Podcasts about Rethinking

Membership | Donations | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts✨ About This EpisodeThis week I talk to Sam Arbesman, scientist-in-residence at Lux Capital and Research Fellow at the Long Now Foundation, weaving together and plucking at the ideas in his delightful new book, The Magic of Code: How Digital Language Created and Connected Our World…and Shapes Our Future. Sam is a brilliant scholar, a maverick mind, and a good friend—so even though we don't see perfectly eye-to-eye about just where the analogy of code as magic works and where it falls apart, that tiny bit of friction makes for a fascinating joint exploration into the liminal zones where our categories fray and their distinctions are constantly rewritten.In this episode, we discuss:• Sam's origin story as a code-lover (00:10:20)• Code as “algebra and fire” (00:14:17)• If code is magic, what is magic? (00:20:10)• Open-source development and open-ended innovation (00:25:48)• Rethinking the nature of “failure” in the so-called Technocene (00:32:12)• Navigating simplicity and complexity (00:38:44)• Acceptable and unacceptable sacrifices to the incomprehensibility of our technologies (00:45:02)• The squishy overlap between tech and biology (00:54:03)• The co-domestication of software bugs and people (01:03:22)• And the emerging age of ephemerality (01:15:55)It was, as it always is with Sam, a joy. I hope you get as much out of it as we did.This Saturday at 10 am PDT is the return of our monthly members hangouts.

In this episode, Charles Gambetta introduces his innovative bass position system that addresses traditional limitations in fingerboard comprehension. His method combines Roman numerals with Arabic numbers to provide contextual information that enhances physical and mental connections during play. Charles explains how starting students at the 'primary lock' position and focusing on finger placement and shift intervals improves intonation. He also demonstrates how this approach benefits various playing styles and has transformed his teaching approach. Enjoy, and be sure to check out Charles' article on this approach in the New York ASTA Journal.   Subscribe to the podcast to get these interviews delivered to you automatically!   Connect with us all things double bass double bass merch double bass sheet music   Thank you to our sponsors!

Father Ryan Boetcher | September 28, 2025 What does it mean to be truly wealthy? Drawing from the prophet Amos, Psalm 146, and Jesus's parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Father Ryan contrasts two visions of wealth: one that isolates us through accumulation, and God's "great economy" where wealth is measured by what we give away. Through stories ranging from "It's a Wonderful Life" to the Lakota people to St. Francis, this sermon challenges us to find "life that is really life."

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes a hard look at the cholesterol hypothesis and why it has failed to deliver true solutions for heart health. Instead of focusing on lowering cholesterol—a vital compound for hormones, brain function, and cellular integrity—he highlights the often-overlooked root cause: stiff, aging arteries. You'll learn how the blood vessels lose flexibility with age, stress, toxins, poor diet, and inactivity, and why this breakdown leads to high blood pressure and drives cardiovascular risk far more than cholesterol numbers alone. Jared explains the role of nitric oxide in reversing arterial aging and how natural boosters like beets, leafy greens, and amino acids support healthy nitric oxide production. This episode is about shifting the conversation: instead of suppressing what the body needs, learn how to encourage its own built-in repair and resilience mechanisms.Products:N.O.

Bryce Steinberg is a development economist, which means she studies how lower-income countries grow into more prosperous ones. More specifically, she studies how to help people in low-income countries build their “human capital” — a phrase social scientists use to describe things like getting more formal education, more professional training, or improving your health.As she tells Dan Richards on this episode of Trending Globally, part of the answer is well-understood.“We have to build the schools, we have to build the clinics, we have to get the roads, get the infrastructure in place so that people can access these things,” Steinberg explains. However, decades of development policy has made clear that access alone doesn't solve the problem, and supplying communities with such resources doesn't necessarily mean people will use them. Why not? That's what Steinberg studies. On this episode, Richards talks with Steinberg about her research, which seeks to better understand what she calls the “demand-side” of development policy: What makes people actually use the services that are available to them, and how to remove the barriers that stand in their way. They also discuss how development policy has evolved over the last few decades and how, with the dismantling of USAID, it may be poised to change once again. Transcript coming soon to our website.

Quantifying risk with hard numbers and statistics is a logical first step to improving others' understanding of potential outcomes, but there are ways we might do even better. There's a science to risk communication born from years of research that identifies effective strategies for bringing meaning to risk conversations with people of varying backgrounds and numerical abilities. On this episode of The Behavioral Divide, presented by Avantis Investors®, UCLA Professor Hal Hershfield speaks with Professor Ellen Peters from the University of Oregon and Mark Meredith, a certified financial planner and founder of Meredith Wealth Planning. Together, they dive into findings from the research and practical application to uncover methods for better risk communications.

The internet turned pelvic floor training into a turf war—“always Kegels” on one side, “never Kegels” on the other. We cut through the noise with a clear, evidence-backed framework that shows how to build strength, practice relaxation, and keep moving with confidence through pregnancy.We start by grounding the conversation in what the research actually supports: pelvic floor muscle training can reduce postpartum urinary incontinence and help many pregnant athletes and recreational movers maintain function as load increases. From there, we zoom out to the system that matters most—the diaphragm, abdominals, hips, and pelvic floor—and explain why coordination beats clenching. You'll hear how to choose your focus based on your starting point, what symptoms to watch, and why both contraction and full release are essential skills for labor, lifting, and daily life.Together, we map a practical plan you can live with: simple tests to decide when to prioritize strengthening, how to practice relaxation without overthinking it, and easy “habit cues” to fit training into a full schedule. We also challenge the myth that strengthening blocks relaxation during pushing and show how education and timing are the real game changers. Whether you're entering pregnancy with previous leaks or feeling strong and symptom-free, you'll learn how to adapt training to your week, trust your body's signals, and stay aligned with long-term pelvic health.If this helped you drop the confusion and find your middle ground, follow the show, share it with a friend who lifts, and leave a quick review with your biggest takeaway. Your questions shape future episodes—what should we unpack next?___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

Most women cringe when they hear the word sales. It feels slimy, pushy, and completely out of alignment with who we are. But what if sales wasn't about pressure at all—what if it was simply about conversations, connection, and service?In this episode of Her Faith at Work, I sit down with Stefani Pady, founder of Women, Worship and Work and GLS Coaching and Consulting. After two decades in corporate America and a life-changing season of reading the Bible cover-to-cover, Stefani walked away from the burnout cycle to help women anchor their worth in God's truth and lead with confidence.We unpack how to rethink sales (without the smarm), why Jesus was the ultimate “salesman,” and practical ways to ask better questions, influence with integrity, and find the right clients without losing yourself in the hustle. Whether you love sales, hate sales, or avoid it at all costs—this conversation will shift how you show up in business and ministry.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe moment Stefani realized her worth didn't come from quotas, bosses, or performanceHow reading the Bible cover-to-cover reshaped her life and workThe key perspective shift that makes sales less about “closing” and more about helpingWhy open-ended questions are the secret to better conversations (and better business)How Jesus modeled influence, storytelling, and bold invitationsPractical sales tips for introverts and entrepreneurs who'd rather “do the work” than pitchNotable Quotes“When we get our eyes on Scripture, everybody around us starts changing—even if our circumstances don't.” – Stefani Pady“Sales isn't about overcoming objections; it's about tuning into the right frequency with people.” – Stefani Pady“Leadership is influence—nothing more, nothing less. And to some degree, life is influence.” – Stefani Pady“When we walk in our calling because we've been with Jesus, even sales stops feeling salesy.” – Stefani PadyResources & Links MentionedConnect with Stefani: Women, Worship and Work | GLS Coaching and ConsultingJoin the Women, Worship and Work Bible Reading Plan: Sign Up HereExplore the Suited Membership: Learn MoreBook Mentioned: The Challenger Sale by Matthew Dixon & Brent AdamsonCONNECT WITH JAN:Here are all the best places and FREE stuff

What If Inclusion, Not Normalization, Was the Goal?Too often, conversations about autism happen without autistic voices at the table. In this episode, we talk with Ari Ne'eman, Assistant Professor at Harvard and co-founder of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, about the real divides in autism advocacy and what a better path forward could look like.Ari brings both lived experience and policy expertise, with service under multiple U.S. administrations, to examine how public policy shapes autism services, support, and the future of neurodiversity.This conversation challenges common assumptions and points toward values-driven autism advocacy—centered on communication, inclusion, and real quality of life.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

In this episode, Laurel and Sarah take a look at one of the most influential and controversial voices in women's health: Dr. Stacy Sims. Known for the phrase “women are not small men,” Sims has built her brand on the idea that women need entirely different training and nutrition strategies than men.Laurel and Sarah trace Sims' rise to prominence, the research she leans on, and the rhetorical playbook she uses on major platforms like the Mel Robbins Podcast, and the Huberman Lab podcast. They examine how Sims' is able to persuade listeners of her ideas, even though her catchy slogans and bold claims outpace the evidence.Rather than just fact-checking Sims' most dubious claims on cycle syncing, fasted training, cardio, and how women should train, this episode instead focuses on how Sims' messages are delivered. You'll listen for how Sims' and the hosts of these podcasts frequently employ persuasive tactics like appeals to authority, fearmongering, absolutist framing, pseudo-feminist virtue signaling, and what Laurel and Sarah call “mechanism theater” can make the weak evidence and shaky reasoning behind the claims sound stronger than it is. These strategies aren't unique to Sims; you'll start noticing these persuasive tactics everywhere, especially in menopause marketing and wellness content online.SIGN UP for the FREE CLASS for Bone Density CourseFOLLOW @MovementLogicTutorials on InstagramRESOURCESSims' TedX talk110: Fact-Checking Female-Specific Training & Nutrition Advice with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhDDebate between Sims and Colenso-Semple on Docs Who LiftPost Debate Interview on Barbell Medicine109: Hot Flashes, Cold Facts: Menopause Myths that Won't Die62: Make McGill Make SenseBulky mugSocial Post from Dr. Colenso-Semple about choice to use mechanistic, rat, or men's data108: Breathing for Bone Density?

Why aren't the things we buy made to last anymore? From furniture to everyday items, repairability has been quietly designed out of our lives—replaced by disposable culture and fast consumption. In this episode, we explore how we got here, why it matters, and what it will take to bring repair back to the center of craft. We'll dive into the lost art of making things REPAIRABLE again, the hidden costs of throwaway design, and the growing movement to create objects meant to be fixed, not discarded. Join us as we imagine a future where repair isn't an afterthought, but a defining part of craftsmanship.To watch the YOUTUBE VIDEO of this episode and the irreverent & somewhat unpredictable AFTERSHOW, subscribe to our Patreon:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (http://patreon.com/user?u=91688467) ⁠⁠⁠http://patreon.com/user?u=91688467

Global funding cuts are worsening emergency aid's weaknesses when it comes to the LGBTQI+ community. The Trump administration is explicitly targeting trans people. And gender-related programming is among the first to be cut as humanitarian groups scale back. But there are steps humanitarians can take today – even amid widespread budget cuts – to better respond to the needs of LGBTQI+ people in emergencies.

In this episode of the Tech World Human Skills podcast, Ben Pearce speaks with Radhika Dutt, a product leader and author of 'Radical Product Thinking.' They discuss the limitations of traditional goal setting and the negative impact of performance metrics on collaboration and motivation. Radhika introduces a new approach.

Traditional goal setting is outdated and ineffective. Puzzle setting and solving can drive better results. Performance metrics can lead to 'performance theater.' A clear vision is essential for effective goal setting. OHLs (Objectives, Hypotheses, Learnings) provide a framework for problem-solving. Collaboration is eroded by competitive goal setting. Feedback should focus on learning and adaptation. Real-world examples demonstrate the effectiveness of puzzle solving. Accountability should be based on problem-solving, not just metrics.

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about allyship. My guest this week is Julie Kratz, founder of Next Pivot Point and a longtime inclusion and allyship strategist. Julie pulls back the curtain on why words like “inclusion” and “ally” have become so charged, what's actually legal in this space, and how leaders at every level can use the power they already have to create cultures where people belong. We explore “power with” versus “power over,” how to spot your own sources of power, and why going back to basics like trust, self-awareness and clear measurement is the most practical way forward right now. We also discuss how to meet persuadable people where they are, start with a personal why, and build momentum together instead of burning out as a lone voice. About My GuestJulie Kratz has dedicated her career to allyship and inclusion.

Missed a stop? We've got you. This season's recap rewinds our best moments. Join hosts Mitti and Michelle as they recall tales of haunted nights aboard the Queen Mary, close encounters near Area 51, a record-breaking birder who can hoot like an owl, the rhinestone sparkle of Portland's 8 Seconds Rodeo, and the cuddly joys of goat yoga. Along the way, they share listener shout-outs, unexpected lessons, and a few dream guests they're already plotting for season three. (Kendrick Lamar, call us.) Best-of hits:  Spooky stays debate: Michelle vows never to sleep in a former hospital; Mitti would (barely) choose staying in an ex-morgue over risking Scary Mary's chilling grip in Skagway, Alaska. Alien encounters: From the UFO episode, Laura Krantz's creepy run-in at Area 51's gate and the mysterious Black Mailbox letters. Chef Preeti Mistry's real talk: Rethinking food as personal storytelling; plus a dash of spicy Top Chef tea. Bird-nerd joy: Noah Strycker's pitch-perfect pygmy-owl call and beginner-friendly ID tips. Black rodeo boom: Ivan McClellan's Eight Seconds—packed arenas and high-style Western flair. Mitti's already planning her outfit for the next one. Cheese Trail nibbles: Goat cuddles, Cougar Gold in a can, and Monterey Jack's unscrupulous origin story. Upcoming travels: Michelle's saying yes to oddball stops (barefoot hike near Flagstaff, Arizona) and plotting a trip to Belize or Portugal; Mitti's off to Jordan and a Rocky Mountaineer rail trip. Listener love: Michelle's dad's texts, DMs from fans, and special mailbag moments. Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.

What does real engagement look like in a math classroom—and how do we build it without losing rigor or pace? We sit down with North Penn's secondary math coaches, Melinda Lyon and Rebecca Rousseau, to unpack practical strategies that put student voice, collaboration, and authentic problem solving at the center of learning. We dive into the balancing act of agency and accountability, exploring how to honor standards and state tests while still offering choice and relevance. You'll hear how UDL-informed structures let students select pathways based on quick self-assessments, how station rotations can blend mini-lessons with targeted practice, and why building a “toolbox” of routines equips teachers to respond to the class they actually have that day. If you're ready to make math feel alive, this conversation offers concrete steps you can try tomorrow. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and tell us: what's one strategy you'll test in your next lesson?

High-severity wildfires that burn communities are obviously bad. But what about high-severity fire that burns in the backcountry? Guest Dr. Dick Hutto, Emeritus Professor of biology and wildlife biology at the University of Montana and author of the recently published book A Beautifully Burned Forest: Learning to Celebrate Severe Forest Fire, makes the case that high-severity fire has been unfairly demonized and this fire forms an important and transitory habitat type. Rethinking high-severity fire has policy consequences. Do we invest as heavily in fire risk reduction for wildlands or is funding better spent in and near communities? Do we invest as heavily in fire suppression where fires are burning far from human habitations? And what do we do after fires burn—do we log and replant or leave it be? Listen to hear Dr. Hutto's prescriptions.Want to learn more? Check out Dr. Hutto's website on fire ecology. Support the show

On Aon — Episode 92 Title: The Longevity Shift: Rethinking Aging in the Modern Workplace In the latest episode of Better Being, we examine longevity and how it is becoming an important topic for businesses.Susan Fanning, Aon's Head of Wellbeing for Asia-Pacific, and Professor Andrea Maier from the National University of Singapore examine how, as people live longer healthier lives, businesses can foster a diverse and dynamic workplace by harnessing the expertise of older employees. Key Takeaways:The distinction between “healthspan” (the number of years of good health) and lifespan (how long someone lives) is crucial — as is working to reduce the gap between the two.There is a common misconception that aging equals decline. Prof Maier explains that, while most people experience some poor health, much of the aging process is within our control.Employers have a significant role in promoting longevity by adopting proactive approaches to employee health. This includes considering biological age when determining job roles. Experts in this episode:Susan Fanning — Head of Wellbeing Solutions, APAC, Aon (Host)Prof Andrea Maier — National University of Singapore Key moments: (2:15) Some of our lifestyle habits are so poor that they will have a detrimental effect on our health and lifespans. (8:00) Rather than insisting on an abrupt end to a working life, it's better for employers and employees to have a gradual “step-down” process. (14:55) A switch in careers every 20 years or so will open people up to experiences of different topics, different workforces and different ways of working.  Additional Resources:3 Strategies to Improve Career Outcomes for Older EmployeesWorkplace Wellbeing | Aon Soundbites:Prof Andrea Maier:“So I would say it's not only a medical revolution, but it's societal revolution. And there was also a cultural revolution we are changing.” Susan Fanning:So, as we're seeing in terms of healthspans and lifespans increase, we're also starting to see that retirement systems as well as healthcare systems are coming under pressure.

In this episode Gary Friedman traces the evolution of mediation from a people-centered alternative to a lawyer-dominated process, explaining how courts and legal culture turned voluntary mediation into mandatory settlement practices. He describes the understanding-based model that returns decision-making to the parties, while showing how lawyers and the law can support - rather than control - constructive, creative agreements. Friedman offers practical takeaways for mediators and attorneys: how to keep clients at the center, use legal input as a helpful reference, expand what's negotiable so the “pie” grows, and find professional and personal satisfaction in fostering durable, human-centered resolutions.

Ever felt like so much of what happens at work is utterly meaningless, wasteful and backwards?You're not alone.In this eye-opening conversation with James Healy, founder of Behavior Boutique and author of "BS at Work," we dive deep into why modern work often feels like bullshit.What if the biggest problem in modern work isn't lack of effort, technology, strategy, or "better humans" but the simple fact that we keep designing for humans as if we were some logical machines… instead of messy, emotional, social creatures we are? James reveals the fascinating disconnect between how organizations design systems and how humans actually operate.We've built workplaces on the false assumption that humans are rational, logical beings making careful calculations, when in reality we're "social, emotional, tribal storytelling animals" who often make decisions based on context, ease, and what others are doing.Take modern communication crisis. The average worker now faces 153 Teams messages and 117 emails daily, with interruptions approximately every two minutes. This constant barrage prevents deep work, destroys focus, and fuels burnout. And with AI potentially supercharging this problem.But there's hope.James offers practical principles for creating more human-centered workplaces.What you'll learn:Why burnout is 100% preventable if we stop treating humans like machines.The shocking origin stories of tools like Myers-Briggs and DISC (and why they're no more valid than a Harry Potter quiz).Why e-learnings and endless policies fail.How context, not individual willpower, drives behavior change at scale.Why sometimes the most effective solution is illogical, creative, or has to do with removing, not adding things.The power of storytelling as a leadership tool for influence, motivation, and culture change.... and so much more!

Gavin Wilde, Nonresident Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, adjunct lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, and author of the recent paper, “Pyrite or Panic? Deepfakes, Knowledge and the Institutional Backstop,” joins Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss worries about deepfakes and their impact on information and society, the history of audiovisual media and what we can learn from previous evolutions in audiovisual technologies, and the role that fakery has played over the centuries in said media. They also discuss the social media and political context surrounding deepfake evolutions circa 2015; what happened, or not, with deepfakes in elections around the globe in 2024; and how institutions, policy, and law might pursue a less technology-centric approach to deepfakes and their information impacts.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
