People with mental illness, including bipolar disorder, have long been denied the right to make their own reproductive choices. This episode looks at how psychiatry's history and stigma continue to shape who gets to decide. Dr. Nicole Washington sits down with mental health advocate Dr. Keris Myrick to unpack the intersection of reproductive justice and mental illness — and how stigma, outdated systems, and silence continue to rob people of autonomy over their bodies and futures. Together, they explore the three pillars of reproductive justice — the right to have a child, to not have a child, and to raise a child in a safe environment — through the lens of psychiatric care. Listener takeaways: Learn what a Psychiatric Advance Directive is—and how to create one. Discover how to start meaningful conversations with your providers about family planning. Gain insight into how choice, autonomy, and care can coexist in mental health treatment. Whether you're living with bipolar disorder, a provider, or an advocate, this conversation will challenge your assumptions, break stigma, and offer new ways to protect choice, dignity, and autonomy for all. Our guest, Keris Jän Myrick, PhD (ABD), MBA, MS is a nationally recognized advocate, executive, and storyteller whose work has redefined how we understand and reform mental health and substance use systems. Known for her fierce leadership, creativity, and humanity, Keris brings both lived and learned expertise to every space challenging the status quo and building new paths rooted in dignity and rights. She serves as Senior Vice President of Partnerships and Innovation at Inseparable, where she helps shape mental health policy and practice. Keris also hosts the acclaimed podcast Unapologetically Black Unicorns, co-edits the Lived Experience Inclusion and Leadership column in Psychiatric Services, and serves on the boards of Disability Rights California and the Center for Health Care Strategies. She is an inaugural member of the Global Leadership Exchange (GLE) Lived Experience Council and lives in Los Angeles with her dog, Obi. Our host, Dr. Nicole Washington, is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she attended Southern University and A&M College. After receiving her BS degree, she moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to enroll in the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa. Since completing her residency training, Dr. Nicole has spent most of her career caring for and being an advocate for those who are not typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities, those with severe mental health conditions, and high performing professionals. Through her private practice, podcast, speaking, and writing, she seeks to provide education to decrease the stigma associated with psychiatric conditions. Find out more at DrNicolePsych.com.

For a decade and a half, since President Obama's Pacific Pivot speech, there has been a rising tide in the conversation about the need to fix the US Navy's shortfall to meet the challenge of the People's Republic of China.Faced with systemic and cascading failures in everything from surface ship design to maintenance, and distractions as frivolous as Great Green Fleets at sea and as serious as the Islamic State ashore, navalists have been waiting for serious action on the waterfront to match the rising tide of the strategic situation.Rhetorically at least, the second Trump administration came in saying all the right things to give hope that, at last, we would turn into the wind.Are we?Returning to the Midrats Podcast is Chris Servello, CDR, USN (Ret.), cofounder of Provision Advisors PR Consultancy. SummaryIn this episode of Midrats, Mark, Sal, and Chris Servello discuss the current state of the U.S. Navy, focusing on leadership challenges, the importance of communication, and the need for innovation in naval strategy and technology. They explore the cultural issues within the Navy that hinder progress and the necessity for reform in acquisition processes. The conversation also touches on the role of allied navies and the importance of domestic shipbuilding capabilities in maintaining American sea power.TakeawaysThe Navy is at a critical juncture in reclaiming its sea power.Leadership changes are necessary to address the Navy's challenges.Communication with Congress and the public is vital for naval support.Cultural issues within the Navy contribute to a lack of innovation.The Navy must learn from allied navies and their practices.Acquisition processes need significant reform to be effective.Risk-taking and creativity are essential for naval success.Domestic shipbuilding capabilities must be prioritized over outsourcing.The current political climate affects national security discussions.The Navy's future depends on effective leadership and strategic planning.Chapters00:00: Introduction05:04: Reflections on Naval Strategy and Leadership09:51: Challenges in Navy Leadership and Administration14:47: Comparative Analysis of Military Services19:50: The Importance of Communication and Public Engagement24:51: Innovations in Naval Technology and Acquisition Reform30:07: Concluding Thoughts on Naval Future and Leadership32:18: Navigating Leadership Challenges in the Navy34:28: The State of American Sea Power36:42: Balancing Domestic and Foreign Shipbuilding40:52: The Future of Naval Strategy and Technology45:18: The Role of Congress in Naval Affairs48:32: Innovating Beyond Traditional Naval Constructs51:43: Cultural Barriers to Risk and Innovation56:40: Reviving Experimentation in Naval Programs01:00:07: Learning from Global Naval Practices

In this episode, dermatologist Dr Leona Yip joins Bahar to explore the science and emotion behind hair health. From hormonal influences and the rise of hair shedding, to the emotional toll of hair loss and the latest biotechnologies reshaping treatment options, this conversation breaks down the myths and misinformation that dominate social media. Dr Yip, one of Australia’s leading experts in scalp and hair loss disorders, explains why early intervention matters, how to distinguish thinning from shedding, and what’s emerging in the field of regenerative dermatology. Together, they discuss the growing conversation around hair as a marker of wellbeing, identity, and empowerment. Key Takeaways Hair health has become one of beauty’s most discussed and researched topics. Early intervention is crucial for better long-term outcomes. Social media often oversimplifies complex medical issues around hair loss. Hormones play a role but are not the only factor. Knowing the difference between hair thinning and shedding can shape treatment success. Scalp health is foundational to healthy hair growth. Advanced biotechnologies are creating more precise, evidence-based solutions. Emotional wellbeing and self-image are deeply tied to hair health.

On revient sur le départ annoncé de Yann LeCun, patron de la recherche en IA chez, GPT-5.1, la chute du robot russe AIdol, la chaussette connectée d'Apple : l'actu techno vue depuis Paris et Montréal.Avec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)Yann LeCun claque la porte de MetaLe cofondateur de l'IA moderne quitte Meta après douze ans. Une rupture révélée par le Financial Times qui traduit un désaccord de fond avec Mark Zuckerberg. L'arrivée d'une nouvelle direction plus business-oriented, incarnée par Alexandr Wang (Scale AI), aurait précipité son départ. Yann LeCun pourrait lancer sa propre start-up — une bonne nouvelle pour une IA plus éthique et utile.GPT-5.1 : plus personnalisé, plus utile ?OpenAI corrige le tir après le flop de GPT-5. La version 5.1 promet une IA plus « friendly », avec des vitesses de réponse réglables (Auto, Instant, Thinking) et des interactions plus naturelles. Mais la vraie question reste : à quel prix ? Selon Forbes, faire tourner Sora, le générateur vidéo d'OpenAI, coûterait 15 millions de dollars par jour.Russie : le bide robotiqueLe robot humanoïde russe AIdol s'effondre en direct lors de sa présentation officielle. Une séquence surréaliste qui contraste avec les approches plus prudentes d'acteurs comme Wandercraft (France) ou 1X Technologies (Norvège). Ces entreprises misent sur l'intégration industrielle et l'assistance au quotidien plutôt que sur l'effet d'annonce.Côté smartphone : OnePlus 15, iPhone PocketBruno teste le OnePlus 15 : design soigné, autonomie de deux jours, processeur Qualcomm dernière génération… un excellent rapport qualité/prix.

Een onderneming opstarten, is een ervaring waar je gigantisch veel uit leert, ook als je niet helemaal tot de finish gaat. Neem nu het statuut van student-ondernemer, dat biedt ontzettend veel mogelijkheden om te experimenteren en te leren op jonge leeftijd. Van jongs af kunnen ouders een ondernemende geest stimuleren bij hun kinderen. Badpak vergeten? Zelf oplossen. Van dat uurtje aan de rand van het zwembad te zitten, leren die kinderen meer dan van ouders die nog snel de zwemzak gaan droppen op school. Bij ondernemers vertrekt alles van de facturen. Zo snel mogelijk het factuur uitsturen, achter de betaling van die facturen aan zitten, de juiste prijs berekenen voor een bepaald product of dienstverlening,… Als dat niet goed zit, dan zullen ondernemers belasting betalen op winsten waarvan ze de cash nooit op hun rekening hebben zien verschijnen. Verkopen, verkopen, verkopen is het adagio van veel ondernemerscoaches. De omzet opkrikken van 100.000 euro naar 1 miljoen euro lijkt wel de ultieme doelstelling, terwijl het eigenlijk om de marge draait. Ondernemers hebben beter wat minder omzet, waar ze meer nettowinst van overhouden. De omzet opkrikken kan ook door veel kosten te maken, maar dan hou je aan het einde van de rit weinig of zelfs helemaal geen winst over. De winst is de opbrengsten min de kosten. Je kunt ook je winst verhogen door te snoeien in de kosten. In Trends podcasts vind je alle podcasts van Trends en Trends Z, netjes geordend volgens publicatie.

A few weeks ago, Kelston Boys High School in West Auckland said they were at the front of an unsupported, attempted takeover to turn the school into a charter school. As well as this, more recently, the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport, a charter school set to be established next year, was signed with a trust that did not exist. Amendments have also been made to the Education and Training Act, removing a clause requiring school boards give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The move has seen backlash from the National Iwi Chairs Forum and a growing number of schools, who have launched a petition against the move.  Finally, the controversial Regulatory Standards Bill has passed its third reading and is now set to be implemented into law. The bill previously received 156,000 public submissions, with 98.7% of those voicing their opposition to the bill. For our weekly catch-up with ACT Party's Simon Court, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to him about these topics. They started off by asking Court about Kelston Boys High School and the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport, and how concerning these developments are for the ACT Party.

His journey is a profound testament to post-traumatic growth. After his military service, Jonathan faced a profound period of darkness, grappling with the physical pain of service-connected injuries, the grief of personal loss, and the isolation that led him to the brink of suicide. His path to healing began with a powerful personal intervention and a transformative period in Costa Rica, where he rediscovered golf not just as a game, but as a therapeutic tool for mental wellness and a catalyst for his new mission. Driven by his own experience, Jonathan founded the Warrior Golf Academy to create the supportive community he found lacking. His vision extends far beyond teaching the golf swing. He is building a comprehensive "technical school" for the golf industry, providing veterans and first responders with the skills and connections to build careers as players, caddies, club managers, and agronomy staff. By focusing on belonging, purpose, and tangible career pathways, Jonathan's work directly combats the isolation that leads to the tragic statistic of "22 a day." Today, Jonathan leads a growing movement from the Academy's home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is a certified PGA HOPE instructor and a passionate advocate for leveraging the game's unique disciplines—focus, patience, and incremental improvement—to rewire the mind and heal the spirit. His work ensures that those who have served their country have a welcoming community they can return to, proving that our deepest wounds can indeed become the source of our greatest purpose.

So hab' ich mir das vorgestellt. Redaktionsplan hin oder her. Da trifft mich etwas mitten ins Herz und ich muss darüber sprechen. Als mir vor knapp zwei Wochen eine angenehme Stimme über eine neue Kollaboration zweier mir bekannter Künstler im Stile von Warhol und Basquiat erzählt hat, wusste ich was zu tun ist. Das Gespräch mit Michael Ornater und Clemens Wolf hat viele meiner Fragen beantworten können. Nicht nur über die KI und ihren Einsatz in meinem Betätigungsfeld, sondern auch über Glaube, Vertrauen, Freundschaft und junge Liebe. Seid Ohr jetzt neugierig geworden? Dann hört Euch doch gleich erstmal das Gespräch an. Und dann setzt Euch in den Zug und reist nach Neulengbach, denn dort hat sich Ursula Fischer auf dieses "Experiment" eingelassen. In der Galerie am Lieglweg zeigt sie Arbeiten der beiden! Viel Spaß beim hören und schauen und bitte lasst mich wissen, ob Ihr Euch vor der KI fürchtet... https://www.galerieamlieglweg.at Kontakt: redaktion@gieseundschweiger.at; Website: https://www.gieseundschweiger.at/ ; Redaktion: Fabienne Lubczyk, Lara Bandion; Musik: Matthias Jakisic; Sprecherin: Sarah Scherer; Grafische Gestaltung: Studio Riebenbauer

simple: 1. Generate knowledge 2. Turn it into real-world solutions 3. Repeat—with joyBut instead of pretending that this happens in a perfectly rational system, I want to remind people: it's allowed to be fun.Serious progress can come from play.Deep insight can come from silliness.The point is to keep going, and keep trying—even when it feels pointless.

Two venture capitalists dissect why biotech burns billions while China runs trials in weeks—and why the next Genentech won't look anything like the last one. Elliot Hershberg reveals the "three horsemen" strangling drug development as costs explode to $2.5 billion per approval, while Lada Nuzhna exposes how investigator-initiated trials in Shanghai are rewriting the competitive playbook faster than American founders can file INDs. When the infrastructure that built monoclonal antibodies becomes the commodity threatening to hollow out an entire industry, the only path forward demands inventing medicines that are literally impossible to make without tools that don't exist yet—and they're betting everything on which approach survives. Resources:Follow Jorge on X: https://x.com/JorgeCondeBioFollow Lada on X: https://x.com/ladanuzhnaFollow Elliot on X: https://x.com/ElliotHershbergFollow Erik on X: https://x.com/eriktorenberg Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Mike Pell is an author, an artist and the director of the Microsoft Garage, the worldwide innovation program where he applies “fast design” principles to bring ideas to prototypes quickly. Mike's hackathons scale to include 10,000 participants.  Mike tells the Futurists how artificial intelligence systems accelerate ideation during the innovation process.  The challenge: managing a team of AI agents will require human workers to adapt to entirely new processes and discard some outdated practices. Visualization is one of the key elements in Mike's approach to this process, as conveyed in his recent book, “Visualizing Business”.

From $700 a Month to a $9B Giant: Building Life360 with Chris Hulls What happens when a founder ignores the “safe path,” bets on himself, and keeps going long after most people would've quit? In this episode of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, Jess sits down with Chris Hulls — Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Life360, the world's largest family safety platform with 90+ million monthly active users and a public valuation approaching $9 billion. Chris's journey is anything but conventional. He went from growing up in a small farm town… to enlisting in the Air Force at 17… to almost becoming a dishwasher at the South Pole… to dropping out of Harvard Business School… to living in a friend's closet on $700/month while building the first version of Life360. But the real story is what came next: —a category-defining pivot from disaster response to family location sharing, —launching on Android before anyone believed teens would ever have smartphones, —surviving seven slow years before meaningful traction, —and ultimately building a platform that detects car crashes, dispatches tens of thousands of ambulances a year, and has become a “social network for families.” Chris and Jess go deep into what it actually takes to scale from zero to multi-billion-dollar market cap: the messy pivots, the lucky breaks, the conviction bets, why too much “data-driven thinking” kills innovation, and why founders must learn to hold two opposing truths at once — relentless belief and complete surrender to the chaos. This is a conversation for founders, leaders, and anyone who wants to understand the real psychology behind building something massive from scratch. Learn more about your ad choices.

"The More You Know" - Robin Deal A million-gallon-a-day perspective, distilled into actionable steps. Robin Deal, AquaPure Product Manager at Hubbard-Hall unpacks how seasoned pros can squeeze more performance—and less sludge—out of industrial wastewater systems without compromising compliance or plant uptime.    From "clear water in a jar" to stable discharge in the field  Robin details a practical jar-testing workflow: start from upstream processes, target pH using hydroxide/sulfide solubility curves, choose the right coagulant (aluminum, iron, calcium, lanthanum, or organics), and validate against metals/COD/BOD/phosphorus before scaling. The test bench isn't the finish line; it's the feasibility gate when you're treating 150,000+ gpd.  Lean wastewater: cost center or controllable system?  Commodity choices (lime, alum, ferric) can generate 70–85% more sludge than optimized blends—driving hazardous waste hauling, clogging lines, and shortening pump life. Robin reframes the "penny-per-pound" price war into a total-system economics conversation: sludge recyclability, maintenance cycles, and realistic break-even targets.  PFAS: remove now, plan to destroy  For hex-chrome platers and other industrial dischargers, Robin shares near-term and emerging options: carbon filtration for immediate removal, evaporation/condensation where capital exists, and destruction pathways under evaluation—advanced oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, "thermobotic agglomeration," and ball milling—with an eye on evolving limits and cost realities.  One Water thinking for manufacturers  "Water is water." Robin introduces the One Water mindset for plant leaders: tighten internal loops, reduce community draw and discharge impact, and align non-contact, potable, and wastewater under one stewardship model. It's not a club—it's a decision framework that's already influencing global brands and drought-stressed regions.  Treat each round of testing as a hypothesis check, each chemical as a system lever, and each gallon as a shared resource. That's how leaders turn compliance into predictable results.

COP30, which began this week in Belém, Brazil, marks a decade since the Paris Agreement was adopted at COP21 in 2015. It's being billed as the “implementation COP”: instead of grand new announcements of international agreements, governments are supposed to be focused on delivering on the commitments they have already made. Host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe welcome back Amy Harder, National Energy Correspondent at Axios. She says not every COP is created equally, and “this is definitely one of those COPs that are more of an ebb than a flow.”But that said, it doesn't mean COP30 will inevitably be unproductive. Amy Myers Jaffe, who is the Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, argues that COP30 “could wind up over time being seen as a more successful meeting than people are currently thinking it will be.”Instead of a new comprehensive global framework, the objectives for this year's talks will be a series of smaller-scale sectoral initiatives: scaling sustainable fuels, tackling industrial emissions, protecting forests, and aligning private capital with policy goals. The Energy Gang also welcomes to the show for the first time Lisa Jacobson, who is President of the Business Council for Sustainable Energy. She joins the show from Brazil to give the boots on the ground view as the conference begins. Previous COPs have generally put the mosh emphasis on government action. Lisa says that a focus on what's good for business might be a better way to spur change. Clean energy technologies are winning in many markets around the world because they make commercial sense. Policy can be helpful, but is it ultimately the business case that has to be what pushes the energy transition forward? Ed, Amy, Amy and Lisa debate the changes to US energy and climate policy, China's emissions trajectory, the global impact of EU measures, and how much of the clean energy build-out is now driven by economics rather than politics. And they wonder whether there is a central paradox in global climate policy. If the future of energy will be decided by market forces and national interests, not by anything that happens at COP30, is that a sign that the series of past COPs has been a success? We've got more coverage of COP30 coming soon, so make sure you're following us for all the key news and insight from Brazil.
