Katie Porter's Surge in the California Governor RaceWith Kamala Harris opting out of a gubernatorial run, Katie Porter is reaping the benefits. New polling from Politico shows Porter pulling ahead, with 30 percent of Harris's former supporters now backing her. Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra trail behind at 16 and 11 percent, respectively. Porter's advantage comes from her visibility and defined ideology — she's well known and clearly positioned on the progressive spectrum.California's jungle primary system means all candidates run on the same ballot, and the top two — regardless of party — face off in the general. Right now, two Republicans are splitting their share of the vote, which adds up to something in the thirties. Porter is in the driver's seat, but with that comes the expectation of incoming fire. Her reputation for detail and sharp questioning in Congress could cut both ways — she's admired for precision but rumored to have a temper and staff issues that may resurface.If you ask me, I'd rather be in her shoes than anyone else's in this race. Governor Porter is no longer a long shot — she's a top contender. Sure, she's not universally loved, and her style is a sharp contrast to someone like Gavin Newsom, who leans more on charisma than policy depth. But Porter's grounded, process-oriented approach might resonate with voters ready for a different kind of leadership. It's early — but she's clearly in the lead.The Freedom Caucus ExodusChip Roy is heading home — not just to Texas, but into the state attorney general race. He's leaving behind his role in the House and with it, another domino falls in the dissolution of the Freedom Caucus. He's not alone. Byron Donalds is going for Florida governor. Barry Moore wants a Senate seat in Alabama. Ralph Norman is aiming for South Carolina's governor's mansion. The list goes on — and the pattern is clear.These were the hardliners — the names you heard when Speaker fights broke out or when high-stakes votes were in play. Now, they're moving on, seeking promotions or exits. The Freedom Caucus' influence, once loud and obstructive, is quietly fading. They all bent the knee to Trump eventually, and now it seems like they're cashing out or repositioning for relevance in state politics.In Texas, the AG job is a powerful one. Ken Paxton used it as a springboard and wielded it aggressively. If Roy wins, expect more of that hard-edged, action-first governance. But nationally, their exodus signals something more — the end of a chapter. The Freedom Caucus isn't what it was, and its main voices are scattering. Their watch has ended.Tulsi Gabbard's Deep State OverhaulTulsi Gabbard, now Director of National Intelligence, has unveiled ODNI 2.0 — a major restructuring plan that slashes staff and consolidates units focused on countering foreign influence and cyber threats. The goal is to cut $700 million annually — a bold move, but one in line with this administration's mission to slim down government operations. It's another signal that this White House doesn't operate under old assumptions.The intelligence world, long a target of Trumpian criticism, is being gutted — not just for size but for perceived bias. There's a strong undercurrent here about the so-called deep state and its relationship with the press. This move isn't just administrative — it's cultural. It's about information control. Gabbard is targeting the pipelines that leak classified narratives to shape public perception.Living in D.C., you feel the impact of this. It's a company town — when the company is laying off hundreds, the town shifts. Longer happy hours. People breaking leases. Uncertainty hanging in the air. But if you're in this administration, it's not about sympathy. It's about loyalty — or the lack thereof. And for many who see Trump as the duly elected CEO of the U.S. government, trimming the fat is justice, not politics.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:43 - Interview with Alex Isenstadt00:27:40 - Update00:28:54 - Katie Porter00:31:49 - Chip Roy00:34:28 - Gabbard Cuts00:41:23 - Interview with Evan Scrimshaw01:31:52 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

We step into the world of independent film with the release of Director's Cut, a project close to home, reflecting the passion, risks, and creative struggles that define the industry. Along the way, we explore the evolving landscape of streaming, AI, and the art of telling stories that stand out in an oversaturated market.   One of the highlights of this milestone episode is our conversation with the multi-talented Louie Lombardi. Known for his memorable roles on screen, Louie brings equal passion to his latest venture: Ava Lou's pizza truck, which he runs with his daughter Ava. With humor and heart, he shares the lessons of family entrepreneurship — from teaching financial savvy across generations to navigating the cultural quirks of language, tradition, and taste.   In a twist that bridges past and present, we also reveal new developments surrounding the Italian American Civil Rights League, adding another layer of cultural and historical significance to this episode.   No celebration would be complete without reflecting on the craft of filmmaking itself. We discuss the collaborative spirit required to bring independent visions to life, the strategies behind modern marketing, and personal stories from our own creative journeys.      Louis Lombardi SOCIALS: Instagram: @louislombardi TikTok: @louislombardi Facebook: @louislombardi X: @louislombardi HIS WEBSITE: www.louislombardi.com www.directorscutmovie.com LINK TO DIRECTOR'S CUT https://www.directorscutmovie.com/store    Don Capria SOCIALS: Instagram: @doncapria TikTok: @doncapria Facebook: doncapria X: @doncapria110 HIS WEBSITE: www.onetencrew.com www.colombobook.com   EVENTS:  DARK EXPO oct 24 & 25  Colombobook.com

Krishna Surendra is the CEO of HR Cloud, a human resources software company that offers tools for recruiting, onboarding, employee engagement, performance management, HRIS, and internal communications — all designed to automate HR processes and enhance workplace culture. He joined HR Cloud in 2016 as Director of Engineering, advanced to Chief Technology Officer in 2018, and took on the role of CEO in 2021. With a background in computer science, he brings deep technical expertise and leadership to his role. Under Krishna's direction, HR Cloud continues to scale its offerings in employee engagement, onboarding automation, and HRIS solutions to drive productivity and retention in organizations. In this episode… Many organizations struggle to deliver a seamless and engaging employee experience from hiring to offboarding. Generic HR tools often fail to adapt to unique workflows, resulting in inefficient processes, poor communication, and disengaged staff. How can companies modernize their HR systems to be both efficient and deeply human-centered? Krishna Surendra, an expert in HR technology, shares strategies for building customizable, automated HR workflows that span the entire employee lifecycle. Krishna emphasizes the importance of gathering ongoing customer feedback, prioritizing modules based on real demand, and integrating with existing systems rather than reinventing every feature. He also outlines practical ways to increase engagement — such as two-way communication channels, spot recognition with rewards, and adapting solutions for unique use cases like deskless workers or younger staff who prefer SMS notifications — while avoiding common onboarding mistakes like failing to document processes or track task completion. In this episode of Inspired Insider, Dr. Jeremy Weisz interviews Krishna Surendra, CEO of HR Cloud, about transforming the employee journey through adaptable HR software. Krishna discusses using customer-driven product development, enhancing engagement through recognition and feedback tools, and integrating with payroll systems. He also shares insights on prioritizing new features, addressing unique client needs, and lessons learned from build vs. buy decisions.

When most programs launch player development, they fall into one trap: copycatting.They see what another school is doing—maybe Clemson's Paul Journey—and try to carbon copy it. But every university, every roster, and every city is unique. Copycatting leads to programs that look good on paper but fail to make a real impact on athletes.In this episode, I'll walk you through the four steps to avoid the copycat trap and build a program that's genuine to YOU and your athletes:Step 1: Define your foundation — What impact do you want to make?Step 2: Identify your resources — What's already available on campus and in your city?Step 3: Decide how you'll execute — Who's involved, how often, and what structure works best?Step 4: Put it in writing — A clear, strategic plan that earns buy-in.Whether you're a new Director of Player Development, a coach, or an administrator, this episode will help you design a program that's intentional, sustainable, and impactful.

In Session 309, I welcome Dr. Lyndsy Cofield, Director of Client Success at Apollo Behavior, to share her unique journey in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and her groundbreaking work training law enforcement officers on autism awareness. Dr. Cofield's path into ABA began with an undergraduate degree in speech pathology, later becoming an RBT and eventually a BCBA. Today, she oversees intake and marketing at a growing clinic network in Georgia while also dedicating her research to improving police interactions with individuals on the autism spectrum.

Parallels between gaining parents' trust in ABA and gaining officers' trust in training. Police Academy Experiences Dr. Cofield's firsthand experiences at a Citizens Police Academy: ride-alongs, call centers, and unit training. Surprising insights into the hidden volume of crime and emergencies in her community.

Key officer behaviors that worked: patience, spacing, and communication. Why both lecture-based training and Behavioral Skills Training (BST) are equally effective. Ongoing Autism and Law Enforcement Research Insights from Dr. Cofield's dissertation (available on PubQuest). The need for additional studies and real-world ride-along experiences. Encouragement for ABA professionals to get involved in police training efforts. Why This Conversation Matters The intersection of autism, ABA, and law enforcement is a critical area where misunderstandings can have serious consequences.

Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by PF & QF's Vice President of Government Affairs Ariel Wiegard and Director of Government Affairs Andrew Schmidt to attempt answering the difficult question, “Will there be a new Farm Bill in 2025?” The trio also discuss the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and what the absence of a new Farm Bill means for the crown jewel of voluntary conservation programs. Episode Highlights: • Wiegard provides a recap of recent efforts in Congress to sell public land as part of the budget reconciliation process, and how PF & QF supporters and the broad outdoors community successfully helped push back on that effort earlier this summer. • Schmidt provides an overview of the conservation victories within the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” including an increase of funding for Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP), as well as the integration of remaining IRA funding into the Farm Bill conservation baseline. • Schmidt also details the new “CRP Improvement and Flexibility Act” introduced by U.S. Senators John Thune (R-SD), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Jerry Moran (R-KS), and Tina Smith (D-MN). This proposed legislation includes many of PF & QF priorities for improving CRP, making the program more attractive to landowners and beneficial for wildlife.

David Hawig never set out to work in blockchain. He began his career in health tech, drawn to the potential of scaling impactful solutions. But it was the promise of a more transparent and user-controlled internet that ultimately led him to the Web3 Foundation, where he now serves as Director of Ecosystem Development and Investor Relations. In our conversation on the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, David shares why Web3 is not just a trend or buzzword, but a complete rethink of how digital systems should function. He describes a world where users own their data, can verify transactions without relying on central authorities, and can move between services without friction. To David, the Web3 movement is not about hype or speculation. It's about enabling a future where the internet is built on truth, not trust. At the heart of the Web3 Foundation's work is Polkadot, a protocol designed to solve the scalability and interoperability challenges that plague many early blockchain networks. David explains that Polkadot's sharded infrastructure allows workloads to be split across participants in a trustless way. This setup not only enables more transactions but positions the ecosystem to support millions of users as mainstream adoption accelerates. That acceleration, he argues, is already happening. Thanks to new regulations like the Clarity Act and Genius Act in the US, enterprise adoption is becoming a reality. Where Web3 once attracted only startups and crypto-native communities, today major companies, including sports brands and entertainment groups, are actively building in the space. Unlike earlier efforts that felt more like PR stunts, these companies now see tangible benefits. Web3 can deliver faster, cheaper, and more flexible digital services, available 24/7, with no lock-in to single vendors. David is especially passionate about removing the barriers that have made Web3 feel intimidating to the average user. While early blockchain projects often demanded technical knowledge and wallet key management, he sees a future where users interact with Web3 products as easily as they would a mobile app. Behind the scenes, cryptography and decentralization are doing the heavy lifting, but from the user's perspective, the experience is seamless. One area David is particularly excited about is decentralized storage. As more businesses realize the risks of relying on centralized cloud giants, alternatives are emerging that offer both cost advantages and greater control. He sees this as a critical part of the broader shift toward self-sovereign infrastructure. When asked if large corporations truly understand the scale of the disruption ahead, David is cautious but optimistic. Many established players, he says, still underestimate how quickly network effects can take hold. Once enough users and companies move into Web3 ecosystems, the old models will no longer be competitive. Whether it's financial services, social media, or identity management, the shift toward user-owned infrastructure will be difficult to reverse. Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, David points to the upcoming Jam upgrade as a major milestone. This next evolution of the Polkadot network is designed to dramatically improve scalability, supporting not just crypto-native transactions but also broader use cases in gaming, ticketing, payments, and more. The goal is clear: create a robust, low-cost, interoperable infrastructure capable of supporting millions of users across different networks and applications. Before signing off, David leaves listeners with a recommendation. He suggests reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, a book he returns to often when reflecting on motivation and purpose. It's a fitting choice for someone working at the edge of one of the most transformative shifts in modern tech. The Web3 Foundation is not just funding protocols or building tools. It's laying the groundwork for a future where the internet belongs to everyone. And if David's predictions are right, that future may arrive faster than we think.

"I believe women cannot protect what they do not know. If we are illiterate about our own bodies, if we don't understand how they're designed to work in a state of health, we are deprived of our right to true informed consent in healthcare decisions. And this is never more critical than in decisions about reproductive health, including birth control." This is particularly true with young women with intellectual disabilities. Katie Vidmar who is not only an expert in menstrual cycle literacy, but also has a daughter who has Intellectual disabilities will walk us through how we can help a young woman understand the gift and goodness of her body. All humans deserve to be honored in the goodness of there own bodies, to be given the same respect and value as any person, despite their intellectual challenges. Katie will show how we can serve this population with the dignity that women with these intellectual challenges deserve. It is a beautiful conversation that will touch many of you who know a young women in this siut This isn't about being “anti–birth control.” It's about being pro–informed consent. Women deserve the freedom to make choices rooted in knowledge, not fear or misinformation. Liberation begins when we discover the brilliance of our bodies and learn to work with them—not against them. And the truth is, we already have models for doing this. Body Literacy. Cycle Tracking. Menstrual Health Triage. Simplified Fertility Awareness. These tools exist, and they've been brought successfully to under-resourced populations. Now is the time to scale them. Why? Because every system in the body is interconnected and ordered toward reproductive health. Bones, muscles, the cardiovascular system, digestion, all of it supports the capacity to create and sustain life. So when we address the root causes of reproductive health disorders, the ripple effects extend far beyond fertility. Healing hormonal imbalance, for example, doesn't just regulate cycles it protects a women's health. This is why root-cause women's health should be the crown jewel of healthcare reform. Not a side conversation, central to it. ✨ About Katie E. Vidmar Katie E. Vidmar, MTS, is a Body Literacy and Fertility Awareness Educator from North Dakota. She's dedicated to bringing holistic women's health to underserved populations. She created Elevate, a training program that equips healthcare professionals with tools for introducing Body Literacy, Cycle Tracking, Fertility Awareness, and root-cause menstrual health care.

On July 23, the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion that many are regarding as a groundbreaking legal moment for the fight against climate change. But what was included in the actual opinion? What does this mean for the future of climate litigation? And most importantly, what will this mean for the future of climate action? To answer all these questions and more, we talk to Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre, the Director of Global Climate Change Litigation at the Sabin Center. She explains how this decision sets a new precedent in international law by recognizing the extensive legal obligations countries have in combating climate change. We explore how the opinion integrates customary international law, human rights, and environmental treaties, offering a robust framework for future climate cases. Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre also details the fascinating backstory of how a class project from the University of South Pacific in Vanuatu evolved into a global movement, culminating in this historic opinion. She shares insight into the legal community's reaction, the potential ripple effects on domestic and international cases, and the strengthened legal arguments that could emerge from this decision. We also explore the role science played in informing the court's decision, particularly the emphasis on the 1.5-degree threshold as a legal standard. Finally, we discuss the broader implications for fossil fuel regulation, climate reparations, and the responsibilities of both developed and developing nations. Dr. Maria Antonia Tigre is the Director of Global Climate Change Litigation at the Sabin Center. She manages the Sabin Center's Global Climate Change Litigation Database with the support of the Sabin Center's Peer Review Network of Climate Litigation.

The journey of Rocky Costanzo is a testament to the raw, unpolished path of independent filmmaking. Beginning as an actor and extra on shows like The Wonder Years, he quickly discovered his true passion behind the camera. Without formal film school, Rocky turned to public access television as his training ground, learning through experimentation, trial, and error. From lighting with hardware store lamps to filming with rollerblades for dolly shots, his early projects embodied the scrappy resilience of indie cinema. Each film became a classroom, teaching him the essentials of lighting, sound, storytelling, and directing actors with trust rather than control.As Rocky's career evolved, so did his perspective on the changing landscape of filmmaking. He acknowledged how technology has lowered production barriers while making distribution more challenging, emphasizing that “story, story, story—that's what lasts.” His recent project, Ditch Party, highlights this philosophy by focusing less on spectacle and more on the intimate, human drama of students trapped during a tragedy. For Rocky, filmmaking is not just about mastering craft—it is about persistence, passion, and the willingness to embrace limitations as opportunities for creativity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Dr. Nir Barzilai for a conversation that turned out to be both lively and thought-provoking. His decades of research on centenarians, biological age, and the hallmarks of aging have shaped how we think about longevity—and what's possible when we start targeting aging itself, not just individual diseases. We get into the science behind why some people live 20–30 years longer and healthier, and what it means to measure the biological age of individual organs. But we also hit a few sparks—especially when it comes to nutraceuticals and the role of metformin in prevention. I don't agree with everything you'll hear, and I followed up with Dr. Barzilai afterward to unpack some of the more provocative claims. We may just need a second round for this one... stay tuned.

"I envision Horn Lake being the hub of North Mississippi when it comes to animal welfare. I want my animal shelter to be the place that people model their strategies after.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and the Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants. In this episode, host Stacy LeBaron sits down with Glen Andrews, Director of the Horn Lake Animal Shelter in North Mississippi. With over two decades in animal welfare and experience in virtually every shelter role imaginable—from event coordinator to veterinary assistant to director—Glen brings a unique "Renaissance rescuer" perspective to municipal animal services. His journey from Manhattan's urban animal control to rural Mississippi's challenges offers valuable insights into adapting shelter practices across different regional cultures and community needs. Glen shares how he transformed a small, antiquated municipal shelter into a thriving no-kill facility while simultaneously doubling intake numbers. The conversation covers his innovative approaches to community engagement, including low-cost spay/neuter programs, pet food pantries, youth volunteer corps, and strategic community cat management. Glen discusses the importance of removing the enforcement stigma from municipal shelters and positioning them as community resources that help people keep their pets rather than judging pet owners in crisis. Whether you're working in a large urban shelter or a small rural facility, this episode provides actionable strategies for building community trust, implementing sustainable programs with limited resources, and achieving life-saving outcomes. Glen's emphasis on understanding local demographics, strategic partnerships, and the power of microchipping offers a roadmap for municipal shelters looking to modernize their approach and better serve both animals and the people who care about them. Press play now for: How Glen's diverse shelter experience prepared him to lead comprehensive reform at a small municipal facility The cultural differences in pet ownership between urban North and rural South, and how to adapt programming accordingly Strategies for removing the enforcement stigma from municipal shelters and building community trust Details on Horn Lake's innovative programs: low-cost spay/neuter, pet food pantry, and youth volunteer corps Glen's data-driven approach to community cats and achieving 100% more TNR surgeries than neighboring areas How to achieve no-kill status while doubling intake through strategic partnerships and enhanced marketing The game-changing impact of mandatory microchipping and achieving 20% above national average for return-to-owner rates Glen's vision for microchipping every animal in Horn Lake and creating a model for other communities Practical advice for small municipal shelters on accessing grants and proving community need The importance of municipal leadership support and how to work within government structures Resources mentioned: Horn Lake Animal Shelter Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/HornLakeAnimalShelter/) Horn Lake Animal Shelter website (https://www.hornlake.org/departments/AnimalShelter) Horn Lake Animal Shelter phone: (662) 393-5857 Horn Lake Animal Shelter Petfinder page (https://www.petfinder.com/member/us/ms/horn-lake/friends-of-horn-lake-animal-shelter-ms71/) Maddie's Fund website (https://www.maddiesfund.org/) Maddie's Pet Forum (https://forum.maddiesfund.org/home) Maddie's University education courses (https://university.maddiesfund.org/) Best Friends Animal Society website (https://bestfriends.org/) Community Cats Podcast website (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/) Maddie's Fund grant programs (https://www.maddiesfund.org/) Sponsor Links: Maddie's Fund (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/maddies623) Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/virox) Follow & Review We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein welcomes Capital Campaign Pro's Director of Engagement, Steven Shattuck, to explore how nonprofit organizations can approach artificial intelligence with confidence, strategy, and purpose. Whether you're skeptical of AI or eager to experiment, this conversation unpacks what it means to use AI responsibly while staying focused on relationships and results.Steven, author of Robots Make Bad Fundraisers, shares his perspective on how AI fits into modern nonprofit work: not as a replacement for the human element, but as a set of tools that can improve efficiency and free up time for the work that truly matters.Topics Covered in This Episode:How to assess your organization's needs before adopting any AI toolsWhy nonprofits often lag in tech adoption, and how to overcome those barriersThe importance of having an internal “tech champion” to evaluate and experiment with new toolsReal-world examples of AI helping with campaign planning, meeting prep, donor communication, and volunteer trainingWhy Capital Campaign Pro developed Andie, an AI tool trained specifically for capital campaign strategy, and how clients are using it to save hours of time each weekPractical safety reminders when using AI tools, including data privacy best practicesWhat tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and others are good at (and when to use each)Throughout the conversation, Amy and Steven emphasize that AI should never replace the strategic thinking and relationship-building at the heart of fundraising. Instead, it should support the work of nonprofit leaders, making it faster to draft documents, generate ideas, and prepare for donor interactions. From customizing gift agreements to training new staff or board members, AI is already making a difference for organizations of all sizes.Notable Highlights:“Donors give to outcomes—not organizations. AI can help us communicate those outcomes more clearly and more efficiently.”“You don't need to jump on every new tech trend, but ignoring AI altogether could cost you valuable time and energy.”“The first step is to check what you already have. Your CRM or other tools may already offer AI-powered features.”“Our clients aren't replacing advisors with AI—they're using AI between meetings to move faster and make better decisions.”Steven also reflects on the current moment in nonprofit tech: AI isn't a passing trend. It's a shift in how we work.Key Takeaways for Nonprofit Leaders:Start with your goals. Choose tools based on your actual pain points, not the latest trendLook for low-risk opportunities to experiment, like creating first drafts of agendas or donor lettersAssign someone - staff, volunteer, or board member - to lead your internal AI explorationTrain tools with trusted data and frameworks to get relevant, high-quality responsesBe mindful of privacy, especially when using free public AI toolsCollaborate with consultants and vendors who are tech-forward and actively integrating new toolsWhether you're running a $60 million campaign or just beginning to think about how to modernize your systems, this episode offers approachable, practical ideas to help you get started (or go deeper) with AI in your organization.Resources Mentioned:Capital Campaign Pro's online toolkit and Andie, the AI assistantSteven's book: Robots Make Bad FundraisersAI tools discussed: ChatGPT, Claude by Anthropic, PerplexityFree blog articles, webinars, and tools available at capitalcampaignpro.com
