Johnny sits down with “El Diablo,” an active high-ranking member of the Sinaloa cartel, for a rare and intense conversation about the realities of the modern drug trade. El Diablo talks about how he got started at just 14 years old, how cartel loyalty works, the logistics of moving cocaine from Colombia through Mexico and into the United States, and why he believes staying low-key kept him out of prison for over 30 years. He also breaks down how distribution networks operate across the U.S., how money is moved and laundered, the role of trucking and logistics, internal cartel politics, and why major arrests and killings rarely stop the flow of drugs. Toward the end, he opens up about the personal cost of the lifestyle, the violence, betrayal, and fear that come with it, and why he says he's finally ready to walk away. This is one of the most raw and eye-opening interviews yet on The Connect.

Episode 503 of Relentless Health Value features Stacey Richter with Adam Stavisky, Dr. Leo Spector (OrthoCarolina), and Ryan Wells (Health Here) discussing how self-insured employers and specialists rarely connect directly due to intermediaries and fee-for-service "rails." They outline three common pitfalls when bridging this gap: defining and measuring quality and appropriateness (limits of claims data and missing patient-reported outcomes), achieving scale across geographies and specialties, and ensuring benefit design and incentives so members actually use direct-contracting programs. The conversation frames the evolution of Centers of Excellence from 1.0 (travel to brand-name hospitals) to 2.0 (more local but administratively manual) to 3.0 (new infrastructure enabling direct, efficient contracting). Health Here is described as a digital bridge to support payment and communication pathways and reduce administrative waste. === LINKS ===
If journalists pose as guardians of the public interest, why do they get on the wrong side of 80-20 issues? Our study of the network newscasts and the Big Four News Apps found great disinterest in the "Save ACT," which would require proof of citizenship of voter registration and voter ID at the polls. It's overwhelmingly popular -- and being ignored.

Secrecy World is the inspiration for the Major Motion Picture The Laundromat from Director Steven Soderbergh, Starring Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, and Antonio BanderasA two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist takes us inside the world revealed by the Panama Papers, a landscape of illicit money, political corruption, and fraud on a global scale. A hidden circulatory system flows beneath the surface of global finance, carrying trillions of dollars from drug trafficking, tax evasion, bribery, and other illegal enterprises. This network masks the identities of the individuals who benefit from these activities, aided by bankers, lawyers, and auditors who get paid to look the other way. In Secrecy World, the Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter Jake Bernstein explores this shadow economy and how it evolved, drawing on millions of leaked documents from the files of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca―a trove now known as the Panama Papers―as well as other journalistic and government investigations. Bernstein shows how shell companies operate, how they allow the superwealthy and celebrities to escape taxes, and how they provide cover for illicit activities on a massive scale by crime bosses and corrupt politicians across the globe.Bernstein traveled to the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, and within the United States to uncover how these strands fit together―who is involved, how they operate, and the real-world impact. He recounts how Mossack Fonseca was exposed and what lies ahead for the corporations, banks, law firms, individuals, and governments that are implicated.Secrecy World offers a disturbing and sobering view of how the world really works and raises critical questions about financial and legal institutions we may once have trusted.https://amzn.to/3PcWCUIBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

BES OF: The intersection of artificial intelligence and cosmic horror reveals a startling synergy. Neural networks possess a unique capacity to render the "indescribable" terrors of H.P. Lovecraft, manifesting non-Euclidean geometries and surreal visages that mirror ancient accounts of the spirit realm. This program explores the theory that technology acts as a modern scrying stone, tapping into the same "backend" of reality reached through dreams, NDEs, and shamanic states. From the therianthropic figures of cave art to the glitch-haunted aesthetics of AI-generated monsters, we examine whether these digital shadows are merely math—or a gateway to a very real, etheric "Upside Down" that our ancestors once called the land of the dead.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Ron Elliott, Director of Field Application Engineering at Digi International, spoke with Moshe Beauford of Technology Reseller News at the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition about the growing challenge of connecting legacy medical equipment to modern healthcare networks. Elliott explained that hospitals often rely on critical devices that were designed decades ago—equipment that still performs essential clinical functions but lacks modern network connectivity. Digi International focuses on bridging that gap by enabling healthcare organizations to securely connect legacy medical devices to contemporary IT infrastructures without requiring costly equipment replacement. Through specialized connectivity solutions and device networking technology, Digi allows hospitals to integrate older equipment with electronic health record systems, monitoring platforms, and broader healthcare IT environments. This approach helps healthcare providers extend the life of expensive medical equipment while still benefiting from modern data integration and management capabilities. Elliott noted that this challenge is widespread across healthcare systems where capital equipment can remain in service for many years. “Many hospitals have critical devices that still work perfectly well but weren't designed for today's connected environments,” he said, highlighting the importance of solutions that bring those devices into secure and manageable networks. As healthcare organizations continue to digitize clinical workflows and expand connected care, Digi International's technologies provide a pathway for modernizing infrastructure while protecting existing investments in medical equipment.

Jim LaRoe, CEO of Symphion, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, for a podcast discussion ahead of the upcoming HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, focusing on a frequently overlooked cybersecurity vulnerability in healthcare environments: networked printers and print infrastructure. LaRoe explained that while hospitals and healthcare organizations invest heavily in protecting servers, endpoints, and applications, print fleets often remain unmanaged from a security perspective. “Printers are connected devices on the network, and they can represent a real vulnerability if they're not properly secured,” LaRoe noted. In highly regulated healthcare environments, these devices often handle sensitive patient data and must meet strict compliance requirements. Symphion addresses this issue with a managed service designed to deploy and maintain security certificates across large print fleets. The company's platform automates the process of installing and renewing digital certificates that authenticate devices and encrypt communications between printers and the broader network infrastructure. By automating certificate lifecycle management, Symphion helps organizations reduce administrative overhead while maintaining consistent security policies across thousands of devices. For healthcare organizations preparing for audits or strengthening their cybersecurity posture, the solution can also support compliance frameworks tied to patient privacy and data protection. LaRoe emphasized that healthcare IT teams often lack the resources to manually manage certificate deployments across hundreds or thousands of printers, making automation essential. As healthcare leaders gather at HIMSS to discuss cybersecurity, AI, and digital transformation, Symphion is highlighting the need to extend security strategies to every connected device on the network—including the print infrastructure that continues to support critical clinical workflows.

The episode centers on the evolving responsibility and risk allocation within cybersecurity distribution, with particular focus on Exclusive Networks' approach. Jason Beal, as president of Exclusive Networks North America, outlines their emphasis on a technical workforce, maintaining a 1:3 ratio of engineers to sales representatives. This structure is positioned to address the increasing complexity of cybersecurity and the demands faced by service provider partners, aiming to support solution integration and customer needs while clarifying each party's liability. Supporting this structure, Jason Beal identifies the role of the distributor as both an extension and enabler for MSPs and IT services companies. Distributors are expected to supplement partners' capabilities—whether technical, financial, or operational—without assuming technology failure risk, which remains with the original technology vendors. Discussion of shared responsibility models also distinguishes between sales success (customer adoption, retention) and risk management. Recent developments in cyber insurance are cited as having reduced the direct risk burden on MSPs, shifting much of the liability away from service providers toward technology creators, albeit within contractually defined limits. Adjacent to cybersecurity, the conversation addresses skill and adoption gaps prompted by rapid technical innovation, specifically referencing artificial intelligence (AI). Jason Beal quantifies educational efforts by highlighting a collaboration with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, which has seen 100 students engaged to help address workforce shortfalls in cybersecurity and AI. Additionally, academic experience informs the importance of modernizing IT operations curricula to better reflect current business challenges, such as cloud, AI, and global supply chain impacts. For MSPs and IT service providers, implications include the growing necessity to audit core competencies and allocate resources strategically, leveraging distributors not just for sourcing products but for specialized expertise, integration, and operational support. Risk mitigation remains tied to understanding contract language, vendor accountability, and developments in cyber insurance. The pace of AI and other technology adoption requires continuous education and careful evaluation of both operational risk and the practical limitations of solutions promoted by the channel and distribution partners.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Clare Marie Ritter, Motorcoach Coordinator at the historic Penn Wells Hotel and Lodge in rural Pennsylvania. She shares her experience positioning a smaller, less well-known destination. We talk about the foundations of successful collaborations and why building a supportive network has been crucial to her success. Clare brings vivid examples of successful collaborations, from multi-state itineraries to connecting with neighboring museums, that prove even "off the beaten path" destinations can thrive with teamwork and creative thinking. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Clare Marie Ritter found her way into the tour and travel industry through volunteering and local connections Why positioning a rural destination requires creative marketing strategies, including focusing on attractions and experiences What collaborative partnerships across borders (including state lines) look like, and how Clare uses those relationships to build group itineraries How thinking outside the box has helped Clare identify unique attractions that appeal to group travelers Clare creates fresh itineraries and creative connections in a rural area Best practices when establishing collaborations and building genuine personal connections Expanding Itineraries Clare's passion for history and her beginnings at a local motel led her down a path of helping visitors discover the hidden corners of her rural Pennsylvania home. She realized that promoting a hotel meant first selling the destination itself. After all, you can have the best, most fancy property in the world, but without a reason to come, your marketing is going to fall on deaf ears. Clare recognized the need to think outside the box by promoting local attractions and extending the visitor journey. She formed partnerships with unique local experiences, including a horse-drawn wagon ride through the canyon, small maple producers, and boutique chocolate factories, then widened her lens, working with regional attractions across state lines. She built partnerships with attractions like the Corning Museum of Glass, just 45 minutes away, reaching into New York for collaborative opportunities. The Power of Networks and Creative Collaboration Networking and partnerships play a major role in the success of rural tourism. For Clare, professional networking at organizations like the American Bus Association and regional groups provides contacts, ideas, and new opportunities. You never know where the next fruitful partnership might come from. One standout example is an itinerary co-created with counterparts in Corning and Jamestown, NY, and Coudersport, PA. Together, these small destinations developed a loop that incorporated art, comedy, local history, and natural beauty. Selling this unique cross-state experience has opened doors and filled itineraries with unexpected connections. Looking Ahead: Innovation and Nostalgia With renewed interest in nostalgic travel and more experiential, off-the-beaten-path destinations, Clare is excited about her latest project, which is developing a Route 6 motorcoach itinerary to showcase small towns along this historic road. This initiative dovetails perfectly with America's 250th anniversary, offering travelers fun themed journeys full of history and local flavor.
