Even if God never gives you the outcomes you've been working toward or expecting? Would you still obey? That's the question at the center of this episode — and it's one that has been deeply personal in this season. Let's unpack what it truly looks like to remain obedient to your God-given assignment even if the outcomes look nothing like you're expecting. This isn't a message against building a thriving business. It's an invitation to examine where your hope is anchored — and whether you've been leaning on His understanding or your own. In This Episode: The "even if" defiance of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3:16–18 — and what their posture in the fire teaches us about obedience without guaranteed outcomes Why Proverbs 3:7 goes beyond what we typically take from this passage — and what it means to not be wise in your own eyes as a Christian entrepreneur Psalm 37:23–24 and 31 on what it means to have your steps established, ordered, and secured by the Lord — even when you fall The Isaiah 46 reminder that He alone carries, bears, and rescues — and how the idols of recognition, achievement, income, and stages cannot answer us or save us from our trouble The stunning parallel between Daniel 3 and Habakkuk 3:17–18 — and why "even if" appearing in both passages is no coincidence The difference between the world's promises and the Lord's promises — and how to find contentment and fulfillment in the assignment itself, regardless of the outcome Scripture References: Daniel 3:16–18 Proverbs 3:5–7 Psalm 37:23–24, 31 Isaiah 46:4, 7, 10–11 Habakkuk 3:17–18 Key Takeaway: God does not promise to save us from the fire — He promises to walk with us through it. As Christian entrepreneurs, we are not called to be obedient only when the outcomes match our expectations. We are called to obey because He is good, because His plan will take place, and because our steps are ordered by a God who already knows where they lead. The assignment was never about our gain. It was always about His glory — in the full seasons and the quiet ones alike. This week's reflection question: Even if it doesn't look the way you expected — even if the book went nowhere, the stage led to nothing, the business didn't scale the way you planned — will you continue to be obedient to what He has given you?

Unanticipated Outcomes and Events and Levels of Harm, with Megha Karkera Kanjia, MD, Texas Children's Hospital
Dr. Liao breaks down Lions injuries The Daily DLP welcomes Dr. Jimmy Liao to the show to talk about the Lions injuries and recoveries. The biggest name is Kerby Joseph, as the safety is dealing with a troublesome knee injury. Dr. Liao breaks down what options the Lions have with the All-Pro, noting that holding him out from the offseason workouts is medically necessary. Brian Branch's Achilles and what defense demands Brian Branch tore his Achilles on December 4, 2025. A comparison was made to another high-profile Achilles tear, San Francisco TE George Kittle, on January 11. The positions are different. Defense is reactive. The secondary lives in backpedals and sudden bursts. That movement is the top mechanism for Achilles injury. It can slow the return for a defensive back compared with an offensive player who can script his steps. Recent rehab clips showed light treadmill jogging. No hard sprinting. No jumping. No cutting. He is roughly six months out and not ahead of schedule on visible benchmarks. The earlier expectation hovered around midseason. There is no clear evidence to move that up. Sam LaPorta's back: progress now, recurrence is the concern Sam LaPorta appeared at OTAs. He caught passes. He is not full go, but the trend is positive. A herniated disc can flare with accumulated contact. Blocking can hyperextend the back. Last season's issue was not a single moment. It built over time. There is a good chance he is ready for Week 1. The question is durability over months, not days. Recurrence risk sits in the background and will only be answered by workload. Depth chart ripple effects: OL Lisfranc, ACL note, and return-game risk An offensive lineman, Ben Bartch, is recovering from Lisfranc surgery. He has not appeared in the first two weeks of OTAs. Lisfranc injuries live in a small, tricky part of the midfoot. Outcomes can be uncertain, especially for a big body that must anchor and drive. The Lions guaranteed $330,000 on his one-year deal, a sign of confidence at signing, but the absence raises flags until he is on the field. Kendrick Law suffered an ACL tear. Standard ACL recoveries are reliable. Barring complications, the expectation is a full return for 2026 OTAs. Safety Dan Jackson has been present in team photos during OTAs. Last year's leg issue lacked detail, but current participation eases concern. Kickoff changes have pushed return rates above 70 percent. Depth at returner matters. The play remains risky for the returner, even as it gets safer for blockers and coverage. Recent examples include a neck scare for Kalif Raymond and a fractured ankle for James Houston on a high-speed collision. Minicamp next week will sharpen clarity across the Detroit Lions depth chart. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #injuries #recoverytimeline #kerbyjoseph #brianbranch #samlaporta #georgekittle #lisfranc #benbartch #danjackson Learn more about your ad choices.

There are some wonderful things that will happen in your life as you grow in hope. Pastor Colin talks about two of them—experiencing deeper comfort and enjoying greater strength.
This week we go back 2.5 years and delve into the world of cardiovascular surgery when we review a review of STS data on the pulmonary artery band (PAB). The STS assigns a STAT category of 4 to this operation, denoting higher risk for mortality. Is this warranted? Are all PAB candidates equal? What features are associated with higher or lower mortality rates in patients undergoing banding? Should the data in this work drive innovation to avoid the PAB in some settings? These are amongst the questions posed to the senior author of this week's work, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Tara Karamlou who is Professor of Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.

Catherine Blackmore has spent nearly two decades building the programs that wrap around technology, from the early days of customer success in 2007 to her current role as Group VP of Customer Programs and Employee Success at Oracle. In this episode she sits down with Justin to unpack what the discipline got right, what it got wrong, and what survives the shift to AI.Catherine makes the case that the high touch model was right all along. It buys a company time to build its moat. But the obsession with the golden record, bridging every data silo, and the red, yellow, green health score was a costly detour, because customers live in their own tools and every account ends up yellow anyway.From there the conversation turns to the question on everyone's mind. If agents can scale the work, what is left for humans? Catherine's answer is that human connection becomes the scarce, valuable thing, and the next generation of CS leaders will manage teams of agents while doing the relational work no agent can fake. She also reframes customer advocacy as the true end state of customer success, the double funnel where your strongest customers become your most believable salespeople.She closes with the career advice she is giving her son as he enters a reshaped workforce. Adaptability beats raw talent, the sum of your experiences equals your existence, and you should always watch the game within the game.What we get into: The high touch model and defending the moat Why the golden record and the red, yellow, green health score never delivered Human connection as the new scarcity model The CSM of the future leading a team of agents Customer advocacy and the double funnel Outcomes over seats and consumption Career advice for the next generation entering an AI-shaped workforceGuest: Catherine Blackmore, Group Vice President of Customer Programs and Employee Success, Oracle

We started with the Knicks/Spurs as game 4 is tonight at MSG. Jose Alvarado said Wemby got away with one, but it will be his last. We talked about how refs can really affect a game in the NBA.
Social determinants of health, including housing, food access, insurance status, and structural inequities, significantly influence stroke prevention, recovery, and long term outcomes. These factors affect biological risk, treatment adherence, and disparities in care, even when traditional clinical measures are addressed. This episode highlights practical strategies for integrating screening, leveraging multidisciplinary teams, and identifying opportunities for advocacy to improve patient outcomes. In this episode, Teshamae Monteith, MD, FAAN, speaks with Nneka L. Ifejika, MD, MPH, author of the article "Social Determinants of Health and Their Impacts on Stroke Prevention and Outcomes" in the Continuum® June 2026 Cerebrovascular Disease issue. Dr. Monteith is the associate editor of Continuum® Audio and an associate professor of clinical neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami, Florida. Dr. Ifejika is an adjunct professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, and the chief scientific officer of the Division of Academics at Ochsner Health System in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Dr Monteith: This is Dr. Teshamae Monteith. Today I'm interviewing Dr. Nneka Ifejika about her article on social determinants of health and their impacts on stroke prevention and outcomes. This article appears in the June 2026 Continuum issue on cerebrovascular disease. How are you? Welcome to our podcast. Dr Ifejika: Thanks for having me. I'm doing great. Dr Monteith: Great. So, can you introduce yourself to our audience? Dr Ifejika: Sure. I'm Dr. Nneka Ifejika. I am the Chief Scientific Officer of Ochsner Health System in New Orleans, Louisiana. But I'm also a cerebrovascular rehabilitation doctor. I've been practicing for about nineteen years, and am happy and honored to be a contributor to this Continuum Neurology article. It's a really important topic. Dr Monteith: Great. So, what got you into this field, first of all? Dr Ifejika: Well, I was deciding between PM&R and neurology, and I was putting in both match lists. And I thought about it and I leaned toward PM&R, but stroke still had a grasp on my heart and my mind. And so, after I finished my residency, I joined the UT Houston stroke team, and I did a, thankfully did a two-year fellowship and became cross-trained in stroke as well as physical medicine rehab. So, I am a jack of both trades. Dr Monteith: So, you got your way in a way. Dr Ifejika: I did. Dr Monteith: You know, we have a lot of learners that are listening, so it's always, uh, nice for them to be inspired, I think, by people's career paths. So why don't we talk about the objectives of your article? Dr Ifejika: Sure. So, one of the most important things that we wanted to do was make sure that medical students, residents, faculty, and fellows understood the impact of social determinants of health on stroke recovery and stroke rehabilitation. It's not as simple as you have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, we're going to manage your stroke risk factors. Oh, you had an ischemic stroke. You presented in time for the window. We're going to give you endovascular therapy and then modified Rankin scale at hospital discharge in ninety days. No, no, no. The stroke survivor and their caregivers and their family have a lot more to deal with outside of what we look at during the acute stroke hospitalization and post-acute rehabilitation. Things like, can they afford the medication that we're prescribing? Antiplatelet agents or anticoagulation can be extremely expensive. Do they have housing insecurity? Is there food insecurity? What's going on behind the scenes that we are not addressing that can directly impact the admission rate and the readmission rate after we take care of a stroke survivor? Dr Monteith: I love the article because you took a real deep dive into social determinants of health, what they are, why they matter, and what we can do about them. And so why don't we talk a little bit about the NINDS framework for social determinants of health? I think many of us might not be familiar with the framework per se. Dr Ifejika: So, the framework consists of multiple domains specifically that relate to social determinants of health that were published in Neurology a couple of years ago. So, I do hope that people who are hearing this recording actually read them. There are interpersonal domains, there are classic medical domains, there are indeterminate domains, and there are six total domains. And health domains are the last domain. So, things like when it comes to housing insecurity, food insecurity, that's a domain of social determinants of health. When it comes to chronic racism, when it comes to biases that patients experience, those actually impact outcomes. So, there are six separate indices that we're going to get into in detail and how we address them as clinicians, whether it be at the medical student level, resident level, faculty level, to integrate the social determinants of health in our care plans, because we could be doing a much better job. And I think it'll be really important from the interpersonal perspective when we really relate to our patients and their families that we ask these questions. For example, if we're prescribing someone to have treatment for their diabetes mellitus and ha- and, and be taking insulin, if they have housing insecurity and they're in a homeless shelter, they have to leave the homeless shelter during the day. So, what happens to the insulin that we prescribe? These are variables that we are not considering on a regular basis, but they directly relate to compliance. Dr Monteith: Great. So that was one thing I wanted to bring up. We're very good at measuring blood pressure and trying to determine, uh, the association between stroke outcomes and things that we can measure, glucose, lipids, blood pressure. What is the evidence for social determinants of health and stroke outcome? Dr Ifejika: The evidence is growing, and there have been many publications that have come out that are, are going to be highlighted in this article related to structural determinants of health inequities, like structural racism, as well as disparities related to ethnicity and race. There's geographical disparities. For example, a lot of patients are, are primarily concerned about rural versus urban, whether you have access to different post-acute rehabilitation, whether you have access to secondary stroke prevention because you simply don't have the transportation from a, a rural area to get to a drugstore to get things available to you. Social status. There are actually publication related to socioeconomic status and the concerns when it comes to air pollution. So particulate matter 2.5, we know that that has a direct impact on stroke outcomes and health overall, but we don't really think about it as a structural determinant of health inequity. There's several multiple layers of research that have gone on specifically that have been cited in the literature that relate directly to social determinants of health and how we can address them moving forward. Dr Monteith: And what I found interesting in your article in that you gave at least a few examples where social factors like income, education were controlled for, and maybe in large part it is, but even when you control for some of these very obvious social risk factors, you still have inequities. Dr Ifejika: Absolutely. And I think it was really important to show that we had strong peer review evidence behind this, as it wasn't just something that we were creating or hypothesizing about. There have been studies that have been done over this over decades of time, showing the impacts of social determinants of health on outcomes. But the question and concern that we have is we know this growing body of literature continues to expand. What are we doing about it when it comes to education of the future generations of providers who will be caring for this population? Dr Monteith: Before we get into how, you know, what we're going to do about that, let's just kind of put that link, cause the evidence is there. How does it drive biology? Dr Ifejika: It's a great question. So, for example, particulate matter 2.5 in air pollution has been shown to have an existing impact on hypertension, raising your blood pressure. So that's a direct effect of a social determinant of health related to socioeconomic status because people who live in areas with higher air pollution are... They're not green spaces. They live near highways. Those are areas that unfortunately are also impacted by food deserts. Food deserts, if you're not able to get fresh fruits, vegetables, whole foods, increases your risk of developing diabetes, hyperlipidemia, also increases your sodium intake, again, increasing hypertension. These things are all connected to biological determinants. It's just that we're not asking about them necessarily within the social history when we're taking people into the hospital, but they have direct effects. Dr Monteith: Great. Neurologists tend to be busy and, you know, we're... have all of these things that we're being asked to do and chart and click and all of that stuff. And so how can we more readily integrate screening for social determinants of health and that conversation into the work we do? We recognize it's important. We recognize it's an important risk factor. There's a lot of these determinants. So, what is a good way to do so? And I, I know that in the paper you've, you've given different roles to different team players, so I want you to talk about that too, but just kind of even a regular routine office visit. Walk us through a way we can more easily integrate that kind of conversation. Dr Ifejika: It's an excellent question, and what I've recommended that we do in a standard office visit is utilize the time before the visit to send out screeners. So, for example, usually with an electronic medical record, you can send documents before the visit even starts, where people can check off whether they have any concerns regarding housing, food insecurity. They can check out their location of where they live, whether they live near a highway or not near a highway. It's specifically related to socioeconomic status. We can ask about insurance status, whether they have insurance, insured versus uninsured, but then also types of insurance, whether they have Medicaid insurance versus Medicare insurance. Then even drilling even further, type of Medicare insurance, Medicare Advantage versus traditional Medicare, cause all of those things actually play a role in this. Dr Ifejika: And evaluate these things and don't take time during your office visit. Send these screeners out beforehand. Have them be assimilated by your medical staff. Make sure you're utilizing every resource that you have at your disposal to help streamline things, so by the time the person comes in for the visit, you've primed the pump. You have this information already in your hands at your fingertips cause it was sent out in advance, and you have your medical staff already have an understanding of. If they didn't fill it out electronically, give it to them in the lobby. Make sure they have a handwritten copy in the lobby so that when they come into the office visit, you have the information at your fingertips. Dr Monteith: Are there any particular resources that you recommend for those types of screeners? Dr Ifejika: What I've used in the past, if you have patient-reported outcomes, so the PROMIS instruments, that's a good start. It doesn't get into the details of housing insecurity, food insecurity, but it's a good start to help prime questions and to start the conversation during your office visit. In my clinics, I do a PROMIS 27 on every patient, as well as a PHQ-9 for depression on everyone. And then I collect data longitudinally, and I can always drill down on factors that I noticed that could become a problem moving forward. Dr Monteith: Yeah. And then also in your article, you spoke a bit about this impact from the acute presentation in the hospital to rehab. Dr Ifejika: Yeah. Dr Monteith: So why don't you talk about these different entry points where we can really engage our patients and try and help reduce their burden? Dr Ifejika: Sure. So, healthcare can be quite fragmented, and the stroke patient, stroke survivor, and their family member have no grasp of that. They've had a stroke, and they may be going from the ER to the ICU to the stroke unit to the floor to the rehab unit, and we see it as multiple levels of care, multiple types of providers. They see it as one hospital. And the concern that we have is, at those branch points, things get dropped, and we have the opportunity to pick things up at those branch points. So, during the acute care hospitalization-Primarily, that's the establishment of what has happened, how we're gonna treat it, what are the variables that we can control for right now to address those determinants of health moving forward, and to specifically looking at whether they were taking medications before, whether they could afford medications before, what that looks like at hospital discharge. Is there any duplication of medications? If a person is taking Coreg and you prescribe metoprolol, but they still have the Coreg at home, should we have really prescribed the metoprolol? We're just spending money that they may have concerns when it comes to access to care and the cost of these prescriptions. So, it's the responsibility of the acute care physician to kind of look at that. Those are subtle things that we think are subtle, but they add up quickly for the family when it comes to having one group of medications that's the same class and having to buy another type. When it comes to post-acute rehabilitation, it's really an important time to screen for whether the caregiver can handle what's occurring. So specifically, if the caregiver is already burning out and the average length of stay for a stroke patient is five days and they've come to rehab for two weeks, what's gonna happen in the next two years or the next four years? So, during the post-acute rehabilitation phase, it's time to kind of look at that and drill down on those kind of questions. Also, the levels of care, Dr Ifejika: it's really important to look at other levels of rehabilitation, so skilled nursing facilities, making sure people have access to that if they need to, if the caregiver is burned out and they don't have the ability to go straight home. Because acute inpatient rehab, the goal of it afterwards, is to go straight home. It's not to go to another facility. So, you need to have that screener in place when it comes to whether the family can take care of this person, and whether the family can do it in an effective way to prevent them being readmitted. Dr Monteith: Great. I also like that you spoke about kind of the team approach and different roles, both for screening and for intervention, both being very important, especially the intervention. And so why don't you give us a few examples how the team could break up the responsibility and how also for the intervention component that can be done. Dr Ifejika: Sure. So, I broke up the team into several levels. So, the team medically is the medical student, resident, and faculty physician. However, the team also includes the support staff, so your case manager, your social worker, the therapist, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, the pastoral services, all these members of the team. You know, sometimes as physicians, we don't read those notes. There's a lot of information in the notes from social work, care coordination, and the therapist. They get down to subtleties cause they're asking questions, for example, "What kind of equipment do you have at home? How many stairs do you have at home? What level of house do you have, one story, two story? If you live in an apartment, do you have an elevator access?" That's important for someone with hemiparesis. When it comes to medications, when it comes to insurance status, when it comes to your ability to have the mechanisms to pay for care as an outpatient, social workers are required to ask these questions cause they have to figure out resources for the patient and their family to help facilitate improved outcomes. So, they have to ask questions regarding these tasks. The concerns are, do we read what they're saying? So, it's really important to interact with them, and if it's not something that you're looking at in the chart, cause we're all so tied to our computers, find where they are in the hospital. Walk by their office and have a chat. Run your list with them, especially for people who you're concerned have vulnerabilities, and make sure that you're setting an example for your medical students with your faculty doing so. If you're looking at it from the medical student, resident, faculty perspective, medical students, listen. This is your opportunity to really contribute to the team as well as learn about social determinants of health and research in their fields. You are the boots on the ground for the medical team. You are the ones who should be priming the pump and asking these questions of the family members. We're sending you into the rooms to do a history and physical. Social determinants of health should be a part of your history and physical, and you should be taking what we're saying in this article and asking these questions and tying it into your resident. Now, the resident is the work person of the hospital. We all know this. Things run through the resident. Things run through the fellow. It's really important that they have this information in a manner that is negotiable. The list keeps getting longer, and a resident doesn't need to be overburdened. It needs to be synthesized in a manner that can help facilitate the resident being able to act as well as communicate any concerns to the faculty. And at the faculty level, we are the voices that can affect change. So, if there's any concerns when it comes to advocacy, research, making sure that people are accessing care in a way that makes sense, particularly when it comes to the ability for us to galvanize change on a national level, that's kind of our job. Dr Monteith: Great, and so let's talk about intervention. What are things that, let's say, the neurologist can do to deal with some of these social factors? Dr Ifejika: From the neurology perspective, I think it's really important to identify missed opportunities and making sure that we address them. For example, the conversations around the ability to have access to care related to insurance versus no insurance. There are many, many ways that neurologists are able to advocate for a person being able to get to Medicare insurance, particularly in the outpatient setting. When we see patients in clinic, it takes two years, them, to qualify for Medicare, two years at a minimum. But there's a gap there that can be filled by us making sure that we document what's happened, contact their providers, facilitate communication with their employers, if they're employees, they can get some short-term disability benefits to help bridge that gap prior to receiving Medicare insurance. It behooves us to do this because if we do not, they fall into the gap and they get readmitted and they're back on service anyway. So, what's important is the outpatient that we really kind of focus on things that we can impact and things like insurance and getting people transitioned from having employer-based insurance versus getting to Medicare is a really important way that we can effect change in a, in a way that's viable and, and replicable. So, in the outpatient setting, neurologists have a wonderful opportunity to effect change in social determinants of health. When it comes to employed persons, who had a stroke transitioning to Medicare, it takes two years to do so. So, in the outpatient clinic, if you have an employed person, make sure that you fill out their short-term disability benefits forms, their long-term disability benefits form. Bridge the gap. Get that information to their employer so they can maintain constant coverage. Because if they do not, if they have to choose between refilling medications and putting food on the table, they're going to choose putting food on the table, and that's going to directly impact their outcomes if they're not taking the medication that we recommend. Dr Monteith: I think that's a great point. I mean, there's a lot that we can do, and in some ways, it may not take that much to document and to be able to ask the questions and to include some of that information into the assessment and plan is really a, a great idea. Dr Ifejika: And you know, if we don't bring these things up and have these conversations, it doesn't get addressed. And that's why I'm very, very thankful that I had the opportunity to do so, cause this is a part of what I do all day. I think that if I wasn't integrating these kind of conversations into my practice, I wouldn't have the ability to share these tips and these abilities to move things forward in a manner that will be constructive for our field overall and for our patients. Dr Monteith: And towards the end of the article, you brought up something I think we don't see in many articles, and that's the role of advocacy and getting involved in health policy. So, can you talk a little bit about that? Dr Ifejika: You know, it's really important to facilitate change when you see that there are things that need to be changed. And the best way to do that is through advocacy at the local or state or federal level. A lot of these variables that we're dealing with can be addressed through legal changes. I'll give you an example. End-stage renal disease, if you have immediate hemodialysis and you have that requirement upon hospital discharge, you qualify for Medicare immediately. Immediately. Before you even leave the hospital. Why wouldn't something be similar for a stroke? Well, the reason why is because there was a level of advocacy that came around end-stage renal disease and a member of Congress's wife had hemodialysis requirements. And so, a law was passed to make sure Medicare covered it immediately after hospital discharge. So, it requires advocacy in some significant ways to get things done, but we have the bandwidth to do this. We take care of a population that has some of the highest rates of preventable disability. That's not going away. We need to make sure that we're effecting change for this group to make sure that they have the best possible outcomes they can experience. Dr Monteith: So, any final messages for our listeners? Dr Ifejika: I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback about our issue. I am thankful for the opportunity to talk about, address, and write about this important topic, and look forward to everyone's feedback. Dr Monteith: Well, thank you so much for being on our podcast. It was a really wonderful summary and we had a very thorough conversation, but you didn't give away too much, so I think they're going to have to read the article. Dr Ifejika: You're going to have to read the article. And we want medical students, residents, fellows, faculty, all of our ancillary staff within the hospitals, please read this article. We really appreciate it. Dr Monteith: Again today, I've been interviewing Dr. Nneka Ifejika about her article on social determinants of health and their impacts on stroke prevention and outcomes.

Why do some people seem to win again and again while others stay stuck, frustrated, and confused? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach revisit one of the most important concepts they have ever taught: principles. This conversation is about understanding the hidden forces that govern outcomes in life, business, relationships, health, leadership, and spiritual growth. For Christian men who want to live with purpose and faith, learning how principles work is essential.Garrett explains that God created an orderly world. Life is not random. Outcomes are governed by principles. Just like gravity, lift, thrust, weight, and drag determine whether a plane can fly, there are principles that determine whether your marriage grows, your business works, your health improves, your leadership develops, and your relationships become fruitful.Nick uses the story of Mookie Betts breaking out of a playoff slump to show how principles work in real life. When Mookie was not getting the results he wanted, he did not collapse emotionally or assume he had lost his ability. He went back to the cage, took hundreds of reps, worked with his coach, studied the feedback, and found the mechanical principle he was missing. Once he corrected it, the results changed.That is the power of a principles mindset. Instead of taking failure personally, you begin asking better questions. What am I missing? What principle am I violating? What pattern is showing up? What can I adjust? This mindset gives men confidence because it reminds them that there is always an answer to discover.Garrett defines principles as the forces that govern outcomes. They do not guarantee that everything will always go perfectly, because God is sovereign and life still includes uncontrollable variables. But principles allow you to use what you can control to influence what you cannot control. When you understand principles, you can become so good with the controllables that success becomes far more likely.This episode also explains why principles give men certainty and confidence. When you know that the world is governed by order, you stop living like every setback is random. You stop blaming God, blaming people, or blaming circumstances. Instead, you learn how to observe, adjust, and keep moving forward in faith.Nick and Garrett also unpack what makes principles hard to discover. Negative emotions, anger, frustration, fear, and a lack of identity can all blind men to the answer. Garrett says that when you are angry, you are often the dumbest version of yourself because you stop gathering data and start taking the outcome personally. When you take things personally, you miss the opportunity to grow.The solution is observation, pattern recognition, and consistency. Principles hide in patterns. You discover them by paying attention over time, repeating the right actions, and removing variables until you can see what is actually producing the outcome. Garrett summarizes it with a simple formula: principles + consistency = results.The episode then applies this framework to relationships. A great relationship is one where both people are better together than they are apart. Whether in marriage, friendship, brotherhood, business, or ministry, the same truth applies: healthy relationships are built on principles. They do not become great by accident.For Christian men who want strong faith, clear purpose, and better results in every area of life, this episode is a call to stop living emotionally and start living principally. God is not random. His world is not random. Your results are not random. If you are stuck, there is a principle you have not yet discovered.If you are frustrated, there is a pattern you need to observe. If you are inconsistent, you may hit the result once, but you will not know how to reproduce it. But when you understand principles, stay consistent, and trust that God created an orderly world, you become the kind of man who can figure things out. You stop hoping life works. You learn how it works.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereGet a Free 7 Day Trial On The Tailored Training App By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Ari Paparo sits down with Damian Garbaccio, Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at Affinity Solutions, and Doug Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer at DoubleVerify, to discuss why 91% of marketers distrust platform-reported results, the rise of outcome-based measurement, the role of verified purchase data, AI-driven optimization, media waste, and the future of advertising accountability. Takeaways 91% of marketers distrust platform-reported results, signaling a major measurement credibility gap. Brands want to optimize toward real purchase outcomes, but technical and organizational barriers remain. Verified transaction data and independent measurement are becoming essential for improving accountability. Reducing delays and complexity between purchase data and optimization systems can improve campaign performance. AI can enhance marketing outcomes, but its effectiveness depends on the quality of the data it receives.

In a live X Spaces discussion hosted by CancerNetwork® in collaboration with the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT), Marc J. Braunstein, MD, PhD, and Sofia Zahid, MD, highlighted noteworthy presentations and abstracts in hematologic oncology at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. Together, they discussed the data that may shake up clinical practice across different multiple myeloma, leukemia, and lymphoma populations.Braunstein is an associate professor in the Department of Medicine and course co-director of the Hematology/Oncology System at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, as well as the fellowship program director of Hematology/Oncology at NYU Langone Health. Zahid is a first-year fellow at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine.The discussion focused on the following abstracts:· Abstract 7512o Combining belantamab mafodotin-blmf (Blenrep) with daratumumab (Darzalex), lenalidomide (Revlimid), and dexamethasone produced rapid activity among patients with transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in the phase 1/2 BelaDRd study (EUCT-2024-515634-32).o The progression-free survival (PFS) benefits observed in the trial support further evaluation of the quadruplet in a phase 3 study compared with other novel combination regimens in NDMM.· Abstract 6505o Revumenib (Revuforj) maintenance therapy after allogeneic stem cell transplantation showed feasibility in a heavily pretreated cohort of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).o Outcomes appeared favorable vs historical cohorts, supporting prospective assessment of maintenance menin inhibition among those with AML.· Abstract 1503o In a retrospective analysis of electronic medical records for 293 patients who received CAR T-cell therapy for lymphoma (n = 175), multiple myeloma (n = 106), or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 12), outpatient monitoring was associated with significantly fewer hospital days without increased emergency department visits or 30-day mortality.o These findings show the potential for lower healthcare utilization for patients who receive CAR T-cell therapy in the outpatient setting.· Abstract LBA7000o Adding tafasitamab (Monjuvi) and lenalidomide to rituximab (Rituxan), cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) significantly improved PFS vs R-CHOP alone among those with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the phase 3 frontMIND trial (NCT04824092).o The data may support tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and R-CHOP as a potential new standard of care in the frontline treatment of patients with cell-of-origin subtypes of high-risk DLBCL.References Terpos E, Ntanasis-Stathopoulos I, Gavriatopoulou M, et al.

What is the office actually for? It's a question that many organizations are still wrestling with as they balance flexibility, collaboration, employee expectations, and business performance. At Cisco Live, I sat down with Christian Bigsby, Senior Vice President of Workplaces at Cisco, to discuss how the role of the workplace is changing and why measuring success by attendance alone may no longer make sense. Christian shares how Cisco has rethought the relationship between people, place, and technology, bringing together teams that traditionally operated separately to create a more connected workplace experience. Rather than focusing on how many employees are in the office, the conversation centers on the outcomes that become possible when people come together with purpose. We explore how hybrid work has reshaped workplace strategy, why employee experience has become a business priority, and how organizations can create environments that support collaboration, innovation, learning, and culture. Christian also explains why flexibility should not be viewed as a perk but as an important part of helping employees do their best work. The conversation also looks at the growing role of AI in workplace operations. From forecasting occupancy and improving space utilization to helping organizations make smarter decisions about resources and services, AI is helping workplace leaders respond to a level of variability that traditional operating models were never designed to handle. Along the way, Christian offers thoughtful insights on leadership, trust, organizational culture, and why the future workplace may have more in common with a dynamic service than a fixed location. If you've ever wondered whether the future of work is about where people work, how they work, or why they come together in the first place, this conversation offers plenty to think about. What do you believe makes a workplace valuable in 2026, attendance, experience, outcomes, or something else entirely?

Send us Fan MailOne of the most common things people hear in sports, business, and personal development is, “Don't think about the outcome.”I understand why people say it. If you become obsessed with results, pressure can build quickly. You can lose focus, force things, and start worrying more about the future than what needs to happen right now.But I also believe something important gets missed when people say that.You need something to shoot for.You need vision.You need purpose.You need a target that inspires you to get out of bed in the morning and keep moving forward when things become difficult.When I was part of the New York Rangers, we absolutely thought about the outcome. From the first day of training camp, the goal was clear. We wanted to win the Stanley Cup.That vision mattered.It created belief inside the locker room. It gave players direction. It unified the team around a common purpose. Nobody walked into that season hoping to simply “see what happens.” We believed we could accomplish something special.But here is the key.After setting the goal, we put it aside.We did not wake up every day talking about lifting the Stanley Cup. We focused on what needed to happen that day. Practice. Conditioning. Recovery. Communication. Accountability. Film sessions. Competing in drills. Supporting teammates. Managing emotions. Preparing mentally and physically.The outcome gave us direction.The process gave us progress.That lesson applies to every part of life.So many people today either become obsessed with the result or they lose motivation because the result feels too far away. They focus so much on the future that they stop being present in the daily work that actually creates success.Championships are not built in one moment.Confidence is not built in one moment.Transformation is not built in one moment.It happens through consistent daily action.One workout at a time.One healthy decision at a time.One conversation at a time.One practice at a time.One choice at a time.The people who perform at a high level understand how to stay present while still keeping a larger vision in mind. They know how to separate goals from daily execution.That is where mindset becomes so important.Pressure often comes from living too far ahead mentally. You start worrying about whether you will succeed, fail, impress people, make money, win the championship, recover from adversity, or achieve your goals.Meanwhile, your power only exists in the present moment.The best athletes and performers are able to bring themselves back to the task directly in front of them.The next shift.The next meeting.The next rep.The next opportunity.That does not mean the goal disappears. The vision remains in the background as fuel and motivation. But your focus stays connected to preparation and execution.This is something I have seen repeatedly, both in sports and in life.The people who grow the most are usually the people who commit to the process without constantly needing immediate results. They trust the work. They understand that progress takes time. They know there will be setbacks, adversity, frustration, and moments where things do not go according to plan.But they continue showing up anyway.That is where real confidence comes from.Confidence is not just positive thinking. Confidence is built through preparation, repetition, resilience, and learning how to stay steady under pressure.Even during difficult moments on our Stanley Cup team, we did not panic and suddenly abandon the process. We trusted our preparation. We trusted each other. We trusted the work we had already put in.That mindset matters everywhere.In business, people often focus so much on the final goal that they burn themselves out chasing quick results.In health and fitness, people become discouraged because they do not see changes fast enough.In parenting, athletes, leadership, and personal growth, people sometimes expect overnight transformation.But meaningful growth rarely happens overnight.The process is where growth lives.The process teaches discipline.The process teaches patience.The process teaches resilience.The process teaches presence.And many times, when you fully commit yourself to the daily process, the outcome begins to take care of itself.That does not mean every goal will happen exactly the way you imagined. Life does not always work that way. But focusing on the process gives you the best possible opportunity to create success while also enjoying the journey along the way.At the end of the day, having a vision is important.Goals matter.Dreams matter.Outcomes matter.But after setting the goal, the challenge becomes learning how to return your attention back to the daily work required to get there.Stay present.Trust the process.Focus on what you can control.Keep showing up.That is how big goals eventually become reality.Discover the limitless potential of The Healthy Mindset Application (App) with our exclusive Application Assess, Educate, Coach approach.

We've all been there—you're working with a high-level athlete after a Bankart repair or Laterjet, they're at the 6-month mark, their ROM looks great, and they're itching to get back on the field. The surgeon gives the green light, but you can't help but wonder: Are they actually ready?In the world of ACL rehab, we have strict batteries of tests, symmetry indexes, and psychological readiness scales. But when it comes to the shoulder, the literature has been surprisingly quiet on what "ready" actually looks like. A new scoping review just dropped in IJSPT that digs into the return-to-sport rates for over 2,000 competitive athletes, and the results are a massive wake-up call for sports physical therapists.The study looked at the difference between soft tissue repairs and bony augmentations, but more importantly, it looked at how we are making the decision to clear these athletes. Is it based on strength? Function? Or just a date on the calendar?On this week's episode of the podcast, I'm diving deep into this research to discuss the current success rates of shoulder stabilizations and, more importantly, the 10 criteria surgeons are using to clear athletes. Some of what they found might surprise you—and it might change the way you progress your next shoulder patient.

LBCT: Outcomes Of Patients Who Were Ineligible for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement Trials: Insight from a Multicenter Registry
Retail media networks need to shift their focus from scale and impressions to measurable outcomes if they want to earn sustained brand investment, according to Jake Kaiser, general manager at Par Retail.Speaking on CSP's "At Your Convenience" podcast in May at the RMN Forum in Chicago, Kaiser emphasized that while loyalty programs provide valuable customer data, they typically capture only approximately 25% of transactions—creating a significant ceiling for proving ROI to CPG partners."Scale does not equal value necessarily," Kaiser said. Kaiser outlined how identity resolution technology and AI can help retailers expand visibility beyond loyalty members, enabling them to identify and measure outcomes across their entire customer base. This approach allows retailers to prove that specific campaigns drive incremental sales at individual locations."The aspirational goal should be 100% of our customers are people we can prove are individual human beings," Kaiser said, adding that AI-powered orchestration will enable faster, more intelligent campaign execution while maintaining quality.
Outcome-based managed security and attached vendor warranties are driving a new form of coverage-based vendor lock-in for MSPs and IT service providers. Vendors such as Intezer and SPECTRA are introducing performance guarantees, SLAs, and cyber resilience warranties that require MSPs to fully standardize on their architectures. This evolving model shifts accountability for enforcement and risk management from the individual MSP to the vendor's operating model, thereby altering the independent role of the MSP within client environments. A notable example is Intezer's Amplify Partner program, which asserts that its platform can process 100% of security alerts while escalating fewer than 2% for human review—claims the company frames as outcomes rather than product specifications. SPECTRA's use of certification-linked warranties, distributed via Ingram Micro, establishes channel-distributable assurance products with explicit conditions attached at every level. According to a Check Point report, while 77% of organizations report having adopted AI for cloud security, only 26% feel capable of enforcing those strategies, revealing a gap between security intent and operational ability. This structural shift is further illustrated by Merlin Cyber's FedRAMP managed service offering, Lumen's MDR enhancements targeting mid-market MSPs, and Trustlogix's addition of intent-based authorization controls. The FBI's announcement regarding Microsoft 365 OAuth token hijacking and recent vulnerabilities in widely used platforms like ConnectWise Automate underscore the real-world risks of automation platforms being targeted. These developments collectively point to growing operational complexity, rising compliance burdens, and the need for MSPs to separate their commitments from upstream vendor claims. For operators, the trend demands increased scrutiny of warranty terms, claim denial conditions, and SLA language before making any client-facing assurances. MSPs risk absorbing liability if they repeat vendor marketing claims without contractual clarity or operational control. Effective governance now requires independently produced, audit-ready evidence that documents compliance and enforcement separate from vendor portals. As assurance sales proliferate, the operational gap between acting as an underwriter versus a reseller will drive market differentiation, affecting both pricing structures and eligibility for vendor-backed coverage. 00:00 Channel-Ready Security 03:41 Policy vs. Reality 05:59 MFA Isn't Enough 09:12 Why Do We Care?

Most people think they have a financial plan. But when you ask what that plan actually is, the answer is usually: "Some mutual funds, ETFs, a broker… and hopefully retirement works out." That is not a financial plan. Today, on Financial Detox, Jason and Alex break down the massive difference between simply owning investments and having a true, interactive financial plan designed around your life, taxes, spending, goals, and long-term decision-making. You'll see how real planning works: Modeling lifetime income and spending Stress testing for volatility and inflation Analyzing taxes and future cash flow Testing retirement scenarios in real time Creating clarity around what you can actually afford The goal is not just portfolio growth. The goal is freedom, confidence, and the ability to make decisions without fear. What we cover in this episode:
Rebecca Swanner is Associate Principal and a Senior Workplace Design Leader at HED where she is passionate about creating interiors that strengthen culture, support the evolving nature of work, and amplify human potential. Mike Petrusky asks Rebecca why she believes that workplace leaders should initiate big picture conversations about desired outcomes before making workspace or logistical decisions. They explore how AI is absorbing low cognitive load tasks, increasing the need for humans to focus on strategic and creative work while leading to a "cognitive bar" that requires protecting focus. Rebecca says the workforce is ready for more responsive workspaces that use wearable tech and data to adapt environments to personal needs and tasks. By dynamically adjusting lighting, temperature, and acoustics using real-time biometric data, we can begin to optimize human performance. Effective workplace transformation requires piloting and iterating designs and success metrics should shift from measuring occupancy to measuring outcomes as the future of work will be more integrated, asynchronous, and hybrid. Tune in as Mike and Rebecca offer some practical advice and the inspiration you need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

Momentum is the thing every CX leader wants and almost nobody hands you. When you're staring at a 12-month roadmap but drowning in daily requests, it's easy to feel like you're working nonstop while nothing actually changes. We built this conversation for that exact moment, and we keep it practical: seven days, one intentional move, and a clear path to visible customer experience impact.We walk through a simple three-step framework we use with leaders who are trying to turn CX strategy into action. First, we orient before we act by choosing where our energy belongs instead of reacting to whatever is loudest. We talk through a clear set of focus areas and how a quick assessment can highlight the biggest gap between the experience you want to deliver and what's getting done right now. Then we get real about focus: protecting time, avoiding data rabbit holes, and picking an outcome you can actually ship in a week.Finally, we make one intentional leadership decision that isn't driven by urgency or the inbox. That decision might be defining what success looks like, revisiting a customer experience mission statement, or having the buy-in conversation you've been avoiding. The goal is not perfection. The goal is momentum you can feel and results you can point to.If you're ready to try the seven-day challenge, listen now, share this with a CX peer who feels stuck, and subscribe so you don't miss what comes next.

LBCT: Health Status Outcomes Seven Years After Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Low Surgical Risk Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis
Regret can feel like a punch to the gut, but it's one of the most underrated decision-making tools we have.When a choice leaves that bitter, lingering “that wasn't right” feeling, it's often not random emotion. It's a signal that something important in you just got ignored.I walk you through a real decision I made too quickly.We dig into values-based decision making, why trade-offs are unavoidable, and how to stop choosing from a place of stress, people-pleasing, or a packed schedule. I also share the values assessment I like (the Values Bridge Assessment by Susie Welch) and why “I know my values” isn't enough if you can't name them or act on them day to day.If you're navigating leadership decisions, career moves, or any high-stakes personal choice, you'll leave with a simple method to turn regret into alignment and make choices you're proud of later.If this helps, subscribe, share it with one person who's struggling with a decision right now, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Values-Bridge Assessment: https://thevaluesbridge.com/Executive-Coaching Session to Work Through Tough Decisions: https://calendly.com/angelashurina/executive-momentum-360Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

Today our guest is Steve Smith, CEO and co-founder of IntelliSpark. Steve shares how IntelliSpark helps educators get to know students as people — not just learners — by making it easier to capture, share, and act on student information across an entire school team in real time. He also explains how the platform addresses two persistent gaps in schools: the friction of sharing critical student information between educators, and the lack of just-in-time support for teachers who encounter a student need but aren't sure what to do next. In this conversation, Steve offers important reminders for educators and leaders: When educators know something personal about a student, even a brief conversation about it can shift the entire relationship and improve academic outcomes. Critical information about a student — a loss, a struggle, a win — too often stays with one adult instead of reaching the whole team, and that gap has real consequences. Most professional development is episodic, but the moments that require it are daily. Educators need tools and strategies available to them in real time, not just at the start of the year. Every interaction with a student can be a pivotal one, even when neither the educator nor the student knows it at the time.

We present a recent episode of the HBS SkyDeck alumni podcast featuring Aarti Dhupelia (MBA 2005), CEO of One Million Degrees. The nonprofit supports community college students through career development, paid internships, and financial incentives tied to academic progress. Dhupelia discusses why community colleges are too often viewed as a fallback option despite offering an affordable, career-focused post-secondary path, and why employers should take a closer look at the talent and resilience community college graduates bring to the workforce.
In this episode, Lisa discusses one of the most common concerns after tongue tie release: reattachment. But rather than focusing only on whether tissue has “grown back,” she widens the conversation to include aftercare, feeding function, healing, follow-up, and the importance of an individualized care plan.Lisa explains why persistent or returning symptoms after frenotomy do not always mean reattachment. Feeding challenges may be related to incomplete release, healing patterns, oral motor habits, body tension, milk supply, latch mechanics, reflux, or the baby needing help learning to use new tongue mobility.She also reviews current research and guidelines on revision, recurrence, massage, stretching, and follow-up care, highlighting that the evidence is still evolving and that not all studies or professional organizations define aftercare the same way.Using her CAREFUL™ framework, Lisa explains how professionals can think through these cases more clearly by listening to parent concerns, assessing function, relating symptoms to possible causes, educating families, focusing on function, understanding scope and referral needs, and looping back with follow-up.The key message: Preventing reattachment is not just about keeping tissue apart. It is about helping feeding function improve.Mentioned in this episode:Lisa's course, Professional's Guide to Tongue Tie in the Breastfeeding Infant, teaches the CAREFUL™ approach and helps professionals move beyond “Is there a tie?” into a more functional, dyad-centered way of supporting breastfeeding families.Learn more at: tonguetieexperts.net/professionalLisa's parent book, Tongue Tie for Parents, is available on Amazon for families looking for clear, supportive guidance about tongue tie and breastfeeding.More from Tongue Tie ExpertsExplore additional resources, including downloads, free guides, and links mentioned in this episode—along with access to our courses and new book:
