Podcasts about data driven

On this episode of Data Driven, hosts Frank La Vigne and Leonard celebrate a major milestone: the 30th anniversary of Franksworld.com, one of the OGs of tech blogging that's survived multiple browser wars, dot-com crashes, and the relentless march of Internet time. Joined by guest Saket Saurabh, they dive into the rapidly evolving landscape of AI, data science, and technology, comparing today's AI boom to previous tech bubbles and exploring trends in sovereign AI, data sovereignty, and global competition in quantum computing.The conversation takes us from the days of hand-coded HTML uphill in both directions, to modern challenges like scheduling snafus, rapid automation, and the possibilities (and pitfalls) brought on by artificial intelligence. Along the way, Frank and Saket reflect on the cycles of tech innovation, the impact of global politics on data and AI, and what it really means to adopt new technology mindsets.Tune in for a lively ride through tech history, lessons learned, and a discussion on how a scrappy few—and a little help from AI—can rival teams of seventy. If you're curious about what's next in AI, data, or you just want a dose of digital nostalgia and practical insight, this episode's for you.LinksFranksWorld.com -http://www.FranksWorld.comWho Moved My Cheese -https://amzn.to/4oeqGvsImpact Quantum Global Report -https://impactquantum.com/GlobalReport/Impact Quantum Podcast -https://impactquantum.com/AutonomousWarfare.ai -https://autonomouswarfare.ai/Some links may be affiliate links.Time Stamps00:00 Grok 4 Daily Updates05:22 "AI Bubble: Caution and Trends"12:10 "X64 Chips and Tech Rivalry"19:49 "Appreciating Thoughtful Scientific Content"25:34 "History's Arcs and Overcorrections"27:24 "Unique Identity Beyond Models"32:03 "Reexamining Privacy Awareness"41:22 "Geopolitical Prudence and Resources"47:49 "AI, Podcasts, and Off-Roading"50:37 "Talking Recycling Bin Origins"54:37 "AI as a Multilingual Solution"59:49 Reinventing MCP and Context Memory01:05:12 "Artistic Talent Meets Engineering"01:14:08 "Data, AI, and Mastermind Insights"

In this episode of The Story of a Brand Show, I sit down with Lauren Kleinman, Founder of Dreamday and Co-founder of Quality Media. Lauren shares her journey from working at Ritual and Scopely to building not just one, but two thriving agencies that are reshaping how brands approach PR, affiliate, and paid media. Her story is rooted in curiosity, courage, and a clear vision for how the media landscape is evolving. What stood out to me is how Lauren built Dreamday around the idea of “performance PR,” combining traditional press with measurable ROI through affiliate links. Then, she and her partners created Quality Media to bring media buying, creative, and paid amplification under one roof.  Together, the agencies form a closed loop where press, content, and paid all fuel each other, driving growth and brand equity in ways most agencies can't match. Here are some highlights from our conversation: * How Dreamday coined the concept of “performance PR” and why it's more relevant than ever.   * The origin story of Quality Media and its unique performance publishing model powered by The Quality Edit.   * Why the media landscape is shifting to diversified channels, such as TikTok, Substack, and even ChatGPT search.   * How AI is reshaping agency work and why Lauren calls Dreamday and Quality Media “people-first, AI-enabled agencies.”   * Lauren's personal journey as a mom, yoga teacher, and leader striving to create workplaces that become the highlight of her team's careers.   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to the full episode to hear how Lauren is building intentional, future-ready agencies while staying grounded as a leader. This is a must-listen for founders, marketers, and anyone curious about the future of brand storytelling and performance marketing.   For more on Dreamday, visit: https://www.dreamday.la/ For more on Quality Media, visit:  https://www.qualitymedia.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this! * Today's Sponsors: Saral - The Influencer OS: https://www.getsaral.com/demo SARAL is the all-in-one influencer platform that finds brand-aligned creators, automates outreach, and manages everything in one place.

In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Diane C. McLaughlin, DNP, AGACNP-BC, CCRN, FCCM, welcomes guests Kaitlin M. Alexander, PharmD, BCCCP, and Ankit Sakhuja, MD, MS, FCCM, from SCCM's Leadership, Empowerment, and Development (LEAD) Program, to discuss the use of AI in critical care education and clinical practice. Dr. Alexander is a clinical associate professor in the Department of Pharmacy Education and Practice at University of Florida. Dr. Sakhuja is the director of artificial intelligence and informatics at the Institute for Critical Care Medicine and director of clinical informatics research in the Division of Data-Driven and Digital Medicine. The discussion highlights how critical care educators and clinicians benefit from learning how to use AI and understanding its benefits and limitations. Incorporating AI into critical care education teaches students how to use AI responsibly in school and later in clinical practice. Clinicians should understand the utility of different AI models for patient care and be well versed in the ethical and legal treatment of patient data. Drs. Alexander and Sakhuja provide examples of practical uses for AI in critical care. AI can help students test their knowledge with interactive case simulations paired with discussion with instructors and peers. AI can analyze vast amounts of patient data, supporting clinical decision-making. The guests encourage clinicians and educators in critical care to engage with AI and contribute to its responsible use. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the uses of AI.

Welcome to another episode of Data Driven, where we dive deep into how data and AI are shaping—sometimes shaking—the modern world. In this episode, hosts Frank La Vigne, Andy Leonard, and Carmen Li sit down with Carmen Lee, the trailblazing CEO of Silicon Data and a former Bloomberg data aficionado.Carmen's on a mission to bring clarity to the wild west of GPU compute markets, and she shares with us how she's turning raw compute into a true tradable commodity—think futures markets for GPUs, the “Bloomberg terminal” for AI infrastructure, and perhaps even a Carfax for your next used GPU cluster.Together, they explore everything from why AI startups struggle with fluctuating margins, to the crucial role TSMC plays in the world economy, all the way to the data transparency that might be the missing piece in AI's explosive growth. Whether you're curious about benchmarking GPUs, tokenomics, managing infrastructure costs, or just want a glimpse into the future of data markets, this one's for you.Stay tuned for a fascinating conversation on normalizing chaos, hedging tech costs, geeking out over hardware, and even a few laughs about used GPU “car lots” in Virginia.

I wanted this conversation to do two things at once. First, ground the hype in real practice. Second, show how a small country can punch well above its weight by connecting industry, academia, and government with purpose. With Chantelle Kiernan from IDA Ireland and Stephen Flannagan from Eli Lilly and Company, we explored what digital transformation really looks like on the factory floor in Ireland, why talent is the engine behind it, and how cross-sector collaboration is turning ideas into measurable outcomes. Ireland's manufacturing base employs hundreds of thousands and fuels exports, yet what stands out is the shared mindset. The shift toward Industry 5.0 puts people at the center while using digital, disruptive, and sustainable technologies to rethink production. Eli Lilly's experience shows how a digital-first culture changes everything. New sites start paperless by default. Established plants raise their game through micro-learning, data-driven problem solving, and champions who model the behavior. The message is simple. Technology only sticks when people see clear value and have the skills to act on it. From pilots to site-wide change Here's the thing. The strongest wins come from a strategic, site-wide approach rather than isolated pilots. Maturity assessments across pharma sites in Ireland revealed common patterns, shared bottlenecks, and repeatable opportunities. That insight helps teams justify investment, sharpen ROI arguments, and accelerate adoption without slowing production. Reinvestment in legacy facilities becomes a long-term advantage when you connect equipment, data, and people with a clear plan. This is where Ireland's ecosystem shows its class. Purpose-built centers like Digital Manufacturing Ireland, NIBRT, IMR, and I-FORM give teams a place to test before they invest. Indigenous tech SMEs sit at the same table as global pharma leaders and large tech firms, which means collaboration moves faster. When 50 percent or more of new R&D projects cite academic partnerships, you know something healthy is happening. Skills, STEM, and the mindset shift Upskilling came through as the decisive enabler. IDA Ireland supports companies with skills needs analysis and access to training. Universities co-create relevant courses. Micro-credentials and immersive apprenticeships build confidence on the shop floor. Stephen's point about micro-learning hit home. People learn best when they can apply knowledge to a problem they care about, right now. That keeps momentum high and spreads digital competence across teams without waiting on giant projects. Barriers still exist. Defining ROI, coping with regulatory complexity, and balancing change with daily production are real challenges. Culture is the swing factor. Leaders who set the tone, create space for experiments, and reward progress see faster results. GenAI is already shifting attitudes by improving personal productivity, which naturally opens minds to operational use cases like predictive maintenance, knowledge capture, and quality improvements. What comes next If the last decade was about connecting machines, the next decade will be about connecting knowledge. Expect smarter, greener, and more multidisciplinary manufacturing. AI will sit alongside advanced materials and sustainable design. The most resilient sites will combine agile infrastructure with strong learning cultures, so they can absorb change rather than resist it. Ireland's model of collaboration gives a useful signal. When industry, government, and academia align around shared outcomes, the runway gets longer and the takeoff gets smoother. This episode is about the practical choices that make transformation real. Strategic assessments. Shared R&D spaces. Cohorts of digital champions. And a relentless commitment to skills. It is a story of steady progress that scales, and a reminder that the future belongs to teams who can learn faster together. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

What does it take to truly understand every angle of dealership operations? In this episode, LA Williams sits down with Jonathan Schrieber, a proven leader whose journey began in his family-owned dealerships, sharpened through hands-on roles in sales and management, and elevated when he graduated from the prestigious NADA Dealer Academy! "You can't just move the pieces around and expect things to work in a dealership. You have to have the right mentality and mindset." - Jonathan Schrieber Jonathan shares how his unexpected path, from teaching and coaching to living the day-to-day grind of the showroom, shaped his passion for the Internet department and ignited his drive to innovate CRM processes, lead management, and operational efficiency. His experiences aren't secondhand theories; they're lessons learned from the front lines of dealership life. "I wanted things to happen faster than they were.

Top 5 Takeaways from my interview with Mike Payne of Boss Advisors:1. Embracing Alternative Business Structures (ABS):Mike Payne was an early adopter of Arizona's Alternative Business Structure for law firms, allowing him to merge his law and accounting practices. This move reduced administrative burdens, enabled non-lawyer ownership, and positioned his firm as a pioneer, paving the way for larger firms to follow.2. Subscription and Flat Fee Model Over Hourly Billing:Mike's firm operates almost entirely on flat fees or subscriptions, avoiding hourly billing. He started by spreading tax prep fees over 12 months and added value through consulting, eventually formalizing subscription offerings across five practice areas, including legal services.3. Client-Centric, Tiered Service Packages:Instead of letting clients choose from generic service tiers, Mike's firm categorizes clients based on their business profile (e.g., investor, startup, owner-operator, enterprise) and recommends the appropriate package. This approach streamlines pricing, reduces custom quotes, and ensures clients get what they need.4. Data-Driven, Transparent Pricing:Mike uses a detailed, analytical process to set fixed fees—calculating internal costs, adding a target profit margin, and comparing to market rates. If a service isn't profitable or competitive, he won't offer it. This transparency extends to publishing pricing and typical client profiles on his website.5. Leveraging Technology and Remote Work:Mike prioritizes cloud-based, integrated tech tools for both legal and accounting work, enabling a hybrid and remote team. He's open to AI and automation for efficiency but is cautious about client data security. Tools like WealthCounsel, Clio Grow, Carbon, and Ignition are central to his operations.__________________________Learn more about BOSS Advisors.Want to maximize your law firm?

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Larry English—former NFL player, real estate developer, and now the mind behind Mind Body Mastery and the Union Capital Company. Larry opens up about his journey from achieving his childhood dream of playing in the NFL, to facing the tough transition into business and entrepreneurship. He shares the pivotal realization that his champion mindset and focus on health, once honed as a pro athlete, was just as essential in the world of business. Larry talks about the importance of optimizing the "operator behind the business," using a data-driven approach to health and performance that goes far beyond "typical" fitness routines. Learn how a life-changing moment—watching the film "Concussion"—sparked his commitment to longevity and cognitive health, leading him to invest heavily in cutting-edge wellness strategies. Now, Larry helps executives and entrepreneurs unlock their peak potential through personalized, high-accountability programs that blend science, discipline, and mindset. Don't miss this inspiring conversation that proves whether on the field or in the boardroom, true performance starts with taking care of yourself first. You'll gain actionable insights on building sustainable vitality, avoiding burnout, and playing the long game in health and business. On the hidden cost of ignoring your own health as an entrepreneur, English states, "As business people, we don't debate or second guess the fact that we need to know our numbers in our business. We need to know our KPIs . . . we need to watch that P&L like a hawk. We need to know our conversion rates and cost per acquisition, leads, how many leads we're bringing in . . . all these things, right? But then we look at our health and we think that it's supposed to just happen on its own, intuitively, by happenstance? And that's just not the case." Key themes discussed Transition from NFL career to entrepreneurship and business. Importance of health optimization for business performance. Data-driven approach to personal health and performance. Mindset shifts after major career setbacks. Accountability and structure for lasting personal change. Defining success and fulfillment beyond financial achievements. A few key takeaways:  1. The Importance of Optimizing the "Operator" (You!): Larry emphasizes that just like in sports, your personal health and performance as an entrepreneur or business professional are crucial to overall success. He points out that many professionals fail to recognize that a performance mindset and maintaining health are just as important in business as they are in athletics. 2. Lessons from Professional Sports Transition to Business: Larry draws direct parallels between elite athletics and building a business. He discusses how data-driven approaches, discipline, and having a clear playbook are not just for sports, but equally vital for high-performing business leaders. Just as athletes track performance metrics, business leaders should monitor their KPIs—and their health metrics. 3. Facing and Overcoming Burnout: Burnout isn't just a result of overworking. As Larry puts it, “your operating system is busted.” After leaving the NFL, Larry learned the hard way that abandoning a health-first mindset led to a decline in vitality and performance—even as he achieved success in real estate. His story illustrates the need to reset and refocus on personal well-being for sustained high achievement. 4. Data-Driven, Holistic Optimization Programs: Larry's program is built on a holistic, science-based approach. It includes training, nutrition, biomarker optimization (via bloodwork), supplementation, and lifestyle supports. Success isn't just about willpower; it's about a system that offers expert guidance, accountability, and customization to each client's needs—so that health goals can directly power professional and personal ones. 5. Seeing Setbacks as Setups for Transformation: One of Larry's most powerful reflections centers on how a major business deal falling through led him to reconsider his true purpose. Rather than letting the setback define him, it pushed him to pursue his passion for helping others optimize their lives. He now uses the lessons—and the systems—that helped him transition from NFL athlete to successful entrepreneur and coach as a blueprint for others who want to “win the war, not just the game."
