What REALLY Happens Before, During, and After Surgery? The Truth Behind a Smooth Perioperative ExperienceThe last two jawdropping episodes you heard the OR horror stories—now let's talk about how it's supposed to go. In this no-holds-barred episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, I'm joined by our very own nurse practitioner, Paula, for a deep dive into what the ideal surgical journey should actually look like—from the night before your procedure to your ride home. Ever wonder what questions you should be asking before surgery? Or why your surgeon is obsessed with your fish oil, your edibles, or that last-minute nose ring? We cover it all—clearances, labs, anesthesia prep, what to expect in recovery, and why showing up in skinny jeans is a rookie mistake.We also reveal the red flags you should never ignore—like meeting your surgeon for the first time the morning of your operation (yes, that really happens).Whether you're planning surgery or supporting someone who is, this episode is your ultimate guide to knowing what's normal, what's not, and how to avoid becoming a cautionary tale.
What does it take to build a church culture where every person feels seen, valued, and included? In this episode of Beyond Sunday, we sit down with Nan Britt, our Special Needs Church Ministry Consultant, and Brad Carter, our Executive Pastor of Operations, to explore both the heart and the how of starting an inclusive special needs ministry. You'll hear the "why" behind Bethlehem's commitment to accessibility—from building design to volunteer culture—and learn practical strategies for risk management, legal considerations, and meeting individual needs. Whether you're in leadership, volunteering, or have a heart for inclusion, we believe this conversation will be an excellent resource for other churches looking to start a special needs ministry.
Hey there, hero!Ever been asked to upload a perfectly square image as your profile pic?Sure you have, if you've created your profile on, say, ACX.com.The problem is that you're usually working from a portrait-shaped headshot, that is usually taller than it is wide…definitely NOT square. So, you have to crop a section of just your face.And if you don't get it just right, ACX will force the image to be square, and your face will get squished.No one wants a squished face.Here's how to crop a perfectly square piece of your portrait-sized headshots: use the SHIFT key while making your selection, and your selected area will be constrained to be square. Then, save the cropped section as your square profile pic.I demo it in this episode (watch the video version on VOHeroes to see it).And it works for any app or website where you're working with images: Photoshop, Canva, Preview…whatever.Questions?

E-discovery is one of the hottest areas of litigation today. AI chats, Slack and social media, and confidentiality concerns are big news. As the field advances, it's becoming increasingly important that legal professionals understand not just how to manage their own team's data, but also what to ask for in discovery. Guest Nicole Gill, author of Best Practices for E-Discovery: A Practical Handbook (American Bar Association), explains how new sources of digital data emerge almost daily and how rules of collecting and preserving data trails, as well as data generated by AI chatbots, are constantly evolving. You need to stay up to date or you'll be left behind. Knowing how to broadly expand your discovery requests can be crucial. It's every attorney's duty to understand the digital environments where important information, records, and communications live (and sometimes hide). Snapchat, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Slack are changing the way your own clients, and any subject of discovery requests, communicate. What must be preserved and what can be reviewed? And how are countries outside the United States (including China and the EU) managing data and privacy? Plus, a quick tip from guest Lindsay Polega as she explores the value of taking on pro bono work. It can be hard to take a full-time job fighting for justice. Those jobs don't pay well, and many attorneys are wrestling with overwhelming student loans. But you can still do good by taking on some pro bono work, helping others while getting back to the ideals that got you into the field of law.

Gemeinsam sprechen sie über die dringlichsten Herausforderungen für europäische Unternehmen in Sachen IT-Sicherheit: Abhängigkeit von US-Infrastrukturen, das Chaos im Patch-Management und der Wunsch nach greifbaren Lösungen jenseits von Buzzwords.Ein zentraler Aufhänger ist die aktuelle Diskussion rund um die Finanzierung der CVE-Datenbank durch die USA – und was das für Europas Sicherheitslage bedeutet. David Fuhr spricht offen über die fehlende Skalierbarkeit im Mittelstand, über Verzettelung durch Beratermodelle und warum viele Organisationen lieber „das Rad neu erfinden“, statt vorhandene Lösungen zu nutzen.Dabei geht es auch um:Die Illusion vollständiger Kontrolle durch Regulierung (Stichworte: CRA, NIS 2, DORA)Warum Cloud-Rückzüge plötzlich wirtschaftlich attraktiv werdenWelche Rolle Netzwerke, Genossenschaften und Allianzen in der IT-Sicherheit spielen könntenWie ein nachhaltiges, europäisches Sicherheitsökosystem aussehen kann – und warum ein „europäisches Crowdstrike“ nicht die Antwort sein mussDavid fordert: Weniger Snake-Oil, mehr Zusammenarbeit. Weniger Einzelberatung, mehr wiederverwendbare Best Practices. Und vor allem: mehr Mut zur Kooperation statt Konkurrenz.Hört jetzt rein und erfahrt, wie wir digitale Resilienz im europäischen Mittelstand wirklich skalieren können – jenseits von Buzzwords und Hochglanz-Slides.____________________________________________

What if you could double your conversions just by asking smarter questions?This week on SaaS Fuel, Jeff Mains sits down with Chris Dayley, founder of Smart CRO and neuro-marketing expert, to dig deep into how psychology-based testing drives better conversions. Chris shares why most A/B tests fail, the real reason copycat tactics don't work, and how you can optimize for outcomes—not just aesthetics.You'll learn how to run smarter experiments, structure content for maximum impact, and why removing content can outperform adding more. Whether you're early-stage or scaling fast, this episode is packed with practical insights that will help you convert more, guess less, and scale smarter.Key Takeaways00:00 – Early-stage testing: Why slow tests are still valuable02:03 – Why CRO is NOT about copy-paste tactics02:32 – Aim for 10%+ test impact, not 1% tweaks03:03 – AI in CRO: Use it, but don't rely on it04:10 – Meet Chris Dayley: Neuro-marketer & CRO expert05:01 – What is neuro-marketing?08:43 – The #1 CRO mistake: Building from assumptions10:52 – Gut vs data: Why founders miss the mark14:03 – Copycat optimization is a losing game17:00 – B2B vs B2C behavioral differences21:14 – Testing with low traffic?

Make conversion easier.Tweetable Quotes“If you only test fast, you're testing wrong. Great data takes time.” — Chris Dayley“The best CRO isn't about flashy buttons. It's about how people think.” — Chris Dayley“You're not Amazon. Stop copying their CRO strategy.” — Jeff Mains“Conversion starts with one question: What do they really want right now?” — Chris Dayley“A pretty site doesn't pay the bills. One that converts does.” — Jeff Mains“Your gut is not a marketing strategy. Data is.” — Chris DayleySaaS Leadership LessonsDon't rush testing—data over speed. Even if your traffic is low, long-running A/B tests are better than guesswork.Copying competitors is a trap. Their site may be under test, built on assumptions, or not even working for them.Design doesn't convert—psychology does. CRO should be rooted in how people think, not how sites look.Small businesses shouldn't chase 1% lifts. Focus on big wins (10%+) that actually move the needle.Remove content to boost performance. Simpler, faster sites often outperform flashy designs.Content hierarchy matters. Prioritize what users care about most—and test your assumptions ruthlessly.Guest ResourcesEmail - chris@smart-cro.comWebsite - http://www.smart-cro.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisdayley/Episode SponsorSmall Fish, Big Pond –

Hey there, hero!Unless you count the awards shows and box office (unfairly) as some sort of barometer of our success (please don't), there really isn't any sort of leaderboard or all-star ladder for creatives.Even best-seller lists only judge what's selling well, not what's the highest artistic quality.It's not a race, right? We tell ourselves (and I tell you from time to time) it's not a competition. We're all pulling in the same direction, and helping each other.And yet, we look at our peers sometimes, and let our brains ponder how they are “ahead of us” or “gaining ground” or “not as good” or “so much better”...and for what?It's a false equivalency to be “in competition” for a booking or a commission or even moving forward in the casting process.We can't even define what a win is.So, why not just let go of that, and pursue our joy. Have fun. Create to just create.How would you know if you won/lost? How can you let go of that very human competitive spirit?

In this discussion, Cristina sits down with Faria Anzum, Developer Experience Product Design Lead at Canva, to explore her approach to SaaS integrations, developer experience, as well as the impact of AI on building scalable partner ecosystems.Faria's Role and Canva's Ecosystem ApproachFaria leads developer experience within Canva's ecosystem team, focusing on optimizing the end-to-end journey for developers—from discovery and documentation to app submission and launch. Her work spans both external developers and internal teams, ensuring feedback loops that drive continuous improvement in tooling and processes.Building for Developers: Key UX ConsiderationsFaria highlights the importance of systems thinking in developer experience, noting that every design decision impacts multiple stages of the developer journey.Unique challenges include blending Canva's established design system with the distinct UIs of external apps, ensuring a seamless and intuitive experience for users.Developer tools must minimize cognitive load and context switching, so Canva strives for consistency across documentation, tooling, and theming to reduce friction for developers moving between environments.Best Practices for Scalable IntegrationsCanva empowers partners to build at scale by providing robust building blocks: app templates, design patterns, and a comprehensive Figma UI kit. This approach streamlines development and ensures consistency in user experience.The team collaborates closely with partners through workshops and design reviews, fostering high-quality integrations and reducing surprises during app submission.Smaller partners particularly benefit from these resources, as they can rely on Canva's design guidance without needing in-house expertise.AI's Transformative Role in Developer WorkflowsAI is lowering barriers to entry, democratizing software development much like Canva did for design. Tools like ChatGPT and Cursor enable even non-coders to build functional integrations using natural language prompts.Canva recently launched Dev MCP server, for Canva apps and integrations, leveraging documentation and starter templates to accelerate development.While Canva can't always distinguish how much of an app is AI-generated, the focus remains on functionality and quality, not the origin of the code.Looking Ahead: Trust, Transparency, and the Future of AI in IntegrationsFaria emphasizes the need for transparency in AI-driven apps—clearly communicating what AI does, how data is used, and allowing users to override AI suggestions to build trust.She predicts a future where AI agents handle more of the integration lifecycle, spinning up apps from natural language descriptions, while human developers refine and innovate at the edges.The conversation closes with a call to embrace these changes, as AI and automation free up developers to focus on more creative and high-impact work.Key TakeawaysCanva's approach to developer experience centers on holistic design, strong building blocks, and close collaboration with partners.AI is fundamentally changing how integrations are built, making development more accessible and efficient.Trust, transparency, and adaptability will be crucial as AI-driven workflows become the norm in SaaS ecosystems.For more insights on tech partnerships, integrations, and APIs, listeners are encouraged to visit Pandium's blog and resources.https://www.pandium.com/blog

Listeners will hear how Chris manages a mix of mid-rise and garden-style properties across the Southeast, his “buy box” for evaluating deals, and why being a connector—not necessarily the implementer—creates leverage and scale. Chris also pulls back the curtain on his capital-raising approach, including how partnerships with well-aligned co-GPs have helped him close multi-million-dollar acquisitions—even in the middle of economic uncertainty. Key Takeaways: Chris' current portfolio spans 850 units across 8 properties. His team focuses on value-add multifamily in the Southeast U.S. He emphasizes deep understanding of each property's operations—without micromanaging. Strategic partnerships with experienced co-GPs power much of his growth. He prefers assets under management (AUM) as a success metric over total door count. - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?
