What if one of cybersecurity's biggest problems isn't technology, but the way we've chosen to fight?I sat down with Michael Daniel, former White House Cybersecurity Coordinator and CEO of the Cyber Threat Alliance, to discuss a reality every CEO, CISO, and board member needs to understand:Your cyber risk is no longer just your risk.We explore why the old “castle and moat” model is broken, how competitors can collaborate against common threats, what boards still misunderstand about cyber risk, the coming impact of quantum computing, and why fatalism may be one of cybersecurity's most dangerous mindsets.As Michael puts it: “Your risk is also my risk.”The future of cybersecurity won't simply be determined by who has the best technology. It will be determined by who can collaborate, adapt, and recover faster than the threat.

Guest: Dr. Samantha MontanoWhen a disaster strikes, most of us focus on what we can see: the storm, the wildfire, the flood, or the earthquake. But what if the real story begins long before the event—and continues long after the headlines fade? Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Samantha Montano, a disaster researcher, author, and one of the leading voices helping the public better understand how disasters actually work. Through her work in "Disasterology," she examines the systems, decisions, and vulnerabilities that can turn natural hazards into human disasters—and what we can do to build more resilient communities. We'll talk about some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding disasters, why recovery is often the most overlooked phase of the disaster cycle, and how individuals, communities, and leaders can better prepare for the challenges that come before, during, and after a crisis.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Disasterology and Dr. Montano01:05 How Disasterology Became a Field02:07 The Human Side of Disasters03:36 Disaster Research and Human Responsibility05:08 The Role of Community and Leadership07:10 Impact of Physical and Social Vulnerability09:16 Training and Roles of Emergency Managers11:50 Public Misconceptions and Personal Responsibility13:51 Communication Strategies During Disasters14:29 Break 114:30 Recovery Challenges and Success Factors18:49 Community Leadership in Recovery22:24 Social Media and Disaster Communication26:19 The Future of Disaster Communication28:51 Break 228:51 Increasing Costs of Disasters and Communication36:16 Building Resilient Communities39:01 The Future of Disaster Management41:03 Optimism and the Next Generation of Emergency ManagersResourcesBook - Disasterology: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Climate CrisisDr. Samantha Montano - Website - https://disaster-ology.comFEMA - Federal Emergency Management Agency - https://www.fema.govGuest linksInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/samlmontano/Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/samlmontano.bsky.socialSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Questions Changed. The Answers Didn't. 30 Years on Christianity's Front Lines (1,000th Episode!) For thirty years, Come Reason Ministries has been answering questions about Christianity, culture, science, and truth. In this special 1,000th episode of Come Let Us Reason Together, Lenny Esposito looks back at the biggest apologetics challenges of the past three decades—from Bible reliability and New Atheism to today's debates over identity, technology, and human flourishing. Featuring classic clips, memorable moments, and insights from some of Christianity's leading thinkers, this episode explores how the questions have changed while the answers found in Christ remain the same.
Today on The Amber May Show, Amber sits down with award-winning journalist, Frontline America founder, and Real America's Voice host Ben Bergquam to discuss his new book, Step Into Fear: A Journey from Addiction to Courage and Purpose. Ben shares the deeply personal story behind the reporter Americans see today, including his battle with crack cocaine addiction, the double life that nearly destroyed his marriage, his Christian faith, recovery, fatherhood, and how confronting fear ultimately led him into some of the most dangerous reporting environments in the world. Then Amber turns to today's headlines. ICE is highlighting new arrests involving convicted child abusers, drug traffickers, and other criminal offenders. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is challenging the Trump administration over immigration policy and defending the role immigrants play in the city. The Supreme Court has temporarily kept a Trump administration mail-in voting rule blocked ahead of the 2026 midterms, leaving major questions about election procedures and federal authority. Plus, federal authorities deport a woman connected to an ISIS-inspired Election Day 2024 mass-shooting plot, a case involving a rarely used federal terrorism court. From personal redemption and faith to immigration enforcement, terrorism, election law, and the fight over America's borders, today's episode covers the stories behind the headlines.

Do you want a clear-eyed look at one of nursing's most sensitive topics, straight from someone who has lived it five times over?In this episode of Nursing Uncharted, host Ann sits down with Melisa, an ICU and NICU nurse turned strike assignment veteran, for an honest conversation about workforce disruptions. Melisa shares how she went from scrolling social media to boarding a flight in 48 hours, what it takes to earn trust on a unit that's never met you, and why she believes two seemingly opposite things can be true at once: strike nurses support staff nurses, and patients still come first. You'll walk away equipped to understand every side of the strike nursing experience, from the adrenaline of day one to the quiet satisfaction of a job well done.Key Topics Discussed:· Building Confidence Fast: What it takes to walk into an unfamiliar unit and deliver safe, competent care immediately.· Supporting Both Sides: Why strike nurses and staff nurses share the same goal, even when the narrative says otherwise.· Emotional Preparation: How to stay flexible, patient, and self-aware through the unpredictability of a strike assignment.Chapters:· 00:00 - Two things can be true: Setting the tone for a sensitive topic· 00:31 - Meet Melisa: NICU nurse and soon-to-be nurse practitioner· 04:12 - How travel nursing paved the way to her first strike· 09:43 - The chaos, camaraderie, and community of strike assignments· 13:36 - Why the work feels rewarding on multiple levels· 21:15 - Patient ratios, safety, and what nurses are really fighting for· 26:55 - Earning trust from unfamiliar providers under pressure· 34:06 - The emotional release when a strike finally ends· 35:46 - Advice for nurses considering their first strike assignmentGuest SpotlightMeet our guest, Melisa, an ICU and NICU nurse who has completed five strike assignments while pursuing her nurse practitioner degree with a focus on postpartum care.

What happens to the people behind the statistics when disaster strikes? In this powerful conversation, disaster and emergency nurse Dr. Jamla Rizek shares unforgettable stories from more than 20 disaster-response missions and her book Disaster Diaries. From caring for children after unimaginable trauma to working with refugees and communities displaced by disasters, she explores the human side of emergency medicine and why patients should never become just numbers. We discuss compassion in crisis, the psychological toll on healthcare workers, refugee and pediatric disaster preparedness, and why truly helping someone begins with understanding what they actually need. Above all, this episode is a reminder that behind every casualty number is a person, a family, and a story worth remembering. #DisasterDiaries #DisasterMedicine #EmergencyMedicine #Nursing #DisasterNursing #HumanitarianAid #HealthcareHeroes #RefugeeHealth #MentalHealth #EmergencyNursing #Podcast #HealthcarePodcast On YouTube @thelebanesephysicianspodcast

Welcome to The Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS, in partnership with Valor Plus.In this special two-part series, hosts Jon Gray and Jack Schonely are joined by L.A. City Fire Department (LAFD) pilot and safety officer Joel Smith for an inside look at the high-stakes world of LAFD Air Operations.Joel breaks down the tactical precision and intense training required to battle massive, wind-driven California wildfires like the Palisades in the Leonardo AW139, navigate extreme downdrafts in the Santa Anas, and manage chaotic multi-agency airspace stacks. He also details the unique, demanding pathway of promoting from firefighter to mission-command pilot, highlighting the partnership and high standards shared with LAPD Air Support.The conversation takes a deep dive into modern aviation safety management systems (SMS), root-cause hazard analysis, and the danger of operational complacency.

Curiosity is the Cornerstone of Effective Negotiation The discussion explored the idea that curiosity, rather than judgment, is a fundamental trait for successful crisis negotiators. The conversation highlighted that by being genuinely interested in understanding why a person is in crisis—whether due to criminal behavior or suicidal ideation—negotiators can foster real conversations that drive connection and progress. This shift from a judgmental mindset, essential on patrol for officer safety, to a curious one during negotiations is a critical and often challenging transition for police officers entering this specialized discipline 14:03. 2. Active Listening Trumps "Silver Tongue" One concept discussed was the misconception that the best negotiators are those who are great talkers with a "silver tongue." Instead, active listening emerged as a key theme, with several points raised about the importance of emotion labeling and the power of silence or effective pauses. These tools help people in crisis feel heard and understood—sometimes enabling them to express emotions or details they've never verbalized before. The conversation emphasized that truly listening, rather than focusing on what to say, often unlocks the best results in high-stakes situations 21:11. 3. Resilience and Debriefing Combat Cumulative Trauma A key theme that emerged was that negotiators and first responders must recognize and address cumulative trauma. The discussion highlighted the phenomenon of secondary traumatic stress—where hearing and witnessing repeated traumatic stories impacts responders' mental health—and the necessity of psychological resilience. Debriefings, peer support, and an evolving cultural openness toward mental health in policing were discussed as vital tools for well-being. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for law enforcement leaders and practitioners alike in sustaining long-term effectiveness and personal health 54:02.

What challenges and opportunities were discussed regarding being one of the few women in policing at that time? One concept discussed was the dual-track nature of police work: investigative versus tactical (SWAT/negotiations). How did these different tracks shape professional development and skill sets? A key theme that emerged was the importance of curiosity and genuine interest in others for effective negotiations. How can cultivating curiosity improve outcomes in high-stress crisis situations? The discussion explored the process of transitioning from street patrol to becoming a crisis negotiator. What fears and misconceptions did new negotiators tend to have, and how were these addressed? Several points were raised, including the idea that being a good negotiator is more about listening than talking. What active listening skills were highlighted, and how can they be applied both in law enforcement and everyday life? The episode described a critical incident where assumptions about an individual's concerns (e.g., fear of more medical bills) affected negotiation tactics. How can law enforcement better gather and utilize intelligence to avoid missteps? One concept discussed was the use of emotion labeling and effective pauses as negotiation techniques. Why are these approaches particularly effective in crisis negotiation scenarios? A key theme that emerged was the impact of cumulative trauma and the need for psychological resilience in policing. What strategies were suggested for managing trauma and stress both individually and organizationally? The discussion explored the “triad of command” model during critical incidents. How does integrating incident, tactical, and negotiations leadership improve decision-making and outcomes? Several points were raised about advice for future negotiators, including pursuing diverse education and practicing skills outside traditional law enforcement roles. What benefits are associated with broadening one's background, and how can prospective negotiators prepare for the unique demands of the field?

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Johnny Patterson, Chief of Staff for the Alliance for Responsible Citizens (ARC) and former founding director of Hong Kong Watch, to explore his landmark book, The Age of Reconstruction: Building a Civilisation Worth Inheriting. Starting from his front-row seat watching freedoms stripped away in Hong Kong to analyzing the "meaning crisis" consuming modern Western youth, Patterson delivers a stark wake-up call and a compelling message of hope. Is Western civilization in an irreversible, downward spiral of cynicism and cultural amnesia—or are we on the brink of a massive cultural rebuilding movement? Dive in to discover why dismantling the past was easy, but constructing a future worth inheriting demands an entirely new kind of courage.

What does it take to give people a meaningful voice in environmental decision-making? In this episode of People, Places, Planet, host Natalie Triana, joined by ELI Senior Attorney Kristine Perry, explore two landmark regional instruments: the UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (Aarhus Convention) and the Regional Agreement on Access to Information, Public Participation and Justice in Environmental Matters in Latin America and the Caribbean (Escazú Agreement.) They're joined by Jonas Ebbesson (Stockholm Environmental Law and Policy Centre) and Patricia Madrigal Cordero (Chair of the Committee to Support Implementation and Compliance of the Escazú Agreement). The conversation begins with the origins of the Aarhus Convention and the Escazú Agreement. Both instruments are based on three main pillars: access to environmental information, public participation in decision-making, and access to justice. The guests unpack what those rights look like in practice and how the two instruments have influenced one another over time. The discussion then turns to implementation and compliance, drawing on Jonas and Patricia's experience serving on the Aarhus and Escazú compliance committees. They discuss how these bodies work, the challenge of building trust with governments while holding them accountable, and some of the successes and challenges of putting environmental rights into practice. The episode also explores the recognition of environmental defenders, including the Escazú Agreement's explicit protections for defenders and the protections that have evolved under the Aarhus Convention. This episode is part of a series of episodes related to ELI's work on environmental and land defenders.

Yes, my friends, welcome to the Frontlines. This is Michael Basham. And it is a good thing to have meaning in your life. Purpose. A point to your life. You're important. Your life means something. God wants to do something. When you, yes you have a divine purpose. You are called and chosen, should you take that destiny. So many things in life are meaningless when you don't have God and the Holy Spirit, especially the Word of God. Everything just kinda circles the old toilet bowl...MICHAELBASHAM.COM
The Abraham Lincoln Brigade was a group of about 3000 young, idealistic Americans who volunteered to fight in Spain against the fascists. When they returned in the late 1930s they maintained their social activism with support for the great causes of the 1950s, 60s and beyond. A memorial to their memory is under threat in San Francisco as a park is re-configured.
"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism, hate and extremism through conversations with ADL staff, advocates and, in this podcast, five college and university leaders who are getting something right. This podcast an edited version of a webinar from the end of last semester, titled "Top of the Class: Report Card Success Stories," bringing together five campus leaders from institutions that earned an A on ADL's most recent Campus Antisemitism Report Card. It was sponsored by the ADL NY/NJ Region's Campus Committee. ADL's 2026 Campus Antisemitism Report Card, its third annual assessment, found that 58 percent of the colleges and universities that ADL evaluated received an A or a B, up from 41 percent the year before and just under 24 percent the year before that. That is real, measurable progress. And right here in ADL's New York/New Jersey region, six schools earned an A: Queens College, Baruch College, Brooklyn College, Rockland Community College, NYU and Vassar College. Five of those six joined Regional Director Scott Richman for this conversation: 1. President Frank Wu of Queens College, part of the City University of New York. 2. President S. David Wu of Baruch College, also part of CUNY, 3. President Michelle Anderson of Brooklyn College 4. President William Mullaney of SUNY Rockland Community College 5. Dean Rafael Rodriguez, the Vice President for Student Engagement and Dean of Students at New York University Here are links to the resources mentioned during the webinar: - ADL Campus Antisemitism Report Card: https://notoleranceforantisemitism.adl.org/campus-antisemitism-report-card - ADL Not on My Campus Resources: https://notoleranceforantisemitism.adl.org/ - ADL Campus Antisemitism Legal Line: https://www.legal-protection.org/ - Take Action with ADL: https://notoleranceforantisemitism.adl.org/take-action-campus This conversation was recorded in April 2026.
No Regrets, No Lull: Real Stories From the Front Lines of Home BuyingDavid Wickert and Tim Holdmann are back with three fresh success stories proving there's no such thing as a summer slowdown in real estate. First up: a couple who've owned their home since the Clinton administration finally catch their dream house after three years of searching — offering 13% over list price to secure a place where their adult son, who lives with them for medical reasons, will be taken care of long after they're gone. Then Tim shares an update on his Wauwatosa first-time buyer, whose fast-financing, no-appraisal-contingency offer not only won the house but scored her a $3,400 seller credit. Finally, David breaks down a relocating client using a brand-new Freddie Mac asset dissipation rule — dividing assets by 180 months to boost qualifying income without touching retirement accounts.Along the way, David and Tim talk engagement-ring negotiating strategy, the “how bad do you want this house” question every buyer should ask themselves, and why the mortgage industry's rulebook keeps getting smarter — and more human. Whether you've been house hunting for three weeks or three years, this episode is a reminder: the right house, and the right plan, are worth a good plan.

How Consistent Values Drive Unforgettable Service Shep interviews Cheryl Christensen, Sr. Vice President of Operations at Gathering Place. She talks about her journey from frontline roles to leadership at Disney and the impact of culture, service, and growth opportunities. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: What is the best way to handle customer outreach after a bad experience? What three job responsibilities should every employee in a service company share? How does servant leadership boost employee engagement and retention? How can companies turn customer complaints into operational improvement? What is the best way to handle customer outreach after a bad experience? Top Takeaways: Every job, even the simplest ones like bussing tables or cleaning up, can help build leadership skills. Every workplace is a place to grow. When employees are given opportunities to contribute, develop new skills, and take on challenges, a temporary job can become the beginning of a bigger career. Every employee should be empowered to do the job they were hired to do, take care of the guests or the customers, and pay attention to what needs to be done around them. Great experiences are not the responsibility of one department. When employees consistently take ownership beyond their immediate tasks, service becomes part of the culture rather than something confined to the customer support department. A complaint is an opportunity to improve the experience. Responding directly, acknowledging the customer's frustration, explaining what happened, and finding a way to repair the relationship, like inviting them back, can turn a negative experience into a positive one. The most valuable feedback does not have to come from a formal survey. Sometimes, it comes from employees who work with customers every day and see what delights or frustrates them. Collecting this feedback can help create insights that turn into actions that can improve customer experience. Leaders who notice employees' talents and give them new challenges help create a place where people want to stay. Because growth is one of the most important things that keeps employees motivated, leaders need to provide an environment where employees feel they can learn new skills and will be rewarded for their effort. Plus, Shep and Cheryl share customer service stories from her 37-year career journey at Disney and her current role at Gathering Place. Tune in! Quote: "Get hooked on your organization's magic. When your skills are recognized, and you're placed in roles where you can truly contribute, it creates meaning for you and the company. Always look for new ways to contribute and go beyond your basic role." About: Cheryl Christensen is the Sr. Vice President of Operations at Gathering Place. She had a 37-year career with the Disneyland Resort, where she held leadership positions in Operations and Human Resources.

What happens when a patient can't communicate with the team caring for them? On this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Christin Stanford talks with Erin Dougherty Cieszynski, Manager of Guest Relations and Patient Experience at Main Line Health, about what language access looks like once a policy meets a patient in an exam room. This conversation is part two of a series with Main Line Health, following a leadership-level discussion on operational strategy with Suzanne Smith. Check out part one! Erin brings over 12 years of patient advocacy experience to a conversation grounded in real moments from the floor: emergency department visits, registration desks, and the quiet handoffs between nurse, patient, and family. She walks through how Main Line Health moved from reactive interpreter use to automatic activation, why a universal sign-on changed adoption rates among clinicians, and how something as simple as a badge buddy can close a communication gap before it becomes a safety risk. Erin also shares how an ASL interpreter helped identify a hearing-impaired patient as a victim of human trafficking, connecting the dots between language access, patient safety, and trust. Throughout, she reframes language services as a driver of stronger patient outcomes, better satisfaction scores, and increased community referrals, not just a regulatory requirement. Key Takeaways Language access should be automatic at the start of care, not a last resort. Reducing friction through universal app sign-on, badge buddies, and dual handsets drives faster clinician adoption. Patients who feel heard are more likely to return, refer others, and engage in preventive care. Language access touches the entire patient journey, from registration through discharge and follow-up. Strong interpreter access supports both patient safety and staff satisfaction. Health systems should expect deeper digital integration and a shift toward population-mapped language access strategy.

Known for her empathy and ability to bridge the gap between clinical teams and the patients they serve, Erin has led efforts at Main Line Health to expand interpreter access, streamline technology adoption among clinicians, and connect language access directly to patient safety and satisfaction outcomes.

Good Villains is an odyssey into the minds of America's most polarizing figures—those who blur the line between icon and outcast.It begins with an unexpected encounter with Ye (formerly Kanye West) in late 2022, shortly after his billion-dollar empire collapsed and his presidential ambitions spiraled into chaos. What unfolds is a journey across the country, as author Shane Cashman gains unprecedented access to controversial cultural figures such as Alex Jones, Kari Lake, and Riff Raff—culminating in a harrowing profile of a woman at the center of a viral human trafficking controversy. These are not easy stories. They are intimate, unflinching portraits of the people who provoke, polarize, and challenge the mainstream narrative.At once cultural investigation and personal memoir, Good Villains asks what happens when a journalist steps inside the blast radius of fame, infamy, and digital hysteria, as Cashman embeds himself deeper in the lives of the infamous and becomes part of the story he set out to chronicle. Good Villains is a meditation on what it means to be adored, condemned, and obsessively watched in the modern world. Cashman trespasses into the upper echelon of America's celebrity and politics and sends back a dispatch from the center of a culture in collapse—where the most vilified figures hold a mirror up to the world and its flaws. The result: a gripping, dramatic look at cancel culture, fame, and the media machine told with journalistic detail and exceptional style.https://amzn.to/4iazYJ3Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
Has truth become the ultimate casualty of the culture wars? Richard Syrett sits down with journalist Shane Cashman, who embedded himself with some of America's most controversial figures, including Ye and Alex Jones, to expose how media narratives, algorithms, public shaming, and faith are reshaping our understanding of reality—and who gets branded the villain. GUEST: Shane Cashman is an investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, and author of Good Villains: My Journey to the Frontlines of Fame, Controversy, and the War on Reality. Best known for immersive reporting, he has spent years embedded with some of the world's most polarizing public figures, including Ye, Alex Jones, political dissidents, whistleblowers, and independent media personalities. His work explores propaganda, censorship, faith, technology, and the increasingly blurred line between objective truth and manufactured narratives.

On this, our 337th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss how Western society is treating its children. First, the good news: the Department of Justice, working with AGs in Texas and Ohio, have effectively shuttered two major “gender care” clinics, and extracted promises to create clinics to support people in detransitioning. It's about time. But: why is there a Trump banner on the DoJ? This is not typically how Americans do things, for good reason. Add the Trump branded passport, and $1 coin, and there's a definite Dear Leader vibe going on. Politics has taken over analytical thought—today, all you have to do is know who stands for a thing, and you know whether you do or do not agree. (See the protein panic currently taking blue-media outlets by storm.) Then: a Yale law professor says the insane part out loud. Finally, a guy caught taking out Flock cameras suddenly has a lot of friends, at least on-line.*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 20% off your first order.ARMRA Colostrum is an ancient bioactive whole food that can strengthen your immune system.
