His father rejected him. His grandmother changed everything. Brad Ryan spent seven and a half years driving across America with his 85-year-old grandmother, visiting all 63 national parks, and quietly healing the wounds his coming out left behind. What started as an adventure became something neither of them expected: a reckoning with family, identity, and the stories gay men tell themselves about who will ever truly accept them. Brad joins Rick to talk about what happens when you stop waiting for the people who hurt you and start showing up for the ones who show up for you. Key Takeaways: Why Brad didn't come out until college and what his father's reaction cost himHow a camping trip in the Smoky Mountains became the turning point with his grandmotherWhy gay men build elaborate stories about rejection that don't match realityWhat intergenerational connection offers gay men that their own community often can'tHow curiosity instead of judgment transforms even the most broken family relationshipsWhy healing doesn't always look like confrontation — sometimes it looks like a road trip About Brad Brad Ryan is a veterinarian, wildlife conservationist, social media influencer, and writer from southeastern Ohio. He earned his BA from Miami University in Ohio, an MSc in mammalian biology from the University of Pretoria in South Africa, and a DVM/MPH combined degree from The Ohio State University, specializing in wildlife medicine and veterinary public health. For Brad, storytelling is a vehicle for healing—rooted in empathy, inspired by nature, and driven by a desire to help others feel seen and connected. As a keynote speaker, he champions LGBTQ+ inclusion in the outdoors, eliminating stigma around mental health, and the protection of wildlife Connect With Brad Website Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Hey Guys, Check This Out!

In "Built to Last: Inside Holman Logistics", Joe Lynch speaks with President and COO of Holman Logistics, Mike Gardner, about how the company's 162-year heritage, safety-first culture, and long-term customer partnerships drive sustainable growth in today's supply chain landscape. About Mike Gardner Mike Gardner is the President & COO of Holman Logistics, a national third-party logistics company headquartered in Seattle, Washington. With a 40-plus-year career in supply chain management, Mike has held executive roles at GATX Logistics, APL Logistics, and DHL Supply Chain, previously serving as CEO of Kane Logistics before advising in 3PL, real estate, and venture capital. At Holman, he oversees 1,400 team members, over eight million square feet of distribution space, and a nationwide transportation network. Mike holds an MBA from Southern Illinois University and a Bachelor of Science from Miami University, where he serves on the Center for Supply Chain Excellence board. Passionate about empowering family businesses, he is also a founding board member of ALAN. Beyond logistics, this former high school chef, Cincinnati native, father of three, and marathoner has raised $7.4 million for cancer research over 16 years through Pelotonia. About Holman Logistics Holman Logistics is a national third-party logistics (3PL) provider offering multi-client warehousing, manufacturing support, and nationwide transportation solutions. Founded in 1864 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, the privately held company manages over eight million square feet of distribution space and operates a network spanning 20 locations across nine states. Operating with over 1,400 team members, Holman specializes in high-exacting verticals, including consumer packaged goods (CPG), food and beverage, ingredients, pet food, and major appliances. Its core capabilities range from contract warehousing, plant sub-assembly, and Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) services to private fleet shipping, dedicated shuttles, freight brokerage, and direct-to-consumer ecommerce fulfillment. Grounded in a culture prioritizing operational safety and long-term customer partnerships, Holman balances its multi-generational heritage with modern operational capabilities—incorporating advanced automation, continuous improvement programs, and AI-enabled site tools to deliver consistent, high-performance execution. Key Takeaways: Built to Last: Inside Holman Logistics In "Built to Last: Inside Holman Logistics", Joe Lynch speaks with President and COO of Holman Logistics, Mike Gardner, about how the company's 162-year heritage, safety-first culture, and long-term customer partnerships drive sustainable growth in today's supply chain landscape. Safety as an Operational Strategy ("Journey to Zero"): Holman Logistics treats safety not as a metric compared to industry averages, but as a non-negotiable core value targeting zero incidents. Operational safety sets the foundation for service quality, and every associate is empowered to "own the stop button" to pause unsafe operations. 162+ Years of Adaptability: Founded during the Lincoln administration and family-owned for over a century, Holman's longevity is proof of continuous adaptation—navigating world wars, recessions, deregulation, and eccommerce growth by staying close to customer needs. Culture Drives Retention and Service Consistency: In an industry plagued by high turnover, Holman relies on a people-first, performance-driven culture—reinforced by leadership orientations and awards like the Bob Downie Legacy Award—to retain experienced associates who know the customer's business inside out. True Strategic Partnership Over Transactional Service: Holman builds long-term, embedded relationships (some lasting since the 1960s) using open communication, system integration, and gain-sharing models that align financial incentives around mutual cost savings and continuous improvement. Nimble Innovation Without Tech Hype: Holman balances legacy heritage with modern capabilities. As a privately held "thinking company," it rapidly adopts practical technology—such as AI vision tools on forklifts for training—while quickly discarding tech that doesn't add operational value. Private Ownership as a Strategic Advantage: Unlike 3PLs beholden to private equity exit timelines or quarterly public earnings, Holman's multi-generational family leadership offers stability, long-term capital planning, and agility when customizing solutions for mid-market shippers. Focusing on Core Complex Markets: Holman deliberately specializes in high-exacting verticals—including CPG, ingredients, pet food, and major appliances—providing tailored services ranging from plant sub-assembly and store-door delivery to Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) support and final-mile execution.

Ryan Hawk arrived at Miami University the day after high school graduation, with a plan to earn the starting quarterback job and make it to the NFL. Two years later, a 6'5" kid from somewhere in Ohio showed up and took the job away from him. That kid turned out to be Ben Roethlisberger. What Ryan did with that moment became the entire foundation of The Learning Leader podcast, one of the most respected leadership shows in the country, and his new book The Price of Becoming. He joins Joe and OG to talk about the habits, frameworks, and daily actions that compound into something exceptional -- and what to do when the plan doesn't survive contact with reality.What You'll Walk Away WithCoach Hepp's three-sentence leadership philosophy that Ryan has never forgotten: have a plan, work the plan, and plan for the unexpectedWhy being told "he gives us a better chance to win than you do" was the most valuable coaching Ryan ever received -- and what it teaches about adding value versus wanting creditThe imitate-then-innovate framework: why The Beatles were a cover band first, why Wayne Gretzky took handwritten notes watching players smaller than himself, and why copying the greats isn't theft -- it's the fastest path to finding your own voiceRyan's first draft pick for becoming exceptional: a five-to-ten minute nightly prompt exercise built around one Charlie Munger question that compounds like a great investmentWhy truth tellers -- people willing to look you in the eye and tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear -- are the most underrated asset in any high performer's lifeThe superpower Ryan has found in every great leader he's interviewed across 11 years and hundreds of conversations: deep, specific curiosity -- and why it's the ultimate form of showing loveSweat more than you watch other people sweat: Scott Galloway's physical discipline framework applied to every area of lifeThe Brock Purdy late-round pick: why bringing a notebook to every meeting -- something almost no intern or young employee does -- is the single easiest way to stand out and learn fasterThe boomerang kids debate: why nearly half of Americans under 30 now live with a parent, when OG thinks it's a great idea, when he thinks you suck, and why it only works if there's a real plan with a real end dateJames from the community: how retiring at 52 let him become his daughter's bank in a hot real estate market -- loan document, market rate, free labor but zero say in the houseWhy This Matters NowThe gap between people who become exceptional and people who almost do isn't talent -- it's the daily actions they're willing to stack. This episode is the practical blueprint for what those actions actually look like.From the BasementRyan Hawk joins Joe and OG to talk about getting benched, the imitate-then-innovate path from cover band to original voice, and the five draft picks that build a great life -- including one that Joe immediately connects to hiding money from himself. The Wall Street Journal's piece on boomerang kids gives OG a platform to explain exactly when it's smart, when it's lazy, and why his kids should not take this as an invitation. Doug arrives with Cleveland trivia and the story of how a newspaper's cheap typesetting permanently changed the name of a major American city. James from the community sends a letter that makes OG quietly admit he was wrong about the appraisal.Resources MentionedThe Price of Becoming: The Compounding Practices of High Performance by Ryan Hawk -- available wherever books are soldThe Learning Leader podcast -- Ryan Hawk; available wherever you listen to podcasts; learningleader.comSteal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon -- referenced for the imitate-then-innovate frameworkSet for Life by Scott Trench -- referenced for Joe's kids; biggerpockets.comBroke Millennial by Erin Lowry -- referenced for Joe's kids; brokemillennial.comWall Street Journal -- "Living With Your Parents Is No Longer Viewed as a Failure to Launch" by Rebecca Picciotto and Nicholas G.

Last academic year colleges and universities across the US struggled with whether to mandate COVID vaccinations for their students. While colleges often require vaccines, the political controversy surrounding the COVID shots made adopting a vaccine policy a complicated undertaking. But according to one study, it had a profound impact on the national COVID death toll last fall. That's the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Riley Acton. Riley Acton is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Miami University, as well as a Research Affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) and the College Crisis Initiative (C2i). She is an applied microeconomist who specializes in labor economics and the economics of education. Her current work examines the causes and consequences of decisions made by higher education institutions, the effect of local labor market shocks on K-12 and college students, and the impact of school finance policies on educational outcomes.
Over six weekends in the summer of 1969, nearly 300,000 Black people gathered in Harlem's Mount Morris Park for the Harlem Cultural Festival, a series of concerts celebrating Black music.

Deborah Netolicky talks with José Bowen about the inevitability of AI in education and in life. They discuss where AI is already transforming schools, universities, work and everyday life; where it can enhance learning and productivity; where caution is needed; when we should outsource thinking to machines and when we should resist doing so; and why the serendipity and randomness of human encounters remain central to learning and creativity. José has been leading innovation and change for over 45 years at Stanford, Georgetown and the University of Southampton (UK), as a dean at Miami University and SMU and as President of Goucher College. He worked as a musician with Stan Getz, Dave Brubeck, and many others and his symphony was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Music (1985). His books include ‘ Teaching Naked', ‘Teaching Change: How to Develop Independent Thinkers using Relationships, Resilience and Reflection', and ‘Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning' with C.

On August 6, 1962, the island of Jamaica became an independent nation, making it the first sovereign English-speaking country in the Caribbean.

As MUDEC's first Luxembourgish Executive Director retires after 24 years, Raymond Manes shares the love story behind Miami University in Luxembourg. For almost six decades, a slice of American university life has been quietly thriving in the Grand Duchy. The Miami University John E. Dolibois European Center, known to most simply as MUDEC, has welcomed students from Ohio to Luxembourg since 1968. This month, its first Luxembourgish Executive Director, Raymond Manes, closes a 24 year chapter as he steps into retirement. He arrived at Miami in 2002, took the helm in 2020, and steered the centre through the pandemic when American students were able to continue their semester abroad while most universities on both sides of the Atlantic had gone fully online. "For me, it's a love story of 24 years. It has been really a wonderful time at Miami. But Miami is not in Florida." That last point is the one Raymond loves to correct. Miami University sits in Oxford, Ohio, roughly halfway between Cincinnati and Dayton, and its name traces back to the Myaamia tribe, whose people were later moved to Oklahoma. The connection runs deep today: tribe members study at Miami with free tuition, and of around 150 who have graduated, 45 have come through Luxembourg. The university's Myaamia Center leads the revitalisation of the tribe's language through dictionaries, educational platforms and storytelling. Luxembourg students are also allowed to study at Miami University in Ohio, with scholarship and tuition waivers. The D in MUDEC belongs to one extraordinary man. John E. Dolibois, a Luxembourger born in 1918, who emigrated to the United States aged thirteen without speaking English, became an American citizen in 1941, and graduated from Miami University. As a US soldier he returned to Europe near the end of the war and became one of the interviewers of Nazi war criminals, first at Mondorf and later at the Nuremberg Trials. The moment that changed everything came on holiday in Venice, when a waiter relayed a phone call from "the President." "He thought it was the president of the university, his boss. He picked up the phone: 'Yes, this is John Dolibois.' 'Yes, sir, this is Ronald Reagan.'" Reagan appointed Dolibois US Ambassador to Luxembourg in 1982, the seed that grew into the centre bearing his name in 1988. Raymond knew him and his wife Winnie right up until his death in 2014, visiting John at his retirement home near Cincinnati, where a glass of Luxembourgish wine would loosen the stories, including the time he interviewed Hermann Göring in his cell. That bond between America and Luxembourg sits at the heart of the programme's founding philosophy, captured in three words: Study, Engage, Travel. The host family tradition was born of gratitude, with Luxembourg families opening their homes to young Americans as a way of saying thank you after the war, and out-of-class learning, from the military cemeteries to the museums of Diekirch and Ettelbruck, remains central. If there is a tension running through American higher education, it is that high tuition turns students, and their families, into clients. Raymond is candid about the pressure that creates, where nearly everyone expects an A, and about the parents who can make an educator's autonomy a daily negotiation. "We call them the helicopter parents, always watching, hovering; and the mowing parents, who try to clear every obstacle from their child's path." Across 24 years, the student has changed too. The year-long students who once crossed by boat, taking classes onboard during the week-long voyage, have vanished, replaced by shorter, faster, more individualised semesters. Cell phones keep students tethered to home, the humanities are quietly retreating, and AI is reshaping the classroom faster than anyone can plan for, a worry Raymond shares with University of Luxembourg Rector Jens Kreisel: nobody knows how to design a classroom for the next five years. What endures is the 13,000-strong alumni network that funds, mentors and champions the centre, and a successor, Stephanie, ready to carry it forward. Retirement, Lisa suggested, need not mean stopping, and Raymond half-promised a draft course on school administration by this time next year. After 24 years of planting a quiet flag for MUDEC, few would bet against him.

Let us know what you think about this episode and share it with a friend!Success can go to your head. Failure can go to your heart. And if you're building something from scratch, it's easy to let the business decide who you are.We sit down with Brett Smith, Executive Director of the Center for LIFE at Miami University (Leading the Integration of Faith and Entrepreneurship), to dig into what founders rarely say out loud: entrepreneurship is a tough, lonely sport that can amplify stress, shame, and identity swings. Brett shares what his research reveals about the “high highs and low lows” of entrepreneurial life and why a founder's identity often rises and falls right along with revenue, funding, and momentum.Then we get practical. Brett explains how a relational identity with God can act as a stabilizing counterbalance to entrepreneurial identity, affirming you in the lows and humbling you in the highs. We also unpack why success can be just as destabilizing as failure, how faith can shape decision making when the information is ambiguous, and why translating academically rigorous research into everyday language actually matters for entrepreneurs, investors, and teams.Finally, we point you to free tools through Faith Driven Entrepreneur's Research Insights and share where to learn more about the Center for LIFE, including resources on faith-driven entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship.

Key Takeaways: [:50] Co-host Ryan Piansky introduces this episode, brought to you thanks to the support of Education Partners GSK, Sanofi, Regeneron, and Takeda. Ryan introduces co-host Holly Knotowicz. [1:12] Holly introduces today's topic. It's May, and each year in May, there are several awareness observances for eosinophilic-associated diseases, including National Eosinophil Awareness Week, World Eosinophilic Diseases Day, and World EoE Day. [1:29] Throughout May, APFED is sharing stories from individuals and families living with eosinophil-associated diseases to highlight the impact of these chronic conditions. [1:38] Ryan says, Today, we'll be discussing eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). EoE is a chronic allergic inflammatory disease of the esophagus. It occurs when eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, accumulate in the esophagus in elevated numbers, causing inflammation that can make eating or swallowing difficult or uncomfortable. [1:56] Holly introduces today's guest, Dr. Phillip Arceneaux, a patient advocate living with EoE since 2019. [2:18] Phil is 35. He was born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana. He received his undergraduate degree there. He worked at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Then he worked at the University of Oregon. [2:38] Phil moved to Florida and did his Ph.D. in Mass Communication at the University of Florida. Since 2020, he has been based out of the Cincinnati area, working at Miami University of Ohio. [3:05] Phil was diagnosed with EoE in March of 2019, while finishing his degree at UF. [3:12] Phil was eating dinner with his girlfriend. He took a bite of a roast beef sandwich, and it didn't go down smoothly, it became impacted. [3:56] Phil thought he had food stuck in his windpipe. He was running around banging his chest. He calmed down and was able to get some of the food out, and he was breathing again. [4:12] Phil thought he was fine. He quickly realized he wasn't. He still had a partial impaction. He didn't know what was going on in his chest. He spent about 30 minutes moving around, coughing, and trying to get his chest to feel right. [4:44] After about an hour, Phil decided to go to the ER. His girlfriend insisted on driving him to the hospital. It was spring break, so the ER was not busy. It still took a couple of hours to be seen and treated. [5:25] The doctors assessed him. They gave him medicine to induce vomiting. About 12 hours after the initial choking, his impaction cleared. They kept him overnight and gave him an endoscopy in the morning to check his esophagus and take biopsies. [6:31] Phil was in the ER for four to six hours before anyone told him what they thought he had. Then the ER doctor told him he was 95% certain Phil had eosinophilic esophagitis. Phil had never heard of it. [7:04] The ER doctor gave Phil a rundown of EoE. He said Phil would have an endoscopy, and then he would be referred to a GI and set up for treatment. The doctor said he couldn't confirm it before the endoscopy, but he thought it was EoE. [7:31] Ryan says he's talked to people who have had months-long processes of getting their diagnosis. Phil gives all the credit to the hospital. He was fortunate that his experience was good. [7:55] Phil says that the staff at the ER and the GI specialist were so knowledgeable about the research and where things were going in this area of medicine. They were very confident about the diagnosis and treatment plan. [8:11] Dr. Arcenaux gives a shout-out to his GI. He spent well over an hour with him during his initial consult. He explained how EoE would impact him, from diet, grocery shopping, and challenges eating at restaurants, because of cross-contamination. [8:42] The GI specialist talked him through impacts on dating and dining out and how to approach social activities. [9:09] Phil's GI specialist talked to him about employers. He would need employers with health insurance that will cover the endoscopies and treatments for EoE. Phil appreciated the initial onboarding for his EoE diagnosis. [9:41] Ryan says he needs to discuss this with Phil, as he just finished his Ph.D. a few months ago, and he's looking at insurance for his new job, and how to figure out business lunches. [9:51] Ryan says Ph.D. students are so motivated by free food. As someone with EoE, that never applied to him. Ryan says shifting from normal eating habits to an EoE diet is a major shift. [10:27] Phil knows now that there were signs and symptoms, but he had no idea about them before his diagnosis. [10:33] Phil is on a special diet for his EoE. When he's not great at avoiding his trigger foods, he starts to see dysphagia symptoms in his swallowing, and he has quite a bit of regurgitation. He had been seeing that for months before this initial major food impaction and ER visit. [10:54] Phil had no idea what was going on. He just thought it was weird that he was regurgitating more than he used to. Sometimes food didn't go down well. Once or twice, he had a small aspiration event. He thought he needed to chew better. [11:11] He didn't know what those symptoms meant, and he wrote them off. None of it made sense until that diagnosis. Even then, it took a while to wrap his head around it. Years removed, he sees there were so many signs and symptoms he never processed. [11:28] Holly asks what Phil means by aspiration. He says he means water going down his windpipe, making it hard to breathe, with liquid in his lungs. Holly says that aspiration can be caused by inflammation in people who have EoE. [12:07] Holly says people with EoE can be sent for a swallow study to look at the anatomy of their swallow function. That's a subject for another episode! [12:35] Ryan says Phil noticed he was regurgitating more than normal and remarks that people with chronic illnesses don't realize that most people don't normally regurgitate at all. It's a sign that something's wrong. [13:03] The ER doctor didn't offer Phil any other diagnosis than EoE. The doctor was 95% sure he had EoE, but confirmed it with an endoscopy. [13:20] Holly asks Phil what food allergies he has. As an infant, he had an egg allergy that limited his vaccines. Now he knows his primary allergen is egg, and it led to his EoE issues. [13:51] When Phil started his Ph.D. program, he wanted to eat healthier foods. He cut out fast food, and he ate more eggs. He consumed many eggs during his Ph.D. program. A snack was scrambled eggs or something with scrambled eggs. [14:22] Phil went through a carton of 18 eggs in less than a week. He knew that when he was younger, he'd had egg sensitivity, but as an adult, he'd eaten eggs and nothing happened that registered as an issue. He thought he had outgrown it. [14:40] Phil says he had outgrown other food allergies. He assumed eggs were fine, so he adopted a heavy egg diet to increase his protein intake and be healthier. Then all these symptoms manifested. [15:00] Phil never associated the symptoms with eggs. His treatment plan is dieting and minimizing egg as much as possible. That is not easy in the United States, where everything is processed and often contains egg. [15:19] Holly says she has seen an influx of adult-onset EoE patients with a history of a dairy or egg allergy who were putting cottage cheese and eggs in everything, and all of a sudden, started having regurgitation and food getting stuck. [15:51] Phil doesn't eat scrambled eggs anymore. One slice of a cake with eggs in it will not send him to the ER. It takes a couple of days of high exposure to reach that point. He knows what he can have daily that will not impact him in the long term. [16:20] Holly and Ryan agree that it's important to know your limits, and consult with your physicians about foods. Rice is a trigger for Ryan, but if brown rice syrup is about the 20th ingredient, he can have it and be fine. If he were to eat a lot of rice, he will have issues. [17:21] Phil says he recently got married, and his wife is a health nut. She has radically changed his diet. They eat very high-protein, low-fat, and low-carb. It's been easy to manage that without eggs. They eat a lot of chicken, turkey, and fish. [17:41] Being from Louisiana, Phil says if he had to give up seafood, he doesn't know what he would do. He's a huge craft beer lover. If he had to give up gluten, he doesn't know what he would do. He can manage without eggs. [18:21] Ryan says dairy was a big trigger for him when he was younger, but now he's on dupilumab, a biologic approved for treating EoE, and that's helped him a lot. He's started to integrate whey protein and milk protein back into his diet. [18:47] Phil says once he finished with school, he graduated and lost health insurance. He didn't have a source of income or health insurance, so he declined to have dilation therapy. That's also why he deferred to dietary therapy. He removed his allergens one by one. [19:12] Phil was diagnosed in 2019, not long before the pandemic hit. He lived in a bubble for two to three years and kept to a very regimented diet. That's where he started to find his balance. [19:30] Phil travels quite a bit as a professor. He goes to international conferences. In 2022, a big annual conference opened in Paris, France. He was living his best life, but didn't register that every pastry he put in his mouth had an egg wash. [20:14] Phil was there for seven days. On the sixth night, he was eating a tough, dry steak. He had a severe food impaction, worse than the one in 2019. He was with colleagues who didn't know what he had. [20:40] He paid, excused himself, went to his hotel room, and tried to vomit it up. He couldn't do it. He called an Uber and went to the nearest ER. He had an emergency endoscopy. It's not easy to navigate another country's healthcare system, but he did it. [21:14] When Phil returned from the conference, he said he needed to get serious. He had a GP, but he needed a GI specialist. Cincinnati has multiple great health systems, so he got a GI specialist and started down a path of treatment. [21:38] He told his GI specialist, this has happened to me, and I never want it to happen again. What can we do? He started with proton pump inhibitors. No effect. He doesn't have acid reflux. Next was the topical corticosteroid, swallowed budesonide. [22:22] Phil used a pump for asthma, but this was to swallow. After two weeks, he developed a bad case of thrush that took a long time to get rid of. He had never had thrush and didn't know what it was. It took a couple of rounds of treatment to clear up. [22:43] After that, in 2022, he moved to dupilumab. The FDA had just approved it as a course of treatment for EoE. Phil did not do well with the treatment, and has since gone back to back to a diet-only course of treatment. [24:13] Phil says the dupilumab shots did help. He had been having reactions to some foods for years, and after a couple of weeks on the shot, those reactions went away, and he could eat the foods, like avocado and watermelon, again. [24:39] The dupilumab did him some good, as he returned to some foods that he loved, but it wasn't a long-term solution for him. [24:50] Ryan shares that he started his Ph.D. in 2019. He felt great, he had no symptoms, and he was following up with his GI every year. With no symptoms, he wasn't scoped until 2025 for insurance reasons. His scope was horrible. [25:11] His symptoms were in remission, but his esophagus looked terrible. He had to switch up his treatment plan. Ryan advises all listeners to follow up with their GI. [26:14] Phil says he thinks he's in a very lucky position that what his allergen is, what his dietary preferences are, and how he manifests symptoms, do not significantly impact his day-to-day. [26:36] Phil's doctor in 2019 had advised him that EoE would impact his work and his business lunches. With the treatment plan he has opted into, it doesn't impact his day-to-day. He says he is very lucky, compared to what other patients deal with. [26:50] It hasn't impacted his day-to-day, but the problem is, when it does impact something. It's very big, very noticeable, and it's in front of everyone. He recalls his Paris episode. He's very vocal about it. That's why he reached out to APFED. [27:13] Phil likes talking about it. The only way we know more about it is when we talk about it and share our stories. His colleagues all know he has EoE. They don't understand exactly what it is, but when he's having trouble, they understand. [27:44] When Phil has an issue, he doesn't tell anyone; he just gets up and walks out of the room and paces the hall, doing his stretches. [28:09] Largely, it's just letting people know he has EoE. They recognize that he manages it himself, and he's OK. [28:24] Phil says figuring out your medical treatment plan and balancing your quality of life is different from having a disease that can eventually be treated. [28:51] This is something you have to deal with the rest of your life. That's going to fundamentally change things, not drastically, but in fairly subtle ways. [29:18] No matter how comfortable you get, you have to be diligent. You always have to be cognizant of your symptoms and stay on whatever your treatment plan is, whether that's dieting or medication. This will not go away. You're always going to have it. [29:37] Phil says you have to frame it as a lifelong marathon and find a very sustainable pace. That's where the quality of life is so important. We're human beings. We have to enjoy life. Settle in for the long haul. That's how it will be sustainable. [30:18] Ryan thinks self-advocacy is important, whether talking with doctors, co-workers, or friends. Take care of yourself and make sure you're doing OK. Make sure you're putting yourself in a position to stay healthy, especially while balancing a career. [30:45] Ryan says those are great things for our listeners to keep in mind. [30:49] For our listeners who do want to learn more about eosinophilic disorders, we encourage you to visit APFED.org and check out the links in the show notes below.

Highlights include: How VA employee Maude DeVictor helped expose the effects of Agent Orange on returning veterans; Pilot Fred Cherry's flight “from segregation to integration” before spending five years as the first African American prisoner of war in Vietnam; Art Gregg's distinguished career in military logistics, culminating in renaming Fort Robert E. Lee in his honor (before that fort was again renamed under the Trump administration); The power of monuments and memorials to shape public memory and inspire future generations, as in the memorial to Henry O. Flipper, the first Black graduate of West Point, in former secretary of defense Lloyd Austin's hometown; Wil's soon-to-be legendary rendition of Marvin Gaye's antiwar masterpiece, “What's Going On.” Guest: Wil Haygood is the author of ten nonfiction books, many of which have won literary awards. His book, The Butler, was made into a film directed by Lee Daniels. Haygood has been a correspondent for the Washington Post and The Boston Globe, where he was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. In 2022, he received the Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke Distinguished Achievement Award from the Dayton Peace Prize Foundation. A Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow, Haygood is currently Boadway Visiting Distinguished Scholar at Miami University in Ohio and has recently been elected to the prestigious American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Host: Michael Stauch is an associate professor of history at the University of Toledo and the author of Wildcat of the Streets: Detroit in the Age of Community Policing, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2025.

In "Reducing TCO Through Renewable Natural Gas" Joe Lynch and Scott Brinner, Vice President of RNG Solutions at Nopetro Energy, discuss how fleets can cut emissions while boosting their bottom line. Efficiency meets sustainability. About Scott Brinner Scott Brinner serves as the executive Vice President of RNG Solutions at Nopetro Energy, where he is responsible for developing and executing the division's strategy, business development and expansion. His prior experiences include working as a CPA with Ernst & Young, executive vice president, Corporate Development & Strategic Accounts, at OmniTRAX, and as an investment banker with Wells Fargo and Raymond James, where he advised companies in transportation/logistics and waste/environmental services. Scott has an MBA from the University of Chicago and received both a BS, in Accounting and Finance, as well as a Master's in Accountancy, from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. About Nopetro Energy Founded in 2008, Nopetro Energy is a vertically integrated energy leader focused on the production and distribution of renewable natural gas (RNG) for heavy duty transportation and industrial consumption. The company provides end-to-end energy and transportation management solutions, helping government agencies and companies strengthen fuel independence and create lasting economic value. Nopetro designs, builds, finances and operates both renewable natural gas production plants and fueling stations, allowing fleets to transition to this substantially less expensive, cleaner and domestically produced alternative to diesel. Visit www.nopetroenergy.com to discover how Nopetro is leading the way to a more energy-independent and financially predictable future. Key Takeaways: Reducing TCO Through Renewable Natural Gas In "Reducing TCO Through Renewable Natural Gas" Joe Lynch and Scott Brinner, Vice President of RNG Solutions at Nopetro Energy, discuss how fleets can cut emissions while boosting their bottom line. Efficiency meets sustainability. RNG as a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Driver: Unlike many "green" technologies that require a financial sacrifice, transitioning to Renewable Natural Gas can actually lower the total cost of ownership. While the trucks may have a higher upfront cost (roughly $70k–$90k more), the significantly lower and more stable fuel prices can lead to a payback period of just 2 to 3 years. The "Closed Ecosystem" of RNG: RNG is a vertically integrated solution that captures organic waste from landfills, dairy farms, and wastewater treatment plants. By cleaning these molecules and putting them into the pipeline, Nopetro turns a potential environmental pollutant into a high-performance fuel that can achieve zero or even negative carbon emissions. The Game-Changing Cummins X15N Engine: Historically, the trucking industry lacked an engine with the power and torque required for heavy-duty, 80,000+ lb loads. The new 15-liter natural gas engine from Cummins is a "workhorse" that matches diesel performance, range, and horsepower, removing the primary technical barrier for over-the-road fleets. Fuel Price Stability vs. Diesel Volatility: Because RNG is domestic and tied to stable natural gas indices rather than global oil markets, it protects fleets from "spikes" caused by international conflict. This allows for predictable budgeting and even the potential for long-term, fixed-price fuel contracts—unheard of in the diesel world. Proven Success in Adjacent Sectors: While OTR trucking is in the early stages of adoption, the waste management and transit industries have already proven the model. Nearly 50% of waste refuse trucks and 40% of transit buses in the U.S. now run on natural gas because it is more economical and easier to maintain. Infrastructure and "Behind the Fence" Solutions: Fleet owners don't have to wait for a public station on every corner. Nopetro specializes in building dedicated fueling stations directly at or near truck terminals. This "hub and spoke" approach ensures that dedicated routes have reliable, high-pressure fueling exactly where they need it. Sustainability as a Competitive Edge: Large shippers (the Scope 1 and Scope 3 emission-focused companies) are increasingly looking for "greener" partners. Trucking companies using RNG can offer a cleaner solution at the same or lower price than diesel, often securing longer-term contracts (5–7 years) by providing the carbon-neutral results that customers demand.

Travis Steele has quickly transformed Miami University men's basketball into one of the most talked-about programs in the country. In just his tenure with the RedHawks, Steele led the program to its best season in school history, finishing an incredible 32–2 and earning an NCAA Tournament victory. Miami (OH) captured national attention with an undefeated regular season, forcing its way into the spotlight as one of the most dominant mid-major teams in the nation. At the center of that rise has been Steele's offensive system, which has turned the RedHawks into one of the most explosive teams in the country. Miami (OH) finished fourth nationally in scoring offense, driven by a modern, fast-paced approach with a heavy emphasis on three-point shooting and spacing. Their ability to stretch defenses, create open looks, and consistently knock down shots from deep made them incredibly difficult to guard and a nightmare matchup for opponents all season long. Even with all that success, Miami (OH) remained at the center of national debate due to its strength of schedule, with critics questioning their résumé and tournament worthiness. Steele's group embraced the conversation and used it as fuel, proving people wrong with every win and ultimately validating themselves on the NCAA Tournament stage. With a new arena project underway and momentum at an all-time high, the RedHawks are not just a one-year story—they're building toward a future where this level of success becomes the standard.
We're kicking this one off with a milestone, 208 episodes of The Mismatched Podcast. And somehow, after all this time, the girls are still proving they couldn't be more different. Kristin sets the tone this week with next-level dedication, skipping a trip to Monterey with her husband to attend an Ohio 4-H Foundation board meeting. That's commitment. Olivia takes on Miami University during a college tour, which turns into a very real (and very funny) conversation about how college kids communicate these days. Senior assassin is still going strong, and this week's story? Absolutely epic. A past podcast guest and fruit farm employee pulls off a legendary target takedown, you're going to want to hear how it all went down. And then… the debate you didn't know you needed: Bathroom napkins. Acceptable or absolutely not? The girls go back and forth, and you'll need to decide where you stand. Also, in a moment no one saw coming, Kristin casually tells Danna she wasn't exactly her first choice for a podcast co-host. Throw in a limo party bus, a wine night, and a must-watch moment from Herman Story Wines (yes, there's a video and yes, Danna steals it), plus the ultimate proof that when the kids are gone these two are total opposites, Danna throws a party, and Kristin… just misses having the kids home and you've got an episode that is peak mismatched.

Kentucky Chronicles: A Podcast of the Kentucky Historical Society
Just four months before the end of the American Revolution, a Frenchman named John Savary arrived in Boston. Speaking no English, Savary eventually made his way to Millersburg, Kentucky, where he operated a general store and acquired huge tracts of land. He later befriended Robert Alexander, owner of the famed Woodburn Farm in Woodford County. Savary and Alexander exchanged some eighty letters, most of them in French, where they discussed issues ranging from politics to real estate, friendship, and the state of American democracy. These letters, housed within the Alexander Family Papers at the Kentucky Historical Society, contain a wealth of information on the challenges of making one's way in early Kentucky. Stream our discussion with a historian who has transcribed and translated Savary's letters. Dr. Randolph Runyon is the Professor Emeritus at Miami University of Ohio, and since 2019 a resident of Bourbon County. He is the author of eighteen books. Eight are on Kentucky history and literature; the rest consist of French literary studies and humoristic verse. His most recent is A Frenchman in Early Kentucky: The Life and Letters of John Savary, who settled in Millersburg in 1795. Other subjects include the Mentelles of Lexington, Delia Webster and Lewis Hayden, the Reverend Elisha Green, Sallie Ward, and Robert Penn Warren. Hosted by Dr. Allen A. Fletcher, associate editor of The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society and coordinator of our Research Fellows program, which brings in researchers from across the world to conduct research in the rich archival holdings of the Kentucky Historical Society. https://history.ky.gov/khs-for-me/for-researchers/research-fellowships Kentucky Chronicles is presented by the Kentucky Historical Society, with support from the Kentucky Historical Society Foundation. https://history.ky.gov/about/khs-foundation This episode was recorded and produced by Gregory Hardison, with support and guidance from Dr. Stephanie Lang.

Things Discussed: Howard preview: Their center isn't a center, but he's mini-Yaxel. Takeaways from BTT: Brian/Craig/Sam: The Purdue game was just a ref show—Oscar Cluff is a a) Buffalo, b) Oaf, c) deliberately running guys over and cheating on screens. Michigan doesn't have enough galoots. Seth: I've moved on. Biggest concern is Michigan vs Wisconsin: bringing too much help to the rim when we have some five-out teams (Saint Louis!) in the first weekend. Georgia and St. Louis. Georgia is soft—they have a shot-blocker and a lot of guards who can get their own points. Robbie Avila looks like Seth Fisher—he looks like a gumnut out there—but he's very skilled, especially at setting his guys up. I really like their four, Amari McCottry. Yaxel, take over man! Lots of opportunities to get him vs a mouse in the house and they didn't make the read. Michigan seemed to want to use Rez in that spot instead and he didn't have an inspired week. Pickin upsets: UNI over St. John's? Can slow the game to a grind. Kinda think NDSU? They've rediscovered the lost art of the defensive-invariant floater—not saying I am picking a 14 over a 3 but that's the one. Craig: Anyone notice they got Hurley, Izzo, and Cronin all in the same corner of the bracket? Poor Johnny Dawkins: what did I do to end up with these guys? Going further than their seed: Arkansas and Acuff. He's going to be a lottery pick, Arkansas paid for him and it was worth it. Calipari teams are kids at the start of the year (when they played MSU) but by the Tourney they're not freshmen anymore. OT: [BREAKING NEWS: Cade Cunningham will be out 8-10 weeks with a collapsed lung.] Billy Donlon in at EMU. Why did he leave Michigan? Not saying. In break: Does Michigan get an NIL discount? Champions Circle doesn't want to say so but yeah, when the money is close it's about lifestyle. Texas should get a Tournament ban for getting in last year and this year. Their best nonconference win: NC State. Bubble was terrible this year but that doesn't mean a mid SEC team should get in. Miami University is the perfect Tournament invite: They understood the assignment. Whom to invite instead of bubbly major conference teams? Mid-majors who won their conferences. Illinois in the Final Four? Yeah, they've got size and Wagler can shoot them to Indy (I had Nebraska taking out Florida). Houston takes such ugly shots, Illinois will make them uglier. Who can expose their frontcourt? Well, Florida.
The bracket is here and it's gorgeous. Let's run through the field and talk about these games. Matt Norlander is ready to go, Hartzell is back from Nashville and even though his brain is more scrambled than usual, we're ranking all kinds of things on this bracket. Best 8/9 game? Best announcer pairings? Most likely 12-over-5? Who got the best - and worst - geographical pod assignments? So much to cover in today's show, and honestly the fellas could have kept going. What did Norlander think of Miami University getting shipped to Dayton? How many head coaches got fooled by the internet and the fake tip times? What's the most popular upset pick that nobody is talking about? So many questions but we're here for answers, folks! And - in a CSN exclusive - the guys run through the guidebook on how to properly write team names onto your bracket (because nobody spells out Wisconsin in full, we're not psychopaths here). An absolute banger of an episode, and frankly the only NCAA Tournament preview show worth listening to.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
