Welcome to HALO Talks! In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Hewitt Tomlin, the entrepreneur behind Teambuildr—a software platform that's changing the game on how strength coaches and personal trainers deliver programming. Starting with a simple idea in college, Hewitt has built Teambuildr into a leading solution for gyms, coaches, and athletes, empowering thousands with better tools for training and performance. Together, they dive into the rapidly-evolving landscape of fitness technology, discussing the rise of strength training in gyms, the impact of AI on coaching, and how fitness pros are adapting to new ways of working in a post-pandemic world. From leveraging digital apps for personalized programs to building strong trainer-client relationships, this candid conversation uncovers what it takes to stay innovative in the fast-paced HALO sector. Tomlin also shares his passion for expanding athletic training into new markets specifically golf—with his involvement in DRVN, a fitness app aimed at merging athleticism with golf performance. Key themes discussed Evolution of Teambuildr and fitness technology. Adoption of AI by strength coaches and trainers. Changing trends in club equipment, focus on strength. Personal trainers utilizing digital tools and apps. Balancing innovation vs. refining existing product features. Retention vs. impact as a measure of success. Entrepreneurial mindset and self-defined business goals. A Few Key Takeaways: 1.Evolution of Teambuildr and Fitness Tech: Hewitt shared the journey of Teambuildr—from its origins as a simple workout distribution platform for college strength coaches to its role as a robust SaaS solution that now supports thousands, not only in team sports but also across private gyms and brick-and-mortar facilities. 2. AI's Role in Coaching: The conversation highlighted how fitness software is rapidly moving from basic digitization (getting off Excel) to integrating AI. Early adopters among coaches are using AI as a "co-pilot" to enhance programming and audit workouts, freeing up more time to apply their expertise where it matters most. 3. Changing Attitudes Toward Training Technology: Tomlin also talked about the shift in the industry: while trainers were once skeptical about templates and AI-generated programs, there's now a broader acceptance of tech-driven best practices.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Alan Dixon, better known in the backpacking world as Adventure Alan. Alan is a literal rocket scientist, a lifelong adventure junkie, and a foundational figure in the early days of ultralight backpacking, having co-founded Backpacking Light. Alan shares some jaw dropping stories from his many routes, including a near-death experience in the Tetons, his philosophy for developing routes—most notably his popular Wind River High Route, the South Sierra High Route, and the Escalante Overland Route. We dig into how he's managed to bring his base weight down to as low as 2.4 lb., the small luxuries he now allows himself, some of his favorite cottage brands, and his overarching gear philosophies. We also talk about why he follows a ketogenic diet and how he maintains it on trail, his adventures with his wife of more than 20 years, and much more. We wrap the show with the triple crown of gifts for backpackers ($75 or less), a hill that we're willing to die on that everyone else thinks is ridiculous, some new AT stamps that have been out for a long time, and I talk fast.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Mike Bakon to explore the fascinating intersection of hardware hacking, blockchain technology, and decentralized systems. Their conversation spans from Mike's childhood fascination with taking apart electronics in 1980s Poland to his current work with ESP32 microcontrollers, LoRa mesh networks, and Cardano blockchain development. They discuss the technical differences between UTXO and account-based blockchains, the challenges of true decentralization versus hybrid systems, and how AI tools are changing the development landscape. Mike shares his vision for incentivizing mesh networks through blockchain technology and explains why he believes mass adoption of decentralized systems will come through abstraction rather than technical education. The discussion also touches on the potential for creating new internet infrastructure using ad hoc mesh networks and the importance of maintaining truly decentralized, permissionless systems in an increasingly surveilled world.

Hardware curiosity drives innovation from childhood - Mike's journey into hardware began as a child in 1980s Poland, where he would disassemble toys like battery-powered cars to understand how they worked. This natural curiosity about taking things apart and understanding their inner workings laid the foundation for his later expertise in microcontrollers like the ESP32 and his deep understanding of both hardware and software integration.2. AI as a research companion, not a replacement for coding - Mike uses AI and LLMs primarily as research tools and coding companions rather than letting them write entire applications. He finds them invaluable for getting quick answers to coding problems, analyzing Git repositories, and avoiding the need to search through Stack Overflow, but maintains anxiety when AI writes whole functions, preferring to understand and write his own code.3. Blockchain decentralization requires trustless consensus verification - The fundamental difference between blockchain databases and traditional databases lies in the consensus process that data must go through before being recorded. Unlike centralized systems where one entity controls data validation, blockchains require hundreds of nodes to verify each block through trustless consensus mechanisms, ensuring data integrity without relying on any single authority.4. UTXO vs account-based blockchains have fundamentally different architectures - Cardano uses an extended UTXO model (like Bitcoin but with smart contracts) where transactions consume existing UTXOs and create new ones, keeping the ledger lean. Ethereum uses account-based ledgers that store persistent state, leading to much larger data requirements over time and making it increasingly difficult for individuals to sync and maintain full nodes independently.5. True interoperability differs fundamentally from bridging - Real blockchain interoperability means being able to send assets directly between different blockchains (like sending ADA to a Bitcoin wallet) without intermediaries. This is possible between UTXO-based chains like Cardano and Bitcoin. Bridges, in contrast, require centralized entities to listen for transactions on one chain and trigger corresponding actions on another, introducing centralization risks.6. Mesh networks need economic incentives for sustainable infrastructure - While technologies like LoRa and Meshtastic enable impressive decentralized communication networks, the challenge lies in incentivizing people to maintain the hardware infrastructure. Mike sees potential in combining blockchain-based rewards (like earning ADA for running mesh network nodes) with existing decentralized communication protocols to create self-sustaining networks.7. Mass adoption comes through abstraction, not education - Rather than trying to educate everyone about blockchain technology, mass adoption will happen when developers can build applications on decentralized infrastructure that users interact with seamlessly, without needing to understand the underlying blockchain mechanics. Users should be able to benefit from decentralization through well-designed interfaces that abstract away the complexity of wallets, addresses, and consensus mechanisms.

The Evolution of Faith: Mathew Blades on Rediscovering Joy In this episode, Mathew Blades shares his deeply personal journey with faith, from his church-filled childhood to a long period of disconnection, and ultimately, to a renewed sense of spirituality. After witnessing inconsistencies in those around him, Mathew Blades drifted from organized religion, exploring Buddhism and other philosophies in search of meaning. The loss of his parents and struggles with mental health sparked a gradual reconnection—first through conversations with his mom, then through the powerful draw of worship music. Attending a new church reignited his sense of joy and belonging, prompting new reflections on what it means to be “in the right car” in life. With candor and openness, Mathew Blades reminds listeners that faith is a lifelong, evolving process—and that wherever you are on your journey, you are not alone.

In this episode of The Oracle 19 Podcast, we address a dangerous and increasingly normalized practice: children being encouraged to call unfamiliar men “uncle” simply because they are present in the home.This conversation is not about attacking women or men. It is about child safety, boundaries, and adult responsibility. When titles are given too quickly, trust is forced — and children are conditioned to accept authority from people they do not truly know.We break down:Why familiar titles create false trustHow this practice confuses children about safetyThe psychological impact on kidsWhy boundaries protect everyoneWhat responsible parenting actually looks likeThis is a necessary discussion about protecting children, restoring boundaries, and putting kids first — always.

Jeff Colt is back, calling in from Carbondale with a mission to help rehabilitate the name “Jeff” one mountain town conversation at a time. We start with winter training reality in ski country, how to keep momentum when the days are short, the “subsistence” weeks that quietly save your season, and the eternal debate of pants, tights, and looking cool versus staying warm. From there it turns into a bigger conversation about identity, planning, uncertainty, and why the simplest answer sometimes is “we just have Jeff,” so we might as well make it a good one.Then we head straight into the good stuff, the White Mountains and the Mahoosuc Traverse, where “running” becomes scrambling, crawling, and three points of contact through the Mahoosuc Notch. Jeff breaks down the history and the legends (including Chris Getz and the steak stop), why style matters as much as speed in FKTs, and how different eras and ethics shape what we celebrate. We close with one of the most fun tangents of the whole Month of Jeff, what it is really like working in the AMC huts, from responsibility in dangerous weather to full-on blanket-folding skits, including Harry Potter and Frozen, all in service of three sacred rules: fold the blankets, pack out the trash, and tip the hut crew.Support our Sponsors: Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abChapters00:00 The Jeff Identity Crisis06:19 Winter Training in Mountain Towns09:18 Exploring the Mahusik Range12:37 The Legacy of Chris Getz15:27 Navigating the Mahusik Notch18:29 Style and FKT Philosophy22:00 The Challenge of Self-Supported FKTs24:56 Planning and Uncertainty in Adventure27:57 The Evolution of Trail Running Style42:22 Exploring Style in Trail Running44:16 The Debate on Supported vs. Unsupported47:43 The Evolution of Trail Running50:54 Killian Jornet: The Pinnacle of Trail Running54:43 Authenticity in Trail Running58:30 The Role of Creativity in Trail Running01:03:31 Life Lessons from Working in the HutsSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside
What if ancient Israel didn't start out believing in one God? In this groundbreaking episode, Oxford Professor Emeritus Dr. John Day reveals how archaeological evidence and biblical texts themselves show that early Israelites worshipped multiple deities from the Canaanite pantheon. With over 40 years of scholarship and doctorates from both Cambridge and Oxford, Dr. Day takes us on a fascinating journey through the religious landscape of ancient Canaan, where Yahweh was originally just one god among many, including El, Baal, and even goddesses like Asherah who was worshipped alongside Yahweh in the Jerusalem temple.Dr. Day traces the revolutionary transformation from polytheism to monotheism, showing how Yahweh absorbed attributes from other gods like El (becoming equated with him) while rejecting others like Baal. We explore how mythological creatures like Leviathan were borrowed from Canaanite sources, why "Israel" contains the name El rather than Yahweh, and how true monotheism didn't emerge until the Babylonian exile with Second Isaiah's radical declaration: "I am Yahweh, and there is no other." This conversation will challenge and deepen your understanding of how the biblical faith developed over centuries.In this episode you will learn:Why Deuteronomy 32:8-9 suggests Yahweh received Israel as his portion among 70 godsHow El and Yahweh were originally separate deities who later merged into oneThe shocking evidence that some Israelites worshipped Asherah as Yahweh's wifeWhy Baal was rejected while El was embraced in Israelite religionHow the seven-headed Leviathan from Canaanite mythology became part of Yahweh's identityThe difference between monolatry ("worship only one god") and monotheism ("only one god exists")King Josiah's radical 621 BC reformation that centralized worship in JerusalemWhy the Babylonian exile was the catalyst for absolute monotheismHow these Canaanite connections appear in the New Testament (Beelzebub, Revelation's seven-headed dragon)Why understanding this evolution enriches rather than threatens faithGuest's Work: Get Dr. Day's groundbreaking book "Yahweh and the Gods and Goddesses of Canaan": https://a.co/d/h6gCyuGAlso check out his extensive work on Genesis: "From Creation to Babel" and "From Creation to Abraham"Stay Connected with The Dig In Podcast: Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyova Follow all things Johnny Ova: https://linktr.ee/johnnyova Get Johnny's book "The Revelation Reset": https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H#BiblicalArchaeology #AncientNearEast #Monotheism #Canaanite #Yahweh #BiblicalStudies #ChristianHistory #OldTestament #HebrewBible #AncientIsrael #BiblicalScholarship #ChurchHistory #Theology #ReligiousStudies #DigInPodcastSupport the show

Understanding Fiduciary Duties in Modern Trust LawThis conversation delves into the intricate world of trusts and estates, focusing on the fiduciary duties that trustees must uphold, the evolution of the prudent investor rule, and the remedies available for breaches of trust. It emphasizes the importance of process over outcomes, the mandatory duty of loyalty, and the necessity for transparency in trust management. The discussion also highlights the complexities of commingled funds and the modern view of trusts as contracts, providing valuable insights for law students preparing for exams.In the realm of trusts and estates, fiduciary duties stand as the cornerstone of legal responsibility. These duties, often perceived as relics of a bygone era, are in fact dynamic principles that govern the modern landscape of trust law. At the heart of this discussion is the transformation from the traditional prudent man rule to the contemporary prudent investor rule, a shift that underscores the importance of portfolio diversification and risk management.The Evolution of Trust LawHistorically, trust law was rigid, focusing on the preservation of capital through conservative investments. However, the advent of modern portfolio theory in the 1970s revolutionized this approach. Legal scholars Langbein and Posner championed the idea that diversification is the only "free lunch" in finance, advocating for a holistic view of trust portfolios. This perspective laid the groundwork for the Uniform Prudent Investor Act (UPIA), which empowers trustees to embrace modern financial principles while maintaining a disciplined investment process.Core Fiduciary Duties: Loyalty and PrudenceThe duty of loyalty remains an unyielding firewall against conflicts of interest. Trustees must act solely in the interest of beneficiaries, avoiding any self-dealing or personal gain. Meanwhile, the duty of prudence demands active management and documentation of investment decisions, ensuring that trustees adhere to a rigorous standard of care.Remedies for Breach of DutyWhen fiduciary duties are breached, the law provides a robust framework for remedies. From surcharges that hold trustees personally liable for losses, to equitable remedies like constructive trusts, the goal is to restore the trust to its rightful state. These remedies not only compensate beneficiaries but also serve as a deterrent against future misconduct.The Future of Trust LawAs trust law continues to evolve, the tension between settlor autonomy and mandatory fiduciary duties will shape its future. The flexibility offered by the Uniform Trust Code (UTC) allows for sophisticated estate planning, yet it also raises questions about the balance between administrative power and fiduciary obligation. This ongoing dialogue will undoubtedly influence the development of trust law in the years to come.Subscribe now to stay informed about the latest developments in trust law and fiduciary duties.TakeawaysTrustees are judged by process, not just outcomes.The modern trust is a contractarian instrument.Fiduciary duties are default norms to protect beneficiaries.The prudent investor rule shifts focus from individual assets to overall portfolio.Diversification is a mandatory duty for trustees.Self-dealing transactions are voidable regardless of fairness.Trustees must provide regular accountings to beneficiaries.Delegation of duties is allowed but with strict rules.Remedies aim for restoration, not just compensation.Understanding the contract nature of trusts enhances legal analysis.trusts, estates, fiduciary duties, prudent investor rule, duty of loyalty, remedies, trust law, legal analysis, estate planning, law school
India's coastal waters hold immense promise—and growing peril. In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, host Anish Banerjee speaks with Oishinee Chakraborty from the Kuddle Life Foundation, a young organization redefining marine conservation in Pondicherry through science, community collaboration, and artificial reefs.Oishinee introduces listeners to the Foundation's origins—founded in 2020 by Punit Dhandhania and Hans Dhandhania, who transformed a small circle of ocean enthusiasts into a leading grassroots force for marine ecology and biodiversity conservation. With limited institutions working on ocean protection in southern India, Kuddle Life fills a critical gap by creating local, science-driven projects that link marine ecosystems, coastal livelihoods, and sustainable development.At the heart of their work lies the artificial reef program—a groundbreaking effort to restore degraded marine ecosystems and revive marine biodiversity. Oishinee explains that space is the ocean's most limiting factor, and artificial reefs—built using eco-friendly materials like concrete and steel—mimic the natural hard surfaces that corals, sponges, and fish larvae need to attach, grow, and form thriving underwater communities. These structures replicate some functions of natural coral reefs, acting as catalysts for marine biodiversity management and ecosystem recovery.The process of building an artificial reef begins with community engagement. Fisherfolk are invited to share local ecological knowledge and help identify suitable sites for reef deployment. Scientists then assess seabed topography, water quality, and existing biodiversity before designing reef modules—each over 500 kg and a meter tall. Local divers and fishermen help deploy the structures less than five kilometers offshore, making the effort both participatory and empowering.Monitoring continues for years, as reefs mature and attract a diversity of marine wildlife. In Pondicherry, Kuddle Life has recorded remarkable results: a 20% rise in dissolved oxygen, increased chlorophyll levels, and nearly a fourfold growth in fish abundance. For local fishers, incomes have doubled—from ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 per day—while fuel costs have halved because fishing now occurs closer to shore. These outcomes highlight how marine biodiversity conservation can drive both ecological and economic resilience.Globally, artificial reefs have become vital tools for restoring marine ecosystems damaged by climate change, overfishing, and pollution. Yet, as Oishinee reminds us, nothing can replace natural coral reefs. Artificial structures can only supplement lost habitat, not substitute for nature's complexity. Still, by reviving degraded areas and promoting sustainable fishing, these reefs help maintain ocean productivity in a warming world.Beyond reef restoration, the Kuddle Life Foundation runs educational and research programs across India. Through marine litter surveys, bycatch reduction initiatives, dive training, and youth internships, the foundation is building a generation of ocean stewards. Its unique for-profit dive center reinvests earnings into conservation, while volunteers support marine ecology projects both underwater and onshore—from data analysis to biodiversity monitoring.Oishinee also discusses the challenges of sustaining NGO work in India—funding barriers, bureaucratic delays, and the slow pace of conservation impact. Yet, she finds hope in the growing public interest in marine biodiversity, particularly when students and non-biologists approach her asking how they can help. That curiosity, she believes, is the first step toward lasting ocean change.This episode reveals how grassroots innovation, science, and compassion are reshaping marine biodiversity hotspots along India's coast—proving that ocean recovery begins not just beneath the waves, but within communities themselves.#artificialreefs #marineecology #marineecosystems #marinebiodiversity #marineconservation #marinewildlife #marinebiodiversityhotspot #marinebiodiversityconservation #biodiversityconservation #biodiversity #biodiversitymanagementAbout the HostAnish Banerjee is an early career ecologist, with a MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London.

"They [monoclonal antibodies] are able to cause tumor cell death by binding to and blocking to necessary growth factor signaling pathways for tumor cell survival. That's going to be dependent on the target of the antibody, but I'll give an example of epidermal growth factor, or EGFR. This is overexpressed in several different kinds of cancers where activation of this growth factor increases the amount of proliferation and migration of cancer cells. So, if we bind to it and block to it, then that would help halt these pathways and stop cancer cell growth," Carissa Ganihong, PharmD, BCOP, oncology and bone marrow transplantation clinical pharmacist at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about monoclonal antibodies.

Highlights From This Episode "Prior to monoclonal antibodies, all we really had were these toxic chemotherapies or toxic radiation, so it was recognized how great it would be if we could have a treatment that was much more specific to the tumor cells and have agents that have less toxicities. These advancements in monoclonal antibody production began in the 1980s. ... Eventually, we had the first monoclonal antibody that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an oncologic indication, rituximab." TS 4:14 "Nowadays, we do have treatments that are also considered tumor-agnostic. This is when a patient has a certain biomarker, then that treatment can be given and FDA approval was given, regardless what type of tumor the patient has. We typically see these kinds of tumor-agnostic therapies more so in patients who have recurrent or advanced diseases in solid tumors. One monoclonal antibody example that comes to mind is dostarlimab. That's a checkpoint inhibitor that's approved for patients who are deficient in mismatch repair mechanism." TS 23:48 "Our immune system constantly has this surveillance system and it's able to recognize foreign pathogens, abnormal cells, and even precancerous cells. And they're able to eliminate them before they become cancerous. But on the flip side, one of the regulatory mechanisms that we have so our immune system doesn't attack itself is the presence of checkpoints. When these checkpoints bind to their ligands, this can then act as an off switch so that, again, our immune system is not going to attack itself. But then the tumor cells can take advantage of this and actually use this mechanism to evade the immune system. So, when we're giving a checkpoint inhibitor, now we're removing that off switch. As a consequence, common adverse effects can include things like immune mediated adverse events. These most commonly affect the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and liver. Essentially, this can cause any '-itis' you can think of." TS 26:36 "Looking at strategies to prevent infusion reactions, one example is the use of premedication. If premedication is recommended, this typically includes any combination of antipyretics, which is typically acetaminophen. Antihistamine, which is typically an H1 antagonist like diphenhydramine. Although, there could be cases where we want to substitute this agent because maybe the patient has been tolerating therapy okay, and they're having a lot of side effects. So, we might use a second-generation antihistamine in some cases. The premedication may be given with or without some kind of steroid, whether that's methylprednisolone, hydrocortisone, or dexamethasone." TS 29:53 "We tend to think of monoclonal antibody usage to be primary oncology, but that's not really the case. The first monoclonal antibodies that were developed were not for oncologic indications, they were for transplant indication for cardiac indication. So, they're really diversely utilized across all specialties and medicines. We have monoclonal antibodies for hyperlipidemia, for neurology, for rheumatology, so the uses are so very expansive across all specialties." TS 41:01
We’re diving deep into the First VIsion accounts with Historian Dan Vogel. He offers a deep dive into the historical developments of early Mormonism, challenging both critics and believers to look closer at the documents. What if Joseph Smith was neither a simple con man nor a traditional prophet, but something more complex? https://youtu.be/uVVJcgmyUKA Don't miss our other conversations on the First Vision: https://gospeltangents.com/mormon_history/first-vision/ Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved “Pious Fraud” Theory Vogel describes himself as a “moderate” critic who seeks the most charitable view of Joseph Smith that a non-believer can hold. He proposes the theory of “pious fraud,” viewing Smith as an “inspired pseudepigraphist”. In this framework, Smith believed he was genuinely called by God to teach true doctrine but used intentional deception—such as the physical gold plates—to provide “evidence” that would make it harder for others to reject his message. Vogel compares this to a faith healer who uses suggestion or minor “tricks” to raise an audience’s faith level so that they are prepared to receive what they believe are real miracles. For Smith, the “greater good” was the salvation of his followers and the conversion of his own family. Evolution of the First Vision One of the most significant points of Vogel's research is the evolution of the First Vision narrative. He highlights that the earliest recorded account from 1832 is markedly different from the canonized 1838 version. The 1832 Account: This version mentions only one personage (Jesus) and focuses on Smith's personal remission of sins. There is no mention of a revival or a command to stay away from all churches; rather, Smith had already concluded the churches were wrong by the age of 12. The 1838 Account: This version, written during a time of intense persecution in Missouri, includes the 1820 revival and a mandate that all other creeds were an “abomination”. Vogel argues that the 1820 date for the revival is anachronistic, noting that historical records place the great Palmyra revival in 1824–25. He suggests Smith moved the event back in his history to transform a personal “born-again” experience into a foundational event for the entire Church. Priesthood and the “Chain of Ordinations” Angelic ordinations were likely a later development. Vogel asserts that early on, authority was understood as a direct command from God through a seer stone or revelation, rather than the laying on of hands by angels. It wasn’t until around 1834–35 that detailed stories of John the Baptist and Peter, James, and John appeared in the records. Vogel posits these stories were introduced to solidify Joseph Smith's authority against internal challengers and to create a formal “chain of ordinations” that was harder to break. Theological Shifts: From One God to Three Vogel tracks a clear evolution in Smith’s theology regarding the nature of God: Modalism: The Book of Mormon reflects a view where Jesus is both the Father and the Son. Bi-theism/Trinitarianism: The Lectures on Faith (1835) describe God as a personage of spirit and the Son as a personage of tabernacle. Physical Personages: Only later, in the Nauvoo period, did Smith teach that both the Father and the Son have physical bodies of flesh and bone. We'll dive deeper into all 4 First Vision narratives.

Discover Lafayette welcomes a true living legend of service to Acadiana: Dr. Mary B. Neiheisel. Dr. Neiheisel was the 2017 recipient of the prestigious Lafayette Civic Cup, one of the highest honors for civic service in our community. Her journey in Lafayette began in 1966, when she started teaching at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now UL Lafayette), launching 59 years of impact in education, healthcare, and community leadership. With quiet determination, Dr. Neiheisel helped build UL Lafayette's Nurse Practitioner Program, serving as its first coordinator and director and laying the foundation for graduate nursing education across the region. Beyond academia, her heart for service shines through her long-standing work at Faith House of Acadiana, where she serves as a nurse practitioner and advocate for survivors of domestic violence. Her legacy of compassion is now honored through the Mary B. Neiheisel Patron of Hope Award, created in her name to recognize extraordinary servant leadership in our community. From South Texas to Lafayette “I grew up in a very small town in South Texas, about 40 miles from San Antonio, called Stockdale.” Dr. Neiheisel traces her path into nursing back to her mother’s influence. “My mother always said that she concentrated on me being a nurse when she was pregnant. She said it was implanted. Consequently, she bought me the Cherry Ames nursing books when I was very young. Any medical shows on TV? We watched them. My mother started out to be a nurse, but she wanted to get married. And in those days, they did not allow the nurses to be married. So I think, you know, it was just her wish on me.” Dr. Neiheisel received her early education in San Antonio, completing her baccalaureate degree at the University of the Incarnate Word before moving to Austin and later earning her master's degree at the University of Colorado in 1965. She shares how she met her husband, Richard Neiheisel, then a USL history professor, and how that connection ultimately brought her to Lafayette in 1966. USL in the 1960s Reflecting on her early years on campus, Dr. Neiheisel recalls the realities of nursing education at the time: “We were actually in a condemned building.” She describes a small campus, modest facilities, and close-knit classes, noting how both the university and its nursing program have evolved into institutions that are now nationally known. Answering the Call to Teach Dr. Neiheisel explains what drew her to nursing education: “I felt like there was a real need for more faculty, more teachers in nursing, to help students learn the things that would be best in caring for their patients.” She speaks candidly about advocating for nursing education in what was largely a male-dominated academic environment, addressing disparities in pay and recognition while helping shape curriculum, meet state board standards, and recruit new faculty. “In 1984, Acadian Ambulance came to our college to ask about starting an EMT program in our college. And I had worked some in emergency room. Not that much, but I had actually taught some emergency room classes. So I was asked to work with Acadian Ambulance on that program. That was a great experience, Acadian Ambulance is really the business model. They knew what they wanted, and we put this together and then we needed a coordinator for that program in our college. Since I had been working with it, the dean asked me if I would be the coordinator of that program. And I said, no, I’m waiting for the graduate program. And she kind of looked at me like, you’re dreaming. But we continued to talk about our graduate program, and probably it was 1988, we actually were given permission to open our nursing graduate program, and I was offered the position of the first graduate nursing coordinator, which that was really exciting. Building the Nurse Practitioner Program Inspired by Dr. Loretta Ford, whom she calls “the mother of nurse practitioners,” Dr. Neiheisel carried a long-held vision for advanced nursing practice. Dr. Loretta Ford, known as “The Mother of the Nurse Practitioner Program, was a profound influence on Mary Neiheisel. Dr. Neiheisel says, “The year that I graduated with my master’s degree, Dr. Loretta Ford, who is considered the mother of nurse practitioners, the superwoman of nurse practitioners, actually came to our class and told us about the nurse practitioner program that she was starting, and she was a pediatric nurse. So it would be a pediatric nurse practitioner program. I was fascinated by the description that she gave for nurse practitioners and the independence that they would have and the way that they would be able to help patients, help people, help the population, not only in illness but in health, to maintain their health, to prevent disease. And I continued to kind of follow Dr. Ford and read what she was doing and seeing these programs opened. And she did start her program at the University of Colorado. She had six nurse practitioner students that year. There was, again, a lot of opposition to another role for nurses, but there was also a lot of support. She went on a national news. She went all over the country talking about the nurse practitioner program. She went from the University of Colorado to New York, started nurse practitioner programs there. And by that time they were really spreading across the country. In 1988, we finally were able to start our graduate nursing program at USL.” She describes the early challenges, resistance from some physicians, and the persistence required to establish the program. Dr. Neiheisel went back to school herself to become a family nurse practitioner, helping launch the nurse practitioner track and graduating the program's first students in 1995. “It wasn't long before the physicians were employing the nurse practitioners, and now they're employed in clinics and hospitals.” High Standards and Lasting Impact Addressing her reputation as a demanding instructor, Dr. Neiheisel reflects: “I guess I did have high expectations knowing that one day I was going to need their assistance, perhaps played a role in it.” She speaks with pride about her students' success and the responsibility of preparing nurses to be confident, capable, and compassionate professionals. The Evolution of Nursing From glass medicine cups and manual dosage calculations to electronic health records and patient portals, Dr. Neiheisel walks through six decades of change: “Technology has changed things in many ways… but we have lost some of that more personal touch.” She noted that nurse practitioners often help bridge that gap by spending more time with patients and answering their questions. Retirement — and Staying Connected Though she recently retired, Dr. Neiheisel emphasizes that she remains deeply connected to both nursing and the university: “It's not like a total separation. I'm still very proud of our university and my years there.” She continues part-time work at Faith House, attends concerts on campus, and remains engaged with the humanities and music communities. A Life of Civic and Cultural Service Dr. Neiheisel reflects on decades of civic involvement, including United Way of Acadiana, Rotary Club of Lafayette, the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana, Acadiana Center for the Arts, Zonta International, Foundation for Wellness, and the Lafayette Public Library Foundation. Of all her commitments, she says simply: “Faith House is my love.” She shares candidly about learning the realities of domestic violence, supporting women and children, fundraising for shelter operations, and recognizing community leaders through the Mary B. Neiheisel Patron of Hope Award. Named in honor of Dr. Mary B. Neiheisel, the award celebrates those who have gone above and beyond in their support of Faith House and its mission. Each year, the Patron of Hope Award will be presented to an individual who mirrors Dr. Neiheisel's enduring passion for advocacy, service, and hope, Teaching, Challenges, and Why She Stayed On the most rewarding part of teaching: “Meeting students is a blessing, watching them learn. That ‘aha' moment is just so rewarding.” On the greatest challenge of teaching: “Keeping up. It seems like it's changing every five minutes.” And on why she chose to build her life in Lafayette: “The people. The atmosphere, the culture. I feel like I have several Louisiana families.” Life Beyond the Classroom In closing, Dr. Neiheisel shared her love of music, reading, travel, and the arts, along with a lighthearted story about an unsuccessful tomato garden that led her to grow zinnias instead. She speaks fondly of trips to Colorado, visiting her grandchild in Boston, and appreciating both travel and home.

X & Y On The Fly - Dating Podcast | Love | Sex | Relationships
Dating and relationship advice has gone through significant changes over the last 20 years. Some of it has been good and necessary evolution, some of it downright detrimental and counter-productive. As X & Y Communications marks its 20th anniversary, we look back on the good, the bad and the ugly out there over the years since we opened our doors. First of all, what was up with men having an entire network for getting better with women back in 2005, while women pretty much only had Cosmo articles? And what happened to that "underground society of pickup artists"? What did it quietly turn into...without men even realizing it? As for women, what weird development really established a whole new world of dating advice for them? And what marketing tactic in particular revolutionized all dating advice online...before eventually setting us all back big-time? Whatever happened to all that new-agey dating advice, and the "gurus" who promoted it? Why is so much of the current "dating advice" nothing more that pure clickbait? How did text messaging, social media, dating apps, "toxic masculinity", and the #MeToo movement all play a role in the dating and relationship advice we've been given? And how have Covid and AI affected the whole mix? How have Emily and I ourselves flexed and adapted to change over the years?

In this reflection, I explore why longevity in this business requires genuinely loving the "mundane" work—plotting charts, reading research, and tinkering with data—rather than just grinding for a paycheck. I draw parallels between my trading journey and starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in my 40s: you don't have to be the most athletic or the fastest to win; you just have to love the puzzle enough to keep showing up.Key Topics:The "Grind" Fallacy: Why survival is impossible if you don't actually enjoy the game itself.Evolution of Style: Moving away from high-stress, noisy futures trading toward longer-term swing and position trades that allow for cleaner execution.Technical Strategy: How I'm using AI to build custom indicators (like adapted McClellan summation indices) and focusing heavily on improving exits—learning to sell into euphoria rather than just focusing on the buy.2026 Resolution: Ruthless simplification. Cutting out the "energy vampires" (short-term noise) to double down on the strategies that actually work for my personality.

In this solo episode of The SuperLife Podcast, Darin Olien dives deep into the true biology of energy—not motivation, not stimulants, not willpower, but the mitochondria themselves. Inspired by a groundbreaking conversation between Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Martin Picard, Darin reframes energy as an emergent property of how we live, not just what we eat or how much we sleep. This episode explores how mitochondria act as signal translators, listening to your food, stress, sleep, movement, emotions, purpose, and environment—and turning those signals into either vitality or depletion. Darin connects cutting-edge mitochondrial science with real-world practices around recovery, meaningful stress, consistency, connection, and alignment, showing how true longevity and resilience are built at the cellular level.

Send us a textWhat if the real reason you feel stuck is not motivation, talent, or discipline, but your ability to focus?In this episode, we break down why unbreakable focus is the skill separating people who move forward from those who stay stuck. We explain how distraction, poor sleep, and weak attention habits quietly sabotage your goals, relationships, and confidence. We reframe focus as a trainable life skill, not a personality trait, and show why mastering it changes everything. If you want a future that looks different than your present, this episode is your starting line.Here are the related episodes, each one builds on today's conversation:#425 | Are You Actually Protecting Your Mental Health? - https://apple.co/4s9AMR6#447 | The Dark Side of Consistency: When Sticking to the Plan Holds You Back - https://apple.co/4pPMjmX #462 | How to Set Up Your Workspace for Safety & Success - https://apple.co/48TAoP9 Evolve Together Experiences:
