In the final episode of The Nuclear Threshold, A'ndre speaks with Alexandra Bell, President & CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and one of the leading U.S. diplomats behind recent efforts to strengthen arms control and reduce nuclear risks. Building on the technical and command-and-control foundations laid by Laura Grego and Steve Fetter, this conversation shifts to the political and diplomatic fault lines that make today's nuclear landscape uniquely dangerous.Alexandra explains why nuclear policy has fallen out of public view even as the world edges closer to crisis, and why diplomacy — often undervalued and underfunded — remains the only real mechanism for preventing disaster. Drawing on her experience negotiating the New START Treaty and other engagements, she breaks down the collapse of Cold War–era treaties, the rise of new nuclear states, and the challenge of rebuilding trust in a multipolar world.We also explore how deterrence theory holds up in an era of political volatility and weapons on minutes-notice alert. Alexandra discusses realistic steps the United States and others could take to reduce tensions, the role of scientific cooperation when politics freeze, and why public engagement has always been the catalyst for major progress on nuclear issues.As the Doomsday Clock sits closer to midnight than ever, Alexandra makes the case for “fearless diplomacy” — and why, despite the risks, the path away from catastrophe is still possible if governments and citizens choose it.

The phrase “#Bitcoin native” gets used everywhere — but according to Callan Sarre, truly Bitcoin-native DeFi still isn't here. In this interview, Sarre breaks down why Bitcoin's architecture limits native DeFi activity today, and how the Threshold Network (and tBTC) is bridging Bitcoin into a multi-chain DeFi world without sacrificing security.We cover what “Bitcoin-native DeFi” should actually mean, the tradeoffs of bridging BTC, and how Threshold is positioning itself as infrastructure for the next phase of Bitcoin finance.⏱️ Chapters:00:00 Understanding Bitcoin's Architecture and Limitations02:47 Overview of Threshold Network and tBTC06:09 Integration with MezzoChain and Bitcoin Staking09:05 The Concept of Bitcoin Native DeFi11:48 Threshold's Growth and Market Strategy15:06 Governance and Execution in Threshold DAO17:58 Future Products and Revenue Models21:00 Bridging Centralized and Decentralized Bitcoin Economies

Sermon by Liz Harlan-Ferlo, Canon for Spirituality Education & Arts, recorded live at the 10:00 am service on the First Sunday of Advent, November 30, 2025.

Two former UK Chancellors, Jeremy Hunt and Kwasi Kwarteng, provide a brutal, emergency budget analysis, revealing how Labour's policies are crippling the UK economy. Discover the shocking truth about £70 billion in new taxes, how "fiscal drag" and frozen thresholds are making your money erode faster than ever, and why this is the biggest issue facing the country right now. BEST MOMENTS "I think that I felt a bit betrayed... growth was completely sacrificed to the internal Labour Party debate about welfare spend." "The problem with the situation we're in... is that we've got welfare states that were created... 80 years ago... and we have a lot less money, a lot less growth." "The dollar in 2020... is worth 25% more than it is today. So that's in straight-line terms, 5% depreciation every year."

State of the Arts Episode 261 is now available on Spotify! As creative industries continue to absorb the rapid shifts brought on by technological innovation, the relationship between human imagination and artificial intelligence has become one of the defining questions of contemporary artistic practice. This episode takes a step back from the sensationalism that often saturates discussions on AI to consider a broader historical and cultural view: how tools have always shaped the contours of artistic work, how each era negotiates its own anxieties around innovation, and how the current moment reflects long-standing patterns rather than abrupt rupture.

In this message, Pastor Amy Carter walks us through a message about navigating the in-between seasons of life—those hallway moments where old doors have closed and new ones aren't open yet. Through Jacob's wrestle with God and real-life stories, you'll be encouraged to surrender control, lean into God's timing, and recognize how He uses discomfort to reshape your identity and prepare you for what's next. This is a hope-filled word for anyone feeling stuck, suspended, or quietly wondering, “Is there more?”

We had the opportunity to hang out with two of our favourite podcasters: Amy Martin of Threshold, and Amy Westervelt of Drilled.We've previously featured both of their work on the Future Ecologies feed, and we couldn't pass up the chance to talk shop about the latest (fantastic) seasons of their respective shows, and get to know more about their personal journey. That's this episode: Part 1In the supporter-exclusive Part 2, we get into more of a roundtable on the practice of environmental journalism and podcasting in these especially scary and chaotic times. For the two of us, unschooled and unqualified in anything resembling journalism, it was a blast to have the privilege of what ended up being a private consulting session with two of our heroes.

Most of us do our inner work in solitude. We build awareness. We regulate. We deepen into self-trust. But eventually— life invites us to take that inner work into our relationships. Specifically, into our adult relationships. This is what I explore in Part Three of The Threshold series: how the emotional mastery I've cultivated privately is showing up inside my partnership, my parenting, and the beautiful complexity of blending families. This episode is not about theory.  It's about practice. About what it means to stay present when you want to disconnect. To choose curiosity in moments of discomfort. To share the responsibility of safety. Inside, I explore: What co-regulation really looks like in adult love How two nervous systems shape the quality of connection Why presence matters more than perfection The moments that turn emotional work into lived healing If you're on your own path of becoming— and want to show up more fully inside your relationships—this is your episode. LISTEN ON SPOTIFY LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS   If this speaks to where you are, The Emotional Reset is the next step.

Kennst du das? Neun Klicks sind blitzschnell, der zehnte hängt gefühlt ewig. Genau da frisst die Tail Latency deine User Experience und der Durchschnittswert hilft dir kein bisschen. In dieser Episode tauchen wir in Request Hedging ein, also das bewusste Duplizieren von Requests, um P99 zu drücken und Ausreißer zu entschärfen.Wir starten mit einem kurzen Recap zu Resilience Engineering: Timeouts, Retries, Exponential Backoff, Jitter, Circuit Breaker. Danach gehen wir tief rein ins Hedging: Was ist der Hedge Threshold, warum optimieren wir auf Tail statt Head Latency und wie Perzentile wie P50, P95 und P99 die Sicht auf Performance verändern. Wir zeigen, wie du Hedging sicher umsetzt, ohne dein Backend zu überlasten, wo Idempotenz Pflicht ist und warum Schreibzugriffe besonders heikel sind.In der Praxis klären wir, wie du Requests sauber cancelst: HTTP 1.1 via FIN und Reset, HTTP 2 mit RESET_STREAM, gRPC Support und wie Go mit Context Cancellation nativ hilft. Zum Tooling gibt es echte Beispiele: Envoy als Cloud-native Proxy mit Hedging, gRPC, Open Source Erfahrungen. In der Datenbankwelt sprechen wir über Read Hedging, Quorum Reads und Write-Constraints bei Cassandra und Kafka, über Vitess im MySQL-Universum und Grenzen von PG Bouncer. Auch Caches wie Redis und Memcached sowie DNS Patterns wie Happy Eyeballs sind am Start. Historisch ordnen wir das Ganze mit The Tail at Scale von Jeff Dean ein und schauen, wie Google, Netflix, Uber, LinkedIn oder Cloudflare Hedging verwenden.Am Ende nimmst du klare Best Practices mit: Hedging gezielt auf Tail Latency einsetzen, Requests wirklich canceln, Idempotenz sicherstellen, dynamische Thresholds mit Observability füttern und deine Guardrails definieren.Neugierig, ob Hedging dein P99 rettet, ohne dich selbst zu ddosen? Genau darum geht es.Bonus: Hedgehog hat damit nichts zu tun, auch wenn der Name dazu verführt.Keywords: Resilience Engineering, Request Hedging, Tail Latency, P99, Perzentile, Microservices, HTTP 2, gRPC, Go Context, Observability, Monitoring, Prometheus, Grafana, Envoy, Open Source, Cassandra, Kafka, Vitess, Redis, Memcached, Quorum Reads, Tech Community, Networking.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

There's a part of growth we don't talk about enough. The lag. That uncomfortable, disorienting space between what's changed in your life…and who you know yourself to be. Even when you've done the work, even when you understand the expansion, your nervous system might still be holding on to the version of you that felt safe. This isn't resistance. It's protection. And integration is the process of honoring it. In this episode of the podcast, I'm diving into The Threshold Part 2 and I'm opening up about my own season of growth— and the quiet, messy, embodied work of catching up to your own evolution. Inside, we explore: Why cognitive growth isn't enough (and what your body really needs) The biological lag between change and safety How identity expands through emotional regulation, not reinvention The subtle ways high-achieving women try to control safety What integration actually looks like in a woman's life If you've been feeling the pull toward something bigger— but also feel unsettled by how it's showing up—this is your episode.

In the second installment of The Nuclear Threshold mini-series, we turn from missile defense to the human side of nuclear risk — the people, protocols, and split-second judgments that determine whether nuclear weapons are ever used. While deterrence is often framed as a stable system, history tells a far messier story: false alarms, malfunctioning sensors, training tapes mistaken for real attacks, and leaders operating under extreme pressure.Our guest, Dr. Steve Fetter — Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Maryland, former Assistant Director in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and member of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Science and Security Board — walks us through how nuclear launch authority actually works inside the U.S. system. We explore why the president has sole authority, why that concentration of power is riskier than most Americans realize, and how “launch-on-warning” creates a decision window measured in minutes.Steve breaks down famous near-miss incidents, the vulnerabilities of command-and-control systems, and his proposal to require concurrence from other top officials before any nuclear order is carried out. The conversation is grounded, accessible, and quietly unsettling — a reminder that deterrence relies on human beings who can make mistakes.This episode asks a deceptively simple question with civilization-level implications:How safe is a system that depends on one person getting everything right?

Send us a textIn this conversation, Millie is joined by her client, Cece DeSimone, for their third session, to discuss her experiences with dog training, focusing on her dog Mabel and a new foster dog, Batman. The session covers various training techniques, behavioral challenges, socialization with other dogs, crate training, and managing excessive chewing behavior. The conversation emphasizes the importance of spatial pressure in training and the need for consistent correction to address unwanted behaviors. TakeawaysMabel is improving with training techniques.Spatial pressure is crucial for effective training.Immediate correction helps reinforce boundaries.Socialization with other dogs is essential for behavior.Understanding dog play dynamics is important for safety.Crate training should involve clear pressure techniques.Excessive chewing can be managed with supervision.E-collar training can enhance control during play.Consistency in training leads to better results.Building relevancy with the dog is key to effective training.Support the showFollow Us On Instagram: @thinklikeadogpodcast @Mirrorimagek9 @OzzieAlbiesFoundation Work with Mirror Image K9 here: https://www.mirrorimagek9.com/contactusBe Our Guest: https://www.thinklikeadogpodcast.com Learn More About The Best Chance Program: https://www.ozziealbiesfoundation.org/

Continuum is solving the multi-party return problem in B2B supply chain—a transaction involving distributors, manufacturers, and end users that previously took 30-45 days and now completes in 30-45 seconds. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Alex Witcpalek, CEO and Founder of Continuum, to unpack how he's building what he calls "reverse EDI" in a market of 1.5 million distribution and manufacturing companies across North America. After 13 years selling technology into this space, Alex is now growing 8x year-over-year by turning customers into the primary acquisition channel through network effects. Topics Discussed: Why multi-party returns require replicating order management, warehouse management, and procurement systems simultaneously The tactical sequencing of building network businesses: solving for independent value, achieving critical mass, then activating network effects How Continuum navigates deep ERP integrations (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Epicor) plus bespoke business logic across multiple supply chain tiers Facebook retargeting, BDR outbound, events, and customer referrals as the four channels driving growth in a non-PLG market Why business model differentiation is the only remaining moat when technical barriers collapse Building domain expertise distribution systems using AI-powered LMS fed by sales call recordings GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Choose problems where you can capture 100% of addressable market, not fractional share: Alex deliberately avoided competing in CRM, sales order automation, or accounts payable—categories where even dominant players cap at 25-30% market penetration. Instead, he targeted multi-party reverse logistics, a greenfield problem no one else was solving. This strategic choice eliminates competitive displacement risk and allows every prospect conversation to focus on change management rather than competitive differentiation. Founders should map their TAM against competitive saturation: markets where you can own the entire category create fundamentally different growth trajectories than fighting for fragments. Sequence network businesses: independent value → critical mass → network activation: Alex was told by investors 18 months in that network effects "weren't going to work." His insight: "When you don't have a network, you don't sell the network. It's just in your plans and how you're building." Continuum sold P&L impact, manual labor reduction, and customer experience improvements to early adopters while building network infrastructure invisibly. Only after achieving density in specific verticals (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) did they surface the network value proposition. This sequencing prevents the cold-start problem—founders building marketplace or network businesses must design standalone value that makes the first 100 customers successful independent of network density. Exploit high pain thresholds in legacy industries as competitive barriers: Supply chain companies accept 30-45 day return cycles, manual warranty claims on paper, and playing "guess who" by phone to find inventory across distributor branches. Alex notes they have "extremely high pain threshold" from living with broken systems for decades. While this creates longer education cycles, it also means competitors won't enter (too hard) and once you prove ROI, switching costs become prohibitive. Founders should reframe customer inertia: industries tolerating obvious inefficiencies offer category creation opportunities with built-in moats, not just sales friction. Business model architecture is the only defensible moat—technical differentiation is dead: Alex is building his own e-signature platform (Continue Sign) and AI LMS using vibe coding to prove technical moats no longer exist. Continuum's defensibility comes entirely from network lock-in: displacing them requires disconnecting manufacturers like Carrier, Daikin, and Bosch plus their entire distributor ecosystems simultaneously. He references EDI (1960s technology still dominant today) as proof that network effects create permanent advantages. Founders must architect switching costs, network density, or proprietary data advantages into their business model—technology alone provides zero protection in the AI era. Match channel strategy to actual ICP behavior, not SaaS conventions: Continuum's top lead source is customer-driven network growth—distributors recruiting manufacturers and vice versa. Facebook retargeting works because their 50+ year-old supply chain buyers "are trying to comment on their grandkids' pictures," not scrolling LinkedIn. BDR outbound still delivers high win rates in an industry where business happens on handshakes, making events critical. This channel mix would fail for PLG products but works perfectly for enterprise cycles with $40K ACVs and 90-day sales processes. Founders should ethnographically research where their specific buyers actually spend attention rather than defaulting to LinkedIn, content marketing, or PLG based on what works in adjacent categories. Use 90-day enterprise cycles and multi-stakeholder complexity as qualification, not friction: Continuum runs enterprise sales motions for $40K deals because multi-party returns touch 16 constituents across sales, customer service, fleet, supply chain, warehouse, purchasing, and finance. Rather than trying to simplify buying, Alex uses this complexity as a filter—companies willing to coordinate VP of Supply Chain, COO, and CFO alignment are serious buyers. He layers three value propositions (P&L impact, labor reduction, customer experience) knowing different stakeholders weight them differently. Founders selling into complex environments should embrace multi-threading as a qualification mechanism that improves win rates and reduces churn, not overhead to eliminate. //  Sponsors:  Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire  Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Robyn dropped a new song (after a 7 year break) called "Dopamine" + it sent me into a very real reflection on how much of my life used to run on the chase - the high, the hit, the fantasy of “maybe this is it" (*the thing* that'll SAVE me from my pain/struggle/suffering...lol!). Ironically, the song dropped THE SAME DAY I was on my way to a ceremony in NYC to take deeper Buddhist commitments (no accidents). And my ceremony fell almost to the day of my 20 year anniversary of moving to NYC in my early 20s. Talk about full-circle moments. And it's very clear to me now: the contrast is impossible to ignore. I'm currently in a chapter of devotion - keeping vows, daily practice, repetition, deepening - not novelty-hopping anymore in ANY area of my life. This episode explores the shift from craving to commitment - and why depth hits differently. → Work with me inside The Threshold (90-min session) or ALCHEMY (12-month bespoke 1:1 mentorship): https://www.alisonlessard.com/tsap

The political outfit formerly known as The Opportunities Party is continuing to chase the 5% MMP threshold to enter Parliament. . It's been almost a decade now since the party burst into the political scene, in its early days bankrolled by rich-lister and philanthropist Gareth Morgan who positioned it as a vehicle for "evidence-based" policy that's neither firmly right nor left. . Q+A meets Opportunity's new leader Qiulae Wong, who has a background in sustainable business. Wong says the party has, in the past, been rightly criticised for being overly focused on policy at the expense of connecting with people. .

We also discussed Coach Bob's insights from decades of coaching, the importance of aerobic base building & his view on how athletes must train.Here are some key takeaways: Coach Bob's incredible journey into coaching for track and field athletes, his experience at UCLA, & training Meb Keflezighi to run 300 miles per week.Importance of altitude training & how runners should structure their training week.For an elite and semi-elite, besides the grind, you need an active lifestyle, a supportive coach & a strong aerobic base training to break through.Focus on intensity & pacing. Build your base. Work on your threshold training.Threshold is something you are working hard, but not racing. Recreational runners should start with 20 minutes of threshold training. With Threshold training, you experience less injury, psychologically & physically, you are not breaking down, you get your body under control.‘City Slickers Can't Stay With Me' is an incredible documentary on the life and journey of Coach Bob Larsen.Check out Coach Bob Larsen's Book -https://amzn.in/d/0ut5awHAbout Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

There's a moment in every woman's evolution that can't be mapped or managed. Not with a new routine. Not with better boundaries. Not even with mindset work. Because what's being asked of you… is to hold more. With your nervous system, not just your ambition. In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm doing something different. It's the beginning of a new series called The Threshold — a look inside my own personal and professional evolution, where growth is no longer theoretical… it's visceral. Inside Part One, I share: What expansion really demands of your nervous system Why the "in-between" seasons often feel unsteady (and how to not abandon yourself there) The surprising difference between acceleration and true growth How capacity is built — not through certainty, but through self-compassion   If you're navigating a shift in identity, in relationships, or in your work… this one will land.   LISTEN ON SPOTIFY LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS   And if this conversation resonates — if you're standing on your own threshold between what's known and what's next — join me inside The Precipice. This live masterclass is where we go deeper into what your nervous system truly needs to expand with steadiness.

The Nuclear Threshold is a three-part Burn Bag mini-series exploring how deterrence, defense, and diplomacy shape nuclear risk in the 21st century. Across three conversations with leading experts, we examine why technological optimism often outpaces reality, how fragile human systems sustain deterrence, and whether diplomacy can still prevent catastrophe in an increasingly unstable world.In this first episode, astrophysicist Dr. Laura Grego, Research Director at the Union of Concerned Scientists, joins A'ndre Gonawela to break down the science — and the myths — behind missile defense. Grego explains why the United States' decades-long effort to build a reliable shield against nuclear attack has repeatedly failed, and how those failures risk deepening global instability. From the early “Star Wars” program to today's multi-billion-dollar “Golden Dome” initiative, she unpacks the physics that make missile interception nearly impossible, the political incentives that keep these programs alive, and the illusion of safety that drives them. The conversation explores how misplaced faith in technology can push the world closer to, not further from, the nuclear threshold.

Walking the Threshold: Tending Life, Death, and the Wisdom BeyondLearning to die well is also learning to live with awareness, compassion, and grace. In this conversation, Irene Weinberg talks with Nancy MacMillan, a spiritual health practitioner and psychotherapist, about walking the threshold between life and death and the deep wisdom that arises in that space. Together, they explore how illness, loss, and tending to her mother's final days revealed the sacred work of dying well, the continuing bond with our loved ones, and how embracing death as part of life opens us to greater healing and connection.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:Encountering mortality as portals to wisdom and insight.The ancient art of caring for the dead at home and green burials.Grief as a natural release that helps both the living and the newly departed.The possibility of continuing connections with loved ones after death.Approaching death with intentionality and making conscious choices for our dying time.Simple practices like deep breathing and mindful body attention to stabilize the nervous system.Awakening to the ever-present help of ancestors through gathering stories, lighting candles, and expressing gratitude.The three themes of the book “The Call to the Far Shore”: leaning into death while living, trusting the dying time, and remaining connected with loved ones.Healing as a continuous journey that leads to being more fully alive.Finding joy in life by allowing ourselves to be broken open by grief.WATCH ON YOUTUBE: Walking the Threshold: Tending Life, Death, and the Wisdom BeyondGrab Nancy's The Call to the Far Shore: Carrying Our Loved Ones Through Dying, Death, and Beyond: https://bookshop.org/a/93249/9798888501092---✨ Grief & Rebirth: Healing Resources & Tools ✨

“My job is to make people love choral music as much as I do, and that's a lot. I really love choral music. My job is to say ‘you should care about this.' You might care about it because it's ravishingly beautiful or because it has a story to tell you. Even if you're not a person who relates to choral music, you can relate to stories. We're going to weave some sort of through-line through this program that tells you something about life that we hope resonates with you whether you're a musician or not.”Joshua Habermann is in his seventeenth season as Artistic Director of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, one of the nation's premiere professional chamber choirs.

Even since before October 7, 2023, American Jews have found themselves grappling with what it means to speak out against Israel and the rifts in their communities over their political views. And despite a new ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, the division among Jews in the U.S. about Zionism and anti-Zionism could go on for years to come. In this episode, we revisit our conversations with some people experiencing that division first hand, and we dive deep into the long history of Jewish criticism of Israel with Marjorie Feld, professor of history at Babson College, and author of Threshold of Dissent, A History of American Jewish Critics of Zionism.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
