AI is no longer a remote concept; it's here, reshaping how we communicate, work, and lead. But in a value-based sector such as healthcare philanthropy, AI adoption isn't just about innovation; it's about alignment, trust, and purpose. Curiosity fuels exploration, and authenticity remains the most valuable currency of our time. As organizations struggle with bureaucracy, privacy, and ethical considerations, the only thing that remains true is that moving forward with AI needs more than just technology; it requires intentionality. In this week's episode, Nathan and Scott explore the importance of staying true to yourself in the age of AI.   Nathan and Scott address you from the first AHP association for healthcare philanthropy, the AI Conference, and highlight the slow AI adoption of the healthcare industry due to bureaucracy and privacy concerns. Then, Nathan and Scott talk about the top two use cases of generative AI in the year 2025: ‘Therapy Companionship' and ‘Organizing My Life.' Nathan kindly explains the concept of ‘Great Flattening, ' which is basically a return to the authenticity stage from internet perfection. Nathan also reminds us that the things technology can do are awesome, but it's important to remember who we are without those curated perfections. They also share their take on the limitations of AI when it comes to providing emotional support. AI or any kind of bot can project and pretend, but it cannot ever feel the way humans do. Nathan further points out that the inherent human need to feel heard couldn't be fulfilled by a bot.   Nathan and Scott also discuss the following topics further in the conversation: artificial intimacy, the manipulative nature of AI, and practical use cases for nonprofit AI.  HIGHLIGHTS [01.13] AHP's summit on Artificial Intelligence.   [05.17] Enthusiasm, interest, and curiosity around AI in healthcare philanthropy.   [11.12] The number 1 generative AI use case in 2025.   [12.00] The high usage of AI therapy and companionship among certain age groups.   [18.05] The Great Flattening.   [22.00] The limitations of AI in providing emotional support.   [25.20] Artificial intimacy and its effect on the human mind.   [28.09] The manipulative nature of AI.   [36.24] Practical use cases for nonprofit AI.   [37.30] Tip of the Week – Level up your prompts by customizing how AI thinks.   [40.00] Tip of the Week 2 -  LMArena.ai for comparing different AI models.   RESOURCES  LMArena AI - lmarena.ai/   Personality and Persuasion by Ethan Mollick  oneusefulthing.org/p/personality-and-persuasion?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1180644   Artificial Intimacy - by CHT and MIT  youtube.com/watch?v=hJ80NqXlGSk   Connect with Nathan and Scott: LinkedIn (Nathan): ⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/nathanchappell/⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn (Scott): ⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/scott-rosenkrans⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠fundraising.ai/

The gloves come off in Part Two of Pop Songs We Wish We Wrote In This Millennium! In the high-stakes persuasion round, the debate heats up as SoSo Juv, HLS, and Donnie Klang enter the cross-examination arena—poking holes, throwing shade, and defending their song choices like their names are on the liner notes. Our guest, the ever-talented Alissa Musto, takes center stage as the final judge. After a barrage of passionate arguments and playful digs, she delivers the verdict—deciding once and for all who ends up in third place, and who claims the crown as this episode's ultimate pop visionary. But before we wrap, Alissa gives her Five Cents on the topic, revealing the songs she wishes she wrote and why. The hosts then review The People's Poll and the always-unpredictable Artificial Intelligence Poll to see how their picks stacked up with the fans and the bots. It's a lyrical battle, a strategic showdown, and a celebration of pop genius. Who will come out on top? And who gets dragged for that “one questionable pick”? Who's Right, Who's Wrong YOU DECIDE!

The Musgrove sisters and Captain Wentworth are getting closer, but Anne isn't convinced anyone is in love yet, on either side. When all of them - the Musgrove sisters, Captain Wentworth, Mary and Charles, and Anne - embark on a long walk together, it's the perfect opportunity for Anne to observe how they interact. Soon, they're at Winthrop, and Charles Hayter is back in the mix with Henrietta, leaving Captain Wentworth and Louisa together, and Anne the only uncoupled member of the group. But uncoupled doesn't mean unnoticed, and when the Crofts offer to take one of the party home in their gig, it's the tired Anne who is helped by Captain Wentworth into the carriage. As she rests, Anne is left to contemplate the pleasure and pain her former lover's warm and amiable heart. Let her restful thoughts be your companion this evening, as this week's story helps you drift gently into a night of soft and restful sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

If you are in a leadership position, you have likely read about how to have teams and workers you lead do something they may not want to do. A day doesn't  go by that you don't directly or indirectly persuade someone. You have high hopes for having people follow your lead and act in ways that foster innovation, growth, and passion. But in everyday life, leaders are dealing with the realty that, all too often, people don't do what they're asked and/or behave in ways that don't support the best interests of the customer, team, or organisation. Let's se how we navigate this in an empowering way....

In this episode of Hashtag Trending, titled 'The Inflection Point: AI's Gentle Singularity and the Security Conundrum', the hosts grapple with planning their show amidst rapid technological changes and delve into a blog post by Sam Altman on the 'Gentle Singularity.' The discussion touches on concepts from astrophysics and AI, explaining the singularity where AI progresses beyond human control. Historical AI figure Ray Kurzweil is mentioned for his predictive insights. They explore how large language models mimic human behavior, their strengths in emotional intelligence, and the inevitable march towards superintelligence. This technological optimism is countered with a serious look at security flaws in AI models and real-world examples of corporate negligence. They highlight the critical need for integrating security into AI development to prevent exploitation. The episode concludes with a contemplation of human nature, the ethics of business, and an advocacy for using AI's potential responsibly. 00:00 Introduction and Show Planning 00:20 Discussing Sam Altman's Gentle Singularity 01:06 Ray Kurzweil and the Concept of Singularity 02:41 Human-Machine Integration and Event Horizon 05:02 AI Hallucinations and Human Creativity 09:02 Capabilities and Limitations of Large Language Models 10:27 AI's Role in Future Productivity and Quality of Life 13:02 Debating AI Consciousness and Singularity 25:51 Security Concerns in AI Development 30:57 Hacking the Human Brain: Elections and Persuasion 31:16 Understanding AI Models and Security 33:04 The Role of CISOs in Modern Security 34:43 Steganography and Prompt Injection 37:26 AI in Automation and Security Challenges 38:47 Crime as a Business: The Reality of Cybersecurity 40:47 Balancing Speed and Security in AI Development 51:06 Corporate Responsibility and Ethical Leadership 55:29 The Future of AI and Human Values

Up this week is a provocative new episode for The Nick Halaris Show featuring author and historian Kate Epstein.  Kate is an Associate Professor for History at Rutgers, the author of two fascinating books—"Torpedo” and “Analog Superpowers”— and a contributor to Persuasion, a publication dedicated to promoting free society.  I came across Kate's work when a friend and one of my most steadfast supporters forwarded me her must-read essay “We, Robots.”  While most are out cheering AI and its potential to make us super intelligent, Kate dares to consider the alternative: what if AI is actually making us all dumber?  When I first read the article, I had a feeling Kate would make for a great podcast guest and she did not disappoint.     Tune in to this fascinating conversation to learn:The scary truth about the decline in the reading and writing capabilities of college students and why professors around the country are being forced to lower their standards Why AI represents such a profound threat to the original ideal of the liberal arts education (i.e. training people for freedom) and why we should fight against its use in schools Why reading and writing are skills we shouldn't take for granted and the crucial role they play in fostering free society As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode.  Thanks for tuning in!    Love this episode?

Though Jane Austen went largely unrecognized in her own lifetime—four of her six novels were published anonymously, and the other two only after her death—her name is now synonymous with the period romance. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz choose their personal favorites from her œuvre—“Emma,” “Persuasion,” and “Mansfield Park”—and attempt to get to the heart of her appeal. Then they look at how Austen herself has been characterized by readers and critics. We know relatively little about Austen as a person, but that hasn't stopped us from trying to understand her psyche. It's a difficult task in part because of the double-edged quality to her writing: Austen, although renowned for her love stories, is also a keen satirist of the Regency society in which these relationships play out. “I think irony is so key, but also sincerity,” Schwartz says. “These books are about total realism and total fantasy meeting in a way that is endlessly alluring.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Pride and Prejudice,” by Jane Austen“Persuasion,” by Jane Austen“Emma,” by Jane Austen“Mansfield Park,” by Jane Austen“Sense and Sensibility,” by Jane Austen“Northanger Abbey,” by Jane Austen“Virginia Woolf on Jane Austen” (The New Republic)Emily Nussbaum on “Breaking Bad” and the “Bad Fan” (The New Yorker)“How to Misread Jane Austen,” by Louis Menand (The New Yorker)“Miss Austen” (2025—)“Pride and Prejudice” (2005)Scenes Through Time's “Mr. Darcy Yearning for 10 Minutes” SupercutNew episodes drop every Thursday.

If you think dentistry and persuasion have nothing in common, think again. This week on BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with the wildly insightful and endlessly entertaining Dr. Chris Phelps—a dentist who not only scaled from one to four practices but also happens to run the legendary Cialdini Institute (yes, that Cialdini!). From test-cramming in dental school to building a student note empire, Dr. Phelps reveals how his entrepreneurial mindset first kicked in—and how it's shaped every business move since.In this episode, Dr. Phelps unpacks the psychology of why most dentists struggle with running their practices like actual businesses. You'll learn why intelligence and technical skill aren't enough to build a thriving practice—and how mindset, instinct, and yes, marketing, all play pivotal roles. He dives into the three root reasons dentists crash as entrepreneurs and reveals how applying Cialdini's Seven Principles of Persuasion changed the entire trajectory of his business (and can do the same for yours).But it's not just theory—Dr. Phelps drops real, jaw-dropping examples: like how a small tweak to a direct mail flyer doubled his response rate after 10 years of the same campaign. Whether you're a practice owner, marketer, or just someone who wants to ethically persuade people better (without being a sleazeball), this episode is an absolute gem. Plus—he's still a wet-finger dentist. Street cred intact.------Top TakeawaysEntrepreneurial instincts can be sparked anywhere—even in dental school.Most dentists are trained to be solo wolves, not leaders—entrepreneurship requires a total mindset shift.Cialdini's principles aren't just theory—they're battle-tested business tools.Persuasion isn't manipulation—it's a skill every leader should master (ethically!).Small tweaks (aka “small bigs”) can lead to massive ROI jumps in marketing. 

It's not all about tactics, it's about perspective. If your team sees sales as pushy or manipulative, they'll never feel confident doing it.This episode is about reframing sales as service — helping customers recognize their needs before offering a solution.Top performers don't pressure. They disarm, listen, and create demand by finding problems first.That mindset shift is the difference between quoting… and actually selling.#SalesMindset #TeamPerformance #ProblemSolvers #ModernSelling #LeadershipTraining#StateFarmAgent #InsuranceAgent #StateFarm #TMP #ColterJohnson #TeamMemberPerspective ✅ Questions about enrolling your team in our Friday Live Training & Wednesday Live Role Play Calls?

Captain Wentworth soon becomes a fixture at Uppercross, and a favorite with Henrietta and Louisa Musgrove. It's delightful for everyone, except Anne, who would rather not be asked to referee conversations between Charles and Mary about which Musgrove sister Captain Wentworth likes best. But unbeknownst to Captain Wentworth, there's a rival for Henrietta's affection - her cousin Charles Hayter, a curate, who has just returned from two weeks away to find Henrietta utterly besotted. And amidst it all, Captain Wentworth can't help himself from showing kindness to Anne, like helping her handle her troublesome young nephew. Entanglements are forming, and Anne is left to observe it all from the outside. Join her as an observer with this week's story, as it helps you fall into another night peaceful slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Jane Austen's novels make us wish she was our friend. She wouldn't be just any old friend: she'd be the sharpest and wisest, the one we turn to in a crisis, the one who understands our flaws and helps us see our blind spots. As we navigate the perils of love and life, she'd be the friend who gently points us in the right direction. Well, that's a funny thing to say about someone who lived more than two hundred years ago, but it's how we feel. And so, we turn to her novels as the next best thing. In this episode, Jacke talks to author Janet Todd (Living with Jane Austen) about what it's been like to rely on Jane Austen as an advice-giver for more than fifty years. PLUS Jacke reads an email from a listener who's made a dramatic change in his approach to literature and life. AND a new survey about parenting and reading arouses some of Jacke's deepest passions.

Now that Captain Wentworth is residing in the neighborhood, his presence is unavoidable, and he and Anne are repeatedly in the same circle. There's a civil cordiality between the two, but nothing more. But his lively manners and stories of life on the high seas are quickly making him a favorite, especially with the two young Miss Musgroves, Henrietta and Louisa. Anne is happy to remain in the background, though Captain Wentworth's cold politeness is difficult for her to bear. But bear it she must, and as she does, let Anne's patience soothe you and help you drift into a night of gentle and relaxing sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Commercial art is more than just mass-produced publicity; it constructs social and political ideologies that impact the public's everyday life. In The Fine Art of Persuasion: Corporate Advertising Design, Nation, and Empire in Modern Japan (Duke University Press, 2025), Gennifer Weisenfeld examines the evolution of Japanese advertising graphic design from the early 1900s through the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, a pivotal design event that rebranded Japan on the world stage. Through richly illustrated case studies, Weisenfeld tells the story of how modern corporations and consumer capitalism transformed Japan's visual culture and artistic production across the pre- and postwar periods, revealing how commercial art helped constitute the ideological formations of nation- and empire-building. Weisenfeld also demonstrates, how under the militarist regime of imperial Japan, national politics were effectively commodified and marketed through the same mechanisms of mass culture that were used to promote consumer goods. Using a multilayered analysis of the rhetorical intentions of design projects and the context of their production, implementation, and consumption, Weisenfeld offers an interdisciplinary framework that illuminates the importance of Japanese advertising design within twentieth-century global visual culture. Gennifer Weisenfeld is Walter H. Annenberg Distinguished Professor of Art and Art History at Duke University. Dr. Jingyi Li is an assistant professor of Japanese Studies at Occidental College, Los Angeles. She is a cultural historian of nineteenth-century Japan. She researches about early modern Japan, literati, and commercial publishing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tonight, we shall read the next part to “Persuasion”, the last novel fully completed by Jane Austen, and published in 1817. The story concerns Anne Elliot, an Englishwoman whose family moves in order to lower their expenses, by renting their home to an Admiral and his wife. In the last episode, starting at chapter 17, Anne visits her old school friend, Mrs. Smith, who now lives in modest circumstances due to her husband's debts and death. Despite her hardships, Mrs. Smith is cheerful and spirited. Anne values their renewed friendship, though her family looks down on the connection. The chapter highlights Anne's increasing clarity: while Mr. Elliot offers social security and admiration, it is not the kind of love she desires. Her renewed bond with Mrs. Smith also underscores her loyalty and sensitivity to genuine character over status. We will pick up mid-conversation between Lady Russell and Anne. Lady Russell is trying to persuade Anne to consider marrying Mr. Elliot. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
