The AI industry spent the week arguing with itself, which is honestly the healthiest thing it's done in years. One coalition led by Nvidia begged regulators not to slow down open AI models, while more than 1,100 AI workers signed another letter asking regulators to do exactly that. Anthropic warned about bioweapons, OpenAI admitted the four-hour workweek isn't happening after all, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella reminded everyone that building your entire business on someone else's AI is a fantastic way to outsource your own brain. In other words, the people selling the future still can't agree on what they're selling, except that you'd better buy it fast.Meanwhile, the AI bubble keeps demanding sacrifices. Patreon, BuzzFeed, and Uber all swung the layoff axe while insisting AI isn't replacing humans... it's just reorganizing them out of a paycheck. Nvidia is floating another three-quarters of a trillion dollars in infrastructure deals that have people muttering "AI subprime mortgage crisis," China has discovered there's money in renting your face to AI companies, and the U.S. is carving data centers out of pollution rules because apparently acid rain is a small price to pay for chatbot dominance. Add in ChatGPT suddenly refusing to imitate famous authors, researchers discovering AI coding assistants are happily installing malware if you ask nicely, and Meta launching an ad campaign about the wonders of AI that somehow forgets to mention what any of those wonders actually are.Elsewhere in Tech Hell™, eBay finally paid the price for its executives' unhinged harassment campaign involving pig masks and live insects, Elon is shopping The Boring Company while promising money won't matter in the AI utopia of 2036, and a traveler is headed to court after allegedly triggering GrapheneOS's "duress PIN" during a border search. We also hit Media Candy with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Silo, Blade Runner 2099 and Neuromancer, celebrate Dave Bittner's birthday, marvel at Jason's ever-growing Boneyard of dead websites, and somehow end up discussing thermal cameras, piano repair, and old-man bladder supplements. Because that's what happens when Gen X gets older - we just add more tabs instead of closing the old ones.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.StoryBlocks - For a limited time, they're offering 15% off any annual plan at storyblocks.com/gogPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

"Why do that to such a gentle man? If they had wanted his money, he would have given it to them."On the evening of 21 October 2009, 50-year-old Alan Wood dropped by his local pub, the Willoughby Arms, in the nearby town of Little Bytham. He had a pint and a snack while he read the newspaper, and then headed home to his bungalow in nearby Lound at approximately 6:30 PM. It was a typical night for him and nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary.For the next three days, no one heard from him. He didn't show up for his scheduled shifts at a Sainsbury's supermarket. When called, he didn't answer. It wasn't until that weekend - the 24th of October - that a friend and colleague from Sainsbury's went to go check on Alan. When they arrived, they found both the front and back doors of Alan's home were wide open...If you have any information about this story that you'd like to share, please contact:Lincolnshire Police: 101Crimestoppers UK: +0800555111Check out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.

Mark Brennan, Founder, CEO, and Director of Cerrado Gold Inc (TSX.V: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF), joins me to review their Q2 2026 operational metrics at the producing Minera Don Nicolas (MDN) gold mine in Argentina. We discuss the increased life of mine and MDN due to the acquisition of the adjacent Falcon Properties, and the ongoing 70,000 meter exploration program, both at surface and now with an underground drill rig. Additionally we get an update on the permitting process at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal and ongoing tradeoff studies for the coming Feasibility Study at the Mont Sorcier Iron Project in Quebec. Q2 2026 MDN Operating Highlights: Q2 Production of 15,415 vs 11,437 GEO in Q2 2025, 2026 first half Production of 28,257 vs 22,600 GEO in 2025 Heap leach production improved to deliver 9,981 GEO in the quarter Underground development work continued; leading to increased production for H2/26 CIL plant continues to process a blend of stockpile material with an increasing mix of ore from underground operations, resulting in total production of 5,434 GEO in Q2 Acquisition of Falcon Properties has the potential to extend Heap Leach operations based on historical drill results. Combined with the existing exploration program, the acquisition is expected to position the mine to add new mineable material quickly Full year production guidance of 50,000-60,000 GEO maintained Mark and I review their Minera Don Nicolas producing gold project in Argentina, and the combination of heap leach and underground gold equivalent ounce production for the second quarter. He also highlighted the advantages of the Falcon Properties acquisition, and how it adds years to the existing heap leach mine life, as well as substantial exploration upside. We discuss the key objectives from the ongoing 70,000 meter drill program will be looking to extend the project mine life in a substantial way and find new high-grade areas, at surface and underground, for future mine sequencing. On June 17th, the Cerrado gold announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Redcorp - Empreendimentos Mineiros, Lda. (“Redcorp”) has been granted the injunctive relief it sought in connection with the opinion of the Portuguese Environmental Agency (Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente – “APA”). Granting of the injunction has the effect of suspending the effects of the APA opinion while the legal action commenced by Redcorp to overturn APA's opinion continues to progress. This decision ensures that Redcorp continues to hold its concession contract and PIN classification for the Lagoa Salgada project valid and in good standing. Mark said the board and management team remain very constructive that a resolution will be found and were pleased that the court agreed with their position. On July 15th the Company announced that it has elected to extend the completion date of the Bankable Feasibility Study at its Mont Sorcier high grade iron project in Quebec, led by Voyager Metals, a 100% owned subsidiary of Cerrado Gold, to review numerous optimization and trade off opportunities that have been identified during the BFS process as having the potential to materially enhance the overall value of the project. Key Optimization Focus Areas Include: Enhanced Mine plan to reduce Overall Strip Ratio, Tailing Dam Construction, CAPEX and OPEX review in light of Ongoing Regional Inflation, Trade-off in Concentrate Quality vs Premium Price. We wrap up discussing the underappreciated current valuation that the company is receiving for the producing MDN mine in Argentina, for both the development-stage Lagoa Salgada and large Net Present Value of the Mont Sorcier Project.

Send us Fan MailWe use the term “ground” frequently in the studio, but what does “ground” actually mean?It can be confusing, because we use the same word to describe many different things. For example, we say that the shields of our audio cables are “grounded.” Or we may think that “grounding” our equipment will eliminate the electrical noise we hear in the audio.I attempt to clarify some of the misconceptions about “ground” in this short episode. The main point I try to stress that is that a connection to the Earth is not necessary for our equipment, or any electronic or electrical device, to work. The purpose of “grounding” electrical things is for one purpose only, and that is safety.Consider this an overview of a complex topic. I focus on things that matter in the studio. The true story would take much more explanation, and probably be of minimal interest to most recordists.One of the topics I mention is the “Pin 1 Problem” that is found in some otherwise excellent professional audio products. Here are links to an excellent explanation by Jim Brown, an electronics engineer who devoted his career to professional audio. He also co-wrote many of the AES standards that make our gear sound as good as it possible can.http://www.k9yc.com/Pin_1_Revisited.pdfhttp://www.k9yc.com/Pin_1_Revisited_Part_2.pdfhttp://www.k9yc.com/SurgeXPowerGround.pdfYou will find many more useful references on Jim's web site, if you want a deeper understanding of many noise and grounding topics.This is the last of the 6-part series on Basic Electronics for Recording Engineers. I may add additional episodes later, but I think this helps people understand some of the electronic principles as they relate to our job.email: dwfearn@dwfearn.comwww.youtube.com/c/DWFearnhttps://dwfearn.com/
In this episode of The Crypto Podcast, Roy sits down with Paul Brower, Director of Engineering at Casa — the gold standard in Bitcoin self-custody — where he leads a 12-person team building AI-first workflows to protect billions of dollars in Bitcoin. Before Casa, Paul spent seven years building the first FDA-approved digital pill software, was an early Bitcoin adopter since 2011 (including a Mt. Gox close call), and even spent three episodes on an MTV reality dating show. Paul breaks down how Casa's multi-sig self-custody system works (2-of-3, 3-of-5), how attackers are now using AI-powered spearphishing and deepfakes to impersonate support staff, and how cryptographic PIN verification protects users from social engineering. He also covers key loss prevention (health checks, hardware redundancy, YubiKeys vs. Trezor/Ledger), Casa's inheritance system for passing on Bitcoin securely, the risks of giving AI agents access to financial accounts, and why physical air-gapped hardware remains one of the strongest defenses against an increasingly AI-powered threat landscape.

It's The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they hear details on EID Tags, rules and regs. Plus fall feeder cattle prices, market reports, the latest cattle industry news and lots more of the cow stuff on this all-new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Why Electronic Identification (EID) Tags Are Becoming Essential For Modern Cattle Operations Electronic Identification (EID) tags are quickly becoming one of the most valuable tools available to today's beef producers. Whether you operate a commercial cow-calf herd, stocker operation, feedlot, or seedstock program, RFID technology helps improve cattle recordkeeping, herd health management, traceability, and overall profitability. As cattle producers continue adopting precision livestock management, EID tags provide faster, more accurate data collection while eliminating many of the errors associated with handwritten records. What Are Electronic Identification (EID) Tags Electronic Identification (EID) tags, also known as RFID cattle tags, contain a unique 15-digit identification number assigned to each individual animal. Think of it as a permanent identification number that stays with the animal for life. Unlike traditional visual ear tags, RFID tags communicate electronically with compatible readers. Because the technology is passive, no batteries are required. When scanned, the RFID chip instantly transmits the animal's identification number to a handheld reader, panel reader, scale head, or herd management software. This technology allows producers to quickly record: Individual animal identification Vaccination history Deworming records Breeding dates Pregnancy status Weaning weights Performance data Treatment history Marketing information Understanding USDA 840 Tags vs. Manufacturer RFID Tags Many producers recognize official USDA EID tags by their 840 prefix. The first three digits identify the country of origin. 840 = United States Official Identification Official 840 tags require a Premises Identification Number (PIN) for purchase. These tags are commonly used for interstate movement and animal disease traceability. Many cattle operations also use manufacturer-coded RFID tags that function exactly the same but do not require a PIN. For example, ALLFLEX manufacturer-coded tags begin with the prefix 982. Both provide reliable electronic identification for herd management. Choosing The Right RFID Equipment Selecting the proper RFID system starts with choosing tags, readers, and applicators designed to work together.

The AI Recruiting Summit 2026 kicks off July 13th and runs through July 20th, and this episode is your preview of exactly what you will see there. Live sessions are free, so you can pop in and out around your desk. If you want the replays, grab the VIP option or join the Elite Recruiter Community, where every summit replay lives permanently. Register now at https://ai-recruiting-summit-2026.heysummit.com/ because 2026 is the year you draw your line in the sand. This episode is brought to you by Atlas, the AI first recruitment platform built to eliminate admin. Atlas captures every candidate conversation automatically and turns it into something you can use. With MagicSearch you can ask questions like who mentioned they are open to relocating next year, and it pulls answers instantly from real conversations across your entire database. Atlas customers have reported over 40 percent EBITDA growth and over 80 percent increase in monthly billings. Unlock your exclusive listener offer at https://recruitwithatlas.com/ Pulled straight from the Elite Recruiter Community library, this session is a taste of the summit format: a real recruiter walking through a real AI powered desk, screen level detail and all. Nick Poloni of Cascadia Search Group billed 1.3 million dollars last year, his first time crossing the million mark, with only about half a year on his current AI stack. This year he is already around 700K and climbing. And here is the part that should stop you mid scroll: he rates his own coding ability a one out of ten. He cannot write a line of code, and he still built his own recruiting bots, rebuilt his firm's entire website from scratch in Claude, and wired his ATS into Slack so a pipeline bot flags every stalled candidate before breakfast. Alongside Jake Price of PIN, Nick breaks down the full system. He records hiring manager intake calls, feeds the notes into Claude, and has AI write his AI sourcing prompts. His outreach is short, specific, and so personalized that candidates reply just to ask if he is real, at one point pulling around a 70 percent response rate across email and LinkedIn on over a thousand candidates. He has done zero traditional business development, no cold calls to HR, ever. Instead he gives away candidates, floats resumes for free, and lets value do the selling, a philosophy that landed him a 20K a month retainer and a 100 rep sales build. You will also hear how he sourced an entire salesforce in two and a half weeks, ran 500 to 800 interviews over three months without a single no show, and turned a Philippines based assistant into the chief of getting stuff done. If any of this feels out of reach, that is exactly why the summit exists. From July 13 through July 20 you will get walkthroughs, tools, and tech you can steal for your own desk. Nick's billing figures are his own account of his results, shared as he told them.

South Carolina prosecutors are pushing back against Alex Murdaugh's defense team as he prepares for a retrial in the murders of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul. The fight centers on a defense request for independent testing of DNA found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails, specifically her left fingernail clippings. Murdaugh's lawyers argue the sample included DNA from an unknown unrelated male and want it sent to Othram, a forensic genetic genealogy lab, at Murdaugh's expense. Prosecutors counter that SLED already tested the evidence and found only Maggie's DNA mixed with what they described as a “very partial and incomplete” profile from another contributor, not enough to upload to CODIS. They also argue that trace or touch DNA under fingernails does not automatically mean a struggle took place, because it can be transferred through ordinary contact, objects, or the environment, and they noted Maggie had her nails done the day she was killed.The state also opposed Murdaugh's request to use a secure prison laptop to review case materials, arguing he should not be trusted with unsupervised electronic access behind bars. Prosecutors pointed to prior disciplinary issues involving alleged misuse of a prison tablet, unauthorized use of another inmate's PIN, and a previous contraband issue involving a book allegedly passed to him through defense staff. Judge Debra McCaslin did not immediately rule on the DNA issue and told the defense to clarify whether the remaining sample is viable for further testing. On the laptop issue, she indicated the prison warden would not allow Murdaugh to keep one in his cell because of safety concerns, but suggested his attorneys could bring a laptop to a conference room and review materials with him under supervision. The larger backdrop is that Murdaugh is headed for a retrial after the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned his murder convictions in May, finding that former clerk of court Becky Hill's conduct had tainted the jury.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Alex Murdaugh DNA testing opposed by prosecutors ahead of retrial | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

With no background in fiber but a calling to help women in need, Diana Wiley built a thriving organization on handspun yarn, needlefelted gorillas, and a holistic community for over 200 women. Stepping into the Handspun Hope booth at a fiber festival feels like entering a luxury boutique filled with natural fibers, colorful yarns, handmade buttons, and whimsical sculptures. It would be easy to enjoy the offerings without wondering about the company's name—not only “handspun” (yes, the yarns on offer have all been spun by hand) but also “Hope.” The proceeds from everything sold in the booth are returned to women whom the company supports in Rwanda. A decade after the bloody genocide in Rwanda had come to an end, Diana felt called to help the women living in its aftermath. She had volunteered in relief efforts in other parts of Africa, but her thoughts returned again and again to the plight of Rwandan women making their lives in the aftermath of HIV, extreme poverty, and the long shadow of conflict. Connecting with a former colleague who directed World Relief in Rwanda, she visited the country in 2007. What she saw moved her so greatly that within two days she had quit her corporate job to devote herself to helping. Diana had no previous experience in yarn, and Rwanda had no local wool culture. Diana wondered if the wool from sheep she came across could be made into yarn, but the first samples she sent to fiber experts weren't suitable for spinning. She found a handful of Merino rams from an failed government breeding project in the country, imported a group of Merino ewes from Kenya, and Handspun Hope began their handspinning program. Once the sheep were found, the group had to develop spinning skills, first with handspindles and eventually with spinning wheels, and the women learned to dye the yarn with plants. They have added angora rabbits and yarns, too. Women also sculpt the group's wool into imaginative ornaments and sculptures by needlefelting. Through the Hope Artisan Collective, the organization buys yarns and finished items from several fair trade women's groups across Africa. The group is based not far from the habitat of the famous silverback gorillas that attract tourists from around the world, and high-end gift shops in the area sell the group's needlefelted gorilla sculptures. With income from the fiber and other goods, Handspun Hope not only pays their workers an above market wage, they also offer medical care, early childhood care, and a daily meal for their staff's young family members. Although about half of the organization's budget comes from donations, Diana emphasizes that the goal is to cultivate the women's ability to support themselves through meaningful work. Diana is proudest of helping the women of Handspun Hope build the lives that they wish for—like Rosa, their oldest member at age 92, who realized her dream of owning a pig. Each day, before arriving at the organization's campus, she visits her granddaughter's house to see the pig that she purchased through the work of her own hands.

Movie of the Year: 2006BrickThe Brick podcast episode of Movie of the Year arrives just in time to appreciate one of 2006's most audacious genre experiments. Ryan, Mike, and Greg are joined by Pete Wright of TruStory FM to dig into Rian Johnson's neo-noir debut, a film that transplants the hard-boiled world of Dashiell Hammett into the hallways and parking lots of a Southern California high school. Few films from this era take a bigger swing, and fewer still land it this cleanly.About Brick (2006)Brick is a neo-noir mystery thriller written, edited, and directed by Rian Johnson in his feature directorial debut. The film opened in New York and Los Angeles on April 7, 2006, distributed by Focus Features. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Brendan Frye, a teenage loner who pushes his way into the criminal underworld of his high school to investigate the disappearance -- and eventual murder -- of his ex-girlfriend Emily, played by Emilie de Ravin. The supporting cast includes Lukas Haas as the drug kingpin known only as the Pin, Nora Zehetner as the duplicitous Laura, Noah Fleiss as the enforcer Tug, and Richard Roundtree as a vice principal navigating the chaos from the margins.Johnson wrote the first draft in 1997 immediately after graduating from USC School of Cinematic Arts. He spent the next seven years trying to get it made, with every financier asking him to set it in college instead of high school. He ultimately raised approximately $450,000 from friends and family, shot the film in 20 days, and spent three months rehearsing with the cast beforehand. The score -- inventive and deeply atmospheric -- was composed by Johnson's cousin Nathan Johnson using traditional instruments alongside improvised ones including filing cabinets, kitchen utensils, and tack pianos, all recorded on an Apple PowerBook.The film drew on hardboiled classics, particularly the novels of Dashiell Hammett, and won the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. It holds an 80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and earned three stars from Roger Ebert, who called it a rich source of dialogue and behavior. You can read Ebert's full review at RogerEbert.com. Brick has since become a cult classic and a clear blueprint for Johnson's later work on Knives Out.Find the full cast and crew listing at Brick on IMDb.Guest Panelist: Pete WrightPete Wright is a podcaster, author, educator, and co-founder of TruStory FM, a podcast production network he has built over more than three decades in media. He has logged thousands of episodes across more than three dozen shows covering film, ADHD, creative process, brand storytelling, and the craft of audio production. His work spans journalism, corporate communications, and graduate-level teaching, where he spent fifteen years working with students on storytelling and media production.Among his best-known projects is The Next Reel Film Podcast, a deep-dive film discussion series that serves as his primary film-critical home. He also co-hosts Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast alongside Nikki Kinzer, an award-winning show with over a million annual downloads and 29 seasons of episodes since its 2010 launch. In 2024, Pete and Nikki co-authored Unapologetically ADHD: A Step-by-Step Framework for Everyday Planning on Your Terms, a practical guide grown directly from the podcast's community and themes. His debut science fiction novella, Lattice, was published in 2026. Pete's most recent podcast venture is Headstone, a personal series about legacy, memory, and the stories we leave behind. He is based in Portland, Oregon. This Brick podcast episode marks his first appearance on Movie of the Year.Brick Podcast Discussion: Noir in High SchoolThe central creative gamble of Brick is not simply that it applies film noir conventions to a high school setting. More precisely, it applies them without irony. Johnson made a deliberate choice to play every scene completely straight, and the cast follows his lead without a single wink at the camera. Consequently, the absurdity of the premise becomes the engine of the film's tension rather than its release valve.This Brick podcast opens with a foundational question: does the noir-in-high-school conceit actually work? The genre's grammar depends heavily on power asymmetry, corruption, and the lone investigator operating outside institutional structures. High school provides all three. Brendan's relationship with the vice principal mirrors the classic detective's uneasy truce with law enforcement. The Pin's basement headquarters functions as the smoky back room. The femme fatale and the enforcer play their archetypal roles without adjustment.Johnson drew specifically on the novels of Dashiell Hammett -- particularly the Continental Op stories -- and encouraged his cast to read Hammett rather than watch noir films. He wanted the stylistic choices to come from the source material, not from imitation of existing screen adaptations. That decision gives Brick a distinctive texture. Moreover, the dialogue mixes actual period noir slang with invented high school vernacular in a way that creates its own self-consistent world. As Roger Ebert noted, the story never fully clarifies itself while it unfolds, but it delivers a rich supply of behavior and incident along the way.Genre Bending: What the Brick 2006 Film Is Actually DoingBrick belongs to a specific 2006 moment when genre recombination was operating at a high creative pitch. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang had landed the previous year playing similar games with noir self-awareness. Sin City had arrived with a maximalist visual approach to the same source material. Brick chose a third path: minimal budget, straight-faced commitment, and an insistence that the formal constraints of the genre could do meaningful emotional work if you simply trusted them.The genre-bending discussion on this Brick podcast examines how Johnson uses the noir framework not as homage but as architecture. The structure of a hardboiled mystery -- the inciting mystery, the series of contacts, the betrayal, the revelation -- maps onto adolescent social hierarchies with surprising precision. Furthermore, the paranoia endemic to the genre translates naturally into the heightened social surveillance of high school life, where everyone watches everyone and information is currency.The Spaghetti Western and Anime InfluencesJohnson has cited Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns and Shinichiro Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop as visual influences alongside the noir literary tradition. That combination matters, because it explains why Brick never feels purely retro. The film's rhythm and its relationship to violence carry a different energy than classic noir. Notably, Johnson used shoes as a design element for each character, treating footwear as an immediate visual shorthand for who each person is. It's a small detail that reflects how thoroughly he thought through every layer of the film's visual language.Additionally, the score by Nathan Johnson uses invented instruments -- wine-o-phones, tack pianos, kitchen utensils -- to create an atmosphere that nods to classic noir without reproducing it. The result is a film that works as genre exercise, coming-of-age story, and tone poem simultaneously.The Treatment of Women in BrickNoir has always had a complicated relationship with its female characters, and Brick inherits that complication without fully interrogating it. Emily exists primarily as a body -- a mystery to be solved, a loss to be avenged. She drives the entire plot but occupies very little of the film's actual screen time. Laura is more present, but her function remains rooted in the femme fatale archetype: beautiful, manipulative, ultimately revealed as the architect of the tragedy.The Brick podcast addresses this directly. Does Johnson's decision to play the genre completely straight mean he also reproduces its blind spots uncritically? The case for the defense is that Brick is a formal exercise, and the female characters serve genre functions that the film deliberately signals as such. The case against is that signaling an archetype and interrogating it are different things, and Brick largely declines to do the latter.Moreover, the pregnancy subplot -- Emily is pregnant with Tug's child, a revelation that triggers her murder -- adds a layer of consequence to the female characters' bodies that the film handles with notable brevity. It functions as a plot mechanism more than a human reality. The discussion examines how this choice shapes the film's emotional center, which ultimately rests entirely with Brendan's grief and not with Emily's life or Laura's survival.Nevertheless, Nora Zehetner's performance as Laura earns genuine complexity within the constraints the script gives her. The hosts explore whether that performance transcends the archetype or simply executes it with exceptional skill.Rushmore: 2006 It BoysThe Taste Buds carve out space in this episode for a Rushmore segment dedicated to the It Boys of 2006 -- the young male actors whose stars were ascending in that specific cultural moment. Brick arrives at a fascinating point in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's career trajectory, before Inception and The Dark Knight Rises made him a mainstream anchor, when he was still operating in the cult-film

But let me break down what's actually in it before you decide.Here's what you get:→ Stories stay visible for 48 hours instead of 24→ Rewatch counts meaning you can see how many times someone replayed your story→ Viewer search, find specific people in your viewer list by username→ Custom audience lists (no more creating group chats just to target specific followers)→ Pin up to 6 posts on your profile→ Post to your grid without pushing it into your followers' main feeds→ Custom app icons and bio fonts (my favorite)So… is it worth it?If you're barely posting right now, no.Fix consistency first, because no paid feature can do that for you.But if you're actively using Stories to nurture leads and build relationships?The analytics alone are interesting. Knowing who rewatched your story (and how many times) is warm lead data that didn't exist before.Also worth knowing… this is completely separate from Meta Verified.The $14.99/month blue checkmark subscription. Meta now has two paid tiers running at the same time.One is about credibility, one is about features.

As Spin Off nears 50 years old, editor Pamela K. Schultz sees herself as the host of a wonderful spinning party that welcomes one and all. Taking a day off from the grind of law school, Pamela Schultz visited an art fair and saw a spinner with a spinning wheel. A longtime knitter, she had resisted suggestions that she learn to spin, but the rhythm of treadling and drafting offered an antidote to her stress. She had a few hiccups at the beginning, fighting against unsuitable fiber and unloved tools, but eventually she was hooked. Within a few years of learning to spin, as her passions for spinning and other crafts grew, Pamela found herself teaching others to spin using resources from Spin Off's website. When she had the opportunity to deepen her craft, she dove deeply into not only knitting and spinning but also weaving and other fibery explorations. In 2024 she became Spin Off's content editor and in 2025 took the helm. Pamela keeps in mind those experiences as a beginning spinner and a teacher of beginners as she develops the editorial plans for Spin Off's magazine, website, and video offerings. She describes what goes into building a balanced issue—inspiration, project patterns, tutorials, and community— and what it takes to bring it all to life. For a publication nearing 50 years, Spin Off focuses on finding the right balance of foundational basics, brain-tickling invitations to exploration, and rigorous deep dives into spinning technique. In this episode, hear Pamela's take on the particular joy spinners take in sharing our craft, find out what a first-timer at SOAR should know, and learn about the free resources from teaching guides to video courses that Spin Off offers alongside the magazine.

At Infosecurity Europe 2026, Jeanclaude Toma, Chief Executive Officer of Apricorn, joins Sean Martin to reframe where secure storage fits in the security conversation. After roughly four decades building hardware-encrypted drives, Apricorn wants the market to treat storage as a security decision rather than a hardware afterthought. How does a storage device become a security control? Toma points to the device itself: no one reaches the data without the code. Access requires a PIN entered on the drive, and the encrypted vault stays closed to everyone else. The protection travels with the drive and does not depend on the host system. Apricorn builds to FIPS certification requirements, hardens against environmental stress down to the connector, and tests repeatedly so compliance arrives built in. Why does this matter at the macro scale? Toma joined Apricorn three months ago to expand the portfolio and connect storage to the broader security marketplace, from military, government, and aerospace settings to the enterprise. He also hints at new form factors still under wraps. Listen in to hear why Apricorn treats the business and operations behind the product as seriously as the product itself. This is a Brand Highlight. A Brand Highlight is a ~5 minute introductory conversation designed to put a spotlight on the guest and their company.

Brian is hiding from CMA Fest, Ben is back from the British Virgin Islands, and Ted has finally sprung the Egg from a two-month annual. Time for an Information Whiskey episode.Brian gets back in the air after his exam binge with a visit to Full Stop Aviation at Union City, where he meets a 1,000 horsepower Reno racer, then executes a strategic family airstrike to the Virginia mountains and reports that Lucy's autopilot vertical hold now sounds like logging into America Online before giving up entirely. Listener feedback from Chris H. sparks a debate on whether heavy dual time before the private checkride is a red flag or just life happening. Community accomplishments include a PIN code for the DC FRZ, a 9,000 foot density altitude wake turbulence encounter, ten Young Eagles in one day, an LSRM-I sign-off, and fresh grief for everyone hand jamming a Garmin 430 in actual.Then things go deeper. Brian unpacks his new video "Trip. Fall. Succeed." and the photograph he took of a family at Huntsville Executive just two days before they were lost in the Montana Aztec accident. It's a thoughtful look at how aviation talks about tragedy, and how Ron Horton's challenge to become instructors gives all of this weight and purpose.Plus: episode 200 hits this fall, and the crew wants your votes for a very special non-event event at a no-place place.

You and your daughter hear a pro-choice argument that catches you off guard: if a building were on fire and you could only save the newborns in the nursery or the frozen embryos in the freezer, everyone would save the newborns, so embryos must not be as valuable. How do you respond?In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz uses that exact argument to teach a simple, repeatable way to evaluate any objection that gives you pause. You'll learn how to:Pin down what an argument is really claiming, premise by premise.Pressure-test each premise to see whether it actually holds up.Respond wisely, with disarming questions that open a real conversation instead of a debate.You'll also hear why the gut instinct that an embryo is "less human" than a born baby falls apart under examination, and how a single well-placed question can expose the hidden flaw in the burning-building scenario. It is a conversation that will sharpen your own thinking and give you the tools to train your children to do the same.Resources mentioned: What Is Truth? (a picture book for ages 4 to 7) and the Careful Thinking curriculum (ages 10 and up), both available at foundationworldview.com.Have a question you would like answered on a future episode?

Among four-shaft weavers, A Handweaver's Pattern Book is commonly referred to by just the author's name—Davison—or as “the green book,” a reference to the iconic cover of many of the book's printings. Since Marguerite Porter Davison first published it in 1944, it has been a foundational reference, the first book that many weavers buy and the one they keep close at hand. Packed with drafts and photographs for overshot, twill, crackle, and dozens of other structures, it's the weaver's answer to The Joy of Cooking: a starting point for design, a resource for understanding a structure, and a map for exploration. Although it remained in print for decades, it became unavailable in 2005, and the weaving community felt the loss. For the past several years, a group of nearly 100 weavers and other volunteers has been working to bring it back. Weavers from guilds from coast to coast have nearly finished reweaving all of the book's samples—more than 1,200 of them—in color. Technical reviewers have created contemporary drafts. The original instructions for sinking-shed looms have been adapted to the jack looms more common in most weavers' studios. Despite the updates, the project's north star has been to honor Davison's voice and intentions. The updated edition, to be published by Schiffer Craft, is expected in summer 2027. Leading the effort is Caroline Cooley Browne, who happens to be Marguerite Porter Davison's granddaughter. Davison died when Caroline was a baby, but she grew up hearing stories from her mother of warping looms in Marguerite's attic studio, of train rides to the printer, of the woman who traveled to numerous guilds because she loved being with other weavers. When the copyright to the 1951 edition eventually came to Caroline through her family, she knew what to do with it, and she enlisted a team of eager volunteers to help bring the new edition to life. In this episode, Caroline is joined by Donna Johnson of the Whidbey Weavers Guild, who coordinates volunteers for the guild's sample weaving, and Anita Osterhaug, who connected the project with the publisher and has been part of the technical steering committee. Together they talk about the logistical undertaking of standardizing hundreds of samples across dozens of weavers, the technical decisions involved in updating the book, and what it has felt like to be part of the next chapter of something this important. Listen in to hear why the green book has never gone out of fashion, what surprised the weavers as they worked through structures they'd never tried before, and what Marguerite Porter Davison's granddaughter hopes she would think of the whole endeavor.

Nobody had built the orchestration layer that unifies the end-to-end worker experience across all of them. 15:30 – Enterprise Software Re-Architecture: 5 Months, Not 5 Years The speed at which AI is upending enterprise software is being radically underestimated. Not a five-year transformation — a five-month one. What Claude and coding agents are making possible right now. 18:00 – Compliance Is Not Vibable Federal, state, and local compliance obligations are discrete, black and white, and non-negotiable. That's Onboarded's moat — and why no amount of AI creativity replaces domain expertise in this space. 21:00 – Enabling Builders on Top of the Compliance Foundation How Onboarded balances compliance rigidity with entrepreneurial flexibility: partners and independent builders using the platform to build their own products on top of a compliance-ready foundation. 24:00 – The Founder Philosophy: Say Stupid Stuff to the Right People Finding people you trust enough to say your dumbest ideas to — who will push back hard and still be with you when the dust settles. That's the real engine of innovation. 27:00 – Where to Find Onboarded onboardr.com — a freshly launched website with a free trial and direct scheduling available. TAKEAWAYS: 1. The Messy Middle Is the Most Underserved Layer in HR Tech Every recruiting tool has onboarding. Every HRIS has onboarding. But nobody built the orchestration layer that connects them elegantly for the worker and for the operators managing it all. That's the gap Onboarded identified — and it's larger and more painful than most people outside high-volume hiring environments realize. 2. W-2 Hiring Is 10x More Complex Than Contractor Onboarding The gig economy built an enormous amount of infrastructure for contractor trust and safety. But the W-2 world — with its federal, state, and local compliance obligations, background check requirements, I-9 verification, and benefits enrollment — is a fundamentally different problem. Mike learned this at Checkr and built Onboarded to solve it. 3. Enterprise Software Is Being Re-Architected in Months, Not Years Mike's view on AI's pace is one of the most direct in the series: people are underestimating how fast the change is coming. Not a five-year transformation curve — a five-month one. The coding agents available today, powered by tools like Claude, are already capable of building enterprise- grade software. Every software company needs to be honest about what that means for their product. 4. Compliance Is the One Category AI Cannot Vibe Away The federal, state, and local obligations governing W-2 hiring are not ambiguous, interpretable, or creatively solvable. They are discrete, binary, and non-negotiable. That is Onboarded's defensibility. No vibe coding tool can build compliance infrastructure. That requires domain expertise, legal knowledge, and years of working inside the problem — and that's exactly what the Onboarded team brings. 5. The Right Moat Is Domain Expertise, Not Just Technology In a world where building software is getting cheaper and faster, the companies with genuine defensibility are those with deep domain expertise that can't be replicated with a good prompt. Mike's background at Checkr building trust and safety infrastructure for the gig economy is the foundation that makes Onboarded's compliance product credible — and the reason partners trust it enough to build on top of it. 6. Build With People You Know — Especially Your First Team Mike's intentional choice to build Onboarded with people from his past — people whose families he knows, who've traveled together, who have real relational history — wasn't nostalgia. It was strategy. Trust that's pre-built from shared experience is the fastest path to a high-functioning founding team. You spend zero time establishing credibility and all your time solving problems. 7. Family First Is a Performance Strategy, Not Just a Value Onboarded invites families to offsites. They prioritize the spousal and parental relationships of their employees as an explicit part of their culture. Mike's reasoning: companies that ask people to choose between family and work get less from both. Companies that make space for the whole person get more output, more loyalty, and more resilience when things get hard. 8. The Best Founding Teams Can Say Stupid Things to Each Other Mike's counterintuitive founder philosophy: the most important feature of a great founding team isn't complementary skills or market knowledge — it's the psychological safety to say your worst ideas out loud without losing credibility. When you can argue, disagree, say the dumb thing, and still trust each other completely, you can work through anything. That's the trust foundation that makes the rest possible. 9. Enabling Others to Build on Your Foundation Is a Growth Strategy Onboarded isn't just a product — it's a platform. Partners and independent entrepreneurs are building compliance-ready applications on top of the Onboarded foundation, extending its reach and value without the company having to build everything itself. In an era of rapid AI-enabled building, making your core defensible and your surface area open to builders is a powerful combination.

People leaders have to be genuinely bought in, and the first step has to be frictionless. 07:00 – How a Wellness Movement Starts Inside a Company What happens when adoption takes off: colleagues watching each other change, bad knees getting better, muscle being built. The movement becomes self-sustaining — but it has to start somewhere. 09:30 – 5% vs. 50%: The Adoption Gap That Defines the Market The industry average for gym-only wellness benefits is 5% adoption. Wellhub's platform sits at 40-50%. Breadth, personalization, easy onboarding, and people team support drive the gap. 12:00 – The 86% Number That Changes Everything 86% of employees say they would consider switching jobs if their company didn't offer wellbeing benefits — and that number is growing year over year. 15:00 – Wellness as a Healthcare Cost Strategy Healthier employees mean lower medical costs. Wellbeing benefits aren't a morale spend — they're a healthcare offset. The direct business case, made clearly. 17:30 – GLP-1s: Medication Is Only Half the Solution Why weight-loss medication without lifestyle change is unsustainable: muscle mass loss, bone density loss, the rebound effect. GLP-1s need to be paired with nutrition, exercise, and sleep to hold. 21:30 – Sleep Is a Weight Management Tool Most People Ignore Lívia's personal data: two to three nights of poor sleep raises her weight regardless of diet or exercise. The interconnected nature of sleep, weight, and wellness — and why all of it needs to be addressed together. 24:00 – AI at Wellhub: Coach, Recommendations & Selling at Scale An AI wellness coach, personalized content recommendations, and AI tools on the sales side to explain the product at scale across companies of all sizes and geographies. 26:30 – Letting Teams Experiment: The Chaos and the Clarity Wellhub gave its people teams license to experiment freely with AI — lived through months of productive chaos — and is now in the best practices sharing phase where one solution is solving 15 problems. 29:00 – Transform 2026: Connection Over Content Lívia's first Transform — and her verdict: the value is in the unscheduled moments, the hallway conversations, the person who sits down mid-introduction and becomes the best exchange of the conference. 31:30 – Where to Find Wellhub wellhub.com for product, partnerships, and getting in touch — and a reflection on what makes conferences like Transform genuinely worth attending. TAKEAWAYS: 1. 86% of Employees Would Consider Switching Jobs Over Wellbeing Benefits This is the most striking retention data point in the series. Wellhub's annual survey shows 86% of employees would consider or actively switch jobs if their company didn't offer wellbeing benefits — and the number is growing. For HR leaders and total rewards strategists, this moves wellness from ancillary to foundational in any competitive benefits package. 2. Industry Adoption Averages 5%. Wellhub's Is 40-50%. The gap between a generic gym benefit and a well-designed wellness platform isn't marginal — it's a 10x difference in adoption. The combination of breadth, personalization, easy enrollment, and people team support is what drives utilization from a footnote to a movement. Companies measuring benefits ROI by the number of options offered rather than the percentage of employees actually using them are measuring the wrong thing. 3. Wellness Benefits Drive Healthcare Cost Reduction The business case for wellness investment isn't just retention and morale — it's medical spend. Healthier employees drive lower insurance claims, fewer sick days, and more sustainable long- term healthcare costs. Lívia makes this connection directly: wellbeing benefits are a healthcare offset strategy, not a culture spend. 4. People Leaders Have to Be Genuinely Bought In — Not Just Compliant Adoption starts at the top. When HR and people leaders are personally using and visibly championing a wellness benefit — not just administering it — that signal travels through the organization. Lip service produces 5% adoption. Genuine conviction produces 50%. 5. A Wellness Movement Is Self-Sustaining Once It Starts The most powerful driver of wellbeing benefit adoption isn't communication or incentives — it's the moment employees start watching each other change. A colleague's bad knee gets better. Someone builds muscle. Someone sleeps through the night for the first time in months. Those visible transformations create organic pull that no marketing campaign can replicate. 6. GLP-1 Medication Without Lifestyle Change Is a Dead End Lívia's GLP-1 take is the clearest and most medically grounded in the series: the medication works by burning energy indiscriminately — it doesn't distinguish between fat, muscle mass, and bone density. Stop taking it without having built sustainable habits, and the weight returns. The medication is a tool, not a solution. Nutrition, exercise, and sleep have to accompany it for the program to hold. 7. Sleep Is a Weight and Wellness Variable Most Companies Aren't Tracking Lívia's personal data: two to three nights of poor sleep raises her weight regardless of diet or exercise. This connection — between sleep quality and metabolic health — is well-documented but largely absent from most corporate wellness conversations. Any wellbeing platform that doesn't address sleep is leaving a critical variable unaddressed. 8. Wellbeing Personalization Is the Future of Benefits Design The choose-your-own-journey model — where employees select their own wellness path from a broad menu of options, and can change it as their life changes — is the direction all benefits design is heading. One-size-fits-all packages are already failing on adoption metrics. The companies that move to personalized, flexible, employee-directed wellbeing will see the utilization numbers that justify the investment. 9. Give Your Teams License to Experiment With AI — Then Share What Works Wellhub's internal AI journey: give people teams permission to experiment freely, accept that it will be chaotic for a few months, and then create a structured best practices sharing process that surfaces the solutions that are actually working. The companies that are winning with AI internally right now aren't the ones with the most sophisticated strategy — they're the ones who started experimenting earliest and created feedback loops fastest. 10. The Best Conference Connections Are Unscheduled Lívia's first Transform validated something this series has heard repeatedly: the most valuable moments at conferences like this aren't the sessions — they're the conversations that happen between them. The person who sits down mid-introduction, the hallway exchange that turns into a 30-minute deep dive on AI adoption and change management. Conferences that create more space for that serendipity deliver more value than those packed with content.

Full Disconnection on Leave Is a Culture Signal, Not a Personal Choice Ariana's ability to fully disconnect during five months of maternity leave wasn't just personal discipline — it was enabled by a company culture that explicitly supports and expects it. Greenhouse has a caregiver community, respects the whole person, and understands that genuine recovery and presence during leave leads to a better return. Companies that say they support leave but create implicit pressure to stay connected are signaling something important about how they see their employees. 2. Institutional Knowledge Is the Best Return-to-Work Advantage What made Ariana's return from leave smooth wasn't a structured onboarding plan — it was nearly 11 years of context. She knew the Q4 rhythms, the relationships, the unwritten rules. For companies managing returning employees, this is a reminder that the investment in long tenure pays dividends at the most vulnerable moments. 3. The Candidate Experience Has to Be Half the Product Greenhouse's mission — make hiring work for everyone — isn't just a brand statement. It's a product design imperative that extends to the job seeker experience, not just the recruiter experience. In a market that is genuinely brutal for candidates right now, companies and platforms that design for both sides of the hiring equation will win trust from both. 4. Dream Job Signals Cut Through AI-Generated Noise Greenhouse's My Greenhouse platform — which lets candidates designate companies as dream job targets and signal genuine intent once a month — is a direct response to the noise problem created by AI mass-application tools. In a world where volume no longer equals signal, deliberate intent becomes the most valuable data point in the funnel. 5. The Market Is Shifting Toward Behavioral Hiring Over Background Matching Greenhouse is redesigning its own interview architecture around specific defined behaviors — 'make good decisions fast,' 'invent the future,' 'be entrepreneurial' — rather than experience checkboxes. The implication for candidates: the ability to demonstrate how you think and decide is becoming more important than where you've worked. Portfolio career holders take note. 6. The STAR Method Is Fully Gameable — and Everyone Knows It Traditional structured behavioral interviewing was built for a world where candidates had to recall and articulate their own experiences. AI second-screen tools have made that world obsolete. Real-time answer coaching during live interviews is happening right now, at scale, and the recruiting teams that haven't redesigned their interview approach for this reality are operating on outdated assumptions. 7. AI Offense and AI Defense Is the Most Useful Interview Framework in This Series Ariana's team ran a workshop that split into two tracks: AI defense (how do we design questions that are more AI-resistant and require genuine human judgment to answer?) and AI offense (how do we explicitly screen for AI mindset, curiosity, and capability as a positive qualification?). Both are necessary. Neither alone is sufficient. This framework is immediately replicable. 8. 'How Do You Use AI Personally?' Is One of the Most Revealing Interview Questions Right Now Asking candidates how they use AI in their personal or professional lives — not to catch them using it wrong, but to surface genuine curiosity and self-direction — is becoming one of the sharpest signals available in an interview. The candidates who have been experimenting, iterating, and developing their own AI workflows are showing you something important about how they'll operate in roles that don't yet have defined playbooks. 9. Portfolio Careers Need Behavioral Framing to Land Adam's candid share about feeling 'unhirable' after 10 years running his own business is a common experience for independent professionals re-entering corporate environments. Ariana's coaching: the shift toward behavioral hiring is actually an advantage for portfolio career holders — because the behaviors that make someone successful in an entrepreneurial context (making decisions fast, inventing solutions, operating without consensus) are exactly the behaviors companies are now explicitly hiring for. 10. The Best Conference Value Is the Hallway Conversation, Not the Session Ariana didn't attend a single formal session at Transform and still left with more actionable intelligence than most attendees. The real value — for her and for the industry — is in the one- to-one conversations between practitioners comparing notes on what they're actually building and experimenting with. Conference organizers should design more space for that. Attendees should prioritize it. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Welcome Back: Motherhood & the Return Adam reunites with Ariana Moon — last seen 8 months pregnant — and gets the update on baby Leo, sleep training, and how a strong support village made the first year survivable. 02:30 – Taking 5 Months of Leave — Fully Disconnected What it looks like to actually step away: Greenhouse's culture of respecting leave, why full disconnection is both supported and expected, and why Ariana has zero guilt about it. 05:30 – The Timing Was Right: Checking Out During the AI Gold Rush Her leave coincided with peak AI hype saturation. Stepping away while the market worked itself out turned out to be exactly the right call. 07:30 – Coming Back After Leave: The Real Reimmersion Story How 11 years of institutional knowledge, strong internal relationships, and knowing exactly what Q4 looks like made the return smoother than it would have been for anyone else. 10:00 – What It Means to Recruit at a Recruiting Platform The unusual dual role: running a great recruiting team while also serving as a live feedback loop for the product and staying connected to how the market is evolving. 13:00 – The Candidate Experience Nobody Talks About Enough Greenhouse's mission — make hiring work for everyone — and why it has to extend beyond the recruiter to the candidate side. The market is brutal for job seekers right now. 15:30 – My Greenhouse: The Dream Job Feature How Greenhouse's B2C platform lets candidates designate dream job companies, signal genuine intent once a month, and give recruiters a quality signal in a market flooded with AI-generated noise. 18:30 – Portfolio Careers & How to Position Them Adam gets personal about feeling 'unhirable' after 10 years of entrepreneurship — and Ariana's coaching on positioning portfolio skills in a behavioral hiring market. 21:30 – Behavioral Hiring: The Shift Toward Interpersonal Skills How Greenhouse designs interviews around defined behaviors — 'make good decisions fast,' 'invent the future' — and why the shift toward behaviors over background may be the biggest structural change in recruiting right now. 24:30 – AI Killed the STAR Method. Now What? Traditional structured interviewing is fully gameable by AI second-screen tools. Ariana's team ran a workshop to directly confront this — and built something new. 27:00 – AI Offense and AI Defense: The Framework The two-part workshop: AI defense (questions that require genuine human judgment) and AI offense (explicitly testing for AI mindset and capability as a positive qualification). 30:00 – Testing for Curiosity as a Hiring Signal Why "how do you use AI personally?" is becoming one of the most revealing interview questions — surfacing genuine curiosity and self-direction rather than catching people out. 32:30 – What's Lighting Ariana Up at Transform 2026 Ariana didn't attend a single session — and that's the point. The value of Transform is the one-to-one conversations about what people are actually doing, building, and experimenting with right now. 35:00 – Connect With Ariana & the Vegas Advocate Where to find Ariana on LinkedIn — and her unexpectedly enthusiastic case for why Las Vegas is actually a great place to live.

The Industry Shifted From Doing More to Doing Better Kyle's State of the Union in a single sentence: a year ago, AI was being applied to do more things faster. In 2026, the question has become whether those things are being done better. Volume was the first wave. Quality is the second. The vendors who survive the next cycle will be the ones who can demonstrate genuine outcome improvement, not just efficiency gains. 2. The Consolidation Bloodbath Is Over — and the Race Is Back On The expected wave of vendor exits didn't fully materialize, but AI gave surviving vendors the ability to ship value to customers faster than ever before. The competitive dynamics haven't eased — they've intensified. The companies still standing are moving faster, not slower. 3. Build vs. Buy Is Now a Real Strategic Question for TA Teams Enterprise talent acquisition teams are building their own AI workflows in-house, and that's changing the calculus for every vendor on the floor. Kyle's framework for go-to-market leaders: track how much building culture exists in your target accounts before burning sales calories. If a prospect is already building, that's not necessarily a lost sale — but it's a fundamentally different conversation. 4. Recruiting Fraud Has Become a National Security Issue The convergence of application agents, high job-seeker volume, and organized bad actors has turned recruiting fraud from an edge case into a genuine organizational risk. Kyle knows first- degree connections who have had the FBI in their office after hiring agents of foreign states. This is not hypothetical. Every company with any sensitive data or infrastructure is a target. 5. Fraud Detection Isn't One Problem — It's a Stack Problem Interview fraud doesn't have a single point of intervention. It needs to be addressed at the ATS, at the top of the funnel, and through identity verification across multiple interview stages. Kyle's benchmark of 12 AI interviewers found screen analysis capabilities — matching visual identity from interview to interview — becoming a standard feature. Manual workflows are a bridge, not a solution. 6. AI Is Finally Making Benefits Personal at Scale Benefits has always been complicated, jargon-heavy, and delivered as a one-size-fits-all package that employees don't understand. AI chat interfaces that know an employee's profile — single, two dogs, no kids — and can explain in plain language which plan makes sense for their specific life are making personalized benefits navigation possible without requiring an HRBP to sit with every employee. That's a meaningful change in how benefits gets delivered. 7. Candidates Are Getting Smarter About Total Comp — And Recruiters Need to Keep Up Kyle's observation from the market matches what Adam hears in the trenches: candidates are increasingly asking about the full picture of compensation, including employer contributions to healthcare, equity, and benefits value. Recruiters who can't articulate total comp in real numbers are at a disadvantage — and companies that can are converting more offers. 8. The Trust Gap Between Candidates and AI Is a Communication Failure, Not a Technology Failure The friction candidates are experiencing with AI in the hiring process isn't primarily a product problem — it's a communication problem. Employers are deploying AI interviewing, screening, and assessment tools without telling candidates how to use AI, what to expect, or why these tools actually benefit them. That vacuum is being filled by Reddit misinformation and candidate frustration. Simple, proactive communication could close most of that gap. 9. AI Interviewers Eliminate Ghosting — and That Matters More Than People Admit Kyle's case for AI interviewers directed at frustrated candidates: no ghosting (every candidate gets an interview option), 24/7 scheduling flexibility, the ability to self-select out of a bad fit, and a genuine touchpoint with a company that otherwise might never respond. The value proposition is real. The problem is nobody is communicating it clearly to the people who most need to hear it. 10. Practitioners Build Better Best Practices Than Vendors Do Kyle's Human-Centric AI Council — an independent group of HR and talent leaders producing free, practitioner-led resources for navigating AI — is a direct response to the gap between what vendors say about AI and what people actually in the trenches need to know. The best guidance on using AI in HR isn't coming from conference keynotes. It's coming from the people doing the work. 11. Data Labeling Is the Final Mile of AI — and Almost Nobody Is Talking About It Kyle's standout product observation from the conference: Findem's data labeling capability gives AI the contextual grounding it needs to move from generic outputs to genuinely useful ones. The last mile of AI isn't the model — it's how well the data feeding the model is understood and labeled. That's an unsexy insight with enormous downstream impact. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Introduction: The Analyst With the Best Swag Game Adam welcomes Kyle Lagunas — industry analyst, founder, and proud owner of a Peppa Pig cardigan — and sets up a State of the Union on AI in HR tech. 02:30 – State of the Union: From More to Better Kyle's one-line summary: a year ago the industry was doing more stuff. Now it's trying to do better work. What that shift actually means. 05:00 – The Consolidation Question: Is the Bloodbath Over? The expected vendor consolidation didn't fully materialize — but AI unlocked a new level of innovation speed for those who survived, putting the race back on. 07:30 – The Build-vs-Buy Threat: When Clients Become Competitors Enterprise TA teams are building their own AI tools — and what that means for vendors without genuine defensibility beyond workflow automation. 10:00 – Fraud: From Edge Case to FBI in the Office First-degree connections who've had the FBI show up after hiring agents of foreign states. How application agents, volume, and bad actors have converged into a national security problem. 13:00 – Where Fraud Detection Lives in the Stack Fraud isn't one problem with one solution — it needs to be addressed at multiple points from ATS intake through interview identity verification. 16:00 – AI as the Great Equalizer in Benefits How AI chat interfaces are finally making personalized benefits navigation possible at scale — without requiring an HRBP to sit with every employee one-on-one. 19:30 – The Smart Candidate Who Asks About Total Comp Candidates are getting more sophisticated about total compensation — and recruiters need to be ready to explain the full picture in real numbers. 22:00 – The Trust Gap: Candidates, AI, and No One Telling the Rules Employers are deploying AI throughout hiring but issuing no guidance to candidates. The result: friction, mistrust, and a PR problem that doesn't have to exist. 25:00 – The Case for AI Interviewers — Told to the Frustrated Candidate Kyle's win-win reframe: no ghosting, 24/7 scheduling, self-selection out of bad fits, and a real company touchpoint. The value is real; the communication isn't. 28:00 – The Human-Centric AI Council: Practitioners Building the Playbook An independent council of HR and talent leaders producing practitioner-led best practices for navigating AI — free, no vendor influence. 31:00 – Love It: Findem's Data Labeling Capabilities The quiet feature Kyle called the final mile of AI: contextual data labeling that gives models the grounding they need to actually deliver value. 33:30 – Love It: CodeSignal's Persona-Based AI Interviewer The demo that impressed him most — an AI interviewer that adopts the persona of the actual hiring manager, not a generic interviewer. 35:30 – Leave It: Generic Vendors Running the Same Playbook Booths full of AEs, cheap water bottles, same motions. Kyle's prescription: bring your solutions people, bring your product people, bring something worth the conversation. 37:30 – Where to Find Kyle & Transformation Realness kyleandco.com for research, Transformation Realness for the podcast, and LinkedIn where he checks in every morning and afternoon.

You Can't Improve What You Can't See The founding insight of BrightHire — and one of the most durable frameworks in this series — is that hiring is the most consequential activity in any business, yet it produces almost no data. Interview conversations happen, and then they're gone. Capturing them isn't surveillance; it's the minimum requirement for actually improving the process. 2. Comp Comes Up in Fewer Than 2% of Candidate Conversations The most surprising data point from BrightHire's 930,000-interview analysis: salary and compensation are almost never what candidates are actually talking about in interviews. What they are asking about: remote and flexible work, company growth trajectory, and product innovation. If your recruitment messaging is leading with comp, you're answering a question most candidates aren't asking. 3. Interview Data Is a Goldmine for Employer Brand Strategy Sliced by seniority, function, and location, BrightHire's interview data tells employers exactly what different candidate segments care about — giving TA teams real intelligence for outbound messaging, recruitment marketing, and preparing recruiters and interviewers to answer the questions candidates are actually going to ask. That's a fundamentally different input for employer brand strategy than surveys or focus groups. 4. Interview Fraud Is Real and Growing — and the Defense Is Already Built The use case nobody anticipated when BrightHire launched: using candidate video profiles to verify that the person who showed up for onboarding is the same person who interviewed. Dozens of customers have built SOPs around this capability. As AI-generated fraud becomes more sophisticated, the ability to cross-reference identity signals across the entire interview process is becoming a core compliance function, not a nice-to-have. 5. AI Interviewers Don't Replace Recruiters — They Give Them Better Candidates Recruiter reaction to BrightHire's AI interviewer product wasn't fear — it was relief. By expanding access at the top of the funnel, AI interviewers surface qualified candidates who would have been passed over due to capacity constraints, giving recruiters a better pool to work from and more time to do the high-value human work of cultivating and closing those candidates. 6. The Recruiter Who Adapts Has a Massive Advantage Teddy's view is direct: recruiting professionals who embrace agentic workflows will be elevated by them. Those who resist are going to find themselves on the wrong side of an irreversible shift. The profession has always evolved — and the ones who leaned into each evolution came out ahead. 7. AI Agents Are Taking on Longer, More Complex Tasks Than Most People Realize Teddy's personal experience in the last six weeks: watching an engineering colleague execute a complex multi-step task by telling his AI agent, 'Find Teddy's Slack and execute on what Teddy asked for' — and then quality-controlling the result. The length and complexity of what agents can handle autonomously is increasing faster than most people outside of engineering teams appreciate. 8. The Right Acquisition Is One That Protects Founder Velocity Teddy's framework for evaluating the Zoom acquisition: founder-led culture at the acquiring company, strong strategic alignment on product thesis, and a track record of enabling acquired companies to retain their brand, culture, and growth trajectory. Workvivo is the proof point. Being acquired by a company where the founder is still running the show at four billion in revenue is a different experience than getting absorbed into a conglomerate. 9. Customers Are Already Building What Vendors Are Selling The most clarifying thing Teddy saw on the conference floor: customers sharing the in-house AI workflows they've already built — and the framework they're using to decide what to outsource. If a tool doesn't touch PII, compliance, or regulatory requirements, they're building it themselves. The bar for defensibility has permanently moved upward, and every vendor on the floor needs to be honest about what's truly irreplaceable about what they offer. 10. Trust Is the Most Valuable Commodity in an AI-Flooded Market In a market where AI has lowered the cost of building software dramatically, vendors are proliferating and noise is at an all-time high. Teddy's observation is that the differentiator in this environment is old-fashioned: trust, integrity, post-sales investment, and actually showing up and delivering on promises. Easy to lose, hard to build — and more valuable than ever precisely because it's become rare. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Introduction & Congrats on the Acquisition Adam welcomes Teddy Chestnut, co-founder of BrightHire, fresh off the company's acquisition by Zoom. 02:00 – Born Into Recruiting: The Origin Story Both parents in HR for 30 years. Dad met mom as a recruiter. A childhood of dinner table conversations about comp plans — and how that led to BrightHire. 05:00 – The Problem Statement That Started It All Hiring is the most important decision in business, yet treated with less rigor than a $15,000 software purchase. You can't improve what you can't see. 07:30 – 2019: A Crazy Idea That Turned Out to Be Right Pitching interview recording before LLMs, before COVID, before the world normalized AI in meetings — and how the pandemic validated the thesis overnight. 10:00 – The First Customer Who Asked If They Were Charging Enough BrightHire's first beta customer asked if they were making money on the deal. The signal that they were onto something real. 12:30 – From Resistance to Commonplace: The Adoption Journey How resistance to recording interviews dissolved as recording became normalized across all business meetings — and how the conversation shifted to unlocking insights. 15:00 – 930,000 Interviews: What the Data Says The striking finding: comp comes up in fewer than 2% of candidate conversations. What candidates are actually asking about: remote work, company growth, and product innovation. 18:30 – Turning Interview Data Into Employer Brand Intelligence How BrightHire slices that data by seniority, function, and location to give customers real intelligence for outbound messaging, recruitment marketing, and interviewer prep. 21:00 – Interview Fraud: The Use Case Nobody Saw Coming The email that changed BrightHire's roadmap: using candidate thumbnail profiles to verify that the person at onboarding was the same person who interviewed. 24:00 – AI Interviewers: The Next Frontier BrightHire's conviction that AI interviewers expand access — and the recruiter reaction: "This is a godsend because I'm getting better candidates I would have passed over otherwise." 27:00 – The Recruiter Who Adapts vs. The One Who Goes Extinct Recruiters who embrace agentic workflows gain time for high-value human work. Those who resist are on the wrong side of an inevitable shift. 29:30 – Agents Are Taking on Longer-Range Tasks What Teddy witnessed in the last six weeks: a colleague executing a complex task by telling his agent "Find Teddy's Slack and execute on what Teddy asked for." 32:00 – The Zoom Acquisition: Why It Was the Right Move Founder-led culture, strong product thesis alignment, and the Workvivo track record as proof that Zoom enables acquired companies to thrive independently. 35:00 – What Impressed Teddy Most on the Conference Floor Not a vendor product — the in-house AI workflows customers have already built, and the framework they're using to decide what to outsource vs. build themselves. 38:00 – Trust Is the Most Valuable Commodity in AI-Flooded Markets In a market where building AI products is cheap and vendors are proliferating, the only truly defensible asset is trust — brand, integrity, and delivering on promises.

In the noise. In the confusion.You're blindfolded right now. You've been spinning for decades. But you just heard this message. This Voice. This Sound. STAND STILL. You're steadying yourself. Reclaiming your balance. Reclaiming your center of gravity. You are removing the blindfold now. The Sun was already out. The Son had never left. It was Me that stilled the motion. It was Me that removed the mask. It is I who Am sitting in your seat, standing in your shoes, calming that mind, and stilling the stormy seas of your life.Peace. Be. Still.All three words point to the same One. THIS IS HOW YOU WON.
