In the competitive world of medical aesthetics, many practices struggle because they view "sales" as a dirty word. But here's the truth: sales is simply an extension of patient care. Terri Ross, a top industry expert, argues that the most successful cash-based practices shift their focus from pushing procedures to consulting on solutions. Your Actionable Takeaway: Abandon the "icky" sales stigma. Embrace emotional selling by asking deep, open-ended questions to uncover the true motivations behind a patient's desire for treatment. Patients buy on feeling, not just facts. When you genuinely serve, you automatically sell.
Jonathan Drake begins a new series with the first episode of his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's An Essay on the Trial by Jury, framing it as the next critical pillar in understanding natural law after concluding No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority. He walks through Spooner's argument that true liberty depends on juries judging not just facts, but the justice of laws themselves, placing ultimate authority in the hands of the people rather than the state. Jonathan traces the ancient roots of trial by jury through English common law, the Magna Carta, and the American founding, contrasting “trial by country” with modern courtrooms that function as trials by government. Using the Tina Peters case as a modern example, he explains how judicial control of evidence and jury instruction has hollowed out the system while preserving its appearance. This episode lays the philosophical groundwork for why jury nullification, unanimity, and random selection are essential safeguards against despotism, and why reclaiming this knowledge may be one of the last peaceful checks on unchecked power.

Cette semaine, écoutez ou réécoutez l'épisode avec Alexia Barrier, alors qu'elle est en pleine tentative du Trophée Jules Verne à bord du trimaran The Famous Project CIC avec son équipage 100% féminin. Un podcast indispensable pour mieux comprendre son parcours.--C'est l'histoire d'une promesse. Celle que se fait à elle-même une petite fille, le jour de ses 10 ans, un certain 26 novembre 1989, au départ du premier Vendée Globe : elle aussi, elle participera un jour à cette folle aventure autour du monde.Une promesse qu'elle mettra 31 ans à tenir, ce qui en dit long sur l'énergie qu'il faut déployer et sur la ténacité qui l'a animée pour y parvenir : la petite fille en question s'appelle Alexia Barrier, 24e du Vendée Globe 2020-2021.Née à Paris, elle déménage à Nice à 3 ans et découvre la voile avec ses parents plaisanciers novices. Fan de cheval et de basket, elle devient monitrice de voile à 15 ans, tâte du Laser mais se lance rapidement, avec succès dans le match racing féminin, où elle évolue au niveau mondial.Bientôt c'est la Mini Transat (en 2005) qui l'attend, puis la transat AG2R, du Class40, de l'Imoca et, très vite les grands yachts en Médterranée, où elle devient marin professionnel, éclusant les circuits maxi et classiques.En 2014, elle décroche une 3e place sur l'AG2R, enchaîne sur le Tour de France à la voile, court la Solitaire du Figaro en 2017, sans jamais oublier son étoile polaire : le Vendée Globe.En 2018, elle franchit le pas et achète le Pingouin, solide et rustique Imoca sur plan Lombard que Catherine Chabaud et Tanguy de Lamotte ont emmené autour du monde. Jusqu'au bout, elle se bat pour conquérir son budget, euro par euro. Et prend, quelques jours avant ses 40 ans, le départ du Vendée Globe.Avant même de toucher terre, Alexia Barrier sait qu'elle veut repartir pour une nouvelle giration planétaire et se lance dans la course pour le Vendée Globe 2024.

Join Kentucky Wesleyan College Disabilities Services and Title IX Coordinator, Lori Thurman as she sits down with 2013 KWC graduate, Lauren Goffinet. We will talk about her time as a student athlete at Kentucky Wesleyan. On the court, she was a force—Second Team All-GLVC, the team's leading scorer with 11.8 points per game, top three-point shooter, and the player who logged more minutes than anyone else. From a 23-point performance in the NCAA Midwest Regional to a career-high 11 rebounds at Quincy, Lauren delivered again and again. She led the team in double-figure scoring games, steals, blocks, rebounds—truly an all-around competitor. We'll also dive into some deeper issues: equity in women's sports, her experiences as a female athlete, her coaching journey, and the advice she offers to the young women she mentors. And with two beautiful daughters of her own, we'll ask what she hopes the world looks like by the time they become young women.

Send us a textEver parked outside a munch, heart racing, and turned the car around? We've been there, and we built a roadmap for getting past that moment—from the first hello to feeling like you truly belong. With Shannon Elliott joining in person, we trade stories and hard-won lessons on lowering barriers to entry in kink and swinger spaces using playful design, clear consent culture, and smart hosting.We start with the real obstacles: cliques, jargon, and the fear of speaking first. Then we get tactical. Think wristbands to signal openness, craft nights that make small talk optional, and meta-games that run quietly in the background so strangers have a reason to interact. We outline the “cruise director” role—someone who seeds quick icebreakers, pairs people with shared interests, and keeps the vibe warm without being pushy. You'll hear how a simple offer like “text us from the parking lot and we'll walk you in” can flip anxiety into momentum.We also compare cultures across communities. Kink spaces often have heavier vetting and visible consent enforcement because the activities carry physical risk; swinger spaces lean on personal responsibility and rapid negotiation. We explore how to blend the best of both: posted policies, real-time consent education, and clear accountability that doesn't depend on personality cults. From punitive versus restorative responses to harm, to who should be doing the vetting, we press for transparency, fair process, and a path that actually protects newcomers.If you've wanted a friendlier entry point—or you're a host who wants better turnout and safer dynamics—this conversation is a toolkit. Steal the ideas, remix the games, and try the scripts. And if you loved the spark here, help us spread it: subscribe, share with a friend who's kink-curious, and leave a quick review so more folks can find the fire.Follow Shannon - https://www.instagram.com/authorshannonelliot?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==https://smutsource.com/ Got a burning question about kink, BDSM, relationships, and/or navigating the wild world of alternative lifestyles?

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Anna Aubuchon, VP of Operations at Civic Technologies.(00:00) - Intro (01:15) - In This Episode (04:15) - How AI Flipped the Build Versus Buy Decision (07:13) - Redrawing What “Complex” Means (12:20) - Why In House AI Provides Better Economics And Control (15:33) - How to Treat AI as an Insourcing Engine (21:02) - Moving BI Workloads Out of Dashboards and Into LLMs (31:37) - Guardrails That Keep AI Querying Accurate (38:18) - Using Role Based AI Guardrails Across MCP Servers (44:43) - Ops People are Creators of Systems Rather Than Maintainers of Them (48:12) - Why Natural Language AI Lowers the Barrier for First-Time Builders (52:31) - Technical Literacy Requirements for Next Generation Operators (56:46) - Why Creative Practice Strengthens Operational Leadership Summary: AI has reshaped how operators work, and Anna lays out that shift with the clarity of someone who has rebuilt real systems under pressure. She breaks down how old build versus buy habits hold teams back, how yearly AI contracts quietly drain momentum, and how modern integrations let operators assemble powerful workflows without engineering bottlenecks. She contrasts scattered one-off AI tools with the speed that comes from shared patterns that spread across teams. Her biggest story lands hard. Civic replaced slow dashboards and long queues with orchestration that pulls every system into one conversational layer, letting people get answers in minutes instead of mornings. That speed created nerves around sensitive identity data, but tight guardrails kept the team safe without slowing anything down. Anna ends by pushing operators to think like system designers, not tool babysitters, and to build with the same clarity her daughter uses when she describes exactly what she wants and watches the system take shape.About AnnaAnna Aubuchon is an operations executive with 15+ years building and scaling teams across fintech, blockchain, and AI. As VP of Operations at Civic Technologies, she oversees support, sales, business operations, product operations, and analytics, anchoring the company's growth and performance systems.She has led blockchain operations since 2014 and built cross-functional programs that moved companies from early-stage complexity into stable, scalable execution. Her earlier roles at Gyft and Thomson Reuters focused on commercial operations, enterprise migrations, and global team leadership, supporting revenue retention and major process modernization efforts.How AI Flipped the Build Versus Buy DecisionAI tooling has shifted so quickly that many teams are still making decisions with a playbook written for a different era. Anna explains that the build versus buy framework people lean on carries assumptions that no longer match the tool landscape. She sees operators buying AI products out of habit, even when internal builds have become faster, cheaper, and easier to maintain. She connects that hesitation to outdated mental models rather than actual technical blockers.AI platforms keep rolling out features that shrink the amount of engineering needed to assemble sophisticated workflows. Anna names the layers that changed this dynamic. System integrations through MCP act as glue for data movement. Tools like n8n and Lindy give ops teams workflow automation without needing to file tickets. Then ChatGPT Agents and Cloud Skills launched with prebuilt capabilities that behave like Lego pieces for internal systems. Direct LLM access removed the fear around infrastructure that used to intimidate nontechnical teams. She describes the overall effect as a compression of technical overhead that once justified buying expensive tools.She uses Civic's analytics stack to illustrate how she thinks about the decision. Analytics drives the company's ability to answer questions quickly, and modern integrations kept the build path light. Her team built the system because it reinforced a core competency. She compares that with an AI support bot that would need to handle very different audiences with changing expectations across multiple channels. She describes that work as high domain complexity that demands constant tuning, and the build cost would outweigh the value. Her team bought that piece. She grounds everything in two filters that guide her decisions: core competency and domain complexity.Anna also calls out a cultural pattern that slows AI adoption. Teams buy AI tools individually and create isolated pockets of automation. She wants teams to treat AI workflows as shared assets. She sees momentum building when one group experiments with a workflow and others borrow, extend, or remix it. She believes this turns AI adoption into a group habit rather than scattered personal experiments. She highlights the value of shared patterns because they create a repeatable way for teams to test ideas without rebuilding from scratch.She closes by urging operators to update their decision cycle. Tooling is evolving at a pace that makes six month old assumptions feel stale. She wants teams to revisit build versus buy questions frequently and to treat modern tools as a prompt to redraw boundaries rather than defend old ones. She frames it as an ongoing practice rather than a one time decision.Key takeaway: Reassess your build versus buy decisions every quarter by measuring two factors. First, identify whether the workflow strengthens a core competency that deserves internal ownership. Second, gauge the domain complexity and decide whether the function needs constant tuning or specialized expertise. Use modern integration layers, workflow builders, and direct LLM access to assemble internal systems quickly. Build the pieces that reinforce your strengths, buy the pieces that demand specialized depth, and share internal workflows so other teams can expand your progress.Why In House AI Provides Better Economics And ControlAI tooling has grown into a marketplace crowded with vendors who promise intelligence, automation, and instant transformation. Anna watches teams fall into these patterns with surprising ease. Many of the tools on the market run the same public models under new branding, yet buyers often assume they are purchasing deeply specialized systems trained on inaccessible data. She laughs about driving down the 101 and seeing AI billboards every few minutes, each one selling a glossy shortcut to operational excellence. The overcrowding makes teams feel like they should buy something simply because everyone else is buying something, and that instinct shifts AI procurement from a strategic decision into a reflex."A one year agreement might as well be a decade in AI right now."Anna has seen how annual vendor contracts slow companies down. The moment a team commits to a year long agreement, the urgency to evaluate alternatives vanishes. They adopt a “set it and forget it” mindset because the tool is already purchased, the budget is already allocated, and the contract already sits in legal. AI development moves fast. Contract cycles do not. That mismatch creates friction that becomes expensive, especially when new models launch every few weeks and outperform the ones you purchased only months earlier. Teams do not always notice the cost of stagnation because it creeps in quietly.Anna lays out a practical build versus buy framework. Teams should inspect whether the capability touches their core competency, their customer experience, or their strategic distinctiveness. If it does, then in house AI provides more long term value. It lets the company shape the model around real customer patterns. It keeps experimentation in motion instead...

In this encore episode, we highlight key roles that zinc plays in supporting various aspects of mucosal barrier integrity, while detailing the structure of the intestinal mucosal barrier. We detail key anatomical features, including the mucus layer, epithelial cells, and tight junctions, before discussing zinc's physiological roles, its relationship with copper, and factors that can affect zinc levels. The discussion further details mechanistic features of zinc absorption as well as specialized forms such as zinc carnosine.Topics:1. Introduction - Overview of intestinal hyperpermeability and intestinal barrier function- Highlighting the role of zinc 2. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - Four major layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, serosa- Mucosa subdivisions; focus on epithelium 3. The Mucus Layer - Location over the epithelial surface- Composition: mucin-rich, secreted by goblet cells- Goblet cell mucin storage and expansion upon hydration- Functions: trapping pathogens, lubricating epithelium, housing molecules including secretory IgA- Small intestine mucus - Large intestine mucus 4. The Intestinal Epithelium - Monolayer of epithelial cells: enterocytes, goblet cells, and more- Tight junctions, paracellular transport - Continuous epithelial renewal 5. Introduction to Zinc - Zinc as a trace mineral required in minute quantities for numerous physiological processes - Second most abundant trace mineral after iron; majority stored in muscle and bone- Maintaining plasma and intracellular zinc concentrations within narrow range- Both deficiency and excess can disrupt biochemical processes 6. Zinc and Copper - Zinc and copper as closely interconnected minerals- Zinc, copper, and metallothionein binding in enterocytes- Both high and low zinc can disrupt zinc-copper balance- Metallothionein as a cysteine-rich metal-binding protein 7. Factors Affecting Zinc Levels - Multifactorial- Possible signs of low zinc status 8. Zinc Absorption - Dietary sources- Primary absorption in small intestine - In the stomach: HCl and pepsin denature proteins and cleave peptide bonds, releasing zinc from protein complexes- Dietary zinc often bound within tertiary protein structure- Specialized transporters 9. Zinc's Role in the Intestinal Barrier - Zinc and tight junction proteins- Zinc and Intestinal Epithelial Cells - Zinc and the mucus layer 10. Broader Context of Zinc in Physiology 11.

My guest today is Carol Souza, co-founder of Area Bitcoin, one of the largest Bitcoin education platforms in Latin America, reaching hundreds of thousands across Brazil and the Portuguese-speaking world. Her path began not in tech or finance, but as a dentist, where Brazil's inflation, POS payment fees, and daily operational fragilities pushed her to study money and ultimately adopt Bitcoin as a survival tool for her clinic. We discuss Brazil's long history of hyperinflation, savings confiscation, and the deep fiat mindset that still shapes economic life. Carol explains how PIX, open banking, and the proposed Drex CBDC form a sophisticated financial-surveillance architecture, and why she sees Bitcoin as a sovereignty instrument rather than a speculative asset.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

In this encore episode, we detail Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO), with a focus on fungal biofilm formation and its role in promoting microbial persistence and evasion of host immune responses. We discuss the phenotypic plasticity of Candida species, as well as biofilm matrices adherent to the intestinal mucosa. We further highlight common symptoms of SIFO as well as the effects of hypochlorhydria, impaired motility, diminished commensal bacterial populations, and weakened mucosal immunity.Topics: 1. Introduction- Focus on the gut mucosal barrier.- Emphasis on Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO) and biofilms.2. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy- The mucosa: epithelium, lamina propria, and a thin band of smooth muscle.- The epithelial layer.- Covered by protective mucus composed of mucin glycoproteins secreted by goblet cells.- In the small intestine: less dense mucus.3. Epithelial Integrity- Tight junctions.- Paracellular barrier preventing uncontrolled antigen passage.4. Lamina Propria5. Overview of Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO)- SIFO involves fungal overgrowth in the small intestine, commonly Candida species.- Small intestines: Low microbial density due to motility, gastric acid, bile acids, immune surveillance, and more.- Contributing factors: hypochlorhydria, impaired motility, reduced digestive enzymes, diminished competitive flora, lowered immunity, and more.6. Candida Pathogenicity- Candida exhibits phenotypic plasticity: yeast and hyphal forms.- Biofilm formation.7. Biofilm Formation- Biofilms are structured communities of microbes within a self-produced extracellular matrix.- Resistance to antimicrobials and immune defenses.- Can develop on intestinal mucosa and in various other regions.8. SIFO and SIBO Overlap- Root causes and overlap between SIFO and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).- Common symptoms.9. Gastric Acid in More Detail- Stomach epithelium includes mucous, parietal, chief, and enteroendocrine cells- Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid.- HCl denatures proteins and aids in inhibiting pathogens.- Hypochlorhydria: possible causes. 10. Downstream Effects of Low Acid11. Gut Motility in More Detail- Motility involves rhythmic smooth muscle contractions.- Enteric nervous system (ENS): myenteric and submucosal plexuses.- Dysautonomia and motility.12. SIFO Contributing Factors13. Candida Regulation- Candida in unicellular yeast form under homeostatic regulation.- Controlled by microbial competition, host defenses, antifungal peptides, and more.14. Role of Mucus and sIgA- Mucosal immunity and Candida populations.- Low sIgA levels.15. Conclusion- Mucosal barrier structure.- SIFO and Candida.- Biofilm formation, microbial persistence, and mucosal disruption.- SIFO and SIBO.- Multifactorial nature of fungal dysbiosis, types of biofilms, and small intestinal overgrowth.Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.

The human intestinal epithelial barrier comprises diverse proliferative, secretory and absorptive cell types that facilitate nutrient digestion and absorption and protect against harmful environmental agents. The barrier and its function can vary between individuals due to genetic differences thus impact processes such as digestion, drug metabolism, and drug sensitivity. Our guests today investigated the effect of diverse culture conditions on the cell type composition, gene expression profiles, and maturation status of human pluripotent stem cell-derived intestinal epithelial cells in three different model systems. Their research provides insight into the relevant conditions and systems for modeling specific intestinal functions and highlights the importance of personalized intestinal model systems.

Many professionals fall into the trap of competency pride — believing that because they've “earned it,” they no longer need help. In this episode, Larry and Cody unpack how this quiet arrogance can limit progress for even the most skilled coaches, clinicians, and leaders.They explore why the smartest people often struggle most with objectivity, how pride in one's knowledge can hide blind spots, and why the best professionals consistently seek external perspective. Through examples like “Coach Alan,” they show how identity, ego, and fear of being seen as “incompetent” can quietly sabotage both client outcomes and professional growth.Listeners walk away with frameworks to identify their own blind spots, practical methods to invite feedback, and a refreshing reminder: true mastery isn't about knowing everything — it's about knowing when to ask for help.
Join Dr. Kay for a deep dive into cosmetic science with Patricia "Trish" Boland, SVP of R&D at Colorescience. This episode explores the critical importance of the skin barrier, its surprising connection to systemic health (including the gut and brain), and the latest innovations in mineral sunscreens that protect against UV, HEV (blue light), and IR. The main focus is a revolutionary new concept: stimulating the skin's own Vitamin D production. Trish explains how a unique chronopeptide can activate the skin's Vitamin D receptors (VDR) and synthesize Vitamin D in keratinocytes and fibroblasts, all without UV exposure, a groundbreaking approach to achieving barrier health and skin luminosity.
