Podcasts about what it means

This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with Molly Neuman, President of CD Baby, one of the largest independent music distributors in the world. Molly has spent decades advocating for independent artists and labels, helping shape the modern music industry through leadership roles at CD Baby, Downtown Music Holdings, and the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM). In this conversation, Ari and Molly dive into some of the most pressing issues facing musicians today, including artificial intelligence, streaming fraud, artist compensation, customer support, and the evolving role of music distribution. They discuss whether AI-generated music should exist, how streaming platforms are responding to generative AI, why artists are increasingly being affected by fraudulent streams, and what distributors like CD Baby are doing to protect independent musicians. Molly also shares her perspective on artist ownership, independence, and what success in the music business looks like in 2026.Follow Molly Neuman:https://www.instagram.com/mollydneuman/https://cdbaby.com/Check out Ari's Take:https://aristake.com03:45 – Molly Neuman's Journey to Becoming CD Baby President11:32 – Is CD Baby Still Independent?18:04 – Universal Music's Acquisition & What It Means for Artists27:41 – The State of Independent Music Distribution in 202639:18 – What Artists Get Wrong About Distribution49:07 – AI Customer Support: Does It Matter if It's Human?52:11 – Should AI-Generated Music Exist?1:03:47 – Streaming Fraud, Bot Plays & How Artists Get Penalized1:12:56 – What "Making It" Really Means in Today's Music IndustryEdited and mixed by Ruben ZarateMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

Why do dreams matter, and how can we use them to support waking life? In this episode of The Dream Journal, host Katherine Bell speaks with Canadian author and health journalist Karen Van Kampen about her book The Brain Never Sleeps: Why We Dream and What It Means for Our Health. Together they explore dream science, memory, mental health, dream sharing, nightmare rescripting, dream engineering, lucid dreaming research, and the emerging study of anesthesia dreams as potentially healing experiences. Karen shares how childhood experiences in her father's sleep lab shaped her fascination with dreaming, why dreams may act like a “highlight reel” of waking concerns, and how practices such as dream journaling, dream salons, and imagery rehearsal therapy can help us engage dreams with curiosity and care. The conversation also looks at cutting-edge research on guiding dreams, communicating with lucid dreamers, and the possibility that anesthesia dreams may help people revisit difficult memories in a calm, transformative state. Why dreams are connected to memory, mental health and waking life How dream sharing builds empathy and new perspectives Imagery rehearsal therapy and practical ways to rewrite nightmares Dream engineering, sleep onset creativity and technology-assisted dreaming Lucid dreaming research and two-way communication with dreamers Anesthesia dreams, healing dreams and post-traumatic growth How stories, memories and dreams shape identity Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to The Dream Journal 01:02 Meet Karen Van Kampen and The Brain Never Sleeps 03:36 Karen's early life with her sleep-scientist father 05:12 Dream deprivation, sleep and mental health 07:31 Memory consolidation and the “next up” model of dreaming 09:47 Dream salons, dream sharing and collective insight 15:33 How dreams reveal waking-life concerns 17:16 Thought suppression and why it can rebound in dreams 18:36 Imagery rehearsal therapy and rewriting nightmares 24:44 Dream engineering and guiding dreams with technology 28:20 Lucid dreaming and two-way communication with dreamers 31:46 Anesthesia dreams and healing dream experiences 39:43 Consciousness, memory and dreams as a 24-hour continuum 44:31 Final encouragement: becoming empowered dreamers BIO: Karen van Kampen is a Canadian author and journalist who specializes in health and science.

The Solstice changed something. You may already feel it. The old version of you doesn’t quite fit anymore—but your life hasn’t caught up yet. The June Solstice opened a powerful three-month portal between the Solstice and the September Equinox—and with it comes an invitation unlike anything we’ve experienced before.

If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, start there first.  Part 1 laid out what's happening and named some truly wild predictions. Part 2 answers the question that actually matters: given all of that, what do you do? With your money. With your career. With your mindset. And with the fear that many people feel right now. In this episode: One prominent thinker predicted we're heading toward an "emotional pandemic" driven by the pace of AI change. Not a technological failure, but an emotional one. The United States is the most pessimistic country about AI. What does that tell us, and is the fear proportionate to the actual risk? If your income is less certain and your career is harder to predict, do the fundamentals of financial planning actually change or do the old principles hold? 55% of Americans now use AI to help manage their finances, up from 10% just a year ago. How good is that advice and what are the risks most people aren't thinking about? The research on this is more surprising than you'd expect The traits that matter most in an AI-disrupted world and what it means financially to invest in yourself right now Our honest gut reactions to where all of this is heading. Not the CFP® answer or the advisor answer, the human one The one thing each of us would tell you to do differently this week because of everything we discussed across both episodes Finally, we're thrilled to announce that we are building Finerate: a financial education community for people who are ready to move from financial anxiety to financial confidence.

Weak Men: The Danger of Silent Husbands and the Deception of "Good Times"Weak men, this is your word of the day—and ladies, don't turn the channel just yet, because this is meant to help your home.In this video, Coach Shelby pulls no punches as he targets a society infiltrated by passive, spiritually neutered men who refuse to stand up and lead. To act like a man means putting the Word of God above every single circumstance and relationship in your life. Our culture is desperate for real men of God, and when men leave a spiritual vacuum, darkness is quick to fill the void.Taking us deep into Jeremiah 44, Coach exposes a forgotten piece of biblical history that mirrors our modern world. After the fall of Jerusalem, a remnant of Judah fled to the comforts of Egypt against God's explicit warnings. When the prophet Jeremiah confronted them for burning incense to the "queen of heaven," the people gave a chilling response. The men openly admitted they were going to keep sinning just like their fathers did because back then, they had "plenty of food" and saw no trouble. Coach issues a blistering warning: just because things are going well for you materially right now does not mean you have God's blessing. The women even chimed in, proving that their idolatry happened with their husbands' full permission. Through neglect and by default, a man's refusal to be the spiritual authority causes his entire household to fall into bondage. It's time to stop making excuses, stop living in the family hog slop, and start doing your job.Classroom Highlights:The Neutered Culture: Why modern society is suffering from a lack of true, Word-centered masculinity.The Side-by-Side Standard: Why Eve was taken from Adam's side—not to walk behind him, and not to be abandoned to lead the home alone.The Illusion of Prosperity: Why having plenty of food and money while living in rebellion is a dangerous sign that you are running out of God's grace.Breaking the Generational Hog Slop: Coach shares a personal example from his own family history to prove that excuses mean nothing on Judgment Day.Jezebel and the Comment Section: Why Coach expects the spirit of rebellion to pipe up, and why he stands firm on the Word regardless.Scriptures Studied:Jeremiah 44:17 – But we will certainly do whatever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven...Jeremiah 44:19 – And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven... did we make her cakes to worship her... without our husbands?Matthew 7:20 – Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.#WordTime #CoachShelby #WeakMen #Jeremiah44 #SpiritualLeadership #ActLikeMen #GenerationalSin #BiblicalTruth #Repentance #FamilyOrderChapters0:00 - Intro: A Direct Word for Weak Men0:11 - The Toxic Reality: Societies Suffering from Passive Men0:33 - What It Means to Act Like a Man: Word Over Circumstance0:56 - Inside Jeremiah 44: The Remnant That Fled to Egypt1:26 - The Multitude Rejects the Prophet: "We Will Not Listen"1:56 - The Adam Excuse: Blaming the Wife for the Man's Lack of Leadership2:17 - Walking Beside the Man: The Proper Place of a Wife2:38 - Living in the Family Hog Slop: The Trap of Generational Sin3:00 - Excuses vs. The Blood: Coach's Personal Family Testimony3:42 - The Deception of Success: When Idolatry Looks Like Prosperity4:09 - A Warning to Sir and Ma'am: God's Mercy Has an End Date4:28 - Blaming God for the Famine: The Twisted Logic of the Rebels4:53 - With Our Husbands' Permission: The Evidence of Male Neglect5:09 - Grab Your Wife's Hand: Stepping Into Your Spiritual Authority5:37 - Shut Up: Addressing the Ugly Comments and the Jezebel Spirit5:57 - Outro: A Blessing for the Men Who Stand Up and Lead

Israel is in a strategically weakened position – and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will take a hard political hit if reports on the details of U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding are accurate, Haaretz columnist Joshua Leifer said on the Haaretz Podcast. Netanyahu had been “riding high,” planning to face Israel’s upcoming elections in the fall having compensated for his failures that led to October 7 by boldly “reconfiguring the map of the Middle East, and disassembling Iran's proxy network of Hezbollah and Hamas, and taking on the Iranian regime itself,” Leifer said. The Israeli leader thought “his legacy [would] be rehabilitated by those wars. Fast forward to where we are now, and that's not the case, and he’s having to confront that,” Leifer added. “Strategically, Israel's in a terrible place, where the Iranian regime is stronger than it was, and it is now able to enforce a new kind of equation where Israeli freedom of movement is limited by the potential threat of ballistic missiles from Iran – which wasn't the case prior to October 7.” Netanyahu, Leifer said, has been “backed into a corner” on all of Israel’s fronts – Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and now Iran. He must follow Trump’s dictates and has turned Israel into “a total vassal state of the U.S.” and “Trump’s lapdog.” If he were to defy Trump, he runs the risk of losing American support, which could endanger the country even more.

Send us Fan MailAaron, Trent, and Peaches are back in the team room, and this one starts with Tasty Gains, UFC at the White House, soccer, Nitro Circus, sketchy bungee jumping, and somehow ends exactly where it needed to: Air Force Special Warfare pipeline standards.The crew gets into a reported Zulu course ruck event involving a 12-mile ruck at a 15-minute pace with a ruck weighing well over the standard 45 pounds. That turns into a bigger conversation about assessment and selection, training standards, instructional drift, normalized deviance, and why “war is hard” is not a good enough reason to create dumb training events.They also talk about the difference between expectations and standards, why evaluated events need to have a real purpose, why students should not be crushed just because previous generations got crushed, and how pipeline events can drift away from their original intent over time.Also covered: UFC 250, America's 250th, US soccer, Travis Pastrana, Dwayne Hackney's Air Force Cross story, Weapon School patch night, fighter pilot culture, and why Peaches probably does not need to do a 117-pound ruck to prove anything.If you are training for Air Force Special Warfare, waiting to ship, currently in development, or just interested in how military training standards should actually work, this episode matters.Check out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comTrain with Modern Athlete Strength Systems:OnesReady.comOperator Training Summit:OperatorTrainingSummit.comJoin the Ones Ready membership for early access, members-only episodes, and exclusive merch.Chapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:05 - Tasty Gains Nootropics and Creatine Gummies02:42 - Modern Athlete Strength Systems and AFSOC Prep04:03 - Ones Ready Membership and MBRS-Only Episodes05:21 - Welcome Back With Aaron, Trent, and Peaches05:30 - UFC 250, the White House, and Fat People07:28 - US Soccer, Paraguay, and World Cup Energy10:58 - Nitro Circus at the White House11:11 - UFC Weather Rumors and Fight Delays12:25 - Drunk UFC Weigh-Ins and Bit or Real?14:24 - Getting Fooled by Satire Online15:34 - Trent Threatens Aaron's Tattoos16:02 - Bungee Jumping Disaster and Vacation Risk18:21 - Show and Tell Goes Off the Rails20:00 - Faces of Death, LiveLeak, and Old Internet Trauma22:19 - Air Force A&S and Zulu Course Updates22:50 - The Reported 117-Pound Zulu Ruck24:20 - Why Exceeding the Standard Is Not the Standard26:39 - Weapon School Patch Night and Fighter Pilot Culture28:24 - What It Means to Be a Weapons Patch30:20 - American Pie and Fighter Pilot Roll Call Chaos33:10 - Institutional Drift in the Pipeline34:48 - Dry Weight, Helmets, and Student Gear35:10 - Zulu Is Training, Not Selection36:17 - Why 100-Pound Rucks Are Not Smart Training37:53 - When Heavy Rucks Might Make Sense39:11 - This Is Not a Normal Pipeline Standard41:19 - What Should Candidates Train For?42:27 - AFSPECWAR Wait Times and IFT Scores43:14 - Travis Pastrana and Red Bull Madness44:33 - What If You Jump Without a Parachute?46:39 - Dwayne Hackney's Air Force Cross Story48:24 - Vietnam-Era Pararescue Stories49:31 - Weapon School Graduation and Space Force PSD51:19 - Evaluated Events Need a Real Purpose52:07 - Buddy Breathing and Operational Relevance52:30 - OFT Ruck Standard vs. Zulu Course Ruck54:25 - Normalized Deviance and the Monkey Story57:29 - Training Wing, Please Fix This58:31 - Final Thoughts and Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

A former venture capitalist and CNBC host, Ron shares his perspective on how AI will transform routine work while making trust, relationships, and collaboration more valuable than ever.Tune in to hear his insights on collective intelligence, the importance of meaningful networks, and why the biggest opportunities of the future may come from connecting people—not just advancing technology. Connect with Ron at Bizly, Perch, on LinkedIn, or through his Substack newsletter, Rising Sun.Show Notes[00:26] Introducing Ron ShahRon Shah is the founder and CEO of Bisly, a platform designed to facilitate in-person connections through events, and Perch, a professional networking platform focused on building deeper relationships. A former venture capitalist and CNBC host, he now focuses on creating technology that strengthens human connection in an AI-driven world.[01:33] AI Will Replace Tasks, Not Human ChallengesHe predicts that AI agents will eventually handle most routine tasks, from administrative work to everyday chores. By 2042, however, the greater challenges facing society will extend beyond automation to issues such as climate change, social upheaval, and evolving government systems.[02:44] The Missing Human Layer in AIDiscussing the current limitations of AI, he argues that most systems operate in isolation from the human networks that drive opportunity and collaboration. While AI can generate ideas and automate workflows, it lacks awareness of the relationships, connections, and communities that help people achieve their goals.[05:44] Unlocking Human Collective IntelligenceRon introduces the concept of collective intelligence, describing it as one of the greatest untapped opportunities of the coming decades. Rather than focusing solely on advancing machine intelligence, he believes society must find better ways to combine human knowledge, perspectives, and expertise to solve complex challenges.[07:57] Expanding Human Potential Through ConnectionReflecting on the future of work, he emphasizes that humans possess far more capacity than they currently utilize. Meaningful collaboration, diverse perspectives, and shared experiences will play a critical role in unlocking greater creativity, insight, and innovation.[08:46] Creating the Conditions for Better ThinkingHe explores how environments, experiences, and relationships influence human performance. Whether through meaningful conversations, unique settings, or exposure to different perspectives, these human elements can help uncover insights that technology alone cannot provide.[10:17] What It Means to Be Future-ReadyAcknowledging the likelihood of job displacement as AI advances, he encourages individuals to identify and clearly communicate their unique expertise. Making skills, knowledge, and accomplishments visible will become increasingly important in an AI-enabled economy.[11:11] Trust as the Currency of the FutureRon predicts that trust will become one of the most valuable assets in a world filled with synthetic content and AI-generated information. As confidence in online information declines, people will increasingly rely on trusted personal and professional relationships.[11:52] Building Deeper Networks in an AI EraHe argues that success will depend less on broad networks and more on meaningful connections. Re-engaging with people we already know and trust may become one of the most effective ways to find opportunities, collaborate, and navigate uncertainty.[12:49] Where to Connect with Ron ShahListeners can learn more through Bizly⁠, ⁠Perch, LinkedIn⁠, and his Substack newsletter, Rising Sun.

What does it mean to stay fully human in the age of AI?   Host Curtis Chang sits down with Pulitzer Prize finalist and acclaimed technology critic Nicholas Carr to explore how AI, social media, and digital life are reshaping human attention, identity, education, and spiritual formation. Carr warns that technologies promising efficiency often erode the embodied presence, deep thinking, struggle, and meaningful friction that make us fully human.

Fred Laluyaux has spent 25 years on the same problem: enterprises are drowning in decisions no human should be making. With 50 million digitized decisions across companies like Unilever, Exxon, and Hershey, he now has the data to prove it. When operators override the machine, performance goes down. Not sometimes — in aggregate, every time. In this episode, Fred breaks down the agentic vs. deterministic tradeoff most CIOs are getting wrong, why the software stack most companies rely on today is heading for collapse, and what a company whose entire stack is just SAP and Aera tells you about where enterprise software is going. Hit play. 3 Takeaways: After 50 million digitized decisions, the data is clear: when operators override the machine, performance drops. One Aera customer runs their entire operation on SAP and Aera. Nothing in between. That's where the stack is going. Fred calls them "born in digital" decisions — they can't be made by humans because the value is gone before the meeting starts.

An entrepreneur and Silicon Valley veteran, Fred brings an impressive track record building successful startups and driving technology innovation. Prior to launching Aera, Fred was the CEO of Anaplan, which he grew to a $1 billion valuation. He has held several executive positions at SAP, Business Objects, and ALG Software. As a thought leader on the future of work and host of the Decision Intelligence podcast, Fred frequently shares his vision with influencers through media interviews and speaking engagements at industry conferences. His views have been published in business and trade publications. A technology and startup advisor, Fred is an investor and active board member of several startups in the U.S. and Europe. Guest Highlights: "We're in 2026, and the reality is that our models have not changed for 100 years. We're still relying on people to decide how to forecast, how to allocate inventory, how to change a plan." "We've got enough data, I mentioned the 50 million decisions, to demonstrate that whenever the humans are touching the system and are messing with the recommendation, they actually degrade the performance." "The autonomy is not another version or better version of my planning tool or my replenishment tool. It replaces the need to have a human touch with that software, and therefore I don't need that software anymore."

Four days. Twenty-four firms. $4.5 trillion in controlled assets. Here is what Frank and Stacey took away from Elite Ignite 2026. Frank LaRosa and Stacey Frank are back in the studio for the first time in about six weeks and they are using this episode to do something they have never done quite like this before: open up the room. Elite Ignite started five years ago as an internal team meeting. It grew into a broker dealer and RIA conference unlike anything else in the industry. No deals discussed. No transition packages on the table. Just firms coming in, laying their swords down and getting to work. Frank and Stacey walk through the standout sessions and conversations from the 2026 conference held in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. They explain why working with 65 to 80 firms is not a liability but a strategic necessity, why 85% of what firms offer is essentially the same and why the remaining 15% is what Elite is built around understanding and how the conference is designed to make every advisor placement a deliberate decision rather than a convenient one. They get candid about the Good Firm Bad Firm Recruiter panel, where firm recruiters heard directly from Frank about what professional courtesy looks like when an advisor takes time away from their family to explore a transition. They also talk through the growing AI conversation among financial services firms, why the pro forma model Frank has been building for 15 years stopped every firm in the room and what it means that some firms walked out of the conference and immediately started rewriting their 2026 growth strategy. The full Elite Ignite 2026 Insight Report is available at eliteconsultingpartners.com/2026-ignite-recap   Questions answered in this episode include: What was Elite Ignite 2026 and who attended? How does Elite Consulting Partners decide which firms to work with and recommend to advisors? Why do advisors get confused when comparing offers from multiple firms, and how does Elite solve that? What did the Good Firm Bad Firm Recruiter panel reveal about how firm recruiters approach advisors? How are broker dealers and RIAs using AI to support financial advisor growth right now? Why doesn't Elite invite financial advisors to the conference, and will that change? What does it mean to make the right move instead of just the next move?   Chapters: 0:00 — What It Means to Make the Right Move, Not the Next Move 0:54 — Welcome Back: Stacey Rejoins and Elite Ignite Recap Begins 3:12 — The $4.5 Trillion Room: Firms, Collaboration, and the Iron Sharpens Iron Moment 7:15 — Why 85% Is the Same and the 15% Is Everything 10:06 — Inside the Conference: RIA Panels, M&A, and the AI Conversation 13:38 — Good Firm Bad Firm Recruiter: What Firms Need to Hear 18:11 — The Pro Forma Reveal and What the Industry Can Learn From It   Learn more about Elite and our resources: Elite Consulting Partners | Financial Advisor Transitions https://eliteconsultingpartners.com Elite Marketing Concepts | Marketing Services for Financial Advisors https://elitemarketingconcepts.com Elite Advisor Successions | Advisor Mergers and Acquisitions https://eliteadvisorsuccessions.com JEDI Database Solutions | Technology Solutions for Advisors https://jedidatabasesolutions.com Elite Wealth Management Insights Report https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/insight-report Listen to more Advisor Talk episodes https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/podcasts/

Morningstar stamps what it thinks about a fund's future with this Medalist Rating. You've probably seen a star with the word Gold, Silver, or Bronze next to a fund you were researching on Morningstar.com. This represents the fund's Morningstar Medalist Rating. The manager research team recently reworked and simplified how they judge funds to create a simpler process for investors to understand. The new methodology also brings more transparency and stability. Some funds' ratings rose, while others fell or held steady. What were the key factors that led to the upgrades and downgrades, and which funds gained or lost status? Morningstar Senior Principal of Ratings Russ Kinnel was in a room where it happened. Russ, who is also the editor of Morningstar FundInvestor, is here to talk about it.

Texas Softball star Reese Atwood joins us at the Nike Blue Ribbon Elite Athlete Launch Event at SXSW fresh off hitting a home run just three hours earlier and arriving in a burnt orange Lamborghini. Reese talks about what it means to rep Nike, what drives her to be great (spoiler: it's family), and what makes the University of Texas unlike anywhere else. She also lets slip something about Coach Mike White's past as a men's fastpitch pitcher from New Zealand…and hopes he wasn't listening. 0:00 Intro — Reese Atwood at the Nike Blue Ribbon Elite Event0:27 What It Means to Be a Nike Blue Ribbon Elite Athlete0:43 Arriving in a Burnt Orange Lamborghini

Macroeconomic conditions are squeezing US airlines and travelers just in time for the summer travel season.  Higher fuel costs due to the conflict in the Middle East are pushing up ticket prices. The latest Consumer Price Index report showed fares rose by about 3% in April. Meanwhile, choices for cheap seats decreased when Spirit Airlines went out of business in May. The ultra low-cost carrier blamed soaring energy prices. What does this uptick in energy inflation mean for airlines' profits and travelers' wallets?   Nic Owens is an equity analyst for Morningstar and covers the North American airlines.

“Ghost hunting is fun – until the ghosts show up.”  -- Dan Zetterstrom, podcast host, What It Means To Be HumanA lot of strange things happen to Dan Zetterstrom.  And lucky for us, they almost always have something to do with a book featured on our show!  First, he underwent spiritual healing with Michael Chapman, the son of George Chapman, who was featured in the RHPB episode Surgeon From Another World (S2, EP6).  And today he shares a weird, wonderful, creepy and heart-warming story about an after-death communication he experienced while practicing self-administered EMDR – a method that was featured on our recent episode Induced After Death Communication (S4, EP1).  Meanwhile, he and his wife Alaina are criss-crossing the country in what they call their “Mobile UFO Hunting Unit” – and Dan is producing his own podcast, What It Means To Be Human.  The guy keeps busy. In today's conversation we talk about the astounding results of his spiritual healing, his experiments with astral projection, his meditation experiences using a “Muse 2” headband to track his brainwaves – and what happens when you reach into the dark… and something licks your hand.Dan Zetterstrom is a passionate researcher of the anomalous, artist, storyteller and host of the podcast What It Means to Be Human. Known for his work as co-host and producer of That UFO Podcast, creator of the viral Tom Was Right campaign from To The Stars, and guest star on Ancient Aliens and Phenomenology, Dan brings a thoughtful and curious approach to exploring humanity, consciousness and the anomalous.  With a talent for uncovering profound insights through engaging conversations, Dan invites listeners to journey into the mysteries that connect us all.Notes & Links: Listen to Dan's podcast What It Means To Be Human here https://www.tobehumanshow.com/Discover more about the “Muse 2 Headband” here https://choosemuse.com/products/muse-2?srsltid=AfmBOopdcPbVjwWbRHlhMQH8k2oc00caozp0LNbeoIkJ9_QI4dEp20QySupport RHPB on Patreon here! https://patreon.com/RichardHatem?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkCelebrate 2026 with 26% off all RHPB merch with offer code RHPB26!

One more game. One more moment. One more trophy lift.Arsenal head into the final Premier League game of the season with the title already secured and a first league crown in twenty-two years confirmed. Before attention shifts elsewhere, this episode stays firmly in the present and looks ahead to one final league outing away at Crystal Palace — and everything that comes with trophy lift day.  The conversation opens with the season's final round of Who Am I? before moving into the wider Premier League picture and a final set of prediction calls. Liverpool's closing-day atmosphere, the noise surrounding Arne Slot, Brentford's season, and the tension surrounding Tottenham and West Ham all feature as the hosts reflect on how strange final-day football can become when scoreboards start to matter as much as the pitch.  There is also a special Six Pack celebrating six iconic Arsenal trophy lifts — from Patrick Vieira and the Invincibles to Tony Adams, Wembley memories and the anticipation of Martin Ødegaard preparing to lift the Premier League trophy. A reflection on moments that helped define eras and what this title means in the wider story of Arsenal Football Club.  Then attention turns to Selhurst Park. The hosts discuss whether Mikel Arteta should prioritise rhythm or rotation, balancing a final Premier League performance with what comes next. There is conversation around team news, the freedom that comes with pressure removed, Arsenal's defensive discipline this season, and whether lifting the title changes how this team plays.  The episode closes with reflections on players who have carried Arsenal through different eras, what this title means emotionally, and who the hosts are most looking forward to seeing lift the trophy when the moment finally arrives.  Champions of England. One final league game remains.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - Show Setup & Final Day Preview(01:56) - Who Am I?

We often hear the ideas of great thinkers, but rarely get to understand how they actually think or who they are as people.In this episode of The Courageous Leaders Podcast, I am joined by Rory Sutherland, President Emeritus of Ogilvy UK, best-selling author, and one of the most influential voices in advertising, behavioural science, and decision-making.If you've ever wondered why some ideas take off and others die fast, why the little things in business matter more than you think, or how to rethink productivity for your team, you'll find something practical and eye-opening in this conversation. We cut through business theory and get honest about human behaviour, team culture, and leadership decisions that work in the real world.You'll come away with new ways to look at decision-making, organisational performance, and what it takes to lead bravely in uncertain times, especially with the rise of AI, complexity, and shifting workplace cultures.What We Cover:00:00 Intro01:41 Dare to Be Trivial: Why Small Things Matter13:23 Leadership, Influence & The Power of Great Teachers14:50 Why Business Is Learned Through Real Experience18:03 Time, Stress & How Rory Thinks About Control24:12 Creativity, Uncertainty & Not Knowing Yet28:00 What Leaders Miss in Strategy & Collective Thinking30:17 Why Human Businesses May Win in an AI World34:51 Why Teams Fail & The Problem with Over-Measuring35:45 The Disappearance of PAs & What It Means for Leaders36:55 Redundancies & The Danger of Short-Term Thinking40:34 How Rory's Mind Works & Why He Avoids Talking About Himself49:45 The Influence of His Mum & Understanding Human Behaviour51:22 Neurodiversity Is a Feature, Not a Bug54:24 Final Reflections & Closing ThoughtsKey Leadership Insights• Why great leaders focus on influence, not control• How creativity comes from being comfortable with uncertainty• Why measuring individuals destroys team performance• The hidden cost of short-term thinking in leadership• How silos quietly break organisations from within• Why neurodiversity is a competitive advantage, not a weakness• The courage required to back ideas others doubt• Why founder-led businesses often outperform corporatesIf you want to lead better, think differently, and understand how great leaders actually operate, this episode will challenge how you see leadership.

Full Disconnection on Leave Is a Culture Signal, Not a Personal Choice Ariana's ability to fully disconnect during five months of maternity leave wasn't just personal discipline — it was enabled by a company culture that explicitly supports and expects it. Greenhouse has a caregiver community, respects the whole person, and understands that genuine recovery and presence during leave leads to a better return. Companies that say they support leave but create implicit pressure to stay connected are signaling something important about how they see their employees. 2. Institutional Knowledge Is the Best Return-to-Work Advantage What made Ariana's return from leave smooth wasn't a structured onboarding plan — it was nearly 11 years of context. She knew the Q4 rhythms, the relationships, the unwritten rules. For companies managing returning employees, this is a reminder that the investment in long tenure pays dividends at the most vulnerable moments. 3. The Candidate Experience Has to Be Half the Product Greenhouse's mission — make hiring work for everyone — isn't just a brand statement. It's a product design imperative that extends to the job seeker experience, not just the recruiter experience. In a market that is genuinely brutal for candidates right now, companies and platforms that design for both sides of the hiring equation will win trust from both. 4. Dream Job Signals Cut Through AI-Generated Noise Greenhouse's My Greenhouse platform — which lets candidates designate companies as dream job targets and signal genuine intent once a month — is a direct response to the noise problem created by AI mass-application tools. In a world where volume no longer equals signal, deliberate intent becomes the most valuable data point in the funnel. 5. The Market Is Shifting Toward Behavioral Hiring Over Background Matching Greenhouse is redesigning its own interview architecture around specific defined behaviors — 'make good decisions fast,' 'invent the future,' 'be entrepreneurial' — rather than experience checkboxes. The implication for candidates: the ability to demonstrate how you think and decide is becoming more important than where you've worked. Portfolio career holders take note. 6. The STAR Method Is Fully Gameable — and Everyone Knows It Traditional structured behavioral interviewing was built for a world where candidates had to recall and articulate their own experiences. AI second-screen tools have made that world obsolete. Real-time answer coaching during live interviews is happening right now, at scale, and the recruiting teams that haven't redesigned their interview approach for this reality are operating on outdated assumptions. 7. AI Offense and AI Defense Is the Most Useful Interview Framework in This Series Ariana's team ran a workshop that split into two tracks: AI defense (how do we design questions that are more AI-resistant and require genuine human judgment to answer?) and AI offense (how do we explicitly screen for AI mindset, curiosity, and capability as a positive qualification?). Both are necessary. Neither alone is sufficient. This framework is immediately replicable. 8. 'How Do You Use AI Personally?' Is One of the Most Revealing Interview Questions Right Now Asking candidates how they use AI in their personal or professional lives — not to catch them using it wrong, but to surface genuine curiosity and self-direction — is becoming one of the sharpest signals available in an interview. The candidates who have been experimenting, iterating, and developing their own AI workflows are showing you something important about how they'll operate in roles that don't yet have defined playbooks. 9. Portfolio Careers Need Behavioral Framing to Land Adam's candid share about feeling 'unhirable' after 10 years running his own business is a common experience for independent professionals re-entering corporate environments. Ariana's coaching: the shift toward behavioral hiring is actually an advantage for portfolio career holders — because the behaviors that make someone successful in an entrepreneurial context (making decisions fast, inventing solutions, operating without consensus) are exactly the behaviors companies are now explicitly hiring for. 10. The Best Conference Value Is the Hallway Conversation, Not the Session Ariana didn't attend a single formal session at Transform and still left with more actionable intelligence than most attendees. The real value — for her and for the industry — is in the one- to-one conversations between practitioners comparing notes on what they're actually building and experimenting with. Conference organizers should design more space for that. Attendees should prioritize it.   CHAPTERS:  00:00 – Welcome Back: Motherhood & the Return Adam reunites with Ariana Moon — last seen 8 months pregnant — and gets the update on baby Leo, sleep training, and how a strong support village made the first year survivable. 02:30 – Taking 5 Months of Leave — Fully Disconnected What it looks like to actually step away: Greenhouse's culture of respecting leave, why full disconnection is both supported and expected, and why Ariana has zero guilt about it. 05:30 – The Timing Was Right: Checking Out During the AI Gold Rush Her leave coincided with peak AI hype saturation. Stepping away while the market worked itself out turned out to be exactly the right call. 07:30 – Coming Back After Leave: The Real Reimmersion Story How 11 years of institutional knowledge, strong internal relationships, and knowing exactly what Q4 looks like made the return smoother than it would have been for anyone else. 10:00 – What It Means to Recruit at a Recruiting Platform The unusual dual role: running a great recruiting team while also serving as a live feedback loop for the product and staying connected to how the market is evolving. 13:00 – The Candidate Experience Nobody Talks About Enough Greenhouse's mission — make hiring work for everyone — and why it has to extend beyond the recruiter to the candidate side. The market is brutal for job seekers right now. 15:30 – My Greenhouse: The Dream Job Feature How Greenhouse's B2C platform lets candidates designate dream job companies, signal genuine intent once a month, and give recruiters a quality signal in a market flooded with AI-generated noise. 18:30 – Portfolio Careers & How to Position Them Adam gets personal about feeling 'unhirable' after 10 years of entrepreneurship — and Ariana's coaching on positioning portfolio skills in a behavioral hiring market. 21:30 – Behavioral Hiring: The Shift Toward Interpersonal Skills How Greenhouse designs interviews around defined behaviors — 'make good decisions fast,' 'invent the future' — and why the shift toward behaviors over background may be the biggest structural change in recruiting right now. 24:30 – AI Killed the STAR Method. Now What? Traditional structured interviewing is fully gameable by AI second-screen tools. Ariana's team ran a workshop to directly confront this — and built something new. 27:00 – AI Offense and AI Defense: The Framework The two-part workshop: AI defense (questions that require genuine human judgment) and AI offense (explicitly testing for AI mindset and capability as a positive qualification). 30:00 – Testing for Curiosity as a Hiring Signal Why "how do you use AI personally?" is becoming one of the most revealing interview questions — surfacing genuine curiosity and self-direction rather than catching people out. 32:30 – What's Lighting Ariana Up at Transform 2026 Ariana didn't attend a single session — and that's the point. The value of Transform is the one-to-one conversations about what people are actually doing, building, and experimenting with right now. 35:00 – Connect With Ariana & the Vegas Advocate Where to find Ariana on LinkedIn — and her unexpectedly enthusiastic case for why Las Vegas is actually a great place to live.  

What does healing from people-pleasing look like in real life, not just at the beginning, but years later? In this episode, I share my personal story of people-pleasing, where these patterns began for me, how God brought healing, and what it looks like now to live on the “maintenance side” of emotional healing. We talk about fear of abandonment, over-functioning in relationships, parenting adult children, nervous system vigilance, and the ongoing process of learning how to stay grounded in safety and trust instead of falling back into old survival patterns. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] What Healing from People-Pleasing Actually Looks Like Over Time [03:00] The Fear Underneath My People-Pleasing Patterns [05:00] How Parenting Adult Children Triggered Old Patterns Again [07:00] Why People-Pleasing Is Really About Safety + Emotional Survival [10:00] The Family Roles That Quietly Shape Identity [13:00] How Childhood Survival Patterns Affect the Nervous System [16:00] The Medical Crisis That Forced Me to Look at These Patterns [19:00] Why Over-Functioning Can Feel Like Love [22:00] The Anchor Analogy God Keeps Bringing Me Back To [25:00] What It Means to Live on the “Maintenance Side” of Healing  RESOURCES: The People Pleasing Mindset Makeover is an 8-session one-on-one coaching process designed to help women understand the deeper roots of people-pleasing, rewire unhealthy patterns, and build healthier emotional responses through brain science, biblical truth, and practical tools. Learn more or apply here:

In this message from Matthew 5, Pastor Caleb teaches through the first two Beatitudes: “Blessed are the poor in spirit” and “Blessed are those who mourn.” This sermon explores humility, dependence on God, surrender to Jesus, grief, repentance, and the comfort God brings through His presence, forgiveness, and restoration.Click here to view the episode transcript.

Ever wonder if you could really move forward after disappointment or failure?Pastor Barbie invites you into the heart of what it means to respond to God's invitation to arise, even when self-doubt or the past holds you down. She shares her experiences with seasons of both deep difficulty and surprising joy, reminding us that the journey with God is marked by real questions, lingering shame, and repeated starts.She explores the tension between the accusing voice that says you'll never measure up and the hopeful voice of God that calls you to get up, not just once, but as many times as it takes. Through vivid retellings of Scripture and her own walk with God, she unpacks what happens when you step away from your comfort zone, face your wounds, and say yes to the next step.If you're feeling sidelined or wrestling with whether you're disqualified, this episode will show that we all sometimes need more than one touch from God. The call to arise isn't about performance; it's about responding to God's persistent offer of healing and purpose. The story isn't over—the moment you get up, something new begins.Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 13:17; Joshua 1:2, 3:5; 1 Kings 19:5-7; Psalm 84:6; Matthew 9:6, 14:28; Mark 5:41, 8:22-26; Philippians 1:6Key InsightsGod's call to arise is an invitation, not shame.Stepping up often precedes clear purpose and open doors.Rest and a second touch from God are holy and precious, not signs of failure.Sight alone isn't enough. We need to have our vision restored to see the way God sees.Key Sections00:00:00 - Wrestling with Shame and CallingWhen calling weighs heavy and setbacks pile on, self-doubt and spiritual nausea set in. Real obedience asks for both accountability and grit.00:03:46 - The Two Voices After a FallEver been immobilized by accusation, feeling both exposed and hopeless? The enemy accuses, but God's call comes saturated with hope, inviting risky obedience.00:07:46 - What It Means to AriseHours lost to regret and apathy sap our energy. The Hebrew call is not casual—arise punches through inertia, calls you to stand up in defeat, and step toward meaning—again.00:10:22 - Standing Up Before the StepBefore any miracle, before any purpose is revealed, the decision to stand and move is forged in tension and unknowns. Obedience leads, not certainty.https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/arise-the-faith-of-taking-the-first-step-Subscribe & Follow the PodcastDownload our appOur WebsiteOnline Tithes & OfferingsJoin our LivestreamGathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PMContact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167615-459-3421CCLI License 2070006

What's the one thing that would make today a good day?Psalm 16 says it's simpler—and deeper—than you think.In this teaching, John Ortberg walks through Psalm 16 and introduces a powerful idea: your life-scape—the inner world where your thoughts, desires, and attention live.Most of us drift through our days reacting to whatever comes. But Psalm 16 invites us to something different: “I have set the Lord always before me.”In this episode, you'll learn:- What shapes your inner life (your “life-scape”)- Why chasing “other gods” leads to restlessness- How to center your day around one transforming focus- What it means to live with a steady, unshaken heartThis is a practical invitation to live today with clarity, presence, and purpose.

In Week 4 of our Church Unbranded series, Lead Pastor Jason Britt delivers a special Mother's Day message focusing on one of the most powerful identities we possess: being part of the Family of God. While "family" can be a complicated word for many, the gospel offers a new lineage that isn't based on genetics or willpower, but on the grace of Jesus Christ. To follow Christ is to move from being a stranger to being a child with full legal standing, an inheritance, and a massive group of brothers and sisters.  

Cara Brennan Allamano (Founder of PeopleTech Partners and former Chief People Officer at Lattice) and Jevan Lenox (Chief People Officer at Writer) joined Stephen at Fix Healthcare Live. They talked about the growing pressure on HR leaders and why modern people leaders need to rethink how they operate in a rapidly changing world.----  Sponsor Links:

Elena Cardone grew up believing that wealth and entrepreneurship were only for the privileged. Her fierce independence made her resistant to building with anyone. But when the 2008 recession threatened their finances while she was pregnant, she abandoned her lone-wolf mentality, stepped back from acting, and bet everything on a shared vision with her husband, Grant Cardone.

EP 681: Connor Koch Some episodes just take a minute to get right. We lost the first version of this one — somewhere out there is an SD card with what I’m sure was a hell of a conversation — and you know what? Maybe that was the universe telling us to go again. Because this one hit different. Connor Koch is one of those guys who just operates on a different level. Arc’teryx ambassador for seven years, a man who’s climbed every 14er in the lower 48, skied big lines from Alaska to the High Sierra, and survived an 1,100-foot avalanche ride in ways that defy explanation. He’s the real deal. And now? He’s deep in the hunting rabbit hole, chasing elk solo through grizzly country with a bow he just learned to shoot, logging 70-plus days in the field and coming home with the kind of stories that remind you why we do all of this. We cover a lot of ground in this one. Connor grew up in a tiny San Diego-area town, never saw mountains until his Nissan’s transmission blew up somewhere near a place called Zzyzx on the way to Colorado. He pulled into Vail Pass, jumped out into the June air, and knew — at a cellular level, he says — that he’d found home. That moment launched a decade of elite mountain pursuits that would shape everything that came after. We dig into what it’s like to be a master of one discipline and a beginner in another — and how humbling it is when all your fitness and mental toughness still can’t outwit a wily bull elk. Connor talks about burning a shot opportunity 45 minutes into his first day of bow hunting, running 70+ days solo in the backcountry, getting his camp ripped apart by a known problem grizz the same night he hit a bull high, and why he doesn’t regret any of it. That’s the journey. That’s the process. But it goes way deeper than hunting. Connor opens up about the avalanche that changed him — a full slope that fractured wall to wall, a 1,100-foot washing machine ride, karate-chopping blocks of wind slab before getting obliterated, and emerging from the toe of the debris alive while his partners tunneled out around him. He talks about what that does to your relationship with risk, with the mountains, and with yourself. And then, the hardest decision of his career: turning down a prepackaged invite to ski 8,000-meter peaks in Pakistan, not because he couldn’t do it, but because he finally understood that some pages in your book are okay to leave blank. This is a conversation about reinvention, risk tolerance, the courage to step off the ship when it’s time, and what happens when a man who spent a decade trying to conquer mountains starts learning to be conquered by elk season. Oh, and also — he’s catering his entire wedding with two cow elk and some deer he harvested himself. That’s the kind of dude Connor Koch is. Pull up a chair. This one’s worth every minute.

Your Greatest Strength in One Arena Can Be Your Biggest Weakness in Another Connor came into elk hunting as an elite mountain athlete — faster, fitter, and more mentally tough than almost anyone in the field. And it nearly worked against him. He was blowing out animals by moving too fast, pushing wind when he shouldn’t have, covering miles that didn’t need covering. The hard-won lesson: hunting rewards patience and animal knowledge above all else. Fitness is a tool, not a cheat code. The most valuable thing a hunter can develop — that gut intuition built from thousands of hours of observation — can’t be outworked or outrun. Know what you bring to the table, and be honest about where the gaps are. 2. The Process Is the Point — Not Just a Cliché Connor spent 70+ days chasing elk solo and came home with hard-earned lessons he wouldn’t trade for anything. He let a five-point walk at 42 yards on day one. He lost a bull to a high hit, a rainstorm, and a problem grizzly. He laid in his shredded tent for days still searching. And he says he doesn’t regret any of it. Not because it sounds good, but because every one of those moments compounded into something real. The hunters who last — and who eventually become consistently successful — are the ones who decide early that the journey is the whole thing, not a detour on the way to the outcome. 3. Knowing When to Step Off the Ship Is Its Own Kind of Courage One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is when Connor talks about turning down an invite to ski 8,000-meter peaks in Pakistan — a trip he’d been dreaming about for years. Not because he was scared. Not because he couldn’t do it. But because he finally understood that some chapters have to close so others can open. He’d survived avalanches, close calls, and years of operating on the edge, and he arrived at a place of genuine peace with leaving certain pages in his book blank. That kind of self-awareness — knowing your season, honoring your current chapter, and resisting the pull of old identity — is rare. And it applies way beyond the mountains.

What's the difference between a website that looks great and one that actually brings in business?

What if your life is already headed in a direction… and you didn't choose it?Psalm 1 says there are only two ways to live and only one leads to flourishing.In this opening teaching of a new series on the Psalms, John Ortberg invites us into one of the most important questions we can ask: What is my way of life leading to?Psalm 1 describes a person who is “blessed”—not just happy, but deeply rooted, steady, and flourishing. And it contrasts that life with another path we can slowly drift into without even noticing. Through reflection, story, and guided prayer, this teaching helps you examine your own direction and begin to re-center your life around God.You'll also be invited to actually pray the Psalm—to let it shape your thoughts, your desires, and your daily decisions.

Hot takes are everywhere, and in a culture driven by TikTok clips and instant opinions, it's getting harder to tell the difference between confident voices and actual truth. Jase, Al, and Zach push back on the growing trend of soundbite theology, where complex biblical ideas are reduced to quick, oversimplified answers that often miss the bigger picture. Using current debates around Israel and broader theological disagreements, the guys highlight how easily people can present personal interpretations as absolute biblical truth.

Our culture's growing addiction to fear comes into focus through a surprisingly relatable moment—one that exposes how far we'll go to avoid discomfort and uncertainty. Jase, Al, and Zach connect it to a much bigger issue: the way constant headlines and global tension keep people stuck in a cycle of anxiety and overreaction. The guys push back on that instinct by revisiting what Jesus actually said about wars and unrest, highlighting a message that's often misunderstood and misapplied. They point to a deeper perspective rooted in faith, clarity, and trust in God's bigger plan. The conversation ultimately reframes how believers should respond to fear—not by numbing it or giving in to it, but by stepping out of the cycle entirely and living with confidence grounded in truth.
