#ASKJIM from our July training with Jim's Group CEO, Jim Penman and CMO, Joel Kleber.

In this special episode of A Week at the Clinic, Kevin sits down with renowned therapist Anne Penman, whose pioneering work in laser-assisted smoking cessation has helped clients around the globe. Drawing on her decades of experience — and referencing our recent conversation with James Carroll of THOR Photomedicine — Anne shares her unique approach using laser on traditional Chinese acupressure points to help clients quit smoking, reduce anxiety, and embrace healthier lives.From the philosophy behind her methods to remarkable client success stories, this is a deep dive into a different, yet complementary, application of low level laser therapy (or PBM). Whether you're a clinician, a current smoker, or simply curious about the future of wellness, Anne's insights will inform and inspire.Here is Anne's link to her programme on Scotland Tonight that she references in our interview.

By Adam Turteltaub It's time to think bigger when it comes to helpline data.  Yes, it's still important to look at traditional metrics such as the number of calls and the substantiation rate.  But, there is so much more that can be done. Justin Ross, Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer at Sysco and Carrie Penman, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at NAVEX will be addressing what you can do with your helpline data during their 2025 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute session “Numbers That Matter:  Moving Beyond Hotline Data to Identify and Build an Ethical Workplace.” For one, they encourage compliance officers to think about whom they are sharing the data with.  What the board, management and others will want to see is likely to be different. As a result, it's important to tailor your reporting accordingly. Second, they argue in this podcast that it's important to not just look at the data reactively.  Instead, think proactively and use it as a way to identify where there are issues to be addressed, either now or potentially in the future. The data can also provide a window into the culture of the organization as a whole, as well as the differences by region or even office.  This approach can help you better understand your risks and where you need to address potential problems. Some of the data they suggest using is: Outcomes of allegations: are they leading to discipline and is it consistent Retaliation issues Substantiation rates Patterns of employee vs. non-employee reports Number of days between allegation and conclusion of investigation Number of days between incident and helpline call Be sure, too, to look at the helpline data in concert with other data your organization has such as employee turnover, exit interviews, culture surveys, audit results and more. In sum, to get the most out of your helpline data, think about all the data that you have, what it can tell about the past and present, how it can guide the future and what's the best way to share it with each of your audiences. Listen in to learn more, and plan on joining them for the 2025 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute.

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the fascinating and often misunderstood legacy of John Dickinson, the man known as “The Penman of the Revolution.” While others raced toward independence, Dickinson stood firm in his belief that liberty must be secured through law, not rushed into through war. He helped ignite the flames of resistance with his Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, yet refused to sign the Declaration of Independence, only to later pick up a musket and fight for the very cause he once questioned. Discover how Dickinson's moral conviction, intellectual rigor, and post-war contributions helped shape America's founding in ways few recognize today. Episode Highlights: Why John Dickinson refused to sign the Declaration of Independence despite being a leading voice for colonial rights How the Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania became one of the most influential texts of the American resistance Dickinson's surprising postwar legacy, from drafting state constitutions to defending the U.S. Constitution in The Letters of Fabius

Top shot © Kristof Ramon   The dynamic arena of competitive cycling photography is not for the faint of heart. This grueling specialty requires a mix of split-second reaction times, intuitive technical mastery, and the ability to anticipate—and even more important—embrace risk. It takes a special breed of photographer to continuously capture every ounce of emotion packed into this sport, from bruising injuries and bitter disappointments to the exaltation of a win.    For today's show, we've brought together two passionate cycling aficionados, former competitive cyclist and renowned street photographer Phil Penman and Kristof Ramon, a cycling photography specialist who recently released his first book on the subject. While they're introduced as strangers, get ready to be wowed by the synchronicity of their shared experiences, and the remarkable chemistry that grows between them over the course of the show.   Most people's awareness of competitive cycling revolves around coverage of the Tour de France or other major races shown on TV. Our conversation delves much deeper than this, to reveal what happens behind the scenes, and show both the intensity of purpose and the many stages of suffering that's a hallmark of this sport. Kristof's book is titled The Art of Suffering for a reason. As he aptly sums up in the book's opening quote: “Where the conditions get grimmer and the riders start to suffer, that's when the more interesting stories begin.”   Guests: Phil Penman & Kristof Ramon   Episode Timeline:   3:56: Phil Penman's connection to the competitive cycling world and how his insight as a cyclist informs his photography of the sport.    7:45: The logistics of photographing competitive cycling and the perils of damaging photo equipment.   10:36: The creative aspect to photographing competitive cycling and how to think outside the box to get impactful shots.   15:16: The many stages of suffering involved in competitive cycling, and the pride riders take in having this documented visually.   20:35: Photographer access, the difference between training rides and race days, and the distinctions between agency access and working independently.   26:26: Changes to Kristof's photographic approach and the influence of social media in the sport's evolution.   31:31: Technical aspects of cycling photography, understanding light, capturing speed, and putting in the time so to react intuitively to picture opportunities.   43:44: Episode Break   44:53: Communication strategies, building rapport with riders and teams, and people skills given the sport's international reach.   47:51: Cycling's rich history as a professional sport, and recent changes initiated by British Team Sky that helped the sport evolve.   54:45: The back story to Kristof's Art of Suffering book project and how his collaboration with cycling writer Matt Rendell helped identify suffering as a narrative element.   58:40: Working with clients, balancing that work with personal projects, and developing a distinctive voice as a photographer.    1:06:15: How to start out as a competitive cycling photographer, questions about credentials, and adapting to new networks to distribute your work.   1:13:23: Balancing technical aspects of action photography with the desired emotional response while building in certainties and calculating risk.     Guest Bios: British-born, New York-based photographer Phil Penman has documented the ever-changing scene of New York City's streets for more than 25 years. and he has quite a bit of experience in the world of professional cycling himself.   In his career as a news and magazine photographer, Phil has photographed major public figures and historical events. His reportage following the 9/11 terrorist attack was featured in major print publications and media broadcasts worldwide, and his work covering New York City's pandemic lockdown is in the collection of the U.S. Library of Congress.    In addition to exhibiting at Leica galleries in New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, and London, Phil's signature street photography has appeared in international exhibitions as far afield as Venice, Berlin, and Sydney. He also tours the world teaching photo workshops for Leica Akademie. Phil's books, "Street" published in 2019, and "New York Street Diaries" published in 2023 both became best-sellers and have been featured at New York's Museum of Modern Art.   Kristof Ramon is a pro-cycling photographer who covers some of the world's most prestigious races, including the Tour de France, the Giro d' Italia, the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix. Born and raised in Belgium, Kristof discovered photography while attending film school at age 19. He eventually followed his passion for cycling and photography and has focused exclusively on this sport since 2011.    Working under the name Kramon, his talent for storytelling and his ability to capture the atmosphere and raw emotion of racing makes his images stand out from typical race photography. Kristof's reputation has earned him the respect and trust of many of the biggest racing teams and riders - which is why he's able to capture such extraordinary in-between moments and behind-the-scenes images. The riders are always his primary focus, as evidenced in his close-up portraits of racers caked in sweat, mud, dust, snow, and grime. Kristof's first book, The Art of Suffering, was released in June 2024 by Laurence King Publishing.   Stay Connected: Phil Penman Website: https://www.philpenman.com Phil Penman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philpenman/ Phil Penman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/philpenmanphotography/  Phil Penman Twitter: https://x.com/Penmanphoto  Phil Penman Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Penman   Kristof Ramon Website: https://kramon.be/ Kristof Ramon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kramon_velophoto Kristof Ramon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kramon/ Kristof Ramon Twitter: https://x.com/kristoframon  Kristof Ramon Photoshelter: https://kramon.photoshelter.com/ Kristof Ramon Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kristoframon/  Kristof Ramon at Lawrence King Publishing: https://us.laurenceking.com/products/the-art-of-suffering

As today's guest writes in the introduction of her new book Penman of the Founding: A Biography of John Dickinson, “For more than two hundred years, John Dickinson has suffered from an image problem that no one in his day would have thought possible." In Signers' Hall at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the statue of John Dickinson stands alone in a corner, hand pensively on chin, apart from the action of the Federal Convention…Alternatively, they might imagine him in the manner of the musical 1776, strutting across a stage, ever to the right, never to the left, with ruffles aflutter, singing jubilantly about his conservatism. There he at least possesses the virtue of energy. Or they could imagine him as HBO's pale, sweaty, scowling disbeliever in the American cause, opposite a stalwart John Adams. But none of these images of him is accurate.” That is if we have any images of him in our heads at all–which, to be honest, is highly unlikely. This conversation aims to change that.  Jane E. Calvert is Founding Director and Chief Editor of the John Dickinson Writings Project, which under her guidance has produced three of a projected 13 volumes of Dickinson's prolific output. She is the authority on Quaker political thought, which she has delineated in Quaker Constitutionalism and the Political Thought of John Dickinson. Penman of the Founding is now the definitive biography of John Dickinson, and hopefully the basis for much more scholarly work.

"We cannot be happy without being FREE." Those words come from John Dickinson, who saw LIBERTY as the foundation of everything else. Once almost as famous as Benjamin Franklin, Dickinson is almost totally forgotten today. Known as the “Penman of the Revolution,” he was a fierce defender of natural rights, the father of the Articles of Confederation, a leading opponent of the Stamp Act, a supporter of the Constitution, and much more. To honor his birthday, we're diving into the life and legacy of one of America's most underrated and ignored founding fathers. The post Most Underrated and Ignored Founder: John Dickinson, Penman of the Revolution first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

During the mid-1800s, one third of all paper money in America was thought to be fake. It was the golden age of counterfeiting, and one exceptionally talented con artist stood out from all the rest. His fakes were nearly perfect…but for a trademark tell. Known to law enforcement only as “Jim the Penman,” this celebrity criminal led many Americans to wonder: can great art truly be criminal? GuestsEllen Feingold, curator of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History
