On November 12, unionized nurses at Ascension St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore held a rally in front of the Marriott Hotel downtown, where the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) was holding a meeting. St. Agnes nurses rallied with supporters from around the city, and they were even joined by fellow Ascension nurses who traveled from Wichita, Kansas, and Austin, Texas.   According to a press release from National Nurses Organizing Committee / National Nurses United (NNOC-NNU), the purpose of the rally was to “highlight how Ascension has failed to follow USCCB directives to Catholic health care organizations to both serve and advocate for patients ‘at the margins of society' and ‘treat its employees respectfully and justly.'... Baltimore nurses have been in negotiations since Feb. 2024, following a successful union election in November 2023. Ascension has failed to bargain in good faith with Saint Agnes nurses on language that would improve safe staffing and protect patients from cuts to services, lawsuits for billing disputes, and surprise billing or excess charges.” In this on-the-ground episode, you'll hear speeches and chants from the Nov. 12 rally, and we speak with Gideon Eziama, a registered nurse with over 20 years of experience who has worked at Ascension St. Agnes for the last six years, and Lisa Watson, a registered nurse at Ascension Via Christi St. Francis Hospital in Wichita, who traveled to Baltimore to stand in solidarity with her coworkers at Ascension St. Agnes.

"We all have expectations, and when you raise your expectations, everything gets better." Key Moments  01:27 Active, visible management drives operational excellence. 04:30 Clearly communicate expectations and lead by example. 07:17  Value of hospitality and leadership. 10:29 The Importance of High Standards in Team Morale: 13:57 Spread magic by creating meaningful experiences for others. Resources The Cockerell Academy About Lee Cockerell Mainstreet Leader Magical Vacation Planners  407-442-2694   Paying attention to the smallest details can transform any organization into a world-class operation. During my days at Walt Disney World and Marriott Hotels people quickly learned that I am a detail oriented leader. That is because everything matters if you want to be world class. On a recent trip, Jody Maberry noticed 8 light bulbs out in a high-end hotel and trash in the urinals at another venue. The devil's in the details, folks, and that is why they matter. The presence of a leader on the ground can make a monumental difference. When I ran a hotel, I did daily walkthroughs, starting at 6:30 AM. It's a routine that ensures no detail, however small, gets overlooked. It's these small fixes that build a world-class reputation. The real magic happens when you involve your team. As I made my rounds, employees started pointing out issues before I even saw them. Lead by example, and your team will follow. If you set the expectation for excellence, trust me, everyone steps up their game. Employees appreciate a well-kept environment and customers feel the difference. It's a win-win! It doesn't happen if you just walk your establishment once. Repetition makes familiarity, and you'll start noticing details you missed before. As I always say, “Everything matters if you want to be world-class!”  Make sure to listen to this full episode to hear more about how these principles can bring about tangible improvements and customer satisfaction in any setting.

In today's episode host Pete Moore talks with Mauro Frota, the innovative mind behind BHOUT-a company that's revolutionizing the exer-gaming industry by merging gaming and boxing into an immersive, competitive experience. Mauro takes us through the unique premise of his company, which offers a trifecta of modes: learning, playing for clubs, and pure competition.  Mauro is an innovative entrepreneur,and product designer specializing in cutting-edge materials and durable hardware. Dedicated to pushing the limits of product design, Frota has been experimenting with bio-materials such as cactus leaves for exterior components and vegan leather for the outside of the bag. His commitment to durability and performance has led to the development of 5 to 10 different product prototypes, and his ultimate goal is to create hardware that meets the extreme standards of high-performance athletes, including MMA fighter Francis Ngannou, known for his record-breaking strike power.  His ambitious expansion plans include 20 new units across Portugal, Spain, Brazil, and the US. He also shares insights into their cutting-edge AI technology, impressive collaborations with top-tier institutions and their journey toward making BHOUT kickboxing studios a global phenomenon.  Regarding what BHOUT can do, Frota states, ". . . It's very unique. Everything that is tangible in a real fight, we can measure it. We can measure the number of strikes, the accuracy, exertion, and power. We can even measure technique and compare it with a pre-trained biomechanical model. All this is is transformed into points . . . which plays into the gaming aspect." Key themes discussed Benefits of working for Precor and entrepreneurial mindset. Steve Jobs on product design and collaboration. Started in B2B, product tested extensively. Opposite of Peloton or Tonal. Few equipment brands have retail and studios. Universe bringing industry together through technology and competition. Revenue generated in Europe comparable to SOLIDCORE model in USA. A few key takeaways:  1. Mauro's company has ingeniously blended the gaming industry with physical exercise through their innovative product. Their exer-game platform transforms workouts into engaging, competitive experiences. 2. Mauro shared his inspiring journey of translating a dream about a kickboxing space into a thriving business. His background in martial arts fueled his passion for making combat sports accessible to the masses through advanced technology. 3. The company has ambitious expansion strategies, with plans to open 20 new units across Portugal, Spain, Brazil, and the US. They aim to scale both franchise and corporate-owned locations, potentially including a presence in New York City. 4. The AI technology developed by Mauro's team is a core strength of the company, attracting high-profile clients like LinkedIn and Marriott Hotels. Collaborations with the University of Lisbon indicate a promising future for extending their product's reach. 5. Mauro detailed the development of a new product line featuring four prototypes constructed from bio-materials like cactus leaves and environmentally friendly water bladders, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability. The product has proven very successful in business-to-business settings and is already a top performer in a Portuguese club, showcasing its profitability and strong market reception.

“ I think it's about getting clear on what your method of problem solving is. And if somebody doesn't have that, if they're not exactly sure why or how they did something, that's an easy no for you.
