Most people can buy a lottery ticket, join an office March Madness pool, or place an occasional sports bet without it becoming a problem. So why do some people lose their savings, relationships, careers, and even homes because they can't stop gambling? In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with certified gambling counselor Eric Webber, MA, to explore the realities behind gambling addiction and why it deserves to be treated as a serious mental health condition. This conversation examines the explosion of legal sports betting, in-game prop bets, fantasy sports, and gambling advertisements that have made betting more accessible — and more difficult to avoid — than ever before. Eric explains how modern betting platforms are intentionally designed to deliver frequent rewards that keep people engaged, and why "just stop gambling" is no more helpful than telling someone with depression to "just cheer up." Listeners will learn: how treatment for gambling addiction works and what to expect why gambling addiction is a real behavioral addiction, even without substances involved the critical role of peer support in long-term recovery potential warning signs that casual gambling may be turning into compulsive behavior If you've ever wondered when gambling crosses the line from entertainment to addiction, this conversation may change the way you think about betting forever."People don't lose everything because they enjoy gambling. They lose everything because they can't stop — and that's what makes it an addiction." ~Eric J. Webber, MA Our guest, Eric J. Webber, MA,  is the Caron Legal Professionals Program Coordinator and Senior Behavioral Health Therapist at Caron Treatment Center.  He provides direct care through individual and group counseling sessions, as well as specialty lectures focused on the disease of addiction, relapse, addiction interaction disorders, work/professional related issues, and other targeted needs. He conducts the Legal Professionals group and meets with legal professionals individually to provide counsel.  Mr. Webber is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Certified Clinical Supervisor, and holds a Certificate of Competency in Problem Gambling, all through the Pennsylvania Certification Board; he is also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and a Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals. He holds a master's degree from Alvernia University.   Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio.

Send us Fan MailA veterinary “clinic” doesn't always look like stainless steel tables and a wall of equipment. Sometimes it's a town pavilion, a park, an old hotel lobby, or a host's living room and that shift changes what students learn, what they notice, and who they become as clinicians. We're joined by Dr. Paul Maza to talk about international veterinary service learning and why it deserves more recognition in veterinary education, not as a feel-good add-on, but as rigorous training that builds adaptability, confidence, and cultural humility.We dig into the on-the-ground reality of providing animal care in low-resource settings: how teams adjust anesthesia protocols when the usual machines aren't available, how students learn to problem-solve with different supplies and medications, and how interpreters often translate cultural context as much as language. Paul also shares what he's observed after training hundreds of students over the years, including how the “clinical work” can become the backdrop for deeper learning about community, partnership, and the global nature of veterinary medicine and animal welfare.Then we get personal with the stories that stick: setting up a clinic at a Buddhist monastery in Thailand and realizing a single monk was the essential partner for safely handling the dogs, and walking the streets of La Paz, Bolivia, only to find street dogs wearing child-sized puffy coats because people wanted them warm. If you've ever wondered what global veterinary service, externships, and community-based care can teach that a hospital rotation can't, this conversation is for you.

▶ Click Here to Master Evidence Foundations ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ EPISODE SUMMARY Witness testimony is built on foundation and tested through credibility. Under the Federal Rules, every person is competent to testify unless a rule provides otherwise. Competency is a low threshold. Weak memory, interest, age, criminal history, or bias usually affects credibility, not admissibility.A lay witness must have personal knowledge. The witness may testify to matters perceived through the witness's own senses but may not ordinarily speculate or repeat rumor. The witness must also take an oath or affirmation to testify truthfully.Lay opinion is admissible when rationally based on perception, helpful, and not based on specialized knowledge. Expert testimony requires specialized knowledge that helps the factfinder, sufficient facts or data, reliable principles and methods, and reliable application. The judge serves as gatekeeper over expert reliability.Direct examination generally uses non-leading questions. Cross-examination usually permits leading questions. Redirect responds to matters raised on cross. The court controls the mode and order of questioning.Refreshing recollection allows a witness to consult an item to revive present memory. Recorded recollection is a hearsay exception used when the witness cannot recall fully and accurately despite a record made or adopted when the matter was fresh.Impeachment attacks credibility. Major methods include bias, prior inconsistent statement, character for untruthfulness, prior conviction, specific acts probative of truthfulness, sensory or mental defect, and contradiction. Rehabilitation repairs credibility after impeachment through explanation, truthful-character evidence after attack, prior consistent statements where allowed, and redirect examination.The central lesson is that witness evidence depends on foundation and credibility. The Evidence student must know how testimony enters, how it is attacked, and how it is repaired.

Two years into the EPA era — are we actually training surgeons differently, or just checking new boxes? In this episode, Behind the Knife co-director and Duke Trauma Surgeon Dr. Patrick Georgoff and Behind the Knife surgical education fellows Dr. Agnes Premkumar and Dr. Emma Burke sit down with Dr. Ruchi Thanawala, thoracic surgeon at OHSU, informatician, and founder of Firefly Labs, to get an honest look at the state of competency-based surgical education. We dig into why surgery is uniquely hard to assess, what the data are actually showing (spoiler: significant skewing, and we're not ready to make promotion decisions off it yet), and why collecting assessments is only 25% of the work.

Over the past several years, contextualizing care has surfaced repeatedly on On Becoming a Healer. In 2025, contextualizing care was incorporated into new Foundational Competencies for Undergraduate Medical Education. Around the same time, co-host Saul Weiner worked with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) to develop an online course designed to teach these skills, called Contextualizing Care for the Clinician (IHI Open School). Now that the course has been added to IHI's subscription-based Open School curriculum, making it available to learners at hundreds of subscribing institutions, we thought it would be a good time to revisit several conversations from past episodes that illustrate what contextualizing care is, why it matters, and how we can teach it.

AI is no longer just a productivity tool. It is a channel, a leadership competency, and a pressure test on whether your story holds up across every part of your brand.Steve Halsey sits down with Hailey Driscoll, SVP of PR and Managing Director, Boston at Walker Sands, and Jon Woods, partner at Ground Floor Media, to unpack what is actually working in AI adoption and where leaders are getting stuck. The conversation builds on insights from the first PROI Americas AI Summit, where agency leaders from across the region came together to compare notes on what is real and what is hype. They get into the messy middle of AI maturity, why fixating on efficiency leaves real value on the table, and how AI is reshaping brand visibility through generative search and the emerging discipline of story hygiene. The episode closes with practical advice on staying curious in a constantly shifting landscape and the case for treating AI adoption as an organizational leadership decision, not just a tech project.In this episode:Why fixating on AI as an efficiency tool is leaving the real value on the tableHow AI is becoming a marketing channel through generative search and what GEO means for brand visibilityWhy story hygiene is now a foundational comms disciplineWhat CCOs and CMOs should be building before they scale AI across their teams

Socks are the #1 most requested item at homeless shelters. Dave Heath turned that single fact into Bombas — a one-for-one apparel brand that's donated over 200 million items of clothing and built a billion-dollar business along the way.

Dr. Logan Camp-Spivey describes a simulation they developed that focuses on care of a transgender patient in an emergency situation. The simulation was created to address gaps in nursing students' exposure to transgender patient care and provide practice for students in responding to a code. As part of the simulation, students review the medical records, assess the patient, and respond to a code situation that requires CPR. The feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive. Learn more about the simulation in their article.

In Part I of this 2-part series, we introduced several reasons why many Christians believe women should be able to serve as pastors. Our scriptural considerations began with understanding what the “equality in Christ” in our theme text means. We found that it is pointing to an immovable foundation for people of differing ethnicities, different social standings and both genders to stand firmly upon. While Christ does not change our heritage, social standing or gender privileges, he equally welcomes all of us. We also briefly examined the roles of a few prominent Old Testament women. Here we discovered that even though they were wise and chosen prophets of God, that did not open the door for them to be in any way related to the priesthood of Israel. In Part II of our series, we continue examining the question of whether women should serve as pastors or elders by looking closely at New Testament women in ministry by including examples often raised in support of egalitarian views. We explore the lives of Priscilla, Phoebe and Junia—women of remarkable faith and influence—and consider how their contributions fit within the structure God designed for the early church. These women served powerfully and sacrificially, yet Scripture never presents them as holding the governing or teaching offices reserved for elders. Gift vs. office A major theme of this episode is the difference between gifts and offices. God gives spiritual gifts broadly to both men and women, enabling all believers to teach, encourage, counsel and serve. But the New Testament consistently assigns the formal teaching and governing roles of the church to qualified men. This distinction becomes especially important when we look at Pentecost. Peter quotes a prophecy from Joel to show that God's spirit was being poured out on both sons and daughters, but his purpose was to highlight the arrival of miraculous gifts—not to redefine church leadership. Pentecost was a preview of God's power, not a restructuring of the elder role. The Competency Argument We also address the modern argument of competency. Many women today are highly educated, capable leaders in every sphere of society. Scripture never denies their ability. Instead, it provokes us to consider how God arranges His body according to His design, not human preference. The pattern of male eldership is rooted not in culture, but in creation, headship and the consistent teaching of both Paul and Peter. This episode encourages all Christians—men and women—to embrace their God given roles with humility, gratitude and purpose, recognizing that leadership in the body of Christ begins and ends with faithful service. Key Takeaways • New Testament women served powerfully, but none are shown holding the office of elder. • Gifts and offices are different: gifts show ability; offices show responsibility. • Pentecost demonstrated God's power, not a change in church leadership structure. • Competency is not the issue—God's design and order are. • Headship is rooted in creation, not culture. • Every Christian can lead by example, regardless of role.

37% of HR leaders are already saying that evaluating AI skills in candidates is going to be a real challenge. Hiring has always required us to assess things that are hard to measure, but AI is moving so fast that what you're looking for this week might be completely different next month!  In this episode, I sat down with Kristin Russum, Director of Organizational Development at TriNet, to get into the real question: how do you actually hire for AI competency when the skill set is still being defined in real time?  We talked behavioral interview strategies, the bias risks that not enough people are talking about, why curiosity might be the most important thing you can hire for right now, and what you can actually do immediately to update your process! 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:03 - Why is Evaluating AI Skills and Candidates So Much Harder than Assessing Other Technical Skills? 00:07:25 - What Does Hiring an AI Competent Candidate Look Like Right Now? 00:19:47 - How to Deal With the Built-in Bias of AI Usage in Hiring 00:25:27 - Practical Changes You Can Make to Your Hiring Proess Immediately 00:33:06 - One Thing Every HR Leader Who Feels Behind on AI Should Know --- Running a small business is hard, and HR should not get in the way.

The Enneagram Harmonic Triads place you into one of three groups based on how you respond to conflict, disappointment, and things not going your way. And those things are happening multiple times a day, which means whatever strategy you reach for is running constantly, probably without you ever noticing it. When you learn which group you are in, it tends to be one of those aha moments where you finally name something you have been doing your whole life.In this episode:The three groups (Positive Outlook, Competency, Reactive) and which types belong to eachHow each type inside each group handles disappointment differentlyWhat happens when types from different groups try to work through a hard moment togetherHow to use your harmonic group as a typing tool when you are stuck between two typesThe gift of each group, and the shadow side that costs you when you cannot see itWho this is for: Anyone trying to figure out their type, anyone who has ever wondered why a hard conversation with someone you love keeps going sideways, and anyone ready to see their automatic strategy for what it actually is.If you are still in the process of figuring out your type, the Self-Typing Toolkit is built for you.

On tonight's show, I'm joined by Kristin Stitt, Managing Partner of North Alabama Swim Schools and SafeSplash Swim Labs in Huntsville and Madison. Most parents believe they know whether their child can swim. Kristin says the bigger question may be whether a child is truly water competent. With a background in healthcare leadership and a passion for drowning prevention, Kristin is helping families understand that swim lessons are only one part of the picture. We'll talk about why parents often overestimate swimming ability, the importance of adaptive aquatics, and why swimming may be one of the most valuable investments a family can make for a child's future. We'll also discuss why Kristin calls swimming “the first and forever sport” and how it can build confidence, discipline, emotional health, and life-saving skills that last far beyond the pool.

5.12.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:SCOTUS Clears Ala. Black District Cut. Racist ‘Cotton-Picking’ Attack on Jeffries. Trump Competency Questions Grow The Supreme Court's conservative majority has cleared the way for Alabama to revert to a congressional map that includes only one majority-Black district, eliminating Congressman Shomari Figures' seat. I'll speak with him about his commitment to fight for his position. In South Carolina, lawmakers are considering a proposed congressional map that would remove a Democratic-leaning seat currently held by Representative Jim Clyburn. Virginia Representative Jen Kiggans, a white Republican, is facing backlash for agreeing with a conservative radio host who urged Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries to get his "cotton-picking hands off Virginia." We will also examine the historical reasons the Black unemployment rate has consistently been higher than the overall unemployment rate, even during periods of economic strength. The competency of Donald Trump, the twice-impeached and criminally convicted former president, is being questioned once more. He recently called a Black reporter an offensive name and fell asleep during an Oval Office event.

Invest in the Capable Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The team is often the key indicator of a successful startup. In startup investing, look for competency and experience in the team. Competency and experience can be a relative thing. There's an old saying in the angel world, Invest in the A team working on a B project. The team's skills are more than enough to accomplish the task at hand. For the startup under consideration, understand well the skills required for it to be a success. Look for the skills needed in the business, the technical, and the domain area. Missing key skills is often the cause of startup failure. Most everyone's resume shows extensive experience and knowledge. Test out the team's skills by asking questions and giving them a task. Test to see how they solve problems and how they think. Look for how well they know the space and what is going on in it. The ideal team is one that needs no additional help from the investor. Invest in the capable where possible. For all other startups, be prepared to fill in the gaps. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Competency requires using AI tools correctly. Model Rule 1.1 obligates lawyers to be competent in technology they use. Using the wrong tool (e.g., ChatGPT for legal research) isn't just ineffective — it's potentially unethical. Use purpose-built, citation-backed tools like Paxton AI or Perplexity Pro instead.* Billable hours are becoming ethically questionable. Model Rule 1.5 Comment 5 prohibits billing by the hour using “wasteful procedures.” If AI can do 10 hours of work in 10 minutes, continuing to bill by the hour may violate your ethical obligations. The billable hour model is fundamentally at odds with AI-driven efficiency.* Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is the gold standard. The most reliable AI outputs come from tools that retrieve from a curated database before generating a response. Tools like NotebookLM Pro (upload your own sources) or Paxton AI (legal case law database) minimize hallucinations and provide citable, verifiable answers.* Context is everything. Telling an AI who you are, who you represent, and what you need dramatically improves output quality. Treating AI like a brilliant but new employee — giving it context, iterating, and reviewing its work — is the right mental model for effective use.* The subscription model is the path forward. With 77% of people unable to afford hourly legal fees, there's a trillion-dollar latent legal market. Subscription-based pricing offers predictable revenue, scales without more hiring, reduces burnout, and lets lawyers serve clients who've been priced out of the billable hour system entirely.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Join me this week and explore Asteya—the yama of non-stealing—reimagined as the practice of building the competence to receive and steward what you truly want. Drawing on Deborah Adele's adikara ("the right to know" or "the right to have") and practical insights from psychology and skill-building, this episode offers metaphors, short practices, and concrete steps to help you notice desire, assess readiness, and grow the capacities needed to hold relationships, money, influence, and more—without shortcutting or harm.

AI is entering residential real estate appraisal faster than most appraisers expected. Many professionals now ask whether using AI violates USPAP. Fear often drives that question, but clarity requires careful thinking. USPAP does not ban tools of any kind. Instead, USPAP governs behavior, judgment, and credibility. Confidentiality remains a real concern. Appraisers must protect private data at all times. Entering sensitive property details into unsecured systems creates risk. Lack of transparency also creates problems. Some AI tools produce answers without showing their reasoning. Appraisers must always explain and support their conclusions. Competency matters as well. USPAP requires appraisers to understand the tools they use. Blind reliance on any system creates exposure. However, not all uses of AI create problems. Many applications simply improve writing, organization, and clarity. Those uses resemble spellcheck or templates and carry minimal risk. The key issue is judgment. Appraisers may use tools, but they cannot outsource decision-making. Value conclusions must always come from the appraiser's own reasoning. Responsibility never shifts to software or automation. Every signed report still reflects the appraiser's professional opinion. Think about a courtroom setting. An attorney may ask how AI influenced the report. Clear, confident answers protect credibility. Weak or uncertain answers create serious problems. Verification and understanding become essential safeguards. Smart appraisers follow three rules. Protect confidential information carefully. Verify every AI-assisted output thoroughly. Disclose meaningful use when appropriate. These steps maintain credibility and compliance. AI is not the violation. Surrendering professional judgment creates the real danger. Appraisers who stay in control will adapt successfully. Those who do not risk losing both credibility and trust.

AI transformation isn't just a tech upgrade—it's a human one. In this episode, Eric Porres (Chief AI Officer at Logitech) pulls back the curtain on what year two of an enterprise-wide AI transformation actually looks like. From shifting mindsets to scaling real adoption, this conversation gets into the messy middle: where curiosity turns into capability, and experimentation starts becoming systems.What stands out is how much of this journey has nothing to do with picking the “right” model—and everything to do with behavior change. Eric shares how Logitech moved from AI curiosity to AI competency, what it takes to build a culture of creators (not just users), and why thinking of AI as a teammate—not a tool—changes everything.Resources from this episode:Join the Digital Project Manager CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Eric on LinkedIn and SubstackCheck out Logitech
