Hey, folks, Scott Wyngard here, and this is an M-Krid podcast. This is the first podcast of

2026. And I'm sorry, this is a little late. The beginning of the year is always a super busy time,

but hopefully it'll be worth it. And so, why don't we dive right in? After a very quick mention

of the Awaken Aware course, we're going to stop selling tickets in about three or four weeks, even though the

event's not for another month and a half, because we have to know exactly how many people are

conference about getting joy, about eliminating burnout, about finding your purpose. The

tentative schedule is now up on the site

at Awake Aware Conference. That's one word, awakeawareconference.com. So if you're at all interested,

we're going to stop ticket sales, and then you'll be S.O.L. So awake aware conference.com, Scottsdale, Arizona,

March 1st to 4th with myself and a bunch of my coaching buddies, and you will love it. Okay,

stand and then i could hear if you differ with me and you have places that you think i should go

differently in my practice and we'll just see where we're at. So we're just going to do

State of the Airway for 2026 and it should be a fun show. So as a guiding basis for talking about this,

I'm going to use the brand new difficult Airway Society guidelines out of the UK. They're pretty

good. The Das is getting better and better. There's a few things I quibble with, but for the most part. They're pretty good. The DAS is getting better and better. There's a few

things I quibble with, but for the most part, they're pretty good. So we will use those as our

kind of table of contents to what to talk about. And so the first item on the list is difficult
