In this episode I interview Gurunam Atwal. Gurunam Kaur Atwal, also known as “Gaia" was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, where she grew up immersed in the rich traditions of yoga, Ayurveda, and kirtan from the Sikh lineage. These early experiences laid the foundation for her deep connection to music and its sacred power to heal, inspire, and unite. Her journey has been a fusion of ancient spiritual practices and modern creativity, blending her roots in Kundalini yoga, North Indian dance, and devotional singing with her passion for the transformative potential of electronic music. As a multidimensional artist and DJ, she explores music as a universal language, a pathway to self-expression, and a tool for collective healing. Her intention is to craft safe, expansive spaces where people can connect to their authentic selves, move energy, and co-create moments of presence and joy. Whether through live singing, spoken word, or eclectic soundscapes, she brings an experimental and intuitive approach to her sets, allowing the energy of the moment to guide the experience. Beyond music, she is passionate about fostering conversations around wellness, spirituality, and living in harmony with the earth. It's an honor to share this journey, weaving together traditions and innovations to inspire connection and transformation.

Calling all teachers! Do you need a boost of confidence in your career? Are you ready to take your profession to the next level? This is the episode for you! In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood welcome back Dr. Kulvarn Atwal, an educator, principal, and author of The Thinking School and The Thinking Teacher. The Thinking Teacher was written to share the findings of Kulvarn's doctoral research, which highlights how educators can create a more expansive learning environment through quality teaching. Listen in to learn how you can take charge of your own professional learning, transform your mindset around teaching, and boost your confidence and resilience as an educator. In England, 33% of teachers leave the teaching profession within five years. So, Kulvarn has made it his mission to figure out how we can help teachers enjoy teaching more and make it a long-lasting career. Tune in as Kulvarn shares powerful, research-backed advice for new teachers and teachers who want to leave the profession. He speaks on how schools and teachers can continue innovating and fueling creativity after the pandemic is over. Then, he highlights the importance of teacher agency in their professional development and how that impacts students. “Sometimes, we look at other education systems and think, what is their magic ingredient? It's not magic. Just improve the quality of teaching. So, this is about them taking charge for themselves, empowering themselves, and giving them the confidence to know what they're doing.” – Dr. Kulvarn Atwal Kulvarn's Tips for Teachers and Parents: Look outside of your classroom for inspiration. Take as many risks with your practice as you can. Don't be afraid of getting things wrong, making mistakes, and failing. Be yourself and share with your students what you're doing to fuel creativity.

Harvinder Atwal, Group Data Director at MoneySupermarket, shares how DataOps principles have dramatically enhanced the productivity of the group's data function Adopting DataOps practices has helped MoneySupermarket's data function drive significant productivity gains in recent years. The results have been so good, MoneySupermarket Group Data Director Harvinder Atwal decided to chronicle his experiences in his book, Practical DataOps: Delivering Agile Data Science at Scale. In this episode of the Business of Data podcast, he outlines the key principles that define DataOps and shares how adopting a ‘data products' mindset is helping his team drive business results more effectively. “For us, DataOps is data analytics – in its broadest sense, including data science and AI – combined with ‘lean thinking',” he explains. “The creation of data products is key.” What DataOps and DevOps Have in Common There are two strands to the DataOps concept of ‘lean thinking'. One is about looking at processes, making them more efficient and adapting to change. The other is DevOps. Atwal explains that DevOps has its roots in the historic tension between software developers and operations professionals. While developers want to innovate and improve applications, this can create challenges for operations people, who need to make sure things run in production reliably. “The challenge was that you get to a place where the operations people are maintaining a really brittle product in production,” he explains. “DevOps is there to make sure that these things [don't] happen.” Instead of developing apps as giant ‘monoliths', DevOps breaks them down into independent constituent parts. These can then be iterated rapidly to incrementally improve their performance. Harvinder notes that a key step in applying ‘lean thinking' principles to data and analytics is making the switch from a ‘project' to a ‘product' mindset. Rather than starting with data and trawling it for insights, data teams should start with a ‘desired outcome' and go from there. “Traditionally, the way people have approached using data is to think about actionable insights,” he says. “ So, ‘What can we find in the data that will produce some insights and create a recommendation?'” “It's about flipping everything on its head,” he continues. “We'll take an outcome and say, ‘What kind of data product can we build that will deliver that outcome?'” Key Takeaways · Adopt a ‘data products' mindset. Data teams should start with a business challenge and design a data product that achieves a predefined desired outcome · Streamline the data product pipeline. Use ‘lean thinking' principles to find bottlenecks in existing business processes and find ways to make the data pipeline more efficient · Continuously integrate; continuously develop. Rapidly iterate data products to add in new features, reduce model scoring latency and drive better business outcomes
Your DNA holds many secrets. Why do drugs work on some people and not on others? Why are conditions expressed so differently in different family members? How might hypermobility disorders, dysautonomia (like POTS) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) be related and how does coronavirus fit into all of this? Listen in as top geneticist, Dr. Paldeep Atwal, shared his expertise on the following: Hypermobility disorders - Why are Bendy people so different from each other yet can also share many common traits? Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes - Why is it taking so long to find “the hEDS gene” Epigenetics - How much of a difference do our day to day choices make? Genetic and pharmacogenetic testing - Why do the testing if you cannot change the outcome?Important note: The discussion about nutrition and intermittent fasting refers to the body of research with subjects from the general population.
