In Part 2 of our conversation with certified lead auditor Jess Teasdake, we dig deeper into what it really takes to build an efficient, audit-ready quality management system (QMS). If you caught Part 1, you heard us talk through the big picture: certifications, audits, and what separates a good QMS from a bad one. This time, we're getting tactical. We're not just talking about passing an audit—we're talking about building a system that supports your team, reduces risk, and eliminates waste across your business. From risk registers and RPN scoring to digitizing your paperwork and planning with cross-functional teams, we cover the actual tools and habits that make quality real on the shop floor. Along the way, we share stories from our own shops—what's worked, what hasn't, and how integrated technology has changed the game. We've lived the paper-chasing, binder-filled chaos that too many shops call a QMS. And we've seen what happens when you replace it with a connected system that actually reflects how your shop runs day to day. If you're working toward certification—or just want to build a culture of quality that doesn't require heroics to maintain—this episode is your blueprint. Segments (0:26) Grow your top and bottom line with CLA (2:53) Recap of Part 1 + why efficient QMS design matters in regulated industries (3:33) Defining and mapping core processes from RFQ to shipment (6:23) Risk-based thinking: risk registers, RPN scoring, and real-world examples (9:11) Tracking and improving risk scores over time with team input (11:33) Cross-functional planning: involving machinists, programmers, and QA early (12:57) Ballooned drawings, IPCs, and quality planning before the job hits the floor (14:01) Integrated quality checkpoints: from receiving to signoffs and inspection (16:20) Why going paperless saves time and improves accuracy (17:56) Join us at Top Shops 2025! (18:51) Quality as a company-wide responsibility—not a department (21:12) Digital documentation strategy and collaboration tips (23:26) How to implement QMS step by step (26:55) Linking vs. integrating: what real QMS tech should do (29:50) Before & after ProShop: how integrated QMS changed our audit process (33:46) Certification myths: ISO, AS9100, and audit readiness every day (35:53) Why QMS should be built into your tech stack and team culture (38:07) Use Hire MFG Leaders to recruit the next level of talent Resources mentioned on this episode Machine Shop MBA: Planning for Precision Register for Top Shops 2025 now: Get 20% off with code: MAK20 Connect With MakingChips www.MakingChips.com On Facebook On LinkedIn On Instagram On Twitter On YouTube

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Nikita: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead of Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs. Lois: Hi everyone! Welcome to a new season of the podcast. I'm so excited about this one because we're going to dive into the world of artificial intelligence, speaking to many experts in the field. Nikita: If you've been listening to us for a while, you probably know we've covered AI from a bunch of different angles. But this time, we're dialing it all the way back to basics. We wanted to create something for the absolute beginner, so no jargon, no assumptions, just simple conversations that anyone can follow. 01:08 Lois: That's right, Niki. You don't need to have a technical background or prior experience with AI to get the most out of these episodes. In our upcoming conversations, we'll break down the basics of AI, explore how it's shaping the world around us, and understand its impact on your business. Nikita: The idea is to give you a practical understanding of AI that you can use in your work, especially if you're in sales, marketing, operations, HR, or even customer service.  01:37 Lois: Today, we'll talk about the basics of AI with Senior Cloud Engineer Nick Commisso. Hi Nick! Welcome back to the podcast. Can you tell us about human intelligence and how it relates to artificial intelligence? And within AI, I know we have Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI, and Artificial Narrow Intelligence, or ANI. What's the difference between the two? Nick: Human intelligence is the intellectual capability of humans that allow us to learn new skills through observation and mental digestion, to think through and understand abstract concepts and apply reasoning, to communicate using language and understand non-verbal cues, such as facial expressions, tone variation, body language. We can handle objections and situations in real time, even in a complex setting. We can plan for short and long-term situations or projects. And we can create music, art, or invent something new or have original ideas. If machines can replicate a wide range of human cognitive abilities, such as learning, reasoning, or problem solving, we call it artificial general intelligence.  Now, AGI is hypothetical for now, but when we apply AI to solve problems with specific, narrow objectives, we call it artificial narrow intelligence, or ANI. AGI is a hypothetical AI that thinks like a human. It represents the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence, which is a system capable of chatting, learning, and even arguing like us. If AGI existed, it would take the form like a robot doctor that accurately diagnoses and comforts patients, or an AI teacher that customizes lessons in real time based on each student's mood, pace, and learning style, or an AI therapist that comprehends complex emotions and provides empathetic, personalized support. ANI, on the other hand, focuses on doing one thing really well. It's designed to perform specific tasks by recognizing patterns and following rules, but it doesn't truly understand or think beyond its narrow scope. Think of ANI as a specialist. Your phone's face ID can recognize you instantly, but it can't carry on a conversation. Google Maps finds the best route, but it can't write you a poem. And spam filters catch junk mail, but it can't make you coffee. So, most of the AI you interact with today is ANI. It's smart, efficient, and practical, but limited to specific functions without general reasoning or creativity. 04:22 Nikita: Ok then what about Generative AI?  Nick: Generative AI is a type of AI that can produce content such as audio, text, code, video, and images. ChatGPT can write essays, but it can't fact check itself. DALL-E creates art, but it doesn't actually know if it's good. Or AI song covers can create deepfakes like Drake singing "Baby Shark."  04:47 Lois: Why should I care about AI? Why is it important? Nick: AI is already part of your everyday life, often working quietly in the background. ANI powers things like navigation apps, voice assistants, and spam filters. Generative AI helps create everything from custom playlists to smart writing tools. And while AGI isn't here yet, it's shaping ideas about what the future might look like. Now, AI is not just a buzzword, it's a tool that's changing how we live, work, and interact with the world. So, whether you're using it or learning about it or just curious, it's worth knowing what's behind the tech that's becoming part of everyday life.  05:32 Lois: Nick, whenever people talk about AI, they also throw around terms like machine learning and deep learning. What are they and how do they relate to AI? Nick: As we shared earlier, AI is the ability of machines to imitate human intelligence. And Machine Learning, or ML, is a subset of AI where the algorithms are used to learn from past data and predict outcomes on new data or to identify trends from the past. Deep Learning, or DL, is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks to learn patterns from complex data and make predictions or classifications. And Generative AI, or GenAI, on the other hand, is a specific application of DL focused on creating new content, such as text, images, and audio, by learning the underlying structure of the training data.  06:24 Nikita: AI is often associated with key domains like language, speech, and vision, right? So, could you walk us through some of the specific tasks or applications within each of these areas? Nick: Language-related AI tasks can be text related or generative AI. Text-related AI tasks use text as input, and the output can vary depending on the task. Some examples include detecting language, extracting entities in a text, extracting key phrases, and so on.  06:54 Lois: Ok, I get you. That's like translating text, where you can use a text translation tool, type your text in the box, choose your source and target language, and then click Translate. That would be an example of a text-related AI task. What about generative AI language tasks? Nick: These are generative, which means the output text is generated by the model. Some examples are creating text, like stories or poems, summarizing texts, and answering questions, and so on. 07:25 Nikita: What about speech and vision? Nick: Speech-related AI tasks can be audio related or generative AI. Speech-related AI tasks use audio or speech as input, and the output can vary depending on the task. For example, speech to text conversion, speaker recognition, or voice conversion, and so on. Generative AI tasks are generative, i.e., the output audio is generated by the model (for example, music composition or speech synthesis). Vision-related AI tasks can be image related or generative AI. Image-related AI tasks use an image as the input, and the output depends on the task. Some examples are classifying images or identifying objects in an image. Facial recognition is one of the most popular image-related tasks that's often used for surveillance and tracking people in real time. It's used in a lot of different fields, like security and biometrics, law enforcement, entertainment, and social media. For generative AI tasks, the output image is generated by the model. For example, creating an image from a textual description or generating images of specific style or high resolution, and so on. It can create extremely realistic new images and videos by generating original 3D models of objects, such as machine, buildings, medications, people and landscapes, and so much more. 08:58 Lois: This is so fascinating. So, now we know what AI is capable of. But Nick, what is AI good at? Nick: AI frees you to focus on creativity and more challenging parts of your work. Now, AI isn't magic. It's just very good at certain tasks. It handles work that's repetitive, time consuming, or too complex for humans, like processing data or spotting patterns in large data sets.  AI can take over routine tasks that are essential but monotonous. Examples include entering data into spreadsheets, processing invoices, or even scheduling meetings, freeing up time for more meaningful work. AI can support professionals by extending their abilities. Now, this includes tools like AI-assisted coding for developers, real-time language translation for travelers or global teams, and advanced image analysis to help doctors interpret medical scans much more accurately. 10:00 Nikita: And what would you say is AI's sweet spot? Nick: That would be tasks that are both doable and valuable. A few examples of tasks that are feasible technically and have business value are things like predicting equipment failure. This saves downtime and the loss of business. Call center automation, like the routing of calls to the right person. This saves time and improves customer satisfaction. Document summarization and review. This helps save time for busy professionals. Or inspecting power lines. Now, this task is dangerous. By automating it, it protects human life and saves time. 10:48 Oracle University's Race to Certification 2025 is your ticket to free training and certification in today's hottest tech. Whether you're starting with Artificial Intelligence, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Multicloud, or Oracle Data Platform, this challenge covers it all!

That's education.oracle.com/race-to-certification-2025. 11:30 Nikita: Welcome back! Now one big way AI is helping businesses today is by cutting costs, right? Can you give us some examples of this?  Nick: Now, AI can contribute to cost reduction in several key areas. For instance, chatbots are capable of managing up to 50% of customer queries. This significantly reduces the need for manual support, thereby lowering operational costs. AI can streamline workflows, for example, reducing invoice processing time from 10 days to just 1 hour. This leads to substantial savings in both time and resources. In addition to cost savings, AI can also support revenue growth. One way is enabling personalization and upselling. Platforms like Netflix use AI-driven recommendation systems to influence user choices. This not only enhances the user experience, but it also increases the engagement and the subscription revenue. Or unlocking new revenue streams. AI technologies, such as generative video tools and virtual influencers, are creating entirely new avenues for advertising and branded content, expanding business opportunities in emerging markets. 12:50 Lois: Wow, saving money and boosting bottom lines. That's a real win! But Nick, how is AI able to do this?  Nick: Now, data is what teaches AI. Just like we learn from experience, so does AI. It learns from good examples, bad examples, and sometimes even the absence of examples. The quality and variety of data shape how smart, accurate, and useful AI becomes. Imagine teaching a kid to recognize animals using only pictures of squirrels that are labeled dogs. That would be very confusing at the dog park. AI works the exact same way, where bad data leads to bad decisions. With the right data, AI can be powerful and accurate. But with poor or biased data, it can become unreliable and even misleading.  AI amplifies whatever you feed it. So, give it gourmet data, not data junk food. AI is like a chef. It needs the right ingredients. It needs numbers for predictions, like will this product sell? It needs images for cool tricks like detecting tumors, and text for chatting, or generating excuses for why you'd be late. Variety keeps AI from being a one-trick pony. Examples of the types of data are numbers, or machine learning, for predicting things like the weather. Text or generative AI, where chatbots are used for writing emails or bad poetry. Images, or deep learning, can be used for identifying defective parts in an assembly line, or an audio data type to transcribe a dictation from a doctor to a text. 14:35 Lois: With so much data available, things can get pretty confusing, which is why we have the concept of labeled and unlabeled data. Can you help us understand what that is? Nick: Labeled data are like flashcards, where everything has an answer. Spam filters learned from emails that are already marked as junk, and X-rays are marked either normal or pneumonia. Let's say we're training AI to tell cats from dogs, and we show it a hundred labeled pictures. Cat, dog, cat, dog, etc. Over time, it learns, hmm fluffy and pointy ears? That's probably a cat. And then we test it with new pictures to verify. Unlabeled data is like a mystery box, where AI has to figure it out itself. Social media posts, or product reviews, have no labels. So, AI clusters them by similarity. AI finding trends in unlabeled data is like a kid sorting through LEGOs without instructions. No one tells them which blocks will go together.  15:36 Nikita: With all the data that's being used to train AI, I'm sure there are issues that can crop up too. What are some common problems, Nick? Nick: AI's performance depends heavily on the quality of its data. Poor or biased data leads to unreliable and unfair outcomes. Dirty data includes errors like typos, missing values, or duplicates. For example, an age record as 250, or NA, can confuse the AI. And a variety of data cleaning techniques are available, like missing data can be filled in, or duplicates can be removed. AI can inherit human prejudices if the data is unbalanced. For example, a hiring AI may favor one gender if the past three hires were mostly male. Ensuring diverse and representative data helps promote fairness. Good data is required to train better AI. Data could be messy, and needs to be processed before to train AI. 16:39 Nikita: Thank you, Nick, for sharing your expertise with us.

In this no-bullshido episode of Hoots on the Ground, Adam Hoots hangs out in Kyoto, Japan, with the one and only Thomas LaMay, a project leader at DPR Construction who's got Lean systems and people-first thinking down to a science. What starts as a chat about bucket list experiences at the International Group for Lean Construction (IGLC 33) turns into a full-on masterclass on designing better production systems—and better lives for the people doing the work. Thomas dives into the importance of caring for the people on the job, from the simple things (like clean port-a-potties and shaded break tents) to big ideas like integrating Mental Health First Aid, and team health assessments. The two explore how systems thinking, Last Planner System®, Takt planning, and location-based management aren't just tools—they're opportunities to make construction more human. Key takeaways include: Respect for people starts with the basics — Clean toilets, shaded break areas, and rest show genuine care for those doing the work. Design your system or someone else will — Intentional production systems (with flow, visual signals, and collaboration) beat chaos every time. Mental health is a safety issue — Treat it with urgency, awareness, and proactive tools like mental health first aid and daily empathy walks. This one's for every builder who gives a damn about people more than just deadlines. Because, as Thomas says, “If you don't design your production system, someone else will—and you may not like what they choose.”   ABOUT HOOTS ON THE GROUND PODCAST:The Lean Builder's absolutely, positively NO Bullshido podcast. Join host Adam Hoots and his guests as they dig deep into topics that matter most to those in the field.

The MOSAIC final rule, an interview with the founder and CEO of Flying Eyes Optics, FAA guidance on certification of powered lift vehicles, new galleries opening at the National Air and Space Museum, a Delta pilot lands and gets immediately arrested, deer strikes in Alaska, and the NTSB investigation of a fatal flight in that state. Also, thoughts on recent moves to relocate the Space Shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum to Space Center Houston. Guest Dean Siracusa Dean Siracusa is the founder and CEO of Flying Eyes Optics. Dean, a pilot, started the company when he realized that existing sunglasses did not perform well with the increased clamping force of modern aviation headsets. Flying Eyes temples are made of a patented material that allows the temples to conform to your head instead of curving around your ears. They're easy to put on and take off while wearing a headset or helmet. The flexibility of the temple material and shatterproof polycarbonate lenses makes these glasses hard to break. Hillel Glazer, our Aviation Innovation and Entrepreneurship Correspondent, interviewed Dean at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025. Aviation News U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy Announces Improvements to Recreational Aviation Safety, Expansion of Light-Sport Sector The Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) final rule was announced by U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. The new rule makes changes to the Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) category and Sport Pilot privileges by expanding an alternative to experimental amateur-built aircraft. MOSAIC: Removes the weight limit Encompasses aircraft with higher speeds, more seats, and retractable landing gear.  Allows for new types of propulsion and modern avionics. Allows aerial work with LSA, such as infrastructure and forest inspections, photography/filming, and agricultural surveillance. Allows pilots operating under Sport Pilot privileges to fly a broader range of aircraft. Reduces regulatory requirements by expanding the types of aircraft that qualify as LSA and the types of aircraft pilots can fly under Sport Pilot privileges. Changes for sport pilots and light-sport repairmen take effect 90 days after the final rule publishes. Changes for LSA certification take effect 365 days after the final rule publishes.

Duffy Holds Press Conference for Important Announcement on General Aviation https://www.youtube.com/live/iRzzTspdjUM?si=gje-ftiRm94Y2eY4 EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2025 Facts and Figures Attendance for the week: approximately 704,000, the highest on record. More than 10,000 aircraft, 2,543 show planes, nearly 6,000 volunteers, and 962 commercial exhibitors. FAA Releases Powered-Lift Certification Guidance Originally, certification of the new advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft types, such as eVTOLs, had been worked under Part 23 regulations for light aircraft. In 2022, the FAA categorized them as powered-lift under FAR 21.17(b) regulations for special class aircraft. That category had no airworthiness standards and operating rules. The FAA has now released an advisory circular “streamlining the certification process for advanced air mobility aircraft by releasing guidance for how manufacturers can meet the agency's aircraft design and performance safety standards. It establishes a consistent, performance-based framework for manufacturers to follow.  The FAA will carefully evaluate each proposed design to ensure it meets the agency's rigorous standards.” The AC defines powered-lift as heavier-than-air aircraft that use “engine-driven lift devices” or engine thrust for vertical takeoff and landing and low-speed flight. For lift during horizontal flight, they use rigid airfoils such as wings.

Working with clients who hold status, whether they are medical providers, influencers, politicians, or public figures, can present unique opportunities and challenges for doulas. Supporting high-visibility clients while maintaining the same standards of care, boundaries, and intent you offer every other family may not come as easily as you think. While there are potential benefits of these connections, there can also be stumbling blocks. It can be tempting to hope for public praise or referrals from influencers, but doulas must not bank on that exposure or let it influence their role. Confidentiality is non-negotiable, and these clients deserve the same privacy, respect, and space to be vulnerable without fear of judgment. Join us for a candid and professional conversation about supporting clients with influence, while staying grounded in ethics, integrity, and the heart of doula work.

Why do men and women so often miss each other completely despite the best of intentions? Misunderstandings between the sexes often lead to tension, hurt, and total communication breakdown. Today's guest, relationship expert Alison Armstrong, brings decades of research on male behavior to the table. She reveals how women unintentionally emasculate men by over-correcting, over-explaining, or interrupting. These habits push men out of their natural state of protect-and-provide into a posture of defense and retreat. Alison breaks down how to talk to men (hint: stop interpreting their reactions like they're female) and how just a few simple shifts can lead to dramatic transformation. By the end of this episode, you won't just understand men better, you might even turn a few frogs into princes.Alison's website: https://www.alisonarmstrong.com/NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

#233 - Nicole Dehne, director of Vermont Organic Farmers, shares what it means to uphold real integrity in a shifting organic landscape. From hydroponics and organic standards to the struggles of small farms, she explains how certifiers like VOF are fighting to preserve the original values of organic - transparency, soil health, and farmer-driven accountability - in a system increasingly influenced by industrial interests.https://realorganicproject.org/nicole-dehne-conviction-meets-certification-233The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

The HITRUST 2025 Trust Report sheds light on a critical question organizations continue to ask: can you really rely on a certification to mean what it says? According to Vincent Bennekers, Vice President of Quality, and Bimal Sheth, Executive Vice President of Standards Development and Assurance Operations at HITRUST, the answer comes down to one word: reliability.The conversation highlights how HITRUST goes beyond a simple checklist by layering in both threat intelligence and maturity modeling. Their framework isn't just built on abstract risk—it incorporates real-world attack techniques, aligning controls to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This means that the certification reflects actual adversarial tactics rather than hypothetical risk scenarios.Bennekers shares that 99.41% of HITRUST-certified organizations did not report a breach in the last year, and that consistency over two annual reports points to meaningful outcomes—not just marketing claims. Sheth explains how each certification is reviewed in full by HITRUST, not just sampled, and every control is assessed for maturity—not pass/fail. It's a model that helps companies continuously improve, while also giving relying parties better information.For executive teams and boards, the report surfaces where organizations commonly struggle, including access control, vulnerability management, and third-party risk. It also highlights a growing use of external inheritance—leveraging cloud service providers' security posture—as a strategic move for organizations with tighter budgets.Looking ahead, the conversation points to continuous assurance and the evolving role of AI—both as a source of new risks and a tool to enhance security operations.

Are your current stroke interventions in line with the latest clinical data? Dr. Blaise Baxter, interventional radiologist at Sutter Health, and Dr. Jim Milburn, interventional neuroradiologist at the Ochsner Health, join host Dr. Michael Barraza to discuss the latest advancements in stroke interventions. --- This podcast is supported by: Imperative Carehttps://imperativecare.com/stroke/zoom-stroke-solution/ --- SYNPOSIS The episode begins with a discussion on the different pathways to becoming a neurointerventionalist, emphasizing why interventional radiologists are uniquely equipped for this transition. They dive into cutting-edge stroke interventions, sharing key takeaways from major trials on large core and medium vessel occlusions. Dr. Baxter and Dr. Milburn highlight the HERMES trial, which showed that endovascular thrombectomy led to beneficial effects on patients with anterior circulation occlusion. They then cover the BAOCHE trial, which showed better functional outcomes with thrombectomy over medical therapy. Milburn and Baxter also share their perspectives on the shifting role of perfusion imaging and why the field may be moving beyond it. To close the discussion, the doctors underscore the powerful impact of rehabilitation in driving patient recovery, and stress the ongoing need for innovation and improved training in the field of neurointerventional radiology. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction06:18 - Training and Certification in Neurointervention13:11- Large Core Trials and Their Impact19:42 - CT Perfusion and Treatment Decisions29:45 - Understanding Stroke Scale Scores and ICAD30:31 - Thrombectomy Trials and Treatment Strategies34:48 - Challenges in Randomizing Patients for Trials44:25 - Advancements in Robotics and Stroke Treatment51:37 - Future Directions in Stroke Rehabilitation53:11 - Global Thrombectomy Adoption and Training --- RESOURCES Hermes trial: Goyal M, Menon BK, van Zwam WH, et al.

What is selective bias, and how does it show up in our work as doulas? We all interpret and retain information in ways that align with our pre-existing beliefs, often unknowingly dismissing data that challenges our biases. From interpreting research to making decisions in birth spaces, selective bias can shape the care we provide and can influence the experiences of our clients. As doulas, we have a responsibility to recognize and confront our own biases, especially when it comes to topics like interventions and birth preferences. Are you open to thinking critically about your own biases, considering how they affect your practice, and exploring ways to actively seek out diverse perspectives?  Join us for an honest conversation about learning and growing in our doula practice, and how embracing discomfort can lead to more effective, unbiased support for the families we serve.

This week we talk about the shifting landscape of coffee certifications — particularly the recent changes to the Q grader system. With the program moving under CQI, many coffee professionals are now being told their existing certifications no longer count, and that they'll need to retest under a new system. This sparks a conversation about what certifications really mean in practice. Do they actually make someone better at sourcing or tasting coffee, or are they more about recognition and status within the industry? For seasoned professionals with years of experience, the answer isn't always clear — especially when their day-to-day work remains unchanged by these official titles. We talk about how learned skills typically come not from structured certifications, but from real-world practice. While certifications can offer a shared language and pathway for new professionals, we question whether they should be gatekeepers for credibility. In the end, staying sharp and doing meaningful work comes down to passion, commitment, and community — not just passing a test. It's a reminder that building culture in coffee isn't about following someone else's system, but about knowing your values and living them out.

In this episode of the Third Eye Awakening podcast, I'm sitting down with my friend Colleen Schwarz!Colleen has always felt a deep connection to the unseen—drawn to the supernatural, questioning the nature of existence, and moving through life with the heightened sensitivity of an empath. From a young age, she struggled with feeling different and carrying the weight of depression. Despite years of seeking help through traditional therapy, healing always felt just out of reach.Everything changed in 2023, after the heartbreaking loss of her son. In her search for peace, Colleen experienced a life-altering Akashic Records reading. In that sacred space, she felt seen, held, and profoundly transformed. It was more than healing—it was a homecoming to her soul.That single session brought her more clarity, comfort, and self-remembrance than years of therapy ever had. It ignited a fire within her—a calling to guide others back to the truth of who they are.Now, Colleen is dedicated to helping others remember their light, their worth, and the divine beauty they carry within. She holds space with compassion, wisdom, and the deep knowing that healing is possible, even in our darkest hours.In this episode Colleen and I dive into:-Colleen's spiritual awakening-her journey through grief, struggles with depression & the limitations of traditional therapy- the pivotal Akashic Records reading that provided her with profound healing and clarity-Colleen's pregnancy, birth experience, & frustrations with the medical community's approach to childbirth-connections between souls & maintaining connections with those that have passed…and so much more!CONNECT WITH CHRISTINEIG - @the_herbalist_jewelerIG - @theakashicsistersLINKS MENTIONEDI invite you to join my FREE Akashic Group Journey on July 21st at 5pm ET (replay available if you can't be there live).We're going to go into the Akashic Records together as a group, so you can experience it too.And there will be time for a Q+A afterwards so I can help you with your Akashic blocks.JOIN FOR FREE

Feeling stuck, trapped, or frustrated with yourself? In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Dr. Greg Bottaro unpacks what true interior freedom really means—and why so many of us struggle to experience it. Drawing on Catholic mindfulness, St. John Paul II's rich teaching on human freedom, and years of clinical experience, Dr. Greg breaks open why we do the things we don't want to do, how hidden patterns keep us from the good we desire, and what it actually takes to become who God created us to be. This is an invitation to go deeper than surface-level self-help and begin building the kind of freedom that leads to holiness, health, and real human flourishing.   Key Topics: The difference between capacity for freedom and acting in freedom Why we do the things we don't want to do—and can't do the things we want The subconscious patterns that hijack our choices Moving from automatic habits to conscious, virtuous action How our daily choices shape who we become Learn More: CatholicPsych Mentorship Program: Get one-on-one support for the areas where you feel stuck.
