In this episode of PICU Doc on Call, hosts Dr. Monica Gray and Dr. Pradip Kamat explore procedural sedation in the pediatric ICU. They cover sedation levels, pre-screening, risk stratification using ASA classifications, and medication selection tailored to each patient's hemodynamic and respiratory status. Through real-world case discussions involving respiratory failure, septic shock, and acute neurological decline, they highlight the importance of end-tidal CO2 monitoring and early adverse event recognition. Key takeaways include avoiding the term "conscious sedation," preparing rescue plans, and prioritizing patient safety through careful assessment and monitoring.Show Highlights:Definitions and levels of sedation (minimal, moderate, deep sedation, and general anesthesia)Importance of terminology in procedural sedationMonitoring sedation levels using scales like the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS)Pre-screening and risk stratification considerations for pediatric patientsASA physical status classification system for assessing patient riskUnique challenges of procedural sedation in critically ill childrenAdverse events associated with pediatric procedural sedation, particularly respiratory complicationsManagement strategies for specific cases requiring sedation (e.g., respiratory failure, septic shock)Importance of end-tidal CO2 monitoring during sedationKey takeaways for safe sedation practices in the pediatric ICU settingReferences: Nir Atlas; Rahul C.

A bonus 'Cheat Sheet' for you, as Luke Shanley and Kris Boyd look back on Scotland's defeat to Morocco at the 2026 World Cup. It's a result that leaves Scotland, possibly, needing a result against Brazil in their last group match if they're to make it to the last 32 for the first time.

Dave & Cody break down "Heavy Is the Head," the eighth episode of From Season 4...Boyd's tremors and hallucinations are spiraling and he finally confesses the truth to Kristi. Henry sinks deeper into his coma-dream, complete with a doctor telling him to "remove the anchor." Jade realizes the bottle tree grows right on top of the bone chamber and pitches a two-team extraction plan. And in a closing scene for the ages, the Man in Yellow lures Tabitha to the RV, decorates it with Ethan's stolen drawings, and terrifies her not with violence but with affection. Plus a Fromspiracy that might break your brain about the fallen tree in the road, the return of the Joni Mitchell needle drop, and a RIP for Fatima — who is dead, but also standing right there.

When the Hale-Bopp comet swung past Earth in 1997, thirty-nine people put on matching black shirts and brand-new Nikes, swallowed a lethal mix of barbiturates and vodka, and lay down beneath purple shrouds to die — certain their souls were about to board the alien ship they believed was hiding in the comet's tail.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/heavensgateREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/343j2ju2FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Following an anonymous tip, police enter a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, an exclusive suburb of San Diego, California, and discover 39 victims of a mass suicide. The deceased–21 women and 18 men of varying ages–were all found lying peaceably in matching dark clothes and Nike sneakers and had no noticeable signs of blood or trauma. It was later revealed that the men and women were members of the “Heaven's Gate” religious cult, whose leaders preached that suicide would allow them to leave their bodily “containers” and enter an alien spacecraft hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet. *** PLUS, the creepy true-crime story of two men who were caught trying to steal the body of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 28, 2021Weird Darkness runs from the 1997 mass suicide of the Heaven's Gate UFO cult outside San Diego to an 1876 counterfeiting gang's attempt to steal Abraham Lincoln's corpse from his tomb in Springfield, Illinois.It opens with the discovery, on March 26, 1997, of thirty-nine members of Heaven's Gate inside a rented mansion in the San Diego suburb of Rancho Santa Fe — twenty-one women and eighteen men lying beneath purple shrouds in matching black shirts and new black-and-white Nike sneakers, plastic bags over their heads, after swallowing phenobarbital and vodka. They believed the deaths would free their souls to board an alien spacecraft trailing the Hale-Bopp comet, which was making its closest approach to Earth that month. Former music professor Marshall Applewhite had started the group in 1975 with his nurse Bonnie Lu Nettles, the two of them renaming themselves Bo and Peep and later Do and Ti before persuading about twenty people in Oregon to leave their families and wait in eastern Colorado for a ship that never arrived. Applewhite preached that human bodies were disposable containers, that he was the second coming of Jesus, and that God was an alien. Nettles died in 1985, but he held the group together, and by the 1990s it had become the first well-known internet-era cult, paying its bills by building web pages under the business name Higher Source. The members watched Star Trek: The Next Generation, sewed Heaven's Gate Away Team patches onto their uniforms, severed contact with relatives through a practice Applewhite called breaking away, and submitted to a ban on sex that several of the men, Applewhite among them, enforced on themselves through castration.The episode closes with the 1876 plot to steal Abraham Lincoln's body from his tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. A Chicago counterfeiting ring run by James "Big Jim" Kneally had lost its master engraver, Benjamin Boyd, to a ten-year term in Joliet Penitentiary, so the gang resolved to seize the president's corpse and ransom it for Boyd's freedom. On election night, November 7, 1876, gang members Terence Mullen and Jack Hughes filed through the lock and split the marble sarcophagus with an ax, unaware that the grave robber they knew as Jim Morrissey was Secret Service operative Lewis Swegles, and that Captain Patrick Tyrell's agents and Pinkerton detectives hired by Robert Lincoln were hidden elsewhere in the monument. The trap fell apart when the lawmen fired on one another in the dark and the two robbers wandered off and escaped, though both were captured on November 18 and, with grave robbery barely a crime in Illinois at the time, served only a year in Joliet. What the public would not learn for years was that custodian John C. Power and a secret brotherhood calling itself the Lincoln Guard of Honor had already dragged the five-hundred-pound coffin into a damp labyrinth beneath the monument and buried it under loose boards and dirt, leaving visitors to grieve over an empty sarcophagus. The body was shifted from hiding place to hiding place until 1901, when Robert Lincoln ordered his father's casket lowered ten feet, locked inside a steel cage, and sealed under two tons of concrete, following one last viewing in which Leon P. Hopkins, the plumber who had closed the coffin back in 1865, studied a chalk-whitened but recognizable face and soldered the lead shut for good.

After months of public input, Regent Street is getting a major redesign which will include wider sidewalks, fewer driving lanes, added parking and loading lanes, and more trees. To some folks' dismay, though, it will not include dedicated bike lanes. City Cast Madison host Bianca Martin talks about the plan with executive producer Hayley Sperling and Liz Boyd. In addition to being Madison Public Library digital services and marketing manager, Boyd is a local photographer and outdoor enthusiast, and she brings us the latest tourism numbers and her ideal itinerary for a Madison tourist. Plus, how is Madison recognizing Juneteenth this week?

[Part Two of Two] In Part Two of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ share some big news that SLED teams searched the home, business and possibly farm of one of Scott's shooters, Weldon Boyd.  Also in the civil wrongful death case against Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams, Weldon filed a motion on Tuesday asking that Judge Eugene “Bubba” Griffith — who denied Stand Your Ground immunity to Weldon and Williams — recuse himself from the Spivey case altogether, claiming that Judge Griffith tried to get Bradley to lie in exchange for immunity.  Weldon's attorney accuses Judge Griffith of violating the most technical rules on allowing the media to film court proceedings. We also share insights on the appointment of Judge Debbie McCaslin who will oversee all decisions in Alex Murdaugh's murder retrial. Plus a quick look at the Netflix Murdaugh 'Instadoc' and the unsealing of court records dealing with the dismissal of Murdaugh juror 785… Let's Dive In…

The truth is finally out, and it goes about as well as you'd expect. Dave and Cody break down "Best Laid Plans," the seventh episode of From Season 4. Boyd and Tabitha tell the town about the reincarnations. Henry, full of Sophia's blood, rejects all of it. Boyd's plan to test the totem spear on the creatures goes catastrophically sideways. And Elgin — sweet, one-eyed, busted-handed Elgin — grabs a totem spear and saves Colony House. Plus a Fromspiracy connecting Abby's "it's all a dream" line back to season one, the second Roger RIP in three episodes, and Dave finally, fully, formally admitting that Cody was right about Elgin all along.

Jim Highsmith has been thinking about decision-making for a long time. When he wrote Agile Project Management in 2004, he went looking for practical guidance on decision-making in the project management literature and found very little. That gap matters even more now.In this episode, Jim and I talk about why AI raises the stakes for executive judgment. AI can remove friction, speed up work, and take on repeatable tasks, but it can also make it easier for leaders to stop practicing the very capabilities they are paid to use. Jim brings this to life through John Boyd's OODA loop, the risk of judgment atrophy, mountaineering decisions, Rob Hall's Everest threshold, Phil Knight's pattern recognition at Nike, and a personal story from Jim's own time leading a collaborative project team at Nike.This conversation is really about how leaders build judgment deliberately: by making consequence-bearing decisions, setting thresholds before pressure arrives, creating space for slow thinking, and reflecting honestly on how decisions were made.Key TakeawaysAI can weaken judgment when leaders stop practicing it: Jim compares the risk to driving an autonomous car: the more the system takes over, the less sharp the driver becomes. AI can remove low-value effort, but leaders still need to practice making consequence-bearing decisions.The OODA loop is mostly about orientation: Jim explains that John Boyd's edge was not just speed, but his ability to update his mental model quickly. For leaders, the real work is noticing when old assumptions no longer fit the situation.Capability is knowledge plus experience plus judgment: AI can make knowledge easier to access, but it cannot replace the experience of carrying consequences. Judgment develops when people make real decisions, reflect on the outcome, and adjust how they think.Thresholds only work when enforced under pressure: Jim uses Rob Hall's Everest story to show why decision thresholds matter before emotion, ambition, or sunk cost take over. In business, those thresholds might be cost, risk, customer impact, or reversibility.Leaders need to separate fast decisions from slow judgment: Some repeatable, data-heavy decisions can be automated with guardrails. Higher-context decisions still need human orientation, pattern matching, and time to think.Reflection turns experience into better pattern matching: Barry shares his practice of documenting decisions, what was known at the time, and why the call was made. That kind of review helps leaders improve the decision process, not just judge the outcome.Additional InsightsRole modeling beats mandates: Jim describes how Boyd taught by showing the mechanics of his performance. Barry connects this to AI adoption: leaders create more movement by sharing how they are using the tools in real work.Productivity fatigue is a real AI-era risk: Barry reflects on how AI can increase output while shrinking the space to think. That matters because senior leadership work often depends on judgment, not just throughput.AI transformation is still a people problem: Jim returns to Jerry Weinberg's reminder that “no matter what they tell you, it's a people problem.” Tools help, but organizations still need to redesign the work, behaviors, and decisions around them.Pattern matching is different from gut feel: Jim uses Phil Knight's Nike decisions to show how instinct can come from years of context. What looks intuitive on the surface is often pattern recognition built through experience.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode Recap – Jim Highsmith frames the core tension of the episode: AI can accelerate work, but it can also expose whether leaders have a real decision-making system or are quietly handing judgment to the machine.01:45 – Guest Introduction – Barry introduces Jim Highsmith, a pioneer of adaptive leadership and original Agile Manifesto signatory whose work has shaped how organizations navigate uncertainty and make high-stakes decisions. (Jim Highsmith)04:27 – Decision-Making Was Missing from the Playbook – Jim explains that when he wrote his first Agile Project Management book in 2004, he found surprisingly little practical guidance on decision-making in standard project management sources.05:47 – The Real Power of the OODA Loop – Jim revisits John Boyd's observe, orient, decide, act model and argues that orientation, the ability to update mental models under pressure, is the part leaders often underdevelop.07:19 – From Process-Centric to Judgment-Centric Management – Jim makes the case that if AI takes over more process improvement work, organizations need decision-making capacity distributed through the system, not concentrated at the top.09:14 – The Judgment Muscle Can Atrophy – Barry and Jim use the autonomous car example to show how useful automation can quietly weaken a capability when people stop practicing it.12:33 – Role Modeling Beats Mandates – Jim explains how Boyd taught fighter pilots by showing the mechanics of superior performance, which Barry connects to leaders demonstrating their own AI experiments instead of simply telling others what to do.15:50 – Capability Is More Than Knowledge – Jim defines capability as knowledge plus experience plus judgment, pointing out that LLMs can provide knowledge but not the consequence-bearing experience that shapes better calls.18:56 – Thresholds Keep Decisions Honest – Jim shares the Rob Hall Everest story to show why thresholds only matter if leaders are willing to honor them when pressure, ambition, or sunk cost pushes the other way.20:58 – Automate the Right Decisions – Jim distinguishes fast, data-dependent System One decisions from slower System Two judgments, giving leaders a practical way to decide what to automate and what to protect.24:31 – From Search Engine to Human-Agent Teams – Jim describes his own progression from using AI as a search engine to working daily with multiple humans and agents, showing that the practice evolves through use.27:06 – Productivity Fatigue and Constant Execution – Barry reflects on how AI can create more throughput while leaving less space for slow thinking, especially for leaders whose real value is making judgment calls.31:05 – Relearning the People Problem – Jim returns to Jerry Weinberg's reminder that “no matter what they tell you, it's a people problem,” and Barry connects that to companies buying AI tools without redesigning how people work.33:21 – Pattern Matching Is Not Gut Feel – Jim uses Phil Knight's early Nike decisions to explain why seasoned executives often seem intuitive because they have built patterns from industry knowledge, relationships, and lived context.36:09 – Decision Journaling Builds Better Judgment – Barry describes documenting decisions, the information available, and the rationale at the time as a way to learn from both strong and weak outcomes.37:22 – A Nike Lesson in Collaborative Judgment – Jim recalls a project decision at Nike where the team agreed with the outcome but challenged the process, giving him a lasting lesson about when people need to be part of the call.38:51 – Closing Reflections – Barry thanks Jim and points listeners toward his writing as these long-standing ideas about judgment, adaptability, and decision-making become even more relevant in the AI era.Useful ResourcesJim Highsmith's website – Jim's home base for his bio, books, articles, podcasts, and current work.

Break out the tin foil hats, movie theater popcorn, and lots of pins — this one's a doozy. In Part Two, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ break down one of the strangest lawsuits they've ever seen: Weldon Boyd, the man who shot and killed Scott Spivey, is suing attorney Mark Tinsley.  The claim? That Tinsley manufactured a "false narrative" and chased media attention for his own "celebrity status" and "self-aggrandizement" (a phrase used nine times, for the record).  With a June 10 motions hearing looming, we unpack Tinsley's motion to dismiss, a bizarre Netflix subpoena for a documentary that doesn't exist, and a fishing-expedition motion to compel naming nineteen people — including the governor and… Mandy, Liz & Beth. Sound familiar? We connect the dots between this case and the coordinated legal war launched against LUNASHARK® in November 2025. Because if we've learned anything in five years, it's that there are no coincidences.  Let's Dive In…

The Memorial Day break is over and the band is getting back together. Dave and Cody dig into "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" — the sixth episode of From Season 4. Jade and Boyd argue their way through the entire first act. Donna has a heart attack at the most suspicious possible moment. Sophia cuts open her own hand and slips her blood into Henry's drink. Ethan and Victor draw their monsters side by side. The team finally starts sharing information with each other (only took three and a half seasons). And in the closing minutes, Boyd grabs a sledgehammer and confirms that Jade's mushroom vision was real. Plus a Fromspiracy on why everyone in Fromville keeps drinking the tap water without question.

In this clip, the multitalented Momo Boyd sits down to discuss the soaring success of her solo career and her hit single, "Oops". While she’s currently in Paris doing press ahead of an upcoming album launch, she takes time to reflect on her unique musical upbringing as one of nine children raised in a deeply musical household. Momo opens up about the dynamic of stepping out for a solo project while remaining a dedicated member of her family’s four-piece band, Infinity Song. She also shares her genuine excitement over collaborating with Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar on a track that hit number one on the countdown, proving that her unique alternative and R&B style is captivating a whole new audience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the second part of their interview, DJ Pup Dawg and Momo Boyd dive into the reality of the music business, social habits, and the irony of communication in the digital age. Momo hilariously admits to being the type of person who takes it personally when people don’t reply to texts, despite being terrible at replying herself, leading to a funny breakdown of modern "self-centeredness". She shares details about her upcoming first-ever solo tour with stops in Atlanta, Detroit, New York, and LA, alongside international dates, while keeping up a heavy touring schedule with her family band, Infinity Song. To wrap things up, Momo leaves listeners with a powerful piece of advice: resist the urge to be a bystander in your own life, take control, and remember that you are the protagonist of your own story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on The Antler Queens, we're breaking down one of the strongest episodes of FROM Season 4 so far: Donna's heart attack, Boyd refusing to let her go, Jade being right about the hidden door, the Roger doll horror show, Victor remembering the Man in Yellow's car, Sophia targeting Henry, and the giant flashing warning sign that Henry may be getting set up as the next Abby. We also get into the big mythology questions: are the fears becoming part of the forest? Is Donna connected to the town in a bigger way than we realized? Was Boyd right to resist Jade's plan, or did Jade prove he's finally the person everyone needs to listen to? And most importantly: are these people ever actually leaving Fromville, or is the ending going to be a choice to stay? 0:00 Welcome to The Antler Queens 3:45 Episode Recap Begins 5:50 Boyd vs Jade: Sacrifice, Fear & Leadership 7:24 Julie Apologizes to Sarah 7:38 Victor, Kenny & The Brown Car 8:02 Donna Brings Back the Settlement Horror 9:55 Sophia Targets Henry 12:26 Ethan Says Goodbye to Donna 14:11 Julie and Sarah Paint the Room 15:00 Boyd Refuses to Say Goodbye 17:00 Sophia Pushes Henry Toward the Dream Theory 19:15 Pancakes / MVP Picks 20:45 Top Five Begins 22:03 Jade and Acosta 24:11 Jade, the Rubik's Cube & Ragdoll Roger 26:10 Julie/Sarah and Victor/Ethan Bonding 32:01 Sass Boyd Has Arrived 39:39 Boyd vs Jade: Was Jade Right? 47:38 Fromily Debate Club: Boyd vs Jade 53:25 Bottom Five 56:04 Jade Crosses a Line with Boyd 58:00 Is Randall Being Set Up to Die? 63:16 Donna Needs Her Own Story 68:02 Could Henry Kill Victor? 71:56 Final Thoughts, Interviews & Sign-Off In this episode: Donna “dies” and Boyd yells her back to life Jade's vision leads to the hidden door Boyd goes full Rick Grimes on the wall Sophia puts blood in Henry's drink Victor remembers the Man in Yellow Roger becomes nightmare fuel with buttons Julie and Sarah have a surprisingly beautiful moment Fatima may officially be part of the town now And we debate whether Henry is being set up to kill Victor If you're obsessed with FROM theories, mythology clues, character breakdowns, hidden symbols, and the question of whether anyone is ever getting out of this nightmare town, you're in the right place.

April 24, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 2 - 1:30 PM Session In this episode Lori at the Eclipse workshop offers a fast-paced, deeply pastoral study connecting the book of Genesis with the Psalms and what those connections mean for Christian women today. Opening with a memorable historical anecdote—Buzz Aldrin quoting Psalm 8 after the moon landing—the talk centers on an exegesis of Psalm 8 (a Psalm of David), highlighting its chiastic structure, its language for God (Yahweh and Adonai), and the surprising theological details woven into the short poem: praise from babes, God's glory "above the heavens," humanity made a little lower than the angels, and dominion over creation. The presenter then broadens the view to show how many Psalms echo Genesis themes rather than retell Genesis narratives: creation, the fall, God's covenant promises, providence, and God's desire for relationship with humanity. She outlines Genesis (chapters 1–11 as primeval history; chapters 12–50 as the patriarchal promise that culminates in the line of Abraham) and emphasizes five recurring motifs in Genesis—God's power, plan, promise, presence, and provision—and how the Psalms reflect and respond to those motifs in praise, lament, and prophecy. Key scriptural touchpoints and cross-references discussed include Psalm 8; Matthew 21:16 where Jesus cites the Psalm; Genesis 1–3 and Genesis 12 (the Abrahamic promise); Hebrews and 1 Corinthians 1:27; and Psalm 51 and other Psalms that show Israel's covenant memory, worship practices, and longing for the Messiah. The talk also notes editorial and literary features of the Psalter (its fivefold division, psalms of praise versus lament, and how individual psalms function as worship, prayer, and theological reflection). The episode ends with practical application for listeners: why Genesis matters for personal faith, how the Psalms teach us to pray in joy and distress, and concrete responses—seek God in Scripture, worship corporately and in nature, trust him through lament, and obey as a response of love. The message closes with a pastoral prayer asking God's blessing on the attendees and their families and pointing forward to the ultimate hope of redemption in Christ.   Duration 41:38

In this episode, Niall speaks with Boyd Varty, a wildlife tracker, storyteller, and author of the bestselling books “Cathedral of the Wild”, and “The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life”. Boyd grew up at Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa, where he learned the ancient art of tracking from master Shangaan trackers. In this conversation, they explore: — How a near-death experience at eighteen revealed a state of consciousness beyond fear — Why tracking animals can teach us how to track our own lives and find what we're truly looking for — The link between disconnection from nature and the search for meaning — Why transformation begins with saying, “I don't know, but I want to” — How to follow a sense of aliveness in the body as a guide for decisions And more. You can learn more about Boyd's work, retreats, and books at https://boydvarty.com/ and boydvarty.com/course-listing/track-your-life-masterclass. --- The wildlife and literacy activist Boyd Varty, author of the memoir Cathedral of the Wild, had an unconventional upbringing. Born to a family of conservationists, Boyd grew up on Londolozi Game Reserve in the South African wilderness, a place where man and nature strive for balance, where perils exist alongside wonders. Founded more than 90 years ago as a hunting ground, Londolozi was transformed into a nature reserve beginning in 1973 by Varty's father and uncle, visionaries of the restoration movement. But it wasn't just a sanctuary for the animals; it was also a place for ravaged land to flourish again and for the human spirit to be restored. When Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years of imprisonment, he came to the reserve to recover. Since childhood, Boyd shared his home with lions, leopards, snakes, and elephants and has spent his life in apprenticeship to the wisdom of nature. Boyd survived a harrowing black mamba encounter, a debilitating bout with malaria, even a vicious crocodile attack, but his biggest challenge was a personal crisis of purpose. As a university student, he studied psychology and ecology, supplementing his education by learning martial arts in Thailand, hiking through the jungles of the Amazon, and apprenticing to a renowned tracker from the Shangaan tribe deepening his intimate knowledge of the natural world. Boyd grew up speaking the local language and learning the true meaning of coexistence between people and with nature. Boyd continues to, like a tracker, follow unconventional pathways. He has worked intensively over the past 7 years in ceremonial spaces as an apprentice to a Peruvian shaman while generating his own system of coaching called “track your life” with draws lessons from the ancient art form of tracking to help people find more meaning, purpose and motivation. At the core of his work is the impulse of life towards healing, wholeness and wildness. He works in both the USA and South Africa to connect people to nature and to their own true inner nature. Boyd Varty is a major voice of the new consciousness. He engages audiences across the world on the subject of forging connections in ourselves, in our communities and with the earth. He speaks to those who long for a way of interaction both simpler and more profound than the way most of us live in the world today. Boyd has a psychology degree from the University of South Africa. He is a certified Master Life Coach, the author of two books and a TED speaker. Boyd has spent the last ten years refining the art of using wilderness as a place for deep introspection and personal transformation. Having taught his philosophy of “Tracking your Life” to companies and individuals all over the world he has been featured in the New York Times and NBC. --- Interview Links: — Boyd's website: http://boydvarty.com — Track Your Life Masterclass: https://boydvarty.com/course-listing/track-your-life-masterclass

In this episode, hosts Steven Stout, FASAE, CAE sits down with Erika Boyd, president & CEO of the Texas Travel Alliance, for a conversation about leadership, mentorship, and the unexpected paths that often lead people into the association world. Boyd reflects on her “fall-in” journey into associations after responding to a newspaper ad, and how her career evolved from communications and advocacy into executive leadership, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating her transition into the CEO role. Along the way, she shares lessons learned from mentors and contrasting leadership styles, emphasizing the importance of empowering teams, trusting employees, and supporting professional growth opportunities. The conversation also explores the broader impact of travel and tourism as both a storytelling industry and a major economic driver that touches countless connected sectors. Boyd discusses how tourism often serves as an early indicator of consumer sentiment and why authentic, in-person experiences continue to matter in both travel and associations. Steven and Erika also highlight the upcoming LeadHERship Live event, taking place June 9–10 in The Woodlands, a joint initiative designed to inspire, connect, and support women leaders across the travel and association communities.

Send us Fan MailPool Inspections, Liability, Codes & the Dangerous Assumptions That Cost Thousands. Part 2 of this 2 part episode.With Host Natalie Hood of The Grit Game and Special Guest Dennis Boyd of Watershape UniversityIn the conclusion of this powerful two-part episode of Myth Busting Wednesdays, Natalie Hood sits down with Dennis Boyd for a brutally honest conversation about the realities of swimming pool inspections, code compliance, safety standards, liability, and the myths that continue to plague the pool industry. This episode digs deep into one of the biggest misconceptions in the swimming pool industry: just because a pool is open, built, or passed inspection once does not mean it is safe, compliant, or properly constructed today. Dennis explains how pool inspectors must constantly continue learning, especially in areas like electrical safety, bonding, lighting systems, hydraulics, structural integrity, and evolving code requirements. Natalie and Dennis break down the dangerous assumption that “if the contractor built it, it must be compliant,” sharing real-world examples of improperly built pools, exposed rebar hidden beneath unfinished shotcrete, disconnected bonding systems, improperly grounded electrical components, and construction shortcuts that could have led to catastrophic failures or lawsuits. The conversation also explores the confusion surrounding municipal inspections and building codes. Dennis explains how different jurisdictions may adopt completely different combinations of the International Building Code (IBC), International Swimming Pool & Spa Code (ISPSC), and local amendments, creating inconsistencies throughout the country. The result? Pools can sometimes receive occupancy approval while still containing serious safety hazards. Natalie and Dennis also tackle: Why home inspectors often lack meaningful aquatic training  The critical difference between general liability insurance and Errors & Omissions (E&O) coverage for pool inspectors  Why written inspection reports become legal disclosure documents during real estate transactions  The growing need for specialized aquatic inspection professionals  Why pool builders, service technicians, and inspectors often operate with completely different knowledge bases  The shocking pool code requirements most professionals have never heard of — including residential safety rope requirements under ISPSC Chapter 8. Dennis also shares how Watershape University training has helped professionals better understand slides, diving envelopes, gate safety, coefficient of friction standards, and the hidden hazards that most homeowners — and many contractors — completely overlook. Natalie closes the episode with a powerful reminder:Pools don't fail because of bad luck. They fail because of bad assumptions.This is an episode every pool builder, service professional, inspector, real estate agent, and pool owner needs to hear.Topics Covered Pool inspection myths  Electrical and bonding safety  Pool code compliance  Residential pool inspections  Watershape University training  Pool builder liability  E&O insurance for inspectors  ISPSC and IBC code discussions  Real estate disclosure and pool inspections  Pool construction defects  Safety standards for residential pools  Why continuing education matters in aquatics Listen & Follow

Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Betty Boyd became known as the “Queen of Tulsa TV” after a career in broadcasting that lasted over twenty-five years. This self-described “wall flower” blossomed as a mother, a volunteer spokesperson for the March of Dimes, a respected broadcaster, a member of the board of education and an Oklahoma state legislator.When both her husband, Bill Boyd Jr., and her daughter, Beverly, contracted polio in the late 1940s, Betty became a volunteer spokesperson for the March of Dimes. Based on her charm and speaking abilities she was asked by KOTV in Tulsa to audition for the station and was hired in 1955. She became the host of Women's Page and Boyd's Eye View, focusing on social issues of the times. Ten years later she joined KTUL to launch another popular television program, The Betty Boyd Show.Betty left KTUL in 1980 to become director of information for Tulsa Tech and later became a member of their board, serving as chairman at the time of her death. She was asked to seek office in the Oklahoma State Legislature, and served the public for ten years. Among her many legislative achievements was co-writing the bill that created Oklahoma State University-Tulsa. A breast cancer survivor, she also focused on health issues.Betty Boyd was recognized for her service and dedication with numerous honors, including lifetime achievement awards from both Women in Communications and American Women in Radio and Television. She was inducted into the Oklahoma Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Betty Boyd was 86 years old when she died on January 6, 2011.

Joined on this episode by the one and only Kiel Samsing; firefighter, paramedic, neuroscience coach, instructor, and author of the game-changing book Mind of Fire: The Science and Art of Decision Making.Kiel founded Mind of Fire back in 2018 after seeing a massive gap in the fire service: we crush tactics and hands-on skills, but we've been starving the cognitive side - the mental sets and reps that separate good decisions from the ones that get people hurt. In this episode we're diving straight into the science and art of fireground decision-making, how the brain actually works under extreme stress, and the practical tools every firefighter and officer needs to build better mental models, cut through chaos, and make the right call when it matters most.We'll talk about the OODA loop fire-service style, empowered leadership, why cognitive training is just as critical as nozzle technique, and the real-world stories and lessons that went into Mind of Fire. Kiel's also got the companion workbook dropping soon and it is loaded with mental drills and exercises you can actually use on shift. Expect straight talk on building decision-making muscle, staying sharp through the years, and why the “mind of fire” might be the most important tool on the truck.Of course the audience is going to light this one up with questions, and we'll go wherever the conversation takes us...  because that's what makes the Scrap the absolute best!!!! And if you haven't read Mind of Fire yet, fix that.
