For two decades, the cloud has been shaped by human developers writing code and managing its deployment. Now a growing share of production code is generated by LLMs with little human review. Because that code is not fully trusted, it increasingly runs in isolated, sandboxed environments. Meanwhile, AI agents are starting to operate infrastructure directly, by spinning services up and tearing them down on their own. Together these shifts raise the question of whether the cloud needs to be rebuilt for machine operators rather than humans. Render is a cloud platform designed for application deployment, by handling scaling, self-healing, and security to reduce operations work. Render has been adapting to the AI era by building tools that let agents deploy and debug applications directly, with added guardrails and security. Anurag Goel is the founder and CEO of Render. In this episode, Anurag joins Sean Falconer to discuss why so many teams end up rebuilding the same infrastructure on top of Kubernetes, what changes when AI agents become first-class users of infrastructure and the guardrails that shift demands, and why the economics of AI are pushing developers toward higher-level platforms that trade fine-grained control for speed and safety.Sponsorship inquiries:sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com The post Rebuilding the Cloud for AI Agent Code appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Episode #1174 Sometimes the biggest breakthrough in your marriage doesn't come from a grand gesture. It starts by taking responsibility for the things you've been avoiding.

What happened to the prophetic movement—and what will it take to rebuild it? Ken Fish and Joel Taylor sit down with John E. Thomas, leader of Streams Ministries International (founded by the late John Paul Jackson) and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026). Register: https://kingdomluminosity.org/John argues that the implosion of the prophetic over recent years is both the inevitable fruit of what was sown and the judgment of God—a purging meant to clear away defilement so a healthier generation can arise. He traces the warning signs back to the 1990s: creeping Gnosticism and universalism, divination dressed up as revelation, the loss of the fear of the Lord, and the teaching that imagination is revelation and discernment is unnecessary.The conversation keeps returning to the conference theme—consecration and holiness—and why a clean "lens" is essential to perceiving what God is actually saying.In this conversation:Why the collapse of the prophetic was both consequence and divine judgmentWhy true prophetic ministry includes justice and judgment, not only comfort"Imagination is revelation" and other dangerous errorsEmotional atmosphere vs. the genuine presence of GodHow the medium we learn through shapes the way we thinkWhy intercession is core to the propheticThe sons of Zadok—and treating the holy as holyWhy holiness keeps the lens of the soul cleanRegister for Luminosity

When sex starts feeling like one more thing on the to do list, it is easy to assume something is wrong with your relationship. But often, what is happening in the bedroom has a lot more to do with what is happening outside of it. In this episode, I sit down with marriage coaches and Marriage365 founders Meygan and Casey Caston for an honest conversation about intimacy in marriage, sex, resentment, mismatched desire, and why couples need to actually talk about the things they would rather avoid. For stepmoms, this conversation hits especially close to home. Blended family life can come with stress, complicated schedules, parenting conflict, emotional exhaustion, and resentment that slowly chips away at connection between partners. Meygan and Casey share practical ways couples can rebuild trust and intimacy, including why scheduling sex might actually help your relationship instead of hurting the romance. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why intimacy in marriage starts with trust, not sex • How resentment outside the bedroom can affect connection inside it • Why scheduling sex can actually create more anticipation and intimacy • How couples with mismatched sex drives can stop keeping score and start communicating They also break down their four Fs of a healthy sex life: foreplay, frequency, feelings, and fun, and share a simple way to start a conversation about sex with your partner without making it awkward or confrontational. If intimacy has started getting pushed to the bottom of the list, this episode is a reminder that connection rarely happens because you magically find the time. Sometimes you have to intentionally make it. Resources Mentioned Check out Marriage365.com The Marriage Habit by Meygan and Casey Caston Ready to feel less alone in your stepfamily journey?

Three years after her husband Jake died, Ashley Biddick returns to Resilient Souls as a regular contributor, drawing on both her own experience of loss and insights from her professional work as she explores what rebuilding can look like when life has changed.The focus is on what life looks like beyond the first raw days and weeks, into the months and years that follow when life still hasn't gone 'back to normal'. Ashley explores the ongoing physical effects of trauma, changed capacity and identity, and some of the secondary losses that can follow a life-changing loss. She talks about grief and joy coexisting, noticing small “glimmers” of hope, finding people who “speak the language of loss”, and sometimes taking the next step before you feel ready: doing it heartbroken, doing it lonely, doing it scared.Ashley and Stewart also return to the question of faith and the wrestle with God when suffering doesn't make sense. There are no neat answers, just a grounded conversation about living with what cannot be changed while making room for what might still be possible. In this episode, you'll discover:Why there may be no simple “back to normal” after life changing loss, and what rebuilding can look like instead How grief and trauma can continue to affect your body, energy and capacity long after the initial crisis Why major loss can impact your sense of identity, and how to begin making peace with the person you are becoming How grief and joy can coexist, and why small “glimmers” of beauty and hope can matter What it can mean to “do it heartbroken, do it lonely, do it scared” without simply telling yourself to toughen up How friends, community and faith can help when there are no easy answers and the road forward still feels uncertain … and much more.Explore More from Resilient Souls: Resilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Resilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Podcast⁠⁠⁠ or search ‘Resilient Souls' wherever you get your podcastsResilient Souls ⁠⁠⁠Blog on Substack⁠⁠Stewart's ⁠Book⁠⁠⁠Follow Resilient Souls on: ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠Instagram /⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠Get Involved or Reach Out: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Stewart to Speak⁠⁠⁠Support the Work⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact Us⁠⁠⁠Need Help?

It started last year as a pressure campaign at sea, with the United States seizing  tankers as part of what President Trump called a "total and complete blockade" of vessels carrying Venezuelan crude subject to US sanctions. It crescendoed on January 3, when US forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, bringing him and his wife to New York on narcoterrorism charges. Since Maduro's removal, confusion remains over whether—and to what extent—the US is controlling the country's oil sector. But one thing is clear: despite holding the world's largest oil reserves, Venezuela is producing at a fraction of its former levels, and its path to recovery is anything but certain. A national tragedy has only added to the instability. In June, twin earthquakes claimed more than 5,000 lives. While the country's energy infrastructure did not sustain significant damage, the quakes exposed deep fault lines in the country's political leadership and served as a stark reminder of an already long-standing humanitarian crisis in the region.   So what's the state of the energy sector and energy investments in Venezuela? How has the global energy crisis changed the calculus for prospective energy developers? What role is the Trump administration playing in the sale of Venezuelan oil? And where is oil production headed?  Today on the show, Jason Bordoff speaks with Luisa Palacios about the state of the Venezuelan energy sector, efforts around creating new policies to boost oil production, and the impact of the June earthquakes. Luisa is an adjunct senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University, where she previously served as head of research. Before joining CGEP, Luisa was chairwoman of Citgo Petroleum Corporation, the US refining arm of Venezuela's state oil company, PDVSA. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

The Unicorn Growth Formula: Operational Focus, Founder Mindset, and AI Restructuring with Cornelius SchmahlIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Cornelius Schmahl, the Founder of Unicorn Coach, angel investor, and former interim COO at Uber Moscow, to examine the distinct operational mechanics that separate hyper-growth billion-dollar enterprises from standard middle-market companies. Cornelius, a veteran scale-up executive and founder performance strategist, details how scaling a business requires an intentional alignment of psychological grounding, ruthless operational focus, and AI-driven organizational restructuring. This conversation delivers an essential strategic blueprint for founders, C-suite executives, and private equity advisors who want to eliminate operational fat, optimize executive decision-making, and leverage advanced automation to build agile, high-valuation enterprises.The Architecture of Hyper-Growth: Unlocking High-Leverage Execution and AI RestructuringThe primary bottleneck preventing mid-market companies and venture-backed startups from achieving exponential scale is a failure of executive focus, where leadership spreads critical capital and labor across low-yielding initiatives. Cornelius Schmahl explains that true high-leverage execution demands applying the 80/20 rule to ruthlessly "trim the fat"—identifying the core 20% of products, services, and operational touchpoints that generate the majority of enterprise value and cutting non-essential distractions. By auditing operations to isolate the company's most defensible asset, executives can rebuild corporate processes around automated software engines, consolidating legacy workflows and dramatically reducing administrative overhead. Rebuilding an organization around its core value proposition allows mid-sized enterprises to operate with lean, high-performing teams, freeing up capital while empowering founders to focus on visionary strategy.Equally critical to scaling an enterprise is the mental clarity and psychological resilience of the chief executive, whose internal state directly impacts every capital allocation decision. High-pressure corporate environments routinely induce founder burnout, leading to decision fatigue, unforced strategic errors, and systemic organizational drag. Integrating micro-habits like five-minute daily meditation sessions, structured breathwork protocols, and targeted executive coaching provides leaders with the psychological grounding necessary to navigate high-stakes market volatility calmly. Addressing personal blind spots and emotional triggers prevents leaders from making fear-based choices, turning personal self-regulation into a high-ROI executive skill that protects company culture and preserves long-term enterprise value.Ultimately, sustaining hyper-growth requires founders to distinguish between vanity metrics and true high-leverage business activities, ensuring every operational unit directly advances the primary corporate objective. Re-engineering legacy organizational charts through artificial intelligence and automated workflow pipelines enables companies to transition from bloated administrative overhead to agile, tech-enabled execution. By combining sharp market positioning, disciplined executive mental habits, and automated backend infrastructure, leadership can accelerate profit margins while reducing reliance on key individuals. When disciplined psychological grounding, ruthless operational focus, and AI-driven process automation are synthesized into a single growth framework, an enterprise eliminates operational friction, protects its bottom line, and predictably multiplies its market valuation.About Cornelius SchmahlCornelius Schmahl is the Founder of Unicorn Coach, an active angel investor, and an international scale-up strategist. Drawing from extensive executive experience—including serving as interim COO at Uber Moscow and coaching high-growth founders across Europe and North America—Cornelius specializes in helping business leaders scale operations and optimize performance. He is a recognized thought leader focused on helping executives eliminate operational bloat, master high-stakes decision-making, and deploy artificial intelligence to build sustainable, high-valuation enterprises.About Unicorn CoachUnicorn Coach is an elite executive advisory firm and scale-up consultancy engineered to help founders, C-suite executives, and solo entrepreneurs overcome operational scaling plateaus. The firm specializes in delivering comprehensive business audits, AI-driven process restructuring, high-leverage operational mapping, and founder mental performance coaching.

By standardizing internal corporate governance, eliminating non-essential workflows, and leveraging automated software tools, business leaders can transform an overwhelming daily operation into a highly structured, self-sustaining growth engine.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Four Las Vegas Raiders got into it Friday in Henderson. Two of them sat Saturday. Two of them took first-team reps. Nobody has asked Klint Kubiak to explain the difference — and that difference is the whole story of what this staff is building. Maxx Crosby tipped a pair of passes at Kirk Cousins' release point and caught his hand on the second one. Cousins grabbed him by the jersey. No punches, both finished practice. Kubiak said almost nothing Friday, went home, slept on it, and Saturday morning his QB1 and the best defensive player this franchise has had in a decade stood on the sideline through the entire 11-on-11 period in front of 90 teammates. But there was a second fight Friday. Jonah Laulu and Caleb Rogers went at it in the trenches. Rogers practiced Saturday, took first-team reps at right guard for a third straight day, and was on the playside of Ashton Jeanty's long touchdown run. The verdict: this staff is operating on a genuinely different standard than any Raiders regime since the move to Vegas — accountability that runs upward, not downward. And there's a falsifiable tell you can check by the Houston joint practice on August 18th. Also in this episode: Fernando Mendoza's first day with the first team, including three touchdowns and the snap issues nobody wants to talk about. Two on-air corrections. A national outlet that fabricated details and got syndicated to Yahoo. The Athletic's QB tiers, with Kirk Cousins landing 28th. The right guard competition and DJ Glaze's very unsettled hold on right tackle. Plus calls from Dave Casper the Ghost and Pastor Mike Behind Bars.

What if the fastest path to a six- or multi-6-figure expert business is refining what you already have, instead of adding more to it? In this episode, I'm walking you through a real case study from one of my three-hour strategic intensives with a registered dietitian who works with chronic skin conditions. She's excellent at what she does, with the client results to prove it, and her best month ever was still $7,000, with plenty of unpredictable months in between. I'm sharing the exact changes we made in that single session: why we doubled her price from $2,197 to $4,500, how we rebuilt her six-month program into a nine-month offer designed around the actual result, the friction problem that was quietly killing her sales conversations, and the marketing plan we built without a single Instagram post in it. If your income swings between great months and crickets, or you've quietly started backing off your marketing because it doesn't seem to be working anyway, this episode will show you how simple the fix can be. Timeline Highlights [02:49] – Meet the client: a highly skilled dietitian whose best revenue month was $7,000, and why that number made sense [05:28] – The inquiry ghosting cycle, and how it quietly convinces expert women to stop marketing altogether [08:09] – Running the math out loud: why her $2,197 program made her 10K goal impossible before marketing even started [11:18] – The trap of setting your prices by looking at what your peers charge [12:54] – The luxury experience myth, my $1,200 laser treatment story, and why people pay for outcomes [18:31] – Moving the program from six months to nine, because that's when her clients get the full result [20:42] – Finding the three-phase framework that was hiding inside her existing client process [26:21] – Doubling the price to $4,500, and the confidence check I run before any client raises a price [29:30] – The sales process teardown: a $55 mystery consult, no visible pricing, and a friction problem disguised as a demand problem [36:50] – Rebuilding her website around conditions instead of programs, and the difference between showing and telling [41:00] – Building a marketing plan with zero social media: discovery, depth, and increasing your surface area of luck [47:26] – Why the fast stuff comes first, and the deadline we pulled a full month closer Top Quotes from the Episode "People pay for outcomes. Everything you put into your program is there to make the outcome more likely for the right person." "You can't hit a goal that isn't compatible with your numbers. It doesn't matter how well the plan works if the math was never going to get you there." "Selling is leading somebody to what they already want. You share the process, the timeline, and the honest truth of what it takes, and you let them decide." "She thought she had a demand problem. What she actually had was a friction problem." "You're allowed to have standards. Protecting your calendar from people who aren't a fit is respectful to them and to you." "The online world has convinced experts that social media is the price of having a business. It's one tool, and if you hate it, pick a different one." "For an established expert, the fastest way to more revenue is usually subtraction: cutting and refining what already exists until it's the straightest path to the goal."

You may not be recovering from a workplace injury, but you may be recovering from disappointment, rejection, self-doubt, or a version of your career that no longer feels aligned.This episode will help you ask better questions about your career, including:What story am I telling myself about what I can and cannot do?Where am I waiting to feel ready before I take action?What evidence do I already have that I can adapt, learn, and grow?What would change if I stopped trying to control other people's reactions and started owning my story more fully?Joe's journey reminds us that building your Mid-Career GPS is not about having every step figured out. It is about taking the next step, learning from what happens, and trusting that progress often comes from action.Memorable Ideas from the ConversationOne of the strongest messages Joe shares is that mistakes are your friend. That is a powerful shift for anyone in a job search, career pivot, or leadership transition. Too many mid-career professionals wait for the perfect plan, the perfect resume, the perfect answer, or the perfect timing. Joe's story challenges that thinking.He reminds us that action creates clarity.He also shares why telling your story matters. Whether you are interviewing for a new role, networking with someone in your industry, talking with a potential client, or trying to build credibility in a new field, your story can become one of your greatest assets. But only if you are willing to tell it.Listen to This Episode If You Are:Considering a career pivot or career changeRebuilding confidence after a professional or personal setbackFeeling stuck in your current job or career pathTrying to find clarity about what comes nextPreparing for interviews and wondering how to tell your storyLearning how to lead yourself through uncertaintyStruggling with fear, self-doubt, or perfectionismLooking for inspiration to take your next stepConnect with Joe MazzarelloJoe Mazzarello is a residential remodeling and renovation business owner based in Ohio.

Today, he continues to grow his business, train his nephew, and build something meaningful for the long term.Instagram @joey.mozzarella Final ThoughtsIf you are in a season where your career feels uncertain, Joe's story offers an important reminder: you do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. You can take the next step, learn from what happens, and adjust along the way.Your career does not have to look the way it used to in order to be meaningful.

I would be lying if I said it has been an easy transition back into my business after having my second baby. I've made so many big decisions since she came into my world, and I have to give myself credit for that. Even then, I've struggled with slowing down, with feeling confused and uncertain about what my Next Chapter will be. And somehow, in between all the confusion, I am more certain than ever that I want to continue to serve Latinas and help them become who they are meant to be on this earth. It is wild because I, too, am right in the middle of the unknown. But there is one thing I have always carried with me: the idea that lo vamos a lograr juntas. I now understand that this statement was far bigger than the played-out phrase we repeatedly hear in the women's empowerment space. That together, we are stronger. Yes, we most definitely are. But we are stronger because we are literally going through the ebbs and flows of life, motherhood, and womanhood, juntas. We are stronger when we are vulnerable enough to say it out loud: "I don't have it all figured out." But hey, neither do I. So how about we figure this out together? That is honestly how this all started. The different workshops I would host at the beginning of Mujerón Movement weren't because I was an expert in them. It was because I, too, was struggling and wanted to grow. And then I decided to create a program with all the knowledge I had learned and share it with other amigas. So here I am, once again, rebuilding. Not from zero, because I have been here before. I know the road. I know it won't be easy, though. And just because I know the road, that might make it even harder. Así que, si tú también estás ahí, once again, vamos a lograrlo juntas, amiga. Because we worked way too hard to give up now. I hope you feel seen and held by this vulnerable share. Sending you so much love as we step into the Next Chapter. Sonia

How do you bring back one of television's most beloved environments when almost none of the original scenery or plans still exists?Emmy-nominated Production Designer Denise Pizzini and Set Decorator Bethany Barton reveal how their team recreated the original Muppet Theatre for the Disney+ special The Muppet Show.Using screenshots, extensive research and one surviving drawing of Kermit's backstage office, they reconstructed the theatre's architecture, auditorium, backstage spaces, practical lighting and decades of beautifully controlled clutter.Denise and Bethany explain the hidden engineering required to design simultaneously for Muppets, puppeteers and human performers—from elevated stages and hollow counters to removable chair backs, adjustable furniture and performer pits.They also take us inside Sabrina Carpenter's glittering cowboy bar, Miss Piggy's Bridgerton-inspired ballroom, the Bayou musical number and Gonzo's practical stunt set with real fire and sparks.It's a detailed look at nostalgia, scale, fabrication and the high-stakes scavenger hunt required to make Jim Henson's world feel as though it never stopped living.Hosted by Emmy-winning Set Decorator Kim Wannop.

George Wright III interviews real estate investor and Lifetime Cashflow Academy founder Rod Khleif, who recounts immigrating from the Netherlands, rising from poverty, and learning that mindset drives 80–90% of success. Khleif describes owning thousands of houses and apartment units, then losing $50 million in the 2008 crash despite a 30% loan-to-value, and recovering by treating failures as “seminars” and not tying identity to any “vehicle” like real estate or business. He shares daily “I am” identity statements, goal setting as life design, and principles of decision, first action, strengths-based teamwork, peer groups, and focus (noting many top performers meditate). He discusses current opportunities amid fear, cautions for passive investing, promotes resources at Rod's Links, and explains his fulfillment-focused foundation, including feeding over 160,000 children and other local giving initiatives.00:00 Meet Rod Khleif01:38 From Immigrant to Real Estate03:02 Mindset Makes Millions03:57 2008 Crash and Recovery05:42 Vehicle Not Identity06:48 Daily Identity Habits08:42 Shift to Multifamily10:50 Opportunity in Fear11:51 Cashflow Academy Mission13:07 Asset Classes and Advice13:32 Guidance for Uncertainty14:05 Free Resources Plug14:20 Why Goals Matter15:04 Vision Board Planner15:59 Goal Setting Steps16:45 Decide Then Act17:28 Strengths And Peer Group18:22 Focus And Meditation19:46 Mastermind Room Strategy20:54 Giving Back Foundation23:31 Achievement Vs Fulfillment24:34 Where To Connect25:03 Final TakeawaysThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

*Content warning: this episode discusses sensitive material including sexual assault, death threats and mental health grapplings. A year after a breakdown following the public resurfacing of a painful chapter, Jess Elgene is on the pod telling her side of the story, from start to finish.In 2014, a former romantic partner accused Jess of sexual assault while they were both students in college. Jess maintained her innocence, and was found unanimously not in violation by their university. Last year, the allegation resurfaced on social media, resulting in backlash beyond the online death threats and hate comments. Jess was kicked off of two comedy teams and pulled from various show lineups. Though she received plenty of support in private, only a few of her peers shared their support publicly. Now, nearly a year later, Jess reflects on her public mental breakdown, what actually happened in college and rebuilding her relationship with her comedy peers, her career and herself.Follow Jess ElgeneWatch Jess's special

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your current circumstances, but the identity you've accepted for yourself?  In this raw and deeply inspiring episode, former NFL player, author, and identity coach Anthony Trucks shares his powerful story of overcoming trauma, shifting identity, and mastering subconscious intuition. From entering the foster care system at age three and navigating childhood abuse, to earning a Division I football scholarship, playing in the NFL, and enduring a life-altering divorce and financial collapse—Anthony reveals what it truly takes to rebuild your life from the inside out.  In this conversation, we explore: • The Neuroscience of Intuition & Trauma: How growing up in foster care rewired Anthony's brain to read human facial expressions with remarkable accuracy to ensure survival.  • Physical & Mental Toughness: What it takes physically and mentally to transition from a foster child to an elite NFL athlete.  • Situational Awareness & Threat Detection: Trusting your gut feeling in high-stakes environments, travel safety, and harnessing a "warrior" energy when needed.  • Overcoming Rock Bottom: Anthony's darkest moments following the end of his NFL career, a failing gym business, and a painful divorce.  • An Unbelievable Marriage Reconciliation: How Anthony and his ex-wife both did the deep internal work required to heal individually and rebuild their marriage stronger than ever.  • Modern Fatherhood: Overcoming ego and pride to set a healthy example for your children.  Anthony's insights offer a masterclass on turning life's rough seas into your greatest advantage.

(Aug 11, 2026) State and volunteer crews have been working this summer to clean up and rebuild the trail through Avalanche Pass; the state is pushing for more adults without college degrees to enroll in a program that allows them to attend community college for free; and we have a conversation with Kingston Whig-Standard reporter Gare Joyce who has written a series of articles for the paper, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the time the Summer Olympics came to Kingston.

I first asked myself this question a number of years ago, and it still finds me at the start of nearly every new season of growth. Who do I need to be to hold what I'm building right now.This one's short and it's honest. The identity that built your current success isn't automatically built for your next one, and that's not a problem to solve.Full show notes, transcript, and chapters at sheilabotelho.com/618✍️ Sheila's Notes - The reflections I write only here.

What happens when rapid success becomes unsustainable?For Colin Hodge, the answer came through a painful lesson.After building a startup that reached 1 million users in roughly three months, Colin found himself under enormous pressure—scaling infrastructure, recruiting a team, experimenting with growth tactics, and dealing with a major trademark lawsuit. Then Apple told him his app would be removed from the App Store within 24 hours.He eventually found himself sitting on the floor of his San Francisco apartment, overwhelmed and crying in the shower.That moment became a turning point.In this episode of Second Life Leader, Colin joins Doug Bird to talk about the psychology that helped him rebuild—not just his company, but his approach to entrepreneurship itself.They explore what it means to get comfortable with discomfort, stop living for other people's approval, understand customer psychology, and build systems that allow sustainable growth instead of frantic growth.TL;DRThe psychology behind how you work may matter just as much as the strategy you're using.Colin's biggest lessons include:* Get comfortable being uncomfortable.* Stop building your life around other people's approval.* Be authentic without confusing authenticity with performance.* Understand your users' psychology and meet them where they are.* Focus on the variables you can actually control.* Treat business decisions as hypotheses that need to be tested.* Don't wait for perfection before putting ideas into the world.* Let data drive your decisions.* Build systems that allow small wins to compound over time.The goal isn't to swing for the fences every time.It's to develop the discipline to keep getting on base.Memorable Lines“I need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.”“The worst that happens is people see you're trying.”“I don't have to perform for this.”“It's not lack of planning, it's just lack of fakeness.”“You can't control the outcome. You can control the process.”“What's the hypothesis?”“If you're swinging always for the fences, then you need to take a hard look and be like, are you okay with the one out of a thousand going there?”Guest: Colin HodgeColin Hodge is a repeat founder who has grown startups to millions of users and has experienced both rapid growth and painful setbacks.His experience ultimately led him toward a more sustainable approach to entrepreneurship—one grounded in psychology, behavioral science, experimentation, and understanding the people using his products.A major part of that approach is what Colin calls “decision engineering”: understanding the cognitive biases and psychological factors that influence the small decisions users make throughout their journey.Why This MattersEntrepreneurship often rewards the appearance of certainty.Social media shows the successful launch. The funding announcement. The growth chart. The bestseller.It rarely shows the breakdown in the shower.But failure, uncertainty, and messy rebuilding are often part of the actual process.Colin's story is a reminder that sustainable growth isn't necessarily about finding the biggest possible opportunity or constantly chasing the next growth tactic.Sometimes it's about understanding the game, identifying what you can control, testing your assumptions, and doing enough repetitions to learn what actually works.As Doug puts it through the baseball analogy: focus on the strike zone, not the result of every swing.Because in an uncertain world, you can't guarantee every outcome.But you can build a process that gives you a much better chance of creating the outcome you want.Listen to the full conversation with Colin Hodge on Second Life Leader.

When Ralph Brewer's marriage ended in infidelity and divorce, he was left with three young kids, a shattered sense of identity, and no real support system.

Sexual intimacy can be a powerful source of connection in marriage, but shame, avoidance, unrealistic expectations, and differences in desire can quickly create distance. Licensed professional counselor and certified sex therapist Vanessa Cushing joins Dave and Liz to discuss desire discrepancy, performance anxiety, pornography, sexual trauma, and the importance of honest communication. Learn how couples can stop blaming each other, build emotional safety, and approach sexual intimacy as a team focused on connection rather than performance.The opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in this podcast do not necessarily reflect the views of the Utah Marriage Commission.Takeaway of the Day Vanessa Cushing: Talk to each other and stop blaming each other. Desire and intimacy improve when couples have hard conversations, approach challenges as a team, and consistently do the small things that strengthen connection. Liz Hale: Desire is a team effort. Sexual challenges are not simply one partner's problem, and understanding the deeper emotional or psychological factors behind sexual behaviors can help couples respond with greater compassion. Dave Schramm: Safety and connection are foundational to healthy sexual intimacy. Couples can strengthen their relationship by communicating openly, being vulnerable, and seeking professional help when challenges feel difficult to resolve alone. Vanessa's Resources: Website: https://www.cushingcounseling.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cushingcounseling/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@vanessacushing TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cushingcounseling Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Cushing-Counseling/61578982936946/  Happy Hacks: 101 Science-Backed Ways to Boost Happiness, Reduce Stress, and Build a More Meaningful Life.Available now starting at 99¢ on Amazon and Dave's Book StoreWritten by Dr. Dave Schramm, this practical and uplifting new book offers simple, research-based strategies to help you build greater happiness, strengthen resilience, reduceThe opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in this podcast do not necessarily reflect the views of the Utah Marriage Commission.Visit our site for FREE relationship resources and regular giveaways: Strongermarriage.org  Podcast.stongermarriage.orgYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrongerMarriageLifeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@strongermarriagelifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/strongermarriagelife/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strongermarriage/Facebook Marriage Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/770019130329579Dr. Dave Schramm: http://drdaveschramm.comhttp://drdavespeaks.com Dr. Liz Hale: http://www.drlizhale.com/ 

Send us Fan MailWaiting for an apology is its own kind of prison, and they hold the key on purpose.In this episode, we unpack what is actually happening inside you when you cling to an apology that may never come. Bianca opens with a client who cannot let himself heal because getting better feels like letting the people who harmed him off the hook. We get into the bulldozer and the house, why an apology can never rebuild what was demolished, and the difference between reconciliation and repair. Emilia breaks down the unconscious expectations we carry into rupture, why naming the impact feels like admitting the harm was okay, and how the nervous system is really reaching for safety, not words. We land on the hard truth: an apology is a nice to have, not a need to have, and your pain was already real without their acknowledgment.The how to apologize guide mentioned in this episode, from Emilia and Alan on The Conscious Couples podcast:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KVsyimNpa2-XBOlWBY52mzp3VsD0ZQLP/view?usp=sharingHere's a related episode that builds on today's conversation:#521 | How to Trust Yourself and Eliminate Self-Doubt - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000776557116Learn more about:

Have you ever reached the end of the day, handled everything you needed to handle, and still felt like something was missing? You go to work. Pay the bills. Take care of your family. Do what people count on you to do. From the outside, everything may look fine. Inside, you may feel stuck, worn down, or like you are living on autopilot. In this episode of No Sitting on the Sideline Dad, Joe talks with Dr. Kim Nugent about what happens when you know you want something different from your life but are not sure how to begin. Kim shares her own story of reaching the top of her career in hospitality while still feeling pulled toward something else. She eventually went back to school, earned her doctorate, became a university faculty member, and later served as a university president. Joe and Kim talk about limiting beliefs, fear, getting comfortable, and the stories people tell themselves about why they cannot make a change. They also dig into a question many people face as they get older: Is it too late to start something new? Kim talks about learning Latin dance at 50, writing her first book at 60, and meeting a 92-year-old woman who was writing her first book. Her message is simple: age does not automatically close the door. Joe also shares something many working adults may relate to. You can have a good job, pay your bills, and still feel like you want something with more meaning. In this conversation, you will hear about: • How to recognize when you are living on autopilot • What limiting beliefs actually sound like in everyday life • Why fear often shows up when you try to change • The difference between setting a goal and creating a bigger vision for your life • Why taking one small step each day can matter • How parents can help their kids challenge the words "I can't" • The three simple words Kim uses to interrupt limiting thinking: "Up until now" • Why it may not be too late to try something you have been putting off Kim also explains the four areas she uses when helping people think about the life they want to build: • Health and well-being • Love and relationships • Vocation and self-expression • Freedom with time and money If you have been thinking, "There has to be something more than this," this conversation may give you a place to start. You do not need to have the entire plan figured out. Sometimes the first step is simply asking yourself: What would I love?

What comes after you build and sell the company that has defined your entire adult life?Alex Lieberman co-founded Morning Brew as a college student after noticing that traditional business news felt dense, dry, and disconnected from the way young professionals wanted to consume information.

When a natural disaster destroys a home, the mortgage servicer is one of the first calls a homeowner makes. What happens in those first days and weeks can determine whether a family rebuilds — or falls through the cracks. In this episode of Connect, California MBA CEO Paul Gigliotti sits down with Ron Malik, Senior Vice President of Default Servicing at Dovenmuehle Mortgage, one of the nation's most experienced mortgage subservicers. Dovenmuehle has been an instrumental partner in California MBA's wildfire recovery and rebuilding work — bringing the operational expertise that turns strong policy ideas into solutions that actually work for homeowners. This is the conversation behind the work. In this episode: - What a servicer's disaster response actually looks like from day one — proactiveness, task force deployment, and identifying impacted borrowers immediately - How Dovenmuehle balances speed, empathy, efficiency, and investor requirements all at once during a disaster - What forbearance really is — and why it has to be clearly explained to every homeowner before they sign - Where the rebuild process breaks down: insurance proceeds, draw schedules, inspections, liens, and the gap between what insurance pays and what rebuilding actually costs - Why the $100 million California Disaster Rebuilding Fund matters — and why that solve isn't always available - How Dovenmuehle's participation shaped real legislative outcomes — helping California MBA move to neutral or supportive on key forbearance bills - Why no one can do this work alone — and what true servicer and trade association collaboration looks like in practice - What success looks like for wildfire families and participating servicers one year from now Connect is the California MBA's podcast where strategy, innovation, and leadership come together to shape the future of mortgage finance.

Chef Felicia Lacalle's story is about much more than food. The Tampa chef and partner at Quiote Tequilaria sits down with Walk-In Talk Podcast for an unfiltered conversation about addiction, divorce, single motherhood, failed partnerships, financial hardship, faith, and the long road back to herself. Felicia began cooking at a young age, inspired by her mother, her Mexican and Cuban heritage, and even childhood afternoons watching Julia Child. She went on to graduate from Johnson & Wales, spend more than a decade at Roy's, and eventually earn national recognition at Hemingway's—including a first-place win at the 2018 International Cuban Sandwich Festival. But behind the accolades were years of setbacks and painful choices. Felicia opens up about substance abuse, losing businesses, destructive relationships, rebuilding as a single mother, returning to faith, and learning how to recognize the patterns that nearly derailed her life. Today, she is entering a new chapter as a partner at Quiote Tequilaria, where her Mexican roots, Cuban influence, and decades of kitchen experience come together in food that is deeply personal. The episode also features two dishes prepared in the Walk-In Talk Media studio: duck enmoladas with Oaxacan cheese and a wild boar pork belly dish with boniato mash, charred baby leeks, and pickled mustard seeds. This is a conversation about resilience, accountability, faith, mental health, restaurant life, and what it takes to rebuild when the life you imagined falls apart. Featured Dishes During her Walk-In Talk Media studio session, Chef Felicia prepared two deeply personal dishes that reflect both sides of her culinary heritage. The first was Duck Enmoladas—house-made corn tortillas filled with duck confit, topped with pistachio mole, Oaxacan cheese from Salerno Dairy, crema, and chile de árbol pickled onions. Her second dish showcased Shogun Farms wild boar pork belly, slowly braised with sour orange, garlic and spices, served over brown butter boniato purée with charred baby leeks and pickled mustard seeds—a modern interpretation inspired by her Cuban roots. Special thanks to our newest studio partner, Shogun Farms, for supplying the premium wild boar pork belly featured in this episode. Their commitment to responsible farming and exceptional specialty proteins helped bring this remarkable dish to life. Key Takeaways Success isn't about avoiding failure—it's about refusing to let failure define who you become. Faith became the foundation that helped Felicia rebuild her life after addiction, divorce, financial hardship, and personal loss. The restaurant industry can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also magnify mental health struggles, addiction, burnout, and unhealthy lifestyles. Self-reflection, accountability, and therapy were essential in breaking destructive personal and generational patterns. Every setback—from failed partnerships to losing businesses—became preparation for the opportunity she has today. Roy's shaped Felicia's discipline, leadership, and respect for kitchen culture, providing the foundation for her career. Great food is deeply personal. Life experiences, heritage, and emotional growth ultimately influence what ends up on the plate. Leadership begins with culture. Felicia believes respect, accountability, and creating a healthy kitchen environment are just as important as culinary skill. Building something meaningful often requires walking away from situations—even successful ones—that no longer align with your purpose. Quiote Tequilaria represents more than a restaurant; it represents a lifetime of perseverance, healing, and finally feeling at home in her craft. Breaking generational cycles requires intentional choices, discipline, and the courage to confront your own mistakes. Hospitality professionals don't have to face their struggles alone.

Have you ever found yourself ignoring your body's signals, overriding your intuition, or constantly looking outside yourself for the "right" answer? In our modern world, we're surrounded by advice on what to eat, how to exercise, and the perfect wellness routine to follow. While information can be incredibly valuable, it can also disconnect us from the most important source of wisdom we have, ourselves. In this episode, Colette explores why self-trust lies at the heart of healing and how Ayurveda gently guides us back to our own inner wisdom. Rather than encouraging dependence on practitioners or protocols, Ayurveda teaches us to become students of ourselves through observation, awareness, and consistent daily practices. Whether you're new to Ayurveda or have been practicing for years, this episode is a gentle reminder that your inner wisdom hasn't disappeared, it may simply need your attention. In this episode, you'll discover: Why self-trust is one of the foundations of healing How modern life encourages us to override our body's natural signals The hidden cost of constantly seeking external answers Why Ayurveda is a personalized system of health rather than a one-size-fits-all approach How observation and self-awareness help strengthen intuition Why symptoms can be viewed as valuable messages from the body The importance of dinacharya (daily routine) in rebuilding trust with yourself Why consistency matters far more than perfection A simple daily practice to help you reconnect with your body's wisdom The Elements of Ayurveda Podcast Community was created for those who wish to go deeper into Ayurveda, together.

John Hart signed the Declaration of Independence knowing it would make him one of Britain's most wanted men. His extraordinary story reveals the true meaning of American grit and the sacrifices that built the United States. Most Americans have never heard of Declaration signer John Hart, yet his life captures the courage, resilience, and unwavering conviction that made American independence possible. As British troops and Hessian mercenaries swept across New Jersey during the Revolutionary War, Hart fled his home, lost his wife, watched his thirteen children scatter, and saw his livelihood destroyed. Rather than surrender, he rebuilt his farm, returned to public service, and even hosted George Washington and 12,000 Continental soldiers before the Battle of Monmouth. As America celebrates its 250th birthday, this episode of the America's Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report Podcast uncovers the remarkable story of one of America's most overlooked Founding Fathers while exploring why his example of character, resilience, self-reliance, and civic responsibility remains just as relevant today. Discover how John Hart's story reveals the qualities that built the American Republic and why preserving freedom still depends on ordinary citizens willing to stand by their convictions. Our independence did not rest solely on famous figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why John Hart risked everything by signing the Declaration of Independence How the Revolutionary War transformed a respected New Jersey farmer into a hunted fugitive The heartbreaking personal sacrifices Hart endured, including the loss of his wife while living in hiding What American grit truly means and why conviction only matters when it faces real tests How ordinary citizens, not just famous Founding Fathers, built the foundation of American self-government Why John Hart's life offers timeless lessons about resilience, self-reliance, civic responsibility, and preserving freedom ⭐ Enjoying America's Founding Series?
