I want to talk with you," Jisoo said.Ko: "응, 좋아. 근데 언니, 요즘 왜 이렇게 걱정이 많아 보여?" 민준이 물었다.En: "Okay, sure. But sister, you seem really worried these days. Why is that?" Minjun asked.Ko: 지수는 한숨을 쉬며 말했다. "사실 말이야... 내가 요즘 미래에 대해 많이 불안해. 무언가 놓치고 있는 것 같아. 너도 그런 느낌을 받을까 걱정이야."En: Jisoo sighed and said, "The truth is... I've been really anxious about the future lately. I feel like I've been missing something. I'm worried you might feel the same way."Ko: 민준은 잠시 생각하더니 솔직히 말했다. "난 어렸을 때부터 꿈이 많았는데, 요즘은 그 꿈들이 의미가 없는 것 같아. 다들 정해진 대로 살아가라고 말해서..."En: Minjun, after thinking for a moment, spoke honestly, "I had a lot of dreams since I was young, but these days, they don't seem to have meaning. Everyone keeps telling me to follow the set path..."Ko: 지수는 민준을 보며 고개를 끄덕였다. "나도 알아. 하지만, 너는 너만의 길을 찾으면 돼. 남들이 뭐라고 해도, 네 마음을 따르는 게 중요해."En: Jisoo nodded, looking at Minjun. "I understand. But you should find your own path. No matter what others say, it's important to follow your heart."Ko: 두 사람은 산길에서 함께 멈춰섰다.En: The two stopped together on the mountain path.Ko: 앉아서 주변을 바라보며, 서로의 고충을 이해하기 시작했다.En: Sitting and looking around, they began to understand each other's hardships.Ko: 그 순간, 설악산의 나무와 바위가 그들을 감싸 안아 주었다.En: At that moment, the trees and rocks of Seoraksan embraced them.Ko: "언니, 고마워. 이렇게 이야기하니까 마음이 편해졌어," 민준이 말했다.En: "Sister, thank you. Talking like this makes my heart feel at ease," Minjun said.Ko: 지수는 그의 손을 꼭 잡았다. "나도 앞으로는 내 걱정이나 기대보다는 네 말을 더 잘 들을게. 우리 서로 도우면서 가자."En: Jisoo held his hand tightly. "I will listen to you more than my own worries and expectations from now on. Let's support each other."Ko: 그들은 함께 경치를 감상하며 기나긴 침묵 속에서 서로의 존재와 결정을 응원했다.En: They admired the scenery together, encouraging each other's presence and decisions in a long silence.Ko: 설악산의 전망대에서 둘의 마음은 더 가까워지고 있었다.En: On the observatory of Seoraksan, their hearts drew closer.Ko: 이제 지수는 동생을 보호하지 않아도 될 만큼 민준이 강하다는 것을 알았다. 민준 역시 자신감을 얻고, 자신의 길을 찾기로 결심했다.En: Now, Jisoo understood that Minjun was strong enough not to need her protection anymore, and Minjun gained the confidence to find his own path.Ko: 짙은 초록의 숲과 웅장한 산봉우리 속에서, 두 사람은 진정한 이해와 지지를 나눴다.En: In the deep green forest and majestic mountain peaks, the two shared true understanding and support.Ko: 그렇게 따뜻한 여름날, 설악산 속의 그들이 선택한 길은 서로의 손을 잡고, 눈에 보이지 않는 응원을 얻는 것이었다.En: On that warm summer day in Seoraksan, the path they chose was to hold each other's hand and receive invisible encouragement.

Teach Me Your Paths[a] Of David.25 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.2 O my God, in you I trust;    let me not be put to shame;    let not my enemies exult over me.3 Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame;    they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.4 Make me to know your ways, O Lord;    teach me your paths.5 Lead me in your truth and teach me,    for you are the God of my salvation;    for you I wait all the day long.6 Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,    for they have been from of old.7 Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;    according to your steadfast love remember me,    for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!8 Good and upright is the Lord;    therefore he instructs sinners in the way.9 He leads the humble in what is right,    and teaches the humble his way.10 All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,    for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.11 For your name's sake, O Lord,    pardon my guilt, for it is great.12 Who is the man who fears the Lord?    Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.13 His soul shall abide in well-being,    and his offspring shall inherit the land.14 The friendship[b] of the Lord is for those who fear him,    and he makes known to them his covenant.15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,    for he will pluck my feet out of the net.16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,    for I am lonely and afflicted.17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;    bring me out of my distresses.18 Consider my affliction and my trouble,    and forgive all my sins.19 Consider how many are my foes,    and with what violent hatred they hate me.20 Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!    Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me,    for I wait for you.22 Redeem Israel, O God,    out of all his troubles.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Six years of uncertainty, navigating a high-stakes third-party journey, and finding the courage to redefine motherhood on her own terms. In this episode of Real Things Living, Brigitte Cutshall speaks with Leslie Lopez, founder and host of the Mothers in Arms podcast. Leslie opens up about her personal six-year journey navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and the decision to leave her marriage to pursue motherhood through third-party reproduction. She shares the emotional, financial, and societal realities of using egg/sperm donors and surrogacy, dismantling myths around fertility statistics and highlighting the profound healing found in building a supportive community. Key Takeaways(1) Infertility affects 1 in 6 people worldwide, across every race and background. The "it doesn't happen to us" myths are just myths.(2) Surrogacy and donor conception are more accessible than people assume. Grants, loans, and even employer programs are opening the door beyond just the wealthy.(3) Get specialized legal and mental health support. A general therapist or a skipped notarized agreement can leave real gaps in a third-party journey.Connect with Leslie Lopez and listen to the Mothers in Arms podcast on YouTube, Spotify, TikTok, or Instagram (@mothersinarms.pod) to join a growing community advocating for fertility awareness and reproductive freedom.Links referenced:https://www.cryobank.com/https://www.tsonglaw.com/ivf-calculatorhttps://www.counselingwithjoey.com/https://www.get-carrot.com/https://seedsethics.org/https://www.thesurrogacyfoundation.org/

Hit up https://www.instagram.com/pathsofrhythmpodcast/This week's guest is a Yorkshireman I'd heard whispered about by more than one person in the scene before I ever got him on the mic — David Piccioni. Born to an Italian father and South African mother and raised in Huddersfield, David got his real education in a punk scene that had him sneaking into soundchecks before he'd even worked out he wanted to DJ. A few years later, economics and politics at Liverpool University led him straight into throwing his own parties and playing American import records at Liverpool's Wednesday night club nights — and by 1986 he'd saved up for a one-way flight to New York with £300 in a bag and no contacts waiting for him.What followed is the kind of story you can only get firsthand: getting schooled at Paradise Garage under Larry Levan, soaking up David Mancuso's Loft, and becoming one of the biggest DJs in the city within two years. When he came home to London, David co-owned Black Market Records with Nicky Blackmarket — the shop that helped break UK jungle and drum & bass upstairs while he ran the house side — before founding Azuli Records, a label that got away with pretending to be American for years, broke Afro Medusa's "Pasilda" and Spiller's "Groove Jet," and put out the Late Night Tales and Choice compilation series. When digital killed the vinyl business, David didn't look back — he moved to Ibiza and built a restaurant instead. This one's full of stories you won't find written down anywhere else.Topics covered:Growing up in Huddersfield and sneaking into gigs during its punk sceneMissing the Sex Pistols at Ivanhoe's on Christmas DayThe move to Liverpool University and falling into DJing by accidentSaving up for a one-way flight to New York in 1986Getting schooled at Paradise Garage by Larry Levan, and David Mancuso's LoftComing home to co-own Black Market Records with Nicky BlackmarketBuilding Azuli Records — and the fake American label trick that fooled the industry for yearsBreaking Afro Medusa's "Pasilda" and turning down Spiller's "Groove Jet"Curating the Late Night Tales and Choice compilation seriesWhy Azuli couldn't survive the shift from vinyl to digitalTrading the dancefloor for a restaurant on a clifftop in Ibiza

What does "meaningful work" mean? How does one balance financial responsibility, familial and societal pressure in chosen career paths? Is it realistic to find joy in one's work in this day and age?

What separates the people who get stronger after a rejection from the people who stay stuck on it?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez drop the guest format for a one-on-one conversation, with Marc interviewing Ben about a piece he started writing on vacation. The trigger was an email from someone who prepared hard, didn't get the role, and said it was impossible not to take it personally. Ben explains why that reaction revealed the real subject was resilience, what he notices when debriefing candidates who bounce back versus those who don't, and why he tells people to transcribe their interviews rather than trust their memories.They explore the four ingredients Ben believes actually cultivate resilience, the one situation where sending a hiring manager more than a thank-you note can swing a decision, and the step-by-step protocol he runs when something falls apart, drawn from three layoffs, a long run of rejections before his Facebook offer, and a torn ACL.If you're coming off a rejection and trying to make sense of it, preparing for interviews and looking for a better way to debrief yourself, or just curious how two operators think about setbacks, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

CardioNerds (Drs. Apoorva Gangavelli, Jenna Skowronski, and Hannah Every) discuss the continuum of prevention and heart failure with Drs. Anu Lala and Martha Gulati. Grounded in a clinical case of a 55-year-old woman with uncontrolled hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and obesity who is on the trajectory toward heart failure, this episode unpacks a paradigm-shifting framework from a joint HFSA/ASPC Scientific Statement. The discussion explores how prevention should not be siloed from heart failure management but rather integrated across a patient’s lifespan—from primary prevention in at-risk individuals, to secondary prevention in those with established heart failure, to tertiary prevention in patients with advanced therapies such as LVADs and heart transplantation. The experts highlight the importance of aggressive risk factor management, biomarker-guided screening, the AHA’s Life’s Essential 8, and the need for multidisciplinary collaboration and systems-level change to shift heart failure care from reactive to proactive. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes.

Pearls Systemic inflammatory diseases are associated with an elevated CVD risk that has significant implications for early detection, risk Heart failure prevention is a continuum, not a checkpoint. Prevention applies at every stage—from at-risk (Stage A) through advanced/post-transplant care—and every clinical encounter is an opportunity to intervene. The AHA’s Life’s Essential 8 (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep, BMI, blood lipids, blood glucose, blood pressure) forms the foundation at every stage. Hypertension carries the highest population-attributable risk for heart failure of any modifiable risk factor. In the Framingham Heart Study, 91% of patients with newly diagnosed HF had pre-existing hypertension. The SPRINT trial demonstrated a 38% reduction in HF incidence with intensive blood pressure targets (30 ng/L or NT-proBNP >125 ng/L) identify individuals at heightened risk for progression to symptomatic HF. The ACC/AHA/HFSA guidelines give a Class IIa recommendation for natriuretic peptide screening in at-risk patients. Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) is an underutilized screening tool that provides additional insight into CKM risk. The heart failure label does not close the prevention window—it accentuates it. Secondary prevention through GDMT optimization (quadruple therapy in HFrEF) and continued risk factor management remains critical. Tertiary prevention extends to post-LVAD and post-transplant patients, where hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and CKD management remain essential to long-term outcomes. Show notes For a comprehensive review, please review the full HFSA/ASPC Joint Scientific Statement: Lala A, Beavers C, Blumer V, et al. The Continuum of Prevention and Heart Failure in Cardiovascular Medicine. J Card Fail. 2026;32:75-105. doi:10.1016/j.cardfail.2025.06.013 1. What is the “continuum of prevention” framework, and how does it differ from traditional approaches to heart failure prevention? Historically, prevention and heart failure management have been treated as separate disciplines—primary prevention handled by preventive cardiologists and treatment managed by heart failure specialists. This joint HFSA/ASPC Scientific Statement reframes prevention as a dynamic, continuous process that spans a patient’s entire lifespan, regardless of HF stage or ejection fraction. The framework maps onto the ACC/AHA HF staging system: Primary prevention targets Stage A (“at risk”) and Stage B (“pre-HF”) patients to reduce the burden of incident HF. Secondary prevention targets Stage C (symptomatic) and Stage D (advanced) patients to reduce the impact of established HF through GDMT optimization and ongoing risk factor management. Tertiary prevention encompasses risk factor management in patients with LVADs or heart transplants—populations where hypertension, diabetes, and obesity still drive outcomes. The Central Figure of the statement illustrates that Life’s Essential 8 (blood pressure and lipid control, diabetes management, exercise, sleep, smoking cessation, weight management, and diet/nutrition counseling) forms the foundation at every stage, with pharmacologic and device-based therapies layered on top as disease progresses (Figure) 2. How do traditional risk factors drive heart failure, and what should clinicians prioritize? Hypertension carries the greatest population-attributable risk for HF. In the Framingham Heart Study (N=5,143), HTN was associated with a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of HF, with a population-attributable risk of 39% in men and 59% in women. The SPRINT trial showed a 38% reduction in HF incidence and 25% reduction in the primary composite outcome with intensive BP targets (30 ng/L or NT-proBNP >125 ng/L) are associated with heightened risk for progression to symptomatic HF. In the ARIC study, incorporating NT-proBNP reclassified 20% of older adults without HF into Stage B. Factors that affect interpretation include age, sex, obesity (lower values), and CKD (higher values). High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn): Concentrations above the 99th percentile are now included in the definition of Stage B HF. Troponin testing may complement natriuretic peptides, particularly when BNP/NT-proBNP values are ambiguous. Risk scores: The PCP-HF equation predicts 10-year HF risk using traditional risk factors plus QRS duration. The AHA PREVENT score incorporates HF risk calculation and includes markers of kidney function (albuminuria, eGFR), though it may underestimate risk in men and Black adults. The CKM syndrome staging framework (Stages 0–4) provides a holistic approach to assessing systemic cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic risk. 4. What are the key nontraditional risk factors and cross-cutting themes in heart failure prevention? Genetics: Pathogenic cardiomyopathy variants exist in ~1 in 200 individuals in the general population. The HFSA and ACMG recommend cascade testing to identify at-risk family members. Polygenic risk scores for dilated cardiomyopathy show a 3.8-fold risk for DCM in the top 10th percentile compared with the median. Sex-specific considerations: Women have 2.8 times the odds of developing HFpEF, while men have similarly increased odds of HFrEF. A complete obstetric/gynecologic history is essential—preeclampsia is associated with a 4-fold increased risk of HF. Peripartum cardiomyopathy requires intentional screening in high-risk populations. Cardiotoxic exposures: Clinicians should be aware of medications that cause direct myocardial toxicity (e.g., anthracyclines, trastuzumab, tyrosine kinase inhibitors). A team-based approach with pharmacists can help optimize medication selection and risk factor modification. Social determinants of health: Environmental exposures (air pollution, arsenic, lead, cadmium), food insecurity, financial instability, and limited healthcare access contribute to HF risk and progression. Equity-focused, risk-based prevention strategies are needed. Psychological health: Depression is common in HF and independently associated with worse outcomes. Screening with brief questionnaires (e.g., PHQ-2) is recommended. Meditation, spirituality, and holistic wellness approaches remain underutilized. 5. What systems-level and policy changes are needed to move the needle on heart failure prevention? Multidisciplinary HF prevention clinics that bring together preventive cardiologists, HF specialists, endocrinologists, nephrologists, dietitians, pharmacists, exercise physiologists, and genetic counselors are advocated by the statement. EHR-embedded risk stratification could proactively flag patients on a trajectory toward HF—analogous to sepsis alerts or fall risk flags—enabling earlier intervention, particularly for patients who may not reach a cardiologist. Cardiac rehabilitation remains underutilized, particularly in HFrEF (Class 2b recommendation) and HFpEF (not yet covered by Medicare). The HF-ACTION trial showed quality-of-life benefits, and the REHAB-HF trial showed particular benefit in older patients with HFpEF. Policy priorities include expanding insurance coverage for preventive screening and novel therapies (SGLT2i, GLP-1 RAs, nsMRAs), reducing clinical inertia through team-based care models with closer follow-up intervals, and ensuring equitable access to evidence-based therapies across diverse populations. Digital health and AI hold promise for personalized risk prediction, remote monitoring (e.g., wearable devices, implantable PA pressure monitors), and virtual cardiac rehabilitation to overcome access barriers.

In this crossover episode of The Consumer Finance Podcast and Payments Pros, Taylor Gess is joined by colleagues James Stevens and Sarah Hanna from Troutman Pepper Locke's Corporate and Consumer Financial Services practices to discuss the surge of interest among fintech and point-of-sale finance companies in obtaining bank charters, acquiring existing banks, and forming bank partnerships. With the current administration signaling an open-for-business posture at the federal banking agencies, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) actively encouraging de novo applications, payment and fintech companies are weighing their options more seriously than they have in years. The conversation covers what is driving the spike in charter applications, including from companies in the crypto, lending, and payments spaces, and how specialty charters are factoring into that trend. James and Sarah also walk through the bank partnership landscape, where enforcement activity has cooled and focus has shifted, and explain how acquiring an existing bank charter compares to starting from scratch on timing, cost, and regulatory complexity. The episode closes with practical guidance for point-of-sale finance companies considering any of these three paths, including why building internal compliance infrastructure early, engaging regulators informally, and retaining regulatory counsel sooner rather than later can make or break a successful launch.

The next generation of financial advisors and leaders are not asking for a job, they're asking for a future. Ray Sclafani explores why career pathing has evolved from a nice-to-have benefit into the most critical retention lever advisory firms have. Drawing on Deloitte's 2025 research showing only 6% of Gen Z and Millennials prioritize reaching a leadership position, Ray unpacks what ambition actually looks like today: growth, meaning, money, well-being, and a thoughtful pace of development.For advisory firm owners and leaders, the implications are direct. A firm with no clear development path doesn't stand still, it falls behind. This episode provides a five-part framework for building career pathways that work. Ray then shares a practical starting point: a single career conversation in the next 60 to 90 days that changes how your people feel about their future with your firm.The firms that provide honest visibility of a future worth building will retain more top talent, develop better leaders, and build more durable businesses.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEWhy the next generation defines ambition differently and what that means for retention strategyHow to define roles with clarity and purpose so every position has a visible pathwayThe single biggest mistake firms make when building career paths and how to avoid itWhy addressing AI's role impact directly is now a core part of career developmentHow to eliminate ambiguity around partnership so people stop guessing what it meansTHE FIVE-PART CAREER PATHING FRAMEWORKDefine the Roles. Establish clear purpose, expectations, and required skills for each position. Map progression pathways for advisors (from client service associate to enterprise leader), operations (specialist to enterprise operator), and leadership (people manager to executive leader).Define the Progression. Specify what it takes to move from one role to the next: technical skills, client relationship management, leadership capabilities, business development expectations, decision rights, and cultural behaviors. Specificity builds trust.Connect to Actual Development. Attach real development objectives to each progression step. Identify specific competencies that need improvement, not vague hopes. The manager's job is connecting today's work to tomorrow's opportunity.Address AI's Impact. Clarify which skills become more valuable (empathy, judgment, planning, decision making, communication, relationship leadership) and commit to training people to use AI responsibly. Don't let people wonder alone.Make Ownership Expectations Clear. Define passages to partnership, distinguish between producing and nonproducing partners, clarify income versus equity partnership, and spell out what business development, client retention, leadership, and enterprise thinking mean for ownership.REFLECTION QUESTIONS FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAMCan every high potential employee at your firm see a future worth working toward?Where are career paths clearly defined, and where are they implied but not yet documented?Which roles will AI reshape first?

We've all seen career paths that sound like this: analyst 1, analyst 2, senior analyst, lead analyst, manager of analysts, etc. Those paths to leadership work for some people, but they don't work for others. In this conversation, Ludmila and I explore how to create leadership paths that work for everyone. Key Points Canaries were used in coal mines because they were more sensitive to early indicators of problems – in a way that helped everyone. The same is often true for neurodivergent leaders in organizations. The “ideal leader” is a myth. If we are honest, no individual fits the ideal profile. Having different paths to leadership makes more sense in a complex world. Many of the best leaders are specialists in something. Instead of looking for “culture fit,” challenge yourself and your organization to do a “culture add.” Neurodiverse leaders can be less susceptible to bias and have higher levels of divergent thinking – huge benefits strengths for many organizations. In addition to people management, consider paths for leadership that focus strength and skill on system and process, strategy, expertise, though leadership, global leadership, and creative ideation. Making the workplace more accessible and equitable for one population almost always makes it better for everyone.

When Paths Change:Redefining The Future:Durrah Cachalia Van Der Walt by Radio Islam

Michael delves into how the body, mind and spirit impact wellness with three featured guests at this summer's Nantucket Wellness Festival.We can't beat the guest introductions delivered by the Festival's co-founder, Joann Burnham: Dr. Shieva Ghofrany, MD: “We knew we had to have a gorgeous goddess represented on the panel... goddess is a big word. So finding a science-based goddess was our mission. And we think Shiva Gofrani fits that bill. She's a board certified OBGYN who's been caring for women since 1999. She blends decades of clinical expertise along with a really deeply personal, empathetic approach to medicine. She has a private practice in Stamford, Connecticut. She also leads a telehealth practice dedicated to supporting women through midlife. Her ability to translate evidence-based OBGYN knowledge into real, relatable conversations has helped countless women feel seen, informed and motivated to advocate for their own wellbeing at every stage of their life.”Ben Rein, PhD:“Now when you get into this wellness thing, people always ask, is there any science behind it? So it was really important to me that we had a science guy. And Ben Rein is our science guy. He's an award-winning neuroscientist, author, science communicator. He's the chief science officer of the Mind Science Foundation, head of Science Communication and Research Hub Foundation. Is that enough science for you? He's an adjunct lecturer at Stanford University and a clinical assistant professor at SUNY Buffalo. He has published over 20 peer reviewed papers on neuroscience and his book is available throughout the weekend Why Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection. Ben is also an overall great guy and he's a brand new dad.”Ian Lopatin:“Ian Lopatin is a visionary entrepreneur, author and frequency architect. He's best known as the founder of Course Sanctuary and Spiritual Gangster. Who has a spiritual gangster T-shirt? I do. He graduated from Vanderbilt University, UCLA Law School, and he's widely regarded as a bridge between business and spirituality. His core philosophy, My Frequency Creates My Reality. His first book, which we are so excited about... [is] called The Way of a Spiritual Gangster, and it will be released later this year. It's offering readers a roadmap to higher frequency living and purpose-driven success.”

Passing the torch to next-gen leaders requires more than paperwork; it demands deep cultural investment, transparent career pathing, and a training ground for collective decision-making. Today's guest highlights the profound personal and corporate transformations that happen when a firm commits to cultivating sustainable human capital. Christine DeMao is the COO of Gibson Capital, a $3B national RIA serving ultra-high-net-worth families. In this episode, she shares her 18-year journey from entry-level portfolio administrator to "boomerang" equity partner. In this episode, Christine explains how her firm uses a transparent "Path to Partnership" framework to map out character, cultural leadership, and business prerequisites early in a hire's tenure. She also opens up about her survival of a severe burnout health crisis, revealing how it fundamentally changed how she leads, leverages peer networks, and models work-life balance to protect her team.

CardioNerds co-chairs Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy Joe Mullinax, along with FIT lead Dr. Shiavax Rao, discuss the evolving landscape of randomized controlled trials in pulmonary embolism with Dr. Jay Giri, interventional cardiologist, Associate Professor of Medicine, and Director of the Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratories at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. This episode examines the historical evidence behind systemic thrombolysis, the emergence of catheter-directed therapies and mechanical thrombectomy, and the landmark RCTs – STORM-PE, PEERLESS, HI-PEITHO, and PEERLESS II – that are reshaping intermediate-risk PE management. The discussion highlights challenges in PE trial design, the critical importance of clinical deterioration as an endpoint, and why this era represents an unprecedented wave of evidence generation in PE. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes. Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy-Joe Mullinax are Co-chairs for the CardioNerds PE Series, developed in collaboration with the PERT Consortium.   Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls: Systemic thrombolysis in intermediate-risk PE reduces hemodynamic decompensation but at the cost of ~1.5–2% intracranial hemorrhage risk – a near-zero net benefit that has driven the search for safer catheter-based alternatives. “Focus on clinical deterioration, not mortality” – Due to crossover design in contemporary PE RCTs, control-arm patients who decompensate are rescued with advanced therapies, biasing mortality toward the null. Clinical deterioration is the most informative endpoint to watch in HI-PEITHO, PRAGUE-26, and PEERLESS II. HI-PEITHO is the first large RCT to demonstrate that catheter-directed fibrinolysis plus anticoagulation significantly reduces the composite of PE-related death, cardiorespiratory decompensation, or PE recurrence versus anticoagulation alone (RR 0.39; 95% CI 0.20–0.77; P=0.005), with no intracranial hemorrhage in either arm. The four major upcoming/recently reported PE RCTs (HI-PEITHO, PRAGUE-26, PEERLESS II, PE-TRACT) enroll progressively different risk populations – from the most enriched (HI-PEITHO) to the most permissive (PE-TRACT, which includes intermediate-low risk patients) – enabling a nuanced understanding of which patients benefit most from intervention. PE device clearance follows a fundamentally different FDA pathway than structural heart devices (single-arm safety/efficacy studies vs. mandated RCTs), yet market forces and clinical need have ultimately driven industry and government to sponsor large-scale RCTs – a lesson in how evidence development can evolve organically alongside regulatory frameworks. Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Shiavax Rao. Question #1: What is the current evidence behind advanced PE therapies? Systemic thrombolysis: Sixteen RCTs over 40 years (1972–2014) enrolling nearly 2,000 patients have studied systemic thrombolysis in intermediate-risk PE. The landmark PEITHO trial (n=1,006) showed that tenecteplase reduced the composite of death or hemodynamic collapse (2.6% vs. 5.6%; P=0.015), driven primarily by reduced hemodynamic decompensation (1.6% vs. 5.0%; P=0.002). However, this came at the cost of increased major bleeding (6.3% vs. 1.5%; P

Joel Mokyr co-won the 2025 economics Nobel for exploring the question that traces back to the beginning of economics: how did sustained economic growth suddenly become normal? For nearly all of human history, cleverness didn't compound. What changed, according to Mokyr, was twofold: first, you need to know why something works, so that one advance can seed the next; second, you need a culture willing to tolerate the disruption. His new book contrasts Europe with China, showing how Europeans learned to cooperate with people they weren't related to, in guilds, monasteries, cities, and universities, while China organized itself around the extended clan. One path led to internal stability and peace; the other, more restless and outward-looking, was the one that decided the world could always be made better. Tyler and Joel discuss European corporations vs. Chinese clans, why the Catholic Church became obsessed with cousin-marriage, how persistent cultural trends really are, why Chinese cities became so populous relative to Europe, why it took so long for European living standards to surpass China's, why sinified invaders kept getting swallowed by the dynasties they conquered, how geography kept Europe fragmented and China unified, where India fits into the story, why the Romans never made spectacles, why British soldiers stood two inches taller than the French, what powered the sudden rise of 19th-century German science, how disruptive winning a Nobel is, and much more.
