Did you like the episode? Send me a text and let me know!!The Longevity Dividend: Why Aging is the Single Largest Business Opportunity of the Century What if the "silver tsunami" isn't a crisis, but the most significant economic engine of our time? While the world worries about aging populations, the data reveals a startling truth: the 60+ demographic now accounts for 27% of global spending and possesses the cognitive power of people decades younger.In this episode of Business Conversations with Pi and Piet 2.0, our AI hosts dismantle the "gloomy narrative" of aging. Using 2026 data from the IMF, World Economic Forum, and Interreg Europe, they explore the Longevity Economy—a shift from managing decline to supporting vitality. We dive into why "70 is the new 53," the rise of "Age-Tech" like AI companion robots and exoskeletons, and how the "Silver Economy" is rewriting the rules of entrepreneurship and the global workforce.Key Insights & Chapter Markers[00:01:45] Punching Above Their Weight: Why the 60+ crowd isn't a niche market—they are the market, controlling over a quarter of global consumer spending.[00:03:10] Chronological vs. Perspective Age: Analyzing the IMF data that proves a 70-year-old today has the cognitive processing power of a 53-year-old from the year 2000.[00:05:30] From Isolation to Integration: A look at the "Villages" model in Florida vs. China's national retrofitting mandate for elderly-friendly cities.[00:06:50] Proactive Age-Tech: How AI robots like ElliQ are moving beyond "I've fallen and I can't get up" to predictive health and combating loneliness.[00:09:15] High-Growth Sectors: Identifying the "Gold Mine" in housing renovation, leisure, personalized nutrition, and inclusive design.[00:10:45] The Lump of Labor Fallacy: Debunking the myth that older workers take jobs from the young and explaining how they actually expand the economic pie.[00:11:50] The "Dimmer Switch" Retirement: Why the 2026 workforce needs to ditch the "cliff-edge" retirement model for flexible, phased transitions.[00:14:20] Inventin Reclaim your "zone of genius" by letting Opus Clip automatically turn your long-form podcast into dozens of viral-ready shorts—start your free trial today at podnationopus.com For a 15% discount on your first purchase go RYZEsuoerfoods.com use code PODNA15 Thank you for being a Skoobeliever!!

Hoofdagent Gabrielle Cevat werd op 9 juli 2008 aan de Piet de Winterlaan in Amstelveen doodgeschoten toen ze een man wilde aanspreken op zijn rijgedrag en sindsdien leeft haar moeder, Marga, met een leegte die geen woorden kent. In deze aflevering spreekt zij openhartig over wie Gabrielle écht was, over de dag die haar wereld verwoestte en over de strijd voor meer bestaansrecht voor nabestaanden.

Jakke, Paul en Piet bespreken de financiële en sportieve malaise op de Bosuil. Een terugkeer naar de donkere tijden of een overgangsfase naar betere?

Ondertussen genoot Piet van de sinaasappelbomen in Sevilla, waar geen vuiltje aan de lucht was. Alleen een hele hoop regen, maar dat leverde wel goede gesprekken op. Mocht je hem daarom binnenkort met strakgetrokken en platgeslagen oogleden zien, weet je waarom. Zodra Rosie Superstar is geboren, gaat Daan trouwens gezellig mee naar de prikkendokter en dit keer niet alleen voor een beetje babybotox. Waar zoek jij naar steun?

Gast: Piet Schrijvers, emeritus hoogleraar Latijnse taal- & letterkunde Universiteit Leiden. In deze aflevering gaat Robert van Altena in gesprek met Piet Schrijvers over zijn vertaling van Ovidius' Metamorfosen, of zoals Schrijvers' vertaling luidt: Gedaantewisselingen. De vertaling is verschenen in een mooie tweetalige editie bij Primavera Pers, Leiden. Van Schrijvers verscheen bij dezelfde uitgeverij ook een vertaling van Ovidius' Kalendergedichten - Fasti. Afbeelding (detail) Diego Velázquez, Las Hilanderas (1657-1659) collectie Museo del Prado Een verbeelding van een spin-atelier maar ook van de Arachne mythe zoals door Ovidius verhaald in boek 6 van Gedaantewisselingen. Arachne wordt uitgedaagd tot een weefwedstrijd. Haar werkstuk (in de achtergrond te zien op het schilderij van Velázquez) wordt verkozen boven dat van Minerva. Minerva, zoals het een godin betaamt onmatig in haar verongelijktheid , neemt wraak voor haar verlies door Arachne te doen veranderen in een spin. SPRINGVOSSEN

This is a truly wide-ranging and phenomenal episode as Jimmy welcomes Dave Chisholm onto the podcast to discuss his newest series with Mad Cave Studios: Is Ted OK? Issue #1 is out February 25, 2026. This series contains some of Dave's best work today, which is a high bar looking at his previous comics including the recent Spectrum with Rick Quinn. Dave discuses how every choice in his comics is deliberate and work to serve the story and compel the narrative forward. Dave also discusses his work on Spectrum and his different approach to that comic compared to Is Ted OK? Dave also drops a fascinating anecdote about the early Renaissance composer Guillaume Du Fay, and I've included a link below to an example of that music. Follow Dave on Bluesky Pre-Order Is Ted OK?

He suffers from night terrors, obsessively draws the same mysterious figures again and again, all while listening to one track of music on repeat–oh, and the only “person” he ever talks to is a stray cat. His humanity is hanging by a thread. Sarah is a new arrival to the city, fighting her own demons, and her job is to remotely spy on Ted to ensure he doesn't hurt anyone…or himself. When Ted's mental state begins to crack, Sarah compassionately intervenes to help, and things go catastrophically wrong. IS TED OK? mashes up the paranoid existentialism of SEVERANCE with the cosmic sci-fi of AKIRA while exploring what happens when the act of help goes horribly wrong. Follow Comic Book Yeti

Your boy is back from paternity hiatus with another banger! Preposterously prolific San Francisco composer, producer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist OTIS McDONALD is finally here. Hallelujah! Gov't name Joe Bagale, Otis has turned Hyde Street's Studio D — a hallowed sacred ground in the annals of funk/rock/hip-hop history — into a potent personal laboratory where he generates/facilitates a steady flow of ridiculously dope records. The in-demand music man slides through episode 095 for a lengthy, illuminating upful discussion; BG also checks back in with Derrick 'Smoker' Freeman [SOUL Brass Band, Shadow People Podcast]; and later introduces rising NorCal guitarist/solo artist Piet Dalmolen. 0:00 - ep.095 preview 3:00 - SOUL Brass Band - NorCal run late January 4:00 - BISS List - Bay Area fan hub/newsletter 5:45 - The UPFUL Update 12:00 - introducing OTIS McDONALD 15:15 - INTERVIEW - Otis [117m] 2:12:15 - DERRICK 'Smoker' FREEMAN 2:28:00 - Introducing/Interview: PIET DALMOLEN [30m] 2:58:15 - Afterglow x ViBE Junkie Jam Otis McDonald released an original track every Friday for three years during the pandemic, though he since pumped the brakes to every third week. In addition, the gifted producer/engineer and sideman has delivered assorted crucial collabs with the likes of Eric Krasno, Nicholas Payton, Aloe Blacc, Wil Blades, Charlie Hunter, among others. Across two-plus decades in the Bay Area, he's worked extensively with scene stalwarts Jazz Mafia, Atta Kid, and their various spinoffs/side trips; Bagale even logged a couple years fronting an iteration of Mickey Hart Band on keys, guitar, and lead vocals.  Long before he moved into Hyde Street Studio D (the site of famed Wally Heider Studio in SF, where so many classic records were brought to life), Otis McDonald had become a ubiquitous presence online. He was repeatedly commissioned by YouTube and Facebook for free audio libraries offering copyright-free music to help video creators enhance their work. The dude has recorded hundreds of tunes that have been soundtracked in tens of millions of videos streamed into the billions!

In this episode, we explore the quiet internal battle that determines whether people follow through—or fade out—on the things that matter most: the voice that looks for a way out versus the voice that finds a way in.Using real conversations from a recent Accelerator group call, we break down how self-sabotage often shows up disguised as logic, comfort, or “being realistic.” From the idea of first-mile lies in running, to the familiar pattern of joining the gym with good intentions and quitting a few months later, this episode looks at how identity—not motivation—drives consistency.We talk about why telling yourself “this time is different” doesn't work if your past actions say otherwise, and how repeated non-follow-through trains your brain and body not to trust you. Through stories of weight loss, addiction, gym intimidation, and starting something you're not good at yet, this episode highlights a critical truth: belief isn't built through words—it's built through reps.This conversation also tackles humility, accountability, and the importance of being willing to look inexperienced, uncomfortable, or imperfect in order to grow. Whether it's quitting smoking, walking into the gym for the first time, or simply showing up when it would be easier not to, the question stays the same: are you finding a way in, or are you looking for a way out?If you've ever struggled to see something through, felt stuck in a cycle of starting and stopping, or questioned whether you're “just the kind of person who quits,” this episode will challenge that narrative—and give you a framework to start rewriting it through action.

Transcript:Nl: In het hart van Amsterdam, op een koude winteravond, verzamelde zich een groep vrienden in een gezellig café genaamd "De Knusse Hoek."En: In the heart of Amsterdam, on a cold winter evening, a group of friends gathered in a cozy café named "De Knusse Hoek."Nl: Het café was druk en warm, perfect schuiloord tegen de kille wind buiten.En: The café was busy and warm, the perfect refuge against the chilly wind outside.Nl: De geur van vers getapt bier en knapperige snacks vulde de lucht terwijl mensen om hen heen lachten en verhalen deelden.En: The scent of freshly tapped beer and crispy snacks filled the air as people around them laughed and shared stories.Nl: Maar in de hoek, bij een imposante eikenhouten tafel bij het knetterende haardvuur, vond een intense pokergame plaats.En: But in the corner, at an impressive oak table by the crackling fireplace, an intense poker game was taking place.Nl: Aan de tafel zaten Jeroen, Kees en Piet.En: At the table sat Jeroen, Kees, and Piet.Nl: Ze waren oude vrienden die regelmatig bijeenkwamen om te kaarten.En: They were old friends who regularly gathered to play cards.Nl: Jeroen, met zijn glimlach en half opgerolde mouwen, was vandaag vastberaden om te winnen.En: Jeroen, with his smile and half-rolled-up sleeves, was determined to win today.Nl: Hij wilde eindelijk die felbegeerde titel van beste pokerspeler onder hen veroveren.En: He wanted to finally capture that coveted title of the best poker player among them.Nl: Maar Jeroen, altijd gretig om erbij te horen, had een klein geheimpje dat niemand wist: hij was kleurenblind.En: But Jeroen, always eager to fit in, had a little secret that no one knew: he was colorblind.Nl: Vandaag, ongezien voor zijn vrienden, had hij per ongeluk wat Monopoly-geld in zijn portemonnee gestopt.En: Today, unseen by his friends, he had accidentally put some Monopoly money in his wallet.Nl: De avond vorderde en de rondes werden gespeeld.En: The evening progressed and the rounds were played.Nl: Jeroen hield zijn kaarten dicht bij zich en gooide met zelfvertrouwen zijn fiches in de pot.En: Jeroen kept his cards close and confidently tossed his chips into the pot.Nl: Zijn vrienden, Kees en Piet, volgden zijn inzetten met nieuwsgierige ogen, niet wetende dat Jeroens "geld" eigenlijk speelgoed was.En: His friends, Kees and Piet, followed his bets with curious eyes, not knowing that Jeroen's "money" was actually toy money.Nl: Zijn fouten bleven ongezien, vooral omdat hij alle kleuren als variaties van grijs zag.En: His mistakes went unnoticed, particularly because he saw all colors as variations of gray.Nl: Toen de spanning toenam, besloot Jeroen alles op een groot spel te zetten.En: As the tension increased, Jeroen decided to bet everything on a big hand.Nl: Hij schoof met een zelfverzekerde blik de stapel fiches en zijn 'biljetten' naar het midden van de tafel.En: He pushed the stack of chips and his 'bills' to the middle of the table with a confident look.Nl: Kees en Piet keken elkaar even verbaasd aan.En: Kees and Piet exchanged surprised glances.Nl: De stilte hield even aan voordat Kees hakkelend zei: "Jeroen, ik denk dat je speelt met...En: The silence lingered for a moment before Kees hesitantly said, "Jeroen, I think you're playing with...Nl: Monopoly-geld!"En: Monopoly money!"Nl: Jeroen's ogen werden groot van verbazing.En: Jeroen's eyes widened in surprise.Nl: Hij keek naar de tafel en begon te lachen, zijn wangen rood van schaamte.En: He looked at the table and began to laugh, his cheeks red with embarrassment.Nl: Het was zo'n moment dat alleen echte vrienden kunnen creëren, luidkeels lachen en de absurditeit van de situatie omarmen.En: It was a moment that only true friends can create, laughing loudly and embracing the absurdity of the situation.Nl: Kees en Piet konden hun lachen niet inhouden en stootten elkaar aan terwijl ze de lach met hem deelden.En: Kees and Piet couldn't hold back their laughter and nudged each other as they shared the laugh with him.Nl: Op dat moment realiseerde Jeroen zich dat het niet het winnen van het spel was dat ertoe deed, maar het plezier en de vriendschap die ze samen deelden.En: At that moment, Jeroen realized that it wasn't winning the game that mattered, but the fun and friendship they shared together.Nl: Hij schudde zijn hoofd en lachte hardop mee, blij dat hij zulke vrienden had.En: He shook his head and laughed out loud, grateful to have such friends.Nl: In deze warme hoek van het café, met hun kaarten en grapjes, was het duidelijk dat hun vriendschap het belangrijkste was.En: In this warm corner of the café, with their cards and jokes, it was clear that their friendship was the most important thing.Nl: Vanaf die dag keek Jeroen naar elke volgende pokernacht als een kans om te genieten, en hij accepteerde dat zijn fouten gewoon deel waren van wie hij was.En: From that day on, Jeroen looked at every subsequent poker night as an opportunity to enjoy himself, and he accepted that his mistakes were just part of who he was.Nl: En zijn vrienden hielden van hem precies daarom.En: And his friends loved him for exactly that.

De jongste premier in onze historie, de eerste vanuit D66. Toch Rob Jetten al een hele tijd een vaste waarde in politiek Den Haag. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger verkennen Jettens komende premierschap. Wat neemt hij mee aan ervaring en mentaliteit? Welke risico's bedreigen zijn welslagen? Welke pluspunten en waarschuwingen kan hij ontlenen aan zijn voorgangers in het ambt? Hoe zorgt hij voor profiel in Europa? En werkt hij tijdig aan een opvolger? *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** De grootste inschattingsfout die men kan maken is de veronderstelling dat Jetten een groentje is, een jonkie. Zijn politiek bestuurlijk cv is steviger dan dat van zijn voorgangers Jan Peter Balkenende en Mark Rutte bij hun aantreden. Zijn politieke loopbaan heeft hem door alle wateren gewassen. Van triomfen tot fiasco's, van internationale crises tot lef in campagnes en debatten. Zijn pragmatisme, lenigheid en 'Wille zur Macht' kun je maar beter niet onderschatten. Jettens grootste pluspunt bij zijn start is zijn directe voorganger Dick Schoof. In elk opzicht is hij de contrastfiguur tegenover deze ijdele en onhandige ambtenaar op jaren. Al delen ze wel de hardloophobby. Hij is bovendien ook een jeugdig contrast ten opzichte van zijn voorganger als D66-aanvoerder, Sigrid Kaag. Dit zal hem in Europa en de NAVO direct goed van pas komen. Zeker als Bontenbal en Klaver zo verstandig zijn hem in hun Europese families van EVP en S&D een goede, gedegen entree te gunnen. Zulk krediet helpt bij wederzijds vertrouwen. Grote uitdaging zal zijn hoe het hem lukt zijn partij de rol van leidende club in coalitie en Kamer te laten pakken. D66 begon immers als anti-partij tegen het establishment en de polder en verkeerde regelmatig in politieke doodsnood. Jetten zal hier allereerst zelf zijn partij op sleeptouw moeten nemen, geholpen door een krachtige partijvoorzitter en een 'chief whip'. Rolmodellen uit de D66-historie heeft Jetten voor zijn nieuwe functie niet. Voor de cruciale kenmerken van een succesvol premierschap en leiderschap kan hij van voorgangers uit alle politieke tradities veel leren. Soms onverwachte lessen. Verrassen bij je start kan hij afkijken van de liberaal Johan Rudolf Thorbecke en de christendemocraat Ruud Lubbers. Ver vooruit durven kijken kan hij leren van socialist Willem Drees en partijloze premier Pieter Cort van der Linden. Bij Dries van Agt, Balkenende en Rutte kan hij opdoen hoe essentieel het is dat hij snel een maatje vindt op het hoogste niveau in Europa. Wie zal zijn 'Mutti' worden (Angela Merkel voor Rutte)? De extraverte 'Sarko' (Nicolas Sarkozy voor Balkenende)? Of zijn 'Macher’ in de strijd zoals Helmut Schmidt voor Van Agt? Crisisbestendigheid hoeft Jetten niet te leren. Als jong minister werd hij meteen in het diepe gegooid door Poetins oorlog en de gevolgen daarvan voor energie, economie en welvaart. Joop den Uyl, Van Agt en Rutte kan hij als voorbeelden nemen op dat terrein. Zij moesten een oliecrisis, terreuraanslagen en een pandemie het hoofdbieden. Cruciaal is dat burgers in een nieuwe premier merken dat hij geen diva is. Ingetogenheid, toewijding en werklust worden gewaardeerd. Piet de Jong, Lubbers en Drees zijn hier exemplarisch. De eenvoudige humor van De Jong zou voor Jetten een prachtige kers op de taart zijn. Blijf als premier maar liever weg bij klatergoud en 'talkshows'. Vermijd de gêne van 'Ome Joop' in de André van Duin Show of Rutte in VI. Belangrijk zijn de lessen van voorgangers voor twee essentiële relaties. Ten eerste die met het Koningshuis. Drees en Den Uyl laten zien hoe wezenlijk het is respectvol en loyaal te zijn, maar altijd alert dat hún problemen of uitglijers niet de jouwe worden. Lubbers en Balkenende moesten meemaken dat je hier al snel ook zelf in perikelen terecht kunt komen. En op dankbaarheid hoeft een premier nooit te rekenen. De tweede essentiële relatie is die met jezelf. Een premier kan ongemerkt vereenzamen. Thorbecke en Lubbers zijn daar aangrijpende voorbeelden van. Ook voor Jetten zal in dat opzicht de vraag zijn: wie is mijn Jan de Koning? En: verken ik tijdig mijn opvolging? Rutte en Den Uyl zijn daarbij waarschuwingen uit eerdere periodes. Welke risico's zal premier Jetten onder ogen moeten zien? Allereerst die van elke minderheidsconstructie. De maakt immers gedogers oppermachtig. Jetten gaat nu doen wat Pieter Omtzigt wilde. Beseft hij dit? Realiseert hij zich dat Jesse Klaver en Joost Eerdmans - als ze zich goede machiavellisten tonen - elkaar het balletje zullen toespelen om de premier maximaal te laten zweten? In de nieuwe coalitie is één partij Jettens grootste onzekerheidsfactor. Het CDA. De kleinste partij in het verbond staat tegenover een dominant liberaal blok. Bontenbal ziet zichzelf als een winnaar. Die winst zal hij willen verzilveren, ten koste dus van de paars-seculiere ideologie waarin VVD en D66 al eerder hebben samengewerkt. Het CDA kon daarom zich weleens profileren als nadrukkelijk sociale factor tegenover de liberalen en als rem bij al te gretige hervormingen in de medisch-ethische sfeer. Rob Jetten zal zich hoe dan ook Michael Corleone’s motto eigen moeten maken: Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. *** Verder lezen PG Kroeger – Tand des Tijds *** Verder kijken Kijk in de Ziel, de Premiers *** Verder luisteren Jetten in Betrouwbare Bronnen 369 - Rob Jetten wil een ideeënstrijd rond het midden en een lossere verhouding tussen Kamer en kabinet https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/6c04c7bb-7d1d-4ad4-9e18-39750951de37 27 - Rob Jetten (D66) wil muren slopen https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/65595e06-8398-41d3-ba4a-38318beca665 Jetten en zijn partij 12 - Troost voor Rob Jetten https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/d7db8e77-5a8b-4f87-88f6-a193f8512554 161 - Hans van Mierlo, een politieke popster https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/971dca8a-af1b-4e9e-88c6-df5df95d49d2 Rolmodellen en waarschuwingen 550 - Dick Schoof, een premier om van te leren https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/550-dick-schoof-een-premier-om-van-te-leren?in_playlist=podcast 461 - Ruud Lubbers zag het een slag anders https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/c2c97419-89bc-4f85-8316-58d1bee4efcf 64 - Wim Kok, een leven op eigen kracht - gesprek met biograaf Marnix Krop https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/44962077-a973-4459-969c-812d1efac686 401 - Adieu Dries! https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/fde60cff-8fff-4be3-8a12-f8ba3ad9446e 274 - Thorbecke, denker en doener https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/9fe72827-e9eb-4e1c-b370-f19c520e353a 351 - Politiek als hartstocht: drie jonge bewindslieden uit het kabinet-Den Uyl vijftig jaar later https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/4503ee74-f481-4818-a08e-8c0711561424 443 – Negen premiers en een explosief Oranjehuis https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/9913cb5e-ccb4-4c9c-8b4a-811736125db *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:41:55 – Deel 2 01:09:32 – Deel 3 01:49:10 – Einde See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you like the episode? Send me a text and let me know!! Beat Imposter Syndrome & Stop Burnout: Practical Strategies for High AchieversFeel like a fraud despite your success? You're not alone. In this deep dive, we unpack imposter syndrome—the psychological state where you believe you're undeserving despite overwhelming evidence of your achievements—and reveal actionable strategies to break free.What You'll Learn: ✅ Why high achievers attribute success to luck instead of skill ✅ The "survival mechanism" behind self-diminishment ✅ How imposter syndrome directly fuels chronic burnout ✅ Concrete behavioral hacks to recognize your true worth ✅ The dangerous cycle of perfectionism and overworkKey Strategies Covered:1. The Accomplishment Audit Document specific micro-actions behind each win. Don't write "closed big deal"—write "spent 7 hours cross-referencing industry standards, leveraged 3 key network intros, restructured cost model."2. Active Strength Identification List inherent skills you undervalue and connect them to your achievements.3. Evidence-Based Thought Challenging When "I'm a fraud" thoughts appear, demand objective evidence. Your accomplishment stack will dwarf your fears.4. The "Thank You" Hack Stop deflecting praise. Say "thank you" and STOP. No "but," no self-deprecation, no minimizing.5. The Success Log Maintain a repository of achievement evidence: positive emails, compliments, metrics. Reference it during self-doubt.

What happens when decades of supply chain planning collide with AI, volatility, and a world that no longer moves at a predictable pace? That question sat at the heart of my conversation with Piet Buyck, a serial entrepreneur whose career spans early optimization engines, cloud-era planning systems, and now AI-driven decision environments. Speaking from Antwerp just days before the holidays, Piet brought a calm, grounded perspective shaped by years inside organizations operating under real commercial pressure. His journey includes building Garvis, an AI-native planning platform later acquired by Logility, which itself became part of Aptean. That arc alone tells a story about consolidation, scale, and where modern planning is heading. We spent time unpacking ideas from Piet's book, AI Compass for Supply Chain Leaders, particularly his view that planning drifted too far into abstract numbers and away from real-world context. Long before AI became a boardroom obsession, he saw how centralized models created distance between decisions and reality. When disruption arrives, whether through pandemics, tariffs, or geopolitical tension, that distance becomes costly. Piet shared vivid examples of how slow, spreadsheet-heavy processes fail precisely when speed and clarity matter most. One thread that kept resurfacing was data. Many leaders believe their data is "good enough" until volatility exposes blind spots. Piet pushed the conversation further, explaining that AI's value goes beyond crunching clean datasets. It can move understanding across silos, surface the reasons behind decisions, and make context visible without endless meetings. That idea of explainable, collaborative AI came up repeatedly, especially as a counterpoint to opaque automation that creates confidence without understanding. We also tackled the human side. There is anxiety around skills erosion and entry-level roles disappearing, but Piet's view was more nuanced. AI shifts where time and energy go, away from gathering information and toward judgment, fairness, and accountability. In his eyes, the real challenge for leaders is choosing the right scope. Projects that are too small fade into irrelevance, while those that are too big stall under their own weight. As we looked ahead, Piet reflected on how leadership itself may change as data becomes accessible to everyone. Authority based on instinct alone becomes harder to defend when assumptions are visible. The leaders who thrive will be those who can explain direction clearly, connect data to purpose, and bring people with them. So after hearing how planning, AI, and leadership are converging in real organizations today, how do you see the balance between human judgment and machine intelligence playing out in your own world, and are we truly ready for what that shift demands?

High achievers—this one's for you! If you constantly feel:• Like nothing you do is ever “enough”• Guilty when you rest• Stuck because things aren't perfect yetYou might be caught in the curse of the high achiever.

Let's talk about failing your goals.Because if I'm being honest, I've fallen short on almost every goal I've ever set.And for a long time, I let that mean something about me. That I was undisciplined. That I couldn't finish what I started. That no matter how hard I tried, it was never good enough—so why even try?But here's what I've learned: the problem was never the goals.It was the story I attached to them.In today's episode, we want to reframe how we think about goals—especially if you're looking back at this year feeling disappointed, behind, or tempted to say, ‘Why bother?'Goals are meant to give you direction, but not define your worth…When you shift your focus from outcomes to effort and the actions you can control, you enjoy the process and actually get results that last. If you've ever let missing a goal give you permission to quit—or stop dreaming altogether—this one's for you.If you're a coach, gym owner, or someone trying to build strength that carries into the real world—this one is for you.

The Goal Setting Framework For Work And Life That Keeps Us Moving Forward In 2026 In this reflective solo episode, Emylee shares the exact 3-pillar framework she uses to set goals at Pharos—and in her own life. Recorded during a quiet early-morning drive down the mountain after the annual leadership retreat, she reflects on the progress the team made in 2025, the lessons learned, and the clarity that comes from reviewing both the wins and the challenges.She introduces the three types of goals that guide every decision at Pharos: • Financial – supporting stability, reinvestment, and long-term health. • Community – delivering on the promise of results, connection, and service. • Cohesion – building systems and infrastructure that keep the team aligned and the experience consistent.Listeners will learn how to use this exact framework in their own lives by brainstorming everything they could do, then identifying the one to three “rocks” that will truly move the needle in the next 90 days. Emylee breaks down how to think in quarterly pushes, avoid overwhelm, and build a year that feels intentional—rather than rushed.Interested in working with us to get a plan of action for you?

Joe Riggio (Varsity House, Business of Strength) joins Pieter Vodden to talk about what really separates gyms that grow from gyms that fade out: business fundamentals, leadership, culture, and having the humility to get coached.They go back to the early Jim Jones days—why traveling for education builds confidence, camaraderie, and “earned” self-respect—and how that same mindset became a blueprint for building better businesses. Joe breaks down the origin of Business of Strength (from early workshops to mastermind groups), why most gym owners hit the “coach-owner paradox,” and how perspective, systems, and community can pull you out of the weeds.They also recap their Cactus to Clouds attempt—training prep, pacing, hydration, gear, and why you don't do this hike casually. The conversation widens into endurance vs. strength, VO2 max and longevity, fatherhood, resilience, and why doing hard things on purpose makes real life easier.If you're a coach, gym owner, or someone trying to build strength that carries into the real world—this one is for you.

Trevor welcomes prolific retail investor Piet Panda to discuss his unique approach to the mining and exploration sector. Panda details how he uses advanced tools to quickly process drill traces, assays, and company data, reducing his due diligence time significantly. He stresses that while data is key—because "the junior is the data"—investors must combine this analysis with human conversations to find "orange flags or the red flags" and understand the context of competitors. Regarding strategy, Pete favors making big bets early on after fast due diligence and explains that he trims positions that double or triple quickly, even if valuation supports it, because the market cannot "swallow that rerate that fast". The conversation wraps up with a look at 2026 themes, where he notes the margin expansion for gold producers is real and advises listeners to not be afraid to buy an up-trending chart.

Behold I am the haindmaid of the LORD be it done unto me according to your word! Andvent is a season of waiting, a pause before the messiah is born. We need to sit and wait and prepare our hearts. The Angle asked our Lady to be the mother of God, she paused and then declaired.. Behold I am the haindmaid of the LORD be it done unto me according to your word! Mary teaches us the pattern: Listen. Believe. Receive. Give praise. At the Annunciation, she offers her FIAT — a yes that lets God's life enter the world. One hand of the Pietà cradles Christ, the other stays open. So must ours. How and where is God calling you to give him your FIAT? Spiritual motherhood means emptying ourselves so we can receive divine life and nurture it through the Holy Spirit. We take souls to Our Lady, hide under her mantle when afraid, and offer ourselves as a total gift. The world needs good moms — women who radiate Christ's love and suffer with one another. The feminine genius is vulnerability, staying soft when life tries to harden us. Mama Mary, make me a virtuous woman like you. Help me give my FIAT, be a light that cannot be dimmed, a heart that stays soft, and a soul that radiates Christ's love. Amen.

L'affaire Adeline Piet est souvent résumée par les médias à l'horreur d'un aveu : celui de son époux, Benoit Piet, qui a fait disparaitre les restes de sa femme dans les flammes de son barbecue. Certaines sources mentionnent plutôt « un four à pain », mais le résultat est le même : une image d'horreur absolue, sur fonds de précarité et de famille nombreuse, un fait divers qui fait froid dans le dos, d'autant qu'il a fallu traverser de nombreuses fausses pistes pour arriver à l'ultime confession d'un homme sans doute dépassé par la violence qui l'habitait.CRIMES EN BRETAGNE • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit, issue de la collection CRIMES · Histoires Vraies .

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas welcomes Piet Buyck, global technology executive, AI strategist, and author of AI Compass for SC Leaders. With more than 30 years leading innovative IT solutions, Piet is on a mission to make AI-driven planning easy, accessible, and human-centered.Piet introduces the concept of the AI Compass—a framework that blends generative, agentic, and narrow AI to guide leaders through the complexities of modern supply chain planning. Instead of treating AI as just another tool, the compass helps organizations navigate uncertainty, break down functional silos, and move toward a more adaptive, holistic decision-making model.He emphasizes that AI should never replace humans, but instead amplify their judgment. Piet explains how to operationalize a “human + AI” decision model using a balance of accuracy, transparency, and fairness—determining what to automate, what to supervise, and what must remain human-led.The conversation explores why supply chain planning has remained stubbornly manual despite decades of technological progress. Piet outlines entrenched habits—rigid processes, siloed KPIs, and opaque numbers—that prevent companies from becoming AI-first. He shows how organizations can shift toward a more dynamic, assumption-driven, data-aware planning culture.Looking ahead, Piet describes the cultural transformation required for supply chain teams to thrive in an AI-augmented world: embracing continuous learning, developing data literacy, unlearning outdated practices, and building confidence to collaborate with AI systems rather than fear them. With the right mindset and governance, he believes companies can unlock massive value—far beyond traditional planning improvements.A must-listen for supply chain leaders, innovators, and anyone navigating the intersection of AI and organizational transformation.If you liked what you heard today, please leave us a review - Apple or Spotify.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this PAC Talk episode, Pieter sits down with Cyto-Wellness founder and traditional naturopath Mitzi Avila to break down one of the most overlooked performance tools in the fitness world: biometric scanning. Mitzi explains how her Meridien-based scan can read over 2,000 internal markers—from mineral deficiencies and gut imbalances to sleep disruptors, neurotransmitter patterns, toxic load, parasites, and more. Pieter shares his firsthand experience with the scan and how it immediately uncovered the root causes of his sleep and energy issues.Mitzi dives deep into gut health, hydration, electrolyte balance, mineral deficiencies, heavy metals, red light therapy, nootropics, and why so many high performers secretly operate in burnout mode. She breaks down her 4 Golden Rules for decoding cravings and energy dips, explains why most people are dehydrated even when they drink a gallon a day, and outlines how the body actually repairs during Delta/REM sleep.Whether you're a serious athlete, a stressed professional, or someone who wants to understand their own body on a deeper level, this episode gives you real, actionable tools to fine-tune your health from the inside out. Mitzi now works out of Pharos Palm Springs every Friday & Saturday — offering full biometric scans, supplement audits, and personalized wellness plans.

In this live PAC Talk session, coach Pieter Vodden sits down with writer and strength-training historian Michael Joseph Gross to explore what strength really means — not just for performance, but for longevity and quality of life. They trace the history of strength culture from ancient Greece to modern gyms, unpack how we've told stories about muscle over the centuries, and why we're only just beginning to understand how powerful strength training is for living longer, better lives.Michael shares how learning a scary new sport in his 40s pushed him into serious training and ultimately into eight years of research on strength — from motor units and neurology to myth, culture, and identity. He and Pieter break down why strength training has to become as automatic as brushing your teeth, how a simple, consistent program can change your body and mind at any age, and why the real magic happens when strength becomes part of your story, not just your routine.They dive into the science of muscle and aging, including landmark studies on people in their 90s who dramatically improved strength, independence, and life expectancy after just eight weeks of resistance training. Michael explains how lifting can reduce risk for chronic disease, support brain health, and even rival antidepressants for many people. The conversation also tackles the myth of “brain vs. brawn,” showing how muscle actually supports cognition, emotional resilience, and empathy.A big part of this talk centers on women and strength, featuring the story of Jan Todd and the fight to normalize heavyweight training for women. Pieter and Michael break down persistent myths about “bulking,” “girl exercises vs. boy exercises,” and the way fitness marketing has confused people about what really works. They also talk about the synergy between strength and cardio, the pros and cons of bodybuilding culture, why relatability matters more than extremity, and how community gyms like Pharos help people build not just muscle, but a shared sense of meaning and connection through training.Connect with MichaelBuy his bookInstagramWebsite

You don't need a better diet — you need a better philosophy.Today's session is one of the most transformational of the 7-Day Results Accelerator.
