Today, we're diving into a condition that's as fascinating as it is complex: Achalasia—where the esophagus stops playing nice, and swallowing becomes a daily challenge. We're breaking down the latest evidence, comparing POEM, pneumatic dilation, and Heller myotomy, and digging into what actually matters when deciding how to treat each achalasia subtype. Join show hosts Drs. Jake Greenberg, Dana Portenier, Zach Weitzner, and Joey Lew as they discuss the past, present, and future of Achalasia management. Whether you're a medical student or a seasoned attending, this episode will arm you with the tools to think critically about diagnosis, tailor your treatment strategy, and stay ahead of the curve on the future of achalasia care. Hosts: · Jacob Greenberg, MD, EdM, MIS Division Chief and Vice Chair for Education, Duke University · Dana Portenier, MD, MIS Fellowship Director, Duke University · Zachary Weitzner, MD, Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery Fellow, Duke University, @ZachWeitznerMD · Joey Lew, MD, MFA, Surgical resident PGY-3, Duke University, @lew__actually Learning Goals: By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to: · Describe the pathophysiology and key diagnostic criteria for achalasia, including the role of manometry, EGD, and esophagram. · Differentiate between the three subtypes of achalasia based on the Chicago Classification and understand the clinical significance of each. · Compare treatment options for achalasia—pneumatic dilation, Lap Heller myotomy, and POEM—including indications, efficacy, and long-term outcomes. · Interpret landmark studies (e.g., European Achalasia Trial, JAMA POEM trial) and their impact on treatment decision-making. · Recognize patient-specific factors (age, comorbidities, achalasia subtype) that influence the choice of therapy. · Discuss evolving technologies and future directions in achalasia management, including endoluminal robotics, ARMS, and combined anti-reflux strategies. · Outline a basic treatment algorithm for newly diagnosed achalasia, incorporating diagnostic steps and tailored interventions. · Appreciate the multidisciplinary approach to achalasia care, including the roles of MIS surgeons, gastroenterologists, and emerging procedural skillsets.

Dr. Greg Williams—a globally recognized negotiation and body language expert known as the “Master Negotiator.” He joins me on the show to share insights from over 30 years of experience and his Harvard training. We discuss the importance of meticulous planning and how to recognize and counter aggressive negotiating maneuvers. Dr. Williams shares real-world examples—from complex business deals to high-pressure hostage situations—highlighting the power of adaptability, reading nonverbal cues, and understanding motivation in every negotiation. Packed with actionable advice and memorable stories, this conversation is designed to empower you to approach every negotiation with confidence and integrity. Whether you're facing internal politics or tough procurement professionals, Dr. Williams' expertise will inspire you to refine your negotiation skills and achieve win-win outcomes. Outline of This Episode [03:16] Negotiation tactics vary based on context and goals, requiring adaptability in approach and tone [07:59] Strategies to use in internal conflict in negotiations [11:16] Use questions to assess if demands are genuine or a negotiation tactic [13:27] Take note of background information for future leverage [17:56] How a hostage situation involving a father with a gun to his son's head was resolved by a body language expert [20:19] You're always negotiating—what you do today influences tomorrow's activities Closing in High-Stakes Sales Deals A common misconception is that negotiation strategy and tactics are interchangeable. Dr. Williams clarifies the distinction: strategy is the guiding plan you lead with, while tactics are the tools you use to implement that strategy. Tactics support, build upon, and adapt to your strategy as the negotiation unfolds. For example, if your strategy is to make the opposing party feel valued and appreciated, a logical tactic might be to extend an unexpected, thoughtful gift. This gesture utilizes the power of reciprocity—people tend to give back when they receive, which can open the door to more concessions and a friendlier negotiation environment. Building Adaptive Negotiation Strategies No two negotiations are the same, so an effective negotiator remains flexible and tailors their approach to the unique personalities, organizational goals, and circumstances involved. Confidence, amenability, assertiveness, or neutrality—each can be powerful, but only when used at the right moment. Reading the room and even modulating your voice are subtle yet powerful indicators that shape the dynamics at the negotiation table. The Crucial Role of Preparation and Planning “Planning is everything,” Dr. Williams insists. Entering a negotiation underprepared puts you at a sharp disadvantage. Effective negotiators plot out “what-if” scenarios, establish mile markers to track progress, and construct exit strategies in case the deal veers off-course. Preparation also means looking inward—evaluating your objectives and the motivations of all stakeholders at the table. Dr. Williams highlights how, in complex sales involving multiple internal divisions, misaligned teams can be their own worst enemy, sometimes negotiating harder with each other than with the external party. Internal alignment through clear objectives, information sharing plans, and even mock negotiations helps ensure the team is unified and prepared for whatever the other side brings. Recognizing and Countering Aggressive Tactics Professional procurement negotiators often deploy aggressive moves like last-minute demands or “nibbling” for additional concessions at the end. Dr. Williams advocates assessing the true intent and long-term value of the deal before reacting. By calmly asking probing questions—such as “Why do you need that?”—the negotiator can reveal whether these are genuine concerns or just red herrings designed to extract further concessions. Information gained during these exchanges is invaluable. As Dr. Williams demonstrates through a mock scenario on the podcast, even casual comments about personal or organizational motivations can be leveraged in future negotiations. Top Dos and Don'ts of Negotiation Dr. Williams also shares his top three negotiation dos: Never confuse lack of preparation with being prepared. Enter with your facts, scenarios, and exit plans in hand. Seek to understand motivations. Every party brings hidden drivers to the table—learn them before negotiating. Don't assume a verbal agreement is the end. Post-negotiation follow-up is crucial to ensure all parties stay committed. Conversely, avoid entering deals blindly, neglecting to clarify the other party's interests, and failing to validate the agreement after the negotiation ends. As Dr. Williams recounts from his own challenging experience negotiating a hostage situation, the most effective negotiators blend empathy, preparation, and adaptability. Whether a life-or-death standoff or a multi-million dollar business deal, the underlying principle remains: leverage your value by viewing every interaction as part of an ongoing negotiation. The best negotiators plan, listen, adapt, and always look for the motivations that move the deal forward.

And other ways to make event content more valuable. I organise and attend a lot of conferences, so the below is correct and need not be caveated based on my experience, but I could be missing some angles here. When you imagine a session at an event going wrong, you're probably thinking of the hapless, unlucky speaker. Maybe their slides broke, they forgot their lines, or they tripped on a cable and took the whole stage backdrop down. This happens sometimes, but event organizers usually remember to invest the effort required to prevent this from happening (e.g., checking that the slides work, not leaving cables lying on the stage). But there's another big way that sessions go wrong that is sorely neglected: wasting everyone's time, often without people noticing. Let's give talks a break. They often suck, but event organizers are mostly doing the right things to make them [...] ---Outline:(01:11) Panels(03:40) The group brainstorm(04:27) Your session attendees do not have the answers.(05:26) Ideas are easy.

This is Part 1 of a multi-part series, shared as part of Career Conversations Week. The views expressed here are my own and don't reflect those of my employer. TL;DR: Building an EA-aligned career starting from an LMIC comes with specific challenges that shaped how I think about career planning, especially around constraints: Everyone has their own "passport"—some structural limitation that affects their career more than their abilities. Reframing these from unfair barriers to data about my specific career path has helped me a lot. When pursuing an ideal career path, it's easy to fixate on what should be possible rather than what actually is. But those idealized paths often require circumstances you don't have—whether personal (e.g., visa status, financial safety net) or external (e.g., your dream org hiring, or a stable funding landscape). It might be helpful to view the paths that work within your actual constraints [...] ---Outline:(00:21) TL;DR:(01:27) Introduction(02:25) My EA journey so far(03:18) Sometimes my passport mattered more than my competencies, and thats okay(04:43) Everyone has their own passport(06:19) Realistic opportunities often outweigh idealistic ones(08:04) Importance of a fail-safe(08:37) Playing the long game(09:44) Adversity quotient seems underrated(10:13) Building resilience through adversity(11:22) Pivot into recruiting(12:11) Building AQ over time(14:02) Why AQ matters in EA-aligned work(15:01) Closing thoughts--- First published: July 28th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/3Hh839MaiWCPzyB3M/building-an-ea-aligned-career-from-an-lmic --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

Sponsored by Elanco Program Description: Ticks pose a significant health risk to companion animals, both as blood-feeding parasites and as vectors for numerous pathogens. Over the past few decades, tick populations have expanded and intensified due to factors such as increased globalization, greater movement of humans and animals, and climate change. In the United States, common tick species—including the blacklegged tick, lone star tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick—have the potential to transmit a range of bacterial, protozoal, and viral pathogens. Serological data indicate that tick-borne pathogens are a persistent challenge for dogs, with US canines frequently testing positive for agents of anaplasmosis, Lyme disease, and ehrlichiosis. Many of these same ticks and pathogens also pose a public health risk, as the tick species that commonly bite dogs can also transmit these same pathogens to humans. As a result, dogs can serve as valuable sentinels for tick-borne disease risks of their human families. Despite awareness of the risks ticks pose to pets, ticks are often and easily overlooked. Given that ticks are a year-round threat in most regions, annual testing and the routine use of fast-acting tick control products play a critical role in protecting pet health by killing ticks and reducing pathogen transmission risk. Learning Objectives: Identify the most common tick species in the US that pose a risk to companion animals and suggest resources where for investigating local tick and tick-borne pathogen risk. Explain the key factors contributing to the expansion and intensification of tick populations, including environmental and human-driven influences. Outline pathogens commonly transmitted by ticks to dogs and humans, including agents of anaplasmosis, Lyme disease, and ehrlichiosis. Discuss the speed at which different tick-borne pathogens are transmitted and the implications for timely intervention and prevention. Advise on effective tick prevention, treatment, and control strategies for dogs, including the importance of annual testing. Credelio Quattro Indications & ISI. Indications: Credelio Quattro (lotilaner, moxidectin, praziquantel, and pyrantel chewable tablets) is indicated for the prevention of heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis and for the treatment and control of roundworm (immature adult and adult Toxocara canis and adult Toxascaris leonina), hookworm (fourth stage larvae, immature adult, and adult Ancylostoma caninum and adult Uncinaria stenocephala), and tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum, Taenia pisiformis, and Echinococcus granulosus) infections. Credelio Quattro kills adult fleas and is indicated for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis) and the treatment and control of tick infestations [Amblyomma americanum (lone star tick), Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick), Ixodes scapularis (black-legged tick), and Rhipicephalus sanguineus (brown dog tick)] for one month in dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age and older and weighing 3.3 pounds or greater. Important Safety Information: Lotilaner, an ingredient in Credelio Quattro, belongs to the isoxazoline class and has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions like tremors, ataxia, and seizures even in dogs without a history of seizures. Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures or neurologic disorders. Dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections before Credelio Quattro administration as it is not effective against adult D. immitis. The safe use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs has not been evaluated. The most frequently reported adverse reactions in clinical trials were vomiting and diarrhea. For full prescribing information see the Credelio Quattro package insert.

Then a few weeks later the Prime Minister held summits in London with first the French President, Emmanuel Macron and then the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz. David Aaronovitch asks whether this is the beginning of a new closer relationship with the European Union and if so, what compromises might need to be made.Guests: Peter Foster, World Trade Editor of the Financial Times Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government Anand Menon, Director of the UK in a Changing Europe Mujtaba Rahman, Managing Director for Europe at Eurasia Group ConsultancyPresenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Ben Carter and Kirsteen Knight Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Studio engineers: Callum Mclean and James Beard Editors: Richard Vadon and Lisa Baxter

This is a link post. Tl;dr: In this post, I introduce a concept I call surface area for serendipity — the informal, behind-the-scenes work that makes it easier for others to notice, trust, and collaborate with you. In a job market where some EA and animal advocacy roles attract over 1,300 applicants, relying on traditional applications alone is unlikely to land you a role. This post offers a tactical roadmap to the hidden layer of hiring: small, often unpaid but high-leverage actions that build visibility and trust before a job ever opens. The general principle is simple: show up consistently where your future collaborators or employers hang out — and let your strengths be visible. Done well, this increases your chances of being invited, remembered, or hired — long before you ever apply.

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Krause, a seasoned supply chain executive with more than 30 years of experience in procurement, change management, and organizational restructuring. We get under the skin of negotiation strategy and tactics—exploring everything from the difference between planning and action to the essential role of data, preparation, and goal alignment in high-stakes deals. Chris shares his proven rule of thumb for negotiation preparation, his top tactics for gaining leverage, and invaluable advice on handling aggressive negotiation moves. He also tells an illuminating real-world story, highlighting the importance of transparency, open communication, and mutual respect—even when negotiations get tough. Outline of This Episode [03:23] Chris's top three negotiation tactics. [05:25] Focus on goal alignment before pitching to understand client needs. [07:31] Complex negotiations require goal alignment and multiple rounds to achieve the best outcome. [09:58] Win-win scenarios in negotiations ensure long-term relationships and prevent future conflict. [12:19] Keeping communications and dialogue open. Distinguishing Strategy from Tactics Understanding the foundation of successful negotiation begins with clarity on terms. Chris Krause highlights a crucial distinction: strategy is your overarching plan, crafted before the negotiation starts, while tactics are the actions employed during the negotiation itself. Strategy is about setting your objectives, outlining concessions, and knowing your limits. It includes data gathering, goal setting, and scenario planning. Tactics come into play at the negotiation table—your body language, the way you present your case, and how you respond to offers. Whether negotiating face-to-face, walking side by side, or even over casual conversation, tactics are the tools used to achieve the strategic goals you've set. The Power of Data and Preparation Before any high-stakes meeting, Chris's go-to strategy is to amass as much data as possible—not just about his own position, but about the other party as well. This includes: Market studies: Understanding where the product or service sits within the broader landscape. Internal cost/benefit analysis: Knowing your bottom line and what you can afford. Budget cycles (on both sides): Are you or your partner under financial pressure? Has there been a recent company shakeup or market shift? Armed with this knowledge, negotiators move from a position of power, specifically, the power that comes from knowledge. Chris advocates a “five to one” rule: for each hour of negotiation, spend at least five hours preparing. This encompasses scenario planning, identifying must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, and determining both concessions and firm asks. In his words, "Planning, preparation, and positioning" are the three Ps of negotiation excellence. Top Tactics to Gain Leverage Chris shared his three favorite tactics for gaining leverage in challenging deals: Cost Analysis: Establish a baseline of what the product or service should cost, based on robust data. Competitive Market Analysis: Ensure you understand current market pricing so you can position your offer competitively. Partner Analysis: Dive into your counterpart's fiscal health—knowing if they are under pressure to close deals or expand markets can open the door for favorable terms. He refers to this comprehensive approach as his “trifecta” for negotiation success. The Secret Sauce in Complex Sales One of the most valuable strategies in complex negotiations is what Chris calls “goal alignment.” Rather than rushing into a pitch, engage first in an open conversation to establish what both sides need to achieve. Are they solving a quality issue? Chasing cost savings? Seeking a new technology? Especially for salespeople, Chris warns against focusing solely on your own objectives. Self-centered pitches quickly turn off experienced negotiators. Instead, understanding and aligning with the buyer's business priorities sets the stage for trust and long-term partnership. Countering Aggressive Tactics and Building Trust High-stakes negotiations sometimes involve aggressive tactics—last-minute demands, take-it-or-leave-it offers, or extreme anchoring. Recognizing these moves is part of the game, but Chris emphasizes sticking to your strategy and being prepared for multiple rounds of negotiation. Rarely, he says, is a one-and-done deal the most fruitful. Mutual respect and keeping communication open, even when emotions run high, are vital for coming through tough spots and ultimately reaching an agreement.

Leprosy is a picture (a metaphor for sin). We see in Leviticus 13-14 a description of leprosy (defiling skin diseases) that paints a picture of what sin is like and what has been done for us as a result of it.We see in Leviticus 13 that Sin Spreads (Lev 13.5-8), and that Sin Defiles & Isolates us (Lev 13.44-46). Sin desensatises us, it deadens our nerves (just like leprosy does). We see in Leviticus 14 the process that the sick person went through to be cleansed: First, the Priest went to the leper (Lev 14.1-3) - Jesus came to us (Luke 19.10, and Matt 18.12-14). Second, a sacrifice was offered (Lev 14.8-20) - Jesus is our sacrificial lamb (Heb 9.22, 10.1-25; John 1.29; 1 Cor 5.7; 1 John 4.9-10, and John 3.16). Three, the sick person had to do something; they had to act. In Leviticus, they were responsible for cleaning themselves (Lev 14.8-9). Today, we too have to do something, we have to act, and that simple act is accepting the sacrifice that was made in our place (Rom 10.9-10, 13).In looking at Leviticus 13 and 14, we see a picture of what sin does to us, and what God has done to free us from it!Outline:00:45 - Introduction to Leprosy (disease) as a picture of sin.02:23 - Sin is more than skin deep.

Most recruiting leaders talk about casting vision, but very few actually take the time to build one that's real, clear, and worth following. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk through the five pillars of a meaningful vision, and how to develop each one in a way that moves people and magnetizes the right talent to your team. Your vision is not just about where you're going. It's about who you're becoming and who you're building it with. This episode will help you move from vague messaging to a blueprint that inspires action. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most visions fall flat and how a clear, personal one becomes your recruiting advantage. [01:00] Pillar 1: Identity – Who are we really? Define the traits, values, and culture you stand on. [02:00] Pillar 2: Direction – Where are we going? Paint a vivid picture of the future you're building and why it matters. [03:00] Pillar 3: Belief – Why does this matter? Share the story, conviction, and emotion that give your vision meaning. [04:00] Pillar 4: Alignment – Who is this for? Define the ideal teammate and what mindset thrives in your environment. [05:00] Pillar 5: Path – How do we get there? Outline what the first 90 days and long-term growth look like under your leadership. [06:00] Recap – Vision becomes powerful when all five pillars are clear, aligned, and communicated consistently. [07:00] Final Challenge – Block one hour this week and start writing your vision using these five pillars as a framework. Key Takeaways If It's Vague, It's Forgettable – A compelling vision is rooted in clarity, not just motivation. Your Identity Is Your Anchor – Know who you are so you can lead with authenticity. Vision Must Inspire and Guide – It should stretch your team while showing them how to get there. Recruits Need to See Themselves in It – Alignment is key to attracting the right people. Without Path, Vision Stalls – A plan builds confidence. Recruits and team members need to know what happens next. A well-built vision becomes more than a message. It becomes a recruiting magnet and a cultural blueprint. The leaders who take time to define it clearly are the ones who build teams that last.

Bitcoin and gold are two assets often hailed as safe havens and reliable stores of value. I explore whether bitcoin and gold really deliver the security investors hope for, or if, instead, they're more about speculation than true investment. I'm helping you to look at the hard data and science behind financial decisions. Whether you're curious about market volatility or searching for a dependable way to safeguard your wealth, this episode is packed with practical insights about the pros and cons of investing in Bitcoin or gold. Outline of This Episode [06:05] Bitcoin and gold are speculative, limited by supply and demand. [09:29] Bitcoin is an unreliable store of value. [13:57] Volatility and diversification in investing. [16:58] Is gold really a safe haven for your money? [20:18] Gold commercials push for sales due to high commissions, not safety. [22:30] Investing relies on data and science to build successful portfolios, focusing on controlling taxes, expenses, and risk. Finding Safe Havens for Your Money What makes you feel secure? Fresh from a nine-night family trip to a volleyball tournament in Dallas, I've realised that my real safe haven isn't a lockbox or a password, it's my home and the daily routine I return to. More than that, his family represents his ultimate store of value, the core “asset” he's committed to nurturing year after year. For me, investing is just one facet of a broader stewardship, protecting not only wealth but also the relationships and routines that bring lasting fulfillment. Bitcoin is a Volatile Gamble Clients often ask me, “Can Bitcoin act as a reliable store of value?” so I've dug into the numbers. Since 2010, the annualized volatility of Bitcoin has been a staggering 76.9%, nearly five times greater than the already-risky Russell 3000 index, which clocks in at 15.8%.
