Physician executive Sreeram Mullankandy discusses his article, "Bridging the digital divide: Addressing health inequities through home-based AI solutions." The conversation highlights that while the future of health care delivery is moving into patients' homes, this shift risks leaving the most vulnerable populations behind. Sreeram explains that non-medical factors, or Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), can influence up to 80 percent of health outcomes but are often missed by traditional systems. He argues that artificial intelligence, when deployed thoughtfully, can be a powerful equity enabler. The discussion covers how AI can identify hidden SDOH patterns with high accuracy, bridge language and literacy barriers for the nearly 36 million U.S. adults who need it, and serve as a force multiplier for community health workers. Sreeram also addresses the critical need for fairness audits to prevent AI from perpetuating bias and the massive economic incentive for building a more just system, which could save $1.7 trillion in health care costs.

Nadya Okamoto launched her nonprofit Period as a teenager at the height of startup mania, hustle culture and girlboss memes. It grew to become one of the largest youth nonprofits in the world, but the fast growth led to burnout and a harsh cost to her well-being. She talks about how she learned to value rest, set boundaries and get 10 hours of sleep a day – and the moment she decided to pass the leadership torch for the organization's next phase. Her non-profit Period, one that got started distributing menstrual pads to the homeless in San Francisco, and her current startup August, a menstruation care brand, both deal with tackling access to women's health products, health equity and ending period poverty. She discusses the unique challenges leaders face in this space and the boundary pushing ways she leverages social media and grassroots organizing to bridge gaps in awareness and funding and drive positive conversations and change. She also shares her lessons from her work in non-profits, policy work and startups on how any leader can be more accountable to what their organization needs right now.

Bridging the Gap Between AI and Business Data // MLOps Podcast #325 with Deepti Srivastava, Founder and CEO at Snow Leopard.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractI'm sure the MLOps community is probably aware – it's tough to make AI work in enterprises for many reasons, from data silos, data privacy and security concerns, to going from POCs to production applications. But one of the biggest challenges facing businesses today, that I particularly care about, is how to unlock the true potential of AI by leveraging a company's operational business data. At Snow Leopard, we aim to bridge the gap between AI systems and critical business data that is locked away in databases, data warehouses, and other API-based systems, so enterprises can use live business data from any data source – whether it's database, warehouse, or APIs – in real time and on demand, natively. In this interview, I'd like to cover Snow Leopard's intelligent data retrieval approach that can leverage business data directly and on-demand to make AI work.// BioDeepti is the founder and CEO of Snow Leopard AI, a platform that helps teams build AI apps using their live business data, on-demand. She has nearly 2 decades of experience in data platforms and infrastructure.As Head of Product at Observable, Deepti led the 0→1 product and GTM strategy in the crowded data analytics market. Before that, Deepti was the founding PM for Google Spanner, growing it to thousands of internal customers (Ads, PlayStore, Gmail, etc.), before launching it externally as a seminal cloud database service.

Many graduate students in psychology, counseling, and social work struggle to find their theoretical and clinical footing. As graduate students get closer to graduation, many feel under-prepared and ill-equipped to provide effective therapy to clients. Despite the differences between training in a depth-oriented model like NARM and studying traditional coursework required for a clinical degree, one student celebrates bridging these two different modes of learning to become a more confident and effective beginning therapist. On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes Caleb McNaughton, a graduate student currently seeking licensure in Tennessee. The pair discuss Caleb's path that led him to enroll in the NARM Therapist Training as a graduate student. They also explore the friction that developed as Caleb began bringing back into his graduate program what he was learning in the NeuroAffective Relational Model, leading him to question, and at times push back on, his graduate school education and training. About Caleb McNaughton: Caleb McNaughton, a graduate student, is currently seeking licensure in Chattanooga, Tennessee, alongside training in complex developmental trauma. Caleb received his undergrad in Sports Management from Covenant College. After graduation, Caleb spent a year as a missionary in Mexico. It was during this time that he felt led to pursue a degree in counseling. Caleb was introduced to the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM) through his father Jason McNaughton and his colleague Heather Parker, both NARM Master Therapists in Birmingham, AL.

Story Transcript:Sv: Det var en varm sommarmorgon i den svenska landsbygden.En: It was a warm summer morning in the Swedish countryside.Sv: Solen lyste över gröna fält fulla av blommor, och små stugor sträckte sig bortanför kullarna.En: The sun shone over green fields full of flowers, and small cottages stretched beyond the hills.Sv: Det doftade av nyklippt gräs och björklöv.En: The air smelled of freshly cut grass and birch leaves.Sv: Astrid klev av bussen med kameran hängande runt halsen.En: Astrid stepped off the bus with a camera hanging around her neck.Sv: Hon var 35 år, en passionerad fotograf, och det var länge sedan hon varit hemma.En: She was 35 years old, a passionate photographer, and it had been a long time since she had been home.Sv: Hon hade lämnat landet för storstadslivet.En: She had left the country for city life.Sv: Nu var hon tillbaka för att fira midsommar och återkoppla med sin bror, Lennart.En: Now she was back to celebrate Midsummer and reconnect with her brother, Lennart.Sv: Lennart, äldre och jordnära, stod vid vägkanten och väntade.En: Lennart, older and down-to-earth, stood by the roadside waiting.Sv: Han var en 42-årig bonde vars liv kretsade kring att sköta familjens gård.En: He was a 42-year-old farmer whose life revolved around running the family farm.Sv: Lennart ville att gården skulle stanna i familjen, men det hade skapat spänningar.En: Lennart wanted the farm to stay in the family, but this had created tensions.Sv: Astrid förstod inte alltid hans val, och de hade förlorat kontakten.En: Astrid didn't always understand his choices, and they had lost touch.Sv: "Välkommen hem!"En: "Welcome home!"Sv: ropade Lennart med ett brett leende när han såg sin syster.En: shouted Lennart with a broad smile when he saw his sister.Sv: Astrid log tillbaka, något nervös, men glad att vara där.En: Astrid smiled back, somewhat nervous, but glad to be there.Sv: De promenerade hemåt, pratade om allt som hänt sedan sist.En: They walked home, talking about everything that had happened since last time.Sv: Lennarts hus låg inbäddat bland träden, med en rik doft av blommor i luften.En: Lennart's house was nestled among the trees, with a rich scent of flowers in the air.Sv: Det var midsommarförberedelser överallt – kransar, bär och sill.En: There were Midsummer preparations everywhere—wreaths, berries, and herring.Sv: Astrid erbjöd sig att hjälpa honom.En: Astrid offered to help him.Sv: Hon ville tillbringa mer tid med Lennart och lära känna hans liv.En: She wanted to spend more time with Lennart and get to know his life.Sv: När kvällen kom, steg spänningen.En: As evening came, the excitement grew.Sv: Barnen sprang runt och vuxna förberedde sig för firandet.En: Children ran around, and adults prepared for the celebration.Sv: Men när solen började sänka sig och ljudet av fioler fyllde luften, blev atmosfären mer laddad.En: But as the sun began to set and the sound of fiddles filled the air, the atmosphere became more charged.Sv: Diskussionen började vid bordet, med sill och snaps.En: The discussion began at the table, with herring and schnapps.Sv: Lennarts tankar om gårdens betydelse för familjen krockade med Astrids moderna livsstil.En: Lennart's thoughts on the farm's importance to the family clashed with Astrid's modern lifestyle.Sv: Snart blev deras röster högljudda, fyllda med tidigare osagda ord och gammalt groll.En: Soon their voices were loud, filled with previously unspoken words and old grudges.Sv: Men midsommarnatten var lång.En: But the Midsummer night was long.Sv: Efter många fler ord och känslor som svallade, skålade syskonen för försoning.En: After many more words and emotions that surged, the siblings toasted to reconciliation.Sv: Under den klara stjärnhimlen förstod de varandra bättre.En: Under the clear starry sky, they understood each other better.Sv: I skenet av brasan, pratade de om barndomsminnen, om drömmar, och om familjens framtid.En: In the glow of the bonfire, they talked about childhood memories, dreams, and the family's future.Sv: Astrid insåg hur mycket hon uppskattade sommarens enkla glädje och vikten av traditioner.En: Astrid realized how much she appreciated summer's simple joys and the importance of traditions.Sv: Hon lovade att besöka mer, att förstå sin bror och hans val.En: She promised to visit more, to understand her brother and his choices.Sv: Lennart, på sin sida, förstod att även om livet var annorlunda, fanns det fortfarande plats för bandet mellan syskon.En: Lennart, for his part, understood that even though life was different, there was still room for the bond between siblings.Sv: Natten följde med skratt och sånger.En: The night followed with laughter and songs.Sv: När solen gick upp igen, låg en ny tystnad mellan Astrid och Lennart.En: When the sun rose again, there was a new silence between Astrid and Lennart.Sv: Inte en från avstånd, utan en av närhet och nyvunnen förståelse.En: Not one of distance, but of closeness and newfound understanding.Sv: För det var, trots allt, sommar på den svenska landsbygden, där värme och kärlek alltid skulle finnas.En: For after all, it was summer in the Swedish countryside, where warmth and love would always be found.

In today's episode of Construction Genius, we dive deep into a powerful leadership framework that can transform how you run your construction projects — the Fighter Pilot Mindset based on John Boyd's legendary OODA loop. In fast-paced, high-risk environments — whether it's a fighter jet or a complex construction site — the speed and quality of your team's decision-making can make or break project outcomes.   Yet many construction leaders today face persistent challenges: ✅ Bridging the gap between office leadership and field crews ✅ Balancing safety and productivity under constant schedule pressure ✅ Driving real-time decision-making on job sites that are always changing ✅ Building a job site culture where workers are empowered — not micromanaged ✅ Improving communication between leadership and the front line That's where the OODA loop — Observe, Orient, Decide, Act — comes in. Originally designed for fighter pilots in life-or-death combat, this mental model helps leaders and crews think faster and act smarter — without sacrificing safety. My guest today is Stokes McIntyre, CEO of MindForge, who brings a unique background in both film production and construction technology. Stokes is passionate about helping construction leaders apply OODA loop thinking to close the field-office communication gap and create job sites where safety and speed reinforce each other — not compete.   RESOURCES Website - mindforgeapp.com   LinkedIn Handle - linkedin.com/in/stokesmcintyre/  Insta -  instagram.com/mindforgellc/   X - x.com/MindForge   Facebook - facebook.com/mindforgeinc  Company LinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/mindforgellc  Restaurant Recommendation - giuseppesritrovo.com/

"Det är viktigt att vi visar hur Midsommar egentligen var, inte bara hur man leker med teknik."En: Emil sighed. "It's important that we show how Midsommar really was, not just how to play with technology."Sv: De diskuterade ofta sina olika synsätt på jobbet.En: They often discussed their different perspectives at work.Sv: Men nu var det dags att bestämma hur utställningen skulle se ut.En: But now it was time to decide how the exhibition would look.Sv: Sofia ville försöka med det digitala, men Emil var tveksam.En: Sofia wanted to try the digital approach, but Emil was hesitant.Sv: Under utställningens öppningsdag hade många människor samlats.En: On the opening day of the exhibition, many people had gathered.Sv: Emil var nervös.En: Emil was nervous.Sv: Han ville att besökarna skulle förstå Midsommars rika historia.En: He wanted visitors to understand the rich history of Midsommar.Sv: Precis när Sofia skulle starta den digitala presentationen, hände något oväntat — skärmen slutade fungera.En: Just as Sofia was about to start the digital presentation, something unexpected happened — the screen stopped working.Sv: "Åh nej!" utbrast Sofia, försökte få tekniken att fungera.En: "Oh no!" exclaimed Sofia, trying to fix the technology.Sv: Men det gick inte.En: But it didn't work.Sv: Då tog Emil chansen.En: Then Emil seized the opportunity.Sv: Han ställde sig framför publiken och började berätta.En: He stood in front of the audience and began to speak.Sv: Han pratade om hur man förr i tiden firade Midsommar, om nattens magi och om traditionerna som levt kvar i generationer.En: He talked about how Midsommar was celebrated in the past, about the magic of the night, and about traditions that have lived on for generations.Sv: Publiken lyssnade fascinerat.En: The audience listened fascinated.Sv: De skrattade och ställde frågor.En: They laughed and asked questions.Sv: Medan Emil talade, fick Sofia äntligen ordning på tekniken.En: While Emil spoke, Sofia finally got the technology in order.Sv: När den digitala skärmen kom igång, blev det en perfekt balans.En: When the digital screen came on, it created a perfect balance.Sv: Barnen kunde nu se gamla bilder av Midsommarfirande och samtidigt lyssna på Emils berättelser.En: The children could now see old pictures of Midsommar celebrations while simultaneously listening to Emil's stories.Sv: Dagen blev mycket lyckad.En: The day was very successful.Sv: När solen gick ner och folket lämnade museet, insåg Emil att teknik inte förstör traditioner.En: As the sun set and the people left the museum, Emil realized that technology does not destroy traditions.Sv: Och Sofia såg värdet i historieberättande.En: And Sofia saw the value in storytelling.Sv: Tillsammans lärde de sig att göra plats för både det gamla och det nya.En: Together, they learned to make room for both the old and the new.Sv: Och så, i hjärtat av Gamla Stan, där historia mötte modernitet, fortsatte museet att locka nya besökare varje dag.En: And so, in the heart of Gamla Stan, where history met modernity, the museum continued to attract new visitors every day.Sv: Emil och Sofia arbetade nu sida vid sida, med respekt för varandras metoder och en gemensam vision för framtiden.En: Emil and Sofia now worked side by side, with respect for each other's methods and a shared vision for the future.

Teachhoops.com⁠ ⁠WintheSeason.com⁠ ⁠Dr Dish Website⁠ ⁠CoachingYouthHoops.com⁠ ⁠https://forms.gle/kQ8zyxgfqwUA3ChU7⁠ ⁠Coach Collins Coaching Store⁠ Deterioration of Fundamentals: The decline of fundamental basketball skills is a significant issue in modern coaching. We often find that junior college coaches spend a considerable amount of time teaching basic defensive strategies that players should have already mastered. This lack of fundamentals is partly due to a shift in the focus of coaching. The game has become more about individual performance and less about team play. This is evident in the prevalent one-on-one style of play and the prioritization of money and fame over skill development. Challenges in Rural Areas: Coaching in rural areas presents unique challenges, such as smaller schools and less interest in basketball. For example, a team might start the season with ten players but end with only four due to various reasons, including lack of interest. Travel is another major challenge. Teams often have to travel long distances for games, which can be exhausting and time-consuming. This limits the opportunities for competition and development compared to urban areas, where local competition is more accessible. The European Model: One proposed solution to improve fundamentals is adopting the European model of youth basketball, where players practice more and play fewer games. In the U.S., the focus is often on playing multiple games with minimal practice, which hampers skill development. Shifting to a model where practice is prioritized could help players develop better fundamental skills. Impact of AAU and Summer Ball: The growth of AAU basketball has contributed to the decline of fundamentals. Unlike 20 years ago, when there was one AAU team per area, now there are numerous teams, many of which are not of high quality. This saturation dilutes the talent pool and creates a pay-to-play environment, where the focus is more on financial gain than skill development. This has led to a situation where many players are not prepared for higher levels of competition. Efforts to Improve Fundamentals: Despite these challenges, efforts are being made to improve the situation. For example, in Mississippi, a junior NBA league has been established with a focus on fundamental skills. Players are required to attend clinics to be eligible to play, ensuring they receive proper training. This model emphasizes practice and skill development over simply playing games. The Role of USA Basketball: USA Basketball is also trying to address the issue by promoting fundamental skills, but it faces an uphill battle against the commercialized aspects of youth basketball. The emphasis on individual performance and exposure over team play and skill development continues to be a significant barrier. Conclusion: The decline of fundamental basketball skills is a multifaceted issue that requires a collective effort to address. Coaches, parents, and basketball organizations need to prioritize skill development and team play over individual performance and financial gain. Adopting models that emphasize practice and skill development, like the European model, can help. Additionally, initiatives like junior NBA leagues can provide structured environments for players to develop their skills. Without these efforts, the foundation of basketball will continue to erode, affecting the future of the sport. Thank you for listening to this episode of High School Hoops.

Episode 248: At Dominion Energy, keeping the lights on isn't just a priority—it's the single biggest driver of customer experience. But as customer expectations continue to evolve, the bar keeps rising. Customers don't just want to know when their power will be back, they want to know why it is out. And they expect that experience to be as seamless, informed, and intuitive as downloading and using their favorite mobile apps. Meeting those expectations requires transparency, empathy, and a companywide commitment to service. In this episode, Utibe Bassey, vice president of customer experience, shares how Dominion Energy's mission-driven culture empowers this commitment, and how the company is harnessing tools like NPS Prism to better understand what customers need and how they perceive the service they receive—especially during critical moments like outages. That feedback helps teams act faster, communicate better, and focus on what really matters to customers. And it is, truly, a team sport. From operations and audit to communications and compliance, delivering a great experience takes cross-functional alignment and a shared sense of purpose. It's a culture where colleagues often rotate into different areas to build a greater understanding of the customer experience. Through data-driven decision making, a customer-centric mission, and an “all in” commitment to serve, Dominion is proving that customer-centricity can be a utility's greatest source of power.  Key Topics Covered: Communicating clearly about service disruptions Aligning teams around the customer journey Bridging the gap between customer perception and reality NPS Prism as a tool to inspire and inform improvements Meeting rising customer expectations in a utility context The value of empathy and transparency in customer communications Cross-functional teamwork and shared CX goals Strengthening a customer-centric culture Guest: Utibe Bassey, Vice President of Customer Experience, Dominion Energy Host: Rob Markey, Partner, Bain & Company Give Us Feedback: Help us improve the podcast. Want to get in touch? Send a note to host Rob Markey. Notable Quotes: [6:00] “We have a term that we say, ‘all in service,' because we're all in service of the customer. We want people, whether they're front line facing or they're in audit, supply chain, or ethics, to connect the dots between … even if it's three or four steps removed, it impacts how customers see our company.” [13:00] “The main thing our team tries to keep front and center for all of our stakeholders is that we need a shared outcome.” [32:00] “When you have an organization whose colleagues think about the customer in a way that connects themselves to the customer, even personally, this stuff is like wildfire.” Additional Resources: Bain & Company's Case Study with Dominion Energy: How a National Leader Turned CX Ideas into Action with NPS Prism

Bridging the AI Readiness Gap: Kyndryl Urges Enterprises to Invest in People, Not Just Platforms, Podcast

"Organizations are eager to adopt AI — but 71% of leaders say their workforce isn't ready." — Paul Savill, Global Practice Leader, Network and Edge, Kyndryl At Cisco Live 2025 in San Diego, Paul Savill, Global Practice Leader for Network and Edge at Kyndryl, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to spotlight a critical — and often overlooked — component of AI transformation: people readiness. While 95% of enterprise leaders say they're using AI, Kyndryl's latest People Readiness Report reveals a stark disconnect: 71% of those same leaders believe their workforce is not prepared to make full use of the technology. As the world's largest IT managed services provider, Kyndryl supports global enterprises with full-stack IT solutions — and people remain at the heart of that mission. “Our 80,000 engineers and technicians are on the front lines of IT transformation,” said Savill. “Understanding how ready they are — and helping them become more ready — is essential.” The report, based on a global survey of CIOs, CTOs, and CEOs, also uncovered tension at the executive level: 43% of CEOs said external hiring is the top strategy for bridging AI skills gaps. But only 16% of CIOs/CTOs agree, instead prioritizing internal reskilling. According to Savill, this internal approach includes developing cross-functional expertise, especially as networking, security, and cloud operations rapidly converge. “We're merging roles, job descriptions, and even operational centers,” he noted. “Networking professionals need to understand security. Security teams need to understand cloud.” Savill also emphasized the importance of breaking down silos to prevent cloud misconfigurations — a leading cause of security breaches. “Misconfigurations often stem from a lack of collaboration across teams. Training people to work across domains is critical.” Kyndryl's work with Cisco, particularly in data center networking and edge services, now extends into AI and even quantum computing readiness. These next-gen technologies, Savill warned, require not just platform adoption but deep workforce transformation to be deployed securely and effectively. As AI adoption accelerates, data quality becomes the cornerstone of success. “You can't train an effective AI with bad data,” said Savill. “Foundational work around data integrity, structure, and governance is as important as the AI tools themselves.” The podcast concluded with a reflection on AI anxiety in the workplace — and a message of optimism. “There are legitimate concerns about job displacement,” Savill acknowledged. “But our research shows that most technical leaders want to reskill their existing teams. And when companies invest in their people, the results will be extraordinary.” For more information, visit kyndryl.com.

“Most things when it comes to corporate sustainability do not happen in a vacuum. I am part of an environmental sustainability team, but we would not be able to accomplish anything without our energy teams, our network teams, and more. The ability to take what can be a complex idea and translate that into a compelling business case often comes down to dollars and cents. While it takes time, that's how we've been able to drive change.” Rosie Austin on Electric Ladies Podcast  In a poll at The Earth Day Women's Summit in Dallas, Texas, 100% of respondents said that business is not doing enough to address the climate crisis. With climate change fuelling more frequent and ferocious weather events, and the current U.S. federal leadership defunding climate- and clean energy-related initiatives, businesses now have an opportunity, and a responsibility, to lead. Will they? The good news is, many of them are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint and increase their climate resilience. How? Listen to this live recording of a session at The Earth Day Women's Summit at Earthx2025 with a panel moderated by Electric Ladies Podcast's Joan Michelson.   You'll hear how businesses are keeping the momentum going and stepping in where federal leadership has stepped back.  The panel includes: Danielle Azoulay, Founder, The CSO Shop and former head of CSR and Sustainability at L'Oreal and at Bed, Bath & Beyond, who shares insights into what consumers care about, and how this is shaping business decisions. Helle Bank Jørgensen, CEO and Founder of Competent Boards training programs, on the importance of boards in keeping businesses focused on the long term. Jana Gerber, President, Microgrid North America at Schneider Electric, on what companies are focusing on to meet their climate goals. Rosie Austin, Principal Program Manager - Global ESG Reporting at AT&T, on why resilience doesn't occur in a vacuum. Joan Michelson, Executive Producer of The Earth Day Women's Summit and host of Electric Ladies Podcast.  “If you look five years out, 10 years out, what is it that you want to look back at and say, Yes, I was part of this, or, or I did this. There's a ton of roles if you look at these 17 biggest pain points in the world (the 17 sustainable development goals). Where is it that I can make a difference? I want to educate myself in this, so I can go out and help organizations, perhaps even the organization that you are working in right now.” Helle Bank Jørgensen on Electric Ladies podcast You'll also like: Marci Jenks, Eco Material Technologies, on green cement innovations.
