A new documentary called Descent – Into the Blue starts airing on public television stations nationwide on September 1, 2026. It's narrated by Peter Coyote, directed by Rory Fielding, and one of its central voices is Mike Goldberg, co-founder of the Florida Keys coral restoration nonprofit I.CARE and owner of Key Dives in Islamorada. Andrew sits down with Mike for the full, unedited version of the conversation this week's four solo episodes have been building toward: 30-plus years running a dive shop, more than 10,000 dives, and a front-row seat to watching the reefs he built his life around collapse under a 2008 bleaching event and, roughly a decade later, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease. His wife once told him to get out of the business before there was nothing left to sell. Instead, a PhD student who wandered in to fill a couple of scuba tanks became his co-founder, and I.CARE was born. This episode covers ground the earlier ones in the week didn't get to. Mike explains how a chance lunch with Rory Fielding turned into the documentary, and what he hopes it does for people who've never thought about coral reefs, people, in his words, who "live in St. Louis" and have no reason to. He shares his own anecdotal read (his word, not a scientific claim) that this year's water temperatures would have triggered a mass bleaching event by 1995 standards but haven't, which he takes as a sign that the corals I.CARE has propagated over five and a half years are more heat-resistant than their parents. And he walks through, in his own words, exactly how I.CARE pays for all of it: a $2 add-on on every $100 dive across three Keys dive shops, his own personal 2 percent of dive revenue, and a fiduciary responsibility he says applies just as much to a $2 donor as a major one. The conversation closes on money and trust, the two things every restoration group eventually has to answer for. Florida's state-level coral restoration funding is genuinely uncertain heading into next year, which makes I.CARE's mostly visitor-funded model and its habit of monitoring 100 percent of what it plants (a 47 percent one-year survival rate across 17 species, reported every year including through the 2023 bleaching event) matter more than it would in a calmer funding environment. Mike's own dive shop, Key Dives, also picked up four first-place wins in Scuba Diving Magazine's 2026 Readers Choice Awards for the US and Canada region, a business result Mike ties directly back to the restoration work. This is the fifth and final episode of a week built around Andrew's interview with Mike Goldberg, co-founder of I.CARE. The Trailer: https://vimeo.com/1053261342 Takeaways: Descent – Into the Blue, a new documentary narrated by Peter Coyote, starts airing on public television stations nationwide September 1, 2026, and Mike Goldberg appears in it as one of its central voices. Mike's own read that this year's heat would have caused mass bleaching by 1995 standards but hasn't is his personal, anecdotal observation, not a peer-reviewed finding, a distinction he makes himself on air. I.CARE's funding model is built from small, mandatory, layered fees (a $2 dive add-on, Mike's personal 2 percent donation, an additional local-diver fee), not one large ask, and Mike frames all of it as a fiduciary responsibility to every participant. I.CARE monitors 100 percent of what it plants rather than a sample, producing a 47 percent one-year survival rate across 17 species that it has reported every year, including through the 2023 bleaching event. Florida's state coral restoration funding is genuinely uncertain right now, which is exactly why a visitor-funded, radically transparent model matters more today than it would in a more stable funding environment.

Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health.Learn more at empowerfunctionalhealth.com_____Dr. Judi Keller is a veterinarian who spent roughly two decades practicing conventional veterinary medicine before shifting toward a more holistic approach. After becoming increasingly uncomfortable with how heavily veterinary care could rely on pharmaceuticals and symptom management, she pursued additional training in acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, and integrative care. Her work has focused on helping dogs and cats build better health through species-appropriate nutrition, reducing unnecessary exposures, and looking more carefully at the individual animal rather than automatically following a one-size-fits-all protocol.In this conversation, we question some of the most routine decisions pet owners are asked to make and why many of us rarely stop to examine them. We discuss what may be hiding behind familiar pet-food labels, how veterinary recommendations have changed over time, and how to think more critically about nutrition, medications, vaccines, parasite prevention, testing, and other aspects of everyday pet care. This episode is not about avoiding veterinary care; it is about becoming a more informed pet owner, understanding risks and trade-offs, and asking better questions so you can make thoughtful decisions for the animal you love.We discuss the following: Dr. Judy Keller's backgroundPet longevity versus quality of life Foods dogs should never eatWhat's really inside kibble?Urinary disease in catsAre all pet vaccines necessary?Potential risks of vaccinationRethinking heartworm preventionFlea prevention without routine medicationRethinking spaying and neuteringWhy fresh food isn't considered Why working dogs choose meat When bloody diarrhea needs care _____EPISODE RESOURCESHolistic Dog and Pet Wellness Article_____WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

Most coral restoration groups check on a sample of what they've planted, often around 20 to 30 percent, and report that sample as if it represents everything in the water. I.CARE checks on all of it. Every single coral outplant gets monitored at one week, one month, 90 days, then one, two, and three years, with no substitute and nothing left unaccounted for. That rule was built in by co-founders Mike Goldberg and Dr. Kylie Smith before I.CARE ever planted its first coral, and Mike frames it as a matter of fiduciary duty, the same obligation he'd expect from anyone handling someone else's money, whether that's a $2 add-on on a Key Dives trip or a large donation. The number that discipline actually produces is a 47 percent one-year survival rate, tracked across all 17 coral species I.CARE works with. Mike considers it strong, and few practitioners in the field can even produce a comparable number, since it depends on tracking everything rather than a flattering sample. I.CARE didn't pause that reporting during the 2023 global bleaching event either; it kept publishing survival numbers straight through it. That matters because coral restoration, as a field, mostly doesn't do this. A 2020 peer-reviewed systematic review in PLOS ONE found that roughly 60 percent of restoration projects worldwide were monitored for less than 18 months, and that 45 percent of projects didn't even measure the ecological goals they'd originally set out to hit. A second peer-reviewed paper, published in Conservation Letters in September 2025, goes further, arguing that funding for marine restoration is currently outpacing the underlying science and framing under-monitored projects as a real greenwashing risk to the field. None of this is about naming or shaming any specific organization; both papers describe a structural, field-wide problem. It also lands at a genuinely uncertain moment for funding: Florida's 2023 executive order promised to restore a quarter of the state's reef tract by 2050, but as of the 2026–2027 budget cycle, neither the state House nor Senate proposal funded the program's second phase, leaving over a dozen research groups and nonprofits needing to shuffle funding. That's exactly why I.CARE's visitor-funded model and its radical transparency about outcomes, good and bad, matter more right now than they would in a world of stable government funding. This is episode four of a four-part week built around Andrew's interview with Mike Goldberg, co-founder of I.CARE, airing Friday. Takeaways: Checking on 100 percent of what's planted, instead of a sample, is unusual in this field, and it's the specific practice Mike credits with earning donor trust. I.CARE didn't stop reporting its numbers during a bad year (the 2023 bleaching event). That's arguably the real test of whether transparency is a genuine practice or just a marketing line. Field-wide, peer-reviewed research backs up how unusual this actually is: most coral restoration projects worldwide get monitored for a year or less, and close to half don't even measure the goals they originally set out to hit, a gap recent research frames as a real greenwashing risk for the field. A spot check of a fraction of what's actually in the water can't tell you the truth about the rest of it, and representing it as if it can misrepresents the real outcome to the people funding the work. State and federal funding for Florida's own coral restoration effort is genuinely uncertain right now, documented independently of Mike's interview, which is exactly the kind of risk a visitor-funded, trust-based model is built to survive. website: https://icareaboutcoral.org/

Find out how to help at The Care Workers Charity ‘Get Involved' page. Adult social care in England is one of the hardest, lowest-paid jobs in the country, holding up a system that governments of both main parties call "broken" – yet keep declining to fix. The average care worker is paid close to the legal minimum, and the sector's vacancy rate is three times the national average. Into that vacancy vacuum, the post-Brexit Tory government opened the Skilled Worker visa route. Arrivals surged. Care workers became the single biggest group on the visa, and the UK suddenly hit RECORD NET MIGRATION! Over 900,000 in 2023. The headlines went wild. That peak became a political weapon. The state's response was not to fix pay or funding in the care sector. It was to squeeze the very workforce it had just imported. Care workers lost the right to bring family over. Sponsor licenses were sweepingly revoked, and thousands of workers were left stranded, often laden with recruitment debt, given no recourse to public funds. The media ignored the human costs of the cull they cheered on.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Mark Wilson, Author of Breakthrough Alzheimer's Care as guest to the show.   About Mark Wilson:   After Mark's Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's he left his 22+ career as a Leadership & Human Resources Executive for Taco Bell to take care of his Mom full time at home. Mark discovered that his love and passion for his mom, his passion to learn, and his executive career leading leadership development, Talent and training (including training on Breakthrough Thinking), helped him lead care to achieving breakthrough results for his mom where she lived 3 times longer and happier than anyone expected.   In addition to writing a combo memoir & how to playbook on his journey with his mom, Mark is a passionate advocate for the disease, leading Alzheimer's support groups, advocating in DC and Sacramento, and leads various fundraising, and patients rights activities.     About Breakthrough Alzheimer's Care:   Breakthrough Alzheimer's Care by Mark Wilson is a deeply personal and practical guide for families navigating Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Drawing from his own experience leaving a successful corporate leadership career to care for his mother after her Alzheimer's diagnosis, Wilson shares how he applied the principles of leadership, problem-solving, and continuous learning to create a more intentional and compassionate approach to caregiving.   Blending memoir with actionable guidance, the book introduces Wilson's Bold Care Leadership approach and explores strategies for building an effective care team, creating supportive daily routines, improving safety and quality of life, strengthening communication with healthcare professionals, supporting nutrition and cognitive engagement, and helping family caregivers protect their own well-being. Rather than viewing caregiving simply as something to endure, Wilson encourages families to become confident advocates and active leaders in the care of the people they love.   At its heart, Breakthrough Alzheimer's Care is a story of love, advocacy, resilience, and possibility. Through the lessons Wilson learned while caring for his mother, the book offers families practical tools and a hopeful perspective on how thoughtful, coordinated, person-centered care can help create greater connection, dignity, purpose, and meaningful moments throughout the Alzheimer's and dementia journey.

This week Sarah sits down with Dr. Tony Nader, a physician, neuroscientist, and leader in the Transcendental Meditation movement, to explore one of the biggest mysteries of our existence: consciousness. Together, they explore the relationship between the mind and body, science and spirituality, meditation and creativity, and what it means to access a deeper sense of self. On this episode of Moonbeaming you'll hear: How Dr. Tony Nader went from physician and neuroscientist to studying consciousness and Transcendental Meditation What consciousness actually is and why Dr. Nader believes it extends far beyond human consciousness How meditation can create a state of inner silence while maintaining deep alertness and awareness Why stress and fear narrow our consciousness and limit the possibilities we can see How calming the nervous system can create more space for creativity, intuition, and clearer decision-making The connection between meditation, the brain, creativity, and the default mode network How Transcendental Meditation can help us reconnect with what Dr. Nader describes as our deeper, truer self What it means to live from a place of greater consciousness, connection, and care --- Dr. Tony Nader is a physician, neuroscientist, Vedic scholar, and leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement. A Harvard- and MIT-trained scientist, he is the author of Consciousness Is All There Is and his newest book, The Power of Caring, which explores how caring is rooted in consciousness and how we can cultivate deeper, more fulfilling connections with ourselves and others. https://drtonynader.com/ --- Join Our Community: Join the Moon Studio Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themoonstudio Buy the 2026 Many Moons Lunar Planner: https://moon-studio.co/products/many-moons-2026?srsltid=AfmBOopThx1yrmKl0tMjecc_EFeeN5DAiIafqPqvQ4Uke1WEi5droeam Subscribe to our newsletter: https://moon-studio.co/pages/newsletter Find Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gottesss/

You can have five doctors and still have no one actually in charge of your care. That gap is where patients get lost. In this episode, retired surgeon and patient advocate Alan P. Feren walks through a common case where the surgeon, primary care, and specialists each assume someone else is directing the plan, and no one is. This episode is based on his article "Fragmented care needs clinical direction, not more data," published on KevinMD. You will hear why coordination is not the same as clinical direction, how disconnected medical records leave patients to piece their own care together, and why confusion can look like progress from the outside. He also explains where AI can genuinely help patients and where it falls short. Hear the exact questions he says every patient with multiple doctors should be asking.

How the 340B Drug Discount Program Quietly Raises Costs for Self-Insured Employers. Episode 527. Why should a self-insured employer care about the 340B charity program? That's the single question Stacey Richter puts to Shawn Gremminger, president and CEO of the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions, in this episode—and his answer traces four ways the $68 billion program quietly drives up what employers and plan sponsors pay for drugs and medical care. From supercharged hospital consolidation to disappearing PBM rebates, Gremminger lays out why 340B, once treated as a niche topic, now sits squarely at the center of the drug pricing debate. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ Why 340B—now the second-largest drug purchasing program in the country at roughly $68 billion a year—matters directly to self-insured employers, not just to pharma and hospitals ✅ How 340B-driven hospital consolidation pushes up prices for all services, not just drugs, since hospital spend typically makes up 55–58% of total employer health plan costs ✅ Why 340B hospitals tend to mark up drugs even more aggressively than non-340B hospitals, and why 340B clinics disproportionately prescribe higher-priced drugs over cheaper alternatives ✅ How the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price caps are reportedly pushing some 340B entities to nonmedically switch patients toward non-IRA, higher-margin drugs ✅ Why employers lose access to PBM-negotiated rebates entirely whenever a drug is purchased through the 340B channel instead of the traditional channel ✅ Why Shawn Gremminger argues employers, purchasers, and policymakers need to stop treating 340B as a separate, carved-out issue from the broader drug pricing debate WHY THIS MATTERS Hospital spend already makes up more than half of a typical self-insured employer's healthcare costs, and 340B's distortions—inflated markups, prescribing skewed toward higher-priced drugs, and vanishing rebates—flow straight into that spend. A recent study found that for every point increase in hospital prices, non-healthcare employers respond by cutting payroll and jobs for middle-class workers. As 340B has grown from a niche $5–10 billion program into a $68 billion one, treating it as someone else's problem is no longer an option for anyone trying to understand or control drug pricing.

Coral nurseries need constant maintenance, and that maintenance is expensive and relentless. When Andrew talked to Mike Goldberg, co-founder of I.CARE, his answer wasn't to hire more staff. It was to let paying customers do it for the fun of it. Mike owns a dive shop in the Florida Keys, so the paying customers are scuba divers, and over the years he's built a funding model so small that nobody has ever really complained about it. None of that makes sense until you understand what coral actually is. It's an animal, not a plant or a rock: what looks like one coral "head" is really a colony of thousands, sometimes millions, of tiny individual animals called polyps, each one secreting a bit of limestone-like skeleton that builds up, generation after generation, into the physical structure of a reef. Most reef-building corals also host a photosynthetic algae, zooxanthellae, living in their own tissue, a genuine partnership that gives coral its color and most of its food energy, and whose loss under heat stress is what "bleaching" actually is. Corals also make more of themselves two completely different ways: asexual fragmentation, where a broken piece reattaches and grows into a genetic clone, which is exactly what coral gardening recreates on purpose, and sexual reproduction, where colonies release eggs and sperm in a synchronized event that produces genuinely new, genetically diverse offspring. I.CARE's whole nursery operation is built on deliberately harnessing fragmentation, and this episode walks through how that biology turns into a funding model. The pop-up nursery concept, originated by Florida Keys restoration pioneer Ken Nedimyer, lets I.CARE keep coral and sponges just feet from where they'll actually be outplanted instead of stressfully hauling them from one central nursery. And the money behind it comes from small, mandatory, low-friction fees layered together: a $2 add-on on every $100 dive across three dive shops, Mike personally donating 2% of his own dive revenue on top of that, and a local-diver membership fee, all stacked so no single piece feels like a big ask. This is episode three of a four-part week built around Andrew's interview with Mike Goldberg, airing Friday. Takeaways: Cutting a fragment off a healthy coral doesn't hurt it, because a coral colony is really thousands of genetically identical animals, not a single organism the way a fish or a mammal is. Coral restoration nurseries are deliberately organized versions of something that already happens naturally when a storm breaks coral apart. The innovation is doing it on purpose, at scale, with a plan for where each fragment ends up. The most labor-intensive part of coral restoration, offshore nursery maintenance, got solved with a business idea, not a science one: make it something paying customers want to do anyway. I.CARE's funding model isn't one big ask. It's several small, mandatory, low-friction fees layered together, each small enough that nobody has pushed back. A conservation program can double as a competitive business advantage. Mike ties Key Dives' award recognition and its restoration work together as the same story.

There comes a moment when the woman who holds everything together has to ask herself one sacred question: Who is taking care of me?In this episode of Girl, We Got This, Laticia Rolle speaks to the women who carry the weight, remember the details, make the calls, nurture the relationships, show up for the family, hold space for their friends and somehow keep going even when their own cup has been empty for far too long.This is not a conversation about bubble baths and spa days. It is a conversation about stewardship of your body, your energy, your time, your peace, and your joy. Laticia challenges the belief that being a good woman means being endlessly available and reminds listeners that exhaustion is not proof of love, worthiness, or strength.Through the metaphor of a garden, she asks women to stop tending to everyone else's flowers while neglecting their own soil. She explores boundaries without guilt, saying no without an essay, creating small daily sanctuaries, and asking one simple question each morning: What do I need today?Because the goal isn't to stop loving, giving, nurturing, or showing up. The goal is to stop disappearing while doing it.You were never meant to pour from depletion. Take care of the woman everything else depends on and let the rest of your life be watered from her overflow.This episode is sponsored by TRESS Hats, designed by women for women, featuring a patented flexible three-band back and satin lining made to accommodate and protect a variety of hairstyles; Tresshats.comSubscribe to Girl, We Got This and leave a five-star review to help more women find these conversations.

Kyle Bertin thinks the industry has the returns conversation backwards. His company, Two Boxes, builds software for the section of the fulfillment center nobody wants to walk into, and his argument is that returns are an inventory management problem. He calls it the least optimized inventory pool most merchants own.The math he runs uses a hypothetical $100 million apparel brand. A 25% return rate sends $25 million of GMV back through the door, and at the 50% restock rate he sees in unoptimized operations, half of that never makes it back to full-price sale. Bertin says 80% restock is achievable across his customer base, which frees roughly $7.5 million of inventory and, after sell-through and gross margin, puts the net income impact between $3 and $5 million. For context on what that means against a real P&L, public apparel brands have spent the past several quarters working to hold net margins in the low double digits.He also tells the story of a footwear CFO who looked at a 35% return rate a few years ago and said, directly, that he did not care. At the time the reasoning held up. He was buying at under 20% COGS out of Vietnam, bringing it in duty-free under the Section 321 de minimis exemption, financing inventory in transit at close to zero interest, and answering to investors who rewarded growth over profitability. Bertin takes each of those conditions apart in turn, which is his explanation for why the inbound started as a trickle in 2023 and hasn't slowed.We also get into what has to change on a 3PL warehouse floor, where AI is doing real work in returns processing and where it isn't, the new Radial partnership, and Bertin's claim that only about 5% of returned items are genuinely unsalvageable.This Watson Weekly interview is sponsored by Radial.#watsonweekly #supplychain #returns #inventorymanagment

Send us Fan MailRon O'Hare has spent more than 25 years working at the intersection of sport physiotherapy, leadership, and high performance. Today, he serves as Senior Manager of Health Performance at the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario, leading integrated health services supporting Olympic, Paralympic, and high-performance athletes and coaches.But this conversation is about much more than Ron's professional résumé.We go back to his childhood, growing up “on the other side of the tracks,” and explore how sport became a place of structure, safety, identity, and belonging. Ron shares his journey from dreaming of becoming a professional baseball player to finding volleyball, eventually playing five years at Queen's University before discovering his path into physiotherapy.From there, our conversation moves through more than two decades of clinical practice, building and running his own clinic, raising four children, working within Canadian high-performance sport, and eventually stepping into health-performance leadership.Ron speaks openly about compassion, caregiving, persistence, leadership, family, professional sacrifice, and the fatigue that can come from spending a career deeply invested in helping others. We also discuss how difficult experiences, including a tragic event involving an athlete during a training camp in St. Kitts, changed his perspective on leadership, responsibility, and what really matters.At its heart, this is a conversation about the person behind the practitioner. About how our experiences shape the way we care for people, how our priorities change over a lifetime, and why meaningful careers are rarely built according to a perfectly constructed plan.Another thoughtful conversation with an experienced practitioner, leader, father, coach, and genuinely reflective human being.Enjoy.If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston. You can find all things LYM at www.LYMLab.com, download your free Life Lab Starter Kit today and get busy living https://lymlab.com/free-lym-lab-starter/Please take the time to visit and connect with our sponsors, they are an essential part of our success:www.ReconditioningHQ.comwww.FreePainGuide.com

We all know too much screen time isn't good for kids—and our instinct as parents is to protect them from it. But when fear shapes how we manage screens at home, it can quickly turn into shame the moment they pick one up. In today's world, where screens are woven into so much of daily life, the real challenge is to face that reality with thoughtfulness – and to make choices guided by our values, not by guilt. In this favorite episode from the archive, Dr. Becky sits down with screen time expert Ash Brandon, EdS (@thegamereducator) to talk about the moral judgments, practical boundaries, and family-specific choices that shape our approach to screens. * Thank you to our partners for making this episode possible: SmartyPants: Shop SmartyPants Vitamins at Target, Walmart, or Amazon today Frida: Shop Frida at Amazon, Target, and Walmart today Pampers Easy Ups: Start your potty training journey with Peppa Pig Pampers Easy Ups Care.com: For a limited time, you can use the code BECKY35 to save 35% on a Care.com Premium Membership.* *Offer applies to initial term of Care.com membership subscriptions.

Most people know they should exercise, eat better, move more, and take better care of themselves. The problem is turning that knowledge into consistent action. A meaningful quest can give your training a reason beyond simply checking off another workout. It might be getting stronger, losing weight, improving your health, preparing for a physical challenge, or simply becoming someone who is proud of the way they take care of their body. Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson discuss why action often has to come before identity, why motivation is unreliable, and how a clear vision of the person you want to become can help guide what you do today. They also explore: Why training needs a meaningful purpose The difference between a goal and a quest Why motivation often follows action How social media can distort your definition of progress Why real transformation usually comes from boring, repeatable actions How to turn a future vision into something you can do today You do not need to transform your entire life at once. Find a quest worth pursuing, identify the next action, and start acting like you care about your body.

Great leadership isn't about being harsh or overly soft. It's about practicing empathetic leadership: caring about people while holding them accountable to the standards required by the mission. In this conversation, I share how keeping the wrong person on the team for too long damaged morale, created toxicity, and cost the company great employees. You'll learn: -Why being unclear is unkind -How to coach employees with empathy -When accountability must become non-negotiable -Why toxic behavior can't be ignored -How to know when someone is "firing themselves" -When immediate termination is necessary -How to communicate a firing without creating gossip -Why culture must be actively protected -How strong leaders develop people beyond their job title -Empathy doesn't mean avoiding hard conversations. It means having them respectfully, clearly, and early. Care about the person. But separate them from the behavior. Give them a genuine opportunity to improve. But if they refuse to grow, protect the team and move forward. 00:00 Empathetic Leadership and the Cost of Keeping the Wrong People 01:01 The Hard Decision to Fire a Long-Term Employee 03:50 How Avoiding the Problem Damaged the Team 04:38 The Breaking Point and Final Decision 05:34 The Relief That Came After the Firing 06:42 Why Leaders Must Protect the Team and Mission 08:16 The Right Way to Coach Employees 10:00 "It's Unkind to Be Unclear" 12:40 When an Employee Isn't Willing to Grow 14:56 Why Leaders Must Follow Through 17:27 When Immediate Termination Is Necessary 18:57 Strategic Empathy in Leadership 22:10 Why Culture and People Drive Business Growth 27:17 Balancing Kindness, Boundaries, and Accountability 32:17 How to Communicate After Someone Is Fired 38:00 Advice for Leaders Avoiding a Difficult Conversation 41:00 Be Kind, Set Standards, and Follow Through Thank you all for making our podcast Elevating Beyond with Mark Minard, in the top #100 on iTunes, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, in over 52 difference countries :

Mike Goldberg had over 10,000 dives and decades running a dive shop in the Florida Keys, enough time to have seen the reefs at their pristine best. Then came a coral bleaching event in 2008, and a few years later, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease, a still-unexplained outbreak that's killed coral tissue outright across more than 20 of Florida's roughly 45 stony coral species since 2014. At one point his wife told him directly: the reef isn't what it used to be, and it's not getting better. Get out of the business before there's nothing left to sell. He didn't know what to do about it. Then, around 2017 into 2018, a young woman walked into his shop just to fill a couple of scuba tanks. She turned out to be Dr. Kylie Smith, a PhD student studying the relationship between parrotfish populations and coral outplants nearby. By the time she left, Mike had asked her a dozen questions. She kept coming back, and he kept asking more, in what he calls his own "period of discovery." It took roughly a year to find direction, and part of that year was Mike convincing Kylie not to take a government job and instead co-found a nonprofit with him, something her own family saw as risky. In this episode, Andrew walks through how that unlikely partnership, her science and his three decades of local hustle, became I.CARE (Islamorada Conservation and Restoration Education): a nonprofit that planted its first coral in January 2021, now runs its own onshore nursery, and partners with Mote Marine Laboratory, Reef Renewal USA, the Florida Aquarium, and the Reef Institute. This is episode two of a four-part week built around Andrew's interview with Mike Goldberg, co-founder of I.CARE. Monday's episode covered the global state of coral reefs and the case for restoration; this episode is Mike's own story before his full interview airs Friday. Takeaways: I.CARE didn't start with a grant or a strategic plan. It started with a dive shop owner's frustration and one chance conversation with a grad student who walked in to fill some tanks. The disease that pushed Mike to act, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease, isn't like bleaching. It's an unresolved, contagious, tissue-killing outbreak that's been spreading through Florida and the wider Caribbean for over a decade with no confirmed cause. The partnership worked because it paired two kinds of expertise that don't usually sit in the same room: a scientist's research and a small business owner's community connections and hustle. Mike spent part of a year talking Kylie out of a safer path (a government job) and into co-founding a nonprofit instead, a real risk her own family flagged at the time. Watching your own livelihood visibly decline, and choosing to act instead of walking away, is its own kind of origin story, separate from the science.

 The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation is observed each year on September 1. Pope Francis established it for the Catholic Church in 2015, joining a practice already observed in the Orthodox tradition. It is a day to thank God for the gift of creation, pray for the protection of the earth, and reflect on how we can better care for our common home. 

Ce înseamnă cu adevărat trauma la copii și când este vorba de disconfort? Diana Bălan de la ParentED Fest stă de vorbă cu Diana Vasile de la Institutul pentru Studiul și Tratamentul Traumei (ISTT) despre granița dintre ele.Părinții sunt avertizați constant să nu-și traumatizeze copiii, dar între un copil supărat, un copil frustrat și un copil traumatizat există diferențe importante, iar frica de a greși ne poate face să evităm exact lucrurile de care copilul are nevoie ca să se dezvolte.Diana Vasile este psihoterapeut, doctor în psihologie, fondatoarea Institutului pentru Studiul și Tratamentul Traumei (ISTT) și autoarea cărții „Anatomia traumei". Lucrează de peste două decenii cu traumă, reziliență și dinamici de familie.În acest episod discutăm despre:În ce condiții vorbim cu adevărat despre o traumă - context, resurse și trăiriCe face plecarea mamei de lângă copil să fie o sursă de reziliență, de stres (cronic) sau o traumă De ce plânsul, frustrarea și stresul sunt necesare pentru dezvoltarea copiluluiSleep training, mersul la creșă și impactul lăsării copilului să plângăCei patru pași ai reparării relației părinte-copil după greșeala părinteluiDe ce „întâi mă vindec, apoi fac copii" pleacă de la o premisă falsăRuperea contactului cu părintele ca adulți - când și în ce formă ajută sau dăunează Importanța neputinței sănătoase pentru reglarea noastră emoțională Acest episod este produs și distribuit cu susținerea LIDL România și face parte din colaborarea cu ParentED Fest, cel mai mare festival dedicat parentingului de la noi din țară."(00:00) Teaser""(02:26) Introducere - ParentED Fest, Diana Bălan și Diana Vasile""(04:02) Traumă și reparație: de ce să nu credem ce citim în Social Media""(06:03) Ce este de fapt o traumă - stresul care dezvoltă vs stresul care rupe""(09:15) Cum se simte și cum se manifestă trauma la copii""(12:12) Plecarea mamei de lângă copil: traumă, stres sau sursă de reziliență""(14:33) De ce temperamentul nu ține de educație și când îl putem observa""(18:21) Cele 3 capacități de antrenat la părinți și de ce sunt ele necesare""(21:34) De ce disconfortul nu e traumă și stresul e necesar în dezvoltare""(26:29) De ce e sănătos să plângă copilul și ce stă în spatele lui 'plânge prea mult'""(28:49) Sleep training, mers la creșă și impactul lăsării copilului să plângă""(35:47) Mitul lui 'trebuie să faci ce-ți zice copilul'""(37:33) Când să caute părintele ajutor - la ce comportamente să fii atent""(41:06) Greșeala părintelui și cei 4 pași ai reparării relației cu copilul""(48:18) Puterea legăturii părinte-copil și condițiile pentru repararea ei la orice vârstă""(50:56) Cum recunoaște părintele dacă furia lui vine din propria istorie""(57:26) Mitul lui 'întâi mă vindec, apoi fac copii'""(01:01:19) Ruperea contactului cu părintele - când și în ce formă ajută vs dăunează""(01:06:39) Care sunt principalele nevoi ale unui copil""(01:08:34) Importanța neputinței sănătoase pentru reglarea noastră emoțională""(01:12:26) Gând de final de la Diana Vasile pentru părinți"

Recorded at AIDS 2026 in Rio de Janeiro at the Roche Diagnostics booth, host Ben Plumley speaks with Professor Pedro Cahn (Fundación Huésped, Argentina) and Dr. Rupa Patel (Whitman-Walker Health, Washington, DC) about why diagnostics—often overlooked in the HIV continuum—are the essential entry point to prevention and care, especially amid reduced funding. They discuss late diagnosis and loss to follow-up, structural barriers like clinic access and hours, and the need for community-led, person-centered delivery models including outreach brigades, mobile and home-based services, and task shifting to peers and other health workers. The conversation covers integrating point-of-care and lab testing, the promise and risks of self-testing with real-time linkage to support, and linking HIV diagnostics with broader health needs such as TB, STIs, diabetes, and cancer screening to advance equity and progress toward 95-95-95. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 01:22 Live Booth Kickoff 02:20 Why Diagnostics Matter 07:11 Late Diagnosis and Equity 12:15 Reimagining Care Delivery 19:28 Outreach Testing in Practice 22:53 Point of Care vs Lab 27:28 Self Testing Debate 34:35 Building Integrated Platforms 38:30 Policy and Provider Barriers 43:43 Closing Calls to Action Guests: Professor Pedro Cahn Scientific Director Fundación Huésped, Argentina Dr. Rupa R.

Technical debt rarely arrives in a support ticket labeled “technical debt.” Customers experience something simpler: the product is slow, unreliable, or the same problem keeps coming back. Kristin Isaac, Co-Founder and CEO of Strudel, joins Robby to look at software maintainability from the customer and product side of the organization. Kristin shares how her background in customer success, sales, and support shaped the way she thinks about reliability and why engineering teams often lack the business context surrounding the problems they're being asked to solve. That disconnect becomes especially important when engineers need to advocate for work customers may never directly see. Kristin and Robby explore why talking about technical debt alone often fails to persuade business leaders, and how engineers can instead connect maintenance work to customer experience, renewals, revenue, reliability, and risk. They also discuss the danger of letting the loudest customer determine priorities, the tension between urgent roadmap work and important foundational work, and why engineers shouldn't quietly absorb the trade-offs that come with shipping faster. Kristin argues that better storytelling, shared metrics, and stronger relationships with customer-facing teams can help engineering make a much stronger case. The conversation also turns to AI and the growing gap between generating software and understanding it. Robby and Kristin consider what happens when engineers increasingly ask AI for help instead of their teammates, and what that might mean for collaboration, onboarding, and learning. Rather than keeping that experimentation inside engineering, Kristin sees an opportunity for engineers to become educators across the organization… helping colleagues understand where AI works, where it falls short, and how teams can experiment with it together. Episode Highlights [00:00:49] Measuring Well-Maintained Software: Kristin shares practical measures around alert volume, detection time, recovery time, and confidence in frequent deployments. [00:02:26] What Strudel Does: Kristin explains Strudel's focus on bringing engineering, support, customer, and business context together around technical customer issues. [00:07:35] What Customers Actually Experience: Robby and Kristin connect technical debt to the problems customers notice, including slow, unreliable, and broken software. [00:12:39] Prioritizing With Business Context: They explore competing incentives across engineering, product, sales, support, and customer success, including the danger of relying on the “squeaky wheel.” [00:21:14] Different Teams, Different Versions of the Problem: Kristin explains why no single department necessarily has the complete picture and why shared context matters. [00:23:29] Who Owns Reliability?: Robby and Kristin consider where responsibility for reliability sits across engineering, product, and the broader organization. [00:24:32] Making the Case for Technical Debt: Kristin explains why technical debt is easier to ignore when engineers can't connect it to measurable customer or business impact. [00:26:21] Advocating for Invisible Maintenance Work: The conversation turns to foundational improvements, the tension between urgent and important work, and partnering with customer-facing teams to build a stronger case. [00:33:25] Engineers as Storytellers: Kristin argues that engineers can become more effective advocates by learning how to communicate technical concerns in terms the rest of the business understands. [00:34:54] AI and the Understanding Gap: Robby and Kristin discuss whether software is becoming faster to generate than it is to understand and maintain. [00:37:20] What Happens When Engineers Stop Asking Each Other?: They explore AI's potential effects on collaboration, learning, onboarding, and the social dynamics of engineering teams. [00:46:20] Engineers as AI Educators: Kristin makes the case for engineers sharing their AI experiments with product, sales, marketing, and customer-facing teams instead of keeping that knowledge inside engineering.

In hour 3, Spadoni and Shasky go through the NFL games and teams just not to care about this season, plus which coast has the best NFL viewing in the country?

Cada verano, hombres con túnicas queman una efigie frente a un búho de doce metros en la ceremonia llamada Cremation of Care. Allí se gestó parte del Proyecto Manhattan y se anticiparon estrategias políticas globales, pero la ausencia total de registros alimenta las teorías más oscuras: desde cultos a Moloch hasta testimonios escalofriantes imposibles de verificar.
