Most people chase a single number, believing it holds the key to lasting happiness and an end to their worries. But what happens when you hit that number, or even exceed it, and find yourself staring into an emotional abyss? This week on The Nathan Barry Show, we sit down with Mike Brown, a former Navy fighter pilot who built and sold an eight-figure oil and gas company. He achieved what many dream of – supercars, a beautiful home, and immense wealth. Yet, he still found himself losing peace and $1.5 million in a failing venture, prompting a profound shift in his definition of "rich." Join us as Mike shares his powerful journey from external validation to true freedom, revealing why our pursuit of wealth often misses the point entirely.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:10 Mike sells his supercars and updates his values03:55 Embracing the "buy the ticket, take the ride" philosophy06:20 From Navy fighter pilot to oil and gas entrepreneur08:45 Finding a new definition of wealth: freedom15:58 Shifting from outcome goals to process goals20:55 Understanding dirty vs. clean fuel for motivation31:05 External validation and the never-ending treadmill36:30 The power of clean fuel: purpose and service41:15 How money serves two purposes44:10 The value of experiences over material possessions48:30 The spectrum of dirty and clean fuel52:30 When greatness comes at a cost57:25 Mechanical and emotional fixes for financial fear1:05:40 Maximizing return on happiness: experimental spending1:08:00 The highest leverage investments for entrepreneurs1:10:45 The invaluable cost of peace and personal growthIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

The London skyline is undergoing perhaps its most significant transformation in decades as a new ‘vertical renaissance' is sending tremors of excitement from Guildhall to Mansion House. The City of London Corporation says that over half a million square metres of office space was granted planning permission in the City in 2025, equivalent to more than ten ‘Gherkins' with around half of this amount already under construction. This includes the leviathan 309.6m ‘1 Undershaft' which will be as tall as the Shard when completed. But it is not all about the capacity, unlike the Financial Fortresses of the 20th century, as the earlier skyscrapers in the City were sometimes called, the new structures will be more open to the street, with pedestrian access, parks and commercial arcades, to make the city feel more vibrant and less sterile, than it has to previous generations. The City's largest office building, 22 Bishopsgate has led the way in a period of challenging economic headwinds, fully occupied and seeing record high rents, it is perhaps the first of these post-financial crash, vertical villages in the Square Mile that can be considered part of this renaissance.

In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest truths in entrepreneurship—knowing when a business isn't ready to stand on its own. Too many people pour thousands of dollars, years of time, and even money from family into ventures that simply aren't producing enough income to survive. At some point, determination can turn into financial damage. We discuss how to recognize when it's time to shift gears, get a steady job to stabilize your finances, and move the dream into a side hustle instead of letting it destroy your bank account and relationships. Stepping back from a struggling business isn't giving up—it's making a strategic decision to protect your future while continuing to build your vision the smart way.Opening QuestionsAt what point does a business stop being a “startup phase” and start becoming financial self-destruction?How do you know the difference between “pushing through hard times” and “refusing to accept reality”?Is it possible that the smartest business decision you can make is getting a full-time job?Why do so many entrepreneurs treat the idea of getting a job like it's failure?Is pride the biggest reason people keep pouring money into a dying business?Reality Check QuestionsIf your business hasn't paid you in a year, is it really a business or just an expensive hobby?How many months of losses should someone realistically tolerate before reassessing?If your spouse or family is financially supporting your “business,” are you really running a business?When you start borrowing money from family to keep a business alive, has it already crossed the line?Is there a point where continuing a failing business becomes irresponsible to your family?Ego vs RealityWhy do entrepreneurs sometimes confuse stubbornness with determination?Is quitting the wrong business actually a smart entrepreneurial move?How much of entrepreneurship is about knowing when to pivot or pause?Do social media success stories make people feel like they must grind forever even when it's not working?The Side Hustle StrategyWhy is turning a struggling business into a side hustle often the smartest move?What are the advantages of building a business while working a stable job?How does having steady income actually help a business grow smarter?Why do many successful businesses start as side hustles rather than full-time ventures?Is it better to grow slowly with stability rather than forcing growth with debt?Financial ResponsibilityWhat financial signals tell you it's time to stop treating something like a full-time business?Should every entrepreneur set a financial “kill switch” before starting a business?How much savings should someone realistically have before trying to go full-time with a startup?Is taking money from family to support a failing business ever justified?What's the long-term damage to relationships when businesses collapse after family investments?Hard Truths SegmentIs it possible that some ideas are just not viable businesses?How do you know when the market has spoken?What's the difference between “this needs more time” and “this will never work”?Why is it sometimes smarter to pause a business than destroy your finances trying to save it?Encouragement SegmentDoes moving a business to a side hustle mean the dream is over?Can getting a stable job actually accelerate your future success?Why is patience often the missing ingredient in entrepreneurship?Is the real entrepreneurial skill knowing when to adapt instead of when to grind harder?Powerful Closing Question “Is the goal to prove you're an entrepreneur, or to actually build something sustainable?” Strong Closing Statement You Could Use “A real entrepreneur isn't someone who refuses to quit. A real entrepreneur is someone who refuses to destroy their future chasing something that isn't ready yet.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ask-paul-national-electrical-code--4971115/support.

I walk through a complete 30-step playbook for building a modern SaaS company using AI agents, media, and sub-niche positioning. The core argument is that SaaS is evolving rather than dying, and the builders who win are the ones who combine a focused workflow product with a media flywheel and agent-powered execution. Drawing on my experience advising TikTok, Reddit, and building three venture-backed companies, I lay out a step-by-step framework any solo builder or small team can follow from niche selection through to becoming the default execution layer in their market. I'm hosting a free workshop so you can build your business in the age of AI. Sign up here: https://startup-ideas-pod.link/build-with-ai-2026 Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 01:18 – Step 1: Start with a sub-niche inside a big market 02:21 – Step 2-5: Map Workflow end to end 06:37 – Step 6-7: Create scroll-stopping content 10:15 – Steps 8–9: Double down on organic and run paid ads on winners 11:11 – Step 10: Capture emails from day one 11:47 – Steps 11–13: Manually perform the workflow and document every step 13:40 – Steps 14–16: Turn mechanical tasks into agent workflows and connect to real tools 14:47 – Step 17: Add orchestration, retries, and verifications 16:32 – Steps 18–19: Store user preferences and launch with high-touch onboarding 18:20 – Steps 20–21: Publish measurable proof and move to per-task pricing 21:21 – Steps 22–23: Outcome pricing and compounding value 22:07 – Steps 24–27: Expand workflows, build switching costs, create case studies 23:25 – Steps 28–30: Hire from the niche, reinvest profits, become the default layer 24:08 – Closing thoughts Key Points Start in a specific sub-niche, not a broad market — that is where sustainable cash flow lives, not VC competition. The future of SaaS starts as a service business: manually performing the workflow is how I learn what to automate. Media is a core business function, not an afterthought — content creation runs in parallel with product development from day one. Mechanical tasks are AI's strongest suit; separating judgment tasks from mechanical tasks is the key architectural decision. Per-task and outcome-based pricing is replacing per-seat models, and indie builders have a structural advantage in making that shift. Orchestration — coordinating agents, validating outputs, and resolving issues — is the new interface layer and the highest-value position to own.

SHOW NOTES: Notes, reference, freebies, and recommendations from this episode can be found at - https://www.morriswellnessservices.com/blog/185 Many common household cleaning products contain more than just soap. They often include quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), synthetic fragrance, chlorine compounds, and volatile organic compounds that can interfere with hormone balance over time. In this episode, we break down how cleaning chemicals enter the body through inhalation and skin contact, why “disinfect everything” culture may be doing more harm than good, and how these exposures can affect thyroid signaling, reproductive hormones, insulin regulation, lung health, and the nervous system. You'll learn: What quats are and where they hide How chlorine and bleach impact indoor air Why strong scent does not equal clean How repeated low-level exposure adds to endocrine load Practical, non-extreme swaps that reduce chemical stress This conversation focuses on discernment, not fear. Most surfaces do not require constant disinfecting. Mechanical cleaning with soap and water is often enough. Reducing chemical exposure lowers hormonal interference — but removing disruption is only step one. Restoring metabolic and endocrine function requires rebuilding intentionally. This episode is part of the Endocrine Disruptor Series exploring everyday exposures quietly impacting women's health. This is the newly rebranded podcast, formerly known as "Your Birth, God's Way".

What happens when you do everything "right" — the GLP-1, the protein shake, the tracking — and the scale still won't budge? This episode reveals why doing everything “right” might actually be a big part of the problem.This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor welcome Sandy, a listener from Pennsylvania who has been on the metabolic health journey for over a year. Sandy's story is one many listeners will recognize: decades of dieting starting in childhood, a body that kept adapting against her, and a medical system that kept telling her to try harder. But when Dr. Cooper reviews Sandy's actual lab work live on air, what she finds reframes everything — and offers a path forward that has nothing to do with restriction.Key TakeawaysSuppressed leptin hides a portion of your body fat from your brain, and possibly signals your brain that you're underweight — so your brain fights weight loss even when your body doesn't need protecting.Low insulin isn't always healthy; it can be a sign of the "selfish brain" redirecting precious glucose to the brain at the expense of your muscles.Weight cycling — losing and regaining the same weight repeatedly — creates cardiovascular and metabolic risk.Mechanical eating is the antidote to disordered eating: structured, non-restrictive fueling that rebuilds metabolic trust.GLP-1 medications can suppress appetite, so under-eating becomes a real risk — especially for people already conditioned to restrict.The goal isn't the number on the scale. It's metabolic stability and metabolic health, and those things are not the same.Notable Quote"It was such a revelation to me to hear you guys talk about it — it's a metabolic disorder. It's not a willpower issue, it's not a personal failing. It's something absolutely beyond my control. Like diabetes would be. Like migraines would be." — SandyLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: fatsciencepodcast.comCooper Center for Metabolism: coopermetabolic.comResources from Dr. Cooper: coopermetabolic.com/resourcesJoin Our Community: patreon.com/cw/FatSciencePodcastSubmit Your Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comFat Science is supported by the Diabesity Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to effective, science-based metabolic care.Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

CardioNerds (Dr. Jenna Skowronski [Heart Failure Council Chair], Dr. Shazli Khan, and Dr. Josh Longinow) are joined by renowned leaders in the field of AHFTC (Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology) and mechanical circulatory support, Dr. Jeff Teuteberg and Dr. Mani Daneshmand to continue the discussion of advanced heart failure therapies by taking a deep dive into the world of durable LVADs (Left Ventricular Assist Devices). In this episode, we will review the history of ventricular assist devices, the basics of LVAD function, selection criteria for LVAD therapy, and surgical nuances of LVAD implantation. Audio Editing by CardioNerds intern, Joshua Khorsandi. Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls There have been significant advances in the field of MCS/LVAD therapy since the first implanted LVAD in the 1960s, to the first FDA approved device in the early 2000's, to now the HM3 LVAD, with the most important change being a centrifugal flow/magnetically levitated design that led to minimized hemocompatibility-related adverse events (HRAE's) (MOMENTUM 3 trial comparing HM2 and HM3). The REMATCH trial in 2001 was a pivotal trial for LVAD therapy, demonstrating that in a population of patients with advanced HF (70% IV inotrope dependent), LVAD therapy significantly improved survival at both 1 and 2 years as compared to medical therapy alone. MOMENTUM 3 trial was a landmark trial for the HM3 device, showing that in a population of end stage HF patients (86% inotrope dependent, 32% INTERMACS 1-2, and 60% DT strategy), 5-year survival with HM3 was 58% and HM3 had lower HRAE's compared with HM2. There are both patient-specific factors and surgical considerations when it comes to candidacy for LVAD therapy. RV function prior to LVAD is a key determinant for success post-LVAD Many patients being considered for LVAD may not have robust RV function, however, predicting RV failure after LVAD is exceedingly difficult. In general, it doesn’t matter how bad the RV may look on imaging; we care more about the pre-LVAD hemodynamics (look at the PAPi and RA/wedge ratio). What happens in the OR may be the most important determinant of how the RV will do with the LVAD! Notes Notes drafted by Dr. Josh Longinow. 1. Historical background of heart pumps and LVADs LVAD Evolution FDA approval year 2001 2008 2012 2017 Pump HeartMate XVE HeartMate II Heartware HVAD HeartMate III Flow/Design Features Pulsatile Technology Continuous flow Axial design Continuous flow Centrifugal design Continuous flow Full MagLev + Centrifugal design The 1960's ushered in the first ‘LVADs', when the first air-powered ‘LVAD' was implanted. It kept the patient alive for four days before the patient expired. The first generation of LVADs were pulsatile pumps The first nationally recognized, FDA approved LVAD was the HeartMate XVE (late 1990s to early 2000s, REMATCH trial). The XVE pump used compressed air (pneumatically driven) to power the pump. Prior to the XVE, OHT was the standard of care for patients with advanced, end-stage heart failure. The second and third generations of LVADs were non-pulsatile, continuous flow devices and included the HVAD, HM2, and HM3 devices. MOMENTUM 3 was a landmark trial for the HM3 device, showing that in a population of sick patients with end stage HF (86% inotrope dependent, 32% INTERMACS 1-2, and 60% DT strategy), 5-year survival with HM3 was 58% and HM3 had lower HRAE's compared with HM2. The only pump that is currently FDA approved for implant is the HM3, although other pumps are in clinical trials (BrioVAD system, INNOVATE Trial). 2. What are LVADs, and how do they work? In simplest terms, the LVAD is a heart pump comprised of several key mechanistic components: Inflow cannula Mechanical pump Outflow cannula Driveline Controller/Power source The HM3 differs from its predecessors (HM2 and HVAD) in several key ways; HM3 is placed intrapericardial whereas the HM2 was placed pre-peritoneal. Perhaps most importantly, the HM3 is a fully magnetically levitated, centrifugal flow pump, whereas the HM2 is an axial flow device. Axial flow pumps are not magnetically levitated, leading to more friction produced between the ruby bearing's contact with the pump rotors, and higher rates of hemocompatibility related adverse events (HRAEs, i.e. pump thrombosis) and the HM2 was ultimately discontinued in favor of the HM3 (MOMENTUM 3 trial). 3. What do the terms ‘Destination Therapy' (DT) or ‘Bridge to Transplant' (BTT) mean when it comes to LVADs? When LVADs first came on the stage, EVERYONE was a BTT; these early pumps weren't designed for long term use (I.e. REMATCH Trial, Heartmate XVE) Destination therapy means the LVAD was placed in leu of transplant because there are contraindications to transplant REMATCH trial brought about the concept of “Destination therapy”, comparing outcomes in patients (with contraindications for transplant) who received an LVAD vs optimal medical therapy Bridge to transplant means we are placing the LVAD in a patient who may not be a transplant candidate at this moment in time (is too sick, or conversely, not sick enough), but may be down the line Bridge to recovery is another term used when the LVAD is being placed for a patient we think may have a recoverable cardiomyopathy 4. What are some factors we should consider when assessing a patient’s candidacy for LVAD, in general, and from a surgical perspective? Patient factors Older age might push us towards thinking LVAD rather than transplant In general, age > 70 is the cutoff for transplant, but this is not a hard cut off and varies institution to institution In general, think about things that help predict recovery after a major surgery; Frailty and Nutritional status are important, we try to optimize these prior to LVAD implant Right ventricular function remains the Achilles heel of LV support We know that needing temporary RV support post LVAD puts you on a different survival curve than patients who don’t need RVAD support Studies have not been able to successfully predict who will develop RV failure after LVAD implantation What happens in the time between when the patient goes to the OR and when they get back to the ICU is an important determinant who might develop RV failure post LVAD Surgical techniques such as implanting the HM3 in the intra-thoracic cavity, rather than intra-pericardial may help maintain LV/RV geometry to help optimize the RV post LVAD Surgical considerations for LVAD candidacy Small, hypertrophied LV: HM3 inflow cannula is small, but small hypertrophied ventricles tend towards chamber collapse during systole causing suction, needing to run slower with lower flow rates Chest size/diameter: pumps have gotten so small now, that for adults, these have become less of a consideration BMI: low BMI used to be more of a concern with the older pumps due to where they were placed, and the relative size of the pump itself, not so much now with the smaller HM 3 pumps Calcified LV apex: would increase risk of stroke, bleeding Driveline tunneling becomes a concern in the super obese population, higher risk for driveline infections (might tunnel these driveline's shorter, and to a less fatty region of the abdomen, could even tunnel out the thoracic cavity in the super obese to limit skin motion) 5. Is there a role for MCS (i.e. temporary LVAD such as Impella) in pre-habilitation of patients prior to LVAD surgery? The theory of being able to improve systemic perfusion, decongest the organs, and make the patient feel better prior to surgery makes sense, but becomes problematic due to the lack of a hard end point/time for prehabilitation which might risk delays in surgery More likely that it can lead to delay in the surgery, with less-than-optimal benefit; you don't want to prolong the wait for surgery and increase the risk for complications prior to surgery An Impella 5.5 is currently FDA approved for 2 weeks of support, not 2 months so timing is important to keep in mind It’s unlikely that you will take a patient and convert them from a malnourished, cachectic person in 2 weeks’ time 6. Is there a role for LVAD therapy in the younger patient population? Should we be thinking of LVAD up front for these patients, with the goal of transplanting down the line? Recovery may be more likely in certain populations, particularly younger females with smaller LV's; in those populations, perhaps bridge to recovery should be the focus, optimizing them on GDMT etc. The replacement of transplant, with MCS (LVAD) in young patients has become a topic of discussion, because these pumps have become better and better, with the thinking that an LVAD could bridge a patient for 10 years or so, and they could get a transplant later It is still a big unknown, but several concerns exist Patients who get LVADs might end up with complications that become contraindication to transplant down the line (stroke, sensitization etc) Patients and providers are more hesitant because of the more recent iteration for the UNOS criteria for OHT listing which no longer gives patients with an uncomplicated LVAD higher priority, and therefore they could end up waiting a longer time for a heart after undergoing LVAD References Rose EA, Gelijns AC, Moskowitz AJ, et al.

Mechanical eating refers to eating on a consistent schedule, usually every three to four hours, regardless of hunger cues. It is commonly introduced in early eating disorder treatment to stabilize nourishment and interrupt restriction or binge cycles. In this episode, Dr. Marianne explains how mechanical eating creates physiological rhythm in a body that has experienced disruption. Eating disorders affect digestion, blood sugar, hormones, and nervous system regulation. Mechanical eating restores predictability and reduces biological chaos. Lifelong recovery invites a deeper question. Is structure still serving you years into recovery, or has it become rigid? How Mechanical Eating Supports Your GI System, Blood Sugar, and Mood Mechanical eating is not just about timing. It directly supports digestive health, metabolic stability, and emotional regulation. Regular nourishment helps the gastrointestinal system relearn movement and tolerance after restriction. It can reduce bloating, reflux, constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain that often occur when eating patterns have been irregular. Mechanical eating also stabilizes blood sugar levels. Long gaps without food can lead to shakiness, irritability, brain fog, dizziness, and intense urgency to eat. Consistent intake smooths those fluctuations and supports steady energy throughout the day. Because the brain depends on adequate fuel, mechanical eating also improves mood regulation. Anxiety, irritability, and low mood often intensify when nourishment is inconsistent. Stabilizing blood sugar reduces these physiological stress responses and creates a more regulated emotional baseline. For many people, these benefits make mechanical eating a powerful and supportive tool. When Mechanical Eating May Stop Fitting Lifelong eating disorder recovery requires flexibility. A strategy that was essential in early recovery may need to evolve over time. Mechanical eating can become rigid if the clock replaces internal cues entirely. Some people experience anxiety if eating times shift. Others notice that hunger cues remain muted even after years of structure. For neurodivergent individuals, strict schedules may conflict with executive functioning variability, sensory sensitivities, or fluctuating energy. This episode explores how to recognize when mechanical eating is supportive and when it may need to be adapted. Recovery is not about perfect adherence. It is about building a sustainable, compassionate relationship with food and body over time. Who Mechanical Eating Helps Most in Long-Term Recovery Mechanical eating often benefits people who need predictable physiological regulation, reduced decision fatigue, and steady nourishment despite unreliable hunger signals. It can be especially helpful during stress, illness, life transitions, or periods of emotional overwhelm. Rather than seeing mechanical eating as a permanent rule, Dr. Marianne reframes it as a flexible tool that can be used when needed and modified when necessary. Lifelong recovery allows room for adaptation. ARFID, Selective Eating, and Mechanical Eating For individuals with ARFID or selective eating, mechanical eating alone is often not enough. Sensory sensitivity, fear of aversive consequences, and low appetite require neurodivergent-affirming and sensory-attuned approaches. Dr. Marianne's ARFID and Selective Eating Course provides structured, trauma-informed, and liberation-centered support for people who need more than traditional eating disorder recovery tools. In the course, she addresses nervous system regulation, sensory safety, and realistic long-term change. Learn more about the ARFID course and therapy options at drmariannemiller.com.

Some artifacts don't belong. Buried in sand. Hidden in shipwrecks. Locked in museum cases. Objects that shouldn't exist — at least not according to the official timeline. In this episode, we dive into the world of Out-of-Place Artifacts — the Baghdad Battery, the Antikythera Mechanism, the Iron Pillar of Delhi, the Sabu Disc, the Nimrud Lens, the Wedge of Aiud — relics that feel like glitches in history itself. Ancient batteries. Mechanical computers 2,000 years ahead of their time. Rust-proof iron. Precision stonework that modern tools struggle to replicate. Are these just misunderstood relics… Or evidence that something has been forgotten — or erased? Was there lost technology? A vanished civilization? Cycles of collapse we refuse to acknowledge? The deeper you look, the stranger it gets. History tells a story. But sometimes the artifacts tell a different one. Listen. Learn. Laugh. Question everything.

There's a particular kind of discomfort that doesn't look dramatic from the outside.No screaming.No betrayal.No big rupture.Just a quiet shift.You sit across from your partner at dinner.You talk about schedules, bills, the kids, the weekend plans.You scroll next to each other on the couch.You go through the motions.And somewhere in the background, a subtle thought appears:“Why does this feel so… flat?”Not explosive.Not broken.Just… dull. Distant. Mechanical.In today's episode, Help! My relationship feels… boring, I unpack the real reason this happens — and it's probably not what you think.Because boredom in a relationship is rarely about “not having enough in common.”More often, it's a sign that something true isn't being voiced.A whisper you've been overriding.A part of you that's been kept out of the room.And when we silence one truth long enough… we don't just numb that feeling.We numb everything.In the episode, I share two personal stories that changed how I understand “aliveness”, and how radical honesty (not harshness) can bring realness back to a connection that feels dead.Episode timestamps:02:05 — The question that's been marinating in my mind03:46 — What do we do when a relationship feels boring?05:01 — The dilemma: wanting the spark before the effort06:22 — When your relationship with yourself feels dull too07:22 — The real reason boredom shows up08:01 — A personal story about feeling flatlined13:42 — The cost of hiding important truths17:19 — What “radical honesty” actually meansIf you've been feeling “blah” lately — please don't assume it means something is wrong with you, or that the relationship is doomed.Instead, let this be a gentle invitation:What truth wants a little more space?What part of you is waiting to be seen again?Oh—and if you have something you're navigating and would love my take on it...

Sounds like… sounds like braille! What does braille sound like anyway? This week on Outlook we're continuing with braille. What does it sound like, look like, feel like? From the analog to the electronic and the hiss of fingers sliding, reading along braille paper's page, it's the music of the six dots of the Braille code we're listening to on another Braille Literacy Month edition of Outlook with a mixed bag of topics with our first all-back-in-studio show together of the new year. We discuss the upcoming year's Blindness 101 workshops sister/co-host Kerry will be putting on in Ontario, with the next episode's guests coming on to explain how these will work, so we're going over ways to demonstrate the six dot braille cell. Speaking of music and the media, we're also talking accessible guitar amps, sound boards, and other accessible devices in our digital world, all while we're joined (in-studio) by a Western Gazette newspaper representative who's doing a story on Outlook, six years on from some of our first media coverage for the show. Kerry and BF Barry share about their most recent Air Canada flight and requesting seat back entertainment system screen reader activation, requiring the flight crew to turn it on at their station, not to mention the wider helpfulness of the crew on this last flight when such customer service isn't always the case. Plus, an airport inclusion update, from customer service to customs officers. Then there's story time with storyteller brother/co-host Brian and a tale of Mr. Rogers, a young blind fan, and a question about the feeding schedule status of the on-set goldfish. This alongside discussion of some more upcoming Outlook guests, including for March's International Women's Day, while looking back on the previous few years of IWD guests, restorative justice, and a CBC Morning story, in the news, of lived experience of a sexual assault victim minimised in police academy student chat logs. From harsh discrediting to quiet inclusion to book reviews and release announcements (with “The Will To Change” and the January 20th release of “The Culting of America”). We're grateful for accurate media representation, with coverage for this radio show/podcast, but we also needed to end off this one by revisiting the lazy use of “blind” and “blindness” in the commonly used language and culture. Mechanical or manual, slate or sheet. Keys or stylus. These are the sounds of BRAILLe and check out a link to the patchwork of braille sounds we found in this Youtube video we feature to start this week's program which our blind and sighted audience can all get something out of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGMsc7G1kiQ
Most people say they want love, then date like they're configuring a device: height, income, politics, trauma level, texting cadence, therapy status, “emotional intelligence,” travel appetite—tick, tick, tick. It feels safe. It feels efficient. It feels like control. But love isn't mechanical. People aren't programmable. They have grey areas: prickly parts, warm parts, avoidant parts, tender parts, contradictions, history. A checklist can't measure inner world alignment, truth-telling, repair ability, or whether two people can actually build safety together. I unpack how romantic idealism can make you naïve—especially when you grew up in warmth and assume everyone else did too. Then reality hits: people don't always tell the truth, not always under pressure, and if you don't interrogate someone's inner world you end up in cycles that feel “mystical” but are actually predictable scripts. The shift is simple: keep your values, drop the robot requirements. Choose moment-to-moment evidence. Build the skill of doing things well with people—clarity, repair, accountability, warmth. Then create a vehicle for connection that's alive, consistent, and real. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why does everyone suddenly want to open a bathhouse, and why is design the make or break factor? In this episode of StarrCast, we unpack the real drivers behind the bathhouse and social wellness boom and explore what it actually takes to design a space that is viable, code compliant, and built to last. Host Lisa Starr sits down with three global experts to break down bathhouse design from the inside out, covering infrastructure, flow, hygiene, materials, mechanical systems, and guest experience. This conversation is essential listening for anyone exploring social wellness, hydrothermal spaces, or large scale spa development. What You'll Lear: Why bathhouses and social wellness clubs are resurging in North America and globally The biggest design and infrastructure mistakes new bathhouse owners make How water, ventilation, mechanical systems, and waterproofing drive cost and feasibility What "flow" really means in bathhouse design and how it impacts revenue and safety How hygiene, maintenance, and guest perception influence long term success Episode Highlights: 03:14 – Why bathhouses are booming and what is actually driving demand 09:42 – Social wellness clubs vs traditional spas and why the distinction matters 16:30 – When to talk about budget and why early education is critical 24:18 – Water, drainage, ventilation, and mechanical systems you cannot ignore 34:06 – Hygiene, health codes, and how guests judge cleanliness instantly 44:21 – Designing for flow, capacity, and the full guest journey 53:10 – Quiet vs social spaces and how design shapes behavior Meet the Guests: Ali McQuaid Founder and Creative Director of Future Studio, a Toronto based interior design firm focused on forward thinking spaces that respond to evolving lifestyles and wellness needs. Alberto Carrillo Senior Associate at Meridian Design in New York City, specializing in architectural planning, code compliance, and complex wellness environments. Don Genders Founder and CEO of Design for Leisure, a global leader in designing award winning hydrothermal spa and social wellness environments. Tools, Frameworks, or Strategies Mentioned: Social wellness club design models Hydrothermal and bathing infrastructure planning Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing coordination for wet environments Capacity and egress analysis for bathhouse safety Long term maintenance and hygiene planning Closing Insight: "Design the purpose, not the code." This episode makes one thing clear. Successful bathhouses are not built on aesthetics alone. They are built on deep technical planning, realistic budgets, and a clear understanding of how people move, gather, and care for shared wellness spaces.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 📌 Key Points 💨 HFNC met criteria for non-inferiority to BPAP for preventing intubation or death within 7 days in four of the five ARF subgroups.🧪 Bayesian dynamic borrowing increased power across subgroups but created variable certainty, especially in smaller groups such as COPD.🫁 The immunocompromised hypoxemia subgroup did not meet non-inferiority, leading to early trial stopping for futility.️ Rescue BPAP use, subgroup-specific exclusion criteria, and non-standardized BPAP delivery are important contextual factors that influence how subgroup results should be interpreted. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BPAP) has long been a foundational modality in the management of acute respiratory failure (ARF), particularly in COPD exacerbations and cardiogenic pulmonary edema, where it can rapidly reduce work of breathing and improve gas exchange. It remains a core tool in our respiratory support arsenal.High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), however, has expanded what we can offer patients by delivering many of the same physiologic benefits through a far more comfortable interface. With high flows, modest PEEP, and effective dead-space washout, HFNC can improve oxygenation and decrease work of breathing while preserving the ability to talk, cough, eat, and interact with staff and family. This combination of physiologic support and tolerability makes HFNC especially attractive in patients where comfort, anxiety, or cardiovascular stability are key considerations, and in settings where prolonged noninvasive support may be needed. Rather than competing with BPAP, HFNC broadens our options in ARF and allows us to better match the modality to the patient and their underlying disease process.The RENOVATE trial set out to answer a high-impact question across five distinct etiologic groups: Is HFNC non-inferior to BPAP (NIV) for preventing intubation or death in acute respiratory failure? 🧾 Paper Azoulay É, et al.

Welcome to this week's episode of The Lead. Join HRS Digital Education Committee member and podcast host Danesh Kella, MBBS, FHRS as he welcomes his guests Rahul N Doshi, MD, FHRS and Robert D Schaller, DO, FHRS. They are discussing Mechanical Vacuum Aspiration and Debulking of Large Vegetations During Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Extractions, which was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in October 2025. This article describes the use of mechanical vacuum aspiration systems to debulk large intracardiac vegetations during cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) extraction, aiming to reduce embolic risk and procedural complications. The authors highlight procedural techniques, patient selection, and safety considerations when combining aspiration with transvenous lead extraction. This approach represents an important adjunctive strategy for managing complex CIED infections with large vegetations. Learning Objectives Describe the role of mechanical vacuum aspiration in the management of large vegetations during CIED extraction procedures. Identify patient selection criteria and procedural considerations for safely combining vegetation debulking with transvenous lead extraction. Recognize potential risks, benefits, and complications associated with aspiration-assisted extraction in patients with CIED infection.

FAA reorganization and shutdown prep, Airbus A220 stretch, certification as a trade tool, UPS MD‑11 retirement, 777X engine snag, fatal Challenger crash, iconic aircraft, new NASM galleries, aviation career issues, aviation-themed music, and a future DC‑3/CH‑47 fly‑in. Aviation News FAA Adds Departments, Shuffles Roles The new FAA reorganization differs from the previous structure mainly by centralizing safety oversight, creating new modernization and advanced technology offices, and consolidating internal support functions under new top-level offices. A new, agency‑wide Aviation Safety Management System (SMS) Organization implements a single safety system and risk-management strategy across all FAA lines of business, rather than having safety functions and metrics siloed in multiple offices as before. An Airspace Modernization Office is dedicated to rolling out the “brand‑new air traffic control system” and overseeing broader NAS modernization, which previously was handled within the Air Traffic Organization and other units rather than a single, focused office. An Office of Advanced Aviation Technologies integrates UAS, eVTOL, AAM, electric, and supersonic aircraft into the NAS. These functions were formerly spread among UAS integration, NextGen, and various certification/AVS branches. A new Administration and Finance Office consolidates the functions of finance, information technology, and human resources. Previously, they were distributed across multiple lines of business and staff offices. A Policy and Legal Office pulls together policy, legal, stakeholder engagement, financial assistance, and the agency's rulemaking/regulatory office. Previously, rulemaking and policy lived mainly within Aviation Safety and other distinct policy offices. The Administration and Finance Office, Policy and Legal Office, Air Traffic Organization, and the new safety and modernization offices all report to the Administrator. Shutdown Plan for FAA Involves 10K Furloughs The FAA's plan for the short-lived partial government shutdown was to furlough more than 10,000 FAA workers and withhold pay for 13,835 air traffic controllers. Exclusive: Airbus to kickstart pre-sales for a larger A220 jet, sources say Airbus is considering launching an A220 stretch – the A220-500 with around 180 seats. This is a “simple stretch,” meaning the same wings, the same engines, and a longer fuselage. The Airbus Board approval is required before the A220-500 can be formally launched. Trade War Skies: Understanding Trump's 2026 Decertification Order on Canadian Aircraft In a January 30, 2026, social media post, President Donald Trump announced the “decertification” of all Canadian-manufactured aircraft if Gulfstream aircraft were not certified by Canada. The President alleged that Canada has “wrongfully, illegally, and steadfastly” refused to certify U.S.-made G500, G600, G700, and G800 jets. If Transport Canada did not act immediately, a 50% tariff would be implemented. Over 5,400 Canadian-built planes are registered in the U.S. This sent shockwaves, if not panic, throughout the industry. With time, clarification has come: The order would apply to new aircraft airworthiness certificates and wouldn't ground the fleet. The IAM (International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers) urged a separation of safety regulation and political grievances. “You can't weaponize the certification process,” said union leaders, emphasizing that aviation safety should remain an independent pillar of global travel. Some feel Transport Canada is holding off on certifying the G700 and G800 mainly because they are not willing to mirror the FAA's temporary fuel‑icing exemption. The Canadian regulator wants the full cold‑weather and icing compliance demonstrated first. UPS won't resurrect MD-11 fleet after deadly crash, takes $137M charge UPS is retiring its fleet of 27 MD-11 aircraft and, in the process, writing off $137 million after-tax. The MD-11s will be replaced with twin-engine Boeing 767-300 cargo jets. In response to the grounding of the MD-11 fleet, UPS repositioned some aircraft from outside the US, expanded transportation by truck, and leased planes from partner airlines. During an earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Brian Dykes said, “Over the next fifteen months, we expect to take delivery of 18 new Boeing 767 aircraft, with 15 expected to deliver this year. As new aircraft join our fleet, we will step down the leased aircraft and associated expenses. We believe these actions are consistent with building a more efficient global network positioned for growth, flexibility and profitability.” Boeing's certification ‘hangover' drags on with new 777X issue Also, Boeing has identified an engine durability issue with the General Electric GE9X engines that power the 777X, although CEO Kelly Ortberg says this will not impact the first 777X delivery in 2027. Also, Ortberg signalled to investors that the company plans to increase 737 MAX production this year to 47 from 42 planes per month. Boeing has been preparing a fourth MAX production line in Everett to produce 737 MAX 10s, although the aircraft has yet to receive certification. Boeing posted job openings for the line, and the tooling is complete. Tracing the hours after a fatal plane crash in Bangor The Bombardier Challenger 600‑series business jet crashed during takeoff from Bangor International Airport in a snowstorm, killing all six people on board and triggering a complex, weather‑hampered investigation. The business jet was operating a private flight from Bangor to Europe with two crew and four passengers from the Houston area. The plane had been deiced and was cleared for takeoff on runway 33 around 7:40–7:45 p.m., in heavy snow, with visibility down to about three‑quarters of a mile and several inches of snow on the ground. Within roughly a minute of takeoff clearance, controllers halted all traffic after the aircraft crashed on or near the runway, coming to rest inverted and on fire. Possible lines of inquiry include: Wing contamination and ice buildup are known risk factors that have contributed to past Challenger‑series accidents. Aircraft performance and whether the wing stalled on takeoff. Deicing procedures and timing relative to takeoff, including whether holdover times were exceeded. Crew qualifications, training, and recent duty history. Mechanical condition of the aircraft and any anomalies captured on the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, which have been sent to the NTSB in Washington.

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes three members of the World Sleep Society's consumer health technology task force—Dr. Michael Chee, Professor and Director of the Center for Sleep and Cognition at the National University of Singapore who chaired the guideline-writing task force; Dr. Mathias Baumert, an associate professor leading the biomedical engineering discipline of the school of Electrical and Mechanical engineering at Adelaide University in Australia, and Dr. Cathy Goldstein, professor of neurology at the University of Michigan. to discuss their global recommendations for the use of consumer sleep technology and wearable health trackers. Consumer wearables have become ubiquitous in clinical practice, with patients routinely sharing device data. While some clinicians have historically dismissed this information, attitudes are shifting as technology improves and rigorous research examines sensors, algorithms, and data quality. Dr. Chee explains that the recommendations are designed for multiple audiences: end-users, clinicians, researchers, and manufacturers, with specific guidance for each group. The conversation addresses practical considerations: the assumption that users have good perfusion, how bed partners can influence movement detection, and the fundamental truth that the best device is one patients will actually wear properly. The panel discusses recent FDA regulatory changes and clarifies whether guidance applies only to non-FDA cleared wellness devices or has broader implications. The experts systematically review various metrics from wearables. They introduce TATS (total attempted time in sleep) and explain what clinicians should know about sleep onset and offset detection. The episode emphasizes the call for standardized Fundamental Sleep Measures and greater transparency about test populations used in device validation. Dr. Baumert discusses the need to co-create benchmarks for measurement accuracy across different contexts—from persons with normal sleep to shift workers to those with sleep disorders. Whether you're skeptical about consumer wearables or seeking guidance on interpreting patient-generated data, this episode provides evidence-based recommendations for moving forward responsibly. Join us for this important discussion about embracing consumer sleep technology while maintaining clinical rigor.
