Podcasts about missed opportunities

Conversations on Groong - August 16, 2025In this episode of Conversations on Groong, we speak with analyst Hamid Bahrami about Iran's shifting role in the South Caucasus following the White House meeting between Trump, Pashinyan, and Aliyev that unveiled the TRIPP corridor, also known as the Trump Route. We examine how the project threatens to bypass and encircle Iran, potentially cutting it off from Russia and the Black Sea, while serving broader US and Israeli strategic aims. The discussion explores Iran's decades of passivity in the region, its missed opportunities, and the wake-up call of the 44-day war, before turning to how Tehran might now defend its red lines through deeper cooperation with Russia, China, and Armenia. Topics:TRIPP Corridor & US InvolvementUS-Israel Strategy & War RisksIran's Missed Opportunities & ShiftsFuture of Iran–Armenia RelationsHamid Bahrami's article published by the Institute for Iran and Eurasia Studies (IRAS) in Iran: https://www.iras.ir/%D8%B2%D9%86%DA%AF%D8%B2%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%8C-%D9%86%D9%82%D8%B7%D9%87-%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%81%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%AF%D8%B1-%D9%82%D9%81%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D8%B5%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%AA%D8%A8%D9%86 Guest: Hamid BahramiHosts:Hovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 461 | Recorded: August 13, 2025SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/461VIDEO: https://youtu.be/lTYVEAuZ8fc#ArmenianNews #Iran #Armenia #TRIPP #ZangezurCorridorSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

Introduction: Host Michael Rand looks at the Star Tribune's recent story on declining Target Field attendance and picks out three moments that really cost the Twins. The Yankees, of course, have played a role in their misery -- and continued to do so on Monday. 12:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Emily Leiker joins Rand to talk about all the big moments from Saturday's preseason opener and to set up a big week ahead for quarterback J.J. McCarthy. 31:00: A very veteran addition for the Wild?

If a $595 annual fee premium credit card hits the market, should it automatically earn a place in your wallet? In this episode, I take a detailed look at Citi's newest addition to the transferable points landscape: the Citi Strata Elite Card. From its standard 80,000-point welcome bonus to the elevated 100,000-point offer available through certain channels, we'll walk through exactly what you get when you open this card. You'll hear how its bonus categories actually work, why the time-restricted “Citi Nights” dining perk is so unusual, and what makes its non-category 1.5x earning stand out—or not—compared to other cards. We'll also dig into the real value of the credits, including the split Blacklane credit, the merchant-specific Splurge credit, and the 2-night minimum hotel portal credit—plus where this card shines with American Airlines lounge passes and where it falls flat next to Citi's own mid-tier options and the retired Prestige card. Before you sign up for the welcome bonus, I'll share the points expiration rules that can cost you big if you cancel after a year, and what I think this launch reveals about the next wave of premium rewards cards.

✨ Episode Summary:Welcome back to the second installment of our original Star Wars trilogy of episodes! This time, Scott and Candice are joined once again by Jackson and Andy to dive lightsaber-first into all things Galaxy's Edge at Disney Parks.From motion sickness on Smuggler's Run to disappointing breakfasts and mysterious cast member detours that derailed a moment in the Millennium Falcon, the crew shares their weirdest, most disappointing, and most magical moments from their trips to Batuu. We also confront the fuzzy tauntauns, DJ Rex's distracting beats, and—let's be honest—our own podcasting mishaps along the way. (Yes, there was a recording snafu. Yes, we made a joke about it.)The gang explores whether Disney hit the mark with Batuu's storyline, the timeline focus on the sequel trilogy, and whether the land should have embraced the nostalgic might of Vader, Leia, and the OG stormtroopers. Plus, they dream up some incredible additions that Disney really should consider—including a character dining experience on Cloud City with a surprise visit from Darth Vader himself.

Is your garage more of a storage locker than a place to park your car? In this episode of https://FixItRadio.com, John Rush launches a timely deep dive into the cluttered corners of our homes—starting with the garage. Why do we hold onto broken mounts, old paint cans, or spare parts we haven't touched in years? Could all that “just-in-case” inventory be costing you space, money, and even security? As John and Larry Unger dig deeper, they reveal just how easily clutter can turn into chaos. Are you unknowingly creating the perfect rodent playground? From labeling and dating items to utilizing $5 clear plastic bins and QR-coded storage systems, the episode offers modern tools and clever hacks to keep your space rodent-proof and organized. It's not just about tidying up—it's about making your garage functional again. Then comes a jaw-dropping twist: a listener calls in to reveal that mice stashed 25 pounds of cat food inside a drainage tube—right under the noses of the barn cats! The story sparks a bigger conversation with Jeff about how clutter, old tools, and outdated equipment might be less treasure and more trash. Are your corded drills, air nailers, and vintage gear now obsolete in a cordless world? From nostalgic holdouts to cutting-edge upgrades, this episode is part how-to, part reality check—and it just might inspire you to take back your space.

While it's easy to pick on concierge medicine practice for its highly visible moniker, small medical offices outside of this niche space are often more guilty of this than concierge practices. Here are ten compelling reasons why this marketing strategy is flawed:   By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today   While concierge medicine aims to deliver exceptional care, making the physician the product can lead to significant setbacks. To succeed, practices must prioritize relationships, foster teamwork, and emphasize patient outcomes. By adopting a balanced approach that values both the physician's expertise and the contributions of the broader healthcare team, concierge medicine can achieve lasting success and genuinely serve its patients.   1. Unrealistic Expectations Could Lead to Burnout   Prioritizing the doctor as a product places immense pressure on physicians, contributing to burnout—affecting nearly 42% of doctors (Maslach et al., 2018). A physician who is overwhelmed can't provide the high-quality care patients deserve. On the one hand, it doesn't take long to resent the relentless pressure and unrealistic expectations. On the other hand, it's far too easy to get addicted to them – to like being at the center too much. Way too much.   2. Erosion of Personal Connection Reducing physicians to products undermines essential personal relationships crucial to healthcare. Strong patient-physician bonds foster trust and lead to better health outcomes (Hojat et al., 2011). If you were no longer working and kicked out of the practice tomorrow, what would be left of your practice -- would it and could it survive without you?!   3. Increased Competition for Patient Loyalty This model promotes a focus on attracting new patients rather than nurturing existing ones, jeopardizing long-term relationships. Personalized care strategies tend to yield better retention than mere marketing tactics.   4. Unsustainable Business Models Investing heavily in the physician's image rather than improving patient care systems often leads to unstable business practices (MGMA, 2020).   5. Unrealistic Patient Expectations Marketing healthcare around a physician's capabilities can foster unrealistic expectations, leaving patients disappointed when their complex needs aren't met. If you were no longer working and kicked out of the practice tomorrow, what would be left of your practice -- would it and could it survive without you?!   6. Neglect of Team-Based Care Emphasizing the individual physician sidelines the contributions of the healthcare team, compromising overall quality. Effective care requires collaboration among all team members (McGlynn et al., 2003).   7. Misguided Investment in Technology When the focus is on the physician, practices may overlook necessary investments in technology that enhance care and efficiency, ultimately affecting patient satisfaction (Albrecht et al., 2019). On the one hand, it doesn't take long to resent the relentless pressure and unrealistic expectations. On the other hand, it's far too easy to get addicted to them – to like being at the center too much. Way too much.   8. Diminished Patient Diversity An overemphasis on a single physician can narrow patient demographics, reducing the practice's accessibility and diversity, which are crucial for enriching healthcare.   9. Revenue Over Care Focus When financial gain becomes the primary driver, patient satisfaction often declines. Research underscores that patient-centric practices yield better health outcomes and greater cost-effectiveness (National Academy of Medicine, 2019).   10. Missed Opportunities for Continuous Improvement Focusing solely on the doctor can stifle innovation. Continuous education and system enhancements are vital in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.   Disclaimers: THIS SITE AND ANY OTHER CMT MANAGED OR OWNED WEB PROPERTY by Concierge Medicine Today, LLC (herein CMT) DOES NOT OFFER MEDICAL, FINANCIAL, LEGAL, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

Essengue's defensive prowess and potential fit alongside Matas Buzelis intrigue, while Ulbricht draws comparisons to Domantas Sabonis. Questions linger about the team's ability to execute their vision and develop raw talent. Will the Bulls' draft strategy pay off, or have they missed opportunities to address immediate needs? Tune in for an in-depth analysis of the Bulls' draft decisions and their implications for the future.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Chicago CWRT Meeting June 2025 David Power on "The Atlanta Campaign: Missed OpportunitiesFor more info: www.chicagocwrt.org I've got Joe Johnston Dead!" Or so Sherman is said to have exclaimed upon hearing that James B. McPherson had seized Resaca. Famously, that turned out not to be true, one of the great "lost opportunities" of the entire war. But in fact, there were other such turning points in the first month of the campaign, each perhaps more significant than Resaca. On May 16, Sherman's armies stumbled crossing the Oostenaula River, offering Johnston a chance to damage one or more of the Federal corps; and at Dallas, McPherson hesitated again when facing just a single small Confederate division. What would have happened if either of these moments had gone differently? David A. Powell is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute (1983) with a BA in history. He has published numerous articles in various magazines, and more than fifteen historical simulations of different battles. For many years, David's focus was on the epic battle of Chickamauga, and he is nationally recognized for his tours of that important battlefield. The result of that study are five books, the final volume being The 2 Chickamauga Campaign: Barren Victory (2016). Subsequently, he has turned to the study of the battles for Chattanooga. Battle Above the Clouds, concerning the Battle of Lookout Mountain, was published in June of 2017. Decisions at Chickamauga followed in 2018. Two more books, "All Hell Can't Stop Them" (on Missionary Ridge) and Union Command Failure in the Shenandoah Valley both appeared in 2019. More recently The Tullahoma Campaign (co-authored with Eric Wittenberg) and Grant at Chattanooga, were published in 2020. Decisions at Shiloh appeared in 2023, and he is now hard at work on The Atlanta Campaign, a projected multi-volume study. Volume One of Atlanta appeared in July, 2024, with Volume Two to follow in 2025. David, his wife Anne, and their trio of bloodhounds live and work in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.

In Big Law, doing what is asked of you is expected—what sets you apart is how you show up beyond that. In this episode, I talk about the silent missteps that hold many associates back, from treating assignments as isolated tasks to assuming visibility and feedback will come without asking. I walk through real examples of how missed context, lack of sufficient follow-through, and playing it safe can quietly stall your career, even if you're billing plenty of hours and meeting expectations on paper. For lawyers early in their Big Law career, who want to move from competent to highly valued, this episode breaks down what it really takes to build momentum, reputation, and trust with senior lawyers. I share exactly what I looked for when I managed associates, and the small signals that showed me who is thinking like a future partner. If you've ever wondered whether doing the work and getting good evaluations is enough, this conversation will give you a more indepth view of how top associates stand out—and how to make sure you're one of them. At a Glance: 00:00 Why lawyering well isn't enough in Big Law 01:20 The mistake of keeping your head down and assuming no feedback is good feedback 02:10 Assignments are not tasks, they're tests of judgment and strategic thinking 03:02 Why doing only what is asked can fail to advance your career 04:04 When failing to raise key issues can suggest you lack judgment 05:09 Why thoughtful questions show strength, not weakness 06:02 The danger of treating assignments like schoolwork with a finish line 06:48 How silence makes you forgettable and how to avoid it 07:09 What asking for feedback really signals to partners 07:51 The growth that only happens when you reach beyond your comfort zone 08:49 Specific examples: secondments, cross-border teams, and fast-moving deals 09:37 The importance of internal visibility beyond billables 10:16 Why Big Law isn't built for associates who operate in isolation 10:44 How disengagement quietly damages your reputation over time 11:13 Why initiative matters more than raw competence 11:40 Final thoughts: what Big Law actually rewards Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!
