In this final panel from the Gray Center's October conference, moderator Aaron Nielsen (UT Austin) speaks with Judge Naomi Rao (D.C. Circuit) and Judge Steven Menashi (Second Circuit) about their role as judges after Loper Bright ended Chevron deference. Rao and Menashi describe their interpretive approaches—text-first, but attentive to context, structure, statutory purpose, and legal terms of art—and emphasize that interpretation involves judgment. They argueLoper Bright largely restores courts' independent duty to decide questions of law under the APA, while still allowing agencies discretion where statutes leave open-textured implementation choices or explicit delegations. The panel discusses D.C. Circuit practices, post–Loper Bright arguments about expertise, “express delegation,” Skidmore, forum shopping, major questions doctrine, scientific complexity, and how the debate may shift toward Article I and nondelegation.Sign up for email updates from the Gray Center here

Health Calls Season 6, Episode 17 explores how health systems across the United States can improve outcomes by connecting health care, nature, and community partnerships. Host Brian Reardon and Executive Producer Josh Matejka welcome Dr. Sheetal Rao, Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago, to examine the growing evidence linking green space access to better physical, mental, and community health.  Dr. Rao shares how the COVID‑19 pandemic revealed stark inequities in access to nature, introducing concepts like tree equity and “nature deficit” in underserved communities. The conversation highlights how hospitals, acting as anchor institutions, can partner with local organizations to expand tree canopy, support biodiversity, and reduce environmental risks like heat, flooding, and air pollution. With U.S. health care contributing significantly to climate impacts, Dr. Rao underscores how nature‑based solutions, from native plantings to urban forestry, can strengthen resilience, improve health outcomes, and advance more equitable, sustainable care nationwide.

The following question refers to Section 7.1 of the 2025 ACS Guidelines. The question is asked by Thomas Jefferson medical student and CardioNerds Academy Intern Dr. Grace Qiu, answered first by University of Michigan fellow and CardioNerds FIT Ambassador Dr. Kayla Secrest, and then by expert faculty Dr. Sunil Rao. Dr. Rao is an interventional cardiologist, Professor of Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Deputy Director of the Leon H. Charney Division of Cardiology, and the Director of Interventional Cardiology for the NYU Langone Health System. He is the Editor-in-Chief for Circulation Cardiovascular Interventions and was the Chair of the Writing Committee for the 2025 ACS Guidelines. This episode is part of our comprehensive Decipher the Guidelines Series covering the 2025 ACC/AHA/ACEP/NAEMSP/SCAI Guideline for the Management of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes. Question #1 A 68-year-old man with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, stage III chronic kidney disease, and prior tobacco use presents to a local emergency department with reports of chest pain while raking leaves at home. Upon arrival, he is hemodynamically stable with a heart rate of 86 beats per minute and a blood pressure of 133/85 mmHg. His EKG reveals ST elevations in the septal and anterior leads (V1-V4). He is given 324mg of aspirin and is promptly evaluated by the interventional cardiology team, who elects to take him emergently to the catheterization lab. Upon arrival to the catheterization lab, the nurse asks the interventional fellow which access sites they should prep for this case? How should the interventional fellow respond? A Right radial artery only B Radial + bilateral femoral C Bilateral femoral only Answer #1 Explanation  The correct answer is B. Radial and bilateral femoral Radial artery access is the preferred vascular access site for coronary angiography and PCI in patients with ACS. Transradial access has been shown to reduce mortality, bleeding, and vascular complications compared with transfemoral access (Class I, LOE A). Radial access also allows earlier ambulation and is associated with greater patient comfort. Although the right radial artery is the most widely studied upper-extremity access site, alternative sites such as the ulnar and distal radial arteries have demonstrated similar outcomes. However, the radial artery may be required as a bypass conduit for CABG. In institutions where the radial artery is routinely used for surgical grafting, this potential future use should be considered when selecting vascular access. In addition, transfemoral access—preferably performed with ultrasound guidance—should be considered in patients in whom temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is anticipated or in those for whom radial access is not feasible due to anatomical or technical constraints. Prepping bilateral groins in addition to the radial artery provides a backup strategy for urgent MCS placement or for transition to femoral access should radial access fail. For these reasons, prepping both the radial artery and bilateral groins is the most appropriate response. Radial-only preparation is incorrect because, although radial access is preferred, patients with STEMI may still require emergent MCS or alternative access if the radial artery is unsuitable. Preparing only the wrist without backup femoral access may delay care should hemodynamic instability occur. Femoral-only preparation is incorrect because transradial access provides superior outcomes in ACS, including significant reductions in all-cause mortality, major bleeding, and vascular complications. RCTs and meta-analyses, including MATRIX (which showed lower MACE and net adverse clinical events with radial access) and SAFARI-STEMI (which showed no difference in mortality but was underpowered)—support radial as first-line access when feasible. Main Takeaway For patients with ACS undergoing PCI, radial access is strongly preferred to reduce mortality, bleeding, and vascular complications. Guideline Loc. Section 7.1

What it takes to lead as a communicator and communicate as a leader.Leadership isn't just about making decisions — it's about how you communicate them. As Matt Abrahams puts it, “Communication is operationalized leadership.”At a recent Me2We event, in connection with Stanford GSB's Executive Education LEAD program, Abrahams held a live discussion with four of the podcast's most popular guests: Celine Teoh, facilitator of the GSB's famous Interpersonal Dynamics course; Huggy Rao, organizational behavior professor and co-author of The Friction Project; legendary Stanford basketball coach Tara VanDerveer; and Dave Dodson, lecturer and author of The Manager's Handbook.In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, the panel shares frameworks and lessons for leading and communicating more effectively. From Teoh's five A's for inviting dissent to Rao's warning against “jargon monoxide,” from VanDerveer's relationship-first approach to Dodson's case for leading like a teacher, this conversation explores what it takes to communicate as a leader — and lead as a communicator.Episode Reference Links:Celine TeohTara VanDerveerHuggy RaoHuggy's Book: The Friction ProjectDavid DodsonDavid's Book: The Manager's HandbookEp.194 Live Lessons in Levity and Leadership: Me2We 2025 Part 1 Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (04:18) - Encouraging Dissent (06:40) - The Addition Bias (09:57) - Coaching Through Encouragement (12:12) - Leadership in the AI Era (16:24) - Teaching vs. Managing (17:46) - Making People Feel Appreciated (19:06) - Slowing Down Decisions (21:24) - Listening More (24:24) - Avoiding Jargon (26:31) - Giving Better Feedback (28:53) - Preparing for Communication (29:44) - Using Communication Frameworks (31:15) - Skills for Future Leaders (37:47) - Conclusion

“Friction for us has to do with obstacles,” says Hayagreeva “Huggy” Rao, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business. “Obstacles can disable you. Obstacles can enable you.”Rao compares friction to cholesterol: Some is good, but some is bad. “Good friction actually slows you down, gets you to pause, and most of all, gets you to reflect,” he explains. “But there's also friction that overwhelms you, exhausts you, confuses you.” On this episode of If/Then, Rao explores how to cultivate the productive kind of friction, reduce the unhelpful kind, and manage your team's most precious resource. “Great leaders are people who think of themselves as trustees of other people's time,” he says.

If you have ever felt like something is off in your gut and nobody has been able to explain why, this episode is for you. On this episode of the Medical Disruptor, I sit down with Dr. Supriya Rao, a quadruple board certified gastroenterologist, to talk about what chronic gut symptoms are actually telling you, why the gut-brain connection is one of the most undertreated areas in medicine today, and what it looks like when a doctor goes beyond the standard workup to find real answers. We cover the truth about IBS, how hormones affect gut health in ways most people never get told, where GLP-1s actually fit into the picture, and the one question Dr. Rao says almost no patient ever thinks to ask. Your gut has been trying to tell you something. It's time to listen. Want more practical health tips?

Kate O'Brien is a prominent media executive and entrepreneur who is actively disrupting the traditional advertising landscape. Before launching her own venture, she built a formidable reputation in the performance media space, notably leading a 200-person agency team and driving massive revenue growth (over 30%) by securing heavyweight clients like DraftKings, Virgin Voyages, and Rao's. In May 2024, she took her company, Powers of Reasoning, out of stealth mode. Key Takeaways on Her and the Agency:The "Guaranteed Performance" Model: Kate founded Powers of Reasoning to fix a major flaw she saw in legacy advertising. While traditional agencies make "esoteric" promises about brand savings, her agency utilizes a unique business model that legally guarantees specific media results or financial returns for clients. Cutting the Agency Markup: Her philosophy centers on extreme data transparency, AI-driven Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) made for modern operators, and completely eliminating hidden agency markups. The Procurement Gap Advocate: As the head of a certified Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE), Kate is a vocal advocate for changing corporate procurement. She frequently highlights the stark statistic that despite massive corporate DEI promises, only about 1% of Fortune 100 companies actually procure services from certified women-owned agencies.She is based in Brooklyn, New York, and is currently a rising star in the independent agency space.

The school spring break merging with the five-day May Day holiday this year prompted many vacationers to trade whirlwind "special forces-style" travel for immersive, multiday stays in single destinations.今年，学生春假与五天“五一”假期叠加，促使许多游客放弃“特种兵式旅游”式的走马观花，转向在一个目的地进行沉浸式、多日停留的深度游。Special forces-style travel refers to a travel trend wherein multiple attractions are covered in a short time through tightly scheduled, high-intensity itineraries. The trend, which has been around for the past few years, is particularly popular among young people.“特种兵式旅游”指的是通过紧凑、高强度的行程安排，在短时间内游览多个景点的旅游趋势。这一趋势已流行数年，在年轻人中尤为盛行。Data from multiple online travel platforms showed the rise of the "depth stay" phenomenon during this year's May Day holiday, from Friday to Tuesday, with travelers spending more time in one place to soak in the local culture and way of life.多家在线旅游平台数据显示，“五一”假期期间（5月1日至5月5日），“深度停留”现象有所上升，游客在单地停留更长时间，以沉浸体验当地文化与生活方式。According to a report from major online lifestyle platform Meituan, 75 percent of advance hotel bookings made for this year's holiday duration were for tourism and leisure. Bookings for homestays of seven days or longer increased by over 40 percent year-on-year. Self-driving tours grew by over 50 percent year-on-year, while medium — to long-term car rentals of four to seven days rose 13 percent.根据大型生活服务平台美团发布的一份报告，在今年“五一”假期期间，75%的酒店提前预订订单为旅游休闲用途，7天及以上民宿预订量同比增长超过40%，自驾游同比增长超过50%，4至7天的中长期租车订单增长13%。A report from online travel platform Fliggy showed that searches for immersive, in-depth domestic travel activities during the May Day holiday — such as river tracing, fruit picking and mountain hiking — increased 130 percent from a year earlier.在线旅游平台飞猪发布的一份报告显示，“五一”期间，溯溪、水果采摘、登山等沉浸式深度国内游活动的搜索量同比增长了130%。A travel consumption review by the online platform Tuniu revealed that bookings by travelers combining the spring break with the May Day holiday increased by more than 50 percent year-on-year, with self-driving tour users doubling and independent travelers rising by over 100 percent.在线平台途牛发布的一份旅游消费盘点显示，将春假与“五一”假期合并出行的游客预订量同比增长超过50%，其中自驾游用户数量翻倍，自由行游客数量增长超过100%。Data from travel platform Qunar indicated a broader peak pattern. Rather than a single rush from May 1 to 5, hotel bookings in popular cities increased by 15 percent during the three days before and after the holiday (April 28-30 and May 6-8), which extended the travel window. This helped ease congestion at major scenic spots and transportation hubs.旅行平台去哪儿网的数据显示，出行高峰分布更为广泛。热门城市的酒店预订量在假日前三天（4月28日至30日）和假日后三天（5月6日至8日）增长了15%，分散了5月1日至5日单点高峰的客流压力，延长了出行窗口期，这有助于缓解大型景区和交通枢纽的拥堵。Rao Yufei, 19, spent five days in Luoyang, Henan province. She visited the Luoyang Museum, the White Horse Temple and the Longmen Grottoes, sampled local delicacies at a night market and booked a hanfu photo shoot in the ancient city of Luoyi.19岁的饶宇飞在河南省洛阳市停留了五天。她游览了洛阳博物馆、白马寺和龙门石窟，在夜市品尝了当地美食，并在洛邑古城预约了一套汉服写真。"Too many stops are exhausting. Luoyang has a rich history, and every site tells a story. Rushing through would mean missing the real joy of a cultural city," said Rao.“跑太多地方太累了。洛阳历史底蕴深厚，每一处古迹都有它的故事，走马观花会错过一座文化城市真正的韵味，”，饶宇飞说。She scheduled just one attraction in the morning and one in the afternoon, allowing ample time for queues and immersive experiences. She reserved five hours for the hanfu shoot and was thrilled with the result.她安排上午只逛一个景点，下午也只逛一个，为排队和深度体验留出充足时间。她为汉服拍摄预留了五个小时，对成片效果感到非常满意。Yang Lingzi, an office worker from Beijing, traveled with her son and two other families to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, for a five-day stay. The group visited the Hubei Provincial Museum, East Lake, shopping streets and Huazhong University of Science and Technology.来自北京的上班族杨凌梓与儿子及另外两个家庭一同前往湖北省省会武汉，进行了为期五天的旅行。他们参观了湖北省博物馆、东湖、商业街和华中科技大学。"Staying in one city felt more relaxing. The nightlife in Wuhan was lively, with great food," she said. "We wanted a break from Beijing and to experience a different city's vibe. No rushed traveling style — just unwinding for a few days."“在一个城市待着更放松。武汉的夜生活很热闹，美食也很多，”她说。“我们想从北京的生活中抽离出来，体验一下不同城市的氛围。不赶行程，就是放松几天。”Lyu Ning, dean of Beijing International Studies University's School of Tourism Sciences, said that the introduction of spring breaks for students and the increased use of paid annual leave by parents represent a positive policy experiment.北京第二外国语学院旅游科学学院院长吕宁表示，为学生引入春假制度以及家长更多使用带薪年假，是一次积极的政策尝试。It effectively staggered passenger flows and relieved congestion during the May Day peak, she said, adding that the policy promoted diverse family tourism consumption and helped smaller cities, counties and rural destinations attract more visitors.她说，这一政策有效错开了客流高峰，缓解了“五一”假期的拥堵，也促进了家庭旅游消费的多元化，帮助中小城市、县城和乡村旅游目的地吸引了更多游客。whirlwind /ˈwɜːlwɪnd/旋风式的，匆忙的immersive /ɪˈmɜːsɪv/沉浸式的soak in /səʊk ɪn/沉浸于，感受ample time /ˈæmpəl taɪm/充足的时间staggered /ˈstæɡəd/错开的

Thanks to everyone who joined for today's Substack live cooking demo — if you couldn't make it, find a full replay above!In the demo, I cooked smoky mole chicken enchiladas with lime crema, a recipe that turns a few humble pantry staples (peanut butter, chocolate chips, tortillas, tomato paste, spices, and chipotles en adobo!) into a delicious weeknight dinner. The only fresh ingredients you'll need are chicken breasts, white onion, a red bell pepper, some shredded cheese, sour cream, and a lime!Recipes that rely heavily on pantry staples are easy to make on nights when the fridge is mostly bare — they can also be more budget-friendly, since the cost-per-use of ingredients like peanut butter and spices is often quite low.Thank you to Thrive Market for sponsoring today's live cook-along, which allowed us to make it free for all subscribers!

We've linked WTC recipes to cook with each! * Coconut milk — Coconut milk's a great dairy-free sub for cream that you can use in curries, smoothies, and soups. In my house though, it's most often used to make coconut rice! * Chipotles en adobo — We used these smoky, spicy peppers today for our mole chicken enchiladas! You can also use them for chipotle black bean enchiladas and cheesy chipotle shrimp tacos. Rarely does a recipe use the whole can, so store your leftover peppers and sauce in an airtight bag in the freezer.* Creamy peanut butter — My house is never without a jar! Again, we used it here in our mole sauce, but I also love mixing it with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey for a peanut sauce to serve on noodles or alongside potstickers. This peanut veggie curry is delightful, as are PB&Js, apples with peanut butter, smoothies bulked up with PB… the uses go on and on!* Curry paste — Curry paste packs SO MUCH flavor into just one spoonful! Keep your pantry (or fridge, once you've opened it) stocked with red curry paste (Mike's is my favorite) and you can cook thai chicken chops, one-pot pumpkin chickpea curry, and thai tofu curry noodle soup! * Jarred marinara/tomato sauce — You could make a homemade marinara… or let someone do it for you! I've written many recipes with store-bought jarred marinara/tomato sauce listed as an ingredient because if you get a high-quality brand (my favorite is Rao's), it really does taste homemade and will save you so much time and effort. Stock up on a jar to be able to cook 30-minute chicken Parm meatballs, messy meatball sliders, shortcut shakshuka, and 5-ingredient eggplant marinara.

Unusually, he is qualified in both Oncology and Integrative Oncology and he has a passion for bringing these two worlds together. In this episode, Dr Rao reviews progress in the integrative movement in recent years, and discusses the therapeutic relationship and the enormous potential that is inherent in it to improve patients wellbeing and outcomes through person-centred care, and the conscious utilisation of the placebo effect.

Quick Summary:The Space Show hosted science journalist Rahul Rao to discuss his new book on nanotechnology, focusing on applications in space and other fields. Rao explained that while humans have been using nanoscale materials for centuries, the field as we know it began developing after World War II, with significant breakthroughs in the 1980s and 1990s including the discovery of carbon nanotubes in 1991. The discussion covered both promising applications like medical nano surgery, spacecraft coatings, and environmental cleanup, as well as current challenges including material defects and scaling issues that limit practical implementation. While some applications like enhanced carbon fibers and aerospace coatings are already happening, more ambitious uses like space elevators remain in the future timeline, with widespread implementation likely in the 2030s rather than the near term. The conversation also addressed potential risks including environmental pollution from nanoparticles and weaponization concerns, though these were deemed less immediate than current technical challenges.SummaryRahul Rao, a science writer and journalist, discussed his focus on nanotechnology and space topics, highlighting the common use of nanomaterials in various scientific and engineering areas. He explained the historical development of nanotechnology, noting its origins in the post-World War II era and significant advancements in the 1980s and 1990s, including the discovery of carbon nanotubes in 1991. Rahul also addressed the current and potential future applications of nanotechnology, including the use of nanomaterials and the possibility of creating molecular-scale machines, though the boundaries of such advancements remain uncertain.David discussed his experience with the space elevator concept, noting its popularity in the early 2000s but questioning its current feasibility. Rahul explained that while carbon nanotubes and graphene are being developed at large scales, the materials remain too defective for a space elevator. The conversation highlighted the distinction between carbon nanotubes and carbon fiber, with Philip clarifying that they are different technologies.Phil explained the differences between carbon nanotubes and carbon fiber, noting that while carbon fiber is widely used in industries like aerospace and sports equipment, carbon nanotubes remain challenging to scale up effectively due to manufacturing limitations. Rahul discussed his interest in nanotechnology, highlighting its diverse applications beyond ambitious concepts like space elevators, including practical innovations like mRNA vaccines and CO2 storage using MOF nanomaterials. When asked about technology readiness levels, Rahul indicated that while the CO2 storage application is still in laboratory stages, similar substances are being tested in pilot projects. Marshall mentioned his interest in 2DPA-1, a two-dimensional polymer with properties similar to steel, though development in the past four years has been limited to improving manufacturing methods.Rahul discussed the timeline challenges with nanotechnology materials, comparing them to historical examples like aluminum, which took decades to develop into widely used materials. He explained current nanotechnology research areas, including nanoparticles for targeting disease pathogens and nanoscale tools for medical applications like cancer treatment. When asked about self-healing cables for space elevators, Rahul was not aware of any proven or published research on this specific technology, though he noted it was mentioned in discussions. David shared information about self-correcting undersea cables from the 1990s that could reroute signals around damage, though these are now losing economic value due to satellite technology like Starlink.Rahul discussed current and future applications of nanotechnology, highlighting medical applications as likely to receive significant attention in the coming years. He mentioned the development of enhanced carbon fibers with carbon nanotubes for use in aircraft and spacecraft coatings, as well as the potential for using carbon nanotubes in small electronics within the next decade. Rahul also explained that quantum dots, another form of nanotechnology, are being used in QLED televisions and discussed the challenges in producing defect-free carbon nanotubes. When asked about potential “nano nightmares,” Rahul identified environmental pollution and the risk of nanoparticles entering the human respiratory system as significant concerns.Rahul explained that incidental nanomaterials, which naturally exist, pose less immediate hazard than engineered nanomaterials that might escape into the environment. John Hunt raised concerns about potential misuse of nanotechnology for weaponry, though Rahul considered this a less pressing issue than environmental pollution. Marshall inquired about the relationship between nanoparticles and radiation, to which Rahul responded he was not aware of specific issues but acknowledged the potential intersection. Rahul outlined several applications of nanomaterials in space, including thermal insulation, heat shields, and nanoparticle-enhanced propulsion, suggesting these could emerge within the next 5-10 years.Rahul discussed the current state and future potential of nanomaterials, particularly carbon nanotubes and graphene. He explained that while nanomaterials are already being used in aerospace applications and will continue to grow in the next five years, broader applications like those in automotive industries or advanced tires are likely still decades away. Rahul noted that increased private sector interest and startup activity could drive progress, though he expected any impact to be gradual rather than revolutionary. The discussion also covered potential applications in space exploration, environmental engineering, and construction materials, with Rahul emphasizing that while theoretical possibilities exist, practical implementation timelines remain uncertain.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentNo Program for Friday, April 24, 2026 | Friday 24 Apr 2026 930AM PTGuests: Dr. David LivingstonNo Program todayNo program for Sunday, April 26, 2026 | Sunday 26 Apr 2026 1200PM PTGuests: Dr. David LivingstonNo program todayThe program resumes its regular schedule on Friday, May 1, 2026.Our Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

The Rao Lab at Seattle Children's Research Institute developed a three-dimensional (3D) tissue-engineered model of osteosarcoma to investigate the effects of the extracellular matrix on malignant cell function. The study demonstrated that culturing osteosarcoma (OS) cells within a 3D collagen matrix induced unique cellular responses, altered morphology, enhanced tumorigenic behavior, and reduced chemosensitivity compared to cells cultured in 2D collagen or on standard tissue culture plastic. They identified overexpression of drug efflux pumps as a key mechanism of chemoresistance and further showed that a tyrosine kinase inhibitor could suppress drug efflux activity, thereby enhancing the efficacy of standard chemotherapeutic agents.While this earlier study examined the effects of a single collagen concentration on osteosarcoma phenotype, clinical solid tumors are characterized by altered extracellular microarchitecture, including increased matrix density and stiffness. These changes restrict drug transport and limit chemotherapy-induced cell death.Dr. Rao will present findings from engineered tumor models incorporating varying matrix densities and demonstrate how matrix density influences osteosarcoma function. This work was funded by the 2025 Outsmarting Osteosarcoma Young Investigator Hope Award.Dr. Rao is a Pediatric Hematologist Oncologist at the Seattle Children's Hospital and a Principal Investigator in the Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders Research at the Seattle Children's Research Institute. His lab harnesses biomaterials and tissue engineering technologies to design 3D models of osteosarcoma to understand how cell-matrix interactions lead to chemoresistance.

Hit by a COVID‑related brain stroke, the doctors told Professor M.S. Rao he wouldn't survive. Then when he does survive, but is left paralyzed on his right side, doctors told him he would never walk again. He refused to accept that ending. In this episode, Rao shares how disciplined self‑talk, a steady spiritual foundation, and a lifetime of resilience helped him rebuild his body and re‑shape his future—one determined step at a time. An Indian Air Force veteran, author of 55 books, and longtime advocate for mindfulness and mental health, Rao opens up about the forces that shaped him: a difficult childhood, the structure and cultural tolerance forged in the military, and the daily practices that anchor his optimism. He explains how concepts like dharma, karma, and service guide his choices, why he believes "life is an echo," and how gratitude, empathy, and ethical living became non‑negotiables in his recovery. In this episode, we explore: How disciplined inner dialogue helped him survive and recover The mantra he repeated when fear and doubt closed in Why fitness, structure, and service became the backbone of his resilience How karma and dharma shape his approach to leadership and healing The role of gratitude, empathy, and respect in rebuilding a meaningful life Join the Journey If this conversation resonates, subscribe for more stories of grit, adventure, and faith — and share it with someone who needs strength today.

Welcome to Potential to Powerhouse: Success Secrets from Female Leaders, where host Tracy Holland dives into transformative conversations with visionary thinkers, entrepreneurs, and experts redefining success. In this deeply moving episode, Tracy sits down with Dr. Srikumar Rao, founder of the Rao Institute and one of the world's most respected executive coaches. Dr. Rao works with highly successful entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders who have already reached the top — yet still feel something is missing. Why? Because achievement alone does not create fulfillment. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Rao shares why so many high achievers feel empty after reaching their goals and explains the deeper purpose behind human existence. Drawing from ancient wisdom traditions and modern leadership principles, he explores how entrepreneurs can shift from ego-driven success to lasting peace, purpose, and joy. If you've ever wondered "Is this all there is?", this conversation may change the way you see your life, your work, and the universe itself. Episode Highlights Why success doesn't always lead to fulfillment The real purpose of life The illusion of the "doer" mindset Why we chase goals that don't truly satisfy us How to quiet the mind and escape the cycle of anxiety The concept of the "friendly universe" A simple practice to transform your mindset Key Takeaways Many entrepreneurs believe that once they achieve success, happiness will follow. But as Dr. Srikumar Rao explains, success often reveals a deeper truth: fulfillment doesn't come from accomplishments but from awareness. By shifting perspective, letting go of ego, and recognizing the deeper nature of our existence, we can move from striving and anxiety toward peace, joy, and a sense of purpose that is not dependent on external success.

The delicious, healthful prune has long had a cross to bear: It's best known for making people poop. In the late 1990s, the California Prune Board set out on a quixotic mission to amend this sales-flattening reputation. It would attempt to rechristen this ancient fruit in the hopes the prune could one day be as unencumbered as an apricot, a raisin, or a fig. In a world where every product and person increasingly believes it's one good rebrand away from changing how they are seen, the story of the prune's attempt to become the “dried plum” is a telling tale about the impossibility of escaping who you really are—and the freedom that comes with self-acceptance. You'll hear from Richard Peterson, retired Executive Director of the California Prune Board; food writer and chef David Liebovitz; lawyer and lobbyist Dan Haley; and Kiaran Locy, Director of Brand and Industry Communications at the California Prune Board.This episode was written by Willa Paskin.

Eric Skae was running Rao's — one of the most iconic pasta sauce brands in America — when his daughter told him she wanted to go somewhere else for her birthday. Not just anywhere: Carbone, the red-sauce Italian restaurant that had become the hottest reservation in New York. "It's the place for my generation," she told him. "I've already been to Rao's with you." Five years later, Skae has turned that generational insight into a sauce brand that has surpassed $100 million in retail sales, landed in 30,000 stores, and deliberately abandoned traditional advertising in favor of a strategy built on earned media, events, and a single borrowed philosophy from the restaurant: dinner is the show.

Send us a textDr. Kavya Rao from University of Buffalo discusses quality improvement initiatives following completion of her master's in QI. Her team successfully implemented antibiotic stewardship by safely discontinuing antibiotics at 24 hours for early onset sepsis in clinically well infants with negative blood cultures, initially studying all gestational ages with plans for subset analysis. Additional projects include reducing PRBC and platelet transfusions using lower thresholds based on updated guidelines. Rao emphasizes finding QI topics through clinical passion and data-driven identification of performance gaps, using benchmarking with Vermont Oxford Network data. She co-mentors fellows in QI with Dr. Valerie Albertson and expresses enthusiasm for the Tiny Baby Collaborative, recognizing 22-weekers require distinct physiologic approaches.

Farewell General Zod, you were quite the idiot!Clark now has the Book of Rao, but only to find out it will teleport every Kryptonian to their "paradise" world to start fresh. Since that includes Clark, he decides to lead his people to their new lives and has to say goodbye to his loved ones. Chloe gets pissed, Oliver doesn't care, and Lois gets told she needs to pick Africa over love. BUT, before Clark can do anything, Zod and his Kandorians begin committing gang violence across the globe because that's how you take over the world (apparently). Britt Irvin, Michael Shanks and Alaina Huffman all return as DC Comics original characters Courtney Whitmore ("Stargirl"), Carter Hall ("Hawkman") and Dinah Lance ("Black Canary"), respectively. Phil Morris and Lee Thompson Young make their final appearances as DC Comics original characters John Jones (“Martian Manhunter”) and Victor Stone (“Cyborg”), respectively. As always, enjoy the show and LEAVE THOSE FIVE STARS!

St. Louis “missed connections” get the spotlight — from the Cardinals game (because nothing says romance like a Goldschmidt jersey and zero courage), to the Schnucks pasta sauce aisle (true love bottled in Rao's), Tower Grove dog playdates (dogs have more game than people), and even a Central West End coffee shop spill. It's awkward romance, funny love stories, and meet-cutes gone wrong — basically a real-life rom-com, minus the happy ending. If you like comedy videos, sarcastic humor, and hilarious fails, you've found your place with The Rizzuto Show. The Goldschmidt Ghoster (00:00:13) He had a Paul Goldschmidt jersey, a Cards hat pulled low, and the courage to… say nothing. She had a great smile and probably actual game knowledge. Instead of a number, he walked away with regret. Classic Busch Stadium love story. The Sauce Boss at Schnucks (00:01:18) Nothing says romance like standing helpless in the pasta aisle, crying over marinara. Enter: Mystery Hoodie Girl, handing out Rao's recs like Cupid with a grocery list. He didn't get her number, but at least dinner didn't taste like regret. When Your Dog Has Better Game Than You (00:02:35) Boy meets girl. Dog meets dog. Only one party knows how to seal the deal… and it's not the humans. Two retrievers almost arranged a playdate — too bad their owners couldn't figure it out. Latte, Meet Gravity (00:03:45) Nothing sparks romance quite like a stranger launching a latte all over Kaldi's. Amid the splash zone, two people locked eyes. She smirked, he chickened out, and love evaporated faster than spilled espresso.

Today's Headlines: The manhunt in Utah is over — 22-year-old Tyler Robinson confessed to killing Charlie Kirk after admitting it to his father and minister, who turned him in. Investigators haven't nailed down a motive, though his transgender roommate (and alleged former partner) told police Robinson thought Kirk's anti-trans rhetoric was hateful. That roommate has been cooperating, handing over texts that led police to the hidden rifle. Formal charges are expected tomorrow. Meanwhile, Congress is debating everything from Kirk lying in state at the Capitol to criminalizing jokes about his death, while FBI Director Kash Patel made headlines for tweeting bad info about the case… from a prime table at Rao's. Elsewhere: Maryland and Michigan officials got bomb threats (one credible, since cleared), Trump backed off sending the National Guard to Chicago but is pushing troops into Memphis, and Fox host Brian Kilmeade apologized for suggesting homeless people be killed by lethal injection. In Brazil, lawmakers are floating amnesty for ex-president Bolsonaro after his coup conviction — a move drawing sharp rebukes from Brazil and open threats from Trump and Marco Rubio. Trump also tried tying new Russia sanctions to NATO-wide tariffs on China. Across the pond, over 100,000 people joined a far-right rally in London, complete with Elon Musk ranting about wokeness, while Nepal's revolutionaries literally elected a new prime minister on Discord. Not to be left out, Albania's Prime MInister just appointed an AI “minister” named Diella to fight corruption as part of its EU membership bid.
