In this special data-driven edition of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence is joined by Dr. Brent Myers, chief medical officer, ESO, and Dr. Remle Crowe, ESO's director of clinical and operational research, to unpack the newly released 2025 ESO EMS Index. This annual report provides a powerful, real-world snapshot of national EMS trends — drawing on more than 14 million anonymized records to surface opportunities for clinical and operational improvement. The conversation dives into key metrics that move beyond response times and into areas like pain management, opioid overdoses, airway confirmation, obstetric emergencies, whole blood use, pediatric behavioral health and high-utilization patient populations. Throughout the episode, Drs. Myers and Crowe share the motivation behind each metric, explain how the data was gathered and analyzed, and reflect on how EMS agencies can use these insights to guide better care delivery and system design. From confronting equity in pain management, to pushing forward innovations like buprenorphine administration and whole blood programs, this is a compelling call to turn data into meaningful change.

Saurav started a Groupon-like offering for SMBs in 2011. He quickly learned it wasn't going to work. He and his team pivoted and started driving leads to suppliers using Facebook ads. It worked and they generated revenue—but they were becoming a digital advertising agency. It wasn't at all what they wanted to build.So they pivoted again. They used the cash from that business and built Perkbox. The idea was a subscription-based offering that that gave perks to SMB customers. Telcos started buying it and attaching it to their products to drive sales. Then, they pivoted again, this time moving away from customer perks and to employee perks.This time, it worked. They grew from $2M in ARR to $14M in just 2 years. They kept growing and hit $36M in ARR. Then he sold the business to PE for $170M.It took longer than expected. There were more pivots than expected.

This isn't trueAdrenal insufficiency syndrome is real, but it's not related to exercise or coffee. This is a medical condition that's different from the normal stress-response system of your body3 categories of brain areas communicate with the adrenals to release adrenaline:* Cognitive areas: Involved in thinking and decision-making* Affective areas: Linked to emotions and how you perceive and react to the environment* Motor areas: Control your body movement. These areas in the cerebral cortex send signals to the spinal cord, which then triggers the release of acetylcholine to activate the adrenal medulla The Technological Republic – Palantir CEO Alex Karp & Stanley Druckenmiller In Conversation Talented people want to be around other talented people: If you are starting a team that already consists of immensely talented people, then other A-players will want to join; this dynamic positively compounds with time and becomes reflexiveThe type of person you want to hire: A truth-seeking, justice-seeking, fairness fanatic, who is justifiably snobby about their intellect (but not because of where they went to school) and who pushes responsibility into their area of expertise and takes over – and who, at the margin, may be unusual and difficultThe moral and ethical conundrums of modern warfare: The West is at technological parity with its adversaries, but not morally; our adversaries are far more willing to send their young men and women to die on the battlefield than we areOn AI Accelerationism – The US military does not have a choice regarding AI accelerationism; its adversaries will not slow down AI progress, and therefore, the game theory is such that the US cannot slow down eitherLaw School Sucks: “I thought of it as moral sophistry in the service of prestige.”Go Woke, Go Broke: “The Valley has realized that you just cannot placate the anti-intellectual left. It will destroy your business.” – Alex Karp* Basic things that most sane believe in are fairness, meritocracy, inputs being even across society, and that the outputs will not be evenly distributed* “Our society is crying for things that work. The instruments of measurement have been corroded everywhere.” – Alex KarpThe Left Broke Everything: People are sick of their border not being a border, their United Nations not being united, their schools not functioning as schools, and their government only taking inflows but not creating productive outflowsAn Essentialism Future: Every institution must clearly define its purpose, be transparent in what it spends to reach its objectives, and measure its output – which should be greater than its input Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Ukraine, War, Peace, Putin, Trump, NATO, and Freedom | Lex Fridman Podcast (#456) Peace Through Strength: " “I think that we share a position on peace through strength. That is very important. It means that if you are strong, you can speak.” - ZelenskyyTrump can stop this war: “I now see that when I talk about something with Donald Trump, whether we meet in person or we just have a call, all the European leaders always ask, “How was it?” This shows the influence of Donald Trump, and this has never happened before with an American president.” – ZelenskyyNo US, No NATO: If the U.S. left NATO, it would essentially fall apart. The U.S. is critical to NATO's strength and global security. The role America played in World War II shows how much its support matters in conflicts like thisForgiveness? “Russia will have to apologize.

He took over a small group of Blockbuster stores in 1993 and grew it into one of the largest and most successful chains in the company. He finally closed his last store in 2018, more than eight years after Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy. Book: Built to Fail: The Inside Story of Blockbuster's Inevitable Bust From the Back Cover Blockbuster was phenomenally successful in its early years and made thousands rich beyond their wildest dreams. But it was consistently outsmarted and outmanaged by smaller companies. And the challenges began earlier than you think--long before Netflix was even an idea in the minds of founders Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph. Blockbuster became one of the most iconic brands in the history of American business, but it cracked at the first sign of a challenge. From its founding, Blockbuster was a company built to fail. Link: HERE Alan Payne Bio: Border Entertainment, LLC - 2000 to 2018 Founded a $34.2M franchise group with 41 independently owned Blockbuster stores. President & Chief Executive Officer Held complete P&L responsibility while managing executive team (CFO, VP of Product Management, VP and GM Alaska Division, VP and GM El Paso Division, VP and GM South Texas Division) with 750 employees. · Grew revenue to $34.2M with 41 stores located in Texas and Alaska. · Capitalized business with $14M debt and $3M in private equity investment. Investors received over 35% internal rate of return. Fully retired debt in 2012. · Grew sales 140% and profitability 190% during industry decline from 2000 to 2007. Expanded through same store sales increases, new store openings, relocations, and acquisitions. · Created proprietary management systems by gathering and analyzing data around financial and inventory performance. · Developed and implemented an aggressive real estate strategy, identifying heavily trafficked, high-volume locations. · Cultivated culture of loyalty, retaining employees during wind down. Alan Full Bio: HERE Blockbuster Video[5] was an American video rental store chain. It was founded by David Cook in 1985 as a stand-alone mom-and-pop home video rental shop, but later grew into a national store chain featuring video game rentals, DVD-by-mail, streaming, video on demand, and cinema theater.[6] The company expanded internationally throughout the 1990s. At its peak in 2004, Blockbuster consisted of 9,094 stores and employed approximately 84,300 people: 58,500 in the United States and 25,800 in other countries. Blockbuster – c/o Wikipedia: HERE Harry Wayne Huizenga Sr.[1] (/haɪˈzɛŋɡə/; December 29, 1937 – March 22, 2018) was an American businessman. He founded AutoNation and Waste Management Inc., and was the owner or co-owner of Blockbuster Video, the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL), the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League (NHL), and the Florida Marlins (now Miami Marlins) of Major League Baseball (MLB). Wayne Huizenga – c/o Wikipedia: HERE Notes: Seg 1 Blockbuster was the premier video rental company in the 1990s. To put it in perspective how big they were, they brought in more revenue than theater ticket sales. To add to that, if a movie bombed in the theater, it could be saved by video rental. Also with the introduction of DVDs in the late 1990s, movie studios started doing direct to video movies that would be released in rental stores like Blockbuster. Pre-Internet was a different era for retail sales. In the 1990s you had huge retail companies like Blockbuster for rental movies, Tower records for CDs and music, and Borders for books. In the 2000s with the rise of the Internet, these businesses were all under attack. Netflix was growing with streaming, iTunes add streaming music, and Amazon was out selling borders with book sales. In the mid-1990s Blockbuster at its height was the dominant video rental store with 40% market share. Hollywood Video is their main competitor with 20% market share. Per Alan, half the weekly rental business was done on Friday and Saturday night from 7 to 10 PM. Blockbuster on weekends was the place to be, where the community was literally gathering for family night in movie rentals. There were new releases that came out every week and this section of the store was usually the most popular. With the introduction of the VCR circa 1985 the video rental business took off. There were tons of small mom and pop video rental stores. The business didn't really have to be run that well as the industry was exploding. Prior to this it was very difficult to see old movies. You had to have seen them in the past in the theater or wait for Network TV to air them. There was no control and very limited choices. With the onset of Blockbuster in 1985, the video industry became more organized and professional. Blockbuster also had 6000 movie titles to rent, and scaled fast, opening stores by the dozen+. Cost for Blockbuster to buy a movie was $70 per movie. They needed to rent the movie 20 times just to break even. Blockbuster stores count were 5500 stores in the US, 1000 were franchisees and then corporate owned 4500. Corporate stores were typically in the larger markets, while the franchises were in the mid and smaller markets. Seg 2 Alan bio, in the 1980s straight out of school he went to work for HEB grocery, the second largest grocery company in Texas and privately held. It was a $25 billion company run by CEO Charles Burt In 1986, with the rise of Blockbuster started with just 30 to 40 stores. In 1987 HEB grocery started in the video business using Blockbuster as a model. They would own single location stores that were about 5 to 7000 ft.² in size. H-E-B eventually opened 35 stores and was beating Blockbuster in sales had to head in the markets in Texas like San Antonio for example. A few years later HEB sold out to Hollywood Video and Hollywood Video went public. In 1993 Alan got into franchises of Blockbuster working with Prime Cable. The business was struggling as Prime was not a retail company. They had 8 stores in Alaska and 10 stores in El Paso, Texas. Alan instituted the H-E-B model and was able to turn the stores around. Blockbuster Business Model - Blockbuster legitimized the video business, and made it more professional than the original mom and pop stores that were not run well. Wayne Huizenga had bought Blockbuster early on when it just had 20 stores and he grew it fast. The formula was simple - all movies regardless of whether they were new or old or rented for three day at $3. The demand for new movies was huge. Blockbuster could've charged more renting new movies. Alan used the H-E-B grocery video model that was developed. Rent movies by the day and charge more for new releases. Older movie you could charge a $1 a day and people could keep the movie for 3 to 5 days. There was actually a lot of demand for older movies, and they were 15,000 movie titles of older movies in demand. Seg 3 Wayne Huizenga is a great CEO and businessman. He was the only man to build three fortune 500 companies, Waste Management, Blockbuster, and Auto Nation. Auto Nation was run by CEO Mark Jackson, and is the premier car dealership. Wayne admitted he was more interested in building the thing, not running things. He also went on to buy the Miami Dolphins in football in the 1990s, and start the Florida Marlins baseball franchise. Blockbuster stores were well run, attractive, and demand was high. Their franchise colors of blue black background and yellow Blockbuster writing on the sign were easily visible. They also picked very good real estate locations for their stores. In 1994, Wayne sold Blockbuster to Viacom for $8.4 billion. In just seven years, built valuation from 1987 to 1994 when built up the business for a return of hundreds of percent. He paid $15 million, and sold it for $8.4 billion. Viacom rolled the business into its total corporate structure and six years later they spun it off at a $1.5 billion valuation in six years, they lost 75% of the value of the business, it was poorly run. Viacom was a TV company with major networks like Nickelodeon run by Sumner Redstone. He wanted to get involved in the movie business and use the Blockbuster purchase eventually to get Paramont studios. Blockbuster when purchased was cash flowing $1 billion a year, it was making lots of money. Steve Berrard was named the CEO of Blockbuster after the Viacom purchase, and only lasted one year. Then Bill Fields was brought in as the second Viacom CEO of Blockbuster. Fields had a Walmart background, so he was hired for his experience in retail. He had no clue though how to run the video business. He also lasted less than one year, and the cash flow was starting to go negative. Seg 4 1997 the DVD was introduced and this would change the movie and rental business. DVDs were created to be sold direct to consumer. 1997 is also the year that Netflix started with their DVD rental business through the mail. In 1999, the video rental business peaked at $10 billion a year in revenues. Post 1999 thru 2006 sales were flat to small growth. 1997 Blockbuster got their 3rd CEO, John Antioco, who served as Blockbuster CEO from 1997 through 2007. He also had a retail background and marketing. He had been at Taco Bell briefly, and prior to that he spent 20 years at 7-Eleven. 7-Eleven is a huge retail store that's really about location and real estate. They sell gas soda beer and cigarettes. They are not known for being great in retail. One thing John did as the new blockbuster CEO which was good, he started to engage with the franchisees. In the late 1990s you were starting to see technology in the Internet slowly affect new businesses. When Netflix was created they always intended to be an Internet company, it just took them 10 years to get where they wanted to be. John running Blockbuster that stable to slow growth. He doubled top line revenue and doubled the amount of stores blockbuster had but the profit margins went down. Had its height in the early 2000s blockbuster at 5500 US stores and 3 to 4000 stores outside the US. Blockbuster at the typical business fix cost of rent labor and taxes, which were slowly increasing year after year. Gross margin is just the rental revenue minus the cost of the product. The cost of the DVD product have been cut in half by the early 2000s. DVDs were made cheaper as the movie business was trying to sell direct to consumer, and kill the rental business if possible. The rental business revenues started flattening out post 2005. Sell through business for DVDs from movie studios was increasing every year, and had tripled in just a few years in sales. In theory, Blockbusters gross margin should've gone up but instead was declining. They had the Proto typical business math problem of high costs and not enough sales. The Great Recession of 2008 was really the beginning of the end for Blockbuster. By 2010 blockbuster and filed bankruptcy. It was the end of an era of a very strong stable business at one point for video sales rental. Seg 5 – Bonus Netflix started in 1997, with a business model of DVD rental via the mail. Even though Netflix only had a small portion of market share, by 2004 blockbuster felt compelled to compete with Netflix on the video rental via sales but failed. Netflix originally did not have their subscription model. That model was added a few years in, circa 2007. In 2010, Netflix started adjusting their business model and experimenting heavily with streaming. The streaming business model for Netflix really didn't take off until post 2010. Netflix created their AI recommendation model. This taught their subscriber base how to enjoy titles. Netflix overall model was customer centric. If a customer liked comedy Netflix could recommend 10 more comedies to them. Another thing the customers loved was Netflix would release the full season of the TV series at one time. This created the streaming binge watch phenomenon. By contrast Blockbuster had tons of customer data but never did anything with that data. In theory Blockbuster could've been Netflix, and at one point almost bought Netflix. Netflix original niche was renting older movies with the recommendation model. Netflix also created the queue system. Netflix sent titles in a customer's queue of 20 movies and would control what movies the customer would get sent in the mail. In 1998, Blockbuster had to start a revenue sharing of profits with movie studios and this really hurt gross margin in the video rental business. Unit volume sales were not stable as time went on. Overall top line volume sounds was inconsistent. Blockbuster at one point tried the subscription model, but physically in stores. It failed for it did not work in an actual brick and mortar retail store. Blockbuster in the mid-2000s used gimmick solutions which never really addressed the fundamental problems that were happening. Reed Hastings of Netflix offered to sell the company to Blockbuster in 2000 for $50 million. Netflix wanted to join forces. Reed Hastings goal from day one, was to be an Internet company. Blockbuster was not able to work out the deal, so it never materialized. Reed Hastings of Netflix was a true founder and original. He had vision. Founders may not be the best operators all the time, but they must have vision. There are some founders though who not only have vision, but also can be an operator. Examples are Reed Hastings of Netflix, Steve Jobs of Apple, Mark Zuckerberg with Facebook. Wayne Huizenga was a founder, but not an operator. You go from the founder mentality to the operator mentality, but this never materialized in the history of Blockbuster. Overall, Blockbuster management never really understood the business they were in. They were in the customer business, but never really focused on the customer. This is how over the long term they were beat out by companies like Netflix, and even Amazon. Peter Drucker (famous business consultant) would ask the important question: ‘What business are you in?' – to understand who your customers are, what they need, and how to market and sell to your customer Postscript: Alan Payne closed his last blockbuster store in 2018, and then wrote the Built to Fail Blockbuster book. He does not know what his next endeavor is….

Measuring your company's economic influence drives self-motivation and is a powerful tool for marketing and business development. Jennifer Meyer of Govig Executive Search joins us in this episode to give insight on using specific metrics to measure your economic impact and how you can communicate it with potential clients. Jen has a lifetime cash-in of $20M over her 26 years in the industry. She's the SVP of Strategic Partnerships at Govig & Associates, where she's at the helm of business development. She leads the overall team of 27 recruiters, actively front-facing with clients and playing a significant role in surpassing $14M in results. Jen's recruitment efforts have been vital in assisting small to mid-size firms, particularly those under private equity, to double in size. Jen's placements have contributed to an economic impact exceeding $1B. Episode Outline and Highlights [01:51] Jen's start in the recruitment industry as a college intern. [10:09] Differentiating techniques in communication and business development. [19:06] “Speak to them in their language” [28:02] Training your team to apply the TSI (Targeted Sales Information) approach. [40:00] How to quantify your economic impact. [50:41] A boutique recruitment firm's differentiators against the bigger organizations. [54:53] Discussion on team development strategies. [59:18] Jen's take on work and life harmony. Quantifying the Economic Impact of Your Recruitment Business Measuring your company's economic impact can be significantly beneficial for at least two reasons. The first one is self-motivation; knowing how you contribute to the broader economy can positively impact and fulfill. The second one is on the marketing and business development side. It can help potential clients understand the bigger value you will bring to their organization. Jen shared how she is able to track her placement's economic contribution using specific metrics. Her placements overall have contributed to more than $1B in economic impact. She shared their formula: “We always talk about the size of our billings or our business in relation to what were invoicing or what our split was in relation to cash in. But we really should be talking about the salaries of the people that we place, you know, if you were going to relate it that way…Yeah, it does go beyond that, though, where you are at the, you know, again, at the basic level, you are affecting the person, and you're affecting the hiring manager. So that could be a times two, right?” Here is a takeaway: Start trying to calculate the individual impact you're having in the world, particularly the positive impact you're having for your clients, and try to quantify that. If you have the appetite, even go back in history and try to work it out. But even just starting right now, try and figure out what difference you're making because that's really motivating! Differentiating in the Business Development Side A key topic I wanted to discuss with Jen is how she is able to differentiate, especially on the client acquisition and business development side of things. Jen has always been consistently recognized as a top performer in her career. I wanted to pick her brains on her approach when it comes to communicating with potential leads and candidates, and she surely did not disappoint. Jen revealed specific tips and verbiage that you may want also to use. Here are some key takeaways: Focus on authenticity and listening more by asking curious questions. Avoid typical questions like “Can I help you?” or “How are you doing?” Use power phrases such as “Are you in a place where you can talk confidentially?” or “I've only got a minute” instead of “Have you got a minute?” The effective use of body language. She explained, “Whether you're 30 minutes into the business or you're 30 years into the business, everybody is saying the same thing and overcoming objections in the same way. So what can you do that just sounds different? You know what I mean? And I think if you think about it from a perspective of what that person is going to hear based on their world helps you...And so if you speak to them in their language, they get it.” You will also hear Jen's insights on developing her team to elevate their levels on the business development side, which is quite similar to the TSI (Targeted Sales Information) approach. Team Development Strategies as a Billing Manager A billing manager is a critical and challenging role in a recruitment firm. The role entails ensuring individual profitability while leading your team to do the same. Jen has been passionate about mentoring and developing her people, so I wanted to hear her methods in helping her team be successful. Jen elaborated on the following topics: Consistent deskside training. Real-time feedback and call reviews. The importance of teaching structure. Listening for opportunities in candidate interviews. Using a checklist. Our Sponsor This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

She's at the helm of business development and leads the overall team of 27 recruiters, actively front-facing with clients and playing a significant role in surpassing $14M in results.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
One by one, the core of the greatest era in San Francisco Giants history is moving on. Brandon Crawford was the last man standing, but now his Giants tenure is all but officially over. Crawford is signing a major-league deal with the St. Louis Cardinals, per multiple reports. The SF Giants were always extremely unlikely to re-sign Crawford after a couple of very disappointing seasons. He deserved more from the franchise than a minor league deal, but that's likely all they'd reasonably be willing to offer the franchise icon. The good news is that SF Giants fans will get at least one more chance to cheer for Crawford when the Cardinals come to Oracle Park this year. We at Locked On Giants wish Brandon Crawford nothing but the best as he continues his life and baseball journey.Speaking of deals for shortstops, the SF Giants signed Nick Ahmed to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training on what not-so-coincidentally was the same day Crawford agreed to terms with St. Louis. Ahmed, like Crawford, is known for his glove and not his bat (but Ahmed has historically been a worse hitter than Crawford). Ahmed, however, was able to be brought in on a minor league deal so it's a no-risk move that provides some veteran insurance in case Marco Luciano isn't able to seize the shortstop role. The signing doesn't preclude them from making a play for Matt Chapman, Blake Snell, or Jordan Montgomery.Switching gears, we learned that the Giants made a one-year, $14M offer to J.D. Martinez before they ultimately landed Jorge Soler for that same AAV over three years. There was initially a report that Martinez turned down the Giants because he simply "didn't want to play there," but other reporters set the record straight that Martinez was seeking $20M and the SF Giants considered that to be too pricey. The fact that the Giants' offer was exactly the same as Soler's in terms of 2024 salary further reinforces the notion that the Giants may be operating with a self-imposed salary cap of about $165M.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
Chronic pain does not need to be something we "just live with". There are healthy alternative ways to reduce and even remove chronic pain and Dr, Afton Hassett talks about how in this episode. Please share this episode around and make sure to rate/review, I will be forever grateful!In this episode Dr. Afton talks aboutHer background and why she got into working with clients with chronic painWhat is chronic pain, the different kinds and the causesHow the mind plays a role in chronic painHow what we love to do will help with chronic painOther alternative methods/strategies to remove chronic painTalks about her book “Chronic Pain Reset”And so much more…Dr. Hassett's bio: Dr. Afton L. Hassett is an Associate Professor and Director of Pain and Opioid Research in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Michigan. She is a principal investigator at the Chronic Pain & Fatigue Research Center who has over $14M of research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Viewed as a leader in the field of chronic pain and resilience, she recently gave the Keynote address at the 2023 Pain Consortium Symposium on Advances in Pain Research for the NIH. While studying established treatments for chronic pain and developing new approaches is her passion, her frustration is that exciting research discoveries rarely make it to the people who could benefit the most. Thus, Afton's mission was to write Chronic Pain Reset to bring evidence-based strategies from research and academic medical settings directly to people who live with chronic pain with the hope that they will gain new tools to lead more rewarding lives with less pain.Dr. Hassett's links:Website: https://aftonhassett.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aftonhassett/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/AftonHassettSupport the showPlease support this podcast: https://patreon.com/therootofourhealth and https://www.buzzsprout.com/1393414/supporters/new Join my emailing list for monthly updates including podcast episodes and fun things about health and wellness http://bit.ly/monthlyupdatesemailLike Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/therootofourhealth/Email me: therootofourhealth@gmail.com

Today's guest Mike Abramowitz helps break down the many seasons we all experience in life, and how to best utilize them for the things we need to accomplish. We talk about how to excel even in the seemingly slow season of winter, and how to identify the different seasons. Enjoy this episode.

(12:00) How to have boundaries despite restrictions. (20:24) Mike's Bio: My name is Mike. And I wouldn't be here today if not for the wisdom my mom taught me.My mom was a superhero in my eyes. No matter what was happening in my life (or hers) she was always there to lift me up, inspire me to keep going and to always lean into my strengths.I was an overweight teen who made the varsity basketball team and my mom used to cheer me on from the stands with encouragement to “use your strength, Mikey!”. I didn't understand it then. I do now. See, my mom was diagnosed with cancer when I was in high school. She radiated love, positivity and empowerment. No matter what was happening, she would always make you feel like the most important person in the room when you spoke. It was a gift. A blessing. When I went to college in Florida my mom got sick again and I had to race home to her bedside. I didn't know if I would make it but at the last moment, I did. Tears streamed down my face saying goodbye that day. A mark and impression left. Mom waited for me to be by her side before she passed. I didn't know it then, but I do now. Mom was the one who taught me the strength to fight. The strength to let go and the ability to know when each is needed. After her death, I embraced those strengths. I became the District Executive for Vector Marketing, founder of PB&J for Tampa Bay, and the Founder of G.R.A.B. Tomorrow I travel the world helping individuals unlock more of their potential. Their own unique strengths. To not allow your greatest insecurities to define you but rather to inspire others and use them as the superpowers they really are. I have been blessed to have trained 4000 individuals to sell $14M in company products, launched a passion project to provide 80,000 meals, self published 9 books on various personal development topics, and be a top-0.5% producer out of 2M sales reps in the 40 year history of the company. My career, commitment and purpose is helping people open their mindsets to what's possible when they fully commit to creating a strong foundation for their lives through tiny actions daily Learn more at www.mikeabramowitz.com What's Next?

Climate Myths DEBUNKED: The Real Reason Elites Want You Terrified of Global Warming https://youtu.be/RYtaA94-z4w Glenn Beck 1.14M subscribers 130,446 views Premiered Jul 26, 2023 #glennbeck #theblaze #glenntv Wealthy climate crusaders like John Kerry and Joe Biden love to hop from one climate change doomsday conference to another on private jets that emit more carbon than any one of us could spew in our entire lifetime. Why is their hypocrisy so blatant? Glenn argues one reason is that climate change has become a powerful political weapon. Look no farther than jet-setter Hillary Clinton, who recently blamed her political enemies for hot summer temperatures in a tweet: "Hot enough for you? Thank a MAGA Republican. Or better yet, vote them out of office.” Hypocrisy and instilling fear are just the way their game of control works. Glenn explores the shady history of climate hysteria, which, unlike climate change, ACTUALLY grows more severe by the day. These are the people who have repeatedly insisted that mass extinction would be a good thing. They've figured out how to use “climate change” to provoke fear. Before that, it was global warming. Before that, it was acid rain. Or the new ice age. Or the ozone layer. Beware the false climate prophets who use doom to reshape your world. ► Click HERE to subscribe to Glenn Beck on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2UVLqhL ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV: get.blazetv.com/glenn ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV YouTube: / @blazetv ► Click HERE to sign up to Glenn's newsletter: https://www.glennbeck.com/st/Morning_...

Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show. This is a very meaningful episode to me. It is probably the most significant interview that I've recorded in the last year, and it is with one of my favorite people and one of my favorite scientists in the world: Roland Griffiths, PhD. Roland has recently been diagnosed with what is very likely terminal stage-four cancer. If you've ever found yourself inspired by someone who walks the walk, this episode is worth listening to. In facing mortality and potentially facing death, what Roland has done and is doing, the perspective he is finding, and the tools he is using, are nothing short of awe inspiring. His example is beyond words, and I wanted to share that with all of you. I hope you find it as deeply enriching and valuable as I did. It is a very tender conversation at points, a very funny conversation, and in many ways, a very profound conversation.To learn more about Roland's very ambitious project to establish a world-class psychedelic research program—in perpetuity—to advance human flourishing and well-being, please visit GriffithsFund.org.Currently, Roland has received pledges totaling about $14M. This means that he is $6M short of the $20M target, sufficient to support the full research program. To donate, please visit GriffithsFund.org and click “Donate.”For more information about establishing a major gift, please contact Mike DeVito, the Senior Associate Director of Development at mdevito1@jhmi.edu or call him at (443) 278-3174. Donors who contribute $1000 or more and who do not choose to remain anonymous will be acknowledged on the website.Here is Roland's bio:Roland Griffiths, PhD, is a Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neurosciences at Johns Hopkins University, and founding Director of the Johns Hopkins Center on Psychedelic and Consciousness Research. His principal research focus in both clinical and preclinical laboratories has been on the behavioral and subjective effects of mood-altering drugs.His research has been largely supported by grants from the National Institute on Health, and he is author of over 400 scientific publications. He has been a consultant to the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organization, and numerous pharmaceutical companies. Roland has conducted extensive research with sedative-hypnotics, caffeine, and novel mood-altering drugs.In 1994 Roland started a regular meditation practice that made him curious about certain altered states of consciousness that prompted him in 1999 to initiate the first study in decades to rigorously evaluate the effects of a high dose of a classic psychedelic drug (psilocybin) in healthy psychedelic-naïve participants. Subsequent studies with psilocybin have been conducted in healthy volunteers, in beginning and long-term meditators, and in religious leaders. Therapeutic studies with psilocybin include treatment of psychological distress in cancer patients, cigarette smoking addiction, major depression, anorexia nervosa, and Alzheimer's Disease. Other studies have examined non-psychedelic drugs that produce altered states of consciousness having similarities to psilocybin. Brain imaging studies have examined pharmacological and neural mechanisms of action of psilocybin.Roland's research group has also conducted a series of survey studies characterizing various naturally-occurring and psychedelic-occasioned transformative experiences including: mystical-type experiences, psychologically challenging experiences, near-death experiences (NDEs), Entity and God-encounter experiences, and experiences to which reduced anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders are attributed.Please enjoy!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
