Podcasts about smartphones

We've lived through technology revolutions before. Personal computers. The Internet. Smartphones. Social media. Each felt transformative at the time, reshaping how we work and communicate. But something fundamentally different is happening now. AI learns from every interaction and improves with each release. Yet the signals are confusing. Some pilots are failing, and the hype levels are off the scale. Meanwhile, some companies are reporting the potential for hundreds of millions in savings, capability benchmarks are doubling every seven months, and entire organizational structures are being reimagined around human-AI collaboration. So how do employers cut through the noise and prepare for such a fundamental shift? My guest this week is Michael Tchong, a futurist and founder of Ubertrends Academy. In our conversation, Michael explains what makes this revolution different, how to spot true long-term trends beyond the hype, and shares practical strategies for navigating the transformation ahead. In the interview, we discuss: Are we prepared for the coming disruption? Signals and Uber trends Why AI is unlike past revolutions Separating the hype from the real transformation signals Early adopters versus mainstream users Building hybrid human-AI organizations The coming wave of job displacement Practical upskilling strategies you need to implement Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Richard Easton, co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones, about the remarkable history behind the Global Positioning System and its ripple effects on technology, secrecy, and innovation. They trace the story from Roger Easton's early work on time navigation and atomic clocks to the 1973 approval of the GPS program, the Cold War's influence on satellite development, and how civilian and military interests shaped its evolution. The conversation also explores selective availability, the Gulf War, and how GPS paved the way for modern mapping tools like Google Maps and Waze, as well as broader questions about information, transparency, and the future of scientific innovation.

Richard Easton explains that the Navy and Air Force each had different ideas for navigation satellites in the 1960s. The Navy wanted mid-Earth orbits with autonomous atomic clocks, while the Air Force preferred ground-controlled repeaters in geostationary orbit. The eventual compromise in 1973 created the modern GPS structure—24 satellites in six constellations—which balanced accuracy, independence, and resilience.Atomic clocks made global navigation possible. Roger Easton's early insight was that improving atomic clock precision would one day enable real-time positioning. The hydrogen maser, developed in 1960, became the breakthrough technology that made GPS feasible. This innovation turned a theoretical idea into a working global system and also advanced timekeeping for scientific and financial applications.Civilian access to GPS was always intended. Contrary to popular belief, GPS wasn't a military secret turned public after the Korean airliner tragedy in 1983. Civilian receivers, such as TI's 4100 model, were already available in 1981. Reagan's 1983 announcement merely reaffirmed an existing policy that GPS would serve both military and civilian users.The Gulf War proved GPS's strategic value. During the 1991 conflict, U.S. and coalition forces used mostly civilian receivers after the Pentagon lifted “selective availability,” which intentionally degraded accuracy. GPS allowed troops to coordinate movement and strikes even during sandstorms, changing modern warfare.Secrecy and innovation were deeply intertwined. Easton recounts how classified projects like GRAB and POPPY—satellites disguised as scientific missions—laid technical groundwork for navigation systems. The crossover between secret defense projects and public science fueled breakthroughs but also obscured credit and understanding.Ending selective availability unleashed global applications. When the distortion feature was turned off in May 2000, GPS accuracy improved instantly, leading to new industries—geocaching, precision agriculture, logistics, and smartphone navigation. This marked GPS's shift from a defense tool to an everyday utility.Innovation's future may rely on decentralization. Reflecting on his father's era and today's landscape, Easton argues that bureaucratic “big science” has grown sluggish. He sees promise in smaller, independent innovators—helped by AI, cheaper satellites, and private space ventures like SpaceX—continuing the cycle of technological transformation that GPS began.

Ob Mikrochips für die Autoindustrie oder begehrte Rohstoffe: Im globalen Handelskrieg spielt China seine Macht gerade brutal aus. Erst die Ausfuhrbeschränkungen für Seltene Erden, jetzt der Lieferstopp von Mikrochips. Das sorgt bei der deutschen Industrie für Panik. Denn ohne Seltene Erden lassen sich weder Smartphones noch Computer bauen, und ohne den begehrten Chip des Unternehmens Nexperia keine Autos. Die Abhängigkeit von China ist lange bekannt, jetzt zeigt sie sich in ihrer ganzen Dimension. Was bedeutet das für unsere Wirtschaft, unseren Wohlstand, unser Leben? Hat China uns tatsächlich in der Hand? Oder gibt es immer noch Wege heraus aus der Abhängigkeit? Gregor Papsch diskutiert mit Sonja Álvarez – Journalistin und stellv. Leiterin Politik bei der Wirtschaftswoche; Michael Reckordt – Rohstoffexperte bei der NGO PowerShift, Berlin; Wolfgang Weber – CEO beim Verband der Elektro- und Digitalindustrie (ZVEI), Frankfurt a.M.

Dneska tu máme další novinkový díl, tentokrát si povíme o nové hrozbě jménem quishing a jak se proti tomu bránit. Řekneme si ale také o Honor Robot Phone, telefonu s gimbalem a o tom, že nám Instagram mění prostředí. Nezapomeneme nakonec i na jednu Apple novinku.

In dieser Episode spreche ich darüber, was echte Veränderung im Alltag möglich macht – und warum es nicht darum geht, mehr zu tun, sondern die richtigen Dinge bewusster zu tun. Du erfährst, wie neue Gewohnheiten wirklich entstehen, warum kleine Schritte den größten Unterschied machen und wie du lernst, dich nicht mehr vom Außen ablenken zu lassen, sondern dich wieder mit dir selbst zu verbinden

In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge habe ich mit Michael Zintl gesprochen, Geschäftsführer der DZG Metering GmbH aus Regensburg. Michael kommt ursprünglich aus der Automobilbranche, war viele Jahre bei Continental tätig und verantwortete dort den Bereich Sensorik. Seit zwei Jahren leitet er die DZG Metering, ein Unternehmen mit über 100 Jahren Erfahrung im Haushaltszählergeschäft, das sich seit 2020 erfolgreich auf eichrechtskonforme Messsysteme für Ladeinfrastruktur spezialisiert hat. Im Gespräch ging es um ein Thema, das für viele E-Auto-Fahrer:innen unsichtbar, aber essenziell ist: das Eichrecht. Dahinter steckt die Sicherstellung, dass beim Laden exakt die Energiemenge abgerechnet wird, die auch wirklich im Akku landet. Michael erklärte es einfach: „Der Endkunde möchte genau die Energiemenge bezahlen, die er tatsächlich erhalten hat – dafür ist der Stromzähler da.“ Die Geräte sorgen für Verbraucherschutz, Manipulationssicherheit und Markttransparenz. Jede Ladesäule, die in Deutschland betrieben wird, muss mit einem solchen eichrechtskonformen Zähler ausgestattet sein. Besonders spannend fand ich, dass es für den DC-Bereich (Schnellladen) anfangs gar keine Normen gab. DZG Metering entwickelte in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt (PTB) den ersten zugelassenen DC-Zähler – eine echte Pionierarbeit. Heute liefern sie unter anderem an große Hersteller wie Alpitronic, ABB und Kempower. Das Unternehmen bietet Zähler in verschiedenen Leistungsklassen an, von 200 kW bis hin zu über zwei MW, also auch für das Megawatt-Laden der Zukunft. Ein weiterer Punkt war die technische Weiterentwicklung: Durch das sogenannte Shunt-Prinzip erreicht DZG besonders präzise Messwerte mit einer Genauigkeit von maximal 0,5 Prozent Abeichung – aktuell ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Auch das Thema Transparenz wurde diskutiert: Das Open Charge Metering Format (OCMF) ermöglicht, dass jeder Ladevorgang digital nachvollzogen werden kann, vergleichbar mit einem digitalen Kassenbon. Michael betonte: „So kann der Endverbraucher genau prüfen, dass er nur das bezahlt, was er bekommen hat.“ Natürlich sprachen wir auch über Herausforderungen. Eine Nachrüstung alter Ladesäulen mit neuen, eichrechtskonformen Zählern ist komplex und kaum ohne Zulassungsverfahren möglich. Gleichzeitig gibt es politischen Druck, die Ladeinfrastruktur nicht auszubremsen. Michael brachte es auf den Punkt: Die Behörden wollen stärker prüfen, aber niemand will funktionierende Ladepunkte zurückbauen. Zum Schluss warfen wir noch einen Blick in die Zukunft. Michael wünscht sich pragmatischere Regelungen, etwa den Wegfall des physischen Displays am Zähler zugunsten moderner, digitaler Lösungen. „Nicht jeder braucht ein Display – oft wäre es effizienter, über Smartphone oder Bluetooth zu prüfen“, sagte er. Die neue MID-Richtlinie, die in zwei Jahren greifen soll, könnte genau das ermöglichen. Nun aber genug der Vorrede – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch mit Michael Zintl einsteigen.

As debates continue to rage regarding the effects of smartphones on the physical, spiritual, emotional, relational, and cognitive health of our kids, we need to exercise caution. One caution is this: Don't put a smartphone in the hands of a young child. In fact, we need to be cautious about doing the same with our older kids, with many experts saying that we should wait to do so until the age of sixteen at the earliest. Listen to this first-person testimony from Matthew Gasda that was published in a Brooklyn-based underground magazine: “I'm aware that my flip phone is holding the line for me. That if I bought a new iPhone, I would spiral into levels of depravity and stupidity, hitherto unknown, in that over time, I would lose even the ability to be aware of this, and that is really the danger of the smartphone. You stop being aware of what you could have been. You lose the mythic hope of being a fully-fledged human being, and you start to crave submission to the digital Oversoul.”

In this unfiltered episode of Rich Conversations, Rich sits down with Cousin Frank in the farm shed for a raw, late-night talk about life, purpose, and what it means to live well. The two dive into perfectionism—when it helps, when it holds us back—and how society's obsession with comfort and convenience has dulled our sense of purpose. They explore topics like smartphones, discipline, consumer culture, and the quiet wisdom of “old timers.” From reflections on family and legacy to the loneliness of modern life, this episode blends humor, honesty, and philosophy in equal measure. Recorded by lantern light, it's a reminder that the best conversations don't need polish—they just need presence.

Das menschliche Denken ermöglicht technischen Fortschritt. Doch nun fordern Smartphones, Internet und Soziale Medien unsere Denkfähigkeit heraus. Wie sie unser Denken beeinflussen – darüber spricht der Neurowissenschaftler Henning Beck mit Moderator Tobi Schäfer. Von WDR 5.

This week we talk about entanglements, monopolies, and illusory money.We also discuss electrification, LLMs, and data centers.Recommended Book: The Extinction of Experience by Christine RosenTranscriptOne of the big claims about artificial intelligence technologies, including but not limited to LLM-based generative AI tech, like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, is that they will serve as universal amplifiers.Electricity is another universal amplifier, in that electrifying systems allows you to get a lot more from pretty much every single thing you do, while also allowing for the creation of entirely new systems.Cooking things in the kitchen? Much easier with electricity. Producing things on an assembly line? The introduction of electricity allows you to introduce all sorts of robotics, measuring tools, and safety measures that would not have otherwise been available, and all of these things make the entire process safer, cheaper, and a heck of a lot more effective and efficient.The prime argument behind many sky-high AI company valuations, then, is that if these things evolve in the way they could evolve, becoming increasingly capable and versatile and cheap, cooking could become even easier, manufacturing could become still faster, cheaper, and safer, and every other aspect of society and the economy would see similar gains.If you're the people making AI, if you own these tools, or a share of the income derived from them, that's a potentially huge pot of money: a big return on your investment. People make fortunes off far more focused, less-impactful companies and technologies all the time, and being able to create the next big thing in not just one space, but every space? Every aspect of everything, potentially? That's like owning a share of electricity, and making money every time anyone uses electricity for anything.Through that lens, the big boom in both use of and investment in AI technologies maybe shouldn't be so surprising. This represents a potentially generational sea-change in how everything works, what the economy looks like, maybe even how governments are run, militaries fight, and so on. If you can throw money into the mix, why wouldn't you? And if that's the case, the billions upon billions of dollars sloshing around in this corner of the tech world make a lot of sense; it may be curious that there's not even more money being invested.Belief in that promise is not universal, however.A lot of people see these technologies not as the next electricity, but maybe the next smartphone, or perhaps the next SUV.Smartphones changed a whole lot about society too, but they're hardly the same groundbreaking, omni-powerful upgrade that electricity represents.SUVs, too, flogged sales for flailing car companies, boosting their revenues at a moment in which they desperately needed to sell more vehicles to survive. But they were just another, more popular model of what already came before. There's a chance AI will be similar to that: better software than came before, for some people's use-cases—but not revolutionary, not groundbreaking even on the scale of pocketable phone-computers.What I'd like to talk about today are the peculiar economics that seem to be playing a role in the AI boom, and why many analysts and financial experts are eyeballing these economics warily, worrying about what they maybe represent, and possibly portend.—The term ‘exuberance,' in the context of markets, refers to an excitement among investors—sometimes professional investors, sometimes casual investors, sometimes both—about a particular company, technology, or financial product type.The surge in interest and investment in cryptoassets during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, including offshoot products like NFTs, was seemingly caused by a period of exuberance, sparked by the novelty of the product, the riches a few lucky insiders made off these products, and the desire by many people—pros and consumer-grade investors—to get in on that action, at a moment in which there wasn't as much to do in the world as usual.Likewise, the gobs of money plowed into early internet companies, and the money thrown at companies laying fiberoptic cable for the presumed boom in internet customers, were, in retrospect, at least partly the consequence of irrational exuberance.In some cases these investors were just too early, as was the case with those cable-laying companies—the majority of them going out of business after blowing through a spectacular amount of money in a short period of time, and not finding enough paying customers to fund all that expansion—in others it was the result of sky-high valuations that were based on little beyond the exuberance of investors who probably should have known better, but who couldn't get past their fear of missing out on the next big thing.In that latter case, that flow of money into early dotcom startups did fund a few winners that survived the eventual bursting of that bubble, but the majority of companies tagged with those massive valuations went out of business in part because their valuations were based in part on optimism, hot air, and illusory financials.Which is to say, their financials were based on a lot of money being added to their account sheets and tallied in the places investors would see those numbers, but the numbers didn't mean what most people thought they meant.A company could receive tens of millions of dollars in orders, for instance, but that money and those orders might never be received and fulfilled, or that money might be mostly illusory: maybe it was borrowed from another company to spend on advertising, and that money would then go right back out the door, to the company from which it was borrowed, to pay for their ad services.That kind of arrangement could be beneficial, as the company doing the borrowing might give up a relatively small number of shares in exchange for money, which looks good on its balance sheet, especially if the money is given at a high valuation, even if that money was mostly just a loan from a company providing ad services, with the full knowledge that money would then be spent on their own ad services. And the ad company giving the money could usually afford to buy in at a high valuation, because it knows it will get that money right back, and when it does, it will get to record that money as income on its own balance sheets.So Company A gets millions of dollars from Company B, that money is then paid to Company B for some type of service, and both companies get to record favorable figures on their accounting sheets, as if real sales took place and real outside money changed hands, despite it being a circular move, with very little or no actual value being created.These sorts of relationships are also often good for investors in companies that do this sort of thing, because it makes their investments, the companies they've bought into, look even more valuable.Check it out, Company A, which I own shares in, is worth more than it was last month because of all the business it's conducting, and because this other company bought into it at a higher price per share than I paid! Even though that increase in valuation is predicated on circular financing, the numbers still go up, and they go up for everyone involved, so there's little reason to crack down on this not illegal, but shady behavior, and even less reason to want anyone else to know about it, because then they might not add their own money to the circular money-cycling, number-increasing machine.The major concern amongst some analysts right now is that the AI boom, especially in the United States, might be essentially this kind of circular cycle, but much larger than previous versions of the same.In the US right now, investment in AI infrastructure like data centers accounts for a huge portion of overall growth—the numbers vary, depending on who you ask and what numbers they look at, but some say that about 90% of total US economic growth, and around 80% of US stock market growth, are predicated on these sorts of investments this past year. Without these investments, the US economy would be basically flat, or worse, and the US stock market would be flailing as well.This situation isn't ideal whatever the specifics, as too much reliance on just one industry, or one small collection of industries dominated by just a handful of companies and their investors, makes for a precarious financial foundation.If anything goes wrong with just one company, the whole house of cards could collapse. And if anything goes wrong with the industry, things could get even worse, and fast. All that investment, all that construction, all those employees and all that money sloshing around could disappear, could stop being spent, could make all those numbers fall and fall and fall more or less overnight.If this industry is in fact in a bubble, and if it's being propped up by this kind of circular financing, where companies are fluffing up their own and each other's accounting books by rotating the same bundle of money and on-paper money from company to company to company, that would portend pretty bad things for the US economy and market, if anyone involved stumbles, even just a little.This is why recent deals between the biggest players in this space are raising so many eyebrows, and causing so much sweat to bead on so many foreheads.In September of 2025, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI announced it had formalized a $100 billion investment deal with AI chipmaker Nvidia, the latter expanding on its existing investment in the former. In October, OpenAI announced it was purchasing billions of dollars worth of AI hardware from Nvidia-rival AMD, and that it's taking a 10% stake in the company.Microsoft is already heavily invested in OpenAI, to the tune of $13 billion; it takes 49% of OpenAI's profits, and gets more than that until its original investment is paid back. Microsoft also accounted for nearly 20% of Nvidia's annualized revenue, as of the fourth quarter of 2025.Oracle, another computing company which has become hugely influential in this space due to its investment in cloud-based AI datacenters, has a $300 billion deal with OpenAI for future infrastructure buildouts and access, and OpenAI's Stargate datacenter project was co-funded by Oracle and SoftBank. Nvidia also owns part of CoreWeave, which is an AI infrastructure supplier for OpenAI, and which has Microsoft as a massively important customer.All of which is very…tangly. It's an interconnected mess, and OpenAI and Nvidia are at the center of it, but there are a lot of weak spots, threads that, if pulled, would cause the whole thing to unravel. Which is why this feels like such a dangerous setup to many analysts right now.Consider that in 2025 alone, OpenAI has made around $1 trillion-worth of AI deals. A lot of these deals are plans to invest: commitments to buy data center construction or the use of data center bandwidth, or they're financial ties with competitors, clients, and providers—companies that would otherwise be competing with, selling to, and buying from each other, rather than linking arms and creating financial and infrastructural interdependencies.Many of these deals are predicated on debt and what are generally considered to be over-inflated IPO valuations, too: money that isn't money in the traditional, accounting-book sense, in other words. Numbers that make activity, use, and income for these companies look a lot bigger than they concretely are, on balance sheets, which in turn helps their investment numbers go up up up.This dynamic has become overt enough that many of the biggest investors in AI companies, and the heads of said companies, like Sam Altman of OpenAI, have said, outright, that it's probably a bubble, and that a lot of companies will probably go under in the relatively near future. No one knows when, but it's a good thing, they're fond of saying, because that shakeout will kill off the deadweight, allow the survivors to scoop up their former competitors' assets at fire sale prices, and the whole industry will be further centralized around just a handful of the best and the most impactful, just like in the post-dotcom years. Monopolies and mini-monopolies, which, for the people creating and profiting from those monopolies, at least, seems like a good thing.That optimism glosses over what those in-between years look like, though, especially for smaller investors, employees who are laid off, en masse, and the folks who aren't profiting directly from the surviving business entities, and who see their stock portfolios collapse and overall growth in their country decrease.Most of the stories in the tech world right now in some way tie back to the promise and concerns surrounding AI. It's become such a big story because there's a chance it will be the next electricity, but there's also a chance the warning signs we're seeing are real, and things will get a lot worse before they maybe, possibly, for some people, at some point, get better.Show Noteshttps://finance.yahoo.com/news/a-20-billion-clock-is-ticking-for-openai-as-microsoft-talks-turn-fractious-130006071.htmlhttps://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/circular-deals-bay-area-tech-21089538.phphttps://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/oct/08/openai-multibillion-dollar-deals-exuberance-circular-nvidia-amdhttps://www.ft.com/content/950e3a36-7141-4426-b7c5-08fad5d83919https://finance.yahoo.com/news/very-troubling-ais-self-investment-spree-sets-off-bubble-alarms-on-wall-street-160524518.htmlhttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/15/a-guide-to-1-trillion-worth-of-ai-deals-between-openai-nvidia.htmlhttps://insights.som.yale.edu/insights/this-is-how-the-ai-bubble-burstshttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz69qy760weohttps://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/openai-nvidia-amd-deals-risks-rcna234806https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-08/the-circular-openai-nvidia-and-amd-deals-raising-fears-of-a-new-tech-bubblehttps://flowingdata.com/2025/10/13/circular-deals-among-ai-companies/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/business/dealbook/openai-nvidia-amd-investments-circular.htmlhttps://sherwood.news/markets/analyst-a-lot-more-disclosure-needed-on-these-circular-ai-deals/https://www.barrons.com/articles/nvidia-microsoft-openai-circular-financing-ai-bubble-5d9a4e7chttps://www.investopedia.com/wall-street-analysts-ai-bubble-stock-market-11826943https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/ai-may-start-to-boost-us-gdp-in-2027https://finance.yahoo.com/news/most-us-growth-now-rides-213011552.html This is a public episode.

In this thought-provoking episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron dive deep into what it means to be Christian "people of the Book" in a society rapidly drifting into post-literacy. Drawing from James Marriott's article The Dawn of the Post-Literate Society, they explore the cultural, spiritual, and intellectual consequences of our screen-saturated age — and what it means for Christians committed to truth, Scripture, and careful thinking. From the decline in reading comprehension to the passive consumption of endless digital content, they examine how smartphones, edutainment, and modern distractions are shaping our minds and our theology. With references to thinkers like Neil Postman, Kant, and Matthew Arnold, this episode is for Christians who crave rich theological discussion, cultural critique, and a challenge to reclaim deep literacy in a distracted world.

Een opluchting voor Apple. Vorig jaar scoorde de nieuwe iPhone niet bepaald de pannen van het dak. Maar met de iPhone 17 ziet het er een stuk beter uit. Voor de eerste weken zijn de verkopen 14 procent hoger dan die van de voorganger. En in China is het een hit. Daar verkocht Apple er al zeker dubbel zoveel. Wat betekent dat voor de aankomende kwartaalcijfers? En kan Apple de grip op die Chinese markt vasthouden? Dat vertellen we je in deze aflevering. Over die Chinese markt gesproken, van de portemonnee van de gemiddelde Chinees moet Apple het niet hebben. De groei van de economie daar neemt af. Ondertussen broedt de regering op een nieuw plan om die groei de komende jaar op gang te houden. Verder gaat het over het best presterende aandeel van het jaar aan het Damrak. Defensiebedrijf Theon verovert de harten van beleggers. En de topman weet wel raak met al dat geld van beleggers. Hij wil namelijk uitbreiden naar meer dan alleen de nachtkijkers die hij nu produceert.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey friends, Chase here. I'm back with a little reflection that's been brewing for a while—one that hits right at the heart of what it means to be a creator right now. Lately, the number one question in my inbox (and probably yours too) goes something like this: “What happens to creativity now that AI can do so much?” If that question sounds familiar, you're not alone. We've seen this movie before. Back in 2006, I wrote a post responding to photographers who were terrified that point-and-shoot cameras would “steal” their jobs. Fast forward to today, and we're hearing the same fear—just swap “AI” for “amateurs with a camera.” For a trip down memory lane, check out that original post, “Don't Worry, Just Focus. Please.” — it's wild how the same conversation echoes through time. Different tools, same creative truth. The Creative Edge Isn't Vanishing — It's Moving. Here's the thing: every new tool feels like a threat at first. Digital cameras. Instagram. Smartphones. Now AI. Each time, a slice of the market shifts. The low-end work gets automated or absorbed by cheaper, faster tools. But the top quartile—the creators who bring taste, originality, and human nuance—don't vanish. They adapt, evolve, and expand what's possible. If you're worried about being replaced, you're probably looking at the wrong part of the playing field. The real creative edge has just moved—it's waiting for you to catch up. Here's what we get into in this episode: History repeats: from point-and-shoot cameras to AI, every leap in tech stirs the same fear—and the same opportunity Stay out of the bottom tier: low-margin work gets eaten first; creativity built on depth, taste, and expertise always finds demand Leverage the tools: don't compete with the machine—learn to wield it to multiply your output and sharpen your ideas Mindset as the real skill: the belief that you can evolve is what keeps you in the game when the rules change The big idea? Your creative advantage isn't disappearing—it's evolving. The tools may change, but what makes your work matter has always been the same: curiosity, courage, and a willingness to play with what's next. AI isn't the end of creativity. It's an invitation to a new chapter. So pick up the tools, experiment, and move with the edge—because that's where the real art happens. Until next time—stay curious, stay evolving, and keep creating.

It's Warrior Wednesday, and host Lionel and Lynn Shaw are sounding the alarm on the urgent youth mental health crisis. They expose how social media devices are "an onboard computer and portal to predation", detailing the legislative fight for KOSA (Kids Online Safety Act) and the alarming dangers of AI chatbots linked to self-harm. Then, Lionel declares a global war on speech, passionately defending complete, unfettered free expression where "everything and anything goes". Hear his take on Australia banning conservative commentator Candace Owens because her ideas might cause "discomfort". Finally, the episode scrutinizes Dram Shop laws regarding bartender accountability, pivots to a deeply personal segment on addiction and recovery with remarkable sober callers, and dives deep into political failures, health conspiracies (beef tallow advocates!), and the truth the system keeps invisible regarding the JFK assassination.

Do you struggle with feeling like your happiness lives ‘out there' in the future – in the next partner, the next job, the next milestone?  In this episode of the Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a renowned psychiatrist and researcher, to explore the difference between the happiness we chase and the joy we cultivate. Together, we unpack why so many high performers confuse burnout with depression — and how to rediscover a grounded, internally sourced sense of aliveness. Dr. Joseph shares the subtle signs of high-functioning depression, how unprocessed trauma can hide beneath busyness, and practical ways to reconnect with yourself. You'll learn her Five V's framework — Validate, Vent, Values, Vitals, and Vision — plus the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory practice to return to the present moment and healthy ways to release emotion without “trauma dumping.” We also dive into her latest research on joy in the digital age — including why two weeks without a smartphone can lift mood as powerfully as an antidepressant. You'll walk away with simple, science-backed tools to reset your nervous system, protect your mental health, and design your own blueprint for lasting joy and wellbeing.   0:00 – 1:20 Setting the frame: Why we chase happiness externally and how science tallies “points of joy.” 1:20 – 3:40 Joy vs. happiness: cultivating an internal resource for resilience (presence over postponement). 3:40 – 6:20 Burnout or depression? The stigma, the “always on” brain, and signs of high-functioning depression. 6:20 – 8:05 Inner restlessness, anhedonia, and why “I can't relax” persists even away from stressors. 8:05 – 10:15 The 5-4-3-2-1 practice: a sensory ritual to reclaim presence (mindful eating, savoring, connection). 10:15 – 12:05 Make it routine: how predictability settles your nervous system (Dr. Judith's coffee ritual). 12:05 – 14:30 “Pathologically productive:” succeeding on paper, suffering in silence — a 2020 wake-up call. 14:30 – 16:35 Why prevention matters: studying high-functioning depression before a full breakdown. 16:35 – 18:30 Not all trauma is “capital-T”: neglect, scarcity, and the invisible experiences that shape us. 18:30 – 21:05 Scarcity trauma vs. scarcity mindset: epigenetics, inherited behaviors, and overworking on autopilot. 21:05 – 23:00 Distinguishing love of learning from fear-driven achievement; checking the operating system. 23:00 – 25:10 The Five V's (part 1): Validate (name what's true) and Vent (without trauma dumping). 25:10 – 27:00 Healthy venting: emotional consent, reciprocity, journaling, prayer, and crying (90-second waves). 27:00 – 28:40 The Five V's (part 2): Values—prioritizing the priceless over the performative. 28:40 – 30:35 Collective & vicarious trauma: protecting your brain in a 24/7 news cycle. 30:35 – 32:10 RESET method: Realize, Educate, Strategy, Expectations, Thoughtfulness (boundaries with tech). 32:10 – 34:10 Smartphones & joy: why a “flip-phone fortnight” can feel like an antidepressant (more sleep, nature, connection). 34:10 – 35:10 The self-scrutiny trap: always seeing our own face, rising criticism, and lost social joy. 35:10 – 36:30 Digital age sanity: sleep hygiene, light exposure, and device boundaries that restore your brain. 36:30 – 37:35 “Understand the science of your happiness”: mapping your bio-psycho-social fingerprint. 37:35 – 39:00 The Five V's (part 3): Vision—plan your joy and celebrate small wins daily. 39:00 – 40:00 Closing: Joy heals communities; permission to feel good now + where to connect with Dr. Judith.   === Want to go deeper on healing trauma?
