Podcasts about processing

Farm viability depends on much more than what happens in the field. While we often focus on production and farm management, many of the biggest challenges farmers face are shaped by what happens. After harvest: processing, packaging, distribution, and access to markets. As processing facilities and post-production industries become increasingly consolidated, primary producers are left with fewer options for where and how to sell their products. Not long ago, much of this work happened on farms or through small-scale enterprises in nearby towns. These local processing systems allowed farmers to capture more value, reach customers more directly, strengthen rural economies, and create meaningful employment close to home. In today's panel, we'll speak with farmers and small-scale processors who are keeping these local industries alive while finding new ways to make them viable in an era of mass production and industrial consolidation. Together, we'll explore practical opportunities for adding value to raw farm products, the real challenges of setting up micro-processing operations, and the lessons learned from people already doing it. We'll also look at how farmers can start their own processing enterprises or collaborate with others in their community to transform their products, diversify income, and rebuild more resilient local food economies.

Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Sharon Cryan, founder of FoodNerd, for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked pillars of children's health: not just what's in our food, but how it's made. Sharon shares her powerful origin story — born to a single mother with MS, watching chronic illness shape the world around her — and how that journey led her from law school to revolutionizing food manufacturing. Together, they unpack the truth about ultra-processed foods, the gap in processing transparency that even health-conscious parents miss, and why natural flavors aren't as safe as they sound. Sharon also breaks down FoodNerd's Cold Processing Nutrient Lock Technology, the critical first 1,000 days of a child's life, and why their products are specifically formulated for kids on the autistic spectrum. This one will change how you read a food label — and how you stock your pantry.-----Links & Resources:Follow Sharon on Instagram: @sharonrosecryan and @foodnerdincLearn more and shop FoodNerd Products: www.foodnerdinc.com-----Key Topics & Timestamps00:07 Sharon's Origin Story: Born Into Chronic Illness 00:11 The Health Inequality Nobody Was Talking About 00:13 From Wanting to Be a Doctor to Law School 00:16 The FDA Isn't Protecting You — The Food Manufacturer Is 00:23 How to Actually Read a Food Label 00:25 It's Not Just the Ingredients, It's the Processing 00:28 The Dirty Truth About Natural Flavors 00:32 FoodNerd's Cold Processing Nutrient Lock Technology Explained 00:38 The First 1,000 Days: The Most Critical Window of a Child's Life 00:48 Sulforaphane and Kids on the Autistic Spectrum-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocsFacebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs NetworkYoutube: The PX DocsFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Find a PX Doc Office near me: PX DOCS DirectoryTo watch Dr. Tony's 30 min Perfect Storm Webinar: Click Here

Kayleigh sits down with her former therapist, Hilary Waller, to reflect on the years they spent working together after Kayleigh's amniotic fluid embolism (AFE), birth trauma, and the life-altering experiences that followed. Together, they explore the therapeutic relationship, what healing actually looks like over time, and how trauma recovery often evolves from surviving to grieving to fully living again.This conversation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at therapy from both the client and therapist perspective. Hilary shares insights into trauma recovery, attachment, grief, identity, and the ways healing can continue long after the most acute pain has passed. It's an honest, thoughtful discussion about what it means to rebuild a life after trauma, and how relationships can become a powerful part of that process.In This Episode, We Discuss:

What if the thing keeping your content from landing isn't a missing strategy or the wrong platform, but the gap between how you actually communicate in real life and how you show up online? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Heather Sager, a high-performance coach for visionary and visible leaders who's got more than 1500 stages under her belt, to talk about why your voice is the most underrated asset in your business and what it takes to use it well. We get into what congruency actually means in your content, why short-form video is humbling even the most experienced speakers right now, and the concept Heather calls "creative atrophy", which is the subtle erosion happening in business owners who outsource their thinking to AI before they've done the work to clarify their own ideas. If you've been feeling like your content sounds flatter than it used to, or like you can't quite articulate the new direction your business is heading, this conversation will give you a much clearer picture of what's actually going on and what to do about it. Timeline Highlights [00:00] – Why I clicked on Heather's "I just told a bunch of business owners to take a dump" post and knew I had to have her on the show [03:01] – Heather's story of being a shy kid who became a person whose voice is her business [09:20] – The skill Heather didn't realize was unique until she'd spent years developing it [12:31] – Why questioning whether your stuff is good enough is the thing keeping you stuck [16:09] – Niche transformation and why it feels harder to talk about new offers than established ones [19:32] – The difference between processing, clarifying, and articulating your ideas [24:41] – Short-form video as the humbling moment for established experts [33:42] – Why looking stupid is part of the path to mastery on any new platform [42:48] – Heather on building a business where she's the same person backstage as on stage [51:08] – Creative atrophy and what happens when AI does the thinking your brain is supposed to do [55:11] – The skill that'll separate highly paid experts from the commoditized in the next five years Top Quotes from the Episode "Your voice is your business. You're already on stages all the time. The only question is whether you're using them on purpose." "If you don't even think your stuff is good, you can't expect anyone else to see you as an authority." "Processing your ideas, clarifying your ideas, and articulating your ideas aren't the same thing. Most people treat them like they are, and that's exactly why their messaging isn't landing." "Being good at speaking off the cuff isn't a personality trait. It's a skill that gets sharper with practice and dulls when you stop using it." "You've earned the right to skip the line, but business doesn't work that way. Every new platform asks you to be a humble beginner again." "When you let AI do the thinking your brain is supposed to be doing, the part of you that generates original ideas starts to atrophy. Six months later, you can't write an email without it." "The thing that'll separate the highly paid expert from the commoditized one over the next five years isn't output. It's the willingness to keep doing the hard creative work yourself." "Show up the way you talk. Get better at talking. The right people will recognize you faster than any polished version ever could."

#152: On today's episode, psychotherapist and founder of Therapy in the City,  joins the podcast for a conversation about what it actually means to heal.So many of us spend our lives chasing happiness while trying to avoid pain, but what if the very thing we're resisting is what allows us to experience the deepest joy?Aliza explains why healing isn't about becoming happy all the time, but about learning to embrace the full human experience. The girls unpack why discomfort isn't something to escape, why uncertainty is one of life's greatest teachers, and how letting go of control can completely transform the way we experience life. The girls get into:why pain is required for joywhy avoiding your emotions creates more sufferingprocessing your feelings instead of escaping themaccepting the full human experienceembracing life's dualitieswhy happiness isn't the goal of healingletting go of control and embracing uncertaintywhy some people naturally experience emotions more intenselythe Biosocial Theory and why mental health isn't always rooted in traumawhy you are not your thoughts, emotions, or past experiencesthe difference between your first thought and your second thought (more on rewiring the brain)why high achievers often struggle to feel their emotionsslowing down, stillness, and the power of the pauseunderstanding shame and where it stems fromwhat Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is and how it helps us healpsychology and spirituality... why healing requires bothredefining what true joy actually looks likedating, attachment styles, and choosing relationships that align with your values& MORE!This episode is for anyone who struggles to relinquish control, finds themselves in patterns of emotional avoidance, or is constantly chasing happiness while resisting pain. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by uncertainty, uncomfortable emotions, or the inevitable ups and downs of life, this conversation will completely reframe what healing actually looks like. Because true joy isn't found in avoiding pain... it's found in learning how to hold both.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Introduction01:09 – What actually brings people to therapy?04:49 – Feeling emotions deeply and learning how to process them05:53 – The Biosocial Theory: Why some people feel emotions more intensely07:03 – Healing isn't only for people with trauma08:04 – You are not your thoughts, emotions, or past experiences09:38 – Stop trying to control what you can't control10:39 – Why healing is about beginning again13:29 – Learning to embrace uncertainty16:48 – Why happiness isn't the destination17:19 – Why pain is required for joy18:05 – Emotional avoidance: Why avoiding your feelings creates more suffering20:26 – You can be self-aware and still be emotionally unavailable21:40 – Logic vs. emotion: Learning to actually feel23:01 – The science behind emotions and slowing them down24:11 – The healing power of the pause, silence, and stillness27:01 – Shame, secrecy, and why they always go together27:48 – What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?34:40 – Becoming comfortable with life's ambiguity36:15 – Psychology, spirituality, and trusting something bigger than yourself37:25 – The three things anxiety usually comes back to38:42 – Why external achievement can never replace internal healing40:27 – What is joy, really?48:21 – Dating, attachment, and choosing relationships that align with your valuesCONNECT BELOW:Follow Aliza hereVisit Therapy in the City hereCONNECT WITH HAN:follow Han ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow HOW I SEE IT ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow Han on Substack ⁠here⁠watch HOW I SEE IT on YouTube ⁠here⁠shop the podcast merch ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠work with Han: howhanseesit@gmail.com

In this episode of Power Current, host Chris Berry sits down with Flemming Bjørnslev of Aquatech to explore one of the biggest challenges facing the global rare earth industry: processing. Flemming explains why the future of Western rare earth supply chains depends not only on discovering new deposits, but on building the technical expertise to separate, refine, and produce high-purity materials at commercial scale. The conversation covers the growing role of water management, solvent extraction, zero-liquid discharge systems, and integrated process design in creating bankable rare earth projects across North America, Latin America, Australia, and beyond. Chris and Flemming also discuss the geopolitical forces reshaping critical mineral supply chains, the rise of clay-hosted rare earth deposits, and why early technical partnerships are becoming essential for successful project development. Whether you're interested in rare earths, critical minerals, or the technologies enabling the energy transition, this episode offers a timely look at one of the industry's most important bottlenecks.

Have you ever left a church situation feeling like you couldn't quite shake it — even after time passed?In this episode, Jill sits down with a panel of three women who have all experienced some form of church hurt. But this conversation isn't about who was right or wrong. It's about what was happening inside them — the grief, the rejection, the slow shift from hurt to resentment — and what it actually took to process it without becoming someone they didn't want to be.These women are honest. One stayed at her church. One left. One was in leadership when everything fell apart. Their stories are different, but the inner work they each had to do looks more similar than you'd expect. If you've ever sat in a church pew watching someone through narrowed eyes, replaying a conversation you can't let go of, or felt like you left a church but carried it with you anyway — this episode is for you.In This Episode • What it looks like when hurt quietly shifts into seeing someone as an adversary • How three women processed church hurt in very different circumstances • Why staying and leaving can both leave things unresolved • What it means to reconcile your own heart when the other party won't • The role of community, counseling, and intentional inner work in healing • How church hurt can shape the way you trust, lead, and show up — without you realizing itKey Takeaways • You can leave a church without leaving the experience — healing requires intentional work either way • Forgiveness is a choice that doesn't require an apology to begin • The question isn't just what happened to you, but who you're becoming as a result • Processing hurt in community — not alone — makes a real difference • The pain doesn't have to write your story; God can redeem it if you let himSeries Note: This is part 3 of the Church Hurt series. Next week, the series closes with a look at the story of David and Absalom — and what it reveals about what happens when pain goes unprocessed.Keywords: church hurt healing, Christian women podcast, processing church trauma, forgiveness in the church, emotional health faith, leaving a church, church conflict recovery CLICK HERE to learn more and join me for Wholehearted live virtual workshop June 27, 10-1 pm CT.  Come by yourself or register with the women in your world. Discover ways to work with me at www.thehappiestlives.com or www.myhappyvault.comQuestions?

Welcome, Massimo Banzi of SuperModerno and co-founder of Arduino Introduction and SuperModerno: Massimo introduces himself as a “friendly nerd” and discusses his new project, SuperModerno The project aims to explain the “behind the scenes” of technology to prevent people from becoming “slaves to the platform” The History of Technology: Massimo expresses his passion for technology’s history, emphasizing non-American innovators to show Europeans they can also lead in technology, citing the UK-based origins of the Arm processor The Legacy of Olivetti: He highlights Olivetti (founded in 1908), which moved from typewriters to creating the Programma 101, the first desktop computer used by NASA to compute orbits for the Apollo program Design as a Differentiator: Olivetti was the first tech company to apply design to everything (products, posters, and architecture) This inspired Massimo's concept of the “invisible touch”, the idea that consistent, intentional design creates a unique connection with users and gives a company a competitive edge The Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII): Massimo’s path led him to IDII, located in the former Olivetti research building, where he transitioned from a two-week sabbatical to a four-year stay Learning by Making: To help students with no electronics background, Massimo drew on how he learned as a seven-year-old (“learning by making”) to remove the friction of interacting with technology The Founding Team: He met Tom Igoe (ITP) and David Cuartielles, and they realized students were afraid to be creative because they feared “blowing up” expensive tools like the Basic Stamp The “Pizza and a Beer” Price Point: Massimo aimed for a hardware cost of 20 Euros, roughly what a student would spend on a pizza and a beer, to encourage experimentation Building the Platform: Along with David Mellis, the team adapted Processing (a language for artists) by “surgically” replacing Java with C++ to create the Arduino IDE Ivrea Manufacturing: Leveraging the industrial base of Ivrea and Torino (the “Detroit of Italy”), Massimo was able to find local PCB manufacturers and assemblers just a short drive away From Hacking to AVR: Massimo's early work involved hacking satellite TV PIC chips for soccer fans, but mentor Bill Verplank encouraged him to use AVR microcontrollers because they could be programmed simply in C Enabling Creators: Massimo shares stories of how Arduino enabled others, such as Josef Prusa, who started with Arduino as a teenager before building his global open-source 3D printer company The Innovation of Simplicity: Massimo argues that Arduino’s true innovation is the user experience This is measured by the “Time to First Blink”, the goal for a user to go from downloading software to blinking an LED in five minutes Standardization and “The Core”: Arduino became an ad-hoc standard by providing a compatibility layer across different microcontrollers Massimo believes in having a “small slice of a really large pie” by allowing other architectures to work within the ecosystem Hardware Architecture and the “Lasagna”: Inspired by the PC104 format, the board uses a layered approach where modules stack like a lasagna The “Shield of a King”: The name Arduino comes from King Arduino of Ivrea; David Cuartielles suggested that since the board was named after a king, the add-on modules should be called “Shields” Hardware Design Choices: The board fits a credit card size (to stay within the free version of Eagle software) and is blue because that color was thought to be less tiring for workers’ eyes Happy Accidents: The unique shape was chosen to be “ourselves instead of everyone else” During the design process, Massimo inadvertently moved a connector by half a step, creating an offset header that they kept for consistency after the first few thousand were made The Discovery of Auto-Reset: During a workshop in Germany, Massimo solved the frustration of manual resets by soldering a capacitor to the DTR pin, allowing the software to trigger the reset automatically The US Market and Legal Battles: Tom Igoe's adoption of Arduino at NYU helped the US become the project’s single biggest market This growth led to a difficult legal battle for control of the brand against a former partner Support from Arm: Massimo credits Arm Ltd (and CEO Simon Segars) for providing the strategic support that allowed the founders to regain control of the company. Massimo believes this is the first time he has talked about the role of Arm in the difficult legal process. Industrial and AI Expansion: Partnerships with Intel and Microsoft (Windows 10 IoT) led to early forays into TinyML (AI on small boards) back in 2017 The Qualcomm Acquisition: In October 2025, Qualcomm acquired Arduino, which Massimo sees as essential for bringing “advanced silicon” into the family to handle the increasing complexity of technology The “Arduino Formula” and Layering: Massimo views Arduino as a formula for simplification that can be applied to anything, including complex Linux machines like the Uno Q This is achieved by building in layers, where beginners use high-level abstractions and experts can “strip away” layers to reach the bare metal The Future Vision: Massimo looks forward to the “Arduino Formula” being applied to new fields, stating he is waiting for someone to develop an “Arduino for biology” using CRISPR and DNA technology

Solar panels in remote across a country. Security cameras at retail stores. IoT sensors across factory floors. And moving that data to the cloud for processing? It's expensive, slow, and often restricted by compliance.David is an expert when it comes to solving distribution problems. He led Kubernetes product at Google, co-founded Kubeflow to bring ML to production, and now he's building Expanso to tackle a difficult constraint: when your data can't move, how do you process it where it lives?We discuss:- The need for distributed data orchestration-Upstream data control: filtering and transforming at the source- Three forces making edge computing inevitable (physics, regulations, economics)- How to build successful open source infrastructure projects- Customer discovery and finding real pain points- His transition from Protocol Labs to founding Expanso- ETL pipelines: moving the first four steps closer to the data- Context loss and lineage in distributed systems- Processing 400,000 signals per second with 150MB agents- AI observability: attaching source metadata to training data- Running ML pipelines at the edge- Real-world deployment challenges (bandwidth, regulations, cost)Expanso is rethinking how we process data in an AI-native world—moving compute to data instead of data to compute. If you want to understand where distributed systems and edge computing are heading, this is a deep dive into the infrastructure layer beneath modern AI applications.General Podcast LinksWatch: https://www.youtube.com/@alexa_griffith Read: https://alexasinput.substack.com/ Listen: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/alexagriffith/ More: https://linktr.ee/alexagriffithLearn more about the host atWebsite: https://alexagriffith.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexa-griffith/Find out more about the guest atLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aronchick/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/aronchick GitHub: https://github.com/aronchick Expanso Website: https://expanso.io/ResourcesExpanso Website: https://expanso.io/ Kubernetes: https://kubernetes.io/ Kubeflow: https://www.kubeflow.org/ CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation): https://www.cncf.io/ Protocol Labs: https://protocol.ai/KeywordsDavid Aronchick, Expanso, Kubernetes, Kubeflow, distributed systems, edge computing, data pipelines, ETL, upstream data control, Google Kubernetes Engine, open source, CNCF, observability, log processing, data lineage, provenance, schema enforcement, IoT, edge AI, distributed data, machine learning infrastructure, Protocol Labs, IPFS, Filecoin, data governance, compliance, GDPR, bandwidth optimization, data aggregation, AI infrastructure, multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, real-time processing

HT2651 - Processing Delta In mathematics and statistics, delta is the measure of change. Strangely enough, I find this a useful concept in processing my photographic artwork. What is the delta (change) required between the scene captured and the artwork I envision? My role as a creator changes dramatically depending on the delta between the image capture by the camera and the finished photograph.

In this heartfelt episode, Kirsten shares the story of her unexpected twin pregnancy, a sudden placental abruption at just 27 weeks, and the terrifying emergency C-section that changed everything in a matter of minutes. Far from home and under general anesthesia, Kirsten woke up to a reality she never imagined: two extremely premature babies fighting for their lives in the NICU.Kirsten opens up about the grief, fear, and disconnection she experienced during those early days, as well as the challenges of navigating a lengthy NICU stay. She also shares how family support, community, faith, and time helped her process the trauma and begin healing. This episode is a powerful reminder that grief and gratitude can exist side by side, and that healing doesn't require forgetting what happened.In This Episode, We Discuss:

What if one of agriculture's most controversial “waste problems” is actually its most overlooked opportunity? Daniel Carson is an entrepreneur based in New Zealand, who wants to transform the beef industry from the ground up by directly addressing the challenge of what happens to non-replacement dairy calves. Through his startup, Miti, Daniel is building a new model that grows these calves into “young beef” and turns them into value-added protein products. But the product itself is only part of the story. It's also a demonstration of a new production and supply chain system that's designed to better align with global demand for lean protein and lower emissions. Daniel explains how this system leverages existing biological advantages from fast-growing dairy animals, built-in traceability, and shorter production cycles, to create a lower-emissions protein source. But despite strong fundamentals at the farm level, scaling the model runs into a familiar agtech barrier: the cost of infrastructure. Processing systems, supply chains, and industry incentives are all designed around large, premium carcasses. Therefore, to truly unlock the value potential Daniel believes in, some well-established systems would need to be challenged.  Daniel and Sarah discuss: Why “waste streams” like bobby calves represent a major untapped protein opportunity How the cost of infrastructure, like processing systems, constrains innovation in agriculture Why lean protein, not premium cuts, is the most constrained global beef category How emissions, traceability, and data could reshape value in red meat supply chains The challenge of driving system change when incumbents are incentivized to maintain the status quo Useful Links: Mīti Turns Dairy Challenge into Award Winning Innovation - Gardiner Foundation Miti founder 'blown away' by winning innovation award Supplying sustainable beef to McDonalds - Tenacious Ventures Tackling enteric emissions series - Tenacious Ventures

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Zach, a DeepClean graduate, to discuss his journey from a lifelong struggle with pornography to lasting recovery and deeper personal growth. Zach shares how accidental exposure in childhood led to years of secrecy, shame, and repeated relapses despite pursuing counseling, accountability, and 12-step recovery. He reflects on the difficult process of rebuilding trust in his marriage, confronting the fear of being fully known, and recognizing that true recovery involves transformation of the heart, not just behavior change. Together, they explore key shifts that accelerated Zach's progress, including understanding the beliefs beneath addictive behaviors, addressing unmet emotional needs, and developing greater emotional awareness. The conversation highlights practical tools such as journaling, breathwork, and honest connection with God, as well as the role these practices have played in strengthening Zach's relationships, faith, and confidence as he prepares to become a father. Zach also shares how learning to identify lies, embrace vulnerability, and take consistent action helped him achieve nearly 10 months of freedom and build a healthier, more intentional life.   SATHIYA'S RESOURCES: Free Recovery Book (The Last Relapse) Join the brotherhood (DeepClean Inner Circle) Live Training To Quit Porn For Good Timestamps 00:00 – Meet Zach: Marriage, fatherhood on the horizon, and his background 01:01 – Early exposure to pornography and the beginning of a 20-year struggle 03:04 – The podcast insight that changed everything: freedom and character formation 03:38 – Coming clean to his wife and the impact on their marriage 08:03 – Finding support through friends, church community, and accountability 08:38 – Exploring DeepClean and taking the next step 09:09 – Previous recovery attempts: therapy, 12-step groups, and phone restrictions 10:16 – Why willpower and understanding the “why” weren't enough 11:23 – The belief shift that transformed his recovery journey 13:04 – How journaling uncovered hidden stress, anxiety, and overwhelm 13:38 – Using breathwork to regulate emotions and reconnect with himself 14:09 – Meeting emotional needs through connection with God 14:39 – Repenting of underlying beliefs, not just behaviors 16:17 – Integrating faith into breathwork and daily emotional health 18:31 – Replacing feelings of rejection with God's truth and love 21:14 – Processing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and fear of failure 22:49 – How intentionality transformed friendships and relationships 24:01 – Preparing for fatherhood while overcoming insecurity and fear 26:10 – Applying recovery skills after the program ended 27:13 – Learning emotional skills he never developed growing up 27:47 – Celebrating 10 months free from pornography 30:32 – Advice for men considering their next recovery step 31:39 – Why addiction recovery requires guidance, structure, and support

Submissions can feel like a scavenger hunt: PDFs in one place, schedules in another, critical details buried in an email thread, and a clock ticking while you try to meet client expectations. We wanted to dig into what actually helps, not another tool that creates more work. So we sat down with Leah Herman, product manager for CRC's Ready Intel, to talk about how AI-driven insights and automation are reshaping the insurance submission and placement process for retail agents and CRC brokers.We break down what REDY Intel is at a practical level: an intelligence layer embedded across the CRC REDY platform that powers automated clearance, submission data extraction, Risk Insights, and Market Insights. We also get specific about what “data extraction” really means, including pulling underwriting fields like payroll, gross sales, vehicle schedules, and construction details, helping reduce missed information and the endless back-and-forth that slows quotes and binding.Then we go beyond speed. Risk Insights turns extracted fields plus context from the submission email into a summarized risk snapshot, giving brokers a head start on understanding exposures and identifying what is missing. Market Insights adds another layer by analyzing placement trends and carrier appetite to recommend better carrier matches, helping you market smarter and set clearer timelines with clients. Throughout, we come back to the same principle: technology should enhance relationships and specialty knowledge, not replace them.If you want faster clearance, stronger submission quality, and more data-driven placement decisions, listen now.  Visit REDYIndex.com for critical pricing analysis and a snapshot of the marketplace.Do you want to take your career to the next level?

The latest episode of the Center for Immigration Studies podcast examines a recent U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) memo emphasizing that adjustment of status - the process allowing certain aliens, either temporary visa holders or unlawfully present, who are eligible for permanent residence to obtain it without leaving the United States - is a discretionary benefit and not a guaranteed alternative to consular processing abroad.The discussion between Senior Legal Fellow George Fishman and Director of Policy Studies Jessica Vaughan is accompanied by a new report and a policy blog on the subject.Among the key findings:Congress created adjustment of status under section 245 of the new Immigration and Nationality Act in 1952 largely to eliminate the need for temporary visa holders already in the United States to travel outside the U.S. for immigrant visa processing to permanent status.In FY2023, which is the most recent year for which statistics on adjustment of status admissions are available, the number of adjustments was 608,260 out of 1,172,910 total immigrant admissions, or 52 percent. Of these adjustments, by far the largest share were in the category of Immediate Relatives (315,830). In contrast, in 2023 only 146,880 people adjusted in all the employment categories combined, although this represented 75 percent of all employment LPR admissions.The policy change is expected to have its greatest impact on certain family-based applicants, including some who overstayed visas, violated the terms of admission, or entered illegally and received parole.While USCIS has broad discretion in adjustment decisions, courts have held that such discretion is not unlimited and may be reviewed for abuse of discretion.Existing legal precedent does not clearly support treating the mere act of seeking adjustment of status as a negative factor weighing against an applicant.USCIS has indicated that it may exercise discretion and offer some applicants the opportunity to adjust if it is in the national interest, such as in the case of applicants with meaningful employment or for humanitarian considerations.Fishman's report concludes that the legal significance of the directive will depend on how USCIS implements it in practice. If denial rates rise substantially or applications are denied absent meaningful adverse factors, litigation challenging those decisions is likely to follow (if federal courts allow legal challenges to adjustment denials outside of removal proceedings).Vaughan argues that the policy could strengthen the integrity of the immigration system as overstayers and parolees will no longer apply for fear of being caught for extended unlawful presence.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestsJessica Vaughan is the Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.George Fishman is a Senior Legal Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.LinksUSCIS Upends the Status Quo for Adjustment of StatusUSCIS Blocks Green Card Shortcut for Overstayers and ParoleesIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

We're back with Episode 59 and I am running on fumes. We processed four hogs this past weekend — start to finish, ourselves, no abattoir — and walked away with 600 lbs of high quality pork. 17-hour day. Worth every minute. If you eat meat, you owe it to yourself to understand where it comes from and be part of that process at least once. Circle of life, man.Greg and I also catch up on a full week into our new training split. Legs were brutal — 70,000 lbs of volume — and I'm still feeling it. We break down what's working, what we tweaked on chest day, and why I think this split might carry me all the way into prep for Worlds next November.Then we get into the Enhanced Games happening in Las Vegas. No drug testing, no banned substances — just whatever you want to pump into yourself. I get it, I understand why it exists, but it's a slippery slope. We also talk about the 23-year-old Brazilian bodybuilder who just passed away from hypoglycemia linked to exogenous insulin. It's a sobering reminder of where that road can lead.And to top it all off — I'm doing the sardine fast. Five days, 18 cans a day, iso-caloric at 3,000 calories. Got bloodwork done beforehand, CGM and continuous ketone monitor going, and we'll see what actually changes.

“My life would still be beautiful even if I never had children.” Topics Discussed • The emotional death grip many women hold during infertility • Why fear of not having children creates nervous system tension • My personal fertility journey including failed IVF and miscarriage • The moment that shifted my relationship with motherhood • Why letting go does not mean giving up on having a child • The role of fear, identity, and control in the fertility journey • How emotional attachment can impact the body and nervous system • A powerful meditation to release fear around fertility outcomes Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be. Today's episode is a vulnerable one because we are talking about one of the hardest truths many women on the fertility journey cannot even say out loud. What if life could still be beautiful even if you never had children? For many women struggling with infertility, the journey slowly becomes a death grip. Every decision feels like it determines your future, every month carries the weight of hope and disappointment, and life begins to revolve around one single outcome. I know this deeply because I lived it myself during my own years of infertility, failed IVF cycles, and miscarriage. In this episode I share the quiet moment that shifted everything for me. A realization that my life would still have meaning even if motherhood never happened. Not because I stopped wanting a family, but because loosening that grip allowed my body and mind to finally breathe again. We also walk through a powerful meditation inspired by a Psych-K balance that explores both the best case and worst case life scenarios without children. Facing those fears can release the emotional tension that keeps so many women stuck in overdoing, overthinking, and constant urgency on their fertility journey. “When your entire life revolves around fertility, you quietly enter what I call infertility hell.” 02:51 The death grip many women hold during infertility 04:17 How control patterns followed me into motherhood and business 05:13 The quiet moment that shifted my fertility journey 06:51 Why many women cannot say life would be okay without children 08:05 Releasing fear and loosening attachment to outcomes 10:02 The truth about physical healing and cellular health 11:30 Introducing the meditation inspired by birth and death balances 13:25 Preparing yourself emotionally before the meditation 17:04 Activating the thymus center 19:18 Activating the hara point 21:49 Connecting the thymus center and the hara point 24:39 Remembering when the desire for a child first began 27:54 Observing your fertility journey to the present moment 31:17 Imagining the best possible life without children 35:05 Facing the deepest fears about not having children 39:24 Returning to the present moment 43:49 Processing emotions after the meditation 45:45 Integration and emotional release after the exercise Full Transcript on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/hardest-truth-i-faced-during-infertility-not-having-children-how-i-let-go-to-get-pregnant-naturally Let's Do This Together

In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with Conor Moules, founder and CEO of Barespace, the company building a true operating system for hair and beauty salons. Conor's journey is anything but traditional. He left school at 16 to become a hairdresser, moved to Australia during the recession, found his way into door-to-door sales, then business intelligence, location intelligence, and eventually the Irish startup world through Bamboo. After helping turn Bamboo around during Covid, Conor used that hard-earned reputation to unlock the next chapter: Barespace. What started as a deep understanding of salon life has become a fast-growing software company solving one of the industry's biggest problems: salon owners are expected to be creative experts, managers, marketers, employers, finance teams and operators - all while still working on the floor. Barespace was built to change that. In this conversation, Conor shares how he and co-founder Glenn Baker profiled 173 salons, raised €750,000 from the very customers they wanted to serve, and went on to raise almost €4.9 million in total.

Although these chemicals are a necessary part of our jobs, updated monitoring standards and emerging technology can help protect us from their long-term effects. In episode 151, host Casey Czarnowski speaks with Alex Hilliker of ChemDAQ about the increased emphasis on short-term exposure monitoring. Hilliker discusses the evolving landscape of standards and regulations worldwide and how the implementation of short-term exposure limits (STELs) follows global trends and increases the culture of safety in our departments. He advocates for changing not just the way we think about chemical exposure but also “the measures we take every day to protect our teams and verify compliance.” Listen and learn more.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Liz Crandall, a former US Forest Service field ranger who was fired by DOGE last February and has since transitioned into advocacy, activism, and podcasting, serving as the host of Rangers of the Lost Park.  In this one, Liz walks us through nine years of climbing the federal government's career ladder, from GS3 volunteer to permanent employee, and what it actually felt like to receive the phone call telling her it was over. She breaks down the DOGE firing process, the spam-looking emails that nobody believed were real, the Fork in the Road offer that most people didn't take, and what it looked like inside a Forest Service office where even the people who voted for the administration were crying. She also shares what it took to go from a person who was trained never to talk to the press to someone doing live CNN, the roadless rule and why she thinks rescinding it is a bad idea, her crown jewel podcast guest Ken Burns, and two pants-shitting stories from her hitchhiking days that she's been dreading telling us since she booked this. We wrap the show with hikers who discovered human remains in Vermont, the celebrity names we can never remember, how I butchered the boy who cried wolf, the triple crown of the worst gifts to give your kids, and an ALL TIME listener email and poop story.

Even the best systems have moments when things go wrong. What matters most is how we respond. In the Season 19 finale of Sterile Processing 101, Jen Parrott returns to discuss what happens when things go wrong like wet packs, missing instruments, failed indicators, delays, and breakdowns in the process.  This episode is a powerful reminder that solving problems requires more than urgency. It requires communication, accountability, and a culture focused on improvement instead of blame. Because when the OR and SPD work together, setbacks become opportunities to build safer systems for every patient. Don't miss the final episode of Season 19!   #operatingroom #ornurse #sterileprocessing #scrubtech

In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I opened up about one of the hardest weeks I've had in a long time, sharing how deeply shaken I was by the tragic loss of a young girl in my daughter's community and the unexpected passing of a beloved member of my design team who brought so much warmth and dedication to our company. As I tried to process grief, exhaustion, and the emotional weight of supporting my family and business during a difficult season, I also reflected on the challenges of balancing an overwhelming workload with meaningful client projects that reconnect me to different chapters of my life and career. From redesigning spaces for longtime friends and former clients to creatively blending mismatched furniture for a newly married couple, I talked honestly about how design is never just about furniture—it's about people, growth, memories, and change. Throughout the episode, I shared my vulnerability, encouraged listeners to take care of themselves during hard times, and reminded them that even small comforts, humor, and creative outlets can help us through painful moments.

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we meet Chloe Stead — 42 years old and currently living in a rustic tiny shack in the bush in Tasmania with her husband — but her journey to this simple life has been anything but ordinary. Since 2008, Chloe has been living a travelling, nomadic lifestyle. After leaving school at 18 to join the Navy and later working in health and safety in Perth, Australia, she reached a quiet breaking point while staying at the Whim Creek Hotel in 2006. A simple but powerful thought surfaced: There has to be more to life than this. Within a week, she sold her house, packed up a shipping container, took her dog, and began driving solo around Australia with just $500 AUD — despite being petrified of sleeping in a tent. That leap of faith set the course for the next chapter of her life. But Chloe's story is not just about adventure — it's about grief, reinvention, and learning to live on her own terms. After the sudden death of her partner Willy in 2013, everything stopped. In the depths of grief, Chloe stepped away from social media, let go of her old life, and slowly began again. Meditation, yoga retreats, and eventually walking the Camino de Santiago in 2014 became turning points. Carrying everything on her back, she discovered a deep love for minimalism, simplicity, and self-reliance. Over the years, Chloe has: Walked multiple Caminos including the Camino del Norte, Camino Primitivo and Via de la Plata Hitchhiked and walked along the beaches of Uruguay Taken a 10,000km road trip with her dog Dexter Lived off less than $100 AUD per week Worked seasonally to fund months of adventure Cycled from Alaska to San Francisco (86 nights in a tent!) Walked the Wales Coast Path and the Portuguese Camino Chosen to stay off social media to be fully present on trail Now married, Chloe continues to design a life built around freedom, movement, and intentional simplicity. With big adventures planned for 2026 — including walking the South West Coast Path and the GR10 — she shares honestly about navigating partnership on trail, managing knee issues, strength training gains, and why getting to the start line is often the hardest part. This conversation is about: Letting go of possessions and expectations Living with uncertainty Processing grief through movement Creating "trail life" off-trail Why you don't need technology to experience adventure Trusting that the universe conspires to keep you going And why you should "give it a crack and get to the start line." Chloe's message is simple but powerful: Life is uncertain. Don't put things off. If there's something you want to do — take the plunge. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!
