Legal scholar Elizabeth Chamblee Burch focuses on three women with mesh implants who were targeted, manipulated, and violated—at their own expense. Through the searing stories of Sharon Gore, Barbara Shepard, and Jerri Plummer—middle-aged women separated by geography, education, and socioeconomic factors—Burch sheds light on not only the injustices of mass torts, which she describes as “personal-injury litigation on steroids,” but also the indignities endemic in women's healthcare.  Drawing on more than 150 interviews conducted over two years, backed by 209,000 pages of documentation, THE PAIN BROKERS is at once a critical work of public service journalism and a real-life thriller. As Burch unfolds each level of the scheme, readers meet: Vincent Chhabra, a Versace-clad entrepreneur and architect of Alpha Law, LLC—which, despite its name and partnerships with some actual lawyers, was a call center. Headquartered at 1000 Corporate Drive in south Florida, Alpha Law employed nearly two hundred operators in headsets who capitalized on patients' private medical records, obtained through a data breach in India, to make unsolicited calls to vulnerable women with mesh implants, including Sharon, Barbara, and Jerri.      Blake Barber, a hulking ex-paralegal with a flamingo pink goatee who turned women's medical fears into cash for third-party funders by orchestrating a ruthless “concierge service” that flew terrified patients to Florida chop shops to have their mesh removed. Dr. Christopher Walker, a Jamaican-born urogynecologist known by his Instagram handle @Dr.Downtown who, after losing his savings in a Ponzi scheme, went from inserting mesh to extracting it at breakneck speed for seven times his normal fee—a feat made possible by refusing to accept women's insurance and forcing them to sign liens against their future settlement proceeds.  J.R. Baxter, a newly minted small-town Arkansas lawyer and passionate crusader for justice who, against daunting odds, represented Sharon, Barbara, and Jerri, as well as 180 other women.And finally, J.R. 's unlikely ally, Barbara Binis, a seasoned Philadelphia defense attorney hired to do financial damage control for a mesh manufacturer who devoted nearly four years to uncovering the mass-tort scheme.           Centered on three women who went through the mesh mill, THE PAIN BROKERS exposes the profit-hungry scammers and unscrupulous doctors whom they trusted.           Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Worker Centered: Allyship & Action in the Contemporary Labor Movement (Oxford UP, 2024) is a close-to-the-ground, ethnographic narrative of a workplace organizing campaign at a company whose workforce was primarily low wage and immigrant. The book details the overall strategy of the campaign and its ultimate failure to win its core demands. The organization used an innovative strategic model and insisted on the importance of worker leadership. And yet allies and staff participated in a campaign that, although continually framed as such, was decidedly not led by workers. Ultimately, Worker Centered challenges conventional notions of political representation, inviting reflection on the complexities of organizing the marginalized and speaking on their behalf. Our guest Biko Koenig is an Assistant Professor in the Government and Public Policy programs at Franklin & Marshall college in Lancaster, PA. He is also co-founder of Research Action, a worker-owned research and organizing firm that performs research and analysis for unions, solidarity economy organizations, community groups and social justice campaigns. Trained as an ethnographer and qualitative specialist at the New School for Social Research, Koenig's research investigates questions of political behavior and mobilization that centers the experiences of everyday actors as they seek to challenge status-quo power relationships.

Registration is now OPEN for the November 2026 cohort of my Japan Leadership Experience: https://kbjanderson.com/japantrip/What changes when leaders stop learning alone—and start learning together?Leadership development often focuses on individual insight: reading, listening, reflecting. But some of the most meaningful shifts in leadership don't happen that way.They happen when leadership teams go see, ask questions, and reflect together.That shared experience becomes a catalyst—aligning leaders around a new way of seeing their organization, supporting one another in practicing new behaviors, and driving lasting transformation.In this episode of Chain of Learning, you'll learn why immersive experiences can transform how leadership teams align, learn, and develop—and why learning in context often leads to change that lasts.Drawing on examples from my Japan Leadership Experience, we look at what happens when leadership teams step away from the day-to-day pressures of their roles and create space to learn and reflect in new ways.Shared experiences give leadership teams something powerful: a common reference point for how they want to lead and improve—accelerating organizational transformation.In this episode, we explore how to:Shift from learning as an individual activity to learning as a leadership team practiceCreate alignment by seeing and reflecting on the same thingsMove from “What did I learn?” to “What are we seeing differently?”Turn shared insights into new leadership behaviors back at workUnderstand why immersion and context matter when developing people-centered leadershipIMPORTANT LINKS:Full episode show notes with links to other podcast episodes and resources: ChainOfLearning.com/67 Check out my website for resources and ways to work with me KBJAnderson.comFollow me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kbjandersonDownload my free KATALYST™ Change Leader Self-Assessment: KBJAnderson.com/katalyst Learn more about my Japan Leadership Experience: kbjanderson.com/japantripRELATED EPISODES:Episode 25 | Getting Results Through the Power of Serious Leadership with Kecia Kelly and Amy ChaumetonEpisode 20 | How to Coach Executives and Influence Change with Brad ToussaintEpisode 48 | Make Leadership Meaningful: From Tools to Purposeful Impact with Josef ProcházkaEpisode 67 | Why Lifelong Learning Is the Foundation of Influence (and Can Limit Your Impact)Episode 4 | Leading for Impact: The Power of Being Over DoingEpisode 17 | Leading Change from the Middle with Pennie SaumTIMESTAMPS FOR THIS EPISODE:1:30 The gap between inspiration and the system you return to2:46  Three conditions that most leadership development is missing.4:13 The fundamental difference when others are learning beside you vs. learning alone4:47 How Jim, Healthcare COO,  accelerated transformation by inviting his team on the Japan Leadership Experience6:49 Transformations that past Japan Leadership Experience have experienced in accelerated learning and sustaining excellence in their organization10:34 Unlocking shoshin - the beginner's mind - through immersive experiences12:04 The benefits of observing Japan employees and companies in person14:22 The depth of connection that forms when you learn together16:43 Why shared learning is important for leaders to make changes that sticks18:55 The cultural impact of the Japan Leadership Experience21:31 The deepest leadership changes that come from shared learning and shared leadership Registration is now OPEN for the November 2026 cohort of my Japan Leadership Experience: https://kbjanderson.com/japantrip/

Welcome to another episode of Wesleyan Ways: Exploring Our Methodist Roots. In this episode, host Rev. Lisa McGehee and Bishop Sue Haupert-Johnson sit down with Rev. Doug Powe PHD, the President of Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa, Okla.

In this encouraging message, Chad Narayan reminds us that God is constantly at work in our lives—even when we don't recognize it. Centered on Psalm 66:5, he teaches that God invites us to “come and see” His works and realize that miracles are happening all around us every day. Instead of living with stress, control, and performance-driven faith, we are called to step back in awe and wonder, remembering that God's love is not earned but freely received. Chad challenges believers to shift their perspective by lifting their eyes to God, trusting that nothing is too difficult for Him and that every circumstance can be restored by His power. As we recognize God's presence and goodness, our faith grows and our anxiety shrinks. The message ultimately calls us to move from being spectators of faith to active witnesses—sharing our stories, living boldly for Christ, and partnering with God in what He is doing in our families, workplaces, and communities.

Presence Centered PrayerDr. Bill Elliff

The sermon unfolds a profound theological journey from Genesis 22 to Titus 2:11, revealing the grace of God as both a historical reality and a transformative present reality. Centered on the pivotal moment when Abraham was tested by being asked to sacrifice Isaac, the narrative highlights God's provision of a substitute lamb—a prophetic foreshadowing of Christ's ultimate sacrifice. This act of divine grace, embodied in Jesus Christ, is presented not as a mere theological concept but as the incarnate Word who became flesh, dwelling among humanity and revealing God's unmerited favor. The sermon emphasizes that Christ's appearance is the definitive manifestation of God's grace, which brings salvation to all people, not by human merit but by divine mercy, calling believers to respond with transformed lives marked by godliness, self-denial, and holy living. Ultimately, the message calls all listeners to repent, place faith in Christ alone, and embrace the life-altering reality of salvation, knowing that eternal life is not merely endless existence but a glorious, eternal communion with God in Christ.

Send a textDaniel Gledhill is a seasoned manufacturing and engineering leader whose career bridges high-risk industrial operations and precision-driven medical device manufacturing. Daniel leads engineering teams responsible for multiple production areas supporting transcatheter heart valve delivery systems—products where quality, reliability, and patient safety are absolutely critical.Daniel's journey to medical devices began in heavy industry, where he worked as a process, chemical, and metallurgical engineer at Rio Tinto, including leadership roles at copper smelters overseeing sulfuric acid plants, powerhouses, and byproduct operations. These early roles shaped his systems-level thinking, comfort with complex processes, and respect for disciplined operations—skills that would later translate powerfully into regulated medical manufacturing environments.Over nearly ten years at Edwards Lifesciences, Daniel has progressed from manufacturing management into senior engineering leadership, guiding teams through scale-up, process improvement, cross-functional collaboration, and organizational change. His work sits at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, quality, and leadership—where decisions directly impact both operational performance and patient outcomes.Daniel holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Utah, along with an MBA from the University of Utah's David Eccles School of Business. This combination of technical and business education informs his balanced approach to leadership—one that values data, people, and long-term system health over short-term wins.In this conversation, we explore what it really means to lead engineering teams in medical device manufacturing, how leadership expectations evolve as engineers move into management, and what lessons from heavy industry can sharpen execution in highly regulated, patient-critical environments.LINKS:Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-gledhill-a6155237/Guest website: https://www.edwards.com/  Aaron Moncur, hostDownload the Essential Guide to Designing Test Fixtures: https://pipelinemedialab.beehiiv.com/test-fixture Subscribe to the show to get notified so you don't miss new episodes every Friday.The Being An Engineer podcast is brought to you by Pipeline Design & Engineering.

Dante wakes back up from his unexpected sleep to find that the grand parade is heading off into the forest (or maybe the skies). He's in a panic that Beatrice has left, too, although the young woman of Eden comforts him and shows her now humble place under the renewed tree.Meanwhile, we readers are equally panicked . . . or at least de-centered, as we try to make sense of complicated similes and oblique symbolic meanings. COMEDY is getting more complex by the line. It's a game of interpretation we've been preparing to play since INFERNO, Canto I.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look at the passage just before the giant apocalyptic vision of PURGATORIO, Canto XXXII.To underwrite the many fees for this work, consider a one-time donation or a small monthly stipend using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:21] My English translation of PURGATORIO, Canto XXXII, Lines 70 - 108.

CPXL Season 2 • Episode 8: What Jesus Says about Greed and True WealthCPXL, or CrossPoint Extra Large, is your midweek companion to the weekend message from CrossPoint. Each episode takes a deeper dive into the Sunday sermon—exploring the text further, unpacking broader themes, and offering practical ways to live out God's Word. Designed to equip and encourage Everyday Missionaries, CPXL helps you Love God, Grow Up, Serve All, and Live Sent.This week on CPXL, Pastors Andy Addis and Eric Franklin lean into the heart of generosity following Vision Weekend, exploring what Jesus teaches about money, security, and the condition of our hearts. Centered on Luke 12:13–21 and the warning against living foolishly, they unpack the parable of the rich fool and Jesus' encounter with the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:21–22. Together, these passages reveal how easy it is to build bigger barns while neglecting eternal treasure.We explore the subtle pull of accumulation, the danger of mistaking blessing for ownership, and how generosity becomes a safeguard against self-reliance.

This week, Bekah Sankey brings us back to the Sermon on the Mount, teaching from Matthew 5:17–37; 7:15–23, with reflections from Romans 7–8, Galatians 5, Hebrews 10, and Jeremiah 31. Centered on what she calls Kingdom Words, this message explores how the way we speak reveals who we belong to—and whether we truly know the One we name.Beginning with Jesus' bold declaration, “You have heard it said… but I say to you,” Bekah unpacks how Christ establishes Himself as the fulfillment of the Law—not abolishing it, but completing it. From that foundation, she traces what this means for our speech. If Jesus is the living Word and the Law fulfilled, then kingdom people must speak in ways that reflect His authority, integrity, and Spirit.Walking through Jesus' teaching on oaths (Matthew 5:33–37), she calls us back to simple, honest speech: let your “yes” be yes. In a culture saturated with exaggeration, spin, and self-protection, clarity and truthfulness become radical acts of discipleship. Moving into Matthew 7, she challenges us to “check the fruit”—not measuring spiritual vitality by visible gifts or dramatic moments, but by the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5).Finally, in one of Jesus' sobering warnings—“I never knew you” (Matthew 7:23)—we are reminded that powerful words and spiritual works mean nothing apart from intimacy with Him. Prophecy, miracles, and ministry cannot replace knowing Jesus. Kingdom speech flows from relationship, not performance.This message is both invitation and warning: tell the truth, check the fruit, and know Him. As we yield to the Holy Spirit—the One who writes the law on our hearts—we become people whose words create life, whose speech multiplies the kingdom, and whose lives bear lasting fruit.

After addressing the occasion of public worship, expounding references from the greater context of scripture, and laying out practical guidelines, the apostle summarizes his house keeping instructions for the Corinthian church in one sentence at the close of this chapter:" "... All things should be done decently and in order." (40). The standards for decency and order according to the calling of the local church are the subject of our text today. Central to our passage, verses 24 & 25 outline aims for Gospel ministry in the church age. This summary, is a literary structure, is fractal (a concise version of a broader pattern). We can use these categories to outline surrounding verses fro1n (20-40), we'll cover 2 points through verse 26 in this message.

What if the real measure of success isn't how much you achieve, but how intentionally you spend your time? We sit down with Daren Blonski—founder of Fermata Advisors, including Sonoma Wealth Advisors and related firms—to unpack how he built a fast-scaling advisory enterprise by designing for freedom first. Darren shares why leaving a high-travel consulting career forced him to redefine success, and how a clear, values-driven schedule helped him be present at home and decisive at work.We walk through his simple, powerful calendar architecture—days working in the business, on the business, and in renewal—and how mapping years in advance creates permission to focus without guilt. Daren explains how he hires complements using the DISC framework, pairing visionary drive with detail excellence to eliminate bottlenecks. He opens the playbook on scaling during uncertainty: pivot fast, pursue green lights, and keep culture practical. Along the way, we dig into his 10% rule for personal reinvestment through masterminds and coaching, and why curating the right rooms accelerates leadership growth.Feedback takes center stage as Daren reframes it as data, not drama. He shares a no-cringe tactic to raise feedback quality—ask every team member, “What are your expectations of me?”—and highlights the obligation to follow through. We close with the habits that sharpen decision-making under pressure: pre-dawn reading to expand perspective, hard training to discharge stress, and sleep as a non-negotiable lever for cognition and steadiness.

In this inspiring episode of Reading With Your Kids, host Jed Doherty welcomes author Celesta Rimington to talk about her powerful new middle grade novel "Reach." Centered on a boy named Denver, Reach explores the complicated emotions that come with blended families, sibling tension, and the grief of losing the "old" version of your family. When a mysterious magical forest and an ancient talking tree transform Denver's younger stepbrother into a tree, Denver is forced to confront his unspoken wishes and big feelings about change, loss, and love. Celesta shares how her own childhood—losing her father at a young age, becoming the older half-sibling in a large blended family, and feeling both responsible and displaced—informs Denver's journey. She also explains how nature, national parks, and asking "what if?" questions fuel the magic in her stories, including Reach, The Elephant's Girl, and Tips for Magicians. Parents and educators will love her ideas for using Reach to spark family conversations about grief, change, identity, and the idea of "forced family" versus chosen family, as well as the fun STEM elements in the book, from robotics to the "wood wide web." Later, Jed talks with Michael Cottman, author of "Segregated Skies: David Harris's Trailblazing Journey to Rise Above Racial Barriers." Michael shares the inspiring true story of David Harris, the first Black commercial airline pilot for a major U.S. airline, and how his perseverance, humility, and courage during the Civil Rights era can inspire young readers, especially during Black History Month.

In a world where many professionals spend their days behind screens, thinking, analyzing, and producing ideas, it's easy to become disconnected from the body.

In this episode, Laura explores the difference between judgement and curiosity—and why learning to regulate our judgement is essential for becoming grounded, healthy adults. She explains how judgement is biologically protective, when it's necessary for safety, and when it crosses into harmful territory.

If you've ever found yourself judging too quickly—or judging yourself even more harshly—this episode invites you into compassion, clarity, and deeper relational awareness for yourself and others.

In Episode 2 of our Guided Prayer Podcast, we slow down with Psalm 25 and a time of worship, asking God to teach us His ways and lead us in His truth. Centered on John 13, this episode reflects on Jesus washing His disciples' feet—an intimate act of love on the night before His crucifixion. As Easter approaches, we're invited to consider not only what it means to sit at Jesus' feet, but what it means to let Him come to ours. Are there places in your life you'd rather keep untouched? Through Scripture, song, and guided reflection, this episode creates space to surrender those hidden areas and allow Jesus to love you fully—because resurrection life begins with honest surrender.
