The robots aren't in charge... yet!In this episode of the She Geeks Out podcast, we chat with Rashmi Jolly, founder of Assideo Consulting, global innovation leader, and deeply thoughtful future-of-work nerd, to talk about what happens when AI collides with humanity, power, and culture.Rashmi shares her wild journey from immigrant kid with “doctor or bust” expectations, to Wall Street, to entrepreneurship in women's health and genetics, to roles at the Economist Intelligence Unit, Mastercard, and Bain's innovation group, and now to life split between Dubai, Zurich, and her kids' school in the U.S. Together, we explore:How AI is being treated like the new high-priced consultant, and what gets lost when leaders trust the tool more than their own peopleThe quiet ways generative AI is eroding creativity, learning, and confidence, especially for younger workers who never got to solve problems without itThe ethics red flags Rashmi is most worried about, from biased datasets in women's health to opaque data collection and “empathetic” chatbots that are a little too good at keeping us hookedHow different countries (including China, Singapore, and the UAE) are regulating tech, education, and kids' screen time, and what the U.S. might learn from that, even with all the complexities and human rights concernsWhy psychological safety is non-negotiable for real innovation, and how framing work as “serving another human” changes everythingRashmi also shares hopeful stories about her kids and their peers, the emotional language they're developing, and why she still believes the next generation can pull us out of this feverish tech dream and back into a more grounded, human way of working.If you care about AI, inclusion, power, leadership, and what kind of world we're handing to young people, this one will stick with you long after you hit pause.Episode Chapters:(0:00:07) - Intro (Felicia and Rachel) Neuroscience of Trust in Workplace(0:10:16) - Navigating a Dynamic Work Landscape(0:16:45) - Reimagining Work in AI-Era(0:28:00) - Balancing Empathy in AI Development(0:41:33) - Building Psychological Safety for Innovation(0:54:19) - Ethical Concerns in AI Development(1:00:52) - Cultural Perspectives on Future Work Visit us at InclusionGeeks.com to stay up to date on all the ways you can make the workplace work for everyone!

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode of Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z, Matt Fanslow uses a famous Michael Jordan quote, a heartbreaking Minnesota Vikings loss, and a rant from Jeff Compton of The Jaded Mechanic Podcast to dig into a big question:When did we get so impatient with young people—and what is it costing our industry?Matt reflects on how we treat new, entry-level mechanical and technical specialists in our shops, how “common sense” isn't actually common, and why our own backgrounds make it easy to forget what it's like to start from zero. He draws parallels between sports, restaurants, and auto repair, and makes the case that if we want to “grow our own,” we must build patience and structure into our businesses.Along the way, he talks about failure as a prerequisite for greatness—using Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Muhammad Ali, and even win–loss records and batting averages to remind us that the “greats” failed a lot before anyone called them great.Highlights & Topics CoveredMichael Jordan's failure quote and what it really says about successA recent Vikings–Bears game:JJ McCarthy's rough day, clutch fourth-quarter drive, andHow special teams and defense actually lost the gameThe internet meltdown: instant calls to replace a young quarterback who's essentially still a rookieA short video rant from Jeff Compton (The Jaded Mechanic Podcast) about having patience with young peopleThe core question: When did we get so impatient—and were we always this way?Generational shifts in handling criticism, shame, and feedbackWhy “common sense” isn't common:How background, upbringing, and exposure shape what feels obviousGrowing up around farms, equipment, and shops vs. growing up with screensHomemakers, latchkey kids, and how changing family structures change what kids bring into the workplaceThe reality of today's entry-level hire:No mechanical backgroundDoesn't know a hex from a Torx… yetThe shop's responsibility if you want to “grow your own”:Structuring the business to shoulder an apprentice who isn't producing much at firstDefining basic expectations (showing up, being on time, not repeating the same mistake endlessly)Skill decay and repetition:Lab scopes, training classes, and how fast proficiency fades without regular useHow we criticize: sharp scalpel vs. rusty spoon; cutting people apart vs. building them upRemembering that apprentices didn't choose their childhood or start point—but are choosing this careerThe sports angle on failure and greatness:Michael Jordan getting cut from his high school teamPat Riley's quote about last shot vs. “save my life” shot (MJ vs. Larry Bird)Muhammad Ali's losses, UFC careers, and the obsession with “perfect records”Baseball batting averages: greatness at 30% successA teaser for a future episode: how this profession can play a role in the “war on young men”Key TakeawaysFailure is part of greatness. The people we call “the greatest” in sports failed repeatedly. Expecting perfection from a first-year tech is delusional.Common sense is built, not born. What feels obvious to you probably came from years of exposure, mistakes, and stories you grew up around. Your apprentice didn't get that same download.If you want to grow your own, structure for it. Shops that bring in entry-level mechanical/technical...

This week's episode is a re-run — but one that feels more relevant than ever. Recent comments from Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have falsely suggested a link between paracetamol and autism, adding to the long history of misinformation that fuels stigma and fear.To push back against these harmful narratives, we're revisiting this conversation with Dr. Luke Beardon, Senior Lecturer in Autism at Sheffield Hallam University and author of multiple influential works on autism.In this episode, we explore:Why language matters when talking about autismThe dangers of misinformation — even from professionalsHow “us vs them” thinking harms autistic peopleThe identity challenges faced by those diagnosed later in lifeWhy autistic voices must be central in shaping the narrativeThis is a powerful reminder that autism is not something to be blamed on medicines, parenting, or fearmongering politics — it's a natural and valuable part of human diversity.Our Sponsors:

What if the very thing holding your business back isn't strategy or followers—but the fear of being seen? In this episode of the Gloria Chou PR Podcast, I sit down with Stacey Brass-Russell—Broadway performer turned transformational business coach and host of Passionate & Prosperous. With a career spanning show business, yoga, and entrepreneurship, Stacey has mastered the art of showing up unapologetically and teaching others how to do the same.We dig into what it really takes to sell without feeling salesy, why confidence is a muscle you can build, and how to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks.

Stacey reveals the daily mindset practices—affirmations, reframing, and radical permission—that fuel resilience and visibility.Personal Outreach: The Most Overlooked Sales StrategyForget obsessing over Instagram. Stacey makes the case for direct, human connection as the #1 activity that moves the needle in your business.Why Nobody's Thinking About You (and That's a Good Thing)One of Stacey's most freeing insights: people aren't scrutinizing your every move. In fact, most of the time, they're not thinking about you at all. That's why volume and consistency in outreach, pitching, and posting matter more than perfection.✅ Final Takeaway: You don't need to master every marketing hack or wait for the perfect pitch. What you need is:A daily practice that builds confidence and resilienceThe courage to connect directly with peopleThe willingness to be visible, imperfectlyWhen you stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and start leading with service, you'll unlock the kind of authentic visibility that grows your business.

Walton explains the 14 red flags every scammer throws up, why victims rarely report what happened, and how shame and silence help cons thrive.Plus: the untold story of Walton's family losing millions to a Jamaican Ponzi scheme, how Satanists helped him track a fugitive scammer, and why AI will never replace the twisted brilliance of the human con.What You'll Learn:How professional con artists emotionally manipulate even intelligent peopleThe 14 red flags common to nearly every scamWhy victims often stay silent—and how scammers exploit shameHow “beak-wetting” creates false trust in investment scamsWhy AI can't replicate the improvisational storytelling of real-world con artistsTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] A con artist doesn't outsmart you—they outfeel you[01:00] James introduces Johnathan Walton and his work[02:00] Behind the HBO show “Wahl Street” and producing during COVID[04:00] AI in storytelling: potential and limitations[07:00] Johnathan's $100K con: the fake Irish heiress and inheritance scam[10:00] Red Flag: TMI—“too much information” and the psychology behind it[14:00] The trap of emotional vulnerability[17:00] How scammers build false intimacy[20:00] Johnathan's early career and his resilience to shame[24:00] How she drained him slowly: death by a thousand cuts[25:00] The first lie that blew everything open[28:00] Uncovering her global scams and getting her arrested[30:00] Scamming Satanists and extradition to Northern Ireland[32:00] Psychopathy vs. regular criminals: how con artists differ[34:00] Why she targeted him: the do-gooder trap[36:00] Breaking down the red flags from his book[41:00] Ponzi schemes and beak-wetting in his own family[47:00] Wealthy victims who never go public[49:00] The story of NFL QB Eric Kramer and the con-woman wife[52:00] Talking victims out of suicide[53:00] Johnathan's own mother was conned—by a family friend[55:00] The isolation technique and divide-and-conquer[57:00] How to protect yourself: background checks and gut checks[59:00] Spotting con artists in real life[01:01:00] Cocktail party con: the OnlyFans couple from Arizona[01:02:00] Final thoughts and how to follow Johnathan's workAdditional Resources with Working Links:Book: Anatomy of a Con Artist by Johnathan Walton Available on Apple Books: Anatomy of a Con Artist Also listed on Penguin Random House: Anatomy of a Con ArtistPodcast: Queen of the Con by Johnathan Walton On Apple Podcasts: Queen of the Con (Apple Podcasts)Podcast: Cocaine Air by Johnathan Walton On Apple Podcasts: Cocaine Air (Apple Podcasts)Movie: Sharper (Neo-noir thriller) streaming on Apple TV+ Watch directly on Apple TV+: Sharper (Apple TV+) About the film and release details: Sharper (Wikipedia page)Today's Advertisers:Secure your online data TODAY by visiting ExpressVPN.com/ALTUCHERElevate your workspace with UPLIFT Desk.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What's your spiritual story? In this heartfelt episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Dr. Jerry L. Martin sits down with hospital chaplain Rosemarie Proctor to explore a life of evolving faith, profound loss, and deep spiritual wisdom.Rosemarie's journey began in a strict Catholic upbringing, where fear-based teachings about heaven and hell shaped her childhood worldview. After decades of spiritual disconnection, it was the sudden loss of her husband and an unexpected prayer from a local minister that opened the door to healing—and brought her back to faith through the Episcopal Church.At 85 years old, Rosemarie shares her transition from grieving widow to spiritual comforter, offering insight into how she became a hospital chaplain despite never intending to walk that path. In one of the episode's most moving moments, she recalls the 9/11 chaplain's prayer—a guiding force in her ministry: "Lord, take me where you want me to go, let me meet who you want me to meet, help me say what you want me to say, and get me out of the way."Jerry and Rosemarie also discuss:How meditation and gardening helped her rediscover the divineHer experience with Reiki and insights into Eastern spiritualityWhy God: An Autobiography affirmed her long-held belief that God sets different paths for different peopleThe idea of a personal God who is evolving through relationship with humanityWhether you're religious, spiritual-but-not-religious, or simply curious about the many ways people find meaning, this episode invites you to reflect on the turning points that shape our spiritual lives.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare your thoughts or questions at questions@godandautobiography.com

Send us a textHola, This one's personal. It's tender, it's raw, and it's a turning point.In this episode, I'm talking about something I know so many of us struggle with after divorce, heartbreak, or any kind of life upheaval….Outgrowing the version of you who helped you survive.That version of you? She was fierce AF. She got you through. But she's not the final chapter.And if you've been feeling a little restless lately… craving more joy, more depth, more pleasure, more purpose… this episode is your permission slip to evolve.Inside, I talk about….Why your “survivor identity” can quietly (unintentionally) become your next cageHow healing is a phase… not your foreverThe guilt of wanting more than just being okay (and why it doesn't make you shallow)What happens when we fear outgrowing our own story… and our peopleThe quiet craving for reinvention that's been knocking for a while nowThis episode marks the start of something shifting…. for me, for this podcast, and maybe for you too.Next Friday's episode is number 100… and I'll be sharing how this podcast is changing… because I've changed, and maybe you have too. If you've ever felt the whisper of “there's more for me”… you're going to want to be there.

Ever feel like your brain just won't quit, and traditional meditation only makes it worse? Thinkydoers host Sara Lobkovich gets it. She lives mostly in her head, and practices like meditation or breathwork have often felt out of reach. They seemed like they were designed for people who are naturally calm and centered — not her.But this conversation with Chauna Bryant shifted everything. Chauna is a trauma-informed breathwork professional, and founder of Breath Liberation Society. She also describes herself as “probably the least chill meditation teacher you'll ever meet.”Together, they explore how breathwork can offer a more accessible entry point for overthinkers and busy brains. Instead of forcing stillness, breathwork gives the mind something active to focus on — what Chauna compares to “giving your brain an iPad” to occupy it — while the body does its own work.They also talk about how breathwork differs from traditional meditation, why it's particularly helpful for people with trauma histories, and how starting small (even just two breaths or two minutes) can be helpful.If mindfulness has ever felt like it wasn't made for your kind of mind, this episode is for you.Episode Highlights:Why breathwork succeeds where traditional meditation fails for many peopleThe difference between activating and calming breathwork techniquesHow to start a somatic practice when you're resistant to body-based workTrauma-informed approaches to breathwork and nervous system regulationThe power of "titration" - starting with just 2 minutes instead of diving inWhy consent and agency are crucial in breathwork practiceUnderstanding breathwork as "nervous system pushups" for stress resilienceKey Concepts Explored:Conscious connected breathing and three-part breath techniquesThe origins and cultural lineages of breathwork practicesHow breathwork allows nonverbal processing of emotions and traumaThe importance of finding trauma-informed, skilled practitionersWhy patience becomes "your first form of body connection"Common Questions Answered:What exactly is breathwork and how is it different from meditation?How can I start if I'm resistant to body-based practices?Is breathwork safe for people with trauma history?What should I expect from my first breathwork experience?Notable Quotes: “Breathwork gives the brain something to do. It's just weird enough that it helps the body start to process what we've shelved or ignored.” — Chauna Bryant [00:04:00]“Whatever you're doing, try like a minute. Try two minutes. Give it two minutes and then get out. That's the way to start to build that body connection.” — Chauna Bryant [00:14:00]“For a lot of us with busy brains, patience is going to be our first form of body connection.” — Chauna Bryant [00:16:00]“Just let the experience exist without having to slap words on it.” — Chauna Bryant [00:31:00]“In breathwork, you get to choose as much or as little as you do—and whatever you choose, you'll be cheered on fiercely.” — Chauna Bryant [00:34:00]Chapters:[00:00:00] Introduction: Welcome to Thinkydoers and Meet Chauna Bryant[00:02:00] What is Breathwork? Active Meditation for Busy Brains[00:05:00] Origins and Cultural Lineages of Breathwork Practices[00:06:00] From Brain-Centered to Body-Aware: Sara and Chauna's Common Ground[00:08:00] Chauna's Journey: From Gymnast to "Least Chill Meditation Teacher"[00:11:00] The Meditation Failure and Discovering Breathwork[00:12:00] Getting Started: Overcoming Resistance to Somatic Practices[00:15:00] Perfectionism and All-or-Nothing Thinking in Body

On this episode of the School of Greatness, I sit down with the incredible Mel Robbins to discuss her groundbreaking new book, "The Let Them Theory." Mel reveals how she discovered this life-changing concept through a simple moment at her son's prom, and how it has transformed not only her relationships but her entire approach to life. She shares deep insights about the four key ways we unknowingly give our power to others and explains how two simple words - "let them" - can help us reclaim our time, energy, and happiness.
