Data is the engine of health innovation, but too often it can't tell the full story. On this week's episode of The Dose, Dr. Sema Sgaier joins host Joel Bervell to talk about the future of equitable health care: how we collect data, who's included, and what it means for clinical trials, mental health, and the role of AI. Tune in to hear Dr. Sgaier explain why solving health care's toughest challenges starts with understanding the human side of health — and how inclusive data can lead to smarter policies, safer treatments, and better care.

In this episode of This Is Ag, I'm joined by Veronica Luna—Director of Administrative Operations at Rancho Guadalupe and a passionate advocate for the people who power our fields. With years of experience in agriculture, Veronica has become a quiet but powerful force behind the scenes, using her voice to champion mental health, accessible benefits, and compassionate leadership.Raised by a strong mother, Veronica learned early what it meant to speak up—even when it wasn't easy. Today, she carries that legacy forward at Rancho Guadalupe, where she not only manages Human Resources and benefits but also plays a key role in shaping a workplace culture grounded in care.In this episode, Veronica opens up about helping launch Spring Health before the pandemic—a bold move that brought mental health support to ag workers when they needed it most. She shares how her personal grief journey became the spark to advocate for others, and how leadership at Rancho Guadalupe—especially General Manager AJ Cisney—listens and acts when employees speak.This is an episode about the heart of ag—the unseen labor, the emotional weight, and the deep humanity behind every harvest. Veronica's story is a reminder that care, empathy, and advocacy aren't just nice to have; they're essential tools for building a stronger, more resilient ag community.Veronica Luna: https://www.linkedin.com/in/veronica-luna-88900b199/Rancho Guadalupe: https://ranchoguadalupe.com/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Barbara Meza, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Marriage as a divine sacrament is radically misunderstood in our secular age. While many see it merely as a social contract or romantic bond, its true nature runs infinitely deeper – it's a visible sign that reveals God's invisible mystery of Trinitarian love.Young people today are increasingly abandoning marriage altogether, finding it easier to "just forget it" than attempt to understand its profound meaning. This tragic reality stems from our culture's impoverished view of love and relationships, which has left hearts confused and yearning for something they can't quite name.The John Paul II Renewal Center was formed precisely to address this modern crisis of meaning. At its core is a revolutionary truth – our bodies were designed to "make visible what is invisible, the spiritual and the divine." Whether married or single, discover how your heart was made for this eternal love story and how embracing this truth transforms relationships, identity, and purpose. Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalOn Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCIf you're interested in being a sponsor of the Become Who You Are Podcast, please email us at Info@JP2Renew.org Support the show

I am honored to be in conversation with Mark Patinkin, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in international reporting, as he shares an array of human stories that help us to grasp the complexities of life and war in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. Patinkin moves from armchair commentaries to analyst to storyteller and beautifully amplifies voices and perspectives that need to be heard. He goes into the homes of both Jews and Palestinians to bear witness to their experiences. Mark is one of few journalists allowed into Gaza and he takes readers and listeners like us with him. There is much to learn from this conversation and Mark's book, the Holy Land at War  (and more importantly from those actually living within this ongoing struggle).Guest Bio:Mark Patinkin, longtime Providence Journal columnist, is the author of “The Holy Land at War: A Journey Through Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.” Over the decades, Mark has traveled abroad to write about the Lebanon civil war, the first Intifada, the collapse of European communism and now war in the Middle East. Mark was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for international reporting and has honorary degrees from Rhode Island College and Johnson and Wales University. Mark grew up in Chicago, graduated from Middlebury College and currently lives in Providence.Website: https://markpatinkin.comX / Twitter link: https://x.com/markpatinkinInstagram link: https://www.instagram.com/swaglessdad/Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/mark.patinkin.9Youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/@MarkPatinkin-b5oLinkedin link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-patinkin-07263126/Amazon link: https://a.co/d/gqPjWqOWikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Patinkin About Jen Oliver:I pursue and create environments where we converse on the REAL stuff that changes us.

The first Noel reveals profound truths about human frailty and dependence, overturning the myth of self-made independence. Jesus, as a vulnerable infant, required the nurture of others, exposing the illusion that we can thrive on our own. His incarnation also affirms the transformative power of attachment—how community and mutual reliance are essential for strength and redemption. By entering the world as a helpless child, God demonstrates that tenderness, not power, is the path to conquering the world and restoring its beauty.

In this episode, I speak with Stan Welsh, a healthcare provider at the UnitedAg Health and Wellness Center in Salinas, about the transformative power of putting people at the heart of healthcare. We explore the importance of compassion, trust, and meaningful human connections in improving patient outcomes and redefining what it means to provide quality care.Stan shares his insights on how human interaction is often missing in traditional, metrics-driven healthcare settings and how the approach at UnitedAg allows providers to fulfill their desire to make a real difference. We discuss how small yet impactful changes—like showing appreciation and building trust—can create a ripple effect, leading to better patient experiences and long-term growth.Stan and I also dive into practical advice for listeners: the importance of self-care, including regular checkups, a balanced diet, and consistent exercise. Stan stresses the value of simplicity and consistency in maintaining health and well-being. Finally, we discuss how UnitedAg's philosophy of putting people first—not metrics or profit—has tripled its impact, proving that prioritizing human beings at the center of care not only makes business sense but is also a step toward transforming the healthcare system.Tune in for an inspiring conversation about challenging the status quo and the power of human connection in healthcare.This episode is sponsored by UnitedAg,  one of the largest association health plans to offer healthcare to the agriculture industry of California and Arizona.  Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Stan Welsh, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

In this special episode, I reflect on my journey alongside an extraordinary leader and mentor, Veronica Urzua-Alvero, Vice President of Human Resources at Church Brothers Farms, who has been instrumental in shaping not only UnitedAg's organization but also my own approach to leadership. Veronica's roots in agriculture, inspired by her family, set her on a path where she found her true calling in operations and community-building within the ag industry. Her resilience and determination allowed her to rise above challenges and stay focused on her own growth without letting external factors derail her journey.Veronica's strategic thinking and unique insights have shaped UnitedAg's distinct approach, one that doesn't simply follow the industry but stays true to who we are. Through her guidance, I've learned how important it is to view challenges with a long-term perspective, making big-picture decisions that serve the greater good, even if they're tough in the moment.During our conversation, Veronica also shares her shift from a focus on individual achievement to empowering her team, fostering a growth-oriented and purpose-driven environment. We both emphasize the importance of empathy and coaching in leadership, striving to build understanding and resilience within our teams.  We also reflect on the impact of Veronica's leadership, especially in her role at UnitedAg such as serving as the first female chairperson in 2013 and guiding us through significant events like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and COVID-19. Her big-picture vision and risk management skills were essential to building a strong foundation for UnitedAg, setting structures and making decisions that continue to support our organization today. I am deeply grateful for her friendship and leadership. She has not only shaped UnitedAg but has influenced how I lead and live my life, encouraging me to think beyond the immediate and truly value the people and purpose behind our work.

A remarkable story with a remarkable artist. The kind of illustrator who walks into danger to tell people's stories through the power of his art.George Butler is an award-winning illustrator but has reinvented the role of the Artist Reporter drawing conflict zones, climate issues, humanitarian crisis and social issues for the news. His drawings are done in situ - in pen, ink and watercolour.In August 2012 George walked from Turkey across the border into Syria, where as a guest of the rebel Free Syrian Army, he drew the Civil War-damaged, small and empty town of Azaz.  A decade later he spent several days in the Metro in Kharkiv, Ukraine recording the lives of those that lived underground to avoid the Russian bombardment. These drawings can be seen in the National Archive at the V&A Museum.Over the last 15 years George has been commissioned to offer a deliberately slow alternative to the headlines. He attaches his drawings to the personal testimonies of those that he meets and records their resolve and resilience alongside the vulnerability of their situations. This has included in a Leprosy Clinic in Nepal, a militia in Yemen, the Mass Graves in Bucha, a caesarean-section in Afghanistan, the artisanal oil fields of Myanmar and most recently for the Guardian documenting the aftermath of the Earthquake in Turkey and Syria."We seem to have lost the art of the observational reporter with a sketchbook to photography, Butler's memorable images show that a closely observed drawing is not just worth a thousand words but hundreds of photographs."

He shares stories about the year he traveled around the world, being present, honing his craft, mindful storytelling, his first photo exhibition, taking risks, finding balance and more.  I find there is a soulfulness to his art beyond the images themselves.

Cathy reflects on her upbringing in post-communist Romania, her extensive travels through Germany, India, Thailand, and her current life in Prague. She opens up about her struggles with mental health, including depression, anxiety, and a psychotic episode, and how medication played a critical role in her recovery.

This week's topic is not an easy one. First, because it's a significant blindspot to how we experience reality itself, how we experience ourselves and each other. And second, because it's the root to some of our greatest attachments in survival, so it may bring up a lot of activation for you. So we're talking about the greatest human addiction of all - the human story. We human beings are storytelling animals, and the mind itself is a storytelling mechanism. These stories not only define how we think and know of ourselves, but they literally colour and give us our entire experience of our reality, the stories of our family, of our ancestors, of our countries, of love. So let's unpack this great human drug that are the stories that run us. What is Covered: -Why we need stories and how they are connected to our survival-How our attachment to stories block our longing for connection with others-Whose stories are running us and how we absorb them -Identification with stories and the illusion of identity-The alternative to holding on the stories and why we avoid it-The stories of countries and how they create our shared reality-Why we can compare stories to drugs-How we can begin to come out of this blindspot Resources: -Access our '21 days of Expansion' Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/-Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/ -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/ -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender

Ron Howard is one of the most prolific and celebrated filmmakers of the last fifty years. This week, Howard and host Charlotte Alter dive deep into his decades-long career in front of and behind the camera. Howard shares the inspiration behind his latest documentary film, “Jim Henson: Idea Man,” and what drove his decision to chronicle the life and work of a fellow Hollywood legend. The pair explore how Howard's films reflect the eras in which they were made, the complex stories and characters that captivate us all, and why many of Howard's films lack a traditional villain. Howard shares his insights on maintaining optimism in storytelling, balancing a prolific career with parenthood, and the invaluable advice he's received from industry legends. He also discusses how his documentary work enhances his narrative films, the inspiration behind his upcoming film "Eden," and the joy of experiencing his films through the eyes of his grandchildren. Tune in for an intimate look into one of Hollywood's most enduring and beloved minds.  • "Jim Henson: Idea Man" is available on Disney+ on May 31.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Archaeologist David Wengrow is up-ending how we think about human history, from the origins of farming, cities, democracy and slavery to civilisation itself

This week my guest is Kate Damp. Kate and I play tennis together and share a love for all things Disney and running and both of those things combined into one. More importantly, Kate has a story to tell, one involving knowing her own worth and being courageous enough to prove it. Dealing with tremendous loss and how that has affected all areas of her life. And how life is better when we fully embrace our humanness through whatever THAT is.  You will be sure to leave with a bit more insight than you came with.@theyrejusthumanswww.theyrejusthumans.com

This is a reboot of a pocast from the past about the Ascension. Miracles, like the Resurrection and the Ascension, are doors out of this world. Dr. Peter Kreeft, Ph.D, professor of Philosophy at Boston College and a prolific writed wrote. "When you think about it logically, there are two and only two philosophies of life. For either there are or there are not doors in the walls of the world. Either there is Nothing or Something outside Plato's Cave. That sounds very abstract and philosophical. Let me make it very concrete. Two people are walking down a street together. There is an old stone wall on their left, too high to see over. As they approach an intersection, the sidewalk and the wall curve around to their left. As they approach the curve, the first walker is absolutely certain that when they turn the corner they will not see an angel walking through the wall. The second walker is not. Which walker are you? Which would you like to be? Kreeft, Peter. Doors in the Walls of the World: Signs of Transcendence in the Human Story (p. 8). Ignatius Press. Kindle Edition.
