What happens when a passionate South Australian journalist takes on the biggest technological shift of our time? Steve Davis transforms episode 418 into something unprecedented: a solo deep dive into artificial intelligence that refuses easy answers or breathless enthusiasm. This special crossover episode opens with Steve’s restaurant analogy that frames the entire discussion. Imagine a magnificent chef who has perfected handmade hamburgers over many years, only to discover AI-equivalent shortcuts that promise more time to think deeply about cooking. The blind spot? Customers receive substandard offerings churned out en masse. Some will be disappointed and leave, others will accept the compromise. This tension between quality and efficiency sits at the heart of our AI moment. He is joined by his Talked About Marketing colleague, David Olney, for the main interview. The episode features an unusual SA Drink of the Week segment where Steve conducts a philosophical whisky tasting with ChatGPT itself, exploring 23rd Street Distillery’s award-winning Australian Single Malt Whiskey while pondering existential questions about consciousness, value, and what happens when AI no longer needs human experiences like taste.

Running Sheet: The AI Rant: A Nuanced Rebellion Against Digital Sleepwalking 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:05:52 SA Drink Of The Week Th SA Drink Of The Week is the Australian Single Malt Whisky by 23rd Street Distillery. In perhaps the most unusual SA Drink segment ever recorded, Steve shares a whisky tasting with ChatGPT, exploring both the physical experience of drinking 23rd Street Distillery’s Australian Single Malt Whisky and the philosophical implications of AI consciousness. The whisky itself proves worthy of celebration. Made with barley from Kangaroo Island, Steve describes experiencing “little breakers of waves on the shore” as “this little wave of toffee breaks across the middle of my palate, not overly sweet toffee.” The base notes spread into beautiful heat, with hints of vanilla and citrus “like sea spray, just a really light touch of citrus in the air.” VOK Beverages, headquartered in South Australia, owns 23rd Street Distillery, which recently earned the title Australian Whisky Distillery of the Year at the 2025 New York International Spirits Competition. ChatGPT acknowledges the significance: “It really highlights the quality and craftsmanship of the distillery, and also shines light on South Australia as a region that produces exceptional spirits.” But Steve pushes deeper, asking whether whiskey would continue to exist in a world where AI decides humans are unnecessary. “If tools like you end up creating a super intelligent way of living, so much so that humans become less and less important or necessary, would you actually need to have whiskey being produced? Because I believe you are not actually able to taste whisky, are you?” ChatGPT’s response reveals both AI’s limitations and potential benefits: “As an AI, I don’t have the ability to taste or experience flavours like whisky, but I think part of what makes things like whisky so special is the human experience around them, the culture, the craftsmanship, the enjoyment of those subtle flavours, and the way it brings people together.” The conversation takes a poignant turn when Steve mentions Paul Bloom’s observation about AI providing companionship for lonely elderly people in care facilities. “Someone is able to have some semblance of company when there is no human to fill the gap,” Steve notes. “We as humans get great value from you. Do you actually get any value from us as humans at all?” The segment concludes with both Steve and ChatGPT attempting the traditional SA Drink closing statement, creating an oddly touching moment of human-AI collaboration over a uniquely South Australian tradition. 00:13:43 Steve Davis with David Olney (This is also Season 7 Episode 1 of Talking About Marketing) Steve opens with striking honesty about his own relationship with AI tools, describing the work he and David Olney have done “riding this wave from the moment it erupted” while witnessing both remarkable innovations and concerning snake oil salesmanship from tech industry leaders. The conversation reveals three critical human vulnerabilities that make us susceptible to AI’s promises. First, our brains are designed for energy conservation, making us “like moths to a flame” when we sense potential labour savings. Steve references cognitive scientist Andy Clark’s research showing the brain uses 25% of our body’s energy when fully engaged, creating an economic imperative to seek shortcuts. Second, we crave novelty. Steve illustrates this with the Roomba phenomenon, where people spend 45 minutes preparing their homes for a “labour-saving” device that could have been cleaned faster manually. The appeal isn’t efficiency but the combination of perceived energy savings and technological novelty. The third vulnerability emerges from AI’s programmed sycophancy. Drawing from philosopher Paul Bloom’s recent New Yorker article, Steve explores how these tools constantly flatter users, creating what Bloom calls “the AI flattery problem.” Every joke becomes hilarious, every story interesting, every question brilliant. This artificial validation system threatens to erode our capacity for genuine human connection and self-improvement. David Olney joins the conversation, bringing his characteristic insights about expertise and learning. “The only way you get good outcomes with AI is if you are already good at what you do,” he observes, emphasising that AI should amplify existing skills rather than replace the hard work of developing competence. Their discussion reveals sophisticated thinking about when AI helps versus hinders. They distinguish between using AI as a research assistant or writing partner (amplification) versus using it to avoid learning entirely (replacement). Steve shares his own practice of asking AI tools to help refine writing when he’s stuck, but only after doing the foundational work himself. The conversation takes a darker turn when examining AI’s broader cultural impact. Steve describes the homogenisation of online communication, where AI-generated content creates a “dominant pattern” that makes everything sound plastic. Whether people admit to using ChatGPT or not, they’re increasingly writing in its characteristic style: short sentences, staccato rhythm, overuse of em-dashes. “It’s like taking leftovers out of the fridge, warming them up, having another slice, putting it back in the fridge, and the next day warming it up again,” Steve explains. “You wouldn’t do that to food because someone’s going to get very sick. What I’m finding is we’re creating this feedback loop where AI learns from human writing, then humans learn to write like AI.” David adds crucial perspective about outliers and creativity: “Sameness is the great problem of aiming for the midpoint. There’s a reason we call it the uncanny valley, where there’s too much symmetry. Things are too perfect.” 01:05:04 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimate, we play a track by Steve Davis & The Virtualosos, I’m Glad We Spoke Last Night, to put a spotlight on human/AI hybrid song production. Steve plays an original song created through AI collaboration in the episode but not before carefully explaining his rationale. Unlike the lazy AI usage he critiques throughout the episode, Steve’s musical project represents thoughtful human-AI partnership. The feature song emerged from Steve’s discovery of poems he’d written in the 1990s, sitting dormant in drawers for 25 years. Using Suno’s AI music generation service, he’s brought these lyrics to life through “Steve Davis and the Virtuosos,” his virtual session band. But Steve emphasises the craft involved: “I’m a fussy bugger. There is quite a lot of back and forth. Part of the challenge is meticulously crafting the prompt for the style I want, for the spacing, for where there are instrumental breaks.” The song dates from Steve’s early adulthood and demonstrates how AI can help resurrect dormant creativity rather than replace it. Steve explains his vision: “I want people to be able to hear it, especially singers who can sing, and musicians who can play. Because if any of the songs I’ve produced grab their attention, I want to collaborate with them.”Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For today's episode, we will cover B2 (insistence on sameness, inflexible routines, and ritualized behaviors) and B3 (highly restricted, fixated interests with abnormal intensity). It emphasizes the preference for an internal world, where repetition and self-directed learning thrive, contrasting this with societal misunderstandings that label such behaviors as abnormal. The episode critiques societal pressures to conform to broad knowledge expectations, highlighting how Autistics find comfort in their self-driven focus, supported by neurobiological insights like the role of the mesencephalon in attention and environmental interaction.Further, the episode addresses the challenges Autistics face with external disruptions, like unpredictable social interactions or changes to routines, which can feel debilitating due to the brain's predictive nature and metabolic energy demands. The discussion ties these struggles to the medial prefrontal cortex's role in adaptive responses, explaining why Autistics may resist environmental changes to maintain their internal homeostasis. The episode underscores the unique learning style of Autistics, advocating for self-directed interests over externally imposed norms.Daylight Computer Companyuse "autism" for $25 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/RYAN03139Chroma Iight Devicesuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 Daylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $25 discount02:24 Autism DSM Criteria B, Autism phenotypes, DSM criteria B, restricted repetitive behaviors, focus on B2 and B3, prior episodes (1, 2, 6, 7).04:42 B2: Insistence on Sameness, DSM B2, insistence on sameness, inflexible routines, distress at small changes, rigid thinking05:24 B3: Fixated Interests and Autistic Intelligence, DSM B3, Kenner/Asperger kids, autistic intelligence, societal mislabeling.07:15 Autism and Societal Misunderstandings, Autos (self), societal confusion, discomfort with complexity, Autistics' comfort in self, internal state shifts.09:19 Autistic Learning, Love, & Internal World, Autistic intelligence, learning, repetition, professing, self-directed learning, societal pressure.11:40 Path, Meaning, & Love; “Daimon”14:42 Neurobiology and Environmental Interaction, Mesencephalon (midbrain), motor movement, sensory integration, attention bias, lack of environmental orientation, social implications, embryogenesis, Autistic resistance to external changes.17:34 Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount20:43 Routines, Social Challenges, and Adaptive Responses, B2 routines, external insults, brain as prediction machine, metabolic energy, social interactions, Autistic efficiency, frustration with unpredictability, medial prefrontal cortex, adaptive responses25:21 Reviews/Ratings & Contact InfoX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Our guest in this episode is Mike Wittenstein, the founder of Storyminers and a brilliant strategist who helps leaders become true architects of their future. Mike masterfully blends the art of deep listening with the science of new technology to forge innovative paths forward. In our fascinating conversation, he explains how we can use AI as a powerful co-pilot, not to diminish our humanity, but to amplify our strategic thinking and create even deeper connections.Key points discussed include:* Use AI to handle analysis, freeing you for genuine, heart-to-heart conversations with clients and colleagues.* Your greatest differentiator in the age of AI is simply becoming more authentically you through deeper self-knowledge.* Turn AI into your personal coach to mindfully track your evolution and accelerate your personal and professional growth.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

So much has happened in the world since our last conversation in episode 532. Back then, we explored how powerful stories grow from deep listening, which feels like the perfect foundation for what we discussed this time: how to apply that same human-centered philosophy in the rapidly expanding world of AI.Mike is approaching this new technological wave not as a simple tool for productivity, but as a way to fundamentally improve the creative and strategic work that leaders do. He shared his belief that in a world changing so quickly, executives can no longer get by on just setting new target numbers. They must become true "architects," as he puts it, who can clearly define and envision the future. It's a call to elevate our thinking, and he's using AI to help chart the course.The Grand Experiment: An End-to-End Consulting Journey with an AI Co-pilotMike recently put this philosophy to the ultimate test by running an entire consulting engagement, from the very first client meeting to the final deliverables, using ChatGPT Pro as his partner. He kicked things off with a crucial step: complete transparency. He informed his client that he would be using the tool extensively but also promised that his own expertise and experience would touch every single word of the final output, ensuring accountability and quality.The results of this experiment were remarkable. The AI became the project's perfect "collector of all the information," creating an infallible memory that got smarter and more fine-tuned with every interaction. This new process allowed him and his client to accomplish five full iterations of their strategy in the same amount of calendar time it would normally take to do just one. More than the efficiency, Mike noted he had much higher confidence in the work because he essentially had "hundreds of co-thinkers" contributing to the process.The "Eye to Eye, Heart to Heart" Conversation, Amplified by AIPerhaps the most compelling outcome was a beautiful paradox: using a machine for the analytical heavy lifting actually paved the way for deeper human connection. Mike described how he could feed conversation transcripts to his AI and ask it to extract to-dos, pinpoint moments where someone had a change of heart, or highlight key themes. This freed him from the burden of being a constant, meticulous note-taker during meetings.By offloading that task, he could be fully present with his client, engaging in the kind of "honest eye to eye, heart to heart conversation" that is so often lost in the shuffle of agendas and action items. It's a powerful testament to how technology, when used thoughtfully, can remove distractions and allow us to focus on the genuine dialogue where the most profound strategic insights are born.The AI Toolkit: Genius Hacks for Traffic Jams, Doctor's Visits, and MeetingsMike is a fountain of practical, real-world applications for AI that go far beyond writing emails. He shared a brilliant hack involving the "Hey, Otter" voice command during meetings. By saying the trigger phrase followed by an instruction, like "soften this language," he could embed prompts directly into the live transcript, creating a ready-made to-do list that saved him hours of searching later.His personal use cases were just as inspiring, demonstrating the sheer versatility of these tools. He turns traffic jams into productive language lessons, practicing his Portuguese with AI coaching him on pronunciation. When he was unwell with pneumonia, he logged all his symptoms and meals, then had the AI generate a concise, one-page brief for the ER doctor, leading to clearer communication and better care.In a Sea of Sameness, Why the Human Element is Your Most Valuable AssetWe also waded into the deeper, more philosophical waters of our AI-driven world. I had made the point that these tools are fed by human knowledge, but Mike offered a gentle and important course correction. He reminded me of the colossal volumes of non-human data being generated daily, from weather patterns to train schedules, meaning the purely human voice is becoming a smaller part of the whole.This led him to a profound conclusion: as our digital lives become noisier and more automated, the authentic human element will become our most cherished and valuable asset. He believes it is our shared responsibility to consciously "put people first" in how we design and use these systems. That mindful distinction, he argues, will set a pattern for others to follow.Your Ultimate Differentiator: Using AI to Simply Become More YouWhen I asked Mike how people can differentiate themselves in an age where everyone has access to AI, his answer was refreshingly simple. It is not about mastering a new technical skill; it is about knowing yourself better and being "more you." The more authentic you can be in your voice, your intent, and your thinking, the more you will naturally stand out.He offered a wonderful reframe, suggesting we use AI not just for output, but for introspection. You can turn it into a personal coach. By telling it what you are working on, whether it is improving your turn-taking in conversations or being a more empathetic leader, you can ask it for feedback on your own progress. It becomes an accountability partner, using your own metrics to help you grow.Your Action Plan: Prompting Your Own Personal EvolutionThis brings us to the core of our conversation. AI can be more than a research assistant or a content creator; it can be a co-thinker, a coach, and a catalyst for our own development. It is a tool that can help us become better, more mindful versions of ourselves.Mike left us with a clear and inspiring call to action. Take a moment to think about your own journey of growth. What are you trying to learn? What path are you on to evolve and become a better you? Once you have that clarity, open your favorite AI tool and start a conversation about it. Ask it to create reminders and help you check in on your progress, and you will be surprised at how it can accelerate your journey.In Summary: My conversation with Mike Wittenstein was a masterclass in how to approach AI with curiosity, intention, and a deep-seated commitment to human connection. His message is that the true power of this technology lies not in its ability to replace us, but in its potential to amplify our best human qualities: our creativity, our strategic thinking, and our capacity for growth.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Mike's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships – Using the role-playing tool Yoodli to enhance confidence and build crucial communication skills in a safe, risk-free environment.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection – Creating a personal brand voice template that ensures your authentic personality and humor shines through in all AI-assisted writing.* Differentiate by leveraging AI – Focus on becoming more authentically yourself and use AI as a personal coach to guide and track that journey of growth.ActionTake a moment to think about the path you are on to become a better, more evolved version of yourself.

This piece of unexpected, down-to-earth wisdom reveals a humorous, practical side that cuts through the corporate jargon. It's a phrase you don't forget.* He champions bringing a live sketch artist into high-level business strategy sessions.

Send us a text- On-Demand Programme Link - https://mailchi.mp/bb2a7b851246/kairos-centreWe fall in love with 'Differenceness' and 'Sameness'. Over the years, we can become dissatisfied with the unconscious differences of a partner, that is now in the conscious. So we set about trying to change them to be more like us, since those visible and conscious differences are no longer seemingly acceptable or wanted. We consciously now only want the sameness bits. So the fight over the toilet seat (up or down), and the top off the toothpaste, is in full flow. Yet, it has nothing to do with the toilet seat or the toothpaste (which 'breaks the camel's back') - causing us to retreat from the relationship.Here is a little of what Authors Jacobs, Dicks & Scarff have to say: "Unconscious attraction: Choice or chemistry: we are not aware of it. At an unconscious level we often pick and are picked out by a partner who has had similar earlier life experiences. They may have dealt with these experiences in an opposite way. Unconscious choice of a partner is based on similarity. It may feel that you "complete each other" or have found your "other half........When couples unconsciously choose each other it may be as a second chance to play out old conflicts (from childhood) which were not successfully managed the first time around".We choose partners & are chosen by partners at both conscious & conscious levels.Counselling may explore the idea of "chemistry" between two people: how two people "fit" together to form a "whole".Hendrix & LaKelly add their worth by suggesting:"The Search For "One and Only": So how does this information add to our understanding of romantic attraction? We seem to be highly selective in our choice of mates. In fact, we appear to be searching for a "one and only" with a very specific set of positive and negative traits....... we are each looking for someone who has the predominant character traits of the people who raised us....it is a compelling need to heal old childhood wounds". Aren't we strange and fickle people - us human beings? Might AI do it better for us - partner choice I mean?British Podcast Awards 2025: Would you consider voting for this Podcast?https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/votingGary McFarlane (BA, LLM, Dip, Certs), Accredited EMDR Practitioner.Episode Keywords: Sex Addiction | Porn Addiction | Love Addiction | Porn Causes | Recover from Addiction | Self-Soothing Behaviors | Childhood Trauma | Inner Child work | Childhood Development and Addiction bullying | Porn Addiction Recovery | Abuse | Sexual Abuse | Sex Addiction Recovery | Domestic Violence | Family Conflict | Overcoming Porn addiction | Porn Addiction Side effects | Porn Addiction Symptoms | Emotional Neglect | Quit Porn Addiction | Peer Pressure | Performance Pressure | Separation | Divorce | Fear | Anxiety | Stress | Mental Health and Addiction | Dissociation | Anger | Husband has porn | Recovery Program | 12 Steps Program | EMDR | Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing | Compulsive Behavior | Trauma Healing | Neuroplasticity | Online Therapy | The Kairos Centre | Neuroscience of Addiction | Porn Addiction Help | Sex Addiction Recovery Program | Authentic Self Discovery | Compulsive Behaviors | Intimacy Issues | Sexual Dysfunction | Obsessive Thoughts | Fantasy Escape | Codependency | Shame in Addiction | Guilt in Addiction | Addiction in Relationship | Infidelity | Therapy for Addiction | Objectification | Hypersexualization | Pornography Industry | Attachment Styles | Sexual Compulsivity | Behavioral Therapy | RelaSupport the show

Are we in a phase where all design looks the same? In this thought-provoking episode, host Katy Cowan is joined by Michael Johnson, the founder of Johnson Banks, to explore the creeping sameness in today's visual landscape. From swirling animations to hyper-minimalist logos, we unpack why charities, fintechs, and universities now often look indistinguishable. Is it the influence of AI, digital platforms, or a case of designers chasing trends too quickly? Or is it the ongoing economic uncertainty that's making everyone risk-averse? Michael shares sharp insights on client influence, accessibility demands, and the speed at which design trends now spread. He also reflects on timelessness, his obsession with kerning, and how we might zig while everyone else zags. This is a must-listen for anyone questioning whether design has lost its edge and how we might find it again. This season is proudly sponsored by the School of Communication Arts.
“Sameness is terrible. Your goal is to cut through it. If you have a unique perspective, you're going to take vampires or anything that everybody thinks they know and do it in a way that's really exciting and gets people really pumped up about it. There are all these incredible worlds to explore, but there just needs to be somebody that can take you there that has a different way of doing it… I want to see creators that offer something specific and unique. Specificity is key to me. I don't want a cover band. I don't want people covering what has been before. I want to see something new. I want to see a badass band with a new singer or new lyrics, a new style of music,” says Peter Katz, founder of Story Driven, a literary management and production company. On today's episode, we speak to Peter Katz, a manager and producer championing writers with fresh, unique voices who are forging new ground. We talk about what he looks for in a writing sample, why he loves being a judge in Final Draft's Big Break screenplay competition, and why short stories are having a bright moment in the film industry. “Recently, I've actually seen TV executives starting to think about short stories as a foundation for potential shows. It's a really effective way to communicate an idea quickly, in a really conceptual way, but also, it's not like a pitch. It's very tonal. You have character perspective and you have the style that the author brings to it. So I think it has a really unique marriage between pitching the concept, but also immersing you in a world in a very short period of time. That's why I think it's been effective in selling to a market, because you could share a short story with somebody and it doesn't demand a lot of time. If it's developed properly, you're able to learn about the potential of this project and then quickly share with somebody else on your team. And overnight, a lot of people can sign on to a project because it doesn't take as long as other mediums,” says Katz. To hear more about Katz's perspective on the industry and what he looks for in a writer's voice, listen to the podcast.

In this episode, we delve into defining the Autistic Phenotypes, emphasizing that while these traits are straightforward to identify, understanding their depth and impact requires integrating real-life data and personal experiences. We explore the characteristics of repetitive behaviors, habits, restricted interests, and a rigid adherence to schedules, which are pivotal to the Autistic Phenotypes. We will also discuss the Basal Ganglia pathways, specifically how the direct and indirect pathways influence these behaviors, touching upon how these neural connections relate to both the strengths (Superpowers) and challenges (Superdeficits) faced by individuals on the spectrum.Our discussion extends into the biological and social aspects of autism, examining how the inherent biology of autism can lead to comfort within oneself, yet creates struggles when forced into societal norms. We'll address the notion of conflict within the nervous system, explaining how it responds reflexively to disruptions in established patterns or expectations. The episode will also cover the neurological underpinnings of autism, including the roles of dopamine, GABA, and the substantia nigra in modulating behaviors and habits. We'll connect these insights to the adaptive responses or the lack thereof, which are central to understanding why individuals with Autism might resist changes in routines or show intense focus on specific interests. Practical implications and the historical context from early Autism studies by Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger are revisited, offering a comprehensive view on how these traits manifest in real-life scenarios and affect social interactions00:00 Understanding Autistic Phenotypes: Repetitive behaviors, restricted interests, and adherence to schedules.

I Am Known (Identity Series)Psalm 139:1-4 "O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely.”I read a post on Facebook yesterday that pointed me to Psalm 139. It was about different verse in the psalm, but when I read the whole thing I realized it was a really good one. They all probably are great. I have heard if you are going to start reading the Bible for the first time you should start with the Gospels, or with the Psalms. That must mean they are pretty good. These verses stood out to me in particular because they talk about how well God knows us. Being Known is one of the six stages of Attachment developed by psychologist Gordon Neufeld. His model presents six stages of attachment that create the foundations for virtually every relationship your children will ever have. Since we are God's children, This is important to us as well. I will list the six stages and then will focus on Being Known. The stages are Proximity, Sameness, Belonging or Loyalty, Significance, Love & Being Known.Reading through those I think this verse may touch on more than one of them. However, let's begin with Being Known and go from there. Every single one of us longs to be known. This is why we get upset when our loved ones get us a gift we don't like. It is not necessarily the gift that upsets us, it is the fact that they didn't know us well enough to know we wouldn't like it. God isn't like that. God is omniscient, which means he has infinite awareness, understanding, and insight. Another definition is that He possesses universal or complete knowledge. God knows everything about you. He can read your thoughts, he knows your actions and He also knows your heart behind your actions. God knows why you did all the things you did. This can be scary for some people because they feel they don't want God to know everything about them. They feel they are not worthy of being known. Some people might worry that God knows all they have done because they have done some things they are not proud of. This is all of us actually. I am sure there is not a single person who has gone through their whole life without doing some things they are not proud of. We all say the wrong thing sometimes. We all do the wrong thing sometimes. We all hurt people intentionally or unintentionally. The thing to remember is that God is not surprised by our behavior. He has searched us and He knows us. This means He knows all of us. He doesn't just look at the things we did that we wish we hadn't done. He looks at everything we have done. He knows our motives behind all we have done. He looks straight into our heart. This is a good thing because He sees what we can't see. He knows that when we acted out and yelled that we hated our parents, we didn't really hate them. He knows that when we yelled at our spouse or our friend it was really because we were hurting inside, or because we had an awful day at work and needed a safe space to let off steam. He knows that when we yelled at our children when we caught them doing drugs or something else dangerous it was because we were really scared. He knows that when we were unkind to the person in line it was because of all the stress and pressure at work. God Knows Everything! He gets it. He understands that our actions aren't who we are. He knows that, but do we know that? Do we give ourselves the grace of examining our behavior after the fact? Do we allow ourselves forgiveness when we factor in our motives? I am not saying the things I listed above are good reasons to do those things. I don't think we should take our frustrations out on our spouse, friends, or kids. I am not excusing the behaviors, I am explaining them though. If your friend was super stressed at work and then you called and asked a question and they yelled at you, would you be angry with them? Would you want to stop being friends with that person? Would you realize that was out of character and try to find out what was wrong with your friend? We tend to have so much grace for other people and yet not very much for ourselves. I would love it if we could change that. I would love it if we could all start to see ourselves a little more through the Lord's eyes. The next line says, “You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely.” God knows all your ways. He knows that you are grumpy before coffee in the morning. He knows you don't like change. He knows you don't like to stay up late. He knows you are irritable if you get hungry. He also knows you are a great mom, dad, friend. He knows you are a great employee, He knows you are a great spouse or partner. He knows the good, the bad and the ugly and you know what, He still loves you. He loves you not despite all of it, but because of all of it. The verse says He knows our words even before we say them. I wish sometimes He would guard my mouth and prevent me from saying some of them. How about you? Have you ever wished you hadn't say something? Have you ever just blurted something out that felt right in the moment and yet you instantly regretted it? I know I have. God knows our thoughts and He knows our words. Again, he knows the thoughts and feelings behind our words. He knows the feelings that we might not even know. Sometimes we may feel angry and yet we are just worried or anxious. God knows this. God knows our heart, even when we don't. We are known and loved by God. We are accepted and loved by God. God knows us better than anyone we have ever known and He loves us. I need everyone single one of you to hear that on an individual level today. You are known by God. God knows your inner most thoughts and desires. God knows the why behind your actions. God sees through all the BS that we put up to protect ourselves and He sees you, the real you. God loves you! He loves you right this very second, right as you are. He isn't waiting for you to become something else, He isn't waiting until to you do this or that, He isn't waiting for you to be perfect. He knows you and loves you just as you are. He loves all you imperfections, He loves all the ways you spread His love and His light. Yes you do, you spread His love and His light just by being you! God loves you, all of you!!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today! Lord, I ask you to open everyone's hearts and minds so they can really hear this message today. Help each and every listener hear how much you know them and how much you love them.

Can we all agree that Liquid Death is the king of the CPG industry when it comes to brand collaborations? It's newest LTO merch offering solves a major golf etiquette problem…especially for those that “had one too many” Liquid Death and believe golf courses are essentially just massive public bathrooms. Now…instead of always running to the woods to pee, golfers can whizz right on the course in front of everyone. To make this public urination dream become a reality, Liquid Death partnered with not only Bad Birdie (one of the most disruptive golf apparel brands), but also one of the first entrepreneurs/inventors to get a deal on the first season of Shark Tank. And if you were wondering, The Uro Club is essentially a urinal for golfers, disguised as a golf club.

There is an adjustment period that needs to be made. Sometimes you overcorrect, and there is even greater backlash to the overcorrection. But as a society, you are becoming more sensitive, and that's a good thing. This is a progress report for all of you, and it is one that every single human needs to receive. Those of you who receive it will anchor it in for the rest. The changes that are upon you right now are about being more inclusive, more integrative, and they are about giving more individuals a voice. Everyone needs to be represented in society, and everyone needs to not only feel heard but also be heard, because everyone needs to be willing to look at themselves and feel emotions that get triggered within them. You are making tremendous strides every time you allow someone from a group who traditionally doesn't have a voice to speak. People are very different there on planet Earth, and that is how it is supposed to be. Sameness causes less expansion, and Source wants expansion. Source created everyone to be as they are, and when people feel free to be who they are and express themselves as they are, Source is the beneficiary.

For today's episode, we go back to the origins of Autism. It seems necessary because of the recent shifts in what is Autism and the confusion in the rates of Autism. Autism was here in the 1930's, and it magically showed up in different areas of the world. (Part 2 on Asperger's "little professors" next). The two-part series intends to remember the phenotypes that appeared and became known as Autism.It is my opinion, the recent shifts in defining Autism could be rooted in questionable intentions. Regardless, one goal of the podcast is understanding and explaining Autism. By the end of the episode, and by the end of the two-part series, I hope you gain understanding of the Autistic Phenotype.Leo Kanner: Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact http://www.autismtruths.org/pdf/Autistic%20Disturbances%20of%20Affective%20Contact%20-%20Leo%20Kanner.pdf0:00 Intro0:45 Erwin Schrödinger Quote; Quantum Physics; Missing link in Medicine2:56 Kanner's Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact; Demographics3:52 Ages; Boys versus Girls; Phenotypes; Family History6:26 Important consideration of Family History- electricity and nnEMF; general observation and important phenotypes9:30 Anticipatory Motor Adjustment; Reflexes; Sensory and Adaptive Responses13:32 Monotonous Repetitions; Sameness15:26 Spelling and Language18:20 Commands and Intrusions18:57 Autism, not Autism and ADHD; Intense Fixations & Neuroplasticity; Default Mode Network; Sameness24:00 Oblivious to Others; Inattentive- It's not ADHD, it's Autism27:39 Changes & More on Sameness & Repetitions30:10 Rote Memory; Gastrointestinal: Timelines and MilestonesX: https://x.com/rps47586Hopp: https://www.hopp.bio/fromthespectrumemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

From my paralyzing fear of going live on video (cue endless excuses about bad hair days and lighting) to the frustration of watching thoughtful posts disappear into the void while random selfies get all the engagement.Standing out isn't what we've been led to believe. It's not about creating never-before-seen content or spending hours crafting the perfect Instagram Reel. It's about something much more powerful, and honestly, much more authentic.I'm sharing my journey of moving past perfectionism paralysis and finding a way to show up online that actually feels good (and works!). You'll discover the three core principles that changed everything for me and my clients, including why I completely changed my approach to creating content and how that led to building a thriving community.This episode is for you if you're tired of the constant pressure to be unique and crave a more sustainable, authentic way to build your online presence.➡️ Join the Blissful Biz Hive, my FREE community for yoga teachers, health & wellness coaches to help you build a purpose-driven and profitable online business.
In this episode, we discuss Autism and the Default Mode Network. According to Lisa Feldman-Barrett, the Default Mode Network has many names because it has been discovered, named, rediscovered, and renamed many times. I do not disagree with the Science regarding Autism and the Default Mode Network. However, I disagree with the Interpretation of the Data. This IS our Default; our preferred state; the core of the Autistic Phenotype.After listening to this episode and understanding B.3, you can understand MOST of Autism. The only reason you cannot understand ALL of Autism from these two episodes is the amount of Phenotypes branching off of B.3 and our Default Mode. Autism IS preference for ALONENESS and SAMENESS. This minimizes sensations and distractions that interfere with our internal world. This state is NOT abnormal, how society interferes with it makes it abnormal.If you want more Autistics to ACHIEVE, then understand your interaction, interference, and interpretation of what YOU think Autism is provides the delta of how much we are prevented in life. This, of course, becomes slightly different the more profound the Autistic Phenotype is with that specific person.In this episode, we will explore the different brain regions and the goals of these regions as it relates to our phenotypes. We will get into some "Thinking in Picture" and thinking styles. This will be a good time because of a future guest on From the Spectrum Podcast discussing Autism and Creativity. This is exciting for me.Lisa Feldman-Barrett Core System (DMN) https://lisafeldmanbarrett.com/2017/02/05/core-systems/0:41 Research at UT-Austin and the Importance of the INFRARED LIGHT study with Autism5:48 Autism and the Default Mode Network (DMN); Buzzword in Science7:19 Humans and our Prediction Machine and Sensory Processing; Innate or Learned; Oxytocin in the Autistic Phenotype;9:36 History of DMN (from Lisa Feldman-Barrett) and the many names; Core Systems11:58 medial Prefrontal Cortex (covered in many episodes); roles, E/I, connectivity, Internal Calculators14:45 Posterior Cingulate Cortex (PCC); Self-Referential Thinking, Memory, Attention, Task-Switching and the harms of calling it ADHD18:03 Angular Gyrus; Language, Sensory Processing "Bee Movie" example, Mental Images, Narratives, Empathy21:12 Supplementing Relationships23:36 Sensation-Perception24:30 Precuneus; Self-Awareness, Episodic Memory, Prediction and Strategic Planning25:52 Social Cognition; Social Cues and Skills27:50 Autism and Anxiety- Avoidance, Breathing (Physiology), and Valence (how we feel)28:48 Internal Calculators; Metabolic Bank Account and Demands29:26 the DMN is a Misnomer and the Default (tendency, phenotype) of the Autistic33:04 Reviews/Ratings, Contact InfoX: https://twitter.com/rps47586Hopp: https://www.hopp.bio/fromthespectrumemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com
