This week Erin tells us about John Rodney McRae, a convicted serial killer who murdered 8-year-old Joey Housey in 1950 at age 15, was paroled in 1972, and later was convicted again for the 1987 killing of 15-year-old Randy Laufer.Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rodney_McRaehttps://murderpedia.org/male.M/m/mcrae-john-r.htmSupport the show

This past weekend, Rev. Rufus Smith continued our Dear Corinth series with a message on how to win people with the Gospel. We should strive to win others to show them the way of salvation and to shield them from destruction, and we do this by being culturally flexible.

More than 50 years after his role in the Senate's Watergate investigation, a North Carolina political veteran is taking a look back at his career and how the political world has changed.Rufus Edmisten recently turned 85 and has had a long career in North Carolina, from working with U.S. Sen. Sam Ervin on the Watergate investigation to serving as attorney general and secretary of state and facing a scandal of his own. Edmisten spoke to WUNC News' Colin Campbell at his law office in downtown Raleigh, chatting about his career, the current state of Congressional hearings and his forthcoming book about civility in politics.

Why do some people seem to create opportunities wherever they go while others spend years waiting for the right break? According to Cate Hall — lawyer turned poker player turned drug addict turned CEO of a $3B foundation — the difference isn't luck. It's the ability to question assumptions, reject the default path, and realize the world is far more malleable than it seems. In this episode, Rufus and Cate explore what it really means to become a high-agency person — a.k.a. someone who just does things. Together, they unpack why ambition isn't the same as agency, how fear of embarrassment and an obsession with hard work hold us back, and why curiosity, unconventional thinking, and expanding your "surface area for luck" are the keys to creating extraordinary opportunities. Cate's new book, You Can Just Do Things, is out now.

MONDAY MANNA - "CAN GOD?" (BRO. SAM RUFUS) - 6th April 2026

"Rufus and Rose or The Fortunes of Rough and Ready" by Horatio Alger Jr. follows the journey of Rufus, an older brother who takes on the responsibility of caring for his sister after escaping their troubled home life. Set against the vibrant backdrop of nineteenth-century New York City, this tale explores themes of honesty, hard work, and the role of luck in overcoming adversity. As Rufus navigates challenges posed by a world filled with counterfeiters and moral dilemmas, listeners will find enduring lessons about resilience and the importance of mentorship. Alger's stories continue to resonate today, reminding us of the timeless struggle for success and the values that guide us through life's trials.

Rev. Rufus Smith resumed our Dear Corinth series with a powerful charge to lay down our personal rights for the communal rights of all Jesus followers, especially when our goal is to save or deepen our relationships with others.

Este fin de semana hablamos de festivales, pues Alberto Barbera ha anunciado ya los títulos que veremos en la 83ª edición de Venecia, en la que faltan mujeres directoras y con la presencia en competición de dos coproducciones españolas: 'Búnker', de Florian Zeller y protagonizada por Penélope Cruz y Javier Bardem, y 'Sucederá esta noche' de Nanni Moretti. Si nos venimos un poco más cerca, aquí en España, concretamente en Mallorca, comienza el Atlàntida Film Fest, así que hemos hablado con su director, Jaume Ripoll. Además, hay estrenos muy interesantes que comentar. Desde Francia llega 'El sueño americano' y desde Argentina, 'La mujer de la fila'. También de allí, pero en coproducción con Uruguay y España es 'El mensaje'. Una comedia española familiar llega a la cartelera, 'Tres de más', protagonizada por Kira Miró, Salva Reina y Luna Fulgencio; y con los más pequeños también se pueden disfrutar las animadas 'Rufus' y 'Jumbo'. Pero espérense, porque esta semana hay de todo. Si les gusta el terror pueden ver 'Insaciable' y si, en cambio, prefieren pasar un rato más divertido, ya está disponible en Apple TV 'Dink'. En 30 minutos les ponemos al día de todo.

First, a few numbers. This year Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta will spend more than $700 billion building AI infrastructure. There are 1,500 data centers in development across the country. AI-linked stocks make up at least 40% of the S&P 500. These are the kinds of numbers that make some economists jumpy. If this whole AI thing doesn't pan out, they warn, we're headed for the mother of all crashes. But Azeem Azhar is not one of those economists. He and his team recently spent months turning the AI economy inside out, and they just released a report called The State of the AI Economy. It contains surprising answers to what has become an increasingly pressing question: is this the biggest bubble ever blown, or are we building the durable machinery of a radically more abundant world? In this conversation, Azeem joins Rufus to unpack why AI adoption is growing faster than the internet or mobile, what Wall Street and Silicon Valley may still be getting wrong, and why the most important skill in an AI-powered future may have nothing to do with AI. Along the way, they explore energy, jobs, investing, AI safety, and what exponential change means for the next generation.

The Champion's Corner UnpluggedS1 (Bars & Breakthroughs)Recorded & Aired Date: March 31, 2025ALL NEWBars & Breakthroughs - Season 1The Notorious B.I.G. - "Mo' Money, Mo Problems"• Bars & Breakthroughs - Cultural Reflection + Life Application• Kitchen Table Talk + Real Talk with Rufus (Unfiltered Discussion Flow)Bars & Breakthroughs begins with a thought-provoking conversation inspired by one of hip-hop's most recognizable classics, "Mo' Money, Mo Problems" by The Notorious B.I.G.In this episode, Rufus explores the deeper truth behind the iconic lyric, challenging the common belief that more money, more success, or greater influence automatically leads to greater happiness. While financial growth can create opportunities, it also introduces new responsibilities, pressures, expectations, and decisions that require wisdom and intentional stewardship.Through cultural reflection, practical life application, and faith-centered insight, this conversation examines how people often chase increase without preparing for the responsibility that comes with it. Listeners are encouraged to consider whether they are pursuing wealth for status or stewarding the blessings they have with purpose, gratitude, and integrity.More isn't always the answer.Sometimes the breakthrough is learning to manage what you've already been entrusted with.Success without wisdom can become a burden, but stewardship creates peace, purpose, and lasting fulfillment.This episode reminds us that true wealth is measured not only by what we possess, but by how faithfully we manage what God has placed in our hands.Stay Safe.

Helium 10 releases a super-powerful MCP that will revolutionize the way you manage your Amazon accounts. New data shows that AI and Alexa for shopping have not decreased the number of people using the Amazon search bar to enter keywords.   We're back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10's VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10's newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level. Helium 10's new MCP is changing the way Amazon sellers research, analyze, and take action on marketplace data by connecting Helium 10 directly with AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. Now available to Diamond and above users, the Helium 10 MCP lets sellers ask natural-language questions and instantly pull insights from tools like Black Box, Cerebro, Brand Analytics, Keyword Tracker, and Helium 10 Ads, without manually downloading reports or switching between multiple dashboards. In this episode, Bradley Sutton shows how sellers can uncover product opportunities, analyze competitor keyword rankings, review historical Brand Analytics and Cerebro data, and build smarter advertising strategies in minutes instead of hours. For more Helium 10 MCP strategies, skills, and advanced seller workflows, follow Bradley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast/ and follow Bradley Sutton on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/h10bradley/   TikTok Shop Bans AI Voices From Live Commerce Streams: Violations Now Dent Account Health Score https://www.techtimes.com/articles/320624/20260715/tiktok-shop-bans-ai-voices-live-commerce-streams-violations-now-dent-account-health-score.htm New Data Proves Amazon Keyword Searches Have NOT Been Replaced by Alexa! Bradley Sutton breaks down a new Helium 10 research study analyzing whether Rufus, now Alexa for shopping, has significantly changed how shoppers search for products on Amazon. Despite the growing conversation around AI replacing traditional keyword search, the data shows that Amazon search volume, clicks, and conversion behavior have remained largely consistent from 2024 through 2026, with no major shift away from keyword-based shopping. While Alexa for shopping may be useful for product discovery when shoppers are unsure what they want, Bradley explains that most buyers still use the search bar when they already know what they are looking for, making keyword research and listing optimization just as important as ever. The key takeaway: sellers should not ignore Rufus/Alexa for Shopping optimization, especially for listing questions and product-page interactions, but traditional keywords are far from dead. To see the full breakdown and data behind this study, read Bradley's full blog here: https://www.helium10.com/blog/breaking-news-amazon-keyword-search-is-alive-well/ Amazon Seller Central News: Use new pallet delivery ship option for your business customers https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-news/articles/QVRWUERLSUtYMERFUiNHRDhCQUg1UlkyV1hGQkE1 New Feature Alert!

There's been a lot of talk recently about Amazon's AI shopping tools, with some people claiming they'll completely change how customers shop and others saying that Amazon SEO is dead.So, what does this actually mean for UK sellers?In this episode, I'm breaking down what we know so far about Amazon AI for Shopping, including Rufus and Alexa for Shopping, and separating the facts from the fiction.I explain how these new AI powered shopping tools work, why Amazon is investing so heavily in them, and what they could mean for the future of product discovery on Amazon.Most importantly, I share what I think you should actually be focusing on right now, without getting caught up in the hype.If you're selling on Amazon, or you're planning to, this episode will help you understand what's changing, what's staying the same, and how to make sure your listings are ready for the future of Amazon AI for Shopping.One thing I really wanted to do with this episode was cut through some of the noise. There are lots of headlines suggesting everything is changing overnight, but I don't believe that's the case.Instead, I think this is another reminder that good Amazon listings have always been about helping customers understand your product. AI is simply giving customers another way to find that information.Whether you're already selling on Amazon or you're planning to launch your products soon, understanding Amazon AI for Shopping now will help you stay one step ahead as these tools continue to develop.Chapters00:00 Introduction00:45 Why Amazon AI for Shopping matters02:18 What Rufus actually does04:36 How Rufus uses your product listings06:59 Alexa for Shopping explained08:09 Debunking the biggest AI myths10:26 What sellers should focus on now13:02 AI powered advertising and sponsored prompts14:45 My own Rufus testing and what I found16:15 My biggest takeaway for Amazon sellers17:30 Join my free Amazon Seller Support and Connect sessionLET'S CONNECTFollow me on YouTubeFind me on InstagramWork with me Buy My Book: Bring Your Product Idea To LifeIf you enjoy this podcast, and you'd like to leave a tip, you can do so here: https://bring-your-product-idea.captivate.fm/supportMentioned in this episode:Amazon Made Easy is now openMy membership, Amazon Made Easy is now open.

Can music transform the brain and body? Recorded live at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, with 11-time Grammy Award winner Chaka Khan and MD Anderson neurosurgery assistant professor, concert pianist, and music medicine researcher Dr. Mei Rui for a conversation inspired by Rufus's classic “Tell Me Something Good.” Together they explore the neuroscience of rhythm, music as medicine, Chaka's early years in Chicago, the profound role music has played in connecting with her nonverbal nephew Tallon, and how emerging research may benefit neurodivergent communities. This episode was produced in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Chaka Khan Foundation, and MD Anderson Cancer Center.

En mystisk medaljong har hittats i sarkofagen. Är den värdefull? Mäktig? Eller kanske helt obetydlig? Dessutom säger vi hejdå till den tappre och lojala Rufus, vars öde beseglades nere i graven.

“Beat it Rufus” is a “2025 graphic novel by Noah Van Sciver about Rufus Baxter, an aging, delusional hair metal musician clinging to his 1980s rock-god fantasies while living a life of failure, eviction, and bad decisions, leading him on a psychedelic road trip to a wedding gig in Wyoming where he confronts his past”.…

In support of perhaps the greatest female vocalist of them all, from 1974-1983 he played a central role in Chaka's equally fantastic band.  Those amazing years included three consecutive No. 1 R&B albums with two more going top 5, as well as the classic hit songs “Once You Get Started,” “Sweet Thing,” “Dance Wit Me,” “At Midnight,” “Hollywood,” “Stay,” “Do You Love What You Feel,” “Ain't Nobody,” and too many others to mention.  Maiden, who also worked extensively with Billy Preston, thrived in the years after Rufus, collaborating with artists such as Rene and Angela, Janet Jackson, the Isley Brothers, Lionel Richie, Sheila E, and Jeffrey Osborne, as well as jazz artists like Al Jarreau, George Duke, Jeff Lorber and Gerald Albright. He was also one of Prince's favorite guitarists. In his first extensive interview since a life-altering auto accident nearly 10 years ago, Maiden reflects on his magnificent musical career.  RECORDED MAY 2026 Brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET and hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist and author of “Everything Is on THE ONE: The First Guide of Funk” ― TRUTH IN RHYTHM is the interview show that gets DEEP into the pocket with contemporary music's foremost masters of the groove.

"We're entering our 250th birthday, and we're not quite in the mood for a birthday party. We've been tearing ourselves apart." That's what Walter Isaacson told Rufus when they sat down last year. But, he says, it doesn't have to be that way. "Let's use this birthday party as a chance to try to heal some of the divides." Walter's latest book is The Greatest Sentence Ever Written. That sentence? “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Yes, it's eloquent, but more than that, it gave the United States a mission statement, one that we are still striving — fitfully, imperfectly — to meet. With America's 250th birthday just a few days away, we think it's the perfect time to revisit this conversation with Walter about how that sentence came to be written, what it meant to the founders, and why it still matters today.

On Thursday, Rufus and Robert Wright (The God Test) talked about AI as a new stage in the evolution of intelligence — and about the very human traits already showing up in our machines: empathy, deception, power-seeking, seduction.

In dieser Folge gehen wir der faszinierenden Geschichte von Simon von Kyrene nach, dem Mann, der das Kreuz Jesu tragen musste. Wir entdecken, warum Markus überraschenderweise auch seine Söhne Alexander und Rufus erwähnt und was das über die frühe Gemeinde verraten könnte. Außerdem schauen wir auf die wichtige Rolle von Kyrene und Nordafrika in der Ausbreitung des Evangeliums. Schließlich verfolgen wir die mögliche Verbindung zwischen Rufus, seiner Familie und dem Apostel Paulus. Dabei entdecken wir, wie Gott durch eine Begegnung mit Christus nicht nur ein Leben, sondern ganze Familien und Generationen verändern kann.

Nearly half of all Americans believe AI is bad for humanity. Peter Diamandis is not one of them. On his podcast, Moonshots, and in his new book, We Are as Gods, co-written with the inimitable Steven Kotler, he makes the case that artificial intelligence is already ushering in a world of abundance — think radical life extension, 10 billion humanoid robots, and agents that do your job while you're sipping a latte. He knows it may not be all sunshine and hydroponic roses, but he believes our future is incredibly bright. And he's putting his money where his mouth is: XPRIZE, the nonprofit he founded more than 30 years ago to bankroll breakthroughs, just announced it's giving $3.5 million to filmmakers who conjure convincingly optimistic visions of the future. Rufus and Caleb don't have their film treatment ready yet, but they do have plenty of questions for Peter and Steven about flying cars, the future of work, worst-case scenarios, and the new commandments for working with AI.

Nicholas Epley is a mind reader. But he doesn't have ESP or practice hypnosis. He's not telepathic or clairvoyant. Sure, you could ask him to read your fortune, but you'd be better off with a Magic 8 Ball. When we say Nick is a mind reader, what we mean is he studies mind reading at the University of Chicago — studies, as he puts it, "how we make inferences about each other's thoughts and beliefs and attitudes, and mostly how we screw that up." Today, he makes small talk — and big talk — with Rufus about his new book, A Little More Social, which draws on the dozens of studies he's run with thousands of participants to show that talking to strangers, cringe as it may feel, can enliven your days, lengthen your life, and maybe even heal our politics.

Today, he's the founder of The Next Big Idea Club and host of The Next Big Idea podcast, where he interviews some of the world's most influential thinkers.

On this episode we talk about: Lessons learned from building and selling multiple digital media companies Why most successful entrepreneurs fail before they succeed The importance of persistence, timing, and learning from mistakes Rufus's unconventional investing philosophy and focus on technology stocks How financial independence creates the freedom to do meaningful work Top 3 Takeaways Entrepreneurship is often a game of persistence.

Before you dive in… this is part 2 of a 2-part series, so don't be that person who starts a movie halfway through and asks what's going on. Go watch/listen to part 1 on the AM/PM Podcast first, where Bradley breaks down the AI and product research strategies that set up this Maldives Honeymoon launch strategy: https://h10.me/am526 In this special episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton returns to the Maldives for episode 750 and breaks down his latest “Maldives Honeymoon” launch strategy. This time, he shares the exact tactics he recently tested to get new products to page one for multiple keywords in less than five days. From keyword research to listing optimization, this episode is packed with launch strategies for Amazon sellers who want to give their products the strongest possible start. Bradley explains why a successful launch begins before PPC campaigns ever go live. Sellers need to study competitor reviews, analyze TikTok Shop reviews, look at Rufus questions (Quick note: Rufus is now rebranded as Alexa for Shopping), and understand what kind of images are working in their niche. He also walks through several ways to build a stronger keyword list, including Cerebro, Brand Analytics, Search Query Performance, historical keyword research, opportunity keywords, competitor PPC data, Etsy keywords, frequently bought together products, and Spanish-language keyword indexing. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is the importance of testing Amazon's understanding of your product before launch. Bradley shares how Amazon initially misunderstood two new products he launched, which caused poor impressions and weak Rufus visibility. By sending relevancy signals and checking Amazon Recommended Rank keywords, he helped Amazon better understand the products, leading to a major increase in PPC impressions and faster keyword rankings. Bradley also covers launch execution, including how to choose keywords you have the “right to win,” set up exact match launch campaigns, use discounts strategically, monitor CPR numbers, activate alerts, and drive outside traffic through TikTok Shop creators. But the episode ends with a powerful personal reminder: while business growth matters, entrepreneurs should not lose sight of family and time. The strongest launch strategy may help you win on Amazon, but the strongest life strategy is making sure you do not miss the moments you can never get back.
