In this episode, we are joined by William C. Greenwalt, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), to evaluate the state of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDs). Drawing on the release of his new report, “Required to Fail | Beyond Documents: Accelerating Joint Advantage through Direct Resourcing and Experimentation,” Greenwalt discusses the need to reform JCIDs to ensure military capabilities serve joint force needs rather than individual services, driving interoperability across services, and connecting strategy to acquisition by validating the alignment of new requirements. Additionally, Greenwalt highlights opportunities to improve how the United States aligns warfighter needs with technology development. Required to Fail | Beyond Documents: Accelerating Joint Advantage through Direct Resourcing and Experimentation report: https://www.hudson.org/technology/required-fail-beyond-documents-accelerating-joint-advantage-through-direct-resourcing-dan-patt-william-greenwaltTo receive updates about the NDIA Emerging Technologies for Defense Conference and Exhibition on August 27-29, 2025 at the Washington D.C.

The city of Dallas is considering taking out a $1 billion loan to move forward with the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center project. Staff will brief the City Council Wednesday on the updates to the convention center plan.

Frustrated viewers took to social media to express their displeasure;  Katy Perry's “Lifetimes” tour stop at American Airlines Center has been moved to Thursday night to accommodate the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers' NHL playoff game; and whatever happened to your favorite Dallas restaurant?

Trees have been cut down, parking barriers installed, and plans are underway for construction to begin in June on the expansion of the convention center in downtown Bloomington.Even the name has changed, from the Monroe Convention Center to the Bloomington Convention Center.It's taken almost a decade to get the expansion project to this point. The plan includes a 61,000-square foot building across College Avenue from the current convention center, along with renovations to the current building.That includes a full-service kitchen that could serve close to 2,000 people, a bus pull-off with Third Street corridor alignment, a loading dock ramp, relocation of utilities, and a climate-friendly green roof.The two buildings will be connected by a skybridge over College Avenue.One sticking point in the project is with the planned hotel on site. Dora Hospitality has been approved to build the new hotel, but it's still in discussions with the city and county on exactly where the hotel will be built. That could delay the opening of the hotel until after the convention center is operational.Some are concerned about having enough parking in the immediate area, but CIB president John Whikehart doesn't think that will be a problem with the lots already owned and the nearby Fourth Street Garage.On this week's Noon Edition, we'll discuss where the Bloomington Convention Center expansion project stands, the economic impact for the county and more.Join us on the air by calling 812-855-0811 or toll-free at 1-877-285-9348.

How is the Department of Defense faring with incorporating Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) into its technology development processes? Recent legislation requires acquisition programs to implement a MOSA to the maximum extent practicable. Anne McDonough, Assistant Director at the Government Accountability Office (GAO), joins the podcast to describe what MOSA is, who owns the MOSA approach on a program, and what the benefits and risks are as well as how policy can affect implementation.

Located just outside of Thurmond, the Dun Glen Hotel was infamous in the early 1900s. The New River Gorge Convention and Visitor's Bureau describes it as an “upscale den of sin” where “alcohol flowed freely and gambling was the pastime of choice.”  The hotel bars stayed open 24/7, allowing for crazy parties and lengthy poker games—the longest ever being 14 years, according to Ripley's Believe it or Not and the Guinness Book of World Records. While the hotel is long gone, the land where it was housed is now controlled by the National Park Service.

A truck driver heading south bound on highway 19, in Florida, had a pedestrian run in front of him. No one knows if the person was trying to beat the truck or if he was attempting suicide by semi truck. Many people every day take chances around these big rigs. They cut truckers off and break check them, they sneak up on their sides trying to beat them to red lights or they just pull out in front of a tractor-trailer thinking the big rig has 18 brakes and can stop on a dime. In fact it's just the opposite. It takes two football fields to stop at 70mph. These big boys gross weight is 80,000 pounds, that 4o tons of inertia. When someone is hurt or killed by a tractor trailer, the trucker has to live the rest of his life with this memory. Truckers are human too. This incident that happened on highway 19, was tragic. Not only for the victim and his family but also for the trucker. He did not ask for this to happen and from the reports, it looks like the truck driver did nothing wrong. So please be careful around these large cars called big rigs, the life you save may be your own. 2 Truckers beaten A Carriers Obligation to Truckers

Today's show featured an interview Linda Erickson of the Star Speaker Academy. Find Linda on LinkedIn. LINDA'S TIP:  "I want to emphasize the power of using stories into your deliveries. If I would have said, “Oh, the Convention Center has 73,000 square feet,” they aren't going to remember it. But they're going to remember a Guinness World Book of Records. They're going to remember the inaugurations. Those are the things that you leave people with, and you can always give them the information after. Data and information is good to a point, but it can also kill you."

This is the last episode of 2024 and we have a super mega roundtable for you. I am in studio with the core four – Lopez, Jakob, Bella – and we have one open seat so we’re going to bring in one reporter at a time. We’ll ask them each what’s going to happen. What’s one thing they want to know "What’s going to happen?" I think that’s the core compelling ingredient of media of all kinds. If a piece of content makes you wonder “What’s going to happen?” you’re hooked. So prepare to be hooked.
