The Chuds were right again. The Doctor Who Christmas Special is canceled, showrunner Russel T Davies and Bad Wolf are ousted and now the BBC is shopping around for a new production company -- i.e. it's being OUTSOURCED.

My youngest daughter, who is supremely intelligent, refuses to use AI. She doesn't want it plagiarising her, she says, and she doesn't want her mind to get lazy. She's currently taking her finals at Cambridge, where, she tells me, almost everybody is using it for everything. But she won't. And good for her.Another friend won't touch it either, because she is so fiercely protective of her privacy and doesn't like AI and social media having so much access to our inner lives. But these people are exceptions. Almost everyone I know is now using AI constantly.I am a prime offender.I use it to make trivial decisions. I get it to draft emails and messages that are too sapping to write myself. I've used it to draft contracts that would otherwise have cost me thousands in legal fees. I use it to summarise research papers and articles, evaluate investments, plan trips and organise logistics. It's a great sounding board. It helps me proof read these articles, does the pics and writes all the SEO stuff I can't pretend to understand.It is my personal trainer, and tells me what exercises to do. Yesterday I got it to analyse my body fat from a photograph. I've even had it analyse my stools.Last year (and the year before, and the year before that), I was stuck in a toxic relationship I couldn't seem to break out of, even after we separated. At one point I thought I was going mad. I eventually uploaded our entire WhatsApp exchanges into AI and asked it to tell me WTF was going on. I discovered I have “fixer bias” she was an “anxious attachment avoidant”, or something like that, and the combination of the two types is highly toxic and addictive. Finally, I understood why I couldn't break out of the loop, and what I now had to do to move on.My mother uses it non-stop as well, and it has become a brilliant companion to her.My son and daughter-in-law, both of whom I live with, constantly take the mickey out of me because I've become so dependent on it.One of my faults, and there are many, has always been that I give my power away too easily, especially in negotiation. I worry too much about upsetting people or creating friction. Using AI has helped me phrase things, removed my stupid ego from the conversation, helped establish boundaries, not made me look needy or arrogant, stopped me saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong moment. As a result I have closed several deals and opportunities over the past year that I simply wouldn't have managed previously. I wouldn't have known what to say. I would have held back, worried about rubbing someone up the wrong way. Instead, everyone walked away happy.But it's not just me. I've noticed many others doing it too. When I travelled to Namibia recently, the trip was logistically complex. I spoke to the travel agent almost every other day. Being lazy, I got AI to write my messages to her, but I saw she was doing it back to me. I knew what she was doing and she probably knew what I was doing. It didn't matter, the important thing was the trip. Neither of our egos got in the way, and the trip went without a hitch.Which got me thinking.Never mind the looming political and financial crises, or the various civilisational catastrophes currently unfolding, at grassroots level, something quietly significant is happening: more and more people are using AI to advise, negotiate, communicate and make decisions. Outcomes are improving as a result.If more and more people consistently make better decisions, the cumulative effect of all these better outcomes will be enormous. Better decisions, better communication, fewer conflicts, fewer bad deals, fewer toxic relationships dragged out past their natural end. The incremental gains, multiplied across enough people, look genuinely civilisational.Subscribe to this amazing publication.The really profound shift is not that AI writes emails, and makes you generally more productive. We have always “outsourced” cognition. Writing outsourced memory. Calculators outsourced maths. SatNavs outsourced navigation. AI is outsourcing judgement itself.I was actually considering reaching out to somebody recently. AI advised me not to, and when it explained why, I realised it was right. Contacting them would have been selfish and unfair.Now, obviously, there are downsides.By relying on AI, parts of the brain undoubtedly atrophy. I used to remember phone numbers effortlessly. Now I barely know anybody's number because my phone remembers for me. The same thing happened with memory generally. Human beings once had extraordinary recall because they had to memorise stories, events and oral histories. Writing killed that. I had a good sense of direction, which I barely tap now I have Google Maps et al. AI will also increase manipulation, cowardice and passivity. As individuals we become weaker and dependent. Eyesight was probably better before we invented glasses.There is also something deeply unsettling about a computer programmed by someone anonymous who isn't you helping make your decisions for you. Part of living is making wrong decisions, suffering the consequences and learning not to repeat them. But frankly, I'm done with bad decisions. I've made enough wrong decisions for one life. I'm 56 now. I just want to make optimum choices and have a really good next three or four decades, or however long I've got left.There are also obvious dystopian implications. AI companies now potentially have access to thoughts, fears, fantasies and private conversations that once existed only inside your own head. What happens when AI records become admissible evidence? What happens when the things you've confided to a chatbot are subpoenaed? These are not hypothetical worries. They are coming.

I think we are officially living in the era of outsourced opinions.People don't experience things anymore… they inherit opinions about things.This episode starts with my continued obsession with Drake's ICEMAN and why I genuinely believe it may be his best overall body of work. Songs like “Shabang,” “2 HARD 4 THE RADIO,” “National Treasures,” “Janice STFU” and especially “Make Them Remember” somehow keep getting BETTER the more I listen to them.But what confuses me is how many people — even self-proclaimed Drake fans — already decided:“Drake fell off.”Which led me into a much bigger conversation about how modern discourse works.Because the same thing is happening to SGA.Back-to-back MVP.Three straight years as the one seed in the Western Conference.Elite consistency.And somehow the dominant narrative is still:“free throw merchant.”Which naturally brings me back to Steph Curry discourse, Luka contradictions, and eventually James Harden — whose “playoff choker” label may have started under completely flawed logic considering he was mostly losing to the SAME Warriors dynasty people say nobody could beat.This episode is really about:groupthinknarrative cultureanti-dominance fatigueinternet consensusselective logicand why people seem less interested in thinking independently nowWe discuss:why ICEMAN feels different emotionallywhy replay value matters more than first reactionswhy people build logic around conclusions instead of conclusions around logicDrake & SGA parallelsSteph's whistleLuka's contradictionsHarden's unfair historical framingand why sustained greatness now creates exhaustion instead of admirationSome people don't listen to music anymore…they listen to reactions to music.Some people don't watch basketball anymore…they watch narratives about basketball.

I'm unpacking a pattern I keep seeing with smart, successful entrepreneurs who are doing everything right, and still ending up burned out, stuck, or even making less money. I dive into what really happens when you commit to a business model that was never designed for you, and why following "proven" strategies can quietly pull you further away from your strengths. I also share a very personal behind-the-scenes look at my own business evolution: what I changed, what I got wrong, and the moment I realized I had built something that didn't actually fit me. If you've ever questioned your direction, your decisions, or your ability to grow, this episode will help you reframe what's really going on, and show you a way forward that actually works for you. Top Quotes from This Episode "They didn't end up worse because they were lazy or gave up. They ended up worse because they were good students of the wrong formula." "If you hired a coach, followed everything they said, and it didn't work… that's not a personal failure. It's a diagnostic failure." "You can be working harder than ever, putting in more time, more money, more effort, and still be going a hundred miles per hour in the wrong direction." "At some point, you stop trusting yourself… because you've outsourced your instincts and let someone else become the CEO of your business." "It's not that you're incapable of building a successful business. It's that you've been trying to force yourself into a model that was never designed for you."

307: Scaling Your Design Business: Benefits of Outsourced Help With me today is Danae Branson, founder of Elite Design Assistants, a virtual assistant agency providing professional virtual design support to interior designers. She is also the owner of Niche Mavin, a freelance gig-based platform serving professionals in interior design, architecture, construction, and real estate. In today's conversation, we're focusing on the benefits of hiring a virtual assistant—whether as ongoing team support or as a flexible, fill-in resource during busy seasons. You'll learn how to assess your needs, determine when it's time to bring in support, and how partnering with a virtual design assistant can help you deliver exceptional design services to your clients. Topics Mentioned: Benefits of Hiring Contractors Fractional Support Cost vs Efficiency Key Thoughts: Working with experienced professionals when subcontracting makes a difference in continuing service levels. There can be a trade-off between cost and efficiency based on the person you hire. Contractors can be beneficial, especially for short-term surges in work or when a business owner needs temporary relief from overwhelming tasks. Virtual Design Assistants (VDAs) can fill in gaps due to maternity leave, medical leave or hiring delays.

What if your lowest ACoS strategy is secretly slowing your growth? Hear why simple ads win, hidden revenue gets missed, and sellers are rethinking Amazon PPC at the Prosper Show live. Are you optimizing your Amazon ads for efficiency while accidentally capping your growth? In this live episode from Prosper Show in Las Vegas, Carrie Miller sits down with Destaney Wishon to unpack one of the biggest mindset shifts sellers need to make with PPC: low ACoS does not always mean smart growth. Together, they explore what happens when sellers move from outsourcing their ads to understanding them more deeply themselves, and why that transition can feel both intimidating and empowering. The conversation also ties into Helium 10 Ads Academy's Outsourced to Optimized series, which was designed to help sellers take more control over their advertising strategy. The conversation digs into the real decisions that separate reactive ad management from intentional strategy. Carrie shares the fear many Amazon sellers have of losing control of spend, hurting TACoS, or making the wrong changes too quickly. Destaney explains why focusing on just one KPI can be dangerous, especially when certain high-cost keywords are still essential for organic rank, brand visibility, and long-term momentum. They also break down how tools, bid rules, keyword harvesting, and filtering can help sellers manage campaigns more confidently without spending all day managing their Amazon PPC. Another standout takeaway is how many brands are still missing major ad opportunities hiding in plain sight. Carrie and Destaney talk about the value of Sponsored Brands, overlooked campaigns that were quietly driving revenue, and why simple creatives often outperform expensive video productions. They also show how AI tools are making ad testing faster, cheaper, and more accessible than ever. To close the episode, Shivali and Carrie share quick Prosper Show conversations with Jeffrey Anderson, Parker Swanson, and Colin Raja, offering fresh perspectives on Amazon PPC mistakes, rising competition, and the operational habits that are helping brands grow faster today.

Send me a messageWhat if voluntary carbon markets are either a vital climate tool... or a polished excuse to delay real decarbonisation?In this episode of Climate Confident, I'm joined by Dr Jennifer Jenkins, Chief Science Officer at Rubicon Carbon, to unpack one of the most contested questions in climate tech and net zero strategy: what role, if any, should voluntary carbon markets play in real-world emissions reduction? At a time when companies are under pressure to decarbonise, prove integrity, and navigate fast-moving policy shifts, this debate matters more than ever.We dig into why some firms see carbon credits as a practical way to close the gap between ambition and operational reality, and why others see them as a dangerous distraction. You'll hear why quality, additionality, MRV, and long-term offtake agreements are becoming central to the future of the market, and why high-integrity supply may be far tighter than many buyers realise.Jennifer also explains how buyers like Microsoft are shaping demand, how voluntary and compliance markets may be starting to converge, and why policy tools like CBAM could reshape the market faster than most people expect. You might be shocked to learn that one of the clearest ways to think about this space is as outsourced mitigation, a framing that makes the economics easier to grasp, but also exposes the credibility problem at the heart of the whole system.
#836 Want to turn 25¢ postage into a $1,000+ profit mailer — without ever touching a single postcard? In this cross-promoted interview from Nick Loper's The Side Hustle Show, Nick sits down with Dalton Joyner and Rachel Smith of Big Sky Automation to break down a surprisingly profitable twist on Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM): selling shared postcard ad space to local businesses. They explain how they shrunk their mailings to hyper-targeted neighborhoods (around 2,500 homes) to keep costs low, then filled each card with up to 16 advertisers at around $150 per spot — creating a repeatable extra-income model with strong retention. You'll hear how they land advertisers (Facebook Messenger, email, and smart targeting like Valpak), why category exclusivity is a huge selling point, how they outsource printing + bundling so they never touch the postcards, and how this “shared advertising” offer can become the perfect foot-in-the-door lead generator for higher-ticket services! What Nick discusses with Dalton and Rachel: + Every Door Direct Mail model + Shared postcard advertising + $150 per advertiser slot + 2,500-home targeted mailings + Category exclusivity advantage + Facebook Messenger outreach + Outsourced printing + fulfillment + $1,000+ profit per mailer + 60–70% advertiser retention + Foot-in-door agency lead strategy Thank you, Nick, Dalton, and Rachel!

When credit markets seize up in crisis periods, most people still blame the banks. But new research suggests the bigger pullback may come from nonbanks like those in the syndicated loan market. These have grown fast but remain fragile, cutting lending harder in times of stress – with negative consequences on employment. That shift could reshape how we think about crises, jobs and financial resilience. HEC Assistant Professor in Finance Quirin Fleckenstein explores these issues as part of his research into macro-finance, financial intermediation, and corporate finance.

Beispiele: Versicherungsbroker fällt in Outsourced + Intelligenz, NDAs werden als spezialisiertes Outsourcing gesehen. Die Einordnung hilft bei der Priorisierung von Markt-Chancen, Personalplanung und go-to-market-Strategien.

Tiny Revival Co. is an ethically sourced clothing company backed by a life-saving mission. Lauren Holland is the founder of this remarkable organization, and she hopes to bring awareness to victims of human trafficking and labor trafficking - women and children who are often hurt and abused by the “fast fashion” industry. Outsourced clothing factories overseas enslave women who are forced to work in dangerous working conditions in order to provide for their families. Often, these women face unthinkable sexual and physical violence and abuse. Every purchase from Tiny Revival Co. helps provide safety and security for trafficked women and children. Lauren discusses the power of returning dignity to someone who has been victimized and your purchase helps them restore their identity. TAKEAWAYS The market responds to behavior - shop ethically and let your personal convictions guide you We can prepare our children to meet the wickedness of the world by modeling empathy and kindness Children will develop a natural sense of justice and compassion if they see godly attributes modeled at home A safe environment allows victims of trafficking to be vulnerable and to address their trauma

What if the Great Fire of London wasn't a tragic accident… but a designed event? This Sunday, Feb 8th, researcher Gloria Moss joins us to peel back the layers of 1666 — a year that quietly reshaped Britain's power structure, legal system, and even its population. The official story is simple. Too simple. And the deeper you look, the stranger it gets. We explore the possibility that the Great Fire wasn't just a blaze… but a reset. Topics to explore:
Most CRE teams are not losing deals because of capital, talent, or market access. They are losing because they move too slowly because initial underwriting and deal marketing are still painfully manual across much of the industry. Spreadsheets. Templates. Design tools. Email chains. Outsourced vendors. All stitched together by habit. That friction costs time, and time costs deals. In my latest AI/CRE Demo Day show Anton Zajac, CEO of IntellCRE, demonstrates (onscreen) what happens when those bottlenecks disappear. What stood out immediately: BOVs and OMs that once took 20+ hours can be produced in minutes Initial underwriting and marketing stop being separate workflows Small teams gain enterprise-level output capacity Deal marketing becomes proactive, not reactive IntellCRE automates the unglamorous middle of CRE work: data aggregation, comps, market context, financials, and presentation. The result is not just speed. It's a pure, AI driven competitive advantage. Some questions the platform answers clearly: What if initial deal screening was no longer the bottleneck? What if marketing output scaled without adding staff? What if BOVs became a prospecting weapon instead of a sunk cost? What changes when responsiveness becomes your edge? If you work in brokerage, acquisitions, or high-volume CRE investing and speed matters to you, this is worth seeing. Not a concept. Not a slide deck. A genuine AI platform specifically designed for CRE pros. Trust me (I'm a doctor) this is worth a look. *** At GowerCrowd, we are aggressively researching AI tools you can actually use and that bring real, immediate value to your business.

Rich Nuzum is head of OCIO at Franklin Templeton. He joined Franklin Templeton from Mercer where he spent more than three decades providing investment consulting advice to institutional investors. Nuzum holds an MBA in analytic finance and accounting from the University of Chicago and a bachelor's degree in mathematical sciences and mathematical economic analysis from Rice University. Rich also did graduate work in international economics at Tokyo University. Our conversation starts with Rich's upbringing and growing up with his parents as school teachers. He describes how he came upon finance as a career, and the impact of the time spent in Tokyo studying economics, one of the most difficult academic paths he has ever navigated. We speak then about his various phases in investment consulting which saw some movements to head up different areas, some planned and some serendipitous. We turn then to the concept of Outsourced CIO (OCIO) serviced and how this service offering has evolved in recent years – often to be less of a complete substitute for an investment team and more of an adjacent set of complementary skills at times. We discuss the global experience of OCIO adoption and where the future integration of this might lie. This podcast is kindly sponsored by Evanston Capital and Alvine Capital. For over 20 years Evanston Capital has had a key focus in identifying early-stage investment managers it believes are capable of generating long-term, value-added returns in complex, innovative strategy areas.

Learn how to take back control of your Amazon PPC, fix costly agency mistakes, and use rules-based ads plus new Sponsored Products video formats to scale profitably on Amazon. In this episode of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley dives into one of the biggest pitfalls he sees Amazon sellers fall into: handing their PPC over to an agency before they truly understand how advertising works. That loss of control doesn't just cost money; it keeps you in the dark on whether your campaigns are actually growing your brand or quietly draining profits in the background. To prove it, he spotlights a real case study from the new Helium 10 Outsourced to Optimized series. Helium 10's own Carrie Miller and Destaney Wishon from BetterAMS walk through what happened when they opened Carrie's account: profitable campaigns randomly shut off, creatives that didn't match search intent, and VCPM display campaigns that looked like rock stars in the dashboard but weren't driving incremental sales. From there, they rebuild the entire strategy on the fundamentals: a clean campaign structure, SKUs grouped intelligently, 10-30 targets per campaign, and rules-based bid management tied to real business objectives, such as organic rank, BSR, and strict ACoS targets. Throughout the conversation, you'll see how a self-described “non-PPC person” can learn to manage sophisticated Amazon ads with the help of Helium 10 Ads and their Ads Academy training. Destaney shows Carrie how to utilize bid rules, keyword harvesting, negative targeting, and Amazon's newer tools, such as Creative Studio and Sponsored Products video ads, without turning PPC into a full-time job. They also break down off-season strategies, what to fix when you're getting impressions but no conversions, and how much of your revenue should realistically flow back into ads. The big takeaway: whether you keep an agency, lean on software, or run everything yourself, you need to understand the basics of Amazon PPC so you can keep partners accountable and finally take back control of your Amazon advertising. In episode 479 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley, Carrie, and Destaney discuss: 00:00 – Introduction 05:48 – Carrie's Amazon PPC Agency Issues 07:19 – Carrie Learns PPC From Scratch 10:23 – Rules-Based Bidding With Helium 10 Ads 14:24 – When To Automate Your Amazon Ads 18:11 – Scalable Campaign Structure For Sellers 23:16 – Single-Keyword Campaigns & Dayparting 28:36 – Keyword-Specific Creatives & Creative Studio 30:54 – Off-Season Strategy & Fixing Conversions 33:08 – Sponsored Product Video Ads Launch 36:00 – Scaling Benchmarks & Ad Spend Targets 40:09 – Final PPC Lessons & Next Step

As Israel’s Gaza City offensive intensifies, the lack of a “fully articulated policy” on the part of Donald Trump’s White House means that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can move ahead with a “blank check” from the U.S., said Haaretz Washington correspondent Ben Samuels, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast. The message from Trump officials to Israel is “do what you need to do, just get it over with fast,” while in public statements, they have shifted to align with Israel’s “all-or-nothing” approach to a hostage deal. “Trump is not giving Israel a red light,” Samuels said. “To Israel, that means a green light.” On the podcast, Samuels analyzed the dramatic shifts in both the Republican and Democratic parties regarding Israel ahead of the 2026 midterms, predicting that the upcoming election will “be the one where Israel becomes a top-tier front-of-mind issue that could really divide voters and could really sway races one way or another” in both of the parties. With the GOP in particular, he noted, “a growing number of mainstream Republicans, along with the isolationist MAGA wing are openly asking, ‘Why are our dollars going to funding a foreign war rather than making the lives better for Americans at home?’” Democrats, he added, “are just not going to take what Israel's saying at face value anymore.” All of this contributes, he said, to the “inflection point” at which American Jews find themselves nearly two years into the Gaza war. “I think we are going to look at this as a foundational shift in how this generation and the next views the U.S.-Israel relationship, as well as the relationship of American Jews to Israel.” Read more: 'They Tend to Die': Trump Says Israel, Hamas May Sign Gaza Cease-fire Deal 'Very Soon,' and Repeated That Some of the Living Hostages May Have Died Trump Says Israel Has Lost Its 'Total Control' of Congress, Is Losing PR War Over Gaza The Dam Has Broken.

Experts are still in the early stages of understanding just how much generative AI will disrupt the labor force. A new report by MIT finds that the adoption of AI led some firms to cut back spending on jobs that were often already being outsourced — things like customer support, software engineering, and administrative tasks. We'll learn more. Also: the dollar's role as the world's "reserve currency" and a $2 billion lifeline for Intel.
