A new four-part series from This Is Not A Drill… Warfare is evolving faster than ever in this dangerous world. Gavin Esler explores a new generation of weapons and how they'll fight – or prevent – the next wars. This time: In an age of brutal medium-sized regional conflicts, nuclear deterrence is suddenly less important – and missiles are back. From massively destructive hypersonic weapons to smart cruise-drone hybrids to networked “loitering munitions”, they're becoming faster, more accurate, and more capable of inflicting atrocities on civilians in indiscriminate hands. And as the Iran and Ukraine Wars prove, they're far from a guarantee of victory. Gavin Esler talks to: • Dr Sidharth Kaushal, senior research fellow in the Military Sciences programme at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) • Peter Apps, global defense columnist for Reuters, British Army reservist and author of The Next World War Dr Jessica Dorsey, assistant Professor of International Law and co-director of Realities of Algorithmic Warfare at Utrecht University.

What does it really take to build a dairy that can thrive for generations?In this episode of the Uplevel Dairy Podcast, Peggy Coffeen sits down with Mitch Perkins of Perkins Twin Creek Farm in Indiana, a third-generation family dairy milking 450 cows and farming 2,700 acres. Mitch shares what it means to step into a family legacy and make decisions that honor what previous generations built while preparing the farm for what comes next.From investing in robotic milking technology to embracing high-oleic soybeans and creating new opportunities within their cropping operation, Mitch talks about approaching innovation through the lens of stewardship, profitability, and long-term sustainability. He also shares why knowing when to walk away from an opportunity can be just as important as knowing when to say yes.At the heart of the conversation is a simple philosophy: do the little things right, and those things become the big things.This episode is a thoughtful look at making intentional decisions, staying personally involved, and building a dairy that gives the next generation an opportunity to carry the legacy forward.This Episode is brought to you by AdisseoThis episode is sponsored by Uplevel Dairy Podcast Founding Partner Adisseo, a global leader in nutritional solutions and premier provider of rumen-protected methionine for dairy producers who want to optimize milk production, capture more value from components, and maintain the health of their high-performing herds.

Every Green Beret, Civil Affairs soldier, and Psychological Operations soldier starts somewhere. Before they can operate in the world's most complex environments, they have to prove they can think, adapt, lead, and perform when the standard is uncompromising. At the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, the mission is simple to say and extraordinarily difficult to execute: build the world's best special operators, then continue making them better.In this episode, Fran Racioppi travelled to the center of the universe, Fort Bragg, NC, to sit down with the command team responsible for that mission: Major General Jason Slider, Command Sergeant Major Jeff Bochey, and Chief Warrant Officer 5 Gary Ostrander. Together, they lead the organization responsible for assessing, selecting, training, and educating the next generation of Army Special Operations Forces while ensuring today's operators remain prepared for tomorrow's fight.The battlefield is changing rapidly. After more than two decades dominated by counterterrorism, SWCS is adapting its training for large-scale combat operations and peer adversaries capable of contesting American forces across every domain. That means integrating robotics and autonomous systems, preparing operators for the digital and information fight, and understanding how artificial intelligence can enhance the force without allowing technology to replace mastery of the fundamentals.But modernization also raises a harder question: how much can we ask one operator to do? As new capabilities emerge, SWCS has to determine what belongs in the baseline skill set, what requires specialized expertise, and how to give operational units new capabilities without adding another burden. From the development of robotics expertise to the evolution of Psychological Operations and information warfare, the institution itself has to adapt as quickly as the battlefield.We also examine the relationship between SWCS, 1st Special Forces Command, and USASOC, and why lessons from operational formations must move rapidly back into the schoolhouse. Training cannot prepare soldiers for the war we just fought. It has to produce leaders who can arrive at their teams on day one, contribute immediately, and adapt to a fight none of us can completely predict.Technology will change. The enemy will change. The battlefield will change. The standard cannot. The responsibility of SWCS is to ensure that whoever earns the right to join Army Special Operations has the competence, character, discipline, and adaptability to carry its legacy into whatever fight comes next.

This approach fosters institutional collaboration and a stronger culture at HSS. Finally, the episode dives into physicians' relationships with industry. Dr. Figgie offers candid advice on contracts, intellectual property rights, and ethical considerations when working with device manufacturers. He emphasizes the importance of legal review and staying true to what benefits patients. Dr. Press adds insight into personal financial trust, suggesting that doctors build a "board of directors" for trusted guidance.

That company eventually became HomeServe, serving millions of customers globally before being sold for more than £4 billion. In this episode, Richard joins Ilana to share the lessons behind that extraordinary journey, from finding the business model that saved HomeServe with his final £10,000 to learning how to scale internationally, hire leaders better than himself, and stay focused when entrepreneurs are naturally drawn to the next big idea. Richard also shares lessons from his book, How to Make a Billion in Nine Steps, including why copying a proven model can be smarter than inventing something new, why every entrepreneur needs a “not-to-do” list, and the two mistakes he sees holding ambitious founders back.

Next generation talent isn't rejecting ambition, they're rejecting vague ambition. They want to know what they're becoming, not just what the job is. By 2030, Gen Z and millennials will comprise 74% of the global workforce, and they're clear about what they need: purpose-driven work, real development, and a visible career path. Yet most advisory firms still operate from an old bargain: work hard, wait patiently, opportunities will come. That no longer retains talent.Ray Sclafani reveals the five-question framework that turns retention into strategy. Learn how to make the future visible, treat development as intentional leadership practice, and connect work to real meaning. The practical next step is immediate: schedule one conversation with each direct report within 60-90 days and document the next experience they need, not just the next title.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEWhy next generation talent rejects vague ambition, not ambition itself, and what question they're really asking about their futureHow to use the five-question conversation framework to clarify career paths, development plans, and professional identityWhy making the future visible requires outlining growth, development ownership, possible career tracks, meaning, and AI impactHow to document the next experience rather than the next title so growth happens through structured opportunitiesWhy connecting younger professionals to client impact and meaningful outcomes is essential for retention in advisory firmsTHE FUTURE CONVERSATION FRAMEWORKWhat are you learning here?Who do you see as developing you?Where do you believe you can go in this firm?How do you believe your work matters?How will AI change your role and how will we help you grow with it?REFLECTION QUESTIONS FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAMHow will your next generation talent see a future in your firm that is clear enough they want to be a part of it?Where are you assigning them to work but not developing them?What leadership opportunities can your next generation leaders gain before they receive the leadership title?How will AI make their future role more valuable, not less?What visible career path can you outline this week that clarifies identity, not just compensation?Building the Billion Dollar Business is hosted by Ray Sclafani, Founder and CEO of ClientWise, the financial services industry's leading executive coaching and team development firm for elite advisors and wealth management teams.

Welcome back to The Collision Vision, driven by Autobody News. I'm your host, Cole Strandberg. On a recent episode of the podcast, I sat down with Juan Carlos Gasga Perez, owner of Premier Auto Body and the technician and educator behind Auto Body Strong. We talked about his journey, the evolution of the modern collision technician, and the role that better training, better tools, and better processes play in performing increasingly complex repairs the right way. But there was another part of that conversation that really stood out: the way Juan is helping make the craft of collision repair visible. The response to our content with Juan was incredible, and it raises a bigger question for an industry that spends a lot of time talking about the technician shortage: Are we doing enough to make collision repair a career people actually aspire to? Joining me today to dig into that are Erin Solis and Sheryl Driggers. We'll talk about what stood out from the Juan conversation, how technicians are learning today, and what shops can do to create better pathways for their people to grow. We'll also get into recruiting, retention, mentorship, social media, and how we can do a better job celebrating the skill and craftsmanship that already exists throughout this industry. Because maybe solving the technician shortage isn't only about finding more people. Maybe it starts with building careers people don't want to leave — and showing the next generation why they should want to be here in the first place. Let's get into it.

On the Uplevel Dairy Podcast, Pauly Paul of Complete Management Consulting discusses why many dairy transition plans fail financially even after legal ownership is transferred. As retiring owners depend on the farm as their “401(k)” through monthly, annual, or lump-sum buyouts, the same dairy must also support the next generation's management, added labor layers, and new debt, often amid tight cash flow from low milk prices and weak cropping margins.Pauly describes cases where payroll spikes from added middle management, outside partners gain cattle equity and can destabilize herd size, and families refinance and roll growing lines of credit into the farm, eroding equity and jeopardizing retiree payments. Key recommendations include knowing the financials, keeping retirees engaged through regular reviews, using objective third-party oversight, and holding quarterly multi-generation meetings to determine whether the business is building or consuming equity.This Episode is brought to you by Complete Management ConsultingLearn more about Complete Management Consulting at:www.CompleteManagementConsulting.comcompletemanagementconsulting@gmail.com920-418-313500:00 Can the Farm Afford It01:00 When Transitions Fail02:23 Farm as Retirement Plan03:33 Payroll and Debt Spiral06:40 Why Calls Are Rising09:22 Outside Equity Risks12:51 Third Party Oversight17:17 Know Your Numbers Now19:25 Plan Ahead at 55
In this episode, host Emma Sellers, MS, welcomes Marc Doobay, DMSc, PA-C, DFAAPA, clinical associate professor and director of didactic education for the University of Iowa PA Program, and Gabbi Bullard of the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, to discuss their work through the PAEA PA Student Success Competition. Marc shares how outreach programs like PASS can help introduce young students to healthcare careers while building a sense of visibility, access and belonging, particularly for those who may not otherwise see those careers as attainable. Gabbi discusses her experience helping coordinate a large team of student volunteers and how building on resources created by previous classes helped make the program sustainable. Together, they describe bringing PA students into Iowa City elementary classrooms for hands-on lessons about the heart and brain while introducing children to the PA profession. The conversation also explores the importance of starting with community needs, empowering students to lead and creating programs that can continue long after their original organizers have moved on. PA Path is produced by Association Briefings.
Twenty-five years after September 11th, is America ready for the next generation of threats? House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford joins Newt to discuss the bipartisan task force review of the original 9/11 commission report — what worked, what didn't, and what must be built for the dangers ahead. Crawford warns that the post-9/11 intelligence architecture, designed for counterterrorism, is now facing a threat environment that has expanded far beyond it: AI-guided drone swarms, gray zone warfare, cyberattacks on water treatment facilities, Chinese infiltration of agricultural research institutions, and adversaries who organize not around our bureaucracy but around our vulnerabilities. A former Army bomb disposal technician, Crawford brings a "left of boom" mindset to the conversation — and a stark warning: America cannot afford another failure of imagination.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Five years ago Dr. Sofi first joined Pac Talk. A lot has changed since — for her business, her body, and for Piet too. This episode is a full catch-up covering three big things: how to actually prevent ACL injuries in young athletes, why she's dedicating part of her career to training the next generation of physical therapists, and what it really looks like to balance being a business owner, physical therapist, gym owner, athlete, and wife all at once.Dr. Sofi runs Raw Performance in San Dimas, where roughly 60% of her caseload is kids. She breaks down what she's actually seeing in her clinic — the majority of ACL tears she treats come from soccer and flag football, roughly 75% in female athletes, driven by a combination of overtraining without recovery, inadequate strength training, and in some cases nutrition trends swinging back toward "skinny is better." She also gets into the research connecting hormonal fluctuations during ovulation to increased ligament laxity and ACL risk — an important, underdiscussed piece of the picture for parents of young female athletes.They tackle the biggest myth head-on: that lifting weights stunts a child's growth. It doesn't. Dr. Sofi trains kids as young as four, and the evidence is clear that properly supervised strength training builds resilient tendons, ligaments, and joints — the exact opposite of what old-school thinking assumed.Beyond the clinical side, this episode gets personal. Dr. Sofi opens up about teaching at Azusa Pacific to help train the next generation of PTs, training for the Chicago Marathon while running her own practice, learning to set boundaries with clients, and why choosing to do something that scares you — whether that's a marathon or standing in front of a room of grad students — is exactly what keeps you growing.This one's for parents of young athletes, for anyone juggling multiple roles and wondering how to do it without burning out, and for anyone who believes community and education are just as important as reps in the gym.

This episode explores two important topics for the beef industry: long-term consumer demand for beef and strategies for workforce development. The discussion begins with a listener question about how changing cattle inventories, feed costs, and finishing weights could affect beef quality and consumer demand in the future. The hosts note that while heavier cattle and extended feeding periods have contributed to quality improvements, genetic progress has played an even larger role in maintaining high levels of marbling and eating satisfaction. They emphasize that taste, freshness, safety, and price remain the key drivers of beef demand, making it essential for producers to continue delivering a high-quality product. The group also discusses how shifts in feed costs and cattle numbers may influence production decisions, but they do not expect a dramatic decline in beef quality because of the industry’s long-term genetic improvements and management practices. Food safety and Beef Quality Assurance programs are highlighted as critical components for maintaining consumer trust and protecting demand. The second half of the episode focuses on labor shortages and workforce development in agriculture. Rather than expecting to hire fully trained employees, the hosts encourage producers to view workforce development as an investment, recognizing that inexperienced workers require training, mentorship, and time to become productive. They recommend creating internship or trial opportunities, partnering with organizations such as 4-H and FFA, and focusing on individuals who show enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. The discussion emphasizes that successful workforce development often requires patience, realistic expectations, and a commitment to helping employees build skills over time. Ultimately, the episode concludes that both sustaining beef demand and developing future employees require long-term thinking, continuous improvement, and a willingness to invest in future success.
In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores how AI could impact the development of the next generation of workers and leaders. He considers what happens when entry-level opportunities disappear and connects that concern to the church's responsibility to intentionally disciple and equip those who will lead in the future. Through 2 Timothy 2, we're reminded that investing in the next generation may be slower and messier, but it is essential for the long-term health of the church.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

Trucking says young people don't want to drive trucks. BULLSH*T. They're showing up. The real question is why we keep losing them.... With driver turnover still hammering parts of the industry, trucking keeps searching for the next generation while arguing about recruiting, CDL training, driver pay and a supposed lack of young people willing to work. What if the pipeline isn't actually the biggest problem? What if it's what happens AFTER they enter it? On this episode of Brake Check, Charles sits down with Lindsey Trent, President and Co-Founder of Next Generation in Trucking, and Tim Crawford, Co-Founder and CEO of Tenstreet, to dig into what it will actually take to recruit ... and KEEP .... trucking's next generation. We break down young truck drivers, Gen Z in trucking, CDL training, Workforce Pell, high-school CDL programs, apprenticeships, driver recruiting, onboarding, mentorship, home time and driver retention. Can small trucking companies realistically build relationships with high schools and CDL programs? Who pays the training bill? What happens to 18-to-20-year-old CDL holders who can't run interstate? What does the next generation actually expect from a carrier? And are fleets building careers young people want — or just feeding more drivers into the same turnover machine? Then we turn to the technology side. Tenstreet CEO Tim Crawford joins us to discuss small-fleet technology, carrier verification, fraud prevention, compliance, broker trust and Driver Pulse Fleet — including why legitimate carriers increasingly feel like they're being treated as guilty until proven innocent and what small fleets can do to better prove who they are. We also tackle one uncomfortable question trucking can't avoid:If changing jobs can cost a driver thousands of dollars and they're STILL willing to pay it just to leave your company...what does that say about YOU? The next generation isn't some future trucking problem. THEY'RE ALREADY HERE. Now trucking has to give them a reason to stay. #Trucking #TruckDrivers #GenZ #CDL #CDLTraining #DriverRecruiting #DriverRetention #OwnerOperator #TruckingIndustry #Freight Follow the Brake Check Podcast Other FreightWaves Shows Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the next generation of donors wants to give, but they want giving to feel tangible, convenient, and digital at the same time?As donor expectations continue to evolve, nonprofits have an opportunity to rethink how they engage younger supporters. While online fundraising has made monetary giving easier than ever, physical-item donations and in-kind giving can still be surprisingly difficult to organize, manage, and scale.On this episode of Nonprofit Nation, Julia Campbell sits down with Logan Vaughan, co-founder and CEO of GiftDrive.org, to talk about the changing landscape of donor engagement and what nonprofits need to understand about the way Gen Z and younger millennials want to give.Logan shares the story behind GiftDrive, a platform designed specifically to help nonprofits create online wishlists and donation drives for physical goods. Since launching, GiftDrive has supported more than 55 nonprofit organizations and facilitated more than 5,500 item donations valued at over $60,000. Together, Julia and Logan explore why physical giving resonates with younger donors, where traditional tools like online wishlists fall short, and how technology can make in-kind giving more accessible and effective.In this episode, you'll learn: Why younger donors are increasingly drawn to giving physical items instead of cash How Gen Z and millennials are changing expectations around philanthropy and nonprofit engagement Why tangible giving can feel more accessible and meaningful to younger supporters What younger donors expect when it comes to convenience, transparency, and technology The challenges nonprofits face when managing physical-item donation drives Why consumer tools like Amazon Wish Lists aren't always the best solution for nonprofit organizations How purpose-built technology can make in-kind giving easier to manage and scale The importance of CRM integrations, automated tax receipts, reporting, analytics, and customization What Logan has learned by building GiftDrive alongside the nonprofits it serves How nonprofit leaders can prepare for the next generation of donors About Logan VaughanLogan Vaughan is a senior at the University of Vermont and the co-founder and CEO of GiftDrive.org, a platform that helps nonprofits create wishlists and donation drives to collect physical items from their communities.Since launching, GiftDrive has supported more than 55 nonprofit organizations across the country, facilitating more than 5,500 item donations valued at over $60,000. Logan is passionate about building the nonprofit technology and infrastructure of the future and believes organizations need tools designed around the ways modern donors want to give.

In 2006, a landmark report titled Closing the Gap: Research and Care Imperatives for Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer confirmed what young survivors had been saying for years. While survival rates for children and older adults had steadily improved, adolescents and young adults had experienced decades of stalled progress. They had become cancer's lost generation.This episode explores how young adult survivors transformed their shared isolation into one of the most influential grassroots movements in cancer advocacy. Diagnosed during the years typically devoted to education, careers, relationships, and starting families, patients between the ages of 15 and 39 confronted challenges that extended far beyond treatment. Fertility preservation, sexual health, employment, financial toxicity, insurance, and long-term quality of life were rarely discussed in oncology clinics, leaving many to navigate survivorship alone.The episode follows advocates including Tamika Felder, Lindsay Avner, Heidi Adams, Doug Ulman, and Dr. Archie Bleyer, whose research and advocacy fundamentally changed how medicine understands adolescent and young adult cancer. Through organizations including Planet Cancer, Fertile Hope, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, and later Stupid Cancer, survivors built online communities, educational resources, conferences, and national partnerships that challenged long-standing assumptions about cancer care. Their work helped establish fertility preservation as a standard discussion before treatment, expanded research dedicated to adolescent and young adult oncology, and elevated quality of life as a critical clinical outcome alongside survival.The movement also demonstrated the power of lived experience to reshape medicine. Survivors became researchers, educators, nonprofit founders, and policy advocates, insisting that cancer care account not only for years of life saved, but for the lives patients hoped to build afterward.What began as a search for peers evolved into a national movement that permanently transformed adolescent and young adult oncology. Today, dedicated research programs, clinical fellowships, survivorship resources, and patient advocacy organizations continue to build on the foundation these young cancer mavericks created.RELATED LINKSNational Cancer Institute | Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer ProgramClosing the Gap: Research and Care Imperatives for Adolescents and Young Adults with CancerAmerican Society of Clinical Oncology | Fertility Preservation GuidelinesStupid CancerLivestrong FoundationJournal of Adolescent and Young Adult OncologyFEEDBACKLike this episode?

In this episode, Steph continues the discipleship series by exploring one of the strongest predictors of lasting faith: regular prayer. We know prayer is important, but many parents feel unsure where to begin or worry they aren't "good enough" at praying out loud.In this episode, Steph sits down with author Erica Renaud to talk about how prayer becomes the foundation of a child's relationship with God. Together they discuss practical ways families can incorporate prayer into everyday life, how to move beyond memorized prayers without abandoning them, and how to help children navigate unanswered prayer with trust in God's character.Whether your children are preschoolers, teenagers, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers simple encouragement to help your family grow closer to God through prayer.Resources MentionedWebsitePray With Me bookRaising Prayerful Kids bookThe Creation of UsHands on BibleThe Secret Life of ChristiansPrefer video?
