Welcome back to the Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS and Valor Plus.On today's episode, we're honored to welcome Deputy Jonathan Lazada and Deputy Chase Gomez of the Indian River County Sheriff's Office Aviation Unit. Jonathan and Chase are the recipients of the Airborne Public Safety Association's Aircrew of the Year Award, as well as the FLIR Vision Award in the Life Saving category, recognizing their extraordinary efforts during a search that ultimately saved three lives.What began as the search for a downed aircraft several miles offshore quickly became a race against time. Operating within the limitations of their aircraft and mission equipment, they relied on disciplined Crew Resource Management, sound decision-making, and an unwavering commitment to the mission. Their persistence paid off when they located three survivors floating in the ocean and directed U.S. Coast Guard rescue assets to their position, leading to a successful rescue.In this conversation, we take a deep dive into every aspect of the mission. Jonathan and Chase walk us through the initial response, the challenges of searching over open water, the limitations of their airframe for this type of operation, and the critical decisions they made while balancing mission success with flight safety. We also discuss the importance of effective Crew Resource Management, maintaining situational awareness under pressure, staying determined when the odds seem stacked against you, and how teamwork became the defining factor in a successful outcome.One of the most rewarding moments came after the rescue, when Jonathan and Chase had the opportunity to meet all three survivors back at the hangar—a powerful reminder of why public safety aviation professionals do what they do.This is an incredible story of professionalism, perseverance, and teamwork under the most demanding conditions. We know you're going to enjoy this conversation.Watch the 2026 FLIR Vision Awards | Life Saver Award with Jonathan and Chase at this link.Thank you to our sponsors CENTUM, MD Helicopters and Quantum Helicopters.

Start your free trial at trainheroic.comThe Core Four — Four Cognitive Traps Killing Military Human PerformanceDrew and Alex gave a standing-room-only breakout at the H2F Symposium on this. Now they have time to actually unpack it. Four heuristics that show up everywhere in military human performance — and in every human-run organization. You can't escape them, but you can at least recognize them. What we get into:Goodhart's Law — when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. The AFT was designed to signal readiness. The moment it became an incentivized metric, people started optimizing the score instead of the fitness. Same thing happened in Vietnam with body counts. The cure: use multiple metrics, reward more than test scores, and acknowledge what the assessment was actually supposed to tell you.McNamara Fallacy — only what can be quantified matters. The first step is measuring what's easy. The second is disregarding what can't be measured. The third is assuming the unmeasurable isn't important. The fourth is deciding it doesn't exist. Sound familiar? Social cohesion, trust, culture, the music playing in the gym — none of these show up on a dashboard. All of them matter enormously. Every minute a coach spends measuring is a minute they spend not coaching.Hammond's Corollary — what gets measured gets managed, but what most needs managing isn't always measurable. The soldier with a perfect AFT score who can't pick up a ruck without throwing out his back. Fitness versus capability. Athleticism versus fitness. You know it when you see it — and just because you can't put it on a graph doesn't mean it doesn't exist.Nazareth syndrome — no man is a prophet in his own home. The one place Jesus got the most skepticism was Nazareth, because they knew him as the carpenter. The embedded human performance team dealing with real constraints gets ignored. The outside consultant with slick branding and a two-day seminar gets the senior leader's full attention. You can't eliminate this one — but you can use it to your advantage.Mentioned in this episode:Drew's article — The Death of Periodization at mopsandmoes.comChris Frankel — assessment framework: camera, map, crystal ball, engineVF Ridgway, 1956 — the actual origin of "what gets measured gets managed"Justice Potter Stewart, 1964 — the porn quote.

If you've ever wondered whether Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) causes abuse, or whether someone is using their diagnosis to avoid accountability, this conversation tackles one of the most misunderstood topics in mental health and relationships. We break down the difference between emotional dysregulation and abusive behavior, explain why a diagnosis is never an excuse for manipulation, and discuss how untreated trauma can create destructive relationship patterns. You'll also learn about splitting, emotional reasoning, fear of abandonment, codependency, walking on eggshells, gaslighting, boundaries, attachment styles, DBT, accountability, and what genuine recovery actually looks like.Throughout this discussion, we share personal experiences with BPD, healing, therapy, and the work it takes to build emotionally healthy relationships. Whether you're living with Borderline Personality Disorder, dating someone with BPD, recovering from an abusive relationship, or simply trying to better understand trauma and emotional regulation, this episode offers practical insights without shame or stigma. Our goal isn't to label people as good or bad. It's to separate explanation from excuse, compassion from enabling, and help people recognize that healing begins when we take responsibility for what our pain produces.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Northeim gemeinsam voranbringen – das möchte Holger Lambrecht (SPD), wenn er zum Bürgermeister gewählt wird. Lambrecht hat bereits langjährige Erfahrung in der Kommunalpolitik – er ist seit 2011 Ortsbürgermeister von Sudheim und seit 2021 stellvertretender Bürgermeister Northeims. Daraus habe er gelernt: Man muss die Menschen mitnehmen und Ziele durch Teamwork erreichen. Inhaltlich stehen für ihn u.a. die Weiterentwicklung des Münsterplatzes, die Sicherung der Waldbühne und die ...

Viele Betriebe investieren nur zögerlich in ihre besten Mitarbeiter – aus Angst, dass diese danach trotzdem gehen. Gerhard Retter dreht die Frage um: Warum sollten Menschen bleiben, wenn ihnen niemand eine echte Perspektive bietet? In Folge #5 von Der RETTER geht es um die gemeinsame Karriere von Mitarbeitern und Betrieb. Welche Ziele verfolgt der Mitarbeiter? Welche Entwicklung kann der Arbeitgeber ermöglichen? Und wie ehrlich müssen beide Seiten über Erwartungen, Bezahlung, Weiterbildung und langfristige Pläne sprechen? Gerhard Retter spricht dabei auch über eine besonders schmerzhafte Erfahrung: Ein enger Mitarbeiter erfand einen schweren Autounfall, weil er nicht sagen konnte, dass er ausgebrannt war und nicht mehr weitermachen konnte. Für Retter ein Beispiel dafür, was passiert, wenn Nähe, Leistungsdruck und fehlende Offenheit aufeinandertreffen. Eine Folge über Karriere, Loyalität und den Mut, langfristig ineinander zu investieren. Mitarbeiter müssen Verantwortung für ihren eigenen Weg übernehmen, Betriebe müssen Chancen schaffen und auch dann fair bleiben, wenn eine Zusammenarbeit endet.

In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Congressman Burgess Owens, former Super Bowl champion and member of the House Education and Workforce Committee, to discuss the rising cost of youth sports, why so many children are being priced out of competition, and how athletics can help develop leadership, discipline, and resilience.

Together, Tudor and Rep. Owens discuss the importance of teaching America's history honestly, strengthening families, protecting girls' sports, and restoring opportunity for the next generation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just like the industry it is serving, the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Strawberry Center has grown a lot in the last decade. This year's 10th annual field day attracted more than 600 growers, scientists and industry members.  While the California strawberry crop value has increased markedly to $3.5 billion last year, work at Cal Poly has intensified.“The three main areas we cover are entomology, plant pathology and automation,” said founding director, Gerald Holmes. “Part of our mission statement is that the research and education that we do addresses grower's needs. If we're not doing that, we're not doing our job.”Automation is a top industry focus because about 60 percent of a grower's expenses come from labor. Innovations of interest include robotic harvesters, a double-barreled bug vacuum and an autonomous pest and disease control using ultraviolet light.Find out more about the strawberry center at strawberry.calpoly.edu.

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. But this conversation goes far beyond Matt's career. His book, The Invisible Profession, explores how the dental laboratory industry arrived at a place where technicians and laboratories are often undervalued, pushed into price competition, and expected to simply keep their heads down and produce. Matt shares his thoughts on the "million little things" that shaped the industry, the danger of becoming a "busy fool," and why laboratories need to stop competing solely on price and start becoming known for the value, expertise, and partnership they bring to the dental team. Elvis, Barb, and Matt also talk about the changing landscape of digital dentistry, AI, 3D printing, speed, service, and why the labs that embrace change and remain agile will be the ones positioned for the future. It's an honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic conversation about where the dental laboratory profession has been, where it is today, and where it can go next.Special Guest: Matt Everatt.

With July being "Pride" month, I thought I would do a series on the concept of Pride. No, I'm not talking about the pride associated with LGBTQ+ issues. While I have no problem with that kind of pride and the importance of LGBTQ+ people's rights, I don't want to get into those issues on a podcast about Great Quotes for Coaches.Today, we end this series on the concept of pride that I have struggled with my entire life - the dichotomy between the positive kind of pride in one's accomplishments and the negative kind of pride that goes too far into arrogance, boastfulness, and vanity that has been named one of the 7 Deadly Sins.As always, I am so grateful to all of you who support the podcast!

This episode is the full breakdown — what periodization actually is, why it doesn't work for tactical populations, and what to do instead.What we get into:Defining the thing first — because not a single person in the online discourse could do it. The NSCA definition: the logical and systematic process of sequencing training interventions to achieve peak performance at appropriate time points. Every version of periodization, whether block, linear, nonlinear, conjugate, or West Side, shares the same five assumptions. The most important one: that biological adaptations follow a predictable course. They don't.Why periodization is a Soviet export — and what that means. Most of the foundational periodization literature is mapping sports science onto communist economic planning. General adaptation syndrome is not a predictive model. It's a descriptive model. Hans Selye never explained what makes something stressful, never told you how much stress causes adaptation, and never specified when the resistance phase begins or ends. Also, his exhaustion phase was death. Not fatigue. Death. The field of stress physiology left him behind decades ago.The Milo and the bull problem — and why progressive overload is almost universally misunderstood. Milo didn't get stronger because the bull got bigger. He was able to lift the bigger bull because he got stronger. The causal arrow runs the other way. What to do instead — navigating versus forecasting. Shorten the prediction window to what the environment actually allows you to control. A week at a time. The low-hanging fruit problem. You've got people debating intricately periodized strength plans for soldiers who are failing a two-mile run where the passing standard is a ten-minute mile pace. That's what this conversation is really about.Also in this episode:Joey Chestnut vs. Usain Bolt in the Glizzy Gauntlet — one hot dog, then a hundred meters. The Army's new testosterone testing program — rapid fire thoughts, concerns about fertility consequences, and thoughts and prayers for military endocrinologists.Mentioned in this episode:Drew's articles — The Death of Periodization and The Art of Training at mopsandmoes.comJohn Kiely — Periodization Theory: Confronting an Inconvenient Truth; Periodization ParadigmsThomas Kuhn — The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, paradigm shiftsFranco Impellizzeri — operational frameworks and self-fulfilling prophecy in periodizationMatt Clark — Eight Myths Weaken Combat ReadinessLong and Strong — the Mops and Moes training program on TrainHeroic Views expressed are those of the speakers and do not represent any official organization.

This episode is a live relationship coaching session where Chris and Peaches help a married couple work through one of the most common causes of conflict, toxic in laws, weak boundaries, poor communication, and feeling unsupported by your spouse. They break down why interrupting your partner slowly destroys emotional safety, how constant correction creates resentment, why your marriage must come before extended family, and what healthy boundaries actually look like when parents refuse to respect your relationship. If you've ever struggled with a controlling mother in law, setting family boundaries, defending your spouse, or improving communication in marriage, this conversation is packed with practical advice you can apply immediately.The conversation also explores chronic illness, self worth, love languages, financial teamwork, and the danger of tying your value to what you can physically provide. Chris and Peaches challenge the couple to adapt to life's circumstances without surrendering responsibility, while offering compassionate guidance on overcoming limiting beliefs, building emotional resilience, and creating a marriage that is protected from outside influence. Whether you're navigating difficult family dynamics, health challenges, marriage struggles, or simply want a stronger relationship built on trust, accountability, and mutual respect, this episode offers honest conversations and actionable tools to help you build a healthier future together.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Most leaders try to fix their team by fixing the people in it. What if that's only 20% of the equation?Pollyanna Lenkic joins Spencer and Christian to make the case that up to 80% of team performance comes from how a team is designed and supported, not from individual coaching alone. As leaders navigate reorgs, AI rollouts, and endless development programs, Pollyanna argues most of them are missing the real lever: they were never trained to see or lead at the level of the system. Before your next big initiative, she offers one question worth asking first — are you strengthening the system your people work within, or just working on the people?TranscriptFree Team Diagnostic

In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches tackle two powerful relationship dilemmas that reveal how boundaries, trust, communication, and long term compatibility can make or break a relationship. The first discussion centers around a mother whose sister violated a clearly established boundary by posting photos of her child on social media without permission. The conversation explores family conflict, boundary enforcement, consequences, narcissistic behaviors, protecting children online, and what happens when relatives refuse to respect parental decisions. If you've ever struggled with toxic family dynamics, overbearing relatives, or setting healthy boundaries, this discussion offers practical insights and a fresh perspective.The second relationship advice segment focuses on a woman questioning her future with a partner whose life goals no longer align with her own. Chris and Peaches dive deep into ambition, marriage expectations, stay at home parenting, financial responsibility, compatibility, communication failures, and the importance of having difficult conversations before making lifelong commitments. Along the way, they discuss personal growth, homeschooling, spirituality, social media dangers, self respect, relationship standards, and building a life with intention. If you're navigating relationship challenges, family drama, marriage decisions, dating, personal development, or modern relationship dynamics, this episode is packed with honest advice and thought provoking discussion.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Drew and Alex sit down with Garrett Beal and Jason Avalar, the PE teachers keeping it alive.What we get into:The program traces back to Mark Wilson, who saw a La Sierra documentary on TV in the seventies, pitched his superintendent, flew out to observe, and came back and built something that's now outlasted everyone who started it. Twenty different physical fitness tests. A colored trunk system where gray is where everyone starts and purple is where almost no one finishes. Records on the wall dating back to 1974 that still haven't been broken.How the point system works — every kid tracks their own progress, logs every test, and gets graded on improvement not just raw performance. Stars for progress, colored trunks for excellence. A 300-pound kid with a perfect attitude and an A in PE because he showed up and worked every single day.The PE assistants — eighth graders who apply in writing, get selected on citizenship and leadership not athleticism, and can lose their shirt for bad grades or bad behavior. Some of the shyest kids in school become the ones leading warm-ups for forty classmates.The records. A girl who ran a 12:27 two-mile as an eighth grader. A boy who did a thousand push-ups unbroken, in perfect form, over an hour. An eighth grade girl who did 143 push-ups and 36 bar dips in a single session. A kid who did 6,500 sit-ups starting at 9am.The mud obstacle course on the last dress-out day of the year. Bear crawls, hurdles, a mud pit, lame dogs, and a fire hose at the finish line.Why this would be nearly impossible to start from scratch today — and why admin support, teacher commitment, and parent buy-in are the three pillars that have kept it alive for fifty years.Alex's commitment on air: connecting Prescott with the folks working on the Presidential Fitness Test rollout.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Barcelona Interns: A Summer of Growth and Unexpected Alliances Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-07-19-07-38-19-ca Story Transcript:Ca: Durant un estiu calorós a la ciutat de Barcelona, Júlia es va endinsar en el món laboral com a becària en una oficina moderna situada al cor del districte financer.En: During a hot summer in the city of Barcelona, Júlia ventured into the working world as an intern in a modern office located in the heart of the financial district.Ca: Era un espai ampli amb grans finestres que deixaven entrar molta llum natural, un lloc on les persones es movien amb pressa entre reunions i taules compartides.En: It was a spacious area with large windows that let in plenty of natural light, a place where people moved quickly between meetings and shared desks.Ca: Júlia, estudiant universitària diligent, tenia un objectiu clar: impressionar a la seva supervisora, Laia.En: Júlia, a diligent university student, had a clear goal: to impress her supervisor, Laia.Ca: Laia era coneguda per ser exigent però justa, i Júlia desitjava més que res obtenir una bona recomanació o, amb sort, una oferta de treball per després de graduar-se.En: Laia was known for being demanding but fair, and Júlia wanted nothing more than to receive a good recommendation or, with luck, a job offer after graduating.Ca: Però, des de l'inici, va sentir que les expectatives eren altes.En: However, from the start, she felt that the expectations were high.Ca: Un altre becari, Pau, semblava tenir facilitat per tot.En: Another intern, Pau, seemed to have a knack for everything.Ca: Sempre acabava les tasques amb rapidesa i confiança, mentre que Júlia sovint es trobava atrapada entre documents i terminis.En: He always finished tasks quickly and confidently, while Júlia often found herself trapped between documents and deadlines.Ca: Aquesta situació la feia dubtar de les seves pròpies capacitats.En: This situation made her doubt her own abilities.Ca: Decidida a no rendir-se, Júlia va començar a quedar-se fins tard a l'oficina.En: Determined not to give up, Júlia began staying late at the office.Ca: Va treballar en un projecte exigent, revisant cada detall amb meticulositat.En: She worked on a demanding project, meticulously reviewing every detail.Ca: Però hi havia un moment en què necessitava ajuda.En: But there came a time when she needed help.Ca: Amb un cor bategant ràpidament per l'ansietat, Júlia va decidir demanar-li consell a Pau.En: With a heart beating rapidly from anxiety, Júlia decided to ask Pau for advice.Ca: Tot i el seu recel inicial, Pau es va mostrar sorprenentment obert i va compartir algunes estratègies que l'ajudaven a organitzar-se millor.En: Despite her initial reluctance, Pau was surprisingly open and shared some strategies that helped him organize better.Ca: Amb el temps, va arribar el dia d'una presentació important davant de tot l'equip.En: In time, the day of an important presentation in front of the entire team arrived.Ca: Júlia es va preparar amb molta cura.En: Júlia prepared herself very carefully.Ca: Quan va ser el seu torn, va exposar la seva investigació i propostes amb claredat i creativitat.En: When it was her turn, she presented her research and proposals with clarity and creativity.Ca: Laia, així com altres membres de l'equip, van quedar impressionats.En: Laia, as well as other team members, were impressed.Ca: Tanmateix, en un gir inesperat, Pau va cometre errors durant la seva presentació.En: However, in an unexpected twist, Pau made mistakes during his presentation.Ca: Va ser llavors quan es va fer evident que la seva aparent confiança amagava inseguretats.En: It was then that it became clear that his apparent confidence hid insecurities.Ca: Després de la sessió, Laia va dedicar unes paraules a Júlia, lloant el seu treball dur i el seu talent.En: After the session, Laia dedicated a few words to Júlia, praising her hard work and talent.Ca: Li va prometre recomanacions per a futures oportunitats laborals.En: She promised her recommendations for future job opportunities.Ca: Pau, d'altra banda, va entendre que no sempre podia fer-ho tot sol i va acceptar un projecte menys crític, valorant la importància del treball en equip.En: Pau, on the other hand, realized that he couldn't always do everything alone and accepted a less critical project, appreciating the importance of teamwork.Ca: A mesura que l'estiu arribava al seu final, Júlia havia guanyat confiança en les seves capacitats i havia après el valor de demanar ajuda quan era necessari.En: As the summer came to a close, Júlia had gained confidence in her abilities and had learned the value of asking for help when needed.Ca: Pau va començar a reconèixer els seus temors i va adoptar un enfocament més col·laboratiu.En: Pau began to recognize his fears and adopted a more collaborative approach.Ca: Aquell estiu a l'oficina va ser un temps de creixement i aprenentatge per a tots dos.En: That summer in the office was a time of growth and learning for both of them.

In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, we explore how the way we parent shapes a child's nervous system, emotional regulation, self esteem, and future relationships. Using the concept of **Control Dramas**, inspired by *The Celestine Prophecy* and expanded through modern psychology, attachment theory, and real world coaching experience, we break down the hidden parenting patterns that quietly influence children for decades. We cover the original four Control Dramas, the Intimidator, Interrogator, Aloof, and Poor Me parent, along with five additional parenting patterns we believe deserve attention, including the Rescuer, Charmer, Gaslighter, Competitor, and Perfectionist.Whether you're raising young children, healing from your own childhood, or trying to become a more emotionally healthy parent, this conversation will help you recognize unconscious family dynamics before they become generational patterns. We discuss attachment styles, nervous system development, emotional safety, trauma, parenting mistakes, emotional intelligence, and practical ways to break unhealthy cycles while building stronger relationships with your children. If you're interested in parenting, psychology, self improvement, personal development, emotional healing, or creating a healthier family, this episode will give you powerful insights that can change the way you see both yourself and your role as a parent.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

"The assumption of swift trust is really useful."Teams don't always need years to build trust—they need the right conditions to build it quickly. As a Stanford professor and expert in organizational design, Melissa Valentine studies how communication, team structure, and emerging technologies help people collaborate more effectively. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Valentine joins Matt Abrahams to explore how leaders can foster swift trust, adapt communication as teams move from brainstorming to execution, and use storytelling to drive meaningful change. Together, they share practical strategies for building stronger teams and navigating collaboration in an AI-enabled workplace.Key Takeaways:Build trust from the start. High-performing teams assume competence, communicate openly, and address miscommunication quickly.Adapt your communication to the task. Encourage diverse thinking during brainstorming, then align your language as the team moves toward execution.Activity:Practice swift trust. In your next project with a new colleague or team, begin by assuming competence and shared intent. Delegate one meaningful responsibility early, communicate clear expectations, and reflect afterward on how starting from trust influenced the team's collaboration and results.Episode Reference Links:Melissa ValentineMelissa's Book: Flash TeamsEp.241 Team Spirit: How to Make Group Work WorkEp.268 Going Viral: How To Balance Authenticity and Spectacle 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 (00:57) - What Makes a Flash Team?
