Show Notes: In this thought-provoking episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, I sit down with Charley, a visionary leader whose personal and professional evolution exemplifies what it means to lead with awareness and purpose. We begin by exploring Charley's roots—his upbringing in Utah, a deeply unique religious foundation, and the life-shaping mentorship of a profoundly enlightened teacher. These early experiences ignited Charley's pursuit of understanding across multiple spiritual traditions, laying the groundwork for his future leadership role as a Chief Consciousness Officer (CCO). The Rise of Conscious Leadership Charley and I delve into why organizations today need to make the shift from reactive, unconscious practices to intentional, conscious operations. As a CCO, Charley champions the integration of awareness into business strategy—helping companies move away from performative wellness and toward environments where authenticity, compassion, and clarity are the norm. We also confront a critical workplace issue: burnout. Charley shares how burnout often stems from misalignment—between values, leadership clarity, and wellness initiatives that lack true depth. A CCO's role? To dismantle those barriers and build bridges of understanding, trust, and open communication. Overcoming Bias and Reframing Organizational Dynamics Together, we unpack the dangers of preconditioning and unconscious bias in hiring and leadership. Charley underscores the value of objective insight—approaching workplace challenges without a fixed agenda, but with curiosity and humility. As I share from my own consulting work, the best transformations often begin when we ask deeper questions and truly listen to the answers. Spiritual Intelligence in the Workplace We talk about the need for companies to embrace a broader view of employee potential—including their spiritual and personal growth. Consciousness, as Charley describes, isn't a woo-woo concept—it's a powerful, untapped resource for innovation, connection, and long-term success. My Personal Story: Reducing Turnover with Intentional Listening I share a powerful story from my own leadership journey—reducing turnover at a healthcare clinic not through quick fixes, but by fostering real dialogue. When I shifted from telling to asking—Why do you choose to work here? What would you change if you were in my shoes?—I created space for honesty, collaboration, and a wave of positive change led by the employees themselves. Creating Cultures That Thrive Charley and I agree: when organizations invest in people's growth—when leaders actually listen and allow ideas to flourish—magic happens. I highlight a real example of a former receptionist who rose to lead a clinic, all because the culture encouraged growth over conformity. Charley rounds out the discussion by offering a global perspective. He believes we're in the midst of a deep, planetary shift—not just economic or environmental, but spiritual and personal. Old paradigms won't cut it anymore. What we need now are guides—like CCOs—who can help individuals and organizations navigate this new terrain with grace and resilience. What's Next: Conscious Shifts and the Future of Leadership In the closing moments, Charley speaks to the future: generational shifts, rising consciousness, and even the possibility of contact with civilizations beyond our own. It's a bold, expansive view—but one rooted in his mission to awaken humanity, one organization at a time. This conversation is a must-listen for leaders, change-makers, and anyone curious about the intersection of spirituality, consciousness, and business.

Stop playing it safe—embrace the bold, unexpected traits that actually get you ahead. Success doesn't come to those who wait—it comes to those who take it. For years, you've been told to be humble, play nice, and wait your turn. Jenny Wood says that's exactly why so many talented people stay stuck. As a former Google executive turned author of Wild Courage: Go After What You Want and Get It, she's here to expose the real traits that drive success—ones that might make you uncomfortable.

### Overcoming Bias in Client Interactions In this episode of "Insurance Business Babes," Joanna Wyckoff shares a challenging incident where a client was unwilling to engage with her assistant due to racial bias. This underscores the ongoing issues of discrimination that persist even in professional settings. Joanna emphasizes the importance of her office process, where clients must communicate with her assistant for scheduling—allowing her to focus on more critical insurance matters. ### Leveraging Technology for Scheduling and Retention Kathe suggests tools like Calendly for online scheduling, yet Joanna points out that some clients still prefer or are unaware of these digital methods. Kathe's alternative approach to managing her workload includes reserving these mid-week breaks for personal and administrative tasks. This practice helps her maintain work-life balance, ensuring she never disrupts personal time unless absolutely necessary. ### Managing Appointments Efficiently The hosts discuss the benefits of consolidating multiple appointments in a single day rather than spreading them across the week. Kathe's extensive experience building and selling businesses gives her unique insights on client retention, particularly during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. Highlighting the importance of owning communication systems, Kathe prefers owning her own VoIP services to avoid complications when changing firms. ### Tackling the Data Management Challenge Owning one's client data in your CRM is crucial in the insurance industry, notes Joanna, who has faced difficulties in data export during company switches. Regulations require keeping call recordings for ten years; therefore, effective data management tools like RingCentral and Dialpad ensure compliance while managing workload efficiently. ### Prioritizing Tasks During AEP As the hosts discuss the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), Joanna recommends transforming thoughts and tasks into checklists to stay organized. Both hosts rely on digital calendars to manage their schedules, ensuring priority tasks are completed first. They also address client needs proactively, from reviewing Medigap before or after AEP to considering additional coverage options. ### Consistent Referrals and Networking Networking remains a cornerstone of business growth for Kathe, who initially invested in groups like BNI (Business Network International). The BNI model teaches effective networking and the importance of referrals. Kathe advises continually seeking new referral partners, as current partners may leave or change careers. ### Self-Care and Avoiding Burnout Finally, Kathe emphasizes the necessity of self-care to avoid burnout during intense periods like AEP. Setting work limits and ensuring breaks for meal times can significantly increase productivity. Both hosts stress the importance of retaining existing clients, highlighting that it's easier and often more valuable than acquiring new ones. ### Conclusion “Insurance Business Babes” reminds insurance professionals of the importance of balancing professional responsibilities with personal well-being, the efficiency of managing client interactions, and the continual pursuit of networking opportunities.

In this conversation on race, Anu Gupta talks about race, bias, and solutions. Anu Gupta thinks we are all biased, and that we all need to be "Breaking Bias," every day. In this episode, he shares his story of how other people's bias almost caused him to take his life.  Anu Gupta is a renowned meditation teacher, human rights lawyer, scientist, and author of the book  "Breaking Bias.'" The discussion centers around the profound impact of biases, including Anu's personal experiences with racial 'othering' and post-9/11 Islamophobia, which led to his severe mental health struggles. He introduces the PRISM framework (Perspective-taking, Prosocial behavior, Individuation, Stereotype replacement, and Mindfulness) as a set of tools for fostering systemic change and understanding. Anu's initiative, Be More With Anu, and his call to action for greater awareness and inclusive practices highlight the steps people can take to break through their biases. Our society is experiencing a mental health crisis where too many people are "othered" because of skin color, and other differences and feel like they don't belong. By "Breaking Bias," we can increase empathy, connection, and reduce fear of differences.

As a gay immigrant of color, he came to the work of breaking bias after almost ending his life due to lifelong experiences with racism, homophobia, and Islamophobia.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Refactoring cryonics as structural brain preservation, published by Andy McKenzie on September 11, 2024 on LessWrong. I first learned about cryonics when I read Eliezer and Robin's posts about it on Overcoming Bias years ago. I got cryopilled. Somewhat amazingly to me, I'm now a researcher in this field. So I thought this community might be interested to know that I was one of several co-authors on a paper just published in Frontiers in Medical Technology, titled "Structural brain preservation: a potential bridge to future medical technologies". In this paper, we propose reframing cryonics as a type of structural brain preservation, focusing on maintaining the brain's physical structure that encodes memories and personality, rather than making the focus about low-temperature storage per se. We explore what brain structures likely need to be preserved to retain long-term memories and other valued aspects of personal identity. We then review different methods of brain preservation, including cryopreservation, aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation, fluid preservation, and fixation followed by polymer embedding. The paper also discusses the two most commonly discussed potential future revival technologies, i.e. molecular nanotechnology and whole brain emulation. We argue that this structural preservation framing may be more technically grounded and agreeable to mainstream researchers than some of the traditional ways that cryonics has been discussed. As a personal reflection here, I want to briefly discuss the idea of fluid preservation, which is one topic discussed in our review paper. I remember first reading about this idea in approximately 2017 on a cryonics mailing list. Even though I was already sold on the idea of aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation -- using fixation as a short-term bridge to cryoprotection and cryopreservation, I remember thinking that the idea of simply leaving the brain in fixative solution for the long-term was bizarre and outlandish. Around 2020-2022, I spent a good amount of time researching different options for higher temperature (and thus lower cost) brain preservation. Mostly I was looking into different methods for embedding fixed brain tissue in polymers, such as paraffin, epoxy, acrylates, or silicon. I also studied the options of dehydrated preservation and preserving the fixed brain in the fluid state, which I was mostly doing for the sake of completeness. To be clear, I certainly don't want to make it seem like this was a lone wolf effort or anything. I was talking about the ideas with friends and it was also in the zeitgeist. For example, John Smart wrote a blog post in 2020 about this, titled "Do we need a noncryogenic brain preservation prize?" (There still is no such prize.) In 2022, I was reading various papers on brain preservation (as one does), when I came across Rosoklija 2013. If I recall correctly, I had already seen this paper but was re-reading it with a different eye. They studied human and monkey brain tissue that had been preserved in formalin for periods ranging from 15 months to 55 years, using the Golgi-Kopsch silver staining method to visualize neuronal structures. They reported that even after 50 years of formalin fixation at room temperature, the method yielded excellent results. In particular, they had this figure: That's a picture showing well-impregnated neurons with preserved dendritic spines. Looking at this picture was a viewquake for me. I thought, if fluid preservation can preserve the structure of the 1-5% of cells that are stained by the Golgi-Kopsch method, why not other cells? And if it can work in this one part of the brain, why not the whole brain? And if it can do it for 50 years, why not 100 or 150? Chemically, it is not clear why there would be differences across the tissue. Aldehydes crosslin...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Robin Hanson AI X-Risk Debate - Highlights and Analysis, published by Liron on July 13, 2024 on LessWrong. This linkpost contains a lightly-edited transcript of highlights of my recent AI x-risk debate with Robin Hanson, and a written version of what I said in the post-debate analysis episode of my Doom Debates podcast. Introduction I've poured over my recent 2-hour AI x-risk debate with Robin Hanson to clip the highlights and write up a post-debate analysis, including new arguments I thought of after the debate was over. I've read everybody's feedback on YouTube and Twitter, and the consensus seems to be that it was a good debate. There were many topics brought up that were kind of deep cuts into stuff that Robin says. On the critical side, people were saying that it came off more like an interview than a debate. I asked Robin a lot of questions about how he sees the world and I didn't "nail" him. And people were saying I wasn't quite as tough and forceful as I am on other guests. That's good feedback; I think it could have been maybe a little bit less of a interview, maybe a bit more about my own position, which is also something that Robin pointed out at the end. There's a reason why the Robin Hanson debate felt more like an interview. Let me explain: Most people I debate have to do a lot of thinking on the spot because their position just isn't grounded in that many connected beliefs. They have like a few beliefs. They haven't thought that much about it. When I raise a question, they have to think about the answer for the first time. And usually their answer is weak. So what often happens, my usual MO, is I come in like Kirby. You know, the Nintendo character where I first have to suck up the other person's position, and pass their Ideological Turing test. (Speaking of which, I actually did an elaborate Robin Hanson Ideological Turing Test exercise beforehand, but it wasn't quite enough to fully anticipate the real Robin's answers.) With a normal guest, it doesn't take me that long because their position is pretty compact; I can kind of make it up the same way that they can. With Robin Hanson, I come in as Kirby. He comes in as a pufferfish. So his position is actually quite complex, connected to a lot of different supporting beliefs. And I asked him about one thing and he's like, ah, well, look at this study. He's got like a whole reinforced lattice of all these different claims and beliefs. I just wanted to make sure that I saw what it is that I'm arguing against. I was aiming to make this the authoritative followup to the 2008 Foom Debate that he had on Overcoming Bias with Eliezer Yudkowsky. I wanted to kind of add another chapter to that, potentially a final chapter, cause I don't know how many more of these debates he wants to do. I think Eliezer has thrown in the towel on debating Robin again. I think he's already said what he wants to say. Another thing I noticed going back over the debate is that the arguments I gave over the debate were like 60% of what I could do if I could stop time. I wasn't at 100% and that's simply because realtime debates are hard. You have to think of exactly what you're going to say in realtime. And you have to move the conversation to the right place and you have to hear what the other person is saying. And if there's a logical flaw, you have to narrow down that logical flaw in like five seconds. So it is kind of hard-mode to answer in realtime. I don't mind it. I'm not complaining. I think realtime is still a good format. I think Robin himself didn't have a problem answering me in realtime. But I did notice that when I went back over the debate, and I actually spent five hours on this, I was able to craft significantly better counterarguments to the stuff that Robin was saying, mostly just because I had time to understand it i...

I mean, the vast majority of interviewing is really bad.” - 00:01:30 Jordan Burton“Data-driven interviewing is about like let's actually learn about them.

Essentially, you're never even going to see high performers through a job post.” - 00:21:35 Jordan Burton“What we want to see is that when we come together as a team, we are reviewing an aggregated set of facts, of stories, of things from this person's past.” - 00:35:20 Jordan BurtonSaaS Leadership LessonsEmbrace Data Driven Decision Making in Hiring: Traditional hiring methods often rely on gut feelings and uncoordinated interviews, leading to suboptimal decisions. By implementing data driven interviewing techniques, leaders can ensure a thorough and objective assessment of candidates. This approach helps in understanding a candidate's true fit for the role by examining verifiable facts and past performances, thus reducing bias and redundancy.Craft Inspiring and Transparent Job Descriptions: Effective communication is necessary in talent acquisition.

Innovative methods like video job descriptions and transparency about the role's challenges can attract the right candidates and ensure they are well informed about what to expect.Leverage Networks for Talent Sourcing: Founders and leaders often struggle when hiring for roles outside their expertise. Leveraging existing networks can streamline the hiring process by tapping into a pool of trusted and high performing candidates.

Robin Hanson of Overcoming Bias more or less believes medicine doesn't work [EDIT: see his response here, where he says this is an inaccurate summary of his position. Further chain of responses here and here] This is a strong claim. It would be easy to round Hanson's position off to something weaker, like “extra health care isn't valuable on the margin”. This is how most people interpret the studies he cites. Still, I think his current, actual position is that medicine doesn't work. For example, he writes: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/contra-hanson-on-medical-effectiveness 

This week on The Nick Halaris Show we are featuring Robin Hanson, an economics professor at George Mason University, the author of several fascinating books and the popular “Overcoming Bias” newsletter, and a true maverick, polymath thinker.  He has an incredible body of work and has studied and written about everything from AI and aliens to the psychology of bias and decision-making to how we can use betting markets to improve our society.  As you'll hear in the episode, he's even envisioned provocative ideas on how we might reimagine the idea of money itself and has proposed alternative ways to conduct democracy in light of all that we've learned about human psychology. I wanted to have Robin on the show to get some unique perspectives on how we can improve our complex, messy world.  As I've gotten more into big political and policy issues this year on the show, I've become more convinced that we are in desperate need of some new ideas and maybe even some radical ones.  As you'll see in this episode, Robin is the perfect person for this.  Not only is he a wide-ranging and very critical thinker, but also, he's not afraid to upset the status quo, even if it means challenging the very core of our existing power structures. Tune in to this fascinating episode to learn:The fascinating relationship between the idea of the sacred, society, culture, and our institutions of powerRobin's provocative idea of Sacred Money and how it could work to improve the way we pursue endeavors that have meaning beyond the profit-motive of capitalismHow we can use betting markets to improve both our ability to aggregate information and to make decisions Robin's fascinating idea of Futarchy and why Robin thinks we might even be able to fix democracy itself by using voting on matters on values and betting markets to help us make the best decisionsWhy the rise of a global culture is potentially problematic for humanity  & Much, much more  Stay tuned to the end to hear Robin's thoughts on the foundational premise of this show and learn how he would use small-scale experimentation to fix America if given the power to do so.As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode.  Thanks for tuning in!      Love this episode?
