Keith Rabois has built companies, backed some of Silicon Valley's biggest successes, and earned a reputation as one of the sharpest strategic minds in venture capital. But when Louisa sat down with him, they barely spoke about investing. Instead, they explored the system behind his decision-making: the daily habits he believes keep his brain performing at an elite level. From treating himself like a professional athlete to measuring every workout for more than two decades, Rabois argues that the strongest predictor of longevity isn't genetics or supplements, it's VO₂ max. He explains why every ambitious person should know their VO₂ max, why he believes improving it may have a greater impact than many of the world's biggest public health campaigns, and why he asks founders the same question before asking about their company. You'll hear why he wears a fitness tracker every day, why he hasn't missed more than seven workouts in seven years, and why he believes consistency, not intensity, is what compounds into extraordinary performance. The conversation then moves beyond fitness into the psychology of excellence. Keith explains why he reads for an hour every day, how reading the encyclopedia as a child shaped the way he thinks, and why nearly every world-class founder, politician, and investor he admires shares one habit: relentless curiosity. He reveals how he learned to assess people within minutes, what he looks for on a LinkedIn profile before an interview, why preparation matters far more than talent, and the invisible work that most people mistake for luck. They also dive into his longevity protocol: why creatine became a non-negotiable after reading the cognitive research, how he approaches blood work differently from traditional medicine, why he uses red light therapy and cryotherapy, the supplements he actually believes are worth taking, and why he refuses to use anything that could unnecessarily affect his brain. He explains why he would invest in brain-computer interfaces but never electively implant one himself, and why protecting the unique quirks of your brain may be more valuable than enhancing them. Finally, they unpack one of his most controversial beliefs: stress isn't something to eliminate, it's something to embrace. Drawing on the research behind *The Upside of Stress*, Keith explains why people who reframe stress consistently outperform those who fear it, why challenge drives growth from the cellular level to leadership, and how high-performing teams balance obsession, accountability, and psychological safety.

There's an instinct every marketing leader is trained to have: fight for credit on pipeline. The best CMOs have realized it's exactly what's holding them back.In this episode, Carolyn breaks down the behavioral traits that separate the best CMOs from everyone else — the patterns she sees every day working with marketing leaders across B2B SaaS. Rather than another set of tactics or a borrowed playbook, she unpacks why the highest-performing CMOs let go of credit, obsess over data integrity, stop waiting on RevOps, and build a culture of making decisions from evidence instead of assumptions.In this episode:(01:45) Why the best CMOs let go of marketing credit and what they focus on instead(07:33) Why a relentless commitment to data integrity is the foundation every good decision rests on(09:55) How elite CMOs stop waiting on RevOps to hand them the numbers that matter(14:45) Why the strongest leaders play offense and defense with their board at the same time(19:55) How ruthless experimentation drives real breakout results(27:12) Why nobody understands your buyer better than your own team(28:56) What it actually takes to survive the mental grind of modern marketing leadershipIf you're trying to prove marketing's impact, make sharper decisions with your data, or build the resilience to lead through constant change, this episode will challenge how you think about what it takes to be a great CMO today.-----------------------------------------------------

Ask most people what a brain chip does and they will tell you it reads your mind. Dr. Michael Lawton implants these devices, and he says that is not what comes off them. He is President and CEO of Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, the hospital where Neuralink's first human implant was performed, and he has completed more than 10,000 brain operations and clipped around 5,500 aneurysms. Louisa sat down with him inside Barrow to find out what the electrodes actually pick up, how far the technology has come, and where it stops. He walks through the surgery itself. The device goes into the hand knob, one small lobule of the motor cortex, where 64 electrodes have already become 108. The threads carrying them are about a tenth the thickness of a hair, so a robot inserts them while avoiding every arteriole on the surface. You'll hear what Nolan Arbaugh, Neuralink's first patient, can now do with a cursor at world record speed, and why Lawton can't keep up with him in a head to head. Then the correction. The data coming off these electrodes is a train of spikes, the same electrical language every neuron in your head is already using, and decoding it tells you whether a person meant to move a cursor left or right. Reading an emotion, or what someone thinks of you, is nowhere close. The second half turns to the brain Lawton has spent 29 years operating inside. He describes cooling a patient to 15 degrees Celsius and stopping their circulation completely, which shrivels a giant aneurysm like a raisin and opens a short window to repair it. He explains why the hardest cases will still need a pair of human hands, and what he tells trainees who think their craft is disappearing. On brain aging he is direct about what works. He predicts alcohol will be viewed in 20 years the way cigarettes were viewed in the 60s, he takes zero supplements and no peptides, and he says exactly what he can and cannot see when he looks at a living brain on the table. You'll also hear about Barrow's Mindgenuity Labs and its six mysteries of the mind, why he ranks movement as the first one to fall and consciousness as the one that may never be solved, what he believes consciousness physically is inside 86 billion neurons, and the ground underneath all of it. His sister died of a brain tumor. Louisa's father had a stroke in 2019. Both of them have watched this from the other side of the table. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+:* https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. _____ *TOPICS DISCUSSED* 00:00 Intro: The Brain Surgeon at Neuralink's First Hospital 00:39 The Guy Who Does the Cases Nobody Else Wants 02:17 A Day in the Life: 5:30am Starts and Three Surgeries 03:20 "Game Tape": Reviewing Every Operation Like an Athlete 04:24 The Surgeon Athlete and Why Surgery Is a Physical Skill 05:32 Fifty Years From Now: What Happens to Neurosurgery 06:11 The ROSA Robot and Mapping a Seizure Focus 08:16 Deep Brain Stimulation and Hitting an Exact Target 08:52 Will We All Be Operated On by Robots? 10:02 The Brain AVM: The One Case a Robot Can't Take 11:18 Why Bleeding Breaks a Robot: The Waymo Problem 13:15 What a Brain-Computer Interface Actually Does 14:49 The Hand Knob: 108 Electrodes in One Small Spot 15:50 Cursor Control at World Record Speed 16:31 Inside the Implant: Threads a Tenth the Width of a Hair 17:27 "No, the Chip Cannot Read Your Thoughts" 17:58 What the Device Really Reads: A Train of Spikes 19:18 From Movement to Sensation: What Comes Next 19:48 Why Restoring Sight Is So Much Harder 20:58 The 1943 Paper That Predicted All of This 22:37 Elon, Telepathy, and What's Actually Possible 23:00 Boosting Creativity and Intelligence in 50 Years 25:10 "When I Retire, We'll Be Treating Depression and Addiction" 26:04 Alzheimer's: Light Therapy and the Blood-Brain Barrier 27:11 Treating the Disease vs Preventing It 28:25 10,000 Operations: How He Feels About Robots Taking Over 29:54 Neuroplasticity: How Nolan's Brain Learned the Device 31:34 What Actually Changes at the Neuron Level 32:04 Patient Two and the Robotic Arm 32:42 5,500 Aneurysms: The Cases That Stay With Him 33:16 Cardiac Standstill: Cooling a Brain to 15 Degrees 35:46 What Separates a Great Surgeon From an Average One 36:17 Traits of Greatness: The Formula Nobody Has Cracked 37:21 The Phone Call in the Middle of a 16-Hour Surgery 39:35 "I Must Have Been Born for This" 41:26 Can You Tell How Old a Brain Is Just by Looking? 43:12 Why Alzheimer's Is Invisible in a Living Brain 44:14 What a Neurosurgeon Does to Protect His Own Brain 44:40 "Alcohol Will Be Viewed Like Cigarettes in the 60s" 45:13 Peptides, Injectables, and Zero Supplements 46:52 The Last Generation to Operate With Open Hands 48:10 How Louisa Found Him on Twitter in 2021 48:53 The Six Mysteries of the Mind 49:14 Which One Gets Solved First, and Which May Never 50:03 Is Consciousness in the Tissue? 51:39 Memory: The Circuitry We Still Can't Explain 53:18 Why Consciousness Is Harder Than Memory 55:12 Louisa's Father's Stroke 56:02 Advice for Anyone Watching a Parent Decline 56:21 His Sister's Brain Tumor and How He Carries It 57:38 A World Where Stroke Is an Outpatient Repair 58:40 Forty Years On, Finally at the Dawn _______ *Thank you to our sponsors* Timeline (Mitopure): https://timeline.com/neuro Mitopure now starts at $79 Ogee: https://ogee.com Use code XXXXX for a discount on the Crystal Contour Collection Kion (Kion Aminos): https://getkion.com/neuro Use code XXXXX for a discount Function Health: https://functionhealth.com/LouisaNicola Use code NEURO25 for a $25 credit _______ I'm Louisa Nicola - clinical neurophysiologist - Alzheimer's prevention specialist - founder of Neuro Athletics.

Summer can be a great time to prepare for the GMAT...but only if you have a plan! In the first installment of our summer GMAT study series, GMAC Zach is joined by Hailey Cusimano, Director of Tutoring at Menlo Coaching, to discuss how candidates can build a study timeline that is structured, realistic, and flexible. Hailey explains why GMAT preparation should generally move through two phases: first developing the necessary foundations and strategies, and then practicing under increasingly realistic test conditions. She also shares why completing more questions does not automatically lead to a higher score, how to use an error log effectively, and what candidates should look for when reviewing their performance. The conversation also covers test readiness, practice-exam timing, managing test-day stress, and why even strong test takers should leave room in their schedules for a possible retake. Whether you are beginning your GMAT journey or trying to regain momentum, this series will help you build a more thoughtful and productive approach to your preparation. About Hailey: Hailey Cusimano is a 99th-percentile performer and a self-proclaimed standardized test nerd. Drawing from her years of experience as an instructor, she knows how to assess students' main obstacles and strategize accordingly, maximizing efficiency in short study windows. Plus, her enthusiasm is infectious, and most students find studying with Hailey actually becomes—dare we say—fun.

Divide your study plan into two broad phases: foundations and strategy first, followed by timed and test-like practice. Avoid treating practice exams as the structure of your entire study plan. Focus on understanding why you struggled with a question—not simply what type of question you missed. Use an error log to identify recurring behaviors, habits, and decision-making patterns. Prioritize the quality of your review over the number of questions you complete. Look for consistency across practice exams rather than relying on one strong performance. Practice handling realistic distractions and pressure before test day. Maintain balance, flexibility, and resilience throughout the preparation process. Leave enough time in your schedule to retake the GMAT if needed.

Why are so many autistic women missed in childhood? And what happens when a parent's journey to understand their child leads to a life-changing discovery about themselves?In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, we welcome Julie M. Green, author of Motherness: A Memoir of Generational Autism, Parenthood, and Radical Acceptance. Julie shares her powerful story of parenting an autistic child, navigating a late autism diagnosis, and finally making sense of a lifetime of experiences that had never quite fit together.For many women, autism goes undiagnosed for decades. Traits are often misunderstood, hidden through masking, or mistaken for anxiety, perfectionism, sensitivity, or social difficulties. Julie's journey sheds light on the unique presentation of autism in women and girls, while offering hope for those seeking answers later in life.In this conversation, we explore:▪️ Autism in women and why so many girls are missed▪️ Late autism diagnosis and its emotional impact▪️ Parenting an autistic child▪️ Masking and autistic burnout▪️ Neurodiversity and self-acceptance▪️ Autism in families and generational autism▪️ Supporting autistic children and autistic parents▪️ Identity, belonging, and mental health▪️ What radical acceptance looks like after diagnosisWhether you're a parent of an autistic child, an educator, clinician, or someone wondering if you may be autistic yourself, this episode provides valuable insight into autism spectrum disorder, neurodivergence, parenting, and self-discovery.Julie's story is a powerful reminder that understanding ourselves can happen at any age—and that sometimes the people we love most help us find our way there.

What if the thing separating high performers from everyone else has nothing to do with skill? In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill revisits his conversation with Rich Diviney, retired Navy SEAL Commander and bestselling author of The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance. Rich reveals why the innate qualities that define how we show up under stress, challenge, and uncertainty are far more predictive of success than any resume credential or technical ability, and what that means for leaders building teams in high-stakes environments. Here's what you'll learn: Why the attributes that drive performance under uncertainty can't be taught the same way skills can, and how to develop them anyway How to identify what separates someone who thrives under pressure from someone who folds, long before the pressure arrives What the five categories of attributes (grit, drive, mental acuity, leadership, and team ability) reveal about your own performance profile and the teams you build If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to build a team that performs when things don't go as planned, this conversation is your blueprint.

When you get your first gigs for things like weddings, musical theatre, recording sessions, or even film scores and other opportunities, how do you make such a good impression that you rise to the top of the call list and stay there? As someone who has worked to be top of mind in this area for many such gigs, and as a music director who has hired more than 100 musicians, it's understood that your musical skills need to be good enough for the gig.  You don't have to play better than what's required, but you must be able to do that.  However, those are minimum requirements.  What gets you called back has nothing to do with your musical skill.  In this episode, I share my 11 observations for what puts a musician top of mind when I'm looking to hire.

What does 1 Timothy 3 have to say to everyday dads?   In this episode of the Father On Purpose Podcast, Kent and Lawson unpack Paul's qualifications for church leaders and explain why they also provide a powerful picture of biblical fatherhood.

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

In the automotive industry, we often focus on the vehicle itself, the technology within it, the smart factories, and artificial intelligence. Ford is leading the way in all these areas, even reimagining the assembly line that Henry Ford created back in 1913. However, that is not the whole story. The hardware has never been the main focus.The real story lies in the culture; it's about how more than 100,000 individuals think, act, and make decisions, and whether they can adapt faster than the legacy companies that were built to move at a different pace.In this episode of the Automotive Leaders Podcast, Jan Griffiths interviews Bryce Currie, Ford's Chief Manufacturing Officer, who oversees more than 40 plants worldwide. Both Bryce and Jan began their careers in a command-and-control environment, where plant managers were feared, meetings featured thrown books, and no one felt comfortable offering alternative ideas because they weren't being heard. However, Bryce opted for a different approach. He identifies as a servant leader and has dedicated 51 weeks of his life to traveling by bus to demonstrate his commitment.These bus tours form the core of their discussion. Over the course of a week, Bryce visits four plants with 50 employees from every level and function, working from 5:30 in the morning until 10:30 at night, all focused on learning to operate Ford's production system in a unified way. This initiative is how Bryce turns culture into a tangible experience for the team. He emphasizes aspects that many leaders overlook: he turns off his phone so his team can learn to operate independently, encourages two ideas from every operator, and uses Thomas Edison's 2,332 inventions as a benchmark for what his team can achieve in a single year.This conversation explores what it takes to accelerate a company with over a century of history. Trust and kindness are powerful business tools. He advocates for accountability without fear, highlighting that culture should not be viewed as a soft concept; rather, it is the backbone that drives results.If you're a leader in this industry, Bryce will illustrate what shifts when you stop trying to control your team and start believing in them.Themes Discussed in this EpisodeWhy culture is the real transformation story at FordBreaking command and control at the manufacturing scaleServant leadership across 40-plus Ford plantsThe bus tour is a culture change engineEmpowerment over micromanagement in a legacy organizationActivating the minds of 100,000 peopleDriving innovation through frontline operator ideasThis episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more

Before leaders can redesign their organizations with AI, they have to reconsider how they personally think, work, and make decisions.In this special episode of Unlearn, Barry O'Reilly shares the opening chapter of the audiobook edition of Artificial Organizations, narrated in his own voice. After hearing from readers who wanted another way to experience the book, Barry spent four days in the studio bringing its ideas and stories to life. The process was rewarding, demanding, and personal. As someone who is dyslexic, reading every word aloud required a different kind of focus from delivering a keynote, teaching a workshop, or hosting a podcast conversation.Barry then takes listeners into the central argument of the book: organizations often begin AI adoption with licenses, pilots, and tools while leaving leadership behavior and decision-making systems unchanged. Drawing from his own experiments, leadership research, and work with senior teams across North America, Europe, and Asia, he explains why meaningful AI transformation starts with human traits, high-value tasks, and the judgment leaders must preserve before selecting technology.Key TakeawaysAI should strengthen judgment, not simply increase output: Machines can process and synthesize information at a scale no individual can match, but leaders still have to decide what matters. The opportunity is to use AI to prepare, capture, and pressure-test thinking so human attention stays focused on consequential decisions.Start with traits, then tasks, then tools: Barry's 3T model begins with how a leader naturally thinks, creates, communicates, and decides. Only after identifying the tasks where that judgment creates the most value should leaders choose tools to support the work.Decision velocity must be paired with decision advantage: Decision velocity is how quickly a leader moves from question to insight, decision, and action. Decision advantage is the quality and depth of context behind that choice; speed without insight creates chaos, while insight without timely action becomes irrelevant.Most leadership time is allocated away from leadership value: Barry describes an 80/20 mismatch in which meetings, updates, administration, and context reconstruction consume most of a leader's time, while the greatest value comes from framing problems, evaluating tradeoffs, and making high-stakes decisions.Organizational AI adoption begins with personal behavior change: Broad mandates, task forces, and tool rollouts are often the wrong starting point. Leaders build more credible adoption when they experiment in their own workflows, share what they learn, and make new behaviors visible to their teams.Additional InsightsPresence can be more valuable than productivity: Barry's first AI experiment used a meeting assistant to capture and synthesize conversations. The practical gain was not only faster preparation and follow-up; it allowed him to stop carrying every detail in his head and remain fully present during critical discussions.Experience becomes a liability when it is not augmented: The instincts and institutional knowledge that helped leaders succeed can become limiting when they are treated as sufficient. Experience keeps compounding only when leaders combine it with broader recall, faster synthesis, and continuous testing.Senior leaders need psychological safety to learn: Barry's executive study found that leaders preferred one-on-one coaching and small peer cohorts over large workshops or self-paced courses. Being a beginner is uncomfortable at senior levels, so smaller environments make experimentation and honest questions easier.New capacity should create thinking space, not more workload: In the Progeny case study, AI reduced the effort required to capture meetings, actions, owners, and deadlines. CEO Peter Nevsky framed the resulting capacity as time for strategic thought and better decisions rather than an invitation to place people on a faster operational treadmill.The unit of change is the judgment inside a role: AI may automate parts of a project manager's, analyst's, or executive's work while increasing the importance of interpretation, challenge, and decision quality. The role may remain, but the judgment required within it changes.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode Introduction & Why I Created the AudiobookBarry introduces this special preview of the Artificial Organizations audiobook, shares why he chose to narrate it himself, and explains why leaders need a different approach to AI adoption through the 3T framework: Traits, Tasks, and Tools.04:33 – A Quick Favor Before We BeginBarry invites listeners to leave an Amazon review, recommend the audiobook to their network, and help more leaders discover its ideas.05:16 – Preface: Why the Way We Work Is BrokenBarry introduces the central challenge facing modern organizations: leaders are overwhelmed by information, while better decisions remain harder than ever.07:11 – Judgment Under PressureBarry explores why more data, more tools, and more technology haven't created better leadership, arguing that the real constraint is our ability to process information and make sound judgments.10:07 – The First AI Leadership ExperimentA simple experiment with an AI meeting assistant transformed Barry's leadership by improving clarity, presence, and decision-making, leading to a new perspective on AI's role.12:00 – AI as Judgment InfrastructureBarry reframes AI as more than a productivity tool, explaining how it strengthens judgment, improves decisions, and helps leaders focus on what matters most.16:07 – Part One: The Judgment ConstraintBarry introduces the first section of the book, explaining why AI creates little value unless it changes how leaders think, decide, and lead.18:08 – Chapter One: Your Legacy Is Now Your LiabilityBarry examines why experience alone is no longer enough and how decision velocity and continuous learning are becoming the defining advantages of modern leadership.22:20 – The AI ROI Blind SpotBarry challenges the common focus on efficiency and cost reduction, arguing that AI's greatest value lies in helping leaders make better and faster decisions.28:16 – From Linear Leadership to Exponential InnovationBarry explains why traditional leadership models struggle in the AI era and why organizations must adopt new ways of learning, experimenting, and making decisions.34:10 – What Makes an Artificial OrganizationBarry defines artificial organizations and shares how leaders can replace memory-based management with shared judgment systems that accelerate decision-making and collaboration.40:09 – The New Leadership DivideBarry explores the widening gap between leaders who actively experiment with AI and those who continue relying on legacy ways of working, and why that difference will compound over time.43:15 – Where to StartBarry explains why successful AI transformation begins with personal experimentation, encouraging leaders to model new behaviors before scaling change across their organizations.45:15 – Closing ReflectionsBarry concludes the first chapter, thanks listeners for joining this special audiobook preview, and invites them to continue the journey with Artificial Organizations.FAQsQ1. Is this Unlearn episode an audiobook preview?Yes. This special episode includes Barry O'Reilly's recorded introduction followed by the opening chapter of the audiobook edition of Artificial Organizations, narrated by Barry himself. He explains why the audio edition was created, what recording the book required, and how its ideas connect to his work with executive leaders and teams.Q2. What is an artificial organization?An artificial organization is a company that deliberately combines human and machine intelligence to redesign how context is captured, information is synthesized, and decisions are made. Instead of adding AI to the edges of existing workflows, it builds judgment infrastructure into how the organization operates.Q3. How can leaders use AI to make better decisions?Leaders can use AI to capture conversations, summarize context, test assumptions, explore scenarios, prepare for meetings, and identify unresolved actions. This reduces the information leaders must carry mentally and gives them more capacity to focus on tradeoffs, consequences, and high-value judgment.Q4. What is the difference between decision velocity and decision advantage?Decision velocity is the speed at which a leader moves from a question to insight, decision, and action. Decision advantage is the quality, accuracy, and depth of context behind that decision. Strong leadership requires both because speed without insight creates chaos, while insight without action loses relevance.Q5. Why do many enterprise AI initiatives fail to create business value?They often begin with tool purchases, pilots, and mandates without redesigning how work, context, and judgment flow through the...

We want the goodness, and with that comes suffering." "The reality is we live in a broken world. We live in a dark world, but the great news is God has given us authority, and he's given us power to bring light to this world." "We're not guaranteed tomorrow. We're guaranteed today, the present moment." "You could weep and cry about the past, or be concerned and worried about the future, or you can live today." "If you're not mentally and spiritually sound, the physical is very challenging." "Your gifts and talents are to be used in some sort of capacity. Don't get lethargic. Don't become a wanderer. Don't go drifting." "If you can't find the joy in what you're doing, you shouldn't be doing it. You should be able to find the joy in everything you're doing." "Your health is your wealth. If you have your health, you have a million wishes. If you don't have your health, you have one wish, and generally that's for your health." "If you're still here on earth, there's still a purpose in your life." "Those who grow need to be low. Stay humble. Understand that there's always room for more." "We're so connected to computers and devices and social media. That's not really social. Social is people coming together in person and creating experiences in life together, not just sharing portions of their life online."

Full Transcript Below: Clothe Yourself with Christlike TraitsBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” - Colossians 3:12 One Sunday, I got dressed to go to church. I pulled out top after top, trying everything on, but nothing fit. With a pile of clothes and empty hangers on my bed, I became frustrated. Finally, I pulled out a top that was one size too large, a size I had worn when I was several pounds heavier. I put it on—it was a perfect fit! For months, I had breezed by that larger top as I shopped in my closet for the perfect outfit. I didn't want to admit that perhaps I needed a bigger size. However, once I was able to accept that maybe my body wasn't what it once was years ago, and put on the larger top, my frustration subsided. After that day, I made peace with the fact that I needed a larger size in clothes. I got rid of all my clothes that were a size smaller and purchased larger tops. Once I accepted my reality, wearing the larger top wasn't a big deal. In fact, I felt comfortable in it. With clothes, it's not always about the look that's the most important. It is most important about how I feel when I’m in those clothes. While I may have needed a larger top to fit my slightly heavier frame, I became so comfortable wearing a larger top that it wasn't even a problem after a few weeks. The above verse tells us that we are to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. These are all the attributes of Christ and a manifestation of the Spirit in our lives. Just like regular clothes that we put on each day, it's not always about how they look, but rather how I feel when I'm in them. Even in situations where it’s difficult to demonstrate compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, or patience, the more that I choose to exude those things in my life, the more comfortable I'll become with them. The more I act in accordance with those virtues, the more they will become like a part of me. Soon, I won't have to force myself to act within these virtues; it will become a natural part of me. Jesus didn't have to force himself to act out these virtues. It was an embodiment of who he truly was. His character exuded traits of humility, compassion, and kindness, among other things. Jesus desires for us to exude the same virtues in our lives as he did with his. But this takes intention and action. I must act with intention when it comes to putting on these virtues. If I want to clothe myself with these things, I must make them feel as if they are a natural part of me. I must exude them and allow them to become part of my nature. When I'm able to do this, they will become such a part of me that I won't even think twice about using these character traits in my life. Out of the virtues listed above, which one do you find most difficult to demonstrate? If the most difficult virtue for us is humility, find ways in which to humble ourselves. It may be as simple as allowing someone else to go ahead of us, even when they have many more items to check out at the supermarket. It may mean controlling ourselves when someone cuts us off in traffic. It may mean being kind to someone who doesn't deserve our kindness. Whatever action it may be, ask the Holy Spirit to show us what action and to whom we must demonstrate it. The more we act out of our comfort zones, the more these virtues will become a natural part of our lives. Soon, they will become such a part of us that we won't think twice about exuding these character traits in life. Not only is this the true demonstration of Christ's likeness in our lives, but it may also draw others to Christ because of our actions and attitudes. Father, let us clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, patience, and gentleness. Allow them to become a natural part of our daily lives. Let our first instinct to be one of these traits, rather than our own selfish desires. Amen. Intersecting Faith & Life: Which of the above virtues do you have the most difficulty demonstrating in your life? Pray and ask God to show you someone whom you can demonstrate that difficult trait to today.

E-commerce order volumes are climbing, but bottom-line profits aren't keeping pace.  In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Tevon Taylor are joined by Lori Boyer, Head of Content Marketing at EasyPost and host of Unboxing Logistics. They explore how to protect margins by moving away from broad averages and toward customer precision and AI-driven routing strategies.   Lori explains how unmanaged growth creates a hidden operational tax for businesses. She makes the case for focusing on order quality over pure volume, calculating the true contribution margin per order, and using technology to treat delivery as a customer retention tool rather than a standard cost center. She also shares a case study where an operator leveraged practical AI tools to save $2 million annually and drastically cut late deliveries without changing carriers or contracts.   Tevon and Lori discuss core operating principles for winning organizations; breaking free from baseline defaults, segmenting customers by economic value, and building multi-carrier optionality to safeguard against rate spikes. They highlight how moving past standard averages helps operators stop losing money and ensure top customers receive the elite experience they deserve.
