Podcasts about Make It Better

Write down what you know you can do to get closer. But here's the secret: do it as an offering. The joy lives in the doing itself. The journey isn't something to complete—each step is complete. You're whole right now. Your gradual becoming is a gift. Your transitions are a gift.There's a version of you—your highest self, your fullest potential, your most compassionate, wealthiest self in all ways—and she's already speaking to you. Can you hear her? Can you clear away enough to listen?Make It Better, AlwaysThis is the insight that moves me: make it better than you found it.Invest in your physical health, your mental clarity, your spiritual practice, your financial wisdom. These are the levers. Where you place your attention grows. It expands. It compounds.Fear and scarcity are the cheapest rooms in the house. But there's a Grand Pavilion waiting for you—a limitless fountain of bounty in all aspects.You can uplift the standards of what's possible for you.https://www.Startearlytoday.com

Moving Towards Stewardship Leaders Make It Better Matthew 25:29 (ESV) — "For to everyone who has more will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away." I've had the privilege of visiting Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on four separate occasions. Every visit left its own unique impression. The first time, it was the awe of standing beneath those soaring ceilings, seeing the beautiful stained glass and the iconic art. It was nine hundred years of church history silently speaking through the cathedral itself. Notre Dame is a masterpiece. On my second visit, I had the privilege of taking my daughter. It was special experiencing the church through the eyes of a child. You notice things, new things, and appreciate them even more. Then came April 15, 2019. The world watched as fire broke out beneath the roof. For nearly fifteen hours, flames consumed one of the most recognizable structures on Earth. The ancient oak roof collapsed and the iconic spire crashed through the ceiling. For a moment, it felt like history was reduced to ashes. No one thought Notre-Dame could ever be rebuilt. My most recent visit was in 2022, during the restoration. This time the crowds were not there to admire the cathedral, they were watching the craftsmen. Massive scaffolding surrounded the building as stone masons carefully replaced centuries-old limestone, one block at a time. Carpenters hand-shaped oak beams using techniques that had nearly disappeared from history. I later watched a documentary about the restoration and learned that many of these craftsmen had to relearn forgotten skills just to faithfully restore what had been entrusted to them. This is a picture of stewardship in the kingdom! None of those craftsmen were restoring something that belonged to them, they were rebuilding something sacred that was entrusted to them. They gave every stone, every beam, and every detail the care of an owner because they understood their assignment as faithful stewards. Page 1 of 4   Own what you don't own. Grace World isn't nine hundred years old, but it is over ninety. Our church was built by faithful men and women who came before us, and it is now entrusted to us in the same way that one day it will be entrusted to those who come after us. We know that Grace World does not belong to us, it belongs to the Lord. We simply have the privilege of stewarding it for this season. That understanding carries a weight. One day, each of us will give an account for how we led in this season. The question that matters is, did we lead with the heart of the master or did we behave like a foolish servant?   The Talent Was a Test, Not a Reward Jesus tells a parable in Matthew 25 about a master preparing to leave on a journey. Before he departs, he entrusts his property to three servants. He gives them no detailed instructions. He simply places what belongs to him into their hands and leaves. Two of the servants immediately go to work. They invest what they have been entrusted, and each doubles it. When the master returns, he speaks the words every follower of Christ longs to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant." But the third servant responds differently. Out of fear, he buries his talent in the ground. When the master returns, he explains himself: "I knew you to be a hard man… so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground," (Matthew 25:24-25, ESV). Get this! It is entirely possible to become so afraid of getting it wrong that you bury the very thing God trusted you with. You keep the ministry small enough to manage instead of growing it large enough to require faith. You hold tightly to your roles and responsibilities rather than delegating. You hold off on the decision or the opportunity because it feels risky. You call it being careful. God calls it burying the talent. When the master comes to demand an account, he isn't angry because the servant failed to double the talent like the other two. He is angry because the servant didn't even try. The issue was never what the servant was given. The issue was always what the servant did with what he had been given. THE TALENT WAS NEVER THE REWARD. THE TALENT WAS THE TEST.   "For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away." Matthew 25:29 (ESV) The principle here is clear—God entrusts us before He increases us! We Are Entrusted with Two Treasures Every leader is currently stewarding two kinds of treasure. And it is so much more than finances. These are the decisions, the appointments, the meetings, the ministry, and every conversation you have. Kingdom treasure fits in two different chests.   First — I steward WHAT God places in my hands. These are the resources you are entrusted with. Your time. Your treasure. Your talents. Your opportunities. Every one of them is a Kingdom tool, and every one of them is on loan. Am I maximizing what God has already placed in my hands or am I sitting on it?   Second — I steward WHO God places in my care. These are the relationships you are entrusted with. Your soul. Your family. Your team. Your church. Your neighbor. Kingdom leadership is not the stewardship of programs. It is the stewardship of people. Remember, in the kingdom, we are entrusted with resources so that we can better steward the relationships because in the kingdom, people are the mission!   What A Faithful Steward Knows Everything belongs to God. A faithful steward understands that they own nothing but steward everything. The moment I start treating a role as mine, resources as mine, the platform as mine, results as mine, I am no longer behaving as a faithful steward but a foolish servant. The foolish servant says, "My ministry. My people. My success." They forget that a faithful steward holds everything with an open hand because they know whose hand it actually came from. Stewardship dies the moment our possessions replaces our surrender. Faithfulness comes before increase. God doesn't send more until we've proven faithful with what we already have. Before asking God for more, have you fully stewarded what you already have? Where you see lack, ask two questions. First: Where is waste quietly eating away at my resources and my relationships? And second: Where do I have a surplus I've been protecting instead of investing? The increase you're praying for usually walks in through the door of the small thing you've been faithful with. God is watching how you steward the little before He entrusts you with the large. 3. Stewardship is measured by multiplication, not accumulation. God does not measure what you accumulate. He measures what multiplies because it passed through your hands. Everything that passes through a faithful steward should become more fruitful. That means the ministry is healthier, the leaders are more capable, and the people are further along than when you first met them. This means the ultimate test of your stewardship is not what you hold on to but what you hand off. That is our assignment. Not to accumulate resources and relationships around ourselves but to steward those things so well that we hand them back to the Lord stronger than the day it was handed to us. If your area of ministry could not survive your absence, you have been accumulating. If it is being built to outlast you, you are multiplying it. Putting Your Talent to Work Carry your area like the outcome is yours to answer for. Notice the broken thing before  it becomes a crisis. Invest the talent instead of burying it out of fear. Treat the people entrusted to you as a trust you will one day give an account for. We are all stewards of something we did not build and will not lay the final stone in place. We are the current stewards. Ninety-two years of faithfulness came before us, and generations will come after us. We are craftsmen on a very long project. Refuse to be the ones who cut corners or fail to invest in the present. Carry this house with the master's heart one stone, one beam, one leader, one person at a time. Questions What am I under-stewarding? What gift, person, or opportunity have I been sitting on instead of investing? What have I over-controlled instead of entrusted? Where have I buried a talent by holding on too tightly and calling it "being careful"? Who needs more of my attention than my agenda? Which person entrusted to me have I been managing around instead of investing in? What resource am I sitting on instead of multiplying? What has God already placed in my hands that I keep meaning to put to work? If God evaluated my stewardship today, where would He say "Well done" and where would He ask me to grow?

AI is changing how we search, browse, shop, learn and make decisions online. But as AI becomes the new interface to the internet, one big question emerges: will AI break the internet, or make it better?

In most marriages, one spouse has a higher desire for intimacy, while the other has a lower desire. And if you're being honest… navigating that difference can feel exhausting, confusing, and lonely.You talk about it. You have the hard conversations. Things improve for a few days… maybe even a week. But then somehow, you find yourselves stuck in the exact same argument again and again, wondering why nothing is actually changing and why your spouse still doesn't seem to hear or respond to what you need.So what do you do when communication alone isn't working?The truth is, you are far from alone.This week on the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, Nick and Amy have sex therapist Austin on to discuss one of the most common. and emotionally charged struggles couples face: mismatched desire in marriage. They unpack why couples keep having the same frustrating conversations, what's really happening underneath the conflict, and how to finally create lasting change and deeper connection together.

Episode web page: https://bit.ly/42TFjM4 Episode summary: In this episode of Insights Unlocked, Manú Bartlett speaks with Pedro Hernandez, advocacy manager for EMEA and Latin America at Figma, about how AI is reshaping design, leadership, and the future of creative work. Drawing from more than 15 years of experience across UX, product design, and design operations, Pedro shares why the industry is moving beyond a narrow focus on speed and toward a deeper balance between experimentation, craft, and human-centered thinking. Pedro explores how design communities across Europe and Latin America are adapting to AI in different ways, why leaders must rethink how they evaluate design work in the age of rapid prototyping, and how “craft” now means being intentional, critical, and thoughtful when collaborating with AI tools. He also discusses the growing importance of soft skills, curiosity, and research as teams become more multidisciplinary again. The conversation also dives into how leaders can stay connected to customer needs while navigating AI-driven workflows, why experimentation matters at every level of an organization, and how Figma is researching what design leaders truly need from modern collaboration tools. You'll learn: How AI is changing the relationship between speed, experimentation, and design craft Why the best design leaders are learning to balance rapid production with intentional decision-making What “craft” means in the era of AI-powered design workflows How Latin American and European design communities are approaching AI differently Why curiosity, research, and soft skills are becoming more important in modern product teams How leaders can stay closer to customers while adopting new AI tools and workflows Why the future of design may look more multidisciplinary and collaborative again Resources & links Pedro Hernandez on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/pedrohernandez/) Figma's Config (https://config.figma.com/) Figma's State of Design report (https://www.figma.com/state-of-design/) Manú Bartlett on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/manubartlett/) Nathan Isaacs on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanisaacs/) Learn more about Insights Unlocked: https://www.usertesting.com/podcast

This isn't working anymore... Too many churches keep running the same plays that used to work, even when the results have clearly changed. Ministry is a moving target, and what worked in 2010 doesn't automatically work in 2026. The ministry landscape has shifted, and it's time to make some upgrades.  At The Unstuck Group, one of our core values is "Make It Better," and we are committed to practicing what we preach. So, in this series, we're being honest about where we've had to upgrade our own thinking and why we think you should, too. In this episode, Sean is joined by Tiffany Deluccia, our Director of Business Development, to discuss a topic that might be one of the most talked about—but least understood topics—in ministry: the difference between vision and direction. And why, in this era, we've learned that clear direction wins. The problem with "organizational statement clutter" The design flaw in the traditional format of vision statements Creating concrete, current and actionable direction   This Episode is Sponsored by Planning Center:  Planning Center is software designed to help churches help people.

Who made everything boring!?

Moving Towards TensionLeaders Make It Better "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." (Hebrews 12:11, ESV) True growth is painful. It comes after testing, heat, pressure, or resistance. Most people run from the pain of tension, but wisdom tells us tension is necessary if you want to keep growing. Likewise, an organization will not grow by eliminating all tension; it grows by embracing it in a healthy way. Consider this: Toyota is known for building vehicles with remarkable reliability. They consistently hold some of the highest resale values in the automotive market and are regularly recognized for longevity and durability. But Toyota did not become synonymous with quality by accident. In the decades following World War II, Japanese automakers were not globally respected. Toyota had to fight its way into credibility. Their breakthrough came when they made a radical decision to prioritize quality over speed. While many manufacturers focused on producing more cars faster, Toyota chose a different path. They developed what became known as the Toyota Production System, often referred to as Lean Manufacturing. Lean manufacturing removes unnecessary complexity. It strips away waste. It refuses to grow comfortable with inefficiency. But perhaps most remarkable is this: Toyota literally built tension into their assembly line. At the center of their system is something called the Andon system (Andon means lantern in Japanese). Running alongside the assembly line is a bright cord. At any moment, any worker, regardless of rank, can pull that cord. And when they do, the entire production line stops. Not slows down. It stops. In an industry obsessed with speed and output, Toyota empowers the person with their hands on the product to halt the entire line if they see something wrong. Why? Because they understand that small tension now, prevents catastrophic failure later. So what does that mean for us? If a company can embrace tension in a system that produces cars, why would we try to avoid it in a church that is building people? Tension is the stretch we feel when growth pulls us beyond our current comfort. It's not a sign that something is wrong; it's a sign that something needs to grow. Learning how to lean into it and use it is key. Let me give you a practical example. Since September, we've seen a significant increase in first-time guests. At the same time, I felt something was off in our follow-up systems. We're not seeing the retention I expected, so I "pulled the cord," in a manner of speaking. What we found was alarming. Systems we designed years ago are no longer adequate or effective for where we are now. We became too comfortable with automation. Our contact reads like scripts and templates. It isn't personal. It isn't surprising that we haven't received a reply to any of our texts or emails since October. It hasn't been personal; it hasn't felt real. Personal is powerful, and artificial is inauthentic. If we want God to keep sending people, we have to truly see people. Do you feel the tension? HOW TO MOVE TOWARDS TENSION 1. RECOGNIZE TOMORROW'S GROWTH REQUIRES TODAY'S PAIN Two months ago, I shared "Moving Away from Complexity." I didn't realize at the time just how timely that message would be for us. We've worked hard to move from an older version of Grace World to the healthy expression we have today. Yet this cannot be our stopping place. There is a future version of our church that is leaner and stronger than we are right now. Getting there will require the right amount of pain. We have to embrace the tension. Time under tension is the only way to produce growth. If you've been feeling tension, that's a good thing. Lean into it. Don't run from it. If you haven't been feeling tension, it's likely you're too comfortable and need to challenge yourself. Comfort says, "This is what got us here." Leaning into tension asks, "What will get us there?" • Look for your current pain points. • Find a leadership book, podcast, or coach that will stretch you. The key is to decide today that you will embrace the tension. 2. ASK, "IS IT MISSION CRITICAL?" We are not a program-driven church. We are a mission-driven church. We show people who Jesus is and introduce them to the fullness of life that He offers. We help people discover life in fullness. To do this… We Awaken hearts. We Connect in community. We Train for purpose. We Send into fullness. Everything we do should be regularly run through that filter: Does this awaken? Does this connect? Does this train? Does this send? If it doesn't clearly move someone toward life in its fullness, we must refine it or release it. A clear mission should create tension. Every program. Every event. Every activity. Every role. Each must answer the question: How is this mission-critical? • Review your events and ministries through the lens of our mission. • Look for measurable fruit. • Are you duplicating efforts? • Where are you doing too much? • Make sure you and your team know exactly how this moves the mission forward. Remember, clarity of mission protects our calling. 3. MAKE FEEDBACK YOUR FRIEND Every member of this team needs to be able to pull on the rope. You see things we can't see. We cannot fix or refine what we refuse to see. Invite them into the feedback loop. We depend on an amazing team of pastors, campus staff, group leaders, and Kids and Student leaders. It takes teamwork to make this dream work. When was the last time you invited feedback or felt that yours was truly welcome? Normalize post-event debriefs: • What worked? • What didn't? • Where was there confusion? • What was missing? • Schedule regular check-ins with key teams and leaders. • Invite input before making major adjustments. • Ask, "What are you seeing that we are missing?" • Reward their honesty, not just their harmony. A lack of feedback usually means we've grown comfortable. You have to challenge the system. 4. HAVE THE HARD CONVERSATIONS You cannot move a team or organization forward without embracing hard conversations. These are the conversations that challenge the status quo while moving us toward the mission. Avoiding these conversations may protect your comfort, but having them protects our culture.• Separate identity from assignment. • Anchor the conversation in our vision and values. • Remember, the first goal of communication is clarity. • Land on clear action steps. If we know our vision and live out our values, we already have a framework for every hard conversation. It's built into the culture. Pull on the rope! SHARPING THE EDGE If we want to stay sharp as a church, as leaders, and as a team, we cannot run from tension. We must lean into it. The right kind of tension is not a threat to our culture; it is proof that we care enough to grow. So here is the action step: pull the cord. This week, identify one area where something feels "off" in your ministry, your systems, or even in yourself and address it directly. Don't ignore it. Don't normalize it. Lean into it. Remember, leaders make it better. And sometimes making it better means embracing the friction that sharpens us.

Mid February 2026, making things better

Moving Away From ComplexityLeaders Make It Better "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 (ESV) What is the purpose of pruning… that less… produces more As organizations, ministries, leaders grow, so does complexity. However, complexity is not a necessity. Great leaders make things better—not by adding more, but by doing less, better. As I write this, SpaceX launched its first rocket of the year early this morning. Last year set a record for the number of launches, and this year is already on track to surpass it. SpaceX has pioneered lower-cost rockets that not only launch but return safely to Earth—a concept that was considered impossible just a few years ago. But a team of the best engineers on the planet, paired with a visionary leader willing to attempt the unthinkable, proved the doubters wrong. I recently saw Elon Musk post a picture showing the evolution of their Raptor rocket engines. These engines are ultimately designed to carry humanity to Mars. But to me, the true marvel lies in how each version has been refined. Raptor 1 looked like a tangled mess of wires, tubes, and complexity. It worked, but it was difficult to build, maintain, and reproduce. Raptor 2 was a major step forward—cleaner, more streamlined, and a genuine engineering breakthrough. Yet, the team didn't stop there. Raptor 3, the latest version, is elegant in its simplicity. It's powerful, efficient, and ruthlessly refined— the result of hundreds of intentional decisions to remove what didn't belong and simplify what remained. Elon Musk's team didn't arrive here by accident. They followed a radical but effective design philosophy. "Every requirement is dumb until proven otherwise. Delete it. Simplify. Optimize. Accelerate. Only then do you automate." This isn't just how you build rockets; it's a masterclass in leading toward simplicity. When I arrived at Grace eight years ago, we found over 50 separate ministries operating under the banner of the church. Most were siloed, competing with one another for resources and attention. We made the intentional decision to move from 50 things to four. It was a deliberate shift away from complexity. It's a timeless problem. As organizations grow, complexity inevitably creeps in. Often, it's not bad things, it's good things that no longer serve the mission. Sacred cows. Outdated processes. Organizational comfort zones. If we don't intentionally prune them, we'll never move with the power and speed the Spirit desires. Remember the words of Jesus: "Every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 What Space X Can Teach Leaders 1. Question Everything "Every requirement is dumb until proven otherwise." As leaders, it's our responsibility to question every process, system, and program we engage with. We should consistently ask, "Does this serve the mission?"—until we can either validate it or eliminate it. Why do we hold this meeting? How many of these programs are truly necessary? Can one person do this instead of two? Can this leader handle more responsibility? Why does it take three classes and three months to move someone toward membership? How hard is it to onboard new leaders? Why are we using more than one communication platform? Just because something worked in a past move of God doesn't mean it belongs in the next. 2. Delete, Delete, Delete You can't simplify clutter. Before you simplify, you must eliminate. Craig Groeschel challenges his leaders to keep a "stop doing list" alongside their "to-do list." It's logical—you can't add something new until you remove something old. This year, we made the decision to eliminate our Midweek Fire service to make room for the mission. We asked: Why do we need two weekly services focused on awakening—especially when Sunday is already our strongest and most effective service for that purpose? By removing the Wednesday service, we created space and opportunity for more Grace Groups to meet on campus. That shift better aligns with our vision to train and send. What weekly or monthly meeting can be eliminated or consolidated? What process or system could lose a step or two? What volunteer or leader could be repositioned or reallocated? I promise, you can do more than you think, with less than you think you need. Eliminate what no longer helps people discover life in all its fullness. 3. Clarify What Remains Once something is stripped down to its essential parts, you must then clarify it. Every program, system, activity needs a clear and identifiable win. Every leader needs a clear and simple expectation. Clarity is essential for both mission and movement. What is the win for our Sunday service? What's the expectation for Next Steps? What's the goal of your weekly connection points? What's the purpose of your one-on-one meetings? "Write the vision; make it plain… so that he may run who reads it." (Habakkuk 2:2) Clarity empowers people to run with vision. 4. Accelerate Timeframes What is your big, bold goal for this year? What if you accelerated your timeframe? Instead of going for it slowly over the year, what if you hit it hard for 90 days? Chances are you will not make it… but what if you do? Or how much further will you be along the journey because you accelerated? When you move swiftly and quickly, it might be messy, but it could also be more missional! Remember, the Acts church moved fast because they trusted the Spirit and empowered people. So can we. 5. Automate Last I love automation. This is where systems and programs operate without your constant intervention. However The temptation is to automate first. However if you automate while there is still clutter you will only create confusion. This is why automation is the last step. Today there is a wealth of tools and resources that can steam-line processes, automate tasks and communications. Before you lock them in… make sure that the process has been perfected. Leaders Make It Better This is one of Grace World's 5 Core Leadership Behaviors: Leaders Make It Better. It means we leave things better than we found them. We don't settle for "this is how we've always done it." We treat "it is what it is" like a curse word. We question everything. We eliminate what's unnecessary. We clarify constantly. We move at the speed of the Spirit. And we multiply what matters. As leaders, we take initiative to clear obstacles. We don't wait for someone else to do it. Questions 1. What is one area in your ministry you can simplify this week to make it better? 2. What is a system, step, or sacred cow that needs to be challenged? 3. Where have you settled for the status quo instead of stewarding revival? "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life… so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." – 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 Follow Up Questions What is on thing you will STOP doing in the next 30 days? What is one thing you need to SIMIPLIFY in your life immediately? What is one BIG BOLD goal you can SPEED up?

SummaryNick Cohen and Professor Alan Manning - economist and one of the country's leading experts on immigration - discuss the impact of immigration on Western democracies, including its role in recent and upcoming elections, as well as the resurgence of right-wing movements driven by immigration-related fears. Alan Manning, a professor at the London School of Economics, explains the complexities of immigration policy and the challenges of balancing migration capacity with global inequality. Nick and Alan discuss various policy approaches, including temporary protection measures and the need for international cooperation, while criticising overly simplistic solutions and highlighting the importance of realistic immigration policies.Political charlatans such as Nigel Farage mis-sold Brexit claiming it would help the uK "take back control" of its borders. Ironically, they may helped helped create huge increases in net immigration in recent years, as well as encourage the small boats bringing asylum seekers across the Channel from France. Now the same political grifters are relentlessly campaigning on the issue of immigration to get votes and win power. It's time to explain the issues driving immigration and explode the myths of immigration, rather than exploit them.Read all about it!Professor Alan Manning - @alanmanning4 formerly Chairman of UK's Migration Advisory Committee has been investigating the issue for his new book, Why Immigration Policy Is Hard: And How to Make It Better is published by PolityNick Cohen's @NickCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

Roberta Hawkins + Leslie Kern share about their book, Higher Expectations: How to Survive Academia, Make it Better for Others, and Transform the University on episode 595 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode We advise lots of different ways of rethinking our relationship with work in the book. -Roberta Hawkins You can't solve institutional problems with individual sacrifices. -Leslie Kern We are not cogs in an institutional machine. -Roberta Hawkins One of the challenges, is the idea that our work is kind of a calling. It's a passion project. The institution knows that we love our work and that we are passionate about our students and that we care about bringing great ideas to fruition in the world, so it will extract every little drop of that from you in terms of your time and energy. -Leslie Kern Invisibilized labor is an equity issue as well as a workload issue. -Roberta Hawkins Resources Higher Expectations: How to Survive Academia, Make It Better for Others, and Transform the University, by Roberta Hawkins and Leslie Kern What you didn't learn in class: Revealing the hidden curriculum, by Lindsay Vreeland, Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning at Northern Illinois University Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life's Purpose, by Martha Beck

Episode 123 Musings With Spirit: Looking For Someone or Something To Make It Better? During a meditation this week, I asked Spirit to stop screwing around and just give me the answer. They did. It was taking a bit for me to process, so as I was recording for Spirit Voices today, I began channeling the full message to help me understand why I think something or someone will make my life better. This is my connection to Spirit every day. I'm more aware now of the underlying need and the unconscious reason I did what I did in this life and my past life with Abraham Lincoln.  We are scheduling now for Season Two.

BioOsteosarcoma Webinar Series: Brian Ladle, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Oncology and Pediatrics at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, joins us on OsteoBites to discuss deciphering the impact of STING agonists on the tumor microenvironment in osteosarcoma.We have learned that more engagement of the immune system and osteosarcoma results in better outcomes - even when patients are given standard chemotherapy. We have found that drugs that activate the STING pathway in osteosarcoma tumors result in greater immune cell invasion into the tumors. This corresponds with improved outcomes when combined with chemotherapy and other immunotherapies. Dr. Ladle will discuss these findings and what steps we are taking to bring this closer to clinical trials for osteosarcoma patients.Dr. Brian Ladle is a pediatric oncologist, sarcoma specialist, and immunotherapy researcher at Johns Hopkins University. His research centers around the goal of generating potent immune responses against pediatric sarcoma tumors - especially osteosarcoma. Ongoing projects encompass preclinical work using osteosarcoma mouse models and osteosarcoma clinical trials in both dogs and humans. He really believes immunotherapy approaches can be effective against osteosarcoma and will become a key piece to "Make It Better" for osteosarcoma patients.

I recently began to realize there are some parallels between podcast editing and life, in that they both require embracing messiness. Whether it's editing episodes for clarity, or juggling unexpected house guests and toddler tantrums, I challenge you (and myself) to consider how our own imperfections make us better, more human, and ultimately, more capable of love and connection. This isn't about achieving flawlessness; it's about understanding how our imperfections are essential to our growth, our relationships, and the lives we're creating. Join me for a thought-provoking conversation about self-acceptance and the unexpected beauty of imperfection.

Former head of the FBI's intelligence branch Kevin Brock has sadly passed away at the age of 69 after a years-long battle with cancer. Kevin helped reshape the bureau's intelligence gathering capabilities in the aftermath of the September 11th terror attacks and more recently sounded the alarm about America's weakened border security. Brock was a frequent guest on John Solomon Reports and "Just The News, No Noise" hosted by John Solomon and Amanda Head and was widely respected among current and retired agents. You can read more about Kevin's personal and professional life in his obituary or in Steven Richards' latest article published on JustTheNews.com (links are below).Obituary: https://www.colonialfuneralhome.com/obituary/kevin-brockNews Article: https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/kevin-brock-former-head-fbis-intelligence-branch-diesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
