Welcome to Part 2 of Episode 264 of the Mike Drop podcast, hosted by Mike Ritland, a former Navy SEAL and renowned dog trainer. In this gripping continuation, Mike sits down with Nico Kelly Nick O'Kelly, a former Green Beret who transitioned into an elite Night Stalker pilot with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). Kelly is also the author of the book Stigma: Breaking the Stigma, which delves into his personal battles with mental health. Listeners will find an unfiltered, raw conversation covering Kelly's high-stakes military career—from his warm reception back in Savannah as a new 160th pilot, intense training trips across the U.S., and his first combat deployment in the CENTCOM region, to the adrenaline-fueled details of real-world missions like dusty landings and contingencies. The episode takes a deep dive into Kelly's ongoing struggles with anxiety, debilitating dizzy spells, depression, and fleeting suicidal thoughts, which persisted through his pipeline and deployments but were often masked by adrenaline and focus. You'll hear about his post-deployment knee surgery that grounded him, leading to a misdiagnosis of narcolepsy, eventual identification of panic disorder, and his journey tapering off medications like Effexor while incorporating natural protocols like cold plunging and neurofeedback. Kelly shares his transition to civilian life as a financial planner specializing in veterans, insights on breaking mental health stigmas in elite units, and optimistic views on crypto and long-term investing. This episode is a powerful blend of military grit, vulnerability, and practical advice on resilience, making it essential for veterans, first responders, and anyone navigating mental health challenges or career pivots.

Dave Stutzman, Steve Gantner, and Elias Saltz discuss this weeks upcoming trip to the DBIA (Design-Build Institute of America) Conference in Las Vegas, where Conspectus will sponsor the Virtual Design Leadership Exchange and present on the value of engaging specifiers early in design-build projects.Explore how design-build delivery differs from traditional methods and why it's crucial for specifiers to be involved from the start. Design-builders, who oversee both design and construction, can benefit from structured specifications that align the entire team—owners, architects, engineers, contractors, and facility managers—around shared project goals.A key topic is the use of UNIFORMAT®, a system that organizes project information by assemblies and systems rather than individual components. Learn how this simplifies communication, supports “continuous estimating,” and reduces documentation bloat—transforming thousand-page specs into concise, 30-page system summaries. This approach enables informed decisions, real-time cost alignment, and risk reduction by ensuring everyone understands and agrees on project requirements as they evolve.They also emphasize the importance of collaboration, transparency, and permanent project records. By tracking decisions digitally within one shared environment, teams can avoid confusion, eliminate rework, and mitigate claims. Listen for a special cameo from Steve's dog, Paisley.Key Takeaways:Early specifier involvement strengthens design-build outcomes.UNIFORMAT fosters clear, system-based collaboration and reduces rework.Continuous estimating and transparent documentation help manage cost and risk.Teamwide buy-in—including facility managers—ensures practical, maintainable results.Building a permanent project record promotes accountability and project-first behavior.

In this special episode of the Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths is joined by Hub Politics' David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, and Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, to discuss the Carney government's upcoming budget and the potential for a snap election. They examine whether Canadians view the budget as the pivotal moment the government claims it to be, explore Carney's communication challenges, and debate whether the complexity of the budget will help or hurt the Liberals politically. On the back half of the show, they discuss the strategic calculations facing the parties as the possibility of a snap election looms, with particular focus on how ongoing uncertainty in Canada-U.S. relations under Trump continues to benefit Carney's political positioning. In the remaining moments, they discuss Poilievre's new youth-focused messaging that attempts to reframe him as more optimistic than negative.
