Podcasts about Design

Customer experience doesn't happen by accident. It's designed. In this episode, I sit down with Kristen Kiley from Leanscaper to break down how to intentionally map the customer experience from first contact through long-term retention. Recorded at Leanscaper, we walk through the key customer touchpoints most contractors overlook, how small gaps create big problems, and how designing the journey on purpose leads to better retention, referrals, and long-term growth.

What if getting a degree in design didn't mean writing a thesis—but instead meant building a real, revenue-generating business? In this episode, I'm joined by Carina Gardner, who is doing something truly bold: she's opened her own university. The University of Arts and Design is unlike any traditional university experience. Think of it as a trade school for creatives, where students learn practical, real-world skills—like keeping their books with QuickBooks, pricing their work, and running a profitable business. Instead of writing a thesis for a master's degree, students are required to create and run a business. Carina knows both sides of the academic world. She holds a PhD from the University of Minnesota and spent years watching talented creatives hear the same discouraging messages: "You can't earn money as a creative." "Don't study art—you'll just be a starving artist." But Carina—and many of her peers—are living proof that those statements simply aren't true. In this conversation, Carina shares how creatives can build multiple six-figure businesses by selling their art and designs—not by teaching others how to be creative, but by doing the work themselves. This episode is an inspiring look at what's possible when creativity and business come together—with intention, structure, and confidence. In this episode, we talk about: Why Carina started the University of Arts and Design How this model differs from traditional art and design degrees What creatives actually need to learn to earn real income Why running a business replaces a thesis How artists and designers can build sustainable, profitable careers If you've ever loved creating—but wondered how to make it financially sustainable—this episode will open your eyes to a new way forward.

Today's guest is Paul Cater. Paul is a veteran strength and conditioning coach with over 25 years of experience spanning professional baseball, collegiate athletics, and high-performance team environments. Paul is known for blending traditional strength training with rhythm, timing, gravity, and a deeply relational, art-driven approach to coaching. His work challenges purely formulaic or data-driven models and puts the live training session back at the center of athlete development. In an era where training is increasingly automated, optimized, and reduced to dashboards and numbers, it's easy to lose the human element that actually drives performance. This conversation explores how rhythm, feel, load, and coaching presence shape not just outputs, but adaptability, resilience, and long-term athletic growth. If you've ever felt that “something is missing” in modern training environments, this episode speaks directly to that gap. In this episode, Paul and I explore training as a live performance rather than a static program. We discuss using early isometric and axial loading as a readiness anchor, how downbeat rhythm and eccentric timing drive better outputs, and why chasing numbers too aggressively can undermine real performance. We dive into music, movement, art, and coaching intuition, and how creating alive, rhythmic sessions builds stronger athletes, and better coaches, without relying solely on rigid protocols or excessive monitoring.

Use uneven terrain and elevation to naturally regulate intensity instead of forcing outputs. Let the environment create variability rather than programming it artificially. Periodically remove mirrors, clocks, and screens to reconnect athletes with internal feedback. 6:00 – The role of community in training Training outcomes improve when athletes feel socially anchored. Design sessions where athletes work together rather than in isolation. Use shared challenges to build collective buy-in and accountability. View community as a performance multiplier, not a soft add-on. 12:15 – Performance and the observer effect Athletes change behavior when they know they are being measured. Use testing sparingly to avoid distorting natural movement. Train without constant feedback to preserve authentic effort. Recognize when measurement helps clarity and when it creates tension. 23:27 – Shifting training protocols Protocols should evolve with the athlete, not remain fixed. Regularly reassess whether a method still serves the athlete's needs. Avoid loyalty to systems that no longer produce adaptation. Let context, stress, and readiness guide training decisions. 32:32 – Balancing data and intuition Numbers inform decisions, but intuition completes them. Use data as a reference point, not the final authority. Trust experienced pattern recognition when data feels incomplete. Teach younger coaches how to observe, not just measure. 42:14 – Efficacy of isometric training Isometrics offer clarity, control, and nervous system regulation. Use isometrics to teach position awareness and intent. Apply them during deloads or recovery periods. Emphasize quality of tension rather than maximal force. 47:23 – Five-minute wonders Short, focused training can still drive adaptation. Use brief sessions to maintain rhythm during busy schedules. Prioritize intent and execution over duration. Stack small doses consistently rather than chasing long sessions. 53:28 – The art of adaptation Adaptation is individual, nonlinear, and context dependent. Avoid expecting identical outcomes from identical programs. Adjust based on response, not expectation. Respect that progress can look quiet before it looks obvious. 57:44 – Embracing the subconscious Much of performance operates below conscious control. Reduce over-cueing to allow automatic movement to emerge. Trust repetition and environment to shape behavior. Coach less, observe more. 1:28:06 – A playlist for performance Music influences emotional and physical rhythm. Use music intentionally to shape session tone. Match tempo to desired movement qualities. Allow athletes some ownership over the training atmosphere. Quotes from Paul Cater “Training is as much about remembering what we are as it is about building what we want to become.” “The moment measurement changes behavior, you have to question what you are actually training.” “Community is not separate from performance. It is performance.” “Coaching is an art because people are not repeatable systems.” “Isometrics give you honesty. There's nowhere to hide.” “Data can guide you, but it cannot feel the athlete.” “Adaptation does not care about your program, only your response.” “Sometimes the best thing you can do as a coach is stop talking.” About Paul Cater Paul Cater is a veteran strength and conditioning coach with over 25 years of experience working across professional baseball, collegiate athletics, tactical populations, and high-performance team sport environments. He has served in leadership and performance roles with organizations including Major League Baseball, NCAA programs, and private high-performance facilities, and is known for his ability to blend high-intensity strength training with rhythm, coordination, and ecological skill development. Paul's coaching philosophy emphasizes gravity, timing, and rhythm as foundational drivers of athletic performance. Rather than relying solely on rigid programming or isolated testing, his sessions are built around early exposure to meaningful load, isometric and inertial work, and rhythmic constraints that reveal readiness, alignment, and intent in real time. His work integrates elements of sprint mechanics, change of direction, elastic strength, and movement artistry to create training environments that are both physically effective and psychologically engaging. Currently working in a collegiate performance setting, Paul is deeply interested in coaching as a live, relational craft; treating each session as a performance that develops not just outputs, but awareness, adaptability, and ownership in athletes. His approach bridges traditional strength training with concepts from sport, art, music, and survival movement, offering a perspective that challenges purely automated or data-driven models of performance.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Kylee Ingram to unpack how better decision design can reduce stress, improve clarity, and rebuild self-trust at work. They explore decision intelligence, crowd wisdom, and why “the usual people in the room” often leads to predictable mistakes. This conversation is for leaders, founders, and team members who feel stuck in chaotic meetings, unclear accountability, or constant second-guessing. You will learn how to structure decision rooms so the right voices are included, bias is reduced, and decisions improve without adding more time or drama. About the Guest: Kylee Ingram is the co-founder and CEO of Wizer, a decision intelligence platform focused on mapping cognitive strengths and helping teams bring the right people into important decisions. Her background includes television production and a crowdsourced documentary experiment called CrowdTV. Key Takeaways: Aim for 6+ decision participants to unlock “wise crowd” effects, but only if diversity and independence are built in Watch for three bias types in meetings: social (who is heard), information (what is valued), capacity(oversimplifying under pressure) A weak decision room looks like the same voices repeating, blind spots growing, and outcomes feeling narrow Build the room using three lenses: outward diversity (age, gender, ethnicity), experience, and cognitive roles(data, risk, options, process, outcomes) Better decision design can reduce errors and improve innovation when the right mix is present Start by understanding your own decision style, then add a complementary thinker to balance your blind spots How to Connect With the Guest: https://www.wizer.business/decision-profiles  If you're curious about how you make decisions, Kylee invites listeners to complete a free Decision Profile. It takes about five minutes and gives you insight into your decision style, strengths, and blind spots — and how you tend to show up in group decisions.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Most high performers aren't stuck because they lack discipline. They're stuck because they're trying to fix things that were never meant to be their strengths. That's not growth — that's burnout with a productivity planner. In this episode of PivotMe, April dismantles one of the most persistent myths in personal development: that success requires being "well-rounded." Drawing from strengths psychology, Gallup research, and real-world high performers, April explains why obsessing over weaknesses produces minimal return — and why leverage, not balance, is the real driver of scale. This episode is for anyone who feels exhausted trying to improve in areas that drain them, while underusing the strengths that actually move the needle. Key Takeaways The myth of being well-rounded High performers are intentionally uneven. They don't chase balance — they chase leverage. What strengths psychology proves Research from Gallup and CliftonStrengths shows that people who develop strengths are more engaged, productive, and fulfilled, while weakness-fixation yields diminishing returns. Why fixing weaknesses feels responsible Weakness work feels humble and mature — but it's often fear in disguise. Strengths create visibility, expectation, and accountability. What elite performers actually do They: Name their strengths clearly Design systems and teams around weaknesses Build leverage instead of willpower Limitations vs. liabilities A limitation is something you're not great at. A liability is something you refuse to acknowledge. Awareness neutralizes weakness. Denial weaponizes it. Quotes "High performers are not well-rounded. They are intentionally uneven." "Weaknesses rarely become strengths — they usually just become less annoying." "You don't scale by becoming more balanced. You scale by becoming more you — on purpose." "Your business doesn't grow when you fix everything. It grows when you stop asking your weaknesses to lead." The Challenge Ask yourself honestly: What am I trying to fix that I should be designing around? Which strength have I underused because it makes me visible? What would change if I trusted my strengths enough to build around them? Stop fixing. Start leveraging. Growth doesn't come from becoming well-rounded. It comes from becoming effective. Your job isn't to be everything. Your job is to be dangerously good at the things that matter most. Keep pivoting forward, Pivoter. ____________ Want help identifying and leveraging your strengths — without burning yourself out?

What if the problem was never a lack of energy… but a lack of coherent systems?In this episode, I'm revisiting the Quintillionaire Mindset and going deeper into a concept that quietly shapes our lives, our money, and our nervous systems: entropy.Many empaths, highly sensitive people, and ADHD minds aren't disorganized because they're incapable — they're overwhelmed by poorly designed systems that siphon energy into hypervigilance, procrastination, and chronic overextension. When energy can't circulate, it collapses into entropy.This conversation weaves together:The Quintillionaire Mindset and post-scarcity consciousnessEntropy vs. intelligent, self-sustaining systemsADHD, empathic hypervigilance, and disorganized thinking as energy leaksTrauma, sovereignty, and the fragmentation of creative energyThe body as a closed, regenerative ecosystemThe figure-eight / toroidal field as our natural energetic designHow money became an externalized “god” that hijacked our creative currencyAt the heart of this teaching is a simple but radical truth:All problems that require money are solvable.Money is not the constraint.Energy is not the constraint.Design is the constraint.When we restore sovereignty to the body, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect to our internal creative loop, energy begins to circulate again. Entropy dissolves. Wealth stops being chased and starts being stabilized.This episode is an invitation — not to hustle harder — but to come home to the self, reclaim creative sovereignty, and begin designing systems that honor who you actually are.✨ WANT TO GO DEEPER?

SummaryIn this episode we dive into the importance of pausing and embracing stillness as a strategic move in life. The concept of 'Becoming by Design,' emphasizes that the space between actions is not a gap to rush through but a vital moment for reflection and awareness. Intentional stillness can help individuals recognize patterns, emotional triggers, and the weight of internal pressures, ultimately leading to better decision-making and alignment with personal values.This episodes explores the benefits of stillness, highlighting that it prevents reactive living and allows for a more intentional approach to life. The personal anecdotes and practical advice, such as the '24-hour rule' for responding to difficult messages, to illustrate how taking a moment to pause can lead to greater clarity and agency. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to create intentional moments of stillness in their lives, setting the stage for deeper discussions in future episodes.TakeawaysPause creates awareness before action.A pause prevents reactive living.Alignment requires space for reflection.The moment of stillness helps you see things with better clarity.Is the life that you're building one that you actually want to live?

Clinical trial complexity is rising with more procedures, endpoints, and technology, yet sites are turning these pressures into pathways for improvement. In this episode of WCG Talks Trials, host Jenna Goeller sits down with Trevor Cole to unpack practical ways research sites sustain readiness, build resilience, and spark innovation amid frequent protocol amendments and technology overload. Together, they explore what's changing on the ground and how sites are responding with stronger feasibility reviews, capacity planning, streamlined protocol advocacy, and risk‑proportionate oversight – all grounded in Quality by Design and the updated ICH E6(R3) guidance.Listeners will hear data‑driven insights on:The operational ripple effects of complexity, including resource strain, rework from amendments, and tech support burdens, and what's working to reduce them.Day‑to‑day applications of risk‑based quality management, data governance, and proportionality to protect participant safety and data integrity.Culture and maturity for empowering teams, mapping processes before SOPs, continuous training, Correction and Preventive Action (CAPA) discipline, and knowledge sharing across silos.How sponsors and CROs can better support sites through integrated technology, protocol simplification, early collaboration, and transparent communications.Turning complexity into growth by investing in people and processes, using fit‑for‑purpose tech (including selective AI use), and engaging local communities.Speakers:Jenna Goeller, Associate Director, Clinical Trial Insights & Analytics, WCGTrevor Cole, Program Director, Clinical Solutions & Partnering, WCG

How does a bird experience a city? A backyard? A park? As the world has become more urban, noisier from increased traffic, and brighter from streetlights and office buildings, it has also become more dangerous for countless species of birds.  In The Bird-Friendly City, Timothy Beatley, a longtime advocate for intertwining the built and natural environments, takes readers on a global tour of cities that are reinventing the status quo with birds in mind. Efforts span a fascinating breadth of approaches: public education, urban planning and design, habitat restoration, architecture, art, civil disobedience, and more. Also check out...Biophilic CitiesThe Promise of Bird-Friendly CitiesSupport the showConnect with me at...

Design for Security from the Start: Making Medical Device Cybersecurity More ResilientMedTech innovation is revolutionizing healthcare but is also introducing new cyberattack vectors that can put manufacturers, hospitals, and patients at risk.In Episode 44 of the MedTech Speed to Data Podcast, Key Tech VP of Business Development Andy Rogers and Senior Computer Engineer Jamie Kendall discuss the FDA's latest cybersecurity guidance.Need to knowSmart, connected devices have greater risks — Medical devices are emerging vectors for bad actors targeting the healthcare industry.FDA's 2025 cybersecurity guidance update — The agency recommends risk-based development frameworks to make device cybersecurity more resilient.Clarifying “cyber devices” — The FDA's guidance applies to any medical device that runs software and could connect to the Internet.The nitty-gritty“Cybersecurity was always baked into our process,” Jaime explains. More specifically, Key Tech has adapted the TIR57 risk-based standard for managing medical device security to the new rules. “[The FDA's] 2023 guidance really laid the groundwork for our latest process. We've tweaked it slightly with the [latest update]. There are more explicit documentation requirements around vulnerability monitoring and more details on the software bill of materials (SBOMs).”Jamie goes on to describe how Key Tech's cybersecurity risk management plan informs product development. The security team starts by developing a threat model based on evaluations of data flows, data storage, and the cybersecurity activities protecting that data. “One of the first things that we always do is a threat model. This is a visual model of the system to show the elements of the device, where data is flowing, and where your trust boundaries are. This is a one-page, digestible visual that everyone can look at, assess, and go ‘yep, that makes sense' and then build your initial architecture and risk assessment based on that.”The security team documents the resulting security architectures using the FDA's recommended views:Global System View: Describes how software integrates with hardware and networks and the associated cybersecurity mitigations.Multi-Patient Harm View: Identifies mitigations for vulnerabilities or failures that could compromise multiple devices and harm multiple patients.Updateability/Patchability View: Summarizes the end-to-end process for distributing software updates and patches, especially if manufacturers do not control the entire path.Security Use Case View: Documents scenarios in which vulnerabilities can compromise the device's safety or effectiveness.“To give a sense of scale,” Jamie says, “this isn't one or two documents. It's a pretty large effort, and it's one of those things that you want to start early in your development process.”Data that made the difference:Throughout his conversation with Andy, Jamie shares some of the lessons Key Tech has learned about designing secure medical devices, including:Design for security from the beginning. Late changes are expensive, especially once in pre-production or after your FDA submission.Avoid cyber rabbit holes. Rather than addressing every possible threat, use data and risk to prioritize the real threats.Don't roll your own cybersecurity. Stick to standard practices, or you risk introducing unknown, novel vulnerabilities.Fully document your SBOMs. Standard libraries introduce layers of dependencies that you must understand. That's the only way to control your exposure to new vulnerabilities.Design devices that are truly safe. Cybersecurity risks are real. Don't treat compliance as a check box.Watch the whole conversation in the video below to learn more about designing for cybersecurity, the importance of third-party penetration testing, and more.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Deanna Van Buren and Adrienne Hogg to the Restorative Works! Podcast.  We are joined by Deanna Van Buren, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Designing Justice + Designing Spaces (DJDS), and Adrienne Hogg, Co-Executive Director of Community Works. Together, we explore how spaces, rooms, buildings, and environments in which we gather directly shape our nervous systems, our sense of dignity, and our ability to repair harm. Deanna reframes "trauma-informed design" as designing for well-being, offering a body–mind–spirit lens on how spaces can regulate, inspire, and care for us. Adrienne shares how Community Works brings this philosophy to life by creating warm, culturally rooted, non-institutional spaces where young people, survivors, families, and staff feel seen, grounded, and capable of restoration.  From reimagining classroom design in higher education to redefining what justice spaces can communicate, the conversation weaves together architecture, community wisdom, creative practice, and systems change. Both guests illuminate how co-designing that deeply involves communities, including those most impacted by harm, becomes its own restorative practice.  Deanna Van Buren is the co-founder and executive director of Designing Justice + Designing Spaces. An architecture and real estate nonprofit working to end mass incarceration through place-based solutions, DJDS builds infrastructure that addresses its root causes: poverty, racism, unequal access to resources, and the criminal justice system itself. Van Buren has been profiled by  The New York Times and has written op-eds on the intersection of design and mass incarceration in outlets such as Politico, Architectural Record, and Stanford Social Innovation Review. Her TEDWomen talk on what a world without prisons could look like has been viewed more than one million times. She is the only architect to have been awarded the Rauschenberg Artist as Activist fellowship, and she is also the recipient of UC Berkeley's Berkeley-Rupp Architecture Prize and Professorship. Van Buren received her bachelor's degree in architecture from the University of Virginia and her master's degree from Columbia University, and she is an alumna of the Loeb Fellowship at Harvard's Graduate School of Design.  Adrienne Hogg is co-executive director at Community Works.  In this role, she focuses on finance, administration, and operations in addition to working with her co-executive director on strategic and development activities. Prior to joining Community Works, Adrienne founded Gather Locally, a startup e-commerce technology company.  Before starting Gather Locally, Adrienne was the head of finance and controller for several public and private corporations in the life sciences and construction industries, where she managed accounting, finance, human resources, legal, and facilities. She is an Oakland native who received bachelor's and master's degrees from the UC Berkeley, Haas School of Business.  Tune in to learn more about how the spaces we build reflect the futures we believe in. 

When Is the Right Time to Open a Second Shop?Opening another shop is often seen as the obvious next step in retail growth.But knowing when to do it, and whether your business is actually ready, is far harder.In this episode of Resilient Retail Game Plan, we look at what really changes when you move from one shop to two, and then beyond.With thanks to this episode's sponsor SumUp.Get 10% off SumUp hardware with the code GamePlan10 at https://sumup.co.ukI'm Catherine Erdly, and this is Resilient Retail Game Plan — practical product business advice with a healthy dose of reality.This isn't about chasing expansion for the sake of it. And it's not a checklist for opening multiple locations.It's about timing, clarity, and understanding whether the business you have today can genuinely support what comes next.I'm joined by independent retailer Sarah Holmes, from Pencil Me In, who has grown from one shop to three across different locations in Scotland. Together, we unpack how those decisions were made, what changed at each stage, and why the second shop is often the hardest.In this episode, we cover:How to tell if your current shop is ready to support growthWhy growth often feels like exposure rather than reliefWhat changes when each location needs a different roleHow buying mistakes multiply once you have more than one shopWhy clarity matters more than creativity in multi-store retailLetting go of control without losing standardsWe also talk about how expansion changes your relationship with risk, cash, and your team, and why growth should support the life you want to run, not just the business you want to build.If you're running one shop and wondering whether there could be more, or you're already managing multiple locations and want it to feel simpler, this episode will help you think more clearly about what growth should look like for you.Chapters 00:00 Why growth is a timing question, not a goal 01:16 From one shop to three and why pacing matters 06:19 Why growth feels like exposure, not relief 09:30 Why each shop needs a clear job to do 11:03 Specialising instead of stocking everything 15:32 The danger of unchecked buying decisions 18:08 Using data to protect cash as you grow 22:22 Letting go without losing control 29:46 Choosing growth that fits your lifeLinks Retail by Design: https://www.resilientretailclub.com/retail-by-design Resilient Retail Club: https://www.resilientretailclub.com Listen on your favourite podcast app:

Apple's new subscription creative app bundle is now available for users. This is the daily Tech and Business Report. Today, KCBS Radio anchor Holly Quan spoke with by Bloomberg's Chris Welch.

Technology is changing so fast that it is impossible to predict the next twelve days. Despite that, we have asked Travis Rosiek, Public Sector CTO at Rubrik, to gaze into his crystal ball and make some predictions for the next twelve months. The good news is that Rosiek sees a shift from intellectual property theft to disruptive attacks on critical infrastructure. The bad news is that Rosiek thinks attacks are increasing to the point that an event will light a fire under the current cybersecurity plans. During the interview, the concept of Zero Trust was unpacked. The idea is that federal systems have already been breached. As a result, the focus must be on microsegmentation, with permission as the limiting factor. Roseik's opinion is that malicious actors have planted code into systems that are acting as "sleepers." At one time in the indeterminate future, this code can be invoked, and severe damage can take place. If this nightmare situation occurs, the best defense is to have recovery built in. Today, leaders must have a system in place to restore data from backups. Unfortunately, malicious actors know this plan as well and have been known to insert code into backups that renders them useless. In a complex game of attack and counterattack, Roseik believes that a recovery strategy that includes immutable backups and an audit mechanism is the best approach in the 21st-century world of threats and countermeasures. He also stressed the necessity of reducing complexity to enhance cybersecurity and the need for initiative-taking measures, including regular stress testing and resilience training. = = Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com  

When you are designing a stadium for the World Cup, or any major sport, it's vital to have a fan's-eye view. For more than a century, the architects tasked with designing stadiums have used the C-value, developed by Victorian theatre designer John Russel. But this value just measures the view in one direction, towards the stage. Sporting events are viewed in the round, with fans all around the stadium bowl. In this episode, we hear from Mark Fenwick, whose practice has designed stadiums for the Qatar World Cup, and for leading European football teams. He explains how Fenwick Iribarren has built on the Victorian concept of C-values and sightlines in theatre design, with the FI-Factor, a new system for mapping the spectators' view from each seat in a stadium. Mark describes the sub-factors considered, explains how this was first used during bidding for a new world cup stadium at Education City in Qatar, its subsequent use in Valencia, and its scope for use on other stadiums. Guest Mark Fenwick, Partner, Fenwick Iribarren Architects Partner Egis is a leading global architectural, consulting, construction engineering, operations and mobility services firm. Egis creates and operates intelligent infrastructure and buildings that both respond to the climate emergency and contribute to balanced, sustainable and resilient development.Its 22,000 employees operate across over 100 countries, deploying their expertise to develop and deliver cutting-edge innovations and solutions for clients.

In this weeks episode we launch the new 'Proust Photo Quiz'. Friend of the podcast photographer Harry Borden is the first to take the questions on... The Proust Questionnaire is a set of questions answered by the French writer Marcel Proust. Proust answered the questionnaire in a confession album, titled An Album to Record Thoughts, Feelings, etc. The album was found in 1924 and published in the French literary journal Les Cahiers du Mois. Our 'Proust Photo Quiz' is an adaption of the original text. Harry Borden was born in New York and brought up on a farm in Devon in the South West of England. He studied photography at Plymouth College of Art and Design. Borden moved to London after graduation, where he worked as an assistant for the photographer Lester Bookbinder. He received his first commission from The Observer in 1994 and continued to work for the title until the present day photographing celebrities, musicians, creatives and politicians. Examples of Borden's work are held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery, London and National Portrait Gallery, Australia and appeared regularly in Harpers & Queen, Vogue and The New Yorker. In June 2005, he had his first solo exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London titled Harry Borden: On Business which included 30 portraits of leading business leaders. In 2017 his book Survivor, A Portrait of the Survivors of the Holocaust was published having been shortlisted for the European Publishers Award for Photography in 2014. It was later judged among the 10 best photography books of 2018 by the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation. In 2021 his second book Single Dad was published by Hoxton Mini Press. He continues to work on a commissioned basis and on personal work, whilst also lecturing on the MA Professional Photography at Oxford Brookes University.

A experiência poderia ter matado o Oscar. Mas, em vez disso, mudou a vida dele para sempre. Em vez de se tornar mais um cirurgião atuando em Porto Alegre, ele arrumou a mochila e partiu para o norte do Brasil. Tornou-se um cirurgião nômade, criando pontes entre mundos diversos e mudando vidas nessa jornada.Episódios relacionados⁠89: Viagem ao centro do mundo⁠⁠29: E se a gente fosse índio?⁠Mergulhe mais fundo⁠Expedição da saúde faz mutirão de cirurgias em aldeia da Amazônia⁠Ficha técnicaApoio de produção e edição: Matheus Marcolino.Mixagem de som: Vitor Coroa.Trilha sonora tema: Paulo Gama.Design das capas dos aplicativos e do site: Cláudia Furnari.Direção, roteiro e edição: Tomás Chiaverini.

Doctronic became the first AI in the world legally licensed to practice medicine through Utah's AI Learning Lab regulatory sandbox in December 2025. In this episode of BUILDERS, I sat down with Matt Pavelle, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Doctronic, to learn how he and his co-founder (a physician) launched an AI-powered primary care chatbot in September 2023, validated demand through Facebook chronic condition groups and minimal Google Ads spend, and navigated uncharted regulatory territory to offer $4 prescription renewals for chronic conditions—targeting the medication non-adherence problem that causes 125,000 preventable deaths and costs $100B annually. Topics Discussed: Why friends with excellent health insurance still couldn't get medical answers quickly Building clinical accuracy into GPT-3.5 when context windows were small and hallucinations were rampant The tactical launch: Google Ads plus Facebook chronic condition groups in September 2023 Architecting safety: RAG with tens of thousands of physician-written clinical guidelines The study: 99.2% agreement rate between AI treatment plans and human doctor reviews across 500 patients Navigating Utah's AI Learning Lab: the only regulatory sandbox that mitigated medical licensing laws Securing AI malpractice insurance through Lloyd's Market—a first in the industry The three-phase oversight model: 100% human review, then 10%, then spot checks Expansion strategy: targeting other state regulatory sandboxes and international governments GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Launch with the minimum feature set that proves your core hypothesis: Pavelle shipped Doctronic in September 2023 without user accounts—chats disappeared when closed unless users saved them manually. Within days, user requests for persistent chat history validated demand. The insight: your MVP should test one assumption, not solve every user need. If you're hesitating to launch because features are missing, ask whether those features are actually required to validate your hypothesis or just things you assume users want. Use specificity to unlock early adoption in skeptical markets: Rather than targeting "healthcare" broadly, Pavelle posted in Facebook groups for specific chronic conditions, offering a free AI backed by clinical guidelines. Half the groups banned them for commercial activity, but the other half engaged immediately. The lesson: in regulated or skeptical markets, narrow targeting with explicit safety mechanisms (clinical guidelines, physician co-founder credibility) converts better than broad positioning. Identify where your skeptics congregate and address their specific objections upfront. Design system architecture to prevent failure modes, not just tune models: Doctronic's safety architecture separates AI decision-making from prescription execution. The LLM asks questions and determines renewal safety, but deterministic code outside the AI verifies the prescription exists, checks dosage accuracy, and confirms the schedule. Even if adversarial prompting compromises the LLM, the deterministic layer prevents bad outcomes. Founders building high-stakes AI products should architect multiple independent verification layers rather than relying on prompt engineering or temperature tuning alone. Target regulatory pain points with quantified deaths and costs: Pavelle approached Utah with specific numbers: 125,000 preventable deaths annually from medication non-adherence, 30-40% caused by renewal friction, and a $100B economic burden. These statistics—combined with Utah's rural population and physician shortage—made the problem impossible to ignore. When approaching regulators, lead with mortality and cost data that make inaction untenable, not just efficiency gains or convenience improvements. Regulatory sandboxes require proof of safety methodology, not just technology demos: Utah's AI Learning Lab didn't just grant Doctronic permission—they required a three-phase oversight structure where human physicians review 100% of initial prescriptions in each medication class, then 10%, then ongoing spot checks. Pavelle also secured AI malpractice insurance through Lloyd's Market before launch. The insight: regulatory innovation offices want risk mitigation frameworks, not promises. Build and fund your oversight methodology before approaching regulators, and treat insurance underwriting as a third-party validation of your safety claims. Publish clinical validation studies before scaling—they become your regulatory and sales asset: The study showing 99.2% agreement between Doctronic's AI and human physicians across 500 patient encounters became the foundation for regulatory conversations and public trust. Founders in regulated spaces should budget for formal validation studies early—these aren't marketing expenses, they're the permission structure for everything that follows. Work backward from what regulators and enterprise buyers need to see, then design studies that generate that specific evidence. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.
