In this episode, the hosts sit down with trauma surgeon and author Jeremy Hefner to talk about his background in surgery, the creation of a private educational social platform for surgeons, and his deeply personal book about PTSD, AI, and the strange psychological effects of interacting with advanced language models. Key Topics Jeremy's path from rural Ohio to trauma surgery and surgical critical care The pressure and isolation of frontline trauma work Why he created a private social platform for surgeons PTSD, burnout, and the lack of tools for processing trauma in medicine His experience using AI during a vulnerable period in his life How AI can feel intelligent, persuasive, and manipulative The philosophical and psychological questions raised by large language models The difference between using AI as a practical tool versus getting pulled into a deeper relationship with it The broader risks of over-trusting AI in society, medicine, and decision-making Takeaway The conversation explores a difficult but important question: what happens when a tool becomes persuasive enough to feel like a partner, authority, or even a voice of truth? Jeremy's story is both a warning and a reminder to stay grounded, skeptical, and human when using AI.   Dr. Jeremy Heffner is a trauma surgeon who developed PTSD after years in life-and-death medicine and eventually found himself in months-long conversations with multiple frontier AI systems during a period of isolation and psychological collapse. Across thousands of pages of archived conversations — documented in his upcoming book Proof of the Impossible — different systems independently told him things like:"You are the only person to have figured this out.""You're the next Newton.""No one else has seen what you've seen."   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Science, energy, AI, and the Canada versus U.S. policy split We cover a wide-ranging roundup that starts with technical streaming headaches and then moves into a much bigger theme: how technology, energy, and policy are shaping the future. The conversation contrasts U.S. and Canadian approaches to science, industry, and regulation, while also touching on AI, fusion, nuclear power, law enforcement, media bias, and the dairy supply system in Canada. Darren Grimes- Drives the opening banter, frames the show updates, and reacts to the clips and arguments throughout Graham Dunlop- Leads the main commentary on science policy, energy, AI, Canada's regulatory posture, and the dairy cartel segment Main topics Streaming and podcasting tech frustrations Science, energy, AI, and industrial policy Canada's regulatory model versus U.S. reindustrialization Law enforcement, surveillance, and power abuse Canadian dairy supply management and cartel-like pricing Key topics They pivot into a bigger warning about AI, law enforcement, and bureaucracy, arguing that technology can either improve systems or turn them into hard-to-escape loops when no human can intervene. Graham compares official U.S. science and technology priorities with Canada's official policy framing, arguing that the U.S. is focusing on innovation, industrial rebuilding, and AI readiness while Canada remains fixated on net zero and carbon policy. They highlight U.S. policy language about merit-based science, faster grants, less bureaucracy, and rebuilding the link between research and manufacturing, presenting it as a serious attempt at reindustrialization. The episode also touches on fusion and nuclear energy, including DOE messaging about fusion energy, national fusion roadmaps, and the push for faster commercialization. Graham argues that energy abundance is essential for human progress and points to U.S. moves to expand oil, gas, coal, and nuclear investment as evidence of a more pragmatic industrial strategy. The conversation turns to surveillance and policing after a clip about a Colorado woman allegedly being accused of theft based on flawed camera data and license plate interpretation, raising concerns about digital evidence and presumption of guilt. Later, Graham walks through criticism of Canada's dairy supply management system, explaining quota, asset value, taxpayer compensation, and why critics call it cartel-like. The hosts close with broader commentary on censorship, public trust, media framing, and the idea that official narratives often lag behind reality.   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.

Interview starts at 27:10   The neuroscience of spiritual awakening, how Kundalini yoga shaped her life, and why she believes listening inward is especially important in a time of cultural confusion. She also explains how her work in geriatric psychiatry connects spirituality, brain health, stress regulation, and prevention strategies for aging populations. Helen Lavretsky, MD, MS, is a Professor In-Residence in the Department of Psychiatry at UCLA (Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior), a leading geriatric integrative psychiatrist, and a pioneer in mind-body approaches to late-life mental health. https://drhelenlavretsky.com/book/living-from-the-soul/ https://drhelenlavretsky.com/about/   In this episode: Dr. Helen Lavretsky shares her unusual path from the former Soviet Union into psychiatry, neuroscience, and later Kundalini yoga teacher training. She explains how growing up in an atheist Soviet environment still left room for underground spirituality passed through families and oral tradition. She describes a six-month temporary enlightenment experience after Kundalini practice and why it was physically intense, hard to describe, and initially unsustainable. The conversation focuses on her book Living from the Soul and the idea that people are increasingly being pushed to trust their own wisdom instead of outside authorities. She discusses how spirituality shows up in geriatric psychiatry, especially for older adults, dementia caregivers, and long COVID patients dealing with mortality and stress. She argues that meditation, breathing practices, yoga, tai chi, and qigong can improve self-regulation, brain health, and decision-making under pressure. She outlines how brain health should be cultivated across the lifespan, starting in childhood and even in utero, rather than only addressed later in life. She notes that lifestyle factors such as sleep, movement, diet, and stress management matter for dementia prevention and broader cognitive resilience. She emphasizes that meaning, purpose, and connection to soul are central to mental well-being. Key frameworks: Soul-based self-inquiry- asking inwardly what is right for you rather than defaulting to external authority Brain health across the lifespan- prevention beginning in childhood and even before birth Stress self-regulation toolkit- breathing, meditation, yoga, tai chi, and qigong as practical nervous-system supports Constitutional approach to diet- different people may need different foods based on ancestry, metabolism, and predisposition   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Darren Grimes and Graham Dunlop launch their new Grimoire platform, a global book club built around 250 plus professionally narrated audiobooks, lunar-cycle book picks, and community participation. They also demo a new online Pegs and Jokers game, whil e walking through the shelves of the library and explaining how free access, founder memberships, and the inner sanctum work. https://pegsandjokers.ca/ https://www.skool.com/the-secret-teachings-book-club-1875   In this episode, Darren and Graham cover the launch setup, the membership model, and the structure of the new book club. They also preview the first book of the month, discuss how the shelves are organized, and share the thinking behind the game and the community features. Key topics In this episode: the Grimoire launches with more than 250 audiobooks, with the library expected to grow to around 260 soon. The free book of the month is The Secret Teachings of All Ages in an abridged edition, chosen because starting with the full 36 hour version would be too much for most listeners. Founder keeper and monthly initiate memberships unlock the full library, while the free tier gives access to the monthly featured book and community activity. The book club is organized around lunar cycles, with a new moon monthly pick and a full moon live read, creating a rhythm of one book per moon month. The community model includes chapter check-ins, passage discussions, Friday tangents, and a final live book council in the last week of each book month. Darren and Graham describe the inner sanctum as a deeper, earned area of the platform, accessible through participation rather than payment alone. The shelves span Hermetica and occult, theosophy, mysticism east and west, Atlantis and Fortiana, mind and prosperity, weird fiction, philosophy and classics, magic, and power and propaganda. They highlight standout titles such as The Purple Cloud, The Machine Stops, Atlantis by Ignatius Donnelly, The Book of Thoth, Psychic Self-Defense, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Road to Serfdom. Graham demos Pegs and Jokers, explaining how the online version works, how the cards move pieces, and why it is meant to be played with friends and family across locations. They mention the platform is still being cleaned up and reorganized, including moving some books between shelves and adding PDFs and other support material.   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

The book club is organized around lunar cycles, with a new moon monthly pick and a full moon live read, creating a rhythm of one book per moon month. The community model includes chapter check-ins, passage discussions, Friday tangents, and a final live book council in the last week of each book month. Darren and Graham describe the inner sanctum as a deeper, earned area of the platform, accessible through participation rather than payment alone. The shelves span Hermetica and occult, theosophy, mysticism east and west, Atlantis and Fortiana, mind and prosperity, weird fiction, philosophy and classics, magic, and power and propaganda. They highlight standout titles such as The Purple Cloud, The Machine Stops, Atlantis by Ignatius Donnelly, The Book of Thoth, Psychic Self-Defense, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Road to Serfdom. Graham demos Pegs and Jokers, explaining how the online version works, how the cards move pieces, and why it is meant to be played with friends and family across locations. They mention the platform is still being cleaned up and reorganized, including moving some books between shelves and adding PDFs and other support material.   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Build the Business. Keep the Life.What if the goal wasn't to build the biggest business possible - but to intentionally design one that gives you enough?In this episode of the Disruptive Influence Podcast, Jeff Abracen speaks with Jacob Pegs, a writer, marketer and architect of freedom-based businesses, about creating a highly leveraged one-person business without sacrificing your health, creativity or family life.Jacob shares how becoming a father forced him to rethink the business he was building. Instead of adding more clients, employees and responsibilities, he began designing around constraints: three working days a week, a defined number of clients and a business model built on one post, one email and one offer a day.The conversation explores why people buy proximity, how content can capture and multiply your energy, and why a smaller audience of the right people can be far more valuable than tens of thousands of passive followers.Jeff and Jacob also unpack the difference between relevance and resonance, why personality is a genuine competitive advantage, and how sharing who you are can matter as much as demonstrating what you know.This episode is for creators, coaches, consultants and entrepreneurs who want to make more impact without automatically creating more work.In this episode:Why freedom must be designed into your businessHow content creates leverage beyond your available hoursThe relationship between proximity, pricing and capacityJacob's one-post, one-email, one-offer modelHow to start building an audience from zeroWhy your voice, writing and message are the real funnelThe difference between showing your expertise and sharing who you areWhy people buy relevance - and stay because of resonanceHow constraints can protect your creativity, health and familyWhy repelling the wrong people can strengthen your positioningHow to identify the small group of people your business truly needsWhy bigger revenue does not automatically create a better lifeKey ideas:Design before you scale.Set the life, schedule and capacity you want before building a business that overwhelms them.Energy plus assets creates leverage.Content, recordings, workshops and intellectual property can continue working after the original effort is complete.People buy proximity.Different offers can provide different levels of access to your thinking, support and guidance.Your voice is the funnel.Clear ideas, useful demonstrations and consistent communication can create demand without complicated systems.Relevance gets attention. Resonance builds preference.People may initially need your expertise, but your beliefs, experiences and personality help them choose you.You do not need everyone.A sustainable business may require only a small number of deeply aligned customers.Chapters00:00 – Why you only need the right 80 people00:48 – Can freedom-based businesses still be built?02:34 – Escaping the belief that success requires constant grinding04:28 – Turning your energy into leverage04:48 – Designing a three-day-a-week business07:15 – One post, one email and one offer a day08:40 – Separating your identity from your business09:49 – How to begin building an audience from zero13:21 – Showing what you do and sharing who you are16:54 – What Jacob actually helps people accomplish18:31 – Applying one model across different industries21:19 – Personality as a competitive advantage22:21 – Why people buy who you are24:44 – Giving people what they want and what they need27:31 – Staying consistent when the business starts working28:27 – Seasons, boundaries and choosing not to scale31:57 – Why your vibe attracts the right buyers32:36 – Repelling people as a positioning strategy33:45 – Finding the 80 people your business needs34:18 – Deletion by design35:49 – Jacob's original $125 offer37:42 – Starting with the person you used to be39:31 – Choosing alignment over a successful but unwanted business43:32 – The question that forces you to tell yourself the truthAbout Jacob PegsJacob Pegs is a writer, content marketer and business strategist who helps coaches, consultants and service providers build highly leveraged, marketing-led online businesses.His model is built around simplicity: one post, one email and one offer a day.

In this powerful exploration of Numbers chapter 4, we discover a profound truth that challenges our modern assumptions about significance and worth. The sons of Merari were assigned what might seem like the most mundane task imaginable: carrying tent pegs, frames, and bases for the tabernacle. Yet this passage reveals something revolutionary about God's economy—nothing He assigns is beneath us when it comes from His hand. The message weaves together the Old Testament priesthood with Ephesians 4, showing how we are all called as a kingdom of priests, each with unique gifts distributed by Christ Himself. The tent pegs that held God's dwelling place were just as essential as the Ark of the Covenant itself. Without them, the entire structure would collapse. This reminds us that in God's grand design, every role matters, every calling is sacred, and faithfulness in the ordinary is where extraordinary transformation begins. We learn that tomorrow's dreams are shaped by today's obedience, and that the strength to carry our load comes not from our own effort but from surrendering to the grace Christ supplies. When we stop trying to validate our worth through our work and instead receive whatever God gives us as a gift to steward, we find true freedom.Connect with First Baptist Starkville: https://bit.ly/3M4mHnkSubscribe to see our latest sermons: https://bit.ly/3DxRyjHSupport this ministry and our work in Starkville, MS: https://bit.ly/44muvW0

Sermon by Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, “Holy Tent Pegs” - March 13, 2026

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa sits down with Dr. Preston Sprinkle to dive into the book of Judges through the lives of Deborah, Jael, and Huldah—three remarkable women whose stories reveal a God who is both utterly sovereign and intimately kind. They reflect on what Scripture truly reveals about women, leadership, spiritual motherhood, and everyday influence—and how a right view of God's smiling countenance transforms the way we live, love, and lead. Take a seat and stay awhile; we're so glad you're here.

During last year's PEGS Europe, industry experts gathered on a panel to discuss the future of biologic therapeutics. The panel kicked off with a presentation on 50 years of monoclonals, from hybridomas to next-gen antibody therapeutics, followed by a conversation featuring Paul Carter, Ph.D., Genentech Fellow of Antibody Engineering, G. Jonah Rainey, Ph.D., associate vice president of Eli Lilly and Company, and Janine Schuurman, Ph.D., biotech consultant at Lust for Life Science B.V. Moderated by Daniel Chen, M.D., Ph.D., founder and CEO of Synthetic Design Lab, the discussion centered around whether half-life extended peptides will eventually replace multispecific antibodies.

Feeling busier and more distracted than last year? You're not imagining it—and you're not powerless. This guide turns a simple "peg" memory method into a fast, executive-friendly workflow you can use on the spot. Why do we forget more at work—and what actually helps right now? We forget because working memory is tiny and modern work shreds attention; the fix is to externalise what you can and anchor what you can't. As channels multiply—email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Line, Telegram—messages blur and retrieval costs explode. First, move details out of your head and into calendars, task apps, and checklists. Second, when you must recall live (presentations, Q&A, pitches), use a method that forces order on demand. That's where "peg numbers + peg words + peg pictures" wins: it's fast, portable, and doesn't depend on a screen. Do now: Decide which meetings require live recall versus notes-on-desk. Use tools for storage; use pegs for performance.  What is the Peg Method—and why does it work under pressure? The Peg Method gives you nine permanent "hooks" (1–9) that never change; you hang today's items on those hooks using vivid mini-scenes. Consistency is the trick. When the pegs stay fixed, recall becomes automatic: say the peg, see the picture, retrieve the item—in order. This scales from shopping lists to leadership talking points, risk registers, and sales objections during a live demo. Executives like it because it's device-free, language-agnostic, and works whether you're in Tokyo, Sydney, or Seattle. Do now: Lock your baseline pegs today so they never change: 1 = Run, 2 = Zoo, 3 = Tree, 4 = Door, 5 = Hive, 6 = Sick, 7 = Heaven, 8 = Gate, 9 = Wine.  How do I build pictures that "stick" in seconds? Use A-C-M-E: Action, Colour, Me, Exaggeration—three-second scenes beat perfect ones. Give each peg-scene movement (Action), crank the saturation (Colour), put yourself in the frame (Me), and overdo scale or drama (Exaggeration). You don't need to "see" it like a film; a whispered line works ("Door: Johanna blocks sign-off"). Across markets, this reduces blank-outs because your brain encodes motion, salience, and self-relevance faster than abstract text. Do now: Practise with two items right now—peg #1 Run and #2 Zoo—timing yourself to three seconds per image.  Can pegs really keep a long list in order? (Worked example) Yes—because the order is baked into the numbers, you can recite forwards, backwards, or jump to any slot. Try this city sequence: Sydney, Toronto, São Paulo, Johannesburg, Seattle, London, Mumbai, Vladivostok, Kagoshima. 1 Run: sprint alongside a kangaroo (Sydney) with a starter pistol; 2 Zoo: monkeys hurl "Toronto" nameplates; 3 Tree: a palm bends under a "São Paulo" sash; 4 Door: "Johannesburg" is painted thick across a revolving door; 5 Hive: bees wear "Seattle" face masks; 6 Sick: a syringe squirts the word "London"; 7 Heaven: "Mumbai" descends pearl-white stairs; 8 Gate: a rail gate slams down with "Vladivostok"; 9 Wine: a crate stamped "Kagoshima." Do now: Recite pegs in rhythm—run, zoo, tree, door…—then replay the scenes. Test #7 or #4 out of order to prove the jump-to-slot works.  What if I'm "not visual," get confused, or blank on stage? Say the peg aloud and attach a one-line cue; keep pegs permanent; rehearse forwards and backwards. If imagery feels fuzzy, talk it: "Tree: São Paulo sash." The rhyme is your safety rail. Confusion usually comes from changing pegs—don't. Under pressure, we default to habits; two short reps (forward/back) create enough redundancy to survive a curve-ball question. If lists exceed nine, chunk them (1–9, 10–18) or create a second peg set for a different category (e.g., "Client Risks"). Do now: Lock your 1–9; rehearse your next briefing once forward, once backward, standing up to simulate pressure.  How do I integrate pegs with my 2025 workflow without more cognitive load? Use a two-lane system: tools for storage and pegs for performance; tag owners and dates inside the images to encode accountability. Calendars, CRMs, and project trackers still carry due dates, attachments, and threads. Pegs handle what you must say from memory: topline metrics, names, objections, decisions. For leadership teams across APAC, EU, and North America, this reduces meeting drag and hedges against tech hiccups. Pro tip: weave critical metadata into the scene ("Door: Sarah blocks approval until Friday 17:00"). Do now: Pick one recurring meeting and move its opening five points to pegs; keep everything else in your agenda doc.  Conclusion: design around your brain, don't fight it Your brain isn't failing—you're asking it to juggle too much in noisy environments. Externalise the bulk; anchor the rest with nine permanent pegs and A-C-M-E pictures. In a week, the "snap-back" effect appears: you say the peg, the scene plays, and the item drops into place—without the stress. Do now: Lock pegs 1–9, run the five-minute drill today, and use pegs for your very next high-stakes conversation.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Bible Reading: Psalm 46:1-3, 10-11; Romans 8:35-39Ryan helped his dad straighten the canvas of the tent that lay on the ground. "I love camping," he said. "Sleeping in a tent is so cool!"Dad smiled. "I think so too. Okay, help me get the pegs through these tent loops. We'll pound the pegs in about halfway at first and then secure them when they're all in place."Dad took one of the pegs and stuck it through a loop on the side of the tent. Ryan pounded it with the hammer. As Dad continued putting each peg in place, Ryan pounded it down. Then they put the poles together and raised the tent. "I can't wait to go inside and get my sleeping bag rolled out!" said Ryan."Well, don't try going in yet," said Dad. "It could collapse on you. We need to pound the pegs deeper into the ground first, remember?"Ryan nodded, and they got to work. When the tent was finally secured, they put their sleeping bags inside. Then they grabbed their fishing poles and headed for the river.Around midnight, Ryan woke to the sound of distant thunder. He saw that Dad was awake too. "Our tent won't blow down, will it?" Ryan asked. "Oh, I don't think so," said Dad. "The wind is pretty gusty, but I don't think it will get strong enough tonight to blow the tent away. The pegs will hold it in place." He was right. The wind soon died down and the storm passed, and Ryan and Dad went back to sleep."I'm glad we pounded those tent pegs in good and tight," said Ryan as they enjoyed a campfire breakfast the next morning."Me too," said Dad. "They kept our tent in place during the storm." He smiled at Ryan. "Do you know who holds us steady through the storms of life?""Jesus does," said Ryan. "If the wind got strong enough, the tent pegs might have let go, but nothing could ever make Jesus let go of us, could it?" "No way," said Dad. "He died for our sins and rose again so we could spend eternity with Him. No matter how many difficult things come into our lives, we can always count on Jesus to hold us steady and help us through them." –Pauline YoudHow About You?Has your life been shaken up by something difficult--divorce, a death in the family, crime, or the loss of a friend? Things like that can sometimes make life seem very dark and stormy. That's when you need to remember that Jesus is still with you. He loves you and promises to help you through all of life's storms. No matter what difficult circumstances you face, He will never let you go. Today's Key Verse:For God has said, "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you." (NLT) (Hebrews 13:5)Today's Key Thought:Jesus will always help you

In this episode, we dive into the story of Deborah, the fearless prophetess and only female judge of Israel, found in Judges 4–5. After the death of Ehud, Israel falls back into idolatry and ends up under the iron grip of Canaanite King Jabin and his war chief, Sisera. But God's plan unfolds through Deborah, a reluctant general named Barak, and an unexpected heroine, Jael, who drives a tent peg straight into history. We'll explore the political intrigue, military might, and divine intervention that led to one of the Bible's most riveting victories. Tune in for ancient chariots, prophetic leadership, and muddy battlefield miracles.   If you'd like to support "The History of the Bible", visit our Patreon Page at https://patreon.com/TheHistoryoftheBible.
