Li-FT Power CEO Francis MacDonald joins Mining Stock Daily to discuss the company's completed combination with Winsome Resources and the strategic addition of the Adina lithium project in Quebec's rapidly emerging James Bay district. Francis explains why the consolidation of the Adina and Galina properties creates a significantly larger development opportunity, how existing infrastructure at the nearby Renard mine could accelerate production timelines, and why he believes James Bay could become the largest hard rock lithium district in the world. The conversation also provides updates from Yellowknife, where Li-FT continues expanding the Big East pegmatite system through ongoing drilling while balancing capital allocation between two major lithium development projects. With lithium prices rebounding sharply, multiple resource and engineering catalysts ahead, and continued consolidation opportunities on the table, Li-FT believes it is positioning itself as one of the leading lithium development companies in Canada.

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. Daniel Buysse and Dr. Todd Arnedt, both members of the AASM clinical practice guideline committee, to discuss the newly released guidelines on combination treatment for chronic insomnia disorder in adults. Unlike previous guidelines, this new guidance specifically addresses what happens in real-world clinical practice: patients often request both cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and pharmacotherapy, or arrive seeking medications while clinicians advocate for behavioral interventions. The guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for navigating these combination treatment scenarios, incorporating patient preferences in ways previous guidelines did not. The conversation explores the guideline development process, including how committee members were selected and how diverse professional backgrounds enriched the discussion. Dr. Buysse and Dr. Arnedt explain why patient preference wasn't adequately reflected in original practice guidelines and how this updated version addresses that gap. The first recommendation receives detailed examination: In adults with chronic insomnia, the AASM suggests combination treatment with CBT-I plus medication over medication alone (conditional recommendation, low certainty of evidence). The experts clarify which medications were examined, including whether dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs) were included, and explain why evidence certainty is low despite numerous studies. Pharmaceutical sponsorship creates methodological differences—PSG outcomes, fixed time in bed requirements—that complicate interpretation. The high placebo response in insomnia trials adds another layer of complexity. Critical implementation questions arise: What does "combination therapy" actually mean? Should both treatments start simultaneously, or should one precede the other? Can patients start medications while awaiting CBT-I appointments given typical access delays? The second recommendation appears paradoxical: The AASM suggests against combination treatment over CBT-I alone, yet recommends combination over medication alone. Dr. Buysse and Dr. Arnedt explain this nuanced position—CBT-I alone remains superior, but for patients who prioritize rapid total sleep time improvement over daytime symptom reduction, combination therapy may be reasonable. The conversation addresses whether treatment order matters and whether clinical (not just insurance-driven) logic suggests a medication hierarchy—zolpidem before eszopiclone, the role of trazodone, when to consider ramelteon. A crucial question emerges: What about patients who refuse or cannot access CBT-I? How do these guidelines apply when the preferred behavioral treatment is unavailable or unwanted? Throughout, the experts emphasize that guidelines inform but don't dictate clinical decisions. Patient preferences, values, and individual circumstances must shape treatment plans. The guidelines provide evidence-based frameworks while acknowledging the complexity of real-world insomnia management. Whether you're treating chronic insomnia, navigating patient requests for medications, addressing CBT-I access barriers, or seeking evidence-based approaches to combination therapy, this episode provides essential guidance. Join us for this important conversation about balancing behavioral and pharmacological approaches to chronic insomnia in clinical practice.

Because it was never just about how much you eat. It's about where that fiber is actually fermenting in your colon. Dr. Karan Rajan is a surgeon, gut health expert, and one of the most followed doctors on the internet. He spent years operating on colon cancers and bowel disease before realizing the most powerful thing he could do was hand people the information they were never given. In this conversation he breaks down the gut in a way that will make you want to reorganize your entire kitchen by the time it's over. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why the old soluble vs insoluble fiber model is outdated and what fermentation geography actually means — and how eating only one type of fiber can cause gas and bloating even when you're hitting your daily target  • Why the protein obsession sweeping wellness culture may be quietly turning your gut bacteria into gremlins, and what happens when your microbes run out of fiber to eat  • How your microbiome can begin to change within 48 hours of increasing fiber intake, and the exact ramp up strategy Dr. Karan uses to avoid the gas and bloating that makes most people quit If you have a gut, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Lucas Aoun sits down with Mimi from The Medicin to unpack one of the most underrated immune compounds in human health: AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound). AHCC has been quietly used in clinical settings for decades, yet most people still associate immune support with vitamin C, zinc, or mushrooms, missing what the human data on AHCC actually shows. This conversation cuts through the hype and focuses on human evidence, mechanisms, and practical application, making it essential listening for anyone serious about immune optimization, longevity, or performance-based health.Relevant Links:https://www.themedicin.com/ Check Out My Website For Coaching, Recommended Products and Much More:https://www.boostyourbiology.com/ Disclaimer:The information provided in this podcast episode is for entertainment purposes and is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.

Awareness and acceptance lay the groundwork, but nothing changes until you take action. In this final episode of the budgeting series, Brian Thompson brings the framework full circle by focusing on what to actually do with your numbers. Because understanding your finances and accepting where you are is only powerful if it leads somewhere. This episode is about making intentional, strategic decisions that move your mission-driven business forward.   Start With Vision, Not Spreadsheets Before diving into tactics, Brian starts with something that might surprise you in a budgeting conversation: vision. Your budget is more than a financial document. It's a reflection of the business and life you want to build. Do you want a lean lifestyle business with flexibility and freedom? A growing company with employees and systems? A business optimized for profit so you can invest, travel, or retire early? There's no wrong answer. But the budget you build should reflect your vision, directing your money toward what matters most to you.   The Three Financial Levers Once you know your numbers and your vision, the path forward becomes clearer. Brian outlines three levers every entrepreneur can pull. The Income Lever. Sometimes the most straightforward way to improve your financial picture is to focus on revenue growth. That might mean raising your prices, adding new services, improving your marketing, or increasing your capacity to serve more clients. The Expense Lever. Reducing expenses doesn't mean slashing everything or operating from a scarcity mindset. It means asking thoughtful questions: Are there subscriptions or tools you're no longer using? Services you could renegotiate? Expenses that don't actually move the business forward? As Brian noted in the first part of this series on awareness, sorting expenses from highest to lowest can reveal a lot. Sometimes one or two adjustments can significantly improve your financial flexibility. A Combination of Both. Most of the time, the right answer lives somewhere in the middle. A small price increase combined with trimming a few unnecessary expenses can create a surprisingly big impact on both sides of the equation.   The Profit First Framework For clients looking for a practical system to manage cash flow, Brian recommends the Profit First model. Rather than treating profit as whatever is left over after expenses, Profit First flips the equation so you are allocating income intentionally across four key categories from the start: profit, owner's pay, taxes, and operating expenses. Setting percentages for each category and revisiting them quarterly creates guardrails that keep your business financially healthy and enforces a powerful mindset shift: profit is no longer an afterthought. It becomes a priority.   Give Yourself Permission to Have a "Building Year" For anyone feeling pressure to make every year better than the last, Brian offers a grounding reminder: business growth is not a straight line. Some years are building years. Maybe you hired your first employee, invested in new systems, launched a new service, or restructured your client roster. In those years, expenses often increase before revenue catches up. And that's okay. Sometimes investing now is exactly what creates something better later.   Your Action Step Look at the numbers you gathered during the awareness exercise and ask yourself one question: which lever do I need to pull right now? Do you need to focus on increasing income, reducing expenses, or a combination of both? Then identify one intentional change you can make this month. Just one. Small, consistent decisions are what ultimately build strong businesses. Thank you for following along with this three-part budgeting series. If there's one takeaway from awareness, acceptance, and action, it's this: budgeting isn't about restriction. It's about clarity, compassion, and intentional decision making. When you know your numbers, accept where you are, and take thoughtful action, you give your mission-driven business the foundation it needs to thrive.

These methods often require an engineering mindset that incorporates measurement system analysis (MSA), gage R&R studies, and the use of fabricated surrogate standards when devices cannot be reused for testing.They also discuss platform test methods and how standards such as ISO 11040 and other ISO references can serve as starting points for method development. The conversation touches on the evolving alignment between ISO based device methods and pharmacopeial expectations such as USP . The episode also covers make vs buy testing decisions, when to outsource specialized testing such as CCIT and extractables and leachables, and how sponsors manage oversight of contract testing laboratories.Timestamps00:00 Welcome and Guest Introduction00:53 ICH Q2 vs MSA Mindset Shift04:37 Surrogate Standards for Mechanical Testing11:12 Platform Methods and ISO 1104015:14 ISO vs USP Verification Debate20:06 Outsourcing Analytical Testing Strategy24:07 Choosing the Right Test Lab26:20 Sponsor Oversight of Contract Labs30:09 Wrap UpAbout Jen RiterJen Riter is an analytical testing and laboratory leader with nearly three decades of experience working in pharmaceutical packaging, drug delivery systems, and combination products.

With data increasingly positioning thermal ablation as a viable alternative to surgery for select liver metastases, the demands on the interventional oncologist have never been higher. Mastering the nuances of patient selection and precise margin assessment is now essential for ensuring effective disease control locally. In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, interventional radiologist Dr. Jonas Redmond of UC San Diego Health joins host Dr. Sabeen Dhand to discuss the current state of microwave ablation (MWA) in the management of oligometastatic liver disease, focusing on tumor assessment, preprocedural planning, and the integration of local and systemic therapies. --- This podcast is supported by: Varian IntelliBlatehttps://www.varian.com/products/interventional-solutions/microwave-ablation-solutions --- SYNPOSIS The conversation delves into the complexities of timing systemic versus local ablative therapies and explores questions surrounding adequate treatment margins. Dr. Redmond goes on to emphasize the need for operators to approach procedures with a high level of adaptability, advocating for interdisciplinary preprocedural planning and thoughtful modality selection. Exploring the complications that could arise from injury to adjacent viscera, the physicians speak to the critical importance of rigorous intraprocedural reassessment and discuss how modern software and robotics are transforming procedural precision and safety. Framing these MWA pearls within the context of recent clinical trials like COLLISION and ACCLAIM, the episode underscores the transition of interventional oncology from providing palliative services to increasingly curative solutions that may offer better prospects for patients with metastatic disease. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction04:30 - Role of Local Therapy in Systemic Disease09:49 - Patient Selection and Treatment Modalities13:15 - Challenging Lesion Characteristics and Locations19:56 - Y-90 Radioembolization versus Microwave Ablation23:04 - Intraoperative Ablation and Combining Locoregional Modalities29:36 - Complications of Microwave Ablation in the Liver36:43 - Future of Ablation and Liver Metastases Treatment39:25 - Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks --- RESOURCES UC San Diego Health.

In this episode, I'm joined by Mandy Mooney — author, corporate communicator, and performer — for a wide-ranging conversation about mentorship, career growth, and how to show up authentically in both work and life.   We talk about her path from performing arts to corporate communications, and how those early experiences shaped the way she approaches relationships, leadership, and personal authenticity. That foundation carries through to her current role as VP of Internal Communications, where she focuses on building connections and fostering resilience across teams.   We explore the three pillars of career success Mandy highlights in her book Corporating: Three Ways to Win at Work — relationships, reputation, and resilience — and how they guide her approach to scaling mentorship and helping others grow. Mandy shares practical strategies for balancing professional responsibilities with personal passions, and why embracing technology thoughtfully can enhance, not replace, human connection.   The conversation also touches on parenting, building independence in children, and the lessons she's learned about optimism, preparation, and persistence — both in the workplace and at home.   If you're interested in scaling mentorship, developing your career with intention, or navigating work with authenticity, this episode is for you. And if you want to hear more on these topics, catch Mandy speaking at Snafu Conference 2026 on March 5th. 00:00 Start 02:26 Teaching Self-Belief and Independence Robin notes Mandy has young kids and a diverse career (performing arts → VP of a name-brand company → writing books). Robin asks: "What are the skills that you want your children to develop, to stay resilient in the world and the world of work that they're gonna grow up in?" Emphasis on meta-skills. Mandy's response: Core skills She loves the question, didn't expect it, finds it a "thrilling ride." Observes Robin tends to "put things out there before they exist" (e.g., talking about having children before actually having them). Skill 1: Envisioning possibilities "Envision the end, believe that it will happen and it is much more likely to happen." Teaching children to see limitless possibilities if they believe in them. Skill 2: Independence Examples: brushing their own hair, putting on clothes, asking strangers questions. One daughter in Girl Scouts: learning sales skills by approaching strangers to sell cookies. Independence builds confidence and problem-solving abilities for small and big life challenges. Skill 3: Self-belief / Self-worth Tied to independence. Helps children navigate life and career successfully. Robin asks about teaching self-belief Context: Mandy's kids are 6 and 9 years old (two girls). Mandy's approach to teaching self-belief Combination of: Words Mandy uses when speaking to them. Words encouraged for the children to use about themselves. Example of shifting praise from appearance to effort/creativity: Instead of "You look so pretty today" → "Wow, I love the creativity that you put into your outfit." Reason: "The voice that I use, the words that I choose, they're gonna receive that and internalize it." Corrective, supportive language when children doubt themselves: Example: Child says, "I'm so stupid, I can't figure out this math problem." Mandy responds: "Oh wow. That's something that we can figure out together. And the good news is I know that you are so smart and that you can figure this out, so let's work together to figure it out." Asking reflective questions to understand their inner thoughts: Example: "What's it like to be you? What's it like to be inside your head?" Child's response: "Well, you worry a lot," which Mandy found telling and insightful. Emphasizes coming from a place of curiosity to check in on a child's self-worth and self-identity journey. 04:30 Professional Journey and Role of VP of Internal Comms Robin sets up the question about professional development Notes Mandy has mentored lots of people. Wants to understand: Mandy's role as VP of Internal Communications (what that means). How she supports others professionally. How her own professional growth has been supported. Context: Robin just finished a workshop for professionals on selling themselves, asking for promotions, and stepping forward in their careers. Emphasizes that she doesn't consider herself an expert but learns from conversations with experienced people like Mandy. Mandy explains her role and path Career path has been "a winding road." Did not study internal communications; discovered it later. Finds her job fun, though sometimes stressful: "I often think I might have the most fun job in the world. I mean, it, it can be stressful and it can't, you know, there are days where you wanna bang your head against the wall, but by and large, I love my job. It is so fun." Internal communications responsibility: Translate company strategy into something employees understand and are excited about. Example: Translate business plan for 2026 to 2,800 employees. Team's work includes: Internal emails. PowerPoints for global town halls. Speaking points for leaders. Infusing fun into company culture via intranet stories (culture, customers, innovation). Quick turnaround on timely stories (example: employee running seven marathons on seven continents; story created within 24 hours). Storytelling and theater skills are key: Coaching leaders for presentations: hand gestures, voice projection, camera presence. Mandy notes shared theater background with Robin: "You and I are both thespian, so we come from theater backgrounds." Robin summarizes role Sounds like a mix of HR and sales: supporting employee development while "selling" them on the company. Mandy elaborates on impact and mentorship Loves making a difference in employees' lives by giving information and support. Works closely with HR (Human Resources) to: Provide learning and development opportunities. Give feedback. Help managers improve. Wrote a book to guide navigating internal careers and relationships. Mentorship importance: Mentors help accelerate careers in any organization. Mandy's career journey Started studying apparel merchandising at Indiana University (with Kelley School of Business minor). Shifted from pre-med → theater → journalism → apparel merchandising. Took full advantage of career fairs and recruiter networking at Kelley School of Business. "The way that I've gotten jobs is not through applying online, it's through knowing somebody, through having a relationship." First role at Gap Inc.: rotational Retail Management Training Program (RMP). Some roles enjoyable, some less so; realized she loved the company even if some jobs weren't ideal. Mentor influence: Met Bobby Stillton, president of Gap Foundation, who inspired her with work empowering women and girls. Took a 15-minute conversation with Bobby and got an entry-level communications role. Career growth happened through mentorship, internal networking, and alignment with company she loved. Advice for her daughters (Robin's question) Flash-forward perspective: post-college or early career. How to start a career in corporate / large organizations: Increase "luck surface area" (exposure to opportunities). Network in a savvy way. Ask at the right times. Build influence to get ahead. Mentorship and internal relationships are key, not just applying for jobs online. 12:15 Career Advice and Building Relationships Initial advice: "Well first I would say always call your mom. Ask for advice. I'm right here, honey, anytime." Three keys to success: Relationships Expand your network. "You say yes to everything, especially early in your career." Examples: sit in on meetings, observe special projects, help behind the scenes. Benefits: Increases credibility. Shows people you can do anything. Reputation Build a reputation as confident, qualified, and capable. Online presence: Example: LinkedIn profile—professional, up-to-date, connected to network. Be a sponsor/advocate for your company (school, office, etc.). Monthly posts suggested: team photos, events, showing responsibility and trust. Offline reputation: Deliver results better than expected. "Deliver on the things that you said you were gonna do and do a better job than people expected of you." Resilience Not taught from books—learned through experience. Build resilience through preparation, not "fake it till you make it." Preparation includes: practicing presentations, thinking through narratives, blocking time before/after to collect thoughts and connect with people. "Preparation is my headline … that's part of what creates resilience." Mandy turns the question to Robin: "I wanna ask you too, I mean, Robin, you, you live and breathe this every day too. What do you think are the keys to success?" Robin agrees with preparation as key. Value of service work: Suggests working in service (food, hospitality) teaches humility. "I've never met somebody I think even ever in my life who is super entitled and profoundly ungrateful, who has worked a service job for any length of time." Robin's personal experience with service work: First business: selling pumpkins at Robin's Pumpkin Patch (age 5). Key formative experience: running Robin's Cafe (2016, opened with no restaurant experience, on three weeks' notice). Ran the cafe for 3 years, sold it on Craigslist. Served multiple stakeholders: nonprofit, staff (~15 employees), investors ($40,000 raised from family/friends). Trial by fire: unprepared first days—no full menu, no recipes, huge rush events. Concept of MI Plus: "Everything in its place" as preparation principle. Connecting service experience to corporate storytelling: Current business: Zandr Media (videos, corporate storytelling). Preparation is critical: Know who's where, what will be captured, and what the final asset looks like. Limited fixes in post-production, even with AI tools. Reinforces importance of preparation through repeated experience. Advice for future children / young people: Robin would encourage service jobs for kids for months or a year. Teaches: Sleep management, personal presentation, confidence, energy. "Deciding that I'm going to show up professionally … well … energetically." Emphasizes relentless optimism: positivity is a superpower. Experience shows contrast between being prepared and unprepared—learning from both is crucial. 16:36 The Importance of Service Jobs and Resilience Service jobs as formative experience: Worked as a waitress early in her career (teenager). Describes it as "the hardest job of my life". Challenges included: Remembering orders (memory). Constant multitasking. Dealing with different personalities and attitudes. Maintaining positivity and optimism through long shifts (e.g., nine-hour shifts). Fully agrees with Robin: service jobs teach humility and preparation. Optimism as a superpower: "I totally agree too that optimism is a superpower. I think optimism is my superpower." Writes about this concept in her book. Believes everyone has at least one superpower, and successful careers involve identifying and leaning into that superpower. Robin asks about the book Why did Mandy write the book? Inspiration behind the book? Also wants a deep dive into the writing process for her own interest. Mandy's inspiration and purpose of the book Title: "Corporating: Three Ways to Win At Work" Primary goal: Scale mentorship. Realized as she reached VP level, people wanted career advice. Increased visibility through: Position as VP. Connection with alma mater (Indiana University). Active presence on LinkedIn. Result: Many young professionals seeking mentorship. Challenge: Not sustainable to mentor individually. Solution: Writing a book allows her to scale mentorship without minimizing impact. Secondary goals / personal motivations: Acts as a form of "corporate therapy": Reflects on first 10 years of her career. Acknowledges both successes and stumbles. Helps process trials and tribulations. Provides perspective and gratitude for lessons learned. Fun aspect: as a writer, enjoyed formatting and condensing experiences into a digestible form for readers. Legacy and contribution: "I had something that I could contribute meaningfully to the world … as part of my own legacy … I do wanna leave this world feeling like I contributed something positive. So this is one of my marks."   21:37 Writing a Book and Creative Pursuits Robin asks Mandy about the writing process: "What's writing been like for you? Just the, the process of distilling your thinking into something permanent." Mandy: Writing process and finding the "25th hour" Loves writing: "I love writing, so the writing has been first and foremost fun." Where she wrote the book: Mostly from the passenger seat of her car. She's a working mom and didn't have traditional writing time. Advice from mentor Gary Magenta: "Mandy, you're gonna have to find the 25th hour." She found that "25th hour" in her car. Practical examples: During birthday party drop-offs: "Oh good. It's a drop off party. Bye. Bye, honey. See you in two hours. I'll be in the driveway. In my car. If you need anything, please don't need anything." Would write for 1.5–2 hours. During Girl Scouts, swim, any activity. On airplanes: Finished the book on an eight-hour flight back from Germany. It was her 40th birthday (June 28). "Okay, I did it." Realization moment: "You chip away at it enough that you realize, oh, I have a book." Robin: On parents and prioritization Parents told him: "When you have kids, you just find a way." Children create: Stricter prioritization. A necessary forcing function. Mandy's self-reflection: "I believe that I am an inherently lazy person, to be totally honest with you." But she's driven by deadlines and deliverables. Kids eliminate "lazy days": No more slow Saturdays watching Netflix. "They get up. You get up, you have to feed these people like there's a human relying on you." Motherhood forces motivation: "My inherent laziness has been completely wiped away the past nine years." Writing happened in small windows of time. Importance of creative outlet: Having something for yourself fuels the rest of life. Examples: writing, crocheting, quilting, music. Creativity energizes other areas of life. Robin mentions The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. Advice from that book: Have something outside your day job that fuels you. For Robin: Physical practice (gym, handstands, gymnastics, ballet, capoeira, surfing). It's a place to: Celebrate. Feel progress. Win, even if work is struggling. Example: If tickets aren't selling. If newsletter flops. If client relationships are hard. Physical training becomes the "anchor win." Mandy's writing took over two years. Why? She got distracted writing a musical version of the book. There is now: "Corporating: The Book" "Corporating: The Musical" Three songs produced online. Collaboration with composer Eric Chaney. Inspiration from book: Time, Talent, Energy (recommended by former boss Sarah Miran). Concept: we have limited time, talent, and energy. Advice: Follow your energy when possible. If you're flowing creatively, go with it (unless there's an urgent deadline). You'll produce better work. She believes: The book is better because she created the musical. Musical helps during speaking engagements. Sometimes she sings during talks. Why music? Attention spans are short. Not just Gen Z — everyone is distracted. Music keeps people engaged. "I'm not just gonna tell you about the three ways to win at work. I'm gonna sing it for you too." Robin on capturing attention If you can hold attention of: Five-year-olds. Thirteen-year-olds. You can hold anyone's attention. Shares story: In Alabama filming for Department of Education. Interviewed Alabama Teacher of the Year (Katie). She has taught for 20 years (kindergarten through older students). Observed: High enthusiasm. High energy. Willingness to be ridiculous to capture attention. Key insight: Engagement requires energy and presence. 28:37 The Power of Music in Capturing Attention Mandy's part of a group called Mic Drop Workshop. Led by Lindsay (last name unclear in transcript) and Jess Tro. They meet once a month. Each session focuses on improving a different performance skill. The session she describes focused on facial expressions. Exercise they did: Tell a story with monotone voice and no facial expressions. Tell the story "over the top clown like, go really big, something that feels so ridiculous." Tell it the way you normally would. Result: Her group had four people. "Every single one of us liked number two better than one or three." Why version two worked best: When people are emotive and expressive: It's more fun to watch. It's more entertaining. It's more engaging. Connection to kids and storytelling: Think of how you tell stories to five-year-olds: Whisper. Get loud. Get soft. Use dynamic shifts. The same applies on stage. Musical integration: Music is another tool for keeping attention. Helps maintain engagement in a distracted world. Robin: Hiring for energy and presence Talks about hiring his colleague Zach Fish. Technical producer for: Responsive Conference. Snafu Conference. Freelancer Robin works with often. Why Robin hires Zach: Yes, he's technically excellent. But more importantly: "He's a ball of positive energy and delight and super capable and confident, but also just pleasant to be with." Robin's hiring insight: If he has a choice, he chooses Zach. Why? "I feel better." Energy and presence influence hiring decisions. Zach's background: Teaches weekly acrobatics classes for kids in Berkeley. He's used to engaging audiences. That translates into professional presence. Robin: Energy is learnable When thinking about: Who to hire. Who to promote. Who to give opportunities to. Traits that matter: Enthusiasm. Positivity. Big energy. Being "over the top" when needed. Important insight: This isn't necessarily a God-given gift. It can be learned. Like music or performance. Like anything else. 31:00 The Importance of Positive Work Relationships Mandy reflects on: The tension between loud voices and quiet voices. "Oftentimes the person who is the loudest is the one who gets to talk the most, but the person who's the quietest is the one who maybe has the best ideas." Core question: How do you exist in a world where both of those things are true? Parenting lens: One daughter is quieter than the other. Important to: Encourage authenticity. Teach the skill of using your voice loudly when needed. It's not about changing personality. It's about equipping someone to advocate for themselves when necessary Book is targeted at: Students about to enter the corporate world. Early-career professionals. Intentional writing decision: Exactly 100 pages. Purpose: "To the point, practical advice." Holds attention. Digestible. Designed for distracted readers. Emotional honesty: Excited but nervous to reconnect with students. Acknowledges: The world has changed. It's been a while since she was in college. Advice she's trying to live: Know your audience Core principle: "Get to know your audience. Like really get in there and figure out who they are." Pre-book launch tour purpose: Visiting universities (including her alma mater). Observing students. Understanding: Their learning environment. Their day-to-day experiences. The world they're stepping into. Communication principle: Knowing your audience is essential in communications. Also essential in career-building. If you have a vision of where you want to go: "Try to find a way to get there before you're there." Tactics: Meet people in those roles. Shake their hands. Have coffee. Sit in those seats. Walk those halls. See how it feels. Idea: Test the future before committing to it. Reduce uncertainty through proximity. What if you don't have a vision? Robin pushes back thoughtfully: What about people who: Don't know what they want to do? Aren't sure about staying at a company? Aren't sure about career vs. business vs. stay-at-home parent? Acknowledges: There's abundance in the world. Attention is fragmented. Implied tension: How do you move forward without clarity? 35:13 Mentorship and Career Guidance How to help someone figure out what's next Start with questions, not answers A mentor's primary job: ask questions from a place of curiosity Especially when someone is struggling with what they want to do or their career direction Key questions: What brings you joy? What gives you energy? What's the dream? Imagine retirement — what does that look like? Example: A financial advisor made Mandy and her husband define retirement vision; then work backwards (condo in New Zealand, annual family vacations) Clarify what actually matters Distinguish life priorities: Security → corporate job; Teamwork → corporate environment; Variety and daily interaction → specific roles Mentoring becomes a checklist: Joy, strengths, lifestyle, financial expectations, work environment preferences Then make connections: Introduce them to people in relevant environments, encourage informational interviews You don't know what you don't know Trial and error is inevitable Build network intentionally: Shadow people, observe, talk to parents' friends, friends of friends Even experienced professionals have untapped opportunities Stay curious and do the legwork Mixing personal and professional identity Confidence to bring personal interests into corporate work comes from strategy plus luck Example: Prologis 2021, senior leaders joked about forming a band; Mandy spoke up, became lead singer CEO took interest after first performance, supported book launch She didn't always feel this way Early corporate years: Feel like a "corporate robot," worrying about jargon, meetings, email etiquette, blending in Book explores blending in while standing out Advice for bringing full self to work Don't hide it, but don't force it; weave into casual conversation Find advocates: Amazing bosses vs terrible ones, learn from both Mentorship shaped her framework: Relationships, reputation, and resilience Resilience and rejection Theater as rejection bootcamp: Auditions, constant rejection Foundations of resilience: Surround yourself with supportive people, develop intrinsic self-worth, know you are worthy Creating conditions for success Age 11 audition story: Last-minute opportunity, director asked her to sing, she sang and got the part Why it worked: Connections (aunt in play), parent support, director willing to take a chance, she showed up Resilience is not just toughing it out: Have support systems, build self-worth, seek opportunity, create favorable conditions, step forward when luck opens a door 44:18 Overcoming Rejection and Building Resilience First show experiences Robin's first stage production is uncertain; she had to think carefully At 17, walked into a gymnastics gym after being a cross country runner for ten years, burnt out from running Cold-called gyms from the Yellow Pages; most rejected her for adult classes, one offered adult classes twice a week That led to juggling, circus, fencing, capa, rock climbing — a "Cambrian explosion" of movement opportunities About a year and a half later, walked into a ballet studio in corduroy and a button-up, no ballet shoes; first ballet teacher was Eric Skinner at Reed College, surrounded by former professional ballerinas First internal college production was his first show; ten years later performed as an acrobat with the San Francisco Opera in 2013, six acrobats among 200 people on stage, four-hour shows with multiple costume changes and backflips Relationship to AI and the evolving world of work Mandy never asks her daughters "What do you want to be?" because jobs today may not exist in the future Focus on interests: plants, how things are built, areas of curiosity for future generations Coaching her team: Highly capable, competent, invested in tools and technology for digital signage, webinars, emails, data-driven insights, videos Approach AI with cautious optimism: Adopt early, embrace technology, use it to enhance work rather than replace it Example: Uses a bot for scheduling efficiency, brainstorming; enhances job performance by integrating AI from day one Advice: Approach AI with curiosity, not fear; embrace tools to be smarter and more efficient, stay ahead in careers 53:05 Where to Find Mandy Mandy will be speaking at Snafu Conference on March 5, discussing rejection and overcoming it.

Today, we're diving into the new era of obesity care. Hosts·       Matthew Martin, trauma and bariatric surgeon at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center (Los Angeles, California) @docmartin2·       Adrian Dan, bariatric and MIS surgeon, program director for the advanced MIS bariatric and foregut fellowship at Summa Health System (Akron, Ohio) @DrAdrianDan·       Crystal Johnson Mann, bariatric and foregut surgeon at the University of Florida (Gainesville, Florida) @crys_noelle_·       Katherine Cironi, general surgery resident at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center (Los Angeles, California) @cironimacaroniLearning objectives1.          Understand the evolving role of OMMs in bariatric surgical practice·       Recognize how widespread GLP-1 and dual-incretin therapies have reshaped patient presentations, expectations, and referral patterns.·       Appreciate current evidence comparing surgery to GLP-1 therapy, including the JAMA Surgery study out of Allegheny Health (2025), noting:o   Superior weight loss with bariatric surgery (~28% TBWL vs ~10% with GLP-1s)o   Higher health-care utilization and cost in GLP-1–treated patients.·       Frame OMMs not as alternatives but as complementary tools within a chronic disease model when treating obesity.2.           Review pharmacologic classes and their expected efficacy·       Surgeons should be able to articulate the mechanisms, efficacy, and limitations of:o   GLP-1 receptor agonists – incretin-based satiety; 5–12% TBWL.o   Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists – most potent agents; 15–22% TBWL.o   Sympathomimetics – norepinephrine-driven appetite suppression; 3–7% TBWL.o   Combination agents (bupropion-naltrexone, phentermine-topiramate) – 5–12% TBWL depending on regimen.o   Emerging therapies – retatrutide, maritide, oral GLP-1s, with promising TBWL in phase 2 trials3.          Apply OMMs strategically in the preoperative phase·       Integrate OMMs without compromising surgical eligibility—OMM-related weight loss does not negate the indication for surgery.·       Counsel patients that medication response does not equal disease resolution; surgery remains the most durable intervention.·       Manage delayed gastric emptying and aspiration risk:o   Pause weekly GLP-1 or dual agonists for ≥1 week pre-op (longer if symptomatic).o   Collaborate closely with the anesthesia/OR teams·       Screen for nutritional depletion before surgery, especially protein deficits exacerbated by appetite suppression.·       Navigate insurance barriers that may paradoxically approve surgery but deny medication continuation.4.          Implement postoperative OMMs safely and effectively·       Establish criteria for OMM introduction:o   Typical initiation at 6–12 months, once the diet stabilizes and the physiologic curve flattens.o   Earlier initiation (4–6 weeks) may be appropriate in pediatric or select high-risk populations.·       Recognize altered pharmacokinetics after sleeve and bypass:o   Injectables may be preferred due to altered absorption of oral agents.·       Prevent postoperative nutritional compromise:o   Monitor protein intake, hydration, and micronutrient status (including iron, B12, and fat-soluble vitamins).o   Titrate doses slowly to minimize nausea/vomiting that can precipitate malnutrition.·       Frame OMM use as a tool for disease persistence (plateau/regain), not as a marker of failure.5.          Identify systems-level barriers and the implementation of coordinated care·       Understand insurance inconsistencies—coverage for surgery is often not paired with coverage for long-term medical therapy.·       Clearly document disease persistence and medical necessity when appealing denials.·       Avoid fragmented care: establish shared-care pathways between bariatric surgery, obesity medicine, and primary care.·       Use patient-centered language emphasizing complementary therapy, not hierarchy or competition between surgery and medications.6.          Counsel patients ethically and accurately within a chronic disease model·       Set expectations: sustained success requires surgery + medication + behavioral change.·       Educate patients that postoperative OMM use does not imply surgical failure.·       Normalize long-term multimodal management of obesity, analogous to diabetes or hypertension models.*Sponsor Disclaimer: Visit goremedical.com/btkpod to learn more about GORE® SYNECOR Biomaterial, including supporting references and disclaimers for the presented content.  Refer to Instructions for Use at eifu.goremedical.com for a complete description of all applicable indications, warnings, precautions and contraindications for the markets where this product is available.

Bitcoin isn't just for public companies. Roland Talalas explains why his privately held business treats Bitcoin as its long-term treasury asset and how that decision impacts banking, credit, and growth. Hosted by Pierre Rochard, this conversation explores inflation, AI productivity, and why Bitcoin outperforms cash on corporate balance sheets.

The Gazette sports writer K.J. Pilcher is joined by Jim Nelson of The Courier to discuss Iowa college wrestling from the past week and upcoming matchups.

The Super Bowl is coming up, and you know what that means: chips. Also dip. And commercials. If there's time, perhaps some football as well. Next Tuesday it'll also mean Bob and Costaki get to gloat about the Patriots losing thanks to Minnesota talent. That's right, we're calling it now.Topics:NFL franchise valuationUpcoming Super BowlRip the puppyNew Disney CEOCharlie's giant pizza sliceSJUSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
