A federal whistleblower exposed DOGE's unauthorized data grab — and within hours of Elon Musk publicly targeting him, someone cut his brake lines. California's primary ballots are still being counted, and Donald Trump is already on Truth Social at 1 a.m. screaming fraud before a single race is called. An LAPD internal report just used a word you never want to see attached to police officers: gang. Hunter College Professor and Author Dr. Calvin John Smiley joins us to break it all down.

Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis (LET) has become an accepted adjunct to standard anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction to help provide additional rotational stability to the knee and lower the risk of re-tears. The classic situation to perform this surgery would be at the same time as an ACL reconstruction in a patient with a high degree of rotational instability or in a patient who has already had ACL surgery and re-torn. However, might there be a role for LET performed as a standalone procedure? A subset of patients following ACL surgery will have a knee that is very stable in the anterior-to-posterior (front-to-back) direction but continues to demonstrate some degree of rotational instability. Could an LET performed in isolation provide these patients with that additional rotational stability and thus lower their risk of another injury, or is that a crazy idea?

What if your team's biggest problem… ISN'T behavior? What if it's belief? Seriously. Because in this conversation, workplace culture expert Dr. Jessica Kriegel drops one of the most important leadership truths we've heard on DREAM THINK DO in a LONG time: "People act in alignment with their beliefs." BOOM. And once you hear her unpack that idea… you'll never think about leadership, accountability, workplace culture, or even your own behavior the same way again. Jessica is the Chief Strategy Officer at Culture Partners, former VP of Workplace Culture at Oracle, keynote speaker, podcast host, and co-author of the upcoming book Surrender to Lead. She's spent years helping organizations—from Fortune 100 companies to hospitals to manufacturing plants—transform culture from the inside out. But what makes this conversation so powerful isn't just the research… It's the honesty. Because Jessica doesn't just talk about culture. She talks about fear. Control. Burnout. Micromanagement. Faith. Surrender. And the exhausting pressure so many leaders quietly carry every single day. Including a moment where she made a radically transparent leadership decision during company-wide layoffs… and it completely changed the outcome. (Seriously… this story alone is worth the listen.) This episode is practical, deeply human, and packed with powerful insights on: Why most leaders are stuck in "The Action Trap" How fear quietly shapes workplace behavior And why surrender—not control—often leads to the BEST results If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to lead people, influence culture, or carry responsibility well… this conversation is going to hit home.

What happens when faith, literacy, racial trauma, and liberation all collide in one powerful conversation?I recently sat down with New York native Dr. Yusuf Malik Frederick, author of the groundbreaking book I Love Islam but I'm Tired of Muslims: How Spiritual Abuse and Racial Trauma Intersect to Cause Psychological Distress Among African American Muslims.This wasn't just an interview. This was a necessary conversation.Dr. Frederick talked about the painful realities that led him to write a book that has so many people — especially within the Black Muslim community — reflecting, healing, and finally having conversations that have been silenced for far too long.But what made this discussion even more powerful was our conversation about literacy and access to information. We talked about how reading is more than a skill — it is a tool of empowerment. Literacy gives Black people the ability to think critically, challenge harmful systems, heal through knowledge, and reclaim our narratives.Throughout this thought-provoking episode, one message remained clear: literacy is deeply connected to liberation.If you care about faith, healing, education, Black empowerment, or the power of reading to transform lives, this is an episode you need to hear.Let's grow!Click the link to purchase Dr. Yusuf's book.Also follow him on Facebook and IG at Dr. Yusuf Malik Frederickwww.crescentwellnessfoundation.orgClick the link if you're looking for a pre-k-4th grade reading tutor https://abclearntutoring.com/Click the link to donate to ABC READhttps://abcread.org/https://www.amazon.com/H-R-Healed-Empowered-Resilient/dp/B0FCFJWP59/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1S51VDD2Z33P0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.SL9bpHu07vumWhZcWDoWp6C1mGXe_0wIKpjqKHc7DnKta-En71ZgxgTCDWi3LiqR_9oo32Q6rpTQ-7iK5hF8q5iVn6s0R0tHP5klRWKVt7c.emIvzHJzKgkAb1srcu_VYhfodYZ76E_rM_xYYFmsBu0&dib_tag=se&keywords=h.e.r.+healed%2C+empowered+resilient+book&qid=1779246459&sprefix=%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-1

In this rich and honest conversation, Lantz Howard talks with longtime friend Dr. Matt Paden, co-author of the new USA Today bestselling book The Core. Matt shares the powerful story behind the book, his major life transitions over the past two years, and why great leadership is far more about who you are than what you can do.They explore ego vs. humility, the power of vulnerability, leading for the good of others, and how to navigate seasons of massive change in leadership, marriage, and family life.Character beats skills for long-term success. Skills get you the seat, but character keeps you there and sustains your influence.Ego out of control leads to destruction. The story of Haman vs. Mordecai in the Book of Esther shows that two people can have the exact same job — but completely different outcomes based on their character.Work for the good of your people. The best leaders focus on service over self-promotion. Ask: “Am I working for the good of the people I lead?”Vulnerability is strength, not weakness. Pretending to know everything breeds cynicism and toxicity. Admitting what you don't know builds trust and unleashes your team.Leadership is messy, complex, and often lonely. Don't try to do it alone — get a coach, build a trusted circle, and stay humble.Seasons of massive change are normal. Matt's transition from higher education executive to entrepreneur, author, and company founder shows that change, while hard, can lead to rich growth.Strengthen your core first. When your inner life (character, humility, self-awareness) is healthy, everything else — team performance, marriage, family, and influence — improves.Date nights and marriage rhythms still matter in busy seasons. Even high-achieving leaders must intentionally protect time with their spouse.Resources Mentioned:Buy the Book: The Core by Dr. Matt Paden & Dr. Ken Jones (USA Today Bestseller)Learn more about Great Days Leadership – Coaching and Consulting organizationSubscribe to the podcast: Bad Days Leadership Podcast --Learn more about coaching with Lantz Howard at www.lantzhoward.com

Counselor, College Professor and Author Dr. Larry Pfaff discussed his book with us, forcing on why knowing that do do with change is not enough.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This discussion explores climate change through the lens of leadership, human behavior, and systems design, drawing on Dr. Katharine K. Wilkinson's experience across academia, consulting, and nonprofit leadership. Rather than revisiting scientific consensus, the conversation focuses on a more practical question: why progress remains uneven despite clear evidence and available solutions. A central theme is the structural disconnect between natural systems and modern economic models. As Wilkinson observes, "that is not how nature functions… everything in nature is cycles. There is no such thing as waste." Yet many industries continue to operate on linear, extractive models—creating tension between how systems work and how they are designed. Her experience in consulting reinforces that execution challenges are rarely technical alone. "Often they were about people… leadership and culture," with outcomes shaped by alignment, values, and clarity of purpose rather than strategy in isolation. The discussion also reframes climate as a broader systems risk. Wilkinson highlights that "we are actively outstripping seven of nine planetary boundaries," underscoring that the issue extends beyond emissions into the stability of core systems that support economic and social life. At the same time, there is a critical perception gap. "89% of people around the world want to see more climate action… it's just that they think they're in the minority." This misalignment between private concern and perceived consensus limits coordinated action, particularly within institutions. On engagement, the conversation challenges the assumption that more data drives change. "It is not a shortage of good, robust science… but it's now kind of wound up in people's identity." More effective entry points are often values, lived experiences, and areas of shared interest. Importantly, contribution does not require wholesale career shifts. Wilkinson emphasizes embedding action into existing decisions: "we don't need to be taking on whole new things… we can find footholds… woven right into our days," from capital allocation to operational choices. The concept of climate wayfinding anchors the discussion. Leadership in this context is less about certainty and more about navigation: "the future is not yet written… the future lives between us." Progress comes from moving from isolation to collective action, and from concern to contribution. Two broader principles emerge. First, relationships are foundational: "who we get to do it with… has everything to do with whether that work actually feels good." Second, better outcomes depend on better questions—recognizing that "the questions are companions… invitations into exploration and discovery." The result is a grounded perspective on addressing complex, system-level challenges—focused less on abstract solutions and more on how individuals and institutions can act within the realities they already inhabit.

Low Energy Doesn't Work When Presenting Why does low energy ruin a business presentation? If we do not grab attention and interest at the start, our message disappears. That is the core problem with low-energy presenting. A speaker can be intelligent, prepared, well read, and backed by strong content, yet still fail to leave any memorable impression. When the delivery lacks force, the audience hears the words but does not retain them. When the opening feels ordinary, the talk feels optional rather than compelling. Many business presentations fall into this trap. The presenter covers the material, answers the questions, and gets through the slides. On paper, the job looks complete. In reality, the talk does not create impact. The audience does not feel moved, challenged, surprised, or inspired. There is no sense of wow. The presentation simply fades away. Good is not enough. Competent is not enough. We need another ten degrees of heat. That extra energy changes how the room responds. It changes whether people lean in or tune out. Mini-summary: Strong content alone does not create a strong presentation. Energy and impact decide whether the audience remembers us or forgets us. What does a flat opening do to an audience? A flat opening tells the audience that nothing important has started. That is dangerous, because people arrive with full minds and fragmented attention. They are already thinking about emails, phones, meetings, deadlines, and the internet. If our opening sounds like a continuation of casual chat, we fail to draw a line between ordinary conversation and formal presentation. If the speaker's voice before the talk and at the start of the talk stays at the same level, and the body language also stays the same, there is no signal that the presentation has truly begun. The audience receives no energetic cue to stop, focus, and listen. If the speaker does not change gear, the room does not change gear either. This matters because first impressions are decisive in presenting. We only get a few seconds to secure attention. The audience must quickly feel that something worth hearing is now happening. Without that sharp transition, the message struggles to get into their consciousness. Mini-summary: A weak opening does not just feel dull. It actively prevents the audience from shifting into listening mode. Why do presenters need a stronger opening than they think? Presenters often assume that if they are prepared, the audience will naturally pay attention. That assumption is wrong. The audience does not arrive empty and ready. The audience arrives mentally crowded. Because attention spans are small and distractions are everywhere, we need to break into their awareness with deliberate force. We need a crowbar and a jemmy to get into the audience's full brain. Attention is not given automatically. We have to earn it. Our first words must tell people that the talk has begun, that they should pay attention, and that they should stop whatever mental activity came before this moment. A stronger opening does not mean random loudness or artificial drama. It means intentional design. We need opening words that carry hooks. We need a beginning that creates curiosity, tension, surprise, imagery, or credibility. A presenter who plans this well makes it easier for the audience to grant attention and keep granting it. Mini-summary: Audiences do not hand over attention for free. We must claim it quickly and deliberately through a purposeful opening. What kinds of hooks make an opening memorable? Several practical hooks help a presentation cut through. One option is story. If we lure the audience into a scene, they begin to picture it mentally. That matters because word pictures engage imagination, and imagination increases attention. Another option is a striking statistic. When a number surprises people, it interrupts routine thinking and makes the brain take notice. A third option is a quotation from a famous person. That can add instant credibility and frame the argument with authority. The common principle behind all of these hooks is design. We cannot leave the opening to chance. We must decide in advance how we will get cut through. A presentation opening should never be an accidental warm-up. It should be a calculated intervention. This is particularly important in business settings, where audiences often think they already know what is coming. A well-designed opening disrupts that assumption. It says this talk deserves fresh attention. Mini-summary: Memorable openings rely on deliberate hooks such as story, vivid imagery, surprising statistics, or credible quotations. Planning creates cut through. How do voice, eyes, and body language increase presentation power? Delivery creates physical presence, and physical presence helps capture attention. Five important resources are eyes, voice, gestures, posture, and positioning. These are not optional extras. They are part of the message. Voice comes first because it breaks into audience consciousness fast. When we lift our volume, people stop what they are doing and listen. A stronger voice signals urgency and importance. When we support the voice with a gesture, the overall impact grows. The audience sees and hears our intent at the same time. Eye contact needs precision. We cannot spread weak eye contact across the whole room and expect impact. Instead, we should choose one person near the middle and give that person strong eye contact for around six seconds. Then we repeat that process across the audience. In a large room, that still works because people near the intended recipient often feel included in the gaze. Positioning also matters. If we move physically closer to the audience, we increase immediacy. If the audience is seated and we remain standing, our height adds to presence. That physical advantage can help reinforce authority and focus. Mini-summary: Presentation power comes from coordinated delivery. A stronger voice, targeted eye contact, clear gestures, and purposeful movement make the speaker harder to ignore. Why is it better to start strong than build energy slowly? A good start is easier to continue than trying to build up power gradually. This matters because audiences make early judgements. If we start small, they often categorise the talk as low priority. Once that happens, it becomes much harder to lift the room later. A slow energy build may feel natural to the speaker, but it usually works against audience psychology. People decide quickly whether to commit attention. Because of that, the presenter should begin with enough energy to command the room, then maintain that level throughout the talk. We can vary that delivery with vocal range and pauses, but the baseline energy must stay alive. If a talk starts small, stays small, and finishes small, the entire presentation remains muted, flat, unremarkable, and forgettable. That is the cost of not turning up the inner thermometer. Mini-summary: Starting strong gives the presenter control early. Starting small makes it difficult to recover audience attention later. What practical steps help speakers avoid forgettable presentations? First, we should recognise that audiences are almost comatose when we begin. That does not insult the audience; it reminds us how much competition there is for attention. Second, we should remember that modern attention spans are tiny and distractions are constant. Third, we should actively search for a wow opening rather than settling for a routine start. Fourth, we should marshal every available tool: eyes, voice, body language, gestures, posture, and positioning. Great presenting is not just about words. It is about total delivery. Fifth, we should begin with strength rather than hope to grow into it later. When we apply these actions, we stop treating presenting as a simple transfer of information. We start treating it as a high-impact communication event. That shift changes outcomes. Audiences notice, remember, and respond. Mini-summary: Speakers avoid mediocrity by planning a wow opening, using all delivery tools, and maintaining strong energy from start to finish.

What should a neurologist do when a routine MRI for migraine reveals incidental white matter lesions that look remarkably like Multiple Sclerosis (MS), despite the patient having no neurological symptoms? The Editors' Choice paper for the April 2026 issue of Practical Neurology is a practical guide to the clinical diagnosis and management of radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS). Author Dr. Audrey Reynolds¹ joins PN podcast editor Dr. Amy Ross Russell to discuss her work on how updated diagnostic criteria and advanced imaging markers now enable a more proactive, biological approach to the disease. Their discussion highlights the importance of risk stratification - using tools like CSF analysis and spinal imaging - to identify those most likely to benefit from early intervention with disease-modifying therapies. They also examine the delicate balance between preventing future disability and avoiding misdiagnosis in this rapidly evolving area of neurology.

Arts Respond with Lucy Gellman: Author Dr. Ainissa Ramirez Spark by WNHH Community Radio

The importance of the mind-body connection in Sports Medicine is well-established and continues to be a hot topic of study and conversation. This connection between psychological and physical is especially noted with ACL injuries, surgery, and rehabilitation. Dr. Brian M. Devitt, MD, PhD from UPMC Sports Surgery Clinic in Dublin, Ireland joins us to discuss his team's work examining psychological readiness and return to play rates in elite versus nonelite athletes. One might assume that the elite athlete, perhaps with more personal athletic identity and rehab resources would outperform the nonelite athlete, but does that actually play out?

Dr. Kate Lund has spent much of her career as a psychologist studying children and parenting.  She's distilled much of what she's learned in her most recent book, Step Away: The Keys to Resilient Parenting.  In this episode, she describes who she persevered during her own childhood challenges and offers great advice for how we can all remain resilient during these difficult times.    Chapters: 00:00 Overcoming Childhood Challenges  Dr. Kate Lund, a clinical psychologist and author, shares her personal journey of growing up with hydrocephalus, including multiple surgeries and feeling different from her peers. Despite these difficulties, her family's support and their focus on 'what you can do' fostered an early sense of optimism and resilience within her.  03:32 Optimism and Parental Influence  Dr. Lund discusses whether optimism is innate or learned, attributing her own glass-half-full perspective to her upbringing and her parents' positive attitudes. She shares a touching anecdote about her father, who, despite battling Parkinson's disease, taught her the importance of participation over perfection.  09:02 Journey to Psychology and Career Shift  Kate reflects on her early interest in people and medical situations, which eventually led her to pursue psychology in college. After a White House internship, she realized that the fast-paced media world was not for her, solidifying her path toward a career in psychology where she could truly flourish.  11:58 The Pillars of Resilient Children  Dr. Lund explains how her focus on parenting and resilience originated from her fellowship at Schreiner's Hospital, where she studied the impact of serious medical situations on children and their parents. She introduces her 'seven pillars of the resilient child,' emphasizing resilience as a foundational lifestyle for overall well-being.  15:00 Creating Optimism in Kids  Discussing the societal trend of 'bubble wrapping' children, Dr. Lund advocates for building resilience to empower kids from the inside out. She emphasizes creating optimism by intentionally focusing on daily positive experiences, a practice she believes helps shift perspectives from negative self-talk to a more positive outlook.  19:22 Social Media's Impact on Parenting  Dr. Lund addresses the significant impact of social media on parenting and children's well-being, particularly in exacerbating comparison and anxiety, using the college admissions process as an example. She stresses the importance of teaching children to understand their unique context and the curated reality often presented on social platforms.  25:49 Resilient Parenting and Authenticity  Dr. Lund introduces her book, 'Step Away,' which focuses on parents creating space for their own well-being to better support their families. She discusses developing a resilient mindset by managing stress responses and fostering authentic human connections with children, emphasizing the importance of sharing personal challenges in a developmentally appropriate way.  33:40 Grit, Perseverance, and Letting Kids Learn  Dr. Lund acknowledges the importance of grit, as popularized by Angela Duckworth, as a crucial component of resilience. She discusses the tough parental dilemma of when to intervene versus when to let children face consequences to foster learning and self-advocacy.  38:50 Fostering Optimism and Future Projects  Dr. Lund reiterates the importance of the 'daily wins' exercise and helping children see possibilities beyond challenges to build lasting optimism. She concludes by discussing her new podcast, 'Resilient Parenting with Dr. Kate,' which complements her latest book and offers insights for parents.

Even the best laid plans go astray. The deal is done, the money is paid, and then something goes wrong in delivery—minor or catastrophic. The buyer doesn't care which department caused it. They expect you to fix it and take accountability, because in their eyes you are the firm.  In Japan, this is amplified because you are the tanto—the designated person responsible for the account—so "I'm busy" is not an acceptable answer. They expect you to be available, and if mistakes happen, they expect you to move fast and make it right.  If delivery goes wrong after purchase, who does the buyer hold responsible? They hold you responsible, even if another department made the mistake. Once the contract is signed, the buyer expects the salesperson to own the problem and fix it, because you're the face of the organisation and the relationship holder.  This is especially true in Japan where the tanto role carries heavy expectations—buyers assume you are on-call and accountable, regardless of internal hand-offs. In the US or Australia, customers may accept "we'll escalate to support," but they still judge the supplier brand by how the salesperson responds. The commercial reality is simple: post-purchase failures threaten renewals, referrals, and the lifetime value of the account. The fix is to show leadership immediately—be calm, own it, and coordinate the internal machine without making excuses. Mini-summary / Do now: Own the issue fast—no blame-shifting, no internal excuses.  What's the first thing you should do when a buyer complains? Shut up and listen—don't react, justify, argue, or cut them off. Your brain will be loud (defensiveness, fear, ego), but you must turn that off and give the buyer your full attention.  Watch their body language, and pay attention to what they're not saying—because the visible problem may be masking deeper issues: they could be under pressure from their boss, worried about their job security, or dealing with angry end customers.  Expect emotion. They may be upset or furious, and your job is to stay calm in the "full frontal gale" coming at you. The moment you start defending yourself, you inflame the situation and lose trust. Mini-summary / Do now: Listen fully, stay calm, and let them finish—no interruptions.  How do you clarify the real problem when the buyer lists "everything" that's wrong? Ask one calm clarifying question to identify the most immediate, highest-priority issue. Buyers often unload a long list, but you need the hierarchy—what must be fixed first to stop damage.  Use wording that shows you're trying to help, not interrogate them: "Thank you—so I can make sure I fix this properly, can I clarify the precise most immediate issue you're facing?" Then stay quiet until they answer.  This approach works across sectors—IT outages, logistics errors, training delivery problems, manufacturing defects—because triage matters. In Japan, asking calmly and patiently is vital because the buyer may be emotional, but they still expect professionalism and control from you. Mini-summary / Do now: Triage the issue: identify the #1 urgent problem before you try to solve everything.  What do you say when the buyer is angry but you don't want to admit fault too early? Use a one-sentence empathy "cushion" that acknowledges their frustration without arguing the facts. You're not agreeing or disagreeing yet—you're recognising the impact on their business and buying yourself thinking time.  Buyers want to know you understand the ramifications of the mistake: reputational damage, lost customers, operational disruption, internal politics.  The cushion is a bridge to action: it signals, "I get it," and then you move straight into what you will do next. The big watch-out is jumping in too fast before your brain is fully engaged—because sloppy words during an angry moment can create a second crisis. Mini-summary / Do now: Say one sentence of empathy, then move to action—don't debate.  How do you restore trust after a post-purchase mistake? Take personal responsibility and do whatever it takes to fix it fast—even if it upsets people internally. Buyers expect you to be 100% accountable for next steps, and you must explicitly state that you are owning it.  This can mean dragging in other divisions, escalating to your boss, or forcing cross-functional cooperation. Do it anyway. The buyer cares about their outcome, not your internal friction.  Keep reinforcing the message: you will make sure it gets fixed as fast as possible. And remember the commercial logic: you're protecting lifetime value—renewals, expansions, long-term partnership. In Japan, where reputation and quality perception are everything, a poor response can stain the brand permanently.  Mini-summary / Do now: State accountability clearly, mobilise internal resources, and fix it quickly.  After you fix it, how do you confirm the buyer is actually satisfied? Ask a test question and then offer additional help to flush out hidden dissatisfaction. You may think you did a sterling job, but only the buyer decides whether it was successful.  Then ask if any remaining problems or issues need work. Buyers sometimes hold back additional pain points, and you want them surfaced now—not months later during renewal when they quietly switch suppliers.  If the fix takes time, keep in contact with frequent progress updates. After time passes, follow up again to confirm the resolution stayed satisfactory and to catch residual issues early.  Mini-summary / Do now: Verify satisfaction, ask what's still wrong, and follow up after the dust settles.  Final conclusion Post-purchase mistakes are not a "service problem"—they are a brand risk and a relationship test. In Japan especially, buyers expect zero defects thinking, not a Western "acceptable defect rate" mindset, so your response must be fast, accountable, and thorough.  Follow the seven steps: listen, question, cushion, take responsibility, test satisfaction, offer additional help, and follow up. Done well, you don't just save the account—you often strengthen trust because the buyer sees how you behave when things go wrong.   About the Author Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Are ovulation predictor kits enough to time intercourse? Can an app really tell you when you're fertile? And what if your body has been giving you the answers all along?  In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine is talking to fertility awareness pioneer Dr.  Are ovulation predictor kits enough to time intercourse? Can an app really tell you when you're fertile? And what if your body has been giving you the answers all along?  In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine is talking to fertility awareness pioneer Toni Weschler, author of Taking Charge of Your Fertility, and her niece, software engineer, Sabrina Nowicki. These three women explore how women can confidently track ovulation, understand cervical fluid, and take charge of their reproductive health with both education and technology. Toni Weschler shares the powerful origin story behind her decades of paper charting and why she once resisted fertility apps altogether. She believed that a thermometer, a pen, and knowledge of your own body were enough.  Sabrina explains how that philosophy evolved into Cyclisity, an educational cycle tracking app designed as the perfect companion to the book. Unlike predictive period apps that rely on algorithms and "average" 28-day cycles, Cyclisity follows the sympto-thermal method exactly as taught in Toni's work. It will finally make sense why basal body temperature confirms ovulation but doesn't predict it, how cervical fluid signals approaching fertility, why ovulation predictor kits can miss critical timing, and how improper app use can delay fertility diagnosis or lead to unintended pregnancy.  This conversation is a masterclass in reproductive education and body literacy while blending science, privacy, and modern technology.

Shoulder and elbow injuries in pitchers are as old as baseball itself. Measures to lower the risk of these injuries have been evolving for decades, with a nationalized though heterogenous effort from state to state implemented in the mid-2010s. Adherence to pitch counts and mandatory days of rest in between outings, for example, are common restrictions placed upon pitchers to try and keep them safe. Dr. Peter Kriz, MD and his team from Boston Children's Hospital look back to see if these policies made any impact. Have the pitching restriction regulations designed to keep pitchers safe actually worked?

Send us a textThe pace of family life can turn even the best intentions into frayed nerves and short fuses. We sat down with Dr. Kate Lund—psychologist, author, TEDx speaker, and host of the Resilient Parenting Podcast—to unpack a practical path back to calm leadership at home. Her core idea is refreshingly doable: step away to step in. By carving out a few minutes to regulate stress and reflect, we show up steadier, more patient, and more connected with our kids.Dr. Lund opens up about her family, including supporting one twin's choice to attend a boarding school that fits his learning style and rowing goals while his brother thrives locally. The message: there's no single right path. When we stop comparing and start scouting for the right environment, kids gain confidence and momentum. She also shares her own story of childhood hydrocephalus, the role of her parents in focusing on possibility, and how those lessons shaped her clinical work with families navigating anxiety, burnout, and big transitions.We dig into two small habits with outsized impact. First, the relaxation response: a five-minute breathing practice, morning and night, anchored by a calming word. It lowers your baseline stress so difficult moments don't spiral. Second, the daily wins exercise: three to five things that went well each day to retrain your attention toward progress. One dad's journey from burnout to renewed joy in sport and family connection shows how tiny, repeatable steps rebuild identity and trust. Along the way we talk patience, gratitude rituals, journaling you'll actually use, and the power of two words to reset the room: breathe and think.If you're balancing career, parenting, and the invisible load, this conversation offers tools you can use tonight.

What do charges of blasphemy against Jesus teach us about who Jesus really is? Clearly the Jews, Scribes, Pharisees, and even Caiaphas the High Priest thought Jesus claimed to be God through what He said and what He did (see Mark 2; Matthew 26; Mark 2; Luke 5; and John 10). Many skeptics, as well as Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter-day Saints have tried explaining away passages like Mark 2, where the Scribes thought Jesus was blaspheming. They believe Jesus only had the authority to forgive sins, not that He was God, the Son, incarnate. This week on the Profile, we will tackle this objection as well as delve into Matthew's account of Caiaphas tearing his robes in Matthew 26:65. Both passages (Mark 2:1-12 and Matthew 26:57-68) are solid evidence that Jesus, the Son of Man, is in fact God the Son, incarnate.

Did Jesus really say He was God? The Scribes, Pharisees, and the High Priest Caiaphas sure understood Jesus to be making that claim. They accused Jesus of blasphemy (see Mark 2; Matthew 26; Mark 2; Luke 5; and John 10). This week and next on the Profile, we will be examining two specific passages where Jesus is accused of blasphemy with apologist, author, and Professor of Bible and theology at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago Dr. Mikel Del Rosario.
