In a world where AI-powered question answering interfaces and AI agents are becoming the new informational gatekeepers, how can humanitarian organizations adapt their communications strategies to stay visible, credible, and prominent? In this episode of Humanitarian AI Today, guest host Roderick Besseling, Head of the Data and Analytics Unit at the Norwegian Refugee Council, speaks with Matthew Brown from Profound, a startup that helps companies track, control, and optimize their marketing and communications content for the agentic internet. Joined by Lucy Hall, a Data and Evidence Specialist from Save the Children's Humanitarian Leadership Academy and Brent Phillips, Roderick and Matt discuss a critical challenge facing the humanitarian sector caused by artificial intelligence upending the world of search, simultaneously disrupting the industry and transforming the very nature of how we access information. This disruption forces a pivotal choice: organizations must adapt their communication strategies, or risk becoming invisible to the donors and communities they serve. Matt explains how Profound helps companies and organizations analyze their "AI visibility" by tracking how, when, and in what context their brand is mentioned by question-answering interfaces like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. He explains how Answer or Agentic Engine Optimization (AEO) works and how Profound can help organizations learn to generate the high-quality, semantically rich, and well-structured content that AI agents favor, ensuring that their communications are not just seen, but are recognized as trustworthy and reliable. The conversation also explores how AEO can support the localization agenda within the humanitarian sector. Matt argues that this technological shift can "level-up the playing field," giving local and grassroots organizations a better chance at visibility. Because AEO prioritizes well-structured, helpful content over large budgets and traditional SEO tactics, smaller organizations with less resources have a new opportunity to be discovered, ensuring their vital work is visible to donors and partners from the community level all the way up to large UN agencies.

Profound media failures and AI are making a global misinformation crisis even worse. But there's a place working to hold onto proof of what's real. It has 11 floors, takes up half a million square feet, and includes a huge underground section that keeps out oxygen, so robots do the work. Today, Josh takes you there. You'll hear from a team working to document the truth about a crucial story -- and a very difficult one to grapple with. They discuss ethical questions, and what it takes to also document false propaganda. This place shows what could be built in any society that values truth. One of the women Josh interviews is a global leader in making that happen. You'll also hear from civil rights leader Mamie Till. Plus, a surprise audio “conversation” that an AI tool presented Josh with — and what his kids said about it.
Nathan, AKA KUBARK Stare, @postcyborg on Twitter, an organizer of a film club in London which listeners should check out, joins me for a conversation about noided proletarian filmmaker Imamura Shōhei's 1968 film Profound Desire of the Gods. Former Ozu disciple Imamura rejected the neat and clean nationalist family values of his early mentor to explore the deepest and most powerful forces slumbering fitfully at the bottom of fourth-reich Japanese society. Here he goes back to the “dawn of everything” (as he conceives of such things) to take up some prime paleo-parapolitical material—outcast shamans, tribal secret societies, masked death squads—so you know we have to check it out.

A guide to connecting with your deepest ground―a rootedness that supports authentic psychological healing and embodied spirituality“This beautiful and deeply insightful work invites us to reconnect with our true ground―a place of inner stability and peace that lies beyond fear.” ―Tara Brach, author of Radical AcceptanceIn John J. Prendergast's decades of experience as a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher, the area of the body that's most difficult for people to connect with, given our survival fear and trauma, is our physical and energetic ground. This area in the lower belly and at the base of the spine corresponds with the root chakra in the Indian subtle body tradition, the lower dan tien in Taoism, and the hara in Japanese martial arts. While most spiritual traditions focus on opening the mind and the heart, they tend to avoid or undervalue the opening of the ground. Prendergast notes, “It remains largely unconscious and deeply defended.”This guide invites you to take a deep dive into your personal, archetypal, and universal ground, and to see through the false ground of your early conditioning and limited identity. Throughout Your Deepest Ground, Prendergast shares:• Profound yet accessible teachings to help you connect with your ground• Sensitive awareness to the trauma we're often holding in this part of our physical and energetic body• Sensing and inquiry practices to work with your own body and life• Authentic anecdotes and conversations drawn from his teaching that show the power of this work in actionBy consciously opening to our ground, we can experience a felt sense of inner safety and stability that supports the full flowering of inner peace, freedom, and loving awareness―a truly embodied spirituality.

A guide to connecting with your deepest ground―a rootedness that supports authentic psychological healing and embodied spirituality“This beautiful and deeply insightful work invites us to reconnect with our true ground―a place of inner stability and peace that lies beyond fear.” ―Tara Brach, author of Radical AcceptanceIn John J. Prendergast's decades of experience as a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher, the area of the body that's most difficult for people to connect with, given our survival fear and trauma, is our physical and energetic ground. This area in the lower belly and at the base of the spine corresponds with the root chakra in the Indian subtle body tradition, the lower dan tien in Taoism, and the hara in Japanese martial arts. While most spiritual traditions focus on opening the mind and the heart, they tend to avoid or undervalue the opening of the ground. Prendergast notes, “It remains largely unconscious and deeply defended.”This guide invites you to take a deep dive into your personal, archetypal, and universal ground, and to see through the false ground of your early conditioning and limited identity.

Next Level Soul with Alex Ferrari: A Spirituality & Personal Growth Podcast
On today's episode, we welcome Gary L. Wimmer, a man whose journey through life and beyond will leave you questioning the nature of existence. In this profound conversation, Gary shares the riveting story of his near-death experience, during which he witnessed a future that seems eerily accurate and learned profound lessons about the universe. His experience wasn't just a brush with death; it was a transcendental voyage that shattered his understanding of reality.Gary's near-death experience occurred after a car accident, but what preceded the event was equally extraordinary. Before the accident, he experienced intense premonitions, telepathic connections, and a deepening sense of the mystical. He recalls walking down the street in Austin, Texas, when suddenly, the monitors—a group of angelic beings—appeared to him in a flash of light. They asked him one crucial question: "Do you trust us?" It was only after he answered yes that he was struck head-on by a speeding car. This marked the beginning of a journey beyond the physical world, where he expanded spiritually, encountered infinite mind, and grasped the profound interconnectedness of the universe.During the interview, Gary L. Wimmer vividly recounts the phases of his near-death experience. He describes the sensation of expanding beyond the Earth, past galaxies, and into a void of infinite love and mind, where he no longer recognized himself as a separate being. "It was pure, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful," he says, capturing the profound joy and fearlessness he felt while traversing the cosmos. It wasn't just an out-of-body experience; it was a glimpse into the very mechanics of creation, where infinite possibilities manifest through infinite love.What's perhaps most compelling is that Gary's experience didn't end with his return to his body. As he re-entered his physical form, he was shown visions of the future—events like 9/11 and the turbulent changes we see in today's world. These visions revealed humanity's struggles but also the hope of a future characterized by enlightenment and peace. It's a reminder that despite the chaos, we are moving toward something greater.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.
TV executive turned stand-up comic and best-selling author Cally Beaton joins Andy to share a powerful story of breakdown, reinvention, told with unflinching honesty. From high powered Hollywood boardrooms to hitting bottom in a psychiatric hospital, Cally's journey is anything but linear — and that's the point.In this episode, Cally opens up about losing control and taking it back on her own terms. How her midlife mental health crisis ultimately pushed her towards a life of greater meaning and connection, and how comedy helped her find her voice. She reflects on the realities of solo parenting, career pivots, social media hypocrisy and the glorious messiness of trying — and often failing — at life. Cally's story is both sobering and sharply funny, brimming with hard-earned wisdom and zero pretence.Five Lessons You'll Learn:You don't have to do everything well, you just have to be willing to begin.Connection is a superpower and it starts with listening to understand, not to reply.Resilience isn't stoicism, it's flexibility. True strength lies in allowing the wobble, not denying it.Profound change often starts in profound discomfort and that's not failure, it's fertile ground.Reinvention has no age limit but it does require letting go of who you think you're meant to be.Host: Andy CoulsonCWC Team: Jane Sankey, Hana Walker-Brown, Mabel Pickering, and Rex FisherSpecial thanks to Ioana Barbu and the brilliant people at GlobalFor PR and guest approaches: podcast@coulsonpartners.com

I've been sick for the last two days and so today, we're jumping back in time to an older episode that I never published (oops!) from Rebecca Solnit's book, Hope in the Dark. "We are used to constant flux in the daily details of existence, yet the basic structure of the status quo always looks so unalterable. But it's not. Profound change for the better does occur, even though it can be difficult to see because one of the most common effects of success is to be taken for granted. What looks perfectly ordinary after the fact would often have seemed like a miracle before it.” - Christ BrightBUY THE BOOK: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/791-hope-in-the-dark READ FROM THE BOOK: https://blogs.helsinki.fi/vallisaari/files/2018/06/Solnit_Hope_in_the_dark.pdfTHE AUTHOR: http://rebeccasolnit.net/THE RESOURCES FROM GW University: https:// onlinepublichealth.gwu.edu/resources/sources-for-climate-news/MORE RESOURCES: 350.org AND https://hiphopcaucus.org/action-center/DONATE:www.pcrf.netGet Involved:Operation Olive Branch: Spreadsheets + LinksGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

Today she joins Emily to talk about her experiences with autism, and they cover a lot of ground in this conversation. They discuss the evolution and effectiveness of ABA therapy, the need for accurate labeling, and using declarative language in communication. They also offer advice for parents of newly diagnosed children, and talk about the importance of finding community. TAKEAWAYS The world will label children if parents don't. The superpower label is a double-edged sword. Nuance is often lost in discussions about autism. Profound autism requires specific understanding and advocacy. Declarative language can reduce pressure in communication. Specific questions help autistic individuals engage better. Finding community is essential for parents of autistic children.

Craig Mod is an artist, author, and photographer who has lived in Japan for 25 years, chronicling the country through thousands of miles of recent solo walks. We explore walking as inner cartography—a practice that transforms attention into meaning. We discuss Craig's journey from his best friend's murder in Connecticut to finding home in Tokyo, the ineffable Japanese concept of "yōyū," reconciling adoption trauma through movement, and how 300-mile walks without digital distraction became his path to healing. His story takes a stunning turn when these walks ultimately lead him back to meet his birth mother at 42. Craig transforms heavy into light. And this conversation reveals how. Enjoy!
