Muscle loss and sarcopenia have been synonymous with aging in previous generations. Muscle loss impacts osteoporosis, balance, stability, independence, and hormone balance.  In this episode we'll talk about the 3 M's and how to bank muscle looking forward to a time off your fee as well as how to get it back if you have muscle loss and sarcopenia.  My Guest: Dr. Chris Meletis is an internationally recognized educator, author, lecturer, and functional medicine practitioner with more than 33 years of clinical experience. He has authored 18 books and over 200 scientific articles, contributing extensively to the fields of naturopathic and integrative medicine.  Formerly the Dean of Naturopathic Medicine and Chief Medical Officer at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, he was honored as Physician of the Year by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Passionate about accessible healthcare, he helped establish 16 free natural medicine clinics and continues to focus on the GI microbiome, mitochondrial health, nutritional biochemistry, and botanical medicine. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What trends have you seen in aging, and why does muscle become such a critical issue for women in midlife and beyond? Are physicians beginning to use muscle-related assessments as vital signs, and should strength be monitored more routinely as we age? What does grip strength actually measure, and why is it such a powerful indicator of overall strength and future health? What happens when you need a bunion surgery, joint replacement, or another procedure that temporarily limits activity? Will you lose muscle, and how can you prepare for it? If you're told to lose weight before a knee or hip replacement, how do you protect muscle mass while improving your health outcomes? Are we eating enough protein, and is our digestion allowing us to actually absorb and utilize it as we age? How can muscle-support strategies help during periods of bed rest, illness, pain, long COVID, or other situations that increase the risk of sarcopenia? What should active women do when they're already exercising but still struggle with maintaining muscle, energy, or lean body mass? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

How are scars from nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) different than physical scars that are unintentional or result from non-self-inflicted wounds ? What psychological effects can result from daily reminders of one's own decision to self-harm? Is there an association between NSSI scars and suicidal thoughts and behaviors? In this episode, Dr. Burke discusses the mixed relationship that many people who self-injure have with the scars they bear from NSSI and how some may feel the need to hide their scars even from themselves.  Learn more about Dr. Burke and her work by clicking here or visiting the Mood & Behavior Lab (MABL) at www.moodandbehaviorlab.org.

Here's What Research Says A woman in our community recently shared that she was thrilled with the results she was experiencing in the program. It was impressive, and honestly a surprise, even to me. She'd lost like 11 lbs and significant inches.  She explained just before joining she had done a program built around HIIT. No doubt it was promised as a weight loss program. Because HIIT is supposed to burn fat. Visceral belly fat in fact, the worst kind. Clearly not in this case.  Not to scare you off from HIIT. There is a right time for it. But this episode highlights when and why so much of what you “hear” or are sold just may not work for you!  Influencers gonna influence. They share what works for them, often what they've heard, not studied, applied and tested on hundreds or thousands of people just like you, living real life with real life obligations. If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

What does it look like to have a world-class CMO in your corner without the full-time price tag? In this episode, Alloy founder Rick Mayo sits down with Erin Levzow, CMO at CapitalSpring, to talk about the real value of fractional marketing leadership. Erin has held CMO roles at Wingstop, Freebirds, Museum of Ice Cream, and Marcus Hotels, and now works across the full CapitalSpring portfolio to help franchise brands build stronger marketing systems and better internal teams. She and Rick dig into how she mentors marketers inside growing companies, why most franchisees make the mistake of betting everything on one marketing channel, and what the faucet-and-bucket analogy tells you about why your spend is or is not working. They also talk about the human connection at the core of the Alloy model and why that matters more than ever in an AI-driven world. If you are building a franchise brand or trying to get more out of your marketing team, this episode is worth your time.

What happens when a franchisor and its franchisees are both running ads at the same time, targeting the same people? In this episode, Alloy founder Rick Mayo sits down with Aren Johnstone, CEO of Franchise Ramp, to talk about one of the most misunderstood problems in franchise marketing: duplicate spend. Aren breaks down why national and local budgets so often work against each other, what a properly divided marketing funnel actually looks like, and how Franchise Ramp built a system that makes every dollar, national and local, work harder. Aren also shares how he got his start buying an e-commerce business his senior year of high school, why he eventually left that world for franchising, and what Franchise Ramp's no-contract model says about where their confidence comes from. If you are an Alloy franchisee, a prospective owner, or just trying to understand where your brand fund actually goes, this episode gives you a clear answer.

What's the difference between a website that looks great and one that actually brings in business? In this episode, Alloy founder Rick Mayo sits down with Jimmy Weeks, CEO of Internet Strategy Labs, to dig into what separates high-performing websites from digital dead ends. Jimmy has built nearly 700 websites over 25 years and built one of the first franchise analytics dashboards in the industry. He knows what works and more importantly, why. They cover how to design for different buyer personas, why time-on-site has dropped from three minutes to under one, how the back end of your site can quietly kill your marketing results, and why building for function before beauty is almost always the right call. If you run a franchise location or are evaluating the performance of your brand's web presence, this one is worth your time.

In this candid conversation with Eric Malzone, Rick opens up about why he chose Capital Spring, how he avoided the "gunslinging" PE horror stories, and why pulling some chips off the table actually gave him more clarity, not less. He breaks down the deceptively simple model behind Alloy's 91% retention rate, explains why saying "no" to flashy trends (GLP-1s, saunas, meal delivery) has been the secret to scaling, and reveals how he thinks about integrating adjacent services without muddying the core business. If you're a franchise operator, founder considering outside capital, or just someone who wants to know what actually works after three decades in the trenches, this one's for you. Key Takeaways:

This episode focuses on how we feel in our skin and how we take care of our skin. After our HonestAF Show Listeners were asking about our Day and Night Skincare routines, we have obliged and laid out our full current routines. A quick description - Daniella's routine at this time is heavily based on Korean Beauty and her Alloy products. Her morning routine begins with the Zipp device using a Korean Beauty balm as a conduit. Then she layers moisturizers and finishes with a tinted sunscreen serum. Barbaranne's am routine begins with cleansing and a Vitamin C serum, moisturizer, One Skin eye cream and always tinted mineral sunscreen. Both ladies use Makeup Erasers to cleanse their skin and remove makeup and sunscreen in the evening. They differ in a few of their products but both cannot live without their Fascia Blasters and OneSkin for the Body (a total game changer) and use more emollient products for nighttime skin restoration and repair but they both are also obsessed with Inner Beauty's doctor developed, clinically backed, prescription Anti-Aging Face Cream with Estriol, Tretinoin and Niacinamide. Watch YouTube to see both their full routines. There's a new FlicsAF which leads to a humerous conversation about dating amongst people with great age differences. We want to know what you think.

Have you noticed how every week brings a new headline about AI driven fraud, yet it still feels hard to tell what is real risk and what is noise? In this Tech Talks Daily episode, I'm joined by Tommy Nicholas, CEO of Alloy, for a candid conversation that cuts through the fear driven commentary and gets into what fraud teams are actually dealing with right now.  We start with a simple but important distinction that gets blurred all the time. Tommy separates classic "fraud," where institutions take the hit, from "scams," where individuals are manipulated into handing over money or access. That framing changes how you think about solutions, accountability, and where AI is making things worse. Tommy also shares why he believes fraud losses are often massively underreported. It is not because people are trying to hide the truth, it is because organizations rarely have a single, clean view of losses across every product line and channel. Add messy labeling, split ownership across teams, and reporting becomes a best effort estimate rather than an objective number. That reality matters if you're building board level narratives, budgets, or risk models on top of survey data. From there, we talk about what organizations are getting right. Tommy argues there is no magical "undetectable" attack that forces teams to give up, but there is a very real breakdown happening in old fallbacks, especially human review of images and video. The bigger shift he sees is banks and fintechs finally pushing for consistent tooling across every channel, web, mobile, branch, call center, support tickets, because fraud does not respect internal org charts. We then get into why Alloy's AI Assistant is an interesting signal for where agentic AI is heading in regulated work. Tommy explains that agents are only useful when they have rigorous context, strong sources of truth, and clear workflows. Otherwise they guess, and "looks good" is not the same as "safe to run in production." He also lays out where agents can genuinely outperform humans, like scaling investigations during sudden surges, while keeping processes auditable and repeatable. We close by looking ahead at agentic commerce, and why Tommy thinks the breakthrough will arrive through weird, emergent behavior rather than a neat protocol roll out.  When you listen back, do you think the next big leap in fraud prevention will come from better models, better data, or better operational discipline, and what would you bet on if your own customers were the ones on the line?

As vehicles transition into software‑defined platforms, the complexity of integrating operating systems, middleware, and application layers has increased dramatically. QNX, a division of BlackBerry, focuses on solving these challenges through secure, reliable, and high‑performance embedded software. Its technology is deployed in hundreds of millions of vehicles worldwide, supporting systems that require stability, safety, and predictable behavior. With the introduction of Alloy Kore, QNX expands its role by offering a foundational software platform designed to streamline integration and accelerate development for modern automakers.The rise of software‑defined architectures has created new demands on engineering teams. Software now originates from multiple vendors, spans numerous domains, and must operate cohesively across the entire vehicle. This complexity has contributed to delayed vehicle programs, increased development costs, and a growing number of software‑related recalls. Alloy Kore was developed to address these challenges by providing a unified foundation that reduces fragmentation and supports consistent, reliable performance.Engineered for Integration and Long‑Term StabilityAlloy Kore serves as a foundational layer that manages the essential software infrastructure of the vehicle. It integrates the QNX operating system with automotive middleware from Vector, creating a cohesive environment that reduces the burden on automakers. Rather than stitching together disparate components, manufacturers can rely on a platform engineered specifically for integration, verification, and long‑term stability.This approach allows development teams to focus on the application layer, where user experience, personalization, and vehicle‑specific innovation occur. By offloading foundational complexity to a purpose‑built platform, automakers can allocate engineering resources more effectively and reduce the risk of delays caused by low‑level software issues. Alloy Kore supports the performance, safety, and security requirements expected in modern vehicles while providing a consistent base for future development.Supporting the Shift to Software‑Defined MobilityThe automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation as vehicles become increasingly dependent on software for functionality, safety, and user experience. Alloy Kore supports this transition by offering a stable, scalable foundation that can evolve alongside new technologies. The platform is designed to accommodate the growing number of software components, sensors, and connectivity features that define next‑generation vehicles.By addressing integration challenges early in the development process, Alloy Kore helps reduce downstream issues that can lead to costly recalls or delayed launches. The platform's architecture supports predictable behavior, enabling automakers to build advanced features with confidence. This stability is essential as vehicles incorporate more complex driver‑assistance systems, connected services, and personalized digital experiences.Industry Adoption and Collaborative DevelopmentThe introduction of Alloy Kore has already gained traction within the automotive industry. Mercedes‑Benz has been announced as the first customer for the platform, demonstrating its relevance to manufacturers seeking to modernize their software strategies. The collaboration between QNX and Vector reflects a shared commitment to addressing industry‑wide challenges through a unified, purpose‑built solution.The platform's launch at CES highlights the growing recognition of software as a central component of vehicle development. Automakers increasingly view foundational software as a critical factor in achieving faster time‑to‑market, improved reliability, and enhanced user experience. Alloy Kore provides a structured path toward these goals by offering a stable base that supports innovation without compromising safety or performance.ConclusionQNX advances the future of automotive software through Alloy Kore, a foundational platform designed to simplify integration, improve reliability, and accelerate development. By combining secure operating system technology with automotive middleware, the platform addresses the complexity of modern vehicle software and supports the transition to software‑defined architectures. As automakers continue to innovate, solutions like Alloy Kore will play a central role in enabling efficient development and delivering the advanced features expected in next‑generation vehicles.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Send us a textFraud is up, a lot, at credit unions, according to the Alloy 2026 State of Fraud Report, says Sara Seguin, a principal adviser at Alloy.  Sara is a past CU 2.0 Podcast guest - link to that show is in the show notes.  She's on the show now to report that credit unions say they have experienced a 72% increase in fraud events, more than any other segment.Worse, a lot of fraud now involves synthetic identities - i.e., manufactured people - and a long con that may take months or years before the crooks seek to defraud the credit union.What can credit unions do to fight back?  Alloy has pointers.Credit unions also have seen a spike in in-branch fraud, says Alloy. That's surprising but also very worrying.  Hear the details in the show.Fraud is not a fun topic, I know that. But it is a real, every day concern at just about every credit union in the US and knowledge - of what fraudsters are doing and the tools available to fight back - is indeed power for a credit union.Understand, too, last year's fraud trends aren't this year's.  It's a constant battle where the criminals are always updating their weapons.  Credit unions have to do likewise.How?

My conversation with Elliott Parker, CEO of Alloy Partners and author of The Illusion of Innovation, was one of the most downloaded of 2025. Drawing on decades of experience launching startups with High Alpha and advising Fortune 100 companies at Innosight, Elliott explains why most corporate innovation efforts fall short. He outlines how organizational structures, incentives, and short-term metrics often prevent innovation teams from achieving the transformation they are tasked with delivering. Elliott also breaks down the critical difference between execution problems and learning problems, and why most corporations confuse the two.  Elliot shares how Alloy builds startups outside the core business, giving them the freedom to take risks, run fast experiments, and uncover opportunities that internal teams cannot reach. These external ventures enable corporations to explore innovative ideas, validate assumptions, and acquire the type of knowledge that drives long-term strategic advantage. Whether you are running an innovation team, funding one, or simply wondering why they rarely deliver game-changing results, this episode offers sharp insights, real examples, and a practical framework for thinking differently about how innovation works.
