“Show me an incentive structure and I'll show you human behavior... until employers realize they have more power than they give themselves credit for, this can't continue."My guest this week is Norm Volsky, Managing Partner at DRI and Founder of MVP Growth Partners. Norm has spent the last decade as one of the top executive recruiters in the digital health and employer benefits space - placing the commercial teams that helped build unicorns like Livongo and Hinge Health.In this episode, Norm explains why the next wave of healthcare innovation isn't about adding more "point solutions" to an already fatigued market. Instead, smart money is betting on companies that carve out high-margin, inefficient services directly from the major insurance carriers - like radiology, fertility, and specialty infusion.We discuss how Norm built an "army" of over 500 industry executives to crowdsource due diligence, why the traditional VC model fails in healthcare, and why employers and their benefits leaders are finally at a watershed moment where they must demand true fiduciary alignment from their vendors.If you want to know where the smart money is moving in employer healthcare, and why the "BUCA" carriers should be worried, this episode is a must-listen.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

Drew Sechrist, CEO and co-founder of Connect the Dots, takes us on a journey from being Salesforce's 36th employee to building his own venture addressing one of B2B sales' most persistent challenges: unlocking the hidden power of professional networks. In this conversation, Drew shares inside stories from Salesforce's scrappy early days in 1999, when "SaaS" didn't even exist as a term and the company spent VC money "like drunken sailors" to hire account executives who gave away a beta product for free.The core of the episode focuses on Connect the Dots' mission: making warm introductions scalable and measurable. Drew explains why the traditional sales pillars of inbound and outbound are suffering in the AI era, and why "Go-to-Network" (GTN) represents the critical third pillar that AI can't destroy because it's built on real human relationships. This is essential listening for any SaaS founder struggling with cold outreach fatigue and looking to unlock their most underutilized growth asset: their extended network.Key Takeaways[00:00] Introduction to Drew Sechrist and the power of network-based growth vs. cold outreach[04:00] Drew's early career: implementing client-server CRM tools in the pre-SaaS era (Goldmine, Sales Logics, CD-ROMs)[08:00] The birth of ASP (Application Service Provider) - reading about Salesforce in the Wall Street Journal, 1999[10:00] The cold email that changed everything: reaching out to Mark Benioff and getting hired as employee #36[13:00] Category creation at Salesforce: from ASP to "on-demand" to SaaS to "cloud" - Mark Benioff defining a new market[15:00] The dotcom boom launch: B-52s playing at the launch party, spending VC money freely, hiring AEs to give away free beta product[18:00] The pivot to paid: introducing the $50/user/month model with no contracts - proving people would pay for "a website"[22:00] Scaling through the dotcom bust: losing dotcom customers but winning larger enterprises with smaller budgets[25:00] The golden handcuffs: why it was "never a good time to leave" Salesforce even after 10 years[28:00] The Mexico motorcycle sabbatical: conceiving Kuzo while riding through Baja in 2007-2008[30:00] Kuzo's vision: live Google Street View powered by crowdsourced cameras - a startup that ultimately shut down[32:00] The connection theme: from Kuzo to Connect the Dots - helping people see and leverage their networks[34:00] The core problem: thousands of missed opportunities because you can't see who you really know well enough to leverage[36:00] LinkedIn's limitation: binary connections that don't signal relationship strength (best friend vs. 30-second conference interaction)[39:00] The billion-dollar question: will people actually make introductions? The nuance of asking mom vs. board members vs. customers[42:00] Network inheritance: Drew's biggest career hack was joining Salesforce and inheriting Mark Benioff's network overnight[45:00] Investor selection strategy: you're not just getting money, you're buying a network - be intentional about your cap table[47:00] AI's role in relationship-based sales: surfacing the right relationships at the right time, not replacing human connection[50:00] The third pillar: "Go-to-Network" (GTN) emerges as inbound and outbound suffer from AI saturation[52:00] Real relationships can't be destroyed by AI: when you call your mom, she picks up - that's the power of authentic networks[54:00] Action step for founders: sign up for Connect the Dots (ctd.ai) - free for individuals, paid for companiesTweetable Quotes

Here's my 2017 conversation with CHIP BERLET, investigative journalist, research analyst, activist - and friend - who died January 30, 2026. Over the last 50 years, Chip was one of a handful of folks who consistently tracked and organized against right-wing extremism. As MAGA grew and metastasized from its roots in the Silent Majority and the Tea Party, Chip was on the beat. Can't say he didn't warn us. Berlet was part of a team at the National Lawyers Guild who revealed the COINTELPRO program, in which US security and military forces disrupted left-wing movements for years, and co-authored (with Matthew N. Lyons) Right-Wing Populism in America: Too Close for Comfort a year before 9/11. We recorded this conversation two months into Trump One and five months before Tiki Torches in Charlottesville.

What would you tell yourself on day one as a manager? In this episode, Kamaria sits down with Kaitlyn Rios — a Doctor of Physical Therapy, certified wound specialist, and VP of Clinical Business Development — who has climbed from her first supervisory role all the way to leading national teams across startups, corporations, and privately held organizations. Kaitlyn gets candid about what no one told her stepping into leadership, starting with a revelation that still makes her laugh: she didn't realize her new role actually meant leading people. From there, the conversation gets real about the four jobs every manager is actually doing at once, the burnout that comes when people leadership becomes an afterthought, and why protecting your calendar isn't just a time management tip — it's a survival strategy. Kamaria and Kaitlyn also dig into the support systems that hold good managers together, why trust is the foundation of any meaningful leadership relationship, and what it looks and feels like to create a team culture where people truly feel safe to take risks and grow. Whether you're brand new to management or a seasoned leader, this one is a candid trip down memory lane with hard-won lessons you can use today.   Show Notes: Connect with Kaitlyn Rios on LinkedIn |  Connect with Kamaria Scott on LinkedIn | managermomentum.com

In this episode of the Food Freedom podcast, Coach Mary gets honest about the evolution of recovery and why sometimes, she actually misses the simplicity of the early days. Back then, keto felt like the answer to everything. Life was clear, structured and felt simple, but with growth comes nuance and with nuance comes confusion, overthinking, and fear of doing it “wrong.”Mary talks about the tension between simplicity and complexity in recovery, how too much information can cause analysis paralysis, and why brutal self-honesty is the only way to keep moving forward. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by all the opinions and noise in the health and recovery world, this episode will help you reconnect with your truth and your intuition again.Grab your copy of my FREE 9 page Beginner's Guide to Food Sobriety https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietyguideFood Freedom Online Course: https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodfreedomcourseFood Sobriety Mini Course -https://www.foodfreedomwithmary.com/foodsobrietymcWant to learn more about me and my coaching programs?

In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Tracey, founder of The Uncaged Life, to discuss the common pitfall of purchasing online courses that fail to meet expectations. We uncover the shared frustration among entrepreneurs regarding wasted investments and emphasize the importance of making informed decisions in course selection.Key Takeaways:Course Evaluation: Review past courses to understand why they fell short, focusing on issues like unclear messaging and misalignment with your business stage.Importance of Clarity: Establishing a clear niche and message can significantly enhance the application of strategies learned from courses.Setting Realistic Expectations: Entering courses should be coupled with an understanding that foundational work precedes results; courses won't be a magic fix.Building a Strong Foundation: Prioritize creating a solid business model before moving on to advanced strategies or tactical courses.Peer Insights: Leverage feedback from your network to clarify your business message, which can inform more strategic course investments.Throughout the episode, Rebecca and I stress the significance of distinguishing between appealing marketing and practical solutions. Listeners are encouraged to identify their genuine needs rather than getting sidetracked by flashy promises. With additional resources for beginners and a strong emphasis on community feedback, this episode is a valuable guide for entrepreneurs looking to enhance their decision-making in professional development.Tune in for actionable insights that will help you navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship with clarity and confidence!Chapters:0:00 Introduction to Course Challenges0:58 The Reality of Business Ownership2:33 Meet Rebecca Tracy3:42 Foundations of a Successful Business5:32 The Early Days of Online Business10:34 Missteps in Course Purchases12:20 Clarity and Specificity in Courses13:22 High Expectations and Course Results19:40 Navigating Course Expectations21:06 The Cost of Ineffective Courses23:28 Learning from Past Investments31:33 Pre-Purchase Considerations for Courses38:31 Final Thoughts on Course Selection41:55 Where to Find More from Becca42:36 About Startup SocietyRebecca Tracey's Links:Instagram: @theuncagedlifeFree Facebook community, Uncaged Lifers: https://theuncagedlife.com/communityMore from Becca on this topic: https://theuncagedlife.com/burnedGet Becca's free guide to choosing a niche: https://theuncagedlife.com/nichingJoin Startup Society at: https://startupsociety.comFREE Resources to Grow Your Online Business:The $100K Method Podcast Series: https://www.gillianperkins.com/the-100k-methodGrab our free course, Small Business 101: https://www.gillianperkins.com/small-business-101-free-opt-inWrite a Profit Plan for Your Business : http://gillianperkins.com/free-profit-plan Want to quit your job in the next 6-18 months with passive income from selling digital products online?

Enterprise AI doesn't fail because models are weak. It fails because data pipelines break, permissions drift, costs explode, and governance is treated like an annual checkbox instead of everyday operational discipline.In this episode of Intelligent Indians!, Vikram Vaidyanathan sits down with Rohit Choudhury, Founder & CEO of Acceldata, for a deep conversation on how enterprise data systems actually behave at scale and why AI makes every weak foundation visible.Rohit's founder journey mirrors the last 15 years of data infrastructure: from scaling InMobi in the pre-cloud era, to the Hadoop days at Hortonworks, to pioneering data observability, and now pushing into Agentic Data Management as enterprises move from AI pilots to production.The conversation goes deep into:1. Why AI POCs often work in one team but collapse at enterprise scale 2. The real cost of fixing data late, and why ingestion is the only place to fix it3. How AI agents change the stakes: real-time failures, hallucinations explainability and ai updates4. A practical playbook for CIOs and CDOs: SLAs, rapid experimentation, and leadership upskilling5.

This week we're diving into Zebra 3 from U-He, exploring why it remains one of the most deep and flexible software synthesizers available today. Rather than a feature checklist, this episode is about discovery, approach and what it feels like to work inside a truly modular synth environment.We'll talk through Zebra 3's oscillators, spectral shaping, modulation system and sound design philosophy, focusing on how its design encourages intentional exploration rather than preset hopping. From subtle movement and organic textures to complex evolving sounds, Zebra 3 rewards time spent listening and experimenting.Along the way we reflect on what makes a synth feel inspiring in long term use, how depth can coexist with clarity, and why tools like Zebra 3 continue to resonate with sound designers and musicians years after their release.If you enjoy slower, more thoughtful discussions about synthesis and creative process, this one's for you.Thanks to our Patrons who support what we do:Audionauts: Abby, Bendu, David Svrjcek, Josh Wittman, Paul Ledbrook, Matt Donatelli and Stephen SetzepfandtLars Haur - Audionaut ProducerJonathan Goode - Audionaut ProducerJoin the conversation:

In our first live Monero Monthly, Max and Seth are joined by Riccardo “fluffypony” Spagni for a candid tour through Monero's origin story and culture. Riccardo dives into the chaotic Bytecoin days, how a secret fork birthed Monero after a contentious merge-mining push, and why missing comments, odd code obfuscations, and a deliberately crippled miner set off everyone's spidey senses.Riccardo shares the serendipitous formation of the Monero Research Lab—hiring Sarang and Surae via a Reddit post—and a hilarious Utah road-trip mishap that bonded early contributors. They also explore how Monero's antifragile culture emerged from a strict no-price-talk ethos, pseudonymous contribution, and a relentless focus on usable privacy that's helped real people in difficult situations.They close with reflections on delistings, decentralised access, level-headed responses to network “attacks,” and how Tari aims to provide privacy-first smart contracts without compromising Monero's design. Listener Q&A covers delistings pushing P2P adoption, cultural decisions that made Monero durable, handling selfish-mining FUD, practical privacy in tightening EU regs, and what Tari brings to the table.

Don Dupuis is a Louisiana technology pioneer whose work quietly shaped how businesses across Acadiana and far beyond learned to operate in the early days of the digital age. Don founded Acadiana Computer Systems in 1969, at a time when most offices still relied on adding machines, paper ledgers, and manual calculations. Long before “IT services” was a common phrase, Don saw that businesses, especially medical practices, needed help navigating billing, coding, payroll, and data management. What began as a small, homegrown operation became a regional force, supporting doctors, lawyers, oilfield companies, universities, public offices, and even the horse racing industry. In this conversation, Don walks us through a remarkable journey that begins in Carencro, where he grew up and still lives on the very property where he was born. He shares stories from his early career in banking, including helping launch the credit card business in central Louisiana, complete with a secret U-Haul trip to Baton Rouge to retrieve credit cards during a rainstorm, and how that experience opened his eyes to the power of automation. Without a formal computer science degree, Don built his company by pairing business insight with technical brilliance. He credits early partner Roy Arwood, a mathematician and programmer, as “a genius” who wrote the software while Don sold, ran, and personally operated the systems. Together, they computerized payrolls with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of employees, ultimately processing more than one million W-2s in a single year. Don explains how Acadiana Computer Systems served a wide range of clients: Oilfield companies with massive payrolls Medical practices struggling with complex coding and insurance reimbursement Universities and medical schools, including LSU systems Registrars of voters and tax assessors The horse racing industry, where his team produced race programs before tote boards existed In medical billing, Don describes uncovering widespread inefficiencies, and sometimes outright fraud, costing physician practices tens of thousands of dollars each month. His company didn't just process claims; it helped doctors understand diagnosis codes, CPT procedures, and compliance, often recovering revenue that would otherwise be lost. “A doctor's bill is one of the most complicated things to produce,” he explains, emphasizing how critical accuracy became once Medicare and government oversight entered the picture. The episode also captures the culture of Lafayette's boom years. Don recalls a time when oil money flooded the region, businesses were expanding rapidly, and opportunity felt “wide open.” He also speaks candidly about downturns, particularly the late-1970s and early-1980s oil collapse, when many left Lafayette in search of work elsewhere. After decades of growth, Don sold Acadiana Computer Systems in 2021, staying on briefly before stepping away for good. He reflects on the realities of modern consolidation, offshore labor, and automation, noting that while technology keeps advancing, it often comes at the expense of long-term employees. In late 2025, Don made local news again when he sold the former ACS’ headquarters (nearly 30,000-square-foot building on Dulles Drive) for $3.6-million deal to South Louisiana Community College, allowing the campus to expand classrooms, offices, and student services. Beyond business, Don shares stories of generosity and community, from housing Lafayette's mounted police horses on his rural property to building lifelong relationships based on handshakes rather than contracts. “If you're nice to somebody, it comes back,” he says, reflecting on clients who became partners simply because he helped when they needed it most. The conversation closes with Don's thoughts on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and the future of work. Having witnessed the evolution from mainframes to personal computers to AI, he sees enormous potential, particularly in medicine, alongside serious risks if technology is used carelessly. He also laments the massive shift of jobs to foreign countries where people making $2.50 per hour are gladly taking jobs once held by America's talented workforce. This episode is a rare oral history of Acadiana's early technology era, told by someone who helped build it: one payroll run, one program, and one handshake at a time. We thank our dear friend, Don Dupuis, for his generous spirit and the contributions he has made to our business climate in Acadiana. Avec beaucoup d’amour!

While cleaning and decluttering, Heather came across a stack of books that carried her through the early years of living with cancer. Some were informational. Some were inspirational. And some simply helped her feel seen.In this episode, Heather and Larry talk through those books—not as prescriptions or promises, but as companions during a time when reaching for anything steady mattered. They reflect on why certain voices, stories, and practices were helpful, how repetition and slowing down supported Heather's mindset, and how mental and emotional care became just as important as physical treatment.The conversation then expands into what building a “library” looks like today. Not just books—but audio, YouTube, meditation, journaling, saved resources, and non-cancer content that helps regulate fear, doubt, and overwhelm. Heather shares how she now thinks about choosing resources that feel safe, grounding, and accessible—and why what helps can (and should) change over time.This episode is an honest look at what it means to feed your mind with care, build a personal support library, and give yourself permission to reach for whatever helps you feel a little more steady.If you have books, videos, or resources that have helped you through a hard season, Heather invites you to share them—so we can help each other build libraries that hold us.Available Now!
