How is Trump's second term going? One year into President Trump's second term, how much of the "America First" agenda has been realized?

In this episode, I sit down with Bob Lambert, who draws on decades of real operating experience building iconic consumer brands like Nerds to explain why sustainable growth doesn't come from clever campaigns or chasing trends. It comes from clarity, curiosity, trust, and a deep understanding of how people think, feel, and make decisions. He breaks down why so many founders struggle to stand out despite having more technology, data, and channels than ever, and how unclear messaging quietly limits revenue and momentum.Our conversation shifts beyond marketing and into leadership and culture. Bob explains how trust erodes inside teams, why leaders lose effectiveness when they stop asking questions, and how creativity suffers when organizations prioritize speed and scale over understanding. As AI and automation accelerate, he makes the case that human connection, judgment, and empathy are becoming more valuable, not less, and that founders who ignore this will fall behind no matter how advanced their tools are.You'll learn:✅ Why most founders misunderstand what actually makes brands resonate✅ How creativity, curiosity, and observation drive durable growth✅ Why unclear messaging quietly kills differentiation and trust✅ How leadership and brand failures often stem from the same root problems✅ What decades of brand-building still teach founders in an AI-driven worldIf you're a founder or entrepreneur trying to build something that compounds over time, communicates more clearly, and creates products and brands people actually care about, this episode offers a hard-earned perspective you won't get from trend-driven advice.Connect with Bob LambertGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertjlambert/Guest Website: https://www.human2humanllc.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

Recently, I was discussing AI with a friend, and they asked me to name a great success of using AI to build software. I've tried a few things, and I've worked with customers who are using AI tech. However, most of the things I've seen built with AI are small tasks; they're utilities or quick wins that change a minor part of the software. The items tend to be tactical and focused in a narrow band of fixes, and they might save a programmer time, but I'm not seeing large-scale team improvements in productivity. Yet.

Welcome to Best of 2025, Part 2. This collection of episodes reflects some of the most meaningful, challenging, and quietly powerful conversations of the year, the ones that sit at the intersection of clinical excellence, emotional labour, and human experience.We begin with After Death: Understanding Grief in Pre-Hospital Care with Liz Gleeson, Part 2. This episode gave language to something many clinicians carry but rarely articulate: the weight of loss, the presence we hold for families after life has ended, and the cumulative impact that grief has on those working on the frontline. It was a reminder that what happens after death matters just as much as the care delivered before it.From there, we move into one of the most high-stakes scenarios in medicine with Paediatric Cardiac Arrest featuring Paul Banerjee, Paediatric Series Part 3. This conversation explored not only the clinical complexities and time-critical decision-making involved, but also the emotional intensity of managing cardiac arrest in children, and the importance of preparation, teamwork, and reflection in some of the most difficult calls we face.The focus then shifts to leadership, representation, and culture with Women in Critical Care: The Journey, Challenges, and Successes in HEMS with Sophie MacDougall, GWAAC Series Part 2. This episode highlighted the realities of working in high-performance, high-pressure environments, the barriers that still exist, and the progress being made. It was an honest and necessary discussion about inclusion, mentorship, and what strong, compassionate leadership looks like in modern critical care.We then turn to one of the most urgent issues facing pre-hospital services with Suicide Prevention on the Frontline, Mental Health Part 2. This episode addressed the role clinicians play not only in crisis intervention, but in recognising risk, having difficult conversations, and understanding our own emotional responses. It reinforced the idea that suicide prevention is not confined to mental health services; it is part of everyday frontline care.We close Part 2 with Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: The Condition We Often Miss. This conversation challenged assumptions, highlighted diagnostic blind spots, and reminded us that not all chest pain fits the patterns we expect. It was a powerful example of how listening carefully, maintaining curiosity, and questioning heuristics can directly change patient outcomes.Taken together, these episodes reflect the depth and diversity of modern pre-hospital and emergency care, from grief to resuscitation, from equity and leadership to mental health and diagnostic precision. They are conversations that stayed with many of you long after the episode ended. Thanks again to PAX Bags, our long-term sponsor of the podcast.

Professor Toby Wilkinson. Egypt's wealth allowed the Ptolemies to hire mercenaries and engage in arms races involving African war elephants against Seleucid Indian elephants. Despite early military successes like the Battle of Raphia, the dynasty began to decline with the accession of child kings like Ptolemy V, leading to internal factionalism. 1846

In South Dakota, distance running rarely comes with a spotlight.Mikah Peters earned one anyway.The Brandon Valley senior spent years quietly building belief, never assuming he'd be the best guy on his own team, let alone a national contender. Progress came slowly. Intentionally. Through seasons of patience and an offseason obsession with getting better.In November, that belief finally crystallized. Peters won the SDHSAA Class AA State Championship in 14:54, breaking Simeon Birnbaum's long-standing state meet record.The season didn't stop there. After falling from glory at NXR Heartland, Mikah earned the Golden Ticket and lined up at the inaugural Brooks Cross Country Nationals in Balboa Park. Against the deepest field of the year, he raced with composure and control, finishing 20th overall to earn All-American honors on the sport's biggest stage.The performances mean more in context. One year earlier, Peters passed out while leading the state meet, battling illness and extreme heat. The season ended abruptly. That moment lingered. It reshaped how he thought about trust, execution, and what championship racing actually demands.As Mikah said: "The desert teaches you more about water than the ocean ever will."If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following The Sunday Shakeout on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and leaving a five-star review.

This week, Joanne welcomes horticulturist Stephen Biggs back to the podcast to talk about his latest project, the newly expanded Canada Gardener's Journal. About Steven   Steven was recognized by Garden Making magazine as one of the "green gang" making a difference in Canadian horticulture. His home-garden experiments span driveway straw-bale gardens, a rooftop kitchen garden, fruit plantings, and an edible-themed front yard. He's a horticulturist, award-winning broadcaster and author, and former horticulture instructor with George Brown and Durham Colleges in Ontario, Canada. His other books include Grow Olives Where You Think You Can't, Grow Lemons Where You Think You Can't, Growing Figs in Cold Climates, Grow Figs Where You Think You Can't, and No-Guff Gardening, available at foodgardenlife.com. Tune in to learn more about Canada Gardener's Journal. Origins of the Gardener's Journal Started 34 years ago by Margaret Bennett Alder Inspired by her father's paper booklets he used to manage tasks and meds Margaret used the format to track garden tasks, neat plant sources, and observations First year: ~50 copies printed; grew to 500 the next year By the 25th edition (2017), and her retirement at age 90, over 18,000 copies sold Margaret passed away at 98; the journal is part of her gardening legacy Evolution of the Journal Originally the Toronto Gardener's Journal, then the Toronto & Golden Horseshoe Gardener's Journal Taken over by Helen and Sarah Battersby (TorontoGardens.com), who expanded its geographic scope and won awards Now passed to Stephen, who has turned it into Canada's Gardener's Journal What's New in Canada's Gardener's Journal Now Canada-wide and bilingual, with information relevant across the country Includes average first and last frost dates using the most recent Environment Canada data Expanded sources list featuring Canadian suppliers that ship across the country (seeds, nursery stock, etc.) Ongoing plan to update sources as new nurseries and seed companies are suggested From Toronto-specific to Seasonal Tasks Old version: weekly tasks tied to the Toronto area and similar zones New version: season-based task lists (spring, summer, fall, winter) Includes outdoor tasks and indoor prep (seed starting, planning, etc.) Better suited to different climates and zones across Canada (and similar U.S. regions) Perpetual Calendar Format Previously: a dated, year-specific planner (e.g., 2024, 2025) with fixed calendar weeks Now: a perpetual, undated week-by-week layout Gardeners can start using it at any point in the year Can stretch use over more than one year if desired Focuses on periods of active gardening rather than wasting pages in off-months Practical, Hands-On Focus Designed by a gardener for gardeners—light on theory, heavy on practical prompts Space for gardeners to record: What they planted and when Weather patterns and unusual seasons Successes, failures, and plant sources Acts as both a planner and a historical record for future decision-making Why Garden Journaling Matters  Memory is unreliable: gardeners quickly forget how wet/cool or hot/dry a season actually was Notes and photos together help explain: Why certain plants thrived or struggled How changing climate and shifting zones affect timing and plant choices Useful for: Answering client questions (for designers like Joanne) Tracking long-term trends in weather and performance Diagnosing issues (e.g., why tomatoes didn't ripen as usual) Climate Change & Updated Data Growing zones and frost patterns are shifting with climate change The journal uses the latest Environment Canada frost-date data Stephen expects ongoing updates in future editions as data and climate continue to change Honouring Founder Margaret Bennett Alder Margaret was passionate about a plant-based diet, which she linked to her longevity The journal has long included pages of her favourite plant-based resources Stephen has expanded this section with new Canadian sources in her honour Availability & Price Price: $19.95 – positioned as an affordable gift or stocking stuffer Available via foodgardenlife.com under the books section Some specialty garden retailers carry it; retailers are listed on the website Stephen encourages buyers (especially Christmas shoppers) to email him via the site if they're unsure about shipping timelines Although now truly Canada-wide, gardeners in northern U.S. border states with similar zones may also find it very useful Check out Stephen's books and Canada's Gardener's Journal on foodgardenlife.com.

We sit down with Brad Burkhart, Market Development Specialist for Corteva Agriscience, to recap what really happened in the 2025 crop season — and what farmers should take forward into 2026.Brad walks us through the major trends he saw at harvest: disease pressure that showed up across multiple regions, waterhemp surges creeping from edge to row, and early-season conditions that made crop protection decisions more important than ever.We highlight the biggest “wins” of 2025, including real-world in-field results:• Forcivo™ fungicide:High pressure meant fungicide performance mattered. Brad shares field trial results — including one Iowa farm where combining Forcivo with Aproach® Prima delivered 49 bu/A more than untreated acres.• Resicore® REV & Kyro™ herbicides:Farmers leaned on flexible application windows, strong tank-mix compatibility, and long-lasting residuals. Brad shares how an Iowa grower again achieved 8 weeks of waterhemp residual with encapsulated acetochlor in Resicore REV.• Enversa™, Sonic® Boom & Kyber® Pro soy herbicides:Farmers needed solutions beyond dicamba. Brad highlights how Enversa and Enlist One® helped a Nebraska farm eliminate pigweed pressure — and how Sonic Boom and Kyber Pro performed with consistent, broad-spectrum activity and flexible timing up to V4/V5.• Tolvera® herbicide for cereals:A rare new active ingredient hit the market in 2025 — and cereal growers embraced it. Brad shares a Montana farm's success controlling kochia, narrowleaf hawksbeard and wild buckwheat while maintaining strong rotation flexibility.We close with actionable 2026 planning steps, including mapping problem areas, updating weed control programs, and using 2025 performance insights to maximize ROI next season.For more information on Corteva crop protection solutions, visit Corteva.com/us.

How can you accelerate your path to CEO?   In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Dr. Rahesha Amon, CEO of City Teaching Alliance. With 25+ years of leadership experience, Rahesha has been a teacher, coach, principal, and senior executive at NYC DOE before stepping into her current role.   A proud Black woman and fourth-generation New Yorker, Rahesha never dreamed of being a CEO—she once wanted to act, then pursued pre-med. But her all-girls school experience, community encouragement, and resilience helped her find her voice and chart her own leadership path.   She shares lessons for rising leaders: •Own your identity. Authenticity is power. •Trust the process. Successes and failures both teach. •Keep building your toolkit. Seek experiences that stretch you. •Find your board of directors. Surround yourself with mentors and advocates. •Believe in yourself. Look to the light and draw strength from those who came before you. Rahesha's story shows that with identity, faith, and community, we can accelerate our own path to CEO.   Get full show notes and more information here:https://analizawolf.com/episode-116-accelerate-your-path-to-ceo-with-dr-rahesha-amon-ceo-of-city-teaching-alliance

SpaceX Explosion, Chinese Stranding Highlight Private Space Successes and Major Space Failures — Bob Zimmerman — Zimmerman reports on a SpaceX Super Heavy prototype explosion during testing, emphasizing that engineering failures are vital mechanisms for program advancement and refinement. In stark contrast, the Chinese space program's lack of transparency regarding capsule damage resulted in taikonauts being stranded without functional lifeboat capability—a historic first in crewed spaceflight. Boeing's Starliner manned capsule program was downgraded to cargo-only operations due to persistent technical deficiencies, resulting in substantially reduced contract valuation.

In this episode my buddy Cale and I discuss our recent trip hunting the rut in the beautiful countryside of New York. We had an awesome opportunity to hunt a private 500 acres. We experienced both the highs of the highs and the lows of the lows. We hunted in BRUTAL weather conditions the entire trip. With temperatures dipping into the teens, wind gusts to 30 mph and snowy conditions, it did not make for comfortable sits. However Cale managed to get it done on an awesome New York buck! I unfortunately missed what would have been the biggest buck of my life.. BUT overall it was an epic trip, filled with lots of good memories that we'll hold onto forever. I hope you guys enjoy the show! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

PREVIEW — Bob Zimmerman — China's Non-Transparent Space Program Leaves Astronauts Stranded After Capsule Damage. Zimmerman outlines the opaque nature of the Chinese space program, which publicly reports only successes and shields setbacks. Recently, damage to the Shenzhou 20 capsule—possibly caused by space debris—rendered the spacecraft unusable, leaving the crew stranded without a functional lifeboat, an unprecedented occurrence in crewed spaceflight history. China rapidly launched a rescue mission using Shenzhou 22, yet the government's refusal to transparently disclose root causes and technical failure details raises serious questions about program integrity and safety protocols. 1958
