In this episode of The Med-Tech Talent Lab, Mitch Robbins sits down with Jim Miller, Global Leader of Talent Acquisition at Rochester Electronics, to explore what three decades in recruiting have taught him about hiring people instead of resumes.Jim answered a blind ad in the Sunday Boston Globe and made his first placement, a technical writer at Digital Equipment Corporation, before building a career that ran through Fidelity during the Y2K build-out and talent leadership roles at GE, Raytheon, WEX and L3Harris. He explains why understanding the business matters more than recruiting technique, why he only hires relationship recruiters, and why your reputation follows you far longer than your resume ever will.The conversation also explores why hourly hiring has quietly become the hardest job in recruiting, the high school co-op program feeding Rochester's manufacturing floor, how the TN visa opened a talent pool most companies overlook, the hiring mistake he watches companies repeat, and his blunt take on where AI actually helps a talent team and where it simply doesn't.Whether you lead talent acquisition, hire into manufacturing, or are building a career in recruiting, this episode offers practical insights on sourcing when every tool returns the same names, building trust across a team, and why the person responsible for your culture probably belongs closer to the CEO.In this episode, you'll learn:Why understanding the business beats recruiting technique every timeWhat made hourly hiring the hardest job in recruiting after 2021How a high school co-op program became a reliable manufacturing pipelineWhy the TN visa opened a talent pool most companies overlookThe hiring mistake companies repeat: recruiting to basic qualificationsWhere AI genuinely helps a TA team, and where Jim says it falls shortWhy relying on technology leaves recruiters waiting instead of workingThe trust test a mentor ran on Jim, and what it taught him about leadingWhy recruiting is sales, and why it rarely reports where it should...and so much more!Jim Miller on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmiller64/Rochester Electronics on the web: www.rocelec.com

A lot of things in life are squishy, including your skin, your organs, and all the goo inside you. But technology tends to be rigid and hard. Figuring out how to get those two worlds to work together can be challenging. How do you connect an electronic sensor to a soft, beating heart? As an inventor of biocompatible electronic devices, John A. Rogers has designed things like flexible probes, a pacemaker smaller than a grain of rice, and wireless sensors that stick to skin like a temporary tattoo. He joins Host Flora Lichtman to talk about the challenges of meshing the natural and artificial worlds, and his approach to science and technology development.Guest: Dr. John A. Rogers is a professor and director of the Querrey-Simpson Institute of Bioelectronics at Northwestern University.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Why I'm Glad the Fed Increased Interest Rates on September 16 On Wednesday, September 16, at 2 p.m. Eastern, the Federal Reserve announced its decision to increase interest rates by 0.25% to the range of 3.75% to 4% from 3.5% to 3.75%. This was the first rate hike since July 2023. Your initial reaction might be, “Why would you want the Fed to increase interest rates?” Generally, higher rates are viewed as bad for stocks because they can slow the economy and make bonds more attractive relative to equities. But I think this time is a little different, and investors need to think outside the box. The new Federal Reserve Chairman, Kevin Warsh, has made it clear since taking over that he intends to be tough on inflation. We recently received the latest Consumer Price Index report, and inflation remains nowhere near the Fed's 2% target. We also continue to see a very strong jobs market, which could be viewed by Chairman Warsh as evidence that the economy remains strong enough to handle a modest increase in interest rates. I believe the rate hike actually sent an important message to the markets: Chairman Warsh means what he says. If he wants to establish credibility as an inflation fighter, this was an opportunity to show investors that he is willing to make the difficult decisions necessary to prevent inflation from becoming a bigger problem down the road.   The consumer remains stronger than expected The latest retail sales numbers are another sign that the U.S. consumer remains surprisingly strong. Retail sales increased 1.2% in August and are now up 6.0% from a year ago. But what I find even more interesting is what happens when you take gasoline stations out of the equation. Gas station sales increased 21% year over year due to higher gas prices, but sales excluding gasoline stations were still up 4.9% year over year, showing that the strength in consumer spending is not simply the result of higher gas prices. Even excluding both motor vehicle and parts dealers and gasoline stations, sales were up 5.6% from a year ago. What really stands out is how broad the annual growth has been. Electronics and appliance stores were up 7.8%, sporting goods, hobby, musical instrument and book stores were up 10.7%, miscellaneous retailers were up 14.0%, furniture and home furnishing stores were up 1.9%, clothing stores were up 4.3%, general merchandise stores were up 4.5%, building materials and garden equipment were up 5.1%, and restaurants and bars were up 5.8%. Interestingly every major category that is tracked in the report showed an annual increase. Another factor worth mentioning is the timing of Amazon Prime Day. The promotional event occurred earlier this year, which pulled some spending forward into June and created a tougher comparison for July. As that distortion faded, non-store retail sales rebounded sharply in August, rising 2.6% from July. The Census data show nonstore sales up 9.9% from a year earlier. The other number I am watching is the retail “control group,” which excludes several volatile categories and is used in calculating consumer spending for GDP. That measure jumped 1.4% in August, its strongest monthly increase since September 2024. There has been plenty of discussion about consumers becoming more cautious, inflation remaining elevated and higher gasoline and diesel prices putting pressure on household budgets. Those are legitimate concerns. But the actual spending data continue to tell us that consumers are still opening their wallets. For now, the consumer looks much stronger than some of the economic headlines would suggest. The bigger question is whether this strength can continue if inflation and energy prices remain elevated and households continue to draw down savings. That will be something I'll be watching closely over the next several months.   How to Talk to Your Parents When They've Been Scammed Like many people, when we find out that someone we love or care about has been scammed, our first reaction is to get angry and immediately want to step in and fix the problem. The problem is that many scammers are extremely good at what they do. Whether it's a romance scam or one of the countless other types of scams, these people are professionals at building trust and relationships with their victims. Remember, a scammer may have spent weeks, if not months, building a relationship with the person they are scamming. If you come in like a bull in a china shop, you could face resistance. You may hear things that make no sense to you, such as your parents saying that you don't want them to be happy or that they know exactly what they're doing. That's why you should not start by accusing them of being foolish or saying they don't know what they're doing. Doing that can immediately put them on the defensive and make it much harder to help them. Instead, you need to build trust with your parents and let them know that you are on their side. Say things like, “I'm here to protect you.” Be especially careful if you believe the scammer has driven a wedge between you and your parents. That can be an intentional tactic designed to keep you from intervening and stopping the scam. Always talk calmly to your parents, or anyone else who is being scammed, and try to help them identify inconsistencies in the scammer's story. If you notice something that doesn't make sense, point it out without attacking them. For example, if money was wired to an account but the name on the account doesn't match the name the scammer has been using, that could be an important detail to discuss. You should also try to get other trusted people involved. A banker, accountant, financial advisor, relative, or another person your parents trust may be able to help them see the situation differently. The goal is not to prove that you are right. The goal is to protect someone you love. If you handle the situation correctly, you may be able to prevent your parents from losing their entire nest egg. But if you come on too strong, you could push them further toward the scammer and make it even harder to help them.   There aren't as many low-interest mortgages in the United States as you may expect In the United States, there are roughly 86.4 million open mortgages, representing approximately $13.1 trillion in mortgage debt. When interest rates and mortgage rates were extremely low in 2021, it seemed like almost everyone was refinancing their mortgages into rates around 3%. Apparently, that wasn't quite the case. Some homeowners may have sold their homes and purchased new ones, taking on a higher mortgage rate in the process. Today, homeowners with a mortgage rate below 3% account for roughly 20% of all mortgages. That's actually less than the 22% of mortgages with rates above 6%. The largest group, at 33%, has mortgage rates between 3% and 4%. For years, we've been told that the housing market is being held back because so many homeowners are sitting on extremely low mortgage rates and don't want to give them up. But nearly half of all mortgages have rates above 4%, which may mean that the mortgage-rate “lock-in effect” isn't quite as widespread as we've been led to believe. Maybe the housing market simply wasn't as strong as we thought.   Do we need government regulation on artificial intelligence? I'm not, and never have been, a big fan of government regulation, but there are certain things in history that just make sense to regulate. On a smaller scale, who would think it makes sense not to have an age limit for a driver's license? Another regulation that makes sense is having a legal drinking age. Can you imagine if it were perfectly acceptable for a 12-year-old to drink whenever they wanted? On a much bigger scale, during the arms race, the United States and the Soviet Union negotiated arms control agreements. Those agreements may have helped prevent the world from experiencing a nuclear war. But what about AI, or artificial intelligence? It seems like it could be incredibly beneficial, but just like nuclear power can be beneficial while nuclear weapons can lead to devastating consequences, AI has the potential to be used for both tremendous good and tremendous harm. Unfortunately, we can't simply stop the development of artificial intelligence. There are many potential benefits including increased productivity and we also can't afford to fall behind China in the development of AI. If the United States were to completely step away from AI while China continued to advance, we could lose significant economic and technological influence around the world. That's why I believe we need reasonable guardrails around artificial intelligence. Ideally, the United States and China should work toward establishing some basic rules that both sides agree to follow. The goal shouldn't be to stop AI or prevent innovation. The goal should be to make sure we develop useful and efficient AI while reducing the risk that uncontrolled AI could cause catastrophic consequences.   Financial Planning: Should You Take Your Pension Lump Sum Sooner? If you are approaching retirement and have a pension with a lump-sum option, it is important to understand how interest rates may affect your benefit. Traditional pensions are defined benefit plans, meaning the monthly annuity payment is generally determined by factors such as years of service and compensation. A lump-sum option, however, is calculated by determining the present value of those future pension payments using an applicable interest rate. Generally, higher interest rates result in lower lump-sum values. Therefore, if rates are expected to rise, retiring sooner could potentially result in a larger lump sum. However, every pension plan is different, including the interest rates used and how far back the plan looks when determining the applicable rate. Before making a retirement decision based on interest-rate timing, be sure to review your specific plan provisions and understand how your lump-sum benefit is calculated.   Company Discussed: On Holding AG (Ticker: ONON)

In this episode of Talk Law Radio, host and Texas attorney Todd Marquardt unpacks major legislative changes taking effect across Texas, breaks down important retirement and financial planning strategies, and explores high-profile legal stories making headlines. Financial Focus: Wealth, Business Ownership, and Early Retirement Guest Jacob Warren, a financial planner with Financial Planning HQ, discusses the hidden risks that cause "retirement boats to leak" when high-net-worth individuals and business owners focus solely on investments rather than total risk management, estate planning, and tax efficiency. Early Retirement Realities: Planning to retire at 45 requires bridging a 20-year gap before Medicare eligibility and budgeting for higher discretionary spending (e.g., increased vacation expenses). Business Owners & Valuations: Owners shouldn't rely solely on their company as a retirement nest egg. Valuations and clean, organized accounting records are vital long before a sale. Budgeting Foundation: Budgeting remains the essential baseline for lifetime income projections to outlast inflation and cover healthcare. New Texas Legislation Effective September 1 Todd reviews new state regulations and offers commentary on their impact on everyday consumers and the free market economy: Gold & Silver as Legal Tender: Texas recognizes qualifying, privately produced gold and silver specie marked with weight and purity as legal tender to the extent permitted under the U.S. Constitution. Right to Repair Electronics: Manufacturers must make repair parts, tools, and documentation available on non-discriminatory terms to owners and independent shops for devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets. Certain categories, including medical devices, vehicles, and game consoles, remain exempt. Solar Panel Consumer Protections (Texas Occupations Code, Ch. 1806): New rules require written contracts with transparent disclosures, mandatory five-day cancellation periods, registration of sellers with TDLR, and strict penalties up to $100,000 for violations targeting seniors. Listener Call-In & Discussion A listener from Houston calls in to share a ongoing dispute involving a solar installation from 2025 where missing battery backups and financing discrepancies left his system offline for nearly a year. Sinners & Saints: Legal Spotlight & Estate Legacy Lindsay Clancy Murder Trial Update: Todd explains the legal mechanics behind the deadlocked jury and mistrial in Massachusetts, contrasting Massachusetts law (where prosecution must prove sanity) with Texas law regarding the affirmative defense of insanity. Multi-State Estate Planning: In the legacy spotlight, Todd discusses how owning real estate in multiple states (such as Texas and Minnesota) subjects property to the probate laws of the state where the land sits. He emphasizes that how you leave an inheritance is just as important as what you leave. Key Takeaways Start Retirement Planning Early: Business owners and early retirees must coordinate taxes, health insurance, and valuation metrics well in advance of their target date. Understand Consumer Protections: The new Texas solar law gives homeowners five days to cancel contracts and ties financing cancellation directly to the retail deal. Property Law is Location-Specific: Real estate in different states will be governed by those specific states' probate laws upon death, requiring coordinated estate planning. -Sponsored by Marquardt Law Firm and Financial Planning HQ -Go to marquardtlawfirm.com and financialplanninghq.net If you found this episode valuable, please Subscribe and hit the Notification Bell on YouTube.

Humanity's first faster-than-light jump succeeds. Six hours later, the test ship returns to its Kuiper Belt quarantine berth at exactly 812 degrees Celsius, and it refuses to cool.Harmon knows the number. The navigation architect saw it in his preflight models, an unexplained constant he classified as noise rather than risk delaying the mission. Now 812 is spreading from the ship into Outpost K-9. Steel glows without deforming. Electronics stop obeying familiar rules. The station itself begins to change.What came back is not ordinary heat. It is a foothold for the physics beneath spacetime, and containment is failing. With Earth twelve hours from useful help, there may be no rescue coming in time.Harmon may be the only person who can shut the breach because he is the only one who understands the route that opened it. Reaching the FTL core means crossing a station being rewritten around him, while every meter forces him deeper into the consequences of the warning he chose to bury.

Do you listen to your bees? Beekeepers rely heavily on sight when inspecting a colony, along with touch and even smell. But in this installment of Bee Science with Dr. Dewey Caron, Dewey asks us to consider another source of information—the remarkable world of sound and vibration produced by honey bees. Honey bees live in an acoustic world that extends well beyond the familiar buzz we hear around a colony. Dewey explores how bees produce sound through their flight muscles and how they perceive airborne vibrations through their antennae and substrate-borne vibrations through their legs. He also explains why a queenless colony can sound noticeably different from a queenright colony and how experienced beekeepers can sometimes recognize changes within a colony simply by listening. Dewey then returns to the waggle dance, exploring research showing that sound and vibration are important components of honey bee communication. Recruits aren't simply following a dancer—they are receiving vibroacoustic information that helps communicate the distance to a food source. The science gets even more fascinating as Dewey examines stop signals, predator warnings, learning among young dancers, and acoustic communication in other honey bee species. Finally, Dewey traces the history of using colony sounds to understand bee behavior, from Eddie Woods' pioneering Apidictor in the 1950s to today's digital sensors, sophisticated microphones, and machine-learning systems designed to interpret what's happening inside a colony without unnecessarily opening the hive. The next time you're working your bees, don't just look. Listen. Your colony may be telling you more than you realize. This is Part One of Dewey's exploration of sound in honey bees. In Part Two, he'll return to some of the specialized sounds associated with swarming and communication.

Portland entrepreneur Mark Maher says it was around March 2025 when he and his family got to experience firsthand the thrill of smashing ceramic plates, glass vases, TVs and other electronic devices. That experience took place at a friend’s rage room in Boise, Idaho, where customers book sessions to don goggles, gloves and other safety equipment to obliterate objects in a controlled, safe environment.    Soon after, Maher opened Rage Room Portland, which celebrated its one-year anniversary this month by opening its second location inside Stickmen Brewing Company in Tualatin.      Business is also booming at OutRaged Rage Room, which opened in Vancouver in 2019. Owner Tera Gale says her three themed rage rooms are usually booked back to back on the weekends, with individuals or groups of up to 15 people paying to smash not only electronics and glassware but also personal objects they might find cathartic to destroy, such as a wedding dress from a failed marriage.    Gale and Maher join us to share what they think is behind the appeal of rage rooms, where the adage, “you break it, you buy it,” is taking on new meaning.

The days of automatically upgrading your phone or computer every time it slows down are officially over. Clark breaks down why inflation and rising component costs mean tech prices are going "up, up, and away." Tech giants like Apple are raising device prices to protect their profit margins. While Clark has advised against sinking money into old electronics, the math has changed. Clark shares his rule of thumb for deciding when to repair versus replace, why TVs remain the one truly disposable tech item, and how to avoid the "free phone trap" being pushed by the big three wireless carriers. Also, Clark dives into the massive shakeup happening in the insurance industry. State Farm is facing major backlash from its own agents after dropping a hammer on their compensation models—a desperate move to compete in a market where they are losing ground. Hear which company has taken the lead by embracing a hybrid model, and what to expect buying online vs. with an agent.Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take.
