Bennett's grandfather, Paul D. Bennett, established a registered cow herd in 1944, and the family transitioned the farm from a typical southside-Virginia tobacco, livestock and crop farm to a beef seedstock operation in the 1980s. Today, Knoll Crest is operated by the team of brothers — Jim, Brian and Paul — along with Paul's nephew, Dalton.

Is modern air travel just a psychological experiment to see when we'll snap? ✈️ This week, we are airing all the grievances on the ultimate travel and society rant.First, a quick recap of a Denver work trip (the mountains hit, the lack of humidity did not), before we dive headfirst into the lawless wasteland of the airline industry.We're talking the downfall of Spirit Airlines, overhead bin wars, seating price-gouging, and the pure trauma of the middle seat. Oh, and calls on a place via WI-FI.. yes or no? But the madness doesn't stop at the terminal. We're tackling the complete collapse of public decorum—from terrifying driving habits and road rage to people who use speakerphones in public (and seriously, keep your shoes on the plane). Plus, we get into some heavy, thought-provoking territory, breaking down justice system flaws, jail prep coaching, and the real PTSD risks for flight crews.Secure your tray table and join us for a no-holds-barred reality check packed with our signature chaotic humor!Listen now and join the conversation!

Show notes:This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Chloe Lansdowne, Head of Marketing at Hitched, to chat about what couples are really looking for when they search for wedding suppliers online.We talk about why great photos and clear, detailed listings matter so much when it comes to attracting the right enquiries, and how couples are making decisions in a world where they're constantly overwhelmed with choice. Chloe shares some brilliant insight into how wedding businesses can stand out by building trust, showing personality and creating an emotional connection through their marketing. We also dive into how platforms like Hitched can help boost visibility, what makes a supplier profile actually work, and the small changes that can make a big difference to the quality of leads you receive.HitchedHitched - InstagramTime stamps:00:39 - Introduction to Wedding Marketing Strategies01:00 - Introduction to Wedding Marketing and Planning12:19 - Navigating Vendor Relationships in Wedding Planning14:55 - The Importance of Niche Marketing in the Wedding Industry23:52 - The Changing Landscape of Wedding Vendor Marketing26:14 - Understanding the Importance of Listings in Wedding Vendor Success34:25 - Vendor Visibility and Marketing Strategies37:49 - Navigating Communication and Avoiding Ghosting46:02 - The Fast-Paced World of MarketingMentioned in this episode:The TikTok Pro Course is back this June!Has Tiktok been on your to do list for a while?

It's Been 10 Years Since Losing Max to Testicular CancerEpisode SummaryIn this special episode, host Joyce Lofstrom is joined by the entire team behind the Max Mallory Foundation: Max's dad, Chuck Mallory (Treasurer), and son, John-Mark Mallory (Executive Director). Together, they reflect on a poignant marker of time: the upcoming 10th anniversary of losing Max to testicular cancer in May 2016. The family discusses the foundation's evolution since its start in 2017, its impactful scholarship partnership with Max's alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and how the "Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer" podcast serves as a cornerstone of outreach. They also dive into critical modern issues surrounding testicular cancer advocacy, including the gaping void in mental health resources for young survivors and how a new generation uses social media and AI to process medical fears. Episode Timeline & Chapters[00:00:00] – IntroductionWelcome to the podcast and introduction of the Max Mallory Foundation board members: Joyce, Chuck, and John-Mark. [00:01:45] – Reflecting on the 10-Year MarkerThe family shares what is on their minds as they approach a decade without Max, the surreal nature of passing time, and how sibling grief and parental healing change over a decade. [00:03:45] – Chuck's Writing & Healing JourneyChuck shares a personal update on emotionally processing his grief and his current efforts to write about his years with Max. [00:07:15] – The Roots of the Max Mallory FoundationThe family formally established the private family foundation in 2017 to carry on Max's legacy. [00:08:45] – Honoring Max Through Media Arts & The MAGD ScholarshipA look at the foundation's scholarship program and funding for the Media Arts and Game Development (MAGD) festival at UW-Whitewater. They discuss the use of game design for educational cancer journeys. [00:11:15] – Milestones of the Podcast & The Mental Health GapCelebrating nearly 80 live episodes and identifying a critical gap in cancer care: why the medical community frequently overlooks the psychological and mental health needs of young cancer survivors. [00:14:50] – The Changing Landscape of Advocacy & Social MediaHow the 20-to-30 age demographic uses Reddit, AI, and social media to express medical anxiety. The family addresses why outreach must pivot from traditional school visits to digital spaces. [00:18:00] – Overcoming the Stigma of Men's HealthA discussion on why young men delay going to the doctor out of fear, a lack of preventative screening advice from pediatricians, and learning from the success of breast cancer awareness campaigns. [00:21:30] – Looking Ahead to the Next 10 YearsFinal thoughts from Joyce, Chuck, and John-Mark on carrying forward Max's mantra: "Never give up."  Key Takeaways from This EpisodeGrief is a Marker, Not a Milestone: Passing a decade without a loved one isn't a traditional milestone to celebrate, but rather a profound marker of time to celebrate a life well-lived. Mental Health is Part of Survivorship: Medical teams excel at testing numbers and treating tumors, but there remains a massive systemic gap in checking on a survivor's mental health post-treatment. Advocacy Must Meet Youth Where They Are: Young men today turn to online forums like Reddit or AI tools rather than their immediate circles when processing potential cancer symptoms. Awareness campaigns must actively occupy these digital spaces. Break the Silence Early: Pediatricians and parents need to explicitly normalize testicular self-exams for young men around ages 12 and 13 to catch anomalies early and strip away the fear-induced stigma of seeking help. Connect & SupportVisit Our Website: Max Mallory Foundation  Listen to Past Episodes: Catch up on our library of 80+ episodes featuring survivors, caregivers, and leading cancer researchers. Make a Donation: Support the MAGD Scholarship and our ongoing testicular cancer awareness initiatives by clicking here. Subscribe: Please subscribe to Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer on your favorite podcast directory so you never miss an episode!  Send us Fan MailSupport the showFind us on Twitter,  Instagram,  Facebook  &  Linkedin.

Welcome to episode #1035 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when marketers have more data, more technology and more precision than ever before… consumer trust, attention and loyalty somehow feel more fragile than ever. Few people are exploring that paradox more deeply than MichaelAaron Flicker. An entrepreneur who started his company at just fourteen years old, Michael has spent years studying the intersection of marketing, behavioral science and human decision-making (he runs an agency, vventure capital firm and leads several other businesses). His book, Hacking The Human Mind - The Behavioral Science Secrets Behind 17 Of The World's Best Brands (along with co-author Richard Shotton), examines how brands shape perception, influence behavior and build emotional resonance… often in ways consumers barely recognize. In this conversation, Michael and I explore the growing divide inside modern marketing itself… between performance-driven optimization and the enduring power of emotional storytelling. We unpack how AI, algorithms and recommendation systems are quietly reshaping consumer agency, why the illusion of choice may be more powerful than choice itself, and how platforms increasingly mediate not just what we buy… but how we think. Michael (who also has a great podcast, The Consumer Behavior Lab) argues that while technology has evolved dramatically, human behavior has not. Scarcity, status, social proof, storytelling and emotional connection still shape our decisions… even when we believe we're acting rationally. We also discuss the dangerous temptation for marketers to chase short-term metrics while neglecting the deeper work of building lasting brand value, trust and cultural meaning. Along the way, we get into Amazon's invisible persuasion architecture, why many direct-to-consumer brands plateau, the ethical tension between persuasion and manipulation, and how AI may transform marketing from an art form into an escalating behavioral arms race. What emerges is a fascinating conversation about power, psychology and the increasingly intimate systems shaping modern commerce… and whether brands still truly understand the humans they're trying to reach.

In this episode, Joel and JT break down the seismic shifts rocking the industry, from a massive restructuring wave hitting giants like Meta, Disney, and Snap to the high-profile leadership exits at JobCase and SeekOut. With over 80,000 tech layoffs already this year, we explore why VCs are now hunting for distressed assets and how companies are desperately pivoting toward AI to survive. We also dive into how Gen Z is navigating this "Darwinian" job market by ditching traditional networking for startup hustles, skilled trades, and a surprising return to "analog culture." The conversation takes a futuristic turn as we examine the rise of the machines—from Russia's robot-led battlefield losses to China's marathon-running humanoids and the expansion of Tesla's RoboTaxis. Finally, we look at the "Art Washing" of LinkedIn, where stars like Grimes and top NFL prospects are trading stages and stadiums for B2B brand deals and AI tech ventures. Whether it's the death of the traditional music industry or the birth of low-casualty robot warfare, this episode covers the rapid evolution of how we work, fight, and build brands.

In an age dominated by streaming platforms, social media algorithms, and a constant flow of digital entertainment, it might seem unlikely that a series about the life of Jesus would become one of the most talked‑about global media phenomena of the past decade. Yet that is precisely what has happened with The Chosen, the multi‑season television drama created by Dallas Jenkins. What began as a modest, crowdfunded project has grown into an international cultural movement that is reshaping how biblical stories are presented in modern media. As Easter approaches each year—a season centered on the death and resurrection of Christ—the impact of The Chosen becomes even more meaningful. The series not only retells the Gospel story but also invites audiences to rediscover its humanity, relevance, and emotional depth in a way that resonates across generations and cultures.

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Travis Prentice, CIO of Informed Momentum Company, to break down what he's seeing beneath the surface of today's market—and where capital is actually flowing next. We dive into the concept of “Informed Momentum,” where price meets fundamentals, and why a faster, more disciplined approach is critical in a market increasingly driven by AI, infrastructure, and a shift back to the physical economy. Travis shares why breadth matters more than ever in capturing outsized winners, how to spot high-quality momentum versus noise, and why microcaps—after a long stretch of underperformance—may be setting up for a meaningful turn. This is a conversation focused on process, discipline, and staying aligned with what the market is doing—not what you think it should do. We mention several companies and sectors during this conversation, and I'm not a shareholder in any of them.  For more information about Informed Momentum Company, please visit: https://www.informedmomentum.com/  Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to Planet Micro Cap 02:33 Evolving Momentum Strategies 05:31 The Importance of Breadth in Momentum 07:21 Current Momentum Trends in Micro Caps 09:27 Understanding Momentum vs. Narrative 13:56 Challenges of Momentum in Micro Caps 16:22 AI and Structural Shifts in the Market 20:21 Comparing Current Changes to Past Disruptions 23:02 The Changing Landscape of Private Equity and Credit 28:18 Momentum Strategies in Micro Cap Investing 38:31 Navigating Trends and Exits in Momentum Investing Planet Microcap hosts the highest quality in-person microcap events in North America.

Continuing with part 2 of this series, Alison goes deeper into her ongoing journey within the health and fitness realm, specifically reflecting on her training regimen and its evolution over time. In this episode Alison aims to provide a behind-the-scenes look at her practices while remaining transparent about her process.As the fitness landscape shifts, the traditional notions of intense workout regimens are being challenged by a variety of new trends, particularly in boutique fitness. Although traditional workouts undeniably deliver results, the current consumer environment can be overwhelming, leading many to start and stop various programs—a pattern Alison repeatedly sees as "yo-yo exercising." The essence of this episode emphasizes a return to basics and how maintaining consistency with fundamental movements can yield better long-term results.Alison candidly discusses the internal struggles we all face regarding motivation and the misconception that workouts should always be enjoyable or entertaining. As someone who has dedicated her career to health and fitness, she confesses that even on days when her enthusiasm wanes, she recognizes the importance of her fitness routine as a non-negotiable component of her life.Alison shares her personal commitments, particularly since entering her 50s, and how her mindset toward training has changed. Embracing the reality of aging, she's become increasingly aware of how her routines need to adapt. Factors like recovery, intensity, and structured training are now fundamental aspects of her fitness approach. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing our body's capability to become more efficient through strength training and how intensity can significantly impact our metabolic processes.Alison also touches on the significance of finding a training program conducive to longevity and overall health—as well as the common misconception that comfortable exercise suffices as an adequate fitness strategy. Instead, she challenges listeners to consider the necessity of both intense workouts and moderate activities to achieve a holistic approach to fitness.HIGHLIGHTS:1:44 The Changing Landscape of Fitness6:24 My Personal Fitness Journey16:04 The Importance of Structure16:57 Navigating Age and Fitness28:56 Hormonal Balance and Exercise30:55 The Myth of Busy Schedules34:18 Finding Balance in Training37:23 Key Tips for Effective Trainingmentioned in episodeDr. Jade Teta: https://www.jadeteta.comDr. Stacy Sims: https://www.drstacysims.comSam Miller: https://sammillerscience.comMADabolic fitness: https://madabolic.comSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024 ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution

In this episode of PEM Currents: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast, we take a structured, evidence-based approach to the acute treatment of migraine in children and adolescents. From confirming the diagnosis and screening for concerning features to optimizing outpatient therapy and executing a protocolized emergency department strategy, this episode walks through what works. We review the role of NSAIDs and triptans, clarify how IV fluids and ketorolac fit into care, and provide a stepwise framework for dopamine antagonists, valproate bridge therapy, DHE protocols, steroids, discharge planning, and admission decisions. Practical dosing, reassessment timing, and family-centered communication strategies are emphasized throughout. Learning Objectives Recognize the clinical features of pediatric migraine and distinguish it from secondary causes of headache. Implement a stepwise, evidence-based emergency department approach to acute pediatric migraine, including appropriate medication selection and timing of reassessment. Develop safe discharge and follow-up plans by defining treatment endpoints, minimizing medication overuse, and identifying patients who require referral or inpatient management. References 1.

And today we're gonna talk about the acute treatment of migraine headache in children and adolescents. This is bread and butter for the PED, requires precise diagnosis and evidence-based treatment. We're gonna talk about making that diagnosis, red flags, outpatient and ED treatment, as well as some second-line agents, admission decisions, and a whole lot more. So migraine in children is defined by three criteria, and at least five attacks lasting two to 72 hours. So you gotta have at least two of the following: pulsating or throbbing quality, moderate to severe intensity, aggravation by routine activity, and a unilateral location. Although in children, it's often bilateral, plus at least one of nausea or vomiting and photophobia and/or phonophobia. In children headaches are frequently bilateral, bifrontal, bitemporal. The duration might be shorter than adults, especially in kids under second or third grade. And you may have to infer whether or not they have photophobia from their behavior. Like does the child close their eyes or wanna go into a dark room? In the emergency department, we're often diagnosing based on pattern recognition plus exclusion of dangerous secondary causes. Or even more often than that, the patient comes in and says, I've got a migraine. Before I move on to treatments, let's talk about some red flags where you might wanna pause and not just jump to migraine therapy. And the mnemonic SNOOP can be helpful here. And it stands for S for systemic symptoms such as fevers, myalgia, weight loss, or another S, secondary risk factors such as an immune deficiency, cancer, pregnancy, N for neurologic signs, papilledema, focal deficit, confusion, seizures. O onset sudden, or thunderclap. Migraines are often a little more gradual than that. The other O is older age, or technically younger age too, younger than five years or older than 50. Hopefully those patients are not coming into the pediatric emergency department. And then pattern changes, these new symptoms in a previously stable pattern. Don't ignore that. And precipitants, you know, is it worse with Valsalva, position change, or under significant exertion? If these signs are present, you'll probably wanna take a pause and just not throw migraine treatment at the patient. If they're stable, MRI is the preferred imaging modality, but a very sick patient, it'd be okay to get a head CT. If you've got a normal neurologic exam, there's no red flags. Again, you don't need routine imaging for migraine headaches. So let's talk about treatment. So hopefully patients have actually started to treat their headache before they arrive in the emergency department. If they haven't, it's a good idea to have some triage protocols in place. So ibuprofen, 7.5 to 10 milligrams per kilogram, 10 milligrams per kilogram is superior to placebo and it's superior to acetaminophen at two hours. So that's what we would use. Early treatment's critical. So ideally within the first hour of onset. So that's why triage protocols help. We'll give kids 10 mg per kg of ibuprofen and like 30 ounces of Gatorade. Blue is often the first Gatorade choice, though that's not an evidence-based statement. You can also use naproxen, but most of the studies are on ibuprofen. If NSAIDs fail, many adolescents and some older children will be prescribed triptans. The best evidence currently supports sumatriptan plus naproxen or zolmitriptan nasal spray. Rizatriptan is FDA approved down to age six. Adolescents respond to these agents better than younger children, and the route matters. The nasal formulations help when nausea is prominent. Families should be counseled to treat early, use weight-appropriate dosing, and avoid using acute medications more than 10 days per month. Often patients will have already taken an NSAID and a triptan before they get to the ED, and that's where we get into the treatment of refractory migraine. Now this is most of the patients that I will see, and before we push medications, let's briefly review ED treatment goals. You either want the patient headache free. Back to their baseline or mild descending pain. So a pain score of one to three. If you don't reach one of those endpoints and it's not agreed upon with the patient and their family, you've not completed treatments. You should do a reassessment within one hour after each intervention. And let's face it, if you're not reassessing within an hour and defining treatment goals, you're not practicing protocolized migraine care. So in the emergency department, many of you may be familiar with the migraine cocktail. So what is that? In general, it's a dopaminergic agent such as prochlorperazine or metoclopramide plus ketorolac, plus IV fluids. Let's take a look at all three of those components and see if you can guess which one is actually the one that can abort the migraine. So fluids are commonly given in pediatric migraine, but they alone do not treat it. They're helpful. Many patients have been throwing up or a bit dehydrated, but there are small randomized trials that show essentially no meaningful pain reduction in patients that get IV fluids alone. Well, what about ketorolac? Toradol, like that's the first thing you give to a kid with a kidney stone, right? It does help, but it's really adjunctive. So the main first-line agents for refractory or status migrainosus in the emergency department are the dopamine antagonists, and the first-line treatment for most patients is prochlorperazine or Compazine. The dose is 0.15 milligram per kilogram IV. The max is 10 milligrams. This is the backbone of ED migraine care. And why do they work? Well, migraines aren't just some random vascular headache. This is an inherited disorder with central pain pathways gone awry. Dopamine plays a large role in that pain, nausea, hypersensitivity, amplification of symptoms and more that, frankly, I won't get into this podcast because molecules hurt my head. The dopamine antagonists treat the headache, they reduce the nausea, and they just tamp down this process. Overall, the response rates approach 85%. Some studies have suggested that the response rate is about 77% at an hour and 90% at three hours. If you add the ketorolac and IV fluids, you get your response rate up to about 93 to 94%. These agents really do work well together. There have been randomized trials comparing IV prochlorperazine versus ketorolac. 85% of prochlorperazine patients achieved headache relief versus only 55% of ketorolac patients. So ketorolac helps, but really it's the prochlorperazine. Metoclopramide, or Reglan, is used in a lot of centers as well. There are some smaller studies in children and adolescents that show that prochlorperazine is more effective, but if kids have an adverse reaction, more on that in a moment, or they prefer metoclopramide because they've responded to it in the past, it's okay to go with it as well. Right. So what does it actually look like when you give the migraine cocktail to a patient? I think it's important to explain to patients and families what to expect, and if this is a teenager, I'm talking to them directly. I mean, they're getting the medication first and foremost. I tell them that the most effective way to treat their headache is with an IV. This often causes lots of angst, even in older teenagers. The medication just does not get to the brain as effectively and fast enough if you take it by mouth. Many patients who get the dopaminergic agents, so prochlorperazine, will invariably feel jittery or anxious or like they gotta move or like they got ants in their pants. I tell them to expect this so they're not surprised and worried when it happens. I tell them that once they start feeling that way, it means the medicine is probably working. They need to hit the nurse button and we're gonna get them up and have them take a walk. This fixes it for the majority of patients just getting up and moving. In adult centers, even with the initial administration of the prochlorperazine or as sort of a reflexive response to any of those symptoms, they just give a slug of IV Benadryl. There's some studies in adolescents especially that this may decrease the effectiveness of the IV agents you're giving in the first place, and it may also increase return rates to the ED. So I will use IV diphenhydramine if getting up and moving around isn't working, or if the distress is significant, or if the patient clearly indicates they've needed it in the past. So if after the migraine cocktail, the patient has met their pain goals and the reassessment is favorable, they can go home to outpatient follow-up. How about if the headache got better, but not all the way? It's usually when the initial migraine cocktail didn't achieve the pain endpoints fully, like it helped partially. If the dopamine blockade didn't do anything, valproate is unlikely to rescue the case. And so valproate works on GABA and it stabilizes some of these pain processes, but the dopaminergic agent needs to have done something first for valproate to work. Per the most common protocol, you give an initial dose of IV valproate, then you discharge the patient home on Depakote ER. So oral valproic acid under 10 years old or under 50 kilograms, 250 milligrams PO twice a day for two weeks, or older than 10 or greater than 50 kilos, 500 milligrams twice a day for two weeks. This is the extended release and it's most helpful if you give the first oral dose in the emergency department. So that's why it's very important to build this protocol in advance. If you don't have IV valproate, then don't just give the patient oral valproate, and definitely don't prescribe an oral course for discharge. All right, well, what about DHE? Dihydroergotamine for refractory or status migrainosus? Generally, this is only given at pediatric centers where you have neurology coverage. It's contraindicated if you've had another dose of DHE within 14 days, or you've had any triptan of any sort within 24 hours, and you must obtain a pregnancy test in adolescent females before giving it. The dosing for less than 30 kilograms is 0.5 milligram. At least 30 kilograms is one milligram. You give 50% of the dose over three minutes, then the remaining 50% over 30 minutes. If this is gonna work, the patients are gonna start feeling wretched at first. They're gonna get very nauseous and they're gonna vomit. They're gonna have flushing, and you'll see transient hypertension. Most of that resolves within the hour in most centers. If you're committing to DHE, you're kind of bringing the patient into the hospital anyway, though some facilities will have DHE done in the emergency department with close outpatient follow-up. Either way, it's really best practice to involve child neurology if you're giving DHE. Alright, well what about steroids? They give those in grownups too, right? Steroids really only have a role for recurrence prevention in children. So for kids that have a history of returning within 72 hours for rebound headache, you can give dexamethasone 0.6 milligram per kilogram IV dose, the max of 10 milligrams. You do not discharge them home on a steroid prescription or a Medrol dose pack or something else, and this can cut the recurrence risk down a bit. There's other therapies out there like magnesium and ketamine. There's just not enough evidence there. And the purpose of this episode is to discuss the therapies that have good evidence behind them and should be part of protocols across the country. Some patients are unfortunately not responsive to emergency department therapy and need admission. The main inpatient therapy is the DHE protocol. If they're not DHE eligible, they haven't tolerated it well or it's unavailable, admission's unlikely to help them unless they just need some IV fluids to help them get back up on their feet. You should consult neurology if the headache goals are not met after maximizing ED therapy for advice. And we should definitely avoid opioids. They don't treat patients with migraines. They increase recurrence risk. They increase revisit rates. Again, the dopamine antagonist prochlorperazine, it's superior for sustained relief when families ask about them, and fortunately they're asking about opioids far less. We use medications that treat the migraine pain pathways and signaling. We don't just wanna mask the pain. All right, so that's all I've got on the acute management of migraine headaches, especially in the emergency department. Remember that migraine care in the ED should be protocolized and evidence-based. IV fluids are supportive. Prochlorperazine is the first line, or you can use metoclopramide as well. Ketorolac is an adjunctive therapy. Valproate is next line. If you've gotta escalate, and DHE is specialized therapy, you can start in the ED, but most of these patients are getting admitted. Dexamethasone or steroids in children can reduce recurrence risk, but they're not really part of the acute management. You should definitely define the endpoints and structurally and systematically reassess patients at an hour. The goal is to get them feeling better to a defined endpoint and to restore function. There is evidence-based pediatric emergency migraine care. You should understand that, plus how to explain why these agents are being given and some of the side effects to patients and families. I find that that approach increases your likelihood of buy-in and success. Alright, so that's it for this episode on the Acute Management of Migraine Headaches in Children and Adolescents. I hope you found it helpful and I can pretty much guarantee that you're gonna see a patient with a migraine on your next shift. If you've got any feedback or comments, send them my way.

"Because the premise of immune checkpoint blockade centers around elevating the immune function, we should always take a great deal of caution around those patients who have high immune risks. Those include patients with autoimmune disorders. That's one of our biggest questions that we ask, usually every consult that we're seeing with solid tumor. 'Do you have any history of autoimmune disorders? Tell me a little bit more about it. Is it being treated? What are your symptoms like?' And then also patients who have undergone organ transplants. Now, interestingly, this does include stem cell transplants," Kelsey Finch, PharmD, BCOP, oncology pharmacist practitioner at Columbus Regional Health in Indiana, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about checkpoint inhibitors.

Highlights From This Episode "Before immune checkpoint blockade, the two-year overall survival rate in metastatic melanoma was hovering around 10%. After these agents came to market, depending on the trial and the agents used, that number actually increased to about 50%–65%. So, five times the amount of patients were actually living at the two-year mark. Not surprisingly, studies then exploded across several tumor types, leading to approvals in all sorts of cancers, mostly in the solid tumor. But there are a couple hematologic as well. Lung cancer, kidney cancer, head and neck, Hodgkin lymphoma, hepatocellular, the list goes on. So, it's really just transforming the stage IV setting across all tumors, specifically from uniformly fatal prognosis to one where durable responses and long-term survival is also possible." TS 3:03 "There are four different mechanisms officially being used in therapies that are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Those are cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated protein 4, programmed cell death protein 1, and programmed cell death ligand 1, which I'm counting as two different mechanisms, even though they somewhat work together. And lymphocyte-activation gene 3 is the fourth one that's in there. So, all these mechanisms impact the T cell in our immune system. The T cell is traditionally responsible for protecting our body from harmful things like bacteria, viruses, and cancer. When the tumor binds to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated protein 4 receptors, that happens on the T cell itself. And that inhibits the activation of the T cells, essentially allowing that tumor to then live. So when developing medications that block this receptor, they noted an added benefit that it actually increased the T-cell proliferation as well as keeping that T cell active. So not only are we not blocking the T cells, we're making them more productive." TS 5:38  "If you have a chance of any sort of tissue rejection, specifically with allogeneic stem cell transplants or where we see that focusing on it, there's a little bit of controversy, mixed bag on opinions as far as autologous stem cell transplants. But it's best to at least exercise a little bit of caution. If they have a chance of organ rejection, is that worth the risk of the therapy that we're looking to give? And then, patients with HIV, any sort of immunologic concerns at baseline that we could potentially worsen." TS 14:37 "As a rule of thumb, with immune checkpoint blockade, regardless of what mechanism you're looking at, if something in your body can get inflamed, that can wind up as an adverse event. So, whenever I talk to my patients, the key word is anything ending in '-itis.' ... The most common adverse events that we end up seeing are dermatitis and hypothyroidism. Immune checkpoint blockade can cause both hyper- and hypothyroidism. Very often, we actually start in the hyper- and then end up, for lack of better words, burning out the thyroid, ultimately leading to a sustained hypothyroidism." TS 18:34 "The half-life of immune checkpoint inhibitors is usually around 30 days, meaning that once these agents are given, the drug will be in the patient's system for up to five months. Specifically, it will probably build month to month, so often we don't even see a lot of our adverse events until month three or four. Usually, when we're that far into treatment, we're not looking for new adverse events in things like chemotherapy. But these drugs do build over time." TS 24:28 "As far as safe handling is concerned, these agents are not chemotherapy. That makes drug compounding and administration pretty straightforward. When looking at the follow-up care, the most important thing, in my opinion, is to engage in meaningful dialogue with your patients. A lot of the side effects can be nonspecific. So, really listening to the patient and evaluating changes in their lifestyle, I think it'll get you far. We usually hark in on the new, worsening, or persistent whenever we're talking to patients because they'll be looking for things as well. So, just having a dialogue of how their life has changed can certainly help." TS 26:17

[12:28] When the 17th ranked university in the country says, “I am interested in recruiting you to play high-level sports at the Group of Five,” which, by the way, we sit on an island in that, and I think we need to lean into this further...

Bradley and LA Williams tackle one of the biggest threats to dealership growth heading into 2026… staff retention and leadership breakdowns! "Losers allow their emotions to dictate their actions, but winners choose which emotion to use to get the desired result." - LA Williams Dealerships are spending more money than ever recruiting, hiring, and onboarding… only to lose good people faster than they can replace them. Sean and LA break down why the old dealership playbook is no longer working, what today's salespeople and BDC professionals actually value, and how leadership habits inside the store are either building loyalty, or pushing talent out the door. "If your best people don't see a future with you, they'll build one somewhere else." - Sean V. Bradley They also explore how modern tools like AI and automation are changing the market, but why technology alone won't fix a culture problem. This episode shines a light on the leadership mistakes that quietly create turnover, the importance of real training beyond basic sales tactics, and what it takes to create a dealership environment where top performers actually want to stay.

Don't miss out on LA's NADA Session on Feb. 5th at 12:30 PM PST in Las Vegas!     Boosting Dealership Performance in 2026: Mastering Employee Retention and Leadership Key Takeaways Employee retention is more about leadership and culture than recruitment. Effective training that encompasses skill, professional, and personal development is crucial. Social proof through online reviews significantly impacts recruitment and retention success. In the rapidly evolving automotive industry of 2026, dealerships are challenged not only to attract but also keep quality workers amidst technological and cultural shifts. As laid bare in a candid discussion from the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, industry veterans Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams delve into the core problem areas and present innovative strategies for car dealerships. They assert that solving retention issues boils down to fortifying leadership, improving workplace culture, and ensuring clear communication. The Changing Landscape of Recruitment and Retention A New Era of Employee Expectations Today's employees desire more than just financial compensation; they seek transparency, flexibility, and a positive workplace environment. Bradley emphasizes, "Employees value time flexibility and transparency, especially the younger generation. They won't tolerate a toxic culture." As such, dealerships need to adapt their recruitment strategies and workplace conditions to align with these expectations. This means offering not just monetary incentives, but valuing employees' time, ensuring work-life balance, and recognizing individual achievements. This shift reflects broader workplace trends where employees are increasingly unafraid to leave unsatisfactory jobs for better opportunities. Building an All-Inclusive Training Strategy Comprehensive training is the backbone of employee satisfaction and retention. Bradley illustrates the importance of multi-faceted development by saying, "If you're not training them on product knowledge, on the road to the sale, on Internet sales… you're not doing enough." Today's sales landscape demands more than traditional selling skills; it requires proficiency in CRM systems, social media, and AI technologies. By setting a high standard and providing adequate resources and training, dealerships can create an empowered workforce capable of exceeding sales goals. Culture and Leadership: The Heart of Employee Retention Nurturing a Positive Workplace Culture Workplace culture is the invisible force that significantly influences employee retention. Williams and Bradley highlight how recognition and respectful treatment can transform workplace morale. Bradley candidly shares, "Happy employees equal happy customers." When employees feel valued and recognized, their dedication and loyalty grow, which in turn positively influences customer experiences. To foster such a culture, dealerships should focus on team-building and personal development alongside professional growth. Celebrating personal milestones and achievements through social media or team meetings fosters a sense of community and belonging. Providing emotional and practical support not just ensures employee well-being but results in enhanced performance and customer satisfaction. Fixing Leadership Gaps to Drive Success A crucial step in improving employee retention is addressing leadership deficiencies. As Williams asserts, "Top salespeople don't automatically make great leaders… Leadership development is paramount." Promoting based purely on sales success can lead to leadership gaps; instead, focus should be on developing comprehensive management skills amongst promising employees. Managers should embrace roles that include mentorship and coaching, striving for emotional intelligence, and delivering fair criticism in a constructive manner. Regular one-on-ones and feedback sessions should be structured not just for performance reviews, but for mutual growth and progression. Creating clear career paths for every role reflects a transparent approach, ensuring employees see their future potential within the company. Reputation, Social Proof, and Retention The Power of Social Proof Through Online Reputation In today's digital landscape, online reviews extend beyond customer opinions and into employment evaluations. Many dealerships remain unaware of how platforms like Glassdoor and Indeed are crucial in shaping perceptions of potential hires. Bradley stresses the importance of these review sites, stating, "People research your store before they apply." Negative employment reviews can deter top talent from joining a dealership. Proactively managing these reviews can enhance a dealership's appeal, suggesting a focus on reputation management alongside customer service. Positive employment reviews reinforce trust and attract quality candidates, ultimately aiding in achieving retention goals and enhancing overall dealership reputation. Aligning Brand and Employment Messaging The alignment of external brand communication with internal employee experience creates a strong market position and fosters employee loyalty. Bradley champions this by advocating for consistent positive messaging on dealership social media, celebrating employee milestones and achievements. This tactic not only strengthens workforce morale but also attracts potential employees by spotlighting a vibrant, supportive workplace culture. Intertwining these aspects — adopting modern recruitment practices, refining leadership qualities, and enhancing online reputation — sets a solid foundation for enduring success amidst the complexities of 2026. Following the Buick slogan "When better automobiles are built, Buick will build them," progressive dealerships will attract and retain top-tier talent by building better workplaces first. The future belongs to dealerships that not only adapt to change but forge change, beginning within their own ranks.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

AI's Impact on Nonprofit Visibility and the Changing Landscape of Foundation Support This week's episode of the Nonprofit Newsfeed, the hosts delve into the evolving dynamics of AI's influence on nonprofit visibility and the current state of foundation support. Main Topics: AI's Knowledge Windows and Nonprofit Visibility: George and Nick discuss a new beta feature from OpenAI's ChatGPT called "knowledge windows." This feature presents information about organizations directly within the AI interface, potentially reducing website traffic as users get essential details without needing to visit the source. This development could significantly alter how nonprofits engage with potential donors and supporters, as AI becomes the gatekeeper of information. Foundation Support and Nonprofit Perception Gap: A report from the Center for Effective Philanthropy highlights a significant perception gap between foundations and nonprofits. While 93% of foundation leaders believe they understand grantee challenges, only 54% of nonprofits agree. The report also notes that foundation responses have weakened post-COVID, despite increased demand for nonprofit services.

On this episode of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams recaps a packed weekend across golf — highlighted by Justin Rose adding another milestone win as he continues to pile up victories on the PGA Tour (now 23 career PGA Tour wins) and proving that elite golf in your 40s is still very real.Then, Lucas Glover — a U.S. Open champion and six-time PGA Tour winner — joins to discuss what it takes to stay competitive through the ups and downs, why today's rising players look more “ready” than ever, and how TGL has exceeded expectations — including what makes Billy Horschel such a perfect fit for the format.The conversation also dives into Scottie Scheffler and what stands out most from inside the ropes: humility, consistency, and a “Ben Hogan-esque” style of dominance — plus how (and whether) it's fair to contextualize this run alongside Tiger Woods.Later, Gary reacts to the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions being shortened to 54 holes, featuring comments from Nelly Korda after her win — the 16th of her LPGA career.The show closes with a tribute to Scott Davenport — longtime head professional at Quail Hollow Club — and the impact he made on the game and everyone around him.0:00 Opening Thoughts2:20 Winners of the Weekend3:15 Farmers Insurance Open Recap 4:35 Justin Rose's impressive win and career 13:55 Lucas Glover 33:23 Looking back at LPGA's First Event43:55 Honoring Scott Davenport5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and PGA TOUR Radio on SiriusXM (Channel 92)FOLLOW 5 Clubs: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/5clubsgolf/X: https://x.com/5ClubsGolf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/5ClubsGolf/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@5clubsgolf
