What's the key to thriving in the workplace? According to The Six Types of Working Genius by Patrick Lencioni, it's more than just doing a good job. Working Genius is a powerful tool for understanding ourselves and how we work with others. It helps us discover the stages of work that bring joy and fulfillment—and the ones that leave us feeling drained or burned out.In today's exchange, Doug Bradle, Nussbaum's Chief Operations Officer and certified Working Genius coach, unpacks the six stages of work:• Wonder – asking the big questions and imagining what could be.• Invention – creating brand-new solutions from scratch.• Discernment – evaluating and improving ideas with insight.• Galvanizing – rallying people and generating momentum.• Enablement – jumping in to help and provide practical support.• Tenacity – grit to push things across the finish line.The Working Genius Assessment identifies two areas of Genius—your natural gifts that bring energy and joy. It also reveals two Competencies—things you're capable of doing and don't mind—and two Frustrations—things you aren't good at and naturally drain you. Using real-world examples, Doug shares how this framework can transform hiring decisions, team culture, and even how we relate to family and community. At its core, Working Genius helps us better understand what we want from our work—and what those around us want, too.Press play to learn more!FROM TODAY'S PODCAST• Guest: Doug Bradle, Chief Operations Officer at Nussbaum • Learn more about The Six Types of Working Genius at workinggenius.com. • Take the AssessmentLET'S CONNECT• Visit us online at terminalexchange.org • Follow The Terminal Exchange on social media! • Facebook• Instagram • XABOUT NUSSBAUM Employee-Owned, Purpose Driven | Nussbaum is an industry-leader in over-the-road freight transportation.

Ever wondered why it's so hard to get people to care about cybersecurity before disaster strikes? Joshua Wathen has a theory—and it might sound familiar to anyone who's tried to convince someone to buy insurance.In this conversation with Cam and Otis (plus a surprise appearance from thunder rolling in the Houston sky), Joshua shares his journey from Special Forces Weapons Sergeant to COO of Triad Info Sec. "We are of service to the people that are our customers, to each other, to our families," he explains, revealing the core value that drives his approach to both team building and cybersecurity.From his practical approach to hiring (where he roots out BS during interviews) to his spot-on comparison between cybersecurity and gun ownership ("if you don't understand it, you're not likely to invest in it until you get mugged"), Joshua offers refreshingly straightforward insights about protection in the digital age.Whether you're building a team, running a business, or just trying to figure out if your company needs better digital security, Joshua's blend of military precision and entrepreneurial wisdom offers a perspective you won't want to miss.More About Josh:I am Joshua Wathen, the Chief Operations Officer of Triad Info Sec, the owner of Dux Fortis Consulting and a member of the Board of Advisors for Owners In Honor.  I have chosen to help build these entities because they are Veteran Owned and help others with service and security, both physically and digitally.  My work is not a necessity at this point in my life. It is a calling. I am a US Army veteran and hold qualifications as a Special Forces Weapons Sergeant, a Special Operations Combat Medic, and an Airborne Infantryman. In that time, I learned that shiny medals are awarded for dark days done well, that people are more important than equipment, and most importantly, that your values are what make you who you are. Since leaving the military, I have become a serial entrepreneur, a husband, and a father.  I have built several businesses in different industries and helped grow many different veteran service organizations ranging from PTSD treatment to business development for transitioning veterans.  My value to any organization is that I am a team builder and a super connector.  There is nothing more powerful than putting driven, capable, and like-minded people in a room with a problem to solve.#10xYourTeam #CybersecurityMindset #FromSpecialForcesToCyberForce #ServiceOverSelf #DigitalDefenseDoneRight #TeamBeforeTech #HardTruthsSoftSkills #CyberPreparedNotScared #MissionDrivenLeadership #SecureYourFuture #EntrepreneurWithPurposeChapter Times and Titles:The Quiet Professional (With Thunder) [00:00 - 03:58]Introduction to Joshua WathenHouston storms making their presence knownInitial banter and setupFrom "Helping a Buddy" to Full Partnership [03:58 - 14:34]Joshua's journey into Triad Info SecThe progression from consultant to partnerBuilding on veteran connections"We Are of Service" [14:34 - 25:00]Defining the core cultural valueHow Joshua roots out cultural mismatches in interviewsBuilding teams that put others firstThe Cybersecurity Challenge [25:00 - 35:00]Why most people don't care about digital protectionThe "bag of dirt" approach to winning warsMaking technical concepts accessibleWhen Monday Comes and Everything's Frozen [35:00 - 47:45]Real stories of companies being hackedThe aftermath of ransomware attacksWhy prevention matters more than recoveryThe Second Amendment Parallel [47:45 - 55:00]"It's very similar to the gun culture"Why people don't invest until after they're victimsBuilding awareness before disaster strikesResources and Closing [55:00 - End]Joshua as the "informal concierge for veteran everything."How to connect

Nick Oldham is the Chief Operations Officer, USIS, and Global Chief Risk, Privacy and Compliance Officer at Equifax Inc. A forward-thinking legal and operations executive, Nick has a proven track record of driving large-scale transformations by integrating legal expertise with strategic operational leadership. He oversees all enterprise-wide second-line functions, leading initiatives to embed AI, enable data-driven decision-making, and deliver innovative, compliant solutions across a $1.9B business unit. His focus is on building efficient, scalable systems that align with both compliance standards and long-term strategic goals. In this episode… Many companies are rushing to adopt AI tools without adequately training their workforce on how to use them responsibly. As AI becomes embedded in daily business operations, the biggest risk isn't the technology itself, but the lack of human understanding around how AI works and what it can do. When teams struggle to understand the differences between machine learning and generative AI, it creates risks and makes it harder to establish appropriate privacy and security guardrails. Human training is AI's greatest weakness and strength, and closing that gap involves rethinking how companies educate and train employees at every level.  The responsible use of AI depends on human judgment. Companies need to embed privacy education, critical thinking, and AI risk awareness into training programs from the start. Employees should be taught how to ask questions, evaluate model behavior, and recognize when personal information is being misused. AI literacy should also extend beyond the workplace. Introducing it in high school or even earlier helps prepare future professionals to navigate complex AI tools and make thoughtful, responsible decisions. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Nick Oldham, Chief Operations Officer, USIS, and Global Chief Risk, Privacy and Compliance Officer at Equifax, about the role of human training in AI literacy. Nick breaks down the components of AI literacy, explains why everyone needs a foundational understanding, and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing privacy awareness when using AI tools. He also highlights ways to embed privacy and security into AI governance programs and provides actionable steps organizations can take to strengthen AI literacy across teams.

n this episode of Psychedelics Today, kicking of Psychedelic Science 2025 week in Denver, we sit down with Jonathan Dicksinson, Chief Executive Officer, and Trevor Millar, Chief Operations Officer of Ambio Life Sciences – one of the world's leading ibogaine clinics – to explore the potential of ibogaine for addiction, neuroregeneration, and how ethics, honoring experience, and sustainability will be key to delivering ibogaine at scale.  Trevor shares his early work supporting marginalized populations in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, which led to the founding of Liberty Root, one of Canada's first ibogaine clinics. Jonathan reflects on his apprenticeship in Mexican clinics, years of international advocacy with the Global Ibogaine Therapy Alliance, and drafting the first set of clinical guidelines for ibogaine detoxification. Together with paramedic and ibogaine safety protocols expert Jose Inzunza, they co-founded Ambio in Tijuana in 2021. They discuss: The unique safety standards Ambio has pioneered – including industry-wide clinical protocols and magnesium therapy to mitigate cardiac risk. Their scale: over 3,000 patients treated, with 100+ clients per month across five dedicated houses in Baja California. Ambio's groundbreaking neuroregenerative program for Parkinson's, MS, and traumatic brain injury – which has already drawn patients like Brett Favre and Clay Walker. How ibogaine appears to drive profound physiological change – including evidence of TBI reversal as shown in Stanford's 2024 study on Special Forces veterans. Why ibogaine isn't just a molecule – it opens a long-lasting “critical period” of neuroplasticity that must be supported with preparation, integration, and holistic care. The deeper story of sourcing: through his company Terragnosis, Jonathan is the only person with a legal export license for Tabernanthe iboga from Gabon, and Ambio is setting a precedent for reciprocal and ethical global supply chains. Their cautionary perspective on Texas' $50M push toward ibogaine clinical trials – and why the traditional “one drug, one indication” model misses the complexity and promise of psychedelic healing. They also make a compelling case that Ambio is already modeling what the future of psychedelic care should look like – not a single drug in a sterile clinical setting, but a comprehensive, integrated protocol combining preparation, medical oversight, and deep integration. “Start with the end in mind,” Trevor urges – Ambio isn't just part of the movement; it's the blueprint for how ibogaine could be delivered worldwide.

One of the world's leading experts on ibogaine, Jonathan brings over 15 years of experience in clinical care, traditional practice, and psychedelic research to his leadership at Ambio. A Mexico-licensed psychologist and former Executive Director of the Global Ibogaine Therapy Alliance, he authored the field's foundational safety guidelines and has published widely on ibogaine's therapeutic, cultural, and ecological significance. He holds the only active export license for Tabernanthe iboga root, led the first Nagoya-compliant export from Gabon, and was initiated into the Dissoumba/Fang tradition of Bwiti in 2014 and the Missoko tradition in 2022. He has co-authored peer-reviewed research on ibogaine's potential for trauma, TBI, pain, MS, and Parkinson's. At Ambio, he leads strategy, research, and innovation – advancing a globally scalable model of care that bridges tradition, science, and integrity. Trevor Millar is the Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Ambio Life Sciences. A social entrepreneur and pioneer in ibogaine advocacy and treatment, Trevor brings over a decade of experience supporting individuals through addiction recovery, trauma healing, and post-treatment integration. His background includes co-founding the Canadian Psychedelic Association and serving as Chair of the Board for MAPS Canada. He has co-authored peer-reviewed research on ibogaine's applications for trauma, TBI, and opioid use disorder, and has been featured in award-winning documentaries including DOSED and In Waves and War. Grounded in personal experience and guided by a philosophical approach to healing, Trevor is helping shape a new model for ethical, integrative psychedelic care on a global scale. At Ambio, Trevor leads operations, strategic partnerships, and client experience – bridging clinical care with systems design, education, and public advocacy.

In this powerful episode of IDD Health Matters, Dr. Craig Escudé welcomes Kathryn Pears, Chief Operations Officer of the National Task Group on Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices (NTG). With over 40 years of experience in the field of dementia, Kathryn shares her personal and professional journey, beginning with her father's early-onset Alzheimer's diagnosis, and how it ultimately led her to advocate for individuals with intellectual disabilities who are aging and at risk for dementia. Kathryn discusses the groundbreaking work of the NTG, including their development of the Early Detection Screen for Dementia (NTG-EDSD)—a free, intuitive tool used nationwide to help caregivers identify subtle changes that could indicate early signs of dementia in people with IDD. She also dives into NTG's national curriculum, which has trained thousands of frontline staff, healthcare professionals, and even law enforcement on how to provide compassionate, effective care for aging individuals with IDD and dementia. From federal advocacy and workforce training to innovative partnerships in Texas aimed at improving emergency responses, Kathryn and the NTG are changing the landscape of aging and dementia care for this often-overlooked population. Tune in to learn three key takeaways from Kathryn's decades of experience: Don't assume behavioral changes equal dementia—rule out treatable conditions first. The heart of quality care is treating others the way you'd want to be treated. You don't need to be an expert—just be informed enough to advocate.

The challenge fund will support transformative innovations with the potential to decarbonise the national gas network and contribute to climate action targets. This joint initiative, co-funded by Research Ireland and by Gas Networks Ireland through its Gas Innovation Fund, is a phased funding programme. Successful teams from eligible research bodies in Ireland will be awarded up to €200,000 and will work through a series of phases to develop their idea. An overall prize award of €1 million will be available to the team that demonstrates the highest potential for transformative impact. The prize will enable the winning team to generate high-impact research and accelerate the development of sustainable energy technologies. The structure of the Programme is based on the Research Ireland Future Innovator Prize Sustainable Development Goals Challenge Programme, and will comprise three phases: Concept (six months' duration, with successful teams securing up to €50,000) Seed (12 months' duration, with teams securing up to €150,000), and: Prize (up to 24 months, with teams completing for an overall prize of €1 million). Welcoming the announcement, Interim CEO at Research Ireland, Celine Fitzgerald, commented: "We are delighted to be forging a partnership with Gas Networks Ireland on matters of such importance to our country and, indeed, our planet. Both agencies recognise the importance of decarbonisation of Ireland's gas network. The Research Ireland - Gas Networks Ireland Innovation Challenge 2025 will support research projects that have potential to generate STEM-based solutions for utilisation by the renewable gas industry, giving rise to national impact in the journey to achieve carbon neutrality. "We look forward to working in partnership with Gas Networks Ireland, and to seeing the outcomes stemming from our co-funded investment in Ireland's brightest research talent." Commenting on the collaboration agreement, Chief Operations Officer at Gas Networks Ireland, Bobby Gleeson, stated: "This landmark collaboration aligns with Ireland's national climate ambitions and our strategy to transition to a net zero gas network by 2045". "The Innovation Challenge is a powerful example of how targeted research can support national priorities - from climate action to economic development and will help enable the best minds in Irish research to develop practical, scalable solutions for integrating renewable gases and intelligent technologies into our energy infrastructure. This is a significant investment in the future of Ireland's energy system - and in the talent that will help shape it." The Research Ireland - Gas Networks Ireland Innovation Challenge has two overarching challenge themes to guide the collaborative engagement and research activity under this programme call, namely: 1. The Energy System Integration Challenge: This seeks to support the development of solutions to accelerate the optimisation and integration of the energy system in Ireland's transition to a low-carbon economy.

Foreign policy was a major pain point during the 2024 presidential campaign and one thing that could be agreed upon was the global threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has written a book, "Seven Things You Can't Say About China" where he aims to give an honest, unflinching look at the threats posed by China. Sen. Cotton joined the Rundown to break down how China became America's most dangerous enemy, the subtle ways China has infiltrated the United States, and how we must respond as a nation. The avian flu is causing massive price increases in the egg industry, with some farms being forced to cull their entire flock to avoid further spread of the disease. The rising costs have been seen in supermarkets across the country, with the average price for a dozen eggs sitting around five dollars. These high prices have trickled down to restaurants too, with many increasing menu prices to keep pace with the climbing egg fares. Chief Operations Officer of Green Eggs Cafe Stephen Slaughter joins the Rundown to discuss the rise in cost for his company, what he has been hearing from his egg distributors, and the challenges that have faced the industry in the last five years.
