National Chicken Wing Day is the perfect excuse to eat wings and say drink so I opened my contacts, started cold calling friends and ask one question Tacoma takes seriously. Where are the wings that never miss, and what do you order so they come out right? The answers stack up fast, and certain names keep surfacing for a reason: Flying Boots, Loose Wheel, Hans Place, The Tea House at the B&I (closed Wednesdays) Lucky Silver, LaCa Bar, Burnett's fish sauce wings (although they're in Renton, ppl can't stop talking about em), and more neighborhood staples that feel like the Tac on a plate. We get deep into the details that actually matter if you're chasing great chicken wings in Tacoma. Do you ask for extra crispy every time or trust the fryer? Are you team naked wings with sauce on the side, or do you want them drenched? What's the move when you want lemon pepper but still crave buffalo, and where do you go when you want heat that's more adrenaline than dinner? You'll hear real ordering strategies, real Wing Wednesday habits, and honest takes on consistency. We also check in with Tre, owner & Wizard at Wing Wizard for the on-the-ground plan, pre-order approach, and new flavor ideas, because the food truck scene is part of what makes Tacoma and the South Sound such a good place to eat. The bigger takeaway is simple: no gatekeeping, no boneless wings and just support local bars and small kitchens, and use food to stay connected to the people around you. And we do that. If you've got a wing spot we missed, I wanna know about it. Subscribe, share this with your group chat before Wing Wednesday, and leave a review so more Tacoma folks can find the list. Where are you grabbing wings next?Support the showThanks for listening to the latest episode of LIKEITORNOT

One year after starting Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, this is my honest TMS experience. I tried TMS therapy for my chronic, treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, and PTSD, and it completely changed my life. This controversial depression treatment isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, but after hitting rock bottom last summer, completing 52 total treatments by October, and returning for maintenance sessions in February, it gave me my life back. In this episode, I'm answering common TMS therapy questions, sharing my raw week-by-week PHQ-9 scores so you can see the real ups and downs of my mental health recovery, and discussing whether TMS is worth it. If you've ever wondered if TMS therapy works for severe anxiety or trauma recovery, I hope sharing my journey brings you clarity and hope.

If you're in wholesaling, flipping, or real estate investing, this is a real, no-fluff look at how a deal like this actually comes together.

In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, LaSean Smith, Product and Growth Lead at Google Cloud, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a wide-ranging conversation on how systems thinking and agentic AI are reshaping the way individuals, small businesses, and enterprises operate.LaSean shares a career journey that spans Microsoft HoloLens, Amazon, a successful startup exit, and now Google — plus a portfolio of small businesses that have served as his real-world AI lab. From a salad shop in Renton to a pre-construction development business in Seattle, he's applied workflow design and agent automation to solve practical problems long before it was fashionable.The conversation digs deep into how to actually build effective AI agents — not by prompting a chatbot, but by thinking in workflows first, identifying where reasoning actually needs to happen, and writing skills that make agents fast, reliable, and token-efficient. LaSean explains the "parcel grader" agent he built for his construction business, why he starts every agent build in a chat interface before moving to CLI, and how the McDonald's SOP model is the right mental framework for getting great output from AI.Boaz and LaSean also discuss the barbell economy that AI is creating — where small players and large enterprises both gain leverage while the middle gets squeezed — why Microsoft's Copilot strategy missed the point, how to think about agent security and identity, and why healthy organizational culture is the actual prerequisite for successful AI adoption.The episode closes with a reflection on what "always changing" really means as a mindset, and why building resilience and systems thinking skills now is the most important career investment anyone can make.This episode is essential listening for entrepreneurs, operators, and anyone using or thinking about deploying AI agents in their work.---Chapters[00:00] Episode 100 and LaSean's First Jobs[03:30] From Microsoft HoloLens to Amazon to Google: LaSean's Career Path[08:00] What LaSean Does at Google Cloud Today[11:00] The Entrepreneurial Side: Small Businesses as an AI Lab[16:00] The Barbell Economy: Why the Middle Is Being Squeezed[20:00] Building the Parcel Grader Agent for Pre-Construction[25:00] How to Write Better Skills: Start in Chat, Not CLI[30:00] Workflow Thinking vs. Department Thinking[35:00] Why Google Is Generating 75% of Its Code with AI[38:00] The McDonald's SOP Model for Agent Design[42:00] Agent Security for Individuals and Small Businesses[47:00] Enterprise AI: Governance, Trust, and Organizational Design[52:00] The Two-Word Future of Work: Always Changing---Connect with LaSean SmithLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laseansmith/Connect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm
Professor Tara Renton OBE brings four generations of dental history — and a career built on curiosity rather than ambition — to her conversation with Payman. From navigating undiagnosed dyslexia and a father who begged her not to follow him into dentistry, to becoming the first female chair of oral surgery at King's College London, her story is one of serendipity, resilience, and an almost obsessive interest in the patient behind the pain. She shares remarkable insights into orofacial pain — nerve injuries, psychosocial histories, patients whose chronic pain only begins to shift when someone finally takes the time to ask the right question — and makes a compelling case for multidisciplinary thinking in a profession she feels has been far too siloed for far too long. Sharp reflections on surgical safety, local anaesthetic technique, and the state of dental education sit alongside something warmer: a life philosophy that's disarmingly simple.

Over a career spanning more than 40 years, she has authored over 250 research papers, completed a PhD centred on morbidity following third molar surgery, established a pioneering multidisciplinary pain clinic at King's, and carried out extensive medico-legal work in surgical safety.

Have you thought about how your children will learn critical thinking skills? Right now, your child is learning what to love, what to mock, and what to call “true” long before they can explain it. That's the quiet battle behind screen time, peer pressure, music lyrics, and the endless scroll, and it's why we sat down with Dr. Renton Rathbun, longtime professor and parent advocate, to talk about raising kids who can actually think. This is an amazing conversation. Full of laughter but also full of wisdom and insight. We get practical about worldview formation and critical thinking for kids, including why simply banning content can backfire, and how supervised exposure plus real conversation teaches discernment. Renton explains why humans are wired as “story brains,” not fact machines, and why every family needs a clear template for meaning, truth, and standards. If you've ever wondered how to help your child evaluate ideas instead of just reacting to them, you'll leave with language you can use tonight.We also go straight at fatherhood and mentorship. Renton makes a strong case that dads drift into escapism when they feel tired or unsure, and that real change often requires an older, wise man to challenge and guide them. We talk about discipline versus mentoring, winning a battle but losing a child's heart, and the power of doing something simple but hard: being present, naming the good moments, and saying “I love you” out loud.You'll also hear the tetherball model that turns fuzzy “opinions” into clear questions: What do you believe? How do you know it's true? Can you justify it?
