World leaders in Davos are talking about 'tech sovereignty', but can Europe or the UK really achieve digital autonomy when so much of the AI and cloud infrastructure is controlled by a handful of US firms? Danny and Katie talk to Hany Farid about the geopolitics of tech, and the fear of an 'AI kill switch' - is this scaremongering or a real concern?Guest: Hany Farid, UC Berkeley professor and Co‑Founder & Chief Science Officer at GetReal Security.Image: Getty Hosted on Acast.

Negotiate Anything: Negotiation | Persuasion | Influence | Sales | Leadership | Conflict Management
What do you do when the person across the table isn't just tough—but openly hostile? In this episode of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian welcomes back attorney and negotiation expert Jamie Lieberman, Esq. for a practical deep dive into managing hostile negotiators and navigating high-conflict conversations without losing your composure — or your leverage. Jamie breaks down why difficult negotiators trigger such strong emotional reactions, how to prepare for those moments before they happen, and the mindset shifts that allow you to stay calm while others escalate. Together, Kwame and Jamie explore how to build rapport when the other side seems unwilling, how to gather and use information strategically when facts alone aren't enough, and how to change the dynamic from adversarial to collaborative — even when the other party is interrupting, bullying, or refusing to engage productively. Packed with real-world legal examples and actionable tactics, this episode equips you to protect your interests, reclaim control, and negotiate with confidence under pressure. If you've ever dreaded a conversation because you knew the other person would be aggressive, dismissive, or impossible to deal with, this episode will change how you approach tough negotiations for good.

What if the thing keeping you “busy” isn't actually your workload… but your grip on control? In today's episode, Gina Cotner breaks down what it really takes to shift from doing everything yourself to building a business that can run without you.Gina is the founder of Athena Executive Services, a virtual executive assistant agency built for busy, successful business owners who need high-level support without hiring a full-time 40-hour/week assistant.

HEADLINE: Strategic Vulnerabilities and the Path to a 456-Ship Fleet GUEST AUTHOR: Jerry HendrixSUMMARY: Hendrix identifies critical economic vulnerabilities in China and Russia, noting that both regimes rely heavily on sea lanes for energy and food, making them susceptible to naval interdiction. To maintain deterrence, he proposes a future fleet of 456 ships. This expansion relies on a pivot to unmanned surface vessels to control costs and the addition of 60 frigates for global presence. Hendrix also warns that the Navy must urgently replace retiring guided-missile submarines and expand the logistics force, as combatant ships cannot operate effectively without a robust train of supply vessels.1888 NAVAL GUN

In this episode of the Anti-Dystopians, Alina Utrata talks to Casey Lynch, the Ramon y Cajal researcher in the Department of Geography at the University of Girona. Casey is a human geographer with interests in digital, political, urban, and labour geographies, as well as geographic thought and critical theory. They discussed that SNL skit about “Just Walk Out” Amazon Go stores, and why automated shopping never got off the ground; what iBuyer programmes are and if an AI can replace your real estate agent; and promising ideas about technological sovereignty and local community in Barcelona, so that we don't just have to rely on “five nerds” all the time.

They got straight up embarrassed last year in their playoff game in Buffalo. Can they flip the script this time around?10:29 - This game vs the Bills will come down to the last possession.

Looking for the Bottleneck Reset Workshop? Click here for details: https://unconventionalorganisation.circle.so/checkout/bottleneck-reset-workshop-wednesday-jan-21stIf you have ADHD, you probably know this pattern. You're foggy, scattered, or stuck… until a deadline hits. Then suddenly, you're laser-focused, productive, unstoppable. And afterwards, you're wrecked. In this episode, Skye and William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD unpack why hyperfocus feels like the only way to get things done, and why it quietly creates more stress, burnout, and long-term chaos than most people realize. Using research on university students, we explore how executive function difficulties change the way ADHD brains access focus, why more ADHD symptoms often lead to more hyperfocus (not less), and why relying on pressure is not a sustainable strategy, even if it looks productive on the surface. This episode is for late-diagnosed adults, professionals, and business owners with ADHD who keep asking themselves: “Why do I only function when everything's urgent?” “And why does it always cost me afterwards?” What we cover:- Why hyperfocus shows up most when things feel critical or overwhelming - How executive function difficulties push ADHD brains into last-minute intensity - The difference between intense focus and sustainable focus - How hyperfocus borrows energy from your future self - What this pattern means for productivity, stress, and burnout long-term P.S. If your ADHD symptoms turn every business day into chaos—unfinished tasks piling up, revenue stuck, systems that don't stick—it's not you. It's your operating system. We help service business owners unblock their next $50-500k with simple systems that focus their brain. Watch this video to see how we do it, then take the program walkthrough.

Happy New Year and welcome back to the SaaS Fuel Podcast! In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Leslie Shreve, workload management and efficiency expert, and founder of Productive Day. Leslie shares her proprietary system, Taskology, and dives deep into the real reasons why busy SaaS leaders and professionals feel overwhelmed, despite using the latest tools and productivity hacks. Together, they unpack the hidden costs of “gray work,” the myth of the infinite workday, and why most task management apps fall short. Leslie offers a practical, actionable framework for regaining control, reducing stress, and making real progress—one atomic task at a time.Key TakeawaysThe Hidden Cost of Modern Work Chaos(00:47) – Being busy doesn't mean being productive. The proliferation of tools and notifications can drain focus and create “gray work.”Gray Work and Quiet Cracking(06:00) – “Gray work” is the time lost managing disconnected tools and notes. “Quiet cracking” is when professionals appear composed but are overwhelmed inside.The Infinite Workday(09:00) – Without boundaries, workdays can feel endless, leading to burnout. Protecting personal time is essential for health and productivity.Why Most Productivity Apps Fail(15:00) – Apps like Asana, Trello, and Notion offer features, but without a clear method, they can overwhelm rather than help.The Myth of the To-Do List(22:00) – A to-do list is only useful if it's complete, digital, and actionable. Paper lists and scattered notes don't cut it.The Fast Action Formula & Atomic Tasks(28:00) – Break projects into the smallest possible action steps, each with a clear what, how, why, and when. This makes progress achievable and reduces stress.Time Defense vs. Time Management(35:00) – Protecting time (a “time shield”) is more effective than trying to manage every minute. Block focused time and let others schedule around it.Tweetable Quotes“Gray work is what happens when you're chasing after tasks and notes, but nothing feels like it's getting done.”“Technology alone won't save you. You need a method to cut through the noise.”“Don't outsource thinking, decision-making, and execution—those are your superpowers as a leader.”“Atomic tasks are the smallest, most actionable steps. That's where real progress happens.”“Protect your time like it's your most valuable asset—because it is.”SaaS Leadership LessonsCentralize Your Work – Avoid scattered notes and tools; create a single digital hub for all tasks and information.Break Down Projects – Turn big projects into atomic tasks with clear action steps.Prioritize Ruthlessly – Focus on the few actions that truly move the needle, not just what's urgent.Protect Your Time – Use a “time shield” to block focused work periods and defend against interruptions.Embrace Flexibility – Plans will change; adapt quickly without losing sight of your priorities.Don't Rely on Tools Alone – Methods and systems matter more than the latest app or hack.Guest...

THE SCIENCE OF COMBUSTION AND FIRE-ADAPTED VEGETATION Colleague Danielle Clode. The discussion turns to the science of combustion, focusing on fire-adapted vegetation like Eucalyptus and Mountain Ash, which rely on fierce fires and sunlight to regenerate. Clode addresses common misconceptions about ignition, stating that while arson accounts for some fires, natural causes like lightning and accidental faults often produce more dangerous blazes. She also warns that during drought conditions, even plants considered fire-resistant, such as Pittosporum, become fuel, emphasizing the need for managing undergrowth. Finally, Clode outlines the evolution of Australian fire brigades, which began as insurance-run town units before expanding into the massive volunteer networks essential for protecting rural communities.

Most health insurance is designed to treat disease after it shows up, not to keep you truly healthy or extend your life. In this video, we explain how longevity medicine and preventive screening can help reduce your risk of heart attacks, cancer, dementia, and other predictable causes of death. We walk through a practical “pyramid” of health: starting with foundations like exercise, VO₂ max, strength, sleep, stress management, and nutrition. From there, we move into regenerative medicine tools such as hormone replacement therapy, testosterone support for men, joint and arthritis treatment, metabolic weight-loss programs, venous circulation care, and sleep apnea treatment. Then we explore advanced preventive screening that goes beyond basic labs, coronary calcium scores, CIMT, full-body MRI, and neuro-quantitative brain scans that can reveal problems years before symptoms appear. Our goal with longevity medicine and preventive screening is not just to add years to your life, but to add quality to those years. We want you to understand your real risks early and know what options exist before a major event occurs.Timestamps:00:00 — Why Health Insurance Doesn't Create Longevity02:10 — Phase 1: Fitness, VO₂ Max & Lifestyle Foundations03:35 — Why Being Fit Makes You Harder to Kill04:15 — Phase 2: Regenerative Medicine & Hormone Therapy06:30 — Weight Loss, Metabolic Health & Lifespan07:30 — Sleep Apnea and 3x Higher Mortality Risk08:15 — Phase 3: Preventing Predictable Causes of Death08:40 — Advanced Heart Screening Beyond Standard Labs09:40 — Full-Body MRI, Cancer Screening & Early Detection10:20 — Brain Imaging and Early Dementia Risk11:55 — Biological Age vs Chronological Age12:30 — Reversing Heart Disease Risk with Data13:10 — Why Knowing Your Risk Early Changes EverythingLearn More: https://www.alluremedical.com/Books & Research: https://www.alluremedical.com/books/Follow Dr. Charles Mok & Allure Medical: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-mok-4a0432114/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alluremedicals/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AllureMedical TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alluremedicalAmazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Charles-Mok/author/B0791M9FZQInner Circle Membership: https://www.alluremedical.com/inner-circle-membership/Subscribe to the show & leave a 5-star review!#insidethecure
The WIP Morning Show debates which side of the ball the Eagles season hinges on the most, the offense or the defense. Tom Kelly thinks the defense will keep the team from losing, but Devan Kaney says that the offense needs more credit for their impact on games. The Morning Show is reminded that the Eagles offense has not played a complete and cohesive game yet and that the Eagles defense tends to be dominant and exceed expectations. Devan and Tom ask callers about the best presents they've ever gotten and select winners for the annual Tommy Awards.

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed: Seeing through product-driven Roth pitches Recognizing political risk in long-term tax planning Keeping conversions separate from annuity products Avoiding shiny-object sales tactics Key Takeaways: Treat Roth conversions as tax decisions rather than annuity strategies. Rely on math and tax guidance instead of sales-driven framing. Understand that tax-free structures like Roths can face future policy shifts. Plan with awareness that political changes may affect long-term assumptions. Run conversion numbers independently of any annuity recommendation. Evaluate tax impact, break-even timing, and personal comfort before acting. Watch for bonuses, churning, and pressure to "flip" existing annuities. Focus on guarantees, documentation, and advice from qualified tax professionals. "You should never do a Roth conversion without talking to a Certified Financial Planner, a CPA, or tax lawyer.

In this fast-paced, raw, and incredibly actionable LashCon 2025 coaching session, Sheila Bella sits down with a beauty entrepreneur who's struggling to grow her trainer kit business — and in under 20 minutes, Sheila completely restructures her visibility and sales strategy. If you've ever wondered why your product, kit, or training isn't taking off even though it's great, this episode will be a wake-up call. Sheila breaks down the exact reason most beauty businesses stay stuck: they're relying solely on word of mouth and not building a digital ecosystem that works on autopilot. You'll hear Sheila walk this business owner through a clear, simple two-part formula: 1. Get seen — visibility through content & ads 2. Get chosen — conversion through trust-building systems This episode is a must-listen for lash trainers, PMU educators, product creators, or anyone wanting consistent sales without burning out. ⭐ 5 Key Points From the Episode 1. Visibility Can't Rely on Word of Mouth Alone Sheila explains that if you want consistent, predictable growth, word of mouth is not enough. You need digital visibility that runs 24/7. 2. There Are Only Two Content Types: Organic & Paid Organic content builds trust. Paid content (ads) builds reach. Both are needed if you want trainers to see your kit as an option. 3. Trainers Only Choose Brands They See Repeatedly Visibility → familiarity → trust → sales. Your kits won't sell if trainers never see them online. 4. Automation Is the Only Way to Scale Without Burnout Sheila walks her through creating automated sales funnels, email sequences, DMs, and follow-up systems so she can grow her brand while raising her kids. 5. Being Seen Gets You Considered — But Being Chosen Requires Conversations Once people see your ads and content, what converts them is the messaging, follow-up, and nurturing process behind the scenes.

In this episode, we look at a series of recent arrests tied to online posts, comparing Britain's policing culture and firearms laws with American norms and examining how “feeling threatened” has become a legal standard. We discuss Alaska's new AI-driven digital identity system and the fears surrounding automated benefits, digital currency, and government control. We highlight the week's “foolishness” involving a racist outburst at a Cinnabon, and then turn to market news as Bitcoin drops and DJT stock continues to collapse. Our main topic explores whether AI can ever be sentient, what genuine inquisitiveness looks like, how people project humanity onto algorithms, and why the real risks stem from human psychology rather than runaway machines. We close with a discussion of how AI affects relationships, personal responsibility, and why students shouldn't rely on it to think for them. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 01:01 British Man Arrested Over Social Media Post 02:46 Police Overreach and “Feelings as Law” 05:14 Global Jurisdiction and Ridiculous Laws 06:51 Alaska's AI-Driven Digital Identity System 07:35 AI Applying for Benefits on Your Behalf 09:17 Digital Currency and Government Control Fears 12:11 Foolishness of the Week: The Cinnabon Racism Incident 13:22 Why Do Racists Get GoFundMes? 14:30 Bitcoin's Drop and the DJT Stock Collapse 19:36 Can AI Become Sentient? 22:05 The Inquisitiveness Test for Consciousness 26:31 Will AI Replace Human Relationships? 30:30 What Long-Term Interaction Reveals About AI 36:46 Asking AI About Sentience 40:00 Real Risks: Errors, Psychology, and Human Behavior 43:15 AI as a Mirror of Human Behavior 45:02 Practical and Realistic Uses of AI 50:18 Why Students Shouldn't Rely on AI for Schoolwork 53:40 Drug-fueled Observations on Human Behavior Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the way you've been told to get fit… is exactly what's holding you back? If you're over 40 and still not where you want to be with your fitness or health, it might not be about willpower. It might be the method. This week on The Health Feast, I'm joined by Maxime Sigouin — founder of FitVegan Coaching — to unpack why so many traditional fitness plans fail us… and what actually works instead. Maxime has helped hundreds of people in their 40s, 50s, and beyond reclaim their health, reverse chronic conditions, and build sustainable strength — without chasing aesthetics or burning out. In this episode, we get into: Why most fitness advice sets people up to fail How to rebuild trust in your body after years of dieting or injury What mindset and habits actually sustain long-term change Why slowing down — even unplugging — can be a power move Maxime also shares what he believes is the single most important investment you can make in your health after 40: strength training. Not just for looks — but for confidence, function, and long-term vitality. Since we recorded, Maxime announced the release of his new book, Forever Fit — which is available for preorder now here. If you've ever felt like the quick fixes aren't working anymore… this episode offers something deeper. Live well and RAK ON, – Dr. Rak
PREVIEW — John Hardie — Ukraine's Blurred Lines and Infiltration Tactics. Hardie describes the absence of distinct, clearly demarcated front lines in the Ukraine conflict, documenting that Russian military forces now rely systematically upon small-unit infiltration tactics and close-proximity entrenchment maneuvers to position forces near Ukrainiandefensive positions and supply routes. Hardie emphasizes that Russian and Ukrainian forces frequently operate at extremely close proximity—sometimes separated only by individual tree lines—creating operational complications for defensive coordination, artillery fire support authorization, and making systematic mapping of the conflict's tactical boundaries extraordinarily difficult for both command structures and military intelligence analysts attempting real-time situational assessment.

It's no secret I'm a full-on AI skeptic. And while I still use it, I'm very, very worried about the long-term effects of overuse. I saw a number of stories over the summer that point to us losing our ability to connect with other people.We've decided that efficiency and productivity are more important than everything, including accuracy and trust. That we've decided to implicitly trust something made wholly by other people, some of whom don't fully understand what their creation does.Here's my approach to AI, how we can be better, and my hopes for 2026.And if you want to save time without giving up your humanity, check out my automations at https://streamlined.fm/quizShow NotesWe're giving up too much to AIDon't Rely on AI for Human Growth and HealingParents of teenager who took his own life sue OpenAIMeta's AI rules let bots hold ‘sensual' chats with childrenWe are rushing into the same mistakes we made with social mediaFaster Doesn't Mean Better.

Labor myth buster Dana Scurlock, Director of Recruitment at Staffing Boutique, reframes temporary staffing as a sophisticated business tool for nonprofit leaders—not a last-resort move when things are on fire. Dana steps in to show how strategic temp and temp-to-perm staffing can stabilize teams, protect budgets, and protect sanity.She starts with a fundamental question: how many staffing firms does a nonprofit really need? From organizations that have never used an agency to those calling their fifth recruiter, she explains why understanding an agency's model matters. Staffing Boutique works on a contingency basis, which means urgency, flexibility, and the freedom for nonprofits to keep recruiting on their own. In contrast, ‘retained' firms require exclusivity and upfront fees, which can slow things down and lock organizations into one channel.Dana is equally direct about transparency. Salary ranges, the history of the role, why the previous person left, whether someone is quietly being replaced—these details aren't gossip; they're the bedrock of a solid search. Without that clarity, candidates endure endless interviews only to discover the compensation was never realistic. As Dana puts it, “It's not just an interview for them. It's an interview for you to see if it's the right place where you want to work.” That two-way lens is exactly what reduces turnover and builds longer tenures in mission-essential roles like development.Then she pulls back the curtain on the economics. That apparently “high” hourly bill rate often includes recruiting, weekly payroll, taxes, unemployment, and insurance—costs nonprofits would shoulder anyway. Agencies absorb administrative burden and even handle tough conversations when a placement isn't working out or a project ends. For conflict-averse leaders, that alone can be priceless.Dana also defends temp work as a legitimate career choice, from interim executive directors steering transitions to seasoned admin professionals who thrive on variety. In her world, temp staffing is not about “just getting a body in the seat”; it's about building smart, flexible staffing strategies that support the long-term health of nonprofit organizations.#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitStaffing #TempWorkStrategyFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show
In this introspective episode of Flow, Cam Cooksey digs into what it really means to grow through pressure rather than buckle under it. Reflecting on his own week of setbacks, distractions, and emotional weight, Cam breaks down how self-trust is built in the moments when everything feels off, and why those “off” days are actually training grounds for becoming the person you want to be. He explores how expectations sabotage progress, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how to keep momentum when discipline feels impossible. Using stories from his clients, his own routines, and the challenges he's actively working through, Cam offers a grounded and honest look at resilience as a practice, not a personality trait. Encouraging, practical, and deeply human, Episode 30 is a reminder that flow isn't something you find, it's something you build, especially on the days when it feels farthest away.

This Advent Season, 2025, is a busy one, and some episodes might be recycled from a previous year. In other words, the day of the week might not line up perfectly with the actual date. I ask for your grace and pray you will still receive the message Jesus is sending to your heart as you listen to each episode.)Source: Christian Brothers Publications. (2012).

This week on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I'm joined by Maddie Joy Fischer, whose brand new devotional Rest & Rely: A 60-Day Devotional to Replace Fear, Anxiety, and Worry with God's Truth releases this Tuesday—and truly, the timing could not be more perfect.As the holiday season approaches, fear, anxiety, grief, and pressure have a way of rising to the surface. Maddie courageously shares her personal journey with anxiety, insecurity, control, and fear—including her struggle with health anxiety and a lifelong fear of flying—and how God gently led her into a deeper place of surrender, rest, and reliance on Him.We talk about what it looks like to stop striving in our own strength and learn to live first as daughters, not employees of God. Maddie beautifully unpacks how rest and reliance work together, how healing is often a process, and how God uses even our turbulence to teach us who He truly is.This conversation is full of truth, tenderness, and hope for anyone who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or afraid.✨ Highlighted TakeawaysFear grows when we unknowingly “feed it,” but freedom begins when we starve it with truth.Rest isn't just slowing down—it's learning to receive God's grace in the middle of life's chaos.Relying on God means fully casting, not casting and carrying.Healing doesn't always happen instantly—sometimes God teaches us who He is in the process.We serve best when we first learn how to simply be daughters at His feet.This episode is an invitation to lay down striving, pick up surrender, and rediscover the peace that only comes from truly resting and relying on the Lord.Bio: Maddie Joy Fischer is a 26 year old writer, speaker, and worship leader in St.Louis, MO. She is a wife, the oldest of five siblings, and a born and raised Pastor's kid. She is also an ambassador (writer) for Live Original, Sadie Roberson's ministry. Maddie's passion is to point people to Jesus through living a life of surrender. For 10 years, she has shared this passion on her social media platforms with a desire to see people grow in knowledge of God's word, boldness to proclaim it, and love for the One who it's all about. She continues to take every opportunity she is given to live out the calling God has prepared for her life as He has continues to grow her ministry every step of the way.

What if freedom isn't a destination, but a road you walk every day? Life rarely plays out the way we imagined. One minute you're chasing a dream, the next you're wondering how it all fell apart. This message is for the guy stuck in the middle of the mess, who's tired of pretending everything's fine. Whether it's a delay, a detour, or a disappointment, this is your reminder that God still walks with people who feel lost. The road to freedom is not about perfection. It's about motion. One honest step at a time. This message unpacks three simple but powerful keys: Recognize His Presence, Remember His Promises, and Rely on His People. Jesus isn't just waiting at the finish line. He's walking right beside you, even when you don't recognize Him. The good news is, you don't have to get it all right. You just have to keep going.
