Podcasts about optimization

Jordan takes a critical look at the benefits of zazen and questions whether that was ever really the point, or even something we should rely on. Can meditation become a form of avoidance? Is the need to feel better just one more attempt to control the world? And if Buddhism is really working why do we still wake up with a brain full of a-hole thoughts and feelings? Find out here!

For the last few years, one of my favorite parts of Tangle has been hiring young writers and giving them an opportunity to work with us. Over the years we've had a number of “interns” (nobody really does intern work here) who have made major contributions to our newsletter, gone on to work for awesome publications, or left and returned years later to work for us.Last year, our managing editor Ari Weitzman decided to formalize this experience with a six-month fellowship program. We got dozens of applications, and ended up hiring Hunter Casperson — a sharp writer and recent journalism master's graduate from California. Hunter immediately earned a reputation for thoughtful edits, speaking her mind, and stepping up to do whatever was asked of her. This month, her six months at Tangle are coming to a close. In the past, it's been simply tradition that we've let Tangle interns write a capstone piece — this year, with the process formalized, we baked it into the initial schedule of working with Hunter. The prompt is simple: You can pick any topic you want to cover, and we'll work on a well researched, long-form piece with you that we'll publish as a Friday edition. Today, we are sharing Hunter's capstone piece.It is, in my estimation, perfectly Tangle. It covers a controversial topic. It's personal. It is deeply researched. It is thoughtfully written. And most importantly, it offers fair treatment of a complicated issue. I hope you enjoy it, and I want to thank Hunter for all her contributions to Tangle — I'm excited to see what she does next!

Our CEO Brett Curry sits with Jim Kennemer in this latest episode. Jim knows his stuff when it comes to tariffs, supply chain management and sourcing anything outside of China. Brett wanted to bring Jim on the pod to break down the opportunities and considerations of sourcing from Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico, sharing real examples of how brands like Columbia Sportswear and Converse have legally engineered their products to slash tariff costs. From understanding country of origin rules to leveraging bonded warehouses for cash flow management, this conversation is packed with actionable insights for any brand looking to optimize their supply chain in today's volatile trade environment.Key TakeawaysThe DDP trap that could destroy your business – Why "delivered duty paid" arrangements are legal but dangerous when suppliers falsify invoices (and why you're still liable even if it's their mistake)Tariff engineering strategies – How adding a simple pocket or felt liner can reclassify your products for lower tariff rates, plus when this optimization makes sense vs. when it backfiresVietnam vs. other manufacturing hubs – Where Vietnam excels (textiles, wood goods, furniture), what to expect for pricing and quality, and why MOQs are higher than ChinaDe minimis rules and bonded warehouses – How the $800 shipment exemption still works (except for China), and when custom bonded warehouses can turn a 30% tariff hit into manageable cash flowCountry of origin compliance – The "substantial transformation" rule, why trans-shipment will get you caught with 50% more audits happening, and how to properly document manufacturingWhether you're considering your first move away from China or optimizing an existing diversified supply chain, this episode provides the roadmap to do it right without the costly compliance mistakes that are tripping up other brands.

Michael Falls of Reveel & Jennifer Mitchell of GOAT Group talk about tariffs, network design, SKU analysis, carrier negotiation and decision intelligence.  IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [02.22] An introduction to Michael, his background, and what excites him about supply chain. “Work smarter, not harder – that's what I'm passionate about. There's great technology out there that shippers can leverage, but so many people are still working out of spreadsheets. That hasn't changed as rapidly in our industry as it has in others.” [03.49] An overview of Reveel, who they are, and what they do. “Our CEO always says that modeling is the hill we're going to die on. We have a lot of tools in our repertoire that are different to a lot of the other analytics tools on the market.” [04.36] An introduction to Jennifer, her background, and her company GOAT Group. [05.58] An overview of the current tariff landscape, and how businesses are approaching adaptability and cost impacts. “We're now in a period where shippers have a new normal, which is: we don't know what the future will hold, but we know we're going to have to adapt to change.” “Now there's a very public conversation around who absorbs the cost of tariffs. Tariffs are here to stay. The question is: are consumers going to pay for them, or are companies going to absorb the cost and use that as a competitive advantage?” [07.55] How tariffs have impacted GOAT Group, and why increased tariffs for China are driving up apparel costs and forcing companies to rethink their manufacturing locations. [09.07] From cost volatility to the impact of the unknown, the biggest negative impacts, driven by the current tariff landscape, for shippers. “It's ever-changing. The minute you make a decision to do something, it changes and you're back to square one.” [11.34] Network design and optimization, and why shippers need intelligence, agility, and a strategic command of their shipping network to manage current volatility. [14.28] How network design and optimization can help companies to design more efficient distribution strategies, what those strategies might look like, and the positive impact they can have for shippers. [15.16] How SKU profitability analysis can help businesses identify problem products and make more informed decisions on their portfolio. “There's much more that you can do with SKU level insights than just explore profitability.” [17.13] Why contract negotiations have changed, and how Reveel can help to simulate ‘what-if' scenarios and compare carrier performance so shippers can push for reductions or pivot. “You can't manage what you don't measure. So we empower our customers to measure all the KPIs that are going to impact their transportation spend.” “The duopoly is over!.. Carrier contract negotiation is becoming an ongoing activity.” [20.07] The importance of flexibility and expanding carrier options to reduce dependency, lower cost, and improve customer experience. “Flexibility is crucial… Customers expect more from delivery, they expect it faster, more personalized. The bigger carriers are very rigid in what they do and a lot of these emerging carriers have more flexibility, they're more customizable to your company.” [21.23] Why, when tariffs are out of our control, intelligence is the best defence, how companies can use intelligence to stay competitive, and why parcel spend management can be an organizations competitive advantage in an unpredictable global market. “There's so much noise. Carrier billing data has hundreds of elements, it's not normalized… Having a shipping intelligence platform helps arm you with the most important insights at a glance.” “A lot of shippers are just resigned to this belief that the carriers are going to do what the carriers are going to do, and we have to sit back and take it… But I would say that any shipper has between 5-30% of spend that's available to be eliminated.” [23.47] The ideal client for Reveel, and the types of clients they're currently onboarding most. [24.41] GOAT group's experience with onboarding and implementation with Reveel. [25.52] The biggest challenges GOAT Group were experiencing, why they chose to work with Reveel, and the benefits they see from their ongoing partnership. [27.38] In a constantly evolving market, what shippers might expect over the next few months. “The only thing we know for sure is that more change is coming!.. But the shippers that have the best data, the best data-driven insights, and the best technology are ultimately the ones that are going to come out ahead.” RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Reveel's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

Problematic stakeholders could be convinced if they... just got data. Right? Nope. Sometimes it's deeper than that. You gotta understand what makes them tick. Is it data? Is it optics?

Leave it to "Kingpin" Finn McKenty, who's apparently gone from Punk Rock MBA to Finn McKenty PhD, to change my mind.We got into:- How YouTubers are more data driven than your own CEO (lol)- Why you should be running heuristic audits not JUST on your website, but on the stakeholders you interact with (and tips to do so effectively)- Finn gives some general life advice on learning to let go (important when many product and CROs don't have autonomy to actually impact anything)Timestamps:00:00 Episode Start2:46  The analogy of CRO and "Gym" goes so deep6:25 Even YouTubers are data driven11:20 People who don't buy into “experimentation” just optimize for different metrics than you14:28 Psychology of UXers vs. Product/CRO (Finn low key is a psychologist now)20:01 Running heuristic audits on… stakeholders?

In this episode of the Lone Star Capital podcast, Craig McGrouther and I sit down with Sam Morris to discuss the significant positive shifts happening in the multifamily market after three challenging years. We reveal how our property insurance costs just dropped 32% at renewal, potentially adding millions in property value and increasing investor distributions by nearly 1%. We share exciting success stories from our portfolio, including record-breaking collections at multiple properties and Preserve at Copperleaf achieving an incredible 234 paid-up units out of 238 possible. Our conversation also explores why deal flow remains challenging in 2025 despite these improving fundamentals, with San Antonio seeing only six transactions in Q1 with an average property vintage of 1972, highlighting the persistent bid-ask spread gap in the market.Apply to attend the LSC Summit 2025:www.lscsummit.com Download our FREE Passive Investor Guide:https://www.lscre.com/content/passive-investor-guide Subscribe to our newsletter and get the FREE Underwriting Toolkit:https://www.lscre.com/resource/fof-underwriting-toolkitLearn more about Lone Star Capital:www.lscre.comFollow me on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-beardsleyRead my latest articles:https://www.lscre.com/blog

We're told constantly to level up, hustle harder, and become the best version of ourselves. But what if this relentless pursuit of self-optimization is actually keeping us from the peace and purpose we're seeking? In a culture that treats exhaustion as a status symbol and measures worth by productivity, many of us are burning out while chasing an impossible standard of perfection. This sermon by Pastor Heidi Mills explores an ancient alternative to our modern obsession with doing more and being better. Through the lens of a profound moment in Jesus's life, we'll discover how creating space for rest, practicing presence, and embracing our imperfections might be the real path to transformation—not the kind that comes from grinding harder, but the kind that happens when we finally stop trying to optimize ourselves into oblivion. Whether you're drowning in your to-do list, feeling guilty about not doing enough, or just exhausted from trying to upgrade every aspect of your life, this might offer a different way forward.

In this episode, I talk with David Lindner about Myopic Optimization with Non-myopic Approval, or MONA, which attempts to address (multi-step) reward hacking by myopically optimizing actions against a human's sense of whether those actions are generally good. Does this work? Can we get smarter-than-human AI this way? How does this compare to approaches like conservativism? Listen to find out.

Think you can outwit a dragon with a fake bridge and a charisma check? Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast episode where illusions kill, confusion reigns, and disbelief is just a failed Will save away. Show Notes: In this spellbinding episode, the RPGBOT crew explores the mischievous magic of illusions, where what you see may not be what you get—and what you don't see might still sucker-punch your barbarian. Between tactical breakdowns and spontaneous chipmunk tangents, the hosts weave a chaotic yet surprisingly informative tapestry of illusion mechanics, storytelling antics, and system comparisons between Pathfinder 2e, D&D 5e, and even a detour through Final Fantasy materia mechanics. The episode begins with a healthy dose of banter and battlefield survival strategies (spoiler: bolas are back in fashion), before veering headfirst into the world of illusion magic. Expect spirited debates about phantasms, the value of disbelief, and whether players should be required to announce, “I squint suspiciously at the air in front of me” before they're allowed a Will save. From chipmunks being bullied out of neighborhoods by thug squirrels, to Gandalf being played by Fozzie Bear, this episode is a chaotic celebration of how illusion and disguise mechanics shape storytelling, humor, and heartbreak at the gaming table. Plus: learn why DMs should occasionally pretend not to know what's happening... even when they wrote the plot twist. And yes—someone actually asks the important question: “Is it really a good illusion if it doesn't accidentally start a bar fight?” Key Takeaways: Character death matters—especially when caused by a flaming imaginary bridge. Optimization tips: Use bolas. No, seriously. They're hilarious and effective. Chipmunks are rare because squirrels have anger issues. Illusions are not just for mischief—they can dramatically shift combat and story if used (and ruled) well. Phantasms can cause real damage... and even real friendship-ending debates. DMs need to balance illusions to avoid turning a boss fight into a Scooby-Doo episode. Pathfinder 2e provides more clarity on disbelieving illusions than 5e, which mostly says "good luck, champ." Disguises are not illusions, but they can lead to awkward social interactions at royal balls. Illusions can enhance roleplay, story arcs, and character drama—but they need DM discretion. Session zero is a great place to ask, “How weird can my illusions get before the game breaks?” Improvisation is key: Illusions don't always follow the script. Neither should the DM. Muppet recasting of Tolkien characters is an important use of podcast time. Kermit as Frodo. Fozzie as Gandalf. Sam remains unchanged. Materias in Final Fantasy are weird, wild, and somehow relevant to this conversation. Illusions shouldn't ruin the fun—just complicate it in hilarious and meaningful ways. Players rarely remember to ‘study' illusions, so DMs must choose whether to be kind... or let them walk face-first into the dragon's tail. Game mechanics are weird, but that's half the fun. Communication is everything—especially when you're lying to your DM with a straight face.

Ryan McCormack, Director of Operational Readiness and Optimization at The Wawanesa Mutual Company, joined Jamie Flinchbaugh on the People Solve Problems podcast to discuss his approach to problem-solving in organizations. Ryan has spent over two decades seeking to understand and apply principles that enrich the working lives of people in large organizations, with experience spanning manufacturing, healthcare, management consulting, and insurance. Ryan explained that his role in problem solving shifts depending on circumstances, but primarily involves consulting and facilitation. He leads a team of problem solvers and determines how hands-on or hands-off to be based on the capability of people who own the problem and the complexity of the issue. Ryan learned to start by asking questions to understand these factors before deciding whether to take ownership or develop others' skills. When evaluating his team's capacity to solve problems, Ryan focuses on finding people who have the will and joy for problem-solving—qualities he believes are difficult to teach. His team development strategy centers on a mix of technical problem-solving skills, people skills, and consulting abilities. Rather than keeping people on his team permanently, Ryan prefers to rotate members in and out, giving them skills they can take back to the organization. He measures his career success not by projects completed but by seeing people he's developed go on to leadership roles. For effective collaboration, Ryan emphasized the importance of having a shared problem that everyone is desperate to solve. Without genuine alignment, collaboration becomes artificial. He shared a pragmatic insight that includes actively resistant people on problem-solving teams who have "worked 0% of the time" in his experience. He also highlighted the crucial role of sponsorship, noting that while most leaders believe they're great sponsors, few actually are, and some can't resist taking over the problem. When addressing root cause analysis in knowledge work, he pointed out unique challenges. Unlike manufacturing environments, knowledge work involves "decision factories" where the quality of decisions is rarely measured. Traditional techniques like asking why five times are less effective in these settings. Ryan's approach starts with understanding the decision-making process and establishing what quality looks like. He noted that in complex organizations, almost no one actually understands how decisions are made, making it difficult to assess root causes without first agreeing on what constitutes quality. Ryan lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba with his wife and daughter.

The Coaching Equation Podcast - Fast Five Friday: Growth, Optimization & Leadership Transformation**[00:00] **Welcome Back: Growth and Expansion Focus Ryan sets the stage for a power-packed Fast Five Friday centered on the driving force behind both personal and professional transformation—growth never stops demanding your attention.**[01:15] **Greatness Never Goes on Sale The truth bomb: there's no "arrival moment" where everything gets easier. It's a constant battle, and that's actually comforting. Rory Vaden's wisdom: "Success is never owned, it's rented, and the rent is due every day." Stop waiting for the Memorial Day sale on excellence.**[04:30] **What Are You Optimizing For? The obsession-worthy question that changes everything. Ryan's revelation with his wife: they'd been optimizing for goals that no longer served them. Better to fail at the new standard that serves your current self than succeed at the old standard serving yesterday's version of you.**[08:45] **Lewis Carroll's Identity Truth Bomb "It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then." We're evolving daily at a cellular level—personalities, goals, desires, everything. Stop living in the rearview mirror and beating yourself up for past decisions. You're either going forward or backward, never stagnant.**[12:20] **Your Clients Have All The Answers The week's revelation: no one seems to be asking their customers anything. Four to five business questions answered this week with "go ask your people." Survey for results, satisfaction levels, current problems. Test hooks and titles on your list. The answers you're desperately seeking are right in front of you.**[15:45] **Elite Practitioner to Transformational Leader The biggest shift coaches must make as business owners—and the one very few ever make. It's not about chasing marketing tactics; it's about identity transformation. Focus on "who" first, then "what." Even if you're leading a business of one, this shift changes everything.**[18:30] **Vail Event: A Dream Come True Next Thursday in the Garden of Eden (Vail, Colorado in summer).

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology, and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. In this week's episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Angelo Keely, nutrition and protein optimization enthusiast.  Together, they dive into the powerful, science-backed role of protein and amino acids in supporting women's health—especially in midlife and beyond. Angelo unpacks why protein needs actually increase with age, particularly for women going through menopause. From fighting muscle loss (sarcopenia) to supporting bone health, metabolism, and mood, getting enough high-quality protein is essential—but often overlooked. You'll learn smart strategies to meet your protein goals without overeating, the key differences between protein powders and essential amino acids (EAAs), and how targeted supplements like creatine and EAAs can dramatically boost muscle and cognitive health—even without intense workouts. They also address the risks of rapid weight loss with GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Zepbound), and how pairing these with resistance training and amino acid support can help preserve lean mass and vitality. Topics We Cover in This Episode: Why women over 40 need more protein, not less How sarcopenia sneaks in—and how to stop it High-protein food tips: egg whites, Greek yogurt, lean meats & more EAAs vs. protein powder: what your body really absorbs NASA studies, amino acids & maintaining muscle without exercise Creatine for women: not just for gym bros GLP-1s & supporting strong muscles when taking it Simple, sustainable tips for strong, energized aging You can find more about Angelo and KION and about the Aminos product we speak about in this epsiode by visiting getkion.com/lovely (and there is a 20% off code - LOVELY) “Breathe.

“I think both of those things are problematic—both that we've optimized too many things and that it's our sole worldview,” says Coco Krumme, applied mathematician and author of Optimal Illusions: The False Promise of Optimization. Today, we talk about what we lose by prioritizing optimization above all else—and what we could gain by choosing something else. We also talk about why Krumme thinks the threat of surveillance capitalism is overblown, and why she's more optimistic about what humans can do than what AI can do.
