Use code HEHE for 40% off the softest PJ's, loungewear, or even new sheets to make your pregnancy and postpartum feel a little more luxurious: https://cozyearth.com/ In this week's episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, we're tackling one of the biggest elephants in the birthing room: sky-high C-section rates in the U.S. (yep, we're talking about that 1 in 3 number). But here's the good news: you don't have to just accept that as the norm. I'm sitting down with Juli Pyle, a certified nurse midwife who has helped her small, rural hospital keep their C-section rate at just 12% (I know, jaw drop, right?). Together, we're pulling back the curtain on what's really working—things like midwives and OBs actually collaborating as a team, evidence-based care that puts families first, and a hospital culture that truly values physiological birth. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to lower C-section rates and protect birthing families, this episode is going to light a fire in you. 00:00 Introduction to the Birth Lounge Podcast 01:16 The Nation's C-Section Rate and WHO Recommendations 01:55 Introducing Juli Pyle: A Nurse Midwife with a 12% C-Section Rate 03:26 Achieving Low C-Section Rates: Insights from Juli Pyle 06:18 Challenges and Solutions in Maternity Care 07:29 Encouragement for Large Hospital Systems 09:16 Interview with Juli Pyle Begins 10:41 The Project and Results: Integrating Midwifery into Hospital Practice 12:43 Midwifery Care and Trust Between Providers 19:04 Co-Managing High-Risk Pregnancies 25:56 Ego and Team Dynamics in Maternity Care 29:01 The Importance of Midwifery in Large Hospitals 31:58 Ad for Cozy Earth: Comfort During Pregnancy 34:03 Licensure Structure for Midwives in Pennsylvania 34:56 The Role and Training of Certified Nurse Midwives 35:25 Legislation and Independent Practice for Midwives 38:02 Challenges in Mississippi's Healthcare System 43:13 Midwifery Care Across Different Regions 45:40 Managing Labor and Reducing C-Section Rates 57:49 The Importance of Evidence-Based Practice 01:04:23 Encouragement for Healthcare Advocates 01:06:58 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Guest Bio:   Juli Pyle (she/her) is a certified nurse midwife who practices at a community hospital in rural Pennsylvania. Juli was a stay at mom for many years to five children before deciding to return to school to pursue a degree in nursing. She graduated from Colorado Mesa University with a bachelors of science in nursing degree in 2016 and then began her nursing career as a labor and delivery nurse. She quickly discovered that this was her true passion (as she had suspected since birthing her own children) and rapidly gained a reputation for professionalism, compassion and expertise among colleagues and patients. She then returned to Frontier Nursing University to complete a Master's degree in Nursing with an emphasis in midwifery. In 2020, she began her career as a certified nurse-midwife at a small community hospital in central Pennsylvania where she has been since that time. Her focus as a CNM is to provide evidence-based education to all birthing families, give true autonomy and informed consent throughout their time with her and to share love, understanding, empathy and true shared-decision making. Juli also currently serves on the Pennsylvania MMRC (maternal mortality review committee). When not immersed in the birthing world, she enjoys spending time refinishing furniture, gardening, raising chickens, hiking and vacationing with her husband and family.

Salum Abdul-Rahman: From Isolation to Integration—Rebuilding Agile Team Connection For Remote Teams Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Salum describes working with a grocery ecommerce team during COVID that fell into the trap of prioritizing individual convenience over team collaboration. Remote work led team members to design their work around personal preferences, with the lead developer becoming increasingly isolated and unresponsive to team communication. This anti-pattern of "what works for me" over "what works for the whole team" created significant dysfunction. Despite management intervention, the situation required creative solutions like organizing face-to-face sessions and shared working sessions with digital whiteboards to rebuild team cohesion. Featured Book of the Week: Agile Retrospectives One of the most important roles of Scrum Masters is to help teams develop themselves. Salum emphasizes that you can't tell the team what to do - you have to help them discover it themselves. "Agile Retrospectives" provides the foundation for running meaningful retrospectives that become the key tool for team self-development. The book's emphasis on variation and building retrospectives to match your team's needs and maturity level makes it essential for empowering teams to grow and evolve continuously. Self-reflection Question: How might your team's current work arrangements prioritize individual convenience over collective effectiveness, and what steps could you take to shift this balance?

Salum shares a challenging situation where a software architect with deep expertise struggled to integrate with the team.

The conflict escalated when the architect disengaged from teamwork and ultimately left the company.

Irene Castagnotto: Three Toxic Conditions That Destroy Agile Team Effectiveness Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Irene encountered a team where everything appeared perfect on the surface, but underneath lay a complete lack of transparency. The team displayed negativity while their manager prevented them from taking responsibility, asking them to complete tasks without explaining the reasoning. These three toxic conditions—negativity, lack of transparency, and micromanagement—combined to destroy the team's effectiveness. Initially hesitant to speak up, Irene ultimately chose to leave. Reflecting on this experience, she emphasizes the importance of addressing problems directly with leadership rather than simply escaping the situation. In this segment, we refer to the 5 monkeys experiment, as comment on conditioning that happens in groups. Featured Book of the Week: Switch by the Heath Brothers Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by the Heath Brothers focuses on understanding change and why it's challenging for people. According to Irene, change isn't difficult because people resist it, but because it creates internal conflict within us. The Heath Brothers explain the three essential elements needed for successful change: the rational rider (logical thinking), the emotional elephant (feelings and motivation), and the path (the environment and systems). The book provides practical guidance on how to facilitate change and help people navigate transitions effectively, emphasizing the importance of celebrating achievements throughout the change process. Self-reflection Question: What internal conflicts might be preventing positive changes in your team, and how can you address both the rational and emotional aspects of resistance?

From being a first-generation athlete in Canada to leading in the tech industry, Tanveer's story is a blueprint for resilience, adaptability, and leadership done right. He breaks down why off-season preparation is just as important in business as it is in sports, how to build trust quickly in a new role, and why betting on people is the single most powerful move a leader can make.

Feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of leadership today? Tune in to learn how building your self-regulation can help you navigate dysregulated times and have more effective conversations. In this episode, my co-host Jenn David-Lang and I had the pleasure of speaking with the amazing Jennifer Abrams, whom I see as a guru of interpersonal relations in education. Jennifer, a full-time international consultant and author of impactful books like Having Hard Conversations and Stretching Your Learning Edge: Growing (up) at Work, joined us to explore the critical topic of self-regulation in dysregulated times. We talked about living in a VUKA world, Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous, and how we need to build complexity fitness by developing our cognitive, emotional, and psychological skills. Jennifer shared that becoming more self-regulated involves building self-awareness, like cleaning up our emotional "dust". It turns out only about 10-15% of people are truly self-aware, and one way to improve is by bravely asking for 360 feedback from your team. We also dove into practical skills for leaders navigating challenging moments, such as learning to suspend certainty that your way is the only way. Saying "Tell me more" instead of reacting can be incredibly powerful. For extroverts like me, focusing on listening instead of jumping in is key. I shared my favorite tactic when someone is stressed: asking, "How long do we have to make this decision?". This simple question helps shift from feeling "subject" to circumstances to viewing them more "objectively". Jennifer left us with powerful parting advice: "Go have humane, growth-producing conversations. That's the goal.".

While working as a business analyst at a startup building an exam evaluation product for universities, Somya witnessed a well-functioning team with good collaboration and timely delivery. However, upper management began challenging the team lead and Scrum Master, accusing the team of padding story points. When leadership confronted the team, the tech lead threw the entire team under the bus, breaking all trust. The CEO's declaration that he could detect padding in estimates shattered the relationship between developers and leadership, leading team members to want to leave. Featured Book of the Week: Agile Retrospectives by Larsen and Derby Somya recommends "Agile Retrospectives" by Larsen and Derby because doing Scrum right means doing retrospectives right. As someone who wanted to excel as a retro facilitator, she found this book invaluable due to its excellent reviews and practical examples.

He emphasizes the importance of engagement, flexibility in rules, variety in activities, inclusivity in team selection, and self-competition, all aimed at enhancing the experiential learning process. Engagement in activities is crucial for effective learning. Flexibility in rules can enhance participation and enjoyment. Variety in activities prevents boredom and keeps participants engaged. Inclusivity in team selection fosters a sense of belonging. Self-competition encourages personal growth and motivation. Minimizing rules can lead to more dynamic and engaging activities. Bending rules can adapt activities to fit different groups. Avoiding repetitive activities maintains interest and excitement. Observation can be a valid form of participation.

Florian describes a payment system development team where an experienced tech lead unknowingly created a dangerous dependency. This senior developer, while well-intentioned, became the single point of knowledge and decision-making for the entire team. Other developers began copying his behavior, creating a culture where team members were afraid to ask questions for fear of appearing incompetent. When this key developer left, the team fell apart - planning sessions became confusing, technical discussions stalled, and two junior developers quit citing lack of learning opportunities. The story demonstrates how knowledge hoarding, even when unintentional, can destroy team resilience and create toxic dynamics that stifle growth and collaboration. In this segment, we refer to the Monday episode with Florian as context for the story he shares on this episode.

In this episode of The Guild Live Show, host Tyson Mutrux shares key takeaways from a New York City mastermind event with attorneys from diverse firms and practice areas. Tyson discusses the “identity crisis” firm owners face when delegating, strategies for handling toxic staff, and innovative ways to package premium legal services.Many law firm owners struggle with identity crises when navigating the legal space, while also being a business owner. This can stem from a range of things. One of the issues is delegation. If a firm owner delegates to many tasks away from themselves, decisions can be made with no input whatsoever, which can make an individual feel like their role at the firm is unimportant. If these feelings persist, it is time to dial things in and take a little more control back. You can also use it as an opportunity to put your focus into other things.Delivering packaged services is a great way to streamline services and provide clients with a great deal. There are a few different ways to do this, such as packaging services that have a flat rate or packaging contingency services. It is important to understand what you provide and what aspects of your firm can be packaged together.

Basketball Coach Unplugged ( A Basketball Coaching Podcast)

The "End of Summer Development" for basketball players typically refers to a crucial period where athletes aim to consolidate gains made over the summer and prepare for the upcoming fall and winter seasons, which often include tryouts, practices, and games. This phase is characterized by a strategic shift in training focus, moving from broad summer conditioning to more specific, basketball-centric preparation. Here's a breakdown of common elements in an End of Summer Development plan: 1. Skill Refinement and Integration: * Drill Work: Intensified focus on fundamental skills like shooting form, dribbling control, passing accuracy, and defensive footwork. This often involves high-repetition drills to build muscle memory. * Game-Situational Drills: Transitioning from isolated skill work to drills that mimic in-game scenarios (e.g., 3-on-3 full-court, 5-on-5 half-court with specific offensive/defensive objectives). This helps players apply skills under pressure and improve decision-making. * Weakness Identification & Improvement: Players and coaches should identify individual weaknesses observed during the summer (e.g., left-hand dribbling, free throw shooting, defensive closeouts) and dedicate specific time to improving these areas. 2. Physical Preparation and Conditioning: * Sport-Specific Conditioning: Moving away from general aerobic conditioning to more basketball-specific bursts of activity, including sprints, suicides, plyometrics (box jumps, hurdle hops), and agility drills (cone drills, ladder drills). The goal is to improve anaerobic capacity and the ability to perform repeated high-intensity efforts. * Strength Maintenance/Peak: Maintaining the strength gains made during earlier summer weight training. The focus might shift from heavy lifting to more power-based exercises or reducing volume slightly to allow for recovery while maintaining strength. * Injury Prevention: Increased emphasis on flexibility, mobility, and pre-habilitation exercises to prevent common basketball injuries. This includes dynamic warm-ups, static stretches, foam rolling, and targeted exercises for joints like ankles, knees, and shoulders. 3. Mental Preparation and Strategy: * Basketball IQ Development: Watching film (both personal and professional), discussing strategies, understanding offensive sets and defensive schemes. * Mental Toughness: Developing resilience, focus, and the ability to perform under pressure. This can involve competitive drills, challenging conditioning sessions, and visualization techniques. * Team Dynamics (if applicable): If a player is already with a team, this period might involve team-building activities, early practices focused on establishing team chemistry, and introducing basic offensive/defensive principles. 4. Recovery and Nutrition: * As training intensity increases, proper recovery becomes even more critical. This includes adequate sleep, active recovery sessions, and proper nutrition to fuel workouts and aid muscle repair. Hydration is also paramount. Why is End of Summer Development Important? Bridge to Season: It serves as a crucial bridge between the less structured summer training and the demanding in-season schedule. Peak Performance: Helps players reach peak physical and mental condition just in time for tryouts and the start of competitive play. Injury Reduction: Proper conditioning and preparation reduce the risk of early-season injuries. Confidence Building: Mastering skills and feeling physically ready boosts a player's confidence entering the new season. In essence, the "End of Summer Development" is about putting all the pieces together – refining skills, peaking physical conditioning, and sharpening mental focus – to ensure a player is fully prepared to perform at their best when it matters most.

Episode 162 – The Tour Finale and the Pre-Pre-Leadville 100 Gravel Race Episode What up party people. Welcome back for another fun episode of the Bonk Bros Podcast where we're talking about our thoughts on the Tour finale, getting into all things drop bars at the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike (I mean gravel) race, as well as our reaction to Dizzle's latest round of VO2max testing, and plenty more.   As always, this episode is brought to you by some of our AMAZING partners who continue to stand by our side and bring you access to some of our favorite products that we use on the daily.   For all of your bicycle tire and accessory shopping needs head over to Bike Tires Direct (or BTD as we call them) and use code “bonkbros” when checking out for a sweet little discount. BTD was kind enough to support the Crested Butte training camp that I co-hosted a few weeks ago and sent us a boat load of tires for the athletes to demo, along with some Silca sealant, and they also provided us with a couple of the newest head units from Garmin, the Edge MTB. We got to put these rugged little buggers to the test over the course of the week and one of the lucky campers even got to go home with one after we raffled it off at the end of camp. If you're in the market for a new bike computer and you're anything like me and constantly breaking these darn things then be sure to check out the Garmin Edge MTB head unit over at Bike Tires Direct.   Next up if you're just sick of having to always pretend like you're buying razors for your wife at the store every time you run out of leg shavers, then check out the best razors for men who shave their legs from our friends over at BOLT Skin + Shave. And for an extra 15% off that silky smooth shave experience type in code BROS15 at checkout. That's Bolk Skin + Shave (code: BROS15)   Oh yeah we've also got the lovely crew over at Silca, our longest running show sponsor who's always developing the latest in marginal gains products plus a whole bunch more. Silca too was a sponsor of the Crested Butte camp, setting us up with Crockpotanator 4000s, tons of Secret Blend wax and all the various chip additives, they made sure we were washing bikes in style every night with the Bike Spa treatment, plus they made sure each camper went home with some Super Secret wax drip lube. Check out any of these products and more over at Silca.cc and use the code “Bonkbrosjuly2025” for discount at checkout.       Just a few more here for y'all.   If you're still in the process of dialing in your training and racing fueling strategy (which you should always be doing) then you need to experiment with the magical powers of ketone esthers by the folks over at KetoneAid. Once you do, you'll quickly find that unlike the absolute monstrosity of sugary concoctions high carb drink mixes are, KetoneAid brings you a product that can be used for both on the bike and off the bike fueling to support overall lifestyle performance. Use ketones for things like enhancing cognitive function, improving recoverability and sleep, and even for that afternoon pick-me-up before you leave the office to head home and hammer out a training ride. Click the link in the show notes for free shipping.   Speaking of hammering out rides, if you're serious about your fitness but just don't have the time or resources available to work with a coach, don't overlook the power of AI to help you curate an effective and easy to follow training plan for your situation. JOIN cycling wants to make sure that every rider has access to a training program just like that and even wants to offer you a FREE month of training when you can head to join.cc/campaigns/bonkbros or click the link in the show notes.   And last one for today is Bicycle Accident Law.

When communicating with their employees, most firms have no idea who they're talking to.Good communication is about knowing your audience. But if your organization is only focused on knowing your customers, James Root says you're forgetting a whole other cohort: your employees.Root is a senior partner at Bain & Company, Chair of Bain Futures, and author of The Archetype Effect, in which he reveals a simple but overlooked truth: people want different things from their jobs. Despite this, most companies' approach to employee motivation and reward is one-size-fits-all. “Every aspect of the standard organization model is built around this idea of the average worker,” he says. The problem? No average worker exists. “What people want from work is highly varied,” he says, and while many organizations spend millions to learn what drives their customers, “The mystery is why haven't we applied that same thinking to our workers?"In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Root and host Matt Abrahams explore how firms can transform organizational success by understanding their internal audience. Whether you're trying to attract new talent or encourage better performance from the team you already have, Root's research shows why it's about knowing your audience — recognizing that different people are motivated by fundamentally different things at work.Episode Reference Links:James RootJames' Book: The Archetype EffectThe Archetype QuizEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across GenerationsEp.104 How to Change: Building Better Habits and Behaviors (And Getting Out of Your Own Way) Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - The Evolving Nature of Work (05:21) - Leading Multigenerational Teams (08:50) - The Six Archetypes Explained (13:55) - The Archetypes Evolution (19:33) - The Final Three Question (22:51) - Conclusion  ********This Episode is brought to you by Strawberry.me.
