Henry Brown earned the name "Henry Box Brown" in March of 1849. He hatched a risky plan and had himself shipped in a wooden crate, from Richmond to Philadelphia. But that's less than half his story. In freedom, he uses his escape box as the basis for a subversive magic act that sees him tour the stages of the UK and Canada — his final home. Henry's remarkable story is a must-listen. *This episode originally aired on Feb. 3, 2025.

Why are compassion, kindness and humility critical to the care of patients in 2026? How can practitioners be taught these approaches and how does this 'triple gift' not only improve patient care but also professional interactions? Can this be taught? If so, what are the best ways? Professor Colin McMahon of Children's Health Ireland at Crumlin shares his deep insights into this important and oft-neglected aspect of being a caregiver. DOI: 10.1007/s00246-026-04161-yFollowing today's interview we also briefly speak with Professor Jack Rychik of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia about the upcoming CHOP 2026 meeting entitled "Cardiology 2026 - Together!".

A dive bar in Philly just raised its age limit to 25 after college kids rolled in with fake IDs so advanced they passed scanners… including one absolute legend who used Benjamin Franklin as his photo and listed his address as the Liberty Bell. This is why we can't have nice things. On today's funny show, the Rizz and the gang relive their own fake ID disasters (yes, Sri Lankan licenses were involved), and debate whether that kid is a criminal mastermind or the future mayor of Philadelphia.Then we shift into full-blown pop culture chaos: Miley Cyrus is already an early favorite for the next Super Bowl halftime show in LA, but would Jelly Roll, Taylor Swift, or Post Malone completely break the internet? We argue. Loudly.

Even a Knicks hater had to admit it: watching New York go into Philadelphia and smack the Sixers around was flat out fun. And save the “Embiid didn't play” talk, because that is the story of the Sixers. If your whole plan hinges on a guy who never seems available, you are not a real postseason threat. The Knicks deserved credit for showing up tough in the final game before the All Star break, with Jose Alvarado bringing edge and the whole team playing more physical, more direct, and way less whiny. But the bigger question is the one Knicks fans have been living with all season: this team looks capable of being great, and also capable of the most annoying letdown losses imaginable. So with the break here, the guys make a one day only exception and do the Mike Brown vs Tom Thibodeau temperature check. Do you feel better, worse, or the same about the Knicks right now, and what do you make of the inconsistency heading into the stretch run?

The Great Knicks Debate: The hosts push back against Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton's theory that the Knicks should avoid the Pistons until the Conference Finals. They argue why facing a dangerous team early—before they earn postseason "battle scars"—is actually the smarter path. Office Controversy: Sean alleges that a coworker "stole" his specific critique of Brian Cashman's spring training wardrobe (likening him to a World Series of Poker player), sparking a debate on radio etiquette and borrowed opinions. Road Game Realities: The crew and callers trade war stories about the dangers of being a visiting fan in hostile environments like Philadelphia and Dallas—specifically the eerie silence (and occasional flying beer bottles) that follows a road team victory. The Dunk Contest & Giants Updates: A look at why even $1 million offers to stars like Kobe and LeBron couldn't fix the Dunk Contest, followed by injury recovery timelines for Giants players Cam and Malik Nabers.

The Knicks roll into Philadelphia and absolutely embarrass the Sixers, and no, we are not hearing the “Embiid didn't play” excuses, because that is the whole point with Philly. From the jump it felt like a home game, with Knicks fans taking over the building and chanting for Jose Alvarado as he put on a ridiculous show. Then, with the All Star break here, it turns into a one day only temperature check on the coaching change: Mike Brown vs Tom Thibodeau. The guys dig into the biggest differences so far, including the bench usage, the minutes coming way down, and why the Knicks might have a higher ceiling this year while also looking uglier in their bad losses. Plus, the joy of winning in someone else's building, road trip talk, and a caller debate on whether the “minutes panic” is real or overrated.

The Knicks didn't just beat the Sixers, they turned Philly into a second Garden. The guys relive the takeover from the stands, the “it sounded like MSG” broadcast moment, and the wild scene of Sixers fans bailing early while Knicks fans kept getting louder. Jose Alvarado becomes the main character in real time, splashing threes, swiping steals, and getting a full blown chant going in Philadelphia like it was a playoff game. From there, it turns into a bigger conversation about the pure satisfaction of winning in someone else's building, the best road win stories, and which trips are actually worth it for New York fans. Plus, a minutes played debate, why comparing the Knicks to KD's situation in Phoenix is a bad comp, and why smart load management matters if your goal is April, May, and June.

Revelation 3:7 Philadelphia and some secret keys...Support the show

The Phillies and Nick Castellanos officially parted ways yesterday — but not before Castellanos left behind a note to the organization. The WIP Afternoon Show reads his message and reacts to what his departure means for the Phillies moving forward.

Solomon Wilcots, analyst for SiriusXM NFL Radio, joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation on the biggest storylines shaping the NFL offseason. Wilcots breaks down the New England Patriots' Super Bowl loss, why one game shouldn't define Drake Maye or Will Campbell, and what Mike Vrabel's leadership means moving forward. He dives into the league's coaching trends, explaining why defensive-minded head coaches may be poised for a resurgence and why being a true “leader of men” still matters most in today's NFL. The discussion also tackles quarterback economics and whether teams should rethink how they hand out massive extensions. From C.J. Stroud's future in Houston to Joe Burrow's long-term outlook in Cincinnati, Wilcots explains why patience and tiered pay structures could reshape roster building. Plus, he weighs in on Maxx Crosby's future with the Raiders, the dynamic between Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown in Philadelphia, and what the Bills and Chiefs must fix to stay in the championship hunt. #nfl #maxxcrosby #joeburrow #bengals Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

According to research on organizational alignment led by LSA Global highly aligned companies grow revenue 58% faster and are 72% more profitable than misaligned companies. So how can you cultivate an aligned culture ready to drive improved outcomes? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win/Win Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Julia Juliano, manager of sales enablement at Cencora. Thank you so much for joining us, Julia! I’d love it if you could kick us off by telling us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. Julia Juliano: Yeah, of course. Thank you so much for having me. I’m excited to be here today. My name is Julia Juliano. I live in the Philadelphia area with my husband, daughter, and two dogs. I’m actually coming up on my seventh year with Cencora. I'm now a sales enablement manager, and I started with the company in generic sales within the New York Metro Territory, where I was a top performing rep. That experience really ignited my passion for empowering sales teams to succeed, which ultimately led me to transition into sales enablement. I entered the enablement world as a specialist about four years ago, and worked my way into my current role as a manager. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting both community retail pharmacies and more recently our specialty distribution business. These experiences have given me a comprehensive understanding of the challenges our teams face and the tools and strategies they need to excel in such a competitive and highly regulated environment. RR: Well, we’re super excited to have you here and to dig into a couple of those things you’ve mentioned—transitioning into that sales enablement role from your desire to help sales teams win, navigating competition. So excited to dig into all of that. I want to start with one of the first things you mentioned, which is that you’ve run the gamut from sales to sales enablement. So, can you take us back to your time as a pharmaceutical sales rep at Cencora? What challenges did you experience that shaped how you enable today? JJ: Yeah, you know, it’s a really unique experience to be able to go from sales to sales enablement. As a pharmaceutical sales rep, I experienced firsthand the challenges of accessing the right resources at the right time. Whether that was finding compliant marketing materials, navigating product specific information, or understanding how to position solutions for different customer needs, there was often a disconnect between the tools available and the realities of working in the field and the conversations that I was having with those customers. That experience really allows me to approach enablement from the rep perspective, knowing that every minute they spend searching for content or trying to interpret complex messaging is a minute that they’re not spending with their customers. My goal is to streamline their workflows, ensure they have what they need at their fingertips, and create alignment between the tools we provide and the outcomes that they’re driving in the field. RR: I think that’s such an important call out: Every minute that you’re distracted with non-essential tasks takes you away from the work that really matters both to you and to our business. I think bringing that kind of lived experience and empathy that comes with it to the table is so huge and helps you kind of build the programs and support arms that you’re like: “I wish I’d had that.” And I know it probably can’t be easy to build those programs because Cencora unites six distinct business units under a single brand. So, from an enablement perspective, what kind of complexity does that create for you? JJ: Yeah, so the complexity really lies in balancing the enterprise wide alignment with the unique needs of each of those six business units. So, the six business units are specialty, GPO, community, retail health systems, animal health, and corporate partnerships. They each serve distinct segments of the healthcare ecosystem; their customers, products, and sales strategies vary significantly, which means that their enablement needs are equally diverse. At the same time as one unified brand, we have to maintain consistency and messaging, compliance and governance across the organization. So from an enablement perspective, this requires a strategic and thoughtful approach to content structure, governance, and collaboration to ensure that we’re effectively addressing both the enterprise and each individual business unit’s priorities. RR: When you’re looking across these priorities and trying to stitch everything together into a clear strategy and message, it's obvious that alignment doesn’t happen by accident. It's a very intentional, thoughtful thing that you have to cultivate. So how do you use Highspot to break down those silos that could potentially appear, and then make sure that everybody’s running to the same drum beat at the same pace? JJ: We’ve accomplished this by building a centralized Spot architecture that balances enterprise-level consistency with business unit-specific relevance. So at the enterprise level, we house shared resources like compliance guides, org charts, corporate initiatives—things like that. At the business unit level, we provide more tailored content and tools designed to meet those unique needs of each team for their specific solutions. Highspot Analytics further enables us to identify content gaps and redundancies, which allows us to continuously refine and optimize our approach By centralizing any efforts on Highspot, we’ve established a single source of truth that fosters alignment while maintaining the flexibility needed to meet those diverse needs across our customer segments. RR: There’s so much in what you said that I really want to dig into in just a second. You know, about how you structured those Spots, how you determine what gets a Spot, what doesn’t, alongside the kind of specific, tailored tools that you’re building for solutions. But I want to start with the foundation, the baseline for all of this, which is that as part of your work, you led the creation of a formal structured governance plan. Why did you see governance as foundational for driving alignment and helping Cencora drive a shared strategy? JJ: Governance is truly the backbone of any successful enablement strategy, especially in a complex organization like Cencora. Without it, you risk content duplication, outdated materials, and a lack of visibility into what’s working and what isn’t. When I joined the team, we had a ton of great content, but it wasn’t always easy for reps to find or trust that they were using the most current and up-to-date version. By implementing a formal governance plan, we established a clear process for content creation, approval, and maintenance. And this not only improved findability and adoption, but also ensured that everything we provide to our teams is compliant, up to date, and aligned with our strategic goals, RR: So, you knew what it could achieve for you, and you’re starting to see those outcomes. Specifically you’re seeing that in the data. You know, as a result of this governance strategy, you’ve seen meaningful improvements in content views, downloads, findability, and even platform adoption. So, what actions or parts of this strategy do you think made the biggest difference in achieving the results that you’ve named? JJ: We implemented a consistent taxonomy or naming convention across all the different business units, which made it easier for reps to navigate and find what they need. We also introduced regular content audits on a quarterly basis to ensure that everything in Highspot is relevant and up to date. Another key action was also leveraging Highspot analytics to identify gaps in content or areas where reps were struggling to find resources. And by addressing those gaps and continuously refining our approach, we saw significant improvements in engagement metrics, like you mentioned, the content views, downloads, and overall adoption of the tool. RR: How did you identify those gaps in content that reps couldn’t find? JJ: So, we created sales surveys and worked with our marketing partners and our solution owners to identify which solutions were being most searched for by reps, what materials they needed to aid in the customer conversations that they were having. Then, you know, in the surveys we addressed: “What would you like to learn more about? What type of content are you unable to find that would be helpful in your day-to-day role?” And so we took those surveys, partnered with marketing and those solution owners, like I mentioned, and were able to create those resources to better drive, you know, adoption and findability within the platform. RR: Okay, amazing. I think that’s such an important approach where you’re building from the perspective of your users. It’s not just: “Here’s what we think works.” It’s: “Okay, what does this actually look like in your day to day and how can we make it better?” And actually that kind of leads me to that Spot architecture that you touched on, which includes enterprise-level and then business-unit specific spots. So, how did you create this structure and then how does it help you create consistency like we talked about, but also keep things relevant to reps' day to day? JJ: Yeah, so we started by clearly defining what belongs at the enterprise level versus the business unit level. Enterprise level Spots include resources that apply across the entire organization—this is our compliance guidelines, corporate initiatives, any distribution information, org charts, and training materials. The business unit specific Spots are tailored to the needs of each team—this is your product specific collateral solution, information, sales playbooks, and any sales execution materials that we have for the teams to ensure consistency. We developed a standardized template for all Spots so that reps know where to find what they need, no matter which business unit they’re in. The structure ensures that the reps have access to both the big picture, along with the details that matter most to their customers. Additionally, each business unit only has access to the enterprise level Spots, plus the materials that are relevant to their team. For example, a rep in health systems won’t be able to see community retail content if it isn’t applicable to their role. So the targeted access keeps search results cleaner and more accurate, reducing noise and helping reps to get to the right asset faster. It also supports a smart marketing model. We may have one enterprise solution, but the go to market strategy, messaging, and customer facing materials can vary by customer profile and their buying environment. So structuring the access this way allows marketing and enablement to maintain the consistent approach for enterprise positioning while still delivering the right version of the story and tailored assets for each individual audience. RR: It feels like there was so much intention and thought put into this. You’ve kind of checked the box for everybody in the org. You know, sales is getting specifically what they need. They don’t have to filter through the noise and the chaos of five other business units. Marketing ensures that their strategy is being executed to its fullest and that the materials they’re producing and investing in are seeing the usage they’d like. Then you as an enablement team have a much easier time governing and maintaining your strict policies because you don’t have that same sprawl, so I love to hear that; it’s a fantastic structure. Not to get too in the weeds, but I’ve heard that as part of this Spot structure, you’re also empowering reps to land the value of Cencora's different product lines by creating Richardson Methodology-inspired Plays for each solution. What do those Plays look like in practice and how are they supporting reps? JJ: Our Richardson-inspired Plays are thoughtfully designed to guide reps through the entire sales process, all the way from discovery to close in a way that’s tailored to each specific solution. Each Play for every individual solution that we offer is structured into three sections:Learn, prepare, and engage. The “Learn” section provides internal facing materials to educate the reps on the solution, ensuring that they have a deep understanding of its value and its applications. The “Prepare” section offers guidance on how to plan and strategize for customer conversations, so this includes tools like questioning frameworks and call planners. And then finally, the “Engage” section houses our customer facing materials. So these are typically created by marketing, and they support reps in effectively communicating the solutions value to customers to support them in those conversations. And these Plays really act as a clear and actionable roadmap, equipping reps with the knowledge, preparation, and resources they need to have more meaningful, productive, and impactful conversations with our customers. RR: So we’ve dug into the details. We talked about thoughtful governance, strategic Spot architecture, and solution-specific plays. When we look at all of this more broadly, how has this approach improved or changed how reps take Cencora solutions to market? JJ: This approach has really transformed how our reps take solutions to market by making it easier for them to find trust and use the resources that they need. With the governance in place, reps know that they’re always accessing the most current and compliant materials, and then the Spot architecture ensures they can quickly find content that’s relevant to their specific customers and sales strategies. The solution-specific Plays also provide a clear roadmap for engaging customers and addressing their individual needs. Together, all of these elements have really improved their efficiency, confidence, and effectiveness, which ultimately has led to better customer outcomes and stronger business results. RR: It really seems like you and the team have built an environment that you as a rep would’ve been like: “This is fantastic. I can go run and do my job and not spend time on the things that take me away from it.” I’d be curious to add onto that impact piece: What key results have you achieved beyond everything that we just covered off on (which was a lot!). What particular wins are you especially proud of? JJ: Yeah, so since we implemented Highspot in 2021—coming up on five years at this point—we’ve seen clear improvements in how our teams find, trust, and use the enablement resources that we’re able to provide for them. Like I’ve mentioned, the content is much easier to locate, adoption is stronger, and engagement is more consistent because reps know that they’re working from a single current source of truth. We’ve talked about most of them today, but the wins I’m especially proud of are the governance foundation we’ve put in place, the Spot architecture that balances the enterprise consistency with the business unit relevance, and then those solution-specific plays that help reps move from learning to preparing to engaging with their customers. Together, those changes have reduced friction for sellers, improved onboarding and readiness for new team members, and strengthened alignment across the organization. The most important thing with having Highspot as our sales enablement platform is that, before we adopted this tool, different versions of materials were just kind of floating around on people’s desktops and an old platform that we used to utilize in Teams channels and through inboxes. You never knew which one was the one that was most recently updated. “What should I be using? Has any of this messaging changed?” Now, there’s one place; I always pitch it to our reps as Cencora's Google. You just search in the search bar, whatever you’re looking for, and the first result that comes up is what you’re looking for. RR: I think it’s really important, that kind of domino effect that you touched on: “We did the work at the very beginning to make sure everything is accessible, to make sure it’s updated and to make sure it’s valuable to our reps and that they know it.” And now you’re seeing the entire progression from finding content to engaging buyers in a more meaningful, trusted way and creating more trusted relationships. So you’ve kind of built that flywheel. Now it’s just kind of spinning and maintaining, which is fantastic to hear. Last question for you: For leaders building similar enterprise-level enablement strategies in a similarly complex competitive environment, what hard-earned advice would you leave them with? JJ: My advice would be to start with the governance and the structure. Without a clear plan for how the content is created, organized, and maintained, it’s really easy for things to become chaotic, especially in a complex environment where multiple teams are involved. There’s lots of hands in the pot. Things get lost in translation. So governance and structure would be the starting point. Additionally, it is so important to always keep the end user in mind. Enablement is all about making the lives of your reps easier. Take the time to understand their needs and challenges so that you can create solutions for them. And finally, don’t underestimate the importance of analytics. Use the data to continuously refine your approach and demonstrate the impact of your efforts. Enablement is truly a journey. It’s not a destination, and the key is to stay agile and focused on delivering value both to the reps that you support and their customers. RR: That phrase there: Enablement is a journey is so important to hear because, to our audience who are all at different stages in the process, maybe you’re building, you’re just writing that enablement charter or maybe you’re just trying to run and optimize. Either way, I feel like you need to hear that because everything is constantly changing and you are constantly adapting. I think that’s a reassuring spot to end on, and I really appreciate you saying that. Beyond that, I really appreciate you joining us and sharing all of this wonderful experience. It’s been so amazing to step into the work that you’re doing and the impact that you’re driving for Cencora. JJ: Absolutely. I’m honored to be invited. I’m so grateful to be here. Thank you for the time and asking all these thoughtful questions. I hope that can help many other organizations out there.RR: To our listeners, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win/Win Podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

This week we're sharing the wild travel diaries from Zachariah's Big Back Behavior Tour. From Phoenix, Arizona to Los Angeles, El Cajon, and Seattle. We kick things off in Phoenix with an unexpected obsession: Circle K?! Ummm ever heard of her?? Don't worry, Jonathan took the world's worst pictures on his new digital camera. In LA, we stayed in Beverly Hills, drove by the Playboy Mansion, and hit the road from LA to El Cajon!! Then things took a serious turn in Seattle when a fan broke into our green room. PLEASE DO NOT EVER DO THAT! Heightened security measures are now in action. As if that wasn't enough, we got slammed by a winter storm, lost heat at home, and survived a San Diego to Boston flight that made an emergency landing in Philadelphia. Woof. It's a lot and we're getting into it all.This episode was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.Sponsors:➜ Go to BollAndBranch.com/camp to get up to 20% off, plus free shipping on your first set of sheets.

Sean and Varn tackle the important question regarding the release of the much-vaunted 'Epstein Files': which ones of 'our faves' might be implicated? How do we avoid the 'socialism of fools' after this and Gaza? What does the Epstein story tell us about the rot at the heart of our ruling class? What do the files tell us about the absolute state of barbarism we currently live in and must find some way to work ourselves out of?N.B. at one point in the main episode Sean, in reference to diversity within Judaism, mentions the Satmar Hasidic community in NYC but neglects to mention why he brought it up which is because they one of the main sects that rejects Zionism on religious principle.

The Knicks and Sixers matchup gets framed as a “regular season game that matters” for one reason: the standings. With New York sitting in the top tier and Philadelphia lurking a few games back, the outcome has real seeding implications, plus the tiebreaker is on the line. The crew debates how much home court should matter, whether the Knicks can still make a run from a lower seed, and why this specific head-to-head feels bigger than most. Then the conversation turns into a full takedown of the NBA's tanking culture. From blatant late-game lineup shenanigans to teams sitting capable players, the guys argue the league is watching “fake games” night after night. They throw out potential fixes, including flattening lottery odds for all non-playoff teams, and question whether Adam Silver can actually stop teams from gaming the system. The segment also pivots to Mets injury reality, as a caller shares firsthand experience with hamate surgery, prompting a discussion about timelines, rehab, and why comparing everyday recovery to a pro athlete can lead you down the wrong road.

America’s revolutionary war would have almost certainly been lost if not for the colony’s wealthiest merchant. Thomas Willing was a prominent Philadelphia merchant and financier who, in partnership with Robert Morris, operated one of the colonies' most successful importing and exporting firms, specializing in goods such as flour, lumber, tobacco, and sugar, while later using his wealth and mercantile connections to supply the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. After the War, he brought sanity to the unstable early American economy. America was suffocating under a massive, unmanageable national debt owed to foreign lenders, domestic soldiers, and creditors, and lacking the power to tax effectively under the Articles of Confederation. The currency situation was disastrous, with various state-issued paper monies having depreciated drastically—leading to inflation and a widespread lack of confidence in the financial stability of the new republic. Thomas Willing stabilized the nascent American economy by serving as the first president of both the Bank of North America and the First Bank of the United States, where his conservative fiscal leadership established the nation’s credit and transformed the central bank into the "great regulating wheel" of the country's financial system. Today’s guest is Richard Vague, author of “The Banker Who Made America: Thomas Willing and the Rise of the American Financial Aristocracy.” We discuss how Willing bankrolled–and in the process helped save–the American Revolution, and then shaped the financial architecture of our young Republic. So powerful was Willing that President John Adams complained that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton were governed by him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week, we talked with psychologist Leslie John about the costs of keeping secrets. Today, Leslie returns with a look at the psychological power of self-disclosure. She says the moments of oversharing that we often consider "TMI" can actually strengthen our relationships.

Psychologist Eli Finkel returns for the latest installment of our series "Your Questions Answered." Our next stops on Hidden Brain's live tour are just weeks away! Join Shankar for an evening of science and storytelling in Philadelphia on March 21 or New York City on March 25. He'll be sharing seven key psychological insights from his first decade hosting the show.
