The U.S Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump Administration in ending Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians in the country which potentially could lead to deportations. The International Rescue Committee is trying to counter this setback. Hans Van de Weerd is the IRC Senior Vice President of Resettlement, Asylum and Integration. He shares insight on the current plight of those impacted and how misinformation is shaping perception of TPS holders. It's awful and the symptoms include explosive diarrhea. The current cyclosporiasis outbreak has been identified in more than half of the United States, but it's not exactly clear as to its origin other than lettuce. Jodie Guest, professor and senior vice chair in the department of epidemiology at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health talks about keeping your household safe and how the Centers for Disease Control under the Trump administration was forced to cut back on its surveillance network for several pathogens, including cyclospora.

Episode Summary Trust is the foundation of every customer relationship. But here's the uncomfortable truth: most businesses assume they have it when they don't. PwC's latest research found that 90% of executives believe their customers trust them highly — yet only 30% of customers actually do. That's a 60-point gap. And it's growing. In this episode, Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton from Emory University break down the five rules that are guaranteed to build genuine, lasting trust with your customers. These aren't theoretical — they're drawn from decades of real CX work, rooted in behavioural economics, and illustrated with the kinds of real-world examples that make you realise how often companies (and people) get this wrong. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why trust is earned, not given — and why that changes everything about how you approach customer relationships The authenticity trap: why trying to appear authentic is worse than not trying at all Why you should always tell customers the bad news early — and why hiding it always costs you more in the end The Fiverr story: how a supplier destroyed trust before they'd even started the job Why consistency and reliability are not soft values — they're heuristic signals that your customers use to judge whether they can trust you for the things that really matter How the "emotional bank account" works — and why you need to be in credit before something goes wrong Quote of the Episode: "The danger is people will be too strategic about authenticity. The point is not to act like you're authentic. The point is actually to be authentic." — Professor Ryan Hamilton, Emory University Resources Mentioned: Connect with Colin Shaw on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinrjshaw/ Connect with Professor Ryan Hamilton on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prof-ryan-hamilton/ Beyond Philosophy website: https://beyondphilosophy.com PwC Trust in Business Survey: https://www.pwc.com/us/en/library/trust-in-business-survey.html About the Hosts:  Colin Shaw is a LinkedIn 'Top Voice' with a massive 286,000 followers and 87,000 subscribers to his 'Why Customers Buy' newsletter.

For most data leaders, governance feels like the thing standing between them and progress. Bharathi Rajan, Vice President of Digital, AI, and Data at Swire Coca-Cola, joins Cindi Howson to share how she built the data foundation powering a $3 billion supply chain operation.

In this episode of The Skin Real, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with fellow board-certified dermatologist Dr. Amaris Geisler, a specialist in vulvar dermatoses based in Atlanta, to break the silence around a body part most women can't even name correctly — the vulva. They cover what the vulva actually is (versus the vagina), the most common conditions dermatologists see there (lichen sclerosis, eczema, psoriasis, and even skin cancer), and why so many women get dismissed with a yeast infection diagnosis instead of a real workup. Dr. Geisler explains the lifelong treatment path for lichen sclerosis, the risks of leaving it untreated (scarring and squamous cell carcinoma), how symptoms and pigmentary changes can present differently in skin of color, and why products like Vagisil and fragranced washes often cause more harm than good. The conversation also tackles the psychological and relational toll of vulvar skin disease, and closes with practical advice on red flags, finding a specialist, and what a proper workup with a dermatologist and gynecologist looks like. The throughline: your vulva is skin, it deserves the same care and attention as anywhere else on your body, and there is nothing shameful about asking for help.

After more than a decade of companies pouring money, technology, and consultants into customer experience, US customer satisfaction sits almost exactly where it did in 2013. Flat. Now AI arrives as the promised cavalry — and leaders are racing to bolt it onto everything before they understand what they're actually trying to fix. In this episode, Colin and Ryan separate the smart play from the slow-motion mistake. "AI-first" is sound management: if AI delivers a better, faster, or cheaper experience than a human, use it. But "AI-only" — AI sprinkled over everything like fairy dust because leaders are terrified of being left behind — is where companies quietly automate themselves into a commodity and erode the one thing they can't easily win back: trust. Using the now-infamous "microwave test" (brilliant for the peas, a disaster for the steak), Colin and Ryan dig into why so much CX investment has produced so little, and why the companies that win the next decade won't be the ones that adopted AI fastest — but the ones who knew exactly what they wanted it to do. What You'll Learn Why is a tool used without a strategy just an expensive way to make a bad experience happen faster The critical difference between "AI-first" (smart) and "AI-only" (reckless) — and how to tell which one you're actually doing The one question almost no organization can answer — and why you can't deploy AI well until you can How over-reliance on AI quietly costs you on two fronts: differentiation (the same prediction machine is available to every competitor) and trust (the moment customers feel they have to double-check you, you've lost) A simple, strategy-first decision framework for where AI lifts the experience and where a human still wins Featured Insight The companies that win the next decade won't be the ones that adopted AI fastest. They'll be the ones who knew exactly what they wanted it to do — and never lost sight of the most important thing: the customer's experience.

Independence Day is approaching!Imagine if someone has procured illegal fireworks from a couple of states over. Are you:1. first in line to light them?2. content to watch while others set them off?3. going to find a fire extinguisher — just in case — while loudly condemning the activity?Ken Carter, a psychologist at Oxford College of Emory University, says everyone has a different level of sensation-seeking. This episode, we get into the factors at play, like people's brain chemistry, when deciding whether or not to do an activity, like setting off fireworks.For low and average sensation-seekers, very thrilling activities like large, self-run fireworks displays can cause their bodies to produce a lot of cortisol, a stress hormone.On the other hand, high sensation-seekers, Carter says, "don't tend to produce that much cortisol when they're in those highly chaotic experiences. So when they're seeing those fireworks, they actually produce higher amounts of another chemical called dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter or a chemical messenger that's involved in pleasure."Carter has developed a 40-point self-assessment survey for people to figure out how much of a sensation-seeker they are. The survey can be found in his book, Buzz!Interested in more psychology episodes?

America turns 250 this year, and we'll tell the old story again. But where does it actually start? Daniel Hawk traces our founding back past 1776 to the Doctrine of Discovery that gave Christian powers the right to seize "unclaimed" land, and to a reading of Genesis that turned wilderness into property and the people already here into obstacles. We talk about the myth of innocence: the belief that we are fundamentally good, that the brutal parts didn't happen or didn't count. It let us justify almost anything, and it left violence in our bones. We talk about how Scripture was used to take land and how it reads differently from underneath empire, about Canada and South Africa beginning to face their histories, and about what real repair asks of us - slow, relational, measured in generations. As we mark 250 years, this is an invitation to be honest about the first half of the story before we write the next.L. Daniel Hawk (PhD, Emory University) is professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Ashland Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio. Aspects of his work on biblical narrative take a postcolonial turn in books such as Joshua in 3-D: A Commentary on Biblical Conquest and Manifest Destiny and as coeditor of Evangelical Postcolonial Conversations.Daniel's Book:Undoing Manifest DestinyConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

It turns out fatherhood isn't just a role — it's a biological transformation. Darby Saxbe, an award-winning psychologist at USC, draws on decades of research in Dad Brain to show how the fathering brain literally rewires itself through time and practice. Then, in the second half of the show, Emory University professor of Anthropology James Rilling traces the evolutionary story in Father Nature — how human males uniquely developed the capacity for deep parental involvement.

Why would anyone step out of an airplane — and why, after a fatal accident, would they go back up the very next day? In this episode I talk through that question using a recent New York Times feature on a brutal weekend in extreme sports, paired with my own interview with Dr. Kenneth Carter of Emory University, author of Buzz. It turns out "adrenaline junkie" mostly gets it wrong. The trait at the center of this is sensation seeking, and high sensation seekers actually process risk differently — running on less of the stress hormone cortisol and more dopamine — so the moment that floods most of us with panic gives them clarity instead. I break down Marvin Zuckerman's four components of the trait, explain why it's tied to openness but surprisingly not to extraversion, share my own (low) score on Carter's scale, and land on the practical point Carter made to me: the danger usually isn't the activity itself, it's doing it impulsively — so look before you leap, especially if you're leaping off a bridge.

Many veterans struggle with symptoms of PTSD. Is enough being done to help them? What are some of the treatments available? John Eaton, Vice President for Complex Care at Wounded Warrior Project, and Jessica Keller, Associate Professor at Emory University, join us.

John Eaton from Wounded Warrior Project and Dr. Jessica Keller of Emory University talk to Rich about how they are helping vets with PTSD with psychedelic drugs

The Buddha taught a path of awakened living, but how does that manifest in today's world of constant connectivity and widespread suffering? How do we keep our hearts open without being defined or hardened by the pain that surrounds us, whether personal, collective, or historical? How do we navigate the paradox of holding both pain and joy, without mistaking suffering for punishment or personal failure? Can we infuse our compassion with wisdom and perspective to find the agency to take meaningful action in our communities? In her new series, Engaged Compassion, Sharon delves into these questions and more, engaging in candid conversations with a diverse group of teachers, activists, and changemakers. For the seventh episode in the series, Sharon's speaks with teacher Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi, marking his first appearance on the Metta Hour.Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi, PhD, is the cofounder and director of the Emory-Tibet Partnership, a multi-dimensional initiative founded in 1998 to bring together the foremost contributions of the Western scholastic tradition and the Tibetan Buddhist sciences of mind and healing. He is also professor of practice in Emory University's Department of Religion. In 2018, he launched, with the Dalai Lama, SEE Learning, a free compassion curriculum for children. Geshe Lobsang, a former monk, was born in Kinnaur, a small Himalayan kingdom adjoining Tibet. He began his monastic training at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics and continued his education at Drepung Loseling Monastery in south India, where he received his Geshe Lharampa degree in 1994, the highest academic degree granted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.In this conversation, Geshe and Sharon speak about:• How Geshe grew up in the Himalayas • Becoming a monk at age 14 in 1974• Geshe and Sharon's first meeting • Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics• Cognitively Based Compassion Training • What neuroscience says about compassion• Tania Singer's research work• Richie Davidson's discovery with neuroplasticity• The inner qualities that are actually skills• Putting compassion into real action• How discernment must guide compassion• Story of the starfish on the beach• How small acts of kindness affect others• Developing the inner disposition for kindness• Is compassion fatigue actually compassion?• The natural reciprocity of compassion • “Compassionomics” by Stephen Trzeciak• Why self-compassion is a struggle• Accepting the human condition• Drepung Loseling Monastery• H.H.

Summary Artificial Intelligence is transforming marketing faster than almost any technology before it. Brands can now create professional-quality advertisements in hours rather than months and at a fraction of the cost. But as AI-generated creative becomes more common, an important question is emerging: Are brands becoming more efficient while losing some of the humanity that customers value? In this episode, Ben Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton explore the growing use of AI in advertising and marketing. They discuss why customers may care less about how cheaply content is produced and more about whether it feels authentic, trustworthy, and emotionally engaging. They also examine why AI may unintentionally create a flood of mediocre content, why consumers often value effort and craftsmanship, and how marketers can use AI without sacrificing what makes their brands distinctive. The discussion reveals that while AI is a powerful tool, it is not a substitute for customer understanding, emotional insight, or great strategy. Best Quote from the Episode: "The companies that win won't be the ones using the most AI. They'll be the ones using AI without losing their humanity."  Ben Shaw Key Takeaways: Customers don't buy efficiency—they buy value, trust, and emotional connection. AI-generated advertising may lower production costs, but it can also reduce perceived authenticity. Consumers often use effort and craftsmanship as signals of quality and credibility. As AI-generated content becomes widespread, "realness" may become an increasingly valuable differentiator. Unlimited AI revisions can lead to creative dilution and "death by a thousand prompts." AI won't fix poor marketing strategy; it simply allows marketers to produce more content faster. Great marketing still comes from human insight, emotion, creativity, and understanding customer needs. The most successful brands will use AI as a tool, not as a replacement for strategic thinking. Why You Should Listen: If you're a marketer, business leader, customer experience professional, or simply curious about how AI is changing the relationship between brands and customers, this episode offers a balanced and practical perspective. You'll learn where AI genuinely creates value, where it creates risks, and why authenticity may become one of the most important competitive advantages in the years ahead.

In this summer-ready episode of "Transmission Interrupted," host Jill Morgan sits down with Dr. Andi Shane, Division Chief for Pediatric Infectious Disease at Emory and Medical Director of the Special Care Unit at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, to tackle the itchy, the icky, and the often misunderstood risks of summer: bugs, bites, and bathrooms. As families gear up for vacations, outdoor adventures, and the return to school, Jill and Dr. Shane break down the real dangers posed by bug bites and creepy-crawlies, offering practical guidance to parents for preventing itching, infections, and accidental exposures. They discuss best practices for using insect repellents on children, why covering up is sometimes easier said than done, and the importance of checking kids (and pets) for ticks—along with what tick-borne illnesses to watch out for as changing climates shift the landscape of risks across the country. The episode doesn't shy away from common but uncomfortable realities like head lice, exploring why these unwelcome visitors are more gross than genuinely dangerous, and shares expert strategies for dealing with them calmly. Dr. Shane also covers hand hygiene, safe management of public restrooms, and the influx of “cooties” when kids return to school, offering memorable and sometimes hilarious tips for keeping families healthy through the literal and figurative messes of summer. Wrapping up, Jill and Dr. Shane emphasize the ongoing importance of vaccination, regular pediatric care, and practical steps every parent can take to minimize risks and avoid unexpected hospital visits. Whether you're heading to camp, beach, or just the local playground, this episode is your guide to surviving and thriving through bugs, bites, and bathrooms. Questions or comments for NETEC?

In this special episode of The Coherence Code Podcast, Dr. Lorne Brown shares a recording from the Healthy Seminars webinar series Anatomy of the Ego with Eli Recht. Together, they explore how the ego creates suffering through fear, false beliefs, emotional resistance, and unconscious defense mechanisms.Eli explains why suffering is not caused by external events but by our internal relationship to those events, and how awareness, acceptance, and conscious feeling can dissolve the cycle of suffering. Blending psychology, spirituality, mindfulness, and practical self-inquiry, this conversation offers a roadmap for moving from inner conflict to peace and coherence.Key Takeaways:The ego is not who you are—it is a mode of perception based on separation and duality. Suffering is created internally through resistance, not by external circumstances. Emotions are meant to move through us; when suppressed, they become trapped and fuel suffering. Awareness is the antidote to false beliefs, emotional resistance, and ego identification. Peace emerges when we stop fighting reality and learn to consciously experience what is present.Where to find Eli Recht:Website: https://elirecht.com/Optional donations for this webinar series can be made in one of three ways according to your preference:-Through Eli: Venmo (@Eli-Recht, last four digits: 4492), Zelle (info@elirecht.com), and PayPal (paypal.me/EliRechtTeaching)-Directly to Rancho Coastal Humane Society: https://rchumanesociety.org/donate/-To a local animal shelter dear to your heartYou can find past Lectures with Eli Recht on the Healthy Seminars Youtube Chanel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecveRQffXg4&list=PL-x76JGN5gKO23aGzqEdVJXntaxVt9gqvEli Recht's Bio:Eli Recht is a counselor, educator, and speaker who bridges psychology and spiritual awakening.

In this episode of the Oncology Brothers podcast, we discussed challenging cases focused on metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with common EGFR mutations. Joined by experts Dr. Shirish Gadgeel from the Emory University and Dr. Wade Iams from Tennessee Oncology, the discussion revolved around two real-life patient cases. The first case featured a 54-year-old gentleman with active tobacco use and diffusely metastatic NSCLC, including an isolated brain lesion. The panel explored treatment options, including single-agent osimertinib versus dual combinations of amivantamab-lazertinib and osimertinib-chemotherapy, emphasizing the importance of shared decision-making and considering co-mutations and patient demographics. In the second case, the conversation shifted to supportive care and managing side effects, particularly focusing on skin toxicity associated with amivantamab. The experts shared their proactive approaches to patient education and the significance of monitoring and adjusting treatment plans to enhance patient quality of life.   Key Points: In EGFR-mutated NSCLC with CNS metastases, treatment selection between single-agent osimertinib and combination amivantamab-lazertinib vs. osimertinib-chemotherapy requires individualized consideration of age, co-mutations, extent of disease, and patient preference rather than mutation status alone. Younger patients with CNS disease may benefit from more aggressive upfront combination therapy, while shared decision-making remains central to navigating the expanded efficacy versus increased toxicity trade-off. Dermatologic toxicities associated with amivantamab requires proactive management including supportive care regimen, early dose adjustments and close patient monitoring to maintain treatment continuity. Providing the best available upfront therapy in metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC is critical, as sequencing options become more limited at progression. Join us for an insightful discussion on the latest treatment algorithms, the importance of personalized care, and the evolving landscape of NSCLC management.   Listen us on: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/31BXhY9FM4gPWG10WgE11o Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/oncology-brothers-practice-changing-cancer-discussions/id1653340966   Follow us on social media: ⁠X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/oncbrothers ⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oncbrothers Website: https://oncbrothers.com/   Don't forget to subscribe for more episodes featuring conference highlights and challenging cases in oncology! #EGFRMutated, #LungCancer, #ThoracicOncology, #PersonalizedMedicine, #OncologyBrothers

DC EKG with Joe GroganThe Economics of Ozempic and Other Weight Loss DrugsEpisode 136.5 (“Prescription Refill” – A replay from the archives)Original Air Date: May 2024In this episode, Joe Grogan welcomes Ben Ippolito, Senior Fellow in Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, to discuss the rapidly evolving economics of GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.Ben explains the two main competitors in this market—Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy versus Eli Lilly's Mounjaro and Zepbound. Revealing how insurance coverage decisions drive pharmaceutical marketing strategy.The conversation reveals a critical irrationality in Medicare policy: the statutory prohibition on covering weight loss drugs despite their profound clinical and quality-of-life benefits. Yet these same drugs are covered for diabetes and cardiovascular risk reduction.Ben explores the surprising economics of drug pricing through gross-to-net pricing—the massive gap between list prices and what insurers actually pay through rebates and discounts.The episode examines critical implications of the Inflation Reduction Act's price negotiation provisions. Once Medicare negotiates Ozempic's price, that same price applies to all products using the same active ingredient. This creates cascading market effects: competitors must match those prices to remain on formularies, new entrants face lower pricing power even if clinically superior, and pharmaceutical companies may abandon promising programs due to regulatory uncertainty.Ben argues Congress doesn't need to act immediately to expand Medicare coverage, but likely will within a few years.Joe and Ben discuss unintended consequences of government price regulation, including effects on innovation and drug development pipelines. They explore how price controls announced before elections affect pharmaceutical strategy and development timelines.Concluding with Ben's research on Medicare Advantage and why both Democrats and Republicans scrutinize this private alternative to traditional Medicare.

Nostalgia isn't just "remembering the good old days." It's a bittersweet emotion—the strange mix of warmth, loss, pride, and longing that can make you feel good… even when the memory you're describing sounds objectively terrible. In this episode, Colin and Ryan dig into why nostalgia is so powerful (and why it's everywhere right now). They explore the paradox: people don't just get nostalgic about the happy stuff—they also get nostalgic about the hard stuff, because it becomes part of identity ("I survived," "it made me," "we were close," "look how far we've come"). And for Customer Experience? Nostalgia isn't retro wallpaper. It's an emotional lever tied to belonging, meaning, and identity—exactly the things that shape customer decisions. What you'll hear in this episode Why nostalgia is pleasant and painful at the same time Why people compete over who had it worse How nostalgia acts like an emotional "anchor" during uncertainty How brands "clone" nostalgia in advertising—and why it works when it's authentic Quote of the episode "Nostalgia isn't about reliving the pain—it's about reliving the meaning." — Colin Shaw Resources Mentioned Colin Shaw - https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinrjshaw/ Professor Ryan Hamilton - http://linkedin.com/in/ryan-hamilton-49b3321  About the Hosts: Colin Shaw is a LinkedIn 'Top Voice' with a massive 286,000 followers and 87,000 subscribers to his 'Why Customers Buy' newsletter.

In this episode of the Straight White American Jesus Sunday Interview, host Leah Payne speaks with Jonathan Calvillo, sociologist of religion at Candler School of Theology at Emory University and author of The Saints of Santa Ana, about growing tensions within Latino evangelical and Pentecostal communities over immigration, political representation, and the public platforming of prominent evangelical leader Samuel Rodriguez. The conversation centers on the recent “We Are Not a Monolith” statement issued by Latino pastors, scholars, and ministry leaders calling for greater nuance and accountability in how Latino Christians are represented in national media. Calvillo explains why many faith leaders believe Rodriguez has come to function less as an advocate for vulnerable immigrant communities and more as a defender of Trump-era immigration policies and conservative political networks. Together, Payne and Calvillo explore how ICE raids and immigration enforcement are reshaping Latino churches across the United States, including the emergence of new theological language around persecution, sanctuary, solidarity, and resistance. They discuss the complex political diversity within Latino evangelicalism, the influence of white evangelical megachurch networks on Latino Pentecostal leaders, and the growing tensions between immigrant-majority congregations and prominent conservative evangelical institutions. The episode also examines how Latino evangelical and Pentecostal churches are responding to fear, surveillance, and political polarization in this moment, including new collaborations between immigrant churches, ecumenical groups, and unexpected community allies. Throughout the conversation, Calvillo situates current debates within a longer history of migration, marginalization, religious activism, and public theology in the United States.
