How can cardiac arrest data be used to create quality education for EMS clinicians? In this episode, hosts Maia Dorsett, Rob Lawrence and Hilary Gates are joined by quality improvement experts Kerby Johnson, Clinical Quality Research Coordinator for the Office of the Medical Director at Fort Worth Fire Department EMS, and paramedic Kevin Gustina from Perinton EMS to explore how systems can use data to drive smarter education and better cardiac arrest outcomes. From the power of the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) to monitor-level insights and process measures, the group discusses how agencies—large and small—can turn performance data into meaningful training. They share real-world lessons, down to the seemingly small tweaks, on improving time to first shock, high-quality CPR and team-based resuscitation. The conversation highlights how looking at your data and being purposeful about simulation and team practice can transform teams. Because in resuscitation, neurologically-intact outcomes is what matters. Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."

In this data-driven conversation with Dr. Kevin Peterson, some of the topics we discuss include: How winding down Castalia and Sfumato after a decade of service provided the impetus for this new project, and why Kevin has set out to address a very different set of questions than in his last book, Cocktail Theory. Why matching a person with their ideal drink is very different (and much more difficult, it turns out) from trying to make the optimal Old Fashioned or Negroni or Daiquiri. This leads to a conversation about all the variables that go into cocktail preference: sweetness, acidity, bitterness, booziness, effervescence, egg white, spiciness, and so much more - how does one begin to build such a high-dimensional beverage algorithm in pursuit of aesthetic pleasure? We also discuss some of the algorithmic tests that good bar programs and bartenders can implement in order to zero in on guest preferences more quickly. These include good menu writing, the classic bartender's choice speed interview, and the possibility for creating a guest profile with likes and dislikes. Along the way, we explore why spicy drinks are a trap, the sea change I experienced the first time I tasted Green Chartreuse, the idea of perceptual thresholds in cocktails and in life, and much, much more.  

What does a city government owe its residents? Host Stephen Goldsmith speaks with Eyal Feder-Levy, CEO of Zencity, to explore how GenAI is fundamentally transforming the way cities measure, understand, and respond to resident needs. For decades, performance management in government has relied on operational metrics like crime numbers, pothole repairs, traffic flow. But what happens when the data looks good, yet residents feel less safe? When efficiency improves, but trust declines? In this episode, Feder-Levy argues that citizen satisfaction and perception should be the true North Star for city government. Using social sentiment analysis, AI-powered data agents, and real-world examples, he explores how GenAI is cutting response times, revealing hidden patterns, and closing the gap between statistics and lived experience.

Innovation occurs across many areas, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode,  host Tom Fox welcomes Evan Sampson, a noted health care compliance attorney. Sampson traces his path from commercial litigation to representing healthcare practices on HIPAA/privacy and reimbursement matters, then moving in-house at a network of plastic surgery centers, where he managed compliance focused on fraud, waste, and abuse, and on evolving out-of-network billing rules leading into the No Surprises Act. Sampson explains how compliance programs can create business value beyond risk mitigation by uncovering inefficiencies and opportunities, such as identifying downcoding in medical billing and using complaint investigations to spot growth areas. He describes how his litigation background helps him anticipate how issues will unfold over time in investigations and litigation, thereby improving his credibility with business leaders. They discuss building a culture of compliance in fast-growing healthcare organizations, tracking regulatory changes across primary and secondary sources, and leveraging AI and data analytics to detect claim outliers and strengthen compliance.

Click to Send us a text!High speed is useless if your biology is stuck in the pits. We pull back the curtain on how stress quietly starts in the gut, not the mind, and why that single shift explains brain fog, slower reaction time, edgy radio chatter, and the creeping fatigue that steals races. Instead of pushing more caffeine and grit, we map the gut-brain loop that runs on serotonin, dopamine precursors, GABA influence, and immune signaling—and show how travel, irregular meals, dehydration, and late nights derail absorption and throttle neurotransmitters.From there, we walk through a precision, data-first approach used with elite performers: saliva to track cortisol rhythm, hair to assess mineral reserves, urine markers for gut function, organic acids for mitochondrial output, and omega ratios for inflammation load. This isn't about chasing symptoms or tossing supplements at the wall. It's about reading the trends standard labs miss, then restoring digestion, rebalancing minerals like magnesium and sodium-potassium, supporting mitochondria for clean energy, and timing caffeine and sleep anchors to stabilize focus when it counts.You'll hear why high performers often need restoration more than stimulation, plus practical moves you can apply during race week: mineral-rich hydration, protein-forward meals away from big caffeine hits, micro-breathing resets between segments, sunlight and mobility to lock circadian rhythm, and post-race refuel that cuts the cortisol tail. Stress stops being a badge and becomes a signal. Champions run diagnostics early, fix the terrain, and let performance flow—because the fastest car still needs a stable driver's nervous system to find clean air.If this hits home, subscribe, share with your crew, and leave a quick review with your top stress signal.

In the dynamic world of marketing in today's toy industry, staying on top of best practices isn't always easy. This is especially true when it comes to influencers. Fortunately, we have some insights that may prove enlightening and useful.Mark Basset heads up the influencer business at Precisify inthe UK. You may have known the as Precise TV in the past. Mark and I talk about their unique, data-driven approach to developing content and how they've used that to build global success stories.After you listen, find out more here.

Chris Walker built Refine Labs from $3,000 in the bank and $65K in debt to $22 million in revenue in roughly three years — 100+ employees, 350 software company clients, and arguably the most influential voice in B2B marketing. He created the "dark social" movement, redefined how an entire generation of marketers thinks about MQLs, and built a massive audience doing it. Then he walked away. Because the peak of the business was also the lowest point of his life.In this conversation, we get into what actually broke at the top, why changing your environment doesn't fix what's underneath, and what Chris means when he talks about "frequency" — stripped of the spiritual language and grounded in the engineer's brain he actually has. We debate whether you have to grind before you can transcend it, why limiting beliefs feel like facts, and why he thinks training your frequency will be as common as going to the gym within five years.We also go deep on extractive vs. regenerative systems — in business, content, social media, and relationships — and why the intention underneath your actions matters more than the actions themselves.I've been using Chris's ENCODED program for five months. I came in skeptical. I still have questions. But I can't deny what shifted. This one's worth your time whether you buy the concept or not.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy building a $22M company was one of the worst periods of Chris's life — and what that reveals about external vs. internal successWhat "frequency" actually means as identity + beliefs + intentions, without the spiritual languageWhy changing your job, city, or business doesn't work if you don't change the foundation underneath itThe difference between extractive and regenerative systems — in business, relationships, and how you show up as a leaderWhy limiting beliefs feel like facts, and how to spot the invisible ceiling you didn't know you builtHow the intention underneath your actions — in content, business, and life — determines the results you getWhy Chris thinks frequency training will be as mainstream as going to the gym within 3–5 yearsBOOKS & RESOURCES REFERENCEDShoe Dog by Phil Knight — https://a.co/d/05UhJN4T ENCODED Frequency Map — https://www.encoded.ai/ We Are Encoded Podcast — https://open.spotify.com/show/5eEzaXy4hUSqlvzD9ROqrz

In this episode, I sit down with Aaron Gore, VP of Sales & Marketing at Beer30, to talk about the upcoming American Craft Beer Hall of Fame induction ceremony  and what today's high-performing breweries can learn from the legends of our industry.We explore how leading breweries are using data management not just to “keep records,” but to gain a true competitive edge. From tighter inventory control and margin visibility to AI-powered forecasting and smarter decision-making, data discipline is separating the breweries that survive from those that thrive in a maturing market.Aaron also shares insights on three major initiatives coming soon from Beer30  and what they signal about the future of operational intelligence in craft beer.✅ Actionable Takeaways1️⃣ Treat Data as a Strategic Asset — Not Just RecordkeepingHigh-performing breweries don't just collect data — they structure it, review it consistently, and use it to drive pricing, production planning, inventory control, and profitability decisions.2️⃣ Build a Single Source of TruthDisconnected spreadsheets and siloed systems create confusion. The best breweries integrate accounting, production, and inventory data so everyone operates from the same numbers.3️⃣ Use AI as an Assistant, Not a ReplacementAI tools can help analyze trends, forecast demand, flag anomalies, and generate insights faster — but they work best when clean, organized data feeds them. Garbage in, garbage out still applies.4️⃣ Create a Weekly Data Review RhythmCompetitive breweries establish weekly operational and financial huddles where key metrics are reviewed, variances are discussed, and decisions are made quickly — before small issues become big problems.5️⃣ Invest in Systems That Scale with YouWhether it's inventory management, production planning, or forecasting tools, investing in scalable systems early allows breweries to grow efficiently instead of rebuilding their back office every few years.ResourcesConnect with Aaron - aaron.gore@the5thingredient.com Get the Brewery Profit Bulletin - tips, tactics and strategies to build a more profitable breweryReady to transform financial results in your beer business?

Most companies think they are building data platforms. What they are actually building is the foundation for AI agents to make decisions!!!! At DataDriven 2026, I sat down with Manish Sood, Founder and CEO of Reltio, and our conversation made one thing clear: the role of data platforms is changing fast.Reltio just crossed $185M in ARR with strong growth, but the bigger story is how they are redefining master data management for the AI era. Instead of focusing only on data storage, they are pushing toward Context Intelligence, where AI systems operate on real-time, curated, and governed data.We discussed their new AgentFlow approach, where prebuilt AI agents automate stewardship work like match resolution, profiling, and data exploration. This moves data teams from manual cleanup to intelligent automation.We also talked about speed and access. Their Lightspeed data delivery network aims to make enterprise data globally available in milliseconds so customer-facing and agentic AI systems can actually function in real time.What stood out from customers at the event is simple:- The conversation is no longer about adopting AI- It is about whether their data foundation can support itSharing the full interview here where Manish breaks down the announcements, the strategy behind AgentFlow, and what enterprises should be preparing for next.#data #ai #datadriven #reltio #theravitshow

Brad Long reacts to the latest FOMC minutes and notes that dissension is considered uncommon now within the Fed, but not historically. He says the economy is “off to the races,” noting that unemployment and GDP growth are, unusually, about the same percentile. Brad argues that Warsh as Fed Chair might start looking forward rather than being data dependent, which he describes as looking backwards. On AI, he thinks that SaaS may lose “pricing power” to AI but argues that it's too expensive to rebuild systems from scratch with the technology.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Why do your numbers look right… but your bar feels off?Your labor's tight.Margins look healthy.The menu's optimized.On paper, you're doing everything right.But data is transactional. It tracks sales and costs. It doesn't track loyalty. It doesn't measure vibe. And it won't tell you when you're optimizing the life out of your bar.Cutting a low-margin item might improve percentages.It might also hurt long-term relationships.In this episode, we break down the blind spots of data-driven bar management and where gut instinct still matters.If your spreadsheet says you're winning but something feels off, this one's for you.

In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we examine dynamic pricing and why pricing is one of the most powerful and misunderstood levers in corporate finance. While often viewed as a marketing tactic, pricing decisions sit at the core of margin protection, cash flow management, and capital discipline.This episode breaks down why pricing is frequently the fastest lever available to management when financial performance is under pressure. Unlike cost reductions or capital projects, price changes can impact operating profit immediately. We explore the financial logic behind the “1% rule,” which shows how small improvements in pricing can generate disproportionate gains in operating profit due to fixed cost structures and margin flow-through.Using real-world case studies, we analyze how companies apply dynamic pricing to balance supply, demand, and profitability across industries with very different economics.In this episode, we cover:Why pricing is fundamentally a finance problem, not just a marketing decisionThe math behind the 1% pricing rule and margin amplificationHow airlines pioneered yield management for perishable assetsWhy rideshare surge pricing functions as a market-clearing mechanismHow Amazon uses dynamic pricing to accelerate cash conversion rather than maximize unit marginThe role of working capital and negative cash conversion cycles in pricing strategyHow hotels use revenue per available room (RevPAR) to manage fixed costsWhy price elasticity determines whether dynamic pricing creates or destroys valueThe JCPenney case and how ignoring consumer behavior undermined rational pricing modelsHow dynamic pricing is evolving in SaaS and usage-based business modelsThis episode also highlights the limits of algorithmic pricing. While data and models can optimize margins, successful pricing strategies must account for customer behavior, perceived value, and long-term relationships. Pure arithmetic optimization without behavioral context can rapidly erode demand and brand trust.This episode is designed for:Corporate finance and FP&A professionalsPricing and revenue management teamsFinance leaders responsible for margin and cash flow performance 

This week, Tee is excited to welcome Derek Hales, founder and editor of NapLab. With more than 11 years of experience, Derek has personally tested over 500 mattresses to deliver objective, data-driven reviews and recommendations. He shares how a frustrating in-store mattress shopping experience with his wife sparked the idea for NapLab and ultimately led him to build one of the most trusted sleep-review platforms available today. Derek breaks down the rigorous, hands-on testing methods used at NapLab and outlines the key factors consumers should consider when purchasing a mattress. The conversation covers mattress materials, performance differences across types, the role of toxicity and off-gassing in mattress production, and common misconceptions that often mislead buyers. The episode also underscores the critical role quality sleep plays in overall health and well-being. Tee and Derek close with practical, actionable advice for making a confident mattress purchase, along with guidance on where listeners can find additional resources and personalized recommendations through NapLab.   Connect with Derek and NapLab:  Website Nap Quiz LinkedIn Instagram YouTube   Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Austin Air Purifiers: For podcast listeners, take 15% off any Austin Air product; please email Tee@thegreenlivinggurus.com and mention that you want to buy a product and would like the discount.

Drew Perkins talks with Brian Lamb, founder of Swivl, about the "Paradox of Edtech" and how modern digital interfaces are changing the way we learn. They discuss the shift from being "data-driven" to "data-informed," the importance of "decentering" for perspective-taking, and how AI can serve as a reflective thought partner for teachers rather than a replacement for human-led instruction. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode  Have some feedback you'd like to share? You can email me at drew@thoughtstretchers.org. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening. Episode Overview: Brian Lamb and Drew Perkins explore why traditional edtech often creates a "gamified" version of reality that limits student growth. Brian explains how Swivl is pivoting toward tools that prioritize human reflection over screen time. They dive into the necessity of "decentering"—the cognitive ability to step outside one's own perspective—and how AI can be used to develop "uncomputable intelligence." The conversation also addresses the challenges of teacher preparation and how AI-supported feedback can help early-career teachers navigate the "messy reality" of the classroom.

Risk analysis rarely shows up in wellness conversations—but it should. Emma Tekstra brings an actuary's eye to health, questioning why modern medicine excels at intervention yet struggles with prevention. From pharmaceutical incentives to lifestyle tradeoffs we'd rather ignore, this conversation strips wellness down to first principles: data over dogma, accountability over convenience, and long-term human flourishing over short-term fixes. A pragmatic, sometimes uncomfortable rethink of what it actually means to be healthy.GET SOCIAL WITH US!

In this episode of “RKD Group: Thinkers,” we sit down with Hilary Noon, global head of strategy, engagement and growth at AWS Nonprofits, to explore what it means to lead at the intersection of humanity and technology.With more than 25 years of experience spanning nonprofits, agencies and Big Tech, Hilary has navigated three very different “planets”—each with its own culture, constraints and opportunities. Yet throughout her career, one thread has remained constant: a deep belief that data, technology and analytics can, and should, be leveraged to amplify good.Hilary's path into the sector wasn't a straight line. Raised in a family grounded in service and community, she gravitated toward work that carried meaning and impact. Early roles at institutions like the Smithsonian and the American Cancer Society allowed her to explore the business side of nonprofit work, applying commercially oriented skills to mission-driven organizations. From there, her journey expanded into agency leadership and, ultimately into AWS, where she now helps thousands of nonprofits navigate rapid technological change.Today, Hilary leads strategy and growth for AWS Nonprofits, partnering with organizations around the world as they adopt cloud technology, build data maturity and innovate responsibly, even amid resource constraints and uncertainty. Her leadership stands out not just for its technical depth, but for its people-first approach. She speaks candidly about building strong teams, learning how to manage before she was ready and why coaching and trust matter more than control.

In this episode of Recycled Content, host Kara Pochiro hands hosting duties over to Marisa Adler, a leader at the intersection of textile recovery systems, data, and policy and the lead for the Textile Recovery Summit taking place alongside the Plastics Recycling Conference and Resource Recycling Conference this February. Marisa is joined by Traci Kinden of TexRoad and Jennifer Wang of Full Cycle Resources to unpack what "data" really means in textile recovery, where today's information comes from, and why gaps in end-market and operational data can create real risk for policy, investment, and system design. They also dig into the realities of collecting data in informal markets, why trust and incentives matter, and what it will take to build better measurement and accountability across the textile value chain.   Many of these themes will continue at the Textile Recovery Summit, February 23–25 in San Diego.

What does it look like to use data not just to report, but to change outcomes at a national scale?In this episode of the Common Good Data Podcast, Roger and I are joined by Michelle Dunivan, Senior Director of Insights and Analytics at Best Friends Animal Society. Michelle shares how Best Friends uses data, partnerships, and trust-building to advance its bold mission of making the entire United States a no-kill nation.We talk about the realities of animal welfare as an under-resourced social sector, the lack of standardized data across communities, and how Best Friends has built one of the most comprehensive animal welfare data systems in the country. Michelle explains how data can help shift policy, guide local practice, and “myth-bust” the idea that things are only getting worse, even in challenging times.This conversation is also about something bigger than animal welfare. It's about how nonprofits can use data ethically, transparently, and collaboratively to improve outcomes, build trust, and create collective impact across an entire field.In this episode, we discuss:- Why animal welfare data is uniquely challenging and deeply local- How Best Friends collects and uses data across thousands of shelters- The role of trust, transparency, and relationships in data sharing- How data can support continuous improvement - What nonprofits in any sector can learn from this approachIf you're interested in evaluation, data strategy, collective impact, or using information to drive real change, this episode offers powerful lessons that extend far beyond animal welfare.

“Last year, I came into the indoor season with the sole goal of breaking 3:50 in the mile… That was the big goal to tick off. I thought I'd maybe have a shot at running 3:48-high or 3:49-low to mid, so to run 3:47 actually surprised me quite a lot. This year, I feel like that's almost the expectation now. The standard has definitely been raised and the bar's been raised.”My guest for today's episode is Cameron Myers. Over the last three years, the world has gotten to know what Australia has known for a while – that something special has been coming. At just 19 years old, Cam ran 7:27 for 3000m to win the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, delivering the fastest 3K ever run by an Australian that's either indoors or outdoors. In the process, he broke national records held by Ky Robinson and Stewy McSweyn. He closed in 55.98 seconds over the last 400m and surged away from a world-class field with the kind of composure that you rarely see from a teenager. To put that performance into perspective, only three men in history have ever broken 7:28 before turning 20 years old. That's Eliud Kipchoge, Jacob Kiplimo, and Jakob Ingebrigtssen. That's the company that Cam Myers now keeps.He talks about that stat in our chat, but what makes Cam so compelling isn't just the time; it's the way that he talks about the sport. He's thoughtful, honest, and remarkably grounded for someone who's already climbing so high in the global ranks. In our conversation, he's open about the challenges that he's faced, including a recent medical setback that forced him to withdraw from the World Cross Country Championships. We also talk about his breakout race in Boston, why stacking training upon training has become his guiding principle, how he's learning to race to win instead of just hanging on. Plus, he'll be one of the stars of the Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games this weekend after taking third place last year in a U20 mile world record of 3:47.We're speaking with Cam as part of his announcement that he has joined the Coros roster of professional athletes, which includes the likes of Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Jess Hull, and Alex Yee. He shares a bit of his data-driven approach, but you can learn more if you read their blog post on him here.Cam is already rewriting record books and he's doing it with a long view of where his journey can go since he'll be one of the stars for Australia when they host the 2032 Olympic Games.____________Mentioned in this episode:COROS Blog Post - Cam Myers' Training: A Deep Dive____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Cam Myers | @camer0nmyers on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a better-for-you soda that puts 6-9g of fiber in every single can.
