All our lives are ruled by time and it's a fundamental part of our daily routines but what if we could make time go more slowly - or quickly? Adrian Bejan, a professor in thermodynamics at Duke University says that this is possible if we just open our minds to how we perceive change. And if we could make time last longer, what would be the most efficient way of using it? We get some tips from Laura Vanderkam a writer and speaker on time management. Plus, research scientist Christian Clot tells us about an experiment where all markers of time were taken away, including clocks, watches and sunlight - and what that could mean for how we live in the future. And casino designer and consultant, Bill Friedman explains how the idea of timelessness is put to practical use in casinos where professional gamblers want to feel that they're always in the moment.

This podcast features the Selling to Health Plans panel discussion at the Digital Health Growth Summit, moderated by our very own Shahid Shah, with panelists Vijay Bhatt, Deputy CTO, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and Bill Friedman, Vice President of Sales, Zipari. The panel covers some of the most important digital health technologies that health plans are interested in and how digital health startups can get health plan executives to buy the technologies they're building. One of my favorite points is that you've got to de-risk the decision to buy:   Start small and build-up Pilots are not bad when done right Show the IT department that you won't be a pain in their neck Show the finance department a transparent roadmap of the true cost of ownership from implementation thru tangible ROI.   Some great advice for anyone trying to sell in healthcare.   This panel discussion complements several recent episodes:   Episode 145: How Payers Can Master Core Administrative Transactions and Deliver a World-class Experience to their Members and Providers w/ Steve Krupa Episode 148: Partnering with Payers w/ Andrew-Adrian Karlin of Highmark Episode 150: How to Turn the Growth Engine on in your Digital Health Startup with Bryan Loomis – one of the organizers of this event Episode 151: Shifting Healthcare's Culture Toward Openness and Experimentation with Red Hat's Paul Jones where we talk about his experience as a buyer at a health plan and how that helps him in his new role as a seller.   We focus on selling a lot because you may have the best solution in the world, but nothing happens until someone sells something.   The Digital Health Growth Summit The Digital Health Growth Summit, hosted by Actionable Intelligence Network and Viral Healthcare Founders, is an on-demand virtual event.

He has consulted for forty years to casinos in the U.S. and in England, Monaco, Russia, South Africa, Australia, Canada, and several Caribbean Islands. www.BillFriedmanAuthor.com30 Illegal Years To The Strip is the inside story of Prohibition’s most powerful leaders, who later ran elegant, illegal casinos across America, before moving on to build the glamorous Las Vegas Strip gambling resorts.The seven leaders of the three dominating Prohibition gangs imported the world’s finest liquors on a massive scale. Although in an illegal and dangerous business, these seven espoused traditional business values and rejected the key tools of organized crime - monopoly, violence, and vendetta. This made them the most unlikely gangsters to rise to underworld leadership. But they earned every criminal’s respect, and fate made them the most powerful gangland leaders in American history.In the mid 1900s, these seven leaders stood up to, and restrained, America’s worst villains. The seven prevented many gangland wars and killings. Unbelievably, the most murderous and most psychopathic gang leaders not only admired them but supported them in gangland conflicts.These were the first gangs to work closely together in mutual interest. Joining these three dominating liquor-importers was the violent Chicago Capone gang, as they partnered in both illegal and legal businesses during and after Prohibition. They were also close allies in the complexities, treachery, and violence of underworld politics. Exposed for the first time are the roles actually played by gang leaders Ben Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Charlie Luciano, Frank Costello, Joe Adonis, Al Capone, John Torrio, Frank Nitti, and Moe Dalitz.Some of these seven leaders became powerful over world political kingmakers. Allied with them in New York City politics was Arnold Rothstein, the ultimate gambler. His murder is one of several major gangland killings finally solved here.The biggest-drawing entertainer in these gang leaders’ illegal-casino and Strip-resort showrooms was comedian Joe E. Lewis. He single-highhandedly saved the Copacabana from bankruptcy and turned it into America’s most famous and glamorous nightclub.The careers and relationships of the gang leaders, who together would go on to build the Las Vegas Strip, are presented for the first time in this thoroughly documented, in-depth, authentic history of how organized crime developed. It contains 546 source notes, and many addendum’s that expose the serious fallacies and outright fictions of previous books about early organized crime.This book is based on 48 years of research that began, when Friedman was drafted during the Vietnam War. A conscientious objector, he was ordered to spend his alternative service in Las Vegas hanging out with gangsters to study the history and operation of organized crime.

Ever wonder what some of the most notorious gangsters were like in real life? Sure, some movies have been made about them, like the classic Bugsy, but, today's guest, Bill Friedman, debunks these myths. He's spent almost his whole life befriending gangsters - and those who loved and hated them - while researching his new book, 30 Illegal Years to the Strip. Bill became fascinated with gambling from the time he was 7 years old and his parents took him to a casino. It led him to become a casino dealer, shill, casino manager, speaker at Vegas conventions, researcher and author. Find out how he pulled himself back from the brink of becoming a compulsive gambler, and sit back as he takes us on a fascinating journey into the shadowy gambling world.
