Mark Saxton, CEO of Baird Medical, highlights their microwave ablation technology, which is being used to address a significant treatment gap for benign thyroid nodules. This minimally invasive approach is an alternative to radiofrequency ablation, accommodates patients with pacemakers or other cardiac devices, and provides faster recovery. Unlike surgery, microwave ablation preserves thyroid function, eliminating the need for ongoing hormone replacement therapy Mark explains, "It's very interesting that we're focused on thyroid tumors because they're an extremely prevalent issue. Most of those tumors are benign, and for many of those patients, active surveillance, or what we call watchful waiting, is appropriate. But a portion of those may need more than that. Their nodules are growing, they're becoming symptomatic either cosmetically or they're compressing on their throat, and that becomes extremely bothersome for them." "A minimally invasive option, like a microwave, may be more appropriate for those patients than a surgery would be. The bottom line is there's still a huge gap between diagnosis and treatment, and that's an exciting problem for us to want to solve." "So surgery is extremely safe and very appropriate in many patients, but there is a scar, it's a surgery, you're under general anesthetic. The other thing that surgery does is if we do a thyroidectomy, we may be destroying the thyroid's ability, obviously, then to provide the hormones, T3 and T4, that regulate some of our metabolism. So with the microwave, we just destroy the nodule. We don't impact thyroid function in that way, so patients don't need that hormone replacement. So that's another great reason to move forward with something more minimally invasive." #BairdMedical #MicrowaveAblation #ThyroidMWA #MWA #ThyroidCare #ThyroidNodules #MinimallyInvasive #InterventionalEndocrinology #Endocrinology #PatientCare #MedicalDevices BairdMed.com Listen to the podcast here

The event includes networking, breakfast and a spirited discussion of the latest news in our area. Our panel includes: Stacy Durbin, Semonin Realtors; Jakeeva Lee, Greater Louisville Association of Realtors; and Jon Mand, Lenihan Sotheby's. Tickets and registration are available here.The Starks Building project, which aims to add residential housing at the corner of 4th Street and Muhammad Ali, could be huge for Downtown Louisville. We go over the latest with the long-delayed effort on this week's Access Louisville podcast.Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett is on the podcast this week to tell us about the recent sale of 315 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd., which is next door to the Starks, and how it could fit into the project. A group of investors including developer Jeff Underhill (who's behind the Starks project) just bought the building for $300,000. Amazingly, that purchase price is down from $2.5 million just a year or so ago. Stinnett notes that the developers have yet to secure financing for the Starks redo. But Underhill said the purchase of 315 W. Muhammad Ali adds several advantages to the project, if and when it gets off the ground. For one, the inclusion of 315 W. Muhammad Ali in the project creates the potential for a rooftop bar or recreation area on the fifth floor roof, something Underhill said would be unfeasible on the taller Starks Building. More detail on that story here.Also on the show we also talk about a new entrepreneurial space in NuLu, the latest with the Highlands "moist" vote and a new burrito joint heading to St. Matthews.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Tickets and registration are available here.We have a little bit of everything on this week's Access Louisville podcast. Reporter Olivia Estright tells us about a new 200-home subdivision being built in Jeffersonville, called Kings Crossing. It's being built by Land-Mill Developers Inc. at 4785 Walker Way in Jeffersonville, Indiana, according to listing agent Matthew Henegar. The homes, with functional layouts and high-end finishes, range from $360,000 to $375,000."We can facilitate anybody in that price point from first-time homebuyers to last-time homebuyers," he'd told Estright. That figure is much higher than what this market has seen for starter homes in the past, though it does seem to fit with the nationwide narrative of soring home prices. After that, we go over the latest with former Kentucky Venues CEO David Beck, who was recently ousted from his position in a surprising development.We also chat about Estright's story about an executive at GE Appliances who recently celebrated the seemingly unheard of milestone of 60-years with the same company. And we go over the latest fallout from violence on Bardstown Road, including the news that Atomic is getting its liquor license back with restrictions, a judgement from the state on Baxter's 942 liquor license and a petition that would limit alcohol sales on Bardstown Road.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Tickets and registration are available here.The Olmsted Parks wrap around Louisville like a string of pearls. And we chat about this civic jewelry on this week's Access Louisville podcast.Mary Grissom, president and CEO of the Olmsted Parks Conservancy, is on the show this week for an interview with LBF Editor-in-Chief Shea Van Hoy. The two talk about the history of the parks and bringing the renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted to the city, how the conservancy works with Louisville Metro Government and how the system sets the city a part from its peers."This is the original. This is the national legacy for Louisville," she said.She also speaks about the Olmsted Parks Conservancy's plans for restorative work at Chickasaw Park, following a $5 million anonymous donation.After the U.S. Civil War, Grissom explained, Olmsted personally believed in public parks that were open to all — our disunity as a nation had to do with us not being able to see the humanity in each other. In the 1920s, the city of Louisville went against those values and segregated its parks. It was around that time that Chickasaw Park was created on 61-acres and the city brought back the Olmsted firm to design that park, giving it the dubious distinction as the only segregated park developed by the firm. That said, the park is a very special place for generations of Black Louisvillians. And because of that, Grissom said she was honored that the conservancy can use the $5 million donation to work on upgrades and restoration there, including lighting, benches, playgrounds and walking paths.There'll be a refreshed master plan that's created with the feedback of park users and nearby residents "to ensure that both nature and park amenities are tended to," she said.Elsewhere in the system, she talked about restoration of the pavilion at big rock in Cherokee Park, building conservancy membership and bridging the gap between generations of park users. "We want to make sure that Olmsted parks are here for everyone. Always. Period."Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

En esta ocasión: "GEARS OF WAR 2". Gears of War 2 continúa la historia de la humanidad en el planeta Sera, donde la Coalición de Gobiernos Ordenados (CGO) sigue luchando por sobrevivir contra la amenaza de los Locust, una poderosa raza subterránea que ha devastado ciudades enteras desde el Día de la Emergencia. Tras los acontecimientos del primer juego, Marcus Fenix y el Escuadrón Delta son enviados a una misión crucial para detener los ataques cada vez más destructivos del enemigo. Los Locust han comenzado a hundir ciudades completas mediante gigantescas criaturas conocidas como Riftworms, poniendo a la humanidad al borde de la extinción. Para enfrentar esta amenaza, la CGO lanza una ofensiva masiva hacia el subsuelo, invadiendo el territorio enemigo en una operación sin precedentes. Durante la campaña, Marcus, Dom, Baird y Cole atraviesan peligrosos escenarios, combaten hordas de enemigos y descubren secretos sobre el origen y la organización de los Locust. Paralelamente, Dom mantiene la esperanza de encontrar a su esposa María, desaparecida durante años, lo que añade una fuerte carga emocional a la historia.

LDG filed a lawsuit on June 11 in Jefferson County Circuit Court, alleging the St. Matthews City Council and its mayor improperly blocked the development despite its compliance with zoning ordinances. Gilmans Pointe was planned to have 199 apartment units with rents ranging from $2,100 to $2,700. The complex would be located at 4101 Westport Road, previously occupied by Plant Kingdom.This prompts us into a discussion of why new apartment proposals are frequently met with anger from nearby residents. After that, we chat about a decision by Yum Brands Inc. to sell Pizza Hut. As reported recently, Yum Brands. Pizza Hut, excluding in Mainland China, will be acquired by LongRange Capital, a private equity firm. Pizza Hut in Mainland China will be acquired by Yum China Holdings Inc.This prompts a discussion about some of the challenges the pizza sector as a whole has been facing, everything from increased competition to a trend on protein heavy diets.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

85 Years Old and Still Preaching: Why Al Baird Refuses to Retire What keeps a Christian faithful, fruitful, and full of vision at 85 years old? In this inspiring episode, Rob sits down with Dr. Al Baird, longtime church leader, teacher, and disciple-maker, who is still actively preaching and helping churches grow decades into his Christian journey. After losing his wife Gloria following 56 years of marriage, Al faced the challenge of finding purpose in a new season of life. Rather than slowing down, he accepted an opportunity to help revitalize the church in Bakersfield, California—a congregation that had lost momentum, vision, and hope. In this conversation, Al shares: • Why every Christian needs a dream • How he navigated life after losing Gloria • The opportunity he saw in Bakersfield • What happens when churches lose vision • Why retirement can be one of the most powerful seasons of ministry • How contribution and participation began growing again • Lessons learned from decades of ministry • The incredible example of George and Irene Gurganus • Why Christians should never retire spiritually • Practical advice for staying faithful over the long haul This conversation is filled with wisdom, perspective, and encouragement for Christians of every age. If you've ever wondered how to finish strong, this episode is for you. Connect with Rob:

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ | 06.07.2026 | Dcn. Michael Baird by Lourdes Denver
John is joined by Arlo Parks and Baird to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘Ambiguous Desire'. Arlo Parks is an indie-pop singer-songwriter from West London. After uploading demos to BBC Introducing as a teenager, she quickly attracted industry attention. Her debut album, ‘Collapsed in Sunbeams', arrived in 2021, establishing Arlo as one of the defining artists of her generation and earning her the Mercury Prize and two Grammy nominations. Arlo's third record, the more electronic-focused ‘Ambiguous Desire', was released in April 2026, co-written and produced by Baird, along with additional collaborators Paul Epworth and Sampha. Sitting down at Strongroom Studios in London, with Baird joining online, Arlo and Baird discuss the “runaway train” of their symbiotic creative process and how they recreated the feel of the club and dancefloor through the record's distinctive grooves. They share never previously heard freestyles, demos and vocal tracking secrets from the studio, and they answer questions from our Patreon community!

Denver-based Teriyaki Madness has leased space at 1225 Veterans Parkway in Clarksville, Indiana, between Chillburger and The Joint Chiropractic.We also chat about a change in menu at Louie's Hot Chicken (it's going back to hot chicken after a brief flirtation with soups and sandwiches), a bakery that just moved into Floyds Knobs and the revival of Porkland BBQ following a zoning saga. Later in the show we talk about how the shutdown of I-65 is treating us thus far. The interstate closed on Monday and is to remained that way for two months as bridges are being repaired along it. We get into whether the relative smoothness of the shutdown bolsters the case for supporters of the 8664 plan.

Our first-ever podcast guest, John Taft, returns nearly 100 episodes later. John is a Vice Chair of Baird. He was previously the CEO of RBC's U.S. wealth management business through the Great Financial Crisis, overseeing nearly 7,000 employees and almost $300 billion in assets. He chaired SIFMA, the leading securities industry trade association, and testified before Congress during the post-crisis reforms.John has spent more than 40 years in finance, but he didn't start there. He set out to be a newspaper journalist. Then, on a reporting assignment in Lowell, Massachusetts, he watched community leaders use the tools of finance to rebuild a burnt-out industrial city — and realized he didn't just want to write about that work; he wanted to do it.John wrote Stewardship: Lessons Learned from the Lost Culture of Wall Street, followed by A Force for Good: How Enlightened Finance Can Restore Faith in Capitalism. Today he's helping oversee $560B in assets, writes the blog Finance for the Greater Good, and is one of three founding members of the Scholars of Finance Advisory Board.In this episode, John returns to discuss what he's seen happen to the industry — and where it needs to go next. He and Ross dig into the financialization of the economy, the "disease of grandiosity" infecting leaders across sectors, and why financial services have grown larger than necessary to serve the real economy. They get to the productive heart of finance — what John calls "helping real people in the real world solve real problems and achieve real goals" — and the speculative noise crowding it out, from prediction markets and zero-day options to leveraged inverse ETFs and much of the digital asset ecosystem. They also explore AI's coming impact on capital allocation, the widening gap between rich and poor, and why John believes the next ten years will demand more stewardship from finance, not less.Meet John John Taft is a Vice Chair of Baird and a member of the firm's Executive Committee. Earlier in his career, he was a managing director at Piper, Jaffray & Hopwood; president and CEO of Voyageur Asset Management; president and CEO of Dougherty Summit Securities; and a consultant at Deloitte & Touche. He currently serves on the boards of Riverfront Investment Group, Octavus Group, Baird Trust, and Sagard.John holds a B.A. magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from Yale University, and a master's degree in public and private management from the Yale School of Organization and Management. He serves as Vice Chair of the Minneapolis Foundation, is an active member of the Itasca Project, and is an Executive in Residence at the Wake Forest University Center for the Study of Capitalism.He credits his family — including his great-grandfather, 27th U.S. President William Howard Taft — for instilling the core values that shape his definition of business success and his belief in the importance of treating every person with dignity.

You look like you have it all handled. So why are you so exhausted?Kristen Baird-Goldman is a licensed therapist, ADHD specialist, and author of The CBT Workbook for Adults with ADHD. She has spent more than 15 years working with high-achieving neurodivergent women, and she is the owner and clinical director of the Neurodiversity Care Center in Los Angeles.Diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s, and someone medication never worked for, Kristen has built her practice around the quiet cost of high performance, especially for women moving through perimenopause. She treats ADHD as a whole-body issue, looking at the nervous system, hormones, and functional health instead of one more productivity hack.In this episode, Tracy and Kristen get into why hyperfocus fools you into thinking you are fine, what high performance is actually doing to your brain and body underneath the productivity, and what real recovery looks like. If you have built an identity around doing more and pushing through, this one is your permission slip to stop.Resources:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristen.bairdgoldmanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theadhdguruLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristen-baird-goldman-6178817Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@KristenBaird-GoldmanSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

Beat Migs! Are we in trouble?
Attracting former residents back to Louisville — boomerangs, as they're known — could potentially be a way to increase the city's population. But there are challenges to it. LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett joins us to talk about some of those issues on this week's Access Louisville podcast.Stinnett just wrapped up a cover story on the topic of boomerangs and how they fit into Louisville's growth strategy. The biggest stumbling block is the job market. In spite job gains in some sectors, Louisville doesn't have a lot of options for people holding advance degrees. Those jobs are often confined to bigger metropolises. Stinnett also looked at programs that small cities like Topeka, Kansas and Tulsa, Oklahoma have implemented in order to address a similar problem. After the boomerang discussion, we chat with Reporter Michael L. Jones about the financial troubles being experienced by Memorial Auditorium in Louisville and how a looming Metro budget cut may impact it. We also chat about an upcoming move by The Whirling Tiger, the closure of the Bristol Bar & Grille restaurant in Downtown Louisville and a pending relocation for Texas Roadhouse in Clarksville.

What happens when a book launch stops being about the book? It becomes a room full of stories. In this special LIVE edition of The MisFitNation, Rich LaMonica travels virtually to Southwest Oklahoma Brewing Company as US Army Veteran TJ Baird launches Warrior Dad surrounded by family, fellow veterans, friends, readers, and the community that helped shape his journey. TJ served 32 years in the Army, including nine combat deployments, but this conversation goes far beyond military service. This episode explores the quieter battles: The birthdays missed. The phone calls made from overseas. The cost of service on families. The transition from warrior to father. And the legacy we leave behind when the uniform finally comes off. What unfolds is not a traditional interview. It becomes a gathering. Family members share memories. Brothers-in-arms reflect on service. The “Warrior Wife” joins the conversation. Veterans laugh, remember, and honor those no longer with us. And TJ shares why Warrior Dad Stories is becoming more than a book — a growing platform built around storytelling, resilience, and helping others share their journeys. Topics Covered: • Leadership after service • Fatherhood and military life • Veteran transition • Family sacrifice • Purpose and identity • Resilience and recovery • Memorial Day reflections • Building legacy Key Moments: 00:00 Welcome to Warrior Dad Stories LIVE 24:00 Fatherhood after service 44:00 Family reflections 58:00 Warrior Wife joins the conversation 1:12:00 Leadership lessons from military life 1:38:00 The future of Warrior Dad Stories Some stories entertain.
