This episode features a local Oakes father/son duo and we're so excited to introduce them to you! Shawn and Aiden Ulmer of the Angry Beaver Lodge share the story of a third-generation restaurant business and the unexpected path that brought Aiden back to Oaks. They discuss generational transitions, evolving bar culture, and the role local businesses play in creating community. This is a conversation about what draws people back to small towns and the active role communities can play in facilitating it.  About Shawn and Aiden: Shawn grew up in Valley City, ND. He fell in love with the restaurant industry while helping at the steakhouse his parents owned for most of his childhood. His entire life has been spent in the service industry. His love of food, drinks, and people makes him a natural. This fall marks his 25th year as the owner of the Angry Beaver Lodge in Oakes.  On the off chance that Shawn is not at work prepping, creating new menu items, chatting up the customers, or catering a wedding reception, you will find him cheering on his beloved MN Vikings, sitting in a deer stand with his bow at the ready, or spoiling his granddaughters. Shawn's youngest son, Aiden (aka Chili), accepted the position of Front of the House Manager at the Angry Beaver Lodge this past September. Aiden was born and raised in Oakes; attended college at NDSU and the U of M. He spent a few years living in Fargo and in the heart of New York City, and loved having an abundance of entertainment, eateries, & nightlife at his fingertips. Like his dad, he grew up in the restaurant. Chili shares many of his dad's traits, including his father's deep voice (people love to hear his "Shawn impersonation") and his love of conversation, which makes Aiden a natural behind the bar.  The transition back to Oakes and small town life was made easier by the number of friends who had also returned, the welcoming and progressive community, and the short distance to visit his brother & nieces.  His love of travel & exploration has already taken him all over the world; if he's not busy whipping up a new cocktail recipe, he's undoubtedly planning his next trip.  In this episode, we cover: How a third-generation restaurant family is navigating a new generational transition. Why younger generations are going out less (and what bars and restaurants are doing about it.) How craft cocktails, events, and experiences are replacing traditional bar culture. What actually brings young people back to small towns. Why community gathering places like restaurants matter more than we think.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Jason VanRuler joins Dr. Carol to explore the growing influence of artificial intelligence on human relationships, intimacy, and spiritual life. Together they examine emerging trends, such as young people forming "relationships" with AI, and discuss what defines genuine connection, including truth, challenge, authenticity, and emotional depth. While AI can offer affirmation, the conversation highlights its limitations as a "yes man" that cannot replace the vulnerability and growth found in real human relationships. They also unpack how technology and social media can encourage curated identities, distract from authentic intimacy, and tempt people to settle for surface-level connection rather than meeting deeper relational needs. The episode also offers practical and spiritual guidance for cultivating real intimacy in a digital age. VanRuler shares how self-awareness, honesty, and small steps toward vulnerability, along with practices like prayer, can help individuals grow in authentic connection with God and others. The discussion addresses the spiritual risks of overreliance on AI and encourages discernment in using technology as a tool rather than a substitute for relationship. Listeners will also discover practical habits for setting healthy digital boundaries, protecting presence, and prioritizing what matters most.

In this episode, Joe Crane sits down with Dr. Sharon R. Elefant, Founder and CEO of The Nonprofit Plug, to discuss the critical intersection of military service and nonprofit entrepreneurship. Drawing from her deep roots in the veteran community—including her work with the VA health system and AMVETS—Dr. Sharon addresses the common "red tape" and business gaps that often hinder mission-driven leaders. She highlights the necessity of viewing a nonprofit as a "business with a cause," emphasizing that sustainability requires a clear revenue model and a narrowly defined problem to solve. From exploring the benefits of fiscal sponsorship to implementing efficient infrastructure, Dr. Sharon provides a professional roadmap for veterans looking to transition from a passion for service to a high-impact, scalable organization. Episode Resources: https://thenonprofitplug.com/   About Our Guest Dr. Sharon R. Elefant is a nationally recognized nonprofit strategist, educator, and community advocate, serving as the Founder and CEO of The Nonprofit Plug LLC and The NonprofitPlug Foundation Inc. With over a decade of experience in nonprofit leadership, compliance, financial management, grant writing, and capacity building, she has supported the formation and sustainability of hundreds of nonprofit organizations across the country. Dr. Sharon has helped nonprofits collectively secure over $15 million in funding, manage millions in assets, and transition founders into paid executive leadership roles. Her work centers on demystifying the nonprofit ecosystem, grant readiness, fiscal sponsorship, donor cultivation, and compliance, so mission-driven leaders can focus on impact without burnout. In addition to consulting, Dr. Sharon is a professor of business administration, a frequent speaker, and a trusted advisor to grassroots and scaling organizations alike. Her approach blends strategy, transparency, and real-world application, making her a sought-after guest for podcasts focused on social impact, leadership, entrepreneurship, and nonprofit growth.   About Our Sponsors Navy Federal Credit Union   Navy Federal Credit Union is here to help you dominate your debt with the Platinum Card.

On this episode of Buzzing about Romance, join Leah, Amanda , and Becky as they discuss publishing paths and, some of the common hot takes that come with it.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul return for another Devolution Power Hour as they unpack the fallout from last week's controversial episode and the growing fractures within the truth movement. Reflecting on the intense reaction to the Iran discussion, the hosts explore why major political events often create ideological purity tests inside communities that were once aligned. The conversation dives into the concept of competing “worldviews” that attempt to explain the same events. Jon breaks down how the Devolution framework differs from other interpretations of the post-2020 political landscape while still arriving at some similar conclusions. Rather than dismissing other perspectives outright, the hosts argue that different analytical paths can lead observers to overlapping but distinct understandings of what may be happening behind the scenes. From there, the discussion broadens into the psychology of truth movements and why they historically fracture over time. Jon and Chris examine the influence of mainstream media narratives, the persistence of the two-party paradigm, and the difficulty many people have in letting go of the political system they were raised to believe in. The episode ultimately challenges listeners to question where their assumptions come from and whether their analysis is truly independent of the same information pipelines they claim to distrust.

In this episode, Darlene Goehl – research engineer and research group lead at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute – explains how new infrastructure being developed in Texas can help prevent thousands of monarch butterfly deaths as they migrate across busy roads in North America.Episode NotesIn this podcast episode, Darlene Goehl joins ‘The Stream by AASHTO' to discuss the joint work of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) with the Texas Department of Transportation in building monarch flight diverters or MFDs – a series of tall, mesh barriers placed along busy roads that motivate the butterflies to fly above the roadway, well above vehicles traveling on the highway below. Researchers have noted sharp declines in monarch populations, specifically during their migration periods in the fall. In some years, researchers found that nearly 3 percent of the monarch's fall migratory population were lost after being struck by vehicles traveling on roads; this number represents about half of the population decline in a given year.Goehl discusses the importance of monarch butterflies to the ecology and cultural symbology of the southern U.S. and northern Mexico, the role of transportation, and how TTI identifies “hot spots” for monarch roadkill. From there, Goehl explains the implementation and feasibility of MFDs in Texas and how the project will fare into the future.This podcast series is part of the AASHTO Environmental Management technical service program operated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. It explores a wide array of environmental topics that affect state departments of transportation and the infrastructure programs they oversee.

This inaugural episode of the CardioNerds Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Series explores the evolution of acute PE care. Dr. Ibrahim Zahid, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Billy Joe Mullinax join guest expert Dr. Kenneth Rosenfield to discuss the shifting landscape of PE management. Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality and a frequent diagnostic challenge, often masquerading as myocardial infarction or a benign illness. Over the past decade, PE care has evolved from anticoagulation-only strategies to nuanced, risk-stratified, multidisciplinary management. Modern approaches integrate hemodynamics, biomarkers, and advanced imaging to guide therapy, including catheter-directed interventions and large-bore thrombectomy. The Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) model addresses historical gaps by coordinating rapid, multispecialty decision-making and standardizing care pathways. The PERT Consortium further advances PE care through education, research, and the world's largest PE registry, while fostering leadership and research opportunities for trainees. Despite advances, long-term outcomes and post-PE syndromes remain important areas for future investigation. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, student doctor, Pace Wetstein.

Pearls PE is a “master masquerader”—maintain suspicion for atypical presentations like myocardial infarction, heart failure, flu, or anxiety. Multidisciplinary management mediated through pulmonary embolism response teams improves outcomes and standardizes care. Risk stratification integrates hemodynamics, biomarkers, and imaging. Advanced therapies have expanded beyond anticoagulation. Long‑term follow‑up and post‑PE syndrome need more research. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Ibrahim Zahid. 1. How has the clinical approach to PE changed over the past decade? PE is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death and historically under‑recognized. Symptoms mimic MI, HF, asthma, syncope, and more.PE is a silent killer, and it should be recognized more as a cause of spontaneous cardiac arrest. Where life threatening disease like stroke which is owned by neurological specialists and MI is primarily managed by cardiac specialists, PE is an entity without a professional home. The PERT Consortium brings the specialties together for PE care. 2. Ten years ago, a 58-year-old patient with a large bilateral PE, RV dilation, and positive biomarkers might have been managed with anticoagulation and close observation alone. Today, with evolving—but still uneven—data on advanced therapies, PE care feels far more nuanced and highly dependent on where you practice. What are the major gaps in traditional PE management that clinicians should recognize, and what care pathways should they be aware of across different hospital systems? Care has shifted from anticoagulation‑only to multidisciplinary approaches like catheter directed thrombectomy. Risk‑based pathways and the use of CT angiogram has improved early recognition. Risk stratification tools must be used as tools for early recognition of intermediate risk PE. Untreated PE leads to chronic complications like chronic thromboembolic disease and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, which requires long term clinic follow up. 3. What is the role of risk stratification tools such as PeSI, sPeSI scores, cardiac biomarkers, and imaging findings in PE, and how do they guide treatment decisions in real world practice? Integrate vitals (blood pressure and heart rate), biomarkers (troponin, pro-BNP), RV/LV ratio assessment, acid‑base status, and scores. Tools include PESI, sPESI, BOVA, HESTIA, FAST, Geneva, NEWS, shock index. Vitals, lactate, acid-base status, and tools like NEWS or shock index track clinical evolution. PESI/sPESI estimate 30-day mortality and help identify low-risk patients who may be candidates for early discharge or outpatient therapy. Clinical judgment matters—scores don't fully capture clot burden, trajectory, or bleeding risk. 4. How was the pulmonary embolism response team created, and since its creation, what evidence or outcome data became available to support the PERT model? Originated after a sentinel case at MGH: A young, pregnant woman in her 30s, who collapsed at home, underwent thrombectomy, and had to be on ECMO for a few days. The case brought cardiology, cardiac surgeons and critical care physicians together for planning and improvement in her health, which was rewarding. Thereby, it was decided to bring specialties involved in PE care together to create a response team. The name of the team, Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT), was coined by Richard Channick in the first meeting. Posters were set up all over the hospital to call a centralized line when an acute PE is recognized A meeting was held to present the concept of putting together a consortium, with development of action items and a PERT database. Enabled rapid multidisciplinary input using early teleconferencing tools. 5. Given concerns about having too many ‘cooks in the kitchen' during the initial PE call—especially with rotating teams—how can institutions reconcile workflow complexity with standardized pathways in a way that meaningfully supports and justifies the added burden on frontline clinicians? Every hospital's PERT is different, catering to their needs and workflow At least two disciplines are needed to make a PERTData is currently being collected to guide further on how the workflow can be standardized Most importantly, the team brings in resources that were not available prior to PERT formation. 6. What are the main goals of the PERT consortium, and how does it support clinicians and institutions involved? To improve care and improve outcomes for patients with PE Expand education, refine algorithms, standardize care with Centers of Excellence. Maintain the largest PE registry for research and outcomes improvement. 7. Beyond global networking, shared learning from successful systems, and the pathway toward Center of Excellence designation, what additional benefits can clinicians and health systems gain by participating in the PERT Consortium? The ability to learn from other systems, the ability to share experiences. Allow people to develop their professional careers like leadership experience, becoming a member of the trainee council Initiate projects and receive funding for your ideas 8. For trainees interested in pulmonary embolism care, how can a trainee be a champion at their institution? Does PERT provide assistance and how can they really contribute meaningfully even before becoming a fellow/attending? Medical students and residents interested in PE should reach out to the consortium and the consortium will hook you up with the correct mentors who can nurture you along. Listen to the podcasts. Participate with your local PERT team PERT wants involvement of people who are social media savvy to help spread the word on PE. Top three take-away points from this episode Acute PE care has advanced and multiple treatment modalities for acute PE including catheter directed therapy, large bore thrombectomy, are becoming standard of care. Multidisciplinary models like PERT improve coordination and outcomes.

What happens to the mind when the brain begins to fail? After a traumatic brain injury changed her own pace of life, Kirana Stover found herself bedside with her dying mother—an experience that transformed from a season of grief into a surreal, poetic masterclass in presence.In this episode, Kirana Stover, a long-time Integral Yoga teacher and center head in Barcelona discusses her moving new book documenting her mother's final months. Kirana shares the "vignettes" of their time together, including the extraordinary moment her mother began communicating solely in rhyme, and how the "slower pace" forced by her own recovery allowed her to stay fully present for her mother's transition.Topics include: - The Yoga of Dying: How spiritual practice prepares us for the "portal" of death.- Mind vs. Brain: Insights from hospice care on how consciousness functions when the physical body declines.- Art as Presence: Using painting and sketching to anchor oneself in heavy emotional realities.-The Role Reversal: Transitioning from daughter to "reassurance" and caregiver.-Ancestral Connection: How losing a parent can deepen our sense of those who came before us.--Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Kirana was first introduced to Integral Yoga in 1982. In 1993 she became a certified Hatha yoga teacher and since 2001 has been the director of the Integral Yoga Center in Barcelona, Spain.In 2023 she returned to Virginia to be with her mom who was in hospice. Mom's in There is imbued with the essence of the Integral Yoga teaching “Truth is One, Paths are Many”. Her time with her mother was punctuated by a trip to Yogaville; she also spent a week there after her mother “transitioned”. This helped her integrate and understand both her time with her mom, and her own spiritual practice at a deeper level. ---Buy the Book: Brandy Lane Publishers (Also available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshops.org)#IntegralYoga #GriefAndLoss #Mindfulness #EndofLife #SpiritualAwakening #Presence #YogaPhilosophy Hosted on Acast.

Synopsis:   From Resistance to Revolution How Communities Are Creating a New Economy This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: People across the country are resisting authoritarianism in creative and powerful ways, and this is just the start. The folks at The People's Network for Land & Liberation (PNLL) say the forces that got us here are bigger than one bad leader; entire systems must be taken down. Building a brighter future requires a vision of economic and social justice — and lots of practice. Today on Laura Flanders & Friends, we look at some of those practical experiments and paths for radical change, and discuss why they're just as important as resistance. The members of PNLL, a multiracial, multiethnic consortium of six community-based organizations, are doing politics and economics differently in real places across the U.S. right now. Joining us are Edget Betru, an attorney, activist and Coordinator of the People's Network for Land & Liberation; David Cobb, PNLL staff person and Co-coordinator of the U.S. Solidarity Economy Network; and Blair Evans, Founder and Executive Director of Incite Focus, a production and training lab based in Idlewild, Michigan. Find out how to build for the future — even in the toughest circumstances. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on William Morris's News From Nowhere. “We've been colonized in our minds . . . Involving people in day-to-day produce, meeting their needs through a different way, through thinking, Hey, who in my neighborhood knows how to fix this? . . . It's really that shift in consciousness that needs to happen that's going to allow for this new economy to emerge.” - Edget Betru “My mama and my mamaw and my papa who raised me taught me a lesson as a little boy, and that is, there's enough to go around as long as we share. That made sense to me when I was five years old. It makes sense to me now when I'm 63 years old. There's enough to go around as long as we share. It's just as simple as that.” - David Cobb “We can make things that make things, we can design and build our own equipment that can then use locally sourced materials, hyper localizing the supply chain . . . We can stop feeding the monster that's consuming us and actually disconnect from that process and use what we have.” - Blair Evans Guests: • Edget Betru: Coordinator, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Board Member, Community Movement Builders • David Cobb: Staff, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Manager, Butterfly Impact Fund; Co-Coordinator, U.S. Solidarity Economy Network • Blair Evans: Coalition Member, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Founder & Executive Director, Incite Focus; Designer & Trainer, Fab Lab   Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

There's this common (but rarely spoken about) phenomenon that a lot of high achievers experience partway through their careers.They USED to have so much clarity, certainty, and conviction about their career path.They thought hard. They tried different things. They did all the assessments. And they figured out what they wanted to do. Amazing!And now, several years down that path…With real success and real progress behind them…For some reason, they're starting to feel uncertain again.Is this really what I want? Do I still have conviction that this is the right path for me? What if I'm on the wrong path?AND they beat themselves up for that uncertainty. What's wrong with me? Why am I suddenly losing conviction? Have I lost my ambition? Am I going backwards?? When this (extremely common!!) phenomenon happens…DON'T force yourself to just keep marching down the path you're on.And DON'T rush to find your alternate path asap.What you need is an uncertainty audit. Ideally with me – because they're really hard to do by yourself.Book yours here! https://poojavcoaching.com/contact What we're going to do together is slow down and dig into your uncertainty. Find all its ingredients and components. And then use those to develop your diagnosis and game plan.You'll walk away with a simple diagnosis of WHY you're feeling this way. (Spoiler alert: Nothing is wrong with you.)And a clear game plan of what to do next. (If I can help, I'll tell you how. And if I can't, I'll point you toward the resources that you need.)Today's podcast episode gives you some examples of what a diagnosis and game plan could look like.But you won't know yours until you talk to me.

Pearls There have been significant advances in the field of MCS/LVAD therapy since the first implanted LVAD in the 1960s, to the first FDA approved device in the early 2000's, to now the HM3 LVAD, with the most important change being a centrifugal flow/magnetically levitated design that led to minimized hemocompatibility-related adverse events (HRAE's) (MOMENTUM 3 trial comparing HM2 and HM3).  The REMATCH trial in 2001 was a pivotal trial for LVAD therapy, demonstrating that in a population of patients with advanced HF (70% IV inotrope dependent), LVAD therapy significantly improved survival at both 1 and 2 years as compared to medical therapy alone.    MOMENTUM 3 trial was a landmark trial for the HM3 device, showing that in a population of end stage HF patients (86% inotrope dependent, 32% INTERMACS 1-2, and 60% DT strategy), 5-year survival with HM3 was 58% and HM3 had lower HRAE's compared with HM2.  There are both patient-specific factors and surgical considerations when it comes to candidacy for LVAD therapy.  RV function prior to LVAD is a key determinant for success post-LVAD  Many patients being considered for LVAD may not have robust RV function, however, predicting RV failure after LVAD is exceedingly difficult.   In general, it doesn’t matter how bad the RV may look on imaging; we care more about the pre-LVAD hemodynamics (look at the PAPi and RA/wedge ratio).   What happens in the OR may be the most important determinant of how the RV will do with the LVAD!  Notes Notes drafted by Dr. Josh Longinow.  1. Historical background of heart pumps and LVADs  LVAD Evolution   FDA approval year  2001  2008  2012  2017  Pump  HeartMate XVE   HeartMate II  Heartware HVAD  HeartMate III  Flow/Design Features  Pulsatile Technology   Continuous flow Axial design  Continuous flow  Centrifugal design  Continuous flow   Full MagLev + Centrifugal design  The 1960's ushered in the first ‘LVADs', when the first air-powered ‘LVAD' was implanted. It kept the patient alive for four days before the patient expired.   The first generation of LVADs were pulsatile pumps   The first nationally recognized, FDA approved LVAD was the HeartMate XVE (late 1990s to early 2000s, REMATCH trial). The XVE pump used compressed air (pneumatically driven) to power the pump.   Prior to the XVE, OHT was the standard of care for patients with advanced, end-stage heart failure.   The second and third generations of LVADs were non-pulsatile, continuous flow devices and included the HVAD, HM2, and HM3 devices.   MOMENTUM 3 was a landmark trial for the HM3 device, showing that in a population of sick patients with end stage HF (86% inotrope dependent, 32% INTERMACS 1-2, and 60% DT strategy), 5-year survival with HM3 was 58% and HM3 had lower HRAE's compared with HM2.   The only pump that is currently FDA approved for implant is the HM3, although other pumps are in clinical trials (BrioVAD system, INNOVATE Trial).  2. What are LVADs, and how do they work?   In simplest terms, the LVAD is a heart pump comprised of several key mechanistic components:   Inflow cannula  Mechanical pump   Outflow cannula  Driveline  Controller/Power source  The HM3 differs from its predecessors (HM2 and HVAD) in several key ways;   HM3 is placed intrapericardial whereas the HM2 was placed pre-peritoneal.   Perhaps most importantly, the HM3 is a fully magnetically levitated, centrifugal flow pump, whereas the HM2 is an axial flow device.  Axial flow pumps are not magnetically levitated, leading to more friction produced between the ruby bearing's contact with the pump rotors, and higher rates of hemocompatibility related adverse events (HRAEs, i.e. pump thrombosis) and the HM2 was ultimately discontinued in favor of the HM3 (MOMENTUM 3 trial).  3. What do the terms ‘Destination Therapy' (DT) or ‘Bridge to Transplant' (BTT) mean when it comes to LVADs?   When LVADs first came on the stage, EVERYONE was a BTT; these early pumps weren't designed for long term use (I.e. REMATCH Trial, Heartmate XVE)  Destination therapy means the LVAD was placed in leu of transplant because there are contraindications to transplant   REMATCH trial brought about the concept of “Destination therapy”, comparing outcomes in patients (with contraindications for transplant) who received an LVAD vs optimal medical therapy  Bridge to transplant means we are placing the LVAD in a patient who may not be a transplant candidate at this moment in time (is too sick, or conversely, not sick enough), but may be down the line   Bridge to recovery is another term used when the LVAD is being placed for a patient we think may have a recoverable cardiomyopathy  4. What are some factors we should consider when assessing a patient’s candidacy for LVAD, in general, and from a surgical perspective?   Patient factors   Older age might push us towards thinking LVAD rather than transplant  In general, age > 70 is the cutoff for transplant, but this is not a hard cut off and varies institution to institution    In general, think about things that help predict recovery after a major surgery; Frailty and Nutritional status are important, we try to optimize these prior to LVAD implant   Right ventricular function remains the Achilles heel of LV support  We know that needing temporary RV support post LVAD puts you on a different survival curve than patients who don’t need RVAD support  Studies have not been able to successfully predict who will develop RV failure after LVAD implantation  What happens in the time between when the patient goes to the OR and when they get back to the ICU is an important determinant who might develop RV failure post LVAD   Surgical techniques such as implanting the HM3 in the intra-thoracic cavity, rather than intra-pericardial may help maintain LV/RV geometry to help optimize the RV post LVAD   Surgical considerations for LVAD candidacy  Small, hypertrophied LV: HM3 inflow cannula is small, but small hypertrophied ventricles tend towards chamber collapse during systole causing suction, needing to run slower with lower flow rates  Chest size/diameter: pumps have gotten so small now, that for adults, these have become less of a consideration  BMI: low BMI used to be more of a concern with the older pumps due to where they were placed, and the relative size of the pump itself, not so much now with the smaller HM 3 pumps  Calcified LV apex: would increase risk of stroke, bleeding   Driveline tunneling becomes a concern in the super obese population, higher risk for driveline infections (might tunnel these driveline's shorter, and to a less fatty region of the abdomen, could even tunnel out the thoracic cavity in the super obese to limit skin motion)    5. Is there a role for MCS (i.e. temporary LVAD such as Impella) in pre-habilitation of patients prior to LVAD surgery?   The theory of being able to improve systemic perfusion, decongest the organs, and make the patient feel better prior to surgery makes sense, but becomes problematic due to the lack of a hard end point/time for prehabilitation which might risk delays in surgery   More likely that it can lead to delay in the surgery, with less-than-optimal benefit; you don't want to prolong the wait for surgery and increase the risk for complications prior to surgery    An Impella 5.5 is currently FDA approved for 2 weeks of support, not 2 months so timing is important to keep in mind  It’s unlikely that you will take a patient and convert them from a malnourished, cachectic person in 2 weeks’ time   6. Is there a role for LVAD therapy in the younger patient population? Should we be thinking of LVAD up front for these patients, with the goal of transplanting down the line?   Recovery may be more likely in certain populations, particularly younger females with smaller LV's; in those populations, perhaps bridge to recovery should be the focus, optimizing them on GDMT etc.   The replacement of transplant, with MCS (LVAD) in young patients has become a topic of discussion, because these pumps have become better and better, with the thinking that an LVAD could bridge a patient for 10 years or so, and they could get a transplant later   It is still a big unknown, but several concerns exist  Patients who get LVADs might end up with complications that become contraindication to transplant down the line (stroke, sensitization etc)   Patients and providers are more hesitant because of the more recent iteration for the UNOS criteria for OHT listing which no longer gives patients with an uncomplicated LVAD higher priority, and therefore they could end up waiting a longer time for a heart after undergoing LVAD  References Rose EA, Gelijns AC, Moskowitz AJ, et al.

Synopsis:  Members of PNLL are experimenting with new ways of doing politics and economics in communities across the US, focusing on local solutions and shared resources. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: People across the country are resisting authoritarianism in creative and powerful ways, and this is just the start. The folks at The People's Network for Land & Liberation (PNLL) say the forces that got us here are bigger than one bad leader; entire systems must be taken down. Building a brighter future requires a vision of economic and social justice — and lots of practice. Today on Laura Flanders & Friends, we look at some of those practical experiments and paths for radical change, and discuss why they're just as important as resistance. The members of PNLL, a multiracial, multiethnic consortium of six community-based organizations, are doing politics and economics differently in real places across the U.S. right now. Joining us are Edget Betru, an attorney, activist and Coordinator of the People's Network for Land & Liberation; David Cobb, PNLL staff person and Co-coordinator of the U.S. Solidarity Economy Network; and Blair Evans, Founder and Executive Director of Incite Focus, a production and training lab based in Idlewild, Michigan. Find out how to build for the future — even in the toughest circumstances. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on William Morris's News From Nowhere. “We've been colonized in our minds . . . Involving people in day-to-day produce, meeting their needs through a different way, through thinking, Hey, who in my neighborhood knows how to fix this? . . . It's really that shift in consciousness that needs to happen that's going to allow for this new economy to emerge.” - Edget Betru “My mama and my mamaw and my papa who raised me taught me a lesson as a little boy, and that is, there's enough to go around as long as we share. That made sense to me when I was five years old. It makes sense to me now when I'm 63 years old. There's enough to go around as long as we share. It's just as simple as that.” - David Cobb “We can make things that make things, we can design and build our own equipment that can then use locally sourced materials, hyper localizing the supply chain . . . We can stop feeding the monster that's consuming us and actually disconnect from that process and use what we have.” - Blair Evans Guests: • Edget Betru: Coordinator, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Board Member, Community Movement Builders • David Cobb: Staff, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Manager, Butterfly Impact Fund; Co-Coordinator, U.S. Solidarity Economy Network • Blair Evans: Coalition Member, People's Network for Land & Liberation; Founder & Executive Director, Incite Focus; Designer & Trainer, Fab Lab Watch on YouTube this episode that includes video clips referenced in this episode from Third World Newsreel; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Pain can quietly shrink your world—your sleep, your mood, even your sense of future. In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, Dr. Christopher Lauria reframes pain as a signal worth listening to, not something to simply silence. This episode is for anyone living with chronic neck, back, or disc discomfort who feels stuck between “meds forever” and “surgery next.” You'll hear how a root-cause approach, patient education, and supportive technologies can help people explore options with more clarity and less fear. About the Guest: Dr. Christopher Lauria is the founder of Roanoke Disc Center and Lifestyle Chiropractic. He has spent nearly three decades helping people address chronic neck, back, and disc pain using non-surgical and integrative approaches. Episode Chapters: 05:20 — Pain as a warning sign, not the enemy 07:58 — Why people assume meds first, surgery last 09:27 — Chronic pain patterns: discs, degeneration, arthritis 11:29 — How pain impacts mood, energy, and relationships 13:02 — Spinal decompression: creating conditions to heal 14:05 — Class 4 laser therapy and tissue support 16:20 — Patience, plateaus, and trusting a longer healing arc Key Takeaways: Treat pain like a “check engine light”: investigate the cause before choosing a path. Ask your provider: “What's the diagnosis—and what's driving it?” Consider a plan that supports healing conditions, not just symptom relief. Expect recovery to take time; relief may come early, healing continues longer. Track mood/energy alongside pain—your nervous system is part of the story.

For years, MBA applicants have asked some version of the same question: "What job will I get after graduation?" It's understandable. Recruiting is a visible and important part of the MBA experience. But after decades working with business school graduates, Stacy Blackman has noticed something more interesting: the most meaningful MBA outcomes rarely follow a straight line. That's the premise behind Paths Less Traveled, a new B-Schooled podcast series launching this week. Each episode features conversations with MBA alumni whose careers evolved in unexpected directions over time. These aren't "first job after school" stories. They're about optionality, reinvention, and what happens when you treat the MBA as a long-term foundation rather than a short-term placement service. The series kicks off with Paul Earle, a Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management alum and Stacy's former classmate, who went on to found one of the fastest-growing emerging consumer brands in the U.S. His company, GOODLES, reimagines mac and cheese as a better-for-you product, and his current obsession is the Thrilled Cheese variety. But the conversation goes deeper than product launches. Paul reflects on what business school actually gave him: "I barely remember the technical classroom frameworks and methods and models. I vividly remember the friends I made and perspectives I gained and world I discovered. One of the best things I have ever done." It's a perspective that reframes what ROI on an MBA can actually look like, and one that applicants don't always encounter early in the process. If you've been thinking about the MBA primarily in terms of your first post-graduation role, this series is worth your time.

What makes for a good entrepreneur in today's start-up landscape? How do you work to scale and when is it right to go from bootstrapping to seeking funding? How are the roots of innovation now fundamentally different than the dot com era? Lori Rosenkopf is a Professor of Management and also the Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship at the Wharton School, San Francisco campus. She is also the author of the book Unstoppable Entrepreneurs: 7 Paths for Unleashing Successful Startups and Creating Value through Innovation. Greg and Lori discuss Lori's focus on Wharton's student and alumni entrepreneurial ecosystem, and she explains how entrepreneurship skills overlap with the innovation inside large organizations and universities. Lori describes seven entrepreneurial pathways and six “Rs” that reflect an entrepreneurial mindset, emphasizing that many successful entrepreneurs first build industry experience in standard careers rather than launching ventures immediately after school.  Their conversation covers how Wharton's curriculum has evolved over time, adding majors and coursework in entrepreneurship, innovation, analytics, and now AI; experiential learning; venture pitching for credit. Greg asks how the Venture Acceleration Lab helps expose students to scaling alumni ventures. Lori and Greg discuss different stereotypes of entrepreneurs, and Lori touches on why alumni and industry-affiliation networks remain powerful, how innovation increasingly happens through ecosystems, partnerships, and acquisitions rather than in-house R&D, and the continuing importance of universities in basic science commercialization, including Penn's Pennovation initiative and strong biomedical startup activity. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: The stereotype of a unicorn founder 17:18: I think that we have grown accustomed to a stereotype, which is, let us name them out, college dropout. Young. Venture capital backed tech, unicorn, great personal and commercial wealth. And now we are depending on them for philanthropy. We can have a whole discussion just about whether that is a good thing or not. But that is sort of the image. Is there a way people can cultivate their resilience? 32:00: Resilience, it can come from being in love with your problem and wanting to solve that so deeply. Now it has to be a problem that enough of the marketplace shares that they are willing to think about your solution. But people who want to solve a problem are going to claim lots and lots of different ways to attack it. And this is what entrepreneurs are constantly dealing with, negative feedback and challenges. In many cases, it is very rare that companies of ventures first offering is something that everybody falls in love with. What has Lori learned about information diffusion over 30 years of research? 11:17: I think that as we have gone to where more digital products and services, that it gives us the opportunity to build up these bigger ecosystems where different parties are collaborating in a variety. So it might be as extreme as acquisitions. And that is not just happening when Apple, that is CPG companies are buying little startups where people have developed new grants that are cool. They are partnering in many cases, so they may not be a full on acquisition, but there will be a contractual set of arrangements and maybe a conformance to a standard, as well. So that has become more and more common, and the idea that any one firm can invent everything in house, I think it does feel a little bit passé, you know, like rate of change is getting quicker and quicker.

We recently completed Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita — a raw and honest moment where Arjuna admits, "My mind is more restless than the wind." But before we dive into Chapter 7 (where everything shifts), I want to pause and explore an important question that naturally arises right here: How do the yogic teachings on Ananda (bliss) compare to the Christian understanding of grace — and why do these two paths feel so different in the body? This episode is a bridge — between effort and surrender, empowerment and comfort, self-regulation and devotion — as we explore this question from a comparative, academic, and curious lens.  This is not to prescribe belief, but to deepen understanding and set the stage for what's coming next in the Gita.

In the early 2000s, Sunil Nakrani felt stuck. Back then, websites crashed all the time. When Sunil noticed this, he decided he was going to fix the internet. But after nearly a year of studying the architecture of the web, he was no closer to an answer. In desperation, Sunil sent out a raft of cold emails to engineering professors. He hoped someone, anyone, could help him figure this out. Eventually, he learned that the internet could only be fixed if he paid attention to the humble honeybee. This is the story of the Honeybee Algorithm: How tech used honeybees to build the internet as we know it.Special thanks to John Bartholdi, John Vande Vate, Sammy Ramsey, James Marshall, Steve Strogatz, Duc Pham, and Heiko Hamann.We found out about this story thanks to our friends at AAAS, who run the one and only Golden Goose Awards. The award goes to government funded science that sounds trivial or bizarre, but goes on to change the world. The Honeybee Algorithm won a Golden Goose Award back in 2016 (https://www.goldengooseaward.org/01awardees/honey-bee-algorithm). Thank you to our friends there: Erin Heath, Gwendolyn Bogard, Valeria Sabate, Joanne Padron Carney, and Meredith Asbury. EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Latif Nasserwith help from - Maria Paz GutiérrezProduced by - Maria Paz Gutiérrez, Annie McEwen and Pat Waltersand Edited by  - Pat WaltersEPISODE CITATIONS:Videos - Golden Goose Award video about 2016 winners (https://zpr.io/eXwTJKGL6F8S) Books -The Wisdom of the Hive: The Social Physiology of Honeybee Colonies (https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674953765) by Thomas D.

CardioNerds (Dr. Ramy Doss, Dr. Kelly Arps, and Dr. Naima Maqsood) dive into the nuances of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation with Dr. Jon Piccini. They provide a high-yield overview of AF ablation, guiding listeners from patient selection through post-procedural management. We review appropriate candidacy for catheter ablation across AF phenotypes, key elements of pre-procedural evaluation including imaging and anticoagulation strategy, and the fundamental procedural steps with pulmonary vein isolation as the cornerstone. The discussion compares lesion set strategies in de novo ablation and reviews currently used energy sources—including radiofrequency, cryoablation, and pulsed-field ablation—highlighting differences in safety and efficacy. They also examine surgical and hybrid approaches for selected patients and outline essential components of post-ablation care, including rhythm monitoring, anticoagulation decisions, and management of complications. This episode integrates contemporary evidence with practical insights to support clinicians delivering comprehensive AF ablation care. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds intern Dr. Bhavya Shah. NOTE: This episode was recorded in March 2025. Since then, the OCEAN trial showed that among patients who had had successful catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation at least 1 year earlier and had risk factors for stroke, treatment with rivaroxaban did not result in a significantly lower incidence of a composite of stroke, systemic embolism, or new covert embolic stroke than treatment with aspirin.  Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.
