    President Trump and China's Xi Jinping traded handshakes, toasts, and pandas at a diplomatic summit at the White House last week, but beneath all the pageantry, the rivalry between the world's two most powerful countries is only getting more intense. Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Elizabeth Economy joins Ian Bremmer on the GZERO World podcast for a look at what's really driving the relationship between the US and China right now, where each side has leverage, and whether the US is falling behind in the race for global influence and technological dominance. From Beijing's perspective, the second Trump administration has handed China some useful opportunities as well as challenges. On one hand, Washington is no longer pressing Beijing about human rights issues and has stepped back from its leadership role in global institutions, giving China an opening. On the other, the Trump administration still views China as its biggest strategic competitor, both in terms of tech competition and national security. Bremmer and Economy look at the state of the US-China rivalry—from computer chips to AI to space dominance—and where it does from here.

    We start with the sort of household problems that prove nature and plumbing are both actively plotting against us: hornets, yellow jackets, water leaks, and the various methods we use to figure out where the problem is coming from before it becomes a much larger problem. Along the way, we compare pest control, leak detection, and other everyday challenges where the official solution and the solution we actually attempt differ somewhat. We apply the logic of Dungeons & Dragons to ordinary working life, imagining a role-playing game where instead of becoming mighty warriors and wizards, we get ordinary jobs. This naturally leads us to superheroes, because if somebody has extraordinary powers, sooner or later somebody is going to wonder whether those powers could be used for welding or roofing. We consider superheroes whose abilities are spectacularly useful without being particularly heroic. We also get into subliminal messaging, advertising, media influence, superstition, and the myths that can shape what people believe.

    In this episode, Dr. David Jockers breaks down the surprising warning signs of a zinc deficiency, a problem that affects an estimated 25% of the world's population, and likely far more since so few people ever get tested. You will learn what zinc actually does in your body, from powering the zinc finger proteins that support healthy DNA expression to producing superoxide dismutase (SOD) and stopping viral replication, plus the key symptoms that show up when you run low: loss of taste and smell, brain fog and mood issues, thyroid problems, hair loss and premature graying, low libido, white spots on your nails, and frequent infections. Dr. Jockers also covers the hidden root causes that drain your zinc, including blood sugar swings, low stomach acid, excess copper and heavy metals, chronic stress, and common medications, along with the ideal zinc-to-copper ratio on labs, how much zinc to supplement, the best food sources, and his favorite form of zinc. In This Episode:  00:00 Libido Warning Sign 00:24 Podcast Intro And Labs 03:08 Zinc Deficiency Overview 03:56 What Zinc Does 05:41 Key Deficiency Symptoms 08:53 Root Causes Of Low Zinc 12:32 More Causes Stress Meds 13:29 Testing Zinc Copper Ratio 14:38 Supplement Dosing Tips 15:25 Best Food Sources 17:32 Zinc Forms And Glycine 18:02 Wrap Up And Next Steps   Glutathione is your body's master antioxidant, protecting your cells from oxidative stress and supporting your natural detoxification pathways, but the way you take it really matters.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Sascha: Balance of persistent curiosity paired with the practical focus required to run a sustainable business.Sustainable innovation only truly scales when it delivers a clear economic advantage over status-quo alternatives. For decades, aerospace propulsion has relied on toxic, highly explosive, and expensive solid rocket propellants. Sascha Deri, Founder and CEO of bluShift Aerospace, is turning that paradigm on its head by proving that clean technology can outperform traditional fuels while drastically reducing costs.From its headquarters at a former naval base in Brunswick, Maine, bluShift Aerospace has developed a proprietary, non-toxic, bio-derived solid rocket fuel. Beyond being virtually carbon neutral and safe enough to eat on camera, this innovative propellant is significantly cheaper to produce and far easier to transport than petroleum-derived counterparts. As Sascha explained during our interview:“We found that it not only worked, but it worked better than the petroleum fuel... Here's something which is better for the planet. It's virtually carbon neutral, the fuel itself. It's non-toxic... It performs better. It's a little more energy-dense than the petroleum version is, and very easily had all over the United States.”This breakthrough bridges the gap between environmental responsibility and market viability. By combining a high-performance bio-fuel with advanced hybrid rocket engine designs, Sascha and his team are creating scalable propulsion solutions for both research and commercial space applications. They have already achieved a world record by launching a commercial rocket using bio-derived fuel and are now advancing toward full commercialization.“I've always wanted to find that intersection between how technology can benefit humanity and the universe and the planet.”— Sascha DeriTo fund this expansion and scale production, bluShift Aerospace is raising capital from everyday investors through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder. Grounded in community-backed capital and hard-nosed engineering, Sascha demonstrates that aligned incentives can accelerate both planetary impact and business success.tl;dr:Sascha Deri founded bluShift Aerospace to build cost-effective bio-derived rocket propulsion systems.The company's non-toxic solid rocket fuel offers superior energy density at lower costs.Everyday investors can back bluShift's growth through their active Wefunder investment crowdfunding campaign.Sascha defines his superpower as persistent curiosity balanced with pragmatic business execution.Today's episode explores how open feedback and innovative engineering advance sustainable aerospace technology.How to Develop Pragmatic Curiosity As a SuperpowerSascha defines his superpower as a balance of persistent curiosity paired with the practical focus required to run a sustainable business. As Sascha explained, “the first part is the persistent curiosity, sort of that ongoing, like, what if this? Why not that? … Curiosity is great … But then there's time for doing an execution that's really needed to bring that commercial opportunity home. And so I think that's my other sort of, I would say, complementary superpower is the curiosity and then the chill that comes … knowing when to like bring it in … what is the minimal viable product that can get us faster to commercialization.”While visiting his brother's farm in Maine, Sascha noticed an everyday, bio-derived substance sitting on a windowsill. Driven by curiosity, he wondered if it could replace traditional petroleum-derived solid rocket fuels. He spent two weeks preparing the substance for a test burn and discovered that the non-toxic, bio-derived fuel actually performed better and offered higher energy density than petroleum alternatives. Sascha then channeled that initial breakthrough into building bluShift Aerospace and developing commercial-scale hybrid engines.Actionable Tips for Developing the Superpower:Cultivate persistent curiosity by continually asking “what if” and “why not” when examining complex problems.Balance creative exploration with strict execution focused on commercial viability and revenue generation.Remain open to feedback from team members, advisors, and external sources to refine your strategic path.Identify the minimum viable solution needed to bring innovations efficiently to market.By following Sascha's example and advice, you can make pragmatic curiosity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileSascha Deri (he/him):Founder & CEO, bluShift AerospaceAbout bluShift Aerospace: bluShift Aerospace is a propulsion company based in Brunswick, Maine, developing rocket engines and boosters for defense testing, commercial aerospace and suborbital research. Our MAREVL hybrid engine technology uses a proprietary, non-toxic, bio-derived solid fuel and is designed to combine throttle control with simpler manufacturing and lower production costs. Our near-term commercial focus is supplying boosters for hypersonic testing and targets, while continuing to advance applications in scientific research and commercial space. We aim to build a scalable American propulsion business that makes demanding missions more accessible and reduces the hazards associated with manufacturing and handling rocket fuel.Website: blushiftaerospace.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/bluShiftAeroInstagram Handle: @blushiftaeroOther URL: wefunder.com/blushiftaerospaceBiographical Information: Sascha Deri is the founder and CEO of bluShift Aerospace, combining a background in physics and electrical engineering with more than two decades of entrepreneurial experience.

    Airplane Geeks Podcast

    This episode: ETOPS flights could be impacted by the closing of an airport on a tiny South Pacific island. FAA rescinds Cessna Citation single-pilot exemptions. Heart Aerospace unveils the ES-36 hybrid-electric 30-seat regional commercial aircraft and JSX purchase agreement for up to 100 aircraft. A Congressman questions the FAA deployment of the Strategic Management of Airspace Routing Trajectories (“SMART”). The Air Combat Command Accident Investigation Board determined that incorrectly positioned variable vanes caused the F-16 crash in December 2025. A Boeing 737 MAX software glitch could disrupt a navigation feature. Boom Supersonic loses the launch customer for their land-based Superpower stationary powerplant. And pilots are accused of being in a “club” of furry fetishists. Aviation News Midway Atoll's Airport Has No Flights, But Its Closure Could Disrupt Airlines Worldwide Midway Atoll Airport (MDY) in the South Pacific, also known as Henderson Field, is a public airport on Sand Island. Midway Atoll is a 2.4-square-mile unincorporated territory of the United States. With a 7,800-foot runway, the airport primarily serves as an emergency diversion point for transpacific flights. The DOT estimates that the airport needs at least $100 million to stay certified. The Airline Dispatchers Federation (ADF) opposes closing Midway Atoll Airport because it will affect airline operations across the Pacific. ETOPS ratings (“Extended-range Twin-engine Operations Performance Standards) apply to twin-engine jets and specify how many minutes a plane is allowed to fly on a single engine to get to the nearest suitable diversion point. The FAA grants approval for each airframe-engine combination and again to each operator, based on its maintenance and dispatch program. The ETOPS rating process is informal. The FAA grants two separate approvals, one for the design and one for the operator, and both are needed before an airline can fly a route: Type design approval (Aircraft Certification Service) The manufacturer shows that a specific airframe-and-engine combination is suitable for extended diversions. It involves: Design and systems review. The FAA assesses ETOPS-significant systems such as fuel, electrical, hydraulic, APU, cargo fire suppression, and pressurization for redundancy and their ability to keep working through the maximum diversion time, including time-limited systems. Propulsion system reliability. Assess in-flight shutdown (IFSD) rates and the engine’s overall service record. For new engine/airframe combinations without an in-service history, an early or accelerated ETOPS relies on design assessment, testing, and a demonstrated reliability program instead of accumulated fleet hours. The Configuration, Maintenance, and Procedures (CMP) document defines the required airplane configuration, maintenance tasks, and operating procedures that an ETOPS-approved airplane must follow. Operational approval (Flight Standards) Type design approval doesn’t let any airline fly ETOPS routes. Each operator must be authorized through its FAA certificate-holding district office (CHDO). The airline must show that it can: Maintain the airplane to the CMP standard, with an ETOPS maintenance program, ETOPS-qualified maintenance personnel, and procedures such as verifying critical systems after work and monitoring reliability. Dispatch properly, including selecting ETOPS alternate airports with suitable weather and services, and planning for time-limited systems, fuel, and diversion scenarios. Train crews and dispatchers on ETOPS procedures. Conduct a validation process, which for new operators or new airplane types may include proving or validation flights. The FAA conducts ongoing oversight and monitors IFSDs and other events that could affect ETOPS. It can restrict or revoke an approval if reliability degrades. For detailed ETOPS information, including EDTO (Extended Diversion Time Operations), see How Do Planes Fly Over the Pacific? (ETOPS Explained) from Aeruxo – Flight Ops Insights. FAA Rescinding Cessna Citation Single-pilot Exemptions The FAA is rescinding exemptions that allow some Part 25-certified Cessna Citation jets to operate with a single pilot. The exemptions date back to 1984 and had been based on a lack of data showing any negative impact. The FAA’s decision is based on an 18-year review indicating that older Citation jets operated by a single pilot have a significantly higher accident rate than other models. Also, investigations revealed issues such as incomplete training records and unauthorized use of training devices among exemption holders. The ruling is effective September 28, 2026, and affected pilots must operate these aircraft with a qualified second-in-command. Pilots who previously held single-pilot exemptions will lose their privileges.  The FAA has been issuing single-pilot exemptions for transport-category CE-500 variants for over forty years, starting with Exemption No. 4050 to Cessna in 1984. The eight variants covered are the 500 (Citation and Citation I), 550 (Citation II), S550 (S/II), 552 (Navy T-47A), 560 (V and Ultra), 550 Bravo, 560 Encore and Encore+. The exemptions went to training providers, who issued single-pilot logbook endorsements. Heart Unveils ES-36 With JSX Order In Episode 898, our guest was Heart Aerospace co-founder and CEO Anders Forslund. We talked about the ES-30, a hybrid-electric 30-seat regional commercial aircraft the company is developing. Heart just unveiled the 36-seat ES-36 with an additional 1,415 pounds of payload capacity. Maximum takeoff weight and battery capacity remain the same, and the plane now employs two series-hybrid electric powertrains. The changes result from Heart's experience flying the X1 demonstrator aircraft. JetSuiteX, Inc. (or JSX) charters a 30-seat Embraer regional jet that is operated by a subsidiary and then resells seats on that aircraft to the public. It offers point-to-point flights in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Utah, and Baja California Sur in Mexico. JSX's agreement converts a 2023 letter of intent into a deposit-backed purchase commitment and secures early delivery positions for the carrier. See also, press release: Heart Aerospace Unveils ES-36 with JSX Purchase Agreement for Up to 100 Aircraft Beyer Calls For Suspension Of AI System Deployed By FAA At Washington Area Airports In a press release, U.S. Representative Don Beyer (D-VA) says, “The FAA should not use my constituents as guinea pigs for an unproven AI air traffic control system.” He was referring to the FAA's deployment of the Strategic Management of Airspace Routing Trajectories (“SMART”) system to manage flights at Washington area airports. Beyer cited uncertainty among regional residents about air safety, and the lack of public awareness about the change. Air traffic controllers were also neither consulted nor trained, and airlines “were privately ‘panicking' about the hasty implementation of this system.” Beyer serves as co-Chair of the bipartisan Congressional Artificial Intelligence (AI) Caucus. His Northern Virginia district includes Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA). ‘Misaligned' fan blades, loss of thrust caused Thunderbird F-16 crash The F-16CM aircraft that crashed on Dec. 3, 2025, in California was powered by a Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 turbofan. The pilot was rejoining the formation after a vertical loop/barrel roll sequence when the engine stalled. The pilot described it as “the jet just… stopped midair.” He fought the aircraft for roughly four minutes, then ejected at under 500 ft AGL. The Air Combat Command Accident Investigation Board [PDF] determined the mishap was caused by three misaligned or turned variable vanes in the engine’s 4th and 5th stages, which caused a 5th-stage compressor blade and a 6th-stage compressor blade to fracture and separate, resulting in catastrophic engine damage at low altitude with no ability to recover. The aircraft had a documented foreign object damage (FOD) event years earlier (2021, per Common Defense’s reporting) that produced damage in the 1st stage on three separate occasions, plus recovered foreign material at the 4th stage (paracord). Because the visible damage was upstream and nothing was seen in the sections preceding the 5th/6th stage core, that area was never inspected and the investigators concluded the FOD “substantially contributed” to the mishap by leaving a latent path for the vane misalignment to develop undetected.

Boeing flags 737 MAX software glitch: reports The software glitch identified can prevent pilots from accessing an automated navigation feature when they change their planned flight path after a missed approach. Pilots have been notified, and Boeing is working on a software update. The Air Current reports that the software issue emerged nearly two years ago. Boeing “was alerted by a customer in November 2024 to the potential issue affecting 737 models with flight management computer (FMC) updates U14 and 14.1… When a pilot alters their preprogrammed flight path following a missed approach, the FMC may transition from vertical navigation (VNAV) mode to a simpler level of automation for pitch control.” Crusoe abandons $1.25B plan to use Boom turbines at AI data centers In Episode 874, we looked at Boom Supersonic's plan to develop the land-based Superpower stationary powerplant as a derivative of its Symphony engine, generating a revenue stream to fund Boom's other operations. We cited reports that Crusoe Energy, an AI data center startup, had 29 Superpower units on order, valued at $1.25 billion, with delivery expected in 2027. Crusoe has now announced it will not pursue a deal with Boom. Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl posted on X his congratulations to Crusoe on their latest funding round, and: “Also wanted to let everyone know Crusoe and Boom are no longer launching our Superpower turbine together. The TL/DR is that turbines are no longer part of Crusoe’s near term primary power mix at Abilene/etc., so a launch partnership just didn’t make sense.” Further, “Boom will be delivering about 250MW of Superpowers next year to other sites, and we’re targeting 1GW in 2028.” Trump ally Tuberville isn't kidding when he says US pilots are in a ‘club' of furry fetishists Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama claimed on the Senate floor that “many airline pilots, flight attendants and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community.” The International Anthropomorphic Research Project's Furscience website says “furries” are an anthropomorphic animal subculture. Members of this group adopt alter egos known as “fursonas” and wear “fursuit” costumes. Tuberville said, “We got a huge mental illness problem in this country, and we need to address it. We need to address it quick.” The IARP website says, “Furscience is the public face of the International Anthropomorphic Research Project (IARP), studying furries and their fandom and disseminating our evidence-based research to furries, the general public, scholars, and the media to increase understanding and decrease stigma.” Hosts this Episode Max Flight, our Main(e) Man Micah, Rob Mark, and David Vanderhoof.

My superpower is the bridge between the people on the ground who aren't thinking about how to do marketing or to get people to act... I bring their stories and I tell their narratives and I help them go to a much wider audience who then support them.Anxiety is overcome by action. Across the country, tens of millions of independent voters, moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans feel completely overwhelmed by political drift and the sheer volume of choices available. That flood of options causes a form of paralysis where people want to do something to protect democracy, but simply do not know where to start.When I sat down with my guest Paul Katz—Chair and CEO of Entertain Impact Advocacy Alliance, multi-Grammy-nominated producer, author and social impact entrepreneur—he outlined a remarkably simple path to turn that passive concern into meaningful civic participation.Through his initiative, Commit Together, Paul is providing an easy on-ramp for anyone who wants to take a first step, whether they have ten minutes or five hours to spare. Visitors to CommitTogether.org can select their key issues, input their general political leanings and receive three aligned organizations that match their values to take immediate action.Paul's work draws directly on his deep history of mobilizing pop culture for social change, from organizing celebrity advocacy on Capitol Hill to raising awareness for civil rights heritage and global health initiatives. As Paul shared during our conversation:“Anxiety is overcome by action. Doesn't matter how small it is or, you know, just a little step. But we agree that democracy is a good thing that we want to keep for our kids.”He further emphasized that taking that initial step transforms how we experience public life:“Just by taking the first step, your anxiety kind of flows away from you, and then you feel a little bit more empowered. And what happens there is you find community.”By lowering the barrier to entry, Paul shows us that protecting democratic institutions doesn't require complex strategies—it begins when ordinary citizens choose simple, constructive engagement over quiet paralysis.tl;dr:Paul Katz introduced Commit Together to guide citizens from political anxiety into direct civic engagement.The nonpartisan Commit Together initiative connects voters with organizations matching their personal value systems.Paul shared how pop culture and artist advocacy amplify vital social impact and civil rights initiatives.Paul defined his superpower as acting as a bridge between frontline changemakers and wide audiences.Today's episode highlighted how local community engagement and simple actions help protect democratic participation.How to Develop Bridge As a SuperpowerPaul's superpower is acting as a bridge between frontline changemakers and the broader public. As Paul explained, “what I am good at, I guess, is reflecting those who really do the work... My superpower is the bridge between the people on the ground who aren't thinking about how to do marketing or to get people to act... I bring their stories and I tell their narratives and I help them go to a much wider audience who then support them.”To demonstrate how he uses his superpower as a bridge, Paul described an initiative aimed at increasing voter participation among the Black faith-based community in Georgia. Rather than relying solely on high-profile figures like Kerry Washington and Common, Paul bridged directly into local communities across 105 counties. By connecting with trusted local leaders—such as local barbers and ministers—he enabled communities to mobilize internally. This grassroots bridge successfully mobilized thousands of individuals to participate in the democratic process who otherwise might not have voted.Actionable Tips for Developing the Superpower:Practice vote tripling during elections by directly contacting two friends and inviting them to vote with you.Share compelling, purposeful stories with neighbors and colleagues to foster local connection.Engage in direct, open conversations with members of your immediate community to build trust.Take one concrete step at a time to connect ordinary people to meaningful causes.By following Paul's example and advice, you can make bridge a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

    Can one small act of kindness really change a life or even the world? In this episode of Daily Influence, Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Kevin Smith, founder and Chief Kindness Chaser of Kindness Worldwide, to explore how one stranger's decision to return his lost wallet sparked a global mission to create a culture of kindness. What began as Kevin's desire to recognize one person for doing the right thing evolved into a movement focused on helping people see the good, be the good, and recognize the influence they have every day. Kevin shares why kindness is a strength, not a weakness, and explains the difference between genuine kindness and simply being nice or avoiding conflict. He also introduces the eight characteristics of kindness (gratitude, patience, forgiveness, empathy and compassion, respect, joy, generosity, and service) and discusses how individuals and leaders can intentionally put them into practice. The conversation also explores how leaders can build a genuine culture of kindness in the workplace, why Kevin believes organizations should think about ROK Return on Kindness alongside Random Opportunities for Kindness, and how helping employees feel seen, valued, and understood can strengthen both people and organizations. Kevin leaves listeners with a simple challenge: ask yourself each day, “What can I do today to make a difference in someone else's world?” From a smile or thank-you note to an unexpected act of generosity, small actions can create ripples far beyond what we may ever see. In this episode, you'll learn: • How one act of kindness inspired the creation of Kindness Worldwide • Why kindness should be viewed as a strength and intentional leadership practice • The eight characteristics that form Kevin's framework for kindness • How leaders can create cultures where people feel seen and valued • Why “Return on Kindness” can have meaningful organizational impact • How daily acts of kindness can create lasting ripple effects • Why every individual has the power to positively influence the world around them Kevin's message is straightforward: no act of kindness is too small to make a difference and meaningful change begins with the choices each of us makes every day. https://www.kindnessworldwide.org/ ksmith@kindnessworldwide.org https://www.rokindness.org/ Subscribe to the S.M.A.R.T.

    Send us Fan Mail What if the colleague you've been describing as "quirky" is the most underused talent in your building? In this episode of Coaching the Whole Educator, Becca Silver sits down with Justin Permenter of NDI Institute to talk about building workplaces where neurodivergent educators, coaches, and leaders can perform, contribute, and lead without lowering expectations. Roughly one in five people is neurodivergent, including people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. Yet most schools and organizations are built for neurotypical ways of working by default. Students get IEPs and 504 plans. Adults get a workplace that expects everyone to sit at the same table, the same way, on the same timeline. Justin shares his journey from the classroom in Kansas City to international education in Qatar and his work with Franklin Covey's Leader in Me, plus the story of Omar, a 16-year-old autistic intern who outperformed full-time staff at the Waldorf Astoria within three weeks. Becca opens up about her own ADHD diagnosis and the moment she started seeing it as a strength instead of a deficit. You'll learn: Why accommodation and compliance checklists aren't the same as strengths activationHow curiosity (the C in NDI's CLEAR framework) replaces judgment when a colleague works differentlyWhat "results alignment" means: keeping outcomes high while allowing multiple pathways to get thereOne thing school leaders and instructional coaches can do tomorrow to lead more neuroinclusivelyPerfect for instructional coaches, principals, district leaders, and anyone who leads adults in schools. Resources mentioned:Website: www.ndiinstitute.comWebinar on October 6th: https://www.ndiinstitute.com/webinarFree C.L.E.A.R.

    Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to retired neonatologist Susan Landers, MD, for joining me on Episode #173 of “The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner.” I first spoke to Susan on July 9, 2023, on Episode #89 about her book “So Many Babies.” In her first book she reflected on her career, particularly the daily challenge of work/life balance.Today, we discussed her new book, “Good Enough is Your Superpower: Overcoming Perfectionism for Women by Silencing Your Inner Critic and Setting Boundaries.”Dr. Landers confessed that for the first 15 years of her career, she suffered as a perfectionist. She was unable to silence her “inner critic” that insisted she was not “good enough.” Rather than take pride in a long and productive day at work, she felt she was shortchanging her children or husband. If she spent more time with her family, she felt dissatisfied with herself at work. For a perfectionist, a seemingly simple task such as arranging a child's birthday party required addressing so many details that it devolved into an exhausting chore. Dr. Landers concluded that the price of perfectionism is loss of rest and recovery.Dr. Landers eventually discovered effective strategies to silence her inner critic and take pleasure in being “good enough” as a wife, mother, and full-time physician. She provides sage advice to young women to combat perfectionism when facing the dual challenges of a career and family.We also discussed the concepts of “invisible labor” and “emotional load.” According to Dr. Landers, women tend to do more invisible labor and emotional load than men, which increases their overall workload and stress.Dr. Landers is planning a book on preventing osteoporosis. Inspired by her mother's diagnosis and her own, she has thoroughly researched the topic and wants to share her findings with other women.You can find “Good Enough is Your Superpower” on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/45GTmWyYou can also read Dr. Landers weekly newsletter “MomsMatter” on Substack: https://substack.com/@landersmomsmatter?utm_source=global-search #motherhood, #worklifebalance, #physicans, #dualcareer, #osteoporosis. #perfectionist #perfectionismPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Barron: One of the superpowers I believe I hold is turning a vision into execution.The fight against global hunger remains one of humanity's most urgent challenges. As I discussed with Barron Segar, President and CEO of World Food Program USA, in today's episode, the dynamics have shifted over the last decade. Despite declining government funding and rising costs, Barron remains hopeful—and solutions-driven.“When I started ten years ago, hunger was on the decline,” Barron told me. “Today, we're battling wars, extreme weather events, rising costs, and decreased funding. Yet, we're proud that the U.S. remains a significant contributor while the private sector has stepped up to fill some gaps.”As the representative of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning World Food Program, Barron highlighted how the organization is navigating these changing dynamics. One of its key innovations, he noted, is leveraging partnerships and pre-positioning supplies to respond to emergencies quickly, such as recent events in Nepal and Venezuela. Still, he emphasized, war stands as the leading cause of hunger today, making humanitarian access and supply delivery increasingly difficult.Barron shared an eye-opening statistic: “Over 262 million people today are suffering acute hunger.” This growing crisis, he explained, requires extraordinary efforts and resources to reach those most in need. In war zones like Gaza, the World Food Program is averting famine and feeding hundreds of thousands daily, yet the need remains massive.While discussing hotspots like Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti, and Honduras, Barron painted a vivid picture of the struggles faced by refugees and vulnerable communities forced to flee their homes. Reflecting on his visit to the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after the conflict began, he recalled meeting displaced women, children, and even elderly individuals carrying nothing but their few belongings—and their hope.Barron's optimism remains grounded in action. He credits both resilient frontline workers and scalable, innovative solutions, including cash-based transfers to sustain functioning marketplaces. Moreover, he directed listeners to “JustServe,” a platform helping volunteers address local needs domestically, while encouraging global responsibility.This episode underscored the dire need for collaboration and creative problem-solving to combat hunger and build long-term resilience. Barron's leadership highlights how strategic partnerships and unwavering dedication can drive impactful results—even in the face of unprecedented challenges.tl;dr:Barron Segar highlighted how wars, climate events, and underfunding exacerbate global hunger challenges.Innovations like cash-based transfers and strategic pre-positioning strengthen emergency food delivery.The World Food Program USA engages both governments and private sectors to address funding gaps.Barron emphasized creating a collaborative culture while setting measurable growth goals for leadership success.Hunger relief efforts showcase the need for global and local teamwork to build long-term resilience.How to Develop Vision into Action As a SuperpowerBarron's superpower is his ability to turn vision into action. As he explained in today's episode, “One of the superpowers I believe I hold is turning a vision into execution.” He shared how his role as President and CEO of World Food Program USA requires him to not only articulate ambitious goals but also lead his team toward achieving them. Barron pointed to collaboration, measurable results, and difficult but mission-centered decisions as integral to his execution-focused leadership.One example of this superpower is Barron's plan to dramatically grow private sector funding for the organization. When he started in 2020, the World Food Program USA raised $19 million annually. This year, it will surpass $130 million, with a goal of reaching $250 million annually in the next five years. Barron emphasized measurable outcomes and strategic investments, supported by pro bono insights from the Boston Consulting Group, to drive results.Tips for Developing Vision into Action as a Superpower:Focus on creating a high-performance, collaborative culture of respect, optimism, and accountability.Set ambitious but achievable goals that push you and your team beyond your comfort zone.Communicate strategy clearly and align your resources to maximize impact.Establish measurable key performance indicators to track progress and stay focused.Be prepared to make tough decisions and accept that not everyone will always agree with you.By following Barron's example and advice, you can make vision into action a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileBarron Segar (he/him):President & CEO, World Food Program USAAbout World Food Program USA: The World Food Programme is the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and the world's leading humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate extremes.

In their conversation, they explore how simple, consistent practices can bring the benefits of a calm nervous system into everyday life. They discuss why effort and consistency matter when building a sustainable wellness practice, how small choices can create more space for stillness, and how recognizing what adds or releases tension can support a more intentional way of living. Carlos also shares the deeply personal turning point that led him to self-love and meditation, clears up a common misconception about quieting the mind, and guides listeners through an accessible meditation practice.

    Most clinic owners say they want employees who take initiative, solve problems, and bring new ideas to the business. But if every mistake gets punished, your team quickly learns that the safest option is to stop trying. In this episode, Danny continues his business culture case study series with the story of Sara Blakely and Spanx. He breaks down how a willingness to experiment, learn from failure, and give talented people room to think helped shape Spanx's culture, and what cash-based physical therapy clinic owners can take from it when building their own teams. In This Episode, You'll Learn How Sara Blakely grew Spanx from $5,000 in personal savings into a company valued at $1.2 billion Why Blakely's father regularly asked what she had failed at that week How fear of failure can prevent employees from taking initiative Why thoughtful failure and carelessness should be treated differently How owners can accidentally train employees to stop bringing them ideas Why micromanagement eventually makes the owner the bottleneck How giving smart team members room to experiment can create better problem solvers Why asking "What did we learn?" can change the way your team responds to mistakes How a culture of experimentation can support innovation and growth Why your clinic culture should reflect the type of company you actually want to build Key Takeaway If you want employees who take ownership, solve problems, and bring new ideas to your clinic, they need enough room to try things without being afraid that every unsuccessful attempt will be punished. Set clear standards and guardrails, then use thoughtful failures as opportunities to learn and improve.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Jessica: I think just not being afraid to try something.Healthcare frequently operates in crisis mode. Jessica Queen, Founder and CEO of Triage360, sees chaos as an opportunity to transform patient care. During this episode, Jessica shared how her invention provides a much-needed fix for an overwhelmed system.Triage360 is an autonomous triage system designed to monitor vital signs, prioritize critical patients, and simplify decision-making under pressure. “The faster we get care, the more lives we save,” Jessica explained. The device, sleek and adhesive, affixes to a patient's chest, instantly measures key vitals, and assigns triage priorities. Real-time data allows a central base station to rank and rerank patients continuously, ensuring the sickest are treated first.The goal isn't to replace providers but to give them the tools to manage overflow effectively. “In the middle of chaos, we can have super cognitive overload,” Jessica said. “This is just there to help.”The inspiration for Triage360 came from Jessica's personal experiences as an ER nurse navigating tragic moments born from what she called “failure to rescue.” It wasn't always a lack of skill or effort—often, it was limited information or inadequate resources leading to devastating outcomes. “I've walked in and found patients who didn't make it, simply because we didn't know they were going downhill,” she said.Jessica's journey from nurse to tech entrepreneur exemplifies grit and vision. After losing colleagues to the moral injury of preventable tragedies, she said, “I refused to let this be the status quo.” She built her company step by step, leveraging community support, securing grants, and assembling a team to bring Triage360 to life.With growing interest from industries beyond hospitals, including the military and disaster response organizations, Triage360 promises to improve outcomes on battlefields, in disaster zones, and potentially even in space.Triage360 highlights how innovation, rooted in compassion, can drive meaningful change. Jessica exemplifies what it means to dream big—and execute boldly.tl;dr:Jessica Queen introduced Triage360, a device that prioritizes patients during emergencies to save more lives.The system autonomously monitors vitals, ranks patients, and supports overwhelmed healthcare providers in decision-making.Jessica's drive stemmed from personal experiences as an ER nurse witnessing preventable tragedies.Triage360 has drawn global attention, from disaster response organizations to battlefield applications in Ukraine.Perseverance, fearlessness, and bold outreach have propelled Jessica into solving big problems with innovative solutions.How to Develop Fearless Action As a SuperpowerJessica's superpower is fearlessly taking action. As she explained during this episode, “I think just not being afraid to try something” is her defining strength. She lives by Eleanor Roosevelt's advice to “do something every day that scares you.” Whether reaching out to global leaders or presenting to high-stakes audiences, Jessica's ability to move past fear allows her to build bold solutions that save lives.Jessica's willingness to act reached global proportions when she messaged Roman Kuzov, medical commander of Ukraine's Donbas region, on LinkedIn. Despite the urgent challenges he faced, Roman responded immediately, recognizing the life-saving potential of Triage360. Their subsequent conversations—and eventual in-person meetings—have positioned Jessica's technology to make an impact in one of the world's most chaotic environments.Tips for Developing Fearless Action as a Superpower:Take one small step daily that pushes you out of your comfort zone.Remember that the people you admire are human too; treat them as approachable.Don't fear rejection; take no as redirection, not defeat.Surround yourself with a supportive team to help you persevere through setbacks.Believe that your efforts can change lives, motivating you to keep moving forward.By following Jessica's example and advice, you can make fearless action a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJessica Queen (she/her):Founder, Triage360Website: triage360.comX/Twitter Handle: @triage_360Company Facebook Page: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584567013037Instagram Handle: @triage360Other URL: aequitasinvest.comAbout Triage360: Omedus is the creator of the Triage360 system, the world's first autonomous triage system built for chaos. From ER to in the field, to a busy post-operative floor, Triage360 looks at all patients in the area and reports who is the most critical with real time updates. Triage360 allows responders to be everywhere at once, ensuring the most critical patients come first. Biographical Information: Jessica Queen is nurse practitioner who has spent 20 years at bedside managing chaos from the med surg units to cardiology to ER. Her time at bedside revealed the real issue with caring for patients always came down to too many of them and not enough providers to be everywhere at once. Refusing to accept this as the way it is, Jessica set out to create a system that allows her and other providers to always see all the patients at the same time and know every change as its happening in real time so no patients are lost to failure to rescue. She is a fierce patient advocate and enjoys the challenge of bring bedside knowledge into real products to change how healthcare works.Personal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/jessica.queen.362060LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jessqueenSuperCrowd Career Path Job PostingsSustainable Investing Co-op — Wellington Management · Greater Boston · Remote OK · 19.00–35.00/hrHousing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge - Program Manager, National Programs — Enterprise Community Partners · Portland, OR · 83,000–95,000/yrHead of Impact, Americas — Intrepid Travel · Golden, CO · Remote OK · 80,000–90,000/yrManager, Project on Impact Investing — Harvard Business School · Boston, MA · Remote OK · 69,500–113,700/yrSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

    BONUS How Scrum Masters Can Use AI Without Losing the Human in the Loop With Mike Lyons and Greg Pfister

    BONUS: How Scrum Masters Can Use AI Without Losing the Human in the Loop AI makes it easier than ever to build software, prototypes, courses, and coaching tools. In this BONUS episode, Mike Lyons and Greg Pfister share what that speed changes for Scrum Masters, why product judgment becomes more important, and how coaches can start using AI without outsourcing the conversations their teams still need. When AI Stops Being a Curiosity and Starts Saving Real Time "It's not that the work is wrong or not needed, it is needed. That's an important step. Retrospectives are critical."   Greg's first practical AI moment came while trying to build an "Ask Mike" capability for self-paced courses. After a frustrating outsourcing attempt, he started using ChatGPT to help him rebuild the tool himself, eventually moving into Cursor, Claude Code, and the Superpowers plugin for Claude Code. Mike's moment was less technical: using AI inside Mural to affinity-map retrospective notes. The lesson for Scrum Masters is not that AI removes the work, but that it can remove enough friction to let facilitators spend more time on judgment, listening, and follow-through. The Bottleneck Moves From Building Fast to Building the Right Thing "The cost to produce prototypes for software engineering is approaching zero."   Mike and Greg argue that AI does not create the "wrong feature" problem, but it makes the problem much easier to multiply. If a prototype can appear before lunch, the old excuses disappear. Teams still need to ask whether the customer problem is real, whether the payoff matters, whether there is proof from users or data, and whether this work deserves priority now. For Scrum Masters and Agile coaches, this is a clear invitation to help Product Owners slow down the decision before accelerating the delivery. Building AskMe With AI as the Engineering Partner "I'm really playing product manager. That's really what I'm doing."   Greg describes AskMe as an AI-enabled coaching tool embedded into training courses. Instead of asking learners to pass obvious multiple-choice quizzes, AskMe asks them to apply what they learned to their own context, then reflects back practical coaching based on the course material, instructor context, and learner profile. In their own product development, Greg uses AI as an engineering partner while Mike keeps asking the product question: should we build it? Their 4P lens is simple: problem, payoff, proof, and priority. The Scrum Master Role Becomes More Important, Not Less "Don't just outsource your brain, your decision making power."   When leaders push teams to "adopt AI," Mike warns Scrum Masters not to let the tool become the decision maker. AI can cluster retrospective notes, summarize long threads, propose learning plans, or help prepare for a hard conversation, but the human still needs to inspect the output and understand the consequences. Greg adds the practical security angle: teams must be careful about what they paste into AI systems, especially personal, customer, or sensitive company information. Start Small: Context, Role Play, and Shared Learning "Context is king when you're talking with your AI."   Greg suggests starting with basic AI training, then practicing with small workflow improvements: prioritizing work, summarizing material, or drafting communication that the Scrum Master then edits. Mike's practical starter experiment is role play: describe a difficult team situation without names, ask the AI to act as the other person, and practice the one-on-one conversation. Vasco adds a simple working habit: keep a running context file with meeting notes, team insights, worries, decisions, and open questions, then use that context when asking AI for help. Resources for Scrum Masters Learning AI "Let AI help you get smart about AI."   Mike recommends the PMI AI in Project Management learning resources and the 37signals Rework podcast for pragmatic thinking about how AI fits into work. Greg recommends learning directly from the AI tool providers, exploring how to configure projects and context, and reading Marty Cagan's Inspired to strengthen the product judgment that becomes more important when teams can build faster. About Mike Lyons and Greg Pfister Mike Lyons and Greg Pfister are the team behind KaiRise, where they've used AI to build new products, including AskMe, an AI coaching tool, and to create their most recent certified Product Management training course end-to-end.   Greg Pfister works with Mike at KaiRise on AI-enabled learning products, including AskMe and their certified Product Management training course.   You can link with Mike Lyons and Greg Pfister on LinkedIn.
