Most of us were taught to either stuff our emotions down or get swept away by them. But what if there's a third way...one that lets us feel fully without being ruled completely?This week, we explore what Scripture and neuroscience reveal about emotional wisdom. Through Psalm 42, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Philippians, we talk about naming what we feel, holding it with honesty, and learning to stay present without spiraling. Emotional maturity isn't about perfection...it's about choosing a better rhythm: noticing, naming, breathing, praying, and trying again.TNL Church: Growing into the people we're created to be as we join God to incite love, reduce suffering, and increase joy.

The legal industry is undergoing a profound transformation as artificial intelligence moves from an experimental concept to an essential tool. Advanced systems like Agentic RAG are revolutionizing workflows, enabling tasks that once took weeks, such as complex M&A due diligence, to yield key obligations and renewal dates in minutes, dramatically reducing contract review time by up to 80%. However, this power demands unprecedented ethical responsibility and human oversight. Attorneys must vigilantly confront the risk of AI "hallucinations," the generation of fake legal citations that has already led to professional sanctions in court proceedings, ensuring meticulous verification and adherence to the duties of competence and diligence. Furthermore, firms must establish robust governance frameworks to keep sensitive client data private and secure, preventing potential breaches of attorney-client privilege and non-compliance with regulations like the UK GDPR. This shift toward technology-driven efficiency is compelling law firms to rethink old business models, as AI adoption places significant financial pressure on the traditional billable hour, necessitating a focus on clean data and hybrid AI-human workflows to define the future of practice.How Agentic RAG Is Transforming Legal Workflows And Redefining Attorney Efficiency2025-10-21 | Forbes.comStartup law firm wants to ‘live and breathe technology'2025-10-21 | Computer WeeklyInside $5bn Harvey: Chief business officer John Haddock on scaling a legal AI powerhouse2025-10-21 | NonBillable.co.ukLaw Firm Metrics: Why Law Firms Struggle with Data Chaos (and What to Do About It)2025-10-21 | Articles, Tips and Tech for Law Firms and LawyersLawyerist Podcast How to Stay Human in the Age of AI-Driven Law Firm Marketing, with Conroy Creative2025-10-21 | Legal Talk NetworkWhere AI and Legality Collide2025-10-21 | Prevue Meetings & IncentivesLegalOn Buys Fides, Expands Beyond Contract AI2025-10-21 | Artificial LawyerHarvey: Inside the $5bn legal AI startup taking over Big Law with chief business officer John Haddock2025-10-21 | NonBillable.co.ukWestminster launches new Centre for Legal Education and the Legal Profession to shape next generation of lawyers2025-10-21 | University of WestminsterFunding Success: Syntracts Secures $5.3M for Legal AI Growth2025-10-21 | InvestorsHangout.comJuro Goes Direct to ChatGPT For Contract AI2025-10-21 | Artificial LawyerWaymo's driverless taxi UK rollout puts legal system to the test2025-10-21 | City A.M.Exclusive: James Grandage joins Alt-V Law as legal transformation advisor2025-10-21 | Legal IT InsiderHearing People Out: AI and Access to Justice Case Studies from Australia2025-10-21 | Legaltech on MediumAI Accountability and Governance in Focus: Complaint Filed in DC District Court for AI Transparency in Federal Government, and Senate NDAA's Strategic Vision for AI — AI: The Washington Report2025-10-21 | Mintz LevinA nearly 100-year-old Swiss magazine builds a powerful ecosystem on top of legal services and AI2025-10-20 | INMA.orgData Debt, Diversity, and the Business of Law: A Conversation with BigHand's Catherine Krow2025-10-20 | 3 Geeks and a Law BlogAgentic AI: From statistical patterns to strategic partners2025-10-20 | Legal.ThomsonReuters.comThe Most Innovative Law Schools of 2025: Leading the Future of Legal Education2025-10-20 | JDJournalWhy State AI Laws Are Hurting Innovation and Your Bottom Line2025-10-20 | BlawgITAwards Restore Faith In The Profession — At Least For One Night2025-10-20 | Above The LawPreparing for the Legal AI Era with Ed Walters | ClioCon 20252025-10-20 | On the Road Podcast - Legal Talk NetworkHow It Works: A Demo of Eve Legal's Call Intake for Law Firms2025-10-20 | LawSitesLexisNexis Announces Commercial Availability of Protg General AI in Lexis+ AI2025-10-20 | WebWire | Recent HeadlinesVals Legal AI Research Eval – The Aftermath2025-10-20 | Artificial Lawyer

Our U.S. Media & Entertainment Analyst Benjamin Swinburne discusses how GenAI is transforming content creation, distribution and also raising some serious ethical questions. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ben Swinburne, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Media and Entertainment Analyst. Today – GenAI is poised to shake up the entertainment business. It's Wednesday, July 23, at 10am in New York.It's never been easier to create art for anyone – with a little help from GenerativeAI. You can transform photos of yourself or loved ones in the style of a popular Japanese movie studio or any era of visual art to your liking. You can create a short movie by simply typing in a few prompts. Even I can speak to youin several different languages. I can ask about the weather:Hvordan er været i dag?Wie ist das wetter heute?आज मौसम कैसा है? In the media and entertainment industry, GenAI is expected to bring about a seismic shift in how content is made and consumed. A recent production used AI to de-age actors and recreate the likeness of a deceased performer—cutting what used to take hundreds of VFX artists a year to just a few months with a small team. There are many other examples of how GenAI is revolutionizing how stories are told, from scriptwriting and editing to visual effects and dubbing. In music, GenAI is helping music labels identify emerging talent and generate new compositions. GenAI can even create songs using the voices of long-gone artists – potentially extending revenue far beyond an artist's lifetime. GenAI-driven tools have the potential to reduce TV and film production costs by 10–30 percent, with animation and post-production among the biggest savings opportunities. GenAI could also transform how content reaches audiences. Recommendation engines can become even more predictive, using behavioral data to serve up exactly what listeners want—sometimes before we know what we want. And there's more studios can achieve in post production. GenAI can already dub content in multiple languages, even syncing mouth movements to match the new dialogue. This makes global distribution faster, cheaper, and more culturally relevant. With better engagement comes better monetization. Platforms will use GenAI to introduce new pricing tiers, targeted advertising, and personalized superfan content that taps into niche audiences willing to pay more. But all this innovation brings up profound ethical concerns. First, there's the issue of consent and copyright. Can GenAI tools legally use an actor's name, likeness or voice? Then there's the question of authorship. If an AI writes a script or composes a song, who owns the rights? The creator or the GenAI model? Labor unions are understandably worried. In 2023, AI was a major sticking point in negotiations between Hollywood studios and writers' and actors' guilds. The fear? That AI could replace human jobs or devalue creative work. There are also legal battles. Multiple lawsuits are underway over whether AI models trained on copyrighted material without permission violate intellectual property laws. The outcomes of these cases could reshape the entire industry. But here's a big question no one can ignore: Will audiences care if content is AI-generated? Some consumers are fascinated by AI-created music or visuals, while others crave the emotional depth and authenticity that comes from human storytelling. Made-by-humans could become a premium label in itself. Now, despite GenAI's rapid rise, not every corner of entertainment is vulnerable. Live sports, concerts, and theater remain largely insulated from AI disruption. These experiences thrive on real-time emotion, unpredictability, and human connection—things AI can't replicate. In an AI-saturated world, the value of live events and sports rights will rise, favoring owners of sports rights and live platforms. So where do we go from here? By and large, we're entering an era where storytelling is no longer limited by budget or geography. GenAI is lowering the barriers to entry, expanding the creative class, and reshaping the economics of media. The winners in this new landscape will likely be companies that can scale—platforms with massive user bases, deep data pools, and the engineering talent to integrate GenAI seamlessly. But there's also room for agile newcomers who can innovate faster than the incumbents and disrupt the disrupters. No doubt, as the tools get better, the questions get harder. And that's where the real story begins. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

The following article of the Tech industry is: “How Automation Empowers SMEs to Stay Human” by  Shelley Pursell, Director of Marketing for Latam and Iberia, Hubspot.

What does it mean to be human? During a time of such turmoil, it's disheartening and maddening to see injustice all around. How do we center the principles of staying human during a time so full of inhumanity? Presence may just be the key to staying awake and compassionate during this moment. When we remove the unnecessary distractions of modern life, we open the door to a more intentional and dignified way of existing. From this place, we can remember how to stay human… together.  What am I reading?Rewitched by Lucy Jane Woodhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593820070You Need a Budget by Jesse Mecham https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780062567581https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?American Idiot by Greenday What's for dinner?Summer Garden Pasta by Ina Garten Ingredients:4 pints cherry tomatoes, halvedGood olive oil2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)18 large basil leaves, julienned, plus extra for serving½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakesKosher salt½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1 pound dried angel hair pasta1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for servingInstructions: Combine the cherry tomatoes, ½ cup olive oil, garlic, basil leaves, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a large bowl.  Cover with plastic wrap, and set aside at room temperature for about 4 hours.Just before you're ready to serve, bring a large pot of water with a splash of olive oil and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil and add the pasta.  Cook al dente according to the directions on the package (be careful – it only takes 2 to 3 minutes!).  Drain the pasta well and add to the bowl with the cherry tomatoes.  Add the cheese and some extra fresh basil leaves and toss well.  Serve in big bowls with extra cheese on each serving.https://barefootcontessa.com/recipes/summer-garden-pastaFrozen Chocolate Covered BananasIngredients:4 bananas12 ounces chocolate chips2 Tablespoons coconut oil1/4 cup shredded coconut or sprinkles1/4 cup chopped nuts Instructions:Remove the peel from the bananas and cut them in half.

This is a deeply personal episode. But it's also a very public episode, as what we're talking about has been all over the news and social media. Today I'm addressing what's going on in LA right now.  As the son of immigrants, this isn't theoretical for me, but I'm not pretending to have all the answers. I want to help us ask better questions, because when we ask better questions, we hear better stories. And when we hear better stories, we become better humans.  This isn't a hot take, and I'm not pushing an agenda. I truly believe that curiosity is more powerful than certainty.

In today's Workday Playdate Snack, we're talking about the kind of trust fall that doesn't involve closing your eyes and hoping Linda from Accounting catches you. Nope—we're talking about the invisible, emotional kind. The one that happens during reorgs, layoffs, and those delightfully vague “strategic shifts” when your team is quietly wondering, “Are we safe? Can we trust you? Or should I start updating my LinkedIn headline to ‘Open to Work'?” If you're leading through change (or just trying to survive it)—this snack is for you. The Problem: Here's the situation: Your company is “reimagining,” “realigning,” or “restructuring”—aka, no one knows what's actually happening. And while the all-hands slides say “exciting opportunities ahead,” your team is refreshing their résumés and watching your every move. Why? Because trust doesn't disappear in a reorg—it falls. And someone's gotta catch it. That someone? You. Trust isn't built through promises—it's built through presence. Through honesty. Through leaders who are willing to say: “Here's what I know. Here's what I don't. And here's what I do know—we'll figure it out together.” The Improv Hack to Try: The “Yes, And… But Also” Technique Here's how to lead when everything's unclear—without pretending to have all the answers.Use this structure when delivering change or uncertainty: “Yes, and…” to validate what's real and open space for what's possible “But also…” to acknowledge fears and bring humanity into the room  Try this: “Yes, we're going through changes, and I know that can feel unsettling. But also—I believe in this team's ability to stay connected and support one another.” It's not spin. It's not sugarcoating. It's leadership that's rooted in reality and hope. Try it at your next team meeting. Watch what happens when trust stops falling—and starts rising.

AI is helpful—but have you ever felt “zotto” (a chill)? I talk about 3 major fears people have about AI, including privacy, job loss, and deepfakes. Then I share my own moment of unease when I realized I enjoyed chatting with AI more than with a new person. What does that mean for our future? I also share my simple idea for staying human—meeting face-to-face, and making real memories.

Welcome to Critical Magic Theory, where we deconstruct the Wizarding World of Harry Potter—because loving something doesn't mean we can't be critical of it. This week's Prof Response tackles one of our most emotional episodes to date: Remus Lupin. But before diving in, we confront a real-world reality—J.K. Rowling's continued advocacy for trans-exclusionary laws and the heartbreak of deciding whether we can still use her text for good. Spoiler: we think we can. And we explain why. From there, we wrestle with listener reflections on shame, love, and the monsters society creates—both literal and metaphorical. We discuss Fenrir Greyback as a disturbing allegory for institutional bias, analyze Lupin's internalized fear, and ask hard questions about fatherhood, failure, and trying to be good in a world that tells you you're not. This is a deep one. But it's also a reminder of why this podcast—and this kind of critical thinking—matters.

Together, they explore how emotional intelligence, curiosity, and local action can help us bridge divides that feel increasingly entrenched, especially around politics, race, and masculinity.

Have you ever wondered if we're slowly losing our humanity in the rush to adopt AI? Every day, another marketer proclaims they've automated their entire workflow, created the perfect AI system, or generated flawless content. But what if perfection isn't what your audience really wants? The truth is, we're facing an unprecedented challenge in marketing. As AI tools become more sophisticated, they're creating a world of perfect content, pristine images, and meticulously crafted messages. But in this pursuit of perfection, we're at risk of losing the very thing that makes marketing effective - our human touch. That's why I'm thrilled to welcome long-time friend and colleague Mark Schaefer to the show today.

Mark has worked with organizations like Microsoft, Adidas, and Johnson & Johnson, helping them navigate the intersection of technology and human connection in marketing. The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Mark Schaefer about: ✨ Human Authenticity Wins: Creating authentic, imperfect content that resonates with real people outperforms AI-generated perfection. ✨ Balance is Critical: Success lies in finding the sweet spot between AI efficiency and human creativity. ✨ Shared Experiences Matter: Building community and creating shared moments will become increasingly valuable in an AI-driven world.

Juliana Schroeder, Associate Professor at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, unpacks the evolving dynamics of communication in the human-machine era. Juliana dives into the intersection of human and machine interaction, highlighting how technological advancements like generative AI are reshaping how we connect, collaborate, and convey ideas. From leveraging paralinguistic cues to mastering the art of switching between communication modalities, Juliana emphasizes the timeless value of empathy, adaptability, and emotional intelligence in navigating a world increasingly mediated by technology. Key Highlights of Our Interview: The Mind Behind the Machine “AI isn't just changing technology; it's reshaping how we think, act, and perceive power. When virtual assistants act human-like, they give users a psychological boost that can even alter decision-making.” Confirmation Bias Central “When users consult ChatGPT, it often mirrors their ideas, reinforcing their thoughts. It's a colleague that nods a lot but rarely challenges, creating a unique kind of echo chamber.” Medium Matters “From text to video to voice, the platform you choose shapes how your message lands. Want to make a strong first impression? Skip the text and go for face-to-face—or at least a well-delivered elevator pitch.” Humanize the Experience “Paralinguistic cues—like tone of voice and facial expressions—are what make conversations truly human. To connect, think beyond words and embrace the richness of full-spectrum communication.” High Stakes, High Scrutiny “In critical domains like hiring, people demand transparency. The idea of an algorithm handling everything creates unease, sparking backlash when decisions feel like they emerge from a ‘black box.'” _________________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Juliana Schroeder, PHD Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

In the wake of failure, defeat, depression or just negative feelings. It is of utmost importance to think positive. I personally believe because humanity is smashing particles together with the LHC in Switzerland. That we as a species are more able now than anytime in modern history, to capture the direct power of the universe to deliver what it is that we are thinking. It may sound fairy tales and magic. But the quantum world is being observed by humanity. Which on its own accord behaves stranger than fiction. So you really have everything to gain. Go be positive today. Stay Human
