On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Washington Post reporter Tatum Hunter, who interviewed Australian teens about the country's new social media ban. Platforms like Instagram and Reddit are now required to keep under-sixteens off their apps, but it didn't take long for the teens to outsmart these new restrictions. As similar legislation is introduced across the world, no one knows if these bans are actually effective—or if they hurt teens more than they help.

Episode 342 Social media began with the best intentions - but it soon went sour. Platforms that once fostered connection are now driven by an endless desire to monopolise our time. From the endless scroll to ragebait content, social media is no longer designed to connect us with friends and family - but to profit from our attention. And that's not to mention the damaging political influence it can have. As countries and governments move to act against it, is there a good solution to these problems? Bitcoin is one big disaster for the environment. Mining bitcoin requires an inordinate amount of energy - and that cost only increases as more bitcoin is mined. It's also a terrible investment these days, with some experts suggesting you'd be better off buying a load of Pokémon cards. Adding to that its role in fuelling crime on the dark web - and it becomes a strong contender for worst idea of the 21st century. Carbon off-sets - another well intentioned solution to the climate crisis that's gone horribly wrong. The idea is you can lessen the environmental impact of your actions, by off-setting the damage. Maybe you take a long-haul flight, but you plant a tree in return. The trouble is, not only does this give people permission to keep polluting the environment, it's not even clear if offsetting actually works. But perhaps it's not all bad? Effective altruism is a surprising addition to the list, given that it's meant to be a way of ensuring money goes to only the best causes. But judging which charities deserve donations above others is much more difficult than it seems. And part of the effective altruism movement suggests people should earn as much money as possible so they can one day give it away - which can obviously end badly. And then there are those who have taken it too far - ruining their life. One seemingly good fix for environmental damage is the promise of alternative fuels, like natural gases, hydrogen and biofuels. But it turns out they probably do a lot more damage than good. Biofuels in particular require massive amounts of farmland to produce, which alone is highly polluting. Add to that the fact they're driving up prices at the supermarket - perhaps there's a better way to stop the climate from warming?

If AI agents really are the future of how work will be done — in software engineering and beyond — the platforms on which they are built, run and maintained will be crucial. This is a topic two Thoughtworkers, Ben O'Mahony and Fabian Nonnenmacher, are currently writing about. Although not due to be published until early 2027, the first two chapters of Building AI Agent Platforms are now available as part of O'Reilly's Early Release scheme. Its goal is to provide readers with a complete roadmap for developing AI agent platforms, from agent development to architectural principles to observability and governance.  In this episode of the Technology Podcast, the authors speak to regular host Ken Mugrage about the book, why agent platforms are a critical part of any AI strategy and some of the challenges of developing and maintaining them. Listen for an early look at what looks set to be a valuable book in the world of AI development and to gain a clearer perspective on what agentic AI really means at the start of 2026.

In this unique episode, Travis flips the script and “interviews” an AI financial expert—ChatGPT—about making money in 2026, diversification, live social shopping, and building a personal brand. Alongside in-studio producer Eric, Travis uses the conversation to highlight what AI gets right, where it still falls short, and how listeners can practically use these tools without losing their own voice or strategy. The result is a fun, meta, and surprisingly insightful look at the future of money-making in an AI-powered world. On this episode we talk about: Why the “best” financial advice in 2026 is turning what you already know into multiple income streams The right order of operations: master one core offer before you diversify Emerging money-making trends: niche communities, AI-powered tools, and micro-education How to “sell shovels in the gold rush” of AI instead of chasing every new shiny use case What live social shopping is and why big voices (like Gary Vee) are obsessed with it How to make money with live shopping even if you don't have your own products Platforms enabling live shopping (including Amazon Live) and how they work at a basic level Simple, kid-level breakdown of using Amazon's fulfillment plus live streams to sell products How to build trust from scratch so people will actually buy from your lives and content Recommended voices to follow for making money and building a personal brand How Travis can double down on his unique stance against toxic hustle culture The limits of AI as a podcast guest—what it's great at and where it still feels vague and “too nice” Top 3 Takeaways Multiple income streams only work if they're built on a strong, proven core offer—focus, then diversify. AI is a massive opportunity not just to “use,” but to build tools, training, and services that help others use it better. The next wave of making money combines authenticity, community, and live interactive selling on platforms people already use. Notable Quotes “Before you diversify, you really do need a strong core…get that one income stream really solid and then you can add on and diversify from there.” “If AI is the gold rush, the real opportunity is being the one selling the shovels—tools, platforms, and education that help others use AI effectively.” “Go bold without being divisive—challenge hustle culture, put lifestyle design and relationships first, and show people there's another way to win.” Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Coaching & podcast help: https://travischappell.com/coaching  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

Podcast Episode 260: Local SEO 2026—Authenticity, AI, and the Google Playbook Are you ready to start 2026 with a boom? As the digital landscape shifts, small businesses are facing a new reality where traditional search is evolving into Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). While "big brands" can often get away with less personal marketing, local businesses have a massive advantage by building genuine community connections and radical authenticity. In this episode, our Marketing Guides break down the essential playbook you need to dominate local search over the next two years, from mastering the latest Google Business Profile updates to leveraging AI without losing your human touch. What You'll Get Out of This Episode You will walk away with a clear strategic roadmap for 2026 that prioritizes human behavior and high-conversion tactics over trendy distractions. You'll learn why your website remains the most important platform you actually own and how to ensure it feeds the Large Language Models (LLMs) that power modern search results. We also dive into the "speed-to-lead" revolution, showing you why responding within minutes—not days—is the new standard for winning hot leads. What You'll Learn The Core of Local Marketing in 2026 • Why authenticity is a superpower: How small businesses can outshine international brands by getting involved in the community and building engaged email newsletters. • The "Speed-to-Lead" System: Why you must use automations, SMS, and AI chatbots to ensure you never miss a lead, as customers no longer have the patience to wait. • The truth about demographics: Why you must ignore stereotypes—especially regarding seniors, who are among the fastest-growing adopters of online search. Platforms and Content Strategy • Short-form video mastery: Why 6-second Instagram Reels are currently the top-performing content and how to use geotags to send the right signals to algorithms. • The evolution of blogging: Moving from traditional SEO to feeding AI the authoritative content it craves across platforms like Reddit, LinkedIn, and niche forums. • Balancing AI with a human touch: How to use AI for drafts and structure while avoiding "five-handed person" image fails and robotic, unedited text. Google Business Profile & Technical Essentials • GBP Verification Myths: The reality of how Google gives preference to brick-and-mortar locations with permanent signage over home-based businesses. • The disappearing Q&A: Why rumors of Google removing the Q&A feature mean you must move those answers to your own website's FAQ section immediately. • Technical SEO as a foundation: Why site speed, schema markup, and accurate directory citations across Bing, Apple Maps, and ChatGPT are more critical than ever.

Before Backstage became the industry standard for developer portals, Spotify's engineers relied on spreadsheets to navigate their massive microservices ecosystem.Tyson Singer, Spotify's Head of Technology and Platforms, joins us to trace the evolution of their internal developer experience from a necessity for order into the open-source giant Backstage and its new SaaS evolution, Portal. We dig into how they use golden paths to align autonomous squads and how their new AI Knowledge Assistant (AiKA) reduced internal support tickets by nearly 50% while protecting developer flow. Finally, Tyson shares his philosophy on sustainable innovation, explaining how to train an engineering organization to run a marathon at a sprinter's pace.LinearB: Measure the impact of GitHub Copilot and CursorFollow the show:Subscribe to our Substack Follow us on LinkedInSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelLeave us a ReviewFollow the hosts:Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's stories:Spotify Engineering Blog: engineering.spotify.comSpotify Portal: backstage.spotify.comConfidence: confidence.spotify.comConnect with Tyson: LinkedInOFFERS Start Free Trial: Get started with LinearB's AI productivity platform for free.

Two years after OpenAI signed its first content licensing deal with Axel Springer, the field of AI platforms doing business with publishers has expanded exponentially. Especially just in the past year. But then the publishers have to evaluate those options. Fortunately Digiday senior media editor Jessica Davies and senior media reporter Sara Guaglione have done a lot of that legwork in drafting a scorecard of the major AI platforms based on interviews with publishers. They joined the show to review the rankings and share the reasoning behind why platforms from Meta to Microsoft, Anthropic to OpenAI may rate higher or lower than you'd expect. Check out Jess and Sara's written scorecard here: https://digiday.com/media/publishers-scorecard-for-big-techs-ai-licensing-deals/

Tiffany G. Dickerson, known across the industry as the Housing Highlighter, joins ChangeMakers with Katie Goar for a conversation about why public housing authorities must take control of their own story.Tiffany shares her unconventional path into affordable housing, moving from probation and parole work into resident services and eventually into communications strategy. Along the way, she saw a major gap. Housing authorities were doing meaningful work, but no one outside their walls knew about it.You hear why consistent communication matters, how silence allows others to define your narrative, and why positive stories help balance inevitable challenges. Tiffany breaks down real examples of resident services programs, from financial literacy and driver education to youth initiatives, scholarships, and community partnerships. She explains how these efforts build trust, improve engagement, and change how media and stakeholders respond.The conversation also tackles common mistakes housing authorities make online, including deleting comments, overusing flyers on social media, ignoring accessibility, and centering messaging too heavily on leadership instead of residents. Tiffany offers practical guidance on handling criticism, responding professionally to complaints, and using feedback as a system check rather than a threat.This episode is essential listening for housing authority leaders, communications teams, and community partners who want to strengthen trust, improve engagement, and make sure the full story of affordable housing gets heard.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Performance-based church models often reward visibility, influence, and numerical growth. Platforms grow larger, leaders become untouchable, and success is measured by applause rather than integrity. In these systems, harm doesn't always look dramatic. More often, it is quiet: dismissed concerns, spiritualized control, and victims urged to...

AI for restaurant operations is no longer a future concept — it's becoming a present-day competitive advantage. In an industry where margins are tight and decisions must be made quickly, the ability to predict demand, optimize prep, and streamline labor is transforming how restaurants perform on a daily basis. Matt Wampler, CEO and Co-Founder of ClearCOGS, brings a unique perspective to the conversation. His career didn't begin in tech but behind the counter of a struggling sandwich shop he took over at just 21 years old. After successfully turning the business around and operating multiple locations, Wampler eventually sold his restaurants and taught himself to code during the pandemic. That experience led to the founding of ClearCOGS, a platform designed to translate complex machine learning into simple, actionable insights for restaurant teams. ClearCOGS functions as an AI operations manager for restaurants. Rather than focusing on static dashboards or complex analytics reports, the platform provides daily answers to real-world questions: how many trays of bagels to bake, how much brisket to smoke, what to prep before closing, or how to plan staffing for the next shift. By combining historical data with real-time inputs like weather and daypart trends, ClearCOGS gives managers the confidence to make decisions that reduce waste, improve staffing, and boost profitability. Restaurants have always relied on a mix of instinct and experience to guide their operations. But as chains expand and customer expectations grow, relying solely on gut feeling is no longer enough. AI for restaurant operations offers a path to consistency and control, especially for multi-unit operators who need scalable systems. The platform doesn't replace people — it frees them up. With less time spent on number crunching and reactionary problem-solving, leaders can focus on the human side of the business: coaching staff, enhancing guest experience, and driving culture. One of the key themes highlighted by Wampler is the growing disparity between available technology and the tools most operators are still using. Many restaurants continue to depend on outdated spreadsheets or disconnected systems that don't provide the foresight needed to make smart operational calls. ClearCOGS helps bridge that gap by offering AI-driven predictions based on the specific needs of each location — not just generalized models. Wampler also emphasizes the importance of simplicity. While AI can be complex under the hood, its impact should be easy to understand on the front end. The goal isn't to overwhelm restaurant managers with more data — it's to answer their questions clearly and help them stay ahead of their day. By embedding AI for restaurant operations into the daily workflow, ClearCOGS ensures that the technology adds value without requiring a steep learning curve. As the restaurant industry continues to adapt to rising costs, staffing challenges, and shifting customer patterns, operational intelligence is becoming a critical advantage. Businesses that embrace AI not as a buzzword but as a practical tool are seeing real improvements in efficiency, profitability, and team morale. Platforms like ClearCOGS are leading that shift — not by replacing what makes restaurants special, but by supporting it with smarter systems. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Luv Kapur, a technology leader at Bit who's reshaping how enterprises build software. Luv shares his journey from leading platform engineering at one of Canada's largest pension funds to joining a startup on a mission to help organizations scale development through composability and AI-powered tools.The conversation explores how AI is fundamentally changing software development—not by writing more code, but by enabling teams to compose better solutions with less custom code. Luv challenges the hype around code generation, arguing that the real bottleneck isn't writing code but translating business requirements into sound architecture and reusing battle-tested components.Luv also offers a grounded perspective on AI's impact on jobs, the importance of discoverability in component libraries, and practical advice for CTOs building composable organizations.Key Takeaways[0:00] - Episode introduction: AI-powered, cloud-native enterprise development tools[1:00] - The hidden cost of poor discoverability in internal libraries and how it silently slows high-performing teams[4:26] - Luv's background: From leading platform engineering at Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan to joining Bit[4:47] - The spark for the leap: Believing in the mission of helping enterprises scale development globally[5:19] - The consistency problem: When products span multiple teams but feel disjointed to users[6:37] - Building a platform team whose customers are developers themselves[7:23] - Discoverability as the key problem: Developers couldn't find what already existed[9:24] - Why inner source software transforms development artifacts into invaluable organizational assets[11:37] - Viewing your org chart as a dependency graph, not a hierarchy[15:51] - The AI hype is justified, but code generation isn't the real bottleneck[17:01] - The bottleneck is translating business requirements into software architecture, not writing code[18:41] - AI should help us do less work, not more work[19:27] - Why developers won't lose jobs: There's infinite work, not finite work[20:19] - Reusing battle-tested components increases quality and reduces surface area for errors[21:59] - Reducing AI context to dependency graphs and APIs prevents hallucinations[23:05] - Private enterprise data is the gold mine for AI value[24:35] - The rise of citizen developers: Non-technical people building with natural language[26:40] - Empowering citizen developers with internal component marketplaces[27:19] - How AI changes the build vs. buy equation through faster prototyping[30:09] - Internal tools will be hit hardest by AI disruption[34:41] - SaaS companies must align with core business value to stay sticky[36:19] - The biggest mistake: Equating vibe-engineered solutions with production-ready software[39:01] - Building AI muscle: Start with clear scoped goals, not vague initiatives[40:45] - The future: Higher skill ceiling, elimination of junior developer roles, but more opportunities overall[43:45] - Junior developers must contribute to open source and build visible impact[44:31] - The one capability every software leader needs: Willingness to adopt AI and keep learningTweetable Quotes"For an internal team, if it doesn't get adopted, it's useless.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you feel constantly worried about shrinking organic visibility, heavier ad pressure, and constant change? Running an agency has never been a straight line. Platforms change, algorithms shift, and what worked five years ago can quietly stop working overnight. Organic visibility is shrinking, ads are getting more expensive, and uncertainty feels constant. Today's featured guest knows that reality and will share her journey from agency employee to founder of a 43-person local SEO agency, along with her honest perspective on Google, AI, remote teams, and why growing bigger can actually create more freedom and impact when done for the right reasons. Joy Hawkins is the founder and owner of Sterling Sky, a specialized local SEO agency focused on helping businesses rank on Google Maps and local search results. She has been working in the SEO industry since 2006 and is widely known for her deep understanding of how Google's algorithm works, especially in local search. Sterling Sky is a fully remote agency with team members spread across Canada and the United States. What started as a small consulting experiment has grown into a 43-person team over eight years. In this episode, we'll discuss: Google, AI, and the future of local SEO Why SEO agencies must diversify to survive Building a fully remote team.

From Agency Employee to Founder of a Local SEO Agency After more than a decade inside agencies, Joy realized she was more interested in how systems worked than in selling them. When disagreements about services and sales responsibilities reached a breaking point, she decided to try consulting (fully prepared to dip into savings and return to a job if needed). Clients came faster than expected. Eight years later, that experiment has grown into a 43-person remote agency. Google, AI, and the Future of Local SEO One of the biggest challenges Joy sees in the industry right now is the pace of change inside Google's ecosystem. Features are constantly being swapped out, organic real estate is shrinking, and small businesses are feeling the impact more than ever. While agencies can usually adapt, clients often struggle because Google still represents such a large percentage of their lead flow. A major concern Joy sees is how Google is pushing more ads and limiting organic exposure, especially in local results. On mobile devices, users are now seeing local service ads dominate the top of the screen, followed by AI-driven local results that are shrinking from three listings down to one in some cases. For businesses that used to rely on being second or third in the map pack, this shift can mean a dramatic drop in calls almost overnight. Despite the fear around AI, Joy does not believe Google is going anywhere. As she points out, Google's real advantage is data. Reviews, location history, calls, visits, and behavior all live inside Google Maps. That depth of information is something other platforms struggle to match. Local SEO is still viable, but it is no longer free traffic in the way many business owners became used to. The bigger lesson is not about Google itself, but about dependency. When an agency or a business relies too heavily on one channel, any change can feel catastrophic. The agencies that struggle the most right now tend to be those built around rigid, cookie-cutter systems that cannot flex with the landscape. Why SEO Agencies Must Diversify to Survive Agency owners who want time to adapt should keep in mind it's always better to have an outbound strategy, an inbound strategy, and partnerships that you can rely on. If all your business comes from one channel and that channel changes, you are forced into reaction mode. The opportunity here is for agencies to guide clients toward broader strategies. That might include paid ads, partnerships, or even old school tactics like direct mail and local sponsorships. The exact tactic matters less than the mindset. Businesses need multiple levers to pull so they are not held hostage by one platform's decisions. For instance, right now everyone's scrambling to adopt AI in their processes, services, and more. But you should also try to understand the economics behind AI and advertising. The massive data centers, energy consumption, and infrastructure costs mean that today's low prices will not last forever. Platforms are investing heavily now with the expectation that monetization will follow. For agency owners, this reinforces the importance of pricing correctly, setting expectations with clients, and building offers that account for rising costs and shrinking organic margins. Building a Fully Remote Agency Joy's agency started more as a practical decision than a remote-first experiment. After years of working from home she saw no reason to take on the overhead of an office. The cost savings mattered early on, but the flexibility mattered even more. Without a commute, Joy could better balance work and family life. That same benefit extended to her team. Many of her early hires were former coworkers from an agency that later shut down, people she already trusted and respected. Since they were geographically spread out, an office would have created unnecessary friction. Expanding into the United States was also a strategic move. Joy wanted access to a larger talent pool so she could be extremely selective about who she hired. Being remote made it possible to hire people who were already passionate about local SEO instead of settling for whoever happened to live nearby. Culture, Connection, and Team Building at Scale One of the risks of running a remote agency is losing human connection. Joy is very intentional about avoiding that. While informal meetups happen more often in Canada, the entire team gets together once a year for an in person retreat. The goal of these retreats is mostly relationship building. Joy genuinely likes the people she works with and considers many of them friends. She believes that strong relationships create trust, better communication, and a healthier work environment overall. Joy sees firsthand how flexible work, reasonable boundaries, and a supportive environment can be life changing for employees who came from toxic workplaces. That impact has become a meaningful part of why she continues to grow the agency. Why Scaling the Agency Became a Mission When she first started her agency, Joy wanted a small team. Ten people or fewer. Highly experienced. Minimal management. That vision changed a few years in, and the reason surprised her. Around two years in, her agency began supporting a charity in Uganda, and the more she built that relationship, the more Joy saw how far a single dollar could stretch there compared to North America. Visiting in person made the impact real. She realized that by growing the agency, she could dramatically increase the good they could do through that partnership. The same realization applied to her team. As the agency grew, Joy saw how stable, flexible work improved her employees' lives. That sense of responsibility and opportunity shifted her perspective as she figured out her purpose. Now growth was no longer about ego or scale for its own sake. It became a way to create more impact both inside and outside the business. Leadership, Delegation, and Hiring for Your Weaknesses Agency owners who wish to keep their businesses small are often thinking about the nightmare that running a big agency can be. They imagine that the headaches they deal with at ten employees will just double if the team doubles. However, this was never the case for Joy. When she thinks about overworking she thinks about her time working for others. This is probably because Joy has always been very clear about what she does not enjoy. Accounting, taxes, and people management are high on the list, and instead of forcing herself to become good at everything, she hired people who genuinely enjoy those areas. A strong accountant removed massive mental load early on and hiring leadership team members who thrive on managing people allowed Joy to focus on strategy and innovation. She believes this is one of the biggest unlocks for agency owners who feel trapped. Delegation is not about offloading busywork. It is about trusting capable people to own outcomes. Joy prefers hiring experienced professionals over entry level talent because she does not want to micromanage. Her expectations are high, but so is her respect for her team's autonomy.

For creatives and freelancers, time and attention are our most valuable resources. In this New Year special, I dig into the idea of enshittification - how online platforms slowly shift from serving users to extracting value from them - and why social media, algorithms, and subscription-based systems are quietly undermining creative focus, ambition, and long-term work.This episode is about recognising the trap that today's platforms have set, stepping away from systems that no longer serve you, and refocusing your energy on work that actually matters - work that is significant, honest, and genuinely representative of you as a creative.OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/FilmProProdPodFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/filmproproductivityCONTACT: https://www.filmproproductivity.com/contactINDIE FILM HUSTLE: https://indiefilmhustle.com/ifh-podcast-network-filmmaking-and-screenwriting/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqo0Zld2Lm2lJDpDh3GsuZgQUOTES:“The enshittification of platforms is not a bug.

In this episode of The Distribution, Brandon Sedloff sits down with Jeff Beckham to discuss building institutional real estate platforms, generating operational alpha, and scaling founder-led investment firms. Jeff walks through his career from investment banking to global real estate investing and explains how those experiences shaped his approach as Chief Investment Officer at Buckingham. The discussion dives deep into Buckingham's focus on the living sector, vertical integration, and why discipline and process matter most in today's market environment.  They discuss: • Jeff's career path from Morgan Stanley to leading investment platforms across Europe and the US • Why Buckingham focuses exclusively on the living sector across multifamily, student housing, build-to-rent, and active adult • How vertical integration across development, construction, and property management drives operational alpha • The investment case for Midwest, Southeast, and Mountain West markets versus coastal markets • Balancing entrepreneurial deal-making with institutional processes, accountability, and scale Links: Buckingham Companies - https://buckingham.com/ Jeff on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/w-jeffrey-beckham-2ab2712/ Brandon on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsedloff/ Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/ Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:04:54) - Jeff's career journey (00:12:20) - Joining Buckingham and real estate insights (00:19:51) - Buckingham's investment strategy (00:28:45) - The appeal of build-to-rent (BTR) housing (00:29:43) - Investment strategies in the living sector (00:31:18) - Challenges and opportunities in the living sector (00:35:47) - Operational focus and deal sourcing (00:38:57) - Role and responsibilities of a CIO (00:44:09) - Building systems for future growth (00:46:37) - Balancing immediate and long-term goals (00:52:29) - Excitement for future opportunities (00:53:55) - Conclusion and contact information

One of the biggest challenges podcasters face is turning their passive listeners into engaged followers. That is because the nature of podcasting allows listeners to “lurk in the shadows,” so to speak, and get their value by listening without ever needing to engage with your content. So how do we change that? This week, episode 27 of Successful Podcasting Unlocked answers the question: How can I move my listeners to other platforms?In this episode, I share:Understand WHY you want your listeners to move and WHERE you want them to move to. Clearly explain the value listeners will get elsewhere to encourage them to engage with you on other platforms. Give clear directions for your one call-to-action that moves listeners from passive listening to active engagement. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips, tricks, and advice as I answer all your podcasting questions.

Most enterprises aren't struggling with AI because of technology. They're struggling because they're trying to scale pilots instead of platforms. In this episode of Technovation, Peter High speaks with Atilla Tinic, CIO of Qualcomm, about how the company is moving beyond one-off AI use cases to build an enterprise AI platform designed for scale. Tinic explains why unified and validated data is essential for AI accuracy, how Qualcomm enables developers and business teams through a centralized AI marketplace, and why security must be embedded into AI architecture from day one. Key topics include: Why data governance is foundational to AI success How Qualcomm structures AI as a reusable enterprise platform The rise of AI agents and autonomous systems Cybersecurity challenges introduced by AI and how AI helps defend against them

In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric swap stories about the strangest, most unconventional ways people are making real money—from TikTok shops to doodle detanglers—and how “weird” ideas can turn into serious income. Travis also opens up about his own nontraditional paths to getting paid, from door-to-door sales to a short-lived modeling side quest. On this episode we talk about: Creators making $40–50K/month purely from TikTok Shop affiliate commissions with no physical products How an eight-figure landscaper turned his experience into “Uber for lawn care” with the GreenPal app Flea market and Facebook Marketplace flippers who drive around, buy underpriced items, and resell them on eBay for five-figure profits on single deals A niche e‑commerce brand built around a single problem: detangling doodle dog hair and scaling it to seven figures Remote “job stacking” and how one guest runs three work‑from‑home jobs for a combined multiple six‑figure salary Travis' own unconventional income streams: podcast sponsorships, coaching days, Facebook Reels payouts, and even a paid modeling gig in college Top 3 Takeaways Weird often wins. The money is frequently in ultra-specific problems—like doodle hair detanglers or lawn-mowing logistics—rather than trendy, crowded ideas. Distribution is a cheat code. Platforms like TikTok Shop, Facebook Reels, and niche apps can turn other people's products and systems into meaningful cash flow if you understand how to drive attention. “Unconventional” is the new normal. Door-to-door sales, stacked remote jobs, arbitrage flipping, and content monetization show there are many viable ways to earn beyond a traditional 9–5. Notable Quotes “He doesn't even have products—it's all affiliate. He just cranks out videos and commissions.” “You can build a seven‑figure business solving one really specific problem… even if it is just tangled doodle hair.” “Almost everything I've done to make money has been the nontraditional route.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Some days the problem isn't your KPIs. It's the fact that you've been staring at your own brand so long you can't read the label anymore. That's where this conversation with Charlie Sells got interesting. We dug into how easy it is for business owners to chase goals, tweak dashboards, and sprint through to-do lists while completely missing the bigger opportunity hiding in plain sight: curiosity. Charlie, the founder of Clarity Over Everything, spends his days helping leaders step back far enough to see what's actually going on. And let me tell you, he's right. I've lived this one myself. Takeaways Curiosity beats KPIs every time. When you stop assuming you already know your customer, your competitors, and your message, you finally spot blind spots you've been tripping over for months. Throw out assumptions and go look again. Competitors shift. Platforms shift. Markets shift. If you haven't audited your landscape in a few months, you're already behind. Not all ideas deserve your Time Once curiosity uncovers new possibilities, you need a simple roadmap so every shiny new idea doesn't hijack your business. Leaders don't need to get out of the way. They just need to stand in the right place. It's not about consensus; it's about alignment. When the team agrees where you're going, disagreement stops being drama and becomes fuel. Specific Actions You Can Use This Week Do a 20-minute assumption purge. Write down everything you think you “already know” about your audience, competitors, and message. Then test one of those assumptions with real data. Run a quick clarity audit. Click through your top three competitors' websites. Look for changes in their messaging, offers, or positioning. Note one thing you should reconsider. Set a 12-week priority filter. Pick one quick win and one long-game improvement. Everything else goes in the “later” column until those two are done. Yes, everything. About Charlie - In his own words Hi I'm Charlie, the face behind Clarity Over Everything and a brand positioning and clarity strategist who helps leaders and teams get clear, move faster, and set their brand up for success. For the last 15 years, I've worked across copywriting, content marketing, branding, and strategy—helping national brands, local businesses, nonprofits, and small teams turn complexity into clarity.

Podcasts That Are Different: How The Law Enforcement Talk Podcast Reaches Millions for Free. Podcasting has officially entered the mainstream. What was once a niche medium for early adopters is now a dominant force across news, entertainment, and social media, reaching audiences on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and beyond. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Today, 85% of people in the United States are familiar with the term “podcast,” a figure that represents a 10% increase since 2020. Familiarity does not necessarily mean regular listening, but it does signal cultural awareness. As podcasts are referenced more frequently on radio, television, and online platforms, they continue to move out of the “podcaster bubble” and into everyday conversation. This special episode is streaming for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform. By 2025, well over four in five Americans recognize the term podcast, a clear indicator that the medium has become part of the national media landscape. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Awareness Is One Thing, Listening Is Another Listening habits reveal just how powerful podcasting has become. In mid-2023, Edison Research reported a major shift in media consumption: on-demand audio, including podcasts and streaming music, surpassed traditional AM/FM radio in total listening time across the United States. Podcasts That Are Different: How The Law Enforcement Talk Podcast Reaches Millions for Free. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. That trend has only accelerated. According to Infinite Dial data released in early 2025, 70% of Americans have listened to a podcast at least once, up from 55% in 2020. While listening dipped briefly in 2022 as pandemic routines normalized, both monthly and weekly consumption rebounded strongly in 2023 and has continued to grow. Podcasting, it is now clear, is no longer an experiment. It is a mainstream medium. A Podcast That Breaks the Mold Among the thousands of shows competing for attention, some podcasts stand out by doing things differently. One of those is the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, a program built around police, crime, trauma, and real-life stories, delivered without cost and without filters. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “It's 100 percent free,” the show's creator often emphasizes. “No subscriptions, no credit cards, and no paywalls. It never has been paid content, and it never will be.” That commitment to free access has helped the show grow into a nationally syndicated weekly talk radio program, now airing on 148 AM and FM commercial radio stations. Each week, the show is broadcast to an estimated 48 million people across the United States, in addition to its global podcast audience. Podcasts That Are Different: How The Law Enforcement Talk Podcast Reaches Millions for Free. Equally important is the show's tone. “This isn't a lecture, and it's never a sales pitch,” the host explains. “It's about personal experience. People telling their own stories, in their own words.” There are no scripted questions, no product promotions, and no partisan politics... ever, by design. The special episode can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories.

This special episode is streaming for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform Brock Bevell never imagined that a single violent moment would change the entire trajectory of his life. A retired Mesa, Arizona police officer, Brock dedicated his career to public service, until a targeted act of violence ended his time on the job and set him on a painful, unexpected journey through addiction and recovery. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “She threw the truck into reverse and hit me,” Brock recalls. “In an instant, everything changed.” Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Career Cut Short by Violence While serving with the Mesa Police Department, Brock was seriously injured during a violent incident involving a vehicle. The attack caused devastating, career-ending injuries and required multiple surgeries. What followed was a long and grueling rehabilitation process, one familiar to many injured officers across the country. Police Addicted to Drugs And His Amazing Recovery, Special Episode. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. To manage the intense pain, Brock was prescribed opioid pain medication. Like countless patients recovering from serious injuries, he trusted the prescriptions meant to help him heal. Instead, they quietly became the beginning of a much deeper struggle. From Recovery to Addiction During months of surgeries and physical therapy, Brock developed a severe dependence on opioid painkillers. What started as medically prescribed relief slowly evolved into addiction. “I didn't recognize myself anymore,” Brock says. “My world became smaller and darker. I was surviving, not living.” Brock openly shares how addiction affected every part of his life, his relationships, his identity, and his sense of purpose after forced retirement from policing. His story reflects a reality many first responders face but few openly discuss. Police Addicted to Drugs And His Amazing Recovery, Special Episode. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The Science Behind the Crisis Research underscores just how common Brock's experience is. A major study published in JAMA Internal Medicine by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine found that patients undergoing 11 common surgeries faced an increased risk of becoming chronic opioid users. Lead author Eric Sun, MD, PhD, explained: “For a lot of surgeries, there is a higher chance of getting hooked on painkillers.” The study defined chronic opioid use as filling 10 or more prescriptions or receiving more than a 120-day supply within a year after surgery. Patients undergoing knee surgery faced the highest risk, nearly five times that of nonsurgical patients, followed by gallbladder surgery. Importantly, the study did not suggest avoiding surgery, but emphasized the need for careful monitoring and alternative pain management strategies. Police Addicted to Drugs And His Amazing Recovery, Special Episode. The interview can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. Trauma, Policing, and Substance Use Law enforcement officers face unique occupational hazards, including repeated exposure to trauma. Studies show that substance use disorders, including alcohol and drug dependence, occur at higher rates among officers, particularly those experiencing psychological distress. In nationally representative data, more than half of men with lifetime PTSD also had a history of alcohol abuse or dependence. For police officers, these risks are compounded by work stress, injuries, and the cultural stigma surrounding mental health and asking for help. “We wear the uniform, but we're human,” Brock says. “And sometimes the damage doesn't show until it's almost too late.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Hitting Bottom and Choosing Recovery Brock's turning point came when he realized addiction had taken everything it could from him. With professional help, support, and unwavering determination, he entered recovery and committed to sobriety. “Recovery didn't give me my old life back,” he says. “It gave me a new one, one with purpose.” Police Addicted to Drugs And His Amazing Recovery, Special Episode. Today, Brock uses his experience to help others struggling with addiction, trauma, and life after law enforcement. His message is clear: recovery is possible, even after profound loss. Healing Beyond the Badge In the aftermath of violence and trauma, communities often look to police officers as symbols of strength. Yet officers themselves must also heal. Proactive wellness programs, mental health resources, and open conversations about addiction are critical, not just for officers, but for the communities they serve. You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. Mesa, located just east of Phoenix, is known for its deep history, from the ancient Hohokam culture to the modern city Brock once patrolled. It is also where his story originated, one of resilience, accountability, and hope.

2. Future Fleets: Decentralizing Firepower to Counter Chinese Growth. Tom Modly warns that China's shipbuilding capacity vastly outpaces the US, requiring a shift toward distributed forces rather than expensive, concentrated platforms.
