In this episode of The Health Advocates, Steven Newmark speaks with Ohio State Representative Michele Grim, the only public health professional currently serving in the Ohio legislature. Rep. Grim shares how her background in public health advocacy led her to politics, where she now champions legislation to expand access to care, fight misinformation, and protect vulnerable populations. Together, they dive into the challenges of health policy in today’s polarized environment, and the importance of having voices at the table who understand the system from the inside out.Contact Our HostSteven Newmark, Chief of Policy at GHLF: snewmark@ghlf.orgA podcast episode produced by Ben Blanc, Director, Digital Production and Engagement at GHLF.We want to hear what you think.

Join translator Niloufar Talebi as she talks with Farnaz Fatemi about her new book, Elegies of the Earth: Selected Poems of Ahmad Shamlou, iconic Iranian 20th poet, Ahmad Shamlou, an innovator in Persian poetry and socially conscious writer. Extras: A companion YouTube playlist for this episode, which features original Persian recitations by Ahmad Shamlou alongside English translation readings and interviews about Shamlou by Niloufar Talebi. Fiind it here. Bios: One of the most influential cultural figures of Iran in the latter half of the twentieth century, Ahmad Shamlou (1925–2000) authored more than 70 books, including 18 volumes of poetry. Sometimes known by his pen name, Alef Bamdad, Shamlou's innovations brought on a transition from classical forms to free verse and made him a flag-bearer of the Iranian vanguard, which included the poet Forough Farrokhzad. Shamlou's synthesis of Eastern and Western poetic traditions and high and low styles democratized the literary mode without simplifying it. Championing the “everyman,” Shamlou's work reflects his deep engagement with social issues and the human condition.Niloufar Talebi is an author, educator, producer, and multidisciplinary storyteller whose work spans literature, opera, performance, and cultural translation. Her practice is rooted in reinvention—transforming language and lived experience into art that awakens, stirs, and liberates. Niloufar is the editor and translator of Elegies of the Earth: Selected Poems by Ahmad Shamlou (World Poetry, 2025), a sweeping centennial edition of Iran's iconic twentieth-century poet of liberty, whose work shaped modern Persian poetry. Her memoir Self-Portrait in Bloom (l'Aleph, 2019), praised as “a hybrid wonder” (The Rumpus), combines personal narrative with her award-winning translations of Nobel Prize–nominated Iranian poet Ahmad Shamlou. The book inspired the acclaimed opera Abraham in Flames (2019), which she commissioned, produced, presented, and co-created in collaboration with composer Aleksandra Vrebalov and director Roy Rallo.

The conversation delves into the complexities of end-of-life care, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful training and education in healthcare. It highlights the potential moral injuries that can arise from decisions made in this sensitive area, particularly when medics are tasked with determining the futility of care without adequate resources.TakeawaysThere's a ripple effect from each one of these decisions.We have to be very thoughtful about how we train and educate.Moral injury can result from poor decision-making in healthcare.Medics determining early futility may not have the necessary resources.Championing certain ideas can lead to operational inefficiencies.End-of-life care requires a balance of ethics and practicality.Training should encompass both education and practical skills.Healthcare decisions impact not just patients but the entire system.Moral injury is a significant concern in medical ethics.Operational effectiveness can be compromised by hasty decisions.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Palliative Care in Combat Medicine00:29 Operational Effectiveness vs. Palliative Care MessagingFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠⁠

How did one economist cause the 2008 financial crisis, get hired to fix it, protect his corrupt mate whilst Harvard paid millions in settlements, suggest women might be genetically inferior at science, and still remain one of the most powerful figures in American economics for decades?In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, we explore the spectacular career of Lawrence Henry Summers, the man who failed upwards for nearly five decades, leaving economic destruction, hurt feelings, and dodgy friendships in his wake. This is the story of how brilliant people can be catastrophically wrong about everything whilst sounding extremely clever, and how it all came crashing down in November 2025 when emails revealed he'd been using a high-profile buddy as his personal dating coach.Part one of this epic two-part series covers Larry's rise from golden child to economic disaster architect.The Golden Child: How Larry was born into economics royalty (both parents were economics professors, two uncles won Nobel Prizes) The three-year-old who argued with everyone and drove his mother crazy Writing to his Nobel Prize-winning uncle at age 13 to solve maths problems (the audacity!) Skipping grades, enrolling at MIT at 16, and becoming one of Harvard's youngest tenured professors at 28 Winning every major economics award before age 40 (perhaps a bit too confident)The Clinton Years: How to Deregulate an Economy and Call It Progress: The infamous 1991 "toxic memo" suggesting dumping pollution on poor countries (economics or eugenics with dollar signs?) Championing the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999, removing Depression-era banking protections Crushing Brooksley Born's attempts to regulate financial derivatives Pushing through the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, banning regulation of derivatives (what could go wrong?) His fundamental disagreements with Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, who was actually correct about regulation The Russia disaster: "shock therapy" privatization that created oligarchs, sent poverty from 2% to 40%, and caused a 43% increase in male death rates Why Summers, like most economists, only thought five years ahead instead of 15, 20, or 30 yearsLarry Goes to Harvard (And Everything Goes Wrong Again): Becoming Harvard's 27th President in 2001 and lasting exactly five years (one of the shortest tenures in modern history) The Cornel West affair: calling a renowned philosopher's hip-hop album an "embarrassment" and sparking an exodus to Princeton The Andrei Shleifer scandal: protecting his corrupt protégé from the Russia privatization disaster whilst Harvard paid a record $26.5 million settlement January 2005: suggesting women are underrepresented in science because they don't want to work hard enough and might be genetically inferior (listing discrimination third) MIT biologist Nancy Hopkins feeling physically ill and walking out of his speech The faculty vote of no confidence (218 to 185) and his eventual resignation in February 2006 Why being the smartest person in the room means you should be able to read the bloody roomThis is only part one. In part two, Larry gets to witness the worldwide economic collapse caused by his deregulation policies, gets parachuted in by Obama to help fix the problems he created, and we reveal the massive 2025 scandal that ultimately ruined his already damaged legacy.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Championing a sound intrinsically deep and leaning towards lo-fi dub techno, St. Odes co-founder and Dial Records alum Ben Kaczor stops by to deliver his first ever RYC podcast. Laying down a mix rife with the slo-churning, micro house-esque jams and eerily contemplative boogie that's come to define his style, Kaczor treats us to a two-hour jaunt into a fractured headspace, organic and synthetic at once, inhabited by odd creatures and ghostly silhouettes. Evocative and lush, his mix conjures up the most haunting reverb-drenched melodies and esoteric grooves to shape a uniquely engaging, cinematic voyage. Give in to this slo-evolving buildup of dusty ambiences and falsely serene harmonies, as they teem with the kind of held-in magnetic power and subjugating potential to get any crowd wading in a weird, awry sense of XTC.

Additionally, with the founding of Caroline's Cause, she extends her impact even further, supporting not just those with special needs but the siblings whose contributions are often quietly heroic.

Championing a sound both entrancingly serene and deep-diving, Blazej Malinowski joins us for a two-hour journey across dubbed-out psychedelic folds and straightforward cinematic crescendos he holds the secret to. Through a string of hypnotic releases for the likes of Semantica, The Gods Planet, Kvalia and his own imprint, Inner Tension, the Polish DJ and producer has been minting a sound signature both impeccably fuel-efficient and immersive to the full. Seeking the meditative thrill of sensory entanglement through contrasting dynamic forces and melodic chiaroscuros, Malinowski treats us to a rivetingly evocative outpour of shape-shifting techno epics and sunken, reverb-drenched atmospherics spiraling in and out of focus. Expect a deluge of mazy, claustrophobic 4x4 corridors and further unhindered panoramas of layered, swelling synthesis. Wild.

At just 11 years old, Benjamin Gardner is proving that kindness, creativity, and purpose can spark powerful change. Alongside his dad, Kyle, Benjamin shares how his love for pickleball led to the creation of Stinger Prints—a small business with a big heart. What started as a 3D-printed bag tag has grown into a ripple of generosity supporting the Kansas City Stingers Youth Foundation. Through entrepreneurship, giving, and community, Benjamin reminds us that no one is too young to make a difference and that the best businesses are built with heart.  Key Takeaways:   Kindness and creativity can turn a simple idea into something with lasting community impact.  Giving back creates joy—not just for others, but for yourself.  You're never too young to lead with purpose and make a difference.  Parents play a key role in nurturing curiosity, confidence, and compassion.  The most meaningful success comes from doing what you love and sharing it with others.  About Benjamin Gardner:  Benjamin Gardner is a 5th grader at Brookwood Elementary School. He prefers to go by Benjamin — though some people call him Ben — as he's currently making the switch. He has three sisters and no brothers, and they're all very nice to him.  Benjamin participates in several activities, including choir, volleyball, and band. He's also known for his strong tech skills — his classmates often call him "the techy dude," a nickname he proudly embraces.  He is the owner of a small business called Stinger Prints, inspired by the Kansas City Stingers, the National Pickleball League team of Kansas City. Benjamin's dad plays on the team, which helped spark the connection. Through Stinger Prints, Benjamin 3D-prints pickleball-themed bag tags, such as miniature pickleballs or paddles personalized with names. He sells his creations at SW19 at the stadium during "Stinger Week" and is currently working on launching a website.  Benjamin's business also gives back — 10% of the proceeds made during Stinger Week are donated to the Kansas City Stingers Youth Foundation. In addition, he assists his dad with youth foundation clinics. Occasionally, his sisters help out at his stand when they're looking for something to do.  Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

US Veterans are at a heightened risk for lung cancer due to service-related exposures. Integrating clinical research into routine oncology care at the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) can help bring clinical trials closer to where Veterans live and improve access to cutting edge therapies. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Millie Das, MD, chief of oncology at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System, about the collaborations and institutional support that allowed them to launch lung cancer clinical trials and the role industry has played.     "My primary motivation was just to allow veterans access to trials in the same way that I saw my patients at Stanford have access to clinical trials." - Millie Das, MD   "One of the biggest myths is that you can't work with pharma within the VA and I think just trying to break down some of these old myths was a challenge." - Millie Das, MD     Guest:                  Millie Das, MD Chief, Oncology VA Palo Alto Health Care System Clinical Professor Stanford University Stanford, CA     Additional Reading/Resources   ·      Veterans Care Resource Library ·      Improving Cancer Care for Native American Veterans: A Model of Interagency Collaboration

After 36 weeks of deep theological teaching in Romans, Paul surprises readers by ending with something unexpected: a long list of names. Rather than concluding with more doctrine, he celebrates the real people who served faithfully behind the scenes, carried the gospel forward, and opened their homes for ministry. This final chapter provides a masterclass on championing others instead of seeking personal glory.Paul highlights remarkable individuals like Phoebe, a deacon who likely delivered this theologically rich letter to Rome, and the ministry couple Priscilla and Aquila, who risked their lives for the gospel and turned their home into a church. He mentions faithful servants whose names we barely know but whose contributions were vital to the early church's growth. Paul also warns against division makers who serve their own appetites and use smooth talk to deceive, emphasizing the importance of protecting unity while building others up.The true mark of gospel transformation isn't just saving faith, but the humility that shares the spotlight with others. When grace changes your life, you stop trying to be the hero of your own story and start helping others discover their calling. Paul's example teaches us that mature believers don't just run their own race - they cheer others toward the finish line, recognizing that invisible service doesn't mean insignificant impact.

In this powerful episode from the 2025 MakeMore Manufacturing Summit, host Tom Kindred sits down with Terry Iverson, founder of CHAMPIONNow, a nonprofit organization on a mission to reshape Americans' views of careers in manufacturing. Drawing on 45 years of experience in machine tool distribution and a deep involvement in technical education, Iverson shares why outdated and negative perceptions of manufacturing are hurting our workforce, and what we can do to change it. From dispelling myths about the industry to challenging the “college for all” mindset, Iverson lays out a compelling case for Career and Technical Education (CTE) as a high-value pathway for young people. With hands-on mentorship programs, multimedia campaigns, and a national message of pride in skilled trades, CHAMPIONNow is working to restore manufacturing's rightful place in American culture and economy.

Author Sam Conniff argues that the boldest leaders don't play it safe—they have a strategy for rewriting the rules. This episode explores how pirate-inspired thinking and resolute action can help executives navigate uncertainty, unlock innovation and lead with courage amid change.· Leaders who embrace change as a strategic advantage can outperform peers.· Championing shared values, self-governance and rule-breaking offers a provocative framework for rethinking organizational culture.· Emotional intelligence can be a critical competency for business executives.· Prioritizing the short-term over the long-term can cost organizations capital and credibility.· Leaders should challenge industry “settled” truths to unlock workplace innovation.

Ben Case is part of the Tapestry education team and a former primary and early years teacher. He works closely with settings to support their use of Tapestry and believes tech is only successful if you bring staff with you. As a teacher Ben regularly presented at TeachMeet Sussex and he now helps to host the Tapestry podcast, writes for education publications, and features in many of the Tapestry training videos to support users. He is keen to share actionable insights and foster a positive, confident approach to using technology effectively in early years settings across the UK.Tapestry's annual survey had some interesting findings around the use of AI in the early years; engaging with families; and supporting families with ideas for play at home.More info about the survey: https://tapestry.info/tapestry-early-years-education-survey-2025-what-we-learnt/Tapestry has teamed up with award-winning Playworker Amber – aka Amber Ogunsanya-William – to collaborate on a project championing children's freedom to play. The animation shares Amber's story, and highlights provocations for play at home.https://tapestry.info/let-play-lead-the-day/Takeaways: The importance of centering the child in educational processes cannot be overstated, as their home experiences significantly influence their learning in school. Tapestry facilitates effective two-way communication between educators and parents, enhancing the overall educational experience for children. As AI tools become increasingly prevalent, it is essential to teach children to critically assess the authenticity of the media they encounter. Engaging parents in their child's learning journey is vital, as it fosters a deeper understanding of child development beyond mere participation in school events. The integration of play in education is crucial, enabling children to develop problem-solving skills while maintaining engagement in their learning. AI can be a valuable resource in lesson planning and child activity suggestions, but it should support, rather than replace, the educator's role. https://tapestry.info/https://www.instagram.com/tapestry_fsf/https://www.facebook.com/TapestryLearningJournalhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/eyfsben/Show Sponsor – National Association for Primary Education (NAPE)https://nape.org.uk/Find out more about their Primary First Journal: https://www.educationonfire.com/nape

Seven and a half years ago, a simple question on a cousin's patio changed everything: "How do you stay intentional as a dad?" That moment sparked what became 400 podcast conversations, over 1,000 men mobilized in activation events, and a million dollars raised for ministries serving the fatherless. In this milestone episode, Jeff celebrates by looking back at God's faithfulness, sharing the first-ever preview of the upcoming Dad Awesome book, and highlighting transformational moments from 16 unforgettable conversations that shaped this movement. Takeaways: Milestone moments matter - Pausing to celebrate and shine the spotlight on what God has done builds faith for the journey ahead Small yeses create waves - Dad Awesome wasn't built on one grand gesture but hundreds of small commitments to growth over eight years Intentionality transforms everything - Just like discovering great coffee, small shifts in daily rhythms can revolutionize your entire approach to fatherhood Stories cascade through generations - When dads point to God's goodness consistently, children naturally learn to do the same with their own kids Community accelerates growth - The DA plus three model shows that fatherhood gets exponentially better when you're not doing it alone Generosity reveals faith - Taking steps forward in generosity, whether with time, words, or resources, grows our trust in God's faithfulness Links: Learn about the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word "Dad" to (651) 370-8618 Download a free chapter of the DadAwesome book Clips from 16 DadAwesome Episodes: 25 | Patei Iyegha 38 | Pursuing Shalom, Chasing Dreams & Being All-On-Dad (Paul Hurckman) 77 | Crafting Key Moments, Modeling KINDNESS & Praying with Desperation (Ryan Skoog) 98 | Awaken The Warrior Heart (Pablo Ceron) 137 | Spirit-Filled Parenting, Hearing God's Voice, & Shaping our Kids as Arrows (Seth Dahl) 148 | Andy Crouch - The Tech-Wise Family 187 | Jon Tyson on Skillful Manhood, Capturing First Moments & The Intentional Father 214 | Context, Fainting Goats & Being Secretly Awesome (Bob Goff) 238 | A Place for the Heart (Ken Helser) 250 | Raising Kids Humbly, Loving Your Wife Fully, and Soaring Joyfully (Morgan Snyder) 286 | Parenting for the Third Generation, Building Family Assets, and Championing the Beauty of Fatherhood (Jeremy Pryor) 298 | Dialing In, Leading with Love, and Being the Loudest Voice in Your Child's Ears (Dr. Jackson Drumgoole) 314 | Tackling Fear in a War Zone, Modeling Courage, and Embracing Your True Identity (Jamie Winship) 364 | Bedtime Blessings, Birthday Letters, and 5 Simple but Life-Changing Habits (Justin Whitmel Earley) 375 | Experiential Christianity, Lingering with Jesus, and The War for Your Attention (John Eldredge) 385 | Raising Kids Who Live Generously, Creating Miracle Moments, and the 1% Challenge (Todd Harper)
