Most people think Lean is a manufacturing methodology. Sneha Kumari lives it as a mindset.Sneha is back on Learnings & Missteps. She's the president of Merlin AI and one of the most recognized women in manufacturing; and this conversation gets into the stuff that actually moves the needle.Jesse and Sneha dig into why Lean isn't just a process tool, it's a way of thinking about simplicity, eliminating waste, and respecting people's time. That includes your team, your clients, and yes, even your kids. When you build systems — whether that's automation, AI, or a morning routine — the goal is the same: remove time as a bottleneck.They also break down how tight feedback loops change the game. Not chasing every outlier. Spotting patterns. Doing real root-cause analysis. Using an impact-versus-effort matrix to make smarter decisions faster.Sneha gets honest about what she's learned since launching Merlin AI, resilience, leading a remote global team, and how to maintain urgency without blowing up quality, safety, or delivery.And she explains what Merlin AI is actually solving: the fragmented, unpredictable mess that construction workflows still are. Orchestration and operational intelligence — predicting problems before they happen, making execution more scalable and repeatable.If you're leading people, building systems, or trying to figure out where AI actually fits in your operation, this one's for you.00:00 Feedback Loops Mindset00:14 Meet Sneha Kamari02:41 Why Lean Matters07:51 Respecting Time12:18 AI Systems Design15:27 Merlin AI Founder Lessons20:19 Mistakes And Learning22:01 Tight Feedback Loops26:42 Patterns And Priorities30:27 Orchestration Explained32:59 Operational IntelligenceGet the time management system that will make you dangerously effective: https://www.depthbuilder.com/time-management-webinar-sign-up-pageSubscribe to the Monday Morning Hugs Newsletter for thought provoking topics to accelerate your growth: LinkedIn Newsletter  Download the free PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Be 

Is MicroStrategy's new preferred stock STRC really the next big financial product — or just a shiny object designed to harvest your savings?   In this episode of More Than Commas, Paul breaks down STRC, MicroStrategy's preferred stock promising 11% annual returns paid monthly — and why those numbers deserve a much closer look. Using a Coffeezilla analysis as a jumping-off point, Paul unpacks exactly how this product works, who it's really designed for, and what the fine print means for everyday investors.   They cover the mechanics behind STRC, its deep ties to Bitcoin, the risks most people overlook, and why comparing it to a bank account or money market fund is dangerously misleading.   More importantly, this episode is a reminder that when something promises double-digit returns with minimal explanation, the real question isn't how much you could gain — it's what you could lose. --  Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction to STRC and MicroStrategy 01:30 – What STRC is and how it works 05:00 – The 11% return promise explained 09:45 – Coffeezilla's analysis breakdown 15:20 – Bitcoin exposure and concentrated risk 20:10 – Why STRC is not a bank or money market account 25:30 – Red flags in the pitch and financial engineering 30:00 – What retail investors need to know 35:00 – Final thoughts and long-term strategy reminders -- #microstrategy #bitcoin #STRC #investingtips #wealthbuilding #financialeducation #morethancommas #personalfinance #cryptowarning #financialplanning  -- This Material is Intended for General Public Use.

Sponsored by Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. Intended for US Audiences. This information is for general purposes only and is not a substitute for consulting your healthcare provider about food allergy treatment. Dr. Ari Zelig has been financially compensated by Genentech and Novartis for his participation in this episode. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Ari Zelig, a board-certified allergist and immunologist to unpack what's really happening when it comes to food allergies - and why so many more people are dealing with them today. If you are navigating food allergies, or if you've ever wondered if what you're experiencing might be more than just a sensitivity, this episode features an informative discussion on these topics! In this episode, we dive into the reality of living with food allergies, from the day-to-day challenges that families carry to the misconceptions that still exist around what an allergic reaction to food actually looks like. Dr. Zelig breaks down IgE-mediated food allergies, what's happening in the body during a reaction, and why early exposure guidelines for kids have changed. Plus, we discuss a treatment option, XOLAIR (omalizumab), an FDA-approved prescription medication for subcutaneous use that can help reduce allergic reactions to multiple foods that may occur after accidental exposure in people with IgE-mediated food allergies one year of age and up. While taking XOLAIR you should continue to avoid all foods to which you are allergic. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with food allergies, talk to your allergist and ask about XOLAIR. You can also find more information at XOLAIR.com. XOLAIR is one of several available treatment options for IgE-mediated food allergy and it may not be appropriate for all patients. What is XOLAIR?XOLAIR®(omalizumab) for subcutaneous use is an injectable prescription medicine used to treat food allergy in people 1 year of age and older to reduce allergic reactions that may occur after accidentally eating one or more foods to which you are allergic. While taking XOLAIR you should continue to avoid all foods to which you are allergic. It is not known if XOLAIR is safe and effective in people with food allergy under 1 year of age. XOLAIR should not be used for the emergency treatment of any allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. What is the most important information I should know about XOLAIR?Severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis can happen when you receive XOLAIR. The reaction can occur after the first dose, or after many doses. It may also occur right after a XOLAIR injection or days later. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening condition and can lead to death. Go to the nearest emergency room right away if you have any of these symptoms of an allergic reaction:· wheezing, shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness, or trouble breathing· low blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, rapid or weak heartbeat, anxiety, or feeling of “impending doom”· flushing, itching, hives, or feeling warm· swelling of the throat or tongue, throat tightness, hoarse voice, or trouble swallowing Your healthcare provider will monitor you closely for symptoms of an allergic reaction while you are receiving XOLAIR and for a period of time after treatment is initiated. Your healthcare provider should talk to you about getting medical treatment if you have symptoms of an allergic reaction.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. Although not widely reported in legacy media outlets, Christianity is, by far, the most persecuted religion in the world. From the Middle East and Africa to India, China, North Korea, and elsewhere, Christian communities regularly experience widespread humiliation, imprisonment, kidnappings, expulsions, and even murderous mob violence. While not as severe, Christians in parts of Europe and even right here at home, in the US, also often endure discrimination, exclusion, and ridicule. There is no ambiguity about who is carrying out these attacks or what motivates them. Like the martyrs of past centuries, millions of our Christian brothers and sisters are currently suffering because they profess faith in Jesus Christ. In response to this ongoing outrage, Bishop Robert Barron has released a new book called What Do Their Deaths Demand? Christian Persecution Today. Intended for widespread distribution, the book spotlights heartbreaking stories of the continued targeting of Christian communities throughout the world, offers a theological explanation for why Christianity has been under assault since its inception, and, most importantly, provides actionable ideas for what all of us can do to respond. Here to discuss the book—and why its message is more urgent than ever—is Bishop Robert Barron. Topics Covered 00:00 | Introduction 01:38 | The final meeting of the Religious Liberty Commission 02:51 | Why this book, and why now? 05:16 | Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa's foreword 06:46 | Aid to the Church in Need 07:47 | Why Christian persecution is largely ignored 09:00 | Part 1: The Most Persecuted Religion 15:36 | Part 2: Why the Persecution of Christians? 22:41 | The fundamental quandary 25:09 | Part 3: So What Can We Do? 32:09 | Listener question: Should we present the crucifixion more positively? 34:38 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!

Did you know that every civilisation produces its own orthodoxies.Beliefs are rehearsed so consistently, absorbed so gradually, that they eventually cease to feel like beliefs at all and instead begin to feel more like the natural order of things.Some of those orthodoxies have built great societies. And yes, they have.Others have quietly dismantled them from the inside out.Yet, one of the most enduring beliefs of our time, present not only in culture but deeply embedded within the Church itself, is the belief that insufficiency spiritually somehow is of God… that to struggle perpetually is purportedly a mark of holiness… and that lack, in some sacred sense, reflects the will of God for His people.This is a satanic lie.Sophisticated in its construction. Theological in its costume; and generational in its damage.Why so?Because the most consequential battles in life are never first financial. They are first ideological. They begin in the mind long before they appear in the marketplace and the concourse of life.And until wrong thinking is confronted, cycles hardly ever change.

1. Historic Indictment Raúl Castro has been indicted by the U.S. for murder, conspiracy, and destruction of aircraft. Charges relate to the February 24, 1996 incident where Cuban military jets shot down two civilian planes. Four people (including three U.S. citizens) were killed. 2. Allegation of Direct Responsibility Prosecutors claim: The attack was intentional, not accidental. Castro, then Cuba’s Defense Minister, authorized and helped direct the operation. Evidence cited includes: Military communications Intelligence reports Longstanding testimony 3. Delayed Justice The indictment comes nearly 30 years after the incident. It is portrayed as long-awaited accountability for victims’ families. 4. Symbolic and Political Context Announcement took place in Miami’s Freedom Tower, a symbolic site for Cuban exiles. Marks one of the first times a senior Cuban leader is charged in U.S. court. 5. Shift in U.S. Policy Approach There is a change in U.S. posture toward authoritarian regimes: From diplomacy (e.g., Obama-era engagement) To criminal prosecution, sanctions, and pressure 6. Broader Strategic Message The indictment is framed as part of a larger strategy: Indict leaders Cut financial resources Increase international isolation Encourage defections Wait for internal collapse 7. Comparison to Venezuela The approach is compared to actions taken against Nicolás Maduro. Suggests indictments can: Isolate leaders globally Trigger internal fractures within regimes 8. Limited Immediate Practical Impact Castro is 94 years old, and Cuba is unlikely to extradite him. A trial in the U.S. is uncertain. 9. Psychological and Geopolitical Impact The indictment is presented as: A “warning shot” to authoritarian regimes A tool to undermine regime stability internally Intended to send message: Leaders who harm Americans can be pursued indefinitely Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Your people aren't running out of steam because they're soft. They're running out of electrolytes — and the water cooler isn't fixing it.Jennifer Martinez is a sports-medicine-trained performance specialist who decided the trades deserved the same recovery science as elite athletes. She calls it rapid restoration. And she's got an approach that turns depleted workers around in about 10 minutes.In this episode, Jesse and Jennifer break down what's actually draining your workforce — filtered water, energy drinks, caffeine, stress, poor diet. Why the headaches, cramps, fatigue, and on-the-job mistakes your crew writes off as "just part of the job" are symptoms, not character flaws. It's a $100 billion annual problem hiding in plain sight.Jennifer also talks about the faith that kept her going through early pushback, why she rebranded to "rapid restoration," and the mission underneath all of it: getting workers home to their families healthier than when they showed up.In this episode:Why "drink more water" is making things worse, not betterThe everyday habits silently draining your crewHow depletion shows up as mistakes, heat illness, and underreported incidentsWhy workers have to feel better before they'll change behaviorJennifer's journey from pushback to rapid restorationConnect with Jennifer Martinez: J Mar Solutions | LinkedIn00:00 The Hidden Cost00:37 Meet Jennifer Martinez03:44 Imperfect Action Wins06:31 Handling Criticism Gracefully08:47 When You Want To Quit10:10 Surrender And Rebrand13:31 Dehydration Myth Busting16:41 Coffee Stress And Coping20:19 Heat Exposes Depletion22:15 Rapid Restoration In Action26:34 From Sports To Job Sites29:40 Friction And Pushback30:51 Faith Fueled Resilience34:15 Squirt Squad Marketing34:52 Heat Stroke Save Story38:15 Industrial Athletes Mindset39:49 Change Through Feeling Better42:55 Surrender And Service45:26 Doing Right Over Profit48:23 Kidney Health Mineral Message50:22 Where To Find JMARGet the time management system that will make you dangerously effective: https://www.depthbuilder.com/time-management-webinar-sign-up-pageSubscribe to the Monday Morning Hugs Newsletter for thought provoking topics to accelerate your growth: LinkedIn Newsletter  Download the free PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Be

Starting off at the gym with new observations of absolute astonishment.  There's always new observations of interest you may find surprising and entertaining.  I then move onto the purpose of the Podcast with my observation of recent trends in photography that demonstrate in my opinion laziness in the name of breaking away from norms of 20th century craftsmanship.  Intended to be fresh and new but actually old and done before.  There are very few today that are successful in using direct flash in a creative way but not so much as a gimmick but as creative license they've perfected.  This direct flash technique has been used for over 35 years that I know of, but now curator's find it cutting edge from emerging photographers. For me, it's distracting that diminishes the viewers viewpoint when looking at the image quality from a social documentary sense.   It's a technique that exaggerates the reality of a scene, by intruding, bruising and dramatizes real or not so real feeling, sometimes mood and definitely reality.  When I see the blast flash technique I see the shadow's first then the subject in front of the camera.  In my opinion that's gravely wrong. Focus should always be one the human condition and not an over dramatic surreal flavor of the month shadow on a wall.  I know, I may be attacked with disagreements on this but study documentary or social documentary work of the profession and then tell me I'm full of shit.  Send us Fan MailThank you for listening and help me grow this channel.  Have a great day.  Many of the photographs I talk about here are on Facebook: Brad Armstrong the Avatar picture is my wife and I with Smokey the Bear,  Instagram @ shade_image / commercial and editorial portraits Instagram @ barmst360

Going to the theatre can often feel like a magical experience. You sit in the dark, watching a story unfold in front of you, with your imagination filling in the gaps between the sets. It's unsurprising that theatre superstitions would be so plentiful. Intended to bring good luck or ward off bad luck, some of these superstitions have made their way into life outside the theatre. Look at how many people know it's bad luck to name Macbeth. I've grouped these theatre superstitions according to which part of the theatre or performance they refer to.

Confidence at the arraignment. Caution less than two weeks later. David Anthony Burke's defense team demanded a fast preliminary hearing — then asked for a delay after the discovery started arriving.Blair Berk told the court at the arraignment that the prosecution's case couldn't withstand scrutiny and pushed for a hearing within ten days. But when the files started landing — including wiretap results, testimony from three grand juries, and roughly forty terabytes of digital evidence — defense attorney Marilyn Bednarski asked Judge Charlaine Olmedo to push the hearing to May 26.The defense also tried to get the prosecution's nine-page evidence brief sealed from the public. Berk called it "entirely one-sided" and warned it would taint the jury pool. The judge denied the request.Beth Silverman told the court she'd warned the defense that this volume of evidence was coming. She'd already told witnesses to cancel planned vacations for the original hearing date.Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what changed behind the scenes, what the wiretap tells us about the investigation's reach, and what to watch for at the May 26 hearing.Part 3 of 3.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

You'd never start a project without knowing what it's going to cost you. But most people say yes to commitments without running those same numbers.Jesse calls it choose your consequence. Consequence isn't punishment. It's just the result of every decision you make — whether you thought it through or not.He puts his own life on the table. Explains why he doesn't date. Not because he can't. Because he did the math on what it costs — hours, money, focus — and decided that's not where he wants to spend it.Every yes is a no to something else. The question is whether you're choosing that tradeoff on purpose.If you keep ending the week feeling like you worked hard and moved nothing forward — this one's for you.00:00 Choose Your Consequence01:47 What Consequence Means04:00 Time Pressure Reality05:11 Dating Decision Example10:17 Zoom Out and Simplify11:55 Opportunities and Ego Traps14:52 Long Term Lens18:52 Non Negotiables and Hard Nos22:58 Workshops and Next Steps24:32 Podcast Outro and ResourcesGet the time management system that will make you dangerously effective: https://www.depthbuilder.com/time-management-webinar-sign-up-pageSubscribe to the Monday Morning Hugs Newsletter for thought provoking topics to accelerate your growth: LinkedIn Newsletter  Download the free PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Be

Most leaders say culture matters.Very few are willing to do what it actually takes to build one.In this episode, Jesse sits down with Lisa Corrales - Field Verified leader with 25 years in organizational development and healthcare - to unpack the uncomfortable truth: culture isn't built through values on a wall. It's built through conversations most leaders avoid.They get into why promoting people based on seniority quietly erodes teams, what separates leaders who grow from those who stall out, and why self-awareness is the foundation almost no one invests in enough.Lisa also shares how Field Verified operationalizes culture - from weekly check-ins to real-time recognition - and what changed when she stepped into the direct, no-filter world of construction.But the real shift?Reframing “hard conversations” as the job, not the exception.If you've ever avoided a conversation, you knew you needed to have… this one will hit.00:00 Leadership Not Conflict00:13 Meet Miss Lisa03:36 Why Culture Drives Growth07:24 Internal Customers Matter10:19 Can Leadership Be Taught15:51 Building Leaders at Work21:01 Designing Thriving Culture29:16 Accountability And Coaching33:52 Responsibility Of Leadership35:16 Rewarding Top Performers35:57 Willing Versus Capable36:53 Bad Behavior Spreads38:21 Communication Styles Matter40:00 Praise And Direct Feedback43:09 Building A Praise Culture46:50 Reps For Tough Talks52:56 From Medicine To Construction59:12 Site Visit Perspective Shift01:02:06 Promise And ClosingGet the time management system that will make you dangerously effective: https://www.depthbuilder.com/time-management-webinar-sign-up-pageSubscribe to the Monday Morning Hugs Newsletter for thought provoking topics to accelerate your growth: LinkedIn Newsletter  Download the free PDF copy of Becoming the Promise You are Intended to Be

1. Military Morale and Leadership U.S. military morale has significantly strengthened by a commander-in-chief who is willing to risk substantial resources to rescue a single American service member. Trump is contrasted against Clinton (Somalia), Obama (Libya), and Biden (Afghanistan), portraying those administrations as failing to protect troops. The U.S. military ethos: soldiers fight aggressively because they trust that medics, rescue forces, and leadership will risk everything to save them. 2. U.S. Military Culture and “Quiet Math of American Violence” Highlight inter-service respect (Marines, Navy corpsmen, Air Force PJs). American combat effectiveness comes not just from training or equipment, but from certainty that help will arrive under fire, reinforcing battlefield courage. 3. Trump’s Iran Policy and Deterrence Strategy Trump’s foreign policy is: “FAFO” (forceful consequences for aggression) Transactional with allies (support is conditional) Infrastructure strikes are: Intended to cripple military and economic capability Designed to pressure the population to overthrow the regime A deliberate choice not to destroy oil infrastructure to preserve post‑conflict recovery potential 4. War Crimes Accusations and Legal Defense Democrats and media figures are labeling infrastructure strikes as “war crimes.” This is countered by citing the Pentagon’s Law of War Manual, arguing that power generation and infrastructure supporting military operations can be lawful military objectives. 5. View of Iranian Leadership Iran’s rulers are theocratic extremists who: Do not care about civilian suffering Are willing to sacrifice large portions of their population Doubts are expressed about whether economic devastation would deter or influence regime behavior. 6. Immigration and Violent Crime Violent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants are widespread and underreported Democratic policies (sanctuary cities, TPS, opposition to ICE) directly enabled these crimes Several specific criminal cases argue that border enforcement failures have led to American deaths.
