Host Susan Lambert hits the home stretch of her comprehension-focused season of Science of Reading: The Podcast with a reflective episode based on her presentation at this year's Plain Talk About Literacy and Learning conference. Instead of being joined by a guest, Susan breaks down some of her biggest takeaways from this season—explaining how reading comprehension is far more intricate than the ability to decode words on a page, and detailing how the expert guests this season helped illustrate all of comprehension's amazing complexities. Whether you hear her Plain Talk conversation live or not, this episode captures those same insights in a format you can revisit anytime.Show notes:Submit your literacy questions!Access free, high-quality resources—including our recent Science of Reading: The Podcast Essentials: “Comprehension” episode—at our companion professional learning page.Download our Comprehension 101 bundle: Access free comprehension resources, including ebooks and on-demand professional learning.Listen to Season 2 of Amplify's Beyond My Years podcast.Join our community Facebook group.Connect with Susan Lambert.Quotes:"Comprehension is an active process.

It requires the reader to update and revise their understanding as new information is encountered." —Susan Lambert"What constitutes good comprehension is relative, and it depends on who is reading the text and why they're reading it." —Susan Lambert"The components of comprehension don't develop in isolation. They bootstrap and support each other throughout a reader's development." —Susan LambertTimestamps*:00:00 Introduction: Building blocks for deep comprehension04:00 Common themes from guests' definitions of comprehension07:00 The simple view of reading10:00 Oral language, syntax and fluency13:00 Syntax is the critical missing piece needed to improve reading comprehension outcomes16:00 Fluency is a critical but often overlooked prerequisite to reading comprehension21:00 The components of comprehension don't develop in isolation22:00 Closing thoughts o our comprehension focused season*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute
Matt Bitzegaio and Noah Barnett discuss how nonprofit leaders should think about AI implementation in their organizations. They explore the difference between AI as an adjacent tool versus AI embedded within existing workflows, using DonorDock's "Otto" feature as an example. The hosts provide practical advice for nonprofit leaders, including taking inventory of current AI usage, establishing organizational policies, and identifying processes where AI can drive efficiency, effectiveness, and expansion. They emphasize that AI should augment human expertise rather than replace it, particularly in areas like donor relationships and storytelling. The conversation covers both the opportunities and anxieties surrounding AI adoption, offering a framework for leaders to gradually integrate AI tools while maintaining focus on authentic human connections with supporters.

Let's be honest. The world feels a little nuts right now. Divided. Loud. Unsettled. Tired. And organizations don't exist outside of that. They absorb it. So in this episode, we ask a simple but uncomfortable question: What does OD need to be when the world feels like it's coming apart? And maybe even harder… How do we act hopeful when we don't always feel hopeful ourselves? That's not fluff. That's leadership. Instead of offering grand theories, we get practical. We suggest starting here: Stop trying to fix everything. Start by finding the energy. In every organization — even the messy ones — there are pockets of good energy. People who still care. Teams that still want to build something better. Conversations that feel constructive instead of draining. If you think in systems, you know this is true. OD's job? Go find that energy. Name it. Amplify it. Build from it. We also talk about diagnosing energy instead of just diagnosing problems. Ask: • Where do people feel most alive? • Where do meetings feel productive? • Where is there momentum — even if it's small? Energy is data. And then we double down on participation. Because when people help shape the way forward, they create the hope they're looking for. Participation isn't soft. It's catalytic. We close with a practical exercise inspired by Power vs. Force by David Hawkins — a simple way to surface the life-giving energies (like courage and willingness) versus the draining ones (like fear and blame) that may be shaping your culture more than you realize. Consider this episode another tool for your toolkit. Not because we have all the answers. But because in chaotic times, OD isn't just about alignment and strategy. It's about stewarding energy. And if OD can't create hope… Who will?

Recently, Peggy attended the Tandem 2026 meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. While there, she sat down as a guest on the Eurofins Viracor Transplant Radio podcast. We wanted to share that interview with you. If you'd like to follow their podcast, you can do so at the links below. We learn today from Peggy Burkhard that transplant is not just a medical experience — it's an emotional, creative, and community‑driven journey that patients, caregivers, and families navigate together. Peggy shares how the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link has evolved since its founding in 1992, offering a wide range of free programs that support patients from diagnosis through survivorship. She highlights the often‑overlooked emotional load carried by caregivers and explains how "the Link" (nbmtLINK), builds connection through healing arts sessions, book clubs, lunch‑and‑learn programs, and survivorship education. We hear about their thriving “Marrow Masters” podcast with 160+ episodes and 40,000 downloads, as well as their expanding resources such as Spanish‑language materials, financial guidance books, and partnerships with groups like the GVHD Alliance and Blood Cancer United. Peggy also gives an inside look at GVHD Awareness Day and the organization's growing social media footprint, which helps elevate patient voices and practical wisdom to the global transplant community.

Urgent care isn't just a convenient alternative to the ER anymore. It's becoming a critical piece of the healthcare access puzzle — and the Urgent Care Association is working to make sure operators have a real voice in where the industry goes next.In this episode, we sit down with Steve Sellars, CEO of the Urgent Care Association (UCA), for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of urgent care, the policy and reimbursement pressures impacting operators, and what UCA is doing right now to strengthen the urgent care ecosystem nationwide.With 30+ years in healthcare leadership — including time on the payer side, inside a large health system, and 20 years in urgent care operations and joint ventures — Steve brings a rare “whole-system” perspective. We unpack what he's seeing in 2026, what urgent care leaders should be preparing for, and why advocacy, quality, and integration into the broader healthcare continuum are no longer optional.You'll also hear a preview of what to expect at the upcoming UCA Convention in Chicago, why the theme “Amplify” matters, and how operators can get more value from the exhibit hall, the networking, and the policy work happening behind the scenes.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! In this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses the Purple Patch Run Squad program. He highlights the success of Pasquale Romano, a 60-year-old athlete who achieved a half IRONMAN PR and first age group win. Dixon breaks down running performance into five components: cardiovascular conditioning, muscular resilience, tissue durability, economy of movement, and biomechanics. He emphasizes the importance of frequent, easy running, strength training, and leveraging multi-sport workouts to build resilience and reduce injury risk. Dixon also cautions against over-reliance on super shoes, recommending neutral shoes for daily use and limited use of super shoes for speed work and racing.

In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Susan Lambert is joined by Kristen McMaster, Ph.D., Guy Bond Chair in Reading and professor of special education in the Department of Educational Psychology at University of Minnesota. Together, they explore how reading comprehension isn't just about what's on the page—it's also about what's not there—and share practical insights on how to support students in developing inference skills. Susan and Kristen also discuss the dual processes of activation and integration when making inferences; the distinction between teaching students to process text actively versus teaching students to apply comprehension strategies; and different types of inferences, including causal, bridging, and elaborative.Show notes:Submit your questions to our listener mailbagAccess free, high-quality resources—including our recent Science of Reading: The Podcast Essentials "Comprehension" episode—at our companion professional learning page Download our Comprehension 101 bundle: Access free comprehension resources, including e-books, and on-demand professional learningConnect with Kristen McMasterLearn more about Kristen McMasterListen to Season 2 of Amplify's Beyond My Years podcastJoin our community Facebook groupConnect with Susan LambertQuotes:"Inferencing is really central to comprehension.

No one succeeds alone. Behind every spotlight are people introducing, guiding, and amplifying. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor shifts the focus from life on stage to the people behind the scenes who make everything possible. After a recent Call it Closed Realty conference, he reflected on how many pivotal roles are played by individuals most people never see. And from that reflection came a powerful framework: there are three types of people you need in your corner. First, you need someone who introduces you. Doors rarely open themselves. Someone has to believe in you enough to mention your name in rooms you're not in. Those introductions can change careers, trajectories, and opportunities. But they only matter if you perform once you get there. Appreciate the people who, like Cathleen Lewis, open doors for you and be that person for someone else. Second, you need someone who guides you. Literal guidance. Emotional guidance. Strategic guidance. In large arenas or complex seasons of life, it's easy to get lost. The right guide, like Ally Kidman, brings clarity, direction, and energy. They help you navigate the space and elevate your confidence. And just as important, you must strive to be that source of energy and direction for others. Third, you need someone who amplifies you. Behind every polished performance are people running audio, video, logistics, and unseen systems. Without amplification, even the strongest message goes unheard. In your life, this could be someone who shares your work, champions your ideas, or supports your visibility. Amplifiers make impact scalable. The deeper lesson isn't just to look for these people. It's to become them. Growth isn't a solo sport. Introduce others. Guide others. Amplify others. That's how momentum multiplies. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why no one grows alone The power of strategic introductions The value of guidance and positive energy Why amplification determines reach How to identify these three people in your life Why becoming these three roles accelerates growth Featured Quote "Behind every spotlight are people introducing, guiding, and amplifying."

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley M. Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is a powerful compilation of conversations exploring one central question: What happens when AI becomes the gatekeeper of opportunity? The marketplace is changing faster than most people are willing to admit. Consumers aren't just Googling anymore, they're asking AI. And if AI becomes the gatekeeper of recommendations, then your personal brand isn't optional… it's survival. This compilation episode doesn't just discuss branding strategies. It challenges you to consider: Who are you becoming in the process of building? Are you grounded enough to lead in volatility? Will AI reflect your values — or someone else's? The AI wave is here. Will it amplify you — or replace you? Get to know Stephen Scoggins more: https://stephenscoggins.com/ If you want to see the full episodes of the clips shown here, click the links below:

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! In this episode, Jeff Dolan, an international executive at Starbucks, shares his journey from a busy executive to a high-performing triathlete. Initially, he struggled with balancing his demanding role with his passion for triathlon. After joining Purple Patch Fitness, he learned to focus on quality training over quantity, integrating nutrition, sleep, and recovery. This approach led to significant improvements in his performance, including PRs in 70.3 and IRONMAN races.

In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Timothy Shanahan, Ph.D., distinguished professor emeritus from the University of Illinois at Chicago, joins Susan Lambert to distinguish between reading comprehension, learning from a text, and the process of learning to read. He compares learning to read with athletic training, explaining that just as athletes need to vary their workout intensities to maximize their strength, students need to vary their text difficulty to maximize their comprehension, reading skills, and overall learning. Together, Timothy and Susan also discuss why reading comprehension is an ethical act and the power of simply rereading to increase comprehension.Show notes:Submit your questions on comprehension!

Fanbases are some of the most powerful forces on the planet.They show up. They buy the tickets. They travel across countries and time zones. They memorize lyrics, study interviews, hunt for Easter eggs, and turn the smallest detail into an entire universe of meaning. They collaborate, they organize, and they care deeply.Fan communities are savvy. They are smart. And when they are invited in, they create extraordinary momentum.Adam Met, best known as the “A” of indie-pop band AJR, believes that this kind of energy can extend far beyond concerts or comment sections. He is asking a bigger question. What if we harnessed that same passion, creativity, imagination, and sense of belonging to improve the communities we live in?Adam has spent years studying how to move people from curiosity to action. He's also a climate activist, the founder of the nonprofit Planet Reimagined, an adjunct professor at Columbia University, and the author of the bestselling book Amplify: How to Use the Power of Connection to Engage, Take Action, and Build a Better World.In our conversation, Adam explains how the same principles that make music meaningful - ownership, storytelling, participation, and belonging - can be applied to social movements, civic engagement, and climate action, to name a few. From designing fan-first concert experiences to rethinking how we engage people around complex issues, Adam argues that emotion is the engine of progress.This episode isn't really about music.And it's not really about climate either.It's about how we bring people together, help them feel invested, and create experiences that inspire them to act.This… is A Bit of Optimism.---------------------------To buy Adam's book Amplify: How to Use the Power of Connection to Engage, Take Action, and Build a Better World, head to: https://www.adammet.net/amplifyIf you want to learn more about Adam's climate work, check out: https://www.planetreimagined.comAnd don't forget to stream AJR's latest EP, What No One's Thinking: https://www.ajrbrothers.com---------------------------

I'm going to be a good dad.""I truly believe we get one shot at this life, like just one.

1. United Nations Funding Crisis The United Nations is facing financial collapse because the United States has reduced or withdrawn funding. This is a move to stop funding “woke” & ideological programs. The UN is ineffective, bureaucratic, and overly dependent on U.S. taxpayer money. Symbolic examples (turned-off escalators, reduced heating) are used to emphasize desperation and mismanagement. The U.S. withdrew from 66 international organizations and treaties, framed as: Cost-saving Anti-globalist Pro-American sovereignty Many of these organizations are described as obscure, wasteful, or hostile to U.S. interests. The underlying message is that global institutions dilute U.S. power without delivering value. 2. Media Merger and National Security Concerns Focus shifts to a major media merger (Netflix / Warner Bros / Paramount context). Concerns raised include: Foreign influence, especially money from the Middle East or China National security implications Loss of American cultural control The argument is that entertainment media shapes public perception more than news. Hollywood and major streaming platforms are portrayed as: Predominantly left-wing Hostile to conservative viewpoints Engaged in ideological indoctrination Executives are challenged on whether their content fairly represents conservatives. The inability to name conservative-oriented programming is used as evidence of bias. The merger is framed as dangerous because it could: Concentrate cultural and political influence Amplify a single ideological viewpoint The Department of Justice and FCC are identified as key gatekeepers. The timeline for approval is described as months to years, with high stakes for media freedom. 3. Save America Act (Voter ID Legislation) Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Photo ID to vote The bill is common-sense and widely supported, including among minority voters. Democrats, particularly Chuck Schumer, are accused of: Using “Jim Crow” rhetoric to scare voters Ignoring polling that shows broad support for voter ID Opposition is attributed to: Desire to preserve election vulnerabilities Partisan strategy rather than public opinion Ballot harvesting is described as inherently vulnerable to abuse. Examples (nursing homes, paid operatives) are used to argue: Elderly and vulnerable voters can be exploited Ballots can be selectively discarded The Carter–Baker Commission is cited to legitimize these concerns. Acknowledges internal Republican resistance and logistical challenges. Emphasizes urgency and political pressure as tools to pass the bill. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Today, we have a special guest on the podcast, Keith Lucas, a startup advisor specializing in product, growth, people and culture. Keith led product and engineering at Roblox, helping scale its infrastructure, product offerings, team and business. Most recently, Keith published a book entitled Impact: How to Inspire, Align, and Amplify Innovative Teams. All book proceeds go to charities to help young entrepreneurs, so make sure you check the link in the notes and grab the book today.In our chat, Keith is going to walk us through key concepts in the book, surrounding centering your team around the vision and mission of what you are driving towards, from recruiting to execution to "coaching out".Questions:What was your goal in writing this book? What were you hoping to accomplish?In Chapter 1, you mention purpose inspiring action. How does aligning to purpose drive urgency, without resulting in burnout or being an "antiquated mandate", like you mention in Chapter 2?You state "Culture is what you do, not what you say"... How does a leader's daily behavior - especially around micromanagement or decision-making speed - define the team's realized values, overriding the company's codified ones?I found the idea of The Cascade (Chapter 5) interesting, mapping core beliefs to execution alignment. In terms of feedback, what is the difference between "belief busting" and "hypothesis busting" feedback? How should leaders respond to each in order to maintain trust and agility?How often should entrepreneurial teams deliberately challenge and re-org autonomous pods to optimize for agility and opportunity, over long term stability?Now this is interesting - the "okay contributor", you define as a person who meets standards in all areas but shows no exceptionalism. Why is this person more damaging to a culture of mastery, than the high talent disrupter?What is a Mission Athlete? When recruiting, how does preparing a vision doc for a role shift the recruiting conversation from transactional to one focused on strategic alignment and ownership?You mention in Chapter 8 that compensation can be a distraction. What core mistakes do scaling startups make with compensation that turn it from a non-issue into an energy-sapping problem that erodes retention?You define Coaching Out as the intentional process of protecting the productive from the disruptive, treating an exit as a non-personal assessment that maintains decency and clarity. Can you describe the GYOR continuum?Why should leaders avoid formal PIP's when dealing with a struggling team member? What must replace it to ensure accountability and decency?SponsorsTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiAlcorEquitybeeTerms and conditions: Equitybee executes private financing contracts (PFCs) allowing investors a certain claim to ESO upon liquidation event; Could limit your profits.
