Det införs en gas i det allmänna pensionssystemet, och så fortsätter upprensningen på fondtorget efter tidigare pensionsskandaler. Den tidigare Allra-chefen har kommit ut ur fängelset, men ärendet är inte avslutat. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Fondtorget görs omUpprensningen bland premiepensionsfonderna fortsätter. Målet är att skapa ”tryggare och högre pensioner”. En lång rad populära fonder försvinner som en följd av de upphandlingar som görs, och totalt är det ungefär två miljoner pensionssparare och en miljon pensionärer som berörs. Bakgrunden till omgörningen är de skandaler som skakat om premiepensionssystemet, med Allra och Falcon funds som de mest kända exemplen. Allras vd: Jag är oskyldig Sedan en tid tillbaka är Allras tidigare vd ute ur fängelset och vill rentvå sitt namn. Men för Pensionsmyndigheten är ärendet inte avslutat. ”Vi ska komma ihåg att det är ungefär 90 000 premiepensionssparare som är drabbade”, säger Monica Zettervall, expert på Pensionsmyndigheten. ”Vi kommer göra vad vi kan för att få tillbaka mer pengar”En “gas” införs i det allmänna pensionssystemetSamtidigt har det kommit ett politiskt förslag som är tänkt att förbättra ekonomin för pensionärerna – en “gas” som slår in i goda tider. Frågan är vem som gynnas. “Att gröpa ur bufferten är en farlig väg att gå”, säger Hans Bolander, reporter på Dagens industri.Programledare och producent:Hanna MalmodinMedverkande och röster i programmet:Monica Zettervall, pensionsexpert PensionsmyndighetenHans Bolander, reporter Dagens industriErik Fransson, kanslichef FondtorgsnämndenAAnna Tenje (M), socialförsäkringsministerFredrik Hård, ekonom Fondbolagens föreningAlexander Ernstberger, fd vd Allraekonomiekotextra@sverigesradio.se
Choice Classic Radio presents The Falcon, which aired from 1943 to 1954. Today we bring to you the episode titled "The Case of the Missing Patient.” Please consider supporting our show by becoming a patron at http://choiceclassicradio.com We hope you enjoy the show!
In this episode, we dive deep into Ozzy Osbourne's “Back to the Beginning” final concert and discuss whether Sammy Hagar was the low point of the show.Do the old Marvel movies still hold up, or were they just great at the time? We debate how the newer films lean too heavily on cheap pops and flashy money shots. Falcon and The Winter Soldier has aged well, but its follow-ups felt forced.We also get into She-Hulk, Daredevil, Thunderbolts, and Captain America: New World Order, with a special focus on Ironheart's mishandling by Disney and whether her appearance in Wakanda Forever was a misstep.We revisit how some older CGI still holds up better than today's, and compare it to the over-reliance on CGI in modern films. Finally, we round things off with a look at the new Superman movie, highlighting all the things it got right — from casting, tone, and hopefulness to Lex Luthor, Krypto, and the Daily Planet. A must-listen for fans of both classic and contemporary superhero stories!#OzzyOsbourne #SammyHagar #DisneyPlus #KarenReturns #MarvelStudios #FalconAndTheWinterSoldier #SheHulk #Daredevil #Thunderbolts #CaptainAmericaNewWorldOrder #Ironheart #WakandaForever #CGI #SupermanMovie #LexLuthor #Krypto #DailyPlanet #SuperheroMovies #MarvelDebate #OldVsNewCGI #MarvelCritiqueLinktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksMerch: Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public

This remotely recorded episode was another that was a year in the making. I finally had a chance to sit down with Heather to talk about flying Cooper's hawks, kestrels, red-tailed hawks, her motivation for starting her falconry supply business, Mountain State Falconry Supply, her book Squirrel Hawking in Appalachia, and other cool stuff.

Get the book!Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming central to areas such as public health, education, agriculture, and climate resilience. In this context, the role of the State is coming into sharper focus, particularly in how governments can shape innovation to serve broad social goals. Intellectual property frameworks, often seen as tools for exclusivity, are being repurposed to support inclusive access and public benefit.This special episode of Intangiblia was recorded as part of my participation in the workshop “The Role of the State in Advancing Equitable Access to AI,” taking place in Oxford in September 2025. Organized by Sumaya Nur Adan and Joanna Wiaterek, and supported by the Future of Life Institute, the event brings together legal scholars, policymakers, and technologists to examine how States can ensure that the benefits of AI are equitably shared.The episode explores five legal and policy mechanisms that are already influencing how AI is governed through intellectual property. It discusses Canada's ongoing efforts to map and license Crown-owned patents under a broader national strategy. It examines Singapore's copyright reforms, which have introduced clear legal exceptions to support AI model training. The conversation also includes examples of culturally aware AI development, such as the open-source Falcon model in the UAE and community-led Indigenous data initiatives in New Zealand. It looks at how public interest licensing and voluntary IP pools are evolving in fields beyond health, and how state-led initiatives, such as public procurement and open research mandates, are being used to align technological development with social needs.The episode also reviews recent legal rulings in the United States that have tested the limits of fair use in AI training. These include the 2024 decision involving OpenAI, the 2025 dismissal of claims against Meta, and the Bartz v. Anthropic case presided over by Judge Alsup, which underscored the difference between statistical pattern recognition and direct reproduction of copyrighted works.Rather than focusing solely on restrictions or incentives, the discussion emphasizes how IP law can serve as a strategic governance tool. By adapting legal frameworks to current challenges, States can guide AI innovation toward inclusive outcomes and help ensure that technological advancement remains aligned with the public good.Send us a textSupport the show

Mike and Ovie are here to take us through what they have seen through the second week of preseason Falcons football and its starting to sound a lot like last year for better or worse, in that we still don't have starters on the field. It seems like the Falcons are the only ones opting for this strategy but the fans want to see players like Bijan, Tyler Allgeier and Michael Penix.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac let listeners call in and talk about which current Falcon they would want to have with them if they were on the TV show The Amazing Race, if they have a favorite radio memory, and if NFL.com writers Ali Bhanpuri's and Adam Rank's Falcons' record predictions were crazy or not in the Wake Up Call!
HR3 - Falcons need defensive investments to pay off if they're going to make playoffs In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac let listeners call in and talk about which current Falcon they would want to have with them if they were on the TV show The Amazing Race, if they have a favorite radio memory, and if NFL.com writers Ali Bhanpuri's and Adam Rank's Falcons' record predictions were crazy or not in the Wake Up Call! Then, Ali, Mike, and Beau give their final thoughts on what Atlanta Falcons players will be fighting for those final few roster spots on the Falcons' 53-man roster during Atlanta's final preseason game on Friday versus the Dallas Cowboys, talk about if they think the kicker job has been won by Younghoe Koo already, and explain why they think Koo will likely be the Falcons' kicker this year, but maybe not in 2026. The Morning Shift crew also dives into the life of Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan in The Life of Squid. Finally, Ali, Mike, and Beau close out hour three by spending some time with national NFL writer for NFL Media & NFL.com Eric Edholm! Ali, Mike, Beau, and Eric discuss if anything has stood out to Eric so far this preseason, how Eric feels about the Falcons this season, how Eric thinks the national media views Falcons' wide receiver Drake London among the rest of the premier wide receivers in the NFL, which rookies Eric thinks will take the NFL by storm this season, how Eric thinks the Cam Heyward contract situation is going to play out between Heyward and the Pittsburgh Steelers, how Eric thinks the Micah Parsons contract situation is going to play out between Parsons, Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones, and the Cowboys, and if Eric thinks it's a bad sign that the New Orleans Saints still haven't named a starting quarterback yet.

CASEY'S GENERAL STORES, INC.At last year's annual meeting in August, shareholders were asked YES or NO on CEO Darren Robelez's pay plan. To help them make a decision on the pay practices they had information like the ratio of the annual total compensation of Casey's General Stores CEO to that of its median employee for the 2024 fiscal year, commonly known as the CEO Pay Ratio. Let's begin the quiz there:According to the company's SEC filing, at what point in the fiscal year 2024 did CEO Darren earn the compensation of his company's median employee?12:35:33 PM on January 1st, the first day of the work year, meaning his pay CEO pay ratio was 579:1Additionally, the CEO's target equity award was $6.7M. In the worst case scenario where every single peer company outperformed Casey's General Stores in terms of total shareholder return, how much equity could the CEO receive?$5,025,000, reflecting a TSR Modifier of -25%.Accordingly, based in part on the information you have just learned, what percentage of Casey's shareholders voted against his pay practices?2%Bonus question: According to the company's 2025 SEC filing, at what point in the fiscal year 2025 did CEO Darren earn the compensation of his company's median employee? Remember, it was 12:35:33 PM on January 1st, the first day of the work year.12:32:05 PM on January 1st, the first day of the work year: 3 minutes and 28 seconds earlier. AGM: 9/3/2025589:1 CEO pay ratio CEO Darren Robelez 98% YESPay committee: *Former BJ's Restaurants CEO Gregory Trojan, Oobli CEO Allison Wing2024 AGM99.1% YES average33% Influence CEO/Chair: 20% YES SHP independent board chair policy-13% gender influence gap: Darren M. Rebelez (33%) & Gregory A. Trojan (14%)CROWDSTRIKE HOLDINGS, INC.A recent Fortune article called Laying off workers because of AI is more of a fashionable excuse than a real business imperative cites CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz linking 5% job cuts to the cybersecurity company's need to double down on AI investments to “accelerate execution and efficiency.” Kurtz said: “AI flattens our hiring curve, and helps us innovate from idea to product faster.”First question, are CrowdStrike shareholders also given the privilege to “accelerate execution and efficiency”? How many total years does it take for a CrowdStrike investor to vote on all nine board members?3 years, classified board.This is important because clearly shareholders were not completely pleased this year: 34% said NO Pay Committee Chair Cary Davis while 38% said NO to Nomination Committee chair Laura Schumacher2% NO CEO KurtzConsidering the board influence of Founder/CEO/Director and third largest shareholder George Kurtz, investors would typically be best served with a board provides an effective counterbalance to his control. Of the board's eight independent directors, what percentage has served for at least a decade alongside Kurtz?Four directors, or half.Again, to counteract his control, investors should expect regular board refreshment. How many new directors have joined the board in the last 5 years?One, Johanna Flower, the only director who sits on zero board committees. She joined the board in January 2023Kurtz already owns $2.7B of Crowdstrike shares. What percentage of his annual pay consists of equity?90%, with a target equity award of $35M.Finally, CrowdStrike's infamous 2024 software update is commonly described as what?The largest outage in the history of information technology.In 2024, CrowdStrike released a software update that disrupted millions of Microsoft Windows systems around the worldA faulty update to its Falcon sensor platform led to the "Blue Screen of Death" on millions of machines, bringing critical operations to a standstill across numerous sectors.The immediate and most visible impact was the widespread and severe disruption to the global economy. The financial toll is estimated to be in the billions of dollars. Key sectors affected include:Aviation: Major airlines like Delta, United, and American Airlines grounded thousands of flights, disrupting travel for millions and costing airlines hundreds of millions of dollars.Healthcare: Access to electronic health records was hindered, leading to the cancellation of surgeries and appointments. This disruption posed a direct risk to patient care and safety.Financial Services: Banks and financial institutions faced outages that affected everything from ATM services to online banking and stock trading. This not only resulted in financial losses but also eroded consumer confidence.Government and Emergency Services: The outage impacted various government agencies and even emergency services in some areas, highlighting a significant threat to public safety and national security.For Mr. Kurtz, the amount for fiscal 2025 also includes approximately (i) $104,279 for costs related to personal security for Mr. Kurtz and his family at his residences and (ii) $898,426 for costs related to personal usage of private aircraft.As part of our sales and marketing activities, we sponsor a CrowdStrike-branded professional racing car, which Mr. Kurtz drives in some races at no incremental cost to us and in lieu of us hiring a professional driver. As we do not pay any amounts to Mr. Kurtz under these arrangements, it is not reflected in the above table.No vote on payTARGET CORPORATIONTarget foot traffic is still suffering 6 months post-boycott. An industry veteran says the retailer's problems are bigger than curtailing DEITarget Boycott Leader Jamal Bryant Is Arriving on CEOs' Radar ScreensInside Target, Frustrated Employees and Search for New CEOThis article from the WSJ says:Many Target shoppers are frustrated with the retailer. Many Target employees are too.In early June, a companywide survey showed that roughly half of Target's employees didn't think the company was making the changes necessary to compete effectively. About 40% of the roughly 260,000 staffers who replied said they didn't have confidence in the company's future. The scores—which declined from a year ago—were even lower for those staffers at Target's headquarters in Minneapolis.The worker sentiment data reflects the challenges ahead for the company as it prepares to navigate a leadership change and turn around 10 quarters of flat or falling sales in an increasingly complex consumer environment.Based on what I just told you, TRUE or FALSE on this next headline from Fortune? Is this real or am I making it up? Target's CEO succession tilts toward an insider and company liferTrue. The leading contender appears to be: Michael Fiddelke is executive vice president and chief operating officer for Target and a member of its leadership team.Since joining Target in 2003 as an intern, Michael has held a variety of leadership positions across the organization, including finance, merchandising, human resources and operations. He most recently served as Target's chief financial officer. In addition to his Target responsibilities, Michael serves on the board of Shipt, Target's wholly-owned subsidiary.Compensation & Human Capital Management Committee: “Management development and succession planning.

This award consisted of 70,225 performance-based RSUs at a fair market value of $14.24 per share, the approximate equivalent of $1,000,000 at the time of award. The Compensation Committee believes this Special One-Time Award is designed to incentivize Mr. Hininger's performance and retain him for a multi-year period.On August 18, 2025, CoreCivic, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) announced that Damon T. Hininger, the Company's Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), will step down as CEO and resign from his position on the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective as of January 1, 2026 (the “Transition Date”). Patrick Swindle, who currently serves as the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, will assume the role of CEO of the Company, effective as of the Transition Date, and will continue serving as the President of the Company.

This episode is the other recording that I did while in Arizona a few weeks ago, and thanks to the encouragement of mutual friends Kalen and Amy, I was able to meet up with Jerry and get his story while at Amy and Donnie's place. Jerry is another falconer with a very long career in the sport, with a lot of very unique experiences. He talks about flying golden eagles and ornate hawk eagles in AZ, his unique way of getting interested in falconry through raptor rehabilitation (which in that instance, he caused as a kid), working for and dealing with Federal Fish and Game, and what led him to eventually start the Arizona Raptor Center. This is another jam packed episode that encompasses a very eventful life, so we hope you learn something from it!

If you're looking for a snappy satire of the sexist dating scene… consider this tight one-act from literary luminary Germaine de Staël. Although he's always lived in Germany, Monsieur de la Morlière glorifies all things from France as the pinnacle of culture –– and therefore secured a noble French suitor for his daughter, Sophie. However, our clever heroine is ready with a deliciously silly scheme to reveal the pompous French Count for the fool he is. With both frothy fun and physical comedy, this short play packs a lasting punch with its sharp commentary on the hypocrisy in relationships cordial, familial, and romantic.If you're looking for a verse romcom with snarky sidekicks and a lover's quarrel… look no further than Marie-Anne Barbier's The Falcon. Federic has spent every penny on impressing Axiane – but she has remained unsure of his true affection. Their friends push and pull for them to see reason, yet fear and flirtation drive them to extremes. This quippy period piece asks, is love worth self-sacrifice? How much? And can we ever truly trust a lover's meaning and intentions? Beatrice and Benedick but with Bridgerton vibes, this charming cat-and-mouse game of logic and love reminds its audience that personal insecurity is often our deepest romantic challenge.Hosted by Triza Cox and Emily LyonSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/this-is-a-classic-the-expand-the-canon-theatre-podcast/donations

Col. Nichole Ayers is a trailblazing pilot, leader, and astronaut whose journey began at the United States Air Force Academy, where she graduated in 2011 with a degree in mathematics. An accomplished F-22 Raptor pilot, Ayers is one of the few women ever to fly the world's most advanced stealth fighter—and she's one of even fewer to command them in formation for combat training missions. Col. Ayers earned her wings through years of training and operational excellence, logging over 200 flight hours in combat and playing a critical role in advancing tactical aviation. Her exceptional performance led to her selection in 2021 by NASA as a member of Astronaut Group 23, an elite class of 10 chosen from among 12,000 applicants. As a NASA astronaut candidate, Col. Ayers completed intensive training at Johnson Space Center, which included spacewalk preparation, robotics, survival training, systems operations, and Russian language. Now qualified for spaceflight, she stands on the threshold of a new chapter that led her to the International Space Station. Throughout her career, Col. Ayers has exemplified the Academy's core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. Her journey from cadet to combat aviator to astronaut is a testament to resilience, determination, and a passion for pushing boundaries.

Nichole Ayers 00:05 Houston, Station, I'm ready for the event. NASA Air Force Academy, this is Mission Control, Houston. Please call Station for a voice check. Naviere Walkewicz 00:13 Station, this is Lt. Col. Naviere Walkewicz. How do you hear me? Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 00:17 Hi, ma'am. I've got you loud and clear. Welcome to the International Space Station. Naviere Walkewicz 00:20 Welcome to a special presentation of the US, Air Force Academy, Association and Foundation's, Long Blue Line Podcast Network. I'm Naviere Walkewicz, Class of '99. I was honored recently to speak with a true pioneer, United States Air Force Academy graduate, accomplished fighter pilot, 2022 Young Alumni Excellence Award recipient and now NASA astronaut, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole “Vapor” Ayers, Class of 2011, Vapor joined us from the International Space Station orbiting about 250 miles above Earth. Her journey from Cadet to astronaut embodies the pursuit of excellence and the spirit of exploration that distinguishes the Long Blue Line. For this conversation Vapor and I explored what it means to be a human in the vastness of space, how one's perspective shifts when Earth shows up as a distant blue marble, and what her journey can tell us about courage, connection and the Future. Lieutenant Colonel Ayers, this is such an honor. So excited. Seeing Earth from space forever changes your perspective. How was the experience for you? And how has it changed the way you view your role as a leader? Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 01:32 Yeah, you know, I think for everybody, the experience is slightly different. For me, seeing the earth from the Dragon window for the first time was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. And then seeing the Earth every day from the cupola and then the lab window that we have here, you know, you don't see country or state lines on the Earth, right? There's not like each state has a different solid color, right? There's just geography and just terrain. And so you get to learn the world all over again in terms of colors and textures and geography and water. You know, there's so much water on this earth, and it's hard to put it into perspective until you're actually looking at the Earth, and it's, it's something that has really hit me, because the Earth is so fragile. You know, we see these beautiful auroras, we see thunderstorms, we see different natural disasters, and it's really kind of made me want to take better care of this earth. And you know, when I get home, I want to just do things a little bit better and just take that extra step, to take my make my part in taking good care of this earth. Naviere Walkewicz 02:38 That makes amazing sense. And, you know, I think it takes us to kind of your path to becoming an astronaut. Can you walk us through what that was like? Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 02:47 Yeah, sure. So, you know, I was, I've been saying that I wanted to be an astronaut since I was little kid. And, you know, I always had an affinity for space and for the sky. And growing up in the Shuttle era, you know, as soon as I learned that you could fly the shuttle be the pilot. I was like, “Ooh, that's what I want to do.” And so, the very serious little Nichole set my goals really high and started working towards that path. And, you know, grew up right there in Colorado Springs, watched the Air Force Academy graduation, you know, and the Thunderbirds fly over every year. And it just kind of seemed like a natural path for me to go to the Air Force Academy, become a pilot and try to pursue the astronaut dream from the pilot's perspective. So you know, I worked really hard, set my goals really high, and never got bumped off that path and was able to apply and actually get selected. And now here I am talking to you from the International Space Station. Naviere Walkewicz 03:36 And it's pretty incredible being able to see you weightless there, and you're here in its full glory. It's pretty amazing. Can you, talk about your time at the Air Force Academy? Specifically, what foundational experiences would you say have really kind of played a part with your life in space right now? Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 03:54 Yeah you know, I think the Air Force Academy, for me, the biggest part was just being on teams. You know, I played volleyball there. And, you know, I would say every Squadron is its own little team. And you know, as a four degree, you're there with all of your classmates, and you're going through training sessions together. And so being on these teams in different environments, and some austere environments and high pressure situations, and learning how to take care of other people in those moments, I think, has been huge in my path to getting here. You know, those, all those words speak truth here on the International Space Station, you know, we're in an austere environment. Sometimes we're under pressure situations, and it's just a few of us up here working together with the ground to make this International Space Station stay in orbit, to execute all of the science and the maintenance and keep it running and continue to learn everything we possibly can, both about space and about Earth in order to inform how we do life on Earth and how we get to the moon and Mars. Naviere Walkewicz 04:47 Thank you. So maybe, can you share with us what your daily routine aboard the ISS is like... Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 04:53 Yeah, you know, it's not unlike yours. Potentially. You know, our schedule is pretty set to the ground team figures out about, you know, what science and what maintenance needs to be done, and who's going to go do it. We are scheduled from about 7:30 in the morning to 7:30 in the evening, and we get, you know, two to two and a half hours of exercise time so that we can maintain our bone and muscle and cardiovascular health up here. And then when we're not working out, we're, like, I said, executing science. You know, I'm surrounded just here in this module, every single rack has some sort of payload or science experiment going on, so we just kind of follow the schedule. We work with the ground team to figure out where the things are that we need, and the procedures and all of that. But it's not unlike life on Earth... Naviere Walkewicz 05:37 Maybe a little bit different. What's the biggest misconception people have about life on the ISS, you think? And what's something that surprised you while you're being there? Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 05:48 Man, you know, I've been asked this question before. I'm not sure if I know the biggest misconception. You know, I think that often people kind of put astronauts up on a pedestal, but, you know, we're just humans who like to do, like the work that we do. We're really passionate about what we do. We're good teammates. So we're just normal humans, and it's not the most glamorous job, you know, we do, you know, often wear diapers, or we're working really hard, or things like that. So, you know, just normal humans up here. I think one of the things that surprised me the most, I'll see if I can do this without bumping the Astrobee off the wall here. But for me, it took my brain a while to, you know, get used to seeing people on the wall, or, you know, our treadmills on the wall, or seeing people upside down, and there's no up and down in space. And so it took a while for me to get used to that, and for my brain to kind of remap what I consider up, down, left and right in space. And you know that people are just floating, and we get a float every day, I can let go the mic and talk to you. Naviere Walkewicz 06:46 So we have a lot of cadets and young officers that listen to us. What advice would you give them in the dream of following in your footsteps? Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 06:56 Yeah, that's a great question. You know, I love to preach hard work and teamwork. You know, find something that you really enjoy doing. You know, NASA needs, I studied math, right? I'm a pilot, but we need doctors. We need scientists, we need engineers. So figure out what you really enjoy doing, work really hard at that thing, and then go find a team you can be on, and figure out how to take care of other people, and figure out how, how you mesh in this world, and how you can and thrive in these small environments or austere environments with other people. So I love to just say, you know, work hard, be a good teammate, and everything will work out in your favor. I think. Naviere Walkewicz 07:30 Can you share if you've received any valuable insights or advice from other Air Force Academy grads who were astronauts? Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 07:37 Oh, yeah, I think tons, is what I would say, you know, Eric Kjell, and specifically Nick and Roger, who just recently flew and came back, you know, I think that there's been a ton of advice just in terms of of how we do life here on the International Space Station and how, you know, we're going to continue to explore on the Moon and Mars, and how we can share our story, and how we can share all of the science that we're doing. But I think one of the most practical things that I got was from Nick during the handover, when we, we had a couple days up here together, and he said, “Don't forget, you're still squishy.” You know, we're surrounded by a bunch of metal up here. Nothing is very soft. And so if you, if you get moving too quick, or you get too confident, it's very easy to stub a toe or hit something. And so we're still just squishy humans. And you know, if you take that one step further metaphorically, I think, you know, we're still just humans, and we make mistakes, and that's okay, as long as you can bounce back, and as long as you're not going too fast when you hit a handrail too hard. Naviere Walkewicz 08:31 Absolutely. Well, you talked a little bit about the austere environment. What do you hope your mission and your story inspiring the next generation of Academy grads, especially those who feel called to serve in bold and unconventional ways. Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 08:46 Yeah, you know, I think the bold and unconventional part really hits me, because, you know, growing up during the shuttle era, and then I was at the Air Force Academy when the last shuttle flight flew. And you know, as you grow up, you say you want to be an astronaut, people often say like, Wow, that's awesome. And then when you become an adult, sometimes you don't quite get the same response, you know, sometimes you get a laugh. And so, you know, I would say that even if people don't believe you, or they don't necessarily support what you want to do, if you've got a goal or a dream, just continue to, like I said, work hard at it, you know, put your nose to the grinder. Get really good at whatever it is that you want to go do, and don't let the naysayers get you. You know, there will always be someone there who thinks it's silly, but you will always find someone who supports you. My old commander, Robin, again, he was the one who supported me and got me here, and he said, “Are you silly?” Like, why would you ever think that's silly, or hesitate to tell me what you want to do? So, keep talking about your goals, keep working towards it. And yeah, like I said, maybe someday you could be up here with us. Naviere Walkewicz 09:44 Absolutely bold and unconventional, for sure. And speaking of such space missions demand precision under pressure. Can you share a moment, whether in training or on the ISS where quick thinking and calm leadership made a difference for you? Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 09:57 Yeah, definitely. I think that I.... Actually, a great example is our space walk that Anne McClain and I did about a month and a half ago. You know, right in the middle of the space walk, the priorities changed and the game plan changed. And if you were just an onlooker watching, sitting at home watching, you may not have even noticed that. And I think that's a huge testament to our ground team and our flight director, Deanna Trujillo, for the day, you know, her ability to lead that ground team and change the game plan on the fly, and then get those words up to us through some calm loss and some other hardships that we were working through, and then for us, for Anna and I, to work together, both just the two of us out outside the space station and the vacuum of space, but also us with the ground to make that all look very seamless. We're very proud of how that space walk went, and our ability to kind of change the plan on the fly, execute, come up with new ways of doing things, and figuring out how we're going to leave the station in a good state, and also achieve all those objectives. So think that was we're actually really proud of the way that we, you know, manage all of those changes, and hopefully to the onlooker like yourself. It looks seamless. Naviere Walkewicz 11:04 Absolutely and it kind of talks a little bit to what you said earlier about, you know, seeing Earth from a different vantage point and wanting to protect it. I'd like to actually ask you more about that. So can you share, from your vantage point what you've observed about humanity and the resilience as you, as you look on it, from us, from our perspective here on Earth, and you being up there, Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 11:24 Yeah, you know, I think that one of the biggest things that, you know, I mentioned the natural disasters that we see and, you know, and I feel a sense of duty to photograph and to try to document the things that just humans endure on a daily basis. You know, I talked about thunderstorms or landslides, forest fires, all sorts of things. You know, we see it from such a different vantage point up here. And, you know, knowing that there are people down there who are trying to survive, and knowing that those people will survive, and that we have an entire community that's going to rally around those people in those instances. And you know, just trying to do our part from up here and give, you know, that unique vantage point and give as much data and as much help as we possibly can. I think that's one of the biggest things that our world does well, is, you know, helping each other when we're in need. Naviere Walkewicz 12:09 And Lieutenant Colonel Ayres, maybe you can share what's been the impact of this mission on your sense of purpose, and how do you think it will shape your next chapter when you come back on Earth? Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 12:22 This is a great question. I've done a lot of thinking about this, you know, you know, finally achieving your childhood dream. What's next? You know, what do you do next? And I think for me, the biggest thing that I want to continue to do is just inspire the next generation. You know, all those little kids who say they want to be astronauts, and then they get laughed at as adults. You know, I think that's it's so important to just foster that curiosity and foster that sense of exploration. And really, you know, encourage the next generation to go do what they're passionate about, because we will always need someone in that niche thing that you're passionate about. And so helping people get there is, is really what I want to do next. And, you know, helping the next youth get to their dreams and their goals and continue to just build this society that continues to explore and as you know, especially as we go to the moon and onto Mars and we commercialize low earth orbit, I think there's so much that we can do. And it's I feel, again, a sense of duty to help the next generation do that? Naviere Walkewicz 13:21 Well, we talk about the next generation and the long blue line being enduring. Is there anything else you'd want to share with Air Force Academy grads in general? Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 13:30 Yeah, you know, I think it might be a dead horse that I'm beating at this point, but the teamwork is so important. You know, just, just take care of the people around you. Make sure that you're always looking out for each other. You know, the long blue line is a very special thing to be a part of. And, you know, like yourself, you know, I met you a couple years ago, and it feels like I could just go, you know, hang out with you, have dinner, and we could pick up like old friends. And that's what the long blue line is all about. You know, having friends all over the world who can help you. You know, I got to hang out with Nick Hague in space, another member of the long blue line who told me I was going to be squishy. You know, things like that are just the unique moments that we have as Academy grads. You know, there's always going to be someone there who supports you and who loves you and who wants to see you be successful, Naviere Walkewicz 14:15 Wonderful. Thank you so much for this time. There's probably so many more questions we could ask you, but I think the biggest one is just, you know, we would leave you with it's such an honor and a privilege to see you out there. We're proud of everything that you're doing, and we can't wait to see more of what you're able to accomplish while you're in space and when you come back. Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers 14:34 Thank you so much. Like I said, so excited to talk to you today and to just share the experience and also, you know, have a have an influence on the AOG. I'm excited that the AOG is interested in space and interested in all of us who are out here. You know, again, the Long Blue Line is a really cherished and unique group to be a part of. So honored and proud to be a part of that group, and excited that I got to share a little bit of what we do up here with you guys today. Naviere Walkewicz 15:02 Thank you so much for the time. Naviere Walkewicz Well, before I close, I'd like to share what happened after the podcast. My cell phone rang, and I had a call from government, and I said, “Who could be calling me?” Well, I answered, and wouldn't you know 250 miles above the Earth, Vapor Ayers was calling me on my cell phone just to say what an amazing conversation we had. What technology we have, that she sounded like she was next door. It was an incredible opportunity for us to talk a little bit more about the podcast and highlight what you might hear in an upcoming Checkpoints article. So for now, I'll sign off. I'm Naviere Walkewicz, Class of '99. Thank you for listening. This has been a special presentation of the US, Air Force Academy, Association and Foundation's Long Blue Line Podcast Network.

We mistake ourselves for the stories we've been told and the ones we keep telling. But what if those stories are too small to contain who we really are? A conversation about discovering that the more we open our hearts to the world, the less we actually know about anything—and how this not knowing might be exactly where freedom lives. What happens when we stop trying to figure everything out and instead give ourselves fully to the mystery of being human? This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Episode Overview 00:00 Introduction and Context Setting 06:26 Exploring Rilke's 'Widening Circles' 12:16 The Journey of Discovery 18:53 Embracing Uncertainty and Complexity 24:10 Faithfulness in the Face of Not Knowing 30:30 Invitation to Community and Practice Here's our source for this week: Widening Circles I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I give myself to it. I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I've been circling for thousands of years and I still don't know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?

Send us a textSURPRISE EPISODE!We did a LIVE viewing with our PATREONS for the Netflix TRAINWRECK episode on Balloon Boy, and it was SO much fun! and this is Matt's 'deepish' dive on the case.In case you don't know in 2009, a family of 5, made something that closely resembled, a jiffypop, but it was meant to be a saucer that they would fill with helium, and launch. However, they would claim, that in their attempt to test it, they had neglected to properly tether it to the ground, and it had taken off with their six-year old son Falcon inside.What ensued would be over 2 hours of rescue services trying to control the giant jiffypop, in an attempt to rescue the boy. But, when it finally landed and there was no Falcon inside, authorities needed to figure out; did he, somehow fall out without someone noticing? was this all a giant hoax? or, was it all just a simple misunderstanding?This is Matt's 'deep-ish' dive on Balloon Boy!To join us on our next LIVE, or to WATCH Matt's #4 episode, please join us on patreon at: www.patreon.com/EverythingScaryPod571Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!
