https://linktr.ee/csjosephWhat's up, Ego Hackers? Welcome to the CS Joseph Podcast. In this episode, CS Joseph breaks down why Subconscious Developed Men (SDM) are often cowards and "do-nothing" men in their youth — outsourcing judgment to the collective, embracing groupthink, and creating dangerous echo chambers and mob mentality. Discover the healthiest Subconscious Developed Perceiving Male (SDPM / SDSF joy-oriented men) who excel at sensing danger, building status, and creating beauty as artists and architects. But when SD men dominate society, warriors (Unconscious Developed Men) pay the ultimate price, as seen in the Battle of Thermopylae with King Leonidas and the 300 Spartans.CS Joseph shares raw personal stories, including bar confrontations with hubris-filled SD men, backbiting, saving lives only to face groupthink attacks, family dynamics, and why UD men are statistically more masculine, invested in their children, and likely to survive hard times.Learn the dangers of common sense as "common ignorance," playing it safe, vibe checks over truth, and how SD men rely on preexisting ideas instead of original insight. Are we doomed if they're the majority?Drop a comment: Are you (or the men around you) Subconscious Developed or Unconscious Developed? What's your take on groupthink and masculinity?

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Jeff to tackle one of the most time-sensitive and under-appreciated threats in tactical and austere medicine: anoxic brain injury. They break down exactly what it is, how fast it can progress from unnoticed hypoxia to devastating outcomes, and why the MARCH algorithm plus aggressive prevention of secondary injury are your most powerful tools when oxygen and resources are limited.Key Takeaways:Anoxic brain injury exists on a spectrum — brief drops in SpO2 can cause real damage, and recovery (when it happens) can take days, weeks, months, or even years of rehab.The landmark Arizona pre-post TBI study showed hypoxia and hypotension each increase mortality 2–3×; combined they increase it 5–6×. Updated analysis reveals harm begins at SpO2

On this episode of The Mark White Show, I'm welcoming two families whose stories remind us of the importance of protecting and valuing life. First, Julie Garner, founder of the Yellow Light Project, shares how the loss of her 16-year-old son, Hunter, inspired a nationwide effort to combat distracted driving through creative scholarship competitions and public service campaigns aimed at young drivers. Then, Jason Nelson, Estell Reams, and their son, Camden, discuss their journey with Type 1 diabetes, the challenges their family has faced, and the hope they have for a life-changing treatment that could improve Camden's quality of life. From preventing tragedy on the road to fighting for a brighter future for a child, these stories highlight courage, advocacy, and the power of turning adversity into action. Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™️

In this heart-warming episode, Jeff talks to Fadi Dekaidek, an Arab Muslim from Beit Hanina in East Jerusalem and learns his incredible story about becoming part of Israel's emergency medical system, Magen David Adom (MDA). When Jewish medics from MDA were saving the life of Fadi's father, Sameer, Sameer's words to his son changed the trajectory of his life: ‘I want from you one thing: to be like these people, to learn to save lives, to live like the Israeli community. You know the Jewish people; they are good people. If I'm still alive, I want to see you like them: a good man.”  Fadi went on to become the first Arab from East Jerusalem to join MDA and has saved countless lives ever since. The light he has brought back into his community in East Jerusalem is inspiring.  And the incredible community of Jews, Muslims and Christians that work on his team tells a different and hopeful narrative that contradicts what mainstream Media conveys. About Magen David Adom (MDA):MDA is Israel's emergency services system. A leader in mass-casualty response and EMS technology, Magen David Adom treats and transports more than one million people to hospitals every year; collects, tests, and distributes blood to Israel's hospitals; and responds to disasters around the world.

#405: Changing and saving lives!! Part two

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis sits down with David Plaster — former U.S. Army combat nurse, medic, and 68 Delta who has lived and worked in Ukraine since 2012, long before the full-scale invasion. David pulls back the curtain on one of the most remarkable stories in modern tactical medicine: how Ukraine built resilient, dispersed, underground manufacturing networks for hemostatic gauze and tourniquets when conventional supply chains collapsed or became targets.From the very first improvised IFACs in 2014 (duct-tape chest seals and all) to scaling production of Krovin Goss / Hemostat gauze at roughly $1 per meter and developing a functional “cat-style” tourniquet that Ukrainian and U.S. SOF tested and trusted, David shares the real mechanics of wartime medical logistics. He explains pre-planned basement factories, compartmentalized production across multiple hidden sites, the shift from volunteers to paid war widows and veterans' families, rigorous quality control, and the constant fight against opportunists, “carpet baggers,” and adversarial intelligence collection.This is far more than a war story — it's a masterclass in austere medical manufacturing, supply-chain resilience, and why training and knowledge will always outperform gear alone.Key Takeaways:Pre-war planning and deep personal networks (built years earlier) are the real force multipliers when supply chains get bombed or corrupted.Highly motivated local workforces — especially people with direct skin in the game (war widows, veterans' families) — can deliver exceptional quality and output even in dispersed, low-tech underground conditions.Dramatic cost advantages ($1/m hemostatic gauze vs. $10+ imported) free up resources to buy more of everything else and keep production sustainable.Dispersed, multi-site manufacturing with compartmentalized components dramatically increases survivability and operational security.Functional analogs that are properly tested (double-blind SOF trials included) can serve as effective bridges when premium Western gear is unavailable or too expensive.The biggest failure point in tactical medicine is almost never the gear — it's implementation and mastery of the basics by everyone, not just medics. Tourniquet application, conversion/repositioning, and preventive medicine thinking belong at the squad-leader level.Medics must operate as advisors and educators. Command emphasis on these skills across the force (not just in the aid bag) is what actually moves the needle on survival.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction & David Plaster's Background (U.S. Army combat nurse in Ukraine since 2012)02:30 – Early Days: 2014 Improvisation, First IFACs, and the Complete Absence of Western TCCC06:00 – The Krovin Goss / Hemostat Gauze Story: Chemistry, Corruption, and the Pivot Underground11:30 – Going Underground: Pre-Planned Basements, Plan B/C/D, and Dispersed Manufacturing Strategy16:00 – Why the Tourniquet Project Started: Fake Chinese Gear, Expensive CATs, and Local Demand23:30 – The Manufacturing Model: Volunteers to Paid Staff, War-Affected Workers, and Quality Control27:00 – Security Realities: Protecting Sites from “Carpet Baggers,” Visitors, and Adversarial Interest30:00 – Bigger Lessons: Training Failures, ASM/Tourniquet Conversion Changes, and Why Knowledge > Gear36:00 – Preventive Medicine Mindset, Medics as Advisors, and Building Systems That Actually WorkFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Basketball Hall of Famer & Big3 coach Nancy Lieberman and Prostate Cancer Foundation President & CEO Gina Carithers join Freddie Bell to discuss a powerful new partnership between the Prostate Cancer Foundation and Ice Cube's BIG3 basketball league aimed at saving lives through early prostate cancer detection. They explain the “Check the Box! Saving Lives Together” campaign, which encourages men—especially Black men who face significantly higher risks—to take three simple steps: talk to a doctor, take a PSA blood test, and learn their PSA score. The conversation highlights the urgent need for awareness, the role sports can play in reaching communities, and how free screening opportunities at select BIG3 events are helping remove barriers to care. Lieberman also shares why using basketball as a platform for health advocacy can inspire action both on and off the court. 

In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coach Justin and Coach Amanda welcome special guests Mike Lohman and Gabriele Burgholzer to discuss the formation of the Veteran Strongman Association and their hopes to encourage and inspire veterans through community and sport. The conversation explores the importance and asset of community and camaraderie in strongman sports, particularly for veterans. Lohman shares the motivation behind creating the association, which aims to provide strongman coaching, awareness of the needs of veterans, and opportunities for veterans to engage in supportive and healthy community. The episode highlights the welcoming nature of the sport and the various initiatives planned to support veterans, including coaching, seminars, and fundraising events to help is all run. The sport of strongman and the nature of what it is can be a particular gift to veterans, and this association aims to make it more and more accessible to them. They also explore how strongman training can serve as a supportive environment the mental health challenges that many face. Sport is stronger medicine than anti-depressants, after all. Add in lifelong friends, and you have a recipe for success. They are also committed to quality coaching, free to veterans, where they can both succeed physically and mentally.

While the Red Cross is known primarily for blood drives and disaster relief, some of its most important work keeps people out of the hospital. The Home Fires Campaign has installed more than 3 million smoke alarms in homes across the country, saving thousands of lives. Emergency and disaster preparedness campaigns help communities ready themselves for weather related disasters. And CPR and First Aid training are critical to providing care at the moment people in crisis need it.rnrnMike Parks has been leading the Northern Ohio Region since 2015, after he retired as Rear Admiral from the U.S Coast Guard. In his role, Parks oversees five American Red Cross Chapters covering 31 Northern Ohio counties, serving 5.3 million people. In addition, he is frequently called on to lead disaster relief efforts, deploying for weeks to Maui to respond to the Lahaina fires, and to North Carolina after the flash floods from Hurricane Helene.rnrnJoin us for the next forum in the City Club's Local Heroes series, as we hear about the organization keeping blood in the blood banks, and our communities and neighbors safe from disaster.

This is episode two of a two-part series. Part 2 of one of the most powerful survival stories in nursing. Host Jana Price welcomes back flight nurse Dave Repsher and his wife Amanda — also a nurse — to continue the story they started in part 1.After a helicopter crash left Dave with burns over 90% of his body, the fight to survive was only the beginning. In this episode, Dave and Amanda pick up where they left off and walk through the long road of recovery: a year of home dialysis, a kidney transplant from a stranger named Matt who has now become family, getting married in the ICU after 16 years together, and what life looks like on the other side of it all.Jump Ahead: 00:38 — Welcome back and recap of part 103:40 — Dave's decision to fight: "We can't be angry"08:05 — The power of hope and small acts from staff11:21 — A nurse-patient's plea: talk to your sedated patients12:45 — What separates new nurses from experienced ones15:20 — A year of home dialysis: "Dialysis keeps you alive, but it's no way to live"17:18 — Amanda's stress and the first 911 call from home17:51 — Finding humor and independence on a tricycle with a bell21:11 — The phone call: a donor named Matt23:13 — Choosing to know your donor — Matt becomes family25:56 — Married in the ICU after 16 years together28:02 — The documentary "D-Rep" and the milk-jug fuel system30:37 — A 2014 helicopter built to 1965 safety standards32:19 — Why military helicopters got safer after Vietnam but civilian ones didn't34:00 — Two federal laws in five years thanks to advocacy35:52 — "Dave was the least physically injured from the crash"37:57 — A company's staff who refused to fly without crash-resistant fuel systems40:03 — 85% of the non-military fleet had no crash-resistant fuel systems at the time of the crash41:23 — Life today: running a community ice rink in Colorado42:23 — Continued advocacy and burn survivor support44:32 — Closing thanks and where to find resourcesThey also share the advocacy work that came out of the crash. Dave's helicopter was brand new, but its fuel system was built to 1965 safety standards. The same fuel system has been described as no stronger than a milk jug. Together with the pilot's widow Karen, Dave and Amanda helped push two pieces of federal legislation through Congress to require crash-resistant fuel systems on newly manufactured helicopters. A medic recently texted them after walking away from a crash because of the very system they fought for.This is a conversation about hope, advocacy, and what it really means to make good come out of tragedy.

The Wide Angle segment takes us across the Causeway to Paws of JB, a volunteer animal welfare initiative helping stray and abandoned animals in Johor Bahru. MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Maxine Beak, Lead Volunteer, Paws of JB and Nick Wong, Paws of JB Volunteer. Unlike Singapore, where structured systems, sterilisation programmes, and regulatory support keep shelters stable, JB faces overcrowding, limited funding, weaker enforcement, and chronic medical challenges. Many shelters operate independently, relying solely on donations. Some even resort to expired medication due to lack of resources. Paws of JB supports these shelters through feeding, cleaning, medical fundraising, and cross‑border adoption efforts — bringing animals to Singapore where they have a better chance of finding a home. Volunteers like Nick and Maxine describe heart breaking scenes: dogs kept in small cages for years, animals deprived of walks, and outbreaks like distemper spreading rapidly due to overcrowding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul played no small part in keeping hope alive, his presence in the catastrophe signifying God's desire and power to save people from destruction.

In this episode, I sit down with Jason Reid — founder of Tell My Story Foundation, producer of the documentary films Tell My Story, What I Wish My Parents Knew, and Shift, author of seven books, Iron Man athlete, and a father who lost his 14-year-old son Ryan to suicide in 2018 while on vacation with his wife. Jason was back for the second time on Dad Edge, and this conversation went somewhere neither of us expected. We open with AI — why the easy button is robbing kids of the growth that comes from struggle, and why an AI chatbot girlfriend who only says nice things is the most dangerous mental health threat facing kids right now. We get into the warning signs parents miss, why the most at-risk kids often look like the quarterback or the cheerleader, and the clouds analogy that reframes everything about how you try to help a struggling kid. Jason is direct: stop trying to fix it. Ask about the clouds. Listen longer. And when they're ready to talk, they'll talk on their terms — almost always side by side, never face to face. We also get into one of the most unconventional but practical parenting conversations this show has ever had: how to teach your kids to fight back with their words. Not their fists. Their words. It's called verbal self-defense — and it may be the most underrated gift a father can give his kid. And then there's Shift — Jason's newest documentary about kids who protect their mental health by having a passion that's entirely their own. The message is simple and urgent: your kid needs an anchor. Help them find it before they need it most.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:04] Why AI is the new mental health boogeyman — and why the chatbot girlfriend is the most dangerous thing on a kid's phone right now [4:15] You rob yourself of growth when you take the easy path — Jason's songwriting process and why the journey is the whole point [7:34] AI will make you smarter or dumber — it's entirely about how you use it [11:14] Introducing Jason Reid — founder of Tell My Story Foundation, back for the second time on Dad Edge [12:02] What happened to Ryan — a 14-year-old son lost to suicide in 2018 while Jason and his wife were on vacation [15:58] The choice Jason made — stay married, stay working, stay focused, and turn the pain into purpose [16:20] Tell My Story on Amazon Prime, What I Wish My Parents Knew in schools, and Shift — three films born from one loss [18:31] The warning signs parents miss — and why stopping the shower is often the first one to look for [19:53] The most at-risk kids look like the quarterback and the cheerleader — not the dark quiet kid in the corner [20:59] The clouds analogy — why telling your kid the sky is blue makes them stop talking [21:51] Ask about the clouds. Ask how they look, how they feel, whether they come and go. Don't give advice first. [23:30] Don't rush to your kid tonight and say "we need to talk about your mental health" — they will shut you out [24:14] Kids talk on their terms — when it's inconvenient for you, side by side, never face to face [26:40] Extend the talk — take the long way home, go for ice cream, keep moving so they keep talking [30:55] Larry's experience being bullied — and what he battles as a dad when his kid faces the same thing [32:28] Jason's counter-cultural advice: a bully will continue until your kid punches back — verbally or physically [34:49] Teach your kids verbal self-defense — find the bully's insecurity and make it funny in front of everyone [37:04] Brad Williams the dwarf comedian — and the greatest gift his dad gave him [40:21] Coach them on their comeback lines before it happens again — because it will happen again [45:30] Why kids today are under more pressure than any generation before — war, climate change, college costs, social media [50:45] Shift — what the film is about and why every kid needs a passion that has nothing to do with school or friends [53:20] Jason's Iron Man races — came in last every time and didn't care, because it was his thing [54:14] What did you love doing as a kid that you stopped? — and why that question could change everything [57:14] Larry and his 18-year-old learning guitar together — and why struggling alongside your kid is the whole point   Five Key Takeaways An AI chatbot that only says nice things to your kid is not a friend — it's a dangerous distortion of reality. The real world is going to push back, and kids raised on pure affirmation won't be ready for it. Don't tell a struggling kid the sky is blue. Ask them about the clouds. Ask how they look, how they feel, whether they come and go. You fix things in this space by listening, not advising. Kids will talk on their terms — side by side, in the car, on a walk, when it's inconvenient for you. When they start talking, extend the moment. Don't race home. Teach your kids verbal self-defense. A bully who gets laughed at stops. A bully whose insecurity gets named in front of everyone goes finds a different target. This is a skill you can practice at home. Every kid needs an anchor — a passion that's entirely theirs, not school, not friends, not a screen. Help them find it before the dark season hits, because the kids who have it are the ones who make it through.   Links & Resources Tell My Story Foundation: https://www.tellmystory.org/ Tell My Story documentary on Amazon Prime: Search "Tell My Story" on Amazon Prime Shift documentary — available through schools: https://tellmystory.org Songs for the Drive Home album: Available on Spotify and Apple Music — search "Songs for the Drive Home" Tell My Story conversation card deck: Available at https://www.tellmystory.org/cardgame Jason Reid's previous Dad Edge episode (June 2023): https://thedadedge.com Episode Link & Resources (Episode 1478): https://thedadedge.com/1478   Closing If there's one message from this episode that stands out, it's this: your kid needs an anchor — and they need you to help them find it before they need it most. Jason Reid lost his son Ryan in 2018. He didn't see it coming. And he spent the next seven years turning that loss into the most important work of his life — so other parents don't have to stand where he stood. Ask about the clouds. Take the long way home. Teach them to fight back with words. And help them find their thing. Because the kids who have something to wake up for are the ones who make it through. Go out and live legendary.

Best-selling author, keynote speaker, and Golden Gate Bridge suicide attempt survivor Kevin Hines joins Karena Dawn to talk about bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation, and the daily practices that keep him mentally well. Kevin opens up about the traumatic childhood that shaped his mental health, the instant regret he felt leaving the bridge rail, the sea lion and Coast Guard boat that saved his life, and the 15-year fight to install life-saving nets at the Golden Gate Bridge. He also shares the four words that have kept him alive through 25 years of suicidal ideation, and the science-backed wellness routines that support his brain health every single day. What does it take to survive the unthinkable and spend the rest of your life making sure others never have to? Kevin Hines proves that healing is not a destination but a daily practice, and that the simple words "I need help now" can make all the difference. (02:57) Born Into Crisis From abject poverty and neglect to a loving adoptive home, Kevin's path to the Hines family was anything but linear Why his gut health, brain chemistry, and mental illness were shaped before he could even speak The moment at 17 when his mind began to break, and why no one around him knew (13:11) The Words That Keep Him Here The mantra Kevin returns to every time suicidal thoughts arise, and why it works Four simple words he has taught thousands of people to say in their darkest moments Why sharing your pain with even one person creates real, physiological relief (21:51) Love, Loss, and the Fight for the Bridge Nets The wildly improbable love story that began in a psychiatric ward Why it took nearly two decades to get life-saving nets installed at the Golden Gate Bridge What to say when you see someone in visible pain and don't know how to start (28:58) Building a Life That's Worth Staying For Kevin's morning and evening routine for regulating his nervous system The 23-minute exercise rule backed by University of Georgia research Why his doctor reframed medication as a quality-of-life decision, not a weakness May is Mental Health Awareness Month—Get Involved through Action, not just awareness.  Be a part of change with The Big Silence | Host a benefit with The Big Silence: https://thebigsilence.com/blogs/share-your-silence/the-big-silence-fundraiser-hosting-guide Guest Resources Follow Kevin on Instagram Explore his books Listen to the Hindsights Podcast If this episode moved you, please consider supporting The Big Silence Foundation and exploring our resources: Connect with The Big Silence Community Order: The Big Silence Memoir audiobook Shop The Big Silence Self Love Collection Subscribe on YouTube Donate to The Big Silence Foundation The Big Silence Resource Guide Find exclusive offers from our supporters Show Resources: VISIT THE CHALLENGE PAGE THE BIG SILENCE PODCAST TONE IT DOWN PODCAST Tone It Up App Tone It Up YouTube Tone It Up Instagram Have a message for Karena?

Host: Alex Elswick, PhD Extension Specialist for Substance Use Prevention and Recovery Guest: Alex Johansen, UK Harm Reduction Hub Intern Season 8, Episode 45 Welcome to Talking FACS. In this episode guest-host Alex Elswick speaks with Alex Johansson, an intern with the UK Harm Reduction Hub, about harm reduction and a newer practice called syringe residue testing. They define harm reduction as both a philosophy grounded in respect and dignity and a set of practical strategies to reduce harms from substance use. Topics include everyday examples of harm reduction, practical interventions like naloxone distribution and syringe service programs, drug checking methods (including single-use test strips and syringe residue testing), and how the Harm Reduction Hub analyzes syringe residue to monitor Kentucky's drug supply. Key findings discussed from recent Kentucky testing (February 2026) include widespread fentanyl and methamphetamine detection across five partnered counties (Fayette, Jefferson, Jessamine, Perry, and Rowan), notable county-level differences (e.g., high meth detection in Rowan County and higher fentanyl presence in Fayette/Jefferson), and the identification of additives such as metatomidine. The conversation highlights how timely, local data help target naloxone distribution, inform outreach and treatment providers, and guide public health responses. Tune in to learn what syringe residue testing reveals about local risks, how harm reduction agencies communicate alerts, and why this information matters for people who use drugs, families, healthcare providers, and the broader community.

To mark the sixth anniversary of Raise the Line from Elsevier we're revisiting one of the most remarkable stories we've had the privilege of sharing over the last 575 episodes. To do that, we're delighted to welcome back Dr. David Fajgenbaum, a physician-scientist who repurposed an existing medication that saved his own life from Castleman disease, an ultra-rare condition that nearly killed him on five occasions. Because there was no treatment specifically for Castleman, Dr. Fajgenbaum set out to find a previously approved medication that might work. “I eventually found a drug that was made for another disease 50 years ago. It's been over 12 years that I've been doing great on this medicine.”   When he first joined us in 2022, Dr. Fajgenbaum was just launching a non-profit organization called Every Cure with the hope of replicating the success he achieved in his own case, and as you'll learn in this inspiring interview with host Lindsey Smith, its work has already saved thousands of lives. “It's a tragedy if someone dies while there's already a drug in their local hospital that could help them.”  In the latest installment of our Year of the Zebra series on rare conditions, you'll hear an inspiring example of a life saved by this approach and also learn about: The role of artificial intelligence in scanning thousands of medications and diseases to find possible matches; How Every Cure decides which drugs merit the costly research needed to confirm a match;  Dr. Fajgenbaum's philosophy of “living in overtime.” Mentioned in this episode:Every Cure Osmosis Video on Castleman Disease Dr. Fajgenbaum's Bestselling Memoir, Chasing My Cure If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In this episode, we sit down with Ian Westmoreland, a former IT project manager who walked away from a high-paying corporate career to find his true "why" at age 59 and a half. Ian shares the remarkable "synchronicity" of reading a book on a train that changed the course of his life to the day, leading him to found Mentoring Men, a national movement providing free one-to-one life mentoring for Australian men. We dive deep into his journey from the corporate world to community impact, his battle with stage four cancer, and the birth of Kintsugi Heroes—a storytelling platform dedicated to those who have overcome adversity. Key Moments • The turning point: Why Ian left a 40-year IT career to focus on community impact. • Life Mentoring vs. Business Mentoring: Why listening is more powerful than advice. • The founding of Mentoring Men and the mission to support men through life's challenges. • The 59.5-year-old epiphany: A literal life-changing moment on a Sydney train. • Resilience in the face of Stage 4 Cancer and the power of gratitude during recovery. • Moving past judgment: Understanding the underlying causes of addiction and homelessness. • Redefining success: Why a blue-collar worker with love is more successful than a billionaire. • The birth of Kintsugi Heroes and the power of sharing stories of adversity. Notable Quotes: • "Life mentoring is predominantly listening—90% listening, supporting, and encouraging."  • "The two most important days in your life are the day you're born and the day you work out why." — Mark Twain (cited by Ian)  • "I'd rather have a purpose than a Porsche." — Rugby League Legend (cited by Ian)  Guest Bio:  Ian Westmoreland spent over four decades in the telecommunications and energy sectors before transitioning to full-time community service.

Before he was helping save lives… he was fighting for his own. In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Brandon Saho, founder of The Mental Game, shares the journey that transformed his darkest moments into a mission that is now impacting lives across the country. After battling depression and suicidal thoughts, Brandon made a decision: to turn pain into purpose. Today, through raw, unfiltered conversations with elite performers, public figures, and everyday individuals carrying extraordinary stories, he is helping redefine how we think about mental health, vulnerability, and strength. Endorsed by Oprah Winfrey and featured in Forbes, ESPN, and CBS News, Brandon has become one of the most authentic and impactful voices in mental health. But this conversation goes deeper than accolades. We explore the tension between mental toughness and mental health — especially in high-performance environments like the NFL. Brandon opens up about the isolation he felt during his lowest moments, the struggle of being misunderstood by those closest to him, and the internal question so many people silently carry: "Why can everyone else be happy… but not me?" More importantly, we unpack what changed. From the hesitation to ask for help… to the moment he finally did — and how that decision altered the trajectory of his life. We also dive into the creation of The Mental Game, the conversations that have impacted him most, and a recent viral moment where Brandon shared one of his deepest personal fears — and how vulnerability, not success, became the bridge to connection. This episode is a reminder that strength is not found in silence. It is found in honesty. In courage. In conversation. Because sometimes the most important thing you can do… is speak.
