California College of the Arts' announcement last week that it would close by the end of the next academic year stunned many in the Bay Area arts community. Nashville-based Vanderbilt University plans to open a satellite location in CCA's San Francisco campus and also bought a shuttered site in Oakland. We dig into the deal and talk about what the demise of the 120 year-old CCA and expansion of a new university means for the Bay Area,  arts in our region, and higher education overall. Guests: Laura Waxmann, reporter, San Francisco Chronicle Sarah Hotchkiss, senior associate editor, KQED Arts and Culture Jeff Selingo, author, "Who Gets In & Why: A Year Inside College Admissions," "There is Life After College" and "College (Un)Bound: The Future of Higher Education and What It Means for Students" Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Eric Malzone sits down with Amber Burke, COO of Burn Bootcamp, for a deep, candid conversation on what it really takes to scale a boutique fitness franchise without losing its soul.

Welcome to Classic Skeptic Metaphysicians! We're re-releasing some of our back catalog so that these gems can be re-discovered!This week: Consciousness Expansion & Heart Opening with Cacao Plant MedicineWhat if one of the most powerful tools for spiritual awakening and consciousness expansion has been hiding in plain sight—inside something you've already consumed most of your life? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with cacao ceremonialist and spiritual teacher Judy Machado to explore the ancient, heart-opening intelligence of ceremonial cacao—a plant medicine used for thousands of years to support spiritual growth, emotional healing, and expanded awareness. Unlike psychedelics often associated with modern plant medicine conversations, cacao offers a gentle, grounded pathway into higher consciousness. Judy explains how cacao works with the heart rather than overriding the mind—helping release emotional blockages, soften limiting beliefs, and reconnect us with our soul purpose through presence, intention, and ritual. Together, they explore:How cacao functions as a non-psychedelic plant medicine for awakening and emotional clarityThe difference between ceremonial cacao and commercial chocolate (and why intention matters)Why cacao is often called a “heart opener” rather than a hallucinogenHow ritual and reverence activate cacao's energy healing propertiesThe role cacao can play in intuition development, creativity, and manifestationWhy cacao ceremonies are re-emerging in modern spirituality—and what to look for ethicallyHow working with plant intelligence mirrors larger truths about consciousness, unity, and spiritual remembranceThis conversation also touches on broader themes of modern spirituality, free will, and the idea that spiritual teachers—whether human or plant-based—don't give us answers… they help us remember what we already are. If you're curious about plant medicine but hesitant about altered states… If you're navigating your own spiritual awakening and looking for a grounded entry point… Or if you're seeking a heart-centered practice that supports awareness without leaving your body… This episode may quietly change how you think about chocolate forever.

He also discusses the Athletics baseball team's temporary move to Sacramento and the legal complications regarding their team name as they prepare for a permanent move to Las Vegas in 2028. NUMBER 1BIG SUR REOPENS AND COPPER THEFT PLAGUES CALIFORNIA Colleague Jeff Bliss. Highway 1 in Big Sur has reopened after landslide repairs featuring new concrete canopies to protect the road. Bliss also details how copper thieves have crippled infrastructure in Sacramento and Los Angeles, contributing to broader political dissatisfaction with Governor Gavin Newsom regarding crime and the state's management. NUMBER 2FEDERAL IMMUNITY AND THE ICE SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS Colleague Professor Richard Epstein. Professor Richard Epstein analyzes the legal battle over whether ICE agents have immunity from state prosecution following a fatal shooting in Minneapolis. He explains the complexities of absolute versus qualified immunity, arguing that the agents' aggressive conduct might weaken their defense against state charges in this specific instance. NUMBER 3SUPREME COURT LIKELY TO STRIKE DOWN TRUMP TARIFFS Colleague Professor Richard Epstein. Epstein predicts the Supreme Court will invalidate the Trump administration's emergency tariffs, arguing there is no statutory basis for the trade imbalances cited as justification. He anticipates a fractured decision where a centrist block of justices joins liberals to rule that the executive branch exceeded its authority. NUMBER 4MEXICO'S ALIGNMENT WITH DICTATORS AND INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURES Colleague Mary Anastasia O'Grady. Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's ideological support for the Cuban and Venezuelan regimes, including increased oil shipments to Havana. She also details a recent train derailment on Mexico's interoceanic line, attributing the failure to secrecy and no-bid contracts managed by the military. NUMBER 5ITALY STABILIZES PENSION COSTS AND CELEBRATES PASTA TARIFF CUTS Colleague Lorenzo Fiori. Lorenzo Fiori reports that despite high pension costs, Italy's economic reforms under Prime Minister Meloni have stabilized the system by increasing employment. Fiori notes that Italy's deficit and inflation have dropped significantly, and he celebrates the US decision to slash tariffs on Italian pasta imports. NUMBER 6SPACE STATION RETURNS, NUCLEAR MOON PLANS, AND BOEING STRUGGLES Colleague Bob Zimmerman. Bob Zimmerman discusses the early return of an ISS crew due to a medical issue and expresses skepticism about NASA's plan for a lunar nuclear reactor by 2030. He also highlights that the Space Force is shifting launches from ULA to SpaceX due to reliability concerns. NUMBER 7GLOBAL SPACE FAILURES AND CHINA'S REUSABLE CRAFT CLAIMS Colleague Bob Zimmerman. Zimmerman analyzes a failed Indian rocket launch that lost multiple payloads, though a Spanish prototype survived. He also critiques the European Space Agency for delays in debris removal missions and casts doubt on China's claims regarding a "new" reusable spacecraft, suggesting it relies on older suborbital technology. NUMBER 8DATA CENTERS STRAIN THE ELECTRICAL GRID Colleague Henry Sokolski. Henry Sokolski discusses the surging demand for electricity driven by AI data centers and the White House's proposal to auction power access. He argues that tech companies should finance their own off-grid generation, such as nuclear or gas, rather than forcing ratepayers to subsidize new transmission infrastructure. NUMBER 9ELON MUSK AND THE GOLDEN DOME DEFENSE PROPOSAL Colleague Henry Sokolski. Sokolski evaluates Elon Musk's proposal to create a "Golden Dome" missile defense system for the US. While the concept involves space-based sensors, Sokolski notes concerns regarding monopoly power, the reliance on a single contractor for national security, and the undefined costs of ground-based interceptors. NUMBER 10ECONOMIC LIBERTY AND THE LABOR MARKET IN THE AGE OF AI Colleague Kevin Frazier. Kevin Frazier explores how AI is reshaping the economy, noting that liberal arts graduates may be better positioned than STEM majors to handle new information synthesis. He advises legislators to focus on job creation and a fluid labor market rather than trying to protect obsolete professions through regulation. NUMBER 11EDUCATION REFORM AND THE AVOIDANCE OF A FEDERAL AI DEPARTMENT Colleague Kevin Frazier. Frazier argues for updating education, starting with teacher training in elementary schools and vocational partnerships in high schools, to prepare students for an AI future. He advises against creating a federal Department of AI, suggesting society should adapt to it as advanced computing rather than a unique threat. NUMBER 12SOVIET UNION'S SECRET 1972 LUNAR BASE AMBITIONS AND THE N1 ROCKET FAILURE Colleague Anatoli Zak, Publisher of RussianSpaceWeb.com. Anatoli Zak explains that in 1972, the Soviet Union pursued the L3M project to establish a permanent lunar base, refusing to concede the moon race immediately. However, repeated failures of the N1 rocket and the financial strain of competing with the US Space Shuttle eventually forced the program's cancellation. NUMBER 13ISS LAUNCHPAD ACCIDENT AND RUSSIA'S NUCLEAR ROLE IN CHINESE MOON BASE Colleague Anatoli Zak, Publisher of RussianSpaceWeb.com. A launchpad collapse has halted Russian cargo missions to the ISS, endangering the propellant supply required for critical orbit maintenance. Zak also details Russia's attempt to join China's lunar ambitions, with the Kurchatov Institute developing a nuclear reactor to provide electricity for a future Chinese moon base. NUMBER 14PERU NAMED NON-NATO PARTNER AS US COUNTERS CHINESE INFLUENCE Colleague Oscar Sumar, Deputy Vice Chancellor at Universidad Científica del Sur. Oscar Sumar discusses Peru's designation as a US non-NATO partner, a move designed to counter Chinese geopolitical expansion through infrastructure like the Chancay port. Sumar warns that while cultural ties are strong, the Chinese Communist Party poses a threat to Peru's democratic stability and political transparency. NUMBER 15ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN INDICATORS AND SECRECY AT THE WHITE HOUSE Colleague Jim McTague, Former Washington Editor of Barron's. Jim McTague observes unusually light traffic and retail activity in Washington, D.C. and Lancaster, signaling a potential economic slowdown.

If nervous system tools help… why do you keep needing them?Why does regulation feel temporary? Why do you calm down — only to feel activated again a few hours later? Why does it feel like you're constantly managing your nervous system just to get through the day?This episode answers that question clearly and compassionately.Because tools don't change your baseline. Capacity does.In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between regulating in the moment and expanding your nervous system's capacity, why high-achieving women often feel like regulation never “sticks,” and what's actually required to widen your window of tolerance over time.In this episode, you'll learn:Why needing frequent regulation tools doesn't mean you're doing anything wrongThe difference between momentary regulation and long-term capacity expansionHow allostatic load quietly narrows your window of toleranceWhy insight and self-awareness alone don't change nervous system patternsHow productivity and busyness can function as stress coping strategiesWhat foundational habits actually build capacity instead of just managing symptomsThis episode is for you if you're highly self-aware, using nervous system tools regularly, and still feel like stress comes back faster than you'd like.If you're tired of constantly managing your nervous system and want to understand how to change your baseline — not just calm yourself down — this conversation will help you see what's missing, and what actually moves the work forward.-- → Learn more and join Burnout Recovery Blueprint

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has finalized the 2026 Outpatient Perspective Payment System (OPPS) rule, with most policies taking effect on January 1, 2026. Jenna Stern, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy at Vizient, joins host Carolyn Liptak, Pharmacy Executive Director in Vizient's Center for Pharmacy Practice Excellence, to discuss key updates to payment policies, payment rates, and quality provisions affecting Medicare beneficiaries receiving care in hospital outpatient departments and ambulatory surgical centers.   Guest speaker:    Jenna Stern Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy Vizient Host:   Carolyn Liptak, MBA, RPh  Pharmacy Executive Director Vizient  Verified Rx Host   Show Notes: 00:05 — Introduction Announcer welcomes listeners to VerifiedRx. Host Carolyn Liptak, Pharmacy Executive Director at Vizient, introduces the episode focus: the 2026 CMS Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Final Rule. Guest: Jenna Stern, VP of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy at Vizient.   01:12 — Overview of the OPPS Final Rule OPPS sets Medicare payment for most hospital outpatient services. Published annually (typically November), effective January 1. Covers payment rates, policies, quality programs, and compliance requirements. Note: CMS delayed enforcement of hospital price transparency requirements until April 1, 2026.   01:34 — Key Takeaways From the 2026 Final Rule Jenna's high-level insights: Hospitals will continue facing financial pressure in 2026. Modest payment rate increase combined with reimbursement-reducing policies. Expansion of site-neutral payment policies will be particularly impactful. Rule reflects emerging administration priorities shaping future policy.   02:21 — OPPS Payment Rate Update for 2026 CMS finalized a 2.6% OPPS schedule increase factor for hospitals meeting quality reporting requirements.   02:40 — What the 2.6% Increase means Based on: 3% market basket update –0.7% productivity adjustment Results in a modest net increase. Slightly better than the proposed 2.4% increase, though still viewed as inadequate. CMS estimates $8 billion increase in total OPPS payments compared to 2025.   03:37 — 340B Remedy Offset: Background From 2018–2022, CMS paid for 340B drugs at ASP –22.5%. Prior Supreme Court decision from 2022 found that CMS lacked authority to vary rates as finalized in prior rulemaking (e.g., without using drug acquisition cost surveys to inform policy).   04:13 — 340B Remedy Offset in the 2026 Final Rule CMS considered increasing the remedy offset from 0.5% to 2%. Stakeholders strongly opposed the increase due to hospital financial strain.   05:10 — Final Outcome CMS retained the 0.5% offset for 2026. CMS signaled that larger offsets may be proposed for 2027. This marks the first year the remedy offset takes effect,   06:00 — Site-Neutral Payment Policy: What It Is Concept: same service = same payment, regardless of site of care. Hospital concern: policy reduces hospital reimbursement without accounting for site of care differences, patient acuity, overhead, or service complexity.   06:15 — Site-Neutral Expansion in the 2026 Rule CMS expanded site-neutral payment to include drug administration services at excepted off-campus provider-based departments.   07:08 — Financial Impact Reimbursement aligns with Physician Fee Schedule rates. CMS estimates $290 million reduction in outpatient spending for 2026. $220 million of savings accrue directly to Medicare. Not implemented in a budget-neutral manner.   08:14 — Non-Opioid Pain Management Payments Temporary additional payments began January 1, 2025. Authorized under the NO PAIN Act (Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023).   08:28 — What's New for 2026 CMS finalized the renewal of: 5 drugs 13 medical devices eligible for separate payment in HOPD and ASC settings. Per statue, payments available through December 31, 2027.   09:32 — Process Improvements CMS will allow more frequent consideration of new qualifying products (not limited to annual updates). Quality criteria unchanged; timing flexibility added. CMS released guidance on how stakeholders can engage for inclusion.   10:58 — OPPS Drug Acquisition Cost Survey CMS finalized plans to survey hospitals on acquisition costs for separately payable OPPS drugs.   11:21 — Why CMS Is Advancing the Survey Addresses Supreme Court requirements from prior 340B litigation. Aligns with White House Executive Order on lowering drug prices. Positions CMS to use survey data for 2027 rulemaking.   12:47 — OPPS Packaging Thresholds for 2026 Drugs and biologics: Threshold remains at $140. Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals: Increased to $655 (from $630). Products below thresholds retain Status Indicator “N” (packaged payment).   13:26 — Why Billing Packaged Drugs Still Matters Even though not separately payable, hospitals must bill for packaged drugs. Billing data feeds cost reports used to calculate future bundled payments. Failure to bill can result in inaccurately low reimbursement.   14:14 — Elimination of the Inpatient-Only (IPO) List CMS finalized a three-year transition to eliminate the IPO list by January 1, 2029.   14:32 — Why This Change Is Significant IPO list historically ensured certain services were provided inpatient only. CMS emphasizes provider judgment in determining site of care. Raises concerns about: Patient safety Payer coverage changes Pressure to move services outpatient   16:28 — ASC Covered Procedure List Expansion CMS expanded the ASC Covered Procedure List. Enables more Medicare covered services to be performed in the ASC settings.   16:48 — Price Transparency: Still a Priority No major overhaul, but continued refinement. CMS exploring new uses of price transparency data beyond patient comparison.   17:46 — Most Critical Policies to Watch Jenna highlights: Modest OPPS payment increase Site-neutral payment expansion 340B remedy offset Drug acquisition cost survey Broader regulatory activity beyond OPPS   18:43 — Available Vizient Resources OPPS Final Rule Summary Government Relations & Public Policy Summaries  Advocacy   19:20 — Closing Carolyn thanks Jenna for her insights.

AJ and Johnny sit down with Zack Kass, AI futurist and author of The Next Renaissance: AI and the Expansion of Human Potential, to explore how artificial intelligence will reshape identity, purpose, and meaning. Zack breaks down why our fear of AI isn't really about machines; it's about identity displacement. They dive deep into how creativity, purpose, and work evolve when technology becomes capable of doing almost everything. From artists confronting AI-generated art to professionals watching automation change their industries, Zack explains why humanity's next great challenge isn't survival, it's spiritual.

Have you ever wondered why Human Design can feel life-changing at first, but confusing or even frustrating as time goes on?  In this episode, Nicole takes a step back to look at the entire Human Design journey — not just what you learn at the beginning, but how your relationship with the system evolves over time and why results deepen with lived experience. No matter where you are on your path, this episode helps you orient yourself and see what's unfolding next. Nicole breaks down the four stages of evolution and expansion with Human Design, explaining the patterns she's seen after years of working with thousands of charts and clients. She shares why early stages often come with obsession, overthinking, or searching for answers in the chart — and why so many people get stuck before experiencing real, embodied change. You'll also hear how Human Design reveals the difference between forcing and allowing, and how contraction shows up in both life and business. Nicole explains why awareness alone isn't enough, the role deconditioning plays in sustainable growth, and what actually shifts when your energy starts working for you instead of against you. If you've ever felt like Human Design promised more than you're currently experiencing — or if it's already changing your life and you want to understand why — this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and a grounded perspective on what this journey really looks like over time.

In this Omni Talk Retail episode, recorded live from NRF 2026 in the Vusion podcast studio, Greg Cathey, SVP of Digital Fulfillment Transformation at Walmart, reveals how customer demand is driving the company's massive drone delivery expansion to 270+ stores coast-to-coast and why everyone, not just one demographic, is using the service.
