The true story behind The Conjuring: Last Rites, detailing the haunting of the Smurl family by several spirits and a demon that prompted the aid of Ed and Lorraine Warren. Get the podcast ad-free: https://www.redwebpod.comIn the 1970s, the Smurl family was looking for a fresh start after their house was destroyed in a natural disaster. At first, all seemed well as they settled into their new home and community. Little by little, things seemed more amiss. It started with inexplicable stains, or maybe a passing foul odor, small mishaps that could be reasoned away. In due time, it would turn into something much more sinister, leading to over a decade of paranormal torment. Today, we're investigating the Smurl Family Haunting.Sensitive topics: Sexual assault, physical abuse, animal abuse Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, I break down the connection between stress, CRH, cortisol, mast cell activation, histamine, the nervous system, and chronic illness, including why mast cells can react before cortisol rises and why standard testing may not always capture what is happening in the moment. We also look at how mold exposure, infections, diet, psychological stress, and nervous system dysregulation can all feed into the same neuroimmune response.If you have MCAS, histamine intolerance, mold illness, CIRS, chronic Lyme, food reactions, gut issues, or persistent inflammatory symptoms, this conversation may help explain why focusing on only one trigger is sometimes not enough. I also cover the feedback loop among the brain, hypothalamus, mast cells, immune mediators, and symptoms; why reactions can continue after an exposure has been removed; and what it means to address both the physical and nervous-system sides of chronic illness without dismissing either.Why Some People Don't Heal Even After Doing Everything Right Your Stress Response Can Start Before Cortisol Your Cortisol Test Can Look Normal While Your Body Is Still Stressed Why Your Body Prioritizes Survival Over Thyroid Mast Cells Are Like a Smoke Alarm That Won't Shut Off Mold Exposure and Fear of Mold Can Trigger the Same Stress Pathway Why Normal Mast Cell Labs Can Miss a Flare Stress Can Literally Make Your Gut More Permeable Why You're Still Sick After Removing the Trigger Mast Cells Aren't the Root Cause_____EPISODE REFERENCESWork with us one-on-oneInflammation FixMCAS: Why your body reacts to everything_____WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

Broadcaster Neil Mitchell joined Ross Stevenson and Russel Howcroft to discuss his recent conversation with ASIO boss Mike Burgess on his podcast 'Mitchell Unlimited'.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Covid changed the relationship between employees, offices and commuting, particularly in cities such as Tokyo. For many people, working from home eliminated hours spent standing in packed trains every day. That time could suddenly be spent sleeping, exercising, enjoying hobbies, being with the family or simply getting more work done. The bigger leadership question is what happens when working from home stops being an emergency response and becomes a permanent part of working life. Hybrid work brings obvious benefits, but it also removes many of the informal interactions leaders once took for granted. That means leaders need to deliberately create opportunities to spend real, face-to-face time with their people. One surprisingly powerful answer may be very simple: have more meals with the team. Why do leaders need more face-to-face time in a hybrid workplace? Hybrid and remote work reduce the spontaneous personal interactions through which leaders often discover what is really happening with their people. Zoom, Teams and other online meetings are excellent for conducting business, but not every workplace issue fits comfortably into a scheduled video call. When everyone worked in the office, leaders had numerous opportunities to notice things. A brief corridor conversation, a chat after a meeting or a spontaneous discussion could reveal concerns that would never warrant someone scheduling a formal meeting with the boss. Hybrid work removes many of those moments. That matters because employees may be dealing with difficult clients, strained relationships with colleagues, concerns about their boss or other sensitive workplace issues. If there isn't an easy opportunity to raise them, people may simply keep quiet and let the problem fester. Do now: Don't assume that because nobody is raising problems on Zoom, there aren't any problems. Deliberately create opportunities for private face-to-face conversations. Why can sharing a meal improve communication between leaders and employees? A meal creates a more relaxed environment than a formal meeting and can make difficult conversations easier to begin. Lunch or dinner changes the atmosphere and gives the leader and employee time together without a computer screen dominating the interaction. The objective isn't fine dining. The important ingredient is communication. This is especially valuable when discussing tender subjects such as difficult customers, problems with colleagues or frustrations inside the organisation. Sitting opposite the boss in a meeting room and being expected to explain a sensitive issue can feel intimidating. A restaurant creates a different dynamic. The conversation can move naturally between work and other topics. Silence doesn't have to be immediately filled. The employee has time to decide whether there is something they want to discuss. The leader also gets something increasingly scarce in the hybrid workplace: uninterrupted one-to-one time. Do now: Use occasional lunches and dinners as leadership opportunities rather than treating every employee conversation as another formal meeting. Why don't important employee issues always surface on Zoom? Employees naturally filter what they discuss in formal online meetings, so leaders can mistakenly believe they know more about what is happening inside their organisation than they actually do. This is one of the troubling things about those chance encounters when someone suddenly tells you what has really been going on. You find yourself thinking, "I wonder what else I am not across, which I need to know about?" Online meetings generally have an agenda and a purpose. Everyone knows why they are there. Sensitive issues don't necessarily fit neatly between agenda items. There is also a psychological difference between clicking "Join Meeting" for a scheduled discussion with the boss and gradually raising an issue during a relaxed conversation over lunch. Leaders therefore need to think preventatively rather than reactively. Don't wait until the employee requests the meeting because the situation has become unbearable. Do now: Ask yourself what information your current communication system is unlikely to uncover, rather than assuming scheduled meetings are telling you everything. How often should leaders have meals with their team members? Meals with employees work best when they become a regular leadership cadence rather than occasional events triggered by problems. The objective is to systemise informal communication before issues become serious. Birthdays can provide one opportunity. Taking someone to lunch on their birthday is a nice recognition element within the team culture and creates natural one-to-one time. But once a year isn't enough. Leaders should consider regularly rotating through their direct reports. There may also be important people outside the direct reporting line who would benefit from occasional one-to-one time. This doesn't need to become an expensive corporate entertainment programme. You have to eat lunch anyway. The restaurant doesn't need Michelin stars, and the meeting doesn't necessarily need to take place near the office. In a hybrid environment, a mutually convenient location may actually be easier for both people. Do now: Create a simple rotation so every direct report receives regular informal face-to-face time rather than waiting for chance encounters. How can leaders make employee lunches psychologically safe? The lunch must feel like a genuine conversation, not an interrogation disguised by food. Leaders need to create an atmosphere where employees feel they can speak openly if they want to, without feeling pressured to reveal something. Sometimes nothing magical will emerge. That doesn't mean the lunch was wasted. Simply spending relaxed time together can strengthen trust, and trust may make a future conversation possible. I once spent an hour sitting in silence in a small meeting room with a female employee in her early twenties. She was experiencing a problem involving her boss, who was more than 50 years old. Eventually she told me, "I can't tell you the problem." That was that. I still don't know what the issue was. But I have often wondered whether getting out of the office and talking over a meal might have made it easier for her to open up. Do now: Don't measure the success of the meal by how much information you extract. Measure it by whether you are strengthening the relationship and building trust. Can regular face-to-face contact help leaders retain employees? Strong personal relationships with leaders can become increasingly important for retention when talented employees have plenty of alternative employment opportunities. Recruiters are actively looking for people who might be persuaded to leave their current employer. If the leader has little personal contact with team members, problems can grow unnoticed. By the time the leader discovers the employee is unhappy, a recruiter may already be having the conversations the leader should have been having. That doesn't mean lunch is some magical retention technique. Employees leave organisations for many reasons, including compensation, career development, management quality and better opportunities. But regular personal contact gives leaders a better chance of understanding what is happening before the resignation letter arrives. There is a simple competitive reality here. Someone may be prepared to spend time building a relationship with your best people. It would be smart if that someone were you. Do now: Treat regular personal contact as part of leadership and retention, rather than waiting for the annual engagement survey to discover how people feel. Leadership in the Hybrid Workplace Requires Deliberate Human Contact Hybrid work has changed many of the assumptions leaders previously made about communication. When everyone was in the office, relationships could develop through dozens of small interactions. Leaders could observe behaviour, have spontaneous conversations and notice when something didn't seem right. Those opportunities are much less reliable when people are working remotely. Leaders therefore need to deliberately recreate some of the human contact that disappeared when the workforce left the office. That doesn't mean dragging everyone back into the building five days a week just so the boss can see them. It means finding intelligent ways to create meaningful face-to-face contact. A regular lunch with direct reports is hardly a revolutionary management technology. It is simple, inexpensive and easy to organise. The critical point is the purpose behind it. Don't interrogate people. Don't turn lunch into another performance review. Don't arrive with a checklist of questions and start taking notes between courses. Have a conversation. Listen. Build trust. Give people the space to tell you what is happening — including the things they would never raise on Zoom. In a hybrid workplace, your employees are going to have lunch with someone. Better that it is occasionally you rather than the recruiter trying to lift them out of your shop.

I think there is this idea that when you forgive someone, part of that is letting them back in. Like forgiveness automatically means reconciliation. Like because you let go of the anger, they get their old access back. And I think that is one of the biggest misunderstandings about forgiveness. Because I can forgive you and still not trust you. I can wish you well and still not want you in my space. Those things are not contradictions. That is clarity. Forgiveness, for me, is about releasing what I no longer want to carry. The anger. The resentment. The replaying. But forgiveness does not delete the data. I still remember what you showed me. I still remember what happened. I still get to make decisions based on that information. And if nothing has changed, giving someone access again is sometimes just giving them another opportunity to do the exact same thing. So today we are talking about how to forgive without reopening doors that need to stay closed. How to release resentment without abandoning your boundaries. And I think learning the difference between forgiveness and access is one of the most important lessons there is when it comes to protecting your peace. FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS I think this is where so many people get confused. Forgiveness is internal. Reconciliation is relational. Forgiveness is something you can choose by yourself. Reconciliation requires two people. You can decide: "I am done being angry about this." "I am done letting this take up space in my mind." "I am done wishing things were different." "I am going to move forward." None of that requires you to restore the relationship. Reconciliation requires rebuilding. It requires accountability. Change. Consistency. Trust. Effort. Time. And sometimes, even after all of those things, you may still decide that the relationship is better left in the past. Forgiveness does not automatically create an obligation to reconnect. FORGIVING SOMEONE DOESN'T DELETE THE DATA I love this idea: Forgiving you doesn't delete the data. Because sometimes we treat forgiveness like we are supposed to suddenly become forgetful. But experiences give us information. If someone lied repeatedly, that is information. If someone betrayed your confidence, that is information. If someone consistently disrespected your boundaries, that is information. If being around somebody repeatedly left you anxious, depleted, insecure or confused, that is information. You don't have to be angry about the information in order to use it. That is such an important distinction. You can say: "I'm not mad anymore. But now I know." That is wisdom. You don't need to keep touching the stove just because you forgave it for burning you. You learned. And learning is supposed to change your behavior. FORGIVENESS IS NOT THE SAME THING AS TRUST This is another huge one. You can forgive somebody and still not trust them. Because forgiveness can happen in a moment. Trust is built through behavior. Trust is evidence. Trust is repetition. Trust is somebody consistently showing you: "My words and actions match." "I respect your boundaries." "I take responsibility when I hurt you." "I have actually changed." You do not owe somebody instant trust because they apologized. And you definitely don't owe them trust simply because you decided to forgive them. You can forgive freely. Trust should be earned. ACCESS SHOULD BE EARNED Not everyone deserves the same level of access to you. I think we need to normalize this. There are levels. Someone can be somebody you care about but don't confide in. Someone can be somebody you are cordial with but don't spend time alone with. Someone can be somebody you love but know you cannot have an emotionally close relationship with. Someone can be somebody you forgive from a very large distance. Access is not a punishment. Access is a boundary. Your time is access. Your home is access. Your children are access. Your private thoughts are access. Your energy is access. Your vulnerable moments are access. Those things should not be automatically available to everyone. Especially someone who has already shown you they cannot handle that access responsibly. YOU CAN WISH SOMEONE WELL FROM FAR AWAY This is where people think boundaries somehow mean hate. They don't. You can genuinely hope somebody has a beautiful life. You can hope they heal. You can hope they grow. You can pray for them. You can celebrate something good happening to them. And still say: "I do not want to participate in your life anymore." Those things are not contradictions. You do not have to hate somebody in order to leave. Sometimes you leave because you finally stopped hating them. You stopped fighting. Stopped trying to prove your point. Stopped trying to make them understand. Stopped trying to get the apology. And you simply accepted reality. THE GOAL OF FORGIVENESS ISN'T TO GET THE RELATIONSHIP BACK Sometimes the goal is just peace. That's it. Not closure from them. Not an apology. Not a reunion. Not some perfectly wrapped ending. Just peace. Peace that says: "That happened." "I didn't like it." "I learned from it." "And I am not going to keep paying for it emotionally every day." Forgiveness can simply mean that the event no longer gets to control your nervous system. You stop waking up thinking about it. You stop rehearsing imaginary conversations. You stop checking whether they finally understand what they did. You reclaim your attention. That is freedom. SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT FORGIVENESS. THEY WANT THEIR POSITION BACK. This one is important. Sometimes somebody says: "Well, I thought you forgave me." But what they really mean is: "I thought I would get the same access again." Those are not the same thing. Some people aren't upset that you're still angry. You're not angry. They are upset that there are consequences. They want to skip accountability and go directly back to proximity. They want your forgiveness to erase the natural consequences of their choices. But forgiveness does not require you to protect somebody from consequences. If I learn that I cannot trust you with certain parts of my life, the consequence may simply be less access. Not revenge. Not punishment. Just a new boundary based on new information. PROXIMITY WITHOUT CHANGE IS JUST ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SAME PATTERN This line really matters: Proximity without change is just a second opportunity to do the same thing. Because people will sometimes rush reconciliation because the discomfort of distance feels awkward. But if nothing actually changed, what are we reconciling? Did the person become more accountable? Did the behavior stop? Did communication improve? Were boundaries respected? Was there actual repair? Or did enough time just pass that everyone feels uncomfortable talking about it anymore? Time passing is not the same thing as growth. An apology is not the same thing as transformation. Words matter. Behavior matters more. STOP PERFORMING REUNIONS YOU DON'T ACTUALLY FEEL I think sometimes people reconcile because they don't want to look mean. They don't want family members to think they're difficult. They don't want mutual friends to feel awkward. They don't want to be accused of holding a grudge. So they perform closeness. And inside they are thinking: "I don't trust this person." "I don't feel safe around this person." "I don't actually want this relationship." That kind of relationship becomes exhausting because now you're spending energy pretending. You do not have to manufacture intimacy to prove that you're healed. Sometimes healing actually looks like being able to peacefully say: "No thank you." YOU DON'T NEED ANGER TO JUSTIFY A BOUNDARY You don't have to still be mad in order to say no. You don't need a dramatic reason. You don't need another explosion. You don't need them to do something terrible one more time. You can simply decide: "This relationship no longer works for me." We have been conditioned to think boundaries need a courtroom argument. They don't. You are allowed to notice patterns. You are allowed to recognize how somebody affects you. And you are allowed to make decisions accordingly. BEING AT PEACE DOESN'T MEAN BECOMING AVAILABLE AGAIN Peace sometimes looks like silence. Peace sometimes looks like not responding. Peace sometimes looks like seeing their name and feeling nothing. Peace sometimes looks like being able to be in the same room without needing to confront them. And peace sometimes looks like never seeing them again. There is no universal picture of forgiveness. Sometimes people assume healing means everybody gets back together. Maybe healing means you no longer need everybody to get back together. YOU CAN LOVE SOMEONE AND STILL LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TO LEAVE This applies to friendships, family relationships, romantic relationships, work relationships and everything in between. Love by itself does not make every relationship healthy. Sometimes you can genuinely love somebody and still recognize: "We are not good together." Or: "I cannot keep exposing myself to this." Or: "I care about you, but I cannot keep participating in this dynamic." That doesn't make the love fake. It means love isn't the only factor in the decision. You also have to consider trust. Respect. Safety. Compatibility. Peace. Values. Patterns. STOP WAITING FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND YOUR BOUNDARY One of the hardest parts about boundaries is realizing the other person may never agree with yours. They may call you dramatic. Cold. Unforgiving. Sensitive. Difficult. Selfish. And if your entire goal is getting them to approve of your boundary, you're going to stay stuck. Sometimes the person who benefited most from you having no boundaries is going to hate your boundaries the most. That doesn't automatically mean the boundary is wrong. You have to be able to tolerate being misunderstood.   THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF FORGIVENESS MAY BE INDIFFERENCE Sometimes we think forgiveness means having this big emotional moment where you suddenly feel warmth toward the person. Maybe. But sometimes forgiveness is much quieter. You just stop caring. Not in a cruel way. You simply stop being emotionally hooked. Their choices don't ruin your day anymore. Their name doesn't trigger a twenty-minute rant. You don't need everyone else to agree with your version of what happened. You don't need revenge. You don't need validation. You moved on. That is powerful. ASK YOURSELF: WHAT DID THIS EXPERIENCE TEACH ME? Instead of only asking: "How could they do this to me?" Ask: "What did this teach me?" Maybe it taught you to stop ignoring red flags. Maybe it taught you to speak up sooner. Maybe it taught you that chemistry does not equal compatibility. Maybe it taught you that history does not equal loyalty. Maybe it taught you that an apology without changed behavior means very little. Maybe it taught you to trust your instincts. Maybe it taught you that you can survive losing a relationship you once thought you couldn't live without. Take the lesson. Leave the bitterness. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CREATE A NEW VERSION OF THE RELATIONSHIP Sometimes the answer isn't all-in or completely gone. Maybe the relationship needs a different shape. You can move someone from your inner circle to your outer circle. You can reduce frequency. You can change what topics you discuss. You can stop sharing private information. You can stop asking them for emotional support. You can see them at family events without maintaining a close personal relationship. Boundaries don't always mean cutting someone off. Sometimes they mean creating the appropriate distance. IF RECONCILIATION DOES HAPPEN, LET BEHAVIOR LEAD If you do decide that you want to rebuild a relationship, don't rush it. Let the person show you. You don't have to immediately hand them the keys again. Start small. Pay attention. Do they respect your boundaries? Do they take ownership? Do they become defensive when the past comes up? Do their actions match their apology? Can they tolerate earning trust slowly? Real change can handle patience. Manipulation usually demands immediate access. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HATE THE OLD VERSION OF YOU WHO ALLOWED IT Sometimes after a difficult relationship, we get angry with ourselves. "How did I not see this?" "Why did I stay?" "Why did I give them another chance?" But you made choices with the information, confidence and perspective you had at the time. Now you know more. The goal isn't to shame your previous self. The goal is to become somebody who responds differently now. Growth means the lesson changes your future behavior. PROTECTING YOUR PEACE IS NOT REVENGE There is a major difference between creating distance to hurt somebody and creating distance to protect yourself. If your goal is: "I want them to suffer." That's revenge. But if your goal is: "I don't want to live in this dynamic anymore." That's a boundary. You know the difference internally. Protecting your peace does not require you to punish anybody. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is simply remove yourself.     I think one of the strongest forms of emotional maturity is being able to say: I forgave you. I'm not angry. I'm not bitter. I don't spend my days thinking about what happened. I genuinely hope you have a great life. And I still don't want you close to me. There is nothing contradictory about that. You are allowed to forgive somebody without restoring their previous position in your life. You are allowed to release anger and keep the lesson. You are allowed to stop carrying resentment while still maintaining boundaries. Forgiveness doesn't delete the data. Forgiveness doesn't automatically rebuild trust. Forgiveness does not require reconciliation. And forgiveness does not come with a key. Sometimes the healthiest ending isn't everyone hugging and going back to the way things were. Sometimes the healthiest ending is simply: I learned. I released it. I wish you well. And the door stays closed. That isn't bitterness. That's clarity and some of the BEST kind of it.

S6:E76 Security is ultimately a promise of trust. So what happens when that trust gets broken? Karim Toubba has had to answer that question in circumstances few CEOs would choose. He joined LastPass as their CEO only months before the company experienced a significant and highly publicized 2022 security breach. In this candid conversation, Karim acknowledges that LastPass initially communicated too slowly and explains the systemic changes, transparency, investment and cultural work required afterward. Queue up this episode of Small Business Stories for a conversation that goes well beyond passwords. Because the threat itself is changing. Karim says AI is producing a meaningful productivity advantage for small businesses, but it is simultaneously allowing malicious websites and other threats to be generated at much greater velocity. Employees are also adopting AI applications faster than many organizations can establish policies around what data those applications should be allowed to access. If people don't trust you, reassuring them that you're trustworthy isn't enough. If customers cannot see credible evidence supporting what you say, they'll increasingly turn to third-party communities and other sources to interpret your credibility for themselves. And if inaccurate or incomplete information about your organization remains unchallenged, the external interpretation of your company can begin separating from the reality inside it. That's where Karim's cybersecurity experience intersects powerfully with Dr. LL's work on misinterpretation risk.

Sebastian's relaxing post-golf glow is immediately shattered by a dog-related nightmare at home, leading to a massive question: when exactly did dog stomachs become so incredibly sensitive? The disaster prompts Sebastian to issue a strict ultimatum to his kids regarding pet responsibility—a classic parenting move that Pete absolutely loves, even if it is an empty threat. Why the plot of The Karate Kid completely baffled a young Sebastian, yet his son understood it immediately. Seriously, what was in the water back in the 80s? Sebastian and Pete try to figure out why everyone in the 80s looked absolutely ancient. The guys explore the backstories of some of our favorite heroes. Sebastian decides to show his daughter his final, brutal scene in The Irishman—and she might just be scarred for life. Pete argues that sending kids away to camp is a crucial rite of passage, but Sebastian has some major concerns. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We look at the life and legacy of the Count of St. Germain, the most interesting man in history. Did he actually exist? Was he as fascinating as he claimed to be? Or was he nothing more than a charlatan? Support us directly: https://www.redwebpod.com In the 18th century, a strange man swept Europe's most elite crowds off their feet with an endless toolkit of impressive skills and attributes.

Sensitive people often experience emotions, moods, and energetic shifts that seem to appear suddenly or intensify around certain people and environments. Developing emotional awareness and energetic discernment can help create greater clarity about what you're feeling and why.In this episode, I explore how to tell whether an emotion is your own, how emotional resonance works, and why learning this distinction can be an important part of healing and intuitive development.We'll explore:• how to tell if an emotion belongs to you• emotional sensitivity and empathic awareness• why empaths absorb emotional information• the difference between resonance and absorption• how emotional patterns become activated• energetic awareness and self-connection• why grounding changes the experience• developing discernment as a sensitive personMany people assume they are carrying other people's emotions when they may actually be experiencing an emotional response, resonance, memory, or activation within themselves.Understanding these distinctions can bring greater clarity, self-awareness, and compassion to your healing journey.We'll also discuss how staying connected to your own body, emotions, and inner experience supports stronger intuitive awareness and emotional discernment.If you've ever wondered:• Is this emotion mine?• Why do I feel different around certain people?• Am I absorbing other people's feelings?• How do I stay connected to myself as an empath?This episode will help you better understand emotional sensitivity, intuitive awareness, and the deeper relationship between your emotions and the energy around you.If you're looking for ongoing support in your healing and intuitive development, I invite you to join The Sanctuary.Each month you'll receive access to a live Divine Guidance Healing—a channeled healing experience designed to support emotional clearing, energetic alignment, grounding, and connection to your intuition.

“Hybrid used to be a transition strategy. It shouldn't be anymore. It should be the strategy.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Tim Mandell of Leaseweb continues an ongoing discussion about infrastructure strategy and why MSPs should think workload-first rather than defaulting every application to the cloud. Leaseweb is a private and sovereign infrastructure-as-a-service provider offering colocation, public cloud, private cloud, bare metal and other infrastructure options. Mandell says the company's technology-agnostic model makes it a natural fit for MSPs because Leaseweb can provide the underlying infrastructure without competing for the MSP's customer relationship. The key shift, Mandell says, is moving from a cloud-first mindset to a workload-first strategy. Different workloads have different requirements. A predictable, repetitive workload may be more cost-effective on dedicated infrastructure. Applications that need to scale rapidly may belong in public cloud. Sensitive workloads may be better suited to private cloud, while latency-sensitive applications may require edge infrastructure. “Not everything is optimized from a performance or cost standpoint in a cloud environment,” Mandell says. That makes hybrid infrastructure more than a temporary stop on the way to public cloud. MSPs should instead treat public cloud, private cloud, bare metal, dedicated servers and edge infrastructure as tools that can be combined according to the customer's actual business needs. Choice can also become a competitive advantage. Mandell warns against placing every customer into the same stack simply because it is familiar. “If you start looking under the hood, you may find opportunities to improve performance and significantly reduce cost,” he says. “That creates better margins and better value for the customer.” Start with the workload Mandell recommends that MSPs begin with a workload assessment rather than a technology discussion. Ask what the workload does, what success looks like, what performance is required, and what business outcome the customer is trying to achieve. MSPs should then document why each workload is placed where it is, establish measurable financial and performance benchmarks, and revisit those decisions regularly. Quarterly business reviews can provide a natural opportunity to determine whether the original placement still makes sense. Regulatory changes, data sovereignty requirements, AI workloads and new customer demands may all require workloads to move over time. The larger goal is to become a long-term trusted adviser rather than simply selling a particular infrastructure stack. “Ask better questions, listen more and understand what the customer is actually trying to accomplish,” Mandell says.

What if the easiest thing in the world to do is grieve the Holy Spirit — and the hardest thing in the world is to keep from it? Most of us treat the Spirit's presence like a given. Dr. R.T. Kendall has spent 70 years learning the opposite: that the third person of the Godhead is a very, very sensitive person — and He won't bend the rules for anyone. Not even a man who's been walking with Him for eight decades. At 91 years old, Dr. Kendall is one of the most respected theologians alive — 25 years at Westminster Chapel in London, author of multiple books, including Total Forgiveness. He's also been canceled, publicly rebuked, and thrown under the bus by both sides of the church for one message he refuses to let go of — the power of word & Spirit. In this conversation, Preston sits down with him to talk about the vision that started it all, the burden he's carried for over 30 years, and the teaching that changed Preston's marriage in real time. In this episode: * The Silent Divorce — why the church split into "word churches" and "spirit churches," and what happens when the two remarry * Ishmael and Isaac — the message that cost Dr. Kendall his reputation with Baptists, Reformed, and charismatics all at once * October 31, 1955 — the vision on old US-41 that was "more real than you are right now" * Adjusting to the Dove — a couple's discovery that reframes everything about the Spirit's presence * Closing the Gap — Dr. Kendall's one-sentence definition of spirituality (and why mid-sentence repentance is the goal) Do you know what grieves Him? Dr. Kendall says finding that out will change everything.

Perinatal mental health is often a misunderstood landscape shaped by stigma, cultural expectations, and invisible struggles that touch entire families. In this replay episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker sits down with Dr. Kat Kaeni, perinatal mental health certified psychologist, author of The Pregnancy Workbook, and host of the Mom & Mind podcast, to break the silence around postpartum anxiety, depression, OCD, and psychosis. Drawing on her professional expertise and personal experience, Dr. Kat reveals why shame and isolation are so common, how symptoms really show up for new parents, and what makes perinatal mental health distinct from other forms of mental illness. They discuss the myths that keep parents suffering in silence, the real impact of mental health on babies and families, and how therapy and support groups, including free resources from Postpartum Support International, can empower families on the path to healing. Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of perinatal mental health disorders, including postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and psychosis. Sensitive topics such as intrusive thoughts, stigma, feelings of guilt and shame, and the potential for harm to self or others are addressed.

Women are told to be strong, but not hard. Confident, but not intimidating. Emotional, but for the love of God, don't be too sensitive. Apparently, there's some magical “just right” version of womanhood—but nobody seems to have the address. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil talks with Dr. Sasha Hamdani, board-certified psychiatrist, mental health educator, and author of Too Sensitive about why feeling deeply isn't a flaw to fix. They unpack rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), what happens when emotions hijack logic, how hormones impact sensitivity, and practical ways to regulate without stuffing, numbing, or apologizing for what's being felt. In This Episode: Why sensitivity isn't weakness—and can actually be a leadership strength What rejection sensitive dysphoria is and why rejection can hit so damn hard How to regulate emotions without suppressing them Why hormones matter more than women have been taught Why the goal isn't thicker skin—it's greater self-awareness and control Feeling deeply isn't the same as being fragile. The goal isn't to become less sensitive—it's to understand it, work with it, and stop shrinking perfectly human parts of ourselves just because they make someone else uncomfortable.

AI is becoming a matter of national strategy, as countries seek more control over their own technology. Our Heads of U.S. Public Policy Ariana Salvatore and Global Thematic Research Stephen Byrd look at the race for AI sovereignty and its implications for investors.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Ariana Salvatore: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ariana Salvatore, Head of U.S. Public Policy Research at Morgan Stanley. Stephen Byrd: And I'm Stephen Byrd, Head of Global Thematic Research at Morgan Stanley. Ariana Salvatore: Today, we'll be talking about AI sovereignty, what it means, what countries around the world are doing to advance their own goals, and what a more fragmented AI ecosystem could mean for investors.It's Thursday, August 20th at 2pm in New York. Stephen Byrd: And it's 9pm in Helsinki. Ariana Salvatore: As AI becomes more powerful and therefore more important to the global economy, countries are asking a basic question: How much of it do we need to control ourselves? That's at the heart of AI sovereignty, making sure governments around the world can access the computing power, data, energy, and technology they need even as geopolitical tensions may rise. Stephen Byrd: And that seems to fit into a broader trend we've been talking about for some time, a more multipolar world where governments are increasingly willing to intervene in markets around strategically important technologies. Ariana Salvatore: Exactly. We describe this as a potential ‘two worlds dynamic.' The U.S. and China have been gradually de-risking from one another, particularly in advanced technology. We've already seen policy tools, including export controls, tariffs, and incentives for domestic manufacturing. And as AI becomes more strategically important, our expectation is for policy intervention to increase rather than decrease. But what's interesting is that the U.S. and China aren't necessarily pursuing sovereignty in the same way. Stephen Byrd: So, let's unpack that. Can you start with the U.S.? What does the American approach look like? Ariana Salvatore: Yes. We think the U.S. is trying to do two things at once, basically. On one hand, it wants to preserve national security guardrails around some of the most sensitive AI capabilities. But on the other hand, it has an incentive to make sure the American AI tech stack is broadly available to allies and partners. So, there's an inherent tension there between those two objectives. Obviously, if you restrict access too much, you can encourage other countries to develop alternatives,. But if you allow unrestricted access, policymakers may begin to worry about losing control over strategically important technology. So, the way that we chart this is through a middle path. We think the direction of travel looks less like complete technological separation and more like selective access – tighter controls around sensitive capabilities alongside an effort to maintain the global reach of the U.S. AI ecosystem. Stephen Byrd: Whereas China's approach is more focused on building out an indigenous ecosystem. Specifically, we see policymakers in China pursuing greater self-sufficiency across the AI stack, from chips and computing infrastructure to cloud and models. Our China strategists argue that bifurcation could actually increase China's incentive to build a larger China-compatible AI ecosystem abroad, particularly across the Global South and other markets that aren't firmly aligned with the U.S. ecosystem. China's model emphasizes lower-cost models, open weight ecosystems, subsidized compute, cloud partnerships and infrastructure exports. So, the competition could increasingly be about not only which country has the most advanced model, but which ecosystem can achieve the widest adoption. Ariana Salvatore: That's right, and that brings us back to this idea of two worlds. So, Stephen, is the implication here that we're going to be heading toward two completely separate AI systems? Stephen Byrd: Not necessarily, I'd say. You know, the supply chains are still deeply interconnected, so our research does not suggest a sudden decoupling. But we could see greater duplication and less globally fungible infrastructure. Countries may increasingly want compute located domestically or regionally. Sensitive data may need to stay within particular jurisdictions, and companies may need different cloud cybersecurity or distribution arrangements in different markets. And that means the same global level of AI demand could require more physical infrastructure than it would in a completely integrated world. Ariana Salvatore: So, fragmentation, like other themes within multipolarity, are more economically inefficient. But potentially pretty important for the investment cycle. We think sovereign AI can make the system more redundant and more capital-intensive as a result. Our research teams think there are potential beneficiaries from that across semiconductors, data centers, networking, power, cloud, cybersecurity, and infrastructure software. Let's look at data centers specifically. If governments and enterprises increasingly require local hosting and greater control over sensitive data, you will inevitably need more geographically distributed infrastructure. Colocation operators, we think, can benefit because they provide the power, cooling, space, security, and interconnection that can allow customers to keep workloads in specific jurisdictions. So, the fragmentation we're talking about may introduce inefficiency at a system level while simultaneously creating incremental infrastructure demand. Stephen Byrd: And there's another constraint here that we probably shouldn't overlook, which is energy. Compute ultimately needs power. So, access to reliable, affordable electricity becomes part of a country's competitive position in AI, which ties into our politics of energy theme that we outlined in January of this year. But as we've also noted, that creates a political constraint. Our thematic work has highlighted rising concern around the impact of data center growth on power prices and on local infrastructure. This has really shown up in a big way in the U.S. And that can mean more pressure to protect existing rate payers, more emphasis on low-cost power. And greater interest in behind-the-meter or off-grid power solutions that allow data centers to secure electricity without putting the same pressure on the grid. Ariana Salvatore: Which suggests that there's a cost, in fact, to AI sovereignty as well. Stephen Byrd: Absolutely. And if countries want more domestic compute, duplicated infrastructure, localized supply chains, and greater redundancy, the system may become more resilient, but potentially more expensive – and we're certainly seeing signs of it being more expensive. Compute and power are already constrained in many markets. Add to that regulatory requirements, localization, and potential restrictions on technology transfer, and reducing dependence can carry an inflationary cost. So, for investors, I think the question isn't simply whether sovereign AI increases spending. It's also where that spending has to occur, what gets duplicated, and which parts of the stack become strategically indispensable. Ariana Salvatore: So, Steven, to frame this for investors, the way we see this theme unfolding suggests that sovereign AI reinforces rather than undermines the broader AI CapEx cycle. We think competition between the U.S. and China is intensifying. Countries outside those two ecosystems increasingly will want greater national resilience and flexibility. And that combination can support additional spending on compute, data centers, networking, and power for years to come. Lastly, an increasingly important question is who controls and supplies that infrastructure, energy, standards, and supply chains that will allow those models to operate at scale? Stephen Byrd: And that may ultimately be the most important thing to watch. Sovereign AI is another example of geopolitics moving directly into the technology investment cycle and potentially changing not only where AI gets built, but how much infrastructure the world needs to build it. Ariana Salvatore: Steven, we'll leave it there. Thanks so much for joining me. Stephen Byrd: Great to be here, Ariana. Ariana Salvatore: And thanks for listening.

Have you ever been told you're too sensitive? Maybe you take things too personally, overthink, or have a hard time letting things go. According to psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr. Sasha Hamdani, some of us are simply wired to process emotions more intensely. And that sensitivity isn't necessarily a weakness. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Sasha to talk about why some people feel things more deeply and how to better navigate those emotions without letting them take over. We talk about why our brains can turn small moments into big stories and what to do when you feel yourself start to spiral. We also explore how those same qualities can make you more empathetic, perceptive, and emotionally intelligent. And even if you don't identify as sensitive, you'll learn how to better understand and communicate with the people in your life who process emotions differently than you do.

There's a misconception that feeling deep emotions is a personality trait, rather than a neurological phenomenon. A lot of the time, it's nature, not nurture that causes heightened emotional sensitivity. This episode, Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by Dr. Sasha Hamdani, a board-certified psychiatrist and author of Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply. They discuss how the brain processes emotions and why some people feel their emotions more intensely than others. Sam also looks into some drama between mathematicians and OpenAI and a new study that reveals something bizarrely universal about the human race.

Energy Vampires in the Acting Industry Not everyone around you wants you to be emotionally healthy. That is not paranoia. That is a pattern worth recognizing. Because some people feed off insecurity, confusion, desperation, and approval seeking. And as artists, as actors especially, we are emotionally open. We are sensitive. That sensitivity is gorgeous for art. But it is dangerous without discernment. What to Start Noticing How do you feel around the people in your life? Around the people in this industry? Is your confidence being destabilized? Are you ignoring red flags because an opportunity feels important? I experienced teachers in my own training who made me feel emotionally dependent on them. If I did a good scene, they liked me. If I did not, they did not. That is not teaching. That is manipulation. And then there is the breadcrumb thing, leading you along, creating confusion, keeping you uncertain so you keep coming back. Also worth watching out for: actors who constantly compete or undermine. Friends who are always dumping emotionally. We all need someone to unload to sometimes. But if that is the entire relationship, that is a true energy vampire. Chaos Is Not the Same as Alignment Here is something I want you to understand about this industry. Chaos gets very normalized at drama schools, on sets, in groups of actors. And what happens is our nervous system can mistake that intensity for alignment. It is really intense so it must be good. Maybe not. When things are calm, clear, curious, confident, that is when real art gets made. Creativity depends on your emotional safety. Protecting your energy is not selfishness. It is career maintenance. Outsourcing Your Self-Worth I have watched actors hand their emotional authority to agents, coaches, teachers, social media. And as a coach, when an actor asks me what I think, unless it is about a specific business question, I want to know what they think. A good mentor does not hunt for their student. They teach their student how to hunt so that when they separate, the student can thrive. Healthy coaches empower and clarify. They build your confidence and teach you how to build it yourself. Manipulative people create dependency and chronic inadequacy. Spot those people in your life. Say less around them. Listen more. Pay attention to how your body feels after every interaction. Do you feel calmer and clearer? Or more anxious and contracted? The Bottom Line People pleasers and validation seekers are easy to manipulate. I was both. The work is learning to check in with yourself first, to notice how you feel, and to reach for a better feeling when something is off. If somebody consistently leaves your nervous system dysregulated, pay attention. That is information. Sensitive actors with boundaries are the ones who become powerful.

  00:03 — In a big coup for Salesforce, the Pentagon has approved the use of its Missionforce national security platform to launch AI agents on the most sensitive unclassified missions, and that's because it's been granted Impact Level Five, or IL5 , authorization. 00:21 — The first major user will be Army Human Resources Command, which will use the technology to help with soldier and family support and everyday admin tasks. Later, there will be other use cases, including recruiting, personnel management, and logistics. The big thing here is that Salesforce AI can now take actions and automate workflows. 00:47 — Handling routine tasks while human specialists can stay in the background and remain responsible for sensitive decisions. For the Pentagon, this is quite a jump, moving from AI that, beforehand, solely advised to AI that can actually execute tasks autonomously in military operations. That's no small thing, and I think the fact that Salesforce has won this contract is a massive reflection. 01:14 — On the level of security and governance that the company has in place around its agentic infrastructure, and that will certainly be an attractive proposition for customers. Government contracts always help to boost the credentials of a company, but here, in the age of AI, to have a government department okay the use of agents in an autonomous capacity is a very big win indeed.

With Timothy now part of their group, Paul and Silas continued with their plan to visit and strengthen the churches in Asia minor. But God had a bigger vision for what He wanted them to do, and a divine appointment for them to keep all the way over in Europe, so by closing doors and by giving Paul a direct vision, the Holy Spirit directed them right where He wanted them to go. In this sermon, we explore how believers can prayerfully discern the leading of the Holy Spirit.

What if employees could access sensitive business applications from personal phones without storing company data on those devices? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Jared Shepard, CEO of Hypori, about virtual mobile infrastructure, BYOD security, employee privacy, zero trust, and the growing mobile threat created by AI. Jared's personal story deserves attention in its own right. He describes himself as a former homeless high school dropout who joined the Army, discovered an aptitude for IT, and applied what he learned to difficult technology problems in Iraq and Afghanistan. That experience gave him a firsthand understanding of what people working at the edge need from secure communications. The requirement that led to Hypori was unusually demanding. Users needed to obtain a phone from a local market, connect through a network assumed to be compromised, and access a protected enterprise environment without exposing sensitive information. Hypori's answer is virtual mobile infrastructure. According to the company, applications and enterprise data remain inside a protected cloud environment while the user receives a streamed visual experience. Sensitive data is not stored on the physical phone, tablet, or laptop. Jared explains why this differs from mobile device management. MDM attempts to secure, monitor, and control the endpoint. Hypori begins from the assumption that the endpoint may already be compromised. This can also protect employee privacy because the organization does not need visibility into the worker's personal device. We discuss how this approach could help government, defense, healthcare, banking, and smaller businesses that cannot maintain the same mobile security resources as a large enterprise. However, virtual infrastructure does not remove every responsibility. Organizations still need strong identity controls, protected cloud environments, reliable connectivity, policy enforcement, and careful vendor assessment. Jared also argues that AI is reducing the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation. Security programs built around monthly patching may struggle when attack windows are measured in minutes. The conversation closes with leadership, resilience, and mentorship. Jared explains why hard work alone does not guarantee success and why valuable lessons can come from investors, generals, colleagues, friends, or the janitor who has spent 20 years observing how an organization works. Could virtual mobile infrastructure give employees secure access and personal privacy without forcing companies to control every device? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts.
