It's time for our annual Fourth of July grill episode here at Decoder, which is when we invite the CEOs of outdoor cooking companies onto the show to explain just how their businesses kind of look like every other business. And this is a very special edition. Today we're talking to Roger Dahle, the CEO of Weber Blackstone, a full circle moment for Decoder. Roger was our first-ever grill CEO on the show back when he was the CEO of just Blackstone. Five years later, Roger now runs one of his biggest competitors, after Blackstone announced a merger with Weber in 2024. So we talked about that process, and how Roger is managing the integration of these two grilling giants.

Listen to Ballet Help Desk ad-free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BalletHelpDesk Riley Weber is back on the podcast. Since leaving a corporate dance brand job, Riley has been speaking more openly about how the influencer side of the dance industry actually works. In this episode, we talk about how influencer income works, from per view payouts to brand collabs, and what actually happens behind the scenes of a sponsored post. We also talk about brand ambassadorships for dance students. What it means when a brand sends a 12 year old free leotards in exchange for content, who benefits from that arrangement, and what it can do to a child's sense of self worth when it gets tied to follower counts and engagement. If you have ever wondered whether your dancer should pursue a brand deal, or whether a large following actually helps with getting hired by a company, this episode covers it.

Jonathan Weber joins Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty to explain how San Francisco became the proving ground for the forces reshaping American politics, business, and culture. Drawing from his new book, City on the Edge, Weber traces the rise of the tech billionaires who transformed the city, why so many Silicon Valley power players embraced Donald Trump, and how figures like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi emerged from the same political and economic ecosystem. He also reveals what San Francisco's battles over AI, housing, wealth, and political power tell us about the future of the country—and why the city's next chapter could preview what's coming for every American.

Journalist Jonathan Weber has had a front row seat to San Francisco's many rises and falls as the nation's tech capital since the early 1990s. His new book, “City on the Edge” offers a sweeping history of the tech industry in San Francisco, chronicling its unprecedented successes as well as its devastating consequences. Drawing on 200 interviews with mayors, CEOs, political leaders, activists, entrepreneurs, and artists, Weber tells the story of a war waged for the heart of San Francisco that has had an impact far beyond the city's famed Golden Gates.

Jonathan Weber, a longtime San Francisco journalist, is the author of the new history "City on the Edge: Technology, Politics, and the Fight for the Soul of San Francisco." He explains how the internet took root in the city, how local politics transformed as tech grew from 2% of jobs to 35%, and how the artificial intelligence wave has finally made the industry indigenous to San Francisco. He worries the wealth is turning a misfit city into a money town.
Many practice owners assume team growth is a hiring problem when it is often a certainty and systems problem first. Dr. Lona and Dr. Denise Weber explore what gets overlooked when building a practice that can grow beyond the doctor, including the mental shifts required to attract strong team members, the role of infrastructure in maintaining standards, the importance of knowing your numbers, and why team buy-in follows leadership clarity. They discuss how uncertainty at the leadership level creates uncertainty throughout the practice, how systems reduce dependence on individual personalities, and why valuing your care appropriately impacts both patient commitment and team confidence. When leaders build conviction, communicate a clear vision, and create systems that support consistency, stronger teams, better decisions, and sustainable growth become possible. Key Highlights 01:07 – The internal question many practice owners avoid before building a stronger team. 04:06 – Why attracting great people has less to do with hiring tactics and more to do with who the leader becomes. 05:33 – The difference between relying on people to hold standards and creating systems that make standards sustainable. 06:29 – What team onboarding has in common with patient care plans and progress exams. 08:23 – Why certainty from the leader often determines the confidence level of the entire team. 10:10 – How preparation creates buy-in when a practice is moving into a new season of growth. 11:51 – The surprising distinction between needing more effort and needing more buy-in. 12:28 – What practice numbers reveal that intuition alone cannot. 13:35 – Why some doctors avoid metrics and what changes when they finally embrace them. 18:10 – The connection between valuing your care, team confidence, and patient commitment. 22:43 - Dr. Chris is joined by Success Partner, Dr. David Fletcher of CLA to explore how neurocentric scanning technology transforms chiropractic communication and practice growth. They discuss using objective nervous system data to improve retention, scale with team leverage, increase PVA, and strengthen certainty in care planning. CLA's technology enhances attraction, conversion, collections, and long-term scalability.

Als Donald Trump erneut gewählt wurde, postete die Ökonomin Isabella Weber auf X (ehemals Twitter): "Can we now finally have a serious conversation about an anti-fascist economics?". Dieser Post ging viral. Während Weber erst im Oktober bei Suhrkamp ihr Buch zur antifaschistischen Wirtschaftspolitik vorlegt, sind bereits diverse Artikel zum Thema erschienen. Unter anderem auch der Gesprächsband "der verdrängte Kapitalismus" aus dem Hause Dietz. Anlass für diese Folge des Arbeitswelt-Podcast war das Interview von Sabine mit Antonella Muzzupappa, die ihre Kritik an der antifaschistischen Wirtschaftspolitik vorstellt.
Wie gelingt der Wiedereinstieg ins Triathlontraining nach der Geburt, ohne den Körper zu überfordern und sich vom Gedanken an die alte Form unter Druck setzen zu lassen? In Teil 2 spricht Team-Managerin Jule Bartsch mit Prä- und Postnatal-Coach Ann-Katrin Weber darüber, warum die ersten Wochen nach der Geburt vor allem eine Phase der Wiederherstellung sind und weshalb Rückbildung nicht bedeutet, möglichst schnell wieder dort anzukommen, wo man vor der Schwangerschaft war. Es geht um den behutsamen Aufbau von Belastbarkeit, um Körpergefühl, Energiehaushalt und die Herausforderung, Training in einen komplett veränderten Alltag zu integrieren. Ann-Katrin erklärt, wann erste Bewegung sinnvoll sein kann, warum kleine Einheiten oft mehr bewirken als große Pläne und wie Triathletinnen Schritt für Schritt zurück zu Schwimmen, Radfahren und Laufen finden.

In this episode, we talk with Dallas Mavericks reporter Noah Weber about the NBA Draft with less than two weeks before the draft.
“The same creative and political forces that gave rise to [San Francisco's] boom nearly engineered its collapse.” — Jonathan Weber In Hitchcock's Vertigo, the quintessential San Francisco movie, the villain points to an old painting of the city and tells Jimmy Stewart that San Francisco has changed. The real city has been lost, he says. Somebody has stolen San Francisco's soul. The veteran tech journalist Jonathan Weber is the latest writer to search for that soul. In City on the Edge: Technology, Politics, and the Fight for the Soul of San Francisco, Weber bemoans the disappearance of the real San Francisco — the city not just of the Beats and the Counterculture but also of ordinary teachers and policemen. We've had thirty years of boom, bust, and Big Tech. The ordinary folks of San Francisco have been replaced by a new class of tech bros. In 1992, just 2% of San Franciscans worked in tech. By 2019 it was 35%. As a longtime San Franciscan, Weber had a front-row seat on the dot-com mania, the rise of social media, Uber and Airbnb, the pandemic's great emptying of downtown, and now the AI boom driven by the San Francisco-based Anthropic and OpenAI. In City on the Edge, Weber argues that the same creative and political forces that gave rise to the boom — the counterculture's anarchic spirit, the city's love affair with eccentricity, the tech industry's utopian self-belief — also engineered its near-collapse. Digital vertigo, so to speak. Once again somebody has stolen San Francisco's soul. Five Takeaways • From 2% to 35%: The Numbers Behind the Transformation: In 1992, just 2% of San Francisco workers were in tech. By 2019 it was 35%. The book traces how this happened: a city economically troubled in the early 1990s, still reeling from AIDS and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, with its manufacturing base gone and its corporate headquarters thinning out. Into this vacuum came a group of free-thinking technologists immersed in the city's creative counterculture. They invented the contemporary internet. What followed was one of the most rapid urban transformations in American history. • The Cacophony Society and the Founding of Burning Man: Before the tech boom, San Francisco in the early 1990s had a remarkable underground culture. Weber writes about the Cacophony Society — the group of anarchic free spirits who effectively founded the Burning Man festival. The Cacophony Society emerged from the counterculture of the 1960s through various evolutions — Situationist pranks, urban exploration, radical creativity. Burning Man began as their annual trip to the Black Rock Desert. The spirit of that founding: go somewhere, build something, be someone different, leave no trace. That spirit was the soul of the city too. • The City of Nostalgia: Always Believing Yesterday Was Better: Weber takes his Vertigo reference seriously. San Francisco is structurally a city of nostalgia — people arrive with a fixed idea of what the city is, and it inevitably becomes something different. The gap between the idea and the reality generates permanent mourning. This is not unique to San Francisco — Trump has built a presidency on the idea that things were better in the 1950s — but it is intensified here by the height of the hopes people bring. The city means something bigger than itself. That is both its greatest asset and its permanent wound. • The AI Boom and the Coming IPO Earthquake: The current AI boom is, in Weber's reading, likely to be the largest yet. OpenAI and Anthropic are both based in the city. When those IPOs happen, San Francisco real estate — already rising 25–50% in some neighbourhoods, Andrew notes — will go, in Weber's words, “really, really crazy again.” Hundreds of thousands of millionaires will be created overnight. The city is gradually becoming uniformly wealthy. Some of the old tensions may be less intense for that reason. But Weber does not think the cycles are over. The current boom will bust, as all booms do. What comes next is the question. • Burning Man, the Internet, and the Future of Cities: Weber ends the book at Burning Man. His closing observation: when the internet arrived on the playa, Burning Man lost the sense that it was a separate world — a place where you could be a different person, because nothing from your regular life could reach you. Now everyone has a phone. The privacy is gone. The sense of separation is gone. For cities: part of the power of cities is that they bring people together, and good things arise from that friction. But if technology no longer requires you to be in the same place, cities become less essential. What is the future of the city in the age of technology? Weber doesn't have a tidy answer. Neither does anyone else.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to this episode of ‘For the Love of Chiropractic'. On this episode I got to sit down and speak with a man I have known and deeply respected for many years, Mr. Paul Weber, of the law firm Hyatt and Weber. Paul has prevailed for clients at local, state and federal trial and appellate court levels, as well as in arbitration and mediation forums. He has secured wins in numerous complex civil litigation cases, including a coverage dispute between two insurance companies involving a claim in excess of $70 million; complex million-dollar medical malpractice suits; and a high-profile coverage and liability action brought by a concert attendee who was severely injured when a fan dove into the audience from the venue's stage.Clients praise Paul for his hands-on service approach. He evaluates the merits of each case, discusses all available options, and stays engaged at every stage of the process – whether pursuing resolution through out-of-court negotiation or at trial. Drawing on his experience representing plaintiffs in personal injury and medical malpractice litigation, Paul frequently counsels medical professionals and businesses on litigation avoidance and insurance coverage strategies. He regularly presents seminars to chiropractors and offers practical, frank advice on ways to implement best-practice tactics designed to mitigate risk.I hope you enjoy my conversation with my dear friend and guest, Mr. Paul Weber.
In Part 2, we bring Max Weber's speech about Science as a Vocation to the present day and show that many of the same themes and concerns Weber express are still relevant. Modern technologies such as artificial intelligence may have changed academia in compelling ways, but the worthiness of scientific pursuit remains a valid concern.

What if the same brain states people spend years chasing through psychedelics could be accessed through meditation alone, and in as little as seven days? In this fascinating solo episode, Darin Olien explores groundbreaking new research from University of California San Diego, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and University of Montreal suggesting that meditation may produce brain patterns remarkably similar to those observed during psychedelic experiences. From the suppression of the default mode network and increases in neural complexity to neuroplasticity, endogenous opioids, and measurable biological changes in the bloodstream, Darin unpacks the science behind one of the most powerful, and completely free tools available to human beings. He also walks listeners through a practical seven-day protocol combining focused-attention meditation, Vipassana, breathwork, walking meditation, and loving-kindness practices designed to help cultivate greater awareness, emotional resilience, cognitive flexibility, and inner peace. What You'll Learn The groundbreaking UC San Diego meditation study and its surprising findings Why meditation may create brain states similar to psilocybin What the default mode network is and how it shapes everyday thinking How meditation may reduce rumination, anxiety, and self-referential thought The concept of brain criticality and cognitive flexibility Why post-meditation blood samples stimulated neuronal growth How meditation influences neuroplasticity and whole-body biology The differences between Samatha and Vipassana meditation What advanced monks are teaching scientists about

Meditation is not simply a relaxation practice—it appears to be a biological, neurological, and consciousness-altering intervention capable of reshaping the brain, changing the body, and transforming how we experience reality. The question is not whether the door exists. The question is whether we are willing to sit still long enough to walk through it."

Description: How do GLP-1 receptor agonists or GIP agonists work and what is the impact for my psoriatic disease? Hear dermatologist Dr. Ronald Prussick and cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber answer such questions and more. Join host Archie Franklin as he takes a deep dive into the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists and GIP agonists and the convergence of systemic inflammation related to psoriatic disease with renowned dermatologist and Vice Chair of the NPF Medical Board, Dr. Ronald Prussick from Washington Dermatology Center in Rockville and Frederick, MD, and, cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber, Director of the Cardio-Rheumatology/ Cardio-Dermatology Program at the University of Texas Southwestern. Learn more about the use of incretin hormones, the impact of weight management on psoriatic disease, metabolic and cardiovascular risk, as well as results from the TOGETHER-Pso and TOGETHER-PsA clinical trials. This episode addresses the actions of incretin hormones (GLP-1 receptor agonist and GIP agonist) and how such use may be beneficial in the management of inflammation related to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Thank you to Lilly for their support of this program activity. Timestamps: (0:00) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered & guest welcome dermatologist Dr. Ronald Prussick and cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber. (1:35) What are incretin hormones and how GLP-1 or GIP receptor agonists (RA) inhibit appetite to initiate weight loss. (3:29) Why GLP-1 RAs are of interest in the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (5:23) The metabolic, cardiovascular, and psoriatic disease convergence. (7:19) Will reduction of inflammation impact cardiovascular risk? (10:59) Treatment challenges associated with having psoriatic disease and being overweight or obese. (13:45) Key points around the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists when managing psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (17:06) Results of the TOGETHER-PsO and TOGETHER-PsA phase 3 clinical trials combining use of an IL-17 inhibitor and a GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy. (19:07) Having the conversation of adding a GLP-1 RA medication to a treatment regimen. (22:40) The paradigm shift of GLP-1 receptor agonists and the impact they can have on shared inflammatory pathways. Key Takeaways: · Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists are two incretin hormones that assist in managing excess body weight -- which as a result can be helpful in managing inflammation in the body. · Psoriasis isn't just a skin and joint disease. It's a complex network of systemic inflammation with shared inflammatory pathways that worsens with increased weight impacting the severity of the disease, and accelerates the risk of metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease. · The best outcomes occur as a result of multidisciplinary collaboration to address the impact of excess weight and systemic inflammation. If you are struggling to lose weight with diet and exercise, speak with your medical team about your options including the use of GLP-1 or GIP agonists. Guest Bios: Renowned dermatologist Ronald Prussick, M.D., Medical Director of the Washington Dermatology Center in Rockville and Fredrick, Maryland, specializes in the treatment of psoriasis along with other diseases of the skin, hair, and nails. Dr. Prussick is also a Clinical Associate Professor in Dermatology at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.. Dr. Prussick has a research interest in the impact of diet on psoriatic disease and metabolic health, first becoming interested after being involved in Dr. Joel Gelfand and Dr. Nehal Mehta's work in vascular inflammation trials using FDG-PET/CT scans to view systemic and cardiovascular inflammation associated with psoriatic disease. Dr. Prussick has since participated in the development of the 2018 Dietary Recommendations for Adults with Psoriasis or Psoriatic Arthritis and more recently the position statement "GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Psoriasis: A Primer from the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board". Dr. Prussick is Vice Chair of the NPF Medical Board which provides clinical direction, treatment guidance, and education oversight to the organization and its Executive leaders. Brittany Weber, M.D., Ph.D. is a cardio-immunologist who is the Director of the Cardio-Rheumatology/ Cardio-Dermatology Program at the University of Texas Southwestern. She is also a member of the Division of Cardiology, a clinical investigator, and imaging specialist. Dr. Weber's research integrates advanced imaging, molecular biology, clinical trials, and population health to understand how systemic inflammation and immune deregulation drives cardiovascular dysfunction. Prior to joining UT Southwestern in 2025, Dr. Weber served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and was the Director of the Cardio-Rheumatology Clinic at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a nationally recognized clinic addressing inflammation-related heart disease through collaborative, patient centered care.

Paris, 1945. Alors que la guerre vient tout juste de se terminer, un cadavre est découvert dans un hôtel borgne de Pigalle. L'assassin, arrêté sur les lieux, est un vagabond, dont la dernière adresse était le camp d'Auschwitz.L'homme qu'il a tué d'une balle dans la tête était un antiquaire véreux, un petit escroc sans envergure qui aurait été membre de « la Carlingue », la Gestapo française. C'est en tout cas ce que son assassin affirme. Mais rien ne le prouve, si ce n'est sa parole…L'affaire est confiée à Max Weber, un flic désabusé que sa hiérarchie pousse à classer l'affaire. Personne n'a envie que ce fait-divers ravive les blessures de la guerre. Personne sauf Weber, que cette cause perdue sort de sa torpeur. Il va creuser. Et ce qu'il va découvrir est au-delà de l'imaginable…L'Auteur, Gabriel Katz est notre invité par téléphoneHébergé par Audiomeans.

A huge plume of thick black smoke billowed around Davis and Weber counties yesterday, dropping ash around the region. It was part of a controlled burn to control invasive phragmites, but it wasn't alone – several fires started around the state over the long holiday weekend. And fire danger remains high today and through the rest of the week. KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson explains the ongoing fire danger and what a potential El Niño could do for Utah this summer.
