Questions to Ask YourselfAm I continuing to engage in “first-family” activities with my ex (even though we're divorced), mainly because I'm trying to guard my children from experiencing any disappointment or discomfort?Have I noticed any confusion or resentment from my children when they observe our Perfect Pal relationship and compare it to what's actually happened in their lives?Do I feel compelled to continue as Perfect Pals because I'm worried that if I don't, my ex will react poorly, possibly lash out, turn the kids against me, or punish me in some way?  And so I keep showing up as a close friend and confidant just to avoid retribution? Because of our Perfect Pal dynamic, do I sometimes abdicate or agree with my ex, even when I have a different opinion?Do you (or your new partner) harbor resentment toward your ex because they seem to have a lot of power and control over parenting decisions? Do you end up feeling unheard, devalued, or dismissed?  Does maintaining your Perfect Pal relationship seem like it's more important than having an equal voice in your children's lives?What's your next step in moving toward 'Cooperative Colleagues'?ResourcesEpisode 226.  How Two Homes Raise Kids that Thrive:  A Co-Parenting Blueprint for Caring Parents [with Jay & Tammy Daughtry]Episode 71.

Many founders wait for the “perfect moment” to sell or fixate on hitting a specific valuation target, but both can lead to missed opportunities.

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Luke Lango to the show. Luke is the senior investment analyst at our corporate affiliate InvestorPlace. He has built a reputation for spotting tech stocks on the verge of major market breakouts.   Luke kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on what many consider to be the current "AI bubble." He follows that up with how the jobs market is going to transition as AI continues to develop and how the economy will fare during that period. And he provides data for how the AI data-center epicenter has impacted the housing market. (0:00)   Next, Luke discusses the shift from companies using graphics processing units ("GPUs") to tensor processing units ("TPUs") for their data centers and why this is taking place. He then gives his thoughts on whether Intel can become a viable competitor again in this market. And he highlights the risks around the AI companies being interconnected and feeding into each other. (18:53)   Finally, Luke expresses why he's pleased that Alphabet has begun to act as a competitor to Nvidia with its own TPUs. He also covers AI being used in ads and how companies like Meta Platforms have seen success with utilizing it in that area. The three all share how they're all using AI in their personal use cases.

Edwin Chen is the founder and CEO of Surge AI, the data infrastructure company behind nearly every major frontier model. Surge works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google, providing the high-quality data and evaluation infrastructure that powers their models.  Edwin reveals why optimizing for popular benchmarks like LMArena is "basically optimizing for clickbait," how one frontier lab's models regressed for 6-12 months without anyone knowing, and why the industry's approach to measurement is fundamentally broken. Jacob and Edwin discuss what actually makes elite AI evaluators, why "there's never going to be a one size fits all solution" for AI models, and how frontier labs are taking surprisingly divergent paths to AGI. (0:00) Intro(0:56) The Pitfalls of Optimizing for LMArena(4:34) Issues with Data Quality and Measurement(9:44) The Importance of Human Evaluations(13:40) The Rise of RL Environments(17:21) Challenges and Lessons in Model Training(19:59) Silicon Valley's Pivot Culture(23:06) Technology-Driven Approach(24:18) Quality Beyond Credentials(27:51) Impact of Scale Acquisition(28:35) Hiring for Research Culture(30:48) Divergence in AI Training Paradigms(34:16) Future of AI Models(39:32) Multimodal AI and Quality(43:44) Quickfire With your co-hosts: @jacobeffron - Partner at Redpoint, Former PM Flatiron Health @patrickachase - Partner at Redpoint, Former ML Engineer LinkedIn @ericabrescia - Former COO Github, Founder Bitnami (acq'd by VMWare) @jordan_segall - Partner at Redpoint

COSTLY MISTAKES THE PITFALLS OF IRA WITHDRAWALS FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager, BWFA and Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Financial Planner, BWFA About This Episode Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are powerful tools for building wealth, but costly mistakes with withdrawals can lead to penalties, taxes, and reduced savings. In this episode, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge explain how to avoid common errors with IRA withdrawals and keep your retirement plan on track. Full Description IRAs are designed to help individuals save for retirement with tax advantages. But when it comes time to withdraw funds, the rules can be complex. Missteps—like withdrawing too early, missing required distributions, or failing to plan for taxes—can create significant financial consequences. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA's Sandy Hornor, Jr. and Tyler Kluge break down the most common mistakes people make with IRA withdrawals. They explain how taking money out before age 59½ can trigger early withdrawal penalties, and how overlooking required minimum distributions (RMDs) after age 73 can result in steep fines. The discussion also highlights how failing to coordinate withdrawals with other income sources can push retirees into higher tax brackets. Listeners will learn strategies to avoid these pitfalls. Sandy and Tyler emphasize the importance of understanding withdrawal timelines, planning ahead for taxes, and considering how withdrawals align with broader retirement goals. They also discuss how beneficiaries can make costly mistakes when inheriting IRAs if they don't follow the right distribution rules. The key takeaway: accumulating savings in an IRA is only part of the journey. Managing withdrawals wisely is just as important for preserving wealth in retirement. With the right guidance, retirees can maximize the value of their IRAs while minimizing taxes and penalties. At BWFA, we help clients navigate the complexities of retirement accounts, ensuring that every decision supports long-term financial security. This episode provides practical insights into how to avoid fumbling one of the most important aspects of retirement planning. For more resources, visit BWFA's Tax Planning Services.

Send us a textA viral kiss cam, a CEO resignation, and a very public reminder: office romance isn't rare - and it's not harmless when power, pay, and promotions are on the line. We dive into the real legal and cultural risks with employment attorney David Weisman, separating sensational headlines from practical steps every company can take today.We walk through why the riskiest relationships are supervisor–subordinate pairings, how undisclosed romances turn into conflicts of interest, and why “consensual” can change the moment a breakup happens. From the McDonald's and retail leadership cases to everyday teams in hospitals and service industries, we unpack how favoritism—real or perceived—triggers complaints, erodes morale, and pushes good people out. David explains the role of a clear fraternization policy, what a consensual relationship agreement (aka love contract) actually does, and the nonnegotiable move to end reporting relationships when dating occurs.Policy without practice is a liability. That's why we dig into scenario-based training that sets boundaries employees can remember: one respectful ask, no means no, and never across power lines. We cover documentation, graduated discipline, and fast, fair investigations that protect people and the business. If you lead a team, work in HR, or just want a healthier workplace, you'll leave with a playbook to handle relationships transparently, reduce risk, and keep trust intact.If this conversation helped you, follow the show, share it with your team, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find it.

Pitfalls to Faithfulness: Ignorance - Deuteronomy 6:20-25 (November 30, 2025) by Michael B. Linton

In this episode, Matthew W. Johnson, PhD returns to discuss how psychedelics can be leveraged to catalyze human agency. Dr. Johnson has been at the forefront of psychedelic research for 21 years, having conducted seminal research on the effects of psilocybin on mystical experience, personality, and treatment of cancer distress, major depressive disorder, and tobacco addiction. His work with tobacco addiction received the first federal funding for a classic psychedelic in the modern era of research. In this conversation, Dr. Johnson explores psychedelics as powerful enhancers of human agency—the felt capacity to steer one's own life, make meaningful choices, and act from a place of inner autonomy. Drawing from two decades of research across depression, cancer distress, addiction, and healthy volunteer studies, he argues that increases in agency may be a core, yet under-recognized, mechanism behind therapeutic change. Dr. Johnson discusses agency as a "meta-executive" function intertwined with free will, mental flexibility, and meaning-making, and suggests that psychedelics may uniquely illuminate and strengthen this capacity. In closing, he shares thoughts on how individuals can better take advantage of psychedelic-induced neuroplasticity to increase agency in their own lives.   In this episode, you'll hear: What Dr. Johnson means by "agency" and why he sees it as central to psychedelic healing Clinical examples of participants who rediscovered autonomy, changed behaviors, or reframed their suffering after psilocybin sessions Why psychedelics may enhance big-picture psychological flexibility, not just moment-to-moment cognitive flexibility How increased agency may help people with depression, addiction, and cancer distress shift entrenched patterns of thinking and behavior Potential future research directions for studying the neuroscience of agency   Quotes: "It's not just that enhancing agency is the elephant in the room of why psychedelics are working, it's also that I think psychedelics can be a tool for finally understanding this thing of human agency." [4:31] "Even if you think the sense of free will is an illusion, it has to be an evolutionarily advantageous illusion. Why else would it be seemingly universal?" [12:30] "When someone really has one of these 'ah-ha' experiences, they can really come to this perspective of 'no, no, no, no, no, I really am choosing how I'm thinking about myself.' In cancer [patients] it happened a lot."

Amy joins us to discuss the intersection of fashion and wellness, chronic invisible illnesses, and the deceptive allure of the wellness industry. From her observations as a fashion journalist to her personal experiences and deep dive into the world of wellness, Amy reveals the psychological and cultural forces at play. We explore the commercialization of self-care, the rise of wellness trends, and the problematic blend of functional medicine with profit-driven motives. Amy also touches on the controversial role of celebrities, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, in promoting pseudoscience, and the constant societal pressure on women to achieve an unattainable standard of 'wellness'. Join us as we dissect the myths of the wellness industry and delve into the true meaning of self-care.Watch on YouTube Here00:00 The Origins of a Name00:22 Introducing Amy Larocca: From Fashion to Wellness01:11 The Intersection of Fashion and Wellness02:37 The Rise of Wellness Trends04:10 Motherhood and Wellness06:59 Gwyneth Paltrow and the Goop Phenomenon17:13 The Allure and Pitfalls of Functional Medicine23:49 The Growing Gap in Healthcare Access25:21 Debunking Health Myths25:43 The Juice Cleanse Phenomenon28:41 Balancing Humor and Seriousness in Health29:04 The Absurdity of Health Trends30:35 The Exploitation of Wellness39:36 Biohacking and Its Implications41:32 The Role of Lifestyle Medicine43:35 Concluding Thoughts on Wellness Click here for the YouTube channel International Conference on ADHD in November 2025 where Dr. Lenz will be one of the speakers. Support the showWhen I started this podcast and YouTube Channel—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That's why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 29+ years as an MD. Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn't replace per...

In this Prof Responds episode of Critical Magic Theory, Professor Julian Wamble takes a critical look at Albus Dumbledore's most morally complicated choices in the Harry Potter series. Drawing on listener reflections from the Patreon post-episode chat, Prof examines how Dumbledore's permanent state of war shaped his treatment of Harry, the Order of the Phoenix, and the entire wizarding world — and how the myth of wartime necessity allows us to excuse harm done in the name of the “greater good.”Through connections to real-world wartime politics and parallels to The Hunger Games, this episode explores why Dumbledore fought evil without ever changing the system that produced it, and why loving a character doesn't mean we can't tell the truth about their actions. This is a deep, nuanced dive into power, trauma, leadership, and the limits of heroism in the Wizarding World.

After years as a partner in global firms, I've watched countless associates struggle with the billable hour for reasons that have nothing to do with their talent or work ethic. What often derails them are avoidable habits: reconstructing time at the end of the month, underbilling to appear efficient, overlawyering simple assignments, taking on too much work at once, relying on one partner for all their hours, failing to bill fully legitimate work, and assuming non-billable hours will meaningfully count toward their annual target. In this episode, I walk through the seven most common pitfalls I've seen across firms and explain exactly how they show up in day-to-day practice. These aren't theoretical issues. They're the real behaviors that cause associates to miss targets, lose credibility, or burn out. If you've ever wondered why your hours don't reflect the amount of time you know you're putting in or why the math never seems to add up, this conversation will help you identify what needs to change and how to regain control of your billable life. At a Glance 00:00 Why the billable hour creates so much anxiety 02:08 How late time entry leads to lost hours 03:41 Why underbilling backfires 04:29 How overlawyering wastes time and damages trust 05:29 What to clarify with partners before starting work 06:22 The danger of saying yes to everything 07:31 What to do when teams overload you 07:59 Why relying on one partner is risky 09:28 Legitimately billable work associates forget to record 10:15 How travel time rules differ across firms and clients 11:03 The trap of "fake billable hours" 13:59 Why unbilled time erodes your evaluation 14:27 A final reminder to examine your billable habits Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!

In this episode of Run the Numbers, CJ sits down with Greg Henry, CFO of 1Password and one of the most commercially minded finance leaders in tech, to break down why he left the public-company grind at Couchbase for a PLG-driven security business and what he's relearning in the private sphere. Greg explains how forecasting changes when the product does the selling, how to think about comp and pricing in a usage-led world, and the early tells that a model is quietly over- or under-performing. He shares why CFOs should meet far more customers than they do, how finance can drive revenue without stepping on sales, and what it actually takes for a company to plan with clarity instead of reacting. Greg also recounts the near-derailing of the Couchbase IPO, reflects on the “back nine” of his career, and offers grounded advice for aspiring first-time CFOs.—SPONSORS:RightRev automates the revenue recognition process from end to end, gives you real-time insights, and ensures ASC 606 / IFRS 15 compliance—all while closing books faster.

In this repeat episode, Dominik Dorfmeister unpacks the pitfalls of React's useCallback and useMemo, revealing how these hooks often introduce more complexity than performance gains. He explores the promise of the React Compiler, the practical power of the “latest ref” pattern, and strategies to boost code readability and maintainability at scale. Learn why overusing useEffect and manual memoization can do more harm than good, and how teams can level up their PR reviews and performance practices using tools like the ESLint React Compiler plugin.
