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?

durée : 00:03:11 - Un monde connecté - par : François Saltiel - Dans cette ville de près de 70 000 habitants,les administrés doivent respecter une nouvelle consigne : ne plus utiliser leurs smartphones plus de deux heures par jour !

Voor veel jongeren is de smartphone een verlengstuk van hun arm. Altijd online, altijd bereikbaar. Maar kunnen ze daar wel goed mee omgaan? Wat doet die constante stroom aan meldingen, beelden en likes met hun brein, hun zelfbeeld en hun relaties? Had de smartphone niet beter nooit bestaan? Prof. Tom De Leyn, socioloog aan de UHasselt, sprak erover met Xavier Taveirne in kenniscentrum ARhus in Roeselare.ARhus is het open kenniscentrum in Roeselare waar jong en oud terechtkunnen om te leren, ontdekken en elkaar te ontmoeten. Via workshops, lezingen en events met een sterke focus op digitale geletterdheid, taal- en leesbevordering, kritisch denken en inclusie wil ARhus iedereen gelijke kansen geven in een snel veranderende samenleving.De podcastopnames in ARhus werden georganiseerd binnen het project ‘Naar een e-inclusieve zorg'. Met de steun van de POD Maatschappelijke Integratie, Digilab, gefinancierd door de Europese Unie - NextGenerationEU.

In the beginning, people stored addresses, telephone numbers, and dates in little books. Sometimes called organizers. These paper books were popular and some became fashion statements. A particularly famous one was the luxurious, leather-bound Filofax. In the 1980s, new technologies enabled the rise of a new category of electronic tools to replace those books. Those devices' innovations take us right into the modern era of smartphones. In this sprawling, globe-spanning video, we look at the Personal Digital Assistant, the PDA.

Hemorrhoids affect millions of Americans each year, and sitting too long on the toilet is among the hidden triggers Using a smartphone in the bathroom raises hemorrhoid risk by 46% because it keeps you seated longer without pelvic support People who use their phones are far more likely to sit over five minutes per trip, even though many don't realize their habit is adding time Younger adults are the most frequent toilet phone users, meaning their risk of hemorrhoids builds earlier in life Simple changes — like leaving your phone outside the bathroom, adjusting toilet sitting positions, staying hydrated, and walking daily — help prevent painful flare-ups

Local news is changing faster than anyone imagined — and Northwestern University's Medill School just put numbers to the chaos. Its new State of Local News 2025 report reveals a seismic shift: smartphones have overtaken TV, content creators now rival traditional outlets, and only 15% of Americans say they're willing to pay for local journalism. For Medill's Tim Franklin and Stephanie Edgerly, the findings are both a wake-up call and a roadmap for survival. The future of local news, they warn, depends on how fast publishers adapt to audiences who've already moved on.   Access more at this episode's landing page, at: https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/state-of-local-news-2025-smartphones-surge-content-creators-rise-and-only-15-pay,258226  

Smartphones are a staple in most people's daily lives, whether they are catching up…

For many parents, giving a child their own smartphone is a fraught milestone. But some are finding ways to avoid its pitfalls and still keep their pre-teens connected to friends: they're getting landlines.

Arbeiten ohne ständige Ablenkung? Wie das geht, damit beschäftigt sich Neurowissenschaftler Henning Beck. Seine Antwort: Das Gehirn braucht Phasen der tiefen Konzentration – ohne Smartphone. Wiese, Tim www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Im Gespräch

Alessandro De Carli the founder at Acurast, a scalable, secure, decentralized compute network powered by the massive global base of modern smartphones. Why you should listen Acurast is a decentralized, serverless cloud platform that transforms everyday smartphones into secure computing nodes, removing the need for centralized data centers. By tapping into the massive global base of modern smartphones—devices that already come equipped with advanced security features—Acurast creates a scalable, confidential, and verifiable compute network. Its mission is to democratize access to computing power, enabling anyone with a smartphone to contribute to, and benefit from, a decentralized cloud. The platform is built on a modular architecture that spans three layers. At the Consensus Layer, Acurast employs a Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) mechanism enhanced with an orchestrator, reputation engine, and attestation service. This ensures the network runs reliably and securely, with strong incentives for honest behavior. The Execution Layer harnesses Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) inside smartphones to carry out tasks in a secure and confidential manner, guaranteeing data privacy and computational integrity. Sitting at the top, the Application Layer hosts decentralized applications that can seamlessly offload computations to the network. This layered design allows developers to deploy applications requiring verifiable, secure computations—without relying on traditional servers. This architecture opens up a range of compelling use cases. Acurast can support confidential AI processing, enabling decentralized execution of sensitive AI models. It can function as a decentralized oracle, securely feeding off-chain data to smart contracts. It also powers cross-chain asset management, allowing operations to flow securely across multiple blockchain networks. Additionally, Acurast offers a framework for ethical web scraping, providing a compliant and decentralized way to collect data without centralized gatekeepers. The ecosystem is underpinned by its native token, $ACU, which plays a vital role in the platform's economy. Tokens are used to pay for transaction fees, staked to secure the network and earn rewards, and wielded for governance—giving holders a say in the platform's future direction. The total supply of $ACU is capped at 1 billion tokens, ensuring scarcity and long-term value alignment. Community engagement is a central pillar of Acurast's strategy. Through initiatives like the “Cloud Rebellion,” users can contribute their devices, refer others, and complete various tasks to earn rewards. This community-driven model accelerates the network's growth while reinforcing its decentralization ethos. Under this approach, Acurast has already onboarded over 100,000 devices and executed more than 300 million transactions, setting a new benchmark for what decentralized computing networks can achieve.

What do your earbuds, your tablet, and the submarine have in common? They were all dreamed up in the pages of a book long before they existed in reality. This episode is a journey into the profound power of the question, "Imagine what if." We'll explore how speculative fiction has served as the unofficial R&D department for humanity, inspiring everything from our gadgets to our social movements. More importantly, we'll talk about how to reclaim that "childlike" spark of imagination in our very adult lives—not as an escape, but as the ultimate tool for creative problem-solving and building a more magical future, starting today.

Here is a bold statement that is hard to comprehend and believe. Generation Z is being shaped more by TikTok than by Biblical truth. 
This begs the question, who exactly are today's young adults and how do we reach them? A simple Google search of Gen Z pops up 1.3 billion hits in just a fraction of a second. However, there is very little clarity on what this young people group actually thinks, feels, and believes.
To better understand who these current 13- to 28-year-olds are, Summit Ministries, recognized as a leader in cultural engagement, has released a brand-new 40-page white paper resource called, “State of the Rising Generation Report”. Designed for parents, teachers, and pastors, this free report distills thousands of pages of research, expert interviews, and student groups into a clear, and easy to understand format.
Among the report's key findings:- The Identity Crisis: 58% of young adults say they have no clear direction in life.
- Mental Health Struggles: 72% of young women and 67% of young men say anxiety and depression are part of who they are. - Smartphone vs. AI Generation: If Gen Z is the “smartphone generation,” Gen Alpha is the first “AI generation,” with profound implications for learning and relationships.
- Faith Deconstruction: While church attendance is declining, 90% of young adults express some form of spiritual belief, signaling fresh opportunities for engagement.
- Relationships in Crisis: From pornography to loneliness, isolation to family breakdown, technology and culture are reshaping how young adults view marriage, friendship and community.  Dr. Jeff Myers is one of America's most respected voices on youth development and worldview. The author of 18 books, he is a frequent commentator on cultural confusion, moral clarity, and generational discipleship. It is his desire to equip parents and leaders with truth and context so they can spend more time connecting with the ones they love, all while guiding Generation Z to fulfill their God-given potential.
Dr. Myers joins me to chat about how the role of technology is quickly shaping Generation Z's worldview. Listen as he shares why it is so vitally important to address today's cultural and political confusion with a strong Biblical viewpoint, one that is clear and relatable to today's young adults.

When it comes to raising teenagers in today’s digital world, parents often face this big question: “Should my teenager have a phone?” It’s about safety, responsibility, and protecting kids from the bad corners of the internet. On The Patrick Madrid Show, a young listener named Jacob from Massachusetts calls in with a bold request. His parents had told him that if Patrick gave the green light, they’d buy him a phone. So, what is Patrick’s advice? Smartphones vs. “Dumb Phones” Patrick says that if Jacob had asked for an iPhone or Android, the answer would have been a resounding “no.” Why? Because, as Patrick put it, “Handing a 14-year-old a smartphone is like giving him a stick of dynamite.” The dangers are real: -Easy access to inappropriate content -Predators who target young teens online -Addictive apps like TikTok and Snapchat -A constant stream of distractions that interfere with school, prayer, and family life Instead, Patrick recommends what he calls a “dumb phone” – a device designed for communication, but without the traps of social media or unrestricted internet access. Safe Alternatives for Teens Patrick gives Jacob a few options worth considering: Flip Phones (Charity Mobile)These simple phones make calls and send texts but offer little else. Patrick praises the show sponsor Charity Mobile, a Catholic-owned provider that offers flip phones while donating a portion of every bill to pro-life and Catholic charities. They do allow limited access to internet, which would be great for Jacob when he's a bit older. Gabb PhoneSpecifically built for kids and teens, the Gabb Phone looks like a smartphone but comes without an internet browser, app store, or social media. Parents get peace of mind, and kids get freedom to call and text. The Light PhoneThis sleek, minimalist phone allows calls, texts, directions, music, alarms, and notes – but nothing more. There's no Instagram, YouTube, or web surfing. It’s designed for people who want to stay connected without falling into digital overload. Each of these options provides what Patrick believes every teen needs: a way for parents and kids to stay in touch in case of emergencies – without opening the door to unnecessary temptations. A Catholic Approach to Parenting in the Digital Age Parents face an uphill battle. On one hand, kids need a way to call home after sports practice or text if there’s a problem. On the other hand, unrestricted digital access can undermine their spiritual, mental, and emotional growth. Patrick’s advice to Jacob shows a balanced approach: -Safety first. Phones should protect, not endanger. -Limited freedom. Give kids responsibility gradually. -Family values. Choose options that align with Catholic teaching and protect innocence. By starting with a Gabb Phone, Light Phone, or flip phone, parents can help their children build healthy habits before eventually upgrading – if and when they’re ready for the responsibility. For Catholic families, the lesson is clear: give your teen a safe tool, not a digital temptation. The goal is about helping them grow in virtue.

Fernsehen gehört für viele Kinder zum Alltag – aber welche Inhalte sind eigentlich wirklich gut und welche lösen vielleicht eher Angst oder Überforderung aus? Gemeinsam mit Dr. Maya Götz, Medienpädagogin und Leiterin des Internationalen Zentralinstituts für Jugend- und Bildungsfernsehen, sprechen wir darüber, ab wann und wie lange Kinder Medien überhaupt nutzen sollten und warum Formate wie „Paw Patrol“, „Checker Tobi“ oder Disney-Klassiker ganz unterschiedliche Wirkungen haben können. Wir besprechen außerdem, welche Risiken hinter YouTube Kids lauern und ab wann ein eigenes Smartphone sinnvoll ist. Und nebenbei geht's Bobo Siebenschläfer an den Kragen.

Technology should serve us—not run us. In this direct, no-fluff conversation on Healthy Minds, Healthy Life, host Aanya speaks with Colin Corby (TEDx speaker, leadership well-being and digital detox coach) about reclaiming attention in an always-online world. We unpack how persuasive design shapes identity, why AI-assisted convenience can erode core skills, and how to build realistic off-screen habits without quitting your job or your phone. If you're ready to reduce screen time, think clearly, sleep better, and perform like a “business athlete,” this episode gives you practical, repeatable steps you can start today.   About the guest  :   Colin Corby is a leadership well-being and digital detox coach, TEDx speaker, and creator of Digital Detox Coach. With 30+ years in technology leadership and the mindset of a four-time Ironman triathlete, he helps people and organizations set healthy, sustainable boundaries with tech.   Key takeaways: Identity is shaped by experience: When most experiences are online, platforms co-shape who we become; curating ourselves and being curated by algorithms. Why this era is different: Smartphones travel with us, collect granular behavior and location data, and—paired with AI—can outsource core skills if unchecked. Digital detox = balance, not escape: Think “get out of the sweet shop” briefly and often—micro-breaks (20 seconds), 10–15 minute offline blocks, device-free evenings/weekends. Environment beats willpower: Change rooms, remove device triggers, set time barriers (no phone before morning routine, cutoff at night), and solve the alarm-clock problem. Habit mechanics: Interrupt old loops and build new ones; expect ~66 days on average for a habit to stick—track, iterate, and be kind to yourself when you slip. Business-athlete mindset: Sleep, nutrition, coaching, and deliberate practice apply to digital well-being just like endurance training. “Just One Thing” challenge: Each time you pick up your phone, do only one pre-planned task, then wait 5–10 minutes—powerful for breaking autopilot app-hopping. Future-proof your brain: Don't outsource all thinking to tools; keep building knowledge and critical-thinking muscles to stay adaptable and valuable at work. Make real life rewarding: Plan enjoyable offline activities (meals, movement, hobbies) so you're not “detoxing into boredom.”   Connect with the guest   Explore Colin's resources, videos, and TEDx talk via the Digital Detox Coach website and YouTube channel.

In dieser Episode des Gesundheitszone-Podcasts haben wir Daniel Wolff zu Gast, einen erfahrenen Digitaltrainer, der sich auf die Mediennutzung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen spezialisiert hat. Daniel, der mit über 100.000 Kindern an fast 500 Schulen gearbeitet hat, teilt seine Eindrücke und Erfahrungen aus seinem Berufsalltag. Wir beleuchten die Herausforderungen, die mit der digitalen Mediennutzung einhergehen und welche Auswirkungen diese auf Kinder und ihre Entwicklung haben können. Daniel beginnt mit seiner persönlichen Geschichte und erklärt, wie er von einem IT-Journalisten zu einem Medienberater in Schulen wurde. Während seiner Workshops trifft er nicht nur auf Kinder, sondern auch auf Lehrkräfte und Eltern, mit denen er über die Risiken und Chancen digitaler Medien spricht. Besonders homogen hat sich die Problematik in den letzten Jahren durch die Corona-Pandemie verschärft, da die digitale Kommunikation exponentiell zugenommen hat. Daniel erzählt uns spannende und manchmal erschreckende Anekdoten über die Inhalte, die Kinder im Internet konsumieren und welche gravierenden Auswirkungen dies auf ihre psychische Gesundheit haben kann. In der Diskussion hebt Daniel hervor, dass oft Kinder und Eltern in einer Parallelwelt leben, wo kaum Kommunikation über digitale Inhalte stattfindet. Dieses Ungleichgewicht führt zu einer erhöhten Verletzlichkeit der Kinder. Zum Beispiel erzählt er von seinen Erfahrungen, bei denen Kinder erschreckende Videos gesehen haben, die weit über das hinausgehen, was Eltern sich vorstellen können. Daniel erläutert, dass es wichtig ist, Kindern beizubringen, offen über ihre Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen im Internet zu sprechen, um sie besser schützen zu können. Ein zentrales Anliegen von Daniel ist es, dass Eltern sich besser auf die digitale Welt vorbereiten und die Nutzung von Smartphones und Medien in der Familie aktiv begleiten sollten. Er schlägt verschiedene Ansätze vor, um dies zu erreichen. Dazu gehört unter anderem der Vorschlag, einen sogenannten „Smartphone-Führerschein“ für Eltern einzuführen, der ihnen hilft, die digitale Welt besser zu verstehen. Daniel gibt auch konkrete Tipps zur sicheren Nutzung von Smartphones und Social Media. Er räumt mit Vorurteilen auf und erklärt, dass Kinder oft viel mehr über digitale Medien wissen, als es Eltern bewusst ist. Er fordert Eltern dazu auf, ihre Vorurteile abzubauen und sich aktiv mit den Themen auseinanderzusetzen, die für ihre Kinder relevant sind. In der letzten Hälfte des Podcasts geht Daniel auf die drängenden Fragen der Medienerziehung in Schulen ein. Er fordert, dass digitale Medienerziehung Teil des regulären Lehrplans sein sollte, um Kinder von klein auf auf die Herausforderungen und Chancen der digitalen Welt vorzubereiten. Daniel schlussfolgert, dass das Bewusstsein über die Gefahren der digitalen Welt und die richtige Unterstützung der Kinder für eine positive und gesunde Entwicklung von größter Bedeutung sind. Diese Episode bietet wertvolle Einblicke in die Arbeit eines Digitaltrainers und zeigt auf, wie dringend notwendig eine umfassende Medienerziehung für Kinder ist.

Just one hour of scrolling on your smartphone is enough to trigger measurable eye strain, reducing how often you blink and leaving your eyes dry and tired Social media reels are harder on your eyes than reading or watching videos because constant brightness changes force your pupils to adjust nonstop Eye strain builds over time, with the most noticeable discomfort showing up after the 40-minute mark, when blinking patterns become irregular Nearly all participants in the study reported dryness, fatigue, and blurred vision, proving that the measurable eye changes match real-world discomfort Simple lifestyle steps like reducing screen time, taking longer breaks, cutting out blue light at night, improving nutrition, and spending more time outdoors protect your eyes from daily screen stress

In today's episode, Melanie sits down with Beth, a high school teacher, to hear her firsthand experience with the new phone-free classroom policy this school year.Beth shares the contrast between last year's inconsistent approach—where teachers set their own phone rules, leading to confusion and frustration—and this year's unified, zero-tolerance policy: no phones, headphones, smartwatches, or personal devices from bell to bell.The results have been remarkable. Students are talking and connecting with each other, engaging more with their teachers, and showing up to class happier, less stressed, and better rested. Teachers are noticing fewer distractions, better focus, and improved productivity in class.Of course, there are challenges to keep an eye on, like students attempting to sneak in earbuds or use smartwatches, and some adjusting to moments of boredom without their devices. But overall, the shift has been transformative—for both students and teachers.This episode offers an inspiring look at what really happens when schools go phone-free.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.
