Episode 25 of Season 3 of The RUN TMC Podcast is part one of a two-part special with Marin County basketball icon Steve Lavin. Coach Lavin traces his journey from Drake High School's 1982 undefeated state champions to a 38-year career as a college coach and national broadcaster. This episode focuses on Lavin's early years: growing up in a large, culturally rich family, playing on the historic Drake teams of the 1980s, and learning under coaching greats like Pete Hayward and later mentors such as Bob Knight and Gene Keady. The episode also covers Lavin's Pirate Camp roots, summer grind, formative practice habits, and what it took to break into Division I coaching — including personal stories about hardship, mentorship and living lean as a young assistant. Listeners will hear stories about Lavin's time at Purdue and Indiana, behind-the-scenes clips recorded at Drake/Archie Williams and The Brazen Head in San Francisco, and reflections on coaching philosophies, humor, and the role of parents and mentors. Expect compelling anecdotes about ejections, the flex offense, coaching influences, and the gratitude that shapes Lavin's perspective. Part 1 ends with a preview of Part 2, which digs deeper into Lavin's UCLA years, national-title experience, broadcasting career, and further coaching insights.

What’s really behind the “Ozempic era”—and is it changing how America thinks about weight, health, and discipline? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with weight loss expert Dr. Tom Lavin to break down the truth about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. From Hollywood’s sudden transformation to everyday Americans turning to injections, this conversation goes beyond the hype to uncover the real risks, benefits, and long-term consequences. They discuss how GLP-1 drugs actually work in the brain, why they’re being called a game-changer for obesity, and the growing concerns around misuse—especially among already-thin individuals. Dr. Lavin explains why these medications aren’t a magic fix, the importance of maintaining muscle mass, and how improper use can lead to serious health issues. Plus, they dive into the surprising link between GLP-1s and addiction control, the lack of medical oversight in today’s fast-growing weight loss industry, and what patients should be asking before starting treatment. If you’ve been curious about Ozempic, weight loss injections, or the future of metabolic health, this is a must-listen conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, Brent Lavin shares how two decades in product and portfolio management at GE Healthcare, C.R. Bard, and BD shaped his mission to help Series A and B medtech startups build commercial logic into every stage of innovation. Brent breaks down what surprised him most moving from strategics to early-stage teams and why large companies often operate like startups when resources must be earned through influence, not authority. The conversation dives into how his engineering training powers a structured, “marketing-as-a-science” approach to product management, the most-missed elements of customer discovery, and a concrete example of winning by simplifying a “Cadillac” product into a segmented solution. Brent also unpacks what strategics look for in acquisitions plus lessons from LSI, leadership, and the discipline of endurance running.Brent Lavin LinkedInIronwood Medtech Partners LinkedInDuane Mancini LinkedInProject Medtech WebsiteProject Medtech LinkedInThank you to our sponsors: Ward Law and JumpStart Inc.

The Reagan presidency marked a turning point in American political history, bringing in changes in voting allegiances, long-lasting economic and foreign policy shifts, and a new direction in the country's political culture that lasted for decades. Now former Reagan aide Frank Lavin comes to Commonwealth Club World Affairs to share behind-the-scenes stories of the Reagan White House. Drawing on his new book Inside the Reagan White House: A Front-Row Seat to Presidential Leadership with Lessons for Today, Lavin includes a mix of personal stories, insights on the president, discussions of policy and historical events, and crazy, colorful anecdotes in his insider's look at the Reagan presidency. The Reagan assassination attempt, the Gorbachev Reykjavik summit, Ollie North and the Contras, the 1988 Bush-Dukakis contest and other critical moments of the Reagan years are all covered. Lavin also offers original insights into Reagan cabinet members and other top players, along with personal anecdotes, off-hand comments, and unique family details. Not to mention the movie stars, Soviet spies, neo-Nazis, plain old Nazis, intimate affairs, fights on planes, and con men who were chased by Interpol. But Lavin says that at the heart of his story are the thousands of dedicated Americans who helped Ronald Reagan as he worked to push back against the Soviet Union, promote democracy, improve trade, lower taxes, and reduce the size and scope of government—back when those were the main focuses of conservative Republicans. Join us to discuss whether the Reagan years provide us with any lessons for our current political situation. A Humanities Member-led Forum program.

One of the most worrisome trends impacting our nation's public health right now is the spread of misinformation about the risks and benefits of vaccines. Tragically, this sobering development is on display right now in our state where multiple outbreaks of measles – a dangerous and sometimes deadly and debilitating illness – have emerged thanks to the failure of parents to secure vaccination for their children. And it's in light of developments like this that an array of experts and average citizens are pushing back with accurate information and advocacy, and recently we caught up with one of the leaders of that effort – veteran Ohio-based pediatrician Dr. Arthur Lavin. Lavin helps lead a national organization called Grandparents for Vaccines and as he told Newsline, he and his colleagues in this effort are determined to remind Americans of some simple truths about communicable disease that many have forgotten. Click here for the full interview with Dr. Arthur Lavin of Grandparents for Vaccines.

Send us a textFew people enter the MedTech world because of a personal experience with the technology itself—but for Brent Lavin, that's exactly where it began. At just 23 years old, a CT scan that revealed an urgent medical issue also sparked a lifelong passion for medical technology and its power to save lives. That moment became the foundation of a career devoted to driving innovation in healthcare.Brent's early engineering work revealed an exceptional talent for connecting technical possibility with human need. Over the next two decades, he would lead cross-functional teams through more than 20 successful product launches, three mergers and acquisitions, and hundreds of millions of dollars in portfolio growth. His leadership—marked by curiosity, clarity, and conviction—has earned him accolades such as BD's Director of the Year and the CEO Excellence Award.Today, as Director of Strategic Growth at BD, Brent is responsible for identifying high-impact opportunities for both organic development and targeted acquisitions. Previously, he served as Director of Marketing and Product Management, where he led global teams across multiple disease states to record-breaking revenue growth, even in the face of pandemic-era supply chain challenges.Before joining BD, Brent spent years at GE Healthcare, where he honed his product management and global commercialization expertise, launching next-generation ultrasound systems that achieved over 200% year-over-year growth. His career reflects a rare blend of technical grounding, marketing strategy, and human-centered leadership—built on a mission to deliver meaningful innovation to clinicians and patients worldwide.Beyond the numbers, Brent is known for building high-performing teams and mentoring leaders who thrive in complex environments. Whether he's shaping go-to-market strategies, integrating newly acquired companies, or guiding engineers toward greater clarity and impact, his approach is grounded in purpose: to help people and teams reach their full potential while bringing life-changing technologies to market.

There's a big difference between knowing what is best of your city's transportation system, and knowing how to fight the often fierce political battles you need to win in order to make it real. Fortunately, one author has written a manual to help transit advocates across America do exactly that, from picking campaigns out of the tangle of interlocking transportation challenges that ensnare our cities, to winning over the skeptical — and everything in between. On this episode of The Brake, we're joined by Carter Lavin's to discuss his new book "If You Want to Win, You've Got To Fight: A Guide to Effective Transportation Advocacy," which host Kea Wilson called "the book the transportation reform movement has been waiting for."

This episode was first published in October 2024, and has been un-paywalled following the death this week, on August 21, of Focus on the Family founder and influential figure on the religious right, James Dobson, at age 89. Subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon to hear more episodes just for subscribers.In this episode, Matt is joined by journalist Talia Lavin to discuss her book, Wild Faith: How the Christian Right is Taking Over America, one of the most fascinating and unique books published on the Christian right during the Trump-era. Lavin takes her subjects seriously, but not uncritically, and especially focuses on the wrecked and ruined lives left in the wake of conservative evangelicalism's more conspiratorial and authoritarian elements, from the Satanic Panic to James Dobson's parenting manual on how to discipline a "strong-willed child" into compliance. Along the way, they talk about the triumph of QAnon, End Times theology, the importance of the New Apostolic Reformation, and more—all with an eye toward how these religious views and practices help explain conservative evangelicals' overwhelming support for Donald Trump.Sources:Talia Lavin, Wild Faith: How the Christian Right Is Taking Over America (2024)— Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy (2020)— "The Sword and the Sandwich" (Talia's newsletter)Listen again:"The Prayers and Prophecies of Pat Robertson," Know Your Enemy, July 17, 2023
