Podcasts about Downtime

Luca Shaw is back on the podcast, and this time we’ve got a World Cup winner on our hands. After more than a decade at the sharp end of downhill racing, countless podiums, near misses, injuries, team changes and seasons where it looked like the win might never come, Luca finally stood on the top step of a UCI Downhill World Cup in Loudenvielle. For anyone that’s followed the sport over the last ten years, it was one of those moments that felt like it meant just as much to the fans and the paddock as it did to the rider himself. So, in this episode, we’re catching up with Luca to hear the story behind that breakthrough win. We talk about what it took to finally get the monkey off his back, whether the victory changes anything for him moving forward, and what was going through his head in the start gate and at the finish line. We also dive into his season so far, the level of competition in downhill right now and if he’s planning to add more wins to his tally. Luca’s always been one of the most thoughtful and honest riders in the sport, and this was a great chance to sit down and unpack one of the biggest moments of his career. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Luca Shaw. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Luca on Instagram @luca_shaw.

One of the things I enjoy most about this podcast is getting the chance to speak with athletes right at the point where everything is starting to come together. The results are appearing, the confidence is growing, and you get a glimpse of where they might be headed next. That’s exactly where Elliot Jamieson finds himself. After coming through the downhill ranks, stepping onto World Championship podiums as a junior and then making the move to Enduro, Elliot has steadily been building towards becoming one of the most exciting riders in the discipline. But what stood out to me in this conversation wasn’t just the speed. It was the way he thinks about the sport. We talk about growing up in a big sporting family, the pressure that comes with early success, making the switch from downhill to Enduro, and how a difficult run of injuries helped shape the rider he is today. We also dive into confidence, preparation, bike setup, building a racing programme, and where he thinks Enduro sits as a sport right now. Elliot is thoughtful, analytical and clearly committed to the process of becoming the best rider he can be. And after the progress he showed last season, it’s hard not to feel like we’re watching one of the riders who could help define the next era of Enduro racing. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Elliot Jamieson. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Elliot on Instagram @elliotjamieson_ and on YouTube here.

After two actual play episodes, we finally sat down to answer the important questions. Why was there a demon in the basement? Why were people making drugs out of supernatural whale juice? Why did our cult immediately choose violence as a conflict resolution strategy? And perhaps most importantly, how many times can you accidentally make things worse before it becomes your crew's official business model? As it turns out, the answer is "a lot." And somehow that's exactly how Blades in the Dark is supposed to work. Show Notes We wrapped up our Blades in the Dark series by pulling back the curtain on everything that happened during the score. Randall finally revealed what was actually going on behind the scenes, explaining the Grey Cloaks, the corrupt Bluecoats, the illegal refinery, and the fact that our crew only uncovered about thirty percent of the mystery. Somehow, despite missing most of the conspiracy, we still managed to completely ruin everyone's plans. From there, we dug into the mechanics that make Blades in the Dark feel different from traditional fantasy RPGs. We talked about consequences, stress, trauma, healing, advancement, and how the game expects complications to drive the story rather than stop it. Coming from games like Dungeons and Dragons and Pathfinder, we spent some time discussing how strange it feels when success and consequences regularly happen at the same time. The downtime system ended up being one of the most interesting parts of the discussion. Recovering from injuries, indulging vices, reducing heat, building territory, and even potentially spending time in prison all create opportunities for new stories instead of simply resetting everything between adventures. Apparently prison gangs and ghost cults can coexist surprisingly well. By the end of the episode, we came away with a better appreciation for how tightly the mechanics and setting work together. Blades in the Dark constantly rewards messy stories, weird complications, and players who are willing to embrace disaster. Which is fortunate, because disaster seems to be our party's greatest strength. Key Takeaways The crew only uncovered a fraction of the conspiracy surrounding the illegal refinery The Grey Cloaks hired the crew to expose corruption tied to the Bluecoats The operation involved trapped spirits, electroplasm extraction, and an imprisoned demon Blades in the Dark expects consequences to create new stories instead of ending them Stress and trauma are resources that players are encouraged to spend and manage Downtime activities allow characters to heal, reduce stress, train, and pursue projects Heat and Wanted Levels create long-term consequences for reckless crews Prison and faction politics can become entire story arcs in longer campaigns Claims and territory expansion give crews long-term goals beyond individual scores Advancement is tied to roleplaying choices and embracing character flaws The setting and mechanics are deeply connected, making the world feel integral to gameplay Our cult somehow solved a major criminal conspiracy while understanding only about thirty percent of what was actually happening Releasing a demon may not have been the original mission objective, but it certainly made the score memorable Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

When we picture the American Revolution, we picture battles. But for the men and women who actually lived and fought in it, the Revolution was also a job with mess rotations, night watches, short rations, and children underfoot. Historians Eugene Procknow, Gabriel Neville, and Thomas Sobol pull back the curtain on everyday military life during the War for Independence. They discuss how the armies were structured, what soldiers actually ate, what camp followers endured, and how soldiers found humanity amid grinding hardship. You'll hear about a Black Continental soldier who had eaten nothing but bread for eleven days, and was still writing letters home that went unanswered. A Georgia soldier who agreed to fight for the British just to escape a prison ship, then deserted and marched across two states to rejoin Nathanael Greene's army. And you'll discover why John Adams believed the most dangerous moment of the Revolution wasn't a battle at all.Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/403 EPISODE OUTLINE00:00:00  Introduction00:05:44 Structure of the British and Continental Armies00:10:33 Militia, German Soldiers, and Indian Allies00:20:43 Everyday Life in the American War for Independence00:25:80 Camp Followers00:33:10 Downtime in the Army00:36:59 Soldiers' Letters00:46:00 Food Procurement & Supply Chains00:50:27 Supplementing Rations00:55:34 War Mementoes & Plunder00:58:36 Medical Care in the Army01:08:07 The Revolution in ContextRECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODES

Downtime does not care who your vendor is, but your recovery time absolutely does. We sit down with Bruce Burton, an electrical reliability engineer at Trinity Manufacturing in North Carolina, to hear a candid customer story about modernization, trust, and what it takes to keep a chemical plant running when the stakes are high.Bruce walks us through major electrical upgrades including motor control centers, transformer planning, and the kind of engineering decisions that make future expansions and retrofits less painful. We also get specific about support in the real world: troubleshooting variable frequency drives, getting parts turned around fast, and building a virtual inventory system with barcodes and routine counts so critical spares are there before a failure hits.Then we go deep on smart motor control centers and industrial data. Bruce explains how Ethernet/IP and Modbus connectivity unlock three-phase visibility, historical trending, faster root cause analysis, and more confident decisions during faults. We also talk power quality monitoring, harmonic distortion, and how custom communications drivers can pull useful data from a mixed fleet of devices without disrupting an operating plant. If you care about plant reliability, industrial automation, and practical digital transformation, this conversation is packed with field-tested insight.Subscribe, share this with someone in manufacturing, and leave a rating and review so more reliability-focused teams can find the show.Keep Asking Why...Read our latest article on Industrial Manufacturing herehttps://eeconline.com/inspire/EECO100_trinityOnline Account Registration:Video Explanation of Registering for an AccountRegister for an AccountOther Resources to help with your journey:Installed Asset Analysis SupportSystem Planning SupportSchedule your Visit to a Lab in North or South CarolinaSchedule your Visit to a Lab in VirginiaSubmit your questions and feedback to: podcast@eecoaskwhy.comFollow EECO on LinkedInHost: Chris Grainger

Planning a vacation should be exciting—not overwhelming. But between choosing a destination, booking flights, creating an itinerary, and figuring out logistics, it's easy to feel stressed before your trip even begins. At The Travel Brats, we've planned everything from last-minute city getaways to international adventures booked nearly a year in advance. Over time, we've learned that the best trips happen when you focus on smart planning without overplanning every minute. Here's our step-by-step guide to planning a vacation the right way.   1. Start With Your "Why" Before choosing a destination, ask yourself: Do I want relaxation or adventure? Am I traveling for food, culture, nature, or nightlife? Am I recharging or packing my schedule? Your answer determines everything from budget to destination to daily activities. Helpful questions to research: Is this destination better for couples, friends, or families? Is it good for digital nomads? Can I visit without renting a car? Does it offer more adventure or relaxation? The clearer your travel goals, the easier every other decision becomes.   2. Set Your Dates and Budget You don't need an exact budget, but you need a realistic one. Consider: Number of travel days Flight costs Hotel or Airbnb costs Food and drinks Transportation Activities and excursions Most importantly, leave room for unexpected expenses. A good vacation budget includes a buffer because travel rarely goes exactly as planned. Also factor in important deadlines such as: PTO approval School breaks Weddings Special events   3. Choose Your Destination Strategically Timing can completely change your experience. Ask yourself: What's in season during my travel dates? Will weather affect the trip? Is it peak tourist season? How long is the travel time? Is the destination easy to navigate? If you only have a few vacation days, shorter flights often win. We've seen travelers hate destinations during crowded peak seasons and fall in love with the same places during shoulder season. Research matters.   4. Book the Big Stuff First Follow this order: ✈️ Flights

It has been a busy few weeks at the training center with custom guest training covering IO-Link, sensors, and TIA Portal. In this update, I discuss the progress on our new pneumatic trainer and pick-and-place robot trainer, both of which will be featured in upcoming videos. I also take some time to answer your questions regarding the real-world application of IO-Link, how to transition between different PLC platforms, and how to effectively communicate with your manager about justifying the need for training equipment to reduce costly downtime. Using a practical, data-driven approach to justify the hardware you need for your sandbox environment is the most effective way to transition from reactive maintenance to planned machine shutdowns.Helping you become a better technician so you will always be in demand Not sure what video to watch next?Enhance your skills and track your progress at https://controls.tw/yt-courses!Workforce Readiness for Managers https://twcontrols.com/workforce-readiness-for-managersThe above links make these videos possible.

Ever look up and realise a whole month has vanished? This episode is about why that happens — and how to get more life out of the same amount of time. Most people think time speeds up because they're busy. Not quite. Time speeds up when your brain stops noticing. When your days are repetitive, distracted, and half-lived, your memory writes almost nothing down. That's why a week of scrolling disappears, while one difficult, vivid, meaningful afternoon can feel strangely rich. In this episode, I break down the psychology of time perception using examples from TikTok, procrastination, ADHD, novelty, and emotional reframing. The big idea: a full life isn't made from more hours. It's made from more moments that feel real. We talk about why discomfort often stretches time, why autopilot erases it, and how learning to stay with tension can make you calmer, sharper, and more alive. Add novelty on purpose: new places, new conversations, new experiences. Notice when you're escaping discomfort instead of living through it. Use memory as a metric: if nothing stands out, something needs to change. If time keeps slipping through your hands, this episode will help you hold it differently.

EHR downtime is inevitable. Cyberattacks, network outages, and even planned system upgrades can disrupt access to patient records, placing care delivery, patient safety, and operations at risk.In this video, Jackie Rice, Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Frederick Health, shares how her organization proactively prepared for EHR downtime by moving away from paper-based workflows to a near real-time digital environment that mirrors the EHR user experience. Ryan Dickerson, President of IPeople Healthcare (now part of RLDatix), explains how a purpose-built data resiliency solution supports safe, uninterrupted care during both planned and unplanned outages.Built for MEDITECH EHR environments, IPeople's Offline Suite captures near real-time clinical data in a secure on‑premises system, with optional cloud replication. When the primary EHR or local network is unavailable, clinicians maintain uninterrupted access to critical patient information through familiar workflows, without reverting to paper-based processes.Watch to learn how healthcare organizations are safeguarding patient safety, reducing operational risk, and ensuring readiness for EHR downtime.Learn more about iPeople Healthcare: https://www.ipeople.com/Learn more about Frederick Health: https://www.frederickhealth.org/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

This week we're catching up with Ben Hildred. You probably know Ben from what, on the surface, look like climbing challenges. Like his recent mission to climb 1 million feet in 100 days. But Ben's story isn't really about climbing. For one thing, he's doing these challenges on flat pedals, aboard a bike built for enjoying the descents. The joy doesn't come from the climb itself, it comes from the ride, the experience, and the places it takes him, physically and mentally. Every time I chat with Ben, I come away wanting to ride bikes more, and this conversation was no different. So if you're looking for a bit of motivation to get out and ride, hopefully this episode delivers. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Ben Hildred.

On Reawakening Beauty, host Shawna Patruno interviews Mary Massihi, founder of Skinsation Aesthetics in London, Ontario, about microneedling (collagen induction therapy). Mary explains that microneedling uses tiny sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother skin, and notes that it can help with acne scarring, pores, and anti-aging, but may not be suitable during pregnancy or for some autoimmune disorders. She outlines prep and aftercare: stop active ingredients 5–7 days prior, expect 1–3 days of downtime (or schedule a week before events), and for 48 hours avoid makeup, workouts/sweating, and sauna while focusing on hydration and mineral sunscreen. She recommends three sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart, then quarterly maintenance, discusses waiting two weeks after Botox/fillers or laser hair removal, and mentions pairing Aerolase laser with microneedling. Mary advises researching providers and tools (including asking about pen type and depth), and shares booking info via skinsation.me and Instagram @skinsationaestheticslondon.   00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:21 Mary's Background 01:21 Microneedling Explained 02:09 Who Should Avoid It 02:48 Downtime and Prep 03:57 Pairing With Other Treatments 04:39 Aerolase Laser Combo 05:49 Treatment Plan and Frequency 06:41 Choosing the Right Pen 08:11 Finding a Qualified Provider 09:52 Aftercare and What to Avoid 11:19 Seasonal Timing Tips 12:05 Where to Book and Wrap Up   Host Website: Reawakening Beauty Guest Website: Skinsation   Photo credit: @paul_iacoviello

This week we’re catching up with the one and only Katy Winton. We talk about Katy’s worst ever crash that she's been dealing with recently, how recovery has been going, and what that experience has been like, both mentally as well as physically. From there, we get into some of the adventure racing she's been doing, her trip to Red Bull Rampage, and the work she's been doing with Crankworx. We also talk about the progression of the women's scene, the current state of enduro coverage, and the challenge of trying to figure out what comes next. Katy still wants to race enduro, but as she explains, finding the support to make that happen isn't straightforward. There's a lot in this one, recovery, racing, the realities of the sport right now, and some honest reflections on where things are heading.

Charlie Murray is not racing the Enduro World Cup this year, and he's joining us to explain why. This isn't a retirement story, think of it more as a sabbatical. One of enduro racing's most successful riders is stepping away from the World Cup circuit, at least for now, with burnout, injury, and the pressures of racing at the top level all playing a part in that decision. In this conversation, we go inside that decision, the thinking behind it, and find out what comes next. So sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Charlie Murray.

Clint Jones, CEO of Aureum Solutions, joins the Triple Margin Freedom Podcast to reveal how hospitals lose massive revenue during cyber attacks—and the game-changing solution he's built to protect margins, cash flow, and operations. From payer denials to patient friction, discover proven strategies for healthcare leaders. In this powerful episode of the Triple Margin Freedom Podcast, host Mark Mathia sits down with Clint Jones—founder and CEO of Aureum Solutions, a Nashville-based healthcare tech company. Clint brings 20+ years of experience across payers, providers, and tech, sharing his journey from starting clinics to tackling one of healthcare's biggest hidden crises: system downtime from cyber attacks. Key Topics Covered: The real friction between hospitals, payers, and patients (denials, authorizations, confusing EOBs) Why cyber events devastate revenue cycles—hospitals can lose up to 40% of charges during prolonged downtime - The origin story of REACT: A simple, agile, no-maintenance solution that keeps financial operations running when systems go down - Clint's "why" and vision for more stable, affordable healthcare through technology and process improvement Leadership lessons on entrepreneurship, margin protection, and building unstoppable teams Perfect for healthcare executives, hospital administrators, revenue cycle leaders, and entrepreneurs looking to safeguard profits, reduce administrative burden, and improve patient experience.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a role many first responders carry both on and off the job: always being the calm one (Amazon Affiliate) — the person who holds it together when everyone else cannot. Rest starts to feel selfish. Downtime feels unearned. And before long, days off become just another source of stress instead of recovery. This episode explores what happens to first responders who are always the steady presence in the room — and what that pattern quietly takes from them over time.

We're taking a month off between cases! We'll return with weekly episodes on Memorial Day. Please share the show, thanks for all your support so far!

How do you update a network without downtime? This week, Technology Now is diving into the world of telcos and how they keep critical infrastructure running while continuing to improve their systems. We ask how silos have been used historically by telcos, how AI and cloud are being embraced and how you manage the switch from old to new architecture without impacting users. Franz Seiser, Head of the Data Tribe at Deutche Telekom, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Sam Jarrell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.About Franz:https://www.linkedin.com/in/franz-seiser-658b94/

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a pattern many first responders know all too well: finally having a day off (Amazon Affiliate) — and spending it feeling like you should be doing something. Rest starts to feel selfish. Downtime feels unearned. And before long, days off become just another source of stress instead of recovery. This episode explores why guilt and rest so often show up together for first responders — and what it actually takes to give yourself permission to recharge.

The mountain bike industry is in a weird place right now. Sales have been slow, brands are making tough calls, and things like tariffs and e-bikes are changing the landscape fast. So what does it actually look like from inside one of the most innovative component brands in the game? This week, I'm joined by Dustin Adams, CEO of Industry Nine. We dive into the real state of the industry, why certain disciplines like enduro are losing support, and what's coming next… including things like 32-inch wheels. We also catch up on Industry Nine and hear about the big wins that Dustin and the team have found when combining I9s System spokes with We Are One's rim technology.

2025 was a season that looked incredible on paper for Ella Conolly… but underneath, it was anything but straightforward. Ella was dealing with fatigue through much of the year, including at World Champs, where despite that, she still managed to finish second in the world. We sat down to talk through her 2025 season in full, including racing on an unreleased Cannondale bike, and adapting mid-season to new RockShox suspension ahead of its official launch. We also get into the changing face of World Enduro, the rise of new talent, and where the sport feels like it's heading. This isn't just a conversation about results, it's about what sits behind them: the compromises, the performance, and what it takes to stay competitive when things aren't perfect. So sit back, hit play and check out this episode with Ella Conolly.
