Coming back from a few days off work should feel refreshing. Instead, it often means opening your inbox to 200 unread emails and not knowing where to start. In this How I AI episode, we look at how AI can help you get oriented faster by scanning, sorting, and summarising what’s landed while you were away. If email is a constant source of friction in your workday, this conversation will help you approach it more strategically. We talk through practical ways to use AI to triage your inbox quickly, catch up on long email threads, and create daily or weekly digests that surface what actually needs your attention. We also cover how to use AI to write better replies in your own voice, reflect the communication style of the person you’re replying to, and schedule meetings directly from an email thread using Microsoft Copilot. Neo and I discuss: Which AI tools can access your inbox and what that depends on Using AI to summarise unread emails after time away Creating tables that show what matters, what needs action, and what can wait How to generate daily or weekly inbox digests automatically Catching up on long email threads with clients, projects, or teams Using sent items to identify emails you still need to respond to Writing better replies by analysing your own writing style Reflecting someone else’s communication style to get better responses Scheduling meetings directly from email threads using Microsoft Copilot Connect with Neo Aplin on LinkedIn and via inventium.ai, where he leads Inventium’s AI training and upskilling work with organisations and teams.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Ryan Atencio explains why timing—not talent—is the biggest reason contractors lose government opportunities. You'll learn how relying on sporadic SAM.gov searches puts you weeks behind, why safe searches and daily monitoring are critical to catching opportunities the moment they drop, and how internal delays quietly kill bids before pricing or proposals even begin. The episode also breaks down why many companies pass on winnable work due to short timelines, how competitors often miss the same opportunities you assume they're chasing, and why mastering fast, repeatable proposal submission is one of the strongest unfair advantages in government contracting. Key Takeaways Speed beats perfection. Catching opportunities the day they drop gives you a massive edge over competitors who see them late—or not at all. Most companies self-eliminate. Delayed go/no-go decisions and slow pricing cycles cause businesses to pass on contracts they could win. Price always matters. Even in best-value trades, technically acceptable proposals often come down to cost—so never price like it's "a sure thing."

Send us a textReady to land a midwifery job that actually fits your philosophy, pace, and life? We open up about our own first-job journeys—what went right, what we'd change, and how each step shaped our expectations. From researching practice models to reading culture, we walk through the practical prep that matters most: knowing how the team truly functions, how midwives share call, and how collaboration shows up when the unit gets busy.We also get tactical about interviewing without sounding scripted. You'll hear simple ways to show your value as a new grad, even without L&D experience: bring a lean portfolio, summarize your clinical sites and numbers, and frame weaknesses as active growth plans. We share the questions that reveal the soul of a practice—what a clinic day really looks like, how decisions are made, and where midwives can train in procedures like first assist, colpos, or circumcisions. We also address the productivity myth, explaining how OB-heavy roles unlock revenue capacity across the team while improving access and experience.Career seasons don't always unfold on your timeline, and that's okay. We talk about handling rejection as redirection, running mock interviews with mentors, and keeping notes on what bothers you so you can ask sharper questions next time. If you want a job that respects physiologic birth and evidence, values your voice, and gives you room to grow, this conversation will help you get there.#DreamCatch #BabyCatchers #MidwifeLife #NewGradMidwife #MidwivesSupportMidwives #MidwiferyCareers @growmidwives

Tonight on WNS9+, we're joined by former Pirates catcher and current SportsNet Pittsburgh analyst Michael “Fort” McKenry for a conversation that's going to hit every nerve Pirates fans have right now. We start with Andrew McCutchen — why a return to Pittsburgh feels unlikely even though fans want it, and the debate Cutch has leaned into himself: can he still play the outfield? Fort doesn't just give an opinion — he lays out why he believes Cutch still has more in the tank, including why he thinks Cutch can be better at the plate than he was last season. Then we flip to Fort's home turf: the catching picture. What should the Pirates do with Henry Davis, Endy Rodriguez, Joey Bart, and Rafael Flores? Who fits best, what's realistic, and what's the biggest thing fans miss when evaluating catchers? We wrap with the left field mix and what additions like Jake Mangum and Jhostynxon Garcia could mean for the roster and the lineup.

In this week's episode of Next in Media, I sat down with Ian Trombetta, SVP of Social Influencer and Content Marketing for the NFL. We dove deep into how the league is winning the creator economy by building long-term partnerships with rising stars like Kai Cenat, Sketch, and Mr. Beast. Ian shared how his team identifies talent before they blow up, creating authentic relationships that benefit both the creators and the NFL's global reach. What struck me most was how the NFL isn't just throwing money at big names - they're investing in momentum and cultural relevance, finding creators who genuinely connect with the next generation of fans.Ian also walked me through the challenges of scaling this strategy globally, the lessons learned from his time at Red Bull and Activision, and what it takes to work with YouTube on their first-ever NFL broadcast. We discussed the NFL's massive Super Bowl creator activation - with over 150 creators on the ground in San Francisco - and how they're using everything from cooking competitions to fashion shows to showcase the culture around the game. Ian's philosophy is clear: let creators be themselves, provide them with massive value and exposure, and the authentic engagement will follow. It's a masterclass in modern brand building._________________________________________________________________Key Highlights:

This week we are joined by Former Major League Baseball Catcher & Solo Color Commentator For The Boston Red Sox, Bob Montgomery!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to welcome former Major League Baseball catcher Bob Montgomery, who shares his inspiring journey from Nashville to the big leagues. Montgomery reflects on his early days, the challenges he faced, and the pivotal moments that shaped his career. He discusses the importance of perseverance, the influence of family, and the mentors who guided him along the way. The conversation also touches on the evolution of baseball, the significance of teamwork, and the unique experiences of playing in Fenway Park. This episode is not just about sports; it's a testament to the power of belief and the pursuit of dreams, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking motivation and inspiration. However, Montgomery's passion for baseball and his experiences resonate, also make it a nostalgic journey for fans of the sport.Key Points:- Believing in yourself is crucial to success.- The journey to the big leagues is filled with challenges.- Family support plays a vital role in achieving dreams.- Mentorship can significantly impact one's career.- Hard work and dedication are key to staying in the game.About our guest: Bob Montgomery is a former Major League Baseball catcher best known for his decade-long career with the Boston Red Sox—and for being the last player in MLB history to bat without a helmet. Born in Nashville on April 16, 1944, he rose through the minors with strong defensive instincts and natural leadership behind the plate. Montgomery debuted with the Red Sox in 1970 and spent his entire ten-year career in Boston, serving as the trusted backup to Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk. Known for reliability and professionalism, he posted a .258 average with 23 home runs and 156 RBIs across 387 games, becoming a steady presence on and off the field. A key contributor during the Red Sox's 1975 pennant-winning season, he was admired for his sportsmanship, work ethic, and positive clubhouse influence. After retiring in 1979, he transitioned into broadcasting as a longtime Red Sox color commentator, where his insight and calm presence further cemented his place in Boston baseball history. Montgomery is remembered as a loyal, humble, and dependable professional whose career shows the lasting impact a dedicated role player can have on the game.Subscribe to Nick's top-rated podcast The Hitstreak on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Spotify: https://spotify.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

Clara Harris seemed to have everything. A successful dental career, a wealthy lifestyle, and a marriage that looked perfect from the outside. That image shattered when she discovered her husband, orthodontist David Harris, was having an affair with their receptionist, Gail Bridges.Instead of confronting him directly, Clara hired a private investigator to follow David to what she believed would be a final breakup meeting. But when she arrived at the Nassau Bay Hilton, she found David and Gail together at the same hotel where she and David once celebrated their wedding.What happened next was caught on video and witnessed by bystanders. In a burst of rage, Clara drove her Mercedes into David in the parking lot, then circled back and struck him again. Witnesses heard their daughter screaming for her to stop.At trial, Clara claimed the death was an accident. Prosecutors argued it was intentional. Under Texas law, the jury found she acted in sudden passion, reducing the charge and limiting her sentence to twenty years instead of life. Clara served fifteen years before being released from parole in 2023.The case sparked national debate about jealousy, betrayal, and whether emotional rage should ever reduce accountability for murder.

AI systems are moving fast, sometimes faster than the guardrails meant to contain them. In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner digs into the hidden risks inside modern AI models with Pamela K. Isom, exploring the governance gaps that allow agents to make decisions, recommendations, and even commitments far beyond their intended authority.Isom, former director of AI and technology at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and now founder and CEO of IsAdvice & Consulting, explains why AI red teaming must extend beyond cybersecurity, how to stress test AI governance before something breaks, and why human oversight, escalation paths, and clear limits are essential for responsible AI.The conversation examines real-world examples of AI drift, unintended or unethical model behavior, data lineage failures, procurement and vendor blind spots, and the rising need for scalable AI governance, AI security, responsible AI practices, and enterprise red teaming as organizations adopt generative AI.Whether you work in cybersecurity, identity security, AI development, or technology leadership, this episode offers practical insights for managing AI risk and building systems that stay aligned, accountable, and trustworthy.

In this week's episode of Crux True Survival Stories, hosts Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen tell the extraordinary story of Poon Lim—a Chinese sailor who survived 133 days alone on a life raft in the Atlantic Ocean, the longest solo life raft survival ever recorded. When a German U-boat torpedoes the SS Ben Lomond in 1942, Poon Lim becomes the ship's sole survivor. Adrift with minimal supplies, he battles dehydration, starvation, and despair. Using nothing but his wits and will to live, he catches fish with makeshift hooks, snares seabirds, collects rainwater, and even kills a shark with his bare hands. Discover how Poon Lim endured repeated near-rescues, brutal sun exposure, and complete isolation—and what it truly takes to survive when hope seems impossible. 00:00 Introduction 00:47 Meet the Hosts 01:11 Setting the Scene: Poon Lim's Ordeal Begins 02:39 The Sinking of SS Ben Lamond 06:18 Surviving the Open Ocean 09:39 Crafting a Survival Strategy 11:32 Near Rescues and Psychological Strain 17:08 Storms and Setbacks 18:48 Desperation and Determination 19:49 The Struggle for Survival 20:25 Desperation and Hard Measures 21:26 Sharks: A New Challenge 22:19 Catching a Shark 26:03 The Mental and Physical Toll 27:02 Near Rescue and Renewed Determination 29:19 Final Rescue and Recovery 34:57 Post-War Life and Legacy 37:39 Podcast Outro and Listener Engagement Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ SOURCES Wikipedia: "Poon Lim" Wikipedia: "SS Benlomond (1922)" War History Online: "Mess Steward Poon Lim Survived 133 Days Lost At Sea" History Defined: "Surviving 133 Days at Sea: The Remarkable Life of Poon Lim" Outdoor Revival: "Adrift - Poon Lim survived 133 days at sea on a wooden raft" Factinate: "The Unbelievable Survival Story Of Poon Lim" Today I Found Out: "The Man on the Raft: The Story of Poon Lim" RECOIL OFFGRID: "Survival at Sea" Ships Nostalgia: "Benlomond survivor WWII" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
