This will be a conversation about how, in the military, individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together under a shared purpose to contribute to something bigger than themselves and serve their nation. The contributions of immigrants who serve and swear allegiance to the nation are recognized and appreciated. So for a little background, non-U.S. citizens may be eligible to apply for naturalization, which is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a lawful permanent resident after meeting the requirements established by Congress, as defined by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. For many, joining the U.S. military offers a fast track to becoming a U.S. citizen. In this episode, Technical Sgt. Timothy Thorpe, a Massachusetts Air National Guard recruiter, and his recruit, Airman Daniel Olubodun will join us to talk about their experience. Airman Olubodun is native to Nigeria, was granted U.S. citizenship during Basic Military Training. For more information about U.S. Citizenship through military service, reach out to a local Air National Guard recruiter or Military One Source has some incredible resources for you to check out.

This Day in Legal History: Constitutional Convention AssemblesOn May 14, 1787, a pivotal moment unfolded in American history as delegates from each state began to gather in Philadelphia for what would be known as the Constitutional Convention. This assembly was critical in shaping the nation's future, aimed at addressing the deficiencies of the Articles of Confederation—the loose framework that initially bound the states together after independence.As the delegates arrived, the stakes were incredibly high. The existing government structure under the Articles was proving inadequate in managing various critical issues, such as interstate disputes and financial instability. The Philadelphia meeting was convened to create a more robust federal government while ensuring that individual liberties were not infringed upon.Notably, every state except Rhode Island sent representatives to the Convention. Among the attendees were some of the most distinguished figures of the era, including George Washington, who was unanimously elected as the president of the convention, and James Madison, now considered the "Father of the Constitution" due to his pivotal role in drafting the document.The convention sessions were held in strict secrecy, a decision made to foster open debate and prevent external influences. The result of the intense deliberations, which continued until September 17, was the creation of a new Constitution. This document established a stronger federal government with separate executive, legislative, and judicial branches, fundamentally changing the direction of the United States.The ratification process that followed was another intense debate, reflective of the diverse viewpoints within the states about the balance of power between state and federal authorities. The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, played a crucial role in persuading the public and state legislatures to adopt the new Constitution.Today, the Constitution remains a living document, central to American law and governance, illustrating the enduring legacy of the decisions made during those historic months in Philadelphia. The events of May 14, 1787, mark not just the beginning of the Constitutional Convention but also the starting point of a constitutional democracy that would influence governance structures worldwide.Perkins Coie, a Seattle-founded law firm, is expanding its global footprint by launching a new office in London. The London office will be led by Ian Bagshaw, former co-head of White & Case's global private equity practice, who joined Perkins Coie after leaving Big Law to chair a startup. Joining him are three other former White & Case lawyers, including Jan Andrusko, who will serve as the European head of M&A for Perkins Coie.The London office aims to tap into the local and European markets for venture capital, private equity, and startups, leveraging the firm's established tech-sector expertise in the U.S. Perkins Coie plans to offer a comprehensive range of services through this single European hub, focusing on privacy, technology transactions, and M&A, without pursuing a network of offices across Europe.This strategic move marks Perkins Coie's first establishment outside of the U.S. and Asia. In 2021, the firm ranked 43rd largest in the U.S. by revenue, with earnings of $1.2 billion. The London office will initially feature a corporate group but may expand to include intellectual property and litigation services to provide a more rounded offering to tech-focused corporate clients.Ian Bagshaw, along with partners Jan Stejskal, Craig Fagan, and Barry O'Driscoll, and senior counsel Jan Jakoubek, are part of the founding team. They bring significant experience in private equity, cross-border M&A, and corporate law, aiming to recreate the startup culture prevalent in the U.S. within the European context. Bagshaw highlighted the startup-like environment of the new office and his motivation to build a new business with a clear strategic direction as key factors in his move to Perkins Coie.The focus on privacy and technology transactions in the new office is significant. These areas are crucial in the tech sector, involving the handling of sensitive data and the execution of tech-related deals, which are key growth areas in European legal markets. This strategic choice underlines Perkins Coie's intent to leverage their U.S. strengths in a new market, reflecting broader trends in global law practice where specialization aligns with industry needs.Perkins Coie Launches London Office, Eyeing Start-Up Tech MarketJury selection for U.S. Senator Robert Menendez's corruption trial resumed on May 14, 2024, in Manhattan federal court, with charges stemming from an alleged bribery scheme involving foreign governments. Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, has denied wrongdoing, pleading not guilty to 16 charges, including bribery, fraud, acting as a foreign agent, and obstruction. The trial also involves two New Jersey businessmen, Wael Hana and Fred Daibes, and Menendez's wife, Nadine, who will be tried separately due to medical reasons.The accusations detail that Senator Menendez accepted substantial bribes, including cash, gold bars, and a luxury car, in return for political favors to the governments of Egypt and Qatar. The FBI discovered much of the cash hidden at the Menendezes' home. Menendez allegedly facilitated arms deals for Egypt and attempted to secure a monopoly for Hana on halal meat certifications to Egypt. He is also charged with attempting to influence a Qatari investment fund on behalf of Daibes and interfering in a criminal case against him.Despite the severity of these charges, Menendez has not resigned but has stepped down from his role as the leader of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. His previous legal troubles in 2017, involving a wealthy Florida ophthalmologist, ended in a mistrial. As the current trial unfolds, Menendez faces significant public disapproval in New Jersey, complicating any potential reelection efforts. His wife's trial is scheduled for July 8, where health concerns will play a central role, and Menendez might shift blame to her as part of his defense strategy.Jury selection to resume in US Senator Menendez's corruption trial | ReutersThe Delaware Supreme Court is set to hear an appeal concerning a substantial attorney fee award in a lawsuit involving Dell Technologies Inc. and a $1 billion stockholder settlement over a stock conversion, which was allegedly coerced by Michael Dell and Silver Lake LLC in 2018. This case, which is notable for its rare nine-figure fee award, reflects a broader discussion in Delaware about how much plaintiffs' attorneys should be compensated in significant legal settlements.In this particular case, attorneys who facilitated the historic settlement were awarded $267 million, which represents the second-highest fee ever awarded in the state's Chancery Court history. This award is currently being challenged by Pentwater Capital Management LP, which argues that the 27% fee is excessively generous and constitutes a windfall.The appeal comes at a time when Delaware's courts are also considering other large fee requests, including two involving Tesla Inc., where one case seeks a $230 million fee for a settlement concerning board compensation, and another involves an investor challenging CEO Elon Musk's pay package.The Delaware courts have historically used a multi-factor test to determine the fairness of legal fees, which considers the complexity of the case, the attorneys' skill and experience, and the risk of contingency. The debate over these fees has even drawn input from law professors, with some advocating for a declining-percentage method used in federal courts, which reduces the percentage fee as the settlement amount increases.This ongoing legal debate highlights the evolving challenges and considerations in determining reasonable compensation for legal services in major corporate litigation, especially in a state known for its significant corporate law cases.Dell Fee Request at Delaware High Court Could Impact Tesla SuitsThe legal battle involving 21 young plaintiffs in a significant U.S. climate lawsuit has reached a precarious point following a recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The court granted a February request from the Justice Department to dismiss the case, known as Juliana v. US, directing Judge Ann Aiken of the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon to terminate it. This lawsuit, aiming for government accountability on climate action, has seen setbacks before, including a 2020 dismissal where the plaintiffs' demands for more aggressive government intervention against global warming were deemed beyond judicial capability to grant.The plaintiffs, represented by Our Children's Trust, are now considering limited options, such as requesting a full panel rehearing at the Ninth Circuit or potentially escalating the matter to the U.S. Supreme Court. However, legal experts, including Michael Gerrard of Columbia University's Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, caution against the latter due to the Supreme Court's current composition, which may not be favorable towards climate-related cases.The recent ruling underscores judicial hesitancy to engage in what is seen as policy-making—a realm typically reserved for the legislative branch. Despite this, the plaintiffs' lawyer, Julia Olson, argues that a court declaration recognizing the unconstitutional nature of current government practices could be transformative, similar to past court interventions that advanced justice and equality. Yet, the feasibility of such outcomes appears increasingly doubtful under prevailing legal standards and judicial perspectives.With these challenges, some suggest that initiating a new lawsuit with updated claims might offer a more straightforward route, given the ongoing and emerging government failures in addressing climate change since the initial 2015 filing. This strategy could potentially bypass previous legal obstacles, presenting fresh grounds for legal arguments based on more recent developments in climate policy and its failures.Youth Climate Lawsuit Faces Dire Path After Ninth Circuit RulingJack Teixeira, a 22-year-old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, is facing further legal challenges after already pleading guilty to serious national security breaches involving the leak of classified documents. Teixeira, who had been arrested in April 2023, admitted to charges related to leaking sensitive information on military operations, including details about the war in Ukraine, under a deal with the U.S. Department of Justice that proposed a minimum of 11 years in prison. Despite this civilian court case, the Air Force has opted to pursue additional military charges against him, which could lead to another 10 and a half years in prison if he is convicted.These military charges include obstructing justice and failing to obey a lawful order, with a hearing set to take place at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts to assess whether the evidence is substantial enough to proceed to a court-martial. Teixeira, who worked as a cyber defense operations journeyman with top-secret security clearance, reportedly shared classified information on various international issues through a messaging app, impacting U.S. and global security interests. His sentencing for the civilian charges is scheduled for September 27.Pentagon leaker Jack Teixeira faces US military justice hearing | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

The Ukrainians are running out of munitions and the war is predicted to endure past 2023; China is debuting new missiles that have the ability to penetrate US defenses; Egypt Is toying with supporting Russia in attacking Ukraine; ISIS is evolving. These are just a handful of the revelations from the viral Discord leaks, a set of US intelligence documents leaked on the gaming platform Discord and other sites by 21-year-old Jack Teixeira of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Ways to interpret the fallout are manifold, but lessons learned all point back to US responsibility: that Ukraine will face empty bins is a self-fulfilling prophecy that the US can remedy through a revitalization of its defense industrial base. That Taiwan is at enhanced risk of invasion by China every day is only tempered by US willingness to build up Taiwan's defense and develop a strategic counter-aggression framework. Content aside, that a 21-year-old kid was able to photograph and share US top secret information, and continue sharing it for 8 months – well, it is not a leap to underscore the importance of tightening US intelligence security measures to prevent this from ever happening again.

Last week, federal officials arrested Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old airman in the Massachusetts Air National Guard, accusing him of having leaked hundreds of pages of classified Pentagon documents on a Discord server. The documents offer rare insights into the war in Ukraine and the extent of military casualties and reveal the presence of U.S. and other NATO nations' special forces clandestinely operating in the war zone. They also document how the conflict is spilling over into the Middle East and shed light on U.S. penetration of Russian military plans and U.S. spy efforts, including against American allies and the United Nations secretary general. This week on Intercepted, Jeremy Scahill, Murtaza Hussain, and national security editor Vanessa Gezari discuss the document leak and analyze what we know and don't know about the young airman accused of distributing the documents, initially to a small group of gamers and gun enthusiasts in a private internet chatroom. They also discuss the media's role in identifying the suspect using open source clues left by Texeira and his friends in the months leading up to his arrest as well as what the accused 21 year old might face in an Espionage Act trial.If you'd like to support our work, go to theintercept.com/join — your donation, no matter what the amount, makes a real difference.And if you haven't already, please subscribe to the show so you can hear it every week.

Saga of the alleged 21-year-old leaker embroils Massachusetts Air National Guard unit

Many Americans were shocked after learning that classified Pentagon documents were leaked on Discord, an online platform used primarily for video game users to connect. Furthermore, when the leaker was revealed to be 21-year-old Jack Teixeira, an Airman First Class in the Massachusetts Air National Guard, the American public had even more questions. How did a young, low-ranking soldier have access to classified government information, and why did he expose U.S. intelligence information to potential adversaries when he is actively defending the country? On the Rundown, House Oversight & Accountability Committee Chairman, Congressman James Comer (R-KY), explains why he believes this leak may have taken place and how the occurrence reflects a "huge cyber security crisis" happening within the Pentagon. Later, he discusses what he hopes to learn from the House Oversight Committee's upcoming hearing on President Biden's 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan and what other investigations the committee plans to prioritize in the coming months. People may know Thomas Edison as the great inventor who perfected the incandescent light bulb and created revolutionary machines like the phonograph and the movie camera. However, there is another story to be told: the origins of Thomas Alva Edison as a boy before he would become an esteemed scientist and inventor. FOX News Contributor Raymond Arroyo joins the Rundown to discuss how he tells that story in his new book, The Unexpected Light of Thomas Alva Edison.

The one where we discuss the Bob Lee murder in San Francisco, Harlan Crow's shady real estate deals, Trump's humiliation of Tucker Carlson, and the "TradCath" intel leak suspect Jack Teixeira.Find this episode on your favorite podcast player here:https://pod.link/1647010767Here are some of the sources and articles we used to create this episode:SF officials slam Elon Musk, others, for spreading rampant crime narrative“District Attorney Brooke Jenkins blasted “reckless and irresponsible statements” that made incorrect assumptions about the Cash App co-founder Lee's killing, which she said “serve to mislead the world in their perceptions of San Francisco and also negatively impact the pursuit of justice.”Fare thee well, Christopher Rufo; We hardly got to know you”“In Rufo-speak, “clean[ing] up our streets and parks” translates to increased sweeps that brutalize our unhoused neighbors, which is the kind of “law and order” rhetoric used by the likes of Nixon and Reagan to militarize America's police force since the 1970s. Of those actually attempting to materially help our unhoused neighbors, Rufo says “nothing is more important than their own display of compassion,” and has peppered his writings and speeches with criticisms of Seattle's “activist class.” Rufo derides what he views as “virtue signalling,” a right-wing talking point peddled by Breitbart to garner sympathy for the police and further foster hatred toward Seattle's homeless community. He says he wants to “break up the homeless industrial complex,” another right-wing talking point that translates to defunding nonprofits currently offering services. Rufo's campaign tag, “compassion with results,” left open the option of  “reinstitutionalizating” the dangerously mentally ill, an argument for a return to the days of callous sanitariums.”Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire“These trips appeared nowhere on Thomas' financial disclosures. His failure to report the flights appears to violate a law passed after Watergate that requires justices, judges, members of Congress and federal officials to disclose most gifts, two ethics law experts said. He also should have disclosed his trips on the yacht, these experts said.Thomas did not respond to a detailed list of questions.”Billionaire Harlan Crow Bought Property From Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn't Disclose the Deal.“A federal disclosure law passed after Watergate requires justices and other officials to disclose the details of most real estate sales over $1,000. Thomas never disclosed his sale of the Savannah properties. That appears to be a violation of the law, four ethics law experts told ProPublica.The disclosure form Thomas filed for that year also had a space to report the identity of the buyer in any private transaction, such as a real estate deal. That space is blank.“He needed to report his interest in the sale,” said Virginia Canter, a former government ethics lawyer now at the watchdog group CREW. “Given the role Crow has played in subsidizing the lifestyle of Thomas and his wife, you have to wonder if this was an effort to put cash in their pockets.”Thomas did not respond to detailed questions for this story.”Suspect charged in case involving leaked classified military documents“pA friend of Teixeira described his motives to The Washington Post as wanting to share — and show off — the secrets he knew to a small circle of online friends who bonded over video games.Teixeira served in a junior position, but he had access to an internal Defense Department computer network for top-secret information, called the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. That access would have allowed him to read and potentially print documents classified at the same level as many of the leaked files.Teixeira told members of the group Thug Shaker Central on the Discord instant-messaging platform that he worked as a technology support staffer for the Massachusetts Air National Guard and at a base on Cape Cod, and this was how he was able to access classified documents, one member of the Discord server told The Post. Members of the group came together initially because of their shared interest in guns and military gear, the member said.”Press Pushes ‘Mass of Contradictions' Storyline about Far-Right Radical Teixeira“Here's a new article from the Post on Jack Teixeira which contains a series of assumptions I can only call disturbing. The headline reads, “He's from a patriotic family — and allegedly leaked U.S. secrets.” In the vein of that headline, the article presents Teixeira as a bundle of contradictions. He didn't want to hurt America. He was a patriotic guy from a patriotic, military family, etc.And yet the guy described in numerous interviews with young men or boys from his server community is a textbook far-right radical, the type who often commits acts of violence, though as yet we have no evidence of that from Teixeira. He was very into guns; he was viciously racist and antisemitic; he worshipped at the cult of Ruby Ridge and Waco and anti-government activism.”This is our current events recap program, where we offer our takes on what's going on at the bleeding edge of the information war.

On this episode, Peyton and Mike discuss the details surrounding the national intelligence leak carried out by Airman Jack Teixeira of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, who was arrested by the FBI following a New York Times digital investigation that led to the airman's capture.

Many Americans were shocked after learning that classified Pentagon documents were leaked on Discord, an online platform used primarily for video game users to connect. Furthermore, when the leaker was revealed to be 21-year-old Jack Teixeira, an Airman First Class in the Massachusetts Air National Guard, the American public had even more questions. How did a young, low-ranking soldier have access to classified government information, and why did he expose U.S. intelligence information to potential adversaries when he is actively defending the country? On the Rundown, House Oversight & Accountability Committee Chairman, Congressman James Comer (R-KY), explains why he believes this leak may have taken place and how the occurrence reflects a "huge cyber security crisis" happening within the Pentagon. Later, he discusses what he hopes to learn from the House Oversight Committee's upcoming hearing on President Biden's 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan and what other investigations the committee plans to prioritize in the coming months. People may know Thomas Edison as the great inventor who perfected the incandescent light bulb and created revolutionary machines like the phonograph and the movie camera. However, there is another story to be told: the origins of Thomas Alva Edison as a boy before he would become an esteemed scientist and inventor. FOX News Contributor Raymond Arroyo joins the Rundown to discuss how he tells that story in his new book, The Unexpected Light of Thomas Alva Edison. He explains how Edison's mother encouraged his learning and curiosity, what inspired him to first start inventing, and his philosophy of viewing failure as an important part of the invention process.

ABC News Senior Pentagon Reporter Luis Martinez has the latest on Jack Teixeira, the 21-year-old junior enlisted airman with the Massachusetts Air National Guard, who has been charged as being behind the leak of classified U.S. military and U.S. intelligence documents.

The crowd at the NRA convention has spoken -- and MAGA sentiment prevails. A newly released Poll shows former President Donald Trump firmly in the lead for the Republican nomination. Find out the details - including who's second...and, who's last in this new poll. The results may surprise you. I'll explain. Meanwhile, Anheuser Busch is still reeling from is massive marketing mistake. Sales are plunging, the stock price plunged in the span of five days (costing the company some $5+ billion in market cap) and, it's suggested that the customer base for Bud Light may never return. So, finally, the CEO has something to say. In the statement, the CEO tried to play up the company's American roots. To be clear, and as I explain, Anheuser-Busch was sold years ago to a Brazilian and Belgian beer company. It's no longer 'American' - it's global. And its recent faux pas reflects that.  21-year-old Jack Teixiera has been arrested in Massachusetts amid allegations of being the one to leak the classified Pentagon documents posted on the social media platform Discord. According to the charging documents, the airman with the Massachusetts Air National Guard allegedly began posting secret information online around December of 2022. The documents included a wide range of classified information about eavesdropping on allies as well as foes. It also suggests the U.S. is doing far better than Russia in the Ukraine war. I have a lot of questions about this whole story -- including not just why such a low level, young person is afforded such critical access to sensitive materials, as well as whether this particular leak might have even benefited the Biden administration in some way? You also need to ask whether Team Biden is capable of properly vetting government employees amid its Sam Brinton scandal. The transgender who worked in BIDEN's Energy Department just received a reduced sentence for stealing a suitcase of women's clothing at a Las Vegas airport. Speaking of not being able to properly vet government employees, the Biden administration's top LGBTQ+ employee, transgender Sam Brinton, was just sentenced for stealing a woman's luggage at the Las Vegas airport. This person was working in the Nuclear Waste department as an undersecretary for the Department of Energy for Biden's Administration! And, as Fox News heads to court amid a $1.6 billion lawsuit from voting machine company Dominion, I'm joined by special guest Steve Krakauer, author of the new book 'Uncovered: How the Media Got Cozy with Power, Abandoned its Principles, and Lost the People' for reaction. Steve covered the media industry as a journalist at CNN and now works as the Executive Producer of Megan Kelly's podcast. Hear our in-depth discussion about the deterioration of media as well as the role of cancel culture and big money in the industry today. On social media? Elon Musk has a tough task ahead of him as he tries to ensure our first amendment rights at Twitter while simultaneously promoting truth. Steve and I agree -- colonizing Mars may be easier! Plus, find out what this means for our political future given that the elites are now trying to suggest anything conservative is not just "stupid" (as they had in the past) but, actually, "dangerous". It's a leap they've taken since January 6th and will come with major implications.  Don't forget to subscribe to the show on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-trish-regan-show Sign up for my free email here https://TrishReganShow.com   More Ways to Follow: Subscribe to my YouTube channel for the video version of this podcast: https://Youtube.com/TrishReganChannel Subscribe to me on Rumble: https://Rumble.com/TrishReganShow And, don't forget to follow me on: Instagram: https://Instagram.com/Trish_Regan Twitter: https://Twitter.com/Trish_Regan and, Facebook: https://Facebook.com/RealTrishRegan Get your LIVE FREE OR DIE gear here: https://TrishRegan.store Today's show is sponsored by the following adverterisers: https://LegacyPMInvestments.com https://RuffGreens.com/TrishRegan  Support the show: https://trishregan.store/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the past week, the world has been transfixed by a massive leak of top-secret Pentagon documents. Today, we hear directly from one of the teenagers who was part of the Discord channel where it all started, and get inside the head of the alleged leaker.Read more:On Thursday, a young member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard was arrested by the FBI in the investigation into leaks of hundreds of pages of classified military documents to a Discord group of friends and acquaintances. Today on “Post Reports,” we hear from one of the teenagers who was part of that online group and get insight into why someone with a security clearance and a position in the U.S. military might leak these documents.As national security and intelligence reporter Shane Harris explained, usually when people leak information it's because they want to expose wrongdoing by the government, or they think a crime is being committed. But his source said the alleged leaker is not a whistleblower.“I've never encountered an instance when someone was releasing classified information because he wanted to impress a bunch of teenagers,” Harris said.

The man suspected of leaking highly-classified military documents that revealed details about U.S. spying and intelligence about the war in Ukraine has been arrested. Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guard member, was taken into custody by heavily armed FBI agents. He's accused of posting hundreds of classified documents online.

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: As pro-life groups applaud what they called “this landmark win for women and girls,” the Biden administration is unhappy with the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals and its ruling that mifepristone can't be dispensed by mail. The case is now headed to the US Supreme Court. And more revelations are coming to light over the leak of dozens of highly classified documents on social media. The US intelligence community and lawmakers continue to assess the depth of the damage.

Welcome to the fifty-fourth episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast. I've waited to post this one because so much aviation history is happening over the US! Over the last weekend in Joint military operations, US Air Force F-22 Raptors and F-16C Vipers shot down the Chinese Spy Balloon and three additional objects, one over Lake Huron with an interesting description.  This episode contains the audio from the Spy Balloon shoot-down on 4 Feb and the object "decommissioned" on Sunday 12 Feb. A lot of questions I raise are still unanswered, like where did these last three objects come from and why did one of our most high tech air-to-air missiles miss on Sunday. Many of these questions will be answered when the payload and objects are recovered. Here are four links to the audio and video of the intercepts found on YouTube: F-22 and HUNTRESS audio from balloon shoot down.   The long version of Spy Balloon shoot down audio. Still pretty scratchy but easy to make it out. Audio of the F-16s Octagonal object shoot down over Lake Huron. The best video I've found of the Spy Balloon shoot down I mention in the podcast. The Lessons from the Cockpit podcast is sponsored by Wall Pilot, custom aviation art for the walls of your home, office, or hanger.  The F-22A Raptor is arguably the best fifth-generation fighter on the planet. A four, six, or eight-foot-long print of a Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 can be purchased here. The F-22s were supported by F-15Cs from the Massachusetts Air National Guard carrying SNIPER targeting pods on their centerline station. The 44th Fighter Squadron flies in the same configuration... AIM-120C AMRAAMs, AIM-9X Sidewinders, and the SNIPER pod. The F-16C Fighting Falcon has several air-to-air kills before this past weekend. F-16 prints of the 4th FS Fuujins and The Wraith from the 64th Aggressor Squadron are also available. I really do appreciate all of you downloading and listening to this and previous episodes of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast. All episodes of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast are found on my Mark Hasara website under the Podcast pulldown tab. Look forward to talking with you next week... who knows what will happen this week!

Please follow us on FB and Instagram, & make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube Channel. Welcome back for another episode of #JobTlks. This week's episode is quite special in that it is the first JobTlks Veterans Day Episode featuring special guest Lieutenant Shayne Newton of the Leominster Fire Department Local 1841. The JobTlks team is excited to welcome LT Newton to the show, as he is not only a 22-year veteran of the Leominster Fire Department but a 26-year veteran of the United States Air Force and Massachusetts Air National Guard, where he has held a litany of leadership assignments, retiring at the rank of Senior Master Sergeant. From here, the JobTlks team briefly highlights the service and background of Will & Barrey, who share the common bond of being Army Paratroopers. As the team dives into the episode, many veteran-related topics are discussed, such as highlighting what makes veterans well suited for a career in the fire service, working to maintain a positive perception of military service members as “ambassadors” of military service and continuing to exhibit many of the positive attributes of military service such as exhibiting a no-fail attitude and upholding core organizational and fire service values: discipline, honor, courage. In addition to discussing these important topics, the JobTlks team wraps up the day by discussing the importance of ensuring service members set themselves up for a successful transition from military service, regardless of occupational aspiration. The team highlights the importance of understanding that while the transition from military life to the civilian sector can be daunting, it can also be an incredible opportunity to succeed. One of the best ways to ensure a successful transition is to ensure you have a plan. The fire service offers many of the benefits that service members feel the military provided them: camaraderie, a sense of fulfillment and passion, structure, and of course, some excitement!

OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks with Dr. Daniel Kraft, MD, physician-scientist, inventor, entrepreneur, innovator, and Chair of the XPRIZE Pandemic Alliance Task Force. Daniel discusses his showcase event, Exponential Medicine. He also shares his insight on healthcare innovation and offers advice to anyone trying to get their business ideas off the ground.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Daniel considers himself an international healthcare futurist. He's focused on rethinking and reimagining digital healthcare to address the unmet needs of patients and to solve their pain points.   His vision includes democratizing healthcare solutions around the planet: drugs, devices, software, and wearables.  Daniel is the founder and Chair of Exponential Medicine - a high-energy and boldly redesigned medical conference. The annual program gathers biomedical and technology-based faculty, innovators, and organizations to explore technologies that will impact the future of health and medicine.  Daniel's advice for people who host events or speak at conferences: throw away the script and be less afraid of making mistakes. The Innovation Lab at Exponential Medicine helps accelerate entrepreneurs from startup to market. Healthcare is a team sport. No one person has the answer.  Daniel is an advocate of design thinking to meet people where they are - to redefine the problem to better understand people and challenge assumptions.  Daniel talks about the 15 years he spent as a flight surgeon practicing aerospace medicine in the California and Massachusetts Air National Guard and why he decided to get out of the military. If you're launching your own business, Daniel advises you to do it from the bedside. What problem are you solving? Understand who's cheese you might be moving.  Daniel also advises seeking out partners through virtual networking on LinkedIn and participating in pitch days with accelerators and incubators. Build a business plan and recruit people to your team. 3 KEY POINTS: The goal of Exponential Medicine is to bring people together to learn and cross-fertilize ideas - to accelerate incremental medicine.  COVID is sparking a health age through the use of telemedicine and the alignment of regulations with reimbursements. It's forcing us to find and catalyze new healthcare solutions - there will be new spinoffs coming out of COVID.  Figure out what your unmet need is and understand it from different angles. Look at the landscape of the competition and then build prototypes for your solution. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Healthcare and innovation is a team sport... Bring people together from all sorts of realms to learn and cross-fertilize...” - Dr. Daniel Kraft “Start with a minimum viable product and validate the marketplace ahead of time.” - Dr. Daniel Kraft RESOURCES: Daniel Kraft M.D.: https://danielkraftmd.net/  Dr. Daniel Kraft's Twitter: https://twitter.com/daniel_kraft Singularity Group: ​​https://www.su.org/ Exponential Medicine: http://exponentialmedicine.com/ Rock Health: https://rockhealth.com/ Have a healthcare business question?
