    Welcome Kate Martin to Hurdle! This week on the show, the WNBA player for the Golden State Valkyries and Unrivaled competitor takes us on a deep dive into what it takes to thrive in the professional game, sharing how she's constantly evolving both on and off the court. Kate opens up about the major adjustments she’s made since leaving college—not just to the rigorous WNBA schedule, but to her own mindset. She discusses the chaotic travel and the importance of finding those small windows to optimize her body, sharing the hydration and mobility hacks that are her non-negotiable recovery tools. Martin gets honest about her struggles with negative self-talk and how the identity of being the "glue" teammate actually helps her play better. Plus, Kate talks about the mental and physical comeback from a devastating ACL tear, explaining why that difficult experience taught her how to be a cheerleader first—a skill that has shaped her entire career. IN THIS EPISODE The Post-College Grind: How she manages the WNBA travel schedule by prioritizing mobility work and drip-drop hydration (electrolyte packets) on every flight to combat dehydration and stay ready for immediate workouts. The Power of NIL: Her personal experience navigating the NIL landscape in college, and the hilarious story of how she was completely blindsided by her own draft pick while expecting to be fully focused on supporting Caitlin Clark. The Best Version of an Athlete: Why she is focused on becoming a more well-rounded player by working on attacking the rim and being consistent when shooting under fatigue. Adversity as Fuel: Why she views her major ACL injury in college as the "best thing that ever happened to me" because it taught her empathy and the importance of showing up as a great teammate. Personal Identity: Why being labeled an "underdog" doesn't bother her, and why she is okay with the balance of being a great athlete and a great person who prioritizes her family. Simple Wellness: Her simple, non-negotiable wellness routine, which includes chicken, rice, and cold tubs for physical and mental reset. QUOTABLE MOMENTS On self-talk:"I would definitely say that [negative self-talk] is still a work in progress for sure. I would sit here and tell every single one of my teammates, 'Don't be so hard on yourself, negative self-talk is terrible, it benefits nothing.'" On what she sees in the mirror:"I want people to see a good person who cares about her teammates and who is a lot more than just a basketball player." On coming back from injury:"If you have a bad day, that's okay, too. Because you're going to have bad days... and you're going to eventually start trending upwards if you continue to do the right things." On coming back after a loss:“You cannot linger in the past, you really just got to keep pushing and looking forward. You have to have that goldfish mentality."

    Are you missing God's voice, or are you overthinking it? Discover the radical middle of Christian decision-making and discerning God's will.Christians often fall into two ditches, either ignoring God's voice entirely or freezing up waiting for a divine memo on every little choice. Join us as we explore how to live in the “radical middle”—that sweet spot of leaning not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6) while trusting God in all things.We'll help you discern when you need a clear word from the Holy Spirit, and when it's time to step out in faith with the wisdom God's given.

To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org Highlights From This Episode "These biomarkers are used to provide information about cancer's characteristics or behavior. In oncology precision medicine specifically, molecular tests can help with diagnosing a cancer that is maybe an unknown primary. It can help with monitoring response to therapy, detect recurrence of disease before other tests can find that, predict prognosis or how aggressive the cancer may be, and guide treatment decisions for targeted therapies." TS 3:14 "Some of the key biomarkers recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) to be tested in patients who have NSCLC are EGFR, ALK, KRAS, BRAF, MET exon 14 skipping mutation, HER2 which is a protein expression from an ErbB protein, PD-L1 which is a protein expression that's used to guide immunotherapy choices, and then finally there are three fusions: ROS1, RET, and NTRK. [These] are pretty rare but really important to be tested for in patients who have NSCLC." TS 3:46 "Another important challenge for nurses related to this topic is that these results may not reveal a targeted mutation for the patient and that could be very disappointing. So, being able to provide that emotional support to a patient if they have that result … you can actually reinforce with them that if [they] go onto another treatment that the physician decides to put [them] on, the tumor can change. New pathogenic variants can develop based on the treatment that they're getting, and another test can be done. And maybe at that time—a new biomarker that could be targeted—we'd be seeing on the new test." TS 7:32  "Another circumstance we didn't talk about yet is that maybe the result came back saying that the quality was not sufficient. And sometimes that happens, but that doesn't mean that we're at the end of the road, necessarily. So, you could explain to the patient that that may mean that possibly, a new biopsy would be ordered by the physician. Or if a new biopsy or another tissue sample is not available, then maybe the physician would pivot to sending a blood specimen for the molecular testing. So that would definitely be a way [nurses] could support their patients." TS 11:52 "In the case of patients with NSCLC, early testing is so important. So, advocating for that prompt biomarker testing to be done, making sure that it's comprehensive, that it's actually looking for all of those—I think it was 12 biomarkers—that I mentioned earlier. That this testing is done as soon as possible after diagnosis or progression. Something that I talk about all the time—personalized care, precision medicine—really matters. So, tailoring treatments for patients based on the biology of the tumor that's driving the cancer's growth is really crucial if you're going to be working as an oncology nurse. Another crucial thing, because it's changing so quickly, is to stay informed." TS 16:23

    Erfolg im Vertrieb beginnt mit dem richtigen Netzwerk – Inside BdVM für Vertriebsmanager. Mit Heinz-Georg Geissler. Wenn du als Vertriebsmanager wachsen willst, zählt mehr als Produkt und Preis. Du brauchst Menschen, die Wissen teilen und dich schneller machen. Deshalb nehme ich dich heute mit in den Bundesverband der Vertriebsmanager (BdVM): für wen er gedacht ist, welche Formate es gibt und wie du damit sofort Fortschritt erzielst. Der BdVM richtet sich an Vertriebsmanagerinnen und Vertriebsmanager mit Personal- oder Budgetverantwortung. Aber auch Talente mit Ambition sind willkommen. Ziel ist ein Austausch auf Augenhöhe. Dadurch bekommst du praxistaugliche Ideen statt leerer Floskeln. Und genau das spart Zeit und Geld. Zunächst die Formate: Bis zu 100 Treffen pro Jahr – regional, digital und national. Das Flaggschiff ist der Vertriebsmanagement-Kongress in Berlin. Dort triffst du Hunderte Entscheider, hörst konkrete Cases und knüpfst starke Kontakte. Außerdem gibt es lokale Chapter und Hubs, vom fokussierten Meetup bis zum lockeren Stammtisch. So bleibst du nah dran und kommst regelmäßig in den Austausch. Dazu kommen kompakte Online-Sessions, die du leicht in den Alltag schiebst. Besonders hilfreich für Vertriebsmanager sind die Expert-Hubs: KI & Digitalisierung, Marketing & Sales, Führung & Change sowie Wissenschaft. Hier bekommst du Benchmarks, Tools und Checklisten. Außerdem wächst die LinkedIn-Community stark, was dir einen einfachen Einstieg bietet. Und alle zwei Wochen gibt es ein offenes Online-Format für Fragen – schnell, direkt und ohne Hürden. Wichtig ist auch der ROI. Für einen moderaten Jahresbeitrag sicherst du dir Zugang zu Netzwerk, Events und Partnern. Denn viele Probleme sind bereits gelöst. Deshalb findest du dort Best Practices zu CRM-Einführung, Forecast-Qualität, Datenkompetenz, Playbooks und KI-Workflows wie Voice-to-CRM. Statt Theorie bekommst du Roadshows, klare Vorlagen und erprobte Prozesse. Dadurch setzt du schneller um und vermeidest teure Irrwege. Mein Fazit: Willst du als Vertriebsmanager planbar besser werden, dann nutze ein starkes Netzwerk. Der BdVM liefert Zugang, Tempo und Relevanz. Tritt der LinkedIn-Gruppe bei, komm ins offene Online-Format und besuche ein Event. Danach weißt du, ob es passt. Ich sage: ausprobieren – und dann konsequent dranbleiben.

    From Search to Summaries: AI Overview Best Practices for 2025

    "Certain formats consistently trigger AI Overviews: clear explainers and definitions, step-by-step how-tos, detailed comparisons and buying guides, and local discovery content with consistent business details," writes Laughlin Rigby, Digital Transformation & AI Director of Core Optimisation The search experience has fundamentally changed. Users no longer just scroll through ten blue links, they are reading answers. Google's AI Overviews, now reaching 1.5 billion users across 200+ countries, synthesise trusted sources into concise, cited summaries above the fold. Meanwhile, agentic browsers like ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity's Comet, and Edge Copilot sit beside the page, comparing options and completing tasks on behalf of users. This shift demands a new approach: be citable, machine-readable, and action-ready. The classic pillars of SEO remain foundational. What's changed is how we express them, ensuring machines can reliably extract and act upon our information. The behavioural shift When AI-generated answers appear above the fold, click-through behaviour transforms. Traffic concentrates on pages offering canonical facts, original insights, and proprietary data, which is precisely what AI assistants quote. Expect fewer low-intent sessions but higher post-click quality. KPIs must evolve to emphasise assistant-layer visibility through citations and mentions, alongside completion metrics like enquiries and bookings. The content strategy follows: write answer-first, then layer in nuance. Address likely follow-ups on the same page. Becoming citation-worthy Earning citations from AI systems requires deliberate choices. Remain discoverable. Allow reputable AI crawlers like OAI-SearchBot in your robots.txt. Keep high-value pages indexable and track assistant-origin traffic. Structure for dual audiences. Employ semantic HTML and WAI-ARIA. Write one idea per paragraph. Use proper tables for data. Implement schema.org markup for Article, Product, FAQPage, Organisation, and Person, always including datePublished and dateModified timestamps. Clear headings and concise sections improve both human comprehension and machine extraction. Deploy focused FAQs. On high-intent pages, add four to six genuine questions marked up as FAQPage schema. Place direct answers first, then link to details. Demonstrate provenance. Feature named authors with verifiable credentials. Cite reputable sources and maintain claim consistency across channels. Maintain currency. Regularly update priority pages, eliminate duplicates, and establish a single canonical source for each claim, price, or specification. Provide reliable APIs. AI assistants act, not just read. Publish OpenAPI endpoints for dynamic information like prices and availability with stable IDs and clear errors. For complex interactions, develop an official integration. Measure rigorously. Track AI Overview presence, citation share, and SERP features. Monitor assistant referrals using server-side tagging. This is continuous, data-driven optimisation for the assistant era. Campaign strategy in the AI Era Use consented, verifiable sources and label AI-assisted copy where appropriate. Develop a concise brand style guide documenting preferred phrases and model summaries to help your tone survive AI paraphrasing. Establish a visible "source of truth" for prices, policies, and key figures. Position this prominently and mirror it in structured data, ensuring AI assistants quote your facts directly. Agent-friendly design Agentic browsers navigate via the accessibility tree, making inclusive design both ethical and strategic. Bind inputs with proper labels, use descriptive button text, apply ARIA landmark roles, keep states predictable, and design forms for autofill and programmatic submission. Your goal: the agent completes the intended action correctly, first time. Preparing for agentic commerce September 2025 brought two competing standards: OpenAI and Stripe's Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), now powering live...

    By Adam Turteltaub Few people know more about conducting a compliance investigation than Georgina Heasman, Senior Manager, Global Investigations at Booking Holdings and Wendy Evans, Senior Corporate Ethics Investigator, Lockheed Martin.  The two of them are the co-authors of our new book Fundamentals of Investigations:  A Practical Guide  and lead our Fundamentals of Compliance Investigations Workshop. Not wanting to miss out on their expertise, we scheduled two podcasts with them. In this, the first of the two, they share a broad overview of best practices for conducting investigations.  Those include ensuring that even compliance team members not responsible for investigations have at least a fundamental understanding of them. As for the investigation itself, they explain, to go well it begins with the first report.  There has to be a clear line of communication and a culture that encourages employees to come forward. Once you receive that initial contact, it's important to remember that it tells the story only from one side. You need to ask questions to clarify what was seen and heard and start thinking about what other information you will also need to gather.  To keep the information flowing, they recommend telling the reporter and everyone else you interview to reach out to you again if additional information comes to mind. While testimonial evidence is invaluable, don't stop there.  As you gather the who, what, when and where, be sure to look for the documentary evidence that you need, which requires having strong relationships with departments that have it, such as HR and security. And, throughout the process, stay focused to avoid going down rabbit holes or getting inundated with more information than you need. Listen in to learn more, and be sure to check out Fundamentals of Investigations:  A Practical Guide  and the Fundamentals of Compliance Investigations Workshop.

    Is social media killing professionalism in dentistry? Are young dentists really “clowns” online—or is lightheartedness perfectly fine? Is social media a disease? Where's the line between humor, banter, and outright disrespect? In this episode, Jaz is joined by Joseph Lucido from the States to tackle these tough questions head-on. Sparked by a fiery Facebook rant, they dive into whether social media is harming our profession, how dentists should present themselves online, and if there's still room for fun without crossing the line. Whether you love or hate dental content on social media, this conversation will make you rethink how we represent our profession to the world. Shout-out to two US doctors creating excellent, entertaining content on social media Dr Brady Smith Dr. Nicholas J Ciardiello Check out the 3-Step Modern Dental Marketing Plan from Clear to Launch Dental — designed to help you simplify your marketing and grow your practice without the overwhelm. https://youtu.be/W7Uh-ML9dZg Watch IC063 on YouTube Takeaways Social media etiquette is crucial for healthcare professionals. Avoid controversial topics to maintain professionalism. A social media presence is essential for modern dental practices. Patients often check social media to verify a practice's credibility. Content should reflect the personality of the dentist and practice. Highlight satisfied patients to build social proof. Consistency in posting is key to maintaining engagement. Separate personal and professional social media accounts. Batch content creation to save time and effort. Engaging content can lead to more patient inquiries.

    We've all been there—juggling new tech, new expectations, and wondering if our students are really learning what matters. In this chat, we talk about “pedagogical debt” (the gap between what we know works in teaching and what we actually do), how AI is shaking things up, and why the right kind of curiosity can help.
