In this community health episode, host Janet Michael dives into the pressing issue of heat stroke, featuring expert insights from Dr. Greg Byrd, who practices internal medicine at Valley Health Shenandoah Memorial Hospital MultiSpecialty Clinic. With heat waves becoming increasingly common, understanding how to prevent, recognize, and respond to heat stroke is more critical than ever. Dr. Byrd explains that heat stroke is a severe medical condition characterized by an elevated core body temperature and central nervous system dysfunction, which could manifest as confusion, delirium, or seizures. This condition is a true medical emergency with a high mortality rate. The body's natural cooling mechanisms—primarily blood vessel dilation and sweating—can become overwhelmed in high temperatures, especially when humidity is also high. There are two main types of heat stroke: exertional and non-exertional. Exertional heat stroke typically affects young, active individuals, such as athletes and military personnel engaged in intense physical activity. Non-exertional heat stroke primarily impacts the elderly, very young children, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic medical conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Certain medications and substances, such as alcohol and cocaine, can also increase the risk. To mitigate the risk, it's crucial to stay hydrated. Dr. Byrd emphasizes that men should consume about 3.7 liters of fluids daily, while women should aim for 2.7 liters. It's important to recognize the early signs of heat exhaustion, which can progress to heat stroke. The key is to monitor urine color; darker urine indicates dehydration. If someone shows symptoms of heat stroke, such as acting confused or delirious, immediate actions should be taken to cool them down and call 9-1-1. Dr. Byrd advises on several effective cooling techniques: immersing the person in a tub of ice and water, using cool mist fans, or placing ice packs on their body. If these resources are unavailable, even pouring cold beverages over them can help. Quick action can be lifesaving. Everyone, particularly those attending outdoor social events, should be aware of the dangers of heat stroke. Vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly, young children, and those with chronic illnesses, must be closely monitored. Social isolation can exacerbate risks, highlighting the importance of community vigilance. Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Preparedness and awareness can significantly reduce risks and save lives. As we continue to face extreme temperatures, being informed and proactive is our best defense. Dr. Byrd's expertise offers valuable guidance for staying safe and healthy in the heat.

I'll never forget the moment my co‑host Bruce Wehner shared a powerful story: Nelson told his wife, Mary, “I need to teach you how to be a widow.” That striking phrase stopped us in our tracks. It wasn't morbid—it was strategic. Nelson recognized that spouse financial preparedness is the cornerstone of true legacy planning. If your partner isn't prepared to manage finances when the unthinkable happens, your careful planning unravels—and unintentional burdens form. https://www.youtube.com/live/bVBMnWHGp1Y In today's fast-paced world, talking about money can be uncomfortable. But taking the time to ensure spouse financial preparedness isn't just responsible—it's transformative. As Rachel Marshall and Bruce Wehner, co-hosts of The Money Advantage Podcast, we're here to walk you through why preparing your spouse is crucial, and how to do it effectively. By reading this article, you'll discover: What “financial preparedness” truly means The critical pieces every spouse should know Practical tools we use with clients How to handle emotional differences in money habits A step-by-step framework to empower your spouse today Why Spouse Financial Preparedness MattersKey Areas for Spouse PreparednessIncome Plans—Now & ContingencyTaxes, Medicare & Social SecurityInsurance & ProtectionDigital Access & Password SharingEngaging Trusted AdvisorsThe LIFE Financial FrameworkManaging Emotional DifferencesTools & Rituals for PreparednessEquip Your Spouse. Protect Your Legacy.Book A Strategy Call Why Spouse Financial Preparedness Matters Bruce and I often see one partner “in the dark.” The hardworking spouse makes decisions—but the other may trust blindly, unaware of details. That puts them at risk—be it missing advisors' phone numbers, not understanding insurance coverage, or worse: being blindsided by critical decisions. One case Bruce shared involved a wife who thought their net worth was minor—only to discover $30 million after her spouse had passed. Imagine the emotional shock—and legal busyness. That's why spouse financial preparedness is a legacy necessity, not an optional extra. Key Areas for Spouse Preparedness To be truly ready, your spouse needs awareness and access across five areas: Income Plans—Now & Contingency Your spouse should understand both your current income strategy and what happens financially if one partner isn't there. Bruce calls it having a “backup income plan.” Ask: what if I retire early? What if one income stops? Taxes, Medicare & Social Security One spouse passing makes tax filing switch to “single,” which can raise Medicare Part B and D costs by up to $500/month. Understanding IRMA brackets and how Social Security survivor benefits work is vital. A spouse who knows the rules won't fall prey to unexpected costs. Insurance & Protection Life is unpredictable. Couples need clarity on life, health, disability, home, auto, liability—and how they work together. A clear policy keeps your spouse empowered and protected. Digital Access & Password Sharing In today's digital age, locked-out accounts are a nightmare. Did you know iPhone allows a “Legacy Contact”? A shared password vault ensures your partner can access bank, utilities, email—and even that mysterious password for your favorite travel site. Engaging Trusted Advisors Make sure your spouse knows and trusts your financial, legal, insurance, and tax advisors. Ideally, they attend meetings together or at least meet face-to-face. That ensures seamless transition—and peace of mind—should something happen. The LIFE Financial Framework Bruce and I use a powerful acronym—L.I.F.E.—to frame preparedness: Liquid: How much cash is needed within minutes for emergencies? Income: Do you want fixed guaranteed income to cover essentials, plus variable funds for lifestyle? Flexible: Which assets can be repositioned for other goals—travel, education, emergencies?

The NHS plans to set up mental health emergency departments throughout England. A survey discussed this episode highlights the importance of mental health assessments, finding that nearly a quarter of suicide deaths in a one year period had come after hospital or emergency department contact. Another survey raises the question, "How well is your ED prepared for a major incident?" and the statistics do not inspire confidence. Two more papers in this episode offer potential bulwarks against burnout of ED staff: global health outreach work, and self-rostered rotas. But there may be some downsides to watch out for too. Finally, a look at pulse oximetry for testicular torsion diagnosis. Read the highlights: July 2025 Primary Survey Contact with emergency departments and hospitals in England before suicide death: a retrospective cohort study Global health experience of staff working in UK emergency care: a reflexive thematic analysis A survey of major incident preparedness in English type 1 emergency departments In emergency settings, does the use of testicular pulse oximetry aid diagnosis of testicular torsions?

If you're like most people in the preparedness space, you've stocked food, secured water, and thought through the basics. But have you prepped for the silent AI-bomb that's already hitting your mindset? While you're focused on the obvious—natural disasters, supply chain collapses, power outages—AI is quietly working behind the scenes to manipulate what you believe,… The post How AI Is Rewiring You Without You Knowing It appeared first on Mind4Survival.

In this episode, we dive into the final sermon of Part I of Grace Church's Follow Me series. Why does Jesus send his disciples out in Matthew 10 with no money, no bag, and instructions to heal the sick and cast out demons? What does it mean to be given authority by Jesus? And how should we understand being “sent” in a world that feels overwhelming and broken? We tackle other topics like: – What does real spiritual authority look like? – Who are the “worthy people” Jesus talks about? – Should modern Christians expect to heal and cast out demons? – And… what does “shake the dust off your feet” mean for us today?

It's always wonderful to have him on the show. [3:32] He is here to remind us of the RIMS legislative priorities, how they were addressed during the RIMS Legislative Summit in March, and what else we can expect in the way of public policies that RIMS would like to prevent and those we'd like to support. [3:46] There are lots of links in this episode's notes, as well, including ones to RISK PAC and an upcoming fundraiser. Let's get to it! [3:54] Interview! Mark Prysock, welcome back to RIMScast! [4:14] RIMS's top legislative or advocacy priorities for 2025 include opposing legislation on taxing non-profit associations. RIMS is working with other associations on this. The tax would have a significant impact on RIMS. [5:26] Another issue is the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act, which would allow individuals to use college savings 529 plans to pay for certifications like the RIMS-CRMP. It's a very popular issue in the association community. [5:55] Third-party litigation funding has become a very big issue, followed by nuclear verdicts. What can we do to stop that? That's an issue that's been growing in both the House and the Senate. RIMS is working within a broad coalition to address that issue. [6:14] RIMS believes, at a bare minimum, there needs to be disclosures when third-party litigation funding agreements are in place so that everyone understands who stands to benefit from a nuclear verdict. It's not the plaintiff. [6:37] The last issue is the National Flood Insurance Program. [7:01] Mark and his team spent Day 1 of the RIMS Legislative Summit in March prepping the registrants so they understood the ins and outs of the issues. They all received one-page leave-behind documents to take to the Congressional offices. [7:18] Panellists had talked to them about the issues. The registrants were prepped to be lobbyists on these issues. [7:30] On Day 2, the registrants went to the Hill and lobbied on behalf of RIMS. [7:39] There were over 60 registrants this year. That was a RIMS Legislative Summit record. They had around 100 Congressional meetings, also a RIMS Legislative Summit record. [8:15] Mark says holding the event at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce building is fantastic. It's a classic D.C. building that everyone knows. It's fairly close to Capitol Hill. You can get all the speakers you want to come and meet with your group there. It's perfect for the Summit. [8:49] A couple of years ago was the first time the Summit met at the Chamber building. Going back this year confirmed that it's going to be the new location for the Summit. Mark says it was an enriching experience for the attendees. [9:33] The Summit lobbyists focus on committees in both the House and Senate with jurisdiction over insurance. [9:47] The House Financial Services Committee has a Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance. Most of the legislation the Summit is concerned about comes from the House. [10:04] That Subcommittee has a new Chair, Congressman Mike Flood from Nebraska. The Summit has made inroads with his office and with other offices, too. [10:28] The Summit's focus is on establishing relationships with newer Congressional offices that are in a position to impact RIMS's legislative priorities. [10:52] Mark says, typically when we meet with a Member of Congress, it might be that we're talking to them because they're well-situated to talk to us about NFIP. [11:02] On other issues, we don't know that they necessarily align with us, but we know that with what we're trying to accomplish with the NFIP, they are going to be a great ally. That's our foot in the door to discuss other legislative issues. [11:24] Marks says the Summit is looking to establish long-term relationships with Members of Congress and educate them on the importance of different issues. [11:58] The RIMS Public Policy Committee will continue hammering on these issues for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026. The tax issues are likely to be resolved in RIMS's favor in the Omnibus tax bill Congress is wrestling with now. [12:18] The One Big Beautiful Bill does not include language for imposing new taxes on non-profits, but it does include the language about liberalizing the use of College 529 plans, which RIMS supports. Mark thinks that it will be wrapped up soon. [12:39] NFIP has been reauthorized through September 30th, the end of the Federal Government's Fiscal Year. There is legislation out there to reauthorize it for a longer period. The RIMS Public Policy Committee is talking with Members of Congress about that. [12:57] Third-party litigation funding is an issue to keep working on for the next couple of years. [13:04] The RIMS Public Policy Committee will be working closely with the RISK PAC Trustees to figure out how they can help to raise more money for the PAC. They have some ideas for things to do at RISKWORLD 2026 in Philadelphia. [13:22] They have a fundraising event in Philadelphia in the middle of July. They'll be sending out Calendar invites to the RIMS membership. 2026 will be an election year, so they want to raise as much money as they can for RISK PAC and the right re-election campaigns. [14:02] At RIMS.org/advocacy, you can see that the RIMS Legislative Summit 2026 will be held from March 16th through 18th. Mark is more excited than ever for next year's Summit! It's an election year. They've got the details nailed down. They'll be at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. [14:53] They will have a hotel block nailed down soon. They'll start promoting this event far in advance. Mark your calendars, please! As you build your chapters next year, please include some money to send your Advocacy Ambassador to the Legislative Summit 2026 in March. [15:20] We've got the link in this episode's show notes and at RIMS.org/advocacy. You can reach out to Mark Prysock directly through his email address on the RIMS Advocacy page. Write to him if you have questions about what it takes to get there or how you can contribute. [15:43] As Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle walk into the studio, Justin thanks Mark Prysock for being on the show. [16:04] Plugs! The very first RIMS Texas Regional Conference will be held from August 4th through the 6th in San Antonio at the Henry B. González Convention Center. Public Registration is open.

Visit RIMSWesternRegional.com and register today. [17:31] Let's Get on with the Show! It is July 1st. We have reached the midpoint of 2025. On RIMScast, we like to take stock of the year in risk, so far. Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle are going to break it all down for us. [17:54] Morgan O'Rourke is the RIMS Senior Director of Content and Publications. Hilary Tuttle is the Managing Editor of RIMS Risk Management magazine. That's our flagship, at RMmagazine.com. [18:07] We will look back on the Q2 digital issue of RIMS Risk Management magazine and discuss some of the news and trends that have been driving the risk profession. We'll talk about tariffs, AI, and more. Let's get to it! [18:23] Interview! Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle, welcome back to RIMScast! [18:50] We are here to talk about the mid-point of 2025 in risk and what it has meant for the profession and the reporting on the profession. The Q2 digital issue of RIMS Risk Management magazine is now available. The link is on this page. [19:26] A big story from this quarter was tariff volatility. In April, Neil Hodge wrote a great article “How to Navigate the Volatile Tariff Landscape.” Many companies underestimate their exposure to tariffs through lower-tier suppliers. [20:06] Hilary says the number one tip is to map your exposure to tariffs via suppliers. Also, think about finished goods as well as what hypothetical future scenarios would mean. We've seen that tariffs are consistently volatile. Map different scenarios to see how they will play out. [20:43] In the article, Neil also mentions alternatives such as near-shoring, alternative suppliers, and technicalities about working within the system. Morgan mentions contract management. Another tip was tariff engineering by modifying your product design or where it's assembled. [21:35] Morgan shares an example. Converse All Stars have a layer of felt on the bottom, which classifies them as slippers, which have a lower tariff. They tweaked the product so it could be classified differently. Morgan just bought a new pair and saw the felt he had never noticed. [23:24] Morgan says certain auto imports may leave out features that would classify them as commercial vehicles, so they don't have a commercial vehicle duty. [24:08] Equipment that was bought before steel tariffs will be more expensive to repair after steel tariffs, and insurance that was in place before the tariffs may not cover the drastically more expensive repairs. This will affect heavy machinery. Revisit your insurance coverage. [25:06] Considering what major assets may be changing with tariff changes would be a helpful next step for people. Morgan refers to finding alternate suppliers or diversifying. If you're starting a new relationship with a supplier, tariffs need to be part of the contract conversation. [25:42] If tariffs are a risk you have not been accounting for in your supplier agreements, you may want to build more flexibility into future agreements.  [26:03] Justin mentions the 2025 hurricane season and accurate weather reporting. That relates to supply chain. Hilary includes replacement values, as materials cost more.  [26:33] Hilary wrote an article, “The 2025 Hurricane Season Outlook.” Hilary says it's interesting to tell similar stories every year in different ways. She looked at the outlook for this season and compared it to the results from last year. [27:35] She looked for the key trends that drove the results last year and that will impact this year. It's an outlook and also a strategic input. How does your organization need to adapt to this outlook? It's about seeing the overarching trends and figuring out how to act on them. [28:20] Hurricane Beryl came in the summer of 2024. It was one of the earliest major hurricanes to form. It reached Category 5 in 42 hours. What strategies should organizations take to address fast-developing storms? [28:43] Rapid intensification is a major trend with hurricanes. This is fueled by above-average ocean temperatures and other impacts of climate change. Storms are getting worse faster. The energy at the surface level contributes to faster-building hurricanes. Then there are trade winds. [29:09] It is a very big challenge for governments and private industry because you need to prepare much faster. You might only have a day of notice between a tropical storm and a Category 3 hurricane. [29:29] Preparedness is a state of being, not something you deal with if and when a storm arises. It needs to be a constant state of readiness. This year there have been significant budget cuts to NOAA and FEMA. This affects weather forecasting and the number of emergency staff. [30:22] Organizations need to understand that they need an increased amount of self-reliance. You cannot count on the cavalry coming. Preparedness means more than ever this year. [30:38] Morgan says it's less about coordinating with Federal agencies and more about making sure you have your ducks in a row. You may not have access to outside resources. You might be able to coordinate with other companies and organizations. Cooperation helps. [31:43] Hilary says, after last year, we saw with Hurricane Helene that some of these disasters are increasing and hitting in unpredictable areas that don't have the preparedness or the infrastructure because there is not a legacy sense of being at risk for hurricanes. [32:05] Preparedness is different in different regions. Taking an assessment, thinking about some of those scenarios is a strategic risk management issue that may need to shift in new ways. In some of those areas, you might not have local disaster resources because it has not been a risk. [32:38] Prepare by taking a realistic assessment of emergency resources on the ground, what has the historical risk been, and how that is shifting? [32:51] A Small Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [33:10] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in General Grants to support over 130 student-centred experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process is now open through July 30th, 2025. [33:30] General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. The link is in this interview's show notes. Be sure to visit the programs page of SpencerEd.org. [33:40] The Spencer 2025 Funding their Future Gala will be held Thursday, September 18th at the Cipriani 42nd Street in Manhattan, New York. This year's honoree is Tim Ryan, the U.S. President of Lockton, and we hope to have him here on RIMScast this summer. A link is in the show notes. [34:03] Let's Return to the Conclusion of My Interview with Morgan O'Rourke and Hilary Tuttle of RIMS Risk Management magazine! [34:55] Jennifer Post, one of the editors, wrote an article, “USDA Budget Cuts Present Food Safety Risks.” Budget cuts may increase the likelihood of an outbreak of foodborne diseases and compromise the USDA's ability to respond and notify consumers of an outbreak. [36:28] Hilary notes recent outbreaks with cucumbers and tomatoes, which have been deadlier than one might expect. The cucumber recall was for cucumbers that had been sold six weeks before. Hilary has never had a cucumber for more than two weeks. [37:11] Shifting responsibility to under-resourced states creates uneven safety standards. Private companies will have to incur some of the costs of testing and monitoring their food. Who is responsible for coordinating food safety between states or countries is a question mark.  [37:50] This is not a great solution. It's an area of uncertainty for now. It is likely to increase costs for individual companies. It also increases the risk exposure for companies that are distributing food that makes people sick, but they don't know it. [38:09] The number of people getting sick and the amount of money a company will lose balloon as a function of time and notice. There are a lot of components to this issue. [38:30] Hilary says we are also seeing some concern around whether some of the shifting standards are going to create different levels of safety in different types of products or from different regions. This shifts a lot of the burden onto the consumer and private companies. [38:42] Morgan adds that beyond the cuts to NOAA, FEMA, and the USDA, there are cuts to cybersecurity infrastructure with CISA. These cuts remove a level of oversight that people have come to rely on. The cuts push responsibility for risks further onto states and private industry. [39:26] Morgan says they were worried about the appetite for change in the government from the Trump administration. The administration is making changes. Some of the fallout is that it has changed the risk landscape regarding storm damage, food safety, cybersecurity, and more. [39:46] You may have to reassess your risks in the light of these cuts to Federal agencies. Hilary points out that the cuts are not fluff when you realize the functions these agencies have. [40:21] Hilary quotes a food safety professor from the article. “Oversight is not a bureaucratic formality; it's the invisible line between routine production and preventable tragedy.” Hilary thinks that quote applies across a number of the cuts that have been made. [40:39] The magazine has an article on AI called “Balancing Innovation and Compliance When Implementing AI.” Morgan reports that AI is all over the place now. The conversation has to involve implementation issues and liability risks. AI hallucinations and data security are issues. [42:03] You need to have a level of human intervention and involvement to be looking for things that you might have taken for granted are true, but that are problematic or make you liable for something. [42:17] Hilary says another big issue is that the technology is drastically outpacing regulation, safety measures, and best practices. You need to be asking, “What do we have a defensible business reason to do, and what are we putting in place to safeguard those?” [42:44] Some of the AI applications around hiring incur very real consequences in terms of human impact and regulatory impact. You may be dealing with serious employment fines or other things of that nature that regulators will catch up on. [43:06] AI systems are designed to please you. They are not designed to do the right thing or to make intelligent choices. They guide a user, and the user needs to guide them. Hilary compares using AI to riding an elephant. The elephant can go where it wants to go; you need to control it. [43:55] Hilary says that a lot of these AI engines perpetuate bias that the people who developed them may or may not have or may not realize that they have. A large company for a while only hired white men because those were the people who had been successfully hired in the past. [44:20] The content online that trains these models is the content that is published online. It requires a certain amount of privilege, experience, education, and life perspective. It doesn't draw on the body of human experience and knowledge for representative bodies. [44:49] You have to bring a certain diversity of experience, and also check those inputs with either people or other sources. Morgan talks about the feeling you might get that something like an email was written by an AI. The homogeneity starts to erode the quality of things. [45:27] Morgan has read that one of ChatGPT's quirks is that a lot of responses will have a “not this but that” structure. For instance, “It's not just soup, it's a meal!” Once you see it, you start to see it everywhere. Hilary says a giveaway is the use of inserted emojis. [46:32] Morgan and Hilary have been editing for quite a while. Morgan can identify who wrote a piece of writing by its style. If you get an email from someone with turns of phrase they would never use, you know it's AI. Losing track of what's going on is not to your advantage. [47:26] Having AI write an email is an example of something that just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should do it. Should you be working in an environment in which you don't know how to interact functionally with your coworkers, the length of an email? [48:13] Engineering prompts are one of the biggest skills people need to learn in working with AI. Prompt engineering is the most important component that Hilary had to struggle to learn in an AI course she took. It makes the biggest difference to AI being usable. Take a prompt class. [49:05] Justin shares an experience he had using AI to make an email response he had written much shorter and less defensive. It wasn't perfect, but it helped him to revise his message. [49:47] Hilary said that Justin gave a great example of prompt engineering. You want to tell it who the recipient is, who you are, and what your specific concern is to address. You can also ask it to explain the changes that it makes, so you learn how to write better emails next time. [50:43] Hilary urges caution on choosing the platform. ChatGPT is decent for writing because you can prime it. You can't prime Copilot, and she says a lot of the results are garbage.  [51:46] The Q2 edition of RIMS Risk Management magazine is online. All the articles are on the site as links and as part of the digital edition. [51:56] A reminder to the audience: RIMS Risk Management magazine is always seeking contributors and contributions, primarily from the risk profession. The topics that are important to you are the topics that are important to your colleagues. Get your voices out there! [52:37] A good submission answers two questions: Why this? And why now? Why should other people care about this issue? New regulations? New fines? A recent court case? Is there a nuance you are highlighting? Another question is, so what? What do you do about it? [53:28] Justin offers, How will the audience be able to do their job better based on the information you're telling them? Morgan comments that the idea is risk management. You want to get to the management part of it so your organization can do something about it. [53:58] Go to RMMagazine.com and see the Contribute button at the top.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin interviews Kyle Leng, Senior Compliance Officer at Airtower Networks, about the risks associated with buildings that lack strong wireless connectivity. These issues involve cellular, Wi-Fi, and public safety distributed antenna systems for first responders. Justin and Kyle discuss physical risks, but mainly the communication risks of not being able to call 911 or firefighters or police officers unable to radio out of the building. The discussion turns to IoT, and Kyle shares some of his experiences in bringing apartment buildings up to date with Wi-Fi and IoT, including scheduled technology security updates. Kyle speaks of the need to update stone buildings that block signals internally and deal with high-rises that block you from connecting to your cell tower.   Listen to learn more about updating wireless communication in your properties.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast. [:17] About this episode of RIMScast. Our topic is emergency preparedness and wireless availability and capability, with Kyle Leng of Airtower. We've got some critical insights for anyone experiencing hurricane season. [:45] RIMS-CRMP Workshops! Register by July 1st for the next RIMS-CRMP Virtual Workshop, which will be co-led by Parima.

[2:19] Mark your calendars for November 17th and 18th for the RIMS ERM Conference 2025 in Seattle, Washington. The agenda is being built. Soon, we will distribute a Call for Nominations for the ERM Award of Distinction. I'll update this episode's show notes when that link is ready. [2:42] Think about your organization's ERM program or one that you know of, and how it has generated value. We will have more on that in the coming weeks. [2:50] On with the show! Our guest today is Kyle Leng, the Senior Compliance Officer at Airtower Networks. Airtower is a wireless infrastructure provider. [3:00] Kyle is here to discuss how risk managers can play a pivotal role in building and upgrading wireless connectivity for their buildings and organizations. [3:10] We're also going to talk about some of the legislation in the U.S. that could have a national impact on wireless capability and emergency preparedness. Let's get to it! [3:20] Interview! Kyle Leng, welcome to RIMScast! [3:32] Kyle is the Senior Compliance Officer at Airtower Networks. His primary focus is working with local governing bodies to install either public safety radio systems for first responders, cellular systems, or Wi-Fi enhancement systems. [3:50] Kyle makes sure Airtower Networks is evergreen on the local requirements and expectations, and the latest security protocols for those systems. [4:00] Kyle has been at Airtower coming up on a decade, and in the public safety sector for eight years. He is in high demand at Airtower, internally and externally. [4:17] The Airtower HQ is in D.C. There are also satellite offices. Kyle lives in Maryland. [4:40] If your building lacks wireless connectivity, firefighters can't communicate on your property. This is code-mandated, so your occupancy for your property is in jeopardy, along with the lives of your tenants. [5:00] There is a risk associated with a lack of cell phone coverage. No one should be in an emergency and not be able to dial 911. It's terrifying. It's also a huge liability exposure. [5:15] Another vulnerability for first responder radio systems is that codes, requirements, and technology are constantly in flux. This is also true of cellular enhancement systems.  [5:31] The technology is updating and the requirements are changing, including Florida's SB 1190 and HB 1571, with retroactive enforcement for existing buildings. [5:52] Radio dead zones in apartment buildings are a major risk for first responders. Kyle uses an example of sister apartment buildings, with a fire spreading from one to the other, and the second building having no communication. [6:30] All these things are updating, evolving, and iterating. You might be looking at last year's requirements and be off base. [6:42] You may miss something valuable learned in the field through trial and error, that installing these systems or having certain security protocols makes a world of difference regarding the safety of the tenants and the first responders. [7:01] Kyle expects most of the U.S. will adopt legislation similar to Florida. Most of the country is watching Florida to see what works and what doesn't, planning to implement their own. [7:10] Retroactive enforcement, where older buildings are not grandfathered in, already exists in pockets around the country.  [8:07] Existing building mandates have been in the International Fire Code and the NFPA codes, which govern first responder radio systems, for a decade. [8:39] Florida is the first U.S. local authority to publish bills around these codes, including a timeline with retroactivity. They are moving to make buildings safer. [8:52] Kyle explains why Airtower Networks is excited by Florida's move. Communities become safer, and local heroes are safer while they're rescuing people. It's a tough undertaking. It takes a lot of resources and knowledge. There will be hiccups, and people will learn as they go. [9:25] Plug Time! The very first RIMS Texas Regional Conference will be held from August 4th through the 6th in San Antonio at the Henry B. González Convention Center. Public Registration is open. [9:39] Hotel cut-off for the discounted rate is available through July 7th. The full Conference Agenda is now live, so you can start planning your experience.

Visit RIMSWesternRegional.com and register today. [10:53] Let's Return to My Interview with Kyle Leng!  [11:07] The bulk of Airtower Networks' active projects are at active construction sites. There is inherent danger there. The whole team undergoes stringent safety training. They maintain all the relevant certifications to keep the team safe. They review those with the team leads weekly. [11:34] There is risk involved with the systems. If you install a bad cellular system, instead of helping, you're making that property and the surrounding area significantly more dangerous. The same thing with the firefighter radio systems. Doing that wrong is worse than not doing it at all. [12:04] It's high stakes, high risk, and you want to have expertise, going into it, because you can make the property significantly less safe and more of a liability for all parties if you do it wrong. [12:24] Kyle points out that a bad network and an obsolete network are the same. Airtower Networks has been getting a lot of new opportunities for rip-and-replace contracts to remove obsolete or poorly designed systems and replace them expertly with the latest technology. [12:54] How quickly something goes obsolete varies depending on the technology. You'll get more lifetime from a cellular system than a first responder radio system. Wi-Fi needs to be constantly updated. You need to have the latest security protocols and the latest technology. [13:17] Kyle says a lot of the systems they rip and replace in the public safety sector are in the five-to-ten-year range. They're not ancient. Often, it was a low-budget installation. Airtower Networks believes you need to go into a project with the right attitude and perspective. [13:47] The risk professionals listening should check for is when they had their systems installed. If they're coming up on that 10-year mark, they may need to reassess them. [14:00] Kyle tells how he discusses it with stakeholders. Picture someone you care about in the stairwell of a building, something scary happens, and they can't call 911. Then, police officers show up, and their radios don't work. This is incredibly dangerous and a huge liability. [14:23]  The various costs associated with upgrading those systems, getting them inspected, and having them be monitored, 24/7 to make sure there are no breaks in the coverage, are nothing compared to the risks and liability. The costs are 100% worth it, every time. [14:48] Public safety distributed antenna systems go by 17 different names across the country. They're radio systems inside your property with antennas in the ceiling. They increase the radio access for first responders in the building. Kyle's central focus is getting them into buildings. [15:50] Kyle speaks of an exciting season in his career. They turned a couple of sister apartment buildings in San Francisco into smart buildings. It was IoT everywhere. They learned a lot from working on those projects. [16:11] They worked with a software developer to build an app so that in every unit, tenants paid rent with their TV remotes and unlocked their doors with their phones. [16:29] In terms of security and risk management, they learned that a big part of these projects was keeping the networks segmented and isolated so no one had a backdoor to the Wi-Fi and keycard access. With IoT, you want the latest encryption and password security. [17:06] They learned you have to find great partners in the OEM space. You can find IoT components online, but are they safe? Find a partner that's invested long-term in their equipment, so when you install IoT devices, they will be guaranteed to be updated for years. [17:44] A Small Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [18:04] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in General Grants to support over 130 student-centred experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process is now open through July 30th, 2025. [18:24] General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. [18:28] Spencer's Risk Manager on Campus Program offers grants of up to $5,000 to universities and colleges in the United States and Canada to host a practicing risk manager on their campus for a one-to-three-day residency. [18:41] The Risk Manager on Campus program has been praised by both universities and risk managers as a rewarding educational experience for students and a chance to give back to the profession. The application deadline for 2026 is June 30th, 2025. Check the link in the notes. [19:00] Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [19:04] Let's Return to the Conclusion of My Interview with Kyle Leng! [19:22] Kyle always tries to exceed the code requirements and the local expectations for each building. There is also a project spec list, drafted by the property management, legal team, and insurance policyholders. [19:46] Kyle enjoys the conversation he has with the property stakeholders about the specifications. He enjoys getting to understand what their intentions are and seeing what he can learn from this type of property. [20:06] Kyle learns a lot through these conversations because the stakeholders are looking through a very different lens. Kyle's thinking about passing inspections, and that tenants can make 911 calls. [20:19] The stakeholders are considering every liability across the property and how to plug all the holes so that risk and liability are as limited as possible. Kyle finds there's almost always a win-win situation between the intentions and the happy outcome of a very safe building. [21:39] Kyle says government buildings in particular tend to have a lot of stonework, which essentially kills all RF signals; Wi-Fi, cellular, and public safety networks. In these government buildings, there is usually no coverage. There is no system to rip out and replace. [22:06] Healthcare tends to have an antiquated system. They had the funding to put in communication systems early on, which are now outdated. Airtower Networks has had some rip-and-replace in healthcare, but they focus on government facilities without coverage. [22:36] Kyle says local authorities tell him that when they go into the courthouse or city hall, they know they're not going to make a call or use a radio. That's terrifying. [22:57] Kyle says, in the industry, they refer to these government stone buildings as sort of Faraday cages. Cell service stops at the front door. There's no system in place to replace. [24:03] With the onset of the summer heat, fire risk increases. Storms and power outages are big risks in the summer. Summer is a big time for construction. If a high-rise building goes up between you and the cell tower, you lose coverage. You might need an amplification system. [25:09] If a high-rise with a leaky Wi-Fi system goes up next to your property, it could interfere with your IoT devices. There is an inherent risk for all radio coverage when a high-rise building goes up. You need to be prepared for it and have a watchful eye. Find out how to resolve risks.

What if the next terror attack on U.S. soil doesn't come from who you think it will? What if the fuse has already been lit—and the target is much closer to home than most people realize? We're standing at a moment that could spiral in any number of directions. And while most of us can't… The post Iran May Hit the U.S.—Here's How to Be Ready appeared first on Mind4Survival.

In this episode, we dive into why tactical thinking isn't just for the military or law enforcement—it's essential for civilians too. Using the real-world example of Gary Edwards, a citizen who stepped in to stop not one but two attempted carjackings in suburban Georgia, we explore how awareness, quick decision-making, and the right mindset can change the outcome of violent encounters. We also unpack the importance of learning tactics—not to play soldier, but to become harder to victimize. Superior tactics have always allowed smaller, less-equipped groups to overcome stronger opponents, and the same principles apply to everyday people facing real threats. Whether you carry a firearm or not, this episode is a wake-up call to sharpen your skills, train your mind, and stop relying on luck when danger comes calling.Resources:FM 3-21.8: The Infantry Platoon and SquadSupport the showGet Members Only Content when you upgrade to a premium membership on our Substack page.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/ru4JXKUa180About the Guest: Francisco Uriarte is Managing Partner at Connelly Capital, a Puerto Rico-based M&A advisory firm. With over 60 transactions completed and $800 million in closed deals, Uriarte combines operational experience as a former business owner with a deep understanding of sell-side representation, especially in the unique legal and cultural context of Puerto Rico. His firm operates across Latin America and the continental U.S., but remains rooted in his home market, guiding business owners through one of the most emotional and financially significant decisions of their lives.Summary: Francisco Uriarte didn't plan on becoming a mergers and acquisitions advisor—he lived it first. From running a cheese factory to building a supermarket chain, his hands-on entrepreneurial background shaped how he approaches dealmaking in Puerto Rico today. In this episode of How2Exit, Francisco takes us behind the curtain of buying and selling businesses in a unique legal and cultural environment. His firm, Connelly Capital, has completed over $800 million in transactions, specializing in helping sellers prepare the right way—mentally, financially, and operationally.Uriarte's experience-based wisdom turns the abstract into the actionable. This isn't theory. It's field-tested insight from someone who's sat in every seat of the table—buyer, seller, and advisor. If you're thinking about buying in Puerto Rico or just want to better understand the human and technical nuances of closing deals, this is one of the most practical and well-rounded episodes in the series.Key Takeaways:Seller psychology is everything – If the seller doesn't have a clear “Plan B” after the sale, they may subconsciously sabotage the deal.Pre-sale readiness is underrated – Many businesses, especially sub-$3M in revenue, don't keep formal books. That can make them unsellable.Quality of earnings is make or break – A clean, reliable QofE builds trust fast.

Listeners receive practical advice on home maintenance, insurance coverage, and disaster preparedness. Discovering Grayslake: Lessons in Restoration, Community, and Preparedness from McMahon Services In the heart of Grayslake, Illinois, family-owned businesses are the backbone of the community. In a recent episode of "Discovering Grayslake," the spotlight shone on McMahon Services—a company that has grown from humble beginnings into a trusted leader in restoration and cleaning services. Hosted at Agora Co-Working, the conversation with Tom McMahon and Hunter from McMahon Services offered a wealth of insights for homeowners, business owners, and anyone invested in the well-being of their community. This blog post distills the main themes and actionable advice from the episode, diving deep into the nuances of restoration, emergency preparedness, insurance, and the power of community involvement. Whether you're a Grayslake local or simply looking to safeguard your home, these expert tips will help you prepare for the unexpected and build stronger community ties. Table of Contents The McMahon Services Story: From Window Washing to Restoration Experts Tip 1: The Critical Importance of Rapid Response in Emergencies Tip 2: Why Homeowners Should Call Restoration Pros Before Insurance Tip 3: Proactive Home Maintenance to Prevent Disasters Tip 4: Understanding and Optimizing Your Insurance Coverage Tip 5: The Value of Community Involvement and Local Connections Tip 6: Empathy and Support During Times of Crisis Final Thoughts: Building Resilience and Community Spirit The McMahon Services Story: From Window Washing to Restoration Experts McMahon Services' journey began with Tom's grandfather, a Chicago fireman, who started the business by washing windows. Over the years, the company evolved—thanks in part to a pivotal connection with a local insurance agent—into a full-service restoration provider. Today, McMahon Services offers: Water damage restoration Fire and smoke cleanup Mold remediation Biohazard cleanup General cleaning and home improvement services With a staff of over 30 employees and a decade of service in Grayslake and Hainesville, McMahon Services is a testament to the power of adaptability, family values, and community engagement. Tip 1: The Critical Importance of Rapid Response in Emergencies Key Insight: In restoration, time is everything. The sooner professionals arrive, the better the outcome. Why It Matters: Water damage can escalate quickly, leading to mold growth and structural issues within hours. Fast action minimizes damage, reduces costs, and increases the likelihood of salvaging personal property. Actionable Advice: Choose a local provider:** McMahon Services' local ownership allows them to be on-site within an hour, a crucial advantage over larger, less nimble companies. Have emergency contacts ready:** Store the number of a trusted restoration company in your phone and on your fridge. Don't wait for insurance approval:** Immediate mitigation is often required by insurance policies and can prevent claim denials due to “neglect.” Expert Tip: Even if the water seems minor, hidden moisture can cause major problems. Professionals use specialized equipment to detect and dry out unseen water in walls and floors. Tip 2: Why Homeowners Should Call Restoration Pros Before Insurance Key Insight: Restoration experts can help you assess the situation and guide you on whether to file a claim. Why It Matters: Not all water or fire damage is covered by standard policies. Filing unnecessary claims can raise your premiums or result in denied coverage. Actionable Advice: Call restoration first:** Let professionals assess the damage and provide a ballpark estimate. Understand your policy:** Many homeowners are unaware of exclusions (e.g., sump pump failures, sewer backups). Get documentation:** Restoration companies can provide detailed reports and photos to support your claim if needed. Expert Tip: Ask your restoration provider to walk you through the insurance process—they often know what adjusters look for and can help you avoid common pitfalls. Tip 3: Proactive Home Maintenance to Prevent Disasters Key Insight: Many emergencies are preventable with regular maintenance and a little foresight. Why It Matters: Simple oversights, like not detaching hoses in winter, can lead to burst pipes and costly repairs. Sump pump failures are a leading cause of basement flooding. Actionable Advice: Winterize your home:** Detach hoses and shut off exterior hose bibs before freezing temperatures hit. Test your sump pump:** Pour water into the pit to ensure it activates. Consider a battery backup system for power outages. Inspect plumbing and appliances:** Regularly check for leaks, corrosion, and wear. Document your property:** Take photos of valuables and home improvements for insurance purposes. Expert Tip: Schedule seasonal maintenance reminders on your calendar. Prevention is always cheaper than restoration. Tip 4: Understanding and Optimizing Your Insurance Coverage Key Insight: Many homeowners are underinsured or lack the right endorsements for common disasters. Why It Matters: Rising home values and new building codes can leave you under-protected. Not all policies cover basement backups, sump pump failures, or detached structures. Actionable Advice: Review your policy annually:** Meet with your insurance agent to discuss changes in your home or coverage needs. Ask about endorsements:** Ensure you have coverage for water backup, mold, and other common risks. Update for renovations:** Any home improvement or addition should be reported to your insurer. Expert Tip: Keep a digital and physical copy of your policy and inventory list in a safe, accessible place. Tip 5: The Value of Community Involvement and Local Connections Key Insight: Being active in the community builds trust and ensures help is close at hand when disaster strikes. Why It Matters: Local businesses are more invested in the well-being of their neighbors. Community events foster relationships that can be invaluable in times of need. Actionable Advice: Support local businesses:** They're more likely to go the extra mile for their customers. Get involved:** Attend or volunteer at local events, parades, and clean-up days. Network:** Join local chambers of commerce or neighborhood groups to stay informed and connected. Expert Tip: Familiar faces in the community are more approachable during emergencies. Don't hesitate to reach out to those you've met at local events. Tip 6: Empathy and Support During Times of Crisis Key Insight: Restoration is about more than repairs—it's about helping people through some of their toughest moments. Why It Matters: Disasters are emotionally taxing; a compassionate approach makes a world of difference. Empathy builds lasting relationships and trust. Actionable Advice: Choose companies that care:** Look for service providers who emphasize empathy and support. Lean on your community:** Don't be afraid to ask for help or offer it to others in need. Practice kindness:** Small gestures—like checking on a neighbor after a storm—strengthen community bonds. Expert Tip: Restoration professionals often have resources and advice for coping with loss. Don't hesitate to ask for guidance beyond the technical repairs. Final Thoughts: Building Resilience and Community Spirit The story of McMahon Services is a reminder that resilience is built on preparation, relationships, and a willingness to help others. By taking proactive steps—maintaining your home, understanding your insurance, and connecting with your community—you can weather life's storms with greater confidence.

For two decades, Mike Baker operated in the shadows as a covert CIA operative, tracking global threats and gathering intelligence. Now, he's laying out the stark realities of modern espionage and national security—starting with China's long-game strategy to reshape the world order. Mike explains how intellectual property theft, infrastructure infiltration, and cyber warfare are being used to erode American influence. Dr. Phil presses Mike on the vulnerabilities most Americans don't realize exist—from power grids to data security—while exploring how businesses must rethink risk mitigation beyond traditional security measures. They break down the psychological tactics used in intelligence operations, the intersection of espionage and business strategy, and why critical thinking and preparedness are America's best line of defense. This episode isn't about fear—it's about awareness. Understanding these silent threats is the first step in protecting the future. Special thanks to our sponsors! Support the brands that support us!

When I talk to people and they ask what I do and I tell them I run a podcast I get three very common questions…. How do you make money doing that? What is your podcast about? What is it called? ` When I answer that third question with “The Survival Podcast”, it almost always starts a conversation that begins with some quite inaccurate assumptions by the person I am talking to.  Whether they are of a prepper mind set or not it tends to be the same angle.  “End of the world” type stuff.  I instantly shift into explaining … Continue reading →
