Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Shelli-Ann McKenzie. Purpose of the Interview The interview focuses on advocating for healthcare professionals, addressing the challenges they face, and introducing Shelli-Ann McKenzie’s nonprofit organization, Help for Healthcare Professionals (HCPP). The goal is to highlight burnout, financial struggles, and systemic issues in healthcare while promoting programs that support mental wellness, financial literacy, and career development. Key Takeaways Healthcare Workforce Challenges Nurses and healthcare professionals face high stress, burnout, and long hours, leading to workforce shortages. Many professionals struggle financially—24% live in poverty. Lack of professors in nursing schools limits the number of students entering the profession. Understanding Nursing Roles Nursing includes multiple levels: Registered Nurse (RN): Associate or bachelor’s degree. Advanced Practice Nurses: Master’s level (e.g., Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator). Doctorate Level: Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or PhD. Nurse practitioners often function as an extension of physicians, providing quality care. Respect and Recognition Nurses provide more direct care than any other health profession but often lack recognition. Advocacy is key to ensuring nurses can practice at the highest level and improve access to care. Why HCPP Was Founded Born out of COVID-19 crisis and Shelli-Ann’s personal experience with burnout. Mission: Provide mental health referrals, financial assistance (gift cards, gas), and professional development. Programs include: Financial literacy workshops Entrepreneurship training for healthcare professionals Scholarships and internships for aspiring professionals Youth Med Program Targets ages 13–20 to build a healthcare workforce pipeline. Offers hands-on training, CPR certification, exposure to neurosurgeons, and mentorship. Tuition-free and designed to scale nationally. Funding and Community Support HCPP is a nurse-owned nonprofit, funded by federal grants and donations. Annual event: Night of Grand and Gratitude—a charity awards dinner to raise funds for programs. Notable Quotes “No one else was coming to save us—so I created HCPP.” “24% of healthcare professionals live in poverty.” “If we don’t have enough professors, we cap nursing students—it’s cyclical.” “The most rewarding part of nursing is showing up for people in their most vulnerable moments.” “Every dollar we raise fuels education programs like Youth Med—strategic investment in the future of healthcare.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we're grateful to share a conversation with our friend Tucker Boyle—a longtime seminary and institute teacher and the founder of Harmony Road Retreats, a nonprofit creating safe, supportive spaces for people in faith crisis.As a young missionary, Tucker fell in love with teaching the gospel and knew he wanted to become a full-time seminary teacher. He stepped into that role with his whole heart, and years later pursued a PhD, hoping to become an even better, more thoughtful teacher. But during his doctoral research into early Church history, his certainty began to fracture. And before long, the ground beneath him seemed to give way. His work, his community, his family—his entire life—was built around the faith he was now struggling to hold.And for the first time, Tucker wondered if he belonged. He describes sitting in church—once his sanctuary—and feeling his body surge into fight or flight. But in time, he learned that what felt like collapse was the beginning of a deeper, more conscious faith.Today, Tucker shares how that unraveling became an invitation into transformation. And though the questions didn't disappear, his relationship to them changed. The groundlessness opened into something more spacious and alive, expanding his capacity for love, humility, and connection.Whether you're in the middle of your own wrestle, loving someone through theirs, or simply trying to build a faith that can hold complexity, we think Tucker offers language and light for the journey.If you or someone you love is navigating a faith journey you can check out Tucker's organization at harmonyroadretreats.com. Tucker created these retreats to offer the kind of support and community he needed—spaces where you can feel less alone, where you can connect with others on the road, and explore practices that cultivate inner harmony and peace. He has retreats coming up in both March and April, and you can find all the details on the website.As always, thank you so much for listening—we're so glad you're here. You can check out more at faithmatters.org.Join us March 6 in SLC for Interfaith REPAIR: a peacemaking workshop from Waymakers!

Gavin Newsom, aiming for President in 2028, has a new social media strategy using a combative, trolling mockery of Trump's voice – but the joke has gotten old and is not helping him with Democrat voters. “Hate clicks” are getting his press office a lot of views, but many Leftist voters – who are often offended by comedians – are growing alienated by the new direction. Will Newsom's social strategy cost him the election before it begins? Jesse Kelly is a radio host and political commentator.

Are you ready to unravel the mysteries of modern male behavior? Buckle up for part one of a riveting two-part episode where we delve into the significant behavioral shifts in young men, marked by an increase in recklessness and a trend towards evading long-term commitments. Joining me today is William Costello, an expert on behavioral patterns, writer, researcher, and PhD student at the Evolutionary Psych Lab who will shed light on the rising recklessness, commitment-phobia among young men, and the emerging 'mating crisis'. We'll unpack the 'mating crisis', linking the drop in male commitment to relationships with the surge of women outpacing men in education. But that's not all! We'll also explore how dating apps and the internet have transformed the modern dating scene, giving rise to new socio-cultural phenomena like the 'incel' community.

The book shares evidence that the Anunnaki's influence extends beyond the realms of mythology and religion, shaping the very foundations of our understanding of reality, consciousness, and the nature of the self. By exploring the connections between the Anunnaki, shamanic practices, psychedelic experiences, and modern pursuits such as artificial intelligence and transhumanism, Anunnaki Revelation aims to trace the origins and trajectory of the transformative impact these gods had on the human experience.Who were the Anunnaki? Were they benevolent guides or malevolent manipulators, and what will the answer mean for our understanding of the nature of reality?Was the Anunnaki's wisdom transmitted to early civilizations, then preserved and passed down through secret societies and occult practices?Were psychedelics, shamanic practices, and altered states of consciousness used to communicate with the Anunnaki and other entities? Are they still?Anunnaki Revelation examines the Anunnaki in a new light, as discarnate entities who played a crucial role in the development of human consciousness and civilization by communicating advanced knowledge to the leaders of a lost civilization.Heather Lynn, PhD, is a historian of the human mind and author of The Anunnaki Connection, Evil Archaeology, and Baphomet Revealed. Heather holds degrees in archaeology, information technology, and history, as well as a doctorate in education from the University of New England. Her academic work concentrates on cognitive archaeology, consciousness, artificial intelligence, symbolism, iconography, and the exploration of myth and art through a Jungian conceptual framework.

“I am in the Jeffrey Epstein files,” Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic Magazine, recently revealed. “I did get an invite to the island, the even crazier story.” Despite his name appearing in the DOJ's release of Epstein's emails, Shermer says he never went to Little Saint James or committed any crimes. The leaked emails reference a Skeptic Magazine event that Epstein attended without Shermer's knowledge. This nuance hasn't stopped the fury of the internet mob: Shermer's social media is filled with attacks by people who believe anyone who ever met or spoke to Epstein must be involved in his crimes.

Host Todd Conklin interviews fatigue expert Mark Rosekind, PhD about his path from sleep research to roles at NASA, the NTSB, and NHTSA, and how sleep science applies across transportation and safety-critical work. Key takeaways: think of sleep like a bank account (sleep debt), "start in the black" before major schedule changes, the benefits of strategic naps, and systemic ways organizations can reduce fatigue to improve performance, health, and safety.
Dr. Nanyamka Redmond joins guest host Ruthi Hanchett as they explore how everyday adults — parents, teachers, coaches, and neighbors — can become a powerful protective factor in young people's lives by building the kinds of relationships that help youth thrive and navigate risk.Chapters(00:00) - (00:00) - Introduction: Why Relationships Matter More Than Programs (01:02) - Meet Dr. Nanyamka Redmond and the Search Institute (02:48) - What Are Developmental Assets — and Why Do They Work?

She holds a PhD in Applied Developmental Psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary and a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. Her work focuses on developmental relationships, youth resilience, and advancing equitable, relationship-centered approaches to youth development and wellbeing. Dr. Redmond specializes in translating developmental science into practical tools for educators, families, youth-serving professionals, and community organizations, emphasizing culturally responsive and strengths-based approaches that center young people's lived experiences. She has also served as Director of School Partnership for Character Lab, co-founded by Angela Duckworth, and is a keynote speaker at the Global Center for Women and Justice's Ensure Justice Conference.Key PointsAn anti-trafficking program can teach warning signs, but it cannot replace a caring adult — if a young person doesn't feel seen, safe, and valued, information alone won't protect them.The Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets framework identifies a combination of internal strengths and external supports that young people need to thrive, and research consistently shows that the more assets a young person has, the better their outcomes.Developmental relationships go beyond good relationships — they are defined by five specific elements (express care, challenge growth, provide support, share power, and expand possibilities) that research has shown to directly impact positive youth outcomes and reduce risk.For youth who have experienced trauma, relationships have often been transactional or harmful, so the experience of someone who cares without strings attached can be surprising — which is why consistency and small, repeated moments of connection matter more than grand gestures.Belonging is not just a buzzword — when adults work to help every young person feel genuinely seen and valued in the spaces meant for them, it builds the sense of dignity that serves as a foundation for resilience.Sharing power with young people doesn't mean abandoning guidance; it means entering those relationships with a frame that sees adolescence as an age of opportunity rather than a period of storm and stress.Resilience is relational — it is not something young people build alone, but something that grows when multiple caring adults across their ecosystem show up consistently over time.Adults who want to support youth leadership can start with incremental steps: invite young people to co-create the questions, let them lead the conversation, and hold the barriers gently without squashing the vision.ResourcesSearch InstituteThe 40 Developmental Assets FrameworkGlobal Center for Women and JusticeEnding Human Trafficking PodcastAge of Opportunity: Lessons from the New Science of Adolescence by Laurence Steinberg
Why did the academic elite fail to see Bitcoin coming? Dr. Adam Back (@adam3us), the inventor of Hashcash, explains that professors were too obsessed with centralized bank models to conceive of a proof of work system that replaces central authority. While the ivory tower refined flawed systems, cypherpunks built a reality that does not require a middleman.Adam's journey started on the front lines of digital privacy, using his PhD as a license to hack. He laid the foundation for electronic cash by prioritizing sovereign rights. As the founder of Blockstream, he is an OG who never sold out, famously moving past shitcoin bribes to protect his ethical reputation.We tackle the reality of scaling. Adam argues that while Bitcoin is hard to change by design, the lightning network and sidechains allow for high-speed trade without risking the base layer. This modular approach lets Bitcoin evolve into a global financial layer while staying decentralized, proving the skeptics wrong one block at a time.In El Salvador, the government rejected shitcoin pitches to double down on Bitcoin. Adam notes this homegrown success could see the country rival major powers like Germany. It is a blueprint for using sound money to leapfrog the legacy financial system.Adam is now focused on filling innovation gaps from privacy to treasury reserves.

Send a textRole of bile acids in cholesterol regulation, digestion & metabolic diseases like diabetes.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Bile acids basics: They enable cholesterol excretion, with about half of bodily cholesterol eliminated this way, and also aid digestion by emulsifying fats to increase enzyme access.Bile production & pathway: Synthesized in liver hepatocytes, bile flows via ducts to the gallbladder for storage or directly to the small intestine; post-meal, cholecystokinin triggers gallbladder contraction for fat emulsification.Regulation of bile acids: Self-regulated to prevent cytotoxicity, as excess can damage cell membranes; insulin and bile acids themselves influence synthesis and transport, with defects in insulin-resistant states.Bile acids in metabolic diseases: Increased synthesis, especially 12-hydroxylated types, occurs in type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, potentially as an adaptation for better nutrient absorption during perceived scarcity.Gallbladder removal & gallstones: Common due to cholesterol supersaturation forming stones; removal eliminates concentration but preserves bile flow, reducing tolerance for high-fat meals.Bariatric surgery impacts: Procedures like gastric bypass increase circulating bile acids without major synthesis changes, while more extreme ones boost synthesis due to impaired intestinal sensing.Cholesterol homeostasis: Cells tightly regulate membrane cholesterol for fluidity and signaling; most bodily cholesterol is synthesized internally, with LDL receptors key to blood levels.Ongoing research: Haeusler's lab explores manganese's role in metabolism, bile acids in liver inflammation, and insulin's effects on lipoproteins.ABOUT THE GUEST: Rebecca Haeusler, PhD is an associate professor at Columbia University in the departments of medicine and pathology and cell biology, affiliated with the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center and the Digestive and Liver Diseases Research Center.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 269 | Soybean Oil: Obesity, Fatty Liver Disease, Gut Health, IBS & Colitis | Frances SladekSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

What if autoimmune disease is not an overactive immune system, but a loss of immune tolerance? In our latest episode, I sit down with Dr. Russell Jaffe, MD, PhD, CCN, a pioneer in integrative and functional medicine, to unpack the difference between suppressing symptoms and restoring true immune balance. We explore the concept of immune competence, why inflammation often reflects a repair deficit, and how the body's innate intelligence can be supported rather than silenced. Dr. Jaffe challenges the conventional "anti" model of medicine and instead emphasizes evoking repair through bioavailable nutrition and targeted lifestyle strategies. We discuss autoimmune disease, immune tolerance, advanced biomarkers, and the critical role of nutrients like vitamin C in cellular repair and resilience. This conversation reframes longevity as healthspan and vitality, reminding us that sustainable healing begins by restoring balance at the systems level. If you are ready to rethink inflammation, immunity, and what true healing looks like, this episode is for you. Key takeaways: Transformation through Adversity: Tyler Bramlett's career shifted due to personal injuries, leading him to develop a fitness philosophy focused on movement freedom and longevity rather than aesthetics. Critique of Traditional Fitness Culture: Tyler discusses the toxic narratives in the fitness industry that drive people towards self-loathing and unhealthy pursuits of physical perfection. Personalized Approach to Fitness: Through We Shape, Tyler emphasizes the importance of customized workouts that honor individual needs, capabilities, and health conditions. Movement Snacks for Health: Tyler suggests incorporating small, mindful movement practices throughout the day to enhance mobility and health without the rigidity of structured workouts. Mindset and Community: A supportive community and a positive mindset are crucial for real health transformations, shifting the focus from external validation to internal well-being. More About Tyler Bramlett: Tyler Bramlett is a movement coach, father, and Co-founder of WeShape whose path was reshaped by a cycling accident that shattered his femur and permanently damaged his knee. Unable to return to traditional, appearance-driven fitness routines, he began a 15-year healing journey that included multiple surgeries and deep study in functional anatomy, biomechanics, and rehabilitation. Through working with top physical therapists and coaches, he discovered that real transformation comes from moving smarter, not pushing harder. This led him to reject shame-based fitness culture and create an approach centered on alignment, mindful movement, and what he calls "movement freedom" — the ability to live without feeling trapped in a body that hurts. After building and later stepping away from a multi-million-dollar fitness company that ranked on the Inc. 500 for three consecutive years, Tyler and his wife founded WeShape to challenge the belief that worth is tied to appearance. His work now sits at the intersection of movement, psychology, and culture, helping primarily women 50+ reduce pain, restore confidence, and build healthier relationships with their bodies. With more than 800 million views and 6.3 million followers across platforms, Tyler blends personal story, practical expertise, and emotional depth. His message resonates widely, making him a compelling voice in conversations around wellness, mindset, resilience, and the future of fitness. Website Instagram Facebook YouTube Connect with me!

Send a textThe America First Global Health Strategy promises something African health advocates have demanded for decades: ownership. Through time-bound bilateral compacts, countries co-finance health programs with the US, gradually taking over as American funding tapers. By year five, they're supposed to own and sustain these systems themselves.But what if ownership without authority is just dependency with a new face?In this episode, we sit down with Nelson Aghogho Evaborhene, PhD fellow in Global Health Governance at Roskilde University, to unpack how these compacts actually work. Nelson has written several major analyses of the AFGH, and his conclusion is stark: these agreements transfer responsibility to African governments without transferring commensurate control over technology, data, procurement, or even the political conditions under which funding continues.We explore Nigeria's $3 billion compact and its religious conditionalities, the South Africa precedent where funding was cut for political reasons despite strong performance, how bilateralism fragments the continental institutions Africa has been building, and why—even with full domestic financing—health systems remain vulnerable to collapse if they can't produce what they need.Reading: Nelson's articlesRebalancing Risk and Responsibility Under the America First Global Health StrategyThe America First Global Health Strategy and the Dilemma of Pan-AfricanismAmerica First and the Fragmentation of Global Health: How Africa can Reimagine Its AgencyProtecting global health in the era of the America First StrategyTo support us, consider becoming a paid subscriber on Patreon or making a one-time donation via PayPal.

#693: AI learns your job in weeks … and you start wondering if you still have one. That question shapes our conversation with Dr. Ben Zweig, CEO of Revelio Labs, a workforce data company that uses AI to build large employment databases and study labor market shifts. He also teaches a class on The Future of Work at NYU Stern School of Business. He holds a PhD in economics from CUNY Graduate Center. Dr. Zweig starts with the legend of John Henry, the steel driver who raced a steam drill and lost his life trying to prove that a human could still beat a machine. The story mirrors the Luddites, who smashed looms when automation threatened their work. The fear of technology replacing workers is a theme throughout history. It keeps repeating. And yet, this time it feels different. You hear how today's panic fits into a longer pattern. Sixty percent of current jobs did not exist a century ago. Even jobs that kept the same name changed completely. Dr. Zweig describes his father tabulating punch cards as a statistician, while he now builds neural networks. Same field. Different tasks. We break down what a job actually means. A job is a bundle of tasks. You execute tasks, but you also orchestrate them – deciding order, workflow and coordination. AI tends to automate the most granular tasks first. Broader, abstract orchestration proves harder to replace. Dr. Zweig argues that “augmentation” often just means partial automation that frees you to focus on what remains. The discussion turns to empathy-driven roles, such as rabbis, psychologists, and teachers. Dr. Zweig cites traits such as empathy, presence, opinion, creativity and hope as distinctly human. He notes AI still struggles with memory and long-term relational trust. You also hear what this means if you are early in your career. Hiring has slowed. Entry-level roles appear more exposed to automation. Dr. Zweig says younger workers often lack orchestration experience and face a risk-averse market. He says that to be competitive in today's job market, you should take ownership of complex projects from start to finish.

Everything Life Coaching: The Positive Psychology and Science Behind Coaching
In this conversation on The Everything Life Coaching Podcast, Noelle Cordeaux, CEO of Lumia, sits down with Juliann Wiese, B.Ed., CPCC, MCC, CMC and Karyn Edwards, PhD, MCC... both longtime Lumia instructors and corporate leadership veterans who've collectively spent decades inside organizations before hanging up their shingles and building thriving independent practices. They get into the real talk of what it means to move from doing coaching to being a coach, letting go of ego, performance, and the constant toggling of skills, and what it looks like when the work finally becomes embodied. Juliann and Karyn also unpack what just changed in the ICF core competencies (updated November 2025) and why the renewed emphasis on mentorship and self-awareness as a coach is the future of the profession. These two are launching a mentor coaching cohort together, designed for coaches working in or aspiring to corporate environments, led by two of the roughly 4-5% of ICF-credentialed coaches worldwide who hold the MCC designation. They break down what questions you should actually be asking before choosing a mentor coach, why development beats checkbox-chasing every time, and what makes this program different. Only 10 spots.

In this conversation, Bethany and Dr. Don Watenpaugh, PHD, D, ABSM, address some listener questions and dive deeper into the intricate relationship between concussions and sleep. They explore practical strategies for managing sleep when faced with non-traditional schedules, unpack the vicious cycle of insomnia, and discuss the pros and cons of sleep aids. Dr. Watenpaugh provides science-backed advice on everything from racing thoughts at bedtime to the historical concept of biphasic sleep, always tying it back to the critical goal of optimizing brain recovery after a concussion. This episode is packed with actionable insights for anyone struggling with sleep during their concussion recovery.Key Topics DiscussedShift Work & Circadian Rhythms: Advice for those working night shifts or odd hours, emphasizing the critical need for a consistent sleep-wake schedule—even on days off—to avoid "shift work sleep disorder" and support brain healing.Managing a Racing Mind at Bedtime: Differentiating between perseverating on a specific problem (solution: a handwritten "bedtime journal") and having truly random, racing thoughts (solution: encourage the thoughts and "dream yourself to sleep").The Power of Consistency: Re-establishing that a regular wake time, exposure to bright light, and movement/activity first thing in the "morning" (even if it's dark outside) is the most powerful tool for entraining your circadian rhythm.Biphasic ("Two") Sleep: Exploring the historical concept of sleeping in two segments and whether it has any relevance or benefit for modern humans and concussion recovery.Sleep Medications & Concussion: A nuanced discussion on the role of sleep aids, including:The value of "break the glass in case of emergency" use.The often-overlooked danger of fall risk for concussion patients with balance issues.How insomnia can lead to counterproductive behaviors (napping, caffeine overuse) that make the problem worse.Caffeine & Sleep Quality: Why avoiding caffeine after early afternoon is crucial, and clarifying that it degrades the quality of deep (delta) sleep, which is essential for brain recovery.The Role of an Advocate: Reinforcing how critical it is for a friend or family member to support a concussion patient, as the cognitive symptoms can be severe and make self-advocacy difficult.Resources MentionedLiving Concussion Guidelines: Dr. Watenpaugh highly recommends this resource for its evidence-based recommendations.Website: concussionsontario.orgPrevious Conversation: For foundational knowledge on sleep, listen to Part 1 of this discussion.Episode: 122 - A Deep Dive into Sleep with Dr. Don WatenpaughConnect with Dr. Don WatenpaughWebsite: https://www.studiovidenda.com/Bethany Lewis & The Concussion Coach:Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Download at https://theconcussioncoach.com/Concussion Coaching Program: For personalized mentorship in recovery.

Dr Chiang is an associate professor of medicine in the Section of Medical Oncology at Yale School of Medicine and associate cancer center director for clinical initiatives at Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Connecticut.In our exclusive interview, Chiang reflected on how the field has shifted since the introduction of chemoimmunotherapy in 2018, highlighting improvements in median overall survival and the emergence of long-term responders in extensive-stage disease. Chiang also explored the growing understanding of disease heterogeneity, and the evolution of biomarker-informed strategies like under evaluation in the phase 2 S2409 PRISM trial (NCT06769126).Additionally, Chiang examined the clinical effect of DLL3-targeted therapies, including the recently approved bispecific antibody tarlatamab-dlle (Imdelltra), and how surface-targeting strategies are expanding options beyond traditional chemotherapy. Beyond efficacy, Chiang underscored the importance of individualized decision-making by assessing patient fitness beyond ECOG performance status, navigating treatment urgency in rapidly progressive disease, and balancing durability with toxicity when counseling patients on therapy.

Get access to The Backroom (100+ exclusive episodes) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeThis week on 1Dime Radio, Tony is joined again by Benjamin Studebaker, political theorist with a PhD from Cambridge, to dig into Ben's recent article on “Debilitated Democracy,” the idea that modern democracies do not simply “decline”, they get structurally less capable over time, as modernization accelerates, politics fractures, and governance is pushed into an executive-technical machine that neither elected leaders nor technocrats can fully control. From there, we tackle Ben's argument for why America can't become an autocracy, and why people confuse authoritarian policy with autocratic rule, plus how federal complexity, institutional pluralism, and factional conflict make “dictatorship” fantasies harder to cash out in real life.Parts 2 and 3 of my conversation with Studebaker are in The Backroom on Patreon only. In The Backroom, as alluded to in the Backroom Preview in the first 2.5–3 minutes, Benjamin and I answer some of the most common questions we get regarding our politics. Are we post-left? Marxist? Or what? In particular, I try to get Studebaker to articulate what his personal political philosophy is, and what solutions or alternatives to our current impasse he believes in.Timestamps:00:00:00 Studebaker's Political Philosophy (The Backroom Preview)00:04:13 Intro, “Debilitated Democracy,” and the autocracy question00:13:08 Technocrats as “priests,” and why institutional trust collapses00:28:08 Elected officials vs technocrats, the executive branch tug-of-war00:47:36 Kelsen, Habermas, and democracy's legitimation crisis00:54:47 Trump, tariffs, visas, and the political limits of “disentangling” from the world order00:59:18 Authoritarian policy vs autocratic rule, why America can't be an autocracy01:11:59 Nick Land, Curtis Yarvin, and the “CEO-king” temptation01:23:23 Government shutdowns, food stamps, and “embedded democracy.”01:35:25 Managing the European right, and why France and Germany are different01:43:05 State capacity, charismatic leaders, and modern governance limits01:56:08 Backroom teaser: what “left” and “right” even mean nowGUEST:Benjamin Studebaker• Substack: https://bmstudebaker.substack.com/• Website: https://benjaminstudebaker.com/• X: https://x.com/BMStudebakerFOLLOW 1Dime:• Substack (Articles and Essays): https://1dimereview.substack.com/• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: instagram.com/1dimeman• Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.

Osteosarcoma Webinar Series: Corey Weistuch, PhD, an Assistant Attending Physicist in the Service for Predictive Informatics within the Department of Medical Physics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, will discuss his OutSmarting Osteosarcoma funded work on implementing personalized, adaptive therapies in osteosarcoma.Corey Weistuch, PhD, is an Assistant Attending Physicist in the Service for Predictive Informatics within the Department of Medical Physics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. His work is focused on developing mathematical models to understand cancer development, progression, and metastasis by integrating multimodal data. Central to this approach is the recognition that tumors occupy a finite spectrum of functional states, each characterized by distinct treatment sensitivities and metastatic tendencies that evolve over time and in response to therapy. His research centers on two primary objectives: 1) developing innovative mathematical tools to identify cancer phenotype drivers, and 2) precision modeling of cancer evolution and site-specific metastatic dissemination. By leveraging his interdisciplinary training in mathematics and biology, he collaborates closely with experimental biologists and clinicians to ensure that his computational predictions are effectively translated into tangible clinical applications and trials.The Weistuch Lab's work aims to validate targeted drug candidates for osteosarcoma (OS) using patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, leveraging a newly developed atlas of OS transcriptional states, called archetypes, to guide personalized, adaptive treatment strategies. By testing archetype-specific therapies in different disease phases, they establish a foundation for precision-based clinical trials, ultimately with the goal of improving outcomes for patients with advanced or refractory OS.
Dive into Episode #163 of the Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast, featuring host Dr. I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, and special guest Peuge Benjamin, a solutions engineer and mental health advocate who focuses on the mental health challenges that impact Black Men. A Solutions Engineer is uniquely positioned to bridge technology and human need. Mr. Benjamin uses the skills and knowledge he has gained in the technology industry to help design systems that foster mental health and safe communities where black men can not only survive. When it comes to Black male mental health, their role isn't clinical; it's about building systems that make care accessible, trustworthy, and culturally relevant. They can design platforms that connect men to culturally competent therapists and peer networks, ensuring the interface feels safe and intuitive. They can integrate data from surveys, wearables, and community programs to highlight stress patterns and track outcomes, providing advocates with the evidence they need to push for change.

Publishing likes to imagine itself as a marketplace of ideas with a strong immune system: good arguments win, bad ones fade, and editors act as principled gatekeepers. In practice, it's also an industry with thin margins, status anxiety, and a constant fear of reputational damage. Adam Szetela argues that a lot of what gets called "cancel culture" in books is better understood as risk management under social media conditions. Outrage compresses timelines, collapses context, and turns interpretation into a moral referendum. A handful of motivated actors can create the impression of a mass consensus—and once that perception takes hold, institutions often move first and ask questions later. We talk about how "sensitivity reading" functions in this environment: sometimes as thoughtful critique, sometimes as a liability shield, and sometimes as a tool that quietly shifts a book's meaning toward whatever ideology currently feels safest. The result is a distributed system of incentives that nudges publishers toward caution, self-censorship, and blandness … while occasionally rewarding controversy because conflict drives attention. This conversation doesn't treat every public criticism as illegitimate, or every publisher decision as cowardice. The point is to map the machinery: how reputations get threatened, how moral language expands, why apologies can backfire, and why the incentives often select for the loudest framing over the most accurate one. Adam Szetela earned his PhD in English from the Department of Literatures at Cornell University. Before Cornell, he was a visiting fellow in the Program on the Study of Capitalism at Harvard University. He writes for The Washington Post, The Guardian, Newsweek, and other publications. Among other places, his writing has been honored by the Society for Features Journalism. His new book is That Book Is Dangerous! How Moral Panic, Social Media, and the Culture Wars Are Remaking Publishing.

Let us chat about today the inches all around us and also about how there is no market in healthcare all at once in this show. Today I am talking with Ivana Krajcinovic. And let me give you some examples of the inches. Two members of a plan get infusions at a hospital. And if these two members had gone down the street to get their infusions, the total cost of the two of them would have been $1 million less … $1 million less! How many inches is a million dollars? For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Or the examples Ivana Krajcinovic talks about coming up where an independent practice was charging $135 for a chemo infusion and the hospital down the street was charging for the same exact drug, by the way—the same exact infusion—$13,560 … $135 versus $13,560! We talk about affordability in this country? Member's paying coinsurance off that 13K, by the way. And if you're doing the math at home, that is a 10,000% markup. Or if we start from the Medicare price, it was a 40,000% markup. Then there's another example that Ivana talks about where a plan member went to a hospital and got a $90,000 bill for a series of infusions that, again, down the street would have been $185—all in. Inches much? So, it's pretty clear why the show is part of "The Inches Are All Around Us" series. Why do I say this is part of the "No Market" series? Because look, functioning markets rationalize prices. That's just what they do. So, if you have two places in the exact same geography and one of them is charging 500 times or whatever the other one, you don't have a market if they're both still in business a year later. Ongoing wild price variations is a big tell that there's no market to be had. Another tell, though, is that carrier networks, who are supposed to be the demand curve here—or at least that's what their marketing says or what we are all kind of led to believe—they advertise as high-value networks, right? The fact that any given network experiences essentially no business repercussions for spending a million dollars extra of its plan sponsors' (its customers') money—because that's who's paying for this, the self-insured employer or union, at the end of the day—and the network, the carrier network doesn't lose business as a result … Right? Listen to the show from last week with Jacob Asher, MD (Take Two: EP398) about the carrier nonmarket and why this is the case. But bottom line, if anyone is waiting on a market to constrain prices for them, that is very magical thinking. Where this whole thing is gonna wind up, by the way, is with my guest today, Ivana Krajcinovic, suggesting a roadmap to make a whole lot more likely that you'll pay $135 for an infusion instead of 13 grand. For more on this, do go back and listen to the show with Keith Hartman, RPh, by the way. We teed this off a couple of years ago. That was episode 369. But in Ivana's upcoming roadmap that you're gonna hear about (just doubling down on the spoilers—if I'm gonna do something, I might as well do it well), but in that roadmap, direct contracts with indie practices will feature a starring role. I'm telling you this because if you're one of those folks that listens to like 23 minutes of any given podcast and then bails, make sure you make it to around the 30-minute mark of the show. As I have said several times already, my guest today is the incomparable Ivana Krajcinovic, the outgoing vice president of healthcare delivery at UNITE HERE HEALTH. Ivana has just retired, but she spent over three decades with her team protecting the health and the hard-earned wages of 230,000 hospitality workers. She is exactly the kind of "dangerous expert" that we love to have on the show—someone with the wisdom about how the system actually works and the articulate willingness to talk about it. Okay … so, this conversation about the inches and the nonmarket for infusions specifically in this country, for more information, do go back and read the really excellent Bloomberg News exposé by John Tozzi. It's a really good article, and you'll see everything that we talk about today in writing with all the fact-checking that one would expect from Bloomberg News. So, okay … what we'll do in this episode is, first, we're gonna talk about the infusion nonmarket, the inches and its implications, such as an infusion costing 500 times Medicare when there are 1.5x Medicare options in the same exact health system. Sometimes I just can't even with some of this stuff. But another nonmarket tell, again, is that carrier networks are still in business. We talk all about that. What happens next in this episode is we deconstruct the roadmap that Ivana used to fight back, which starts with (no surprises) drilling into data and ends with direct contracting with independent doctors. And how that happens is by carving out utilization management so that there is site-of-care steerage. So, this is a conversation about fiduciary duty. It's a conversation about transparency, the power of collective action. This podcast is sponsored by Aventria Health Group with an assist from Payerset.

Ivana Krajcinovic, PhD, recently retired as vice president for healthcare delivery at UNITE HERE HEALTH (UHH), a national Taft-Hartley Fund that purchases healthcare for over 200,000 unionized hospitality workers and their families. Combining her training as a health economist with more than 30 years working directly with immigrants and the working poor, Ivana oversaw a wide variety of projects. She has deep expertise in engaging participants, ranging from benefit education to chronic disease self-management, as well as in developing peer-to-peer programs. Ivana led a team whose challenge was to radically bend the cost curve while maintaining quality coverage as every dollar that UHH spends on healthcare is a dollar that could go to a worker in wages—higher wages that are likely to do more for workers' health than increasing spending on their healthcare. Ivana and her team have utilized narrow networks, value-based contracts, and direct contracting and have established health centers designed for their members. Ivana has a PhD in economics from Yale University and is the author of From Company Doctors to Managed Care: The United Mineworkers' Noble Experiment (Cornell University Press). 00:00 $135 vs $13,560: How infusion drug prices play into the "Inches All Around Us" series. 02:02 How infusion drug pricing fits into the "No Market" series. 03:19 A roadmap and more episodes on this topic. 04:36 Introducing this week's expert, Ivana Krajcinovic, PhD. 05:10 A must-read Bloomberg News article on infusion pricing. 05:33 An overview of what to expect from this episode. 06:54 The first tell of the infusion nonmarket. 07:41 The price variations that Ivana has seen in the infusion nonmarket. 11:39 How hospital spend affects wage increases affects patients and employees twice over. 12:04 EP373 with Cora Opsahl. 13:43 The second tell of the infusion nonmarket. 14:33 Take Two: EP398 with Jacob Asher, MD. 14:55 EP483 with Jonathan Baran. 16:15 Why networks are apathetic to this pricing discrepancy. 17:55 The factors that play into the nonmarket issue of infusion drug pricing variations. 18:26 EP475 with Peter Hayes. 19:18 EP370 with Erik Davis and Autumn Yongchu. 19:45 Are pricing discrepancies easy to spot? 22:38 Where we have power in a nonmarket situation. 23:22 A recap of the advice in the show so far. 23:39 EP493 with John Quinn. 23:41 EP496 with Mark Newman. 25:51 How you place pricing pressure on an entity. 28:47 EP482 with Preston Alexander. 29:34 How an improved market creates time for better care coordination. 30:52 EP486 with Stan Schwartz, MD. 33:23 The fourth part of the roadmap. 36:41 EP492 and EP490 with Sam Flanders, MD, and Shane Cerone. 36:49 Why serving the community and being fiscally responsible should go hand in hand. 38:05 EP500 with Stacey.
