Laura interviews award winning writer and co-host of The Murdaugh Murders podcast Liz Farrell. Liz is played by Alicia Kelly in the hit Hulu show, Murdaugh: Death in the Family. Laura asks Liz about Paul Murdaugh's history of abuse of Morgan Doughty being excluded from the series as well as the latest developments in Alex Murdaugh's appeal filing. Laura and Liz profile other abusive and coercively controlling men including Brian Walshe who mounted a lubricous defense at his trial for the murder of Ana Walshe and Liz shares unique personal insight, having attended school with Brian. Laura highlights another potential hidden homicide – the triple deaths of Charity Beallis and her two children, and the unanswered questions surrounding the earlier death of Dr Randall Beallis first wife, Shawna Beallis.   Throughout, Laura and Liz expose how coercive control operates behind closed doors and in plain sight  - how patterns of power, dominance, and entitlement escalate, and why these warning signs are so often missed. When we understand how power and control operate, we are better equipped to protect victims and save lives. Listen. Learn the patterns. Save Lives.

The TML Risk Pool has seen far too many accidents and injuries in and around roadways. The Pool's goal is to provide tools to help Members avoid them, and we've developed a program to do just that. R.O.A.D. Ready (The acronym stands for Recognize the Hazards; Observe People, Processes, and Equipment; Assess the Risk Level; and Determine the Safest Course of Action) is a Risk Pool program designed to save lives, prevent injuries, and protect property by raising member awareness of dangers on and near roadways, and each January is designated as R.O.A.D. Ready month.  The program recently received national attention through publication in the June 2025 edition of Professional Safety, the American Society of Safety Professionals' flagship monthly journal, which covers the latest safety management and injury prevention trends. The article, written by Risk Pool Safety and Loss Control Consultants Kolby Burkhart and Manny Trejo, is titled “Improving Roadways Safety: A Practical Framework to Protect Frontline Workers.” Check out the article here and listen to this episode to hear Kolby and Manny discuss ways to keep your city R.O.A.D. Ready! The Pool extends special recognition to the following R.O.A.D. Ready month participating Members: the Lower Valley Water District and the Cities of Anthony, Mont Belvieu, Beeville, Liberty Hill, Port Neches, Nederland, Rockport, Ingleside, Portland, Jasper, Livingston, Frisco, Schertz, and Fredericksburg. FURTHER INFORMATION:R.O.A.D.

In this bonus episode of Stop the Killing, Sarah shares why she felt compelled to release this previously recorded Thanksgiving episode today — after waking to the devastating news of the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia. Early reports indicate two gunmen — a father and son — opened fire on a Jewish Hanukkah celebration. Amid the terror, a civilian, Ahmed Al Ahmed, intervened and wrestled the gun from one of the attackers, an extraordinary act of bravery that undoubtedly saved lives. His courage, and the countless other acts of heroism that day, deserve to be remembered alongside the victims of this horrific event. Following Sarah's reflection on Bondi Beach, Katherine Schweit walks listeners through the recent headlines across the United States — a stark reminder of the rise in everyday gun violence: shootings in parking lots, malls, tree-lighting ceremonies, restaurants, and road-rage encounters. These are not the mass-casualty attacks that dominate front-page news, but the far more frequent, unpredictable shootings that end lives and shatter families daily. Katherine breaks down: Why “every neighbourhood” is now potentially vulnerable How small disputes escalate into gunfire Why situational awareness is essential The dangers of anger and firearms in the same moment The toll of stress and the holiday season on suicide by firearm How we can all be part of the solution this holiday season This episode is a reminder that civilians can make a difference, heroes walk among us, and awareness — combined with empathy, grace, and responsible gun ownership — can save lives. To the victims and families affected in Bondi Beach, and to all impacted by gun violence everywhere: our hearts go out to you.

Send us a textThis episode starts with a simple truth: the holidays hit everyone differently. What unfolded during a long training run on the Ravenel Bridge turned a routine “how's it going?” into something heavier—something that demanded presence, not performance. When the night later connected to a reported suicidal person, it became clear that endurance didn't matter nearly as much as paying attention. You may not control the outcome, but one real question, asked with care, can change the direction of someone's story.Takeaways:Stop asking surface questions—ask ones that invite real answers and listen long enough to hear them.Leadership and trust grow when people feel seen, remembered, and safe telling the truth.Keep resources ready and be willing to help someone take the next step, even if it's uncomfortable.Thank you for tuning in!

Waymo, whose fully automated, self-driving cars are a common sight in Los Angeles, has recently released it's raw data on several years of practical, on-the-road traffic accidents. It turns out that even first-generation self-driving cars are at least TEN TIMES SAFER than those driven by humans (and the true number might be much more than that). From a safety point of view, the future clearly seems to favor automation. But is there more to driving a car than just safety?

There is an enormous amount of research on treatment for ADHD - pharmaceutical and otherwise. But not all of those trials, or meta-analyses, are of high quality; and not many compare the whole literature.  Now a new umbrella review - a review of reviews - tries to give a broad overview of the whole evidence base. Corentin Gosling, associate professor at the Université Paris Nanterre, joins us to set out the benefits and harms of ADHD therapies.   Also, the BMJ's been investigating the employment of doctors on “local” contracts in the NHS - and our latest look at this exposes what some have described as a “gig economy”, with doctors plugging rota gaps but missing out on training, development, and salary progression. Rebecca Coombes, head of journalism at The BMJ explains more.   Finally, Tom Frieden is former head of the US Centers for Disease Control, and current CEO of Resolve to Save Lives - he's written a new book on public health. He joins us to talk about what actually improves health at a population level, and why the current US administration's approach to staffing the CDC is leaving the country open to danger.   Reading list Benefits and harms of ADHD interventions: umbrella review and platform for shared decision making Revealed: Thousands of NHS doctors are trapped in insecure “gig economy” contracts

Healthcare innovation in cancer care often means new drugs or breakthrough therapies. But as Othman Laraki, co-founder and CEO of Color Health, explains, the most powerful impact comes from making proven tools work for everyone. In this episode, Othman shares his journey from Google and Twitter into healthcare, driven by his family's history with breast cancer. He describes how Color Health evolved from genetic testing into a full “virtual cancer clinic” that addresses screening, early detection, treatment navigation, and survivorship. We discuss the challenges of healthcare's multi-payer system, why distribution costs outweigh lab costs, and how focusing on efficiency and simplicity leads to better outcomes. Othman also reflects on the future of AI in medicine, from reducing friction in basic care to scaling clinical judgment across populations.     Music Credit: "Upbeat Corporate" by Music For Creators is licensed under CC BY (Creative Commons Attribution) via freemusicarchive.org.

What if the only way to build a restaurant worth running was to make it fun—even in crisis?Andy Shallal didn't set out to be a restaurateur. He left a stable path in medical science, waited tables to get by, and discovered something powerful: hospitality could be a vehicle for joy, justice, and deep human connection.In this episode, Andy shares how he built Busboys and Poets into a mission-driven brand that prioritizes people over profits—and why “fun” is his north star, even through economic collapse and a global pandemic.

A story about how "everyone agrees" is the most dangerous lie in SaaS.This episode is for SaaS founders frustrated watching their solution solve real problems—but wondering why no one actually buys it.Most healthcare startups don't fail because their tech doesn't work. They fail because they can't find anyone willing to pay for it.Mariano Garcia-Valiño, Founder and CEO of Axenya, spent 18 months proving his preventive care model worked clinically—reducing diabetes costs by 20% and mortality risk by 18%. Then he spent another year without selling a single dollar because insurers, hospitals, and patients all had reasons not to care enough to pay.He found the answer by buying a healthcare broker and changing who he sold to: employers in Brazil who actually bear the cost and have the timeframe to benefit from prevention.This inspired me to invite Mariano to my podcast. We explore why solving the right problem for the wrong buyer kills traction—and how changing your business model changes who cares. Mariano shares how he rejected the obvious paths (selling to insurers, doctors, or patients) and instead built a broker model that aligns incentives with outcomes. You'll discover why clinical proof means nothing without economic urgency.We also zoom in on three of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies:Acknowledge you cannot please everyoneMaster the art of curiosityAim to be different, not just betterMariano's story is proof that the best solution dies without the right buyer—and why changing your business model, not your product could be the easy way out.Here's one of Mariano's quotes that captures the challenge he faced:"It's one thing to actually see the problem and find a technical solution for the problem. It's a different thing to deploy it in the right place within a very complex value chain that has a lot of incentives that are not well aligned."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:Why solving a highly valuable and critical problem alone won't create a market without economic incentive alignmentWhat happens when you build for huge global humanity problems instead of expensive local onesWhy focusing on who pays reveals better opportunities than focusing on who usesHow buying your distribution channel creates stickiness competitors can't copyFor more information about the guest from this week:Guest: Mariano Garcia-Valiño, Founder and CEO at Axenya Website: axenya.com

What if the biggest risks in maternal care are not just clinical, but cultural? We dig into the hard truth that speaking up can feel risky, pain during cesarean is often underestimated, and rare obstetric crises can overwhelm memory. From there, we chart a path toward safer births with practical tools that any team can use: psychological safety to unlock communication, structured pre‑briefs and rapid debriefs, and cognitive aids that turn chaos into coordinated action.We walk through the lived reality of intraoperative pain—why negative skin tests don't guarantee visceral coverage, how fear of general anesthesia can delay needed care, and the downstream consequences for bonding, breastfeeding, and mental health. You'll hear clear, patient‑centered steps: standard sensory assessment, explicit pain check‑ins, decisive treatment or conversion when indicated, and honest conversations that validate experience. The message is simple and urgent: pain is preventable harm, and timely action saves more than minutes—it protects families.Readiness matters beyond big hospitals. Rural teams face OB unit closures, low volumes, and limited resources. Mobile simulation and statewide programs show how to keep skills sharp for postpartum hemorrhage, eclampsia, and high‑risk transfers. We also highlight the Four Ps for anesthesia professionals—presence, preemption, proficiency, and platform—to embed safety into daily practice, from risk screening to standardized pathways. Finally, we extend the safety net into the community with sepsis bundles and accessible education so patients and their support networks recognize warning signs and act fast. Along the way, we touch on pediatric safety and emerging evidence that EEG‑guided anesthesia can reduce emergence delirium.If transforming maternal care speaks to you, join us.

What happens when artificial intelligence meets the everyday heroes of local government? That's the question driving my conversation with Justin Dennis, co-founder and COO of Urban SDK, a geospatial AI company helping more than 250 North American cities make faster, safer, and smarter decisions. Justin shares how a Smart Cities Challenge from the U.S. Department of Transportation inspired him to co-found Urban SDK in 2018, and why he believes the future of public safety depends on replacing manual data collection with real-time intelligence. From traffic fatalities to hurricane recovery, he explains how the company's HALO platform gives local leaders and emergency responders the insights they need to act before crises escalate. In a single platform, they can identify dangerous road zones, predict high-risk intersections, coordinate clean-up operations, and rebuild infrastructure based on data rather than guesswork. We also explore how AI is quietly reshaping government operations, from disaster management to traffic enforcement. Justin discusses the challenges of introducing cutting-edge technology into systems that still rely on spreadsheets and siloed workflows. Yet his optimism is clear. He believes governments are beginning to embrace AI not as a buzzword but as a practical tool to save time, resources, and lives. As one Florida community recently reported a 40 percent drop in traffic fatalities, the impact is already measurable. Urban SDK's story is about technology meeting public service with purpose. So as we enter another year of rapid AI progress, how can data-driven insights continue to empower local leaders to protect citizens and improve quality of life? And what could your city achieve if every decision were powered by real-time intelligence? Share your thoughts after the episode.

What really happens when you stand or sit up straight? More than you think. Posture affects your body and your mind in surprising ways. This episode begins with the science-backed benefits of tuning in to your posture. Source: https://www.medicaldaily.com/pulse/why-you-should-stand-straight-benefits-good-posture-345598 What's most likely to kill you—and what can you actually do about it? That's the urgent and practical question we explore with Dr. Tom Frieden, former Director of the CDC under President Obama and now CEO of Resolve to Save Lives. Dr. Frieden shares the latest science on the biggest threats to your health and longevity, and the powerful steps you can take to dramatically improve your odds. He's also the author of The Formula for Better Health: How to Save Millions of Lives—Including Your Own (https://amzn.to/4gqvMSN). Why do we treat pets, stuffed animals, and even our cars as if they were human? Anthropomorphism—projecting human qualities onto non-human things—happens across every culture on earth. But why do we do it? Is there an upside? Can it cause harm? My guest Justin Gregg, senior research associate with the Dolphin Communication Project and adjunct professor at St. Francis Xavier University, unpacks the fascinating psychology behind this universal human trait. He's also the author of Humanish: What Talking to Your Cat or Naming Your Car Reveals About the Uniquely Human Need to Humanize (https://amzn.to/4miASSg). And finally—why are we so easy to scam? Almost everyone has been tricked or swindled at some point - even the smartest among us has fallen for a clever con. We'll look at why that is, and what it reveals about the way our minds work. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cutting-edge-leadership/201109/the-5-reasons-we-get-suckered-and-ripped-off PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

 Trump picked RFK Jr. to take over the Department of Health and Human Services, and chaos has ensued. So far, RFK Jr. is ignoring the advice of experts and bringing along his cronies to push vaccine skepticism. It could have a devastating impact on the health of Americans for years to come. We're joined by Former CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden, who currently heads global health organization Resolve to Save Lives, and MSNBC senior enterprise reporter Brandy Zadrozny, who has covered RFK Jr. for over a decade. Together we discuss the dangers that RFK Jr. poses to Americans' health and how the “MAHA” movement is NOT making America healthy again. We also talk through Trump and RFK Jr.'s latest announcement declaring Tylenol a contributing factor in the rise of autism, despite numerous studies saying otherwise.
