On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the pseudo-conservative, Woke Reich isolationist, and national-conservative voices are undermining the president, abandoning traditional Reaganite principles, and pushing for greater government intervention.  We have an alarming near-$50 trillion on-budget debt (with true obligations including Social Security, Medicare, and pensions closer to $300–350 trillion against an economy producing only about $20 trillion annually). Such demands for more government play into Democrats' hands, and principles are needed most when confronting economic and security threats. The proper path is growth and wealth creation through freer markets, competition, and smarter regulation rather than new programs; critics should present concrete plans if they have any. Election success ultimately depends on doing what is necessary, such as the president's decisive action to prevent the Iranian regime from obtaining nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles which deserves immediate credit. Later, the Vice President has argued that free-market advocates should stop invoking the market system and instead develop a plan to help younger people avoid socialism. Traditional Reaganite and Friedman-style conservatives who back the President's tax and regulatory policies are questioning these remarks. With nearly a $50 trillion on-budget debt the real problem is too much government, not more of it, and that debate belongs in the primaries.  Finally, Michele Tafoya, Minnesota Senate candidate, calls in and argues that Minnesota has been racing in the wrong direction under single-party Democrat rule, with Peggy Flanagan serving as lieutenant governor under Tim Walz for two terms during which the state became a national embarrassment. Drawing on her experience as an early WNBA play-by-play announcer who watched the league grow through women's pure skill and athleticism, she criticized the idea that biological men should compete in women's sports, noting that exclusion is fundamental to athletics and that giving roster spots to biological males simply excludes actual women in an absurd, Alice-in-Wonderland distortion.

Anil Seth, Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience and Director of the Sussex Centre for Consciousness Science at the University of Sussex, joins Kevin Frazier, director of the AI Innovation and Law Program at the University of Texas School of Law and a Senior Editor at Lawfare, to examine whether artificial intelligence could ever be conscious.Drawing on Seth's essay, “The Mythology of Conscious AI,” the pair attempt to define consciousness, develop the strongest arguments for and against machine consciousness, and assess what the current evidence can—and cannot—tell us. They also discuss the risks posed by AI systems that are perceived to be conscious and what AI labs, policymakers, and users should do amid profound uncertainty.Find Scaling Laws on the Lawfare website, and subscribe to never miss an episode.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The Washington Roundtable's Evan Osnos interviews the former Commerce Secretary and Rhode Island governor Gina Raimondo about a problem she's been working on since she left the Biden Administration: how to make sure that the A.I. revolution does not leave American workers behind. Drawing on her father's experience of losing his factory job in the wake of outsourcing to China, Raimondo warns against repeating the mistakes of the past and argues that the U.S. needs a plan to help workers navigate the A.I. transition. “We can't put the toothpaste back in the bottle. A.I. is out there,” Raimondo says. “We want to harness the good, but be intentional about having a plan and safeguards for the bad.” She also discusses why Democrats should focus not just on affordability but on the politics and promise of prosperity and the American Dream. This week's reading: “A.I. Is Now a Major Election Issue,” by Benjamin Wallace-Wells “If A.I. Takes the Jobs of Young People, How Will They React?,” by Jay Caspian Kang “What Does the Humbling of Leopold Aschenbrenner Mean for the A.I. Bubble?,” by John Cassidy “Is D.N.C.

This week, Emily Bazelon, David Plotz, and guest host Juliette Kayyem discuss the security calculations behind Trump's plane switch operation; the White House's attempts to circumvent Supreme Court rulings in its continued obsession with ‘birth tourism'; and whether ‘burritogate' reveals the extent of today's economic anxiety or that young Americans simply aren't learning to cook anymore. For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, David, and guest host Juliette Kayyem discuss whether the benefits of the Flock surveillance network are worth its tradeoffs. Flock cameras help police solve crimes, but cases of officers abusing their access to the technology for stalking raise concerns about privacy violations. In the latest Gabfest Reads, John Dickerson interviews Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan about their new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. Drawing on extensive reporting from inside the White House, they explore how Trump's second term differs radically from his first, from his decision-making process to the people surrounding him and his relationship with power, money, and the presidency itself.

In this high energy show, Patrick sits in for Joe to break down what he frames as an escalating spiritual, cultural, and societal battle for the heart of the nation. Drawing line-by-line connections between national security, border policy, and institutional trust, Patrick tackles raw demographic data, foreign policy shifts, and the fallout of open-border rhetoric. Featuring commentary on state sovereignty, election integrity, and high-profile legal updates—including allegations surrounding major non-profit organizations—this episode questions whether traditional American values are under deliberate, coordinated siege.The focus then shifts across the Atlantic, examining how parallel immigration and demographic shifts are playing out across Europe and the United Kingdom. Analyzing recent crime statistics, cultural integration challenges, and foreign policy developments from Ceuta to London, Patrick contrasts Western secular policy with global religious dynamics. By dissecting media narratives, speech clips, and international headlines, the discussion challenges mainstream discourse on multi-culturalism, asking critical questions about law enforcement, national identity, and sovereign boundaries.Finally, Patrick turns the lens on America's crumbling public education system, linking policy decisions directly to declining academic standards. From controversies over teacher compensation and social-emotional learning to the University of Michigan's grading policy shifts and New York's skyrocketing per-pupil expenditures, Patrick examines the tangible results of equity-based reforms. Evaluating the financial and logistical strain on public schools, the episode delivers a stark assessment of how shifting administrative priorities, open immigration, and lowered academic standards are impacting the next generation of American students.

How can men begin the journey toward vulnerability when they've been taught to hide their emotions? What does it look like to engage honestly with your feelings when you've never developed the habit of paying attention to them?Author and therapist Trey Tucker has helped countless men learn to recognize what is happening beneath the surface and begin addressing the emotions, wounds, and struggles they have buried for far too long. The cost of suppressing emotions can be significant, affecting relationships, physical health, and overall well-being. Trey believes that true strength is not found in avoidance, but in cultivating purposeful habits that allow men to live with authenticity, resilience, and intention. Drawing from both his professional experience and personal story, he shares practical wisdom in his book, Tough Enough: Hone Your Habits, Cultivate Purpose, and Forge Genuine Strength.In this conversation, Davey and Trey discuss why vulnerability can be especially difficult for many men, how to begin paying attention to your inner world, and what it takes to grow, heal, and move forward after adversity.If you've ever struggled to put words to what you're feeling or found it difficult to share honestly about what is happening inside, this episode will encourage you that vulnerability is not weakness—it is often the first step toward healing, deeper relationships, and a greater sense of purpose.

What if the goal today isn't to make your life extraordinary?What if it's to learn how to see the extraordinary gift hidden inside the ordinary?In this reflection on Psalm 104, John Ortberg explores how modern life has changed the way we see the world around us. We know more than ever about how nature works, yet we may have lost something along the way: our ability to experience creation as filled with meaning, wonder, and the presence of God.Drawing on Charles Taylor and Dallas Willard, John invites us to recover the eyes of "saints, poets, and artists" and rediscover what Willard called "the well-kept secret of the ordinary."Birds sing.Trees grow.Wild animals drink.Leviathan frolics.People go to work.And apparently God really likes hyraxes.Psalm 104 invites us to look again and recognize that ordinary creation is overflowing with the generosity, creativity, and goodness of God.In this episode:Psalm 104 and the wonder of creationCharles Taylor and the "immanent frame"Recovering the enchantment of realityDallas Willard and the secret of ordinary lifeWhy God made the hyraxSeeing creation as more than something to useThe love-letter analogyReceiving your life as a giftFinding God in everyday momentsScriptures:Psalm 104Genesis 1:26–27#Psalm104 #JohnOrtberg #DallasWillard #CharlesTaylor #Psalms #Creation #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Wonder

Step into the shadowed skies of Fascist Italy with My Dark Path as we uncover a cascade of unexplained aerial encounters that predate Roswell by more than a decade. Host MF Thomas begins on a twilight street in Milan in 1944, where a young Decima naval commando watches a copper-colored disk hang motionless above Piazzale Loreto—silent, luminous, and gone in an instant—while air-raid sirens wail and anti-aircraft crews stare in disbelief.From there the episode travels back to the morning of August 22, 1936, over the Venice Lagoon and Mestre. Italian Regia Aeronautica pilots scramble Fiat CR.32 biplanes against a ten-to-twelve-meter metallic disk that accelerates away without sound or exhaust. Later that same day, pilot Marinelli and his flight encounter a long gray “aerial torpedo” accompanied by two domed, hat-shaped craft trailing perfect white smoke plumes and flying in flawless formation. A ground observer named Faustino then watches the same cylindrical craft release smaller disc-shaped objects. Photographs and urgent reports race straight to Galeazzo Ciano's desk—Mussolini's son-in-law and Foreign Minister—under the same absolute-secrecy orders first issued after the alleged 1933 Magenta crash and the creation of the secret RS/33 scientific cabinet.Drawing on the Fascist UFO files brought to light by Roberto Pinotti and Alfredo Lissoni (including the anonymous “Mister X” documents later forensically examined), this episode explores how Mussolini's regime imposed total silence, redirected stories as “meteors,” and kept trained military observers quiet for the rest of their lives. What emerges is a portrait of Italy's forgotten pre-Roswell UFO wave—sightings that trained pilots and soldiers could neither identify nor forget.This episode blends immersive historical narration, primary-document context, skeptical analysis of the contested Fascist files, and the enduring power of eyewitness testimony from men who understood the cost of speaking. Perfect for fans of classic UFO cases, Italian ufology, wartime secrecy, and the unexplained.

Nicole Sakach is an author, UFO researcher, and experiencer whose work explores the mysteries surrounding UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, consciousness, and the growing push for disclosure. Drawing from both personal experiences and years of investigation, Nicole brings a unique perspective to the UFO conversation—one that combines the human side of extraordinary encounters with a desire to better understand what may be happening behind the scenes. Her research examines the difficult questions surrounding government transparency, secrecy, and what the public is actually being told about the UFO phenomenon.As an experiencer herself, Nicole understands that the UFO mystery goes far beyond strange objects appearing in the sky. Her journey has led her to explore the deeper implications of contact and how these experiences can profoundly affect the people who have them. Through her writing, research, and public discussions, Nicole encourages people to remain curious while questioning the information being presented as disclosure. Is humanity finally being prepared for the truth about UFOs and extraterrestrial life—or are we witnessing another carefully controlled narrative?Spaced Out Radio is your nightly source for alternative information, starting at 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern.  We broadcast LIVE every night. #UFO #UAP #AlienDisclosure #UFOSightings #UFOCoverUp #Aliens #SpacedOutRadio #Paranormal #UFOCommunity #disclosure -------------------------------------------------------You can now join the Space Traveler's Club;Join us at  https://www.patreon.com/sor_space_travelers_club  --------------------------------------------------------Grab Our Latest Spaced Out Radio Gear At:http://spacedoutradio.com/shop  It's a great way to support our show!--------------------------------------------------------OUR LINKS:TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/spacedoutradio   FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/spacedoutradioshow  SPACED OUT RADIO - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/spacedoutradioshow  DAVE SCOTT - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/davescottsor   TWITCH: https://www.twitch.com/spacedoutradioshow  WEBSITE: http://www.spacedoutradio.comGUEST IDEAS OR QUESTIONS FOR SOR?Contact Klaus at bookings@spacedoutradio.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spaced-out-radio--1657874/support.

Episode 381: What Leaders Must Know to Build Cross-Sector Power (Karen Riordan)Episode SummaryNonprofit leaders often assume advocacy, cross-sector partnerships, and funding diversification are someone else's job — but Karen Riordan, President & CEO of Together SC in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, argues that building real power for the sector starts with everyday relationship-building. Drawing on three decades of for-profit marketing experience before her move into nonprofit leadership, Riordan makes the case that nonprofits are businesses too, deserving of the same respect, visibility, and strategic rigor as any company in the community. She shares how to build relationships with lawmakers long before you ever need something from them, why chambers of commerce and civic groups are an underused bridge to the business community, and how to have hard budget conversations with your board before a funding crisis forces the issue. Listeners will walk away with concrete, low-lift ways to build cross-sector alliances, advocate for their organization without feeling like a lobbyist, and lead with pride even when the funding landscape feels shaky.About KarenKaren Riordan is President & CEO of Together SC (formerly the South Carolina Nonprofit Association), the statewide network that strengthens and champions the nonprofit sector across South Carolina, a role she stepped into in 2024. She spent three decades building brands in the for-profit world, first in the tourism industry and later in automotive marketing, where she managed teams of up to 1,200 employees, before moving into the nonprofit space by way of the Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, where she founded both Keep Myrtle Beach Beautiful and Partnership Grand Strand. A journalism graduate who has volunteered for nonprofits since high school - across subsectors from animal welfare to food insecurity - Riordan now channels that business rigor and marketing instinct into raising the visibility and respect of nonprofits statewide. She's an avowed re-reader of Jim Collins' Good to Great and a self-described “maniac” for a good thriller series in her downtime.ResourcesKaren's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/karen-riordan-72a88a2Together SC: TogetherSC.orgCheck out Together SC's “Nonprofits Get It Done” campaign (modeled on the National Council of Nonprofits) and their upcoming scenario-planning workshops for budget diversificationBook recommendation: Impact Networks by David EhrlichmanFollow Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership and please leave a review!Learn more about the leadership resources at Armstrong McGuire:  ArmstrongMcGuire.com

In this episode, Dr. Paul Jenkins uncovers the unexpected strength found in simply saying 'I don't know.' While this phrase is often seen as a weakness or a lack of confidence, Dr. Paul encourages listeners to embrace it as a starting point for humility and open-mindedness. By acknowledging our inability to predict the future, we create a mental space that allows us to respond more thoughtfully to our feelings and reduce anxiety. This space also empowers us to make choices instead of reacting based on unfounded predictions.   Embracing 'I don't know' also reveals our capability to handle whatever comes our way, tapping into our innate resilience. Drawing from Dr. Susan Jeffers' notion that most fears stem from the belief that we 'can't handle' something, Dr. Paul challenges this limiting belief with evidence from our past victories over adversity. Pain and challenge, he explains, do not equate to failure but are part of our human experience, pushing us to learn and grow in ways we may not initially appreciate.   Dr. Paul introduces the concept of metacognition, thinking about our own thinking, as a tool for positive change. Recognizing that our practiced thoughts can become habitual, he highlights the value of intentional thinking practices to reprogram our minds. The episode welcomes listeners to explore the Emotional Freedom Challenge, a free opportunity to develop and exercise this cognitive skill, creating more empowerment and emotional resilience.   Ultimately, accepting 'I don't know' as a path to possibility allows us to stop rehearsing undesirable futures and positions us to handle whatever reality brings. It's about trusting our capacity to grow and learn, thus choosing a powerful, purposeful stance toward life's uncertainties.

You can say all the right words and still leave your partner feeling completely unsafe.If you're the partner who caused harm, that may be the most frustrating thing you've encountered in recovery — you apologized, you said "I understand," you told her you're here, and somehow it still landed wrong. In this episode, Hali explains why your partner isn't responding to your words. She's responding to your body — to whether your presence feels safe or braced, whether you're actually with her or just managing her. That's embodied empathy.Hali walks through what embodied empathy actually is and why a traumatized nervous system is exquisitely tuned to detect the mismatch between what you say and the state you're actually in. Then she lays out two concrete lists: the behaviors that model embodied empathy and build safety (staying regulated and present when she's activated, accountability without minimizing, letting her be angry without firing back, transparency over time), and the behaviors that get in the way (defensiveness, minimizing, blame-shifting, gaslighting, withdrawal, empty promises).Drawing on the response patterns in the book Courageous Love alongside a somatic, nervous-system lens, this episode gives both partners a clear, behavior-level map of what genuine presence after betrayal actually looks like.Enjoyed This Episode?If this conversation resonated with you, here are three ways you can support the show:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a Review

In this episode of the Lead Up Podcast, host Mike Harbour challenges the familiar idea that people quit jobs and argues that, more often than we realize, they're responding to the leadership environment around them. Turnover may be the number that eventually gets an executive's attention, but it's often a lagging indicator. The conditions that lead a good employee to disengage, lose trust, or eventually leave can begin months—or even years—before a resignation ever hits your desk. Drawing from more than 30 years of his work with healthcare leaders, Mike shares eight critical leadership failures he continues to see across teams and organizations. More importantly, he challenges leaders to stop looking only at the metrics and start paying attention to the leadership behaviors that may be predicting where those metrics are headed. In this episode, Mike discusses: Why turnover should be viewed as a lagging indicator What leaders should be watching before engagement and retention begin to decline Why leadership isn't a “soft skill,” but an essential business skill How seemingly small leadership behaviors can quietly shape culture Why trust, accountability, growth, and communication matter to retention How urgency can sometimes create unintended leadership problems Why leaders need to examine the environment they're creating—not just the employees who leave A simple way to grade yourself, your leadership team, and your organization before the metrics tell you there's a problem As you listen, Mike challenges you to be honest about what's happening inside your organization and ask: If your best people left tomorrow, what would they say they were really leaving? If you're working to improve retention, engagement, culture, and organizational performance, this episode will help you look beyond the numbers and identify the leadership behaviors that may be influencing them long before they appear on your dashboard. If you found this episode valuable, please leave a 5-star review and share it with another leader.

What if resentment isn't the problem...What if it's the invitation?Inspired by my recent conversation with communication strategist and CEO Lee Caraher, this Sound Bite explores what often lies beneath resentment—and how a simple pause can help us move from assumptions and "shoulds" toward greater understanding.Resentment can begin with something as ordinary as a disappointment that never gets talked about or something much deeper that continues to replay in our minds. Either way, it asks us to pay attention.Drawing on insights from Lee Caraher, Brené Brown, and Byron Katie, I reflect on how resentment often begins with hurt, grows through the stories we tell ourselves, and quietly keeps us stuck in the past.Together, we'll explore how pausing, journaling, and asking a few simple questions can help us move toward greater clarity, understanding, and perhaps even forgiveness.In this Sound Bite:• Why resentment often begins with hurt• How "should" and assumptions fuel resentment• Brené Brown's question:"What do I need that I'm afraid to ask for?"• Byron Katie's invitation:"Is it true?"• How journaling helps separate facts from the stories we create• Why pausing creates space for understanding• How requests and offers can replace assumptionsQuestions for ReflectionWhere do I notice resentment in my body?What story am I telling myself?Is it true?What do I need that I haven't asked for?What part of this belongs to me?Sometimes the most important conversation isn't the one we have with someone else.It's the one we have with ourselves.If you enjoyed this reflection, be sure to listen to Episode 311: Helping 5,000 Women Be Heard with Lee Caraher, where we explore communication, leadership, and why every woman deserves to be heard.Connect with Girl, Take the Lead!

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with workplace strategy expert and author Melissa Swift to unpack the radical ideas behind her book, Effective: How to Do Great Work in a Fast-Changing World. In an era dominated by burnout, endless Zoom calls, and constant technological disruption, Swift challenges the conventional push for mere "productivity" and offers a far more sustainable path: true workplace effectiveness. Drawing from high-stakes professions—from the meteorologist who predicted catastrophic fires to air traffic controllers and ER doctors—she reveals why the secret to thriving isn't constantly innovating or trying to fix all your weaknesses, but rather leaning into your core strengths and embracing the "boring" routines that free up vital cognitive space. Whether you are an overwhelmed employee swimming in an overflowing inbox or a leader trying to manage an unpredictable team, this conversation uncovers a refreshing "third way" forward where both companies and individuals can actually win together.

Language departments across higher education are facing a familiar challenge: declining enrollments, shrinking degree pathways, and increasing competition for space in students' schedules. But what if the solution isn't asking students to commit to a major or minor? What if it's offering something smaller, more flexible, and directly connected to their career goals?In this episode, host Dr. Grant Gearhart sits down with Dr. André Zampaulo, Professor of Linguistics and Chair of the Department of Linguistics, Literatures, and Cultures at Saint Louis University, to explore how academic micro-credentials are transforming language recruitment and retention. Drawing on SLU's remarkable success, Dr. Zampaulo shares practical strategies for designing micro-credentials, recruiting students intentionally, and building programs that attract entirely new audiences without undermining traditional majors and minors.Whether you're a department chair, language educator, or higher education administrator, this conversation offers a data-driven roadmap for reimagining the future of language programs in an era of changing student needs.In this episode, you'll learn:Why micro-credentials are emerging as a powerful response to declining language enrollmentsHow to design flexible, career-focused credentials that appeal to today's studentsRecruitment strategies that move beyond mass emails to personalized outreachWays to build student community and improve retention, even in short academic pathwaysAbout Dr. André Zampaulo:Dr. André Zampaulo is Professor of Linguistics and Chair of the Department of Linguistics, Literatures, and Cultures at Saint Louis University.

In this episode, we sit down with DeeAnn Palin, founder and CEO of On Point Business Solutions, to explore how talent strategy can either drain a business or become a powerful driver of growth. Known as the CEO Whisperer, DeeAnn has spent more than 20 years in executive leadership and over a decade helping founder-led companies avoid costly talent mistakes, improve EBITDA, and prepare for strategic growth and transition. Drawing on her experience leading operations, turnarounds, and transformational growth initiatives, DeeAnn shares why HR is often misunderstood as an expense instead of being leveraged as a strategic business asset. During our time together, we discuss:Why traditional HR is often viewed as a cost center—and how that mindset limits growthThe concept of the “Million Dollar Mistake” and how hidden talent problems quietly erode profitabilityThe role HR should play in helping CEOs achieve long-term growth objectivesHow modern assessment tools and AI can improve leadership effectiveness, team performance, and hiring decisionsWhy organizations should rethink their total rewards strategy rather than focusing solely on compensationHow to solve talent gaps without overspending on the wrong benefits, incentives, or hiresA real-world case study showing how one organization transformed culture, performance, and financial outcomes through strategic talent managementThe importance of Jim Collins' Hedgehog Concept in aligning talent with organizational successThis episode provides practical insights for leaders who want to unlock hidden value in their workforce and build people systems that accelerate business growth.To learn more from DeeAnn visit www.onptbiz.com Request a business X-ray assessmentLearn more about Aptiv Index and strategic talent solutionsConnect with the On Point Business Solutions team

Recorded live at SOMA 26Dr. Emily Johnston (Cascadia Mountain Institute) and SFC Ezequiel Mendoza (Arctic Dustoff, Fairbanks) deliver a hard-hitting, field-validated look at how standard tactical medical gear and medications actually perform—and fail—in true Arctic and extreme cold conditions. Drawing from cold-soak testing, simulated combat exercises, and real operational experience, they break down battery and fluid-warmer failures, rapid freezing of IV tubing and blood sets, medication storage realities, tourniquet performance, and the critical need for early frostbite interventions like ibuprofen and iloprost far forward. Practical fieldcraft solutions, insulation strategies, and clear calls for better-designed cold-weather medical systems are front and center.Key TakeawaysNo electronic or mechanical medical device (IV pumps, Buddy Lite warmers, etc.) can be trusted to operate unprotected in Arctic conditions—insulate everything, including fluids and tubing.Fluids and tubing freeze extremely quickly and become brittle; passive warming solutions using insulated containers + chemical heat packs can keep fluids viable for many hours even at –20°F to –30°F.Body heat (base-layer transport systems worn against the skin) is the only reliably consistent way to prevent medication freezing during multi-day cold operations; outer pockets, med boxes, and sling packs routinely fail.Current blood administration sets create major clotting and failure points in the cold; shorter, fully insulated, or redesigned kits are needed.Most common tourniquets performed adequately after freeze-thaw cycles; metal windlasses held up better than plastic ones under extreme cold.Reperfusion injury is the dominant mechanism of tissue loss in frostbite. Early NSAID (ibuprofen) loading and rapid iloprost administration dramatically improve outcomes, yet cold-chain and far-forward delivery of iloprost remain unsolved problems.Manufacturer claims about extreme-cold performance often do not match real-world Arctic testing. Independent field validation is essential before relying on any device or medication in these environments.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Arctic strategic context04:45 – Operational realities: long evacuation times and limited cold-weather experience06:00 – Battery and device cold-soak testing (IV pump & Buddy Lite)09:20 – Functional testing: frozen pumps, ruptured warmer cartridges, and fluid output11:40 – Practical insulation and pre-warming techniques for fluids13:40 – Medication transport failures vs. base-layer body-heat solutions18:50 – Blood product challenges and call for redesigned cold-weather kits20:20 – Tourniquet performance after freeze-thaw cycles21:15 – Frostbite pathophysiology and the critical role of early ibuprofen + iloprost27:20 – Path forward: needed research, device redesign, and medication stability after freezing29:40 – Closing remarks and Q&A discussionFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠⁠⁠

Artificial Intelligence may be changing the way we work, but it isn't replacing the one thing organisations need most: human imagination. In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, Andy Goram is joined by innovation expert, former Hewlett-Packard executive and author Stephen W. Hinch to explore why the organisations that succeed won't simply be the ones with the best technology, they'll be the ones that build an innovation culture where everyone believes their ideas matter. Drawing on decades of experience leading billion-dollar product innovations, Steve explains why innovation isn't reserved for R&D teams or senior leaders. Instead, it's a leadership responsibility that depends on creating environments where people feel trusted, encouraged and empowered to think differently. Together, Andy and Steve discuss the growing fear of becoming obsolete in the age of AI, why AI is a powerful tool but not a replacement for human creativity, the difference between incremental and disruptive innovation, and the organisational structures that help great ideas thrive instead of being quietly buried. If you've ever wondered why some organisations consistently innovate while others struggle despite investing heavily in technology, this conversation offers a practical and refreshingly human answer. ----more---- Key Takeaways Innovation begins with belief. Innovation starts by creating a culture where people believe their ideas are welcomed, valued and worth sharing. AI supports innovation. It doesn't replace it. AI can accelerate knowledge and insight, but human imagination remains the true driver of breakthrough innovation. Different innovation needs different leadership. Incremental improvements and disruptive breakthroughs require different structures, expectations and measures of success. Innovation culture is built deliberately. Leaders create innovation by giving people the clarity, confidence and space to think differently. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 01:11 – Why Innovation Matters More Than Ever in the Age of AI 04:13 – A Career Built on Turning Innovation into Business Growth 06:05 – Why Innovation Remains a Competitive Advantage 09:23 – FOBO The Fear of Becoming Obsolete 11:10 – Why AI Can Support Innovation But Not Replace Human Imagination 14:29 – Different Types of Innovation Need Different Leadership 19:19 – The Curse of the Corporate Business Model 25:16 – Creating an Innovation Culture Where Everyone Believes Their Ideas Matter 31:09 – Giving People Permission to Innovate: Steve's 5% Rule 36:29 – Leadership Isn't About Having the Best Ideas 40:18 – Sticky Notes: Three Principles for Building an Innovation Culture ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Stephen W.

Host Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with philosopher, author, and cultural thinker Dr. Marc Gafni for a wide-ranging conversation that is equal parts philosophical deep-dive and urgent call to action. Dr. Gafni, whose work spans Oxford-trained philosophy, mystical traditions, evolutionary theory, and cutting-edge science, makes the case that humanity is at a critical inflection point, facing what he calls the "metacrisis": a convergence of existential threats that cannot be solved by fixing infrastructure or social structures alone. The only real solution, he argues, is changing the story of value from which we generate reality itself. Drawing on his landmark book “First Principles and First Values,” Dr. Gafni unpacks why value is not a human invention but a fundamental property of the cosmos, and why reclaiming that understanding is the most important rebellion of our time. In this episode, Darius and Dr. Marc will discuss: (00:00) Introduction to Dr. Marc Gafni (12:14) Exploring First Values and Their Importance (23:57) The Role of Ego in Human Experience (47:58) Vision for a Humane Future (01:02:04) Closing Thoughts and Call to Action Dr. Marc Gafni is a visionary philosopher, social activist, and author whose work explores consciousness, human development, and evolutionary thought. He is the creator of influential frameworks such as Unique Self theory, the Five Selves, and CosmoErotic Humanism, and the author of more than 25 books, including the award-winning Your Unique Self: The Radical Path to Personal Enlightenment. His recent work includes Whole Mate, Evolution of Love from Quarks to Culture, and the First Principles and First Values series, co-authored under the pseudonym David J.

Even though this is a solo episode, Travis steps in as your guide through one of the most underrated money-making skills: managing your reactions in a world engineered to keep you emotionally hijacked. Drawing from personal stories, psychology, and stoic philosophy, he walks through his BASS Method—Breathe, Ask, Solve, Share—to help you turn everyday frustrations into opportunities for growth, better relationships, and ultimately better decision-making in life and business. On this episode we talk about: How media and marketing are designed to make you feel lonely and “not enough” Why negativity bias makes certain ads and headlines so effective The Victoria's Secret body positivity example and what it reveals about identity and marketing The BASS Method: Breathe, Ask, Solve, Share (Travis's reaction management framework) How to reframe “bad days” and emotional triggers into opportunities for connection and growth Top 3 Takeaways Your environment is saturated with negative messaging, but you can reclaim control by intentionally managing your reactions instead of letting emotions run your day. The BASS Method—take three deep breaths, ask better questions about your feelings, solve from a calm, third-party perspective, and share the win with someone close—helps you build a stronger identity as someone who handles problems with composure. Most events are neutral; your perception creates the story. Learning to interrogate your feelings in the middle of an emotional spike gives you more power, better relationships, and less unnecessary suffering. Notable Quotes “We have to become proficient at distracting ourselves from the distractions.” “Most events are just events. We have the ability to control whether or not we perceive it to be a good or bad event.” “Ultimately, nobody else has power over my emotional state except for me.” Connect with Travis Chappell: LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell⁠ Twitter/X: ⁠https://twitter.com/traviscchappell⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/travischappell⁠ Other: ⁠https://travischappell.com⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

He also shares his own view of what the Hills may have encountered and why conventional explanations remain unconvincing.SHOW NOTESCONTACT AND SUPPORT

Has enterprise AI finally reached the point where impressive demonstrations are no longer enough? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Bruce McMahon, Chief Product Officer at CallMiner, about what he describes as the industrialization of AI: the move from experimentation and excitement toward repeatable processes, measurable ROI, better customer experiences, and technology that can operate reliably at enterprise scale. Bruce explains why business leaders are increasingly asking a much simpler question about AI: how is this going to create value? Drawing on CallMiner's experience analyzing hundreds of thousands of hours of customer interactions every day, Bruce discusses how AI can surface operational inefficiencies and customer insights that were previously difficult to identify. The opportunity is not simply generating more data. Organizations need processes that get the right insight to the right person so something actually changes as a result. We also discuss how AI is changing workforce expectations. Bruce sees curiosity and adaptability becoming increasingly valuable, particularly among technical teams. As AI takes on more routine work, employees who question outputs, experiment with new approaches, and apply human judgment can become more valuable than those who rely solely on established technical knowledge. The economics of enterprise AI present another challenge. Foundation models, capabilities, and pricing continue to change rapidly, creating questions around vendor dependency and long-term costs. Bruce explains why companies may increasingly use a mixture of commercial, open-source, fine-tuned, self-hosted, and proprietary models rather than relying on one provider for everything. Governance becomes even more important as AI agents begin interacting directly with customers. We discuss red teaming, bias testing, compliance, data protection, monitoring, and why organizations need to decide which actions can be fully automated and which decisions must remain accountable to a human. Bruce also examines how AI is changing customer experience and the BPO industry. Rather than choosing between humans and AI agents, he sees value in designing systems where both can work together, with people handling interactions requiring judgment while AI manages high-volume and repetitive work. For CIOs, CTOs, COOs, customer experience leaders, and anyone responsible for enterprise AI strategy, this conversation provides a practical look at moving beyond AI pilots and turning the technology into a dependable part of business operations.  

"The real journey begins when the life you knew no longer has the answers." What if feeling lost, confused, or broken isn't a sign that your life is falling apart, but the beginning of your real journey? In this profound episode of SoulTalk, Kute Blackson sits down with bestselling author and pilgrimage expert Phil Cousineau to explore the timeless wisdom hidden inside Homer's Odyssey and why this ancient story speaks so powerfully to the struggles we face today. Phil reveals that the journey home is not simply about finding your way back to a place. It is about finding your way back to yourself. Drawing from The Odyssey, Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, mythology, pilgrimage, and his new book The Wisdom of the Odyssey, Phil explores what happens when the identity that once carried us through life no longer works.  He explains why the "dark night of the soul" can be a necessary passage toward transformation, why we sometimes need to surrender the illusion that we can do everything alone, and how reconnecting with the deepest parts of ourselves can reveal the strength we thought we had lost. This is a conversation about suffering, courage, humility, healing, purpose, and love and ultimately about one of life's most important questions: Have you lost your way, or are you finally being called home?   Timestamps (00:02:16) — How Phil's journey with Joseph Campbell shaped his understanding of The Odyssey. (00:04:18) — Why feeling lost may be the beginning of your real journey. (00:07:22) — Why you were never meant to figure everything out alone. (00:12:14) — The Dark Night of the Soul and why you can't skip the darkness. (00:16:22) — How to hear the inner voice that can guide you home. (00:21:03) — The three stages that turn darkness into transformation. (00:35:39) — Why telling your story may be the healing you need. (00:47:04) — How to stop losing yourself and finally find your way home. Some Questions I Ask: What do you do when you feel completely lost in life? How do you trust the journey when everything is falling apart? Is suffering necessary for real transformation? How do you navigate the Dark Night of the Soul? Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel like losing? How do you find your way back to your true self? In This Episode You'll Learn: Why feeling lost may be where your real journey begins. How to navigate the Dark Night of the Soul. Why suffering can become a doorway to transformation. How to hear your inner voice when life gets noisy. Why telling your story can set something inside you free. How to find your way home to your true self Get in Touch: Phil Cousineau https://www.philcousineau.net Create a life that is a masterpiece.

We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode, James and Ryan unpack a simple but powerful metaphor for adult romantic bonds: the red hat (emotional system), blue hat (caregiving system), and purple hat (sexual system). Drawing on attachment science from Phil Shaver, Mario Mikulincer, and Sue Johnson, they show how these three behavioral systems interact in-session and at home—and why you “can't red-hat your way into connection.” You'll hear vivid clinical examples, live-process reflections, and practical language you can bring straight to your couples, helping them see their cycle, name their hats, and take the first small blue-hat risks that change everything. 1. The Three Behavioral Systems = Three Hats Red Hat = Emotional System The hardwired system that signals inner experience—distress, pain, longings—outward. “Red” is not bad; it's the channel for “something is happening in me; I need you to see it.” Blue Hat = Caregiving System The instinct to turn toward another's distress: to be accessible, responsive, and engaged. In EFT terms, this is the responsive other—and it's what actually creates and maintains bond. Purple Hat = Sexual System The system driving touch, pleasure, and erotic connection in adult romantic bonds. Not an “add-on” after emotions are fixed, but a co-equal system that interacts with red and blue. 2. You Can't “Red-Hat” Your Way into Connection When both partners stay in red, they're each sending signals but no one is picking up the phone. That red‑vs‑red pattern feels like: competing for whose pain “counts,” chronic explaining, convincing, and defending, more loneliness after talking than before. Without at least a little blue hat, the bond cannot form or repair—no matter how much content is shared. 3. The Blue Hat Is Vulnerable Work—for Clients and Clinicians Putting on the blue hat requires a yielding move (Jim Coan's language): setting your own swirl aside for a moment, letting the other's pain actually touch you, allowing yourself to be impacted and guided by their inner world. For many partners (especially withdrawers), caregiving is wired to feel like a set-up for failure: “Every invitation is just another chance to get it wrong.” They often pull their heart back to protect against repeated failure. As a therapist or coach, you are meant to wear the blue hat for everyone in the room: If your compassion goes offline for one partner, the cycle has pulled you into red. Your temporary blue hat often “bridges” when a partner can't yet offer that responsiveness. 4. Red, Blue, and Purple Are Interlocking Cogs, Not a Straight Line Traditional framing: fix the emotional system first, and the sexual system will naturally follow. This episode offers a more mutual, systemic view: Secure emotional connection supports satisfying sexual connection. Blocked or painful sexual dynamics also make emotional safety harder. Deep, responsive sexual moments can reinforce emotional security, and vice versa. Think of the systems as interlocked gears: when one jams (emotion, caregiving, or sex), the others feel the strain. 5. Simple Metaphor, Heavy Theory Behind It The hat model is a front-door metaphor for clients that quietly carries: attachment research (5,000+ studies), Shaver & Mikulincer's work on adult bonding systems, Sue Johnson's emphasis on responsiveness as the core of love. Instead of teaching full attachment theory to clients who “can't even sit on the same couch,” you: offer two or three hats they can remember in the heat of the moment, help them name when they're switching hats, and anchor micro-interventions: “Right now, everyone has the red hat on. Who can risk 1% of a blue hat?” 6. Seeing the Cycle = Regaining Choice Clients cannot change what they cannot see; “hats” give them a shared language to see it. Therapists can track: When red turns from “open red” (vulnerable sharing) into “shadow red” (mistrust, blame, vague signals). When a partner briefly has a blue hat on and then flips back into red. When sexual bids (purple) are met with blue (healing) vs met with red (rejection, mistrust). Even a 1% blue-hat response (e.g., “I can see how hard that is for you”) can be enough to create real hope. 7. Beyond the Couch: A Call for More Blue Hats in the Culture The same red‑vs‑red dynamic shows up at the societal level: “My red hat is bigger/more legitimate than your red hat.” Lots of pain, very few reliable blue hats. The episode frames EFT and attachment science as world-facing work: inviting more blue‑hat moments in communities, justice spaces, and public conversations, honoring community leaders who quietly build learning communities that increase quality of care everywhere.

Women are often told that working harder is the key to getting ahead. Deliver exceptional results, say yes to every opportunity, support the team, and eventually someone will notice. But for many women, that strategy doesn't lead to promotions—it leads to becoming indispensable in the very role they're trying to outgrow. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Patty Azzarello—author, speaker, business advisor, and former Fortune 500 executive—to unpack the unwritten rules that shape career advancement. Drawing from her own journey from awkward introvert to CEO before the age of 40, Patty shares the lessons she learned about visibility, executive presence, influence, and why competence alone is rarely enough to build a successful career. In This Episode, Nicole and Patty Discuss: Why being excellent at your job can actually keep you stuck in it. The hidden career rules that no one teaches—but everyone is expected to know. The difference between being busy, being valuable, and being visible. Why women often take on "office housework" that doesn't advance their careers. How to identify the work that creates the greatest value for the business. Practical strategies for saying no without damaging relationships. Why executive presence is often poorly defined—and how to build it authentically. How bringing humanity to leadership creates greater influence than trying to be impressive. Why visibility matters just as much as performance when it comes to promotions. Simple ways to build relationships with senior leaders and decision-makers. The power of asking for help as a leadership skill. Why waiting until you feel ready often keeps you from your biggest opportunities. How healthy conflict strengthens leadership and decision-making. The career cost of constantly taking care of everyone else. This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone who has been told that hard work alone is enough. Patty offers a refreshing, practical perspective on what actually drives career growth—and how to start making those shifts today.  Thank you to our sponsors!

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dave Charest. Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, shared practical advice for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and startup founders on marketing, customer engagement, business growth, and the future of AI in marketing. Drawing from his experience helping small businesses worldwide, Charest explained why entrepreneurship is booming, how businesses can effectively market themselves with limited budgets, and why building direct customer relationships through email marketing remains one of the most valuable assets a company can own. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Explain why more people are starting businesses and pursuing entrepreneurship. Educate business owners on effective marketing strategies. Highlight the advantages of email marketing over relying solely on social media. Discuss common mistakes made by new entrepreneurs. Help small businesses understand how to build customer relationships. Explore how AI is transforming marketing and business operations. Provide actionable guidance for growing a brand through consistency and community engagement. Key Takeaways 1. Entrepreneurship Continues to Grow According to Charest, people are increasingly motivated to start businesses because they want: Greater independence Better control over their schedules Increased financial potential Many entrepreneurs are turning side hustles into full-time businesses and pursuing ownership rather than traditional employment. 2. Email Marketing Is More Valuable Than Most Entrepreneurs Realize One of the strongest themes of the interview is the importance of owning your audience. While social media platforms can help businesses attract attention, email marketing provides direct access to customers without relying on platform algorithms. Charest encourages entrepreneurs to use social media as a discovery tool but move customers into channels they control, such as email and text messaging. 3. The Real Asset Is the Relationship Businesses that own customer contact information have a direct connection that cannot be disrupted by changes in social media platforms. Unlike followers on a social network, email subscribers have chosen to hear from a business directly. The stronger the relationship, the greater the opportunity for future sales and engagement. 4. Small Lists Can Produce Big Results Charest challenges the belief that businesses need massive audiences to succeed. A small, engaged audience often produces better results than a large, passive following. For many local businesses, quality relationships matter more than audience size. 5. Consistency Beats Perfection When marketing a business, consistency is more important than trying every available platform. Business owners should: Choose channels they can maintain consistently. Show up regularly. Stay visible to customers. Build trust through repetition and reliability. His message is simple: people can't buy from businesses they forget about. 6. New Entrepreneurs Often Try to Do Too Much One of the most common mistakes startups make is attempting to launch every marketing tactic simultaneously. Charest recommends: Starting small. Building a solid foundation. Creating manageable marketing habits. Avoiding unrealistic expectations. Businesses grow more effectively when they focus on a few activities and execute them well. 7. Community Matters Successful local businesses build relationships beyond customers. Charest emphasized the importance of connecting with: Other local businesses Community organizations Referral partners Customers in person Strong community connections often become a business's most reliable growth engine. 8. Choose Marketing Channels That Fit Your Strengths Different social platforms serve different purposes. Rather than chasing every trend, entrepreneurs should focus on: Where their audience spends time What content they naturally enjoy creating Which platforms they can use consistently A sustainable strategy beats an ambitious one that is quickly abandoned. 9. Marketing Is About Staying Top of Mind Charest defines marketing in a straightforward way: Businesses need to remain visible so customers think of them first when they need a product or service. The more consistently a company appears in front of its audience, the stronger its brand becomes. 10. AI Is Becoming a Powerful Marketing Tool Charest views AI as a major opportunity for small businesses. He discussed how AI can help: Generate marketing content Create email campaigns Build marketing plans Repurpose content across multiple channels Analyze customer behavior Identify new opportunities Rather than replacing entrepreneurs, AI allows them to save time and make smarter decisions. 11. Business Owners Must Continue Learning Technology and marketing are evolving rapidly. Charest advises entrepreneurs to stay informed and remain open to new tools and trends, even if they do not adopt every new technology immediately. The key is to remain adaptable and avoid being left behind. Memorable Quotes "People are determined to become their own bosses." "Our mission is to help the small stand tall." "The money is in the list." "Your goal should always be trying to move those people to channels that you own." "The relationships you build with customers are always going to be your most valuable asset." "You don't really need the big numbers." "Start small." "Consistency is the big thing that makes marketing work." "Marketing at its simplest level is about keeping your business top of mind." "Small business owners are resilient." "There isn't a Plan B. Plan A is to own this business." "AI can save time so you can get back to the things you'd rather be doing." Bottom Line Dave Charest's interview is a practical playbook for entrepreneurs looking to grow a business in a crowded digital marketplace. His core message is that successful marketing is not about chasing every trend or building massive social media followings. Instead, businesses win by building genuine relationships, creating direct connections with customers through email and text marketing, staying consistent, embracing new technology like AI, and becoming a trusted part of their community. For entrepreneurs seeking sustainable growth, Charest advocates focusing on ownership, relationships, and long-term customer engagement.
