    Dark to Light: Media Narratives, Kings Rising, and the Trump–Putin Puzzle

    It's a high-energy Friday on Right on Radio as the host welcomes listeners to the “grand illusion” and sets the table for a sweeping tour through faith, media, and geopolitics. The episode opens with the interactive Word on Word segment, comparing Luke 1:49 with Romans 14:8—listeners overwhelmingly choose Romans 14:8—and a teased clue about the next New Testament book for the returning Sunday Bible study. A dance-inducing outro track is promised to cap the show, complete with another hint for eager Bible-readers. Challenging mainstream and alternative media alike, the host argues that coordinated talking points, sentiment-tracking, and AI-driven feedback loops are used to steer public opinion and prevent unity. The conversation frames current narratives as flexible storylines that are constantly adjusted based on measured dissent, with control—rather than outcomes—presented as the primary objective of the so-called elites. From there, the lens widens to Canada, where the host describes economic decline, internal trade barriers, resource constraints, and growing separatist talk in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Quebec. The discussion then shifts to the UK and Commonwealth, highlighting October timelines for central bank digital currencies, rising public resistance, and the broader struggle between central banking power and the BRICS push toward gold-backed systems. Gold signals, shifting Arctic trade routes (with Canada and Russia as key stakeholders), and an alternative to the Suez chokepoint (the proposed Ben Gurion Canal) are presented as pieces of a fast-changing global chessboard. Turning to Ukraine, the episode outlines the host's view of Russia's red lines—retaining eastern regions, rolling back NATO encroachment, and “de‑nazification”—and the claim that public messaging obscures the real stakes. The much-discussed Trump–Putin meeting is portrayed as pre-scripted, with the true agenda said to involve trade corridors, currency realignment, and dismantling the old power triad of the City of London, the Vatican, and Washington, D.C. A reported threat of a false-flag attack in Kyiv is also mentioned as part of the day's tense backdrop. The episode detours into the UFO debate as it ricochets through Congress and media: “greys,” “Nordics,” “insectoids,” and “reptilians” are reinterpreted through a spiritual lens, with the host framing them as angelic or demonic manifestations rather than extraterrestrials. This leads into a prophetic thread on the rise of “ten kings,” a brief transfer of power, and the emergence of the Antichrist—tying scriptural expectations to contemporary events and symbols, including the meeting location dubbed “Q1” on 17th Street. Throughout, the host emphasizes keeping faith centered: do not look to politicians for salvation, trust God's sovereignty, and weigh unfolding events against Scripture. Community notes include a Saturday night prayer call on Telegram and a lighthearted household saga featuring a soot-covered dog, a stubborn squirrel, and a reluctant fireplace. The show closes with a Joe Bonamassa track—“Love Ain't a Love Song”—and a final nudge for listeners to guess the next Bible study book. No guest joins this episode; instead, it's a spirited solo deep-dive with real-time audience participation, weaving together media critique, geopolitics, spiritual warfare, and practical faith.

    Why are people inclined to believe misinformation? Misguided: Where Misinformation Starts, How It Spreads, and What to Do about It (Columbia UP, 2025) is a wide-ranging and comprehensive book that shines a light on how false beliefs take root and spread, exploring the cognitive, emotional, and social factors that make us all susceptible to misinformation. Challenging approaches that focus solely on education and media literacy, Matthew Facciani emphasizes the important role identities and social ties have in the complex interplay of forces that lead people to believe things that are not true. Susceptibility to misinformation is largely shaped by social dynamics. The pressure to affirm one's personal and group identities can leave individuals vulnerable to false beliefs.  Facciani examines both offline and online connections, highlighting how social media, news media, and personal networks can promote and amplify false claims. To bring social-scientific findings to life, he shares the stories of people who fell for misinformation, with contemporary examples including the COVID-19 pandemic and anti-vaccine movement. Facciani examines the effectiveness of various approaches to combating misinformation, underscoring the importance of understanding the psychological and sociological mechanisms behind its spread. He provides actionable recommendations for reducing the influence of misinformation at all levels, from having productive conversations with friends and family to rebuilding trust in institutions.

    In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes David Altman, MD, dermatologist at Midwest Center of Dermatology in Warren, MI, to review recent case studies that highlight unexpected presentations, treatment responses, and immune system interplay in dermatology. The first case focuses on a 34-year-old patient with severe, recalcitrant Hailey-Hailey disease. After multiple failed therapies, including antibiotics, corticosteroids, apremilast, and low-dose naltrexone, she achieved near-complete clearance within 12 weeks on dupilumab. Drs Altman and Del Rosso share their thoughts on why a drug targeting type 2 inflammation might be effective in a condition traditionally considered structural, drawing parallels to reports in Darier disease. Next, the conversation shifts to an unusual immune response observed in a patient with well-controlled psoriasis on IL-17 inhibitors who developed widespread atopic dermatitis. Dr Altman describes this as a “cytokine shift,” where suppression of IL-17 may upregulate IL-4 pathways, mirroring the reverse effect sometimes seen with IL-4 inhibition. While uncommon, such effects are now recognized in prescribing information, and the patient improved after transitioning to a broader-acting JAK inhibitor (upadacitinib). In the final case, a patient with Crohn's disease developed rapidly progressing alopecia areata while on infliximab. Switching to tofacitinib improved hair growth but worsened gastrointestinal symptoms. Following colectomy, both the Crohn's disease and alopecia resolved, highlighting the role of systemic inflammation in driving skin disease. Tune in to the full episode to hear more about these unique cases, the underlying immunologic mechanisms, and how lessons from complex cases can inform everyday dermatologic practice.

    Challenging the outdated assumptions about who gives and how in fundraising, research has found that women are not only more generous than men, but they also give differently, diversely, and collaboratively. In this week's episode, we break down the myths and misconceptions about women donors and examine the importance of relationship-building, storytelling, and recognition. Women seem to redefine philanthropy from giving across various causes to wanting deeper engagement beyond just writing a check.  Jacqueline Ackerman is the interim director of the Women's Philanthropy Institute at Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. The institute believes that gender matters in philanthropy and that perspective, leadership, and generosity are required from women and men in solving the world's complex problems. After joining the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy in 2012, she has grown her career supporting and leading research on various aspects of charitable giving. Jackie enjoys developing relationships and using her knowledge and experience to deliver research with real-world applications. She brings a deep expertise in women donors, gendered giving trends, and the evolving role of women in nonprofit leadership. She joined us today to talk about how to shift your strategies, build authentic relationships, and tap into the real power of women's generosity.  In this episode, you will be able to: - Discover the myths and misconceptions about working with women donors. - Learn about the importance of relationship-based philanthropy. - Learn about the seven Ts of philanthropy. - Discover why it's important to keep a continuous communication with the donors.  Get all the resources from today's episode here.  Support for this show is brought to you by iDonate!  Their donor-first giving suite, including mobile pop-ups, A/B testing, recurring prompts, makes it easy to convert more donors, faster.

    In this episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, host Peter Harris sits down with Rex Salisbury, solo GP of Cambrian and former fintech partner at Andreessen Horowitz, for an in-depth conversation about the ongoing transformation of financial services. Rex shares his unique journey from investment banking to leading one of fintech's most dynamic pre-seed and seed funds, explaining how decades of inefficiency in banking have finally given way to a wave of disruptive innovation.The discussion explores recent shifts in the fintech landscape, highlighting how new fintech companies, once dismissed as serving only niche or low-value customers, are now directly competing with and winning market share from the largest legacy banks. Rex points to the rise of digital-first platforms like Robinhood and Wealthfront, which started by serving overlooked users but have evolved into sophisticated competitors for the millennial and Gen Z wealth transfer.Peter and Rex examine why B2B fintech is an especially powerful force, with vertical software companies like Toast integrating lending, payroll, and banking into a single platform that businesses can't imagine leaving for traditional banks. Rex also tackles the myth of banks' cost-of-capital advantage, arguing that technology and changing consumer expectations are steadily eroding long-held bank moats.Beyond consumer trends, the episode ventures into the investment landscape, with Rex sharing lessons from recent Cambrian investments, such as companies revolutionizing transfer agents and simplifying business shutdowns. The conversation also addresses the role of crypto and stablecoins in reshaping payment and banking infrastructure, where Rex differentiates between international and U.S. use cases but remains optimistic about crypto's role as a catalyst for industry change.Rex closes with actionable advice for aspiring founders and operators: seek out dense talent networks, work in growth-stage companies, and always surround yourself with people who teach you. The episode captures the underlying message that, as technology, business models, and capital flows shift, fintech is only just beginning to threaten incumbents and capture its share of the financial future.Follow the PodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/venturecapitalfm/Twitter: https://twitter.com/vcpodcastfmLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/venturecapitalfm/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7BQimY8NJ6cr617lqtRr7N?si=ftylo2qHQiCgmT9dfloD_g&nd=1&dlsi=7b868f1b72094351Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/venture-capital/id1575351789Website: https://www.venturecapital.fm/Follow Jon BradshawLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrbradshaw/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjonbradshaw/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrjonbradshawFollow Peter HarrisLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterharris1Twitter: https://twitter.com/thevcstudentInstagram: https://instagram.com/shodanpeteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@peterharris2812

    Send us a textCould a simple apricot seed hold the key to preventing and addressing cancer? John Richardson believes so, and he's carrying forward a 60-year family legacy that's been systematically suppressed by medical authorities.Richardson reveals the shocking story of how his father, a medical doctor, was repeatedly jailed and had his practice raided for helping thousands of patients overcome cancer using natural methods. The reason? He promoted Laetrile (vitamin B17) and other natural approaches that threatened the trillion-dollar cancer industry.What makes this conversation truly groundbreaking is Richardson's explanation of cancer as a metabolic deficiency disease—not something you catch or inherit genetically. He presents compelling evidence about the Hunza people who live well beyond 100 years while consuming up to 200 apricot seeds daily, and points to recent NIH studies confirming that amygdalin (found in apricot seeds) causes cancer cell death.The landscape is changing rapidly. Richardson shares how forward-thinking doctors are achieving remarkable results with cancer patients using Laetrile injections, ozone therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen—addressing cancer's vulnerability in low-oxygen environments. He also highlights a new medical school funded by a Walton family member that focuses 80% of its curriculum on nutritional approaches to disease rather than pharmaceutical interventions.This isn't just about cancer—it's about reclaiming control over our health in an age of medical dogma.

    This episode is brought to you by the ⁠⁠⁠Primal Tallow Balms⁠⁠⁠.Dr Kendrick emphasizes the lack of scientific evidence linking high cholesterol to heart disease and argues that a higher fat diet can have positive effects on health. The discussion also covers the complexities of LDL cholesterol, the importance of understanding various health markers, and the potential effects of adopting a high-fat diet. In this conversation, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick discusses the complexities of heart health, focusing on the role of blood clots, the impact of diet on cardiovascular health, and the misconceptions surrounding cholesterol and statins. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the glycocalyx and its protective role in blood vessels, the benefits of a high-fat diet, and the potential for plaque regression. Kendrick also critiques the use of statins, arguing that their benefits are often overstated and come with significant side effects. Takeaways* Cholesterol is often misunderstood in relation to heart disease.* Changing medical opinions is challenging due to entrenched beliefs.* High-fat diets can have positive health impacts.* LDL cholesterol is often mischaracterized as harmful.* The relationship between dietary fat and heart health is complex.* Markers like triglycerides and HDL are important for assessing heart health.* Insulin resistance is a key factor in heart disease risk.* The disease process in arteries can take decades to develop.* LDL levels can be influenced by carbohydrate intake, not just fat.* Understanding the nuances of cholesterol can empower patients. Blood clots form on artery walls and can lead to heart disease.* A high-fat diet can improve blood sugar levels and overall health.* The glycocalyx is crucial for protecting blood vessels from damage.* Diabetes damages the glycocalyx, increasing heart disease risk.* A 30-day high-fat diet can lead to significant health improvements.* Stopping the progression of plaque is more important than regression.* Statins may increase nitric oxide but have many adverse effects.* The average increase in life expectancy from statins is minimal.* Challenging your doctor about statin use can be beneficial.* Understanding the true causes of heart disease is essential for prevention.

    He once burned with hatred for Israel. Now, he's rebuilding bridges from Nazareth to Jerusalem, from Arabs to Jews, and from division to divine reconciliation. In this riveting episode, Dr. Rev. Saleem Shalash shares his extraordinary journey - raised as a Catholic Arab in Israel, hardened by bitterness, and unexpectedly wrecked by grace. A tragic accident. A voice from heaven. A Bible in his hands for the first time. But this isn't just a personal conversion story - it's a call to the Church, to the nations, and to anyone willing to see beyond headlines and into the heart of God.  From confronting replacement theology to launching a humanitarian aid center that serves Jews and Arabs alike, Saleem is living proof that Jesus is still building bridges. Key Takeaways Identity with Depth: Saleem is an Arab Israeli believer - not a convert from Islam, but a lifelong Christian navigating complex identities in the land of Israel. A Tragic Catalyst: The death of a friend forces a deep spiritual reckoning, leading to a radical encounter with God. From Religion to Relationship: His path led through doctrine, but it was mercy that truly changed him. The Eldest Son Syndrome: A powerful revelation from the story of the Prodigal Son unveils a common spiritual pride within the Church. Hatred Healed by the Spirit: A supernatural moment in prayer replaces years of hatred for the Jewish people with overwhelming love. Jesus in the Old Testament: Saleem rediscovers his Bible, this time finding Yeshua in every chapter - from Genesis to Malachi. Bridge Builders in Action: Through Home of Jesus the King Church, he brings food, aid, and the gospel to Arabs, Jews, refugees, and Muslims alike. Challenging the Church: A strong rebuke to Western Christianity for turning from God's promises to Israel. Cultural Keys: How understanding ancient Jewish culture unlocks deeper meaning in Scripture.

    Many artists feel their work is too dark, too ugly or challenging to sell. As someone who has sold paintings of infamous murderers, photographs of a drag queen dressed up as Van Gogh, missing ear and all, a portrait of a man mid ugly cry, a drawing made from fake tan and a sculpture of a dying lamp post with a flickering light, Ceri politely calls bulls**t on that belief. KEY TAKEAWAYS Artists are often the worst judges of their own saleability. If you've softened, reshaped or avoided making something out of fear it won't sell, stop - you're probably wrong. Don´t 2nd guess the market. Markets shift, don´t chase the trend. You attract people by making work that feels true to you and bringing people into it, not the other way round. Pour your energy into being in alignment with the people who see you, who light up at your work. BEST MOMENTS “If your gut´s telling you not to compromise, to stick with the hard stuff, the weird stuff, the work that gnaws at you, then don't bend.” “Sometimes that impossible to sell work ends up in a Miami collection, gets a residency and boom, everyone wants one. The art market isn't run on logic or formulas. It runs on story. ” “If you're making feminist witchy art with plaster cast body parts, gold cobwebs and a death metal soundtrack, you don't need the approval of a minimalist, leaning septuagenarian collector. He's not your guy” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci.

    Send us a textWhat if everything you thought you knew about God's kingdom was incomplete? Challenging conventional end-times theology, this conversation dives deep into the transfiguration account where Peter, James, and John witnessed Christ in His glory alongside Moses and Elijah.The heart of this discussion centers on a seemingly simple question: What did the disciples actually see on that mountain? Was it merely a vision or something more? Through careful examination of scripture, we discover they experienced something simultaneously visionary and absolutely real—they genuinely encountered Moses and Elijah in glorified form, made accessible through divine means. This powerful revelation demonstrates how spiritual realities can intersect with our physical world.When Jesus promised some disciples wouldn't taste death until they saw "the Son of Man coming in His kingdom," He wasn't speaking of some distant future event. The transfiguration fulfilled this promise, revealing that Christ's kingdom wasn't exclusively future but breaking into present reality. This understanding confronts popular dispensationalist theology that fragments God's redemptive timeline and pushes the kingdom into a future millennial reign.Scripture tells us we've already been "translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son." We're not passive observers awaiting a future kingdom but active participants in its present advancement. As the "church militant," we're engaged in spiritual warfare against the kingdom of darkness while Christ progressively subdues all enemies, with death as the final enemy to be conquered.Are you ready to embrace this present kingdom reality? How might your faith change if you truly understood you're not waiting for God's kingdom—you're already in it? Listen now and discover how the transfiguration reveals Christ's kingdom in ways that will transform your understanding of scripture and your place in God's redemptive plan.Support the show

    Welcome to another episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast, hosted by Pat Iyer, where we dive into the fascinating intersection of healthcare, law, and business. In this episode, Pat sits down with Karyn Buxman—registered nurse, neuro humorist, and global speaker—who brings a fresh and uplifting perspective on handling stress, burnout, and conflict through the power of humor. Karyn, known for her infectious enthusiasm and deep expertise, shares insights from her journey through the high-adrenaline landscapes of nursing, academia, and professional speaking. Together, Pat and Karyn explore the critical role humor plays in managing the darker and more challenging aspects of health care and legal nurse consulting. Drawing from her research and years of experience, Karyn explains how laughter and reframing can help us navigate stressful situations, whether it's dealing with traumatic events in the ER or confronting difficult conversations with clients and attorneys. She introduces concepts such as “neuro humorism” and discusses the brain science behind humor, offering strategies for de-escalating tense interactions and maintaining resilience. This episode isn't just about laughter—it's about practical tools for fostering creativity, building trust, and making positive choices in the face of adversity. Karyn and Pat discuss improv principles, effective communication techniques like “Yes, and…,” and the SCARE model for understanding brain threats. Filled with relatable stories, actionable advice, and plenty of laughs, this session of the Legal Nurse Podcast will leave you feeling equipped to bring more humor—and health—into your work and life. What you'll learn in this episode on Why Humor Is a Critical Tool for Nurses in Challenging Situations You'll get the answers to these questions: What is a "neuro humorist" and how can understanding the intersection of humor and the brain benefit nurses and legal nurse consultants? How does humor help healthcare professionals—and specifically nurses—cope with stress, burnout, and high-pressure situations? What are the potential risks and benefits of using humor, including sarcasm, in challenging or emotionally charged professional interactions? How can techniques like improv and the SCARF (or SCARE) model be applied to de-escalate tense conversations with clients, particularly attorneys?

    Send us a textWhat do you do when your massive mastiff mix - described as "half grizzly bear, half donkey" - turns into a reactive nightmare? For Alice, the journey with Bonnie began with serious doubts about whether she could provide a forever home for such a challenging dog.Most small reactive dogs get labeled "cute" despite their behaviour. But for Bonnie, a large brindle mix with impressive strength, her reactive episodes weren't just embarrassing - they triggered public concern about dangerous dogs. Alice needed solutions that worked in real-world situations, not just controlled environments.The transformation came through three key concepts: calmness, disengagement, and optimism. Alice shares the three specific games from Absolute Dogs' Games Club that fundamentally changed her relationship with Bonnie and Bonnie's relationship with the world. Figure of Eight created meditative, smooth movement patterns that calmed Bonnie's jerky anxiety.Orientation Game provided crucial "pulse checks" before off-lead adventures, allowing Alice to assess Bonnie's mental state in any environment. Finally, Disengagement Pattern and Rewind gave both dog and owner muscle memory for redirecting attention away from triggers.Perhaps most powerful is Alice's candid admission that these games didn't just modify behaviour - they saved Bonnie's home. "There was probably several months where Chris and I sort of felt like, can we do this? Can we maintain a forever home for Bonnie?" Today, Alice speaks with confidence about advocating for her dog and creating an environment where both can thrive. Their relationship has transformed from struggle to partnership, proving that even the most challenging dogs can become calm companions with the right approach.Want to experience a similar transformation with your dog?

    On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Tony Reed—a longtime marathoner, accomplished CPA, grandfather, and passionate advocate for healthier communities. Tony shares his journey that initially began with a childhood diagnosis of pre-diabetes and grew into a lifelong commitment to fitness. He discusses how running not only changed his own life, helping him avoid diabetes, and chronic disease, but also inspired him to support others, particularly within the African American community, through education and community-building. Tony details the beginning of the National Black Marathoners Association, the myths they aim to dispel, and the training and sustainability programs they've launched over the past 20 years. He also talked about the organization's impact—including producing documentaries and creating a nationwide network of running clubs—and offers solid advice for anyone looking to balance a demanding career with a purpose-driven mission. Whether you're a runner, a club owner, or an advocate for healthier, more inclusive communities, Tony's story and insights are absolutely worth your time! When it comes to starting up clubs, Reed states, "We've encouraged our members to get their coaching certifications either through the Roadrunners Club of America or USA Track and Field. Then once they get their certifications, for example, they could partner with a health club, and within that health club, they can actually have a distance running club." Key themes discussed Diabetes prevention and health through running. Overcoming myths about African Americans in distance running. Founding and mission of Black Marathoners Association. Importance of education, training, and sustainability. Partnerships with health clubs and coaches. Inspirational stories and role models in running. A few key takeaways:  1. Personal Health Journey as a Catalyst Tony was pre-diabetic as a child and was told he'd likely need insulin as a teen. Instead, through consistent physical activity, inspired by mandatory sports in school and Dr. Kenneth Cooper's book "Aerobics," Tony committed to a lifelong goal—averaging three miles a day. Decades later, he's run over 51,000 miles and never needed insulin. 2. Turning Personal Motivation into Community Impact Tony's health transformation and running achievements led him to create a formal organization aimed at getting African Americans more involved in distance running. Sparked by community interest when he neared his 50th marathon, he turned his personal discipline into a mission and movement, focusing on education, training, and sustainability. 3. Dispelling Myths and Creating Representation One of the association's core pillars is education: Challenging the myths that African Americans are only sprinters and not suited to distance running. Tony and his organization have produced documentaries to showcase role models and share inspirational stories within the community. 4. Building Partnerships and Running Communities The organization actively encourages members to get certified as running coaches and set up local running clubs—sometimes in partnership with health clubs. They provide role models, resource sharing, and opportunities to affiliate local clubs with the wider movement, enhancing retention and engagement in health clubs by helping members train toward collective race goals. 5. Impact and Legacy Tony's organization is a non-profit with free membership and has directly or indirectly influenced over a quarter million African Americans to get active. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the association continues to grow, foster community, and provide platforms (like their annual summit) for sharing ideas and expanding their impact.

Mark breaks down how recent legislative changes stripping the $200 tax stamp render the NFA unconstitutional, sparking a legal battle led by gun rights groups. The trio dive into the ongoing debate about the ATF's role, expressing skepticism about its future and concerns over its power under different administrations. The conversation touches on gun culture shifts, social media's impact, and the absurdity of gun-related restrictions, all with a light-hearted tone sprinkled with ideas like gun vending machines and claw machines.

    Challenging the geographical narrative of the history of Islam, Chiara Formichi's new book Islam and Asia: A History (Cambridge University Press, 2020), helps us to rethink how we tell the story of Islam and the lived expressions of Muslims without privileging certain linguistic, cultural, and geographic realities. Focusing on themes of reform, political Islamism, Sufism, gender, as well as a rich array of material culture (such as sacred spaces and art), the book maps the development of Islam in Asia, such as in Kashmir, Indonesia, Malaysia, and China. It considers both transnational and transregional ebbs and flows that have defined the expansion and institutionalization of Islam in Asia, while attending to factors such as ethnicity, linguistic identity and even food cultures as important realities that have informed the translation of Islam into new regions. It is the “convergence and conversation” between the “local” and “foreign” or better yet between the theoretical notions of “centre” and “periphery” of Islam and Muslim societies that are dismantled in the book, defying any notions of Asian expressions of Islam as a “derivative reality.” The book is accessibly written and will be extremely useful in any undergraduate or graduate courses on Islam, Islam in Asia, or political Islam. The book will also be of interest to those who work on Islamic Studies and Asia Studies. Shobhana Xavier is an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Queen's University.

    Ever wondered what it's like to work with a coach who refuses to sugarcoat the truth? In this episode, we sit down with Paul Glover, the self-proclaimed "No B.S. Executive Leadership Coach" who's built his practice on brutal honesty and genuine results."I'm not going to try to convince you," Paul tells us about his approach to potential clients. "If what we've done up to this point doesn't convince you, then you need to find somebody else." It's this refreshing directness that sets the tone for our entire conversation about what real leadership development looks like.From discussing why empathy is a skill set that can be learned to exploring why human psychology hasn't changed since Marcus Aurelius was complaining about the Roman Senate (Camden's words: "complaining about going to work because the people in the Senate are assholes"), Paul shares insights from his unique journey as an ex-white-collar felon and "recovering" federal trial lawyer.Whether you're looking for a leadership coach or trying to become a better leader yourself, Paul's perspective on the exchange of energy in coaching relationships and why critical thinking is a learnable skill will challenge you to rethink what growth requires.

    Today we have our good friend and colleague Dr. Andrew Koutnik on the show. Andrew is a research scientist who studies the influence of nutrition and metabolism on health, disease and performance. He specializes in Type 1 diabetes and works with a wide range of people to improve their metabolic health and athletic performance. Andrew is a visiting research scientist at IHMC and has worked with Harvard, Johns Hopkins, NASA, and the Department of Defense to develop evidence-based strategies for overcoming complex health challenges. He is a graduate of Florida State University and earned his Ph.D. in medical sciences at the University of South Florida, where he worked with another good friend of ours, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, who has been a previous STEM-Talk guest. Show notes: [00:02:50] Dawn welcomes Andrew to the show and asks him about his website, andrewkoutnik.com, the quote on the site's homepage “Demystifying complex science to help you thrive in your health journey,” and the tagline “Challenging the status quo of metabolic health, human performance, and the management of type1 diabetes.” [00:05:31] Ken asks Andrew how old he was when he first learned he had Type 1 diabetes. [00:08:32] Dawn asks why Andrew believes his Type 1 diabetes is one of his life's ultimate assets? [00:12:51] Ken mentions that Andrew grew up in Tallahassee and that despite suffering from childhood obesity, he was relatively athletic as a child. Ken asks Andrew to talk about his childhood. [00:14:20] Dawn asks Andrew to talk about the weight-loss journey he underwent as a teenager. [00:17:25] Dawn shifts gears to ask Andrew about how he got into science, mentioning that when he was younger, he never saw himself becoming a scientist. [00:20:19] Dawn asks if it is true that Andrew was the sort of kid who would constantly asked questions. [00:22:11] Dawn asks Andrew if it is true that after enrolling at Tallahassee Community College, it took him a while to decide on his major. [00:22:58] Ken asks Andrew to talk about the impact that his undergraduate anatomy and physiology class and professor had on his journey. [00:24:44] Ken mentions that after graduating from FSU, Andrew went to the University of South Florida where he worked with Dominic D'Agostino, who is both a previous STEM-Talk guest and a current colleague of Andrew's. Ken asks Andrew how he met Dom. [00:27:46] Dawn asks Andrew how he came to work in Dom's lab. [00:29:00] Dawn asks Andrew if his wife is still in touch with her former roommate, who connected Andrew and Dom. [00:29:21] Ken asks Andrew to touch on some of the research he did with Dom while he was pursuing his Ph.D. [00:31:49] Dawn shifts gears to talk about Andrew's work in metabolic health and Type 1 diabetes. Dawn explains that a study published by the University of North Carolina found only 12 percent of Americans were metabolically healthy. Additionally, researchers from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University found in 2022 that only 6.8 percent of Americans had good cardiometabolic health. Dawn asks Andrew how he works with people who want to improve their metabolic health. [00:34:19] Ken asks Andrew for his thoughts on the sentiment that a ketogenic diet is hard to sustain. [00:36:55] Ken mentions that  Andrew was part of a review that looked at carbohydrate restriction for diabetes, which is a practice that had been in use since the 1700s. It fell out of favor once insulin was discovered in the 1920s. Ken goes on to explain that carbohydrate restrictive diets, like the ketogenic diet, have regained popularity for the treatment and management of diabetes, weight-loss and a range of other health issues such as migraines, cancer and depression. Ken asks Andrew to first explain the history of carb-restrictive diets as a treatment of diabetes. [00:39:43] Ken asks Andrew to talk more about the aforementioned 2021 review and its argument...
