These tools don't just help you stay on top of things, but they can also improve client relationships, which is crucial when you're managing multiple properties or dealing with clients who expect nothing less than excellence. You'll hear about how these systems help me keep everything ticking along smoothly, giving me the space to focus on the bigger picture, like building stronger relationships and scaling the business.I hope you'll be inspired to incorporate more technology into your day-to-day operations. Automating repetitive tasks is a game-changer, and with the right systems in place, you can reduce stress and create a business that not only survives but thrives.

Chris Duffin is joined by Anthony Castor for an in-depth exploration of peptides and their role in optimizing health, training, and recovery. Together, they break down the complexities of building peptide protocols—discussing how to identify bottlenecks in your own training or wellness, the art and science of combining interventions effectively (without overcomplicating or wasting resources), and why understanding cellular pathways and mechanisms of action matters.  Whether you're curious about cellular medicine, looking to fine-tune your supplement stack, or just want sharper tools in your resilience toolbox, this episode offers practical, actionable wisdom to help you get the most out of your health and performance strategies—without unnecessary complexity. Let's get started!   Here are my top three takeaways from the episode: Precision Beats Overload: When it comes to peptides (and training), more isn't always better. Identify your “bottlenecks” and use the least amount of intervention necessary. Streamline your approach and only deploy peptides with mechanisms that authentically support your goals. Understand the Mechanisms: Before layering in another supplement or peptide, take the time to map out which cellular pathways you want to target—and avoid overlap or counterproductive combinations. Knowing howsomething works is crucial to making smart choices (the “why” matters, not just the “what”). Continuous Assessment is Key: Monitor progress with clear performance indicators—whether that's lab work, improved cognition, or how you feel. Be ready to adjust your protocol, rotate interventions, and remove what you no longer need.   This episode of the ARCHITECT of RESILIENCE podcast is available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube, and is sponsored by  @marekhealth : Performance. Longevity. Optimization.

Editors - Nona Khodai ACE and Tim Roche The Fantastic Four: First Steps sees editors Nona Khodai and Tim Roche reunite for the 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the second reboot of the Fantastic Four film series.  The film also marks the first time the two have worked together since Marvel's live action series debut, WandaVision.  Although each had worked with him separately before, WandaVision was the first time both Nona and Tim worked with director Matt Shakman on a Marvel project. The Fantastic Four: First Steps takes place in 1964, as the world celebrates the fourth anniversary of astronauts Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm becoming the superhero team known as the Fantastic Four (Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing).  But the celebration doesn't last for long as the four face their most daunting challenge yet as they defend Earth from Galactus and Silver Surfer. NONA KHODAI ACE A Southern California native and graduate of USC's Cinematic Arts school, Nona started her career as an assistant on such films as the Bad Robot production, Super 8.  Her first foray as an editor on a "superhero" project came courtesy of showrunner Eric Kripke who brought her aboard the The Boys, where she would work with director Matt Shakman for the first time.  Nona was twice nominted for an Emmy award for her work on Marvel's WandaVision, and nominated for another Emmy for Marvel's Ms. Marvel. TIM ROCHE Known for his work on comedy series like Silicon Valley and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, as well as for his contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including WandaVision, Thor: Love and Thunder and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Tim has received five Emmy nominations for his work, including one this year for Welcom To Wrexham, a show that has already brought him an ACE Eddie Award.

About The Episode AI is here to stay, and many nonprofits are already embracing it. In this episode, we break down how you can set up your own custom GPT to save time, boost donor engagement, and make your team's life a whole lot easier. Whether you're writing thank-you emails, managing volunteers, or brainstorming fundraising ideas, your nonprofit can benefit from an AI assistant that actually knows your mission. Nonprofit AI Use: The Highlights Get Clear on Your Goals Before you dive into setup, know what you're solving for. Want to write better donor emails? Streamline volunteer comms? Automate FAQs? Clarity upfront makes everything smoother. Feed It the Right Info Your GPT learns from what you give it. Upload samples you love; anything that reflects your tone and programs. This is how it learns to sound like you. Start with Prompt Templates Give your GPT some direction! Write examples like: “Draft a warm thank-you to a new monthly donor that mentions their impact on our youth programs.” These templates are the building blocks. Test Early, Adjust Often Don't expect perfection right away. Run some test prompts, tweak wording, and refine your data. It's a loop: test, tweak, repeat. Plan for Team Use Set boundaries. Train your team on what AI can (and can't) do. 

Ever wondered why some businesses flourish while others fizzle out quickly? It all boils down to playing the long game. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to chase instant gratification. But lasting success—real, sustainable growth—comes from decisions made today that pay off months or even years down the road.

Editor - Yan Miles ACE, BFE Andor editor Yan Miles partly attributes the decision not to extensively use the Stagecraft "volume" technology as the reason why his series has a distinctly different look and feel to other shows under the Star Wars banner. Instead, Andor leans into real-world environments, capturing the grit and authenticity that Yan believes enhances the narrative. Another significant factor in that differentiation is Tony Gilroy's writing, where the narrative complexity lies. Despite knowing the ultimate fate of characters like Cassian Andor, the series thrives on the uncertainty surrounding minor characters and their arcs. It's in these uncharted territories that the tension in Andor finds its heartbeat.

Editors - William Hoy, ACE and Craig Alpert, ACE Superman editors William Hoy ACE and Craig Alpert ACE didn't need to be told there was a lot riding on this movie.  Not only does it represent James Gunn's view on who Superman needs to be for modern movie-going audiences, it also kicks off Gunn's vision of the new DCU.  From the first minute of the film, viewers encounter a Superman who bleeds and is grappling with not just his limitations, but also his sense of purpose. It's these complex layers that Bill and Craig balanced through their masterful editing. In James Gunn's new take on the most iconic character in the superhero realm, Superman must prove to the world that he is their protector and not a thread, after billionaire Lex Luthor enacts a plan to turn public opinion against him. William Hoy, ACE Bill is known for his work on No Way Out (1987), Dance with Wolves (1990), The Bone Collector (1999), Dawn of the Planet of The Apes (2014), War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) and The Batman (2022). Craig Alpert, ACE Craig is known for cutting Deadpool 2 (2018), Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm (2020), The Lost City (2022) and Blue Beetle (2023).  He was twice nominated for an ACE Eddie award in the category of Best Edited Feature Film: Comedy (Deadpool 2, Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm).
