So what's it to be in the Middle East in 2025: Mad Max style anarchy or a "Pax Hebraica" orchestrated from Israel? According to regional expert Soli Ozel, the Mad Max scenario is more likely - although, as he notes, many of us oversimplify the contemporary Middle East into false binaries such as the Sunni vs Shiite conflict or Iran vs the Arab world. That said, Ozel warns, the mostly cataclysmic 2024 history of the the region doesn't bode well for 2025. Especially given America's central role in Middle East and its unwillingness to confront the region's central tragedy - the problem of Palestine. Soli Özel is professor of International Relations at Kadir Has University in Istanbul, a fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy, a senior fellow at the Institut Montaigne as a senior fellow and a columnist for the Turkish daily Habertürk. Since 2002, Soli Özel has also contributed to Project Syndicate on different occasions, commenting on Turkish politics. He served on the board of directors of International Alert and is currently a member of the European Council on Foreign Relations. He was also an advisor to the Chairman the Turkish Industrialists' and Businessmen's Association (TÜSIAD) on foreign policy issues. He has guest lectured at Harvard, Tufts, and other US universities and has taught at UC Santa Cruz, John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), the University of Washington, Northwestern University, the Hebrew University, Boğaziçi University and Bilgi University (Istanbul). He also spent time as a fellow of St. Anthony's College, Oxford and was a visiting senior scholar at the EU Institute for Security Studies in Paris. He was a Fisher Family Fellow of the “Future of Diplomacy Program” at the Belfer Center of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. In 2013, he was a Keyman fellow and a visiting lecturer at Northwestern University. Soli Özel regularly contributes to the German Marshall Fund's web site's “ON Turkey” series. His work has been printed in different publications in Turkey and abroad, including The International Spectator, Internationale Politik and the Journal of Democracy. He also occupied the position of Editor-in-Chief at Foreign Policy Turkish edition.

When we imagine an autocracy, writes Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Anne Applebaum, we tend to conjure a cartoon image: a malevolent dictator at the top who controls the police and army, evil collaborators and a few brave dissidents. But 21st century autocracies are not that. They're run instead by “sophisticated networks relying on kleptocratic financial structures, a complex of security services… and technological experts who provide surveillance, propaganda and disinformation.” We talk to Applebaum about how modern autocracies work and how liberal democracies can disrupt them. Her new book is “Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World.” Guest: Anne Applebaum, author, "Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World"; staff writer, The Atlantic; Pulitzer-prize winning historian; senior fellow, John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and the SNF Agora Institute

EP11 - Clinical Experiences, Education Efforts & Upcoming Research Studies w/Dr. Dzifa Dordunoo, PhD., RN Dr. Dzifa Dordunoo is an Associate Professor at the University of Victoria School of Nursing in B.C., Canada. With over 20 years of clinical experience in general medicine and coronary care units, spending the past decade as a nurse educator, after beginning her teaching career in 2011 as a clinical instructor at John Hopkins School of Nursing. She is the director of the University of Victoria Center for Evidence-Informed Nursing and Healthcare, A JBI Center of Excellence. Dzifa shares experience and research studies in the realm of metal hypersensitivity, which began during the time of her doctoral studies with one of her cardiac care patients, when she became aware of, and investigated the patient's metal allergy as a possible cause for patient's complications. Dzifa then goes on to share her story of walking her son through a metal-allergy diagnosis to dental hardware and expresses the frustration of not being heard and taken seriously as a professional in the field, even once the situation was brought to full resolution of symptoms after the removal of the offending hardware.  After these experiences Dzifa started polling colleagues about their metal hypersensitivity knowledge, as well as sharing publications with them, quickly realizing that her curiosity and scientific musings were not met with equal excitement in the realm of her peers….with some even thinking she was a little “out there.”. Even wondering why something as simple as pre-screening patients for metal allergies was so difficult. Many didn't believe in the science or current evidence, while others stated that screening was futile. Dzifa goes on to share her opinions on informed consent.  Dr. Dordunoo shares about her clinical studies, past and present, including several recently published papers, along with info about clinical trials now underway. One of her future goals is to create an implantable device registry. She also shares her thoughts on  Metal Hypersensitivity as a future medical sub-specialty.  In this episode you will learn: How knowledge of metal-hypersensitivity within the medical field is often misunderstood and under-reported.  That even providers within the field have difficulties convincing peers that metal hypersensitivity is real and a pervasive issue for many in the worldwide population.  About upcoming clinical advancements and trials, as well as proposed enhancements to medical device reporting.  ~Links and Resources~ Articles: Patient Journey Map: Metal hypersensitivity Hypersensitivityhttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/23743735231183576 Hypersensitivity in patients receiving metal implants: a scoping review protocol  https://journals.lww.com/jbisrir/Fulltext/2021/06000/Hypersensitivity_in_patients_receiving_metal.12.aspx Metal hypersensitivity screening among frontline healthcare workers—A descriptive study https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jocn.15571 Youtube: Hypersensitivity reactions to metal implants https://youtu.be/NGOfWOuMHYw Consenting patients about metal hypersensitivity https://youtu.be/ItdSr7gV_oU~To learn more visit HeavilyMetalled.com. ~ Check out the “Heavily Metalled” resource page: https://www.heavilymetalled.com/p/patient-resources/ ~ Follow Heavily Metalled on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeavilyMetalled ~ Follow Heavily Metalled on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heavilymetalled/ ~ Subscribe to Heavily Metalled on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HeavilyMetalled ~ Check out our sponsor MELISA.org ***Many WONDERFUL, supportive special-interest communities exist for metal allergies and diet, hardware issues, medical devices, etc., online and on social media.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan Minggu, 29 Januari 2023 Bacaan: Matius 25:23 "Maka kata tuannya itu kepadanya: Baik sekali perbuatanmu itu, hai hambaku yang baik dan setia, engkau telah setia memikul tanggung jawab dalam perkara yang kecil, aku akan memberikan kepadamu tanggung jawab dalam perkara yang besar. Masuklah dan turutlah dalam kebahagiaan tuanmu." Renungan: Suatu kali, seorang mahasiswa sekolah kedokteran membaca sebuah buku karangan. Thomas Carlyle. Meski demikian, ia hanya mengingat 1 kalimat saja yang pada akhirnya mengantarkan pemuda bernama William Osler itu sukses menjadi pengelola John Hopkins School of Medicine, menjadi profesor ilmu kedokteran di Universitas Oxford dan mendapat gelar kehormatan Sir dari Ratu Inggris. Inilah satu kalimat itu, "Tindakan utama yang harus kita kerjakan bukanlah melihat apa yang terletak samar-samar di kejauhan sana, melainkan melaksanakan apa yang kelihatan dengan jelas di depan mata." Bila direnungkan, banyak hal yang sudah Tuhan letakkan di "tangan kita. Waktu, tenaga, otak yang cerdas, kesehatan, dan sebagainya. Semua itu adalah aset yang berharga, yang bila digunakan dengan maksimal dapat membawa kita pada puncak sukses. Otak kita saja bila dimanfaatkan dengan lebih optimal, akan menghasilkan sesuatu yang luar biasa. Seperti Stephen Hawking, walaupun tubuhnya lumpuh, tetapi ia sanggup menjadi guru besar bahkan menciptakan berbagai rumus fisika dengan otaknya. Ia pun dijuluki sebagai manusia genius kedua setelah Albert Einstein. Itu baru hal otak. Kita masih memiliki kemampuan lainnya yang hebat. Semua orang sudah diberi anugerah untuk menalar dan menciptakan, sehingga mestinya bisa menciptakan sesuatu dengan apa yang telah dimilikinya. Karena itu, mari mulai melihat ke dalam diri kita, apa yang kita punya, apa yang ada di tangan kita sekarang dan jangan pusing dengan keahlian orang lain. Jangan pusing dengan apa yang tidak ada pada kita. Setiap dari kita tidak peduli siapapun dan dalam kondisi apapun, sudah diberikan keahlian dan talentanya masing-masing oleh Tuhan. Ketika kita dapat mengolah dan mempergunakan keahlian dan talenta yang ada pada kita dan mengerjakan apa yang ada pada tangan kita, maka cepat atau lambat keberhasilan akan menjadi milik kita. Tragedi kehidupan yang sesungguhnya bukanlah karena kita hanya diberi satu talenta, melainkan karena kita gagal menggunakan satu talenta itu. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa: Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih untuk setiap talenta yang telah Kau berikan padaku. Mampukan aku untuk mengembangkannya sehingga dapat memberkati banyak orang. Jangan biarkan aku ingin menjadi seperti orang lain tapi mantapkanlah niatku untuk menjadi diriku sendiri dengan apa yang sudah Kau berikan padaku. Amin. (Dod).

In this episode, I spoke with Pierce Salguero, Ph.D., about his new book Buddhish: A Guide to the 20 Most Important Buddhist Ideas for the Curious and Skeptical, published this year by Beacon Press. Pierce is a Professor of Asian History and Religious Studies at Pennsylvania State University, and is Editor-in-Chief of Asian Medicine: Journal of the International Association for the Study of Traditional Asian Medicine. Pierce received his PhD in the History of Medicine at  at John Hopkins School of Medicine, his Masters of East Asian Studies at the University of Virginia. He is a transdisciplinary scholar who is fascinated by historical and contemporary intersections between Buddhism, medicine, and cross-cultural exchange. He is a prolific scholar and has a fascinating background that includes a former career as a practitioner of Traditional Thai Medicine, along with having been a monastic for a few years in the Thai Buddhist Forest tradition. We had a fascinating discussion about his new book Buddhish – and how approaches this topic in ways that offer newcomers – both those curious and the skeptics – a way to get tour-bus ride of the vast terrain of Buddhist philosophical ideas and practices across various schools and traditions.

This episode discusses the challenges associated with migration and human displacement in the context of climate change, and explores policy responses available to international organisations. Given the complex interactions between climate change, conflict and displacement, many humanitarian agencies and NGOs are only just beginning to come to grips with the implications of climate change on displacement issues.  Our host, Roshan Melwani, is joined by Dr. Nina Hall, an Assistant Professor of International Relations at John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. She previously worked as a Lecturer at the Hertie School of Governance, and was a Policy Officer at the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Her research focuses on international organizations, transnational advocacy, climate adaptation, and global refugee governance. Dr. Hall's book “Displacement, Development and Climate Change”, explores how international organisations have evolved their mandates over time to incorporate climate change as an area of focus. This podcast delves into and builds on the insights offered by the book to see how our global humanitarian institutions can remain fit for purpose to respond to the challenge of climate change.   This episode is hosted and researched by Roshan Melwani.

In this episode, Garrison is joined by Richard Fontaine, CEO of the Center for a New American Security, to discuss a wide range of topics about the Ukraine Crisis. The two discuss the history of NATO expansion and Ukrainian orientation as a few of the factors influencing the timing of the present crisis; the stance of the West; and the strategic motivations behind Russia's current aggressive posture. The two also discuss the future of potential NATO membership for Kiev, whether or not there is “trade space” regarding the subject of implied Ukrainian neutrality and so forth. They take a careful look at the questions surrounding Germany's stance under Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and what future (if any) there is for Macron's view of Europe as a “strategic balancer” (exercising strategic autonomy with French leadership) in light of the current security challenges facing the continent. And how has domestic politics influenced London, Berlin, and Paris in their recent stances? In light of a potential Russian invasion the two discuss possible impacts of sanctions on Moscow and what responses (such as cyberattacks) Putin may undertake in retaliation. Most importantly, Fontaine examines the implications for the “pivot to Asia” if Putin green lights an invasion of Ukraine, and what future U.S. priorities will be in light of a renewed sense of danger in Eastern Europe. The two close by discussing what grade that Fontaine would give to the Biden administration's handling of the Ukraine crisis and how they might improve that response. Richard Fontaine is CEO of the Center for a New American Security (CNAS). He served as President of CNAS from 2012-2019 and previously as a Senior Advisor and Senior Fellow. He also served as foreign policy advisor to Senator John McCain for more than five years. He has worked at the State Department, the National Security Council and on the staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Mr. Fontaine served as foreign policy advisor to the McCain 2008 presidential campaign and, following the election, as the minority deputy staff director on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Prior to this, he served as associate director for Near Eastern affairs at the National Security Council (NSC) from 2003-04. He also worked in the NSC's Asian Affairs directorate, where he covered Southeast Asian issues. During his time at the State Department, Mr. Fontaine worked in the office of former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and in the department's South Asia bureau, working on issues related to India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

You can have genetically identical siblings. They have the same genome. They lay right next to each other in the womb. They're born, and at the moment they're born, they're already different. Before any experience has accrued at all. Why shouldn't they be just the same?This question and more are discussed in today's episode on individuality, variability, heritability and epigenetics. Our guest is David Linden. He is a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University. He is also at the Kavli Neuroscience Discovery Institute. His most recent book is Unique: The New Science of Human Individuality.Episode Quotes:On Variability:“The other thing that's important to realize is sometimes it's a lot easier to kind of break a process than it is to make a process function to a greater degree.”On memory:A lot of our memory has to do with things that we can't recall. Like when you practice a sport and you get better at it. You can recall maybe your tennis lessons, but you don't really recall how to hit the ball better. It is a subconscious experience. Likewise, you may have been traumatized as a child by an aggressive dog. And now as an adult, every time you see a dog, your heart races. And it's not like you necessarily remember the experience as a child, but that reaction, that association, that fear learning is there at a subconscious level. All these things form us as individuals.On OkCupid traits and preferences:If you really like to eat lutefisk, that probably came because you grew up liking it because there's just about no other way to like it. It doesn't seem to be genetic related and it doesn't seem to have to do with what taste or smell receptor variants you have. It's something that's socially encoded in your experience. Likewise, if you were to say, well, I've always been an early bird all my life. Well, that is heavily genetically infected. That's a highly heritable trait and we know a lot about the genes that contribute to people who like to rise earlier or rise late.On food preference:Generally speaking, food preference has some heritable things that we can trace mostly to your odorant receptors and a few of them to your taste receptors. But most of it is socially determined. You go to Thailand, it's pretty hard to find someone who doesn't like chili peppers. Whereas, if you're walking around Baltimore, you'll find plenty of people that don't like chili peppers.Show Links:Guest Profile:Faculty Profile at John Hopkins School of MedicineProfessional Profile at Kavli Neuroscience Discovery InstituteDavid Linden's WebsiteDavid Linden on TwitterDavid Linden on TEDXUNCHis work:David Linden on Google ScholarUnique: The New Science of Human Individuality Kindle EditionThe Accidental Mind: How Brain Evolution Has Given Us Love, Memory, Dreams, and GodThe Compass of Pleasure: How Our Brains Make Fatty Foods, Orgasm, Exercise, Marijuana, Generosity, Vodka, Learning, and Gambling Feel So GoodTouch: The Science of the Hand, Heart, and Mind

The Conversation: COV1D-19….One Year Later   In this follow-up episode, Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos (“Dr. G”) is back to talk about COVID-19.   This time around, he is sharing what the medical community has learned about the disease that completely changed the world.   Dr. G will be sharing how to handle the huge amount of information (and misinformation) that comes from the media, vaccinations, and how we can stay healthy going forward.   If you're someone who has vaccination concerns or are confused about news about the virus, this quick episode will help give you the facts to make clear and informed decisions about your health.   Questions We Explore What have we learned about COVID-19 a year later? Why do viruses always come from animals? Should I trust some of the “horror stories” I read? Does the vaccine have side effects? Is a vaccinated person contagious? How should the medical community communicate to people who are hesitant to take the vaccine? Why do COVID-19 use mRNA? Will we need vaccine boosters? What should you do  if you don't get vaccinated?   3 Important Things to Remember Skip the fear, follow the science  Look for information that gives facts, not opinion   The best weapon against a virus is information  Having science-based information that can help the world make the best decision is key to stopping the spread   Make the best decision for you Decide base on YOUR circumstances, not someone else   The Homework As the coronavirus pandemic continued, there was another thing that spread: information. In some cases, this information was helpful. In other cases, it was less than helpful. In extreme cases, it was harmful.   As Dr. G shared, one of the best tools we have to fight against a virus is information. Information helps us make decisions, for our own families and as a society.   Yet, we often don't question where we get our information.   For this “homework”, let's focus on the “information” piece of the conversation.    Take a minute to ask yourself the following:   1, Where do I get my information about the COVID-19 virus? 2. Did I trust the information? Why? 3, Did I verify the information? Why or why not?   Think through your answers and ask what those answers mean for your health.   Related Episodes   Episode 53: Dr. G and COVID-19 (First Episode)   Episode 61 Staying Healthy Through the Pandemic   Episode 69: Getting the Medical Help (in a Complicated Health System)   About Our Guest Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos (“Dr. G”) is a Critical Care Medicine physician, co-director of The Greater Good, the director of the Tobacco Treatment Clinic,the Co-Chair of Health Equity, and an associate professor of medicine at John Hopkins School of  Medicine.

He also led the way for healthcare professionals to create and publish an electronic professional portfolio.  Thanks to technology, marketing is easier to do today but pay attention to quality in order to best support growth strategies and do your due diligence on salespeople. On transitioning after the sale of a company: keep flying the plane and get outside counsel, including someone you trust and a great attorney. During his sabbatical, Dr. Dion realized he wanted to give back to the profession that had been good to him.  He was invited to join Johns Hopkins School of Nursing because of his entrepreneurial mindset.  As the Assistant Dean, Dr. Dion considers himself a boundary spanner who catalyzes people.  Dr. Dion believes nurses are in a great position to solve problems in healthcare. His advice is to surround yourself with people who know a different domain to build a great team.   3 KEY POINTS: When opportunities present themselves, you have to walk through the door. You need to listen to your gut. There are signposts along the way and they will help point you in the right direction. The healthcare industry needs competent (not compliant) professionals. Decision Critical filled that gap and brought the synergy model of nursing together by tracking in-depth information about clinicians. It’s okay to do well while doing good. If you make some money, do some philanthropic work. You have the opportunity to move your profession forward.    TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Slow to hire, quick to fire.” - Dr. Kenneth Dion “Stay involved... be a philanthropist and a great leader.” - Dr. Kenneth Dion RESOURCES: “A Journey into the Heroic Environment” by Robert Lebow: https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Heroic-Environment-Revised-Expanded/dp/0761509046 “The Art of the Start” by Guy Kawasaki: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Start-Time-Tested-Battle-Hardened-Starting/dp/1591840562 Sigma Theta Tau: https://www.sigmanursing.org/ National Student Nurses’ Association: https://www.sigmanursing.org/ Dr. Kenneth Dion on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenneth-dion-0b44901/ Dr. Kenneth Dion on Twitter: https://twitter.com/kennethdion Dr. Kenneth Dion on John Hopkins School of Nursing’s faculty directory: https://nursing.jhu.edu/faculty_research/faculty/faculty-directory/kenneth-dion #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #podcast #nursing #synergy #catalyst #philanthropy

What do zebra mussels and cancer cells have in common? Researchers consider each invasive forces. About ten years ago, oncologists recast cancer in evolutionary terms to reimagine how to treat it. Oncologists Kenneth Pienta explains why that's made a difference. Listen and learn How researchers apply the principals of evolutionary biology and ecology to cancer, Why an advanced prostate cancer metastasis is like an unchecked invasive species, Why the discovery of a cancer cell exhibiting hibernating-like behavior in a prostate cancer microenvironment is significant, and How this discovery might inform the latest treatment for prostate cancer. Ten million people die worldwide from cancer every year and Dr. Kenneth Pienta and his team are working to change that. Kenneth Pienta is a professor at John Hopkins School of Medicine in Urology, Oncology, Pharmacology, and Molecular Sciences. His research interests include novel therapeutics and the "ecology of cancer," and he helps listeners understand how both these concepts will hopefully save lives. His specific focus is prostate cancer treatment and prostate cancer diagnosis, but many of his findings apply to the ecology of all cancers. He describes one particularly exciting find: they discovered special cancer cells called poly‐aneuploid cancer cells (PACCs): the cells enter a hibernating-like state when they are stressed, such as when treated with chemotherapy. Chemotherapy only kills dividing cells and these cells have stopped dividing, effectively evading death. Once the stress discontinues, they begin dividing again and spreading. Peinta and his colleagues think this explains cancer treatment resistance. He helps listeners understand how this might inform new treatments and outlines three specific approaches they are taking. Along the way, he describes how the body's response—the release of growth factors and substances that lead to conditions like wasting syndrome and other metastatic prostate cancer symptoms—are what make cancer so deadly. Therefore some of the approaches examine meeting the body's response. For more, see his web page: https://www.kennethjpienta.com/ Available on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/2Os0myK

Reconstructing Healthcare:  Innovative Solutions For Employers To Lower Their Healthcare Costs

In this episode, Michael introduces Dr. Simon Mathews, a distinguished researcher, clinician, author, and Chief Medical Officer at Vivante Health. He is also a practicing gastroenterologist at the John Hopkins School of Medicine and the Head of Clinical Innovation at John Hopkin’s Armstrong Institute of Patient Safety and Quality.  Simon’s research centers around understanding and improving the quality of digital health for patients. Unfortunately, he finds that the key issues in healthcare revolve around inefficiency, fragmentation, and a lack of a team-based approach that is centered around the patient’s best interest. This inspired him to work with Vivante Health, so patients with digestive issues could get the personalized, tech-forward support they need to heal. And with digestive disorders—everything from reflux to IBS to autoimmune disorders—making up a burden of $136 billion dollars on an annual basis, it’s clear that there’s a serious need.  Vivante Health serves the large, underappreciated, and sometimes stigmatized realm of digestive disorders with a comprehensive and personalized digital platform. Patients are provided with a care team, including a licensed dietician and health coach, and their progress is supported with app reminders, appointment support, check-ins, and progress reports. Although tech is leveraged to best support the patient and their results, it’s the care team outreach and their personal touch that bridges the gap for truly positive user experience and improved outcomes.  The care team at Vivante Health has an NPS rating of nearly 80. They work primarily with employers and are flexible in the way they integrate with new and existing systems. Although excited for everything currently underway, Simon looks forward to more clinical pathways and screenings in the future to continue to help patients quietly or outwardly suffering from digestive disorders.  Here’s a glance at what we discuss in this episode:  01:00 - Introducing Simon, his accolades, and how he came to work with Vivante Health.  03:00 - He studies the space of digital health, it’s gaps, and it’s solutions, which was a perfect fit for Vivante Health.  04:20 - Key issues in healthcare: Inefficiency, fragmentation, and a lack of a team-based approach. 06:45 - On digestive disorders: Nobody has digestive disease in general, they have something specific like reflux, IBS, a type of liver disease, pancreatitis, etc.  08:25 - Digestive disorders make up a burden of $136 billion annually; they come with a stigma and people don’t always feel comfortable with it.  09:38 - How digestive disorders are being treated today and the cost implications vary widely, as the types of disorders vary. 12:30 - The link between gut health and overall health, including immune and emotional health; there’s a connection. 15:05 - The Vivante Health product and service; the space they serve is large and underappreciated. 15:40 - It’s a comprehensive digital platform that addresses the management of the digestive disease and is integrated with common tech and a care team. 16:15 - With a health coach and licensed dietician, patients get a personalized program based on their history, gaps in care, best practices, and evidence.  19:05 - How they improve the customer experience: App reminders, appointment navigation, health coach support, check-ins, assessment tools, and progress reports.  21:30 - The microbiome assessment: Certain diets/lifestyles have certain bacterial compositions and we can manipulate that bacteria, our microbiome.  25:00 - The clinical rigor and evidence are of utmost importance for Simon and Vivante. 27:30 - How progress is tracked with Vivante Health: Assessments, trend anticipation, self-management improvement, and care team outreach. 30:45 - Their care team NPS rating is almost 80 and people appreciate a personal touch.  31:45 - On cost: Over 2x...

Before the COVID-19 outbreak, 27.5 million Americans did not have health insurance. Only 60% of companies offered their employees health insurance, but even then so many Americans could not afford the premiums because they were high deductible health plans so they could not afford the out-of-pocket cost.

Free2Succeed (0:00:00) As of 2019, almost 2.3 million people are in jail in the United States. For those who have been in jail for months, years, or even decades, readjusting to the world outside of prison can be overwhelming. That is what inspired the creation of Free2Succeed, a program through the Idaho Department of Correction that helps inmates nearing the end of their prison sentence reenter their communities. Today we are joined by its founder, Jeff Kirkman, who's here to talk with us about his program, issues that inmates face and how to help.   Cooking as a First Language (0:15:16) Food is unifying. It brings friends and families together at dinner time and for the holidays. But it can also bring whole communities together and help us connect with people from different cultural backgrounds or from countries who speak different languages. And as America continues to bring in people from all over the world, knowing how to make these connections is becoming more important. Our next guest recognized the power of food as something we can use to find common ground with people in our community. Lauren McElwain is the founder of Cooking as A First Language, a cooking class she started to help people connect with those from different backgrounds.   Go to Bed! (0:34:35) Perhaps you find yourself yawning throughout the day. It's hard to get the full, recommended 7 to 8 hours of sleep when we're constantly pulled from our bed by family, work, and our phones. Are we just doomed to be constantly tired? To answer this question, we invited Dr. Susheel Patil, a sleep expert who teaches at John Hopkins School of Medicine, on the show to teach us more about how to maximize our sleepy times.   Becoming a In-law (0:50:36) Your first child just got married. You've sent the happy couple off on their honeymoon, gathered the gifts, and cleaned up the reception center. The wedding might be over, but a whole new chapter has just begun. You're now a mother-or father-in-law. We've all heard horror stories about monster in-laws, so how can we be the best in-laws possible? Well friend of the show Jeanette Bennett is right in the thick of this transition of becoming a new mother-in-law. Her two oldest kids got married within one month of each other, so we have invited her on the show to talk about her new role as a mother-in-law.   Food for Hope (1:06:55) Last year, over 29 million children participated in the free or reduced-price lunch program. It's great to have these resources available to so many struggling families and students. However, it comes at a high cost—over 13 billion dollars! With this high maintenance price, the government can't afford to help students on the weekends and with snacks throughout the day. The city of Thornton, Colorado noticed this issue in 2014 and decided to take action. From there, the nonprofit Food for Hope was born. Here to tell us all about it is Emily Stromquist, the executive director of Food for Hope.   Sexual Education (1:25:25) Sexual education can be an uncomfortable topic no matter what age you're at. But, striving to overcome that awkwardness will only help us prepare for the conversations about sex that we're bound to have with doctors, kids, and others in our lives. Today we're talking with Dr. Anna Cabeca, a menopause and sexual health expert. She's going to give us some tips on making sexual education a comfortable experience for all parties.

American foreign policy is in a state of upheaval. The rise of Donald Trump and his "America First" platform have created more uncertainty about America's role in the world than at any time in recent decades. From the South China Sea, to the Middle East, to the Baltics and Eastern Europe, the geopolitical challenges to U.S. power and influence seem increasingly severe―and America's responses to those challenges seem increasingly unsure. Questions that once had widely accepted answers are now up for debate. What role should the United States play in the world? Can, and should, America continue to pursue an engaged an assertive strategy in global affairs?In this book, a leading scholar of grand strategy helps to make sense of the headlines and the upheaval by providing sharp yet nuanced assessments of the most critical issues in American grand strategy today. Hal Brands asks, and answers, such questions as: Has America really blundered aimlessly in the world since the end of the Cold War, or has its grand strategy actually been mostly sensible and effective? Is America in terminal decline, or can it maintain its edge in a harsher and more competitive environment? Did the Obama administration pursue a policy of disastrous retrenchment, or did it execute a shrewd grand strategy focused on maximizing U.S. power for the long term? Does Donald Trump's presidency mean that American internationalism is dead? What type of grand strategy might America pursue in the age of Trump and after? What would happen if the United States radically pulled back from the world, as many leading academics―and, at certain moments, the current president―have advocated? How much military power does America need in the current international environment?Grappling with these kinds of issues is essential to understanding the state of America's foreign relations today and what path the country might take in the years ahead. Join us to discuss American Grand Strategy in the Age of Trump with author Hal Brands and Lester Munson of the BGR Group.Featuring: Hal Brands, Henry A. Kissinger Distinguished Professor, Henry A.
