Have you ever felt like your dreams are just out of reach, like you're doing all the right things but somehow still scattered, stretched thin, and unsure if it's working? What if the secret isn't doing more, but learning how to do what you already know? In this episode, Dr. Beth sits down with serial entrepreneur, media powerhouse, and dear mentor Deborrah “Deb” Drummond, a woman who has built seven businesses, mentored hundreds of women (and also  “cool dudes”) around the world, and lives by the belief that your body is your "most important real estate." Deb opens up about saying yes when life pushes you forward, the difference between a "journey" and "the stretch," and why most people are unintentionally "popcorning" their efforts instead of building with purpose. She explains that while our dreams and our Mission might be exciting and “sexy “, the tedious steps that it takes to get there are often not sexy, and not as dramatic as one might think. From a surprise pregnancy in her twenties that launched her first business, to building Mission Accepted Media and the celebrated 262 movement for women entrepreneurs, Deb shares the wisdom of a life lived intentionally  and the faith it takes to keep choosing your path. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why "pick your hard" is the most freeing reframe for entrepreneurs and dreamers alike How to recognize when you're "popcorning" your efforts and how to build a real intentional plan instead The difference between what you do and who you do (and why people buy the second one) How small, consistent baby steps create exponential growth over time Why your body, your inputs, and your community matter as much as your strategy How to build a team  and a life rooted in shared values, not just shared skills About Our Guest: Deb Drummond is the founder and visionary behind Mission Accepted Media, the Stand Up, Speak Up, Show Up Yes You women's summits, the Women's Channel, and the bestselling 262 book series spotlighting self-funding women entrepreneurs. A long-time coach, speaker, and media strategist, Deb helps women and the cool dudes in their corner become known not just for what they do, but for who they are.

In "Short Lines, Big Impact: How Short Line Railroads Power America's Supply Chain" Joe Lynch and Joey Evans, Senior Director, Government Affairs & Business Development, TNW Corporation, discuss how Class III short line railroads leverage technology, sustainability, and first-and-last-mile service to keep American commerce moving. About Joey Evans Joey Evans is the Senior Director, Government Affairs & Business Development, TNW Corporation. He is a seasoned rail industry professional with over 20 years of experience, leading TNW's development and execution of government affairs and strategic growth initiatives. His role oversees legislative strategy, public funding efforts, real estate and industrial development projects, and supports acquisition and expansion activities aligned with the company's long-term objectives. Joey serves as President of the Texas Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (TSLRRA) and is a member of the TxDOT Freight Advisory Committee. His career spans various leadership roles across the short line railroad industry. Prior to his current position, he led Customer Success for TNW, encompassing customer service, revenue protection, and infrastructure technology. His journey began as a conductor and engineer, where hands-on experience laid the foundation for his transition into management. About TNW Corporation TNW Corporation owns and operates three short line railroads — TXNW Railway, TXGN Railway, and TXR Railway — along with multiple rail logistics facilities across Texas, serving as a strategic supply chain partner to industries, shippers, fleet managers, and Class I railroads. With more than 40 years of transportation logistics experience, TNW delivers the efficiency, reliability, and customer service that keep North American commerce moving. TXNW Railway, operating in the Texas Panhandle since 1982, is a One-Stop Supercenter and boasts the largest privately owned railcar storage capacity in the United States. TXGN Railway, also a One-Stop Supercenter, has served central Texas since 1992, operating approximately 67 miles of storage and loop track with Union Pacific interchange. TXR Railway, based in Brownwood, serves the Camp Bowie Industrial Area and interchanges with BNSF Railroad. TNW's full suite of services includes rapid interchange, transloading, railcar storage, repair, cleaning, scrapping, warehousing, and rail-served industrial development. Key Takeaways: Short Lines, Big Impact: How Short Line Railroads Power America's Supply Chain In "Short Lines, Big Impact: How Short Line Railroads Power America's Supply Chain" Joe Lynch and Joey Evans, Senior Director, Government Affairs & Business Development, TNW Corporation, discuss how Class III short line railroads leverage technology, sustainability, and first-and-last-mile service to keep American commerce moving. Revenue, Not Track Length, Defines Railroad Classes: Railroad classification is strictly determined by annual revenue, not physical distance. Class I railroads (the "interstates" like BNSF and UP) exceed $1 billion in annual revenue, Class II regional railroads fall between $1 billion and $47 million, and Class III short lines—where TNW Corporation operates—fall below $47 million. Short Lines Serve as the "First and Last Mile" for Rural America: While Class I railroads excel at long-distance freight movement, North America's 615 short line railroads provide essential first- and last-mile service to industrial parks and rural communities. Operating in smaller towns (often under 15,000 people), short lines keep vital agricultural, manufacturing, and petrochemical hubs connected to the national rail network. Lowering the Barrier to Entry with Truck-to-Rail Conversions: Because one railcar holds the equivalent capacity of four trucks (4:1 ratio), TNW launched a dedicated logistics and transloading business. This allows smaller regional shippers within a 50-to-100-mile radius to enjoy the economic benefits of rail by breaking bulk rail loads down into local trucks, without requiring a massive capital investment in dedicated track infrastructure. High-Volume Commodities and Major Public-Private Infrastructure Investments: Short lines primarily handle heavy, bulk commodities like petrochemicals, plastics, lumber, agricultural yields, and construction aggregates (rock). To support these loads, short lines reinvest a massive 33% to 50% of their annual revenue into infrastructure, a timeline accelerated by federal CRISI (Consolidated Rail Infrastructure Safety Improvement) grants to expand track fluidity. Transitioning from Rail's Historic "Black Hole" to High-Tech Visibility: Spurred by rising post-COVID consumer expectations (the "Amazon experience"), TNW developed a proprietary digital portal called My TNW. This tool eliminates the historic visibility "black hole" of rail shipping by providing customers with complete data transparency, allowing them to track cars across both TNW property and intersecting Class I networks. Embracing AI and Autonomous Infrastructure Safety: The rail industry is heavily adopting AI, autonomous railcars, and automated track inspection tools. These automated systems travel the lines to instantly pinpoint structural micro-cracks, gauge misalignments, or railcar defects. Removing the human error factor from these tedious inspections helped the rail sector chart its safest operational year in its 200-year history in 2025. Meeting Corporate ESG Targets Through "Clean and Green" Operations: Rail remains one of the most inherently sustainable modes of land transportation, moving a ton of freight roughly 500 miles on a single gallon of fuel. Beyond fuel efficiency, TNW helps shippers meet strict corporate environmental goals by certifying all properties under Operation Clean Sweep, which enforces strict handling frameworks to prevent plastic pellets and commodities from spilling into local ecosystems.

Gregory Offner is an award-winning keynote speaker and author who focuses on helping organizations improve performance by redesigning the experience of work.  Greg was a keynote speaker at the 2026 Sandler Summit, and he introduced the concept of the Encore Experience—a powerful shift in how we think about engagement, culture, and sustainable high performance.  In this conversation, we break down: The real driver of most employee performance problems —even when numbers look strong How true ownership (versus compliance) impacts long-term performance. Why incentives and pressure stop working over time Who your internal, and external, audience is; and why it matters. When disengagement starts, and the two questions that can stop it in its tracks. What leaders can do, right now, to create an "Encore Experience" for their audience. If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or sales leader looking to build a high-performing team that's energized, engaged, and sustainable, this episode will give you a new framework to lead by. To learn more about Greg's work, or to inquire about bringing him in to speak at one of your events: Website: https://www.gregoryoffner.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/gregoryoffnerjr  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregoryoffnerjr     Chapter 1: Opening and Theme: The "Encore Experience" 00:00:02 – 00:02:22 Dave Matson frames the podcast's focus on the Success Triangle—attitude, behavior, and technique—then Jim Marshall introduces guest Greg Offner and the premise: performance problems are often experience problems. Greg is positioned as a keynote expert on engagement, ownership, and results, and Jim asks him to define the "encore experience." Chapter 2: Defining the Encore Experience 00:02:22 – 00:03:42 Greg explains an encore experience as any interaction that leaves people eager to repeat it, like shouting "one more song" at a concert. He argues workplaces should intentionally create encore experiences daily for customers, colleagues, communities, and oneself. Chapter 3: Engagement Crisis and Opportunity 00:03:42 – 00:05:12 Greg cites long-standing data showing roughly 70% of workers are disengaged, with a subset actively disengaged. He positions encore experiences as both a remedy for struggling cultures and a multiplier for organizations already doing well. Chapter 4: Creation, Agency, and Meaning at Work 00:05:12 – 00:07:41 Using a story about his daughter and sidewalk chalk, Greg illustrates the innate human joy of being the cause. He argues work should be reframed from obligation to opportunity—especially in sales, where relationships and experiences can be intentionally designed for "encore" reactions. Chapter 5: Turning Events into Culture 00:07:41 – 00:10:56 Greg outlines a simple, repeatable playbook: meet the audience where they are, add something uniquely yours (or invite their unique contribution), then reflect and refine. He emphasizes consistent application over one-off events and highlights post-call reviews as a natural reflection mechanism. Chapter 6: Performance Is Interaction: Audience, Not Monologue 00:10:56 – 00:13:58 Greg reframes daily work as performance and every counterpart as an audience member, noting sales should be a dialogue. He introduces the three audience archetypes—keepers, leapers, and sleepers—explaining their motivations in both business and his dueling piano bar experience. Chapter 7: Sleepers as Trapped Value 00:13:58 – 00:15:14 Sleepers arrived with expectations but disengaged when they felt the experience wouldn't deliver. Greg argues they represent the greatest hidden opportunity and that organizations should provoke strong opinions—positive or negative—rather than indifference. Chapter 8: High Performers, Voice, and Retention Risk 00:15:14 – 00:19:31 Greg cautions that voicing improvement ideas is a sign of engagement, not insubordination. Ignoring such input drives talent away. He distinguishes leapers and keepers as likely high performers and warns that overreliance on money fails to address root motivations. Chapter 9: Rock Stars vs. Rock Solids 00:19:31 – 00:21:18 Within keepers, Greg differentiates recognition-seeking rock stars from steady, lifestyle-focused rock solids. Pushing rock solids into rock star trajectories can trigger disengagement; leaders must align motivators to individual preferences. Chapter 10: Recognition That's Relevant and Unique 00:21:18 – 00:26:58 Greg stresses making recognition meaningful and individualized rather than generic swag. He shares examples: lunches with the boss feeling special to staff, and a server's unique tactic to transform a family meal—illustrating how small, personal touches create loyalty. Chapter 11: Where Encore Breaks Down in Sales 00:26:58 – 00:29:18 Under pressure, teams default to transactions over experiences. Greg argues that the path to the second sale begins at the first signature, and short-term quota focus erodes value. Designing the sales journey as an enjoyable experience sustains renewals and referrals. Chapter 12: Small Acts, Big Impact 00:29:18 – 00:36:13 Greg urges leaders to spotlight everyday actions that become meaningful moments, sharing stories of a CEO personally covering an employee's life-saving prescription and a pet food company sending flowers and refunds when a customer's pet dies. Simple, empathetic policies create encore loyalty. Chapter 13: A Simple Framework to Start Tomorrow 00:36:13 – 00:43:38 Greg advises cataloging everyday interactions and prioritizing low-lift, high-ROI moments internally and externally. He introduces the "request slip" concept from piano bars—ideas need skin in the game—and describes an internal "Shark Tank" process that turns suggestions into actionable requests with executive sponsorship. Chapter 14: Stop Using Title as Trophy; Start Removing Obstacles 00:43:38 – 00:46:41 Leaders should stop treating titles as rewards and start using them to clear roadblocks. Greg shares his early missteps as a sales manager and emphasizes enabling employees, welcoming ideas from newcomers, and converting suggestions into co-owned requests. Chapter 15: Results Through Experience, Not Just Accountability 00:46:41 – 00:50:34 Jim summarizes the challenge to traditional performance thinking. Greg clarifies he values results but insists sustainable success depends on how and why results are achieved—shifting from transactions to transformational experiences that drive long-term loyalty. Chapter 16: Calibrating Ownership to Archetypes 00:50:34 – 00:51:54 Greg cautions against forcing ownership on rock solids who don't want it and reframes sleepers as undecided keepers or leapers. Leaders should help sleepers decide—either by enabling a leap or creating conditions to thrive in place. Chapter 17: Resources and Close 00:51:54 – end Greg offers an archetype "playlist" resource summarizing keepers, leapers, and sleepers with practical do's and don'ts, and invites contact via his website and social media. The episode closes with acknowledgments and copyright information.

It is getting hot in California, which has us thinking about the massive carbon footprint of healthcare. The emergency department is famously resource-heavy, but can we save lives and reduce waste? Dr. David Barnes joins us to explain how going green isn’t just about being a “tree hugger”—it's about saving money, cutting waste, and making our hospitals resilient against supply chain chaos. Defining Healthcare Sustainability Balancing Safety and Footprint: Sustainability in healthcare means delivering efficient, affordable care that minimizes resource waste while remaining clinically safe and meaningful. The Power of Resiliency: A sustainable healthcare system is inherently a resilient one. Reducing reliance on single-use items and utilizing local renewable energy sources (like microgrids) protects hospitals from supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical conflicts or weather-driven power grid failures. The Three Scopes of Emissions Scope 1 (Direct): Emissions directly produced by hospital operations, such as idling fleet vehicles and leaking anesthetic gases. Scope 2 (Indirect): Purchased energy used to power and heat the facilities (e.g., local electricity and steam lines). Scope 3 (Supply Chain): The largest bucket, making up 60% to 80% of healthcare emissions. This includes employee commutes, medical waste incineration, manufacturing of disposable devices, and food production. Clinical Traps: Where We Waste the Most Pre-packaged Kits: Studies show 75% to 80% of items inside specialized kits (like central lines) go completely unused and are thrown away. Over-Preparation: Opening multiple single-use items (like various ET tube sizes) or donning full trauma PPE for minor injuries creates an immediate, unnecessary trash stream. Pharmaceutical Waste: Standard packaging size leads to heavy drug wasting (e.g., using 5 mL from a 100 mL propofol bottle). This regulated medical waste is costly and energy-intensive to incinerate. The Glove Epidemic: Glove overuse skyrocketed during COVID-19 and became a habit. Most routine encounters carry no contamination risk, making glove use clinically unnecessary. Shifting the Culture “Take What You Need, Leave What You Don’t”: Avoid opening supplies you may not need or bringing extra gauze or syringes into a room. Due to infection safety protocols, these often end up in the trash. Watch Where You Toss: Keep coffee cups and paper out of the red biohazard bins. Regulated medical waste costs six times more to process and must be incinerated, creating massive greenhouse gas emissions. Embrace Reprocessing & Reusables: Support partnerships with companies that safely clean and reuse devices historically labeled “single-use” (like EKG leads or waffle mattresses). Swap disposable plastic gowns for reusable cloth gowns that survive 90 washes. Model the Behavior: Culture change takes patience and persistence. Instead of finger-wagging or shaming colleagues, visibly adopt sustainable habits to drive grassroots practice changes. Key Takeaways for the ED Clinician Speak up on bad design: Clinicians are on the front lines of waste. Advocate for local sustainability initiatives to grab the attention of hospital executives who handle major purchasing contracts. Normalize virtual alternatives: Protect staff well-being and slash commuting emissions by offering Zoom or Teams options for short, solitary administrative meetings. Keep it in perspective: Healthcare sustainability is about finding the sweet spot where clinical safety, resource utilization, and environmental impact meet.

If you've ever thought about what it looks like to lead with purpose, build real relationships, and create a sense of community through your work, this episode is for you.

Many physicians today carry a quiet but persistent tension—trying to meet the demands of medicine while also showing up for their lives outside of it. And often, it can feel like no matter how much they give, it's never quite enough. In this insightful episode of Life Changing Moments, host Dr. Dael Waxman sits down with Dr. Cindy Van Praag—anesthesiologist, integrative health and wellness coach, and the newest addition to the MD Coaches team. Cindy shares her personal journey from practicing anesthesiology to discovering coaching at exactly the right moment in her life. She explains what drew her to focus specifically on physician moms, the themes that show up again and again in her coaching work, and how small, intentional shifts can lead to profound change. Together, Dael and Cindy explore the difference between surface problems and underlying drivers, the power of neuroplasticity and small steps, and practical tools like breath work and the "dichotomy of control" that any physician can start using today. Key Topics Discussed: Cindy's pathway from anesthesiology to integrative medicine to health and wellness coaching. The serendipitous moment she agreed to "help a colleague with her coaching hours"—and ended up being transformed herself. What drew Cindy to focus specifically on physician moms as her coaching niche. The internal factors (sleep, exhaustion, feeling out of control) and external factors (work systems, relationships, schedules) that bring clients to coaching. The underlying drivers beneath the surface: self-criticism, fear, guilt, and the struggle for control. How inner conflicts show up in daily life: stopping activities you love, not recognizing yourself, constant doing for others. The power of neuroplasticity and the field of grass metaphor for laying down new neural pathways. Why small, achievable steps are the key to sustainable change. How to prioritize what matters most by connecting choices to your values and sense of purpose. Practical small shifts listeners can try today: breath work to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. The dichotomy of control: focusing energy on what you can control (thoughts, words, responses) and releasing what you cannot.

Check-ins are where management actually happens—and in this episode checkins are given the status they deserve - at the center of performance, trust, and retention.  Drawing on research, including insights from Harvard Business Review, our Crina and Kirsten unpack a core truth: employees expect a lot from their managers—and rightly so. In a hybrid world, managers are responsible for clarity, feedback, support, and connection, often without much face-to-face time. And the single best tool to meet that moment is a regular check-in. But not all check-ins work. The good ones are not status updates in disguise. They are focused on the employee—their priorities, their obstacles, and what they need today to move forward. Done right, the employee leads. They come prepared with what's working, what's not, and the one or two things that actually matter next. This is real-time career development, not a box-checking exercise. We also talk about structure: agreeing on expectations, who owns the meeting, what gets discussed, and how often it happens. And yes—frequency matters. Cancelling sends a message, and it's not a good one. Then there's feedback. Clear, direct, and specific—the “rifle, not shotgun” approach. Avoiding honesty doesn't build kindness; it builds confusion. Paired with active listening, though, feedback becomes a trust accelerator. When employees feel heard and supported, they're more engaged, less stressed, and far more likely to stay. The takeaway is simple but not easy: check-ins don't need to be perfect. But they do need to happen—and they need to mean something.

https://www.patreon.com/terriblelizards When people think of dinosaurs, it's usually the giants that come to mind—but most dinosaur groups began with much smaller, often overlooked species.  Among them are the small ornithopods: fragmentary, tricky to classify, and frequently lost in a tangle of confusing names and incomplete fossils. Yet these modest dinosaurs are hugely important. They paved the way for the later success of major groups like iguanodontids and hadrosaurs, shaping the evolutionary story of herbivorous dinosaurs.  In this episode, Paul Barrett from the Natural History Museum joins hosts Dave Hone and Iszi Lawrence to explore these fascinating underdogs—focusing on Enigmacursor, a recently named species that helps shed light on this often-neglected corner of dinosaur history. Settle in for an hour of small dinosaurs, big questions, and the challenges of working with fossils that are incomplete, confusing—and surprisingly revealing.

Send us Fan MailAn effective urgent nonprofit fundraising appeal strategy can drive immediate impact—but only when it's clear, credible, and authentic.In this Global Edition of The Nonprofit Show, Matthew Murray (CEO, Expand Consultancy, UK) shares practical insights on how nonprofits can respond to crises with urgency while maintaining donor trust and long-term credibility. From small, time-sensitive needs to global emergencies, this conversation focuses on what actually motivates donors to act—and what causes them to disengage.One of the biggest takeaways: specificity wins. As Matthew explains, “We need this for this. Can you help?” is far more effective than vague appeals. Donors want to know exactly what their contribution accomplishes—whether it's funding supplies, feeding families, or solving a defined problem in real time.The episode also explores the role of data in crisis fundraising. While emotional storytelling still matters, credibility comes from backing it up with real numbers. “Backing up with numbers gives you real credibility,” Matthew notes, emphasizing the importance of using verified, trustworthy data sources.But urgency comes with risk. Misusing a crisis—or attaching your organization to an issue you're not directly addressing—can damage trust. Authenticity is non-negotiable. As Matthew puts it, “The most attractive quality in a nonprofit spokesperson…is authenticity.”Finally, the conversation closes the loop on impact. Donors don't just want to give—they want to see results. Sharing one clear story or measurable outcome can reinforce trust and deepen engagement.If your organization is navigating urgent appeals, crisis fundraising, or global donor communication, this episode delivers wisdom you can implement immediately! 00:00:00 Global Edition Introduction 00:04:13 What Defines an Urgent Appeal? 00:05:26 Why Crisis Moments Drive Nonprofit Momentum 00:06:32 Real Example: Small Urgency, Big Impact 00:08:45 Why Specificity Converts Donors 00:10:25 Structuring Donation Levels for Maximum Response 00:13:21 Data vs Emotion in Fundraising Appeals 00:17:52 When Urgent Appeals Break Donor Trust 00:20:05 Authenticity as a Fundraising Advantage 00:22:34 Closing the Loop: Showing Impact to Donors 00:24:28 Using Media and Storytelling During Crisis 00:26:01 Simple, Authentic Communication That Works  #TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFundraising #GlobalPhilanthropyFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

“Time can only be spent. Think of it as your most valuable currency.” Welcome back to EM Pulse. We are continuing our deep dive with Dr. Resa Lewiss into the world of Micro Skills. If you missed it, go back and listen to Part 1 where we definite micro skills and discuss how they can help you as an early, mid or late career physician. In the second half our interview, we move beyond the career stages and into the daily habits that protect our time, our energy, and our sanity. Protecting Your Time and Energy The “Failure Friend” and the Board of Directors Building on the concept from Part 1, Dr. Lewiss emphasizes that your Personal Board of Directors isn’t just for networking—it’s for survival. The “No-Judgment” Call: In EM, bad outcomes happen. You need a person you can call to simply be heard without needing a solution. Whether it's a mistake or just a really rough shift, having a “failure friend” is a vital micro skill for psychological health. Networking as an Introvert (and for Women) Networking often feels “creepy” or superficial, but Dr. Lewiss re-frames it as connecting. Arrive Rested: For introverts, the best micro skill for networking is showing up with a full battery. Deliberate Rest: This is the practice of doing non-work activities (nature, exercise, meals with loved ones) specifically to return to work with more focus. Meaningful Feedback: Start, Stop, Continue Tired of vague “Good job!” feedback? Dr. Lewiss shares her own mistakes in giving feedback and offers a better way to receive it: The “One Thing” Rule: When someone praises your work, ask: “What is one thing that stood out?” The Framework: To get honest feedback from subordinates or peers, ask them: “What is one thing I should start doing, one thing I should stop doing, and one thing I should continue doing?” Reclaiming the Calendar: Meetings and JOMO Emergency physicians often suffer from FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), but Dr. Lewiss argues for JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out). Break the “one-hour meeting” mold. Most one-hour meetings can be 30 minutes. Most 30-minute meetings can be 15 minutes. Most 15-minute meetings could be a text or a phone call. Not everything needs a meeting! The Power of the Pause: Before saying “yes” to a new committee or project, pause. Ask, “Can you tell me more?” Ask key questions like, what are the goals? What is the timeline? What are the deliverables?  Is Lifestyle Medicine the new frontier? Dr. Lewiss discusses why many EM physicians are pivoting toward Lifestyle Medicine. By focusing on the “pillars” (sleep, movement, community, and food), physicians can move from treating chronic disease in the ER to preventing it in the community. We want to hear from you! Which of these micro skills resonated with you? Have you been able to apply these to your daily life and medical practice?
