Send us a textWhen people at work describe you as "the reliable one" or "the person who gets things done," those labels sound like compliments. But if those same descriptions are keeping you from getting promoted, you've been typecast. In this episode, Kele Belton reveals the R.E.F.R.A.M.E. Method, a strategic seven-step process for resetting your professional reputation and repositioning yourself when decision-makers have put you in a box that's too small for where you're headed. You'll learn how to break out of the mental category people have created for you and start being recognized for your full leadership potential.What This Episode Is AboutYou've been exceeding expectations for years, but when leadership roles open up, your name isn't on the list. When strategic projects are assigned, you get the execution work instead of the visioning work. And somehow, you're never part of the "high potential" conversation. In this powerful episode, Kele breaks down why this happens (you've been typecast based on what you do repeatedly) and walks you through the exact strategic process for dismantling the old perception while building a new one. You'll hear the story of a client who transformed from "detail-oriented implementer" to "strategic problem solver" in just one month, and how that shift opened doors to leadership roles she'd been overlooked for.What You'll LearnHow to identify the specific label or box people have unconsciously assigned you at work (and why recognizing this pattern is the first step to breaking free).The R.E.F.R.A.M.E. Method: A complete seven-step framework for strategically repositioning your professional brand when you've been typecast.How to establish your new professional vision by defining the 3-5 specific qualities and capabilities that position you for the role you want next.Strategic opportunity selection: How to say yes to different work (not more work) that showcases your new identity in visible ways.How to amplify your new professional identity through consistent, visible actions that create an undeniable pattern.Why enlisting strategic allies is the most powerful (and most overlooked) step in repositioning yourself, and exactly how to approach these conversations.Mentioned In This EpisodeIgnite Your Leadership Power Accelerator: A 12-week group coaching program for women in middle management ready to step into senior leadership.

You've probably worked hard for your money your entire life.You learned to be responsible.Reliable.Capable.So when income plateaus, the instinct is simple:“Work more.”“Try harder.”“Fix myself.”But money doesn't work that way.In this episode, I introduce the concept of three money zones — and explain why staying in the wrong one keeps women exhausted, underpaid, and confused.In this episode, you'll learn: Why effort alone stops working at a certain level How money actually responds to positioning, not sacrifice The hidden zone most women never enter Why growth feels blocked even when you're doing everything “right” What shifts when income becomes predictable instead of stressfulIf money feels heavy — this episode will give you clarity.

Send me a messageEurope is drowning in cheap clean power, and still wasting it.The problem isn't renewables. It's what happens when the grid can't cope with abundance.In this episode of the Climate Confident Podcast, I'm joined by Oonagh O'Grady, Vice President of International Origination at Hydrostor, a global leader in long-duration energy storage. We dig into one of the most under-discussed blockers of the energy transition: what happens after wind and solar scale, but before the grid is ready.Oonagh explains why short-duration batteries, while essential, aren't enough once renewables reach 40–50% of the system. We unpack why grids are hitting curtailment, negative pricing, and instability, and why eight to twenty-four hours of long-duration energy storage is fast becoming the backbone of a reliable, net-zero power system.You'll hear why advanced compressed air energy storage can deliver fossil-free, utility-scale flexibility for decades, how it compares with batteries and pumped hydro on cost and performance, and why inertia and grid stability are suddenly back in the spotlight after recent European outages. We also get into the policy side: what leading regions like California, Australia, and the UK are getting right, and what Europe must do now if it wants secure, affordable, decarbonised electricity in the 2030s.This is a grounded, evidence-led conversation about climate tech that actually works at scale - and a reminder that without long-duration storage, the energy transition stalls just when it should be accelerating.

On this week's edition of Sweeping the Country, Derik and Jimmy dive headfirst into today's biggest headlines, unpacking the ICE situation in Minnesota, the growing divide between the political left and right, and the question many Americans are asking: is it time for a more moderate approach? They also tackle where people should actually be getting their news in an era of nonstop noise and opinion, offering perspective, pushback, and plenty of straight talk along the way.

The federal government wants parents to breastfeed more. In a press conference last month, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. argued that infant formula falls short in comparison to breast milk. And in a strategy report published last September called “Make Our Children Healthy Again," the White House said it would “work to increase breastfeeding rates.” In some corners, these initiatives and comments have ruffled feathers – with critics arguing the emphasis was tantamount to shaming women who can’t or choose not to breastfeed. But they also got us thinking about the science behind the breast milk versus infant formula debate …. and why it’s still so controversial when people have been feeding their babies since, well… forever.

James 1:5 (NIV) “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”This year, with God's help and the power of the Holy Spirit, I declare: I will SEEK WISDOM. My independence, my isolation, and even the wrong friends are ENEMIES of my growth. I refuse to do life apart from GODLY COMMUNITY.If you want wise DECISIONS, you need wise VOICES.Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.1. Wisdom GROWS in PROXIMITY.Wisdom isn't just TAUGHT—it's CAUGHT.ISOLATION blocks ILLUMINATION.Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.'2. Wise people are GODLY PEOPLE.A godly person KNOWS God's Word and LIVES God's Word.Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.Feelings are REAL, but feelings are not RELIABLE.Proverbs 15:22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.3. Wrong community DESTROYS; right community STRENGTHENS.1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.'You can LOVE people without letting them LEAD you.Your circle is either FEEDING your faith or STARVING your future.Life starts UNRAVELING the moment I PULL AWAY from godlycommunity.Hebrews 10:24–25   And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.ROWS are great for worship. CIRCLES are where you grow.You are ONE godly community away from WISDOM landing in your life.

Somewhere in the multiverse, a cleric just whispered "I prepared Bless," and three dice immediately rolled higher out of pure fear. Because clerics aren't "the healbot," they're the divine Swiss Army knife: buffer, debuffer, front-liner, artillery, investigator, walking lie detector, and occasionally the person who politely asks a demon to leave and the demon actually does. Today we're building clerics from levels 1–10: how to pick your domain, what to prepare, how to stop wasting actions, and how to make your table say, "Wait… clerics can do that?" Show notes Cleric identity at levels 1–10: You're a full caster with armor, a strong action economy toolkit, and some of the best "party-wide value per spell slot" in the game. Choosing a Domain (Subclass) with intent What each domain wants to do in combat (frontline, blaster, controller, support, utility). How domain spells shape your "default prep list." The hidden question: "Do I want to solve problems with my action, my bonus action, or my reaction?" Ability scores and build priorities Wisdom as your engine (save DCs, prepared spells, key features). Constitution for concentration survivability. Strength vs Dexterity depending on armor and weapon plans. Armor, weapons, and "being accidentally hard to kill" Light/medium/heavy armor considerations. Shield math and when it's worth it. Weapon use: when it's a trap, when it's correct, and how cantrips change the calculus. Cantrips that actually matter Core combat cantrips (and why "I guess I'll swing my mace" is usually a cry for help). Utility cantrips that quietly win sessions. Spell preparation that doesn't make you cry Your "always-good" staples (buffs, heals, control, utility). How to prep for unknown adventuring days without over-prepping niche tools. Concentration discipline: the real cleric skill. Channel Divinity: use it early, use it often Turning Undead and its situational dominance. Domain Channel Divinity options as mid-tier power spikes. How Channel Divinity changes your "resource rhythm" between short rests. Level-by-level power spikes (1–10) L1: Domain + armor + Bless = "party performance enhancement plan" L2: Channel Divinity arrives (and suddenly your subclass has teeth) L3: 2nd-level spells broaden your problem-solving L5: 3rd-level spells are the "cleric becomes a headline" moment L6–8: subclass features + improved survivability + cantrip/weapon upgrades L9–10: 5th-level spells and consistent encounter impact Table role: how to be a cleric without becoming the babysitter Healing as a tool, not a lifestyle. Preventing damage and ending fights faster as the "real healing." Coordinating with your party so your buffs land where they matter. Key Takeaways  Start with your cleric job description Pick one primary role and one secondary role: Support/Buffer (primary) + Controller (secondary) Frontline (primary) + Support (secondary) Blaster (primary) + Utility/Support (secondary) Most clerics get in trouble when they try to be all of these every round. Concentration is your true hit point total A cleric who keeps concentration up is a force multiplier. A cleric who drops it every other round is a very polite person wearing armor. Practical habits: Don't stack concentration spells in your head like a wishlist—pick one plan per fight. Invest in Con saves/survivability decisions early. Position like you're important (because you are). Your "default fight plan" should fit on an index card Example templates: Support opener: Concentration buff → sustain/position → emergency heal only when it flips the encounter. Control opener: Concentration control → maintain distance/cover → punish clustering. Frontline opener: Concentration buff/control → stand where enemies hate it → force bad choices. Healing is strongest when it changes the math right now In-combat healing shines when it: Prevents an ally from going down before they lose their next turn, Buys a crucial round of actions, Keeps a key damage dealer online, Or pairs with control/positioning to stop the "down-up-down" cycle. Otherwise, healing between fights (and prevention during fights) is often more efficient. Domain spells and Channel Divinity are your build's "signature moves" If you're not using your domain's unique tools regularly, you may have picked a domain whose play pattern you don't actually enjoy. Levels 1–10 clerics win by being the most consistent person at the table You don't need perfect optimization to be great—clerics reward: Reliable concentration, Smart positioning, Prepared spells that solve common problems, And knowing when to spend resources to swing an encounter.

In Episode 77 of the WeInfuse Podcast, we welcome back Trey Holterman from Tennr for a timely and practical conversation on how to create a reliable referral-to-treatment process in today's increasingly complex healthcare environment. Trey returns following his earlier appearance on Episode 69: How to Improve Efficiency, Reimbursement & Service with Trey Holterman where he explored how automation and workflow optimization can help infusion centers process patients faster and improve reimbursement outcomes, where he discussed improving efficiency, reimbursement, and service across patient intake workflows. In this follow-up episode, the conversation goes deeper, focusing on where referrals break down, why patients get stuck, and how operational gaps at the front end create downstream problems for patients, staff, and revenue. Trey shares the most common points of failure between referral and treatment, including incomplete orders, slow outreach, unclear financial responsibility, and prior authorization delays. Trey also breaks down what many operators experience every year but struggle to manage effectively, the insurance “blizzard.” As insurance changes reset at the start of the year, infusion centers face a surge of eligibility checks, authorization reviews, and documentation updates. When these steps are not handled proactively, patients show up for care only to be turned away, or worse, receive treatment that will never be reimbursed. Listeners will gain insight into how speed, structure, and clarity at the front end of the process directly impact patient conversion, denial rates, staff workload, and risk exposure. Trey shares real-world examples of how tightening referral intake, standardizing prior authorization workflows, and proactively managing insurance changes can dramatically improve both patient experience and operational performance. This episode is a must-listen for infusion center leaders, operators, and referral teams who want to reduce chaos, protect revenue, and ensure patients move smoothly from referral to treatment without falling through the cracks.

In this episode, host Sandy Vance is joined by Julie Frey, Vice President of Product Management at Wolters Kluwer, for a thoughtful conversation on how artificial intelligence is shaping clinical intelligence across healthcare.

Reliable income is harder to find when markets shift, and traditional tools feel less predictable. Many investors are looking for new ways to generate cash flow without stepping away from equity exposure altogether. This week, Robert Curtiss welcomes Matt Kaufman, Head of ETFs at Calamos Investments, to explain how auto-callable strategies work and why they are gaining attention. They break down how equity-linked income differs from bonds, how coupons are generated, and where these tools may fit inside a portfolio. The conversation also covers risk considerations, tax treatment, and how ETFs are changing access to structured strategies. Key points: How equity markets can be used to generate consistent monthly income instead of relying on bonds Why auto callable strategies trade upside participation for predictable cash flow How downside barriers work and when coupons may pause or resume Tax treatment differences compared to traditional fixed income Where auto-callable ETFs may fit alongside equities, munis, or covered call strategies And more!

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Keith Zubchevich, CEO of Conviva, to unpack one of the most honest analogies I have heard about today's AI rollout. Keith compares modern AI agents to toddlers being sent out to get a job, full of promise, curious, and energetic, yet still lacking the judgment and context required to operate safely in the real world. It is a simple metaphor, but it captures a tension many leaders are feeling as generative AI matures in theory while so many deployments stumble in practice. As ChatGPT approaches its third birthday, the narrative suggests that GenAI has grown up. Yet Keith argues that this sense of maturity is misleading, especially inside enterprises chasing measurable returns. He explains why so many pilots stall or quietly disappoint, not because the models lack intelligence, but because organizations often release agents without clear outcomes, real-time oversight, or an understanding of how customers actually experience those interactions. The result is AI that appears to function well internally while quietly frustrating users or failing to complete the job it was meant to do. We also dig into the now infamous Chevrolet chatbot incident that sold a $76,000 vehicle for one dollar, using it as a lens to examine what happens when agents are left without boundaries or supervision. Keith makes a strong case that the next chapter of enterprise AI will not be defined by ever-larger models, but by visibility. He shares why observing behavior, patterns, sentiment, and efficiency in real time matters more than chasing raw accuracy, especially once AI moves from internal workflows into customer-facing roles. This conversation will resonate with anyone under pressure to scale AI quickly while worrying about brand risk, accountability, and trust. Keith offers a grounded view of what effective AI "parenting" looks like inside modern organizations, and why measuring the customer experience remains the most reliable signal of whether an AI system is actually growing up or simply creating new problems at speed. As leaders rush to put agents into production, are we truly ready to guide them, or are we sending toddlers into the workforce and hoping for the best?

Reliable annular isolation is a cornerstone of well integrity, ensuring safe and efficient operations throughout the life of the well. However, achieving this reliability is often complicated by persistent challenges such as sustained casing pressure, difficulty in reaching the top of cement, and isolating complex or heterogeneous formations. These issues can lead to costly remedial interventions, increased operational risk, and compromised well performance.Welltec's Metal Expandable Packer (MEP) technology offers a proactive solution by enabling operators to design wells that mitigate these risks from the outset. Unlike conventional methods, the MEP provides a robust, permanent seal without reliance on cement, delivering superior isolation across a wide range of applications. This technology not only reduces the likelihood of remedial work but also enhances well integrity, optimizes construction efficiency, and improves long-term production performance.In this session, we will explore the engineering principles behind Welltec's MEP solution, review its field-proven track record, and demonstrate how operators worldwide are leveraging this technology to overcome isolation challenges. Join us to learn how the MEP is transforming well design strategies, reducing operational complexity, and driving cost savings while ensuring sustainable well integrity.To watch the video, click here.

Mobile crisis teams are struggling. These are the teams of mental health professionals that respond to behavioral health calls instead of police. Those programs don't have reliable funding, and the teams that remain say they need help.

In this episode of Let's Get It Straight, infection control consultant and host Katherine West tackles the growing challenge of accessing dependable scientific guidance amid shifting government support and archived resources. With traditional CDC documents and expert advisory groups diminished or disbanded, she unpacks how critical recommendations—such as those comparing N95 respirators to surgical masks—are formed using evidence review methods like CHARM and GRADE. Katherine highlights key differences in medical versus EMS settings that affect mask use and safety protocols, and she points to regional alliances stepping up to fill guidance voids. Emphasizing the importance of verifying sources and cross-checking studies before accepting health data, this session arms healthcare professionals with the tools to sift through conflicting info and make informed decisions.

Send us a textIf you stopped showing up to work tomorrow, what would actually happen? Would revenue dip, or would your work simply be quietly reassigned? In this episode, I ask the uncomfortable questions that every senior professional needs to sit with. We explore why the job market doesn't necessarily reward the most qualified person, but rather the person who solves the most urgent, painful, and expensive problems. I discuss the 'Candy, Vitamin, and Painkiller' framework and why so many overlooked achievers get stuck in the 'Vitamin' box—seen as helpful and reliable, but not essential. You will learn how to shift your positioning to become a 'Painkiller' and why this is critical for your career acceleration. I also share four powerful lessons from the late, iconic James Earl Jones (the voice of Darth Vader) on how to turn your weakest muscles into your strongest assets. Book a Game Plan Call: If you are ready to identify the specific pain you solve and position yourself as a painkiller, book a one-on-one session: superchargeyourself.com/gameplanKey TakeawaysThe Candy, Vitamin, Painkiller Framework: Investors and businesses view roles in three categories. 'Candy' is fun but dispensable; 'Vitamins' are helpful and steady but not urgent; 'Painkillers' solve expensive, risky, or urgent problems. To be indispensable, you must be a Painkiller. The Perception Gap: Many senior executives are already solving pain in reality, but they communicate like vitamins. If you describe your work as "supporting cross-functional teams" rather than "eliminating financial leakage," you are underselling your impact.The PPF Strategy: I introduce my Painkiller Positioning Framework. Step 1: Identify the pain you solve (financial, time, or risk). Step 2: Articulate outcomes, not activities. Step 3: Position yourself as someone whose absence would hurt the business. Lessons from Darth Vader: James Earl Jones had a severe stutter as a child and was not the first choice for Darth Vader. His journey teaches us that you don't need to be the first choice to be essential, and sometimes taking a step back (or a lower fee) can lead to a massive leap forward. Episode Highlights01:00 – The Uncomfortable Question: What would happen if you stopped showing up to work tomorrow?02:58 – The 'Candy, Vitamin, and Painkiller' Framework: A breakdown of how businesses value roles, from dispensable "candy" to essential "painkillers."04:53 – Real-World Painkiller Examples: How finance, supply chain, and product leaders solve urgent, expensive, or risky problems.07:02 – The Painkiller Positioning Framework (PPF): A three-step strategy to identify the pain you solve and articulate outcomes over activities.10:37 – Lessons from James Earl Jones: How the voice of Darth Vader turned a childhood stutter into his greatest strength.14:02 – Strategic Steps Back: Why a temporary dip in pay or title can set up a long-term career leap.Enjoyed this episode?

As we head into 2026, electricity grids aren't just under strain; they are facing transformational change because of the shifts in the ways that we work, entertain ourselves, and get around. EVs are one of the fastest-growing new loads on the grid in many parts of the world, but are also one of the least well-understood. They can exhibit flexibility that's mostly going unused today. Millions of EVs are already connected to the grid, and they're being treated as a problem instead of a solution. So how could they be used to ease that strain on electricity grids? What would it look like if we could turn EVs into really useful distributed energy resources (DERs)? Host Ed Crooks welcomes Apoorv Bhargava to the show for the first time. Apoorv is the CEO and co-founder of WeaveGrid, a company aiming to make EVs and other DERs function like dependable infrastructure for distribution grids. It wants provide utilities with trusted, repeatable, edge-level control of assets, rather than occasional, system-level demand response. Apoorv explains how it all works.Apoorv is a former student of regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, who now teaches at New York University. She joins the show to argue that there is still a great deal of uncertainty around claims of using flexibility to reinforce. It isn't a black-and-white question, she says: flexibility only works when it's engineered, trusted and planned for at the distribution level, not improvised through emergency demand response. Together Ed, Apoorv and Amy debate how EVs and grids might be able to work together in the future, instead of against each other. They discuss consumer behaviour, politics and concerns over rising power bills as factors that will matter just as much as the evolution of the technology. The biggest grid upgrade opportunity may not be new wires, transformers or even power plants: it could be the Tesla, VW or BYD in your driveway.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Consistency in health and fitness comes from structure that holds up during busy seasons, not motivation or perfect routines.

As we step into a new year, we're reminded that God doesn't operate by our calendar—He works in seasons. This message invites us to examine the spiritual safeguards that keep us on the journey God has designed for us. Drawing from Philippians 3, we're challenged to ask ourselves: What are we truly confident in? Not just intellectually, but with the kind of conviction that stands firm when circumstances shake us. The message presents ten practical safeguards that aren't meant to give us life—only Jesus does that—but they function like highway barriers, keeping us moving in the right direction. From putting God first and embracing kingdom culture, to honoring our marriages and speaking words of life, these safeguards touch every aspect of our existence. Perhaps most compelling is the call to live with eternity in mind while not taking ourselves too seriously—a beautiful tension that keeps us both purposeful and peaceful. The declaration at the end, proclaiming Christ's supremacy over all creation and authority, reminds us that these aren't just good habits but acts of spiritual warfare. When we declare who God is and who we are in Him, we're speaking into both the natural and spiritual realms, establishing the reality of His kingdom in our everyday lives.

We're back with a brand-new series, Not Just Stories: A Guide to the Gospels! Over the next few weeks, we'll be tackling your questions surrounding the Gospels in hopes that we all get more from this important section of Scripture designed to introduce us to and draw us closer to Jesus. When God's Spirit is at work in us, one of the most natural desires we develop is to know His Word. In this episode, Keith and Patrick kick off this new series by answering a few foundational questions to help us understand his Word more deeply: Who wrote the Gospels? When were they written? Who were they written for? And can we trust that the events they describe really happened? Along the way, they explore historical evidence, eyewitness testimony, and why the Gospels deserve far more confidence than they're often given. This episode lays the groundwork for reading the Gospels, not just faithfully, but thoughtfully.

Ope Amosu is the chef/owner of ChòpnBlọk located in Houston, Texas. Ope began his career working in oil and gas all over the globe. The son of Nigerian parents, Ope found that no matter where he travelled, it was difficult to get Nigerian food and find the local Nigerian culture. So, in 2017 he decided he should open a West African/Nigerian food restaurant in Houston. He began with private dinners and then held "restaurant takeovers" and in 2018 opened up in a food hall to great success. In 2022, the first standalone ChòpnBlọk opened.  Join RULibrary: www.restaurantunstoppable.com/RULibrary Join RULive: www.restaurantunstoppable.com/live Set Up your RUEvolve 1:1: www.restaurantunstoppable.com/evolve Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/restaurantunstoppable Subscribe to our email newsletter: https://www.restaurantunstoppable.com/ Today's sponsors: Restaurant Technologies — the leader in automated cooking oil management.

The holiday season is here and in today's episode we are talking about giving and receiving gifts in your relationship. What does this ritual mean to you and which are you more comfortable with? George and Laurie share their thoughts and some of their favorite gifts and memories over the years. Laurie suggests that partners keep a running list of their loved ones' likes so when it comes time to get a gift you already have ideas handy. It's best if gifts are thoughtful and have your partner feel seen rather than buying something just because. Intentional gift-giving can spark connection and provide lasting memories. On the other hand, gifts that don't consider your partner or create pressure can lead to a negative cycle. What is one holiday gift or ritual that makes you feel good and inspires connection? Share with us on our instagram page! We wish all our listeners a happy holiday season and thank you for your continued  support! We hope you continue to listen in the new year and celebrate as we transition to our new brand Brave Love, Great Sex! Keep it hot and ho, ho, ho, y'all!
