The service emphasizes personalized care plans, rural access, and partnerships with local providers to ensure continuity and trust. Nick highlights the importance of solving the right problems, building strong teams, and maintaining user-centered design, concluding with three guiding principles: lead with care, collaborate and innovate patiently, and practice kindness.

In this episode of EMRA*Cast's "Bridging Health and Humanity," host Natalie Hernandez interviews Dr. Jailyn Avila about the importance of gender-affirming care in the emergency department. Dr. Avila highlights the significant health disparities and challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ patients, including a reluctance to seek care in the ED due to fear of discrimination and past negative experiences. The conversation covers the critical aspect of treating trans patients with the same respect and care as cis patients, avoiding irrelevant medical questions, and implementing small changes in practice to create a supportive environment. Dr. Avila shares personal experiences as a transgender woman, emphasizes the necessity of advocacy, and provides actionable steps for clinicians to improve the care and trust of LGBTQIA+ patients. The episode also addresses the impact of recent restrictive policies on the health care of trans individuals and calls for education, advocacy, and systemic change to support this vulnerable population.

Ever felt like your message didn't land the way you intended? In this solo episode of The Empowered Team Podcast, host Kari Schneider breaks down one of the most overlooked (yet constant) challenges in leadership and relationships: the interpersonal gap—when what you mean and what's heard don't match. Coined by John Wallen, this concept helps explain everything from workplace tension to misunderstandings at the dinner table. Kari shares: The 7 signs that you're stuck in a communication gap A powerful framework to bridge the gap in real time How emotional filters, body language, and culture shape what people actually hear 3 tools to build advanced communication skills (spoiler: it's not about talking more) Whether you're leading a team, managing a household, or navigating high-stakes conversations, this episode gives you the clarity and insight to communicate with impact—and finally feel understood.

Corregan Brown joins us to explore the art of disagreement in an age of outrage. He breaks down the difference between arguing policy and clarifying principles, showing how many of our public fights aren't about facts but about unspoken values. Brown also explains why recognizing power differentials matters in civic discourse and how “unbundling” political coalitions allows for more authentic and constructive engagement across divides.We dig into the practical side of argument—what it means to enter a tense conversation without triggering defensiveness, how to recover when debates go sideways, and why empathy doesn't mean compromise. Brown brings insight from both his engineering and faith-based backgrounds, offering a model for conversation rooted in curiosity, integrity, and shared purpose. His message is clear: productive disagreement isn't about winning—it's about understanding enough to build something better together.Guest Bio:Corrigan Brown leads in-store technology teams at Chick-fil-A—covering point-of-sale, kitchen operations, and digital fulfillment—and serves as an educator with Be the Bridge, facilitating historically grounded conversations around race, faith, and civic life. He blends a background in engineering, leadership, and reconciliation work to help communities navigate complex social and political divides with empathy and clarity. Brown appeared on Faithful Politics in a personal capacity and not as a representative or employee of Chick-fil-A.Support the show

From pandemic-speed vaccine deployment to AI-powered process control, what separates hype from real manufacturing transformation?The biotech industry faces a fundamental challenge: how do you maintain rigorous quality standards while accelerating development timelines, personalizing therapies, and adopting transformative technologies? The answer isn't found in chasing every innovation trend, it's in understanding which changes create genuine value and when to implement them across the product lifecycle.Irina Ramos brings a perspective earned through high-stakes execution. After leading the global technology transfer of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine, a project that compressed typical timelines while maintaining uncompromising quality standards, she's applying those lessons to the industry's next wave of challenges: phase-appropriate CMC strategy, the practical realities of AI integration, and building teams that bridge generational experience gaps in an era of rapid technological change.This conversation cuts through the noise. Irina discusses when continuous processing actually makes strategic sense (hint: it's not always the right answer), why AI in bioprocessing requires more human expertise rather than less, and the collaborative frameworks that enabled one of the fastest vaccine rollouts in history—lessons directly applicable to your current CMC challenges.Episode highlights:How the biotech community is constantly changing, and the importance of adaptability for future scientists (00:00)Navigating phase-appropriate CMC strategy: What to focus on in early clinical phases and which decisions set the foundation for compliance (02:36)Scenarios for switching from batch to continuous processing, including barriers and benefits for early-stage vs. established products (02:58)Lessons from leading AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine technology transfer: Collaboration, rapid regulatory communication, and mission-driven teams (05:20)Adapting lessons from the pandemic for ongoing drug development—balancing speed and risk while maintaining quality (08:24)Realistic perspectives on integrating AI in bioprocessing: demystifying its applications, emphasizing human-critical oversight, and practical use cases in manufacturing (10:40)Key skills for scientists in a biotech world shaped by AI—why foundational understanding and strong mentorship matter (13:51)Bridging experience gaps: How to foster collaboration and creativity between new and established professionals in regulated environments (15:45)Final takeaway: Start small, remain mission-driven, and remember that one size does not fit all in continuous manufacturing (17:15)Whether you're evaluating process platform decisions for Phase I programs, building cross-functional teams for tech transfer, or determining which digital tools deserve investment beyond the buzzword, this episode provides decision frameworks grounded in real-world execution at global scale.Connect with Irina Ramos:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/irinaramosNext step:Need fast CMC guidance?

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning.   Every year, millions of attraction visitors lose hours in line instead of making memories. Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Tyler Rizzo is the Vice President of Finance at COTALAND. Growing up in Central Florida, he got his start in attractions at Busch Gardens Tampa, then earned a hospitality management degree at UCF's Rosen College before moving from front-of-house operations into analytics at SeaWorld, revenue analytics at Cedar Fair, and leadership roles spanning analytics and food and beverage. He later consulted at Storyland Studios on pre-concept through opening projects. Today, he's helping launch COTALAND in Austin, a dense 30-acre park with about 30 rides built alongside Circuit of the Americas, home to the F1 United States Grand Prix. In this interview, Tyler talks about bridging finance and operations, not chasing expensive pennies, and avoiding the doom spiral. Bridging finance and operations “I've kind of always treated it like an improv group; you never say no.” Tyler explains that finance succeeds when it partners with operators rather than policing them. He emphasizes open lines of communication, involving department heads in decisions, and never blindsiding colleagues with a spreadsheet they've never seen. He also stresses getting into the field, noting how proximity to the park at SeaWorld helped finance teams “walk the walk,” hear guests on rides, and translate spreadsheet cells into real experiences. That frontline credibility matters. Having carried a radio and worked the fryer, he says operators trust guidance from someone who has lived their constraints. Seasonality, hours of operation, and the realities of running rides and restaurants don't always show up in a model. By pairing operational tacit knowledge with analytics, Tyler builds plans that are both tight on paper and resilient in practice. Not chasing expensive pennies “I've had multiple times throughout my career where we chased expensive pennies.” Tyler cautions against over-correcting for small losses without weighing the bigger picture. He uses examples like shrink in retail or food waste in fries: quantification is essential, but so is the cost-benefit analysis of fixes. If moving T-shirts indoors to cut theft chokes visibility and sales, or new security costs exceed the recovered margin, the “savings” are illusory. He extends this thinking to the industry's top- versus bottom-line focus. Cutting hours or labor can protect a quarter, but erode perceived value and long-term revenue. He contrasts firms that invest in people and guest experience with those making knee-jerk reductions, arguing that sustainable performance comes from meeting or exceeding value expectations, not just trimming expense lines. Avoiding the doom spiral “The easy button is to absolutely reduce hours, reduce labor, those start to become expensive pennies though when you're losing your core market.” When attendance dips, slashing staffing may seem prudent, but Tyler warns it can trigger a negative loop: thinner teams degrade service, which depresses visits further. His advice is to evaluate and realign the product's value proposition to what guests expect in that market, then execute consistently over time rather than relying on short-term cuts. He notes this discipline is hardest when micro results are choppy, yet it's precisely when conviction matters. Whether for a single FEC or a multi-park operator, recovery hinges on a clear multi-year plan rooted in core hospitality, supported by data, and adapted through continuous testing of operating models, pricing, and offerings without sacrificing the guest experience.   To learn more about COTALAND, visit cotaland.com.

Cloud managed services are experiencing rapid growth, with the market projected to expand from approximately $50.62 billion in 2025 to $120 billion by 2035, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 8.16%. This growth is driven by organizations across various sectors, including finance and healthcare, seeking to enhance their cloud operations and address cybersecurity risks. However, a widening performance gap among managed service providers (MSPs) is evident, as only the most capable firms are capitalizing on this demand. According to Service Leadership data, while the overall profitability of the MSP sector remains strong, not all providers are experiencing equal growth, raising concerns about competitive positioning.Recent surveys indicate that many businesses investing in artificial intelligence (AI) are not seeing financial returns, with only about 2% of Canadian business leaders reporting positive results from their generative AI investments. A study by KPMG highlights that many companies are still in the experimental phase of AI adoption, failing to integrate the technology effectively into their operations. Additionally, a significant skills gap exists among channel partners, with only 26% currently offering advanced network services with integrated AI capabilities. This disconnect between customer expectations and partner capabilities is contributing to the widening gap in performance.Frontline workers express concerns regarding the lack of transparency in AI integration within their workplaces. A survey conducted by Deputy found that while nearly half of workplaces utilize AI, only 25% of workers report regular interaction with it, and many are unaware of its usage. This communication gap can lead to mistrust and confusion among employees, which may hinder successful AI adoption. Despite these concerns, a majority of workers report satisfaction with AI's role in their tasks, indicating potential for positive outcomes if communication improves.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the current landscape presents both challenges and opportunities. The demand for cloud, AI, and managed services is surging, but success will depend on the ability to operationalize these technologies effectively. Providers must focus on enhancing their capabilities, improving communication with clients, and ensuring that they deliver measurable outcomes. As the market differentiates between high performers and those lagging behind, it is crucial for MSPs to adapt and evolve their services to meet the growing expectations of their clients. Three things to know today00:00 Cloud Demand Surges, CEO Priorities Shift, and MSP Performance Splits Into Clear Winners and Laggards05:40 Studies Show AI Investment Outpacing Capability, Leaving Firms Without ROI and Partners Struggling to Deliver10:00 AI Rollout Outpaces Employer Transparency, Creating Worker Confusion and Risk for IT Providers This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://mailprotector.com/mspradio/

Over the past two decades, the artist Theaster Gates has poured himself into his multifaceted practice that spans pottery, painting, sculpture, urban development, performance, archival research, and arts administration. Along the way, he has risen to become one of the most widely celebrated figures in the world of art, transforming abandoned, dormant buildings in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, on the city's South Side, into dynamic third spaces for social, cultural, and spiritual communion; linking his hometown of Chicago with Japan, where in 2004 he trained with master potters in the coastal city of Tokoname and has maintained a deep connection ever since; and effectively rescuing, recontextualizing, and resuscitating culturally significant archives.On this episode of Time Sensitive, our latest “site-specific” recording, Gates sits down with Spencer inside his personal library in Chicago to talk about his current exhibition, “Unto Thee,” at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art (on view through Feb. 22, 2026); his forward-looking vision for his latest project, The Land School, which he and his Rebuild Foundation have reshaped into an arts incubator; and the vast, alchemic impacts of music on his life and work.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: Theaster Gates[1:21] Dorchester Art and Housing Collaborative[5:07] The Land School (2025)[7:30] St. Laurence Elementary School[7:42] Solange Knowles[9:07] Stony Island Arts Bank[9:07] Rebuild Foundation[9:07] Black Cinema House[9:07] The Listening House[13:06] Jane Addams[13:06] Jane Jacobs[13:06] Jesse Jackson[13:23] Frederick Law Olmsted[13:23]  Huey P.

How do construction leaders make better decisions in a world overflowing with data? Recorded live at Autodesk University 2025, this conversation with Frank Phillips and Ashley Grassano from the University of Florida explores how curiosity, culture, and clear communication help teams turn raw information into meaningful action. Frank and Ashley share how the AEC industry can shift from reactive to proactive by embracing data literacy, asking better questions, and building trust between the field and the office. From forecasting risks to creating visibility across teams, this episode highlights how decision-making improves when people, process, and technology finally align. In this episode you'll learn: Why curiosity (not dashboards) is the real driver of innovation How data transparency builds trust across construction teams Practical steps for improving decision-making in fast-paced environments MEET OUR GUESTS Frank Phillips is Director of Business Affairs Technical Services at University of Florida, where he has over two decades of career experience. Ashely Grassano is Space & GIS Manager at the University of Florida. She manages a team of BIM Coordinators, Space Planners, and GIS Administrators.    TODD TAKES Make Old Buildings Smarter, Not “Smart” A campus-wide push toward digital twins is turning legacy facilities into data-ready assets. The playbook: uplift Revit to a consistent minimum spec, link key MEP assets for location and maintenance, stream live data into Tandem, and anchor everything with GIS. It's practical, phased modernization—form meets function. Data Is an Asset—Treat It Like One Ownership and flow matter. From ACC adoption to Cost rollout, success comes from redefining processes (not lift-and-shift), onboarding project-by-project, and measuring wins by outcomes (like contractors getting paid). The ethos: the owner funds the work, the owner owns the data—and partners help operationalize it. Scan, Map, Connect—and Then Automate LiDAR for utilities and interiors, geospatially aligned campus models, ACC + Tandem integration, and emerging AI/API upgrades (including easier auth) are building a true “smart campus” foundation. Pair top-down sponsorship with bottom-up field buy-in, and you get faster finds at 2 a.m., fewer “unknowns,” and clearer ROI.   MORE RESOURCES Thanks for listening!

"You ever been beaten down by life after 30 years? ... That's the genesis of Slow Joy. It's just emotionally driven lyrics and things that make sense really loud."In this episode, we sit down with Esteban from Slow Joy at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago to discuss the reality of tour life and the release of his deluxe record, A Joy Even Slower. Bridging the gap between the Myspace era and today's alternative waves, Esteban breaks down how growing up in the Dallas music scene influenced his unique sound—a mix of "hot and sludgy" shoegaze and anthem-heavy emo.We explore his deep love for Taking Back Sunday (specifically the Louder Now era) and the cinematic history of the "The Ghost of You" music video. Esteban also opens up about his vocal evolution, moving from trying to emulate Midwest emo tappies to channeling the raw power of Joe Talbot from Idles and Citizen. Whether you are a nostalgic millennial or an emo revivalist, this conversation connects the history of the genre to its exciting future. Key Topics & Timestamps:Introduction: The reality of tour life and the "Venn Diagram" of sleep vs. foodThe Emo Check: Why Taking Back Sunday's "Makedamnsure" is the perfect songFun Fact: How the director of "The Ghost of You" went on to direct Spider-ManDefining the Slow Joy sound: "Life beating you down"Deep dive into the deluxe album A Joy Even Slower and Modest Mouse influencesTouring with The Academy Is... and the kindness of 2000s legendsThe Texas Scene Report: Dallas, Denton, and the "sludgy" shoegaze soundVocal techniques: Channeling Idles and Citizen vs. Midwest Emo math rockWhere to find Slow Joy online Guest/Band Links:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/SlowJoyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/slowjoy.officialOfficial Website: https://www.slowjoymusic.com/ Episode Highlights:"I'm not cool enough to do the shoegaze thing. So I just kind of live in a world where you sing like these bright, cool melodies and then do that melodic rock stuff.""I'm just gonna do my best Joe Talbot impression... that 'tough guy' voice thing that I do. Everybody is like, 'Oh, that's like Citizen.' And I was like, 'No, I'm actually just trying to do Joe [from Idles].'""You can do two things half-a**ed... or I'm gonna do one thing at a time.

In this week's episode, both of our storytellers bite off a bit more than they can chew. Part 1: Fresh out of college and in what seems like her dream job, drug and alcohol coach Rhana Hashemi quickly realizes she has no idea how to connect with the high school students she's supposed to help. Part 2: When Paul Davis and his wife struggle to get pregnant, they decide to foster a pregnant dog—and things escalate quickly.Rhana Hashemi is a Bay Area–based drug educator, national expert in youth overdose prevention, and Ph.D. candidate in Social Psychology at Stanford University. Her research adapts Lifting the Bar for youth who use substances. This intervention, called More Than That, elevates youth voices to show educators that a student is "more than" their substance use. By reducing stigma and strengthening student–teacher relationships, she demonstrates how seeing and empowering students can protect against risky drug use. Rhana is also the founder and Executive Director of Know Drugs, the first youth-focused harm reduction organization in the United States, which advances evidence-based drug education for young people. Bridging social psychology with community partnerships, she works to reduce drug misuse and promote more compassionate, effective responses to youth substance use.Paul Davis writes and directs horror movies. His last short won Screamfest and Ravenheart, two of the biggest horror film festivals in the U.S. and Europe. He is currently raising funds to expand it into a feature. Paul is passionate about storytelling. He has had stories air on NPR and published in Reader's Digest. He is also working on a solo-storytelling show.

We talk about how nobody gets along a lot on this show. Too much, some would say. But it is a real problem. Kraig from Braver Angels knows this. That's why his organization gets people together from both sides to have conversations. And yes, it's very sad that simply getting people to talk and not immediately throw a hissy fit is something that requires an organization to achieve, but that's America right now.On the show:AndyKristyn BurttBrittany ArnesonMike BryantKraig FinwallTopics covered:AI-generated productsVarious docu-series and biopicsBraver AngelsConversations across party linesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Humanity teeters on the brink of a cosmic identity crisis. Dr. Scott Guerin, developmental psychologist and author of the forthcoming Awkward Awakening, declares the veil is thinning—linking personal spiritual reboots to imminent open contact with galactic kin. From ancient portals to daily frequency hacks, he maps the messy, exhilarating path from confusion to revelation. Skeptics grilled, believers challenged, everyday souls equipped: what if “waking up” means greeting star families while stuck in traffic? This episode fuses science, psyche, and the sacred to ask: are we ready for who—and what—comes next? GUEST: Dr. Scott Guerin, PhD in human development, holds dual master's degrees and decades of clinical insight into consciousness evolution. Creator of the Angel in Training series, he charts society's pivot from dogma to direct divine encounter. In Awkward Awakening, he fuses psychology, metaphysics, and extraterrestrial evidence to argue humanity is a multidimensional species on the cusp of cosmic reunion. Bridging skeptics and seekers, Guerin equips the spiritually curious for open contact and the return home.
