35 years of combination experience. Fire Chief of Beaver Lane Fire-Rescue in Marshville NC. Creator, owner & operator of Premier Extrication. Toot didn't have that instant desire to become a Firefighter. It took him several years to decide to apply with Beaver Lane. But once he got on he did any and everything he could to be the best version of himself. Aspirations of going career was a goal Toot set but in life everything we do and experience happens for a reason. Sometimes we don't have a choice, but an opportunity presented itself to Toot he took it and as the phrase goes “Look what God did.” If you know Toot you know he's all in when it comes extrication and I truly hope the listeners can tune into some solid nuggets being dropped.IG: premiereextrication

Alex Sloley: Coaching Teams Trapped Between Agile Aspirations and Organizational Control Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "The team says, oh, we want to try to do things this way, and the org keeps coming back and saying stuff like, no, no, no, you can't do that, because in this org, we don't allow that." - Alex Sloley Alex shares his current challenge working with a 10-person pilot Scrum team within a 1,500-person organization that has never done Agile before. While the team appears open-minded and eager to embrace agile ways of working, the organization continuously creates impediments by dictating how the team must estimate, break down work, and operate. Management tells them "the right way" to do everything, from estimation techniques to role-based work assignments, even implementing RACI matrices that restrict who can do what type of work. Half the team has been with the organization for six months or less, making it comfortable to simply defer to authority and follow organizational rules. Through coaching conversation, Alex explores whether the team might be falling into learned helplessness or simply finding comfort in being told what to do—both positions that avoid accountability. His experimental approach includes designing retrospective questions to help the team reflect on what they believe they're empowered to do versus what management dictates, and potentially using delegation cards to facilitate conversations about decision-making authority. Alex's key insight is recognizing that teams may step back from empowerment either out of fear or comfort, and identifying which dynamic is at play requires careful, small experiments that create safe spaces for honest dialogue. Self-reflection Question: When your team defers to organizational authority, are they operating from learned helplessness, comfort in avoiding accountability, or genuine respect for hierarchy? How can you design experiments to uncover the real dynamic at play? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

#308. Perhaps some of us had dreams of becoming radio broadcasters when we were kids. Having a middle-class podcast is the closest we've come to “making it” as far as that's concerned, but here we are! Kendall shares a wonderful weekend away with his boy which includes a special note for the executives at Uber. Ya'll have some things to fix. Then we dive into the Cracker Barrel logo situation and come to the conclusion that we don't care about what robots care about. On the second half we ponder what restaurants we'd rather live around and Dillon shares the results of a BBQ taste test! All with the light-hearted banter that you expect. We look forward to chilling with Kory soon! Maybe he'll get us talking about something other than food. Until then, be kind to each other.FTM Merch! - https://www.teepublic.com/user/fromthemiddleLinkTree - https://linktr.ee/fromthemidpodVOICE MAIL!

(00:00-32:03) Little Jackie Papers is all growns up and he's all growns up. Oh wow, you combed your hair today. Aspirations to be on TMA. Marsh is striking and debonair. Sit & giggle.

Somebody's gonna be on the hot seat late Saturday night. Aaron Judge big night to keep the Yankees alive. Dump Here. Now we just gotta get Doug to the game. Josh Bob Bill's brother is Joey Van Zummeren. Cretins and try hards.(32:11-53:40) Jackson ghost wrote Jeremy Rutherford's article in The Athletic. Sketched out late night pizza. Jackson's favorite apps. BMI Martin. JR's 10 Bold Predictions. When's Pronger going to join the show? Will the Blues new goal song be from Rogers and Hammertoe? War Pigs. Chairman's search history. It starts with mozzarella sticks and ends with love.(53:50-1:19:52) Joey Van Zummeren of Sports Illustrated joins the show to talk about the report of Kirby Moore interviewing with Arkansas. Mizzou looking for that signature program win this weekend. First time there's been a matchup with both teams in the top 15 since Mizzou vs. Texas in September of 1979. Not much upside in making a prediction. First rule of journalism: Make it all about yourself. Sorry hayseeds, this is central corridor radio.

In case you missed it, last week was NY Climate Week. There were well over 1,000 events — from summits with CEO and heads of state, to film screenings, concerts, parties, boat cruises, pitch sessions, hackathons and much more. I tried to sum up my experience at New York climate week in a special episode two years ago. This year, of course, the context was different with a US administration no longer interested in climate, and a lot of green hushing, hand wringing and new language that aims to be less politicizing.To me, one of the most interesting things about NY Climate Week is that it's not the only one. Climate weeks are spreading. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC, San Diego, Shanghai, Bangkok, Panama City all have climate weeks. There might be dozens more in the works. No city on the planet is immune from the impact of climate, and most cities have thriving ecosystems of organizations, innovators, investors, policymakers, researchers and more working to advance climate solutions and adapt to a changing planet. In this conversation I'm joined by Nishant Mani and Dan Thorman, co-founders of the LA Climate Week. Nishant and Dan saw a need to bring together their community. They volunteered to lead and have built LA Climate Week into a successful example that people anywhere can follow to create their own week of solidarity, learning and action. We talk about their backgrounds, the founding story of LA Climate Week, the impact of the LA wildfires on last year's event, lessons they've learned and much more. So whether or not you were in New York last week, I hope you'll enjoy this conversation and consider how you can help your local climate community wherever you are. On today's episode, we cover:1:22 – Recap of New York Climate Week & Spread of Climate Weeks3:43 – Nishant's Personal & Professional Background6:19 – Dan's Personal & Professional Background 10:16 – The Origin Story of LA Climate Week14:40 – The Role of Entertainment & Culture in LA Climate Week17:08 – Entertainment Industry's Role in Climate Movement18:33 – Impact of Wildfires on LA Climate Week24:47 – The Broader Role of Climate Weeks & Local Collaboration27:51 – Lessons Learned from Organizing LA Climate Week32:20 – Evolving the Structure and Infrastructure Involvement33:02 – Measuring Success and Growth of LA Climate Week36:44 – Community Engagement & Accessibility39:32 – Aspirations for the Future: Magic Wand Scenario42:21 – Future Planning and Event Announcement44:14 – Closing Remarks and Call to ActionResources MentionedLA Climate WeekClimate CapitalTerra.doReunionCollidescope FoundationJane Goodall InstituteConnect with usNishant ManiDan ThormanJason RissmanKeep...

The U.S. H-1B lottery just ended, and thousands of ambitious professionals are asking themselves the same question: is chasing a global career still worth it?Immigration rules are tightening, borders are harder to cross, and belonging feels more elusive than ever.In this episode, we think through the promise and pitfalls of building a life across countries. We'll talk about the upside - bigger markets, faster growth, new horizons, and the downside - visa anxiety, dislocation, and the quiet ache of distance.Harvard Business School graduate Abhilasha Sinha shares her reflections and mental models about • Where you build your career, and how much of yourself you lose or find in the process. • Does living “between worlds” expand us, or does it fracture us?• What does success look like when the passport is as important as the résumé?• Is a global career still a realistic ambition?

How did Star Trek go from television soundstage to national treasure? This week, we continue our conversation with Glen Swanson, former NASA historian and author of Inspired Enterprise, to explore a deeper chapter in Trek's relationship with the Smithsonian. Through an exchange of letters between Gene Roddenberry and F.C. Durant, Assistant Director of the National Air and Space Museum, we trace the efforts to secure original Star Trek props and artifacts—including what would ultimately bring the 11-foot U.S.S. Enterprise model into the museum's collection. Beyond acquisition logistics, these letters reveal Durant's belief in the inspirational power of Star Trek, how its optimistic vision of the future helped fuel real-world enthusiasm for space exploration. From ZAP pistols to starship models, this is the story of how Star Trek boldly went into the Smithsonian… and stayed.
