    en-usNovember 03, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • Simplifying home projects with Angie's platform and digital toolsAngie's platform streamlines home project hiring with 20 years of experience and new digital tools, while AI and CRISPR technology in agriculture boost food production without fertilizers

      Angie's platform simplifies the process of finding and hiring skilled professionals for home projects, making it easier for homeowners to maintain their homes and complete dream projects. Angie's 20 years of home service experience combined with new digital tools enable users to bring their projects online or use the Angie app, answer a few questions, and have Angie handle the rest from start to finish. Alternatively, users can compare quotes from multiple pros and connect instantly. On the other hand, in the realm of agriculture, Bayer is using artificial intelligence and CRISPR technology to increase food production without fertilizers, putting digital tools in the hands of farmers to maximize yield on a hotter and more crowded planet. These advancements are just a few examples of the important developments in technology being discussed in the Tools and Weapons podcast, where listeners can gain insights from industry leaders.

    • Exploring the intricacies of voices and emotionsAcclaimed writer, director, and actress Lake Bell's new audiobook delves into the physiology, psychology, social science, and cultural aspects of voice, offering insights into self-acceptance and identity through expert interviews and personal experiences.

      Acclaimed writer, director, and actress Lake Bell's new audiobook, Inside Voice, explores the intricacies of our voices and the emotions attached to them. Most people don't like the way they sound, but our voice is a significant part of our identity. Bell delves into the physiology, psychology, social science, and cultural aspects of voice through interviews with experts and famous voices. The audiobook is a unique exploration of self-acceptance and identity, and its smart, surprising, and funny nature is sure to appeal to listeners. Bell's own discomfort with her voice and the reactions of those she encounters highlights the universal experience of self-consciousness regarding our voices. Inside Voice offers a safe space for insight and acceptance, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique voices and the stories they tell.

    • Encouraging Women to Use Their Authentic VoicesWomen should trust and empower each other to use their unique voices in public power situations, not limiting ourselves to masculine tones. Angie's platform simplifies home projects to ensure quality work.

      Women have historically been encouraged to adopt a more masculine tone when accessing public power, but this is not justifiable and limiting. We all have the ability to exercise and develop our voices, just like working out muscles at the ballet bar. This includes playing games and having fun, but also delving into the serious business of voice. Trusting and empowering each other is essential to reclaiming the American dream and affirming our unity as a diverse society. Additionally, Angie's platform makes it easier than ever to find and connect with skilled professionals for home projects, simplifying the process and ensuring quality work.

    • Managing Home Projects with Angie's List and Paint CareAngie's List simplifies home project management by connecting users with multiple professionals and offering smart painting practices through Paint Care to minimize waste and save money.

      Angie's List is a helpful tool for managing various home projects, allowing users to compare quotes from multiple professionals and connect instantly. Angie's List simplifies the process of handling home improvement tasks. Additionally, Angie's List, in partnership with Paint Care, promotes smart painting practices to reduce waste. Their three simple rules for painting include buying only what you need, using up what you already have, and recycling the remaining paint at local drop-off sites. By following these guidelines, homeowners can minimize their environmental footprint and save money. To get started, download the Angie's List mobile app or visit angie.com.
