Dr. Kevin Mailo welcomes close friend Dr. Dimitre Ranev back to the podcast to share some practice lessons learned in the past months. Dimitre addresses the value of delegation to medical practice and for mental health. Physician Empowerment has touched on the topic of delegation before but Kevin believes hearing about a subject that is key to growth from different perspectives is a major factor in determining happiness. Delegation can be a challenge but both Dr. Mailo and Dr. Ranev believe it is incredibly valuable. Delegation, as defined, is the transferring of the responsibility of a task from oneself to somebody else. In studies of health professionals, doctors, and professionals in general, Dimitre found evidence of the advantages of delegating. What Dimitre and Kevin explore is how to delegate, which tasks to consider moving to somebody else, and vitally, who to delegate to. Building a trusted team is the path to being able to delegate with confidence. Having others contribute to getting tasks done increases available time and, by extension, revenue. But it also relieves stress, improves wellness, and allows a focus on the most valuable aspects of the work.–About Dr. Dimitre Ranev:Dr. Ranev is a duly qualified medical practitioner in the province of Ontario and Quebec. His primary practice is in Gatineau, Quebec. He currently specializes in sexual health, LGBTQ+ health, and fertility health. He also provides private consulting for Telus Health in preventative care. He has past experience with home and palliative care as well as Geriatric rehabilitation medicine at Gatineau Hospital. In Ontario, Dr. Ranev has past experience with home care, nursing home care, and student health. He has a special interest in Medical Education being the co-host for the Primary Medicine Podcast and holding a position of Faculty Lecturer at McGill University.__Interested in going further in your financial journey?

We want to hear from you! Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete our survey. Your feedback helps understand what you love about Democracy Decoded and how we can make it even better. To show our thanks, you'll be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $50 American Express gift card. We appreciate your time!----------------Campaign contribution limits are one of the few mechanisms in place to prevent wealthy special interests from spending unlimited money to rig the political system in their favor. But there are some states where it's just too easy to skirt around these limits and other states that actually don't have limits at all. In this episode of Democracy Decoded, host Simone Leeper highlights how without campaign contribution limits, the vast financial resources of special interests can outweigh the priorities of everyday citizens. Experts and advocates discuss the intricacies of the electoral playing field, and how to best protect the voter's right to elect candidates who truly represent their values. They highlight the work of grassroots coalitions and advocacy groups working together for fair and equitable campaign finance laws in states like Illinois and Oregon.Simone speaks with Alisa Kaplan, the Executive Director of Reform for Illinois, who illustrates how a provision in state law allows candidates to amass unlimited campaign contributions. Campaign Legal Center's founder and President Trevor Potter, and Patrick Llewellyn, Director of State Campaign Finance, offer insights into the broader landscape of states without contribution limits, and the importance of these laws in preserving the integrity of the democratic process. Simone also speaks with Kate Titus, the executive director of Common Cause Oregon, about a recent amendment in Oregon that introduced the possibility of contribution limits in the state, and the years of advocacy by voters that led to change.Host and Guests:Simone Leeper litigates a wide range of redistricting-related cases at CLC, challenging gerrymanders and advocating for election systems that guarantee all voters an equal opportunity to influence our democracy. Prior to arriving at CLC, Simone was a law clerk in the office of Senator Ed Markey and at the Library of Congress, Office of General Counsel. She received her J.D. cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 2019 and a bachelor's degree in political science from Columbia University in 2016.Alisa Kaplan is the Executive Director of Reform for Illinois. She joined the organization in 2018, drawn to its long history of fighting for campaign finance reform and against systemic corruption. As Executive Director, she leads RFI's policy development, advocacy, and educational initiatives and oversees operations. A Yale graduate with a J.D. and Ph.D. in Political Science from Northwestern University, Alisa brings expertise in law and the political process and a background in community organizing, grassroots activism, and nonprofit administration. She has been a Faculty Lecturer at Northwestern, teaching Constitutional Law, Civil Rights, and Law and Politics. In her role at RFI, Alisa feels fortunate to be able to spend every day fighting for a more ethical and equitable Illinois government that works not just for the wealthy and well-connected, but for everyone.Trevor Potter is the founder and President of Campaign Legal Center. He leads CLC in its efforts to advance democracy through law. A Republican former Chairman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Trevor was general counsel to John McCain's 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns and an adviser to the drafters of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. To many, he is perhaps best known for his recurring appearances on The Colbert Report as the lawyer for Stephen Colbert's super PAC, Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, during the 2012 election, a program that won a Peabody Award for excellence in reporting on money in politics.  Trevor has provided testimony and written statements to Congress on federal election proposals, campaign finance regulation and, recently, the effects of the January 6th attack on our democracy. He has also taught campaign finance law at the University of Virginia School of Law and Oxford University, and he has appeared widely in national broadcast and print media. During the 2020 election season, Trevor was named to the cross-partisan National Task Force on Election Crises.Patrick Llewellyn is Director, State Campaign Finance at Campaign Legal Center. He directs CLC's work with state and local stakeholders and policymakers to advance innovative campaign finance policies. Prior to joining CLC, Patrick worked as an attorney at Public Citizen Litigation Group, where his practice focused on government transparency and he represented nonprofits, journalists and researchers at all levels of federal court, and as a staff attorney/teaching fellow in the Civil Rights Clinic at Georgetown University Law Center, where he supervised law students on voting rights, workers' rights and other civil rights matters in state and federal courts.Kate Titus serves as executive director of Common Cause Oregon. She brings to this work a background in public policy and community organizing, having worked previously for a number of other public interest organizations including Public Citizen and Oregon Action.

It wasn't that long ago that airlines were slashing prices and offering huge seat sales to lure timid customers back onto planes during the pandemic. Safe to say, those days are over. For at least a year now, prices have been climbing and the summer travel season marks a new peak. A peak that likely won't last past next summer.How are seat prices set, anyway? How much of this is based on an airline's increased costs, and how much is a profit grab? What can you do to try to find cheaper fares? Do price-busting apps actually work? And why do you and your friend see different prices for the same seat on the same plane?GUEST: John Gradek, Faculty Lecturer in Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations and Aviation Management at McGill University

Today's book is: Engage in Public Scholarship: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication, by Dr. Alex D. Ketchum. Public scholarship—sharing research with audiences outside of academic settings—has become increasingly necessary to counter the rise of misinformation, fill gaps from cuts to traditional media, and increase the reach of important scholarship. Engaging in these efforts often comes with the risk of harassment and threats—especially for women, people of color, queer communities, and precariously employed workers. Engage in Public Scholarship provides guidance on translating research into inclusive public outreach while ensuring that such efforts are safer and more accessible. Dr. Ketchum discusses practices and planning for a range of educational activities from in-person and online events, conferences, and lectures to publishing and working with the media, social media activity, blogging, and podcasting. Using an intersectional feminist lens, this book offers a concise approach to challenges and benefits of feminist and accessible public scholarship. Our guest is: Dr. Alex Ketchum, who is the Faculty Lecturer of the Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies of McGill University. She is the Director of the Just Feminist Tech and Scholarship Lab. She is the author of Engage in Public Scholarship!: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication (Concordia University Press, 2022), and Ingredients for Revolution: A History of American Feminist Restaurants, Cafes, and Coffeehouses (2022). Since 2019, Ketchum has organized the SSHRC-funded Disrupting Disruptions: The Feminist and Accessible Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Workshop Series. She is also the founder of The Feminist Restaurant Project, and co-founder and editor of The Historical Cooking Project, and the former co-founder of Food, Feminism, and Fermentation. She is published in Feminist Studies, Feminist Media Studies, and Digital Humanities Quarterly.

In the time in between peak travel windows, the problems at Canada's major airports seem to have mostly vanished. But does that mean airlines and airport authorities have actually fixed the issues that had us ranked among the worst in the world last year? Not really.The massive numbers of cancelled or delayed flights, and the chaotic snapshots of hundreds of bags scattered about are primed for a comeback, because there's an underlying problem we haven't solved. And there are lessons even a year of awful press has not helped the industry learn. So what makes Canada's airports and flights so unstable? What could have been done to fix this? And will it really take no more than a busy week or a bad storm to send this country's air travel into a tailspin?GUEST: John Gradek, aviation industry expert, Faculty Lecturer and Program Co-ordinator, Supply Chain, Logistics and Operations Management, McGill University

(This is part one of a five-part series examining Canada's health care crisis. How we got here, what comes next, and what we can do about it.)Nurses are almost everyone's first point of contact with our health care system. And if you need extensive care, they will be your most reliable caregivers. But they're quitting. In droves. And without them, well, things like hospitals and long-term care facilities don't actually work.What's causing the mass exodus? What can we do to stop it? And what do people hoping to enter the nursing profession need to make an impact when they get here?GUEST: Natalie Stake-Doucet, former practicing nurse, Faculty Lecturer and PhD, Université de Montréal

Episode #37 Robert Siegel, Lecturer at Stanford University Graduate School of Business & VC on Fireside with a VC talking about his new book The Brains and Brawn Company: How Leading Organizations Blend the Best of Digital and Physical https://rb.gy/ctfxbb. Rob is also a General Partner at X-Seed Capital and Venture Partner at Piva Capital. In THE BRAINS AND BRAWN COMPANY, Siegel demonstrates how companies that bridge the digital and physical domains will have an advantage in coming years – just as Amazon has proven. Siegel provides a framework for ten key attributes companies must master—five each for the digital and physical realms—arguing that digital and physical excellence reinforce each other, achieving more in coordination than either can on their own. 1. Brain/The Left Hemisphere: Using Analytics 2. Brain/The Right Hemisphere: Harnessing Creativity 3. Brain/The Amygdala: Tapping the Power of Empathy 4. Brain/The Prefrontal Cortex: Managing Risk 5. Brain/The Inner Ear: Balancing Ownership and Partnership 6. Brawn/The Spine: Logistics 7. Brawn/Hands: The Craft of Making Things 8. Brawn/Muscles: Leveraging Size and Scale 9. Brawn/Hand-Eye Coordination: Managing Ecosystems 10. Brawn/Stamina: Surviving for the Long Run Siegel illustrates each with case studies—many based on CEO visits to his “Industrialist's Dilemma” class or in-depth research and case studies, providing readers the feel of an all-access pass to several of the most popular courses at the Stanford GSB. From 23andMe, Instacart and Google to Kaiser Permanente, Desktop Metal, and Michelin, the examples demonstrate how to combine the best of both digital and physical attributes to grow a company. And Siegel shows leaders how to put the framework into action by becoming Systems Leaders, skilled at blending the best of digital and physical, recognizing emerging patterns, and making key decisions in a rapidly changing landscape. andrew@7bc.vc video: https://youtu.be/f61n3-5MQrc

Welcome to Episode 36 of the ThinkUDL podcast: Design for Learning Equity with Kevin Kelly. Kevin is a Faculty Lecturer in the Department of Equity, Leadership Studies & Instructional Technologies at San Francisco State University. I talked with Kevin at the Teaching for Active and Engaged Learning Lilly Conference in San Diego, California, February 27-29, 2020. I was so excited to get a chance to sit down with Kevin to talk about creating equity in learning environments, especially in online learning environments. Our conversation is filled with an almost overwhelming amount of resources from Kevin's encyclopedic grasp of equity and online learning studies and materials that he applies to his courses and graciously shares with us in this conversation. The resources mentioned in this episode are available on Episode 36 of our ThinkUDL.org resource page. If you want to look further into anything we discuss in today's episode, you can follow up there. I am so glad to share this convicting, interesting, and information-rich conversation with our listeners!

This episode is the second of three "interview-only" episodes published this month. That means, just the interview with just a short intro by Rudolf, no news, no reviews. This week Rudolf welcomes back a guest who a year ago was very warmly received by all of you: Tobias Churton, British author and historian, musician and playwright is with us again. This time we talk mainly about his latest book "The Spiritual Meaning of the Sixties", but when Rudolf and Tobias (both born in 1960) start talking about those years, you can be sure that they soon end up talking about many other issues regarding Occultism, Magic, Music and times in general. All of this with Tobias' usual British wit and humour!       A world authority on Gnostic spirituality, TOBIAS CHURTON is Britain’s leading scholar in the field of Western Esotericism.
