Dan Driscoll made history earlier this year when, at 38, he was sworn in as the youngest Army secretary in U.S. history. And he just made news again this week when he became the highest-level Trump administration official to visit Kyiv for the White House's secret peace talks in effort to end Russia's war on Ukraine. Driscoll joined high-level talks with Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as news broke about a potential peace deal on the horizon. Driscoll is a veteran of the Iraq War, and as a result, has felt the effects of Pentagon decisions firsthand. He's set out to reshape the U.S. Army and the Pentagon into an agile institution that can make better use of existing resources and channel the best practices of the private sector. “When you are creating defensive and offensive solutions, you have to think even 10 years out when the war really gets to its most catastrophic moment, ‘What are the very basic tools of warfare that can't be impacted by the enemy,” Driscoll said. In this week's episode of The Conversation, Driscoll sits down with POLITICO's Dasha Burns to delve into the future of warfare, his plans for reinvigorating the Army's technology and the innovation spurred by conflict. “I think the best guess is if the United States entered a conflict with a peer in a couple of years, it would be a hybrid war where nearly every human being on the battlefield would be empowered and enabled with a digital tool,” Driscoll said. “I think we believe every infantryman in the United States Army will carry a drone with them into battle.” CNN "NewsNight" host Abby Phillip also joined Dasha to chat about her new book, “A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power,” Jackson's influence on today's political landscape and Phillip's approach to her own roundtable show.

AI Startup Funding Models Gerry Hays, a professor of venture capital with 21 years of experience and a history of investing in 75 startups, discussed his work in supporting founders to create AI-focused startups through a grant-based funding model. He explained their "Venture Staking" system, which allows individuals to invest small amounts of money in startups early on, with the potential to earn 10x returns if the company succeeds. Michael shared his experience working in IT during the dot-com era and emphasized the importance of accessible funding for new businesses, highlighting how Gerry's approach provides an alternative to traditional VC funding by building a community of potential investors. Community-Driven Investment Transformations Michael and Gerry discussed the transformative power of community-driven investing, emphasizing its potential to foster genuine interest and engagement in ventures beyond mere financial returns. Michael highlighted how such investments create a sense of belonging and collaboration, comparing it to cheering for a team, while Gerry stressed the future importance of community and networks in startups, contrasting them with easily replicable software. They agreed that early participation in ventures offers significant advantages, including learning opportunities and potential financial gains, as well as the chance to be part of a community that drives innovation and growth. Alternative Investments: Volatility and Returns Michael discussed the high volatility and potential for significant returns in alternative investment platforms, contrasting them with traditional stock markets where 52% of Fortune 500 companies from 2000 have since disappeared. He emphasized the transformative nature of current market shifts and the importance of active engagement in investments, which fosters community and deeper research. Michael highlighted how such platforms encourage users to delve into detailed analysis, unlike the surface-level engagement often seen on social media. AI and Entrepreneurship Growth Strategies Michael and Gerry discussed the value of experience in entrepreneurship and the importance of regular updates to investors for accountability. They highlighted how AI, like previous tools like the internet, can enhance business operations but should be used as a tool rather than a replacement for human expertise. Gerry emphasized the potential for small investments in innovative businesses to grow significantly, citing the rise of no-code tools and AI as enablers of this transformation. Adapting to Startup Challenges Michael and Gerry discussed the importance of adaptability and risk-taking in the startup world, using examples like Pets.com and Comscore Networks to illustrate the challenges and opportunities faced by early-stage companies. Gerry explained the unique features of Dorio.com, a platform that allows non-accredited investors to test the waters and gain insights into startups before making larger investments. They emphasized the value of calculated risk-taking and the platform's ability to make venture capital more accessible to a wider audience. Michael encouraged listeners to explore Dorio.com as a potential holiday gift or investment opportunity.   About Gerry Hays Gerry Hays is redefining how startups are funded—and who gets to participate. As the founder of Doriot and the creator of VentureStaking™, a patent-pending investment model, Gerry is challenging the traditional venture capital system and opening the door for everyday people to invest in high-growth startups—without needing to write a five-figure check or place risky early bets. With more than 25 years of experience as a serial founder and startup investor, Gerry has successfully launched, scaled, and exited multiple companies. He's taught entrepreneurial finance and venture capital at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, where he mentored hundreds of emerging founders across the globe. Gerry is also the author of the 5-star-rated book, The First-Time Founder's Equity Bible, a practical guide that demystifies equity structures and funding for new entrepreneurs. He created Fantasy Startup®, the world's #1 startup investing simulation with over 14,000 downloads. And in his push to democratize access to private markets, he developed the QAI (Qualified Accredited Investor) Certification, empowering non-traditional investors to confidently and knowledgeably enter the world of private equity. But Gerry's mission goes far beyond credentials. Through Doriot and the VentureStaking™ model, he's flipping the script on startup investing. Instead of gambling early like traditional angels or waiting for IPO access on Wall Street, investors can now earn the option to invest in startups once they've begun to succeed—radically lowering risk and broadening participation. This isn't crowdfunding. It's a smarter, more inclusive, and capital-efficient way to back innovation—and benefit from it. What your audience will take away: How to begin startup investing with as little as $10 Why VentureStaking™ may be the most game-changing asset class since crypto How access to private markets is being reimagined for the 99% What it really means to own equity in the next unicorn—before Silicon Valley gets in If your show dives into entrepreneurship, disruption, financial empowerment, or emerging investment trends, Gerry Hays will bring bold, practical insights—and a roadmap for how your audience can take a real stake in the future.

Dr. Paxton Bach has spent years trying to help people navigate a broken system. Inconsistent approaches to withdrawal management, long wait times for detox and recovery programs and a system that struggles to address the social determinants of health have caused too many of his patients to fall through the cracks. So he and a team at St. Paul's Hospital in downtown Vancouver are trailblazing a new model of care that's set to roll out across B.C. It's called Road to Recovery, and it's helping doctors like Bach answer the question: How can I keep you alive until tomorrow?

On today's episode, we sit down with Sarah Kearney, Executive Director of Blue Zones Project Scottsdale, and Todd LaPorte, CEO of HonorHealth, to explore how Scottsdale is taking bold steps toward becoming a longer-living, more connected, and more vibrant community. Website: bluezonesprojectscottsdale.com    Instagram: bzpscottsdale   BACK STORY With more than 35 years of diverse healthcare experience, Todd LaPorte leads an integrated health system with nine acute-care hospitals, numerous outpatient facilities, a research institute, and various community services impacting social determinants of health and military preparedness. HonorHealth is one of Arizona's largest employers, with a presence throughout much of the growing Phoenix metropolitan area. Since joining HonorHealth in 2001, Todd has held executive roles in which he focused on financial and strategic leadership. He has shaped a system with many access points to provide convenient, high quality care for patients, and with an ability to coordinate care efficiently and effectively. HonorHealth governs with its medical staff one of the country's highest performing ACOs in the country. For most of his twenty years at HonorHealth, Todd served as the CFO. In April 2017, he became the 10th CEO in more than 150 years of its legacy firm history. Before joining HonorHealth, Todd held senior management roles for an international CPA firm that served Arizona healthcare clients, as well as clients in high-tech manufacturing and consumer services. He was also the CFO of a privately held healthcare company that served more than a half million Arizonans. Todd is the current board chair for the Health System Alliance of Arizona, an association of the five largest healthcare systems throughout the State. He is a member of Greater Phoenix Leadership (a CEO advocacy group) and is a board member of Experience Scottsdale (a visitor's bureau). He speaks frequently to Arizona State University MBA classes and community service organizations throughout the Valley of the Sun. Todd was named CFO of the Year by the Arizona chapter of the Financial Executives International in 2012 and was recognized by Becker's Hospital Review as one of the "125 Hospital and Health System CFOs to Know" in 2013. Todd has served as board chair for a chapter of Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the nationally acclaimed Scottsdale Aquatic Club and the Paradise Valley School District's supporting Foundation for Public Education. He holds a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Arizona and an MBA from Arizona State University. His four daughters all swam competitively at four different D-1 schools, so his college sweatshirt collection is quite confusing.     Sarah Kearney leads Blue Zones Project Scottsdale as the Executive Director. Her leadership experience is diverse and rooted in community well-being, service, and forward-thinking optimism. She most recently worked for Experience Scottsdale, whose mission is to enhance the Scottsdale community through tourism. In Sarah's 16+ year tenure at the organization, she held several leadership roles and specialized in worldwide leisure sales, partner development strategy, membership and community engagement, program development, and more. Driven by her passion for the Scottsdale community, Sarah has served, led, and guided several local organizations, leaving a cross-sector imprint. She has served as the Board President for Scottsdale Leadership, the Board President for Community Celebrating Diversity, a Board Member for Scottsdale Sister Cities, the Officer of Membership for Millennials in Travel, and the Vice President of Community Outreach at GiGi's Playhouse Phoenix/Scottsdale. Sarah holds an MBA from the University of Phoenix and a B.A. in Communication from Arizona State University. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, reading, sports and spending time in the Scottsdale sunshine. She is a proud wife and hockey, dance, and dog mom to her two children and golden retriever.   SUBSCRIBE TO ICONIC HOUR If you enjoyed today's podcast, I'd be so appreciative if you'd take two minutes to subscribe, rate and review ICONIC HOUR.

From eight team members with one vision to 700 young adults gathering every Tuesday night, this episode reveals how faith, culture, and authenticity sparked a movement across the islands. Pastor Mike Kai, along with Bekah and Elijah, breaks down what it takes to build revival from the ground up and why it's not hype, it's alignment. This week on the Pound for Pound Podcast, get a powerful, behind-the-scenes conversation about one of the most exciting spiritual movements happening in Hawaii today. What began as a small group of committed young adults has quickly multiplied into more than 700 gathering every Tuesday night across multiple campuses. In this episode, the three unpack the heart, structure, and spiritual alignment behind the revival stirring in the islands. They discuss the early days, the intentional discipleship system, the courage to have hard conversations, and how vulnerability—paired with vision—has created a culture where young adults feel seen, known, and hungry for God. Pastor Mike also dives into the importance of spiritual covering, senior leadership endorsement, and stewarding momentum without falling into hype. Bekah and Elijah share practical insights for any ministry or leader dreaming of reaching the next generation. This episode is part testimony, part blueprint, and all inspiration. ____________________________ 00:00 — Pastor Mike opens the episode, introduces the new Aloha & Amen brand, and shares about his latest book Blow Your Mind, centered on transforming your thoughts to transform your life. 01:04 — Introduction of Bekah and Elijah and the topic: the rise of Inspire Church's young adult ministry, now averaging 700 every Tuesday. 02:51 — Elijah shares how the movement has spread—mainly through social media, their Dream Team, and prioritizing discipleship, relatability, and vulnerability. 04:09 — Bekah explains that what's happening is undeniably a move of God. Other ministries have even reached out to ask what they're doing differently. Her answer: you need a strong team—you can't do it alone. 05:20 — Vision alignment: the original team of eight shared the same burning desire. They implemented discipleship, identified strengths, and embraced vulnerability—something many young adults deeply relate to. 07:49 — Elijah shares on alignment and how the core team is unified around seeing young adults transformed. 09:00 — Bekah talks about teaching every new leader Inspire Church's culture and vision. Weekly team rally happens one hour before service to keep everyone aligned. 11:25 — Bekah mentions their current team read, Undercover by John Bevere, to help leaders shepherd those under their care. 11:57 — Elijah reflects on tough early conversations that sharpened his leadership—and how Bekah excels in navigating them. 13:25 — Advice to other ministries: Build a solid team first. Use social media strategically. And pastors should publicly endorse the young adult ministry. 17:30 — The need for spiritual fathers and mothers who champion and guide young leaders. 19:11 — Pastor Mike values bringing people who already carry the fire. Shares the analogy: "It's easier to steer a moving car than push a parked one." 22:01 — Bekah shares her dream: a revival at UH Mānoa—specifically in the baseball stadium.

The November 19 edition of the AgNet News Hour delivered one of the most insightful tech-focused interviews of the season as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Steven Pistoresi, General Manager of On-Farm Solutions for Semios. What followed was a deep dive into pest control, water management, automation, and how Semios' suite of products is helping growers tackle today's toughest challenges while preparing for tomorrow. Pistoresi, a familiar name to Valley sports fans from his standout baseball days at San Joaquin Memorial and Cal Berkeley, has taken his competitive drive straight into ag innovation. He told listeners that Semios' mission is simple: make farming more predictable, more profitable, and more sustainable using real-time data and smart automation. Semios, which manages over 100 million acres globally across its family of brands, is best known on the West Coast for its mating disruption technology—a pheromone-based system that prevents pests like navel orangeworm, vine mealybug, California red scale, and codling moth from reproducing. “It's exactly what it sounds like,” Pistoresi said with a laugh. “We make it very hard for the pests to find each other. It's sustainable, effective, and it reduces chemical reliance.” Each orchard or vineyard receives one emitter per acre, installed and serviced by Semios' own field team. “Growers don't have to do a thing,” Pistoresi said. “We handle installation, mapping, monitoring, and maintenance. It gives growers peace of mind and removes labor headaches.” Beyond pest control, Semios is now a full-stack on-farm technology company through partnerships with brands like WiseConn, Agworld, Alltrack, and Greenbook. Weather stations, soil moisture probes, irrigation automation, frost control tools, and pest monitoring all feed into the Semios platform, giving growers a complete real-time view of their fields. “You can sit in your truck and run your entire irrigation system from your phone,” Pistoresi said. “We're giving growers the ability to use water more efficiently, reduce labor, and make decisions based on live data instead of guesswork.” Nick and Josh noted how dramatically farming has changed since Pistoresi's grandfather grew mushrooms in the Valley. “You can't farm like grandpa did,” Pistoresi agreed. “There's too much at stake now—water shortages, labor costs, environmental rules. Today's farmer has to be smarter, faster, and more innovative.” What makes Semios stand out, he said, is its people. “Our field team takes pride in their work. Everything we install—every emitter, every sensor—affects a real family farm. We know that.” He encouraged growers curious about cutting costs, improving sustainability, or upgrading their technology to reach out. “We love talking to growers. Even if you're not sure what you need, we'll help you figure it out,” he said. The interview wrapped with Papagni praising the Semios team. “Every time we see them at shows, everyone is smiling. That tells you everything you need to know.” Pistoresi laughed, saying, “We just love what we do. Agriculture is who we are. Helping growers succeed is the whole point.”

Who invents these things? and what experience do they have that gets them to the point that they can invent these things?  Entrepreneurs are a crafty bunch. They dream. They test themselves. They switch gears on the fly. So goes the story of Greg Lambrecht, the inventor of the Coravin wine preservation and dispensing system. You have to believe the story, though it seems unbelievable, because it is true. Imagine a podcast where invention, passion, and the enduring mystique of wine come together—where stories of ingenuity inspire new perspectives on the familiar rituals of sharing a bottle. Welcome to Wine Talks, and in this special episode, we sit down with none other than Greg Lambrecht: medical device inventor, Chairman, and founder of Coravin, the revolutionary wine preservation system that's changed the way we taste and savor the world's finest bottles. Our journey begins not in a vineyard, but deep inside the world of plasma physics, where a young Greg Lambrecht first dreamed of fusion reactors before pivoting toward medicine and, ultimately, the creative crossroads that would see him transform both fields. It's the kind of path mapped by an insatiable curiosity, a "ferocity of purpose"—as Greg Lambrecht puts it—that won't let go until a solution is found. Whether protecting healthcare workers with safer needles or opening doors to rare wines without ever pulling a cork, Greg Lambrecht's inventions answer needs no one thought to ask out loud. What sets this conversation apart isn't just its recounting of triumphs over glass and grape, but the philosophy animating Greg Lambrecht's work. He believes wine's true essence lies not in luxury, but in experience: its power to bring people together, its infinite variety ripe for exploration, its uncanny knack for weaving memory and flavor into moments we'll never forget. Wine, as he reminds us, is the "most social beverage," a thread running through history that binds strangers and friends alike. Threaded throughout the episode is an unyielding optimism: that even as wine faces cycles of challenge—from shifting tastes to industry headwinds—it will endure, because what it offers is elemental and unchanging. Imbued with the joy of discovery and a respect for craftsmanship, this episode doesn't just trace the arc of an inventor's career; it champions a deeper message. Innovation and tradition aren't adversaries, but partners that keep the world of wine vital and surprising for the generations yet to come. So pour a glass, settle in, and let this episode remind you that sometimes, the best stories—and the best bottles—are those we share together, with curiosity and an open mind. The future of wine, it turns out, is a journey made one meaningful sip at a time.     #WineTalksPodcast #GregLambrecht #PaulKalemkiarian #Coravin #WineInnovation #WinePreservation #Entrepreneurship #WineIndustry #WineByTheGlass #WineDiscovery #WineExperience #MedicalDevices #WineCulture #WineTasting #WineTechnology #ChampagnePreservation #WineMemories #Sommelier #WineEducation #WineCommunity

It's the BMJ's annual climate issue - and in this episode, we'll be hearing about more ways in which climate mitigation is good for health.   Firstly, climate change is fuelling conflict, and exacerbating the impact it has on fragile healthcare systems. Andy Haines, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Barbora Sedova, from Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, discuss how climate and conflict intersect, and what they think needs to be done to combat it.   “Car spreading”, the recent tendency for cars to become bigger and heavier is not only harming the climate, but it's also harming pedestrians.  Anthony Laverty, associate professor of public health at Imperial College London, and trauma surgeon Cleo Kenington explain why SUVs are more lethal in accidents, and why France is bucking the trend in sales.   Finally, Jocalyn Clark, the BMJ's international editor joins us to talk about women's health innovation and why tech bros aren't the people to be leading it.   Reading list:   The climate issue: Brazil and the climate crisis   Tackling the complex links between climate change, conflict, and health   Reducing the harms from ever larger cars   Transforming women's health through innovation

In this episode, Antonio explores the complex biology of thyroid hormone production, conversion, and regulation—highlighting how deiodinase enzymes modulate hormone activity at the tissue level and why that matters for interpreting lab results. He discusses the shortcomings of relying solely on TSH as a marker of thyroid function, the ongoing debate around combination therapy with T3 and T4 versus standard T4 treatment, and how genetics, tissue sensitivity, and individual variability influence thyroid hormone metabolism. The conversation also examines how hypothyroidism affects energy, mood, cognition, and longevity; why some patients remain symptomatic despite "normal" labs; and how future research could reshape treatment paradigms. We discuss: How the thyroid produces, stores, and activates hormones like T4 and T3 to finely regulate thyroid activity [2:45]; How fasting alters thyroid hormones to conserve energy [12:45]; Action of the deiodinases: how D1, D2, and D3 enzymes control the activation and inactivation of thyroid hormones [19:15]; The normal function of thyroid hormone and the roles of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and deiodinases in maintaining hormonal balance [23:30]; Why understanding thyroid physiology is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism [33:45]; Testing for thyroid hormones: understanding free vs. total levels, the limitations of current T3 assays, best practices, and more [36:00]; Genetic and sex-based variability in thyroid hormone regulation and their limited clinical significance [43:45]; Hyperthyroidism: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options [46:00]; Hypothyroidism: diagnosis and autoimmune causes of hypothyroidism [56:30]; More on hypothyroidism: diagnostic biomarkers, antibody patterns, and non-autoimmune presentations [1:05:00]; Thyroid hormone replacement therapy [1:15:15]; More on thyroid replacement strategies: exploring the evidence gaps, mortality signals, effects on lipids, and more [1:28:00]; Hypothyroidism basics: causes, antibody implications (including pregnancy), and how to make the diagnosis before choosing therapy [1:35:15]; Thyroid medication: compounded controlled-release T3, brand name versus generic, and what Antonio prescribes to newly diagnosed hypothyroid patients [1:42:45]; Redefining treatment success: why normalizing TSH isn't always enough for patients with hypothyroidism [1:54:45]; Case studies: analysis of two unusual cases of thyroid disease [1:57:00]; Dangers of supplementing with high levels of iodine, and female-specific risk of thyroid disease [2:05:45]; Case study of a patient who presents with elevated TSH but no symptoms [2:09:30]; How future research could reshape treatment, and Antonio's new book called "Rethinking Hypothyroidism" [2:13:15]; and More.

In this episode, Hallie Bulkin welcomes special guest Dr. Anita Gouri, a board-certified pediatric dentist, to dive deep into the critical, often-missed connection between pediatric dentistry and a child's overall airway health and development.Dr. Gouri shares her personal journey into airway and tissue-focused dentistry, motivated by her own daughter's and nephew's feeding and developmental challenges due to undiagnosed tongue ties. They emphasize the absolute necessity of a multidisciplinary approach, stressing that therapy (SLP, OT, IBCLC, etc.) is optimal before and after a tongue tie release for the best outcomes and to avoid reattachment or unresolved symptoms. The conversation extends to older children, discussing the importance of an airway evaluation before prescribing ADHD medications and the dramatic life-changing results of early palatal expansion to open the airway.In this episode, you'll learn:✔️ Dr. Gouri's personal experience discovering her daughter's tongue tie at age 7, long after dealing with feeding issues, colic, and difficulty eating non-pureed foods. ✔️ Why pre- and post-operative therapy (like with an SLP, OT, or IBCLC) is 100% crucial for optimal outcomes following a tongue tie release. ✔️ The importance of getting an airway evaluation before putting children on ADHD medication. ✔️ Key signs of pediatric airway issues during sleep, including mouth breathing , tossing/turning/restless sleep , and the often-missed red flag of hyperextension of the neck. ✔️ The dramatic benefits of early palatal expansion (as early as 3 or 4 years old) to open the airway, often resolving issues like chronic infections (like croup) and snoring , even if the child does not have a crossbite. ✔️ How simple strategies like sleep hygiene (removing dust mite harbingers like stuffed animals and blankets) and dietary changes (like kicking gluten) can reduce inflammation and improve breathing. ✔️ Why a "quick snip" of a tongue tie may not address the entire posterior tie, which can lead to later issues like speech problems.RELATED EPISODES YOU MIGHT LOVEEp 219: Rapid Palatal Expansion for Airway Clearance and Mia's Airway JourneyEp 333: Transforming airway health & smiles with MARPE featuring Dr. Svitlana Koval, DMD, MSc, BDSOTHER WAYS TO CONNECT & LEARN
