Healthcare organizations deliver exceptional clinical care, yet operational inefficiencies often remain hidden behind the scenes. In this episode of The Backstory on Marketing and AI, we explore how operational intelligence improves hospital efficiency through digitized workflows and structured data.AI must follow practical intelligence. Organizations must measure processes before optimizing them. AI enabled Market Research thinking applies directly to healthcare because improvement depends on clear data and defined outcomes. Broad AI platforms rarely succeed in complex environments.Pointed applications with strong governance deliver measurable ROI. When applied correctly, AI reduces staff burnout, improves workflow visibility, and strengthens financial sustainability.Leaders must respect compliance requirements while applying disciplined innovation strategies. AI and Marketing frameworks provide a structured path forward for healthcare transformation.

This week we conclude Jarvis' three-part interview of Cirith Ungol founder / drummer Robert Garven going back through the mists of time to the early days of that legendary band.  Rob explains how vocalist Tim Baker came into the fold and talks about the previous singer, Neil Beattie. He goes on to tell the remarkable story of how the Frost and Fire debut album came to be. It was a completely DIY affair, from financing to recording to artwork to pressing to distribution, which was unheard of in those days. Rob also explains how he obtained the legal right to use the Cirith Ungol name from the Lord of the Rings books. It's a fascinating dive into a bygone era, at the very dawn of heavy metal in America.

In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, Guy Powell interviews engineer and author Les Fredette. Fredette discusses whether the Shroud of Turin could realistically have been forged in the Middle Ages. He explains why the anatomical precision, blood evidence, and crucifixion details challenge medieval forgery claims.The conversation explores limestone traces connected to Jerusalem. It also considers how evolving science affects our understanding of the cloth. Fredette shares how he integrates Shroud research into his novel The Shrouded Truth. He avoids overwhelming readers with technical lectures. Instead, he presents evidence through character dialogue and tension.Faith and science intersect throughout the discussion. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ remains central to the question of authenticity. For readers of The Only Witness, this interview adds depth to the ongoing historical and theological exploration.Is the Shroud of Turin an unsolved scientific mystery? Or is it evidence connected to the Resurrection?

John talks to Lee Moore about his 2025 book China's Backstory: The History Beijing Doesn't Want You to Read, which focuses on four important China-related stories that often make headlines: Taiwan, Xinjiang, the Chinese economy, and Hong Kong. In this conversation, Lee and John focus on Taiwan before 1800. Who were the earliest Chinese arrivals in Taiwan? Which ruler's fondness for older women would impact the island's future? And were there Indigenous cowboys (as in horses and lassos)? Lee takes an unusual "pop-scholarship" approach to history in this book. For example, he uses colloquial translations of Chinese texts and names (meet Mr. Success Zheng), and employs...um..."colorful language." His controversial style will likely generate a mix of head-shaking and nodding approval, but almost everyone will learn something new from this episode and enjoy a few laughs.

In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, host Guy Powell interviews evangelical apologist and theologian William Red. The two dive deep into Jewish burial customs from the first century and how these practices offer compelling support for the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin.Red details how key figures like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea honored Jesus Christ with kingly burial rites 75 pounds of burial spices and fine linen, just as one would expect for a royal entombment.The conversation doesn't stop at tradition. Red explores modern science and its contributions to the Shroud's authenticity, utilizing odds calculus and Bayesian probability to determine the likelihood of forgery.By considering over 30 lines of evidence, including blood chemistry and textile analysis, Red concludes that the probability of forgery is astronomically low.Whether you're grounded in faith or in data, this conversation challenges your perspective on the most famous burial cloth in history.

Anastasia Canonica was born in post-Soviet Russia in 1991, the year the USSR collapsed and the monetary system reset overnight, erasing everyone's savings. She was placed in an orphanage at age 4 after her parents turned to alcohol amid the poverty crisis, spending ages 4-16 in Orphanage Number 5 in Novokuznetsk, Siberia. After her father's death when she was 11, she became consumed with anger and resentment, developing a physical growth on her body. At 13, she experienced a miracle healing through Louise Hay's book "Heal Your Body," learning to release resentment and forgive. After a two-year adoption process, Anastasia came to America at 16, right as the 2008 financial crisis hit. Ana shares her awakening journey and Bitcoin adoption, seeing it as a source of hope that the parallel centralized dystopian world doesn't have to be the only option.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushIn a world obsessed with “optimal” routines, Dr. Rachel Pojednic cuts through the noise with a grounded, evidence-based approach to longevity and performance. This conversation is a reset for anyone overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, anxious about wearable scores, or stuck chasing perfect protocols that collapse under real life stress.You'll learn what the science actually supports, what's still uncertain, and how to build a simple, sustainable health strategy using the biggest levers first—movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, and relationships—before you bother with the “fun stuff.” Dr. Pojednic also shares what she's learned studying wellness therapies in industry and academia, why most people misunderstand Zone 2, and what to track if you want a clearer picture of your health over time.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy “protocol life” is making people more confused (and often less healthy)The difference between big levers (high impact) and little levers (fine-tuning) for longevityWhat to track that's actually useful: A1C trends, fasting glucose, lipids, resting heart rateWhy wearable metrics can conflict—and how that can create anxiety and false certaintyA clearer, non-hype explanation of HRV and why “low” isn't always “bad”What Zone 2 is really for (and why it isn't a magical mitochondrial hack)How to think about supplement safety, including third-party testing and the “lead in protein powder” scareA simple 7–30 day “one change” experiment to build habits that survive real lifeIf you've ever felt like you're “failing” health because you can't follow a perfect routine—or you've been pulled in six directions by influencers, devices, and contradictory advice—this episode gives you something rare: a sane framework. You'll walk away with fewer rules, better priorities, and a practical way to measure progress that doesn't depend on hype, fear, or the latest trend.Chapters(00:00) - Intro(01:39) - The Problem with Protocols(05:29) - Rachele's Backstory and Research Journey(13:06) - Rachele's Research Focus(18:45) - Sponsor: Vitality Blueprint(20:40) - Science Communication and Social Media(23:24) - Getting Started in Science Communication(25:10) - Bridging Research and Real-World Applications(29:35) - New Lane for Performance Therapy(31:05) - Key Metrics to Track(32:07) - Importance of Observable, Measurable Data(34:34) - Need for Common Diagnostic Suite(40:19) - Current State of Healthcare and EHRs(42:32) - Momentous: Protein Powder Insights(44:44) - Subscribe to This Podcast(46:30) - Basics We Can All Agree On(47:10) - Regular Tracking Essentials(53:10) - Heart Rate Variability (HRV)(54:42) - Wearables and Big Games(57:06) - Desire to Train(59:28) - Big Opportunity and Challenges(1:00:30) - Rapid Fire: Zone 2(1:03:02) - LMNT: Try a Personal Experiment(1:06:58) - Your Micro-Experiment(1:10:34) - Rachele's “Infinite Shelf” Recommendation(1:14:55) - Join The Starrett SystemWebsite | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeCheck our Dr. Rachele's courses at Strong ProcessHuge thanks to our sponsors, Vitality, Momentous, and LMNT.

Simon Dixon is a geopolitical analyst, Bitcoin OG, and entrepreneur, formerly an investment banker. In this conversation, Simon does a deep dive into the real architecture of power shaping our world, unpacking how financial, military, and technological power structures intersect, and why incentives drive global decisions. From his early days in traditional finance to his journey into Bitcoin, Simon shares what he learned about how money is created, how influence is exercised, how power compromises, and why many leaders operate within larger systems they don't fully control. We explore the difference between reforming the system and exiting it, the role of sovereignty, sovereign wealth and debt, how media and markets shape narratives, and why Simon sees Bitcoin and self-custody as tools for individual sovereignty. This is a wide-ranging discussion about power, truth, responsibility, and the practical paths toward greater independence in a highly controlled, corrupted world.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Clay welcomes author Matthew Davis to talk about his new book, Biography of a Mountain: The Making and Meaning of Mount Rushmore. How did it happen that a mountain in the heart of the Black Hills of South Dakota, in land sovereign to the Lakota Indians, came to be the canvas on which Gutzon Borglum carved four monumental figures in American history: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt? Should it matter to us that Borglum was a member of the KKK? Why are there no women, no African Americans, no Native Americans carved up there? What is the future of Mount Rushmore, and who, by the way, was this obscure New York lawyer, Charles E. Rushmore, who visited the region in 1885? We give considerable attention to Gerard Baker, the Hidatsa Native who served as superintendent at Mount Rushmore from 2004 to 2010 and revolutionized how we interpret the site. This episode was recorded on November 24, 2025.
