Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start here: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____She was good at the job. She just kept bombing the people.Dr. Shannan Palma has a PhD from Emory, founded a master's program, and taught as a college professor. Then, in midlife, she found out she was autistic. ADHD turned up right behind it.For decades she had followed the rules exactly as they were written and could not work out why that kept failing her. She was direct when directness was not wanted. She said no when everyone else said yes and did nothing. She ran full speed until she collapsed, then ramped back up and did it again. The diagnosis did not just explain the pattern. It ended it.Today she identifies as AuDHD, co-founded the autistic-led nonprofit Independence Through Interdependence, and serves as CEO of ITI Lab, where her team built Decide, an app for decision fatigue.In this episode, Tracy and Shannan get into why decision fatigue is not a willpower problem, what happens when the autism wants routine and the ADHD wants novelty, the assessment that went badly wrong, and what it takes to rebuild after burnout on your own terms instead of someone else's.If your brain has ever turned a small decision into a full-body shutdown, this one will help you understand why. And more importantly, what actually helps.ResourcesWebsite: https://weareiti.orgWebsite: https://itilab.ioLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannanpalmaADHD isn't a productivity problem.

Why does life-saving insulin cost hundreds of dollars a month for patients, when manufacturing costs are just a fraction of that price? What if the nonprofit model could change everything for affordable access?In the pharmaceutical industry, affordability and access remain two of the biggest hurdles for patients, especially when the economics of essential medicines seem stacked against them.Eric Moyal, founder of Project Insulin, is rewriting the rules of biosimilar development. Coming from a fundraising and nonprofit background rather than the pharma inside track, Eric built Project Insulin not to chase profits, but to deliver an essential therapy at a price real people can afford.Topics covered:Key differences between nonprofit and for-profit models in biotech, especially around fundraising, incentives, and revenue (00:02)The intricate balance between development costs, operating expenses, and setting an affordable price point (00:06)Innovative distribution models to eliminate price inflation by middlemen, including direct-to-patient and clinic partnerships (00:08)Major roadblocks in reinventing drug distribution and the importance of building the right partnerships early on (00:10)Advice for founders and scientists exploring solutions to drug affordability, including corporate structure, fundraising, and perseverance (00:12)Lessons learned after five years building Project Insulin, emphasizing the value of assembling the right team and listening to feedback (00:13)Realistic expectations for Project Insulin's next five years and the primary goals on the horizon (00:16)The broader need for affordable generic drugs and the broken promise of the current patent system (00:17)How to connect with Project Insulin and support its mission (00:18)Smart insight: Generic medicines should be affordable. Ensuring low-cost, accessible generics is essential to restoring the original balance between pharmaceutical innovation and public access, and it requires collective effort beyond any single player.If you enjoyed this episode, you might want to listen to these within a broader set of discussions on biologics affordability, CMC strategy, and bioprocessing realities — from the economic barriers blocking patient access and regulatory decision-making for biosimilars, to CDMO selection for resource-constrained teams:Episode 136: 5 Roadblocks to Affordable Biologics (And How to Overcome Them)Episodes 57 - 58: Crafting a Solid CMC Strategy: Key Factors and Common Pitfalls with Matthias MüllnerEpisodes 103 - 104: One-Stop Shop vs. Specialist CDMO: A Scientist's Guide to CDMO Selection with Sigma MostafaConnect with Eric Moyal:Email: emoyal@projectinsulin.orgWebsite: www.projectinsulin.orgInstagram: www.instagram.com/projectinsulinLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/82500193TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@project.insulinYouTube: www.youtube.com/@ProjectInsulinNext step: If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast platform.

Insulin was first discovered over a century ago—yet in the United States, 1 in 5 insulin-dependent patients still ration their lifesaving supply. Why is a molecule so essential, and so well understood, still so out of reach for so many?Eric Moyal, founder of Project Insulin, decided to challenge not just the science, but the business model itself. With a background in nonprofit fundraising—not drug development—he's building a biosimilar insulin glargine and promising to sell it directly to patients at cost, insurance or not.Topics discussed include:The origins of the insulin affordability crisis and the impact of profit-driven healthcare systems (04:27)How over a million Americans are forced to ration their insulin every month, and the broader impact on patients' (lives 06:37)The advantages and challenges of approaching drug development with a background outside of biotech (08:37)The fundraising-focused strategy for overcoming scientific and technical hurdles in developing biosimilar insulin (09:17)Technical details on Project Insulin's development process, including selection of CDMOs, importance of analytical data, and process challenges like reverse-phase cleaving and crystallization (11:16)The impact of recent FDA regulatory changes on the development and approval pathway for biosimilars in the U.S. (15:45)Smart insight: A nonprofit approach to essential medicines could reshape the future for patients who depend on them. By removing shareholder expectations and focusing on affordability and access, leaders like Eric Moyal are proving new paths are possible—not through incremental science alone, but through bold re-imaginings of how science serves the public.If you enjoyed this episode, you might want to listen to these within a broader set of discussions on biologics affordability, CMC strategy, and bioprocessing realities — from the economic barriers blocking patient access and regulatory decision-making for biosimilars, to CDMO selection for resource-constrained teams:Episode 136: 5 Roadblocks to Affordable Biologics (And How to Overcome Them)Episodes 57 - 58: Crafting a Solid CMC Strategy: Key Factors and Common Pitfalls with Matthias MüllnerEpisodes 103 - 104: One-Stop Shop vs. Specialist CDMO: A Scientist's Guide to CDMO Selection with Sigma MostafaConnect with Eric Moyal:Email: emoyal@projectinsulin.orgWebsite: www.projectinsulin.orgInstagram: www.instagram.com/projectinsulinLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/82500193TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@project.insulinYouTube: www.youtube.com/@ProjectInsulinNext step: If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast platform.

Library director Phil Salvador and producer Robin Kunimune take you through the process of preserving a collection of over 10,000 digital files from our GamePro CD collection. Phil discusses how he tackles physical and philosophical dilemmas such as balancing users' needs to access original files of hi-res game art while also viewing quick, easy thumbnails researchers can actually open; dealing with broken or obsolete 90's files types like old PSD/EPS files; automating bulk processing for as much data as we're able; and balancing thorough, but concise, metadata for topics ranging from undersea wreckage salvage to hyper-specific local gaming slang. Phil and Robin also provide a sneak peak into the VGHF's upcoming monster of a project, the Game Informer collection, and how this meager 10k file collection is really just a warm-up.Mentioned in the Show: GamePro Press CD CollectionYou can listen to the Video Game History Hour every other Wednesday on Patreon (one day early at the $5 tier and above), on Spotify, or on our website.Video Game History Foundation:Email: podcast@gamehistory.orgWebsite: gamehistory.orgSupport us on Patreon: /gamehistoryorg

In a culture built around convenience, preference, and personal fulfillment, it's easy to bring a consumer mindset into our faith. We often evaluate church the same way we evaluate restaurants, products, and entertainment: Did I enjoy it? Did it meet my needs? Was I fed? But Scripture presents a radically different vision of the church—not as a product to consume, but as a family where God forms us into the image of Christ. This message challenges us to move beyond comfort and preference and embrace the kind of commitment, sacrifice, and perseverance that produce genuine spiritual maturity.Scripture:2 timothy 4:3-5James 1:2-41 Corinthians 12Hebrews 5:12-14Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

Have you ever had a dream of ministering to someone, somewhere, and it was so vivid that you felt like you were really there? Well, maybe you were!When the Holy Spirit asked Bruce Allen years ago, “Can a man be translated by faith,” they embarked on a journey together that changed his life forever and led to the founding of The School of the Supernatural—Translation by Faith. Since then, Bruce and Reshma have taught these schools of the supernatural all over the world. They encourage Believers to grow in their relationship with Jesus, in their discernment, and in their knowledge of the Word of God first. Then they equip and activate so Believers can co-operate with the Holy Spirit in supernatural ways with a Scriptural foundation to accomplish the purposes of God in these last days. They join the Busses to share deep insight, fresh revelation, and lots of testimonies of experiences they've had with God, as well as similar testimonies from many other people!This naturally supernatural life is available to you too! Global Outpouring will be hosting The School of the Supernatural—Translation by Faith, September 7-12, 2026.

Pathfinder Church | May 10, 2026 | AJ MasticLoyalty is important. It's what binds groups together. But too much loyalty can lead us to tolerate or excuse immoral behavior from our in-group, while magnifying the flaws of outsiders. At its most extreme, loyalty creates cults. On the other hand, too little loyalty prevents us from forming bonds of safety and trust. It can lead to individualism and self-centeredness.
