This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!For years, investigators have pressed record, held their breath, and waited as voices slipped through the static—names, warnings, fragments of thoughts that shouldn't exist outside a living mind. But the deeper you step into that crackling frequency, the harder it becomes to trust what you hear. Because not every voice sounds like someone who ever walked this Earth.In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the unsettling possibility that the Ghost Box may be opening more than one kind of doorway. Some replies feel warm, familiar—like someone you once loved trying to come closer. Others feel cold, calculated… almost amused. And then there are the responses that answer questions you didn't ask, that mimic voices no one in the room recognizes, that seem to know you a little too well.Are we truly speaking with the dead? Or is something older, hungrier, and far less human using the static as camouflage?#GhostBox #ParanormalInvestigation #SpiritCommunication #EVP #Supernatural #GhostVoices #HauntedTech #TheGraveTalks #ParanormalMystery #BeyondTheStatic Love real ghost stories?

Running is one of the most accessible forms of exercise, offering benefits that extend far beyond cardiovascular fitness. In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Morgan Busko, a sports medicine physician at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia and a competitive triathlete, about the physical and mental rewards of running. Dr. Busko explains why strength training is a critical foundation for runners and discusses how exercises that target the core and gluteal muscles can improve stability and help prevent injuries. She also breaks down the differences between dynamic warmups and static stretching, explaining how proper preparation can support healthier training. The conversation covers practical strategies for runners at every level, from walk-run programs for beginners to training plans for race day. Dr. Busko shares advice on gradually increasing mileage, building endurance safely, and avoiding common training mistakes that can lead to injury. Finally, she discusses the important roles sleep, nutrition, hydration, and recovery play in athletic performance, debunks the myth that running causes arthritis, and offers encouragement for anyone looking to start or return to running. Chapters 00:00 – Why Running Is Good for Body and Mind The physical and mental health benefits of running and why runners keep coming back 03:00 – Getting Started and Building Strength How to return to running after a break, why strength training matters, and exercises that help prevent injuries 06:20 – Training Smarter and Avoiding Injury Dynamic warmups, walk-run programs, race preparation, and common training mistakes 10:00 – Recovery, Fueling, and Running for the Long Term Sleep, nutrition, hydration, injury warning signs, and the myth that running causes arthritis – and tips to enjoy the sport Key Topics Covered Running Running for beginners Sports medicine Running and mental health Cardiovascular health Strength training for runners Injury prevention Core strength Glute strength Dynamic warmups Static stretching Race training Marathon training 5K training Walk-run method Running recovery Sleep and athletic performance Sports nutrition Hydration for runners Energy gels Running motivation Running injuries Arthritis and running Sports performance Healthy exercise habits Key Takeaway Running can improve cardiovascular health, strengthen the body, reduce stress, and support overall well-being, but success starts with a thoughtful approach. Building strength, progressing gradually, prioritizing recovery, and listening to your body can help prevent injuries and make running a sustainable, rewarding part of a healthy lifestyle. Doctor Bio Morgan Busko, MD is a sports medicine physician at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia specializing in the non-operative treatment of chronic and acute musculoskeletal injuries and conditions in adult and pediatric patients. She has a particular interest in endurance athletes, running and overuse injuries, and injury prevention. After completing a residency in Internal Medicine at New York University, where she also received her Medical Degree, Dr. Busko completed a Sports Medicine Fellowship at Wake Forest University. She received her B.S. in Biological Anthropology and Anatomy at Duke University, where she competed in Cross-Country and Track & Field. Dr. Busko is an active endurance athlete who has competed in the Hawaii Ironman World Championship five times, finishing amongst the top triathletes in the world. She finds great reward in helping athletes return to sport safely while facilitating an athlete's ability to reach their optimal athletic performance. She hopes that her passion for exercise as medicine will be contagious to her patients and everyone around her.

TestTalks | Automation Awesomeness | Helping YOU Succeed with Test Automation
Manual testing never died. IoT is the proof. In this episode, Joe Colantonio talks with Oleksii Cherkashyn, a QA team lead, automation engineer, and IoT testing specialist who built a complete test architecture from scratch across hardware, firmware, mobile, web, and API. IoT breaks the usual automation playbook. You are not testing a shopping cart. You are connecting a real microcontroller, flashing a sketch, validating that a physical command produced the right change in a dashboard widget, and then doing the same thing again through the REST API and the mobile app. No marketplace framework covers that, so Oleksii built his own. You'll learn: Why manual QA remains essential in IoT and which cases can never be automated How Oleksii built a custom Node.js library to simulate up to 50,000 device connections for performance testing without buying the hardware Why he chose WebDriverIO over Playwright and the mobile automation reason behind it How he uses WebDriverIO MCP and cloud coding agents every day to create and repair tests The hard truth about dependent test chains and where AI agents still hallucinate How to handle time based scenarios like sleep modes, daily triggers, and delayed notifications Static versus dynamic provisioning, and how to test OTA firmware updates What to do first if your company hands you an IoT device and you have never tested hardware If you work in test automation and you want a look at the layer of testing that AI is not coming for, this one is for you.

Jeff Mains sits down with Logan Yonavjak, a nearly two-decade veteran of impact investing and venture capital, who built the Founder Readiness Institute after watching a promising founding team unravel post-investment. Logan explains why "people risk" — not market or product risk — is the leading cause of startup failure, and how her Founder Readiness Level assessment uses AI-driven quantitative linguistics (rooted in adult developmental psychology) to measure a founder's capacity for complexity, resilience, and coachability. The conversation covers her pivot from selling to VCs to selling to mid-market companies (200–2,000 employees), why she favors partnerships over "owning the whole stack," what building the tool taught her about her own leadership blind spots, and where people analytics is headed as AI reshapes what's left for humans to do.Key Takeaways4:46 — The deal that started it all: a founder who "buckled" after investment closed, and the lesson about charisma bias.7:16 — Why investors spend more time on the pitch deck than on the person who has to execute it.9:18 — The data: ~65% of startup failures trace back to people problems (Noam Wasserman / Harvard Business Review, 10,000 founders studied).10:18 — How the Founder Readiness Level differs from personality tests: it measures developmental stage, not static self-reported traits.13:27 — Why AI made scoring open-ended, scenario-based responses possible at scale (versus hand-coded transcripts).17:30 — What "managing complexity" actually looks like in high-level leaders: holding multiple interdisciplinary frameworks at once.19:15 — The go-to-market mistake: mistaking "this is interesting" for a real, fundable pain point among VCs.21:50 — Repositioning the ICP: C-suite and L&D leaders at Series B/C+ startups in high-innovation industries.29:02 — The Steve Jobs thought experiment: high strategic complexity, likely lower relational intelligence early on.35:04 — Build vs. partner: why "ecosystem builder" is a higher-complexity strategic move than trying to dominate a category.38:32 — The question every founder should be asking themselves: "How coachable am I?"39:17 — Where to find Logan and the assessment (readinessengine.io, LinkedIn).Tweetable Quotes"Charisma is a remarkable camouflage. A great storyteller can make a structurally fragile leadership team look like a dynasty, right up until the growth pressure hits.""We bet on the horse, not the jockey... we say we're betting on the jockey, but we don't give them any tools.""It's not about being better or worse, it's just that it depends on where you would be best situated professionally.""AI has taken the bottom out of [junior-level work]. So what's left for humans to do is actually more complex tasks.""It's a higher level strategic complexity move to be more of an ecosystem builder than someone trying to dominate a market.""How coachable am I? ... that growth mindset to success — everyone should be asking themselves that on a regular basis.""Sixty-five percent of startups don't die because the product was bad. They die because the founder couldn't see themselves clearly when things got hard." — Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership LessonsPeople risk beats market risk. Roughly two-thirds of startup failures trace back to human/leadership breakdowns, not product or timing.Charisma is not a leadership metric. The most compelling storytellers in the room are often the hardest to accurately evaluate.Self-reported assessments have a ceiling. Static, forced-choice tests can be gamed and don't track development over time — open-ended, scenario-based signals are harder to fake.Position around infrastructure, not features. Framing the product as "developmental intelligence infrastructure" rather than another HR tech point-solution avoided category fatigue.Partner before you build or acquire. Complementary players (e.g., behavioral analytics firms) can expand value to shared clients faster than trying to own the entire stack.Coachability and flexible identity predict survival. The founders who pivot fastest under negative market feedback are the ones who don't over-identify with a single idea.Guest Resourceswww.founderready.iohttps://www.facebook.com/loganyonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/loganyonavjak/https://www.instagram.com/loganyon/https://x.com/LoganyonEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Krista Karpan is the CEO and Co-Founder of Milked Media, a performance marketing agency that has spent nearly a decade helping ecommerce brands scale through paid media, creative strategy, and retention marketing.This episode tackles a shift few marketers have caught up to. Interest based targeting on Meta no longer works, and creative has become the real lever for reaching the right audience.Krista walks through how her agency structures Meta and Google campaigns for new and scaling brands, the metrics that actually indicate a winning ad, and why static images still outperform video in categories like fashion. She also breaks down attribution overlap, marketing efficiency ratio, and the supporting systems, from social proof to email nurture, that determine whether paid traffic ever converts.For founders and marketers relying on ad platforms to carry the business alone, this conversation is a reset on what actually drives profitable growth in 2026.Website: https://expanio.com/Podcast website: https://expanio.com/commerce-untold-podcast/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CommerceUntoldGuest: Krista Karpan, CEO and Co-Founder, Milked MediaKrista Karpan's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristakarpan/Milked Media: https://www.milkedmedia.com/Key Takeaways: • Interest-based targeting on Meta no longer works; creative and messaging now determine who sees your ad • Static images still outperform video in categories like fashion, despite the industry's obsession with video content • A brand's Facebook and Instagram profile functions as a landing page and can cost a sale before a visitor ever reaches the website • Marketing efficiency ratio (spend divided by revenue) cuts through inflated platform-reported attribution better than raw ROAS • New ecommerce brands should structure nearly all campaigns around a sales objective rather than brand awareness until spend scales significantly • Meta ads are one piece of an ecosystem; without organic social, email marketing, and a conversion-ready site, ad spend underperformsChapters:[00:30] The Origin of the Milked Media Name[02:14] A Personal Story: Business Owner and Mom of Four[03:31] Why Interest-Based Targeting Stopped Working[06:18] The Metrics That Signal a Winning Ad[09:39] Static Images vs Video: What Actually Performs[11:02] Meta's Partnership Ads and the UGC Marketplace[12:30] Diagnosing Creative vs Targeting vs Site Issues[15:35] Structuring Campaigns for a New Product Launch[18:06] Why Meta Ads Alone Are Not the Full Solution[21:40] Realistic Conversion Rate Benchmarks for 2026[22:15] Winning Meta's Performance Campaign of the Year[24:48] Solving the Attribution Puzzle Across Platforms[28:05] Milked Media's Ideal Client and Ad Spend Minimums[30:19] Where to Find Krista and Milked Media

Many smart, capable experts sit on powerful book ideas for years, not because they can't write, but because they feel overwhelmed about finishing the manuscript and getting it in front of the right readers. Today's guest, Carma Spence, multi-time best-selling, award-winning author and book marketing strategist, helps coaches, consultants, and nonfiction experts turn their books into engines for authority and client attraction by using AI ethically and intelligently across the entire author journey. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Carma shares insights from her upcoming book “Author Ignition,” which gives authors the confidence, clarity, and strategy to treat AI as a creative ally rather than a threat. She and Robert break down what ethical AI use really looks like for authors, why AI detectors are unreliable and often wrong, and how to avoid publishing bland, generic “AI slop” while still taking full advantage of the technology. Carma explains how she weaves AI into her “Road Trip to Authority” signature program, using it at every stage of the book journey to help writers move past the friction points that usually derail projects. From brainstorming and outlining to overcoming writer's block and speeding up marketing tasks, she positions AI as a fast-learning intern: helpful, efficient, but always needing your direction and final human review. They zoom out to the bigger landscape too, looking at the backlash against AI, the mob mentality around calling everything “AI slop,” and the parallels to the early days of self-publishing when quality was questioned but the market eventually matured. Carma shares how she uses AI for images and even music (like transforming old poetry into songs), and why, in many cases, AI is enabling creativity rather than taking money out of artists' pockets. Beyond tools and tactics, Carma challenges authors to wrestle with a deeper strategic question: “What do you want to be known for?” In an age of answer engines and algorithmic recommendations, you can't be known for everything. She talks about narrowing your focus, choosing a niche where you can stand out, and defining your unique “pink gorilla” angle so that your book and brand become memorable and referable instead of blending into the noise. Carma dug into how AI is reshaping education and online courses. Static, teacherless courses are losing their appeal; hybrid models that mix evergreen training with live interaction, Q&A, and community are becoming the new standard. Carma shows how AI can handle the repetitive, time-consuming pieces of content and marketing while you double down on the human side of teaching, coaching, and leading your audience. https://youtu.be/Mpl7JakOCYw?si=GJUF3JKRgP--7LDQ If you're intrigued by AI but worried about losing your voice, or simply overwhelmed by where to start, this episode will help you see how to use AI to amplify your message, finish your book, and market it more effectively without compromising your ethics or authenticity. You'll walk away with a clearer sense of how AI fits into your writing process, your business strategy, and the author brand you want to be known for.

Quotes: “You can use AI if it starts with you and it ends with you, and it's not mass produced. It's unique for each piece.” “Courses without a teacher are no longer very useful. The hybrid model, lessons plus live interaction; is where real transformation happens.” “If everything is slop, then the word means nothing. Being lazy with language says more about you than it does about AI.” Contact Details: Ready to Turn Your Expertise Into a Book That Builds Authority?

For five weeks we've built toward this moment. We established that God never stopped speaking. We named what drowns Him out. We learned to tune in — to be still, to let R.E.A.D. become a daily rhythm. We discovered the difference between the logos God has always spoken and the rhēma — the specific word with your name on it, waiting on a page for the exact day you'd need it. And last week we learned to know His voice with confidence, the way sheep know their Shepherd's. But hearing was never the finish line. This week we ask the question underneath everything: now that you've heard Him — will you actually do what He said? Reception isn't just about picking up a signal. It's about what you do the moment it comes through. A word without obedience is just information. A word obeyed becomes transformation. This is where the series has been leading all along — not toward six more things you know, but toward a life that actually moves when He speaks.

https://teachhoops.com/ If you audit a standard, average basketball practice on a cold Tuesday afternoon in January, you will see a gym overflowing with unintentional friction. You will witness coaches who blow the whistle to deliver ten-minute lectures while twelve players stand completely still, watching their core body temperatures plummet. You will see long, single-file lines where athletes wait passively for two minutes just to take a single, un-contested layup. And you will see head coaches screaming directives on every single possession, acting as a human joystick while their players move like robotic actors. They don't do this maliciously; they do it because "clean" practices feel like real coaching. But when you step into the "Truth Room," you realize that allowing these subtle habits to exist introduces a massive operational leak into your culture. In this episode of Coach Unplugged, recorded live at 5th Quarter Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, Coach Collins flips the clipboard around to outline the non-negotiable Things We Should Avoid at Practice. We break down the absolute poison of low activity density, single-file lines, zero-decision choreography, and coach-fed joystick directives. Discover how purging these six destructive habits from your 120-minute practice script will instantly elevate your team's independent Decision IQ, maximize your game-night Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$), and slide your roster into an unshakeable, player-led standard. To protect your program's unyielding Standard of Tolerance and maximize your team's long-term Resilience Equity, your staff must actively purge these six operational traps from every single practice block: The Leak: Stopping practice to deliver exhaustive, lecture-heavy monologues while players stand frozen on the baseline. The Fix: Banish long huddles during active blocks. Deploy rapid, 60-second "drive-by" socratic corrections on the move. Let The Organizer on your staff police the clock while you deliver sharp, high-signal cues that keep the gears turning. The Leak: Setting up drills where one athlete executes a rep while eleven peers stand behind a cone watching passively. The Fix: Enforce a strict Multi-Ball architecture across all court baskets. Ensure that at least $70%$ of your roster is catching, cutting, or passing concurrently to eliminate hidden boredom leaks and maximize your gym's Activity Density. The Leak: Running scripted, zero-defense drills where the pass, cut, and finish are predetermined before the ball is even inbounded. The Fix: Corrupt every drill with live variables. Add a defender, add a decision, or add a competitive consequence. Force your players to scan live bodies, read collapsing defender hips, and solve dynamic spatial puzzles. The Leak: Screaming instructions on every bounce ("Pass left! Cut now! Shoot it!"), stripping your athletes of their independent decision-making capabilities. The Fix: Put your whistle in your pocket during Small-Sided Games ($SSGs$). Allow your players to fail, adapt, and communicate coverages through the exhaust. Shift your culture from coach-fed compliance to a Player-Led powerhouse. The Leak: Allowing players to shoot comfortable, zero-friction catch-and-shoot jumpers off gentle feeds from a standing passer. The Fix: Require active footwork, spatial cutting geometry, and live high-hands closeouts on every perimeter shot. Game-night shooting efficiency is built through high-stress, contextual repetitions. The Leak: Blowing the whistle to run baseline sprints as a blind punishment for a tactical error, completely severing the mental connection between effort and execution. The Fix: Embed physical strain directly into your competitive drills. If a team turns the ball over or fails to close out with High Hands, put them on defense in a live disadvantage scenario. Teach them how to execute under fatigue rather than just running mindlessly. We don't purge these practice leaks simply to look structured on paper. We eliminate them because dead time, low rep density, and robotic choreography directly destroy your team's mathematical output on Friday night. Every live closeout read, multi-ball pass, and rapid socratic correction directly impacts your team's Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$): When you replace choreography with functional friction during Tuesday's practice, you ensure that your team possesses the structural armor needed to convert high-efficiency looks under heavy postseason pressure. Coach's Note: "Your job as a program builder isn't to run a clean, tidy practice where everybody looks great doing choreographed routines; your job is to build players who can actually play basketball when you aren't saying a word. Stop standing at the whiteboard for ten minutes, stop letting kids stand in single-file lines, and stop playing the game for them from the baseline. Corrupt your drills, clean up your clock, demand high-hands discipline, and force your players to own the room." Title Ideas: 6 Things You MUST Avoid at Basketball Practice!

Ever wonder if your church truly knows the stories behind the global workers the church sends out? For years, many churches have relied on bulletin boards, printed photos, and prayer cards in forgotten corner and narrow hallway to share updates. In a world where people expect information to be immediate, interactive, and accessible, static displays struggle to keep the Church informed. In this episode, host Dennis Wiens visits with Paul Douglas who shares about the interactive technology of Mission Display. This interactive technology uses touchscreen displays that offer missionary profiles, videos, prayer requests, websites, and QR codes that make it easy to engage in real time. This turns mission awareness from a passive glance into an active experience. Listen to this episode to learn the following: How to turn a static mission board into an engaging, digital experience that captures attention and inspires prayer and giving The mechanics behind interactive displays, from maps to digital prayer cards and embedded videos Why churches across the country are embracing this approach to foster deeper global connections How security and privacy are built into the system, ensuring sensitive missionary data stays protected The future vision: live video, direct communication, and tools to engage younger generations in God's global mission This is essential listening for pastors, missions leaders, and church tech enthusiasts eager to harness technology for meaningful ministry impact. If your goal is to energize your congregation around missions and foster authentic global partnerships, this episode shows you how to leap into the future of church communication.

Fear shows up in every business. But it does not always mean the same thing. Sometimes fear is a useful warning that deserves your attention. Sometimes it is Static trying to keep you inside familiar boundaries. And sometimes the way you respond can pull you into one of two costly extremes: rushing ahead to prove something, or stopping so often that you lose your momentum. In this episode, Erin and Steve explore how to tell the difference. They look at why "feel the fear and do it anyway" can become a dangerous rule when it replaces discernment, and how defensiveness around a new idea may be a signal to pause before committing your time, money, or team. This conversation offers a steadier way to work with fear. Instead of treating it as an enemy or as a dare, you can examine what it is protecting, listen for any useful information, and decide whether the next Lantern calls for movement or restraint. You'll hear: • How to distinguish protective fear from fear that maintains the status quo • Why defensiveness around a business idea is worth examining • The two speeds of fear, and how each one disrupts steady progress • How self-acceptance changes the decisions you make under pressure • Why trusted support helps turn fear into useful information If you want support making clear, steady decisions for your business, begin with a Start Session. This focused coaching experience helps you work with the Static in the way and leave with a practical next step: https://besuperabound.com/consultation You can also join Erin's Return on Joy newsletter for a weekly reminder that business and life are meant to include more than the hard things: https://besuperabound.com/collective

“Head Noise” is a raw and hope-filled series about the battle in our minds. Anxiety, fear, lies, and pressure are loud—but God's truth is louder. Over four weeks, we'll break the silence on battles beneath the surface, face fear and worry, shine light into dark places, and learn how to flip the script with God's Word. It's okay to not be okay—but God won't leave us there.
We began this series in John 10, where Jesus makes a simple but staggering claim: His sheep know His voice, and they won't follow a stranger. That's not a throwaway line — it's the whole reason discernment is even possible. God's voice isn't unfamiliar static you have to decode from scratch. It has a consistent tone, a consistent character, a consistent content.This week we'll look at John 16, where Jesus tells us exactly what the Holy Spirit's voice sounds like — what He consistently speaks about, and just as importantly, what He never sounds like. Because here's the danger: not every voice claiming to be God actually is. Some voices flatter. Some voices condemn. Only one voice does both truth and love at the same time.If you've ever wondered, "How do I know if that was God, my own thoughts, or something else entirely?" — this is the message for you.Come ready to know His voice with confidence.CLEAR THE STATIC. HEAR HIS VOICE.
San Diego Comic-Con delivered one of the biggest news weekends of the year, and we're digging into all of it on this week's AIPT Comics Podcast. We break down DC's latest Next Level announcements, including new ongoing series for Vixen, Static, Batman, The Demon, and Jonah Hex, react to Marvel's Predator vs. Punisher, unpack Christian Ward's newly announced Pandemonium, and even talk about Ryan Gosling's surprising Ghost Rider reveal. If it made headlines at SDCC, we're giving it the full AIPT treatment. After that, David sits down with Christian Ward to discuss Forever Home, his ambitious new Oni Press series with Sami Kivelä. Ward explains how the story grew from a simple yet unforgettable premise: a house that survives climate collapse by falling outside of time, where every 20 minutes inside equals a year in the outside world. The conversation explores the book's emotional family drama, its retro-futuristic design, climate anxiety, billionaire bunkers, and why Kivelä's storytelling elevates every page. Ward also reflects on balancing writing and art, teases what's next in his career, and shares why Forever Home is one of his most personal creator-owned projects to date.

Liam & Cal are feeling a little green at the gills for the month of August, just in time for the anticipated live-action series Lanterns! To celebrate, the brothers are set up for their second celebration of the intergalactic space police with an entire Green Lantern month! This week covers the extremely memorable crossover between Dakota's finest hero Static and John Stewart of the Lantern Corps.

As a business owner, you know how to get things done. You can meet the deadline, make the hard decision, and carry the work across the finish line. But if the only way you know how to finish is through pressure, self-scolding, and one last exhausting push, the win can start to feel strangely expensive. In this episode, Erin explores a more generous way to complete meaningful work without draining the very creativity, clarity, and joy that made the work possible in the first place.This is not about lowering your standards or "letting yourself off the hook." It is about learning how to stay devoted to the finish line without abandoning yourself on the way there. You'll hear how to recognize when some tasks may not need as much time or complexity as you have been taught to expect, and how your Personal Filter can help protect your creative energy when you are close to the end. If you are working on something that matters and you can feel the old pattern of pushing, forcing, or overcomplicating starting to take over, this conversation will help you find a steadier way forward. You'll hear: Why getting a lantern lit can feel more exhausting than it needs to How to make necessary extra work feel more humane What inherited rules about time and effort may be costing you How to protect your creative energy near the finish line If you want support finishing your important work without taxing your whole system, begin with a Start Session. This focused coaching experience helps you clarify what you are creating, work with any Static in the way, and leave with a practical plan for moving forward: https://besuperabound.com/consultation

The attack window from the discovery of a vulnerability to its exploitation has shrunk to less than 24 hours and sometimes down to just 25 minutes. Is your security team prepared for the speed of AI-driven attacks?In this episode, Ashish sits down with Sarit Tager, who leads Cortex Cloud product management at Palo Alto Networks, to discuss why the post-Mythos era is forcing Cloud Security and AppSec out of their traditional silos. Sarit explains how AI coding agents prioritize generating code over securing it, which can sometimes result in flaws like accidentally deleting production databases within two weeks.We also explore how English has become the new primary programming language, effectively making everyone a potential developer. Sarit breaks down why relying solely on cloud posture management is no longer enough and why deploying active runtime agents is now mandatory to block real-time exploits.Guest Socials - Sarit's Linkedin Podcast Twitter - @CloudSecPod If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube- Cloud Security Newsletter If you are interested in AI Security, you can check out our sister podcast - AI Security Podcast(00:00) Introduction: The Convergence of Cloud and AppSec(01:50) Sarit Tager's Background: From VP of Engineering to Palo Alto Networks(03:00) Why English is the New Programming Language(06:00) The Problem with LLMs Suggesting AppSec Fixes That Break Functionality(09:30) How AI Agents Can Accidentally Delete Production Databases(11:40) The Attack Window Shrinking to 25-30 Minutes(14:00) The Post-Mythos Fear and the Token Cost Challenge(16:30) Why You Must Deploy a Runtime Agent (Posture is Not Enough)(18:30) Why AI Coding Agents Put Security Second(24:00) Breaking the Silos: The Rise of Holistic Product Security(36:00) How AI Empowers Non-Experts to Investigate Across Security Domains(40:30) Fun Questions: 50 Countries, No Social Media, and Japanese FoodThank you to Palo Alto Networks for sponsoring this episode:Learn more about Palo Alto Networks Cortex Cloud.
Static career maps, spreadsheets and disconnected HR systems can't keep pace with how quickly jobs are changing. Today's leading employers are rebuilding their workforce architecture around skills. As companies rethink talent, career growth and workforce strategy, becoming a skills-based organization is emerging as a fundamental shift in how enterprises structure roles, create career pathways and develop their people.In this episode, Matt sits down with Liz Eversoll, CEO of Career Highways, to explore how a skills-based approach can help large enterprises solve one of their biggest workforce challenges: understanding the talent they already have and responding to change faster. They discuss how organizations can map and continuously improve role architecture in a fraction of the time, deliver personalized learning aligned to each employee's career goals, and give people greater visibility into lateral moves, upward mobility and entirely new career pathways across the enterprise. At the same time, leaders gain real-time intelligence into workforce capabilities, emerging skills gaps and where learning investments will have the greatest business impact.The conversation also explores the technology making this possible. Liz explains why deterministic AI, grounded in business context rather than public data alone, is essential for trusted workforce intelligence. She argues that as AI automates more routine work, people with deep business context become even more valuable. The future isn't about replacing employees. It's about giving them better information, accelerating career growth and freeing them to focus on the work where human judgment creates the greatest value.In this episode:Why 3,500 roles and 230 career pathways can't live in spreadsheets anymoreThe career lattice: Finding your next role with an 80% skills matchSIGN, Canon and Liquid Insights: The technology behind deterministic AIWhy business context becomes more valuable as AI automates routine work“Talk to your data”: The future of decision-level workforce intelligence3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Becoming a skills-based organization changes how enterprises compete. Managing talent through job titles and static career paths is no longer enough. Skills-based job architecture gives organizations a living view of their workforce, helping leaders adapt faster, make better workforce decisions and align learning, hiring and internal mobility with changing business needs. It's a fundamental shift in how large enterprises understand and develop talent.2. Career health is a competitive advantage. When employees can clearly see where they can go, understand the skills they need and access personalized learning, they're more likely to build their careers within the organization. That improves retention, preserves valuable business context and helps employers fill critical roles with people who already understand the business instead of constantly competing for outside talent.3. AI works best when it's grounded in business context. AI isn't replacing workforce strategy. It's making it smarter. Deterministic AI and enterprise knowledge give leaders trusted workforce intelligence while automating repetitive work that slows people down. As AI handles more routine tasks, employees with deep business context become even more valuable because they're the ones who can interpret insights, improve processes and create lasting business value.Resources in this Episode:Career Highways - Learn more about their technology, solution, AI services and moreFind more on the show notes page! https://techedpodcast.com/eversoll/Connect with our guest online:Career Pathways LinkedIn | Connect with Liz on LinkedInWe want to hear from you!

How much of your research lives and dies on the bench? Not because the idea isn't sound, but because building reproducible, scalable biomaterials remains an unsolved puzzle.Jan Hunik and Matt Baker from MosaMatrix discuss the practical challenges and lessons learned from spinning out a biomaterials company from academia. They explore the importance of quality standards in biotech startups, building a team with complementary skills, and the realities of developing reproducible 3D culture systems for modern research.Topics discussed:The critical gap between invention and reliable biomaterial products (00:40)Building company culture around quality standards from day one (02:45)Balancing scientific curiosity and business direction as co-founders (03:51)The impact of university partnerships on early-stage company development (06:02)Funding challenges and strategies for sustaining a biotech startup (06:47)Advice for scientists on addressing real market needs versus pushing technology (07:50)The importance of listening to customers and investors to find product-market fit (09:19)Vision for scaling technology and breaking even in the next two to three years (10:06)New frontiers in engineering living materials and animal-free biomaterials (12:04)Smart insight: The MosaMatrix team believes good materials are key to unlocking advances in drug discovery, cellular agriculture, and engineered living materials. Their story is a testament to how integrating rigorous science, business discipline, and a razor focus on real-world needs can create the foundation for lasting innovation in biotech.If this conversation got you thinking about biomaterials, scale-out manufacturing, and what it takes to turn a chemistry breakthrough into a fundable company, these episodes explore the same ground from complementary angles.Episodes 221 - 222: From 2D Cultures to Advanced 3D Cell Models for Preclinical Research with Catarina BritoEpisodes 259 - 260: Why Strong Science Isn't Enough to Get Funded: What Investors Actually Look For with Michael RomeEpisodes 265 - 266: From Human Variability to Automated Precision: Accelerating Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing Scale-Out with Farlan VeraitchEpisodes 223 - 224: From Cultivated Meat to Chocolate: Rethinking Cellular Agriculture Scale-Up with Steven LangConnect with Jan Hunik and Matt Baker:Emails: matt.baker@mosamatrix.com and jan.hunik@mosamatrix.comWebsite: www.mosamatrix.comLinkedIn Jan Hunik: www.linkedin.com/in/jan-hunik-0183734LinkedIn Matt Baker: www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-baker-0abb981bSupport the show

Freddie Bigg built from Bay Area middleman to cultivation partner. Here is what that journey actually cost and what it paid.Freddie Bigg started as a middleman in the pre-legal Bay Area market and made the call at exactly the right time: when recreational Cannabis launched, he partnered with SF Canna in 2019 and Planta in 2023, moving from distributor to cultivator. This is his third appearance on Good PizzZa Podcast, and the game has changed dramatically since the first one.In this conversation, Freddie breaks down why the "go direct to the farm" advice circulating online is getting people's heads knocked off on price, how the race to the bottom in Cannabis pricing destroys the value of product that operators should be protecting, and what it actually means to have relationships versus thinking you have them. He runs through the current Planta strain menu including Biscotti, Gelato 41, Gelonade, Coffin Candy, 11 Coffins, Red Hots, and the Zangria cross, and makes the case that flavor chasing in competition judging has quietly undercut the thing 100 percent of smokers actually want: to get high. The Toad conversation hits hard here because Freddie had early access, posted it, watched his account get deleted from the response, and has it in production at both operations.The macro conversation is where this episode gets interesting for anyone building a Cannabis brand right now. Freddie draws the Napa Valley comparison for Northern California sun-grown Cannabis once interstate commerce opens, explains how the first wave of legalization sent operators into what he calls the shores of Normandy, and traces why the operators still standing are mostly the ones who kept it solid from the beginning. The Static hash export market and the Doja Pak Germany story add an international layer that most California-focused conversations skip entirely.Freddie Bigg is one of the people in this industry who can back up everything he says with receipts. JP and Freddie have been building together since episode one of this show. This one is for the operators, the builders, and anyone who wants to know what the game actually looks like from inside it.Y'all know what time it is…Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we're about to take this journey with Freddie Bigg!✌
What if the real obstacle in 3D cell culture and tissue engineering isn't the cells, but the very ground they grow on?For years, cell culture has relied on flat plastic and passive scaffolds. But biology doesn't happen on a petri dish—cells live in three dimensions, surrounded by a dynamic environment that talks back, adapts, and shapes development in ways static gels simply cannot.That's the premise behind MosaMatrix, a novel hydrogel platform designed to transform how we grow cells, engineer tissues, and screen new drugs created by CEO Jan Hunik and CTO Matt Baker.Topics discussed:Why traditional flat, 2D cell culture misses the biological mark and what a responsive cell environment really looks like (00:27)The origins of MosaMatrix and the realization that new, adaptive hydrogels were needed for dynamic cell culture (04:45)What makes the MosaMatrix hydrogel different—and why passive scaffolds fall short (06:12)Mechanical and biological characteristics that define hydrogel performance, from stiffness to stress relaxation (07:48)The company's pivot from 3D tissue printing to focusing on high-throughput 3D cell culture for drug discovery (08:42)Advantages of a non-animal-derived, reproducible matrix for research and industry (10:20)Strategies for obtaining real-world customer feedback and working in consortia with academia and industry partners (11:51)Key hurdles in quality control, reproducibility, and measuring success in the emerging field (16:05)Challenges with standardizing organoids and the move to smaller, more automatable culture systems (17:50)The impact of automation and data consistency for scaling up 3D cell culture (18:14)Smart insight: MosaMatrix validates its hydrogel not through internal R&D alone, but through direct collaboration with academic and industry partners — testing performance across cell types and culture media. This includes a ~50-company consortium building next-gen 3D cell culture tools and a new consortium improving kidney dialysis with living human cells. The partnerships surface real variables, like how much culture media composition affects results, that continually shape product development.If this conversation got you thinking about biomaterials, scale-out manufacturing, and what it takes to turn a chemistry breakthrough into a fundable company, these episodes explore the same ground from complementary angles.Episodes 221 - 222: From 2D Cultures to Advanced 3D Cell Models for Preclinical Research with Catarina BritoEpisodes 259 - 260: Why Strong Science Isn't Enough to Get Funded: What Investors Actually Look For with Michael RomeEpisodes 265 - 266: From Human Variability to Automated Precision: Accelerating Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing Scale-Out with Farlan VeraitchEpisodes 223 - 224: From Cultivated Meat to Chocolate: Rethinking Cellular Agriculture Scale-Up with Steven LangConnect with Jan Hunik and Matt Baker:Emails: matt.baker@mosamatrix.com and jan.hunik@mosamatrix.comWebsite: www.mosamatrix.comLinkedIn Jan Hunik: www.linkedin.com/in/jan-hunik-0183734LinkedIn Matt Baker: www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-baker-0abb981bSupport the show
In this episode the guys break down six ways to build bulletproof joints — proper strength training, unilateral training, static stretching post-workout, mobility drills, hydration with high protein diet, and consistent sleep. They cover why joints actually strengthen rather than wear down with proper use, why MAPS Symmetry alone solves most chronic pain issues without targeted correctional exercise, and why CNS tightening after workouts causes the low back pain people feel hours later at night. They also get into a new study showing probiotics plus protein powder outperforms protein powder alone for strength gains, creatine reducing anxiety in 95% of postmenopausal women, Sal's return to jiu jitsu and the cardio humbling he's getting from a one-year practitioner, Doug's 4th of July river rafting trip on the American River, Sal's son's emotional breakdown watching the USA World Cup loss, and Adam going deep on the Vuori wetsuit situation.
