July 8, 2026 - Wednesday Bible Class In this episode Caden walks through the life of Timothy in the New Testament, using his story as a roadmap for how families, mentors, and congregations can develop faithful, effective servants of Christ. Caden outlines four main points — Timothy's upbringing, personality, reputation, and defining traits — and draws connections between biblical examples and practical church life. The episode examines Timothy's spiritual foundation: the influence of his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois, his early acquaintance with Scripture (Acts 16; 2 Timothy 1:5; 3:14–15), and a recent Pew Research study about how household religious practice affects retention. The host stresses the central role of the home in training young people and offers concrete ideas for building a child's faith (attendance, family Bible study, visible example, church involvement). Mentorship is a key theme. The speaker explores Paul's investment in Timothy (Titus 2; Philippians; 1 Corinthians) and the importance of both receiving and giving mentorship. Passages such as Proverbs 1 and 1 Timothy 4 are used to encourage younger and newer Christians to accept teaching, grow in knowledge, and set a godly example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Timothy's personality — commonly understood as timid or shy — is discussed candidly. The class reviews verses that show Paul encouraging Timothy (1 Corinthians 16; 1 Timothy 4; 2 Timothy 1:6–7) and highlights how Timothy overcame fear and insecurity through obedience, faithfulness, and willingness to step outside his comfort zone. Reputation and dependability are analyzed through examples in Acts and Paul's letters. Timothy was well spoken of in Lystra and Iconium, trusted to check on churches and to teach correctly (Acts 16; Philippians 2; 1 Thessalonians; 1 Timothy). The speaker emphasizes how consistent, humble choices build a reputation that opens doors for service. Concrete traits from Timothy's life — devotion to Scripture, faithfulness, selflessness (including his willingness to be circumcised to reach Jews), and sacrificial service — are highlighted as patterns worth imitating. The lesson closes with practical takeaways for listeners: invest in children's spiritual foundations, mentor the young and new, don't let personality or fear prevent service, guard your reputation, remain devoted to study and growth, and live selflessly as Jesus taught (Matthew 16:24). The episode is carried out as an interactive teaching session with audience participation and Q&A moments; there are no external guests. Listeners can expect Scripture-based exposition, real-life examples, statistics to frame the issue, and actionable steps for families and church members who want to raise and mentor the next generation of faithful Christians.

July 12, 2026 - Vacation Bible School Day 1 - Sunday PM Bible Class In this episode Bill leads a lively class-style exploration of the complex relationship between archaeology and the Bible. Bill argues that while archaeology can sometimes corroborate biblical details, it does not "prove" Scripture—the Bible is presented as the ultimate, absolute authority. Listeners are taken through the larger debate over timelines, methodology, and the limits of physical evidence. The program contrasts the modern, roughly 200-year history of archaeology with the Bible's traditional, literal timeline of about 6,000 years, and discusses how those differing chronologies shape interpretations. The speaker highlights that archaeology often raises questions or offers multiple interpretations rather than delivering definitive answers. Concrete case studies are covered in depth: the Exodus narrative, the conquest accounts (Jericho and Ai), debates over the location of Mount Sinai, claims about Pharaoh's army at the Red Sea, and sensational finds like alleged remains of Noah's Ark. The episode flags which of these claims are widely debated or lack direct archaeological confirmation. A major portion of the talk focuses on Hezekiah's Tunnel and the Pool of Siloam: the tunnel's construction, the ancient inscription describing the stonecutters' rendezvous, and how the feature aligns with Old Testament descriptions and later New Testament references (including Jesus' healing at the Pool of Siloam). This segment is presented as a strong example of where biblical description and physical remains converge. Bill explains "burn layers"—strata of destruction in archaeological sites—and uses examples such as Shiloh and Jericho to show how sudden destruction horizons can match biblical accounts of conquest, while also stressing that later rebuilding can obscure earlier events. The theological dimension is emphasized through the story of Rahab as an example of grace appearing amid judgment. The Dead Sea Scrolls receive special attention as one of the most remarkable finds supporting the preservation and reliability of Scripture: nearly 1,000 manuscripts from Qumran, the languages they contain, and their significance for understanding Jewish belief in the Second Temple period and the textual history of the Hebrew Bible. The episode also reviews a handful of corroborating inscriptions and human remains—such as the Pilate Stone, the first-century heel bone with an embedded nail, and the Gallio inscription—illustrating archaeology's role in confirming historical persons, administrative titles, and cultural details mentioned in the New Testament. Throughout the lecture the speaker warns about overhyped or bogus claims and encourages careful, critical investigation. He references modern popular apologetics researchers and online resources (Jonathan Moore; Apologetics Press contributors Kyle and Jeremy Butt, David and Jeff Miller) and mentions plans for travel groups to Israel for those interested in seeing sites firsthand. Key takeaways: archaeology can illuminate and sometimes corroborate biblical narratives, but many discoveries are debated or ambiguous; careful scholarship and discernment are essential; and for the speaker, the archaeological record ultimately points back to the authority and reliability of Scripture. The episode closes with an encouragement to keep digging—both literally in the field and figuratively in God's Word. Duration 30:11

Gold standard PBL isn't a fun project with a poster at the end. Lisa Mireles of PBLWorks explains what a real project based learning classroom looks and sounds like — and how to teach it without falling behind on standards. Lisa Mireles, Ed.D., is Managing Director of Digital Curriculum at PBLWorks (formerly the Buck Institute for Education). She's taught bilingual students in California, led schools in Indonesia and India, served as an IB coordinator, principal, and assistant superintendent, and was named HIDOE Kaua'i Complex Educational Officer of the Year in 2018. In this episode, you'll learn: • What the Gold Standard framework actually contains — seven essential project design elements plus seven project based teaching practices — and why a great project still fails without the teaching moves • What you see and hear in a gold standard PBL classroom: a productive buzz, a project wall with the driving question and milestones, students returning to their need-to-knows, teachers coaching instead of lecturing • Concrete projects outside business and computer science: designing a community microgrid in high school science, designing a custom diamond in middle school geometry, and a second grade community heroes gallery • How PBL turns literacy into an all-day practice — reading, writing, speaking, and listening — rather than something that only happens during the literacy block • Lisa's answer to the time squeeze: coverage isn't enough, and going deeper on power standards teaches more than racing through everything • The principal move worth stealing — have teachers mark what they planned to teach, then revisit after the project to mark what they actually taught deeply. It's always about twice as much. • Where to find more than 100 free project ideas, searchable by grade and subject, that scale up or down for your students Full show notes, resources, and the complete transcript: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e958 If this episode gave you something you can use, take a second to leave a rating or review wherever you're listening.

A stack of donated concrete turns into the kind of motivation every skater understands: you see the missing piece of your setup and suddenly you cannot stop thinking about the line. We're back as the duo today, talking through how we're upgrading my driveway “alleyway” spot with a new quarter pipe and a proper fun box so there's real speed, cleaner flow, and a safer way for our daughters to build confidence. It's part DIY skatepark build, part dad life, and part proof that local skate communities still look out for each other when someone posts a project and actually follows through.Then we zoom out to what's happening around Jacksonville. We hit revitalization, the impact of fixing a food desert with new grocery and retail options, and why the city's art and counterculture feel more welcomed lately. And yes, we go full skate nerd on the under-I-95 skatepark plans near Riverside, breaking down what the renderings show and why the “JAX” features could be an all-time landmark for Jacksonville skateboarding.After the break, it's “News With Idiots” and “Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes.” We react to Steve Harwell and Smash Mouth nostalgia, wade into messy political hypocrisy, and then close with a run of wild decisions that range from darkly tragic to painfully funny. If you like unfiltered conversation, local Jacksonville talk, skate culture, and headline chaos with real opinions behind it, this one's for you.

Welcome to the strangest shift on the radio dial! In this episode of The Other Side of Midnight, host Walter Sterling dives headfirst into modern mysteries and rock-and-roll conspiracies. First, New Mexico broadcaster Eddy Aragon stops by to unpack the bizarre ballistic anomalies, 18-second security sweeps, and concrete cover-ups surrounding the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Then, author Richard Syrett joins the Midnight Misfits to rewrite music history, exploring the mysterious loaded revolver found at Buddy Holly's fatal plane crash and the chilling theory that British intelligence waterboarded Jimi Hendrix with red wine for a massive insurance payout.
Wat heeft een gijzelingsonderhandelaar van de FBI een psychiater te leren? Meer dan je denkt. Leiderschapsexpert en internationaal executive coach Arvid Buit is terug, en dit keer wordt het praktisch. Arvid is opgeleid in de onderhandelingsmethode van oud-FBI-onderhandelaar Chris Voss (Black Swan) en aan Harvard (Negotiation Mastery), en past beide scholen dagelijks toe bij fusies, overnames en bestuurscrises. In deze aflevering vertaalt hij ze naar de spreekkamer en de boardroom. Wat doe je bij een volstrekt onredelijke eis, of die nu van een gijzelnemer, een cliënt in crisis of een bestuursvoorzitter komt? Niet nee zeggen, maar vragen: hoe wil je dat ik dat doe? We oefenen mirroring (de laatste drie woorden herhalen, zonder oordeel) en labelen (benoemen wat je ziet en checken of het klopt). Daarna de Harvard-school: wie de meeste informatie heeft, kan creatief zijn en wint. En laat dat nu precies het pleidooi zijn dat in deze podcast al vaker klonk: neem de tijd, maak die biografie en werk niet op face value. Verder: waarom het Peter Principle ook de psychiatrie teistert (de beleidspsychiater!), waarom onthechte mensen niet hun gevoel maar hun verstand moeten volgen, en hoe een leider de emoties van een hele organisatie reguleert door bij een crisis eerst zelf even adem te halen. Concrete gesprekstechnieken voor hulpverleners in de GGZ, leiders, coaches en iedereen die wel eens met moeilijke mensen aan tafel zit. Dus voor iedereen.

Some of the language we all use in family court every day didn't always exist. The word “co-parenting” is one of them — and the attorney credited with introducing it sits down with us in this conversation. Anne P. Mitchell was one of the first two attorneys in the United States to fight for a child's right to an ongoing relationship with their father after separation, and what she learned across decades in the trenches of high-conflict custody is exactly what targeted parents need to hear today.In this first part of our conversation, Anne walks us through the warning signs that a false allegation of abuse is on its way, the simple steps that protect you before one ever lands, and the co-parent counseling model she helped pioneer — including the surprisingly effective way to get a judge to order it.

Australia is entering a new era of climate accountability. As mandatory carbon reporting becomes law, businesses are being forced to rethink how they measure risk, manage emissions, and remain competitive. At the same time, the explosive growth of AI is driving unprecedented demand for data centres—bringing new questions about energy, water, infrastructure, and the environmental cost of our digital future.In this episode of Light, Cities & Architecture, architect Antony DiMase is joined by sustainability consultant Luke Fernandez and architect Ahmed Elsayed to unpack one of the most significant shifts facing the built environment and Australian industry.Together, they explore Australia's new Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), how climate disclosure requirements are reshaping supply chains and procurement, why architects are increasingly leading sustainability conversations, and what the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure means for communities, energy systems, and climate policy.The discussion also examines the gap between voluntary sustainability initiatives and enforceable regulation, the growing importance of embodied carbon and climate risk in design decisions, and whether our economic models are equipped to deliver a genuinely low-carbon future.This conversation connects architecture, business, technology, governance, and climate into one compelling story about the systems shaping the places we build—and the future we're creating.In this episode you'll discover:Why Australia's mandatory carbon reporting laws are transforming corporate governance.How climate disclosure is reshaping supply chains and procurement.The role architects play in reducing embodied carbon and driving sustainable design.Why AI data centres are becoming one of Australia's fastest-growing environmental challenges.The policy gaps between digital infrastructure growth and climate responsibility.Why legislation—not voluntary action—is emerging as the key driver of meaningful emissions reduction.How new economic thinking, including Doughnut Economics, challenges traditional models of growth.Whether you're an architect, engineer, sustainability professional, business leader, policymaker, or simply curious about the intersection of climate, technology, and the built environment, this episode offers valuable insights into one of Australia's most important transitions."This isn't just about carbon reporting or data centres—it's about how we design the systems that determine what kind of future we build."https://www.finance.gov.au/government/public-data/data-and-digital-ministers-meeting/national-framework-assurance-artificial-intelligence-governmenthttps://www.digital.gov.au/ai/ai-in-government-policyhttps://new.gbca.org.au/news/gbca-media-releases/gbca-launches-sustainable-data-centres-program/Special Offer: ASRS Essentials CPDTo celebrate the podcast, Luke is offering free access to the ASRS Essentials CPD for the first 20 registrations.First 20 people: Free with coupon code ARCH-CPDAfter the first 20: Regular price $87

Original Air Date: July 18, 2026 Episode Number: 468Episode SummarySome exterior surfaces are one-way doors. You can paint them -- but once you do, something changes permanently, or close enough to it that you should know what you're signing up for before you start. Dan opens with a story about a pair of jeans he turned into extremely short shorts without measuring first, and uses it to frame a conversation about five exterior surfaces where the same logic applies: brick, foundation, natural stone, decks, and vinyl siding.Timestamps[00:00] -- Points of No Return[00:56] -- Jorts Origin Story[02:31] -- Cut Once, Regret[06:06] -- Neighbor Catches You[07:30] -- Painting One-Way Doors[10:40] -- Brick Painting Reality[14:03] -- Brick Breathability and Options[15:17] -- Foundation Paint Tradeoffs[17:00] -- Moisture and Cracks Warning[18:54] -- Natural Stone Teaser[19:38] -- Natural Stone Risks[21:33] -- Updating Dated Stone[22:40] -- Resale Impact Warning[24:04] -- Why Deck Paint Fails[25:18] -- Stain vs. Paint[27:32] -- Removing Deck Paint[28:57] -- Vinyl Siding Setup[31:58] -- Color, Heat, and Warping[35:04] -- Vinyl Safe Colors[36:41] -- Best Practice Checklist[37:28] -- Get Expert Help[38:21] -- Car Show Wrap UpThe Jorts Story [00:56]Dan had a pair of blown-out jeans he decided to cut into work shorts. He eyeballed the cut instead of measuring. Part of his brain told him not to. He ignored it. The resulting shorts were dramatically too short -- Daisy Dukes, his word -- and he wore them up a ladder in the backyard because there was no other option. His neighbor appeared, smirked, and delivered the full measure-twice-cut-once speech. No photos exist.Brick [10:40]Painted brick is permanent for all practical purposes. Stripping paint off brick is expensive and usually damages the face. That means when you paint brick, you're not just picking a color -- you're becoming a painted brick house, likely forever.Two other things to keep in mind: you're creating maintenance that didn't exist before (a painted surface will need refreshing every 5-10 years), and you need the right product. Standard paint can trap moisture inside the masonry, and in Michigan winters, freeze-thaw cycles can cause spalling -- the face of the brick literally flaking off.For a better option, RepcoLite carries Roma Bio Limewash and Roma Bio Mineral Paint. Both are breathable and bond with the brick rather than sitting on top of it. They create a great old-world look and mostly sidestep the moisture problems. Still a point of no return, but a much lower-maintenance one.Foundation [15:17]Same logic as brick. Concrete block and poured concrete are porous and move moisture. Once you paint them, you're on a maintenance cycle. Before painting, address any efflorescence (white, fuzzy salt deposits), persistent peeling, or visible water intrusion -- paint won't fix those, it'll just cover the symptoms. And don't paint over foundation cracks without understanding what caused them. Ayers Basement Systems can evaluate for free in most cases.Natural Stone [19:38]What makes natural stone beautiful is the variation -- every piece is different, the light catches the texture differently, it has depth. Painting it covers all of that. The texture stays, but the richness is gone. Sometimes painted stone looks great. Sometimes it ends up looking a little fake. Worth thinking about before you open the can.If the stone is genuinely dated and you want to update it, a solid color is a reasonable fix -- but if you're planning to sell the house soon, be cautious. There's a portion of buyers who will see painted-over fieldstone as a problem. Since getting that paint back off is essentially the same story as brick, it's their problem too.Decks [24:04]A deck is one of the harshest environments on a property. Rain, snow, sun, foot traffic, patio furniture -- it's brutal on a film-forming coating like paint. When deck paint eventually fails, it chips, cracks, and peels, and refreshing it means scraping and sanding before you can recoat. It's a much harder maintenance cycle than most people expect going in.For most decks, a quality deck stain is a better answer. It wears out by fading, and when it's time to refresh, you clean and recoat. For decks in rough enough shape that you need solid coverage, look at WoodLux or RepcoLite WoodMaster -- both deliver an opaque look but form a thinner, more breathable coating than paint that handles the wood's expansion and contraction better.If you've already got paint on a deck and need to remove it, RepcoLite rents a floor sander that's built for the job. It's still not fun, but it's the best option available.Vinyl Siding [28:57]The point of no return here is color. Darker colors absorb more heat. If the new color you choose is significantly darker than the original vinyl color, the panels can absorb enough heat to expand beyond what they're designed for -- causing warping, buckling, or sagging. Once that happens, it's permanent. Repainting lighter can slow or stop it from getting worse, but won't undo what's already warped. This is not rare. Look at houses in your neighborhood and you'll find examples.Benjamin Moore has a collection of about 75 vinyl safe colors formulated with pigments that reflect more infrared heat, so a darker-looking color doesn't absorb heat the same way a standard formula would. These are a real step forward -- but they're not a blank check. The quality and thickness of your vinyl, your sun exposure, and whether you're using the right paint product all factor in. Vinyl safe colors are intended for use in Regal Select, Aura, or Element Guard specifically.Dan's checklist: check your vinyl manufacturer's repainting recommendations, use a Benjamin Moore vinyl safe color, use it in Regal Select, Aura, or Element Guard, and don't push dramatically darker than the original color if you can help it.Bottom Line [37:28]For any of these surfaces, stop into any RepcoLite before you start. Bring pictures, bring samples, bring whatever you've got. The staff can help you work through the right product, the right color, and the right approach so you're not finding out what you didn't know on the back end of a project you can't undo.EventsCar show at Lakewood RepcoLite -- July 18, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, and the Corvette Club.

For years, Eric Cooper of Forest Moon Paranormal, based in Concrete, Washington, has investigated some of the Pacific Northwest's most intriguing mysteries. From haunted locations and ghostly encounters to cryptid sightings, Sasquatch reports, UFO activity, and claims of extraterrestrial contact and abduction, Eric has dedicated himself to searching for answers where conventional explanations often fall short. His investigations combine traditional field research with an open mind, allowing him to examine the strange through multiple lenses while documenting evidence from some of the region's most active paranormal hotspots.Tonight on Spaced Out Radio, Eric joins Dave Scott to explore a compelling question that continues to challenge researchers around the world: Are ghosts, Bigfoot, UFOs, ET encounters, and other unexplained phenomena all connected? The conversation dives into remote viewing, consciousness, and the possibility that these seemingly separate mysteries may stem from the same underlying source. If the paranormal is more interconnected than we've ever imagined, what does that reveal about our reality—and our place within it? Prepare for a fascinating discussion that crosses the boundaries of the unexplained.Spaced Out Radio is your nightly source for alternative information, starting at 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern.

VISIT CONCRETESCHOOL.CO TO START LEARNING TODAY.ON THIS EPISODE OF THE CONCRETE LOGIC PODCASTAre we specifying air entrainment in concrete that does not need it?Seth is joined by Dr. Bruno Fong Martinez, Baker Construction's concrete materials expert, to examine when air entrainment protects concrete and when it creates unnecessary problems.Air entrainment improves durability where concrete experiences repeated freezing, thawing, and moisture saturation. But Bruno argues that the industry often requires it in climates where that exposure does not exist.That decision can reduce compressive strength, complicate testing, change mix performance, and contribute to rejected trucks and wasted material.The conversation challenges engineers and contractors to move beyond copied specifications and evaluate air requirements based on the actual environment, exposure, and project risk.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN · The difference between entrapped air and entrained air · How air voids help protect saturated concrete during freezing · Why freeze-thaw damage depends on repeated freezing and thawing cycles · Why colder locations do not always experience the most freeze-thaw damage · How air entrainment complicates concrete production and acceptance testing · Why air content can change during transportation, mixing, and pumping · How additional air can reduce compressive strength · Why strength loss may lead to more cement and greater thermal concerns · How freezing and precipitation maps could improve regional specifications · Why copied specifications can require air in environments that do not need it · How early specification reviews and RFIs can reduce waste and concrete problemsCHAPTERS (00:00) Introduction and support for the show (03:34) Why unnecessary air entrainment matters (05:07) Where air may and may not be necessary (06:27) Entrapped air versus entrained air (09:21) How air protects concrete during freezing (11:40) Why freeze-thaw cycles matter (12:48) Testing, rejected trucks, and concrete waste (14:41) Strength loss and contractor concerns (16:05) What happens to air during pumping (17:22) Mapping freezing and saturation risk (19:24) Why copied specifications create problems (22:15) Building industry agreement around air entrainment (24:25) Guest information and final takeawaysGUEST INFO Dr. Bruno Fong Martinez Concrete Materials Expert Baker Construction Guest link: https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/guests/bruno-fong-martinez/CONCRETE LOGIC ACADEMY The people who understand concrete are the people who get listened to.

Correction: In this episode I refer to INSPIRE's roadmap as created by Community Catalyst. In fact, Community Catalyst is one of five organizations in the INSPIRE coalition, which—along with six parents with lived experience—collectively authored the report. You can see the full list of contributors.For reference, INSPIRE's organization and lived experience parents are all listed here: A roadmap for effective community engagement in healthcare: Final report from INSPIRE Phase 1 - Camden Coalition Overview: We explore the difference between superficial and real community engagement in healthcare with guests Rebecca and Stephanie, both experienced patient advocates who share their personal stories of navigating complex health systems and channeling their experiences into advocacy work. We discuss the importance of authentic partnership, meaningful compensation for lived experience, and the nine dimensions of effective engagement outlined by the Inspire project—trust-based, asset-based, inclusive, integrated, mutually beneficial, resourced and compensated, transformational, and restorative approaches. We highlight practical strategies for organizations to operationalize engagement, the power of trust as a currency, and the need for diverse and relentless voices to drive change. Concrete examples of patient-centered initiatives and the challenges of balancing systemic change with individual needs round out our conversation on making healthcare more responsive and equitable for all. Three Takeaways: 1. Engagement Must Be Real, Not Performative Rebecca Esparza specifically calls out that patient engagement needs to go “beyond tokenism”—it's not just holding a party, sending a survey, or checking a box. Instead, authentic engagement involves patients as true partners in decision-making, not just as a gesture for appearance. 2. Compensation for Lived Experience is Crucial Stephanie highlights that organizations often struggle to fairly compensate people for sharing their lived experience. She stresses that asking for “time, treasure and trauma” without compensation is unacceptable, as patients relive difficult moments for the benefit of the system 3) Mutual Benefit and Impact Must Be Evident Stephanie refuses to participate in projects without tangible impact, emphasizing that engagement is only worthwhile if it leads to real change. She looks for clear evidence—such as organizations reporting back how patient feedback resulted in concrete action References:INSPIRE Report: A Roadmap to Authentic Community Engagement — PFCCpartners Next Step: Visit our website, Healthcare for Humans, and join our community to enjoy exclusive benefits at https://www.healthcareforhumans.org/support/ Support Our Mission: Non-clinicians, explore exclusive content and contribute to our collective journey.

Can the work outlive the man enough to forgive him? Frank Lloyd Wright designed the homes that quietly shaped how millions of Americans live — and he was, by nearly every account, a genuinely difficult person to love. David (Black Sheep Makery, Big Dudu, Dudetunes) joins me to trace Wright's life from a childhood box of wooden blocks to Fallingwater, the Guggenheim, and a tragedy at his own home that killed seven people. We use his story to ask a bigger question: when the art is this good, does the artist's life even matter — and where do we draw that line today?

Noam Segal is a longtime research leader across Airbnb, Meta, Twitter, Zapier, Intercom, and Figma, a certified coach, AI builder, and my community research lead. Together, we run the annual Tech Worker Sentiment Survey, now in its second year and one of the largest of its kind: a quantitative study of how people in tech actually feel about their jobs, AI, burnout, and the future of their careers. This year's survey captured responses from thousands of workers across product, engineering, design, research, marketing, data, and sales, and the results are striking.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why AI has split the tech workforce almost exactly in half—one half that's thriving, another that's shaken2. The four emotional archetypes defining tech workers right now (the Energized, the Conflicted, the Disoriented, and the Resentful)3. Why burnout has jumped an alarming 11 points in a single year4. Why nobody in tech would recommend their job to someone entering the industry today5. The #1 fear in tech right now (it's not job loss to AI)6. Why managers are the single biggest lever for employee well-being7.

If you live in a city, you've probably had that moment in the middle of the night. You hear a scratching in the walls, or you catch the glowing eyes of a raccoon peering out from a dumpster, and for a second, the concrete world feels a lot less 'controlled' than we like to pretend. We've been taught to think of cities as 'biological deserts'—places where nature goes to die. But my guest today, Dan Werb, says that's a myth we tell ourselves to feel safe. Dan is an award-winning epidemiologist and a musician, and in his new book, Our Wild Familiars, he explores the 'synanthropes'—the wild creatures that aren't our pets, but aren't quite strangers either. They are the coyotes, the bats, and even the octopuses that are learning to use our cities as laboratories for their own rapid evolution. He's also the author of The Invisible Siege and City of Omens.(0:02) The unexpected biodiversity of urban areas and wild familiars(1:18) What is a Synanthrope?(4:15) The Myth of the Biological Desert(8:04) The Ancestral Bond between early humans, ravens, and foxes(9:15) Crows and Grudges(12:42) Stepping Stones in the Concrete(14:20) The Epidemiological Triangle(17:58) The Illusion of AI Connection(19:56) The Museum of MemoryEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast
In 2003, construction workers smashing up the basement of a former Manhattan nightclub broke through a slab of concrete and uncovered a rolled rug, a skull, and the bound, strangled remains of a teenage girl no one could name. For more than twenty years she was “Midtown Jane Doe,” a mystery buried under Hell's Kitchen, until forensic genealogy finally matched her degraded DNA to a 9/11 victim's mother and revealed she was 16‑year‑old Patricia Kathleen McGlone from Brooklyn, a runaway bride and new mother who was never even reported missing.Now investigators know Patricia married musician Donald Grant and that his address was the very building where her body was entombed in concrete, making him a key person of interest but her husband, her baby, and her killer have all vanished into the same silence that kept her hidden for decades.
What makes one concrete mix safer than another? How soon should you trust a sealer? And what should "perfect" concrete actually look like? In this episode of The Concrete Podcast, Brandon Gore and Jon Schuler tackle three conversations every concrete countertop maker, GFRC fabricator, and decorative concrete artisan should hear. First, they separate fact from fiction around crystalline silica, explaining why respirable crystalline silica is the real hazard, why many manufacturers blur the conversation, and why reducing long-term exposure is one of the smartest investments you can make in your health and your business. Next, they break down proper concrete sealer application, highlighting practical techniques and common mistakes that can make or break the final result. Finally, they explore one of the most important lessons in craftsmanship: calibrating expectations. What separates authentic character from poor workmanship? When should you embrace a tiny pinhole, and when is it a sign that something went wrong?

JOIN THE ACADEMY! VISIT CONCRETESCHOOL.CO TO START LEARNING TODAY. ON THIS EPISODE OF THE CONCRETE LOGIC PODCAST Does exterior concrete always need entrained air to survive freezing and thawing? Seth is joined by Jason Adams, founder and CEO of Mega Slab, to challenge that long-standing practice. Jason argues that a properly designed, highly dense concrete system may limit water intrusion enough to reduce the need for entrained air. Seth presses on the risks, including mix design, workability, finishing, curing, and specification requirements. Jason makes clear that he is not recommending contractors simply remove air from a standard mix. His approach depends on treating the concrete as a complete system. The episode asks a practical question: Should exterior concrete be designed to give freezing water room to expand, or should the priority be keeping water out in the first place? WHAT YOU'LL LEARN What air entrainment is intended to do during freeze-thaw exposureThe difference between entrained air and naturally entrapped airWhy Jason believes entrained air can reduce concrete densityHow dense concrete may limit water and chloride intrusionWhy removing air from a standard exterior mix is not enoughHow aggregate packing and optimized mix designs affect permeabilityWhy air-entrained concrete should not be hard-trowel finishedHow entrained air can affect workability and finishingWhy specifications and established practices may resist this approachWhat field performance Jason has observed in Midwestern pavementsWhy mix design, placement, finishing, curing, and fibers must work as a system CHAPTERS (00:00) Introduction and support for the show (03:24) Jason Adams and the air-void question (04:56) Freeze-thaw testing and ASTM standards (05:46) What air entrainment is designed to do (07:26) Jason challenges the traditional approach (08:52) Can dense concrete keep water out?

Not the loudest person in the meeting. Not the person saying, “We have always done it this way.” The person who understands why air, water, density, finishing, and curing affect performance usually has the most valuable voice in the room.

Concrete joins "The @smoothvega Podcast" On this episode we discuss the Journey That Shaped Concrete in his most honest conversation yet. Like. Comment. Follow.
Concrete has shaped the modern world in ways most people rarely notice. This episode explores the history of concrete, how it is made, why it became one of the most widely used building materials on Earth, and how engineers continue to use it to create everything from roads and bridges to dams and skyscrapers. Along the way, you'll hear about ancient Roman construction, cement production, reinforced concrete, and the science behind structures designed to last for generations. It's steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!

You sit down to work on your business, not in it, but on it. Two hours later you have a 14-page Google Doc, a color-coded spreadsheet, and a project management system you've never opened before. And you haven't done a single thing that moves the needle. That's not preparation. That's procrastination with lipstick on it. Over-planning is fear in disguise and it's the number one thing keeping smart entrepreneurs stuck. In this solo episode, George breaks down why concrete actions always beat elaborate strategies, the real cost of waiting until you feel ready, and the simple 24-hour rule that breaks the planning loop for good. This one pairs directly with last week's 3M capacity episode. Together, they're a daily execution playbook. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why over-planning is procrastination dressed up and how to spot it in yourself The Jeff Bezos 70% rule: why waiting for certainty kills momentum The three things small concrete actions give you that strategies never can Why clarity comes after action, not before it The 24-hour rule: one question that breaks any planning loop How to separate ideas worth pursuing from ones that only sound good on paper Why the market, not your Google Doc, is the only thing that gives you real data Key Takeaways: ✔️A perfect plan you never execute is just a very expensive journal entry. ✔️19% of businesses fail due to weak execution, not bad ideas, bad products, or bad markets. ✔️Most decisions should be made with about 70% of the information you wish you had. Waiting for 100% means the moment passes and the fear grows. ✔️Small, concrete actions create three things strategies never do: feedback, momentum, and clarity. ✔️Clarity is not a prerequisite for action. It is almost always a byproduct of it. You cannot think your way into clarity, you act your way into it. ✔️The 24-hour rule: anytime you find yourself over-planning, ask one question, what's the one thing I can do in the next 24 hours that gives me a piece of data to know if this is worth pursuing? ✔️Over-planning beyond a reasonable window is never about being thorough. There's usually something underneath it, fear of rejection, fear of failure, or fear of finding out. ✔️The market is the only one that decides if you win. Build the feedback loop with them, not around them. ✔️Stack this with the 3M model from last episode: must move, must maintain, must release. Together they're a daily execution system.

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
Should Conversion Therapy Be Protected Speech? What Chiles v. Salazar Means for Conversion Therapy Bans and the Future of the Profession In Chiles v. Salazar, the Supreme Court ruled 8 to 1 that a therapist's talk therapy is protected speech, putting state conversion therapy bans at risk. Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT break down what the March 31, 2026 decision actually says, what it does not say, and what it means for therapists who work with LGBTQ+ clients. The Court did not call conversion therapy safe, effective, or ethical, and it did not make the practice mandatory. It treated talk therapy as speech rather than regulable conduct, and sent Colorado's ban back to the lower courts for stricter First Amendment review. Curt and Katie walk through the strict scrutiny test at the center of the case, the Kagan and Sotomayor concurrence, and Justice Jackson's dissent, then sit with the harder question: what happens to the profession when the state can no longer set a guardrail on harmful practice before harm has occurred. Released during Pride Month, this is a candid, values-forward conversation about protecting LGBTQ+ clients and practicing affirming, anti-conversion-therapy care out loud. In this episode, we discuss: - What the Chiles v. Salazar ruling does, and does not, change about conversion therapy bans - Why the Court treated talk therapy as protected speech instead of medical treatment - How the strict scrutiny test decided the case - Where the concurrence and the dissent point the profession next - Concrete ways to signal affirming, anti-conversion-therapy care in your practice Full show notes and resources: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann: https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano: https://groomsymusic.com/

One of the challenges of modern legal journalism is recalling that case law, doctrine, and Supreme Court decisions aren't a complete picture, without including the lived realities of the people whose lives and communities are often turned upside down by changes in the law.On Tuesday night, the Supreme Court's far-right flank vastly expanded its holding in Louisiana v. Callais to make it harder, if not impossible, to challenge racist voting maps designed to suppress Black votes. The shadow-docket decision misrepresented its own holding in Callais and discarded a case it had already decided. With the conservative supermajority tossing a lower-court panel's finding in Allen v. Milligan and further erasing voting rights for Black Americans across the country, Amicus revisits our 2022 conversation with Evan Milligan, the named plaintiff, at the time the case first came to the high court. Milligan explained what's at stake for the very real people living in gerrymandered districts in Alabama's Black Belt region; a gerrymander blessed this week that was forbidden just three years ago.Later, Dahlia Lithwick talks with Andrew Weissmann, an MS NOW legal analyst, NYU law professor, and veteran federal prosecutor who served as lead prosecutor under special counsel Robert S. Mueller and as chief of the DOJ's Fraud Section. Even with Opinionpalooza heating up at the high court, Weissmann pauses to analyze a busy week in democratic dismantling at the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill. And, Weissmann proposes something truly shocking— real accountability for public officials who lie, as laid out in his new bestselling book, Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America.
