From the Mountains to the Mission: Commander J.D. Donaldson & Captain Bradley Geary's Journey of Service and Sacrifice This week, Marcus and Melanie welcome Commander Jed “J.D.” Donaldson, and Captain Bradley Geary to the Team Never Quit Podcast. J.D Donaldson, a West Virginia native whose journey from small-town athlete to elite Navy SEAL leader is nothing short of remarkable. Raised in Hedgesville and shaped by strong family values and athletic discipline, J.D. earned a U.S. Naval Academy appointment and went on to win two national boxing championships before graduating with a degree in Physics (Oceanography). Selected for SEAL training alongside a small group of peers, J.D. would go on to serve in multiple SEAL Teams across global deployments, holding command positions at SEAL Team Eight and SEAL Team Four, and leading strategic operations in Africa with Special Operations Command. His time at the elite Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) marks the pinnacle of a career defined by leadership, courage, and brotherhood. Now, as Training and Facilities Manager at GBRS Group, J.D. continues to serve the veteran and first responder community, equipping them with the tools and training to thrive. In this episode, we explore how his experiences shaped his approach to leadership, resilience, family, and life after service. Captain Bradley Geary is a retired Navy SEAL officer with 24 years of distinguished service in Naval Special Warfare. A 2000 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and SEAL Qualification Training Class 234, he led elite teams across the globe—from SEAL Team Four to commanding SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team One. He most recently served as Commanding Officer of Naval Special Warfare Basic Training Command. Captain Geary holds a master's in Defense Analysis and has spent his career training, leading, and mentoring some of the most elite warriors in the world.

(32:12) • In the darkest moments of our careers, you'll find the funniest things (33:20) • There's this one young officer standing there, smiling ear to ear. I said “Yo dude, I just cancelled your Christmas break, they got you wet and sandy. Why are you smiling? [His response was] “This is everything I was waiting for, and everything I hoped it would be.” (35:59) • Press into the suffering. All of a sudden, it's not enjoyable, but it changes your mindset. (36:47) • [Marcus] McGraw had more fractures than he had legs. No quit in this dude. (47:18) • The guy next to me, Greg Klein, a huge Green Beret and Marine Force Recon. The instructor says “Klein, what're you doing here? You're Army Green Beret; you're Marine Force Recon. He's like “I thought I'd take a break.” (48:07) • Danny [Dietz] was probably the best pilot I've ever seen. He was amazing. (68:31) • We were in Chesapeake Bay, and I'm looking at the bearings. All of a sudden, I'm like “Hey! Danny!  We're like 90 degrees off course. What are you doing? Next thing I know, we bounce off the bottom. He had fallen asleep driving the STD. We had been out there so long that night. (68:52) • It comes back to Who's under the boat? Who's carrying their weight? Who's sacrificing for their teammates? And Danny [Dietz] was always that guy.

(80:25) • It was the first time that I'd lost anybody close, and I walked out to the gravel, looked up to the heavens and I got to thinking. He was probably one of the key elements of my success in my entire career. I looked up to the stars and thought: “Alright Lord, If I was up there and Mike was down here, what would I say to him?” I'd say: “Think well of me and get back to work.” 120:54) • I hadn't brushed my teeth in like 84 hours. (121:53) • Leonidus didn't choose the 300 [Spartans] because they were the best warriors. He chose them because they had the best women.

Episode 112 - Deacon Marty Brown has been a permanent deacon for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati for 13 years.  He currently serves the St Isidore the Farmer Family of Parishes and is the Facilities Manager at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in St Mary's, Ohio.  Prior to becoming a deacon, Marty worked in various fields - construction, welding, mechanics, groundskeeping, firefighting, as well as being a lifelong farmer.  He and his wife, Angie, have been married 40 years; they have 4 children and 12 grandchildren.Ben jumps off this interview episode hoping to soar to new heights of understanding, as Chad packs a parachute, taking every Catholic precaution as the co-host.  The two take a leap into this conversation and quickly find themselves drafting behind the momentum of their guest's story of faithfulness to God's will.  What were some of the dramatic ways that God helped Marty discover his calling to be a deacon?  How can putting your trust in the Holy Spirit enable you to see big and little choices as opportunities to serve God?  And how does the spirit of fear often undermine the discernment process?  Franz Reichelt Failed 1912 Eiffel Tower Jump

High Reliability, The Healthcare FM Podcast is brought to you by Gosselin/Martin Associates. Our show discusses the issues, challenges, and opportunities within the Facilities Management (FM) function.  In this episode of High Reliability,  we have excerpted an episode from the Healthcare Facilities Network. This YouTube Network, created by Gosselin/Martin Associates,   aims to increase awareness that the rewarding and stable career of healthcare facility management is open and available to all. However, an influx of new professionals is needed, from the trades to the management level. So in today's podcast, we speak about Filling the Pipeline. Filling the Pipeline was the genesis of the Healthcare Facilities Network:  To perform outreach and publicize that rewarding careers exist in Healthcare Facilities Management.  Our panel covers a great deal of ground, beginning with a simple question: Is the hiring process used in healthcare today able to meet the demands of the 2023 labor market? Their answers may surprise you. In the second part of this podcast, we look at internships and some challenges organizations face in attracting students.Our thanks to today's guests:CJ Brown, Women & Infants Hospital, Providence, RISteven Call, Ph.D., Washington State University, Pullman, WA Clay Ciolek, Facilities Manager at Providence Health & Services, Olympia, WA Lamar Davis, Shirley Ryan Ability Lab, Chicago, IL Christine Pirri, Bassett Healthcare, Cooperstown, NY Maryanne Richards, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Buzzards Bay, MA Nancy Vanasse, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Buzzards Bay, MA  @BassettNetwork @massachusettsmaritime @ShirleyRyanAbilityLab @HealthcareFacilitiesNetwork @carenewengland@ProvidenceVancouver @WSUPullman @providenceswedish@asheaha @IFMAGlobal @HealthcareFacilitiesNetworkCheck us out at https://gosselin-associates.com

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing a new organization: Epistea, published by Epistea on May 22, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary We are announcing a new organization called Epistea. Epistea supports projects in the space of existential security, epistemics, rationality, and effective altruism. Some projects we initiate and run ourselves, and some projects we support by providing infrastructure, know-how, staff, operations, or fiscal sponsorship. Our current projects are FIXED POINT, Prague Fall Season, and the Epistea Residency Program. We support ACS (Alignment of Complex Systems Research Group), PIBBSS (Principles of Intelligent Behavior in Biological and Social Systems), and HAAISS (Human Aligned AI Summer School). History and context Epistea was initially founded in 2019 as a rationality and epistemics research and education organization by Jan Kulveit and a small group of collaborators. They ran an experimental workshop on group rationality, the Epistea Summer Experiment in the summer of 2019 and were planning on organizing a series of rationality workshops in 2020. The pandemic paused plans to run workshops and most of the original staff have moved on to other projects. In 2022, Irena Kotíková was looking for an organization to fiscally sponsor her upcoming projects. Together with Jan, they decided to revamp Epistea as an umbrella organization for a wide range of projects related to epistemics and existential security, under Irena's leadership. What? Epistea is a service organization that creates, runs, and supports projects that help with clear thinking and scale-sensitive caring. We believe that actions in sensitive areas such as existential risk mitigation often follow from good epistemics, and we are particularly interested in supporting efforts in this direction. The core Epistea team is based in Prague, Czech Republic, and works primarily in person there, although we support projects worldwide. As we are based in continental Europe and in the EU, we are a good fit for projects located in the EU. We provide the following services: Fiscal sponsorship (managing payments, accounting, and overall finances) Administrative and operations support (booking travel, accommodation, reimbursements, applications, visas) Events organization and support (conferences, retreats, workshops) Ad hoc operations support We currently run the following projects: FIXED POINT Fixed Point is a community and coworking space situated in Prague. The space is optimized for intellectual work and interesting conversations but also prioritizes work-life balance. You can read more about FIXED POINT here. Prague Fall Season PFS is a new model for global movement building which we piloted in 2022. The goal of the Season is to have a high concentration of people and events, in a limited time, in one space, and working on a specific set of problems. This allows for better coordination and efficiency and creates more opportunities for people to collaborate, co-create and co-work on important projects together, possibly in a new location - different from their usual space. Part of PFS is a residency program. You can read more about the Prague Fall Season here. Additionally, we support: ACS - Alignment of Complex Systems Research Group PIBBSS - Principles of Intelligent Behavior in Biological and Social Systems HAAISS - Human Aligned AI Summer School Who? Irena Kotíková leads a team of 4 full-time staff and 4 contractors: Jana Meixnerová - Head of Programs, focus on the Prague Fall Season Viktorie Havlíčková - Head of Operations Martin Hrádela - Facilities Manager, focus on Fixed Point Jan Šrajhans - User Experience Specialist Karin Neumanová - Interior Designer Linh Dan Leová - Operations Associate Jiří Nádvorník - Special Projects František Drahota - Special Projects The team has a wide range of experience...

He has since moved to Paris where he manages the facilities at Swarovski across Europe. —Guest Quote“Our CEO says the project is king, the client is queen, and always the store is the castle. So we treat it as a castle. You wouldn't go to Disneyland if you have a castle that's falling apart and not painted very well with the wrong lighting, slippery stairs, you would have a bad experience in Disneyland. So it's not just about having a beautiful store, it's also making sure that the client will walk in the store and stop at every single square inches of the store. Every single, square inches will offer you a new environment, something new to look at.” - Morgan Seghin Time Stamps**(01:58) - Morgan's Journey **(06:41) - Facilities in Swarovski **(11:03) - Facilities within a luxury brand**(18:03) - The evolution of retail **(30:18) - How Swarovski prioritizes sustainability**(34:15) - Sid's final thoughtsSponsor:ServiceChannel brings you peace of mind through peak facilities performance.Rest easy knowing your locations are:Offering the best possible guest experienceLiving up to brand standardsOperating with minimal downtimeServiceChannel partners with more than 500 leading brands globally to provide visibility across operations, the flexibility to grow and adapt to consumer expectations, and accelerated performance from their asset fleet and service providers.

“Across the Veil” Sunday, November 6, 10:50 am, Worship Service Livestream This is the time of year of the Pagan celebration of Samhain, and the Christian (no doubt borrowed and adapted!) witness to All Souls and All Saints, and to the celebrations of Día De Los Muertos in Mexico and across Latin America. All of these community and religious ceremonies and sacred times begin with the Samhain idea that at this time of year the veil between the living and the dying is thinned. It is a season, therefore, for reaching across that veil and pulling those we have loved and lost, their spirit and their legacy, more intentionally into our world for a while. Rev.
