Smart, competent business owners tend to lose IQ points the second the conversation turns to their finances. Heidi DeCoux built something to fix exactly that. In this episode, Kelly sits down with Heidi, the founder of Cashflowy.AI to talk about why so many solopreneurs freeze around their numbers, the brutal co-founder situation Heidi had to fight her way out of before she could bring the tool to life (and the three lessons that saved her), and how an AI CFO named Clara is making "how much can I safely pay myself this month?" a question you can finally answer.

Armenia is a hot bed of tech. It is a think tank for AI, NVIDIA is building a plant and IT is taught to elementary aged children. I was looking for certain types of guests for the show; people in unusual circumstances, fighting a social battle or just following thier heart into the unknown. Well, that spells L-U-I-Z-A! A Phd turned passionate wine advocate, hear here story here. It's not every day your podcast guest goes from debugging algorithms to bottling award-winning wine, but that's what makes this episode unforgettable. Our guest, the founder of Musa Wines and a leading tech entrepreneur, shares a story where the digital world collides with the deep roots of Armenian winemaking. She opens up about how crafting wine is her way to stay grounded in a fast-changing world where AI and software reshape daily life, and brings us inside the journey that took her from financial engineering to international wine competitions. What listeners may not expect is how she exposes the unique frictions, and yes—controversy—of entering a market where vodka and beer threaten to drown out an industry striving for cultural rebirth. In Armenia, making wine is more than a business. It's a statement about identity. You'll hear remarkable anecdotes about the breakneck pace of innovation in Armenian tech contrasted with the humbling, unhurried tempo of winemaking. There's the surprising revelation that, despite Armenia's patriarchal reputation, women are not just participating in the wine industry—they're changing it. And as she recounts organizing and participating in global wine spectacles, she lifts the lid on the tough realities and triumphs of launching an artisan winery in a crowded, sometimes indifferent market. Amidst all the excitement, the struggle to win over local consumers (more inclined toward vodka than vino) and to compete internationally brings both humor and frustration—and sparks a conversation about what it truly takes to produce heritage, not just another product. Most intriguingly, this episode doesn't shy away from the tough stuff. You'll hear candid reflections on the business risks of losing access to key export markets like Russia due to political tensions and the pressure to educate both Armenian and global palates used to formulaic, mass-market wine. Our guest's experience shines a light on the intersection of tradition, innovation, and the boldness required to carve a space for something authentic in an often unforgiving industry. What you will learn: How Armenia's tech-savvy talent fuels both innovation and tradition in its burgeoning wine industry The challenges—and controversy—of making artisan wine in a country with low local consumption and stiff foreign competition Why women are rising to prominence in Armenian winemaking and redefining industry norms Practical insights into the gritty logistics, global marketing, and deeply personal motivation behind building a boutique wine brand YouTube: https://youtu.be/ENYgMU8Dus4

On this episode, we're talking about something that affects millions of fertility patients—but that almost nobody talks about until the bill shows up: reproductive tissue storage.If you have embryos, eggs, or sperm in storage, you know the drill. Every year, another invoice arrives. Maybe it's $600. Maybe it's $800. Maybe it's over $1,000. Most people just pay it because they assume that's the cost. But what if it isn't? Ali's guest today is Charlie Boyer, CEO and Co-Founder of Generations CryoVault, and he's on a mission to shake up an industry that he believes has gotten way too comfortable charging fertility patients more and more for storage. Charlie's background is actually in financial services and cord blood storage, but after taking a closer look at reproductive tissue storage, he started asking some uncomfortable questions: Why are prices so high? Why don't patients know they have options? And why are so many clinics owned by private equity firms without patients even realizing it? In this conversation, Ali and Charlie talk about transparency, private equity, patient choice, and Generation CryoVault's new Pricing Promise, which aims to dramatically lower the cost of long-term embryo, egg, and sperm storage. They also discuss whoownsyourcare.org, how to find out who actually stores your tissue, and what questions every fertility patient should be asking their clinic. Whether you have embryos in storage right now, you're considering fertility treatment, or you're just curious about where all those fertility dollars are going, this is a fascinating conversation about an often-overlooked part of the family-building journey.For more info, go to https://gencryo.com/IG: @generationscryovaultEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

Water. The category that built its entire identity on pictures of waterfalls and asked consumers to just trust them. Clara got pregnant, started paying attention, and found out that no natural source in the US she tested was entirely free of contaminants.

Episode 353 hosts Dr John Delaney (Co-founder of Fresh Clinics) In this episode we explore the introduction of a new model of services for Australian aesthetic clinics called 'Fresh Health' - and its potential to reshape the landscape of aesthetics and primary care medicine.  Fresh Clinics already support injectors with technology to ensure compliance, training and higher standards. But Fresh Health is their next evolution that allows cosmetic clinics to offer additional medical services including for weight loss, menopause and hair loss consultations. This model is referred to as 'hybrid healthcare', blending in-person nurse-led consultations with telehealth specialists. We discuss why Fresh Health was launched and how it will help improve holistic patient care - whilst reinforcing the business success of existing clinics.  00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:32 What Fresh Clinics Does 01:29 Disrupting the Industry 04:01 Aesthetics Market in 2026 06:43 Trends Tox Filler Biostims 08:39 Why Fresh Health Started 11:08 Business Support Beyond Clinical 13:19 Fresh Health Explained 14:17 Hybrid Care and Patient Trust 25:23 Medicine 3.0 Optimization 29:33 HRT History and Misconceptions 32:38 How Hybrid Care Works 33:29 Nurse Telehealth Workflow 35:25 Wellness Meets Aesthetics 36:39 Whole Body Consultation Shift 38:22 Hybrid Care vs Online Only 40:12 Criticism and Governance 43:01 Peptides and Black Market Risks 46:44 Pricing and Subscriptions 49:51 Clinic Economics and Retention 51:54 Access and Rural Impact 54:50 Future Services Roadmap 57:30 Joining Fresh Network 01:00:11 Fresh Summit Wrap Up Links: Fresh Clinics (Australia) Fresh Clinics (USA) DOWNLOAD OUR NEW APP IA COMMUNITY: DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES THEN GET A FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION (after you've downloaded the app and signed up for free): FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS

Aparna Pujar, CEO and founder of Zemplee, joins host KJ to share how a personal experience as a remote caregiver for her aging parents in India sparked the creation of a passive, AI-powered senior care platform. She breaks down why the senior care industry is broken, why episodic care is no longer enough, and how continuous, lifestyle-integrated monitoring can reduce hospital days, prevent falls before they happen, and give older adults the dignity of staying home. Key Takeaways: 3:30 — Aparna founded Zemplee out of a deeply personal caregiving crisis, not a business opportunity, and her own parents were the first test cases. 7:58 — The senior care market is split: roughly 20% of seniors live in institutional settings while 80% live at home with little to no proactive monitoring until a crisis forces the issue. 25:27 — Zemplee's technology is fully passive and lifestyle-integrated, meaning sensors collect data in the background without adding any cognitive burden to the senior or caregiver. 26:17 — Women will spend a significant portion of their lives as caregivers and then eventually as care seekers, making the design of a better system a personal stake for nearly everyone.

On this episode of Talking Shop, we are joined by Nikki Baird, Vice President of Strategy and Product at Aptos. Nikki has spent decades separating technology hype from real-world consumer behavior. Today, we delve into the emergence of the "dark funnel" and how LLMs like ChatGPT are disrupting traditional retail search pipelines, breaking retail media networks, and forcing retailers to their re-evaluate product landing page. We also discuss why AI adoption is hitting a wall because foundational data integration is still broken, how to transition high-turnover staff away from traditional cash registers into mobile sales-enablement tools, and where the smartest retail IT leaders are reallocating their budgets for the second half of 2026 to ensure real ROI instead of just firefighting.

When mutual friends in the diabetes community kept telling Rob he had a doppelganger in LA, he figured they were exaggerating. Then he met Dylan Leonard — creative director, documentary filmmaker, college basketball player, type one diabetic, philosophy reader, world traveler — and yeah, the comparisons held up pretty well. Dylan was diagnosed at 15, having dropped 45 pounds before anyone realized something was wrong. He went from a hospital bed thinking he'd never eat sugar again to playing college basketball while managing T1D without a CGM, without a pump, and without knowing a single other person with diabetes for his first decade. What carried him through was activity — six hours of workouts a day during basketball season — and a mindset he's been intentionally building ever since through reading, travel, and genuinely hard conversations with himself. This episode goes wide. Rob and Dylan dig into Dylan's upcoming documentary Breaking Limits: Life on the Edge, which follows elite athletes with type one diabetes across seven different sports — from Olympic competitors to IndyCar drivers to American Ninja Warriors. Dylan invested his own money and thousands of hours into this project, not to make a cent, but to hand a 15-year-old sitting in a hospital bed the resource he never had. They also get into the philosophy of travel as the cheapest education on earth, why our brains literally haven't caught up to the abundance of modern life, the difference between manifesting and obsessing, and what a five-hour train conversation with a Norwegian stranger taught Dylan about human connection. Oh, and they're making plans to run a hoop session next time Rob's in LA. Cameras included.

Welcome to Episode 148 of ShiftLess! Coming at you straight from the mobile van studio, Kevin and Chef Brad dive deep into the gear trends dominating this year's Tour Divide. From the undeniable takeover of rear racks (shoutout Tailfin) over traditional saddlebags to the absolute dominance of Vittoria Mezcals, we are breaking down what the ultra-endurance crowd is actually running.We also get into the weeds on Scott's flat-bar Scale RC—is a 20lb rigid mountain bike really a "gravel" bike?—the disruptive arrival of X-Labs and XDS in the carbon market, and why we are still waiting for that 32-inch wheel revolution to finally hit the dirt.Then, things get real as we tackle the elephant in the peloton: performance-enhancing drugs. Are massive "carbs per hour" claims and extreme ketone use just a convenient mask for a new era of undetectable PEDs?

Hall of FantasyMurder at Midnight

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-11-2026: Dr. Dawn discusses fascia — the gelatinous network of sugary proteins, salts, and collagen bundles that has been known to acupuncturists and osteopaths for millennia but ignored in conventional medical training. New confocal laser endomicroscopy technology has finally visualized this "interstitium" as a fluid-filled space draining to lymph nodes, present throughout the GI tract, urinary bladder, dermis, and peribronchial tissues. The structure may play roles in cancer metastasis, edema, fibrosis, and mechanical tissue function. An emailer asks about elevated organic arsenic levels (from sardines) and ultra-filtered dairy. Dr. Dawn explains that arsenobetaine—the protein-bonded form found in fish, is harmless and passes through the body, while inorganic and methylated arsenic accumulate in bone and collagen-rich tissues. In a second question about the safety of ultrafiltered dairy, she notes ultra-filtered products may carry more microplastics from extensive plastic filters and tubing exposure, with aged cheese being particularly concentrated since water removal increases plastic density. An emailer asks about breast MRI contrast options. Dr. Dawn explains that breast MRI requires gadolinium contrast because tumors leak through their poorly-formed blood vessels, creating necessary visual contrast. She strongly recommends macrocyclic gadolinium (a stable birdcage structure) over the linear form, which slips into bones, skin, the brain's caudate nucleus, liver, and spleen for at least eight years and rarely, can cause nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. There is some suggestion it may trigger brain inflammation. She suggests listing linear gadolinium as a drug sensitivity in medical charts. Researchers harvested exosomes from semen. The exosomes evolved to help sperm penetrate egg barriers, making them ideal delivery vehicles for drugs too toxic for traditional administration. These bubble-like vesicles can penetrate the eye to distribute a manganese dioxide nanozyme compound (CMG) across ocular barriers to treat retinoblastoma, a childhood eye cancer typically requiring eyeball removal. Researchers used extracellular vesicles (effectively artificial exosomes) delivered via nasal spray to reverse brain aging in mice. The vesicles carried messenger RNA targeting the NLRP2 inflammasome, restoring mitochondrial activity in neurons and improving memory and recognition in treated animals. The nasal delivery route bypasses the blood-brain barrier, opening possibilities for treating cognitive deterioration without injections or surgical implants. An emailer reports his wife two inches shorter at a new Kaiser facility in another state. Dr. Dawn first considers measurement inconsistency (shoes on or off), then suggests evaluating for compression fractures, disc disease, and parathyroid tumors. She recommends a bone scan, C-terminal telopeptide testing to assess active bone breakdown, and intact PTH to rule out parathyroid pathology if osteoporosis is identified by DEXA scan. Dr. Dawn explores a new brain model addressing how 86 billion neurons store more memory than classical models predict. Astrocytes, previously known mainly for creating myelin sheaths, form tripartite synapses with neurons connecting to thousands of synapses simultaneously, communicating via calcium signaling and gliotransmitters. This could provide the higher-order coupling needed for our dense associative memory that pairwise synaptic connections cannot explain. Disrupting astrocyte-neuron connections in the hippocampus impairs both memory storage and retrieval, supporting this theoretical model. A Nature Neuroscience study found abdominal muscle contractions compress blood vessels connected to the brain and spine via the vertebral venous plexus, physically rocking the brain within the skull. This mechanical swishing may explain how exercise helps clear brain toxins and prevent neurodegenerative disorders, potentially leading to inflatable abdominal devices that could aid brain cleansing during sleep. Montelukast, the common asthma and allergy drug, has been found to block a protein hijacked by triple-negative breast cancer that converts immune cells into "sleeper agents" that clear paths for tumor invasion rather than attacking cancer. Dr. Dawn notes AI is increasingly identifying these drug repurposing opportunities by analyzing molecular shapes and receptor compatibility.

Most real estate agents know nothing about the homes they sell. Jennifer DeVito built a woman-owned construction and real estate company to fix exactly that.In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer DeVito, founder of Evolution, a design-build general contracting and real estate company on Long Island. Jennifer grew up running equipment on her parents' excavation sites, became the only woman managing 400 home builds for a national developer, and turned that into a business that combines buying, renovating, and selling under one roof.We get into why she charges sellers a flat fee instead of a percentage, how she gives buyers the true cost of a home before they make an offer, and why she trains alongside her 23 employees every single day.Jennifer is proof that you do not have to build your business the way men built theirs. If you are growing something in an industry that was not designed for you, this one is worth your time.Chapters:

Every one — except the aisle where the fastest-growing demographic in America shops for nutrition.Jon Bier sits down with Jess Haghani — founder and CEO of Lucille Health — for a conversation about what happens when you spot a gap so obvious it feels impossible that no one has filled it yet. Jess watched her grandmother, Lucille, come home from heart surgery and get handed the same ultra-processed nutrition shakes that haven't meaningfully changed since the 1970s. Products people hide in their basements. Products they're embarrassed to let their grandkids see. A $6 billion category with zero dignity, zero innovation, and no real competition.So she left KKR, went to Harvard Business School, and built the brand she knew had to exist.This episode is a little different. Jess hasn't built a nine-figure business yet. But Jon believes she will and this conversation is why.In this episode:• Why less than 1% of food and beverage innovation is happening for older adults, despite them being the fastest-growing consumer demographic in the world — and why that gap is finally closing• The real story behind Lucille: how watching her 92-year-old grandmother hide a nutrition shake in her basement became the founding moment of a brand built around dignity• What it looks like to take on Abbott and Nestlé with no money, no formulation experience, and no playbook and why that might actually be the advantageFind Jess & Lucille:• Jess on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jesshaghani/• Lucille Health: https://www.lucillehealth.com• Lucille on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucillehealth/Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:21 - Jon's personal experience with his dad's hospital nutrition2:04 - Why do hospitals still serve such poor nutrition products?7:43 - The corruption of big incumbents like Abbott and Nestle9:59 - How big is the older adult nutrition market?11:01 - Why has this category never been disrupted?11:38 - The shame and stigma around products like Ensure and Boost15:25 - Jess's background: London, real estate, KKR, HBS17:02 - The story of Lucille, Jess's 92-year-old grandmother19:51 - Assembling the team and figuring it out step by step25:00 - Should founders pay themselves a salary?31:04 - The broader vision: beyond beverages, full category disruption37:23 - The 70+ demographic has the highest retention rate43:18 - Jon's confidence in Lucille Health's future

Rafe Furst is a World Series poker champion, five-time founder, and author of the number one bestselling book on venture capital. He joins host KJ to challenge the VC status quo. Rafe breaks down why the 10-year lockup model is broken, how misaligned incentives are quietly killing early-stage innovation, and why the future of venture capital runs on blockchain. He also shares the story behind The Crypto Company and their newly acquired Frame blockchain, which aims to unify liquidity across fragmented crypto ecosystems. Four Key Takeaways: 3:32 — VCs have quietly abandoned true venture capital by flooding money into later stages. Early-stage investments are treated as lottery tickets rather than genuine bets on founders and their vision. 20:22 — The number one structural flaw in venture capital is not bad founders or bad ideas. It is the total absence of liquidity for a decade or more, which creates misaligned incentives for everyone involved. 21:57 — Liquidity is the magic unlock for early-stage investing. Blockchain technology is the most powerful mechanism to finally deliver that liquidity to founders, investors, and employees alike. 37:47 — AI and blockchain are converging at an exponential pace. Founders who start building on-chain infrastructure now will be positioned to ride the wave rather than get swept away by it.

Disrupt Yourself Before Someone Else Does: How Thomson Reuters CTO Anuradha Turned Fear, Bias, and Discomfort Into Career Fuel She grew up in a small town in India, first daughter in a middle-class family, educated in her mother tongue through 10th grade. She was culturally trained to listen more and speak less. Then she accepted a role as an assistant professor straight out of university, in front of 60 students, because she needed a job and couldn't say no to an opportunity. She showed up for her first class and trembled for the entire 60 minutes. She didn't quit. She went back. She sat in her colleagues' classes to watch how they taught. She asked hard questions. She sought feedback from the students whose faces told her everything. Eventually, students started telling her: "No one ever taught this subject the way you do." Anuradha is Head of Engineering and CTO of the Corporate Tax and Trade Technology Group at Thomson Reuters. She has since moved internationally alone, changed industries multiple times, and built a leadership philosophy around one core principle: disrupt yourself before someone else does it for you. In this episode, she breaks down how. You'll learn: She asked for a Senior Director role and was told not only no, but "even if you applied, they wouldn't hire you." What she said next, why she didn't confront him, and how she used that conversation to get clarity about whether the problem was her or the environment around her. The mental model she uses every time she gets a no: is this about me not having the skills, or is this about the climate in this organization not being ready for someone like me? Both are valid answers, but you have to know which one before you decide what to do next. Why she deliberately paced herself after that conversation, asked for names of other people to speak to, and processed it over days rather than trying to resolve it all in one go. Why running away from fear doesn't make fear disappear. It just means you'll face it later, under higher stakes, with fewer second chances. How she built confidence and humility simultaneously by changing industries repeatedly: retail, financial services, banking, payments, tax and trade. The more she learned, the more she understood how much more there was to learn, and why she sees that as a leadership asset, not a liability. What she means by "disrupt yourself before someone else does" and why it applies equally to personal growth, career management, and technology leadership at scale. Her model for leading through failure: look forward first, understand what went wrong second. And why leaders who impose their own stress on a team under pressure take everyone down with them. About Anuradha: Head of Engineering and CTO of the Corporate Tax and Trade Technology Group at Thomson Reuters, Anu is a recognized tech executive and speaker at women's leadership and technology conferences. She has built her career across multiple industries and continents.

Cassiano Surek, CTO at Beyond, joins host KJ to explore how artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping the workforce, enterprise structure, and even how we shop. Cassiano argues that the era of hyper-specialized talent is giving way to competent generalists who can orchestrate AI tools across the full stack, and that the companies embracing this shift are already pulling ahead. The conversation spans team architecture, the flattening of corporate hierarchies, the dawn of agentic commerce, and a surprising personal project built to lighten the mental load of moms everywhere. Four Key Takeaways: 3:39 — Curiosity is the core driver of innovation. It won't always pay off, but the compounding of near-wins over time is what ultimately leads to breakthroughs. 12:36 — Corporate hierarchies are contracting dramatically. AI enables fewer, more versatile people to do more, making deep layers of management increasingly obsolete. 17:26 — The workforce is shifting from deep specialists to competent generalists, people who can work across the full solution stack using AI tooling, unlocking a new era of entrepreneurial creativity. 17:26 — Agentic commerce is already here. AI agents will soon shop on your behalf, fundamentally disrupting how merchants, brands, and consumers interact, possibly by this Christmas.

"When you put the time and effort into your sleep, it really does pay a massive ROI in your life." In this episode, Heather and Ciara Foy unpack the physical, hormonal, and emotional shifts that leave so many middle-aged women anxious, burned out, unable to sleep, and disconnected from themselves and their lives. This conversation goes far beyond sleep hygiene and hormones, exploring the deeper patterns of self-sacrifice, stress, over-functioning, and depletion that determine women's health. We talk about why sleep becomes more difficult during this stage of life, how cortisol, insulin resistance, and nervous system dysregulation work together, and the small but powerful changes that can radically improve your energy and mood. Most importantly, this episode is an invitation to stop abandoning yourself in the process of caring for everyone else and start recognizing that feeling good, rested, and supported is essential. What to listen for: ☑️ Why middle-aged women become insulin resistant, and how that affects sleep ☑️ The many changes in hormones that lead to higher anxiety and difficulty sleeping ☑️ How do you contribute to your stress by self-sacrificing and not letting things go? "If you don't get radically honest with yourself, I don't know if your body will stick around. You have to fight to feel worthy of feeling good right now." ☑️ The way you treat yourself and your health is what you model to your children ☑️ Focusing on sleep during highly stressful times will help you avoid burnout ☑️ Sleep hygiene tips that most women don't know how to implement "Good sleep starts in the morning. If you get up and immediately pick up your phone, you're disrupting your sleep. You need to make a commitment, even if it's 20 minutes, that you don't immediately get on your phone." ☑️ Why morning sunlight is crucial to your hormones and circadian rhythm ☑️ Managing your insulin and hormones by not intermittent fasting or eating after 7 pm ☑️ If you get your second wind at night, you're going to have higher cortisol levels "The most important thing is just to start doing something. Pick something that you can focus on and execute from and make sure that you're just following through with that one promise that you're keeping for yourself." ☑️ What needs to happen to motivate yourself to implement these changes ☑️ The invisible value of hiring someone to help you mentally carry the load ☑️ Slight pivots add up and start moving you in a completely different direction **** About Ciara Foy: Ciara Foy is a hormone and metabolic health expert with 20 years of clinical experience helping women over 40 resolve the root causes of stubborn weight, fatigue, brain fog, and burnout. Through functional testing, DUTCH hormone panels, bloodwork, and gut assessment, she builds personalized protocols that restore energy, rebuild body composition, and bring women back to feeling sharp, strong, and like themselves again.

Tell us about your background, and what you focus on today. Topic 2 - For anyone that's not familiar with Cerebras, give us an overview of the company, and especially an overview on the Cerebras technologies (e.g. Wafer-Scale Engine).Topic 3 - Cerebras' WSE architecture is different from many of the GPU or GPU-like architectures in the market today. Centralized vs. distributed architectures always have their tradeoffs. Walk us through the technical and economic value of the Cerebras architecture.Topic 4 - Congratulations on the recent IPO (raised $5.55B). Let's use that as a point in time vs the previous planned IPO. How has the market changed in that timeframe, and how has the Cerebras position changed? Topic 5 - Cerebras (today) offer both WSE hardware, and Cerebras Cloud (API) - very different GTM paths. Can we expect both of those to stay top priorities, or have the market dynamics shifted such that the priorities shift more towards the WSE business - as we're seeing OpenAI, AWS and other engagements announced?Topic 6 - Is Cerebras a training and inference company, or are the economics of inference significantly different enough that it needs to be the sole focus of the company (for now)? Topic 7 - How much effort is it for any company to add support for the Cerebras chips if they have previously been using other architectures?Topic 8 - An IPO is a major milestone for any company, but the markets will now look for your future story.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Vaclav Vincalek, serial entrepreneur and founder of HISWAI (Human Intelligence Supported with Artificial Intelligence). Vaclav makes a compelling case that we've been living in an era of digital manipulation — where search engines like Google are actually marketing engines, and AI tools like ChatGPT are language models masquerading as knowledge systems. He breaks down the foundational flaws in how we find and trust information online, and introduces HisWay as a transparent, human-first alternative that puts the power of judgment back in the hands of the user. Four Key Takeaways: Google is a marketing engine, not a search engine (7:50) — Google's objective is profitability through advertising, not delivering the best search experience. The system is designed to keep you searching — and clicking ads — not to get you to the truth efficiently. LLMs are language models, not knowledge models (14:35) — ChatGPT and similar tools absorb vast amounts of unvalidated data. There's no mechanism to assess accuracy, no way to make the system forget wrong information, and no guarantee that the same question will yield the same answer twice. AI language is hacking your brain (17:25) — Because these systems use natural, human-sounding language, we instinctively treat them as intelligent, trustworthy peers. That's a design flaw being exploited — it creates false confidence and dangerous echo chambers. The future of search is transparency, not answers (27:09) — Rather than being told what is true, users should be shown where information comes from so they can trace it, judge it, and own their conclusions. HISWAI is building toward a "personal web" — a private, ownable information layer that you control. Quote of the Show (14:35):“You have a system which is built on false technology or false premise, and it's disguised as, 'Whoa, look at this! It talks almost like us, so it has to be like us.' And it's not true." — Vaclav Vincalek Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Send us Fan MailThe products in your bathroom, your kitchen, and your environment may be quietly interfering with your hormones in ways that show up as irregular cycles, shortened luteal phases, unexplained infertility, or symptoms no one can quite explain. This is not a fringe concern. It is one of the most well-documented and least discussed contributors to hormone disruption in women and men today.In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur breaks down exactly what endocrine-disrupting chemicals are, how they work in the body, and — most importantly — what you can actually do about them without overhauling your entire life. Through Dana's story, a health-conscious woman who ate well, exercised regularly, and still could not conceive after two years, you will see how cumulative environmental exposures can tip the hormonal balance in ways that standard lab work alone will never reveal.You will learn:The five major categories of endocrine-disrupting chemicals — BPA, phthalates, parabens, PFAS, and pesticides — and where they hide in everyday productsHow these chemicals mimic estrogen, block progesterone receptors, and disrupt thyroid conversion in ways that directly affect cycles and fertilityThe practical "in, on, and around" framework for reducing your highest-impact exposures without feeling overwhelmedIf your hormone symptoms have never had a clear explanation, your environment may be part of the answer.

About this episode: What if Manifestors were never only meant to create? What if part of our role was also to disrupt? In this episode, Holly explores a side of Manifestor energy that rarely gets spoken about — the initiator as the force that ends things, not just begins them. Through the lens of burnout, capitalism, productivity culture, nervous system survival patterns and the 2027 paradigm shift, this conversation asks a confronting question: What systems are you still trying to survive inside… that your body already knows are dying? Holly speaks openly about her own health journey, stepping back from business, the growing resentment she's experienced toward systems that demand endless output, and the realisation that many Manifestors are not actually struggling because they “can't keep up” — but because they were never designed for industrialised productivity in the first place. This episode moves through: Manifestor anger and “seething” resentment Why so many Manifestors burn things to the ground Capitalism, productivity and survival conditioning The pressure to constantly create and produce Why disruption is punished socially The forgotten role of the Manifestor as an initiator of endings The 2027 paradigm shift and collapsing systems What it means to reclaim self-trust as a disruptor This is not a neat or polished conversation. It's a raw one. A live reflection from inside the process itself. And maybe the most important question it leaves us with is this: What are you being called to disrupt? -- Start Here: If you're unsure where you are in your Manifestor journey, begin with our quiz: Where Are You in Your Manifestor Journey?

In this episode of Connecting the Dots, Matt sits down with Jill Vitale-Aussem, President and CEO of Christian Living Communities, to explore a powerful shift in senior living: moving from a hospitality-driven model to a citizenship model rooted in purpose, belonging, reciprocity, and shared ownership.Jill reflects on her early experiences in nursing homes, the moment she began questioning the “we'll do everything for you” promise often found in senior living, and why true community is built when residents are seen not just as customers, but as citizens with gifts, agency, and something meaningful to contribute.Together, Matt and Jill discuss how this model changes daily life inside communities, how residents and team members care for one another, and why leaders should begin with better questions instead of ready-made answers.Guest Bio:Jill Vitale-Aussem is the President and CEO of Christian Living Communities, where she leads the organization's vision, culture, and growth across a continuum of services for older adults. With more than 30 years of experience in senior living, Jill has served in leadership roles across nursing homes, assisted living communities, and life plan communities. She previously served as President and CEO of the Eden Alternative, advancing a global movement focused on improving quality of life for older adults and their care partners.Jill is a licensed nursing home administrator, reframing aging facilitator, Eden Alternative educator, and graduate of the LeadingAge Leadership Academy. She is also the author of Disrupting the Status Quo of Senior Living: A Mindshift and speaks internationally on leadership, culture change, and ageism.Chapters:02:00 — Introduction to Jill Vitale-Aussem03:14 — Jill's path into senior living06:07 — Questioning the hospitality model07:14 — Purpose, independence, and ageism09:06 — What citizenship means in senior living10:18 — Citizenship in everyday community life13:07 — Doing things with residents, not for residents15:15 — Purpose in action17:02 — Helping people recognize their gifts19:02 — Resident ownership of team member experience22:01 — How citizenship reshapes leadership23:34 — Reciprocity between residents and team members25:34 — Where leaders should begin27:45 — Closing reflections

The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on more than a dozen individuals and entities linked to the Sinaloa Cartel's fentanyl trafficking and money laundering operations, including a popular restaurant in Chihuahua, Mexico. This action highlights the cartel's use of seemingly legitimate businesses to facilitate illicit activities while underscoring ongoing efforts to combat the flow of deadly synthetic opioids into the United States. The sanctions reflect a broader strategy under the current administration to designate and dismantle narco-terrorist organizations responsible for thousands of American overdose deaths

As we continue our hallmark tenth season of the Eccles Business Buzz podcast, host Frances Johnson sits down with Cameron Smith, Founder & CEO of Kindling Snacks, and Co-Founder of Kodiak Cakes. Cameron is also a graduate of the David Eccles School of Business with a BS in Business Administration.Cameron talks to Frances about his time at Kodiak Cakes, where he served as president (2019–2023) and helped expand the product line into multiple protein-forward and frozen categories. Cameron shares how it was college's structure that later helped him research, learn, and become well-rounded across business functions, and how he joined early-stage Kodiak without a clear long-term plan, but drawn by the people and the chance to work broadly. Cameron explains the balance between intuition and data, highlighting the successful launch of the protein “Power Cakes” at Target, and discusses building brand affinity beyond functional benefits. He also describes founding Kindling Snacks in May 2024, a better-for-you pretzel brand, and how they meet challenges like tariffs, finding space in stores and on shelves, and the importance of hunger, execution, and real effort.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web.

And I think so many times people wait for... They wait for things to happen for them, and they wait for opportunities. And the reality is opportunities do happen for some people, but you have to make it happen.How curiosity fuels disruption[29:40] If you want to be disruptive, you've got to think like someone who is disruptive. The other night, we were driving home, this was so funny, we were driving home as a family, and it was raining, and my 9-year-old daughter, she just starts saying, "You know, Dad," because the windshield wipers were going, "Dad, I know this would cost a lot of money, but they should put, like, a roof over the road so that you don't have to, you know, essentially, like, use your windshield wipers." And is it practical? No. Could you do that across all of America? You couldn't do that, but what's happening is she's seeing the world in possibilities. I read something that our curiosity peaks at age, like, six, like three to five, three to six, which is so unfortunate that as we get older, we stop being curious. We stop having these ideas of, "What if you could put a ceiling above the road?" And, like, she's just thinking these ideas. And then so, like, we need to encourage that, encourage that in people on our teams, encourage that with people that we're around and our families, that curiosity, that observation. And I mean, imagine if you go with your family and you're just, you sit in a Starbucks, and you say, "Okay, what's inefficient about what they're doing? What could they do better? What would you do differently?" And you start to create these mindsets of, "How could we think differently? How could we disrupt?" And it just, like, that's how other things start to happen. Deliberate strategy vs Emergent strategy[21:04] Our deliberate strategy was whole grain pancake mixes, add water only. The emergent strategy was protein pancake mixes, and it started to grow. And so the data told us, "Hey, there was a market for this." So we started to launch new flavors, and it continued to grow to the point that today, as you look at Kodiak as a brand, most places that Kodiak goes into, there's protein in because that's what the brand has become known for. But that was an emergent strategy. That was not our deliberate strategy. And so I think part of that learning is you need to have a deliberate strategy, and you need to pay attention to the emergent strategies. And sometimes your emergent strategy can become your deliberate strategy, but you also don't want to just chase after emergent strategies because that's what some businesses do, and they never see. A strategy that's working because they're looking for the next thing that's going to emerge for a lot of different reasons.Show Links:Kindling Snacks | About UsCameron Smith | LinkedIn ProfileDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

Bryan Walley, co-founder and CEO of Forward Inheritance, joins host KJ to challenge the broken status quo of wealth transfer in America. Bryan shares how a personal reckoning with his own father's estate planning — or lack thereof — sparked a fintech solution designed to help families organize, communicate, and access their inheritance before tragedy strikes. From probate nightmares to illiquid home equity, Bryan lays out why the $84 trillion great wealth transfer is heading for disaster without better planning — and what Forward Inheritance is doing to fix it. Four Key Takeaways: [7:02 ] Most families are dangerously unprepared: Only about 40% of homeowners have a trust and will. That means 60% of homes could end up in probate, costing families years and thousands of dollars. [9:35] The inheritance conversation isn't about money : Avoiding mortality talk is understandable, but delaying the planning conversation only makes things harder. Start with paperwork, not dollars. [17:39] Inheritance is arriving too late: As parents live longer and stay in their homes, heirs are receiving inheritance in their 60s instead of their 30s — exactly when they need it least. Forward Inheritance unlocks illiquid home equity tax-free for the next generation with no monthly payments and no money leaving the parents' account. [16:20] The family can be the bank: Through intrafamily loans documented on the platform, families can keep wealth circulating internally at low interest rates, rather than sending it to a bank. Quote of the Show (11:49):"Let's stop the intergenerational trauma of bad financial advice going down. We can stop this. We can do better. We can help our families move forward." – Bryan Walley Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

What happens when you apply the raw, unfiltered mindset of a seasoned serial entrepreneur to the rigid world of state governance? In this episode, we sit down with designer, developer, and California gubernatorial candidate Elaine Culotti to pull back the curtain on the harsh realities of high-level business and public policy. We dive deep into the the distinct blend of financial acumen required to manage massive budgets, and how founders can use an "outsider" strategy to disrupt locked-down markets. Elaine also breaks down the structural financial crisis facing California cities, how running a multi-million dollar corporation compares to running a government, and the exact playbook she is using to challenge the status quo.

Rui Morais, CEO of Dis-Chem Pharmacies and prior to that, the youngest CFO of a listed company in South Africa, sits down with Debbie Goodman to discuss the real story behind Dis-Chem's much-misreported restructure, and why it's actually a signal of bold ambition, not downsizing.

Molly Sims spent nearly six years modeling in Europe, graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, and starred in Las Vegas and The Carrie Diaries—then quietly spent three years and over $2 million of her own money developing a skincare brand nobody asked for. When she launched YSE Beauty on April 24, 2023, she had no idea if it would work. It did. The brand hit close to $30 million in revenue, is growing nearly 100% year-on-year, landed an exclusive partnership with Sephora, and closed a $15 million Series A with Silas Capital—all in under three years. In this interview, Molly breaks down why she launched DTC before she was ready, how she turned her podcast into a brand-building machine two years before she had a product to sell, and the hard-won lessons on ops, retail margins, and building a team that can survive when things go wrong. What you'll learn in this interview: • Why Molly self-funded over $2 million of her own money into product development—and the Christmas moment she nearly didn't • How three years of testing 100+ formulas to solve her own melasma led to genuine product-market fit in a crowded category • Why she launched DTC-first and treated social media as her brick-and-mortar before ever approaching a retailer • How starting her podcast Lipstick on the Rim two years before launch built the community and credibility that made YSE possible • The ops reality nobody tells you: being sold out on five products isn't a good problem—it's a sign of broken demand planning • Why she sold the Home Edit show to Netflix in 2015—and how producing taught her to spot talent and build content that converts • The exact mindset she brings to Sephora: be raggedy, negotiate your margins, and never just take what the retailer gives you • How she chose Silas Capital over larger funds—and why alignment on the customer is more important than the size of the check • Why the third year of a brand is "disciplined growth"—and how she's shifting from whack-a-mole survival mode to a three-year roadmap • The hiring mistake most fast-growth founders make: assuming who got you here will get you there If you're building a DTC beauty or lifestyle brand, trying to navigate the leap from direct-to-consumer into retail, or looking for the no-BS truth about what founder-led growth actually looks like in year one, two, and three, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about product, community, and when to jump off the cliff.

What if the walls of your home… were slowly poisoning you? In this mind-blowing episode, Darin sits down with the founders of Alkemis to expose a hidden layer of modern toxicity most people never question: paint. While we obsess over clean food, skincare, and water, we're unknowingly living inside walls coated in petrochemical-derived materials that off-gas harmful compounds for years. From the shocking reality that architectural paint is the largest contributor of microplastics in our oceans to the hidden endocrine disruptors lurking even in "zero VOC" paints, this conversation pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked threats to human and environmental health—and introduces a radically different, nature-based solution. What You'll Learn Why most conventional paints are essentially liquid plastic on your walls The shocking truth: paint is the #1 source of microplastics in oceans How "zero VOC" paint can still contain toxic carcinogens and endocrine disruptors The concept of your home as your "second skin" How petrochemical paints impact fertility, hormones, and long-term health Why toxic exposure is a "death by a thousand cuts" rather than one cause The environmental lifecycle of paint—from extraction to disposal How mineral-based paints can sequester carbon and improve air quality The power of biophilic design and natural materials in your home Practical ways to reduce toxicity—even if you don't own your home Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and episode introduction 00:00:32 – Sponsor: Alkemis and indoor air toxicity 00:00:56 – The shocking truth about off-gassing paint 00:01:24 – Why conventional paint releases toxins for years 00:01:55 – PFAS, VOCs, and hidden chemical exposure in your home 00:02:26 – Cradle-to-Cradle certification and full lifecycle safety 00:03:24 – Introducing Maya Crown and Price Latimer 00:03:52 – The realization: we're living inside "liquid plastic" 00:04:02 – Paint as the largest source of microplastics 00:04:17 – The environmental impact no one talks about 00:05:16 – Origin stories: health, art, and conscious living 00:07:23 – The moment everything changed: questioning paint 00:08:17 – 95% of paint is petrochemical-based plastic 00:09:20 – Environmental toxins and rising health issues 00:10:14 – Ancient paints vs modern synthetic materials 00:11:25 – Reconnecting with nature and forgotten knowledge 00:14:09 – Your home as your "second skin" 00:16:01 – Environmental impact: microplastics from paint 00:16:40 – 1.9 million tons of paint entering oceans annually 00:17:23 – Why paint pollution never breaks down 00:20:35 – Hidden chemicals behind "zero VOC" labels 00:21:05 – Safety Data Sheets and what companies don't show you 00:23:42 – Health effects: hormones, fertility, endocrine disruption 00:26:49 – The reality: no single cause, cumulative exposure 00:28:16 – Why industries resist change 00:33:24 – The responsibility to educate and innovate 00:38:33 – Building a non-toxic alternative from scratch 00:41:38 – Mineral-based paints and breathable materials 00:43:41 – Carbon sequestration and air quality benefits 00:44:44 – Fire resistance and performance advantages 00:47:41 – What you can do right now to reduce exposure 00:48:27 – Why repainting your walls is a powerful first step 00:49:31 – Simple upgrades: air purifiers, natural materials 00:52:07 – Crystals, minerals, and the frequency of materials 00:54:14 – Why natural pigments feel different 00:56:27 – The microplastics realization hits hard 00:57:50 – Cost vs value: investing in long-term health 00:59:18 – Why this solution is more accessible than you think 01:00:21 – Industry awareness and the shift toward change 01:02:14 – Closing: creating a better future through conscious choices     Thank You to Our Sponsors Alkemis: Go to https://alkemispaint.com/ and use code DARIN10 for 10% off your order.

But the moment you become aware, everything changes. Because your home isn't just where you live—it's what you breathe, what you absorb, and what shapes your health every single day. And when you choose materials that work with nature instead of against it, you don't just create a better home… you create a better future."

The Classic Learning Test is disrupting the standardized testing status quo. Michael Torres, CLT's Director of Legislative Strategy, explains how this fast-growing exam is quietly challenging the SAT/ACT duopoly, offering a rigorous alternative with longer reading passages, no-calculator math, and a focus on true college readiness.

Admit it, you've complained about at least one other generation. Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z—somehow, they all end up with reputations built around what's wrong with them. Dr. Eliza Filby has a different suggestion: stop asking what's wrong with them. And start questioning what world they were handed. Eliza is a contemporary historian, generations expert, and the author of Sunday Times bestseller: Inheritocracy. And with more generations in the workplace than at any point in history, she is precisely the person we need to show us a new way to win… together.  In this conversation, Eliza makes connections about how generational change is reshaping work, wealth, and modern life that I'd never thought to connect. She might just change how you see the world (and people) around you. In this episode you'll learn: ➡️ Why calling Gen Z "entitled" is the wrong diagnosis (and what's really driving the behavior leaders complain about most)  ➡️ How retirement planning and eldercare became the new midlife crisis ➡️ How the economy changed after 2008 + quietly rewrote the rulebook for every generation that followed  ➡️ Why belonging is becoming increasingly rare (even though we need it) ➡️ Why Millennials + Gen Z are more likely become homeowners by being loyal to their parents than by being loyal to their jobs ➡️ 3 things no AI will replace in the workplace… ➡️ What's driving hyper-individualism + how do we fix it We all may have strong opinions about one another, but it's time to focus on building greater understanding.
