Day 4: Engage StakeholdersSuccessful project leadership depends on more than creating plans and tracking progress. Project managers must actively identify the people and groups who can influence the project, understand their interests, and build productive relationships throughout the project lifecycle.In this session, we examine how to identify and analyze stakeholders, assess their level of influence, interest, expectations, and potential impact, and tailor communication to meet their specific needs. We also explore how to execute the stakeholder engagement plan, address competing priorities, and maintain alignment between stakeholder expectations and project objectives.You will learn how to build trust, strengthen relationships, manage resistance, and influence stakeholders without relying solely on formal authority. The goal is to create meaningful engagement that supports collaboration, improves decision-making, reduces misunderstandings, and helps the project achieve its intended outcomes.Key areas covered:• Identify stakeholders• Analyze stakeholder influence, interests, and expectations• Tailor communication to stakeholder needs• Execute the stakeholder engagement plan• Align stakeholder needs, expectations, and project objectives• Build trust and influence stakeholders• Address resistance and competing priorities• Maintain stakeholder support throughout the projectJoin us for Day 4 of 40 Days to PMP Exam Success 2026 as we connect stakeholder engagement concepts to realistic PMP exam scenarios and practical project leadership.Want to create live streams like this?

Philippa opens with an update on the Great Book Parcel Saga — a box of holiday reading, a Greek customs office, a handwritten letter explaining why a normal person would post books to themselves, and the very real possibility of being detained at passport control. Then it's three book reviews and a long-overdue conversation with Tim Sullivan, creator of the beloved DS George Cross series, about his eighth book The Tailor.

On this episode, Mortified begins a new unit on spy media with the classic 1974 novel (and it's 2011 adaptation), Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy! We discuss the difficulty of grappling with dense texts, the limitations of the podcast as critical media project, and approve of the book's handling of messy bisexuals.    Links: A Bounty of Books Summary Smiley Recounts his Meeting with Karla Studio Ghibli: Architecture in Animation --- Our theme song is "Obsolete" by Keshco, from the album "Filmmaker's Reference Kit Volume 2."

What happens to elite sports analytics, player development, and leadership when the data-driven games of the NBA and NCAA are purposed for human relationship building?  In this episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I sit down with Queens University of Charlotte Assistant Men's Basketball Coach and Game Plan Strategy Coordinator, Amit Tailor. As a prominent South Asian coach pioneering the integration of data analytics, video film, and AI workflows in hoops, Amit has spent years developing world-class talent at every level, including milestone coaching stints with the Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets, USA Basketball, and Clemson University.  Amit opens up on high-stakes scouting, detailing how modern tools use AI to manage recruitment pipelines and why his guiding operational principle is "if everything is important, then nothing is important".  Representing a new wave of Indian Americans in professional sports, Amit challenges traditional cultural archetypes within the South Asian diaspora and outlines a powerful blueprint for true resilience, sports leadership, and South Asian representation.Amit shares insights on:• The Schemes vs. People Paradigm: Why elite coaches compete with basketball schemes but ultimately win games with authentic human connections.  • The Data & Video Marriage: How pairing performance metrics with positive visual reinforcement accelerates split-second adjustments behind the bench.  • Overcoming 17 Rejections:  Why long-term perseverance and optimism are vital• The South Asian Sports Box: Why families need to unlearn strict career boxes tied to traditional earning potential and empower their kids to dream bigger.  •  Be Seen, Not Heard: Crucial professional positioning advice received from Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coach Mark Daigneault while working under legend Billy Donovan.  Whether you're a coach seeking to optimize your team's tactical strategy, a professional navigating a highly competitive industry, or someone looking for the mental armor to overcome career rejections, Amit's sports career journey is key listening.If you enjoyed this deep dive, please hit that subscribe button, leave a comment, and share this video with someone looking to scale their own vision!--------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction & The Data-Driven Game01:35 Welcoming Queens University Coach Amit Tailor02:57 Game Planning the Unexpected Blowouts of New Parenting04:04 The Culture Shift: Tech, Data, and AI in Relationship Building06:36 Translating Game Plans & Identifying Player Superpowers08:58 Real-Time Video Analysis & Giving Feedback Behind the Bench12:29 What Casual Basketball Fans Miss: Spacing & Floor Balance15:24 Sponsor Break - Travelopod, Lotus Lane Coffee, Timberdog16:54 Leading India Rising: Managing Egos, Drama, and Adversity19:03 Core Philosophy: If Everything Is Important, Nothing Is Important21:16 Modern Athlete Reinforcement: Positive Clips vs. 1988 Michael Jordan23:50 Overcoming Stereotypes & Navigating 17 Job Rejections25:28 Unboxing Diaspora Families: Earning Potential vs. Dreaming Bigger31:46 Quick Hitters: Chicago Bulls Heyday, MJ, and Coaching Idols34:12 Final Advice for Future Coaches: Opportunity Is Not a Lengthy Visitor-------------------------#AmitTailor #BasketballAnalytics #CoachingStrategy #BrownBallers #NCAABasketball #TrustMeIKnowWhatImDoingShoutouts:

Ever worked on a project that felt like a complete disaster... only for leadership to call it a huge success? In Part 2 of our Mr. Beast series, Kim and Kate dig into the reported chaos behind Beast Games—from weather disasters and safety concerns to unhappy contestants, lawsuits, and production challenges. But here's the twist: despite all the problems, does the sponsor spin it as a win? If they did - would they be 'right?' This episode explores project sponsors, stakeholder management, risk management, and one uncomfortable truth many project managers eventually learn: success is often defined by the people funding the project—not the people doing the work. Kim and Kate unpack what happens when ambitious goals collide with reality, why sponsors often see projects differently than project managers, and why writing your own project post-mortem may be one of the most important leadership skills you can develop. Grab a drink and join us. Quotes from the Episode "Imagine that guy pouring down rain. He's in ankle deep water holding a 240 volt line over his head thinking, well, at least I'm getting paid for this." — Kate "Watch out for fixes that move the problem instead of solving it." — Kim Practical Takeaways When project scope or scale increases dramatically, bring in people who have experience operating at that level. Challenge proposed solutions by asking whether they solve the root cause or simply move the problem elsewhere. Escalate business-level risks back to leadership when leadership made the decision to accept those risks. Build post-mortems that document both successes and failures—not just one side of the story. Tailor project communication to sponsor priorities while still surfacing risks clearly and consistently. Closing Reflection A project can be operationally messy and still be considered a success by its sponsors. The question isn't just whether a project succeeded—but whose definition of success ultimately mattered.

This milestone 400th—and final—episode of SaaS Fuel brings clarity to what's broken with outbound, why most companies blend into the noise, and how founders can actually futureproof their pipeline. Jeff Mains is joined by Mohan Muthoo, founder of Spring Drive—a go-to-market lab for B2B teams in fiercely competitive markets. Together, they break down why more signals, tools, and AI aren't solving real outbound problems (and might be quietly killing your reply rates). Mohan shares a hard-hitting playbook for rethinking outbound, segmenting intelligently, and crafting messaging with genuine resonance. If you're still spray-and-praying, this episode hands you the megaphone—with exactly what to say.Jeff Mains also announces the evolution of SaaS Fuel into Futureproof Founder, a show dedicated to helping founder-led companies build and last in a changing world.Key Takeaways00:00 Podcast journey and personal growth04:14 Understanding Sustainable Company Growth06:44 Starting the Spring Drive agency11:26 Differentiating and refining campaign strategy15:21 Thinking About AI Personalization18:07 Building trust in outbound marketing20:53 The pitfalls of personalization marketing23:12 Understanding Messaging in Sales Funnels27:07 Importance of message market fit32:18 Optimizing marketing and sales offers33:45 Email testing best practices37:38 Rethinking market segmentation40:24 Understanding Email Deliverability44:13 Conveying product simplicity48:42 Evaluating Messaging and Offers52:26 Show wrap-up and special announcement53:54 Podcast format and episode topicsTweetable Quotes“If your outbound message looks like everyone else's, expect nothing but silence.”“Real personalization means offering what they truly want—not just what you found on LinkedIn.”“The tools don't cook the meal, you do.

Gajraj Rao — the actor who waited 25 years for Bollywood to notice him — sits down with Gaurav Arora on xMonks Drive for his most honest interview yet. Best known for his National Award and Filmfare Award-winning role as Jeetendra Kaushik in Badhaai Ho, Gajraj Rao opens up about his journey from a railway colony in Rajasthan to Delhi theatre to becoming one of Hindi cinema's most loved character actors.In this episode, Gajraj Rao talks about his early struggles before fame — working as a tailor, writing for newspapers for a few hundred rupees, and getting rejected at hundreds of auditions alongside actors who are now household names. He shares rare, personal stories from the set of Bandit Queen with Shekhar Kapur, his 40-year friendship with Manoj Bajpayee, and an unforgettable backstage memory from their theatre days together. He also opens up about his father, the quiet lessons he learned at home, and how that shaped the man and actor he became.Gajraj Rao reflects on his chemistry with Neena Gupta in Badhaai Ho, the hardest scene he ever shot, his preparation process as an actor, and his sharp, unfiltered opinion on what it really means to be a "character actor" versus a star in Hindi cinema. He also speaks about his decades-long career in advertising filmmaking that quietly supported him through his most uncertain years, and the one principle he says he never compromised on — his self-respect.This conversation covers his most celebrated films and shows — Badhaai Ho, Talvar, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Maidaan, Dabba Cartel, Dupahiya — and the people who shaped his career, including Manoj Bajpayee, Ashish Vidyarthi, Neena Gupta, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Ajay Devgn.Whether you know him as the dad from TVF's Tech Conversations with Dad, Kaushik Saab from Badhaai Ho, or one of Bollywood's most respected character actors, this episode of xMonks Drive gives you the most complete, honest, and personal conversation with Gajraj Rao yet.

I've seen Becky Tailor's work in person and knew after that I had to have her on the show. BUT, she is one busy gal, so it was great when she gave me a date that she could appear on our 6/14/2026 show. Like I said, I've seen Becky work in person in the famous "Lost Popcorn Scene" but it was great none the less! We talked with Becky about how she got started and future plans and we can't wait to see her at shows down the road. At the halfway point of the interview, we had a special feature with Kianna Bradley as well. In the last 20 minutes, we brought in Becky's hubby, who is also her manager and had a discussion with him too. Along with Becky we had our regulars, plus Lorenzo, Richard Pacheco and Big Dick Johnson.

In this episode, I share an unexpected conversation with my tailor that reminded me of an important truth: while AI and rapid technological changes are creating waves in the market and in our minds, some fundamentals never change. Skills, relationships, values, and staying grounded remain timeless. In a world obsessed with the next big thing, sometimes the wisest approach is to stick to our basics and stay calm.Live with passion and disciplineDr Sandeep Patil.

This week, Scott was joined by his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Michael Feinberg, and Molly Roberts to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Blanche Check.” DOJ may soon have a new permanent leader, as President Trump has now formally nominated Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to the role permanently. But to secure Trump's support, Blanche has indulged some of Trump's most concerning instincts, as evidenced by the attempt to establish an anti-weaponization fund for Trump allies and renewed indictments of figures like former FBI Director James Comey. Meanwhile, DOJ has seen scandal after scandal during Blanche's tenure over the rapidly declining quality and credibility of its work, exemplified most recently by evidence of grand jury tampering, arguably, in the Broadview Six prosecutions. What should we expect of DOJ under a confirmed Blanche? And how enduring will some of the harm that may result be for the department?“Tinker, Tailor, Realtor, Spy.” President Trump's decision to dual-hat Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte—a man with no national security experience, who is best known for using his role at the FHFA to facilitate some of Trump's most transparent attacks on perceived political enemies—as Acting Director of National Intelligence has triggered strong reactions across the political spectrum. This includes a threat by congressional Democrats to kill renewal of Section 702 surveillance authorities if Pulte remains in the acting position. But Trump has thus far refused to back down. What does Pulte's appointment—and the potential expiration of Section 702—mean for national security?“Pratt Falls.” The open primary in the Los Angeles mayor's race is over, and Trump-endorsed candidate Spencer Pratt finished just outside the final two who will proceed into the general election. But U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, a Trump loyalist, has suggested that voter fraud investigations are ongoing, leading some other Republican officials and leaders to call the results into question. What should we make of these unsubstantiated allegations? And are they a preview of what Republicans have planned for 2026? In object lessons, Mike is kraken himself up over his plans to create the ultimate toy for his child. Ben is announcing the beta release of RAGtime, the tool that he (and Claude) developed to comb through large, messy datasets. Scott is heating things up in his backyard with his new Gozney pizza oven. And Molly is quacking up about her mallard, acquired from (the now unfortunately closed) Archipelago in Maine.

RJ Talyor is the Founder and CEO of Backstroke a AI for eCommerce generative content platform for email marketers. Instantly create on-brand, high-performing email subject lines, preview text, mobile push notifications, and SMS messages.Summary of PodcastPodcast introduction and guest backgroundGraham and Kevin introduce the Next 100 Days Podcast and welcome RJ Talyor from Indianapolis. RJ describes Indianapolis as offering the best of a big city with a small-city feel, with about a million people, great sports, culture, food, and good cost of living. He has traveled extensively but always enjoys returning home.Backstroke's AI email generation platformRJ introduces Backstroke.com, which generates performant email campaigns for e-commerce retailers selling clothes, pet food, furniture, and other products online and in-store. E-commerce brands typically expect 20-50% of revenue from email marketing while sending 3-5+ emails weekly, with customers spending 8-12 hours per campaign. Backstroke reduces this to approximately 15 minutes while personalising content so each customer receives a different message tailored to their interests and behaviour.Personalisation through data and engagement Backstroke personalises emails using multiple data layers: subscriber status, past engagement (opens, clicks, conversions), and appended third-party data revealing demographics like age, location, and gender. When additional data is unavailable, the platform uses progressive profiling—analysing engagement patterns to infer preferences. For example, if a customer consistently clicks on men's content over women's content, or prefers dark-coloured shirts over light ones, AI identifies these patterns to drive personalisation, which is more effective than manual analysis.Real-world personalisation: from negative to advocateGraham shares a personal story about Son of a Tailor, a Portuguese apparel brand, where his initial experience was poor—they sent him a shirt too short for his frame. However, the company responded exceptionally well, ultimately creating a monogrammed, high-quality shirt that transformed him into an advocate. RJ explains this is valuable data: AI can flag customers who experienced negative-to-positive journeys as potential super-fans or loyalty advocates, a pattern most marketers miss because they lack time to identify such nuanced customer experiences.AI pattern recognition beyond traditional metricsTraditional RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) models reduce customers to transactional data, but AI can extract signal from unstructured data to identify complex patterns. For instance, AI can recognize when a customer buys different sizes (suggesting purchases for others) or when multiple preferences exist within one account—like RJ's Spotify feed where his children's music preferences mix with his own. AI discerns these overlapping patterns that aren't immediately obvious to humans, enabling more sophisticated segmentation.Team expertise and company historyRJ co-founded Backstroke with his wife Allison, who holds a PhD in deep data analysis and chemical reagents, bringing statistical rigour and predictive modelling expertise. RJ's background includes starting Pattern89 in 2016, an AI company predicting Instagram and Facebook clicks using computer vision and natural language processing, which he sold to Shutterstock. Many Pattern89 team members joined Backstroke, bringing 10 years of AI-based marketing experience, while the team continuously innovates with new foundational models from Anthropic and OpenAI.Implementation results and Surge featureBackstroke achieves an average 30% uplift in conversion rates for new clients. Implementation typically takes about a month for full transformation, but recognising customer demand for faster results, the company launched "Surge," enabling campaigns to launch in 48 hours. This rapid-deployment feature demonstrates predictive capabilities quickly, satisfying customers who want immediate proof before committing to full onboarding.Email variants and human approval at scaleWhile technically capable of generating 10,000+ unique email variants, Backstroke has found that customers require human review of every variant version. Current implementations range from 60-100 variants, with combinations of hero images, subject lines, and templates creating exponential possibilities. The company is building QA agents to enable scaling to millions of variants while maintaining human oversight, recognizing that creative teams ultimately bear responsibility for brand representation.Brand guidelines versus performance metricsA fundamental tension exists between brand teams (who enforce guidelines like "models must face forward" or "only use this colour") and performance marketers (who know "shirts perform better laid on a bed than on a human"). RJ explains this is often gut-feel decision-making based on outdated tests—teams cite tests from a year ago by employees who've since left, creating stale guidelines. AI enables rapid testing of creative variations to identify incremental opportunities, but requires organisational willingness to experiment beyond established brand rules.Customer selection philosophyRather than trying to convince resistant customers to embrace AI, RJ focuses on the "one in 10" truly innovative marketers willing to change. He learned from his previous business that most prospects claim interest but quickly reveal organizational barriers requiring approvals. His strategy is to identify customers genuinely committed to transformation and willing to pay, directing others to resources instead. This approach conserves energy for high-potential partnerships where AI can deliver real impact.Backstroke's core value propositionBackstroke solves the "what" problem: what content, subject line, preview, template, hero image, product display, and offer to send to each person. The platform knows that 46% of clicks occur in the first 400 pixels, so it optimizes that space differently for men versus women, loyal customers versus new ones, and geographic regions. This focused specialization on content optimization is Backstroke's primary value, distinct from solving "when" (send time) or "who" (segmentation) problems.Practical tips for email marketersFor marketers using standard LLMs without specialised platforms, RJ recommends uploading all previous email data and creative assets, then asking the machine to identify winning creative dimensions. This approach reveals patterns in subject lines, imagery, copy length, and offers without requiring subscriber-level analysis, enabling better-than-average results for those without access to specialised tools.Email frequency paradox and engagementKevin raises frustration with receiving excessive emails from companies he likes, asking if AI can enable sending less email while achieving better results. RJ explains that higher engagement with personalised content could theoretically reduce frequency, but email is fundamentally a frequency game—brands send multiple emails weekly to stay top-of-inbox when customers are ready to buy. However, deliverability depends on engagement (opens, clicks), so sending irrelevant content backfires. Backstroke solves the "what" problem, but send-time optimisation and segmentation (the "when" and "who") remain separate challenges.Market focus and customer examples Backstroke focuses exclusively on B2C e-commerce in North America due to language complexity and GDPR privacy requirements in Europe. The platform serves impulse-purchase categories (apparel, furniture, bedding) differently than considered purchases (mattresses, cars), with separate trained models for each. Notable customers include Third Love (women's intimates), Cozy Earth (bedding), Helix (mattresses), and Emile Henry (cookware), representing the apparel and home goods verticals where Backstroke has developed deep expertise.Future roadmap: predictive marketing agentsRJ's 18-month roadmap focuses on building predictive marketing agents that complete marketing tasks generatively while humans serve as brand stewards and strategists. This vision extends beyond email to SMS, apps, and landing pages, with personalisation as a core feature. Graham notes the challenge of making such systems intuitive enough for non-technical users, reflecting the broader industry shift toward AI-augmented rather than AI-replaced marketing roles.European expansion and compliance strategyWhile Backstroke is currently North America-focused, RJ is open to European partnerships but wants to be proactive about compliance. GDPR itself isn't a blocker, but European customers require security documentation and certifications that Backstroke hasn't yet obtained. The company recently achieved SOC 2 compliance (required by enterprise businesses) and plans to secure necessary privacy certifications before entering European markets, avoiding disqualification during sales cycles.Podcast analysis and key takeawaysIn the wrap-up, RJ praises the podcast for getting past fluff into real marketing challenges, appreciating the nitty-gritty discussion of how marketers actually work. Graham and Kevin reflect that the conversation revealed AI's potential to solve the "what" problem while highlighting remaining challenges in "when" and "who" decisions. They note that Kevin's observation about sending less email...

Tyler Anbinder highlights the upward mobility of Irish artisans and entrepreneurs, showcasing George Fox, a trained tailor who became a successful merchant tailor through aggressive self-promotion and by providing free garments to prominent politicians like Millard Fillmore. The transition from journeyman to master was a critical step for many skilled workers, such as carpenters and masons, who benefited from New York's rapid physical expansion. The Immigrant Savings Bank records track these paths of success, revealing how parents plateauing in artisanal roles focused on ensuring their children could enter professional classes like law and medicine.

When your homeschool child won't do work, it's rarely just about laziness—it often signals a deeper need for curiosity, connection, and meaningful engagement. If you're a homeschool mom, you've probably said or thought something like: “My kids don't really care about their lessons. They just want to get through it so they can get on their screens.”“I think my daughter only enjoys going to coop because of her friends, not any actual learning.”“He races through his work without engaging—he's just checking boxes.”“There's outright resistance now. I don't know if it's the work or if it's me or if he’s just rebellious.” These situations are very common, not unusual. And the question behind them is universal: how do you help your child become an independent learner who is genuinely curious and engaged—not someone who treats learning like a chore to avoid? If this resonates with you, a great first step is my free Deschool Your Homeschool Checklist, which helps you step back from school-y thinking, reconnect with how your child naturally learns, and create space for curiosity, calm, and connection. Grab your free Deschool Checklist and Help Your Kids Love Learning 5 Reasons Why Your Homeschool Child Won't Do Work Reason 1: When Your Homeschool Child Won’t Do Work — Learning Feels Like a Chore Many children resist because they've learned to associate “learning” with compliance or tedium. They may rush through assignments just to get them done or outright refuse work that doesn't interest them. To be fair, we adults do that too. When someone says, “Hey, you know what would make tax season easier and more satisfying? Take a course on filing your taxes.” Interesting, you think, and clever, that’s exactly what I should do! (No, you don’t think that. You think, naw, thanks, I’ll do what I have to do until next tax season.) Can I hear an amen? ps don’t respond if you actually enjoy doing taxes, ha–it won’t serve my point;) Well, ditto for your kids. Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck explains that a fixed mindset develops when children feel their worth is tied to “doing it right.” In these cases, resistance is not a character flaw—it's a protective response. What you can do: Follow your child's curiosity whenever possible. Show them that learning happens everywhere: in the kitchen, in nature, in everyday problem-solving. Reason 2: When Your Homeschool Child Won't Do Work—Check Your Own Motivation First Kids are highly sensitive to the adults around them. If you're scattered, anxious, or uninspired, they pick up on it. Angela Duckworth, author of Grit, notes that parents who raise resilient, motivated children model passion and perseverance in their own lives. And isn’t that what we all want? This homeschool lifestyle isn’t just equipping our kids to do live a purposeful life, it’s offering us that opportunity too! (And I encourage you to take it!) What you can do: Reconnect with your own curiosity and goals. Are you motivated? What gets you up in the morning? Model learning and persistence in ways your child can observe. Show them you're engaged by joining a book club, starting your own business, or simply signing up for a class at the local community college. Show them that you're learning math concept right alongside them (or whatever other topic you find challenging, I chose math because I had to learn it before I taught it

But my budget is tight... could you adjust the price a little?"Ko: 수진은 잠시 고민하다가 말했다. "미준 씨, 조상님을 위한 행사니 조금 도와드릴게요."En: Sujin pondered for a moment and then said, "Mijun, since this is for an ancestral event, I will help you a bit."Ko: 결국 미준은 자신의 예산에 딱 맞는 가격에 한복을 구할 수 있었다.En: In the end, Mijun was able to buy the hanbok at a price that perfectly matched his budget.Ko: 기뻐서 감사의 인사를 전했다.En: Filled with joy, he expressed his gratitude.Ko: "수진 씨, 정말 고맙습니다. 전통도 지키고 예산도 맞출 수 있었어요."En: "Sujin, thank you so much. I was able to uphold tradition and stay within my budget."Ko: 미준은 수진 덕분에 해결책을 찾았다.En: Thanks to Sujin, Mijun found a solution.Ko: 그는 전통을 지키면서도 현실을 고려해야 한다는 중요한 교훈을 배웠다.En: He learned the important lesson of maintaining tradition while considering reality.Ko: 이는 그의 새로운 자신감의 시작이었다.En: This was the beginning of his newfound confidence.Ko: 이야기는 시장의 활기찬 분위기 속에서 따뜻하게 마무리되었다.En: The story concluded warmly amid the lively atmosphere of the market.

First cast this morning is off the sand with Alex Bellissimo chasing big beach Tailor. Alex shares his sure fire techniques and tips for reading the water and finding the fish and they are starting to come on too!  

The Tailor and Ansty by Eric Cross, which was published in 1942, celebrated the wit and conversation of a couple that lived in Gougane Barra. Kilgarvan native Tadhg Buckley and his wife Anastasia were renowned for their humour. Astonishingly, the book was banned because of the couple’s earthy language. Jerry spoke to Neil Lucey, owner of the Gougane Barra Hotel, and Seán Ó Súilleabháin of Cumann Staire Uibh Laoire/ Ballingeary and Inchigeela Historical Society.

Between Michelin stars and James Beard Awards, it's safe to say that Denver has secured its place in the food world. But, a lot more goes into making a 5-star restaurant than just awesome food. We are revisiting a conversation from earlier this year where host Bree Davies chats with Kevin Nguyen, the award winning architect behind some of Denver's most celebrated restaurants, like Brutø, The Wolf's Tailor, Hey Kiddo, Hop Alley, Xiquita, and more. The two parse out what else can really make, or break, an elite restaurant experience.

Are you still using one-factor-at-a-time experiments for biosimilar development, losing months, missing interactions, and risking costly dead-ends?In this episode, David Brühlmann, host of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, reveals how traditional "one factor at a time" screening in biosimilar development can take over 12 months, while the parallel group design massively accelerates discovery by grouping up to five factors per experiment and applying a multivariate analysis pipeline.Topics discussed:The limitations of traditional and large DoE designs and the advantages of parallel group design (00:08)Best practices for grouping compounds by biological mechanism with four essential rules (00:53)The importance of anchor compounds, separating strong modulators, and initial univariate screens for unknown compounds (01:43)Guidance on managing practical issues, including evaporation, liquid handling, osmolality, and replicating production processes (06:42)The use of multivariate analysis tools: Principal Component Analysis, Mahalanobis distance, and decision trees for candidate selection (10:14)Key results and outcomes from applying the parallel group method, including faster and more cost-effective quality modulator identification (12:46)Three improvements David would recommend today: prequalifying compounds, broader quality analytics, and hybrid modeling integration (13:49)The shift in mindset from “time problem” to “information problem” in process development (16:50)Extending the parallel group and multivariate approach to other areas like clone selection and scale-up decisions (17:52)Smart insight:Process development is fundamentally about generating actionable information, not just running more experiments. The parallel group, multivariate pipeline lets teams ask better questions, in parallel, with dramatically improved data yield. This mindset and methodology extend well beyond biosimilar media development into clone selection, feed design, and process characterization, wherever complexity would paralyze traditional approaches.If you want more detail, you can read the full article “Parallel experimental design and multivariate analysis provides efficient screening of cell culture media supplements to improve biosimilar product quality” published in Biotechnology and Bioengineering, which outlines the methods and findings behind this approach.If you're interested in hybrid modeling, here's what previous podcast guests have shared on the topic, offering perspectives from fundamentals to real-world applications.Episodes 05 - 06: Hybrid Modeling: The Key to Smarter Bioprocessing with Michael SokolovEpisodes 99 - 100: From Raw Data to Actionable Insights: Unlocking the Power of Process Models with Fabian FeidlEpisodes 137 - 138: Skip 90% of Bioreactor Runs: The In Silico Revolution in Bioprocess Development with Yossi QuintEpisodes 173 - 174: Mastering Hybrid Model Digital Twins: From Lab Scale to Commercial Bioprocessing with Krist GernaeyNext step: If this was useful, leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Todd and Eric revisit one of the most downloaded episodes in TodCast history with a remastered deep dive into one of the most unique bands of all time.What starts as a simple ranking exercise turns into a full breakdown of a band with multiple identities, shifting sounds, and decades of music that somehow all falls under one name.In this episode:The origins of Chicago and how they helped define the horn-driven rock sound.Why their album naming system makes everything more confusing than it should be.The evolution from classic rock experimentation to full-blown soft rock ballads.The internal band dynamics that led to a major shift in sound and direction.A debate between early-era Chicago vs later-era Chicago and which version actually holds up.How nostalgia plays a role in ranking music and whether it should.From 25 or 6 to 4 to power ballads about undying love, this episode explores what makes Chicago both iconic and divisive depending on when you discovered them.If you've ever argued about whether a band “changed too much” or just evolved with the times, this one hits right in that sweet spot.

Todd goes back to the beginning with a completely unstructured episode that somehow turns into a full exploration of personal “seasons.”What starts as a drive-time ramble with no agenda evolves into a surprisingly thoughtful breakdown of identity, habits, and the rhythms that define everyday life.In this episode:The origin of Beard Season and why October 1 became a personal milestone.High school mustache rules, Navy regulations, and the long road to facial hair freedom.Why shaving your beard creates chaos for everyone around you.The transition from Sweater Season to Flannel Season and what that says about evolving style.The concept of hobby cycles including painting season, reading season, and writing season.A look at early ToddCast energy where anything could become a topic.From wizard costumes and shoe polish hair hacks to long-form reflections on creativity, this episode captures the raw foundation of the podcast before structure, before polish, and before expectations.If you've ever found yourself fully committed to something for a season and then suddenly moved on, this episode will feel very familiar.

4. George Fox: The Rise of an Ambitious Merchant Tailor George Fox exemplifies the entrepreneurial ambition inherent in many Irish immigrants. Trained as a tailor, he initially earned a pittance sewing for major retailers but eventually opened his own shop on Broadway. Fox became a master of self-promotion, advertising extensively and providing free, high-quality clothing to President Millard Fillmore and prominent senators to build his reputation. This transition from journeyman to master was a primary goal for many skilled Irish artisans. Since New York was rapidly expanding, carpenters, masons, and tailors were rarely out of work, allowing them to accumulate savings and provide social mobility for their children. 41880 ACHILL

This is my annual Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month episode. This year, I'm joined by returning guest Dr. Brittany Hoffmann-Eubanks. She was on the show in December 2021 to talk about Medical Writing (Episode 127 https://bit.ly/4cIVeBt).   To read the FULL show notes, visit https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com.  Click the Podcast tab, and select episode 369.   Follow the podcast to get each new episode!

The perspectives and experiences she shares are her own and do not represent her employer or any organization she's affiliated with.   In this episode, we're discussing neuroaffirming care, "dispensing" practical tips to help you better serve patients on the autism spectrum, and providing context to help you understand the broader ecosystem that patients on the spectrum and their caregivers navigate every day. Once you hear about neuroaffirming care, it just might change the way you approach all neurodiverse patients and possibly improve your relationships with them, too.   At the very end of this episode, I give an update about my son Kraig, who is now 23 and has autism.   Take-aways from this episode If you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism. Every person with autism is different. Curiosity is a clinical skill. When you're curious, you get the information you need to have positive patient interactions. Presume competence, but verify understanding. Use tools like the teach-back method, especially when a caregiver is involved. Meet patients where they are. Tailor your patient counseling to meet your patient's needs. That might mean slowing down your rate of speech during patient counseling, adjusting your communication style, including a parent or caregiver in the conversation, or being mindful of sensory needs like noise, light, taste, texture, or smell. Social stories are a useful tool. Use pictures paired with statements to help patients on the spectrum learn about a shot or a medication before they experience it. Language matters. People with autism are "people first." Don't objectify or dehumanize them with language - intentionally or accidentally.  Pharmacists are consistent touch points in our fragmented US healthcare system. We may see neurodiverse patients more often than their primary care or other providers see them. You are a constant in someone's life. Think ability first. Think about what you are able to do as that constant in your patient's life. The next time you interact with a patient who is neurodiverse, try doing just one thing differently. Wait a little longer for your patient to respond, ask one more question, use their name, etc. Those small moments may even save you time later. They build trust, prevent confusion, reduce callbacks, and help patients get it right the first time.    These calls to action will make your care more effective, not add additional burdens.   If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a message through social media or the contact form on my website, thepharmacistsvoice.com. Tell me what you learned or how you've applied it in your practice.  If you know a fellow pharmacy professional who needs to hear this episode, please share it with them.

What starts as a normal episode quickly turns into one of those conversations that goes completely off the rails—in the best way possible.In this episode of The After Show But Later, Daniel and Luis Cortez Jr. bounce between topics like only they can, somehow connecting everything from the legacy of The Crow and the tragic story of Brandon Lee, to wrestling history, street culture, and everyday life experiences. It's the kind of episode where you come for one topic… and stay for ten others you didn't expect.The conversation dives into how Sting built his iconic persona inspired by The Crow, and how pop culture moments like that shape entire generations. From there, it spirals into real-life experiences growing up around graffiti, tagging, and creative expression—sharing personal stories, sketchbooks, and memories that highlight how deeply culture influences identity.But this isn't just nostalgia. The episode also mixes in hilarious, relatable moments—from breaking down the difference between “barrio” vs “varrio,” to debating random everyday topics like washing hats (and why most people are doing it wrong). It's that blend of humor, storytelling, and unpredictability that makes this show what it is.If you've ever had a conversation with your friends that somehow jumps from serious topics to completely random debates—and still makes perfect sense—this episode is exactly that energy.⏱️ Chapters00:00 Intro – Patreon, live vs future viewers01:30 Why this episode isn't live (and how to fix that)03:00 The Crow legacy & Brandon Lee story06:30 Wrestling connection – Sting's iconic transformation10:20 Wild transition… vasectomy talk

In this podcast I talk with Josh Secrest, VP of Marketing at Paradox (Workday) about how we segment the “frontline” into useful worker categories. As you will hear, the complex issues of hiring, training, managing, leading, and building operational excellence vary widely from role to role. Many companies think “Frontline” is a category. As you'll discover, this is not really true. Our new research shows that there are more than 800 “Frontline” worker job titles and they are not only industry-specific but also vary by skill type, skills depth, front or back office, licensing, and professional credential. And these dimensions play a major role in all HR, pay, reward, training, scheduling, and retention strategies. This episode sets the stage for our follow-on podcasts where we detail the Five Types of Frontline Work, a body of research you'll find even more useful in leading this important part of our companies. Remember, Frontline work makes up over 70% of all US (80% global) workers, and commands more than 3 $Trillion of pay and rewards investment.

You'll learn why fleet leadership is evolving, how to translate technical KPIs into meaningful business impact, and why telling your fleet story is one of the most important skills you can develop. The conversation also explores how modern fleet managers can eliminate blind spots, improve asset availability, and build trust with leadership using clear, defensible data. They also preview NAFA sessions designed to help new and emerging leaders build confidence through hands-on learning, including an interactive “fleet escape room” experience. If you're struggling to explain your value, improve fleet performance, or move from reactive to proactive operations, this episode gives you the roadmap. Key Takeaways: Fleet Success Starts with Eliminating Blind Spots You can't improve what you can't see. Metrics like availability, PM compliance, and downtime trends are critical, but only if you understand and contextualize them. Visibility → Confidence → Better Decisions. 2. KPIs Don't Matter Without Context Leadership doesn't care about “98% availability,” they care about: Your job is to translate data into meaningful outcomes. 3. Fleet Managers Must Become Storytellers The most impactful skill: explaining the “why” behind fleet decisions Tailor messaging based on audience: 4. Fleet Leadership Paths Are Changing There are now 3 primary paths into fleet leadership: Technician → Supervisor → Manager (traditional) Industry + education hybrid (operations + admin) Non-technical leaders (finance, analysts, engineers) 5. Purpose Drives Culture and Performance Technicians aren't just fixing vehicles, they're enabling: Repeating this purpose builds engagement and retention. 6. Think Small to Drive Big Change Large initiatives fail without incremental execution Focus on: 7. Continuous Learning Is Non-Negotiable Fleet managers must actively seek knowledge: The biggest risk:  not knowing what you don't know Speaker Bios Facundo Tassara Fleet Success Ambassador, RTA Facundo Tassara brings over 26 years of experience across public and private fleet operations. As Fleet Success Ambassador at RTA, he helps fleet leaders eliminate blind spots, improve performance, and confidently communicate their value to leadership. With a background spanning shop operations, government fleet, and technology, Facundo is passionate about helping fleets transition from reactive chaos to structured, data-driven success.Bradley Northrup Public Works Fleet Superintendent, City of Carlsbad Bradley Northrup leads fleet operations for the City of Carlsbad, where he has driven significant performance improvements and helped the organization earn recognition as the #1 small fleet in the nation.
