Different than the external act of going into facilities where there is no union and attempting to start one—Internal Organizing is fundamentally about building a union culture in your workplace where, when given the choice to belong or opt out of the Union, workers would ultimately desire to be a part of it. This is the only way to strengthen our Local Unions against the rising threat of Right-to-Work laws. Learn how BCTGM local Unions are doing it in the Right to Work states of Indiana, Kentucky and Oklahoma. We hear from:  David Woods, BCTGM International Secretary-Treasurer/Director of Organization Clint Lathrop, BCTGM Local 372A (Indianapolis, Ind.) Business Agent Rob Gaskins, BCTGM Local 57 (Columbus, Ohio) Business Agent Karlos Brothers, BCTGM Local 366G (Oklahoma City, Okla.) President Darian Haggins, BCTGM 366G (Oklahoma City, Okla.) Vice President with historical clips from former BCTGM Director of Organization John Price We dedicate this episode to our late Organizing Director John Price, who dedicated his entire working life to helping workers organize with the BCTGM. We will continue the fight in his honor. 

Are you Cold Weather prepared at home? We had a close call, hear how to stay warm and protect your home! Plus we tackle foods to serve and what not to have on this funny Christmas episode! Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News!   Episode 216 Details Be Prepared for Utility Outages 1. Test Emergency Equipment Regularly Ensure that your backup heating equipment, portable generators, or other devices are tested and in working order before an outage occurs. This includes checking the hoses used to hook up to propane heaters such as a portable Buddy Heater! 3. Check in With Neighbors & Report Outage Call or text neighbors to confirm the outage. Check if anyone, especially the elderly or vulnerable, needs assistance. A group report of the outage can prompt quicker action from utility providers. 4. Conserve Heat in Your Home To minimize heat loss: Close doors to unused rooms. Place towels under doors to block drafts. Keep curtains closed to retain indoor heat. How to Prevent Pipes From Freezing During a Power Outage Frozen pipes can burst, causing costly property damage. Here's how to protect your pipes: Insulate Your Pipes Ahead of Time Pipes running through unheated spaces, such as basements, garages, or external walls, are most at risk. Insulating them is the best long-term solution to prevent freezing. Short-Term Steps to Protect Pipes If pipes aren't insulated, take these actions during an outage: Open Cabinet Doors: Allow warm air to circulate around pipes under sinks. Let Water Trickle: Keep faucets slightly open to allow a slow, steady flow. Moving water is less likely to freeze. Well Water Users: Plan Ahead If you rely on a well, remember that you won't have running water without electricity. Store an emergency water supply for drinking and household use. Backup Power Source: Portable Generators Having a portable generator is a reliable way to power essential appliances during an outage. Here's what to consider: Fuel Supply: Stock enough fuel for several days. Proper Ventilation: Operate the generator outdoors to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Essential Devices: Use the generator to power heaters, refrigerators, or medical equipment. Important Safety Considerations During an Outage Medical Needs If you depend on electricity for medical devices, develop a backup plan with your healthcare provider. Ensure you have access to power sources or alternate locations. Carbon Monoxide Safety Generators, kerosene heaters, and other alternate heat sources must have proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. Always: Use generators outside. Install carbon monoxide detectors with battery backups. Never use grills, stoves, or ovens for indoor heating.

The woman was walking with a cane when she placed it on an X-ray machine.  TSA officials stopped the machine and removed the cane. They pulled it apart and determined it was a cane sword where the blade is concealed inside the core of the cane.  Army Of 50 Inflatable Santa's Take Over Town The NY Post says an army of 50 giant inflatable Santas has taken over residents' front lawns in Lehi, Utah. Visitors driving through the neighborhoods say The Santas just kept coming with every turn, leaving everyone laughing so hard. Residents are embracing the holiday spirit in a big way with the imposing matching decorations. Coloradans Vote Down a Big Cat Hunting Ban: A Win for Hunters & Conservationists Colorado voters rejected a proposed hunting ban on mountain lions, lynx, and bobcats in a significant win for hunters and conservationists. The measure, Prop 127, would have banned hunting and trapping of these animals and limited the state wildlife management experts' authority.  The proposal was seen as a potential gateway to more hunting bans and a shift away from science-based wildlife management. The ban failed by a margin of over 55%, with 1.3 million "no" votes against 1.1 million "yes" votes. The opposition, including hunters and conservationists, argued that the decision should remain with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, not through public ballots. Wildlife professionals also expressed concern that the ban could set a troubling precedent for future wildlife management decisions. This vote follows the controversial 2020 approval of a gray wolf reintroduction, showing that Colorado voters are closely watching wildlife policy.

NASA is worried the toots could cause an explosion in the confined International Space Station. Baked beans, cabbage, and broccoli are also off the menu to prevent a potential blast.

Poverty is a great motivator for many people to get their ass in gear. For most, it has become a mindset they've taken with them well into their lives, never progressing beyond where they started. At every turn, they seem to attract relationships that destroy them, their finances, and any chance of climbing to a magnificent life of abundance.  Trevor Cowley is a serial entrepreneur, co-founder of Easier Accounting, Founder of 60-Day Credit Repair, Owner of 2 Franchises: Everbowl and Hello Sugar, and he's involved in 8 other businesses as well. He's also the co-host of one of the most powerful podcasts out in business today: Real Business Owners. Pedro takes a deep dive with Trevor on the game of life discussing poverty, living below your means, drugs, and the process of cleansing your mind and spirit so one can truly decide what it is they want out of this life. Trevor shares his journey to an actual mountain where he sweated out his 7-year addiction to drugs.  He talks candidly about what he was willing to do to pull himself out of a rough start in life. Pedro and Trevor discuss technology, raising children, working, living well below your means, and using your financial resources to invest as opposed to living in the life you truly want to live.    What You'll Learn: The power of delayed gratification in obtaining material things  Trevor's first job in sales and what he was willing to do How Trevor broke his cycle from poverty to drugs, to becoming a serial entrepreneur How to leverage your money to make more within 4 short months  Insulating your net worth by doing 3 simple things  Why society is headed for darker days if they don't take control of the attention of their children  The type of car Trevor drives (Hint: It's not a Lambo or a McLaren) Why we label and judge people and the things people  What Elon Musk did with the $190M he got when he sold PayPal and part of the journey he took before he hit it as the World's Richest Man  How to make specific sacrifices to compound wealth and a lifestyle never imagined in the future starting today And much more!    FAVORITE QUOTE: “There's a lot of people making $150,000-$200,000 a year that are living off of that. They don't make any investments and they're living paycheck to paycheck.  They have all the houses, the vacations, the cars, the trucks, the boats, you know all the cool stuff, so it looks like they're making millions of dollars, but they really make $200,000 per year and they're living like they make $200,000 per year. But if that individual took a backseat to the lifestyle for 5 years, they might not ever have to work again.” -Trevor Cowley   Connect with Trevor: Easier Accounting  Real Business Owners Podcast   How to Get Involved:  From rock bottom and $500 to his name, Pedro Meneses moved to the US, leaving everything behind seeking answers to turn his life around, becoming an entrepreneur, and thriving in business.

Despite how consistently and relentlessly the boys have dissed ICFs, this episode takes ICFs seriously and fairly (or as best as Jake, Steve, and Pete are capable of...).Pete's Resource(s)1. "Costs & Benefits of Insulating Concrete Forms for Residential Construction" (https://www.huduser.gov/publications/pdf/icfbenefit.pdf): A bit dated but still useful given that the PATH program (Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing) is a decent backdrop for a fair analysis of this building technology.2. "Air Leakage of Insulated Concrete Form Houses" (https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/72627): Interesting that this energy modeling research reports less than significant air leakage advantage of ICFs compared to wood frame single-family houses.

Let's cut to the chase. You've gotten to the point where you have a gang of physicians/clinicians/physician practices who have expressed a desire to work together. What do you need to know right now? Eric Gallagher, CEO of the Ochsner Health Network, is my guest in this healthcare podcast; and I largely asked him the same question that I had asked Amy Scanlan, MD, from the UCHealth/Intermountain clinically integrated network in Colorado in episode 402 a couple of weeks ago. The question I asked both Eric and Dr. Scanlan is: What are you doing to help align physician practices into an integrated model? How are you going about that? Now, let me remind you, Ochsner Health Network is practically long in the tooth when it comes to clinically integrated networks; and it also exists in an environment that is unique, as are most local markets. But Ochsner's local market is mostly Louisiana, which has an older population and a huge Medicare Advantage penetration. That is quite a different local market from what's going on in Colorado, which is the location of Dr. Scanlan's joint. As we all know, different stages of any journey require different solution sets; and different local markets certainly require different solution sets. But what was so interesting to me was to notice that despite the market differences and the where-are-we-in-the-transformation-journey differences, how many of the things that you'll hear about in this episode are in the same spirit as the stuff that we talked about in that earlier show with Dr. Scanlan. Eric Gallagher lists three things that he says are essential in the transformation journey: 1. Making sure that physicians, care teams, and those working directly with patients are part of the transformation process, both from a practice standpoint but then also from a financial standpoint. This makes so much sense when I state it explicitly here, but so frequently, it doesn't happen. So frequently there's a value-based care team that tinkers around in a silo and then an announcement comes over the loudspeaker one day that henceforth we shall add some more clicks … but trust us, it's important for some reason we aren't going to bother to tell you about … you'd be bored by it or you wouldn't understand it. Even if this was not the intention (and it probably wasn't), the result is going to be the bad taste in your mouth that I just left you with. Eric Gallagher's #1 here, that everybody be part of the transformation, might be the umbrella really over the first thing that Dr. Scanlan talked about in that earlier episode, which was to make sure to give practices the tools that they need to succeed—not what you think they need but what you've discerned they actually need because you've listened to them. It's a bidirectional exchange here with everybody working together. Eric adds some new ground to that. He says that to make sure that everybody can productively contribute to this transformation process (and probably know what tools they may need), it's vital that everybody understands the “why” behind what the organization needs to do, meaning educating physicians and other clinicians in the business of medicine and the financial reasons for the “why” with the whatever. Insulating docs from the real world here helps no one, and it's not really viable actually in the world that we live in today … … which is a callback to the point that Denver Sallee, MD, made also in episode 402, which, in a nutshell, was that he thinks that unless docs, as a gang, start learning a lot more about the business of medicine, that we'll continue to see this value extraction and financial toxicity and moral injury–inducing environments that we see right now. Dr. Sallee wrote, “I needed more education in order to truly help patients.” So, let me posit that this “everybody works together and gets educated together” step can help the practice and help patients in a myriad of ways, both at the practice level and at the patient level and also probably at a national level. 2. A recognition that practice transformation requires process transformation and thinking about things very differently. Now, all of a sudden, we are getting paid to coordinate care. We must work as a team because there are people on staff who can influence social determinants of health, for example. We have a vested interest to create a community board advocating for food banks and sidewalks and air pollution controls so all the kids who play soccer don't wind up with asthma. Ochsner actually set up a school because they realized educated communities are healthier communities. Dr. Scanlan's clinically integrated network? They're much earlier in the journey. They're at the point where they're working hard to get participating practices the tools that they need to succeed and help doctors and other clinicians help patients through what Dr. Scanlan calls the “in-between spaces”—the times between appointments. But all of this really rolls up to the point that Eric Gallagher is making about everybody working together and recognizing that practice transformation requires process transformation. 3. The culture change that's necessary among physicians and other clinicians (pretty much everybody), and Dr. Amy Scanlan leaned into this one, too—hard. Both brought up the same nemesis: inertia. And the requirement to change culture can't be underestimated, and the change management that's required here cannot be phoned in. Culture eats strategy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as they say. My two macro-level takeaways after talking with Eric Gallagher today and Dr. Amy Scanlan earlier are that, even though the local market and the nuances of any given particular practice have such a huge impact on what's going to work at an operational and tactical level, if we stay up in the strategic zone, there's some best practices and points to ponder which are likely possible to universalize. Now, emphasis on the “stay up in the strategic zone.” I was just talking to another person today with yet one more story amounting to “it didn't work because it never was going to work,” wherein, in this case, apparently a very large payer is running around attempting to do a pilot in an attempt to learn exactly and specifically how to operationalize something, and then their plan is to roll out this one model nationwide. So, something works in one local market at one practice, and we're just gonna assume if it worked there, it's gonna work everywhere. And, yeah … good luck with that. After you listen to this show, listen to episode 402 with Amy Scanlan, MD, as I have mentioned multiple times. Episode 343 and episode 316 with David Carmouche, MD, would be good to check out. Also episode 393 with David Muhlestein, PhD, JD, and episode 394 with Vikas Saini, MD, and Judith Garber, MPP.   You can learn more at Ochsner Health Network.     Eric Gallagher, chief executive officer for Ochsner Health Network (OHN), is responsible for directing network and population health strategy and operations, including oversight of performance management operations, population health and care management programs, value-based analytics, OHN network development and administration, strategic program management, and marketing and communications.
