Five minutes doesn't sound like enough time to change much. But if you are spending big chunks of your time sitting, thinking, working, or scrolling, getting up for just 5 minutes at regular intervals can change everything. Journalist and broadcaster Manoush Zomorodi has spent years investigating what the digital, sedentary life is doing to us. Three years ago, her Body Electric podcast invited listeners to take part in a Columbia University study, testing what happened when people got up and moved regularly for just five minutes. Now the results are in, and they're the basis for her new book that shows how surprisingly small changes can make a big difference to our bodies and brains from blood pressure to posture, eyesight to productivity. The Book is called Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being.

How Customer Experience (CX), Not Technology, Should Drive Business Strategy    Shep interviews Clifford Hudson, the former CEO of Sonic and co-author of Bricks and Clicks: How We Drove Sonic Into the Digital Age. He talks about how business leaders must let customer needs and convenience drive their strategy rather than technology.    This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:      How do you build a business strategy around customer experience instead of technology?    How does removing customer friction lead to higher sales and retention?   What is the biggest mistake companies make when implementing new technology?   How does increasing customer convenience drive long-term business value?   Why do customer-centric companies outlast competitors?   Top Takeaways:     Start with the customer experience, not the technology. Begin by understanding what customers need and the experience they want. Then work backward to determine which technologies or processes will improve that experience. Technology should support the strategy, not become the strategy itself.   Use technology to strengthen what makes your brand stand out. Every new initiative, whether it is a new tool or a process, should strengthen the qualities that distinguish your brand.   Successful businesses are the ones who can anticipate their customers' needs. Hudson mentions Wanye Gretzki's famous line, "skate to where the puck is going." Keep your eyes open for what your customers are doing and what they need. Shifts in customer behavior, even small ones like how they order or how they prefer to pay, are trends you can plan to stay ahead of.    Customers should be the center of every decision that a company makes. View every new action, process, or product through the lens of how it can better serve customers. Companies that put customers first outperform those that don't.   The right technology should make life easier for your customers. Before investing in new technology, always ask: Does this make things easier and more convenient for the customers we serve?   Great ideas matter, but putting them into action is what really makes a difference. A customer-focused strategy creates the direction, and good execution turns it into great customer experience.   Plus, Shep and Cliff discuss more ideas from Bricks and Clicks: How We Drove Sonic Into the Digital Age. Tune in!   Quote:     "Don't think about technology. Think about your customer and their experience and go from there."   About:      Clifford Hudson, co-author of Bricks and Clicks and former CEO of Sonic Corp. for 23 years. He helps organizations drive value through customer-centric innovation.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What do we lose when we swap our source for connection and intimacy from a human to an AI chatbot? Is there a significant psychological impact? Sherry Turkle is a professor of social studies of science and technology at MIT and the founding director of MIT's Initiative on Technology and Self. Her work specializes in the psychological and social impact of technology, with books like Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other, Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age, and her latest book Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines. Sherry and Greg discuss how AI is forcing society to examine and redefine “empathy,” what this moment we're in says about technological affordance meeting human vulnerability, and why guardrails on AI for children are not enough to keep them safe from psychological damage. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:When AI feels like empathy05:45: Computer brings philosophy into everyday life. It's one thing to be in seminars, to be in academic journals, and participate in generations of debates between behaviorists and psychoanalysts, psychoanalysts and neuroscientists. I've been there through the arc of that debate. It's another thing to say, "You know, I think I'll not bother to try to find a lover, a partner. I think I'll just be satisfied with my AI who talks to me as if it were one." Now, that's taking behaviorism, sounds like, says the right things, and puts it into your daily life in a way that all the debates that you're talking about, really did not.The damage starts with “I am your friend”32:00: Damage doesn't start when the chatbot says something destructive or self-harm or suggests violence or suggests your parents are bad. The damage to children doesn't start when the chatbot does something and you need a guardrail. The damage starts by the existence of a chatbot that says, "I am your friend."The illusion of empathy in AI13:14: So it's in a play, and it's entrained you to be in its play. And together, you are having a kind of pretend interaction that on paper looks like empathy is kind of happening. But in fact, there's only one person in that play, and it's you, allowing yourself to feel comforted by something that feels no empathy at all.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Erik Erikson Alan Turing George Armitage Miller Jean Piaget “Meta to Pay Up to $17.1 Billion in Landmark Settlement Over Social Media Addiction Claims” | New York Times “Are we still human if robots help raise our babies?” Sarah Hrdy | TED ELIZA Blade RunnerGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at MITProfessional WebsiteProfessional Profile on XGuest Work:Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to MachinesAlone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each OtherPsychoanalytic PoliticsThe Second Self: Computers and the Human SpiritLife on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the InternetReclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital AgeIf you enjoyed this show, here are some other unSILOed episodes you may like:Christine RosenCoco Krumme Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

AI can build a course in minutes. That should be the best news our industry has had in years. Instead, a lot of teams are skipping what really matters: working out what the problem is, and checking whether anything changed. In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross G and Cammy Bean are joined by Tim Slade, founder of The eLearning Designer's Academy, to explore how learning design is changing and what is left for the humans doing it. We discuss: Why AI shifts the work from 'building' to 'diagnosing and evaluating' Why order takers are exposed and performance consultants are not Whether portfolios can still be trusted to demonstrate capability. Tim's new book, The Instructional Design Handbook: A Practitioner's Guide to Designing Performance-Based Learning, is available now. Cammy's book, The Accidental Instructional Designer: Learning Design for the Digital Age, is published by ATD Press. Tim also shares his thinking on where the industry is heading on his YouTube channel. During the conversation, Ross G referenced Julie Dirksen's work on performance gaps. Julie joined us recently to look back over ten years of L&D in episode 500. In 'What I Learned this Week', Cammy shared her method for crispy tofu: press it, tear it rather than cut it, dust it with cornstarch through a fine mesh sieve, then bake it on the top shelf. Tim learned, for the second time in his life, that selling a house is no fun. And Ross G shared the 2026 Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report on brands, which finds that trust now sits alongside quality and value for money in how people decide what to buy.

On this episode of Reaganism, Roger Zakheim sits down with Karan Bhatia to discuss how AI is transforming the global economy and why existing trade rules must evolve to address digital services, data localization, intellectual-property demands, and other modern barriers. Bhatia argues that digital trade affects far more than major technology companies, influencing manufacturers, farmers, small businesses, workers, and consumers worldwide. They examine the need for internationally aligned standards grounded in fair competition and innovation, Europe's regulatory and competitiveness challenges, the importance of US collaboration with allies, and China's rapid progress in AI. The conversation concludes with the potential for US-China dialogue on AI safety, the role of open- and closed-source models, the importance of lowering costs, and Reagan's principle that technology combined with freedom creates opportunity and progress.

Corruption in procurement is changing. It is no longer simply a buyer taking a bribe from a supplier. Nor does it exist only in certain geographies or industries. As global supply networks become more complex, risks are becoming harder to spot, from hidden beneficial ownership and inflated intermediary fees to manipulated e-auctions, tailored specifications and AI-generated documentation designed to look legitimate. We're joined by Sope Williams, Distinguished Visiting Professor in Government Contracts Law at George Washington University and CIPS Global Head of Sustainability Maxfield Weiss, to explore why corruption remains a persistent challenge in modern supply chains. And what procurement professionals can do about it. We discuss why traditional compliance programmes often fail to change behaviour, how technology can both expose and enable misconduct, and why digital literacy is now a core procurement competency. The conversation also examines the importance of asking difficult questions early, strengthening transparency across supply chains, and ensuring that subcontractors and their suppliers can be trusted. Plus, why leaders must "walk the talk" and give their teams genuine authority to challenge corrupt practices. Further reading: Learn more about the CIPS Ethics test - free for CIPS members!

Focusing on U.S. academic libraries, The Reinvention of the U.S. Academic Library: 1990 – 2025 (2025, Bloomsbury) provides a concise history of the traditional role and function of academic libraries from their earliest times up to the dawn of the Digital Age and the spread of digital technology into all aspects of academic research and scholarly communication. This book analyzes how digital technology has transformed, over the course of a few swift decades, not only the role and function of academic libraries, but also the nature of scholarly communication itself. Specifically, The Reinvention of the U.S. Academic Library: 1990 - 2025 discusses how digital technology has changed the way academic libraries acquire and exercise bibliographic control over collections, provides equitable access to information, and instructs and guide students, faculty, and others. Guest: Donald A. Barclay worked as an academic librarian from 1990 until his retirement in 2022, holding during his library career positions at New Mexico State University, the University of Houston, the Texas Medical Center, and the University of California, Merced. During his career, he devoted much of his time and interest to teaching students how to think critically about the information they encountered in their academic, professional, personal, and civic lives. Working in academic libraries during a time when digital technology was expanding into every aspect of human life allowed him to both closely observe and actively participate in the biggest technological changes to humanity's relationship with information since the advent of printing from moveable type.  Barclay has authored numerous articles and books over the course of his career on topics ranging from the literature of the American West to children's literature to library and information science.  Barclay earned his bachelor's degree from Boise State University and holds masters' degrees in both English and Library and Information Science from the University of California, Berkeley.

For this week's episode, we're pleased to speak with Martin Kimmel, President & Co-Founder of Kimmel Architecture, about how thoughtful campus design can strengthen institutional identity in an era of financial constraints and evolving student expectations. They discuss why the most effective campus projects aren't necessarily the biggest or most expensive, but the ones that reinforce an institution's mission, improve the student experience, and make the smartest use of existing spaces. From reimagining libraries and aging facilities to balancing online education with the enduring value of physical campuses, Martin makes the case that authentic, mission-driven design helps colleges create places where students truly feel they belong.Guest Name: Martin Kimmel - President & Co-Founder of Kimmel ArchitectureGuest Social: LinkedInGuest Bio: Martin Kimmel has more than 30 years of architectural design, land planning, historic preservation/restoration and project management experience.

Scaling a brand and protecting what makes it distinct aren't the same goal, and knowing the difference separates lasting growth from quiet erosion. For 23 years as CEO of Sonic Corp, Clifford Hudson guided the drive-in chain through decades of growth and helped engineer one of the quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry's most successful digital reinventions. Now co-author of Bricks and Clicks: How We Drove Sonic Into the Digital Age, Hudson joins Jeremy Goldman to unpack what it takes to scale a brand without losing what makes it distinct. INSIDE THE EPISODE: - Scaling without sacrificing differentiation. Why growth efficiencies belong in the "plumbing": purchasing, distribution, and physical operations. The pair examines why cutting corners on customer-facing brand elements in the name of scale can quietly undermine the brand it was meant to strengthen operations. - How Sonic turned drinks and ice cream into a signature advantage. A menu overhaul drove 12% systemwide comps in its first year and a 40% increase in average store-level profitability. Sonic reached $1 billion in system sales in 1997, then $2 billion four years later. - The CUPID framework for evaluating new strategies. Customer, Users, Profit, Innovation, and Differentiation: A filter Hudson and co-author Craig Miller use to determine whether a new initiative is actually worth pursuing. - Technology should serve the brand, not the other way around. How leaders can bring AI and digital tools into their business in ways that augment the customer experience instead of reshaping the brand around the technology. "Companies really should dig in on why things are going right just as they do when things don't go well." Listen above to hear Hudson's perspective on building brand loyalty that lasts, and what today's retail leaders can learn from one of QSR's most enduring transformations.

Why are kids more addicted to screens than ever before? The answer may have a lot to do with how quickly technology has changed the way children grow up. In this episode of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie break down how phones, tablets, video games, and constant access to entertainment are impacting the way children think, communicate, problem-solve, and interact with the world around them. From instant gratification and declining creativity to frustration, perseverance, and social development, they discuss why constantly having entertainment available can make it harder for kids to embrace boredom, work through challenges, and enjoy the process of accomplishing something. They also discuss practical ways parents can create healthier boundaries around technology, including limiting devices at home, keeping phones out of bedrooms, encouraging activities away from screens, and recognizing how your own technology habits influence what your children do. If you're a parent trying to raise healthy, resilient kids in a world where screens are everywhere, this episode will help you better understand the problem and start building healthier technology habits at home. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Why Are Kids So Dependent on Screens? 01:07 – Growing Up Before the Digital Age 05:57 – How Technology Changed Childhood 07:01 – Why Screens Start So Young 08:41 – The Problem With Instant Gratification 09:57 – What Kids Are Missing Because of Screens 10:44 – Why Kids Give Up So Quickly 12:01 – Teaching Kids to Work Through Problems 13:17 – Why Kids Need to Struggle 14:48 – How Constant Entertainment Hurts Creativity 16:08 – How Screens Are Changing the Way Kids Communicate 17:04 – Setting Healthy Screen Boundaries at Home 18:46 – Should Phones Be Allowed in the Bedroom? 19:18 – Your Kids Are Mirroring Your Screen Habits If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode of the Prime Family Podcast. #ScreenTime #KidsAndTechnology #ParentingTips #HealthyKids #DigitalParenting #ChildDevelopment #FamilyHealth #Parenting #PrimeFamilyPodcast

For as long as people have been telling stories, these supernatural beings have been lurking in the woods, or in the dark alleys, or under the bed.

Free 10 Day Couples Challenge Try Relationship Academy Can artificial intelligence ever truly replace the messy, necessary friction that defines genuine human intimacy? While emerging technology promises seamless interactions and shortcut solutions to interpersonal conflict, relying on smooth algorithms can quietly erode the reciprocity and vulnerability required for deep bonds. In this episode, tech journalist Bridget Todd joins the hosts to discuss navigating AI in our personal lives while maintaining authentic connection, intentional transparency, and personal agency. Main Talking Points: Human Versus Artificial Intimacy Value of Relational Friction Prioritizing Transparency and Consent Preserving Genuine Reciprocity Corporate Extraction Concerns Reclaiming Personal Agency True relational health doesn't come from outsourcing our emotional labor to algorithms, but from actively choosing presence and honesty amidst life's friction.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Work at Home RockStar Podcast, Tim Melanson chats with Robert Siciliano, owner of Protect Now LLC, about building a long-term work-from-home solopreneur business and the security habits every remote entrepreneur needs to avoid scams, data breaches, and account takeovers. Robert shares his biggest business mistake, hiring "experts" without fully understanding the work himself, and how AI is now helping people shorten that learning curve by researching and asking better questions before they hire. He also explains how criminals are using AI to scale phishing and fraud, and why the "attack surface" for remote workers has grown so much since COVID. The conversation dives into the core protections every work-from-home business owner should have in place: unique long, strong passwords, a password manager, and two-factor authentication, along with VPNs on public Wi-Fi. Robert walks through his "strategic human firewall" mindset, moving from trust by default to verifying everything, and touches on the next evolution of password security, passkeys. Who is Robert Siciliano? Recognized as the media's go-to cybersecurity expert and creator of The Strategic Human Firewall™, Robert Siciliano is a private investigator, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), and the CEO of Protect Now, LLC. As one of the nation's most trusted voices on cybercrime and identity theft, he has built an unparalleled media track record, appearing on over 500 television shows, contributing to over 1,000 radio programs, and being featured as an expert source in over 3,000 articles. A fierce advocate for personal and professional security, Robert is the architect of the CSI Protection certification and a bestselling author who strips away technical jargon to deliver "straight talk" solutions. His expertise is regularly sought by every major network, including CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and The Today Show, where he empowers viewers to protect their data, privacy, and wealth from modern threats. During the episode, Robert also shared that he has been a solopreneur since early 2001 and, in his own words, considers himself "unemployable" at this point, having built his business entirely around working on his own schedule.

I've been away for a couple months and there's a good reason why, so let's catch up. In this episode I'm getting real about the biggest life change we've made in years, why I paused right in the middle of launching a legacy product, and the one regret from building our dream lake house that I never saw coming until it hit me on our last walk through the neighborhood.  But this isn't just a life update. I'm pulling back the curtain on how I'm running my online business differently now, why I tested going fully human in my DMs instead of letting automation do all the talking, and why that one decision converted 80 percent of the conversations I had into sales. If you've ever wondered what freedom actually looks like once you've built something successful, or you're rethinking how much of your online business should run on autopilot versus real connection, this one is going to hit home.

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Raza joins Matt Abrahams to explore how to make complex ideas accessible, ask questions that spark meaningful conversations, and communicate with both confidence and humility. From writing punchier questions to embracing uncertainty, she shares practical strategies for becoming a more thoughtful and engaging communicator.Key Takeaways:Confidence grows through curiosity. The strongest communicators stay open to new ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and leave room to learn rather than assuming they have all the answers.Simple questions create meaningful conversations. Clear, concise questions—and a focus on what matters most—help make complex ideas more accessible and engaging.Activity:Write better questions. Take an upcoming meeting, interview, or one-on-one and rewrite three of your questions so each is nine words or fewer.
