Podcasts about Conference

As we wrap up the year, I'm joined by Kevin Johnson, Max Ceron, and Frankie Vargas for our annual end-of-year cross-pod roundtable. We talk candidly about FabTech, the real ROI of in-person podcasting, and why live shows don't always move the needle the way people expect. Kevin breaks down what went into this year's Fabricator Olympics, what he learned running a large-scale event, and why organization and efficiency matter just as much in events as they do in fabrication shops. We also dig into arc-on time, shop inefficiencies, and why welding is often only a small percentage of what a welder actually does day to day. The conversation shifts into the welding labor shortage and skills gap—where those numbers come from, whether they're accurate, and why retention, culture, apprenticeships, and shop conditions matter just as much as recruiting new welders. We also cover why so many welders leave the hood for other roles, how benefits factor into pay decisions, and what schools and employers need to change if they want people to stay in the trade. This is an honest, unscripted conversation about where the industry really is—and where it needs to go next.   Arc Junkies Podcast: Instagram: @Arcjunkiespodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arcjunkiespodcast9253 Email: Show@arcjunkies.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-becker-45407b72?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BKipEwR3uQXCmCjaEfNzo6w%3D%3D Arc Junkies Website: https://arcjunkies.com Arc junkies Merch: https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home Underground Metal Works: https://www.underground-metalworks.com/   Friends of the Show: American Welding Society Conferences Inspection Expo and Conference https://www.aws.org/community-and-events/conferences-and-events/inspection-expo-and-conference/ Use ARCJUNKIES at Checkout and get a free gift at the event.   Outlaw Leather LLC Outlawleather.com Instagram: @outlawleatherusa Use ARCJUNKIES for 15% off all in-stock leather goods     Everlast Welders Instagram: @everlastwelders  YouTube: Everlast Welders         Online: https://bit.ly/37xJstI Use Codeword ARCJUNKIES at checkout to get upgraded to a free Nova Foot Pedal and TIG Torch with the purchase of any machine that comes with a stock foot pedal and TIG Torch.

POTSDAM, STALIN, AND THE COLD WAR Colleague Evan Thomas. At the Potsdam Conference, President Truman initially excluded Henry Stimson from meetings, favoring Jimmy Byrnes, who wanted to use the bomb to intimidate the Soviet Union. Truman wrote in his diary that the bomb would hit a purely military target, a claim Thomassuggests was a form of denial regarding the inevitable civilian deaths. Stimson urged Truman to trust the Soviets and share the weapon to prevent an arms race, but the administration ultimately chose to use the bomb as diplomatic leverage, foreshadowing the onset of the Cold War.

FOCOLARE WORD OF LIFE January 2026   “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.” (Eph 4:4)During the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity,[1] we are invited to focus our attention on a particular theme found in Paul's letter to the Ephesians. In what is called to be his “prison letters,” he urges his readers to give credible witness to their faith by being united with one another. Their unity is based on having one faith, one spirit and one hope, and only with this unity can they bear witness to Christ as “a body.”   “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.”Paul calls us to hope. What is hope and why are we invited to live it? It is a seed, a gift, and a task that we have the duty to protect, cultivate, and bring to fruition for the good of all. “Christian hope assigns us to that very narrow ridge, that frontier where our vocation requires us to choose, every day and every hour, to be faithful to God's faithfulness to us.”[2] The Christian vocation is not only a relationship between the individual and God. A Christian is called to love everyone who is a neighbor in the present moment. Christ prayed in the garden just before he was crucified, “I pray for them…so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me…” (Jn 17:21)  In Chiara Lubich's talks and writings, we often find explicit references to unity, the primary aspect of her spirituality. Unity is the fruit of the presence of Jesus among us - and his presence is a source of profound happiness. “If unity is so important for Christians, then it follows that nothing is more opposed to our vocation than failing to live unity. We sin against unity every time we yield to the temptation, which continually resurfaces, to be individualistic, to do things on our own, or to be guided only by our own judgment, personal interests, or desire for esteem. We sin against unity when we ignore or even disregard others and their needs and rights.”[3]   “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.”   In Guatemala, there is a very active dialogue among members of different Christian Churches. Ramiro writes: “We prepared the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity with a group of people from various Churches. The program included an arts festival organized together with the youth, as well as several celebrations held in different churches. The Catholic Bishops' Conference asked our group to continue working together to plan a moment of sharing during a meeting of Catholic bishops and leaders of different Churches, who were coming to Guatemala from many other countries to celebrate the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. Through these activities, we experienced a very strong unity among all of us and the fruits that it brings: fraternity, joy and peace." The more united Christians become, the greater the possibility for all humanity to fulfill, in a more complete way, the prayer for unity that Christ prayed in the garden.     Prepared by Patrizia Mazzola and the Word of Life team[1] The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity takes place throughout the northern hemisphere from January 18 to 25 and in the southern hemisphere during the week after Pentecost. This year's prayer texts were prepared by an ecumenical group coordinated by the Armenian Apostolic Church.[2] Madeleine Delbrêl, French Catholic author, poet, and mystic, considered by many to be one of the most significant spiritual figures of the 20th century.[3] Chiara Lubich, Founder of the Focolare Movement, Commentary to the Word of Life of July 1985.

This is the time of year when we share with you some excerpts from the most recent University of South Carolina Darla Moore School of Business Economic Outlook Conference. Today's excerpt comes from Doug Woodward, professor of economics, Darla Moore School of Business.

Is the Big 12 truly on the outside looking in? The common narrative says the new-look Big 12 Football Conference is a step above the Group of Five, but nowhere near the "P2" of the SEC and Big Ten... and that narrative is DEAD WRONG! On this episode of Couz's Corner, we're diving deep into the Big 12 vs SEC Big 10 debate to expose why the league is stronger and closer to elite status than you've been led to believe. I break down the true strength of the new-look Big 12. But that's not all! In the second segment, we take a trip back to the BCS Era to dissect one of the most misunderstood leagues in history: the Old Big East Football conference. After top programs like Virginia Tech and the Miami Hurricanes departed, was the Big East still a force? I explain why that late-era Big East was significantly underrated and why its legacy doesn't get appreciated. Which take is hotter? Drop your thoughts on the Big 12's status and the legacy of Big East Football in the comments!

Welcome back to UnMASKing with Male Educators. As we reflect and look ahead, we're revisiting one of the most personal and vulnerable episodes of the podcast, a re-release of Episode 42.Ashanti shares an honest journey through a 30-day detox that became much more than a health reset. It became a mirror, revealing how food, work, service, and self-neglect can quietly take control when we're carrying the weight of leadership, community care, and purpose-driven work.This episode invites listeners to consider how toxins don't just live in our bodies, they also live in our systems, including our schools. Ashanti connects personal wellness, burnout, masculinity, and emotional labor to the urgent need for proactive care for educators and young people, especially young men.As we prepare for what's next with Ever Forward Club and the Million Mask Movement, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask an essential question:Who takes care of the caregivers?How food, work, and service can become coping mechanismsWhat it means to reclaim health while leading othersWhy self-care is not selfish, it's necessary for sustainabilityThe connection between personal detox and detoxifying school cultureHow unaddressed emotional pain shows up in classrooms and communitiesWhy proactive care for young men is urgent, not optional(0:00) Reflection on re-releasing Episode 42(2:30) Early relationship with food, family, and service(6:45) The 30-day detox and what surfaced emotionally(10:30) Weight, health scares, and confronting personal limits(14:30) Why we need people who check in on us honestly(17:50) Educator burnout and the cost of always “being strong”(22:00) The role of Ever Forward Club and community care(23:00) More on the 30-day detox(28:50) Schools in crisis vs. schools doing proactive wellness work(34:50) Why detoxifying schools requires honesty and courage(39:15) The data behind the Global Young Men's Conference(43:50) The Million Mask Movement as a tool for healing(48:30) A call to action: supporting young men and educators(51:00) Closing reflections and looking ahead to 2026“You can't be of service if your body is falling apart.”This conversation reminds us that emotional suppression, overwork, and silence come at a cost — and that healing must happen inside ourselves before it can happen in our schools.Support the Work:Create your own mask anonymously: https://millionmask.orgLearn about the Global Young Men's Conference: https://everforwardclub.orgSupport Ever Forward Club's mission: https://everforwardclub.orgConnect with Ashanti Branch:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksTwitter: https://twitter.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/As we close out the year and prepare for what's ahead, we invite you to listen with care, reflect honestly, and consider one step you can take toward greater health — for yourself, and for the young people and communities you serve.Thank you for being part of UnMASKing with Male Educators.

When Kevin Kelly dropped out of college in the 1970s, it was almost unheard of. Instead of following a traditional path, he chose a life driven by curiosity, freedom, and hands-on learning. That decision led him to hitchhike across Asia, document disappearing cultures, and eventually immerse himself in the early internet. Years later, he co-founded Wired, a magazine that soon became the voice of emerging technology and culture. In this episode, Kevin joins Ilana to share how Wired went from fighting for shelf space to redefining what a tech publication could be. He also explains his unique relationship with time, why he tracks the days he has left, and how creators today can thrive with just 1,000 true fans. Kevin Kelly is a writer, photographer, and Senior Maverick at Wired, an award-winning magazine he co-founded in 1993. He is also a former editor and publisher of the Whole Earth Review and the author of multiple bestselling books about the future of technology.

This year's AWS re:Inforce conference was larger and fueled by greater agentic capabilities. Part of the 451 Research team that was at the conference, Henry Baltazar, Scott Crawford, William Fellows and Melanie Posey, join host Eric Hanselman to explore the announcements and progress that's been made in expanding agentic capabilities and much more. As an incumbent infrastructure provider, AWS is looking to the top of the infrastructure stack to secure their advantage. A suite of developer tools, including the Kiro IDE, are looking to make the creation and operation of agents simpler. There was progress in FinOps, with greater cost transparency and support for partner opportunities in helping customers manage their cloud spend.   There was also a more enthusiastic embrace of multicloud environments, with the introduction of AWS Interconnect, a service that provides easy and scalable interconnection with other cloud providers, with Google being the first and Microsoft Azure said to be in the works. 451 Research's Voice of the Enterprise (VotE) data shows dramatic increases in data migration volumes, making interconnection performance more critical.
