"Certainly, I've been anxious about data...I did an experiment, I put a lot of time into it, I'm hoping to get good results...we all know that feeling, right? The stakes are just so different here...this kid's life depends on whether this experiment worked." --Kiran Musunuru, MD, PhD One of the highlights of the ASGCT 28th Annual Meeting was the announcement on May 15 of a historic medical breakthrough: a child diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder had been successfully treated for the first time with a customized CRISPR gene editing therapy. The infant, KJ Muldoon, was born with a rare metabolic disease called severe carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency. When he was just six months old, KJ received his personalized therapy at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), where ASGCT Members Kiran Musunuru, MD, PhD; and Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, MD, PhD; led the group of researchers who developed KJ's treatment. KJ is now growing and thriving. He recently left the hospital where he has spent the majority of his life. And the day after presenting the research that led to this first-of-its-kind development, Dr. Musunuru told us that there was so much more to the story.

Can pricing really build trust?Absolutely. And if you've ever hesitated to share your prices or felt unsure about how much to show and when, this episode will help you reframe that hesitation.In this solo episode, I take you behind the scenes of pricing transparency—what it really means, and why it matters more than many service-based businesses realize. We'll explore the surprising connection between how you present your prices and how much your clients trust you. You'll hear why a lack of clarity can backfire, and how too much information can overwhelm rather than inform.I'll walk you through the five most common challenges business owners face when it comes to sharing their pricing, from fear of scaring clients off to concerns about competitors snooping around. I've seen it all—and I know how deeply personal pricing can feel.But this isn't about baring it all or “being totally open no matter what.” It's about finding your version of transparency—one that aligns with your business model and supports your value. You'll learn three key strategies that will help you clarify your message and feel more confident when talking about prices.Plus, I'll give you a simple self-audit you can do in just 10 minutes to see how transparent your pricing really is—and whether it's helping or hindering your sales process.If you've ever felt awkward in pricing conversations, unsure about listing prices on your site, or stuck in “how much is too much,” this episode is going to give you clarity and a fresh sense of direction.

James Patto is the Partner of Helios Salinger. He is a leading voice in Australia's tech law landscape, trusted by business and government on privacy, cybersecurity, and AI issues. With over a decade of experience as a digital lawyer, he helps organizations turn regulation into opportunity — bridging law, innovation, and strategy to build trust and thrive in a digital world. In this episode… Australian privacy law stands at a critical juncture as organizations potentially face the country's most significant regulatory transformation yet. While the current principles-based Australian Privacy Act has been the foundation for over a decade, it contains notable gaps, like limited individual rights and broad exemptions for small businesses, employee data, and political parties. 84% of Australians want more control over how their personal information is collected and used, and with recent enforcement changes introducing civil penalties and on-the-spot fines, regulators now have stronger tools to hold organizations accountable. As lawmakers consider the next phase of reforms, how can businesses prepare for new compliance requirements while navigating an uncertain implementation timeline?  Businesses can adapt to evolving privacy regulations and position themselves for success by strengthening their current privacy practices, including focusing on privacy notice quality, direct marketing opt-out procedures, and data breach response notice accuracy. Conducting a privacy maturity assessment and implementing streamlined, risk-based privacy impact assessments can help identify gaps and prepare for new compliance obligations. It's also critical for organizations to understand the data they collect, where it resides, how it's used, shared, or sold by building a comprehensive data inventory. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with James Patto, Partner at Helios Salinger, about the current state and future of Australia's privacy law. James discusses the major shifts in Australia's privacy landscape and the broader implications for businesses. He shares how Australia's strong small business sector influences privacy policymaking and how the Privacy Review Report's 89 proposals might reshape Australia's regulatory framework. James also explores the differences between Australia's privacy law and the GDPR, the timeline for proposed reforms, and what companies should do now to prepare.

As creators, many of us start with a hunch, a curiosity, or a simple “let's see where this goes.” Today's guest, Dexter Zhuang, embodies this experimental mindset. He's the founder of Portfolio Path and a fractional product leader who's spent the last 12 years leading teams across the U.S., Southeast Asia, and Latin America at companies like Dropbox and Xendit. In 2023, Dexter launched Money Abroad—a newsletter exploring personal finance for expats—as an experiment. Over time, it evolved into Portfolio Path, an education platform that helps high-performers grow their portfolio careers and manage their money with intention. Today, Portfolio Path reaches over 7,000 subscribers. Along the way, Dexter has leaned into audience surveys, embraced feedback, and navigated the common insecurities that come with publishing your ideas publicly. In this episode, we unpack that journey—from testing an idea to building something that resonates deeply with a growing community.     In this episode, we cover:    (00:00) Introduction (02:02) Starting a newsletter as an experiment  (06:11) Pivoting the newsletter  (11:10) Reviewing Dexter's past content  (16:26) Insecurities when building the newsletter  (20:49) Content is a stepping stone for the audience  (23:24) Conducting surveys with your audience  (30:52) Underrated parts of building a newsletter  (37:26) Actionable Takeaways  Connect with Dexter Zhuang   Newsletter: https://www.theportfoliopath.com/subscribe  Website: https://www.dexterzhuang.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dexterzhuang  Connect with Cheryl Lau   Website: https://cheryllau.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cheryltheory  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheryltheory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryllau ANNOTATIONS - The Newsletter    The edits that got cut from the podcast.

Peter Kosmala is a course developer and instructor at York University in Canada and leads its Information Privacy Program. Peter is a former marketer, technologist, lobbyist, and association leader and a current consultant, educator, and international speaker. He served the IAPP as Vice President and led the launch of the CIPP certification in the early 2000s. In this episode… As data privacy continues to evolve, privacy professionals need to stay sharp by reinforcing their foundational knowledge and refining their practical skills. It's no longer enough to just understand and comply with regulatory requirements. Today's privacy work also demands cultural awareness, ethical judgment, and the ability to apply privacy principles to real-world settings. How can privacy professionals expand their expertise and remain effective in an ever-changing environment? Privacy professionals can't rely on legal knowledge alone to stay ahead. Privacy frameworks like the Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs), OECD Guidelines, and others offer principles that help privacy pros navigate shifting global privacy laws and emerging technologies. Privacy pros should also deepen their cultural literacy, recognizing the societal and political drivers behind laws like GDPR to align privacy practices with public expectations. Hands-on operational experience is just as important. Conducting privacy impact assessments (PIAs), responding to data subject access requests (DSARs), and developing clear communications are just a few ways privacy pros can turn knowledge into practical applications. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Peter Kosmala, Course Developer and Instructor at York University, about how privacy professionals can future-proof their skills. Peter discusses the value of foundational privacy frameworks, the tension between personalization and privacy, the limits of law-based compliance, and the growing need for ethical data use. He also explains the importance of privacy certifications, hands-on learning, and principled thinking to build programs that work in the real world.

Andrew Breen, CEO of Prints of Love and Partner at Buy Build Fund, a seasoned entrepreneur and educator, believes in the power of observing user interactions to uncover the subconscious value people place on products, thereby driving strategic decisions beyond mere spreadsheet analysis. His experience reflects advocacy for addressing often-overlooked value risk and emphasizes the necessity of understanding both emotional and social values in product management. By challenging assumptions and focusing on customer needs, he highlights the importance of understanding both functional and emotional aspects of products, demonstrating how emotional benefits can strongly appeal to consumers and influence behavior. Resources Visit Buy Build Fund where Andy partners with investors and business owners Explore Prints of Love, where he serves as Board Member & CEO Connect with Andrew Breen on LinkedIn Follow Andy Breen on X  Follow Holly on LinkedIn Visit the Product Science Group website Explore Product Science Workshops and Courses Quotes from Andy Breen:  (00:05:57) "It's not about the technology. Just because you build it, they will not come. And you really do need to be solving problems for people and offering them something that changes them and their life and their abilities." - Andy Breen (00:08:57) "...these days especially every product gets about 30 seconds of consideration, you know, at the top. And so you have to have a clear value proposition." - Andy Breen (00:26:19) "There are a lot of stay-at-home moms or like people like engineers doing little SAS side projects and stuff that were turning into real businesses, real revenue, real profits, you know, something that's not often talked about in the venture world." - Andy Breen Lab Notes Lab Note 606.1: Too many product managers underestimate the importance of assessing value risk. Lab Note 606.2: Conducting value research often means holding uncomfortable tensions. Lab Note 606.3: When qualitative and quantitative are telling you the same thing, you're on your way to product market fit. Lab Note 606.4: Continuous Product Discovery has been useful since the 90's, even if it looks different today.  Lab Note 606.5: Deciding which customer use cases to replace with AI requires evidence-based product strategy. View the transcript and the full episode description on the Product Science Podcast website here.  Podcast video editing & management provided by podcastabundance.com

**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** On the first day of Pesach, we recite before Musaf the special "Tikun Tal" service, marking the transition to the new season in which we recite "Morid Ha'tal" in place of "Mashiv Ha'ru'ach" in the Amida. We begin reciting "Morid Ha'tal" during Musaf on the first day of Pesach. Somebody who mistakenly recited "Mashiv Ha'ru'ach" instead of "Morid Ha'tal," and realized his mistake only after concluding the Beracha of "Mechayei Ha'meitim," must return to the beginning of the Amida. If somebody is uncertain whether he recited "Morid Ha'tal" or "Mashiv Ha'ru'ach," then during the first month after the first day of Pesach he must assume that he recited "Mashiv Ha'ru'ach," and must therefore repeat the Amida. One can avoid this situation by reciting on the first day of Pesach the passage "Mechayei Meitim Ata Rav Le'hoshi'a Morid Ha'tal" ninety times, thereby training his tongue to recite "Morid Ha'tal." One who trains his tongue in this fashion may then assume that he recited the proper text and will thus not be required to repeat the Amida if he cannot remember which text he recited. Preferably, one who wishes to employ this technique should repeat this passage a hundred and one times, rather than just ninety. The Gemara in Masechet Chagiga (9) comments that studying material one hundred and one times ensures that it will not be forgotten, and thus here, too, reciting the correct text of the Amida a hundred and one times helps guarantee that one will recite the Amida properly. Furthermore, since familiarity is obtained after a month of reciting the new text, it is preferable to recite it one hundred and one times to include not only the ninety daily Amida recitations, but also the recitations of Musaf on Shabbat and Rosh Chodesh. Throughout the festival of Pesach, including Hol Ha'mo'ed, one adds "Ya'aleh Ve'yavo" in Shacharit, Mincha and Arvit. One who forgot to add this paragraph and realizes his mistake only after concluding the Amida must repeat the entire Amida. Hallel is recited throughout the festival of Pesach. However, after the first two days of Pesach (or after the first day in Israel), Hallel is recited "Be'dilug" – meaning, omitting the sections that are omitted on Rosh Chodesh – and without a Beracha. Musaf is recited on each of day of Hol Ha'mo'ed; however, when reciting Musaf on Hol Ha'mo'ed – as opposed to Yom Tov – the words "Yom Tov" are omitted from the phrase, "Yom Tov Mikra Kodesh Ha'zeh." Nevertheless, one who mistakenly recited "Yom Tov Mikra Kodesh Ha'zeh" on Hol Ha'mo'ed is not required to repeat the Amida. The second day of Pesach, or the 16th of Nissan, is the day on which Haman was killed during the Purim story. It is therefore proper to make some commemoration of this event during one's meal on this day, a practice often referred to as "Se'udat Ester." At this meal one should speak words of Torah relevant to Ester and the Purim story, to commemorate the Jews' miraculous salvation that took place on the 16th of Nissan. (Based on Chacham Ovadia Yosef's rulings in Chazon Ovadia – Laws of Pesach, p. 247-249)

SYMPHONI is a brand new hand-tracked rhythm game that was inspired by the mechanics of conducting a symphony. It was directed by Ingram Mao and developed by a number of undergrads and graduates of the USC Games program. This game also goes from mixed reality into fully immersive VR as you progress through each of the stages, but it's a really fresh take within the rhythm game genre as I found myself playing for over an hour on my first playthroughs. Mao comes from an interior design and architecture background, but also thinks very deeply about the game mechanics and innumerable tradeoffs to be navigated through the game design process, and so it was a real pleasure to have a chance to dig into the weeds of the process of developing this experience. This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality
