David Sussillo is a neuroscientist, technologist, and author of Emergence: A Memoir of Boyhood, Computation, and the Mysteries of Mind. Kate first met David when they were classmates at the Milton Hershey School in Hershey, Pennsylvania. David has made a career at the cutting edge of neuroscience and technology, yet his path there was anything but a straight line. Born to drug-addicted parents in New Mexico, he navigated a childhood marked by violence and neglect. But a seed was planted at the unlikeliest of places—the local arcade. What follows is a remarkable journey of resilience and transformation, from the chaotic corridors of group homes to the halls of Columbia and Stanford. Along the way, Sussillo takes readers on an illuminating tour of the century-long dance between neuroscience, physics, and computation that has laid the groundwork for neural networks—the technology that drives modern artificial intelligence. As he advances in the field, working to demystify these networks, he also begins to pursue an answer to a more personal question: why, and how, did he succeed against all odds?

Hey Heal Squad! What do you do when life changes in an instant? Today we're finding out from someone who knows exactly what that feels like: Amy Purdy. Amy is a three-time Paralympic medalist, professional snowboarder, motivational speaker, and author. Her new book Bounce Forward: 21 Tools to Live a Life Beyond Limits (out April 14th) not only details Amy's fight for her life at 19, when bacterial meningitis left her with a 2% chance of survival and led to the loss of both of her legs, but also the devastating health crisis years later that once again threatened her mobility. But instead of letting those moments define her limits, Amy rebuilt her life using the same mindset tools she now shares in Bounce Forward. Amy opens up about the mindset shifts that helped her move from survival to strength, including the power of visualization, and learning how to stay fully present when life feels overwhelming (like not being able to be on a snowboard for the past 7 years!). With the Paralympics happening right now, this conversation is a powerful reminder of the determination, resilience, and gold-medal mindset it takes to rise again when the odds feel stacked against you. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Visualization can support both performance and healing: Amy used daily visualization, imagining snowboarding, and running again, to help her body recover during her most difficult medical battles. Your relationship with your body matters: One of Amy's most powerful practices is shifting from criticizing the body to appreciating it, even writing letters of gratitude to the body for everything it continues to do.

Losing your way can sometimes be the beginning of finding who you really are. Robert Pallante's life revolved around hockey from a young age. Growing up in the Toronto area, he played at the highest levels, earned a college scholarship, and chased the dream so many young athletes believe defines them. But when his hockey journey didn't unfold the way he expected, Rob was left struggling with identity, confidence, and unanswered questions that followed him long after he left the game. Years later, a near-fatal motorcycle accident forced Robert into stillness, reflection, and a complete reset. Lying in a hospital bed fighting for his life, he realized he was under no obligation to remain the person he had been. This episode explores what it means to separate who you are from what you do, how pain can become perspective, and why rebuilding your identity is possible at any stage of life. Guest Bio Robert Pallante grew up in Mississauga, Ontario, where hockey shaped much of his early life. Drafted into the OHL and later earning a scholarship to Michigan Tech, Robert pursued the sport at a high level before continuing into junior and professional camps. After leaving hockey, he spent over two decades building a successful career in sales, business development, and corporate leadership. In 2015, Robert survived a near-death motorcycle accident that led to eight surgeries, 40 days in the hospital, and years of rehabilitation. That experience became a turning point, reshaping his priorities and purpose. Today, Robert works with young athletes to help them build an invincible mindset, develop strong values, and prepare for life both during and after sports. He is a single father to two children, Luca and Ava.   You'll hear About Growing up in Canadian hockey culture and chasing identity through sport The mental toll of setbacks, injury, and unmet expectations How alcohol and avoidance masked deeper struggles Surviving a near-fatal accident and facing life with fresh perspective Separating identity from performance and rebuilding with intention   Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction 02:10 Growing Up in Mississauga and Falling in Love with Hockey 05:30 Junior Hockey, the OHL Draft, and College Decisions 09:00 Michigan Tech, Injury, and the Emotional Spiral 13:45 Entitlement, Ego, and Mental Readiness 18:00 Leaving the Game and Entering the Business World 22:30 Identity Loss and Unprocessed Pain 25:30 The Motorcycle Accident That Changed Everything 30:00 Recovery, Reflection, and Releasing Old Identity 34:30 Separating the Person From the Player 38:30 Building Mindset, Values, and Purpose After Sport 42:30 Rob's Message to Athletes Struggling With Transition 46:00 Chuck's Closing Reflections Chuck's Challenge This week, ask yourself a simple but honest question: Who am I when the jersey comes off?

Today on The Gist, Princeton PhD researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov joins the show to share her harrowing experience of being kidnapped and held hostage in Iraq for over 900 days by the Iranian-backed militia Kataib Hezbollah. She details the brutal realities of her captivity, how she used her intellect to outsmart her captors by leaving hidden "breadcrumbs" for intelligence agencies in forced confession videos, and the bizarre reality of being ordered to write geopolitical analysis for the militants. She also provides a rare, firsthand look at how the proxy group reacted in real-time to the October 7th attacks and the subsequent regional fallout. Plus, the differing approaches of the Trump and Biden administrations to hostage recovery.

Writer & editor Sarah McCarthy befriended a beautiful South African former model, Juliet Bryant, only to learn years later, after Epstein became worldwide news, that her friend had been trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager. Fascinated by Juliet's horrific account of her experiences, Sarah determined to research and verify Juliet's dreadful account, speaking with other victims and witnesses. Juliet was initially recruited in South Africa by Epstein after meeting him at a local restaurant, along with Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, and former President Clinton. Sarah now shares highlights of the information contained in her book, including the shocking efforts Epstein undertook to ensure his DNA was perpetuated. At the time of this episode's air date, London-based Sarah and her boyfriend have experienced so much harassment that she opted to delay publication of her book.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

(Matt Faubion / Alaska Public Media) Five Indigenous mushers and their dog teams are headed to Nome, Alaska. The 1,000-mile Iditarod race got underway in Willow, north of Anchorage on Sunday. A fresh blanket of snow covered the trail. Two of the top contenders in a field of 37 mushers are Alaska Native. Ryan Redington, an Iñupiaq musher from Knik, won the race in 2023. Pete Kaiser, a Yup'ik from Bethel, took the title in 2019. Kaiser skipped last year's Iditarod and had not planned to race this year until three weeks ago, following his historic tenth win of Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race. Pete Kaiser with his family and lead dog, just after winning his historic tenth Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Race. (Photo: Gabby Salgado / KYUK) After Kaiser set the record for winning the most Kusko 300s, he says returning to the Iditarod felt like the right decision. “By the time the Kusko's over, you know, you’ve done 90% of the work. Started training in July, and so I just felt like things were looking okay. Felt like, going down the trail again. So here we are.” There are three Indigenous rookies in the race to watch. Jesse Terry, an Anishinaabe musher from Sioux Lookout, Ont., is a veteran of several mid-distance races. He has been mushing dogs since he was 11 years old. Another rookie, Kevin Hansen, an Iñupiaq from Kotzebue, has been sprint racing since the third grade. He finished second in last year's Kobuk 440, just behind defending Iditarod champ, Jesse Holmes. But for Hansen, this race is about more than competition. “Part of who I am as an Iñupiaq, and you really feel it out there. And times when it’s just you, your dogs and the land and dealing with the elements and challenges.” This may be Jody Potts-Joseph's first Iditarod, but the Hän Gwiich'in from Eagle Village, is well known. She starred in the TV show, “Life Below Zero: First Alaskans”, and her daughter, Quanna Chasinghorse, is an Indigenous model, featured in magazines like Vogue. Together, they have been outspoken environmental advocates. “Why mushing out of all the spectrum of things that I do? It's because that's really where my heart is. I just love the land. I love being out on the land with the dogs. And it fills my soul, and it just gives me a lot of purpose.” Potts-Joseph says it has been a tough training season. Interior Alaska temperatures dropped down to 30 to 65 below F this winter — too cold for her dogs to run safely. Her main goal: to finish the Iditarod with a healthy team. The first finishers are expected to cross the finish line next Monday or Tuesday. Inside a data center at one of the U.S. Department of Energy's national laboratories. (Photo: Joe DelNero / National Laboratory of the Rockies) The federal government is encouraging tribes to partner with data centers. That could mean leasing land or, as the Mountain West News Bureau's Hanna Merzbach reports, selling power. At a U.S. Department of Energy webinar, Ken Ahmann with Colusa Indian Energy said that is where the big bucks come in. “Potentially billions of dollars into the coffers of tribes.” His company provides energy infrastructure to data centers on tribal land. He says these partnerships can be good for tribes that have land and resources to power big projects like the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. Paul Bemore is the chair of the tribe's utility board. “Tribes that are casino-dependent really need to look at other ways to build their economies, and I think data centers is one of those opportunities.” Though Bemore says people may be wary about how this will impact the environment. Other tribes have expressed concerns about data centers draining precious water supplies. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

On May 20, 2016, ICU nurse Amber Kornhorst set out on a solo late-afternoon hike near Cane Beds, Arizona, and climbed a deceptively "sticky" sandstone wall she couldn't safely descend. With no cell service and no way out, she fell about 100 feet into a narrow rock "dungeon," suffering three spinal fractures, a crushed pelvis, head and facial injuries, severe dehydration, and hypothermia — and typed goodbye messages to her family on her phone. Refusing to give up, she crawled and climbed to a more visible ledge and blew her whistle three blasts every half hour until search-and-rescue teams and a helicopter located her nearly 24 hours later, executing a technical rope raise and hover-load evacuation to a Utah hospital. Her story drives home survival essentials: always tell someone your plan, never hike alone, start early, carry extra water and a whistle, consider a satellite communicator, and never climb anything you can't safely descend. 00:46 Show Intro And Setup 01:40 Amber Hits The Trail 03:02 Climbing The Sandstone Wave 04:10 No Way Down Desert Trap 05:32 The Hundred Foot Fall 06:20 Shock And Goodbye Texts 08:27 Painful Climb And Whistle 11:03 Search Effort Mobilizes 12:41 Helicopter Spots Her 14:16 Technical Rope Rescue 16:10 Hover Pickup Extraction 17:02 Helicopter Evacuation 17:43 Hospital Recovery Journey 19:06 Why She Survived 19:43 Whistle and Visibility 21:55 Search Mobilized Fast 22:50 Wilderness Safety Takeaways 25:03 Desert Hiking Mistakes 27:08 Survival Mindset Lessons 29:47 Final Wrap and Credits Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ Primary/First-Person Account Kohnhorst, Amber.

A masterclass in the nuts and bolts of running a world-class restaurant.In this episode, Dan sits down with one of Britain's most uncompromising chefs to talk about building a two-Michelin-star restaurant in the least glamorous location imaginable — a strange little oasis tucked under a Nottingham flyover, surrounded by graffiti, traffic, and the occasional burning car.But that's exactly the point.Sat explains why great restaurants aren't just about food — they're about theatre, emotion, risk, and creating something so memorable that people will travel across the world to experience it. From the philosophy behind Restaurant Sat Bains to the psychology of hospitality, the conversation dives into why authenticity beats polish, why imperfection can be powerful, and why chasing Michelin stars is often the least interesting part of running a restaurant.Along the way they explore Sat's unconventional ideas — like the now-famous “Sat's Gamble” wine lottery — the realities of attracting true travelling food lovers, and what it actually takes to build a restaurant that people obsess over.This is a conversation about vision, stubbornness, and why sometimes the best restaurants in the world are built in the most unlikely places.00:00 Gastronomic Narnia00:03:30 Why Every Detail Matters in Fine Dining00:07:00 The Secret Behind the Perfect Plated Dish00:10:00 Teaching Knowledge After 30 Years in Kitchens00:15:00 Building a Two-Star Restaurant Under a Flyover00:19:00 Food Should Reveal the Chef's Identity00:50:00 Why Freedom Beats Mentors in Creativity01:03:00 Lessons From Growing Up in a Shop01:07:30 Creativity Means Nothing Without Business01:17:00 The £50 Two-Michelin-Star Breakfast Idea01:42:00 Why Honesty Beats Perfect Social Media01:43:00 Sat's Gamble Wine Lottery Explained02:05:00 Turning Art Into Michelin-Star Dishes02:10:00 How Creative Ideas Become Real Plates  ============================================== ♨️Still bloody HUNGRY?

www.LearningLeader.com The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Jamie Siminoff is the founder of Ring, which he sold to Amazon for over a billion dollars. He's an inventor and builder who couldn't hear his doorbell while working in his garage, so he built a video doorbell. When his wife said it made her feel safer, he realized technology had changed, and home security needed a complete reinvention. Ring became the world's largest home security company with a mission to make neighborhoods safer. Key Learnings  Jeff Bezos reads and writes his own stuff. When Jamie asked Jeff to write something for the book's back cover, Jeff actually read it and wanted his own curated quote that was from him. Jeff loves entrepreneurs, so they kept him out of negotiations. After the Whole Foods deal, Amazon learned to keep Jeff out of negotiations because he finds it tough to negotiate hard with someone he respects. Hardware companies can die while growing fast. Ring grew from $3M to $30M to $174M to $480M, which sounds amazing. But to go from $170M to $480M, you're buying hundreds of millions of dollars of product when you're selling less than that. If sales growth slows, you're basically going out of business. Going from $480M to over a billion in revenue was like being on a motorcycle at 200 miles an hour. If a leaf falls down and hits you, you're dead. At Amazon, when Ring said, "We need another billion dollars to order stuff for next year," Amazon said, "Okay, what else do you want?" There are different types of entrepreneurs. Jamie is an inventor/entrepreneur. There are business entrepreneurs who are maniacal business people we've never heard of that have just crushed it. Jamie is maniacal on product and brings invention into how they run the company. Hire marathon runners. Marathons are the dumbest thing any human could ever do. Even if you win, no one cares. Jamie finished the Boston Marathon in 22,000th place and he's so proud of himself. You want people that don't care about external validation; they just care about getting the mission done. AI has democratized all information. With AI making it so you don't even need to know C++ programming anymore, fill your business with passionate people who care about the mission and they'll crush anything. When building your team, start with the mission. Jamie tells people, "Our mission is to make neighborhoods safer. Do you want to work on making neighborhoods safer? Because if you don't, you're going to be miserable here. You're going to hear it every day, and you're going to roll your eyes."  Referrals work because people don't want to let you down. The best hires are when someone's referred by someone (uncle, friend, whatever) because they feel guilty. They don't want to let the person who referred them down. Find an infinite truth to work on. Amazon's core principles are infinite: Will customers always want lower price, more selection, and faster delivery? Yes. If you deliver in 30 minutes, they'll want it in 10 minutes. Making neighborhoods safer is an infinite thing to work on. Your wife saying one thing can change everything. Jamie built a video doorbell so he could hear the door from his garage. His wife said, "It makes me feel safer at home." That's when he realized technology had changed and home security needed a whole new approach. The hard part is bringing the infinite down to the tactical. When you have an infinite mission, you can get overwhelmed trying to solve it all at once. You have to figure out what to do every single day to work toward that infinite goal. Shark Tank was a disaster that turned into everything. Jamie went on Shark Tank desperately needing money. He got zero offers and cried in his car after. But when it aired, the boost in sales gave them cash to hire people and build Ring, which started the clock on their success. Sometimes you can't stop because you're in too deep. After Shark Tank bombed, Jamie couldn't back out. He'd already ordered too many products and owed too much money. He'd be personally bankrupt if he stopped. People think he's tough for keeping going, but he didn't have a choice. Being naive is a superpower. Great inventions are things people say can't happen because if they could happen, they'd already be out there. You have to be naive enough to say "I think I can do this" or "I don't even know that I can't." People said you couldn't build a battery-operated camera on WiFi. Jamie had never built anything before, so what did he know? They just went out and tried to put some parts together that seemed like they would work. Knowing too much gets in the way of doing the work. If you're thinking and analyzing the whole world, that's time you're not inventing, building, making calls. When are you actually doing the work? The Ring.com domain negotiation was survival. The owner originally wanted $750K for the domain. Jamie had $178K in the bank on the day he was supposed to pay. He called and said "My board said I can't do the deal, but they approved $175K today and $1M total over two years." The guy hung up, called back, and said fine. There was no board, it was just Jamie.  The stress internalized and destroyed him. Jamie wasn't sleeping and was super stressed. There are different types of entrepreneurs: some can handle that stress and sleep like a baby. Jamie internalized it, and it affected him terribly. Be transparent at home. Jamie's son was six years old and knew where the business was. His kindergarten teacher would say, "I hear the business isn't going well." They just had open, adult conversations about everything. Work-life integration, not balance. Jamie integrated work, life, and family together. His son came with him to pick up the first DoorBot in China. Oliver has been to 40 countries and almost every state because he traveled to every meeting. Bring your kid to the meeting. People asked, "How do you bring your kid to a meeting?" Jamie said, "Who do you think they're gonna remember more?" We're always scared to be different. Follow your passion, but make money when you need to. It's hard to see anyone who's achieved greatness who didn't do what they loved. But there are times you have to work your ass off to make money (Jamie was a bellhop and valet parking cars). When you set out to do something, do something you care about. If you fail trying to make money, that really sucks. If you fail trying to do something you love, at least you tried to do something you love. If Ring fails, they try to make neighborhoods safer. That's noble. You can tell who's successful by how fast they respond. It's a weird flip-flop of what it should be. You'd think a successful person should respond in a month, but the people running at the highest levels are actually very efficient. There's something about it. First principles thinking eliminates recurring meetings. There's no way every single Monday at 9 AM you have something important to talk about. The world can't exist like that. Meet when you need to do something, not on some cadence. Hire the best and let them work. Get the best quarterback, best kicker, best coach. Let them work together, let them practice, have the plays. You don't need to get together every day to talk about how you're feeling. No standing meetings, zero recurring one-on-ones. Jamie doesn't have a standing meeting with his team in any cadence. He talks to people all day long, all night long, Sundays, but it's event-based. "We have to get sales up on this, where are the issues?" If you're not doing your job, we'll fire you. Service to others is the best thing you can do. A year from now, Jamie would be celebrating something on the charitable side. Probably something with their work in South Central LA with LAPD, or at their 75-acre farm in Missouri helping the town that's been impacted by opioids and industrial farming.

And you wonder if you're the crazy one.This is Parts 3 and 4 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining financial coercive control and the psychology of the mask through the Kouri Richins case. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented patterns that explain how intelligent people end up trapped.Prosecutors allege Kouri was $4.5 million in debt when Eric died. Over 200 overdraft transactions totaling $300,000. A $3.2 million mansion closing the day of his death. Financial abuse creates chains so complete that leaving becomes impossible—not because you're afraid, but because you literally cannot afford to go.The chaos strategy keeps you reactive. The "we" weapon makes every decision feel shared while one person controls. The flip turns your questions into accusations. The trap follows you: destroyed credit, joint debt, sabotaged employment. Financial desperation is a documented lethality indicator—when the house of cards collapses, danger spikes.Then there's the mask. After Eric died, Kouri wrote a children's book about grief. Featured her sons. Did media appearances as the grieving widow helping families heal.

Everyone loves them. Your friends think they're charming. Your family thinks you're lucky. You know what they're really like at home.That's the loneliest place a human being can be. Tonight we're examining the psychology of coercive control through the Kouri Richins case—Parts 3 and 4 of "Surviving the Fog." We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented patterns.Financial abuse creates invisible chains. Prosecutors allege Kouri was $4.5 million in debt when Eric died. Over 200 overdraft transactions. A $3.2 million mansion closing the day of his death—one she allegedly couldn't afford. Financial desperation is a lethality indicator in domestic violence research. When the house of cards collapses, danger spikes.The chaos strategy keeps victims reactive—constant crisis means you never step back to see the pattern. The "we" weapon makes every decision feel shared while control stays with one person. And when you finally ask questions about money? The flip happens. Suddenly you're controlling. You don't trust them. You end up apologizing.Then there's the mask. After Eric died, Kouri wrote a children's book about grief. Featured her sons. Promoted it on media appearances as the grieving widow helping families heal. All while under investigation for allegedly murdering her husband.Public image management means every interaction is curated. Character witnesses get built before they're needed. "They would never" becomes the narrative before you can speak—because they told their version first. Flying monkeys get recruited to reinforce their reality while your support network disappears.The pressure paradox: the mask doesn't crack under scrutiny. It becomes more elaborate.

Why don't we talk about money when we talk about domestic abuse? And why do abusers look so perfect to everyone except the person living with them?This is Parts 3 and 4 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining financial abuse and public image manipulation through the Kouri Richins case. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented psychological patterns.Prosecutors allege Kouri Richins was $4.5 million in debt. Over 200 overdraft transactions totaling $300,000. A $3.2 million mansion closing the day Eric died—one she allegedly couldn't afford. Financial abuse doesn't leave bruises, but research shows financial desperation is a lethality indicator. When the house of cards collapses, danger spikes.The chaos strategy keeps partners reactive—constant financial crisis means you're always putting out fires, never analyzing the pattern. The "we" weapon makes decisions feel shared while one person controls. The flip turns your questions into accusations—suddenly you're the controlling one. The trap follows even after leaving: destroyed credit, joint debt, sabotaged employment.Then there's the mask. After Eric died, Kouri wrote a children's book about grief. Featured her sons on the cover. Did media appearances as the grieving widow helping families heal. All while under investigation for allegedly murdering her husband. If the prosecution is right, this is the mask at its most extreme.We break down documented patterns: Public image management—building character witnesses before they're needed.

Kimberly sat down with a special guest to chat about surviving and repairing her marriage after infidelity. She is super open and honest during this almost 3 hour chat. Through her TikTok account and other social media she hopes to provide a safe place for those who have or are currently struggling with similar issues. This episode is definitely a wild ride but so worth the listen! This is a throw back episode that has been re-posted in order to remove the guests name. That is why it will sound familiar.  

Every spring, the clocks jump forward and millions of people suddenly lose an hour of sleep. But the effects of daylight saving time go far beyond feeling a little groggy the next morning.

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Elle and I kick things off with some Table Talk about Robbie Strazynski and his difficult decision to cancel the upcoming Mixed Game Festival. We look at the facts, show our support, and look ahead to the next festival scheduled at Bellagio later this year. We also share the latest updates on the upcoming Ante Up poker cruise, including why now might be the perfect time to lock in your spot. Plus, there's a new addition to the Ante Up studio that should make the show look a little sharper for our growing YouTube audience… even if installing it created a few extra “decorative” holes in the wall. In Call the Floor, Elliott Schecter weighs in on a strange situation when a dealt card slides under the table rail and disappears from view—what's the proper ruling when the card has to be dug out mid-deal? Then in Hand of the Week, Patrick joins me to break down a hand with AJ suited… and, as usual, what starts as a simple situation quickly spirals into a complicated one. Finally, I wrap things up with Joe's One Outer, drawing inspiration from the legendary reality show Survivor and what poker players can learn from the idea of outlasting the competition while keeping a clear head. It's another fun one with the A-Team—strategy, stories, and a few lessons along the way. Click here for our Linktree.

Research presented by Dave Sobel and Anurag Agarwal highlights a steep decline in profitability for core MSP services, driven by heightened commoditization and vendor-led automation of basic offerings such as endpoint management and help desk operations. According to Techaisle's 2026 data, the traditional labor-plus-license model is no longer sustainable, as shrinking margins force service providers to reconsider foundational strategies. The central message underscores an urgent need for MSPs to prioritize proprietary intellectual property (IP) and vertical-specific solutions—not for incremental growth, but as a matter of operational survival. Supporting this assessment, the discussion details how market demand has shifted: MSPs can no longer depend on generic solutions but must differentiate with specialized, repeatable offerings that address the financial optimization and liability concerns of business clients. The data indicates that SMBs are increasingly unwilling to invest in pilots or “all-you-can-eat” AI models without visible ROI and demand concrete solutions linked to business outcomes. Vendors and MSPs alike are being tasked with providing smaller, outcome-focused wins and developing skillsets in agentic orchestration, where AI-enabled digital agents and human technicians operate as co-equal components of the workforce. A related trend explored is the shift toward agentic AI and “zero-touch” MSP models, featuring automation of routine IT tasks and focus on workflow engineering rather than manual services. However, the episode notes that most providers are unprepared for the new set of risks and governance liabilities: as clients increasingly utilize AI agents, accountability for errors and regulatory compliance will rest heavily with MSPs, especially in sensitive geographies such as Europe where contractual governance is becoming standard. Conversations on whether to “build or buy” new capabilities reflect a split market, with only the top tier capable of meaningful in-house development, and the majority relying on third-party platforms with limited differentiation. For MSPs, IT service firms, and decision-makers, the core implication is the need to rapidly develop operational and governance maturity around automation, AI orchestration, and packaged offerings. Clinging to traditional models or treating AI as a mere add-on introduces significant risk, including shrinking margins, increased liability, and potential obsolescence. Providers are advised to narrow focus, specialize in vertical solutions, invest in internal competency with AI-enabled platforms, and shift toward packaged IP to avoid falling behind as both client expectations and regulatory requirements escalate.

Have you ever wondered why the pain of losing a hundred dollars feels so much more intense than the joy of finding a hundred dollars? In the 1970s, psychologists proved that our brains are literally hardwired by evolution to fear loss twice as much as we desire gain. In this episode, we are going to explore the science of 'Keeping Your Stuff,' and discover how this ancient survival mechanism might be the exact thing keeping you stuck in a life, a job, or a mindset you outgrew years ago. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.

Leaving is the most dangerous time.For victims of coercive control, the moment you start pulling away is the moment risk escalates. The relationship was never about love. It was about control.This is Part 5 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining escalation and lethality through the Kouri Richins case. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented patterns.Prosecutors allege Eric was asking questions. Wanted to change his will.Valentine's Day 2022: Eric allegedly gets sick after eating a sandwich prosecutors say Kouri bought. He recovers.Two weeks later, five times the lethal dose of fentanyl.If the prosecution's timeline is accurate, Eric may have been in the danger zone—the highest-risk period identified in domestic violence research.Lethality indicators include: escalating threats, weapons access, stalking, prior strangulation, extreme possessiveness, separation intent, financial desperation.Narcissistic collapse produces desperation and rage—not acceptance. When control is threatened, some escalate to the unthinkable."If I can't have you, no one can" is ownership, not love.The danger zone is real. But so is survival. Leave strategically. Make a plan.

Today's episode is one of courage, survival, and reclaiming your voice. Tonia Bales, CRNA and author of When You See It: How I Outsmarted and Outlasted Dirty John, shares her deeply personal story of manipulation, coercive control, and psychological abuse. While the world knows the headline-grabbing “Dirty John” narrative, this conversation takes us behind the scenes to explore how even strong, capable professionals can be targeted and trapped by someone hiding in plain sight. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

Through his show, coaching, and content, he shares real stories from his own career — the big wins, the missed deals, and the lessons that came from both. We're excited to unpack what he's learned about building a long-term sales career, creating processes that scale, and standing out in an ultra-competitive field.

When we talk about domestic abuse, we talk about bruises.We almost never talk about money. And that's a problem.This is Part 3 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining financial abuse through the Kouri Richins case. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented patterns.Prosecutors allege Kouri was $4.5 million in debt when Eric died. Over 200 overdraft transactions. A mansion closing she allegedly couldn't afford. If those allegations are true, this is financial coercive control at its most extreme—and most deadly—conclusion.Financial abuse creates invisible chains. Debt without full disclosure. Controlled accounts. Sabotaged employment. Constant chaos that keeps you too overwhelmed to see the pattern.The word "we" becomes a weapon. "We" bears consequences while one person makes decisions.When you ask for visibility, you're the problem. You're controlling. You don't trust them.The shame keeps victims silent. The debt follows them out. Destroyed credit, joint debt, no resources—even leaving doesn't break the chains.And financial desperation is a lethality indicator. When the house of cards falls, danger escalates.Financial abuse is abuse—even without physical violence.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Kouri Richins case is, at its core, a financial case.Prosecutors allege $4.5 million in debt. 200+ overdrafts. A mansion closing Eric allegedly didn't know they couldn't afford. If true, it's financial coercive control at its most extreme.This is Part 3 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining financial abuse as the ultimate form of control. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented patterns.Financial abuse doesn't leave bruises. It creates invisible chains. Debt without disclosure. Controlled accounts. Sabotaged employment. Chaos that keeps you in survival mode.The word "we" is a weapon. "We" bears consequences while one person makes decisions.When you ask questions, you're controlling. You don't trust them. The conversation flips and you apologize for wanting to see your own finances.The shame keeps you silent. The debt follows you out. Destroyed credit means no apartment. Joint debt means responsibility whether you stay or leave.And here's what the research shows: financial desperation is a lethality indicator.

Last year was hard. Not "busy season" hard. Not "algorithm changed again" hard. Not "launch didn't convert" hard. Life-altering hard. In this episode, Brittni Schroeder shares the story behind the hardest year of her life — navigating divorce, relocating from Texas to Utah, sending her son on a two-year mission to Brazil for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and walking alongside her daughter after a devastating skiing accident left her with a broken back. Through heartbreak, exhaustion, and the pressure of being both a mother and the provider, Brittni opens up about the unspoken reality entrepreneurs face: you still have to show up, even when life hits hard. This episode is about resilience without hustle, the power of relationships, building systems that protect you in crisis, and giving yourself permission to be human. If you're in a hard season — personally or professionally — this conversation will remind you that survival is sometimes the win, and staying is enough.

How could you diversify your income streams by pursuing your interests? Anyone who knows me knows I have a lot going on—I run Bossed Up, I have a corporate day job, I'm a parent…and that's not even half of it. But I firmly believe that expanding your career portfolio is a wise move, for your finances and your energy sustainability.  Especially in the current wildly unstable job market, why focus all your time, energy, and interest on a single job? By doing so, you run the risk of being left at loose ends if, heaven forbid, your job falls through. In this episode, I share my own exciting new business venture, along with some helpful tips for exploring your own side hustles and hobby monetization. If you've ever considered becoming a multi-hyphinate—or know someone who's on that path—you're going to love this one. Mitigate your income risk and diversify your time and energy: The two pie charts that sum up your career portfolio; How to find more time for your side hustle without exhausting yourself; Three ways you can start to explore doing more, safely and strategically.

How did Eric Richins miss millions in debt allegedly piling up in his own marriage?The same way thousands of people miss it every day: the fog.This is Part 2 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining coercive control psychology through the Kouri Richins case. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring patterns documented in abuse research.Gaslighting isn't casual lying. It's sustained psychological warfare designed to make you doubt your own mind. They deny what happened with absolute confidence. They attack your credibility. They reverse victim and offender until you're apologizing for bringing up something real.DARVO is the playbook: Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim and Offender.The fog is also exhaustion. Constant crisis that keeps you reactive instead of reflective. Every time you start to see clearly, a new emergency appears. That's not coincidence—it's strategy.Cognitive dissonance keeps you trapped. Your brain can't hold "I love this person" and "this person is destroying me" at the same time. So it rejects the truth to protect you from a reality that would shatter everything.The confusion is the tool. If you're constantly off-balance, you won't leave. You won't tell anyone. You won't act.You're not crazy. You're being made to feel crazy.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Invisible Scars: Surviving, Healing, and Finding Your Voice with Christopher CarazasSome of the deepest wounds are the ones no one can see.In this powerful and vulnerable episode, we explore invisible scars with survivor, storyteller, and global development and social impact leader Christopher Carazas. Christopher shares his deeply personal journey of being diagnosed with autism as an adult—and how years of masking his true self left him feeling like he never truly belonged.Instead of receiving understanding and compassion after his diagnosis, Christopher was met with psychological, emotional, and verbal abuse. He was told he wasn't good enough, that he should be ashamed of his existence, and that he didn't deserve the space he took up in the world. These cruel and dehumanizing messages led him to attempt suicide—twice. Thankfully, Christopher is still here.Those experiences became the foundation for his memoir, Now That I'm Still Here, a raw and honest exploration of trauma, autism, grief, abuse, and survival.Christopher describes his life as a “mosaic of shifting landscapes and invisible scars.” Growing up across continents, he learned to adapt constantly while rarely feeling accepted. Masking his autism became a survival strategy—until abuse weaponized his differences and pushed him toward collapse and silence. Healing did not come dramatically or heroically, but breath by breath.Through profound loss, grief, and rebuilding after devastation, Christopher found his way back to himself through writing. His story speaks to anyone who has survived emotional abuse, lived with grief as a daily companion, or struggled to reclaim their voice—especially men and neurodivergent individuals who are often taught to stay silent.This episode is a reminder that survival itself is meaningful—and that telling our stories can be a powerful act of healing.In this episode, we discuss:Invisible scars and why they can be just as painful as physical woundsAdult autism diagnosis and the lifelong impact of maskingThe devastating effects of emotional, psychological, and verbal abuseSuicide attempts, survival, and choosing to keep goingGrief, loss, and rebuilding after everything falls apartWriting as a pathway to healing and reclaiming identityWhy men and neurodivergent individuals must be supported in finding their voicesConnect with Christopher:
