A player-organized "PlayStation Blackout" recently asked Sony's hardcore customers to stay off of PSN for a mere week. It was a no doubt modest ask -- one that wasn't going to break the brand -- and it's always nice to see people try and do something when they deem it necessary. But if data from reliable US industry tracking firm Circana is any indication, the PlayStation Blackout had no discernable effect on their data whatsoever. When does initiative end and performance begin? If something is clearly not working, should one's tactics change? Perhaps most importantly, does a movement, no matter how laudable, need actually likable leadership to be effective? One thing's for sure: The blackout was a dud, something its most ardent champions cannot (or perhaps will not) square. Other news this week includes rumors surrounding Media Molecule's next game, an altered update approach for Bungie's Marathon, the reported closure of MindsEye studio Build A Rocket Boy, the trademarked sequel to 2023's beloved Lies of P, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! Are Sony games victimized by over-focus testing? Should we be worried about Housemarque's future? Why don't more scary games launch in October?

Pick up my new book The American Nightmare! => Click Here! In Today's Episode This week, we have been confronting the cost of the aimless man and learning that a man without purpose will spend his life building another man's dream[1]. On Tuesday, we laid out drifting versus driven, and yesterday we broke down the four pillars of the Purpose Code[1]. Today, we are putting boots on the ground with tactical daily execution to turn your mission into reality[1]. Here are the five non-negotiable execution steps you need to take every single day: Ask the question: Wake up and ask yourself, "What am I fighting for today?" You must know exactly who you are fighting for and who you are fighting against[1]. Attack with intention: Do at least one specific thing that directly serves your why every single day[1]. Cut the distractions: Kill whatever pulls you off your mission—cut out the people, places, things, and environments that weaken your drive[1]. Lead by example: Stop just talking about it and let your kids catch you doing it right[1]. Evening reflection: Before you go to sleep, ask yourself the hard truth: "Did I live with purpose today, or did I drift?"[1] Tomorrow, we are wrapping up this entire series, recapping the week, and getting ready to go into the weekend to kick some ass and lead our families spiritually, physically, and financially[1]. Warriors, let's get your s*** together. Let's go.[1]

What are your plans for the rest of the year? Who's still racing? Where are we going, and what are we looking forward to most?
What the fuck is a "meaningful relationship" anyway?We use phrases like meaningful relationship, substantial time, shared care, attachment and best interests so often in separated-parenting conversations that sometimes we stop asking what they actually mean.And that matters, because somewhere along the way, "children benefit from healthy relationships with both parents" can quietly become "children need equally strong relationships with both parents" - and then "more parenting time creates a 'better relationship' ."But are those actually the same proposition?In Episode 2 of When Children Resist or Refuse Danielle explores the assumptions hiding inside familiar family-law and separated-parenting language.We look at the difference between a parenting arrangement and a parent-child relationship; why attachment and relationship history cannot be reduced to a percentage of nights; what research can - and cannot - tell us about quantity of parenting time; and why a child can love a parent without wanting to live with them for a particular amount of time.We also ask a question that will keep appearing throughout this series:Are we protecting the relationship - or are we protecting the parenting schedule?Because a Court can allocate parenting time. It cannot allocate emotional intimacy.And apparently the sophisticated critical-thinking methodology for this entire discussion is now:TABLE. Stop. Define the fucking thing.This episode also continues the countdown to the Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™ turning ONE on 27 September 2026, with more information about the birthday celebration and limited-time offer coming soon.This podcast provides general educational information and is not a substitute for legal advice or individual coaching specific to your circumstances.Support: If you are in Australia and need to talk to someone, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is available 24/7.

What happens to your body image when it feels like everyone around you is shrinking? Is it possible to be genuinely happy for someone else's weight loss and still feel completely thrown by it? In this episode, we sit down together to unpack what's coming up for so many women right now as GLP-1s and rapid weight loss dominate conversations everywhere. We get into a moment where a comment about someone's changing body turns into a bigger question about whose body gets discussed and why, the line between respecting someone's body autonomy and absorbing new pressure ourselves, and the social comparison that still shows up after years of body acceptance work. Here's what we cover: Weight bias doesn't disappear when weight loss becomes easier, it just changes shape Staying in a larger body gets read as a choice the moment a drug exists that could shrink it Thin privilege is real, and it shows up differently depending on who's in the room Body trends have cycled through decades of history, which says more about culture than about bodies Body neutrality can be a more honest goal than chasing body positivity every single day How body grief fits into body acceptance, and what happens when you skip it Self discovery matters more than any number a scale or a drug can give you What to do with your social feed, your conversations, and your values, including where self discovery comes in If you've ever felt like the only person in the room whose body hasn't changed, this conversation gives you company and a way to think about it that doesn't start with your body.

Any team can fill a whiteboard with ideas in an hour. What most teams skip is the analytical thinking that tells them if they're solving the right problem. An idea pointed at the wrong problem is wasted no matter how clever the idea is, and you usually don't discover this mistake for years. By the end of this episode, you'll have four steps you can run on a real problem this week, the three thinking traps that can derail you, and a practice drill to sharpen your analytical thinking. To help explain how and the power behind this skill, I will use a real-world example. In the summer of 1854, cholera hit one small corner of London's Soho area, and by the time it burned out, 616 people were dead, most of them within a few streets of each other. The experts had an explanation ready. Cholera came from bad air, a poisonous vapor rising off filth and rot, called miasma, and that was the official position of the men in charge of public health. A doctor named John Snow didn't argue with them. He walked to the General Register Office, asked for the list of the dead, took that list out into the streets, and knocked on doors until he found that nearly all of them had lived a short walk from one water pump on Broad Street. We'll follow what he did as he applied each of the four steps I'm about to share. Let's get into it. What Is Analytical Thinking? Analytical thinking gets confused with critical thinking all the time, and the difference decides which skill you reach for. Critical thinking judges a claim: someone tells you something, and you ask whether it's true, who is saying it, and what they left out. I covered that in the critical thinking episode, and it's worth watching if you haven't already seen it. Analytical thinking starts when there is no claim on the table yet, just a mess. Sales are down twelve percent. Your best people keep leaving. A project that looked healthy in March is three months late in September. Nobody has handed you an argument to evaluate, so there's nothing yet to be critical of. You have to work out what's going on. Snow's story shows the gap. Critical thinking, applied carefully in 1854, points you straight at the Board of Health, because they were the credible source making a claim, and the credible source was wrong. In the critical thinking episode, we briefly touched on breaking a problem into pieces. In today's episode, we focus on breaking the problem into pieces and then analyzing each one. Why Analytical Thinking Is Eroding Most people remember Snow for the famous cholera map, the one with little black bars stacked along the streets of Soho, piling up around the pump. That map didn't exist in September 1854. A mapmaker drew it for a book Snow published the following year. The real work involved a list of names and a lot of walking. Today, most of us only ever see the finished map. We rarely do the work that produces it. Think about the last dashboard you looked at. The numbers arrived already cut into pieces, by region, by quarter, by product line, and somebody chose those cuts, months ago, for a question they had then. When the slicing arrives pre-made, you've inherited someone else's answer and never noticed. AI summaries go one step further. You ask what's going on, and you get back a paragraph shaped exactly like a conclusion: confident, organized, finished. It never asks you to decide where to look, and that decision is the skill. Like any skill, it only improves when you make it yourself. Keep the dashboard. But you need to be able to do the same work yourself, by hand, when the dashboard doesn't answer your question. The Four Steps Snow's work, and the work of anyone good at analytical thinking, has four steps: Break the problem into pieces Find the pattern inside them Test whether your read is right Look out for the thinking traps Step 1: Break the Problem Into Pieces A problem that feels overwhelming is a problem you haven't cut into pieces yet. The skill is deciding how to split it. The steps to break a problem into pieces: Write the problem down as a fact. "Renewals dropped from eighty percent to sixty-eight percent this year." Not "customers hate the new pricing." That one assumes the answer before you've done the work. Split the problem into pieces that add up to the whole. New customers and existing ones. This region and that one. Online and in-store. If the pieces overlap or leave something out, you'll double-count or miss what matters. Follow the piece that moved, and keep splitting it. If the drop sits almost entirely in one region, split that region again. If it's spread evenly across everything, that's a clue too, and it points you toward something that touches everything. Stop when a piece is small enough to act on or to ask a person about, because past that point more analysis just delays the decision. Get the rows behind the chart. Snow didn't work from a death rate for the district. He worked from eighty-nine names and eighty-nine addresses, and the addresses were where the answer was. How Snow split the problem made all the difference. Everyone else was sorting the neighborhood by what it smelled like. Snow sorted it by where people got their water. Done honestly, this is twenty minutes and one sheet of paper. At the end, you want a short list of pieces that add up, with the one that moved circled. Step 2: Find the Pattern Step 1 tells you where the damage sits. This step is about what those pieces have in common and finding the exceptions. Snow focused on the exceptions, starting with the ones that seemed to contradict him. There were only ten deaths in houses that sat closer to a different pump, so he visited those families. Five of them told him they always sent for water from Broad Street because they liked the taste better, and three more of the dead were children who went to school near the pump. Then he looked at the places that should have been hit and weren't. A workhouse on Poland Street, nearly surrounded by houses where people had died, held more than five hundred people and lost five, but it had its own well. A brewery sat on Broad Street itself, seventy men working a few doors from the pump, and none of them died. The owner told Snow his men got a daily allowance of beer and never drank the water. The cluster told Snow where to look, and the exceptions are what convinced him he was right. The steps to find the pattern: Hunt the exceptions in both directions. Who has the problem and shouldn't? Who should have it and doesn't? One exception, like the brewery, will usually teach you more than ten more examples that fit. Ask what the cluster and the exceptions share that nothing else does. This is the moment the analysis reveals something, so slow down here. Write out what's true of the cases that have the problem: where they are, who touched them, what they use, when it started. Then cross off anything that's also true of the cases that don't have it. Snow could cross off the street, the smell, the crowding, and the poverty, because the workhouse and the brewery sat in all of it and stayed healthy. What survived was the water, and whatever survives your crossing-off is the candidate. Keep asking why until you reach something you can change. Taiichi Ohno, the engineer behind the Toyota Production System, taught this with a machine that stopped. The fuse had blown, but it blew because a worn shaft had starved the bearing of oil, and the shaft wore out because nobody had fitted a strainer to keep scrap from getting into the machine and damaging the shaft. Stop at the first answer, and you replace the fuse, and the machine stops again next month. Two questions do most of the work in this step: What changed right before the numbers did? Who is closest to the problem and hasn't been asked? Snow's best evidence came from a brewery owner and a few families, and nobody had thought to ask any of them. What you want at the end of this step is one sentence naming the likely cause, written so that somebody could go and prove it wrong. "People who drank from the Broad Street pump got cholera" can be checked. "Something in the environment is making people sick" can't be checked, which is part of why the miasma theory lasted so long. Step 3: Test Your Explanation A pattern is your best read, but it's still a bet. Testing is how you find out whether the bet is any good before you spend money, or reputation, or lives on it. Snow's strongest evidence wasn't in Soho at all. A widow out in Hampstead, miles away, died of cholera on September 2nd. There was no cholera in Hampstead, and she hadn't been near Broad Street in months. But she'd lived there once, and she liked that pump's water so much she had a bottle of it brought out to her by cart. Her niece visited, drank the same water, went home to Islington, and died the next day. There was no cholera in Islington either. That's powerful evidence: a case far from the outbreak that only the pump could explain. On the evening of September 7th, Snow took his case to the parish authorities, and the next day the handle came off the pump. Here's the part people usually leave out. Snow wrote afterward that the deaths had already started to fall before the handle came off, so he couldn't claim the pump was still the source, and he refused to take credit the evidence didn't support. A local clergyman, Henry Whitehead, closed the case. Whitehead set out to prove Snow wrong, went house to house on his own, and ended up tracing the first case: a five-month-old baby at 40 Broad Street, whose mother had rinsed the soiled cloths into a cesspool a few feet from the well. Steps to test your explanation: Write down what else has to be true if you're right, then go looking for the case that would embarrass you. If the pump is the cause, people who drank from it far from Soho should get sick, and people living beside it who drank elsewhere should stay healthy. The widow in Hampstead was exactly that case. Define the criteria that would prove you wrong before you go looking. Why? Because if you decide afterward, you'll find a way to rationalize what you already believed. Hand your work to someone who wants you to be wrong. Whitehead set out to disprove Snow and ended up strengthening his case. Run the cheapest test you can. Pulling a pump handle costs nothing and can be undone tomorrow. Most business problems have a small, cheap test: a price change in one region, one week with a different process, one customer call. By the end of this step, you want a test you can run in a week and a result that would make you drop the idea. Step 4: Avoid the Analytical Traps Three failures show up again and again, and all three look like good analysis from the outside. The steps to stay out of the traps: Set the decision date before you start. The first trap is paralysis. You keep splitting and keep asking for more data, because deciding feels riskier than analyzing. Snow didn't wait for proof. He had a strong case and a cheap, reversible action, so he acted. Match the proof you need to the cost of being wrong: pulling a pump handle needs a strong case, and a decision you can't walk back needs a much stronger one. Round the number back to what you actually know. The second trap is false precision. A forecast of 23.4 percent growth sounds more rigorous than "somewhere between fifteen and thirty." If the inputs were guesses, the precision is invented, and everyone who sees it trusts the number more than they should. Carry the uncertainty through to the answer. Go find the numbers that disagree with you. The third trap is confirmation bias dressed up as data, and it's the most dangerous because it looks like evidence. You already believe the answer, so you find the slice of the numbers that agrees. The miasma camp had real observations on its side. Cholera did hit the poorest, most crowded, worst-smelling streets hardest. That was true, and it pointed at the wrong thing. I did a full episode on confirmation bias, and the short version is this: when the evidence against you is hard to find, that's when you need to look hardest. Three things to have in hand before you act: The date you'll decide An honest range instead of a false decimal The strongest evidence you could find against your own answer Practice Exercise: The Root-Cause Drill In the critical thinking episode, the exercise was a debate. This one is a drill, and you'll need a partner, because you'll see the structure of someone else's problem more clearly than your own. Each of you brings one real problem with a number attached. Something current, where you don't know the answer. For example: turnover on your team, or a metric that went the wrong way. Swap problems and break each one into pieces on a single sheet of paper, with the pieces adding back up to the whole. Give it fifteen minutes. Circle where the problem concentrates, then find one exception. If you can't find one, you haven't split finely enough. Ask why until you hit something changeable. Write the pattern as one sentence that could turn out to be wrong. Hand it back. The owner designs one test they can run within a week that could prove the pattern false. Meet again after the test. Compare what you expected with what happened. The gap between the two is where you learn the most. The first time, it'll feel slow. By the third, you'll catch yourself taking problems apart in meetings before anyone has finished describing them. The Rewards After the outbreak passed, the authorities put the handle back on the Broad Street pump, and the official inquiry blamed the epidemic on bad air. Snow's analysis was right; it was on paper, and the people in charge rejected it anyway. It took years for everyone else to catch up with what he had worked out from a list of names and a few weeks of knocking on doors. This is the reality of what analytical thinking will and won't do for you. It won't make people believe you, and on its own it won't win the room. What it does is get you to the right answer while everyone else is still debating which expert to believe, and give you the evidence to back it up. It gives you the early insight that others are missing. The next time a number goes the wrong way, don't start by guessing at the cause. Get the details, break the problem into pieces, and work from there.
The Fed is set to announce its latest rate decision, but the bigger question may be whether the bond market has entered a new regime.Chuck Zodda and Marc Fandetti discuss why today's Fed meeting matters, what Kevin Warsh needs to prove in his press conference, and how the 10-year Treasury crossing 5% has raised bigger questions about real rates, deficits, and the cost of servicing U.S. debt. They also break down why higher real interest rates could create long-term fiscal pressure, whether a 50-basis-point hike would be too much, and Todd Lutsky joins for Ask Todd to explain probate, trust planning, Medicaid planning, and irrevocable trusts.

“You're creating change just by being you.” — Stephanie Kaplan Losing her father at 14 was a defining moment for Stephanie Kaplan. The monarch butterfly became her beacon of light on her wedding day in 2020, and she was escorted down the aisle with a kaleidoscope of monarch butterflies serendipitously. It was a sign to Stephanie that her father was indeed with her. After working in tech and sales, Stephanie took the leap into entrepreneurship and became a coach, helping founders, executives, and investors navigate the personal side of leadership, growth, and success.In this episode of the Step Out of Line Podcast, “Learning How To Define Happiness,” we talk about recognizing your potential, trusting your path, and knowing that no one can take away your gifts or what you're capable of creating.Because happiness might just begin with seeing yourself and your possibilities more clearly.
Travis Chappell joins DeAndre Woodson on the Double Down podcast for a conversation about reinventing yourself, taking calculated risks, and staying consistent long enough to see your efforts compound. Travis shares how he went from door-to-door sales to podcasting, navigated failed businesses and major pivots, and eventually decided to go all-in on podcast sponsorships. He also explains how he decides when it's time to move on from something, why freedom and autonomy are worth more to him than maximizing income, and how nearly a decade of consistency has made podcasting the most successful thing he's ever done. On this episode we talk about: Why Travis took a massive pay cut to leave door-to-door sales and pursue podcasting How failed businesses, COVID, and changing circumstances forced Travis to reinvent himself The decision to go all-in on podcast sponsorships instead of starting another business Why Travis uses the “deathbed frame” when making major life and business decisions How to recognize when it's time to reinvent yourself versus simply pushing through a difficult season The danger of the sunk-cost fallacy and staying committed to something simply because you've invested years into it Why Travis values freedom and autonomy more than maximizing his income How connection became the central theme behind Build Your Network, Travis Makes Friends, and Dinner Party Why building meaningful relationships can have a greater impact on happiness than material success The role relentless action and consistency played in Travis's nearly decade-long podcasting journey Why people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year but underestimate what they can accomplish in a decade How small wins compound when you stick with something long enough Why Travis believes podcasting remains an under-saturated opportunity despite what people say How being willing to play the long game can give you an advantage over competitors who quit Why Travis is willing to spend years building something even if it doesn't become successful immediately Top 3 Takeaways 1. Know when to pivot—and know when to persevere.Reinvention isn't about quitting every time something gets difficult. Travis looks at whether he's experiencing temporary pain from an obstacle or whether he's facing a fundamental problem that continued effort isn't solving. 2. Consistency compounds.Travis has started and shut down numerous businesses, but podcasting is the one thing he has consistently done for nearly a decade. That consistency has ultimately made it his most successful endeavor. 3. Define success beyond money.Travis could potentially make more money by returning to sales, but he values freedom, autonomy, family time, and meaningful relationships more than maximizing his income. The right opportunity isn't always the one that pays the most. Notable Quotes “It's just relentless action against a desired result, even in the face of obstacles.” “People tend to overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in a decade.” “The only thing I've ever done consistently for a decade is the podcast, and it is, ironically, the most successful thing I've done.” “I'm okay with the trade-off of giving up money in exchange for a high volume of freedom and autonomy.” “Only good things can come from that, you know what I mean? Even if it's not directly monetizable.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://instagram.com/travischappell Website: https://travischappell.com Learn more about your ad choices.

How can businesses turn growing investment in AI infrastructure, cloud capacity and devices into outcomes that employees, customers and finance teams can actually measure? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Neil Sawyer, who manages HP's business across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Neil works with companies across one of HP's largest global regions as they move from AI experimentation into wider deployment, making him well placed to discuss what happens when early enthusiasm encounters cost, security, governance and the realities of the workforce. We begin with the gap between building AI capacity and applying it to a business problem. Data centers, models and powerful devices provide options, but the investment only becomes useful when a company identifies the workflow it wants to improve. Neil argues that leaders should begin with the outcome, understand where AI can remove friction and decide how they will measure productivity, employee experience and business performance before buying another layer of technology. That raises a difficult question about productivity. If AI helps someone complete a task faster, does the organization use that saved time to improve the work, develop new ideas and give employees room to think, or does it simply add another task to the queue? I share my own experience as a business of one, where every efficiency gain has a habit of becoming extra output rather than a Wednesday afternoon at the cinema. Neil compares the current moment with earlier periods of industrial change and makes the case that automation should release people from repetitive administration so they can contribute creativity, judgment and higher value work. We also discuss why AI costs are becoming a boardroom issue. Token based services and agentic systems can produce growing and unpredictable bills as adoption spreads across a company. Neil explains why every workload does not need the same model or environment. Large language queries may benefit from cloud capacity, while sensitive data, company specific information and some recurring tasks may be better suited to local or on device processing. The decision affects cost, responsiveness, privacy, security, data sovereignty and environmental impact. Neil describes HP's view of hybrid AI, including devices with neural processing units and Z by HP Boost, which can connect available workstation GPU resources. He also explains why device refresh decisions should reflect workforce personas. A data scientist, account manager and office administrator may work for the same company, yet their computing needs can be very different. Mapping technology to the employee's role can help a business spend with greater discipline while giving people the performance they need. The conversation also covers governance and measurement. Informal use of public AI services can be difficult to see, assess or manage. Neil recommends giving employees an approved AI toolkit, using enterprise services that provide telemetry and examining how technology availability and performance affect the employee experience. Adoption figures can show that a tool is being used, but they do not prove that it is improving an outcome. We finish with a practical checklist for leaders. Define the outcome, identify the workflow, determine where each workload should run, calculate the cost, agree the measures of success and put clear controls around data, privacy and cybersecurity. That approach gives cloud and device based AI distinct jobs within the same business strategy. How is your organization deciding which AI workloads belong in the cloud, which should run closer to the employee, and whether the investment is producing measurable value? Share your thoughts with me.
Carl and Mike get back into more football talk as they react to reports Kevin Stefanski confirms Deshaun Hand will be out for the remainder of the season due to a torn quad and Chris Lindstrom is in the concussion protocol and the team will monitor his status this week ahead of Sunday's divisional game against the Panthers. They then share thoughts on how they believe the Falcons may be defined following the season opening loss.
OTFC is gone. That was not a small supply hiccup. It punched a hole in the old TCCC pain plan.George Barbee, a PA and co-author of TCCC Guideline Change 25-03, walks Dennis through why the committee rebuilt battlefield analgesia instead of patching the old triple-option chart.They screened 56 analgesics. They built an objective matrix. They landed on suzetrigine: non-opioid, mentation-sparing, slow onset, long duration — a drug that can keep a still-fighting casualty in the fight and then carry them into prolonged care.The bigger shift is the fork in the road. Not “mild / moderate / severe” as four overlapping options. Can they stay in the fight, or not? Functioning casualties get a non-sedating pack. Non-functioning casualties get a shock-agnostic pathway so you are not stacking drugs blindly down the continuum.Ketamine is still the drug you reach for when you have almost no information. Nystagmus is not the goal. It is the “you gave too much, back off” line. Option 4 sedation is being pulled out of TCCC and written into PCC, where it belongs.If you still teach OTFC, still dose to shaking eyes, or still treat every casualty like they need a narcotic, this episode is the update.Read the change paper @ www.prolongedfieldcare.orgor https://jsomonline.org/Follow @prolonged_field_careTop 5 takeawaysThe change was forced. OTFC disappeared, GWOT safety data said the old plan was too loose, and LSCO needs mission-capable pain control plus a safer path for people who cannot stay in the fight.Suzetrigine is the new stay-in-the-fight drug. Non-opioid. Cognition and blood pressure mostly spared. About a 2-hour onset, long duration. Pair it with meloxicam and acetaminophen for the functioning casualty. Muscle spasm in 1–10% is not a seizure and does not get benzos.Stop using four overlapping “options.” Define pain with the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale. Rough cut: 1–6 can often still function and self-declare. 9–10, polytrauma, multi-amp — they are out of the fight. Medics already know this on sight. The guideline finally says it.Ketamine stays, but the endpoint is not nystagmus. If you have almost no information, ketamine is still the safest narcotic start. Reduction of pain means the casualty and the medic can both manage the situation. Nystagmus means you crossed the line. Fixed-dose ketamine in a bleeding patient can get weird as volume drops — not usually lethal, still a problem.Option 4 is leaving TCCC. Heavy sedation and procedural endpoints are being moved into the PCC update. TCCC keeps the systematic, stack-aware, evidence-based path so the next provider is not surprised by what you already gave.Chapters00:00 — Disclaimer and open00:23 — Dennis and George: who wrote the change02:10 — If it ain't broke, why touch analgesia?02:56 — We lost OTFC03:11 — Safety, LSCO, and early pain vs PTSD04:27 — Mission-capable control and a shock-agnostic path05:48 — How suzetrigine beat 56 other drugs09:38 — Why this non-opioid survived the matrix11:33 — Spasm vs seizure: do not reach for benzos13:33 — Stay in the fight vs cannot14:20 — The old “triple option” was actually four15:06 — Defining pain with the DVPRS16:10 — The stay-in-the-fight pack: suzetrigine, meloxicam, Tylenol17:20 — What “reduction of pain” actually means18:15 — Esketamine: more analgesia, fewer side effects27:38 — If you only get one narcotic, start ketamine28:56 — Esketamine, IN 28 mg, and the 4PANE study30:15 — IV, IO, IM, IN: why they kept the nose33:07 — Pain control vs nystagmus35:26 — Option 4 is moving to PCC36:41 — Chest tubes, crics, and the sedation gap37:54 — Next: backing the PCC analgesia update38:48 — Read JSOM Change 25-03 and close
Send us Fan MailNonprofit success planning may be a better fit for today's volatile operating environment than the traditional three-year strategic plan. Jeffrey Wilcox, President and Chief Learning Curator at Third Sector Company, challenges nonprofit leaders and boards to stop treating planning as an event and start treating it as an ongoing organizational process.“Strategic planning is an antiquated term. What we really are talking about now is success planning,” Jeffrey says. That distinction changes a lot! Instead of organizing a plan around departments, fundraising, programs, governance, and other organizational functions, Jeffrey encourages nonprofits to identify the forces that will either lead them toward (or away from) success.That means defining the achievements the organization actually wants to create, understanding its role within the community ecosystem, listening to stakeholders, examining financing rather than simply fundraising, and being willing to confront uncomfortable organizational truths.Leadership transition becomes part of that strategy.Jeffrey explains why transitional leaders should not be viewed as nonprofit “substitute teachers” keeping operations moving until the next CEO arrives. Their job can be much larger: build organizational capacity, reduce future executive attrition, establish shared truth, challenge assumptions, build stakeholder buy-in, and prepare the runway for the organization's next leader. “You are the runway. You are not the jet”, he adds. Third Sector Company typically views this intentional transition as roughly a 9-to-14-month process and not a quick executive search. Jeffrey also shares that its Interim Executives Academy has trained 850 nonprofit professionals across 47 states.The larger business lesson is provocative: planning should not end when the strategic plan is finished. Nonprofits operating amid changing funding, public policy, workforce expectations, community needs, and leadership turnover need a management process capable of learning and adjusting as conditions change.Key Takeaways:Shift organizational planning from functions and activities toward the forces that drive success.Define success before hiring the leader expected to deliver it.Treat planning as an ongoing management process—not a completed project.Establish “shared truth” using data, organizational reality, and stakeholder perspectives before choosing direction.Use transitional leadership to build capacity and create a stronger runway for the permanent successor.Expect meaningful leadership transition to require sustained work; Jeffrey describes a roughly 9-to-14-month process.00:00:00 Rethinking Nonprofit Strategic Planning 00:02:26 The Leadership Succession Problem 00:04:26 Why Traditional Strategic Planning Falls Short 00:07:18 Strategic Planning vs. Success Planning 00:10:35 Better Questions Create Better Strategy 00:13:37 Rethinking Interim Leadership 00:19:08 Building the Transition Team 00:23:55 Leadership Transition as Capacity Building Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Who will define us—God or the world around us? Using the illustration of a surveyor's benchmark, this message explores who God is, who we are, and the relationships and responsibilities he has entrusted to us. From our identity as male and female to God's design for marriage, we face a personal decision: Will we allow Jesus to define our lives? God is the benchmark. Christ is the cornerstone. His Word does not move.

En el episodio de hoy Juan Manuel de los Reyes y Valentina Orduz analizaron dos de los resultados corporativos más comentados de la temporada. Repasaron el trimestre de Oracle, que sorprendió con ingresos de $19,350 millones de dólares y un crecimiento del 121% en su nube de infraestructura, aunque explicaron por qué el mercado reaccionó con cautela ante el enorme gasto en centros de datos, el flujo de caja libre negativo y la concentración de contratos en clientes como OpenAI. También examinaron a Adobe, que reportó ingresos récord de $6,760 millones de dólares y avances en IA, pero enfrentó dudas sobre la conversión de sus usuarios gratuitos en clientes que pagan. El episodio cerró con una mirada al dato de inflación al consumidor y su influencia sobre las próximas decisiones de la Reserva Federal.

CDI, coding, and clinical medicine are involved in a tug-of-war over a complex, life-threatening medical emergency that seems resistant to all forms of consensus. I'm talking about sepsis of course, and on today's show I got to talk about sepsis with someone as qualified as anyone in the world to do so. Steven Simpson, MD, is Professor of Medicine at the University of Kansas in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. He has done research in all areas of severe sepsis, from molecular and cellular mechanisms to translational and quality improvement studies. He is currently chair of the board of directors for the Sepsis Alliance and an author of the 2016, 2021, and 2025 reviews and updates of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines. I'm also joined by James Kennedy, MD, CCS, a familiar name and voice for anyone involved in CDI and coding circles. Listen in as we cover: Dr. Simpson's deep and rich background in sepsis, including early clinical days with septic patients, working with Drs. Bone and Balk who created Sepsis-1, and his role on the Sepsis Alliance. Co-authoring the 2026 Surviving Sepsis Guideline that defines sepsis as a “life-threatening acute organ dysfunction to infection”: His stance on sepsis-2 and sepsis-3. The politics of definition and diagnosis: Who gets to write these definitions. The struggle: Reconciling sepsis-2 with sepsis-3, further complicated by CMS' use of sepsis-2 in its new sepsis readmission measure. What's the right answer for this, if there is one? Looming sepsis proposal to create codes for “impending sepsis,” the role of AI-technologies (e.g., Sepsis ImmunoScore, TriVerity) in identifying these patients, and what the University of Kansas is doing to identify and intervene on infected patients before they evolve into organ dysfunctions. Plans for future work for other sepsis-related concepts, payers and denials, and a pair of songs for the Off the Record Spotify playlist.

Clarity doesn't come from saying something once. It comes from building a lighthouse people can actually see, feel, and follow. Rosie and Nikki talk about creating alignment, especially when change is constant. Rosie breaks down three powerful tools leaders can use: building a clear organizational "lighthouse," applying the Five C's to decisions and communication, and focusing change efforts on the people most ready to move forward. From operationalizing values to defining what "done" really looks like, Rosie and Nikki explore why leaders must reconnect people to purpose, communicate clarity repeatedly, and reinforce the behaviors they want to see. If your team is navigating change, competing priorities, or organizational swirl, this episode offers simple practices to help everyone row in the same direction.

If you're trying to figure out how to manage employees who are smart, capable and experienced—but somehow every decision still comes back to you—the problem may not be your team.You may have accidentally taught them that asking you is easier than making the decision themselves.It happens for all the right reasons. You know the answer. You want to help. And sometimes it feels much faster to make the call and move on. But every time you do, you may be solving today's problem while reinforcing tomorrow's dependency.One of the most important leadership skills you can develop is knowing when not to provide the answer. If you want to know how to lead a team that can think independently, start by returning the thinking to them. Ask: What do you think we should do? What have you considered? What would you recommend?That shift creates space for stronger decision making—but questions alone aren't enough.How to manage employees with greater ownership also means being clear about decision-making authority. What can your people decide independently? When should they involve you? What financial, policy or other guardrails need to be in place?This matters when holding employees accountable, too. You can't give someone responsibility for an outcome while requiring your approval for every meaningful decision that affects it. Many leadership struggles in teams start when we hand over the responsibility without enough authority to go with it.So this week, choose one category of decisions your team is capable of making that you're still making for them. Give them ownership. Define the guardrails. Then pay attention to what you do when that decision comes back to you.Because learning how to manage employees isn't about becoming the person with all the answers. It's about building the capability around you so you don't have to be.If you're ready to take this further, join me for the Beyond the Bottleneck Masterclass on September 30 at 1 p.m. Mountain / 3 p.m. Eastern.

In the final installment of this five-part series, Travis Chappell and producer Eric Skwarczynski discuss why product-market fit matters more than purity, preference, or appearances. From Panda Express's unapologetically American Chinese positioning to the debate over meat substitutes and alternative foods, they explore how businesses win when they meet real demand, communicate honestly, and avoid forcing customers into products they do not genuinely want. On this episode we talk about: Why people's food preferences are often shaped by taste, texture, preparation, and familiarity The difference between disliking an ingredient and refusing to try a food prepared well How expanding your palate can create new experiences and opportunities Why great preparation can change people's minds about foods such as sushi, oysters, escargot, frog legs, and alligator The value of product positioning that is clear, honest, and aligned with customer expectations Panda Express's broader lesson: businesses do not get to dictate what customers value Why consumers may prefer familiar, satisfying products over healthier alternatives that feel like compromises How brands can avoid disappointment by creating a distinct category rather than trying to imitate a product customers already know and love A producer's lawsuit involving the hit film Obsession and the importance of clear compensation agreements Why creative collaborators should define profit participation, credit, responsibilities, and decision-making authority before a project succeeds The new extended-format experiment across Travis Makes Friends and Travis Makes Money Top 3 Takeaways Make products customers genuinely want—not products you think they should want. Demand is proven through real behavior: purchases, repeat customers, recommendations, and willingness to choose your product over alternatives. Clear agreements matter most when success is uncertain. Before creative work begins, document who owns what, who receives credit, what each person is responsible for, and how profits or upside will be shared if the project exceeds expectations. Stay open-minded, but be honest about the experience you offer. People can discover they enjoy unfamiliar things when they are prepared well, but a brand should not overpromise that a substitute will be exactly the same as the original. Notable Quotes “All food can be good if it's prepared the right way.” “I like anything that's good.” “If it's truly what happened, then she deserves 33 and a third percent of that money.” “People decide.” “People have lost a lot of money creating things that people should want.” “Money only solves your money problems, and it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell/ Website: https://travischappell.com/ A Word from Our Sponsors: - The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.

Sponsored by Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. Intended for US Audiences. This information is for general purposes only and is not a substitute for consulting your healthcare provider about food allergy treatment. Brooke and Dr. Ari Zelig have been financially compensated by Genentech and Novartis for their participation in this episode. What does it actually look like to build a full, independent life while managing severe food allergies? In this episode, Whitney is joined by Brooke, a 28-year-old medical student living with food allergies, alongside board certified allergist and immunologist Dr. Ari Zelig, for an honest conversation about navigating everything from childhood birthday parties to dating, travel, restaurants, and everyday situations involving food. Brooke shares how being diagnosed with multiple food allergies forced her to become her own advocate at a young age, and how they ultimately shaped her confidence, relationships, and the physician she hopes to become. Dr. Zelig also discusses the importance of individualized food allergy management and shares information about a treatment option, XOLAIR (omalizumab), an FDA-approved prescription medication for subcutaneous use that can help reduce allergic reactions to multiple foods that may occur after accidental exposure in people with IgE mediated food allergies one year of age and up. While taking XOLAIR you should continue to avoid all foods to which you are allergic. Together, Dr. Zelig and Brooke explore how patients can work with their allergists to create a plan that helps them navigate life while prioritizing safety. Whether you're living with food allergies yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply want to better understand the daily realities, this episode offers practical insights, encouragement, and a reminder that food allergies don't have to define your life. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with food allergies, talk to your allergist and ask about XOLAIR. You can also find more information at XOLAIR.com. XOLAIR is one of several available treatment options for IgE-mediated food allergy and it may not be appropriate for all patients. What is XOLAIR? XOLAIR® (omalizumab) for subcutaneous use is an injectable prescription medicine used to treat food allergy in people 1 year of age and older to reduce allergic reactions that may occur after accidentally eating one or more foods to which you are allergic. While taking XOLAIR you should continue to avoid all foods to which you are allergic. It is not known if XOLAIR is safe and effective in people with food allergy under 1 year of age. XOLAIR should not be used for the emergency treatment of any allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. What is the most important information I should know about XOLAIR? Severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis can happen when you receive XOLAIR. The reaction can occur after the first dose, or after many doses. It may also occur right after a XOLAIR injection or days later. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening condition and can lead to death. Go to the nearest emergency room right away if you have any of these symptoms of an allergic reaction: • wheezing, shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness, or trouble breathing • low blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, rapid or weak heartbeat, anxiety, or feeling of “impending doom” • flushing, itching, hives, or feeling warm • swelling of the throat or tongue, throat tightness, hoarse voice, or trouble swallowing Your healthcare provider will monitor you closely for symptoms of an allergic reaction while you are receiving XOLAIR and for a period of time after treatment is initiated. Your healthcare provider should talk to you about getting medical treatment if you have symptoms of an allergic reaction.

Aaron Judge is returning, but nobody truly knows how healthy the Yankees captain actually is. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate the most likely ways Judge's season ends, from a World Series run to another injury derailing his comeback, and question whether he may simply be pushing through pain because October is approaching. The conversation also veers into a wild internet conspiracy theory claiming Judge's absence was actually a secret PED suspension, an idea Evan firmly denounces despite the suspicious timing fueling online speculation. Plus, the crew compares Zach Wilson and J.J. McCarthy as quarterback disappointments and debates which former first-round pick deserves the harsher bust label.
We're kicking off our tenth season of Future U. And as a new school year gets underway, Jeff and Michael reflect on a slew of pressing issues facing higher ed. Forget the idea that every college has to be comprehensive. The new challenge for every college will be deciding what to offer and how to sell their value to increasingly skeptical students and parents. And college leaders must also contend with new directives from the Education Department, what to do about AI, a growing loneliness crisis on campus, and more.

Welcome to the Monday Minute, brought to you by Auto Analytix – your 52-week guide to a better dealership. A quick reset to help you lead better, think clearer, and build your dealership with intention. Before we get started, make sure you have reviewed Sunday's newsletter. It lays out the full theme for the week, the why behind it, and simple exercises you can work through with your team. The Monday Minute is the mindset. The newsletter is the roadmap.You spent weeks finding the right person. You interviewed them, you hired them, they actually showed up on day one – and then you handed them a login, pointed them toward the bathroom, and told them to follow Bob around. That is not onboarding. That is how good hires wash out in thirty days while you wonder what went wrong.In this episode, Jeff and Luke make the case that hiring gets someone in the door – but onboarding determines whether they stay, whether they perform, and whether they actually become part of what you are building. Jeff breaks down what those first two weeks really need to accomplish: the new hire is quietly figuring out how things work, what is expected of them, what they can get away with, and whether they made the right decision coming to work for you. A good onboarding process does not have to be complicated – it just has to be consistent. That means a seven-day checklist covering what they should learn, who they should meet, which systems they need access to, which policies they need to understand, and which processes they need to observe before they try to run them. It means assigning a mentor – not a manager, but someone they can ask the embarrassing questions without fear. And it means teaching them not just what to do but why you do it that way, because that is how culture gets passed on instead of accidentally dismantled by someone who never knew it existed. Luke adds the five-things framework – every position has five things a person must master to succeed in that role. Write them down, train on them, practice them, and then measure them. AI can help you get those things out of your head and into a checklist in minutes. But do not confuse having materials with actually training – training takes repetition, coaching, and feedback, and it does not end after the first month.Your assignment this week: build a seven-day onboarding checklist for every position in your dealership. Assign every new hire a mentor on day one. Define the five things each role must master and write them down. Then after a couple of weeks, ask your newest employee what is still confusing and how you can make the next onboarding even better. They will tell you – especially if they plan to stay.Review this week's Sunday newsletter at TheIndependentDealer.com for the full theme and exercises.Not subscribed yet?

Tesla's growth has slowed, and the affordable new model many people expected hasn't arrived. Did Tesla abandon its high-volume ambitions—or choose a different path to get there? In this video, I share my theory about why Elon Musk went all in on Cybercab and FSD, what that decision may have cost Tesla in the short term, and how it could lay the foundation for an entirely new lineup of affordable, autonomous vehicles. I explore the tradeoff between building a cheaper conventional Tesla and designing a vehicle around the rider from the ground up. I also outline a six-step path from Cybercab to broader consumer sales and high-volume production. This is my interpretation of Tesla's strategy, with plenty of speculation—not a confirmed product roadmap. Execution, software readiness, and regulatory approval still matter. Would you have built a cheaper Tesla with a steering wheel first, or made the Cybercab bet? Share your thoughts in the comments. 00:00 What happened to Tesla's growth? 02:12 Where is the cheaper Tesla? 04:32 My thesis on Tesla's future 05:15 Cybercab vs. a cheaper conventional Tesla 09:23 Elon's all-in decision 11:05 The complexity of driver controls 11:48 Why focus and urgency matter 14:30 Lessons from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google 19:44 Cybertruck's shortfall 21:17 Model Y and the missing growth vehicle 23:10 How Cybercab could unlock growth 24:06 Step 1: Define the future of transportation 25:06 Step 2: Build the software and vehicle 26:59 Step 3: Prove it works 28:03 Step 4: Obtain regulatory approval 28:32 Step 5: Sell to consumers 29:19 Step 6: Expand the vehicle lineup 31:54 Short-term costs and risks 32:41 Tesla's potential next growth era 35:13 Closing thoughts Social

Host Jennie Nash talks with novelist and journalist Caroline Madden about why writers crave traditional publishing deals and how that desire can become an unhealthy obsession tied to external validation and “pick me” energy. Madden recounts a 20-year path to publication, including losing two agents and dying on submission, then changing her writing through Lisa Cron's Story Genius, Nash's Blueprint for a Book, and Donald Maass's Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook; her later two novels earned deals, including her debut The Marriage Vendetta (HarperCollins) and a forthcoming book. They discuss how redefining “why,” setting a bigger North Star (for Madden, contributing to feminist issues), releasing desperation, and defining success concretely can stabilize writers through rejection and shifting goalposts. Madden advises seeking blunt, market-informed feedback from industry professionals and emphasizes control through craft and writing rather than chasing validation.#AmWriting is a reader-supported publication.

They make bold predictions involving Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Patrick Mahomes, JSN, Christian Watson and more.

Money can get you started.But it will not always keep you going.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we break down the deeper reason behind the entrepreneurial grind and why every founder needs a mission that can survive the hard seasons.Because if your only motivation is money, status, luxury cars, or proving people wrong, you may not have enough fuel to keep going when business gets difficult.Paul explains why money is a great motivator in the beginning, but a weak foundation when the pressure gets real.When the numbers are down, the team is struggling, the market shifts, and the stress hits, shallow motivation will not carry you.A real mission will.In this episode, you'll learn:Why money is a strong starter but a weak long-term motivatorHow to connect your daily work to a purpose bigger than yourselfWhy the people depending on you can become your strongest reason to keep goingHow mission-driven founders build deeper resilienceWhy purpose can help you outlast competitors who are only chasing quick moneyThe truth is simple:You cannot survive the grind if you do not know what you are fighting for.Maybe your mission is building generational wealth.Maybe it is retiring your parents.Maybe it is creating opportunities for your family.Maybe it is changing an industry or serving people at a higher level.Whatever it is, your “why” has to be strong enough to carry you through the moments when the money alone is not enough.Mission-driven founders are dangerous because they are not just chasing profit.They are building something bigger.They outwork.They outlast.They hold the line.And when the mission is strong enough, the money becomes a byproduct.Define the mission.Anchor yourself to the outcome.Refuse to quit.And keep leveling up.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

Send us Fan MailAdversity may become part of your story—but it does not have to define who you are.In this episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, David Pasqualone sits down with former college football coach, author, and consultant Jay Paterno for a powerful conversation about faith, family, leadership, resilience, identity, and what happens when the life you expected suddenly changes.Jay grew up as the son of legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, but this conversation goes far beyond football.Jay shares the values his parents taught him, the difference between success and excellence, how to balance family and professional ambition, why children need to learn how to face adversity, and why a leader should never abandon foundational values simply because circumstances change.Jay also shares his personal perspective on the public crisis that changed his family's life, the loss of his coaching career, his father's death soon afterward, and how faith helped him reinvent himself at age 43.In this episode you'll discover:• Why adversity does not have to define your identity• The difference between success and excellence• How to stay grounded in your core values• Why “when you get home, be home”• The Blue Line principle for life balance• Why parents should prepare children for the path• How to stop living in someone else's shadow• Why leaders will never win unanimous approval• The difference between problem people and solution people• How faith and patience help during difficult seasons• Why progress happens one play—and one day—at a timeOne of Jay's most powerful reminders:“You can't let the adversity define you.”And perhaps even more importantly:“That's not the last chapter written in your life.”━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome & What to Expect02:13 Jay Paterno Joins the Remarkable People Podcast03:41 Sponsor Break05:20 Jay's Story Begins05:55 Core Values from the Paterno Home07:00 Faith, Service & “We, Us and Our”09:08 Growing Up with a High-Profile Father09:55 “When You Get Home, Be Home”11:25 The Blue Line: Creating Boundaries in Life12:33 Success vs. Excellence13:38 Faith as a Positive Way of Living16:43 Growing Up as Joe Paterno's Son19:07 Prepare the Child for the Path20:29 Proving Himself Outside His Father's Shadow22:17 Being Released from Other People's Expectations24:33 17 Seasons of Coaching & Lessons from Adversity25:54 Education, Athletics & Developing Leaders28:17 Preparing Athletes for Life After Football32:04 The Penn State Crisis and Jay's Career Reset34:27 Losing His Father35:22 The Book of Job & Reinventing Life at 4338:12 Turning Pain into Prevention & Helping Others40:31 Dealing with Anger, Critics & False Accusations40:46 Problem People vs. Solution People44:18 Protecting Marriage, Family & Faith44:45 “You Can't Let Adversity Define You”45:25 “That's Not the Last Chapter Written in Your Life”46:05 You Don't Need Everyone's Approval49:24 Finding the Pony in the Manure51:50 Advice for Anyone Ready to Quit52:08 Faith, Patience & Hope53:01 Progress Happens One Step at a Time53:32 Life Is the Next Play55:16 Stack the Days & Small Victories55:50 Final Thoughts56:24 Listen.
