Discover the chilling reality of illegal Chinese bio labs operating on U.S. soil and why these facilities represent a sophisticated threat to national security. This episode of the P.A.S. Report features retired FBI Supervisory Intel Analyst George Hill, who exposes the dangerous intersection of biological agents, foreign funding, and domestic disruption. As federal agencies receive billions in funding and remain silent, it was a local housing inspector who uncovered a high-level laboratory containing pathogens like Ebola and COVID-19 hidden in plain sight. Professor Nick Giordano and George Hill also examine the emergence of organized, insurgency-style movements, government complacency, and the political class's failure to respond to escalating threats. What You'll Learn Understand how Chinese bio labs in the U.S. create biological and strategic national security risks Discover why biological agents can function as weapons of mass disruption without traditional warfare Explore how foreign-funding and our tax dollars are being funneled to NGOs fueling domestic political instability Identify the warning signs of insurgency-style coordination across multiple U.S. cities Hear why current domestic tensions more closely resemble the Russian Bolshevik revolution than the civil unrest of the 1960s As geopolitical tensions rise and internal divisions deepen, vigilance and accountability are no longer optional. Listen now for a serious analysis of the threats facing the republic and what it means for America's future.

In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam and Lucas take a deep dive into one of the fastest-growing corners of real estate right now—private lending.They break down why private lending is exploding in popularity, what's driving both borrowers and lenders toward it, and why so many people view it as a “safe” alternative to owning rental properties. But they don't stop there. The guys also unpack where that perception can go wrong, the risk factors most people overlook, and the points in the cycle where private lending can quietly become more dangerous than advertised.They walk through how to structure private lending the right way—covering terms, collateral, loan-to-value discipline, reserves, and relationship management—so that it's actually protected capital instead of just high-interest hope. They also have an honest discussion about whether private lending is truly better than owning rentals, or if it simply serves a different purpose depending on your goals, risk tolerance, and stage of investing.To close things out, they recap NBA All-Star Weekend, sharing what stood out (good and bad), and then shift gears to react to the Daytona 500, breaking down the biggest moments and storylines from one of racing's biggest stages.From smart capital deployment to sports recaps, this episode blends tactical real estate insight with the laid-back conversations you've come to expect from the show.Join our FREE real estate community on Skool: https://www.skool.com/relaunchFasterFreedom Capital Connection: ⁠https://fasterfreedomcapital.com⁠Free Rental Investment Training: ⁠https://freerentalwebinar.com

Aaron Werner, Brianna Rhue, and first-time Book Nerds guest Dr. Ben Thayil unpack Seth Godin's Tribes through the lens of real-world practice leadership. They explore what separates leaders from managers, why tribes thrive on member-to-member communication, and how fear is often less about failure and more about blame. The conversation digs into innovation timing (and the penalty for being late), practical ways to evaluate risk, and how to empower teams through delegation, alignment, and freedom to make mistakes—plus tactical takeaways like daily KPI texts, the “rope theory,” and a simple question to spark ownership: What change do you want to lead, and why?

Teenagers are riding at 70km/h with no helmets. Police are investigating. Communities are furious. Parents are terrified. E-bikes are everywhere — and the debate is explosive. Is this about reckless teens? Bad laws? Or something far closer to home? In this episode, Dr Justin Colson from the Happy Families podcast unpacks the real issue behind the headlines. It’s not just about e-bikes. It’s about freedom, responsibility, and the parenting conversations we’re either having… or avoiding. Because banning them won’t fix it.But shrugging won’t either. If you’ve got a risk-taking teen — or one who soon will — this is a conversation you need to hear. KEY POINTS Freedom without responsibility becomes a free-for-all Risk is essential for development — recklessness is not Pedal-assist bikes and throttle bikes are not the same Legislation won’t solve what parenting must address Teens chase status, thrill and belonging — not danger The real missing ingredient is consideration QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Freedom isn’t the same as a free-for-all. The real issue isn’t the e-bike — it’s whether we’re teaching our kids what freedom requires.” ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Have the deeper conversation.Not just “be careful.” Ask: Who could you hurt? What does sharing space mean? Differentiate risk from recklessness.Climbing trees builds capability. Blowing through traffic signals destroys trust. Talk about invisible impact.Help them imagine the pedestrian, the driver, the nurse in emergency. Channel thrill safely.Structured sport, competitions and supervised challenges can meet the same need. Stay connected.Consequences matter — but relationship influence matters more.

Estimating isn't just math—it's how contractors decide which risks they're willing to own. In this episode of the Construction Genius Podcast, Eric Anderton talks with Chris Clausing, Director of Program and Curriculum Innovation for Construction at Colibri Group, about why estimating is still more art than science—and why contractors consistently miss the risk margin that protects profit. Drawing on 25 years as a commercial general contractor, Chris explains how regional differences, niche discipline, poor handoffs, and earned value blind spots quietly erode margins. They also discuss how AI can help identify estimating risks—if it's adopted thoughtfully. If you've ever won work that you later wished you hadn't, this episode will change how you think about estimating.  

Frank Weisser is a two-time Blue Angels Pilot who was deployed in combat three separate times, including to Afghanistan and Iraq. He has accumulated more than 5,000 flight hours and nearly 500 carrier arrested landings. His decorations include multiple Meritorious Service Medals, Strike Flight Air Medals and various personal and unit awards. Because of his experience flying at extreme low altitudes and inverted, he was the pilot for the most complex and memorable air combat scenes in Top Gun: Maverick. His book is titled Lead Solo: Learning Life's Vectors from an F/A-18 Blue Angel Aviator.  Summary Frank Weisser's career sits at a rare intersection: Navy fighter pilot, two-time Blue Angels pilot, combat deployments, and the low-altitude stunt flying that helped make Top Gun: Maverick feel real. Early in the conversation, Frank reframes what looks like "crazy risk" from the outside into a disciplined craft: aviation is inherently dangerous, but the real skill is identifying known risks and systematically mitigating them through the right people, the right preparation, and the right standards.   The episode then rewinds to a formative disappointment: Frank entered the Naval Academy intent on becoming a SEAL, didn't get selected, and had to confront a painful identity-level failure. What changed his trajectory wasn't a new goal, but a reframing of motivation from "how I serve" to "that I serve," even if the role wasn't what he originally wanted. That lesson becomes a through-line for everything that follows: mission first, ego second, and meaning found in the sacrifice itself.   From there, Frank breaks down what makes the Blue Angels such a high-functioning team. "Glad to be here" isn't a slogan; it's a culture-building mechanism rooted in gratitude, humility, and the idea that the work is bigger than the individual. The team reinforces that culture through small, repeatable behaviors and through the "great equalizer" effect of an environment that demands confidence without cockiness.   Finally, the conversation translates elite aviation into practical leadership. Frank shares specific approaches to focus (compartmentalizing distractions), decision-making under pressure (the discipline to "underreact in the extreme"), trust-building (earned trust through vulnerability and consistency), and learning velocity (a debrief culture that prioritizes what went wrong so tomorrow gets better). Woven through it all is his definition of excellence: pushing past comfort, taking measured risks, being willing to fail, and then rebuilding smarter.   Takeaways ·        Risk isn't eliminated in high-stakes work; it's acknowledged upfront and managed through preparation, expertise, and process. ·        "Mission first" is a practical operating system, not a motivational poster. It keeps ego from quietly taking over. ·        Gratitude can be engineered into culture through small rituals, and those rituals compound into trust and performance. ·        Confidence is required, but cockiness is actively corrected by a team that refuses to let anyone go rogue. ·        Compartmentalization is a skill: name the distraction, surface it with the team when needed, then "do not disturb" your mind for the task. ·        When you're solo, focus comes back to priorities: stop saying "I didn't have time" and tell the truth about what wasn't a priority. ·        Fear shrinks when you're properly prepared: know the systems, memorize the critical failures, rehearse in simulation, then execute. ·        The best operators train themselves to underreact. Even one second of composure can be the difference between solving the right problem and making it worse. ·        Trust is built fastest through earned vulnerability and consistency, not "blind trust." ·        Excellence, in Frank's words, is helping yourself and others attempt what feels out of reach, being willing to fail, and restarting with better intelligence.   Notes: Book: Lead Solo: Learning Life's Vectors from an F/A-18 Blue Angel Aviator Frank Weisser leadership consulting: https://frankweisser.net/  

Liquid Death reached a $1.4 billion valuation selling water in cans. Meanwhile, banks spent $500 billion on transformation last year and still struggle to stand out. The gap isn't money - it's courage. Most banks are still designed to protect the status quo. Risk avoidance dominates, small changes are called progress, and true creativity rarely makes it through the internal process to reach customers. Challenger brands like Liquid Death don't win because they spend more or market louder. They win because they decide who they're for, what to stand for, and how to build a culture that supports being a challenger, even when it creates discomfort. I'm joined by Eric Fulwiler, co-founder and CEO of Rival. We discuss their recent study of the top 50 challenger brands and what makes them distinctive. We also uncover what has to change if financial institutions want to stand out instead of blending in.

How do you build a mission-driven brand that survives beyond a single personality - and still create real enterprise value? On this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, I speak with Bob Bush, founder and CEO of Mutombo Coffee, about building a purpose-driven specialty coffee company rooted in relationships, disciplined execution, and long-term thinking. Bob traces the origin of Mutombo Coffee from his friendship with NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo to the development of a “commerce over charity” model designed to create sustainable economic opportunity - particularly for women coffee farmers. Drawing on his background in finance and supply chain management, Bob explains how operational discipline and mission alignment must coexist if a social enterprise is going to scale. We discuss: Launching a consumer brand during COVID and the realities of supply chain disruption Managing key-person risk following Dikembe Mutombo's passing The operational complexity of international sourcing and distribution Leadership lessons for founders building mission-centered businesses Aligning profit with purpose without compromising either Bob also shares the evolution of the product strategy - from single-serve sachets and K-Cups to stroopwafels and espresso martini offerings - along with partnerships that have supported growth, including the Houston Rockets and Temple University. This conversation offers practical insight for business owners and management teams navigating growth, brand identity, and enterprise resilience. It's a case study in building sustainable systems, listening to customers, and proving that purpose and profitability are not mutually exclusive - but must be intentionally engineered.

In this episode of Clothing Coulture, hosts Bret Schnitker and Emily Lane break down why fashion brands must rethink their economic strategies for 2026 as growth slows and costs rise. Instead of chasing volume and expansion, they argue the new winning playbook is margin protection, operational efficiency, and resilience. They explore how consumer behavior is shifting toward fewer purchases, higher quality, and stronger alignment with brand values, pushing companies to rethink pricing, storytelling, and product strategy. The conversation covers practical ways to improve profitability without cutting quality, including smarter assortment planning, tighter SKU counts, supplier negotiation, and better demand forecasting to reduce overproduction and markdowns. The episode also highlights the rise of seasonless collections, modular design, and smaller, more frequent drops as strategies that reduce inventory risk while keeping customers engaged. Bret and Emily close with a reminder that long-term success in 2026 will come from building systems, empowering mid-level teams, and staying focused on adaptability instead of growth for growth's sake.

In this insightful episode, Asheley Blaise delves into the concept of "Dignity of Risk," exploring its crucial role in the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities.

Cyber and AI risks are no longer confined to IT departments. They directly impact strategy, trust, reputation, and long-term business sustainability. Yet many boards and executives still struggle to translate technical risk into meaningful business insight. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Adeel Shaikh Muhammad about how business leaders can better understand, govern, and manage cyber and AI risks — without getting lost in technical complexity.  During the conversation, we explore: Why cyber risk today is fundamentally a business, trust, and reputation issue — not just a technical problem The most common misconceptions boards and executives have about cybersecurity and AI governance; How AI is expanding organizational risk exposure and reshaping how risk must be managed What non-technical leaders should look for to assess whether their organization is truly resilient; Why trust is becoming a competitive advantage — and how cyber resilience and AI governance directly influence brand value and sustainability; Practical, low-complexity steps organizations can take today to improve accountability, decision-making, and resilience From a leadership and governance perspective, what will separate successful organizations from those that struggle in the next 3–5 years. This episode is designed for board members, C-suite executives, risk managers, CISOs, compliance leaders, and anyone responsible for navigating cyber and AI risk at the strategic level. If you want to move from technical confusion to confident, business-focused risk leadership — this conversation is for you.

Across the grain industry, facility leaders are navigating a level of uncertainty we haven't seen in years. Volatile commodity markets. Weather extremes. Labor shortages. Tighter margins. Rising expectations around safety, uptime, and quality.In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz sits down with Matt Koch, Chief Marketing Officer at Sukup Manufacturing Co., to explore what it really takes to operate a modern grain facility in today's unpredictable environment.From macro market pressures and geopolitical shifts to storage strategy, grain conditioning risk, and practical automation, this conversation moves beyond equipment to systems thinking. Matt shares a global perspective from working with producers, commercial elevators, terminals, and processors across more than 100 countries.The takeaway? Long-term success isn't just about buying low and selling high. It's about reducing loss, designing resilient systems, and operating dependably—year after year.What You'll Learn• Why many operators are shifting from short-term optimization to 3–7 year strategic planning • How global trade, energy markets, and geopolitics are shaping grain infrastructure decisions • Why storage is becoming a strategic lever—not just capacity • The hidden risks of large-bin consolidation and long-term storage • How under-designed aeration systems quietly erode margins • Why CO₂ monitoring often detects grain issues before temperature spikes • What meaningful automation actually looks like in commercial facilities • How modular OEM automation systems can improve safety and consistency • Why preventing loss often matters more than market timingKey ThemesStorage as StrategyWell-designed storage allows operators to create market flexibility, improve throughput, standardize multi-site operations, and reduce management complexity. Scale has changed the game—and infrastructure must evolve with it.Grain Conditioning RiskAs bins grow larger, risk grows with them. Consolidated storage requires tighter monitoring. CO₂ levels, moisture control, proper fan management, and active oversight are critical to protecting grain value over long-term storage cycles.Automation for Real-World OperationsAutomation isn't about flashy control rooms. It's about preventing operator error at 2:00 a.m., improving safety, supporting lean teams, and ensuring consistent procedures across facilities.Loss Prevention Over SpeculationWhile commodity markets drive headlines, operational discipline drives profitability. Reducing spoilage, minimizing downtime, and designing dependable systems may be the most powerful competitive advantage.Learn more at: www.sukup.comGrain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Innovation spans many areas, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode,  host Tom Fox interviews Matt Kunkel, CEO and Co-Founder at LogicGate, about the company's governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform and current market trends. Matt recounts his path into regulatory risk and compliance work that led to founding LogicGate and launching its Risk Cloud platform in 2015. A major focus is AI governance. Tom and Matt explore how and why senior management is asking compliance teams to provide governance frameworks despite the absence of a single standard (e.g., NIST/ISO/SOC). Matt explains organizations need scalable processes to triage and route large volumes of AI usage requests, apply guardrails based on data sensitivity and criticality, and avoid becoming a bottleneck to innovation. He emphasizes training and culture to address employee misuse, highlighting risks of exposing proprietary data and the need to define what information is acceptable to input into AI models. The discussion turns to LogicGate's culture and how it has been sustained during rapid, organic growth (no acquisitions). Matt outlines LogicGate's six values: Be as One, Embrace Your Curiosity, Empower Customers, Raise the Bar, Own It, and Do the Right Thing. For evaluating AI and modernizing compliance programs, he frames value in three outcomes: making money, reducing costs, or reducing risk, and describes LogicGate's value realization framework that translates efficiency and ROI into business terms. He also describes Risk Cloud as an orchestration layer for compliance programs and anticipates more “intentional AI” and selective use of agentic capabilities rather than fully autonomous end-to-end program execution. Key highlights: From Consulting to GRC: Coding, Madoff Investigation, and Founding LogicGate Why AI Is Supercharging the “G” in GRC LogicGate's Culture Playbook: Values That Scale with Hypergrowth How to Evaluate AI Tools in Compliance: Proving Value, ROI, and “Intentional AI” Cybersecurity in 2026: AI-Powered Social Engineering, Deepfakes, and Risk Mapping What's Next for GRC by 2030: Agents, Responsible AI, and Tech as the Glue Resources: Matt Kunkel on LinkedIn LogicGate Innovation in Compliance was recently ranked Number 4 in Risk Management by 1,000,000 Podcasts.

Well, even though low dose aspirin has been recommended for the reduction of preeclampsia risk for many years, 2 controversies persist: 1. who should get it, and 2. the dose we should use. While the current US recommendation still focuses on 81 mg low dose aspirin, initiated after 12 weeks of gestation (based on risk factors), there's increased movement and growing data supporting both universal adoption and the higher dose of 162 mg. In this episode, we will briefly summarize brand new data out of UT Southwestern which was just published at the SMFM Annual Pregnancy meeting in Las Vegas.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Joe Ferraro, host of the One Percent Better podcast and a coach who helps leaders have stronger conversations when the stakes are high. If you lead projects, you know how quickly a meeting, a status update, or a feedback moment can either build trust or quietly drain it. Joe shares small, practical moves that make conversations more memorable and more useful. You will hear why being "good at talking" is not the same as being good at conversation, and how preparation can be a generous act toward the other person. They also discuss how to avoid default, predictable questions, how to turn a one-way presentation into something more interactive, and how to keep your composure when you feel defensive. Joe even offers a simple technique for pressure testing ideas without starting a fight, plus a listening cue you can use the next time you feel tempted to jump in. If you're looking for insights on having better conversations that save projects and strengthen relationships, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "And you know what's a great barometer there is for people listening to ask themselves on a daily basis? How many questions do they ask?" "But the reality is a generous conversation is one where you're prepared." "And the easiest path, the simplest path is to ask more questions and then listen, like your life depends on it." "The human ear driving, or on the treadmill or in a board meeting doesn't want to hear the same length answer every time from Andy or Joe or Sheila." "If you feel like you're bursting at the seams and you need to share something, that's when you know to hold it in and to focus on them." "I teach people the technique of inserting devil's advocate, where you, you don't wanna necessarily become the villain, but you say, you know, Andy, you know, it's a great point." "But when I go back to, to Mitch Albom one time, he paused seven seconds before I asked him, before he answered the question." "If you have a recorded conversation, simply ask it to pull out every question that was asked." "My favorite question to ask is the one that I think will elicit the best response for what I'm interested in learning in this moment."

Agentic AI is being deployed as production infrastructure in enterprise settings, but prevailing frameworks remain unreliable for mission-critical operations. Dave Sobel and Ron Aroussi from Muxie underscored that while AI agents are functional—especially in non-deterministic contexts like customer support—expectations of deterministic, workflow-based reliability are not met. The move from demonstration agents to production-scale tools brings heightened attention to issues of reliability, observability, and especially risk of vendor lock-in for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their clients.Operational deployment of AI agents currently gravitates toward roles with minimal operational risk, such as customer-facing chatbots or internal chief-of-staff assistants. Aroussi explained that while such agents can automate initial support tiers and internal daily briefings, their unpredictability and potential for error limit their use in processes demanding strict oversight and accountability. He identified two core use cases—external (customer support) and internal (personalized information management)—explicitly noting that agents are best positioned to augment rather than fully automate complex workflows at this stage.A critical risk for MSPs lies in attempting to retrofit existing software frameworks to support agents, which introduces integration complexity and increases the likelihood of operational failures. Purpose-built infrastructure for agentic AI offers better alignment between AI capabilities and production requirements, with Aroussi citing drastically reduced hallucination rates and improved oversight when using native tools. Open source is identified as a foundational element for AI development, but it incurs its own risks, particularly around third-party code quality and the long-term sustainability of community-driven projects.The practical implication for MSPs and IT service providers is clear: a cautious, incremental adoption approach focused on low-risk use cases, coupled with rigorous controls on agent permissions and robust audit trails, is essential. Decision-makers should avoid assuming agents operate with the reliability or accountability of traditional software, prioritize operational transparency, and ensure that responsibilities for agent actions are clearly defined and enforced at the implementation level. Vendor lock-in and software provenance remain significant governance concerns as agentic AI moves from experiment to infrastructure.

t's easy to judge from the couch. It's harder to compete in the arena. The question is which one you want to be. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor breaks down powerful lessons from the Winter Olympics and what they reveal about competition, criticism, and courage. Watching elite athletes perform at the highest level makes one thing clear: there are countless ways to be great. Some sports may not make sense to you. Some events may look strange or unfamiliar. But at the highest level, everything is competitive. Everything has a degree of difficulty. And every gold medal weighs the same. Baylor challenges listeners to stop minimizing their own gifts. You don't have to be an Olympian, but you do have to decide what you want to be great at. The world rewards excellence in any field, if you're willing to pursue it. The bigger takeaway, however, is about criticism. It's easy to be an armchair judge. It's easy to critique, meme, or downplay someone else's performance from the comfort of your couch. But there's a massive difference between commenting and competing. Baylor explains why he'd rather be the one in the arena being critiqued than the one on the sidelines offering opinions. Because growth only happens in the arena. Momentum only happens in the arena. Using Lindsey Vonn as an example, Baylor highlights the mindset of someone willing to compete despite overwhelming odds. Torn ACL. High speeds. Risk of injury. She chose to go for it anyway. And while the outcome wasn't perfect, the spirit behind it is what matters. At some point, you have to decide if you're content analyzing others, or if you're willing to step into the arena yourself and chase gold in your own lane. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why there are countless ways to be great The danger of becoming an "armchair judge" Why criticism is easier than competition The value of being compared among the best What the arena teaches you that the sidelines never will Why chasing excellence requires risk Featured Quote "I'd rather be in the arena getting critiqued than on the sidelines giving opinions."

This Saturday, Brian and Jeremiah dig into a timely and controversial topic: self-representation in real estate. Using a real client example, they explore why some buyers and sellers are bypassing traditional agents, how commission structures affect negotiations, and when professional representation truly adds value, especially in complex or high-stakes transactions. The conversation expands into the broader real estate industry, MLS practices, and whether technology and AI are beginning to disrupt long-standing models. The show also tackles a critical investing issue: overconcentration risk. Through real-world stories, from individual stock success to catastrophic losses, the hosts explain how having too much money tied to a single company, property, or asset can quietly put long-term financial security at risk, even when things appear to be working. Rounding out the episode, Brian and Jeremiah revisit the BetterBuckets™ strategy and explain how separating money into protection, income, and growth buckets helps investors stay disciplined during market volatility. They discuss income-producing options, dividend stocks versus bond funds, yield traps to avoid, and why focusing on purpose rather than headlines leads to better long-term outcomes.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Hosts: Brian Wiley & Jeremiah Bates ————————————————————— Ataraxis PEO https://ataraxispeo.com Tree City Advisors of Apollon: https://www.treecityadvisors.com Apollon Wealth Management: https://apollonwealthmanagement.com/ —————————————————————

During Carnival week in Brazil, Ricardo connects celebration with project management. Carnival, one of the world's largest cultural events, symbolizes creativity, energy, discipline, and months of preparation. Behind the music and parades lies structured planning, budgeting, rehearsals, and well-defined roles—just like in projects. However, in professional life, teams often move from one milestone to another without celebrating achievements. Projects demand resilience, discipline, and sacrifice, and each victory deserves recognition. Celebrating is not a waste of time; it's emotional fuel. It reinforces positive behaviors, strengthens the sense of belonging, reduces burnout, and highlights progress. Just like in Carnival, successful projects deliver results and build stronger, more motivated teams along the way. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Have you seen this viral eBay scam? We dive deep into the latest and scariest threat facing online sellers: the rise of AI-generated scam photos. Buyers are using artificial intelligence to create convincing images of "damaged" items to demand refunds, even keeping the original, undamaged product—sometimes even sending back a random item like a VHS tape or a box of pasta!We discuss the viral sports card scam example, the frustrations of dealing with unhelpful customer service, and why the current system unfairly sides with new buyer accounts over established sellers. Plus, we compare eBay's high transaction fees (which can exceed 18% when all costs are factored in) with the lower-fee, higher-trust model of alternative marketplaces like BrickLink.What are your experiences?

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich discusses colostrum management programs with Dr. Lisa Gamsjäger, Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University.  This episode of Have You Herd? is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and the PYRAMID(R) line of vaccines, a premier choice to protect calves from BRD. Get relentless protection at PyramidVaccines.com. According to research studies, approximately 30% of beef calves have failure of passive transfer and are below 10 g/L of IgG. These calves are 8x more likely to have a disease and 19x more likely to experience mortality. There may be some fundamental differences in colostrum for beef calves, and management strategies between the two production systems are vastly different which can present unique challenges for beef producers. Veterinarians are in a unique position to provide consultation to their beef clients to be prepared to intervene with assistance and/or providing a colostrum replacement product. We discuss a study that examined various feeding protocols of colostrum replacer and its impacts on passive transfer, morbidity, mortality and average daily gains. We also discuss areas for future research on beef calf colostrum management and replacement products. Veterinarians should prepare their clients for the upcoming calving season to ensure that calves receive appropriate passive transfer of immunity by proactively discussing these strategies. References:Gamsjäger L, Haines DM, Pajor EA, Lévy M, Windeyer MC.

Hi loves! Welcome in to another episode!  We are behing this month due to some Family weddings and unexpected passing away of loved ones.   Today we bring you a Trafficking Today: What Women Need to Know to Stay Safe Before we begin today's episode, we want to share a brief content note. This episode includes discussion of sex trafficking, kidnapping, and threats to women's safety. While we do not go into graphic detail, these topics may be activating or emotionally heavy for some listeners. We encourage you to listen in a way that feels safe for you. That may mean taking breaks, listening with someone you trust, or choosing to skip this episode entirely. Your well-being comes first. If at any point you feel overwhelmed, it's okay to pause or step away. This conversation is intended to inform, empower, and protect—not to create fear. Such a hard conversation that is all around the world today.  We discuss what this looks like, why strangers are a real risk and how they approach and high risk locations Be aware of your surroundings, if your gut is screaming it isnt right...it isnt right.  Speak loudly and protect yourself.  We are taught, as women, to stay small, to smile and be "sweet" as Abbie says many times.  This is not the time to be sweet, get away, listen to your gut and yell, scream and you do not owe anyone any explanation High-risk locations include: Parking garages and parking lots Gas stations Airports and transit hubs Hotels and motels Public bathrooms Elevators and stairwells Crowded events Rideshare pickup areas Risk increases when: It's dark or early morning You're alone You're distracted by your phone You're wearing headphones You're traveling You're visibly stressed or emotional or you have been drinking. Traffickers use date rape drugs that are odorless, colorless and tasteless.  These cause memory loss, confusion and inabilityy to fight back, making it very easy for them to abduct you. We go further and talk about common red flags, tactics and so much more.  Please listen in if you can and share it, talk about it, discuss it.  We love you, please be safe! XOXOXOXO

Durante a semana do Carnaval no Brasil, Ricardo relaciona celebração e gestão de projetos. O Carnaval, uma das maiores manifestações culturais do mundo, simboliza criatividade, energia, disciplina e meses de preparação. Por trás da música e dos desfiles existe planejamento estruturado, orçamento, ensaios e papéis bem definidos — assim como nos projetos. Porém, na vida profissional, as equipes frequentemente passam de um marco a outro sem celebrar conquistas. Projetos exigem resiliência, disciplina e sacrifício, e cada vitória merece reconhecimento. Celebrar não é perda de tempo; é combustível emocional. Reforça comportamentos positivos, fortalece o senso de pertencimento, reduz o esgotamento e evidencia o progresso. Assim como no Carnaval, projetos bem-sucedidos entregam resultados e constroem equipes mais fortes e motivadas ao longo da jornada. Escute o podcast para saber mais!

In The Risk Is Worth the Reward, we walk through Matthew 9:18–34 at a turning point in Jesus' ministry. After His formal rejection by the religious establishment, Jesus shifts His strategy. He no longer calls Israel to national repentance. Public signs are reduced to the sign of Jonah. Miracles now require personal faith. He teaches in parables and maintains a policy of silence regarding His Messianic identity until after the resurrection. To associate with Jesus at this stage meant risking expulsion from the synagogue system. Under synagogue discipline—Hezipah, Niddui, or even Cherem—a person could be rebuked, cast out, or permanently cut off from the community. Jairus, the bleeding woman, the two blind men, and the mute man all risked social and spiritual exile to come to Christ. They defied the system to receive life. Their physical afflictions pointed to deeper spiritual need. The world system cannot restore marriages, heal broken consciences, free people from sin, or raise what is dead inside. It declares things irreversible and beyond hope. But Jesus demonstrates resurrection power. Faith in Messiah becomes an act of defiance against a system built on accusation, condemnation, and outward appearance. This message calls believers to refuse the system's verdict of hopelessness. Mercy is found in Christ alone. His authority threatens systems that survive by control and accusation. The risk of following Him may be great—but the reward is life, restoration, and eternal freedom.
