We are delighted to partner with Western Radiation Oncology today, with two of their distinguished radiation oncologists joining us on the Prostate Health Podcast.  LDR (Low Dose Rate) prostate brachytherapy has recently been an underutilized treatment for prostate cancer. However, advancements in modern techniques have demonstrated that LDR brachytherapy, a procedure that can be performed quite easily in an ambulatory surgery center, offers high cure rates with minimal long-term complications, making it a convenient, non-invasive option for men with prostate cancer. Today, we chat with Dr. Steven Kurtzman and Dr. Ankit Agarwal, two distinguished radiation oncologists working to expand access to LDR brachytherapy by partnering with urologists to establish new programs across the United States.  Drs. Kurtzman and Agarwal are national leaders in targeted real-time intraoperative planned brachytherapy. With over 7,000 implants performed in the past two decades and more than 700 procedures conducted annually, they have managed to preserve this specialized technique despite its limited expansion in recent years. Based primarily in the Bay Area, California, they provide exceptional cancer care while collaborating with urologists, medical oncologists, and prostate cancer specialists across the United States to assist in establishing LDR programs in ambulatory surgery centers nationwide to provide high-quality prostate cancer care.

Here's what we covered:Defining Platform Engineering* Platform engineering: Building compelling internal products to help teams reuse capabilities with less coordination.* Cloud computing connection: Enterprises can now compose platforms from cloud services, creating mature, internal products for all engineering personas.Ankit's career journey* Didn't choose platform engineering; it found him.* Early start in programming (since age 11).* Transitioned from a product engineer mindset to building internal tools and platforms.* Key experience across startups, the public sector, unicorn companies, and private cloud projects.Singapore Public Sector Experience* Public sector: Highly advanced digital services (e.g., identity services for tax, housing).* Exciting environment: Software development in Singapore's public sector is fast-paced and digitally progressive.Platform Engineering Turf Wars* Turf wars: Debate among DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering.* DevOps: Collaboration between dev and ops to think systemically.* SRE: Operations done the software engineering way.* Platform engineering: Delivering operational services as internal, self-service products.Dysfunctional Team Interactions* Issue: Requiring tickets to get work done creates bottlenecks.* Ideal state: Teams should be able to work autonomously without raising tickets.* Spectrum of dysfunction: From one ticket for one service to multiple tickets across teams leading to delays and misconfigurations.Quadrant Model (Autonomy vs. Cognitive Load)* Challenge: Balancing user autonomy with managing cognitive load.* Goal: Enable product teams with autonomy while managing cognitive load.* Solution: Platforms should abstract unnecessary complexity while still giving teams the autonomy to operate independently.How it pans out* Low autonomy, low cognitive load: Dependent on platform teams but a simple process.* Low autonomy, high cognitive load: Requires interacting with multiple teams and understanding technical details (worst case).* High autonomy, high cognitive load: Teams have full access (e.g., AWS accounts) but face infrastructure burden and fragmentation.* High autonomy, low cognitive load: Ideal situation—teams get what they need quickly without detailed knowledge.Shift from Product Thinking to Cognitive Load* Cognitive load focus: More important than just product thinking—consider the human experience when using the system.* Team Topologies: Mentioned as a key reference on this concept of cognitive load management.Platform as a Product Mindset* Collaboration: Building the platform in close collaboration with initial users (pilot teams) is crucial for success.* Product Management: Essential to have a product manager or team dedicated to communication, user journeys, and internal marketing.Self-Service as a Platform Requirement* Definition: Users should easily discover, understand, and use platform capabilities without human intervention.* User Testing: Watch how users interact with the platform to understand stumbling points and improve the self-service experience.Platform Team Cognitive Load* Burnout Prevention: Platform engineers need low cognitive load as well. Moving from a reactive (ticket-based) model to a proactive, self-service approach can reduce the strain.* Proactive Approach: Self-service models allow platform teams to prioritize development and avoid being overwhelmed by constant requests.

The Government has announced a reform of the current Building Consent Authority structure. The proposed reforms aim to streamline and standardise consenting processes, reducing inefficiencies.

Are high interest rates and large down payments stopping you from investing in real estate? If so, creative finance might be precisely what you need. It's what today's guest, Ankit Lodha, used to go from zero rental properties to THIRTY in just a couple of years. Sounds risky? What if we told you Ankit was walking into equity when he bought these deals, keeping him from being overleveraged and helping him build wealth faster? After saving up for over a decade to buy his first property, Ankit quickly realized that building wealth would be a slow grind if he didn't solve his down payment problem. He was working hard as a data scientist by day, looking for real estate deals by night, and needed a solution to help him creatively buy real estate WITHOUT putting twenty-five percent down on every property. After finding a sweet spot in his local housing market, where he made substantially more rent than other landlords, he knew he needed more properties. Today, Ankit talks about how he scaled from zero to thirty properties using creative financing, seller financing, and traditional mortgages. He'll talk about how he dodged the high mortgage rates most investors were forced to accept, how he built a team and runs his properties remotely, and the ingenious ways he buys houses for very little down with high cash flow. In This Episode We Cover: Creative financing explained and using it to build your real estate portfolio faster Low money down real estate with seller financing and creating a win-win for you and the seller Making twice his mortgage payment in rent by tapping into this “gray area” of his market Building his team while working full-time and managing his rentals remotely Making a fifty percent return on one very creative real estate deal The risks of creative finance you MUST know about before you start And So Much More!
