You're not over-fat. You're under-muscled. That single reframe changes how you think about your weight, your energy, and how well you'll age. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a fellowship-trained geriatrician and the founder of muscle-centric medicine, has spent her career arguing that we've fixated on the wrong organ. Obesity, insulin resistance, even cognitive decline don't start where you think. They start in your muscle. She breaks down why muscle is your metabolic currency, your body armor, and the closest thing we have to a longevity drug. And why the protein advice most people follow was set during wartime rationing, not built for the life you're trying to live. The hard part isn't the science. It's that the changes stay subtle until one day they're not. This conversation will make you rethink every plate of food and every workout you skip.

"Take charge. Your retirement is your time." Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with Dr. Andi Simon, corporate anthropologist and author of Rethink Retirement, whose research offers a bracing corrective to how most people think about life after work. Andi spent years embedding herself in senior living communities on the west coast, interviewing residents who had done everything "right" financially and still found themselves empty, bored, and stripped of identity. Through it all, she's concluded that retiring from something is not the same as retiring to something. The central tension Andi identifies is one of agency. Retirement is a transition most people face without any rehearsal. Unlike a career, which assigns identity, purpose, and daily rhythm almost automatically, retirement demands that individuals build those things from scratch. Most people don't realize this until the calendar is suddenly, completely clear. Her research also surfaces a loneliness epidemic quietly accelerating among retirees. Work colleagues disappear, and friendships built around shared roles don't transfer easily. Also, relationships don't deepen automatically just because time is now available. Instead, they must be deliberately cultivated. Andi suggests trying new activities, building community intentionally, and recognizing which old roles to carry forward and which to release. Above all, she invites near-retirees to take charge, not just of their portfolio, but of the life waiting on the other side!   Key Topics: What is a Corporate Anthropologist?

Most marketers think great creative comes from better talent. Karen Pearce made a different case.In this Post Pod discussion, Marc and Vassilis reflect on their conversation with Karen Pearce, Partner at Rethink and one of the leaders behind some of the most awarded creative work in the world.The discussion explores why creativity often dies inside organizations before it ever reaches the market, how criticism can become a cultural trap, and why the best creative teams focus on finding sparks rather than flaws.They unpack Rethink's CRAFTS framework, the importance of psychological safety, the role of strong client-agency relationships, and why great ideas should start with human truths rather than channels.If you've ever wondered why some organizations consistently produce breakthrough work while others struggle to move beyond safe ideas, this conversation is for you.In this episode:Why creativity shouldn't feel scaryThe danger of rewarding criticism over contributionHow Rethink's CRAFTS framework shapes better ideasWhy relationships matter more than process aloneThe importance of psychological safety in creative teamsWhy ideas should come before channelsThe hidden systems behind award-winning creative workChapters00:00 - Introduction01:42 - Rethinking Marketing Culture04:21 - The Role of Creativity in Marketing06:58 - The Importance of Effective Creative09:53 - Expanding Creative Horizons11:33 - The Value of Independence in Agencies13:39 - Building Strong Client Relationships16:40 - Harnessing Human Truths for Creativity19:24 - Frameworks for Creative Success22:30 The Significance of Briefs in Marketing24:46 Consistency and Success in Creative Work

Dave West sits down with Mik Kersten, author of Project to Product and the upcoming Output to Outcome, to explore why AI amplification is exposing the real bottlenecks in how organizations work. Mik shares data from over 3,600 value streams showing that development teams account for just 8% of end-to-end delivery time which means making those teams faster with AI doesn't move the needle if the constraints are upstream and downstream.The conversation digs into why most organizations are measuring the wrong things (hint: token consumption is not a productivity metric), why overlay agile structures have largely failed, and why the answer isn't fewer teams it's more empowered ones. Mik introduces the core models from his new book: the outcome loop, the outcome tree, and seven organizational shifts that together make up a new operating model designed for the age of AI.Key Takeaways:The bottleneck has moved from software delivery to planning, governance, and innovation and most organizations haven't caught upMaking development teams faster with AI delivers little value if the surrounding system isn't designed around outcomesAgile as an overlay structure doesn't work it has to become the primary operating model and the actual org chartEmpowered, autonomous teams are not optional in an AI-driven world the speed of feedback loops makes half-measures unsustainableLeadership roles need to be redefined and incentive structures realigned to match the way teams are actually workingThe theory of constraints still applies in the age of AI the constraint just keeps moving, and finding it is now the critical management skillLinkshttp://outputtooutcome.org/

Most people assume award-winning creative work is a high-wire act: brilliant, risky, and impossible to repeat. Karen Pearce of Rethink makes the opposite case. Fresh off Ad Age's 2026 Agency of the Year and ADWEEK's 2025 Independent Agency of the Year, and as the most-awarded independent agency in the world last year, Rethink keeps producing famous, business-moving work on purpose.Recorded as a Cannes Lions lead-up, this conversation gets into the machinery behind the run. Karen explains why independence lets Rethink protect creative standards instead of chasing scale, why the client's real job is finding sparks rather than poking holes, and how the CRAFTS framework gives a whole agency a shared language for what good looks like. Karen walks us through the Heinz philosophy that every ad is a product ad, the go-then-grow approach that turns big swings into low-risk reps, and why, going into Cannes, she expects a reclaiming of human craft in an AI-flooded market.The through-line: bold creative shouldn't feel scary. Build the right system and the right partnership, and the work that wins awards is the same work that drives the business.Timestamps00:00 Find the sparks, not the holes02:08 What's behind the run: independence and the receipts05:48 Why great creative shouldn't feel scary09:12 Builders vs hole-pokers: the client's real job14:27 Famous brands outperform business metrics19:17 AI, human craft, and the IKEA sleep talkers22:42 CRAFTS: a shared language for great work30:57 Heinz: every ad is a product ad36:24 Go then grow: getting your reps in44:17 Idea first: when media becomes the creativeReferencesRethink: rethinkideas.comKaren Pearce: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/karengpearce/Rethink's Book: The Business of Creativity Referenced campaigns: IKEA “U Up” and IKEA organizer / Skittles out-of-home; Heinz “Looks Familiar” and the keystone ketchup pouch; Destination Canada; Coinbase craft-led film; Epitaph “garbage media” dumpster billboardsAnthropic “Keep Thinking” campaign for Claude, by Mother Awards context: Ad Age 2026 Agency of the Year

When Zohran Mamdani ran for mayor, he promised to reduce the NYPD's role in responding to issues like mental health crises and homelessness while investing in civilian alternatives. Six months into his administration, the mayor is planning to add hundreds of police officers, while Mamdani's proposed Department of Community Safety remains far smaller than what he campaigned on. WNYC and Gothamist reporter Elizabeth Kim explains how the mayor's approach to policing has evolved, why some supporters are frustrated, and what the shift could mean for public safety and politics in New York City.

The biggest threat to organizational resilience might not be technology disruption or AI at all. It might be the way we think about talent, especially who we decide is “valuable” when change speeds up and trust in leadership gets shaky.We sit down with executive and career transition coach John Tarnoff to challenge a stubborn workplace myth: that experience slows organizations down. John makes the case that multi-generational teams are a strategic advantage, and that “overqualified” often masks bias rather than truth. We talk about how mid-career professionals can communicate value without war stories, and how recruiters and hiring managers can redesign evaluation to look beyond a narrow job description and see team context, capability mix, and real impact.Then we get into networking and social capital. We don't sugarcoat it: performative engagement on LinkedIn can dilute trust. But networking itself is still core to career growth and organizational adaptability when it's done with intention, research, and a clear sense of what you bring to the table. From there, we tackle authentic leadership without oversharing, the difference between role and voice, and why reinvention isn't layoff churn but education, retraining, and leaders who model the change they demand.If you care about leadership trust, talent strategy, skills shortages, and building a human-centric workplace that can survive the decade ahead, this conversation will give you language and next steps.

A former C-level sales executive and multi-time President's Club performer, Jeff specializes in helping teams define “what good looks like” so success becomes repeatable and scalable.Through speaking, training, and advisory work, he helps leaders systematize the instincts of top performers, strengthen customer relationships, and build sustainable growth strategies. Jeff is also the author of multiple sales books, including Rethink the Way You Sell and Fundamentals of Prospecting, and is known for blending practical insight, humor, and real-world experience to elevate modern sales teams.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome sales strategist, author, and consultant Jeff Bajorek for a candid conversation about integrity, leadership, resilience, and defining what success truly looks like.Jeff shares a deeply personal reflection on a recent leadership role that ended after just six months. Looking back, he realized that while he was focused on driving change and having difficult conversations, he failed to first earn the trust of the people around him by listening, connecting, and understanding what success already looked like within the organization.The discussion explores the relationship between identity and performance, the importance of maintaining belief in yourself, and how professional setbacks often become the greatest catalysts for growth. Jeff explains why integrity is much more than keeping your word—it's the alignment between what you sell, who you sell it to, how you sell, and why you sell it.Listeners will also hear powerful insights on culture, self-awareness, defining "enough," and why true success starts with getting the right priorities right both professionally and personally.This is an honest and thought-provoking conversation about growth, humility, leadership, and the ongoing journey of becoming the person capable of achieving the results you desire.KEY TAKEAWAYSSelling from the heart begins with integrity—alignment between what you sell, who you sell to, how you sell, and why.Belief and confidence are not permanent; they require daily attention and reinforcement.Lasting results require personal transformation, not just better goals or systems.Leadership starts with trust. Before driving change, leaders must understand and earn the hearts of their people.Professional setbacks often provide the greatest opportunities for growth and self-discovery.More than one truth can exist at the same time—you can experience failure and still be proud of your effort.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESIntegrity is alignment between what you sell, who you sell it to, how you sell it, and why.Belief is a daily practice. The moment you assume it'll always be there, it starts to disappear.In order to achieve different results, you must become the kind of person capable of producing those results.I knew what good looked like, but I never stopped long enough to understand what good already looked like to the people around me.You can't lead people effectively until you've earned the right to influence them.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

This weeks sponsor: Crann From  Probio Carbon https://www.probiocarbon.ieConifers have spent years stuck in the “dated garden” box, but we're starting to see them differently and for good reason. After spotting standout examples in show gardens and design work, we talk through why conifers are quietly making a comeback and how a single well-chosen evergreen can add structure, texture and calm to a border all year round. If you've ever thought “conifers aren't for me”, this is the rethink. We also unpack a very real gardening problem: weather whiplash. Going from cold conditions to near 30°C heat and then straight back into wind and heavy rain doesn't just feel dramatic, it changes how plants grow. We share what we're seeing on the ground, from scorched seedlings in polytunnels to onions, garlic and leeks starting to bolt after heat shock, plus why fluctuating moisture levels can push plants into stress. With wetter conditions back, we flag what to watch for right now: slugs and snails appearing in big numbers and potato blight risk rising quickly, especially where soft growth has been knocked about by wind. Then we move into practical, listener-friendly conifer picks and care tips, including compact pines, classic trees like Cedrus deodara and Metasequoia, and evergreen staples such as Taxus baccata for hedging and clipping. If you enjoy these practical garden check-ins and plant-focused deep dives, subscribe to the podcast, share the episode with a gardening friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Rethink Ireland has launched the new €1.5 million Skills for Tomorrow Fund in collaboration with Deloitte Ireland and the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht. The fund will support innovative projects helping marginalised individuals and communities develop the skills they need to succeed in the future world of work. The fund will also support successful applicants to strengthen their impact through the practical and responsible use of artificial intelligence. Skills for Tomorrow will support up to nine organisations over 2.5 years, with cash grants ranging from €137,500 to €200,000. The fund comes at a time of shifting labour markets and rapid technological change, with increasing concern that individuals and communities already experiencing marginalisation risk being left further behind due to barriers to accessing education, training, digital literacy and employment opportunities. Applications are encouraged from projects and organisations focused on improving education and employment outcomes for marginalised groups including young people not in education, employment or training, long-term unemployed individuals, people with disabilities, minority ethnic communities, lone parents and those experiencing educational disadvantage. Launching the Skills for Tomorrow Fund, Deirdre Mortell, CEO of Rethink Ireland, said: "As the world of work continues to evolve, we need to ensure that people and communities already experiencing marginalisation are not further excluded from future opportunities. The Skills for Tomorrow Fund is about creating practical and inclusive pathways into employment, education and lifelong learning. "Through this fund, we want to support organisations that are already doing transformative work in communities across Ireland and help them scale their impact. We are also particularly excited to support successful applicants to explore how artificial intelligence can enhance and streamline the work they do every day." Welcoming the launch of the fund, Lorraine Griffin, Chairperson of Deloitte Ireland, said: "At Deloitte, we are proud to support this multiyear fund with Rethink Ireland. We understand that Ireland's future innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders will need new skills to meet tomorrow. Through the 'Skills for Tomorrow' fund, we are investing in innovative approaches that support education, digital skill development and training opportunities so more people have the opportunity to succeed in the modern economy. "As technology expands opportunity for those with access and skills, it can also reinforce barriers for those without. With the right support, more people can participate in and benefit from the future economy. Organisations serving communities are also facing rising demand and equipped with the right technology, they can do more and reach further." Reflecting on the impact of previous funding, Stuart Buchanan, Head of Advocacy & Impact at YMCA Dublin, an awardee organisation of Rethink Ireland & Deloitte's previous fund, said: "Funding like this can completely change what is possible for organisations working at community level. It allows us to reach people who often feel excluded from education, employment and digital opportunities and provide them with the confidence, skills and support they need to build better futures. "The long-term support from Rethink Ireland helped us grow our impact, strengthen our programmes and create meaningful opportunities for people who are too often left behind." The Skills for Tomorrow Fund is seeking applications from two strands, the first is organisations providing supports for young people; and the second is support for adults. Projects supported through the fund should demonstrate innovative and evidence-based approaches to future skills development, digital inclusion and workforce participation. Applications are now open and will close on 29 June 2026. Further information is available at https://rethinkireland.ie/current_fu...

In this episode of Awaken with Oliver, Oliver sits down with Kenya K. Stevens – self‑proclaimed best love coach on the planet, love shaman, and divorce stopper – to radically rethink what marriage, relationships, and commitment really mean. Kenya shares her five foundational principles for a thriving partnership and explains why ownership, shame, and blame have no place in modern love.Topics Discussed:The five base principles of a strong marriage: no shame and blame, no victims or villains, no cop‑outs or dropouts, purpose is growth (benefit is love), and “I create my life”Why open marriage won't make you happy – but ownership‑based monogamy won't eitherThe three parts of the self: animal (feelings), ego (storyteller), higher self (solution‑finder)How to stop shaming and blaming your partner by recognising you're looking at a reflection of yourselfEpisode Highlights:[00:00:03] – Kenya K. Stevens introduces herself: “I'm the best love coach on the planet. I stop divorces.”[00:00:14] – How she stops divorces: changing the underpinnings of marriage – no more ownership of another human[00:00:31] – Why an open marriage will not make anyone happy (and what actually works)[00:01:52] – The five principles of Kenya's own marriage: no shame, no blame, no victims, no villains, no cop‑outs, no dropouts[00:02:55] – Oliver's observation: 30‑year‑olds getting married, having kids, and becoming unhappy – they don't even like each other anymore[00:05:18] – The “up‑level” system: every challenge in your relationship is a reflection of yourself[00:07:45] – Breaking down the animal, ego, and higher self[00:09:30] – Can a submissive man become dominant again after years of being the “little bitch”?[00:11:14] – The alpha woman who wants her man to lead but can't stop leading herself – can she truly submit?[00:12:32] – The pattern: a submissive husband often had a dominant mother[00:13:04] – Polyamory and jealousy: why higher self solves jealousy, but ego never will[00:14:25] – Humans are hardwired for community[00:15:34] – The third option beyond animal urge and intellectual control: higher self[00:16:22] – “It takes a village” – and why one person can never give you everything you need[00:17:06] – When kids are involved: community becomes even more necessary, not less[00:18:20] – 40‑60% marriage failure rate for 80 years[00:20:15] – Oliver's personal journey: polyamory or just searching for one real connection?[00:22:53] – Kenya's final message if she had one day left to live: “I've been here since the beginning of time. Death is not real. Live as if you are infinite.”[00:23:18] – Kenya's advice to Oliver: “Take my course.

En este episodio de Let's Rethink This, converso con Elena Vidal sobre uno de los temas más malinterpretados en el mundo del trabajo: la cultura organizacional.Muchas empresas siguen viendo la comunicación, el bienestar, el reconocimiento y la salud emocional como temas irrelevantes. Pero la ciencia dice otra cosa. Hablamos de cómo una cultura positiva impacta directamente el engagement, el burnout, la retención y hasta la productividad de una organización. También exploramos por qué tantas compañías siguen atrapadas en modelos de liderazgo enfocados únicamente en resultados… aunque estén destruyendo a su gente en el proceso. Durante la conversación hablamos sobre:Qué realmente es la psicología positiva (y por qué no es “romantiqueo”)Cómo compañías como Google y Disney utilizan ciencia del comportamiento para crear culturas de alto desempeñoEl concepto de flow y cómo crear trabajos donde las personas puedan sentirse energizadas y no drenadasEl impacto de la inteligencia artificial en el cerebro, el pensamiento crítico y el trabajo humanoPor qué las nuevas generaciones ya no toleran culturas tóxicasCómo líderes y empleados pueden empezar a transformar la cultura desde donde estánEste episodio es una invitación a repensar cómo trabajamos, lideramos y construimos empresas. Porque sí, puedes tener resultados… sin destruir a tu equipo en el proceso.

Longer lives bring new changes and with the right strategy, those changes don't have to limit how you feel or function.In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti explains benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) with clarity and perspective. An enlarged prostate is often a normal part of aging, not a signal of cancer or immediate danger. The real question is how much does it affect daily life, and what can be done to manage it intelligently? He focuses on what actually moves the needle. Inflammation, body fat, and metabolic health play a central role in prostate growth and urinary symptoms, not testosterone levels. He breaks down practical steps like reduce excess body fat, managing inflammatory triggers, supporting the body with targeted antioxidants, and giving any intervention enough time to work.Rethink what's “normal,” and take one step today that improves how you live tomorrow.

The Early Church: reTHINK 5/31/26 by LifePath Church

The Australian sharemarket finished flat ahead of key economic data this week, including GDP figures and US jobs numbers. Ricardo Gonçalves speaks with Elio D'Amato from EnviroInvest about the day's market moves, rising oil prices and BHP's record high. Plus, Kelly Power, CEO of CFS Superannuation, explains why Australians now believe they need more than $1 million to retire comfortably and why many expect to work longer before leaving the workforce. Also, housing expert Tim Lawless warns national property prices could begin falling from next month as higher interest rates, a slowing economy and policy changes start to weigh on the market.

Australia's EV market is shifting rapidly, with Chinese brands now dominating sales and Korean makers strengthening their position through disciplined rollouts. David Brown and Paul Murrell examine how pricing, supply and consumer confidence are reshaping the industry, while also debating subsidies, public transport planning and the future of urban travel. The program also revisits the reborn Citroën 2CV EV concept, explores the Kia Tasman ute in detail, and looks at why motorists remain frustrated with intrusive driver-assistance technology. Episode Breakdown • Chinese EV dominance in Australia — 00:00:55 • Fuel uncertainty driving EV sales — 00:09:50 • Chinese government subsidies explained — 00:13:26 • Victoria's bus and transport funding — 00:18:01 • Driver frustration with in-car tech — 00:27:14 • Reborn Citroën 2CV EV discussed — 00:35:01 • Kia Tasman ute road test — 00:41:51 Chinese EV dominance in Australia David Brown and Paul Murrell discuss how Chinese manufacturers now account for more than half of Australia's EV sales, led by BYD. They examine Tesla's fluctuating sales, Kia's steady growth strategy and Hyundai's more adventurous styling approach. The conversation explores why consumers are embracing EVs faster than expected, driven partly by global fuel uncertainty and broader model choice. They also debate how design, stock availability and pricing influence buyer confidence. Fuel uncertainty and changing buyer behaviour The pair analyse March and April EV sales surges, highlighting strong performances from BYD, Geely, Kia and Hyundai. They note that percentage growth from brands such as Toyota and Subaru suggests mainstream buyers are increasingly open to EV alternatives. They argue the market is no longer simply about low prices, but about supply, practicality and broad product ranges. Chinese subsidies and manufacturing strategy Paul outlines the scale of Chinese government support for EV makers including BYD, Geely and Great Wall Motors. The discussion broadens into manufacturing policy, industrial strategy and whether Australia lost long-term capability when local car production ended. Public transport and the “city of cities” Victoria's planned bus investment sparks a broader conversation about transport planning. David argues buses are undervalued because they connect dispersed suburban trips rather than just CBD commuting. The discussion covers decentralisation, the “15-minute city”, Sydney's village-like structure and whether future transport investment should prioritise local accessibility over mega-projects. Driver frustration with vehicle technology A UK survey on annoying in-car technology prompts debate about lane assist, seatbelt reminders and autonomous systems. Both hosts agree convenience technologies such as parking sensors and navigation are appreciated far more than intrusive safety interventions. They also discuss over-the-air software updates, long EV service intervals and concerns about road-sign recognition systems. Reborn Citroën 2CV EV The hosts examine reports of a modern electric reinterpretation of the Citroën 2CV. They discuss whether retro-inspired design can succeed commercially, comparing the potential newcomer with the Volkswagen Beetle reboot and the enduring success of the Mini. The original 2CV's simplicity, practicality and clever engineering remain central to the discussion. Kia Tasman ute road test Review of Kia's new Tasman ute, noting its bold styling, roomy cabin and broad pricing spread. They discuss its positioning against the Ford Ranger and other established rivals, along with off-road capability, tyre choices and diesel efficiency. The Tasman's practicality, quiet cabin and interior design impress, though the lack of hybrid or electric options raises questions about long-term competitiveness.

Schneider Electric and Motivair showcase how AI is reshaping cooling and power systems inside modern data centres Irish Tech News joined a group of international technology and infrastructure media in Buffalo, New York last week for a Schneider Electric-hosted briefing and site visits focused on the infrastructure emerging around AI computing. The programme included presentations from Schneider Electric engineers and executives, a visit to Motivair, the liquid cooling company acquired by Schneider Electric in 2024, and tours of TeraWulf's expanding AI infrastructure campus in New York State, where Schneider Electric technologies are being deployed as part of the wider infrastructure buildout. A major theme throughout the visit was the speed at which new cooling, power and infrastructure solutions are now being deployed as AI systems dramatically increase computing density inside modern data centres. For years, most data centres relied mainly on air cooling. Chilled air circulated through server halls to remove heat generated by computing equipment. That model worked reasonably well for earlier generations of enterprise computing and cloud infrastructure where heat densities were lower. Companies such as NVIDIA have dramatically increased the processing power packed into these systems, particularly for AI training and inference workloads. The result is that modern AI racks can generate far greater levels of heat than previous generations of computing infrastructure. According to Tuan Hoang, Head of Product Development and Innovation for Schneider Electric's cooling business, traditional air cooling systems are now approaching practical limits at very high rack densities. "Liquid cooling allows us to do that," Hoang told me during the visit. "It has 4,000% more heat capacity than air." At the Motivair facility and later at the TeraWulf site, journalists were shown examples of liquid cooling systems now being deployed beside high-density AI infrastructure. See photo above. Instead of relying entirely on chilled air circulating through server halls, the systems use liquid circulating through cooling units connected into server environments to remove heat more efficiently and closer to the chips themselves. The visual impression is quite different from the public image many people still have of data centres. Large pipework systems, cooling units, power systems and engineering infrastructure increasingly dominate these environments as AI deployments scale. Hoang stressed repeatedly that air cooling is not disappearing entirely. "It is still necessary," he explained, particularly for wider facility environments and supporting infrastructure. What is changing is the balance between air and liquid cooling as AI workloads become denser and more power-intensive. Another major theme during the Buffalo visit was speed. AI infrastructure operators increasingly want facilities operational as quickly as possible because expensive GPU systems only generate returns once deployed and running. That pressure is driving growing interest in modular infrastructure, prefabricated systems and repeatable engineering designs which can be deployed more rapidly than traditional bespoke builds. The scale and pace of construction at the Lake Mariner TeraWulf campus reflected that urgency. One AI-focused facility is already operational while further expansion continues across the wider site. Hoang also discussed the growing challenge of adapting existing data centres for AI workloads rather than building entirely new facilities from scratch. "A lot of customers are trying to retrofit existing data centres," he said during the interview, explaining that many operators are now attempting to adapt infrastructure originally designed for lower-density cloud computing. That pressure is one reason modular cooling systems and repeatable infrastructure designs are becoming increasingly important as AI deployments scale. The discussions also highlighted how AI is be...

  Workslop – low-quality work produced through poor human-AI collaboration – is wasting time, slowing teams down and limiting the productivity gains leaders expect from AI. But the problem isn't always the technology – it's often a signal to leaders that teams need more support. Workslop often reflects unclear standards, weak direction and poor feedback. In this episode, BetterUp CEO Alexi Robichaux explains why AI can amplify both good and bad leadership standards, and why leaders need to define what excellent work looks like before AI scales a team's output. He also shares how AI coaching can help managers find ways to hone hard-to-improve soft skills, practicing difficult conversations, tricky performance reviews and tough feedback, all in a safe space before those moments happen with real teams. Key takeaways in this episode: AI amplifies clarity or confusion. Set clear standards before AI scales your team's work. Workslop is a leadership warning sign. Poor AI output can reveal unclear direction and weak feedback. It can be a sign teams need more guidance or support.  Managers need practice. AI coaching can help leaders sharpen direction and rehearse how they give feedback or tackle difficult conversations. Rethink how you invest in people. AI investment is overwhelming planning conversations. But are you putting that diligence into how you develop your talent?

Shang Saavedra is a personal finance expert who helped me rethink frugality in a liberating way. Our conversation explored the emotional roots of our money habits, revealing how mental health significantly impacts financial literacy. Shang shared her personal story of living off 20% of her income during her twenties, not out of scarcity, but with the goal of buying time and freedom later. This approach was truly eye-opening, showing me that frugality can lead to joy when it's aligned with our values. Shang's inspiring and compassionate approach left me feeling more empowered and hopeful about my financial journey, and I hope sharing her insights will motivate you to embark on your path to financial freedom too.

Jesus never hid the cost of following Him. When He called fishermen from the shores of Galilee, His invitation was more than “come believe in Me.” It was, “Follow Me, and I will send you out…” Following Jesus meant leaving comfort behind, stepping into the work of ministry, and learning to trust Him through pruning, sacrifice, rejection, and perseverance. The same invitation still stands today. In a world where it’s easy to settle for comfortable Christianity, Jesus calls His people to something deeper—to remain in Him, bear much fruit, and join Him in His mission to seek and save the lost. The question is not simply whether we believe in Jesus, but whether we are truly following Him. And while the pruning can be painful, the life He produces through surrendered disciples is worth it. Join us this weekend as we open God’s Word together and re-think what it really means to follow Jesus. Come be encouraged, challenged, and reminded not to lose heart in the process God is using to grow lasting fruit in your life. -Pastor Ben Key Verses: Matthew 9:37-38 (NIV) - Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49597919

Jason Shepperd built a megachurch that has no small groups. Instead, more than 4,000 people across Houston meet weekly in dozens of house churches, each one led by an unpaid lay pastor with a day job: firefighters, business owners, real estate guys doing the actual pastoral work of the church. He calls it "a church of house churches" and it might be the most unusual functioning church structure in America.In this conversation, Jason sits down with Jeremy McCommons and Alex Rossie to break down how the model actually works, why he believes the traditional church model is broken, and what he learned reading the New Testament that he couldn't unsee.We get into:- Why a house church is fundamentally different from a small group- How lay pastors (firefighters, business owners, real estate guys) do the actual pastoring- Why Church Project runs on one-quarter the staff of a typical megachurch its size- Why Jason refuses to call this a "model he invented" and what he means by eDNA- How Church Project gives away nearly half its operating budget every year- Why most church buildings are bad stewardship (and how Church Project's building pays for itself)- The "three D's" that hold the whole structure together- What Jason would say to a 35-year-old church planter who's tired of the traditional modelIf you're a pastor, a small group leader, a church planter, or someone who's quietly wondering whether there's a better way to do church, this one is for you.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 The stewardship of space and spiritual gifts1:15 Meet Jason Shepperd and Church Project3:30 What is the church, actually?8:45 Why Jason started Church Project12:10 What eDNA means and why it matters16:20 House church vs. small group: the real difference22:00 The three D's: distributed, decentralized, diverse28:40 Sunday gatherings without centralization33:15 What Jason says to pastors considering this model39:00 How Church Project handles finances44:30 Why most church buildings are bad stewardship49:00 Pirates and cruise ships: how to build without tearing down

AI is changing more than workflows — it is changing what teams are, how leaders lead, and what kinds of people businesses need next. In this episode, Ryan Alford talks with Veronica Shelton, co-founder of Oak Theory, about accessibility, inclusive design, neurodivergent thinking, leadership without ego, and why curiosity is often the trait that separates good founders from great ones. They also go deep on the practical side of AI adoption: how roles are blending, how companies can stay lean without losing humanity, and why resisting change is no longer a viable option. Ryan connects with Veronica especially around founder leadership, team evolution, and the challenge of helping people adapt to a world where AI is becoming part of nearly every role. The result is a smart, current conversation for anyone building a company, managing creative work, or trying to understand where modern work is actually headed.

The episode reveals a structural shift in the technology landscape: artificial intelligence is becoming a new layer of managed consumption, with measurable impact on infrastructure, contract terms, and operational accountability. This shift is illustrated by leading technology platforms explicitly metering AI usage through compute tokens, storage footprints, and local model deployments. Companies such as Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are integrating AI not only as features but as quantifiable workload layers, leading to economic and governance questions regarding who controls consumption and who assumes the risk of overage or misuse. The most consequential development discussed is the rapid, capital-intensive scaling of AI infrastructure by leading hyperscalers. Alphabet raised its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to a possible $190 billion; Amazon's AWS revenues rose 28% year-over-year to $37.6 billion, with quarterly capital expenditures reaching $44.2 billion— both moves directly tied to AI infrastructure investments. At the same time, endpoint and storage vendors, such as Apple and Backblaze, are experiencing elevated demand from AI workloads. On the software side, companies like Anthropic are explicitly raising API rate limits and deploying features to formalize the measurement and orchestration of AI-driven processes. Supporting developments include the migration of management and control functions into enterprise platforms and endpoint environments. Microsoft Agent 365 is now broadly available, offering admins centralized policy controls over AI agents across cloud and local machines, with integration into Intune for granular restriction and monitoring. Google's Chrome browser now automatically downloads 4GB Gemini Nano models to support local AI functions, raising new operational considerations around storage, policy management, and user approval. These developments anchor the thesis that AI is no longer a passive toolset but a consumption and policy domain that requires active oversight. Operationally, MSPs and IT service providers face heightened exposure to contract and governance risk. The presence of invisible AI consumption— in the form of storage expansion, token overages, unauthorized agent actions, or degraded endpoint performance— requires explicit clauses in client agreements and new monitoring capabilities. Providers unable to demonstrate control over AI usage, policy enforcement, and exception handling may inherit both support burdens and unresolved liability. The practical implication is clear: future margins and contract viability will increasingly depend on the ability to meter, document, and govern AI-related activities, rather than simply enabling client access. 00:00 AI Infrastructure Surge  04:17 Control Layer Wins 06:41 MSP Liability Shift 10:50 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  ScalePad CometBackup Moovila 

Graham Stephan was relentless about one thing before he had anything else: not spending money he did not have to spend. He calculated the gas cost of visiting a friend and decided it was not worth it. Most people would call that extreme. He calls it the foundation. The habits he built early, consistency, focus, and ruthless saving, did not feel heroic in the moment. They felt boring. But boring done every single day is what compounded into real estate commissions, YouTube income, and an investment portfolio split evenly between property, index funds, and cash. What he did not do was wait until he felt ready. He held off on starting his YouTube channel for years because he did not have a Lamborghini like the other guys. When he finally started, none of that mattered. The deeper conversation here is about what money actually means once you have enough of it. Graham is not chasing a bigger number. He wants to buy back his time, to read a book on a Tuesday if he feels like it. That shift from accumulation to freedom is where this episode gets genuinely interesting.
