Tom Verrilli is the chief product officer at Whatnot, a live shopping platform that's become the fastest-growing U.S. marketplace business in history, with over $8 billion in GMV. Before joining Whatnot, Tom was CPO at Twitch and director of product growth at Twitter (during one of the most turbulent periods in the company's history).In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why Whatnot's product team was founded on the premise “we regret that product management exists”2. How AI is reshaping the PM role3. What Tom looks for when hiring PMs4. The shift toward senior ICs doing the work5. How AI has transformed data science at Whatnot6. Tom's “play the accordion” mental model7. Why “hire great people and get out of their way” fails8.

Which strikers should Spurs actually sign after Kroupi's three-month injury? Enya Collins takes The Analyst through four data-backed alternatives — with Wyscout and Hudl doing the heavy lifting alongside the eye test. Charles De Ketelaere (Atalanta's 6'4" utility man with elite vision and ghost-runner instincts). Omar Marmoush (the ex-Man City winger-striker hybrid Enya compares to Arsenal's Zinchenko/Jesus level-up signings). Endrick (Real Madrid's 19-year-old Brazilian with the whole country behind him). And Ferran Torres — the Barcelona striker Roberto De Zerbi just called "the shark" in a press interview. Enya's #1 pick isn't the name most Spurs fans are shouting about — and Jim's mystery reveal at the end pays off De Zerbi's own coded hint. Considered, nuanced, data-driven analysis.

In this live-stream episode, Bryan is joined by Tim DeStasio, John Semmelhack, and Ty Branaman for a deep dive into residential ventilation — the often-overlooked "V" in HVAC. The group opens with quick life updates before launching into a wide-ranging conversation covering the three core ventilation strategies (circulation, extraction, and dilution), how tight home construction changes the ventilation equation, and why there is no single "magic number" that works for every house. A major theme is the physics of pressurization and depressurization. Tim walks through balanced strategies (ERVs and HRVs), positive-pressure approaches using ventilating dehumidifiers, and exhaust-only setups — explaining why exhaust-only, while still code-compliant, is his least favorite option due to the risk of pulling air from crawl spaces, attics, or combustion appliances. Using REDCalc, Tim demonstrates how even modest airflow can swing a tight house's pressure by ten or more pascals, and the group discusses how wind, stack effect, and seasonal conditions constantly change a home's natural air exchange rate. Ty brings a service-focused perspective, emphasizing measurement before intervention — checking CO2, carbon monoxide, and other indicators before jumping to solutions like bigger fans or added dehumidification. He shares real-world stories, including a rental home with elevated CO from an unvented gas range, and stresses that building science problems (duct leakage, poorly placed bath fans, depressurized combustion appliances) often hide behind symptoms that look like simple ventilation shortfalls. Large kitchen range hoods get particular attention: hoods moving 1,200 CFM or more can seriously depressurize a house, and the group discusses code thresholds for interlocked and powered makeup air, along with practical products like the Fantech MUAS. John rounds out the discussion with a walkthrough of a real high-performance home design, showing how an ERV can serve both whole-house outside air and continuous bathroom exhaust, how MERV 16 pre-filtration has become a common upgrade since the 2021—2022 wildfire smoke events, and how an ERV can be configured to boost into a makeup-air role when a range hood kicks on. The episode closes with a look at ventilating dehumidifiers, demand-controlled ventilation, the tradeoffs of leaving blower fans in the "on" position, and recommended resources for anyone wanting to go deeper into building science. Topics Covered The three ventilation strategies: circulation, extraction, and dilution How tight, high-performance construction drives the need for mechanical ventilation Calculating and understanding natural air exchange rates Balanced (ERV/HRV), positive-pressure, and exhaust-only ventilation strategies Using REDCalc to model pressurization and depressurization Why exhaust-only ventilation can create combustion safety risks Designing ventilation with flexibility beyond code-minimum rates Measuring first: CO2, CO, and pollutant levels before choosing a solution Large range hoods, makeup air requirements, and the Fantech MUAS system Passive capture and range hood geometry (corner hoods vs. center islands) A real-world high-performance home ERV design walkthrough MERV 16 pre-filtration for outside air following regional wildfire smoke events Using an ERV in a makeup-air configuration for range hood operation Ventilating dehumidifier strategy and sizing considerations Demand-controlled ventilation and the new ASHRAE 62.2-2025 guidance Risks of leaving blower fans in the "on" position, including duct leakage effects Recommended building science resources: Joseph Lstiburek, Allison Bailes, and TEC classes   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

The Trump administration announced a civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia — long sought by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — which experts fear could lead to the Saudis pursuing nuclear weapons in violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The deal allows for the kingdom to enrich uranium and reprocess plutonium on its own soil. In this episode, Joe Cirincione explains the potential danger to the U.S.-led nuclear order.

Most people think breathing is automatic.You inhale, you exhale, and that's it.But what if the way you breathe is quietly affecting your confidence, your voice, your posture, your sleep, your anxiety levels – and the way you show up when speaking in front of other people?In this episode, I sit down with breathing educator Jane Tarrant to explore a topic most business leaders never think about until something goes wrong: breathing habits.Jane explains why many high performers breathe from the wrong place, why “belly breathing” is often misunderstood, and how poor breathing habits can push people into stress, panic and disconnection from their audience.We also discuss the hidden connection between breathing and storytelling, and why the 30 seconds before a presentation matter far less than the habits you repeat every day.There's also a story involving split trousers in front of 200 people.What You'll Learn:• Why most speakers breathe from the wrong place• The difference between belly breathing and diaphragmatic breathing• Why upper-chest breathing increases anxiety• The role of posture in confident speaking• How tongue position changes your breathing• What the “D-spot” is and why it mattersIn This Episode:00:00 – When Jane's Trousers Split in Public03:16 – Belly Breathing vs Diaphragm Breathing05:05 – Why Chest Breathing Weakens Your Presence08:39 – The D-Spot Explained12:21 – The Link Between Breathing and Your Voice21:21 – The Signs You're Over-Breathing26:37 – Why Tongue Position Matters More Than You Think35:02 – The Surprising Link Between Storytelling and Breathing42:30 – Why Breathwork Doesn't Work for Everyone54:45 – The One Thing Jane Wants Everyone to RememberIf you want to feel calmer, more grounded and more connected when you speak, this conversation will change the way you think about breathing.We hope you enjoy it.———————Connect with Jane:Instagram: @linkbreathingWebsite: http://linkbreathing.co.uk/Recommended books:Breath by James NestorRose Loses Her Nose by Jane Tarrant#IdeasOnStagePodcast #Breathwork #BreathingHabits #PublicSpeaking #LeadershipCommunication

Most conversations about hard childhoods stop at “it affected them as kids.” Almost nobody asks what happens after — because childhood doesn't stay contained to childhood. It moves in with you as an adult, and it rarely announces itself when it shows up. In this episode, I walk through Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): what the research actually found, how it showed up in my own life, and four practical starting points for anyone who recognizes themselves in this.What ACEs Actually AreIn the 1990s, Kaiser Permanente and the CDC studied adults about specific categories of childhood hardship — abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction like addiction, untreated mental illness, or divorce. What they found wasn't just emotional; it reshaped how researchers understood long-term physical health outcomes too.How It Shows Up Decades LaterHigher rates of heart disease, chronic pain, weight and substance struggles — and a quieter pattern I know personally: being “braced for impact” even when nothing is actually wrong. I share how noticing this in my own stress data was the first real clue.It's Not a Life SentenceA high ACE score doesn't determine your future. The single biggest protective factor across every study was having just one steady, caring adult somewhere in the picture — and that changes the odds significantly.Step 1: Name ItYou can't fix a reaction you haven't identified. I walk through how naming a pattern (“I don't trust the future”) is the first real step, not a reason to stay stuck in it.Step 2: Your Body RemembersOld alarm systems fire in new contexts — a late bill, an unexpected email — and recognizing that pattern is different from being ruled by it.Step 3: Stability Is Not Wasted EffortRebuilding a calm, steady life as an adult recalibrates a nervous system that never had that as a baseline. It may take longer than it would for someone with a steady childhood, but it's not out of reach.Step 4: Everything Is FigureoutableThe bridge from naming the pattern to actually doing something about it — including the strange, personal story of how my own decades-long insomnia finally resolved.If any part of this sounds like your own life, it's not a life sentence — it's information. Naming it and building stability from here is where the real change starts.Recommended resource: The original ACE study questionnaire is short, self-scoring, and available online in about five minutes if you want a starting point.Find every show I do at jillfromthenorthwoods.com.This episode touches on childhood trauma and family dysfunction.

I'm Kay Daigle. Welcome to the Beyond Ordinary Women Podcast. Today, our guest is Nika Spaulding. Nika >> Hey, Kay. Kay >> Welcome, Nika. It's always so much fun to have you. And for those of you who know Nika, Nika has been on our podcast many times and so we're always thrilled when she has time to be with us. She has a masters of Theology from Dallas Seminary. She actually went to Oklahoma University, but we don't really care about that part. And she has a Doctor of Ministry degree from Northern Seminary. So she's Dr. Spaulding. But I will not call her that. I will call you Nika. Nika >> Thank you. Kay >> Nika is really sort of our go to person for hard questions and about teaching the Bible. And so today we are talking about teaching the Bible, and we're going to talk about using teaching aids in teaching the Bible. So Nika why do teachers need to use teaching aids? Nika >> Yeah, it's such a good question. And I don't know, Kay, if you've had like your philosophy of teaching develop on this. I would say for me, this is a more recent addition to how I teach the Bible, and that is—when I was a young teacher, I kind of wanted to teach all these cool, nifty things that maybe people didn't know on their own. And now I really, really just want to make the Bible stick. I want when people leave for them to remember what we talked about, for them to be able to meditate on it. And what I have found is, you know, you probably think back to your experience when you were in elementary, junior high, high school, and you think about lessons that really stuck. There's a chance that your teacher used some sort of teaching, some sort of illustration, or maybe they brought something in the classroom or something like that. I have discovered just over the years that using teaching aids, whether it's props or engaging the senses or something like that, really allows us to help the Bible stick and that's really the goal with the teaching aids. Kay >> Great. So what are what are some of the things that you do see things in the Bible that are teaching aids? Nika >> Yeah, no, absolutely. I think that's what's interesting about it is when you think about even let's say you want to teach wisdom, you go to the Book of Proverbs so often what you see from the Proverbs is they take stuff you already know, stuff from nature, stuff that you've experienced in life. And then they say, “Hey, this, this is what that's like.” So a perfect example is you might talk about honey is how the Word of God is. It's so sweet, right? And if you've ever tasted honey, especially pre modern food where we have sugar at our fingertips at all times, you kind of think about how like, am I? I'm sure in my pantry right now I can eat sugar, but in the ancient days, having that ability, honey, was a really sweet experience. So to compare that to the Bible, we see how the Bible also uses teaching as Jesus does. This in his parables all the time.

In this episode of The Private Equity Podcast, Alex Rawlings speaks with Adam Crandall, Chief Revenue Officer at Addtronics, a private equity-backed platform of robotics and automation companies.Adam shares how he helped quadruple revenue at a founder-led automation business before its successful exit. He explains why growth begins with putting the right people in the right seats, rather than relying solely on processes, industry experience, or technology.The conversation explores how private equity firms and portfolio company leaders can identify attractive markets, improve pricing, align compensation with profitability, and build a repeatable go-to-market playbook across multiple operating companies.Adam also discusses the cultural shift from pursuing revenue at any cost to prioritising profitable growth. He explains how sales leaders can communicate price increases confidently, assess commercial talent effectively, and give operating company presidents autonomy while maintaining platform-wide alignment.Key TakeawaysWhy the right talent is the foundation of scalable revenue growthHow Adam helped a founder-led company achieve 4X revenue growthWhy attitude, adaptability, and soft skills can outweigh lengthy industry experienceHow market specialisation can create a dominant competitive positionWhen strong demand and long backlogs signal an opportunity to increase pricesHow to position price increases around customer valueWhy sales compensation should reward profitable growth, not revenue aloneHow a standardised go-to-market playbook supports add-on integrationTools for assessing salespeople and commercial leadersTimestamps00:00 – Introduction to Adam Crandall and Addtronics00:30 – Adam's career journey from HR to revenue leadership01:25 – Quadrupling revenue and exiting a founder-led business02:19 – The foundations of 4X revenue growth02:49 – Getting the right people in the right seats04:08 – Identifying high-growth end markets05:01 – Hiring for attitude, adaptability, and soft skills07:48 – Building a team capable of accelerated growth08:17 – Value creation through market specialisation09:40 – Pricing as a value creation lever11:33 – Implementing price increases in founder-led businesses12:01 – Communicating price increases to customers14:23 – Shifting the culture toward profitable growth15:22 – Aligning sales compensation with margin targets16:49 – Creating a repeatable go-to-market playbook17:44 – Balancing platform consistency with operating company autonomy18:11 – What belongs in a scalable commercial playbook19:36 – Assessing sales talent and commercial leadership20:33 – Recommended resources for private equity revenue leaders21:00 – How to connect with Adam Crandall21:28 – Closing remarksRaw Selection partners with Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies to secure exceptional executive talent.

Fr. Trevor Chicoine returns to Man Up for part two of this series on the liturgy, and Joe puts him through a round of rapid-fire questions every Catholic man has wondered about but rarely asks out loud. Topics covered in this episode include: Preparing for Mass — practical tips for getting your family out the door with less chaos, plus why even a few minutes of quiet before Mass changes everything Attire and reverence — Fr. Chicoine's take on dressing for Mass, modesty, and why "come as you are" is always point number one The moving of tabernacles — the real history behind the 1970 General Instruction of the Roman Missal, Pope St. John Paul II's 2000 revision, and why some parishes can move the tabernacle back to center while others can't Chalice veils, incense, and bells — the ancient symbolism behind each, and why "smells and bells" are making a comeback in modern parishes Living out Vatican II's vision — what the Council actually asked for, and simple ways parishioners can add beauty to their parish through music, flowers, altar linens, and more Recommended resources for going deeper into the liturgy, including Bishop Barron's "Mass" series and the book What Happens at Mass by Abbot Jeremy Driscoll A father's role — why dads who take the Mass seriously dramatically shape whether their kids stay in the faith This episode is brought to you by: Construction Professionals — CPCustomHomes.com Iowa Catholic Radio — IowaCatholicRadio.com #ManUp #CatholicMen #IowaCatholicRadio #CatholicLiturgy #DesMoinesCatholic #QuadCitiesCatholic #DavenportIowa #CatholicPodcast #HeroicVirtue #CatholicFaith #Eucharist #MassMatters #CatholicMasculinity #TabernacleTruths #BeautyOfTheLiturgy #VaticanII   Listen Live · Program Schedule · Our StationsLINKSYou can follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Tiktok!

Tara welcomes Canadian (Nova Scotia) author Corinne Hoebers to discuss her latest novel, Tethered Spirits: Wiaqtaqne'wasultijik na Kjijaqmijinaq, OC Publishing, 2025. Corinne explains how she worked with the Mi'kmaq community to ensure historical accuracy while also telling the story of her own 1753 settlers of Lunenburg ancestors. From Goodreads: "Against the violent backdrop of the French and Indian (Seven Years) War, two German siblings come to learn about and understand the Mi'kmaq. Christian, now named Bear Cub, lives with the ancient People and develops a deep bond with his chosen brother, Eagle Feather, while his new family's way of life is increasingly threatened. On the outskirts of Lunenburg, Hanna, his younger sister, befriends a Mi'kmaw Elder and questions her papa's ownership of the land they are settling. Christian immerses himself in the Mi'kmaw language and the ways of the land, prepared to defend the People alongside Eagle Feather. Christian's father and older sister, Elisabeth, refuse to accept his new way of life; nor will they recognize the humanity of their perceived enemy. Christian is caught between two diverse families and cultures- the one to which he was born and to whom he feels obligated, and the one he has grown to love and respect. Settlers and Mi'kmaq alike struggle on land that is the ancestral home to one and promised to the other, a struggle that resonates to this day." https://corinnehoebers.mywriting.network/   Recommended titles: The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett John Newton: From Disgrace to Amazing Grace by Jonathan Aitken The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity by William Paul Young The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy  

Enya and Jim take the whole Spurs squad apart. Before the summer, Enya's data model had us averaging 12th across every position group in the league. After the window? 7th. But two positions are still broken, and the "depth" we keep talking about might not actually exist. Inside: the full pre-window audit position by position, why the model has us 12th at centre-back despite the "world-class pairing" narrative, why Enya would still keep Romero over Van Hecke and Senesi, the two positions where depth is still an illusion, the 2028 contract cliff around Kulusevski and Maddison, and what the preseason tour selections tell us about the pecking order. All the charts mentioned are up on Enya's X (@EnyaCollins) and the OhSoSpurs channels — worth pulling them up while you listen if you're near a screen. Data source: Wyscout.

In this episode of The Meditation Podcast, Roy sits down with Jon Paul Crimi — Breathwork pioneer, celebrity trainer, and sobriety coach based in Bend, Oregon. Jon Paul shares how his late friend Matthew Perry first introduced him to Breathwork, how a single session sent him "down the rabbit hole," and how he transformed a niche, mystical practice into a grounded, results-driven method that's now certified over 3,000 instructors worldwide. The conversation covers the science behind "tetany" (the hand-cramping sensation common in circular breathwork), why Jon Paul's mouth-breathing technique differs from nose-breathing methods like Wim Hof, how trauma stored in the nervous system gets released through the breath, and why he believes breathwork produces results comparable to psychedelics — without the logistical downsides. He also opens up about his own sobriety (26 years), his father's Alzheimer's diagnosis, his experience bringing breathwork into corporations like Nike and LinkedIn, and how to spot unqualified instructors in an unregulated industry.   What we Discussed 0:02 – Introduction and welcome 0:53 – How Jon Paul got into breathwork through Matthew Perry 2:08 – What "breathwork" actually means (it's an umbrella term) 2:48 – Jon Paul's mouth-breathing technique vs. nose-breathing methods 7:41 – Full-circle moment: teaching at a Tony Robbins Life Mastery Seminar 8:16 – Leading the largest in-person circular breathwork class (900 people, Switzerland) 10:20 – What causes "tetany" (the hand-cramping) — and how to stop it 14:25 – Why trauma surfaces during breathwork (and why that's a good thing) 17:13 – How long sessions should last, and why headphones matter 19:03 – Transient hypofrontality — quieting the inner critic 20:43 – Breathwork vs. psychedelics (ayahuasca, microdosing) 24:18 – Recommended frequency of practice 25:13 – Age recommendations for breathwork with children 26:21 – Alzheimer's, PTSD research, and where the science currently stands 28:05 – How to spot underqualified or unsafe instructors 31:02 – Inside his certification process (in-person vs. online, pricing) 43:57 – Bringing breathwork into corporations (Nike, LinkedIn) 51:03 – Breathwork's pop culture moment — the show Flaked with Will Arnett 54:24 – Where to find Jon Paul and closing thoughts Contact Details

Episode Summary With sub-internship (away rotation) season approaching, the hosts pull back the curtain on what orthopaedic faculty and residents are actually evaluating when a visiting medical student rotates through their program — and how to make the most of a high-stakes, high-anxiety few weeks that can shape where a student matches. Timestamps 00:00 — Intro Welcome and standard disclaimer: discussion is for informational purposes only, not professional medical advice. Setup for the episode topic — sub-internships and the residency match process. 00:30 — What sub-internships are and why they're stressful Framing the away rotation as an audition: students are trying to show programs who they are in a compressed, high-pressure window, often while living out of a temporary apartment in an unfamiliar city. 03:00 — What "being a good fit" actually means Programs are evaluating who they'll want to work closely with for 5 years — not just intelligence, but genuine likability and motivation. Surgical skill and knowledge can be taught; character is harder to change. 06:00 — Knowing your patients cold Being over-prepared on rounds — knowing the patient's history as well as or better than the intern — is one of the clearest signals of a strong sub-intern. Also covers outpatient/clinic prep and being a true team player, not just to faculty but to residents and staff alike. 09:00 — It's not about what you know — it's how you think Faculty don't expect med students to have read every paper. What stands out is how a student approaches an unfamiliar problem, reasons through it, and engages honestly rather than performing. Also: don't fake being busy or "look like you're learning" for show — it's noticeable. 12:00 — Phones, timing, and letters of recommendation Being visibly on your phone reads badly, even if you're doing legitimate reading between cases. Advice to request letters of recommendation about a week in advance so faculty can ask a few thoughtful questions about motivation and goals, rather than being asked last-minute. 15:00 — Flip the script: evaluating the program Sub-internships are a two-way evaluation. What to watch for: whether junior residents are progressing appropriately (a junior who already "knows everything" like a senior isn't actually a good sign — it may mean the program lacks structured teaching), how happy residents seem, and practical factors like hospital type (county vs. academic vs. hybrid) and commute/travel time. 18:00 — Talking about research in interviews Advice on discussing research authentically rather than treating it as a checklist. How to "spin" even offbeat research topics into a genuine, engaging conversation — with personal examples from silk moth cocoon biology to heart transplant genetics. 21:00 — Electives worth adding: psychiatry and emergency medicine A case for adding a real psychiatry rotation to build empathy and understanding of how depression, anxiety, and chronic pain intersect with orthopaedic care — plus a recommendation for an emergency medicine rotation to build consult and acute-care skills. 24:00 — Recommended resources and final advice A recommended online video resource for students transitioning from med student to resident, covering surgical basics and interview prep. Reflection on how important — and exciting — the sub-internship and match process is. 26:00 — Closing story and outro The hosts trade "craziest sub-I moment" stories, including a memorable case involving a corrective surgical procedure and a valet-parking mishap with a very expensive sports car. Standard sign-off and where to find the show on social media. Key Takeaways -Sub-internships are as much a character evaluation as a skills evaluation — programs are choosing a colleague for the next 5 years, not just a technically skilled trainee. -Being over-prepared on your patients and being genuinely kind to residents, faculty, and staff are among the strongest signals a program looks for. -Avoid "performing" for evaluators — faking productivity (phone use, fake studying) is more noticeable than students think. -Request letters of recommendation early — about a week ahead — to give faculty time for a thoughtful conversation. -Students should also be evaluating the program: resident happiness, teaching structure, and practical logistics all matter. -Consider adding psychiatry and emergency medicine electives for skills directly relevant to orthopaedic practice.

How could Jesus be fully God and fully man while living among sinful people? It's one of Christianity's most important doctrines—and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Dr. E answers a listener's question about the incarnation and explains why Jesus' divine and human nature was essential for our salvation. Drawing from passages like 2 Corinthians 5, 1 Peter 2–3, Colossians 2, Galatians 4, and John 1, Dr. Easley shows that Christ's perfect humanity, complete deity, and sinless life uniquely qualified Him to redeem sinful humanity. Along the way, he discusses why Jesus could interact with sinners without becoming defiled, why theology matters in everyday Christian life, and practical resources for studying biblical doctrine more deeply. If you've ever struggled to explain who Jesus is—or why the incarnation matters—this episode provides a clear, biblical foundation. Key Topics Covered -Why Jesus had to be fully God and fully man -How Christ lived among sinners without sin -The purpose of the incarnation -What happened on the cross -Why Jesus' righteousness matters for our salvation -Biblical passages that explain Christ's two natures -Recommended resources for studying theology Chapters 0:00 How could Jesus be fully God and fully man? 1:15 Why understanding theology matters 2:00 Christ bore our sin without becoming sinful 3:15 Why Jesus had to become human 4:20 John Stott's powerful explanation of the incarnation 5:25 Jesus touched sinners without being defiled 6:20 What happened spiritually at the cross 8:20 Recommended passages to study 9:45 Helpful theology resources for deeper study Links Mentioned: Logos Bible Software Bible.org The Moody Handbook of Theology by Dr. Pauls Enns  Find more episodes of Ask Dr. E here.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, again. This is Trey. Welcome to part 8 in my Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) Project series. If you wish to catch up on earlier episodes, you can find them on my HPR profile page https://www.hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0394.html It is hard to believe that I started this project and the HPR series to document it more than a year ago. Time flies. Life happens. I spent the last 8 months so focused on work related activities that I had to set the project aside. And once I set it aside, it was difficult to get back to again. The one time I tried, I found that my son's old Windows laptop, which I had commandeered to use for the project, was once and truly dead. We live in a different world now than we did when I began this project. Today, everything is about AI – how it is changing our world, increasing efficiencies, and even displacing certain types of jobs. "Vibe coding" is transforming the way we make software, and now everyone is a developer. Within my organization, we are all being strongly encouraged to learn more about AI and apply it in our daily work. We are blessed to have access to a wide range of training and to powerful tools which support the process. Several colleagues within my organization and outside my organization have recommended Claude Code -- for development, for organization, for brainstorming, and for much more. My role is not that of a developer, and I have had no need for Claude Code at work. There are plenty of other tools for me to use. But at home, I thought... I could install Claude Code at home to experiment with and to learn. And then it hit me. I wonder if I could use Claude Code to help me with my stalled CYD project. "Hello, my name is Trey, and I am a fraud." OK. I don't think I am a fraud, but having never used such a powerful tool to help me code, I feel a little bit like a fraud, with Claude doing the work for me. Let's talk through what we did. As I mentioned, I was unable to use the laptop on which I created the original GUI code. But no worries, because It was all on GitHub, right? So, I began by trying to install Claude Code on one of my Ubuntu machines. That failed miserably, and all the instructions I found online recommended running it on Windows. So I transitioned to installing Claude Code on a freshly built Windows 10 system using some old hardware which will not support Windows 11. Surprisingly, It seems that Claude wants to run within Ubuntu on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Once I went through all the hoops for installing and setting up my basic subscription, I got to work. I created a new directory to use for all my project files, and another one for Claude to write all its output files to. Everything I have read and heard about using Claude Code for a project like this recommended beginning by using Claude to create the project plan. So my first prompt was as follows: "I am building a project using an ESP32 cheap yellow display. The final goal is to have a device with a graphical user interface which will allow me store several text messages, each assigned to their own specific button. Then, when one of the buttons is pressed, the message will be converted into morse code, and the message will be sent by blinking an onboard LED. I already have the initial design for the GUI coded in my github repository. Please construct a detailed step by step plan for building this application" I wanted to keep it simple at the beginning, so even though I plan to use an opto-isolated relay for the output, I am starting out using the built in LED. Claude asked me for the URL for my Github repository, and I provided it. After thinking for a bit, it produced a project plan. CYD Morse Sender — Step-by-Step Build Plan What You Already Have - 3 fully designed LVGL screens (Send, Config, Keyboard) - 7 send buttons with green styling on the Send Screen - Speed slider (5–30 WPM) and program slot dropdown on Config Screen - Text area + LVGL keyboard widget on Keyboard Screen - Display driver and touchscreen hardware initialized (but touch read was stubbed out) --- Phase 1: Fix Touchscreen Input Initialize the XPT2046 on VSPI, replace the hardcoded touched = false with real touch data, calibrate raw ADC coordinates to screen pixels, and verify all three nav buttons transition screens correctly. Phase 2: Persistent Message Storage Use Preferences.h / NVS to store 7 messages ("msg0" – "msg6") that survive power cycles. Load on boot and populate send button labels. Phase 3: Config Screen — Slot Selection & Speed Wire the Program dropdown to g_selectedSlot, wire the Speed slider to g_wpm with a live WPM label, and wire the Set button to clear the text area and navigate to the Keyboard Screen. Phase 4: Keyboard Screen — Capture and Save Text On keyboard OK (LV_EVENT_READY): read the text area, save to NVS, update the send button label, navigate back. On Cancel: navigate back without saving. Phase 5: Morse Code Engine Build morse.h with the full A–Z / 0–9 lookup table, a textToMorse() converter, and Paris-standard timing (unit_ms = 1200 / wpm). Phase 6: Non-Blocking LED Transmission State machine (IDLE / LED_ON / LED_OFF) driven by millis() in a morseUpdate() function called every loop — no delay(). LED on GPIO 17 (blue). Phase 7: Wire the Send Buttons Each button calls startMorse(getMessage(slot)) if not already transmitting. Disable all send buttons during TX; re-enable when the state machine reaches the end. Phase 8: Integration & Polish Stop button, WPM persistence, empty-slot guard, serial debug output, final touch calibration, end-to-end test checklist. --- Recommended order: Phase 1 → 2 → 7 (partial) → 5 → 6 → 7 (full) → 3 → 4 → 8 This was wild! Claude determined exactly how far along I was in the project, and also alerted me to the fact that the "touch read was stubbed out". Ugh. This means that the files I had uploaded to GitHub were my original GUI files (Episode 05 – HPR4532 - https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4532/index.html ) and not the ones that I finally got working properly (Episode 07 – HPR4624 - https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4624/index.html ). That was my own fault. Did I mention that I don't get Git? I REALLY need to learn to properly use Git! But, we have a plan, broken down by eight numbered phases. And they seem to address all the functionality I wanted with a few additional things I had not thought about. Interestingly, even though these phases are sequentially numbered, Claud recommended that we approach them in a bizarre order: Phase 1 → 2 → 7 (partial) → 5 → 6 → 7 (full) → 3 → 4 → 8 . Alright. Let's see what we can do. The first phase is to fix the touchscreen input. Claude took me through it step-by-step, asking as it needed to read specific project files. Finally, it wrote a new ui.ino code file to my speficied output directory for me to test. I copied it into the correct file location, said a quick prayer, compiled in Arduino IDE, and downloaded to the CYD. Well, that is... interesting. The display looked nothing like it was supposed to. There were vertical green bars with smaller dashed green vertical stripes in them. I will include a picture in the show notes so that you can see what it looked like and why it was so difficult to describe. I spent the next hour or so trying to explain what I was seeing to a chat bot. Claude recommended potential fixes which either did nothing or made the situation worse. I began questioning whether this was a good idea, how people actually gained efficiencies talking to a bot, and even several life choices. Then I had a thought. I prompted Claude: If I were to take a picture of the screen on the cheap yellow display and copy it into the output folder, would you be able to analyze it to better determine what is wrong and how to fix it? Shockingly, Claude answered in the affirmative, and told me to copy the picture to the output folder and let it know when to proceed. It analyzed the picture and more of the supporting files it had copied from my GitHub, asking each time if it could access that file. It determined that my original code was written for a flavor of LVGL version 8 and I was now using LVGL 9.5. It recommended changes, and then asked permission to make those changes, file by file. .h files & .c files, Finally, I just gave it permission to edit the files in the project folder without asking for permission for each file each time. Claude was still explaining each change, showing me exactly what would be changed, and asking for permission, so that I could review all of the changes. But now it was not asking additional permission to write to each of the impacted files. Next, Code compiled and downloaded. Different screen, but not right. Again, I took a picture and gave it to Claude to analyze. So, Claude paused and altered the code to generate a specific test pattern overtop of the GUI. The test pattern was supposed to cover the entire rectangular screen. But parts of the pattern were in a square on the screen and parts were not. Another photograph and analysis, told Claude that there were some rotation/screensize issues. We repeated this several times. Some resulted in improvement, and others did not. This is the point where I noticed something interesting. Not about Claude, specifically, or about the app. But I noticed something interesting about myself and about the process. Previously, when I was working through some of these challenges without Claud, I found myself becoming more and more stressed, frustrated, and angry, until I found a solution. Then another problem would repeat the cycle. Success in the end was great, but the emotional extremes during the process were not always pleasant. Now, I was effectively managing the project, and relaying information to the resource responsible for fixing the problems -- a very different experience. But I also ran into another issue. Claude became absolutely certain that the problem revolved around the device not accurately knowing where the 4 corners of the screen were. But in reality, the output of the test pattern was rotated 90 degrees from the actual screen. It took several iterations of me insisting that the problem had to do with screen orientation and not corner coordinates. It was interesting to experience the tool doubling down on an obvious mistake, but we finally resolved that. Again, while it was frustrating, it was much less stressful. We proceeded to Phase 2: Persistent Message Storage where we ensured that the button labels on the send screen were stored in the devices persistent storage, so that, when they are edited to contain the message they should send, that information would survive a reboot. Next, we combined elements of Phase 5: Morse Code Engine , Phase 6: Non-Blocking LED Transmission , and Phase 7: Wire the Send Buttons together. Building the morse code engine was an area I had been thinking about for a while. I already had working parts of something similar in the Arduino practice oscillator I have referenced a few times in this series. The code for the practice oscillator may be found on my GitHub, but it was all based on original code from jmharvey1, with my only contribution being making pin assignments variables so that the code could easily be ported to different devices. So, I was happy that we were building the morse code engine directly. The code for it may be found in morse.h, which uses a constant character lookup table to define each character. Without any specific direction from me, Claude used the PARIS timing methods I have already described within Episode 6 of this series. It defines timing for DOT, DASH, LETTER_GAP, and WORD_GAP, and all are based on a simple calculation of 1200 ms / the number of words per minute (WPM) we wish to transmit. Along the way, we discovered that, if we tried to use the delay() function, it would crash the program due to a conflict with the LVGL timer used for touchscreen inputs. Claude altered all the delays accordingly. Then, Phase 3: Config Screen — Slot Selection & Speed allowed us to configure the WPM we wished to use in addition to selecting a specific Send button to reconfigure. This forced us to work on Phase 4: Keyboard Screen — Capture and Save Text which is used to type the entries for each Send button. At this point, I also decided that we would want to also use the Keyboard Screen to send ad hoc morse as we typed it. During this phase we discovered several bugs which seemed to cause random freezes. Careful troubleshooting with messages output to the Arduino IDE's serial console helped us narrow down the causes and remedy them. Finally all the tests worked and I am able to merrily pre-configure macro buttons with custom messages and use the CYD to send the morse code for those messages to the on-board LED at whichever rate I specify. I have noticed in my presentation of this narrative that I repeatedly slip into the first person plural terms "we" and "us" instead of the first person singular terms "I" and "me". I have unconsciously personified Claud and recognized it as an integral part of my (formerly one person) development team. I finally configured Claude to connect to my GitHub repo and upload all the files and documentation. We additionally created a CYD-Narrative.md file which describes in more detail all the work which was done on the project. I still do not 100% get git, but we are successfully using it. You can find all these files in my GitHub repo ( https://github.com/jttrey3/CYD_MorseSender ) where they are shared under a GPL 3.0 license. There are still several additional steps I plan to complete in the next few months. 1. I will be integrating an opto-isolated relay which will allow me to plug the device into the straight key input on any amateur radio. This will require a battery power source, charge controller, and more hardware. I... make that "We" (Claude & I) will be modifying the code to support an audio side tone through an attached speaker when sending code We will add an output selection switch to the config page to choose any combination of speaker, relay, or LED as output. We will develop a downloadable firmware which I hope to share with the Cheap Yellow Display community. If you can think of any additional features you would like to see integrated, please drop me an email using the address in my HPR profile. I may also work with a friend to attempt to 3d print a case for the entire contraption, and I will be sure to record additional episodes sharing the process. I have learned so much throughout this project, about the CYD, ESP32, GUIs, Claude Code, GitHub, and most of all, about myself. Does using AI to develop this code make me a fraud? It still feels like it in some ways. Does it make me more productive? ABSOLUTELY! I made consistent forward progress when I only had 30-60 minutes each day to work on it, and everything discussed in this episode was completed in less than a week. If I had been able to work on it for a few hours uninterrupted, it may have only taken me 3-5 hours. Does it empower and inspire me to do more projects like this? 100% I feel like I had support working with me the whole way. I was less stressed overall, and it had less of an impact on the amount of and quality of time I spent with my family. I will be wrapping up this series soon, without any more 6 month gaps, I hope. Until next time... Provide feedback on this episode.

Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide, behavioral design applied to real products: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Frédéric Guitton, who leads sales and marketing at iTargetGolf after a career across banking, startups, financial services, and investment firms, explains how driving ranges are turning dead space into an interactive, gamified experience. He walks through the company's product line, including the iTarget Night Saber target that connects to Toptracer, Inrange, and Trackman through an API, the in-bay lights that fire when a player hits their target, and the new Cash Cup Golf hole-in-one contest played with RFID balls. Guitton lays out the three levers a driving range has for revenue, why post-COVID golf growth came from entertainment rather than traditional rounds, and how instant feedback keeps a player buying one more bucket. Listeners come away with a working model of physical gamification and a reminder that designing around real human behavior beats asking people to behave better. About the Host Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts. He designs evidence-based engagement systems that drive motivation, loyalty, and results, and teaches LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and gamification at top institutions including IE Business School, EFMD, and EBS University across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Key Takeaways A driving range has only three levers for revenue, according to Frédéric Guitton: sell more balls, sell more food and beverage, or sell the balls for more money. Every engagement decision at iTargetGolf traces back to one of those three. iTargetGolf's first targets were powder-coated metal and looked great, but ball picker staff bumped them and metal does not give, so it bent or broke permanently. The replacement is cut from utility sewer pipe and survives 400 to 500 pounds driving over it. Post-COVID golf growth came from entertainment, not from more rounds on traditional courses. Guitton describes the driving range starting to replace the bowling alley as the family night out, which brings in an audience that never came to practice. The iTarget Night Saber target connects through an API to Toptracer, Inrange, and Trackman ball tracking, so a landed ball triggers an animation within seconds. That instant feedback is Core Drive 2 (Development and Accomplishment) delivered in the physical world. Choosing low voltage over high voltage took permitting out of the install path. A California range that signed in mid-June started its install roughly four weeks later, which turned an infrastructure decision into a sales advantage. Guitton frames the B2B2C tension plainly: the range's success drives iTargetGolf's success, so the company treats itself as a consequence of its customers' results rather than a driver of them.

Elizabeth Stone is the Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO) at Netflix, where she oversees Engineering, Product, and Design. Since her first appearance on the podcast two years ago—which remained my second-most-popular episode for more than a year—she has expanded her role to lead product, in addition to engineering. Before Netflix, Elizabeth was VP of Science at Lyft, Chief Operating Officer at Nuna, an economist at Analysis Group, and a trader at Merrill Lynch.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1.

We're joined by Kenice Mobley to dissect (ha) the many parts that make up The Bride! And if you like Kenice, check out The Hot Guy Draft in August!

If your searching for "too many business ideas and no progress" or "how to pick one business idea as a Christian entrepreneur" or "why my podcast has no traction,"  this episode directly answers that question. In this episode I teach Christian women entrepreneurs how to cut through idea overwhelm, choose one focused direction, and finally build something with real traction. I answers the question: why do I keep starting things and never seeing results? The answer is almost always scattered focus, not lack of calling. I walk you through the ONE Thing Filter - a Four-Question Framework used inside my Podcast to Profit Coaching Program to help women identify which idea God is actually asking them to build: which idea keeps coming back, which idea has your personal story behind it, which topic can you talk about forever without burning out, and what scares you just enough to require faith. This episode includes two key scriptures (James 1:8 on double-mindedness, 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 on planting and increase), a 4-step action plan, and a word-for-word prayer to help you commit to ONE direction today. Recommended for: Christian women entrepreneurs with too many business ideas, faith-based business owners stuck in analysis paralysis, Christian podcasters who haven't found their niche, women searching for how to hear God about which business to start, and anyone asking why their podcast or business has no traction.   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?   oin my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!
