Dr. Nicole Alioto, Social Psychologists, looks at what makes school districts transformative, changing the lives of the students and improving our culture. Dr. Alioto, educator, data expert and author of You Can Measure Anything!: An Educator's Guide to Measuring What Is Hard to Define (May 2026), argues that the problem is not a lack of data. It's that schools often try to measure these outcomes before clearly defining what they actually mean. She explains: "Morale" means something different to a first-year teacher, a veteran educator, and a building principal. "Trust" looks different in a high-performing school and one in crisis. Until a district builds a shared definition — one developed with input from the people the data are supposed to represent — any survey it runs is measuring something. Just not necessarily the thing it thinks it's measuring.Enjoy this insightful conversation on a truly significant opportunity to shape our future generations.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

What happens when you put a bad apple next to a perfectly good one? It doesn't take long to find out — and the same principle applies to your team.In this episode, Elite Business Advisors founder Chris Moore breaks down the "Bad Apple Theory" and why protecting your crew, your culture, and your rock stars is one of the most important things you can do as you head into busy season. One toxic, negative, or underperforming employee doesn't just drag themselves down — they can quietly rot the whole bunch.Chris covers why the worst business decisions get made in moments of desperation, and why keeping someone around simply because you feel like you "need" them is a strategy that almost always backfires. He shares a practical framework for how to handle bad apples the right way — from proper HR documentation and write-ups to employment agreements and employee handbooks — so that when it's time to act, you're protected and prepared.The hard truth? No client has ever regretted letting the bad apple go. Productivity goes up. Morale goes up. And your best people — the ones you actually depend on — finally get to thrive.If you're a painting contractor managing a crew this season, this episode is a timely reminder: don't let one person's attitude or performance undermine everything you've worked to build.Topics covered:· Why bad apples spread — and how fast it happens· The real cost of keeping underperformers out of desperation· How to isolate a problem employee and evaluate whether they can be salvaged· Building a termination plan backed by documentation· Protecting your culture, your reputation, and your rock starsInterested in seeing how we help our clients?

In questa puntata spacchettiamo Micron (MU) come una radiografia: è il titolo che ha messo KO persino Nvidia, saltando la staccionata dei mitici 1.000$ ad azione. Boom! La vecchia idea che la “memoria” fosse solo una commodity ciclica—tipo farina o zucchero—ormai è da lupanare dei ricordi. Fine. E sai perché, ciccino? L'architettura HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) ha catapultato Micron a essere il casello obbligatorio dell'AI mondiale. Cioè: puoi avere mille super-GPU assetate, ma senza questi mattoni 3D di silicio… stai fermo al telepass. Senza Micron, l'intelligenza artificiale la accendi ma non corre. E ora la domanda che si fanno TUTTI: “Sì, ma dopo i 1.000$, rischiamo di prenderci la batosta dei massimi storici?” Qui entra in campo la modalità YODA, la Forza scorre potente. Andiamo di Turbo Certificate: vuoi saltare sul razzo e amplificare i movimenti di Micron? Usando la leva e lo stop loss automatico (il famoso livello di Knock-Out), provi gusto senza rischiare di bruciarti tutte le piume nelle turbolenze dei prezzi pazzi! Morale: episodio che è un mix tra Jedi della finanza e meccanici di Formula 1 del silicio. Apri la mente, ascolta bene e non farti trovare impreparato! Perché qui, ciccino, la corsa è da triliardo… e i freni, se non sai usarli, finiscono che diventi “polvere di Silicon Valley”!
La "liberté responsable", horizon inaccessible dans notre monde si complexe ? Et si la foi chrétienne nous donnait au contraire des ressources immenses pour grandir dans la liberté des fils et filles de Dieu ? C'est tout le propos de Nathalie Gueguen qui relit pour nous cette question à l'école du Pape François qui a proposé des angles novateurs sur ce sujet.

"Every step of this album led here. Not to perfection, but to peace."In the final installment of our breakdown of Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, we reach the destination Kendrick has been building toward from the very beginning.This episode explores the album's most personal and emotional moments as Kendrick confronts generational trauma, takes accountability for his actions, and ultimately chooses healing over expectation.We break down:The difference between understanding trauma and actively healing from itHow pain and silence can be passed down through generationsWhy accountability is necessary for growthThe importance of challenging what we've been taughtKendrick's decision to reject the savior role and choose himselfFrom the hard truths of Auntie Diaries, to the accountability of Mr. Morale, to the emotional weight of Mother I Sober, this episode follows Kendrick through the deepest parts of his healing journey before arriving at the album's final revelation.By the time we reach Mirror, the message becomes clear:You can't save everyone if you're losing yourself.This isn't just the end of the album—it's the completion of a journey from grief, guilt, and expectation to self-acceptance, freedom, and peace.Sometimes healing means choosing yourself.
Dans cet échange, Jérôme Colombain et Bruno Guglielminetti reviennent sur plusieurs enjeux marquants de l'actualité numérique. Ils discutent de la première encyclique du pape consacrée à l'intelligence artificielle, qui appelle à une réflexion éthique sur le pouvoir des algorithmes, la concentration des données et l'usage militaire de l'IA. L'entretien aborde aussi les retombées économiques de la révolution des semi-conducteurs chez Samsung, les nouvelles possibilités offertes par Alexa Plus, ainsi que l'arrivée d'agents IA capables de gérer des investissements financiers de façon autonome. Enfin, les deux journalistes analysent les nouvelles stratégies de monétisation de Meta et s'interrogent sur les impacts sociaux, économiques et culturels d'une intelligence artificielle qui prend une place grandissante dans nos vies quotidiennes.

L'encyclique de Léon XIV replace l'IA dans un cadre moral • Samsung redistribue les gains de la ruée vers les puces • Alexa+ arrive en français avec une IA plus conversationnelle • Robinhood ouvre la porte au trading par agents IA • Meta teste la bascule payante de ses plateformesAvec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)================L'IA vue par le VaticanNous revenons sur Magnifica humanitas, la première encyclique de Léon XIV consacrée à la protection de la personne humaine à l'ère de l'intelligence artificielle. Le texte, présenté au Vatican comme un appel à « désarmer » l'IA, replace les enjeux de désinformation, d'armes autonomes, de concentration des données et de pouvoir technologique dans une perspective comparable à celle de la révolution industrielle.Entre éthique, influence et stratégie des géants de l'IAOn évoque aussi les coulisses politiques et industrielles autour du Vatican, avec les démarches de la Silicon Valley et la rencontre mentionnée entre Yoshua Bengio et le pape. Le rôle d'Anthropic est discuté à travers son image d'acteur “responsable”, mais aussi son positionnement stratégique, notamment dans les débats sur les usages militaires de Claude.Samsung paie le prix de la paix socialeDirection la Corée du Sud, où les salariés de Samsung dans les semi-conducteurs obtiennent un accord historique après la menace d'une grève massive. La redistribution d'une partie des profits liés à l'explosion de la demande en puces IA pourrait représenter des primes très élevées pour les employés concernés, illustrant la valeur stratégique extrême de cette industrie.Alexa+ parle françaisNous racontons les premiers essais d'Alexa+, la nouvelle génération de l'assistant vocal d'Amazon dopée à l'IA générative. Plus conversationnelle, localisée culturellement et compatible avec de nombreux appareils Echo récents, elle promet d'aller au-delà des commandes basiques, avec des services tiers et une interaction plus naturelle ; Monde Numérique lui consacre aussi un épisode dédié.La version québécoise d'Alexa+ se fait attendreBruno apporte l'angle canadien : au Québec, l'enjeu ne sera pas seulement de parler français, mais de parler le bon français, avec les références, les expressions et les usages locaux. L'arrivée éventuelle d'Alexa+ au Canada pourrait être facilitée par l'écosystème Amazon Prime, si le service est proposé aux abonnés.Robinhood confie la Bourse aux agents IANous débattons de la fonction “Agentic Trading” de Robinhood, qui permet à des agents IA connectés via des plateformes comme Claude ou Cursor d'analyser un portefeuille et de passer des ordres dans un compte dédié. La discussion porte sur la confiance, la validation humaine et les risques d'un marché où des machines pourraient agir directement au nom des particuliers.Quand une IA gère un caféL'exemple du café suédois piloté par une IA sert de contrepoint concret aux promesses des agents autonomes. Dans un sujet récent de Monde Numérique, l'expérience montre que les limites de mémoire et de cohérence à long terme peuvent conduire à des décisions absurdes, même dans une activité simple comme la gestion d'un commerce.Meta prépare ses abonnementsNous analysons la stratégie de Meta autour de Facebook+, Instagram+, WhatsApp+ et de futures offres liées à Meta AI. Derrière quelques options de personnalisation, on voit surtout se dessiner une nouvelle étape du numérique : après l'ère du gratuit financé par la publicité, les plateformes cherchent des revenus récurrents pour soutenir leurs investissements massifs dans l'IA.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

The Trump Administration has made little secret of its desire to dismantle the Federal Emergency Management Agency and give states the responsibility to respond to all manner of natural disasters on their own. FEMA has endured tremendous internal strife over leadership, and reports have suggested its mission has been compromised by partisan decision-making: President Trump—the sole arbiter of who ultimately gets FEMA relief—has rejected aid for Democratic-led states at the highest rate in the agency's history. This has led to accusations of emergency aid being used as a “political cudgel,” and has had a chilling effect on some of the rank-and-file staff at the agency. The New Yorker Radio Hour's Adam Howard speaks to a longtime employee of FEMA about what's going on behind the scenes, and whether it could have a negative impact on the agency's ability to respond to the next emergency. The subject of this interview is currently working for FEMA, a federal agency, and he asked to remain anonymous. His voice has been digitally regenerated for the audio of this interview.

Peter Mauch explains that during the 1930s, the Japanese army split into the "Imperial Way" and "Control" factions. The Imperial Way prioritized morale and the Emperor, while Tojo's Control faction advocated for "total war" preparation involving all state resources. This rivalry turned murderous, culminating in assassinations and coup attempts against the civilian government. (10/16)1942

Elbridge Colby explains that the binding strategy addresses the psychological aspect of war by preparing for the resolve and morale required for a larger conflict. It aims to force China into a dilemma: accept the status quo or take actions that inevitably catalyze the coalition's collective resolve. By integrating the defense of allies like Japan and Australia, the U.S. ensures that a Chinese move against Taiwan precipitates a wider war China would likely lose. This strategy leverages Thumos, or spiritedness, to ensure that Chinese aggression triggers a "don't tread on me" reaction from nationalistic regional powers. (7/8)SEPTEMBER 1932

Together, they touch on the following: Who's responsible How to own your morale Suggestions for jumpstarting positivity Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today we are bringing you something so special. I am so excited because this is one of our most popular episodes from the archives. Whether you're hearing this for the first time or catching it again, I am so excited because it's jam packed with a ton of takeaways that you can start using right now in your practice. We have released thousands, literally thousands of episodes. And I wanted to start bringing a few of these amazing episodes back for you. So I hope you enjoy. And as always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time. on the Dental A Team podcast. The Dental A Team (00:32) and you guys, I'm so excited for Consultant Takeover. Guys, that was me attempting to sing into this microphone for you, and I hope you loved it. Today, Consultant Takeover, grab your pens, grab your notebooks, bringing in the heat today. And as always, thanks for listening, and I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast. Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Tiffanie and you are here on the Dental A team consultant takeover where the traveling Dental A Team consultants take over the mic and share tips and tricks from hundreds of offices nationwide. And today I have with me, Dynamite Dana. Dana, you have been on a roll. have been podcasting for, ⁓ my gosh, almost an hour now, honestly. And your tips and tricks have just been mind blowing. Your verbiage was awesome on the last one. I freaking loved it. So now I set you up to like have to wing it to bring it here on this one. You're welcome. I just, as I was speaking, Thank you so much for podcasting with me today. ⁓ we all know Kiera does a million solos. I've done a few, I think we've all done a few solos, but it's just so much more fun when we have at least two people on here to kind of chit chat with. I feel like we're on video, we're talking, we're like two pals just chatting and we're gonna just be two pals chatting about the normal everyday conversation of teamwork and morale. Because that's what brunch talk is, right? I was kidding, I'm just kidding. That is not brunch talk. But that is today, teamwork and morale. I think... I think everything we talked about today has been super relevant, but I really, really think teamwork and morale has been coming up a ton for practices. think. I think employment is different today than it ever has been in our history. And I think teamwork and morale is at the center of that. Morale means more to team members today than it ever has before. We're in the day and age of if it doesn't feel good, we're not doing it. And I can't. disagree with that on a lot of levels. And so I struggle with some of practices too. They're like, I don't understand. I'm like, I don't get it either, but I feel the same. If it doesn't feel good, do I really want to do it? And those are the choices that we're all making every single day. And so I think there's a lot to be said for teamwork and morale. And Dana, have you seen it in practices recently too? Yeah. I mean, I have very few practices where this hasn't come up. And I think, One thing I always like to point out when it comes to this is this is something that takes a ton of work that takes a ton of constant focus. Oftentimes you think, okay, I'm just going to do this office event, or we're going to go out one time, and we're going to bond this one time, and we're going to put in a little bit of effort this month, and then it falls off, or we think that's enough, and teams cycle with this, right? We tend to see Morale stay really high. And then, know, 90 days later we see it dip again. And so it is catching it before it dips. Right. And to do that, we have to just make it a constant focus. Yeah, I totally agree. I love that. Now question for you. I have my opinions, but I want to know your opinion as well. Teamwork and morale often lies on, ⁓ it ends up in the hands of your leadership or your doctors, your owners, but do you, who do you feel like is responsible for teamwork and morale in a, in a business or a practice? I think everyone. think ⁓ team, right, is in teamwork and it takes all team members being willing to work together, being willing to face challenges, being willing to grow, being willing to step up and look for opportunities to push other team members to increase that morale, even if it is recognizing when somebody helps you out and saying thank you. I think it can come from anybody. I think team members look to leadership to set the tone. But I think team members own a piece of it just as much as leadership does. Yeah, I totally agree with you. And that's what I was thinking too. As we're going on this topic, we start out as like, can we do to set the morale? But then I'm thinking, well, we talked about ownership just on a podcast we just recorded. And I think that that is huge here too, being able to own what we bring and what effects, positive or negative, we have on the teamwork and the morale of the practice. I know I get into my cycles, everything in life is cyclical and we'll always end up back in the same places, right? Unless we make a change and that's the definition of insanity. And I think that's why people go crazy. They're like, well, I can't stay in the same place anymore. Like, well, there's like small changes you can make, don't have to make a whole life change, but there are small things. And so I know I go through these phases and I'll get to the point where I'm like, what the heck? Like with travel, right? I'll go wild and I'm like, shoot, I can't do this anymore. Like, no, that's. probably not what it is. Like what is my ownership in this, right? I think, well, what is the LA team doing? How are we, how are they making it exciting? Or Kiera will say, let's add in like more fun events. Like Kiera, that's not always it. Sometimes it's just that like we have to take, I have to take a look at what I've been doing. How have I been contributing? How have I been helping the other consultants to feel amazing at what they're doing? How have I been investing and pouring myself into our company and what We're putting out because that's ultimately how I'm going to feel best about my position and whatever I'm doing. And I know I feel better. I think everybody does. I feel better when I give somebody else compliments and I feel better when I say, thank you, Nicole, to the cash register lady at the store. And she's like, my gosh, thank you for knowing my name. Like you have a name tag. Like I talk about those things a lot, but it really does make it helps build me up so that I think I bring a different, I think I bring a different vibe and a different morale. to the team when I can identify why I'm stuck in a space and make that change for myself compared to coming and showing up and expecting the rest of you guys to change me, right? If I come in a bad mood, I expect you guys to bring it up and you to put in the teamwork and the morale to make me feel better. It doesn't usually, doesn't usually work that way, right? But when I can show up and know I'm in a funk and how am I going to change that by being better for you guys, it often will change it for me. Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more. In 2021, my goal was I would always, and I started it just with like my friends and then I expanded it to pretty much everyone. And my goal was if I thought something nice, if I looked at my friend's earrings and I thought, they're so pretty, I was to say it. So that was my goal for 2021 when I thought those things that I actually had to force myself to say them. And I went into it being like, I want people to hear these good things, right? I want them to hear the things that I think. truly, truly what I got from it was far more immeasurable. Like giving that joy and giving that gave so much back tenfold probably than the person hearing it. And so ⁓ I think about that when it comes to morale, that if I can leave my, ⁓ you know, negative things outside and I can show up and I can be positive, or if I feel disconnected that I'm the one that reaches out or It is truly, truly will make a difference and team members will really have a big impact on that. Yeah, I love that. That's brilliant. And you do give the best compliments. I know you always show up with that. You really truly do stick by that. If you think something, you'll say it about that thing, which I love. It makes everybody feel good. So I think that's brilliant. We all have our piece to play in teamwork. love that you said that like team is literally you're part of the team and it's in the word teamwork. So I love that. And then morale is, think morale is a combination of the work that we all put in. And you said at the beginning leadership sets the tone. think number one person who sets the tone is your doctor owner. So who's the like big Kahuna who's everybody looking to. And then it goes down from there, um, down your leadership ladder. I know if. An office manager is responsible for morale and our doctors like, man, I don't really feel like being here. I don't really, I don't love dentistry. I don't want to, I don't want to be here every day. I hate my hours. I wish I could do more surgery. Your office manager, pep rallying, running around, trying to make everybody happy is not going to fix the situation. Regardless, they're still looking towards you doctors. So just make sure that you guys and even associate doctors, think not. Owners, think you have a huge piece to play in the morale as well. I know I've heard, ⁓ you know, his day is done. So he just gets up and leave. doesn't check with anybody. But then my owner doctor checks to see if dental assistants need anything like show up. That's the biggest piece teamwork and morale is just showing up. Be your best selves, ⁓ give more out than you expect to get back and understand the part and the piece that you play in setting the morale. If the morale is off your teamwork. will fail, right? If your morale is off, people don't want to help each other. Your teamwork is like one, I'm out for myself one for one, right? If your morale is high and people understand how fun it can be to work for you, work out your practice or your business, then your teamwork is going to go up. They're more likely to say, Hey, how can I help? Hey, Dana, you seem down today. Like what can, what can I do? Do you just need to chat? Are you good? Whereas if morale is low. I'm low too, so I might not even notice that Dana's down today. I might not even, I might not be in a space to pay attention because I'm just looking at myself. What do you think, Dana? Yeah, I love that so much because I feel like, again, they're going to look to leadership to set the tone. And so if leadership comes in with that positive, if leadership is looking in ways and oftentimes, I hear when I hear offices say, I don't have team members that take initiative. We lack initiative. I always want to say, then let's take a look at your morale, your culture, because that's probably right where that's coming from. Yeah, I totally agree. I do hear that a lot. I don't have team members. I just need to find team members who are willing to take initiative and do what's hard. I had, I use myself as an example all the time because I really like to evaluate myself, number one, but I really like to look at like who I was and who I've become. And I think My coworkers and my, doctor that I know sometimes listen to this, but I know I do have my office manager from years ago. She listens to our podcasts often. And I hope, I hope she listens at the right time is because she played just a huge piece in helping to mold the person that I am, regardless of how well or how well we did not get to get, get along. but I remember when I was in my early, in my early twenties, I. I hated this. hate even saying it sometimes, but it's like so funny and so embarrassing at the same time. So we had like a refrigerator with water bottles in it. Right. But then we, my doctor loved these Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. Okay. He wanted the practice to smell like a bakery. And I'm like, I, we are a dental practice. We are not a bakery. So this is ridiculous. Number one in my mind. Right. I was just like, this is psycho. That's not off the sugar. He's like, he's like, get the only sugar free ones. So I'm like all day telling people like, no, they're like, getting cavities drumming up business. I'm like, no, they're sugar free, but like they still will cause cavities. It was such a thing. It was a debacle. It's fine. But in my early twenties, I was like, I'm not that like, that's not part of my job to make the cookies and to do the water bottles. Like I have worked here. long enough, I've worked here for five, six years, however long, and I was like, I'm not doing these stupid things anymore. This is no longer me. This is that person over there. And I remember my office manager at the time was like, if you're not willing to do the tedious tasks, then how do you expect someone else who's quote unquote underneath you to want to do it too? She would go in and clean the bathroom. She would go in and change the toilet paper. She would make sure that the ⁓ front lobby was clean, she would go and like she'd have a magic erase marker on the walls because there's scuff marks and so much so that what it did was it made the rest of us like, ⁓ you're not, let me do that. Like we would jump up and go do it because she was that kind of a leader. So I think being the leader, one thing I've learned in my tenure within, you know, adult life, we'll say, is that if you're not willing to be the leader that's willing to do the small tedious tasks that are quote unquote beneath you or that you don't want to do, you can't expect anyone else to do it either. So that sets the tone and the morale 100%. And if you're waiting for people to see the scuff and get up and do it, you already saw it. Why not just do it? Right? And I think that that's a huge piece in my personal life at least. ⁓ of morale that I learned was you're gonna get better results if you're willing to be the leader. That's the difference between a leader and a manager is really leading to the result that you want rather than sitting around and waiting for someone to take the initiative of something that you already saw wasn't being done. Yeah, and the time and the thought that you put into every time you walk by that Scalfmark, my team members haven't taken initiative and done that. Nobody has noticed that or done that, right? The amount of time and energy that you've put into even thinking about that scuff is a fraction of what it would have taken you just to clean it up. Amen. I love that. And we all know that I am not about wasting time nor energy. So do the thing. Just do the thing. I know we talk about say the thing that's making it hard to say, do the thing that you don't want to do. Do the hard things so that other people will learn how to do it too. I think teamwork and morale, I know you guys probably walked into this thinking we were going to have all of these tips and tricks of like, do this, do that, do this, buy this, do this event. And you can do all of those things, but I think at the bottom of it all, and the end of the day is just edifying one another, being good people, doing the things that you don't want to do so that other people learn how to do it and really owning your stuff. So gosh, Dana, tell me if there's other action items you see, but I think I'm taking your. I'm stealing your own, stuff. use this on another podcast and I loved that. And I think it's so relevant. Own your stuff. If you're not in a space of good teamwork or morale, figure out why and change that. How can you break the mold of who you are? Show who you're showing up or how you're showing up today. How can you break that mold, break that chain of insanity, that cyclical phase? So own your stuff. How can you break the mold and then. just do the hard things, do the things that make you a better leader and set that tone for your practice. Yeah, I love it. Sometimes I think it has to take these huge moving mountain things, right? And it truly is, truly, truly is placing the sands in that anthill or whatever analogy you want. It's those little things. It's the thank yous. It's the, that was fantastic. It's the, my gosh, our you know, front office is the best at what they do. It's those little things that push teams to grow together, to work together. It's just the small things. Yeah, I love it. So make yourself a goal like what Dana had. I loved that 2021. If you saw something, you said it. I love that. Make it a goal for the practice. think that's brilliant. If you see somebody doing something well, make sure that you say it out loud. We tend to keep those things inside or I think we're too busy. Just do it. So. I love it. Thanks, Dana. Thanks for being here with me today. That was a fun one to do with you. I loved it. Thanks. You're welcome. Alrighty guys. That wraps up the Dental A Team podcast consultant takeover. Let us know what you think. We love hearing from our listeners. Truly, truly love it. Drop us a five star review or email us over at Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Thanks so much for listening. We'll catch you next time Kiera Dent (16:48) Dental A Team listeners, I hope you loved revisiting this episode as much as I did. I hope that you found the nuggets, the pearls. You can see why we re-released this one because I truly want you to take away the best of the best of the best of the best. This episode truly hopefully sparked some new excitement, gave you some new ideas. I know sometimes when I go back and I look back on things that I've learned in the past, I'm able to re-implement because like that famous quote says, no man steps into the same river twice because neither he is the same man. nor is the river the same. You are not the same as you were before, nor is your practice the same as it was before. Different things, different ideas, same principles. And I really want to highlight and hopefully you took today that sometimes all we need to do is simplify and put into place or to refine things that we've already been doing really, really well. If you love this episode, don't keep it to yourself, share it with a colleague or leave us a review and help more practices find the Dental A Team podcast. As always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast.

This was my introduction to Brotherhood for the Fallen, an organization of police officers who send representatives to every funeral of an officer murdered in the line of duty. Today we're talking to Jason Marsman from the New York City chapter of Brotherhood for the Fallen. We're going to talk about the strange mission to attend every police funeral in the country and the surprising gift for the family that these officers bring with them.Brotherhood For the Fallen NYC Chapter: https://www.brotherhoodnyc.orgMusic is by the WesterliesHey Chaplain Bonus Episode 50Tags:Police, Death, Funerals, Honor, Line of Duty Death, Memorials, Morale, NYPD, Travel, Brooklyn, Dallas, Kansas City, New York City, Kansas, New York, TexasSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Full Text of Readings Sixth Sunday of Easter Lectionary: 55 The Saint of the day is Saint Damien de Veuster of Moloka'i Saint Damien de Veuster of Moloka'i's Story When Joseph de Veuster was born in Tremelo, Belgium, in 1840, few people in Europe had any firsthand knowledge of leprosy, Hansen's disease. By the time he died at the age of 49, people all over the world knew about this disease because of him. They knew that human compassion could soften the ravages of this disease. Forced to quit school at age 13 to work on the family farm, Joseph entered the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary six years later, taking the name of a fourth-century physician and martyr. When his brother Pamphile, a priest in the same congregation, fell ill and was unable to go to the Hawaiian Islands as assigned, Damien quickly volunteered in his place. In May 1864, two months after arriving in his new mission, Damien was ordained a priest in Honolulu and assigned to the island of Hawaii. In 1873, he went to the Hawaiian government's leper colony on the island of Moloka'i, set up seven years earlier. Part of a team of four chaplains taking that assignment for three months each year, Damien soon volunteered to remain permanently, caring for the people's physical, medical, and spiritual needs. In time, he became their most effective advocate to obtain promised government support. Soon the settlement had new houses and a new church, school and orphanage. Morale improved considerably. A few years later, he succeeded in getting the Franciscan Sisters of Syracuse, led by Mother Marianne Cope, to help staff this colony in Kalaupapa. Saint Damien contracted Hansen's disease and died of its complications. As requested, he was buried in Kalaupapa, but in 1936 the Belgian government succeeded in having his body moved to Belgium. Part of Damien's body was returned to his beloved Hawaiian brothers and sisters after his beatification in 1995. When Hawaii became a state in 1959, it selected Damien of Moloka'i as one of its two representatives in the Statuary Hall at the US Capitol. Damien was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 11, 2009. Reflection Some people thought Saint Damien was a hero for going to Moloka'i and others thought he was crazy. When a Protestant clergyman wrote that Damien was guilty of immoral behavior, Robert Louis Stevenson vigorously defended him in an “Open Letter to Dr. Hyde.”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Send us Fan MailAaron flies solo in this Ones Ready Members episode, torching the nonsense and telling it like it is. From the chaos of the new Zulu Course to the never-ending drama of “reform” that forgets reality, he pulls zero punches. He dives into the Schrodinger's Pipeline paradox, salutes a Chief of Staff who finally gets morale right, and skewers the brass who can't keep their rank or zipper under control. Then he flips it, getting real about Veterans Day—no virtue signals, just gratitude, honesty, and perspective from a dude who's lived it. If you're tired of the sanitized version of the military, this one hits different.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Ones Ready Members drop: no ads, no fluff. 01:15 – Zulu Course: bold vision or hot mess? 03:40 – Quitting, standards, and the Schrodinger's Pipeline paradox. 06:05 – The “students forget everything” myth. 08:30 – How to fix training without whining. 09:45 – Veterans Day: pride without the cringe. 12:45 – “You were worth it”—the real message behind service. 13:00 – The new Chief of Staff actually doing something right. 16:15 – Morale shirts, call signs, and small wins that matter. 17:35 – Generals behaving badly (again). 19:45 – Closing thoughts and Operator Training Summit plug.

1. Military Morale and Leadership U.S. military morale has significantly strengthened by a commander-in-chief who is willing to risk substantial resources to rescue a single American service member. Trump is contrasted against Clinton (Somalia), Obama (Libya), and Biden (Afghanistan), portraying those administrations as failing to protect troops. The U.S. military ethos: soldiers fight aggressively because they trust that medics, rescue forces, and leadership will risk everything to save them. 2. U.S. Military Culture and “Quiet Math of American Violence” Highlight inter-service respect (Marines, Navy corpsmen, Air Force PJs). American combat effectiveness comes not just from training or equipment, but from certainty that help will arrive under fire, reinforcing battlefield courage. 3. Trump’s Iran Policy and Deterrence Strategy Trump’s foreign policy is: “FAFO” (forceful consequences for aggression) Transactional with allies (support is conditional) Infrastructure strikes are: Intended to cripple military and economic capability Designed to pressure the population to overthrow the regime A deliberate choice not to destroy oil infrastructure to preserve post‑conflict recovery potential 4. War Crimes Accusations and Legal Defense Democrats and media figures are labeling infrastructure strikes as “war crimes.” This is countered by citing the Pentagon’s Law of War Manual, arguing that power generation and infrastructure supporting military operations can be lawful military objectives. 5. View of Iranian Leadership Iran’s rulers are theocratic extremists who: Do not care about civilian suffering Are willing to sacrifice large portions of their population Doubts are expressed about whether economic devastation would deter or influence regime behavior. 6. Immigration and Violent Crime Violent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants are widespread and underreported Democratic policies (sanctuary cities, TPS, opposition to ICE) directly enabled these crimes Several specific criminal cases argue that border enforcement failures have led to American deaths.
