Why do we accept certain ideas as facts without ever questioning where they came from? In Episode 104 of The FAFO Podcast, I sit down with award-winning investigative journalist, bestselling author, and Uningrained founder Steve Hendershot to talk about challenging conventional thinking, uncovering hidden stories, and the importance of asking questions. From the surprising history of baseball and softball to the dangers of blindly trusting data, we explore investigative journalism, independent media, and what it takes to uncover the truth. We even get into the legendary video game Street Fighter! Check out Steve's podcast: https://www.uningrained.com/ The FAFO Podcast — Facts. Truth.

Everybody's talking about how artificial intelligence is going to revolutionize business. Automate everything, increase productivity, save money, and make your company run like a well-oiled machine. But what happens when your business is already a mess? Does AI actually fix the problems, or does it just help you screw things up faster? In Episode 103 of The FAFO Podcast, I sit down with Lukas Lanx, founder of Leadflow Consulting, to talk about the reality behind the AI revolution and why throwing technology at a broken business isn't necessarily the answer. Lukas has seen firsthand what happens when companies invest in expensive solutions without understanding the problems they're trying to solve. He even found himself arguing against a €42,000 deal because he didn't believe it was the right move for the client. Now THAT'S a conversation worth having! We get into artificial intelligence, business automation, entrepreneurship, the mistakes companies make when adopting new technology, and why understanding your business is far more important than chasing the latest shiny AI tool. Whether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or just trying to figure out how AI fits into your professional life, this episode offers a different perspective on a technology everybody seems to have an opinion about. Because sometimes the smartest investment you can make isn't another piece of software. It's figuring out what the hell you're actually trying to fix!

What does it take to create an entire fantasy world, fill it with unforgettable characters, and keep the story going across seven books? In this episode of The FAFO Podcast, I sit down with fantasy author Dawn Ross, creator of the StarFire Dragons series, to talk about the imagination, creativity, and occasional insanity that go into writing fantasy fiction. As a fellow author, I know that creating a fictional world is only the beginning. Keeping your characters believable, maintaining continuity, and making sure the story doesn't fall apart somewhere along the way can be a whole different adventure. Dawn and I get into worldbuilding, character development, writing a continuing series, the challenges of publishing, and what happens when the characters you've created decide they have their own damn plans. We also talk about the writing process, overcoming creative challenges, and the satisfaction of taking an idea that once existed only in your imagination and turning it into something readers can experience. If you love fantasy, dragons, storytelling, or you've ever thought about writing a book yourself, this is a conversation you'll enjoy! Website: https://dawnrossauthor.com/ The FAFO Podcast — Facts.
