Podcasts about elephants

In Episode 373 of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn Cooke and Pat Stuart sit down with David McKelson, founder of Pro Dog Training. David has one of the more unusual backgrounds in Australian dog training. Before moving into dogs, he spent 17 years working in zoos. Much of that time was centred around elephant handling and training. He also worked with marine mammals and assisted with the training of many other species. Those included gorillas, giraffes and maned wolves. That experience gave David a very different perspective on training, animal welfare, staff development and risk management. From Elephants to Dog Training David’s career with animals began in a small wildlife park before he eventually secured a position at a major zoo. Early in his career, he worked across several departments. He eventually moved into elephant handling, where he remained for many years. Working with elephants carried serious consequences. David explains that when things go wrong with an elephant, the result may not simply be an injury. That reality shaped the way his team approached training. Clear systems mattered. Preparation mattered. Staff development mattered. David also became increasingly focused on creating training processes that reduced unnecessary errors. Over time, he travelled internationally and worked alongside experienced elephant trainers in Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States and Asia. Animal Welfare, Suppression and Enrichment One of the strongest parts of the episode explores the relationship between training and animal welfare. David discusses elephants that had experienced heavily suppressive handling earlier in life. Some became extremely difficult and potentially dangerous. One female elephant provides a particularly striking example. She rarely vocalised and displayed repetitive behaviour. She also struggled to settle and sleep normally. After she was introduced to another female elephant, her behaviour changed dramatically. She began vocalising and later started lying down to sleep. The discussion highlights the importance of social needs, enrichment and appropriate relationships. It also raises a larger question. Are animal management decisions always being made because they improve welfare, or are some decisions influenced by how things appear to the public? Training Versus Public Perception David explains how elephant management within zoos began changing. There was increasing pressure to move away from free-contact programs and towards protected-contact systems. Safety was part of that discussion. Public perception was another. David describes the difficulty of balancing staff safety, animal welfare and the opportunities created through training. The group also discusses how removing training opportunities can sometimes create another problem. Animals still require stimulation. They need opportunities to move, solve problems, interact and engage with their environment. David makes the point that training itself can be an important form of enrichment. That same principle carries directly into dogs. What This Means for Dogs Glenn, Pat and David draw several comparisons between zoo animals and domestic dogs. Simply providing more space does not automatically create better welfare. An animal can have space and still lack meaningful activity. Dogs in boarding or daycare environments may also struggle when they spend too much time without appropriate interaction or stimulation. The conversation examines the importance of enrichment, training and experienced staff. Good animal care requires people who can observe behaviour and recognise when something is beginning to change. That can be particularly important in daycare environments, where group dynamics can shift quickly. Building Pro Dog Training After leaving the zoo industry, David began moving into professional dog training. He completed the NDTF Certificate III and continued developing his practical dog training experience. David later established Pro Dog Training. The business developed from dog training and daycare into a much larger professional operation. Training eventually became approximately 70 per cent of the business. At the time of this conversation, the West Footscray operation was delivering around 80 private lessons each week, along with approximately 40 to 50 classes. David explains that one of the areas he is most proud of is client retention. Many clients who begin with puppy training continue progressing through higher levels of the Pro Dog system. Leadership and Developing Trainers David’s zoo career also shaped the way he approaches staff development. He had already spent years managing teams before entering the dog training industry. That included dealing with strong personalities, workplace culture and the challenges that come with highly specialised animal professionals. David explains that technical skill is only one part of building a good organisation. Communication matters. Leadership matters. Culture matters. Those principles later became central to the way Pro Dog developed. Creating Safer Dog Daycare Systems Pro Dog also takes a structured approach to daycare. Dogs generally attend on the same day each week rather than entering the system casually. This allows the team to develop more stable groups. David believes this creates a safer environment and allows staff to understand the individual dogs more thoroughly. The group also discusses one of the biggest mistakes new daycare operations can make. Growing too quickly can create significant risk. Adding large numbers of unfamiliar dogs into an inexperienced system can quickly overwhelm staff and destabilise groups. Good daycare requires patience, observation and competent supervision. Systems, Franchising and Business Growth The discussion then moves into franchising and business systems. David explains that Pro Dog spent considerable time developing its operating procedures before offering franchise opportunities. The business created extensive systems, manuals and processes. However, David does not believe documentation replaces good leadership. Franchise operators still need support, communication and access to experienced people. He also explains that Pro Dog is not pursuing growth at any cost. In fact, David says they often try to talk potential franchise applicants out of proceeding. The objective is to find people who understand the workload and genuinely want to operate the system properly. Dr Stuart Hilliard The episode finishes with a discussion about Dr Stuart Hilliard and his upcoming Australian seminars. David explains Stuart’s background in working dogs, behavioural science and military dog programs. The seminars will explore topics including Pavlovian conditioning, instrumental conditioning, reward, sign tracking, goal tracking and ethology. The discussion also touches on Stuart’s long history in working dogs and his contribution to the development of modern training knowledge. For serious dog trainers, David believes the opportunity to learn from someone with Stuart’s depth of experience is significant. A Conversation About More Than Dogs Episode 373 covers much more than David McKelson’s journey into dog training. It explores animal welfare, enrichment, risk, leadership, business systems and the consequences of removing meaningful activity from intelligent animals. Most importantly, it asks a question that applies across many areas of animal training. Are we making decisions because they genuinely improve the animal’s life, or because they are easier to explain and defend publicly? That question runs throughout David’s story, from elephants and zoo management through to dogs, daycare and professional training.

We begin Episode 24 with one of those hypothetical questions that immediately exposes exactly how much faith you have in the people around you:Someone offers you $50 million cash, tax-free. All you have to do is call someone. If they don't answer, you get the money.Who are you calling?For the Rizz Show crew, the answer becomes obvious very quickly: King Scott.The man apparently treats incoming phone calls like suggestions.Rizz is already mentally spending his $50 million because King Scott never answers. Moon is apparently another safe bet, and the conversation quickly turns into an intervention about why Scott's phone is always on Do Not Disturb—especially with a very pregnant wife at home.Probably time to turn the ringer on, buddy.If not, apparently the rest of The Rizzuto Show is prepared to raise the child. It takes a village, and unfortunately this is the village available.Then it's time for the Rizz Quiz, where contestants get 45 seconds to answer as many supposedly simple questions as possible. One wrong answer immediately stops the clock. We're talking third-to-fifth-grade territory: basic math, colors, geography, animals, planets and other information most adults confidently assume is still stored somewhere inside their brains.That confidence does not survive this comedy show.Janelle starts strong with pink, 30, LEGO and 366 days in a leap year before the phrase “natural satellite” completely derails the operation. The answer was the moon. Instead, we get a curse word and an early exit.Chris comes in ready to work—and apparently ready to work with the loudest calculator ever manufactured. He gets through Harry Potter, pentagons, Florida, multiplication, McDonald's and subtraction while everybody tries to figure out whether he's playing the Rizz Quiz or doing taxes on a Texas Instruments from 1987.Then Craig absolutely cooks.Milk. Spider legs. Mars. Division. Elephants. Inches. Gravity. Multiplication. Hawaii. Addition. Helium.The man puts up 11 correct answers, which in this game basically makes him Ken Jennings.Bill gets one chance to dethrone him.First question: What animal is known as man's best friend?Dog.Second question: What is 60 divided by 6?Zero.And that's it.Craig wins Blues home-opener tickets while Bill presumably begins a long and painful reconciliation with the number 10.Round two begins with Brittany taking on a piano, decades, Antarctica and basic multiplication. Eight times four?36.Nope.The crew also realizes some questions have returned from the previous day, giving Rizz a chance to see whether anybody actually learned anything from Simpleton Trivia. Spoiler: education remains a work in progress.Then Columbia Jeff steps up and cruises through colors, subtraction, human anatomy, triangles, Mario, multiplication and geography.How many nickels make one dollar?50.Suddenly Rizz feels much better about his own previous nickel-related failure. This isn't just trivia anymore. This is Rizz redemption.Another Jeff enters the arena and successfully handles penguins, division and Canada before 18 plus 22 becomes…50?Math claims another victim.Finally Ethan gets the last shot. He works through stop signs, Washington, D.C., division, dolphins and rainbow colors before getting tangled up in a question about the force behind ocean tides.And that's the Rizz Quiz experience in a nutshell: everything seems insultingly easy until the music starts, a timer is running and suddenly you're staring into the abyss wondering whether 18 plus 22 has always been 50.This comedy show proves once again that basic math becomes advanced calculus when someone puts you on the radio.The Rizz Quiz isn't difficult.Your brain is just a coward.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when the biggest threat to a business, family, or leadership team isn't strategy, money, or intelligence, but the things nobody is willing to say?On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with René Sonneveld, a former Fortune 500 executive turned ICF Master Certified Coach, author, and trusted advisor to executives, enterprise families, boards, and high performers around the world. René's career has taken him from international tax law and global banking to senior leadership roles with organizations including UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Citibank, where he worked at the intersection of family business, governance, wealth, and generational legacy.René shares what years inside boardrooms and family enterprises taught him about the human side of leadership: unspoken tension, trust, succession, identity, emotional dynamics, difficult conversations, and the decisions that determine whether a legacy grows or fractures.We also explore ideas from his book The Elephant in the Family Room, which examines the emotional forces operating beneath the surface of family businesses, along with his forthcoming book Invisible Capital: Building the Family Enterprise of Tomorrow, scheduled for October 2026.This conversation goes beyond business strategy. It's about developing the courage to address what everyone sees but no one wants to discuss, becoming a stronger leader, and building something that can outlive you.Because sometimes the most important conversation in the room is the one nobody is having.https://www.renesonneveld.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.

With the 2026 Federal Budget reshaping tax incentives and many investors questioning whether traditional buy-and-hold strategies still make sense, where should property investors be looking next?In this episode, Veronica Morgan and Chris Bates are joined by property developer and educator Michael Tiemens to explore why small-scale property development is becoming an increasingly attractive strategy for investors seeking to build wealth through value creation rather than relying on market appreciation alone. Michael explains how subdivision and development can manufacture equity, while also highlighting the discipline, due diligence, and strategic thinking required to make these projects successful.Together, they unpack the realities behind successful development—from identifying the right sites and understanding buyer demand to conducting rigorous feasibility studies and managing finance, planning, construction, and market risks. They also challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in property investing: that tax benefits should drive investment decisions. Instead, the conversation focuses on building resilient investment strategies based on sound fundamentals, long-term thinking, and careful risk management.Whether you're an experienced investor looking to adapt to Australia's changing tax landscape or you're considering your first development project, this episode offers practical insights into how small-scale development can fit within a smarter, more sustainable property investment strategy.

Political Scientist Seth Masket's new book, The Elephants in the Room: How Trump Voters Seized the Party from Republican Leaders (Cambridge UP, 2026) is a companion book to his earlier work, Learning from Loss: The Democrats, 2016-2020 (Cambridge University Press, 2020). In researching both these works, Masket spends time with party leaders throughout the United States, discussing the loss at the presidential level (for Democrats in 2016, for Republicans in 2020) and seeking to understand what the lessons might be for each party from their electoral loss. The Elephants in the Room focuses in on the idea and trajectory of nominating Donald Trump for the third time in as many election cycles, as the local party leaders of the Republican Party considered what to do in the lead up to the 2024 election cycle. Masket is able to regularly survey Republican Party chairs (state chairs, local chairs, county chairs) during the period leading to the 2024 nomination cycle. He also interviewed many of these same chairs, especially the ones in New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, and other early primary states. The Elephants in the Room: How Trump Voters Seized the Party from Republican Leaders analyzes the thinking among these party leaders—not necessarily at the national level, but certainly long-standing and engaged local-level leaders—and their concern that nominating Trump again would lead to another presidential election loss for the GOP. One of the key points Masket makes both in the book and in our conversation is that these leaders had built, over time, a political party that they could no longer lead. These leaders are also distinct from the voters themselves, who may be adherents to the party, but are not part of the political party in the same way. Thus, the voters were much more interested in and attracted to the populism that has long lurked within American politics, and, of late, Republican politics, while the partisan leaders were not nearly as drawn to this strain of politics. We discuss the recent history of populist politics in the GOP, with Pat Buchanan's 1992 presidential run and convention speech as a key point within the historical trajectory. Trump, in 2015, entered partisan politics building on this already existing faction within the GOP. This is part of the post-2020 election framing, but Masket makes an important point in how the Republican Party differed from the Democrats in learning from a loss at the presidential level. For the Republicans, it was very difficult to learn much from the results of the 2020 election because so few Republicans were or are willing to acknowledge that Trump actually lost the 2020 election. It is quite difficult to learn a lesson from an event that didn't happen. Seth Masket, Learning from Loss: The Democrats 2016-2020, Cambridge University Press, 2020.

For the Republicans, it was very difficult to learn much from the results of the 2020 election because so few Republicans were or are willing to acknowledge that Trump actually lost the 2020 election. It is quite difficult to learn a lesson from an event that didn't happen. Seth Masket, Learning from Loss: The Democrats 2016-2020, Cambridge University Press, 2020.

Holly Budge is a global keynote speaker on risk, innovation, and human potential, operating at the intersection of conservation, science, and bold ideas. As an Everest summiteer and the first woman to skydive Everest, she now focuses less on surviving extremes and more on solving the complex conservation challenges shaping our future.  As founder of international NGO How Many Elephants and World Female Ranger Week, Holly explores how nature, technology, and innovation can work together to design smarter systems, from using bees as bio-engineers to reduce human-elephant conflict in Africa, to empowering women as front-line wildlife rangers. Her work has reached over 500 million people globally, been featured in Forbes, and praised by Sir David Attenborough. In this episode, Holly shares powerful insights from her journey between extreme adventure and global conservation work, including how her definition of risk and purpose has evolved over time. We dive into the real-world impact of wildlife conservation projects, from elephant corridors and bee-based deterrents to the rise of female ranger teams protecting some of the world's most vulnerable ecosystems. Listen to this episode to hear how adventure can become a force for global change, why women are reshaping the future of conservation, and what it takes to turn bold ideas into real-world impact at scale. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

They explore the experience gap among new entrants, the risks of borderless investing without genuine local expertise, and what happens when marketing skills outpace due diligence and property-buying skills.They also challenge the industry's obsession with “off-market” opportunities and silver-bullet strategies. Bryce argues that parts of the buyer's agent industry may have contributed to recent government intervention, while Veronica reflects on how poor practices have damaged the trust the profession once enjoyed.So what actually makes a good buyer's agent, and how does the industry rebuild consumer trust?This conversation is a candid look at where buyer's agency is heading, what needs to change, and why the next generation of professionals needs to get serious about the craft—not just the marketing.Episode Highlights02:04 — Why Did Bryce and Veronica Join Forces Again?06:43 — Can Regulation Really Fix Buyer's Agency?09:14 — Is Marketing Getting Ahead of the Craft?11:22 — Why You Can't Fake Local Market Expertise16:09 — Who Pays When Buyer's Agents Lack Experience?19:12 — Could the Budget Be Good for Buyer's Agency?24:15 — Stop Copying Others: Find Your Own Differentiation27:41 — Why More Information Isn't the Answer30:19 — Why Good Buyer's Agents Need to Say No33:42 — Why Community and Accountability Matter35:14 — Where Are You: Start, Grow or Scale?38:12 — The Skills Buyer's Agents Will Need Next43:30 — Is “Snake Oil” Damaging Buyer's Agency?47:42 — Rebuilding Trust in the Buyer's Agent Industry51:36 — What Needs to Change From Here?About the GuestBryce Holdaway is a buyer's agent, property expert, author, speaker, television presenter and business executive with decades of experience in Australia's property industry.

By Victor T Hou - This message captures the poignant story of Joseph Merrick, a young man who lived in London in the late 1800s and had a very disfiguring disease.

Sleep Anxiety and OCD: How Carly Broke the Hypnic Jerk Loop and Learned to Trust Her Body AgainIf bedtime fills you with dread, if you've started dreading the sunset, or if hypnic jerks have turned falling asleep into a nightly battle, this episode is for you. Matt Codde, LCSW sits down with Carly, a member of the Restored Minds community, to talk honestly about what it's like to live inside a sleep anxiety loop, and what actually got her out of it.Carly walks through her own descent into relentless hypnic jerks, the compulsions she didn't even realize were compulsions (bedtime routines built on fear, checking the clock, seeking reassurance from her husband), and the belief that was quietly running the whole show: that a bad night of sleep meant a ruined day. This isn't a sleep hygiene episode. It's a conversation about fear, control, and what it actually means to trust your body to do what it already knows how to do.

**Dragon's Back and the Return of the King** Get ready for a hilarious and action-packed episode of our podcast, where our beloved producer is back from a five-week hiatus and we are ready to dive into the latest news and stories. But first, let's talk about the elephant in the room - or rather, the elephant that's no longer in the room, as Jeana's favorite restaurant, Bang Up to the Elephant, has closed its doors. We'll explore the story behind this unique vegan spot and what it means for Denver's food scene. This episode is packed with exciting discussions, from the latest news on the Iran-US conflict to a fascinating analysis of a recent article from the Middle East Forum. We ask for hilarious and ridiculous explanations from listeners as to how Dragon hurt his knee. Plus, we'll talk about the upcoming ballot measures in Colorado, including a constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to purchase and sell natural gas. But that's not all - we'll also discuss the latest news on the Holy Iran thing, where President Trump seems to be willing to take a loss and give Iran a victory. And, of course, we'll touch on the topic of Israel and the so-called genocide in Gaza, where a recent report from the United Nations proves that the claims of widespread starvation and famine are simply not true. So, if you're ready for a dose of humor, news, and insight, tune in to this episode and find out what's been going on while you were away.

Prophecy is real, but so are false prophets. In this message Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how to embrace the important spiritual gift of prophecy without abandoning discernment.Welcome to Elephants in the Room where we tackle tough topics and discuss sensitive subjects.Reminder of our 4 rules:1) I am not targeting anyone and I never will.2) Please give me time to formulate points and cover the subject fully. 3) You have, not only the right, but the responsibility to check up on what I say and verify that it's the truth.4) If you disagree or get offended, please reach out to me personally. Today we are talking about prophecy and false prophets.   The Messy MiddleTake two truths and hold them together, at the same time, in order to find the most accurate version of truth available.  Two "messy middle" statements about prophecy and false prophets:1. God still speaks through the gift of prophecy....and2. Not everyone who claims to speak for God actually does.   Are you willing to pursue prophecy and test prophecy?

Gaius and Germanicus: Gaius recounts the tragic tale of the elephants in 55 BCE, who were lured from North Africawith promises of safety only to be slaughtered in Pompey's arena. The elephants' pathetic pleas moved the Romanaudience to tears, and Gaius notes that Pompey was later "cursed," meeting his end by decapitation in Egypt. Germanicus explains that while gladiatorial combat was a sacred Roman martial ethos used to relive military glory, the empire eventually shifted toward a Greek-Christian vision. This new era, centered in the East, rejected the "primitive tribal vision" of the arena in favor of piety and universal equality. Under Christianity, slavery began to die out in the Eastern Empire. The hosts conclude by preparing to meet a delegation of retired gladiators—men who survived the arena to become free citizens. (3)
