Send a textIn this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jessica Shui, attending neonatologist at Mass General for Children, to explore the game-changing potential of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) in the NICU. We dive into her recent paper in the Journal of Perinatology on using non-invasive EIT to identify optimal PEEP in infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Dr. Shui explains how this real-time, radiation-free technology allows clinicians to visualize lung mechanics, dynamically titrate ventilator settings, and confidently reduce PEEP without risking atelectasis. Join us as we discuss moving beyond blind adjustments and stepping into the future of personalized neonatal respiratory care.

In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest truths in entrepreneurship—knowing when a business isn't ready to stand on its own. Too many people pour thousands of dollars, years of time, and even money from family into ventures that simply aren't producing enough income to survive. At some point, determination can turn into financial damage. We discuss how to recognize when it's time to shift gears, get a steady job to stabilize your finances, and move the dream into a side hustle instead of letting it destroy your bank account and relationships. Stepping back from a struggling business isn't giving up—it's making a strategic decision to protect your future while continuing to build your vision the smart way.Opening QuestionsAt what point does a business stop being a “startup phase” and start becoming financial self-destruction?How do you know the difference between “pushing through hard times” and “refusing to accept reality”?Is it possible that the smartest business decision you can make is getting a full-time job?Why do so many entrepreneurs treat the idea of getting a job like it's failure?Is pride the biggest reason people keep pouring money into a dying business?Reality Check QuestionsIf your business hasn't paid you in a year, is it really a business or just an expensive hobby?How many months of losses should someone realistically tolerate before reassessing?If your spouse or family is financially supporting your “business,” are you really running a business?When you start borrowing money from family to keep a business alive, has it already crossed the line?Is there a point where continuing a failing business becomes irresponsible to your family?Ego vs RealityWhy do entrepreneurs sometimes confuse stubbornness with determination?Is quitting the wrong business actually a smart entrepreneurial move?How much of entrepreneurship is about knowing when to pivot or pause?Do social media success stories make people feel like they must grind forever even when it's not working?The Side Hustle StrategyWhy is turning a struggling business into a side hustle often the smartest move?What are the advantages of building a business while working a stable job?How does having steady income actually help a business grow smarter?Why do many successful businesses start as side hustles rather than full-time ventures?Is it better to grow slowly with stability rather than forcing growth with debt?Financial ResponsibilityWhat financial signals tell you it's time to stop treating something like a full-time business?Should every entrepreneur set a financial “kill switch” before starting a business?How much savings should someone realistically have before trying to go full-time with a startup?Is taking money from family to support a failing business ever justified?What's the long-term damage to relationships when businesses collapse after family investments?Hard Truths SegmentIs it possible that some ideas are just not viable businesses?How do you know when the market has spoken?What's the difference between “this needs more time” and “this will never work”?Why is it sometimes smarter to pause a business than destroy your finances trying to save it?Encouragement SegmentDoes moving a business to a side hustle mean the dream is over?Can getting a stable job actually accelerate your future success?Why is patience often the missing ingredient in entrepreneurship?Is the real entrepreneurial skill knowing when to adapt instead of when to grind harder?Powerful Closing Question “Is the goal to prove you're an entrepreneur, or to actually build something sustainable?” Strong Closing Statement You Could Use “A real entrepreneur isn't someone who refuses to quit.

AI is not coming for sales. It is already here. In this episode of Sales Lead Dog, Victor Antonio joins us to break down what AI agents really mean for sales teams, sales leaders and the entire buying process. Victor's background is rare. Electrical engineering. MBA. Global sales leadership. President of global sales and marketing for a $420M company. VP of international sales for a Fortune 500 organization. Today, he is one of the most recognized sales educators in the world and author of The Future of Selling: The Rise of AI Agents. This conversation goes beyond ChatGPT. We dive into AI agents, agent-to-agent communication, model context protocols, and how buying behavior is changing faster than most sales teams realize. The biggest shift is not just how we sell. It is how customers buy. And most organizations are not ready.

AI has seemingly taken over our lives in so many ways. Personally, I've seen a huge shift in the writing and journalism field for both staff and freelance writers. But one thing we often don't see is the energy being funnelled to AI data centers from our already stressed electrical grid. And it's not just a little bit of energy either– The 2024 US Data Center Energy Usage Report found that after a period of stagnation from 2014-2016, center energy demand grew, in part, due to expanded efforts to digitize data across economic sectors. And according to the International Energy Agency, data center energy use increased roughly 4% between 2018 and 2023. And by 2030, U.S. data center consumption is projected to grow by 133%.This rapid growth begs the question: Are we ready for the AI energy surge?To help explain how and why AI uses so much energy and what communities can do to prepare for increased energy demand, I'm joined by Dr. Naeem Turner. Dr. Naeem Turner-Bandele is an engineer, entrepreneur, and CEO of Latimer Enterprises, an energy technology and services company focused on helping individuals, businesses, and communities take control of how they power their world through practical, affordable energy solutions. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and an MBA from NYU Stern, and has spent the past decade developing tools, policies, and planning frameworks that support energy affordability, grid reliability, and resilient energy systems across the United States.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------Dr. Naeem TurnerLatimer Enterprises: ⁠https://www.latimerent.com/team/naeem-turner-bandele⁠LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/latimer-enterprises/Email: hello@latimerent.comSources:https://www.iea.org/commentaries/what-the-data-centre-and-ai-boom-could-mean-for-the-energy-sector⁠ ⁠https://www.belfercenter.org/research-analysis/ai-data-centers-us-electric-grid⁠

How Taiwan rose to global prominence in high tech manufacturing, from computer maker to the world's leading chip manufacturer. How did Taiwan, a former Japanese colony and the last fortress of the defeated Chinese Nationalists, ascend to such heights in high-tech manufacturing? In Island Tinkerers: Innovation and Transformation in the Making of Taiwan's Computing Industry (MIT Press, 2024), Honghong Tinn tells the critical history of how hobbyists and enthusiasts in Taiwan, including engineers, technologists, technocrats, computer users, and engineers-turned-entrepreneurs, helped transform the country with their hands-on engagement with computers. Rather than engaging in wholesale imitation of US sources, she explains, these technologists tinkered with imported computing technology and experimented with manufacturing their own versions, resulting in their own brand of successful innovation. Defying the stereotype of “the West innovates, and the East imitates,” Tinn tells the story of Taiwanese technologists' efforts over the past six decades. Beginning in the 1960s, they grappled with the “black-boxed” computers that were newly available through international technical-aid programs. Shortly after, multinational corporations that outsourced transistor and integrated circuit assembly overseas began employing Taiwanese engineers and factory workers. Island tinkerers developed strategies to adapt, modify, assemble, and work with computers in an inventive manner. It was through this creative and ingenious tinkering with computers that they were able to gain a better understanding of the technology, opening the door to future manufacturing endeavors that now include Acer, Foxconn, Asus, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Honghong Tinn is Assistant Professor in the Program in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Li-Ping Chen is a visiting scholar in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California. Her research interests include literary translingualism, diaspora, and nativism in Sinophone, inter-Asian, and transpacific contexts. Li-Ping's NBN episodes on Taiwan Studies are supported by the Chun and Jane Chiu Family Foundation Taiwan Studies Program at Oregon State University.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.In the world's most dangerous working environments it can seem like everything is out to kill you. The equipment you use. The materials you work with. The very air you breathe. Stored energy is a coiled viper waiting for the right moment to lash out. Owners, manufacturers, contractors, and beyond have developed safety protocols to combat STCKY, that is, Stuff That Can Kill You. Gravity, Motion, Mechanical, Electrical, Pressure, Sound, Radiation, Biological, Chemical, Temperature. This season is all about the means of murder as authors put our STCKY detective skills to the test. This is Season 9, Stuff That Can Kill You.This is Episode 4, where chemical is our STCKY means of death. This is Huey and Madelyn, Dead Heat by Wil A. EmersonDetective Farrell has a strange case on his desk. He needs our help if he's going to move the case of Huey and Madelyn to the closed pile. Here are the people involved in the case in the order we met them:Huey McPherson, accountant, dead guyMadelyn McPherson, insurance clerk, dead galAlexia Finkbeiner, Huey's boss and mistressTula Cunningham, Madelyn's bossWalter Duggan, hardware store ownerMrs. Doyle, put out neighborMickey, unhappy lawn boyABOUT Wil A. EmersonWil A. Emerson is a Reg. Nurse turned full time writer. She's lived throughout the U.S. and spent a few years in Europe, too. Her stories feature people she's met on her travels. A novel for women's fiction was her first sale, but her characters kept telling more deadly tales. Thus, a long list of releases appeared with the dead or deadly as main characters. When her muse rests, she paints. No idle fingers.

What if robots could handle tedious retraction, precise bone milling, or even autonomous suturing, freeing surgeons to focus on complex decision-making and more patients?In this episode of the Succeed In Medicine Podcast, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with Dr. Michael Yip, as he explains that today's robots primarily serve as extensions of human surgeons via teleoperation (e.g., da Vinci for precision in hard-to-reach areas), enhancing dexterity, visualization, and accuracy rather than replacing them. He highlights existing autonomous applications in "hard tissue" procedures like the Mako or Stryker robots for precise bone milling in joint replacements, and non-contact examples like CyberKnife for focused radiation therapy.For soft tissue surgery, the more challenging domain due to tissue deformation and variability, autonomy is emerging in simpler, repetitive tasks such as retraction, suctioning, or basic suturing, with demonstrations dating back 15 years but real-world deployment lagging due to engineering, data, and economic hurdles. Dr. Yip discusses why demos in controlled settings don't easily translate to ORs, the shift to data-driven AI (with risks of out-of-distribution failures), and regulatory challenges like FDA expertise gaps and defining probabilistic safety. He predicts stepwise adoption: starting with assistant-level tasks (replacing med student/intern roles in retraction/suction), then progressing to free surgeons for higher-value work, especially in underserved rural areas via telesurgery. Full "skin-to-skin" autonomy (e.g., simple lipoma excision or appendectomy) remains years away, limited by hardware combining strength, dexterity, and precision in one system, though teams of specialized robots could accelerate progress. Ultimately, robotics will alleviate surgeon burnout from growing demand, not eliminate jobs soon.Three Actionable TakeawaysEmbrace Robotics Early in Training: Surgeons and trainees should gain hands-on experience with diverse robotic technologies now, treating them as essential tools that augment precision and dexterity rather than threats to obsolescence.Focus on Repetitive Tasks for Autonomy Gains: Prioritize robotic assistance in tedious, physically demanding steps like retraction, suctioning, or basic closure to free up time, reduce fatigue, and improve efficiency in high-volume or resource-limited settings.Stay Informed on Regulatory and Economic Shifts: Monitor evolving FDA guidelines for AI/surgical autonomy, economic incentives (e.g., cost savings in joint replacements or anastomosis), and liability frameworks to prepare for integration that enhances patient access and outcomes.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Dr. Michael Yip is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC San Diego and Director of the Advanced Robotics and Controls Laboratory (ARCLab). His research focuses on surgical robots, biomimetic design, robot learning, autonomous robotic surgery, and deformable tissue manipulation. He has received the NSF CAREER Award, NIH Trailblazer Award, IEEE RAS Distinguished Lecturer recognition, and was named Faculty Innovator of the Year at UCSD in 2024 and elected to the National Academy of Inventors. Previously a Disney researcher at Amazon Robotics, he holds a BSc in Mechatronics Engineering from the University of Waterloo, MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of British Columbia, and PhD in Bioengineering from Stanford University.Website: yip.eng.ucsd.edu and ucsdarclab.comAbout the Host:Dr. Bradley Block – Dr. Bradley Block is a board-certified otolaryngologist at ENT and Allergy Associates in Garden City, NY.
