Dans cet épisode, l'équipe d'OVNI reçoit Hortense Goulard (Les Échos), fraîchement revenue de quatre ans à San Francisco. Elle raconte le basculement de la tech US du boom NFTs/métavers vers l'IA générative, l'ambiance très transactionnelle de la Valley, et ce que change concrètement le “être sur place” pour l'accès au capital, aux talents et à l'information. On parle choix d'implantation (San Francisco vs Valley vs New York/Boston), rythme de travail avec l'Europe, et réalités très pratiques (coworking, recrutement, salaires).Côté tendances, l'épisode plonge dans la “physical AI” (robots + IA), la défense devenue hype dans la Silicon Valley, et un quantique qui revient en force, tout en abordant souveraineté, semi-conducteurs (CHIPS Act, TSMC), et virages politico-réglementaires (Biden, Lina Khan/FTC, Trump). Hortense partage des conseils pour les fondateurs européens qui visent les US, des cas d'usage industriels (drones, maintenance, sécurité), et des sources à suivre (The Information, Platformer) pour garder une longueur d'avance.[00:00:00]: Introduction[00:01:00]: Retour d'Hortense des États-Unis[00:01:20]: France vs USA: ambiances et constats terrain[00:02:18]: San Francisco post-pandémie: centre-ville et SDF[00:02:47]: Le “bureau” des Echos à SF: coworking[00:03:26]: Salaire et coût de la vie à SF[00:03:38]: France “fin de Startup Nation” vs SF à fond[00:04:40]: Télétravail, retours à SF, Miami et Austin[00:05:37]: Faut-il être à SF pour la deeptech?[00:06:38]: Hubs sectoriels: LA, Denver, New York[00:07:04]: YC, Delaware, Texas, et la maison mère[00:08:01]: Défense: nécessité d'une entité américaine[00:09:22]: Culture du temps: ponctualité et rendez-vous courts[00:10:17]: Networking transactionnel et small talk à SF[00:11:40]: “Les Echos, le WSJ français” pour expliquer[00:12:27]: Vagues: NFTs, argent facile, puis licenciements[00:13:50]: Choc ChatGPT: bascule totale vers l'IA[00:16:58]: Curiosité US vs prudence européenne[00:18:36]: Indépendance éditoriale et sponsoring aux USA[00:20:09]: Mur pub/rédaction: grands médias vs influenceurs[00:20:41]: Washington Post, Bezos et la ligne éditoriale[00:22:48]: Réelle politique, Lina Khan et la FTC[00:23:53]: Entrepreneurs vs VCs; IPOs et M&A gelés[00:24:34]: Pourquoi la tech préfère Trump récemment[00:26:03]: Passage obligé par les USA pour scaler?[00:27:07]: IPO US, taille de marché et clients[00:28:17]: S'implanter: recrutements US et écueils[00:28:59]: New York ou San Francisco?[00:29:25]: Exceptions et hubs: Datadog, biotechs à Boston[00:30:41]: Recruter à SF: forte communauté européenne[00:31:40]: Souveraineté vs intérêt business, le débat[00:32:05]: Décalage horaire: routines et organisation[00:35:30]: Physical AI: robots qui comprennent et agissent[00:36:26]: Vision, action et interactions robotisées[00:36:41]: NVIDIA GTC: démos robots et débuts[00:37:32]: “Cerveau” universel pour robots, cas Boston Dynamics[00:38:12]: Infra IA robotique et présence européenne[00:39:33]: Entraînement virtuel et “Dull, Dirty, Dangerous”[00:42:00]: Le quantique coté, retour en force US[00:42:25]: Communications quantiques et navigation sans GPS[00:44:24]: Early stage: pourquoi préférer San Francisco[00:46:00]: Coliving d'entrepreneurs et scènes locales[00:46:27]: Défense: tabou levé et boom des investissements[00:47:12]: Palantir, milliardaires et réorientation des contrats[00:48:35]: DoD: filiale 100% US et contraintes[00:49:04]: Chips Act, relocalisation et souveraineté US[00:50:23]: TSMC Arizona: clashs culturels et Trump[00:51:05]: Europe et usines de puces, batteries[00:51:23]: OVNI doit-il s'installer à SF?[00:51:36]: Recommandation: s'établir à San Francisco[00:52:14]: Souveraineté vs meilleur produit pour clients[00:53:20]: Cloud, Patriot Act et données sensibles[00:56:46]: Platformer de Casey Newton conseillé[00:57:07]: Magma, tendances et souvenirs NFT[00:58:01]: Conclusion et remerciementsHébergé par Audiomeans.

Ces quelques notes de piano sur lesquelles viennent se poser un harmonica, ce n'est pas banal. C'est vrai, dans notre inconscient collectif, la guitare et l'harmonica sont inséparables pour un chanteur folk. Si le chanteur Billy Joël voulait se faire remarquer, il a mis dans le mille. Mais bon, c'est surtout de sa propre histoire dont il est question dans cette chanson, qui est en tout point singulière et rappelle que le succès est parfois, souvent, le résultat de nos échecs. Je vous raconte.En 1973, lorsque les Américains et les Européens découvrent ce qui est le premier tube de Billy Joël, qui pour se douter que ce musicien de 34 ans a déjà plusieurs vies derrière lui. Tout a commencé dans son New Jersey natal, à un saut de puce de New York où jeune pianiste et organiste surdoué, Billy, dopé par la musique des Beatles connaît dans les années 60 son premier hit local avec un groupe de bal. Et ça change tout dans leur existence : les voilà qui passent des salles de fêtes à la télé, locale aussi, mais enfin New York et le New Jersey, c'est déjà pas mal ! Ils ne gagnent pas des fortunes, alors Billy loge dans la maison du batteur du groupe qui est aussi son meilleur ami, et de sa famille. Ils en profitent pour y installer le local de répétition et l'ont surnommé logiquement The rock house. Mais voilà catastrophe, Billy tombe amoureux de la femme de son logeur et meilleur pote, une femme qui répond à ses sentiments. Vous imaginez le drame, la séparation du couple et du groupe, tout le monde finit par se retrouver seul et Billy, rongé par la culpabilité, lâche prise, fait une tentative de suicide, se retrouve SDF, avant de remonter la pente car, coup de bol, un producteur de Los Angeles a entendu ses chansons et veut le signer.Billy qui s'est finalement mis en ménage avec la femme de son pote, qui lui a entretemps pardonné, fait le grand saut avec elle jusqu'à L.A. et enregistre un album en 1971 qui ne le mène nulle part. La firme de disques ne suit pas, le groupe en tournée n'est pas payé, bref, il se retrouve à nouveau sans le sou mais avec cette fois, une famille à nourrir et une maison à payer. Alors, pour gagner sa vie, il se fait engager comme pianiste du bar d'un hôtel, sous le nom de Bill Martin, au cas où quelqu'un le reconnaîtrait. Évidemment, avec un talent pareil, pas une semaine sans qu'un gars ne lui dise, je suis agent, je suis producteur, je pourrais produire votre disque. Billy se garde bien de dire qu'il a déjà un contrat, et dont il voudrait sortir. Mais voilà, il tire de la faune qu'il fréquente dans ce bar tous les samedis soirs une histoire qui devient une chanson bouleversante, un premier tube qui lui permet de revenir dans sa ville, New York, à la Columbia, la firme qui édite déjà d'autres grandes incarnations de cette ville : Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel et à présent, Bruce Springsteen.Alors, il va la raconter, la vie et la faune new yorkaise, avec ses gens simples, ses bars et restaurants italiens. Et parmi tout cet extraordinaire répertoire, une chanson montre à quel point il est fier et heureux d'être revenu dans sa ville. C'est celle qu'il a écrite dès son retour, dans un bus, le long de l'East River. A peine le temps de rentrer à la maison, la chanson était écrite, sa vie pouvait enfin commencer, à New York, de jour, comme de nuit, et où il retrouve les habitués de bars qui écoutent le pianiste pour oublier, le temps d'un morceau, tous les rêves qu'ils ont laissé s'échapper avec leur jeunesse.

On a tous en nous une image de New York, la nuit, qui nous marquée : les lumières de Manhattan qui se reflètent sur un East River tellement vaste qu'on ne sait plus si c'est encore un fleuve ou déjà la mer. Et le plus fascinant dans cette histoire, c'est que cette ville est tellement peuplée qu'elle ne dort jamais, qu'il s'y passe des choses folles, autant le jour que la nuit. Regardez cette jeune femme, très belle d'ailleurs, qui entre dans un immeuble du West Side à la fin du jour. Elle n'y habite pas, non, elle vient juste dire bonjour au concierge avec qui elle a sympathisé. Oh, elle a une idée en tête, oui, elle rêve d'y vivre. Il faut dire qu'avec son compagnon, elle déménage en moyenne une fois par an mais en cet automne 1978, même si Debbie Harry est loin d'être riche, son couple ne tire plus le diable par la queue comme cela a été le cas pendant des années. Dix ans qu'elle s'est installée à New York avec un petit boulot de secrétaire mais là, le troisième album de son groupe Blondie est bien parti pour être celui qui va faire d'eux des stars du rock. Et Debbie a eu raison de lui laisser régulièrement un pourboire pour l'avertir au cas où, elle va l'avoir son appart au dernier étage, qui était au départ, d'après le concierge, la buanderie de l'immeuble. La peinture des murs est out, il y a des fuites et des courants d'air, un toit en goudron qui va les faire cuire en été mais il y a une terrasse sur trois côtés et pour Debbie, ça veut dire tout. Imaginez la vue, de jour, comme de nuit.Enfin, la nuit, je veux dire, très tard, le point du jour quand ils rentrent de leur émission de télé. Car oui, Chris et Debbie font de la télé. Avec des artistes qui ont décidé de faire une émission barge et expérimentale tous les jeudis soirs. L'émission s'appelle TV Party et est dirigée par un réalisateur indépendant que Debbie et Chris connaissent bien, Amos Poe, sur une chaîne de télé locale qui loue son antenne à l'heure, à tous ceux qui veulent faire passer un message.Dans l'équipe, un artiste bien barré, qui compose des morceaux à l'image de ses graffitis, un certain Jean-Michel Basquiat. Jean-Michel est SDF, en galère, alors il demande à Debbie qui vient de présenter une séquence dans laquelle elle montre comment pogoter avec une béquille, de lui acheter un tableau. Et comme dans un film de Woody Allen, Chris et elle, viennent voir son œuvre monumentale et effrayante et la lui achètent pour 300 dollars. Une vraie fortune pour lui ! Le jeudi suivant, il dira aux autres de l'émission qu'il les a arnaqués. Oui, le Basquiat dont certaines toiles quittent aujourd'hui les salles de vente pour 100 millions de dollars. Quand on pense que le patron de la chaîne a refusé qu'il tague un mur du studio.Quant au type derrière la caméra, Freddy, dit Fab Five Freddy, c'est aussi un artiste hip hop. C'est quoi le Hip Hop ? Freddy emmène Debbie et Chris à leur premier concert de rap, on n'a pas encore entendu le Rapper's Delight des Sugarhill Gang que les deux artistes punks sont sous le charme, voilà pourquoi Debbie lui adressera un clin d'oeil dans le single qui fera d'elle la première rappeuse blanche.

Au Cameroun, l'opposant Joshua Osih annonce que, s'il se présente à la présidentielle du 12 octobre, ce n'est pas seulement pour mettre fin au long règne de Paul Biya, c'est aussi pour « en finir avec le régime hypercentralisé » dans son pays. Le président du Social Democratic Front (SDF), n'épargne pas non plus certains de ses partenaires de l'opposition, notamment le candidat Bello Bouba Maïgari. Pour lui, Paul Biya et Bello Bouba, « c'est blanc bonnet et bonnet blanc ». En ligne de Yaoundé, l'héritier de John Fru Ndi répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Joshua Osih, pourquoi êtes-vous hostile au principe d'un candidat consensuel de l'opposition ? Joshua Osih : Je ne suis pas hostile à un candidat consensuel. Je pense que les alliances devraient se faire avant le dépôt de candidature et pas après. Et donc, une fois que quelqu'un se porte candidat, il devrait aller jusqu'au bout. Je suis de ceux qui pensent que la démocratie est très importante et qu'il faut donner le choix aux Camerounaises et aux Camerounais de librement choisir leur candidat et de ne pas se faire imposer un candidat. Mais face au président sortant, Paul Biya, vous êtes onze candidats de l'opposition et il n'y a qu'un seul tour. Est-ce que mathématiquement, les voix de l'opposition ne vont pas se disperser ? Il n'y a pas d'opposition en tant que tel. Ce n'est pas un parti politique qui se présente, ni une famille politique. Il y a des gens qui votent à droite, d'autres qui votent à gauche, d'autres qui votent leur tribu, d'autres qui votent objectivement pour le meilleur projet politique. Et donc il faudrait respecter ces choix-là et laisser les gens faire le choix qui est le leur. Beaucoup disent que Paul Biya est trop âgé pour briguer un nouveau mandat de sept ans. Mais est-ce que de fait, il ne continue pas à gouverner, à signer des décrets, à recevoir des personnalités ? Je pense que vous avez vu, comme moi, que l'ensemble de l'oligarchie camerounaise est allé le voir pour le pousser à se présenter. Il n'a reçu personne. Il a fallu que l'ambassadeur de France arrive à la présidence pour qu'il sorte de sa chambre. Donc, si c'est comme ça qu'on gouverne un pays, je pense que ce n'est pas mon idée. Il est évident que, après 43 ans au pouvoir et surtout 65 ans aux affaires, il y a un burn-out qui existe. C'est inévitable, c'est biologique. Et donc, moi, je suis de ceux qui disent sans honte aucune qu'il n'a plus les capacités nécessaires à gouverner ce pays. Mais je ne suis pas dans cette course pour remplacer Monsieur Biya. Je suis dans cette course pour changer de système, parce que je pense que le problème fondamental du Cameroun, c'est celui d'un système hyper présidentialiste, hyper centralisé, qui tue toute opportunité au développement. Et donc il faudrait absolument revenir à ce que nous proposons depuis 1990, et c'est pour cela que je suis contre ce débat d'ailleurs, sur l'opportunité de mettre ensemble des candidatures, parce que je suis le seul qui porte le projet fédéral dans notre pays, c'est-à-dire un fédéralisme d'exécution où on remettrait le pouvoir au peuple et où le pouvoir irait du bas vers le haut et donc l'âge du président, son origine et les autres considérations des autres candidats ne m'intéressent que très peu, parce que je suis le seul candidat qui a cette offre sur la table. Alors, contre votre stratégie de rester candidat quoiqu'il arrive, jusqu'au 12 octobre, 27 cadres de votre parti SDF se sont regroupés et ont décidé de rallier le candidat UNDP Bello Bouba Maigari qui leur promet notamment s'il est élu, d'amnistier, tous les prisonniers de la crise anglophone. Est-ce que cela ne vous fragilise pas ? Alors j'aimerais bien qu'on me dise quand est-ce que ces cadres sont partis, parce que je me souviens que ce sont des gens qui n'ont pas pu gagner des élections locales et qui n'exercent aucune influence politique que ce soit. Et ça fait des années qu'ils ne sont plus dans le SDF. Et au moment où le Social Democratic Front, en mars 2023, présentait son programme politique et proposait l'amnistie dès le premier jour de tous les prisonniers liés à la crise anglophone qui n'ont pas du sang sur les mains, Monsieur Bello Bouba était encore un ministre d'État de Monsieur Biya. Et donc, c'est bien si avant même de devenir président, il essaie déjà de copier notre programme, c'est une très bonne chose. On ne veut pas avoir l'exclusivité de nos propositions. Si toute la classe politique peut s'inspirer de ce que je propose, je pense que j'aurai déjà réussi un des paris de cette élection. Donc, Monsieur Bello Bouba et Monsieur Biya, c'est blanc bonnet et bonnet blanc. Monsieur Bello Bouba, nous savons très bien pourquoi il se présente à cette élection. Il veut faire passer son ami d'enfance, il veut absolument continuer comme ministre d'État. Nous avons dit que nous mettons fin à ce système politique là le 12 octobre, et nous sommes certains que nous allons vers une victoire le 12 octobre. Et quand vous dites que Bello Bouba est là pour faire gagner son ami d'enfance, vous voulez parler de Paul Biya, c'est ça ? C'est ce qu'il a fait en 1992. Et donc, en 2025, nous parlons d'un tout autre Cameroun qui a une maturité politique bien plus puissante que celle qu'on avait en 1992.

This week on Brush with Britt, I'm joined by Shelley Brown, RDH, for an eye-opening conversation about silver diamine fluoride (SDF) — one of the most exciting tools we have in modern preventive dentistry.SDF isn't just about “stopping cavities.” It represents a shift toward minimally invasive, patient-centered care that allows hygienists to expand their impact in meaningful ways. Shelley shares her expertise and passion for prevention as we dive into:-How SDF works to halt active decay and protect vulnerable teeth before they progress-When to use it — from pediatric patients to older adults, special needs populations, and a wide range of patients in between.-How hygienists can lead the way in incorporating SDF into preventive protocols and advocating for its use chairside-Overcoming the stigma of staining by learning how to set patient expectations and frame the “why” behind treatment-Communication strategies that work when explaining SDF to parents, caregivers, or hesitant patients-Why SDF matters for prevention — especially as we fight health disparities and look for solutions beyond the drill-and-fill modelShelley and I also talk about the bigger picture: how embracing preventive services like SDF helps us reclaim our role as primary prevention specialists in dentistry. For hygienists who are passionate about protecting smiles, reducing disease, and practicing at the top of their scope, SDF is an incredible tool that can change lives.Whether you're brand new to silver diamine fluoride or already using it in practice, this conversation will give you practical tips, renewed excitement, and the confidence to advocate for prevention-first dentistry.

Avec Albéric de Serrant et Etienne Villemain, directeur du village de François Thème: L'éducation des SDF et des plus pauvres, on éduque par la pauvreté

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned of military action against the Syrian Democratic Forces over its failure to honour an agreement to merge its military with the new regime in Damascus. In a move steeped in symbolism, Turkey's leader chose recent celebrations marking the Ottoman Turks' defeat of the Byzantine Christians at the Battle of Malazgirt in 1071 to issue an ultimatum to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). "Those who turn to Ankara and Damascus will win," Erdogan bellowed to thousands of supporters on 26 August. "If the sword is unsheathed, there will be no room left for pens and words." Turkey, a strong ally of Syria, has a military presence in the country and the two governments recently signed a defence training agreement. But Turkey is unhappy with the presence of the SDF, a coalition of Kurdish and Arab forces, which controls a large swathe of Syria bordering Turkey's own predominantly Kurdish region. Peace or politics? Turkey's fragile path to ending a decades-long conflict Buying time The SDF is affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has for years been fighting Turkey for greater Kurdish minority rights. The PKK is listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the European Union and the United States. But Ankara is engaged in a peace process with the Kurdish militants, who have committed to disbanding. However, Kurdish analyst Mesut Yegen, of the TIM think tank in Istanbul, says the disarmament process would be limited to Kurds from Turkey, and doesn't include SDF forces in Syria. Erdogan is now ramping up pressure on the SDF to honour an agreement its leader Mazloum Abdi signed in March with Syria's new President, Ahmed Al Sharaa, to merge his military forces with the new regime in Damascus. The deal is backed by the US, which has a military force in the SDF-controlled region as part of its war against the Islamic State. But, according to Fabrice Balanche from Lyon University: "The SDF has no intention of implementing the agreement made in March. Mazloum just wanted to gain time." Balanche points out that Abdi's SDF is a staunchly secular organisation and remains deeply suspicious of Sharaa's jihadist connections. Recent attacks on Syria's Druze minority by forces linked to Sharaa appear to confirm the SDF's fears over merging with the Damascus regime, says Balanche. Syria's interim president vows justice for Druze after deadly clashes 'Israel would like a weak Syria' At the same time, Erdogan is aware that the emergence of an autonomous Kurdish state on its border could be exploited by its rival Israel, which is looking for non-Arab allies in the region. Aydin Selcen, a former senior Turkish diplomat and an analyst for Turkey's Mediyascope news outlet, said: "Strategically, Israel would like a weak Syria, a weak Damascus, a weak Beirut and a weak Tehran." Turkey has carried out military incursions against the SDF, and its forces remain massed on the border. But Balanche says American presence there will likely deter any new Turkish military action. However, he warns that Ankara could seek to fuel Kurdish Arab rivalries within the SDF, with the fall of former ruler Bashar al-Assad last December. Turkey walks a fine line as conflict between Israel and Iran cools "It is different now, you have a Sunni leader in Damascus, and many [Arab] tribes, many people, prefer to join Damascus," he explained. "So the risk is a proxy war. Of course, for the new regime, it would be a disaster. If you have no peace, you have no investment, you have no trust." The dilemma facing Ankara is that any new conflict against the SDF would likely weaken the Sharaa regime – a key ally.

70,000 SDF applications and 11,000 ART fillings. Dr. Jonathan Norris and his partners own 10 practices across Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts. They have built their entire practice philosophy on being minimally invasive. I love having these conversations because its so interesting to see how different pediatric dentists can practice. We have a great conversation and discuss:- Their protocol for SDF and SMART fillings, when it works and when it doesn't- Why they only use glass products- Hall crowns vs modified Hall crowns- Papacarie for ART fillings- How is minimally invasive dentistry perceived by referring GPs?

[Première diffusion le 24 septembre 2024] Il fut victime d'un canular radiophonique pendant près de 6 ans. En 1995, Gérard de Suresnes, de son vrai nom Gérard Cousin, fait sensation sur les ondes de Fun Radio. Un soir, comme des milliers d'auditeurs, ce SDF de 34 ans tente sa chance et appelle le standard pour lire des poèmes d'amour qu'il a écrit. Il est en tongs depuis une cabine téléphonique et vient de Suresnes (Hauts-de-Seine).Max, l'animateur star de l'époque sur Fun Radio, flaire le bon client, l'invite régulièrement à l'antenne dans les jours qui suivent et en 1997, il lui propose même de devenir l'animateur d'un programme hebdomadaire baptisé « Les Débats de Gérard », programmé après minuit.

In this episode we'll explore the clinical applications of SDF, including single and multi-visit protocols, and how to determine the most effective treatment approach based on the patient's age, cooperation level, and caries risk. We'll talk about what kind of materials we should be using to restore teeth following SDF treatment and how to manage the characteristic black staining that comes with its use. Our guest is Dr. Carla Cohn, a general dentist who is devoted solely to the practice of dentistry for children. She owns and operates Kids Sleep Dentistry Winnipeg, a private practice at Western Surgery Centre in Canada. Dr. Cohn is the founder of Lit Smile Academy, a CE company that organizes live, hands on programs that focus on practical clinical dentistry.

The use of medical management of caries is, for the most part, not taught in dental schools and it's not used nearly enough among practicing dentists. Removing the infected dentin with a microbrush and then treating the affected dentin with SDF followed by the placement GI can result in an incredibly high success rate. So the question is, why aren't more dentists doing this in their practice. Dr. Frachella believes a good part of the reason is that most dentists don't look at this treatment as profitable. He disagrees. So let's find out more from our guest, Dr. John Frachella, who is not only knowledgeable but also quite entertaining. Dr Frachella is a pediatric dentist with 50 years experience in the delivery of dental services in public and private settings. He's worked in private practices across the country and for a decade was on staff at OHSU (Oregon Health Sciences University) Dental School. He lectures at NYU Dental School for the largest dental residency program in the US.

Tiff and Dana discuss the numerous innovations happening in the field of pediatric dentistry, specifically minimally invasive care and maximizing shortened attention spans. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Tiffanie (00:02.2) Hello Dental A Team listeners. We are so excited to be back here with you. If you listened to an earlier podcast, I alluded to the fact that Dana and I were going to have some fun with a really cool podcast. I'm excited for this one. I think it took a little bit for us to prep for this one, but I think that's the world of dentistry for us. Dana, thank you for spending so much time with me this afternoon busting out a few podcasts here for the...   For the listeners, how are you this lovely afternoon?   Dana (00:33.698) Doing good, doing good. I'm excited to be here. I've had to reframe my podcast time to Tiff time because it helps really get me pumped up and excited for it.   Tiffanie (00:39.768) I'll make it.   Tiffanie (00:44.986) I appreciate that. I love that so much. It is our time together. Kristy started saying the same thing too. And, I love getting you guys on here and I can't wait to get some with Trish and all the other consultants that, that we have. think it's just so valuable for us to get the time together, share ideas. Cause you know, we have, we have our consultant co-labs, but this seems to be where the most ideas just like randomly spur out. Cause it's almost like we're coaching.   when we talk about these things. So you're welcome to the world. Thank you to the world for joining us for our consultant time. It's my Dana time, my Britt time, my Kristy time. So thank you, Dana. I appreciate it. Today, I thought it would be fun. And I want to caveat this before I truly talk about what we're talking about. This is for everyone. We want to focus today on pediatric dentistry innovations. But   I really think that there's some valuable tips and tricks in here for everyone and not just pediatric practices. I know a lot of GP practices see many children. I know a lot of pediatric practices that refuse GP referrals, which I think is really funny. And I totally understand because when I was in my GP practice, it was like we would take kids, but the worst kids we did not. And so I totally get it. It just makes me chuckle every time.   Regardless, my oral surgery practices, you guys are seeing kiddos and by kiddos, mean like realistically 16 and under is what we're talking about here today. I know my my periopractices, sometimes you guys are seeing them too. My son plays lacrosse and gosh dang those teeth. just cringe every time something happens, mouth guard or not. I have seen, I don't know how many mouth guards fly across the field and they have stopped play because it's thank God. I thank God for this for these.   rules and regulations, but it's part of the uniform. And so if they're missing, if they if if the ref see it fly out of their mouth, they'll call the bell stop the game so they can go get it. But I'm like, you got hit so hard your mouth guard blew out. Anyway, it's periodontist. I know you're seeing kiddos too. So everyone's seeing kiddos. And today it's just pediatric dentistry innovations and   Tiffanie (02:57.342) I think, Dana, you said it well just before we got on here. There's not a lot of exciting new things for pediatric dentistry or realistically right now for dentistry in general. We've kind of hit the space of, we're gonna try this stuff out for a little while. So I agree with you there, but I think we've come up with some really good things and tested and seen some amazing things that are working for the generations of kids that we have right now.   we were talking attention spans. So I know that that will come into play with some of the stuff we're speaking on today, but really, really honing in on, I think it's, again, it's going to come back to like that trust and that value and making sure that emotionally we're, we're emotionally evoking things for our patients, whether they're adults or children, so that they're comfortable, they're confident, they trust us and they want to return. For the kiddos, I get really emotional and   I just love on the pediatric practices. I myself could never work in a pediatric practice full time. There's no way. I don't have the patience for it, but man, do I value and appreciate the work that all of you guys are doing and Dana, that you were able, that you've done and are continuing to do in your efforts as well. Because to me, I've done mostly GP and oral surgery.   And I really had so many patients. I've met so many people that are so afraid of the dentist because they had a horrible experience as a child or because they had a parent who had a bad experience as a child that passed it on to them. Those were the worst for me, but I just value and appreciate the amazing pediatric practices who are out there doing amazing work and creating lasting.   impressions for people because you've really set them up for success in so many different places. So whether you're a GP, a specialty, a pediatric specialty, no matter what a lot of these pieces we're going to talk about today are really going to help you set the stage and the tone for these people's lives. And Dana, you've done pediatric dentistry. Thank you. Praise to you. I just, you know, I love kids, but this   Tiffanie (05:13.536) I just don't have it in me and I know that about me. I can consult them and I can spend a day and a half in office with them and love on those kids while I'm there and then I'm exhausted and need to go home. So I love it. Thank you, Dana for being there. Dana, I actually I really loved some of the things you were talking about, like the continuation of products and services and stuff that we're already utilizing. think GP and pediatric offices are using a lot of those. Tell me   here with everyone listening a little bit about some of those pieces that you used and that you're seeing still lot of your pediatric practices are using and what have you seen just continue to innovate in the world of that.   Dana (05:53.472) Yeah, I think one of the biggest things that pediatric practices are always looking at ways to innovate is minimally invasive care. So how can I get this kiddo treatment that they need improve what they came here with in a way that is as minimally as invasive as possible because of exactly what you said. think pediatric practices beyond yes, all practices have to work on experience pediatric practices are unique and they've got a parent experience and a patient experience and oftentimes the patient experience impacts the parents.   experience, as I can tell you my mom heart, just for my mom heart too. So I feel like they have worked really, really hard in trying to find ways to treat kiddos as minimally as they can, right? And but yet still getting some really great results. So they have found a lot of things, you know, we're even starting to see a little bit of like, you know, non injection.   Tiffanie (06:26.552) Yeah.   Dana (06:49.088) anesthetizing and things like that that really really, know, SDF has made huge leaps and bounds. There's Cura.now for... What's the word I'm looking for, Tiff?   Tiffanie (07:01.784) Keep going.   Dana (07:02.7) Yeah, and so there's just all sorts of ways that we treat kiddos now that like didn't exist before and that is truly because we're looking at ways to treat them that helps create that positive experience and doesn't put them fearful in the dental chair.   Tiffanie (07:16.492) Yeah, well, even Dana, I'm thinking too, even fluoride has come world so that they're not swallowing it or it's not as toxic, I guess is the best word to use there, or difficult because remember it used to, gosh, I remember the trays, right? I remember trying to shove those trays in kids' mouths in my office and I'm like, this does not fit. The doctor's like, no, it's supposed to be too big and it's just like fluoride foam is everywhere. So thank heavens those are.   hopefully a thing of the past. But even in the world of fluoride for kiddos, like what have you seen in that world, Dana, that has transpired over the course of last few years?   Dana (07:57.036) Yeah, I think, you know, obviously the big switch to the varnish, think to like, I mean, I've even seen some pediatric offices, like I had a pediatric dentist and she basically like reached out to all the pediatricians in the area and was like, fluoride these kiddos as early as possible. I'll teach you how I'll so it's just expanding like the reach on that too has been incredible. And I think just the education to the parent because kiddos, you know,   they expose themselves to a lot of acidic things now. Diets have changed a lot over recent years and things in our food have changed a ton. And so as much as they can also just educate the parent on those choices and like, hey, we can kind of counteract some of those choices with Laura. really want to...   do a ton of nutritional counseling happens in pediatric practices too, but it just kind of reinforces the need for as we see these things change, we've got to make sure that kiddos get access to that too.   Tiffanie (09:05.462) Yeah, and I think that's space of innovation as well that you just mentioned, the nutritional counseling. That's not something that's always been there. It's been there to a level, right? We know like soda, and I remember telling kids or being told to swish with water after I ate my lunch at school because I wasn't going to carry my toothbrush, you're supposed to brush. Like I remember all of those pieces. But I think in the recent years, nutrition, I think nutritional counseling in general, in the health industry has become bigger.   situation. It's become a bigger conversation and I know even standing in office with my pediatric   practices, consulting them, watching them work with patients. I've been just amazed at the level of nutritional counseling that they're giving the kids and the parents. And like you said, we're working with the parents. It's two experiences there, but really honing in on what are you eating and how it's affecting. And I think one of the biggest spaces that I love the most, is really being able to see like...   acid reflux, right, for one thing, but even just like the tongue thrusting, the different habits that they're able to see because of what the mouth looks like, and then they're able to correct it so early on and really build lasting changes. They can tell just by different visual things within the mouth, right? If there's gut issues, does your kid have an allergy? Like, maybe you should go check this out. And they're referring them back to their   there are pediatricians to get nutritional counseling or to get these tests and things done, or there's a lot of them that can be done in dental practices now as well, but really honing in and looking further than we've ever looked before to ensure that these patients are as healthy as possible. And I think that's massive. That's a huge innovation within the pediatric world. And I think it's a really easy space for dentists and...   Tiffanie (10:58.924) for pediatric dentists specifically to really get extra training in. It's offered, you know, everywhere. I've got, you know, we've got gym.   trainers doing stuff like that, taking courses like that. So to be able to have your degree that you've got, your doctorate that you've got, and then add that aspect to it is just really, really freaking cool, in my opinion, and saves so much time and trouble and probably saves the parents a lot of time and trouble in figuring things out or finding out too late. So that was a huge one that you mentioned there. I think one space   One, I love that you highlighted again that it's two experiences. It's the parent's experience and it's the patient's experience. And when I work with pediatric practices, like we're building out avatars to attract the parents that we want because they're gonna have the kids that we want. So we're not talking to the kids, they're not making the decision, we're speaking to the parents.   One thing that I hone in on is the avatar, but then the second step to that is how do we ensure that the parent wants to come back? How are we making them comfortable in the practice? How do we make them comfortable with the diagnosis, the conversations? How are we integrating them into all of this as well? And making sure, like you said, my mom at heart, that the patients are well cared for.   one space we're hitting with the generations, you know, the generations are getting further and further from us. But those generations that we're hitting now, there's a huge attention span differential between even our you know, teens right now already have like pretty low attention span compared though to like our   Tiffanie (12:40.408) are four to eight to 10, like that 16, 13 to 16 is like, gosh dang it, this is kind of kind of annoying, you know, but then you get under 13. And it's like, holy cow, I've got about five seconds to grab your attention. And then you're gonna we were saying like, our kids keep saying, I'm bored. I'm bored. I'm like, oh my gosh, did I hear you say I'm bored before we get to the industry one more time, I'm gonna freak out. But their attention spans are so low. They're so small, because there's so much   stimulation, constantly going around, that we have to take that into consideration, I think, within the dental practice, because we've got to keep their attention, we've got to keep them excited and interested and build an experience that they don't walk away frustrated by, because the parents are taking into consideration their experience. Like, did you have coffee on hand? That's a huge one for the moms out there.   And then did the kid have a good experience? So I think those aspects are massive. And Dana, what did you, we talked earlier and you actually wrote this newsletter. So if you're getting this newsletter, good job, Dana wrote this one. If you're not getting our newsletters, you should go subscribe because they're pretty freaking awesome.   and they're written by the consultants if you didn't catch that there. So Dana, what are you suggesting the practices are seeing practices? I think this works for all practices, by the way, these ideas here, but specifically pediatric dentistry is going to thrive with it. What are you suggesting right now to a lot of your clients that they integrate and innovate within their practice to help keep those attention spans? like here, that they're excited and interested?   Dana (14:14.38) Yeah. Yeah. And I think it's like a twofold. How do I keep them engaged and interested and excited and make dentistry fun? But then also, how do I kind of distract them so that I can do what I need to do in that short amount of time so that they stay comfortable and calm? And so I feel like we're looking kind of at a bunch of different tools. see, you know, I know there's lots of   TVs on the ceilings and and I'm even seeing some virtual reality. You know, kids are always like loving those oculus as I have a nephew that he's constantly like banging into the wall and you hear him on phone calls and I'm like, what's he doing? My sister was like, that's his oculus, his virtual reality game. And so it does allow you to kind of transport kiddos into the next world. So I think that it's, it's just coming up with how can we make dentistry fun? How can we make it engaging and make the patient feel like they're a part of the process? So these   Tiffanie (14:42.808) Yeah.   Dana (15:08.494) things that we use in general too but taking photos and showing them and talking about the icky bugs and like making it fun and in their terms and then also having tools on hand to be able to distract the kiddos that you can really do what you need to do very quickly very easily without minimal hands and minimal squirming so that again it creates that experience that you want them to have quick seamless easy in and out for them.   Tiffanie (15:33.344) Yeah, yeah, the headphones are massive, right? I think the Oculus for the waiting room is brilliant. I know I've got to practice.   beautiful practice and she has a theater room and so they she's got like comfy chairs in there and that's dark and the movies going it's the same movie that's playing in the back and so the kids can go into the theater room but that oculus idea or the VR headsets whichever one you you choose is a great idea to have a little room where it's obviously the kids by themselves for   exactly what Dana said about her nephew, right? Kids are by themselves, but they're playing with that. used to do, I mean, gosh, this is so long ago, but I remember we used to have like a PlayStation one, you know, and it honestly drove me crazy. told you kids are not, I love kids, but.   Dana (16:06.446) you   Tiffanie (16:20.728) kids are not my jam for dentistry, but I would go crazy because it was the PlayStation one. So we had to flip the discs out, right? And so we had like 10 different games, but I had to keep them behind the counter and the kids would come up. But this is a little bit different where one, the kids know how to use this stuff. When we had the PlayStation, the kids did not know how to use a PlayStation. Kids were not like, they didn't understand it and they didn't get it. But now they're teaching us how to use this stuff. Like a six and eight year old could tell you how to use a VR headset.   My kid, he looks at something and he just knows. And I'm like, how did you figure that out? He's like, it's obvious. It's not obvious. I didn't get it. Right? Like, that was not obvious, but it's fine. So all these   these spaces of really making sure that they are super entertained. Like are we making them sit out there on their own phones or do we have things that they can do? Even as simple as like a coloring table. I know I had my boyfriend's kids the other day were walking through. It was old Navy and they were doing some sort of safety something. They had a table set up over the side with crayons and   coloring sheets, those kids flipped. They were so excited, screaming. It lasted about 10 seconds, right? Because it's going to be over quickly. But even just having something like that or having iPads with the color by number app, kids are obsessed with that right now. But making sure there's some sort of, like you said, that distraction, but also in the waiting area, like where are they sitting? And what are you making the parents do? You know, the parents are sitting in their school on their Instagram. So how are you keeping the kids entertained so that both parents or both   sides right are enjoying their time. So I love the VR headset. I love the the movies are still a pretty decent hit as long as you get bluey on there or something. I know it's got to be super relative. Apparently, the Disney movies are not super relative anymore. It's got to be bluey or bust.   Tiffanie (18:10.552) But making sure we have those, think headsets in the back are really fantastic if they're going to be back there for a while. Or if you're going to be using the drill or anything like that, mean noise, have those noise canceling headphones so that they don't understand what's going on. And then one space too, Dana, that I think all practices are starting to implement. And I think it's brilliant for pediatric care because it makes it seamless and easy as the AI tools. So making sure you've got those AI tools, Pearl or   whatever it is that you decide to utilize, download it and working because I mean, Dana, how often did you see, I know just in our practice we'd be like, shoot, like that was hard to see or we just couldn't get to it that something could have been missed, but also like you said, super non-invasive attempts.   Dana (18:58.966) Yeah, yeah, I think AI tools are great clinical AI tools are fantastic as far as helping us diagnose again with like minimal contact within the teeth or in the mouth for the patients. And then even AI for like having a chat for parents because parents right typically work when the office is working. That's why those middle hours are so hard to fill and ding ding pediatric practices, right? So if I've got an AI bot that can chat with my parents after work can get them scheduled can do those things. That makes it so much easier because again, like Tiff said, we've got two experiences   here but our target experience is that parent and so the more that we can make those things easy and again pediatric practices rely on volume right so bones are constantly   Last time I was in a pediatric practice for a visit I was just like the phone does not separate in there are hundreds of phone calls every single day and so having an AI tool that can get the ones that we miss or that can chat with the parent via text or can be available for after hours those types are crucial for pediatric practices because that is when the parent has free time   Tiffanie (20:00.504) So.   Yeah, that's brilliant. That's brilliant. I think that's a wonderful tool. So AI in a lot of different areas. We've got the virtual reality headset, the Oculus or whichever you choose, AI pearl or whatever chair side to get as much value out of that appointment and that chair time as you can. And then also the AI communication tools. think that's brilliant. Virtual assistance is also a great way to handle that because they can work any hours. And so we've got a lot of practices   Pediatric or not that are utilizing virtual assistance to catch those after hours and also I know a lot of practices especially pediatric practices are closed on Fridays or they're closed on Mondays open on Friday So you've got that you've got that four-day work week three or four days and so   The AI tools, the communication tools or the virtual assistant can grab a lot of those missed opportunity phone calls. And I know from the marketing standpoint, working closely with the marketing company for a few of my clients, that is massive.   being able to bring either of those tools in to grab those calls has drastically changed the marketing efforts and increased their results tenfold just because the opportunities were getting missed while we were closed. So I love those and that's brilliant. I think there's a ton of tools here. think kids are digital natives. Kids know what's out there. They know when you're not a digital native. So watch out for that. They will tell you they will call you on it. And if your VR headset is   Tiffanie (21:33.07) is like, I don't know, an Amazon $20 ordered one, they'll tell you. tell you. I'm not saying go spend a ton of money on it. I'm just saying make sure whatever you get is going to keep the attention span of the child and that the games that are on there are quality. I think movies, things like that are fantastic. So my suggestion, my action items for you, really look at the patient experience. Take your dentist cap off.   and say if I had to come here, what would I expect if my kid were coming here? What would I expect? And really look at what your systems and all the pieces that are keeping people's attention, what are those things doing to create that experience for your patient and your parent?   and really take inventory of those spaces. Is there something that we can innovate on that we can just make it better, make it new? You always want to have that seamless experience and make it high end. And if we stay where we are, never innovate or change, we will eventually just die. So don't let that happen. Dana, thank you so much for your nuggets. Thank you for being our pediatric brain here in The Dental A Team and for sharing those tips and tricks. I appreciate you being here today.   Dana (22:49.28) Yep, I always have fun. Thanks for having me, Tiff.   Tiffanie (22:52.062) Of of course. All right, guys, go take inventory, go figure out what it is that you need to innovate on, if anything, and leave us some comments in the section below. Five star reviews are always appreciated. If you've got tips and tricks that you can share with people, people really do go through and read those reviews. So if you've got some, drop them in those reviews. We want to hear them too. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com is how you can reach us. And if you are a practice who's ready to freaking innovate, let us know. We are here to help you along your journey. Dana, thanks   again and everyone we will catch you next time.

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Jeanne d'Hautesserre. Fille de militaire et aînée d'une famille de 13 enfants, Jeanne quitte le Vietnam à cause de la guerre alors qu'elle a 10 ans et arrive en France, dans l'Allier. Elevée à la méritocratie, Jeanne est excellente élève.  Elle entre dans la vie active aux côtés de Jaques Seguela qui sera un de ses mentors. C'est en gérant la campagne de communication de François Mitterand en 1981, la fameuse Force Tranquille, que Jeanne touche au milieu de la politique. En 1993,  elle devient députée et poursuit son engagement dans la vie publique jusqu'à son élection de Maire du 8ème en 2014. Jeanne nous raconte les moments forts de sa vie, professionnelle comme privée, les réussites mais également les coups durs. Lorsqu'elle se sépare par exemple d'une relation toxique pour échapper à des violences conjugales, Jeanne prend le risque de tout perdre et se retrouve SDF durant quelques temps. Mais c'est une résiliante, elle rebondit et retrouve le chemin de l'apaisement. Nous avons également parlé de sa vie de Maire, de comment s'organise son quotidien après des administrés, de sujets majeurs pour les femmes comme la sécurité dans la rue, les éclairages de nuit ou encore les gardes d'enfants que sont les crèches et la difficulté à parfois en trouver une. Beaucoup de sujets abordés lors de cet entretien passionnant avec une femme qui a construit son chemin avec résiliance, force et indépendance.   Belle écoute !    NOTES DE L'ÉPISODE: Le podcast vous plaît ?

This is your host, Jack Gaines. 1CA is a product of the Civil Affairs Association and brings in people who are current or former military, diplomats, development officers, and field agents to discuss their experiences on ground with a partner nation's people and leadership. Our goal is to inspire anyone interested in working the last three feet of foreign relations. To contact the show, email us at capodcasting at gmail dot com. or look us up on the Civil Affairs Association website at www .civilaffairsassos .org. I'll have those in the show notes. Today, we welcome Mick Mulroy to discuss Fogbow, his new humanitarian NGO, and their work in Gaza, Sudan, and Syria. We also discuss the growing number of veteran humanitarian organizations getting involved in some of the most distressed places on Earth. So let's get started. 00:00:57    MIC MULROY I've been to Syria several times, but I haven't been there recently and not since all of the Assad regime. So we are looking at the potential for what we as a group who supports humanitarian efforts can do in Syria. 00:01:11    JACK GAINES I hope Syria straightens out. The new government actually does build out something representative for the population and the economy, that it becomes more centrist. I have a lot of hope. I think we all should, 00:01:21    MIC MULROY have a lot of hope. I think we all should, right? It's a good thing, obviously, that Assad's... gone. I mean, hundreds of thousands of deaths are on his hands. So certainly a good thing. The question is whether the incoming crowd who took government control by force are going to be the reformers they say they are, or are they going to go back to their roots? I think the verdict is still out. We should all hope that's the case. I think the incoming or now the team that's in place is a bit more skeptical than the last. You can tell by whether they call them Jelani or Al -Shirar. That's the first indicator when I was doing my rounds on both the Hill Congress and the Trump team. I think there's criticism on just how inclusive they're going to be. But we should all hope that that is the case and that there's an election soon rather than the four years that I think they've been saying. But certainly when it comes to sections that are more related to Assad. They should be reconsidered, and we should look at what we're doing there long term. With the SDF during the defeat of ISIS, the crisis, if we pull out precipitously, both for our partners, the SDF and for the counterterrorism effort, but also our strategy against Iran and Russia to a certain extent, which right now, I think everybody would stay on their backside, especially when it comes to Syria. But when it comes to humanitarian assistance, there is a dire need, for sure. And I think that is something that a lot of groups are looking at, how they can contribute to the rebuilding of Syria and the promotion of a stable country that looks more inward. Their own people vice becoming a client state to actors don't have best interests Syrians like Russia. 00:03:10    JACK GAINES And it's interesting that with their change of government and Lebanon being able to form a government because Hezbollah has their fingers out of the pie right now. I see it as a real strategic opportunity because if Lebanon can get on its foot, Syria can get on its feet, there could be a whole sea change of policy in that region to where Iran's behaviors are balanced, Russia's behavior are balanced, the nations down there can actually rebuild and have a more stable government and a healthier international relationship. I agree with you, 00:03:40    MIC MULROY I agree with you, Derek. I think this is a very big opportunity for the United States. I use boxing analogies because I used to box. I used to coach boxing in the Marine Corps. This is a point where you see your opponent on the ropes, right? You don't back up. You go in and try to end the fight. I know we're not going to end the fight or the competition between us and Russia, but Ayoun is a partner, obviously the former commander of Lebanese Armed Forces. We have supported them for a long period of time. They were a very effective partner with us, and he was the head of it. So that's a huge opportunity right there. Iran, I think, has many strategic mistakes, and they realize that now, and they've seen it both in their major losses with leadership across the board, their capability, and of course in Syria. I mean, their corridor to fund and supply groups like Hamas and Hezbollah has been cut off, and they just don't have the platform that they have. And I think we should capitalize on that. Our policy should be... The promotion of U .S. interests, part of that, I believe, I don't know if we're going to today, is the promotion of democracy and human rights. But certainly, this is an opportunity to do both, our strategic interests and promotion of democratic values. 00:04:55    JACK GAINES With Fog Bow, you have a pretty heady team. Some folks that I've recognized from other efforts, some new. Ambassador Smith is awesome. Roger Thompson, you've got a lot of great people here. 00:05:06    MIC MULROY of great people here. 00:05:08    JACK GAINES By name only. 00:05:08    MIC MULROY name only. 00:05:10    JACK GAINES Well, Chris, he'd be right there with him. 00:05:11    MIC MULROY be right there with him. Yeah, so FABO is primarily veterans, but we have our humanitarian. And the skills that we have that I think are additive to the whole endeavor, which are air delivery. We've done that in Sudan. We've done maritime delivery in Gaza. We know Austere Logistics. We're a very small company, but we really focused on doing that. And that's why I said Roger's the MVP, right? So we have a lot of former SOF folks. We have a lot of... former special operations veterans, whose skill includes all the delivery and the planning and kind of figuring out hard problems where there's no easy solution. But Roger's done Marine Infantry, but he was also a Marine Logistics Officer. So that's why I say he's the MVP, because that's what we do essentially is logistics. Our mission accomplished, it's food delivered, people in need. 00:06:03    JACK GAINES Right. I've had a couple people on talk about the Triton Pier. Some of the challenges with prepping in Cyprus for it, putting the peer out, getting as much aid as possible out, and how the thing broke up. But similar to that, Fogbo seems to be focused on some of the harder areas to reach with aid. It's not a typical aid organization. You go into very restrictive areas that have real security challenges, and you help make sure that humanitarian effort arrives. so that people can continue to survive until conflicts, until crisis or disasters are resolved. That's a tough space to work in. And that's why we get requested to come in. 00:06:42    MIC MULROY to work in. And that's why we get requested to come in. When it comes to the pier, I would say this. We, Sam Mundy, Ricard General, you probably saw on the site, we briefed the last administration several times on the idea of bringing in aid. The Ameritimese, they came up with the JLOPS, the Joint Logistics on the Shore system. To be frank, we didn't think it was the best. Because of the sea states at the time, it could have been done a different way. But we're Americans, and by God, if the U .S. military is going to push up here from Virginia to Gaza, we're going to support it out of pocket. There's not a whole lot of countries that do something. In the United States, it did something, and it might not have been perfect, but it did still over 33 ,000 tons of food into Gaza when it's needed. So that's done, and we're still working to build facilities that can assist the storage of... Critical food aid, medical aid. For NGOs. The other point on how difficult, just to give you a highlight, in Sudan there was a very substantial population that got cut off from ground delivery of food because of that. Primarily the rainy season cut off the roads and the fighting, of course. They were out of food. And all it took was somebody who could come in there and deliver food via air in a very tightly controlled area because of the conflict. And that's where we fit in. That's de -conflicting battle space and airdrops, austere environments. That's what not just people in Fogbo, but that's what the U .S. military is pretty damn good at. So that's what we did for three months, and I think we did a lot of good. And now the situation has changed. It can get ground to leverage. But that's just an example of what we're doing. We're also looking to expand in others. And it's certainly not just about us. There's a lot of groups doing this out there. And if they see a need for our skill set, Give us a call. 00:08:35    JACK GAINES And I'll put it on the show notes as well. I'm sure this must be an adrenaline rush for a lot of the veterans to actually be out in the mix delivering humanitarian supplies, which is a great reward for the skills that a lot of people have. What kind of feedback have you gotten from your logistics teams, your pilots, your air crew, about what it's like to work for the organization? It really comes down to a mission, 00:08:56    MIC MULROY It really comes down to a mission, right? So we're all there because of mission, which is to enable humanitarian operations. We are a private company. That's why it's really incumbent on us to assist NGOs that are out there doing great work. I think the most feedback I've gotten is actually taking the skills that they learned over 20, sometimes 30 years, in our case, the U .S. military, a lot of it in conflict, and do something like this. So it's, and myself included, have really taken this mission on as important as any mission I've ever had. And that's what I hear. But of course, it isn't about us. I mean, there's other groups that are doing this, and there's certainly other groups that can do this, that get veterans that are really looking for something other than your standard jobs. This is an area where they can really have an impact really quick. 00:09:50    JACK GAINES The reason I bring it up is that I had Scott Mann on, and one of the things he really challenged with, we're all cause -based in the military. We work to a cause. We have a bigger thing we're trying to reach. And people get out. Some go to church, some start a business, some start a pizzeria or a workout joint. But some just struggle with trying to find that sense of cause and how they place it, what they can do with it. And his challenge was it drove him to suicide because he couldn't find his place in life after getting out of the military. And so that's why he looked into other things like acting and writing books and lectures and veterans of care programs. Veterans Without Orders, who does water delivery, because I want to show veterans that there are opportunities out there. We can apply that sense of cause to make a difference so that they don't feel like they're alone in this world. When I was talking to the Veterans Without Orders folks, what they found is being on the ground, a lot of the NGOs were surprised at how fast and efficient they were. They went to Haiti and some of the World Food Program folks were like, wow, how long have you guys been working together? It seems like you've been friends for years. And he's like, no, actually, We had a phone call for 20 minutes, landed, met, got on it. But we just have a common language. We understand what each other's doing. We know we're both here for the right reasons. And you just build that instant trust in order to do a mission. And that's what I assume you guys are seeing there as well. I worked pretty closely with him on the Afghan evacuation. 00:11:15    MIC MULROY I worked pretty closely with him on the Afghan evacuation. My group was called Dunkirk. We weren't a Team America Elite. We also did a lot with Scott. Because that was such a cause near and dear to their heart, that was the first. foray into humanitarian work. And I think that's stuck with a lot of them. And we're seeing a lot of that continue around the world where veterans say, oh, we can really do something here. I think that's great. 00:11:41    JACK GAINES With Kabul on the midst of collapsing, I saw a lot of veterans rallying together to figure out how to get private logistics in there, getting buses, getting private planes. One thing that I bumped into was a lot of NGOs that were desperately trying to get help because they had people that were working with aid and with state and with the military that were not represented on those lists that needed to get out of there because they were part of the cigar report or they were part of distribution and the Taliban knew who they were and they were going to come after them. My part was just plugging those NGOs in with veterans who had logistics, who had access to help them get some of those folks out. But I did notice that... Once people got involved, it's just almost like there was a light came on and said, oh, I don't have to wait for the U .S. government to order me to do something. I can actually go make a difference. I can take my skills and help be a part of the whole foreign policy scheme and actually do stuff. I can do it without having to be a part of aid or state. I can just build an NGO and do it. So I'm glad to see that splintering because I think it's created a lot of opportunities for folks. Yeah, 00:12:47    MIC MULROY Yeah, and it just doesn't need to be about... FIBO, we're just one group of many. My preference would be more about the need, and that is where we're going, right, where the need is. And then to the extent that there's a secondary is the fact that veterans can get involved. They can start their own. They can get involved with us. They can get involved with other groups. We do want to be the promoter of that concept. We get a lot of veterans out there. They need a purpose, I think. But there's also a need out there. It's on both sides of the equation. And I think... The skills that they bring to the table, they are very value -added into this arena. And we've heard that from many humanitarians, quite frankly, who have not been able to figure this out. This is something that we would have put in the too difficult category. So it doesn't need to be about our particular group. I think it should be about the need, which is growing. And on that side, there is massive crises around the world. People should care that they're starving kids in Sudan. And on top of that, the consequences. are going to be felt by everybody in the world if there is massive migration of their ability to feed themselves or their fling and conflict that make it untenable to even exist there. So these are issues that are very human issues that I think anybody, whether they're in Europe or the United States or Japan, should care about, but also because it could dramatically impact where they live because this is not something that's just going to stay contained. There are conflicts that are growing, that are perpetuated in existence. And there are, of course, climate issues. Climate's changing, and that's going to cause mass migration. And not people that are coming with their own means to support themselves. So not just taking care of the immediate need, which is food to people that are farming, but building up their ability to feed themselves has to be part of the long -term equation, or we're never going to get out of that cycle. And then we create these permanent IDK camps. and no chance of a future. So that needs to be done, but there needs to be long -term planning in the international community. I think from the U .S. perspective, I think we should lead it, but I don't think we should be it. This needs to be a joint effort by the international community. Actions are what count. So that should be a collective effort of the international community, which the United States would be a part. It'd certainly lead, in my opinion, but it needs to be much more of a collective effort. Some people... I'm just not used to seeing a lot of veterans in the humanitarians here. And there has been some like, wow, you guys are military. What are you guys doing here? And for the groups, the veterans that are out there doing it, if they're asking my opinion, I'd say just be clear. Don't worry about justifying your purpose in the humanitarian. There's never going to be too many people trying to help people around the world. So just drive on, do good work, and they'll either appreciate it or they won't. But I do hear that from other veterans that get into the area. To your point. Very few people serve in the United States, just the way it is. It's a very small group. Not to be corny, but it is a family. It's almost like there's characteristics that you just notice immediately across the services that you just have a commonality. So you talk to say, why would you think? Generally the same way, you're very mission -oriented, and that's something that's covering to a lot of people when they get with other veterans. In veteran suicide, it is a serious problem, and there are people addressing it, and I think they're doing great work. But one of the things I found, and you referenced it when it comes to Scott, is you don't have a purpose. From what I've seen, people can go downhill pretty quick. You go into a pit. And I live in Montana. I love Montana on a veterans here and coming. Some of the guys live in a pretty remote area. Some, like myself, live pretty close there. And when we do vet events, you basically send guys out to get other guys and say, yeah, I'll tell you no for an answer. They need to come in. They need to be around their people. They need to... shoot the shit and rib each other's and smoke a cigar or add a bourbon or whatever their thing is. But you got to go out there and find these guys. And some of them, they might appear to be okay, but next day they're not. 00:16:49    JACK GAINES Let me know if I have this picture right. You've created the Lobos Institute, which is kind of a training and preparation for people who want to get out and work in the humanitarian space or do outreach or work with partner nations. Outreach. to enable people to either help you with your outreach and your programs or to create their own space. And then you have Fogbo, which is kind of your operational arm where you are focusing on humanitarian assistance through Fogbo as when a filter for people who come through the Lobos Institute or other volunteers, but it's also a way for you to get into helping support others in need around the world. Is that kind of a clear way that you align this? Lobos Institute, 00:17:30    MIC MULROY Lobos Institute, three main components. One's like a think tank. where people learn and discuss issues of national security. The second part is tactical training here in Montana. So it's, as you might catch, mountain warfare, because everybody thinks winter warfare when I think of Montana. But the main effort is the enabling of humanitarian operations. And we've worked with the UN and Yemen, with the State Department in Afghanistan after withdrawal. And we're doing a lot of this with FABO in Sudan. As I mentioned, we don't do security sort of thing. It's important and there's groups to do it. That's cool. But it's not us. So my perspective, I would like to see more attention on some of these international and humanitarian crises. It's not something that exists simply on the other side of the world. And I'd like to see the extent that veterans are looking for something to do post -career, of course, military veterans, but State Department, the agency, et cetera. This is a place that I think they'll find meaning and purpose. And I think we all need that. 00:18:32    JACK GAINES Right. Crisis and disasters also attracts opportunism. I think a lot of people realize that with Afghanistan, that we're just feeding the wrong animal in a lot of ways. And that we just have to understand that with our aid and our foreign policy, that anytime that we give something, every time we build something, we also attract opportunism. And we need to make sure that when we're handling the government's business, We're doing it in the right possible way with the right checks and balances so that we're not just passing off vaccines to someone who's going to just sell them on the black market so that they can go to London and party. There's a lot to be learned from the time we spent in Afghanistan on the military side and on the diplomatic side, 00:19:08    MIC MULROY There's a lot to be learned from the time we spent in Afghanistan on the military side and on the diplomatic side, but certainly on the aid side and foreign assistance. When it comes to that, a lot of great work done by a lot of great people. But we need to take the lessons learned from that as well, because I think there's a growing concern that... The United States is the biggest donor around the world, which I think we should be proud of, but it's almost taken for granted. And a lot of it is not actually getting to the people whose it's intended to. Which my humble opinion doesn't mean we stop, it just means we get better at. That needs to be better explained to the American taxpayer who ultimately are the ones paying the bill. That's, I think it should go without saying, but I am saying it because I think there's a backlash and we don't want that to be the case. from the American people on what they view as just like an endless credit card for crises around the world from the American people without proper safeguards. And I think we need to get to a place where they feel more confident that's the case and where they feel it's aligned with our overall interest. 00:20:12    Close Thanks for listening.
