The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- - Linda Kerns—Attorney & Pennsylvania Election Integrity Counsel for the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss another big legal victory! You can find Kerns at: www.lindakernslaw.com. 6:30pm- On Thursday, former Congressman Matt Gaetz announced he is withdrawing as Donald Trump's nominee to serve as U.S. Attorney General. According to reports, Gaetz concluded he had no pathway towards confirmation after meeting with Senators earlier in the week and determining that at least four—Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and John Curtis—would not support him. Republicans will hold a 53 to 47 advantage in the Senate, consequently cabinet nominees cannot afford to lose the support of more than four Republicans. Later that day, Trump selected former Attorney General of Florida Pam Bondi to serve as Attorney General of the United States. 6:40pm- Dr. Martin Kulldorff—An Epidemiologist, Biostatistician, and a Founding Fellow at Hillsdale College's Academy for Science and Freedom—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article for The Federalist, “RFK Is Right—Let's Study Vaccine Risk Factors.” Dr. Kulldorff emphasizes his support and belief in vaccines but writes America cannot “abandoned evidence-based medicine.” He continues: “Scientists are tasked with both developing and evaluating drugs and vaccines, and it is important to separate these two important roles. Scientists evaluating drug and vaccine safety should not take money from pharmaceutical companies.” Dr. Kulldorff is a former Professor of Medicine at Harvard University and was a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration.

In this episode, Susan Ellenberg, emerita professor of biostatistics, medical ethics, and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, describes her lifelong love of mathematics, how she accidentally became a biostatistician, and her well-rounded career in clinical trial design and analysis. As a child, Ellenberg was fascinated by a mathematical puzzle. John is twice Mary's age when John was Mary's age. When Mary will be John's age, the sum of their ages will be 63. How old are John and Mary? Ellenberg occasionally chipped away at the question by randomly plugging in numbers, but she soon discovered another way to approach it. “When I got to high school algebra, I learned that there was an actual way to solve this problem. I was so excited I knew how to do it,” Ellenberg said. That enthusiasm, combined with her college entrance exam math scores—which topped her graduating class, despite not being in the math honors program—led her to become a math teacher. But Ellenberg soon put her career on hold so she and her husband could start their young family. However, when Ellenberg was pregnant with her first child, a friend asked if she could help with computer programming for a project under the eminent biostatistician Jerome Cornfield. That job led to Ellenberg earning a PhD in mathematical statistics and having a career in clinical trial design and analysis. She has held positions at the Emmes Clinical Research Organization, NIH, and FDA. She also worked with activists during the AIDS epidemic and has combatted misinformation about vaccine safety. Eventually, though, she took a job in academia and returned to her first passion: teaching. “I said I would teach a class on clinical trials, which I did all the years until I became emeritus,” Ellenberg said. “I really enjoyed doing that, [going] back to my original love of teaching.” Ellenberg spoke with McKenzie Prillaman, reporter at The Cancer Letter. A transcript of this conversation appears on the Cancer History Project.

A person I had always wanted to get to know Dr. Elizabeth Stuart, a professor at Johns Hopkins in their biostatistics department. I knew about her for a long time before I met her because of her expansive work on a variety of issues in the area of “matching” and unconfoundedness. She did her PhD, as it turned out, at Harvard at the end of the 1990s and early 2000s around the time when Guido Imbens was still there in the economics department, and Don Rubin in the statistics department. At Harvard she worked with people like Don Rubin, her dissertation adviser, as well as Gary King, one of her collaborators and someone else I've interviewed on the podcast, and so I wanted to talk to her to try and piece together more of the progression of causal inference throughout the social sciences in the late 20th and early 21st century, not just through writing, but maybe even moreso through students and faculty placements at departments around the world.But these big ideas are in many ways just the “hook”, as I have said, to build a mental map of why I select certain people for the podcast. Dr. Stuart is an important scholar in her own right. She has spent a career being driven by questions about health and selected into statistics as a way of enhancing her own ability to contribute fruitfully to large and important policy questions regarding health. After graduating from Harvard in 2004, she went to Mathematica before then moving to Johns Hopkins school of public health where she steadily moved forward through tenure to associate then full professor. She is now a professor in the department of mental health, the department of biostatistics, and the department of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins. And she is now leading up pioneering new curriculum options for students there as well as moving into a new administrative position within the university.I learned things I didn't know, such as her brief flirtation with going to Princeton's economics program (the economics students, though, seemed miserable so she opted against it). Since I've been also obsessed with trying to better understand Princeton's economics program throughout the 1970s to 1990s, I was surprised to again realize what a small world it was that Dr. Stuart herself skipped over that like a stone over water before landing at the center of the causal inference universe itself — Harvard's statistics department. So this was a fun interview. And I hope you enjoy learning more about Dr. Stuart's life.

Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473 As you are aware by now, Politico released a leaked “The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO. The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision — Planned Parenthood v. Casey — that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” Deliberations on controversial cases have in the past been fluid. Justices can and sometimes do change their votes as draft opinions circulate and major decisions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote-trading, sometimes until just days before a decision is unveiled. The court’s holding will not be final until it is published, likely in the next two months. The immediate impact of the ruling as drafted in February would be to end a half-century guarantee of federal constitutional protection of abortion rights and allow each state to decide whether to restrict or ban abortion. It’s unclear if there have been subsequent changes to the draft.” Was the Constitution silent on abortion and does tradition make room for abortion being legal? More from Politico on this: “The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions,” Alito writes. Much of Alito’s draft is devoted to arguing that widespread criminalization of abortion during the 19th and early 20th century belies the notion that a right to abortion is implied in the Constitution. The conservative justice attached to his draft a 31-page appendix listing laws passed to criminalize abortion during that period. Alito claims “an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment…from the earliest days of the common law until 1973.” “Until the latter part of the 20th century, there was no support in American law for a constitutional right to obtain an abortion. Zero. None. No state constitutional provision had recognized such a right,” Alito adds. Alito who wrote the majority opinion in this draft, according to Politico, had a number of sharp things to say: “At times, Alito’s draft opinion takes an almost mocking tone as it skewers the majority opinion in Roe, written by Justice Harry Blackmun, a Richard Nixon appointee who died in 1999. “Roe expressed the ‘feel[ing]’ that the Fourteenth Amendment was the provision that did the work, but its message seemed to be that the abortion right could be found somewhere in the Constitution and that specifying its exact location was not of paramount importance,” Alito writes. Alito declares that one of the central tenets of Roe, the “viability” distinction between fetuses not capable of living outside the womb and those which can, “makes no sense.” “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion,” the draft concludes. “Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.” Here is my two cents on this: First, leaks happen for a reason, and this leak is egregious intentional. The abortion culture will do anything to keep their blood sacrifice, and that is the whole point of this leak. Secondly, since the leak was intentional, here are the chess pieces they are trying to influence. Option 1: Get one (or two, we dont know) Justices to change their position in the next two months. Option 2: If one of the Justices get suicided before the vote is finalized, then the decision will go in favor of the blood sacrifice crowd. Option 3: Try and get everyone to rally in the November elections, and stave off a Republican wave…sort of the COVID effect. Create chaos, which democrats just love, just look at their cities, and steal the election in November. Third thing to consider here. Chief Justice John Roberts has ordered an investigation into the leak, so this letter is probably pretty accurate with the direction the ruling was/is going, and the word on the street was that it was Amit Jain clerks for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor leaked the draft (https://twitter.com/MattWolking/status/1521303528421171203?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1521303528421171203%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifenews.com%2F2022%2F05%2F03%2Fif-justice-sonia-sotomayor-was-involved-in-supreme-court-leak-she-should-be-impeached%2F). Matt Woking, Republican advisor and strategist, connected some dots on Twitter last night and said that “As a Yale student, Jain blasted Yale for supporting Brett Kavanaugh's nomination. Jain was quoted in a 2017 Politico piece by Josh Gerstein. Today, Gerstein published the draft SCOTUS opinion on Roe.” If this leak came from Sotomayor’s office, she should be impeached after November, and replaced by a Republican House and Senate. Well here is Biden’s Statement on this leak and draft decision: COVID Science has wrecked our industrial medical complex. No one trusts their “science” anymore and so guys like Dr. Jay and others are working hard to be trusted voices in the midst of all this confusion. Dr. Martin Kulldorf, Epidemiologist, Biostatistician, and Former Harvard Professor of Medicine released the “Twelve Forgotten Principles of Public Health”, and they are: #1 Public health is about all health outcomes, not just a single disease like #COVID19. It is important to also consider harms from public health measures. #2 Public health is about the long term rather than the short term. Spring #COVID19 #lockdowns simply delayed and postponed the pandemic to the fall. #3 Public health is about everyone. It should not be used to shift the burden of disease from the affluent to the less affluent, as the #COVID19 #lockdowns have done. #4 Public health is global. Public health scientists need to consider the global impact of their recommendations. #5 Risks and harms cannot be completely eliminated, but they can be reduced. Elimination and zero-COVID strategies backfire, making things worse. #6 Public health should focus on high-risk populations. For #COVID19, many standard public health measures were never used to protect high-risk older people, leading to unnecessary deaths. #7 While contact tracing and isolation is critically important for some infectious diseases, it is futile and counterproductive for common infections such as influenza and #COVID19. #8 A case is only a case if a person is sick. Mass testing asymptomatic individuals is harmful to public health. #9 Public health is about trust. To gain the trust of the public, public health officials and the media must be honest and trust the public.

This pandemic has proved that many non-epidemiologists understand public health better than some epidemiologists. / END New study: Face mask usage correlates with higher death rates https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/326734 According to Israel National News: A new peer-reviewed study entitled: "Correlation Between Mask Compliance and COVID-19 Outcomes in Europe" has demonstrated that use of face masks, even widespread, did not correlate with better outcomes during the COVID epidemic, based on data from 35 European countries with populations of over one million people each, encompassing a total of 602 million people. The study noted that the average proportion of mask usage in the period investigated (October 2020 until March 2021) was 60.9% ± 19.9%. Governments and advisory bodies have recommended and often mandated the wearing of face masks in public spaces and in many areas mandates or recommendations remain in place, despite the fact, the study notes, that randomized controlled trials from prior to and during the epidemic have failed to show a benefit to the wearing of such masks with regard to COVID transmission. "Positive correlation between mask usage and cases was not statistically significant," the study also found, "while the correlation between mask usage and deaths was positive and significant (rho = 0.351, p = 0.039)." That is to say, more mask usage correlated with a higher death rate. The study used a variety of statistical methods to study correlation but "none of these tests provided negative correlations between mask usage and cases/deaths ... Surprisingly, weak positive correlations were observed when mask compliance was plotted against morbidity (cases/million) or mortality (deaths/million) in each country." The study also noted that the public may have gained the impression that masks could be helpful due to the fact that mandates were usually implemented after the first peak of COVID cases had passed. However, it became evident that masks were not in fact helpful later that same year, when widespread mask usage does not appear to have mitigated the severity of the COVID wave of winter 2020. "Moreover," the study concludes, "the moderate positive correlation between mask usage and deaths in Western Europe also suggests that the universal use of masks may have had harmful unintended consequences."

Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473 As you are aware by now, Politico released a leaked “The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO. The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision — Planned Parenthood v. Casey — that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” Deliberations on controversial cases have in the past been fluid. Justices can and sometimes do change their votes as draft opinions circulate and major decisions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote-trading, sometimes until just days before a decision is unveiled. The court’s holding will not be final until it is published, likely in the next two months. The immediate impact of the ruling as drafted in February would be to end a half-century guarantee of federal constitutional protection of abortion rights and allow each state to decide whether to restrict or ban abortion. It’s unclear if there have been subsequent changes to the draft.” Was the Constitution silent on abortion and does tradition make room for abortion being legal? More from Politico on this: “The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions,” Alito writes. Much of Alito’s draft is devoted to arguing that widespread criminalization of abortion during the 19th and early 20th century belies the notion that a right to abortion is implied in the Constitution. The conservative justice attached to his draft a 31-page appendix listing laws passed to criminalize abortion during that period. Alito claims “an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment…from the earliest days of the common law until 1973.” “Until the latter part of the 20th century, there was no support in American law for a constitutional right to obtain an abortion. Zero. None. No state constitutional provision had recognized such a right,” Alito adds. Alito who wrote the majority opinion in this draft, according to Politico, had a number of sharp things to say: “At times, Alito’s draft opinion takes an almost mocking tone as it skewers the majority opinion in Roe, written by Justice Harry Blackmun, a Richard Nixon appointee who died in 1999. “Roe expressed the ‘feel[ing]’ that the Fourteenth Amendment was the provision that did the work, but its message seemed to be that the abortion right could be found somewhere in the Constitution and that specifying its exact location was not of paramount importance,” Alito writes. Alito declares that one of the central tenets of Roe, the “viability” distinction between fetuses not capable of living outside the womb and those which can, “makes no sense.” “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion,” the draft concludes. “Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.” Here is my two cents on this: First, leaks happen for a reason, and this leak is egregious intentional. The abortion culture will do anything to keep their blood sacrifice, and that is the whole point of this leak. Secondly, since the leak was intentional, here are the chess pieces they are trying to influence. Option 1: Get one (or two, we dont know) Justices to change their position in the next two months. Option 2: If one of the Justices get suicided before the vote is finalized, then the decision will go in favor of the blood sacrifice crowd. Option 3: Try and get everyone to rally in the November elections, and stave off a Republican wave…sort of the COVID effect. Create chaos, which democrats just love, just look at their cities, and steal the election in November. Third thing to consider here. Chief Justice John Roberts has ordered an investigation into the leak, so this letter is probably pretty accurate with the direction the ruling was/is going, and the word on the street was that it was Amit Jain clerks for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor leaked the draft (https://twitter.com/MattWolking/status/1521303528421171203?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1521303528421171203%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifenews.com%2F2022%2F05%2F03%2Fif-justice-sonia-sotomayor-was-involved-in-supreme-court-leak-she-should-be-impeached%2F). Matt Woking, Republican advisor and strategist, connected some dots on Twitter last night and said that “As a Yale student, Jain blasted Yale for supporting Brett Kavanaugh's nomination. Jain was quoted in a 2017 Politico piece by Josh Gerstein. Today, Gerstein published the draft SCOTUS opinion on Roe.” If this leak came from Sotomayor’s office, she should be impeached after November, and replaced by a Republican House and Senate. Well here is Biden’s Statement on this leak and draft decision: COVID Science has wrecked our industrial medical complex. No one trusts their “science” anymore and so guys like Dr. Jay and others are working hard to be trusted voices in the midst of all this confusion. Dr. Martin Kulldorf, Epidemiologist, Biostatistician, and Former Harvard Professor of Medicine released the “Twelve Forgotten Principles of Public Health”, and they are: #1 Public health is about all health outcomes, not just a single disease like #COVID19. It is important to also consider harms from public health measures. #2 Public health is about the long term rather than the short term. Spring #COVID19 #lockdowns simply delayed and postponed the pandemic to the fall. #3 Public health is about everyone. It should not be used to shift the burden of disease from the affluent to the less affluent, as the #COVID19 #lockdowns have done. #4 Public health is global. Public health scientists need to consider the global impact of their recommendations. #5 Risks and harms cannot be completely eliminated, but they can be reduced. Elimination and zero-COVID strategies backfire, making things worse. #6 Public health should focus on high-risk populations. For #COVID19, many standard public health measures were never used to protect high-risk older people, leading to unnecessary deaths. #7 While contact tracing and isolation is critically important for some infectious diseases, it is futile and counterproductive for common infections such as influenza and #COVID19. #8 A case is only a case if a person is sick. Mass testing asymptomatic individuals is harmful to public health. #9 Public health is about trust. To gain the trust of the public, public health officials and the media must be honest and trust the public. Shaming and fear should never be used in a pandemic. #10 Public health scientists and officials must be honest with what is not known. For example, epidemic models should be run with the whole range of plausible input parameters. #11 In public health, open civilized debate is profoundly critical. Censoring, silencing and smearing leads to fear of speaking, herd thinking and distrust. #12 It is important for public health scientists and officials to listen to the public, who are living the public health consequences.

Kristina Manansala joins Jerry on Episode 113 to share her personal journey of being the youngest in her Filipino American family, to studying neuroscience, and now helping to bridge the healthcare access gap particularly within the Asian American community. She will be graduating from the USC Keck School of Medicine with her MPH degree in biostatistics and epidemiology soon. #FightOnMeet Kristina, in her own words:Hello! My name is Kristina (Krissy). My parents immigrated from the Philippines to the United States and I was born and raised in the Bay Area. In my free time, I loooove yoga, drawing, baking and going on long hikes with my two pups, Cupcake and Gelato (Cupcake is a Chihuahua and Gelato is a German Shepherd!). I'm quite passionate about health care and research. I studied Neuroscience at UC San Diego, researched metabolic regulatory pathways at Scripps Research Institute and led medical relief projects in Sub-Saharan Africa and Central America. Right now, I am wrapping up my Master's of Public Health in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at USC and am working on COVID-19 research projects at a Biotech company. I am very grateful for my mom's sacrifices, and as such I'm the only person in my family to graduate from college. Within the past few years, I've been on a journey to discovery my identity and value beyond professional or academic accomplishments.

Despite high infection rates in the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadians are still a long way from achieving herd immunity, according to a national report. The report, compiled by the Canadian Blood Services and Canada’s COVID-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF), found that only 1.5 percent of healthy Canadians contain detected antibodies in the second wave of the pandemic. The result is based on the analysis of 33,680 blood samples from blood donor centres across Canada — with the exception of Quebec and the Territories — collected during October and November last year.

Is the lockdown working? Apparently it is working in parts of Ontario according to the rate of transmission numbers. ALSO: Ontario must cut COVID-19 cases to 1,000 daily to lift lockdowns. GUEST: Ryan Imgrund, Biostatistician and Teacher - Ontario opens first net new hospital in Ontario in 30 years. Premier Doug Ford says a new hospital set to open in Vaughan, Ont., will be used to relieve a capacity crunch because of risingCOVID-19 rates. Ford says some patients from overcrowded Greater Toronto Area hospitals will be transferred to Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital when it opens on Feb. 7. The hospital will add 35 new critical care beds and 150 medical beds to the province’s bed capacity.

Ontario says its COVID-19 cases continue to rise and the province’s ability to control the spread of the virus is “precarious.” The findings come in new data that concludes “hard” lockdowns lasting four to six weeks could cut daily case counts to less than 1,000. The new projections show that under all scenarios the province will see 300 intensive care unit beds filled within 10 days — double the 150-bed threshold where surgeries must be cancelled. GUEST: Dr. Michael Warner, Head of ICU at Michael Garron Hospital - Imgrund says Ford got the lockdown all wrong! The big misses in the lockdown announcement: 1. Waiting until December 26th for the lockdown to start. 2. Elementary only online one week. 3. Supermarkets are allowed to operate at 50% capacity; big box has been reduced to 25% which is almost there GUEST: Ryan Imgrund, Biostatistician and Teacher - The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a toll on Life satisfaction. Individuals were asked how they feel about their life as a whole at the moment of responding, using a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 means "very dissatisfied" and 10 means "very satisfied." In 2018, the average life satisfaction of Canadians was 8.09; by June 2020 average life satisfaction was 1.38 points lower, at 6.71. This was the lowest level of life satisfaction observed in Canada over the 2003-to-2020 period for which comparable data are available.

TA'castThere's a lot of information coming and going about the coronavirus, and the next steps for vaccines and treatments for COVID-19 — ThinkAuthority even has a dedicated team to it.But how do we assess all this information in a logical way, to prevent confusion, chaos, or something worse? The ThinkAuthority's Nilay, Mary Beth, and Nicole talked to Dr. Natalie Dean, assistant professor of biostatistics at the University of Florida, about what we know so far about the timeline of a COVID-19 vaccine, and the best way to evaluate the flood of information coming in every day.
The Verge's Nilay Patel, Mary Beth Griggs and Nicole Wetsman talk to Dr. Natalie Dean, assistant professor of biostatistics at the University of Florida. Dr. Dean specializes in infectious disease epidemiology, and explains the process of developing a vaccine — where it comes from, how it's made, and how it's manufactured and made available to the public — in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Dean also talks about the importance of collecting the right info so the vaccine is effective and safe, the timeline of getting a vaccine to the public after it's approved, and preserving the public confidence in such vaccines. You can also subscribe to our new weekly newsletter Antivirus, about the notable news from the vaccine and treatment fronts, and stories that remind us that there's more to the case counts than just numbers.

"There are technologies that we can use now like next generation sequencing where it allows us to take a really teeny tiny piece of DNA or RNA and generate thousands if not millions of measurements. And then we sort of look at each other like, now what do we do?" Jill Barnholtz-Sloan is a biostatistician and professor in Case Western Reserve University’s School of Medicine. She’s using statistics and math to help researchers untangle risk factors and survival factors for different types of brain tumors. "There's lots of different ways that you can study a disease in a population, but we focus a lot on, what are the causes and risk factors for developing brain tumors - and then what are the factors associated with response to treatment and survival?" These seemingly simple questions are very hard to answer, but Barnholtz-Sloan’s statistical analyses enable investigators to draw mathematically valid conclusions from huge data sets. "It's very daunting to look at these huge datasets and

Kit Pier is a military wife, a stay-at-home mother of three, and a Biostatistician. She has an undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University and a Master's Degree in Biostatistics from George Washington University. She worked full-time as a Statistician until welcoming twin sons. She does freelance statistics work from home, but dedicates her time and her talents to her family, which now also includes an adopted daughter. The military keeps them on their toes: so far, in twelve years of marriage, she and her husband have moved to a new location five times. Kit has learned volumes about life and love through motherhood and adoption. Leaving her career as a statistician to be a stay at home mom offered a different kind of fulfillment for Kit Pier, but the choice wasn’t without its challenges. In her words, “it’s an adjustment when you come from a place where work and your earnings define your identity… some days I miss adult interaction and the satisfaction of completing a project. But in some ways, it was the most natural thing, to be home with my children to witness all their first things.” Staying at home also made it easier for Kit to shut herself off from connecting with other women, after a life-changing incident. Opening up for the first time to share her innermost secret, Kit tells about the medical misstep that led to emergency surgery immediately following the birth of her twin boys. Waking up to this news in the ICU was made infinitely worse when hospital staff decided to look into her medical records without permission. This breach of HIPAA privacy laws turned Kit into an item of gossip at the hospital where her husband worked as a doctor - and made her shut down and shut out the world for years. Joining us to share her story, Kit talks about getting past her darkest days with the support of the military community. She shares the advice she’d give to herself during her most challenging chapter; explains how her views on feminism have changed since adopting a daughter - and how she makes sure she’s raising a strong, independent, and capable woman; and why she also makes it a priority to instill women-supporting values in her sons.

Brad is a trained Exercise Physiologist, Molecular Biologist, and Biostatistician, but wasn't in these specialist topics that the insights started to flow in the interview, it was much more about how we live, work, day-to-day performance habits, parallels and allegories from the world of human function and human performance that we ended up exploring. One key area though really emerged and that was the concept of consulting, and how Brad set up his consultancy, and working with others, Brad shares his insights of focusing on quality work, empowering others in what I thought was a flawless, thoughtful, diligent almost calm way work with people for whom he can provide a solution! It was a fascinating discussion, so thank you Dylan. We started off by chatting about why he and his dog were up so early in the morning. In this show we discuss: - Brad's background in biomechanics, molecular physiology and epidemiology. - The parallels between human functioning and performance. - Starting and growing a consultancy/portfolio career. - The mindset and habits required to succeed in personal and professional domains. Show Notes Focus, sleep and high-performance habits. Overview of Brad's journey into high performance and biomechanics, molecular physiology and epidemiology. Brad now heads research and development for a number of consultancy firms that he co-own's. In his early career, Brad purposely sought opportunities that would develop metacognition, skill acquisition and networked with different people in different industries to develop his ability to solve performance problems. Understanding concepts from human functioning. Transferring and applying the fundamental processes of these into performance domains. Brad's observation of highly successful people: they spend a lot more time asking questions than proposing solutions. Navigating some of the difficulties in life as a consultant - selling uncertainty to people. Communicating clarity is key. We are trying to solve this problem once! Empowering performers through education so that they can become problem solvers for the rest of their career in sport or business. Building and managing a portfolio career. Relationships, work ethic and a growth mindset at the core. Operating from a stable base and growing from that. Networking with a curious, inquisitive mind with the goal of meeting people with similar aspirations and values. Self-awareness and empathic qualities have been central to Brad's performance and connecting with others as well has having good people around him. Work ethic, balancing work and family life. Brad discusses building assets, referring to relationships, companies, skill sets, knowledge, anything that gives you more value down the road. Working with the pulse of operating from a place that enables you to do what you want to do rather than what you have to do. This requires a lot of hard work to set up! Brad's top 3 tips for consultants and people considering a portfolio career: create and deliver the highest quality output and hold yourself accountable to it, be highly professional and take initiative and act. What is next for Brad? His goal is to provide the best answers to the biggest problems across variety human health and performance domains.
