We are coming in hot (think wearing leather pants in the desert hot) for #SCI-FI-JULY Presents: Dystopian Summer 2: Dystopian HARDER.  This week, we talk about WHEELS OF FIRE, a nearly New World movie directed by the famous/infamous Cirio H Santiago and starring Gary Watkins (Hunter), Laura Banks (Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan) and Lynda Wiesmeier (Avenging Angel).   If you haven't seen WHEELS OF FIRE you should know it's very different from the grossly overlooked action/musical, STREETS OF FIRE, starring Michael Pare and Diane Lane.  WHEELS OF FIRE blends everything you loved about MAD MAX and THE ROAD WARRIOR with a pinch of Lucio Fulci's CONQUEST and a heavy dollop of STRYKER.   WHEELS OF FIRE takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where shirts are optional, cars blow up at the slightest provocation and some people are trying to build a spaceship to reach a newly discovered planet.  Trace and his sister, Arlie, find themselves on a crash course of bad decisions that puts them in harm's way at every turn.  Sadly, Arlie gets the worst of it and Trace lacks any sense of urgency to save her.  Instead, he and his handy flamethrower blazes across the sandy abyss getting into fights with everyone he meets until he meets Stinger, a young, leather-strapped ingénue with a pet eagle that sounds like a hawk.  As you might imagine, one of us is not happy about this.  Each of us gives our own Letterboxd description for WHEELS OF FIRE and we spend an inordinate amount of time talking about the Baldwin brothers.  More specifically, the brothers that aren't named 'Alec'.  Can you name 12 movies off the top of your head starring Stephen Baldwin?  We couldn't either.  For all the shows in Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network, head here:  https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/

Unlocking Talent to Advance Healthcare Innovation

In today's MedTech landscape, where technological breakthroughs are redefining what's possible in inpatient care, it's easy to focus solely on the machines, data, and devices driving that change. But behind every innovation - whether it's a surgical robot, a smart implant, or a predictive algorithm - are the people who imagine, build, and continuously improve them. It's this human engine of progress that often determines whether innovation scales, sustains, and ultimately succeeds. At a time when competition for talent is intensifying and industries face increasing disruption, how we develop, support, and continuously upskill our people is no longer a 'nice to have' - it is a defining strategy. Ireland's MedTech leadership has always been grounded in talent, but today, the challenge is evolving. This demands a shift in how we think about talent. It's no longer enough to hire for existing roles. Instead, it is vital to build adaptable and diverse workforces capable of evolving with new tools, technologies, and expectations. Diverse pathways into MedTech Creating a future-ready workforce starts with opening up multiple, accessible routes into the sector, regardless of someone's background, education, or starting point. Not everyone follows a traditional path into a career, which is why flexibility and inclusivity in attracting and developing talent are so important. Apprenticeship models are a powerful example. They offer individuals, including school leavers, career changers, and those re-entering the workforce, the opportunity to gain formal qualifications while contributing directly to real-world projects. At Stryker, we've seen apprentices progress into engineering, operations, and leadership roles. This is proof that talent can emerge from many directions when given the right support and structure. Our programme enables participants to pursue degrees in manufacturing engineering while rotating between academic study and on-site learning. It's not just about gaining a qualification - it's about reshaping career trajectories and unlocking potential that might otherwise go untapped. Equally important are graduate entry pathways, which bring fresh energy and new perspectives into the organisation. Each year, we welcome graduates from a range of disciplines to our nine sites across the island of Ireland. Stryker's graduate programme rotates participants across engineering, finance, and other core functions, giving them exposure to the breadth of the business. It's not just an onboarding tool - it's a way to build a pipeline of future leaders who bring curiosity, adaptability, and cross-functional collaboration to their roles. Together, these pathways - whether through apprenticeships, graduate programmes, or internal mobility - reflect a broader commitment to inclusive growth. By creating multiple entry points into MedTech, including for those coming straight from school or those seeking a new direction mid-career, organisations can tap into a wider talent pool, foster diversity of thought, and build teams that are equipped to lead the future of healthcare. A learning culture Offering training and upskilling opportunities is one thing; embedding a culture of continuous learning is another. That means creating systems, time, and initiatives that make development part of the everyday. Our Training Centre of Excellence in Tullagreen, developed in partnership with IDA Ireland, has been designed to make upskilling a key aspect of transformation. The three-year training initiative, developed with the support of IDA Ireland, will equip employees at Stryker's Tullagreen facility with the agility and skills for the future of work, promote innovative thinking, and embed a culture of continuous improvement, and advance sustainability. But it also reflects something more fundamental: when people feel supported to grow, they stay engaged, motivated, and committed. That support extends beyond formal programmes. Every employee in Stryker Ir...

In this episode of Caring Greatly, K. Elliott Higgins III, MD, is Director of Health and Wellbeing for UCLA's Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, shares the origin of the Wellbeing Influencers Survey for Healthcare (WISH). The survey initiative began when Dr. Higgins and his team wanted more insight into specific drivers and barriers for wellbeing. He describes the process by which he and his team collaborated with an extended team of content experts to identify the eight critical drivers of team member wellbeing and then validate a set of questions that accurately assess these drivers and reliably predict key outcomes including burnout, intent to leave and professional fulfillment. Finally, Elliott shares the ways that the WISH survey is helping to facilitate culture change and team alignment by creating a shared lexicon and helping teams focus on changes that have the biggest impact on safety and wellbeing. He also outlines the team's efforts to test the survey's value in multi-center trials within anesthesia, as well as trials in other specialties, with hopes that the survey will help to improve cultures of care team safety and wellbeing across the healthcare ecosystem. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Stryker.

In this Caring Greatly episode, Terri describes how overwhelming and difficult experiences get recorded in a person's body and psyche as trauma. She explains how trauma coping skills such as compartmentalization and detachment can serve care team members in the short-term, but can lead to trauma triggers later that result in emotional overwhelm or physiologic distress unless the traumatic experience is immediately addressed and effectively processed. Terri shares how trauma processing can happen individually, with peers or with professional support. Given the likelihood of exposure to traumatic events, it's important for care team members to learn techniques and skills they can use to heal. It's also important to know that support is available and acceptable to seek. Terri shares a personal story about losing a loved one to suicide. She explains that feeling vulnerable and safe to talk about traumatic events and accepting that humans experience trauma can normalize seeking help and learning recovery techniques. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Stryker.

Show Notes: Bonni Theriault initially went to business school and worked as a business analyst at McKinsey for a few years, where she worked with consumer products for companies and marketing. After working at Pepperidge Farm for a couple of years, she decided to build her own company and joined forces with a woman who was the head of advertising at Campbell Soup, and together they launched a brand strategy company where they worked for companies like Cadbury Schweppes, Johnson and Johnson, and Stryker. From Marketing to Coaching to Global Emergency Care After 13 years at the company, Bonni found herself tired of constantly pitching to employers and sought coaching roles. She had previously worked closely with the McKinsey assessment team, coaching candidates and helping them improve their interview skills. And so, with the experience under her belt, she returned to McKinsey as a professional development manager. When her oldest son turned 14, she took two years off to spend more time with her children and also volunteered with Global Emergency Care, an organization that trains emergency medicine nurses in Uganda. She worked with Global Emergency Care's marketing and fundraising for two years on a volunteer basis. The Role of Chief Partnerships Officer at Generation When Bonni decided to return to work, she wanted to stay in the social sector but was offered a position at McKinsey. She worked there until an opportunity at Generation was presented. Generation is an independent non-profit that works with unemployed individuals. Bonni has now worked there for seven years. Bonni explains that her responsibility as chief partnerships officer includes global fundraising and employer partnerships for Generation, a company operating in 17 countries worldwide. They train across 40 different professions, based on labor dynamics in each country. They conduct extensive research before starting a training program to identify job vacancies and bring learners from historically underrepresented groups, and they focus on employment in five different industries: tech, green jobs, customer service and sales, skilled trades, and healthcare. They also teach behavioral skills and the importance of having a growth mindset.  The Impact of AI in Job Forecasting and Training AI has been a topic of interest for Generation, as it impacts the skills needed to train learners in specific roles. Bonni explains that they have analyzed various roles, including entry-level roles, which may go away entirely or be significantly impacted by AI, and roles that might have a different set of skills. Jobs such as solar panel installation or healthcare, are likely to be more resilient over time in the face of AI. They are also considering more jobs in the data center technician category, where tech roles are more hands-on and dealing with equipment than providing coding or IT support. How Generation Is Using AI The organization is using AI to deliver training to learners and alumni, ensuring they have the necessary skills for their jobs. They have created AI modules for learners and alumni to help them upskill and remain relevant in their work. AI is also used to help develop the curriculum, with chat bots helping learners answer first-line questions and focusing on more complex material. This helps streamline the curriculum creation process, as it often involves research and talking to subject matter experts. Operational efficiencies are also being used to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Working as a Professional Development Manager  The conversation turns back to Bonni's as a professional development manager at McKinsey. She mentions that a lot of time was spent negotiating with partners and consultants to find the right balance between professional growth and client needs. She built relationships of trust between consultants and partners to influence decisions in a way that was best for everyone involved. She also focused on performance evaluation, helping people understand their strengths and areas for improvement, and helping them find ways to build skills through studies, formalized training, coaching, or mentorship.  Marketing Goldfish and Chocolate Bonni shares her experience working on marketing Goldfish, a product that was initially marketed as a snack for adults drinking beer in bars but later was marketed to moms as an appealing snack for children. She also discusses her experience working with Cadbury, a chocolate brand that had over 150 chocolate brands worldwide. She worked on a brand architecture project to help consolidate these brands and increase their advertising dollars. She was sent boxes of chocolate bars from around the world to analyze packaging and brand identity and helped create seven mega brands for Cadbury, which led to a significant increase in their chocolate market share. Influential Harvard Courses and Professors Bonni mentions a course taught by Professor Dominguez where he focused on critical thinking. He presented different perspectives on events, presenting different sides as the truth. This skill has been passed down through her life and has become essential in today's world. Bonni wishes more classes would take this approach, as it helps students analyze and think critically about various situations and perspectives. Bonni's experiences with Professor Dominguez's course and her critical thinking skills have shaped her life and career.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris board the Cartoon Express for a very strange episode of Mortal Kombat: Guardian of the Realms. This cartoon was surprisingly watchable in comparison to a handful of other things they've watched, but was it good enough to take the top spot for the year? Why the heck is Ron Perlman voicing Stryker? Why the heck is Stryker in this show in the first place? Let's find out! Then, in Week Old News, Limited Run Games gets itself in a whole heap of trouble. The 3DS leaves the Louvre, GTA VI shifts its date, and more! Finally, in The Checkpoint (it has a name now!) Dan and Kris once again had busy weeks. Dan is still really enjoying South of Midnight, while dealing with some fresh health issues in his house. (Don't worry, he's fine). Meanwhile, Kris had an epic battle with UPS, rediscovered his love of Rogue Squadron II, and more! Enjoy!

It's built around the Stryker vehicle—an eight-wheeled, armored platform that's lighter than tanks but more robust than typical infantry transport. The SBCT is one of three main types of brigade combat teams in the Army, alongside infantry (IBCT) and armored (ABCT) variants, and it's meant to fill the gap between the highly mobile but lightly equipped infantry units and the heavier, slower armored units. An SBCT typically consists of about 4,500 soldiers and over 300 Stryker vehicles, organized into several battalions: three infantry battalions, one reconnaissance (cavalry) squadron,
