Épisode 1369 : Les chiffres sont tombés, la vidéo courte est en chute libre, trop de contenu, moins d'attentionC'est le format star des réseaux sociaux.C'est celui qui génère le plus de vues.C'est aussi celui que les plateformes poussent avec le plus de force.Mais voilà : plus il y a de vidéos courtes, moins elles performent.C'est le grand paradoxe révélé par le dernier rapport de la plateforme Metricool.—Une étude de grande ampleur menée sur près de 600 000 comptes et plus de 5,6 millions de vidéos courtes.Les chiffres révèlent une réalité contre-intuitive : plus nous produisons de contenu court, moins il performe.Les vidéos courtes explosent sur toutes les plateformesLe format court devient le format dominant sur les réseaux sociaux.Le rapport observe une hausse de +71 % du volume de vidéos courtes publiées.Le nombre d'utilisateurs actifs sur ce format grimpe aussi de +51 %.TikTok domine la dynamique :+156 % de vidéos publiées.YouTube Shorts poursuit sa progression : +61 % de vidéos publiées.Facebook surprend avec une croissance forte :+72 % de vidéos publiées.Instagram, pourtant leader en volume, marque le pas :+34 % de publications.Mais les performances de vidéos courtes s'effondrentLe temps passé sur les vidéos courtes continue de croître, atteignant 6h42 par semaine, soit une augmentation de 42 minutes par rapport aux formats longs. C'est là que le paradoxe s'installe :Plus de contenu, plus de temps… mais moins de résultats.Le volume de Reels explose, mais les vues chutent de -59 %.Les interactions baissent de -21 %.Malgré +61 % de vidéos publiées, la portée chute de -31 %,Les interactions s'effondrent de -47 %.Sur TikTok, le temps moyen de visionnage baisse à 3,75 secondes (vs 4,7 en 2024).Cette érosion de l'attention traduit une forme de "fatigue cognitive" des utilisateurs, submergés par un flux ininterrompu de stimuli visuels.Le contenu court au paroxysme de la guerre d'attentionFace à cette saturation de contenus, capter l'attention devient plus difficile.Les premières secondes sont cruciales.Le storytelling se resserre. On ruse, on trouve des tricks pour essayer de retenir l'attention.Sur les plateformes perdre une seconde, c'est finalement perdre une vue.L'algorithme, arbitre impitoyable de l'attentionLes algorithmes de 2025 ont évolué vers une ultra-personnalisation qui privilégie l'authenticité sur le volume. Instagram favorise désormais le partage comme métrique principale , tandis que les interactions superficielles perdent de leur valeur. Cette évolution des algorithmes pénalise mécaniquement les stratégies basées sur la production de contenu en volume au profit de contenus plus réfléchis.. . .

Im aktuellen Willi-pedia Podcast steht ein Thema im Fokus, das moderner kaum sein könnte: Der Immobilienkauf mit Bitcoin. Klingt nach digitaler Zukunft, bringt in der Praxis aber erhebliche steuerliche Herausforderungen mit sich. Das spanische Finanzamt stuft den Erwerb mit Kryptowährungen als Tauschgeschäft ein – Käufer und Verkäufer müssen Grunderwerbsteuer zahlen, zusätzlich drohen Einkommensteuern bei Wertsteigerungen. Wer auf Mallorca mit Bitcoin investieren möchte, sollte sich deshalb unbedingt vorab beraten lassen. Neben diesem Schwerpunkt geht es um eine wegweisende Entscheidung des Bundesfinanzhofs: Bei steuerlichen Außenprüfungen müssen Unternehmen nicht mehr den gesamten E-Mail-Verkehr offenlegen, sondern nur noch steuerrelevante Kommunikation. Das stärkt Datenschutz und Unternehmensinteressen, verlangt aber nach klaren internen Prozessen und einer sicheren Archivierung. Zum Abschluss rückt ein besonderer Erfolg in den Fokus: Sabine Christiansen, Journalistin, Medienunternehmerin und Mitinitiatorin des Wirtschaftsforums NEU DENKEN, wurde in das Editorial Board von Central European Media Enterprises berufen. Eine Anerkennung ihrer journalistischen Lebensleistung – und ein starkes Signal für Qualität und Unabhängigkeit im internationalen Mediendiskurs. Die Sprecher im Podcast: Timothea Imionidou – Podcast Producerin der PlattesGroup. Sie führt durch die Episode. Claudia Schittelkopp – Pressesprecherin der PlattesGroup. Sie ordnet aktuelle Entwicklungen fachlich ein und zeigt deren Auswirkungen auf Unternehmen und Investoren.

It's not too late to reset the screen-time limits and boundaries you've set for your kids—and the reasons to take action are becoming increasingly clear.In this episode, Dr. Carrie Mackensen joins host Nicki Petrossi to unpack the science behind interactive screens and short-form media and how they impact children's brain development. Her clear, accessible approach helps parents understand what's happening neurologically and how to make informed choices.Our brains operate using two key systems: the emotional center, which rewards us with dopamine when something feels good, and the thinking brain, where we analyze, reflect, and make decisions. Activities like riding a bike or climbing a tree provide healthy dopamine boosts through effort and engagement. But scrolling social media or watching endless YouTube Shorts floods kids' brains with 100 to 200 times the dopamine—without any effort—bypassing the thinking brain entirely. Over time, this leads to an underdeveloped thinking brain and an overstimulated emotional center.The result? Kids who are increasingly anxious, withdrawn, emotionally dysregulated, and lack critical thinking skills. The good news: It's not too late to make a change. Thanks to the brain's neuroplasticity, you can help rewire these patterns and restore balance at home. Dr. Mackensen, a clinical psychologist, parent coach, and mom of two boys, shares her proven approach in conversation with Nicki from Scrolling 2 Death. Together, they offer practical tools and clear screen-time guidelines to help families create healthier digital boundaries.This is an episode every parent needs to hear.Dr. Carrie Mackensen is a clinical psychologist turned parent coach, author, and founder of Successful Parent. With a PhD in Individual, Family, and Child Psychology and experience as an attending psychologist at Cedars-Sinai and later as Clinical Director of a high-end residential addiction treatment program in Beverly Hills, she now helps families navigate the challenges of raising kids in a digital world. Drawing on both her clinical expertise and her own journey as a mom of two boys, Dr. Carrie blends neuroscience, attachment theory, and practical tools to empower parents to set healthy tech boundaries and strengthen family connection.
Making a Scene Presents - Building a Superfan Funnel: How AI Turns Followers into Paid SupportersIf you're an indie musician today, you already know the game has changed. It's no longer enough to just put your music on Spotify and hope someone stumbles across it. The truth is, music discovery happens everywhere—on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and even random memes. But discovery is only the first step. The real challenge is moving fans from casually liking one of your videos to becoming true superfans—the kind who buy tickets, grab merch, and support your career for the long run. http://www.makingascene.org

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has had a notably impactful week, marked by the release of a new Huberman Lab Essentials episode that's already generating buzz both inside the scientific community and on social platforms according to his official Threads account. The September 18 episode tackled the highly charged debate over moderate drinking and its effects on health, fueling headlines and significant discussion across wellness media. As reported on Stanford's own news site, these Essentials episodes aim to distill actionable science for public use—a mission that continues to expand his influence as science communicator at global scale.In business activity, Huberman's podcast, which remains the number one science and health podcast in the world based on Apple Podcasts and Spotify rankings, rolled out back-to-back features on strength training and hormone optimization, collaborating with strength coach Bret Contreras and performance expert Dr. Duncan French. These episodes garnered hundreds of thousands of new plays in under a week according to listener reports and social media posts, showing no signs of Huberman Lab's audience engagement slowing down. Many subscribers have highlighted these latest releases as some of the podcast's most practical and accessible—fueling a new wave of fitness and health protocol adoption as evident in online discussions and user testimonials published on the Huberman Lab site.Further business momentum centers on the pre-release campaign for Huberman's debut book, Protocols, described as an essential operating manual for the human body. Preorder activity for this book is reportedly brisk according to updates on the Huberman Lab platform, showing early signs that its publication may become a milestone event. There's speculation among book industry analysts, though not yet confirmed by major publishers, that Protocols could enter bestseller territory even before launch, given Huberman's broad following and the book's appeal to both lay and professional audiences.In terms of public appearances, Huberman hosted live virtual Q and A sessions for his premium podcast community, allowing audience-submitted questions on a range of neuroscience and mental health topics. On the research front, Huberman's name surfaced in connection with recent online discussions about hormonal changes and libido, as new science content referencing his expertise on ovulation and libido circuits was circulated in health news outlets and across social media.Social media mentions surged over the weekend as clips of Huberman addressing the mechanisms behind libido changes during ovulation, as well as his protocols for sleep optimization and mood enhancement, broke into trending status on Threads and YouTube Shorts. While there are hints of a collaboration with other thought leaders in behavioral neuroscience, such as posted panel footage from last week's research forums, all collaborations outside regular podcast guests remain unconfirmed as of this writing.There have been no significant negative news stories or controversies attached to Huberman in the past several days. Rather, headlines from science media and recent audience testimonials continue to frame him as a leading figure in translating neuroscience for public benefit, supported by his ongoing role as a tenured professor at Stanford and his increasing footprint in the health extension and tech-for-wellness spaces.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

2025 Sonbaharında Dijital Reklam Trendleri Neleri Değiştirecek?2025 sonbaharıyla birlikte dijital reklam dünyası yepyeni bir döneme giriyor. Yapay zeka destekli kampanya optimizasyonlarından çerezsiz dünyaya geçişe, dikey video içeriklerden mikro-influencer iş birliklerine kadar markaları bekleyen büyük bir dönüşüm var. Bu bölümde, sonbahar sezonuna hazırlanırken öne çıkacak dijital reklam trendlerini derinlemesine ele alıyorum.Yapay zekanın reklam metinlerini, görsellerini ve hedeflemeyi nasıl dönüştürdüğünü, dinamik ve kişiselleştirilmiş reklam deneyimlerinin satışlara nasıl katkı sağladığını, sesli arama ve podcast reklamlarının neden yükselişte olduğunu konuşuyoruz. Google'ın 3rd party çerezleri tamamen kaldırmasıyla birlikte markaların nasıl first-party data toplaması gerektiğine, CRM entegrasyonlarının önemine ve kullanıcı verisi yönetiminde şeffaflığın neden kritik hale geldiğine değiniyoruz.2025 sonbaharının en büyük sürprizlerinden biri de video reklamların geleceği. TikTok, Instagram Reels ve YouTube Shorts'un yön verdiği 9:16 dikey video formatı artık tüm platformlarda ana akım haline geldi. Tüketicilerin samimi, hızlı ve gerçekçi içeriklere verdiği tepki, markaları daha doğal reklam stratejileri geliştirmeye zorluyor. Aynı zamanda etkileşimli ve alışverişe yönlendiren reklam modelleri — örneğin canlı yayın üzerinden alışveriş, AR ile ürün deneme deneyimleri veya QR kod entegreli kampanyalar — e-ticaret tarafında devrim yaratıyor.Mikro-influencer iş birlikleri de sonbaharın dikkat çeken trendlerinden biri. Büyük kitlelere ulaşan makro influencer'ların yerini, topluluklarıyla güçlü bağ kuran ve yüksek etkileşim sağlayan mikro influencer'lar alıyor. Özellikle moda, teknoloji, kozmetik ve yerel işletmeler için bu iş birlikleri daha organik ve sürdürülebilir sonuçlar doğuruyor.Bir diğer öne çıkan başlık ise artırılmış gerçeklik (AR) ve metaverse deneyimleri. Tüketiciler ürünleri satın almadan önce sanal ortamda deneyimlemek istiyor. Sonbaharda markaların, kullanıcıların evinden çıkmadan ürünleri test edebileceği AR çözümlerine daha fazla yatırım yapacağını göreceğiz.Performans pazarlamasında ölçümleme yöntemleri de ciddi bir dönüşüm içinde. Çerezsiz dünyada incrementality testleri, Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) ve platform içi dönüşüm API'leri markaların reklam etkinliğini anlamasında kritik hale geliyor. Türkiye'deki markalar için Meta Conversion API ve Google Ads Enhanced Conversions geçişleri önümüzdeki aylarda gündemin üst sıralarında olacak.Ve son olarak sonbaharın ruhuna uygun bir trend: duygusal hikaye anlatımı. İnsanlar sadece indirim veya satış mesajı görmek istemiyor. Onlarla empati kuran, sürdürülebilirlik ve sosyal sorumluluk projelerine yer veren markalar, daha güçlü bir marka bağlılığı oluşturacak. Bu, özellikle yıl sonuna doğru yapılacak kampanyalarda tüketici tercihlerini doğrudan etkileyecek.Kısacası 2025 sonbaharı dijital reklamlarda akıllı teknolojilerin, kişiselleştirilmiş deneyimlerin ve güvene dayalı pazarlamanın yılı olacak. Rekabetin bu kadar yoğun olduğu bir dönemde öne çıkmak isteyen markaların bu trendlere hızla uyum sağlaması gerekiyor.Bu bölümde sizlere sadece trendleri anlatmıyorum, aynı zamanda bu değişimlere nasıl hazırlanabileceğinizi, markanızı geleceğe taşıyacak hangi stratejilere odaklanmanız gerektiğini de paylaşıyorum.Türkiye'de Dijital Pazarlama Podcasti'nin bu bölümünü dinleyerek hem 2025 sonbaharındaki reklam dünyasına yön veren dinamikleri öğrenecek hem de kendi kampanyalarınızı daha güçlü kılacak fikirler bulacaksınız.Ben Faruk Toprak.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has found himself not just at the center of science headlines this week but again as a lightning rod for both adulation and scrutiny. After weeks of radio silence following Kerry Howleys intense New York Magazine exposé on his personal and professional life, reports from OIV on September 5 signal he has finally broken his silence, although he has thus far sidestepped any direct public statement in his own media channels. The exposé in question sparked a flurry of speculation online about topics ranging from his Stanford affiliations to allegations about his relationships and disclosure practices, but as of now, most reputable sources confirm he has not issued a formal response beyond continuing his regular work.Turning to his public output and business activity, Huberman has barely missed a beat. On September 8, he hosted Stanford genomics pioneer Dr Michael Snyder for a new Huberman Lab podcast episode, steering the conversation to cutting-edge ways to personalize metabolic health and longevity interventions. Just four days prior, he released an Essentials segment with Dr Alia Crum, delving into the science of mindsets and how belief systems fundamentally shape health outcomes. The podcast itself remains wildly successful, frequently topping health charts globally, and his email-based Neural Network Newsletter now claims over one million subscribers according to the Huberman Lab. Recent issues have continued to offer practical protocols for better sleep and mental performance, with user reactions overwhelmingly positive.In terms of social media activity, the world has not seen a return to the frequent Instagram stories or Twitter threads that made Huberman a staple in the wellness meme-verse—likely a deliberate choice as the media storm swirls. Andrew Huberman has nonetheless maintained visibility through viral clips, with The Nine Club podcast and others circulating a recent segment where he discussed the fastest evidence-backed way to lose fat, picking up steam on YouTube Shorts and TikTok. Two major Indian news outlets, the Times of India and Times Now News, amplified his physiological sigh technique for immediate stress reduction, framing it as not just science but essential mental health hygiene.Mens Journal picked up another resonant Huberman theme, quoting his warning that a late-night drink may actually spike stress and anxiety instead of taking the edge off—this contrarian soundbite is making the rounds on wellness influencer feeds. Despite—or perhaps because of—the ongoing public fascination with both his research and personal life, Andrew Huberman remains at the forefront of neuroscience conversation, combining academic rigor with pop-culture magnetism, and in recent days, both his silence and his voice have become newsworthy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

In this episode of Oldest Stories, we explore the later reign of Tiglath-Pileser III, one of the most transformative kings of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. By the late 8th century BCE, Assyria's power seemed unstoppable, yet beneath the victories lay structural weaknesses.We examine four key failures that reveal how the empire actually worked:The eastern provincial revolts of 737 BCE, exposing the limits of Assyria's new provincial system.The failed Assyrian siege of Tushpa, capital of Urartu, and what it taught about siege warfare and logistics.The Babylonian crisis of the 730s, where Chaldeans, Arameans, and internal rebellions undermined Assyria's southern policy.The succession struggle following Tiglath-Pileser's death, setting the stage for Shalmaneser V and the rise of Sargon II.Along the way we look at Assyrian reforms, deportation policies, eunuch officials, Assyrian-Babylonian relations, and Urartian resistance. We also discuss how propaganda, letters, and oracles shaped royal decisions, and why even the greatest reforming king of Assyria faced real limits to his power.If you are interested in Ancient Mesopotamia, Assyrian history, Babylon, Urartu, Neo-Assyrian military reforms, biblical history, or the geopolitics of the ancient Near East, this episode will give you an in-depth, historically grounded perspective.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we kick off Season 14, I've been revisiting past episodes and reflecting on the incredible insights our guests have shared since we first launched in 2019. I mentioned last week that this reflection started when a young filmmaker, Vishal Sharma[i], reached out to me and offered to create YouTube Shorts[ii] from past interviews. When I saw his first example, something clicked. As I reviewed older episodes, I realized I had only scratched the surface of the lessons within each interview. So as we dive into this review of past conversations, know that this review isn't just for you—it's for me as well. I've learned that slowing down helps us to uncover even more wisdom, and I'm excited for us to walk this path together. For today's Episode 367, we're going back to Episode 66[iii] with the late Bob Proctor—the first person who challenged me to think. Last week we covered our first YouTube Short[iv] where we picked out three important nuggets of wisdom that I had missed until re-listening to this episode. We covered in PART 1: ✔ Top Lesson from Episode 66 – Where we refined the question: “What do you really want to do with your life?” hoping that midway through 2025, we can refine our goals, and see if we are on track. ✔ Sage Advice Tip #1: “We have been given the mental faculties to create our own environment. “We explored how to go beyond our five senses and tap into the six higher faculties of our mind (further developing our reason, intuition, perception, will, memory and imagination.” ✔ Sage Advice Tip #2: “There's only one mind.” We looked at how our actions matter because we are all deeply connected. ✔ Sage Advice Tip#3: “We are a soul—we don't have one.” We reflected on the perfection within each of us, and how this perfection continually drives us toward bigger and better possibilities. Today, we are going to cover 2 short video clips and dive into the wisdom contained within each, making the connections with each nugget of wisdom learned. And since I'm always looking to connect the science to our learning, there are some age-old success principles we will cover today, that are proven to work time and time again. While science doesn't call out the success principles exactly as we will cover them today, Stanford University neuroscientist and tenured professor of neurobiology, Dr. Andrew Huberman does discuss “the science of imagination and its impact on creativity and learning” on his recent podcast episode “The Science of Creativity: How to Enhance Creative Innovation.”[v] Keep an open mind, as we discover how we can rise to new levels of success by applying the timeless principles we explored in Episode 66. For today's EP 367-PART 2 of our review of EP 66, we will cover: Sage Tip #1: In the first clip we learned that “If we want to improve our RESULTS, we must focus on the six faculties of our mind—reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination.” The key is to choose one of these faculties and dedicate time to studying and applying it until you see real results from your deeper understanding. You could even spend an entire year on just one faculty, and it would be time well invested. Sage Tip #2: In the second clip we learned that “Goals are not set to get; they are set to grow.” Sometimes goals don't unfold the way we expect, and that's okay—as long as we keep moving forward and growing. To do this, we must keep studying, learning about ourselves, clarifying what we truly want, and seeking specialized knowledge in our field from those who have gone before us. VIDEO 1 Watch by Clicking Here Click on the link in the show notes to watch video clip 1 where I asked the question “what are some of the common reasons why people don't reach their full potential” as I've always wondered why many of us get stuck. It really has boggled my mind over the years why there is such a puzzle around reaching high levels of success and achievement. Myself included. Bob replied with “well, the answer to that is pretty obvious. We were not taught anything about ourselves” and he went right back to how we were never taught how to live beyond our five senses, and most of us haven't fully developed the six faculties of our mind that we went into on EP 294[vi] and he said that we let the outside world control us. That rang true to me. It's a rare individual who moves forward, towards their goals, past the many obstacles they face. Something always seems to get in the way, and delay progress, but those who achieve these high levels of success, have become masters at moving forward, despite what they face. Sage Tip #1: If we want to improve our RESULTS, we are going to have to narrow in on the six faculties of our mind (our reason, intuition, perception, will, memory and imagination). You can review the 6 faculties on EP 294[vii] where we covered each faculty, with examples on how to develop them. We could spend years working on each faculty, to really sharpen the saw. I remember when I first found a book on how to develop my intuition (one of the 6 faculties of the mind). It was my early days of living in the US (after moving from Toronto to Arizona in 2001, sometime after September 11th had happened) and I was cleaning someone's house (after the work I was doing in the seminar industry came to a fast halt without the ability for people to travel by air) I found work that brought me more money than I imagined possible. It was a humbling time, that's for sure. I noticed this book on a book shelf and asked the owner if I could read her book, and bring it back when I returned. I remember she looked at me and said “keep it!” and took it off her book shelf. I must have given that book to someone else to read, (following her example) but I still have the next one I bought after that, called Developing Intuition by Shakti Gawain.[viii] Take your time learning these six intellectual factors. Each one, will serve you well once you learn how to use them, and developing these faculties would be one of the main differentiators that Bob mentioned separated those who achieved their goals, from those who did not. The biggest lesson I learned from diving into my intuitive factor (from reading these books) was learning to trust myself with the insights that would flash on the screen of my mind, (as learned from The Silva Method EP 261),[ix] or listening to my body with what neuroscience calls interoception and finally, applying this intuition to my work life, something that 20 years ago, was not a concept ever spoken about in our corporate workplaces. I'll never forget when Greg Link, who took the 7 Habits Book to great heights with the Covey Organization, mentioned this book on Intuition, on EP 207[x] on “Unleashing Greatness with Neuroscience, Trust and the 7 Habits.” If Gawain's book on Intuition was on Greg Link's book shelf, I think that's enough to say it comes highly recommended. To sharpen your saw on these higher faculties, go back and review EP 274, and make it a mission to work on one faculty at a time, until you are using each one, effectively, in your daily life. This will be time well spent.

And sometimes if the goals don't work, that's ok. As long as you keep going, and growing. The main thing is that you keep growing, and become more of what you are designed to become. We have to keep doing greater good, and expand on what we are doing.” Then he went back to Thomas Troward's quote that we covered last week, saying that “spirit is always for expansion and fuller expression” which explains that we will want to do bigger and better things all the time. To do this, he says, “we will need help, because specialized knowledge is so important.” Keep Growing There is a lot to think about with this tip. How do you keep growing? I think the answer to this is to keep studying and learning about yourself. I sometimes hear my kids say they want to do something (can we go to the mall) because they are bored, and I think, “why not read a book” and take your mind on a trip inside the pages of a book. I want to hand them Shakti Gawain's book on Developing Intuition and tell them to come back to me in a year and tell me what they have learned, but in order to study and do the work needed, it has to come from within each person. You'll agree with me if you have ever tried to force someone to read a book that you are enjoying. It's much easier to transfer knowledge to others just by living by example. Do your own work. Keep studying, learning, growing, and when asked what you are reading, share what you are doing. You won't be surprised when others come back and tell you that they have bought the book you are reading, and share with you what they have learned. Learning is contagious, but it must come from within each person, when they are ready. Specialized Knowledge We covered the importance of this topic on PART 3 of our Review of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book back on EP 193[xi] as this book has a whole chapter dedicated to Specialized Knowledge. Just to review, and further hone in on what it is that we want, chapter 5 of Hill's book reminds us that an understanding of specialized knowledge will separate you from everyone else, making you special with the knowledge you have acquired. In chapter 5 Hill teaches us that knowledge (general or specialized) must be “organized and intelligently directed” (CH 5, page 79, TAGR) “and is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if it is organized into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end.” While we are working on whatever it is that we want, and we are studying and learning, and growing as a result of this, we now add the understanding of asking others who have knowledge that we need (specialized knowledge) that we will take, organize it, and use it in pursuit of whatever it is we are working on. REVIEW and CONCLUSION To wrap up this week's Episode 367—where we revisited two powerful clips from Episode 66, our interview with Bob Proctor—we explored: Sage Tip #1: In the first clip we learned that “If we want to improve our RESULTS, we must focus on the six faculties of our mind—reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination.” The key is to choose one of these faculties and dedicate time to studying and applying it until you see real results from your deeper understanding. You could even spend an entire year on just one faculty, and it would be time well invested. Sage Tip #2: In the second clip we learned that “Goals are not set to get; they are set to grow.” Sometimes goals don't unfold the way we expect, and that's okay—as long as we keep moving forward and growing. To do this, we must keep studying, learning about ourselves, clarifying what we truly want, and seeking specialized knowledge in our field from those who have gone before us. I hope that these tips that I wanted to revisit have helped you to continue to sharpen your saw, and bring you closer to whatever it is that you are working on this year. What I'm learning is that there isn't an end to this process. We will always seek “fuller and greater expression” and to dedicate time to studying and learning about ourselves, we separating ourselves from those who struggle to reach their goals, to the ones who attain them, and then reach out to help others do the same. With that thought, we will close out this episode and I'll see you next week, for PART 3 of our review of EP 66.

Through the lens of practical neuroscience, learn how to craft huge goals, venture beyond our senses, and tap into the higher faculties of mind to transform those dreams into reality. Discover the essence of interconnectedness and the profound truth that we are souls, not just physical beings. This episode is a roadmap for anyone yearning to refine their goals and elevate their understanding to new heights. Don't miss this exploration of timeless wisdom that promises transformative growth. In this first part of our series, we'll explore: How to ask the right questions to uncover your real desires. Why you must go beyond your five senses and tap into your higher mental faculties—like imagination, intuition, and will—to create a life you love. The mindset shift that transforms vague wishes into powerful, crystal-clear goals. Bob's wisdom wasn't just theory—it was a challenge to think differently, act boldly, and believe in possibilities far beyond my comfort zone. And it all begins with one question: “What do you really want?” Watch our past interview here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHWMCzfODU4 Watch our YouTube Short here https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_npFmt6zVE4 BE SURE TO SIGN UP TO SEE THE NEW MOVIE Bob Proctor's Legacy https://www.bobproctorlegacy.com/ On the EP 366, and PART 1 review of EP 66 we will cover: ✔ Top Lesson from Episode 66 – Refining the question: “What do you really want to do with your life?” ✔ Sage Advice #1: “We have been given the mental faculties to create our own environment.” We explored how to go beyond our five senses and tap into the six higher faculties of our mind. ✔ Sage Advice #2: “There's only one mind.” We looked at how our actions matter because we are all deeply connected. ✔ Sage Advice #3: “We are a soul—we don't have one.” We reflected on the perfection within each of us, and how it continually drives us toward bigger and better possibilities. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago I started this podcast with one big question that I had never thought of in the past: If productivity and results matter to you—how exactly are you using your brain to make these results happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to boost our productivity, results, or well-being. That's why I set out to bring you the world's top experts—so we can learn the intersection of science, and social and emotional learning skills, putting what we learn into action every day, for predictable results. As we kick off Season 14, I've been revisiting past episodes and reflecting on the incredible insights our guests have shared since we first launched in 2019. This reflection started when a young filmmaker, Vishal Sharma[i], reached out to me and offered to create YouTube Shorts[ii] from past interviews. When I saw his first example, something clicked. As I reviewed older episodes, I realized I had only scratched the surface of the lessons inside each interview. I started re-listening—not just to refresh my memory, but to deepen my own understanding. And honestly, I was surprised at how many ideas I had missed or forgotten. So as we dive into this review of past conversations, know that this isn't just for you, the listener—it's for me as well. I've learned that slowing down helps us uncover even more wisdom, and I'm excited for us to walk this path together. For today's Episode 366[iii], we're going back to Episode 66 where my journey began, with the legendary Bob Proctor—the first person who truly challenged me to think. Back in the late 1990s, he asked me a simple but life-changing question: “What do you really want to do with your life?” I remember being completely stumped. I didn't have a clear, well-thought-out answer. But looking back, I'm grateful he asked—because that question launched me on the path to understanding the mind, the brain, psychology, and neuroscience. It's been a journey that's had plenty of twists and turns, and where everything began for me. As we revisit past episodes like this one, my hope is that together, we can create a roadmap for success—one that helps you take the lessons you hear and actually apply them in your daily life. So going back to EP 66, and our interview with Bob Proctor, I think back and remember that it was easy to book time on Bob's calendar back then, because this interview was scheduled June 2020, right at the start of the pandemic. Prior to this time, it would have been very difficult to have made this interview happen. I had written out some of the most important life lessons I had learned from Bob, prior to recording our interview, and while all the lessons are important, I am going to focus on the first one for this review. I learned how to set huge goals—goals most people might call “crazy”—when Bob asked me, “What do you really want?” When I gave him my answer, I knew I could have done better. I didn't have my life all thought out at the time. I didn't know what the faculties of my mind were, nor had I spent any time developing my intuition, or imagination. He met me where I was, and explained that there were specific steps I needed to follow. It began with writing my goals on a card he gave me, and I did what he told me to do. I actually put some of the goals into visual pictures that I drew out to go along with each goal. He told me that if I followed all his suggestions and truly believed in what I was doing, I could achieve what I wanted. I believed him—and I followed through. Looking back at the list of goals I set back then, in my early days of self-discovery, most of these goals were eventually achieved, and this “writing of goals on a card” became a yearly ritual to help me to keep moving forward. This was 26 years ago, and while that “goal-setting” activity was an important lesson to learn, as we are revisiting these episodes, and planning out the roadmap for this review, I'm personally revisiting this question now, and refining my vision for the next 1, 3, 5 and 10 years. What about you, the listener? Wherever you are tuning in from, around the world. Do you have a clear written description of what it is that YOU want? If we never think about this important question, and clearly write it all out, I'm sure you will agree with me that life will pass by, and our results will stay exactly the same. So, as we walk through each interview together, digging into the lessons we might have missed, do this with your written vision of what it is that you want, right in front of you, to refine and improve along the way. “What do you REALLY want?”[iv] Now let's visit some of the pieces of wisdom I missed in EP 66, by reviewing our YouTube Shorts and see if we can take our understanding to new heights. VIDEO 1 Watch this YouTube Short SAGE ADVICE 1 “We have been given the mental faculties to create our own environment.” What exactly does this mean? In Episode 294, we explored these mental faculties in depth, revisiting the lessons Bob taught those 12 teenagers who forever changed the course of my life. That moment was the true starting point for me, and it began with this concept where I learned that if we can learn to live beyond our 5 senses (what we see, hear, smell, taste and touch” and begin to live through our higher faculties of mind (our reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination” we will take our results to unimaginable heights. Much of creating what I truly wanted in those early days began with my imagination, one of our mental faculties. The vision I wrote down on paper back then wasn't logical by any standard—but it was the understanding of these mental faculties that shaped my future. This is a good concept to revisit, to be sure that when setting goals, that we are tapping into these “higher faculties of our mind” and reaching for places, things, experiences that stretch us beyond what we know we are capable to achieving. These higher faculties are here to take us to these NEW heights that we can only see when we open up to the potential of new possibilities that we may never have thought of before. REMEMBER: “Imagination is the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has ever known.” Napoleon Hill SAGE ADVICE 2 “There's only one mind.” When I first encountered this idea, it was in something I was reading that included a diagram—people connected like lightbulbs, all drawing from one main source. This can be seen as universal consciousness, or the collective consciousness, a reminder that we are all connected to each other and to the single intelligence behind all existence. It's a profound concept, but to me it simply means this: what I do matters, because it affects the whole. I believe our goal is to continually expand our awareness and deepen our consciousness—a feat that National Geographic describes as “the most astonishing act our big, complex, interconnected brains pull off, and scientists are only just beginning to understand” (The Brain, Julia Sklar). SAGE ADVICE 3 “We are a soul, we don't have one.” [v] This concept suggests that “the essence of a person is their soul” rather than their physical body. We did touch on the mind/body/soul connection with Marie Gervais on EP 214[vi] and I will always work on seeing the “spirit” of a person, and look deeper, than just taking what I “see” at face value. To better understand yourself and your goals, it makes sense to understand this concept that “we are a soul, we don't have one.” There is “perfection” within each of us, and that perfection is seeking expression (with and through us). I could spend an hour talking about this one from Thomas Troward's Dore Lectures of Mental Science where he explains that “My mind is A center of Divine operation. (think of a center of a basketball where there is power with movement, or so above/so below). The Divine operation is always for expansion and fuller expression, (we are always going to want more-if we are in sales, we will want more sales, if we are a runner, we will want to run faster. We will never be satisfied unless we are growing. We will always want to do what we do-better) and this means the production of something beyond what has gone before, (we have never done this thing YET) something entirely new, not included in past experience, though proceeding out of it by an orderly sequence of growth.” (this is HOW we move towards what we want, that thing that we imagined, something that takes us BEYOND where we have ever been…into a whole NEW place that in the beginning we could only see with our imagination, until one day…we are living this thing or live we imagined). And with just diving into 3 tips of wisdom from EP 66, there is so much more still to cover. REVIEW and CONCLUSION To wrap up this week's Episode 366—where we revisited a clip from Episode 66, our interview with Bob Proctor—we explored: ✔ Top Lesson from Episode 66 – Refining the question: “What do you really want to do with your life?” ✔ Sage Advice #1: “We have been given the mental faculties to create our own environment.” We explored how to go beyond our five senses and tap into the six higher faculties of our mind. ✔ Sage Advice #2: “There's only one mind.” We looked at how our actions matter because we are all deeply connected. ✔ Sage Advice #3: “We are a soul—we don't have one.” We reflected on the perfection within each of us, and how it continually drives us toward bigger and better possibilities. With that, we will close out this episode. I hope that reviewing our past interviews helps you to refine your goals this year, and work towards whatever it is that YOU really want. I'll see you next week with PART 2 of our review of EP 66. There's a lot still left to explore from this one.

Guess what: your million-dollar idea isn't safe. Not unless you know the difference between a patent, a trademark, and a trade secret. In this episode, Matt and Lou sit down with IP attorney Austin Bonderer to reveal the legal toolbox small businesses and startups need to protect what matters most: your ideas, brand, and secret sauce. They dive into patent basics, trademark headaches, global filing strategies, AI risks, and trade secrets worth their weight in gold. Here's what you'll learn: ✅ Patents = a government‑granted monopoly (the why and how) ✅ The three must-have criteria: useful, novel, unobvious ✅ Design patents cover looks; utility covers functionality ✅ Trademarks aren't just logos; they protect consumers by preventing confusion ✅ Patent trolls explained; intellectual property as investment ✅ Global patents via PCT; 30-month deadline to enter country filings ✅ Trade secrets = your unregistered secret sauce (think Coca‑Cola recipe) ✅ AI disclosures can kill your patent (think twice before feeding it secret ideas) ✅ Public domain explosion: patents expire after ~20 years; copyrights ~90 years + life Who is Austin? Austin Bonderer is the founder of the Law Offices of Austin Bonderer, dedicated solely to intellectual property. A former patent examiner and stalwart lawyer, his passion is helping entrepreneurs actually protect their work without draining their budgets.
