Extreme temperatures across Europe have raised fresh questions about climate resilience, with two-thirds of the continent's population experiencing heat above 35 degrees, conditions intensified by human-induced climate change. Ireland is also expected to record its highest temperature on record in the coming days, prompting renewed debate about preparedness and long-term adaptation.On The Tonight Show, the panel examines what mitigation measures may now be needed as extreme heat becomes more frequent, and whether Ireland is vulnerable to future climate shocks.The discussion also turns to the Government's climate strategy, including concerns over continued expansion of data centres and whether economic and technological priorities risk overtaking emissions targets. AI regulation and child safety online are also explored, with questions over how to balance innovation with safeguarding and whether big tech's influence is outpacing policy.Guest Presenter Shane Coleman was joined by:Niamh Smyth TD, Minister of State with Responsibility for AI Jennifer Whitmore TD, Social Democrats Spokesperson for Climate, Environment & Energy Oisín Coughlan, Public Policy Advisor Mick Moran, Chief Executive of the Irish Internet Hotline Hosted on Acast.

MAY. 21, 2026Don't allow yourself to be distracted."Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." Heb 12:1 NKJVIn March 1987, Eamon Coughlan was running in the qualifying heat at the World Indoor Track Championships in Indianapolis. He was the reigning world record holder at 1500 meters and was favored to win the race. Unfortunately, with two and a half laps left, he tripped and fell hard. But he got up, and with great effort managed to catch the race leaders. With twenty yards to go, he was in third place, which would have been good enough to qualify for the final race. Then Coughlan made a fateful mistake—he looked over his shoulder to the inside. Seeing no one there, he relaxed his effort slightly. What he hadn't noticed was that a runner was charging hard on the outside. This runner passed him just a yard before the finish line, eliminating him from the finals. Coughlan's great comeback effort ended up being worthless for only one reason: He momentarily took his eyes off the finish line and focused on the would-be competitors behind him.  The writer of the book of Hebrews said, "Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." A "weight" refers to things that are legitimate but can slow you down. A "sin" refers to something illegitimate that you know to be wrong and can cost you the race. So lay them both aside and "run with endurance the race that is set before [you], looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" (vv. 1-2 NKJV).Don't allow yourself to be distracted Don't take your eyes off the finish line.Share This DevotionalSend us Fan MailSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Send a textWhat keeps a podcast alive when the honeymoon fades? We invited coach and multi-show host Roy Coughlan to pull back the curtain on what actually drives growth, why impact beats downloads, and how to stay consistent when the comment section goes sideways. Roy shares the arc from losing everything to building several top-ranked shows, revealing the mindset shifts and systems that turned fear into a repeatable practice. You'll hear how he split his ideas into distinct podcasts, protected audience trust, and focused on interviews as the core engine rather than flashy promotion.We dig into the surge of podcast coaches and how to separate real operators from playbook sellers. Roy lays out a pragmatic approach to coaching: adapt to the creator, build a format that fits their energy, and pick platform strategies that suit the audience. He explains why hosts should personally engage in comments, how to filter abusive noise while embracing constructive critique, and why a single listener note can spark meaningful improvements. We also talk metrics that matter—counting video plays where full episodes live, tracking what guests actually share, and treating twenty loyal listeners like a weekly stage.Consistency becomes the quiet superpower. Roy shows how to take breaks without losing momentum, repurpose your archive with intention, and run lean with simple tools that elevate rough audio. We look ahead at where podcasting is heading as audiences seek trusted voices and open conversation over polished spin. If you've ever wondered whether a small show can make a big dent, this conversation will recalibrate your compass and your calendar.If this helped you rethink your show, follow and share it with a friend.

How I Became A Wave is the solo project of Pat Carey. Formerly of Cork band The Hard Ground, the release of the debut album from How I Became A Wave in 2026 will mark the first substantial release from Carey in 10 years and is a collaboration between Carey and a number of Ireland's finest musicians and artists. An exploration of soundscapes, exploring links between the intimate and the infinite, the album has an eye and an ear as much on grains of sand as it does on the waves that create them. Two full band headline shows, at Coughlan's, Cork (12 April) and The Unitarian Church, Dublin (17 April) are on sale now, in addition to upcoming supports with acclaimed US singer-songwriter Joan Shelly. To accompany the announcement, new single, ‘Sea Swell', has just been released – a song that grows with a quiet intensity, opening into a powerful full-band crescendo that has already become a standout moment in live shows. Live support slots with Joan Shelley, Lisa Hannigan, Villagers, Gemma Hayes, Niamh Regan, Ailbhe Reddy, John Spillane and more further cement the quality of this project, demonstrating the backing it has received from some of the genre's most respected artists. Festival appearances at Your Roots Are Showing, Quiet Lights and Sounds From A Safe Harbour have continued to build momentum, introducing the work to new audiences. How I Became A Wave was recently named in the Irish Independent's Ones to Watch for 2026. They wrote: “Pat Carey makes music that quietly acknowledges the strength it takes to be vulnerable, and the comfort that comes from creativity and collaboration” – perfectly summing up the ethos of this project, which has been a long time in the making.

The world of prehospital medicine is constantly evolving, driven by new research, technological advancements, and a shared commitment to improving patient care and provider well-being. As EMS professionals, staying informed about these developments goes beyond a professional obligation; it is an opportunity to improve our practice, champion our profession, and ultimately make a greater impact on saving lives. In this article, we will explore some of the latest research findings that are reshaping our field, from workplace culture to cutting-edge technology.   The Culture of Care: Supporting EMS Providers Our work is demanding, both physically and emotionally, and the culture within our agencies plays a critical role in our well-being. A recent systematic review in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health revealed that many EMS providers avoid using organizational mental health services due to stigma and a perception that these programs lack genuine care. The study emphasizes the need for person-centered support and a cultural shift that normalizes seeking help as a sign of strength (Johnston et al., 2025). This cultural component also impacts retention. Another study in the same journal found that agencies with collaborative, team-oriented "clan" cultures had significantly lower turnover rates compared to those with rigid or chaotic structures. For leaders in EMS, fostering a supportive environment is not just about morale. It is a strategic imperative for retaining skilled clinicians (Kamholz et al., 2025).   Professional Recognition: Breaking Barriers Across the globe, paramedics are striving for recognition as integrated healthcare professionals. A qualitative study in BMC Health Services Research identified common barriers, including outdated legislation, inconsistent regulation, and insufficient funding. While the pandemic temporarily highlighted our capabilities, the momentum has waned. The study calls for targeted policy reforms and investments in education and leadership to solidify our role in the broader healthcare system (Feerick et al., 2025). Physical Demands and Injury Prevention The physical toll of our work is undeniable. A scoping review in Applied Ergonomics confirmed that musculoskeletal injuries, particularly to the back, are rampant in EMS. Tasks like handling stretchers and patient extractions are among the most strenuous. The review also highlighted fitness disparities, with male paramedics generally showing more strength but less flexibility than their female counterparts. These findings underscore the need for targeted injury prevention programs and realistic physical standards to keep us safe throughout our careers (Marsh et al., 2025).   Advancements in Cardiac Arrest Care When it comes to cardiac arrest, every second counts. A study in Resuscitation reinforced the value of bystander CPR, showing that dispatcher-assisted CPR significantly improves outcomes for untrained bystanders. For those with prior CPR training, acting independently yielded even better results. This highlights the importance of public CPR education alongside dispatcher support (Tagami et al., 2025). On the scene, our interventions matter immensely. Research in The Journal of Emergency Medicine found that for traumatic cardiac arrest patients, aggressive interventions like prehospital thoracostomy can be lifesaving (McWilliam et al., 2025). Meanwhile, a study in Critical Care Medicine revealed that extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) significantly improves outcomes for patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation, emphasizing the need for early transport to specialized centers.   The Role of Technology in EMS Technology is poised to revolutionize EMS, from dispatch to diagnosis. A study in The American Journal of Emergency Medicine demonstrated that large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT could prioritize ambulance requests with remarkable accuracy, aligning with expert paramedic decisions over 76 percent of the time. This proof of concept suggests that AI could one day enhance resource allocation in dispatch centers (Shekhar et al., 2025). On the diagnostic front, machine learning is opening new possibilities. For example, a study in Bioengineering showed that analyzing photoplethysmography waveforms could estimate blood loss in trauma patients, offering a non-invasive way to guide resuscitation (Gonzalez et al., 2025). Similarly, research in Medical Engineering & Physics explored using multidimensional data to differentiate ischemic from hemorrhagic strokes in the field, potentially enabling more targeted prehospital care (Alshehri et al., 2025).   Addressing Disparities in Care Equity in EMS is a cornerstone of our profession, yet recent studies highlight troubling disparities. Research in JAMA Network Open found that ambulance offload times were significantly longer in communities with higher proportions of Black residents (Zhou et al., 2025). Another study in JAMA Surgery revealed that Black and Asian trauma patients were less likely to receive helicopter transport compared to White patients. These findings are a call to action for all of us to examine our systems and biases to ensure equitable care for every patient (Mpody et al., 2025).   Looking Ahead The research discussed here represents just a fraction of the advancements shaping EMS today. From improving workplace culture and injury prevention to leveraging AI and addressing systemic inequities, these findings have real-world implications for our protocols, training, and advocacy efforts. As EMS professionals, we have a responsibility to stay informed and apply these insights to our practice.

In this powerful and inspiring episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Irish entrepreneur, podcaster, and speaker Roy Coughlan, whose journey from humble beginnings in Cork, Ireland to building a life and business in Poland is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and personal growth.Roy is a seasoned serial entrepreneur with an impressive track record of founding 20 companies across five countries. As a business podcast coach and host, he has successfully launched and driven six podcasts to the top echelons of the industry, with all consistently ranking in the Top 5% and four reaching the prestigious Top 0.5%. Beyond podcasting, he is the co-founder of braingym.fitness, a platform dedicated to enhancing cognitive abilities and empowering individuals to optimize their mental performance, and co-founder of VA.World, where he connects clients with highly skilled Virtual Assistants to meet their diverse needs.In this candid conversation with C-Roc, Roy shares what it was like growing up in rough council housing in 1970s Ireland, where street fights were common and opportunities were scarce. From washing cars and cutting grass as a teen to studying construction management and climbing the corporate ladder, Roy always had an entrepreneurial spark — one that eventually led him to launch his own businesses abroad. But when the 2008 financial crash hit, he lost millions and faced over a hundred court cases in Poland, an experience that exposed him to deep corruption and ultimately pushed him toward his next mission: using his voice to make a difference.Roy also opens up about how he transformed from a shy young man who couldn't even order a drink at the bar into a confident international speaker and podcast host with over 1,700 episodes under his belt. He shares how joining Toastmasters, facing his fears head-on, and leaning into discomfort helped him discover his true power — and why communication is the ultimate key to success.This episode is a reminder that the stories we tell ourselves can hold us back — or set us free. Roy's journey proves that no matter where you start, you can rewrite your path, rebuild your life, and inspire others along the way.Website- https://roycoughlan.com/https://va.world/ , https://braingym.fitness/ Social Media Links/handles:https://www.facebook.com/roycoughlanhttps://www.instagram.com/awakening.podcast/https://www.linkedin.com/in/roycoughlan/https://x.com/poleire https://www.youtube.com/@roycoughlanhttps://www.tiktok.com/@roycoughlanpodcaster

Is It Too Late to Start a Podcast? Roy Coughlan Doesn't Think So I sat down with Roy Coughlan, a serial entrepreneur turned podcast coach, to tackle a question that's been floating around like last week's leftovers: Is podcasting still worth it? If you've been wondering whether the market is too crowded or if there's even room for one more voice (yours), Roy has a clear answer: Yes, there's room. Especially for podcasters who stick with it. Because while millions may have started podcasts, only a small percentage are still active. The rest? Abandoned somewhere between episode 10 and a pile of unrealistic expectations. Roy's message wasn't just encouraging—it was refreshingly honest. He's hosted six shows and coached countless others, so he knows both the magic and the mess behind the mic. Why Podcasting Still Matters 1. It's not just about downloads. Podcasting gives you a direct channel to build relationships, showcase your expertise, and create meaningful conversations. Think of it less like broadcasting and more like building trust at scale. 2. It opens doors without cold calls. Inviting your ideal customer to be a guest? That's a warm introduction with zero awkward sales pitch. You're building relationships, not just content. 3. It makes you smarter. Hosting a podcast is like getting a masterclass every week. You ask the questions you're curious about and walk away sharper than when you started. 4. It's a ripple effect. Inspire one person, and who knows where that impact lands? Roy's seen podcasting create unexpected waves of positivity—sometimes in ways he didn't realize until much later. 5. You don't need a massive audience to make a difference. If 50 people listen to your episode, imagine them sitting in a room, eyes on you. Feels different, doesn't it? Actionable Takeaways for Women Business Owners Set realistic expectations. Success won't happen overnight. Keep going past the “episode 10 slump” where most people quit. Podcasting is a long game, not a viral moment. Use podcasting as a marketing tool. Record an episode that answers a client's question. Share it ahead of a meeting to warm up the conversation and show your expertise. Start simple. Don't overcomplicate it with gear and gadgets. Roy's been using the same plug-and-play mic for years. Focus on content, not cables. Choose one platform to focus on. Rather than spreading yourself thin across every social channel, master one. Get good systems in place before expanding. Be a good podcast citizen. Leave a comment. Share a show. If something helped you, support the creator. Positive feedback fuels better content and stronger communities. Keep your podcast structure nimble. Things can (and will) go wrong. Use editing tools to clean up the audio and keep the process fun—not frustrating. One Last Thought Podcasting isn't just a marketing tactic—it can be a creative outlet, a learning platform, and a powerful tool for connection. Whether you've got a story to tell, a message to share, or just want to have better conversations, Roy's advice is simple: Start where you are. Stay curious. And most importantly, enjoy the process.

What does true entrepreneurial freedom look like? Roy  Coughlan  embodies this answer through his remarkable journey from washing cars at age 9 to building an empire spanning 20 companies across five countries.Roy's entrepreneurial instinct emerged early. While other kids played, he delivered newspapers, washed cars, and by 14, had purchased his own lawnmower to start a neighborhood grass-cutting service. Despite formal education in construction management, Roy found corporate employment frustrating—watching dedicated colleagues mistreated and experiencing firsthand how companies reduced incentives for top performers.The pivotal moment came when Roy spotted property investment opportunities in Poland. Gradually transitioning from his corporate role, he eventually made the complete leap to entrepreneurship—a status he's maintained for 18 years. This freedom allowed him to spend a month by his grandmother's bedside during her cancer battle and arrange his schedule around co-parenting his son—opportunities impossible within corporate constraints.Through building his business empire, Roy learned crucial lessons about hands-on financial and legal management. "Don't outsource your legal side or accounting," he advises. "It's your business. You're the one that's going to suffer." This philosophy guided him through over 100 court cases and countless business negotiations.Roy's journey eventually led him to podcasting, where he's established six successful shows, four reaching the global top 0.5%. His innovative approach uses podcasting as both a business itself and as a marketing tool—interviewing potential clients rather than making cold calls. His company VA World grew from his own need for reliable virtual assistant services, now helping entrepreneurs maximize productivity while maintaining proper oversight.For anyone dreaming of entrepreneurial freedom, Roy's story offers inspiration and practical wisdom: develop a resilient mindset, never tolerate failure, and remember that entrepreneurship isn't just about financial success—it's about controlling your time, energy, and ultimately, your life.How to connect with Roy?Website: https://roycoughlan.com/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speaking-podcast/id1443652346YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk5CEEWZ2KgUTYJOTXNL8lQFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/roycoughlanLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roycoughlan/Twitter: https://x.com/poleireSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5zg8fJBSvBCY0oWdoF7mkP#login Support the show
