While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  In this episode, Kim Scott speaks with Angela Duckworth. Her first book Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, is a #1 New York Times bestseller. Her second book is Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best. In this conversation, Kim interviews Angela about her new book, 'Situated.' They explore a deceptively simple three-box model that explains all of human behavior. Angela emphasizes the power of environment in shaping our thoughts and leading us to–or away from–the results we want. She and Kim discuss the limitations of willpower. Angela describes the two key ingredients of a good situation: challenge and support. Kim and Angela explore why it is important to seek managers and peers who both challenge and support us. They discuss the importance of feedback and why Ruinous Empathy is so damaging to both personal and professional growth. If you're looking for one thing you can control to get better situated, Angela shares some practical advice on curating your personal space to foster positive habits and growth. Guest Background: Prof. Angela Duckworth, PhD, is the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and faculty co-director of the Penn-Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative.  Prior to her career in research, Angela founded an academic enrichment program for low-income children that was profiled as a Harvard Kennedy School case study and today serves hundreds of students each year.

Effective transitions of care are vital, particularly for children who have spent months in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Maureen A. Madden, DNP, RN, CPNP-AC, CCRN, FCCM, speaks with Philip D. Cohen, MD, MSc, about his article, “Non-Emergent Neonatal ICU-to-PICU Transfers in the United States: Cross-Sectional Survey of Neonatologists and Pediatric Intensivists,” published in the May 2026 issue of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. Drawing on responses from neonatologists and pediatric intensivists across the United States, Dr. Cohen examines the challenges associated with transferring patients from the NICU to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for ongoing care. Although these transfers occur infrequently, with a median of only five to six non-emergent transfers annually per institution, they often involve children with prolonged hospitalizations, significant medical complexity, and deeply established relationships with NICU care teams. Survey findings suggest broad agreement among neonatologists and pediatric intensivists that standardized protocols are needed and that structured approaches improve the effectiveness of transfers. Key themes include multidisciplinary handoffs, earlier identification of transfer candidates, family-centered communication, and greater collaboration between NICU and PICU teams before and after transfer. Dr. Cohen also explores opportunities for implementation science to advance this work, emphasizing the importance of incorporating perspectives from parents and caregivers, nurses, and advanced practice providers. This discussion will educate and inspire pediatric critical care teams seeking to improve continuity of care through adaptable, evidence-informed frameworks.

Between a fishing vessel out on the water and a can of tuna in your grocery cart, there is a whole hidden system deciding whether you should trust what is on the label. In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean Podcast, host Andrew Lewin breaks down how that system actually works, and why the blue check mark on your seafood means something real. Andrew starts with the RFMO, a regional fisheries management organization: a treaty-based body where countries with a stake in a fishery legally bind themselves to cooperate on how it is managed. He walks through where these bodies actually meet, how governance decisions travel from those rooms to your dinner table through the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation's transparency and accountability model (audited companies, public compliance reports, vessels scored on public lists), and how the Marine Stewardship Council's certification functions as an eco-label with real financial weight behind it, including why MSC pulled its certification of the Maine lobster fishery twice, in August 2020 and again in December 2022. The throughline is that no single piece of this system works alone. ISSF does the unglamorous, ongoing work of auditing companies and tracking vessels. MSC turns that evidence into the single label a shopper actually sees in the seafood aisle. This episode sets up tomorrow's interview with an ISSF representative who has spent decades inside these negotiations and will walk through what that cooperation actually looks like in the room. Takeaways: A regional fisheries management organization (RFMO) is a treaty-based body that turns "we should manage this fishery responsibly" into an enforceable, multi-country agreement. Eco-labels like MSC certification carry real financial weight. Losing one can force a fishery to change its practices, even when the science on the underlying risk is still ambiguous. The International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) does not certify fisheries. It builds the audited evidence trail, including annual compliance reports and the ProActive Vessel Register, that the Marine Stewardship Council draws on to certify them. As of ISSF's November 2024 compliance report, participating companies scored 99.1% compliance across 33 conservation measures, while PVR-registered vessels scored 76% compliance across 12 vessel-specific measures as of December 31, 2023, a gap worth naming. Transparency at the vessel level is what lets retailers like Costco and Walmart hold to their own sustainability commitments, and what lets consumers trust a label instead of just a company's own claim.  

Central sleep apnea is a complex and often underrecognized sleep-related breathing disorder that differs from obstructive sleep apnea by involving reduced respiratory drive rather than upper airway obstruction. In this episode, Dr. Ran Liu reviews the underlying mechanisms of central sleep apnea, including the role of ventilatory control instability, discusses its association with neurologic conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, ALS, and myasthenic disorders, and highlights key considerations for diagnosis and management. Learn how emerging technologies, personalized treatment strategies, and advances in sleep medicine are improving outcomes for patients with this heterogeneous group of disorders. In this episode, Teshamae Monteith, MD, FAAN, speaks with Ran R. Liu, MD, FRCPC, MSc, author of the article "Central Sleep Apnea" in the Continuum® August 2026 Sleep Neurology issue. Dr. Monteith is the associate editor of Continuum® Audio and an associate professor of clinical neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami, Florida. Dr. Liu is an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, and an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada.

Today, I'm interviewing Dr. Richard Liu about his article on central sleep apnea. This article appears in the August 2026 Continuum issue on Neurology of Sleep. Welcome to our podcast. How are you?  Dr Liu: Good. Thank you, Dr. Monteith, for having me today.  Dr Monteith: Please introduce yourself to our audience.  Dr Liu: Hello, everybody. My name is Richard Liu. I am a sleep neurologist. I am working out of Toronto at both Sunnybrook Health Science Center and MedSleep. I did my residency at Queen's for neurology and my sleep medicine fellowship at Harvard University.  Dr Monteith: Great. And what got you interested in sleep?  Dr Liu: Thank you very much for asking. For me, sleep medicine is a field where essentially everything is connected. Certainly, impaired sleep can affect many other conditions, including many neurological conditions. And even within sleep medicine, when somebody has a sleep disorder, often the entire system is connected. So as an example, if you have insomnia and fragmented sleep and periodic limb movements of sleep, certainly these conditions can impact sleep apnea. And certainly, for today's topic of central sleep apnea, this is an extremely complicated disorder where it's a very in-depth integration between neurological and respiratory physiology, among other systems as well.  Dr Monteith: So, I guess you're kind of like the cornerstone, sleep being the cornerstone of neurology. Everyone has to sleep. That's for sure. Great. So why don't we talk about what central sleep apnea is, and how prevalent is it as a collective group of disorders compared to obstructive sleep apnea?  Dr Liu: So, one way to think about central sleep apnea is that this is a heterogeneous group of etiology. But the primary concept here for central sleep apnea is that there's a reduction in respiratory drive. This is in contrast to obstructive sleep apnea, where essentially this is some form of airway obstruction in the presence of relatively intact respiratory drive. And of course, there's mixed apneas where they may contain features of both. But of course, now we know that even obstructive sleep apnea, there's a certain degree of drive dependence somewhat blurring these distinctions. The overall prevalence of central sleep apnea is about five to ten percent of all patients with sleep- disorder breathing. And certainly, it could be higher in some neurological conditions, such as things like stroke, multiple sclerosis, and multisystem atrophy.  Dr Monteith: Great. So certainly, it's out there. Why don't you tell us about the objectives of your article?  Dr Liu: Absolutely. Thank you for asking. I think the main objective of this article is really to highlight that central sleep apnea is a complex syndrome resulting from a large group of heterogeneous etiologies. And of course, again, it could be associated with many neurological conditions. And really here, I want to highlight advancements, both medicine and technology, on both the side of diagnosis of central sleep apnea, as well as the multimodal targeted treatment.  Dr Monteith: And what do you want our listeners to take away from this talk and certainly your article? What are the key essential points?  Dr Liu: Thank you very much for asking. I think that one way of looking at central sleep apnea to etiologically divide this into both hypocapnic and hypercapnic central sleep apnea. And of course, loop gain being a major driver for a hypocapnic central sleep apnea, and that one can actually think about hypocapnic central sleep apnea beyond a phenotypic spectrum with obstructive sleep apnea, with many patients having overlapping features of both obstruction and central component. On the other hand, hypercapnic central sleep apnea, often also known as hyperventilation syndrome, can span etiology from chemoreflex dysfunction to a broad range of neuroanatomical localization, such as central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscle disorders.  Dr Monteith: And what are some of the symptoms of central sleep apnea? Do any of them differ from obstructive sleep apnea?  Dr Liu: Thank you for asking, that's an excellent question. So certainly, central sleep apnea symptoms can overlap with obstructive sleep apnea symptoms. And of course, given the large range of underlying etiology, often the CSA symptoms depend on the underlying etiology. There may be less snoring compared to obstructive sleep apnea patients, especially the hypocapnic CSA patients. Of course, these patients, like OSA, may have frequent awakenings, gasping and choking their sleep, and nocturia, and so on.These patients may have daytime sleepiness, insomnia-like symptoms, or they could be asymptomatic. Interestingly, the hypocarbnic central sleep apnea patients, they're a bit more prone to have the insomnia-like symptoms, whereas the hypercarbnic central sleep apnea patients, they tend to have a bit more of the daytime sleepiness and morning headaches.  Dr Monteith: You spoke about some of the neurological disorders that might be associated with central sleep apnea, like stroke and multiple sclerosis. What about some of the more traditional risk factors associated with obstructive sleep apnea or conditions associated with it, like obesity and hypertension? Or does that just mix the picture?  Dr Liu: There is many overlap between risk factors between obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea, and certainly one of the things that I highlight in this article is really that often it's not just black and white, that this could be a spectrum with overlapping disease between both conditions. So certainly, in our neurological world, stroke is the most common thing that may be associated with central sleep apnea. But overall, cardiovascular issues such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation, these things can also be associated with central sleep apnea. And again, from the neurological perspective, if we were to divide from hypocarbnic versus hypercarbnic central sleep apnea, by thinking about the hypercarbic central sleep apnea, again, this is where we're thinking about hypoventilation syndromes. You know, anything that can cause neuromuscular weakness, this is something that we should have a high alarm for, that potentially there may be a hypoventilation component. So, things like any myasthenic syndromes and ALS.  Dr Monteith: Great. Why don't we also talk about the classification? When was the last time central sleep apnea's classification was updated, and what should we know about the classification?  Dr Liu: The most recent classification for central sleep apnea is written in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, third edition. In this edition, it's classified with six central sleep apnea syndromes. So, these are the CSA with Cheyne-Stoke breathing, CSA due to high altitude periodic breathing, primary CSA, CSA due to medication or substance, CSA due to medical disorder without Cheyne-Stoke breathing, and treatment-emergent central sleep apnea. These classifications more so describe the circumstance of when CSA occurs. A more etiological classification that we can consider would be classifying them by the underlying pathophysiology, which is dividing this from hypercarbnic central sleep apnea versus a hypocarbnic central sleep apnea. Certainly, both set of classification are discussed in this article.  Dr Monteith: Yeah. You discussed at length, the major physiological factors that our audience is just going to have to read. I don't want them to hear this too much while they're driving or on the treadmill, cause its super high level. But why don't we just start with some very basic factors that we need to know about this circuitry?  Dr Liu: Perhaps I can start with this concept of loop gain, which is the most important concept under hypocarbnic central sleep apnea. For any one of my colleagues who's listening to this, they're probably laughing right now cause they think that loop gain is my favorite word. So, loop gain is an engineering term referring to the sensitivity of a feedback loop. So, in the context of sleep medicine, this is an overly sensitive respiratory control to carbon dioxide and oxygen fluctuation. There are three components. The main one is controller gain. This is a chemosensitivity predominant to CO2. The second is plant gain, which is the lung's effectiveness for carbon dioxide excretion. And the last is what's called the mixing gain. This is circuitry delay from the time the signal travels from the pulmonary artery to the peripheral and central chemoreceptors. So conceptually, one may think, let's say something decreases your ventilation, so for example, apnea or hypopnea. With this, as you can imagine, when you stop breathing, your CO2 builds up, and this builds up according to the curve of the plant gain. And of course, this build of CO2 signal takes time to go from your lung to your chemoreceptor. That's your mixing gain. And of course, here it meets the overly sensitive chemoreceptors. This is your controller gain. As a result, this results in amplification of your ventilation to the initial respiratory disturbance. So, you have a overshoot of ventilation. All of a sudden, you're blowing out too much carbon dioxide, then you become hypocarbnic. At one point, if you blow out way too much carbon dioxide, your CO2 goes below what's called a PCO2 apneic threshold. After this, if your CO2's below, you essentially stop breathing. And of course, after that, you can imagine your CO2s are building up again. So, when this loop goes over and over, you generate what's called a chemoreflex-driven respiratory oscillation, where you create a crescendo, decrescendo-like flow pattern, which is underneath what we see in periodic breathing in central sleep apnea.  Dr Monteith: So, without going into too much detail, what is the key way to target restoration of equilibrium? Are there anatomical targets, physiologic targets that we're trying to manipulate here? Dr Liu: Again, thank you very much for that wonderful question. There's certainly many approaches that we could do to improve the stability of the system. Certainly, there are treatments for ventilation, either CPAP or in the case of hypocarbon central sleep apnea, things like adaptive servo ventilation. There is also medications that we can certainly discuss later that can double down the entire system for loop gain. Positional therapy can help for many of these patients. For the appropriate patient, improving their arousal threshold can actually reduce arousal-induced amplification of loop gain. Many of these patients, again, if appropriate, certainly weight loss may be helpful, and these are among many things that we can potentially do to improve the ventilatory stability of these patients.  Dr Monteith: Okay, great. But let's also talk about the general overall approach to diagnosing, and much of it is by history, as you mentioned. There's also sometimes a need, as you say, to differentiate out how much is obstructive. So, what is the thinking process there when you're approaching a patient?  Dr Liu: So perhaps I can start with in terms of the diagnostic modalities that we could use for this. So, the gold standard for diagnosis of central sleep apnea is still our polysonogram. The home sleep apnea test sometimes may be harder to distinguish between obstructive and central events. In addition, on a PSG, you have EEG. This allows you to assess for sleep quality and arousals, as well as the EMGs, which can help you pick up periodic limb movements of sleep. And of course, all of these things themselves can affect the central sleep apnea and can be a potential treatment factor.  Dr Monteith: Before we get into treatment, can you just give us, like, the top five or six drugs or drug classes we need to look for so that, you know, we can discontinue or try something else for our patients that might be complicating their presentation?  Dr Liu: Certainly medications, in some cases, can help central sleep apnea, but other cases can certainly be a precipitant of central sleep apnea. So, one thing to consider would be opioid medication. They can certainly cause very complicated central sleep apnea, something called ataxic breathing, where you have irregularity to the tidal volume and the rate of breathing. Other medications such as Oxybate, baclofen, valproic acid, gabapentin, all of which can certainly contribute to central sleep apnea. And of course, in the stroke world, something that we should always think about is that Tetagelor can also contribute to central sleep apnea. And outside of this, things like muscle relaxants, anesthetic agents can also be a contributor.  Dr Monteith: Great. Now let's get into some of the treatment.  Dr Liu: I like to divide treatment into targeting a hypercarbnic central sleep apnea and a hypocarbonic central sleep apnea. For hypocarbonic central sleep apnea, the first line is CPAP treatment. But for many patients, CPAP therapy is insufficient. There's also adaptive servo ventilation, which is an advanced device designed for hypocarbonic central sleep apnea. For hypercarbic central sleep apnea, again, first line is CPAP treatment, with more advanced devices being a bilevel therapy as well as volume-assured pressure support ventilation. There are also medications that can reduce loop gain, with the most researched one being acetazolamide. We can also reduce arousal thresholds, which could be appropriate for certain patients. And for certain patients, improving arousal threshold can be helpful as, especially in hypocarbic central sleep apnea, that arousals can amplify loop gain. Weight loss can be helpful for both hyper- and hypocarbonic central sleep apnea, and we have great new medication on the market for this. Other therapy can include supplemental oxygen that can be added to PAP devices, as well as phrenic nerve stimulation, positional therapy, as well as carbon dioxide modulation.  Dr Monteith: Excellent. So, it sounds like there's a lot of opportunity to help patients. Now, what are you most excited about in terms of latest development for detection as well as for intervention?  Dr Liu: Thank you very much. I'm actually excited about many things in sleep medicine. Perhaps the thing that I'm most excited about in detection in sleep medicine would be the wearable technologies. So, these technologies may use photoplethysmography to detect peripheral artertonometry. This is where we're measuring the pulsatile arterial volume signals as a surrogate of cardiac and respiratory function. And when paired, that was often desaturation. With these technologies, we can actually detect the staging, autonomic arousals, and HI. So of course, these technologies do not have flow, and they do not have EEG. But they're very powerful technology that allows us to do multi-night testing from home. And of course, understanding both the potential limitation of these technology in the context of patients can be very useful. In terms of treatment-wise, we're learning so much about the underlying contributing drivers of different forms of central sleep apnea. So again, this is highlighted in my article that many of these patients needs multimodal targeted treatment, both between either a PAP device in addition to other things such as medication, oxygen, positional therapy, and so on.  Dr Monteith: Great. So, I mean, I think there's so much to this field. Your article is very extensive. Thank you very much for writing this. I know it may have taken a bit of time, and I appreciate you being on our podcast.  Dr Liu: Thank you very much.  Dr Monteith: Again today, I've been interviewing Dr. Richard Liu about his article on central sleep apnea.

I sat down with Randy Swan, who started a Swiss machining shop at 60 after a 34 year career working for other people. Five years in, RPM is growing more than 60 percent a year. Ask Randy what's behind that number and he doesn't start with machines or markets. He starts with the 14 people on his floor. He hires for character, capability, and values, and he puts experience close to last. He looks for people who care and are willing to learn, then trains them through a three tier system at their own pace. One of his strongest operators had never seen a Swiss machine before she walked in the door. She runs multiple machines now and checks everyone else's parts. The other half of it is transparency. Randy puts the financials on the floor, posts the sales and profit thresholds where everyone can see them, and pulls the whole team together every Tuesday to look at the same numbers. Last year RPM paid its first profit sharing. When the shop does well, everybody does well, and people behave differently when they can see the target. The results back him up. Seven Swiss machines running seven days a week plus a night shift, ISO in the first six months, AS9100 in under three years. Sales does its part too, because as Randy puts it, nothing happens until somebody sells something. His 70 year old salesman lives by the shop's rule that no doesn't mean no, it just means not right now, and he keeps checking back with buyers until the work shows up. We also get into the flow mapping he's doing with the Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance to strip the waste out of processes that made sense when he was doing everything himself, and why he'd rather be the best shop in Oklahoma than the biggest. Grab a pencil for this one. There's a lot of hard won wisdom packed in. What's Covered in this Episode (0:00) "No does not mean no—it just means not right now."

Metastatic osteosarcoma remains a major clinical challenge, highlighting the need to better understand the molecular mechanisms that drive disease progression. In this talk, Moreno will present the use of an in vivo CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) screen to identify genes that promote osteosarcoma progression. She will focus on KLF5, a transcription factor that emerged as a key regulator in our studies, and discuss its potential as a therapeutic target for osteosarcoma.Marta Roman Moreno, PhD, is a postdoc fellow in the Sweet-Cordero Lab at UCSF. She has a BSc in Biochemistry from the University of Granada in Spain, and an MSc and PhD in Biomedical Research from the University of Navarra (Spain). The key focus of her work is to define key regulators of metastasis in osteosarcoma and determine the vulnerabilities that can diminish the survival of metastatic cells. Using mouse models, cell lines derived from patient samples (PDXs) and pooled in vivo CRISPR screens, she has been able to identify several potential genetic vulnerabilities in the context of metastatic osteosarcoma.

Join Michelle Wiltse, Founder and CEO of CompanAIn, for a grounded discussion on why the tech industry's rush toward "AI-first" branding often undermines true enterprise value. In a market flooded with companies rushing to wrap basic wrapper interfaces around large language models, Michelle took a radically different path. Having previously led agentic AI capabilities and deployed multi-agent systems for major global institutions, she chose to apply this frontier technology where it matters most: eliminating health data fragmentation for companion animals nationwide. In this episode, Michelle shares why the smartest AI strategy prioritizes deliberate restraint—using AI only where it solves genuine structural problems—and how a mission-driven mindset beats superficial "AI theater" every time.

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has become an increasingly popular tool in oral surgery, but what is the best way to incorporate it into your practice? In this episode, Dr. Grant Stucki welcomes oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Anish Gupta back to the podcast to discuss how PRF can enhance procedures ranging from third molar extraction to ridge preservation, sinus lifts, and bone grafting. Rather than presenting it as a cure-all, Dr. Gupta explains where PRF offers meaningful benefits, from improving soft tissue healing and creating easier-to-handle "sticky bone" to reducing post-operative concerns and simplifying graft placement. He also shares practical advice on implementation, equipment, team training, and protocol development. The conversation concludes with a discussion of liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel®) and its role in supporting opioid-free pain management after surgery. Tune in for practical insights to help refine your surgical workflow and patient care!Key Points From This Episode:=Introduction to platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and how it differs from platelet-rich plasma (PRP).Using PRF for third molars and extraction sockets.Creating "sticky bone” with PRF to improve graft handling and stability.Where PRF helps most, like soft tissue healing, and why it isn't a cure-all.Dr. Gupta's PRF approach to third molar extraction and ridge preservation.How PRF reduces post-op concerns.Why patients and staff respond positively to PRF.Incorporating PRF into third molar surgery protocols.Why Dr. Gupta moved away from routine chlorhexidine use.Using StellaLife® alongside PRF to support post-op recovery.Practical tips for implementing PRF in a surgical practice.Emerging PRF applications and future directions.Resources for learning how to implement PRF and training your team.Using Exparel® to support opioid-free pain management.Setting realistic expectations for PRF and Exparel® outcomes.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Dr. Gupta Oral Surgeon | Lyon Dental Implants And Oral Surgery — https://lyondentalimplants.com/dr-guptaDr. Gupta Email — guptanish@gmail.comStellaLife® VEGA® Oral Care Spearmint Rinse — stellalife.com/products/stellalife-vega-oral-care-sprearmint-rinseDr. Richard J.

Is Hong Kong Still Safe for Business? | The International Risk Podcast with Megan KhooHong Kong has long been regarded as one of the world's safest and most attractive places to do business. But following the introduction of the National Security Law, growing geopolitical tensions between China and the West, and increasing scrutiny from international governments, many organisations are reassessing the risks of operating in the territory.In this episode, we explore how Hong Kong's changing political and legal landscape is reshaping the business environment, what international companies should understand before investing or expanding in the region, and how geopolitical risk is becoming a board-level issue.We discuss:Is Hong Kong still a safe place for international business?How the National Security Law has changed Hong Kong's legal and political environmentThe impact of US-China strategic competition on international companiesBusiness confidence, sanctions, and reputational riskHuman rights concerns and their implications for multinational organisationsThe future of Hong Kong as an international financial centreHow organisations can better prepare for geopolitical uncertainty in AsiaThe international risks that concern Megan Khoo mostAbout the guestMegan Khoo is Policy Director at Hong Kong Watch, where she leads the organisation's policy and advocacy work on Hong Kong, China, human rights, and international affairs.

He advises CEOs, boards, and senior executives on crisis management, geopolitical risk, operational resilience, and strategy, drawing on decades of experience across government, humanitarian operations, and corporate leadership.

In this episode, we bring a nuanced, science-based approach to many hot topics in running right now. What causes muscle cramps? Does Pilates count as strength training? Should slower runners wear carbon plated shoes? Is it possible to overfuel on long runs? Our goal is to provide individualized guidance, rather than click-baity universalized proclamations. In this episode, we provide our informed takes on:✅ What actually causes muscle cramps (according to science)✅ If taking walk breaks discounts a marathon effort✅ If back of pack and midpack runners benefit from carbon plated shoes✅ Why Pilates does not replace resistance training✅ Is there such a thing as overfueling on long runs?Tread Lightly Running is hosted and researched by Amanda Brooks and Laura Norris, MSc.

Si riparte "da dove eravamo rimasti" — cioè dall'estero. Matteo, tornato in Inghilterra dopo una settimana napoletana, confessa di aver "intravisto" il mondiale in un bar sotto casa a Napoli: Inghilterra–Argentina, e tutto il bar tifava Argentina... Trascrizione interattiva e Vocab Helper Support Easy Italian and get interactive transcripts, live vocabulary and bonus content: easyitalian.fm/membership Parole della settimana bazzicare — Frequentare un posto o un ambiente, avere a che fare con qualcosa. Matteo lo usa parlando di musica: il jazz è un genere che lui "bazzica poco" — e Raffaele glielo spiega in diretta. English: to hang around, to be familiar with il fumaiolo — La "ciminiera" delle navi, da cui esce il fumo. Nell'episodio è la parola che i due cercano insieme — non "comignolo", che è quello delle case! — e quelli delle navi Costa sono di un giallo molto preciso: giallo olio di oliva. English: funnel (of a ship) Note dell'episodio ...il motivo è storico e ha un nome solo, Diego Armando Maradona — e con l'Italia assente "non c'era neanche la scelta". Poi la vita inglese: il festival Tramlines che riempie di musica dal vivo tutti i pub di Sheffield, le camminate quotidiane nella campagna di Dronfield dopo venti giorni di siccità, e i club di tiro con l'arco che non rispondono alle mail. Poi la notizia: Raffaele parte, in crociera, da Napoli, sulla Costa Toscana — "una delle più grandi, se non la più grande". E lo dice subito: "non sono proprio tipo da crociera", due crociere in trent'anni, perché cinque ore in una città vogliono dire fare tutto di fretta e perdersi le sere. Però, a conti fatti, "ogni tanto ha il suo perché": tanti posti in una settimana sola, compresi quelli dove non organizzeresti mai una vacanza apposta. E qui arriva la storia che dà il titolo alla puntata. Le crociere italiane nascono dai transatlantici dell'emigrazione: dopo l'Unità d'Italia si partiva in nave per il nuovo mondo, e quando gli aerei svuotarono le traversate, le navi dovettero inventarsi qualcos'altro. Costa Crociere all'inizio non trasportava persone: produceva ed esportava olio d'oliva agli emigrati nelle Americhe, che sentivano la mancanza del pilastro della dieta mediterranea — poi il colpo di genio: "se porto l'olio porto anche le persone", e alle stive si aggiunsero le cabine. I fumaioli delle navi Costa sono ancora oggi di un giallo preciso: giallo olio di oliva. MSC invece nasce a Sorrento dalla più grande flotta cargo: "le due anime delle crociere in Italia". C'è anche una chiusura del cerchio: Barcellona fu il primo viaggio all'estero di Raffaele con sua moglie, nel 2002, quando una guida disse che la Sagrada Família sarebbe stata completata "nel 2025, nel 2026". Ci tornano adesso, con la figlia, a vederla finita — 24 anni dopo. Le impressioni dalla nave arrivano "tra una settimana"; intanto la domanda di Matteo sulla Sagrada Família, e la caccia a chi diceva "il tempo è tiranno", continuano nell'aftershow. Trascrizione Raffaele: [0:24] Rieccoci: buongiorno, Matteo! Matteo: [0:27] Ben ritrovato e ritrovati: che piacere sentirvi tutti. Raffaele: [0:34] Certo. Che bello e abbiamo un sacco di cose da raccontarci. Da dove vogliamo cominciare, Matteo? Matteo: [0:40] E allora direi che possiamo partire da dove eravamo rimasti, ma in realtà non è questa la sezione... [Italiani all'estero] Iniziamo subito con qualcosa che attira l'attenzione: dice "dove eravamo rimasti?", ma poi siamo all'estero. ...

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!

Welcome back to the Late Boomers Podcast! We're Cathy Worthington and Merry Elkins , and we're thrilled you're joining us for another episode dedicated to helping you reinvent your health and well-being at any age.In Episode 294, we dive into a topic affecting every single one of us: environmental toxins and what “clean living” really means. With so many buzzwords organic, natural, chemical-free it can be overwhelming to distinguish helpful tips from clever marketing. That's why we invited Amy Hartshorn, founder of Green Living Now and veteran advocate for non-toxic living, to demystify how to make healthier choices that fit our real lives.For over 34 years, Amy Hartshorn has been at the forefront of teaching practical, approachable ways to reduce toxins in our homes, food, and daily routines. As co-owner of a certified organic farm in Vermont, she brings a hands-on perspective on what really matters in food, soil, and consumer safety.In this episode, we discuss:How marketing labels like “natural” and “wild-caught” can be misleadingWays to prioritize your food budget for the biggest health impactThe truth about greenwashing and how to read between the lines on packagingEasy first steps to reduce toxins in your home without spending a fortuneThe importance of soil health, indoor air quality, and what families should know about furniture, fragrances, and plasticsThe healing power of nature and community, as seen in Amy's transformative retreatsKey TakeawaysPerfection isn't the goal: Small, steady improvements like swapping out a scented laundry detergent for fragrance-free can make a real difference (09:00, 41:08).Not all labels are created equal: “Natural” is a meaningless term, and “wild-caught” is only trustworthy if certified by credible organizations like the MSC (10:07, 44:51).Start with high-impact swaps: If organic isn't in the budget for everything, focus on the “Dirty Dozen” produce and prioritize organic meat and dairy for the biggest benefit (15:14).Fragrances are hidden toxins: Remove air fresheners, plugins, and heavily scented products from your home for an easy, impactful win (28:01, 41:08).Read ingredient lists, not just claims: The real story about what you're buying is on the back of the label (25:39).Our choices matter: Every dollar spent sends a message about what we value, and we wield more power as consumers than we sometimes realize (24:10).Community and nature heal: Amy Hartshorn shares moving stories of how farm retreats and horse therapy have changed lives, showing that holistic change goes beyond our shopping carts (32:07).If today's conversation made you think twice about air freshener, food labels, or what's lurking in your cleaning supply closet, share this episode with a friend or family member who'd benefit from a more informed approach to healthier living.We'd love for you to subscribe to The Late Boomers Podcast wherever you listen don't miss future conversations with experts who help you live your best next chapter.Check out more resources from Amy Hartshorn on greenlivingnow.com, and find her podcast, Green Living Now, for deeper dives and practical guidance.Leave us a review, connect on YouTube, and remember every step towards cleaner living counts, no matter when you start.It's never too late to rethink what's possible!— Cathy & MerryMentioned in this episode:Late Boomers is part of the eWomenPodcastNetwork. eWomenPodcastNetwork
