Want the playbook, not just the conversation? Subscribe for deep-dive, actionable breakdowns from every episode at unchurned.substack.com.What does it take to run 60% of a company? Garrett Marker, Chief Revenue Officer at Brex, oversees about 700 people across sales, customer success, RevOps, partnerships, enablement, and support - and this year, his goal was to aggressively scale a sales team that industry data recently ranked the third-fastest growing in tech, without letting rep performance slip. It hasn't all gone to plan. Garrett is refreshingly candid with host Josh Schachter, grading the scaling effort a "B" - what held up, what broke, and how his team turned around a slumping segment in dramatic fashion. Along the way, he explains why the battle cards that used to last a quarter now go stale in about a week, why Brex bet on human SDRs while the market rushed toward AI ones, and why the hardest part of AI products isn't selling them at all.It's a look inside the operating decisions of a CRO whose remit spans the entire customer lifecycle - from first touch through renewal and expansion. ---What You'll Learn- How a struggling Brex segment did two months' worth of revenue in eight days and the AI-assisted diagnosis behind the course correction- Why battle cards that used to last a quarter are now stale within about a week- How AI role plays and automated call scoring turned weeks or months of rep ramp into hours or days- Garrett's build-vs-buy rule- What Brex's internally built "narrative platform" does that seller-productivity tools don't (mapping the full buyer's journey across sales, CS, and support)- The question Garrett asked at the end of every demo as a seller and the rep whose career it transformed in three months- How the TAP program works- Why adoption, not sales, is the bottleneck for AI products- How a shift in CS conversations (not product changes) grew book-closing adoption 20% in twelve months- What Garrett believes it will take to increase NRR by 30 points in the next couple of years---Timestamps0:00 - Preview & Intro1:52 - Meet Garrett Marker (CRO, Brex) 4:03 - Why founders buy like consumers5:28 - Scaling the third-fastest-growing sales team in tech7:28 - Solving today's AND tomorrow's problems9:25 - 2 months of revenue in 8 days after a segment course correction11:22 - How AI made competitive diagnosis faster14:37 - Rebuilding enablement around AI and ramping reps in days17:27 - How Brex decides build vs. buy18:35 - Mapping the full buyer's journey across sales, CS, and support21:38 - Success plans and buyer psychology25:56 - Why won't you move forward?27:53 - How SDRs earn on-the-spot promotions to AE32:52 - Post-sale priorities: cracking AI product adoption at scale35:11 - Why CS teams must understand the whole tech stack, not just their product (+20% book-closing adoption)---Josh is writing a book on building customer relationships.

Ein faszinierender, aber extrem spezieller Blick hinter die Kulissen: Das Spiel beleuchtet die akribische Arbeit eines Forensikers erstaunlich umfangreich und realistisch, ist spielerisch aber genauso trocken wie wahrscheinlich der echte Job. Dank gelungener Unity-Engine-Optik ist der Titel für eine deutsche Produktion technisch sehr detailliert. Umso sperriger wirken dafür das zähe Tutorial, die statische Fallpräsentation und teils nerviges Pixelhunting, wenn Fotos und Marker erst bei millimetergenauer Mausausrichtung auslösen. Wer ein inszeniertes CSI-Spektakel erwartet, wird enttäuscht: Ohne dichte Rahmenhandlung erfordern die überschaubaren Fälle enorm viel Geduld. Wenn die Entwickler per Patch noch Feinschliff nachliefern, ist das Spiel für extrem passionierte Hobby-Ermittler mit Durchhaltevermögen ein spannender Nischen-Tipp. Alle anderen stoßen sich schnell an der zähen Sucharbeit.

BUFFALO, NY — July 23, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on July 8, 2026, titled “TM4SF1 is a surface marker of senescent pancreatic β-cells.” The study was led by first author Ana Beathriz Leite Lorente from Joslin Diabetes Center and Harvard Medical School, and São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil, and corresponding author Cristina Aguayo-Mazzucato from Joslin Diabetes Center and Harvard Medical School. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and the progressive loss of pancreatic β-cell function. With aging and metabolic stress, senescent β-cells accumulate within the pancreas, producing less insulin while releasing inflammatory signals that contribute to disease progression. Although eliminating these dysfunctional cells has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy, a major challenge has been identifying markers that distinguish senescent β-cells from healthy cells with sufficient precision. This study identifies transmembrane 4 L six family member 1 (TM4SF1) as a highly selective surface marker of senescent β-cells, providing a promising candidate for the future development of more selective therapies for type 2 diabetes. In this study, the researchers searched for cell-surface proteins that specifically identify senescent β-cells. Using RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and analyses of both mouse and human pancreatic tissue, they compared TM4SF1 with the previously established senescence marker urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR/PLAUR). Their findings showed that TM4SF1 is expressed predominantly in senescent β-cells while exhibiting much lower expression in non-senescent β-cells and other tissues, making it a more β-cell-specific surface marker than uPAR.

Something changed after 40. Recovery takes longer, energy dips, and the effort that used to work stopped working. You were told it's just aging. Neurophysiologist Christian Drapeau makes the case that it's something else entirely: the decline of your body's own repair system. In this first episode of The Science of Vitality After 40, a four-part series with Christian Drapeau, host Eric Malzone explores the system almost no one talks about. Christian wrote the first paper proposing that our stem cells function as the body's repair system back in 2001, and here he explains what that system is, why it declines so early (by your early 30s you circulate a fraction of what you had at birth), and why the shift lands hardest on women in their 40s. In this episode: What the repair system is, and why it works like a second immune system Why medicine treats the body's ability to heal as a "black hole" The steep, early decline in circulating stem cells and what drives it Why estrogen loss creates a "double whammy" for women at midlife Why weight-bearing exercise keeps emerging as the one clear lever What your circulating stem cell count may predict about how you age Christian Drapeau is a neurophysiologist, a pioneer of stem cell mobilization, Founder and Chief Science Officer at STEMREGEN, and author of the bestselling Cracking the Stem Cell Code.

What will your life say when you're gone? In Joshua 4, God instructed His people to take stones from the middle of the Jordan River and build a memorial, not to celebrate themselves, but to remember His faithfulness. In this Father's Day message, Set a Marker, we discover that marked men leave markers. Joshua's life teaches us that God's presence marks us, His faithfulness shapes us, and our obedience creates a path for the next generation. Whether you're a father, mentor, leader, or simply someone trying to follow God faithfully, this message will challenge you to stop living only for today and start building bridges for tomorrow. Your story, your faith, and your obedience may become the very testimony someone else needs to trust God.

Host: Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO, Decarb ConnectGuests: Jon Stewart, CEO and Tom Brown, Head of Business Development and Commercial Strategy, Binding SolutionsThe steel industry accounts for roughly 8% of global emissions and has made some of the loudest net zero commitments in heavy industry. But talk to the mills privately and most will tell you they are not on track. The dominant solutions, hydrogen, carbon capture, EAF transition, are either years away, eye-wateringly expensive, or both. Meanwhile, there's a supply chain vulnerability that almost nobody is talking about publicly: pellets. Every major decarb pathway for steel needs them. Producing them at scale costs a billion dollars and most of Europe buys from a handful of suppliers with almost no leverage. Today we're talking to the team at BSL about whether the industry is solving the wrong problems first, and what a lower-cost, modular alternative on something as fundamental as pellets can do for price and targets.Find out why the gap between published net zero roadmaps and what steel mills actually believe is achievable this decade is wider than most people assume. Explore why agglomeration, the pellet-making step, may offer more near-term commercial leverage than hydrogen or CCS, despite attracting a fraction of the policy attention and capital. Learn how a billion-dollar plant cost becomes a structural barrier that shapes who controls the global pellet supply chain, and why European mills are more exposed than they publicly acknowledge. Hear how a technology that works across both blast furnace and DRI pathways makes its case in an industry where most capital decisions are implicitly picking a winner. Find out about Binding Solutions strategic and financial investors as well as their path forward- and where value sits in deep-tech industrial business like this one. Links: ·       Follow Alex Cameron on LinkedIn and find how to get involved with the membership and work of Decarb Connect·       Connect with Jon Stewart, CEO·       Learn more about Tom Brown, Head of Commercial Strategy·       Check out a video about the team ‘s work with British Steel·       Read a paper by one of BSL's scientists and a British Steel expert  ·        Join Alex and a network of hardtech investors and series B+ tech disruptors at Decarb TechInvest in Boston (September 2025) Want to learn more about Decarb Connect?We provide insights and introductions that derisk decision-making and support industrial leaders in deploying decarbonization and low carbon product strategy.

CardioNerds Dr. Joseph Kassab, Dr. Mariana Garcia-Arango, and Dr. Christopher Mason explore the technological revolution of Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) with expert faculty Dr. Michael Gallagher. The discussion details how CCTA has evolved into a frontline diagnostic and preventive tool, moving beyond simple anatomy to incorporate physiology via CT-FFR and biology through AI-driven plaque quantification. The episode reviews landmark evidence like the SCOT-HEART and PROMISE trials, the nuances of CAD-RADS 2.0 reporting, and the emerging role of AI in monitoring treatment response and personalizing cardiovascular care. Critically, they also discuss some of the assumptions and limitations of these techniques. Stay tuned for a matching review article to be submitted to US Cardiology Review, the official Journal of CardioNerds. This episode was supported by an independent medical education grant from HeartFlow.

CardioNerds Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging PageCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll Pearls Shift in Paradigm: CCTA is no longer just an anatomic test; with some key limitations, it can provide anatomy, physiology (CT-FFR), and plaque biology (AI-CPA) in a single non-invasive scan. The “Power of Zero” vs. Plaque: While a normal CCTA has a >95% negative predictive value, future MIs often arise from non-obstructive plaque that traditional stress tests might miss. CAD-RADS 2.0 Utility: The addition of plaque burden modifiers (P1–P4) is a “game changer,” allowing clinicians to identify high-risk patients who need aggressive lipid-lowering despite having only mild stenosis. CT-FFR as a Virtual Stress Test: CT-FFR uses computational fluid dynamics to simulate blood flow, potentially reducing unnecessary invasive catheterizations by approximately 61% without sacrificing safety. Seeing the Invisible: AI-based quantitative plaque analysis (QCPA) can identify “subvisual” plaque and low-attenuation (lipid-rich) components that are the primary drivers of acute coronary syndromes. Show Notes How has the role of CCTA changed compared to traditional functional testing? Historically, stress testing answered “is there ischemia today?”, which often reflects late-stage disease. CCTA identifies disease across the entire spectrum, asking “is there atherosclerosis and how much plaque is present?”. Landmark evidence: SCOT-HEART showed a 41% relative risk reduction in MI at 5 years attributed to intensified preventive therapies, and PROMISE showed CCTA was better at selecting patients who truly needed invasive angiography. Diagnostic CCTA imaging depends on the protocol, contrast timing, heart rate, heart rhythm, breathholding, scanner quality, and several patient factors (obesity, prior stents, heavy calcification, complex bypass anatomy, and motion artifact all may limit imaging). “CCTA is exceptional for the right patient, with the right scanner, and the right team.” What are the key modifiers introduced in CAD-RADS 2.0, and why do they matter? CAD-RADS 2.0 moved beyond stenosis severity to include plaque burden (P0 to P4), high-risk plaque (HRP) features, and the presence of ischemia based on CT-FFR. It serves as a clinical decision support tool: a patient with mild (25-49%) stenosis but “extensive” (P4) plaque burden is considered high risk and warrants aggressive risk factor modification. How is CT-FFR calculated, and when is it most useful in clinical practice? CT-FFR uses resting CCTA data and computational fluid dynamics to create a 3D model of coronary flow during simulated maximal hyperemia. It is often used for intermediate lesions (40–90% stenosis) to predict if they are  ischemia-producing, guiding the decision whether to proceed with invasive angiography.  The assumptions necessary for this computational modeling may not apply well to patients with microvascular dysfunction, significant myocardial scar or prior infarction, or ventricular hypertrophy. Still, data indicate that CT-FFR performs similarly to PET in predicting hemodynamically significant lesions.  CT-FFR performs well at the extremes (either clearly normal or clearly abnormal). Accuracy dips, however, in the intermediate range (~0.75-0.80), where decision-making is most critical. In this grey zone, additional factors can help guide the approach, including the amount of myocardium supplied, translesional gradient, and plaque features.   CT-FFR has not been validated in distal segments, stented segments, heavily calcified coronary arteries, or in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Caution with CT-FFR should be utilized in very calcified coronary segments.  What is AI-based quantitative plaque analysis (QCPA), and what metrics are ready for clinical use? This is potentially a paradigm shift, moving away from stenosis-centric thinking to a more disease burden and plaque biology focus. QCPA uses deep learning algorithms to automatically segment the vessel wall and quantify plaque volume in mm³. Ready for “prime time” metrics include: Total Plaque Volume (TPV), non-calcified plaque volume, and Low-Attenuation Plaque (LAP) burden. Can serial CCTA be used to monitor the effectiveness of medical therapies like statins? While not yet a routine guideline-driven practice, trials like PARADIGM and EVAPORATE show that therapies can stabilize plaque; notably, CCTA is better for monitoring than CAC scores, which can be misleading as statins often increase plaque calcification as part of the stabilization process. There are no randomized trials that serial CCTAs improve outcomes. Cost and radiation exposure will be notable limitations. Serial scan timing, scan acquisition and interpretation standardization would be key. Dr. Gallagher notes that we are moving toward a world in which plaque burden may become a “treatment biomarker,” similar to tumor burden in oncology.  References 1.

Laborexperte Dr. Heiko Hofmann erklärt, wie Fusobakterien und Entzündungswerte ein erhöhtes Darmkrebsrisiko zeigen, lange bevor du etwas spürst   Darmkrebs galt lange als Thema ab 50. Das stimmt so nicht mehr. Immer mehr jüngere Menschen erkranken, und genau deshalb wird die Darmkrebs Vorsorge gerade neu gedacht. In dieser Folge spricht Julia Gruber mit dem Laborexperten Dr. Heiko Hofmann vom Labor biovis über das, was viele übersehen: Darmkrebs entsteht still. Man spürt ihn nicht, bis er weit fortgeschritten ist.

It's Been 10 Years Since Losing Max to Testicular CancerEpisode SummaryIn this special episode, host Joyce Lofstrom is joined by the entire team behind the Max Mallory Foundation: Max's dad, Chuck Mallory (Treasurer), and son, John-Mark Mallory (Executive Director). Together, they reflect on a poignant marker of time: the upcoming 10th anniversary of losing Max to testicular cancer in May 2016. The family discusses the foundation's evolution since its start in 2017, its impactful scholarship partnership with Max's alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and how the "Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer" podcast serves as a cornerstone of outreach. They also dive into critical modern issues surrounding testicular cancer advocacy, including the gaping void in mental health resources for young survivors and how a new generation uses social media and AI to process medical fears. Episode Timeline & Chapters[00:00:00] – IntroductionWelcome to the podcast and introduction of the Max Mallory Foundation board members: Joyce, Chuck, and John-Mark. [00:01:45] – Reflecting on the 10-Year MarkerThe family shares what is on their minds as they approach a decade without Max, the surreal nature of passing time, and how sibling grief and parental healing change over a decade. [00:03:45] – Chuck's Writing & Healing JourneyChuck shares a personal update on emotionally processing his grief and his current efforts to write about his years with Max. [00:07:15] – The Roots of the Max Mallory FoundationThe family formally established the private family foundation in 2017 to carry on Max's legacy. [00:08:45] – Honoring Max Through Media Arts & The MAGD ScholarshipA look at the foundation's scholarship program and funding for the Media Arts and Game Development (MAGD) festival at UW-Whitewater. They discuss the use of game design for educational cancer journeys. [00:11:15] – Milestones of the Podcast & The Mental Health GapCelebrating nearly 80 live episodes and identifying a critical gap in cancer care: why the medical community frequently overlooks the psychological and mental health needs of young cancer survivors. [00:14:50] – The Changing Landscape of Advocacy & Social MediaHow the 20-to-30 age demographic uses Reddit, AI, and social media to express medical anxiety. The family addresses why outreach must pivot from traditional school visits to digital spaces. [00:18:00] – Overcoming the Stigma of Men's HealthA discussion on why young men delay going to the doctor out of fear, a lack of preventative screening advice from pediatricians, and learning from the success of breast cancer awareness campaigns. [00:21:30] – Looking Ahead to the Next 10 YearsFinal thoughts from Joyce, Chuck, and John-Mark on carrying forward Max's mantra: "Never give up."  Key Takeaways from This EpisodeGrief is a Marker, Not a Milestone: Passing a decade without a loved one isn't a traditional milestone to celebrate, but rather a profound marker of time to celebrate a life well-lived. Mental Health is Part of Survivorship: Medical teams excel at testing numbers and treating tumors, but there remains a massive systemic gap in checking on a survivor's mental health post-treatment. Advocacy Must Meet Youth Where They Are: Young men today turn to online forums like Reddit or AI tools rather than their immediate circles when processing potential cancer symptoms. Awareness campaigns must actively occupy these digital spaces. Break the Silence Early: Pediatricians and parents need to explicitly normalize testicular self-exams for young men around ages 12 and 13 to catch anomalies early and strip away the fear-induced stigma of seeking help. Connect & SupportVisit Our Website: Max Mallory Foundation  Listen to Past Episodes: Catch up on our library of 80+ episodes featuring survivors, caregivers, and leading cancer researchers. Make a Donation: Support the MAGD Scholarship and our ongoing testicular cancer awareness initiatives by clicking here. Subscribe: Please subscribe to Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer on your favorite podcast directory so you never miss an episode!  Send us Fan MailSupport the showFind us on Twitter,  Instagram,  Facebook  &  Linkedin.

This week on Dishing It Out, Gary and Gareth welcome home cook and content creator Sarah Butler of Sarah Butler at Home.Sarah shares how growing up in a food-loving house, with a butcher father and a busy family B&B shaped the way she cooks today. From graphic design to wedding stationery, lockdown lemon meringue videos and self-publishing five cookbooks, she talks about building her food career from scratch, doing everything from the recipes to the photography and dispatch.The lads chat with Sarah about the pressure of creating online, why confidence is key for home cooks, the madness of live TV cooking (including nearly poisoning one of Ireland's beloved hosts with raw chicken), and how sometimes simple is better when it comes to home cooking and Sarah's personal taste in food. In this week's Nespresso Dish of the Week, Gareth heads to Mexico as he talks through the new rooftop menu at the Marker, with the recipes for a salsa roja and salsa falsa. Then it's over to your Culinary Conundrums, where the lads help a listener who is 'driven demented' trying to cook salmon without the white protein appearing on top. Keep those questions coming to food@goloudnow.com .

What if your body could warn you before a relapse happens? In this fascinating episode, Dr. Vera Tarman sits down with Bob Messerschmidt — biomedical engineer, inventor, and one of the architects behind the original Apple Watch's health-sensing technology — to explore a surprisingly simple but powerful biomarker: the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Bob is the founder of Core Health and has developed an FDA-registered at-home device that tracks chronic low-grade inflammation over time. For those of us in the food addiction and recovery world, this conversation opens a compelling new door: could inflammation tracking be the missing feedback loop for people working to stay abstinent from ultra-processed foods?

You're still being rewarded for sounding confident.But something has shifted.Because now?Everyone sounds good.AI made sure of that.So what actually signals power now?It's not your delivery.It's not your preparation.It's not even your confidence.It's your ability to think, in real time.The kind of thinking that: Lands a reframe no one saw coming  Cuts through noise without over-explaining  Holds complexity without rushing to resolve it  Makes people stop and go, “Wait… say that again.” That's articulacy.And most leaders are quietly losing it.In this episode, we're breaking down the real shift happening beneath leadership performance, and why the most valuable skill in 2026 is something you can't outsource, automate, or fake.You'll learn: Why confidence is no longer enough to signal authority  What articulacy actually is (and why most people misunderstand it)  How AI is raising the bar while simultaneously eroding your thinking  The neuroscience behind original thought and the “deep reading network”  Why your brain is becoming impatient, and what it's costing you  How cognitive offloading is weakening your leadership edge  What Toni Morrison demonstrates about real-time thinking under pressure  The exact conditions required to build a mind that thinks originally  A practical way to start rebuilding your thinking architecture now Your Next Steps:Watch the free masterclass: https://therewiredwoman.com/playbook/Website: https://therewiredwoman.com/Connect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/rewired.woman/Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rewiredglobal-fernanda/Corporations interested in working with Rewired Global: https://rewiredglobal.com/corporates/

Pastor Matt Garwick 

Research fellow, Adrian Chen, discusses a multicenter study evaluating myocardial PD‑L1 expression as a prognostic biomarker in immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis. The conversation highlights how elevated myocardial PD‑L1 identifies patients at markedly higher risk for early adverse cardiac events and explores its potential role in improving risk stratification and guiding earlier, more aggressive therapy in this high‑risk population.

Description:This week, Jen and Amy sit down with double board-certified OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Natalie Crawford, author of The Fertility Formula, for a wide-ranging conversation about hormones, inflammation, stress, and the powerful (and often misunderstood) signals our bodies are constantly sending. While Dr. Crawford's work is rooted in fertility, this episode zooms out to something much bigger: how hormone health reflects our overall well-being — and why midlife is often the moment when the body stops whispering and starts speaking clearly. But this conversation isn't just for women trying to get pregnant. It's for women in perimenopause and menopause wondering what their bodies are doing now — and why. Because fertility is more than reproduction; it's a health marker. The same patterns that shape our fertility years — inflammation, hormone signaling, metabolic health, stress — also influence how we experience menopause, what symptoms show up, and what kinds of support our bodies will need. And it's also for women stepping into the grandparent years — who want to better understand what their daughters, daughters-in-law, and younger women in their lives are navigating. Because the more we understand our own bodies, the more compassion and clarity we bring to the next generation. Together, they unpack: Why your menstrual cycle (even in its changes) is one of your most important health indicators Natalie's experience with pregnancy loss and how it shaped her approach to women's health The effects of societal and political shifts on women's reproductive choices How cycle awareness can support both fertility outcomes and menopause transitions Whether or not you are thinking about fertility — or are long past that season — this conversation reframes it as something more expansive: a reflection of vitality, resilience, and how supported your body truly feels across every stage of life. Thought-provoking Quotes: “We're living in a different era now, luckily, where women are demanding more knowledge about their bodies.” – Dr. Natalie Crawford “I think that my own experience reframed how I educate my patients and the public in taking charge and learning how to listen to your body and believe it. What are those little red flags—whether it's my cycle, whether it's symptoms, whether it's fatigue, and how do I get answers or try to modify those so that I can have more control over what is happening to me?” – Dr. Natalie Crawford “Anybody who's trying to sell you a quick fix, especially if it comes in a bottle, is most likely not in your best interest. That doesn't mean there aren't medications or supplements that can help, but that comes after you've done what you can do.” – Dr. Natalie Crawford Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Fertility Formula: Take Control of Your Reproductive Future by Dr. Natalie Crawford – https://amzn.to/47HZ1NR The New Perimenopause: What's Actually Happening to Your Body with Dr. Mary Claire Haver - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/the-new-perimenopause-whats-actually-happening-to-your-body-with-dr-mary-claire-haver/ Fora Fertility Clinic– https://www.forafertility.com/ Guest's Links: Website - https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nataliecrawfordmd/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/nataliecrawfordmd/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/NatalieCrawfordMD/videos TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nataliecrawfordmd Substack - https://substack.com/@nataliecrawfordmd Podcast - https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/podcast Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

Laurie Marker has spent nearly half a century with cheetahs. Her career began when she moved to Oregon in the early 1970s to open the third winery in the state. She began working at Wildlife Safari in Winston, OR to help support her business. This move would start a decades long career working with cheetahs. She eventually found the Cheetah Conservation Fund and moved to Namibia to create a dedicated wildlife reserve and research center for these large felines. Today, cheetahs are considered to have a vulnerable status, with less than 7,000 in the wild. Marker joins us to share more on her life and work with the fastest mammal on the planet that is racing to extinction.

This episode describes why your time in the 400-meter run could be the single best indicator of your longevity potential and your overall fitness competency. The 400 is known in track & field as the “race of truth” because it sequentially exhausts the various high-intensity systems of the body—testing all of your attributes: speed, strength, power, metabolic fitness, and your ability to hold it together when your body is under maximum stress. No hiding, no faking it. While your aerobic competency is also a great longevity indicator—things like your mile run time (per Cooper Institute and UT Southwestern Medical School research) and your daily step count are great ways to track longevity potential, the 400 reveals your competency with the anaerobic energy systems and muscle fibers that are often ignored—even by devoted fitness enthusiasts. In this show, I break down the fascinating physiology behind this brutal event—how it uniquely blends anaerobic power with aerobic support—and why it reveals far more about real-world fitness than jogging miles or grinding through long workouts. Here’s the problem: modern fitness culture is heavily biased toward endurance—steady-state cardio, group classes, even so-called broad based or hybrid fitness formats like CrossFit and Hyrox that, in the big picture, are still dominated by the aerobic energy systems. Meanwhile, the qualities that decline fastest with age—and matter most for longevity—are strength, power, explosiveness, and the ability to produce force quickly. Those are the attributes that protect you from the number one cause of injury and death after age 65: falling. And they’re exactly what the 400-meter run demands. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why the 400 might be the ultimate longevity benchmark, why most fitness programming has it backwards, and how to start tracking your own performance—whether it’s a full lap or a scaled effort—to keep score as you age. Time to hit the track, fire up the stopwatch, and find out where you really stand! TIMESTAMPS: The 400 meters is called the race of truth because it exposes everything about your fitness. [01:13] When we overemphasize endurance with our fitness pursuits, it comes at the expense of the qualities that are probably the most critical for aging gracefully. [01:42] Much of the fitness information out there is not based on real science or exercise physiology. [03:32] People who are fast, explosive and powerful, and have good competency in the 400 meters have, by necessity, tremendous aerobic endurance. [05:49] Walking forms the foundation of tremendous aerobic endurance for all other fitness attributes that you pursue. [07:22] What Masters Track and Field has observed across many events is a round a 6 percent decline per decade in the peak performance standard. [09:54] You can factor in a 6% decline per decade to compare yourself to the other challengers in your event. The records, the milestones need to be adjusted for age. [11:00] What is the single best exercise to promote longevity? The answer is....the thing that you enjoy doing the most. [15:19] Doing what you love to do is the number one best longevity exercise, but we need to integrate challenges that include functional muscle strength, cardiovascular enduraance, and mobility flexibility. [18:47] You have to load the skeleton with resistance exercise on a regular basis to prevent sarcopenia and dynapenia. [24:12] The 400 meter competency might be more valuable and more illustrative of your fitness and longevity potential, than simply your ability to throw around heavy weight. [27:33] Your body is not capable of delivering pure maximum effort for longer than seven seconds. [31:46] The 400 meters is only one lap around the track and in most cases, for fit people, it is about 66% contribution of the anaerobic system and 33% of the aerobic system. [35:56] If you are training for a race that lasts for one hour, you are depending on fat as your fuel source. Depending on your sport, your body composition needs differ. [37:07] One's time in the mile run at age 50 is strongly predictive of the potential to live to age 80 in good health. [39:56] It is extremely important that you learn to rest during your workouts. Even if you are at the low fitness level, hit it hard for 10 seconds and rest for one minute. [44:06] Why is anaerobic exercise so important for everyone? [51:27] The true sprint from exercise physiology is only up to seven seconds. [55:44] Preserving your anaerobic function, muscle power, and explosiveness is what's going to keep you safe from what the Centers for Disease Control calls the number one cause of demise and death in seniors over age 65, and that is falling and adverse related health consequences. [58:28] A 400 meter runner has a balanced metabolic engine of high glycolytic capacity, strong acid buffering capacity, and a meaningful anaerobic contribution. [01:04:16] Go out there and try the 400. Once a week for a sprint type workout is fine. [16:00] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com - 20% OFF Your First Order!

On today's podcast, we share a prophetic dream we had with the date, April 6th, in it.  Listen in to hear the entire dream and the interpretation.  This is a now word we must pay attention to.  

This is part 3 of a conversation with Chirag Patel. Chirag is based in London where consults on the ethical and science-based practice of behavior management and training for animals housed in domestic, zoo, and laboratory environments. Chirag earned his BSc (Hons) in Veterinary Sciences from the Royal Veterinary College in London and a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Animal Behavior from the University of Lincoln, UK. He is also a certified parrot behavior consultant (CPBC) with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC). Currently, Chirag is studying for a MSc in Applied Behavior Analysis. In Part 1 talked about the up-coming March 2026 Clicker Expo. For several years now Chirag and several other faculty members have done a presentation that they call The Backstage Pass. Basically each trainer picks a dog/handler team from the audience and works with that team on stage towards a stated goal behavior. Each team works with the trainer for a few minutes at a time, then there's a discussion of the why's and wherefores of the methods used. It's an interesting presentation. You get to see different styles of training as each trainer gets to know the dog and the handler they are working with. This year they decided to do something a little different. Instead of inviting dog specialists to participate as the trainers, they decided to ask faculty members who don't typically work with dogs. When they asked me, for some very bizarre reason, I said yes. Chirag will be the ring master for the backstage pass. When I've watched him in previous years I've seen that he is a very creative trainer who comes up with some inventive solutions for helping dogs and handlers to be at ease. His training style is very different from mine which for me is of interest to me. We ended Part 1 with a question about marker signals. Often in those backstage pass demos Chirag trains with food, but he doesn't yet use a marker signal. He described his thinking behind this strategy. In Part 2 we began with my reasons for the choices I make related to the use of marker signals. The click in clicker training has been referred to in many ways. It is a bridge, a marker signal, a snap shot. It is very much a cue. I add yet another metaphor for the role the click plays. It is a gatekeeper. I explained what I mean by that in Part 2. In Part 3 we add the use of chains and the role that cues play in linking behaviors together to the discussion of marker signals.

The Athletic's Sam Amick joins Silver & JD to elaborate on his latest article explaining his mixed emotions to Bam Adebayo chasing down Kobe Bryant's 81-point marker on Tuesday night, and where the Warriors go from here as Stephen Curry continues to be sidelined with a knee injury. With Dre Greenlaw's return to the 49ers breaking mid-interview, Amick is asked to share who he'd pick as the Dre Greenlaw of NBA media.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today, I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our Research Recap series. In this series, we look at a single research paper, dive into what it says and how it was conducted, and try to find practical takeaways. In this episode, we're going to be discussing a paper called "Evaluation of Maternal Inflammation as a Marker of Future Offspring ADHD Symptoms: A Prospective Investigation." This study investigates the biological origins of ADHD—specifically, whether a mother's immune system during pregnancy might be able to predict ADHD symptoms in her children once they are born.
