Podcasts about Taxonomy

Your Shopify taxonomy is not just your navigation menu — it's the way your store teaches Shopify, Google, Pinterest, TikTok, Meta, and AI tools like ChatGPT what your products are, who they're for, and why they matter.In this episode of The Simple and Smart SEO Show, I'm breaking down why taxonomy is really your store's semantic strategy. We'll talk about the difference between Shopify's built-in structure and the deeper semantic taxonomy your e-commerce store actually needs for modern SEO, GEO, and AI search.If your products, collections, tags, metafields, variants, and SKU prefixes feel a little chaotic, this episode will help you see how they can all work together to create a clearer, smarter product universe.You'll learn: Why Shopify taxonomy is your store's ontology  The difference between Shopify's structural taxonomy and your semantic taxonomy  Why collections and tags alone are not enough for modern search  How AI and LLMs interpret your product categories  Why persona or solution hubs matter for buyer intent  How SKU prefixes can act as semantic signals  The three-tier taxonomy framework for e-commerce brands  Why clear information architecture can improve visibility, conversions, and AI recommendations The big idea: your taxonomy is not just a set of collections. It's a semantic model of your business.When your product categories, attributes, titles, metafields, and internal links all work together, you reduce confusion for buyers and ambiguity for AI — which can lead to better search visibility, stronger buyer journeys, and a store that is easier to understand, recommend, and buy from.Resources MentionedJoin AI SEO Skool (Join FREE for 7 days!): https://AISEOskool.comVisit the website: https://simpleandsmartseo.comPodcast hub: https://SimpleandSmartSEO.com/best-seo-podcastText me your questions or comments!Hey, Shopify store owners!

What really happens to your neuromuscular system after different types of HIIT — and how do we know?This episode does something we've been building toward for years: puts real data behind the HIIT Science taxonomy. Using low-frequency fatigue measurements from Myocene technology, Martin Buchheit tested the taxonomy on himself — mapping how different interval types load and recover the neuromuscular system in ways we previously could only infer.The conversation covers why some sessions crush your legs for 48 hours while others don't, why neuromuscular RPE tracks fatigue better than most coaches expect, and why the distinction between load and response still gets muddled in practice.The episode closes with a second topic: how change of direction changes everything in HIIT prescription — and why acceleration and deceleration capacity need to drive individualization in team sport training.In this episode:Why HIIT has always been about more than metabolic zonesLow-frequency fatigue as an objective window into neuromuscular recoveryConcentric vs. eccentric load — why cycling and running recover so differentlyNeuromuscular RPE: cheap, practical, and surprisingly validRethinking COD-based interval prescription for team sport athletesMartin Buchheit's New Course For those interested in going deeper, Martin's updated course on Load and Response Monitoring in Elite Football is now available inside the HIIT Science course library.It builds on the same ideas discussed here, focusing on how to better connect training load with athlete response using practical frameworks and real world examplesEarly access is currently available for a limited time.

In episode 550 of Talking Drupal, Rod Martin joins us to discuss how Drupal site builders are defined, how their role has changed across Drupal versions, and what the future may look like with Drupal CMS, Canvas, and Drupal AI. The show's module of the week is Password Policy, presented by Avi Schwab, covering customizable password constraints and password expiration/reset features, along with supporting modules Password Policy Extras and Password Policy Pwned, which checks passwords against the Have I Been Pwned database. The conversation also explores the challenges site builders face around layout, theming, and configuration management, and the need for better templates, workflows, and guardrails as AI-assisted site building evolves.

Send us Fan MailApril is National Native Plant Month, and in this episode we talk with Sustainability Specialist Kevin Harrison and Paul Kovalcik of our Stormwater Inspection & Maintenance (SWIM) department, unpacking what defines a "native plant" and why they matter for water quality and habitat. We talk about how native species support pollinators, and why losing host plants can impact the entire food web.We connect native landscaping to the Sewer District's stormwater management and stream-restoration projects, and explain how invasive species can take over when nothing has co-evolved to keep them in check.Our guests offer tips on how to choose the right tree for the right place, when to plant, and why starting small is the best advice for building a low-stress native garden. Other resources:NRCS - Natural Resources Conservation Service, a U.S. Department of Agriculture agency that provides a "PLANTS" (Plant List of Attributes, Names, Taxonomy, and Symbols) database with automated tools, weblinks, and references.https://plants.sc.egov.usda.gov/Cleveland Metroparks Tree Selector Tool - Enter in various site attributes for guidance on tree species selection for any type of planting project.   https://treeselector-clevelandmetroparks.com/tree-selector Rain Garden Manual for Homeowners - Courtesy of Cuyahoga Soil & Water Conservation District, this manual outlines rain garden terms and definitions, recommendations for creating the right garden for your property, and important diagrams and planting instructions. https://www.neorsd.org/Stormwater%20Form/landing%20page/2007_rain_garden_manual.pdf

Why can't local agreement scale to global truth?

Scott Nolan spent 12 years at Founders Fund looking for the most important problems that no one else was funding. Then he found a problem so critical, and so ignored, that he couldn't find a company to back. So he started one. General Matter is rebuilding US uranium enrichment. The United States was the world leader in enrichment through the 1980s and then stopped entirely. Today roughly a quarter of US enriched uranium comes from Russia, a ban on those imports takes full effect in 2028, and the advanced reactors everyone is counting on to power the next wave of data centers have no reliable domestic fuel source. Scott believes enrichment is the single bottleneck to a nuclear future, and that the window to solve it is narrow. The conversation covers how Peter Thiel influenced him, why being in love with an idea is dangerous for investors but required for founders, and what it actually takes to rebuild an industrial capability the country let atrophy for 40 years.

Sponsored by time loops, here we go again!   Welcome to our new game of I Was A Teenage Exocolonist in the Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine system (we almost called this game “I Was A Teenage Wish Granting Engine”...). We start the game off in person before transitioning to online play, with faces new and old.   The players play a group of 15 year old teen Exocolonists that just landed on planet Vertumna. They form a rookie expedition team to gather resources from outside of the colony and live their dramatic lives on this strange alien planet.   While we recommend playing the Exocolonist game for yourself (it's really good!) you don't need to have played it nor know Chuubo's to enjoy this game (but it will help!).   Our cast for this series includes:   - Devon as the host, aka the Hollyhock God - Peter as Digitigrade, aka Digi, a troublesome monkey boy - Steph as Taxonomy, aka Tax, an animal lover - Natalie as Trigonometry, aka Trig, a passionate inventor - G as Serendipity, aka Ren, a worrisome medic Content warning from the original game ( https://exocolonist.com/content_warnings.php ) still applies to this series, as well as that we have themes of suicidal ideation as of season 2.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's episode takes us to a hub of market structure, a powerhouse of trading, and a crossroads of public and private markets to discuss how private markets are in the midst of a market structure evolution.We sat down at Bloomberg's NYC headquarters with Bloomberg's Head of Fixed Income & Private Markets Brad Foster to discuss how technology and data are driving a convergence between public and private markets, particularly as it relates to the credit space.Brad is the Head of Fixed Income & Private Markets at Bloomberg, where he's focused on delivering the data, analytics, and tools clients need to power public and private market investment strategies and workflows. Brad joined Bloomberg in June 2017 to lead its Enterprise Data Content business as well as its Fixed Income Evaluated Pricing (BVAL) offering. He was appointed Head of Fixed Income, including Securitized Products, in early 2023 and Head of Fixed Income & Private Markets in early 2024. Prior to joining Bloomberg, Brad spent almost 20 years on the sell-side in multiple locations, including London, Tokyo, and New York, for Deutsche Bank as a Managing Director in Global Markets across Global Finance, Fixed Income & Currencies, Structured Finance, Special Situations, Structured Lending and Front Office Risk Management, including CVA and Counterparty Risk, where he managed a team that built a Cross-Product Risk and Portfolio Margining Platform. Prior to Deutsche Bank, he was at Credit Suisse in the Market Risk Management Group.Brad and I had a fascinating conversation about public and private credit and how data and technology are shaping these markets. We covered:How Bloomberg's history shaping other market structures are informing how private markets market structure is evolving.How public and private credit are converging.Definitions and perspectives on liquidity vs illiquidity, what's risky and what's not risky.What private markets needs from a market infrastructure perspective to scale.Why borrowers are choosing private credit and the investment grade private credit option.How Bloomberg is approaching private credit and private markets market structure.Bloomberg's build vs. buy vs. partner strategy with private markets tech.Thanks Brad for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and passion at the intersection of credit, market structure, and financial technology.Show Notes00:00 Scaling Private Markets01:12 Welcome to the Alt Goes Mainstream Podcast02:13 Brad Foster's Background04:31 From Trading to Bloomberg05:27 Client Empathy Product Mindset06:25 Fixed Income as Blueprint07:11 Bloomberg Shaping Market Structure08:19 Electronification Turning Points09:10 Efficiency and Regulation Drivers09:45 Blurring Public and Private Credit10:34 Three Legs of Credit11:43 Why Borrowers Go Private13:09 Missing Data and Workflow13:57 Security Master Foundations16:12 Transparency and Retail Pressure22:07 Private Deal Data Uploads22:29 Same Analytics for Private22:50 Sold Not Bought Debate23:43 When Private Gets Liquid24:38 Desktop Real Estate Idea26:21 Reimagining Terminal with AI27:21 Chat as Market Connector28:19 Build Buy Partner Strategy28:51 Bloomberg Private Track Record30:09 Daphne Investment Rationale30:58 Fixing GP LP Workflow32:01 Most Valuable Data Masters33:45 Taxonomy as Missing Piece34:49 Standardizing Valuation Methods35:29 Extending Evaluated Pricing37:27 Liquidity Versus Illiquidity40:18 Portfolio Risk for Asset Owners44:16 Foundations to Scale PrivatesEditing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant.

Innovation Coaches Dianna Knox and Melissa Walley explore blended learning as a strategic blend of digital and in-person instruction. They emphasize designing with purpose (using frameworks like SAMR, Bloom's Taxonomy, and UDL) to increase engagement, student voice, and meaningful learning. They discuss the role of feedback, reflection, and choice in blended learning. Listen in to gain practical ways to address common challenges, and learn how educators can start small, increase confidence, and continually refine their practice.

Tina Austin joins Ray and Dan for a wide-ranging conversation about what AI adoption really looks like in US education beyond the hype, the headlines and the endless frameworks. Tina is an educator, consultant, policy adviser and the founder of GAInable. She works with schools, colleges and faculty teams on responsible AI adoption. In this episode, she shares how her work evolved from teaching bioethics and AI ethics into supporting educators across the US as they grapple with policy, privacy, assessment, tools, and changing classroom practice. The conversation explores the fragmented reality of AI in education, why many teachers are feeling "frameworked out", and why Tina believes the best place to start is not with the tool, but with the problem you are trying to solve. We also dig into Tina's "UnBlooms" framework - a challenge to linear interpretations of Bloom's Taxonomy in the age of generative AI - and discuss critical thinking, student reflection, equity, privacy, and why educators should stay sceptical of easy answers. A thoughtful episode on using AI well, asking better questions, and meeting learners where they are.

In this episode, we step back from the macro noise and focus on the biggest crypto stories of the week: (03:11 - 05:18) Why tokenization, stablecoins, AI agents, and onchain commerce are emerging as core crypto infrastructure themes. Plus, Coinbase Asset Management's tokenized bitcoin yield fund on Base and what it says about institutional demand for compliant onchain products. (05:18 - 08:51) Why Hyperliquid's launch of an S&P 500 perpetual matters beyond a single product: the significance of securing an official S&P license, why this helps validate Hyperliquid as more than a crypto-only venue, and how it could set a precedent for more licensed benchmark exposure to move onchain. (08:51 - 18:58) Breaking down the new SEC-CFTC digital commodity taxonomy: how it reduces legal ambiguity, why that matters for institutional allocation, and why it may benefit altcoins (18:58 - 26:21) Ethereum's emerging supply sink: why BlackRock's staked ETH ETF changes the demand story, how staking and treasury holdings are reducing ETH's tradable float, and why that could become increasingly important for Ethereum's long-run supply-demand profileSpeakers:  David Duong, CFA - Global Head of Investment Research (X: DavidDuong)  Colin Basco - Research Associate (X: colin_basco) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode In this episode of Coffee with Carm and a Coach, Carm Capriotto and leadership coach Murray Voth explain why traditional employee reviews often fail to build trust, engagement, or real growth. Instead, they advocate replacing formal evaluations with ongoing “Career Alignment Meetings,” and one-on-one conversations focused on coaching, open dialogue, and removing obstacles. They discuss the shop owner's role as a coach, the importance of onboarding and positional clarity, and why wage discussions should be separated from development conversations. Murray also shares practical tools, including the three key questions that drive meaningful feedback and real-time coaching moments. This episode offers a modern, human-centered approach to leadership that strengthens culture, improves communication, and helps employees and shops grow together.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Lucy Appert, Senior Director of Teaching Excellence & Innovation at NYU Arts & Science, and host of the new NYU Office of Teaching Excellence and Innovation's podcast, What Learning Looks Like. As an academic with 25+ years of teaching experience and a deep commitment to student-centered practices, Lucy shared with us her insights on what learning truly means in an age of AI-driven "efficiency."Together, we discuss a key problem in higher education: while educators may accept the messy, developmental nature of learning, students are being marketed an idealized reality where AI-supplemented education is frictionless and instantaneous. The What Learning Looks Like podcast offers a counter-messaging to this misleading EdTech and AI marketing. Instead, true learning involves struggle, synthesis, and personal transformation. Lucy also challenges one of higher education's most persistent “Dead Ideas”: that we cannot change. From pandemic pivots to new faculty communities exploring AI in the classroom, it is clear that higher education is very capable of fluctuation and change. Explore the What Learning Looks Like podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-learning-looks-like/id1839490516 Other materials referenced in this episode: Learning Objectives & Bloom's Taxonomy

Jordan Morris is known to Maximum Fun fans as the funny and engaging co-host of Jordan, Jesse, Go! and Free With Ads. He also makes comics, such as the new Predator: Bloodshed series. It's all about the Predator, monster sci-fi icon, and his efforts to purchase and install a new shed to put all his blood in. He goes to Home Depot, he tries building one himself after watching YouTube videos, but all the sheds leak blood out, ruining the Predator's begonias. None of that is true. But there really is a Predator: Bloodshed series, Jordan is behind it, and it's quite entertaining, as is Jordan. On our program, Jordan tells us all about the many iterations of Godzilla and how the canonical word for the sound Godzilla makes is “skreeonk.” Will it be hard to sleep thinking about Godzilla?

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Larry Swanson, a knowledge architect, community builder, and host of the Knowledge Graph Insights podcast. They explore the relationship between knowledge graphs and ontologies, why these technologies matter in the age of AI, and how symbolic AI complements the current wave of large language models. The conversation traces the history of neuro-symbolic AI from its origins at Dartmouth in 1956 through the semantic web vision of Tim Berners-Lee, examining why knowledge architecture remains underappreciated despite being deployed at major enterprises like Netflix, Amazon, and LinkedIn. Swanson explains how RDF (Resource Description Framework) enables both machines and humans to work with structured knowledge in ways that relational databases can't, while Alsop shares his journey from knowledge management director to understanding the practical necessity of ontologies for business operations. They discuss the philosophical roots of the field, the separation between knowledge management practitioners and knowledge engineers, and why startups often overlook these approaches until scale demands them. You can find Larry's podcast at KGI.fm or search for Knowledge Graph Insights on Spotify and YouTube.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Knowledge Graphs and Ontologies01:09 The Importance of Ontologies in AI04:14 Philosophy's Role in Knowledge Management10:20 Debating the Relevance of RDF15:41 The Distinction Between Knowledge Management and Knowledge Engineering21:07 The Human Element in AI and Knowledge Architecture25:07 Startups vs. Enterprises: The Knowledge Gap29:57 Deterministic vs. Probabilistic AI32:18 The Marketing of AI: A Historical Perspective33:57 The Role of Knowledge Architecture in AI39:00 Understanding RDF and Its Importance44:47 The Intersection of AI and Human Intelligence50:50 Future Visions: AI, Ontologies, and Human BehaviorKey Insights1. Knowledge Graphs Combine Structure and Instances Through Ontological Design. A knowledge graph is built using an ontology that describes a specific domain you want to understand or work with. It includes both an ontological description of the terrain—defining what things exist and how they relate to one another—and instances of those things mapped to real-world data. This combination of abstract structure and concrete examples is what makes knowledge graphs powerful for discovery, question-answering, and enabling agentic AI systems. Not everyone agrees on the precise definition, but this understanding represents the practical approach most knowledge architects use when building these systems.2. Ontology Engineering Has Deep Philosophical Roots That Inform Modern Practice. The field draws heavily from classical philosophy, particularly ontology (the nature of what you know), epistemology (how you know what you know), and logic. These thousands-year-old philosophical frameworks provide the rigorous foundation for modern knowledge representation. Living in Heidelberg surrounded by philosophers, Swanson has discovered how much of knowledge graph work connects upstream to these philosophical roots. This philosophical grounding becomes especially important during times when institutional structures are collapsing, as we need to create new epistemological frameworks for civilization—knowledge management and ontology become critical tools for restructuring how we understand and organize information.3. The Semantic Web Vision Aimed to Transform the Internet Into a Distributed Database. Twenty-five years ago, Tim Berners-Lee, Jim Hendler, and Ora Lassila published a landmark article in Scientific American proposing the semantic web. While Berners-Lee had already connected documents across the web through HTML and HTTP, the semantic web aimed to connect all the data—essentially turning the internet into a giant database. This vision led to the development of RDF (Resource Description Framework), which emerged from DARPA research and provides the technical foundation for building knowledge graphs and ontologies. The origin story involved solving simple but important problems, like disambiguating whether "Cook" referred to a verb, noun, or a person's name at an academic conference.4. Symbolic AI and Neural Networks Represent Complementary Approaches Like Fast and Slow Thinking. Drawing on Kahneman's "thinking fast and slow" framework, LLMs represent the "fast brain"—learning monsters that can process enormous amounts of information and recognize patterns through natural language interfaces. Symbolic AI and knowledge graphs represent the "slow brain"—capturing actual knowledge and facts that can counter hallucinations and provide deterministic, explainable reasoning. This complementarity is driving the re-emergence of neuro-symbolic AI, which combines both approaches. The fundamental distinction is that symbolic AI systems are deterministic and can be fully explained, while LLMs are probabilistic and stochastic, making them unsuitable for applications requiring absolute reliability, such as industrial robotics or pharmaceutical research.5. Knowledge Architecture Remains Underappreciated Despite Powering Major Enterprises. While machine learning engineers currently receive most of the attention and budget, knowledge graphs actually power systems at Netflix (the economic graph), Amazon (the product graph), LinkedIn, Meta, and most major enterprises. The technology has been described as "the most astoundingly successful failure in the history of technology"—the semantic web vision seemed to fail, yet more than half of web pages now contain RDF-formatted semantic markup through schema.org, and every major enterprise uses knowledge graph technology in the background. Knowledge architects remain underappreciated partly because the work is cognitively difficult, requires talking to people (which engineers often avoid), and most advanced practitioners have PhDs in computer science, logic, or philosophy.6. RDF's Simple Subject-Predicate-Object Structure Enables Meaning and Data Linking. Unlike relational databases that store data in tables with rows and columns, RDF uses the simplest linguistic structure: subject-predicate-object (like "Larry knows Stuart"). Each element has a unique URI identifier, which permits precise meaning and enables linked data across systems. This graph structure makes it much easier to connect data after the fact compared to navigating tabular structures in relational databases. On top of RDF sits an entire stack of technologies including schema languages, query languages, ontological languages, and constraints languages—everything needed to turn data into actionable knowledge. The goal is inferring or articulating knowledge from RDF-structured data.7. The Future Requires Decoupled Modular Architectures Combining Multiple AI Approaches. The vision for the future involves separation of concerns through microservices-like architectures where different systems handle what they do best. LLMs excel at discovering possibilities and generating lists, while knowledge graphs excel at articulating human-vetted, deterministic versions of that information that systems can reliably use. Every one of Swanson's 300 podcast interviews over ten years ultimately concludes that regardless of technology, success comes down to human beings, their behavior, and the cultural changes needed to implement systems. The assumption that we can simply eliminate people from processes misses that huma...

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop explores the complex world of context and knowledge graphs with guest Youssef Tharwat, the founder of NoodlBox who is building dot get for context. Their conversation spans from the philosophical nature of context and its crucial role in AI development, to the technical challenges of creating deterministic tools for software development. Tharwat explains how his product creates portable, versionable knowledge graphs from code repositories, leveraging the semantic relationships already present in programming languages to provide agents with better contextual understanding. They discuss the limitations of large context windows, the advantages of Rust for AI-assisted development, the recent Claude/Bun acquisition, and the broader geopolitical implications of the AI race between big tech companies and open-source alternatives. The conversation also touches on the sustainability of current AI business models and the potential for more efficient, locally-run solutions to challenge the dominance of compute-heavy approaches.For more information about NoodlBox and to join the beta, visit NoodlBox.io.Timestamps00:00 Stewart introduces Youssef Tharwat, founder of NoodlBox, building context management tools for programming05:00 Context as relevant information for reasoning; importance when hitting coding barriers10:00 Knowledge graphs enable semantic traversal through meaning vs keywords/files15:00 Deterministic vs probabilistic systems; why critical applications need 100% reliability20:00 CLI tool makes knowledge graphs portable, versionable artifacts with code repos25:00 Compiler front-ends, syntax trees, and Rust's superior feedback for AI-assisted coding30:00 Claude's Bun acquisition signals potential shift toward runtime compilation and graph-based context35:00 Open source vs proprietary models; user frustration with rate limits and subscription tactics40:00 Singularity path vs distributed sovereignty of developers building alternative architectures45:00 Global economics and why brute force compute isn't sustainable worldwide50:00 Corporate inefficiencies vs independent engineering; changing workplace dynamics55:00 February open beta for NoodlBox.io; vision for new development tool standardsKey Insights1. Context is semantic information that enables proper reasoning, and traditional LLM approaches miss the mark. Youssef defines context as the information you need to reason correctly about something. He argues that larger context windows don't scale because quality degrades with more input, similar to human cognitive limitations. This insight challenges the Silicon Valley approach of throwing more compute at the problem and suggests that semantic separation of information is more optimal than brute force methods.2. Code naturally contains semantic boundaries that can be modeled into knowledge graphs without LLM intervention. Unlike other domains where knowledge graphs require complex labeling, code already has inherent relationships like function calls, imports, and dependencies. Youssef leverages these existing semantic structures to automatically build knowledge graphs, making his approach deterministic rather than probabilistic. This provides the reliability that software development has historically required.3. Knowledge graphs can be made portable, versionable, and shareable as artifacts alongside code repositories. Youssef's vision treats context as a first-class citizen in version control, similar to how Git manages code. Each commit gets a knowledge graph snapshot, allowing developers to see conceptual changes over time and share semantic understanding with collaborators. This transforms context from an ephemeral concept into a concrete, manageable asset.4. The dependency problem in modern development can be solved through pre-indexed knowledge graphs of popular packages. Rather than agents struggling with outdated API documentation, Youssef pre-indexes popular npm packages into knowledge graphs that automatically integrate with developers' projects. This federated approach ensures agents understand exact APIs and current versions, eliminating common frustrations with deprecated methods and unclear documentation.5. Rust provides superior feedback loops for AI-assisted programming due to its explicit compiler constraints. Youssef rebuilt his tool multiple times in different languages, ultimately settling on Rust because its picky compiler provides constant feedback to LLMs about subtle issues. This creates a natural quality control mechanism that helps AI generate more reliable code, making Rust an ideal candidate for AI-assisted development workflows.6. The current AI landscape faces a fundamental tension between expensive centralized models and the need for global accessibility. The conversation reveals growing frustration with rate limiting and subscription costs from major providers like Claude and Google. Youssef believes something must fundamentally change because $200-300 monthly plans only serve a fraction of the world's developers, creating pressure for more efficient architectures and open alternatives.7. Deterministic tooling built on semantic understanding may provide a competitive advantage against probabilistic AI monopolies. While big tech companies pursue brute force scaling with massive data centers, Youssef's approach suggests that clever architecture using existing semantic structures could level the playing field. This represents a broader philosophical divide between the "singularity" path of infinite compute and the "disagreeably autistic engineer" path of elegant solutions that work locally and affordably.

In this episode we answer emails from Gregory and Isaiah.  We discuss whether tail-hedged ETFs belong in a retirement portfolio, then map out a cleaner path with Treasuries as recession insurance, a value tilt for equity resilience. We also discuss the problems with relying on voices from popular personal finance unless they are well supported by professional and academic teachings, and the importance of the four quadrant model in understanding correlations and diversification.  We also a practical taxonomy for classifying holdings.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterLinks Page at Risk Parity Radio:  Links | Risk Parity RadioAnalysis of Tail Risk ETFs:  testfol.io/analysis?s=jCSSoT7bFReBob Elliot Macro Masterclass:  Bob Elliott, Unlimited Funds – A Macro MasterclassBob Elliot on Excess Returns:  Understanding Economic Cycles | Bob ElliottBob Elliot on The Compound:  The Blue Chips of Junk | TCAF 175Portfolio Tracker:  GitHub - danbuchal/portfolio-tracker: Portfolio Tracker: Track your investments and asset allocationBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Looking for protection without sacrificing long-term returns? We dig into a donor's question about using tail-hedged ETFs like SPD and SPYC for early retirement and explain why constant hedging tends to bleed performance. The core idea is simple: prioritize assets with positive expected returns that also diversify when it matters. That's where long-term Treasuries serve as recession insurance and why picking the right time horizon for correlation analysis changes everything.From there, we zoom out to the four-quadrant framework—growth and inflation as the axes that drive correlations. Stocks thrive in positive growth with moderate inflation, Treasuries support you in weak growth and disinflation, and assets like gold and managed futures help when inflation shifts. If passive flows are reshaping markets, the practical antidote isn't a new product; it's a value tilt on the equity side. History shows value, especially small-cap value, is a reliable counterweight when growth-heavy indexes crack.We also share a clear, DIY method to audit and classify your holdings ahead of retirement. Start with growth vs value as your primary lens, use size as a secondary tilt, and treat international exposure as tertiary since currency swings drive much of the variance. Tools like Morningstar and Portfolio Tracker make it easy to roll up accounts, view factor exposure, and keep your targets on track. Finally, we walk through our sample portfolios and a crisp market snapshot—gold's strength, steady REITs and commodities, and how leveraged mixes are faring—to show how these principles play out in real allocations.If this helps you build a stronger plan, follow the show, share it with a friend who's rethinking their hedge, and leave a quick review to help more DIY investors find us.Support the show

In this episode, Nathan Fabian, Chief Sustainable Systems Officer at the PRI, explores how global policy frameworks are evolving to unlock private capital for sustainable development. He is joined by Helena Viñes Fiestas, Commissioner at the Spanish Financial Markets Authority and Co-Chair of the Taskforce on Net Zero Policy, and Eric Usher, Head of the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and PRI Board member.The discussion focuses on the outcomes of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development in Seville and the significance of Paragraph 34 of the Seville Commitment, a milestone recognising the role of well-functioning financial markets in delivering the Sustainable Development Goals.OverviewAs public finance comes under pressure, governments are increasingly focused on creating enabling environments that attract long-term private investment, particularly in emerging and developing economies.Helena and Eric explain why Paragraph 34 marks an important shift: embedding issues such as transparency, disclosures, taxonomies and market integrity into a multilateral development framework. They discuss how this convergence of development, climate and financial policy could help mobilise capital at scale, if implemented effectively.Detailed coverageFrom development aid to market-based solutionsEric explains how financing for sustainable development has traditionally focused on public finance, debt and governance, but is now recognising the need for private capital and functioning financial markets to deliver long-term outcomes.Policy momentum beyond Europe and North AmericaHelena shares findings from the Taskforce on Net Zero Policy, showing that most new sustainable finance policies adopted last year emerged outside Europe and North America, particularly across Asia-Pacific. She highlights why global companies and investors will increasingly need to align with these frameworks.What's inside Paragraph 34The guests outline how Paragraph 34 references a broad set of tools, from sustainability disclosures and taxonomies to market transparency, covering environmental and social objectives across the SDGs.Development banks, DFIs and private capitalBoth guests reflect on the growing role of development finance institutions (DFIs) in de-risking investments and creating pathways for pension funds and asset managers to invest in emerging markets.Taxonomies and interoperabilityWith over 50 taxonomies now in development globally, the discussion explores why interoperability, rather than a single global standard, is essential for attracting international capital while reflecting local economic realities.From policy design to implementationHelena highlights lessons from Europe's experience: the need for better engagement with industry, tailored approaches for SMEs, capacity building for supervisors, and a stronger balance between incentives and regulation.The responsibility of investingIn closing reflections, Eric emphasises dynamic materiality and the role of science in understanding long-term risk, while Helena highlights the growing responsibility of investors, and citizens, to align capital with sustainable outcomes.For more information on the compromiso de sevilla, see our...

What if EMS educators placed as much focus on emotional intelligence, empathy, and reflective practice as they do knowledge and skills? Listen in as hosts Maia Dorsett, Hilary Gates and Rob Lawrence talk with Liz Harney, quality assurance leader at Baptist Health in Kentucky and former paramedic program director, to explore the often-overlooked affective domain of EMS education.  Liz shares how her frustration with the neglect of the affective domain inspired her to transform her own EMS instruction—bringing emotion, awareness, and humanity into every case study, scenario, and clinical rotation. From teaching students to manage bias and self-regulate under pressure, to modeling vulnerability and connection as educators, this conversation reveals how intentional focus on the affective domain can elevate not only patient care, but also the well-being and longevity of EMS clinicians.

Are you a mentor or expected to be one in your clinic? If you're like most neuro clinicians you're taking students and your colleagues are always picking your brain about their neuro patients. This episode was inspired by a Sparky question from Jackie who asked what do I need to do in order to become a good mentor? Hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS brought on Dr. Elise Ruckert, PT, DPT, EdD, NCS to teach us how to be a great mentor. Elise, a self proclaimed “educational pedagogy nerd,” has trained mentors for many years to regional and national audiences. She illuminates the nuanced world of mentorship, emphasizing that it's far more than a one-way transfer of knowledge. Instead, mentorship is a dynamic, bi-directional relationship where both mentor and mentee contribute and learn from each other. She challenges the traditional view of mentoring as simply imparting information, instead framing it as a collaborative journey of professional growth. The discussion explores critical frameworks for effective mentoring, including Bloom's Taxonomy and Donald Schön's reflection types. These approaches help mentors ask more meaningful questions, moving beyond surface-level content to deeper levels of critical thinking and professional development. The discussion also expanded into the topic of interdisciplinary mentorship, with insights into how mentors can effectively work across different healthcare disciplines. The podcast emphasizes that mentorship extends beyond clinical skills, encompassing communication, professional development, and broader contextual understanding.

In this calm, reflective conversation, Lewis and Wem sit down with play worker and artist Max Alexander of Play Radical to explore autistic play as a joyful, valid, and richly varied landscape. Max shares how one to one playwork can reconnect isolated young people to authentic play, why reflection habits from nursing training shaped their practice, and how non extractive documentation like session haiku can honour privacy while communicating value. The trio unpack the difference between rigid taxonomies and Max's lighter play shapes, discuss why autistic play matters for wellbeing today rather than only for future outcomes, and explore practitioner shorthand that helps teams notice and scaffold emerging shapes. The second half turns to adult play, instincts, and the social barriers that police how bodies move in public. The result is a practical and humane guide to noticing more, intervening less, and creating space where play can breathe.TENTSILE is supporting this episode.

Throughout almost 100 episodes of the Good Future podcast we've traced the evolution of the sustainable investment sector. But now we're entering a new era of sustainable finance, where climate risk reporting, impact measurement and climate-tech innovation have become core parts of investment management. Sustainable investing has matured, and that's in large part due to a global push to define precisely what it means to be ‘sustainable', with a huge contribution being made by the development of sustainable finance taxonomies all over the world. Last month we saw the launch of Australia's very own Taxonomy, and today we're joined by the perfect guest to help us make sense of it all., and that's Linda Romanovska. She helps us understand why it's important, how we can use it, and how it compares and interacts with other global models. Linda is a global taxonomy expert, she's contributed to the development of sustainable finance taxonomies in the EU, South Asia and right here in Australia. At the same time she's worked as a senior sustainable finance advisor working with boutique consultancies as well as the Big4. And if that's not enough to keep her busy, she's also doing a PHD exploring the intersection of nature and sustainable finance. I learned so much in this episode, and I hope you do too. Linda's insights are really practical, breaking down the nature of a taxonomy within the global context, highlighting sectors where it has the potential to make an impact, and, how it fits within the broader sustainable finance roadmap in Australia. Also, we've produced a One-page Taxonomy FIELD GUIDE. Outlining the key opportunities of aligning a portfolio with the Australian framework, and how it compares globally.Find it on my website at www.Johntreadgold.com While you're there you can find all the show notes for the episode, and you can sign up for my newsletter where I share regular impact insights, plus, you'll be the first to know about new podcast episodes as they drop.

Read transcriptWelcome to another gloriously chaotic episode of Play Comics, where today's adventure features everyone's favorite lasagna-loving, Monday-hating tabby cat stumbling through the digital wasteland of Garfield: The Search for Pooky on the Game Boy Advance. Because apparently, losing a teddy bear is serious enough business to warrant an entire platforming odyssey filled with death pits, questionable physics, and mice that probably deserve their own organized crime documentary. Joining us for this tale of feline desperation and handheld gaming horrors is the phenomenally creative Ryan Estrada—artist, author, and genuine adventurer who has somehow managed to create official comics for everyone from Star Trek to Popeye to (yes, indeed) Garfield himself. When he's not crafting award-nominated graphic novels like Banned Book Club or wandering through actual adventures that sound like they belong in their own comic series, Ryan brings the perfect blend of insider knowledge and artistic sensibility to help us navigate this particular slice of orange cat chaos. So grab your favorite plush companion (and maybe hide it somewhere safe), prepare for some seriously questionable level design choices, and settle in for an episode that explores what happens when beloved comic strip characters get translated into the unforgiving world of Game Boy Advance platforming. Will our heroes survive Garfield's glacially-paced walking speed? Can anyone explain why this cat can leap tall buildings but still can't find a simple teddy bear? And most importantly, does this game capture the essence of Jim Davis's creation, or does it just make us want to curl up for a very long nap? Learn such things as: Is there anything more important than lasagna and naps? Do you ever need to grow out of your favorite stuffed friend? How do you manage when your worst enemy is your own laziness? And does that make Garfield much deeper than we ever gave it credit for? And so much more!

Fungi used to be considered plants. Bad plants. Carl Linnaeus even referred to them as “the poorest peasants” of the vegetable class. This reputation stuck, and fungi were considered a nuisance in the Western world well into the 20th century.Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian is trying to rewrite that narrative. Her new book, Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature catalogs fungi that sprout from the shells of beetles, morph with their sexual partners into one being and exhibit as many as 23,000 mating types. Patty believes that fungi's ability to defy our cut and dry assumptions about the natural world is actually their superpower. All it takes is to first accept that they're queer as heck. Featuring Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian. Produced by Marina Henke.

Visit the fungi exhibit that Marina toured at the New York State Museum: Outcasts: Mary Banning's World of Mushrooms.Patty has had the chance to name several new species of fungi. In 2021 she published an article documenting those species, with some pretty great photos of laboulbeniales (those are the fungi that grow from arthropod shells). Check out C. L. Porter's 1969 address to the Indiana Academy of Sciences where he critiques fellow mycologists for being “meek.” It's brutal.One of Patty's favorite films is Microcosmos, a 1996 French documentary that investigates the daily interactions of insects. It's not direct mushroom content per se, but it is beautiful.

Millions of years ago, iguanas somehow got from North America to Fiji. Scientists think they made the trip on a raft of fallen vegetation. Also, the marine reptile's fossilized fetus is cluing paleontologists into the lives of ancient sea creatures.Ancient Iguanas Floated 5,000 Miles Across The PacificIf you picture iguanas, you might imagine them sunbathing on hot sand in the Caribbean or skittering around the Mojave Desert. But far, far away from where these iguanas are found is another group of iguanas living on the islands of Fiji and Tonga in the South Pacific—closer to New Zealand than the Americas. And it raises the question: How in the world did these iguanas end up all alone, on the other side of the ocean? In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in March, scientists suggest that millions of years ago, iguanas hitched a ride on a raft and accidentally sailed all the way across the ocean before washing ashore and starting a new life. Host Flora Lichtman discusses the iguanas' intrepid adventure with lead author Dr. Simon Scarpetta, evolutionary biologist and assistant professor at the University of San Francisco in California.Meet Fiona, The Pregnant Icthyosaur FossilIn the Patagonia region of Chile, Torres del Paine National Park is a graveyard of ichthyosaurs—ancient, dolphin-like reptiles that roamed the oceans when dinosaurs dominated the land. Nearly 90 of these giant reptiles' fossils have been found amongst the glaciers. But the standout in the bone heap is Fiona, an ichthyosaur that lived 131 million years ago. She's in pristine condition, the only fully preserved ichthyosaur in Chile. And, she died pregnant. She's teaching paleontologists about the evolution of her species. And some of those findings were recently published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. Host Flora Lichtman talks with lead author Dr. Judith Pardo-Pérez, paleontologist at the University of Magallanes in Chile.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
