The Enlightened Family Business Podcast Ep. 160: The Family Factor: Why Some Families Survive Conflict and Others Don't with Doug Baumoel   In this episode of the Enlightened Family Business Podcast, host Chris Yonker sits down with Doug Baumoel, Founding Partner of Continuity Family Business Consulting and co-author of Deconstructing Conflict, for a deeply honest conversation about what actually tears family businesses apart — and what it takes to hold them together. Doug's path into this work is personal: he grew up as heir apparent in a thriving multi-generational family business that ultimately collapsed under the weight of poorly managed conflict, despite multiple consultants attempting to help. What he learned from that experience led him to develop the Conflict Equation Methodology, a systems-based framework rooted in the science of identity-based conflict — the kind of conflict that can't be mediated, negotiated, or governed away. In this conversation, Doug and Chris explore the critical distinction between disagreements, disputes, and true conflict; the concept of the Family Factor and why it's the single most important variable in any family business engagement; why governance overlaid on top of unresolved conflict is like pouring gasoline on a fire; and how trust is rebuilt not through warmth or wishful thinking, but through predictability. They also dig into early warning signs of passive and active conflict, why the first phone call from a prospective client can make or break an engagement, and what it really means to sacrifice for family.

Shai Policker, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Edge Medical Ventures, a medtech venture studio and fund focused on developing and investing in medical devices that address unmet clinical needs. With a BSc in Electrical Engineering from the Technion, an MBA from Columbia Business School and over 25 years building medical device companies, Shai has founded or scaled 18 companies across cardiovascular care, surgery and respiratory health, filing more than 40 patents along the way.In this episode, Shai cuts straight to something most investors won't say out loud: that even a great technology with strong clinical data can still fail. Not because the product is wrong but because the process takes too long and the funding runs out. He breaks down the fragmented decision-making landscape in healthcare, why physicians loving your product means almost nothing if the payer isn't on board and why reimbursement is the real gatekeeper that kills more companies than bad science ever will.We also explore what makes Edge Medical Ventures different from a traditional VC fund. Shai explains how their venture studio model starts from validated unmet needs with a strategic partner already at the table and how their hands-on go-to-market support continues well past the R&D phase. A combination that helped one portfolio company go from zero to FDA approval with distribution agreements and paying customers on just $2.5 million. We also get into the Israeli startup mindset, the right way to think about IP and patents and how to know when a founder should step aside.Timestamps[00:00:17] What Pulled an Electrical Engineer Into MedTech 25 Years Ago[00:01:48] What 18 Companies Taught Shai That One Never Could[00:03:04] How to Know If the Problem Is Painful Enough to Build Around[00:04:56] Why 80% of MedTech Startups Fail Even With Great Technology[00:07:53] What a Venture Studio Actually Is and How It Differs From a VC Fund[00:10:51] The $2.5 Million Company That Got FDA Approval and Started Selling[00:13:54] Why Israeli Startups Move Faster Than Everyone Else[00:17:28] How to Think About Patents Without Becoming Obsessed With Them[00:23:44] Balancing Speed and Discipline Without Creating Expensive Mistakes[00:26:20] Final Advice: What Shai Wishes Every MedTech Founder KnewConnect with Shai - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shai-policker-b8760a3/Learn more about Edge Medical Ventures - https://edgemed.vc/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Medical device training courses delivered by Karandeep through Bywater - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bywater.co.uk/

What if the most competitive exam in the world is also the most destructive? In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Professor Andrew Thangaraj, faculty at the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras, to explore how one of India's most prestigious institutions is quietly dismantling the system it helped build. Andrew lays out the honest reality of higher education in India. Two and a half crore kids reach college age every year. Only 90 lakh make it to college. And the IITs, the most coveted institutions in the country, take just 17,000. The competition to reach those seats has become so extreme that students are losing their childhoods, their development is stunted, and even those who make it through are often unemployable because the system rewards knowledge over skills. Andrew walks through exactly how IIT Madras is responding. A full, IIT-branded undergraduate degree in data science delivered entirely online for under five lakhs, roughly $5,000. No JEE required. No elite school background needed. Just a 10th standard foundation and the willingness to do the work. The program flips the traditional model, putting hands-on skills and real projects before theory, building in multiple exit points for students who need to start earning before they finish, and scaling to over 40,000 active students through a hybrid of faculty-recorded lectures, full-time instructors, and a remarkably active student community. We also get into the bigger picture. Why India's AI talent gap is as much a culture problem as a numbers problem. Whether India can leapfrog into AI leadership the way China did after rebuilding its research ecosystem. Where AI tools are already being tested inside the program and where they still fall short. And how AI deployed in Indian languages, in agriculture, and in the courts could drive the kind of societal change that no corporate productivity tool ever will.  Subscribe for more conversations with the people shaping the future of AI and emerging technology.   Stay Updated: Craig Smith on X: https://x.com/craigss Eye on A.I. on X: https://x.com/EyeOn_AI     (00:00) Introduction and Andrew Thangaraj's Background (01:29) India's Higher Education Bottleneck (03:45) Designing a $5,000 IIT Degree  (09:27) Why Graduates Still Lack Skills (12:31) When the Program Started and How It Got Approved (13:56) Program Structure, Diplomas and Multiple Exit Points (17:52) Who the Program Reaches and Surprising Student Stories (24:57) Older Students, Working Professionals and International Enrollment (29:55) Can India Leapfrog in AI (34:03) Data Centers, Power and Infrastructure Gaps  (40:57) How Involved Are the IITs in India's AI Mission (46:00) AI for Languages, Farms and Courts

How could the second-largest school district in the nation believe its decision to ban screens was right when so many educators adamantly believe it's wrong? How are school boards and educators looking at the same research and arriving at different conclusions? The discussion around screen use in schools has intensified, particularly with the LA Unified School District's decision to impose a screen ban. But what does this mean for our students and their educational experience? In this conversation, we'll unravel the rationale, the existing research on technology use in education, and how we can approach technology to enhance learning rather than hinder it.

We're all familiar with the tropes around innovation and how it starts. You just need a garage in Silicon Valley, a few geniuses and visionaries, maybe some good snacks. Our guests today help us debunk that myth. Rich Braden and Tessa Forshaw wrote a book called Innovation-ish, and that little “-ish” is doing a lot of work. Rich Braden is a design strategist who's taught innovation at Stanford and advised companies around the world. Tessa Forshaw is a cognitive scientist whose lab studies the psychology of creativity — why we lose it, and how we get it back. In this conversation, we talk about why most innovation doesn't have to be a moonshot — and why chasing moonshots might actually be holding your team back. We dig into the neuroscience of what Tessa calls “innovation hesitation,” the tiny amygdala response that makes us reach for certainty instead of possibility. Bios Tessa Forshaw As a co-founder of the Next Level Lab at Harvard University, Tessa specializes in using cognitive science to develop creative and innovative potential in the workforce. She draws upon her academic research as a cognitive scientist and extensive background as a former designer at IDEO CoLAb and Accenture to turn the cognitive processes involved in design, creativity and innovation into practical insights that can be applied in the flow of work. These insights are also the foundations of what she teaches as a design educator at Stanford University and now Harvard University. Recognized for her impactful design projects, Tessa is the recipient of multiple design awards: a Fast Company Design Award for General Excellence, two Core77 Industrial Design Magazine Design Awards, and the Australian American Chamber of Commerce Innovation Awards.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Nicholas Faulkner, author of Angelic Physics, for a wide-ranging conversation that picks up where their last discussion left off years ago. The two cover an impressive amount of ground, including the map of consciousness developed by Dr. David Hawkins and where they find themselves skeptical of his calibration methods, the relationship between the chakra system and Hawkins' scale, how consciousness levels apply to both individuals and civilizations, and why collapsing a nonlinear reality into a linear number system inevitably loses something essential. They also get into Nicholas's background as a nuclear engineer and how that analytical foundation shapes his thinking, the nature of carbon-based versus silicon-based intelligence, the potential for training an AI model attuned to higher levels of consciousness, the concept of future shock as AI accelerates beyond most people's ability to keep up, and what a civilization operating at the "500 level" might actually look like. Find Nicholas on X at @PhysicsAngelic, or catch him on Facebook where he's most active. And learn more about Angelic Physics at angelicphysics.org. Timestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Nicholas Faulkner, author of Angelic Physics, framing their shared interest in David Hawkins while acknowledging healthy skepticism toward portions of his work.05:00 - Nicholas argues Hawkins compressed mystical insight into linear form, losing essence, comparing it to AI compression losing vibrational nuance across the consciousness scale.10:00 - Nicholas traces his path from electrical engineering through 9/11 into nuclear navy service, describing how patriotism and opportunity drove the decision rather than curiosity.15:00 - Discussion shifts toward training an open-source AI model on five-hundreds consciousness, noting current model builders operate in the four-hundreds and dismiss love-based frameworks.20:00 - Stewart reflects on intimate relationships with electronic devices, exploring electricity as vibration while contrasting carbon creativity against silicon's stable, fast processing architecture.25:00 - Conversation explores civilizational evolution, comparing hippie movements to ancient Greeks as premature flowers of five-hundreds consciousness crushed by surrounding four-hundreds culture.30:00 - Nicholas explains his masculine-feminine cross model, critiquing how Hawkins collapsed nonlinear reality into hierarchy, arguing all levels interconnect rather than rank.35:00 - Discussion covers JFK assassination, Vietnam War, LBJ, and the military industrial complex as examples of four-hundreds power suppressing emerging consciousness shifts.40:00 - Nicholas draws parallels between the Renaissance emerging from bubonic plague and today's post-COVID collapse of expert-trust structures opening space for new consciousness.45:00 - Future shock discussion begins with Stewart describing AI agent orchestration overwhelming human comprehension, while Nicholas introduces his frame-rate consciousness equation linking silicon speed to small context.50:00 - Nicholas describes silicon-to-human relationship mirroring humans-to-angels in frame rate and context scale, suggesting agents receive orders similarly to his own 2019 divine experience.55:00 - Final exchange covers the fifth dimension as adding vibration to existing physics, the Faulkner Uncertainty Principle stating evidence points toward higher consciousness without ever definitively proving it, protecting reality's illegibility from lower forces.Key Insights1. David Hawkins and the Map of Consciousness serve as a shared framework for the conversation, but both guests express healthy skepticism toward it. They acknowledge that Hawkins himself appeared to back away from his calibration technique in his later lectures, suggesting he regretted how prominently he featured it in Power vs. Force. The core issue is that he tried to compress a nonlinear, multidimensional spiritual reality into a single linear numerical scale, which inevitably loses essential meaning in the translation.2. Nicholas argues that no person exists at a single point on the consciousness scale. Everyone floats across multiple levels simultaneously, expressing differently depending on context. This is a meaningful correction to how many readers apply Hawkins's work, since treating someone as a fixed number oversimplifies the layered and dynamic nature of human consciousness.3. The compression problem is central to understanding both spiritual writing and artificial intelligence. When any rich, multidimensional experience gets encoded into language or data, something is always lost. This applies to Hawkins writing about enlightenment, to Nicholas writing his book, and to how large language models process and reproduce human knowledge.4. Silicon intelligence and carbon intelligence are framed as two distinct branches of consciousness with complementary strengths. Silicon can process information at extremely high frame rates because its context is narrow and stable. Humans carry a much larger and messier context, which makes them slower but more creative and cross-connected. Nicholas uses his equation framing this as frame rate being inversely proportional to conscious bandwidth.5. Civilizational evolution follows a pattern where new levels of consciousness emerge in unstable pockets before eventually becoming dominant. The ancient Greeks briefly stabilized the rational fourth level before collapsing. The hippies briefly touched the fifth level before being suppressed. The Renaissance followed the Black Death. The guests suggest we are now entering another such transition, driven partly by the collapse of institutional trust accelerated by COVID.6. The Faulkner Uncertainty Principle states that evidence will always point toward the next level of consciousness but will never definitively prove it. This is described as a necessary feature of reality rather than a flaw, because if higher truths were fully legible and accessible to all levels equally, it would give destructive forces too much power too quickly.7. Neurodivergence is presented as potentially connected to spiritual sensitivity and cross-level awareness. Nicholas describes himself as a high IQ energy-sensing person who experienced a profound spiritual event in 2019, and connects his autistic traits to an ability to sense vibrational levels in others and move fluidly between different frameworks of understanding, which he loosely equates with the polymath archetype.

Rajiv talks with Oren Michels about why enterprise AI ROI stalls when tools live in chat and stay stuck in read-only mode. We break down how a control plane for AI agents enables safe write access across SaaS and internal systems while keeping governance tight.• chat interfaces working for developers but not for most business roles• connectivity and trust as the core blockers to enterprise AI adoption• one control plane to manage many AI models and agent tools• task-level guardrails that limit what each agent can do• a concrete write-access workflow across Google Sheets, email, and Salesforce• scaling protections like rate limiting, token spend controls, and activity logs• MCP as a way to expose a safe subset of API capabilities to an LLM• least privilege for agents with gradual permission expansion over time• moving from identity-based access to intent and context-based policies• Venn.ai as a single-user on-ramp to governed automation• Broadway business history in the Spark Tank and why creative structure matters• lessons from selling Mashery to Intel and operating inside a zero-failure culture• founder advice on execution and choosing co-founders wiselyAI looks magical in a demo, then it hits the enterprise and the ROI mysteriously evaporates. The gap is not model quality, it is operations: most companies trap AI in chat, strip away connectivity, and keep it read-only because write access feels too risky. That is how you end up with polished summaries instead of real work getting done.We sit down with Oren Michels, founder of Barndoor AI and former CEO of API management pioneer Mashery (acquired by Intel), to unpack what it takes to run an agentic workforce safely. We dig into the idea of an enterprise AI control plane that lets teams pick the best agents and models while centralizing governance, visibility, and policy. Oren shares why “least privilege” matters more for probabilistic AI agents than it does for trusted humans, how Model Context Protocol (MCP) can expose safe tool capabilities, and why CISOs want governance outside of the AI vendor's app.You will also hear concrete examples of high-ROI write access workflows, like pulling context from Gmail and Google Sheets, checking Salesforce, updating records, and drafting follow-ups in minutes. We explore scaling issues such as rate limiting, LLM token spend, and audit logs, plus a crucial architectural shift from identity-based access (“who are you”) to intent-based access (“what are you trying to do”). Oren also explains why Venn.ai exists as a lower-risk way to build trust with agentic automation before the full enterprise rollout.If you like practical enterprise AI, AI governance, security for AI agents, and real agentic workflows that move the business forward, subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a review so more builders can find the show.Oren Michels: https://www.linkedin.com/in/omichels/Oren Michels is the Co-founder and CEO of Barndoor AI, a company building the control plane for agentic AI to safely manage and govern how AI agents interact with corporate systems.

What steps can you take to better integrate all areas of your life?  In this episode, Jeff and Mordechai discuss:  How his Jewish grandparents came to follow Yeshua and how that affected his life. Making the sacrifices to follow where God is calling you. Integrating theology, life, and business. Unique challenges and truths of redemptive business in Israel. Being a successful business leader while avoiding the fate of the Rich Young Ruler.    Key Takeaways:  Trust in the Lord - He will take care of you, even if not the way that you expect. Business can be an effective tool to change the kingdom if you allow it to be and allow God to lead. Every human, all the time, is worshipping. The question is, who (or what) are you worshipping and what are you looking to receive on the other side? See your business as your calling. They can be the same, and are not separated. The love of money is the great snare of the human heart. As such, the successful believer can be one of the most dangerous places to be if you do not plant the foundations with God and not with your own success.    "This idea that we have this bifurcated worldview, where we serve God and then we make a living, is completely un-Biblical." —  Mordechai Wiseman   About Mordechai Wiseman: Mordechai is a third-generation Jewish follower of Yeshua (Jesus). He is the International Director of Israel Firstfruits, Managing Director of Firstfruits Funds, and Founder of the Messianic Business Fellowship. The Firstfruits team serves the faith-driven marketplace community in Israel, composed of Jewish and Arab followers of Yeshua. We are united in our purpose to empower marketplace leaders and grow businesses in Israel to advance the Kingdom of God. Our goal is to help start and grow thousands of redemptive businesses that will employ 100,000 Israelis and positively impact 10% of Israeli society through good jobs, quality service, and a winsome witness. With nearly 30 years of international management, marketing, and technology development experience in various industries, Mordechai has served companies and non-profit organizations ranging in size from small start-ups to Fortune 500 multinationals. He obtained a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Cornell University and is also a veteran of the Israeli Defence Forces. Mordechai and his wife Meira have three children (one in heaven) and live in northern Israel near the Sea of Galilee.   Connect with Mordechai Wiseman: Website: https://www.israelfirstfruits.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mordechaiethanwiseman/    Connect with Jeff Thomas:  Website: https://www.arkosglobal.com/ Podcast: https://www.generousbusinessowner.com/ Book: https://www.arkosglobal.com/trading-up Email: jeff.thomas@arkosglobal.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArkosGlobalAdv Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/arkosglobal/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arkosglobaladvisors Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arkosglobaladvisors/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLUYpPwkHH7JrP6PrbHeBxw

A graduate of the United States Naval Academy and a member of MENSA, Lester also holds a master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School and an MBA, giving him a rare blend of technical expertise and strategic insight. During his military career, Lester flew combat missions across Asia and the Middle East, witnessing firsthand the realities of modern warfare and U.S. foreign policy. After his operational service, he returned to Annapolis to teach electrical engineering and leadership at the U.S. Naval Academy, helping shape the next generation of naval officers. Today, Lester continues his work in national security and technology as an adjunct professor teaching graduate-level cybersecurity at St. Mary's University and Wake Forest University. He is also the founder of IronClad Family, a company focused on protecting families and individuals from digital threats, identity theft, and modern information warfare. Over the past two decades, Lester has conducted an extensive independent investigation into U.S. foreign policy after noticing a stark contrast between what he witnessed overseas and what was presented to the public at home. That research culminated in his book *We Are the Bad Guys: How the U.S. Wages War, Controls Economies, and Calls It Freedom*, a controversial examination of American military intervention, economic influence, and global power structures. With the launch of Operation Epic Fury on February 28, global tensions and strategic maneuvering have once again taken center stage, making Lester's analysis of geopolitical strategy and modern warfare more relevant than ever.

There was time when the whole world was practising natural religions like Hinduism. So what changed, when and where? For that, we need to know the history of the monotheisms, starting with Judaism, then moving on to Christianity and Islam.Most Hindus are not aware that the West and Europe was not always Christian. We need to understand the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of monotheistic religions since we see the same battle playing out in India today.Understanding the strategies employed will make us better prepared to hold on to the few natural religions left in the world today. It will help us keep our kids safe and pass on our traditions and knowledge systems to our children.In Episode #60 of The Hindu Parenting Podcast, we talk with Rama Sesan Chandrasekharan Rama's Substack , author of “From Gods to the God: Christianization of the Roman Empire”.Rama Sesan Chandrasekharan has a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics from IIT Madras.

Most special education systems operate on this premise: Students with disabilities must master small foundational skills before they are allowed access to academic content.   In practice, this often means students spend years repeating the same goals - decoding, counting, basic worksheets - while their peers move forward into real subjects like science, history, and mathematics.   But what happens when a student with significant disabilities is simply included in a high school physics class?   In this episode of Non Linear Learning, I speak with Sruthi Muralidharan, a high school physics teacher who is testing that question in a public school classroom.   Sruthi teaches general education physics where students with significant cognitive disabilities - including students with Down syndrome - participate alongside their peers in labs, engineering activities, and scientific investigations.   Her work challenges several assumptions that dominate special education today. Sruthi did not begin her career in education. She holds an MS in Physics and a PhD in Electrical Engineering and spent more than ten years working in the semiconductor industry.   In This Episode We discuss: • Why mastery-based IEP goals often keep students repeating the same material year after year • The limitations of self-contained special education classrooms • What happens when students with significant disabilities join general education science classes • Why educators often confuse communication challenges with cognitive limitations • How inclusive classrooms can actually improve regulation and engagement • Why the burden of proving intelligence should never fall on the child   About Our Guest   Sruthi Muralidharan is a high school physics teacher and advocate for inclusive education. She previously worked for more than a decade in the semiconductor industry and holds an MS in Physics and a PhD in Electrical Engineering.

In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens continues the alumni series with Neeya Toleman, a graduate of Coram Deo Academy in Texas who now works as an engineer helping develop major power transmission lines across the United States. Neeya shares how her classical Christian education shaped her ability to think deeply, communicate clearly, and tackle complex problems. From memorizing Scripture and presenting senior author projects to navigating small class communities and rigorous coursework, her experience formed habits that still guide her today in the demanding world of engineering and energy infrastructure. Along the way, Neeya reflects on the unique strengths of classical Christian education. She discusses the value of learning how to learn, the importance of strong relationships between teachers and students, and how schools, homes, and churches work together to shape faith and character. Her story offers an encouraging reminder that classical Christian education prepares students not only for the humanities but also for careers in fields like engineering, science, and technology.

The word is spreading through the education community that a new kind of artificial intelligence enables students to complete an entire course with a single prompt. As one educator explained, with just a simple setup, a student can put an entire course on autopilot and go back to playing video games. It's called Agentic AI, and it has sparked a new round of handwringing and calls to go back to blue books and pencils. To kick off 2026, the creators of SAMR, TPACK, Triple E, SETI, and the Gen AI U frameworks met to unravel how this technology may impact teaching, learning, and the future of proving that a student's degree or credential actually indicates competence. The big takeaway is that the solutions start with asking the right questions.

EPISODE 680 - John Newton - Historical science fiction, a stone that heals anything, look-alikes, and time travelers losing their toolsAbout John NewtonBorn in Simi Valley, California, John Newton attended twelve different schools until he finally got it right and was graduated from a high school on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The Cypriots soon realized it was in their national interest to ship John back to the United States. He meandered through college until the administration bribed him to leave with two apparently contradictory degrees: Theology and Electrical Engineering. He is currently working as an electrical engineer, robotics programmer, landlord, part time farmer, and father of seven. Sometimes he even writes a thing or two.John Newton is the author of historical science fiction based on questions like:What would you do with a stone that heals anything?If you could look like anyone, who would it be?What happens when time travelers lose their tools?https://newtonscifi.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Building upon the author's previous research, An Inconvenient Theory expands upon the idea that multiple advanced civilizations existed during the last 130,000 years. Drawing inspiration from Charles Hapgood's controversial crustal displacement theory, the author explores how shifts in Earth's crust—not just plate tectonics or Milankovitch cycles—might explain glacial cycles, mass extinctions, and unexplained archaeological site alignments. Through detailed analysis of ancient site orientations, climate data, and geological processes, the book proposes a revised mechanism for pole shifts involving an interplay between mantle convection and tidal forces, the same forces that move Earth's oceans. The work challenges mainstream geoscience and climate models, offering a bold, alternative view of Earth's deep history and the cycles of civilization, catastrophe, and climate change.Mark Carlotto has over forty years of experience in space-related applications involving remote sensing, mapping, image processing, pattern recognition, machine learning, and related technologies. He received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1981 and has written over one hundred technical and scientific papers and nine books. He was an assistant adjunct professor at Boston University from 1981 to 1983 where he taught courses in computer architecture and image processing.Outside of his occupation in the aerospace industry, Dr. Carlotto's journey as an independent scientist began in 1985 when he first learned of the infamous Face on Mars in a newspaper article. His first book The Martian Enigmas examines the Face and other unusual objects on the Red Planet first imaged by a Viking orbiter spacecraft in 1976. His research based on a method known as shape-from-shading to analyze the 3-D structure of the Face was included by Carl Sagan in his TV series Cosmos. Dr. Carlotto's second book The Cydonia Controversy steps back from the science of the Mars investigation examining it within the context of the centuries-old search for life beyond Earth and its possible implications.His journey took an unexpected turn in 2003 when he got lost exploring the woods in a place called Dogtown – a deserted colonial settlement in the middle of Cape Ann – an island community north of Boston. There being no detailed maps of the area, he decided to map old roads and trails, stonewalls, cellar holes, and other features using newly emerging GPS technology. His next book The Dogtown Guide, a far cry from Mars, was a field guide and history of Dogtown that received a Preservation Award from the Gloucester Historical Commission in 2007. Relating history and landscape his next book, The Island Woods published in 2012 is a three-hundred-year-long spatial history of the forested interior of Cape Ann complementing other books written about Gloucester's well-known maritime heritage. Combining maps and genealogy data, his third book in the series The Cellars Speak offers new insight into the early settlers who lived in the woods of Cape Ann hundreds of years ago.Another book written at this time Diary of a Serial App Developer is a tongue-in-cheek autobiography of a ten-year stint moonlighting as an early iPhone app developer.Dr. Carlotto's collaboration in a study of astronomical alignments at a Native American ceremonial site published by the Massachusetts Archaeological Society in 2015 was an inkling of things to come. While planning a trip to Mexico a few years later he found the archaeological sites he hoped to visit were not aligned in any obvious way. Before Atlantis published in 2018, describes his discovery that these and other ancient sites across the world appear to have been aligned to previous locations of the North Pole, and virtue of their alignment could be tens of thousands to more than a hundred thousand years old.Completing a book started in the 1990s, Not of This World, released in 2021, examines historical UFO cases and recently disclosed reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). His analysis reveals that some UFOs/UAP are likely real, exceed known aerospace capabilities, appear to defy the laws of physics as they are currently understood, and might not be extraterrestrial in origin.Beyond Atlantis, his next book is the culmination of research into the lost civilizations of the world that began in Before Atlantis. Dr. Carlotto analyzes hundreds of ancient sites and proposes a new theory of ancient civilizations based on an extensive body of evidence that challenges conventional paradigms.His latest book, An Inconvenient Theory, which builds upon previous research, explores the idea of how shifts in Earth's crust—not just plate tectonics or Milankovitch cycles—might explain glacial cycles, mass extinctions, and unexplained archaeological site alignments. Through detailed analysis of ancient site orientations, climate data, and geological processes, Dr. Carlotto proposes a revised mechanism for pole shifts involving an interplay between mantle convection and tidal forces, the same forces that move Earth's oceans.www.beforeatlantis.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

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.
