Episode Description:James sits down with astrophysicist Brian Keating for a candid, useful tour through three hot zones: how to think about AI (and where it actually helps), what's broken in higher ed and admissions right now, and why outsourcing your mood to politics is a losing strategy. You'll hear first-hand stories (from UC San Diego classrooms to New York City politics), specific ways James and Brian really use AI daily, and a simple framework for protecting your attention and happiness—even when everything feels polarized.What You'll Learn:A practical AI workflow you can copy today (research prompts, personal “style” bots, and where LLMs fail at original insight). A filter for political noise that keeps 99% of your happiness anchored in health, family, friends, and work you control. What the UCSD admissions/placement findings really mean for preparation and standards (and why “remedial” can mask deeper gaps).A simple admissions/common-sense principle: standards matter; “portfolio” evaluation shouldn't ignore basic skills. How to use AI without losing your own voice—James' test for “write it in my style” and why generic outputs still fall short. Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Loft event stories, comedy beats, and setting the tone for a heavy topic. [05:00] NYC politics, leadership, and the “why would they vote for him?” question. [07:32] Slogans vs. reality: chants, charters, and what words actually imply. [09:30] Economics that sound nice vs. incentives that ruin cities. [12:00] “Don't outsource your happiness to politicians.” A sanity reset. [20:48] Inside UCSD's placement data: how did calculus passers miss first-grade algebra? [30:02] Standards, SATs, and what “remedial” hides (plus grade inflation). [77:49] How James and Brian actually use AI; “mad-bot disease” and why voice still matters.Additional ResourcesBrian Keating's "Monday M.A.G.I.C."

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Batsheva Haart for an empowering conversation about dating through the lens of personal growth. We dive into what it really means to stop settling, to raise your standards for life, and to show the universe you're serious about what you've been asking for. We also explored the mindset shift that happens when you choose self-love over instant gratification, and the power of certainty when it comes to manifesting your desires.

Labour says the Government shouldn't be celebrating record high prisoner numbers. Earlier this week Prime Minister Christopher Luxon declared it was a good thing the prison population was nearing 11 thousand people. The Government is also celebrating a reduction by 38 thousand in the number of victims of violent crime since it came into power. Labour's Duncan Webb told John MacDonald that while locking people up may provide short term relief, it doesn't last. He says they eventually get out and will cause more harm unless they've been rehabilitated. National's Matt Doocey told MacDonald that he disagrees with Webb framing the situation as locking them up, but not fixing anything. He says you can actually do both, and there is a duty to ensure there are rehabilitation programmes for incarcerated individuals. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ladies, listen… in today's episode, I'm going to break down something that most women feel, but can't quite put into words. The dating atmosphere has changed — dramatically. Men aren't showing up in their masculine anymore. A lot of them are operating way too far in their feminine energy, and it is stressing women out. I'm going to tell you exactly why this is happening, how we accidentally helped create the problem, and most importantly, what you must do if you want to attract an elite man — a man with character, values, valor, and real masculine leadership. Not just a man with money… a man who is wealthy in every way that matters. I'm talking about: Why equality pulled an okey doke on us How women ended up doing everything while being paid less Why depression, anxiety, and burnout skyrocketed among women How dating men beneath your level destroys your feminine energy Why financially misaligned relationships are literally harming your health And the #1 rule my high-level clients must follow: stop dating broke men I'm also sharing why I've opened my programs to women in their 20s — because these younger women are paying attention, moving smarter, and setting standards that many older women never learned to set. Ladies, this episode is your wake-up call. Your elevation call. Your "stop settling and step into your feminine power" call. If you are ready to attract a man who provides, protects, and pours into your soul… the kind of man who is your peace, your safety, and your partner… then this is the episode you need.
In this week's episode I sit down with celebrity trainer Don Saladino who's worked with Ryan Reynolds Hugh Jackman and other A-list names. We talk about what it really takes to build a career in coaching that actually lasts and the things most coaches miss when it comes to standards service and growing a business that works.
The coalition is in the throes of internal warfare - with Winston Peters and David Seymour slinging barbs over the Regulatory Standards Bill. In a stunning about-face today, Mr Peters has pledged to revoke that law - ACT's brainchild - next term - despite voting it through last week. It has prompted an extraordinary rebuke from David Seymour - who says Mr Peters looks like he's gearing up to jump ship to a Labour coalition. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.
Winston Peters says the Coalition is doing just fine after his change of position on ACT's Regulatory Standards Bill. The NZ First Leader says next year he will campaign on getting rid of the legislation, despite supporting it just last week. ACT Leader David Seymour finds that worrying. But Peters told Mike Hosking he rejects any claim the Coalition is crumbling. He says their number one responsibility is providing a stable Government, which it is doing.

It's unfair to require such high standards from a man when you can't give to him what you require from him. It's not about having equal to him, but you should have some of what you're requiring because in a relationship the man needs fulfillment just as the woman does. It's not fair to look for what you can't give and it's delusional to do so. Women want to follow society saying a man should take care of a woman but fail to realize societies are filled with broken/unhealed people who are immature and don't think realistically. There's nothing wrong with wanting someone to have his own, but you should have yours too! Just as he should enhance your life, you should enhance his, it shouldn't be one-way!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.
David Seymour isn't impressed with New Zealand First's promise to campaign on repealing ACT's Regulatory Standards bill. The Bill passed last Thursday - supported by New Zealand First, National and ACT - and became law two days ago. NZ First leader Winston Peters has since called it a 'terrible overreach' and 'not fit for a modern democracy'. Seymour gave his opinion on this move. "People want to play politics - I mean, it's not even an election year yet." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you trying to set teen boundaries without your child calling you “controlling” or “the worst parent ever”?If you want your teen to live by high standards—around tech, food, friends, habits, and lifestyle—you can't just make it your standard and enforce it. It has to become their standard. In this episode of the Extraordinary Family Life Podcast, Greg and Rachel break down exactly how they helped their own teens buy in so deeply that they now say things like, “I'm not putting that garbage in my body,” or “I don't waste my life on that.”Instead of rules and power struggles, they show you how to prioritize relationship over rules, lean on unconditional love, and teach the laws that govern health, happiness, success, and addiction—so your kids see for themselves where certain choices lead. When teens understand the why behind your standards, they stop feeling controlled and start choosing those standards for themselves.You'll also hear how the Dennings have intentionally made real life more compelling than video games or junk food—often inviting friends along for the ride—so the “different” lifestyle isn't a punishment, it's an upgrade.If you've ever wondered, “How do I hold the line without wrecking the relationship?” this conversation will give you a new framework: less control, more conviction—and a family standard that everyone owns.
Language assessments shape who gets services, how goals are written, and how progress is measured, but there are many misconceptions about how to follow best-practices when doing an evaluation. In this three-part series, bilingual SLPs Destiny Johnson and Tiffany Shahoumian-Ruiz join me to dig into the science, the myths, and the policies that shape evaluation practices in schools.Across these conversations, we explore:Sensitivity, specificity, reference standards, and diagnostic accuracyHow test development has evolved over time and why this matters Why the same cut-off score shouldn't apply across all testsThe math behind using two norm-referenced tests, and why it may complicate rather than clarify in some casesOther reasons we test beyond diagnosis (treatment planning, severity, monitoring progress)How do we do we to “sell” the concept of dynamic assessment to administratorsCase studies that show the pitfalls of over-reliance on standardized scoresMisconceptions clinicians often hold, and what they should know about assessmentDifferences in state eligibility standards, and what this means for service decisionsThis series is part myth-busting, part practical strategies, and part advocacy playbook—perfect for clinicians who want to move beyond compliance-driven evaluations toward assessments that truly reflect students' needs.You can listen to Part 1 of the series here.Destiny Johnson, M.S., CCC-SLP, is a bilingual speech-language pathologist (English/Spanish) with a deep passion for culturally responsive assessment and treatment practices, as well as advocating for policy change. She has presented on dynamic assessment at the CSHA Convergence 2024, focusing on the importance of dynamic assessment in bilingual children.

Die einen sagen, man soll beim Dating offen bleiben, die anderen raten, klare Standards zu haben – aber was bedeutet das eigentlich konkret? Welche Fragen sollte man sich stellen, bevor man sich verliebt? Und wie hört man auf, immer wieder an die Falschen zu geraten? Diesmal sprechen wir darüber, welche No-Gos uns aus früheren Beziehungen verfolgt haben, welche Eigenschaften und Werte bei uns absolut nicht mehr verhandelbar sind und woran man erkennt, ob man nicht aus Versehen wieder jemanden datet, der nur das eigene Kindheitsmuster triggert. Außerdem geht's darum, wie wichtig die Kommunikation von Absichten ist – und welchen Platz Optik beim Dating wirklich haben darf. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

IntroductionHaving previously discussed Talmudic Parables of Wine with Looks with Dr. Elana Stein Hain on episode 133 of The Jewish Drinking Show, there are certainly Talmudic parables involving wine. However, there are also Talmudic parables that use wine and drinking for sexual references, too! Joining the 185th episode of The Jewish Drinking Show to explore these parables is Rabbi Dr. Gail Labovitz.Biography of GuestRabbi Dr. Gail Labovitz is Professor of Rabbinic Literature and former Chair of the Department of Rabbinics for the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies. She is the author of two books of rabbinic scholarship and of numerous articles in the areas of rabbinic literature, Jewish law, and feminist studies, including "Is Rav's Wife 'a Dish'? Food and Eating Metaphors in Rabbinic Discourse of Sexuality and Gender Relations", which serves as the catalyst for this episode.Dr. Labovitz has also taught at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (JTS) and the Academy for Jewish Religion in New York. Prior to joining the faculty at AJU, Dr. Labovitz worked as the Senior Research Analyst in Judaism for the Feminist Sexual Ethics Project at Brandeis University, and as the Coordinator for the Jewish Women's Research Group, a project of the Women's Studies Program at JTS. Rabbi Labovitz served for ten years on the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly, and authored two responsa, as well as participating in a number of other rabbinic and academic committees and activities. Most recently, she has become a member of the first cohort of the new Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program at the Jewish Theological Seminary.SourcesTextual sources for this episode are available here.Beer RecommendationFor the third episode, we welcome Noah Schmutter from New Jersey on for a beer recommendation, having previously appeared on episode 133 and episode 136.

Send us a textA cold front is rolling in and the plan is set: finish a final Arkansas public land rifle hunt, then head to Illinois to meet the rut head-on with fresh cameras, a new trailer, and enough tags to make camp hum. We break down the gritty parts no one likes to admit—nerves at full draw, the difference between a 120 and a 160 staring you down, and how aging eyes and reading glasses mess with bow sights—then lay out the small choices that lead to clean shots and real results.The hunt has a star: the Big Six, a mature buck that's outsmarted us for three seasons. He's shifted to creek bottoms, hugged a corner with neighbor pressure, and barely daylighted once. We sketch a realistic path to success: keep him centered, wait for the rut to loosen his guard, or slip close to the bed for a midday window. Mixed in are the stories that keep a camp together—mailman chases to rescue gear deliveries, e-bike wipeouts, and a lost Sitka luggage saga that sparks a frank talk about why premium layers sometimes make all the difference when it's cold, wet, and you get one shot.Standards start ambitious and evolve with intel. Day one we talk 130 and up; day three we're reading scrape lines and wind shifts and calling audibles based on what the cameras and the does tell us. We set a simple rule for accountability: draw blood or even cut hair and your hunt is over until the track job is done. There's room here for new bowhunters and veterans alike, with crossbows in the mix for confidence and humane shots when the stakes are high and the heart rate spikes. After the rut push, we pivot to ducks and then back to boats and Road to Pro fishing, because the outdoor calendar never really slows down.If you love practical deer tactics, real camp talk, and the rush of chasing a personal best when the weather flips, this one hits home. Tune in, share it with your hunting crew, and drop a comment with your pass-or-shoot number for a mid-rut buck. And if you're enjoying the show, subscribe, leave a review, and hit the bell so you don't miss what happens when the Big Six finally slips up.OUR WEBSITE/OTC MERCH: https://offtheclockwithbscott.comHAVOC GEAR SHOP: https://havocnation.comHAVOC BOATS WEBSITE: https://havocboats.comHAVOC DEALERS: https://havocboats.com/dealers/WREAKIN' HAVOC CREW WEBSITE: https://wreakinhavoccrew.comSOCIAL LINKSTruth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@OffTheClockwithBScottFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Off-The-Clock-With-B-Scott/61557737220814/Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/OTCwithBScottInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/offtheclockwithbscott/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwu6_wWcXDoBzhpHv4YgZGQRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-5644782Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2g76hRDp9d609LETevSH2U?si=0ba23ae282c94e88&nd=1&dlsi=d9f84d7699b84724Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-clock-with-b-scott/id1734265760

For something that we do every single day, and something that has the power to change every aspect of our life, we sure don't focus on, train, or develop it. And, that thing is conversation. Nothing great ever happened in your life without, first, a conversation – no promotions, no jobs, no clients, no dates, nothing. My guest today, Payam Pakmanesh (known as "The Convo Guy") is here to explain why and, more importantly, how we can build and develop our ability to communicate more effectively. We cover the proper principles of communication, Adlerian Psychology and how it helps you focus on what you can control, the "Zoom Flow" model for deeper connection, how to make yourself more approachable, and becoming aware of how others perceive you.

Welcome to Episode 161 with Abby Kuykendall. Hospitality is not a calling of a few, but of every Christian. Abby, joins the podcast today to talk with Jennifer about how to do hospitality for the naturally inhospitable and the gregarious. Hospitality is about being vulnerable, offering the comfort and the presence of Christ through open doors, warm food, and a place to rest. It doesn't have to be perfect.

Recently, ACT Party MP, Laura McClure, has launched a member's bill, proposing the disestablishment of the Broadcasting Standards Authority, or BSA. This member's bill follows a complaint laid to the BSA regarding Sean Plunket's online media network, The Platform. Plunket says the content of his show does not meet the requirements of the Broadcasting Act, and that the BSA had “"woefully and egregiously overstepped its bounds". The BSA, however, says Plunket's show clearly meets the requirements of the ACT. News and Editorial Director Joel spoke to Peter Thompson, an Associate Media and Communications Professor at the Victoria University of Wellington and board member of the Better Public Media Trust, about this member's bill and what the bill is proposing.
Recently, the controversial Regulatory Standards Bill passed its third and final reading. The bill has raised concerns amongst many for a variety of reasons, including its lack of recognition of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the risks it poses to the environment, and what opponents say is its ‘narrow neoliberal framework'. The bill, during public submissions, received 156,000 submissions, with over 98% voicing their opposition to the proposed legislation. News and Editorial Director Joel spoke to Geoffrey Bertram, a visiting scholar and retired lecturer at the Victoria University of Wellington about the bill, why it is so polarising, and what the passing of this bill means heading forward.

A few weeks ago, Kelston Boys High School in West Auckland said they were at the front of an unsupported, attempted takeover to turn the school into a charter school. As well as this, more recently, the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport, a charter school set to be established next year, was signed with a trust that did not exist. Amendments have also been made to the Education and Training Act, removing a clause requiring school boards give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The move has seen backlash from the National Iwi Chairs Forum and a growing number of schools, who have launched a petition against the move. Finally, the controversial Regulatory Standards Bill has passed its third reading and is now set to be implemented into law. The bill previously received 156,000 public submissions, with 98.7% of those voicing their opposition to the bill. For our weekly catch-up with ACT Party's Simon Court, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to him about these topics. They started off by asking Court about Kelston Boys High School and the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport, and how concerning these developments are for the ACT Party.
Last Week, the government passed the regulatory standards bill into the regulatory standards act. Long controversial, failing to pass in its first three readings and subject to enormous opposition in submissions during the process, the law is the child of David Seymour's ACT party. But now that this law has passed, these serious concerns are of urgency. Particularly there are loud concerns and criticisms of the primacy granted to corporate interests, in the face of te Tiriti o Waitangi and the environment. Monday Wire Producer Alex spoke to Greenpeace Campaigner Gen Toop about the bill passing, what it means for the environment, and what should be done in the face of this policy threat.

Most people avoid the edge because it's uncomfortable, but that's exactly where greatness lives. If you want to be truly great at what you do, you've got to be willing to live where most people only visit — on the edge. In this episode, I talk about what it really means to live on the edge. I'm not talking about being reckless — I'm talking about refusing to be average and choosing to operate where there's pressure and every move counts. Show Notes [03:34]#1 Comfort is your enemy.

The people who criticize your drive usually aren't doing enough themselves. In this episode, Baylor explains why your real growth starts when you set—and protect—your standards. Show Notes: In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee dives into the importance of separating goals from standards—and why the people who say you're "doing too much" are often the ones doing too little. Using real-life insight from his own routines and habits, Baylor challenges you to stop chasing goals that fade and start building standards that last. You'll learn how to define your personal baseline, avoid effort failures, and prepare yourself not just for the next level—but for two levels up. Because when you start living by standards instead of goals, excellence stops being something you reach for and starts being who you are. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why critics often project their own insecurities onto your ambition How to define your minimum standard in every area of life The difference between expectations, goals, and standards Why thinking two levels ahead guarantees growth How living by standards leads to consistency and long-term success Featured Quote: "Stop hoping to hit goals—decide to live by standards. Standards create habits, and habits create the life you want."

This episode continues our coverage of the Ozark Mountain Bigfoot Conference, recorded live in October 2025. In this session, we feature David Zigan's presentation on professionalism and evidence standards in Bigfoot research—but not before the audience gets a dose of laughter and behind-the-scenes fun from Ryan “RPG”, who kicks things off with twenty minutes of hilarious stories from his time working on Finding Bigfoot.Once the laughter fades, David takes the stage to deliver a fascinating and insightful talk on how rigorous documentation, forensic protocols, and transparent methodology can elevate Bigfoot research to a new level of credibility. Drawing from his experience as a crime scene investigator, David explains how applying professional investigative practices—like maintaining field journals, photographing tracks from multiple angles, and preserving evidence correctly—can help bridge the gap between curiosity and scientific acceptance.With humor, honesty, and a deep respect for the subject, this presentation highlights why raising standards in Bigfoot research is essential for moving the field forward. Whether you're a seasoned investigator or simply fascinated by the legend, this session offers both practical tools and thought-provoking perspective.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Alidad Hamidi: The Tax Agile Teams Pay for Organizational Standards Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "If you set targets for people, they will achieve the target, even if that means destroying the system around them." - W. Edwards Deming (quoted by Alidad) The tension is familiar to every Scrum Master working in large organizations: leadership demands standard operating models, flow time metrics below specific numbers, and reporting structures that fit neat boxes. Meanwhile, teams struggle under the weight of context-insensitive measurements that ignore the nuanced reality of their work. Alidad faces this challenge daily—creating balance between organizational demands and what teams actually need to transform and thrive. His approach starts with a simple but powerful question to leaders: "What is it that you want to achieve with these metrics?" Going beyond corporate-speak to have real conversations reveals that most leaders want outcomes, not just numbers. Alidad then involves teams in defining strategies to achieve those outcomes, framing metrics as "the tax we pay" or "the license to play." When teams understand the intent and participate in the strategy, something surprising happens—most metrics naturally improve because teams are delivering genuine value, customers are happy, and team dynamics are healthy. But context sensitivity remains critical. Alidad uses a vivid analogy: "If you apply lean metrics to Pixar Studio, you're gonna kill Pixar Studio. If you apply approaches of Pixar Studio to production line, they will go bankrupt in less than a month." Toyota's production line and Pixar's creative studio both need different approaches based on their context, team evolution, organizational maturity, and market environment. He advocates aligning teams to value delivery with end-to-end metrics rather than individual team measurements, recognizing that organizations operate in ecosystem models beyond simple product paradigms. Perhaps most important is patience. "Try to not drink coffee for a week," Alidad challenges. "Even for a single person, one practice, it's very hard to change your behavior. Imagine for organization of hundreds of thousands of people." Organizations move through learning cycles at their own rhythm. Our job isn't to force change at the speed we prefer—it's to take responsibility for our freedom and find ways to move the system, accepting that systems have their own speed. Self-reflection Question: Which metrics are you applying to your teams without considering their specific context, and what conversation do you need to have with leadership about the outcomes those metrics are meant to achieve?
