Learn why employee productivity through AI orchestration is poised to become the fastest accelerator for top line business growth companies have ever seen, and how Slack is positioning itself as the conversational work platform for this transformation.The conversation explores the critical shift from employees as doers to orchestrators, where every team member—from day-one interns to seasoned executives—will manage digital coworkers and AI agents. Discover the product principles driving Slack's approach to agent integration, the social dynamics of working alongside AI teammates, and why the traditional career ladder is being replaced by immediate access to capabilities across development, creative, analytics, and more. The discussion also covers practical frameworks for building exceptional teams, reducing AI adoption anxiety, and why picking the "right" career path matters less than crushing the job you're in.Ryan delivers actionable insights on leadership development through self-awareness, understanding how team members receive feedback and recognition differently, and connecting business opportunities with talent growth.

Dom, Q, and ILL from Say Whats Reel dive into the 2005 remake of The Amityville Horror!

Sudan's collapse isn't a natural disaster — it's a deliberate act of imperial design.For decades, Washington has waged economic warfare and proxy conflicts to dismantle Sudan's sovereignty. Now, with Israel and the UAE leading the charge, Sudan is being stripped of its gold, oil, and independence under the banner of “stability.”In this episode, Mnar Adley exposes how U.S. policy, Israeli intelligence, and Emirati financing have turned Sudan into a war laboratory — and why its destruction is central to the West's war on the Axis of Resistance and China's Belt and Road Initiative.From the famine in Darfur to the blood gold flowing to Dubai, this is the architecture of U.S. imperialism at work — and a warning to every nation daring to defy it.Guests:Mnar Adley — Founder and director of MintPress News, host of Behind The HeadlinesAlan MacLeod — Senior Staff Writer and producer at MintPress NewsTopics Covered:U.S. sanctions and the deliberate destabilization of SudanIsrael and the UAE's proxy war roleThe theft of Sudan's gold and control of Red Sea portsWashington's strategy against China, Russia, and Iran in AfricaThe humanitarian façade behind imperial wars

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica Levinson unpacks the legal issues behind Jimmy Kimmel's temporary show suspension. She explains the distinction between private action by ABC and possible government coercion from the FCC or the President, outlining why the First Amendment generally protects speech from government—not private—actions. Jessica also discusses the limited circumstances under which the FCC could revoke broadcast licenses and what this case means for free speech and media organizations moving forward.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1. The Suspension and Return of Jimmy Kimmel's ShowJessica Levinson opens the episode by explaining the sequence of events around Jimmy Kimmel's temporary suspension from ABC after a controversial comment in his monologue. She emphasizes that although he has now been returned to air, the legal issues discussed still remain relevant.2. The Role and Limits of the First AmendmentA central theme is clarifying what the First Amendment protects. Jessica explains that the First Amendment limits government action against speech, not actions taken by private entities like ABC. If ABC alone had suspended Kimmel with no government involvement, it would not be a First Amendment issue.3. Government Involvement and the FCC's RoleThe episode explores concerns about potential government overreach, specifically whether statements made by the FCC chair or the President could constitute government coercion. Jessica details how, if the government pressures a private company to take action against someone's speech, First Amendment concerns are triggered.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

Swing for the Fences: A Deep Dive into Bull DurhamWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell as they welcome special guest Nate McWhortor—a self-proclaimed superfan—to discuss the 1988 baseball romance Bull Durham. This isn't your typical sports movie; it's a sultry, quotable journey through minor league baseball that explores love, mentorship, and the religion of America's pastime.The Church of BaseballThe hosts dive deep into what makes Bull Durham unique among sports films. Unlike major league fantasies, this movie captures the gritty reality of minor league baseball—from shitty buses to $20,000 salaries. Guest Nate McWhortor brings real-world perspective, having worked for the Montgomery Biscuits after college, inspired by this very film. The discussion reveals how writer-director Ron Shelton's own minor league experience creates authentic moments that resonate with anyone who's lived the unglamorous side of professional sports.The trio explores the film's adult themes and memorable dialogue, from Kevin Costner's gruff wisdom as Crash Davis to Susan Sarandon's Annie Savoy—a poetry-loving baseball groupie who mentors young players. They analyze the unique love triangle that develops and how the film balances romance with genuine baseball storytelling. The conversation touches on everything from the film's hard R rating to its Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.Key Discussion Points:The authenticity of minor league baseball portrayal and its impact on small communitiesKevin Costner's evolution from leading man to "grumpy Costner" in this breakout roleThe film's adult themes and quotable dialogue that baseball fans still use todayHow Bull Durham differs from other 80s baseball movies like Major League and Field of DreamsThe unique perspective of having a female narrator in a male-dominated sports genreFinal VerdictThe hosts deliver their "garter ratings" with Nate giving his favorite film a perfect 10/10, while Krissy and Nathan both land on a respectable 7/10. Despite some pacing issues in the final act, everyone agrees the film holds up as both a baseball movie and a romance, though they warn it's definitely not for young viewers despite its quotable nature.Connect with the ShowDiscover more episodes and get early, ad-free access plus bonus content by becoming a member at trustory.fm/join.

Sometimes the most courageous step you can take isn't chasing the biggest growth possible, it's deciding exactly what kind of life you want your business to support, and then building it that way.In this episode, I chat with Deborah Gidman from Resident Property who shares how she how she went from 14+ years working for others in WA's property management industry to starting her own boutique agency without a perfect business plan, without wanting to create an, empire, but with a clear vision for freedom, flexibility, and family involvement.Before taking the leap, Deb had the same doubts many aspiring business owners face: What if it fails? Will I make enough to live on? Am I really ready? She also knew that while her skills and experience were strong, running a business would bring a whole new set of challenges.Deb opens up about the financial safety net that gave her confidence to make the leap, the surprises she faced once she started, and how she's grown Resident Property into a family run business with her daughter and husband on the team. Her story is both practical advice and a reassuring reminder that you can design a business that fits your life, not the other way around.“ If you have an inkling that you would like to start on your own, go and run the figures. And yes, it is tough to start, but if you put your everything into it and you really go for it, you will be really glad that you did it.” -Deborah Gidman We explore:Why Deb chose to start a lifestyle business rather than chase industry dominationHow Deb financially prepared to leave her “safe” corporate roleThe overlooked challenges of business structure and why Deb's restructuring two years inWhat to expect when friends and family don't become your first clientsWhy social media consistency is essential even when you hate being on cameraThe mindset shift from “winging it” to setting and achieving sales goalsHow to work with family while keeping harmony and clear rolesThe advice Deb would give property managers on running the numbers before starting their own agencyKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Sensor Global: https://sensorinsure.com/ https://sensorglobal.com/ HD&U Sales Bundle:

In this message from our City of Light series through 1 Corinthians, we continue exploring Paul's vision for a Spirit-empowered, unified, and selfless community of faith. In a world plagued by self-promotion and isolation, Paul calls the Church to something radically different: a body where every part matters, every gift is valued, and every believer belongs.Whether it's the more “spectacular” spiritual gifts or the quieter gifts of helping, guiding, or encouraging—each one is indispensable. And when we honor one another's gifts, we defeat division, grow in empathy, and become the kind of Church that truly shines in a dark world.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, text the show.Welcome to The CallingWelcome, beauties. In this episode, we continue exploring the essence of healing and expand on the idea that healing is being and being is healing. As healers, guides, and light activators, our role extends beyond fixing and restoring, we are here to break limiting perceptions and expand consciousness.Today, I invite you to ask a profound question: If so many healers and light workers exist, why does the world not appear healthier? We will explore the unseen forces that shape our reality, the limitations we impose on ourselves, and the power of fully embracing our divine nature. This episode is a call to step beyond personal healing and into true transformation, for ourselves, for others, and for the world.Episode SummaryHealing is not just about solving problems or bringing things back to balance, it is about creating expansion. Yet many of us, as healers and light workers, unconsciously limit ourselves. We may hesitate to fully own our power, suppress our voices, or hold back our light.In this episode, I explore:The question of why so much healing work exists, yet the world still strugglesHow societal conditioning and self-imposed limitations prevent us from fully stepping into our roleThe power of faith and recognising ourselves as divine extensionsHow fear of power and responsibility holds us back from true impactThe importance of fully using our voice and embracing our role as creators and leadersThis is an invitation to reflect on what we are not seeing, what we are not doing, and how we can step beyond our personal healing work to create a greater shift in consciousness.Key TakeawaysHealing is not just about fixing - it is about expansion and transformation.Many healers unconsciously limit themselves due to fear, societal expectations, or doubt.To truly heal, we must embrace our divine nature and recognise ourselves as powerful creators.The world reflects our collective consciousness - by shifting our awareness, we influence global transformation.Our voice and presence are essential tools for healing - we must use them fully and without hesitation.True healing happens when our ability to receive divine wisdom matches our willingness to share it.Join the conversation in the comments: Share your reflections on how you embrace your divine power.Let's Continue This ExplorationIn what ways are you holding back your power, your voice, or your presence?How can you step beyond personal healing into a greater role of transformation?I invite you to reflect and share your insights in the comments. Let's expand this conversation together.Next Episode TeaserJoin me next time as we continue this journey of expansion, presence, and deep transformation.Until then, may you embrace your presence, your voice, and your divine power.
