Chris Paul joins Chris Ponder and Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast for what turns into a lively cross examination, with Chris Paul playing the role of skeptic in chief and asking the ground level questions everyone's been thinking. What is this tool actually for, and how do you define truth in the first place? Chris Ponder introduces the "Paragon," his model for understanding the information environment the same way a classroom globe helps you understand the Earth, and the conversation winds through orientation, epistemology, and how to build discernment tools without creating a surveillance state. Expect a genuinely sharp back and forth, comparisons to Bitcoin's Oracle problem, and a closing turn toward faith and first principles that ties the whole framework together. It's the most rigorously questioned episode yet, and that tension is what makes it work.

Disaster Meteorologist Dan DePodwin joins us again today on the show. We look at recent severe weather impacts on the U.S. including Tropical Storm Bertha skirting the gulf coast of the United States. Bertha had two landfall impacts with most of the issues caused due to flooding inland and local storm surge on the coast. The episode was co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Tropical Storm Bertha Update The meeting focused on Tropical Storm Bertha, which has been downgraded to a tropical depression. Dan explained that while the storm caused some flooding and storm surge in Louisiana and Texas, its overall impact would likely be minimal and short-lived. He noted that Bertha’s unusual westward movement into Mexico rather than eastward was due to wind shear, and that the storm would not significantly impact the northeastern United States over the weekend. Western US Flash Flood Risks Dan discussed weather conditions in the western United States, highlighting the risks of flash flooding from heavy thunderstorms in mountainous regions like Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. He explained that even small amounts of rain can quickly cause dangerous flash floods due to the terrain’s rapid channeling of water through rivers, creeks, and dry washes. Dan recommended using NOAA Weather Radio for alerts in remote areas without cell service and advised starting outdoor activities early in the morning to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. Flash Flooding Risk and Preparedness Dan and Sam discussed the risks of flash flooding in low-lying areas during summer, particularly referencing a tragic flood at Camp Mystic in Texas that killed over 100 people. Dan explained that while overall precipitation may not have increased significantly, heavy rain events are becoming more intense due to climate change, which causes more flash flooding. The discussion covered practical flood preparedness measures, including checking FEMA maps for flood zones, considering insurance, and creating drainage solutions, with Dan sharing an example of Becky clearing a clogged street drain during a recent storm. Heat and Storm Safety Guidance Dan discussed the current heat wave affecting the western United States, particularly the desert southwest, with Phoenix expected to reach 110 degrees. He advised people to stay hydrated, seek shade, and do outdoor activities early in the day to avoid the dangerous heat. The discussion also covered hurricane preparedness, with Dan explaining that people in hurricane-prone areas should consider evacuation plans and have emergency supplies ready, noting that hurricanes typically provide advance warning unlike flash floods. Regarding tornado safety, Dan advised having a way to receive warnings and knowing where to go for shelter, particularly recommending interior basement locations if available. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

For this installment of Postcards From the Past, I have two vintage postcards that were sent to me by a friend and podcast listener, M. Green. He included a handwritten note explaining that they show Paragon Park and Nantasket Beach in Hull, Massachusetts, a place once well-known and deeply loved by generations of people from the Boston area. He thought the postcards would be interesting to share with everyone through Ancestral Findings, and he was right. I have been running Ancestral Findings since 1995 as a genealogy hobby that I enjoy. My wife helps with the free lookups, but otherwise it is just me researching, writing, recording the podcast, and sharing the history I find along the way. That makes it especially meaningful when a reader or listener takes the time to send something from a personal collection for the rest of us to see. These postcards did not come from a museum display or a planned research project. M. Green had them, thought of this series, and mailed them to me because he believed their history was worth sharing. I agree with him...

There are now seven Spocks in Star Trek Fleet Command, and three of them have arrived specifically to tackle the new Territory Capture loop. In this episode of Talking Trek, DJz and the crew break down Female Spock, Ambassador Spock and Cat Spock, including their abilities, synergy, Paragon event schedule and their potential impact against quantum hostiles, loot goblins and Tesseract Armadas. We also dig into the growing controversy surrounding officer sourcing. Is Paragon providing a reasonable path to an unlock? Was CoTA too generous, or did it establish the standard players now expect? Should below-deck officers be accessible through regular engagement while powerful captains remain more difficult to obtain? The panel compares several generations of officer acquisition and discusses what a healthier system could look like. Later, we examine free-to-play progression for the Borg Sphere, Athena and Fleet Commander Sisko, correct some common misunderstandings about Isolytic Defense, and discuss the early philosophy behind Cameron Stewart's upcoming Seasons model. We also look at recent battle pass changes, decreasing material rewards and whether STFC can create progression that respects both grinders and players who choose to spend for acceleration. Then the raid comes in, and the podcast experiences a complete warp-core breach. Join the conversation and tell us which of the three new Spocks you are chasing, how many shards you earned from Paragon and what you believe fair officer sourcing should look like. #STFC #StarTrekFleetCommand #TalkingTrek #StarTrek #Spock   00:00 Talking Trek Goes Live 07:22 Stupid News 11:27 The Tale of Seven Spocks 14:02 New Spock Sourcing Schedule 17:43 Scopely Acknowledges Paragon Problems 19:20 Did CoTA Break Officer Sourcing? 24:18 Building a Better Officer Unlock Model 30:21 What Should Officer Sourcing Look Like? 33:33 Female Spock's Massive Isolytic Cascade Bonus 38:06 Captain's Maneuvers and Officer Value 44:50 Academy and Maverick Officer Sourcing 47:42 When Cameron Stewart's Changes Will Arrive 52:36 Free-to-Play Athena, Borg Sphere and Sisko Progress 57:42 Monochrome Currency and Officer Promotion Discussion 1:01:37 Female Spock Deep Dive 1:09:25 Ambassador Spock and Isolytic Defense 1:19:59 Is Isolytic Defense Actually Capped? 1:24:52 Cat Spock Deep Dive 1:29:31 The Complete Three-Spock Crew 1:33:54 Why Players Still Hate Paragon 1:38:15 Did CoTA Change Player Expectations? 1:47:52 Rising Milestones and Shrinking Player Income 1:55:28 How Long Should Free-to-Play Unlocks Take? 2:02:22 Officer Sourcing Inside the Seasons Model 2:10:45 Can the Battle Pass Become Irresistible Again? 2:20:17 Are Battle Pass Materials Really Decreasing? 2:27:54 The Current Cost of Competing in Paragon 2:34:58 Comparing Paragon, CoTA and Older Officer Events 2:42:48 Were Two Paragons Supposed to Guarantee an Unlock? 2:44:47 Is Territory Capture Worth the Investment? 2:49:38 Bafty Raids 2:55:00 The Podcast Completely Leaves the Rails 3:00:00 DJ Attempts the Star Trek Opening Monologue 3:05:05 Closing Announcements and Cruise Giveaway

Tim Conley joins us on the Disaster podcast this week to look at the international response to two concurrent disasters. In his role and Chairman of the Board with Med Global and as a co-founder of Interstate Disaster Medical Collaborative (IDMC), Tim discusses how these organizations are working to help manage the Ebola outbreak response in Africa while they simultaneously send teams to assist with medical care of victims following the earthquakes in Venezuela. Previous Disaster Podcast Episode on Med Global in Ukraine MedGlobal provides free, sustainable healthcare services to refugees, displaced persons, and other vulnerable communities in crisis areas and low-resource settings worldwide. They deploy healthcare volunteers, support local medical teams and humanitarian partners with training, funding, and technology, and donate medical equipment, medications and supplies. The episode was co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary New Board Chair Introduction Meeting Sam introduced Tim Conley as the new chair of the board and vice president of MedGlobal, explaining how they first connected in 2006 when Sam was building a disaster team for California and sought Tim’s expertise from the Illinois team. Tim described his current roles as an emergency management supervisor for Mercy Health and his work with MedGlobal’s emergency management and chemical weapons programs, noting his ongoing liaison with IDMC which he helped found. The discussion focused on MedGlobal’s current global healthcare initiatives, including responses in Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Colombia, and other locations, as well as their work in Ebola and Venezuela responses. MedGlobal Healthcare Mission Discussion Sam discussed MedGlobal’s mission of providing free sustainable healthcare to refugees and vulnerable communities through deploying healthcare volunteers and building resilient healthcare systems. Tim explained that his role in emergency management involves providing tools and systems to healthcare providers so they can effectively respond to emergencies, noting that while the concept is simple in description, it’s more complex in practice. The discussion highlighted MedGlobal’s international training programs, including chemical weapons response and surgical techniques, with examples from Ukraine, Gaza, and Bangladesh. International Medical Logistics Coordination Tim discussed the logistical challenges of working with international medical communities, noting that physical movement of materials and coordinating with local partners and governments are the main hurdles, especially in countries like Ukraine, Ebola outbreak regions, and Venezuela. He explained that working with organizations like WHO is crucial for navigating local regulations and ensuring proper distribution of PPE and training programs that align with local practices and WHO recommendations. International Medical Aid Challenges The discussion focused on the challenges of providing medical equipment and training in international aid situations. Sam shared an example from Ukraine where outdated equipment was sent without proper training, leading to the equipment being unused. Jamie asked about balancing access to modern technology with local healthcare system capabilities, to which Zoom responded that it’s crucial to assess what the local system can sustain long-term, noting that healthcare systems often excel in some areas while lacking in others. Ebola Response in Ukraine Challenges The discussion focused on the challenges of responding to the Ebola outbreak in Ukraine, with participants noting the complex logistics due to the strain of the virus, detection difficulties, and ongoing conflicts in the region. Tim explained that Med Global is working with the WHO to determine the best locations for setting up training programs, considering factors like responder fatigue and logistical access. The conversation highlighted the importance of addressing both physical and mental health challenges for first responders, with participants acknowledging the long-term emotional toll of working in dangerous environments with limited PPE and family support. Volunteer Disaster Preparedness Training Challenges Tim discussed the challenges of preparing volunteers for different disaster scenarios, noting that while MedGlobal staff and volunteers receive training from healthcare professionals and emergency managers, there is no single recipe for mental preparation due to varying dangers like Ebola outbreaks, local conflicts, and natural disasters. Tim emphasized the importance of proper training, including PPE use and safety protocols, and mentioned specific examples like emergency management volunteers providing safety training in Venezuela after an earthquake. The discussion concluded with Sam considering the situation of federal employees eager to join USAR and DMAT teams but waiting for disaster deployments. Venezuela Earthquake Relief Efforts Tim explained their earthquake relief efforts in Venezuela, describing how they are working with NGOs and local authorities through advanced teams that are conducting assessments and establishing logistics for medical supplies and patient care. The discussion highlighted the challenges of accessing the country and the importance of planning for needs 2-3 weeks ahead rather than immediate requirements. Sam noted similarities to their previous experience with Ukraine relief efforts, mentioning concerns about distribution, security, and implementation logistics. Venezuela Earthquake Disaster Response The group discussed the situation in Venezuela following an earthquake, with Jamie reporting that official death tolls are likely underreported, with estimates ranging from 3,700 to potentially 10,000 or more deaths. Tim highlighted the dedication of disaster response teams, including medical professionals and volunteers, who willingly enter dangerous areas to help others despite personal risks. The conversation also covered the collapsed chronic disease care system in Gaza, where healthcare infrastructure has been destroyed, leading to significant problems with untreated medical conditions. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

On this week’s episode of the Disaster Podcast, we chat with Dr. Tehnaz Boyle. Dr. Boyle is a pediatric emergency physician and a scientist who studies how to use technology to bring expert care to disaster situations remotely. She works with Health Tech Without Borders who we talked about three years ago on the show related to their work during the early days of the Ukraine war. Previous Disaster Podcast Episode on Health Tech Without Borders Health Tech Without Borders is a global non-profit organization aiming to mitigate healthcare crises by leveraging digital tools and technology to provide immediate access to health resources. They work in disaster and war torn areas of the world to bring medical and health expertise. ASPR Telemedicine Program Site The episode was co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis and they were joined by Disaster Emergency Management expert Becky DePodwin. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Global Earthquake Response Discussion The team discussed recent earthquake events, including a 7.2 magnitude earthquake followed by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake in Venezuela, along with additional earthquakes in Northern California and Japan. Becky explained that the back-to-back high-magnitude quakes in Venezuela would likely worsen the already devastating impact, with many older structures built in the 1950s and 1960s failing to meet modern earthquake safety standards. The discussion highlighted that USAID’s traditional role in international disaster response is no longer available, creating a gap in global disaster relief efforts. The team planned to have a more detailed discussion about the Venezuela situation in next week’s episode, including updates on response efforts from organizations like Med Global and Health Tech Without Borders. Health Tech Without Borders Overview Tehnaz, an associate professor and pediatric emergency medicine physician at Boston Medical Center, explained Health Tech Without Borders, a nonprofit that uses digital tools to provide access to medical care during humanitarian emergencies. She described their work in Ukraine, where they partnered with local providers and international clinicians to deliver telehealth services to displaced populations. Tehnaz also discussed the organization’s role as an innovative hub connecting companies with medical experts, and highlighted the potential for AI and satellite communications to enhance their capabilities in providing remote care. Telehealth Applications and Remote Monitoring Tehnaz explained various telehealth applications including digital consultations, remote patient monitoring, and digital therapeutics, using examples from Ukraine and burn care centers in the US. She described how remote monitoring could allow patients to receive care at home instead of in long-term facilities, particularly benefiting those in healthcare deserts and rural areas. When asked about connected medical equipment, Tehnaz noted that while many devices can connect to networks, not all collected data is necessarily helpful or interpretable, requiring research to determine useful signals from noise. Telehealth in Crisis Response Tehnaz discussed Health Tech Without Borders’ work in providing telehealth services and training for clinicians in crisis areas, including Ukraine. She explained the challenges of licensing and governance barriers for remote clinicians, particularly across different jurisdictions. Tehnaz highlighted ongoing research into streamlining these barriers and developing AI tools to enhance telehealth capabilities, including potential applications for pediatric patients. The group expressed interest in having Tehnaz and Jerone return for future discussions about disaster response and telemedicine deployment. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

ETP#220 is the part two follow-up to last week's episode, and this is the one we really wanted to get to. We ran out of road last week before doing CrossFit Pacific Beach any justice, so this episode picks right back up there and runs all the way through the rest of the arc: going online, the failed business that taught Bryan everything, the origins of Straker Nutrition, building Undefeated, and Aaron winning his pro card on the first try.The throughline is the same as part one. Spotting the gap in the market before anyone else does, putting in the reps when no one's watching, leaning on the people around you, and making things so simple it'd be unreasonable to screw them up. A lot of what looks like luck in hindsight is really just opportunity meeting preparation, over and over again.Before we get into it, Aaron's got some big news that we're both pretty fired up about.Covered in this episode:Big news: a little baby Straker (a boy) is coming in December, and Bryan's headed to Steamboat to celebrate his wife's birthday, twelve years after the trip that made him want to move to the mountains in the first placeUpdates: new Paragon hypertrophy cycles starting 6/22 with the core challenge, and a reminder on Good Labs (code STRAKER for an additional 20% off the cheapest labs in the US)How CrossFit PB built its reputation as the gym where everyone was actually jacked, and why Bryan refused to just do CrossFit for the sake of CrossFitThe first real business goal: getting to $35K a year each so they could quit their day jobs, and the absolutely brutal 5:30am-to-midnight grind it took to get thereSharing a wall with an urgent care, opening a second location as a safety net, then maxing out bothWhen the love started fading: the CrossFit burnout, the animosity with Anders, the balloon rent payment, and the slow unwindGoing online before it was a thing, building Evolved Training Systems, and spotting the price gap in the marketThe failed business (Active Traveler Network) and why underpricing the market and failing taught Bryan everything he needed to succeed laterJenny's "I'm not rolling any fucking dice, I'm making this happen" moment and how reframing it took failure off the tableThe COVID inflection point: dumbbell-only programs ready to go the day the world shut down, and why removing everyone's excuses produced better resultsThe origin of Straker Nutrition: spotting the gap between female-led coaching and male bodybuilding prep, and serving the people in the middleBuilding Undefeated around equipment because bodybuilders build better gyms than businessmen doThe pro card: going from "natural Aaron who said he'd never compete" to winning on his first attempt, the TRT goal physique that left him feeling empty, and the pressure Jackson put on himStructuring the prep like a pro, turning the brain off, and the "crack in the dam" philosophyWhy posing is the worst, and using accountability to your circle as the thing that actually drives youClosing thoughts: don't fear failure, expand your network, and drop the ego that keeps you from hiring a coachTimestamps: 00:00 Intro: Chasing Big Goals Part 2 00:55 Updates + Bryan's Big Party Weekend Recap 01:35 Steamboat Springs and the 12-Year Mountain Dream 03:15 Aaron's Big News + Good Labs Reminder 05:05 How CrossFit PB Differentiated on Training 06:50 Bodybuilding First, Metcon Second 11:25 The First Business Goal: Quitting the Day Jobs 13:30 Two Locations, the Urgent Care War, and Maxing Out 14:10 Falling Out of Love: Burnout and the Unwind 16:50 Going Online and Building Evolved 20:00 The Paragon Partnership and the COVID Surge 24:00 The Failed Business That Taught Him Everything 26:30 Jenny's "I'm Not Rolling Dice" Reframe 28:50 The COVID Inflection Point for SNC 33:30 Lockdown Life and Spotting the Software Exit 35:00 The Origin of Straker Nutrition 39:00 Building Expertise (and Hiding in Education) 40:00 Building Undefeated Around Equipment 42:30 The Pro Card: From "Never Competing" to First Try 43:00 The TRT Goal Physique That Left Him Empty 45:30 Deciding to Prep + Jackson's Pressure 47:00 Structuring the Prep Like a Pro 48:30 Making It Too Simple to Fail + The Crack in the Dam 51:30 Why Posing Is the Worst 55:00 Get Your Circle on Your Side 56:00 Closing Thoughts: Network, Ego, and Hiring a Coach Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media  ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

ETP#219 (Part 1) is all about chasing big goals. If you've listened for a while you know we talk a ton about training, a decent amount about nutrition, and honestly not enough about the prosper side. This episode leans into that third pillar. Between the two of us we've moved across the country (and the world), changed careers, built gyms, build successful coaching and training businesses, and turned pro. With plenty of wins and a fair share of losses along the way. And the behind the scenes of how those things actually came together is where the real value is.So we each break down the foundations we've used for deciding if a big goal is actually worth the time, energy, and relationship cost it's going to demand. Because it will demand it. Your life is already full, and you cannot just stack a big goal on top of a full life without trading in the pursuit of a new big goal.We got deep enough into the examples that we ran out of time before giving CrossFit PB the conversation it deserves. So that story, plus the pro card win and the Paragon origin, is coming next week in Part 2.Covered in this episode:Updates: new Paragon physique cycles starting 6/22 with a six-week abs challenge, and Bryan digging further into his kidney labs (cystatin C, UACR, urinalysis)Aaron officially partnering with Good Labs, the best priced blood work in the US by a wide margin (code STRAKER for an additional 20% off)Why a big goal needs deep personal relevancy, and why purely money-motivated goals fall apart fastGetting goals out of your head and into spoken words, and why "word is bond" means being really selective with what you commit toSupport systems and accountability, and the reality that we've let ourselves down hundreds of times but never someone elseGoing into business with friends versus going solo, and why it's better for good business partners to become friends than good friends to become business partnersBeing honest about the trade-offs, including Aaron telling Jenny "I'm going to be really selfish for the next five months" before prepSimplifying execution down to daily chunks so small it would be unreasonable to screw them upDiscipline turning into motivation turning into obsessionWriting the CrossFit PB business plan in coffee shops, and dealing with the friends who don't believe in youBryan cashing out the Amazon stock he bought at 13 (at a loss) to fund his San Diego moveThe weekly master plan meeting Aaron and Jenny have kept every single week since 2018Timestamps:00:00 Intro: Chasing Big Goals01:20 Updates: Paragon Physique Cycles and Abs Challenge02:55 Bryan's Kidney Lab Deep Dive06:00 Aaron's Good Labs Partnership + Coaching Opportunities08:25 How We Laid This Episode Out + Our Examples12:50 Deep Personal Relevancy15:00 Speaking Goals Into Existence16:05 Support Systems and Accountability17:25 Business With Friends vs. Going Solo21:30 Being Honest About the Costs and Trade-offs23:50 Simplify Into Daily Action Chunks25:30 Bryan's Foundations: Passion and Obsession28:55 Discipline to Motivation to Obsession30:30 Writing the CrossFit PB Business Plan32:30 Buy-In From Your People and Handling Doubters36:20 No Solutions, Only Trade-offs39:05 Moving Across the Country: Our Two Stories43:00 The Master Plan: Weekly Planning Meetings46:00 Separation of Duties and the Undefeated Build50:45 Why CrossFit PB Deserves Its Own Episode (Part 2 Teaser) Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media  ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

Podcast Discussion Summary CBRN Technology for First Responders Sam and Jamie discussed weather conditions, with Sam reporting dry weather in rural Missouri and Jamie updating on Tropical Storm Amanda in the eastern North Pacific. Amit Kapoor, president and CEO of Firstline Technology, joined the conversation to discuss his company’s 23-year focus on developing technology for first responders and first receivers, particularly in CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) situations. Sam highlighted the importance of CBRN protection for first responders, sharing a personal experience about a paramedic who developed chemical pneumonia during a hazmat incident. CBRN Contamination Decontamination Methods AmitKapoor discussed the gap in secondary contamination issues during CBRN and hazmat incidents, focusing on challenges in transporting contaminated casualties to hospitals. He explained the differences between dry and wet decon methods, noting that dry decon eliminates the need for water, making it safer and more practical in various environments. AmitKapoor mentioned the PRISM study conducted by HHS, which provided scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of dry decon methods. Emergency Decontamination Misconceptions Discussion Amit Kapoor discussed common misconceptions about decontamination (Decon) in emergency medical services and fire communities. He explained that decon is often viewed as unattractive compared to more exciting aspects like detection and triage, and highlighted two key misconceptions: how clean is clean, and that decon has been overcomplicated. Amit emphasized the importance of hybrid decon approaches combining dry and wet methods, and stressed that while there’s no silver bullet solution, having the right knowledge and tools is crucial, particularly noting that water and dilution are not always the best approaches. CBRN Patient Decontamination Method AmitKapoor explained the BAR method (Blot, Apply, Remove) for decontaminating patients at CBRN incidents using FiberTech material, which is a DOD-funded textile containing activated carbon that absorbs and holds chemical threats. He demonstrated the method using a kitchen cleaning analogy, showing how contamination should first be blotted up, then a cleaning solution applied, and finally any remaining contamination removed. Jamie expressed interest in learning more about organizations’ responses to this approach and requested more information about presentations at conferences. Hospital Decontamination Systems Training Amit Kapoor discussed hospital decontamination systems and training approaches, explaining how his company provides modular decon kits (MDK) that can scale from single patients to mass casualties, along with comprehensive training programs including online courses and a free Decon Field Guide app. The discussion highlighted the importance of proper decon training, with Amit noting that many hospitals only train staff once yearly on outdated mass-casualty protocols rather than addressing everyday contamination scenarios. T he conversation also covered access to training resources through Firstline Technology’s learning management system and the need for better preparation across fire departments, EMS agencies, and hospitals for various contamination threats. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

This week on the Disaster Podcast Dr. Joe Holley comes on the show for a clinical update episode on Heat-Related Medical Emergencies. As we head into the summer months here in the Northern Hemisphere, the likelihood of encountering patients with heat emergencies increases. For disaster responders in the summertime, the risks are even greater as they wear gear and carry equipment that adds to their load while working in hot weather. Co-Hosts Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis join Joe on the discussion. Types of heat emergencies Heat Cramps – The symptoms of heat cramps include painful involuntary muscle spasms brought on by loss of sodium through excessive sweating. Most often seen in people exerting themselves in extreme heat situations without rehydrating themselves or taking adequate breaks to allow the body cool down. Heat Exhaustion – Next on the spectrum of heat emergencies is heat exhaustion which progresses from heat cramps as the body starts to lose the ability to compensate for lack of adequate cooling. Symptoms include early signs of shock like dizziness, nausea, cool, pale, and clammy skin. Heat Stroke – The most severe level of heat emergency is heat stroke which is a true medical emergency that may result in permanent disability or death. Hot, dry skin, loss of consciousness, and complete failure of the body’s cooling mechanisms are key signs.

Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Heat Safety and Weather Discussion The group discussed weather conditions and heat safety. Sam shared updates about her new home in Missouri, including drainage issues due to lower acreage and recent heavy rains. Joe explained how humidity affects the body’s cooling system, noting that high humidity makes sweat less effective at evaporating and cooling the body, which can increase the risk of heat illness for people transitioning from drier climates. Heat Illness Spectrum and Prevention Joe explained the spectrum of heat illnesses, from heat cramps (caused by heavy sweating and salt loss leading to muscle cramps) to heat exhaustion (when cooling mechanisms fail and body temperature rises, causing symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and clammy skin) to heat stroke (when internal temperature exceeds 104°F with severe neurological and cardiovascular effects). Jamie asked about factors affecting the progression from milder to severe heat illness, to which Joe responded that various factors including physical condition, medical conditions, medications, ambient conditions, and physical activity all influence how quickly someone might progress through the heat illness spectrum. Joe emphasized the importance of prevention through proper education, preparation, and having readily available cooling methods, noting that work cycles may need to be limited in extreme heat conditions. Heat Management in Disaster Situations Joe explained that preparing for heat management in disaster situations is crucial, especially for first responders working in austere environments with limited support systems. He highlighted the increased physical and mental demands of search and rescue operations in debris-filled areas following adverse weather conditions. When asked about immediate actions for heat stroke emergencies, Joe indicated that it is a life-threatening situation requiring immediate attention, though the specific response was not fully detailed in the transcript. Heat Stroke Treatment Techniques Joe shared his experience with a 16-year-old who suffered heat stroke during football practice, explaining the importance of cooling techniques like exposing skin, using water and fans, and eventually ice baths for treatment. He emphasized the need to monitor body temperature and avoid overcooling, noting that recovery from heat stroke typically requires intensive care and is not possible in the field. When asked by Jamie about managing teams in extreme conditions, Joe’s response was cut off at the end of the transcript. Heat Safety Response Procedures Joe explained the primary methods for managing heat safety during responses, including the buddy system and using cooling stations like ambulances or air-conditioned vehicles with vital sign monitoring every 30 minutes. He noted that dogs can only work for about 15 minutes in hot weather before needing downtime due to their fur covering and inability to communicate thirst effectively. Heat Stress Signs in Dogs The discussion focused on recognizing signs of heat stress in dogs, with Joe explaining that behavioral changes, lack of response to commands, stumbling, heavy panting, and laying down in cool areas are key indicators. Joe noted that dogs primarily regulate temperature through panting rather than sweating, and mentioned that temperatures over 103 degrees are considered high for dogs, with many dogs having temperature chips for monitoring. Jamie emphasized the importance of refreshing knowledge about heat stress as summer and hurricane season approach, highlighting the need for people to know their limitations and watch out for each other during emergency responses. Paragon Training Activities Planning Joe discussed upcoming training activities for Paragon, including attending the Gathering of Eagles conference in Florida and conducting cadaver-based procedural training for paramedic programs. The group shared their social media handles and podcast information, with Jamie encouraging listeners to subscribe to the Disaster Podcast. The conversation concluded with well-wishes for Joe’s upcoming conference trip and acknowledgment of his busy schedule. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

This week on the Disaster Podcast we take a look at the 2026 hurricane forecast put out by several universities, NOAA, and groups like Accuweather. One key variable in predicting the coming season is the presence or absence of El Niño or La Niña in the equatorial region of the central Pacific Ocean. Dan DePodwin, our disaster weather expert breaks down the coming forecast and talks about how global weather and climate patterns impact storm formation half a world away. Dr. Joe Holley joins the discussion as well and we look at the messaging around hurricanes as they approach landfall. The National Hurricane Center recently updated their forecast cone graphic to make it easier to understand. Dan and Joe share their thoughts about the adjustments and about disaster messaging in general. Joe also shares his thoughts about preparedness for the coming season at the local, state, and federal levels. What to know about the new cone graphic: Incorporates all land-based (coastal and inland) tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings in effect for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; Uses single shading for the entire 5-day outlook cone; Legend depicts symbols for areas where a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning are both in effect (represented by diagonal pink and blue lines); and Full and intermediate Tropical Cyclone Advisories are/will be publicly available on hurricanes.gov. NHC will also be introducing a new experimental version of the NHC's Tropical Cyclone Track Forecast Cone. Since its debut in 2002, the cone has shown where the tropical cyclone's forecast center is likely to go, based on past forecast calculations.

Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Hurricane Season Forecast Discussion The podcast host Jamie Davis welcomed back Dr. Joe and Dan Depodwin to discuss upcoming weather events, particularly the hurricane season. Dr. Joe shared his upcoming schedule, including a Paragon lab in Florida and the First Care Conference in Fort Lauderdale in early June, which runs alongside the Gathering of the Eagles event. Dan discussed unusual weather patterns in the Northeast, noting chilly conditions in May despite early warm spells, and shared AccuWeather’s forecast for the Atlantic hurricane season, predicting 11-16 named storms and 4-7 hurricanes, which is around or slightly below average. He emphasized that even in a below-average season, multiple hurricanes could still impact the United States, using Hurricane Andrew in 1992 as an example. El Nino’s Impact on Hurricanes Dan and Jamie discussed how El Nino and La Nina affect hurricane seasons in the Atlantic Basin. Dan explained that El Nino, characterized by warmer than average water temperatures in the Pacific, typically leads to increased wind shear in the Atlantic, resulting in fewer hurricanes. They noted that while El Nino years generally have fewer storms, they don’t eliminate the possibility of storms. Dan mentioned that current forecasts indicate a strong or potentially record-breaking El Nino developing later in the summer and continuing into the fall. El Niño and Hurricane Season Dan explained that El Niño is driven by weakening easterly winds along the equator in the Pacific Ocean, which reduces cooler water upwelling and leads to warmer ocean temperatures. He noted that hurricanes play a crucial role in transferring energy globally by moving heat from the equator to higher latitudes. Dan emphasized that while this year’s hurricane season may have fewer storms than normal, the warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico will continue to fuel storm intensification, making preparation essential during the season running from June 1st to November 30th. Hurricane Preparedness and Response Planning The group discussed hurricane preparedness and response capabilities ahead of the upcoming hurricane season. Joe explained FEMA’s reorganization, noting that while federal response capabilities are effective, there may be variability in state-level preparedness and recovery efforts. The discussion included an analysis of updated National Hurricane Center forecast cone graphics, which now better show inland risks and warning areas. Dan and Joe emphasized the importance of heeding evacuation orders and preparing well in advance of storms, with Joe highlighting the need for experiential training and partnership between federal and state teams. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

Bravery is doing the right thing even if you aren't sure you will succeed

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 11, 2026 is: paragon • PAIR-uh-gahn • noun Paragon is a formal word that refers to a person or thing that is perfect or excellent in some way and should be considered a model or example to be copied. // In Arthurian legend, Sir Galahad is depicted as a paragon of virtue. See the entry > Examples: "With a bar staff locally renowned for its cocktails, curated French cuisine, an extensive champagne menu and immaculately stylish atmosphere ... Claude is the local paragon of elegance." — Elijah Decious, The Gazette (Cedar Rapids, Iowa), 18 Feb. 2026 Did you know? Paragon comes from the Old Italian word paragone, which literally means "touchstone." A touchstone is a black stone that was formerly used to judge the purity of gold or silver. The metal was rubbed on the stone and the color of the streak it left indicated its quality. In modern English, both touchstone and paragon have come to signify a standard against which something should be judged. Ultimately, paragon comes from the Greek verb parakonan, meaning "to sharpen," from the prefix para- ("alongside of") and akonē, meaning "whetstone."

New Look to Forecast Cone Today on the Disaster Podcast, co-host Sam Bradley and I discuss her recent move from Colorado to Missouri. She almost immediately ran into severe weather in the new house and talks about the things she did to improve her preparedness in the face of a change of location. Sam’s experience during the move had a profound impact on her and led her to locate the nearest shelter to their home for storm safety. We also looked at the upcoming hurricane season and discussed a quick overview of the 2026 hurricane forecast. We’ll have a more in-depth discussion with our meteorologists in a coming episode. One interesting topic that came up was the updated messaging from the National Hurricane Center and their cone of forecast track for hurricanes. They implemented new messaging upgrades to the graphic. What to know about the new cone graphic: Incorporates all land-based (coastal and inland) tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings in effect for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; Uses single shading for the entire 5-day outlook cone; Legend depicts symbols for areas where a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning are both in effect (represented by diagonal pink and blue lines); and Full and intermediate Tropical Cyclone Advisories are/will be publicly available on hurricanes.gov.

Podcast Discussion Summary Hurricane Season Preparation Discussion Sam shared her recent experience moving from suburban Colorado to rural Missouri, including challenges with severe weather, particularly tornado warnings during her drive. The group discussed upcoming hurricane season predictions, noting that while the storm count is projected to be near to below average, the risk remains significant due to potential rapid intensification and elevated early season threats. Jamie emphasized the importance of being prepared for hurricane season by having emergency supplies ready and staying informed through local emergency management centers and weather forecasts. Hurricane Forecast Graphics Updates Jamie and Sam discussed updates to hurricane forecast cone graphics from the National Hurricane Center, which will now include tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings, as well as single shading for the entire 5-day cone outlook. Jamie explained that these changes aim to make the information more understandable and help people better assess their risk and evacuation needs. They also discussed the importance of staying informed through apps and alerts, emphasizing the need for immediate action during severe weather events. Weather Updates and Emergency Preparedness Jamie and Sam discussed the impact of constant weather updates and news notifications on public awareness and decision-making. They also talked about military drills, with Sam sharing his experience from a 2015-2016 Urban Shield exercise in Alameda County that involved emergency services training. Sam described how the realistic nature of the exercise surprised some hospital interns who initially viewed it negatively but gained valuable insights during the debriefing. Emergency Response Training Collaboration Sam and Jamie discussed emergency response training, particularly focusing on the evolution of collaboration between police, fire, and EMS teams in active shooter situations. They highlighted the development of training programs like Rescue Task Force and Active Violence Emergency Response Training (AVIRT), which aim to improve coordination and patient care in high-risk scenarios.

This episode of Talking Trek was originally intended to be a livestream, not a traditional podcast recording. Because of that, the format is not perfectly “podcast clean” in every moment, with some live-chat interaction, stream chaos, and real-time gameplay mixed in. But the conversation around the Paragon Recruit event, officer sourcing, spending value, community frustration, and the broader direction of Star Trek Fleet Command was strong enough that we felt it deserved to be published for the podcast audience. DJz, Jules Verne, Matters, XeroGees, and the community dig into why the Paragon Recruit event felt so bad, how the 90-pull guarantee and diluted chest design landed with players, and why even spenders walked away feeling punished instead of rewarded. The show also explores the bigger question: is this just one bad event, or part of a larger reset in the STFC economy? Later in the show, the crew pivots into Duo Wave Defense strategy, updated crewing advice, real-time testing, officer sourcing choices, and the value of wave completion versus pushing too high too quickly. It is part breakdown, part therapy session, part teaching stream, and part “what in the actual galaxy is happening right now?” energy.   00:09 Stream opens with Ghost Energy, chat chaos, and pantsless tradition 05:31 DJz jokes about “proper communication” and a future heroic spend event 07:01 Xero's frustration and why even longtime players need a break 12:03 Xero explains what finally pushed him away from Fleet Command 20:43 DJz frames the night: community sound-off, teaching, and surviving together 21:34 Paragon Recruit warning: no current plan for the event to return 24:02 Why the Paragon chest concept was not the problem, but the bloat was 25:29 The awkward 90-pull guarantee math and why the spend felt intentional 32:19 Jules explains the Vengeance Is Mine dilemma and the Paragon trap 33:59 $350+ in value and still only halfway to Academy Doctor 35:01 Officer acquisition reset, or something far worse than a reset? 39:01 Community fear: are these changes pushing players out? 47:36 DJz shares the professional message he sent about recent STFC decisions 54:32 Paragon called out as vague, shiny, RNG-heavy, and “gambly” 56:01 Direct warning: Paragon was a single-run event, subject to change 57:38 Cadre Recruit preview and why it looks like the same mechanic again 01:06:43 Trying to find the positive: Alliance Tournament and Duo Wave Defense 01:12:16 The larger theory: new player resets, old player fatigue, and game direction 01:20:16 STFC is not shutting down, but it may be shaving life off itself 01:25:07 Revenue, whales, burnout, and whether top spenders are “acceptable casualties” 01:34:38 Wave Defense Battle Pass value and why some players may not need to panic 01:43:51 DJz admits this was not planned as a podcast, but the conversation is strong 01:50:38 DJz talks diversification, Pokemon Go Fest, and creator-life strategy 02:00:14 Why STFC is a different game now than veterans remember 02:09:59 Duo Wave Defense Part 2 begins with Jules Verne coaching strategy 02:20:00 Preparing DJz's first Duo Wave Defense run on Server 15 02:35:17 Which officer to choose from the Paragon guarantee, if you chase it 02:38:26 Target levels, ship choices, and why level 68s matter in Duo Waves 02:44:00 Protector placement, wave tricks, and old group-wave tactics 02:50:30 Live Duo Wave Defense run begins 02:58:22 Wave strategy: what to kill, what to ignore, and where hostiles spawn 03:07:27 Officer Laurels, future sourcing, and why Genesis may be worth chasing 03:08:06 Duo Wave Defense strategy wrap-up and lessons learned 03:14:07 Bonus chaos: cow video narration, documentaries, and post-show nonsense 03:20:02 Podcast outro for a livestream that unexpectedly became publishable

The April 30th arc day in Star Trek Fleet Command was… a lot. Battle passes went down, came back up, reset, went down again, players got compensation promises, research rollbacks hit 1,719 accounts, and the community started asking whether this was just a bug day or a full systems parade of gremlins in the Jeffries tubes. In this episode of Talking Trek Live, DJz, Griffin, Tarpy, Jules Verne, and the community break down what happened with the battle pass, why the research rollback mattered, whether Digit vs. Scopely responsibility changes the conversation, and what players should know about duo wave defense. Jules also brings the classroom energy with real duo wave defense testing, hypothermic decay math, repair drone mechanics, bugs found in the mode, and a deep dive into the new Paragon recruit math and value concerns.   01:03 Show open: the arc disaster begins 08:16 Stupid News returns to the chaos desk 16:28 DJz's missing Junkers and customer service comedy 23:40 Battle Pass Update: the sequel nobody ordered 31:01 Research rollback, 1,719 accounts, and why it had to happen 38:59 Were buildings and ships affected too? 46:00 “Oopsie poopsie,” exploit correction, and the missing undo button 52:04 Did the rollback break the battle pass? 57:18 70,000 battle pass points and the second relaunch problem 01:04:37 Why DJz is saying Digit instead of just Scopely 01:12:49 Scopely responsibility vs. Digit execution 01:19:00 Jules Verne enters with duo wave defense testing 01:27:00 Venari Ral, hypothermic decay, and repair drone mechanics 01:35:00 Duo wave maps, allowed hostiles, and carry-a-friend strategy 01:43:10 Duo wave defense takeaways and video intro chaos 01:51:00 Crew tweaks, impulse speed, and Griffin's squishy science lab 01:59:06 Paragon recruit value math begins 02:07:32 “Chance of nothing” and the $600 comparison 02:16:05 Paragon pools, rerolls, and the “guarantee” explained 02:24:01 Changing math, confusing sourcing, and final arc frustration 02:29:10 Closing thoughts, margarita math, and the end of the doozy

Send us Fan MailEarly Life & Background Kim and Nathaniel grew up in rural Kentucky, meeting in high school with lockers across the hall from each other. They worked together at a local Winn-Dixie grocery store before college, where Nathaniel pursued psychology and Kim studied occupational therapy. Both eventually moved to the Lexington area after graduating.Rise in Rock Crawling The couple stumbled into competitive rock crawling through friends in Lexington, entering their first competition—NeuRock at Paragon in Pennsylvania—in a stock class YJ. Kim finished 3rd out of 30 competitors that year. They progressed quickly, building courses at EROC events, with Nathaniel becoming a head judge and Kim earning recognition as one of the few female competitors on the East Coast.Competition Highlights Their most memorable moment came in a rock race at Alabama where Kim flipped her buggy twice, landed on all fours, and continued without hesitation. They competed from 2003 to 2011, attending King of the Hammers twice and nearly finishing in Kim's second attempt with just 13 miles remaining. A serious injury at the Badlands early in their marriage reminded them of competition's risks.Life After Competition As they prioritized family and saw unlimited-class costs skyrocket, they retired from racing to start a family. Nathaniel discovered brewing, earning his certification and launching Next Level Brewing Company in December 2019. Kim remained in occupational therapy for 22+ years. Now they coach youth football, fish, and enjoy outdoor activities with their son Mason and three rescue boxers. Support the show

Hail Damage This episode of the Disaster Podcast featured a discussion about resilience and preparedness with guest Jake Sorber from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS). Jake explained IBHS’s research on severe weather hazards, particularly focusing on hail damage and wind-driven hail, which can cause significant additional damage to homes. He described IBHS’s unique ability to manufacture scientific ice spheres to accurately test building materials’ resistance to hail impacts. Becky DePodwin, our disaster emergency management expert joined the discussion along with our episode host, Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Disaster Podcast: Resilience and Preparedness Jamie Davis welcomed listeners to the Disaster Podcast and introduced the topic of resilience and preparedness. He noted that Sam was unavailable due to her recent move, but Becky was present as a guest. Jamie then introduced Jake Sorber, a research project scientist at the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, who discussed his background in atmospheric science and his current work studying the effects of hail and wind on residential homes and commercial structures. IBHS Structure Testing and Mitigation Jake explained how IBHS, an insurance industry organization, was founded to conduct full-scale testing of structures to better understand vulnerabilities to severe weather events like hurricanes, hail, tornadoes, and wildfires. He described a specific hailstorm in Rock Hill, South Carolina in April 2024 that demonstrated how wind-driven hail can cause damage beyond rooftops, including siding and windows, which can lead to water intrusion and significantly increase losses by 2-4 times. Jake emphasized the importance of identifying “damage amplifiers” – structural elements that fail and cause disproportionate damage, which helps in developing mitigation strategies. Hail Risk and Insurance Insights Jake explained that there is limited historical data on wind-driven hail frequency, and IBHS is developing an instrument to measure impact angles and forces during their annual hail field campaign. He noted that while storm severity has shifted, socioeconomic factors like urban sprawl and increased building costs have had a greater impact on insured losses than weather changes. Jake mentioned that severe convective storms now cause annual losses of $40-60 billion, up from $15 billion historically, primarily due to increased population in hazard areas rather than increased weather risk. Hail-Resistant Building Materials Assessment Jake explained that hail-resistant building materials do exist and are assessed based on IBHS’s testing protocol, which involves simulating hailstorms in a lab. He mentioned that synthetic composite roofs like F-Wave and metal roofs perform well against hail damage, though metal roofs may have cosmetic issues. Jake noted that while some materials like synthetic composites show no damage after multiple hail exposures, the distinction between cosmetic and functional damage is important to consider. Residential Building Weather Resilience Jake from IBHS discussed residential building resilience against severe weather hazards. He explained that while completely hazard-proof homes don’t exist, building materials and construction methods can significantly reduce risk, particularly in high-risk areas like Tornado Alley. Jake described IBHS’s work on developing resilience scores for structures and their unique ability to manufacture hailstones for testing building materials. He also covered wildfire preparedness, emphasizing the importance of defensible space and structure separation. The discussion concluded with information about IBHS resources available at ibhs.org.

The Dirt Reporters Episode 259: Paragon by DirtonDirt.com

Sonnet Daymont, clinical therapist, joins the show this week with a look at the treatment and management of mental health trauma in both victims and responders following a major event. Her experiences following devastating wild fires in the Los Angeles area in January of 2025 help her define the needs of individuals in the short and long term. Dr. Joe Holley from Paragon Medical Education Group and Becky DePodwin, our disaster emergency management expert joined the discussion as well. The episode is co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Disaster Podcast Planning Meeting The team introduced themselves and discussed upcoming topics for the Disaster Podcast. Sam mentioned moving to Missouri and plans to build a tornado shelter in his garage. Becky advised keeping an eye on the severe weather forecast during the move. The group then introduced their guest for the episode, trauma expert Sonnet Daymont, who is a licensed marriage and family therapist and consultant on films. They discussed her background and her upcoming book “When Dangerous Feels Like Home,” a true crime memoir about healing from trauma. Sonnet’s Trauma Therapy Memoir Discussion The discussion focused on Sonnet’s background as a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in trauma treatment. She explained her upcoming book “When Dangerous Feels Like Home,” which is a true crime-inflected memoir about her journey to becoming a therapist through experiencing relational trauma. The conversation also touched on Sonnet’s work in the film industry, including consulting on a horror film about child abuse titled “Women in the Yard.” When asked about red flags for narcissistic personality traits, she began explaining how these traits relate to antisocial personality disorder and the challenges they present in relationships, though the transcript ended before she could complete her answer. Narcissistic Behavior Identification Discussion Sonnet advised that identifying narcissistic behavior involves paying attention to genuine empathy and listening carefully to others. They explained that while some behaviors like love bombing and grandiosity can be normal early in relationships, pathological versions might indicate manipulative or harmful intentions. Sonnet also clarified that mental health disorders like narcissism lack biomarkers and diagnostic criteria change over time, while explaining that Machiavellianism describes manipulative and cunning behavior lacking empathy. Psychological Disorders and Resilience The group discussed psychological disorders, focusing on the differences between psychopathy and antisocial personality disorder as defined in the DSM. Sonnet explained that while these conditions share some traits like low empathy, they represent distinct diagnostic categories, and individuals can exhibit multiple disorders simultaneously. Becky raised questions about nature versus nurture in personality development, to which Sonnet responded that brain scans show differences in people with reduced empathy or antisocial behavior, though the cause could be either genetic or environmental factors. The conversation then shifted to trauma and resilience, with Sonnet sharing insights about how supportive caregivers or mentors can help individuals process trauma constructively rather than developing problematic behaviors. Jamie introduced a new topic about disaster resilience, asking about preparation methods for people living in disaster-prone areas, but the transcript ended before this question was addressed. Disaster Responder Mental Health Strategies The meeting focused on discussing self-care and mental health strategies for disaster responders and survivors. Sonnet explained key components of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including mindful awareness, thought restructuring, and exposure therapy, as effective tools for managing trauma and anxiety. The discussion highlighted how community support and social connections are crucial during disasters, with examples from recent wildfires in Los Angeles. The group agreed to bring back Sonnet for future discussions on mental health topics, particularly focusing on meteorologists’ experiences with disaster forecasting and its impact on their mental well-being. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe.

The Disaster Podcast hosted Ben Gilliland from Future Proof Property Intelligence to discuss his company’s AI-powered solution for assessing and mitigating climate-related risks to homes. Ben explained how their technology uses smartphone video scans, NVIDIA AI, and IBM climate data to create 3D models of properties, identify risk factors, and provide remediation plans and cost estimates. The discussion covered how their system addresses the mismatch between rising weather risks and shrinking insurance options, with an average cost of $10,000-$40,000 for home remediation. Becky DePodwin joined the call as well to offer her thoughts on this technology. The episode is co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Disaster Response Program Evolution The group discussed Joe, a Memphis-based medical director and ER doctor who runs Pentagon Medical Education Group, which provides experiential training for disaster responders using cadaver labs. Benjamin shared that his organization has shifted focus to develop a private sector solution for disaster mitigation after FEMA’s funding changes, working with Thomas Chandler from Columbia on developing remediation programs. Benjamin explained how their program has evolved to include three main areas: remediation, education, and preparedness, moving from a initial focus on house hardening to a broader approach including people engagement and warning systems. Resilience Technology Podcast Preparation The meeting focused on preparing for an upcoming podcast episode about using technology to enhance home and workplace resilience. Benjamin Gilliland from Future Proof Property Intelligence was introduced as the guest. The hosts, Jamie and Sam, discussed the format of the podcast and introduced Becky, a meteorologist and emergency management expert, as a participant. The conversation briefly touched on weather conditions and El Nino before transitioning to prepare for the main discussion about resilience technology. AI-Powered Home Assessment Solution Benjamin shared his extensive background, from his early career in lighting design for rock bands to his involvement in early Silicon Valley computing, where he funded several technology projects including the first spelling checker and multimedia initiatives. He explained how his non-profit TPHA.org, which focuses on affordable and climate-resilient housing in Hawaii, led to the development of Future Proof’s AI-powered solution. The system uses iPhone video recordings to create 3D models of homes, generating repair plans, budgets, and material lists while also identifying available government grants and financing options for home improvements. Disaster Preparedness and Risk Mitigation Benjamin and Sam discussed disaster preparedness and risk mitigation, particularly focusing on a three-silo approach involving home assessments, education, and emergency alerts. Benjamin explained their work with Columbia University, which includes developing a vision system using AI to help homeowners identify safe areas in their homes during disasters, while simultaneously creating video records of their belongings for insurance purposes. They also discussed a comfort bot with patent-pending technology that can adjust its messaging based on the listener’s age and situation during emergency alerts. AI Emergency Warning Conflicts Becky raised concerns about how AI systems might handle competing emergency warnings, such as conflicting advice during Hurricane Ida where tornado and flooding warnings contradicted each other. Benjamin acknowledged this was still an area being developed, mentioning NVIDIA’s work on reasoning components and noting that while the system could potentially handle house-related alerts, direct AI instructions for emergency warnings were still 2-3 years away. The discussion highlighted the need to address how AI systems might triage conflicting alerts based on house mapping and personal information, though current AI trustworthiness for direct emergency instructions was deemed insufficient. Address-Level Risk Assessment System Benjamin explained that their risk assessment system operates at the address level rather than broader grid squares, providing more granular data than what insurance companies currently use. He described how they can identify specific risk factors like trees near homes in Southern California versus central Missouri, where different hazards prevail. The system aims to empower homeowners with property risk information while creating a bridge between homeowners and insurance companies, allowing for better-informed decisions about insurance and potential remediation work. AI-Driven Home Hardening Initiative Benjamin and Jamie discussed the importance of homeowners advocating for themselves with insurance companies regarding home hardening measures. Benjamin shared that they are building a collective expertise, including partnerships with NVIDIA and Lawrence Livermore Labs for AI model validation, and Columbia University for educational content and chatbot development. The team is developing AI tools to help homeowners, contractors, and insurers, with plans to automate forms processing and certification of completed work. Benjamin emphasized the life-saving potential of their technology while ensuring proper guardrails are in place, particularly given the AI’s deep learning capabilities. Magic Window App Discussion Benjamin discussed the Magic Window app, which assesses weather risks and helps homeowners address damage, noting that it started as a non-profit educational tool before becoming a public benefit corporation. He shared that the average cost to remediate a house is estimated at $10,000 to $40,000, with an aggressive federal program potentially saving 80% of at-risk homes over 20 years. Benjamin and Becky highlighted the app’s potential benefits, particularly in preventing wildfire damage through defensible space creation, while acknowledging challenges in addressing natural hazards like sea level rise. Climate Change Risk Assessment App Benjamin discussed the implications of climate change using his FutureProof app, which analyzes risks for specific locations. He highlighted that Riverside, California, and an area near Dallas are expected to face the worst conditions in the U.S. by 2075-2100. The app, available through the Apple Store and Google Play Store, provides detailed risk assessments and reports for $24, helping individuals understand their vulnerability to seven major disasters. Benjamin encouraged listeners to spread awareness about the issue and visit futureproof.org for more information.
