    EVERYONE SINGS!

    ...if siloed thinking prevents us from grasping COMPLEXITY, true collaboration requires a moment of transformation, when one can emerge from one's silo...how does that happen?....and what does that moment of transcendence feel like?

    Join Dave and special guest, Airway Health Solutions founder and fellow PULMONAUT Lauren Gueits for this very special episode that daringly journeys into the Musical Metaverse to answer these questions! Can humility elevate us above the din of argument? Dave and Lauren get playful with this notion within an all-new original earworm of a POP SONG, and invite you to come along...

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN, Life Fans! For this extra-delibulous palindromic 11th episode of our second season, Dave reads from the Beautiful Blue Book three tales of a SCARY thing we see here on the ISLE of SLEEP APNEA, something called "CPAP Pressure Toxicity".

    What's CPAP Pressure Toxicity? It’s any CPAP setting that’s TOO HIGH FOR YOU? What does that look like? Well, listen to our three stories...SCARY STORIES for HALLOWEEN…and find out for yourself! Don’t worry, Life Fans! We wouldn’t leave you IN THE DARK! All three of our TALES OF TERROR happily resolve into joyful EMPOWERMENT!

    The cartoon for today's episode is a teaching point that's worth REMEMBERING...the type of mask we use for CPAP really MATTERS...our cartoon character CLAUDIO helps us take a look at the functional differences between nasal masks and oronasal masks.
