Jeff Latture serves as Executive Vice President at Barnhart Crane and Rigging and as chairman of Strategic Resource Group, but his journey into collaborative generosity began long before boardrooms and grant strategies. Growing up in Arkansas, he watched his parents come to genuine faith, yet it was later in Dallas through a vibrant church community and a pivotal sermon from Bill Bright, that his faith became personal. A simple conversation with his future wife about missions planted an early vision: if they could not go, perhaps they could send. God reshaped that vision when He closed the door to starting their own business and instead led Jeff to Barnhart, a company committed to investing its profits in the Great Commission. Over three decades, Jeff has helped cultivate GROVE, Barnhart's internal collaborative giving team, and advance a mutual fund model of ministry through the Strategic Resource Group. He has learned that wise generosity requires shared mission, deep relationships, patient trust, and a willingness to surrender control. Collaborative structures, clear strategy, and long-term partnerships have multiplied Kingdom impact across frontier regions. This conversation offers a thoughtful vision for pursuing obedience, discernment, and deeper partnership in your own stewardship journey. Major Topics Include: Give collaboratively, not independently Build trust through long-term relationships Shifting from transactions to partnerships Organize giving around focused teams Leveraging business wisdom for Kingdom impact Investing in ministry capacity and health How to balance metrics with Spirit-led discernment Surrendering control in stewardship QUOTES TO REMEMBER “What I really wanted in starting a business was to be in control. And God wasn't going to let me have that.” “He said, I'll let you serve the ones in control, but I'm not going to let you be the ultimate steward.” “We would never have thought ever that we would have the viewpoint that we have for what God's doing around the world. But it just started one relationship and one gift at a time.” “Giving together is way better than trying to do it on your own.” “You just learn faster in a group than you can by yourself.” “It's our secret sauce is doing things together and getting the thinking of many people pointing the same direction.” “A good collaborative will cost you something. You have to give up some rights for a collaborative to work.” “Knowing the heart of the leader is the most important thing.” “It's very relational. We like to measure things. We're a bunch of engineers. But it's really the relationships that drive us.” “If we'll go to God first and really lean in to listening to what Scripture says and what the Holy Spirit is saying before we make those funding decisions, somehow it comes out with a better result.” “My personal experience over 30 years, He will do far more than you can ever imagine with the things that He's given you.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Alan Barnhart (see our past interview here) When Helping Hurts (see our interview with coauthor Brian Fikkert) Mission Increase Strategic Resource Group The India Alliance IllumiNations Bible Translation Alliance (see our interview with Todd Peterson or John Chesnut) MacLellan Foundation (see our interview with Director of Generosity, John Cortines) Mergon Doug Cobb, Founder of The Finishing Fund (see our past interview here) Achieve Alliance BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Matthew 28:19–20 | The Great Commission “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” TAKE A STEP DEEPER On the Finish Line podcast, we are all about stories, seeing how God draws us into generosity over a lifetime. But sometimes these stories can leave us thinking, “What's that next step look like for me?” That's exactly why we've launched a whole new podcast called Applied Generosity which explores the full landscape of the generous life across 7 different dimensions of generosity. Applied Generosity helps make sense of the hundreds of stories we've shared on the Finish Line Podcast to help you find that best next step.

Send a textIn this episode of Deconstructing Comp, we're joined by Greg Hamlin, Senior VP and Chief Claims Officer at Berkley Industrial Comp (a Berkley Company), for a grounded conversation about the role empathy plays in workers' compensation and why it is so essential in our industry, particularly when communicating with injured workers. Greg shares observations from his experience about how empathy influences communication, decision-making, and trust across claims, leadership, and organizational teams. We explore how understanding a person's perspective, whether it's an injured employee, a claims professional, or a business colleague, can shape how issues are identified, discussed, and resolved.We also chat about how Greg has been able to encourage and develop empathy at the claims desk within his organization. No big surprise, it starts at the top, and Greg talks about what it means to empower his claims professionals. Throughout the episode, we reflect on how empathetic approaches can reduce friction, support clearer communication, and create conditions for better outcomes, without tying empathy to any single role, title, or function. Listeners are invited to consider how empathy already shows up in their work, and where small shifts in perspective or structure might make a difference.Greg is also a fellow podcast host.

Schedule a free discovery call. https://marriedentrepreneur.co/lets-talk In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Thriving in Tandem, Robert and Kay Lee Fukui sit down with Ford Taylor, chairman of the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce board and founder of FSH Consulting Group. Ford shares his remarkable journey from scaling a struggling two-employee screen-printing shop into a $300M, 2,000-employee enterprise to ultimately redefining success when business growth came at the cost of his marriage, family, and personal well-being. His story is a sobering reminder that external success can hide internal brokenness—and that unchecked ambition often extracts a hidden toll at home. At the heart of the conversation is a defining moment every busy entrepreneur needs to hear. Ford recounts the night his six-year-old daughter asked him, through tears and ice cream, an innocent question that became the wake-up call that saved his life, redirected his priorities, and forced a courageous decision to realign business leadership with family leadership. Ford candidly opens up about insecurity, burnout, infidelity, and the hard road of rebuilding trust—offering hope to couples who feel trapped between providing financially and being emotionally present. The episode closes with practical wisdom for married entrepreneurs who want to win at work and at home. Ford outlines the guardrails he and his wife put in place—clear communication, shared decision-making around travel and opportunities, season-based priorities, and values-driven clarity. He introduces a simple but profound framework for balancing family, income, health, and community, reminding listeners that success is not about doing everything, but about intentionally choosing what matters most. This conversation is both a warning and an invitation: you don't have to hit rock bottom to change course. Website: https://www.transformlead.com/ Podcast & Resources: https://fordtaylortalks.com/ Key Takeaways Success without alignment is dangerous: Business growth means little if it costs your marriage, health, or relationship with your children. Children often see what adults ignore: Honest feedback—even from a six-year-old—can reveal what success metrics miss. Clarity creates peace: Defining values, priorities, and boundaries before opportunities arise removes guilt, conflict, and indecision. Guardrails protect trust: Openly discussing travel, time, and commitments strengthens both marriage and business leadership. Seasons matter: There are times to lean into work and times to lean into family—agreement and communication make both possible. You don't have to break to rebuild: Learn from others' stories so change can happen proactively, not painfully. Bio Jerry "Ford" Taylor grew up in Paris, Texas before heading to Texas A&M, where he earned his BBA in Business Management—but his most unforgettable college credential wasn't academic. Ford and his soon-to-be wife, Sandra, became campus favorites by teaching disco and country western dance to thousands of students, a 16-year run that revealed an early gift for equipping people with confidence and connection. After graduation, Ford stepped into retail management, unaware that the entrepreneurial chapter ahead would redefine his career. In 1982, Ford and Sandra purchased a struggling two-employee screen-printing shop, C.C. Creations, and transformed it into a powerhouse. Through acquisitions and growth, Ford eventually became CEO of Brazos Sportswear, a 2,000-employee, $300-million leader in screen printing and embroidery. His business impact earned him recognition as Texas Small Businessperson of the Year and a top-10 finalist nationally. In 1998, after decades of building and leading high-growth companies, Ford pivoted toward leadership consulting—first as a Senior VP at Great American Insurance, then as an ordained minister committed to helping leaders remove constraints and build healthier cultures. Today, Ford is the founder of FSH Consulting Group and Transformational Leadership, training organizations across the U.S. and around the world. He has delivered leadership development and conflict-resolution training in more than a dozen nations, authored the best-selling Relactional Leadership, co-wrote The Hike, and hosts the podcast Ford Taylor Talks. A sought-after speaker and board member—including Chairman of the Board for the U.S. Christian Chamber—Ford continues to blend business excellence with servant-leadership influence. He and Sandra, married since 1981, have three daughters and a grandson, and their legacy continues to ripple through every leader, team, and city they serve.

Manufacturers do not have a data problem. They have an execution gap. The dashboards exist. The reports are generated. The KPIs are reviewed. Yet too often, action stalls between insight and impact. In this episode, Jan Griffiths and Tom Roberts sit down with Zack Sosebee, SVP of Operations & Customer Success at Redzone, to explore what changes when data moves beyond visibility and into the hands of the people closest to the work.Zack shares a clear and practical vision of the connected workforce. Not as another layer of software. Not as another reporting system. But as a system of action. By giving frontline operators simple, real-time visibility through red, yellow, and green performance signals, manufacturers create clarity in the moment decisions are being made. That clarity builds accountability. And accountability drives results.What makes this approach powerful is its simplicity. Instead of overwhelming teams with endless metrics, Redzone focuses on a few meaningful signals that operators can influence hour by hour. When teams see performance in real time, they respond in real time. Maintenance is called sooner. Problems are escalated faster. Peer-to-peer competition becomes a positive force. Execution accelerates because ownership shifts to the frontline.But technology alone does not transform a factory. Coaching does. Zack explains how culture change happens when leaders reinforce new behaviors, close feedback loops, and respond quickly to issues raised by operators. When a long-tenured employee logs a safety concern and sees it fixed the same day, trust is built. When a retiring expert captures knowledge that strengthens the next generation, pride returns to the shop floor. These are not software wins. They are human wins.This conversation is a reminder that digital transformation is not about collecting more data. It is about empowering people to act with confidence and clarity. When operators think like supervisors and supervisors think like leaders, performance improves. More importantly, culture evolves. And in today's manufacturing environment, the companies that win will be the ones that move from reporting yesterday to deciding what happens next.Themes Discussed in This EpisodeWhat “connected workforce” really means in manufacturingWhy digital transformation often stalls at dashboardsOverall Equipment Effectiveness explained in simple termsRed, yellow, green real-time visibility on the shop floorCoaching vs training in culture changeTurning skeptics into championsEliminating paper logs and manual downtime reportingUsing simplicity to accelerate adoptionTechnology as an enabler of ownership, not oversightEmpowering operators to think like leadersFeatured GuestName: Zack SosebeeTitle: SVP Operations & Customer Success, RedzoneAbout: Zack is Senior VP of Operations & Customer Success at

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt they needed to “fit in” at work rather than show up as themselves.Amy Wilkinson is joined by Fran Ball, Senior VP for UK Supply Chain at Arla Foods, for a thoughtful and refreshingly honest conversation about leadership, culture, and the human side of performance in the food industry.Fran shares her career journey — from engineering and entrepreneurial businesses to leading one of the UK's most complex supply chains — and reflects on how leadership expectations and workplace culture have evolved over time.Together, they explore what authentic leadership really looks like in practice: building trust through vulnerability, setting boundaries, and modelling behaviours that give others permission to do the same. Fran also offers a behind-the-scenes look at Arla's long-term approach to inclusion, including its “30 by 30” gender strategy, built around attracting, developing, and retaining diverse talent.Crucially, the conversation moves beyond women-only initiatives to focus on balance and allyship, why inclusion must work for everyone, and how small, practical changes can have a big impact on retention and engagement.The episode closes with a powerful reflection on choice — being honest with yourself about whether you can truly be yourself at work, and what it means to have the courage to say no.Timestamps00:00:00Setting the tone: choosing authenticity over imitation, and a desire to help others do the same.00:00:10Episode introduction and how the conversation began, first meeting at the Food Manufacturer Awards.00:01:53Career highlights across supply chain, engineering, and leadership, and how each chapter shaped the journey.00:04:46Reflections on how COVID shifted perceptions of the food industry and strengthened pride in the profession.00:07:37What “bringing your whole self to work” really looks like in practice, beyond corporate slogans.00:09:40Why leaders sharing personal struggles creates vulnerability and psychological safety at work.00:13:43The power of pausing, simple self-care, and recognising when you're overwhelmed.00:14:43A deep dive into gender diversity strategy, practical actions, and what real culture change requires.00:18:32Why everyday inclusion matters, and how improving workplace basics can make a real difference for women.00:22:09Why allyship, including the role of male colleagues, is critical for meaningful progress.00:23:15How diversity and inclusion drive better ideas, stronger results, and a sense of belonging at work.00:26:00On being a role model, choosing authenticity, and not having to sacrifice your whole life for your career.00:31:47Looking ahead: attracting new talent, telling the real story of the industry, and why purpose matters.00:34:23Closing reflection: are you truly being yourself at work?

Rick Rule and I discussed several more in this video: https://bit.ly/4riWDVN These critical minerals stocks are exploding higher as the Trump administration takes direct stakes in them and expedites permitting. We are taking the video down November 26th before the Thanksgiving holiday, so make sure you watch it now: https://bit.ly/4riWDVN—NickThe free version of the 343rd episode of Investing in Bizarro World is now published.Every now and then I have a conversation that reminds me just how quickly the world is changing, and how few people actually understand what's coming.My recent discussion with Curtis Moore, Senior VP of Marketing and Corporate Development at Energy Fuels (NYSE: UUUU)(TSX: EFR), was one of those moments.I've known Curtis for over a decade — since back when he was manning booths at the New Orleans Investment Conference and uranium was a four-letter word. We've both been around long enough to see cycles come and go. But the world we're moving into now is different. Faster. More strategic. And for Energy Fuels, more promising than at any point in its history.Curtis didn't even get out elk hunting this year. Not because the season was bad, but because things are moving that quickly in Washington, D.C., and he's been traveling there so frequently in light of the Trump administration's nuclear and critical minerals push. (See the stocks on Washington's buy list here, which includes Energy Fuels)The first thing Curtis and I dug into was Pinion Plain, their flagship uranium project in northern Arizona. The mine is outperforming every early model they ever had: higher grades, lower costs, and thicker zones. Energy Fuels is producing uranium from Pinion Plain for roughly $23 to $30 per pound, a low-cost profile when spot prices are hovering in the mid-$70s. And it's not a small trickle of production either. They're pulling two to two-and-a-half million pounds per year out of that shaft, feeding their White Mesa mill for months at a time. In a uranium market where most projects are theoretical, this one is not only real, but expanding. The company hasn't published new resource numbers, but you can read between the lines that Pinion Plain is far bigger than the conservative three-million-pound figure that's been sitting on the books.Once the ore leaves Arizona, it heads to White Mesa in Utah — the only operating conventional uranium mill in the United States. That alone would make Energy Fuels a strategic asset. But White Mesa is much more than a mill. It's becoming one of the only integrated rare earth separation facilities outside of China. And unlike MP Materials (NYSE: MP), which can only handle the light side of the rare earth spectrum, Energy Fuels' monazite and xenotime feedstock contains the heavies — dysprosium, terbium, yttrium — the ones most critical to defense, robotics, EV motors, and permanent magnets.Curtis disclosed that they've already produced 40 to 50 kilograms of high-purity dysprosium oxide and are on the cusp of producing terbium. He also said something that should have woken up anyone still half-listening: Energy Fuels is the only U.S. company producing heavy rare earth oxides today. That alone puts them in a geopolitical category that few investors understand. Washington does.Which brings us back to Curtis' calendar. Energy Fuels hasn't just been meeting with federal agencies; they've been showing up with real materials in hand — actual kilograms of finished product. In a sea of thousands of theoretical critical mineral proposals, most of which will never be mines, that puts Energy Fuels in rare company. It's no coincidence that the Trump administration approached them, unprompted, to place its Roca Honda project on the Fast-41 permitting dashboard. Curtis believes the project could be fully permitted within a year. Bullfrog and two more breccia pipes are next in line.Continue reading: https://dailyprofitcycle.com/market-commentary/inside-americas-critical-minerals-revival-bizarro-world-343/0:00 Introduction3:48 Uranium Production from Pinyon Plain11:04 White Mesa Mill: The only operating conventional uranium and rare earth mill in the United States19:37 Rare Earth Pipeline: Donals, Toliara, Bahia23:27 Critical Mineral Support from Trump Administration 31:24 Radioactive Medical Isotopes: The Alpha ParticlePLEASE NOTE: There are now two versions: 1.

Top Stories for January 10th Publish Date: January 10th PRE-ROLL: Kia Mall of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 10th and Happy Birthday to Rod Stewart I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Affordability a top concern as lawmakers prepare for Georgia legislative session Srim Academy to host series of free seminars for young parents Christkindl Market drove 77% increase in downtown Lawrenceville visitors All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: Affordability a top concern as lawmakers prepare for Georgia legislative session When Georgia lawmakers head back to the Capitol next week, it’s all about affordability—or at least that’s the plan. House Speaker Jon Burns isn’t mincing words: “We’re laser-focused on making life affordable,” he said Wednesday, pointing a finger at property taxes for crushing the dream of homeownership. “For too many families, it’s slipping out of reach. We’ve got to fix that.” Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are eyeing income taxes. A committee led by Sen. Blake Tillery wants to nix the 5.19% tax for individuals earning under $50,000 (or $100,000 for couples) and eventually scrap it altogether by 2032. But affordability isn’t just about taxes. Rising medical costs? A mess. The end of federal health insurance subsidies? A looming crisis. Burns says the House will tackle health care, focusing on keeping doctors in Georgia by expanding residency programs. STORY 2: Srim Academy to host series of free seminars for young parents Srim Academy, a Montessori school in Norcross, is kicking off a series of free seminars for young parents—because, let’s face it, parenting is hard. Topics? Everything from potty training and screen time battles to fostering independence and getting kids to actually move their bodies. The first session, “Fostering Your Child’s Independence: Lemonade, Ladybugs and Learning,” happens Saturday, Jan. 31, at 10:30 a.m. at 5511 Williams Road. Expect 90 minutes of practical advice, hands-on activities (think crafts and cooking), and maybe even a few lightbulb moments. Led by Srim’s seasoned faculty and guests from Gwinnett Building Babies’ Brains, it’s all about building confidence—for kids and parents. Bonus: giveaways! Details? Visit www.srimacademy.com or call 678-808-9813. STORY 3: Christkindl Market drove 77% increase in downtown Lawrenceville visitors Lawrenceville’s first year hosting the Atlanta Christkindl Market? A total game-changer. Nearly 371,000 people visited the market during its debut season downtown—more than double the attendance from its Buckhead days, even with fewer open days. And here’s the kicker: 159,500 of those visitors wandered over to the Lawrenceville Square, boosting local restaurants and shops by 77% compared to 2024. Free parking, shuttles, and a glowing Winterlight Walk helped draw crowds, with visitors from 48 states. Downtown businesses saw sales jump 5–30%, and vendors reported 20–30% higher sales than the previous year. The collaboration between the city and Gwinnett County was key, with County Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson adding, “This event showed what’s possible when partnerships thrive.” Lawrenceville’s officially on the holiday map. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets STORY 4: 2026 Beer Chaser 5K Registration is open Whether you’re a speed demon or a beer-loving stroller, the Beer Chaser 5K is calling your name. On March 7, Suwanee Town Center Park transforms into a St. Paddy’s Day celebration with a twist—running, sipping, and plenty of green. This isn’t your average 5K. Sure, it’s a Peachtree Road Race qualifier, but it’s also a beer lover’s dream. Choose your adventure: run straight through or stop at five beer stations along the scenic Suwanee Creek Greenway. Each station features a different Georgia brewery, so your taste buds get a workout too. Not into mid-run sips? No worries. Every runner (21+) gets a full beer at the finish line. And the party doesn’t stop there—StillFire Brewing is hosting an after-party with live music, food trucks, and 25 beers on tap. Registration starts at $55 for the straight-through option or $65 if you want those beer stops. Prices go up Feb. 1, so don’t wait. Oh, and don’t forget your festive St. Paddy’s Day gear—there are prizes for best costume, best group, and best kilt. Proceeds benefit Kiwanis Charity, supporting local causes like the North Gwinnett Co-Op and Children’s Healthcare. Details? Head to SuwaneeBeerFest.com/beer-chaser-5k/. STORY 5: Lanier Islands Resort looks back at 2025, forward to an exciting 2026 Lanier Islands Resort just wrapped up a big year—its 50th anniversary—and it’s clear they’re not slowing down anytime soon. Recognized as one of Georgia’s Best Vacation Destinations, the resort is leaning into its legacy while planning some exciting upgrades for 2026. Last year was packed: a new chapel and garden for weddings, a free summer concert series, the return of Magical Nights of Lights, and even a lantern festival that drew 4,500 people. Oh, and they snagged awards from The Knot, WeddingWire, and GolfPass, among others. Looking ahead? A $3 million refresh for Legacy Lodge, a revamped golf clubhouse, and Georgia’s first lighted Par-3 course. Plus, new events like a Fall Songwriter Series. Big things are coming. We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: Rep. Andrew Clyde announces 2026 Congressional Art Competition Hey, high school artists in Georgia’s Ninth District—Congressman Andrew Clyde wants *you* to show off your talent in the 2026 Congressional Art Competition. Got a creative spark? Here’s your chance to have your work displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a whole year. Submissions are due Feb. 20, and the process is simple: send a digital image of your piece first, and if you’re a finalist, drop off the physical artwork by March 13. The theme? Anything that reflects North Georgia—think landmarks, industries, or even your school. Accepted mediums include paintings, drawings, mixed media, photography, and more. Just keep it two-dimensional, under 26x26 inches framed, and under 15 pounds. Oh, and no copying or controversial content—this is about originality. Questions? Call Clyde’s Gainesville office at 470-768-6520. Let’s see what you’ve got! STORY 7: Gwinnett Chamber introduces Elevate Business series The Gwinnett Chamber is shaking things up with the launch of the Elevate Business Series (EBS)—a fresh, expanded take on their long-running Small Business Series. Starting in 2026, this revamped program is all about helping small and medium-sized businesses level up with sharper insights, practical strategies, and tools to thrive. Why the change? Simple: demand. Attendance has been climbing, industries are diversifying, and businesses are hungry for deeper, more advanced content. “Elevate reflects how far we’ve come—and where we’re going,” said Megan Lesko, the Chamber’s Senior VP of Membership. The first event? Feb. 24, featuring Media Frenzy CEO Sarah Tourville on strategic communications.

This roundtable on the role of AI in the biotech sector features Frank Yocca, Senior VP and Chief Scientific Officer at BioXcel Therapeutics, Joanne Taylor, Senior VP for Research at Gain Therapeutics, and Martin Brenner, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer at iBio. The conversation covers the historical adoption of AI in biotech, its current use in drug discovery, and future possibilities. AI is not a new phenomenon in biotech and has evolved from data processing to sophisticated models that can screen vast amounts of data. There is a critical need for high-quality, structured data to train effective AI models, and these experts caution about the hype surrounding AI-generated discoveries and emphasize the need for real-world biological and human testing. Frank explains, "We are all about AI right from the get-go. We sort of inherited that from the parent company, BioXcel, which is now BioXcel, LLC. The company started by deploying data science on big biomedical and other datasets. Much of the data was unstructured and required significant curation, which at first was largely manual. Later, we began deploying more natural language processing and knowledge graphs to predict whether drugs that initially failed but were safe could be repurposed for other indications. More recently, the latest evolution has really been to use large language models and more agentic workflows to generate hypotheses and insights." Joanne explains, "So Gain has had for many years, I think 10 years also, a virtual drug discovery platform where we've been able to screen millions of compounds virtually to discover allosteric binding molecules. But about three or so years ago, we made the change from screening millions of compounds to screening, now we're up to the capability of screening trillions of compounds." "We can screen in days, whereas it would take you months and maybe a year to do high-throughput screening. But in terms of having introduced AI into this system, it means that we can do things better because obviously, if you can screen trillions of compounds, you're screening more of the possibilities, you are going to be making better drugs. At least that's the hypothesis than if you are screening fewer compounds. So it's the fact that this is a fast tool set that makes you able to do things that you wouldn't have been otherwise able to do, but it doesn't necessarily make the process itself that much faster because you are doing much more." Martin elaborates, "So we had the good fortune to start from scratch. We're a very small company. We have made from the get-go the decision that our scientists would be bilingual. They're not only data and AI scientists, but they're also biologists. That makes it a lot easier to translate between the two disciplines. We literally started, or Rubrik Therapeutics started, on the hypothesis that would be a model of structure prediction for proteins. So the company was clearly ahead of its time, and we started by making molecules that set up better than existing ones. And that's, I think, a very low hurdle that a lot of people are doing right now. And you hear sometimes this overreaching argument: we make AI drugs. First of all, tomorrow medicines take 10,000 steps, and enabling three of them is not making an AI drug, but making better molecules. This was the first important step." #BioXcel #GainTherapeutics #iBio #AI #ClinicalAI #ArtificialIntelligence #Biotechnology #DrugDiscovery #PersonalizedMedicine #HealthcareInnovation #BiopharmaAI #ClinicalTrials #RareDisease #Neuroscience #PrecisionMedicine #HealthTech #BiotechLeadership #AIinHealthcare #DrugDevelopment #MedicalInnovation bioxceltherapeutics.com gaintherapeutics.com ibioinc.com Listen to the podcast here

2025 has been a challenging year for advocates fighting for equitable access to care, as the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has upended a legacy of science-based recommendations supported by the research community. In a particularly concerning move, ACIP removed its decades-long recommendation for the proven pediatric hepatitis B vaccine—a decision that puts millions of children at risk of long-term complications from this infectious disease.Joining us to discuss the implications of ACIP's latest action, and how advocacy organizations across the country are responding, is Scott Frey, Senior VP of Public Policy and Relations here at the Alliance.

E649 - Roger Chiocchi - From Advertising Executive to Author, The Brushy Ridge Militia - Parents Take Gun Control Into Their Own HandsAbout the authorEclectic is a word that aptly defines Roger Chiocchi. Constantly questioning, How does it work?, Chiocchi graduated from Ithaca College and then the Wharton School (MBA) with distinction. He then rose through the ranks at mega-agency, Young & Rubicam, to Senior VP where he ran the advertising campaigns for Advil, TWA, AT&T, Sears (the “Softer Side of Sears” campaign), among others. He then went on to eventually become President of Y&R subsidiary, The Lord Group, where he helped transition NYNEX to Bell Atlantic then to Verizon, while bringing in new accounts like The Sports Authority, the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism, and HIP Health Plans.Chiocchi regards himself as a perpetual student, constantly scouring YouTube for lectures on astrophysics, quantum mechanics and human consciousness and whatever else suits his fancy next. But why not? His appetite for knowledge is eclectic.How a School Shooting Turned Suburban Parents into Federal Criminals.Book: The Brushy Ridge Militia is about how the intersection of grief and helplessness leads a group of parents to become so enraged after a mass shooting to conclude that enough's enough, compelling them to commit a major act of civil disobedience.After progressing through the many stages of grief, the parents of the deceased children of Brushy Ridge, Ohio High School lobby Congress to pass tighter gun control legislation. When they attempt to meet with conservative Speaker of the House, Fred Grantham, he refuses and walks right by, emotionless, as they stand outside his office, displaying pictures of their precious children.At that point, they conclude enough's enough.Upon return to their hometown, the parents feel like they've banged their heads against a wall. Why when over half of Americans want stricter gun laws, even after the tragedies of Sandy Hook, Columbine, Marjory Stoneman Douglas and, now, Brushy Ridge, why won't Congress budge?Hank Patrick, an attorney and father of one of the deceased students, tells them it's because of twenty-seven ambiguous words called the Second Amendment. While many gun advocates hide behind those words to protect their right to unfettered access to guns of all types, those words say nothing of the sort, Patrick explains. What they do say is that Americans have the right to form citizen militias to fight a government that has become tyrannical.They decide to be true to the words of the Second Amendment as originally intended and form a citizen's militia, The Brushy Ridge Militia, and scheme to take Speaker Fred Grantham hostage until he agrees to bring more reasonable gun legislation to the floor.By surreptitiously following Grantham's moves and cleverly evading the FBI, the parents intercept Grantham at an apartment building in DC and bring him to a spot in rural West Virginia where no radio transmissions are allowed. For four days, they force him to watch the security cam video of the shooting and morgue shots of their cherished children.Finally, he agrees, but shortly after, recants.https://www.facebook.com/RogerChiocchi/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
