In today's episode, Larry and Cody expand on last week's discussion about trust and move into the next critical phase of every professional conversation: certainty. Once a client trusts you, they still need clarity around four specific dimensions before they feel ready to commit their time, money, and emotional energy to a meaningful process. This episode breaks down each of those certainties—what they mean, why they matter, and how to address them directly instead of hoping they resolve themselves.  They start with certainty in themselves, exploring why clients often doubt their ability to follow through and why coaches must help them uncover their past successes, failures, support systems, and obstacles. From there, they move into certainty in the plan, walking listeners through the four-phase Active Life method—Assess, Develop, Ascend, Freedom—and how to tailor detail or simplicity depending on personality type. This proactive clarity helps clients visualize the journey and understand what long-term success will require.  Finally, the conversation moves to certainty in support and certainty in the decision. Larry and Cody unpack how clients evaluate the professional and the environment: Do they trust the team? Do they understand the support structure? Is the timing right? They highlight how the best coaches stay calm during this phase by being agnostic to the outcome, genuinely committed to helping people find the right fit—not just making a sale. This episode gives professionals a complete blueprint for guiding clients through confident, aligned decisions.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have four stories for you this week: some GOP senators are pushing back against a potential DJI ban, UAS Nexus is launching a marketplace to solve the Blue UAS component shortage, Inspired Flight and Ascend Engineering are expanding their partnership to boost software for American-made drones, and an M30T Shoot down in Ohio. Let's get to it.First up, the push to ban DJI in the U.S. is facing some unexpected resistance from within the Republican party. According to a report from Politico, a provision to restrict DJI, which was included in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act, was left out of the Senate's version. Senators from agricultural and energy states are raising major concerns. Senator John Boozman of Arkansas pointed out, “They are the primary drone maker in the United States at a reasonable price. This technology is being used more and more… That's the crux of the problem.”This all comes as a critical deadline approaches on December 23rd. Under last year's NDAA, a federal security agency is supposed to determine if DJI poses a national security risk. If no agency conducts that audit by the deadline, DJI automatically gets added to the FCC's Covered List, which would ban new products from entering the U.S. market. The problem is, no agency has stepped up to actually do the audit. Next up, a Salt Lake City engineering firm called UAS Nexus is launching a new venture to tackle a huge problem: the Blue UAS supply chain. The company just launched the Drone Syndicate Store, which is a curated marketplace for NDAA and Blue UAS-compliant components. This is a big deal because while everyone talks about building American drones, finding all the individual, compliant parts, from motors to radios, is a massive headache for manufacturers. Next, Inspired Flight Technologies, or IFT, is expanding its partnership with a software firm called Ascend Engineering. IFT is a U.S. manufacturer of NDAA-compliant and Blue UAS-listed drones, and this partnership is all about beefing up their software capabilities. Ascend Engineering specializes in UAV software, and they've been working with IFT for two years on their Inspired Ground Control, or IGC, platform. IGC is the central hub for mission planning, in-flight management, and payload integration.Together, they've already pushed out several updates to the IGC software, improved the NTRIP framework for better connectivity, and added advanced payload features. According to IFT, this partnership accelerates their "software-enabled hardware strategy." This is so important because a drone is more than just its hardware. The software that runs it has to be secure, intuitive, and powerful. By focusing on building out their own software suite with a dedicated partner, IFT is working to create a complete, mission-ready system that is fully made in America. Last up, an M30T was shot down this week in Ohio. While flying, he experienced what he thought was a fly away, and called the police to notify them that the drone was flying away. Shortly after, the police returned his call to say someone reported finding a drone. The pilot met up with the reporting party, who said “I shot it down”.

Send us a textWhat if the next breakthrough in healthcare simulation isn't a device, but the proof that changes patient outcomes? We sit down with  Matt Charnetski —paramedic turned technologist turned incoming president of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare—to chart a path from personal experience to system-level impact. Matt's journey starts in Antarctic search and rescue and lands in board leadership, stitching together IT chops, clinical practice, and a bias for service that opened doors and built programs others can use.Across this conversation, we get specific about what growth should mean for a global simulation community. Matt lays out a simple mandate: make pathways to serve obvious, invite more voices to the table, and treat partnerships with international organizations as two-way streets. As IMSH grows, he pushes for smarter matching between people and content, smaller communities inside big events, and technology that helps newcomers navigate without getting lost. It's scale with intimacy, and it turns attendance into collaboration.When we pivot to innovation, Matt targets the evidence gap. We already measure satisfaction and short-term learning; the leap is linking simulation to clinical outcomes, determining the right dose of practice, and funding the early work that proves it. That's where the Ascend mentorship program and early career research grants come in—structured guidance, two-mentor support, and resources that turn good ideas into publishable studies and effective curricula. The payoff is a field that can defend its value in outcomes, not just anecdotes.Matt's why is human. A family story about communication in hospitals became a lesson he carried into paramedicine and now into leadership: teamwork is treatment. That's why he invests in the people who teach, operate, and research simulation, because their impact cascades to learners and patients. If you care about inclusive leadership, meaningful mentorship, and research that moves the needle, this conversation will give you a clear map—and an invitation to join in.If this resonated, follow and share the show, leave a rating or review, and tell us: what proof would help you advance simulation where you work? Website URL:https://ems-works.com/ LinkedIn URL:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/630796/Innovative SimSolutions.Your turnkey solution provider for medical simulation programs, sim centers & faculty design.

The human body is also a vessel of great beauty and light, and it can be dense and contain shadows and blind spots. As the consciousness of our world rapidly evolves, we are faced with an overwhelming number of choices to make on a daily basis - not just about day-to-day activities, but about where our values and loyalties truly lie. What do you believe in? Who are you? How do you want to align your consciousness to ascend to a state of unity? Living in a state of unity means you identify more as a soul/light being with a body than a body that might have a soul or spiritual connection somewhere. It means living with a deep inner knowing of your core light connection with Source above all else. Listen to this Meditation & Healing Circle for a transformative experience.

Today on Ascend: the Great Books Podcast, we are discussing Plato's Phaedo, or in ancient times, it had the subtitle of On the Soul. It tells of the death of Socrates and his various arguments for the immortality of the soul. The Phaedo is a complicated dialogue.

So it merits a slow, attentive, and subtle read.And to help us with this type of read, we are joined by Dr. Christopher Frey, a fantastic thinker who really is going to hold our hand and walk us through these various arguments of the immortality of soul. We're going to discuss the first part this week (up to the theory of recollection) and the second part next week.So is it beautiful? Yes. Is it difficult? Also, yes, but it's very much worth your time. So join us today for an excellent conversation on Plato's Phaedo with Dr. Christopher Frey.Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our READING SCHEDULE and more.Check out our COLLECTION of written guides on the great books.Keywords: Plato, Phaedo, Socrates, immortality, philosophy, body and soul, great books, ancient philosophy, dialogue, deathThank you for joining us!

Tonight we unseal the seventh vault in our 31 Nights of Lovecraft with The Strange High House in the Mist—a tale past the edge of knowing into an elevation of the soul.

Tonight we unseal the eighth vault in our 31 Nights of Lovecraft with Poetry and the Gods—where dreams summon ancient entities. The modern world hums with forgetful haste, yet beneath its clamor, ancient voices stir. A young woman listens—not to noise, but to rhythm. And in that rhythm, Olympus breathes. Ascend beyond the veil of sleep, where gods speak in verse and memory returns in meter. This is no mortal's escape—it is a chosen invocation, where poetry becomes portal, and the divine does not descend in thunder, but in song.ASMR soft-spoken reading of Poetry and the Gods by HP Lovecraft, featuring light rain on a tin roof as background ambiance. Poetry and the Gods was written in 1920 and published in the March 1921 issue of The United Amateur, a small amateur press magazine. At the time, Lovecraft was deeply immersed in the world of amateur journalism, still years away from the cosmic horror that would define his legacy. This story stands apart—less dread, more dream. It reflects Lovecraft's early fascination with classical mythology and poetic exaltation, written during a period when he saw himself as a guardian of ancient ideals in a rapidly modernizing world.

In this podcast episode the discussion revolves around the pivotal theme of peacemaking and conflict resolution. We connect with Pastor Brian Noble, who highlights the complexities of conflict as experienced by individuals in various relational contexts, particularly within missionary work. He articulates the necessity for a structured approach to conflict, encapsulated in a four-step model: Story, Ascend, Reflect, and Connect. This framework not only aids in understanding one's own perspective but also fosters an appreciation for the viewpoints of others, thereby enhancing the efficacy of communication and reconciliation efforts. Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the profound impact of personal accountability and the importance of initiating reconciliation, drawing upon biblical principles and personal anecdotes to underscore the transformative power of peacemaking in our lives and communities.Takeaways: The podcast emphasizes the significance of understanding diverse perspectives in resolving conflict. Brian Noble highlights the importance of self-reflection during conflicts for personal growth. The four-step model of peacemaking includes storytelling, ascending to core values, reflecting, and connecting. Effective conflict resolution requires both boldness and a commitment to peace in relationships.

In this episode of the Ascend the Great Books podcast, Deacon Harrison Garlick and Father Justin Brophy, OP, delve into the second part of Plato's Apology, exploring Socrates' defense during his trial. They discuss the significance of Socrates' thoughts on death, virtue, and the role of philosophy in life. The conversation also touches on the influence of Saint Justin Martyr, the relationship between pagans and philosophy, and the concept of the daemon as a guiding force in Socrates' life. Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule and prior great books!Check out our COLLECTION of written guides on the great books.The episode emphasizes the importance of living a virtuous life and the challenges posed by political life, ultimately highlighting Socrates' role as a gadfly in Athenian society. Keywords: Plato, Socrates, Apology, philosophy, virtue, Justin Martyr, death, polis, daemon, gadfly, Socrates, philosophy, politics, virtue, democracy, Apology, death, unexamined life, hope, justiceFrom the guide: 30. What should we learn from the Apology overall?In Plato's Apology, Socrates delivers a profound defense against charges of impiety and corrupting the youth, presenting himself as a divinely appointed gadfly to awaken Athens to wisdom and virtue, despite the city's resistance to his philosophical mission. He distinguishes his authentic philosophy, driven by a true eros for wisdom and obedience to the God, from sophistry and poetic inspiration, emphasizing that the unexamined life is not worth living. Facing a close guilty verdict and death sentence, Socrates refuses to grovel, asserting that a just man cannot be harmed by a worse one, as only unjust acts can scar the soul. He concludes with hope, urging the jury to trust that “a good man cannot be harmed either in life or in death, and that his affairs are not neglected by the gods,” leaving a legacy that challenges Athens and shapes Western civilization. The Apology thus portrays Socrates' trial as a defense of philosophy itself, highlighting its transformative power and inevitable tension with the democratic polis.
