, POWERFUL living in Christ. #ConfidentFaith #Healing #Hope #Attachment #PowerfulOn YouTube Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share for more Christ-centered conversations.

When we look to the future of the electric utility industry, what do we see? Better data. More efficiencies. Smarter grids. Simpler asset management. At least—that's what we're all hoping for. To make it happen? It's all about location, location, location. And that's where GIS comes in: Moving into the future of power, GIS will be instrumental in challenging the status quo, improving utilities' understanding of where things are (from outages to assets to customers), leveling up what regulatory compliance really means, and breaking down siloes across the power org. Today on our finale of The GISt, we hear from Dr. Comfort Manyame, director of geospatial R&D at EMPACT Engineering and an expert in GIS for nearly 30 years. Dr. Manyame covers it all, from the intersection of GIS and AI to the skillset of the next generation of remarkable power professionals. Accessible GIS is the key to bringing this industry into its next era. Today, we're talking about how that happens, who stands to benefit the most, and where we're headed next.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe shows us how to move beyond failure. No one wants to talk about their failures … in fact we'd rather ignore them, wouldn't we? And when we experience a setback, we tend to go back to the place where we had success … before the most recent failure. That's what the apostle Peter did. One minute he's a devoted disciple … and the next he's back to fishing and living a normal life. But how should we respond to failure and disqualification? That’s the topic of today’s message, which comes from our series on Breaking Free.

The nature of Security Operations is changing. As cloud environments grow in complexity and data volumes explode, traditional approaches to detection and response are proving insufficient. This episode features an in-depth conversation with Kyle Polley, who leads the AI security team at Perplexity, about a modern blueprint for the Security Operations Center (SOC).The discussion centers on a necessary architectural shift away from traditional SIEMs, which were not built for today's scale, toward a "data lake infrastructure built for detection and response". Kyle explains how this model provides the scalability needed to handle modern data loads and enables a more effective incident response process.A cornerstone of this new model is the use of centralized AI agents. The conversation explores how these agents can be tasked with performing in-depth alert investigations, helping to reduce analyst burnout and allowing security teams to focus on more proactive, high-impact work. This approach moves beyond simple automation to create a system where AI augments and enhances the capabilities of the human team.Guest Socials - Kyle's Linkedin Podcast Twitter - @CloudSecPod If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube- Cloud Security Newsletter - Cloud Security BootCampIf you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast - AI Cybersecurity PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction to Kyle Polley & The Future of SOCs(01:03) The Core Argument: Why You Must Build Your SOC Before Compliance(03:34) Beyond the Certificate: The Difference Between Being Compliant vs. Secure(04:20) Today's #1 AI Threat: The Challenge of Prompt Injection(06:00) The Architectural Flaw: Handling Untrusted Data in AI Systems(08:20) The "Security Data Lake": Moving Beyond the Traditional SIEM(15:00) The Future is Now: A Centralized AI Agent for Automated Investigations(20:06) Will AI Take My Job?

By Adam Turteltaub It's time to think bigger when it comes to helpline data. Yes, it's still important to look at traditional metrics such as the number of calls and the substantiation rate. But, there is so much more that can be done. Justin Ross, Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer at Sysco and Carrie Penman, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at NAVEX will be addressing what you can do with your helpline data during their 2025 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute session “Numbers That Matter: Moving Beyond Hotline Data to Identify and Build an Ethical Workplace.” For one, they encourage compliance officers to think about whom they are sharing the data with. What the board, management and others will want to see is likely to be different. As a result, it's important to tailor your reporting accordingly. Second, they argue in this podcast that it's important to not just look at the data reactively. Instead, think proactively and use it as a way to identify where there are issues to be addressed, either now or potentially in the future. The data can also provide a window into the culture of the organization as a whole, as well as the differences by region or even office. This approach can help you better understand your risks and where you need to address potential problems. Some of the data they suggest using is: Outcomes of allegations: are they leading to discipline and is it consistent Retaliation issues Substantiation rates Patterns of employee vs. non-employee reports Number of days between allegation and conclusion of investigation Number of days between incident and helpline call Be sure, too, to look at the helpline data in concert with other data your organization has such as employee turnover, exit interviews, culture surveys, audit results and more. In sum, to get the most out of your helpline data, think about all the data that you have, what it can tell about the past and present, how it can guide the future and what's the best way to share it with each of your audiences. Listen in to learn more, and plan on joining them for the 2025 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute.

Have you ever felt confused or overwhelmed trying to make sense of the Bible, as if you walked into a movie halfway through and missed the bigger picture? In this episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders shares the eye-opening story of his personal journey to understand the Bible as a cohesive narrative, not just a collection of isolated verses. Discover why the chapters aren't in chronological order, the pitfalls of pulling scripture out of context, and how seeing the Bible as a story can shift your entire perspective. If you're ready to rethink how you read the Bible and want practical insight into making it all make sense, this episode is for you."Taking personal responsibility for getting to know and understand the Bible yourself is crucial—don't just take someone else's word for it." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons to Listen: Discover the Story Behind the Bible - Learn why reading the Bible as a story—with a beginning, middle, and end—can totally change your understanding, especially since most of us have been taught to read it out of order.Challenge Your Preconceptions - Hear why unlearning old beliefs, questioning popular interpretations, and digging into the context for yourself might lead to “aha” moments you never expected.Unlock Hidden Context & Clarity - Find out how reading the Bible chronologically and understanding the original audience and timelines can help clear up confusion and contradictions that many struggle with.Key Lessons:The Bible Is a Story, Not Just a Collection of Quotes or Rules - Many people approach the Bible as a manual or a series of isolated verses, but understanding it as a continuous, interconnected story with a beginning, middle, and end gives everything deeper meaning and context.Context and Chronological Order Matter - The books and chapters of the Bible aren't arranged in the order the events actually happened, which can cause confusion. Reading the Bible chronologically—especially the Old Testament—helps the bigger story fall into place and prevents misinterpretation.Personal Responsibility in Understanding - It's easy to rely on pastors, preachers, or tradition to explain scripture, but it's our responsibility to study and wrestle with the Bible ourselves. Taking the time for personal study and reflection, even alone, is crucial for genuine understanding.Misusing Scripture Leads to Confusion and Contradiction - Pulling verses out of context or order can cause us to twist their meaning and fuel confusion or even division. When we read the Bible as a narrative and understand its historical and cultural backdrop, seeming contradictions usually disappear.The Central Theme: God's Kingdom and Restoration - Rather than focusing solely on “getting to heaven,” the overarching theme of the Bible is about God establishing, losing, and restoring His kingdom—bringing humanity back into relationship with Him.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction: Understanding the Bible as a Story00:33 Personal Journey: Unlearning and Relearning02:28 The Matrix Analogy: Seeing Beyond the Surface03:44 The Bible as a Chronological Story06:02 The Importance of Personal Study08:43 Challenges of Reading the Bible Out of Order21:41 The Kingdom of God: Central Theme of the Bible29:27 Conclusion: Embracing the StoryResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:

“You don’t let other people tell you what beautiful is.”In this heartfelt episode of the Happy Families Podcast, Justin and Kylie Coulson reflect on the powerful lessons from Parental Guidance Season 3, Episode 3, exploring body image, self-worth, and how parents can shape their children’s relationship with their bodies—for better or worse. With vulnerable personal stories and actionable advice, they discuss how to shift the focus from looks to function, joy, and character. KEY POINTS: Parents’ comments and attitudes about bodies deeply influence their children’s self-image. Many women carry lasting scars from childhood comments about their weight or looks. Society promotes a narrow and unhealthy definition of “beautiful.” Teach children to focus on what their bodies can do, not just how they look. Affirm children’s inner qualities and character as “beautiful” rather than only appearance. Complimenting children should be consistent and not dependent on clothing, makeup, or occasions. Body image distortion is common and can start young; words and modelling matter. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "When discussing body image, we need to move away from beauty. Instead, emphasise functionality, emphasise finding joy, and focus on what you can do, not what you look like. More than anything, remember that beauty is best defined by who you are and not how you look." — Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: Miss-connection: Why Your Teenage Daughter Hates You, Expects the World, and Needs to Talk by Justin Coulson Karen Young & Hey Sigmund — resources supporting children’s mental health and self-worth Parental Guidance Season 3 ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Reflect on your own language and attitudes about bodies—what messages are you passing on? Focus compliments on your child’s inner qualities and abilities, not just their looks. Emphasise the functionality and strength of your child’s body (“Look how strong your legs are!”) rather than its appearance. Avoid shaming or criticising children’s food choices or weight. Let your child know they are always beautiful to you, regardless of what they’re wearing or how they look. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, Tim chats with psychologist and theologian Richard Beck about his book The Shape of Joy, which explores the idea that much of modern misery stems from a life turned inward—and that joy comes when we shift our attention beyond ourselves. Drawing on ancient theology, modern psychology, and lived experience, Richard challenges the dominance of a belief-centric, self-focused faith and invites us into a more outward-facing spirituality. He unpacks the difference between therapeutic introspection and the kind of excessive rumination that often leaves us stuck, and offers a vision of spiritual practices that open us to the world, to others, and to the divine. After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim and Anna reflect on how Richard's insights resonate with their own journeys—particularly their experiences of rumination, mental health, the role of spiritual practices, and the inward/outward tension in modern life.
