Send Crystal a text letting her know what you thought about the show!This season of Forces for Nature is extra special- all of the guests are participants in the Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders (EWCL) program, a global network of conservationists who are pushing the boundaries of how people and wildlife can thrive together. As EWCL celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, I'm spotlighting some of the inspiring individuals whose work is shaping the future of conservation.To kick things off, I sat down with Dr. Hugo Pereira, a field veterinarian with the Mozambique Wildlife Alliance. Hugo's job might sound like it's all about the animals- from darting elephants, to rescuing orphaned rhinos, and rehabilitating pangolins- but as he makes clear, conservation is just as much about people. In Mozambique, communities and wildlife share the same land, which means Hugo's work often starts with listening to frustrations, building trust, and co-creating solutions that reduce conflict and create opportunity. And while you may never lift a rhino calf into a helicopter or pull an elephant out of the mud, you probably do encounter your own version of human–wildlife conflict whether it's deer eating your garden, coyotes prowling your neighborhood, or simply the daily choices of how your community shares space with nature. Hugo's “people-first” approach shows us that coexistence starts with compassion, creativity, and persistence and the principles he lives by in the savannas of Mozambique are the same ones that can guide us in our own backyards.HighlightsThe adrenaline and precision behind rescuing a rhino calf orphaned by poachers.How Hugo and the Mozambique Wildlife Alliance adapt with creativity in the field to save animals in crisis.Why a “people-first” approach is essential for reducing human-wildlife conflict and creating space for coexistence.What YOU Can DoVolunteer your skills to support local zoos or conservation institutions.Share conservation stories on social media. Spreading the right information helps raise awareness and attract wider support. Donate to conservation organizations.Educate yourself about organizations in your own area: Who they are, why they do what they do, and what would happen if they didn't exist. This awareness builds empathy and informed support.Get informed about local wildlife and why they're present. Understanding why deer, coyotes, or other species show up in neighborhoods helps people move from frustration to tolerance.Modify your environment to prevent conflict:Build or adjust fences to keep animals out of gardens or crops.Use deterrents like flashlights, noises, or scarecrows, depending on the species.Recognize “tolerance” as an important step: we don't have to love the wildlife around us, but learning to tolerate them is the bridge toward coexistence.Want a free guide to help you become a force for nature?

In this deeply moving and inspiring episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Sophie Pierce, a 32-year-old social worker from Pembrokeshire, West Wales, who made history in March 2025 as the first person with Cystic Fibrosis to row an ocean. Diagnosed at just 3 months old, Sophie has lived with the challenges of a genetic condition that affects her lungs and digestive system and once carried a life expectancy of under 30 years. But Sophie's story is not defined by limitation—it's a bold testament to resilience, courage, and the power of hope. From working in fostering services to hiking the Welsh coast with her dogs, swimming in cold water, and sleeping in her campervan—Sophie has never shied away from living life on her terms.  In this episode, she opens up about the life-changing impact of the Kaftrio drug trial, how she overcame mental health struggles, and what it truly meant to embrace life beyond the horizon by rowing across the Atlantic. She shares the highs and lows of the row: the months of preparation, team dynamics, magical moments at sea, and how it feels to return to "normal life" after an extraordinary adventure. Sophie's message is powerful and universal—you are capable of so much more than you think. If you're looking for inspiration, perspective, and an honest exploration of living—and thriving—with a life-limiting condition, this episode is not to be missed.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

We've spent the last few years talking about mental health at work like it's always a crisis—trauma, burnout, damage done. Bryan Power, Head of People at Nextdoor, thinks that framing actually makes the conversation harder. Instead, what if we positioned mental health as something everyone can access, not just people in distress? In this episode, we cut through the jargon and look at resilience, performance, and the everyday practices that actually help people do their best work.Bryan and I also dig into the cultural pendulum swing from “bring your whole self to work” to “respect my boundaries,” the generational divides shaping expectations around connection, and how AI is reshaping not just jobs, but how leaders set boundaries, communicate, and build culture. Spoiler: the hot takes on AI are everywhere, but the real opportunity isn't doing more with less—it's doing more with the same.Related Links:Join the People Managing People community forumSubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Bryan on LinkedInCheck out NextdoorSupport the show

This might just be the best mountain bike podshow you've ever hate-listened to. That's right—podshow, because podcasts are boring and suck, and furthermore, calling it a podcast would be an insult to the fine tradition of nonsense, awkward silences, and self-inflicted pain we serve up with all the grace of Boston Rob “making it clap” at dance parties (yes, that actually happened).  On this episode, we're uniting mountain bikers the best way we know how: by traumatizing Boston Rob with potential electrocution every time he laughs or drops an F-bomb (so basically, every ten seconds), peppering our guest Sergi “Ride Caviar” Massot with questions he doesn't want to answer, and dissecting the fine art of refusing to do something scary the first time, unless it's stealing a Monster fridge while blacked out after a BMX event (best Sergi story yet). There's enough childish conversation about absolute carnage on trails, dog tributes, and existential dread over medical bills to make you feel at home, disrespected, and weirdly motivated, all at once. So if you thought you were signing up for thoughtful, nuanced mountain bike commentary, you're almost as dumb as the hosts. Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow—the only podshow where the runtime is matched only by the length of our collective hospital bills. Hit play. Enjoy the accompanying mental degradation.

In an era where artificial intelligence and digital solutions are rapidly reshaping the business landscape, leaders are confronted with both exciting opportunities and significant challenges. Leveraging AI isn't just about adopting flashy new tools or automating mundane tasks; it's about reimagining leadership itself. Today's leaders must transition from simply managing people to mastering the art of leading with technology—using AI as a collaborative partner to boost efficiency, foster innovation, and build adaptable, future-ready teams. Understanding and embracing AI is no longer optional. It is the new leadership literacy—akin to financial literacy in decades past. Leaders who develop this skill set can cultivate a culture of curiosity, resilience, and proactive problem-solving, all while keeping humanity at the core of their organizations. This episode dives deep into actionable strategies for AI adoption, ways to champion a positive culture amidst technological change, and future trends that every leader needs to track.

Identity is the root cause of over 70% of all security incidents, yet many organizations still rely on fundamentally flawed authentication methods. In this episode, Jasson Casey, CEO and co-founder of Beyond Identity, explains why even common forms of MFA are insufficient and why any system that relies on a "secret moving" is vulnerable to attack.The conversation dives deep into the architectural shift needed to truly secure identity: moving from probabilistic tools to deterministic proof. Jasson breaks down how to leverage the hardware-backed secure enclaves (like TPMs and the Secure Enclave) that already exist in our devices to create un-phishable, device-bound credentials that can't be stolen or copied.We also explore how this approach provides a necessary defense against the next wave of AI-enabled threats, including deepfakes and hyper-realistic social engineering attacks that will make it nearly impossible for humans to spot the difference.Guest Socials -⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jasson's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security BootCamp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Cybersecurity PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(02:10) Who is Jasson Casey?(04:00) What is the 2025 Version of IAM?(07:15) Why Hasn't The Identity Problem Been Solved?(08:00) The Fundamental Flaw: Relying on Secrets That Move(10:00) The Solution: Un-phishable, Hardware-Backed Identity(12:15) Why Your Current MFA is Insufficient and Easily Exploited(14:42) The Apple Pay Analogy: How Secure Identity Already Works in Your Pocket(18:58) The "Aha!"

Despite some fearing it threatens the industry's very existence, Artificial Intelligence is quickly becoming a commonly used tool in film and television production. Tasks that would once take days or even weeks can now be completed in mere minutes thanks to AI. This has some industry players jumpy, worried that their roles may soon become redundant, but others see the possibility for creativity to flourish without the need for huge Hollywood-style studios. But with few rules of regulations in place to control the rapidly evolving tech, there are calls for the government here to do more. Evie Richardson reports.

If you want to lose body fat and feel leaner and stronger, it's easier than you think. There's no single approach that works for everyone, but once the pieces are in place, the process isn't complicated. The real challenge is staying consistent.In this episode, I break down the essentials: the most effective combination of exercise and nutrition, the best workouts for fat loss, and the biggest mistake people make with food.The research is clear: cutting calories without changing activity leads to muscle loss, not just fat. And muscle is gold for your health. To protect it, you need a smart mix of strength training, cardio, and higher protein intake. I'll walk you through the evidence and show you exactly why this works.We'll cover two proven strategies:Calorie restriction paired with strength training, with progressive overload and consistency.Mixed exercise (strength plus cardio) with higher protein intake of 1.1–1.7 grams per kilogram of body weight.Both approaches work, but combining all three—strength, cardio, and nutrition—delivers the best results. From there, it's just fine-tuning.When it comes to strength training, almost any plan works if you stick to progression, volume, and smart exercise selection. But for women over 40, combining compound movements with single joint exercises is especially powerful, producing a stronger hormonal response and better results.The key is following a structured program week after week. Random workouts from social media won't cut it.On the nutrition side, fat loss requires a calorie deficit. You need to burn more than you consume. For most of my clients, that's just 300–500 calories per day. It doesn't mean cutting out favorite foods or going extreme. Balanced macronutrients make it easier and help reduce fatigue, cravings, and mood swings.One common pitfall is eating clean during the week, then loosening up too much on weekends. Even small surpluses can wipe out progress. Adopting a 7-day approach instead of a 5-day one changes everything. You can still enjoy weekends, but being intentional and consistent makes results come much faster.If this all feels overwhelming, you don't have to go it alone. Coaching can make the process simple and sustainable. And stay tuned—I'll be hosting a free three-day live workshop called Midlife Muscle Mastery this September.

Segment 1: • 77% of Gen Z brought a parent to a job interview—”lawnmower parenting” at its peak. • Parents are doing kids' chores and even handling workplace disputes for them. • Kid-centered homes are crippling resilience and robbing work ethic. Segment 2: • Hard work is essential for fulfillment, but kids are being shielded from it. • Failure is a necessary teacher—Christian parents must resist overprotection. • True maturity comes from responsibility, not comfort. Segment 3: • “Neurodiversity” is being used as a catch-all term with political baggage. • No uniform criteria exist—definitions are fluid and agenda-driven. • Adopting secular therapeutic labels in the church risks compromising truth. Segment 4: • Venezuela hosts a massive “March for Jesus” rally. • A Baltimore judge gives no jail time for assault of elderly pro-life advocates. • 1 in 5 pastors have considered self-harm or suicide in the last year. ___ Thanks for listening!

It's never too late to start building a financial plan, but the more time you have to make your money work for you, the better. Developing good financial habits early on increases your chances of achieving financial independence, and starting in your 20s is even more beneficial.  Links: Start your savings journey with Triangle's Goal Builder tool Start your investment journey with Triangle's Financial Planning services Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources!

Learn more about Triangle Credit Union   Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   Many Americans often delay building a financial plan until they're much further along in life, typically waiting for unexpected circumstances to push them into action. This habit of postponing critical decisions can create unnecessary stress and limit our ability to grow wealth. Instead of taking charge, we allow life's pressures to dictate our financial choices, which can hinder long-term success.  If you're in your early, mid, or late 20s, now is the perfect time to prioritize your financial future. Don't wait for a life event to motivate you! Starting your financial journey now enables your money to grow and compound over time, giving you a distinct advantage.   Take the initiative to outline your financial goals. By working to develop healthy financial habits early on, you'll empower yourself to make informed decisions that will lead to lasting financial security. The actions you take today will pave the way for a brighter future—don't hesitate to seize this opportunity!  Here are a few practical things you can do in your 20s to start building wealth early:   PAY YOURSELF FIRST – Make it a point to develop good saving habits. Whether you're working part-time while in school or recently graduated and working full-time, whenever you get your paycheck, set aside a portion of your income into a savings account for emergencies or other savings goals. Any percentage is good, but somewhere around 10% is a widely accepted rule of thumb. Use a savings too like Triangle's Goal Builder tool within online and mobile banking to start your savings plan.  START INVESTING EARLY – Investing early in your 20s is one of the smartest financial moves you can make. The most significant advantage is compound growth—your money earns returns, and those returns earn returns, snowballing over time. Starting early also gives you more time to recover from market fluctuations, build wealth gradually, and potentially retire earlier or with more financial freedom. Explore financial resources, such as books, or connect with a financial professional to help you set up a solid investment portfolio. If you're ready to an investment journey, get started with Triangle's Financial Planning services. Visit trianglecu.org to learn more and get in touch! AVOID BAD DEBT -  Not all debts are created equal. Some are better than others. Bad debts are types of borrowing that do not contribute to building wealth or generating future income. They often come with high interest rates and are used to purchase depreciating items like clothes, electronics, or luxury goods that lose value quickly. Unlike good debt, which can be an investment in your future (like student loans or a mortgage), bad debt can trap you in a cycle of repayment without long-term benefits. Avoiding bad debt is important because it protects your credit score, reduces financial stress, and allows you to focus on saving and investing for your future.  LIVE BELOW (OR WITHIN) YOUR MEANS – Find a way to manage your money in a way that keeps you from overspending. Practicing good financial management habits can help reduce excessive spending, which might interfere with savings goals and even lead to increased debt. Understand your income and set up a budget that covers your living expenses, encourages saving, and allocates some money for fun, discretionary spending. Adopting frugal living, such as cooking at home instead of eating out, reducing food delivery services, and avoiding impulse purchases, is a great way to ensure you're living within your means and avoiding lifestyle creep. BUILD MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME – In your 20s, you have a unique opportunity to explore various skills that can lead to extra income streams. As you build your career experience, seize the opportunity to diversify your earnings. If you're training to become a teacher, consider tapping into the lucrative world of online tutoring as a side gig. Additionally, if you possess talents in writing, graphic design, video editing, or social media management, platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer are excellent avenues to generate extra income. With so many exciting options at your fingertips, you can boost your revenue while simultaneously refining your skills and expertise.  If there are any other tips or topics you would like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

“It took me 12 years to write it and get it to a publisher… writing a book was a lot harder than an Ironman.” In this heartfelt episode of Uncorking a Story, I sit down with Betsy Armstrong—writer, mom, athlete, and philanthropist—to explore the winding path that led her to authorship. From losing her mother at 23, to navigating midlife, infertility, and ultimately adopting two children from Russia, Betsy's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and radical love. Her memoir, The Mother of All Decisions, dives into the legacy of mother loss and the power of choosing motherhood in her late 40s. Whether you're grieving, writing your way through pain, or redefining your life at midlife, this conversation will move and motivate you. Key Takeaways: Grief can be a catalyst for personal transformation—if we're brave enough to face it. Writing is not just creative expression; it's a powerful tool for healing. Adopting at midlife brought unexpected challenges—and immeasurable joy. It's never too late to become the person you're meant to be. Even careers that don't seem “creative” (like nonprofit work or sales) can build skills for storytelling. Memoir writing takes time, support, and revision—it really does take a village. You don't need to have all the answers to begin writing—just a willingness to be honest. Buy The Mother of All Decisions: A Memoir of Mother Loss, Legacy, and Adopting Kids in Midlife.

About "Humility: Adopting Paul's "Less Than the Least" Mindset" Isaac Watts saw pride as a root‑poison in the soul and wrote these pages to help Christians dig it out by its very source. Here you will find no mere rules or moralizing, but a steady unfolding of: Pride wears subtle disguises in every heart. Christ's humility is our pattern, and Paul's self-abasement is our example. There is quiet power in depending on God and knowing our nothingness. Peace and grace flow from esteeming others and denying self. Read slowly. Let each gentle conviction awaken you to your own need. Then, having learned to think "slightly less of yourself and slightly more of others," discover the unsearchable riches Christ gives to the humble of heart. A worm may lift itself up above other worms, but one step from a man crushes it into the dust. So it is with us. We may seem greater than our neighbors, but in God's presence, we are nothing. — Isaac Watts

Michael Henderson: Cultivating The Wolfpak Mentality | The Hopeaholics PodcastDive into the awe-inspiring journey of Michael Henderson, a true titan of resilience who turned life's darkest moments into a blazing legacy. Once a powerhouse automotive executive commanding ten collision centers and millions in revenue, Michael faced a seismic stage three testicular cancer diagnosis that shook his world. Undaunted, he battled excruciating pain, grueling five-hour daily chemo sessions, and a life-threatening blood clot in his jugular, all while keeping his struggle hidden from colleagues to remain the steadfast provider for his family. Forged in a childhood without parents, navigating life among relatives, and stepping up to take custody of his younger sister, Michael cultivated an unstoppable “lone wolf” mentality that powered his “it's only a moment” philosophy to conquer adversity. At 45, this life-altering disruption sparked a fearless vision to abandon his high-flying career and launch WolfPak, a family-fueled brand that skyrocketed from a garage to the iconic former Hurley building in Costa Mesa. With his wife mastering Adobe Illustrator to craft stunning bag designs, his daughters creating the iconic wolf logo and shining as brand models, and his eight-year-old son growing up amidst SpongeBob-branded creations, Michael's family turned his dream into a global sensation. WolfPak's innovative, personalized bags—born from his daughters' passion for self-expression—carry not just gear but powerful stories of triumph, resonating with athletes and dreamers worldwide.

          In this insightful and entertaining episode of the Pet Pig Podcast, Autumn  explores the many ways that pet pigs behave like toddlers—and why understanding these behaviors is crucial for any current or future pig parent. Drawing from her two decades of experience, Autumn breaks down common pig traits like tantrums, selective eating, curiosity, and emotional expression, highlighting their parallels to young children.           Listeners will learn why pigs need supervision, structure, routine, and social interaction just like toddlers, and why pig-proofing a home is as important as childproofing. Autumn emphasizes the importance of patience, consistency, and education in raising a happy, healthy pig. She also reminds prospective owners that while toddlers grow up, pigs remain in this toddler-like state for life—making pig ownership a long-term commitment.           Whether you already have a pig, are thinking about getting one, or just love learning more about these amazing animals, this episode offers valuable insights into the daily realities of life with a pet pig. Key Topics Covered:     •    Tantrums and emotional expression     •    Curiosity, mischief, and boundary testing     •    The importance of routine and supervision     •    Social needs and separation anxiety     •    Intelligence, learning, and mental stimulation     •    Lifelong commitment and realistic expectations Adopting a pig means making a promise—for life. This episode helps you decide if you're truly ready for that responsibility.

Temperatures this summer have been hotter than usual, a trend we have come to expect with climate change as records are continually surpassed. While many of us can ride out extreme heat in the comfort of air conditioned interior spaces, outdoor workers don't have that option and must contend with the risks of serious injury which can be acute and long lasting. A fast growing market for wearable cooling products, both in high tech and low tech varieties, is attempting to meet the challenge. Among those products is the CülCan, made by the Tennessee based small business Black Ice.  “If you can pull heat away from your hand, it'll cool your whole body down. And so that's what we've done with the CülCan. It's basically a five inch cylinder that contains our special coolant,” said Mike Beavers, co-founder of Black Ice. A key selling point of the product, according to Beavers, is that the coolant inside, which is a chemical composition Beavers designed, doesn't get as cold as ice, so it is easier to use on a person's skin. “You put it in ice water or a freezer… and then you just hold it in the palm of your hand,” he said. “That is now our most popular product. We sell tons of those things.”Beavers said his business has been growing by about 30 percent a year over the last three years, an acceleration from its previous pace. The company has been around for about 20 years. Across the Atlantic, the Swiss company GreenTeg is also reporting growing demand for its continuous body temperature monitors, which are worn with a patch or a strap. The monitors are often employed by athletes who have to perform outdoors, said CEO and founder Wulf Glatz. “So this device can communicate then with your smartphone,” he said, “and it will estimate your core temperature and broadcast that value to that device.”Being able to monitor core temperature can help with prevention. Unlike a simple thermometer which, if put against the skin, would only tell you the temperature on your skin, GreenTeg claims its monitors can measure the temperature inside the body. It is that core temperature that is key to whether someone is developing heat-related illness. Glatz says there's growing interest in his company's technology. They've been approached by organizations representing firefighters, the military, miners and airfield workers. “If there's an airplane landing, you need to unload the baggage. You can't wait for three hours for it to get cooler, but what you can do is to measure the individuals and really have them safe,” he said, “maybe you need to exchange teams in higher frequency, maybe you need to equip them with cooling gear.”Brett Perkison, an environmental and occupational medicine specialist at UTHealth Houston, tested one of GreenTeg's monitors in combination with cooling vests. In a small study, he found the combination approach helpful in limiting heat related illnesses among outdoor laborers. The problem with the personal cooling industry is that not all of the gadgets being sold to the public are proven to work. For example, ones that use fans to cool the body, such as ventilated helmets, are unlikely to do much in humid environments, said Fabiano Amorim of the University of New Mexico, who has studied heat stress on outdoor workers in Brazil and the U.S. “[Helmets with fans] can increase the comfort or let's say your perception to heat, but it's not reducing your temperature,” he said. Not reducing core body temperature on hot days can have serious consequences. The number of heat-related emergency room visits in the summer of 2023 totaled 120,000, according to the CDC. Heat stress can cause someone to get lightheaded and fatigued. More serious symptoms include seizures. Repeat exposure to heat stress  can permanently damage people's kidneys, Amorim said. The condition can be fatal. “We have seen people 40, 50 years old, [who are] dying from chronic kidney disease. And, they don't have any factor that's related to the traditional chronic kidney disease. That's hypertension, obesity and diabetes. And, the only history these people have is working under hot environments,” Amorim said. Many people do not develop serious symptoms until it's too late. That means employers must be proactive in employing cooling gadgets and strategies such as rest breaks in shaded areas, access to cool water, and access to bathrooms so workers feel confident in drinking plenty of liquids. But while more tools to avoid heat illness are coming to market, companies are not racing to adopt them. Many do not have adequate heat stress prevention programs at all. “There needs to be an acceptance by the business community, the public community, about the ramifications of heat stress. So I would hope that if we continue, instead of having 20% of businesses having an adequate heat stress prevention program, in 10 years, we'll have 80%,” Perkison said. Adopting cooling gadgets as part of prevention programs faces hurdles. Aside from concerns over efficacy, there is also the problem of measurement. Perkison said it is hard to tell when someone is struggling with heat before symptoms start. “There's not a lab value that we can get to identify when somebody has heat stress,” he said, which means that it is hard for companies to keep track of workers' health and know when to take action, unless they use a digital monitor like the one provided by GreenTeg. Mike Beavers, the Tennessee-based inventor of the CülCan, said he has been surprised by the diversity of his client base, including the many people with multiple sclerosis who are using it. The disease of the central nervous system causes symptoms such as numbness and trouble walking which, for some, can worsen in heat. “We had one guy write us a full one page letter handwritten that basically he was bragging about the fact that he could actually go out and cut his yard now,” Beavers said.
