The conversation around AI in education is changing fast, and the latest GSV Learning and Earning Forecast now identifies trust as the factor that will determine the near-term future of AI in the classroom. In this episode, we explore the “AI trust gap” forming between the people racing to expand AI in schools and the educators, parents, and students who are starting to push back. Through discussions with educators, school leaders, learning science researchers, analysts, ed tech developers, AI vendors, and non-profits across the community, we zoom in on the hard questions surrounding AI's future in education. What happens when innovation starts moving faster than trust? What is required to bridge the gap? Who is working on solutions? What's working?

AI is already shaping the most personal part of your life: how you understand your body, your symptoms, and your next healthcare decision. We sit down with Dr. Ami Bhat, a board-certified cardiologist, Chair of the FDA Digital Health Advisory Committee, and Chief Innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology, to translate the hype into practical, human-first guidance you can actually use.We talk about hybrid care and why the “first mile” of healthcare belongs at home, where real life happens. Dr. Bhat explains how to find your own baseline for blood pressure, sleep, and heart rate, how trends can reveal early warning signs, and how AI can help clinicians handle medical information overload without replacing the clinician-patient relationship.We also get specific about tools: wearables, voice-to-text documentation that lets doctors stop staring at screens, and health-focused large language models designed for clinical use. Then we tackle the hard parts: health anxiety spirals, AI mistakes, and women's cardiovascular health where heart attack symptoms can be atypical and too often dismissed. We close with a clear argument for chronic disease management at home to reduce ER bottlenecks and protect quality of life.

What if the most important thing happening inside your body right now isn't a hormone, a supplement, or a nutrient — but something you've been completely ignoring?This week, I sat down with Dr. Ali Asadi, Chief Innovation Officer at TAM Global and a double PhD chemist who spent nearly a decade at Illumina — the world's largest genomics company — before joining the frontier of cancer and stem cell medicine. Trained at the Scripps Research Institute, an institute home to six Nobel Prize winners, Dr. Ali is one of those rare scientists who can make molecular chemistry feel like poetry.Here's what blew my mind: the weakest force in nature — hydrogen bonding — is what holds your DNA together. What shapes every protein in your body. What makes life on this planet possible at all. And without water, none of it happens. Water isn't the backdrop to biology. It is biology.He also dropped something the protein industry doesn't want you to hear: you cannot efficiently build muscle from a protein supplement if that protein isn't wrapped in lipids — because that's how nature packages it. Strip out the phospholipids, strip out the bioavailability.And then there's this: the water in your glass arrived on Earth from asteroids. It is billions of years old. Every sip is the history of the universe.We also got into TAM Global's personalized cancer vaccines — designed from each patient's own genomic signature — and their emerging molecular diagnostic for autism. This conversation will change how you think about water, about your biology, and about what it means to be alive.What we talk about:Why water breaks the laws of chemistry — and why that's the exact reason life exists on this planetThe weakest force in nature is what holds your DNA, proteins, and every cell structure togetherWhy drinking protein shakes without proper lipid encapsulation is largely wasted effortHow slightly alkaline water connects to what your evolutionary biology was designed to drinkWhy every sip of water is literally billions of years of cosmic history arriving from asteroidsWhat TAM Global is building with personalized cancer vaccines designed from your own DNAA molecular fingerprint for autism that could transform diagnosis from behavioral to biologicalListen now on all platforms: Hydrate With Tracy Duhs.Episode Links & Resources:Website: The Tam Center - https://thetamcenter.com | CPI Stem Cells - https://cellularperformanceinstitute.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nanoaliInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetamcenter/Connect with Tracy:Website: ⁠https://tracyduhs.com/⁠Hydration Shop: ⁠https://sanctuarysd.com/⁠Instagram: ⁠@tracyduhs⁠Flow FAM Community: ⁠https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/⁠

If you've noticed that students seem different since the pandemic and you're not sure what to do about it, this episode gives you real answers. Nancy Weinstein, Chief Innovation Officer at Otus and co-founder of MindPrint, shares findings from a longitudinal study of 35,000 students aged 8 to 21, tracking cognitive skills from 2015 through and beyond the pandemic. The data reveals something most school leaders haven't yet seen: the biggest change in students isn't attention, which is what teachers almost universally report, it's verbal memory, with the average student now retaining roughly half of what they would have five years ago. You'll learn why flexible thinking has dropped significantly and what that means for how students respond to feedback in the classroom, why AI may be compounding these challenges, and where to find evidence-based strategies that already exist and work. Nancy also shares a surprising finding: teachers showed similar cognitive shifts to their students, particularly in flexible thinking, which helps explain some of the staffing and morale challenges school leaders have been navigating. If you want to move from "kids are different" to actually knowing what to do about it, this conversation is essential listening.

Read Full Transcript Welcome to The Buzz from ChannelBuzz.ca, I’m Robert Dutt, today is Friday, May 15, and here’s what’s happening in the channel today. Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced a major shift in its distribution strategy yesterday, naming Ingram Micro and TD SYNNEX as its two global distributors. The move transitions HPE to a unified distribution model designed to deliver greater consistency and operational support for partners worldwide. According to the vendor, this structure will be anchored by these two global leaders but complemented by regional and specialist distributors to maximize partner capabilities. The change signals a streamlined approach to enablement, with HPE expecting the unified model to drive additional investments in partner resources across its full portfolio. This includes helping distributors build deeper expertise in high-demand areas like networking, cloud, and AI. For Canadian IT solution providers, a simplified global distribution tier could mean more predictable engagements, faster quoting, and improved access to cross-sell opportunities, particularly within the HPE Networking portfolio, as priorities evolve across different customer sizes and industries. Managed services software provider N-able has expanded its executive leadership team, announcing the appointments of Robert Johnston as Chief Innovation Officer and Nicole Reineke as Chief AI Officer. The dual appointments highlight a strategic pivot toward embedding artificial intelligence and advanced automation directly into the company’s platform ecosystem. N-able noted the new roles are intended to reinforce the company’s focus on business resilience and innovation as IT providers face increasingly complex cyber and operational challenges. Designating a dedicated Chief AI Officer is a notable step in the MSP software space, signaling that AI is moving from a roadmap feature to a core architectural priority. IT solution providers running their practices on N-able can expect a more aggressive rollout of AI-driven capabilities designed to streamline technician workflows and improve automated threat response. Data resilience vendor HYCU launched HYCU aiR yesterday, an AI-native solution that transforms backup data into actionable security and compliance intelligence. Rather than relying on point solutions for data security posture management or insider risk, aiR allows organizations to query their existing backup data across dozens of SaaS applications to identify sensitive data exposure, identity drift, and unmonitored AI agent activity. For managed service providers, this alters the backup conversation. Partners can use the platform to run rapid assessments across a prospect’s environment, identifying compliance exposures within days. According to the company, midmarket customers are often priced out of standalone security tools that cover a fraction of the estate. By reading backup data as a security intelligence layer across more than 100 workloads, partners can deliver overlapping intelligence as a natural extension of backup contracts, providing a tangible way to govern shadow AI and secure data pipelines. In Brief – The Canadian Internet Registration Authority will unveil a new channel-based cybersecurity platform for MSPs at the ChannelNEXT event in Toronto later this month. Object First has launched a new cloud platform designed to help partners monitor and manage distributed data backups. Peripherals maker Plugable has expanded its B2B strategy with the appointment of Matthew Dargis as Chief Revenue Officer to build out a new field sales organization. Keeper Security has introduced its 2026 MSP Partner Program with a new tier-based discount structure tied to annualized global revenue. Montreal-based managed service provider MTech Cyber has released an assessment platform designed to help IT providers validate security protections for small business clients. Full details and links in the show notes or the blog post. Later today on In The Channel, we’ll feature a conversation with Lenovo’s global partner ecosystem head Jeff Taylor and Canada channel chief Craig Taylor on the vendor’s massive incentive consolidation and the shift to services-led revenue. And if you haven’t heard it yet, on yesterday’s episode of In The Channel, we sat down with ESET’s Cameron Tousley and Pedro Kertzman to discuss why cyber threat intelligence belongs in the MSP practice. That’s how we’re seeing the headlines today. I’m Robert Dutt for ChannelBuzz.ca, thanks for listening. Have a great day.

Eric Mayhew, Chief Innovation Officer and Co-Founder of Fluency, shares how his experience in automotive advertising inspired the creation of Fluency and its mission to eliminate repetitive AdOps work through automation. Eric dives into the difference between automation and AI, the future of agentic systems, and why human creativity still matters most in advertising. From scaling ad operations to building compliant AI workflows, this conversation explores where marketing technology is headed next. Takeaways • Automation should eliminate repetitive tasks so teams can focus on strategy and creativity. • AI and automation are complementary, but they are not the same thing. • Human oversight remains critical for compliance, governance, and brand safety. • AI is powerful, but context quality determines the reliability of outputs. • Personalization in advertising may finally become practical with AI and automation. • Agencies want customizable workflows, not one-size-fits-all automation. • Fluency focuses on deterministic workflows that execute advertiser strategies at scale. • Agentic systems will combine rule-based automation with probabilistic AI decision-making.

Prior authorization is now a bot‑to‑bot conversation waiting to happen. The only thing missing is the interoperability standard.In this episode of Tech It to the Limit, former co-host Sarah Harper returns as the show's first guest in its bold new format, making the case for going analog in a hyper connected world. She explores how the constant presence of screens, notifications, and digital noise has quietly become a wellness problem, not just for patients, but for caregivers and designers alike. Drawing from her own life audit, her kids' tin can phone, and the growing cultural backlash against smartphones, she argues that the health tech industry must design for unplugging just as intentionally as it designs for engagement. The conversation challenges builders and clinicians to ask a harder question: is the technology we're adding actually improving lives, or just adding to the noise?Then, recorded live at HLTH in Los Angeles, Elliott sits down with Dr. Anil Jain, Chief Innovation Officer at Innovaccer, for a candid conversation on what autonomous healthcare actually looks like in practice. Drawing from his time at IBM Watson Health and years leading large scale health system transformation, Dr. Jain unpacks why AI for the sake of AI has never been the right message, how data quality remains the unglamorous prerequisite to everything, and why the EMR rollout is a cautionary tale worth revisiting. He also shares what Innovaccer is building right now, from AI powered heart failure management to prior authorization automation, and makes the case that AI orchestration is the next great interoperability challenge.Tune in to hear why the future of health technology may depend equally on knowing when to unplug and when to automate, and why both require the same thing: designing with real people at the center..In this episode:[00:00] Introduction[01:21] Welcoming back Sarah Harper[03:55] Going analog in a digital world[07:02] Analog trends in pop culture[20:00] Sponsored skit: Parent Trap AI[22:34] Introducing Dr. Anil Jain[27:57] The importance of data quality in AI[33:51] Designing empathy into AI[36:22] The vision for autonomous healthcare[43:45] Innovator's real-world solutions[47:03] The future of prior authorization[49:50] Advice for digital health founders[51:01] Episode wrap-up Resources:Tech It To The Limit PodcastWebsite Apple PodcastSarah HarperLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahbethharperDr. Anil JainLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/aniljainmd/Innovaccer: https://innovaccer.com/Elliott WilsonLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewelliottwilson

Ready to find out if your brokerage is built to survive the next wave of digital disruption? What does the future of the spot market look like when instant pricing APIs and AI-driven automation become the industry standard? In this episode, Bill Driegert of DAT joined the show at the 2026 TIA Capital Ideas Conference to talk straight about the digitalization of freight! We highlight why operational excellence must come before automation, the shift toward app-centric carriers, and why even the most "old-school" brokers need to start experimenting with different tools to audit their P&Ls and optimize their RFPs!   About Bill Driegert Bill is the EVP of Convoy Platform at DAT and oversees the shipper and carrier business segments. He was previously the EVP of Trucking at Flexport and the co-founder and Head of Operations at Uber Freight, Uber's logistics business. Bill began his career in freight as the fourth employee at Coyote Logistics (acquired by UPS), where he grew the role to Chief Innovation Officer. Prior to joining Uber, he served as COO at Pillow Homes. He also spent time at Amazon as Director of Planning and Innovation. Bill holds an M.A. in Supply Chain from MIT, an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago, and a B.A. from Southern Methodist University.  

When Demetri Giannikopoulos was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, his community neurologist handed him a sheet with fifty medication options and told him to pick one. That was a long time ago. Today he's the Chief Innovation Officer at RadAI, overseeing how artificial intelligence gets deployed in radiology across US health systems — and he's spent two decades learning how to navigate a healthcare apparatus that, in his words, "is not designed for sick patients." In this conversation Demetri explains why the most valuable thing AI has done for him as a patient isn't clinical — it's the 50 pages of insurance underwriting documents he fed into ChatGPT to save several thousand dollars on a plan that looked, on paper, worse. He walks through his "red team" prompting technique, the error he caught in a radiology report where legacy speech-recognition software had dropped the word "no," and why he thinks the regulatory debate around AI in healthcare should look less like drug approval and more like how we regulate nuclear power. If you want a ground-level view of what AI can and cannot do inside the American medical system, this is where to start.

Medicine has always positioned itself as the authority — the place you go when something is wrong, on its terms, in its building, by its schedule. But the infrastructure built to support that model may now be its biggest liability.Dr. Ami Bhatt, Chief Innovation Officer of the American College of Cardiology, has a front-row seat to what's breaking down and what's quietly beginning to work. What she sees isn't a technology problem. It's a relationship problem — between patients and the systems meant to serve them, between clinicians and the tools being handed to them, between the pace of innovation and the inertia of institutions that were never designed to move.She's not here to predict the future. She's already living in the parts of it that are functioning. And what she's learned about why good technology fails — and why broken systems persist — applies far beyond cardiology.Dr. Ami Bhatt Contact InfoWebsite: dramibhatt.comSocials: dramibhatt on Linkedin and XSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

On this episode, Dr. Nameer Haider shares with us various minimally invasive surgical procedures that he utilizes as well as combining these surgeries with neuromodulation and regenerative medicine.   Dr. Nameer R. Haider MD,FAAPM&R,DABPM For more than twenty years, Dr. Nameer R. Haider has built his career around a simple but profound belief: people living with chronic pain deserve more than temporary relief — they deserve their lives back. That belief has carried him from medical school in Pakistan to operating rooms and innovation labs across the United States, shaping him into one of the most respected voices in spinal and skeletal pain treatment. Dr. Haider's journey began at King Edward Medical University, where he graduated with honors before moving to the United States to pursue surgical training. Those early years — a surgical internship in North Carolina, a demanding residency in New York, and a chief residency at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine exposed him to patients whose lives had been narrowed by pain. Many had tried everything. Many had been told to "learn to live with it." He refused to accept that.  He went on to complete a fellowship in interventional pain management, immersing himself in the emerging science of minimally invasive techniques.  Over time, he became known not just for his technical skill, but for his willingness to sit with patients who felt forgotten by the system — people who had spent years searching for answers that never came. Today, Dr. Haider is triple-board-certified and serves in leadership roles across several respected institutions, including as chairman of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Faxton–St. Luke's Healthcare and fellowship training director at the Minimally Invasive Pain Institute. But titles alone don't capture the heart of his work. What sets him apart is the way he bridges disciplines — surgery, rehabilitation, neuromodulation, and pain medicine — to create solutions for people who have run out of options. His patients often arrive exhausted, discouraged, and skeptical. They leave with something they haven't felt in years: possibility.  As Chief Innovation Officer at SynerFuse, Dr. Haider is helping to redefine what's possible for chronic lower-back-pain treatment. His work focuses on a patent-protected approach that combines spinal fusion with direct nerve stimulation — a method designed to address the very limitations that have kept so many patients trapped in cycles of failed surgeries and recurring pain. It's a convergence of rigorous science and deep empathy, shaped by decades of listening to people who felt unseen.  Colleagues describe him as a surgeon who never stops asking, "What else can we do?"  Patients describe him as someone who finally understood what they were going through. And in a healthcare landscape where chronic pain is often treated as an afterthought, Dr. Haider has become a voice pushing the field forward — insisting that innovation must be measured not just in technology, but in the lives it restores.  For individuals who have tried every conservative therapy, every injection, every medication, and still find themselves stuck, Dr. Haider represents something rare: a clinician-innovator who sees both the barriers in the system and the human beings behind them. His work continues to shape a future where chronic pain is not a life sentence, but a challenge medicine is finally prepared to meet. Resources: Dr. Nameer's website The Cox Table by Haven Medical

Mental health care isn't a new problem—but it's finally being treated like an urgent one. After years of being sidelined, the cracks in the system are becoming impossible to ignore: overstretched clinicians, long wait times, and entire communities without consistent access to care. In the U.S., the scale is striking—more than one in five adults live with a mental health condition. What's different now is the push to rebuild the system itself: bringing mental health into primary care, rethinking how it's funded, and using technology not as a buzzword, but as a practical tool to close the gap.So what will it take to redesign mental health care into a system that delivers—one that aligns access, outcomes, and economics at scale?Welcome to I Don't Care. In the latest episode, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson sits down with Kacie Kelly, Chief Innovation Officer at the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, to unpack how policy, innovation, and real-world healthcare delivery intersect. Their conversation explores how mental health care can evolve from a fragmented, reactive system into a proactive, integrated model driven by both policy and technology.What you'll learn…Policy as a growth lever: How forward-thinking organizations use policy not just for compliance, but to accelerate innovation, scale solutions, and unlock new market opportunities.Early detection & integrated care: Why embedding behavioral health into primary care is essential for improving outcomes, reducing delays in treatment, and lowering long-term costs.AI & innovative funding models: How emerging technologies and smarter reimbursement strategies are expanding access to care while optimizing and extending the mental health workforce.Kacie Kelly is the Chief Innovation Officer at the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, where she leads efforts to integrate scalable, data-driven innovation, AI, and public-private partnerships into mental health systems to improve early detection and access to care. She brings deep expertise in policy implementation, funding model reform, and cross-sector collaboration, with a track record of aligning healthcare, government, and private stakeholders to scale high-impact solutions. Previously, she held senior leadership roles at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the George W. Bush Presidential Center, where she led national mental health initiatives, managed multimillion-dollar programs, and advanced evidence-based care for veterans and broader populations.

What does real AI implementation actually look like when the hype fades, and the hard work begins? In this episode of Innovation Storytellers, I sit down with Brett Norton, President of Buffalo Construction, and Mike Gadsby, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at O3XO, for a candid conversation about what it takes to move AI from curiosity to business impact. This is not a discussion about vague transformation promises or shiny tools looking for a problem. It is a practical story about how one construction company partnered with an AI-focused innovation team to rethink workflows, identify friction points, and build a smarter path forward. Mike shares how O3XO approaches AI through a human-centered lens, starting with business goals, operational pain points, and the people closest to the work. Brett brings that thinking into the real world of construction, where teams are busy, systems are fragmented, and change only sticks when it clearly makes people better at what they already do. Together, they unpack how workshops, use case prioritization, and an internal AI council helped Buffalo move beyond surface-level experimentation and start applying AI in ways that improved estimating, accelerated learning, and opened new capacity across the business. What makes this conversation stand out is its honesty. Brett and Mike talk openly about skepticism, messy data, cultural resistance, and the challenge of making time for innovation when everyone is already stretched. But they also show what happens when leaders focus on small wins, practical outcomes, and involving the right people early. The result was not just faster processes, but stronger engagement, better knowledge sharing, and a clearer story for clients about how technology can strengthen execution. We also step back and look at the bigger picture, from the democratization of knowledge to the future of work, leadership, and community in an AI-powered world. If you are tired of hearing abstract claims about AI and want to hear how real companies are actually making it work, this episode will give you a much more useful place to start.

What happens when the hardest part of running a pet care business isn't the pets—it's the scheduling, routing, and operational chaos behind the scenes? In this episode, Collin talks with the Pixelum team (Austin, Ian, and Joe) about why pet service businesses hit a "scaling wall," and how automated scheduling can remove mental fatigue and reduce missed opportunities. They unpack where AI helps (pattern recognition and workflows) and where it can be too risky (high-variance decisions like visit fulfillment). The conversation also explores tool fatigue, the hidden cost of switching between apps, and why great software should "take away" instead of "add." Finally, they connect systemization and data visibility to business continuity—making your company transferable, sustainable, and less dependent on you. Main topics: Automated scheduling and routing AI use cases and limits Tool fatigue and switching costs Data foundations and business intelligence Scaling, continuity, and transferability Main takeaway: "Good software solutions take away versus add." — Ian Leibovici That's the standard every pet care owner should measure new tools against. If the software adds more clicks, more dashboards, and more mental overhead, it's not solving the problem—it's relocating it. The goal isn't to become a better schedule-juggler; the goal is to spend more time doing the work only humans can do: caring well, building trust, and leading your team. The right tech should reduce tool switching, lower fatigue, and give you time back. If it doesn't remove burden, it's probably not the right fit. About our guests: Pixelum is a technology and operations-focused team working with service businesses to reduce operational overhead and improve systemization. In this episode, Austin Hanley (operator and point of contact), Ian Leibovici (Chief Innovation Officer and co-founder), and Joe (CEO and co-founder) share how they approach complex scheduling, routing, and process challenges in the pet care industry.

Most providers are focusing on the wrong variables when it comes to energy-based treatments. James Bartholomeusz, Chief Innovation Officer at Sofwave, joins Kathy to break down how providers should evaluate and apply energy-based devices and why results vary so widely across practices.The conversation focuses on how energy is actually delivered, showing why total energy and distribution matter more than per-pulse intensity or full-face coverage.He explains how fractional injury drives more predictable outcomes, why targeted treatment zones outperform blanket approaches, and how device simplicity often reflects a stronger underlying biological mechanism.The discussion also covers patient comfort without numbing, the role of perception in pain, and how GLP-1 use and hormone-related changes are shifting treatment planning toward earlier, more proactive intervention.The result is a practical framework for delivering more consistent outcomes, improving team adoption, and building scalable, system-based treatment strategies.Talking Points:Device outcomes depend on how energy is delivered and distributed, not just the technology itselfSimplicity in explaining a device reflects true understanding of the underlying biologyFractional injury creates more consistent results than bulk heating approachesIf outcomes vary significantly by operator, the device design or protocol lacks consistencyTotal treatment energy matters more than individual pulse intensityTargeting high-impact zones is more effective than full-face coverageTreatment effectiveness is driven by energy distribution, not surface area aloneCombining technologies improves outcomes when each targets a different tissue layerCold air distraction can improve patient comfort without relying on topical numbingPatient comfort is influenced by perception and distraction, not just physical sensationGLP-1 and hormone-related changes impact skin and muscle, requiring more proactive treatment planningLong-term regeneration requires system-based treatment planning, not isolated treatmentsSimpler protocols accelerate team adoption and improve consistency across providersDownload the free resource here. Get the key takeaways and treatment strategies from this episode, including total energy application, patient comfort, and device optimization.Episode Sponsors:Omni BioceuticalsAd LinksOmni BioceuticalsMINT AestheticsMINT Online E-coursesLinks from this episodeSofwave

Bill Eddy has authored more than 20 books on high‑conflict personalities and disputes. He wants Americans, and societies everywhere, to keep a simple mantra in mind: “fantasy crisis, fantasy villain, fantasy hero with fantasy solutions.” Whenever we encounter another wave of chaos from the Trump administration or any potentially abusive elected official, this phrase helps us recognize the manufactured narratives at play. It highlights the endless cycle of contrived trauma spun by those in power, while also providing a mental shield against the constant barrage of fear, anger, intimidation, and hidden agendas driven by money or power. Bill is a therapist, lawyer, and mediator, and he serves as co‑founder and Chief Innovation Officer of the High Conflict Institute. The institute's mission is to make “high‑conflict behavior manageable—even when it feels impossible.” Their “About” page explains that they “equip professionals with proven skills to navigate high‑conflict behaviors in any setting—confidently, ethically, and effectively.” Bill has also created practical tools such as the CARS Method®, BIFF Response®, EAR Statements™, and the New Ways® series, which are used to train others to regain control in high‑conflict situations. The Importance of Focused and Refined Messaging in Politics Bill understands how powerful words, repeated phrases, and tightly crafted messages can be in countering high‑conflict personalities such as narcissists and sociopaths. He argues that the Democratic Party must coordinate and sharpen its messaging to confront Trump. “What I find is Democratic politicians have hundreds of ideas, hundreds of words, but they haven't settled on anything repetitive,” he said, “and that's where we get into what we both talk about is the emotional mind.” Bill notes that Trump excels at creating short, memorable slogans that stick in voters' minds. “You target the emotional mind with these really short, you know, build the wall, send them back, those kinds of phrases, and the Democrats are saying similar stuff, but all different words,” Bill explained. I asked Bill to discuss some of the basic rules in dealing with narcissistic personalities in conflict situations. He noted that trying to give them insight into their behavior often doesn't help. Neither does focusing on the past. “You'll never agree on the past. You'll just argue forever about the past, because they may be totally committed to something that you can totally show as false, but they're locked into that,” he said' We discussed Trump's obsession with the 2020 election results and his focus on rewriting past history so that he has a win, for instance. Lastly, Bill advised against name-calling or attempting to confront the narcissist on their emotions. Bill then focused on what we should be using, like the CARS Method® “C for connecting A, for analyzing, R, for responding as for setting limits” or using EAR Statements™ where E is for Empathy, A is for Analyzing and R is for Respect. He gave an example, “So if somebody's angry and they're pointing a finger at you, and they're saying, ‘Bill, you're an idiot, and you don't know what you're talking about,' then I would say, ‘Wow, well, I can hear you're really upset. Let's look at what we can do here. Let's analyze what's going on, what we can do here.'” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dr. John Brownstein has been on the leading edge of digital health since medical school, where he was drawn to epidemiology because of the opportunity to use data sets for large-scale impact beyond the exam room. He's been on a hunt for data ever since, shaping a career that has spanned public health, technology, startups, and healthcare innovation.Dr. Brownstein helped develop Google Flu Trends, served as a healthcare advisor to Uber, and launched one of the first data analytics companies in public health, where he applied AI long before it became today's dominant topic. In 2015, he became Chief Innovation Officer at Boston Children's Hospital, where he has helped turn it into a proving ground for emerging technologies.With its manageable size, nimble culture, and an administration willing to invest in innovation, Dr. Brownstein has helped turn Boston Children's into an ideal setting for testing emerging technology. This environment, which put Boston Children's on the front edge of healthcare IT for more than a decade, has positioned it to help lead the current AI wave.In this episode of Healthcare is Hard, Dr. Brownstein joined Keith Figlioli to discuss AI adoption, how it's changing health systems, and what those changes mean for the companies selling to them. They discussed topics including:The fast pace from pilots to production. Only half joking, Dr. Brownstein mentioned that his conversation with Keith would be outdated by the time the podcast aired. The reality is, everything related to AI is moving so quick – even in healthcare, which is bucking its reputation as a slow mover on tech adoption when it comes to AI. Health systems are no longer just dabbling in isolated pilots; they're taking significant steps toward broad deployment, using AI for intelligent automation, workflow support, and clinical tools in ways that are beginning to produce measurable impact.The build versus buy equation. After launching Boston Children's innovation program, Dr. Brownstein recognized that having a large engineering team wasn't sustainable and began turning to startups that could innovate and deploy quickly. But that tide is shifting again, with the ability to use AI for internal development. He hasn't closed the door on startups, but says the bar is much higher. Companies selling into providers will need to show a stronger moat – whether through proprietary data, regulatory expertise, deep workflow integration, or some other advantage that cannot be easily recreated in-house.Designing AI architecture. AI procurement has become much more strategic than investing in point solutions. Dr. Brownstein discussed how health systems need to think about foundation models, hyperscalers, core systems like Epic, and point solutions, and how they all fit together to benefit users including clinicians, researchers, patients and families. For startups and incumbents alike, success will depend not only on product performance, but on how well a solution fits into the broader technology stack health systems are now building around AI.Why culture is just as important as capability. Even with strong interest in AI across healthcare, adoption is not purely a technical issue. Dr, Brownstein notes that while demand for AI tools is high, there are also signs of fatigue and anxiety as AI becomes an unavoidable topic in boardrooms, leadership meetings, and day-to-day work. With real questions about trust and job impact, organizations will need to pair technical progress with a thoughtful approach to culture, communication, and workforce readiness.To hear Keith Figlioli and Dr. John Brownstein discuss these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

Why do some legal tech pilots soar while others stall? This session explored what it takes to design pilots that lead to lasting change. The speakers looked at lessons from success and failure, balancing risk reduction and validation with the need to test business hypotheses - not just tools. With GenAI and other emerging technologies, the stakes are higher than ever: MIT research shows 95% of pilots fail to deliver measurable ROI, and legal tech is no exception. Listen as they discussed how sponsorship, culture, and clear outcomes can turn pilots into launchpads for adoption.
