Ever wondered if ChatGPT's Sora for Amazon can churn out eye-catching Sponsored Brands videos and slash your creative costs?In this episode we stress-test Sora's brand-new text-to-video model on five real-world products—an adjustable bed, a blender, sunglasses, a fitness band and a ceiling fan—to see whether AI can finally keep up with the fast-moving world of Amazon PPC.We upgraded to the pro tier (up to 1080p, 20-second clips) and fed Sora highly detailed cinematographer-style prompts.The results?From beds that fold like origami to athletes morphing into jump-scare monsters, Sora's glitches prove it's not ad-ready—yet.Still, its rapid evolution mirrors the leap we saw with AI image generators earlier this year, and OpenAI says more refinements are on the way.

Julia was a guest for Episode 30 of The VentureFizz Podcast back in 2018 where we do a deep dive into her background plus cover lots of interesting topics like what it takes to become a great Product Manager and others. In this interview, we catch up to discuss her new role as an author and the details about her new book called After The Idea - What It Really Takes to Create and Scale a Startup: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/julia-austin/after-the-idea/9781541705296 https://www.amazon.com/After-Idea-Really-Create-Startup/dp/1541705270 Julia is a seasoned operator who has served in leadership roles at several scaled technology companies like Akamai, VMware, and DigitalOcean. She has also advised hundreds of founders and startups. In this new book, which I believe will become a new staple in the entrepreneurial startup circles, she helps entrepreneurs navigate the complexities and challenges of building a startup like important matters around product, people, operations, and more. What I also appreciate the most about this book is the fact that it is very comprehensive, yet easy to understand and implement. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of great topics like: * A quick run through Julia's background - check out Episode 30 for the deeper dive. * How Julia became a member of the faculty at Harvard Business School and the impact of The Startup Operations course that she created. * The inside look at what it's like to write a book. * How proper discovery can help avoid false positives. * Why entrepreneurs don't always need a co-founder. * The importance of ABR - that being Always Be Recruiting - for founders. * The difference between Founders & Joiners * Comparing the Boston and NYC startup ecosystems. * And so much more.

Known for his elite military background and high-stakes operational experience, Eddie opens up about the emotional toll of war, the identity crisis that followed his transition out of the SEALs, and how faith, fatherhood, and a new mission helped rebuild his life. Eddie introduces the powerful concept of a "hot wash," a military-style debrief used to reflect, critique, and improve—a practice he's now brought into daily life, parenting, and business. His story is rich with lessons on overcoming fear, taking action in the face of uncertainty, and letting go of ego-driven success in favor of deeper personal growth. From the rigors of BUD/S training to the humility of apologizing to his children, Eddie's candor is both disarming and inspiring. This conversation strips away the myths of invincibility surrounding special operations forces, revealing the man behind the uniform. For anyone seeking clarity, courage, or a sense of purpose beyond career titles and accolades, Eddie's transformation offers a powerful reminder that true strength is found in vulnerability, accountability, and faith.

From high school dropout to licensed attorney to military magistrate to emergency physician, Dr. Jenn's path defies convention and embodies grit. Allow me to introduce Dr. Jenn properly -Jennifer L'Hommedieu Stankus, MD, JD, FACEPBoard Certified Emergency PhysicianProducer, Military & Law Enforcement content, American Stories Entertainment Past Chair, Emergency Medicine FoundationLicensed attorney and Former military magistrateCourtroom Expert Witness - Comprehensive Medical Legal Consultants, LLCThis means Dr. Jenn is an ER doc, lawyer, military vet x 2, former LEO and reality tv star.Her background fuses combat-tested discipline, medical precision, and legal expertise into a life of service, leadership, and high-stakes decision-making.But it wasn't always clear she'd end up here. Dr. Jenn opens up about her early years—dropping out of high school at 16 and enlisting in the military at 17. That decision changed everything. From there, she cultivated a mindset forged in discipline and resilience, guiding her through the challenges of earning both an MD and a JD.

Whether competing against elite operators on national television or advocating for preparedness and self-defense in daily life, Dr. Jenn illustrates that perseverance, mindset, and a refusal to quit are the ultimate force multipliers.

Her upcoming book, Hard Target, blends practical self-defense wisdom with real-world urgency. As a co-host on Surviving Mann and a producer of tactical media, she continues to mentor and inspire a wide audience, especially those who feel underestimated or overlooked.Whether you're in medicine, law, military service, or simply trying to grow stronger every day, Dr. Jenn offers a blueprint for resilience and reinvention—no matter where you start.

15 stycznia 2019 roku. Ze stolicy Kenii napływają przerażające informacje i zdjęcia. Luksusowy hotel DusitD2 stał się celem ataku terrorystycznego. Materiały wideo pokazują ludzi, którzy w panice uciekają z okolicznych budynków, a w tle słychać strzały. Uwagę mediów zwraca tajemniczy mężczyzna ubrany w fioletową kurtkę, kamizelkę kuloodporną oraz kominiarkę. Na kilku nagraniach widać, jak samotnie wchodzi do budynków i wyprowadza z nich cywili oraz pomaga kenijskim służbom w opanowaniu sytuacji. Tym mężczyzną okazuje się operator brytyjskiego SAS o pseudonimie Christian Craighead. W jaki sposób znalazł się w Kenii? Dlaczego to właśnie hotel w Nairobi stał się celem terrorystów? O tym opowiadamy w najnowszym odcinku Misji specjalnej RMF FM.

La guerre des assistants vocaux est entrée dans une nouvelle phase. Apple tente tant bien que mal de moderniser Siri, pendant qu'OpenAI, de son côté, déploie une stratégie ambitieuse pour imposer ChatGPT comme l'assistant numérique de référence, y compris… sur les iPhones.C'est un document interne d'OpenAI, intitulé « ChatGPT: H1 2025 Strategy », qui a levé le voile sur cette offensive. Révélé dans le cadre de l'enquête antitrust contre Google, ce plan stratégique décrit la création d'un "super-assistant" : une intelligence artificielle ultra-polyvalente, capable aussi bien de gérer les petites corvées du quotidien que de vous assister sur des tâches complexes comme le codage, la planification de voyages ou la prise de rendez-vous avec un avocat. Avec sa mémoire évolutive, sa capacité à se souvenir de vos préférences, et ses interactions avec des plateformes tierces via son module Operator, ChatGPT vise à devenir un compagnon numérique personnalisé, présent sur le web, les applications, par email, téléphone et même au sein de services comme… Siri.Car oui, ChatGPT est déjà intégré dans iOS 18, sous forme d'un soutien ponctuel à Siri. Mais pour OpenAI, ce n'est qu'un début. L'entreprise veut que les utilisateurs puissent le choisir comme assistant par défaut, que ce soit sur iOS, Android ou Windows. Un appel direct à Apple, Google et Microsoft, que l'on accuse ici de verrouiller l'accès aux assistants concurrents. Et ce n'est pas tout : OpenAI réclame également que les moteurs de recherche ouvrent leurs index à tous les assistants IA, pour garantir une véritable concurrence.Pendant ce temps, Apple semble en plein questionnement. La refonte de Siri est en cours, avec une équipe réorganisée et un nouveau projet interne baptisé « Knowledge ». Mais malgré des avancées notables, la firme à la pomme peine à rattraper le retard. Un signe révélateur : OpenAI vient d'acquérir une startup dirigée par un ancien designer d'Apple, renforçant encore l'ergonomie et l'intégration de ChatGPT. L'avenir nous dira si Siri parviendra à résister… ou s'il devra bientôt céder sa place. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Kody Sale (Head of Product) and Anthony Bertolino (Head of Marketing & Ecosystem) are leading Obol's charge to scale the next generation of infrastructure networks. Together, they're building the largest Decentralized Operator Ecosystem in Ethereum and Web3—powered by Obol's groundbreaking distributed validator technology. Why you should listen Obol Network is building a decentralized staking infrastructure for proof‑of‑stake networks like Ethereum. Obol enables Distributed Validators (DVs): validator clusters made up of multiple operators who jointly run a validator, each holding partial key shares (via Distributed Key Generation). This setup boosts fault tolerance—if one or two nodes go offline or are compromised, the validator stays operational and the full private key is never concentrated in one place, significantly slashing security risk. Obol also integrates a rewards distribution mechanism, Obol Splits, that lets cluster participants define on‑chain how staking rewards are split—non‑custodial, transparent, and immutable. The Obol Stack is a plug‑and‑play framework that sits on Kubernetes and Helm, enabling users to deploy and maintain decentralized infrastructure—like Ethereum validators, full nodes, L2 sequencers, DePIN nodes, AI agents, and more—in an enterprise‑grade but user‑friendly fashion. Whether you're a solo home operator or part of a global datacenter cluster, the Stack lets you package, version, and deploy your setup via Helm charts—then share or discover them through the Obol App Store. This means no wrestling with Bash, Docker Compose, or fragile scripts—everything's containerised, composable, and ready to scale.

If you think you know dirty jobs, you probably picture Mike Rowe knee-deep in some sewer or wrestling livestock. But let’s be real: there’s nothing heroic about coming in after the cameras are gone to mop up someone else’s mess—that’s the real work, and it can be a solid business proposition. That’s especially true in Louisiana, where the air is wet and the floods frequent. All of that environmental damage needs someone to clean it up. And many of them turn to Rinea Blanchard. Rinea is the Owner and Operator of Superior Contract Cleaning, a Lafayette-based remediation and cleaning company that handles everything from mold and fire damage to hoarding cleanup and post-construction debris. Rinea started her business nearly three decades ago with a single account. Today, she operates a fleet that tackles big jobs across the country—and she still prefers restoring grout to taking on routine janitorial gigs. If Rinea is cleaning up life’s messes, Trey Boone is helping prevent a few of them—mostly the kind that come from bored, untrained, or anxious dogs. Trey owns the Lafayette franchise of The Dog Stop, a full-service pet care facility that boards, grooms, trains, and pampers hundreds of dogs a month. Trey bought the franchise in 2015 and now oversees operations across the state. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.

Tom Corning didn't grow up dreaming of becoming a police chief. His journey into law enforcement started with a more universal call to arms. He served nearly seven years, including a 13-month deployment in Iraq as a crew member on an M1A1 Abrams main battle tank. After returning stateside, Corning became a recruiter for the Army in Marin and Napa Counties. When his service ended, he faced the realities of transitioning back to civilian life.
Chris Fettes is a former U.S. Navy SEAL who served for 13 years with SEAL Team 10 and the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU). He deployed to combat zones in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia, where he served as a sniper and earned a Bronze Star at JTAC. A notable marksman, Fettes once made a 900-yard sniper shot on an enemy in Somalia, and would often bring a high-end ice cream machine on deployments to make ice cream for his teammates and local children.

After leaving the military in 2016, Fettes didn't take the easy road. Like many veterans, the transition to civilian life came with its own set of battles. But in true warrior fashion, he forged a new path—launching 'Be Free Craft Ice Cream' in 2022, a small-batch, veteran-owned ice cream brand based in Virginia Beach. Each flavor is a tribute to his military past, blending boldness and creativity like only a seasoned operator could. He recently provided private security for Shawn Ryan during a controversial trip to Romania—and he's just getting started.

Listen in as we discover the journey of Peter that shows us how not to just see God work but experience God working.

In this episode, we're speaking with an artist whose musical journey is as compelling as his sound: A.J. Croce. While many recognize the name Croce from his father, the legendary singer/songwriter Jim Croce (who wrote classics like "Operator," "Time in a Bottle," "Bad Bad Leroy Brown," and many more), A.J. has carved out his own distinct path in the music world. With a career spanning over three decades, he's been a working musician since he was 15 years old, releasing more than 10 albums and collaborating with icons ranging from James Brown to Willie Nelson, showcasing his prowess as a virtuoso piano player and a versatile singer-songwriter. A.J.'s latest album, Heart Of The Eternal, produced by Shooter Jennings, is a testament to his evolving artistry. In our conversation, A.J. delves into the inspirations behind his new album, his experiences growing up in a musical household, and how he's embraced his father's legacy while continuing his own musical prowess. He shares insights into his creative process, the stories behind his songs, and the personal experiences that have shaped his music. Enjoying the show?

Megyn Kelly is joined by retired U.S. Army Special Operations Sergeant Major John McPhee, founder of SOB Tactical, to discuss how he got into the Army, the people who misjudged him along the way, why he loved basic training, his rise to the Army Rangers and Delta Force, his experience in Afghanistan killing hundreds of terrorists, what really happened with bin Laden, whether he could have been killed or captured just months into the conflict, the political implications of war, why Hegseth and Trump are right to fix the military, the keys to leadership, why Jiu Jitsu is a core element of keeping him sane and in survival mode, his tough childhood, living in a brothel, his relationship with his parents, and more.
