Podcasts about Contingencies

Modern warfare is no longer defined by who has the biggest force, but by who can adapt the fastest. The battlefield is changing in real time through artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, cyber capabilities, and the speed of information. But even in the most advanced operating environments, victory still comes down to disciplined leaders, trusted teams, and soldiers prepared to make decisions under pressure when everything is on the line.The responsibility for America's rapid response to any crisis belongs to the Army's XVIII Airborne Corps.From their headquarters at Fort Bragg, NC, Fran Racioppi sat down with Lieutenant General Greg Anderson, Commanding General of the XVIII Airborne Corps, to discuss how he is preparing America's Contingency Corps for combat in an increasingly dangerous world.Leading more than 80,000 soldiers across the 3rd Infantry Division, 10th Mountain Division, 82nd Airborne Division, and 101st Airborne Division, and other subordinate commands, LTG Anderson explains how the Corps balances readiness, speed, and innovation while maintaining the fundamentals that have always defined military success.Our conversation explores the role of Noncommissioned Officer, the importance of mastering the basics, and why leadership development remains America's greatest asymmetric advantage. We also discuss the integration of conventional and special operations forces, the concept of compound warfare, and the difference between interoperability and true integration on the battlefield.LTG Anderson breaks down the Corps' push toward innovation through initiatives like the Joint Innovation Outpost and experimental exercises that incorporate artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven decision-making into operational planning. But even as technology changes warfare, he makes one thing clear; there must always be a human in the loop.Highlights0:00 Introduction2:17 Welcome to the Jedburgh Podcast4:01 The role of XVIII Airborne Corps9:57 Empowering NCOs14:58 Joint Innovation Outpost19:00 Speeding the Acquisition Timeline22:53 Keeping A Human in the Loop25:41 Integration vs Interoperability29:13 Guiding the Tactical Level Leader32:48 Compound Warfare Today37:22 Generational Warfighting Differences42:00 The XVIII Airborne Corps Formation45:04 Daily HabitsQuotes“What operational problems do they expect us to solve for them?”“If I've got a strong team…we'll typically prevail.”“Certainly what I've learned of any value has come from non-commissioned officers that raised me up.”“The role of the non-commissioned officer is to become the technical tactical experts in the application of violence at the tactical level.”“What are we doing to get the NCO corps to that point where they are the Army?”“How do we use advanced computing to allow us to make decisions more informed and faster than our opponents?”“The advantage of war fighting is not replacing humans with machine decision making.

In this raw and unflinching episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Thad Snyder (physician, former medic, and brigade surgeon) to tackle one of the most uncomfortable topics in combat medicine: what happens when resources run out, evacuation timelines collapse, and “doing everything” is no longer possible.Drawing from a 72-page crisis standards of care memo (originally written for flu and updated for COVID), Thad explains the shift from standard → contingency → crisis care, the ethical duty to plan for no-win scenarios, and why medics, teams, and leaders must have real conversations about capabilities, limitations, and what “living” actually means after catastrophic injury. They explore palliative/comfort care in austere environments, the emotional weight of those decisions, and practical ways to share the burden so the medic isn't left carrying it alone.Essential listening for medics, operators, team leaders, and anyone preparing for large-scale combat or prolonged operations where the next casualty might not get a bird out for days or weeks.Key TakeawaysThere is a duty to plan for crisis standards of care before you're in the middle of it.Leaders and teams must understand the real capabilities and limitations of their medics—not the 437-task training list.Pre-mission conversations about quality of life, advanced directives, and unacceptable outcomes give medics a moral framework when they have to make the hardest calls.Palliative/comfort care is already happening in modern conflicts (Ukraine, etc.) even if no one wants to talk about it.The emotional and moral burden of end-of-life decisions cannot fall solely on the medic—teams and leaders must share ownership.Staying busy to “do something” can sometimes cause more harm than shifting to dignity-focused comfort care.Chapters00:00 – Intro & Pulling the Crisis Standards Memo from the Closet00:56 – Standard, Contingency, and Crisis Care: What Changes When Resources Vanish02:51 – The Duty to Plan: Preparing for No-Win Scenarios04:55 – Why Commanders Need Brutally Honest Briefs on Medic Capabilities06:20 – Surgical Team Limitations, Non-Survivable Injuries, and Realistic Expectations08:40 – Advanced Directives, Quality of Life, and “Living vs. Being Alive”11:36 – Palliative Care in Large-Scale Combat (Ukraine, Future Conflicts)13:15 – How (and When) to Have These Conversations with Your Team14:38 – The Emotional Reality: Holding Someone's Hand While They Die Is Harder Than Any Procedure20:33 – Real Hospital Examples of Hard End-of-Life Discussions25:58 – What Outcomes Actually Matter to Warriors?

Discussing the current emotional and mental status of me; I want to do a road trip to Helen, Elijah, or Cartersville, Georgia but I do not know where to go (no time frame is required but I do want to visit those cities) including a tire rotation and oil change for my Santa Fe.

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, On Interpretation, focusing on his discussion of what have come to be called "modalities" such as necessity, contingency, possibility, and impossibility, with the truth values of future seemingly contingent propositions in mind, for example that a sea-battle will or will not take place tomorrow. One possible approach is to say that since propositions must be either true or false, future propositions already are true or false of necessity and that we simply don't know their truth or falsity. Another is to say that it is necessary for them to be either true or false, but that neither of these truth values are necessary to contingent propositions referring to future events that have not yet happened.

CCP welcomes returning guest Michael Thomsen of Origin 84 from Sydney, Australia and discusses how he prepares to leave his business for long travel by relying on organizational design, documentation, and clear accountability, using Confluence and EOS-style role success criteria to prevent gaps and duplication. They explore perfectionism versus "good enough," emphasizing repeatable standards a team can deliver, protecting integrity, and avoiding preventable mistakes. The conversation shifts to why SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 matter as clients face more vendor-risk questions, and how policies differ from procedures by enabling decentralized decisions. Michael explains Origin 84's fixed-fee, services-first model and a "magic quadrant" approach that moves from help desk and IT admin to account management and strategy, using root-cause fixes across all clients. He details standardizing on Microsoft-first tooling (including Entra SSO for Google), vendor-risk concerns, and how certification frameworks drive continual improvement and practical, auditable policies.   00:00 Welcome Back Michael 00:35 Travel Rituals Offline 01:14 Leaving the Business 03:23 Planning Like Military 04:47 Runbooks EOS Accountability 07:22 Perfection Versus Good 13:53 Standards And Certifications 16:32 Policy Versus Procedure 17:56 Building Sticky Services 20:14 Magic Quadrant Strategy 23:16 Fix Root Causes 26:21 Flat Rate Incentives 27:45 Strategy Alignment Limits 29:13 Listening Before Pushing 30:08 Pricing Pushback Story 31:52 Standardize Security Baselines 34:33 Paying for Certification Proof 36:10 Cut Costs via Account Management 36:50 Client Owned Subscriptions 39:21 Microsoft as North Star 41:10 Vendor Risk and Contingencies 47:37 Entra SSO for Google 50:46 ISO 27001 Policy Reality Check 54:57 Part Two Wrap Up

The "Bush contingency" of the Republican Party, often associated with the neo-conservative or establishment wing, continues to face sharp criticism from the populist base for its perceived support of comprehensive immigration reform, which many characterize as amnesty. This faction generally favors a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants, arguing that a pragmatic approach is necessary for economic stability and national security. However, as the party shifts further toward the "America First" platform championed by President Trump, these more traditional GOP members find themselves increasingly at odds with a voter base that demands strict enforcement, border wall completion, and mass deportations. Critics argue that by entertaining legal status before securing the border, the Bush-era establishment is undermining the rule of law and ignoring the primary concerns of the modern Republican electorate.

Interview with Ruyi Deysel, Managing Director & CEO of West Wits MiningOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/west-wits-mining-asxwwi-first-gold-production-achieved-as-south-african-project-goes-live-8410Recording date: 2nd April 2026West Wits Mining has crossed a pivotal threshold, delivering its first gold pour at the Qala Shallows project in South Africa's Witwatersrand Basin and beginning the operational ramp-up toward steady-state production of 70,000 ounces per annum. For investors tracking the company's progress, the milestone is meaningful not only symbolically but structurally: it confirms that West Wits has successfully built and commissioned an underground gold mine on schedule, within a disciplined capital framework, and with early performance metrics running ahead of the Definitive Feasibility Study.The production model is built around toll treatment of ore at a Sibanye-Stillwater facility nearby, avoiding the capital burden of a standalone processing plant in the early stage and compressing the timeline to first revenue. Ore grades and gold recoveries from bottle roll tests are both tracking above DFS assumptions which is a positive early indicator for the unit economics that will define the ramp-up. The all-in sustaining cost target of approximately US$1,300/oz positions the operation with a material margin against current gold prices, and management has been explicit that cost control is central to the company's operating philosophy.Funding is not a near-term concern. The company completed an unsolicited A$27.5 million equity raise in January, entered production fully funded, and is now preparing its first drawdown under the lending facility. Approximately 25% of total project funding is expected to come from early gold revenue, which means maintaining the production ramp-up profile is both an operational and financial imperative. Contingency has been built into both the equity and lending structures to absorb short-term variability.Energy management is an area of active focus. Diesel currently accounts for around 8% of operating costs, already low relative to comparable operations, partly due to the closed-loop hydropower system that uses purified local groundwater. Grid power connection, expected in Q4 2026, will reduce diesel dependency further and improve operating margins without any requirement for additional production volume. This represents a near-term, largely de-risked cost improvement that investors can monitor against a defined timeline.On the growth side, the company has launched a scoping study targeting an expansion pathway to 200,000 oz per annum, nearly three times the current steady-state target. The study commenced in February 2025 and is expected to conclude by June, at which point management will have defined the direction for a full feasibility study. This provides investors with a clear, time-bound catalyst to assess the long-term scale of the asset.What distinguishes West Wits Mining's investment case from many of its junior gold peers is the board's stated philosophy: demonstrate profitability first, grow selectively second. In a sector where capital is frequently deployed in pursuit of market capitalisation rather than margin, that orientation carries weight. The coming twelve months will test whether the operational execution matches the framework management has built. The early signals are encouraging, the funding is in place, and the catalysts are defined.View West Wits Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/west-wits-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Cost-effectiveness of contingency management for methamphetamine use disorder: A model-based analysis Addiction This study used a microsimulation model of methamphetamine use behavior among individuals with methamphetamine use disorder (MethUD) to assess the cost-effectiveness of contingency management (CM) for MethUD. Both 12-week and 24-week CM programs were modeled, using a maximum incentive of $750/patient, per SAMHSA guidelines. The model simulation was run for a cohort of 10,000 individuals with MethUD and looked at lifetime cost. Compared to no treatment, the model predicted an estimated net gain of 0.70 QALYs per person at a cost of $6850/QALY for a 12-week program, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $9830/QALY. For a 24-week program, the benefit was 0.81 QALYs at a cost of $10,000, yielding an ICER of $12,312/QALY. This suggests that both durations of CM for MethUD are highly cost-effective, even at the maximum level of incentives.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Episode Summary What happens after you build your private banking system? In this episode of The Practical Wealth Show, Curtis May sits down with Ben Buzek — former Special Operations leader turned real estate investor and collaborator with Wealth Without Wall Street — to discuss how to strategically deploy capital into cash-flowing assets. If you've implemented the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) and built cash value, the next step is deployment. But most investors skip due diligence, chase returns, and lock their money inside qualified plans like 401(k)s. We break down: Why traditional 401(k)s limit liquidity and control The difference between accumulation theory vs cash flow strategy What separates serious investors from hobby investors How to create a "buy box" to vet deals Risk management lessons from Special Operations Multifamily investing explained How to use cash value life insurance to fund investments The biggest misconception about passive income Why liquidity beats rate of return Sequence matters: Cash Flow Control → Private Reserve → Strategic Deployment → Financial Freedom If you want income, not speculation — this episode is for you.

More than half of drug overdose deaths in the U.S. involve stimulants like methamphetamine and cocaine. There are no medications to treat stimulant addiction, but there is a behavioral treatment that works: contingency management, which involves offering tangible, immediate rewards for abstaining from drugs.

Most business owners are barely scratching the surface of AI — and it's costing them speed, clarity, and competitive advantage. If you're using AI to: "Write me an email." "Create 5 social posts." "Give me some ideas." You're driving a Ferrari at 25 mph. In this episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor and Troy Howard break down how to stop using AI like a search engine and start using it like a strategic execution partner. This is not about better prompts. It's about Prompt Stacking — the method that turns AI into your marketing department, project manager, operations assistant, and execution engine.

In this episode, Jim Garrity - the leading expert in the country on deposition strategies and tactics - rolls out another spectacular deposition strategy you won't find anywhere else. It's the application of the PACE Method to your deposition scheduling. It will change how you draft your deposition notices forever.PACE - an acronym for Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency - was devised by the U.S. Military to ensure that if the primary plan goes haywire, there is a Plan B: an immediate go-to backup. And a Plan C, and a Plan D. It sharply increases the odds of mission success because there are no debates or delays when one plan fails. Everyone switches to the next layer of redundancy.Here, Garrity tells you how to apply PACE to deposition scheduling, so that when your primary plan for deposing a witness - say, an in-person deposition - cannot proceed, you (and all other participants) immediately switch to your alternate plans.As always, thanks for listening to the number #1 podcast in the world devoted exclusively to deposition strategies and tactics for litigators handling civil, administrative, arbitrative, and criminal proceedings.

Planning is what stops "good intentions" turning into chaos. When teams skip planning, they don't just risk missing the deadline — they risk building the wrong thing, burning budget, and exhausting people on rework. A repeatable planning process keeps everyone aligned on outcomes, realities, actions, timelines, resources, and risks, so execution becomes calmer and faster. What is the planning process and why does it matter? The planning process is a repeatable way to define the outcome, map reality, set goals, design action steps, set timelines, allocate resources, plan contingencies, and track progress. It matters because most teams jump straight into the nitty gritty — meetings, tasks, and urgent emails — and mistake motion for progress. Post-pandemic (2020–2026), that "rush to action" has intensified as organisations face tighter budgets, hybrid teams, and faster competitive cycles. In multinationals (think Toyota-scale) you'll see more structure — governance, stage gates, and risk reviews — while SMEs and startups often rely on speed and intuition. Both can win, but both fail when they don't define "finished" early. In Japan, planning can be stronger in discipline but weaker in challenge if people copy seniors; in the US, planning can be faster but thinner if teams overvalue action. Do now: Write one sentence: "We will deliver ___ by ___ so that ___ improves." What is the first step in planning a project? The first step is defining the desired outcome so everyone shares the same destination. If the outcome is vague ("improve customer service"), the plan becomes a debate and execution becomes random. Better outcomes are specific, measurable, and tied to customer impact: reduce onboarding from 14 days to 3, cut defects by 20%, lift renewal rates by 5% by Q3. This is where leaders must "sell" the outcome, not just announce it. People aren't robots; they need to see why it matters, how it connects to strategy, and what trade-offs it requires. Use familiar frameworks to sharpen the outcome: SMART goals, OKRs (Objective + Key Results), or a simple "metric + deadline + owner." Consumer businesses may prioritise speed and experience; B2B firms may prioritise reliability and risk. Do now: Define 3 success measures (metric, deadline, owner) for your outcome. How do you assess the current situation before making a plan? You assess the current situation by establishing a clear baseline with facts, not opinions. You can't plan the route if you don't agree on the starting point. Capture the "as-is" reality: cycle time, backlog size, defect rate, conversion rate, churn, staffing capacity, supplier constraints, approval bottlenecks — whatever defines today's performance. Big firms may pull dashboards and market intelligence; smaller firms may rely on interviews and spreadsheets. Either works if it's accurate. This step prevents the classic argument later: "Did we actually improve?" It also exposes hidden constraints early (for example, a dependency on one overworked specialist, or a vendor lead time that makes your timeline impossible). Across cultures, the trap is the same: assumptions feel efficient until they prove expensive. Do now: List 10 baseline facts and agree: "This is our starting line." How should leaders set goals that actually get achieved? Leaders set achievable goals by breaking big targets into a hierarchy and translating them into weekly and daily units. A goal that can't be converted into actions is just a wish. Start with the outcome, then cascade: quarterly goals → monthly milestones → weekly targets → daily actions. Be realistic about constraints. Startups may set aggressive targets and iterate fast; regulated industries or complex global teams may need more conservative targets because governance, procurement, and compliance add time. In Japan, goal-setting can suffer if people avoid challenging targets to preserve harmony; in the US, it can suffer if targets are ambitious but under-resourced. Either way, align goals with capability, prioritise ruthlessly, and make ownership explicit. Do now: Build a "goal ladder" and assign one accountable owner per milestone. What makes action steps and time frames workable in the real world? Workable action steps name the work, the owner, the sequence, the dependencies, and the barriers — then lock them to real deadlines. This is where plans often collapse: the intent is clear, but the execution design is missing. Strong planning includes task allocation, coordination across teams, sequencing (what must happen first), supervision cadence, and known blockers. Then you set time frames that people respect by tying dates to deliverables, not vibes. Tools like a simple milestone calendar, a Gantt chart for complex work, or Agile sprints/Kanban for flow-based work can help — but the tool won't save you if "done" isn't defined. Deadlines should be explicit, shared, and reviewed, especially in hybrid teams spread across time zones. Do now: For each major step, write: owner, dependency, "definition of done," and due date. How do you plan resources, contingencies, and tracking so the plan survives surprises? Plans survive reality when they include honest resourcing, built-in contingencies, and simple tracking that warns you early. Resource planning isn't just budget — it's people, time, tools, approvals, and opportunity cost (what you stop doing to fund this). Under-counting resources creates rework and burnout. Contingencies turn "panic later" into "prepared now." Identify the top risks — supplier delays, staffing gaps, tech dependencies, scope creep — and pre-decide responses. Then track essentials: a few leading indicators (early warnings like backlog growth or missed handoffs) and lagging indicators (results like cost, quality, customer impact). This is classic PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act): plan carefully, execute, check frequently, and adjust fast. Do now: Define 3 risks with "If X happens, we will do Y by Z," plus 3 leading indicators to review weekly. Conclusion The planning process is not paperwork — it's how leaders create clarity, speed, and accountability. Define the outcome, baseline reality, set layered goals, design workable actions, lock timelines, allocate resources honestly, build contingencies, and track progress with early warnings. When you repeat the process, execution becomes less stressful and results become more predictable.

In Episode 76 of Life & Leadership with Kim Williams, Kimberly Williams equips leaders with a practical framework for preparing for uncertainty without becoming distracted or overwhelmed.Contingency planning is not about expecting the worst. It is about leading with wisdom, discipline, and clarity when conditions change. Drawing from her experience guiding organizations through funding volatility, crisis, and rapid growth, Kim breaks down the three non-negotiable essentials every leader must have in place before disruption hits.In this episode, you will learn how to:Identify the risks you must plan for versus the ones that create unnecessary fearBuild contingency plans that protect your mission without sacrificing momentumLead your team with calm, confidence, and credibility when plans shiftKim reinforces that strong leaders do not wait for certainty to act. They prepare for multiple scenarios while staying focused on their core work. Through mindset, method, and management insights, this episode helps leaders replace anxiety with action and reactivity with readiness.This episode is especially relevant for CEOs, executive leaders, and change-agents who want to remain steady, strategic, and effective no matter what the future brings.

Charley Wininger returns to Adventures Through The Mind to discuss How To Host An MDMA Group Roll Our discussions starts with a quick general overview of MDMA before shifting into a thorough exploration of group rolls—what they are, what they can offer us individually and collectively, who to invite, who not to invite, where to do it, what to include, what to exclude, safety protocols, and just a whole number of things. Enjoy!  

This week, an interview we did with a couple of smart friends about the question: what would those of us who rely on Signal encrypted messaging do if that service were disabled in the US. First up, all participants in this discussion agree that Signal is amazing and always getting better, so this is not a take down of that app or it's developers. But the buds do think that the weakest point for Signal is the centralization of infrastructure with US-based companies. My friends did some thinking and research and put it into a website called Signal-Contingency-Plan.Info and made a zine discussing it and what they consider the best alternative for their needs an app called Delta Chat. So, for this discussion, they'll talk about how encrypted apps work, what works so great about Signal, some ups and downs of other available encrypted chat apps and how folks might rebound if Signal got choked out in this manner. As a reminder, at the end of 2024 large parts of the region I'm in lost cellular and internet service and it came back in starts and staggers over a number of months, similar for running and potable water, roads and other infrastructure we rely on. Our hope in sharing this conversation is that people will consider threat modeling to develop social plans for contingency and alternatives for the infrastructures they rely on.

Today we begin with Nick Fuentes—how did he go from a guy with Jewish friends, to someone who is proudly anti-Semitic? Why does “anti-Semitic” now have so many meanings? What are the differences between preference, discrimination, and bigotry? Then: Bill Gates changes his tune on climate change—or does he? His new memo still sounds the alarm about Carbon, but also privileges his pet projects of vaccinating the world and handing agriculture to the technologists.

 8. Monuments, Darkness, and Contingency Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section highlights the enduring conflict, which extended into the early 20th century through a "monument war" near Logan's Elm in Ohio. The Cresap Society funded a monument to clear their family name, leading locals to erect counter-monuments with the lament's text and a statue of Logan. Parkinson utilizes Joseph Conrad's metaphor of "the flicker" (human systems like patriotism, colonialism, and republics) attempting to illuminate the terrifying, bewildering "darkness" of the world. He notes that the aggressive colonial expansion seemed inevitable, but the specific outcomes were shaped by contingency and the biographies of individuals like Logan and Michael Cresap, whose actions were enabled and celebrated by the new American Republic. 1958
