Lionel, créateur du podcast Impolyglot, partage ses meilleurs conseils. Dans cet épisode, Hugo reçoit Lionel du podcast Impolyglot. Contrairement aux autres polyglottes, son objectif n'est pas d'apprendre le plus de langues possibles mais d'en maîtriser trois : le français, l'anglais et l'espagnol. Il a donc testé de nombreuses techniques pour surmonter les obstacles que tous les apprenants rencontrent avant d'atteindre un niveau avancé. Comment s'organiser quand on a un travail et une famille ? Faut-il utiliser des flashcards ? Comment créer des habitudes durables ? Et surtout, comment continuer à progresser quand on a l'impression de tourner en rond ?

I'm opening the vault on plateaus—the ones that make you question your gifts, your timing, your damn sanity. I take you back to my network marketing days where momentum slipped into maintenance, self-doubt crept in, and “busy work” tried to cosplay as purpose. This episode is a recalibration ritual: how I move from stuck to stirred, why helping a few humans deeply beats chasing the many shallowly, and the four-part pursuit I use to flip resistance into velocity. Think feminine velocity: less grind, more glide; success that feels like oxygen, not armor.   Inside this Episode: The great lie of “plateaus” When doubt gets loud Helping women (one potent human at a time) The four-part pursuit I swear by Ending unnecessary suffering Plateaus aren't proof you've peaked; they're proof your system is asking for a cleaner signal. When you stop white-knuckling “more” and start pursuing what's alive, you enter feminine velocity—results that feel inevitable, not exhausting. Let's go make it easier and bigger, at the same time.

Farming there has always been a test of human will. Yet a team of farmers from Shandong Province, in the eastern part of the country, crossed mountains and storms to help local villagers build greenhouses on the plateau.

On today's episode, I am sitting down solo to address one of the most common issues women face when losing weight: Knowing what to do, but struggling to do it. You know you shouldn't eat chips out of the bag and you know you shouldn't skip your workout… but that doesn't mean it's easy. Some days losing weight can feel like an emotional battle where you're fighting yourself at every turn.

Money can buy a lot, but can it buy happiness? This is a question that philosophers, economists, scientists and storytellers have puzzled over for some time; and if it can, then does more money make you even happier?  According to Prof Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, director at the University of Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre there is a definite link between money and happiness, especially at the bottom of the pay scale. So for example someone earning £20,000 who moved to £40,000 would experience a significant boost in happiness. However, to achieve that same happiness boost, you'd have to move from £40,000 to £80,000, then again £80,000 to £160,000. In order to get the same impact, you have to double each time. What about the ‘happiness Plateau' theory? Do happy people earn more money? Isn't there more to happiness than income? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

A classic happening: things start going really well.... then suddenly take a turn. You start seeing progress...then it stalls out. This is just the subconscious doing what it does best: KEEPING! US! SAFE! But we're not stuck at this level - it's just a matter of rewiring. I KNOW this episode will lead to major AHA! breakthroughs.  In this episode, we're diving deep into the boomerang effect (when progress snaps back) and its close cousin, The Plateau. I'll share exactly why this happens, the sneaky ways your subconscious creates delays “for your own safety,” and how to lovingly rewire those patterns so your wins stick. We cover: ✨ The 3 main ways your subconscious sabotages an uplevel  ✨ The metaphor of “altitude sickness” as the upleveling gets realllll ✨ The golden question that reveals your subconscious's real motive for slowing you down ✨ My own personal stories of perfectly-timed disasters that were actually protective mechanisms...as I see now of course LOL ✨ How to stabilize your growth so the next win stays, compounds, and feels safe to your system BONUS DREAMAWAY SESH: Boomerang Stabilizer | Thursday, August 14th at 7:00pm ET  When we start upleveling and hitting our strides, there's usually a littttlee sneaky voice in the back of our heads that starts to bring up some doubts. Or, we achieve a massive win and then feel like we lose it, hit a wall, or have another crisis arrive. This is VERY Upper Limit Problem coded. I like to think about it like a rubber band: when we are stretching into the up level, it feels like it becomes harder and harder to maintain the stretch beyond our comfort zones, so we ‘snap' back into place or boomerang. NO MORE! This sesh will be our ‘stabilizer', ensuring our nervous systems feel super safe as we stay consistent, succeed, and skyrocket.

Episode 2682 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss generations and trends in aging, what to do in addressing a plateau, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/addressing-a-plateau-episode-2682 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Trends in Aging After reminiscing about awkward things from the 1970s, they discuss healthy aging. (10:00) An article from a British newspaper discusses the difference in the rate of aging between generations. (18:00) Cutting out sugar can help you age better. (22:00) The mindset is improving about the idea of healthy aging. There are always things you can do to improve your health span. (22:00) Addressing a Plateau One of the most frequently asked questions Vinnie gets is about weight loss plateaus. (33:00) People will often loosen the reins a bit, but then struggle to return fully to NSNG®. For example, go ahead and have a bit of “life into living” when you travel; however, you need to be able to get back to NSNG® immediately, or you will reverse your progress. (34:00) The COVID years are no longer an excuse. It's been 5 years—snap out of it! (35:00) A true plateau means you are not losing weight or gaining weight. As long as you are not gaining, you should be okay. (36:15) Intermittent Fasting is being used as a weight loss hack, but many people overdo it and become undernourished. (39:15) There is a difference between using an eating window for the benefits of autophagy and going overboard and not fueling your body. For some people, overdoing the fasting can cause a rebound in weight. Don't try to serve too many kings—just stick to NSNG®, and your body will level out. What are some things you can do if you have hit a legitimate plateau? (43:00) There are some prominent carnivores in the health and fitness space that have reintroduced some carbs from fruit. (45:00) Be honest with yourself when you are analyzing what you eat and your goals. Vinnie's mother, Marie, joins the show on the phone. (49:30) Anna's sauces are in several stores.

Joel Smith speaks on 12 reasons why athletes and coaches may hit a plateau in their performance programs. These include: 1. Lack of stimulation in the training environment 2. Too much stimulation in the training environment 3. Not enough creativity or novelty 4. Lack of a clear plan 5. Too much weightlifting 6. Not enough weightlifting 7. Monotony from failing to wave training loads 8. A lack of representative play and exploration 9. Deficits in skill learning 10. Programs that feel too constricting 11. Athletes not feeling truly seen or heard 12.  Gaps in belief and motivation In this episode, we'll unpack these elements one by one, while also exploring practical methods coaches and athletes can use to break through these plateaus and unlock new levels of performance. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength. View more podcast episodes at the podcast homepage. (https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 1:10 – Lack of Stimulation in the Training Environment3:18 – Too Much Stimulation in the Training Environment6:00 – Not Enough Creativity or Novelty7:36 – Lack of a Clear Plan10:20 – Too Much Weightlifting12:12 – Not Enough Weightlifting13:44 – Monotony from Failing to Wave Training Loads16:00 – A Lack of Representative Play and Exploration18:25 – Deficits in Skill Learning20:47 – Programs That Feel Too Constricting23:00 – Athletes Not Feeling Truly Seen or Heard25:03 – Gaps in Belief and Motivation Actionable Takeaways Lack of Stimulation in the Training Environment – [1:10] Athletes disengage when training lacks challenge or relevance. Too many repetitive drills and static formats dull the nervous system and the mind. What to try: Use small-sided games or reactive drills to increase decision density. Rotate training environments or sensory constraints to create novelty. Avoid overly choreographed warmups—build something they have to solve. Too Much Stimulation in the Training Environment – [3:18] Overloading athletes with chaos, cues, or novelty can backfire. When there's too much going on, meaningful adaptation slows down. What to try: Balance open tasks with periods of focused repetition. Simplify instructions—set the environment, then observe. Know when to back off and give space for consolidation. Not Enough Creativity or Novelty – [6:00] Without moments of surprise or exploration, athletes stop learning. Creativity sparks engagement—and often, better movement solutions. What to try: Add odd objects, uneven surfaces, or unconventional constraints. Give athletes freedom within drills to explore variations. Don't aim for perfect reps—aim for meaningful reps. Lack of a Clear Plan – [7:36] Randomness without progression can feel chaotic. Athletes need to see where training is going—even if it's nonlinear. What to try: Cycle phases between creative exposure and focused refinement. Revisit key themes and skills, even in exploratory training. Share your intent—clarity builds trust. Too Much Weightlifting – [10:20] Lifting can become a crutch when it overshadows movement quality or reduces time for skill and game-speed work. What to try: Trim down barbell volume in favor of transfer-driven tasks. Use loaded movements that keep athletes grounded and aware. Ask: Is this lift enhancing or muting athleticism? Not Enough Weightlifting – [12:12] Some environments undervalue lifting altogether, leading to gaps in tissue tolerance and general strength. What to try: Use tempo and iso-based lifts to build coordination and robustness. Make lifting complementary, not competitive, with field work. Keep it simple—progressive resistance is still powerful when done well. Monotony from Failing to Wave Training Loads – [13:44]

In this episode of the FutureCraft GTM Podcast, hosts Ken Roden and Erin Mills reunite with returning favorite Liza Adams to discuss the current state of AI adoption in marketing teams. Liza shares insights on why organizations are still struggling with the same human change management challenges from a year ago, despite significant advances in AI technology. The conversation covers practical frameworks for AI implementation, the power of digital twins, and Liza's approach to building hybrid human-AI marketing teams. The episode features Liza's live demonstration in our new Gladiator segment, where she transforms a dense marketing report into an interactive Jeopardy game using Claude Artifacts. Unpacking AI's Human Challenge Liza returns with a reality check: while AI tools have dramatically improved, the fundamental challenge remains human adoption and change management. She reveals how one marketing team successfully built a 45-person organization with 25 humans and 20 AI teammates, starting with simple custom GPTs and evolving into sophisticated cross-functional workflows. The Digital Twin Strategy: Liza demonstrates how creating AI versions of yourself and key executives can improve preparation, challenge thinking, and overcome unconscious bias while providing a safe learning environment for teams. The 80% Rule for Practical Implementation: Why "good enough" AI outputs that achieve 80-85% accuracy can transform productivity when combined with human oversight, as demonstrated by real-world examples like translation and localization workflows. Prompt Strategy Over Prompt Engineering: Liza explains why following prompt frameworks isn't enough—you need strategic thinking about what questions to ask and how to challenge AI outputs for better results. 00:00 Introduction and Balance Quote 00:22 Welcome Back to FutureCraft 01:28 Introducing Liza Adams 03:58 The Unchanged AI Adoption Challenge 06:30 Building Teams of 45 (25 Humans, 20 AI) 09:06 Digital Twin Framework and Implementation 17:34 The 80% Rule and Real ROI Examples 25:31 Prompt Strategy vs Prompt Engineering 26:02 Measuring AI Impact and ROI 28:21 Handling Hallucinations and Quality Control 32:50 Gladiator Segment: Live Jeopardy Game Creation 40:00 The Future of Marketing Jobs 47:49 Why Balance Beats EQ as the Critical Skill 51:09 Rapid Fire Questions and Wrap-Up Edited Transcript: Introduction: The Balance Between AI and Human Skills As AI democratizes IQ, EQ becomes increasingly important. Critical thinking and empathy are important, but I believe as marketers, balance is actually more important. Host Updates: Leveraging AI Workflows Ken Roden shares his approach to building better AI prompts by having full conversations with ChatGPT, exporting them to Word documents, then using that content to create more comprehensive prompts. This method resulted in more thorough market analysis with fewer edits required. Erin Mills discusses implementing agentic workflows using n8n to connect different APIs and build systems where AI tools communicate with each other. The key insight: break workflows down into steps rather than having one agent handle multiple complex tasks. Guest Introduction: Liza Adams on AI Adoption Challenges Liza Adams, the AI MarketBlazer, returns to discuss the current state of AI adoption in marketing teams. Despite significant technological advances, organizations still struggle with the same human change management challenges from a year ago. The Core Problem: Change Management Over Technology The main issue isn't about AI tools or innovation - teams can't simply be given ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity and be expected to maximize their potential. Marketing teams are being handed tools while leaders expect employees to figure out implementation themselves. People need to see themselves in AI use cases that apply to their specific jobs. Joint learning sessions where teams share what works and what doesn't are essential. The focus has over-pivoted to "what's the right tool" when it should be on helping people understand, leverage, and make real impact with AI. The AI Adoption Plateau Many organizations face an AI adoption plateau where early adopters have already implemented AI, but a large group struggles with implementation. Companies attempting to "go fully agentic" or completely redo workflows in AI are taking on too much at once. Success Story: The 45-Person Hybrid Team Liza shares a case study of a marketing team with 45 members: 25 humans and 20 AI teammates that humans built, trained, and now manage. They started with simple custom GPTs, beginning with digital twins. Digital Twin Strategy for AI Implementation Digital twins are custom GPTs trained on frameworks, thinking patterns, publicly available content, and personality assessments like Myers-Briggs. These aren't designed to mimic humans but to learn about them and find blind spots, challenge thinking patterns, and overcome unconscious bias. For executive preparation, team members use digital twins of leadership to anticipate questions, identify gaps in presentations, and prepare responses before important meetings. The progression: Simple digital twins → Function-specific GPTs (pitch deck builders, content ideators, campaign analyzers) → Chained workflows across multiple departments (marketing, sales, customer success). Prompt Strategy vs. Prompt Engineering Following prompt frameworks (GRACE: Goals, Role, Action, Context, Examples) isn't enough if the underlying thinking is basic. AI magnifies existing thinking quality - good or bad. Example: Instead of asking "How do I reduce churn?" ask "Can you challenge my assumption that this is a churn problem? Could this data indicate an upsell opportunity instead?" This transforms churn problems into potential revenue opportunities through different strategic thinking. The 80% Rule for Practical AI Implementation AI outputs achieving 80-85% accuracy can transform productivity when combined with human oversight. Example: A team reduced translation and localization costs from tens of thousands of dollars monthly to $20/month using custom GPTs for eight languages, with human review for the final 15-20%. Measuring AI ROI: Three Strategic Approaches Align with Strategic Initiatives: Connect AI projects to existing company strategic initiatives that already have budgets, resources, and executive attention. Focus on Biggest Pain Points: Target areas where teams will invest resources to solve problems - excessive agency costs, overworked teams, or poor quality processes. Leverage Trailblazers: Identify curious team members already building AI solutions and scale their successful implementations. Handling AI Hallucinations and Quality Control AI models hallucinate 30-80% of the time when used as question-and-answer machines for factual queries. Hallucinations are less common with strategic questions, scenario analysis, and brainstorming. Prevention strategies: Limit conversation length and dataset size to avoid context window limitations Use multiple AI models to cross-check outputs Implement confidence checking: Ask AI to rate confidence levels (low/medium/high), explain assumptions, and identify what additional information would increase confidence Live Demo: Claude Artifacts for Interactive Content Liza demonstrates transforming the 2025 State of Marketing AI report into an interactive Jeopardy game using Claude Artifacts. The process involves uploading a PDF, providing specific prompts for game creation, and generating functional code without technical skills. This "vibe coding" approach allows users to describe desired outcomes and have AI build interactive tools, calculators, dashboards, and training materials. Future of Marketing Jobs and Skills Emerging roles: AI guides, workflow orchestrators, human-AI team managers Disappearing roles: Language editors, basic researchers, repetitive design tasks Transforming roles: Most existing positions adapting to include AI collaboration Critical skill for the future: Balance Innovation with ethics Automation with human touch Personalization with transparency Balance may be more important than emotional intelligence as AI democratizes cognitive capabilities. Key Takeaways The Gladiator segment demonstrates how dense research reports can become engaging, interactive content without engineering resources. Making AI implementation fun helps teams stay balanced and avoid overwhelm. Success comes from starting with tiny AI wins rather than comprehensive strategies, focusing on human change management over tool selection, and building systems that augment rather than replace human creativity. This version removes the conversational back-and-forth while preserving all the searchable content people would look for when researching AI implementation, digital twins, prompt strategy, change management, and practical AI use cases.

“Don't give up. Just keep moving forward.” - Alexia Haubert After making it to the top 1% of all Etsy sellers in the wedding category - the top 1%! - Lexie was on top of her game. Then came a global pandemic that shut down the wedding industry and Lexie's business.  Lexie had to pivot and struggled to grow her business for a long time before recently reaching a big milestone. In this episode, Lexie's story will inspire you to keep going as you work toward your business goals.  When the wedding industry slowly started coming back, Lexie introduced The Monogrammed Bride subscription box and started building her audience from scratch. She stayed consistent and continued to show up even though she saw very little in the way of results for a long time.  When Lexie and I first talked, after a disappointing launch, I was surprised to see she had done everything I teach. She was doing all the things and she was doing them well. But she wasn't seeing results. We brainstormed and strategized, and Lexie continued working hard.  And just recently - after seeing consistently steady growth for the last six months - Lexie hit her long-standing goal of 100 subscribers! So what did she do differently these past six months?    She built a community - giving her subscribers something to feel they were a part of.  She posted stories on Instagram - consistently.  She created engaging posts featuring pictures of subscribers and their boxes. She started going LIVE much more consistently and, when she did, started building an audience who showed up for her and engaged with her during the LIVEs.  She followed her subscribers back and engaged with their posts.  She did tons of short video, finding cracks of time while sitting in her car waiting to pick her kids up from practices.   She sent boxes to a small number of influencers from TikTok and Instagram - people with 1000-2000 followers who want to grow as influencers.  She ran Facebook Ads - and has gotten really dialed in which drives the cost per engagement way down. Lexie analyzes her Ads every week and makes changes as needed.  While we were talking, Lexie got subscriber #112! This growth in her business - this regular, recurring revenue - has lessened the financial stress Lexie has felt for the past couple of years. She is able to breathe and plan for even more subscribers as her business continues to grow.  Lexie's message for anyone who feels overwhelmed or discouraged by the challenges they're facing in building their business? Don't give up. Just keep moving forward.  Join me for this episode and get inspired by Lexie's determination to just keep going and never give up on her dream on her way to reaching and passing her goal of 100 subscribers.  Find and follow Lexie:  ⁠Crafty Lady Boutique on Instagram⁠ ⁠Crafty Lady Boutique on Facebook⁠  ⁠Crafty Lady Boutique Website⁠ Join me in all the places:  ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Launch Your Box with Sarah Website⁠  Are you ready for ⁠Launch Your Box⁠?

25 ans, le travail et moi. RFI est allé aux quatre coins de la planète pour sonder des jeunes nés en l'an 2000 sur leur rapport au travail, leurs espoirs et l'avenir de leur métier. Direction Abidjan, en Côte d'Ivoire : RFI a rencontré un jeune passionné de technologies, qui entend concilier écologie et économie. Et si les déchets avaient de la valeur ? C'est le pari qu'a fait Emmanuel Korekou, jeune développeur ivoirien de 25 ans, en imaginant Ecobin+, une poubelle connectée capable de faire du tri sélectif tout en récompensant les personnes qui participent à la collecte. Le concept est simple : grâce à des capteurs intégrés, la poubelle reconnaît automatiquement la nature des déchets – plastique, matière organique… – et ouvre le bac adapté au contenu. Connectée à une application mobile, Ecobin+, qui est doté d'un panneau solaire, permet aux utilisateurs de vendre les déchets collectés et ainsi de participer activement à l'économie circulaire. « L'idée, c'est de sensibiliser la population à la collecte et au recyclage, mais aussi de montrer que les ordures peuvent être une ressource », explique Emmanuel Korekou. De l'électronique à l'internet des objets Avant de se lancer dans ce projet, Emmanuel Korekou, qui « a grandi à Abidjan », évoluait dans le domaine de l'électronique. Désireux d'élargir ses compétences, il décide de se reconvertir et s'inscrit au Techlab d'Eranove Academy, un centre de formation spécialisé dans les technologies du futur basé dans le quartier du Plateau. C'est là qu'il se passionne pour l'internet des objets et le génie climatique, deux secteurs porteurs à l'heure de la transition écologique. Dans un espace de travail partagé flambant neuf, Emmanuel Korekou travaille aux côtés de jeunes développeurs et geeks ivoiriens. Ensemble, ils inventent, testent et rêvent de solutions technologiques adaptées aux réalités locales. Imaginer le numérique de demain Pour ce jeune entrepreneur, le futur du numérique s'écrit déjà. Interrogé sur ce que pourrait être son métier dans 25 ans, Emmanuel imagine un monde dans lequel l'ordinateur de bureau ne sera plus nécessaire. « L'ordinateur, on l'aura littéralement à portée de main. En se promenant en ville, on sera déjà en contact avec des machines intégrées partout autour de nous, un peu comme les smartphones aujourd'hui », confie-t-il. Et il n'est pas inquiet du développement de l'intelligence artificielle (IA). Au contraire : « Il ne faut pas en avoir peur. Les métiers ne vont pas disparaître, ils vont simplement évoluer. Un secrétaire, par exemple, pourra ajouter de nouvelles fonctions à son poste. On aura des développeurs spécialisés en intelligence artificielle, en scripts pour coder des IA, et bien d'autres. C'est une opportunité pour celles et ceux qui sauront s'adapter. » Croire en la créativité de la jeunesse ivoirienne Pour Emmanuel Korekou, l'entrepreneuriat technologique est l'un des moyens de répondre à la crise de l'emploi qui touche de nombreux jeunes en Côte d'Ivoire. « L'État ne peut pas tout faire. Il faut que chacun prenne les choses en main et crée son activité en fonction de ses compétences, estime-t-il le concepteur d'Ecobin+, en constatant que de plus en plus de jeunes se lancent dans l'univers des start-up et du numérique. Les choses bougent, et financièrement, des méthodes existent pour nous accompagner. Tout est réuni pour avancer. » Toujours avide de savoir, Emmanuel Korekou poursuit sa formation dans les domaines de la transition énergétique, du suivi et de l'évaluation de projets de développement et de machine learning (apprentissage automatique).

Listener Menopause Exercise Question: Are You Exercising Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?”   Recently, a listener asked a menopause exercise question, "I'm doing strength training three times a week for 30 minutes. Is that too much? If you have wondered, or wonder what is enough, too much or the Goldilocks for you, this is for you.   Based on a study in Ireland called Menowell (not to be confused with the bars), almost 70% of us get our information from friends and 50% get information from social media. So, beware. Even researchers right now are spending a lot of time and energy getting eyeballs and making shocking statements. Instead of merely sharing the facts, they're being as inflammatory as the influencers they claim not to be.    Quick Overview: Menopause can bring bone loss, muscle loss, metabolic changes, mood shifts & symptoms like hot flashes and sleep troubles. Promise: By the end, you'll know how to calibrate exercise for maximum benefit and minimal burnout, even if you're not experiencing any of these.    Why exercise is non-negotiable? Exercise is medicine.  Muscle is medicine and an endocrine organ.  Muscle is HRT if you allow it to be.  Like any other medicine, the right dose and timing are crucial.    How much is too little? I could answer in a very generic way: Minimum WHO/HHS guidelines:  150 min moderate aerobic + 2 strength sessions weekly  Under 150 min weekly leads to missed benefits like bone density maintenance and cardiometabolic protection   This is not a generic podcast and you're not a generic woman.  So, let's answer with the uniqueness you deserve. Whether you're exercising too little or too much your body leaves both objective and subjective data.    Red flags of Undertraining and Overtraining: Persistent fatigue Ongoing symptoms Plateau in strength/mood/weight.   More Answers to Your Menopause Exercise Questions   When exercise becomes too much: Excessive high-intensity sessions >3× weekly without recovery ups injury risk—especially for connective tissue for women in midlife.  Overtraining stress can aggravate symptoms, disturb sleep, mood, and adrenal health, appetite/cravings and libido.    Finding the sweet spot: Measure muscle and body fat (See Resources for my smart scale picks.)  Measure waist girth  Measure bone density through Dexa scan    Do-It-Yourself checklist: Track energy, sleep, mood, focus, libido, digestion, elimination (See Resources for Flipping50 Progress Tracker)  Between your objective and subjective measures, are you getting what you want? Not just immediate but long term?    References:  Cooper, D., Ward, K., Kavanagh, R. and O'Connor, S.
