Filmmakers, welcome back to the podcast! Today Giles Alderson is sitting down with director Jonatan Etzler to talk about his brand new feature, Bad Apples. Now, if you want a masterclass in putting in the reps, Jonatan is your guy. He directed 17 short films that played at various festivals, including Intercourse, which screened at South by Southwest, and Swimmer, which won Best Comedy at Clermont-Ferrand. His graduation film from film school in Sweden even led to a Student Academy Award win and helped him secure a UK agent! We talk all about the massive transition from directing shorts—which he brilliantly describes as focusing on one specific situation or idea—to building full, complex character development across a feature film. His new film, Bad Apples, is an awkward, intoxicating ride. Jonatan breaks down his entire process, from writing a five-page English synopsis based on a book by Rasmus Lindgren to teaming up with producer Oskar Pimlott at Pulse Films and hiring screenwriter Jess O'Kane.

This week, we hear from first-round NFL draft pick and former Cincinnati Bengals player David Pollack, whose career was cut short by a devastating neck injury. David shares the heartbreak of a dream lost and the strength he drew from that time years later, as he watched his wife face a brain cancer diagnosis. Next, we’ll hear from physicist and author Dr. Brian Miller. While studying at MIT, Brian found his faith challenged by skeptics and began asking whether belief in God could stand up to scientific scrutiny. The answers he found changed the way he sees both science and the world around him.

It’s amazing to watch God work in the quiet. The Bible says, ‘Be still and know that I am God.’ Well, how many times do you do that? How many times do you get still enough to hear from God?” - David Pollack “There’s going to be a time in your life where you are forced to carry a cross you didn’t earn, you didn’t deserve, and you don’t want. And here’s the thing—how are you going to carry it?” - David Pollack “Because God’s been so gracious to us and given us a lot of hard times in our lives, you start to figure out how you’re going to handle it. I think running away from God is not an option anymore. It’s running to God.” - David Pollack “What I often find with people is the more they understand that the world was created, the more they have awe and wonder at its creation, and the more they know where to look to see what’s most remarkable about creation. The more we look, the more we see it’s optimally designed, and brilliantly designed, to achieve a goal. It’s not just that we have a Creator, but a Creator of virtually infinite intelligence and wisdom and care and love.” - Dr. Brian Miller “Pretty much every major prediction of people that believe life is an accident has proven false, but every major prediction of people who believe life is designed has proven true.” - Dr. Brian Miller “As we show people the evidence of the design of the world, we’re trying to show that there is a greater purpose, there is true hope in life, that they do have a purpose. And when you understand that there’s a greater story that God is calling you to be a part of, it’ll help you live a life that can have a purpose, that will resonate into eternity.” - Dr. Brian Miller “As you reconnect with God and you allow your life to come into alignment with the work of the Holy Spirit in you, suddenly the story will become true. Suddenly, you’ll become a player in the story, you’ll see God act through you in powerful ways.” - Dr. Brian Miller ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

What Is Consciousness? Near-Death Experiences, Neuroscience, Frequency & Exploring What Lies Beyond the Brain | MasatiWhat exactly is consciousness, and is it something that exists beyond the physical brain?In this episode of Psynautical, I sit down with Masati for a fascinating conversation exploring consciousness, near-death experiences, neuroscience, frequency, Xponential Intelligence, and our understanding of reality.Masati has experienced multiple near-death experiences that he says profoundly changed his understanding of consciousness, human potential, time, space, and the nature of reality. His experiences eventually led him to develop what he calls Xponential Intelligence (XI), a framework centered around consciousness, frequencies, and human transformation.We dive into what happened during his near-death experiences and how those experiences influenced the way he sees consciousness. We also explore the relationship between science and spirituality, including where concepts such as neuroscience, quantum physics, frequency, and what Masati describes as our personal “blueprint” intersect.But rather than simply accepting extraordinary claims at face value, we also discuss the importance of questioning, skepticism, and trying to understand these experiences through different perspectives.In this conversation, we explore:• What consciousness actually is and whether it is limited to the brain• Masati's multiple near-death experiences and how they changed his perspective• What he experienced during those encounters with death• The relationship between near-death experiences and expanded consciousness• How neuroscience may help us understand consciousness and subjective experience• Xponential Intelligence and the ideas behind it• Frequency, energy, and Masati's concept of our personal blueprint• The relationship between consciousness, time, and space• Science, spirituality, and where the two may intersect• How to remain curious and open-minded while still asking difficult questions• Whether extraordinary experiences can teach us something about human potential• Practical ways we can become more conscious and aware in our everyday livesWhether you're interested in near-death experiences, consciousness, neuroscience, spirituality, or simply the deeper questions surrounding what it means to be human, this conversation offers plenty to think about.Connect with Masati and learn more about his work:

Betches senior video producers Tess Tregellas and Madeline Mahoney reveal how they transformed a viral social media premise into their flagship scripted comedy series Sisters. They outline the operational mechanics of building an in-house creator studio, maintaining a sponsor-free first season to protect brand voice, and driving multi-platform distribution completely organically.Key Highlights

I am going to do this one differently. Normally I lay out the case for a channel and then tell you who it suits. Today I am starting with the answer, because this is a question we get asked all the time and it deserves a straight response rather than a long build-up. The question is: is YouTube worth it for a recruitment or search business? My honest answer, for most of you reading this, is no. Not because the audience is not there. It is. YouTube has the biggest reach of any channel we have covered in this series, and it is not close. And not because the content would not work. It would. It is because of what YouTube asks of you. And it comes down to one thing that only you can answer. Are you comfortable on video? And will you still be comfortable on video in nine months, when the view counts are still small, and nobody has booked a call off the back of it? That is the real question. Everything else follows from it. So let me take you through what the data says, why I have landed where I have, and then the cases where I would change my mind. Because there are some, and you might be one of them. The Audience Is Enormous, and That Matters Let us start with size, because this is where YouTube is genuinely different from everything else we have looked at. In the UK, YouTube reaches 55.5 million people. That is 79.7% of the population. That comes from Google's own advertising data, compiled by DataReportal in November last year. In Australia, 21 million people. That is 77.7% of the population. In the US, around 253 million. There is a better piece of data behind that American number, and it is the one I would hold on to. Pew Research, in November last year, found that 84% of US adults use YouTube. It has the highest reach of any platform Pew measures. And it is the only one where a majority of every single age group uses it. 95% of 18- to 29-year-olds. 92% of 30- to 49-year-olds. 85% of 50- to 64-year-olds. And 64% of those over 65. Ofcom put UK adult usage at 94%. Why does that matter to you? Because in every other channel in this series I have had to tell you that the people who hire you might not be there. Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, all of them come with that caveat. YouTube does not. The hiring managers you want are on YouTube. So are the candidates. So is everybody. And they do not just drop in. UK adults spend around 51 minutes a day on YouTube. In the US it is about 35 minutes. One thing I want to be straight with you about before we go further. If you go looking for a global user figure for YouTube, you will find anything between 2.53 billion and 2.85 billion depending on who you read. Google does not publish an official number. So I am giving you the three country figures instead. Those are clean, and they are the ones that matter to you. So Why Am I Telling You Not to Bother? Fair question. If the audience is that big, why is this not a yes? Because reach isn’t the same as relevance, and YouTube isn’t built for what most of you need. YouTube is a search engine. Google owns it, and people use it the way they use Google. They type in a question, and they watch the answer. That is a real strength for a certain kind of content. Somebody typing in a question about a counteroffer, what a role pays, or whether they should be using a search consultant has a live problem. If your video is the answer, you have met them at exactly the right moment. But look at what that means for you. You are not going out to find people. You are waiting for people to come and find you. That is brand building, not lead generation. It is slow. The upside is that it compounds, and I do not want to undersell that. A video you post this month can still be bringing people to you in three years. A LinkedIn post is finished in about seventy-two hours. Nothing else you do has that shelf life. The downside is what you cannot do. YouTube gives you no way to put your content in front of hiring managers specifically. LinkedIn does. On LinkedIn, you can pick a job title, a company size, and a seniority level. On YouTube, you get broad interests and broad demographics, and that is about your lot. So you cannot go hunting for clients on YouTube. You can only build something and hope the right people search for it. The people who market for a living have already worked this out. Hootsuite's 2026 figures show 85% of business-to-business marketers name LinkedIn as their highest return channel. Facebook is second at 28%. YouTube is third at 22%. Those add up to more than a hundred because people could pick more than one. A separate survey from September last year asked marketers generally how they rated YouTube's return. 33% said it was strong. Facebook was at 54%, Instagram at 43%. So YouTube is not a bad channel. It is a middling channel for business-to-business, rated by people with far more time and budget than you have. What YouTube Asks of You Now, the cost- and I do not mean money. Uploading a video is easy. Anyone can do it. Building an audience is a different job entirely, and three things have changed in the last eighteen months that made it harder than it used to be. One. YouTube changed what it rewards. Watch time used to be the main ranking signal. It is not any more. It is now viewer satisfaction: whether people say they enjoyed it in the surveys YouTube runs, whether they come back and watch again, and whether they keep watching after yours. That was confirmed by Todd Beaupre, YouTube's Senior Director of Growth and Discovery. The good news is that a strong three-minute video can now beat a padded ten-minute one. The bad news is you are being marked on something you cannot see in your own numbers. Two. Shorts and long videos are now two separate systems. They were split at the end of 2025, and completely different algorithms rank them. So if you planned to post a Short, get traction, and have that pull people toward your longer videos, that no longer happens. A Short doing well lifts nothing else. Two formats, two audiences, two jobs. Three. Shorts now get about an hour to prove themselves. You have a 30- to 60-minute test window after you post. In that hour, YouTube decides whether to push it further or let it go quiet. The retention bar is high: around 65% for anything under 30 seconds, around 50% for 30 to 60 seconds. Miss it, and the video is done. There is also a filter now that suppresses repeated formats and recycled hooks. So the make-one-thing-and-rework-it-fifteen-ways approach that works elsewhere works against you here. And as of May this year, AI disclosure rules became enforceable, with automatic detection flagging undisclosed AI-generated content and limiting how far it travels. Worth knowing if you are using AI tools to help produce video. Add all that up. To do YouTube properly, you need to film consistently, edit, write titles that work as search terms, design thumbnails people click on, read retention data, and keep going for months before any of it means anything. And then there is the time. This is the part every article you read about YouTube skips, so let me say it plainly. Filming takes time. Not the six minutes the video runs for. The setup, the retakes, the editing, the thumbnail, the title, the upload, and then going back in a fortnight to see how it did. You are running a small team. Most of you are still carrying a desk yourself. So where is that time coming from? Because it is not coming from nowhere. It is coming out of business development, delivery, or your evening. I could not find a reliable hours-per-week benchmark for this, and I am not going to invent one. Instead, I suggest you film one video properly, start to finish, and time yourself. Then multiply that by however many weeks you think you will keep it up. That number is the real cost of the channel, and it is usually what stops people, not the marketing. And before anybody asks, yes, AI avatar tools now can read your script with a face that is not yours. I would not recommend it. You are in a people business, selling trust, and the moment somebody realises they are watching a synthetic version of you, you have lost the very thing you were trying to build. There is also the point I just made about disclosure, so you could end up paying that price for a video that does not get seen anyway. Some of you can do all this. Most of you have a business to run. A Question to Consider So here is where it comes down to you, not the platform. Are you comfortable on camera? Not would you like to be. Not could you learn. Comfortable this month, filming yourself talking for six or seven minutes without four retakes and a knot in your stomach. Be honest with yourself on this one, because a lot of people answer it with the version of themselves they intend to become. If the answer is no, YouTube is the wrong place to start. You would be taking the format you find hardest and putting it on the platform that demands the most consistency. That combination is why so many recruitment channels have four videos on them from two years ago. If the answer is yes, I have different advice, and it might surprise you. Put the video on LinkedIn. If you are comfortable on camera, the video is the valuable thing. The platform is secondary. Your clients are on LinkedIn, and when somebody there reacts or comments, you know exactly who they are, and you can follow up the same day. On YouTube, you get a view count and no idea who was behind it. Then, if you want, put the same video on YouTube afterwards so it is searchable, and so you have got somewhere to point people. Use YouTube as your library. Not as your shop window. That is the position I would take with almost every member we work with, and it is what I would say to you if we were on a call. When I Would Change My Mind There is a version of this where I would tell you to go all in. Three conditions, and I would want all three, not two out of three. One. You are comfortable on video, and you will still be doing it in a year. Not a burst. A habit. YouTube rewards people who keep showing up, and it does little for people who don’t. Two. You work in a sector where people research slowly. Executive search. Technology. Professional services. Anywhere a hiring manager might spend weeks working out what they need before they speak to a single recruiter. That long consideration period is what YouTube's search function does well. If you are in high-volume, fast-turnaround staffing, this is not your channel. Nobody is watching an eight-minute video before they apply for a shift. Three. You already have the content. Testimonials you could film. Market commentary you give away on every call anyway. The same six questions every candidate asks you. If you are starting from a blank page and a blank channel, that is two jobs, not one. All three true? Build it properly. Two out of three? Do the videos on LinkedIn and use YouTube as the archive. One out of three? Leave it alone and put the time into a channel that will pay you back sooner. If You Are Going to Do It, Do This If you ticked all three, here is the practical part. The formats that suit a recruitment or search business are the ones that answer questions people already type in: Candidate and client FAQs Role explainers and day in the life videos Market insight and salary commentary Short testimonial clips from happy clients A few things that make a real difference: Build playlists and series rather than posting one-offs. They keep people watching longer, and session length is now one of the strongest signals for long videos. Write your titles as search terms, not as clever headlines. This is a search engine. Think about what someone would type. For Shorts, 30 to 45 seconds is the sweet spot for clearing the retention bar. If your channel is under 50,000 subscribers, use your own voiceover rather than trending audio. Original audio gets a ranking benefit at that size. And the mistakes worth avoiding: Recycling the same hook and the same format over and over. That gets suppressed now. Posting a Short and walking away. Watch the first hour, because that is the window that decides its fate. Assuming a Short doing well will lift your longer videos. It will not. They were decoupled at the end of 2025. For measurement, YouTube Studio gives you everything you need for free. The numbers to watch are average view duration and retention percentage, click-through rate on your thumbnails, subscriber growth, and for Shorts, whether people swipe past in the first few seconds or stay. Note what is not on that list. Views. Views are the number everyone looks at and the one that tells you the least. What the Advertising Costs A quick word on paid, because people ask. YouTube advertising runs through Google Ads; it is auction-based, and there is no rate card. The short version: it is cheap to be seen. Skippable ads, the ones people can skip after five seconds, run at pennies per view. One 2026 analysis covering over a million dollars of ad spend put the average at just under 3 cents a view and 49 cents a click. Being seen has never been the hard part, though. Being remembered by the right person is. Two caveats before you plan a budget off any of that. Those are global and US-blended figures, because I couldn’t find separate UK, US, or Australian benchmarks. I also couldn’t verify a minimum spend for YouTube ads. One thing worth knowing if you do go paid. 59% of people now see YouTube ads on a television screen rather than a phone or a laptop, and that changes what a good video looks like. What I Could Not Find I want to be open about something, because this series is meant to be straight with you. I could not find a single verified recruitment case study for YouTube. Not one with numbers I would be willing to read out to you. Plenty of general video marketing data exists. Agency case studies don’t separate YouTube from everything else running at the same time. No recruitment-specific, independently checked evidence shows a recruitment or search business built its client base on YouTube. I am not going to invent one to make this post feel more complete. That absence is part of the answer. If YouTube were reliably working for businesses like yours, somebody would have published the numbers by now. Pulling It Together YouTube has the biggest and broadest audience of any channel in this series. Around eight in ten people in the UK and Australia. 84% of American adults, and the only platform where a majority of every age group is present. The people who hire you are on it. It works like a search engine, which means it compounds and keeps working long after you post. That is a genuine advantage nothing else gives you. But it gives you no way to target the people you want; it ranks third for business-to-business behind LinkedIn; and it asks for months of consistent filming and editing before it gives you anything back. That is hours a week out of a diary that is already full. So my answer to the question we get asked is this. For most micro and small recruitment and search businesses, YouTube isn’t worth building as a channel. If you are comfortable on camera, make the videos and put them on LinkedIn where your clients already are. Use YouTube as a library underneath, so the work stays findable. And if you are not comfortable on camera, please do not start here. Start where you can be consistent, because consistency beats the platform every time. I hope that has been useful. Thanks Denise How We Can Help You Choosing the right two or three channels and leaving the rest alone is one of the most valuable decisions you will make this year, and it is one of the first things we work through with new members inside Superfast Circle. Our members get the content written for them, monthly coaching, and a clear plan for where their marketing effort goes so they are not spreading themselves across six platforms and getting nowhere on any of them.

Ulta is facing backlash over its use of Flock Safety's automated license plate reader technology, raising bigger questions about transparency, communication, and how retailers handle technology that can impact their customers. Chris Walton and Shelley Huff discuss whether the bigger problem is the technology itself or the way Ulta communicated its use of it. The big question: When retailers use controversial technology, how much transparency do customers deserve? ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here: https://youtu.be/x4hGqvRTilY

Costco has quietly shut down Costco Next, its member-only online marketplace that connected shoppers with products from outside brands. Chris Walton and Shelley Huff discuss why Costco's club model may not translate neatly to a marketplace business, and what the move says about where Costco wants to focus its digital strategy. The big question: Does Costco really need a marketplace when its core model is already working? ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here: https://youtu.be/x4hGqvRTilY

Amazon is bringing back its digital grocery pop-up for Labor Day, but the bigger question is what these short-term grocery pushes actually accomplish for the retailer. Chris Walton and Shelley Huff discuss whether Amazon's grocery pop-ups are a smart way to build share and stay top of mind, or just another temporary promotion in an increasingly crowded grocery market. The big question: Is Amazon building a grocery business, or just building grocery moments? ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here:https://youtu.be/x4hGqvRTilY

Sephora is testing monthly exclusive product drops on TikTok Shop, giving the beauty retailer another way to create demand and build community around new products.

Sprouts has named Nick Konat as its next CEO, with the leadership transition set to take effect in January 2027. Chris Walton and Shelley Huff discuss what Konat should focus on as he takes the reins, from staying disciplined on the retailer's existing strategy to executing the roadmap already in motion.

Recording from Omaha, Nebraska on September 11, Nancy explores the danger of internal sabotage—what can happen when the greatest threat is not simply what is attacking from the outside, but what has already been permitted to operate within. Using the wartime concept of the “fifth column,” Nancy examines how tolerated compromise, divided loyalties, unresolved offense, sin, and agreement with darkness can create footholds personally, corporately, and even nationally. From Ephesians 4:27 to Hebrews 3:13, she calls maturing sons to vigilance, exclusive allegiance to the Father, and a willingness to allow Holy Spirit to bring the soul and body under the government of the Spirit. This episode is a call to wake up, shut the door to internal compromise, and stand in the freedom Christ has given us—becoming sons who are dangerous to darkness, useless to religious systems, and deeply inconvenient to the ways of man.

A hung jury hands Lindsay Clancy eleven votes to acquit and one lone holdout, on a defense theory that boils down to women being too hormonal to be held responsible for premeditated murder. David and Brad walk through the Google searches, the CVS alibi, and the exercise bands, then turn to the crowd in pink shorts who raised over a million dollars to cheer on a woman who strangled her own children one at a time. If hormones are dangerous enough to excuse that, the guys want to know why the same crowd is so eager to hand them to kids. Also, Neil Diamond may now be a hologram.

Instagram's own internal research showed its algorithm was damaging teenage girls, and Meta kept it running because the engagement was worth the ad revenue. In this Brand Retro episode, Mike Brevik breaks down what more than 40 state lawsuits against Meta and a quiet YouTube view-count rewrite reveal about the platforms every brand is building on, then flips the story with two campaigns, Spotify's hyperlocal billboards and Heinz's bride bib, that won by listening instead of chasing the algorithm. KEY TAKEAWAYS Meta is facing lawsuits from more than 40 US states after internal research showed Instagram's algorithm was linked to anxiety, depression, and body image harm in teen girls, and the company kept it running anyway. YouTube quietly rewrote how it counts Shorts views to stay competitive with TikTok, a reminder that platform metrics are defined by whoever owns the platform, not by an objective standard. The brands in the strongest long-term position are not the biggest spenders. They are the ones who own their audience through email and SMS and are not entirely dependent on an algorithm to reach people. Spotify's hyperlocal billboard campaign and Heinz's bride bib prove the same lesson: listening to what an audience is already doing and saying beats guessing at what they might respond to. Build through platforms, not on them. Use algorithm-driven reach while it's available, but never treat it as the foundation. LINKS AND RESOURCES Brand Retro Podcast: brandretro.com Cyberdogz Agency: cyberdogzmarketing.com Mike Brevik: mike@cyberdogzmarketing.com KEYWORDS Instagram algorithm, YouTube view counts, Meta lawsuit, teen mental health, platform risk, algorithm dependency, owned audience marketing, email marketing ROI, Spotify Wrapped, hyperlocal marketing, Heinz marketing campaign, viral marketing trends, social media regulation, Frances Haugen, brand resilience, platform-proof branding, Mike Brevik, Brand Retro EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [00:00:00 - 00:01:00] Mike opens with the episode's three threads: Instagram's internal research, YouTube's quiet view-count change, and a ketchup brand that read its audience better than most marketing teams. [00:03:00 - 00:05:00] YouTube quietly rewrote how it counts Shorts views to compete with TikTok, and Mike explains why the platforms define those numbers however keeps people on the app. [00:05:00 - 00:07:00] More than 40 state attorneys general are suing Meta over documents showing Instagram's own research linked the platform to anxiety, depression, and body image harm in teen girls. [00:07:00 - 00:08:00] Mike reframes the lawsuits as a preview: every major platform is heading toward tighter rules, and resilience matters more than ad budget. [00:08:00 - 00:11:00] Spotify's hyperlocal billboard campaign turns real user playlist names into city-specific ads, Mike's example of listening before posting. [00:11:00 - 00:13:00] Heinz spots a viral wedding drive-thru trend and launches an actual bride bib instead of just posting about it. [00:13:00 - 00:14:00] Mike lays out the four takeaways: build through the platform, own your audience, listen before you post, and use the algorithm without depending on it.

*This episode contains content that may be triggering for some listeners.* This week, as the country remembers the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11, we’re talking with Darin Kinder, a retired Secret Service agent who survived the September 11th attacks and was later awarded a Medal of Valor for his actions that day. Kinder recounts the chaos of that morning, from treating the wounded on the street to making the choice to go back into a collapsing tower to help others get out. Later in the episode, we feature Sam Eaton. After enduring years of severe depression, the former music teacher had made plans to take his own life on Christmas Day in 2011. However, a single pivotal question intervened at the final second, steering him toward a new direction and a mission to support others through their own darkest trials.

And that’s our mission as witnesses of Christ, as ambassadors representing Christ—to be the man, to be a woman standing in the alley, pointing people to the light of the world.” - Darin Kinder “Sometimes God creates miracles, but most of the time He creates people. This world is full of problems, and you and I were created to be part of the solution for at least one.” - Darin Kinder “I want to encourage people to get outside of the walls of their church and engage humanity, engage the problem. Bring the love of Christ, bring the light of Christ into the dark places.” - Darin Kinder “I was so angry because so much of the messaging I had heard in my Christian journey was ,’God has great plans for your life.’ We hear that so often. And of course, I believe that. But in moments of extreme pain, when you can’t see hope, I was like, ‘Oh God, wow, if these are the great plans that you have for our lives--so much pain that I’m not even sure I want to be alive--how can you be a good God?’” - Sam Eaton “Have you really given life everything you’ve got? Because I think that’s the life that Jesus calls us to: to be brave and courageous and to give it what we’ve got, no matter how hopeless we might feel.” - Sam Eaton “I was made on purpose for a purpose, and there’s been this good God who’s been this quiet and gentle voice that’s willing to meet us when we make a little time for Him.” - Sam Eaton “We lose almost 50,000 people a year to suicide in the U.S. We just have to be willing to talk about it, to have these hard conversations, and to encourage people to seek the medical help that can help them like it has helped me create a life that they want to live and that they can love.” - Sam Eaton ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

They discuss how symptoms can vary widely between individuals and across different stages of the transition, while also highlighting why emerging research should be interpreted with curiosity rather than certainty.

What if karma isn't a cosmic system of reward and punishment? In this Living the Tao Short (2-30), Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod and Morgan unpack the idea of the karmic nursery—a condition in which actions may have social consequences without accumulating the kind of karmic weight that produces lasting power. That protection comes with a tradeoff: no consequence also means no power. Steenrod explains why karma, in this framework, is not the universe handing out justice. Instead, karmic accumulation depends on consistency. A person may act positively, negatively, or neutrally—but without consistency, little accumulates. Leave the nursery, and actions begin to add up. They can build power, diminish it, move you toward what you seek, or move you away. The conversation also explores why someone might choose to return to the nursery, why doing so can mean living a “much smaller life,” and why the karmic nursery is not simply a product of the social mind. A short discussion about consequence, responsibility, ling, and what it means for your actions to truly matter.   hat if the future already exists—and your choices still matter? In this Living the Tao Short, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod and Morgan explore the Taoist concept of nonlinear time: a model in which past, present, and future are not simply points moving along a single line. The conversation moves from memory and our ordinary experience of time into much stranger territory. If every moment remains part of existence, does that mean everything is predetermined? Steenrod argues that it does not. Change, in the Taoist model he describes, does not necessarily depend upon linear time. Along the way, they examine why our sense of the past may be tied to fading memory, why every action may remain part of existence, why Taoism resists placing the individual at the center of creation, and why nonlinear time was traditionally a subject reserved for more advanced practice. The future has already happened. And somehow, you may still be writing it.   Prefer the video format?  That's here: https://youtu.be/gI1MFRJGASs

Recording from Warsaw, Poland, Nancy offers a necessary clarification from the previous episode and takes the conversation deeper into what it means to live as sons of light. Revisiting 1 Corinthians 14:23–25, she carefully distinguishes its immediate context—the unbeliever or untaught outsider entering a gathering where the prophetic word is operating—from the inward work of Hebrews 4:12–13 in believers. Nancy emphasizes that the goal of prophetic ministry is never to magnify the prophet, but to reveal the heart so clearly that the hearer is left with one conclusion: God is among us in truth. From there, she connects Hebrews 3:13, Hebrews 4:12–13, 1 Thessalonians 5:5, and Ephesians 5:13 to show the progression of a people who are not merely sons of light by identity, but who are learning to live and function in the light. As the Word cuts, exposes, and matures us, darkness loses its ability to remain comfortably concealed. This episode is a call to become a responsive people—dangerous to darkness, useless to religious systems, and deeply inconvenient to the ways of man simply because we are living as who the Father has made us to be.

Replay from May 2024 Kevin J Briggs is an author and specialises in consciousness and the connection to ET/UFOs. His recently published book “Spiritual Consciousness A Personal Journey” covers 56 years of his experiences of ET contact and UFO connections. He's had open physical contact with his ET guides since he was 8 years old, who are from arcturus planetary system in the Andromeda galaxy, as well as other ET's from other star systems. He is connected to a galactic council of 8 beings who are overseeing the shift on planet earth at this time. “How do we know we are conscious? Some people never achieve knowing about consciousness. Some people find it hard to understand and believe. This book is for people who are curious, or perhaps they themselves have had an experience that they cannot explain and don't know where to turn. You are not alone.” Appreciate KAren's work Awakening Consciousness? THANK YOU for your Support for the content.

Target is launching Target Beauty Studio with more than 1,600 products from 90 brands, including more than two-thirds that are brand new to Target. But can this new beauty destination successfully fill the space left behind by Ulta? Chris Walton, Ben Miller, Michael Prendergast, and Ken Davidson debate whether Target's future in beauty depends on finding the next big brands, creating the right assortment, or proving that its merchandising team can still deliver. ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here: https://youtu.be/NXUUmuwrX2Q

Sur La Table has entered the resale game with Second Servings, a new peer-to-peer marketplace for kitchenware, home goods, and dining products. The Fast Five crew debates whether the marketplace is a smart, low-lift opportunity or simply a distraction that won't generate enough traffic to move the needle. And after taking a closer look at the platform, Ben Miller raises another interesting question: is this really a peer-to-peer marketplace, or a new way for Sur La Table to sell discounted and returned merchandise? ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here: https://youtu.be/NXUUmuwrX2Q

Amazon is reportedly exploring Project Tetromino, an internal initiative aimed at building fully automated delivery stations and bringing even more robotics into the last mile. The Fast Five crew discusses whether full automation is inevitable, how quickly Amazon could make it happen, and why the company appears hesitant to publicly own its automation ambitions. Because when Amazon already has more than a million robots deployed, the question may not be if automation is coming, but just how fast. ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here: https://youtu.be/NXUUmuwrX2Q

Stripe believes the traditional online checkout page is on its way out as AI agents and agentic commerce begin to reshape how consumers shop. Michael Prendergast, Ken Davidson, Ben Miller, and Chris Walton discuss what happens when the purchasing process becomes increasingly machine-led, from eliminating friction and clicks to completely rethinking promotions, pricing, and how retailers compete for transactions.

Walmart is expanding its restaurant delivery ambitions beyond the Subway locations inside its stores, and the Fast Five crew thinks this could become much more than just a grocery delivery add-on. Ken Davidson sees it primarily as a logical bolt-on, while Michael Prendergast, Ben Miller, and Chris Walton argue Walmart's massive store footprint, delivery density, and potential drone capabilities could eventually make it a much bigger threat to DoorDash and Uber Eats. ▶️ Watch the full Fast Five episode here: https://youtu.be/NXUUmuwrX2Q

We’re joined by author and counselor Chuck DeGroat, who explores the profound invitation of the second half of life—a season where we are called to move beyond the “proving and performing” of our younger years. Chuck shares why this transition calls us to detangle our identities and embrace a slower, “non-microwavable” path to healing. He explains how cultivating spaces of safety and reconnection allows us to finally come home—to ourselves, to one another, and to God. Later, we’ll hear from David and Alicia Lloyd. After more than two decades of dedicated service in the country of Haiti, they faced a devastating crisis that upended their world and challenged everything they thought they understood about God’s faithfulness. They share the raw, vulnerable journey of navigating profound loss and the unexpected ways they ultimately discovered God anew in the aftermath.

What I thought I needed to chase after—that usually comes with a lot of should’s. And we’ve got to trace that story back often to early childhood. Where did those should’s and ought’s come from? And what was the deeper dream? What was the deep longing, the deeper vision?” - Chuck DeGroat “You’re noticing things that you didn’t have time to notice in the first half of life when you were living according to the rules of busyness and proving and protecting. But with that, there are also questions of mortality like, Did it mean anything? What have I lost? Who have I hurt along the way in my busyness and my workaholism?” - Chuck DeGroat “God created us with a physiological connection point, or maybe even call it a homing beacon, that reminds us that our deepest longing is for home, is for connection, is for love.” - Chuck DeGroat “We stray from home into places that are disconnected, sometimes overwhelmed, sometimes frantic. Sometimes we find ourselves in anxious places, and yet the invitation to my clients, the invitation from God to you and to me, is always to return home.” - Chuck DeGroat “There’s no fast track to change. There’s no microwavable pathway to change. It’s slow, and sometimes painful, but it begins with reconnection, and reconnection can only happen when our nervous systems experience a sense of safety. When we know within us, and around us, that we’re in a place where we’re truly seen and known and held, that’s when we can begin to shift in a new direction.” - Chuck DeGroat “We had prayed so many times before that [God] would show up in the middle of whatever we’re facing, and [He] had showed up, God, like we prayed.” - David Lloyd “God did show up, just not the way we had prayed. But God was there.” - David Lloyd “For me, my moments of grief, my moments of breakdown, were when I was by myself, which was usually not always the most opportune times.” - David Lloyd “I realized that God still does care about us, He does still realize that we’re hurting, and we can just call out to Him, and we can say, ‘We need some relief.’” - David Lloyd ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
