    I just got back from five weeks in Europe with my parents, and I want to take you behind the scenes.  My parents are in their 80s. My dad has been through two bouts of stage four cancer and is in remission. My mom, knock on wood, is healthy. How long will that last? How much longer can I see the world with them? This trip happened in the shadow of losing Huxley, my soul dog, which meant I went into it already cracked open, already thinking about mortality and time and what we do with the moments we have. And it turned out to be one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. We started in Warsaw, flew to Madrid, drove through Costa Brava and the French Riviera and the Italian Riviera in an SUV packed with carry-on luggage only, watched Spain win the World Cup in a medieval town on the Catalan coast, swam in alpine lakes in Slovenia, and ended back in Warsaw where my dad told me stories I'd never heard and my mom said it was all a fairy tale. This episode is more than just a travel diary. It's about ancestry, about what we inherit from the people who came before us, about why now is the time to go do the things you've always wanted to do, and about what grief and presence and awe have been teaching me this year.   IN THIS EPISODE:  How losing Huxley made me show up completely different this summer  The hidden gem coastlines of Costa Brava and the Italian Riviera that barely any Americans know about What it was like to watch Spain's World Cup Victory from the streets of a medieval Catalan town The celebrity sighting we had in a sleepy Spanish fishing village while leaving our phones behind for an evening swim What my parents said at the end of the trip that made every exhausting, hot, logistically complicated moment completely worth it Living in the same Warsaw apartment building where my great-grandparents lived until 1970 The stories my parents told me about their lives and upbringings Why being in Warsaw every year makes me feel the thin veil between the life I have and the parallel one I could have had How this trip fed directly into the second book I'm writing, Emboldened   Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free. Get on the Euphoric newsletter.

    Since the advent of computers, society has fantasized about conversing with machines. In Divination Engines: Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, and the Making of Algorithmic Culture (University of Chicago Press, 2026), Dr. Xiaochang Li shows readers how that dream both fueled the demand for data and set the stage for today's generative AI.  With original research and clear explanations, Dr. Li elucidates the origins of what's known as natural language processing (NLP) and the heated twentieth-century debates between computer scientists, linguists, and communication engineers that shaped today's technology. Starting with early devices that recorded, analyzed, and attempted to interpret human speech, she demonstrates how computer speech recognition, particularly efforts led by Bell Labs and IBM, advanced technology by deemphasizing linguistic meaning in favor of statistical prediction. In other words, researchers gradually abandoned systems that sought to understand human language, opting instead for work-arounds that simply predicted patterns in speech and text data. That solution became incredibly and surprisingly adaptable. As Dr. Li reveals, transforming linguistic questions into engineering ones ushered in the routine operation of search engines, spam filters, and the varied content sorting and recommendation mechanisms that regulate the access, circulation, and legitimacy of information across every platform. But this has all come at the cost of forever requiring copious and ever-growing amounts of new data. At its core, Divination Engines illuminates how the artifacts of human communication—speech, text, and images—have become both the fodder for and products of computers. This connection between communication and computation, Li shows, has given rise to data-driven analytics, machine learning, and today's algorithmic culture. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights. This is the age of AI, where there is more information than ever, more data than ever, more everything than ever before. And yet behind the scenes, when we were prepping for this episode today, Katie, I said, hey, what would you like to talk about today? And your response was, I have no idea. Let me ask you a couple of different questions. One, is it that the material recovering feels like it’s been done before, or is it also that there’s just so much to choose from that you end up with what Barry Schwartz calls the paralysis of choice? Katie Robbert: Yes. So let me pull those apart. So much is changing in the field of AI and where we focus down in on with analytics, marketing, operations, and helping businesses. We do such a good job of thoroughly exploring topics, and the process that we have for creating content is so efficient that we can churn out a lot of it very quickly. So I feel like personally, the things that we would cover that are relevant to our business and relevant to our audience now there’s always another stone to turn over. But then you start getting really deep into the weeds. And where I wrestle is do you start alienating parts of your audience to really focus on those very specific niche pieces? To the other part of the question? Yes, I do feel like there’s so much information. Again, this is sort of the side effect of generative AI that you sort of become numb and blind to all of the information because there’s so much. I remember when we worked at the agency and you used to produce this report, I think it was yearly, on the number of pieces of content created. And you know, this was prior to generative AI, this was just the number would go up exponentially year over year. And you know, I can’t even imagine what that number would be now. And just sort of seeing the uptick. And so I don’t, I feel like I’m deep in the weeds of stuff that I’m working on day to day in the business. Part of it is I’m like, I don’t know if anybody would even care to hear about this, if it even resonates or if it makes sense or if we’re supposed to be doing that big thinking and like introducing new concepts and you know, doing the thought leadership of what’s happening with AI and analytics. Here’s the thing about analytics. There’s only so many ways. There’s a lot of ways to analyze data, but there’s only so many ways to analyze data. And so I feel like at this point, unless a brand new analysis methodology is invented, which I could happen, but I feel like we’re pretty good, we’re solid, you know, it’s not worth talking about again. But I could be wrong. I could just be having a very blah Monday morning where I’m like very feeling very existential of like, what’s the point of any of it? Christopher S. Penn: Which, given the macro picture, which is a totally separate podcast, is true. In the catalog of analytics that we use, that I use, there’s about 1400 techniques that span 22 disciplines, everything from weather forecasting to agronomy and agriculture and stuff like that. And one of the things that I was talking about this weekend in my own personal newsletter was how limited marketers are in their choice of analytics when you use AI, because AI naturally gravitates to what we’ve already written about. So we’ll talk about attribution analysis, we’ll talk about social media marketing, we’ll talk about impressions. Our advisor, Ginny Dietrich’s most hated measurement of all ad value equivalents. And these are all associated statistically, probabilistically in these AI tools with marketing analytics. So if you say, hey ChatGPT, I need some marketing analytics help with this, you know, Google Analytics data source, it will give you the most probable things which will be old hat. Like, it will be like, oh, have you tried doing, you know, basic trend analysis? Like, yes. Have you tried doing time series analysis? Yes. Right. And that is a blind spot that AI can never overcome because of its nature as a probability based tool. You, the human, have to have the largeness of vision and the vocabulary to say, hey, you know, chat GPT or co pilot or whatever. I’ve got this issue here and I’m having trouble understanding what’s driving the set of changes. What analytics techniques from agriculture and agronomy might be a good fit for this data and suddenly be like, I know all about agronomy, which it does. And have you tried pairwise combination holdout? And you’re like, what is even? I don’t even know what those words mean. Katie Robbert: Nope. And I hear what you’re saying and I feel like we’ve talked about versions of this where in order to get the most out of the tools you have, you really have to be curious and thinking outside of the box and that’s something, Chris, that you do very well. That’s one of your strongest professional attributes is you say, where can I look outside of this lens and see like and pull out like agriculture. So I don’t think that’s the default thinking for most. Take marketing out of it. For most people, it’s like I’m looking at a problem. I’m trying to figure out why my bread dough isn’t rising. Let me look at the fashion industry and see what I can learn from that. About, like, it doesn’t make sense because it feels like putting square pegs in round holes and I don’t know, maybe that’s sort of where I’m stuck, is maybe I’m not someone who’s good at looking outside of. Like, I’m a very rules and process oriented person. I like things to be predictable. So perhaps for me, that’s where I struggle with this concept of I’m trying to analyze my marketing data. How does agriculture do it? Like that to me is just like, why would I ever do that? That seems ridiculous to me. That’s not how this rule works. And so that’s definitely not one of my strengths. Which again is why you and I are very complimentary in our strengths and weaknesses. And you know, I just went. When we come back to the purpose of today’s podcast, I feel like, you know, maybe that’s where thinking about topics to talk about is where I’m struggling because I feel like I’m a fairly creative person. But I also, I remember I started taking art classes in first grade and went all the way through 10th grade of high school. And I, my skill set really didn’t progress. It really wasn’t something that, like, it was something I wanted to be good at. But I just, I’m not an overly creative person. I’m creative when it comes to problem solving. But I feel like I also have a really Good toolbox. But if you start to say, okay, your toolbox is now going to contain these things that belong in, you know, biochemistry and welding, those are not industries I know a lot about. I’m like, nope, I don’t want that in my toolbox because I can’t, I don’t understand it. I don’t get it. I don’t know. There’s a lot of like therapy for me this morning. Christopher S. Penn: Well, what you’re describing is the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning. So as a rules based person, you would be a deductive reasoning person. You have a set of rules and principles and concepts in a domain that you break down to specific conclusions. If we think about the 5P framework by Trust Insights is exactly that. Five different areas, purpose, people, process, platform, performance that have governing principles for each of these. And you could take that general thing and distill it down for any problem that you run into, right? And say, okay, how can I make this. We’ve you’ve talked about even making it a prompt framework for AI because it’s so good at it. The opposite is called inductive reasoning where you say, I got a bunch of stuff, it’s all very confusing, it’s all not related. What is in common? And so for example, if you look at agronomy and weather forecasting and econometrics and marketing, what is the through line, the weird thread that goes through all of them for marketing analytics, and that is math, right? The mathematical techniques that each discipline has to use that are different from discipline to get to the answers. And so inductive reasoning says, can we find those threads from these crazily not related fields, hold on those threads and turn them into something like, oh, we can use this in marketing. We have data that resembles this. How do we adapt it? And so that’s the difference. And so when we look at like content creation, saying what are we going to talk about today? If we start from that deductive reasoning perspective of, well, we’ve done AI 18 ways to Sunday. We’ve done prompting, you know, 22 ways to Sunday. Well, they’re left to do that is a deductive perspective. And there’s, that is a great way to do it because you cover everything. The inductive way is okay, say okay, this is what you flip to when you’re like, we’ve done it all, what’s left? Okay, now you flip to inductive reasoning. Say what about this weird edge case over here? Let’s pull that apart and see where it leads. Katie Robbert: Well, I mean, and this aligns with what we always joke about, that you know, what will be written on your tombstone is what does this button do? You know, and there’s a part of me that wishes I was a little bit more open, more curious, you know, I feel like I am, but at the same time, not nearly as much as I could be in terms of, you know, in this context of like breaking out of what I know. And so what kinds of advice would you give to someone like me who, to your point, like, if I do the deductive reasoning and I cover all the different known angles, you know, and I think about things from a risk averse lens, what advice would you give to someone like me to then find ways to turn on some of that inductive reasoning when I need it? Christopher S. Penn: You can generally teach inductive reasoning in a couple ways. The one of the things, and this is very important, what you just said, you said from that risk averse lens, that’s the first switch that has to flip is to say, okay, you can do exploration if you can cycle, give yourself a sense of psychological safety that you’re not taking a risk. Like going out and reading random stuff on Reddit and things or people you don’t Normally follow on LinkedIn is not a risk. It can feel like a risk because it can feel like distraction, it can feel like confusion, but it’s not a risk. And so, one of the things you have to find for yourself, I don’t know how to do it, is to say, okay, let’s create a sense of psychological safety that says it’s okay to go look under this, under the stone. You may not like what’s under there, but it’s not dangerous to you. And the second thing is those fringe edge cases where, and this is where, like, LinkedIn is a terrible place to spend time because everyone is stuck in the same bucket, right? We’re all talking about, oh, AI is going to do this. Sam Altman did this. And it’s the same theme over and over again. You have to leave that and go to the fringes, go other places. Reddit is a good place because there’s, it’s a different set of fringes. Talking to our friends and colleagues, right? Chatting with them in group texts and stuff is a great place to do that, where you start to hear very specific edge cases. You’re like, oh, we’ve never run into that before one of the things. So it was really interesting. I did a drawing for my newsletter for filling out a survey back in July. And the giveaway was a one hour. Ask me anything private. And the conversation I had with the person was an industry that we don’t work in at all, like heavy industrial marine stuff. And just. And I learned as much as I talked, like, oh, I didn’t know that was a thing. And those, all those weird little edge cases was like, that’s interesting. And so that might be a possible antidote too, is to say, like, you know what spend. Say, I’m going to spend an hour talking to this person over here. I. Who we’re probably not going to do business with them. We’re pro. I’m. I’m not there to drum up business. I’m there to say, what kind of weird stuff are you running into that maybe wouldn’t cross my desk. Katie Robbert: H. I hear you. I think, you know, I like the idea of, you know, doing more reading outside of what you’d normally read. I agree that LinkedIn is very homogenous, very bland. The challenge. And, you know, this could be again, my own personal bias and my, you know, I like the term that emotional safety. Because if I’m being honest, that’s a big part of it is it’s not that I don’t feel safe talking about things outside of what we’ve talked about. And perhaps this, you know, this is all just sort of like a, you know, a horse of a different color is that I get concerned that if we stray too far from what our audience wants to hear about, they won’t come back. And that’s, you know, that could be my own personal concern and anxiety about it. And maybe they’re like, no, give me something different. You know, there’s really only one way to find out and that’s to ask them. So if you want to pop over to our free Slack community analytics marketers and let us know. But to your point, you really. What I’m hearing you say is it’s breaking outside of those comfort zones, those routines, which admittedly is not something I am personally great at. I’m very introverted. But reading outside of what I normally read and interacting with people online is not so uncomfortable that I can’t do it. I just need to make more of an effort to do it because then it’s, you know, it’s making sure that we’re staying in touch with things outside of our own little bubble. It’s a big reason why we have the community that we have. So know a little bit of tongue in cheek like join our free Slack community but at the same time join our free Slack community because we need it just as much as the people who are joining need it. So that we’re not just locked into well this is what we’re doing. This is how we’ve always done it. So this is how it shall be. End of sentence. Like I think that by asking the question of the day it that’s partly to understand like what’s going on in your world, what are you dealing with, what are you, what’s your perspective? And I’m always not. A question goes by and we ask them every single day that I’m not like huh, that’s interesting or I never would have thought of it that way. And I think that’s such an important thing. But I never thought of that in this context. Chris of that inductive reasoning of trying to find that sort of like through line through different topics. Christopher S. Penn: I will show, I will share with you an interesting observation about our analytics from Market Slack group. There’s a, there’s a topical split by gender. When you look at the questions people ask, even that itself is interesting. You know the, the people who are male identifying tend to be asking very technical questions. Hey, I’m doing this with this agent framework and you know, what’s the best? And the people who identify as female typically asking about outcome based things like you know, what’s better for getting this done. I need to get, accomplish these things. And so one of the things because obviously, you know, equality in general is important to us, but gender equality is very important to us as a company. You might want us to do privately, quietly reach out to some of the individual women in our community to say like hey, I’d love to have a one hour private, ask many things, I just want to know what’s going on. Talk to the folks who are already reasonably talkative in the community and just see what’s happening at the edge cases of their Worlds. You have Dr. Leslie who spends a lot of time on psychology and research. You have Hannah, you have Minion who spends a lot of time on writing in AI. And that’s where you can be reasonably assured of a psychologically safe experience and still get some really cool edge cases. Katie Robbert: Yeah, I think if I’m being honest, I would probably start with Reddit forums or something like that just because that’s for me the path of least resistance and doesn’t take extra coordination and time to figure out how to, you know, book this conversation with someone. But again, that’s all, you know, minor details, but. In general, you know, so let’s say every week we sit down to record the podcast. And every week I know you’re going to ask me, hey, what do you want to talk about this week? I mean, that’s just how it goes, you know. And I appreciate that you give me the opportunity to propose a topic versus it just being, you know, led by whatever you’re reading that week, which often happens because I’m like, whatever, sometimes I have a topic. You know, tell me a little bit about your process for like you mentioned agriculture and some other industry that I’ve never heard of. And I’m guessing I haven’t had a chance to read your newsletter yet for full disclosure. No, I mean, and I do. It’s on my list for later today. Is it more that like you look at like a list of something, you go, I don’t know about that. That’s interesting. Let me learn more. Or is like does it sort of organically just come up because you’re like searching for something and it just sort of leads you down a rabbit hole? Like what does your process kind of look like? Christopher S. Penn: It’s both. It is both. This past week though was on idea transfer. So I ha. I shared some prompts, some basic prompts to look at four level naics codes which are like profession codes, oil and gas extraction for example. And I said to the soft to I was using deep seek for this. Go and find the professional academic conferences for each of these professions out of the 340 professions and then find the award winning papers from 2025 and 2026 for each conference if they had one, and end up with like 300 some odd papers that all won gold medals at their events. And so download those papers and then start extracting out what are the key lessons that we could transfer into marketing and marketing analytics, especially from these award winning papers. And some of them there wasn’t, you know, some of them it was like a position paper. But there were a lot of very technical research studies like oh, that’s really cool. Like how the European. I forget what the organization name is, but it’s the European Council of Weather Forecasting and their new neural ensembling system for better weather forecasts. I’m like, that’s clever. Instead of trying to fit a neural model on an overall forecast to fitting neural models on individual components of forecast because they can forecast better those specific components and then glue the forecast together instead of trying to ensemble the whole thing. It’s like, you know, instead of trying to. People screw this up a lot. Westerners tend to try and make fried rice all in one big wok and your home stove can’t get that hot. So you cook each set of ingredients individually and then you mix it all together. That’s this, essentially this version of ensembling. Don’t try to make fried rice all at once. Make each of the components, get them each right individually and then you can just literally mix it all together. Katie Robbert: Well, at least I know I’m making fried rice correctly. Thank goodness for that. I’m taking the win today. But that’s an example. So the topic was how would you make it a. A fully AI written newsletter with no human intervention whatsoever that would still be valuable. And so I had it to a test run and the example was that pairwise combinations for agriculture. I read the newsletter of IT generator. Like crap. This is a really good idea. Like I gotta go figure out how to do this. I was reading the results as I was recording my, the newsletter on video. I’m like, this is really smart. Like it should be. It won an award. But like I can totally see how this applies specifically to social media marketing. Christopher S. Penn: Interesting. Which comes back to you have to have expertise in something in order to be able to, you know, apply it. So you know, I know what I know about running a business. I know what I know about operations and process and all that. So it’d be interesting to see what I can find outside of the lanes that I know, you know, because it tends to feel like, well, process is process. There’s only one way to do process. And I’m assuming that’s just not true. And so I need to look at what that could mean. I have no idea. And I think this is where my risk averse brain starts to kick in. I’m like, well if you have no idea where you’re going, you don’t have the time to waste to just sort of start exploring. You have other things that you have to do to keep the business running. And I think that’s just sort of a time and resources but also a mind shift thing. Because yeah, I have to keep the business running. Do I have the luxury of time to just sort of do some exploration? I don’t know. I’m hoping to find some because I feel like that would make me a better leader if I could. Katie Robbert: And you’re like, yeah, you could be A better leader. Way to go. Christopher S. Penn: Everybody has the opportunity to better. You could, if you wanted to and you didn’t want to spend a ton of time on it directly, you could purchase. Well, you know, you don’t have to purchase it, but yeah, the new deep research suite from the Trust Insights Academy, which helps automate a lot of the research process. And where I would suggest that you start is in the epidemiology around opiates and stuff like that. Because you used to work in that field. You know it like the back of hand. But it’s been 20 years. Yeah. What’s, what’s happened? What papers have come out in that field in the last even five years that, where the math has changed, where AI has changed that field. And you can go, oh, I know how we used to do it and I know how AI does it now based on these award winning papers. Holy crap, things are different. And I can take this, what I know from back then and what is steady state now, current state now, and go. I can apply that learning of how AI has changed that field to what, running our business. Katie Robbert: Yeah, that’s interesting. That actually already gives me a couple of places to start because I think about a few of the clinical trials that were running and they were so manual because it just was, it was just manual. That’s how it was 20 years ago. And so like hand coding things and human raiders and all of that, which at the time was fine. We didn’t know any different because there wasn’t anything different. This morning we had a lead file of 150 leads that needed augmentation and I had an AI go in and label it all and it took under 20 minutes. And I ran it locally. It didn’t have to use the cloud at all for it. And so that’s today. Yeah. It reminds me of when I was trying to do lead gen for the sales team at that same organization and I stumbled across a publicly available database of substance abuse clinicians and it needed cleaning up and it needed like all this stuff and it was just a manual process and it took me a couple of weeks to do it before I could even hand it off to the sales team. And then those ungrateful jerks were like, what do you mean there’s not an email address? And I was like, you got a phone number? Pick up the phone. What do you want from me? But anyway, yeah, it is definitely interesting. So I think I don’t do that often enough. I really try to stay grounded in like what’s right in front of me. And I think that maybe looking in the past of like what I had done, what I have accomplished might help at least get some of this started. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. There’s a lot of. There’s a lot that’s changed. But you having that previous subject matter of expertise means that it will be easier to dip your toes in that specific angle on that discipline rather than going to like agronomy where you’re like, I don’t even know what any of these words mean because like what is this? This yield, you know, yield per field thing.

    You're Not Who You Think You Are Who the f*ck am I? That was the question that dropped into my head while I was sitting with my puzzle book. And what started as a bit of quiet thinking took me somewhere I didn't expect. We often confuse who we are with what we do. I'm a therapist. I'm a parent. I'm a partner. I'm successful. I'm anxious. I'm confident. But those are roles, behaviours and experiences. They aren't necessarily our identity. So who are we underneath all of that? I started thinking about Superman, Spider-Man, Batman and Wonder Woman. They all have different identities, different roles and different ways of showing up in the world, but underneath the costume there's something deeper: values, purpose, a calling and a direction. And perhaps that's true for us too. In this episode, I explore identity, self-discovery, personal growth, purpose and finding your North Star, along with a simple process for meeting the different versions of yourself and asking one rather interesting question: Which one is pretending to be you? I also share how my puzzle book has become a surprisingly powerful tool for thinking, asking better questions, exploring the unconscious mind and finding my way through change. This isn't me teaching you who you are. It's me sharing what I'm discovering about myself and inviting you to explore alongside me. Because maybe we're not here to find ourselves once and for all. Maybe we're here to keep discovering who we're becoming. Enjoy every heartbeat. What You'll Explore Why we can confuse our roles and behaviours with our identity The difference between what you do and who you are How self-discovery can reveal parts of ourselves we've overlooked Why values and purpose may matter more than rigid goals Finding your calling and personal direction My North Star approach to personal development A simple process for exploring the different versions of yourself How a puzzle book can help uncover thoughts, ideas and unconscious insights Why leaving a question unfinished can sometimes be surprisingly useful How to use curiosity and reflection for personal growth A Question For You Which version of you is pretending to be you?

    Jensen Huang. Steve Jobs. The other guy responsible for those aggressively ugly cars/the rebirth of conspiracy theory internet free speech. (Thanks Elon?) What do people like this see around the corner that the rest of us don't? Why do certain leaders recognize an emerging possibility years before everyone else catches up? Are they geniuses? Pattern-recognition freaks? Secret remote viewers? This week on Open Loops, Greg sits down with Tye Glover, innovation coach, author of The Perception Gap, and creator of Neuro Creative Programming (NCP)—a developing methodology designed to model the perceptual patterns of unusually creative thinkers and make those patterns more accessible to the rest of us. Because maybe creativity isn't simply about having better ideas. Maybe some people are literally noticing different realities. See that one over there? Made you look! This conversation becomes an experience in perception itself. Tye and Greg explore the filters determining what makes it into conscious awareness, what gets deleted before you ever notice it, and whether those filters can actually be trained. And then, surprise surprise, things get weird. Somehow, Tye stands directly in the middle of all of it, trying to take ideas that could easily disappear into the metaphysical abyss and turn them into something practical enough to use inside an office on Monday morning. You know....those empty buildings people used to hate themselves making money for someone else in together. It's trippy. It's surprisingly grounded.

    Dr. Matt James keeps it real today: yes, connecting to your why gives you energy, but we still live in a world where you have to grind. That’s just fact. The key isn’t avoiding the grind. It’s finding the small moments inside it, five minutes of coffee outside, grilling steaks, sitting on a balcony, to ground and rebalance yourself. With back-to-back travel ahead (Houston → a brand-new training he’s never taught before → solo for 5 days → a 3am flight to teach in Hilo), Dr. Matt is being intentional about grounding himself now, because even when you’re living your purpose, burnout is still possible. The takeaway: purpose doesn’t make you immune to burnout. You still have to build in the moments that ground you, even if it’s just 5 or 10 minutes.

    Energy + Speed + Follow Through = Results Live from Carlsbad, Dr. Matt James just wrapped Week 1 of Master Practitioner Training with 60+ students — capped off with a board break that’s way more than it looks like. It’s a lesson in goal setting: you need energy, speed, and follow through to break through. Dr. James shares a story that still gets him — a woman who pitched him an incredible healing center idea, had trainers lined up, hearts fully in it… but couldn’t answer where, what state, or how it would run. She’d been “talking about it” for 10 years. That was 20 years ago. Still hasn’t happened. The lesson? Great ideas without action are just ideas. If you don’t take the first step, someone else will.

The difference between a manager and a leader? Managers dictate policy and procedure. Leaders help people tap into something deeper — inspiring growth beyond any ceiling they thought they had. And that starts with how you talk to yourself, especially in the moments that test you (like showing up for that workout). Are you managing yourself… or leading yourself?

    Dr. Matt James is deep into Trainers Training with a room full of soon-to-be NLP trainers and today’s topic came straight from watching them work through filter patterns. Here’s the thing: if you don’t know your own filter pattern, you can’t tell someone else what you actually need to understand something deeply. Dr. James shares his own daughter’s story. She thought she was “dumb” in school simply because she’s a detailed, literal listener and processed information differently than how it was taught. Once she learned her filter pattern, she realized she was never the problem… she just filters differently. At the Master Practitioner level, students learn all 22 major filter patterns — including one simple one Dr. James shares here: big picture vs. detail. He’s big picture, his wife is detail-oriented. Instead of that becoming a source of conflict, understanding each other’s filters means he gives her the details she needs, and she gives him space to stay big picture. Different people think differently and that’s something to celebrate, not fight. Want to learn all 22 filter patterns and transform how you communicate?

    Peter McLaughlin was given a twin diagnosis 23 years ago: Lyme disease and leukemia on the same day. The doctors told him if he was lucky, he had 10 years. They didn't know what caused it and they didn't know how to cure it. So he went looking himself. What he found in the depths of his own psyche became the foundation of an entire life's work in hypnotherapy, past life regression, Havening, and subconscious reprogramming. He's been healthy for 23 years. And in this conversation, he shares what he learned along the way, including one of the most fascinating explanations I've ever heard for why we drink. We get into what hypnosis actually is and why the entertainment version of it has given most people completely the wrong idea. We talk about how trauma gets encoded in the nervous system as safe or not safe, and why that single distinction explains almost every self-sabotaging pattern people can't seem to break. We go into past life regression, what happens emotionally when someone encounters a lifetime they consciously have no memory of.  And we talk about alcohol. Specifically, why it's called spirits. What it actually does energetically when you drink. And how Peter uses future progression in hypnosis to help people feel, in their body, the 10-year contrast between two versions of their life, one that keeps drinking and one that doesn't.   IN THIS EPISODE  The twin diagnosis that sent Peter into the depths of his own subconscious, and what he found there What hypnosis actually is, why the entertainment version gets it completely wrong, and the everyday experience almost everyone has had that is genuinely hypnotic Why alcohol is called spirits, and what Peter believes is actually happening energetically when you drink How root cause healing differs from symptom management, and why going back to the origin of a pattern is the only thing that actually resolves it Past life regression: what it feels like from the inside, what happens emotionally, and why the most mundane past lives are often the most moving Havening: what it is, how it works, and why the magic isn't in the tapping The future progression technique Peter uses with clients, and why the 10-year contrast is so powerful Why other people don't give you love, they just trigger the feelings you're already capable of generating yourself The one book Peter recommends above all others, and why he reread it after his father died   Find Peter at blueskyhypnosis.com and on YouTube at Blue Sky Hypnosis, where his past life regression track has nearly a million views.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about AI for writing and for writers. We have seen no shortage of people talking about AI watermarking and all this stuff and how you can tell whether somebody’s using AI for writing or not. And we at Trust Insights have put together a new course, Trust Insights AI for Writers, for how to get AI to write better and not coincidentally, help you as a human also become a better writer. So, Katie, to start off, what are the things that when you are writing with the assistance of AI, what are the things that sort of you wish AI would do better? Katie Robbert: You know, I wish it would listen better. And by that I mean I feel like you can craft a really strong prompt. You can say, here are my writing samples, here are things that I don’t want you to do. And it kind of just like freewheels and does its own thing anyway. And I feel like that is frustrating for a lot of people. So, you know, I really try to write the first draft of things myself as the human and then know, and I’ve talked about this in the newsletter and on pod on our podcast where I bring in AI is to double check with like our ICPs or to use it as an editing tool. But then the editing gets carried away. You know, I’m not an editor and grammar is. I would like to say that the public school system failed me. You know. So I’m like a half decent writer. I have good ideas and I write in a stream of consciousness. And so I need tools or human editors to help me clean things up. And this is where I look to generative AI because the team doesn’t always have time to like fully edit my stuff. But then when I read back what the edits are or what the suggested edits are, I’m like, where did this come from? Or why did you make up a whole anecdote that never happened, but you’re saying it authoritatively? So I feel like the hallucination is the big thing. And the, you know, depending on the large language model, each model has its quirks in terms of the way that it writes or the way that it, you know, quote unquote, articulates thoughts. And so I think one of the things that you’ve shared about Claude, for example, is it likes its, you know, things in threes, like three punchy points. And it’s very much a tell that, like, oh, that’s a Claude thing. And I found that when I have, you know, an AI assistant help edit my stuff, it turns it into a lot of that, like the individual sentences, the three punchy points, like the this and this, then this or this or, you know, those kinds of ways that it writes. And that’s not what I, the human had put in. And I’m just sort of sitting there exhausted, like. But I just, I need this edited and I need it coherent and is it good enough? But did it change too much of my own human writing? So I think that, you know, when I think about using AI for writing, that’s what I’m personally struggling with is, you know, I still want to be the one writing it, but, like, I need someone to help me polish it. And the polish is like subpar. Christopher S. Penn: Why do you think AI does that? Why do you think AI behaves the way it does and turns original writing into something that sounds like slop? Katie Robbert: Oh, gosh, if only there was a course that was going to tell me the answer to this question. Christopher S. Penn: There’s something else that will also tell you the answer to that question. And that happens to be the fifth P. Katie Robbert: I should have guessed that one. Sneaky, sneaky. The framework at Trust Insights is purpose, people, process, platform, performance. Chris, you’re specifically talking about performance. And I think that where a lot of us get caught up in prompting these large language models is we think we’re being clear on the performance, but we’re not as clear as we could be. And that’s where the frustration sets in and that’s where we want to throw up our hands. And so the perfect purpose could be, I need you to edit this, you know, five thousand word essay. I need you to look for spelling and grammar and, you know, a cohesive thread like all those things. People, here’s my audience, here’s my authoritative voice, here’s my samples process. I want you to go through this and just list out the changes. Don’t change it for me, platform. This is going to be published on my blog, which is hosted here, and I’m going to add images in these places. And then performance. We typically think of performance as did we get the polished thing from our purpose? But it sounds like we are missing a lot of opportunity in the performance part of the 5Ps to really spell out what we need. Christopher S. Penn: And that is the premise of the new course. The biggest chunks of the new course that we have are twofold. One, we spend a lot of time on research because good research leads to better outcomes typically. And two, we spend a lot of time on math, which is your average writer is like, But I started with the premise for this course, that writing is code. If I put nonsense words together, you’re like, did you just get hit in the head? Like, what happened? Did you actually put decaf in the coffee maker this morning? If I don’t say words in the right order in a statistically predictable pattern, you have no idea what’s going on. You might say, these tests, coverage, adding branches, empty. Like, what? What does that mean? That’s word salad. Language follows patterns, and those patterns are predictable. And the reason why AI writes the way it does is because it’s choosing the most probable patterns, even when it doesn’t sound like you. So the first thing that we have to do is give AI performance, right? To say, this is what success looks like. And it has to be in a tangible form. The percentage of passive voice that you use in a text when you write as a human, how much passive voice do you use? The number of sentences that begin with a noun or a pronoun. What percentage of your copy is that? Is that the number of EM dashes that you use naturally in your text as a human? What is that? Our friend Anne Hanley says, I use the EM dash because I’m an actual writer, but I don’t use it in every sentence. And where AI typically goes off the rails is when it knows that a construction is probable, like using EM dashes, like using triadic rhythm, like using bicolon or isocolon. And it says, hey, I’m going to use the most probable things. But it has no concept of frequency, so it overuses it. And you get, it’s not this, it’s that in every single sentence or in, you know, Claude in particular loves bicolon. It’s. It sounds like a drum beat. One and two and one and two. And you’re like, could you please vary the beat? Katie Robbert: Right? Christopher S. Penn: When you look at a, like a slide deck Claude generates, everything is bicolon, all the headings, you know, this and this, sharp insight and this. And you’re like, my God, this is so mind numbing to read. If we give AI analysis of how our writing to begin with and say success looks like this set of numbers, now go right, then check your work and compare what you wrote versus what the blueprint is and it will go, oh, I didn’t do this at all. Like, I use 82% passive voice. Yeah, go back and fix it. But the fifth P in the 5P framework by Trust Insights is so important. We have to establish what success looks like for it so that it mathematically can go back and fix its code. Katie Robbert: So let me ask you this question though, because I will give Claude like samples of my writing and say this is what it’s supposed to sound like. Am I doing it wrong? Because I have all of these samples from like literally years and I feel like Claude or a large language model, you know, is trying to evolve my writing so that my writing fits its format, not its editing, to my writing. Like, I feel like that’s where I’m struggling. Christopher S. Penn: You are not doing anything wrong except you are asking it to count and it can’t count. And so even though it will analyze your writing as a language model, it has no clue of how to count. One of the things that’s in this course is probably worth the price of admission alone is a Python script that it has to run on a writing sample you provide that will do that fingerprint mathematically not letting the language model try to count, because language models can’t count. The Python script goes through and it counts in your original sample, this is the percentage of passive voice that you use and it writes it down as a fingerprint, as a file in your language model of choice. It works in ChatGPT, it works in Copilot. It tested in all the systems. It can then rerun that script on its output and say, initial sample, 4% passive voice, my work, 18% passive voice revision loop. I need to go back and keep revising until I hit this number. But it can’t count that by itself. It needs the support of actual code to do it. And that’s what’s in the course is pre baked. Nobody has to be coding, no coding involved. It’s bundled in. But you would drop that into your Copilot or your ChatGPT or your Claude and say, this is how you’re going to measure yourself. Yourself, you’re going to do the fingerprint and you’ll reuse that fingerprint and then you will go back and you will count using this script. And that’s, you know, again, you’re not doing anything wrong. It’s just the average non technical user doesn’t think, hey machine, I remembered you can’t count well. Katie Robbert: And I say, okay, so that’s an interesting distinction because so up until now, you know, I’ve been saying like, hey, this is the sample of my writing. And you’re right, it absolutely, it takes what I give it and it like, is like, oh, you said to do this, let me make sure that I do this. And by making sure that I do this, I’m going to do it 16 times out of the 18 sentences, but I’m also going to do this in 15 of the 18 sentences. And so it’s taking everything it knows about my style of writing and trying to jam it all into one sentence. And I’m like, whoa. Like, yes, grammatically it’s correct, but now it’s garbage because that is not at all what I wrote. And I sort of. I feel, it’s not that I feel like my hands are tied because I can’t fix it myself, but like, the reason I turned to a system for help is because I’m not an expert editor. And so I miss things that an editor would find. And I need that, like, for me, I need that kind of support of like, hey, you started a point over here and then you dropped it halfway through and you made a different point at the end. Like, you gotta pick a story and stick with it. Christopher S. Penn: And this is where these tools, these AI tools simply by themselves cannot do that. Like, they just do not understand. How do I, how do I even count? So I’ll show you an example of one of the things that is bundled in the course. And again, the average user does not need to look at this. The average user is not going to. You will just drop the file and say, machine, off you go. But it will look at thing. There’s functions in this. It says like, look at the rate per word of the this kind of word. For example, it’s often said that good writing relies on relatively few adverbs. Adverbs are words that end in ly, you know, actually, etc. AI loves adverbs, obviously, actually, and stuff like that. Which also sounds condescending. Katie Robbert: Yeah. Christopher S. Penn: And so if your writing style uses almost no adverbs, when you do a fingerprint, it will say, hey, your adverb rate per 1000 words is like 1%. And so when it goes back and counts, it’s revision, it’s edits that you had it make. And it goes, oh, I used 9% adverbs in my revision. But the target, the performance says 1%. I need to go back and fix my work. It’s a diagnostic. And that’s what’s missing from all of our prompts, because it can’t do that. That’s what’s missing from every single AI for Writers course I’ve ever taken or every session I’ve ever sat in. Nobody thinks of writing as a system of measurement, of analytics. And therefore, when AI just follows its own internal process programming the probabilities that it generates, we’re all like, why is this keeps coming out like slop? Why can I not prompt this thing to sound like me? It’s because it can’t count. And so the cornerstone really, of this entire course that we’ve created is let’s give AI the tools it needs to count, let’s give it the measures that it needs to count, and then let’s give it clear guidelines. You know, one of the things that is in the toolkit is a. Again, this is another piece of code the user, you. The user will not use. This is built into a skill that you just install, and there’s instructions on how to install it. But it will say, if you have this cadence, don’t do that. Here’s how you do it instead, right? If you do short, long, short, long cadence over six consecutive sentences, you’re writing us. You’re writing a dead drum beat. Dead. Don’t do that, do this instead. Things like that. So, for example, if you look at AI writing ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and you just take a step back and you look at the page, all the paragraphs are about the same length. They’re all. They all kind of look like the same gray rectangles on a page. If you were to step back and stop looking at the letters and just look at the shape. If you look at your human writing, there’s a good chance that it’s. There’s some paragraphs are real short. Maybe it’s even one word, like an emphasis one like, no, don’t do this. Right? And that’s just its own paragraph. That frequency of change in paragraph length is something that you can measure. Machines don’t know to look for that. Machines don’t even think about that. And so if we give them the tools, the counting tools to go. Katie tends to alternate her paragraph length. Sometimes her paragraph length is 11 sentences, other times it’s one. I should replicate that general pattern. Because once you give AI a pattern, it’s like, oh, I know how to do patterns. I can do this. And it goes off and it creates it. Katie Robbert: I mean, I have a lot of thoughts and comments, you know, and so like, the big elephant in the room is, you know, why are we teaching people how to train the models to write when there’s real writers out there? So, I mean, that’s a big question. So I’m just going to like, put that, like, stick it up here for a second. When I think back to like high school and middle school, for example, we generation were taught the five paragraph writing. But for a lot of us, this is like, this is how were taught to write. So the first paragraph is your opening argument. The second, third and fourth paragraph are your supporting reasons for your argument. And the fifth paragraph is your conclusion. And so a lot of us who were, you know, that was like drilled into our heads on our like yellow piece of paper with the green lines, like that’s how you’re supposed to write. And so I think what’s often frustrating for someone who writes their own stuff is because were taught to structure our writing in a certain way. It can come across as well. AI must have written that because of the structure. It’s like, no. My sixth grade middle school English teacher, when slapping rulers on tables was legal, scared the bejesus out of me and told me, this is how you have to write. And so I write the way that AI writes because it was drilled into my brain. This is how you write. And I guess I’m wondering, so when you’re saying like pattern recognition, like it learned these patterns from us. We taught it the patterns it did. Christopher S. Penn: But it is averaged together everything. And that’s why it often comes out so different than the way an individual writes. Because everyone has their own pattern distortions. Everyone has words they like, everyone has words they don’t like. Everyone has words, life experiences that will show up in your writing. AI is averaged all of that together into. And then what it does is it spits out the highest likely probability except for when it’s using watermarking. And so the five paragraph essay and that kind of blocky set. Yeah, it’s going to do that because the majority of writing it has seen on a bell curve is exactly that. If you look at the, you know, an earnings report or a press release, it is exactly that dead metronome of boring writing. The thing about writing to that. And we say this in the beginning of the course and we’ve said this in many different places. Good creative work that’s interesting is low probability. Right. You, the way you write should be surprising and different than what the way that middle school teacher taught you to write. Right? I will. There’s all sorts of expressions I’ve used for this. But if you say, you know, this is a, this works like a Prius and other people the average is this works okay. Right. This works okay. It’s boring. This works like a Prius, has a very specific connotation and A mindset behind it. And so what we want AI to recognize with the tooling in our course is recognize how the. In our individual style looks and replicate that specific pattern, not the general patterns. You’ve been trained on the general patterns that you will generate without these very rigid mathematical guardrails. Katie Robbert: Okay. One of the things that I’ve noticed and I’ve seen, and actually, this is a phrase that you use a lot. And so I guess I’m sort of asking, like, have you adopted this from AI or is it a phrase that people use and AI has adopted it is something that I see a lot in my conversations with a large language model is. And here’s the shape of the thing, and here’s the shape of it, and here’s the shape of the problem, and here’s the shape of the challenge. Well, that’s not the same shape as it was before. And I’m like, why are we talking about shapes? And to be fair, Chris, you say that a lot, but you are not in my instance of a large language model. And so I guess my question is, have you. No, you’re not. Have you brought that from working with large language models? Because that’s not a phrase that you used to say before. But I find that, like, there’s these little ticks and, you know, quirks that these large language models have, and each one has a different one of ways that it phrases things. So you’re talking about, like, the 1, 2, 3, the cadence, but then there’s also these descriptors, and I find that really interesting. And I feel like if a human is not paying attention, that very easily slips into a lot of your work. Christopher S. Penn: It. And it slips into how you think, too. Like, I find myself when I’m writing now, I go, oh, that is negative parallelism. And I will even call that out. Like, in a LinkedIn post I published this morning, I say, and to quote one of Claude’s favorite constructions, it’s not this, it’s that. Because negative parallelism, which is a form of bicolon, is. Is something that the language models use. But writing is a lot like. It’s a lot like nutrition. You become what you eat. So if you are reading AI generated text all the time and. And you start seeing that’s a sharp insight, that’s a sharp angle. It’s going to influence you. And so, yeah, I probably have picked up things because I’ve spent so much time wrestling with these tools and trying to diagnose how they do their constructions that, yeah, some of it is going to influence how I write and speak and even think. And one of the things that linguists, if you read this one, the discourse online, the, one of the things that linguists are very concerned about with AI generally is that it’s sort of a flattening of language, that the language, the English language itself is morphing because of the influence of AI on it. When you, when I saw, I think the stat was two out of three pages on the Internet are now written solely by AI. That is going to have a, a shaping effect on how we read and how. And when you see, you know, I think it was something 10 out of 1, 9 out of 10 new books submitted on Amazon was written solely by AI. That’s going to change your language. That’s going to change how you read and how you write is how you think. Katie Robbert: Yeah, it’s interesting. So let’s say I’m a brand new learner. I want to sign up for the AI writers course. What are some of the big things that I’m going to learn? I believe you’re introducing a new framework which is called craft. Can you speak a little bit about what the craft framework does and if I’m someone who’s trying to help my writing, what that means? Christopher S. Penn: Well, okay, so the CRAFT is a subset of the 5P framework, right? So the whole course is Craft fits in process. It’s a breakdown of process. But fundamentally the whole course itself is actually structured on the 5P framework. I’m the major lessons are literally right out of the 5P framework by Trust Insights because it’s the best framework for pretty much everything. CRAFT is a subset of process, which stands for create. You need to come up with the idea because AI is not going to do a good job. Then you need to do a buttload of research to inform the idea. Then you need to architect the work itself and we’ll talk about process decomposition, which is which we borrow from software development. I basically took the learnings of some software development and turned it into a writing course. Then you have what’s called fabulate, which is basically a machine. Here’s how to go and do this. How you build the. The plan for a tool to go do it. And then the last part, which is the hardest part, is the tuning part where the machine and it’s not hard for you, the user, it’s hard for the machine. You say, hey machine. Remember here’s the fingerprint that we did of how I write. You need to retune your work to match it. And then I as a human editor review and go, you missed this. These constructions are still off. And the machine’s like, okay, I’ll go fix it. You will see that in the course content to watch the tuning process go, oh, I can’t be hands off. I of the human still have a role to play as the editor saying, machine, you missed this. Katie Robbert: And I think that’s an important point because I think there’s a lot of misunderstanding as to where AI for writing fits in to an everyday process and how it can be the most beneficial. And so we’re not teaching you, hey, AI is going to replace your writing. We’re trying to teach you to more smartly and thoughtfully. Clearly I’m not a writer today to more pragmatically use AI in your writing, not just say, hey, AI do my writing. Because that’s where the slop comes from. To your point, these are word prediction machines. And so, you know, you often give examples of like cliche statements. So like, if I say it rains, AI is likely going to say it pours, you know, and so we have to be more creative than that. And that’s really where the human side of this comes in, is being very thoughtful about, you know, how can I break out of that Prius version of writing so that it’s, you know, something more interesting? Like one of my favorite song lyrics that my husband is convinced is just gibberish, which is the comfort of the knowledge of the rise above the sky, but could never parallel a challenge of an acquisition, which is not something that I think AI would necessarily come up with, but it’s a real song lyric. And it’s like that always sticks with me. Not only because when I was a teenager, me and my friends thought it was amazing to be able to recite it on command because we thought were so cool, but because it just strikes me as such an interesting way of saying something very simple. It’s an over complicated statement, but it’s not something that AI would come up with. And so I like, that’s where my brain goes, I’m writing is like, is there a more interesting way to say this other than, well, when it rains, it pours. Christopher S. Penn: And in the course you’ll actually see that in the first two steps of the CRAFT framework. The first is, you know, the creation, you, the human have to come up with the idea. And the second is the research. Because the more better research you do, the more unique the words are going to end up because you will dig deep into Subjects that maybe you didn’t even know about. So in this course I teach about building a short story and I build a 20,000 word short story in there about time travel and the research process for that, for this short sci fi story ended up pulling like five years worth of quantum physics papers and looking at the eight different forms of, you know, how physicists understand the very fabric of space time that works into the story and that creates a much richer story than just winging it. Because the research process digs super deep into low frequency words, things like Cartesian planes and Lorentzian manifolds and all these things. I just read the research outputs and going, wow, I need a PhD just to understand what the research is about. But it creates better writing. And to your point, and you know, kind of the whole point of the course is if we really, if I were to distill it down, this course is about how do you slap better guardrails on AI so that when it’s writing it follows instructions better and it brings to life the things that you want. And so the course will become available on the this coming. Well, by the time you listen to this podcast, it’s out. It will come out yesterday by the date the course is out Exactly. And you can find it at TrustInsights AI for writers. It’s 397 US and with it you get the course. You get the deep research toolkit for doing the research. You also get the writer’s suite which contains a writing planning skill, which by the way is fantastic. It will really force you, the human to think a writing fingerprint skill and a writing QA skill that will take any piece of existing writing and QA it like software against the original requirements document that you wrote for the writing. So Katie, you will see a lot of very strong parallels of the things that you’ve been writing and talking about for years about how do you do great build, great software. If writing is code, we’re going to apply the same practices. Katie Robbert: I think that’s great. And you know, I love more guardrails for AI. So I’m excited to test all of this out. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. I hope, I hope you do. And if you’ve got some thoughts about how you have been helping AI write better and you want to share and pop by our free Slack group, go to Trust Insights AI analytics for marketers, where you and over 4,700 other marketers are asking answering each other’s questions every single day, including whether pizza sauce should be sweet or not.

    What would your life look like right now if you had said yes to every single thing that scared you? This episode explores that question with someone who has spent over four decades doing exactly that. Elisabeth Villiger Toufexis, a Swiss-born author, podcaster, life coach, and hypnotherapist who has visited more than 100 countries and speaks six languages, joins host Sana to talk about what saying yes to life beyond comfort really means, why fear is conditioned rather than instinctive, and how to tell the difference between genuine growth and running from your problems. About the Guest: Elisabeth Villiger Toufexis is a Swiss-born author, podcast host, master life coach, NLP practitioner, and hypnotherapist based in Cyprus. A former tour guide and conference interpreter fluent in six languages, she is the author of The Soul Kit and One Suitcase, 1000 Stories, and hosts the podcast Most Memorable Journeys. Key Takeaways: We're only born with two instinctive fears, falling and loud noises, everything else is conditioned, and conditioning can be examined and released. Saying yes to life doesn't mean fear disappears, it means fear stops being the one in the driver's seat. Problems don't stay behind when you leave, low self-esteem and unresolved pain travel with you until you actually face them. You can't control what happens to you, but there's a space between what happens and how you respond, and that space is where your freedom lives. Simple daily practices, deep belly breathing and naming two or three things you're grateful for, can meaningfully shift how overwhelmed or afraid you feel. Connect With the Guest:

    What if the real reason your customers buy has almost nothing to do with the reason they give you? What if the survey you sent out, the testimonial you loved, and the answer you got on your sales call were all honest, but still missed the real reason the person said yes?That sounds crazy, but some fascinating psychology experiments suggest exactly that. People often make a decision first and then build a story to explain it. They think they know why they chose something, but their brain may have been influenced by something they never noticed.For anyone selling a coaching program, course, membership, or service, this changes everything.

    As part of our Creativity Series, we're revisiting one of our most popular Moonshots: Walt Disney. Disney didn't just dream big — he built a practical method for turning bold ideas into reality. In this episode, Mike and Mark explore his three creative mindsets: Dreamer, Realist, and Critic.Walt Disney is famous for his ability to transform incredibly creative ideas into profitable realities. The process he used to brainstorm and develop theme parks and movies became a replicable approach known as “Disney's Creative Strategy,” developed by NLP expert Robert Dilts in 1994.Disney's Creative Strategy can be used to create new products or solve problems. It's simple to use as an individual, team, or organisation, and includes three roles or mindsets — each with a specific goal.Get Walt Disney from Amazon: https://geni.us/WaltDisneyBecome a member: Moonshots Podcast is creating a podcast to help improve yourself, your thinking and leadership | Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots

    REDEEM Her Time
    440 | When Success Isn't Enough: Healthy Ambition, Midlife + a More Faithful Rhythm, ft Claire Davis

    REDEEM Her Time

    Midlife…Maybe you've noticed it too.You still care deeply about your calling. You still want to make an impact. You still have ideas, responsibilities and people you love.But the pace you once kept doesn't fit quite the same anymore.Your energy has changed. Your capacity may have changed. Your roles are changing.And somewhere in the middle of it all, you may be asking, “What is this season for?”We've been talking a lot around here about a theology of time, how what we believe about God and time shapes what we do with our days. Today's conversation with Claire Davis of The Midlife Mentors adds another layer:The God who created time also created you. Your body isn't an inconvenience to your calling. Your limitations aren't something you have to outsmart. And a change in season doesn't necessarily mean you're becoming less useful.It may be an invitation to become more discerning about what you're carrying into the next one.Ready to Start Redeeming Your Time?If this conversation has you realizing it's time for a different rhythm, you don't need another productivity system. You need a place to start.I've put together the free REDEEM Her Time Starter Kit to help you begin asking the question that changes everything: “Lord, what is it time for?”Inside, you'll get the foundational tools to start giving what matters a home in your actual week, while leaving room for your capacity, your season, and real life.When you grab the Starter Kit, you'll also join me here on REDEEM Her Time, where we'll keep looking to the Author of Time for what it means to faithfully steward what He's entrusted to us.What If Midlife Isn't a Decline?Claire knows something about reaching the point where striving stops working. After years of putting so much of her identity and meaning into her career, work and brand, she experienced burnout and eventually found herself at the end of herself.And that's where God met her.What followed reshaped how she understood who she was and what her life was for.That's especially significant in midlife because so much is already changing. Children may be leaving home. Parents may need more care. Hormones change. And suddenly the roles that have answered “Who am I?” for decades don't answer quite as easily anymore.Claire describes midlife as an opportunity to get curious rather than assume we're in decline.What still matters? What have we been carrying because someone else told us success was supposed to look that way? And what might God be asking us to lay down so we have the capacity to hear what He's inviting us into next?As Claire put it:“It's not about adding. It's about subtracting. It's about taking things out and living more in our natural rhythms.”That sounds a lot like stewardship to me.Healthy Ambition Requires a Different RhythmI especially wanted to ask Claire about healthy ambition because the women in this community aren't looking for permission to stop caring.We want our lives to matter. We want to build, serve, love our families and use what God has entrusted to us well.The real question is what's driving our ambition, not whether we should have it.Unhealthy ambition can look a lot like stress, striving, and not-enoughness. And we can make our striving sound very spiritual.“I'm doing this for God.” “I'm serving people.” “This opportunity could make such an impact.”All of those things may be true. And we can still outrun our capacity.Claire reminded us that the body we're living in is also part of what God has entrusted to us. Sleep matters. Movement matters. Creating space to be with God instead of filling every available minute, even with good things, matters.And sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is remove something that no longer belongs, not squeeze another healthy habit into an already-full schedule.Faithful stewardship means discerning what God has entrusted to us and letting that determine our yeses, not doing less simply for the sake of doing less.So What Is It Time for Now?Toward the end of our conversation, Claire offered a simple place to begin.Take 10 minutes a day. Grab a journal. And get curious with God.Who does God say I am? What used to bring me joy? What might He be calling me toward now?You don't need to figure out the entire second half of your life in one sitting. You simply need enough space to begin listening.Because maybe this season isn't asking you to become more efficient at carrying everything you've always carried. Maybe it's asking you to discern what belongs now.So before you move on to the next thing, sit with this week's stewardship question: “What am I still carrying because it fit a previous season, but may not belong in the one God has me in now?”Don't rush to fix it. Get curious. Bring it before God. And then ask the question we've been practicing together: “Lord, what is it time for?”I'd love to hear what comes up for you in the comments.Ready to Let That Answer Shape Your Actual Week?Recognizing that your season has changed is one thing. Letting it change the way you live Monday through Sunday is another.Inside the Stewardship Circle, you'll start with the Faithful Week Framework™ to discern what God has entrusted to you in this season, decide what deserves your yes, and give those priorities a realistic home in your week, with room for your actual capacity and real life.Because great information can help us see differently. But transformation comes as we begin living differently.And change takes time.

    Ellie White's 40s did not go gently. A pandemic upended her life in London and moved her to the Sussex countryside. She fell in love with the idea of becoming a mother for the first time at 43, found out she was pregnant, and very sadly lost her son at 22 weeks. Less than a year later, she had a miscarriage.  She saw a photo of herself on a hiking holiday in Switzerland and didn't recognize the woman looking back at her and knew she needed a change.  She started running. She ran the London Marathon. She trained as a health coach. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, at a birthday lunch when she was 47, she ordered a mocktail instead of champagne, just to see what would happen. She's been alcohol-free since.  Ellie is now a 5x certified coach specializing in wellness and alcohol-free living for women in midlife, and this conversation shows that a relationship with alcohol rarely changes in isolation.  It changes when everything else is changing, when life has pushed you far enough that you finally stop and ask what you actually want. We talk about grief, midlife hormonal changes and why alcohol makes every single one of them worse, what reinvention actually looks like for the women Ellie works with, and what it meant to lose her dog Maddie six months ago while alcohol-free, and to actually be present for all of it.   IN THIS EPISODE:  Losing a son at 22 weeks, then a miscarriage less than a year later, and what those losses set in motion How grief became the catalyst for a complete life overhaul, including retraining, running, and eventually eliminating alcohol The birthday lunch decision at 47 that changed her life, and why she describes it as her rebel side showing up How alcohol interacts with perimenopause hormones, progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, and sleep in ways most women don't realize What two months alcohol-free has looked like for one of Ellie's current clients The woman who went on a walk on the beach instead of a pub garden and accidentally joined a mermaid sea swimming group What it was like to lose her dog Maddie while alcohol-free, and why she's grateful she was sober to drive her to the vet that night   Find Ellie at elliewhitewellness.com and on Instagram @byelliewhite Join over 20,000 souls who tune into weekly newsletters on the competitive advantage you get alcohol-free.

    "Your experience is yours. And you have the ability to affect that experience in the ways that it will make it serve you best." — Farhan Zahid   Farhan Zahid is the founder and CEO of Kenko, a concierge wellness practice tailored for high-performing individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area. As the incoming administrative director for the Hypnotherapy Training Institute in California, Farhan's journey is deeply personal—shaped by the tragic loss of six family members, which turned his passion for wellness into his life's mission. A certified clinical hypnotherapist, master NLP practitioner, and yoga teacher, Farhan brings over two decades of corporate leadership experience to his work, where he assists clients through grief, burnout, and major life transitions.   Episode Summary: In this episode of "All My Health There Is Hope," host Jana Short engages in a profound conversation with Farhan Zahid, whose personal journey of loss and resilience has driven him to create Kenko, a unique wellness practice. Farhan explains how a traumatic family tragedy in 2017 motivated him to embrace a path of healing and purpose, emphasizing the power of compassion even amid anger and grief. His story illustrates how harnessing personal tragedy can lead to transformative growth, both personal and professional. The episode dives into the intricacies of Farhan's approach at Kenko, highlighting a holistic vision that places the human being at the center. The conversation explores the benefits of integrated and personalized health solutions, ranging from hypnotherapy to traditional wellness practices. Farhan articulates the concept behind Kenko's concierge model—one that especially caters to those caught up in the demands of corporate life, with the potential to expand and benefit a wider audience. By focusing on interconnectedness and convenience, Kenko aims to revolutionize how individuals achieve balance and fulfillment in their lives.   Key Takeaways: Farhan Zahid's personal tragedy inspired him to turn a lifelong interest in wellness into a dedicated professional mission. Kenko's unique approach integrates mind, body, and nervous system therapies, offering a seamless connection of holistic health services. Hypnotherapy, often misunderstood, is clarified as a natural, relaxed state beneficial for various applications, from stress relief to childbirth. The importance of addressing mental health proactively, rather than reactively, aligns with the principle of treating the "whole" in "holistic." Farhan provides practical resources, including a self-hypnosis guide and anxiety relief techniques, empowering personal mental health management.     Resources: https://knko.co/ https://www.instagram.com/knkowellness/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581151893015 https://www.linkedin.com/company/knko/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/farhanzahid/     Two Guides for a Quieter Mind: Self-Hypnosis & Anxiety Relief Most people are never taught how to work with their own minds. They're only taught to manage the symptoms of a mind that isn't at rest. These two complementary guides change that. The Self-Hypnosis Guide is a practical introduction to one of the most powerful and misunderstood tools available to you. No prior experience needed. You'll learn how to guide yourself into a calm, focused state and use it to shift patterns, release tension, and reconnect with your inner resources. The Anxiety Relief Guide meets you where anxiety actually lives—in the nervous system, in the body, in the stories we tell ourselves about what's coming next. It offers grounded, accessible techniques drawn from hypnotherapy and mind-body practice to help you move from reactive to responsive. Together, they're a starting point for anyone who is ready to stop forcing their way through stress and start working with the incredible power of their mind.
