Episode 114: How to Build Habits That Stick (Not Rely on Willpower) – Claire Jackson

Focus and Chill - productivity tactics for AuDHDers and other neurodivergent folks 

<answer>
- Late Diagnosis ADHD Journey: Claire Jackson was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult after experiencing significant struggles during motherhood and the pandemic. Previously misdiagnosed with anxiety, she faced challenges with memory, emotional regulation, sensory issues, and feeling constantly misunderstood. The diagnosis brought self-compassion and understanding but also challenges including medication management and occasional denial from family members.

- Battery Level Energy Management: Claire begins each day with an intuitive energy check-in, assessing her "battery percentage" to determine what she can realistically accomplish. This practice allows her to adjust her expectations and workload based on her current capacity rather than forcing herself to follow a rigid schedule that doesn't account for energy fluctuations.

- Structured Morning Ritual vs. Evening Routine: Claire has developed a 7-minute "no matter what" morning ritual that includes affirmations ("Today is going to be a good day"), medication, gratitude journaling, and brief physical movement. In contrast, her evening routine remains a work in progress, though she's implementing strategies like preparing for the next day and minimizing screen time.

- Tiny Habits Over Willpower: Rather than relying on willpower, Claire uses the Tiny Habits methodology to design sustainable behavior changes. This approach focuses on making habits small enough to be easily achievable, celebrating small wins to get dopamine hits, and stacking habits together to build momentum.

- Task Management for ADHD: Claire uses a structured approach to task management, including a "master list" of tasks that she then distributes across her days based on energy levels and commitments. She limits herself to three non-negotiable tasks per day to avoid overwhelm and uses time-blocking to manage her work periods.

- Leveraging Hyperfocus and Strengths: Claire strategically channels her hyperfocus abilities for deep work by identifying her optimal working times (10 AM-12 PM), designing her environment to support focus, and using data tracking to identify personal patterns of productivity. She consciously designs her business and parenting approaches to work with her neurodivergent traits rather than against them.

- Accountability and Environment Design: To maintain productivity, Claire uses body doubling (working alongside others), co-working spaces, and accountability partners. She designs her environment to naturally provide the dopamine her brain needs through color, sensory experiences, and stimulation to prevent seeking it through less helpful channels.

- Professional Evolution: As Australia's Chief Habits Officer and founder of The Habit Lab, Claire is transitioning from one-off workshops to sustained support programs, offering both self-led digital courses and coach-led group programs. This approach recognizes that lasting habit change requires ongoing accountability and support beyond initial motivation.

- Rest as a Strategy: Claire emphasizes that rest is a strategic productivity tool rather than a reward. She deliberately schedules downtime and recognizes when she needs to step back, understanding that pushing through fatigue is counterproductive for the neurodivergent brain.

- Radical Self-Compassion: Throughout her journey, Claire has embraced "radical self-compassion" - accepting her neurological differences without judgment and designing systems that work with her brain rather than fighting against it. Her final advice summarizes this philosophy: "You don't have to justify your brain to people unwilling to understand it."

The O'Reilly Update, November 26, 2025

Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis

<answer>
- Military May Cut Ties With Scouting America: Secretary of War Pete Hexseth is proposing that the military end its century-long support of what was formerly the Boy Scouts (now Scouting America). Hexseth argues the organization no longer upholds its mission to cultivate masculine values, especially after allowing girls to join. This would end military medical and logistical aid for events like the National Jamboree.

- Transgender Athlete Controversy: The World's Strongest Woman competition in Texas was won by Jamie Booker, who is transgender. The second-place finisher walked off the podium in protest, and another contestant posted on Instagram about protecting women's sports.

- FBI Investigating Six Democratic Lawmakers: The FBI is trying to schedule interviews with six Democratic members of Congress who made a video suggesting troops should not obey illegal orders. A CIA spokesperson criticized Senator Slotkin of Michigan, a former CIA employee, for using her credentials to advance a "malicious and disingenuous political agenda."

- Presidential Turkey Pardons: President Trump pardoned two turkeys for Thanksgiving, noting they were "the biggest ever" at over 50 pounds each. Trump also claimed Biden's previous year's pardons were "null and void" because Biden used an auto-pen, so Trump re-pardoned those turkeys as well.

- Thanksgiving Message on American Resilience: Bill O'Reilly compared today's challenges to those faced by the Puritans who arrived on the Mayflower in 1622. Despite high costs of living and political turbulence, O'Reilly emphasized that America remains a land of opportunity, and "we will get through it," though he warned that "next year is not going to be easy either."

- Historical Perspective on Puritan Life: The "Something You Might Not Know" segment detailed the harsh realities of Puritan life after their 1620 arrival in North America. The Puritans established strict rules including mandatory church attendance, severe punishments for sexual misconduct, public humiliation for drunkenness, and brutal torture methods like "pressing" for those accused of witchcraft or murder.

The Stack is a weekly comic book review podcast, hosted by Comic Book Club - Live! New episodes post every Wednesday at 9am ET.

The Stack: Absolute Batman, Infernal Hulk, And More

The Stack

<answer>
Epic Showdown in Absolute Batman #14: The final confrontation between Batman and Bane delivers an over-the-top battle with manga-influenced art by Nick Dragotta. Batman uses all his former rogues-turned-monsters to defeat Bane without succumbing to darkness himself. The issue showcases why superheroes matter, as Batman finds a solution beyond simply becoming what he's fighting against. Scott Snyder's storytelling and Dragotta's dynamic art create a perfect melding that celebrates both superheroes and comics as a medium.

Horror Reimagined in Infernal Hulk #1: Philip Kennedy Johnson launches a new horror-focused Hulk series where Bruce Banner has been ripped out and replaced by a demonic entity called Eldest. The issue features graphic violence with the Hulk killing people and sitting atop a skull throne. Artist Nic Klein and colorist Matthew Wilson create stunning visuals that emphasize the horror elements, with the issue ending on a montage of Marvel heroes learning about the Hulk incident.

DC K.O. Tournament Heats Up: The second issue of the DC crossover event shows 32 contenders battling for artifacts, with only 16 moving forward in a tournament to become King Omega who can defeat Darkseid. Superman makes the difficult choice to possibly become Darkseid-like to win, contrasting with Batman's refusal to become like his enemy in Absolute Batman. The event has generated several strong tie-in issues, including Superman #32 and Justice League Unlimited #13, which enhance the main story while standing on their own.

Age of Revelation X-Men Event Delivers Uneven Results: Four Age of Revelation tie-ins released this week (Cloak or Dagger #2, Expatriate X-Men #2, X-Vengers #2, and Undeadpool #2) show inconsistent quality and connection to the main event. Most suffer from compression into three-issue miniseries and lack strong ties to the central storyline. Standouts include Tim Seeley's Undeadpool, featuring zombie Deadpool facing off against Cable, and Justina Ireland's Cloak or Dagger, which presents an interesting shared-body status quo.

Batman/Green Arrow/The Question Crossover Launches: Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia #1 by Gabriel Hardman brings together three distinct heroes with different socioeconomic backgrounds. The issue successfully differentiates the characters rather than treating them as variations of Batman, with clear motivations and approaches to the environmental mystery they're investigating. The art features impressive Batman costume designs and clear action scenes throughout.

The Department of Truth Tackles Modern Politics: Issue #34 brings the conspiracy thriller firmly into Trump-era politics after previously focusing on historical conspiracies. The issue directly addresses misinformation in modern politics, while the backup story by Scott Snyder about Elvis expertly weaves the musician's real history with the series' mythology about belief shaping reality. The backup story particularly stands out as one of the week's best comics narratives.

Punisher Takes a Beating in Two Series: Both Daredevil & Punisher: The Devil's Trigger #1 and Marvel Knights: The Punisher #2 by Jimmy Palmiotti present troubled takes on the character. In Devil's Trigger, Punisher sets up Daredevil to watch him kill someone, while in Marvel Knights, Frank Castle has been turned into "El Zombie," a brainless enforcer controlled by a mob boss. Both versions leave the character without agency, reflecting current challenges in Punisher storytelling.

Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man Concludes: The fourth and final issue features the protagonist finally turning invisible in the back half, with gorgeous art throughout. The series explores the psychological profile of a sociopath who sees invisibility as a power but discovers it's a curse. The story effectively sets up a potential sequel series while functioning as a prequel to the classic Universal monster movie.

Devil on My Shoulder Launches New Horror Series: Kyle Starks and Peter Kowalski begin a revenge tale about a woman seeking vengeance against her abusers, with a supernatural element teased for future issues. The first issue comes with a trigger warning about violence but promises the protagonist's revenge will be even worse. The creative team continues their successful run of horror comics following Culdesac.

Absolute Wonder Woman Explores Mythological Balance: Issue #14 by Kelly Thompson and Matías Bergara features Wonder Woman battling her evil opposite and meeting with Gaia to restore balance. The issue demonstrates how Wonder Woman outsmarts her situation rather than simply fighting, similar to Batman's approach in his series. The introduction of Zatanna sets up the upcoming crossover with Absolute Batman, with noticeable chemistry between the two characters.

Feral Continues Its Dark Animal Tale: Issue #18 pushes the post-apocalyptic talking animal series into even darker territory as the cats deal with the fallout of taking over Pet City. Despite its cartoon-like art by Trish Forstner and Tone Rodriguez, the series handles complex emotions and zombie storytelling more effectively than many mainstream horror titles. The series balances multiple characters and continues to surprise with its willingness to go to dark places.

Ken Stern: The Secret to an Enduring and Thriving Life

Commonwealth Club of California Podcast

<answer>
Social Connection as a Key to Longevity: Ken Stern's research reveals that social health—the quality of our social connections—is a critical factor in determining life expectancy. His investigations across five countries showed that places with strong social networks consistently had better health outcomes, regardless of economic status or healthcare access.

America's Loneliness Crisis and Health Consequences: The U.S. has experienced a dramatic decline in social connectedness over the past 50 years, with fewer friends and weaker community ties. This has contributed to the U.S. having the worst life expectancy and healthy life expectancy among advanced economies—about 10 years less healthy life than places like Tokyo.

Biology of Loneliness: Being socially disconnected triggers negative biological responses including inflammation and elevated cortisol levels. Recent research has even demonstrated that loneliness can accelerate cellular aging, directly impacting longevity through multiple physiological pathways.

Social Policy in Other Nations: Countries with higher life expectancies prioritize social health in their public policies. In Singapore, housing policies encourage multigenerational living; in northern Italy, "active aging" is written into healthcare law; South Korea provides constitutional rights to lifelong learning; and Spain redesigns urban spaces to foster social interaction.

Rethinking the Second Half of Life: Many Americans have been culturally conditioned to view retirement as a "winding down" period rather than a time for continued purpose and growth. Stern describes a "Table 23" phenomenon where older people are segregated and expected to have diminished aspirations, despite potentially having 20+ healthy years ahead.

Building a "Social Health Superhighway": Stern advocates for creating infrastructure to support social connections—community centers for all ages, intergenerational housing, lifelong learning opportunities, and workplace policies supporting longer careers. This requires both cultural change and policy investments.

Intergenerational Connections and Proximity: Research shows that meaningful friendship requires about 50 hours of proximity to form, and 200 hours to become close friends. Creating environments that foster regular interaction across generations is crucial for social health, as demonstrated in successful models abroad.

Bright Spots in American Culture: Some positive trends in the U.S. include growing opportunities in higher education for older adults, increasing rates of intergenerational households, and improved representation of purposeful aging in media and entertainment.

The Role of Urban Design: Countries like Spain have redesigned urban spaces to prioritize pedestrians over cars, creating environments that naturally foster social interactions. These design choices have significant impacts on community connectedness and health outcomes.

Individual Action for Better Social Health: While systemic changes are needed, individuals can improve their social health by shifting their mindset about aging, intentionally placing themselves in proximity to others with shared interests, and cultivating the belief that later years can be as meaningful and purposeful as earlier ones.

"Going Against God" - Controversial Embryo Engineering Sparks Global Outrage Over New Tech

Valuetainment

<answer>
- Designer Baby Technology Controversy: A fertility startup called Nucleus Genomes launched genetic optimization software that allows parents to screen and select embryos based on 2000 genetic predictions, including height, intelligence, eye color, hair color, and disease risk. The company's "Have Your Best Baby" campaign has sparked intense debate about ethics.

- Marketing Campaign Backlash: The company has placed billboards across New York subway stations and posted flyers with slogans like "these babies have great genes," prompting criticism that they're promoting eugenics and creating "designer babies." Critics describe the technology as "dystopian" while supporters argue it simply gives parents more options.

- Ethical Concerns About Playing God: Tom expressed strong opposition to the technology, stating "I don't think we should mess with life." He shared personal experiences considering adoption and concerns about IVF procedures like selective reduction, viewing genetic selection as disturbing and dystopian.

- Health Benefits Versus Natural Design: Adam acknowledged that preventing birth defects like his father's cerebral palsy would be desirable, suggesting the market will determine if this becomes viable. Meanwhile, Vinnie opposed the concept of making children like "build-a-bears," arguing that God makes people different for specific purposes.

- Accessibility and Target Market: The panel noted that this technology would be extremely expensive, with IVF alone costing around $50,000, making it accessible only to the wealthiest segment of society - "the 1% of the 1% of the 1%."

- Personal Rejection of the Technology: Patrick firmly rejected the idea of using such technology for his own family, expressing contentment with his four children, saying "God picked those guys for me, and he picked me for them. I'm a happy camper."

SaaStr 831: How We Use 20+ AI Agents for Marketing & Go-to-Market with SaaStr's Chief AI Officer and CEO & Founder

The Official SaaStr Podcast: SaaS | Founders | Investors

<answer>
- The State of AI in Marketing: According to a recent study from Scale Venture Partners, many companies are behind in leveraging AI for marketing compared to sales or support. Most are only using AI for basic tasks like messaging and research, while more advanced uses like analyzing marketing campaign data, enrichment, scoring, and creative work remain underutilized.

- Specialized Marketing AI Tools: SaaStr uses a specialized stack of AI tools for marketing, with Reeve and Gamma being the core applications. Reeve.art excels at creating professional-looking B2B marketing images and mockups that avoid the "cartoony" look common in other AI image generators. Gamma produces high-quality presentations and sales decks that can be personalized for each prospect.

- Content Repurposing with AI: The team uses Opus Pro to extract the best clips from videos and automatically schedule them on social media. They also use Get Recall to transcribe video content, then feed the transcripts into Claude to create multiple articles from a single piece of content. This approach helps extend the life of valuable content through multiple channels.

- Marketing Email Automation: Without a perfect all-in-one AI marketing platform, the team uses sales tools like Qualified to send personalized marketing emails. These tools can pull information from a prospect's website behavior and company details to create one-to-one emails that achieve high open rates. This approach demonstrates the convergence of sales and marketing functions.

- AI Doesn't Enable Lazy Marketing: Despite having 20+ agents in production, the tools don't fully automate everything. They require human orchestration to produce quality outputs. As Jason emphasizes, "These tools do not enable lazy marketing. What they enable is better marketing and much more of it." Users still need to invest 20-30 minutes daily to direct the AI effectively.

- Convergence of Go-to-Market Functions: AI is blurring the lines between sales, marketing, and support. Tools nominally designed for one function can be effectively "hacked" for others. This convergence will likely continue, with future tools being less siloed and more integrated across the entire customer journey.

- The Future of Marketing Personalization: The team envisions a future where newsletters and drip campaigns are completely personalized for each recipient based on their interests and previous interactions. While current tools have limitations, AI will eventually enable "a million different newsletters, not three different newsletters" as Jason describes, resulting in higher response rates.

- Multiple AI Agents Can Collaborate: Despite using many specialized tools, the SaaStr team finds that having multiple AI agents is still better than poor human coordination. Their agents can refer users to each other and maintain conversation context, creating a more seamless experience than being transferred between multiple human representatives.

- AI Support as Lead Generation: Support AI can serve as an effective lead capture tool. Companies without AI support miss opportunities to engage prospects and bring them into the customer journey. Even basic AI support agents can improve customer experience while generating leads.

- Quality Over Automation: For B2B marketing content, quality is essential. The team emphasizes that while AI can automate up to 95% of what used to require a full team, human oversight remains crucial to ensure high-quality, non-generic outputs that align with business goals.

Cass Sunstein on Liberalism and Rights in the Age of AI

Conversations with Tyler

<answer>
Liberalism's Vulnerability: Cass Sunstein believes liberalism is not self-undermining but lacks mechanisms for self-perpetuation. The challenge comes not from liberalism's internal contradictions but from illiberal forces in the human heart that can override liberal commitments. While liberalism encourages norms of cooperation and mutual support, these can be undermined by external forces.

Immigration and Liberal Values: Sunstein acknowledges that immigration presents complex challenges for liberal societies. He advocates for "lawful pathways" that benefit both immigrants and host countries, while also supporting reasonable measures to prevent unlawful entry. He emphasizes that enforcement doesn't necessarily require brutality, though he recognizes the tragic trade-offs that sometimes occur in immigration policy.

The Future of Liberal Thought: When asked about the next generation of liberal thinkers under 50, Sunstein suggests that economists rather than philosophers may be carrying the torch of liberalism forward. He identifies figures like John List, Esther Duflo, and Sendhil Mullainathan as important contemporary liberal thinkers, though notes that philosophers may currently be focusing on different issues.

Hayek and Mises in Liberal Thought: Sunstein appreciates Ludwig Mises for his "cranky, ill-tempered, elbows out enthusiasm for freedom" and considers Hayek's "Road to Serfdom" one of the greatest books of the last 200 years, despite disagreeing with its central thesis that government regulation inevitably leads to totalitarianism. He notes that many of Hayek's individual claims remain valid and beautifully articulated.

Woke Politics and Liberalism: Sunstein traces some aspects of "woke" politics back to John Stuart Mill's "The Subjection of Women," suggesting that legitimate liberal insights about subordination can sometimes lead to illiberalism in the form of finger-wagging, shaming, and failure to respect differing viewpoints. The problem isn't with the core insights but with how they're sometimes implemented.

AI and First Amendment Rights: On whether AI should have free speech protections, Sunstein argues that AI itself doesn't have rights (comparing it to a toaster or vacuum cleaner), but humans interacting with AI do have rights. Government restrictions on what people can ask AI would violate human free speech rights, just as restrictions on what books people can read would.

Manipulation and Rights: Sunstein advocates for establishing a new "right not to be manipulated," comparable to how the right to privacy emerged at the turn of the 20th century. He distinguishes manipulation from falsehood, focusing on tactics that prevent people from using their reflective capacities. Such protections would focus initially on egregious cases where people lose money or time without adequate clarity.

Liberalism and Bob Dylan: Sunstein sees Bob Dylan as embodying liberal values through his emphasis on self-invention, freedom, and resistance to routine. Dylan's line "he not busy being born is busy dying" captures a central liberal insight about personal growth and freedom, while songs like "Like a Rolling Stone" celebrate the liberty of being "on your own with no direction home."

Animal Rights and Personal Projects: Sunstein discussed his current work on animal rights, a topic he had previously self-silenced on after facing ridicule and death threats. His forthcoming book "Animals Matter" proposes a bill of rights for animals and represents a return to an issue he cares deeply about after years of avoidance.

How to Disagree Productively: Sunstein is working on a project about how to disagree productively, emphasizing principles like characterizing others' arguments in ways they would recognize, indicating what you've learned from them, and acknowledging points of agreement with those you're criticizing. He aims to identify forms of disagreement that lead to friendship and truth versus those that lead to rage.

MacroVoices #508 Laskhman Achuthan: Inflation Cycles Amid Regime Change

Macro Voices

<answer>
Navigating Regime Change with Cycle Analysis: Economic cycles remain valuable for understanding market direction even during periods of major political and economic change. Despite Trump and Besant's attempts to "rearchitect the global financial system," ECRI's cycle indicators have historically maintained their predictive power through numerous regime changes including the Panic of 1907, end of Bretton Woods, and post-COVID stimulus periods.

Current Economic Outlook Remains "Goldilocks": ECRI's indicators point to continued economic resilience with growth firming rather than stalling, while inflation pressures are still fading. This "Goldilocks phase" features balanced economic brightening where both cyclical signals and broader investment data (particularly around AI) are aligned positively.

K-shaped Consumption Pattern: The economy is increasingly dependent on the top 10% of consumers who are "spending freely" due to rising wealth and strong balance sheets. Meanwhile, the median household faces slower earnings growth and credit stress. This widening gap between upper and lower segments creates economic fragility beneath seemingly strong overall numbers.

Inflation Dynamics: While tariffs are pushing core goods inflation up (from -2% to approaching +2%), shelter costs and services less shelter are trending down. The overall inflation picture remains contained because the majority of consumers "can't afford higher prices" which prevents broad inflation from gaining traction.

AI Investment Parallels to Dot-Com Bubble: Current AI enthusiasm shares similarities with the late 1990s dot-com boom, where the core technology thesis was correct but investments were overextended. While AI is genuinely transformative, misallocation of capital (like excessive data center capacity) could eventually trigger a correction. However, cycle indicators don't yet signal this downturn is imminent.

Energy Constraints on AI Growth: The exponential growth of AI will require massive increases in energy consumption that may not be immediately serviceable. This energy bottleneck could potentially drive inflation longer-term, though ECRI's near-term inflation gauges remain benign across major economies.

Market Outlook and Risk Assessment: The recent market correction (now at 6% from peak) may represent a buying opportunity if the AI narrative remains intact. While current cycle data supports continued market resilience, there's meaningful "left tail risk" due to AI bubble dynamics. Fund managers are likely de-risking to protect their strong 2025 performance heading into year-end.

Inflation Cycle's Impact on Interest Rates: The contained inflation outlook suggests no strong reason for a hawkish Fed. While the short end of the yield curve has room to move lower with increased dovishness, the long end remains "sticky" due to structural concerns about future inflation.

Industrial Materials Price Trends: The ECRI's Journal of Commerce Industrial Materials Price Index is showing increasing breadth to the upside, suggesting one driver of inflation could gain traction in coming quarters. This could eventually pull oil prices higher despite their current weakness.

Market Strategy for Current Conditions: With the cycle work showing continued resilience but significant downside risk from an AI bubble unwind, a risk-managed approach using options strategies may be appropriate. This allows investors to stay aligned with the positive macro outlook while protecting against potential volatility shocks.

Campbell's LEAKED Racist Tape, Burry vs NVIDIA, Gemini CRUSHES ChatGPT + AI PAC Goes To DC | PBD Podcast | Ep. 691

PBD Podcast

<answer>
Campbell Soup Executive Calls Own Product "Sh*t for Poor People": A secretly recorded video shows Campbell Soup's vice president and chief information security officer Martin Bailey making disparaging comments about the company's products, calling them unhealthy and for poor people. The recording was made by Robert Garza, a former cybersecurity analyst, who filed a lawsuit claiming Bailey also made racist comments about Indian coworkers. The panel discusses how Campbell's should handle this PR crisis, noting the high sodium content in their products (about 600mg per can, or 25% of daily recommended intake).

Google's Gemini 3 Challenging ChatGPT's AI Dominance: Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff tweeted that Google's Gemini 3 has surpassed ChatGPT, claiming he won't go back to OpenAI's product. The panel tested Gemini against ChatGPT and Perplexity, finding Gemini notably faster in response time. Market share data shows OpenAI's dominance declining while Gemini gains ground. Tom Ellsworth noted that while current applications focus on analytical searches, the real battle is about which AI will power the agents inside business software platforms.

Michael Burry Criticizes Nvidia's Accounting Practices: Investor Michael Burry, known for predicting the 2008 housing crisis, accused Nvidia of questionable accounting practices, particularly around depreciating AI chips over 5-6 years when they allegedly burn out in 2-3 years. Burry claims this understates costs by roughly $176 billion through 2028. Nvidia pushed back, sending a memo to Wall Street analysts defending its practices and pointing to its strong free cash flow. The panel contrasted Burry's criticism with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's long-term vision for the company.

Insurance Companies Hesitant to Cover AI Errors: Many insurance providers are adding exclusions in their policies for losses caused by AI systems. The issue stems from insurers' inability to properly underwrite AI risk due to lack of historical data on AI errors, unlike human errors which have decades of actuarial data. AI can make mistakes at scale and at much higher speeds than humans, creating potentially catastrophic risk scenarios that are difficult to price. As one example, Air Canada faced issues when its customer service chatbot began offering unauthorized discounts.

AI Super PAC Pushing for Federal Regulation: A new AI industry-backed Super PAC has launched a $10 million campaign to advocate for uniform national AI policy rather than a patchwork of state regulations. The panel expressed skepticism about the initiative, suggesting it primarily serves industry interests by reducing compliance costs and centralizing lobbying efforts. The hosts compared it to other industries like pharmaceuticals that have used regulatory frameworks to protect themselves from liability and competition.

Trump's Economic Record and Policy Victories: A Barron's article highlighted ten positive aspects of Trump's economic policy impact, including strengthening European defense spending, incentivizing capital expenditure, deregulation, and border security initiatives. Tom Ellsworth noted that inflation didn't spike as predicted after tariffs were implemented on April 1st. Brandon disagreed about inflation being under control, sharing charts showing continued high prices for food, housing, energy, and vehicles despite official inflation numbers moderating.

Florida Governor DeSantis Proposes Eliminating Property Taxes: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis proposed eliminating property taxes for homesteads in Florida, arguing people should fully own their homes without "paying rent to the government." The panel discussed how this might be funded (possibly through increased tourism taxes), its impact on the housing market, and whether it would attract more people to Florida. They speculated this could be positioning for DeSantis's political future, potentially as a cabinet member in the Trump administration or for a 2028 presidential run.

Homeowners Insurance Costs Expected to Increase Nationwide: Homeowners insurance premiums are projected to rise 8% in both 2026 and 2027 due to increased natural disasters and higher rebuilding costs. Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska have the highest insurance costs, while Vermont has the lowest. The panel discussed how insurance rates reflect real risks and costs, with Brandon noting the high prices of building materials and shortage of skilled trades contributing to the problem. Patrick defended the insurance industry, arguing that while easy to criticize, insurance provides critical protection for families.

College Graduates No Longer Finding Jobs Faster Than High School Graduates: According to a Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland report, college graduates are no longer finding jobs faster than those with only high school diplomas. The unemployment rate for 20-24 year olds has reached 9.2%, up 2.2% from the previous year. Tom suggested this is partly because too many students are pursuing liberal arts degrees without clear job prospects, while Brandon recommended young people pursue either STEM fields or trades, noting there are shortages of hundreds of thousands of plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians.

The Importance of Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills: The hosts discussed what employers like McKinsey value in candidates beyond degrees: high SAT scores, the ability to solve math problems and case studies under pressure, and leadership experience in non-business activities like military or public service. Patrick emphasized the importance of parents helping children develop critical thinking by asking them case study-type questions about everyday situations to build analytical skills that will serve them throughout their careers.

- Nvidia's Response to Competition: Nvidia has claimed its GPUs are a "generation ahead" of Google's AI chips. The company stated that while they are "delighted by Google's success," Nvidia remains the only platform that can run every AI model across all computing environments.

- TPUs vs. GPUs: Architectural Differences: Google's TPUs are ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) chips designed specifically for training AI models, while Nvidia's GPUs are more general-purpose. Some analysts, including Chamath Palihapitiya, believe TPUs have a better architecture specifically for AI tasks.

- Nvidia's Competitive Advantage: Beyond just chip performance, Nvidia offers comprehensive infrastructure and software platforms that many companies rely on for training models. Their Blackwell chips are more flexible and can be used for various applications beyond AI, reflecting Nvidia's history serving gaming, crypto mining, and now AI markets.

- Google's Success with TPUs: Google's latest Gemini 3 model was trained exclusively on TPUs rather than Nvidia GPUs, demonstrating the viability of alternative chip solutions. However, Google maintains it uses both TPUs and Nvidia GPUs, noting they're experiencing "accelerated demand" for both technologies.

- Scaling Laws and Future Demand: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted that "scaling laws" in AI development suggest that using more chips leads to more powerful AI models. This principle could drive continued demand for high-performance chips, potentially benefiting Nvidia's business model as AI models continue to grow in size and complexity.

7 Good Minutes: Extra - The first hour of work is...

7 Good Minutes

<answer>
The First Hour as Architectural Blueprint: The opening hour of your workday functions like an architect designing a structure—it creates the foundation and blueprint for everything that follows. How you begin establishes the pattern for your entire day, making this first hour critically important.

Intentional Design vs. Reactive Pattern: Starting your day with scattered attention (checking emails, social media, responding to urgent requests) designs a day of reactivity and fragmentation. Conversely, beginning with purposeful focus on meaningful work establishes a day built on intention and productivity.

Control Over Your Workday: While you can't control every interruption or urgent request, you absolutely can control how you begin your day. This initial hour gives you the power to set the tone—whether for chaos or clarity, reaction or intention.

Self-Reflection for Improvement: Consider what your perfect first work hour would look like, what you would focus on, and how that focus would positively influence the remainder of your day. This reflection helps design more productive workdays.

Daily Affirmation for Intentional Work: "I am the conscious architect of my workday, designing each hour with intention and purpose." This mindset reinforces the importance of making deliberate choices about how you structure your time from the very beginning.

Momentic Raises $15M to Modernize Test Case Generation

Hard Fork AI

<answer>
- Momentiq's $15M Series A Funding: Momentiq, an AI-powered software testing company, has raised $15 million in Series A funding led by Standard Capital, with participation from Dropbox Ventures, Y Combinator, fcvc, Transpose Platform, and Karman Ventures. This builds on their previous $3.7 million seed round, bringing their total funding to nearly $19 million.

- Solving a Universal Pain Point: Software testing is a critical but often challenging aspect of development. Momentiq's co-founder Woo stated that "testing has been the biggest pain point for every team I've ever worked with." The company aims to simplify and automate this process, allowing developers to describe critical user flows in plain English and have AI automate the testing.

- Impressive User Base and Scale: Momentiq has already attracted over 2,600 users including notable companies like Notion, Zero Built, Webflow, and Retool. In the past month alone, they automated more than 200 million test steps, demonstrating the scalability of their solution.

- Technology Approach: The platform leverages AI with computer vision capabilities to automate testing, similar to how humans would interact with software - taking screenshots, clicking elements, and analyzing responses. This approach allows for more thorough testing than traditional manual methods.

- Competition from Foundation Models: Momentiq's biggest competition may come from foundation models themselves, as companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are developing similar capabilities built directly into their models. This presents a potential challenge for specialized tools like Momentiq.

- Expansion Plans: With the new funding, Momentiq recently launched support for mobile environments in August and plans to build more capable use case management as they hire additional engineers.

- Growing Importance for No-Code Developers: As AI-assisted coding becomes more prevalent, tools that can verify code quality and security become increasingly valuable, especially for non-developers who may not recognize security vulnerabilities or poor code architecture.

How to Approach Thanksgiving - Episode 2728

Fitness Confidential with Vinnie Tortorich

Fitness Confidential

<answer>
- Thanksgiving Approach Depends on Your Journey: Vinnie suggests two strategies for handling Thanksgiving meals. For those who are metabolically flexible and have been following NSNG (No Sugar, No Grains) for a while, it's okay to enjoy the holiday meal with stuffing, casseroles, and desserts - just don't take leftovers home and get back on track immediately after. For those just starting their health journey, especially "sugarholics," it's better to stick to clean eating through the holidays, focusing on proteins like turkey or rib roast while avoiding the sugary, starchy sides.

- Air Quality Impacts Overall Health: Vinnie discusses the Jasper air scrubber he's been using, noting how it effectively removes odors and pollutants from the air. He explains that clean air is just as important as clean food for overall health, as your lungs constantly process the air you breathe. The product not only improved his air quality but also kept his rowing machine's impellers dust-free, demonstrating its effectiveness.

- High-Fat Diet Benefits for Brain Health: Recent studies confirm what Vinnie has been advocating for years - high-fat diets help keep the brain young and may decrease the risk of Alzheimer's. Vinnie mentions Dr. Mary Newport's work and shares his personal experience of adding coconut oil to espresso before workouts for increased energy through medium-chain triglycerides.

- Lean Beef Vindication: New research confirms that lean beef as part of a healthy diet doesn't increase heart disease risk, supporting what Vinnie and Nina Teicholz have been saying for years. Meat provides essential nutrients like creatine and protein that the body needs, contradicting longstanding anti-meat messaging.

- The Fallacy of "Exercise Pills": Vinnie strongly criticizes a new pill called "Azella Prague" that claims to mimic exercise effects by activating the apelin receptor. While designed initially for people in comas or bedridden patients to prevent muscle loss, it's being marketed as an "exercise in a pill." Vinnie warns that there will inevitably be significant side effects, citing Dr. Drew's wisdom that "there is no free lunch in nature."

- Real Exercise Provides Benefits Beyond Muscle: Rather than seeking pharmaceutical shortcuts, Vinnie emphasizes the mental and emotional benefits of actual exercise that can't be replicated with a pill. Going to the gym, rowing, skating, or cycling provides a "mental massage" that helps clear the brain and manage stress - benefits that extend far beyond the physical.

- Weight Loss Requires Habit Change: Using his brother (who takes GLP-1 medications but still gains weight) and Scott King (who regained weight after gastric bypass) as examples, Vinnie emphasizes that sustainable weight management requires changing habits, not just taking drugs. Without addressing underlying behaviors, any intervention - whether medication or surgery - will ultimately fail.

Vacation rentals in a spin: Outlining trends, changes and the future of short-term rentals

In Phocus

<answer>
- Industry Consolidation Driven by Guest Expectations: The vacation rental industry is experiencing consolidation as guests demand more consistency and standardization, similar to what they expect from hotels. This professionalization helps spread operational excellence across the board, leading to better guest experiences and elevated service standards.

- Reducing Travel Anxiety Through Professional Management: Travelers increasingly seek peace of mind when booking vacation rentals. They want assurance that if something goes wrong (like a lock not working), there's a professional they can contact for immediate assistance, especially since vacation rentals often involve group travel with "higher pain points" than standard hotel stays.

- Distribution Challenges for Independent Operators: Small operators face distribution challenges in the market. While many property managers aim to drive direct bookings to avoid third-party intermediaries, they still need to maintain visibility on major platforms like Airbnb for comprehensive distribution, making them somewhat dependent on these channels.

- Guest Experience as a Competitive Advantage: While major platforms dominate the discovery and search phase of booking, property managers can differentiate themselves through the quality of the actual stay experience. The pre-arrival to post-stay experience offers opportunities for smaller players to build direct relationships with guests and encourage repeat bookings.

- Hotels and Vacation Rentals Becoming Compatible Options: The industry is moving toward a hybrid model where vacation rentals and hotels serve different traveler needs. Hotels are preferred for business travel, while vacation rentals offer better value for groups and families. Major platforms like Airbnb adding hotel inventory and hotel chains incorporating STR options demonstrates this convergence.

- Expanding Beyond Accommodations: Major platforms are growing not just by diversifying inventory types but by combining stays with experiences. Companies like Airbnb, Marriott, Expedia, and Booking.com are moving beyond just providing accommodation to offer more comprehensive travel experiences.

- AI Addressing Industry Fragmentation: A significant challenge in the industry is the fragmentation of systems and tools coupled with manual processes. AI is being deployed to unify these fragmented systems, automate operational tasks, and improve guest experiences by handling everything from communications to pricing and inventory management.

Side Stories: Dig Me A Grave w/ Dick Harpootlian

Last Podcast On The Left

<answer>
A Brief Thanksgiving Break: Henry and Ed announce they're taking a lighter approach for the Thanksgiving episode, saving major news stories like Delphi murders and Morgan Geyser's escape for more detailed coverage the following week.

Morgan Geyser Case Update: One of the Slenderman stabbers, Morgan Geyser, recently escaped from her halfway home with help from a "victim advocate." She was quickly recaptured, but the hosts express concern about her release from secure facilities given her continued claims of communicating with Slenderman.

Pee Wee Gaskins Interview: The main segment features Ed Larson interviewing Dick Harpootlian, former South Carolina senator and prosecutor, about his upcoming book "Dig Me a Grave" detailing his prosecution of serial killer Pee Wee Gaskins.

Gaskins' Prison Murder: Harpootlian describes how Gaskins, while serving multiple life sentences, murdered death row inmate Rudolph Tyner by smuggling C4 explosive into prison and disguising it as an intercom device that exploded when plugged in.

Personal Vendetta: Gaskins attempted to have Harpootlian's four-year-old daughter kidnapped shortly before his execution, forcing the prosecutor's family to live under armed protection for two weeks.

Capital Punishment Perspective: As a senator, Harpootlian advocated for bringing back firing squads as a more humane alternative to the electric chair, explaining that execution by firing squad is quick and relatively painless compared to electrocution.

Alex Murdaugh Defense: Harpootlian reveals his connection to the Murdaugh family and discusses his role defending Alex Murdaugh. He maintains Murdaugh's innocence in the murders of his wife and son, citing evidence inconsistencies and believing they'll win an appeal for a new trial.

Legal Ethics Philosophy: Harpootlian explains his perspective on legal ethics, noting that defense attorneys have a duty to represent clients within ethical boundaries regardless of guilt, while prosecutors must ensure justice is done without hiding evidence or knowingly using false testimony.

Dankrad Feist: Why Ethereum Needs a Wartime Mentality (And Why He Left the EF)

The Rollup

<answer>
From Ethereum Foundation to Tempo: Dankrad's Transition: Dankrad Feist left the Ethereum Foundation to join Tempo, which focuses on stablecoin payments. He saw an opportunity to make blockchain technology touch billions of people's lives through payments, an area he believes the blockchain ecosystem has somewhat ignored despite its importance.

Stablecoin Payments Strategy: While many stablecoin chains are launching their own tokens, Tempo is taking a stablecoin-neutral approach, supporting all stablecoins rather than creating its own. Dankrad believes success in this space will be determined by distribution - working with partners who have real payment pain points.

Fusaka Upgrade and Data Availability: The upcoming Fusaka upgrade will implement PeerDAS (Data Availability Sampling), allowing nodes to verify data availability without processing all the data. This breakthrough enables Ethereum to scale significantly, supporting more data for L2 rollups at lower costs while maintaining security against data withholding attacks.

Ethereum's Technical Roadmap: The plan includes scaling Ethereum L1 by 10x in the next two years through engineering optimizations. In the longer term, Ethereum will essentially become a rollup itself, using ZK-EVMs for verification and the same data availability layer that L2s currently use.

The Three Types of Finality Issues: Dankrad identifies three distinct issues that need addressing: time to pre-confirmation (affects UX), time to inclusion especially for contentious transactions (affects economics), and time to finality (crucial for L2s and institutions). He expects Ethereum to achieve 6-second block times next year, improving all three metrics.

Technical Bottlenecks: Ethereum's peer-to-peer layer hasn't been optimized for its specific use case, despite being the largest user of LibP2P. Additionally, the massive validator set (tracking over a million logical validators while having only 10,000-15,000 actual nodes) creates significant technical challenges.

ZK-EVM Roadmap Debate: Rather than selecting a single ZK-EVM implementation for Ethereum's scaling plans, the current approach favors having multiple implementations with a "2-out-of-3" or similar consensus model. While some advocate for complete user choice, Dankrad personally leans toward making a more definitive selection once the technology matures.

Stage Zero Rollups Concerns: Many leading L2s remain at Stage Zero (centralized), largely because building secure bridges is extremely difficult. Dankrad notes that this primarily matters for bridged ETH, as other assets are increasingly being issued natively across chains. He believes Stage Zero rollups should move to Stage One next year.

Ethereum in "Wartime Mode": Dankrad believes Ethereum has started shifting to a more urgent, execution-focused mindset, but he thinks it's not enough. His personal view is that Ethereum needs to do even more to remain competitive, though there's pushback against this perspective.

Return to Fundamentals: Dankrad has always considered himself focused on fundamentals and feels more comfortable in the current environment that emphasizes building practical solutions that address real problems rather than speculative applications.

1061: Week 13 Sleepers

The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast

<answer>
- Quarterback Options for Week 13: Jordan Love is in a good bounce-back spot against the Lions, who rank as the 10th best matchup for quarterbacks. Daniel Jones has been a top-5 option in four of his last five games and faces a favorable Patriots defense. Jacoby Brissette remains a strong play as he's delivered QB1 performances in all six of his starts this year.

- Running Back Sleepers: Woody Marks has seen a 77% running back rush share over his last three games. Kymani Vidal is worth considering if Amarian Hampton remains out. Kenneth Gainwell offers flex potential against the Bills' weak run defense. Devin Neal could see significant volume with Alvin Kamara likely out.

- Wide Receiver Value Plays: Quentin Johnston has been running consistent routes for the Chargers and gets a favorable Raiders matchup. Troy Franklin has seen at least 8 targets in each of his last five games. Christian Watson's target share has been rising weekly since his return from injury. Jaden Higgins posted a season-high 32% target share last week.

- Tight End Streaming Options: Juwan Johnson has hit 10+ PPR points in five straight games and faces the Dolphins, the third-best matchup for tight ends. Theo Johnson is averaging a 19% target share since Malik Neighbors' injury. Dalton Schultz has three top-8 tight end performances in his last four games. Mike Gesicki could benefit against Baltimore, who struggles against slot receivers.

- Deep League Considerations: Blake Corum could see increased opportunities if the Rams get ahead against Carolina. Pat Bryant has a favorable matchup against Washington, who has given up the second-most fantasy points to slot receivers. Isaiah Likely, despite recent struggles, has maintained decent target shares and faces Cincinnati, which has allowed the most adjusted points to tight ends.

- Defensive Streamers: Top options include the Chargers, 49ers (vs. Cleveland), Tampa Bay (vs. Arizona), Arizona (vs. Tampa Bay), and Miami (vs. New Orleans).

Best of the Pod: Would You Shut Down Your Most Successful Product? The Arc to Dia Story

AI and I

AI & I

<answer>
• The Arc to Dia Pivot: The Browser Company made the difficult decision to pivot from their successful browser Arc (with millions of users) to build Dia, an AI-focused browser. The decision came after Josh Miller and Hursh Agrawal realized that AI was fundamentally changing how people interact with computers, requiring a complete rebuild rather than simply adding AI features to Arc.

• The Vision of a Personal Intelligence Layer: Hursh recognized early that the real opportunity wasn't just building a better browser, but creating a "personal intelligence layer" that sits across all devices. This intelligence would intercept queries, remember context, and become increasingly personal and helpful - with the browser serving as merely the enabling technology underneath.

• The Cost of Starting Over: The team faced significant challenges during the transition year, including negative public reaction, employee concerns, and personal stress. Josh described it as "a year of constant doubt and ups and downs" with both founders experiencing "waking up every morning with a pit in my stomach."

• Learning from Arc Search: A small mobile experiment called Arc Search provided key insights that influenced Dia. It showed that: 1) AI could fundamentally change the intent/search portion of browsing, 2) keeping products extremely simple and focused resonated better with users, and 3) the browser could be reimagined as more than just a link-following tool.

• Building a Faster Browser from Scratch: For Dia, the team rebuilt the entire browser architecture using Swift with structured concurrency, addressing performance issues that had plagued Arc. This architectural clean slate allowed them to make a browser that was fast enough to serve as a default daily driver while supporting AI features.

• The Memory Breakthrough: One of Dia's key features - memory that allows the browser to learn from your browsing and get more helpful over time - was almost abandoned after nine months of unsuccessful development. Six weeks before launch, the team tried a different approach, and it worked, demonstrating how rapidly AI capabilities were improving.

• Custom Skills as the Surprise Hit: What was meant to be a minor feature added just before launch - allowing users to create simple customized AI "skills" - became unexpectedly popular. This validated Josh's insight that AI enables a new class of software where users can create niche tools for their specific needs rather than developers building one-size-fits-all solutions.

• A Different Approach to AI: While many AI companies focus on technological benchmarks and task automation, The Browser Company emphasizes emotional intelligence and personal connection. Josh believes that the AI interface that wins will be "the one that people feel the deepest affinity and value from" - comparing it to how people develop attachments to well-worn personal items.

• Drawing Inspiration from Romanticism: The team finds inspiration in the 19th century Romanticism movement, which valued subjective experience over pure rationalism. This approach aligns with language models as a "romantic-coded technology" that can't be reduced to simple rules and must be worked with on "vibes."

• Competing Through Authenticity: When asked about competing with larger companies, Josh emphasized focusing on their unique perspective and sensibility rather than traditional moats: "Vibes is the moat and you'll figure out the rest." He believes that by staying true to their vision and creative process, they'll continue to build something distinctive regardless of competition.

• The Journey as a Lesson in Self-Trust: Despite the hardships, both founders view the experience as a valuable lesson in trusting their instincts. Josh reflected that no matter what happens next, the pivot taught him that what they "felt in our bones was correct," building confidence for future challenges.
