Welcome to the Plant-Based Canada Podcast! In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Amar Lalia to discuss the upcoming EAT-Lancet Commission 2.0 report on the planetary health diet. We'll explore key topics including food systems, justice, and environmental impacts, all set to be unveiled in Fall 2025.Dr. Laila is a postdoctoral fellow at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Sweden, and the University of Guelph, Canada. Amar completed his PhD at the University of Guelph, where he explored the connection between food literacy and food waste among Canadian families with young children, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods. Amar is passionate about food systems justice and his goal is to contribute to just and sustainable food system transformation through improvements in food environments so that they are healthy and sustainable for everyone.Resources:EAT-Lancet CommissionA comment paper in the Lancet referring to the EL2 commission's focus on justiceHigh Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition reportsFAO's State of food security and nutritionFood System Economics Commission (to provide exact numbers referred to in the episode discussion):The Food System Economics Commission estimates the hidden costs of global food systems at approximately $15 trillion USD per year. However, the net benefits of transforming the food system are valued between $5 to $10 trillion USD annually, which is equivalent to 4-8% of global GDP (2020).In contrast, the cost of transforming the global food system is only 0.2-0.4% of global GDP, making it clearly affordable compared to the substantial global benefits—roughly $20-40 trillion USD.For full details, check out the Executive Summary.Dr. Amar Laila's Socials:ResearchGateORCIDLinkedInPlant-Based Canada's Socials:Instagram  (@plantbasedcanadaorg)FacebookWebsite  (https://www.plantbasedcanada.org/)X / Twitter @PBC_orgBonus PromotionCheck out University of Guelph's online Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate.

Or on the types of prioritization, their strengths, pitfalls, and how EA should balance them The cause prioritization landscape in EA is changing. Prominent groups have shut down, others have been founded, and everyone is trying to figure out how to prepare for AI. This is the first in a series of posts examining the state of cause prioritization and proposing strategies for moving forward. Executive Summary Performing prioritization work has been one of the main tasks, and arguably achievements, of EA. We highlight three types of prioritization: Cause Prioritization, Within-Cause (Intervention) Prioritization, and Cross-Cause (Intervention) Prioritization. We ask how much of EA prioritization work falls in each of these categories: Our estimates suggest that, for the organizations we investigated, the current split is 89% within-cause work, 2% cross-cause, and 9% cause prioritization. We then explore strengths and potential pitfalls of each level: Cause [...] ---Outline:(00:37) Executive Summary(03:09) Introduction: Why prioritize?

When I read this quote from Nobel Laureate Herbert Simon from 1971 that “ a wealth of information would create a poverty of attention” I thought about its ramifications for presenters.  Today, we are firmly swimming against a King tide of information overload, so Simon's dystopian prophecy has come to fruition.  This is the Age of Distraction for audiences.  They are gold medal winning poor listeners and yet we have to present to them.  We know that storytelling is one sure fire way to snaffle their attention and yet that path is littered with landmines. Very few business presenters tell stories at all in their talks.  They are enamoured with their high quality content.  Which usually means the results of surveys, research or data collation.  Data is rarely strong enough to linger long in our memories.  This is  because usually there is a ton of data, each morsel, each three decimal tidbit vanquishing the one before and so on and so on, until we recall nothing, as Simon predicted.  Business presenters imagining their data is enough are fooling themselves, because their messages are not breaking through that wall of distraction and that poverty of attention.  For the few who do tell stories they are freelancing, going free style with no structure.  They just relate what happened.  What is the point of the story?  Is the delivery getting the key messages in front of the audience in a way that they will remember it?  Are the listeners seeing any relevance for themselves in this story? Where do we start with the story?  Do we get straight to the point, do we go to the key take away?  “Hey, get to the point”. We often hear this from bosses and we mistakenly follow that direction with our storytelling.  Why is it a mistake?  We have to grasp the fundamental difference between writing a report, where we start with the conclusion we have reached from our analysis, otherwise known as the “Executive Summary” and giving an oral presentation.  When we launch forth with our recommendation, we open up the flood gates of rampant critique. Many who are listening start thinking that we are wrong, have misfired with our analytical findings and have failed to account for important alternate considerations. Why do they react like that?  We have put forth our main point completely naked and unprotected, so that is all they have to go on.  In the sequence, our explanation of how we came to this conclusion follows next.  Critically, the critics are not really listening now because they are consumed by what they think is wrong with it, so the justification portion gets lost for them. We should instead begin with our context, the background which has informed our conclusion, based on the data and experiences we analysed.  We need to populate this context with people they know, places they can see in their mind's eye and lodge it in a temporal frame which the audience can process.  The genius of this approach is that while sitting there listening to us warble on, the audience are racing ahead and reaching their own conclusions about the insights to be gained from this context.  Given a certain set of circumstances, there are a limited number of conclusions to be drawn and the chances are very high, that they will have reached the same one you did. When you announce it, the listeners mentally say to themselves “that's right”.  Bingo!  Now instead of facing an audience of doubters, one uppers and thrusters, you are dealing with fans of your work.  The key is to make the insight download very concise.  When we teach this formula, invariably people want to jumble a number of insights together and run through them.  Each additional insight dilutes the power of the one before it and so on.  It is critical to select the strongest, best insight and only pull the velvet curtain back to reveal that one. The final step is to take the context and the insight and then package it up and place it on a silver tray for the audience to take home with them, when we outline the relevance to them.  Although we have produced an insight, it is an inert outcome.  What does that insight do for us, how can we use it, where will this be valuable for us, when can we apply it? When we receive the insight wisdom with that relevancy formula attached, it makes sense. We feel attending the speaker's presentation today was time well spent.  We got something worthwhile which will help us navigate the future that little bit better and more easily.   Again, this has to be done very concisely, for the same reasons discussed about explaining the insight. So the formula is context, insight and then explain the relevance.  If we mix it up we are making things hard for ourselves, so resist any calls to get to the point, by being forced to put up the insight like a sacrificial lamb about to be slaughtered.  Hold it in reserve until the scene has been set.  Sherlock Holmes and Poirot, great fictional detectives always revealed the baddie's name after giving the background of the crime.  It is a well tested, tried and true formula for storytelling, so try it.

The discussion features guests Karla Steckler Tye, CEO of Children's Advocacy Centers of Mississippi, and DiDi Ellis, CEO of Kids Hub Child Advocacy Center. Today, they share their combined 25 years of experience and innovative approaches in addressing workforce turnover and highlight Mississippi's pioneering efforts to implement Child Advocacy Studies (CAST), a program designed to prepare the next generation of professionals through interdisciplinary training and experiential learning.  The discussion emphasizes the challenges that turnover creates, especially in rural areas like Mississippi, where the loss of a key staff member can disrupt services for children in need. Both Karla and DiDi explain how CAST helps fill these gaps by ensuring that students entering the CAC field are better prepared and equipped with the skills necessary to provide comprehensive care. They also share personal anecdotes, including how CAST has transformed student interns into long-term hires, effectively reducing turnover and enhancing the quality of care. We'll also hear from a graduate of CAST who did her internship at a CAC and what she found so valuable about her experience.  The episode offers a deep dive into how intentional recruitment, training, and strategic planning are essential to sustaining the CAC workforce for the future.

I'm releasing a new paper “Superintelligence Strategy” alongside Eric Schmidt (formerly Google), and Alexandr Wang (Scale AI). Below is the executive summary, followed by additional commentary highlighting portions of the paper which might be relevant to this collection of readers. Executive SummaryRapid advances in AI are poised to reshape nearly every aspect of society. Governments see in these dual-use AI systems a means to military dominance, stoking a bitter race to maximize AI capabilities. Voluntary industry pauses or attempts to exclude government involvement cannot change this reality. These systems that can streamline research and bolster economic output can also be turned to destructive ends, enabling rogue actors to engineer bioweapons and hack critical infrastructure. “Superintelligent” AI surpassing humans in nearly every domain would amount to the most precarious technological development since the nuclear bomb. Given the stakes, superintelligence is inescapably a matter of national security, and an effective [...] ---Outline:(00:21) Executive Summary(01:14) Deterrence(02:32) Nonproliferation(03:38) Competitiveness(04:50) Additional Commentary--- First published: March 5th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/XsYQyBgm8eKjd3Sqw/on-the-rationality-of-deterring-asi --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

In today's episode, Shawn O'Malley (@shawn_OMalley_) discusses why great companies fail, as outlined by Clayton Christensen in his timeless book, The Innovator's Dilemma, which was first published in 1997. The Economist actually named it one of the six most important business books ever written. Christensen was an academic and business consultant who wrote a number of compelling books, but the Innovator's Dilemma is by far his best-known work. Christensen worked at Harvard Business School for a decade before founding a consulting firm in 2000 and a venture capital firm focused on investing in Southeast Asia in 2005.  In this episode, you'll learn how disruptive innovations shift the status quo, the difference between disruptive and sustaining innovations, why companies can seemingly do everything right and still lose out to new competition, how following logical incentives can actually lead management to disregard threats from disruptive technology, why disruptive technologies tend to emerge on the fringes of established customer demographics, and what companies can do to prepare themselves for the inevitable rise of disruptive technologies, plus so much more! Prefer to watch? Click here to watch this episode on YouTube. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 - Intro 02:11 - What is a disruptive innovation, and how it differs from sustaining innovations. 02:52 - How the “paradox” of innovation impacts industry leaders. 05:11 - Why even the best of the best companies aren't immune to disruptive innovation. 08:03 - How to think about disruptive technologies from the vantage point of a value investor. 08:55 - How Tesla disrupted the automotive industry. 13:15 - Why the fast-paced hard-drive industry is such a good case study on innovation. 21:10 - How value networks shape biases and outcomes in companies. 31:28 - What industry leaders can do to manage disruptive innovation. 36:20 - How Honda stumbled into disruptive innovation in the U.S. market. *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Introduction This episode of the InspirED SparkCast discusses the 2022 Independent School Cost-Per-Enrollment Study produced jointly by the Enrollment Management Association (EMA), the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), and National Business Officers Association (NBOA) to make informed decisions around funding and support for enrollment efforts.  [Links above lead to the study. Your school must be a member of one of the organizations to be eligible for download.] This is the Executive Summary on the NAIS website. Among the independent schools that participated in this research, enrollment costs were as follows: The median cost-per-enrollment (CPE) was $3,677 The median cost-per-inquiry (CPI) was $697 The median ROI was $7 in tuition for each dollar spent to enroll a new student in their first year Enrollment costs varied significantly across school demographics. The largest schools (those with 700+ students) had the lowest CPE of all school groups—and saw the highest return on their investment ($8.60 in tuition for each dollar spent on enrollment management in the first year of tuition). Elementary schools had the smallest cost per enrollment ($2,869 per enrollee vs. the median $3,677 per enrollee.) The median CPE for secondary schools was $5,844.   The full report contains additional data on enrollment costs sorted by school type (day/boarding), size, region, and grade levels served.    Kevin MacNeil        Kevin is the CAO and Partner of Metric Marketing. Kevin has worked with more than a hundred independent schools across North America. Exposed to nearly a decade of admissions marketing campaigns, he prides himself on helping schools make decisions based on data. He is a practiced teacher of marketing and advertising, including work with NAIS, NYSAIS, EMA, AISAP, InspirED, ISSL, CAIS.  Metric Marketing started as a web development/tech company in 1999, and Kevin joined them in 2008. During that time, the company began to transform into a digital advertising agency and then a full-service agency. In 2013, Metric started working with private schools, and by 2019, they were working with schools across North America. Kevin realized his and Metric's passion was to help schools grow.

Former Green Party MP Darleen Tana has been under investigation and public scrutiny after allegations of migrant worker exploitation emerged at E Cycles, a business owned by Tana's husband. After the allegations surfaced, Tana was dismissed from the Green Party, but maintained her innocence, saying she had limited involvement in her husband's business and that the allegations made against her were false. In response, an independent investigation into the allegations and Tana's involvement in her husband's business was launched, which the Green Party released an executive summary of last week.  For their weekly catch-up, Oto spoke to Green Party MP Ricardo Menéndez-March to discuss the executive summary, it's findings, as well as Tana's response.

Link to tool: https://parliament.rethinkpriorities.org (1 min) Introductory Video (6 min) Basic Features Video Executive Summary This post introduces Rethink Priorities' Moral Parliament Tool, which models ways an agent can make decisions about how to allocate goods in light of normative uncertainty. We treat normative uncertainty as uncertainty over worldviews. A worldview encompasses a set of normative commitments, including first-order moral theories, values, and attitudes toward risk. We represent worldviews as delegates in a moral parliament who decide on an allocation of funds to a diverse array of charitable projects. Users can configure the parliament to represent their own credences in different worldviews and choose among several procedures for finding their best all-things-considered philanthropic allocation. The relevant procedures are metanormative methods. These methods take worldviews and our credences in them as inputs and produce some action guidance as an output. Some proposed methods have taken inspiration from political or market processes involving agents [...] ---Outline:(00:24) Executive Summary(02:18) Introduction(03:47) How does it work?(04:21) Worldviews(08:07) Projects(10:45) Metanormative parliament(12:11) The Moral Parliament Tool at work(12:16) (How) do empirical assumptions matter?(12:20) Uncertainties about scale(14:13) How much does scale matter?(16:10) An example project: The Cassandra Fund(19:15) What would an EA parliament do?(19:21) Normative uncertainty among EAs(21:17) Results(24:12) Takeaways(26:40) Getting Started(27:04) AcknowledgmentsThe original text contained 9 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.

The Greens have released the Executive Summary of their report into Darleen Tana, and it's pretty clear in asserting that Tana had much more involvement with her husband's bike business than she otherwise claimed. The question now is whether or she's going to decide to stay in Parliament. Tana said in her interview with Maiki Sherman that she'd take a little bit of time before deciding whether to remain in parliament as an independent MP, but if she does decide to stay around, I think it's pretty clear the Greens have only one choice. If the party leaders believe in the integrity of the report - a report which took the best part of four months to produce - then I think they have little choice but to instigate the waka-jumping legislation which they so publicly despised, and expel Darlene Tana from Parliament. Let us not forget, the main reason the Greens opposed the waka-jumping legislation is not for situations like this. The main reason they opposed it was so that if an MP held a different position on a really important policy to that which was being whipped by their party, they could take a moral stand and dissent. This ain't that. This is not a dispute over policy. This is an MP whose colleagues they believe has not been truthful to the party. An MP who has brought the party and the caucus into disrepute. And while Darlene Tana might complain about the process of this investigation and some of the findings, her former party leader and caucus colleagues have been blunt. They want her out. This should have been a week when the Greens were laser-focused on the Government's climate plans. This week of all weeks should've been one where they represented their constituents in opposition. Instead, they're still answering questions about the character of MPs who were until very recently part of their caucus. The Greens have swallowed a rat in the past. After all, they voted to pass the waka-jumping bill into law. But I actually don't think many people would resent them if they swallowed another in this case. If Darlene Tana won't quit on her own accord, and they believe in the integrity of the report, the Greens should cop a few days of criticism for their hypocrisy, push her out, and move on.

Executive Summary Ansh, a 1-year-old Charity Entrepreneurship incubated charity, has been delivering an evidence-based, scientifically proven intervention called Kangaroo Care to low birth weight and premature babies in 2 government hospitals in India since January 2024. Ansh estimates that their programs are saving, on average, 4 lives a month per facility and a total of 98 lives per year. The cost of one life saved is approximately $2077 (current costs, not a potential estimate). Ansh is now replicating the programs in two additional hospitals, doubling their impact before the end of this year.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), neonatal conditions[1] are among the top 3 causes of death worldwide[2]. This makes neonatal mortality one of the largest-scale causes of suffering and death today. In 2022, 2.3 million babies died in the first 28 days of life (i.e. the newborn/neonatal period) (World Health Organisation, 2024). Let's compare [...] ---Outline:(00:06) Executive Summary(02:33) I.

From issues of bodily autonomy to climate change to social equality, the world is increasingly polarized, and even companies can't escape hot-button topics. While once, organizations could keep their positions on divisive issues to themselves, consumers are demanding they take sides. But should they? And how can brands weigh in without alienating the people who disagree with their stance? Assistant professor Rhia Catapano explores how businesses can navigate these polarizing topics on the latest episode of the Executive Summary. Show notes:[0:00] In 2022, Disney and the state of Florida became embroiled in a polarizing debate over the state's alleged "Don't Say Gay" bill, which Disney opposed, albeit belatedly. [0:56] Once, businesses could stay silent when hot topics arose, but today consumers are demanding they take sides. [1:32] Meet Rhia Catapano, an assistant professor at the Rotman School of management who studies consumer persuasion. [2:20] Brands most often worry about consumer boycotts when they take stances their audiences disagree with. But that worry might be misplaced. [2:49] Consumers tend to buy from companies when it's inconvenient to maintain their boycott. [3:14] We're also likely to change our memories, thinking we boycotted a product, even when we still loaded it into our carts. [6:10] And we often believe signaling our intentions to boycott is "enough," so we feel less guilty even as we're purchasing items from a brand we've said we'll avoid. [7:36] So if we're so bad at boycotting, why should businesses care? For one, the reputational hit is very real. [7:51] There are always cases where brands don't have to worry - particularly when the audience boycotting the brand isn't it's target audience. See Nike, Colin Kaepernick and the social right in the U.S. [8:31] But when the audiences align, boycotts are particularly effective in this age of social media. First, because social media makes it easier to propagate messages. [9:23] Second, social media creates a "safe space" to share polarizing opinions. [10:10] So how can companies navigate hot button issues? First, make sure you're not being a hypocrite. [10:49] Consider how you frame your stance around an issue, and what you want to achieve by making public statements. [13:08] Be real about whether you can take the heat. [13:58] And consider new audience opportunities when your values don't align with your existing customer base. "It makes the most sense for the company to stick to what are their core values and what can they do that will align with what they've done in the past and what they want to do moving forward, rather than trying to please everyone.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: On the Gladstone Report, published by Zvi on March 21, 2024 on LessWrong. Like the the government-commissioned Gladstone Report on AI itself, there are two sections here. First I cover the Gladstone Report's claims and arguments about the state of play, including what they learned talking to people inside the labs. I mostly agree with their picture and conclusions, both in terms of arguments and reported findings, however I already mostly agreed. If these arguments and this information is new to someone, and the form of a government-backed report helps them process it and take it seriously, this is good work. However, in terms of convincing an already informed skeptic, I believe this is a failure. They did not present their findings in a way that should be found convincing to the otherwise unconvinced. Second I cover the Gladstone Report's recommended courses of action. It is commendable that the report lays out a concrete, specific and highly detailed proposal. A lot of the details, and the broader outline, seem good. The compute thresholds seem too aggressive. I would suggest working to get agreement on the structure of intervention, while also talking price on the thresholds, and hopefully getting them to a better place. Executive Summary of Their Findings: Oh No According to the report, things are very much Not Great, Bob. Here is their Twitter summary thread. Edouard Harris: Here's what we've been working on for over a year: The first US government-commissioned assessment of catastrophic national security risks from AI - including systems on the path to AGI. TLDR: Things are worse than we thought. And nobody's in control. We started this work with concerns, but no preconceptions. We knew there were solid technical reasons that AI could eventually pose catastrophic risks. But we went in looking for reasons to change our minds. We found the opposite. Our overriding goal was to get to the truth. To do that, we had to do more than just speak to policy and leadership at the AI labs. We also connected with individual technical researchers, many of whom are way more concerned than their labs let on in public. Many of these folks came forward on condition of anonymity to share stories. Let me tell you some of the most insane stuff we learned. First off, inside one lab there's apparently a running joke that their security is so bad that they're doing more to accelerate the AI capabilities of US adversaries, than the adversaries themselves are. Truly crazy. But this is where we're at. It's a running joke, and also probably true, as I keep noticing. All our talk of 'but what about China' has to contend with the fact that China gets almost all its AI abilities directly from the United States. Some of it is spying. Some of it is training using our models. Some of it is seeing what is possible. Some of it is flat out open source and open model weights. But it is all on us. Needless to say, if a major lab has this kind of running joke, that is completely unacceptable, everyone involved should be at least highly ashamed of themselves. More importantly, fix it. More detail on this issue can be found in this good Time article, Employees at Top Labs Fear Safety Is an Afterthought, Report Says. Quotes there are not reassuring. In December we quietly polled a handful of frontier AI researchers and asked them: What's the chance we end up on a path to a catastrophic AI outcome, *during the year 2024?* We expected

We often reach adulthood without ever being taught how to process our emotions. But an unprocessed emotion never goes away; it simply festers and grows. Associate professor Maja Djikic joined the Executive Summary podcast to talk about how to identify if we're bad at processing our feelings, how we can get better at it, and what role organizations have in helping their leaders and teams understanding that skillset. Show notes[0:00] “A lot of discussion on managing emotions has to do with how to make emotions go away.  Usually they're seen as something negative, something you don't want to have. This is why being called emotional seems like an insult.”[0:48] Meet Maja Djikic, an associate professor at Rotman who studies adult development and authored the recently released book, The Possible Self. [1:18] If there's one thing she wants you to know about emotions, it's that an unprocessed emotion never goes away. [1:36] Emotions are tied to our goals, and when we ignore them, we might be missing out on important information that helps move our lives forward. [2:05] What is an emotion? [2:30] How are our emotions tied to our goals, and how does this present itself?[2:53] Positive emotions reinforce that things are going well. [3:10] Negative emotions might tell us something is wrong on our path to our goal. For example, fear might tell you that you're afraid of getting fired, and that your relationships with colleagues have gone amiss. [4:15] People are bad at processing and understanding their emotions. [4:25] Some of this is evolutionary – our fight or flight instinct often kicks in when we have a strong emotion. [5:07] Let's sidebar to explain the difference between processing and expressing emotions. [5:55] The other reason we're bad at processing emotions is we're likely never taught how.[6:45] The first step in processing emotions is to recognize you're bad at it and work to improve that skillset. [7:16] The second step is to recognize you're having a strong negative emotion and bring your pre-frontal cortex back online. [8:34] Step three is to identify what you're feeling and try and link it back to the goal you're trying to achieve. [10:11] Why does this matter for a workplace? Leaders who can't process emotions create toxic environments. [10:55] Learning to process feelings should be top-down. [11:17] As a leader, how can you help your team better process their emotions? [13:10] And when those around you can't or won't learn to process their emotions? “If you're in a situation where the leadership is not interested at all and processing there. So then that becomes a choice for you to stay or to leave. There's all these people around me they're doing a lot of negative expression because they're not able to process. They don't seem to be interested in anything to do with processing in education. Okay, well, how long do I want to hang out here?

In this World Shared Practice Forum Podcast, Dr. Martin Kneyber discusses the implementation of the PALICC-2 guidelines in bedside monitoring and management of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). He shares insights on how the concepts of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), driving pressure, patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI), and the use of non-invasive ventilation are translated to the bedside management of PARDS. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - Explain the concept of driving pressure and its significance in the management of pediatric acute lung injury - Identify the potential benefits and drawbacks of neuromuscular blockade in pediatric acute lung injury patients - Describe the concept of non-invasive ventilation in the management of acute respiratory failure in pediatric patients, including its potential benefits, limitations, and challenges in implementation AUTHORS Martin Kneyber MD, PhD, FCCM Chief of the Division of Paediatric Critical Care Medicine Beatrix Children's Hospital University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, the Netherlands Jeffrey Burns MD, MPH Chief and Shapiro Chair, Division of Critical Care Medicine; Executive Chair, International Health Services Senior Associate in Critical Care Medicine; Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain Medicine Boston Children's Hospital Professor of Anesthesia Harvard Medical School DATES Initial Publication Date: February 26, 2024.

A recent study from BMO found that Canadians believed they would need more than $1.7 million to comfortably retire. Yet many individuals nearing retirement have less than $100,000 saved. Why is thinking about saving - even when you have the means - such a daunting prospect? Assistant professor Avni Shah joined the Executive Summary to explain the behavioural barriers to retirement savings, and showcase some of her research into how we might overcome these blockers. Show notes[0:00] Retirement is a rich man's opportunity, and many people don't feel they'll ever have the luxury. [0:30] Meet Avni Shah, an assistant professor of marketing who studies how and why people make financial decisions. [1:14] People probably aren't saving enough for retirement, even if they understand conceptually that they need to save more. [2:08] Why? Well, we have a bias towards dealing with the needs of today…[2:35] …the future is hard to imagine… [3:07] …and it's cognitively costly to think about ephemeral things like money when it's so far into the future. [3:33] Finally, the narrative around retirement – living your best life – might not be effective for large swaths of the population. [5:35] Avni partnered with Ideas 42 and the Mexican government to help increase the rates of voluntary retirement contribution. They devised three experiments. [5:46] How the Mexican pension system works. [6:18] How does beautifying a form impact retirement savings? [8:20] To increase your desire to save, tell yourself a story about your future. [9:40] Sometimes what's requires is a shift in messaging. Instead of selling the idea of “saving for your future,” companies might want to consider selling the idea of “saving for your family's future.” [11:58] But it's important to remember that any behavioural nudge is going to be contextual, and there's no one-size-fits all approach. [12:48] Simplifying information can also backfire if the info that's left is demotivating. [13:34] And, for individuals, picturing your life in retirement can be a huge motivator for squirreling away a bit more cash. [14:06] “It makes it easier to see and it's something that is beneficial to them to say okay, that in conjunction with then making it savings automatic and can be tremendously valuable in encouraging people to save and really living in a way that they're not scared about the future.” 

In this podcast, Dr. Ally Larkin, Dr. Carol Mansfield, and Dr. Robyn Cohen discuss their experience implementing Single Maintenance and Reliever Therapy (known as "SMART" or "MART"). SMART is included in the 2020 updates to the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Asthma Management Guidelines and the 2021 updates to the Global Initiative for Asthma Strategy. In this discussion, they cover how they implemented SMART into their clinical practice, challenges they've faced making the change, how SMART has improved asthma management and control for their patients, and advice for providers seeking to implement SMART into their own practices.

The healthcare landscape is evolving, and at the center of this transformation is a renewed focus on that which should be most important: the patient and family we serve.   This podcast episode's primary theme features Carole Fisher, President of the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI), and Bill Keane, Vice President and Director of Strategy at Emergence. The conversation delves into the current state of healthcare, particularly end-of-life care, and the need for a paradigm shift in how we view and manage it.  One of the significant points highlighted in this riveting discussion is the importance of putting people before profits.  This notion should be at the heart of any healthcare discussion, but with today's challenges and pressures, non-profits are spearheading the call to return to the most important one. Recently, NPHI partnered with Emergence to publish a report titled “People Over Profits.”  The report highlighted many significant findings that have the potential to guide serious illness providers through the challenges of the future.  Here's a great quote from the Executive Summary of the report that we unpack and discuss, “Community-based mission-driven organizations can offer a new narrative of what healthcare can and should be.”  The report included a section on the identified top concerns about aging, which are critical if serious illness providers want to understand the evolving landscape, desires, and needs of those we serve.  In the last portion of the episode, Carole and Bill directly speak to hospice and palliative care leaders and their advice to them, given the findings of this groundbreaking work. Join us.  This podcast episode is not only insightful but also thought-provoking.  It offers a fresh perspective on the future of healthcare and the potential of hospice and palliative care organizations to lead the way into the future.GuestCarol FisherPresident, National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation Senior Advisor, Healthsperien Executive Coach, Speaker and Podcaster Bill KeaneVP and Director of Strategy at EmergenceHostChris ComeauxPresident / CEO of TCNhttps://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcastTeleios Collaborative Network / https://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcast
