Episode Summary    Join us for a compelling conversation with Dr. Alexander Villahermosa, a neurosurgery resident at UT Health San Antonio and former 18 Delta Special Forces Medical Sergeant. Motivated by the events of 9/11, he enlisted with an 18 X-ray contract, embarking on a remarkable journey that took him from the battlefield to the operating room. Dr. Villahermosa shares stories from his deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and other austere environments, highlighting how mentorship from military physicians in Balad inspired him to pursue a medical degree.    Dr. Villahermosa provides a candid look at the Enlisted to Medical Degree Program (EMDP2), detailing his experience as part of its second class. He discusses the academic challenges of transitioning from an operational tempo to learning calculus and hard sciences, and how the program's cohort-based support system prepares active-duty soldiers for the rigors of medical school at the Uniformed Services University.   The discussion moves to the intense reality of surgical residency, where days often start at 4:00 AM and involve complex perioperative care. Dr. Villahermosa highlights the unique perspective military training brings to civilian medicine, specifically the ability to operate without advanced navigation technology—a skill emphasized by military mentors who understand downrange limitations. He also shares insights on "expectation management" regarding physical fitness while maintaining a grueling training schedule.   Finally, Dr. Villahermosa reflects on leadership lessons learned while rising from the rank of Master Sergeant to Captain, emphasizing that mentorship and staying humble are keys to success. He concludes with a crucial medical takeaway for combat medics: the best brain care starts with the basics of airway, respiration, and circulation as outlined in TCCC guidelines.     Chapters (00:00-06:00) From Enlistment to Special Forces Medic (06:00-19:30) The Path to Medical School and EMDP2 (19:30-28:30) Choosing Neurosurgery and Residency Reality (28:30-33:00) Military vs. Civilian Surgical Training (33:00-39:40) Leadership, Advice, and TBI Care   Chapter Summaries (00:00-06:00) From Enlistment to Special Forces Medic Dr. Villahermosa describes enlisting after 9/11 with the initial intent of joining the infantry, only to switch to an 18X contract to avoid a long wait for basic training. He recounts his deployments to Iraq and how mentorship from a group surgeon and an anesthesiologist in Balad first sparked his interest in becoming a physician. (06:00-19:30) The Path to Medical School and EMDP2 This section covers the process of completing undergraduate prerequisites through the Enlisted to Medical Degree Program (EMDP2), including the challenges of mastering mathematics and hard sciences. Dr. Villahermosa explains how the program's cohort system and partnership with the Uniformed Services University provided the structure and support necessary for success. (19:30-28:30) Choosing Neurosurgery and Residency Reality Initially uninterested in surgery, Dr. Villahermosa describes falling in love with the specialty during a third-year clerkship after being fascinated by spine and trauma cases. He details the daily grind of residency, which involves early mornings, long hours, and the need to seize small windows of time for physical fitness and self-care. (28:30-33:00) Military vs. Civilian Surgical Training The discussion focuses on the specific mindset instilled by military neurosurgeons, such as the ability to perform spine surgery using anatomic landmarks rather than relying solely on advanced navigation systems. This training ensures readiness for deployed environments where high-tech equipment may not be available or functional. (33:00-39:40) Leadership, Advice, and TBI Care Dr. Villahermosa reflects on the importance of humility and teamwork, noting that, regardless of rank or experience, there is always something to learn from others. He concludes by emphasizing that the best initial care for traumatic brain injury is adherence to TCCC protocols, specifically preventing hypotension and hypoxia.   Take Home Messages The Power of Mentorship: Career paths are often significantly altered by leaders who take the time to invest in their subordinates and encourage them to pursue higher goals. Dr. Villahermosa's journey to medical school began specifically because a group surgeon and an anesthesiologist took him under their wing during a combat deployment. Leaders should actively identify and encourage potential in those they lead, as this support can fundamentally change the trajectory of a service member's life. Back to Basics for Brain Injury: The most effective initial treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) lies in the fundamental principles of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). Preventing secondary brain injury caused by hypotension and hypoxia is critical, meaning that controlling hemorrhage and managing the airway are the best ways to protect the brain in the pre-hospital setting. Providers should trust these protocols rather than feeling helpless without advanced neurosurgical capabilities, as stabilizing the patient's physiology is the first step in saving the brain. Operating in Austere Environments: While modern civilian neurosurgery often relies on advanced navigation technology and robotics, military surgeons must maintain the skill to operate using anatomic landmarks. Dr. Villahermosa highlights that downrange environments may lack functional high-tech equipment, making it essential to master manual techniques for spine and brain procedures. This training approach ensures that military surgeons remain adaptable and can deliver life-saving care regardless of the resources available in the field. Resilience Through Expectation Management: Surviving a demanding residency program or rigorous military training requires adjusting one's expectations regarding fitness and rest. Rather than waiting for large blocks of free time that may never come, trainees must learn to seize small, available moments for self-care, whether that is a short fifteen-minute run or catching up on sleep. Taking advantage of these brief breaks when they present themselves is crucial for maintaining long-term physical and mental performance when the schedule is unpredictable. Humility and Teamwork in Leadership: Success in high-stakes environments like the military and medicine demands humility and the recognition that no single person knows everything. Dr. Villahermosa emphasizes that rank and experience do not preclude the need to learn from others, including the newest members of the team who may bring fresh perspectives. Acknowledging one's role within the larger mission fosters a collaborative environment that improves patient outcomes and ensures the job gets done effectively.   Episode Keywords special forces medic, green beret, neurosurgery resident, military medicine, combat medic, trauma surgery, medical school, emdp2, enlisted to medical degree, uniformed services university, 18 delta, surgical training, traumatic brain injury, TCCC, tactical combat casualty care, military podcast, veteran stories, medical career, doctor journey, Brooke Army Medical Center, UT health San Antonio, neurosurgeon training, army special operations, combat veteran, medicine podcast, army doctor   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine   The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

In the fog-shrouded streets of 1880s Leiden, a woman everyone called "Good Mary" brought food to the sick, consoled the grieving, and prepared the dead for burial. For three years, she was the angel of her neighborhood—the trusted caregiver who helped when no one else would. No one suspected that the porridge she served was laced with arsenic. No one questioned why so many of her patients died. Until a doctor noticed somethingMaria Swanenburg's victims included 27 confirmed deaths among the most vulnerable members of Victorian Leiden's working-class community. Among them were her own parents—Johanna Dingjan and Clemens Swanenburg—murdered for whatever meager inheritance they might leave. Two young sisters died while Maria babysat them, followed by attempted poisonings of six mourners at their wake, including their pregnant mother.The Frankhuizen family lost three members: Maria Frankhuizen, her infant son, and her husband Hendrik, whose agonizing final days would ultimately expose the killer. Elderly neighbors who trusted Maria with their care, relatives who welcomed her help, and community members who saw her as Goeie Mie—"Good Mary"—all fell victim to her arsenic-laced kindness. Another 45 survivors lived with permanent health damage, many walking Leiden's streets on crutches for the rest of their lives.Between 1880 and 1883, Maria Swanenburg systematically poisoned at least 102 people in Leiden, Netherlands, killing 27 and permanently disabling dozens more. Operating in disease-ridden working-class neighborhoods where cholera deaths were common, she exploited the era's limited medical knowledge and the community's trust in her caregiving reputation.Maria purchased arsenic from multiple pharmacies across Leiden—ostensibly for pest control—accumulating lethal quantities without raising suspicion. She poisoned her victims through food and drink while nursing them, then collected on small life insurance policies she'd secretly taken out. When victims displayed symptoms of violent gastric distress, doctors assumed cholera or typhoid. When they died, Maria helped prepare their bodies for burial and consoled grieving families.Her downfall came in December 1883 when Dr. Wijnand Rutgers van der Loeff connected multiple patients with identical symptoms to one common factor: all had been under Maria Swanenburg's care.The Investigation: Dr. van der Loeff's suspicions led police to arrest Maria on December 15, 1883. When searched, she carried multiple insurance policies in her pockets—policies taken out on people currently under her care. Authorities exhumed thirteen bodies from Leiden cemeteries; all tested positive for arsenic.The Trial: Proceedings began April 23, 1885, drawing national attention. Medical experts explained how arsenic accumulated in victims' tissues. Family members testified about their loved ones' rapid deterioration under Maria's care. Throughout, she maintained an eerily calm demeanor, claiming she was being framed.The Verdict: On May 1, 1885, Maria Swanenburg was convicted of three murders from the Frankhuizen family case—though prosecutors had evidence for 27 deaths. She became the first woman in Dutch history to receive a life sentence.The Sentence: Maria was sent to Gorinchem Correctional Facility, where she died on April 11, 1915, at age 75, having served thirty years.Victorian Leiden provided the perfect hunting ground for a poisoner. The textile industry had drawn workers into overcrowded slums where families of ten lived in cramped cottages with earthen floors, no sanitation, and no ventilation. Cholera, typhoid, and tuberculosis killed regularly. Child mortality was staggeringly high. Doctors rarely visited poor districts because residents couldn't pay.In this environment, additional deaths barely registered. Arsenic was legally sold in pharmacies for pest control with minimal regulation—no questions asked, no records kept. The poison was tasteless, odorless, and produced symptoms indistinguishable from endemic diseases without expensive chemical analysis that the poor could never afford.Maria's role as a community caregiver—taking in elderly boarders, nursing the sick, preparing bodies for burial—gave her unlimited access to vulnerable victims and made suspicion seem impossible. She was Goeie Mie. Good Mary. The angel.Primary research for this episode draws from Dutch criminal archives and the work of historian Stefan Glasbergen, whose book on Maria Swanenburg provides crucial contemporary documentation including court testimony and neighborhood accounts.The case fundamentally changed Dutch law. Following Maria's conviction, the Netherlands implemented strict regulations on arsenic sales, requiring pharmacies to maintain detailed purchase records and verify legitimate need. Dutch law enforcement developed standardized protocols for investigating suspicious deaths and recognizing serial murder patterns.The Swanenburg case became a cornerstone study in criminal investigation training throughout Europe, demonstrating how serial killers exploit community trust and institutional blind spots to operate undetected for years.For those interested in exploring this case further:The Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden maintains records from the Victorian eraDutch National Archives hold original court documents from the 1885 trialAcademic studies on Victorian-era poisoning cases and forensic toxicology developmentMaria Swanenburg's victims trusted her completely. She was their neighbor, their caregiver, their friend. In the fog-shrouded slums of Victorian Leiden, the angel of the neighborhood was actually its deadliest predator—and the 45 survivors on crutches walked as permanent reminders of her betrayal.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into the exciting, yet challenging, landscape of gene therapies and their potential to revolutionize healthcare. Recent scientific advancements have pushed the boundaries of what's possible, offering potential lifetime cures for diseases once considered incurable. However, this breakthrough comes with a significant economic caveat: the staggering cost of these therapies, often ranging between $3 to $4 million per patient. This price tag presents a formidable challenge to current healthcare infrastructures.The disconnect between these innovative treatments and existing payment systems is evident in what industry experts term the "$4 million payment problem." Therapies like Lenmeldy and Hemgenix highlight this issue. Lenmeldy, for instance, can prevent metachromatic leukodystrophy with a single infusion priced at $4.25 million, while Hemgenix offers a cure for hemophilia B at $3.5 million. These therapies effectively convert lifelong treatment costs into a singular, substantial payment, challenging traditional insurance models that are built to spread costs over time.The primary obstacle is not the efficacy of these treatments but rather the financial and logistical infrastructures needed to support them. The current insurance model is ill-equipped to handle such large, one-time payments. Employers who often provide health insurance face a dilemma: investing millions in curing an employee who might leave the company shortly after receiving treatment could result in significant financial risk and disincentivizes employers from covering such therapies.Enter Aradigm Health, which has emerged as a potential solution to this conundrum. Aradigm aims to create an "infrastructure layer" specifically for these high-cost cures. With $20 million in funding backing their initiative, Aradigm seeks to pool financial risk across multiple employers, thus mitigating the impact of substantial individual claims. Their model involves employers contributing a fixed monthly fee into a shared fund that covers these expensive treatments when needed. This approach distributes financial volatility across a broader base rather than placing it on individual employers.Aradigm's strategy is not only about financial solutions but also about streamlining logistical complexities associated with delivering gene therapies. Their patient journey management includes coordinating with biotech companies for manufacturing schedules, arranging travel and accommodation for patients and families, and ensuring seamless insurance paperwork handling. This comprehensive support system reduces barriers that often delay or disrupt treatment delivery.Operating as a public benefit corporation with a "cost-plus" model, Aradigm ensures that any surplus from lower-than-expected claims is returned to employers rather than kept as profit. This aligns incentives towards patient care rather than profit maximization. Their approach highlights a critical need within the biotech and pharmaceutical industries: developing adaptable infrastructures that align with rapid scientific advancements.Meanwhile, Amgen has secured significant ground in 2023 with its second FDA approval for Uplizna in treating generalized myasthenia gravis—a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by varying degrees of skeletal muscle weakness. Uplizna's mechanism involves targeting CD19 on B cells implicated in autoimmune diseases' pathogenesis. This expansion marks an advancement in therapeutic options for patients and underscores Amgen's growing footprint in treating complex autoimmune conditions.GlaxoSmithKline has also made headlines with Blujepa, marking it as the first new class of antibiotics for gonorrhea in over three decades while receiving approval for treating uncomplicSupport the show

I, sir, I honor you my proxy And what will with what you make take of that, my beast and brawn affronted; That to no matter to which I may stand as though offered to the Gods, I am at bare my force and wary feast upon thy eyes as swarms, And then to no may have you since! I am at all, my eye, your arm, And hallowed crucifix! CHAOS shatters into a FIRE of FEATHERED fury and precedent mercury of volcanic embering magma and sparse clouds of silver and gold, while though first bleeding from the mouth he is engulfed in flame at once, becoming not unlike the Phoenix, a galaxy into his own forever escaping and never ending realms. Ahhh, you're right. YO WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST SEE? That's ludicrous! ah huh, I know, right. You took all that? Yep. {Enter The Multiverse} Sire, Your honor. I am bound. I have been forged. The crown. Certainly. Your high marks! Aye… You've been betrayed. …To no doubt. I am obliged to confront, your majesty, at all hours and in this your fortress— —your honor— And Chaos, that this, though there be your throne, Cannot bear weight of rock and stone to rebel archer, That which I am tied to seek, dear honor, Your vary mercy that there I, Here too, am slain! Damn. Creep shit, huh. Yeah. Why does Colbert get all the best parts?! Because he's capable of reading these types of monologues from cue cards! That circuit. He has a bigger cause than you know. [Redacted] It wasn't that I thought I was actively being watched, but more along the lines of knowing for a Friday, my mind wouldn't drift elsewhere and upward beyond, to the sixth, seventh, 8th or 15th floors— or whatever other crazy shit was apparently above them. Secret places I knew of and often thought about, but not too hard. It boggled my mind what was beyond and out of focus from the lower realms of New York, where it was dark and often dirty and hurtful to even wander. My breaths became deep and hollow; They won't turn your face to you, But they will burn through your whole world, wanting you undone Following sealing knives, half have no concious And tethered tongues— This is Levels, Watch us This is Levels, On your mark, This is levels, Christ conscious, This is Levels, Boats on the dock, Storm water, Pure thoughts of harm, But also luck, Drifting in that same water, Ducks, Not known in here our land, or others. You are no longer closer nor called for what you want It doesn't get that much more simple, nor more complex It doesn't get less disheveled than ‘anyway.' I suffer surface just to suffice this sauna trap It doesn't get any less leveled that two tall towers, September 11th. It doesn't get differentiated or dismissed, either, Without press involvement You got to love an easy bake oven and a handful of drama; You've got to love the plausible options for objections and motions to show cause You have got to love old folks and hard laughs, got to! You've got to love the cosmos for at least trying to show us God back, Though god turned back on us a month ago, Or so it was written More hard times And more cold half's And limbs lost, and marks and mauve and cranberry fortunes. More dusks and more dawns and more mortals but no heart left; No call to arms if you were worn backwards for your half. Now time for the calm but the ball bearings not lose but close hard down when you tip the nose up not to dive but force up the wheels as lifting planes does but you are donuts and dusk and dawn, and you are clutching stones in pockets, Four for corners of those the rock has, And that, North south, East west, And these days give gratitude, For wire stakes and high makes this time for more time deaf authors, Still no mortal walk has I, And still indifference to her call, my fortune is in death which may be cause to no one to suffer, As I have not love, And I have not friends, And I have not bonded and therefore this betrayal from where there speaks my meadow and assault have again lied, as devil does against all time. And so I smile, there, and welcome death, form withered birds did wander and then, before my eyes evolved to dust which then did sparkle, And there setting into scattered grains of sand. For which her shores were thought of, not as birds, but sure enough as rocks to till and thunder; And magnanimous waves you did there found I, Making graves and also these as caves, and banks, and ways to think her mazes as a construct. So now there, you are conformed, And all but may you came to offer. So there then shall tipping this and waves had planted oceans from my martyrs, And so again I called to brothers and also the fathers formed, as I had thought to know, these times and others as a motion [to show cause] So shattered banks and blanks my checkbook, scattered eyes though blue have yet been battered black and darkened; And also that became of which her office was unboxed, there was no work there, For her thoughts had caused the forests and winds to suffer from her art, therefore. There is no homeland, now or here or either, Shall I wonder? And then frayed her mark and also frayed this flag did fly for shame and horror. So there, did also Chaos sit and lack and gripping rope upon there crosses, also did my eye to mind, Him to a rope, but had departed. So I watched him hang from the noose, Though loosened grasp from known the ballet dancer, also then became the rabbit This of past and present. Ah, Fuck with me. I want you to. Aye aye. What is his power? Just wait for it… I don't think this is what you want it to— Just wait. Just listen? Listen to what? The man is just— blabbering. The cadence in his voice though; it's a rhythm. What, The cadence! In his voice— Mm. McDonald's. Okay?! But why are you saying—? Wait a minute. Wait what?! Play the tape back, and boost the audio. What for. Just do it, Mark. This costs a fortune and he's taking up all of our— THE MAN IN THE BOX has exploded. — time. What just happened. I told you he would do it. And we missed it. I don't get it. Where is he?

He exploded into a fireball of feathers and— whatever this is— what is it?! It appears to be volcanic ash, sir. WHAT?! I'm moving backwards, forwards, backwards— forward time and time is dust from now on, I am in the end of my shattered and half lived life, Though bonded body to not my soul, which seeks not love and light, the morsels of the marker of my kind, And this to fill my aching desire to—- — now you've gotta run.

Oh shitsauce, what in the fuck is going on! I may have had to stop and think for a moment ‘Where the fuck was I going?” The problem was I knew I already had the answer, and it was “Nowhere, fast.” Maybe even faster than ever. That hollow pit inside my stomach was calm now because most of all, I wasn't on the subway, I was on autopilot somewhere way far off from my body. Train me not, For this I die as one and always Sure to come for what is known and also for my martyr.

Socumopolus Open On The Operating Table. Symposium, 2025/2026 TBA -Ū. Prod. By Blū Tha Gürū Symposium is a concept album that reinterprets the ancient Greek tradition of philosophical dialogue for the modern age. Taking its name from Plato's seminal text, which structured profound conversations about Love (Eros) as a series of distinct speeches, this album presents a series of intense, mythic narratives—the tracks—that each serve as a unique speech on the nature of consciousness, suffering, and transcendence. The album's unconventional structure, with initial tracks sporting double titles (e.g., forgetmenots.//follow through.), reflects the complex philosophical dualism explored throughout the work—the conflict between the body and the mind, the real and the dream, the past and the imperative to move forward. Each long-form track is a deep dive into an extreme mental state, an attempt to define the core truth of existence through an absurd or heightened reality. [Socumopolus Open On the Operating Table] This track is a visceral representation of the album's Platonic core. It is a grueling philosophical thought experiment set to music made to be experienced as though sifting through a gallery; as interpretive art rather than festival minded electronic dance music. ‘Socumolopus' opens in the uncomfortable and disjointed stairway of becoming undone at the midst of a medical mercy— unable to move or act with the understanding and awareness of a total loss of autonomy and control. A complete paralysis, but not of thought. Socumopolus Open On the Operating Table tells the story of a man undergoing high-risk, life-saving surgery. Due to a failure in anesthesia, he is trapped in a state of conscious paralysis—unable to alert the surgeons, yet fully aware as the operation unfolds. Indeed he reaches a certain purgatory of sorts and a certain death, as he becomes outward of himself enough to realize he knows nothing of this self, even his own name which he is called. He is now only Socumopolus. He is forced to watch his own body being opened, simultaneously experiencing the surgery from the table and from an out-of-body perspective above., however, once the initial shock of the blood and gore of his organs unraveling on the table before him, he drifts between lucid galaxies and worlds, traveling beyond all known time. His consciousness drifts in a purgatory spanning what is hours, but is rather eons in his own unaligned infinite outer consciousness, mingling the visceral reality of the operating room with non-sequitur dreams and the background noise of the hospital's televisions, and in and out of worlds alike; but also unknown. Symposium: A Concept Theory The track is a direct musical translation of Plato's Dualism—the belief that the mind/soul is separate from the physical body. [The Body] The character's physical being is the object of suffering (the operating table), imperfect and subject to the knife. [The Soul] His consciousness detaches, viewing the scene from above—this is the transcendent perspective, attempting to find "The Form of Truth" outside the confines of the suffering body. The character's hours-long, suspended state—neither fully alive nor dead, neither fully conscious nor dreaming—is the album's metaphor for the Ladder of Ascent in the Symposium. He is stuck in the intermediate steps, struggling between the earthly, mortal reality and the potential for a higher, purer vision, while the surrounding hospital noise and fragmented dreams represent the strange, sometimes absurd "speeches" (like Aristophanes' myth) that interrupt the pursuit of ultimate truth. In Socumopolus Open On the Operating Table, the operating room becomes the stage for a private, intense symposium on what it means to be aware when the self is literally dismantled. The surreality is not in the musicality, but the concept of the artwork itself, which reads most like an awkward statue or sculpture stationed distinctly in the way of a place you least expected, or perhaps even dead-center your normal course. It blocks the path with the cause to force you to think of creating an alternate route, or to travel or explore beyond what is familiar or known— or perhaps— just to force you to think at all when you may suppose the rest can just be turned off, as you cross out or autopilot and into a newfound structure for your own immortal cause.

In this episode of the Thread Podcast, Justin talks with Tyler Will, VP of GTM Strategy & Ops at Intercom, about how modern revenue organizations are evolving in an era defined by AI, PLG-to-enterprise transitions, and go-to-market speed.Tyler shares his journey from economic consulting and Bain, to GTM leadership at LinkedIn, to now scaling RevOps at Intercom. He breaks down the key differences between operating at a 20,000-person giant and a high-velocity SaaS company, why balancing PLG and enterprise sales motions requires intentional system and process design, and how Intercom rebuilt its routing, sales assist, and pricing guardrails to accelerate ACVs and bring clarity back to the customer journey.The conversation digs into how AI is reshaping selling—not by replacing reps, but by giving them time back. From auto-generating QBR decks to enriching data behind the scenes, Tyler explains why AI actually makes sales more human, not less. He also shares why the next generation of RevOps talent will shift from narrow specialists to curious generalists who leverage AI, understand the full GTM workflow, and act as true co-owners of the business.This is a high-signal episode for anyone thinking about PLG evolution, GTM design, AI-powered sales, and how RevOps must evolve to meet the moment.Chapters00:00 — Intro + Tyler's Background Justin sets up the episode; Tyler shares his path from consulting and Bain to LinkedIn to Intercom.02:00 — Early Career Lessons: From Consulting to GTM How economic consulting and strategy work shaped Tyler's analytical and leadership approach.03:30 — Operating at Scale: LinkedIn vs. Intercom Why large enterprise GTM is committee-driven, and how smaller SaaS companies require speed, adaptability, and influence without authority.06:00 — PLG, Sales-Led, and the Middle Ground How Intercom balances self-serve PLG customers with enterprise sales—and why a “Sales Assist” motion has become critical.08:30 — Redesigning Routing, Guardrails & ACV Growth How simplifying and separating motions helped Intercom lift sales-led logos and drive higher ACVs.10:45 — AI as an Amplifier, Not a Replacement Why AI frees reps from low-value tasks (QBR decks, data cleanup) and makes room for more human selling.13:20 — The Real Risk: Overvaluing Human Busywork Why reps aren't losing points for doing things manually—and why AI should elevate the conversation, not eliminate the human.15:00 — The Future of RevOps Careers Why RevOps is shifting from specialists to generalists who use AI, understand systems, and act like business owners.18:00 — What RevOps Leaders Should Learn Next Tyler's advice to aspiring operators—how to become more valuable by being curious across the entire GTM ecosystem.19:30 — Closing Thoughts + Intercom Hiring Tyler encourages RevOps pros to embrace the field and shape the future; Justin wraps the conversation.

Episode 94 of Astonishing Healthcare features two members of our product team, Liya Lomsadze (Sr. Director) and Jake Mulkey (Director), who explain how building a next-generation pharmacy claim adjudication system (Judi®), known for its split-second accuracy and streamlined workflows, served as the perfect foundation for building a unified platform that now includes medical claims, and will integrate vision and dental, too. Liya and Jake explain the contrast between pharmacy's real-time nature and medical's weeks-or-months-long lag, and how this gap impacts the experience for members and providers of care. The discussion covers the challenges behind supporting complex plan designs, opportunities around automating prior authorizations with real clinical data, and benefits of reducing manual interventions that slow down or interfere with care coordination. Liya and Jake also share stories about launch day, lessons learned from pharmacy claim adjudication, and their vision for a real-time future with integrated benefits. This episode is a must listen for anyone interested in how enterprise health technology can improve health benefit administration and focus resources on what's most important: plan members' experience and improving health outcomes.Related ContentReplay – The Bridge to Better Healthcare: Uniting Medical and Pharmacy Services on One Platform to Achieve Value-Based CareAH080 - Health Benefits 101: The Importance of "Smart" Care Navigation, with Andy KageleiryMedicare Transition Benefits & How Judi®'s Modern Design Enables Faster Results and Reliable ComplianceHealth Benefits 101: The Importance of Clinical ProgramsThis Startup Hit A $3.25 Billion Valuation Building Software To Fix Drug Pricing (Forbes)For more information about Capital Rx and this episode, please visit Judi Health - Insights.

In the latest episode of Automotive Fleet on the Move, recorded at Holman Drive in Miami Beach, Chris Brown sits down with Ed Powell, director of consulting services at Holman, to take stock of the fleet environment as the industry moves into 2026. Powell describes the moment as a mix of stability and continued disruption: ordering has normalized, but cost pressures, tariffs, and talent shortages remain in play.Used-vehicle values are also firming again as new-vehicle prices climb past $50,000 and tight model-year supply continues to constrain the pipeline. Powell expects 2026 to bring further stabilization and possibly increases in resale values. He also stresses that technology and communication will be critical tools for navigating another potentially turbulent year.Key Takeaways:• Ordering and allocations have stabilized, but tariffs and parts inflation continue to push repair costs higher.• Operating-cost inflation is easing from recent peaks but remains well above pre-pandemic norms.• Used-vehicle prices are rebounding as new-vehicle MSRPs hit record highs and late-model supply stays thin.• 2026 could bring modest resale-value increases as lease returns normalize.• AI tools, PM compliance tech, and embedded safety systems offer the strongest near-term ROI.• Fleet managers should expand planning horizons and communicate early to manage rising KPIs and budget risk.

PREVIEW — Clare Jackson — Prince Charles and the Duke of Buckingham's Secret Spanish Bride Mission. Jacksondetails an "extraordinary" historical episode wherein Prince Charles and the Duke of Buckingham, operating under the transparent disguises of "Jack" and "Tom Smith," clandestinely traveled to Spain to negotiate a Catholic marriage alliance and secure a bride for the English royal succession, thereby resolving sectarian religious conflicts between Protestant England and Catholic Spain. Jackson documents that this dramatic act defied fundamental diplomatic etiquette and negotiation protocols, shocking Spanish royal authorities and effectively imprisoning the English princes in Madrid for approximately six months while political fallout ensued, representing a rare instance of direct royal intervention in diplomatic negotiations transcending conventional ambassadorial channels.

In this country, health outcomes are too often dictated by your ZIP code, but one company is working very hard to fix those inequities.Demond Martin, is the CEO and co-founder of WellWithAll, a health and wellness company dedicated to advancing health equity for underserved communities. Operating under ‘inclusive capitalism', WellWithAll reinvests 20% of its profits into health initiatives tailored to specific community needs, tackling health disparities, and ensuring a targeted approach to wellness.Before WellWithAll, Demond was a senior partner at Adage Capital Management, where he invested in the consumer sector for 21 years. Earlier in his career, he served in the Clinton administration, and he has served on numerous nonprofit boards, including the Berkeley College of Music, The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the Obama Foundation. Today, we get into what WellWithAll does, how they're giving back to the community, and Demond's journey from a trailer in North Carolina to CEO of this incredible company.Highlights:Demond's background (2:21)Stories from the White House (3:50)Working at a hedge fund (5:58)Lessons about investing (8:32)The origins of WellWithAll (11:42)Health inequities (13:54)How WellWithAll has evolved (15:08)Getting in with large retailers (17:08)Sources of funding (18:57)The Obama Foundation (20:19)A career in politics?

We love this conversation about how we get stuck in habits because of being on autopilot, and how we might need to develop new habits. How can we change? Why might we need to change? Join us for this one!

Are you leading with the assumption that your team is operating from a place of psychological safety? The reality might shock you. Recent research reveals that 80% of workplace professionals have experienced trauma that directly impacts how they show up at work—and most leaders have no idea it's happening. What happens when that high-performing employee suddenly becomes reactive during feedback sessions? Or when your most talented team member can't seem to engage during meetings? Elizabeth Vahey Smith, COO of TCK Training and trauma-informed care practitioner, has spent over a decade researching how unprocessed experiences shape workplace behavior, and the findings will change how you think about leadership entirely. From her base in Vietnam, where she's currently traveling through her 27th country with her family, Elizabeth brings a unique perspective on how global mobility, cultural transitions, and everyday workplace interactions can create lasting impacts on our nervous systems. Her research shows that while "big T" traumas like natural disasters rarely trigger workplace responses, it's the "little t" traumas, those moments that make us feel helpless or unsafe, that create the biggest leadership challenges. In this conversation, Elizabeth reveals why that simple phrase "we need to talk" sends so many employees into panic mode, and how leaders can make tiny pivots that completely transform team dynamics. She shares the difference between cultural adaptation and trauma response, and explains why some of your most valuable employees might be operating in survival mode while appearing to be your top performers. Here are 5 key insights you can expect from this episode on building psychologically safe, high-performing teams: The 80% reality check - Why most of your team is likely carrying workplace trauma and how it's showing up in ways you haven't recognized. Big T versus little T trauma - How to distinguish between major life events and the accumulated experiences that actually create the most workplace triggers. Curiosity-led conversations - A powerful framework for starting difficult discussions that builds trust instead of triggering defensive responses. Cultural adaptation versus trauma response - How to identify whether employee reactions stem from cultural differences or deeper safety concerns. The hidden cost of hyper-vigilance - Why your most productive employees might be heading toward burnout and how to intervene before it's too late. If you've ever wondered why some team members seem to overreact to normal workplace situations, or if you're a globally mobile professional trying to understand your own responses to leadership and change, this conversation provides both the research and the practical tools you need. Elizabeth's work proves that trauma-informed leadership isn't just compassionate. It's strategic, profitable, and essential for building the kinds of teams where people actually want to stay and grow. 00:00:00The Hidden Reality of Workplace Trauma 00:02:58From Papua New Guinea to Global Leadership 00:07:19Understanding Big T vs Little T Trauma at Work 00:11:59Building Psychological Safety Through Curiosity 00:15:56Trauma vs Cultural Differences in the Workplace 00:19:55The Unexpected Benefits of Trauma Experience 00:26:52Preventing Burnout Through Recovery Skills 00:30:27Research Insights on Workplace Psychological Safety 00:37:34Managing Fear-Based Leadership and Dark Triad Personalities 00:42:29Connecting with Trauma-Informed Leadership Resources including her book Trauma-Informed Leadership Connect with us: https://www.aworldofdifferencepodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Interview with Peter Secker, CEO of Canyon ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/canyon-resources-asxcay-fast-tracking-worlds-largest-high-grade-bauxite-development-7892Recording date: 5th December 2025Canyon Resources (ASX:CAY) is advancing rapidly toward mid-2026 production at its Minim Martap bauxite project in Cameroon, executing one of the mining industry's most compressed development timelines. The company has progressed from mining license approval in late 2024 to full development mode, with all major equipment ordered and financing secured.The project's economics are compelling: a pre-tax net present value exceeding $800 million, 29% internal rate of return, and modest capital costs of just $97 million to first production. Operating costs of $35 per ton position Minim Martap competitively in the global market, particularly given the premium-grade ore quality of 51% alumina with less than 2% silica. This quality commands a $10 premium over Guinea's standard pricing, translating to margins of $25-30 per ton at current market prices of approximately $81-82 per ton.CEO Peter Secker emphasized the project's market timing: "Chinese demand for bauxite is strong. Guinea obviously have a few problems with some decisions they've made recently. So everybody is looking for an alternate source of bauxite and Minim Martap coming on stream mid next year. Perfect timing."The development's critical path centers on rail infrastructure. Locomotives ordered from China will arrive in February 2026, with commissioning in March to enable ore hauling by April. The mining contractor, experienced in African bauxite operations, mobilizes in January. Initial production of 2 million tons annually will scale dramatically to 10 million tons by 2031 as World Bank-funded rail upgrades totaling $820 million are completed, potentially generating $200 million in annual free cash flow.Canyon has also raised equity to increase its Camrail stake from 9% to over 30%, seeking operational control over the critical 800-kilometer rail corridor to the Port of Douala. As Cameroon's first major mining project, Minim Martap benefits from strong government support and first-mover advantages in an emerging jurisdiction with significant mineral potential across multiple commodities.View Canyon Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/canyon-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Graham Christie and the Specter of Militarism: Colleague Charles Spicer profiles Graham Christie, a decorated WWI aviator and engineer whose background allowed him to befriend Hermann Göring, operating as an agent for Robert Vansittart, the anti-appeasement head of the Foreign Office, forming a "private detective agency" to gather intelligence; while the British protagonists continued to engage with the Nazis after the 1935 Nuremberg Rally and the shock of the Nuremberg Laws, they were privately appalled by the regime's antisemitism yet felt compelled to maintain contact to monitor German rearmament. 1933

What turns a kid from Brooklyn into a leader who builds and rebuilds big businesses, then starts over again by choice? Meet Mike Tepedino, Founder and Managing Partner of Blue Light Capital, whose path runs from six gritty years in loan workouts on the “what can go wrong” side of real estate became the foundation for everything that followed.We get into the leap to brokerage, the Chinese-restaurant meeting that set up HFF's rise, and the 2019 sale to JLL for about $2 billion, where scale brought new tools and reach but also a fresh look at purpose and timing.Now Mike is building again with Blue Light Capital, stepping into an underserved middle-market bridge space in the roughly $15 to $50 million range, and pairing that with BLNext, a nonprofit that trains college and pro athletes for real estate careers with 150 hours of Excel and Argus plus one-to-one mentors who have walked the path.If you care about discipline, people, and timing, this conversation delivers hard lessons and practical wisdom with zero fluff.

De beursgang van OpenAI is aanstaande, maar het bedrijf wordt mogelijk ingehaald door een concurrent. AI-reus Anthropic maakt zich klaar voor een beursgang. Volgens de Financial Times heeft het bedrijf een advocatenkantoor in de arm genomen die dat moet regelen. Dat betekent voor aartsrivaal OpenAI hoor je in deze aflevering. We duiken ook op Eutelsat. Dat moest dé Europese concurrent van Starlink worden, het satellietbedrijf van Elon Musk. Beleggers hadden daar dit voorjaar nog het volste vertrouwen in: toen schoot het aandeel liefst 600 procent omhoog. Maar de Japanse investeerder Softbank zegt nu het vertrouwen op: ze verkopen de helft van hun belang. Met hun nog veel meer beleggers, want van die stijging in maart is weinig meer over. Of Eutelsat óóit nog in de buurt komt van Starlink, gaan we bespreken. Vertellen we je ook nog over de spijkerbroekenoorlog die gaande is in de Verenigde Staten. American Eagle, Levi Strauss en GAP halen alles en iedereen uit de kast om klanten te trekken. Spotjes met actrice Sydney Sweeney, zelfs een Levi's-liedje van Beyoncé: bedrijven trekken er miljoenen voor uit. En je hoort waarom de topman van een Nederlands biotechbedrijf een bonus van 205 miljoen euro op zijn bankrekening mag bijschrijven. De op één na grootste beloning voor een bestuurder van een Nederlands bedrijf ooit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Believers are God's children. Knowing who we are impacts our daily living in everything concerning us as well as how we should see ourselves. We're no longer our old selves, but are now righteous, redeemed, holy, and perfect in Christ. Believing this changes the way we think, which in turn changes our behavior for the better. Because of what God did, we can now dispense with struggling through self-effort to become what we already are right now and simply embrace it.   To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org

For the final episode in our mini series on the rich maritime history of Malta Dr Sam Willis and Daisy Turnbull find themselves out in a boat in Valletta's grand harbour, and this time we're being treated to a culinary extravaganza: a meal that would have been eaten by Maltese corsairs. The Matese corsairs were a major ingredient in Maltese maritime history and cultural identity, embodying the island's strategic role at the crossroads of the Mediterranean. Operating from Malta under the Knights of St. John, Maltese corsairs defended Christian shipping, disrupted Ottoman and North African naval power, and contributed to the island's economy through privateering. Their exploits shaped Malta's seafaring identity, blending military duty with maritime entrepreneurship, and left a lasting legacy in the island's naval traditions and coastal fortifications. In this episode we experience a unique slant on this tale and are treated to a feast laid on by Taste History, a venture operated by Heritage Malta which offers food from the age of the enlightenment. Taste History offers culinary experiences that bring historical food and menus back to life using archival documents (recipe books, kitchen inventories, butcher bills) plus archaeological discoveries to inspire and inform their dishes, all made from seasonal ingredients and prepared by professional chefs dedicated to the art and science of recreating historical meals. The meal is complete with a variety of wines whose existence is proven in historical documents. Sam and Daisy discuss the history of corsairs and the food they would have eaten with Liam Gauci from Heritage Malta. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
