Seedance 2.0 is the best AI video model we've ever seen. Bytedance's new AI tool generates 15 second clips of basically anything. But what happens next? And where do we go from here? Gavin got early access before it got locked down. We tested it with original animation, fake sitcoms, anime, and a McDonald's ad. The results are genuinely shocking - multi-shot editing, cinematic camera work, and real celebrity voices coming straight out of the model. People are making fake Seinfeld episodes, Avengers deleted scenes, and Rocky working at a fast food restaurant with Optimus Prime. Plus two new Chinese LLMs beating American models on benchmarks, Google Deep Think scores 84% on ARC-AGI, OpenAI's Codex Spark model, that viral AI post your mom sent you, and Kevin loses his mind building an Open Claw agent named Mr. Tibs who now requests server upgrades at 3am.

James Emmett and David Cushnan look ahead to a new Formula 1 season and another potentially seismic shift in the sport. With significant gains in audience and commercial growth for the motorsport series in recent years, teams have felt the trickle down benefit, logging their own commercial gains. With the biggest set of rule changes for over a decade coming into force this season, the playing field - theoretically - has been levelled. At this stage, championship contention is a realistic goal for almost all the teams. One that stands a particularly realistic chance of improvement is Aston Martin, whose commercial MD Jeff Slack is the featured guest on the interview show this week. James and David reflect on Slack's comments, and take some time to look back on the Super Bowl as well as ahead to the future of the IOC's TOP sponsorship model. - -- -- -- -- Leaders Week London is moving to Stamford Bridge, home of Chelsea FC.

What's on your mind? Let CX Passport know...CX to sin. Peak-end to forgiveness. Episode 250 won't be what you're used to.This milestone episode examines how experiences actually end, and why organizations avoid designing that moment. In a wide-ranging conversation with Joe Macleod, CX Passport connects customer experience to religion, environmental responsibility, shame, and the circular economy. The conversation challenges the idea that endings are merely operational details rather than emotional and moral ones. Joe also becomes the show's first guest from Sweden, adding a perspective shaped by consensus, systems thinking, and responsibility.5 Key Insights from the EpisodeMost organizations never ask “How does this end?” as an experience, only as an operational handoffThe customer journey builds empowerment and agency, then abandons customers at the moment of exitShame appears when responsibility for disposal, data, or materials is shifted entirely to the customerReligious and cultural frameworks offer richer language for endings than modern consumer systemsPoorly designed endings damage brand memory and trust long after the relationship is overChapters00:00 Intro02:00 Designing beginnings while ignoring endings05:20 Shame vs guilt at the end of the customer journey08:40 Dark patterns, abandonment, and off-boarding11:30 Consumption and environmental responsibility13:10 Sweden, the UK, and systems thinking16:45 First Class Lounge21:30 Religion, forgiveness, and consumer psychology24:50 Buddhism, Shinto, and product endings28:00 Brand damage caused by poor endingsGuest LinksAndend website https://www.andend.coLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephmacleod/Ends (book, affiliate link): https://amzn.to/3M3zDKLEndineering (book, affiliate link): https://amzn.to/4atZWmy Ends ebook — https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/744267 25% off discount code: NCKEVEndineering ebook — https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1116883 25% off discount code: NCKEVIntroduction to Endineering course — https://www.andend.co/introductionendineering-125% off discount code: 7D7AQF5Continue the JourneyListen: https://www.cxpassport.com Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@cxpassport Newsletter: https://cxpassport.kit.com/signupI'm Rick Denton and I believe the best meals are served outside and require a passport.DisclaimerThis podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only.

The Conversation Leaders Are Afraid to Have This is not a podcast interview. It's a raw, unfiltered conversation between two people who sit inside the private inner worlds of high-performing leaders and keep seeing the same quiet truth emerge. Two different lanes (corporate leadership and entrepreneurship) but the same reckoning to be felt. Success that looks right on the outside while something inside is asking for honesty no one wants to name. In this episode, Lisa McGuire and Jim Huling step out of expert mode and into real dialogue. No rehearsed answers. No motivational gloss. Just a direct conversation about what happens when achievement stops delivering meaning, and why the most capable people often feel the most trapped. They talk openly about the experience of being successfully stuck: Not burned out. Not failing. Just misaligned...and working harder to avoid admitting it. You'll hear why high performers keep this restlessness private, how over-functioning becomes a socially rewarded coping mechanism, and why clarity rarely comes before movement. They compare what this looks like inside corporate leadership versus entrepreneurship, and why the external differences don't change the internal cost. This conversation challenges the hustle narrative, confronts the pressure to "be grateful," and questions the idea that something must be broken for change to be necessary. Most importantly, it offers a reframing many leaders have never been given: sometimes the discomfort isn't a problem to solve. It's an identity that has outgrown its current structure. If you've been feeling successful but unsettled… If you've been carrying more than anyone realizes… If you've told yourself "I should be happy" and felt the quiet resistance underneath… There is nothing wrong with you. You may simply be standing at the edge of your next chapter, before the meaning has caught up with the shift. Listen with honesty. Let it land. And notice what starts telling the truth inside you.

This week we discuss the whether or not a team should allow their players to participate in international competitions. Teams from MLB or other leagues drag their feet on this idea, but should they just allow these players to go compete? For our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the 1920 rule change prohibiting alterations of the baseball. We discuss how effective this change has been, but also how important it is that the change was made at all.Our Hall of Famer this week is outfielder Ralph Kiner. Kiner certainly was a fantastic player for in a short period of time, but was that enough for us to wholeheartedly endorse his inclusion into Cooperstown?In our singlular parting shot this week discuss athlete owned restaurants. Some have succeeded, many have not, but what was the secret sauce to that and why do so many athletes go down this pathEnjoy our new crop of weekly commercials Wheaties and Ralph Kiner, Griffey Jr with Ichiro, and Buster Posey for MLB the Show!Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small.

During Race Industry Week by EPARTRADE, Rodi Basso, Founder & CEO of the E1 Series, shares the inside story behind the world's first all-electric powerboat racing championship and explains how E1 is shaping the future of sustainable water mobility.Born during the COVID pandemic and developed in collaboration with Alejandro Agag (Formula E, Extreme E), E1 was conceived not just as a racing series, but as a global technology laboratory for electric propulsion on water. Backed by Basso's extensive experience at Formula One, McLaren, and Magneti Marelli, the championship secured a landmark 25-year exclusivity agreement with the UIM, officially launching the World Electric Powerboat Championship in Monaco.At the heart of E1 is the revolutionary RaceBird — a purpose-built electric raceboat that uses hydrofoils to lift the hull above the water, dramatically reducing drag. Despite water being nearly 800 times denser than air, the RaceBird achieves exceptional efficiency, with the battery accounting for less than 20% of total weight and top speeds approaching 52 knots.

Two-time World Team member "Mr. Fantastic" Benji Peak discusses recovering from a broken neck and returning to action just in time for the first two UWW Ranking Series tournaments of the year.
Healing is often framed through the lens of heroic breakthroughs, peak experiences, and emotional catharsis, but this episode centers a steadier path. Many modern healing trends—amplified by social media and the promise of instant transformation—can quietly deplete the body, especially for women, leading to every day burnout, long-term exhaustion, and chronic illness. Rather than bypassing the physical, we return to the essentials, recognizing that illness for modern women is often rooted in chronic stress and physiological depletion- not the lack of spiritual epiphanies or endless emotional processing. I'm joined today by women's health expert and mineral balancing practitioner Sena Shellenberger, who brings grounded clarity to what true, lasting healing requires, helping us understand the body's intelligent responses to modern life and offering a vision of healing that is slow, nourishing, and sustainable.
