In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross shares why curiosity, execution, and continuous learning are becoming more valuable than traditional credentials in marketing, tech, and business. He breaks down how hiring managers, marketers, content creators, and business leaders can identify curious talent, build stronger teams, and stay relevant as AI, search, content distribution, and audience behavior continue to evolve. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. Curiosity as a Career Advantage - Ross shares how growing up outside major tech hubs pushed him to use the internet as his mentor. - Curiosity helped him build a self-directed education across SEO, social media, content, SaaS, Reddit, LinkedIn, Quora, and startups. - The lesson: your location, background, or lack of connections does not limit your ability to learn and grow. 2. The Hiring Trap: Stacked Resume, Weak Execution - Ross warns leaders not to confuse impressive logos and credentials with real-world capability. - Some candidates know how to follow a playbook but struggle when asked to create or adapt one. - Hiring should focus on how people think, learn, ask questions, and solve problems—not just what appears on paper. 3. How to Identify Curious Marketers - Ask candidates what they are reading, what they are learning, and how they stay sharp in their craft. - Look for people actively tinkering with new tools, especially in the age of AI. - Curious marketers bring questions, data, and insights into conversations instead of relying on old playbooks. 4. Insight-Driven Marketing Decisions - Great marketers do not recommend SEO, CMS changes, or content strategies simply because they prefer them. - They gather data, ask about pipeline goals, conversion rates, customer lifetime value, and channel performance. - Curiosity turns marketing from guesswork into a structured, strategic process. 5. Where Curious People Spend Their Time - Curious professionals go where learning is happening: communities, subreddits, Discord servers, Slack groups, LinkedIn threads, and comment sections. - They engage in discussions, debate ideas, and test what they learn. - They do not just consume marketing tips—they apply them. 6. The Signals of a High-Curiosity Team Member - They research before making recommendations. - They reverse engineer why something worked instead of blindly repeating tactics. - They invest in courses, tools, and resources because they want to become better, not just get promoted. - They challenge leaders with data-backed thinking and fresh perspectives. 7. Why Curiosity Matters in the AI Era - AI is reshaping search, content distribution, GEO, AEO, and how buyers discover brands. - Channels that worked three years ago may not be enough today. - Marketers who stay curious will adapt faster as LLMs, Reddit, YouTube, short-form video, and emerging platforms shift the landscape. 8. Building a Learning Advantage - One to two extra hours of intentional learning per week can put you ahead of people doing none. - Those who invest more deeply in their skills create a larger competitive gap. - Continuous learning builds the taste, strategy, distribution skill, and human understanding needed to stay valuable. 9. Hiring for Curiosity and Growth - Leaders should ask candidates about newsletters, podcasts, tools, personal projects, and ideas they cannot stop thinking about. - Experience with tools like Claude, Perplexity, and ChatGPT can signal active experimentation. - Building a culture of curiosity helps teams stay adaptive, strategic, and ready for what comes next. —

The episode wraps with a reality check on social media posting schedules and child voice talent safeguards. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Human nuance remains un-clonable: Synthetic models cannot replicate the organic emotional transitions that define elite commercial performance. Continuous education is structural protection: Entrepreneurs must treat business development and tech training as non-negotiable daily habits. Run your business on intuition: Rely on common sense rather than chasing low-cost, race-to-the-bottom marketplace trends. Treat networking profiles like a mini-website: A professional profile must operate as a sleek landing page complete with clear social proof. Master the three pillars of direct outreach: High-converting marketing relies on a streamlined sequence: Optimize, Connect, and Message. Leverage parallel co-working sessions: Bypass administrative procrastination by setting up parallel focus blocks with an accountability partner. Retain vision when outsourcing: Scaling a business requires delegation, but the owner must always retain absolute control over the brand's trajectory. Give yourself permission to breathe: Focus entirely on the substance of marketing rather than the arbitrary frequency of a social media posting schedule. Audit service agreements closely: Talent must actively protect their biological voiceprints by ensuring explicit protective clauses are embedded into every contract. Hold corporate standards for child talent: Treat child performances as a legitimate business by enforcing standard industry rates and following official best practices.

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, Tom welcomes back Gerry Zack, and they discuss the growing use of AI in compliance and the launch of Eastward AI. Zack says many organizations are uncertain and paralyzed, while others range from using ChatGPT at a basic level to building or buying specialized tools rather than seeking a “big machine.” AI is now embedded across compliance functions, from hotline chatbots and policy/control mapping to monitoring, investigations (which Zack cautions against over-automating), and behavioral analytics. Eastward AI began as a CSRD double-materiality assessment tool but expanded to encompass broader enterprise and compliance risk management, aligned with frameworks including COSO ERM, DOJ expectations, ISO 37301, and ISO 31000. Zack describes development with a skilled programming team, beta “design partners,” and a “Reality Check” feature that rapidly scans global information to update risk assessments and support scenario modeling continuously. This combination has drawn interest from CCOs, CROs, GCs, and strategy leaders. Eastward.ai is now publicly available.

Midnight Sun Mining VP Adrian O'Brien explains how the company has expanded its near-surface copper mineralization at the Dumbwa basement dome-hosted sulfide copper deposit in Zambia's Domes region to 6.7 km strike within an 11.5 km phase-one program and a broader 20 km geochemical target. O'Brien explains the deposit's close geological analogy to Barrick's nearby Lumwana deposit, outlines a systematic “drill like a major” fence-drilling method with 50 m hole spacing and 100–200 m fence spacing enabled by low Zambian drill costs, and says the approach is designed to define edges, grade variability, and stacked, relatively flat mineralized lenses from surface to ~200 m depth. He discusses expectations for a first MRE in the fall, continued drill result releases, planned magnetics and metallurgical testing, reasons for share-price weakness despite operational progress, and ongoing but undisclosed monetization talks for the Kazhiba oxide resource. 00:00 Intro 00:28 Dumbwa Discovery Update 01:15 Basement Dome Copper Explained 04:10 Majors-Style Drill Strategy 11:16 Data Modeling And MRE 12:33 Deposit Scale & Geometry 14:08 Share Price Disconnect 19:19 Kazhiba Oxide Monetization 20:32 Upcoming Catalysts Roadmap https://midnightsunmining.com/ TSXV:MMA OTCQX:MDNGF Press release discussed: https://midnightsunmining.com/2026/midnight-sun-continues-rapid-strike-expansion-at-dumbwa-now-6-7-kilometres-of-near-surface-copper-mineralization/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Midnight Sun Mining pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

Margo is joined by artist and entrepreneur Reese Emry for a heartfelt conversation about creativity, resilience, and following the unexpected twists of life. From humble beginnings in Spokane, Washington, through adventures in Waco, Round Top, and Austin, Texas, then North Carolina and Connecticut, Reese has woven creativity into every chapter of her life—flipping a "hoarder house," opening an antique shop, building a candle business, and ultimately finding her way to ceramics. Reese shares how she's learned to trust her own timing, embrace imperfection, and let her art evolve slowly and honestly, even when it doesn't fit a tidy narrative. Margo and Reese discuss: How raising kids in a creatively infused home shapes their resilience, adaptability, and creative spirit The leap from the Pacific Northwest to Texas, opening (and later closing) a beloved antique shop in Waco to prioritize family Falling in love with ceramics, building a practice around what sells and what inspires, and living in a camper to keep the dream alive The courage to pivot, move, and explore without apology—including gap years and creative breaks Taking a chance on a booth at the Round Top Antique Show and the joy of finally connecting with the right audience Pushing back against the pressure for fast, algorithm-driven art in favor of slow, intentional creative evolution The influence of artists like de Kooning and Joan Mitchell, and finding inspiration in local makers and unexpected encounters Trusting your gut over outside perceptions of what a "clean" creative story should look like Connect with Reese: ReeseEmry.com www.instagram.com/reeseemry Connect with Margo: www.windowsillchats.com www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill

Most leaders treat their technology problems as technology problems. Richard Tarity has spent 26 years watching companies prove otherwise. In this episode, Brandon Laws talks with Richard, the founder of truCX and author of The Intelligence Within, about why how an organization decides matters more than the tools it buys. They get into how slow discovery quietly kills good projects, why sitting on the sidelines costs more than picking the wrong tool, and how some teams gather more insight in one week than others do in ten months. Richard shares real stories, including a healthcare company that spent ten months on discovery and still watched the project fall apart, and a utility company that rebuilt its customer operation in weeks after a major storm. Along the way, he walks through a four-step framework for making faster decisions without cutting corners. If you have ever sat through a long, careful process and wondered why it still led nowhere, this conversation will give you a clearer way to think about the choices facing your team. ABOUT OUR GUEST Richard Tarity is the founder and CEO of truCX, a discovery platform that helps organizations align, plan, and decide faster when they choose new technology. He has spent 26 years in customer experience and technology, guiding companies through business transformations and seeing firsthand where those efforts succeed and where they stall. He is the author of The Intelligence Within, written for leaders who are tired of slow discovery cycles and want a clearer, faster way to make big decisions.

Hypothetical Case: You finish injecting the spinal anaesthetic for your patient who has come for an urgent caesarean section. She has pre-eclampsia and her blood pressure just before you started was 180/100. Just after lying down she starts vomiting and unfortunately the non invasive blood pressure cuff is going up and down but not giving you a number – she is shaking and can’t stop moving around. Is she vomiting because of hypotension, should you give her a bolus of phenylephrine? What if she is actually still hypertensive – you don’t want to push her BP over 200. Wouldn’t it be great if you had a beat to beat continuous display of her BP – maybe you should have placed an arterial line before starting. Are there any other options that might have been helpful??? Hi everyone, This week I am joined by John to discuss continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. Many of these technologies have actually been around for a number of years now, but despite this don’t seem to be in commonplace usage. There does seem to be a recent renewed interest in re-evaluating these technologies. How do these technologies work? How accurate are they? Have there been any improvements? What are the economics and costs? Thanks John for all your hard work researching this topic!

One of the biggest challenges facing healthcare organizations today has to do with revenue integrity and healthcare compliance. Every organization is focusing on improving its revenue while still ensuring compliance. Plus, this is becoming even more challenging as the government is leveraging AI to increase the number of audits and holding payments from many providers. This crackdown means provider organizations operating in Medicare or Medicaid programs will feel the impact across their entire compliance and revenue cycle footprint.What's interesting about this is that MDaudit was built for exactly this situation. With that in mind, I had a chance to chat with Ritesh Ramesh, CEO at MDaudit, to learn more about what he's seeing in the market and some of the ways MDaudit uses its AI-powered continuous risk monitoring platform to help hospitals and health systems.Learn more about MDaudit: https://mdaudit.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Hard work on a daily basis will compound over time and show the importance of long-term training. It's not how you start but how you finish (after months or years of hard work) that is important. Just look at the NCAA basketball tournament selection committee placing more emphasis on the final month and a half of the season, as teams often perform differently throughout the season and those playing better at the end typically demonstrate better learning and competition. Key Takeaways Early-season struggles do not indicate failure; consistent hard work compounds over time and yields results later The principle of delayed results applies broadly to life — financial savings, career success, and personal development all follow the same pattern "Overnight success" is typically the result of years of sustained effort and preparation Early, easy success can be misleading and may leave individuals unprepared for inevitable challenges ahead Continuous goal-setting, path adjustment, and persistent effort are essential to reaching — and surpassing — what one believes is possible Visit ConfidenceThroughHealth.com to find discounts to some of our favorite products.Follow me via All In Health and Wellness on Facebook or Instagram.Find my books on Amazon: No More Sugar Coating: Finding Your Happiness in a Crowded World and Confidence Through Health: Live the Healthy Lifestyle God DesignedProduction credit: Social Media Cowboys

You'll learn why buying only what's blooming at the garden center is one of the biggest DIY mistakes, how annuals should be used as fillers instead of the whole show, and why flowers are only one part of long-term landscape color. Coach covers: How to plan color by season Why foliage, bark, texture, grasses, shrubs, and evergreens matter How to avoid the “two-week wonder” landscape The power of mass plantings and drifts Simple plant examples for spring, summer, late summer, fall, and winter interest How to build a stronger, more professional-looking landscape over time If your yard feels flat after spring, this episode will help you start planning for color that lasts.

In this Global Insight episode of the On Aon podcast, Petra Schmidt and Derry Pickford reframe inflation from a cost challenge to a leadership test — one that is shaping how organizations allocate capital, price risk and position for growth. They move beyond nearterm pressures to examine inflation as a persistent force influencing strategic decisions across pricing, supply chains and investment. The conversation centers on how leading businesses are building the capabilities to act in real time — bringing together data, discipline and scenario-planning to make better decisions in an unpredictable environment. Rather than reacting to shifting conditions, Petra and Derry outline what it takes to stay ahead: embedding flexibility into operations, strengthening analytical capabilities and making deliberate tradeoffs that protect margin while positioning for longterm opportunity. Key Takeaways: Inflation is reshaping decision-making. Business leaders are treating it as a structural input, embedding flexibility, scenario-planning and capital discipline into how they operate and grow. Leading organizations are shifting toward more data-driven and dynamic strategies — including pricing, supply chain design and cost management — to protect margin and adapt in real time. Resilience is a capability that drives advantage. Continuous adaptation — not reliance on forecasts — is enabling organizations to protect margin and capture growth as conditions evolve. Experts in this episode: Petra Schmidt, Global Industry Leader, Enterprise Client Group, Aon Derry Pickford, Global Head of Investment Strategy and Economics, Aon Key Moments: (01:30) What is structurally different about today's inflation environment — and why recent shocks may be less severe but more frequent (03:40) How organizations are responding in practice, from dynamic pricing and cost control to supply chain redesign and advanced analytics (11:30) Why resilience is now a core capability — not a one-time initiative — and how leading organizations are building for continuous change Soundbites: Petra Schmidt: “In an inflationary environment, resilience is not a project, it's a capability. So, inflation and volatility are no longer short-term disruptions. Companies should design operations assuming uncertainty will continue. Success is not about perfectly forecasting costs. It comes from continuously adapting. What we're seeing winning companies doing.” Derry Pickford: “The only thing I'd add is that economists are fallible and if there's one thing that we can be sure on is that forecasts will be wrong. So I really think it's completely essential that companies take the measures that you suggested so that they are as resilient as possible when we get those inevitable surprises.”

Thanks to listeners who reached out and helped clarify the rule—proof that officials, coaches, and fans are always learning together.The discussion then shifts into one of the most important administrative rules in football: understanding when a new series of downs begins, how penalties affect first downs, changes of possession, line-to-gain mechanics, and measurement procedures.Whether you're an official preparing for the season, a coach wanting to understand game administration, or a fan looking to better understand what happens after penalties and close first-down plays, this episode provides practical examples and real-world applications of Rule 5.Clarification of NFHS Rule 4-2-2Holder with knee on the ground during field goal attemptsLegal and illegal actions by the holderImportance of continuous rules study and self-evaluationHow a team earns a new series of downsResponsibilities of officials regarding down markersCorrecting errors in down numbersThe importance of line-to-gain administrationHow live-ball action determines whether a first down is earnedWhy dead-ball unsportsmanlike fouls do not erase earned first downsUnderstanding "first-and-25" situationsCase book examples involving taunting and unsportsmanlike conductPossession changes after fourth downDead-ball fouls after a change of possessionWhy "the play ends the play"Common coaching misconceptions involving late-hit penaltiesFirst downs gained through yardageTurnovers and interceptionsPossession after scrimmage kicksJoint possession rulingsFirst touching principlesThe only time Team K may legally advance a kickBlocked kicks and punts behind the neutral zoneWind-blown punts returning behind the neutral zoneFirst touching versus possessionTeam possession after free kicksRecovery rulesJoint possession situationsFirst-touching restrictionsDouble fouls and replaying downsAutomatic first downsLoss-of-down penaltiesFouls before the snapFouls during free kicksHow penalties affect series progressionDetermining the line to gainEstablishing the chainsWhy officials often place the ball on major yard linesReducing unnecessary measurementsConsistency in ball placementHow officials perform measurementsResponsibilities of each crew memberProper use of the chain clipWhy chain clips are placed on major yard linesManaging mistakes by chain crewsCommunication between officialsShort-five versus long-five situationsChain crew managementFlag mechanics and visibilityUsing whistles effectively when fouls occurA first down is determined by live-ball action, not dead-ball penalties.Fourth-down possession changes occur before dead-ball fouls are enforced.Team K may only advance a scrimmage kick recovered in or behind the neutral zone.Proper ball placement simplifies line-to-gain administration and reduces measurements.Communication among officials is critical for accurate game management.Continuous rule study is essential—even experienced officials occasionally need corrections.Host of Football Talk with Coach ChipTopics discussed:Coaching perspective on Rule 5Chain crew managementField position strategySpecial teams philosophyUnderstanding officiating mechanics from a coach's viewpointFollow, subscribe, and share with officials, coaches, and football fans looking to better understand the game.Football Talk with Coach ChipYouTubeFacebookX / TwitterIf you enjoy the show, please like, subscribe, leave a review, and share the episode with fellow officials and coaches as football season approaches.
This week on The Audit Podcast, Casey Atwater, former Head of Audit at ZoomInfo and founder of Internal Audit Collective, joins the show to talk about how AI is changing SOX, internal controls, and the way internal audit work gets done. We focus on what's actually changing in practice. Casey shares why SOX is no longer just a testing exercise, but a design and architecture problem. As systems change faster and AI gets embedded into day-to-day work, the way controls are built and maintained has to change with it. He explains why controls need to live inside workflows instead of being tracked in spreadsheets, and why management will increasingly take ownership of control design and execution. Internal audit still plays a role, but it shifts more toward advising, reviewing change, and focusing on higher-risk areas outside routine SOX testing. We also talk about the gap between automation and complexity. Even though more systems are being added, many organizations are not seeing meaningful efficiency gains in controls. Casey walks through why that mismatch exists and what it means for audit teams. The conversation ends with practical ways audit teams can start adapting now—by reducing redundant controls, looking harder at which systems actually need to be in scope, and working more directly with control owners to fix issues instead of just documenting them. He also makes the point that while tools and AI will change a lot of the technical work, relationships and communication inside the business still matter just as much. 1:42 — ControlBridge AI & the future of SOX 16:16 — Continuous monitoring 09:13 — Getting management to own controls 20:18 — AI beyond testing automation 22:24 — Practical actions for audit leaders 25:17 — Final Thoughts Be sure to connect with Casey on LinkedIn.

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus are joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Jamie Wood, medical director of pediatric diabetes at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, to talk through inhaled insulin in kids and where it fits in real-world pediatric care.The conversation focuses on the recent approval of Afrezza for children as young as six, and what the INHALE-1 trial actually showed. Dr. Wood walks through the study design, A1C results, lung-function and safety data, and the practical aspects of dosing inhaled insulin in a pediatric population. Rather than positioning it as a replacement for injections or pumps, the discussion centers on finding the right fit for each child's needs, from the newly diagnosed kid with a needle phobia to the teen trying to dose discreetly during a 20-minute school lunch.Dr. E, Dr. P, and Dr. Wood also discuss the everyday realities that shape how this option is used, including the set-dose cartridge sizes, a titration approach refined in clinic, and how families are mixing and matching tools alongside automated insulin delivery. The takeaway is encouraging: there are more options than ever for managing mealtime insulin in kids, and this one may help fill some of the gaps left by injections and pumps.Key Topics • The recent approval of inhaled insulin for children as young as six • How the INHALE-1 pediatric trial was designed • A1C results and what the primary endpoint analysis showed • Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) metrics across the two groups • Lung-function (FEV1) monitoring and pediatric safety • Weight and body mass index (BMI) findings • Why mealtime dosing is a leading unmet need in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) • The set-dose cartridge approach and how it reframes meal sizes • A real-world titration method for inhaled insulin • Managing cough and other practical considerations • Needle phobia and the kids who struggle most with injections • Using inhaled insulin alongside automated insulin delivery (AID) systems • What's coming next, including a smaller cartridge dose and a new-onset trial Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram: / tcoydFacebook: / tcoydStay connected!

"No offense, but I hate dentists." Most providers hear it, laugh it off, and lean the chair back. Craig and Peter make the case that it's actually a cry for help, and the doorway to a relationship the patient never leaves. This episode unpacks one of the biggest misconceptions in dentistry: that sales and patient care are in conflict. They argue the opposite. The best dentists are the best communicators. They understand what matters to patients, help them see what's possible, and guide them toward decisions that improve their lives. The conversation digs into the influence and persuasion principles behind their approach, why patients rarely buy treatment plans but will buy certainty and confidence, and how commoditization, negative reviews, and practice culture all trace back to one thing: whether patients feel understood. Because when they do, pricing matters less, trust gets stronger, and the hard conversations get easier. If you've ever felt uncomfortable talking about treatment or presenting fees, this one will change how you walk into the room. DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 442 HOST: Dr. Craig Spodak and Dr. Peter Boulden In this episode, Craig Spodak and Peter Boulden explores the art of authentic selling in dentistry and explains why influence, trust, and communication are essential skills for every practice owner. Drawing from the work of Robert Cialdini, lessons from business leaders across industries, and years of real-world experience, Peter shares practical frameworks for building stronger patient relationships, communicating value more effectively, and creating a practice that stands out in an increasingly competitive market. TAKEAWAYS Selling and patient care are not opposites Patients make decisions based on trust, not just information Understanding patient values creates better outcomes Influence is a critical skill for practice growth Authentic relationships reduce resistance and increase case acceptance Communication skills often matter more than technical expertise Commoditization occurs when practices fail to differentiate themselves Negative reviews are often symptoms of unmet emotional needs Business principles from other industries apply directly to dentistry Practice culture influences patient experience and retention Continuous business education creates competitive advantages Adding value first makes conversations about treatment easier CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Sales in Dentistry 03:12 The Taboo of Selling in Dentistry 06:00 Building Relationships with Patients 08:55 Understanding Patient Needs 11:59 The Spiritual Aspect of Business 14:49 Conclusion and Key Takeaways REFERENCES Influence by Robert Cialdini Bulletproof Summit Bulletproof Mastermind
