More info on the website under the events tab. Okay.. our top story this week: XX Afrezza inhaled insulin is now approved for kids and teens. The FDA okayed MannKind's afrezza for children 6 and older with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. MannKind says its proprietary Technosphere drug delivery platform enables the rapid absorption of insulin into systemic circulation. This follows FDA approval earlier this year for an update that revises recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from subcutaneous mealtime insulin regimens. MannKind also completed enrollment in February for a study evaluating the initiation of Afrezza therapy shortly after type 1 diabetes diagnosis in pediatric patients.   The company said it made Afrezza available for eligible patients for $35 or less per month. Desmond Schatz, professor of pediatrics at the University of Florida College of Medicine, said: "Mealtime insulin can be especially challenging for children because eating and snacking patterns, activity levels, and daily settings like school and sports often vary. With its rapid onset and dosing at the start of a meal, Afrezza may help clinicians better match insulin therapy to how children and families live day to day, while offering a needle-free mealtime option." Lots more to come on this – we're working on a bonus episode with one of the pediatric endos who worked on the clinical trials that led to this approval – hopefully have that out later this week. https://www.massdevice.com/mannkind-fda-approval-inhaled-insulin-children/ XX FDA has agreed to consider a new drug for the treatment of adults with type 1 and chronic kidney disease. Finerenone (fy-near-uh-known) is currently approved in the US for adults with CKD associated with type 2 diabetes and for adults with heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or greater. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is present in over one-third of adults with diabetes, and because it's such a serious condition, interventions are needed to reduce its incidence and help people live a long and prosperous life. https://www.docwirenews.com/post/fda-grants-priority-review-to-finerenone-snda-for-type-1-diabetes-associated-ckd XX Abbot gets European approval for the world's first dual glucose‑ketone sensing technology for people with diabetes. They're calling this Libre Duo and Libre Duo 10 Day, and it's designed to continuously measure glucose and ketone levels every minute. Abbott plans to begin launching Libre Duo systems in select European countries later this year. Libre Duo delivers up to 15 days of wear and will be offered to adults ages 18 and older. Libre Duo 10 Day offers up to 10 days of wear and is intended for people ages 2 and older. Abbott is also working with leading pump companies to allow automated insulin delivery (AID) systems to connect with the sensors. https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2026-05-27-Abbott-secures-CE-Mark-for-worlds-first-dual-glucose-ketone-sensing-technology-for-people-with-diabetes   XX Huge recall for Omnipod. Insulin says a manufacturing issue through ongoing product monitoring that could result in insulin under-delivery  with specific lots of its Omnipod 5, Dash and Eros pods. Insulet said the scope of this action reaches approximately 7 million pods. This issue is separate from the March recall that affected certain Omnipod 5 lots. According to the Acton, Massachusetts-based company, some of its affected pods may have a small tear in the tubing (cannula) just above the skin. This tear lands between the pod and the point where the cannula enters the body. If this occurs, insulin may leak outside of the device instead of being fully delivered into the body as intended. This may lead to under-delivery of the therapeutic.   Individuals using an affected pod may notice wetness on the skin or pod adhesive or detect the smell of insulin. However, some cases may prove difficult to detect and go unnoticed. Of the approximately 7 million pods included in the action, approximately 60% have been consumed or are expired. The pods affected by the correction represent approximately 8.5% of the 2025 global Omnipod pod prodcution. Insulet says it has sufficient supply to replace affected pods. It expects no disruption to product availability. The company said it has notified the FDA and all other relevant regulatory authorities of its action.   The full list of affected pod lots can be found here. https://www.massdevice.com/insulet-another-omnipod-5-recall-dash-eros/ XX Dexcom is warning that certain scrapped glucose sensors have been stolen and resold. Dexcom said it has not received any reports of severe adverse events associated with the stolen product. One lot of scrapped devices carries a risk of infection for sensors that are not properly sterilized, and another lot had an elevated internal testing failure rate, meaning users would have an increased risk of having no sensor readings available. Dexcom said the affected sensors were stolen during the destruction process and then sold by third parties. The company routinely scraps sensors that do not meet its standards. The sensors are sent to a third-party vendor for destruction and recycling.   Dexcom said it traced sales of the stolen devices to Pharmsource, which is not an authorized Dexcom distributor but supplies some independent pharmacies and U.S. durable medical equipment distributors. Because of this, pharmacies that purchase products from Pharmsource should review their inventory, Dexcom said.   People with sensors from the affected lots should not use those sensors and can call customer support to request replacements. Dexcom has set up a website to help users check if their devices are affected. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-warns-of-scrapped-glucose-sensors-being-resold/821139/ XX XX   Beta Bionics plans to debut its first insulin patch pump by the end of the second quarter of 2027, subject to Food and Drug Administration clearance. The device, called Mint, would be compatible with Beta Bionics' interoperable automated glycemic controller, a software that allows for the pump to automatically adjust insulin delivery based on readings from a glucose sensor. Beta Bionics first unveiled the prototype for Mint last year at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions. The device is expected to have a similar size and wear time, at three days, to Insulet's patch pumps on the market. It would have a 200-unit insulin reservoir.   Mint differs by containing a mix of reusable and disposable components. Beta Bionics plans to make the device exclusively available in the pharmacy channel, building on its existing agreements for its current iLet insulin pump. Beta Bionics is one of several diabetes tech companies developing patch pumps to compete with market leader Insulet. Tandem Diabetes Care and Medtronic spinoff MiniMed have also announced planned patch pumps. Tandem said it plans to file a 510(k) submission this quarter for a tubeless version of its small, durable pump, and Medtronic plans to submit its patch pump to the FDA this fall.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/beta-bionics-to-launch-its-first-insulin-patch-pump-to-compete-with-insulet/821091/ XX CVS puts Zepbound back on it's coverage list – with it's Caremark PBM. They also added Foundayo, Lilly's obesity pill. CVS had dropped Lilly's Zepound last summer but kept competitor Wegovy. It'll be back at Caremark October first. All three of the nation's largest pharmacy ⁠benefit managers ​now cover Lilly's full obesity medicine portfolio. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/cvs-brings-back-coverage-lillys-obesity-drug-zepbound-2026-05-28/   More to come, including a new benefit from metformin for women, something new from Tidepool, big news for T1D in Austalia and more.. XX A new study suggests that higher long-term exposure to food colouring additives — including both synthetic and natural colourings commonly found in processed foods and beverages — may be associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers analyzed data from more than 108,000 adults in the French NutriNet-Santé cohort between 2009 and 2023, following participants for a median of just over eight years. During that time, 1,131 participants developed type 2 diabetes. The study found that people with the highest intake of total food colouring additives had a 38% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with non- or low-consumers.   Several specific additives were linked to increased risk, including caramel colouring additives such as total caramel (E150 family), plain caramel (E150a), sulphite ammonia caramel (E150d), and beta-carotene (E160a). Additional associations were observed for curcumin (E100), anthocyanins (E163), paprika extract (E160c), lutein (E161b), and cochineal-derived colourings (E120). "Our findings revealed positive associations between widely consumed food colouring additives and type 2 diabetes incidence," the authors wrote, adding that further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms behind the findings and whether food colouring regulations should be reevaluated. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/use-common-food-colours-tied-high-type-2-diabetes-risk-2026a1000hes XX Big news for Australia – their Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approves Tzield. Tzield is now approved in Australia to delay the onset of stage 3 (or clinical) T1D in people aged eight years and older with stage 2 T1D – the early, pre-symptomatic stage of the condition, where changes in blood glucose levels have begun but insulin therapy is not yet required. Breakthrough T1D Australia Chief Executive Officer, Sydney Yovic, said the approval represented a transformational moment for Australians affected by T1D. https://newshub.medianet.com.au/2026/05/landmark-approval-of-tzield-in-australia-ushers-in-a-new-era-of-delay-for-type-1-diabetes/155036/ XX https://www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/05/diabetes-pregnancy/687324/ XX A common diabetes drug may hold great potential to help with aging, even if scientists aren't exactly sure why. According to a study, the drug metformin doesn't just help patients to effectively manage their type 2 diabetes. it may also give older women a better chance of living to 90. Scientists in the US and Germany used data from a long-term US study of postmenopausal women.   Records for a total of 438 people were selected – half of whom took metformin to treat diabetes, and half of whom took a different diabetes drug, sulfonylurea.   While there are some caveats and asterisks to the study, those in the metformin group were calculated to have a 30 percent lower risk of dying before the age of 90 than those in the sulfonylurea group. The study used age 90 as the marker for 'exceptional' longevity. However, scientists aren't yet sure that the drug extends lifespan, especially in humans – which is part of the reason for this study. RCTs could follow further down the line to dig deeper into these results, the researchers suggest. In the meantime, as the global population continues to skew older, studies continue to find ways to keep us healthier for longer and reduce damage to the body as we age. https://www.sciencealert.com/a-common-diabetes-drug-is-linked-with-exceptional-longevity-in-women XX The American Diabetes Association® (ADA) will host the 2026 Scientific Sessions from June 5-8 in New Orleans. The ADA's Scientific Sessions is the world's largest diabetes meeting, convening an expected audience of over 12,000 leading physicians, scientists, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the globe. The premier diabetes meeting, which is also offered virtually, will feature the latest scientific findings in diabetes and obesity, where leading experts and peers will share findings in research for prevention, care, and cures at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Key themes will include: Advancing obesity and metabolic health: Prevention, early detection, and disease modification: Improving cardiometabolic outcomes: Transforming care through innovation and access: New research will highlight how technology, artificial intelligence, and implementation strategies are reshaping diabetes care—reducing treatment burden, expanding access, and enabling more person-centered care.

What happens when you mix the traditional storytelling of classic country with the raw, uncompromising distortion of 90s alternative rock? You get the spellbinding sound of Melbourne singer-songwriter Katie Bates. Fresh off the release of her brilliant new single "Tunnel Vision," Katie joins Jamie on the show for an intimate, deep-dive exploration of her musical DNA, the fierce grit of the Australian music scene, and what it truly means to defend your artistic identity in a fast-moving digital age. In this episode, we go far beyond the standard press junket to break down the mechanics of Katie's unique sonic friction. Raised on a steady diet of family vinyl, Katie opens up about how a childhood obsession with The Wizard of Oz unexpectedly handed her a guitar at just six years old, setting her on a path to cut her teeth in local Melbourne bars and live music clubs long before most kids her age had even finished school. Jamie and Katie dive headfirst into the fascinating philosophy behind her records, discussing why she intentionally pairs clear, soaring country vocals with the snarling, heavy production elements of grunge titans like Nirvana and PJ Harvey. They tackle the psychology of dynamic contrasts in songwriting, the unique perspective gained from stepping out of the spotlight to work as a live sidewoman for other prominent acts, and her unfiltered thoughts on the frustration of navigating today's single-driven streaming ecosystem when your heart belongs to the timeless architecture of a full-length album. Turn it up, lean in, and join us for a masterclass in independent artistry.

Sisley Fraser - The Acne Nutritionist, holistic nutritionist, and one of the leading voices in functional skin health - joins Dr. Will Cole for a comprehensive, root-cause conversation on what acne is actually communicating and what to do about it. They cover the gut-skin axis, TCM face mapping, how acne timing in the menstrual cycle points to specific hormonal imbalances, the A1 vs. A2 dairy debate, phytoestrogenic foods as gentle estrogen modulators, xenoestrogens and the toxic bucket, why most people's skincare routines are making their acne worse, and the case for going pro-fruit. Sisley also shares her minimalist skincare protocol - including Manuka honey as a morning mask - and why the conventional "avoid all dairy, restrict everything" approach is creating more problems than it solves.

Show Notes: Mehdi Frikha, founder at  mzx.ai, explains that mzx.ai builds a crew of agents for all knowledge workers, including colleagues in the Umbrex network.  Generating Brand Proposals from RFPs He introduces the first agent, Hector, which generates brand proposals from RFPs or client pitches, from as little as half a page of information. He explains that you input your output language, preferences about proposal approach, the target, the tone etc. Users can include their own PowerPoint template,  and the agent will provide a proposal that is 100% branded and 100% compliant with context, objectives, and the firm's approach. Integrating Firm Knowledge Mehdi mentions that the product is more targeted towards the European and Middle Eastern markets, where long proposals are common. He confirms that the agent can integrate the firm's knowledge, CVs, credentials, and any proprietary databases to generate a full proposal. The final product is fully branded and can be up to 40-50 pages, including all necessary elements to win the RFP or project.  Demonstrating the PowerPoint Output Mehdi demonstrates the 41-slide PowerPoint output, which is a technical proposal for an economic development strategy for AIDO(Abu Dhabi Investment Office) and offers to make the  41-slide PowerPoint output available for viewers. He explains how users simply send the request to the agent. The agent delivers a comprehensive 41 slide presentation based on the information sent.  Mehdi demonstrates how the agent presents the context and objectives of the project including the importance of AI in translating Abu Dhabi's national ambitions into localized investment. The proposal includes global benchmarks, structural drivers, competitive windows, and institutional timing. The proposal also addresses economic and market risks, environmental spatial constraints, and demographic and talent challenges. Structuring the Proposal Mehdi explains that the overall approach to the project is laid out in phases, which can be customized based on the RFP or the firm's preferences. The agent can provide guidance on the structure of the approach, including the number of phases and steps. The detailed version of the approach in this demonstration is 11 pages and can be used as a more detailed project plan. Agent Attention to Detail  Mehdi highlights the attention to detail, including real bullets, semantic selection of icons that reflect the content of the page, and consultant-compliant quality. Mehdi mentions that the agent can be trained to include details such as a placeholder slide for pricing or investment, and any necessary disclaimers in the proposal  in the future. Mehdi introduces the next agent, which translates PowerPoint presentations automatically, including complex slides with timelines and Gantt charts. He demonstrates the translation feature, which translates slides and injects the content in the right place, including right-to-left languages and timelines that read right to left. It has the ability to mirror complex slides and the potential time-saving benefits. Mehdi shows how the platform can generate research reports on any topic, using the request for an overview of nuclear submarine coolant pumps as an example. The Platform Pricing Structure In the demonstration of the third agent, Mehdi explains that the entry subscription will be $20, allowing 120 slides. Enterprise offers will be available for firms that want to deploy the platform in a private cloud, ensuring data security. Mehdi provides the website for sign-up and mentions that there is a closed beta available for interested users, and he mentions that there are many agents in development and invites feedback from Umbrex members for new product ideas.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (5.29) Conway kicks off the hour with a look at two promising new cholesterol treatments, enlicitide and VERVE-102, both aiming to help lower LDL “bad” cholesterol — but in completely different ways. One sounds like the future of medicine, and the other sounds like Conway is ready to gamble on it like a casino bet. Then the crew dives into the viral Trader Joe’s Sweet & Sour Gummy Worms story. These innocent-looking candies are loaded with fiber, and because the bag doesn’t exactly scream “high fiber warning,” some shoppers are eating way too many and ending up with stomach rumbling, gas, and a surprise bathroom emergency. The ultimate buzzkill candy. Later, Conway tells his Egg McMuffin story after going 35 years without one, explains how he managed to annoy a pharmacist at CVS, and breaks down the chaos of picking up everyone’s Starbucks drinks. The hour wraps with one of the strangest side hustle stories yet: a 23-year-old creator making serious money selling videos of herself farting. Forget Etsy, rideshare, and vintage clothes — this is the new economy, and Conway has questions. cholesterol treatment, LDL cholesterol, VERVE-102, enlicitide, Trader Joe’s gummies, Sweet & Sour Gummy Worms, high fiber candy, bathroom emergency, Egg McMuffin, CVS pharmacy, Starbucks order, weird side hustle, fart videos, viral story, funny podcast, Conway Show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when you trade the comfort of a small town for the beautifully unpredictable journey of a music career? In this episode, country-pop singer-songwriter Neah McMeen sits down with Jamie to share the raw truth about chasing dreams in Music City. From balancing online health science studies at Kansas University to finding creative sanctuary on long drives, Neah opens up about the exact moment she decided to pursue music with a "no holds barred" mindset. We dive deep into how her heartland roots in Webber, Kansas shape her worldview, the pressure of singing the national anthem versus a vulnerable Nashville songwriter round, and the vital importance of surrounding yourself with the right team. If you're trying to navigate your own season of uncertainty, Neah's story is the reminder you need that sometimes not knowing the destination is the most honest part of the road. ⚡️ JOIN THE INNER CIRCLE: Before you listen, make sure you are signed up for The Vanguard, our weekly newsletter.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/newAIP In this episode with Mickey Trescott, you'll hear how she went from bedridden at 26 with Hashimoto's and celiac to overseeing four pilot trials, helping grow a community of 1,000 trained AIP practitioners, and writing the first official update to the Autoimmune Protocol, including a new modified version for people who found the original too restrictive. We cover what a full day of eating on AIP actually looks like, why food sensitivity panels cannot replace elimination and reintroduction, how to use WHOOP to track food reactions, the genetics of autoimmunity, the iodine problem in Hashimoto's, and why three out of four people who follow AIP properly get meaningful clinical improvement. Mickey is a nutrition professional and one of the founding leaders of the Autoimmune Protocol movement. She wrote the original AIP cookbook, which became the definitive guide to the protocol. Her new book, The New Autoimmune Protocol, releasing May 26, 2026, includes detailed meal plans and 70+ recipes across both the core and modified protocols. Pre-order your copy here.

What happens when a powerhouse music industry executive who spent 35 years breaking global icons is forced to pause, look back, and ask what truly matters? Today on Jrodconcerts The Podcast, we sit down with legendary music executive, talent booker, and experiential strategist Bobbii Hach-Jacobs. In this deeply personal and inspiring conversation, Bobbii opens up about her incredible energy, her career driving national radio promotion for superstars like Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz, and the profound story behind her debut book, Lessons From a Shoebox: The Importance of Faith, Family, and Leaving a Legacy. Born from the heavy moment she was handed a simple shoebox containing the entirety of her late mother's remaining belongings, the book is a masterclass on navigating loss, finding clarity, and staying grounded in your values. Bobbii also shares how early parental loss frequently shapes the world's highest achievers, honors the fierce resilience of her late father—a WWII veteran who survived the Great Depression—and gives us an exclusive inside look at her latest venture with Wildflower Entertainment Group: the epic Backstage Access Napa Valley destination experience. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SHOW The Heart of Hustle: Where Bobbii finds her relentless, unstoppable daily energy.

What actually allows chiropractors to stay excited about practice 20 years in instead of burning out?  In this conversation, Dr. Lona sits down with Dr. Carla LeClerc to unpack the realities of long-term practice growth, leadership, mentorship, and building a chiropractic business that keeps evolving. Dr. Carla shares stories from opening practice, surviving major setbacks like flood damage and 2020 shutdown pressures, building a strong team, and eventually growing into a teaching clinic with associate doctors and students. The conversation repeatedly comes back to one central idea: practices continue growing when chiropractors stay playful, stay mission-driven, and continue pouring into people instead of building everything around themselves. Key Highlights 02:49 – Hear why Dr. Carla says practice becomes more fun over time and how strong team culture, shared values, and staying connected to chiropractic keep long-term practice sustainable. 04:12 – Discover how one screening conversation at CVS turned into a 20-year patient relationship and why chiropractors can never underestimate the impact of one conversation. 05:59 – Learn why Dr. Carla teaches her team to always think about “the one person” during screenings and how purpose-driven outreach creates more authentic communication. 07:21 – Understand why staying playful in practice matters more than waiting for future success milestones and how joy and energy directly affect long-term growth. 09:50 – Hear why Dr. Carla wishes she hired an associate doctor earlier and how associate growth creates more leverage, support, and durability inside a practice. 11:30 – Learn why building a practice around personality instead of systems eventually limits growth and why leadership requires building a mission bigger than yourself. 12:43 – Discover the leadership lesson Dr. Carla learned from keeping the wrong team member too long and how tolerance eventually impacts culture and momentum. 14:59 – Hear Dr. Carla share her vision for the next 20 years of practice including building a stronger teaching clinic and mentoring more chiropractors. 16:12 – Understand why chiropractic needs more students, more mentors, and more successful business owners to expand the profession and create greater community impact. 19:23 – Learn why business mentorship after chiropractic school is critical and how learning entrepreneurship inside a functioning clinic shortens the learning curve for young doctors. 22:23 - Dr. Eric sits down with Jeff Van Kampen from Success Partner Clinic Growth Accelerator to explore how chiropractic practices are using Meta ads, data tracking, and lead qualification systems to create more predictable patient growth. Jeff shares how filtration, conversion tracking, AI follow-up tools, and long-term patient nurturing are helping clinics improve lead quality, increase ROI, and scale with greater confidence and clarity.   Resources Mentioned For more information about Clinic Growth Accelerator please visit:  https://growyourclinic.com/ To schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Lona: https://go.oncehub.com/DrLonaBuildPodcast To schedule a Strategy Session with Dr Bobby: https://go.oncehub.com/DrBobbyBuildPodcast Learn more about the Remarkable CEO Podcast: https://theremarkablepractice.com/podcast

We're talking about progesterone: what it does, who might need it, and a moment that honestly made me look at everything I was putting in my body a little differently. I'll tell you about the day I flipped over a bottle at CVS and felt my stomach drop. Oh — and we're also getting into something nobody talks about enough: what progesterone has to do with your skin. That's where we're starting. See you in the episode.

Emily Angeloni co-founded WOW Recruitment in Sydney at 22. No salary for six months. Just her laptop, working from a building set for demolition. Nine years later: a team of 18 across every major Australian state, New Zealand, and the United States. One of the most respected boutique sales and marketing agencies in the country.The year she became a mother, her co-founder told her he was leaving. She came back from maternity leave to a business that had saved every problem for her return, hit a serious road block, and stood in a strategy offsite thinking she could not do it anymore. She needed to rediscover her why.She did. WOW has since had its strongest period in nine years. But then she had a valuation done. And as she says herself: valuations can be a pretty uncomfortable truth.This week on The RAG Podcast, Emily breaks down what it actually looks like to lose a business partner, build something you are not sure you even want to continue, find the clarity, and watch everything change.We cover:- How a co-founder exit right before maternity leave forced Emily into the driver's seat for the first time- Why she seriously considered walking away from nine years of work, and what made her stay- The rookie hiring model that cost WOW its billing average, its culture, and its margins- How she redesigned her role entirely around what she loves: external focus, 18 people, zero internal ops- The five-year plan to build an asset with freedom of choice, not a job she cannot leave- Why a recent valuation was an uncomfortable truth and what it sharpened her focus on- What AI is actually changing for WOW's delivery model right now-Why personal brand has been her competitive advantage since 2017 and how it converts to real revenueLosing a co-founder. Building something you are not sure you even want any more. Then getting clear on the why and watching everything change.More founders have been down this road than would ever admit it. Emily is just prepared to say it out loud. Nine years in, she is building something worth having on her own terms, and working out exactly what that is worth.If you've ever wondered what it looks like to rebuild a business around a life you actually want to live, this episode has the blueprint.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Admin is a massive waste of time.

Redefining Healthcare Through Relationships, Purpose, and Personalized Care with Dr. Stevi Jenkins-KellyGuest: Dr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly, PharmD, Founder of My Concierge Pharmacy Host: Julie RigaWhat if your pharmacist knew your name, your goals, and your complete health story rather than just your prescription number? In this episode, Julie Riga sits down with Dr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly, a visionary pharmacist and founder of My Concierge Pharmacy. Together they explore how she left corporate pharmacy to build something new, a practice grounded in personalized service, trust, and a whole-patient approach to wellness. If you have ever felt like just a number in the system, this episode will inspire you to lead with more intention in your own work and life.Redefining Healthcare Through Relationships, Purpose, and Personalized CareAbout the GuestDr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly is a licensed pharmacist with over 25 years of experience, including time at major chains such as CVS and Publix. She founded My Concierge Pharmacy in West Palm Beach, Florida after finding that most systems are built for volume, not genuine patient care. Her practice is completely independent, self-trademarked, and rooted in one guiding principle: pharmacy as a relationship, not a transaction.She holds advanced certifications in diabetes care and collaborative practice and specializes in medication management, chronic disease support, and preventative health. She serves patients across Florida and Pennsylvania, with direct delivery and personalized consultations at every stage of life.Fun Fact: Dr. Stevi loves salmon in every form. Lox and bagels with capers and onions is her absolute go-to.The Three Ingredients for Concierge Success1. Service as a Foundation True service is never transactional. Dr. Stevi built her team culture around being service-minded at every level. When you are moving a patient out of a system that has failed them, you must become the new definition of what great care looks like.2. Trust Through Follow-Through Trust is built by doing what you say you will do, every single time. My Concierge Pharmacy proactively manages patient profiles, coordinates with providers, and connects with each patient a minimum of six times per year. Patients soon find they do not need to chase anyone because someone is consistently and genuinely watching over their care.3. Customization That Feels Personal Concierge care is never cookie-cutter. Whether the patient is a parent preparing for summer, an elderly person managing chronic illness, or a performance athlete focused on longevity, every care plan is built specifically around that individual. Intentional personalization is what sets real concierge care apart from everything else.Key Insights from This EpisodePharmacists are trained in anatomy, biochemistry, and treatment protocol, making them the chemistry and treatment counterpart to a physician's diagnostic approach. Most patients never access this full depth of knowledge because corporate environments do not allow for it. Concierge pharmacy is changing that reality.Dr. Stevi also applies a micro-therapy model, focusing on one health challenge at a time rather than overwhelming patients with everything at once. This approach builds clarity, confidence, and a genuine sense of control over personal health, growth, and life balance.Connect with Dr. Stevi Jenkins-KellyWebsite: www.myconciergepharmacy.com Book a consult to explore whether concierge pharmacy is right for you.

On this episode of Jrodconcerts, we sit down with acclaimed Americana and Country singer-songwriter Jade Jackson. Known for her unfiltered storytelling and deeply evocative vocals, Jade joins the show for a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the realities of the creative life, the grind of the road, and the profound moments of resilience that completely reshaped her artistry. We dive deep into her journey, exploring the jarring shift from the adrenaline of late-night post-show routines back to the mundane reality of everyday errands. Jade opens up about how her early days waitressing and meeting people from all walks of life directly fueled the vivid imagination that drives her songwriting today. She also shares what it was like growing up with limited technology in her home, and how that forced isolation ultimately helped her cultivate her unique creative voice. As the conversation unfolds, Jade pulls back the curtain on her daily writing discipline, how she navigates the ebb and flow of the creative process, and why she believes accepting that not every song is a masterpiece is crucial for an artist's growth. She also discusses the ultimate challenge for any creator in a fast-paced environment: how she manages to protect her sense of small-town wonder amidst the noise of the Nashville music scene. Most importantly, Jade shares the incredibly vulnerable story of a severe back injury that almost derailed her life completely. She reveals how moving through that trauma ultimately gave her a powerful new purpose and an unbreakable mindset moving forward. Plus, we explore her deep musical kinship with Aubrie Sellers, what she hopes her ultimate musical legacy will be decades from now, and we feature her song, "Daddy Tried." This is an incredibly inspiring, grounding conversation about staying true to your art and surviving the odds.

Eight years later it's profitable, in Target, Walmart, CVS, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and on Amazon. Never raised a dollar. Never grew less than 33% year over year.In this episode Katie walks through how she built a category that didn't exist. Manufacturers didn't know what chafe was. Press didn't know what chafe was. The Today Show hit on June 30, 2017 and they sold out every unit by July 1. Then the real work started.Inside: why retail is when the grind begins (not when you've made it), why she still ranks "people just dealing with it" as her biggest competitor, the husband-given marketing fix that solved deodorant aisle confusion in one sticker, the accidental Amazon Super Bowl ad placement, why their hemorrhoid product is a top seller on Amazon, and the moment her sister convinced her soap was worth doing.Plus the new "I'm Not Fine Index" campaign, why NYC taxi ads outperform every digital channel they run, and the one piece of advice Katie has for anyone shipping a product in 2026.Catch the DTC and Pilothouse crew at The Whalies May 19 in LA.Timestamps:0:00 Building a brand around chafe2:58 How Megababe started11:00 Selling out after the Today Show14:10 Retail growth at Target and Walmart20:05 Why Megababe started advertising27:10 Building a real brand voiceSubscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://dtcnews.link/pilothouseFollow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video

In this episode of Jrodconcerts The Podcast, we go behind the curtain with Tiff Randol, the multidimensional artist, composer, and producer known as IAMEVE. Tiff's journey is a masterclass in artistic evolution—from her formative days interning at Philip Glass's Looking Glass Studios (where she was a fly on the wall for David Bowie's recording sessions) to becoming a powerhouse composer for major projects like Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters and Ray Donovan. We dive deep into the technical and emotional craft behind her latest music, including the single "Desire" and her album Legacy. Tiff also opens up about her experience as a neurodivergent creator and her vital advocacy work as the co-founder of Mamas in Music, a global nonprofit reshaping the industry infrastructure for caregivers and mothers. Inside the Episode: The Creative Hack: The power of splitting time between the industry energy of the West Coast and the sanctuary of Upstate New York. Leaning Into the Shadows: Navigating the dark electronic textures of her single "Desire" without losing herself in the process. The Bowie Influence: What it was like seeing David Bowie and Philip Glass work in the studio and how that shaped her technical "hybrid language." Neurodivergence as an Advantage: Why having a "different process" can be a secret weapon for creative world-building. Mamas in Music: The mission to dismantle the "disappear or burnout" expectation for mothers in the industry. From Screen to Sound: The visceral feeling of hearing her compositions in a movie theater and on hit television series.

Wall Street suits think they can roll up blue-collar businesses with just a spreadsheet. But without true boots-on-the-ground experience, they usually end up buying a fleet of broken equipment and alienating the entire workforce.In this episode of the Acquisitions & Asphalt series, Sam Silverman brings on Jeff Livingston (CEO/Operating Partner of Nationwide Paving) and Chris Wirthlin (CFO of The Pave) to break down what actually happens when you pair a sharp financial team with a 30-year paving veteran.They break down the "Anti-PE" approach to acquiring service businesses, and pull back the curtain on how to find massive hidden margins that financial due diligence completely misses.They cover:Why traditional private equity fails at service-based roll-ups, and how to actually win the trust of legacy foundersThe psychology of acquisitions: How taking over back-office billing turned an "I'm retiring in 6 months" founder into an "I'll stay 'til I'm 80" partnerDue diligence secrets: Why the crew in the field will tell you the truth about a company long before the owner's financials ever doEquipment reality checks: How to spot "junk" machinery that standard financial appraisals completely missFinding hidden cash: How bringing subcontractor work and traffic control in-house instantly saved $10,000 a dayThe power of geographic density: Building economies of scale by sharing yards, equipment, and corporate infrastructure across regional footprintsDominating corporate contracts: How to win national accounts (like Wells Fargo and CVS) with 24-hour proposals and insane operational speedThe Buffalo CVS case study: The logistics of flying a single operator 1,000 miles to fix a pothole and still maintaining high marginsThis is a weekly series.

You know what fascinates me about modern politics? Politicians always sound like motivational speakers trapped inside a hostage video. Every speech begins with, “We want better schools, safer neighborhoods, stronger communities…” and somehow it ends with your kid unable to read cursive, your grocery bill looking like a ransom note, and your city requiring a tactical extraction team just to buy toothpaste at CVS.

Anlu Keeve and Makone Maja discuss Minister Motsoaledi's comments regarding the judges' impartiality in the NHI Con Court challenge, Tshwane Mayor's appearance at SCOPA, and the ANCYL's call to supporters to bring CVs to President Ramaphosa at the June 16 event.

Charlie Saffro started CS Recruiting by accident. Pregnant with her third child, out of a job overnight, doing free matchmaking from the school carpool line in Chicago. Her first placement fee was $1,200 with a year-long guarantee. Sixteen years later, she had built a $5 million logistics and supply chain recruitment firm with 48 employees at its peak. Inc. Best Workplaces honouree. TEDx speaker. A brand built entirely on the idea that business is personal. Then the market turned. Three brutal years, 2022 to 2024, forced her to halve the team. On Thanksgiving 2024, she took a walk with her husband and said the words out loud for the first time: "I'm done." She sold CS Recruiting on December 1st 2025. The same year her oldest son left for college. Within weeks, the woman who had been needed by everyone suddenly wasn't needed by anyone. "Who am I without these titles? Who am I if I'm not in charge of my kids, if I'm not in charge of my team?" This week on The RAG Podcast, Charlie opens up about the reality of selling a recruitment business and what comes after. We cover: How an advertising career in downtown Chicago accidentally led to a logistics recruitment firm Why her first big client needed 200 hires and she had zero recruiters How personal branding on LinkedIn generated more business than any marketing budget The moment on Thanksgiving that triggered the decision to sell after 16 years What it actually takes to sell a recruitment business that carries your name Why she describes life after the exit as "grieving" The parallel between sending your kid to college and handing over your company How she navigates being an employee inside someone else's business after being a founder What she wishes someone had told her before she signed the deal So many recruitment founders think about selling one day. Very few actually do it. And almost nobody talks about what happens after the champagne stops flowing. If you have ever wondered what it really feels like to sell the business you built from nothing, to hand over the team you hired and the brand you created, this episode is the most honest answer you will hear. __________________________________________ Episode Sponsor: Atlas Let's be honest.

In this episode, we're joined by the members of Lombardy, a band that is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of the Nashville alternative scene. Fresh off the release of their new album, Catch A Buzz, Not The Fuzz (East Iris Records), the guys stop by to pull back the curtain on their creative process and the DIY spirit that drives them. We explore the "Lombardy Sound"—a unique blend they describe as a "beautiful gumbo"—and the serendipitous chemistry that happens when a band simply "clicks."

Unhealthy relationships can feel like a whirlwind, and that speed can be the point. We sit down with Laurilyn to trace how early conditioning around silence, safety, and approval can echo into adulthood as people pleasing, self-abandonment, and repeating the same relationship dynamics. Her story moves from a childhood shaped by fear and consequences to the reality of emotional abuse, violence, and the complicated question of when it's safe to speak your truth.From there, we get practical about healing. Laurilyn explains why personal safety is her top core value, how she exits conversations that aren't safe, and what it looks like to rebuild self-trust one choice at a time. We also dig into concrete self-love practices that aren't fluffy, including daily journaling, “dating yourself,” and learning to stop outsourcing your worth to partners. The big shift is moving from need and negotiation to alignment and boundaries.Then the lens widens to communication skills. Laurilyn shares what solo travel taught her about nonverbal communication, tension, and the power of the unspoken. She breaks down her CHAT Communication System, a communication styles framework designed to help you meet people where they are, whether you're navigating dating, family dynamics, leadership, or workplace conflict. You'll also hear actionable tips for writing emails and CVs that land with different communication styles.Subscribe to Multispective, share this conversation with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more listeners can find these stories.Send us Fan MailSupport the showAdditionally, you can now also watch the full video version of your favourite episode here on YouTube.

Send us Fan MailOn today's commute, Paul goes from Cinco de Mayo recovery jokes to a surprisingly deep conversation about cities, crime, business, and community responsibility.After hearing a discussion about Walgreens and CVS stores shutting down in parts of Chicago, Paul dives into the bigger question:When businesses leave struggling neighborhoods… who's really at fault?Is it corporate greed? Theft? City leadership? Economic reality? Or are communities asking the wrong questions entirely?From pharmacies closing and elderly residents losing access to medicine, to gas station psychology and why stores really want you walking inside, this episode turns a short drive into a real-world conversation about capitalism, convenience, accountability, and the changing face of American cities.

Job seekers say not being able to tell if some companies are using AI to screen their cover letters and CVs is dehumanising.

Wát een drukke beursdag hebben we weer achter de rug. Wolters Kluwer, DSM-Firmenich, Philips, Ahold Delhaize en Adyen. Allemaal kwamen ze met kwartaalcijfers. Over die twee laatste bedrijven hebben we het uitgebreid. Beide worden namelijk geraakt door Trumps beleid. Zowel Ahold als Adyen hebben namelijk last van de lage dollar. In het geval van Ahold zorgt dat voor een stuk lagere omzet. Deze aflevering staan we stil bij dat probleem. Hoe lang gaat dat nog de resultaten drukken? En wat kunnen de bedrijven doen om de schade te beperken? Ook staan we stil bij het vertrek van Frans Muller. Sinds 2018 was hij ceo van de supermarktreus, maar hij gaat volgend jaar vertrekken. Daarnaast staan we stil bij Philips. Dat heeft een tijd lang beleggers teleurgesteld, maar niet vandaag! De winst nam flink toe en ook de impact van de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten valt mee. Wel is het opvallend dat het (voor de tweede keer op rij) de tandenborstels en scheerapparaten zijn die een flinke groei laten zien. Verder hebben we het over Novo Nordisk. Het bedrijf achter Ozempic heeft (net als Philips) wat lastige maanden achter de rug, maar is weer back in business. Dit keer niet met Ozempic, maar met Wegovy. Geen prik, maar een pil. Eentje die het goed doet. Als je van Amerikaanse aandelen houdt, kan je je lol op. We staan namelijk ook stil bij Disney, ADM, Uber en nog heel wat andere bekende namen.

Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld.

We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts.

حلقة جديدة من البودكاسترز مع وائل الفخراني، المدير التنفيذي لشركة أدوبي في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وأفريقيا، في حوار مهم عن الذكاء الاصطناعي، مستقبل الوظائف، التعليم، التوظيف، الإدارة، والنجاح في عالم بيتغير بسرعة. بنتكلم في الحلقة عن سؤال شاغل ناس كتير: هل الذكاء الاصطناعي ممكن فعلًا يخلّي أغلب الناس من غير شغل؟ وإزاي الأهل يفكروا في مستقبل ولادهم وسط كل التغيرات اللي بتحصل في سوق العمل؟ وائل الفخراني بيشرح ليه محدش يقدر يتنبأ بالمستقبل بشكل قاطع، وليه الـ AI مش بس تهديد، لكنه كمان أداة قوية لأي حد بيعرف يطوّر نفسه ويستخدمها صح. كمان بنتكلم عن أهمية الخبرة العملية، وهل الجامعة لسه ليها قيمة؟ وإيه الفرق بين الشهادة والمهارة؟ وإزاي الشركات بتفكر في التوظيف دلوقتي في عصر ممكن فيه الـ AI يكتب CV ويجهز إجابات انترفيو كاملة. الحوار كمان بيدخل في فلسفة الإدارة، اختيار الناس، التعامل مع الموظفين، عصفورة المكتب، الفيدباك، المسؤولية على القائد، وفكرة إننا “فريق مش عيلة”. و النقاش بيروح لمناطق أعمق عن النجاح، الفلوس، القناعة، Work-Life Balance، وحب المشكلة قبل ما تدور على الحل. حلقة مليانة أفكار عملية وصريحة لكل حد مهتم بمستقبل الشغل، الذكاء الاصطناعي، الإدارة، وتطوير الذات A new episode of Elpodcasters with Wael ElFakharany, Managing Director Adobe Middle East and Africa, in an important conversation about artificial intelligence, the future of jobs, education, hiring, management, and success in a world that is changing fast. In this episode, we discuss a question many people are asking today: Can artificial intelligence really leave most people without jobs? And how should parents think about their children's future in the middle of all the changes happening in the job market? Wael Fakharany explains why no one can predict the future with certainty, and why AI is not only a threat, but also a powerful tool for anyone who knows how to develop themselves and use it properly. We also talk about the importance of practical experience, whether university still has value, and the difference between having a degree and having real skills. The conversation also explores how companies are thinking about hiring today, especially in an era where AI can write CVs and prepare full interview answers. We also discuss management philosophy, choosing the right people, office snitches, feedback, leadership accountability, and the idea that “we are a team, not a family.” The discussion goes deeper into success, money, contentment, Work-Life Balance, and why understanding the problem deeply matters before trying to solve it. An episode full of honest and practical ideas for anyone interested in the future of work, artificial intelligence, management, and self-development. ‎اسمعوا البودكاسترز على | Listen to El-Podcasters on Spotify - https://anchor.fm/elpodcasters Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/eg/podcast/el-podcasters/id1633419184 Anghami - https://play.anghami.com/podcast/1029463712 El-Podcasters Social Media | منصات التواصل الإجتماعي للبودكاسترز: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elpodcasters Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@elpodcasters Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/elpodcasters Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/elpodcasters/ X - https://www.twitter.com/elpodcasters Snapchat - https://snapchat.com/t/3Zbo2vzS Bassel Alzaro - https://www.instagram.com/basselalzaro https://www.facebook.com/BasselAlzaroX https://snapchat.com/t/CoWlatfk Karim Rihan - https://www.instagram.com/karimrihann Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tune in to a wild, unfiltered hour of The Other Side of Midnight, where host Walter Sterling takes you on a chaotic late-night ride through politics, urban decay, and bizarre conspiracies. Sterling kicks things off by questioning the hypocrisy of Paul Pelosi's forgiven PPP loans before diving headfirst into dark theories about Jeffrey Epstein, exploring claims that he was a billionaire-funded "construct" designed to blackmail corporate CEOs. The phone lines stay red-hot as callers share everything from frustrations over NYC bus evictions and immigration policies, to wild tales of hidden staircases behind CVS makeup counters. Mixing heavy rants with pure nostalgia, Sterling also reminisces about the lost luxuries of flying—like filet mignon in coach—praises the essential tracking capabilities of the Mr. Softy ice cream app, and sends well wishes to "America's Mayor," Rudy Giuliani.

AI in healthcare is no longer a futuristic concept. It's already answering the phones at your local CVS. We're pulling back the curtain on how AI is currently being used in pharmacy practice, from encrypted "VA GPT" systems for note-writing to controversial new phone bots that some patients claim are a "stain on society". We dive into the big news of the CVS and Google Cloud partnership to launch Health100, a platform designed to integrate your refills, copays, and even wearable health data into a single AI-driven hub. While the promise of centralized care sounds like a dream, the "real-world" experience can feel like a nightmare. We react to a brutal Reddit thread and even call a CVS live to demonstrate the frustration of wrestling with a robot that refuses to transfer you to a human. Whether you're a "tinfoil hat" wearer worried about data leaks or someone just trying to get a prescription after surgery, you need to hear the clinical and personal reality of the AI takeover. This show is intended for educational and informational purposes.

Tennessee lawmakers have passed a major pharmacy reform bill aimed at pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, by barring companies from owning both a PBM and a pharmacy. The legislation is widely seen as targeting CVS Health, which owns Caremark and operates pharmacies across the state. Supporters say the bill is designed to curb vertical integration, restore fair competition, and protect independent pharmacies from reimbursement practices they view as harmful to patient access and community pharmacy survival. CVS has pushed back hard, warning that the new law could force it to shut down its 134 Tennessee pharmacy locations and trigger a legal challenge. The company argues the measure would reduce access for patients and does not directly address broader PBM issues like pricing or formularies. This Tennessee fight reflects a larger national battle over PBM reform, pharmacy ownership, market power, and the future of prescription drug access.  

Last week I told you my story. This week I want to talk about yours. Because whether you have been losing weight and feel strangely anxious about it, or you have been stuck and doing things in secret you would never do in the daylight, I think the same belief is running in the background. And once you see it, so much of the struggle starts to make a different kind of sense. This episode is for two women. The one hanging on by her fingernails as the weight comes off. And the one in the CVS parking lot who does not fully understand why she keeps ending up there. Both of them are dealing with the same thing underneath. And this episode names it.   What You'll Learn in This Episode Why weight loss can feel dangerous even when it is working How the belief "it's not safe to be fully me" shows up differently depending on where you are in your journey Why secret eating is not a discipline problem and what it actually is Why you cannot lose your way into feeling worthy, and what actually changes the verdict The brain science behind why trying harder keeps backfiring How to start building safety one small honest choice at a time Key Takeaway You are not doing it wrong. You are covered. And there is a very big difference between those two things. The woman underneath the hiding, the patterns, and the protection has been there the whole time. The sun has been shining. This episode is about starting to let her out.   Listen If You've Ever Thought... "Why do I feel more anxious the more weight I lose?" "I keep eating in secret and I don't fully understand why." "I just want to feel normal around food." "I'll finally feel okay about myself when I reach my goal weight." "I know what I want to do. Why can't I just do it?"   Enjoy This Episode? Subscribe to The Confident Body Podcast so you never miss an episode. Every week I talk about the mental and emotional side of weight loss that diets never touch. Things like self-trust around food, breaking free from diet rules, emotional eating, and building a relationship with your body that actually lasts. If this one landed somewhere real for you, it would mean so much if you left a review. It helps other women find the show and feel a little less alone in this.

Can you take a clean beauty brand built on accessibility — and evolve it into a global “everyday luxury” powerhouse without losing what made it special? On today's episode, we welcome Michael Marquis, CEO of Raw Sugar Living — the personal care brand known for bringing clean, high-quality products to the masses at an accessible price point. With more than 30 years of experience across global consumer giants like Johnson & Johnson — where he led iconic brands including Listerine, Clean & Clear, and OGX — Michael brings a unique combination of operational discipline and brand-building expertise to Raw Sugar's next chapter. Since joining the company in 2022, Michael has led Raw Sugar through a period of rapid growth and transformation, expanding distribution across major retailers like Target, Walmart, and CVS while strengthening the brand's foundation in clean, vegan-friendly formulations and its signature design. Now, he's guiding the company through a major evolution — reimagining the brand with updated packaging, improved formulas, and a sharper positioning around “accessible everyday luxury.” In this episode, Michael shares what it takes to execute a thoughtful rebrand without alienating loyal customers, how to build and sustain strong retail partnerships, and why operational excellence is critical when scaling in a competitive category. We also discuss the evolution of the clean beauty market, shifting consumer expectations around transparency and ingredients, and how leadership — including his perspective as a father — shapes both company culture and long-term strategy. If you're interested in scaling consumer brands, navigating rebrands, or building products that balance quality, accessibility, and growth — this episode is for you.

They cover the ancestral food framework for postpartum recovery, how to weigh vaccine decisions using actual data rather than fear or ideology, what colonics can and can't do (and when they become a problem), and what the latest HHS and EPA initiatives mean for everyday Americans.

Inequality.org (3/4/26) This week on CounterSpin:  Tesla reported $5.7 billion in US profits in 2025 and paid $0.0 in taxes. As Rebecca Crosby and Judd Legum at Popular Information report, there's little mystery to this miracle: Tesla used corporate tax breaks, proffered by Trump and co. in what reporters with straight faces call the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—including 100% bonus depreciation; and they exploited a long-standing deduction for executive stock options. At least 88 profitable corporations have reported paying $0 in federal income taxes last year, according to the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy. Citigroup, CVS, Walt Disney—they “made” billions but, weirdly it turns out, they somehow owe the federal government bupkis, whereas you and I are playing a chump's game, evidently. Cheaters cheat, grifters grift, but why do news media label companies “successful” when that success stems from cheating and grifting and, crucially, shafting their workers? Sarah Anderson directs the Global Economy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies and co-edits the site Inequality.org. She's written a new report that gets to the heart of America's “Low-Wage Employers and the Affordability Crisis.” We hear from her this week. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260417Anderson.mp3 Fight for the Future (4/13/26) Also on the show: The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is a nonprofit digital library with the fundamental mission of preserving web pages. For example, a union organizer used it to look up old job listings and check how what the company says it offers has shifted over time. When police edited a press release after a journalist reported on it, and then said her report was false, she was able to prove that the department had changed their statement. It's kind of Information 101. But it's under threat. We hear about that from artist and activist Lia Holland, campaigns and communications director at the group Fight for the Future. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260417Holland.mp3

Don't use your divorce attorney as a therapist. Lazlo wants the doctors to push him in the water, and could probably make the High School JV Golf Team if he tried. SlimFast LOVES it when fireworks go wrong. CVS should round DOWN for sick children. A man set a lady on fire, and there's a bill trying to get kids off social media.
