What do you do when images tell a different story? Bharti Khurana, MD, MBA, speaks with cohosts Lindsey Negrete, MD, and Amy Maduram, MD, about her journey from the reading room to the forefront of artificial intelligence innovation, transforming the way we identify and support survivors of intimate partner violence. Listen to their discussion in episode 4 of Extreme Radiology, an AJR Podcast Series.  *Key Takeaways The Longitudinal Biomarker: There is no single characteristic injury that defines intimate partner violence (IPV). Instead, the true warning sign is a longitudinal pattern of trauma over time, including target injuries to the head and face, defensive injuries to the upper extremities, and neck injuries from strangulation.   Protecting the Patient Portal: Radiologists should not write "suspicious for IPV" in a formal imaging report because the partner may be monitoring the patient's electronic records. Radiologists should objectively describe the injuries in the text and directly call the referring clinician to raise abuse suspicions.   The "Pickle Jar" of Disclosure: If a case is flagged and the patient denies the abuse, the radiologist should not feel that they have failed. Reporting IPV is like opening a tight pickle jar; each safe conversation loosens the lid until the patient is finally ready and empowered to disclose their situation.  Humanizing Medicine with AI: The AIRS tool uses computational analysis to flag high probability IPV risk, which allows clinicians to better dedicate appointment times toward empathetic, trauma-informed conversations. Bias as a Strength: Critics initially warned that radiologists could not diagnose IPV because they may not see the patient's socioeconomic background in the reading room. However, this is also a source of strength, allowing radiologists to report objective findings without certain potential implicit biases. *Chapters 0:00 - Welcome and Content Warning 2:46 - Why Study IPV in Radiology 6:17 - Imaging Clues and Patterns 8:03 - Longitudinal Data and Integration 9:19 - Gender Differences and Misconceptions 14:33 - Reporting Safely in the EMR Era 19:00 - The Longitudinal Biomarker Eureka Moment 22:56 - AI That Prompts Human Care 25:21 - AIRS Workflow and Future Tools 30:25 - Collaboration and Leaving the Silo 34:47 - Handling Criticism and Staying Motivated 38:12 - What Trainees Should Know 41:52 - Closing Takeaways Follow AJR on Social Media LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/ajr-radiology/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfFAYezkLMxJGMgIJLN0Dpg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajr_radiology/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ajr_radiology X: https://x.com/AJR_Radiology BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/ajrradiology.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.com/@ajr_radiology *These sections were generated using artificial intelligence (Descript and Google Gemini) and then reviewed for accuracy.

Bezpłatna platforma o AI i biznesie dla przedsiębiorczyń ► https://jesteminteraktywna.plJak wejść na rynek od razu jako marka premium, dobrze wyceniać swoje usługi i sprawić, żeby klienci chcieli zapłacić więcej za Twoją wiedzę i doświadczenie?W tym odcinku podcastu dla przedsiębiorczych rozmawiam z Mery Piotrowską, ekspertką od declutteringu i organizacji przestrzeni, która z niszowej usługi stworzyła biznes łączący klientów premium, markę osobistą, produkty cyfrowe, mentoring oraz własną markę produktów fizycznych.To jednak nie jest odcinek wyłącznie o porządkowaniu szaf. Historia Mery jest świetnym case study dla każdej przedsiębiorczyni, która sprzedaje usługi, wiedzę albo własne produkty i zastanawia się, jak przestać konkurować przede wszystkim ceną.Rozmawiamy o tym, jak Mery od początku pozycjonowała się w segmencie premium, w jaki sposób Instagram przyniósł jej pierwszych klientów oraz dlaczego nie wycenia swojej pracy godzinowo. Jej zdaniem klient powinien płacić za projekt, rezultat i doświadczenie, a nie obserwować, ile minut przedsiębiorczyni poświęca na wykonanie konkretnej czynności.Mery opowiada też o swoich błędach biznesowych: zbyt niskiej wycenie dużej realizacji oraz kliencie, który po wykonaniu pracy nie zapłacił. To doświadczenie doprowadziło ją do zasady, że obecnie za realizacje klienci płacą z góry.Wchodzimy również w konkretne liczby. Rozmawiamy o projektach premium, produktach cyfrowych oraz kampanii sprzedażowej, która przyniosła ponad 200 tys. zł. Mery pokazuje, że jeden z najważniejszych elementów sukcesu produktu był bardzo prosty: nie wymyśliła potrzeby rynku, tylko odpowiedziała na pytania, które klienci i obserwatorki zadawali jej już wcześniej.Poruszamy też temat budowania zespołu, delegowania i specjalizacji. Przy jednej z dużych przeprowadzek nad realizacją pracowało aż 18 osób, a Mery zamiast samodzielnie wykonywać każde zadanie zarządzała całym projektem.Jest również ważny temat produktywności przedsiębiorczyni. Czy bałagan w home office może wpływać na zarobki? Rozmawiamy o rozpraszaczach, koncentracji, organizacji dokumentów i o tym, dlaczego po zakończeniu pracy warto fizycznie „zamknąć” swoje biuro, szczególnie jeśli pracujemy z sypialni lub salonu.Na koniec pytam Mery, co trzeba zrobić, żeby od początku wejść do segmentu premium, oraz z jakich narzędzi korzysta w swoim biznesie. Pojawiają się Instagram, Captions, CapCut, Trello, Descript i ChatGPT.To odcinek dla przedsiębiorczyń, freelancerek, ekspertek i właścicielek małych firm, które chcą lepiej wyceniać swoją pracę, budować markę premium, przyciągać lepszych klientów i stopniowo rozwijać biznes poza sprzedaż własnego czasu.Gościni: Mery PiotrowskaProwadząca: Ola Gościniak | Jestem InteraktywnaTematy: przedsiębiorczość kobiet, biznes premium, marka osobista, wycena usług, klient premium, sprzedaż, produkty cyfrowe, mentoring, Instagram dla biznesu, delegowanie, produktywność, home office, decluttering.

Are you interested in what we can learn from the Middle East regarding urban cooling? Our debate today works with the article titled A systematic review of passive cooling strategies integrating traditional wisdom and modern innovations for sustainable development in arid urban environments from 2026, by Shiva Manshour and Steffen Lehmann, published in the Discover Cities journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Shawn Meyers in episode 468 talking about the Middle East as a testing ground to find climate-resilient solutions. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how we can utilise passive cooling strategies to enhance urban thermal comfort. This article provides a practical roadmap for architects and policymakers to reduce energy dependency and mitigate rising temperature through climate-adaptive urban planning.Find the article through this link.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.104R - The story of NEOM city: opportunities and challengesNo.105 - Interview with Richard Morrison about project NEOMNo.444 - Interview with Markus Appenzeller about the opportunities in the Middle EastYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠⁠⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What was the most interesting part for you?

Send us Fan MailCrypto doesn't have a technology problem, it has a translation problem. Most people outside the space hear one word and mentally bundle everything together, from Bitcoin to meme coins to Ethereum, then assume it's all the same risk. I sit down with DeFi Dave, Head of Growth at CAP and a longtime DeFi educator, to break that framing and rebuild it with clear categories, simple analogies, and practical takeaways founders can use right now.We explore why on-chain finance is in a real metamorphosis: stablecoins are becoming more institutional and more “TradFi-like,” while tokenised stocks and stock tokens are pulling liquidity and experimentation back toward the wild energy of early DeFi. Dave explains stablecoins in the most useful way I've heard: like PayPal or Venmo balances, except on a public network with many counterparties verifying balances. That shift changes everything for product design, marketing, and adoption because the winning stablecoin UX makes the blockchain disappear.Then we go deep on on-chain credit. Dave outlines CAP's approach with funded underwriters who post collateral, do diligence, and take penalties when risk is mispriced, aiming to solve the incentive issues that have made lending markets blow up again and again. We also cover regulation (what the Genius Act clarifies, what lending still lacks), macro conditions like rates and liquidity, and why rising markets can trick teams into believing they found product-market fit. Finally, we get into “lore building,” where the community writes the story and the company acts as the shepherd, plus how to stand out when AI makes content flat and abundant.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on September 9, 2026.Read the blog article and show notes here: https://webdrie.net/how-stablecoins-and-on-chain-credit-are-going-mainstreamIf you care about stablecoins, DeFi lending, on-chain credit, crypto marketing, and building trust at scale, this conversation will sharpen your thinking.

“They've been doing it since 1938. It better be good.”This Lunch Walk starts as a food mission and ends up sending me even further down the rabbit hole of my own neighbourhood.I'm joined by my friend James Green, who lives nearby, as we walk through the streets around Saigon Podcast Studio in search of bánh mì vịt quay, or roast duck bánh mì. But before we even get to lunch, we uncover a few stories hiding in plain sight.We talk about how Pasteur Street was once a canal, discover that one very old-looking cafe façade is actually much newer than it appears, and stop outside the building that once housed the first American Embassy in Saigon.Then we finally reach the main event.The roast meat shop says it has been operating since 1938, and this time I'm able to ask the family directly. The woman serving us tells us her Cantonese grandfather started the business, her mother took over after him, and she is now the third generation. Her grandfather came to Saigon from Hong Kong around the 1920s, creating another direct link between this neighbourhood and the generations of immigrants who helped shape it.And the food absolutely delivers.Crispy roast duck, juicy meat, bánh mì, chilli, lemongrass and sauce quickly turns into us ordering even more duck because one sandwich simply isn't enough.The more of these Lunch Walks I make, the more I realise how much history is sitting right outside the studio, on streets I've been walking and driving through for nearly a decade.Key TakeawaysExploring the neighbourhood with my friend James GreenDiscovering that Pasteur Street used to be a canalWhy some of Saigon's “historic-looking” buildings aren't actually historicVisiting the former American Embassy in SaigonThe Cantonese influence on this part of the cityFinding a roast meat shop that has been operating since 1938Meeting the third generation of the family running itHow her grandfather came from Hong Kong to Saigon in the 1920sTrying an incredible roast duck bánh mìWhy these Lunch Walks are becoming as much about Saigon history as Vietnamese foodMy growing idea for an off-the-beaten-path walking tour around the neighbourhoodTimestamps00:00 Lunch Walk with James02:00 Pasteur Street used to be a canal04:00 The historic-looking building that isn't historic07:00 Saigon architecture and neighbourhood stories10:00 The former American Embassy13:00 Cantonese immigration and our lunch destination15:00 Finding the 1938 roast meat shop22:00 Meeting the third generation of the family25:00 Trying bánh mì vịt quay30:00 Ordering even more roast duck31:00 Could this become a Saigon walking tour?42:00 Wrapping up the Lunch Wal"Send me a message!"Book your free tour of Saigon Podcast Studio!Support the show

Negotiation is an important skill that physicians are rarely taught. Anees Chagpar, MD, MA, MBA, MPH, and Naman Desai, MD, speak with cohosts Winnie Hahn, MD, and Elizabeth Hecht, MD, about how preparation, practice, and a shift in mindset can help physicians negotiate with confidence and build careers that align with their values and priorities. Listen to their discussion in episode 3 of Mentorship Unfiltered, an AJR Podcast Series. https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.26.35921 *Key Takeaways The Collaborative Mindset: Negotiation is not a zero-sum, adversarial battle. Approaching the conversation as joint problem-solvers allows both the employer and employee to find creative ways to "grow the pie" and achieve mutual benefits. Expanding the Target: Candidates often make the mistake of focusing exclusively on base salary. Successful negotiators research historical precedents (like AAMC data) and ask for flexible perks, such as housing stipends, free childcare, CME funding, and specific call schedules. The Malpractice Trap: Understanding the difference between claims-based and occurrence-based malpractice insurance is critical. If a practice uses claims-based insurance, exiting the job requires tail coverage that can cost between $10,000 and $30,000; this should be negotiated upfront. Continuous Self-Advocacy: Negotiation does not end once the initial contract is signed. Mid-career physicians should continually reassess their value and leverage employer investments. *Chapters 0:00 - Why Negotiation Matters 4:00 - Negotiation Misconceptions 5:34 - Prepping Before First Offer 8:06 - Expand Beyond Salary 14:30 - Negotiation Phrases That Work Well? 16:16 - Avoiding Ultimatums 20:01 - Finding Market Pay Information 21:59 - Priorities and Job Stability 24:42 - W2 vs 1099 26:07 - Malpractice and Tail Coverage 28:55 - Money Priorities Checklist 31:27 - RVU Volume Reality Check 36:48 - Red Flags Researching Groups 38:25 - Switching Jobs and Credentialing 39:58 - Mid-Career Negotiation Never Ends 45:00 - Women and Negotiation Bias 52:32 - Institution Responsibilities 56:52 - Key Takeaways and Wrap Up Follow AJR on Social Media LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/ajr-radiology/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfFAYezkLMxJGMgIJLN0Dpg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajr_radiology/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ajr_radiology X: https://x.com/AJR_Radiology BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/ajrradiology.bsky.social *These sections were generated using artificial intelligence (Descript and Google Gemini) and then reviewed for accuracy.

How a Monthly Calendar Audit Improves Productivity When was the last time you looked back at your calendar and asked whether all those meetings, commitments and hours were actually a good use of your time? In this episode of the Accounting Apps Podcast, I unpack the monthly calendar audit I use to understand where my time has gone, identify follow-ups that may have slipped through the cracks, and question activities that perhaps should not be there at all. My process combines Google Workspace, Google Calendar, Google Apps Script and Google Sheets to turn a month of calendar activity into something I can review line by line. Colour coding and categorisation help me separate personal activities, non-billable administration, speaking engagements, podcasting, writing, CPD and other commitments. The audit is not simply about productivity. It gives me distance from my calendar so I can consider my energy levels, protect productive hours, manage meetings more deliberately and ask whether the technology supporting my workflow still makes sense. Key Takeaways Audit where your time actually goes. Reviewing your calendar at the end of each month can highlight low-value commitments, non-billable work and meetings that took significant time without delivering meaningful outcomes. Use calendar colour coding and categorisation. Google Calendar categories make it easier to group activities and understand the balance between personal time, client work, administration, CPD, speaking, writing and other commitments. Protect your productive hours and energy. A calendar audit can reveal patterns around when you do your best thinking, whether meetings are consuming those productive periods, and whether late-night international commitments require additional buffer time. Use the audit as a second check for follow-ups. Looking back over meetings can prompt forgotten action points, unanswered requests, CPD that needs recording, projects that need finalising or conversations that require another follow-up. Audit the technology as well as the calendar. Calendly offers useful functionality such as meeting buffers and automated emails, but Google also provides appointment scheduling. Reviewing overlapping technology can identify opportunities to simplify workflows and reduce subscriptions. A calendar audit takes time. Mine can take two or three hours, but that is partly because I use the process to stop, think and review what happened during the month. It gives me an opportunity to ask some useful questions. Why did I take that meeting? Did anything come from it? Should it have been an hour, or would 15 minutes have been enough? Am I protecting my capacity and bandwidth? Is my calendar supporting the way I want to work? The goal is not to create the perfect calendar. It is to become more deliberate about where time and energy are going, recognise what is working, and make better-informed choices about what deserves space in the calendar next month.

I've said all series that audio quality is why my show took off. The pandemic ended that advantage. Everyone stuck at home needed to sound good, so investment poured into home recording — Elgato's gear, Rode and Shure building affordable mics for people who talk rather than sing, and remote tools like Zencastr, Riverside, and Descript getting genuinely good while Zoom fixed the problems that used to produce robot voice. Good quality went from differentiator to baseline expectation. I'm even testing Ecamm for remote guests instead of insisting on local recordings, which goes against one of my oldest habits. What's left to compete on is the content.

Send us Fan MailMost travel platforms are brilliant at one thing: getting you to click “confirm.” Then the real trip starts, something goes wrong, and you're suddenly on your own. We sit down with Vipul Doshi, a travel tech entrepreneur and co-founder of Zenvoya, to unpack why the industry optimises the booking transaction while neglecting the relationship that matters most: the full traveler journey from planning and discovery to on-trip support and disruption recovery.We dig into what changes when generative AI is treated as a personal travel assistant instead of a cost-cutting automation layer. Vipul explains why information and inventory are no longer true differentiators, and why context, intent, and judgment are becoming the new competitive edge. If an AI remembers your preferences, constraints, and past choices, it can do the hard work for you and keep improving over time, turning “personalisation” into something real rather than a template email with your name.We also explore the convergence of marketing and customer service as AI starts to deliver more of the product experience. A brand promise that sounds warm but feels cold in support destroys trust fast. That's why values, tone, and accountability must carry through the AI layer, and why modern teams should shift metrics away from average handling time toward repeat engagement, repurchase behaviour, and customer lifetime value. If you care about AI in travel, customer experience, travel loyalty, and the future of distribution, this conversation gives you a clear framework to build with.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on September 10, 2026.Read the blog article and show notes here: https://webdrie.net/travel-ai-can-automate-can-it-build-relationshipsSubscribe for more Web3 CMO Stories, share this with a frequent traveler or product leader, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show...........................................................................Metricool is a new official podcast partner of Web3 CMO Stories in 2026.

A strong research question can still fail if the study design cannot answer it. Michael Soulen, MD, and Shudaveep Ganguly, MD, DM, speak with host Amit Gupta, MD, about selecting meaningful outcomes, matching design to the question, avoiding pitfalls of diagnostic accuracy studies, involving statisticians early, and building multidisciplinary trials. Listen to their discussion in episode 3 of The Early Career Researcher's Playbook, an AJR Podcast Series. *Key Takeaways Meaningful Outcomes vs. Surrogates: Technical success and progression-free survival are only surrogate endpoints. Patients and clinicians ultimately care about overall survival and quality of life. Imaging surrogates are notoriously poor predictors of true clinical benefit. Flaws in Diagnostic Accuracy: Relying purely on sensitivity and specificity is problematic if the study population doesn't reflect real-world conditions. Likelihood ratios may provide a realistic indication of a test's clinical impact. Early Statistical Integration: Never treat a statistician as a data calculator at the end of a study. Engaging them during the brainstorming phase ensures feasibility and helps to properly structures your protocol and database. *Chapters  0:00 - Welcome 2:23 - Choosing Meaningful Outcomes 9:28 - RCTs and Real World Limits 18:36 - Diagnostic Study Pitfalls 25:58 - From Accuracy to Impact 28:55 - Statistics Starts Early 37:45 - Making Collaboration Work 47:01 - Quick Fire Playbook 51:04 - Final Advice Follow AJR on Social Media LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/ajr-radiology/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfFAYezkLMxJGMgIJLN0Dpg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajr_radiology/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ajr_radiology X: https://x.com/AJR_Radiology BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/ajrradiology.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.com/@ajr_radiology *These sections were generated using artificial intelligence (Descript and Google Gemini) and then reviewed for accuracy.

In this episode, Fiona chats with Jac Semmler, founder of SuperBloom, a plant practice with a mission of “plants for the people”. They talk about Jac's journey from growing up surrounded by plants in regional Victoria to building a multidisciplinary business working across horticulture, planting design, major public projects, books and creative collaborations.Jac shares how she has intentionally built SuperBloom as a “tiny but mighty” values-led business, why she doesn't believe every business needs to niche down, and how thinking of the business as an ecology has allowed different audiences, projects and opportunities to coexist.You'll learn:Why Jac believes beauty, nature and climate resilience can and should exist togetherHow getting involved earlier in a project can lead to better creative outcomesWhy your business doesn't necessarily need to niche down to succeedHow Jac thinks about SuperBloom as an ecology rather than a collection of separate offersWhy saying no, setting boundaries and being selective about partnerships has transformed the businessThe role books have played in building Jac's profile and opening unexpected doorsJac also talks about knowing the value of your creative work, refusing to work purely for “exposure”, and why making space for the right projects, people and partnerships can be one of the most powerful decisions you make in businessNeed help with your own business strategy, impact, visibility or personal brand ?

In which The Curmudgeons continue their revisitation of the marvelously strange but often gorgeous rock subgenre we call glam rock. Last episode, we covered the genesis of glam rock via the artistic genius of Marc Bolan, David Bowie, guitarist Mick Ronson and producer Tony Visconti. We also shared a bunch of great hit songs and great glam-rock albums released between 1970 and 1972. Now we do the same thing for 1973 and 1974, during which the radio airwaves filled with bubblegum majesty inspired by Bolan and yet also during which albums done in the glam style grew decidedly darker and moodier. David Bowie segued from exotic mystery to nihilistic pessimism. Lou Reed put out the prettiest album about the decline of a self-destructive junkie couple possible. And Bryan Ferry pointed his cabaret pop toward the macabre - sex with blow-up dolls in stately mansions, anyone?

Phee Marcial’s artwork opens our co-produced endometriosis series: Armor, Light, and Power. A conversation about art, pain, and process. Click here to view the verbatim transcript Click here to read the newsletter Summary Phee created art; Health Hats was floored. They are well into co-producing a series about endometriosis. Health Hats knows little about endometriosis or manga/anime-adjacent art. Phee knows little about podcasting and video production. Both share vibrant curiosity. What a setup for the series. Hang on tight. [ Episode Proem Health Hats: I’m bursting with excitement. I'm partnering with my new friend, Phee Marcial, to produce a series about Phee’s experience with severe endometriosis. Phee is an artist, storyteller, and expert in the classics. Phee and I have met and recorded seven hours together. We have two interviews scheduled. Phee created an image for our series. This intro is about that image. Readers and viewers can see the image. Listeners can hear it described on the podcast audio. We encourage listeners to watch, and we hope you enjoy this intro as much as we did. Body You Can See Through Health Hats: This is a three-dimensional picture. This person is wearing some kind of wispy clothing you can see through. It has movement. This is an image of a person lunging forward. I was going to say with their chest, but it really isn’t. It’s with their hips. Leading with their hips, with their hair flowing in the background. Phee, what do you see? Armor, Light, and Gore Phee Marcial: Their kind of armor is indistinguishable from their body. The color suggests this armor is some kind of metal. Their right arm and both of their legs below the quads are made of this metal. So is most of their chest and some of their neck. And there’s very heavy contrast light coming from the east, falling along the front of the figure’s body and casting a shadow towards us behind them. And there is some kind of gore dripping from the figure’s right arm onto the ground and staining some of their body. Art in this Body Phee Marcial: I made this piece some time after surgery. Whether it was specifically about the surgery is, I think, irrelevant, because that’s how art feels when you’re living in a body. But I have been developing this character for a long time and wanted to play with light and color a little more. It began, as with most of the works I’m proudest of, with sketching whatever was in my head on paper or on my tablet. Usually, it was completely in black and white. Almost always, it was about how the figure interacts with light and shadow. And the color came later. I didn’t really know at first whether the color would distract from the kind of movement and, yeah, the visceral nature of that movement. The sense of sharpness. It’s always nice when color kind of manifests itself without being asked for. I think that’s one of the most wonderful ways to engage with color, at least for me. Discipline Freedom Phee Marcial: It was very exploratory. I typically work in a super regimented way. I like to be organized. Which, yeah, you may not get from the visual result, but I am typically quite rigid with my process, so it’s nice to see something turn out more freely. That’s something I’ve been noticing more in my work, and I’ve had to adapt to what is available to my physical body and my health at any given moment. And so, it has the opposite effect of what I would expect, which is that it makes me freer rather than more rigid. I think because I want to be able to, it feels more precious, right? The time that I get to spend in that space. So, it’s fewer and further between but more precious. Power! Health Hats: What I like about it, first, is the power. This is a powerful image of a powerful person with an outside and an inside, and you can really feel that the outside and inside are connected; you allow us to see movement, pain, and strength. I’m floored by it. I'm really looking forward to this conversation, to subsequent episodes, and to seeing how it colors our understanding of you and endometriosis. Thank you. Phee Marcial: Thank you.

Rick Hoogendoorn and Ralph Case ran the numbers in their recent book - a $500,000 rental house paid off entirely by tenants beats a $100,000 RRSP after 30 years... tax-free (assuming no appreciation)Rick Hoogendoorn and Ralph Case, co-authors of the book One More House, join Cameron Manning to break down the real estate RSP, a strategy that uses one rental property instead of a registered retirement plan. They cover leverage, inflation, why the current market dip is a buying window, and how to structure a joint venture even without capital.Key takeaways:- A rental property paid off by tenants can beat a traditional RRSP, even with zero appreciation- The Canadian dollar has lost about 95 percent of its purchasing power since 1915, which is a big reason real estate values climb- Leverage is the real advantage real estate has over other investments- Don't over-leverage as you get closer to retirement age- Find your joint venture partners before you find the deal, not afterTimestamps:(00:00) Meet Rick Hoogendoorn and Ralph Case, co-authors of One More House(00:57) The vision behind One More House(02:00) Ralph's childhood story, how one house saved his family(03:00) Rick's lawn mowing story and getting into real estate(04:29) Money as a battery, 95 percent of the Canadian dollar's value gone(06:19) Why real estate really goes up, it's not the house(07:19) The Real Estate RSP explained(08:00) RRSP vs Real Estate RSP, the full math breakdown(10:15) Why the current market dip is a buying opportunity(13:13) Why we panic when real estate goes on sale(16:40) Leverage, the difference real estate has over an RRSP(18:41) Building a portfolio without over-leveraging(21:51) A joint venture partner's real story, mortgage-free and traveling(26:10) Should you wait for interest rates to drop(30:20) Is it too risky to keep investing at 65(32:15) How to mitigate investment risk(34:00) The biggest fear new investors have, dealing with tenants(37:33) Property management, hire it out or do it yourself(39:36) Real estate vs precious metals(44:00) How to joint venture with no capital(49:21) Rick's strategy, find partners before you find the deal(51:49) The first action to take after this episodeAbout the guests:Rick Hoogendoorn is a real estate investor, rental apartment developer, and international speaker with a background in insurance and financial planning.

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* You can go live on LinkedIn through Zoom by connecting a custom stream URL, but you must wait 30 to 40 seconds for the LinkedIn lag before clicking “Go Live” and switch to gallery mode first if you want to control your thumbnail.* AI is collapsing the time it takes to do professional work, which makes hourly billing financially punishing for anyone who invests in productivity tools because better efficiency means less billable time and lower revenue.* Clients never wanted your hours in the first place; they wanted the outcome, so switching to fixed pricing or subscription models lets you benefit from being fast and good instead of being penalized for it.* Pre-generative AI content like long-running podcasts may be more valuable going forward because AI engines treat older, clearly human-created content as more trustworthy and authoritative than AI-generated material.* You can streamline an entire podcast production workflow by recording live on LinkedIn through Zoom, importing directly into Descript, removing filler words automatically, applying Studio Sound at a low intensity, and exporting in about five minutes.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Send us Fan MailThe web is starting to feel like a hall of mirrors. With AI cranking out endless “good enough” text, images, and video, it's getting harder to know whether you're reading a real fact, seeing a real person, or walking straight into a scam. That's why I sat down with Anthony Anzalone, better known online as Burnt Banksy, to dig into a question that's becoming impossible to ignore: how do we prove what's real on the internet without sacrificing privacy?Anthony's story starts with a now-famous act of digital ownership provocation: buying a $95,000 Banksy, burning it, and then selling the work as an NFT for around $400,000. From there, we trace the deeper theme behind the headline, verification. Crypto proved that when you can verify money and transactions, you can build entire new markets on top. Anthony argues the next frontier is verified information, the kind of trustworthy data that can help humans, brands, and AI systems operate without drowning in fraud, deepfakes, fake credentials, and bot traffic.We unpack how Verona (evolving from earlier infrastructure work on chain abstraction) aims to become an intelligence layer for AI agents, what an AI agent actually needs to know before we let it act on our behalf, and why zero-knowledge proofs matter for real-world privacy. We also get into the unglamorous truth about adoption: people don't buy “blockchain,” they buy outcomes like less risk, safer onboarding, and higher trust. If you care about AI trust, identity verification, data privacy, and a future internet with less “AI slop,” you'll get a lot out of this conversation.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on September 8, 2026.Read the blog article and show notes here: https://webdrie.net/from-burning-a-95000-banksy-to-building-online-trust/If the ideas resonate, subscribe for more, share this with someone who worries about online trust, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show........................................................................... 

“I love this country. I was about to head back to the mall. I'd given up hope, but I knew this country always pulls through at the very last second.”This Lunch Walk takes me out of Saigon and onto the streets of Da Nang, where I'm hunting down one of Central Vietnam's most famous dishes: Mì Quảng.At least, that was the plan.I set off looking for a highly rated local spot, only for Google Maps to send me to what appears to be a car lot. Add in Da Nang heat that feels close to 40°C, a complete lack of suitable clothing after coming straight from winter in Australia, and a growing temptation to give up and hide in an air-conditioned mall, and this quickly becomes more of an actual walk than expected.But just as I'm about to admit defeat, Vietnam delivers.I finally find a local Mì Quảng place and get to compare the dish in Da Nang with the versions I regularly eat back in Saigon. We talk about its lighter broth, peanuts, noodles, the differences between food in Central and Southern Vietnam, and why Mì Quảng deserves far more attention outside the country.And, as often happens on these Lunch Walks, the food is only part of the story. A random conversation with another customer turns into a chat about Saigon, Ha Long City and his former life working as a bartender on a cruise ship in Ha Long Bay.Key TakeawaysMì Quảng is one of Central Vietnam's most famous regional dishes.Unlike many Vietnamese noodle dishes, it usually comes with only a small amount of broth rather than a full bowl of soup.The Mì Quảng I've eaten in Saigon tends to have more broth and feel heavier and oilier than the version I try here in Da Nang.Vietnamese food changes significantly by region, with Central Vietnamese cuisine often associated with stronger and spicier flavours.Da Nang continues to modernise rapidly, with new malls, roads and developments sitting alongside traditional streets and local food stalls.Sometimes the best moments while exploring Vietnam come from completely unplanned conversations with strangers.Phở and bánh mì might dominate the international conversation about Vietnamese food, but there are countless regional dishes like Mì Quảng that deserve much more attention.Timestamps01:00 Searching for Mì Quảng and my confidence in Vietnamese food after 10 years05:00 Giving up on the original Mì Quảng restaurant07:00 Almost settling for cơm tấm08:00 The Da Nang heat starts winning09:00 Giving up and heading for air conditioning10:00 Finally finding Mì Quảng and getting rescued by a fan12:00 Trying authentic Da Nang Mì Quảng14:00 Meeting a local customer and attempting some Vietnamese16:00 My verdict on the Mì Quảng18:00 Why Vietnam has so much great food people rarely talk about"Send me a message!"Support the show

Somebody pulls me aside about once a week now and says some version of the same thing: I've been thinking about starting a podcast. It happens in client sessions, at conference tables, in DMs from people I've never even met in person. And every single time, my gut reaction is identical: just go do it. So this week I'm pulling back the curtain. Not the polished, "look how easy this was" version...the actual seven step process I used to launch this show, the one I'd use again if I were starting from absolute zero today, minus the six months I let a microphone collect dust on the corner of my desk before I did anything with it. This one's part pep talk, part field manual. Numbers, mistakes, the actual tools I use, and the real talk nobody puts in a "how to start a podcast" listicle.

To help prevent spreading a digital infection, outside CDs should be uploaded in isolated, dedicated environments rather than directly on standard clinical workstations.

Send us Fan MailSerious Web3 capital does not chase the loudest narrative. It follows clear thinking, real adoption, and founders who can earn trust when the hype is gone.Joeri Billast sits down with Bashar Al Madhoun, CEO of Dubai's ALMAK Group, a royal-backed global holding and investment management group chaired by Sheikh Ali bin Rashed Al Maktoum, to explore where Web3 venture capital and institutional capital are actually moving in 2026.Fresh from conversations in Kuala Lumpur and across Southeast Asia, Bashar explains why some of the most compelling opportunities are moving beyond “crypto” as a category toward practical business problems involving digital identity, ownership, payments, data infrastructure, and new collaboration models.If you are building, marketing, investing in, or fundraising for a Web3 company, this conversation breaks down what investors listen for when deciding whether a project deserves a second meeting. Bashar shares the core signals: clarity around the problem, customer, solution and business model, evidence of real adoption, and a team and leader capable of executing.We also explore the red flags that can quickly undermine an otherwise promising project, from vanity growth metrics and weak governance to unclear legal structures, poor risk management and insufficient data protection. Bashar explains why compliance can become a competitive advantage rather than friction, and why leadership, consistency and transparency about uncertainty increasingly matter in building investor trust.Joeri and Bashar then compare Dubai and Southeast Asia as Web3 ecosystems and examine the growing convergence of AI and Web3. Where does that combination create real economic value, and when is it simply two powerful narratives packaged together? Bashar also explains why AI can support investment analysis but should never replace human judgment.For founders building for the next five years rather than the next hype cycle, the message is clear: solve a focused problem, prove that people need it, and protect governance, data, IP, security and reputation from the beginning.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on September 2, 2026.

In this episode, Mike and Ben sit down with Tom Dowler to talk about his journey from a blue-collar career in drilling and blasting to building income through the Amazon Influencer Program.Tom shares why he originally applied to AIP in 2023, what happened after failing the video approval process, and how he eventually came back to the program at the end of 2024 after learning from podcasts, community conversations, and strategy calls.The conversation covers August earnings, carousel volatility, product research, Q4 prep, and the mindset shift that helped Tom start seeing better results. One of the biggest takeaways is how a single $60 product with no influencer videos turned into more than $1,100 in earnings, showing why better product research and smart buying decisions can make a huge difference.Mike, Ben, and Tom also talk through the balance between high-ticket, mid-ticket, and low-ticket products, why consistency matters going into Q4, and how Tom's 30-day daily video challenge inside Creators Leverage Guild is helping create accountability and momentum.Beyond the numbers, this episode is really about building toward more freedom, more home time, and a better long-term creator business without chasing flash or pretending the path is easy.If you are an Amazon Influencer, content creator, or product reviewer trying to improve your strategy, stay consistent, and prepare for Q4, this episode is packed with real-world perspective and practical takeaways.____________________JOIN THE COMMUNITYIf you are looking for deeper strategy, accountability, & honest conversations with other serious content creators, the Creator's Leverage Guild was built for exactly thatLearn more and join here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creator's Leverage Guild⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________CHECK OUT OUR 2 NEW EBOOKS THAT JUST LAUNCHED!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The AIP Master Guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Stop guessing your way through AIP.

Welcome back to Lunch Walk #5! Starting from Saigon Podcast Studio on Pasteur Street in the Nguyen Thai Binh neighborhood (District 1), we go down a history rabbit hole — a vanished canal, a 150-year-old bridge tied to Gustave Eiffel's company, and the wild engineering behind the Thủ Thiêm Tunnel — before finishing up with a bowl of bún bò at a historic building on Ton That Dam Street.Key Takeaways:The lost canal: Pasteur Street (formerly Pellerin) once ran along a canal through the heart of Saigon, filled in decades ago. A look at the shophouses and Cantonese and Tamil immigrant communities that once lined the route.Cầu Mống ("Rainbow Bridge"): Built around 1880, ~150 years old, and engineered by a company linked to Gustave Eiffel. Originally a road bridge connecting District 1 and District 4, later dismantled and rebuilt during tunnel construction.The Thủ Thiêm Tunnel: Finished in 2011 (years behind schedule thanks to unexpectedly soft riverbed soil), built using the "tube tunnel" method: four ~26,000-ton tubes dredged into a trench under the Saigon River and connected with millimeter-level precision.A functional building with character: The unassuming structure managing the tunnel's ventilation, drainage, and lighting — designed to actually fit the neighborhood.Lunch stop: Bún bò at a historic building on Ton That Dam Street, now home to cafes, vintage shops, and cocktail bars tucked above a street of Vietnamese-only menus.Timestamps00:00 — Intro from Saigon Podcast Studio03:07 — Cầu Mống, the Rainbow Bridge & its Eiffel connection09:16 — How the Thủ Thiêm "tube tunnel" was built13:56 — Arriving at the lunch spot on Ton That Dam Street18:33 — Plans for a "Discover Vietnam" series & walking tours20:33 — Bún bò arrives"Send me a message!"Book your free tour of Saigon Podcast Studio!Support the show

Good research questions may be hiding in everyday clinical work. Marco Francone, MD, PhD, and Daniel Pinto dos Santos, MD, speak with host Amit Gupta, MD, about transforming clinical intuition, recurring gaps, and diagnostic challenges into focused, testable, and clinically impactful research. Listen to their discussion in episode 2 of The Early-Career Researcher's Playbook, an AJR Podcast Series. https://www.ajronline.org/doi/10.2214/AJR.26.35769 *Key Takeaways Questioning the Routine: Meaningful research often begins by simply asking "why" established practices exist. For example, questioning the necessity of a non-contrast series prior to contrast media administration when looking for abdominal hemorrhage may lead to a publishable study.   The Prospective Shift: Retrospective research may be limited by biased intuitions and imperfect hypotheses. The specialty should move toward prospective models, carefully considering the clinical impact and cost-effectiveness of potential interventions.   The "Tool-First" Trap: Pushed by a publish-or-perish academic culture, researchers may make the mistake of starting with an AI model or radiomics pipeline and then searching for a problem to which to apply it. True clinical impact more likely comes with starting with the patient problem and finding the appropriate method to solve it.   Combating Confirmation Bias: When researchers firmly believe their own clinical intuition, they risk designing studies solely to confirm their preconceived notions. To maintain scientific credibility, you should assign a colleague the specific role of opposing your views to actively try and prove your hypothesis wrong.  *Chapters 0:00 - Introduction 2:07 - What Clinical Intuition Means 6:47 - Daniel's Routine to Research 9:23 - Ideas Hiding in Workflow 11:32 - From Observation to Study Plan 14:28 - Marco's Prospective CT Example 18:26 - Avoiding Confirmation Bias 23:20 - AI Tool First Trap 29:53 - Quick Fire Takeaways 33:34 - Final Advice and Closing Follow AJR on Social Media LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/ajr-radiology/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfFAYezkLMxJGMgIJLN0Dpg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajr_radiology/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ajr_radiology X: https://x.com/AJR_Radiology BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/ajrradiology.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.com/@ajr_radiology *These sections were generated using artificial intelligence (Descript and Google Gemini) and then reviewed for accuracy.

Lindsay Rosenthal has 50,000 followers on LinkedIn and makes content alongside OpenAI, HubSpot, Atlassian, Descript, and LinkedIn itself. So when she told us she currently uses zero AI for her ideas... and stopped using it for her scripts and copy entirely... we stopped the conversation and made her explain. What she said next is the whole episode. There's a specific reason AI can make you competent and almost never makes you the best, and once you hear it you can't unhear it. We also got into the exact 30-day plan for someone sitting at 500 followers right now, why commenting is the most underrated sales activity on the internet, whether you should tell people you used AI, and the story of a guy who built a business on AI avatars and shut it down after a conference. Oh, and Fonzie's back. He brought the Waffle House rule.

My first-ever post (2012) meets 100 life-sized elephants on Commonwealth Ave. Episode 625. I still haven’t found the whole animal. Click here to view the verbatim transcript Summary I revisit my first-ever blog post, a 2012 story about two strangers in wheelchairs, each certain the other had it worse, as I ride my wheelchair through The Great Elephant Migration’s 100 life-sized sculptures on Boston’s Commonwealth Avenue. Fourteen years and 625 episodes later, the argument holds: best health isn’t fixed, and no one, not the patient, not the organization, not me, ever gets the whole animal. Episode Proem: Orientation On July 24, 2012, over 14 years ago, I published my first post, Best Health: Different Lens, Different Point of View. I wrote it while vacationing on Cape Cod with my family. My son-in-law, Eric Pinaud, helped me set up my website. The episode has stood the test of time. For those of you listening instead of watching (see the video in the show notes), I’m on my trike on Commonwealth Ave, threading through a hundred elephants. They’re not real. They’re not statues either, not exactly — they’re woven. Dried lantana root, an invasive weed, hand-carved by artisans in India’s Nilgiri Hills. Each one modeled after a real elephant those artisans know by name. Calves knee-high, matriarchs taller than my head, tusks close enough to touch. A mile of them, all facing the same direction, as if they’re walking somewhere together. I’m riding at wheelchair height, which means I see knees, trunks, and the undersides of ears before I see a whole animal. One elephant at a time. Never the herd. Episode #1 featured two people with recent disabilities approaching each other in wheelchairs in a rehab hallway. An eighteen-year-old with a gunshot wound, learning to steer with his mouth. A fifty-year-old stroke patient, learning to steer with one hand and a foot, with his wife behind him, dressed up and disgusted. The younger one muttered, “Glad I’m not him.” Neither of them was wrong about what they saw. Neither saw the whole thing. Best health isn’t one thing. Not for you, not for the person next to you, not for the organization billing you for services. Best health moves. It depends on which part of the elephant you’ve got your hand on. So today: the old post, the new elephants, and a hundred and sixty-nine months of me still not knowing the whole shape. This is episode #625. Yikes. 2012, Uncorrected: First Lens This first blog sets the stage. “Best health.” How will we recognize it? For individuals, could it be love, peace of mind, a cure, the ability to perform activities of daily living, or freedom from dis-ease? For organizations, could it be profitability, increased volume, high overall satisfaction, or a high Net Promoter score? Just like anything in the human condition, best health isn’t static. It’s constantly changing. At one point in my life, while working for a landscaping company, I had to complete the final hand raking of topsoil for a brand-new 2-acre rolling lawn. It took 20 hours. Through the lens of that solitary, monotonous gig, I learned that there is no up without a down. Every depression had a corresponding rise. Zen for the 20-year-old! Best implies less than best, always together. While in nursing school, I worked as a rehab aide. I was walking down the hall with an 18-year-old quadriplegic from a gunshot wound to the neck, learning to maneuver his wheelchair with his mouth. Coming the other way was a 50-year-old man suffering from a debilitating stroke, learning to propel his wheelchair with his left hand and foot. Behind the drooling, slouching, struggling man was his beautiful 20-something wife, dressed to the hilt, looking completely disgusted. Out of the corner of his mouth, my young patient muttered, “glad I’m not him.” It’s all relative. Different lens, different point of view. Attaining best health means figuring out the unique goal of the person or organization and working toward that goal collaboratively. I invite you to tell your story. Reflection: Still Best Health, Somehow Fourteen years ago, I used one cane, no forearm crutches, no wheelchair. I was between jobs after being laid off from Boston Children's Hospital. My oldest grandson was four, and my youngest was one. I was playing bari sax in Herb's Heard Big Band. I had just begun my relationship with PCORI. Today, I still have best health! Life is good.
