Podcasts about Personality

 THE LEGACY OF THE GREAT COMMUNICATOR Colleague Max Boot. Boot reflects on Reagan's legacy, noting his "genial and aloof" personality rooted in childhood trauma. He discusses the superficial nature of Reagan's diaries, his economic record aided by Paul Volcker, and his unassuming nature, exemplified by a story about an uncomfortable chair he refused to complain about.

You don't need a photoshoot.You don't need new content.And you definitely don't need to overthink it. In this Friday Fuel episode, I'm sharing how to turn what's already sitting in your camera roll into real sales this weekend using photos and videos you've already taken. If you've been telling yourself you'll show up “when things are more polished,” this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting and start posting. Your phone is full of content that sells, you just haven't used it yet. I walk you through exactly what to look for in your camera roll, including: Packing boxes Unboxing moments Stacked shipments Labels, inserts, and flat lays Sneak peeks of inventory Your hands assembling boxes Your workspace mid-ship Even the messy, in-progress moments count. Especially those. Your audience isn't just buying a box. They're buying from you. In this episode, I explain why everyday, non-business photos build trust. And how trust leads to sales. Things like: Your morning coffee while prepping orders A walk outside while thinking through next month's box Your dog hanging out in the office A messy work table before launch A quick post office run Travel photos with a behind-the-scenes caption These aren't filler posts. They're connection builders. A Simple 3-Day Posting Plan (Friday–Sunday) I break it down into a realistic, no-stress weekend posting plan using only what's already on your phone. Friday: Visibility & Light CTA Reel or short clip (packing, organizing, workspace setup) Casual text like: “Packing this month's box. Want one?” Simple static post with a clear link-in-bio CTA Saturday: Show Value + Build Connection Carousel showing what's inside the box Stories with behind-the-scenes clips, product shots, polls, or countdowns A quick “can't wait for these to go out” talking clip if you want Sunday: Urgency + Final Push Reel or story of boxes stacked or ready to ship Static post with a detail shot Clear urgency: “This box ships tomorrow. Last chance to grab yours.” You don't need to overthink it You just need to scroll through your phone and post Take Action:  Pick one photo from your camera roll right now, write a quick caption, and post it before the end of the day. And remember:  Real moments sell. Personality sells. Connection with your audience sells. And your camera roll already has everything you need. Join me for this episode, where I'll show you how to scroll your camera roll, pick a few everyday photos, and turn them into connection, visibility, and real sales this weekend. No new content, no overthinking, just action. Join me in all the places:     Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website  Are you ready for Launch Your Box?

From the frontlines of OpenAI's Codex and GPT-5 training teams, Bryan and Bill are building the future of AI-powered coding—where agents don't just autocomplete, they architect, refactor, and ship entire features while you sleep. We caught up with them at AI Engineer Conference right after the launch of Codex Max, OpenAI's newest long-running coding agent designed to work for 24+ hours straight, manage its own context, and spawn sub-agents to parallelize work across your entire codebase. We sat down with Bryan and Bill to dig into what it actually takes to train a model that developers trust—why personality, communication, and planning matter as much as raw capability, how Codex is trained with strong opinions about tools (it loves rg over grep, seriously), why the abstraction layer is moving from models to full-stack agents you can plug into VS Code or Zed, how OpenAI partners co-develop tool integrations and discover unexpected model habits (like renaming tools to match Codex's internal training), the rise of applied evals that measure real-world impact instead of academic benchmarks, why multi-turn evals are the next frontier (and Bryan's "job interview eval" idea), how coding agents are breaking out of code into personal automation, terminal workflows, and computer use, and their 2026 vision: coding agents trusted enough to handle the hardest refactors at any company, not just top-tier firms, and general enough to build integrations, organize your desktop, and unlock capabilities you'd never get access to otherwise. We discuss: What Codex Max is: a long-running coding agent that can work 24+ hours, manage its own context window, and spawn sub-agents for parallel work Why the name "Max": maximalist, maximization, speed and endurance—it's simply better and faster for the same problems Training for personality: communication, planning, context gathering, and checking your work as behavioral characteristics, not just capabilities How Codex develops habits like preferring rg over grep, and why renaming tools to match its training (e.g., terminal-style naming) dramatically improves tool-call performance The split between Codex (opinionated, agent-focused, optimized for the Codex harness) and GPT-5 (general, more durable across different tools and modalities) Why the abstraction layer is moving up: from prompting models to plugging in full agents (Codex, GitHub Copilot, Zed) that package the entire stack The rise of sub-agents and agents-using-agents: Codex Max spawning its own instances, handing off context, and parallelizing work across a codebase How OpenAI works with coding partners on the bleeding edge to co-develop tool integrations and discover what the model is actually good at The shift to applied evals: capturing real-world use cases instead of academic benchmarks, and why ~50% of OpenAI employees now use Codex daily Why multi-turn evals are the next frontier: LM-as-a-judge for entire trajectories, Bryan's "job interview eval" concept, and the need for a batch multi-turn eval API How coding agents are breaking out of code: personal automation, organizing desktops, terminal workflows, and "Devin for non-coding" use cases Why Slack is the ultimate UI for work, and how coding agents can become your personal automation layer for email, files, and everything in between The 2026 vision: more computer use, more trust, and coding agents capable enough that any company can access top-tier developer capabilities, not just elite firms — Bryan & Bill (OpenAI Codex Team) http://x.com/bfioca https://x.com/realchillben OpenAI Codex: https://openai.com/index/openai-codex/ Where to find Latent Space X: https://x.com/latentspacepod Substack: https://www.latent.space/ Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: Latent Space Listeners at AI Engineer Code 00:01:27 Codex Max Launch: Training for Long-Running Coding Agents 00:03:01 Model Personality and Trust: Communication, Planning, and Self-Checking 00:05:20 Codex vs GPT-5: Opinionated Agents vs General Models 00:07:47 Tool Use and Model Habits: The Ripgrep Discovery 00:09:16 Personality Design: Verbosity vs Efficiency in Coding Agents 00:11:56 The Agent Abstraction Layer: Building on Top of Codex 00:14:08 Sub-Agents and Multi-Agent Patterns: The Future of Composition 00:16:11 Trust and Adoption: OpenAI Developers Using Codex Daily 00:17:21 Applied Evals: Real-World Testing vs Academic Benchmarks 00:19:15 Multi-Turn Evals and the Job Interview Pattern 00:21:35 Feature Request: Batch Multi-Turn Eval API 00:22:28 Beyond Code: Personal Automation and Computer Use 00:24:51 Vision-Native Agents and the UI Integration Challenge 00:25:02 2026 Predictions: Trust, Computer Use, and Democratized Excellence

What if desire isn't random — and intimacy isn't accidental? In this episode of Skin & Soul, I'm joined by David Bederman, spiritual teacher, behavioral strategist, and creator of The Personality Code — a system rooted in Kabbalah that explores the hidden wiring shaping how we love, attract, create, and evolve. We talk about Kabbalah as an ancient energetic framework and how it illuminates desire, attraction patterns, masculine and feminine energies, soul growth, and erotic repetition. We explore why we're drawn to who we're drawn to, how intimacy reveals our deepest wiring, and why sex and eros may be among the most powerful forces for spiritual evolution.

In this festive descent into methodological despair, Chris and Matt convene a secret cabal of elite psychology podcasters within the Decoding Cloister, operating under the distant yet reassuring gaze of Arch-Wizard Paul Bloom, whose role is largely ceremonial but nonetheless morally binding.Joining them are Dave Pizarro (Very Bad Wizards) and Michael Inzlicht (Two Psychologists Four Beers, emeritus), for what can only be described as an end-of-year audit of social psychology's moral character.What follows is a mixture of intense hubris, disciplinary self-loathing, and revolutionary insights, delivered via one of the most sadistic Christmas quizzes ever devised. The quiz format allows the episode to do what psychology does best: create the feeling of measurement while hovering dangerously close to intuition.Alongside the quiz, we engage in some meta-commentary and sensemaking reflections on audience capture and the state of psychology-themed podcasts in 2025. In other words, it's Christmas, so naturally everyone is discussing perverse incentives, damaged reputations, and the slow moral corrosion of institutions.So join us, won't you?

Are you an extrovert or an introvert? Do you enjoy small talk with strangers or do you do everything you can to avoid catching their eye? Type A or Type B?Right now the internet is obsessed with these labels. Personality types, birth charts, attachment styles, Myers Briggs, colour coding your aura.These days the internet is full of tests that attempt to define who you are by answering questionnaires, but the reality is more complicated. We go through these trends with Claudia Hammond, a psychologist and BBC presenter. Plus we hear from BBC colleagues in other parts of the world.

Alex Harper grew up in Cleveland, Ohio with a good family and a normal upbringing, but at just 16 years old he made a decision that would change his life forever. While still in high school and later in college, Alex began robbing banks, eventually landing on the radar of federal authorities and being sent to federal prison for the first time. After his release, he tried to turn his life around, but bad decisions and old patterns pulled him back in, leading to more bank robberies and a second prison sentence. In this episode, Alex shares how he went from a regular kid to a repeat federal inmate, what federal prison was really like, and how he eventually found his purpose and truly turned his life around. _____________________________________________ #TrueCrime #PrisonStories #FederalPrison #BankRobbery #LifeAfterPrison #CrimeStory #RedemptionStory #LockedInWithIanBick _____________________________________________ Thank you to K9S.ORG for sponsoring this episode: Donate anytime at https://k9s.org/ Connect with Alex Harper: https://www.instagram.com/votealexharper/?hl=en Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Robbing Banks at 16 – How It All Started 01:35 First Arrest, Probation & Learning the System 04:22 Life After Prison: Supervision, Temptation & Pressure 06:00 Family, Childhood & Where Things Went Wrong 09:00 Early Gambling Addiction & Sports Betting Obsession 13:25 High School Double Life & First Bank Robbery 15:53 Escalation: More Robberies & How He Avoided Getting Caught 21:22 Bank Robbery Tactics, Mistakes & Hard Lessons Learned 25:54 College Life, Personality & Living Two Lives 29:44 Law School Dreams vs. Gambling Addiction 35:23 Getting Caught: The Moment Everything Fell Apart 41:31 First Time in Prison: Survival, Hustling & Reality Check 53:54 Running Gambling Operations Behind Bars 01:03:12 Released From Prison… Then Slipping Back 01:13:20 Second Sentence & Destroying Family Relationships 01:27:00 Depression, Accountability & Choosing Change 01:37:20 Life After Prison: Recidivism, Struggles & Reality 01:55:24 Finding Purpose, Giving Back & Redefining Success 02:08:00 Why the System Makes It Hard to Stay Free (Final Thoughts) Learn more about your ad choices.

In this conversation, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Jamie Lee, a trauma-forged, intuition-led mother who has become a leading voice in the Heavy Metal Detox Mom Movement. Jamie shares her powerful origin story and walks us through her daughter's early developmental delays, the intense pressure to vaccinate, the dismissive responses from pediatricians, and the moment she said "enough" and took healing into her own hands. Together, they unpack how children are programmed by media, pharma marketing, and the medical system, why speech delays, regressions, ADHD, eczema, and "autism" have been normalized but are not normal, Jamie's experience with heavy metal detox, fulvic, zeolite, and gut healing, and much more! If you're a parent questioning the narrative, feeling the intuitive nudge that "something's off," and wanting practical solutions, this episode will both challenge and empower you.   Highlights:   "These issues have been normalized. They are common, but they are not normal."   "No child should ever move backward in speech or development. A regression is not normal, mamas."    "I just knew I needed to do something now. I was done with this rigamarole with doctors."    "I want a future generation of kids who are unfuckwithable."    Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 04:05 – Growing Up in Darkness: Learning to Read Energy and Question Authority 07:58 – "Common but Not Normal": Delays, ADHD, and Regressions in Kids 10:26 – Pregnancy, Vaccine Pressure, and the First Crack in Trust 14:52 – Nonverbal at Two: Autism Threat, No Answers, and Walking Away 15:54 – Heavy Metal Detox Breakthrough: Five Days to Speech and Personality 19:00 – Why Today's Kids Are More Toxic Than Ever 32:29 – Zeolite, Fulvic, and Minerals: Jamie's Core Child Healing Protocol 40:17 – Jamie's Mission: Helping Mothers Heal Their Children at Home 53:22 – Non-Negotiables: Whole Foods, Sunlight, Grounding, and Intuition   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Jamie Lee Jamie Lee is the creator of the Heavy Metal Detox Mom movement—a global awareness wave rooted in exposing the truth about developmental delays and hidden toxicity in children. Her social media presence exploded after sharing her daughter's healing journey, revealing how heavy metals, parasites, and environmental toxins silently disrupt neurological development. Through her viral educational content, Jamie empowers mothers to take their children's healing into their own hands with intuition, detox science, and natural solutions. Her work has reached millions and revolutionized the way families approach developmental delays, chronic symptoms, and "mystery" childhood conditions. Jamie is now one of the leading voices in root-cause healing, heavy metal detoxing, and telomere-based regenerative wellness.

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we explore a fundamental question for professionals in tech: Which type of company is the right fit for your current stage in life and career? Whether it's a startup, a pre-IPO company, or a public corporation, each environment offers its own opportunities, challenges, and financial implications. Jag walks through the trade-offs with Amy Walls of Thimbleberry Financial, breaking down not only what to expect at each stage but also how to make a decision that aligns with our values, personality, and financial goals.We begin by examining the startup world—fast-paced, creative, and filled with uncertainty. It's a space for people who love to experiment and thrive in ambiguity. The upside can be big: ownership, impact, and equity at low initial prices. But the downsides—unpredictable income, fewer benefits, and emotional strain—are just as real. Amy shares stories of clients who initially thrived in startup life but found it incompatible with long-term needs like family time or structured days.Next, we shift to pre-IPO companies, which often represent a middle ground. These firms offer more stability than startups but still retain a sense of mission and momentum. Equity typically comes in the form of RSUs, and while there's real potential for financial gain, it hinges heavily on IPO timing—something employees can't always control. Amy emphasizes the importance of planning for delays, setting aside cash, and staying flexible when managing that equity.Public companies offer clarity and predictability—stable salaries, strong benefits, and slower but more structured growth paths. For professionals seeking balance, or with greater family or financial obligations, this environment often provides the support and stability they need. The culture tends to be more formal, but that predictability can actually empower people to do their best work.Ultimately, the conversation centers around fit—not which company is best, but which is best for us, right now. Personality, financial goals, and life stage all play a role. A startup might make sense early in a career, while a more structured setting could become the right choice later on. Amy reminds us that romanticizing a company type—or even our own preferences—can lead us astray, and encourages getting honest feedback from those who know us best.We wrap by reinforcing that job decisions should balance financial and emotional fit. Before accepting an offer, it's critical to understand the equity structure, total compensation, pace of work, and company culture. Especially in today's tight job market, doing our due diligence can prevent long-term regret and position us to thrive both professionally and personally.00:00 - Intro and Episode Setup  00:49 - Startup Culture: Opportunity vs. Chaos  03:19 - Pre-IPO Companies: Growth with Guardrails  06:08 - Public Companies: Structure and Stability  09:27 - It's About Fit: Personality and Life Stage  11:43 - Culture, Pace, and Real-Life Trade-offs  13:43 - When the Job Market is Tight  14:17 - Takeaways: Equity, Compensation, and Culture  16:44 - How to Connect with Thimbleberry Financial  16:57 - Disclaimer and Wrap-Up    To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, call 503-610-6510 or visit thimbleberryfinancial.com.

A Note from James:One of my favorite conversations on this show was with Peter Thiel. Yes—PayPal, Facebook, Palantir, and a dozen other hits. I first ran this episode years ago, and the advice still holds up. The same stories, the same frameworks—and the same challenge to think from first principles. Here's Peter Thiel, one of the most influential entrepreneurs of our time. Episode Description:In this redux, James pressure-tests the core ideas from Peter Thiel's Zero to One—why competition is for losers, how real monopolies are built, and why starting “narrow” is often the only path to something huge. They cover Facebook's early moat (real identity), PayPal's network-effect wedge on eBay, and the “10x or nothing” bar for proprietary technology. Peter shares a contrarian read on bubbles, why biotech's slump may be opportunity, and how to hire, divide roles, and keep teams from fighting. The through-line: seek secrets, combine disciplines, and make something so different that it becomes its own category. What You'll Learn:How to pick markets the Zero to One way: start with a “small, winnable monopoly,” then expand in concentric circles. The four classic moats—and which to favor first: proprietary tech, network effects, economies of scale, and brand (with a bias toward real tech). A practical rule for virality vs. network effects: growth is a tactic; enduring value comes from the network that forms once users arrive. Team design that prevents internal warfare: make roles uniquely owned; if two people own the same thing, you're paying for a fight. How to hunt “secrets”: believe they exist, look where consensus is stale, and borrow from adjacent fields to see what specialists miss. Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] A Note from James — Why this conversation still ranks among the best. [03:00] Zero to One, in one line — “Do something new, different, fresh, strange.” [05:17] Competition vs. Capitalism — Why perfect competition kills profits; aim for uniqueness. [07:28] Facebook's original edge — Real identity as the breakthrough vs. MySpace's alt-persona culture. [09:14] Bits vs. Atoms — Stagnation outside software and how biology could become an information science. [12:05] Personality and perseverance — Why mild contrarian wiring helps founders ignore status games. [15:21] “10x or nothing” — The technology and/or experience must be an order of magnitude better. [17:00] Monopoly thinking, ethically done — Create abundance by creating something truly new. [23:30] The PayPal pre-history — Why long-running trust among teammates births more companies. [30:10] Early Facebook investment logic — College-only looked “small,” which was exactly the point. [32:03] Turning down $1B — The boardroom debate, optionality, and founder conviction. [36:23] Moats in practice — Picking the right advantage (and why brand alone is shaky). [37:06] Network effects ≠ virality — How value compounds after growth.

The voice in our head can be an asset at times - but also kind of a jerk at the worst possible moments. And like that one person in the “quiet car” of the train that doesn't seem to understand the rules, it never seems to be quiet when we need it to.A 2014 study identified a self-talk strategy that led to improved performances, and less post-performance shame and rumination.And it doesn't require us to shush the inner critic entirely (whew, because that's really difficult!). It's just a small, simple - yet quirky - tweak that anyone can do.Get all the nerdy details here:How a Small Change in Self-Talk Could Improve Performance Under PressureReferencesKross, E., Bruehlman-Senecal, E., Park, J., Burson, A., Dougherty, A., Shablack, H., Bremner, R., Moser, J., & Ayduk, O.

Is a car that wins a Formula 1 race the best choice for your morning commute? Probably not. In this sponsored deep dive with Prolific, we explore why the same logic applies to Artificial Intelligence. While models are currently shattering records on technical exams, they often fail the most important test of all: **the human experience.**Why High Benchmark Scores Don't Mean Better AIJoining us are **Andrew Gordon** (Staff Researcher in Behavioral Science) and **Nora Petrova** (AI Researcher) from **Prolific**. They reveal the hidden flaws in how we currently rank AI and introduce a more rigorous, "humane" way to measure whether these models are actually helpful, safe, and relatable for real people.---Key Insights in This Episode:* *The F1 Car Analogy:* Andrew explains why a model that excels at the "Humanities Last Exam" might be a nightmare for daily use. Technical benchmarks often ignore the nuances of human communication and adaptability.* *The "Wild West" of AI Safety:* As users turn to AI for sensitive topics like mental health, Nora highlights the alarming lack of oversight and the "thin veneer" of safety training—citing recent controversial incidents like Grok-3's "Mecha Hitler."* *Fixing the "Leaderboard Illusion":* The team critiques current popular rankings like Chatbot Arena, discussing how anonymous, unstratified voting can lead to biased results and how companies can "game" the system.* *The Xbox Secret to AI Ranking:* Discover how Prolific uses *TrueSkill*—the same algorithm Microsoft developed for Xbox Live matchmaking—to create a fairer, more statistically sound leaderboard for LLMs.* *The Personality Gap:* Early data from the **Humane Leaderboard** suggests that while AI is getting smarter, it is actually performing *worse* on metrics like personality, culture, and "sycophancy" (the tendency for models to become annoying "people-pleasers").---About the HUMAINE LeaderboardMoving beyond simple "A vs. B" testing, the researchers discuss their new framework that samples participants based on *census data* (Age, Ethnicity, Political Alignment). By using a representative sample of the general public rather than just tech enthusiasts, they are building a standard that reflects the values of the real world.*Are we building models for benchmarks, or are we building them for humans? It's time to change the scoreboard.*Rescript link:https://app.rescript.info/public/share/IDqwjY9Q43S22qSgL5EkWGFymJwZ3SVxvrfpgHZLXQc---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Introduction & The Benchmarking Problem00:01:58 The Fractured State of AI Evaluation00:03:54 AI Safety & Interpretability00:05:45 Bias in Chatbot Arena00:06:45 Prolific's Three Pillars Approach00:09:01 TrueSkill Ranking & Efficient Sampling00:12:04 Census-Based Representative Sampling00:13:00 Key Findings: Culture, Personality & Sycophancy---REFERENCES:Paper:[00:00:15] MMLUhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03300[00:05:10] Constitutional AIhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2212.08073[00:06:45] The Leaderboard Illusionhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2504.20879[00:09:41] HUMAINE Framework Paperhttps://huggingface.co/blog/ProlificAI/humaine-frameworkCompany:[00:00:30] Prolifichttps://www.prolific.com[00:01:45] Chatbot Arenahttps://lmarena.ai/Person:[00:00:35] Andrew Gordonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-gordon-03879919a/[00:00:45] Nora Petrovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nora-petrova/Event:Algorithm:[00:09:01] Microsoft TrueSkillhttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/trueskill-ranking-system/Leaderboard:[00:09:21] Prolific HUMAINE Leaderboardhttps://www.prolific.com/humaine[00:09:31] HUMAINE HuggingFace Spacehttps://huggingface.co/spaces/ProlificAI/humaine-leaderboard[00:10:21] Prolific AI Leaderboard Portalhttps://www.prolific.com/leaderboardDataset:[00:09:51] Prolific Social Reasoning RLHF Datasethttps://huggingface.co/datasets/ProlificAI/social-reasoning-rlhfOrganization:[00:10:31] MLCommonshttps://mlcommons.org/

Living Colour's Vivid: When Rock Refused to Play by the RulesWhat happens when a jazz-trained guitar virtuoso teams up with a Broadway-bound singer, adds Mick Jagger as producer, and sets out to demolish the color lines that 1980s radio had drawn around rock music? You get Vivid, Living Colour's 1988 debut that kicked down every door with “Cult of Personality” and then refused to play by anyone's rules.This is an album that proved Black musicians could dominate every corner of rock, from shredding metal to funk grooves to social commentary. It reached number six on the Billboard 200, sold two million copies, and launched a Grammy-winning single that still sounds ahead of its time. If you love the genre-blending creativity of Fishbone, the fearless experimentation of Prince, or the socially conscious hard rock of Rage Against the Machine, this episode explores an essential album that changed what rock could be.Vivid isn't just a great debut album. It's the story of the Black Rock Coalition, Vernon Reid's grassroots movement to challenge the segregation creeping into New York's rock venues and radio stations. At a time when rock stations stopped playing James Brown next to the Rolling Stones, Living Colour asked: why? They answered with an album that opened for the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels tour, appeared on Headbangers Ball, and influenced everyone from Tom Morello to the entire alt-metal movement of the '90s.Episode Highlights0:00 – IntroThe final community-voted album of 2025. Vivid wins with 62% of the Patreon vote.3:30 – Personal ConnectionsChip shares his 1989 encounter with Living Colour at a Cleveland record store, where Corey Glover spontaneously sang a song about his date.12:00 – Album FactsReleased May 2, 1988. Produced by Ed Stasium and Mick Jagger. Features Chuck D and Flavor Flav on “Funny Vibe.” Charted globally and appears on every major “greatest metal albums” list.21:00 – Vernon Reid's Guitar MasteryJay explores Reid's creative dominance as guitarist and primary songwriter. His riff writing sounds more like the '90s than 1988, and nearly every melodic hook is guitar-driven.32:00 – The Black Rock CoalitionVernon Reid's mission to fight radio segregation and get Black rock musicians back into venues and onto rock radio.38:00 – The Beatles as InspirationThe band intentionally created a diverse, non-cohesive album that could work at any party for any crowd, from metal fans to funk lovers.50:00 – Genre Debates: Metal or Not?Who cares? The album won metal awards and hosted Headbangers Ball, but more importantly, it used heavy riffs to expose listeners to funk, R&B, and social commentary they wouldn't have heard otherwise.1:03:00 – “Cult of Personality”Deep analysis of one of rock's most iconic opening tracks and why it set an impossible standard.1:08:00 – “I Want to Know” and “Open Letter (To a Landlord)”How the album moves from poppy hooks to six-minute epics that shift between R&B, funk, and aggressive rock.1:22:00 – “Memories Can't Wait”The Talking Heads cover that provides breathing room and showcases smart song selection.1:35:00 – Production IssuesThe reverb-heavy ‘80s drums that sometimes work against the band's raw creativity.1:55:00 – Vernon Reid's InfluenceTom Morello's clear debt to Reid's unconventional guitar techniques and willingness to let the instrument do unexpected things.2:07:00 – Social CommentaryLiving Colour sang about gentrification and displacement when most metal bands were singing about nothing heavier than Saturday night.2:28:00 – Final RatingsThe crew debates production, diversity, and nostalgic attachment.Join the Metal UnionSubscribe at digmeoutpodcast.com and join the Metal Union at dmounion.com to vote on future albums, unlock bonus episodes, and join our private Discord community where real music discussions happen every day.

Dear Boss Babe... you've been telling yourself, “I'm fine. I'm just tired. It's just a busy season.” But what if that's not the truth? What if you're ignoring the very signs that are trying to save you? Most high-achieving women don't break down from one big moment — we burn out because we dismiss months of small signals, all while performing, producing, and pushing at a level that looks impressive… but feels heavy. Today's pep talk is the reminder your spirit has been waiting for. In this short but powerful reset, Ericka delivers the kind of tough-love pep talk every ambitious woman needs. Inside this episode, you'll hear: How chronic stress hides behind success, competence, and hustle culture — and why you've normalized exhaustion without realizing it. Your spark. Your joy. Your voice. Your identity. Your energy to dream the way you used to. Ericka breaks down the difference between: – “I'm overwhelmed” – “I'm shutting down” – and the dangerous autopilot many high achievers mistake for strength – Tight chest – Clenched jaw – Irritability – Forgetfulness – Heavy routines – Sparkless mornings – Sleep that doesn't restore you Ericka guides you through: – Questioning your pace – Checking whether you're surviving or actually thriving – Micro-moments that bring you back home to yourself – Nervous-system safety resets – Small acts of self-care high achievers forget to do This is the pep talk every boss babe deserves — especially the ones who never slow down long enough to hear their own truth. burnout, chronic stress signs, pep talk for women, high achiever burnout, hustle culture recovery, self care for ambitious women, nervous system support, feminine wellness, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, productivity pressure, burnout vs stress ✨ Share this pep talk with another high-achieving woman who needs the reminder. ✨ Leave a review on Apple & Spotify — it helps other women find this podcast. ✨ And listen to Episode 130 for the full deep dive into chronic stress vs burnout.

Chanukah Minutes 5786 - Night 5 “Hallel and Al Hanisim: The Personality of the Jew” by Congregation Beth Jacob

Is this dementia… or is it just their personality? In this video, I explain why dementia can intensify longstanding personality traits, including patterns often seen in narcissistic, borderline, or histrionic personalities. You'll learn the brain science behind what's happening, why it feels so emotionally confusing, and how to respond in ways that protect both you and your loved one.

With exactly one week until Christmas Eve, Scott Hennen and the team cut through the "noise" to find the "signal." This episode features a masterclass in current events—from a deep dive into the first year of the Trump administration's results versus the media's personality-driven narrative to a surprising look at property tax relief hitting North Dakota mailboxes. We also sit down with Paul Fisher of Capstone Classical Academy to discuss the "miracle" of classical education in Fargo, and catch up with Robbie Loft for a fascinating update on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. From AI-powered conversations with Teddy to 8,000-gallon fuel bunkers in the North Dakota countryside, today's show covers the boulders being pushed and the legacies being built. Episode Highlights [00:01:30] Personality vs. Results Scott breaks down a Peggy Noonan column on whether Trump is "losing his touch," arguing that the media focuses on "mean tweets" while ignoring major shifts at the border and in global trade deals. [00:03:45] The $800 Tax Win A look at the "bounty of oil" in action as North Dakotans receive property tax statements. Scott shares his own $800 reduction and discusses the 50,000 households whose property tax tab went to zero. [00:05:30] The Miracle of Capstone Headmaster Paul Fisher discusses the national reputation of Capstone Classical Academy and why parents are fleeing "postmodern identity politics" for academic rigor and Christian virtue. [00:09:00] The "Bedwetting" Crowd & Polling Psyops The guys tackle flagging poll numbers on the economy and immigration, questioning whether they reflect reality or a "deluge of propaganda" designed to fray the MAGA community. [00:21:40] Property Tax 101 with Ryan Rauschenberger State Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus joins the show to explain the Primary Residence Credit (PRC) and how residents can tap into up to $4,000 of relief. [00:25:00] The "Farmhouse Bunker" A look at a unique real estate listing: a countryside retreat featuring 10,000-gallon water tanks, twin generators, and a hidden three-room bunker. [00:29:15] The Badlands Phoenix Executive Director Robbie Loft provides an 80% completion update on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, opening July 4, 2026. [00:33:10] Debating an AI Teddy Robbie explains how the new library will use AI to allow visitors to actually converse and debate with a digital version of the 26th President based on his 30+ books and thousands of letters.

VIDEO Version https://youtube.com/live/JRRWz7OvEe8?feature=shareOpie kicks off the morning with the most disturbing Christmas gift ever: Gary Busey, looking straight out of a horror flick, proudly demonstrating goose honks like it's high art. Things spiral fast – from Ron the Waiter's wild sun-staring experiment revealing monkey-to-alien morphs and hieroglyphic code downloads, to raw debates on Eskimo intimacy, stolen packages (104 million a year?!), and whether prison needs make it “not gay.” They also break down the WOLD Vanity Fair interview from Trump's highly regarded Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles! Buckle up for unfiltered, irreverent rants 500 feet above NYC that'll leave you laughing, disturbed, and questioning reality.

I'm immersing myself in Dr. Joe Dispenza's work again as I'm going to his week long retreat in Cancún in February (I am BEYOND excited!!).  This is one of his main teachings & I felt inspired to share it for you as well as a reminder that you are in charge of your reality, no one else! Believe me it's a hard pill to swallow sometimes, but powerful to remember.  https://www.karenmaloney.com/ https://spiritinform.lumivitae.com/en/ @karenmaloney_

John and Craig welcome back screenwriter Mike Makowsky (Death by Lightning, Bad Education) to ask, how do you dramatize a historical event that no one's heard of? They look at the dramatic engine behind the Garfield assassination, the long journey Death by Lightning had to getting made, and the importance of finding great stories in obscure history. We investigate the peculiar habits and compulsions of our own writing practices, and see how personality typologies can help figure out what makes our characters tick. We also follow up on a certain orange book, breaking into Hollywood in your 30's, and offer our thoughts on the impending sale of Warner Bros. In our bonus segment for premium members, which TV shows had the best "coaching trees"? We marvel at the writers' rooms that launched the most successful writers today.

Explore Your Personality: https://PersonalityHacker.com    Joel and Antonia explore the dynamic nature of personality type, challenging the idea that it's static or defined by stereotypes. Using metaphors like pinned butterflies and coloring books, they show how type is a fluid, developmental system that evolves over time. They discuss why real mastery means shifting focus from the system to the individual, and how our cognitive functions reflect deep, irresistible patterns of attention.
