"We're seeing hurricanes, four of the 10 most damaging hurricanes in the United States happened in the last 10 years. Recovery and rebuild continues in many cases. Last year we had the world's most expensive wildfire on record in Los Angeles. These are market failures. Why are these things happening? Something is misaligned. Is it we're not taking care of the natural environment? Is it that our built environment, our buildings and our structures are not able to cope? Where are the policies? Where are the updated building codes?...Now these storms are happening more frequently and with greater intensity and impacting a lot more people, people, communities, companies. It's across the U.S. Everybody's being impacted. So that's the market failure. So how do we fix this?" Kanika Singh on Electric Ladies Podcast Every community in the U.S. and across the globe is now at risk from the ravages of climate change. What is your community doing to prepare? Kanika Singh calls these damages "market failures" because the market did not protect you/us from the damages. How? Listen to Kanika Singh, Director of Innovative Finance at the Milken Institute in this enlightening conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. (You'll want to take notes.) You'll hear about: ● How to identify the market failures in your community, area or region. ● What the role and risk is of insurance companies in today's physical, economic and political climate. ● Financial resources you might tap to make your homes and buildings more climate-resilient (including parts of the Inflation Reduction Act & Infrastructure Act that are still intact). ● How to rebuild differently so your homes, businesses, schools etc. are more resilient. ● Plus, career advice, such as: " Don't hesitate. Trust your gut…Try everything. Try what's out there, go for a walk. Clear your brain. The outdoors always helps. You will find something, and if you don't the first time around, that's still okay because we are getting chances…. Look, learn, but don't be afraid to take a chance, and if it doesn't work out, it's okay. I think we hold ourselves to very high and perhaps exacting standards of success sometimes. And that's not human. It's okay to be human." Kanika Singh on Electric Ladies Podcast Subscribe to our newsletter to receive our podcasts, blog, events and special coaching offers.

TIME Magazine - Enertia® Homes Their Company Slogan - "Your House Should Take Care of You......... Not the Other Way Around!" My spotlight is on Green Living Because of A LOT of Talk this Year About Global Warming & the Eco-System.Enertia Homes recieved an Energy Efficiency Award from the US Department of Energy. Enertia® Homes use an ingenious design, and the science of materials, to heat and cool buildings without fuel or electricity. Fitted with Photovoltaic panels, and a metal seamed roof, homes can be self-reliant for heating, cooling, electricity, water and food. This is a modern Building System, an integrated group of innovations and a construction technique so basic, yet amazing and effective, it has been called a Modern Marvel- A Time Magazine Invention of the Year & Zayed Future Energy Prize, "Innovative Structure of the Century Award", AWPI Century's Best Award. These are not conventional “stick-frame” single-generation houses. The walls are solid wood, and the design life is hundreds of years. Comfort is by design and from a unique structural material, not from a mechanical/ electric compressor or furnace. The roof can generate electricity and capture water. The sun space harvests energy, and in it you can harvest food. Most have a built-in "biosphere" modeled after planet Earths' that draws energy from the sun, and geothermal stability from the ground, creating a temperate climate that buffers the primary living space. Your personal Greenhouse Effect warms your house in winter. Naturally-induced air currents cool it in summer. "When we started 30 years ago the terms Bio-mimicry, Green Building, Carbon Sequestration, and Life-Cycle Analysis did not exist. Enertia® homes pioneered these goals that others are still striving to achieve." ~ Enertia.com © 2026 All Rights Reserved© 2026 BuildingAbundantSuccess!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBAS

Chronic shame, developmental trauma, healing in community, and why the future of therapy depends on therapists embracing their own growth. This week, we're sharing a conversation originally recorded for The Innovative Therapist with Shawn Hondorp. What started as a typical podcast interview quickly became a conversation that helped me better understand my own work (thank you very much!) We talk about how chronic shame disconnects us from our agency, why therapists need to be honest about power dynamics, and what happens when we stop trying to "arrive" at healing and instead embrace the lifelong journey of becoming. In this episode: Why personal power and agency are essential to healing from developmental trauma How therapists unintentionally recreate harmful power dynamics in therapy and workplace settings The connection between chronic shame and self-abandonment Why therapists must prioritize their own healing work How creativity, play, spirituality, and community can become powerful pathways to transformation If you've ever felt frustrated by the limitations of traditional therapy, exhausted by workplace dynamics, or curious about what authentic healing really looks like, I think you'll find something meaningful here.

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/ When Sipho Kings and his co-founder Simon Allison launched The Continent in 2020, they wanted to rethink how journalism is distributed online. Instead of chasing search traffic and social algorithms, they created a weekly PDF newspaper designed specifically for smartphones and distributed it through platforms like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and email. The idea was to bring back the simplicity of a curated newspaper while adapting it to how people actually consume information today. Six years later, The Continent reaches tens of thousands of readers across Africa and around the world. In a recent interview, Kings explained how the publication grew entirely through word of mouth, why its unusual PDF format created a deeper relationship with readers, and how it's building a sustainable media business outside the traditional web ecosystem.

In this episode we discuss motorcycle tires and tell you the best one, in our opinion. We have had the opportunity to test many. Lurch and I talk about the Harley-Davidson OEM Dunlop, Michelin Commander III, American Eagle (now referred to as AE2), and Metzeler CruiseTec (current OEM tire for Indian Motorcycle). Which one do we think is the best? Listen and find out. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The Metzeler CruiseTec motorcycle tire delivers a strong balance of grip, stability, and long-distance comfort for riders who want modern performance from a cruiser or touring tire. Designed for heavyweight V-twin motorcycles, the CruiseTec stands out with impressive wet-weather traction and confident cornering characteristics that many riders don't typically expect from a cruiser-focused tire. The dual-compound rear construction helps provide solid mileage while still maintaining excellent edge grip, making the tire feel planted during aggressive riding and smooth during highway touring. Riders often report noticeably improved handling response compared to older-generation cruiser tires, especially on bikes like Harley-Davidson touring models and Indian motorcycles. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Another major strength of the CruiseTec is ride quality and predictability. The tire warms up quickly, tracks well through sweeping turns, and remains stable at freeway speeds even when carrying luggage or a passenger. Road feedback is confidence inspiring without feeling harsh, and the tread pattern does an effective job evacuating water in rainy conditions. While some riders may find that ultra-high-mileage touring tires last slightly longer, the CruiseTec generally earns praise for prioritizing performance and rider confidence without sacrificing durability. For motorcycle enthusiasts who want a tire that combines sporty handling with touring comfort, the Metzeler CruiseTec is widely considered one of the top choices in the V-twin tire category.

Episode summary In this episode of Healthcare Beans, James speaks with Paula Muto, MD, founder of UBERDOC, about the barriers patients face in accessing specialty care and how direct-pay models may help reshape the healthcare system. Paula shares the story behind UBERDOC, discusses the growth of the platform, and reflects on broader themes including patient autonomy, price transparency, rural access, the shortcomings of managed care, and the role of technology in modern care delivery. What we cover Why Paula Muto founded UBERDOC The access and affordability problems the company was built to address How direct-pay specialty care can strengthen the doctor-patient relationship Why traditional healthcare systems often create friction and delay The rise of direct primary care and adjacent care models Managed care, patient autonomy, and the consequences of delayed treatment Price transparency as a tool for patient empowerment New approaches to rural healthcare access Technology's role in improving navigation and care delivery Direct pay, Medicare innovation, and new ideas around appointment access Chapter breakdown 00:00 Introduction to UBERDOC and Dr. Paula Muto01:20 The birth of UBERDOC: solving for access and affordability04:38 The growth of UBERDOC: from 40 to 5,000 doctors07:18 Empowering patients through the doctor-patient relationship09:43 Technology's role in modern healthcare11:35 The inefficiencies of traditional healthcare systems14:17 The rise of direct primary care17:04 The challenges of managed care and patient autonomy18:23 A personal story: the consequences of delayed care19:17 The exodus in healthcare20:47 Price transparency and patient empowerment23:24 Innovative solutions for rural healthcare25:56 The role of technology in patient care27:33 Challenges in the medical profession29:04 Direct pay and Medicare innovations31:31 Appointment banking and patient access Guest bio Paula Muto, MD is the founder of UBERDOC, a platform designed to improve access to specialty care through transparent, direct-pay appointments. A practicing physician and healthcare entrepreneur, she has focused her work on reducing barriers between patients and doctors while rethinking how care can be delivered more efficiently and affordably. Key takeaways Access remains one of the most persistent failures in healthcare delivery. Direct-pay specialty care offers an alternative to traditional referral and reimbursement pathways. Price transparency can give patients more agency and reduce confusion. Technology can improve care access, but only if it supports stronger doctor-patient relationships rather than more bureaucracy. New care models may not fully replace the current system, but they can expose where the system is no longer working well. Godspeed.. James

As the global economy has grown increasingly competitive, interest in career and technical education (CTE) has experienced a resurgence among policymakers and educators as a way to ensure that more students leave school prepared for well-paying jobs. Innovative new programs at both the secondary and postsecondary education levels seek to give students technical training for specific careers, durable skills training to prepare them for the workforce, and work-based learning opportunities where they can get hands-on experience and develop connections to employers and the workforce. In this episode, Leigh Parise talks with Kate Kreamer, Executive Director of Advance CTE, the national nonprofit that represents state CTE directors and state leaders of career and technical education. They discuss how CTE has evolved, how it can meet the needs of learners in a changing labor market, and where more research is needed.

Our focus today is on the search for the geriatrician identity, a continuation of the conversation we started with Jerry Gurtwitz on the Future of Geriatrics. Today's conversation is prompted by multiple articles in JAGS: (1) an article by Jerry Gurwitz with a title the same as this podcast; (2) an article by Helen Fernandez on "Med-Geri", a new combined 4 year internal medicine residency and geriatrics fellowship track; and (3) an article by Mary Tinetti titled, "Mainstream or Extinction: Can Defining Who We Are Save Geriatrics?" Of note, Mary's article is a follow up to her 2017 article in JAGS in which she wrote: Those outside the field have difficulty understanding what geriatrics is and what geriatricians do. We contribute to this lack of clarity. We are experts in complexity but are often bad at communicating simply. Our well-intentioned efforts to be inclusive and comprehensive lead to the creation of long, complex descriptions of what we do that further compromises understanding while eroding interest in, and support of, our field. Today we tackle this problem, discussing: A "funny if it wasn't so painful" video and JAGS article in which geriatricians from Johns Hopkins roamed the streets of Baltimore asking lay people "What is a geriatrician?" The responses (something to do with Ben and Jerry's ice cream? Jury-atrician?) will make you laugh and cry at the same time. 4 different types of geriatricians as described by Jerry in his JAGS paper: the complexivist, the healthful longevitist, the syndromist, and the contextualist. As with the 4Ms, Ken couldn't help but add a 5th, the "identityist", arguing that maybe Geriatricians worry too much in public about their identity, and should instead focus in public on what unites them: shared sense of purpose and mission to focus on whole person care and what matters most to older adults. Ken gave a rousing talk on being a Geriatrician at the Society of General Internal Medicine that received a lengthy standing-ovation (and a Cubs Jersey with his name on it). Innovative new programs such as Med-Geri and GeriPal fellowship as ways to bring more people into the profession. How to balance our effort between recruiting specialist geriatricians to the profession and teaching all clinicians geriatrics principles and skills. A paper in JAGS by Richard G. Stefanacci and Ankur Patel in JAGS making the argument that a geriatrician "yields per-patient annual net cost savings of approximately $3495 (specialist consultation avoidance +$1500; ED reduction +$45; hospitalization reduction +$1950)..." and "The reason fee-for-service fails geriatricians is not that their skills are wrong for primary care—it is that the payment model is wrong for their skills. Payvider programs operating under capitation invert every structural disadvantage of fee-for-service. Under capitation, there are no RVUs. There is no penalty for spending 40 min with a complex patient. There is no revenue loss when the patient is dual-eligible rather than commercially insured—the capitated payment is the same regardless of original coverage source. And every unnecessary specialist referral, every avoidable hospitalization, every ED visit that could have been managed in-house represents a cost to the organization rather than a revenue stream."

In this episode of Pharmacy Focus, moderator Bob Haight, PharmD, BCPP, AAPP Annual Meeting director and past president of American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists (AAPP), discusses the AAPP 2026 Annual Meeting with Archana Jhawar, PharmD, BCPP, clinical assistant professor at the University of Illinois Chicago; and Chelsea Di Polito, PharmD, BCPP, psychiatric clinical pharmacist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. The discussion centers on emerging trends in psychiatric pharmacotherapy across diverse practice settings. A major focus is on newer psychiatric medications, including sublingual dexmedetomidine for acute agitation, which offers a novel, patient-friendly administration route and potential benefits for inpatient care. Additional discussion covers agents like lumateperone and xanomeline-trospium, with attention to their safety profiles, tolerability, and evolving roles in treatment. The speakers emphasize the importance of real-world experience in determining how these newer therapies fit into clinical decision-making, especially given considerations like cost, monitoring requirements, and patient-specific factors.The episode also explores cutting-edge research and practice challenges, including the growing interest in GLP-1 receptor agonists for substance use disorders. While still considered “unproven but promising,” early data suggest these agents may reduce addictive behaviors by modulating reward pathways rather than through traditional metabolic effects. Additional highlights include evolving strategies for clozapine monitoring following REMS changes, where pharmacists play a central role in balancing safety and access, and advancements in long-acting injectable antipsychotics that improve flexibility, adherence, and patient-centered care. Across all topics, a consistent theme emerges: the expanding range of treatment options requires clinicians to stay informed, adaptable, and focused on individualized care. The speakers conclude that AAPP's annual meeting provides a valuable forum for translating emerging evidence into practical strategies that can be immediately applied in clinical practice.Read more about the AAPP here: https://aapp.org/ed/meeting/2026Additional information on the AAPP Annual meeting can be found here: https://aapp.org/ Key Takeaways: New psychiatric treatments are expanding options but require real-world context. Emerging therapies—such as sublingual dexmedetomidine, lumateperone, and xanomeline-trospium—offer novel mechanisms, improved tolerability, and alternative administration routes. However, clinicians are still determining where these agents fit in practice, making shared clinical experience and practical insights critical for informed use. Innovative research is reshaping how clinicians think about psychiatric and substance use treatment. GLP-1 receptor agonists are gaining attention for substance use disorders, with early evidence suggesting they may reduce addictive behaviors by acting on reward pathways. While still investigational, this highlights a broader shift toward targeting underlying neurobiology rather than just symptoms. Pharmacists play a central role in navigating evolving care models and improving patient outcomes. From optimizing clozapine monitoring after REMS changes to implementing long-acting injectable antipsychotics, pharmacists are key in balancing safety, access, adherence, and education. Their involvement is essential as treatment options become more complex and patient-centered.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpet performer, composer and designer Thomas Gansch, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Thomas Gansch Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here From his groundbreaking Mnozil Brass to his original take on a rotary valve trumpet, the "Gansch Horn," Thomas Gansch has made an indelible impact on professional music. Thomas joins us today to share his musical journey from a young boy, surrounded by instruments in a musician's family, to becoming a prominent trumpet player in Austria and beyond. He opens up quite honestly about his struggles with classical music education, and family expectations, before eventually making his transition towards jazz, which he embraced as part of his wide-range of musical interests. Growing up as the son of renowned Austrian composer Johann Gansch, and as the much younger brother of Hans Gansch, a prominent trumpet soloist and professor himself (and principal trumpeter of the Vienna Philharmonic), there was a lot of push and pull as both brothers sought their own place of identity, creativity and freedom to pursue their musical dreams. It was through humor and originality that Thomas truly found his wings, particularly with the Mnozil Brass septet, considered the "Monty Python of the musical world." Going strong since 1992, Mnozil forms just part of Thomas' busy schedule that comprises all sorts of musical styles and groups. And he gives us a tour of the original Gansch Horn, a rotary trumpet that can be played with one hand, which gives it its distinctive arced bell shape. Thomas worked directly with the noted Austrian manufacturer Schagerl in the early 2000's to create the horn that has become his identity. From practice routines to juggling gigs, jamming with Wynton Marsalis and Jerry Hey to looking after your body and mind, this is a wonderful conversation of breadth and inspiration! About Thomas Gansch: Thomas Gansch, born in 1975, has always successfully eluded any categorisation. Whether in the formation "Mnozil Brass", which he co-founded and with which he has been performing around the world for thirty years, in the legendary "Vienna Art Orchestra", as a soloist with a large orchestra or as part of a family theatrical ensemble with his wife Theresia and the joint programme "Doppelgansch", whether as a composer, arranger, compere, pop singer, big band leader or brass band conductor, the native of Lower Austria does not allow himself to be confined to any musical genre. He likes to summarise all varieties of his art under the term "music" that "either touches him or doesn't touch him" in order to put all prejudices to one side and to give listeners an intuitive approach to listening. Various projects have taken Gansch to over 45 countries and his first musical experiences in the brass band of his father Johann Gansch S. (1925 - 1998), which he - in the spirit of the gifted improviser - always integrates directly into his work. Today, Gansch draws on his wealth of artistic experience and also brings his engaging personality to every project, from symphony orchestras to chamber music ensembles, from jazz to new music, from pop acts to musical theatre and comedy programmes, into his performances. There are no hierarchies in his understanding of art, and so he manages to inspire and "pick up" the audience again and again.

Dr. Steven Siepser shares a compelling journey from his early fascination with medicine to becoming a highly skilled ophthalmologist and entrepreneur. His career path was shaped by curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to pursue opportunity, from studying abroad to pivoting specialties into ophthalmology. He ultimately built a thriving solo practice by leveraging early expertise in emerging technologies like intraocular lenses and LASIK, positioning himself ahead of many peers. The conversation highlights both the rewards and risks of entrepreneurship in medicine, particularly through Dr. Siepser's experience with practice ownership and commercial real estate. While his clinical success led to expansion and investment in a large medical facility, external factors such as 9/11, economic downturns, and rising interest rates significantly impacted his financial outcomes. His story serves as a cautionary tale about leverage, market timing, and the unpredictability of macroeconomic forces. Dr. Siepser's latest venture, VisionLock (now SightAssure), represents an innovative approach to patient confidence and physician differentiation through outcome-based insurance. By identifying top-tier surgeons and insuring their results, the model enhances trust while creating a premium positioning for providers. Although initial scaling challenges and undercapitalization slowed progress, he is relaunching the concept with a more robust financial and structural strategy, emphasizing the importance of execution, funding, and timing in entrepreneurial success. 3 Key Takeaways Clinical excellence can create entrepreneurial opportunity, but business success requires different skills and risk management. Real estate investments in medical practices carry risk, especially when tied to economic cycles and interest rate changes. Innovative business models—like outcome insurance—can differentiate physicians and improve patient trust but require strong capitalization and scalability planning.

Intellectual property is one of the – if not the – greatest assets a business can own. Innovative companies need to carefully identify and protect their IP assets in order to maximize their value over their terms of protection.

In this episode, we tackle one of the hottest debates in the Harley-Davidson community: throwaway paper motorcycle oil filters versus reusable motorcycle oil filters. We break down the confusion surrounding micron ratings, nominal versus absolute filtration, and why comparing one filter's numbers to another without context can be misleading. Instead of getting lost in internet comment wars, this episode explains oil filtration in plain biker language so everyday riders can make smarter maintenance decisions with confidence. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE We also take a close look at two of the most talked-about reusable options on the market: the Figurati and the PC Racing FLO oil filters. From stainless mesh filtration and cooling fins to magnetic debris capture and serviceable designs, we compare what each system brings to the table. We discuss why oil flow matters just as much as filtration, how overly restrictive filters can create problems, and why reusable filters have been trusted in racing and demanding applications for decades. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Finally, we bust the common myth that aftermarket oil filters automatically void your Harley warranty, explaining what federal law and Harley's own warranty language actually say. We also explore the added benefits of inspectable filters, magnetic dipsticks, and building a complete contamination-control system for your motorcycle. Whether you're already running a reusable filter or just curious about making the switch, this episode gives you the facts you need—without the hype—so you can stop stressing over microns and get back to riding.

There's an old Latin saying about some of the famous male founders of religious orders. In translation, it goes like this: “Bernard loved the valleys; Benedict loved the mountains; Francis the towns; Ignatius loved great cities.” So it's probably no surprise that in the U.S., no city has more Jesuit schools than New York, which has nine total across all the educational levels. Our guest today, James Kennedy, is an alum of one of these schools – Regis High School, where he also taught and led fundraising efforts – and the current president of another. James is in his third year leading Brooklyn Jesuit Prep, which is a middle school serving low-income families of diverse races, ethnicities and faiths in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn. BJP currently serves 100 students, both boys and girls, in grades 5 through 8. The entire student population is composed of students of color and 74% of them are either immigrants or first-generation Americans. Host Mike Jordan Laskey asked James to talk about the school's history and what makes it a special place. James also discussed how anti-immigrant polices and attitudes across our country today are affecting the BJP community and how they're responding. It was a fascinating conversation about both Brooklyn Jesuit Prep and urban pre-secondary education more broadly. You'll be struck by James' passion and depth of insight.
