Cyra (a doctor and chartered accountant) hosts GP Dr Steve Taylor and specialist medical adviser Andy Pow to discuss UK general practice finances. They describe long-term underfunding, noting average practice income rose from £152 to £169 per patient since 2015 but would be ~£209 if it had tracked CPI, alongside rising workload and patients per GP (about 2,000 to 2,300). They explain circular funding changes, staffing pay pressures, the imposed contract, and concerns about advice-and-guidance replacing referrals without extra resource. Andy outlines how the Carr-Hill (global sum) weighting can mean some practices are paid for fewer patients (e.g., 83%), with a review pending that could redistribute money without new investment. They warn of practice closures, rural access issues, private providers buying contracts, low morale (99% contract rejection), and argue for additional funding, autonomy, and proper consultation on reforms.00:00 Welcome and Guests 02:04 Underfunding Explained 05:05 Contract Uplift Reality 09:04 Car Hill Formula Basics 13:21 Funding Streams and Workload 14:39 GP Workforce Paradox 17:02 Partnership Pressures 20:14 Trust and Investment Case 23:22 Closures and Private Providers 27:09 Morale and Central Impositions 30:25 Contract Positives 33:04 Final Thoughts and Thanks Want the latest financial tips for doctors and exclusive invites?Join 71,000 doctors here https://www.medicsmoney.co.uk/join-medics-money/ Want a free assessment of your finances?

A Justice of the Court of Appeal, Her Ladyship Justice Afia Serwaa Asare-Botwe, has called for constitutional and legislative reforms to allow certain categories of cases to end at the Court of Appeal, arguing that the move would significantly reduce the growing workload of the Supreme Court

Modelle wie die von OpenAI oder Anthropic werden zur Commodity. Wer ein bisschen wartet, bekommt die gleiche Qualität ohnehin von mehreren Anbietern. Was bleibt, ist die Architektur drumherum, der Harness. Oliver und Alois erklären, wie Unternehmen General-Purpose-Modelle mit Speicher, Prompts und Agenten so einbetten, dass ein verlässliches eigenes System entsteht. Für manche Startups ist das schon die neue Core IT der Firma.Ein Thema ist das Geschäftsmodell dahinter: günstige Einstiegszugänge für 100 bis 300 Dollar im Monat binden Early Adopter in Teams, bis am Ende die großen Enterprise-Tickets über die API laufen.Lizenzchaos als Symptom: Kontingente wechseln wöchentlich, Power User werden automatisch gedrosselt, SLAs sind kaum planbar. Was früher eine feste DSL-Leitung war, ist heute eine Blackbox mit wechselnder Durchsatzrate. Wer eine verlässliche Entwicklungsstrecke bauen will, baut sie momentan auf Treibsand.Für Oliver und Alois ist das ein Argument für Dezentralisierung: eigene On-Prem-Architekturen, eingefrorene Modelle für stabile Use Cases, das Frontier-Modell nur noch als Dispatcher. Gerade im Verteidigungssektor, mit verteilten Datenquellen und Sensorik, wird daraus ein hierarchischer oder asymmetrischer Harness aus Spezialmodellen.China im Vergleich: weniger Brute Force, mehr Smart Force, dazu eine Open-Source-Szene, die mit weniger Rechenleistung mehr rausholt. Für europäische Anwender sind chinesische und amerikanische Modelle inzwischen ähnlich compliant. Bei sensiblen Workloads bleibt trotzdem die eigene Infrastruktur die sicherere Wahl.Für den Einstieg raten beide zu fertigen Plattformlösungen mit fester Modellauswahl. Das senkt die Hürde und liefert schnell ein erstes Ergebnis. Je klarer der eigene Use Case wird und je mehr proprietäre Daten und Geschäftslogik einfließen, desto mehr lohnt sich der Wechsel zum eigenen Harness statt der fremden One-Click-Lösung.Fazit: Harnessing ist am Ende eine Make-or-Buy-Entscheidung. Die großen Anbieter liefern den Göffel, die Mischung aus Löffel und Gabel für fast alles. Wer sein eigenes Besteck zusammenstellt, tauscht die stumpfe Gabel gegen ein schärferes Werkzeug, sobald der Use Case es verlangt. Wenn du wissen willst, wie das geht, ist diese Folge für dich.

Companies are spending billions building AI factories, but most of them can't tell you why their AI workloads are failing, whether their GPUs are actually being used, or what their infrastructure is going to cost them when agents start running at scale. Paul Appleby, CEO of Virtana, joins Craig Smith to discuss the findings of their AI Factory Reality Check study, a research report that reveals a striking and underappreciated gap between the pace of AI infrastructure investment and the governance needed to run it safely and efficiently. Six in ten enterprises, the study found, cannot automatically identify root cause when an AI workload fails, a problem that compounds fast once you're running critical services on AI infrastructure at scale. The conversation covers the mechanics of Virtana's observability platform, capturing 20,000 metrics per second across the entire AI stack, correlating them in real time, and increasingly using agentic capabilities to remediate failures automatically, but its most important insights are structural. Appleby makes a sharp observation that cuts through a lot of AI optimism: token costs are falling, but token consumption is exploding, meaning the total cost of running agentic AI systems is still going up even as the per-unit price drops. He also tracks a cultural shift inside enterprises - IT resilience reporting that used to happen annually now happens weekly - as evidence that technology risk has become a board-level conversation in a way it simply wasn't before. The result is a conversation that's less about the promise of AI and more about what it actually takes to make it work at production scale.

With Arsenal preparing to defend their Premier League title, The NN Pod continues its 2026/27 season preview series by asking what now constitutes a successful season for Mikel Arteta's side — and whether winning the Champions League has become the club's final frontier.The hosts discuss expectations for Arsenal's playing style, the challenges posed by a shortened pre-season and the impact of the World Cup on several key players. With Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and others facing demanding workloads, the conversation turns to player management, squad depth and whether Arsenal can protect their biggest stars while remaining competitive from the opening weeks of the season.Attention then shifts to the opportunities available during pre-season, the upcoming friendly schedule and the Community Shield, before a discussion about Cesc Fàbregas and his return to the Emirates with Como develops into a wider debate about his Arsenal legacy — and whether there could ever be a place for him in the dugout.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:55) - What Does a Successful Season Look Like for Arsenal?(02:22) - Is the Champions League Now the Last Frontier?(04:11) - Can Arsenal Evolve Their Playing Style?(05:49) - Will Every Game Be a Cup Final for the Champions?(09:27) - Does Arsenal Need Respect From Rival Fans?(12:05) - Will a Short Pre-Season Hamper Arsenal?(14:49) - Eight Arsenal Players Remain at the World Cup(15:47) - Which Players Could Seize Their Pre-Season Opportunity?(18:26) - Protecting Declan Rice From Himself(20:57) - Managing Saka, Rice & Saliba's Workloads(23:29) - Do Footballers Get Enough Time to Recover?(25:29) - Should International Teams Protect Arsenal's Players?(28:55) - Has the World Cup Helped Martin Ødegaard?(32:27) - Arsenal's Community Shield Selection Dilemma(34:48) - Will Arteta Show More Maturity With Player Management?(36:28) - Arsenal's Pre-Season Fixtures & Games to Watch(39:29) - Cesc Fàbregas Returns to the Emirates(40:48) - The Great Cesc Fàbregas Arsenal Debate(45:35) - Outro & Looking Ahead

Show Notes: slpnow.com/259A caseload number can look tidy on paper, but it never tells the whole story. In this episode, I break down why caseload does not equal workload, what the 2024 ASHA survey tells us, and why so many school based SLPs feel stretched thin even when the numbers look manageable.I also walk through a simple way to make invisible work visible, so you can use data and clear language to advocate for support without making it personal. If you are feeling behind, this is your reminder that the system may be the problem, not you.Resources:- 2024 ASHA schools survey- SLP Now Academy- slpnow.com/pod

Are you exhausted even after a good night's sleep? That heavy, can't-shake-it feeling might be burnout, and it always has a source.Burnout is one of the biggest challenges facing workplaces today, and Steph breaks down exactly why it happens. Drawing on her background in clinical practice and coaching, she walks through the six drivers behind burnout: workload, control, reward, community, fairness, and values alignment. Steph explains how each of these shows up in subtle, everyday ways, and why naming the root cause matters more than just pushing through. This episode lays the groundwork for the recovery strategies she'll share next, because you can't fix what you haven't named.In this episode you'll discover:Why workload is about sustainability and type of work, not just quantityHow control and agency over your work fuel motivationWhy community, fairness, and values alignment matter as much as workload and rewardYour takeaways:Burnout is a significant issue affecting individuals across every kind of organizationRecognizing the subtle ways burnout shows up is the first step toward changeEvery case of burnout has a root cause, and finding it is essential for real recoveryChapters00:00 Understanding Burnout: An Introduction02:47 The Six Drivers of Burnout04:26 Driver 1: Workload and Its Impact07:58 Driver 2: Control and Agency09:41 Driver 3: The Importance of Reward10:48 Driver 4: Community and Connection11:45 Driver 5: Fairness in the Workplace14:38 Driver 6: Values Alignment and Its Significance18:22 Finding the Root Cause of Burnout19:08 Looking Ahead: Solutions for BurnoutTake the Impact Scorecard: impactreadyquiz.com

AI isn't just changing how we build software — it's changing how attackers operate. In this episode of the z/Action Podcast, we sit down with Trend Micro to unpack the accelerating security risks of the AI era and what a modern defense strategy looks like across IBM Z and LinuxONE, hybrid cloud, containers, and modern application platforms.The central challenge: agentic AI attacks demand agentic AI defenses. We explore why reactive, siloed tooling falls short — and how organizations can actually reduce tool sprawl and alert noise while gaining more control.We walk through Deep Security and the Zero=Day Initiative as the foundation, then build upward: security for OpenShift Container Platform, and a path toward full-stack visibility that spans every workload touching Z environments. The goal isn't just detection — it's the ability to correlate threats, predict attack paths, and act with precision before damage is done. This conversation maps out a practical approach to addressing this accelerating threat with speed and automation.Stay ConnectedBe part of the conversation!

How much of your team's struggle is really about the work and how much is about everything else? In this episode, Kevin talks with Dr. Liane Davey about why the real challenge many teams face isn't simply workload, but "thought load". Liane defines this as the rising cognitive demands, emotional burdens, and depleted energy reserves that make work feel heavier than it may appear. She explains how multitasking, constant urgency, oversized meetings, unclear priorities, and poor energy habits quietly drain performance and create more rework, stress, and burnout. She also shares practical ways leaders can help, including replacing urgency with true priority, creating space for focused work, taking real breaks, managing emotions rather than ignoring them, and modeling healthier boundaries.

Send us Fan MailPeaches sits down with Marc Humbert and Cameron Garber from KORR Medical Technologies to talk VO2 max, metabolic testing, heart rate zones, fueling, recovery, and how warfighters can train smarter instead of just getting crushed.This episode breaks down what VO2 max actually measures, why oxygen consumption matters, how carbon dioxide output helps determine fat and carbohydrate burn, and why heart rate zones are only useful when they are actually individualized. Marc and Cameron explain how metabolic testing can help athletes, warfighters, pilots, and tactical professionals understand workload, caloric burn, fatigue resistance, recovery needs, and performance limitations.The crew also gets into Zone 2 cardio, why easy days need to actually be easy, how hard days should be hard enough to drive adaptation, and why constantly redlining every workout is a fast track to burnout, fatigue, and injury. They also discuss military readiness, human performance, pilot endurance, long-duration missions, rucking, carbohydrate replacement, fat adaptation, and how testing can help protect the investment the military makes in its people.Find KORR Medical Technologies:KORR.comCheck out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comGear from ATACLETE:OnesReady.comTrain with us:OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Intro, Tasty Gains, ATACLETE, and Operator Training Summit03:17 - Meet Marc and Cameron from KORR Medical Technologies04:00 - Health, Longevity, and Staying Ready for Life07:18 - Why Metabolic Testing Matters Before People Break10:23 - Protecting the Military's Investment in People13:25 - Readiness During Service and Life After Service17:43 - What the Cardio Coach Measures19:19 - VO2 Max, Workload, and Caloric Burn21:37 - Fat vs. Carbohydrate Burn23:58 - Fueling, Recovery, and Heart Rate Zones25:12 - Individualizing Training Instead of Guessing27:03 - Why Harder Every Day Does Not Work28:52 - Zone 2, Taylor Starch, and Smarter Programming30:53 - Training You Can Actually Recover From32:00 - Why Easy Days Need to Stay Easy35:40 - Different Athletes Need Different Fueling Strategies37:28 - Pilot Endurance and Long-Duration Missions43:05 - Fatigue Resistance Testing46:12 - Honoring Heart Rate Zones and Recovery Signals48:04 - The 80/20 Training Model51:28 - Rucking, Heavy Loads, and Calorie Replacement56:35 - Who Should Use the Cardio Coach?59:47 - Military Use Cases for VO2 Testing01:02:15 - How to Find KORR Medical Technologies01:03:40 - Cutting Through Fitness Misinformation01:04:14 - Final Thoughts and Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

More than two decades after AWS helped usher in the public cloud era, many organizations are reassessing whether a cloud-first strategy still delivers the cost and operational benefits it once promised. While hyperscalers such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud have built enormously successful businesses, cloud spending has become a growing concern for customers as usage expands and costs continue to rise. On this episode of The New Stack Makers, Summit's Byron Dill argues that many enterprises have become overly reliant on public cloud infrastructure, using it for workloads that may be better suited to private environments. Rather than treating the cloud as a one-size-fits-all solution, Dill advocates for a more segmented approach that places workloads where they make the most sense based on cost, security and management requirements. The conversation draws parallels to the rapid adoption of AI, where organizations often discover unexpected costs after implementation. Dill explores when repatriating workloads from the public cloud to private infrastructure can reduce expenses, simplify data management and improve control, while examining the costs, timelines and industries best positioned to benefit from a private cloud strategy.   Learn more from The New Stack around cloud spending:  How to Cut Cloud Waste Without Constricting Developer Productivity  AI agents need to spend money — Stripe and iWallet are building the rails  Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game. 

Warum werden Systeme langsam, obwohl die Hardware doch immer schneller wird? Und warum endet die vermeintlich einfache Lösung so oft in einem Stack-Wechsel, der neue Probleme schafft statt alte zu lösen? Genau da setzen wir in dieser Episode an. Wir schauen auf Indexstrukturen, Datenstrukturen und die oft übersehene Frage, wie Workload, Hardware, Lese- und Schreibzugriffe und Algorithmen zusammenhängen. Denn häufig ist nicht die Datenbank schuld, sondern die falsche Struktur für den falschen Job.In dieser Episode sprechen wir über Red Black Trees, B-Bäume, B-Plus-Bäume, Hash-Indizes, Trie, Radix Tree, Bitmap Index und Bloomfilter. Wir machen das nicht abstrakt, sondern mit konkreten Beispielen aus der Praxis. Etwa mit Nginx und Timeout-Management im Event-Loop, mit HTTP-Routern und Prefix-Suche, mit Git und Bloom Filtern für schnellere Dateipfad-Abfragen oder mit Alerting-Systemen und Hashmaps. Dabei geht es auch um Big O, Cache Lines, Range Queries, Rehashing, Performance-Basics und die Frage, wann Optimierung sinnvoll ist und wann sie nur Overengineering produziert.Wenn du besser verstehen willst, warum manche Software unter Last einknickt und wie du mit dem richtigen Datenmodell, sauberen Metriken und etwas Architekturverständnis deutlich weiter kommst, ist diese Folge für dich. Und vielleicht ist die wichtigste Erkenntnis am Ende gar nicht, welche Indexstruktur die beste ist, sondern dass du sie in deiner eigenen Codebase vermutlich längst benutzt, oft nur ohne es zu merken.Bonus: Blumenfilter sind keine Blumen und streng genommen nicht mal ein richtiger Index.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

In this session from DX Annual, Christopher Sanson, Product Lead, AI Developer Experience, and Madison Capps, Engineering Manager, Infrastructure at Airbnb, challenge some of the most common assumptions about AI. Is AI primarily about replacing humans? Do organizations need mandates to drive adoption? And are the productivity gains really as small as some studies suggest?Using examples from Airbnb's own AI journey, they share how the company achieved widespread adoption of agentic AI through AirChat, community enablement, and internal tooling rather than top-down mandates. They also discuss the impact AI is having on developer productivity, how non-developers are increasingly using coding tools, and how teams are rethinking product development in an AI-first world.Finally, Madison takes a deeper look at the infrastructure powering Airbnb's AI strategy, including AirChat CLI, the AirChat SDK, and AirChat Remote, along with the company's vision for asynchronous agent workflows and the next generation of AI-powered development.Where to find Christopher Sanson:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophersanson Where to find Madison Capps:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/madison-capps-66950625In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(01:37) Myth #1: AI is about replacing humans(03:22) Myth #2: You need mandates to drive AI adoption(05:21) AirChat, agentic AI, and Airbnb's adoption strategy(08:07) Myth #3: AI has little impact on productivity(09:33) Airbnb's increase in coding time and PR throughput(14:20) Myth #4: AI coding tools are just for coders(15:39) How non-developers are using coding tools(17:24) Rethinking product development in an AI-first world(20:30) Myth #5: Vibe coding isn't coding(22:16) Unsolved problems in agentic AI tooling and how Airbnb is addressing them(26:30) Airbnb's overall AI philosophy in practice(29:15) Using agentic AI to accelerate code migrations(30:18) AirChat SDK: How Airbnb enables teams to build AI-powered applications(33:17) AirChat Remote and asynchronous agent workflows(36:07) Predictions for what's nextReferenced:• ⁠Airbnb• Steve Jobs's Bicycles for the Mind • Jennifer St Pierre • Justin Reock• AI-generated merged code holds steady at ~30%• Andrej Karpathy's post on X

Most leaders think burnout comes from too much work. So they respond with wellness programs, lighter workloads, and lunch hour yoga. Then nothing changes. In this episode of The Executive Commute, Jayson Krause sits down with Dr. Tianne Foster, physician, burnout researcher, and author of Reality Check, to unpack what actually drives burnout and why most organizations are solving the wrong problem. Trained across Canada, the US, and the UK, Dr. Foster became obsessed with burnout after a senior physician told her entire class to get out of medicine while they still could. Her conclusion: burnout isn't an individual weakness. It's a mismatch between people and the environment they work in, and it starts with leadership. In this episode: The six workplace factors that drive burnout (workload is only one of them) Why nurses turn down pay raises in toxic workplaces, and what that means for retention How to tell the difference between burnout, depression, and a hard season Why treating burnout as an individual problem lets organizations off the hook The Yale finding that high engagement scores can be an early warning, not a win The petri dish question every leader should ask about their culture If your best people are running on fumes and your wellness budget isn't moving the needle, this conversation explains what's actually happening and where to intervene.

Send us Fan MailYour plate is full, and your manager keeps adding to it. You know what needs to come off so you can focus on the work that matters most, but every time you bring it up, the conversation goes the same way. You explain how stretched you are. Your manager listens, acknowledges the load, and nothing actually changes.Here is what most women leaders miss: this conversation is not really a request for relief. It is a decision the two of you need to make together about where your time creates the most value.In this Monday Momentum episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele Belton continues the June series on the difficult conversations women leaders walk into, braced for a fight.

I have an upcoming conversation with my manager about my workload, my priorities, or something on my plate that needs to shift. Help me frame this as a decision we're making together rather than a request for permission to let something go.Ask me 3 questions:What is currently on my plate, and what do I think needs to shift?Where do I believe my time creates the most value for the team or the business?What outcome do I want this conversation to produce?Then write:One opening phrase that frames this as a decision we're making together about my time, not a request for permission to let something go.One follow-up question that surfaces where my manager sees my time creating the most value.Constraints:Forward-facing tone.No language that signals overwhelm or asks permission.Must carry the same weight as “I want to walk you through how I'm thinking about my priorities, and figure out together what needs to shift.”Must sound like a leader bringing a strategic decision to a peer, not someone asking for relief.Avoid softening language like “just,” “a little,” “maybe,” “I was thinking,” or “I wanted to mention.”The follow-up question must invite real information about priorities, not a yes-or-no response.Example output style:Opening phrase: “I want to walk you through how I'm thinking about my priorities, and figure out together what needs to shift.”Follow-up question: “Where do you see my time creating the most value right now?”Common Questions About Workload ConversationsWhat should I say when my manager keeps adding to my plate?Lead with how you are thinking about your priorities and frame the conversation as a decision about where your time creates the most value.How do I talk about workload without sounding overwhelmed?Focus on priorities, business impact, and what needs to shift rather than describing how stressed you feel.What is the difference between asking for relief and making a decision about workload?Asking for relief often sounds personal, while a decision conversation focuses on where your time creates the most value for the team or business.Ready to Go Deeper?Book a complimentary Leadership Strategy Call with Kele to talk through where you are, where you want to go, and what it will take to get there.About Your HostKele Belton is a communication and leadership trainer who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with KeleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker share their reaction to the Blue Jays' roster moves including reinstating Alejandro Kirk, recalling Davis Schneider, Daulton Varsho placed on the IL and designating Tyler Henieman for assignment before bringing on the Jays' manager John Schneider (2:24). The skipper explains some of the moves, Shane Bieber's status, how he will balance the workload for Kirk and Brandon Valenzuela, if he would consider moving George Springer back to the outfield, Vlad Jr.'s struggles against the breaking ball, if he's had conversations with Max Scherzer about his future, and Trey Yesavage's second outing against the New York Yankees. Then, Jeff and Kevin chat about Bieber's recent rehab start and why fans should trust the management team to handle Scherzer's next steps.

Today, Hunter was joined once again by Eric Tindal, a criminal defense lawyer in Iowa. He joined to explain issues Public Defenders in Iowa are facing. While the contract system is on the verge of breaking, the Public Defenders secured a major win for the right to stand up against excessive workloads. With the challenges the system faces, the two discuss if new tough on crime polices will be the straw that breaks the camels back?   Guest: Eric Tindal, Criminal Defense Lawyer, Iowa   Resource: Contact Eric eric@keeganlegal.com   Read about the Supreme Court Case Here https://www.iowacourts.gov/courtcases/24301/embed/SupremeCourtOpinion   Contact Hunter Parnell:      Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patreon www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

With Jonquel Jones and Sabrina Ionescu sidelined, Han Xu stepped into the starting lineup — and the New York Liberty picked up their fifth win of the season, 89-80 over the Connecticut Sun. But the final score doesn't tell the whole story.Erica and Brian break down what the Liberty's reserve depth actually looks like when the starters sit, what Han Xu's performance in an expanded role means for this roster, and why the turnover problem isn't going away on its own.The bigger question: are these minutes a gift — a chance for the second unit to build real chemistry and confidence heading into the stretch run? Or should Liberty fans be uneasy about how close games have been against lower-seeded opponents?Subscribe for weekly New York Liberty coverage from Gotta Get Up! — the only dedicated Liberty podcast and YouTube show.

The burnout no one talks about, and the feminine way out of it || ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndGIGCNhtdI If you're a high-achieving woman who leads teams, runs a business, or carries the mental load at home (or all three), leadership and visibility fatigue are likely draining you. Monica dives into how to operate like a woman instead of like a man, and how doing so will help you become the healthiest, wealthiest, and happiest version of yourself. In this episode: 

Analysis of James Cook's workload explores the risk of a performance dip similar to Saquon Barkley's career trajectory. Discussion covers using data to manage touches and concludes with a surprising comparison of career rushing attempts between Cook and Josh Allen.

Most nonprofit leaders know what burnout feels like. But not everyone burns out the same way.In this episode, Tosha Anderson sits down with Britt Stockert, Certified Fundraising Executive and coach at Donorbox, to talk about something that rarely comes up in the nonprofit leadership conversation: neurodivergence and the invisible workload it creates.Britt and Tosha both share their own experiences realizing, in their 40s, that what they thought was anxiety, over-ambition, or just being "a lot" was actually something more specific. And they explore why the nonprofit sector may be uniquely positioned to both attract and burn out neurodivergent leaders at an alarming rate.In this conversation, you'll hear about:What "superhero mode" looks like in practice, and why it eventually collapsesThe secondary operating system neurodivergent leaders carry that neurotypical colleagues don'tWhy neurodivergent burnout often goes undetected in teams until it's a crisisWhat alexithymia is and why it matters for nonprofit leadersSmall, practical changes that leaders and organizations can make right nowWhy a formal diagnosis is not required to start advocating for yourselfThis is one of those episodes that will make a lot of people feel a lot less alone.Read more on our blog: https://thecharitycfo.com/neurodivergent-burnout-nonprofit-leaders/Connect With Brittan Stockert

Burnout in high stress jobs isn't always about doing too much; sometimes it's about a belief you were never taught to question.You finished your day, finished (most) of your tasks, and you still can't switch off. Most people assume that's a workload problem, but the reason people in demanding roles like medicine can't genuinely rest isn't about how much they've done - it's about what they've been conditioned to believe about rest itselfIn this episode, Rachel introduces the Superhero Delusion: the conviction that the rules about rest apply to other people. Not to you. She explores how that belief was built, why burnout recovery starts with understanding rest differently, and what sustainable work actually requires.We cover:Why you can't switch off - and why workload isn't the real reasonThe Superhero Delusion: the conviction that the rules about rest apply to other people, not youHow the belief that rest has to be earned gets installed - and who installed itWhat sustainable work actually requires (and it isn't more discipline)This episode is for you if you're the person who has to be on even when you're officially off. Who takes annual leave and spends the first two days mentally finishing the handover. Who lies awake replaying the list of things that didn't get done - and is still asking whether any amount of done would ever feel like enough.

A fundamental structural shift underway is the movement of AI from isolated features to operationalized, production-level workloads in MSP tooling and client environments. This transition is not primarily about the capabilities of individual AI models but about their integration into existing operational platforms and workflows. Companies such as PDQ, Senteon, Domotz, and Zoom are incorporating AI agents directly into management layers, endpoint automation, and workflow orchestration, thereby increasing both the scope and complexity of AI impact. The locus of value is shifting from features to workflow control and integration, creating new demands for governance, consumption monitoring, and exit strategies. The most consequential development referenced is the transition in AI billing and operational models from static user or seat licenses to variable, usage-based consumption. He cites TechCrunch's coverage of GitHub Copilot's move to token-based billing and Semafor's reporting of Uber's rapid exhaustion of its 2026 AI budget in four months due to unbounded consumption by generative tools. F5's State of Application Strategy report is referenced to confirm that multi-cloud and parallel model operations are now common, with significant instances of AI-related security incidents already reported. Secondary developments reinforce this structural realignment of risk and accountability. PDQ, for instance, is expanding multi-tenant management and integration capabilities, while Senteon enables endpoint hardening and drift control directly in Rewst's platform. Domotz's MCP server allows AI agents to operate across 40,000 networks globally, and Zoom is packaging AI context protocol features for workflow automation. Each of these changes is designed to increase operational efficiency, but also expand the surface area for unintended consequences, elevated operational complexity, and potential budget overruns. For MSPs and IT leaders, the operational implications center on governance, spend control, and clear accountability over AI-driven tools and workflows. The risk is that without adequate monitoring, policy setting, and contractual clarity—especially around data portability and exit costs—MSPs may face liability for unplanned consumption, misconfigured automation, or governance gaps. The evidence indicates the need to proactively audit AI integrations, set usage thresholds, instrument logging and budgeting controls, and renegotiate vendor contracts to ensure service boundaries and oversight mechanisms are in place before workflows become too deeply embedded. 00:00 MSP Stack Resets  04:09 AI Needs Governance 06:45 Govern AI or Pay 09:22 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  Nerdio Zero Networks

Steve and Jeff recapped the Spurs' dominant Game 6 victory over the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals and the start of the NCAA Baseball Tournament. Kevin Foote, a UL Ragin' Cajuns reporter for The Acadiana Advocate, previewed Louisiana baseball's journey in the Starkville regional. The guys listened to media availability from Chris Olave, Jordyn Tyson, Jonas Sanker, Martin Emerson, and Erik McCoy after the Saints' recent OTA workout.

A surgeon hurls a scalpel across theatre. It clatters off the wall. Nobody looks up. Twenty minutes later he's in the tearoom offering everyone a biscuit, and someone shrugs: "That's just him when he's stressed."If you've worked in veterinary practice for any length of time, you've got your own version of that story - maybe a bit less dramatic, but still things that completely destroy psychological safety.  This episode is about that stuff, and the new psychosocial safety laws now rolling out across Australia that say plainly: no, actually, that's not acceptable. To make sense of what that looks like on a normal Tuesday in a normal practice, you'll hear from psychologist Rhonda Andrews, who works across high-pressure industries - emergency departments, the courts, and the veterinary profession - and who has spent years watching them all wrestle with the same problem: people breaking. This conversation is not about “just be more resilient”, but about systems. Rhonda makes a genuinely good-news case that these laws aren't more bureaucracy to dread - they're the push our profession has needed all along.You'll hear Why the things you've always filed under "just  part the job" might now legally count as a psychological workplace injury - with consequences attachedThe myth spreading fastest right now - that bosses can no longer have an honest performance conversation - and why that's flatly wrong What the new psychosocial safety laws actually require of you as a practice ownerWhy this a team problem, not just something for management to sort outWhy "workload" is almost never the real problem - and the thing breaking your team underneath it that owners consistently missThe one shift available to everyone in the building - whatever their title - that changes culture without a single policy changeA note: this is the second in a small psych-safety miniseries. If you haven't heard Episode 158 with Dr Rebecca Faris on the AVA Thrive programme, start there for the bigger picture.Resources:Barrington Centre - Rhonda's psychosocial safety seminars (two online sessions, plus an in-person Melbourne day) and the Vet ECM training programmes for owners, leaders, and new supervisors: barringtoncentre.comFor show notes, clinical content and the newsletter head to thevetvault.com, and come find your people at a Vets On Tour conference -  email me at info@thevetvault.com to find out about our new-grad 50% discount for Wānaka inAugust.Topics and time stamps04:52 Rising Mental Health Claims08:41 Mythbusting Owners Fears10:37 Defining Psychological Safety12:37 Vets Staying in Bad Jobs14:28 Sponsor Break Vets On Tour16:03 Systems vs Individual Responsibility19:35 Burnout Stats and Human Cost21:17 Who Can Influence Culture?22:46 Is Vet Work Uniquely Hard?24:05 Human Sector Parallels29:15 Business Model Reality Check30:18 ROI of Retention32:20 Psychosocial Safety Laws37:34 Workload and Rostering Fixes42:44 Leadership and Being Heard45:27 From Blame to Pathways50:27 Training Programs and Teams52:58 Myth Busting Performance Reviews54:27 Final Takeaways

Most leaders think high turnover is a retention problem. But it's not; it's a leadership problem. And the fix is the exact opposite of what most leaders do.Staff turnover is still widely misunderstood. And most leaders operate from a place of fear, responding to it defensively.They tiptoe around their people, lower the standards, and tolerate poor performance so they don't rock the boat. But, ironically, this is the worst thing you could possibly do for your retention problem. In this episode I give you my views on how to frame the turnover problem; I look at an article from Harvard Business Review that confirms what great leaders have always known. And I give you a practical framework that you can implement: four things to stop doing and four things to start doing.Links mentioned in this episode:No Bullsh!t Leadership episodes:Ep.27: Unleashing the Power of Your PeopleEp.355: The New Rules for High Performing TeamsHarvard Business Review article:Surprising Ways to Reduce Turnover in High-Pressure, High-Skill JobsSupporting research:Operational Overload: The Impact of Workload on High-Skilled Workforce AttritionWikipedia link:Yerkes-Dodson LawNurse Org article:Nursing Demand His New HIghLBT link:Leadership Beyond the Theory————————Have you taken our free Leadership Blindspot test?✨ In just 5 minutes you'll uncover the hidden leadership habits holding you back.Get your Blindspot Score and know exactly what to fix before it costs your career!TAKE THE FREE TEST HERE————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. ✨ If you've finished Leadership Beyond the Theory but still find yourself needing a sounding board for the real leadership challenges, applications are now open for the next intake of The No Bullsh!t Leaders Club.Join Marty, Em, and 90+ high calibre leaders for straight answers, tough conversations, and ongoing support to help you lead at a higher standard: leadershipbeyondthetheory.com/nblc Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Andrew breaks down the concept of the Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) in a practical and easy-to-understand way for athletes, coaches, parents, and practitioners. Rather than getting lost in complicated formulas or sports science jargon, this discussion focuses on the bigger coaching and performance lesson behind ACWR — why sudden spikes in workload can become problematic when athletes are not properly prepared for the demands being placed on their bodies.Andrew explains how workload management is not about avoiding hard training, but instead about progressively building an athlete's capacity to tolerate sprinting, jumping, conditioning, lifting, and sport-specific demands over time. He also discusses why undertraining and underexposure can sometimes be just as risky as overtraining, especially when competition intensity suddenly exceeds what an athlete has been consistently prepared for.Throughout the episode, Andrew shares practical examples and coaching insights to help listeners better understand how intelligent progression, preparation, and monitoring can improve resilience, reduce breakdown, and optimize long-term athletic performance. Whether you are an athlete, coach, clinician, or parent, this episode provides valuable perspective on balancing performance development with athlete preparedness. Enjoy the episode!

MONEY QUOTES: "The Internal Customer Crisis: Why Your Employees Are Quitting (And It's Not About Money)" "Nearly 75% of employee turnover is preventable." "Your job is to be the source of certainty in the chaos." THE DATA: Work Institute: 15,000 exit interviews in 2025, part of 120,000+ interviews from 2020-2025. Nearly 75% of employee turnover is preventable. MIT Sloan: Toxic workplace culture is the number one reason people quit, 10x more predictive than compensation. Gallup: Only 23% of employees are actively engaged. If you have 10 people, only 2-3 are truly engaged. The other 7-8 are going through the motions. People aren't quitting because of perks, pay, or flexibility. They're quitting because you're not giving them the 5 Cs.   THE 5 Cs YOUR EMPLOYEES NEED: 1. Context: The big picture. How does their work matter? Where is the company going? 2. Clarity: What does success look like? What are the priorities? What's expected? 3. Communication: Transparent conversations. Early problem surfacing. No surprises. 4. Consistency: Weekly rhythm. Reliable cadence. Predictable structure. 5. Certainty: Trust. Belief in the vision. Coaching for their highest potential. The one leaders miss most: Certainty.   WHAT CERTAINTY MEANS: Certainty isn't about guarantees. It's about creating psychological safety in an uncertain world. It's about your employees knowing: - "My leader believes in me." - "My leader has my back." - "My leader sees my potential and is invested in helping me reach it." - "Even when things are hard, I trust that we'll figure it out together." Certainty is the foundation of everything else. Without it, nothing else works. It is your job as the leader to create certainty. Not HR. Not a program. You. Your employees are living in an uncertain world. In the absence of certainty, people panic. They disengage. They leave. Your job is to be the source of certainty in the chaos.   WHY EMPLOYEES QUIT: REASON #1: They can't see a future (Career Development) Career growth has been the number one driver of turnover for decades. Not pay. Not perks. Growth. The 5 Cs failure: No Context (how their growth fits the bigger picture), No Clarity (what skills to build or what success looks like), No Certainty (they don't trust you're invested in their future). What you need: Role clarity that defines what great looks like and what the path forward is.   REASON #2: Their manager is the problem (Manager Behavior) People don't leave companies. They leave managers. The problem isn't technical. It's behavioral. How managers communicate. How they handle pressure. How they treat people when things get challenging. The 5 Cs failure: No Communication (managers avoid hard topics), No Consistency (managers are unpredictable, moody, reactive), No Certainty (managers don't believe in their people, they micromanage or abandon, they don't coach or create safety). Certainty is the hardest C for managers to deliver because it requires them to show up as leaders, not just task managers. What you need: A weekly rhythm that structures one-on-ones, creates space for coaching conversations, and builds certainty through consistency.   REASON #3: Work-life balance is unsustainable (Workload and Flexibility) This isn't about remote work or flexible hours. It's about unrealistic expectations, unclear priorities, and constant firefighting. Employees don't know what's most important, what they can say no to, or when "good enough" is actually good enough. So they try to do everything. And they burn out. The 5 Cs failure: No Clarity (priorities are unclear, everything is urgent), No Consistency (the rhythm is chaotic, meetings are random, expectations shift constantly), No Certainty (employees don't trust it's okay to set boundaries or push back). What you need: Decision boundaries that clarify what's theirs to own, what needs your input, and what they can let go of.   REASON #4: AI and job security uncertainty (Lack of Transparency) It's not fear of job loss. It's uncertainty about what AI means for them and their role. In the absence of clarity, employees fill in the blanks. Usually in ways that don't work in your favor. The lack of transparency creates anxiety. The 5 Cs failure: No Context (they don't understand why AI matters or how it fits the vision), No Communication (you're not talking about it or you're being vague), No Certainty (they don't trust you'll protect them, support them, or help them adapt). Your job as the leader is to say: "Here's what's changing. Here's what's staying the same. Here's how you fit into the future. I believe in you. We'll figure this out together." What you need: Transparent communication built into your weekly rhythm so change doesn't blindside your team.   REASON #5: The day-to-day experience wears them down (Culture and Recognition) This is the slow bleed. Not one big thing. Just a thousand small things that add up over time. Their wins go unnoticed. Their concerns go unheard. Their effort goes unrecognized. They feel invisible. The 5 Cs failure: No Communication (you're not listening, acknowledging, or seeing them), No Certainty (they don't feel valued, they don't trust their work matters, they don't believe you care). What you need: A consistent rhythm that creates space for recognition, celebration, and connection.   THE PATTERN: Every reason employees quit comes back to the same problem: You're not giving them the 5 Cs. And the one you're missing most? Certainty. Because certainty is hard. It requires you to show up as a leader, not just a manager. It requires you to believe in your people, even when they don't believe in themselves. It requires you to create safety, trust, and confidence in an uncertain world. Most leaders have never been taught how to do that. So they default to managing tasks. And their people leave.   THE REAL PROBLEM: You don't have an internal customer experience strategy built on the 5 Cs. Turnover has slowed, but the underlying frustration hasn't. Employees are staying longer, not because they're fully bought in, but because they're watching, waiting, and quietly reassessing whether it's worth sticking around. That's the real risk. Not mass exits, but quiet disengagement building under the surface. The gap between staying and committing is where most organizations are losing people. They just don't see it yet. You can't fix this with another perk, another program, or another pizza party. You fix it by building the infrastructure that delivers the 5 Cs.   THE SOLUTION: Bulletproof COO builds the infrastructure that creates the internal customer experience your team is craving. 3-5 short conversations. You talk. The system builds: - Role clarity so employees know what great looks like and what's next - Decision boundaries so they know what's theirs to own - Documented standards so expectations are clear - A weekly rhythm that creates consistency, communication, and certainty - An onboarding process that delivers context from day one Your team gets the 5 Cs. You stop being the bottleneck. Your A-players stay. Mediocrity loses its hiding place. Most importantly, you create certainty. Because the system gives you the structure to show up as a leader, not just a firefighter. Stop losing your best people to preventable turnover. Go to bulletproofbusinessgrowth.com/coo   ACTION STEP: Ask yourself: Are you creating certainty for your team? Or are you leaving them to navigate the chaos alone?

Episode 422 is the debut of Decoded by Identity at the Center, a new sub-series hosted by Jeff Steadman and Sean O'Dell dedicated to unpacking the specifications and standards powering IAM. Joining them is Pieter Kasselman, VP of Open Standards at Defakto and chair of the WIMSE working group. The conversation covers why traditional non-human identity approaches break at agentic scale, how SPIFFE and SPIRE enable short-lived automated credential provisioning without long-lived secrets, and why treating agents as workloads unlocks a decade of existing standards. Pieter walks through critical OAuth specs including JWT authorization grant, token exchange, client ID metadata, and the emerging transaction tokens draft. Sean connects these to practical gateway architecture, continuous access evaluation, and policy-based authorization. The episode closes with real-world deployment examples and a clear takeaway: the tools to secure agentic identity are available today.Episode Links:Pieter Kasselman: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pieter-kasselman-0259862/AI Agent Authentication and Authorization: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-klrc-aiagent-auth/Workload Identity in Multi-system environments (WIMSE): https://ietf-wg-wimse.github.io/OAuth SPIFFE Client Authentication: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-spiffe-client-auth/Transaction Tokens: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-transaction-tokens/08/Agentic Identity Control Framework.
