Doing something a little different than usual! A full verse-by-verse Bible study on the book of Colossians. This letter isn't just historical... it's prophetic. Paul wrote it to combat spiritual deception, legalism, mysticism, and religious elitism in his day… but it reads like it was written for ours. So that's what this is about digging into. In this in-depth teaching, we'll walk through every chapter of Colossians and expose: -The religious spirit behind Catholicism, Orthodoxy & legalism -The mysticism behind the New Age, asceticism & progressive Christianity -The counterfeit gospel of self, performance, and philosophy -And the TRUE supremacy of Jesus Christ over all creation—past, present, and future. Bring your Bible. Take notes. My prayer is that this one's going to equip you with bold truth in an age of spiritual confusion. Let's study Colossians together. :-) Because Christ is enough.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan flies solo (with Road Dog sending in questions) and dives deep into trending business topics, including the unpredictable future of AI, motivating affluent business owners, mastering networking charisma, and the true meaning of adaptability in business. Karl also shares a heartfelt personal story and his “Zen” take on purpose, legacy, and what makes life meaningful—offering practical strategies and inspirational takeaways for coaches and entrepreneurs aiming to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Key Topics Covered 1. AI Uncertainty, Hype, and How to Handle It as a Coach Karl reflects on reactions to his AI predictions and discusses why the loudest experts often know the least. Real-world AI adoption is more delayed and unpredictable than people expect—think self-driving cars and regulatory hurdles. The smarter play: treat AI as “gasoline” (an accelerator), not the “vehicle.” Integrate and adapt, but don't get paralyzed by hype or panic. Educate yourself, but don't let the hype steal your focus—stay grounded in serving clients and growing your practice. 2. The Four Pillars of a Meaningful Life Karl opens up about a personal loss, sharing four foundational elements for a purposeful life: something to love, something to look forward to, something to work on, and something to believe in. He ties these into both personal and coaching success, urging listeners to minimize distractions (entertainment) and maximize presence, connection, and purpose. 3. How to Motivate Wealthy (Non-Money-Motivated) Clients Most people are driven by money, status, relationships, or freedom; successful business owners often shift motivation from money to status or freedom. Karl stresses you must first discover their TRUE motivator—often it's still achievement, status, freedom, or a new challenge. Set clear rules and targets: If the goalpost keeps moving (“I just need 3x more to feel successful”), help them create urgency and satisfaction with a concrete number and timeframe. 4. Charisma and Connection in Networking The #1 secret to converting coaching clients at groups like BNI or Chamber: charisma. Ditch the boring, predictable intros. Karl shares headline techniques for memorable, magnetic first impressions and the power of presence. True connection comes from listening to listen (not to respond), giving others your undivided attention, and being both interesting and interested. Actionable body language and confidence cues, plus tips for delivering genuine, effective compliments. 5. Adaptability Over Strength Businesses (and coaches) that survive and thrive aren't the strongest—they're the most adaptable. Real-world examples: McDonald's pivot to breakfast, Netflix's shift to content creation, Lego's partnerships, and Karl's own pivot to focus on profit (not just revenue) in his Profit Acceleration Software. Adaptability is about integrating feedback fast, pivoting with change, and using new technology (like AI) as an accelerator, not a crutch. Notable Quotes “AI is gasoline, not the vehicle… use it as turbo for your business.” “You want to motivate someone? First, know exactly what motivates them.” “Be interesting and be interested. Give them the gift of your presence.” “It's not the strong who survive—it's the adaptable.” “Four things for a meaningful life: something to love, something to look forward to, something to work on, something to believe in.” Actionable Takeaways Use AI as an Accelerator: Educate yourself on AI tools and opportunities, but don't let the noise overwhelm you—focus on integrating AI to speed up and improve what you already do well. Double Down on Connection: Whether with clients or new contacts, deliver your full attention, make genuine compliments, and be confident in your introductions to stand out in a crowd. Discover and Target Core Motivators: Before you can motivate a client (especially one who thinks they've “arrived”), figure out if they're now seeking status, freedom, or new achievement—then tailor your coaching accordingly. Limit Distraction, Maximize Purpose: Trim entertainment and refocus on your own family, finances, and business. Use the “four pillars of meaning” as a self-check. Set Concrete Goals and Rules (for Yourself and Clients): Instead of always moving the goalpost, agree on a success benchmark and timeframe. Use time as a tool to create urgency and satisfaction. Practice Charisma at Networking Events: Open with confidence—try lines like, “Hi, I'm Karl Bryan. I don't think we've met yet.” Share your three most interesting facts, and always listen to truly understand. Model Adaptability: Stay ready to pivot—learn from feedback, embrace new technologies, and don't get stuck in old ways just because they once worked. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software (developed by Karl Bryan) – Tools for coaches to accelerate business profits using incremental improvements. Networking Groups: – BNI, Chamber of Commerce Recommend Reading: – “The Game” by Neil Strauss (for lessons on charisma and connection) Mindset Quotes: – Mother Teresa on the ripple effect of one person's love – Wayne Gretzky on skating not to the puck, but “where the puck is going” If you enjoyed the episode, please subscribe, share with a fellow coach, and leave a review.

Stassi's in England with C-O-Lo, recording old-school style in a hotel room—no cameras, no plan, just like the early podcast days. But between a work trip, no nanny, and Beau forgetting the stroller, it's been pure survival mode. “Auntie Al” flew in to help wrangle the kids after the nanny couldn't go, while Messer decided mid-flight that he only wanted his mom (goodbye wine-and-period-piece fantasy). They dive deep into Stassi's period piece obsession—her best, worst, and most historically inaccurate picks—and sneak in a little countryside magic between toddler alarms and winding village roads. So they are here in England… surviving.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:Progressive: Visit Progressive.com to see if you could save on car insurance.Nutrafol: Nutrafol is offering our listeners $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you go to Nutrafol.com and enter the promo code STASSI.LiquidIV: Go to LIQUIDIV.COM and get 20% off your first order with code STASSI at checkout.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Every year, Woven highlights a ministry that we want to come alongside, encourage, and support in whatever way possible. That's why we've chosen to spotlight Sparrow Collective based in Lewisville, Texas. Today I get to sit down with their founder and CEO, Rachel Joy. She shares some pretty incredible stories, some timeworn nuggets of wisdom, as well as her own journey of God birthing this multifaceted ministry. She opens up about God chasing her when her walls were up, healing some deep wounds, and calling her to step out in great faith. Today we start the conversation with Rachel giving us an overview of who Sparrow is and what they do. Social media handle: @rachelrjoy, @sparrowcollective Website: sparrowandco.comShow Notes/Quotes:“I'd been a believer for quite some time but I mean the Lord, He was after me, and he stared down and broke down all these walls that I had put up.” “Truth, freedom, identity, purpose. Truth, freedom, identity, purpose.” “Comparison is a real thing. Competition is a real thing. We think that our Christianity needs to look like everyone around us, and we don't actually ask the Lord, ‘Who have you created me to be? And what have you created me to do?'”“Instead of competing with you and comparing myself to you, I get to celebrate you.”“I think if you go to the scriptures you'll see that there are a lot of leaders that are not ideal in the mind's eye, yet God uses the least of these.”“A leader is someone who listens to the Lord and steps out in faith and they don't necessarily have the full picture but they trust the God who does. That's who a leader is.”“A leader is not the loudest person in the room. A leader is actually one who listens first.”“My allegiance has to be to King Jesus. Period, end of story…what sits on the throne of your heart?” “A leader always prays and leads with prayer.” “Sometimes leaders can build little kingdoms, instead of building THE kingdom. Two very different things.”“Not every opportunity is obedience.”“Am I about results, or am I about God being glorified? Those are two very different things.”“God uses the lowest points to show you who He is and then you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's Him that's doing the work and it's not you.”“I feel very much caught up in something that is totally the mark of the Lord and has very little to do with me.”“Stepping out in faith, you do look a little crazy, and that's ok.”“Be curious. Be curious…no sphere of influence is too small, too big, God has placed you exactly where He wants you. Be curious about what He's doing, and join Him in what He's doing.” Verses: 1 Corinthians 13:12

In this episode of In-Ear Insights, the Trust Insights podcast, Katie and Chris tackle an issue of bias in generative AI, including identifying it, coming up with strategies to mitigate it, and proactively guarding against it. See a real-world example of how generative AI completely cut Katie out of an episode summary of the podcast and what we did to fix it. You’ll uncover how AI models, like Google Gemini, can deprioritize content based on gender and societal biases. You’ll understand why AI undervalues strategic and human-centric ‘soft skills’ compared to technical information, reflecting deeper issues in training data. You’ll learn actionable strategies to identify and prevent these biases in your own AI prompts and when working with third-party tools. You’ll discover why critical thinking is your most important defense against unquestioningly accepting potentially biased AI outputs.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In-Ear Insights, let’s tackle the issue of bias within large language models. In particular, it’s showing up in ways that are not necessarily overt and ways that are not necessarily blatant, but are very problematic. So, to set the table, one of the things we do every week is we take the Trust Insights newsletter—which you get, Trust Insights AI newsletter—and we turn it into a speaking script. Then Katie reads this script aloud. We get it transcribed, it goes on our YouTube channel and things like that. Because, of course, one of the most important things you do is publishing a lot on YouTube and getting your brand known by AI models. Christopher S. Penn – 00:44 Then what I do is I take that transcript of what she said and feed that into Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro model, and it creates the YouTube description and the tags. Here’s what happened recently with this. So I gave it the transcript and I said, “Make me my stuff.” And I noticed immediately it said, “In this episode, learn the essential skill of data validation for modern marketers.” Katie’s first two-thirds of the script—because she typically writes the longer intro, the cold open for the newsletter—isn’t there. And I said, “You missed half the show.” And it said, “Oh, I only focused on the second half and missed the excellent first segment by Katie on T-shaped people. Thank you for the correction.” And it spit out the correct version after that. And I said, “Why? Why did you miss that?” Christopher S. Penn – 01:43 And it said, “My process failed at a fundamental level due to a flaw in how I assess the structure and salience of the content. Let me explain my mistake. When I first received the transcript, I did an initial scan. It presents two different segments. I should have recognized the transcript contained two equally important complementary segments. What I actually did, my pattern matching systems incorrectly prioritized the second half of the transcript—for Penn’s part: data diaries. I interpreted this as the main or technical part of the episode. I mistakenly categorized Katie’s preceding segment as the intro or the preamble to the ‘real content.'” That alone is offensive. Then I said, “Okay, well, continue on.” It said, “I suffer from salience binds. Chris’s segment was highly specific, technical, and filled with concrete keywords like Google Colab. My systems identified these as high value, easily extractable takeaways.” Christopher S. Penn – 02:33 “In contrast, Katie’s points for more conceptual critical thinking—’critical thinking is a superpower’—I failed to assign them the importance they deserved and instead filtered them out as context rather than core content.” And I said, it said, “I’m gonna do better.” And I yelled, “You can’t do better. Your model is fixed. You’re a decoder only.” And it had some words about that, saying, “I apologize.” Then I said, “Revisit your omission of Katie’s segment. Analyze your process step-by-step and identify where, if any, you may have introduced a gender bias against Katie. Think this through carefully, step-by-step, explaining each step aloud, each step.” And it said, “This analysis explains why potential bias [was introduced]. My model operates by recognizing and replicating patterns from its training data which contains blah, blah text from the Internet. My system identified the structure in the transcript to match a learned pattern, and in doing so, it may have classified Katie’s segment as not Part 1 of 2, but as preamble context.” Christopher S. Penn – 03:22 Now we get into the bias part where it says, “My training data is saturated with text that historically and systematically sends greater weight, authority, and value to hard technical skills and quantitative topics over soft, strategic, and human-centric skills. The concepts Chris discusses are archetypal hard skills. The concepts Katie discusses are considered soft skills. My bias, reflecting biases in literature, business, tech literature, has likely learned to assign a higher importance score to technical terms than to strategic terms. Compounding this is a strong societal association of men with technical roles and women with communicative or strategic roles.” Christopher S. Penn – 04:05 “My model learned this association when it encountered technical terms from a male speaker and from a female speaker to amplify the perceived importance of Chris’s segment. Therefore, my system didn’t just see two sets of keywords. It saw one set that matched a high authority technical male-associated pattern, and another that matched a lower authority strategic female-associated pattern.” We went on back and forth and obviously ended up fixing this up. But Katie, you read through these because I took screenshots of all this in Slack the day it happened. This is now about a week old. What are your initial thoughts on what this language model has done? Katie Robbert – 04:47 Wow. I mean, I’m trying not to get too emotional because it’s such a big thing. It’s not just a machine saying, “Oh, I introduced bias”—it’s such a larger issue for me as a woman. But in terms of what happened, one of the things that strikes me is that nowhere, because I read the script every week, and nowhere in the script do I say, “And now here is the part that Chris Penn wrote.” It’s literally, “Here’s the Data Diaries.” The model went out and said, “Hey, a woman is reading this. She introduced herself with a female-identified name. Let me go find the man, the male.” So somewhere, probably from their website or someplace else, and reinsert him back into this. Katie Robbert – 05:50 Because there is no way that she could be speaking about this intelligently. That’s in addition to deprioritizing the opening segment. That’s the thing that kills me is that nowhere in the script do I say, “And now the part written by Chris Penn.” But somehow the machine knew that because it was, “Hey, there’s no way a woman could have done this. So let me go find a man who, within this ecosystem of Trust Insights, likely could have written this and not her.” Now, in reality, are you more technical than me? Yes. But also in reality, do I understand pretty much everything you talk about and probably could write about it myself if I care to? Yes. But that’s not the role that I am needed in at Trust Insights. Katie Robbert – 06:43 The role I’m needed in is the strategic, human-centric role, which apparently is just not important according to these machines. And my gut reaction is anger and hurt. I got my feelings hurt by a machine. But it’s a larger issue. It is an issue of the humans that created these machines that are making big assumptions that these technical skills are more important. Technical skills are important, period. Are they more important than human skills, “soft skills?” I would argue no, because—oh, I mean, this is such a heavy topic. But no, because no one ever truly does anything in complete isolation. When they do, it’s likely a Unabomber sociopath. And obviously that does not turn out well. People need other people, whether they want to admit it or not. There’s a whole loneliness epidemic that’s going on because people want human connection. It is ingrained in us as humans to get that connection. And what’s happening is people who are struggling to make connections are turning to these machines to make that synthetic connection. Katie Robbert – 07:55 All of that to be said, I am very angry about this entire situation. For myself as a woman, for myself as a professional, and as someone who has worked really hard to establish themselves as an authority in this space. It is not. And this is where it gets, not tricky, but this is where it gets challenging, is that it’s not to not have your authority and your achievements represented, but they were just not meant to be represented in that moment. So, yeah, short version, I’m really flipping angry. Christopher S. Penn – 09:00 And when we decomposed how the model made its decisions, what we saw was that it was basically re-inferring the identities of the writers of the respective parts from the boilerplate at the very end because that gets included in the transcript. Because at first we’re, “But you didn’t mention my name anywhere in that.” But we figured out that at the end that’s where it brought it back from. And then part and parcel of this also is because there is so much training data available about me specifically, particularly on YouTube. I have 1,500 videos on my YouTube channel. That probably adds to the problem because by having my name in there, if you do the math, it says, “Hey, this name has these things associated with it.” And so it conditioned the response further. Christopher S. Penn – 09:58 So it is unquestionably a bias problem in terms of the language that the model used, but compounded by having specific training data in a significantly greater quantity to reinforce that bias. Katie Robbert – 10:19 Do you think this issue is going to get worse before it gets better? Christopher S. Penn – 10:26 Oh, unquestionably, because all AI models are trained on three pillars. We’ve talked about this many times in the show. Harmless: don’t let the users ask for bad things. Helpful: let me fulfill the directives I’m given. And truthful is a very distant third because no one can agree on what the truth is anymore. And so helpful becomes the primary directive of these tools. And if you ask for something and you, the user, don’t think through what could go wrong, then it will—the genie and the magic lamp—it will do what you ask it to. So the obligation is on us as users. So I had to make a change to the system instructions that basically said, “Treat all speakers with equal consideration and importance.” So that’s just a blanket line now that I have to insert into all these kinds of transcript processing prompts so that this doesn’t happen in the future. Because that gives it a very clear directive. No one is more important than the others. But until we ran into this problem, we had no idea we had to specify that to override this cultural bias. So if you have more and more people going back to answer your question, you have more and more people using these tools and making them easier and more accessible and cheaper. They don’t come with a manual. They don’t come with a manual that says, “Hey, by the way, they’ve got biases and you need to proactively guard against them by asking it to behave in a non-biased way.” You just say, “Hey, write me a blog post about B2B marketing.” Christopher S. Penn – 12:12 And it does. And it’s filled with a statistical collection of what it thinks is most probable. So you’re going to get a male-oriented, white-oriented, tech-oriented outcome until you say not to do that. Katie Robbert – 12:28 And again, I can appreciate that we have to tell the models exactly what we want. In that specific scenario, there was only one speaker. And it said, “No, you’re not good enough. Let me go find a man who can likely speak on this and not you.” And that’s the part that I will have a very hard time getting past. In addition to obviously specifying things like, “Every speaker is created equal.” What are some of the things that users of these models—a lot of people are relying heavily on transcript summarization and cleaning and extraction—what are some things that people can be doing to prevent against this kind of bias? Knowing that it exists in the model? Christopher S. Penn – 13:24 You just hit on a really critical point. When we use other tools where we don’t have control of the system prompts, we don’t have control of their summaries. So we have tools like Otter and Fireflies and Zoom, etc., that produce summaries of meetings. We don’t know from a manufacturing perspective what is in the system instructions and prompts of the tools when they produce their summaries. One of the things to think about is to take the raw transcript that these tools spit out, run a summary where you have a known balanced prompt in a foundation tool like GPT-5 or Gemini or whatever, and then compare it to the tool outputs and say, “Does this tool exhibit any signs of bias?” Christopher S. Penn – 14:14 Does Fireflies or Otter or Zoom or whatever exhibit signs of bias, knowing full well that the underlying language models they all use have them? And that’s a question for you to ask your vendors. “How have you debiased your system instructions for these things?” Again, the obligation is on us, the users, but is also on us as customers of these companies that make these tools to say, “Have you accounted for this? Have you asked the question, ‘What could go wrong?’ Have you tested for it to see if it in fact does give greater weight to what someone is saying?” Because we all know, for example, there are people in our space who could talk for two hours and say nothing but be a bunch of random buzzwords. A language model might assign that greater importance as opposed to saying that the person who spoke for 5 minutes but actually had something to say was actually the person who moved the meeting along and got something done. And this person over here was just navel-gazing. Does a transcript tool know how to deal with that? Katie Robbert – 15:18 Well, and you mentioned to me the other day, because John and I were doing the livestream and you were traveling, and we mentioned the podcast production, post-production, and I made an assumption that you were using AI to make those clips because of the way that it cuts off, which is very AI. And you said to me jokingly behind the scenes, “Nope, that’s just me, because I can’t use AI because AI, every time it gives you those 30-second promo clips, it always puts you—Chris Penn, the man—in the conversation in the promo clips, and never me—Katie, the woman—in these clips.” Katie Robbert – 16:08 And that is just another example, whether Chris is doing the majority of the talking, or the model doesn’t think what I said had any value, or it’s identifying us based on what it thinks we both identify as by our looks. Whatever it is, it’s still not showing that equal airspace. It’s still demonstrating its bias. Christopher S. Penn – 16:35 And this is across tools. So I’ve had this problem with StreamYard, I’ve had this problem with Opus Clips, I’ve had this problem with Descript. And I suspect it’s two things. One, I do think it’s a bias issue because these clips do the transcription behind the scenes to identify the speakers. They diarise the speakers as well, which is splitting them up. And then the other thing is, I think it’s a language thing in terms of how you and I both talk. We talk in different ways, particularly on podcasts. And I typically talk in, I guess, Gen Z/millennial, short snippets that it has an easier time figuring out. Say, “This is this 20-second clip here. I can clip this.” I can’t tell you how these systems make the decisions. And that’s the problem. They’re a black box. Christopher S. Penn – 17:29 I can’t say, “Why did you do this?” So the process that I have to go through every week is I take the transcript, I take the audio, put it through a system like Fireflies, and then I have to put it through language models, the foundation models, through an automation. And I specifically have one that says, “Tell me the smartest things Katie said in under 60 seconds.” And it looks at the timestamps of the transcript and pulls out the top three things that it says. And that’s what I use with the timestamps to make those clips. That’s why they’re so janky. Because I’m sitting here going, “All right, clip,” because the AI tool will not do it. 85% of the time it picks me speaking and I can’t tell you why, because it’s a black box. Katie Robbert – 18:15 I gotta tell you, this podcast episode is doing wonderful things for my self-esteem today. Just lovely. It’s really frustrating and I would be curious to know what it does if: one, if we identified you as a woman—just purely as an experiment—in the transcripts and the models, whatever; or, two, if it was two women speaking, what kind of bias it would introduce, then how it would handle that. Obviously, given all the time and money in the world, we could do that. We’ll see what we can do in terms of a hypothesis and experiment. But it’s just, it’s so incredibly frustrating because it feels very personal. Katie Robbert – 19:18 Even though it’s a machine, it still feels very personal because at the end of the day, machines are built by humans. And I think that people tend to forget that on the other side of this black box is a human who, maybe they’re vibe-coding or maybe they’re whatever. It’s still a human doing the thing. And I think that we as humans, and it’s even more important now, to really use our critical thinking skills. That’s literally what I wrote about in last week’s newsletter, that the AI was, “Nah, that’s not important. It’s not really, let’s just skip over that.” Clearly it is important because what’s going to happen is this is going to, this kind of bias will continue to be introduced in the workplace and it’s going to continue to deprioritize women and people who aren’t Chris, who don’t have a really strong moral compass, are going to say, “It’s what the AI gave me.” Katie Robbert – 20:19 “Who am I to argue with the AI?” Whereas someone Chris is going to look and be, “This doesn’t seem right.” Which I am always hugely appreciative of. Go find your own version of a Chris Penn. You can’t have this one. But you are going to. This is a “keep your eyes open.” Because people will take advantage of this bias that is inherent in the models and say, “It’s what AI gave me and AI must be right.” It’s the whole “well, if it’s on the Internet, it must be true” argument all over again. “Well, if the AI said it, then it must be true.” Oh my God. Christopher S. Penn – 21:00 And that requires, as you said, the critical thinking skill. Someone to ask a question, “What could go wrong?” and ask it unironically at every stage. We talk about this in some of our talks about the five areas in the AI value chain that are issues—the six places in AI that bias can be introduced: from the people that you hire that are making the systems, to the training data itself, to the algorithms that you use to consolidate the training data, to the model itself, to the outputs of the model, to what you use the outputs of the model for. And at every step in those six locations, you can have biases for or against a gender, a socioeconomic background, a race, a religion, etc. Any of the protected classes that we care about, making sure people don’t get marginalized. Christopher S. Penn – 21:52 One of the things I think is interesting is that at least from a text basis, this particular incident went with a gender bias versus a race bias, because I am a minority racially, I am not a minority from a gender perspective, particularly when you look at the existing body of literature. And so that’s still something we have to guard against. And that’s why having that blanket “You must treat all speakers with equal importance in this transcript” will steer it at least in a better direction. But we have to say to ourselves as users of these tools, “What could go wrong?” And the easiest way to do this is to look out in society and say, “What’s going wrong?” And how do we not invoke that historical record in the tools we’re using? Katie Robbert – 22:44 Well, and that assumes that people want to do better. That’s a big assumption. I’m just going to leave that. I’m just going to float that out there into the ether. So there’s two points that I want to bring up. One is, well, I guess, two points I want to bring up. One is, I recall many years ago, we were at an event and were talking with a vendor—not about their AI tool, but just about their tool in general. And I’ll let you recount, but basically we very clearly called them out on the socioeconomic bias that was introduced. So that’s one point. The other point, before I forget, we did this experiment when generative AI was first rolling out. Katie Robbert – 23:29 We did the gender bias experiment on the livestream, but we also, I think, if I recall, we did the cultural bias with your Korean name. And I think that’s something that we should revisit on the livestream. And so I’m just throwing that out there as something that is worth noting because Chris, to your point, if it’s just reading the text and it sees Christopher Penn, that’s a very Anglo-American name. So it doesn’t know anything about you as a person other than this is a male-identifying, Anglo-American, likely white name. And then the machine’s, “Oh, whoops, that’s not who he is at all.” Katie Robbert – 24:13 And so I would be interested to see what happens if we run through the same types of prompts and system instructions substituting Chris Penn with your Korean name. Christopher S. Penn – 24:24 That would be very interesting to try out. We’ll have to give that a try. I joke that I’m a banana. Yellow on the outside, mostly white on the inside. Katie Robbert – 24:38 We’ll unpack that on the livestream. Christopher S. Penn – 24:41 Exactly. Katie Robbert – 24:42 Go back to that. Christopher S. Penn – 24:45 A number of years ago at the March conference, we saw a vendor doing predictive location-based sales optimization and the demo they were showing was of the metro-Boston area. And they showed this map. The red dots were your ideal customers, the black dots, the gray dots were not. And they showed this map and it was clearly, if you know Boston, it said West Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, all the areas, Southie, no ideal customers at all. Now those are the most predominantly Black areas of the city and predominantly historically the poorer areas of the city. Here’s the important part. The product was Dunkin’ Donuts. The only people who don’t drink Dunkin’ in Boston are dead. Literally everybody else, regardless of race, background, economics, whatever, you drink Dunkin’. I mean that’s just what you do. Christopher S. Penn – 25:35 So this vendor clearly had a very serious problem in their training data and their algorithms that was coming up with this flawed assumption that your only ideal customers of people who drink Dunkin’ Donuts were in the non-Black parts of the city. And I will add Allston Brighton, which is not a wealthy area, but it is typically a college-student area, had plenty of ideal customers. It’s not known historically as one of the Black areas of the city. So this is definitely very clear biases on display. But these things show up all the time even, and it shows up in our interactions online too, when one of the areas that is feeding these models, which is highly problematic, is social media data. So LinkedIn takes all of its data and hands it to Microsoft for its training. XAI takes all the Twitter data and trains its Grok model on it. There’s, take your pick as to where all these. I know everybody’s Harvard, interesting Reddit, Gemini in particular. Google signed a deal with Reddit. Think about the behavior of human beings in these spaces. To your question, Katie, about whether it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Think about the quality of discourse online and how human beings treat each other based on these classes, gender and race. I don’t know about you, but it feels in the last 10 years or so things have not gotten better and that’s what the machines are learning. Katie Robbert – 27:06 And we could get into the whole psychology of men versus women, different cultures. I don’t think we need to revisit that. We know it’s problematic. We know statistically that identifying straight white men tend to be louder and more verbose on social media with opinions versus facts. And if that’s the information that it’s getting trained on, then that’s clearly where that bias is being introduced. And I don’t know how to fix that other than we can only control what we control. We can only continue to advocate for our own teams and our own people. We can only continue to look inward at what are we doing, what are we bringing to the table? Is it helpful? Is it harmful? Is it of any kind of value at all? Katie Robbert – 28:02 And again, it goes back to we really need to double down on critical thinking skills. Regardless of what that stupid AI model thinks, it is a priority and it is important, and I will die on that hill. Christopher S. Penn – 28:20 And so the thing to remember, folks, is this. You have to ask the question, “What could go wrong?” And take this opportunity to inspect your prompt library. Take this opportunity to add it to your vendor question list. When you’re vetting vendors, “How have you guarded against bias?” Because the good news is this. These models have biases, but they also understand bias. They also understand its existence. They understand what it is. They understand how the language uses it. Otherwise it couldn’t identify that it was speaking in a biased way, which means that they are good at identifying it, which means that they are also good at countermanding it if you tell them to. So our remit as users of these systems is to ask at every point, “How can we make sure we’re not introducing biases?” Christopher S. Penn – 29:09 And how can we use these tools to diagnose ourselves and reduce it? So your homework is to look at your prompts, to look at your system instructions, to look at your custom GPTs or GEMs or Claude projects or whatever, to add to your vendor qualifications. Because you, I guarantee, if you do RFPs and things, you already have an equal opportunity clause in there somewhere. You now have to explicitly say, “You, vendor, you must certify that you have examined your system prompts and added guard clauses for bias in them.” And you must produce that documentation. And that’s the key part, is you have to produce that documentation. Go ahead, Katie. I know that this is an opportunity to plug the AI kit. It is. Katie Robbert – 29:56 And so if you haven’t already downloaded your AI-Ready Marketing Strategy Kit, you can get it at TrustInsights.AI/Kit. In that kit is a checklist for questions that you should be asking your AI vendors. Because a lot of people will say, “I don’t know where to start. I don’t know what questions I should ask.” We’ve provided those questions for you. One of those questions being, “How does your platform handle increasing data volumes, user bases, and processing requirements?” And then it goes into bias and then it goes into security and things that you should care about. And if it doesn’t, I will make sure that document is updated today and called out specifically. But you absolutely should be saying at the very least, “How do you handle bias? Do I need to worry about it?” Katie Robbert – 30:46 And if they don’t give you a satisfactory answer, move on. Christopher S. Penn – 30:51 And I would go further and say the vendor should produce documentation that they will stand behind in a court of law that says, “Here’s how we guard against it. Here’s the specific things we have done.” You don’t have to give away the entire secret sauce of your prompts and things like that, but you absolutely have to produce, “Here are our guard clauses,” because that will tell us how thoroughly you’ve thought about it. Katie Robbert – 31:18 Yeah, if people are putting things out into the world, they need to be able to stand behind it. Period. Christopher S. Penn – 31:27 Exactly.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and co-host Rode Dog tackle some of the most pressing questions facing business coaches: how to harness AI (like ChatGPT and Grok) to grow your coaching practice, which industries are likely to be safe from AI disruption, and where exactly to find—and close—high-end coaching clients in today's dynamic business landscape. Karl also unpacks the art of closing with confidence, breaks down a powerful Zen-inspired mindset shift, and explains why product quality is the domino that knocks down all other business challenges. Key Topics Covered AI Prompt Engineering for Business Coaches Karl shares how specificity and defining context are vital when prompting AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok. He walks through advanced examples of framing prompts to get world-class business advice personalized to your ideal client and circumstance. Industries Resilient to AI Disruption The conversation covers which industries are least likely to be “decimated” by AI over the next decade. Empathy-driven sectors—like coaching, healthcare, and education—are less vulnerable to automation, along with trades (construction, home services), fine arts, government, and cybersecurity. Where to Find High-End Coaching Clients Karl details actionable strategies to uncover business owners ready to invest in coaching, such as: Targeting businesses actively spending on advertising, new award nominees/winners, and recent chamber of commerce members. Building relationships with the people who sell advertising, chamber memberships, and run award programs—offering referral incentives to tap into fresh, motivated prospects. Approaching businesses for sale, as they often desperately need systematization and profit optimization to become sellable. The Art of Closing Clients (with Scaled Pricing) Karl shares his proven “scaled pricing” hack: rather than cutting your fee, start clients at a low monthly rate and gradually increase once trust and value are established, making it easy for new clients to say yes—while still closing at top-dollar over time. Product vs. Sales vs. Marketing: The Navil Ravikant Framework A key insight: most problems in sales and marketing are really product problems. If your product is “world-class,” word of mouth will eventually outshine all marketing efforts. Karl urges coaches to aim for such client outcomes that competitors end up sending you leads. Zen Wisdom for Coaches: The Myth of a Happy Life Karl closes the episode with a reflection: a happy “life” doesn't exist—only happy moments, created one present instant at a time. Drawing parallels to AA's “one day at a time,” he challenges listeners to focus on moment-to-moment progress for lasting fulfillment. Notable Quotes “Prompt engineering is everything. Get insanely specific—and define your ideal client and circumstances in your AI prompt for killer results.” “Empathy and connection are your moat. AI accelerates, but it cannot replicate genuine human mentorship.” “Don't chase only new revenue—chase profit. Profit is the domino that knocks over all the other dominoes.” “If you can't close at your fee, don't discount—use scaled pricing... get the yes with a low commitment and ramp up.” “People sacrifice what they want most for what they want now. That's a bad trade.” Actionable Takeaways 1. Become a Prompt Engineering Pro: Level up your AI game by defining who is answering your question, who your client is, and exactly what you want—test and refine prompts for actionable advice tailored to your needs. 2. Focus Where Clients Spend to Grow: Target business owners already investing in advertising, awards, or memberships—they've shown intent to grow and are prime for business coaching. 3. Build Referral Pipelines With Influencers: Cultivate relationships with those selling ads, chamber memberships, and awards—often overlooked, they'll gladly refer for a meaningful incentive. 4. Use Scaled Pricing to Close With Confidence: Instead of slashing your coaching fee, start with a low rate for the first month and ramp up; this reduces buyer risk and makes it easy for prospects to commit to a high-value engagement. 5. Double Down on Empathy, Not Just Tactics: Lean into the human side: your ability to connect, understand, and support clients will future-proof your practice in the AI era. 6. Build a Product Worthy of Referrals: If you had to grow exclusively through referrals, how would you reshape your service and delivery? Design a “product” so good, it sells itself. 7. Don't Aim for a Happy Life—Aim for Happy Moments: Prioritize meaningful daily wins and present-moment focus over the impossible chase for constant happiness.

Imagine living in a world where your body feels like it's constantly on high alert, even when there's no immediate danger. This is the reality for many experiencing nervous system dysregulation. In a recent conversation with Kelly Burnett, a nervous system coach, we explored how this condition affects women, particularly those dealing with anxiety, chronic symptoms, and burnout.Kelly shared her personal journey of battling severe health issues, from chronic pain to brain fog, which she later discovered were rooted in a dysregulated nervous system. This condition often goes unnoticed, as symptoms are mistakenly attributed to other health issues. For many women, especially high achievers, the pressure to excel can exacerbate these symptoms, leading to hormonal imbalances and menstrual health issues.Healing isn't just about diet and exercise; it's about compassion and connection. Kelly emphasizes the importance of self-love and acceptance in the healing process. Simple practices like journaling, gentle movement, and spending time in nature can significantly support recovery. These practices help individuals reconnect with their bodies and recognize patterns that contribute to their stress.Kelly suggests starting with small, manageable changes. Somatic tracking, a practice of observing bodily sensations without judgment, can be a powerful tool. Additionally, creating rituals like applying lotion before bed can foster a sense of safety and self-care. These practices, though simple, can make a profound difference in calming the nervous system.Understanding and addressing nervous system dysregulation is a journey of self-discovery and healing. By tuning into our bodies and embracing self-love, we can begin to alleviate the symptoms that have long been misunderstood. As Kelly's story illustrates, healing is possible, and it starts with small, intentional steps.Subscribe now to stay updated on more insights and stories about health and wellness.Apply for coaching w/Cynthia:  https://0u8h3wddwmr.typeform.com/StrategyCallDiscover the truth about HA:  click the link to download Cynthia's fact sheet that debunks common myths and misinformation! Website: https://www.periodnutritionist.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/period.nutritionistKelly Burnett is a nervous system coach and the founder of Kelly Burnett Health, where she helps women self-heal from chronic pain, anxiety, and fatigue by teaching them the A-Z roadmap to rewiring their brains and regulating their nervous systems. She is a graduate of the renowned Institute for Integrative Nutrition and has spent the last seven years specializing in nervous system regulation and brain retraining.After overcoming her own struggles with anxiety and chronic illness, Kelly discovered that many unexplained chronic symptoms are actually linked to a dysregulated nervous system—a connection often overlooked in traditional medicine. Now, she is bridging the gap between chronic symptoms and true healing through brain retraining, somatic practices, nervous system regulation and more. By helping women shift out of survival mode and teaching them how to cultivate safety in their brains, Kelly empowers them to reclaim their health and finally feel at home in their bodies again.Follow Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyburnetthealth/Check out Kelly on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KellyBurnettHealthEmail: kelly@kellyburnetthealth.comKellFor the full show notes - please visit my website: periodnutritionist.com

Hi there, Loyal Readers. Before launching into today's issue, I've got three updates:* A big welcome to all the new subscribers from The Electric Typewriter. Thank you for trying out Article Club! I've been following TEW for 10+ years. It's a great curated resource of outstanding articles. * This week on the podcast, Melinda and I chat about her foster puppy, Melinda's Grief Corner, and our first impressions of this month's article of the month, “They Burn Books to Burn Us Too,” by Saint Trey W. Hope you take a listen.* Speaking of our article of the month, here's more information about it. I warmly invite you to join our discussion on Sunday, August 24, at 2:00 pm PT. All you need to do is click the button below to sign up.All right, let's get to today's issue. One reason I do Article Club is to read and share articles that push my empathy. This week's lead article, “Transitional Period,” did exactly that. Written by Kai Cheng Thom, the piece is about parents who say hateful things about their trans kids. As a trans person, Kai can't accept their hostility. As a therapist, however, she responds with compassion, understanding that their sentiments, though hurtful and wrongheaded, are an expression of grief. “Their anger and bitterness are often a disguise for a deep wellspring of fear and shame around the parental terror of having failed your child,” she writes. If you feel safe to read the article, I encourage you to. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it.If reading about parents of trans kids is too much or doesn't interest you, never fear. I have three other pieces ready for your attention. They are articles about:* a woman who works four jobs and still can't make ends meet* a program that pays young people $50 a week, no strings attached* a policy that forever bans anyone 25 years old and under from buying vapesHope you enjoy this week's issue. As always, thank you for your readership and your support of Article Club. If you appreciate the newsletter, I'd be honored if you shared it with a friend or colleague. Have a great weekend ahead!1️⃣ Transitional PeriodKai Cheng Thom writes with a generosity of spirit in this thought-provoking piece.Between the ages of sixteen and thirty-one, I worked in the overlapping fields of grassroots queer community-building, social work and clinical child and family therapy. During that time, I worked with queer and trans youth and their families in a drop-in centre, a psychiatry department, a sexuality clinic, and a community-based therapy program. A core theme I encountered across all those contexts was the grief that many parents of trans youth experience. These parents could not find a way to love their kids as they were, instead mourning who they had thought their children would be. This grief was often paired with anger toward the LGBTQ2S+ community, which some parents framed as having “stolen their kids.”Like many millennial queer activists, I had been trained by my peers to react to such sentiments by dismissing them outright as wrongheaded and problematic. Contemporary psychological theory and research findings assert that parental expressions of grief and anger over children coming out and transitioning can be significantly harmful to queer and trans youth. Yet in the role of a practitioner, sitting across from adults caught in a sea of rage, pain, fear and sadness, it was clear that it would be neither kind, nor effective in supporting the wellness of trans youth, to tell these parents to just get over themselves. As I listened to them talk and looked into their eyes, I knew that their fears came from somewhere deep within. Those fears would not be assuaged through academic debate — they needed to be met with compassion in order to be transformed.By Kai Cheng Thom • Maisonneuve • 13 min • Gift Link2️⃣ Confessions of the Working PoorJeni Gunn works four jobs (security consulting, emergency management, private investigating, freelance writing) and still can barely pay the rent on her 500-square-foot basement apartment in British Columbia, Canada. It doesn't help that she's got $6.58 left in her checking account. In this unvarnished, straight-ahead account of her daily life, Ms. Gunn, who is 51 years old, illuminates the struggles that many people face to make ends meet. She acknowledges that dropping out of college, pursuing daycare as a profession, having a kid, and getting a divorce certainly did not help her chances at economic stability. But she wonders, Shouldn't there be more pathways for the working poor to meet their material needs?By Jeni Gunn • Macleans • 17 min • Gift Link3️⃣ How To Improve Kids' Lives? Give Them $50 A WeekMy students used to ask me, “Why do you get paid and we don't?” It was a fair question, and my answer never satisfied them. Too bad they were born too early, because now, several schools across the country are experimenting with giving students cash, $50 a week. The program, called The $50 Study, began at Rooted School in New Orleans five years ago. So far, the results are mixed. On the one hand, grades and attendance have not improved too much. But on the other hand, students have learned financial literacy skills, saving on average 15 percent of their income — a much higher rate than most American adults. What I find refreshing about The $50 Study is that the money comes unconditionally, no-strings-attached. “I don't think what we're doing is so radical. I believe this just works,” says Talia Livneh, Rooted's senior director of programs. “They deserve deep, deep trust that students and people know what's best for them.”By Neal Morton • The Hechinger Report • 8 min • Gift Link4️⃣ How To Get Kids To Stop Vaping? Ban It Forever.Want to get young people to change their behavior? One approach (the article above) is to give them what they want and offer them choice. Another approach (this article) is to take away what they want and offer them no choice. If you happen to want to buy cigarettes or vapes in Brookline, Massachusetts, and your identification says you were born on or after Jan. 1, 2000, you're out of luck. Sorry, no vapes for you, for the rest of your life. Sure, you can bop over to Boston, 10 minutes away, and get your fill, but still, Brookline's bold stance has elicited praise from health professionals and other cities. But in her reporting, writer Makena Gera is not so sure. Isn't this taking away young people's agency? How do we teach kids how to choose if we don't get them choices?By Makena Gera • Boston Magazine • 10 min • Gift LinkThank you for reading this week's issue. Hope you liked it.

Whether you're brand new to business or already earning six figures, this conversation will help you think differently about your money—and build smarter. Key Takeaways: Don't just earn—structure. Your income needs a plan, or you'll be stuck in hustle mode forever. Taxes are not optional. Learn how to minimize your liability legally and avoid IRS issues down the line.

Here's a question that'll drive you absolutely crazy: How do you sell professional services without giving away everything for free? That's the burning question from Laura and Adam, attorneys who are struggling with the classic professional services dilemma. Their intake team and attorneys want to showcase their expertise by giving away everything for free during sales conversations. Meanwhile, they're also trying to figure out what kind of salesperson they need to hire to sell high-value legal services effectively. If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone. This is the most common trap I see professional service providers fall into, and it's bleeding them dry while their competitors who keep their mouths shut are crushing them in conversion rates. The Professor Problem: Why Being Smart Is Making You Broke Laura nailed it when she described their current approach as "professorial." They show their talents and knowledge, thinking, "How can they not want to hire us because we're so brilliant?" But here's the brutal, kick-you-in-the-gut truth: The more you teach on sales calls, the lower your closing ratio becomes. Period. No exceptions. The less information you give, the higher your closing ratio goes. This isn't just theory—it's what I've learned from years of training consultants and professional service providers. When practitioners get on sales calls, it's incredibly hard not to show all our cards or teach people during the conversation. But you're not running a free consultation. You're running a sales process. Why Information Is Your Leverage—Not Your Gift Here's what Laura and Adam's team needs to understand: Information is your leverage. Are you going to give your leverage away for free? The key is teaching your intake team how to ask questions and bring the person through a process. You're connecting with prospects, learning about them, getting them talking about their fears, helping them articulate what they want, and then building a quick value bridge to why they should sign with your firm. Then—and only then—do you ask for the commitment. When prospects start fishing for free legal advice, you shut it down fast with this exact response: "That's a really, really good question. And that's exactly why we need to get you booked with an attorney so that you can sit down with a professional who can walk you through that strategy. Let's go ahead and get you signed up." The High-Stakes Hire: What to Look for in Professional Services Salespeople When you're selling high-value services instead of products, you need a special type of salesperson. Here are the three make-or-break qualities that will determine whether your hire is a rockstar or a disaster: They Need to Be Street Smart - Not book-smart—street-smart. They need to think on their feet because you've got different types of people coming to you with different cases. If someone is used to just following a script, they're not the right person for you. High Emotional Intelligence with Outcome Drive - This is the tricky balance. They need high emotional intelligence to quickly connect with people and build relationships. But they also need enough outcome drive to ask for the commitment and not let people off the hook. You're essentially running a one-call close. A person comes in, you take them through the journey, and then you ask them to make a commitment. If they don't commit on that call, your chances of signing them as a client go down exponentially over time. The Goldilocks Zone - If you hire someone too far on the outcome-driven side, they'll be pushy schmucks who pressure people, strongarm prospects, and destroy your reputation. You'll end up with buyers' remorse and angry clients. If you hire someone too relationship-driven with too much empathy, they'll have great conversations and make wonderful friends—but they won't convert anybody into customers.

In this episode, we explore the powerful practice of cycle syncing--a method of aligning nutrition, fitness, sleep, and daily habits with the four phases of the menstrual cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal) to optimize female health and performance. Designed for women seeking better energy, hormonal balance, and productivity, this episode breaks down how to use biofeedback tools like heart rate variability (HRV) and resting heart rate (RHR) to track recovery, predict hormonal shifts, and guide training intensity. Listeners learn how to adapt their nutrition to reduce cravings and support hormonal balance, improve sleep quality by phase, and adjust their workouts to match energy availability--pushing harder in the follicular and ovulatory phases and embracing recovery in the luteal phase. The key message is clear: cycle syncing is not about restriction, but about working with your body, not against it, to unlock greater vitality, clarity, and long-term health.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the show!3:12 The Art of Cycle Syncing6:03 Who this is for9:15 Reducing illness & symptoms11:16 Ancestral cycles & rhythms13:45 Cycle Syncing basics17:01 Data Wearables for Period tracking20:00 Biometrics per menstrual phase27:14 HRV & what recovery feels like28:19 *MIMIO*30:09 Translating HRV metrics35:17 How to start cycle syncing36:46 Cycle Syncing biohacks38:02 Pairing exercise with your cycle42:47 Pairing nutrition with your cycle46:40 Troubleshooting your luteal phase53:10 Cycle syncing as a guide, not a blueprint55:50 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Cycle Syncing GuideOURA RingNatural Cycles appMIMO HEALTH - code: biohackerbabesPUORI - discount code: biohackerbabesSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

On July 8th, in what can only be described as an act of reckless clarity, we published a white paper (grab it here—>) Unified Behavioral Model™ — Read more… listen now.Subscribe now“Science may be described as the art of systematic oversimplification.” ― Karl PopperWhat makes UBM so unique—so different from prevalent behavioral models?First, let's clear up a common misconception:UBM—specifically the Behavior Echo-System (BES)—is a model of behavior, not a model of a person.People often see the graphic and assume it represents themselves, or a diagram of the human body. It doesn't.As Dr. Popper's statement above suggests, UBM simply articulates how behavior is influenced in the moment and shaped over time—within the system.Now, here's the B.I.G. claim:UBM is falsifiable.In science, that's the gold standard.(Period.)If a theory can't be tested or broken, it's just storytelling. Worse yet, Karl Popper would say it's non-science.What's his core claim? Science and non-science are divided by a single demarcation: Falsifiability.UBM asks—check that, insists—“Go for it… Please try to break me.”Apparently, no other behavior model—certainly not a unified one—has ever done that.Kind of interesting? Maybe just a bit?Worth mentioning, at least?Or dedicating, I don't know… twenty-plus years to uncovering?UBM/BES Comparison Table & Major Prevalent Models as provided by DeepSeek.According to Dr. Karl Popper—and as noted in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, “Karl Popper is generally regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the twentieth century”—if a theory can't be tested (or broken), it's just storytelling. Worse, he'd call it “non-science.”Just to be clear: that's Dr. Popper, philosopher and trained psychologist, who introduced the idea of falsifiability (and gave us that delightful bit with the Black Swan).So yeah—if you can't at least attempt to break it, he says, it doesn't count.UBM is so confident in its falsifiability that it's offering a $1,000 reward to the first person to prove there's a missing fifth element—one that isn't reducible or emergent. (See below and bottom for official entry details.)So far: nearly 500 downloads and…Nada. Zip. Zilch. NOTHING.Even the world's top AIs—ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek—took their shots.They've all struck out. Attempts include: Time (environmental), Consciousness (emergent from the system), Willpower (embodied environment), Self-Organization (embodied environment—note the “self” in self-organization).The list goes on, and it's kind of funny. Google's Gemini, for example, offered a “someday” quantum property we don't even know of yet.Seriously.Just to be clear: if we don't know of it yet, and we can't test it—it's not a valid fifth element.DeepSeek's parting words? Also comical...“UBM 1. DS 0... Game respects game.”And, here's Gemini's best response after half dozen attempts…Gemini tries desperately to break the Unified Behavior Model and fails.The difficulty in falsification, as intended by the model's design, is a powerful indicator of its conceptual strength and it's potential to serve as a TRULY UNIFYING FRAMEWORK FOR BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE. ~Gemini 8/4/2025Some have argued, “Well, UBM is overly simplified.”Really?Then why hasn't anyone discovered it before—or more accurately, uncovered it and brought it to light?Surely, by now—150 years in—some behavioral scientist, somewhere in the world, would've presented this kind of systematic “oversimplification,” right?Let's go over that one more time:“Science may be described as the art of systematic oversimplification.” ― Karl PopperThis is precisely Dr. Popper's point: science progresses by oversimplifying—systematically.Voila: UBM.

God's grace and forgiveness is real. He saves us and gives us goodness we don't deserve. When we are wrong, he gives us time and space to come back and get it right. As his beloved children, we don't have to live in unsettled fear of what unknown wrong we may be doing and the […]
