Diese Folge fühlt sich ein bisschen an wie Therapie – nur ohne Couch. Ann-Katrin und Ragnhild Struss, Gründerin der Karrierebereatung Struss & Claussen, sprechen über Selbstverwirklichung, Selbstvertrauen und die Momente, in denen man merkt: So wie bisher geht es nicht weiter. Darum geht es noch: *Welche Frage solltest du dir für 2026 stellen? *Warum fühlt sich ein Jahr oft enttäuschender an, als es objektiv wirklich war? *Was steckt hinter dieser tiefen Erschöpfung am Jahresende – und wie kommst du wieder ins Handeln? *Woran erkennst du, ob es Zeit ist loszulassen oder neu anzufangen? *Wie kannst du Vertrauen in dich selbst zurückgewinnen, wenn es gerade fehlt?

Willkommen zum letzten AI und Automation Update des Jahres, kurz vor Weihnachten! Die letzten Wochen waren super stressig, aber ich freue mich, heute mit Thomas über die rasanten Entwicklungen in der KI zu sprechen. Dieses Jahr war echt der Wahnsinn und wir blicken heute noch einmal zurück und geben einen Ausblick auf das, was uns erwartet. Ein großes Thema, das wir direkt zu Beginn ansprechen, ist die Frage, ob der KI-Hype vorbei ist. Meine These: Ja, er ist vorbei! Wir sprechen nicht mehr über Hype, sondern über Industrialisierung. KI wird jetzt wirklich genutzt und findet überall Anwendung, vom privaten Bereich bis hin zu Banken und Shops. Es geht nicht mehr um das Staunen, sondern um Effizienz und Produktivität. Wir sprechen auch über die Regulierung durch den EU AI Act, der dieses Jahr gestartet ist. Das ist nicht nur eine neue Regelung, sondern beinhaltet auch eine Schulungspflicht für Mitarbeiter, die KI nutzen. Es ist wichtig, die Funktionsweise, ethische Grundlagen und Risiken zu verstehen – Stichwort Prompt Injection! Gleichzeitig fragen wir uns, wie sich die Regulierung weiterentwickelt und ob sie Innovationen hemmt. In der Versicherungswelt sehen wir, dass das Schadensmanagement die "Low Hanging Fruit" ist, wenn es um KI-Anwendungen geht. Viele Versicherer nutzen KI hier bereits, um unstrukturierte Daten zu verarbeiten und Prozesse zu optimieren. Aber es gibt noch so viel mehr Potenzial in anderen Bereichen, und ich frage mich, warum die Branche nicht mutiger ist, diese zu erkunden. Ein zentrales Thema für das kommende Jahr ist meiner Meinung nach die "Agentic AI". Wir sind vom einfachen Chat über komplexe Prompts hin zu KI-Agenten gekommen, die selbstständig Aufgaben zerlegen, Pläne erstellen und mit uns in Dialog treten können. Das wird unsere Arbeitsweise grundlegend verändern, und ich gebe ein Beispiel aus der Softwareentwicklung, um das greifbar zu machen. Zuletzt diskutieren wir, dass viele Herausforderungen, die wir jetzt mit KI erleben – wie das Thema Mindset, Experimentierfreude und das schnelle Anpassen an neue Technologien – gar nicht so neu sind. Sie erinnern an frühere Trends wie Agilität oder Design Thinking, aber die Geschwindigkeit und die technologische Komplexität sind diesmal viel höher.

In this episode of Brain Driven Brands, Sarah and Nate pull back the curtain on the exact AI prompts they actually use to generate high-performing ad ideas—the ones that don't sound robotic, generic, or like every other brand on the internet. After revisiting one of the show's most-downloaded episodes, Sarah shares why most AI-written copy fails, how she rebuilt her prompts from first principles, and what happens when you tell AI which psychological mechanisms to use before it writes anything at all. Together, they live-test these internal prompts on a real brand ad (cowboy boots), exploring how different psychological levers change the creative direction entirely—including: First-principles thinking paired with loss aversion Quiet status signaling and open loops Curiosity-driven hooks and reverse psychology Instead of asking AI to write headlines or scripts, Sarah shows how to use it to generate raw ad concepts—and why the last 10% (the human part) is where all the money is made. This episode is part live teardown, part psychology lesson, and part behind-the-scenes look at how six-figure ads are actually born—not from clever wording, but from properly framed ideas. If you care about better creative, higher prices, and ads that don't feel like ads…this one's for you.

------------------ SHOW NOTES ------------------ Episode Number: 401 Episode Title: A Message of Love for Christmas In this tender Christmas episode, Pascale offers a soft, heart-centred invitation to slow down, release what you can't control, and return to trust. If you're a compassionate soul who tends to worry, this episode is your gentle reset: a simple evidence-based reflection to strengthen faith, and a calming 4x4x4 breathing meditation to help you find your first calm, right where you are. You'll leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and reminded that peace isn't something you earn. It's something you return to, one breath at a time. Podcast Highlights 00:53 Welcome + Merry Christmas + the intention for a calm, peaceful heart 01:53 A loving invitation to let go of worry beyond your control 03:24 Strengthening trust + choosing a supportive belief (mantras) 03:59 Evidence-based reflection: find proof that life has carried you 05:25 4x4x4 breathing meditation: three gentle rounds for your nervous 08:11 When worry returns: simple resets (gratitude, self-compassion, mantra) 08:48 Closing blessing: love, light, and "be the peace" Connect with Pascale Gibon: Website: www.pascalegibon.com Email: www.pascalegibon.com/contact A Message of Love for Christmas Episode Summary This episode is a soothing Christmas message for the beautiful souls who give so much—and sometimes carry too much. Pascale guides you through releasing worry that is outside your control, strengthening a trust-based belief, and using a simple evidence-based gratitude reflection to reconnect you to what's steady and good in your life. You'll also be led through a short 4x4x4 breathing meditation designed to calm your body, soften your heart, and help you return to peace. Table of Contents Welcome + Christmas intention Letting go of worry beyond your control Strengthening trust and faith with supportive beliefs Evidence-based reflection: finding proof in your life 4x4x4 breathing meditation (three rounds) When worry returns: daily reset practices Closing blessing Welcome + Christmas intention Pascale opens with warmth and love, acknowledging the season and offering a gentle gift: a pocket of calm to help you quieten your mind and soften your heart. The intention is simple—create peace in the present moment, without pressure or perfection. Letting go of worry beyond your control This segment is a compassionate call to set down "un-actionable worry"—the kind you can't do anything about right now. Pascale speaks directly to sensitive, caring souls who love deeply and therefore worry deeply, and offers permission to rest. Key reminder: you don't need to solve everything today. You just need to return to this moment. Strengthening trust and faith with supportive beliefs Here, Pascale introduces a trust-based belief you can practise daily: "All is well." "Life is always happening for me." "I place my trust in God and deepen my faith daily." You're invited to choose the phrase that resonates, and practise it not as a forced positivity, but as a gentle inner anchor. Evidence-based reflection: finding proof in your life To help the mind believe what the heart longs to trust, Pascale offers an evidence-based reflection: look for proof that you have been supported, carried, and strengthened. Prompts include: Moments that turned out better than expected Challenges that built resilience People and gifts you feel grateful for today This reflection helps shift your nervous system from fear to safety, and from worry to grounded trust. 4x4x4 breathing meditation (three rounds) Pascale guides you through a simple calming practice: Inhale for 4 Hold for 4 Exhale for 4 Repeat for 3 rounds You'll breathe in the gift of life and breathe out worry, while repeating your chosen mantra. The focus is on feeling even a small shift—2% lighter, 2% calmer—because that "first calm" matters. When worry returns: daily reset practices Because worry can return (especially during busy seasons), Pascale shares gentle resets: Let go of what you can't control Return to gratitude Remember you're doing the best you can Use your mantra as your default This turns the episode into a repeatable practice you can come back to throughout Christmas. Conclusion Pascale closes with a blessing of love and light, reminding you that peace is not something you earn—it's something you return to. This episode is an invitation to soften, breathe, trust, and become the peace you wish to see in the world. Merry Christmas, beautiful soul.

We are back for another Great Security Debate. In this episode: we discuss the potential role of agentic AI in security, from true “copilot” to automated decider of things, and whether LLMs are just a really cool search engine. Brian, Erik, and Dan also debate the means and extent to which we could replace ourselves with agents and what the inhibitors and risks are (spoiler alert: trust and survival of that agent after employment were big factors), and how do we train those agents of all the steps our brains take to make the decisions that the humans make, and do so without polluting it with aspirational versions of ourselves (think: Instagram vs Reality). And it all leads to a parenting lesson by Brian and an automotive process lesson by Erik? It's quite a debate. Thanks for listening! We might do one more episode in 2026, but if not have a wonderful holidays and a happy new year!Here's the quote that Brian references at the end of the episode by Tolstoy:Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to Keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. The value lies not in reducing "power" (computational energy) but in leveraging that processing power to achieve outcomes that are difficult, slow, or impossible for humans to manage alone.Thanks for listening!Show Notes:Reflex Security - https://reflexsecurity.ioMovie Recommendation: Multiplicity - https://geni.us/7vgKOPlaid Privacy Policy - https://plaid.com/legal/Prompts.ai - https://www.prompts.ai/enMusic Recommendation: Take On Me - A-ha - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914Book Recommendation: The Toyota Way - Book - https://geni.us/3LcpMBook Recommendation: Six Sigma - https://geni.us/CS8qlBook Recommendation: Matricide - https://geni.us/Xfn2MBBook Recommendation: The Lorax - https://geni.us/Fy8X4bPerplexity - https://www.perplexity.aiTV Recommendation - Pluribus (Apple TV+) - https://tv.apple.com/us/show/pluribus/umc.cmc.37axgovs2yozlyh3c2cmwzlzaSome of the links in the show notes contain affiliate links that may earn a commission should you choose to make a purchase using these links.

Why do some home service owners stay stuck while others build companies that run with predictability? Many think the problem is marketing or labor, but the real issue is a lack of clarity. When the owner is unclear, the team becomes unclear. That creates mixed messages, slow decisions, and systems that break under pressure. In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, Mike Abramowitz sits down with Christine Marie, a 4th-Gen trades professional and consultant to leaders in the home service space. Christine explains how Legacy, identity, and apparent self-awareness influence the way an owner leads. She shows how personal clarity impacts the brand message, decision-making, systems, customer experience, and team alignment. Christine guides business owners through vision work, emotional drivers, customer journey audits, and essential systems to help their businesses grow without personal burden. She shows how emotional intelligence, clear values, and strong relationships create predictable companies that scale confidently. Timestamps [00:00] Opening and guest introduction [02:48] Legacy and the fourth-generation story [07:26] Why Legacy matters for every owner [11:26] Bringing identity into the business [12:31] Vision, clarity, and the eulogy exercise [18:58] Prompts for self-reflection [22:48] How relationships affect business health [26:39] Systems, audits, and predictable operations [30:42] The customer journey from first search to follow-up [32:33] Why emotions drive buying decisions [36:20] Understanding how customers feel [39:56] A simple testimonial framework [42:41] Emotional transformation for the customer [45:53] The complete client journey and referral loop [49:50] Bottom of funnel strategies [50:50] The Knowing Framework [52:15] How to connect with Christine [53:30] What it means to be better than rich Key Quotes “Every owner has a personal brand, even if they ignore it.” “Your decisions today create the legacy your kids live with.” “Predictability comes from systems, not talent.” “Customers buy with emotion before they buy with logic.” “Relationships shape the future of your business.” Key Takeaways Get clear on who you want to be and what you want your business to become. Audit the whole customer journey from search to follow-up. Track how customers feel at every step. Use systems to remove friction and free up your time.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on a new flood threat in the Pacific Northwest.
In this episode of The Effortless Podcast, Amit Prakash and Dheeraj Pandey dive deep into one of the most important shifts happening in AI today: the convergence of structured and unstructured data, interfaces, and systems.Together, they unpack how conversations—not CRM fields—hold the real ground truth; why schemas still matter in an AI-driven world; and how agents can evolve into true managers, coaches, and chiefs of staff for revenue teams. They explore the cognitive science behind visual vs conversational UI, the future of dynamically generated interfaces, and the product depth required to build enduring AI-native software.Amit and Dheeraj break down the tension between deterministic and probabilistic systems, the limits of prompt-driven workflows, and why the future of enterprise AI is “both-and” rather than “either-or.” It's a masterclass in modern product, data design, and the psychology of building intelligent tools.Key Topics & Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction02:00 – Why conversations—not CRM fields—hold real ground truth05:00 – Reps as labelers and the parallels with AI training pipelines08:00 – Business logic vs world models: defining meaning inside enterprises11:00 – Prompts flatten nuance; schemas restore structure14:00 – SQL schemas as the true model of a business17:00 – CRM overload and the friction of rigid data entry20:00 – AI agents that debrief and infer fields dynamically23:00 – Capturing qualitative signals: champions, pain, intent26:00 – Multi-source context: transcripts, email threads, Slack29:00 – Why structure is required for math, aggregation, forecasting32:00 – Aggregating unstructured data to reveal organizational issues35:00 – Labels, classification, and the limits of LLM-only workflows38:00 – Deterministic (SQL/Python) vs probabilistic (LLMs) systems41:00 – Transitional workflows: humans + AI field entry44:00 – Trust issues and the confusion of the early AI market47:00 – Avoiding “Clippy moments” in agent design50:00 – Latency, voice UX, and expectations for responsiveness53:00 – Human-machine interface for SDRs vs senior reps56:00 – Structured vs unstructured UI: cognitive science insights59:00 – Charts vs paragraphs: parallel vs sequential processing1:02:00 – The “Indian thali” dashboard problem and dynamic UI1:05:00 – Exploration modes, drill-downs, and empty prompts1:08:00 – Dynamic leaves, static trunk: designing hierarchy1:11:00 – Both-and thinking: voice + visual, structured + unstructured1:14:00 – Why “good enough” AI fails without deep product1:17:00 – PLG, SLG, data access, and trust barriers1:20:00 – Closing reflections and the future of AI-native softwareHosts: Amit Prakash – CEO and Founder at AmpUp, former engineer at Google AdSense and Microsoft Bing, with extensive expertise in distributed systems and machine learningDheeraj Pandey – Co-founder and CEO at DevRev, former Co-founder & CEO of Nutanix.

Clarity doesn't come from cramming more into your calendar; it comes from reflection, structure, and the courage to trust your leadership intuition. We open up about three lessons that reshaped how we coach, lead, and build: embracing a blended coaching-consulting style, designing structure that expands capacity, and elevating intellectual property into true authority assets. These shifts turned an overloaded schedule into a focused operating system and reframed “scale at all costs” into “build with intention.”First, we dig into leadership identity and how it evolves when you move from formal titles to influence, impact, and results. You'll hear how reading the moment—offering space and questions when needed, or providing frameworks and direction when it matters—creates better outcomes for high performers. This is the practical art of discernment: serving clients and teams with the right approach at the right time, and trusting your intuition to guide the switch.Next, we tackle a common myth: time isn't the problem, structure is. We walk through specific practices that reduce overwhelm, from externalizing tasks and estimating realistically to protecting deep-work blocks and asking for real timelines before committing. You'll learn how structure supports energy, sharpens decisions, and prevents reactive mode, even during demanding weeks. The result is capacity you can feel and results you can measure.Finally, we reframe assets like courses, frameworks, and templates as strategic tools that strengthen authority and client experience. Instead of chasing scale for every asset, we show how codifying what already works accelerates onboarding, reinforces workshops, and creates consistency across engagements. You'll leave with prompts to identify your own underused IP and a path to leverage it with confidence.If this conversation sparks momentum, subscribe, share with a peer who leads, and leave a quick review so more high performers can find the show.

Aircrash investigators are calling for changes to rules governing airspace after two planes came close to colliding in midair. Transport Accident Investigation Commission chief investigator Louise Cook spoke to Corin Dann.
An atmospheric river is hammering Washington state with days of heavy rain, pushing rivers from the Canadian border to southwest Washington into moderate to major flood stage. Gov. Bob Ferguson on Wednesday signed a statewide emergency declaration, activated the Washington National Guard through the end of the month and said he'll seek fast federal help as officials warn that “lives will be at stake in the coming days.”This report details how much rain is falling along the western Cascades, why the Skagit River is a chief concern as it threatens to top its 1990 record by about four feet upriver, and how local and state agencies are preparing to evacuate roughly seventy‑five thousand people from low‑lying areas. It also covers major road closures — including a fifty‑mile shutdown of Highway 2 — and what emergency managers expect as more wet weather looms next week. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/historic-flooding-prompts-wa-governor-to-declare-emergency/#WashingtonState #Flooding #PublicSafety #StateOfEmergency #SkagitRiver
The holidays promise joy, but for many they amplify grief, overwhelm, and unspoken expectations. In this episode, we explore why December can feel so heavy and how to shift from survival mode to genuine connection through emotional maturity. You'll hear a powerful client story that traces seasonal stress back to an ungrieved loss, and learn how simple mindset shifts, like turning “have to” into “choose to,” can instantly lighten the load. We break down a practical toolkit for navigating the season: naming your emotions, identifying the thoughts beneath them, and taking responsibility for what you need. You'll also get exercises for redefining traditions, delegating with clarity, and creating holidays rooted in presence, boundaries, and love.If this speaks to you, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review.

Large gaps in language skills between children from different socioeconomic backgrounds emerge early and persist throughout schooling. In this episode, Ariel Kalil, Professor of Public Policy at UChicago's Harris School, discusses her research on "Chat2Learn," a technology intervention that sends open-ended conversation prompts to parents' phones. The low-cost behavioral nudge increases vocabulary, encourages back-and-forth conversation, and fosters curiosity in young children.
Many coaches focus on giving answers, but what if the real key to transformation lies in asking the right questions instead? On today's show, Julia explores the art of asking powerful questions and how the right prompts can open the door to deeper reflection, identity shifts, and lasting change in your clients. She breaks down four specific types of questions that help clients uncover their own insight rather than being directed toward a solution and shares how this approach strengthens autonomy, builds trust, and leads to more meaningful breakthroughs. Tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 415 to learn how mastering thoughtful, well-crafted questions can elevate your coaching practice and help clients reach new levels of awareness and transformation.

Hey girlfriend, happy day after Thanksgiving. Maybe yesterday was really hard for you. Maybe you broke a boundary. Maybe you're beating yourself up right now. Maybe you barely survived Thanksgiving dinner and you're exhausted. You made it through. You're here. And today, we're going to talk about gratitude anyway. In this special mini episode, host Lindsey Nichol gets vulnerable about a season when she couldn't feel grateful for anything - when she was so trapped in her eating disorder that gratitude felt impossible. She shares what she's genuinely, deeply thankful for this season, and invites you to find your own gratitude too - even in the mess, even in the middle of the struggle. Because here's the truth: Gratitude doesn't require perfection. It doesn't require having it all together. It doesn't require that yesterday went well. Gratitude just requires being willing to look for the light, even in the hard. Plus: A special Black Friday opportunity to invest in yourself and your recovery (because the best investment you'll ever make is in your own healing). This is a quick dose of hope, vulnerability, and possibility for the day after Thanksgiving. You survived yesterday. Now let's find the gratitude together.

That's recovery. Your Gratitude Invitation What are YOU thankful for this season? It might feel hard, especially if yesterday was rough But look for it anyway - gratitude doesn't require perfection Maybe you're thankful you made it through Thanksgiving (even if messy) Maybe you're thankful for one person who showed up for you Maybe you're thankful you're still here, still fighting, still trying Maybe you're thankful for your body (even if you don't love it) because it's carrying you Maybe you're thankful that recovery is possible, even if you're not there yet Find it.
