 In the ALL 5 GOLDEN BUZZER Britain's Got Talent 2018, a Magician proved that the future has already processed in the past…He proves it when he lets the jury do 5 random tasks…The last 2 tasks were:1.) A judge should twist a Rubik's Cube Magic from the order (every side has one specific color) to a random pattern where every side has unique colors…You agree, Easy to do.2.) Another judge (Simon) should circle one random word with a pencil in a book with 200.000Words. The magician or anybody else (including this member) could see the encircled word.  And then the magician showed a video where his baby guessed correctly these different tasks, even the baby was twisting and matched the Rubik's Cube Magic pattern and put the correct side upwards like the jury member and pronounced the word that the jury member had encircled...In the Shrimad Bhagavantam Krishna proofs again and again, the future is already processed and so the outcome… So we don't have to worry; the results are already there…This means, we are sitting in a movie and watching our life, our life is just like the film roll that turns around… Still, we are anxious, angry… But for what? Our life has already happened.And so we should be calm and composed all the time because everything has happened already…Exactly that proved the Magician in the Show “Britain got talents”. I don't think it was fake…If we trust our intuition we will experience what we already thought will happen.Somehow the Bible is confirming that:Faith can move mountains…This means with our faith we experience our future. My Video: Real Magic? https://youtu.be/EX3QoHmSwgsMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/Real-Magic.mp3

Mike texted me:  "How do you interpret Jesus' command to love your enemies?" Several long voice memos later, and we decided to schedule a date with some professional microphones and a competition Rubik's cube. This conversation dives into the depths of how we should understand Jesus' commands. Are they to be interpreted as wisdom or as black and white rules that must be kept under every circumstance? 

Just a lil heads up, there won't be an episode for 11/07. We'll be back for episode 159 soon after, though!

Ryan first started experiencing a cognitive dissonance with regards to relationships pretty much from the beginning of dating in high school. In many ways, relationships just didn't make sense to him in his twenties so he basically took a break and focused on things he did enjoy rather than trying to force his way into the dating game. At about age 30 Ryan discovered some books and podcasts that introduced him to the idea of non-monogamy and polyamory and the rest is history… He dove right in. Over the last 14 years Ryan has been practicing non-monogamy in various configurations including a quad, a triad, and also being with his partner monogamously as life required at times. Ryan also shares his experience in navigating relationships as someone who realized a few years ago in his late thirties that he's autistic. As he describes it “It would be easier for me to solve a Rubik's cube with my feet while blindfolded than to read non-verbal and social cues.” Even though he doesn't have a medical diagnosis, his realization is helping him find tools that have made a huge difference in his life. This is a wonderful conversation and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Check out the full show notes here.

What does it really mean when GPT-5 “thinks”? In this conversation, OpenAI's VP of Research Jerry Tworek explains how modern reasoning models work in practice—why pretraining and reinforcement learning (RL/RLHF) are both essential, what that on-screen “thinking” actually does, and when extra test-time compute helps (or doesn't). We trace the evolution from O1 (a tech demo good at puzzles) to O3 (the tool-use shift) to GPT-5 (Jerry calls it “03.1-ish”), and talk through verifiers, reward design, and the real trade-offs behind “auto” reasoning modes.We also go inside OpenAI: how research is organized, why collaboration is unusually transparent, and how the company ships fast without losing rigor. Jerry shares the backstory on competitive-programming results like ICPC, what they signal (and what they don't), and where agents and tool use are genuinely useful today. Finally, we zoom out: could pretraining + RL be the path to AGI? This is the MAD Podcast —AI for the 99%. If you're curious about how these systems actually work (without needing a PhD), this episode is your map to the current AI frontier.OpenAIWebsite - https://openai.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/OpenAIJerry TworekLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-tworek-b5b9aa56X/Twitter - https://x.com/millionintFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro(01:01) What Reasoning Actually Means in AI(02:32) Chain of Thought: Models Thinking in Words(05:25) How Models Decide Thinking Time(07:24) Evolution from O1 to O3 to GPT-5(11:00) Before OpenAI: Growing up in Poland, Dropping out of School, Trading(20:32) Working on Robotics and Rubik's Cube Solving(23:02) A Day in the Life: Talking to Researchers(24:06) How Research Priorities Are Determined(26:53) Collaboration vs IP Protection at OpenAI(29:32) Shipping Fast While Doing Deep Research(31:52) Using OpenAI's Own Tools Daily(32:43) Pre-Training Plus RL: The Modern AI Stack(35:10) Reinforcement Learning 101: Training Dogs(40:17) The Evolution of Deep Reinforcement Learning(42:09) When GPT-4 Seemed Underwhelming at First(45:39) How RLHF Made GPT-4 Actually Useful(48:02) Unsupervised vs Supervised Learning(49:59) GRPO and How DeepSeek Accelerated US Research(53:05) What It Takes to Scale Reinforcement Learning(55:36) Agentic AI and Long-Horizon Thinking(59:19) Alignment as an RL Problem(1:01:11) Winning ICPC World Finals Without Specific Training(1:05:53) Applying RL Beyond Math and Coding(1:09:15) The Path from Here to AGI(1:12:23) Pure RL vs Language Models

In dieser Folge ist die Autorin Raphaela Edelbauer zu Gast. In ihrem neuen Roman “Die echtere Wirklichkeit” schreibt sie über die philosophische Terrororganisation Aletheia, deren Mitglieder die absolute Wahrheit gegen Verschwörungstheorien und alternative Fakten verteidigen. Dass die Ich-Erzählerin des Buches eine notorische Lügnerin ist, stellt das zentrale Thema des Romans zusätzlich auf die Probe und macht die Suche nach Wahrheit zum spannenden Rätsel.Warum es ihr beim Schreiben wie beim Lösen eines Rubik's Cubes ging und wo ihr Philosophie-Studium im Buch durchscheint, erzählt Edelbauer im Gespräch mit Petra Hartlieb. Außerdem schildert sie, wie es ist, sich in die Welt einer unsympathischen, erbarmungslosen Protagonistin hineinzuversetzen und inwiefern das neue Perspektiven erlaubt.Mit einem Buchtipp von Barbara Tóth aus der FALTER-Redaktion!Zu den Büchern dieser Folge:“Die echtere Wirklichkeit” von Raphaela Edelbauer“Jede Sekunde” von Nicolas Mathieu Hosted on Acast.

MONSTER PARTY REVISITS THE ERA OF ROLLERBLADING, BEANIE BABIES, THE MACARENA… AND TERROR!!!! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD honor the last part of a decade that brought us so many seminal films. If you thought our previous '90s HORROR episode was “da bomb,” you're guaranteed to go nuclear when you hear… '90s HORROR VOL. 2!!! The 1990s were an exciting and innovative time for horror films, with the latter half of the decade boasting some downright game-changers. With THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, we saw the explosion of the found footage genre that is still popular to this day, and the Japanese showed us the dangers of sitting too close to the TV with RINGU! If that didn't change your horror movie game enough, David Fincher gave us the ultimate worst-case mystery box scenario in SEVEN, Wes Craven made horror meta with SCREAM, and M. Night Shyamalan peaked early with THE SIXTH SENSE. But we're not even close to this episode's EVENT HORIZON! We'll also look at a creepy ice cream vendor (aren't they all?), a castle freak, some self-improvement cannibals, a Rubik's Cube of death, an evil genie, Chucky's better half, a Hardrock Cafe for vampires, and so much more! Too bad all of it was lost in the devastation caused by Y2K. Joining us for this second dose of '90s chills is an award-winning friend of the show, and really, the only guest for this subject. He was the editor in chief of the legendary FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine, the genius behind the blog, IT CAME FROM..., the writer/director/producer of the IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS longform documentary series, as well as the '80s sci-fi documentary IN SEARCH OF TOMORROW. His latest project is the shockingly episode appropriate mega doc, IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS: 1995-1999! Honestly, what were the odds?! Please welcome back the always scintillating… DAVID WEINER!! '90 HORROR LIVES! AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, TALK TO THE SEVERED HAND!

Zachary even got in a good burn at Tropea's expense due to his lack of cubing skills, and handed him a tiny, one-cube "puzzle" while saying, "This is one even you can solve." Zachary's puzzle kit. h/t Vince Tropea, County 10 Check out the following video of Zachary solving a cube in the KOVE studio lounge in just over 19 seconds, as well as the full Coffee Time interview below.

L'armée israélienne a annoncé samedi poursuivre ses opérations à Gaza malgré des appels des familles d'otages et de Donald Trump à cesser immédiatement les bombardements, après un accord du Hamas pour libérer tous les captifs. Le Hamas a dit vendredi qu'il était prêt à libérer les otages et à négocier. Avant cette annonce, notre correspondante a rencontré Vicky Cohen, la mère d'un soldat enlevé le 7 octobre 2023. Avec notre correspondant à Jérusalem, « Il n'y a pas d'objectifs à cette guerre, cela fait deux ans et il y a toujours 48 otages à Gaza. L'un d'eux est Nimrod, mon fils », raconte Vicky Cohen. La fatigue se lit sur le visage de cette mère de famille fluette. Elle reste cependant déterminée. Vicky ne travaille plus depuis deux ans, son combat quotidien : faire rentrer son fils, otage à Gaza. Chaque matin, elle enfile un t-shirt sur lequel est dessiné le visage de Nimrod, un portrait tout en douceur. « Il est très calme, très timide, sensible, modeste. Il aime jouer avec son Rubik's cube. Il a un monde intérieur qui, j'espère, l'aidera à survivre et a gardé l'espoir d'être bientôt de retour à la maison », confie-t-elle. Nimrod faisait son service militaire près de la bande de Gaza lorsqu'il a été enlevé par le Hamas, le 7 octobre 2023. Il avait 19 ans. Vicky Cohen est certaine que son fils est vivant, les dernières preuves de vie datent du mois de mars : « Le Hamas a diffusé une vidéo sur laquelle on ne voyait pas son visage, mais j'ai reconnu le tatouage sur son bras. Nous avons su immédiatement que c'était lui. C'était la première preuve visuelle qu'on avait. J'étais dans un état de grande excitation. Il était sur ses pieds, il bougeait. Mais j'étais aussi très inquiète pour lui. Je ne sais pas dans quelle situation physique et mentale, on ne connait pas ses conditions de détention. Je sais juste qu'il est vivant ». Lorsqu'elle a appris que l'armée israélienne intensifiait ses opérations dans la ville de Gaza, Vicky a fait des insomnies, imaginant le pire pour son fils. Elle ne décolère pas contre le gouvernement israélien qui, dit-elle, n'en fait pas suffisamment pour faciliter le retour des otages : personne ne les tient au courant. « De temps en temps, on nous envoie des messages WhatsApp. Dans ces messages, il n'y a aucune information. Les informations que l'on obtient viennent de la presse », reproche-t-elle. Vicky est convaincue que le Premier ministre Benyamin Netanyahu prend ses décisions en fonction de son agenda politique. Chaque samedi à Tel-Aviv, Rehovot, Jérusalem, Vicky manifeste pour que la guerre à Gaza s'arrête. À lire aussiOtages à Gaza: le combat de Vicky Cohen pour le retour de son fils Nimrod

We all love detective stories: we enjoy watching, reading, listening to them. Sherlock Holmes's adventures are our all-time favorites. We love guessing who the mastermind is, which move from the criminal to expect, who the next victim will be, what the main evidence is. When we were kids, many of us dreamed of becoming policemen, right? Riddles are a new way to stimulate our brains to go along with some kind of investigation. Human beings are curious and they can't resist solving an interesting puzzle: be it Sudoku or a Rubik's cube. Our brains need practice and some refreshing exercise. Just like our bodies! Without exercise we get lazy and lose our muscles and without brain exercise we stop being quick minded. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What happens when three horror nerds who think too much throw on House of Wax and Thir13en Ghosts? Absolute chaos. That's what. This week we tried, and failed, to traverse two of our favorite horror films from the mid-2000s, only to spiral into oblivion trying to figure out how Jared Padalecki's face survives being ripped off (spoiler: it doesn't), debate whether Chad Michael Murray was secretly trying to hook up with his sister (ew), and spend way too much time wondering who the hell supplied Vincent with enough wax to build an entire two-story house in the Louisiana swamp. (Home Depot? Yankee Candle? Satan?)Then we dive face-first into Thir13en Ghosts, a movie where Tony Shalhoub basically gets tricked into living in a giant glass Rubik's Cube of Death while Matthew Lillard screams like he just stubbed his toe for 90 minutes. We argue about which ghost is the most effective, whether the lawyer's death by glass door is the greatest kill in horror history, and laugh over F. Murray Abraham being out-acted by a floating torso.Along the way, we spiral into:•The tragic marketing genius of “Come see Paris Hilton die!” shirts.•Why horror in the 2000s was peak teenage chaos (hello Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, Final Destination 2, and Wrong Turn).•Wax being the least sustainable building material unless you live inside a refrigerated Costco.•A slow-motion breakdown of Kurt Russell's mustache in Tombstone (because yes, we went there).Basically, it's horror movie night with zero adult supervision.If you're into horror hot takes, wax-based architecture criticism, and hearing three idiots laugh about Tony Shalhoub's ghost problems, hit play now.CREEP-O-RAMA is:Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CREEP-O-RAMA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@creep-o-rama⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@joshblevesque⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artwork: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@bargainbinblasphemy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@imfigure⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Audio:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@stranjlove

Of er nu echt een bestand komt in Gaza is nog niet zeker. Hamas wordt in feite voor de keuze gesteld door te vechten of zichzelf op te heffen, en Netanyahu liegt ofwel tegen Trump dat hij akkoord gaat met de opmaat naar een Palestijnse staat, ofwel tegen zijn rechtse coalitiegenoten die daar mordicus tegen zijn. Artikel 19 van Trumps 20-puntenplan opent de weg voor ‘een geloofwaardige route naar Palestijnse zelfbeschikking en een staat’, en daarvoor heeft Netanyahu getekend. Thuis herhaalde hij zijn stokpaardje: die staat komt er niet. Het was ongetwijfeld de reden om na de aankondiging van het akkoord met Trump op het Witte Huis, geen vragen van journalisten te willen beantwoorden. Hamas staat voor het probleem dat de eis om de wapens in te leveren niet uit de koker van Trump komt, maar uit de Arabische en islamitische wereld . Ontwapenen plus de optie om te kiezen voor gratie is niet bepaald wat Hamas voor ogen stond. Je zou zeggen: dat is buigen of barsten, maar Hamas kan ook kiezen voor de bloedige optie van doorvechten. Los daarvan: de uitvoering van het vredesplan wordt, zoals Thomas Friedman van de New York Times het uitdrukt, ‘het oplossen van een diplomatieke Rubik’s Cube per dag. Wat het Trump-plan, met alle mitsen en maren, onderscheidt van de pogingen van de rest van vooral de westerse wereld is dat het is gebaseerd op een mogelijk akkoord, en niet op het middel van straf. Geen dreigementen met sancties, handelsbarrières, boycots en internationale rechtszaken. Wel voornemens over wederopbouw, geen felle discussies over erkenning van Palestina, of over genocide door Hamas en Israël. Dat is opmerkelijk omdat daar in de over het algemeen positieve reacties, vooral uit de westerse wereld, ook niet aan wordt gerefereerd. Het Nederlandse kabinet viel over maatregelen tegen Israël, het demissionaire kabinet viel daar ook over – een unicum in de geschiedenis van de parlementaire democratie. Als het plan-Trump blijkt te werken, is al die woede en emotie – en die dubbele kabinetsval – dan voor niets geweest? Het worden spannende dagen!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most entrepreneurs have a powerful story inside them—but too often, it stays untold. Without authority and visibility, opportunities slip by, and their message never reaches the audience it could transform. That's where Melanie Johnson comes in. After running two $100 million TV stations, she launched Elite Online Publishing and has since helped over 3,000 entrepreneurs become bestselling authors. By combining her media expertise with today's AI tools, Melanie shows business leaders how to turn their stories into authority, influence, and massive opportunities. https://youtu.be/cCjMhksoRRI In this episode, Melanie reveals why publishing is one of the most effective ways to build credibility, how AI is changing the landscape of writing and content creation, and the strategies entrepreneurs can use to go from invisible to unforgettable. Whether you're a coach, consultant, or founder, you'll discover how to leverage your story as a business asset, create lasting impact, and position yourself as the go-to expert in your industry. Quotes: “A book can be the cornerstone of your content. From one book, you can create thousands of pieces of marketing.” “Self-publishing should really be called DIY publishing—because unless you hire experts, you're trying to learn plumbing, electricity, and construction all at once.” “Most authors think, ‘I wrote my book, I'm done.' But that's when the real work begins—marketing, leveraging, and selling.” “Confidence is the biggest barrier. Even presidents of NFL teams wonder, ‘What if my book sucks?'” “In business, in writing a book, there are ups and downs. It's like a Rubik's Cube—just keep moving the pieces until they line up."

Welcome back to Mini Miracles from Minor Moments! I'm Linda, and today's episode is all about the things we can and cannot control, the fads that come and go in our culture, and the value of staying connected with others. From hula hoops and Rubik's Cubes to TikTok dances and food crazes, fads reflect how quickly life shifts. Alongside these observations, I'll share a practical method called Take 5 that helps us reset our minds and find clarity in busy moments. Life brings us moments we can manage—like calling the dog inside—and situations beyond our control, such as technology breaking down. Both invite us to practice patience and perspective. We'll reflect on fads of the past, how they influence culture, and why they matter more than just being short-lived trends. I'll also introduce you to the Take 5 method, a refreshing tool for mental resets. Finally, we'll talk about the importance of staying connected with people of all ages and backgrounds, since relationships and conversations give us strength, clarity, and joy. Key Takeaways We all face situations we cannot control, but our response makes the difference. Fads are short-lived trends that reveal cultural values and create conversation starters. Past fads included hula hoops, Rubik's Cubes, and slap bracelets; today's include TikTok dances and food crazes. Asking whether something is meaningful or just a trend helps us make wise choices. The Take 5 method encourages mental resets: take breaks, engage actively, reduce distractions, stop multitasking, and refocus. Staying connected with others—friends, family, or new acquaintances—keeps us fresh and inspired. Giving and sharing resources, whether time, wisdom, or belongings, strengthens our communities.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Kevin Jackson Show, where we don't just call a spade a spade—we call it a shovel and start digging for the truth. Today's topic? Why do we allow insanity to run the political asylum? I mean, when did we decide that lunacy gets the corner office while sanity's stuck in the mailroom sorting junk mail?Let's start with a nod to the great Dave Chappelle, a man who's out here slinging comedy so sharp it could cut through a Kevlar onesie. I watched his latest special, and oh boy, he went in on the Alphabet community—y'know, the folks who've turned the rainbow into a 71-gender Rubik's Cube. And the trannies? He roasted ‘em like chestnuts on an open fire. Classic stuff. Truly epic.

Does your life feel out of control? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, angry, and resentful, and no matter how hard you try to be nice, or kind, or considerate, you only end up feeling worse? Dear One, that is no accident, as you will learn in this incredible breakthrough episode podcast.  Before Lisa A. Romano was diagnosed with codependency, she lived her life prioritizing others' needs, unaware that her lack of self-awareness, her inability to put herself first, or even to have her needs recognized, was rooted in trauma and missing information. Once Lisa was diagnosed with codependency and learned from an intuitive therapist that she was the adult child of unrecovered adult children of alcoholics, and possibly even dry alcoholics, the wheels in her mind started to turn. From there, Lisa hit the books and the ground running, consuming every book and mentor she could to help her unwind her mind from self-loathing, hypervigilance, negative self-talk, insecurity, and deep feelings of shame and inadequacy. By adding new data into her data bank of self-understanding, through a ferocious and tenacious will, slowly Lisa's entire inner self-perception began to shift, and like a Rubik's cube, her life started reorganizing itself.  Lisa A. Romano is the first to tell you that healing is ugly, terrifying, and lonesome, and she will also ask that you accept the quest despite this, because it is the only way to break through the thick matrix caused by generational trauma. If you are the adult child of an alcoholic, or if you were raised by toxic, narcissistic, wounded, immature, or codependent parents, or if you grew up in what seemed like a normal family but felt emotionally neglected, this podcast episode will resonate with you.  This episode is a must-listen if you: Grew up with a parent who struggle with alcoholic parents. You are the grandchild of an alcoholic. You feel stuck, angry and like your life is out of control. Ache to understand yourself, and how your subconsicous mind controls your emotions, reactions, thinking, and your expectation all outside of conscious awareness.  ✨ Pro tip: Understanding how your childhood has impacted how you 'think' today, how you 'react', and what you expect to occur in your life is you activating metacognition. Childhood trauma resides at the subconscious. Lisa's methods help you breakthrough! Begin Your Healing Journey: Lisa introduces her signature 12 Week Breakthrough Method—a trauma-informed, psychologist approaved, neuroscience-based coaching program designed for adult children of narcissistic, neglectful, or emotionally immature parents.

What if revival isn't an event, but a new normal? In this Revive Week message, guest speaker Drew Worsham (pastor, church planter, and Christian illusionist) opens Acts 4 to show how the early church lived with a clear message, were marked by Jesus, and were motivated by the cross, and why we can't “come have revival and then go back to normal.” Drew shares a memorable Rubik's Cube illustration, powerful gospel clarity, and a call to move from performance to proximity to Jesus. If you've ever felt spiritually “scrambled,” this message will help you place your life in the hands of the One who can truly transform it. Key Scriptures: Acts 4:1–22; Ephesians 2:1–5; John 15:1–5; Romans 1:16 Big Idea: The gospel isn't about making bad people good; it's about making dead people alive in Christ. 3 Anchors from Acts 4 Message Was Clear — “There is salvation in no one else…” (Acts 4:12) Marked by Jesus — People could tell they had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13).

Have you ever felt like losing weight is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded? The struggle is real, right? It's not just the simple formula that diets try to tell us it is. It's an emotional rollercoaster filled with frustration, self-doubt, and - let's be honest -  the occasional forbidden love affair with a pint of ice cream.  But what if it didn't have to be that way? Instead of a tortuous grind, what if it could be thought provoking game? Picture this: You, with a magnifying glass, examining your weight loss journey like a fascinating puzzle rather than a daunting problem.  Here's a question: What if, instead of blaming ourselves for every little hiccup in our fitness routine, we approached weight loss with curiosity and a beginner's mind? In this episode, we're talking about how a book that has nothing to do with weight loss can inspire you to think about weight loss in a whole new way. And if there's nothing else that you get from this episode, there are 4 words that map out the repeatable process you can use to turn your weight loss experience around from painful to puzzling. From shaming and blaming to wondering and learning.  So, are you ready to ditch the shame, put on your science goggles, and approach weight loss like a puzzle instead of a pain the petunias?  That's right.

HOLLYWOOD - US expatriate, English teacher and author Mr. Barlow Crassmont, a winner in the Writers of the Future Contest for his story, "The Boy from Elsewhen," is published in L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 41 which was recently awarded the Gold Metal in the Anthology category at the 8th Annual American Fiction Awards. The awards recognize mainstream and independent titles for top honors. Mr. Crassmont currently lives in Tieling, China where he resides and works as an English teacher. Armand Diab, who writes under the pen name, Barlow Crassmont, has lived in the USA, Eastern Europe, Middle East and China. When not teaching English or writing speculative, fantasy, and science fiction, he dabbles in juggling, solving the Rubik's Cube, and learning other languages (his Spanish is coming along nicely). He has been published by British Science Fiction Association, Wilderness House Literary Review, and in Dark Speculations: Volume 1, by Little Red Publishing. "The Boy From Elsewhen '' was inspired by the current social climate across the globe. Everywhere one goes, regardless of country or nation, most people are endlessly staring at their smartphones, unable to look away, and often neglecting other humans around them for the sake of technology. As the dominant species on Earth, we are becoming too dependent on our hand devices, but are no smarter for it. In fact, I feel if the trend continues (and I see no evidence that it won't), future generations won't be able to construct a single solitary thought without AI's assistance. Let's hope that that day, at least, is in the far distant future, after me Daniel Montifar was destined to be an illustrator. Born and raised in Queens, New York, known as the "world's borough" for its rich cultural diversity, Daniel appreciated the melting pot of influences, including his Bolivian and Filipino heritage. Surrounded by art wherever he went in NYC and being raised by a Star Wars loving mom and a dad with a treasure trove of comics dating back to his high school days, his early fascination in the realm of sci-fi and fantasy fueled his passion for drawing. He became the kid who always had a sketchbook in hand, capturing scenes from his imagination wherever he went. Prior to the pandemic, while still a freshman in high school, he moved to Houston, Texas where Daniel delved deeper into the world of art. This transition was a pivotal chapter in his artistic evolution, as he honed his skills and explored new artistic horizons. His work won several competitions including the Golden Key Scholastic Art Award and the AIGA Worldstudio Award.

We're counting down the days until the publication of The Hallmarked Man! Nick Jeffery and John Granger take perhaps the last look at Rowling's most recent postings before they dive into discussion about the meaning and artistry of Strike8.In today's conversation, they review Rowling's relationship with Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight series, a New York Times feature article ‘The Wizard's Everlasting Spell' about the growth of Potter fan fiction with a romantic twist, and Rowling's acerbic review of Nikola Sturgeon's memoir Frankly. Nick and John discuss along the way the initial response of cultural gatekeepers to the quality of the writing in Harry Potter, the history of Rowling's relationship with the writers of romantic fan fiction using her characters in light of Fifty Shades of Gray, and Hogwarts Professor's role in making ‘Rowling Studies' legitimate and the culture-wide acceptance of Rowling as a writer of merit “something we've always known” rather than a controversial assertion.And what does all that have to do with the imminent release of Hallmarked Man? Nick and John share their more-than-tentative plans for reading Strike8 and the best way — not the only way, of course, but a much better way than, say, cataloging predictions everyone will forget by mid-September — to prepare for our first reading of an epic Rowling-Galbraith title.We hope you are as excited as we are to the advent of Hallmarked Man and that you're looking forward to exploration of its breadth and depth beneath the surface plot with us in the coming month!Links To Subjects Discussed Above:The Wizard's Everlasting Spell Why Magic, Dragons and Explicit Sex Are in Bookstores Everywhere: Romantasy is propping up the fiction market. Thanks to a generation that grew up reading about a boy wizard. (The New York Times, 20 August 2025, Alexandra Alter)The new version of the [‘Dramione' Potter fan fiction] story that so captivated Ms. Stallone will soon be released as “Alchemised,” and the novel's publisher, Del Rey, is betting that the feverish devotion to its fanfiction predecessor will translate into blockbuster sales. Del Rey has ordered a first printing of 750,000 copies for the novel's release in late September; translations are lined up in 21 languages.Besides appealing to hordes of existing fans, “Alchemised” has another advantage: It taps into the raging appetite for romantasy, a subgenre that blends fantasy elements like magic, fairies and dragons with love, yearning and explicit sex.In a way, the romantasy explosion — driven by the success of blockbuster authors like Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros, whose series have sold millions upon millions of copies — stems from the legacy of popular young adult series like “Twilight” and “Harry Potter.” Those books molded generations of young readers who have grown up but still crave big fantasy novels — now with a dose of erotica.“They grew up with the characters, and the stories ended, but there's still such a huge appetite,” said Leah Hultenschmidt, publisher of the romance imprint Forever. “They're still hungry for that magical world building, an epic cast of characters and heroism, and maybe they just want it a little spicier.”Publishers are frantically searching for the next breakout romantasy series. Last year, romantasy sales topped more than 32 million copies in print alone, a 47 percent jump over the previous year, according to Circana Bookscan. Five of the 10 best-selling adult fiction titles this year are romantasies. At the same time, adult fiction sales overall have stagnated.The kind of romance that's selling like crazy now — erotically charged genre mash-ups — first took off in fanfiction before publishers recognized there was an appetite for it.“For a long time, you had to go to fanfiction to find that,” said Anne Jamison, a professor of English at the University of Utah who has studied fanfiction. “Romantasy basically is what fanfiction made.”* Alchemized Sen Lin Yu* ‘Romantasy' Novels on Amazon, Etc.The twilight of Nicola Sturgeon: J.K. Rowling reviews FranklyI know I'm stating the obvious, and I'll probably be one of countless reviewers making the same point, but it's impossible to read Nicola Sturgeon's memoir without remembering the smash hit fictional franchise, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. For those who don't know (ie, everyone who wasn't a tween or teenage girl, or living with one, 2005-2015), Twilight was massively popular for roughly a decade, each new book or film being greeted adoringly by its devoted fans.

But I keep it and I play with it like a Rubik's cube and there'll come a point where everything clicks and it's ready to be written. I have a lot of notebooks filled with these kinds of things.

Healthcare payments consume between $650 billion and $1 trillion annually in billing and insurance-related costs—an amount comparable to the entire U.S. Defense Department budget. At the heart of this staggering inefficiency lies a fundamental problem: when patients receive care, nobody actually knows in real-time whether the insurance will pay for it. Mike Desjadon, CEO of Anomaly, spent nearly two decades in healthcare payments before building a company to solve this core issue. In this episode, we explore how Anomaly is creating "payment assurance" for healthcare—bringing the same real-time payment certainty that exists everywhere else in commerce to an industry desperately in need of it. Topics Discussed: The massive scale of healthcare billing costs and why precision is impossible at this scale How the complex coding system (ICD, CPT, revenue codes) creates a "ridiculous Rubik's Cube" of payment determination Why healthcare lacks payment assurance while every other industry has real-time payment certainty The fundamental information asymmetry between providers and insurers that drives administrative waste Anomaly's approach to using AI and machine learning to predict payment outcomes early in the care process The strategic decision to focus exclusively on providers rather than serving both sides of the market   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Avoid "Annual Curiosity Revenue" in favor of deep customer relationships: Mike warns against chasing what he calls "ACR" - contracts driven by curiosity about new technology rather than real value. Instead of racing to accumulate surface-level customers, Anomaly focuses on 1-5 anchor customers where they forward-deploy engineers and dedicate leadership attention. As Mike explained, "I'd rather take a much smaller amount of those trusted pitches... find me 10 of the right conversations, don't find me a hundred surface level conversations." In healthcare's 14-month sales cycles, shallow relationships burn runway without building sustainable growth. Match your go-to-market strategy to industry realities, not investor expectations: Healthcare's long sales cycles and conservative nature require a fundamentally different approach than traditional SaaS growth models. Mike structured Anomaly's capital and hiring strategy around 14-month sales cycles rather than trying to compress them. "If you know that it's a 14 month sales cycle... being realistic about those timeframes and those capital structures, you just make sure your plan on burn matches your plan on strategy." This meant hiring customer success and engineering talent before traditional sales roles, aligning team composition with the actual customer adoption process. Segment ruthlessly based on transformation readiness: Not every healthcare organization is ready for transformative technology. Mike emphasizes the critical need to identify whether prospects are "looking for transformation" versus "looking to automate an isolated process." He shares that distinguishing between these segments determines the entire sales approach. Organizations seeking transformation are willing to work through implementation complexity for substantial outcomes, while those seeking automation want predictable, incremental improvements. Misreading this distinction leads to failed sales cycles and misaligned product development. Use forward-deployed engineering as a competitive advantage: Rather than traditional customer success managers, Anomaly deploys engineers directly to customers during implementation. This approach proves particularly valuable in AI/ML applications where the technology is rapidly evolving and customer needs aren't fully defined. Mike notes, "Having engineers in that has been hugely valuable for us because we're able to really quickly deliver value, very quickly deliver outsized value." This strategy enables rapid iteration, builds deeper technical trust, and often leads to expanded contracts through demonstrated capability rather than traditional sales pitches. Build category credibility through case studies, not connections: In healthcare, having impressive investors or warm introductions matters far less than demonstrating proven results with known organizations. Mike emphasizes, "What you need in healthcare is slapping six case studies down the desk... show me the six organizations that I know that you work with that are going to tell me I should work with you." This insight drives Anomaly's entire early-stage strategy—prioritizing customer success and measurable outcomes over rapid customer acquisition, building the credibility foundation needed for future sales acceleration.     //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Send us a textWhen a headhunter asked Budd Bentley, "How do you feel about chickens and eggs?" in late 2019, it marked the beginning of a transformative journey. After decades in automotive engineering and technology development, Bentley was about to step into the unfamiliar world of poultry technology as President of PMSI (now Prism Controls).In this revealing conversation with Brandon Mulnix, Bentley shares his unlikely path from solving Rubik's Cubes as a child to leading innovation in agricultural technology. His early career at Prince Corporation taught him a foundational principle: everyone starts on the manufacturing line because "what makes money is when we send product out the door." This grounding in practical operations would shape his leadership philosophy throughout his career.Bentley's entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-found a mobile app development company in 2005—two years before the iPhone existed—where he learned valuable lessons about innovation timing and market readiness. When he eventually joined the poultry technology sector in January 2020 (just before COVID-19 changed everything), he brought fresh eyes to an established company. "I didn't even know what end of the chicken the egg comes out," he jokes, but he recognized the passionate team's potential for growth through process implementation.Under Bentley's leadership, Prism Controls grew from 28 to 44 people while developing crucial new technologies like Reach, Eggsite, and Therm. His secret? "Embrace the process, and the process will set you free." By documenting workflows, separating operational activities from innovation, and implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System framework, the company created a structure that could scale without losing quality or customer focus.As Bentley prepares for his next challenge as President of Big Dutchman USA, he reflects on what makes the agricultural technology sector special: the directness of farmers as customers. "You don't have to spend mental energy thinking about what they really mean or what they're really thinking, because they just tell you," he explains. This refreshing honesty allows technology providers to focus entirely on problem-solving rather than decoding communications.Whether you're new to agricultural technology or a seasoned professional, Bentley's journey offers valuable insights into leadership, process development, and industry transition. Listen now to discover how documenting the invisible can transform organizations and set innovation free.Hosted by Brandon Mulnix - Director of Commercial Accounts - Prism ControlsThe Poultry Leadership Podcast is only possible because of its sponsor, Prism ControlsFind out more about them at www.prismcontrols.com
