In this episode, Clint has a conversation with Eric Stone, former Enterprise Holdings executive, founder & CEO of Clear Path Ventures, and author of the award-winning book, “Jumpstart Your Workplace Culture.” During their discussion, Eric defines what workplace culture really means, how to create a sense of accountability without fear, and why attitude, effort, and coachability are the core traits of high-performing teams. Plus, Eric explains his signature “hourglass” model for leading culture change. This is the first part of a two-part conversation.

Creating Thriving Work Environments Eric and I dove into the essentials of workplace culture, a topic central to our careers. Eric shared his journey from a childhood fascination with business to leading large teams at Enterprise Rent-a-Car. His book on company culture and high performance has become a key resource for his speaking and consulting work. We explored what it takes to create work environments where employees don't just survive—they thrive. It all starts with strong relationships, clear communication, and understanding the diverse needs of a multigenerational workforce. Setting clear expectations is critical, especially in today's workplace, where retention is a growing challenge. When organizations prioritize culture and communication, they see stronger engagement and long-term success. Effective Communication and Planning for Success Our discussion also highlighted the role of communication and strategic planning in driving results. I shared a case from my time at Mercedes-Benz, where we implemented an asset-tracking system to streamline operations. The key takeaway? Getting things right the first time prevents unnecessary work and improves efficiency. Eric echoed this with his experience launching a content initiative for sales, emphasizing the importance of a steady, intentional approach to culture-building. We also tackled a critical hiring insight—focusing on a candidate's match rather than just their fit within an organization. Engaged employees who align with company values will consistently outperform those who check the right boxes. His book profoundly covers these themes, offering practical strategies for building high-performing teams. Hiring for Potential and Career Growth One story that stood out was hiring a receptionist without prior healthcare experience. Over time, she thrived, earned a promotion, and eventually ran a clinic. It reinforced the idea that hiring should be about potential rather than just experience. Eric and I agreed that asking the right questions during hiring is essential in identifying high-potential candidates. Too often, employers focus on filling a position quickly rather than considering a candidate's long-term career trajectory. Investing in people's growth benefits both the individual and the organization. Connecting Beyond the Conversation We wrapped up by discussing ways to keep the conversation going and share the episode when it's live.

On this episode of the Customers First Podcast, Tacey welcomes back Eric Stone, the founder of ClearPath Ventures and author of "Jumpstart Your Workplace Culture. A Roadmap for Igniting High Performance." Eric delves deep into the essence of workplace culture and high performance, shedding light on the principles that can lead organizations toward success.  The heart of the conversation focuses on defining company culture. Eric mentions that culture is essential "behaviours in action"—the alignment between stated values and actual organizational behaviours. This distinction is crucial as we explore how culture can significantly influence an organization's ability to execute its strategies effectively. Eric emphasizes that a company's culture can only be assessed by observing behaviours when leadership isn't present, highlighting the true character of an organization's environment. We touch upon the importance of getting "in the trenches" with teams—a practice Eric advocates for to gain valuable insights that might otherwise go unnoticed. He lays out three key practices: listening, observing, and learning. This approach helps leaders connect with their teams and creates a feedback loop that strengthens the organization's culture. He stresses that the clarity of mission, vision, and core values must guide every decision made within an organization. One of the standout discussions is around overcoming obstacles within workplace culture, where Eric introduces the idea of being a "distraction catcher." He explains that successful leaders must buffer their teams from unnecessary noise, enabling them to focus on achieving key initiatives. Eric's wealth of knowledge and experience equips listeners with actionable strategies for cultivating vibrant workplace cultures. His insights reinforce the idea that a customer-centric culture is beneficial for clients and integral to internal success, urging leaders to create environments that inspire and empower their teams.  Timestamps: 3:40: Understanding Company Culture 8:49: The Role of Culture Carriers 12:18: Roadmap Summit Essentials   Eric's Contact Information: Website: https://clearpathventures.com LinkedIn: @eric-stone-clear-path Book Link: Amazon Link to Book   Tacey's Contact Information: All Social Media: @taceyatkinson Website: https://www.taceyatkinson.com   Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to having more valuable conversations together in the future.   Remember: Customer-Centric Cultures Create Magical Customer Experiences.

"Clear beats clever, yet we're still incentivising clever in organisations… “A brilliant conversation with Eric about creating the conditions for both performance and people to thrive. We delve into the different parts of this journey to build a culture that enables performance. The acronym LoL—listen, observe, learn— highlights the importance of engaging with employees and clients to understand their challenges beyond financial metrics. We also discuss the importance of personal interactions, that are vital for building trust, particularly in the digital age. A human-centric strategy and cultural resilience are crucial for navigating crises, and being intentional with our actions to build relationships, communicate effectively and take people with us on this journey is important to building a new way of thinking, acting and being. We all suffer from complexity bias, and the importance of clarity over complexity has never been more pressing, as we look to lead with empathy, streamline messages and enhance focus.Eric generously shares his stories, experience and operational tips from his career and from working with leaders across the five generations. The main insights you'll get from this episode are : - Starting from a fascination with leadership from an early age, through business school, and working for a company that enabled personal growth resulted in a message of impact to pass on in the form of a book.- Based on the notion that ‘simple' plans are not necessarily simplistic to implement, the book offers anecdotes and practical tips for hands-on operationalisation for leaders as the mechanic for the car, and whose people are the vehicle for the journey.- LOL – listen, observe and learn – as a foundation for strategy to obtain different opinions to give a new view of how best to act, thanks to a diversity of perspective - no one is ever smarter than the room even if they are the smartest person in the room.- Observing behaviours and action is the simplest definition of culture. Visiting with and talking to people builds trust – a roadmap is not a new idea, but without the human element it is just directions, and leadership must navigate both the path and the people.- The ‘velvet hammer' approach refers to the relationship between people and performance – leaders must truly listen, observe and learn, make people feel special, but also give them accountability, balancing head and heart.- Clear beats clever, despite this not being the paradigm in most organisations. Clarity can be achieved through simplicity to overcome complexity bias - complex does not mean better, and improvement does not mean adding to.- It is much better to master the basics than trying to be too clever; leaders are overwhelmed with information and excuses are introduced – far better is to avoid the noise and be a ‘distraction catcher'.- The abc of communication: know when to amplify a message, buffer it, and convey it. To embed this in a culture successfully and sustainably requires feedback, time management, the definition of priorities, and difficult conversations.- Cultural resilience is about equipping people to have conversations in the workplace and about having an intentional approach to everything e.g. stay interviews. It acts as a shock absorber when bad news strikes, by building a solution mindset.- A ‘check under the hood' process allows for the tangible measurement of culture by asking questions, obtaining data,

From an entry level position at Enterprise Rental Car spanning over two and a half decades when he left the company as the Regional Vice President, Eric Stone learned a thing or two about CULTURE. Through engagement and other key steps, you create Culture Carriers. Look at: Time Management and Eisenhower's grid demarcations of Delegate, Do, Defer, or Delete Hiring Practices to include focusing on attitude, effort, and coachability Hold regular meetings to highlight desired outcomes, then back fill the calendar with times for training and review. Remember that beliefs lead to behaviors. Identify your priorities and keep them in front of your team members. Remember that 40% of your team don't actually know what's expected of them. In exploring corporate culture, investigate the gap between Values and Behavior. Whether working in-office, remotely, or hybrid, there are five factors of engagement that need to be focused on: Relationship with the manager Understanding of requirements Having and utilizing the proper tools and tech Personal and Professional Development Reward systems Because there's no pressure relief for those working remotely (and hybrid/remote), the stress and anger felt on one day could well carry over to the next day. Leaders need to be the pressure-relief and support. Calendar time for engagement; that's the core of leadership Explore, “What works? And what can we do better?” Measure workplace culture via: Engagement Experience Ethics & Behavior balanced against Values Sales Retention Growth FRAMEWORK of the Hourglass Discovery - pull information Orchestrate - formulate and roll out priorities Training Assessment & Measurement Balance Mission, Vision, and Values against Policies and Procedures Find Eric Stone on Linked In and Instagram (ClearPathVentures_) and pick up his book Jumpstart Your Workplace Culture wherever books are sold!

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for Feb 20th            Publish Date:  Feb 19th            Commercial: From the Drake Realty Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Tuesday, February 20th, and Happy heavenly Birthday to Steeley Dan founder Walter Becker. ***02.20.24 – BIRTHDAY – WALTER BECKER*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Life Sentence Issued for Austell Murder Convict Investigation Shifts: South Cobb Fatal Crash Now Not Considered Hit and Run Cobb Sheriff Earns Prestigious 'Triple Crown' Accreditation Recognition"   All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    BREAK: CUofGA STORY 1: Man Sentenced to Life for Austell Murder Douglasville resident, Sony Lebrun, 37, has been handed a life sentence without parole for a murder case dating back to August 2021. The Cobb County jury found him guilty on multiple charges including malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and firearm possession. Lebrun's conviction relates to the fatal shooting of Eric Stone, a consequence of road rage at the Premier Lane Apartments in Austell. Witnesses pinpointed Lebrun as the culprit and his presence at the crime scene was confirmed by GPS cell phone data. Cobb Superior Court Judge Sonja Brown presided over his sentencing, commending the diligent efforts of law enforcement and prosecutors in the case. Cobb County Assistant District Attorneys Jay Winkler and Donna Merrell represented the prosecution for District Attorney Flynn Broady Jr.'s office. Broady underscored the importance of this conviction in reinforcing community safety. STORY 2: Fatal Crash in South Cobb No Longer Investigated as a Hit and Run The investigation into a fatal crash on Veterans Memorial Highway has taken a turn. Authorities have stopped their hunt for a black SUV previously thought to be involved in the incident. Instead, the collision has now been attributed to a motorcycle operated by Christopher Johnson hitting pedestrian Melissa Winslow. Winslow sustained severe injuries as a result of the accident. Tragically, Johnson did not survive and was declared dead at the scene. Initially, it was believed that Winslow had been trapped under the SUV, but further investigation clarified that the SUV's driver had stopped to inspect the damage before leaving the site. The unfortunate event transpired when Winslow attempted to cross the highway. Johnson's motorcycle hit her, causing her to be thrown into the westbound lanes. The case continues to be under scrutiny by local authorities. STORY 3: Cobb Sheriff Recognized for 'Triple Crown' Accreditation Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens recently received recognition at the Georgia Senate for a significant achievement by his office. His department has secured accreditations from the three most prestigious law enforcement credentialing authorities in the U.S - the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, the American Correctional Association, and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. The Cobb Sheriff's Office now stands among an exclusive group of 100 sheriff's offices across the nation and only five in Georgia to have attained this honor. Owens underscored the critical role of professionalism in law enforcement during his remarks. He generously attributed this accomplishment to his devoted staff, whose efforts have materially elevated the agency's standards and services, ultimately benefiting the citizens of Cobb County. This achievement highlights the commitment of Sheriff Owens and his team to uphold the highest standards of law enforcement excellence, underscoring their dedication to serving the community with integrity and professionalism.

STORY 7: With Brad Wheeler's support, Tre' Hutchins Hopes to Advance Cobb School Safety Plan In the wake of a shooting incident at McEachern High School, Leroy Tre' Hutchins, a member of the Cobb County Board of Education, has put forth a comprehensive school safety plan. This proposal has managed to secure a rare consensus across party lines. Key elements of the plan include deploying school support officers, procuring technology to detect weapons at events and within school premises, and conducting a financial analysis. Hutchins aspires to utilize surplus funds along with revenue generated from the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax to offset the costs associated with these measures. While certain safety initiatives are already underway, Hutchins underscores the importance of an all-encompassing strategy to ensure student safety remains paramount. The potential ratification of this plan would mark a significant stride towards addressing safety concerns in Cobb County schools.

In a McKinsey study, it was found that 70% of corporate culture transformations fail. These failures often result from misalignment with business strategy, lack of leadership commitment, insufficient employee engagement, ineffective communication, and a lack of measurement. Successful navigation of cultural change requires a strategic approach that addresses these challenges dynamically for a higher likelihood of success.   About my guest Eric Stone As the Founder of Clear Path Ventures, Eric Stone specializes in expertly guiding young professionals and businesses on their journey to success.

What is organizational culture? Why is culture so important to your business? How do business performance and workplace culture intersect? How can you make meaningful changes to your corporate culture? These are just a few of the questions I'll be exploring with my guests over the next few weeks in my workplace culture miniseries. My first guest is Eric Stone. Eric is founder and CEO of Clear Path Ventures, author of Jumpstart your Workplace Culture: A Roadmap for Igniting High Performance, and was a regional VP for Enterprise Holdings for over 26 years. Tune into episode 123 to hear Eric's story, his 'rocket-booster' moment, and his thoughts on the balance between culture and performance. https://www.andrewtemte.com/

We discuss workplace culture with Eric Stone and discuss his book about improving organisational culture. The interview explores misconceptions about workplace culture, and explores five factors to improve it. Eric introduces the hourglass model for translating and sharing strategy and culture within an organisation. Eric's insights are based on his extensive corporate experience. This episode is part of a series featuring authors discussing their recently published books.

In this episode of the Customers First Podcast, Tacey is joined by Eric Stone, founder of ClearPath Ventures and author of "Jumpstart Your Workplace Culture: A Roadmap for Igniting High Performance." We discuss the importance of aligning values and behaviors in workplace culture, debunking the myth that it's solely an HR function. We explore communication, measuring culture, and the role of "culture carriers." We touch on remote work challenges and the shifting workplace culture landscape. Timestamps 0:00:14 Introducing the Customers First Podcast with Tacey Atkinson 0:02:06 Transitioning from Enterprise to Speaking and Consulting 0:04:14 Importance of Employee Engagement in Customer Interactions 0:08:01 The ABCs of Communication: Amplify, Buffer, Convey 0:10:21 Measuring Workplace Culture: Pulse Surveys and Six-Point Inspection 0:11:51 Measuring Success: Customer Experience and Employee Satisfaction 0:13:37 The Importance of Relationship Building and Consistent Behaviors 0:15:16 The Hourglass Approach: Gathering Information and Setting Priorities 0:17:36 Creating Culture Carriers within Organizations 0:21:26 Identifying Culture Carriers and Remote Work Challenges 0:27:19 Colorblind Dress Mishaps and Funny Stories 0:29:28 Family: The Most Exciting Part of Life 0:31:44 Building a High-Performance Culture and Accessibility Eric stresses the significance of transparent communication of expectations and goals and comprehensive training and coaching programs in building a solid and productive workplace culture. He refutes the common misconception that workplace culture is a vague and ambiguous concept and points out that a workplace culture's foundation is employees' behaviours and actions, with no gap between the company values and the actions that follow. Stone's book, Jumpstart Your Workplace Culture, provides a step-by-step guide for organizations to create a culture that fosters high performance and productivity by implementing effective communication strategies while creating a sense of purpose and belonging among employees, and setting up a system of recognition and rewards to incentivize great work. Employee engagement in customer interactions, though members' actions and behaviours shape a workplace's culture, and successful organizations demonstrate a seamless alignment between their stated values and actual behaviours. Building employee engagement is predicated on clear communication of expectations and objectives, comprehensive training and coaching, and regular recognition of effort and achievement. Engaged employees drive positive outcomes such as improved customer service, higher retention rates, increased profitability, and business expansion. All leaders must possess effective communication skills, including the ability to amplify, buffer, and convey messages. Measuring workplace culture can be achieved through various methods such as pulse surveys, engagement surveys, and a six-point inspection that encompasses employee engagement, customer experience, understanding of company values, and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. A strong focus on inclusivity is pivotal to building a diverse and thriving workforce.  To build a high-performance culture, Eric shared that it is essential to start with employee engagement and utilize visual methods, such as the hourglass approach, to gather information, set priorities, and reinforce consistent behaviours. The organization can create a roadmap for success while recognizing and rewarding the individuals who inspire and lead others. It's essential to develop culture carriers who become the region's voice and spread the message to scale the culture organization-wide. These individuals can help reinforce the company culture's values, beliefs, and behaviours. These culture carriers don't necessarily have to be in leadership positions, but they need to earn the respect of others by embodying the organization's values and always doing the right thing.  Eric's closes with encouraging listeners to check out his book and upcoming workbook and audiobook.   Eric's Contact Information: Website: https://www.ericdstone.com/ Instagram: @clearpathventures_ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-stone-clear-path/   Tacey's Contact Information: https://linktr.ee/taceyatkinson Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to having more valuable conversations together in the future.

"Culture is this catalyst to execution and getting a group of people to achieve the uncommon, unleashing people's true potential," says Eric Stone. In this episode of the Authentic Change Podcast, Mike Horne welcomes Eric Stone, a seasoned leader with a special track record for creating high-performance cultures. With a 26-year career at Enterprise Holdings, one of North America's largest privately held companies, Eric shares his insights on what it takes to connect with and motivate employees from all generations and demographics to create exceptional results. In his new book, "Jumpstart Your Workplace Culture: A Roadmap for Igniting High Performance," Eric shares practical strategies for creating a strong and engaging culture. He emphasizes the importance of aligning personal and company values, selecting employees based on character, and providing clear goals and expectations. Eric also highlights the significance of employee training, development, recognition, and empowerment in avoiding burnout and fostering memorable customer experiences. His experiences and insights inspire listeners to embrace their values, develop strong relationships with their teams, and create a culture that drives high performance and success. Quotes: "I look at culture as this catalyst to execution and getting a group of people to achieve the uncommon, unleashing people's true potential." (9:05 | Eric Stone)  "So how do you get people to avoid burnout? Well, if you create strong relationships with your team and build initiatives from the beginning through their journey, that's one real important thing. If you supply them with the training, the proper development, the information and equipment, and to get that desired outcome, that's going to be very helpful. If you truly get to develop them personally and professionally, that's important. If you're very clear in communicating your goals and expectations, that's important. And you want to be able to recognize and reward excellence. And when you package those together, the importance of the training one really overlaps a lot of them. And most people tend to get burnt out when they really are in an unknown. They get anxious, frustrated, disengaged when they don't know where they are, where they're standing, or they're getting no guidance. I truly believe people want to do really well. I don't think they show up in corporate America and want to be terrible." (15:02 | Eric Stone) "You know, whatever your grading is, whether it's a one to five, whether it's a 'meets/succeeds', thing is, what does it mean to 'meet'? What are those key things that would be consistent along the ranking system? What does it mean to 'exceed' or to be 'outstanding'? And what are some of those numbers that would lead to an outstanding performance? And so to me, it's just really getting defined. So you're having consistency."

For this episode, Kenneth sat down with Eric Stone of Mudhouse Coffee Roasters to talk about the art and science of roasting. They recorded this episode in Boston while competing as finalists to determine who's the best specialty coffee roaster in America. Eric and Kenneth discuss the subject of roasting coffee in-depth including the different types of coffee roasters, how temperature imoacts the roast, the roast curve, halogen roasting, first and second crack, and tipping just to name a few of the subjects covered. They explain how the look, smell and even the noise the beans make when in the roaster at the various stages of the roast impact your cup of coffee.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The way your coffee is roasted has about a 30% impact on how it tastes.  Small sample roasters are used to evaluate new batches of beans, identify the flavor profile, and manipulate those flavors to create the best overall taste. The same bean, roasted in different ways, can taste extraordinarily different. A new variable in roasting is emerging which uses halogen as the heat source. The roast profile curve is the order in which key stages of the roasting process occur - Kenneth and Eric walk you through this curve. Light roasts are more sensitive to changes in the roasting process than dark roasts. It is particularly important to cool the beans down as fast as possible to stop the cooking process at the right temperature once roasting is complete. The water content and density of the bean have a significant impact on your roast.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Our sample drum roaster also has airflow moving through the drum, so you´re roasting with both convection and conduction. ´ ‘There are countless ways you can manipulate the flavor of a coffee.' ‘Once you're past the first crack, if you apply too much heat you run the risk of making some roaster errors.'   EPISODE RESOURCES Link to episode 6: What is Specialty Coffee? With John Lawrence who is also from Mudhouse Coffee Roasters: https://omny.fm/shows/coffee-101/what-is-specialty-coffee Link for Stronghold coffee roaster mentioned in the episode that uses radiant heat - https://www.roastronix.com/ GUEST RESOURCES INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mudhousecoffeeroasters WEBSITE: https://mudhouse.com/   VALUABLE RESOURCES Award-winning single-origin specialty coffee: https://umblecoffee.com/   You're disciplined and high achieving. You never settle. Shouldn't the fuel that helps you reach your goals be held to those same standards? Instead of a crash-inducing cup of jo, you need coffee with optimal antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. A coffee so good that you can drink it black. At Umble Coffee, we only roast specialty-grade arabica coffee from around the world with cupping scores 84 and above. Don't sabotage yourself in pursuing your goals - drink coffee that tastes better and is better for you. No crash, great taste, and better long-term health benefits. That's Umble Coffee.    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/umblecoffee/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/umblecoffee/ Twitter:  https://mobile.twitter.com/umblecoffee   ABOUT THE HOST As a coffee lover, physician, chemical engineer, serial entrepreneur, competitive runner, writer, and family man, Kenneth knows what it's like to push yourself to achieve goals very few accomplish. He's one of the best specialty coffee roasters in the United States as he's a multi-year US Coffee Roasters' Competition Finalist. He created Umble Coffee Co with the belief that, if sourced and roasted right, coffee can taste phenomenal and be good for you. “Life's too short to drink bad coffee.”   Podcast Description Coffee 101 is an educational show on all things coffee.

THROWBACK - Andrew Billing started PowerliftingCast back in March of 2008, and Eric Stone was his first guest. Well before the days when seemingly everyone had their own podcast, Andrew was well ahead of his time, hosting the audio files directly on his own website. Andrew would go onto train with Team Stone part-time for a time, and has since left the sport of powerlifting. But, he did give Eric Stone permission to use the podcasts he recorded back in '08 - '09. If there's interest, we will post the rest of the dozen or so interviews. We did some limited editing of the audio file (mostly to balance out the volume), it is mostly being presented as it was originally recorded.

Here are some of the stories and How Not To Sail moments from Bob Bitchin, Fuel Dock Debbie, and Eric Stone you *didn't* hear in Season One...!

This week, Eric Stone is joined by his wife, Jackie Stone, as a special guest host. They met and trained together at Frantz Gym on the Frantz Power Team back in the early 2000s. After Ernie Frantz passed last week, they both felt it was important to do a tribute episode to him, talking about their memories of Ernie, of training at Frantz Gym, and talking the legacy that that "Godfather of Powerlifting" left behind. In the "PLUSA Throwback" segment, they went through highlights from the March 1996 issue that had the man himself, Ernie Frantz, on the cover, squatting 815lbs at 61 years old at 1995 WPC Worlds.

On this episode of The Deep Share, I sat down with my good friend Eric Stone. He and I have watched the world with wide eyes for a long time now, so the conversation naturally took on a life of it's own. From the current state of the world, to mysteries of the ancient world, to the UFO phenomenon and our government's newfound... weird willingness to share; we covered a lot - and we definitely got into the weeds more than once so this debut will be a 2 parter. Eric is a helluva guy with a wonderful brain; it was a really fun conversation and I hope you enjoy it.For more of his alluring charm and endearing wit, you can follow Eric Stone here.Show Notes:Learn more about CointelproLearn more about The Great Reset from its' source, The World Economic ForumDig Deeper here: "Explaining the Great Reset to Conspiracy Beginners"Learn more about the Smith-Mundt Modernization ActLearn more about Atlantis' only two sources:Plato's CritiasPlato's TimaeusLearn more about the UFO/UAP phenomenonDig Deeper here: "Tic-Tac UFO footage and Q&A"RECENT NEWS: CIA releases "ALL" UFO/UAP docsThanks for checking out this episode of The Deep Share PodcastPLEASE FOLLOW AND SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE!Visit The Deep Share Official WebsiteHelp support The Deep Share:Donate through RedCircleDonate through TheDeepShareSocial Media:Twitter.com/thedeepshareinstagram.com/thedeepsharepodcastyoutube.com/thedeepsharepodcastodysee.com/ThedeepsharepodcastWant to be a guest on The Deep Share?contact@thedeepshare.comSUPPORT ALT MEDIA UNITED!!!http://altmediaunited.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/thedeepsharepodcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ibuprofen, a member of the class of medications known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), is one of the most widely used over the counter medications in the world. It is quite effective for treating pain, reducing fever, and lessening inflammation in the body. However, overuse of ibuprofen can lead to gastrointestinal problems, and may place stress upon the kidneys, and these renal complications can be magnified by the work demands that firefighters face (high aerobic and anaerobic output, dehydration, and heat exposure). Dr. Rob Amrine, a sports medicine physician, and Dr. Eric Stone, a gastroenterologist, join the podcast to talk about ibuprofen, potential side effects from its use, dosing, and potential alternatives.
