Send us Fan MailIf a student can get a perfectly tailored lesson from AI in seconds, what exactly is the teacher's job, and what does school become? That question sits underneath every new adaptive platform, every AI policy debate, and every parent's uneasy feeling that “personalized” might also mean “alone.”We talk with Tom Woelper, Head of School at Cheshire Academy, about what's genuinely promising in adaptive learning technology and where schools can go too far. We dig into why pairing teachers with AI can beat either one alone, how personalization can free up time for projects and real-world skill building, and why the best outcomes start with a simple habit: decide the learning goal first, then pick the tool (sometimes the best tool is still pencil and paper). Along the way, we unpack the real risk of cognitive offloading, when students stop thinking hard because the machine is always ready to think for them.From academic integrity to smarter assessment, Tom shares a practical “traffic light” framework for AI use: red light (no AI), yellow light (limited AI), and green light (AI allowed with clarity and attribution). We also zoom out to the parts of learning AI can't replicate, including teacher-student relationships, belonging, and the subtle cues teachers read in a room. And we make the case that libraries and librarians matter more than ever as guides for source quality, bias, and information literacy in an age of instant answers.If you care about AI in education, student engagement, and the future of teaching, you'll leave with concrete strategies and a clearer north star: keep human connection at the center.

Send us Fan MailThe wind that sweeps across the Kansas plains in early April is sharp enough to peel paint from the clapboard facades of Dodge City's Front Street, and it carries with it the names of men who once kept order with a Colt and a badge. On the morning Ed Masterson walked his final patrol, the temperature hovered just above freezing, the kind of chill that seeps into the bones and makes a man's hand slow on the draw. We follow the faint, crumbling trail of his remains, from the military orderlies at Fort Dodge to the tangled grass of Prairie Grove Cemetery, and finally to the neat, sun-bleached stones of Maple Grove. What begins as the echo of gunfire along the city's infamous deadline becomes a meticulous search for a vanished grave—a story of how the relentless sprawl of new streets and new ambitions can erase even the memory of a lawman's last stand.We walk the sawdust-strewn floors of Dodge's saloons, where the gaslight flickers against whiskey bottles and the air is thick with the scent of cheap tobacco. In the alley beside the Lady Gay Saloon, a single shot splits the night, and history hesitates: did Ed's bullet find Jack Wagner, or did Bat Masterson's steady hand decide the outcome? The records are as thin as the paper they're written on, and the ache of uncertainty lingers like the smell of gunpowder. As we search, we hear the faint voices of others lost to time—the gambler whose grave was moved when the railroad came through, the cowboy whose name was misspelled in the city ledger, the woman whose resting place now lies beneath a schoolhouse foundation. Each story presses the same question: when progress paves over the past, what debt do we owe to those whose bones lie beneath our feet?This is a story stitched together from brittle telegrams, faded burial ledgers, and the half-remembered tales of old-timers who still recall the sound of boots on boardwalks. We sift through the evidence—maps drawn in a surveyor's careful hand, the grainy print of a newspaper obituary, the hum of ground-penetrating radar tracing what lies beneath the sod. Ed Masterson's presence lingers, not as a specter but as a question: is a headstone merely a marker, or is it a covenant to remember those who once stood watch when the night was at its darkest? If the grave of a hero can vanish, so can the memory of any life. The task falls to us, the living, to decide how we honor the names that history nearly lets slip away.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

That ad promising “one conversation that changes everything” isn't just persuasive. It's built to find the exact place you hurt and offer fast relief. In this episode, I'm talking about why so many smart, capable women keep buying relationship courses, marriage programs, boundary scripts, and confidence resets, and still feel that same worry afterward. If you've ever finished the personal guide, tried every step, and then blamed yourself when real life came right back, I want you to hear this clearly: you did not fail. We look at what these ads are actually selling you. It's rarely the course itself. It's belonging, freedom, safety, being heard, being chosen, the exact needs you haven't even said out loud yet. And they pair that with urgency: countdown timers, “spots are filling up,” testimonials that sell a feeling more than a real process. I share a simple question that can save you a lot of money and self-blame: would I still want this if there were no urgency attached at all? Then we turn toward what actually helps. Deep relational healing isn't an information problem. A PDF can't know you, and a video series can't sit across from you and notice what's happening in your body when you talk about your marriage. Lasting change tends to happen in real connection, real conversation, and real time, with support that's built around you, not packaged for thousands. That's also why I've never run a single ad for my own work. It wouldn't be honest to promise you a shortcut when what actually helps takes real time dedicated to your lived experience. Take the free Relationship Needs Quiz: https://needs.drdarhawks.com Free conversation, just you and me: https://contact.drdarhawks.com And if any of this felt familiar, I'd love it if you'd share this episode with a friend who might need to hear it too.

The world is currently inundated with media that is often hyper-focused on, and biased against Israel despite her small size and other nations in which corruption, genocides and other atrocities are being committed. How should Christians respond to media bias against Israel? What is our moral obligation as those who treasure the Bible? In this second part of our four-part series about Israel and the Media, Jeff talks to Robert Walker of Honest Reporting Canada about why the media dodges the truth about the conflict in Israel and gets Israel wrong practically every time. #medianews #israelpalestineconflict #gaza  #truthmatters #israel Support the showIf you enjoy our podcast, please consider supporting the show HERE so that our Bible-based message about Israel can continue.

Wouldn't it be nice if we just had a list of things as a starting point?Well, you don't have to come up with that list. Jesus has already done it for you. That's what the Sermon on the Mount is all about. It's actually Jesus's gift to you, his spiritual to-do list. In fact Jesus says that when you do everything on this list, it's like building your house, your life, on a rock, a firm spiritual foundation that can withstand the storms of life.In this episode: We look at all the things Jesus says to do in the Sermon on the MountThere's a lot there!How you can put more and more of these ideas into practice in your own lifeThe strong spiritual foundation you build for your life when you doWherever you are in the process of obeying Jesus's spiritual to-do list in the Sermon on the Mount, however much you're doing or not doing, I encourage you to take a fresh look at this collection of life instructions. Accept this spiritual to-do list as your own.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, we're continuing our series of episodes exploring what concept training actually is and how it shows up in real life with your dog. We're taking the concepts you hear us talk about all the time, breaking them down, and making them practical, relatable, and easy to spot in your everyday training. This time, Lauren is joined by the brilliant Alice to explore flexibility – your dog's ability to roll with whatever life throws their way.Does your dog know exactly when dinner should arrive? Start pestering the moment walk time approaches? Pull like a train along the familiar route to the park? Or struggle when something doesn't happen quite the way they expected? Those everyday patterns can tell us a lot about flexibility – and what happens when expectations and reality don't quite match.In this episode, Lauren and Alice explore how building mental flexibility can reduce frustration, lower arousal and help dogs cope more easily when plans change. Because life does change. Walks get cancelled, holidays happen, dogs stay with other people, routines shift and sometimes the thing your dog expected simply isn't going to happen today. The more adaptable they can be, the easier those changes become.You'll also hear loads of practical ways to grow flexibility through everyday life and training. From ditching the bowl and varying your walking routes to Noise Box, changing the outcome your dog expects and taking familiar behaviours into completely different situations, Lauren and Alice share simple ways to help your dog discover that different can be absolutely fine. They even explore how flexibility can help with calm comings and goings, separation and those Christmas-morning greetings every time you walk through the door.And there's a lesson for the human end of the lead too. Sometimes helping our dogs become more flexible means looking at our own expectations, changing the picture we had in our heads and learning to work with the dog standing in front of us.Ready to help your dog become an “I can roll with it” kind of dog?

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the career, status, and success you worked so hard to build suddenly disappear?In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I sit down with Marques Ogden, a former NFL player who became a successful construction business owner before losing nearly everything. After his business collapsed and he filed for bankruptcy, Marques found himself working as a custodian for $8.25 an hour.His path back was not built on another impressive title. It began with humility, gratitude, service, and a willingness to ask for help.Today, Marques is a keynote speaker, executive coach, bestselling author, and host of Get Authentic With Marques Ogden. His career transformation offers powerful lessons for mid-career professionals who feel stuck, undervalued, dissatisfied at work, or uncertain about what comes next.Marques and I discuss what it really means to fail forward when the consequences are personal and financial. We examine the identity crisis that can follow a major career setback and the danger of tying your confidence to your job title, income, or professional status.We also explore how ego can prevent high-performing professionals from making necessary career changes. Marques explains how shifting his focus from recognition to service helped him rebuild his confidence, purpose, and career.This conversation is not only about recovering from failure. It is also about becoming a more authentic and influential leader.Marques shares practical insights about leadership communication, servant leadership, and recognizing your team's contributions. We discuss how leaders can communicate results without making every accomplishment about themselves, why “we” language can strengthen trust, and how to demonstrate your individual impact while still honoring the people who helped create the outcome.We also address authenticity in the workplace, social media comparison, values conflict, and the pressure to produce results in cultures that dismiss leadership skills as “soft skills.”If you are navigating a career change, recovering from a professional setback, questioning your current direction, or trying to become a more effective leader, this episode will help you consider what you are building your next chapter on.In this episode, we discuss:How Marques moved from NFL success to business ownership, bankruptcy, and career reinventionWhat happens to your identity when your title and professional status disappearWhy ego can keep successful professionals trapped in the wrong careerHow humility and gratitude can help you rebuild confidence after a setbackWhat it means to fail forward when the consequences are realHow to communicate team results without minimizing your own leadership contributionWhy “we” language can create trust, alignment, and stronger workplace relationshipsWhat servant leadership looks like when expectations and pressure are highHow authenticity allows you to be honest about who you are while continuing to growHow to resist social media comparison and regain control of your time and mindsetWhat to do when your personal values conflict with your workplace cultureWhy asking for help and becoming a reflective listener are signs of strengthIf you are struggling in today's job market or feeling dissatisfied with your career, remember that rebuilding does not begin with having every answer. It begins with getting honest about where you are, releasing the identity that no longer serves you, and taking responsibility for your next step.Connect with Marques Ogden:Website: https://www.marquesogden.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marquesogden/Email: marques@marquesogden.comSupport the showIf this episode resonated with you and you want more support in how you SHOW UP for your career and life, there are two ways we can work together.Learn more about my SHOW UP Leadership Lab, my monthly membership program, at https://www.johnneral.com/showupIf you would like to learn more about how I can help you as your leadership and career coach, visit https://www.johnneral.com/workwithme.Get John's free weekly leadership and career newsletter at https://www.johnneral.com/the-mid-career-gps-newsletterOther ways we can connect:Connect with John on LinkedIn here.Get John's books on Amazon here.  Follow John on Instagram @johnneralcoaching. Subscribe to John's YouTube Channel here.  Please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts here.This podcast is listed in Feedspot's Top 90 Best Executive Career Podcasts.https://podcast.feedspot.com/executive_career_podcasts/

In this episode, we look back on our 95-hole challenge on the Isle of Arran and compare it with the earlier Durness trip. We explain that Arran was more enjoyable largely because of better weather, shorter transfers, and more variety between courses, while Durness was much harder because of wind, rain, and the terrain.We go through the courses we played in order: Whiting Bay, Lamlash, Brodick, Corrie, Lochranza, Machry Bay, and Shiskin. We describe Whiting Bay as a short but very hilly and quirky course with small greens and dramatic views. Lamlash is presented as similarly hilly and scenic, with a view across to the Holy Isle and a course layout that climbs and drops throughout.We discuss Brodick as a flatter, more forgiving round that came at a good point in the day, with mountain scenery behind it and a strong morale boost for the group. Corrie is described as a hidden course with a tiny clubhouse and very steep, dramatic holes that drop through wooded terrain. Lochranza stands out as a compact 11-hole campsite course with deer on the fairways and a simple, accessible layout.We also cover Machry Bay, which we say has been kept going through a lot of effort and feels like a serious but rustic nine-holer. Finally, we talk about Shiskin as the standout course on the island: a true links with firm turf, memorable greens, and a strong finish as the sun set.Alongside the golf, we talk about the planning, the ferry crossing, the accommodation, the food stops, and the people who helped make the day work, especially Greg and Ian. We close by mentioning the charity fundraising for Arran Cancer Support and how important the donations were.

Send us Fan MailSomebody getting a scholarship should be a win for everyone, so why does it sometimes turn into the most frustrating kind of loss? We sit with a tough moment on the Rebuild Scholarship: a recipient takes the free 12-week transformation, cancels repeatedly, then disappears when it's time to finish the documentary and own the process. It's disappointing, but it's also a real-world lesson about human nature, consistency, and what people do when the pressure to follow through finally shows up.We dig into the psychology of pricing and perceived value, including why paying for coaching changes behavior and why “free” can signal “optional.” Anthony breaks down the Planet Fitness model and how low-cost memberships often work because people stop showing up, then we flip that idea on its head and talk about what actually drives fitness results, weight loss, and lifestyle change. Along the way, Anthony shares the personal backstory that fueled the scholarship in the first place: a serious neck injury, years of dead ends, and the mindset shift behind “fitness is medicine” for chronic pain, mobility, and mental health.Then we get practical. If we're going to run a scholarship again, we need a structure that protects the mission and rewards commitment. Our takeaway is simple: don't say yes unless you mean it, and if you're building a free program, add real accountability so the right person finishes strong. If this hit home, subscribe, share it with someone who needs the push, and leave a review. Where do you stand: should “free” programs come with consequences?Support the showIf you're a business owner, entrepreneur, manager, or leader trying to build a stronger team and grow your company, this episode is for you.

Every day, something is trying to disciple us. A newsfeed, a podcast clip, a political tribe, a “spiritual” take that sounds confident, or the subtle fear that somebody else has secret insight we don't. That pressure isn't new. John writes 1 John to a church in conflict after people leave the community and start teaching competing claims about God, and the result is exactly what we still feel today: doubt, agitation, and the temptation to chase every controversy. We work through 1 John 2 and talk about what real Christian discernment looks like when the world is loud. John's answer is surprisingly steady: God has not left us defenseless. We have the truth about Jesus we received from the beginning, and we have the Holy Spirit who guides us into truth. That leads to a practical question many of us have heard across a table: “I was praying and God told me to tell you…” What do we do with that? We unpack why the Spirit's ministry never competes with Christ and why spiritual experiences must stay anchored to Jesus as Lord. From there, we press into everyday formation. If Jesus is the center, what does that mean for money, relationships, power, sexuality, and politics? We share a personal story of Jesus disrupting inherited conclusions, and we lean on Paul's framework for freedom: not just “is it allowed,” but “is it beneficial,” “does it build others up,” and “is it mastering me.” If you've been wondering who or what is shaping you lately, this conversation is an invitation to return to the center. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who feels overwhelmed by competing voices, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

In this engaging episode of Business Growth Talks, host Mark Hayward sits down with Brian Hunt, an experienced entrepreneur and founder of Kore BPO, to discuss the intricacies of offshoring and global hiring. The conversation delves into the common misconceptions around offshoring, emphasizing that talent isn't typically the issue but rather the processes and management after hiring. Brian shares the lessons he learned from his time at consulting giants Deloitte and Accenture, which equipped him with unique insights to scale businesses effectively.Brian underscores the importance of having a clear strategic path for offshoring success. He elucidates the challenges and opportunities businesses face when deciding between local hiring, nearshoring, or offshoring to regions like Latin America and India. With an emphasis on understanding the “breaking points” and growth dynamics of organizations, Brian advocates for a deep internal analysis to identify key areas of improvement or investment. The discussion touches on essential skills for managing remote teams, the underestimated value of global talent, and the impacts of AI on traditional job roles, offering insights for navigating the modern business landscape.SPONSORCEO Friend: A tool for competitor analysis that aids in strategic decision-making and growth planning.

Music can be wildly intricate and still sound like the most natural thing in the world. That is the sweet spot Brooklyn-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and curator Taja Cheek, better known as L'Rain, hits. This genre defiance reaches a new high on her fourth album Fata Morgana.We get into the uncomfortable backdrop that sits behind making any art right now, and how a record can be “about the world” through the experience of living through it. Taja shares why her process is intensely intuitive, how collaborators have to trust her when she is “following a light through a dark tunnel”, and how she keeps genre from turning into a costume by staying close to the centre of her own matrix.We also talk field recordings, realness and self-awareness, including voice messages, strangers, and the intimacy of cab driver conversations. Taja's music has often been called experimental, and we dive into what this label does for an artist, where it becomes limiting, where it can also be suprisingly freeing and what it means to build a sustainable career with few obvious models, especially for women of colour making work that is hard to pin down.Lost and Sound is now fully independent, and listener support helps keep the project alive and growing.

Think about the one line of feedback that has followed you from job to job. New manager, new company, same sentence. It keeps coming back because it is not describing a weakness. It is describing your best trait, seen from the other side.Jessica and Brian look at the calm-week version of a strength: not what it does in a crisis, but what it quietly does every ordinary day. A strength works on you in three ways. It decides what you notice, it decides what you get thanked for, and it decides which skills you never had to learn.You will hear two stories from one team, a careful colleague facing a half-written brief and an easy-going one who never says no, and why neither of them was wrong. Jessica owns up to running a meeting where everyone felt heard and nothing was decided.In this episode• 0:00 The thing you are best at decides what you never see • 0:20 The spotlight, the applause and the shortcut • 3:04 Two stories from one team • 5:17 Where does your light point?The three quiet ways a strength works on youThe spotlight is what your strength makes you notice. Quick people notice delay. Careful people notice the mistake nobody else saw. People who read the room notice who went quiet. Everything outside that light goes dark, and it is not carelessness. It is where the light points.The applause is what you get thanked for. Fix it fast, catch the error, smooth the tension, and people say thanks, so you reach for the same tool again. Nobody asks you to stop doing the thing you are best at, so nobody tells you when it starts costing the team something.The shortcut is the skill your strength let you skip. The confident talker never had to prepare. The organised one never had to improvise. The easy one never had to say no. It costs nothing for years, until one role needs exactly that skill.Try this this week1. Before any decision that matters, ask: what would I miss? Then ask the one colleague whose strength points somewhere else. 2. Once, in something low stakes, practise the skill you skipped. Prepare the talk you would normally wing. Say no to one favour. Send the rough version first. 3. Ask one colleague: what do I do that you have to work around? Then just listen.Go deeperWhich way your light points follows a pattern.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Conscious Classroom, Amy Edelstein reflects on the role of awe and wonder in learning and how it's incumbent on us--the educators--to teach in a way that evokes that sense of being moved with what we teach, why we want our students to learn it, and what we define as the markers of successful learner. Learning for mere information or test-taking ends up primarily being transactional--not transformational. That's also one of the issues with the use of AI--information without the learned and transformative impact of engaging with the learning process. It smooths out our thought process, homogenizing, and flattening out the creative wrinkles which are the most interesting thing. This is an episode you'll want to listen to and share with a friend. Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode please leave a review!

A request to stop passing gas in bed somehow became the starting point for a Florida domestic-violence case.In this episode, we take a closer look at the case of 32-year-old Anthony Gordon, who is accused of strangling his 45-year-old girlfriend during an argument at their home. According to the arrest affidavit, the dispute began after she asked him not to fart in bed. Police say the confrontation escalated after she spit at Gordon, and that he then grabbed her by the throat and pulled her from the bed.The alleged attack ended when the woman bit Gordon's finger and was able to get away. She later reported the incident to police and provided investigators with a recording of a conversation in which the two discussed what happened.The allegations discussed in this episode have not been proven in court. This Week's Featured Hashtag: #TheBestCheeseburgersAreOther Interesting ThingsNational Domestic Violence HotlineMore information on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)How are Police Really Using FLOCK Cameras?FLOCK Cameras: Myths vs. Facts Classic Popeye: Popeye and the GiantSend a text to The Ebone Zone!

Send us Fan MailOn the edge of the prairie, where the wind could strip paint from a fence post and the sun baked the grass to brittle straw, a limestone mansion rose in defiance. Its walls, quarried by hand and mortared with ambition, promised permanence in a land that devoured dreams. Inside, John Mueller's fortunes climbed with each black walnut step, the staircase polished by boots that tracked in the dust of cattle drives and the scent of imported cigars. But the winter of 1886, the White Death, arrived with a cold so deep it cracked the water pails and silenced the herds. Beneath the weight of ice, the house became a reliquary of loss. Caroline moved through rooms that echoed with absence—a nursery where the fire never caught, a rocking chair that creaked in the stillness, and a hush that pressed against the glass, as if a child's breath lingered just out of sight.When the Schmidts arrived, the house inhaled a new century. Electric bulbs flickered where oil lamps once smoked the ceilings, and the kitchen filled with the yeasty warmth of bread rising before dawn. Children's laughter ricocheted off stone walls that had known only silence. Then, one afternoon, a neighbor's boy tumbled down the walnut staircase, his cry sharp as a winter wind. He insisted another child had pushed him—though no living child stood nearby. Elizabeth Schmidt, undeterred, turned to the brittle pages of county ledgers, tracing the inked names of the Muellers and the unmarked graves that census takers never tallied. In the wavering lamplight, her daughter Elma glimpsed a pale boy at the nursery door, his finger pressed to his chest, then pointing outward across the prairie—a silent plea that needed no voice.The house did not yield to exorcism or bravado. Instead, it responded to remembrance. In the cool, earthen basement, Elizabeth found a trunk marked with initials dulled by time. Inside, a child's wooden horse, its paint worn smooth by small, restless fingers. She set it on the parlor mantel, above the coal grate where the family gathered on winter nights. The air shifted. The cold that haunted the nursery receded, and the doors no longer rattled in the night. What lingered felt less like a haunting and more like a watchful presence. Over the years, the Home of Stone became more than a monument to Dodge City's wild days. It stood as a testament to the quiet endurance of pioneer mothers and the small, daily acts that knit a wounded place back together.If this story moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves haunted history, and leave a review telling us the object you'd place on your mantel to honor a forgotten story.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included. 

Survivor 51 opens its Open Era by going back to 2000: a marooning off a boat, Jeff Probst repeating his Season 1 speech word for word, Exile Island, and a straight-up hidden immunity idol with no "beware" attached. Frank and Shirley break down "Permanent Uncertainty," from Lewis Kelly's brutal mast-chopping attempt to Brady Booker flipping the first vote out from under Devin Way.They size up the new castaways against their preseason reads, including Kilby, who learned to swim two months before filming from a Reddit stranger paid in beer. The conversation gets into the return to two tribes of ten, why Jenna Doore became a target for staying guarded while going through a divorce, and how the Helicopter Alliance lost a member at the first Tribal Council. Frank also shares highlights from Jeff Probst's New York Times Popcast interview, and both hosts name their early winner picks.Chapters0:00 First Impressions of the Survivor 51 Cast3:59 The Marooning and Lewis Volunteers for the Journey9:50 Two Tribes of Ten and the Supply Negotiation13:28 Camp Life, Jenna Under Fire, and Lewis on Exile Island23:02 Jeff's Fire-Making Poll and the Rolling Million-Dollar Coin Flip26:59 The First Immunity Challenge31:46 Yellow Tribe Scrambles and Tribal Council39:18 Next Week, Jeff Probst on Popcast, and Early Winner PicksKey TakeawaysThe Open Era premiere borrows heavily from Survivor's early seasons. Rob Antonson finds a classic hidden immunity idol, and Exile Island is back.Frank and Shirley both like the return to two tribes. With three smaller tribes, one losing tribe tends to get wiped out, and the strategy of surviving the worst tribe to become the merge swing vote was getting too predictable.Lewis failed to chop down the mast in time for an idol, even with blistered hands and after throwing up. Frank points to moments like this as proof the show isn't scripted, since a win would have made better TV.Jenna told the cameras about her divorce but not her tribe. Shirley wanted her to share it at Tribal; Frank argues that telling the people you live with every day is a different thing than telling the camera.Brady rallied the votes against Aaliyah Puglia, who went home 5-2 after she and Jenna both came up empty on their Shot in the Dark. Devin now has to repair things with Brady.Every season will now include a coin flip for an extra million dollars, and any unwon money rolls into the next season. Frank has one request for the coin: Rick Devens' face.Quotes"I swear, this was aimed exactly at Frank from Outlast Podcast." (Frank, on Jeff asking who actually wants to make fire)"What actually happened just sucks, and it's real." (Frank, on Lewis falling short on Exile Island)"I hate when people don't come prepared.

This weeks sponsors: Better Plants See special offer here https://betterplants.ie/product/seaweed-soil-conditioner-2-x-10kg-buckets-special-offer/Bats are flying over our gardens every night, doing a job most of us never see, and too many people still think they are blind, dangerous, or somehow “out to get you”. We sit down with Dr Niamh Roche, Senior Project Manager at Bat Conservation Ireland, to clear up the biggest bat misconceptions and replace them with the real story: bats are mammals built for precision flight, their wings are shaped like hands, and their echolocation is so advanced they can navigate and hunt tiny insects in near darkness.We get into what Irish bats actually do for gardeners, growers, and biodiversity. From pipistrelles roosting in buildings to brown long-eared bats that can hover and pick insects off leaves, different species fill different niches. Neve explains why bats matter as a form of natural pest control, how exclusion studies in orchards and crops show significant increases in insect damage when bats are kept out, and why bat activity is often a sign of good environmental quality.We also talk practical “gardening for bats” that you can start straight away: mowing less often, leaving patches of longer grass, accepting nettles and other native plants, and creating small messy corners that boost insect biomass. On the conservation side, Neve breaks down how Bat Conservation Ireland monitors bat populations with volunteers using bat detectors, car-based routes, waterway surveys, and roost counts, plus the resources you can use to learn more, including training and education materials. Subscribe, share this with a gardening friend, and leave a review so more people find the facts about bats and start making space for wildlife.For more information on Bat Conservation Ireland click the link below:https://www.batconservationireland.orgSupport the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

We speak with Alex Buckner about his work as a short game coach and how he got into coaching after starting golf seriously in his teens. He explains that he reached scratch as a junior, later moved into work and training, and eventually focused on coaching after realizing that specializing in short game was the clearest path for him.We discuss how he built his approach during his time at Swinley Forest, especially through COVID, when he gathered a large amount of information from courses, books, online resources, and conversations with other coaches. He describes sorting through that material, simplifying it, and turning it into a clear system he could present to players.We also talk about his early work with Richard Mansell, which led to more tour coaching and a wider role beyond short game. He explains that his work developed into performance planning and accountability, and that his first major was at St George's during the COVID year, followed by more tournament experience under stricter conditions at other events.A major theme is his philosophy on short game. He says it is about adapting body positions, club delivery, and shot selection to the lie, surface, and target rather than following one fixed technique. He stresses that low point control is essential, then distance control, and then the ability to adjust angle of attack and loft for different situations.We also cover bounce, grind, and wedge fitting. He explains that bounce must match both the player's low point and the turf conditions, and that the right wedge setup depends on how a player naturally strikes the ball. He adds that ball selection also matters, and says fitting should begin around the green before moving to longer clubs.Finally, Alex talks about his plans for the future, including building his academy in North London, expanding into Asia, and raising coaching standards. He says he wants players to arrive with clear questions and take more responsibility for understanding what is costing them shots.

What do you do when your five-year-old won't stop hitting? Your three-year-old keeps biting? Or your older kid has discovered that getting their younger sibling in trouble is apparently the funniest thing on earth?For episode 100, I'm doing something different.I'm bringing you directly into one of my live Parent Lab group coaching calls: real parents, real problems, and my real-time answers.We talk about why a child who knows not to bite may keep doing it anyway, what to do when one sibling deliberately pushes another sibling's buttons, why hitting can sometimes be a sign that a child needs a healthier way to experience power and autonomy, and how to respond when sibling teasing finally ends with yogurt smeared across the kitchen.But underneath all of these questions is one bigger idea:Your kids are not competitors. They're teammates.The goal isn't just to stop the hitting, biting, teasing, and fighting today. It's to build the kind of sibling relationship where, decades from now, your kids still know: We're on the same team.This is parenting advice for what happens in actual homes, not hypotheticals.Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf parenting has felt hard lately… you don't have to figure it out alone.Inside The Parent Lab, I'll help you understand what's actually going on underneath your child's behavior — and give you simple, in-the-moment tools that actually work in real life.You'll get access to my full course library, live coaching calls with me, practical workshops, and our 21-Day Sibling Challenge designed to help reduce the fighting and build better relationships between your kids.If you want support, tools, and a clear plan instead of just guessing your way through parenting… come join us inside The Parent Lab.CLICK HERE to Try the Parent Lab TodayOther Links to help you and me:Get Jon's Book Punishment-Free Parenting Preorder Jon's Children's Book Set My Feelings FreeFollow Whole Parent on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook,...

But something we haven't looked into yet: not all of our beliefs are conscious.Your conscious mind is the part of your mental activity you're aware of. It's the part you're using to make decisions, solve problems and deliberately choose what you want.But underneath that, your brain is constantly processing information, learning patterns and responding to experiences outside of your conscious awareness.You can consciously believe:“I'm confident”, “I deserve success”, “I don't care what people think” or “I'm ready to put myself out there”, and still find yourself repeatedly holding back, procrastinating, people-pleasing, or avoiding the very things you say you want.Sometimes there's a deeper pattern underneath the conscious belief.Support the showIf anything in this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.

388 – Yes! You are the light of the world.One of Jesus's most famous sayings is something he said in his Sermon on the Mount: You are the light of the world.You've probably heard this hundreds of times. But this was a startling statement to his listeners. No one had ever referred to them that way before. The so-called religious authorities of the day were pretty judgmental of people and definitely didn't see everyone as the light of the world.But Jesus said to everyone there, and not just some of them: You are the light of the world. To the righteous, as well as hardened sinners, and everyone in between, Jesus declared: You are the light of the world.In this week's episode:These words of Jesus are still true for you and me todayWhy letting your light shine is so importantHow letting your light shine blesses you and othersThe contrast between when Jesus says to do some things privately and some things to be seen by othersHow Jesus can be the light of the world and we can all at the same timeJesus knows you are the light. He knows what you are capable of. He expects us to follow his example and let our light shine out into the whole world individually and collectively, to bring hope and healing.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For the full transcript and all Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/388Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, Lauren is joined by Michelle for a slightly different conversation – all about food, healthy habits and some of the choices they've made to help themselves feel better day to day.Because when life is busy, eating well can very easily become another thing on the to-do list. You're hungry, you're short on time, and suddenly whatever is quickest and easiest wins.So Lauren and Michelle are getting practical about how they make the healthier option the convenient option too.From keeping boiled eggs and fresh fruit ready to grab, to frozen fruit, smoothies, cauliflower rice, quick soups and a LOT of enthusiastic guacamole chat, they share the foods and little bits of preparation that help them eat well without spending their lives in the kitchen.They also talk about flexibility. Eating well day to day doesn't mean never having the pizza you really fancy when you're out with friends. It's about finding choices and habits that work for your life – and noticing how you feel along the way.And, of course, there's a dog-training connection too. Lauren and Michelle both notice the difference when they feel well fuelled, energised and ready to take on the day – whether they're training dogs, competing, travelling or simply keeping up with everything life throws at them.If this conversation leaves you feeling inspired to give your own food habits a little attention, Lauren and Michelle also share more about the upcoming Health Retreat, where you can join them in person or online for a week of food, learning, cooking and plenty of ideas to take home with you.Have a listen – and perhaps make your shopping list as you go.

Send us Fan MailFeeling stuck in your mid-career is not a character flaw. It may not even be an information problem.If you are dissatisfied with your job, struggling in the current job market, or uncertain about your next career move, your instinct may be to gather more information. You read another book, listen to another podcast, research another opportunity, or give yourself one more weekend to think about what you want.That can feel responsible. But sometimes, gathering more information is simply analysis paralysis disguised as preparation.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I explain why smart, capable, and experienced professionals often delay the actions that could improve their careers. At mid-career, you have more to protect, including your reputation, professional identity, income, and responsibilities. That can make speaking up, networking, pursuing a promotion, or starting a job search feel riskier than continuing to research your options.I also explain the important difference between clarity and certainty. You do not need to feel 100 percent certain before taking your next step. In many cases, career clarity only emerges after you take action and learn from the result.I will walk you through a practical career-growth framework: Insight leads to action. Action creates feedback. Feedback drives adjustment. Adjustment leads to your next action.This cycle can help you make better career decisions, strengthen your leadership presence, increase your visibility, and regain momentum without making a reckless career move.I will also challenge you to identify one small career experiment you can complete within the next seven days. That experiment could involve contacting someone in your network, requesting feedback, exploring a new role, speaking with your manager, or making your professional value more visible to decision-makers.Small, intentional actions can give you better career information than weeks of overthinking.In This Episode, You Will LearnHow to define what feeling stuck means in your career right nowWhy collecting more career advice may be keeping you from moving forwardHow analysis paralysis becomes socially acceptable procrastinationWhy mid-career professionals often delay important career decisionsThe difference between career clarity and complete certaintyHow to take action when you are concerned about your reputation, identity, or paycheckA repeatable framework for turning insight into career momentumHow to run a seven-day career experiment that produces useful feedbackWhy visibility matters when you want a promotion or greater leadership influenceHow to help decision-makers recognize your value and readiness for advancementIf you are unhappy at work, feeling overlooked for promotions, navigating a difficult job market, or questioning what you want from the next chapter of your career, this episode will help you stop waiting for perfect clarity and begin creating meaningful progress.Take the Next StepIf you are ready to increase your visibility, strengthen your influence, and create more career momentum, register for my free webinar, Stop Waiting to Be Noticed.

For centuries, we've treated mathematics, logic, and analytical reasoning as some of the highest expressions of human intelligence.Then AI came along, and started automating them first.In this episode, I argue that this isn't a coincidence. Mathematics and computer programming are unusually closed, symbolic, rules-based forms of thought. They can be extraordinarily powerful, but the very properties that make them precise also make them particularly amenable to machines.Meanwhile, many of the things we traditionally dismiss as “soft” such as intuition, abstraction, analogy, deciding what matters, navigating complexity, and connecting ideas across domains, must represent a deeper kind of intelligence. And AI proves it. In this episode:• Why math and coding are being automated so quickly• Why symbolic reasoning is fundamentally different from navigating complexity• What AI reveals about IQ and analytical intelligence• Why the mathematician and programmer of the future may need a completely different skill set• What humans should be doing when machines can manipulate the symbols for usAI didn't just automate some of our smartest work. It forces us to reconsider what “smart” meant in the first place.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode and want to go deeper, come find me over at dekyon.io/seanmcclure/nontrivialWith a premium membership you get the full NonTrivial learning experience: interactive visualizations of the key concepts, a study space to learn the fundamentals behind each episode, and an "Ask an Episode" feature where you can dialogue with an AI about the details and start connecting ideas across the whole show.

Following your passion doesn't mean finding a job that perfectly matches it. Your passion should be the generator: the thing that builds your skills, produces ideas, and makes you unusually good at what you do.In this episode, I explain why you should protect your passion from the market, keep creating, and let the overlap with the economy emerge naturally. Then build a commercial arm around what the market actually values.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode and want to go deeper, come find me over at dekyon.io/seanmcclure/nontrivialWith a premium membership you get the full NonTrivial learning experience: interactive visualizations of the key concepts, a study space to learn the fundamentals behind each episode, and an "Ask an Episode" feature where you can dialogue with an AI about the details and start connecting ideas across the whole show.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Riley Black Project, John and Crystal sit down for a solo life and business update after a wild stretch of travel, trade shows, content work, and real-life chaos.We talk about Next Level Maker Conference, the validation that comes from seeing your community in person, and why events like this matter so much for makers, laser owners, creators, and small business owners. Online comments are great, but hearing people say “we see what you're doing” face-to-face hits different.From there, we recap our last-minute trip to UV Energize in Nashville, why we decided we needed to be in the room, and how showing up in person created real opportunities for Riley Black Studios. We talk about trade show content, vendor outreach, why emails get missed, why face-to-face conversations still matter, and how we ended up working with Mimaki USA on product overview videos for two newly launched machines.We also get into testing live stream coverage at events, filming machine launches, working alongside marketing teams, the chaos of shooting on a busy show floor, and why trade shows are such a huge opportunity for brands to create content that keeps working long after the event is over.Fair warning, the second half of this episode gets more personal. We talk about some heavier life stuff because that has been part of our reality lately too. One of the goals of this podcast has always been to remind people that they are not alone, whether you are building a business, running a laser, raising a family, grieving, struggling, growing, or trying to do all of it at the same time.

We're living through a crisis of trust.Trust in institutions. Trust in business. Trust in media. Trust in government. Even trust in one another. According to the latest Edelman Trust Barometer, only 54% of Americans trust business to do what is right. Just 44% trust the media. And only 39% trust government.But perhaps the more troubling number is that 70% of people say they are hesitant or unwilling to trust someone who is different from them. So what happens when we stop trusting our institutions and increasingly, one another?How do you build trust in an environment where skepticism has become the default?That's what we explore in this episode with Amy Weisenbach, Chief Marketing Officer of The New York Times, and VEST Member Michelle Brobston, Chief Operations Officer at Hunger Free Oklahoma.Amy has spent nearly a decade thinking about this question from inside one of the most scrutinized institutions in the world. And what she's learned about trust applies far beyond media.Whether you're building a brand, leading a team, stepping into a new role, or simply trying to figure out who and what deserves your trust, this conversation will make you think differently about how trust is earned.For our guests full bio and show notes click here.Support the showIf you enjoy the episode share it with a friend, leave us a review and don't forget to hit the subscribe button.
