Here's the thing about workforce training… Most companies are not short on content. They are not short on slide decks.  They are not short on smart people teaching smart ideas. But the real question is this: Does the training actually stick? Because we've all been in those sessions where everyone nods along in the room… maybe even feels inspired for a minute… and then Monday happens. The inbox fills back up. The meetings stack up. The old habits come roaring back. And suddenly, that great training moment becomes just that. A moment. So how do we help busy adults learn in a way they can actually remember, apply, and turn into real behavior change at work? My special guest today is Ryan McCrea, and he's simplifying how to make workforce training stick. Here's how. My special guest today is Ryan McCrea and he's simplifying how to make workforce training stick. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: What micro-sized learning is, and why it works so well for busy adults at work. What helps people actually retain new information, including the power of relevance, repetition, and real-world application. How AI can support learning without weakening critical thinking, human skills, or good judgment, including the AHAH Method: A = Ask the right question H = Human first A = AI second H = Human last What it takes to turn training into real behavior change on the job, not just a great learning moment in the room. And the role managers play after training, including how they can reinforce learning, coach in 1:1s, and recognize positive behavior change when they see it. Q: Are you wanting to help make your workforce training stick? If yes, this one is for you.

En este episodio de Hemispherics hablamos sobre el daño axonal difuso tras un traumatismo craneoencefálico, una de las formas de lesión cerebral más frecuentes y, al mismo tiempo, más difíciles de comprender desde la clínica y la neuroimagen convencional. A lo largo del episodio revisamos cómo las fuerzas de aceleración y rotación pueden producir una lesión de desconexión en las redes cerebrales, profundizando en conceptos como la axotomía secundaria, la neuroinflamación, la vía del SARM1 o la lesión axonal traumática. También abordamos qué sabemos actualmente sobre resonancia magnética, tensor de difusión y biomarcadores como GFAP, UCH-L1 o neurofilamento ligero. Más allá de la biología, el episodio intenta trasladar todo esto a la realidad clínica y terapéutica. Hablamos de las expresiones cognitivas, conductuales y motoras que pueden aparecer en estos pacientes, de las limitaciones actuales del pronóstico y de cómo entender el daño axonal difuso no como una única lesión focal, sino como una alteración dinámica de redes cerebrales.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Dr. Armin McCrea-Dastur—leadership and performance consultant, Founder of Diamond Consulting, and expert in both business and sport psychology—to explore what it takes to perform at a high level across every environment.   Drawing from more than 30 years of experience in leadership development, organizational performance, and sport psychology, Armin shares a unique perspective on how the skills developed in athletics directly translate into success in business and life. From working with global brands like Ray-Ban, Kraft Foods, and Cadbury to supporting elite athletes and teams—including the University of North Carolina Men's Basketball program during their 2005 championship season—Armin explains how mindset, identity, and self-trust shape performance in critical moments.   You'll also hear practical strategies to manage second-guessing in the moment, build confidence in unfamiliar situations, and recognize the competitive advantage athletes already possess. Armin also reflects on her own journey stepping away from competitive skating and how that experience shaped her passion for helping others navigate performance, transition, and leadership with greater clarity.   This episode is a powerful reminder that the mindset skills built through sport don't end when competition does—they become the foundation for thriving in every arena of life.   You'll Learn: How performance principles apply across sport, business, and leadership Why athletes often struggle with identity after sport How to stop overthinking and trust yourself under pressure What separates high performers in unfamiliar environments Why self-awareness and adaptability are critical for long-term success   Episode Resources & Links Learn more about Diamond Consulting: https://www.diamondconsultingcorp.biz/ Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Download the Confidence Research Study: https://confidencestudy.com/

In this episode we travel to Vimy Ridge and discover how the Canadian Divisions came together to storm the German defences on Easter Monday 1917. We talk to Canadian historian Samantha McCrae and she explains how a Canadian soldier was awarded the Victoria Cross for his brave actions, but was killed in the process. And how a medic gave his life treating the wounded. We also discover how the Canadians planned and executed the attack and why tunnels, a model of the battlefield, heavy artillery and even the weather played a part in their incredible success. What does this battle mean to Canadians today? We find out.

Send us Fan MailLet's just say it.Most evaluation systems don't improve performance. They document it… sometimes poorly… and often too late to matter.In this episode, we take a hard look at a system that educators and leaders have been told to trust—annual evaluations, long observations, delayed feedback—and ask a simple question: If this actually worked, wouldn't we see better outcomes by now?Matt McCrea joins the conversation to unpack where evaluation systems break down and why leaders keep relying on them anyway. The issue isn't effort. It's not even intention. It's the gap between knowing and doing—and the absence of systems that shape behavior in real time.We get into what leaders are actually reinforcing, how feedback timing changes everything, and why most organizations are measuring performance instead of building it.If you're tired of checking boxes and calling it leadership, this one will hit.Guest Bio Matt McCrea is an executive coach and Partner at Third Coast Education Partners.

We have seen an extraordinary change in attitudes towards gay and lesbian people over the last half century in the West. Within living memory, homosexuality was criminalised. Now, same-sex couples can get married and share custody of children. This is nothing short of a moral revolution. Plenty of progressives think, not only that this change was inevitable, but also that further liberalisation is inevitable. My guests today are not so sure. They note that, for the first time in a long time, younger people on average are less accepting of homosexuality than are slightly older people. Perhaps this is a result of immigration patterns. Perhaps it's a result of strategic errors made by activists. I'm joined by three people who all agree that something has gone wrong, although they disagree – subtly – on exactly how and why. Ronan McCrea is professor of constitutional and European law at University College London and the author of 'The End of the Gay Rights Revolution: How Hubris and Overreach Threaten Gay Freedom.' Matthew Vines the the Founder and Executive Director of The Reformation Project and the author of 'God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships.'And Julie Bindel is a journalist, broadcaster, author, and the co-founder and co-director of The Lesbian Project.All of these guests share a concern that the wins of the gay rights movement are very fragile. There is a very real possibility that we will look back on the early twenty-first century as an historical blip – a brief moment of victory that was squandered. We ask how that fate might be avoided.

Jace and Rocky are back for another Comic Boom / Comic Source DC Spotlight, digging into 11 titles for the week of December 3rd, 2025 as the holidays ramp up and Jace teases his upcoming YouTube gift guides and "fireside chat" creator series before diving into eleven new DC titles that make up a solid if not spectacular week, with standout entries like Absolute Green Lantern, Batman, Poison Ivy, JSA, Gotham Academy, and the finale of Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League earning praise for strong pacing, character work, and the always-stellar art of Nicholas Scott. After noting how surprisingly close their rankings are this week, the conversation shifts into the DC KO tie-ins, beginning with a sharp dismissal of Batman: Night Fight #2 as a predictable, creatively hollow retread that squanders Dan Mora's brilliant art on yet another tired "Batman vs. the Bat-Family" setup with inconsistent tournament mechanics and no real stakes. By contrast, DC KO: Superman vs. Captain Atom #1 sparks a more nuanced discussion, as Rocky reassesses his assumptions about the moral framework of the tournament while both hosts admire Sean Isaacs' energetic visuals and the multiversal iterations on display, even as Jace expresses frustration at seeing Captain Atom once again portrayed as easily corrupted instead of realizing the potential shown in his strongest past interpretations. They dig into the murky logic of the fight's resolution, the ongoing characterization challenges for Captain Atom, and the broader editorial realities guiding DC KO, before wrapping up with a quick rundown of this week's facsimiles and collections—including classic Golden Age Superman material, the DC manga box set, Hitman by Ennis and McCrea, and the Judas Contract deluxe edition—and closing out with holiday well-wishes as Absolute Green Lantern, Poison Ivy, and Cheetah & Cheshire anchor the top of their weekly rankings.

Hugh talks to Ronan McCrea, professor of constitutional and European law at University College London, about his new book, The End of the Gay Rights Revolution. McCrea believes that the achievements of the most successful civil rights movement of the last few decades may be more politically fragile than most people assume. He argues that these successes were largely an incidental dividend of the wider sexual revolution rather than a standalone victory. What law and culture give quickly, he says, they can also take away.The book traces the shift from decriminalisation to equality, the AIDS-era turn to pragmatism, and the post-marriage-equality problem of purpose. McCrea contends that movement overreach, mission creep to ever-broader agendas, and a reluctance to confront awkward truths leaves freedoms exposed to changing demographics, populism and a revived moral conservatism. The conversation asks what a strategy of consolidation rather than perpetual expansion would actually look like and whether it carries costs as well as benefits in a world where history rarely moves in straight lines.The End of The Gay Rights Revolution is published by Polity.

On their second attempt in two years, in April 2025, Anna Pfaff and Andres Marin completed a direct new route up the south face of Mt. Providence in the Alaska Range, this time with Tad McCrea as their climbing partner. The nearly 1,000-meter climb had difficulties on rock, ice and snow. For Pfaff, who lost six toes to frostbite on a nearby mountain in 2022, the summit was a form of redemption. And on Mt. Providence, all three climbers found large doses of good fortune and serendipity. Host Jim Aikman interviewed each of the climbers to capture this compelling story of the power of friendship, belief and kismet in the Alaska Range.

In this episode, host Tyler Chisholm sits down with returning guest, Jeremy McCrea. As Managing Director of Equity Research at BMO Capital Markets, Jeremy brings over two decades of experience in the energy sector—and a refreshingly candid take on what it really means to be a better energy investor right now. Together, they unpack how uncertainty around tariffs, political volatility, and market sentiment is affecting investment decisions, and why many Canadian energy companies are being undervalued despite strong fundamentals. Jeremy also breaks down the three key traits he looks for when assessing a company: strong balance sheets, proven economics (like two-times payout), and early-stage innovation that hasn't hit the market radar yet.This episode is brought to you by clearmotive marketing.

This Bonus episode was first published as a "Guilt Trip" episode on Patreon on 7th April 2019. Dolores McCrea married the man that she had met and fallen for while in Secondary School in Donegal. But her husband, Gary, was a controlling man and became abusive. Soon the violence became too much for Dolores and she left Gary, bringing along their four daughters. But often the time after a person leaves their abuser is the most dangerous. And this was the case for Dolores. Gary McCrea had plans for Dolores once she left him which would lead him to standing in the dock in the Four Courts just over a year later. Music:Kevin McLeod, Quinns Song : The Dance Begins.

Our minisodes are a break from true crime and for this one gather around the campfire! We are joined by special guest and Michelle's dad, John Bedford Jeanis, to discuss the secret but yes, well-documented, family legend of their ancestor, Jean Jeanis, who is believed by the folks of Pointe Noire to shift into a 'mangy dog' at will otherwise known as the Chien de Lune or the Rougarou.
