Our 55th episode of QuidelOrtho Science Bytes features Michelle Mullens, Global Portfolio Marketing Manager for Transfusion Medicine, diving into the evolving realities of today's blood supply, and why steady, year‑round donation is critical to modern healthcare. From the constant demand driven by everyday trauma to climate‑related disruptions that strain regional inventories, shifting prehospital practices that rely heavily on universal blood types and the growing role of automation in stabilizing testing workflows, this episode explores the interconnected systems that keep patients safe. Mullens shares how donor habits, resilient infrastructure and smarter immunohematology platforms help ensure blood is available when and where it's needed most. Sustaining the blood supply isn't just about meeting demand, it's about building a resilient, connected system where donors, diagnostics and clinical care work together to protect patients every day.   About Our Speaker:  Michelle Mullens Global Portfolio Marketing Manager for Transfusion Medicine, QuidelOrtho Michelle brings invaluable insight to both the science and human impact of blood donation.  Before starting her career on the corporate side, Michelle was a Senior Medical Technologist at Baptist Health, serving in leadership roles for transfusion medicine and immunohematology. Prior to taking on her current role in the global business unit at QuidelOrtho, Michelle served as a technical specialist, business development consultant and clinical science liaison. With significant experience in the blood bank and as a trusted provider to the profession, Michelle brings a unique perspective to the conversation today.   

This week, Travis sits down with Lorraine Marchand, acclaimed consultant, author, educator, and innovation leader. Lorraine has spent her career shaping how organizations—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—approach problem solving and sustained growth. She's co-author of No Fear, No Failure: Five Principles for Sustaining Growth Through Innovation and brings decades of experience from roles at Bristol Myers Squibb, IBM, and on advisory boards for Johnson & Johnson and Hewlett Packard. On this episode we talk about: How Lorraine's father sparked her curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit at age 12 The invention of the “Sugar Cube” and her first lesson in innovation and royalties The difference between convergent and divergent problem solving Why fear of failure cripples innovation—and how to overcome it How Lorraine's new book helps leaders build a culture that encourages experimentation Top 3 Takeaways Curiosity and problem solving can be taught early—and they're the foundation of building wealth and innovation. The biggest barrier to innovation isn't lack of ideas; it's fear of failure and organizational rigidity. Success comes from reframing failure as learning, taking consistent risks, and staying commercially focused on solving real customer problems. Notable Quotes “Parents have a powerful role in cultivating curiosity and developing future innovators—don't take it lightly.” “The only problems worth solving are the ones customers will pay you to fix.” “Fear of failure stops innovation before it starts. Reframe it as learning, and you'll open up entirely new possibilities.” Connect with Lorraine Marchand: LinkedIn: Lorraine Marchand on LinkedIn Website: lorrainemarchand.com Book: No Fear, No Failure – available for preorder on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the all-in-one sales & marketing platform built for agencies, by an agency. Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge a belief most people never question until it starts costing them results. This conversation explores why achieving a goal is often celebrated, but sustaining it quietly breaks discipline, focus, and standards over time. Rather than chasing motivation or surface-level habits, this episode examines the deeper tension between ambition, capacity, and long-term performance. It confronts why success creates pressure instead of relief, why balance becomes harder as life expands, and why many people feel overwhelmed after they “win.”This is a grounded, direct discussion for anyone serious about growth beyond the milestone. Press play, listen carefully, and decide whether you are building for the moment or the decade ahead._______________________Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

Liz shares her unlikely path from growing up in a third-generation construction family to running a craft brewery that taught her the hard lesson of being trapped in a business. That experience led her to build a framework that helps owners create businesses that run with strong teams, clear accountability, and habits that actually stick.You will hear Liz's “business is like a house” model, built on a strong foundation and four pillars, along with her Five S framework: Simplify, Strategize, Systems, Sustaining, and Scaling. The conversation dives into why SOPs so often fail, how leadership makes them work, and why every SOP should tie to a measurable outcome so it stays alive instead of collecting dust.If you want to stop owning a job and start building a self-sustaining business, this episode delivers practical insight you can apply immediately.Learn more about Liz Chism at lizchism.comConnect with her on Instagram or Facebook via DMs

In Airey Bros Radio Ep. 426, we go live with the architect behind the Lakers' rise: Coach Steve Delgado (SWOCC).

We also dive into the legend and lore of Coos Bay, Oregon — home of Steve Prefontaine — plus the behind-the-scenes coaching habits that actually build alignment: recruiting truth, standards, team connection, and Coach Delgado's best advice of the night: “Lean into conflict.” (Culture doesn't happen by accident.) ✅ Topics Covered:SWOCC's jump from last place energy to NWAC ChampionsWhat a true “champion experience” means at the JUCO levelTaylor Dickey & Lydia Montes De Oca going 1–2 and gapping the fieldMen's program podium finish — best since 1970Recruiting, affordability, housing, and why the JUCO path is boomingTraining philosophy, thresholds, and building the “better humans” mentality☕ Fueled by Black Sheep Endurance Coaching blacksheependurance.com/

Today we speak with Rachel Kuo about her book, Movement Media: In Pursuit of Solidarity, recently published by Oxford University Press. This fascinating study understands political activism through a unique perspective, asking the question, how do the choices activists make about how to present their movements to the public indicate key strategic, tactical, and political decisions?  Kuo shows that as they seek to persuade others to join their causes, activists work out their own questions, values, and commitments. Ranging from ‘zines, newsletters, posters, social media and more, Rachel talks about successes, defeats, and moments of burn-out and regrouping. From “BlackLivesMatter” to “#StopAsianHate” we see both moments of exhilaration, and painful self-reflection as movements take shape, change vectors, and imaging.A teaching and discussion guide for the book is here: https://www.rachelkuo.com/movement-media-bookRachel Kuo writes, teaches, and researches on race, social movements, and digital technology. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Gender and Women's Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

“Sustaining Love in the Struggle” Sunday, January 4, 2026 “Resistance is a long, thin, soft noodle covered in pink sauce.”  At least, according to a two-year-old, it is.  Come explore the nourishing possibilities of resistance with Rev.

Elliot Holland joins us to explore the realities of building and sustaining a high-quality, trust-driven professional business in an era dominated by AI hype, declining marketing efficiency, and algorithmic noise. We discuss skepticism around AI's real-world impact especially in high-stakes financial decisions. We also talk marketing and content strategy, why sensationalism and clickbait may win algorithms but will always repel discerning clients. We also unpack our frustrations with modern marketing platforms like Google, Facebook, and HubSpot as they grow increasingly expensive and benefit from opacity while delivering lower-quality data. The most important thing is authentic conversations, patience, and thoughtful content aimed at a small, qualified audience that can outperform viral reach.  We discuss...  Sustaining a professional services business increasingly depends on trust, judgment, and human relationships rather than scale, speed, or technological hype. There's septicism that AI will meaningfully disrupt high-stakes, people-to-people work, arguing it is largely rebranded machine learning with limited real-world adoption so far. Discerning clients value nuance, experience, and improvisational thinking that cannot be captured in static data sets or automated workflows. AI is a productivity aid for summaries and surface-level tasks, but not a substitute for deep expertise, critical thinking, or accountability. YouTube and podcasts are trust-building tools rather than growth hacks, with success measured by client conversion quality instead of view counts. Algorithms reward "nonsense about nonsense," making platforms misaligned with professionals selling high-trust, high-ticket services. Marketing metrics such as views, impressions, and engagement were described as misleading compared to tracking clicks, conversations, and actual revenue outcomes. Google, Facebook, and HubSpot are operating as "confuse-opolies," benefiting from complexity, opacity, and user lock-in rather than clear results. The rising difficulty of marketing has forced business owners to either deeply understand marketing themselves or risk wasting capital on underqualified vendors. Elliott explained restructuring his marketing around specialized vendors, strict performance accountability, and personal ownership of customer persona definition. Long-form, unscripted conversations often deliver more value than polished, optimized content designed for algorithms. Future marketing success will favor authenticity, clarity, and long-term relationship-building over funnels, gimmicks, and viral reach.   Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/ai-hype-and-clickbait-are-failing-elliott-holland

Isaiah 50:4-11

From Florida to a Michigan prison: the hardships of maintaining a relationship with someone in prison. Due to physical separation, high costs, limited emotional intimacy, logistical barriers, societal stigma, and stress, maintaining prison relationships are always challenging. Bobby shares the importance of having a strong relationship beyond prison walls. Relationships with strong ties reduce recidivism, aid rehabilitation, provide crucial support, and promote successful reintegration for the incarcerated person. It's why Bobby and Ray share their story, provide insight on how their relationship started, and some of the obstacles they've had to overcome in order to maintain their relationship during Bobby's incarceration. You can read more about Bobby and prison reform on our website:   notesfromthepen.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notesfromthepen9604Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYuOh4pKxa/?igshid=y8lo9kbdifvq   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bobbyb.l.a.c.k1X: https://twitter.com/NotesFromThePenBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/notesfromthepen.bsky.socialShout-out to JD and Ashely Bell for all their behind the scenes support.Intro and Outro music created just for Notes From The Pen by PJ Trofibio and Jeff Quintero and used with permission.

What sort of work do the Scriptures forbid on the Sabbath? What sort of work is allowed? Attention to the Hebrew words used in connection with the Sabbath and in other contexts sheds some light on these questions. Dr. Baruch Kvasnika is President of Jerusalem Seminary, which equips believers to understand their faith in and through the land of the Bible. His dissertation at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem was, "The Language of Practice: Hebraic Walking and Way Metaphors in First Century Greek Related to Conduct." 

Recruiting great marketers is tough work. Sustaining performance, growth, and energy over time demands deliberate choices. Those choices shape the culture, the pace, and the results your team can sustain through whatever comes next. To see how this plays out across very different orgs, Drew talks with Dan Lowden (Blackbird.AI), Marni Puente (SAIC), and Amy King (Relias) about the teams they've built and the systems that keep them performing. They break down who they hire first, how they set structure and expectations, and how coaching, intelligent failure, and AI-supported workflows help people grow and stay motivated. In this episode:  Dan builds a lean, senior, hands-on startup team and fosters a test-and-learn culture where people move fast, try new things, and learn together.  Marni reshapes a communications-heavy function into a modern marketing org, adding commercial and demand capabilities and aligning work to OKRs and transparent dashboards.  Amy leads a marketing reset at Relias, rebuilding leadership and structure, positioning marketing with sales and client care, and modeling vulnerability and continuous learning through change. Plus:  Why AI committees, battle buddies, and shared learning loops turn hesitation into confident adoption  How OKRs, scorecards, and focused dashboards clarify priorities and tie marketing to revenue outcomes  Where intelligent failure helps teams stop low-value work, share lessons, and build trust  How competency assessments, surveys, and development plans nurture top performers and future leaders If you're building, inheriting, or leveling up a marketing team, this episode gives you a ton of moves to help it perform, grow, and stay together.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

Dr. Carlos Eire on October 30, 2025 at Saint Ignatius College Prep. Two of the most significant features of Catholic Christianity are its focus on holy men and women and the miracles ascribed to them. What is it that makes saints and miracles so significant? What difference does this characteristic of Catholicism make, not just for its history, but for us, here and now? Asking such questions is absolutely necessary for Catholics, and in this talk we explore why this is so. --- This project was made possible through the support of In Lumine Tuo: Expanding and Sustaining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Nationwide (grant #63614) from the John Templeton Foundation and the generous support of the Bollandist Society and St. Ignatius College Preparatory School.

Dr. Carlos Eire and Dr. Kirsten Macfarlane on October 29, 2025 at the University of Chicago's Swift Hall. Levitation. Bilocation. Witchcraft. Demonic Possession. Europe in the early modern era was simultaneously the site of Kepler, Newton, Copernicus–and of eyewitness accounts of levitating saints and nocturnal witches' sabbats. In his history of the impossible, award-winning historian Carlos Eire mines the firsthand accounts and archival evidence of the miraculous and demonic. How did an increasingly skeptical and scientific culture account for events deemed impossible by its leading intellectuals? What does this say about the supposed boundaries between the natural and supernatural that marked the transition to modernity? In this lecture, Carlos Eire explores the major themes of "They Flew" and asks: what makes something impossible? And is there more to reality than meets the eye? University of Chicago Divinity School professor Kirsten Macfarlane offers a response and engages Eire in a conversation. --- This project was made possible through the support of In Lumine Tuo: Expanding and Sustaining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Nationwide (grant #63614) from the John Templeton Foundation and the generous support of the University of Chicago Divinity School and the Workshop on the Early Modern World.

PREVIEW — Bruce Bechtol — China's Role in Supplying Dual-Use Technology to North Korea and the Axis. Bechtolexamines China's critical role in sustaining North Korea's military-industrial complex, particularly since 2019 when international sanctions enforcement effectively ceased. China supplies dual-use technologies and component parts, frequently procured through illicit channels, directly to North Korea, thereby reinforcing the axis of revisionist states comprising Iran, North Korea, and Russia. Chinese companies involved in these transfers maintain direct linkages to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), operating as instruments of state policy. 1951

Looking back at the Seahawks prime-time victory over the Washington Commanders, was there anything that could have made it better? During the game, Greg Olsen had some intriguing praise (or criticism) about the Seahawks offense. Was it a backhanded compliment or simply an analysis of how defenses are stacking the box based on our offensive personnel. Are the Seahawks rushing woes a result of effective defensive strategies, and could the addition of Rashid Shaheed actually open up the run game? Looking ahead to the game against the Arizona Cardinals, Kyler was benched and then put on injured reserve. Seattle was able to get after the mobile quarterback earlier in the season, so can it actually benefit the Cardinals to have someone more stationary taking over for Murray? Plus, we take some live questions and comments from those who joined us live on Youtube Wednesday evening. Join our Sea Hawkers Podcast Pickem League - free prizes for weekly winners.
