In questo episodio vedremo come i diversi eserciti passarono i primi mesi del nuovo anno, il 1915, sul fronte occidentale. Gli stati maggiori, non ancora del tutto consapevoli della realtà della guerra di posizione, progettano nuove offensive, tra cui la prima interamente a trazione britannica, la battaglia di Neuve Chapelle.Seguimi su Instagram: @laguerragrande_podcastSe vuoi contribuire con una donazione sul conto PayPal: podcastlaguerragrande@gmail.comO con un abbonamento Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/libraryScritto e condotto da Andrea BassoMontaggio e audio: Andrea BassoFonti dell'episodio:Ralph Allen, Ordeal by Fire, Doubleday & Company, 1961André Bach, Fusillés pour l'exemple - 1914-1915, Tallandier, 2003Giacomo Bollini, Storia cronologica dei combattimenti sul fronte italiano, 1915-1918, Gaspari, 2014Micheal Clodfelter, Warfare and Armed Conflicts: A Statistical Encyclopedia of Casualty and Other Figures, 1492–2015, McFarland, 2017Paul Cornish, Flamethrower, 1914-1918 Online, 2016Wilhelm Deist, Die Kriegführung der Mittelmächte, Enzyklopädie Erster Weltkrieg, Ferdinand Schöningh, 2014L.

In this Wednesday Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan answers listener questions on newly released documents that raise fresh doubts about the official story behind Thomas Crooks and the attempted assassination of President Trump. Bryan covers why he believes the CIA is still hiding key details about 9/11, former CIA Director John Brennan's upcoming grand jury testimony, and confirmation from the Air Force that the US has used space based weapons offensively, tracing back to the mysterious destruction of a Chinese spy satellite tied to a deadly attack on US troops. He also breaks down the worsening War of Attrition with Iran and a looming diesel and gas price spike threatening truckers, farmers, and ranchers just weeks before the midterms. Plus, Bryan answers listener questions on a Massachusetts family's fight to stop the state from transitioning their teenage daughter, a UT Austin admissions controversy tied to H-1B visa fraud, and Elon Musk's proposal for Silicon Valley to self-regulate AI risk with a movie style rating system.

Why do nearly half of IR residents consider leaving the specialty, and what can be done to change that? On this episode of the BackTable Podcast, Dr. Neil Jain interviews Dr. David Mittelstein, an integrated IR resident at UC San Diego and co-chair of the SIR RFS Recruitment Committee, about the findings of a national SIR survey on interventional radiology resident attrition. They discuss what drives uncertainty, from lifestyle and call burden to job market fears, and highlight the program features that encourage retention, such as structured training, high case volume, and a culture of camaraderie. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- This podcast is supported by RADPAD® Radiation Protectionhttps://www.radpad.com/ --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction04:31 - From Biomedical Engineering to IR07:41 - Recruitment Committee Mission12:37 - Match Trends Warning Sign15:12 - Survey Design Demographics20:21 - What Factors Matter25:04 - Why Residents Consider Switching30:23 - Recommendation 1 IR Curriculum32:32 - Recommendation 2 More IR Rotation34:10 - Recommendation 3 Build Camaraderie38:30 - Advice for Residents Who Are Doubting41:00 - What's Next for RFS Recruitment43:20 - Wrap Up --- More about this episode The conversation explores free-response themes from the survey, where 78 percent of residents cited lifestyle concerns, 31 percent pointed to job market uncertainty, and 22 percent mentioned call experience as reasons for questioning IR.

Why Do So Many Extraordinary Experiences Happen at Night?Last week, TyLean Tuijl challenged many of the assumptions surrounding possession, encouraging us to move beyond Hollywood stereotypes and consider a far more complex psychological, cultural and experiential picture.In this follow-up conversation, we explore another question that naturally emerged from that discussion:Why do so many reports of hauntings, apparitions, possession experiences and other extraordinary encounters seem to occur while we're asleep—or in that strange space between sleeping and waking?Together, we explore why sleep may be one of the most important gateways to extraordinary experiences. From sleep paralysis and shadow figures to vivid dreams and altered states of consciousness, we examine why these experiences have been interpreted so differently across cultures and throughout history. We discuss what the Society for Psychical Research is discovering through Project Sleep, why sleep disturbances so often appear alongside reports of hauntings, possession and other spontaneous paranormal phenomena, and why listening without judgement is essential when people come forward with these deeply personal experiences. My Special Guest Is TyLean Tuijl: TyLean Tuijl is a PhD researcher in psychology investigating possession and altered states of consciousness. She has a background as a solo, avant-garde composer and recording artist with many songs inspired by the paranormal, altered states of consciousness, and human psychology. She has performed on dozens of albums and on tour for various bands, most notably Attrition. She is a method-trained actress who has worked in film, television and on stage as well as voice over. Her experience with The Method became the foundation from which she would later study altered states of consciousness and possession. TyLean is a council member and office holder for the Society for Psychical Research and a case investigator for the Spontaneous Case Committee, where she also serves as the Safeguarding Advisor.If you value this podcast and want to enjoy more episodes please come and find us on https://www.patreon.com/Haunted_History_Chronicles to support the podcast, gain a wealth of additional exclusive podcasts, writing and other content.Links to all Haunted History Chronicles Social Media Pages, Published Materials and more: https://linktr.ee/hauntedhistorychronicles?fbclid=IwAR15rJF2m9nJ0HTXm27HZ3QQ2Llz46E0UpdWv-zePVn9Oj9Q8rdYaZsR74INEWPodcast Shop: https://www.teepublic.com/user/haunted-history-chroniclesBuy Me A Coffee https://ko-fi.com/hauntedhistorychronicles Links to the Society for Psychical Research: https://www.spr.ac.uk/report-an-experience
(00:00) — Born in India, raised in Canada: How early experiences with navigating healthcare planted the seed for a medical career.(03:03) — Canadian medical school odds: Why the stat-heavy, seat-limited system makes it one of the hardest paths in North America.(06:51) — First application cycle, zero interviews: What went wrong and what "being a perfect applicant" actually cost her.(09:02) — Second cycle, authentic essays, a few interviews: How honesty on paper moved the needle — but not enough.(15:29) — Ruling out India, weighing the US, Ireland, and the Caribbean: How she narrowed her options after two rejections.(19:05) — Researching Caribbean schools: Attrition rates, match stats, LinkedIn outreach, and a campus visit with her mom.(23:26) — The financial reality for Canadian students at Caribbean schools: Private loans, OSAP, and a scholarship that changed the math.(28:21) — First days at SGU in Grenada: The pressure of IMG status, 12-to-15-hour study days, and staying focused on today.(32:13) — The "Caribbean med school is a vacation" myth: Why the stigma is wrong and what the attrition numbers actually show.(37:53) — Adjusting to island life: Grocery runs as the only break, finding a study rhythm, and getting comfortable in a new environment.(41:57) — Words for students considering the Caribbean path: Why a different road is still a real road.After two application cycles to Canadian medical schools — zero interviews the first time, a handful the second — this premed from Ontario made a decision that changed everything: she packed up and headed to St. George's University School of Medicine in Grenada. In this episode, she walks through exactly how she got there, from growing up as an immigrant child helping her family navigate the healthcare system, to a five-year co-op undergrad, a master's degree, a second MCAT, and ultimately the realization that the Canadian system's stat-driven, seat-scarce process simply wasn't going to open for her. She talks honestly about the financial side — private bank lines of credit, OSAP, and a merit scholarship from SGU — and about what it actually feels like to sit down with a tuition bill that size. Once on the island, she found that Caribbean medical school is nothing like the vacation stereotype: class sizes in the 500-to-600 range thin out every term, and she routinely puts in 12 to 15 hours of studying a day. Her strategy for handling the pressure of IMG status, uncertain residency prospects, and being far from family comes down to one discipline: focus only on what today requires.What You'll Learn:- Why Canadian medical schools function as a stats-first filter and what that means for applicants who are strong but not perfect on paper- How to research Caribbean medical schools beyond Reddit — including what data points actually matter for Canadian and US students- What the financial pathway looks like for Canadian students attending a Caribbean school, including private loans, provincial aid, and institutional scholarships- Why the "Caribbean school is easy" stigma is inaccurate and what the real academic demands look like from a current student- How to stay mentally grounded when the pressure of loans, IMG status, and an uncertain match future is constant
Emergency departments across Canada are seeing record patient volumes, bed shortages and overcrowding. A new longitudinal study in CMAJ, "Emergency physician burnout and attrition in Canada: a longitudinal study," finds physician burnout now above pandemic-era levels and driving reduced hours and departures from the specialty.Dr. Kerstin de Wit, the study's lead author, an emergency physician and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at Queen's University, reports that 65% of respondents to the January 2025 survey had high burnout levels, slightly higher than at the pandemic peak in December 2020, a statistically significant difference. Participants described the health care system as broken, with chronic overcrowding forcing physicians to examine patients in corridors and waiting rooms as quality of care slips. Half the cohort had reduced shifts, 20% had stepped away from emergency medicine for a time, and 10% had left and not returned. She also describes physicians coping by detaching from responsibility for a situation they feel powerless to change.Dr. Jillian Horton, associate chair of internal medicine at the University of Manitoba and author of We Are All Perfectly Fine, teaches an evidence-based program for physicians in distress. She argues that organizational factors drive 80% to 90% of burnout and individual factors closer to 10%, and that wellness efforts fail when they focus on individual-level solutions. Physicians now reject the language of resilience, she says, so she focuses on meaning, citing research that physicians who spend at least 20% of their time on the work they find most meaningful have half the burnout risk of physicians who spend less.The study puts the cause in the system, which limits what any one physician can fix alone. Physicians can still protect the most meaningful parts of their work, which the research links to lower burnout risk.Comments or questions?

What does it really mean to be possessed?For centuries, stories of possession have been shaped by religion, folklore and popular culture. Films have taught us to expect dramatic exorcisms, distorted voices and supernatural battles between good and evil. But what if the reality is far more complex?Can possession be explained by psychology alone, or is there something more? In this episode, PhD researcher and Society for Psychical Research investigator TyLean Tuijl explores possession, altered states of consciousness, dissociation, exorcism, mental illness and the paranormal, challenging many of the myths created by popular culture. My Special Guest Is TyLean Tuijl: TyLean Tuijl is a PhD researcher in psychology investigating possession and altered states of consciousness.

Ian Turner has spent over two decades as a Chief People Officer watching the same slow collision happen inside organisations: brilliant performers get promoted into leadership roles, never get developed as leaders, and quietly become — in Ian's phrase — "overpaid doers." This episode asks what it actually takes to be a human-centric business leader, why that capability is in shorter supply than it should be, and what the real commercial cost is when organisations let it drift.The conversation lands on a deceptively simple idea: sustainable performance comes from leaders who hold the commercial and the human in the same hand at the same time — not alternating between them, but integrating both as a single discipline. Ian reframes what that looks like in practice, from getting out of your furrow in the carpet to understanding that every tech transformation is actually a people transformation with a tech element.Key Themes & TakeawaysLeaders who succeed long-term care passionately about two things simultaneously: delivering results and the people delivering them — treating these as one system, not a trade-off.Organisations have created a generation of "overpaid doers" — people promoted for technical excellence who were never equipped, trained, or expected to actually lead.The "furrow in the carpet" is a powerful diagnostic: if your daily movement through an organisation never changes, your leadership reach probably doesn't either.Attrition, stagnation, and cultural echo chambers are not people problems — they're the commercial consequences of ignoring the human side of performance.Post-COVID, companies that genuinely cared about their people maintained flexible, human-aware cultures; those that did it out of necessity are now facing the cultural bill.The most powerful thing a leader can offer isn't advice — it's belief. Coaching someone to their own solution builds both the answer and the person.Every tech transformation is a people transformation with a tech element — and leaders who frame it the other way around will keep hitting the same wall.Three Reasons to ListenListen if your organisation keeps hitting numbers in the short term but quietly haemorrhaging your best people — Ian names exactly why, and it's not what most senior leaders want to hear.Listen if you've ever caught yourself thinking that leadership is "on the side of the desk" — this conversation will reframe that as a strategic and commercial error, not just a personal development gap.Listen if you're trying to make the case internally that human-centric leadership isn't soft — Ian builds the business argument clearly, without ever making it fluffy.Notable Quotes"They don't become leaders because they're recruited into those more senior roles because they've been a great salesperson, a great product person, a great marketer — and they've not been recruited because they show true leadership traits." — Ian Turner"Every transformation is a people transformation with a tech element. It's not a tech transformation with a people element." — Ian Turner"One of the most powerful things you can offer another person isn't advice — it's belief." — Ian Turner (referencing Jenny Rogers, Coaching Skills)Ian's bioIan Turner, a Chief People Officer, talent strategist and leadership coach with over two decades of experience shaping people and culture across some of the UK's most recognised organisations.

Four Pillars of Advertising for Pediatric Practices: Newborn ROI, TikTok, Google Maps, and Internal OutreachHosts discuss pediatric practice marketing with repeat guest Dr. Cliff James, focusing on ROI-driven patient acquisition and replacing attrition by targeting newborns while balancing capacity and scheduling efficiency. James argues marketing spend should be measured by cost per acquired patient (nationally ~$80–$100; his ~$32), not percent of revenue, and stresses tracking “how did you hear about us” to avoid misleading metrics like clicks. He outlines advertising pillars: (1) social media content, especially TikTok, to educate pregnant/new parents and generate both patients and platform revenue; (2) hyperlocal visibility via Google Maps/Google Business and consistent listings across many directories, with mobile-optimized, content-rich websites that AI search tools can scrape; (3) targeted paid ads such as geofencing OB offices and filtering by demographics; and (4) internal “advertising” using EHR outreach to drive well visits and chronic care follow-ups. He emphasizes outsourcing execution while physicians stay involved and recommends treating the website like a revenue-producing employee.00:00 Podcast Intro and Guest01:38 Why Market to Newborns03:23 Attrition and Growth Math05:43 Capacity and Scheduling Limits13:47 Walk Ins and Workflow Hacks16:33 Marketing Spend and CPA18:48 Modern Referral Channels20:51 Outsource vs Be the Star23:22 Social Media Pillar TikTok27:59 Tracking Leads and Targeting29:32 High Income Ad Targeting30:10 Geofencing OB Offices31:16 60 Second Video Strategy32:32 Choosing Social Channels33:14 Avoiding Link Penalties35:29 Google Maps Over SEO36:29 AI Search Website Pages39:50 Reviews And Internal Outreach48:19 Quiz Funnels For Leads52:06 Webinars Worth It55:36 Delegate Marketing Work01:00:16 Website As An Employee01:02:23 Closing And DisclaimersSupport the show

After more than four years of conflict, the war in Ukraine has produced an unprecedented body of data on rapid innovation, emerging technology, and the evolving role of drone warfare and unmanned systems on the modern battlefield. The pressing question for U.S. defense planners is which of those lessons can be translated to the U.S. way of war, and which, if applied too directly, risk misdirecting future force development.In this episode, host Dr. Arun Seraphin is joined by Anna Kim, Associate Research Fellow at the Emerging Technologies Institute (ETI), and Matt Dooley, President and CEO of Fidelium and Chair of the NDIA Robotics Division, to discuss their ETI white paper, "Beyond Attrition: Interpreting the Limits of Lessons from Ukraine for Future US Force Development." The paper examines what full integration of drone technologies, autonomous systems, and emerging military technologies into the U.S. Joint Force would actually require.The conversation explores why Ukraine's battlefield innovation and drone-driven "iteration under fire" model cannot be copied wholesale into the U.S. statutory and industrial environment, the enduring importance of combined arms warfare, and why the future force depends on integrating attritable unmanned systems with legacy maneuver platforms rather than choosing between them. Kim and Dooley also discuss the Army's Transformation in Contact (TiC) and Human Machine Integrated Formation (HMIF) initiatives, Project Convergence, and the Pentagon's Drone Dominance program, along with the production, sustainment, and training challenges of fielding robotic, autonomous, and emerging technology-enabled warfare capabilities at the scale a future fight will demand.Read ETI's White Paper "Beyond Attrition: Interpreting the Limits of Lessons from Ukraine for Future US Force Development": https://www.emergingtechnologiesinstitute.org/publications/brief-series/beyond-attritionLearn more about NDIA's Robotics Division: https://www.ndia.org/divisions/roboticsFor updates on our content, sign up for our weekly mailer: https://www.emergingtechnologiesinstitute.org/sign-upSAVE THE DATE:2026 NDIA Future Force Capabilities Conference & Exhibition, June 8–10, 2026, at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, NV — where Anna and Matt will continue the conversation: https://ndiaffc.org2026 NDIA Emerging Technologies for Defense Conference and ExhibitionSeptember 9-10, 2026, at the Walter E.

Most companies treat labor as a cost to be minimized. Zeynep Ton has spent two decades proving that's the most expensive mistake a business can make.Zeynep is a professor at MIT Sloan, founder of the Good Jobs Institute, and author of The Case for Good Jobs. Her research across retail, hospitality, and service industries has documented what companies like Costco, Trader Joe's, QuickTrip, and Mercadona figured out long before the rest — that investing in frontline workers is not a trade-off against profitability. It is the engine of it.In this conversation, Zeynep and I break down the Good Jobs System in full — the four operational levers that create highly productive, motivating work, and the investment in people that makes it all sustainable. We talk about why the Toyota Production System fails when leaders skip its human foundation, why "lean and mean" isn't actually efficient, and what AI-driven companies are getting catastrophically wrong when they treat automation as a headcount reduction tool rather than a way to unlock human potential.This is not a conversation about being nice to employees. It is a conversation about building a system so competitive that others can't touch you.What You Will Learn:The real cost of high employee turnover on operational executionThe four elements of the Good Jobs System - and why you can't cherry-pickWhy operating with slack is the most counterintuitive and powerful operational choiceHow Costco's frontline workers outperform without performance-based bonusesWhy AI is either your greatest lever for human flourishing - or your fastest path to destroying trust.Episode Chapters:07:00 The vicious cycle: how "labor as cost" mindset creates operational collapse12:42 Improving customer value is the best way to grow profits15:03 The Good Jobs System explained: two pillars, four operational levers22:00 Focus and simplify: why fewer choices drive better frontline performance27:00 Standardize and empower: how clear standards create ownership, not compliance34:00 Cross-train: flexibility, motivation, and promoting from within43:00 Why operating with slack is strategic.49:33 How AI can either replace people or amplify human contributionResources:Connect with the GuestLinkedIn: Professor Zeynep TonRecommended Reading: The Good Jobs Strategy: How the Smartest Companies Invest in Employees to Lower Costs and Boost ProfitsConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.
Climate surveys used by the War Department like the Defense Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) are annual check-ins to assess unit morale, cohesion and leadership trust. Traditionally, these surveys take a long time to gather and analyze by leadership. A pair of Marine Corps innovators told AI GovCast that they've created a new AI–enabled survey tool prototype that is designed to give commanders near‑real‑time insight the day‑to‑day stressors affecting Marines. The prototype, called PULSE Check, aims to close long‑standing feedback gaps that leaders say contribute to retention problems — particularly in the reserve component. Col. Prescott Wilson, chief of staff for the 4th Marine Logistics Group, said the idea emerged after a commanders' conference where Marines explained why they were leaving drilling status for the Individual Ready Reserve. "By the time we're talking to these Marines on stage, they've already made a decision … that's talent we can't get back," Wilson said. Lt. Col. Samuel Sung, an innovation officer with the Logistics Innovation Office and a Marine reservist who co‑developed the prototype, said the team deliberately focused first on whether the idea was even useful before tackling the complex security and compliance requirements of deploying AI inside the department. He added that AI-driven analysis enables more frequent surveys and faster feedback cycles, allowing commanders to test changes and measure results monthly instead of annually. That accelerated process, Sung said, can improve decision-making while also reinforcing to Marines that their feedback is being heard.

Most banks think they have an attrition problem under control because the closure numbers still look healthy. But customers are not leaving the way they used to. They are opening accounts at Chime, SoFi, Robinhood, Cash App, and Acorns while keeping their old bank relationship open. The direct deposit stays, and the account stays active, and even the dashboard says everything is fine. Meanwhile, more spending, more engagement, and more deposits quietly move somewhere else. In this episode, I break down what I call “silent attrition” and why the first outbound transfer matters more than the eventual account closure. Using data from J.D. Power, Cornerstone Advisors, Accenture, and a real-world engagement with a $10 billion institution, I explain why traditional retention metrics no longer reflect customer reality, how challenger brands are winning share of wallet without triggering alarms, and what banks can do right now to identify customers who are already halfway out the door. Because by the time the account closes, the relationship has usually been gone for years. #Banking #DigitalBanking #Fintech #CX #AI #CustomerRetention #attrition #BankTransformation

The Future of HR team advises, implements, and helps business and HR leaders drive business and workforce outcomes through Deloitte's knowledge and practical understanding of HR operating models, processes, AI and automation capabilities, HR technology and vendor partner strategies, and evolving HR skills and capabilities. Forrest also serves as the dean of Deloitte's Next Generation CHRO Academy, bringing together senior HR leaders aspiring for the CHRO role to advance their careers. Takeaways: 1. The AI Conversation Has Moved On — and That's a Good Thing A year ago, every conference session was about AI features. In 2026, the more important question has taken center stage: what should humans be doing? Organizations that are answering that question well are investing in the uniquely human capabilities — creativity, presence, novel thinking, relationship-building — that AI cannot replicate. 2. No Generation Is Primarily Motivated by Pay Alone Deloitte's research across all four workforce generations is consistent: salary is table stakes, not a differentiator. Purpose, mental wellbeing, financial wellness, and a sense that the company cares about the whole person are what actually move the needle on attraction and retention. 3. Mental Wellbeing Benefits Are Now a Business Outcome, Not a Perk The link between employee stress and productivity is well-documented. Organizations that invest in mental health benefits aren't just being compassionate — they're protecting output, engagement, and retention. Gen Z's comfort with this dialogue has accelerated adoption across the board. 4. The Sandwich Generation Is the Next Big Benefits Frontier A growing number of employees are simultaneously raising children and caring for aging parents. This dual caregiving burden creates stress, distraction, and leave risk that compounds over time. Benefits that help employees navigate elder care — not just time off, but actual guidance and support — are going to become a significant differentiator in the next few years. 5. Women's Health Benefits Have an Underserved Second Chapter The fertility benefits conversation has expanded — but Kyle points to a significant gap: supporting mothers through recovery, healing, and the early transition to parenthood after birth. There is growing investment in this space, and the companies that get ahead of it will have a meaningful advantage. 6. How a Company Handles Pregnancy Loss Is Now Part of Its Employer Brand Word travels fast — especially on social media. How an organization supports an employee through the loss of a pregnancy or a failed IVF cycle is the kind of story that gets shared widely. It's become a visible signal of company culture and values that candidates and current employees pay attention to. 7. Benefits ROI Lives in Attrition and Time-to-Hire Data Kyle's framework for building the business case: calculate the cost of slow hiring and high attrition, then show how the right benefits mix moves those numbers. Unfilled roles have a direct revenue impact — and retaining the right people means not missing out on sales, delivery, or growth. 8. Performance Psychology Coaching Is the Most Interesting New Benefits Category Drawing on decades of research in elite sports, performance psychology coaching helps employees handle high-pressure moments, navigate stress, and show up at their best — consistently. It's distinct from traditional mental health services and addresses a different, underserved need in the workforce. 9. Asynchronous Interviewing Is Democratizing the Candidate Pipeline Tools that let candidates complete interviews and skills assessments on their own time — at 5:30 AM before work or after putting the kids to bed — are surfacing qualified candidates who would have otherwise been filtered out by scheduling friction. Companies using these tools are finding people they would have missed. 10. Modern HR's Job Is Strategy, Not Inquiry The more benefits navigation and routine HR questions can be handled through technology and concierge services, the more HR professionals can focus on what actually moves the business: partnering with leaders to personalize benefits for their specific workforce mix, build better teams, and make smarter people decisions. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Welcome Back, Kyle Adam welcomes Kyle Forrest back for his third appearance and sets up what's different about Transform 2026 compared to previous years. 02:00 – The Shift: From AI Features to Human Value Kyle's big observation from the conference circuit: last year was about AI products; this year is about what work should remain human — and why that's the more important conversation. 04:30 – What AI Still Can't Do The uniquely human capabilities that no model can replace: being present in the room, generating novel ideas, building real relationships, and innovating in ways that go beyond the existing body of human knowledge. 07:00 – Four Generations, One Workforce, Zero Agreement on Pay Deloitte's generational research shows that across Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers, salary alone is not the primary motivator — and what that means for how companies structure total comp. 09:30 – Mental Wellbeing as a Business Outcome How Gen Z's comfort with mental health dialogue has pushed organizations to take wellness benefits more seriously — and the research linking stress reduction directly to productivity and engagement. 12:00 – The Sandwich Generation Problem A growing segment of the workforce is simultaneously caring for kids and aging parents. Kyle makes the case for why navigation benefits for elder care aren't just nice to have — they're becoming critical. 15:00 – Benefits That Remove Burden from HR How smart benefits design reduces the volume of questions HR has to field — freeing people professionals to spend time with business leaders on strategic workforce decisions instead. 17:30 – The Modern Role of HR Kyle's take on how the HR profession has evolved over nearly 100 years — and where it needs to go next: less inquiry-answering, more personalized workforce strategy in partnership with business leaders. 20:00 – Fertility Benefits and the Overlooked Healing Journey The growing investment in women's health benefits — and the often-missed opportunity to support mothers not just through the fertility journey, but through recovery, healing, and the transition to parenthood. 23:00 – Supporting Loss in the Workplace A candid moment: how companies show up for employees who experience pregnancy loss or failed IVF is becoming a visible differentiator — and word spreads fast, in both directions. 25:30 – The ROI Case for Benefits Investment Kyle's framework for justifying benefits spend: tie it to time-to-hire, attrition rates, and the measurable revenue impact of unfilled roles and disengaged employees. 28:00 – Performance Psychology Coaching One of the most interesting emerging benefits: coaching that applies lessons from elite sports psychology to help employees navigate stress, pressure, and high-stakes moments at work. 30:30 – TA Tech Innovation: Interviewing on Your Time The candidate experience innovation Kyle is most excited about: asynchronous interview and skills assessment tools that let candidates go through the process at 5:30 AM or after bedtime — and the pipeline results companies are seeing. 33:00 – Where to Find Kyle & Deloitte's Research Kyle points listeners to Deloitte's Insights to Action platform and his LinkedIn for the latest research and workforce intelligence.
High attrition rates in Health and Illness and Pharmacology courses led the authors to develop a mid-curricular summer bridge program for students to develop their self-regulated learning (SRL) and to reduce attrition in these courses. Dr. Avallone and Samantha Tucker in this podcast and article describe their Bridge Program and its effectiveness: students developed their SRL skills, and the Bridge Program significantly reduced attrition rates.
Why are so many large organizations struggling with high attrition, disengaged teams, and eroding trust? In this episode of The Story Engine Podcast, Kyle Gray sits down with Jim Carlough to explore his framework for becoming a more "integrist" leader in today's rapidly evolving corporate landscape. Jim shares his philosophy behind the Six Pillars of Leadership — a practical model designed to strengthen trust, stabilize teams, and reduce costly turnover inside large corporations. Together, they unpack why traditional leadership approaches are breaking down, what employees truly need from leaders in 2025 and beyond, and how trust—not perks or compensation—is the real competitive advantage. Jim reveals how leaders can shift from reactive management to intentional stewardship, creating cultures where people stay, perform, and grow. If you're leading a team, running a division, or responsible for culture inside a growing organization, this episode offers actionable insight into building loyalty, accountability, and long-term success. Episode Highlights & Timestamps 02:30 — The root causes of high attrition: broken trust, misalignment, and leadership blind spots. 05:45 — What it means to be an "integrist" leader in the modern corporate environment. 09:30 — Overview of the Six Pillars of Leadership and how they interconnect. 13:00 — Why trust is the true performance multiplier inside organizations. 17:20 — Practical strategies to reduce turnover and rebuild engagement from the top down. 21:10 — Common leadership mistakes that unintentionally drive high performers away. 24:40 — How culture is shaped daily through decisions, communication, and consistency. 27:30 — Implementing the Six Pillars inside large corporate structures without resistance.

Following the Normandy landings, Rommel rushed Heeresgruppe B reserves towards the coast in order to crush the bridgehead and drive the Allied forces back into the sea. One of these armored reserves was the newly created 12. SS-Panzer-Division Hitlerjugend. Extremely well equipped and at near full strength by mid-1944 standards, it was seen as an extremely capable formation. As Allied forces flooded inland from the beaches, 12. SS-Panzer-Division attempted to capture and hold the battlefield initiative. However, despite this German armoured division's best efforts, it would be bludgeoned and driven back in a series of offensive set-piece operations by the British Second Army, supported by massive artillery programs and RAF air strikes. As a result, the division failed to succeed in its new defensive role, and was slowly weakened by attrition, reducing its combat arms regiments to a weakened Kampfgruppe by mid-July. The Defeat and Attrition of the 12. SS-Panzerdivision Hitlerjugend: Volume II: Operations Martlet, Epsom, Windsor and Charnwood 11 June-12 July 1944 (Casemate, 2026) focuses on the fighting between 11 June and 12 July: the Cristot triangle; the Parc de Boislonde; Fontenay-le-Pesnel; Operation Epsom and the main events of the Battle of the Odon; Operation Windsor and the attack on Carpiquet airfield; and finally the massive Anglo-Canadian assault on Caen, Operation Charnwood.

Women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond are crushing courses around the world. At a time when we've been preconditioned to believe we'll slow down, many women are holding strong—or even improving. This week's guest Anna Troup, 56, who has clocked many of her greatest ultrarunning feats since turning 50, is a perfect example. Last year she took first overall (including the men) at the 268-mile (430K) Montane Summer Spine race—Britain's toughest ultra marathon—in 84 hours, 56 minutes, and 37 seconds. This after a 2022 injury that left doctors questioning if she'd ever run again. This week, we talk about her most recent feat: completing the Montane Winter Spine Race this past January in 106 hours, 19 minutes, and 12 seconds—through brutal conditions including gale-force winds literally blowing runners off their feet. We dig into her journey to ultras, how she trains, races, and recovers, her menopause experience, and why more midlife women should line up and give it a go.Anna Troup took up ultra running in 2013 with the sole aim of completing the UTMB, which she did for the first time in 2014. Unexpected success followed, much of it after she turned 50, and she has since won and held course records for many of the UK's toughest single stage ultras including the Arc of Attrition 100, the Lakeland 100, Exodus 100, Wendover Woods 100, the Oner and the Summer Spine and Winter Spine. She has run the women's Fastest Known Time for the Pennine Way and was the first female British finisher in UTMB in 2022. Ultra running has been a family sport since the beginning and she normally competes with Richard Staite, her partner, whilst her two children can be found either running themselves or as volunteers in aid stations. She works as non executive director and has recently moved to the Lake District to be closer to the mountains she loves.Resources:Ultramarathon winner's 'tough and terrifying' race at BBCHow a 55-year-old woman won Britain's toughest ultra marathon outright at Running MattersSign up for our FREE Feisty 40+ newsletter: https://feisty.co/feisty-40/Learn More about our 2026 Feisty Events, including Bike Camps and Cycling Trips: https://feisty.co/events/Follow Us on Instagram:Feisty Menopause: @feistymenopauseHit Play Not Pause Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/807943973376099Support our Partners: Eternal - Get 15% off their services with code FEISTY15 at https://eternal.coMidi Health: You Deserve to Feel Great.

Send a textThe internet lost its mind when the news dropped: David Goggins is entering the Air Force Pararescue pipeline.Instant hot takes. Instant outrage. Instant “he's stealing a slot from some kid.”Trent jumps in solo to break down what's actually happening—and what people are getting completely wrong.First, Goggins isn't taking a slot from an 18-year-old. He's coming in through a retraining slot, the same process used for prior-service members moving into the career field. Second, the pipeline isn't some fragile institution that collapses because a famous guy shows up.Trent digs into the emotional reactions inside the community, the weird internet myths about Indoc credibility, and the bigger picture that most people are missing. Love him or hate him, Goggins shines a massive spotlight on Air Force Special Warfare—and that might be the recruiting exposure the community has been asking for for years.This episode isn't hype. It's context.And maybe a reminder that the loudest opinions online usually understand the least about how the pipeline actually works. goggins-trent-draft⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Ones Ready intro and episode setup 01:10 Why everyone is freaking out about Goggins 03:30 The truth about retraining slots 06:10 Is Goggins “stealing” a pipeline spot? 08:30 Attrition myths and pipeline realities 10:40 Emotional attachment to Indoc and selection 13:00 The wild credibility argument about Goggins 15:20 Quiet professionals vs recruiting reality 17:45 Why most Americans don't know AFSW exists 20:00 Trent's honest take on David Goggins 23:00 Why the exposure could help recruiting 26:30 Potential risks and potential upside 29:20 Will he actually make it through the pipeline? 31:30 The internet reactions and community debates 34:00 Final thoughts on Goggins and the pipeline

After years at the top of the trail and ultra running worlds—Hardrock 100 champion, Nolan's 14 FKT holder, and consistent podium finisher—Sabrina Stanley's life changed overnight when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2025. What followed were multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, medical menopause, and ongoing immunotherapy.In this conversation with host and friend Corrine Malcolm, Sabrina shares what it's like to navigate cancer while still training as a professional athlete, why ultra running prepared her for treatment, and how redefining success has helped her return to racing at the Arc of Attrition 100—one of the harshest winter ultras in the world.She opens up about:Returning to ultra running after cancerHer OnlyFans sponsorship, and having autonomy over your body and career as a female athleteHow ultra running helped in her cancer journeyWhat it means to race before you feel “ready”Whether you're an athlete, a cancer survivor, or someone navigating massive life change, let's redefine what success and strength look like.This episode is brought to you by rabbit.

In this conversation, Sabrina Stanley reflects on returning to competition after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the peak of her ultrarunning career. She recounts the medical uncertainty that followed her initial diagnosis, the surgeries, chemotherapy, and ongoing immunotherapy that reshaped more than a year of her life. Stanley discusses racing again while still in recovery, including her recent return at the Arc of Attrition 100, and what it meant to simply reach the start line.She also speaks candidly about her complicated relationship with the sport itself -why she doesn't closely follow ultrarunning, how she intentionally limits her exposure to public opinion, and how she has built a professional career largely insulated from external narratives. The conversation touches on her partnership with OnlyFans, her views on athlete autonomy and body regulation, and the tradeoffs of stepping outside traditional sponsorship models while continuing to pursue elite performance.Timestamps:00:00 Sabrina's Unique Perspective on Ultra Running06:14 The Misunderstood World of OnlyFans12:03 The Impact of Ovarian Cancer on Sabrina's Career24:30 Navigating Cancer and Social Connections27:55 Training Through Treatment: A Personal Journey39:01 The Ongoing Battle: Living with Uncertainty44:56 Racing Again, Arc of Attrition 100 MilerPartners:Raide - Making equipment for efficient human-powered movement in the mountains (https://raideresearch.com/singletrack)Precision Fuel and Hydration - use code SINGLETRACK at checkout for 15% off your next order (https://www.precisionhydration.com/planner/?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=singletrack)Norda - check out the 005: the lightest, fastest, most stable trail racing shoe ever made (https://nordarun.com/)Janji - premium trail running apparel (https://janji.com/)Support the show
John Hardie reports that Russia continues targeting heat and light infrastructure in Kyiv, while Ukraine retaliates by striking Russian infrastructure. The segment examines the escalating war of attrition against civilian utilities as both sides seek to undermine morale and economic capacity through systematic attacks on essential services.1855 CRIMEA
SEARCH AND DESTROY AND THE FAILURE OF ATTRITION Colleague Geoffrey Wawro. General Westmoreland implemented a strategy of attrition aimed at reaching a "crossover point" where enemies were killed faster than they could be replaced, requiring the construction of massive infrastructure and thousands of firebases. However, this "search and destroy" tactic largely failed because the enemy avoided contact 90% of the time, retreating to sanctuaries when threatened and choosing when to fight. The strategy proved ineffective against an adversary willing to wait out American patience, as US operations often resulted in a "swing and a miss" rather than decisive engagement. NUMBER 11
