What Is The Best Way To Accomplish Your Dreams? | Meditate With Robert AcevesWhat if accomplishing your dreams wasn't just about motivation, but about having the right mental strategy?One of the best techniques I've learned for achieving goals is called WOOP, a science-backed goal-setting strategy developed by psychologists Gabriele Oettingen and Peter Gollwitzer.WOOP stands for Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan.First, you identify your Wish and clearly define what you want to accomplish. Then, you visualize the Outcome and imagine what your life will look and feel like once you achieve your goal.But here's where WOOP becomes especially powerful: instead of only thinking positively, you identify the Obstacles that could get in your way. These might be old habits, limiting thoughts, distractions, your environment, procrastination, or other challenges.Finally, you create a Plan for overcoming those obstacles before they happen.By combining goal setting, visualization, obstacle planning, and intentional action, the WOOP method can help you turn your dreams into realistic, achievable goals.Try this simple psychology-based technique with one of your goals and let me know in the comments how it goes. And if you know someone who could benefit from WOOP, share this video with them!#WOOP #GoalSetting #AchieveYourGoals #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #SuccessMindset #Motivation #Psychology #MentalTraining #GoalAchievement #DreamBig #RobertAcevesMusic by epidemicsound.com : Wonder - Henry Miles

Handlers carry things into the ring that have nothing to do with today — a dog who did something years ago that the nervous system never stopped bracing for, or a mistake that fused with identity and has been traveling into every run since. This episode is about forgiveness as a performance skill: what it actually means to update the file on your dog, how to separate a mistake from who you are as a handler, and why letting go of the past isn't soft — it's strategic.

A new school year brings fresh opportunities—and plenty of preparation. In this back-to-school episode of Literacy Talks, classroom teacher Lindsay Kemeny shares the five priorities she focuses on every year to create a strong start for both students and teachers.From getting to know your students before the first day to planning instruction, building relationships with families, organizing your classroom, and even taking time to celebrate the start of a new year, Lindsay offers practical strategies that can help make those first weeks more intentional and less overwhelming.Along the way, Stacy Hurst and Donell Pons expand the conversation with insights on supporting students across grade levels, fostering self-advocacy, communicating effectively with families and educators, and creating learning environments where every student can thrive.If you're looking for practical ideas to make the transition back to school smoother and more successful, this episode offers actionable strategies you can put into practice from day one.Watch on YouTube.Show NotesLindsay's 5 Principles1: Get to know your students before day one.A fresh start doesn't have to mean starting with a blank slate. Lindsay explains how she reviews academic data, previous interventions, IEP accommodations, health considerations, and other available information before school begins. That knowledge helps her make intentional decisions about seating, initial small groups, and the support individual students may need.2: Plan instruction—and teach routines through it.Rather than spending the first weeks focused exclusively on rules and procedures, Lindsay begins teaching content right away, slowing down instruction as needed to explicitly teach classroom routines along the way. Procedures for using materials, transitioning, working at desks, and participating in lessons become part of actual instruction.3: Build communication and connection early.Positive relationships with families shouldn't begin when there's a problem. The hosts discuss welcome communications, parent questionnaires, regular classroom updates, and the value of intentionally reaching out with something positive—especially to families who may be accustomed to hearing from school only when something has gone wrong.4: Design the classroom around students and learning.Classroom setup isn't just about decoration. Lindsay considers traffic flow, accessibility, attention, student needs, seating, materials, and how easily students can see and participate in instruction. Donell extends the conversation to helping older students recognize environmental distractions and advocate for learning conditions that help them succeed.5: Make room to celebrate.Preparing for a new school year is a lot of work. Lindsay's final priority is simple: intentionally do something enjoyable to mark the beginning of a new year. The hosts also discuss checking in and celebrating after the first week as a way to reflect on what went well, what was challenging, and what's ahead.

Ben Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair and author of the new book This Is the Plan joins the Chuck Toddcast to argue that Democrats keep making the same category error: they keep winning change elections and then failing to deliver change, because they're trying to fix policy without first fixing the system that determines who gets to make policy. Wikler's framing is memorable and a little cheeky — you have to win the ring of power and then cast it into Mount Doom — but his point is serious. When the right wins power, it immediately restructures the system to entrench itself; Democrats win and then govern as though the rules are fixed. His plan runs through the state level, where free and fair elections are actually secured, and demands ending the filibuster and reforming the Supreme Court, including term limits for justices, because campaign finance reform is impossible without a Court willing to allow it. Wikler argues America is in the greatest period of political instability in its history, that inequality now exceeds the Gilded Age, that gerrymandering has left millions of people without a meaningful vote, and that both party bases increasingly want to fight more than they want to win — while swing and non-voters have simply given up on the system itself. He rejects the tired rebuilders-versus-renovators binary: FDR's Social Security pitch was a huge swing, incrementalism was the only path to Obamacare, and the actual art of politics is starting from values and vision and then figuring out what can pass. The conversation gets specific about Wisconsin and about trust. Wikler pushes back on the idea that Francesca Hong is too "Madison" for a statewide race, notes she's spent years traveling and listening across the state, and calls Tom Tiffany an election denier who is genuinely beatable in a cycle where affordability is the central issue. He and Chuck work through the puzzle of why Tony Evers' calm, steady approach succeeded where Biden's didn't — Evers came out forcefully against Dobbs, and, more fundamentally, you have to convince a majority of voters that government can actually work, which means doing what you said you'd do and then relentlessly telling people you did it. Wikler points to pandemic relief as the cautionary tale: those programs dramatically improved life for lower-income voters, the child tax credit cut child poverty in half, and then it all expired and Democrats got punished for the loss rather than credited for the gain — with an extension that had bipartisan support dying anyway, because the filibuster exists largely to deprive the other side of a win. He credits Ken Martin for investing in state parties, argues Democrats don't need a 50-state strategy so much as fifty different state strategies since the coalition looks different everywhere, and concedes that Trump has been the most successful Republican of this era, spawning an army of mini-mes modeling themselves on him. And yes, Chuck asks the obvious question — why not run for Senate yourself? Thanks to the sponsors of The Chuck ToddCast: Upgrade your everyday.

Chuck Todd unpacks David Crowley's astonishing photo-finish win over Francesca Hong in Wisconsin — a race Crowley dropped out of, re-entered with Tony Evers' backing, and then won by roughly 3,200 votes — and argues national Democrats are far more relieved than they'll ever admit. Had Hong won, she'd have become a face of the party while being forced to spend the fall answering for past statements about defunding police, abolishing prisons, and canceling Thanksgiving rather than talking about the economy, handing Republicans an absurdly easy story to tell. Chuck credits Tony Evers for refusing to fence-sit and mounting what amounted to an emergency rescue operation, while noting Crowley isn't remotely "establishment" — he came from genuinely modest roots and ran a campaign largely defined by what he wasn't. Chuck identifies Hong's central unforced error as nationalizing her race in the closing weeks, a fundraising-driven instinct in an era where media appearances increasingly function as fundraising appeals, forgetting that the national online audience and the local electorate are not the same people. Mamdani stayed disciplined and won; Hong drifted into boutique cultural debates and lost. But Chuck cautions against reading this as a repudiation of the left: Peggy Flanagan won in Minnesota, progressives are doing better this cycle than they have in years, and the 2027 House will be younger and slightly further left. The real structural lesson is that progressives struggle in higher-turnout and open primaries, still face a persistent obstacle with African American primary voters, and — most tellingly — keep getting rejected by the working-class voters they orient their entire message toward, which is more than a messaging glitch. Abdul El-Sayed emerges a quiet winner here, now much harder to lump in with the DSA, and Chuck notes that neither AOC nor Bernie ever endorsed Hong. The rest of the monologue is a run of results that keep pointing the same direction. Trump-endorsed candidates keep losing primaries: Mike Lindell was trounced in Minnesota, Darline Graham didn't clear a third of the vote and is no lock in her runoff, and Chuck's read is that Trump's grip is measurably slipping. Fourteen-term Congressman John Larson lost his primary, part of the highest incumbent-loss rate since 1970 — in a genuine wave, Chuck says, the House could see north of 25% turnover. On Iran, he echoes Chris Christie's warning that this war turns Trump into Jimmy Carter: Iran has issued a list of demands that amounts to an "F you" ransom note, is openly watching the American election calendar and timing its moves accordingly, and — just as in 1980 — the humiliation itself is the point. All of it, Chuck notes, was Trump's own choice. He closes somewhere unexpected: giving Mark Zuckerberg genuine credit. In his 6,500-word manifesto, Zuckerberg argued that the real danger of AI is the concentration of power, writing that hoping an absolute power will benevolently provide for humanity has historically never ended well — and committing Meta to a review process before models go public. Chuck notes the argument is being made by a deeply self-interested party and that the important parts got buried in what was really a debate with Sam Altman, but he singles out one thing worth emulating: Meta funneling data center tax revenue back into teacher bonuses and job training. Communities hosting this infrastructure have to win too, and he hopes more tech CEOs adopt that philosophy. Then, Ben Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair and author of the new book This Is the Plan joins the Chuck Toddcast to argue that Democrats keep making the same category error: they keep winning change elections and then failing to deliver change, because they're trying to fix policy without first fixing the system that determines who gets to make policy.

Finally, Chuck reveals his ToddCast Top 5 list of biggest non-presidential primary upsets, which David Crowley’s win taking the top spot.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Have you been hiring people and growing your team without a real plan, only to find yourself with a bigger payroll and a business that still runs through you? Today's featured guest and his partner started out as graphic designers doing packaging work and then pivoted to web when the real estate crash wiped out their client base overnight. After years of taking on everything, they're still figuring out how to build the right team underneath them. He walks through what it looked like to grow to 25 people without a plan, how the co-founder dynamic actually works after two decades, and why he's found that, in a partnership, the disagreements are actually the thing keeping the business alive. Victor Huynh is the co-founder of Ready Artwork, a website-first industrial B2B digital marketing agency. He and his business partner Emily met in graphic design school and started freelancing together, with Victor handling sales and Emily anchoring production. Over 22 years, they pivoted from packaging design to web, grew to 25 people at peak, scaled back down, and have since committed fully to the industrial B2B niche. In this episode, we'll discuss: Learning that clarity outperforms craft in sales The cost of growing without a plan Still dealing with imposter syndrome?

The Black and White Sign That Rewrote Their Positioning Victor describes the Asian expo as a pivotal moment in his agency's story and one where he and his partner learned what clarity actually does in a sales situation. Day one at the trade show was a day of fancy brochures, a computer with carousels running, and exactly zero sales. Nobody knew what the agency did, and Victor grew frustrated as he listened to people walk past saying they thought the booth was selling colored pencils. On day two, Emily did not come back. Victor taped a black and white letter-sized sheet of paper in the corner of the table that said "website design" in Chinese and sold five websites. The lesson is that clarity outperforms craft in every sales environment. The brochures were beautiful. The carousels were impressive. Neither of those things told a prospective client what the agency did or why they should stop walking. A simple, specific statement of what you offer is not a failure of presentation. It is the presentation. Growing to 25 People Without a Plan and What It Cost After the trade show success, Victor's agency grew fast. The strategy, if it can be called that, was reactive: someone needed something, they hired for it. E-commerce, lead gen, social media: they said yes to all of it because the projects were coming in and the team needed to grow to fulfill them. At 25 people, Victor describes feeling like they were selling a specific number of projects every month just to make payroll, and the agency had become something neither of them had designed. The peak headcount created a structure where Victor never fully stepped out of sales. He had a sales team, but it functioned more like a support team. The direction that would have made the department self-sustaining was not there, and without it the team defaulted to managing up. When the direction is not clear and the founder is always available to fill the gap, the team learns to route everything upward rather than developing the capability to own outcomes independently. What a 22-Year Co-Founder Partnership Actually Requires In their agency partner dynamic, Victor's partner Emily is the efficient executor. She makes sure things get done quickly, decisions get made, and production hums. He is the visionary and the sales front, in charge of new ideas, new opportunities, and new directions. The gas and the brake. Those complementary traits are also the source of real friction. Victor gets impatient when things do not move fast enough. Emily resists new directions until someone answers who is going to do the work. What keeps the partnership functional is the willingness to have the hard conversation rather than let resentment build. Partnerships where disagreement goes unspoken long enough become toxic. Two decades in, he and Emily still go at it. The difference is that they work through it instead of around it. For solo founders, that sounding board does not exist inside the business, which is one of the clearest arguments for finding a peer room where the same kind of honest conversation can happen without the stakes of a co-founder relationship. Imposter Syndrome Does Not Disappear With Experience Victor names imposter syndrome as one of the things he still works on 22 years in. Most agency owners do. You might feel it as you walk up on stage for a talk and wonder for a second if you should really be there. What we should all learn is that the feeling is not evidence of being unqualified. It is evidence of caring about doing the thing well. What imposter syndrome and delegation have in common is that both require the same underlying move: trusting that the outcome will be acceptable even when you are not the one controlling every detail. The practical principle that runs through this entire conversation is that agency owners should remove the things they should not be doing, one at a time, and do it before it feels urgent to. Victor's efficiency instinct is the same instinct that eventually produces real structural freedom. It does not come from working harder inside the current setup, but from spending the hour building the system that removes the five-minute task permanently.

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Andrew talks about how Jesus' miracles in John are like road signs pointing beyond themselves to reveal Jesus' true identity, challenging us to trust and surrender to him rather than just being impressed by what he can do. He urges us to trust Jesus even without seeing the outcome, warns that miracles alone don't produce real faith, and reminds us it's possible to understand Jesus' claims yet still refuse to surrender. The invitation is to move beyond using Jesus for our desires and instead honor him as Lord, reflecting honestly on what might hold us back from true trust.   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49645788   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church/thcaxnb72b66f3   ☞ NEXT STEPS

What if real mental strength isn't about pushing through—but knowing when you no longer have to? So many women become the person everyone depends on. They lead at work, care for their families, keep everything running, and somehow continue smiling while quietly carrying more than anyone realizes. In this deeply validating conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with psychotherapist, bestselling author, and mental strength expert Amy Morin to redefine what it truly means to be mentally strong. Drawing from her own profound experiences of losing both her mother and her husband unexpectedly, Amy shares how resilience isn't built by suppressing emotions or pretending everything is okay. Instead, it's developed through learning how to manage our thoughts, regulate our emotions, and take intentional actions that move us forward, even during life's hardest seasons. Together, they discuss why high-functioning women are especially vulnerable to burnout, how perfectionism and the inner critic keep us stuck, why "good enough" is often exactly what our families need, and how small daily resets can dramatically improve emotional resilience. Amy also shares practical tools for interrupting rumination, quieting negative self-talk, building self-compassion, reconnecting with your values, and creating simple habits that strengthen your mental health over time. If you've been holding everything together for everyone else while quietly wondering how much longer you can keep going, this conversation is the reminder that true strength isn't about carrying more. It's about knowing when it's safe to put some of it down. AMY MORIN Amy Morin is a licensed psychotherapist, bestselling author, keynote speaker, and host of the Mentally Stronger podcast. She is one of the world's leading experts on mental strength, and her TEDx Talk has been viewed millions of times. Her books, including 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do and The Mental Strength Playbook, have been translated into more than 50 languages. Through her work, Amy helps people build resilience, manage emotions, and develop healthier habits for navigating life's biggest challenges. IN THIS EPISODE What mental strength really is—and what it isn't Why high-functioning women are especially vulnerable to burnout How to quiet your inner critic with self-compassion Practical ways to interrupt rumination and negative thought loops Why your values should guide your decisions, not your to-do list The truth about mom guilt and "good enough" parenting Simple daily resets that strengthen emotional resilience Practical tools to build mental strength one small step at a time QUOTES“Real strength is being able to experience your emotions and express them.” “You don't have to believe everything you think.” “Being the strong one doesn't mean carrying everything by yourself.” “Sometimes mental strength is about what you don't do.” RESOURCES MENTIONEDUse code DRMARIZA and get 10% off on your Womeness Order The Mental Strength Playbook by Amy Morin Amy Morin Website Amy Morin Instagram Amy Morin on X Amy Morin Spotify Podcast Amy Moring Apple Podcast RELATED EPISODES  764: Why Your Nervous System Feels Dysregulated (Even When You're Doing Everything Right) with Roseann Capanna-Hodge 760: The Mindset Shift That Helps You Stop Feeling Stuck with Dr. Rachel Goldman 758: Why Your Body Can't Heal Until It Feels Safe: The Nervous System Shift That Changes Everything with Dr. Dave Rabin 754: How to Find Joy When Life Doesn't Go According to Plan with Amberly Lago

Joe McConaughy was a college miler who had never raced anything longer than a mile when he Googled "run the Pacific Crest Trail" at 22 years old. 53 days and 2,600 miles later, he held the speed record.   Joe De Sena sits down with Joe, a trail runner, coach, race director, and new dad, to break down what actually happens to your body and mind past day 40 of a multi-day speed record, why he spent the final 15 days running on a peg leg after his ankle lost function, and the hallucination at the top of Mount Whitney where an imaginary man named Andre offered to take his watch and finish the record for him.   They cover the 50-to-90-percent grind zone where every race is won or lost, how an invisible competitor on a GPS tracker squeezed a stronger finish out of McConaughy than any training block ever could, and why he calls ultra running a silly, selfish sport.   Things You Will Learn: Why the middle of every race, from a 5K to a 2,600-mile record attempt, is where performance is decided. Why a D1 college miler with zero ultra experience set a 2,600-mile speed record at 22 and what broke along the way. The differences among short, medium, and long multi-day efforts, and how sleep strategy changes for each. Tools & Frameworks Covered: The 50–90% Grind Zone: Between halfway and 90% of any race distance, you will believe it is impossible or that it will never end. Expect it. Plan for it. Push through it. Internal vs. External Activation" Ninety percent of an ultra is you against yourself. The remaining 10% can unlock performance you cannot access alone. Build external pressure into your race plan. Miles Over Smiles / Smiles Over Miles: The grind is real. The suffering is real. But if the process does not fill your cup on the other side, you will not keep showing up long enough to get good.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up.

Since then, he has set the John Muir Trail (JMT) fastest known time in 70 hours, raced the Cocodona 250, and competed at the front of elite 100-mile fields across the country.

My new book, Own Or Be Owned, is all about building a business so good it doesn't need you. More profit, less pain. It's out September 18, grab your ticket to the launch event here: https://contrarianthinking.biz/oobo_bigdeal - cs You've been visualizing success. Watching the vision board. Repeating the affirmations. Trusting the universe to deliver. Here's the truth: the more vividly you fantasize about success, the worse you perform. And the science proves it. The Secret sold 30 million copies by promising that if you visualize wealth hard enough, the universe will deliver it. But two decades of research shows the opposite. NYU psychologists tracked college graduates and found that students who spent the most time in positive fantasies about their dream jobs sent out fewer applications, got fewer offers, and earned lower salaries two years later. Your brain books the fantasy as a partial payment on the real thing, giving you the reward before you've done the work. Manifestation isn't fuel. It's anesthesia. This episode breaks down the exact frameworks elite builders use instead, why Buddhist monks sit with decaying bodies to rehearse death, and the three anti-manifestation moves that turn goals into reality. From the Stoic practice of premeditation of evils to the WHOOP method that doubles your odds of success, you'll learn why imagining failure makes you stronger and how to engineer systems that make your obituary impossible. In this episode, you'll learn: Why NYU research proves that positive fantasies kill performance and how students who visualized success earned 24 pounds less in weight loss studies and lower salaries than peers who confronted reality The five step anti-manifestation practice: write your business obituary, name what caused the death, run the survival check, extract the system, and put it on the calendar quarterly The Stockdale Paradox: why optimists died in Vietnam POW camps and how brutal faith in the destination plus brutal honesty about the path is what separates winners from wishful thinkers Why announcing goals out loud makes you quit 33% faster and how premature applause becomes a paycheck your brain cashes before the work exists The WHOOP framework: Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan, and how this method doubles your odds of hitting goals by naming the exact moment resistance shows up and engineering the if-then response in advance And one more thing for the business owners: stop making million dollar decisions alone!

As Democrats struggle to revive their party, democratic strategist Ben Wikler has advice to share. Wikler was chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin from 2019-2025. And the key, he says, is to focus on the whole system rather than one candidate. He makes this argument in a new book called This Is the Plan. He spoke with NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer about how he believes Democrats can “un-rig” the system and regain political power at the national level.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

Do Christians have a guardian angel individually assigned to watch over them, or is that more folklore than Scripture? Pastor Ryan Flint takes us Beyond the Notes from Sunday's study in Matthew 18, chasing a question the sermon intentionally set aside. He covers what Scripture confidently says about angels, who they are, what they do, and the guardrails for how believers should and should not think about them, working through Matthew 18:10, Hebrews 1:14, and Acts 12. Scripture never guarantees each believer a personally assigned angel, but it says far more about God's care for His people than that single question. Whether you're curious about angels or just want a clearer view of how much your Father sees and protects you, this episode gives you a steady, biblical answer.

Devin Brown is a Minneapolis-based paddler and founder of Sovereign Waters, an emerging organisation focused on connection, access, and purpose through time spent on the water. In 2024, Devin set out on an ambitious source-to-sea journey along the Mississippi River, paddling 1,025 miles before high water forced an early end to the expedition. What remained was not failure, but a powerful experience of resilience, learning, and deep connection to the river and herself. Her journey into paddling began long before that expedition, rooted in childhood summer camps, early experiences on the water, and a growing understanding of how time in nature supports her mental health. Over the years, she developed her skills step by step, eventually building the confidence to attempt one of North America's great river journeys. In this episode, Devin shares the realities of endurance paddling, from long days in the rain and logistical challenges on the Mississippi to moments of fear, uncertainty, and unexpected support from "river angels" along the way. She also opens up about feeling like one of the only women on the water, and why creating more inclusive access to paddling has become central to her mission. We explore the founding of Sovereign Waters, her vision for helping more people connect with rivers in ways that feel safe and empowering, and why building community around water is essential for both wellbeing and environmental connection. Listen to this episode to hear what it really takes to learn endurance one stroke at a time, why connection to rivers can be life-changing, and how one woman is working to bring more people—especially women—into the world of paddling and wild water. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

“The way the law is working — the Workday case is exhibit A here — is that vendors are going to be on the hook if their systems are producing biased outcomes. Period.”— Marc WeinsteinEpisode OverviewIn this episode I'm joined by Marc Weinstein, an attorney with 27+ years of practice focused on organizations that use tests to make high-stakes decisions about people — licensure, certification, admissions, and employment selection. His work centers on the legal rights of people impacted by AI systems and the organizations that use them.The legal ground under AI hiring is moving fast. In the past few months a state AI law got sued into a rewrite, a court handed down a ruling that shields bias audit data from view, and a new lawsuit opened a line of attack nobody was watching. If you buy, sell, or use AI hiring tools, this episode helps you stay on top of the shifting sands.Topics Discussed & Key Insights1. First, how to roll: governance before headlines.Marc's advice starts above the regulations. Your own governance is the key to successful risk mitigation. Get this part right and the rest gets much easier.* Before you track any law, ask why you want to use AI in the first place. If you have good answers, then ask how* Set principles for your organization — not for the whole world, for your organization. Let them drive your use cases, your vendor selection, and your evaluation criteria* Operate by them for real. A policy that lives on paper is worth nothing* Do this and you're already in compliance with most of the laws that could touch you. Everything below is what's shifting underneath that foundation2. Vendor liability is shifting fast — get ready now.For a long time, vendors selling hiring tools got a pass. How the customer used the tool was the customer's problem. That arrangement is breaking down.* In Mobley v. Workday, the court is letting claims proceed on the theory that the platform acts as an agent of its employer customers — which puts the same federal anti-discrimination laws that apply to employers on the platform* Plaintiffs go where the deep pockets are. Mega vendors like Workday and 8fold are the deep pockets* Employers are still independently on the hook. Vendor liability adds to yours, it doesn't replace it* Newer legislation points the same direction, and California's new regulations make bias testing itself evidence in court — more on that below* Since we recorded: the court refused to dismiss most of the remaining claims against Workday. The case keeps moving, and the core theory keeps surviving3. Bias audit data can be withheld — and that says a lot.A discovery ruling in the Workday case protected the company's bias testing data from the plaintiffs. Worth sitting with what that means.* The court held the data was privileged because lawyers curated it and the testing was done to provide legal advice — not for business use* Publicly advertising that you conduct bias testing did not waive the privilege* So the people alleging harm from the system may never see the data that would show whether the system harmed them* The bigger question: if the most important evidence about how these tools perform can be shielded, what does accountability actually look like? Proof may have to come from other directions4. There are new ways to hold these tools accountable.The Eightfold case shows creative lawyering finding routes into AI hiring that didn't exist a year ago.* The claim is built on the Fair Credit Reporting Act and privacy law — the argument is that AI-generated candidate scores are consumer reports, compiled without the required disclosures and consent* These theories don't require proving discrimination as a legal element, which makes them easier cases to bring* The target hasn't changed. It's still about how these tools treat people. There are just more ways to get there now5. Colorado is the cautionary tale: get aggressive, get crushed.Colorado passed the most rigorous state AI law in the country — mandatory risk management, impact assessments, a real duty of care. Then it got taken apart.* xAI sued to block the law. The DOJ intervened on xAI's side — the first time the federal government moved to invalidate a state AI law* The legislature rewrote the law under pressure. The replacement is a notice-and-transparency framework, delayed to January 2027* The lesson for everyone else: states that regulate AI aggressively are going to get sued by the federal government and the private sector. Plan around that reality6. Meanwhile, California quietly became the strictest.While everyone watched Colorado, California put real requirements on the books — and nobody has sued to stop them.* Under the FEHA regulations, conducting a documented bias test supports an employer's defense in discrimination litigation. Not conducting one supports the plaintiff. Records must be kept four years* The privacy agency's automated decision-making rules take effect January 2027: pre-use notice to applicants and employees, opt-out rights, and the right to demand how a system reached a decision about you* That last one matters. Can anyone actually explain how a frontier AI model reached its decision? For most of these tools, the honest answer is noFinal TakeawayThe laws will keep shifting. Colorado got rewritten, California's deadlines are coming, and the courts are redrawing vendor liability case by case. You can't chase all of it. Build the governance foundation, make vendors show you their evidence — your data, not just their study — and treat every recommendation a machine makes as the decision it really is. Good governance gets you more than 90% of the way there, as long as it's not just lip service. This is a public episode.

Are you using every method available to spread the gospel? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Matthew 28 and Mark 16 from the KJV to remind us that God's command to go into all the world has never changed — but the methods we use have expanded far beyond anything the early church could have imagined.You might be asking: Does God only use preachers and missionaries to spread the gospel? What if I am unable to travel or go in person? Can something as simple as a text message or a phone call really be part of God's plan? Am I fulfilling my responsibility as a believer?In this devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster walks through three practical, Bible-rooted methods every Christian can use right where they are:- Prayer — asking God to send laborers into the harvest (Matthew 9:36-38)- Giving — supporting the spread of the gospel according to your ability (Acts 11:27-30)- Going — being willing and available when God callsThis is part of the ongoing series on God's plan to evangelize the world. Whether you are bedridden, busy, or halfway around the world, there is a method for you.If this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with a friend, and subscribe so you never miss a message.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:

Here's the link to my 2.0 calendar planning system…  https://howtobeawesomeateverything.com/pages/2-0weeklyhabitsandplanningsystem **The perfect pairing to use with AI** I explain how and why towards the end of this episode!      I think most people are using AI way too small.   They're asking it to rewrite an email, make a grocery list, or answer a random question… which is fine. But that's like buying a Ferrari and using it to drive to the mailbox. The real opportunity is to use AI to remove friction from your life. To make decisions faster. To stop carrying 47 unfinished thoughts around in your head. To get healthier, make more money, organize your life, solve problems faster, and actually create more space for the things you care about.   Today I want to show you how to start thinking differently about AI altogether. How to use it almost like an extension of your brain… a personal assistant, strategist, researcher, coach, planner, and sounding board that is available the second you have a problem to solve.   Because I really believe the people who learn how to use AI well right now are going to have an insane advantage. Not because they're smarter or working harder… but because they're going to spend so much less time stuck in the figuring-it-out phase.    And that means more time spent in forward motion, less of the mundane and more time living… which is always the goal.   IDEAS!!  TURN YOUR REFRIGERATOR INTO A PERSONAL CHEF Take a picture of what you have and say: "I want a high-protein dinner using these ingredients. Under 30 minutes, at least 40 grams of protein, no seed oils, kid-friendly, and minimal dishes." Now AI isn't giving you a random recipe. It's solving your actual dinner problem. USE BOOKS FOR EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED Instead of just asking for a book summary, make it relevant to your life. "Teach me the parenting principles from Good Inside using examples with an eight-year-old." "Explain the identity-based habits concept from Atomic Habits and tell me how to use it for my current goal." You can learn exactly what you need, exactly when you need it. USE AI AS YOUR TRAVEL CONCIERGE Give it your destination, hotel, kids' ages, budget, preferences, and schedule. Then ask it to: • Build the itinerary • Avoid tourist traps • Find great restaurants • Plan rainy-day backups • Organize everything geographically • Tell you what to pack • Compare hotel options • Decide whether upgrades are worth it It can save hours of research. TREAT IT LIKE A PERSONAL ASSISTANT If something has been sitting on your list because it requires research or decision-making… hand it over. "I'm comparing these three gyms." "I need a new mattress." "I'm choosing between schools." "I need the perfect birthday gift." Tell AI your priorities and let it compare the options. Don't just ask: "Answer this question." Ask: "Help me solve this entire problem." HIRE YOURSELF A PERSONAL TRAINER Say: "Act as my personal trainer. Ask me everything you need before building my program." Give it your goals, schedule, equipment, injuries, current fitness level, and nutrition goals. Then let it create a plan around your actual life. And when life changes: "I only have 25 minutes today. Modify my workout." LET AI ORGANIZE YOUR HOUSE Take a picture of your pantry, closet, garage, or playroom. Then ask: "Pretend you're a professional organizer. Tell me what to donate, relocate, buy, and exactly what order to tackle this in." This is especially helpful when you feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start. USE AI AS A THINKING PARTNER Sometimes you don't need more information. You need perspective. Dump the entire situation into ChatGPT. Then ask: "What am I not seeing?" "What pattern do you notice?" "If you were incredibly direct with me, what would you tell me?" Sometimes getting everything out of your head and organized is enough to create clarity. BUILD YOUR DREAM LIFE BACKWARDS Describe your current life. Then describe the life you want. Example: "I'm overwhelmed, my house is cluttered, I don't have enough energy, and I always feel behind." Versus: "My home feels calm, I feel strong, I'm organized, I have financial confidence, and my days feel intentional." Then ask: "Build me the smallest daily and weekly habits that would move me from Version A to Version B." Now AI becomes a life-design tool. CREATE A DEFAULT HEALTHY DAY Stop making 100 tiny decisions every day. Give AI your schedule and priorities. "I wake up at 5:30, kids leave at 7:45, I work from 8 to 1, I want 10,000 steps, 130 grams of protein, a workout, time outside, and bed by 9:30. Build me the most efficient version of my day." Now you have a default operating system instead of reinventing your schedule every morning. AUDIT YOUR TIME + MONEY Give AI your spending and say: "I want to free up $2,000 a month without dramatically changing our lifestyle. Show me where you would find it." Give AI your weekly calendar and say: "My priorities are health, family, income-producing work, and margin. Tell me what should be eliminated, delegated, batched, or moved." Sometimes the problem isn't that you need more time or money. You need to use what you already have better. THE BIG IDEA The people getting the best results from AI aren't necessarily asking better questions. They're giving better context. Don't ask: "What's a healthy dinner?" Ask: "I have 25 minutes, two hungry kids, chicken, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and Greek yogurt. I want something high-protein, kid-friendly, no seed oils, and minimal cleanup." The better you brief AI… The better it performs.   ** Last thoughts ** Imagine carrying around a world-class assistant everywhere you go. Someone who can organize, research, teach, plan, compare, coach, and help you think through almost anything. The goal isn't to think less. The goal is to spend less time stuck. Less time overwhelmed. Less time researching. And more time executing, creating, taking care of yourself, being with your people, and actually living your life. The next time you think: "I need to figure this out…" Try asking: "How could AI help me figure this out faster?"   This is the greatest time to ever be alive and AI can help your life be more efficient and filled with joy if you know how to use it!!

Matthew: The King Has Come "Every Sheep Matters" (Matthew 18:10-14) When someone drifts away from church, it can be easy to assume they made their choice and move on. Matthew 18:10-14 shows a very different heart. Ryan Flint, McGregor's Worship Pastor, walks through the parable of the shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to go after the one sheep that wandered, and shows that this story is not about a stranger far from God but about a believer who has begun to drift. Along the way he draws out three simple truths: God values every believer, God pursues every wandering believer, and God calls His people to share that same restoring heart. You will walk away reminded that Jesus pursued you when you were wandering, and challenged to notice the empty seat and reach out to the one who is missing.

Très vite, les gendarmes font le lien avec Charlotte Berson, une vieille dame disparue quelques semaines plus tôt.

Can you love the Jewish people and Judaism while rejecting Israel and Zionism? And what does the Bible actually say about Zion? In this powerful and timely episode of The Land of Israel Guys Podcast, we take on the increasingly controversial word “Zionism” and ask what it really means from a biblical perspective. As anti-Israel rhetoric grows louder in America and around the world, even some people who call themselves “pro-Israel” are becoming uncomfortable with the word. But Zionism isn't simply a modern political movement—it is connected to Zion, Jerusalem, the return of the Jewish people to their ancestral homeland, and the biblical promises of redemption. We also examine the growing political battle over Israel in America, the rise of Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, anti-Israel activism, the debate over “settler violence,” and the way Judea and Samaria are portrayed in the media. Most importantly, we return to the Bible and ask: What is God doing in Israel right now? Why does Zion matter? And could the battle over Israel ultimately be a battle over the fulfillment of biblical prophecy? ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 God Is Zealous for Zion 05:05 Jerusalem and God's Plan for Redemption 17:35 Why Has “Zionism” Become a Trigger Word? 22:03 God Loves Zion — What Does the Bible Say? 27:12 The Political Battle Over Israel 33:31 Why Is Israel Hated?

Wisconsin was written off by many Democrats after the GOP gained total control over the state's executive, judicial, and legislative branches. For a while, the state—once known for clean government and transparency—became a national symbol of a highly gerrymandered state. But the Democrats figured out how to win, and they slowly and methodically rebuilt their power, regaining the governor's office, cutting into legislative majorities, and are now on a run of consecutive landslide election victories for Democratic-leaning state supreme court justices, who are in the majority.How did it happen? Get an inside look when Ben Wikler visits Commonwealth Club World Affairs. Wikler, who has been hailed as the “preeminent state party chair” by Nancy Pelosi, led Wisconsin Democrats through a series of hold-your-breath fights against right-wingers that resulted, against the odds, in the unrigging of the political system of the most divided state in the nation. Now, he draws on decades of experience in everything from school-board races to presidential elections to bring people inside the hidden web of power that shapes their lives. At every step, he shows what individuals and small groups can do to help build a future where democracy thrives and our country works for everyone. Join us as he draws on that experience and his new book This Is the Plan, an idealistic-yet-practical guide to turning the present crisis into a better future.

As a budding crochet designer, Lir Shilton ran into obstacles and annoyances that many beginning crafters face. But instead of learning to live with them, she and her partner decided to make a platform that offers a different approach. Lir loved to crochet, and she especially loved creating designs to share with other makers. But crochet patterns vary significantly depending where you are in the world—and not just in translating centimeters to inches. Was that a British double crochet or an American double crochet? Did the directions mean to work the decreases 5 times or 5 more times? Which of the 9 sizes did this direction apply to? What color was A? As Lir described her frustrations to her husband, Saar Oron, he asked the simple, obvious question: “Why is it like this?” With a background in building online communities, he wondered why there wasn't an app for designers to present patterns and for crafters to consume them in a more user-friendly way. Sometimes it takes a newcomer to ask the question everyone else has stopped asking. Along with a developer, the pair formed Ribblr, an online community and pattern platform that supports projects in knitting, crochet, and sewing. Patterns on Ribblr allow you to hide unused sizes, cross off completed rows, change colors, and change measurements and instructions to your preferred regional settings. Users can join groups in the site's forums for support and track projects there. Although the company is based on creativity through technology, they draw one line firmly: the projects on Ribblr must be human-created, not made with AI technology. (Lir even wrote a song about it!) For the month of August 2026, Long Thread Media and Ribblr are hosting a Market Day Challenge: Create a booth presenting your handmade crafts (at an actual crafts market or an imagined setup), submit a journal entry with a photo of your booth, and enter for a chance to win 50 Gems that you can use to purchase patterns on Ribblr.
