    Is the most effective way to understand real human behavior to simulate it first?Agility requires a willingness to test ideas that sound strange at first—like asking bots to act more human by narrowing their point of view, or treating synthetic personas as real sources of insight. But when applied correctly, this thinking unlocks entirely new ways to scale customer understanding. Today we're going to talk about how synthetic research is reshaping how we understand audiences—and how asking the right questions can make these insights feel far less synthetic and far more human. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Mike Taylor, Founder & CEO of AskRally. Mike – welcome to the show! About Mike Taylor Mike Taylor is the CEO & Co-Founder of Rally.

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have on the show: Entrepreneur, Founder and Executive Director of Relentless Hope, certified victim's advocate, force of nature, beacon of hope, survivor ally, Utah whistleblower, and relentless pursuer of truth: Cindy MetcalfAs the founder and Executive Director of Relentless Hope, an anti-ritual abuse, trafficking and SRA nonprofit based in Salt Lake City, Utah, Cindy has dedicated her life to confronting one of the darkest corners of human suffering: ritual abuse. A certified victim's advocate, survivor ally, and Utah whistleblower, she has been a tireless voice for the voiceless, working to expose networks of corruption and provide critical support to those who have endured unimaginable trauma.Cindy's journey into advocacy wasn't a straight path. With a background in marketing and advertising, she spent over a decade in the corporate world before taking time to raise her son. Her transition to nonprofit work began with volunteering at a polygamy rescue organization, where she first encountered the harrowing stories of ritual abuse survivors. These accounts, marked by physical, mental, and spiritual torture, ignited a fire in her to uncover the truth - not just within polygamous groups but across mainstream churches and institutions. “Children need to be protected. Justice must be served,” Cindy declares, a mantra that drives her mission.Under her leadership, Relentless Hope has become a lifeline for survivors, offering resources, support, and advocacy for those whose lives have been shattered by ritual abuse. Her team of passionate advocates work tirelessly on criminal and civil cases, partnering with trusted sources to secure justice and healing for clients. Cindy's approach is hands-on and fearless: she has ventured into ritual abuse sites, collecting DNA evidence, photographing hidden tunnels, and even uncovering animal bones used in satanic rituals - all to build airtight cases against perpetrators.Despite facing betrayal, disbelief, and resistance, Cindy's courage never wavers. She's built a network of trusted allies, from survivors to legislators, and inspires others to join the fight. “We know this is real,” she says, urging the world to wake up to the human rights crisis of ritual abuse. Through Relentless Hope's website (www.relentlesshope4you.org), she offers resources, support groups, and opportunities for volunteers to get involved.Cindy is more than an advocate - she's a hero, a miracle worker, and a relentless force for change. Her work is a clarion call to action, proving that one woman's bravery, armed with faith and a light that can blind any darkness, can spark a movement to heal survivors and bring justice to a world in desperate need of hope.CONNECT WITH CINDY:Website: https://relentlesshopeforyou.org/CONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationAll links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifSupport the show

    Texas surgeon Dr. Elisabeth Potter says UnitedHealthcare stopped her mid-surgery to question if the patient's procedure was necessary – despite the fact the patient was already on the operating table. Dr. Potter was even threatened with legal action after sharing her astonishing story on social media. The health insurance giant denies that it would ever ask a doctor to interrupt care. But this incident follows an alarming pattern with UnitedHealthcare. According to Daily Mail, “UnitedHealthcare has also been accused of using an AI program with a 90 percent error rate to deny claims.” “Without insurance,” the Mail says the surgery being performed by Dr. Potter “costs anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000.” The Mail also reports a spokesperson from UnitedHealthcare claimed “There are no insurance related circumstances that would require a physician to step out of surgery… We did not ask nor would ever expect a physician to interrupt patient care to answer a call.” Dr. Elisabeth Potter details UnitedHealthcare's legal threats against her for speaking out. Dr. Eric Weiss shares his pioneering work in stem cell therapy for autism, drawing from his son's journey and a suppressed CDC study showing a 1135% autism increase linked to thimerosal in vaccines. Dr. Elisabeth Potter is a board-certified plastic surgeon who earned her MD from Emory University and completed a fellowship at MD Anderson. She specializes in natural breast reconstruction, performing over 1,000 DIEP flap surgeries. Formerly a regulatory analyst of FDA law, she monitors BIA-ALCL risks. Follow at https://x.com/epottermd Dr. Eric Weiss is board-certified in plastic surgery and a leader in regenerative medicine.

    Marcy Syms became the youngest female president of a publicly traded New York Stock Exchange company when she was named to the position with her family's business in 1983. At its peak, the Syms chain of off-price, brand-name fashion stores operated 46 outlets across 16 states, generating annual sales approaching $350 million. The chain's slogan — coined by founder Sy Syms, Marcy's father — was iconic: “An educated consumer is our best customer.” While Syms was not the very first off-price fashion retailer when it opened its original store in 1959, Sy and Marcy Syms went on to define the sector and dominate it until — faced with increased competition and a soft economy — Syms filed for bankruptcy and closed its doors in 2011 after more than 50 years. Marcy shares her compelling story and the story of Syms Corporation in a new book, set for release on August 26th. The book is titled Leading with Respect: Adventures of an Off-Price Fashion Pioneer. “Respect,” as she explains on this week's podcast, is the key trait — often misunderstood — of effective leadership. Marcy is a former member of the board at Midlantic Bank and Rite Aid.

    I'm delighted to be joined by Danae Wolfe author of Grass Isn't Greener: The Everyday Conservationist's Guide to Bringing Nature to your Yard & the Founder of Chasing Bugs.Danae is a kindred spirit, someone who has loved being immersed in nature all her life, & compelled to seek ways to inspire others to overcome climate doomerism & remember to look for the joy, awe & wonder that exists outside our own back door. Danae reminds us that the small things we do matter, with 40 million acres of lawn in the USA & a higher use of pesticides per acre in domestic settings than agricultural applications, the solution & power to drive a paradigm shift in our relationship & responsibility for nature and biodiversity is truly in our own hands & closer to home than we might have imagined. This is a conversation about taking back our power, in realising that with simple steps & small changes we can create the momentum for effective change. As we remember that we are a part of nature, not apart from it & that owning land is a privilege that comes with responsibility to care for more than just ourselves & what we desire. We need to steward the land, the waters & the air, realising that what we do has an impact but that, that impact can be positive & contribute in ways that leave us & the world richer. Learn more about  DanaeDanae Wolfe is a conservation educator, award winning macro insect photographer, and author dedicated to reshaping the way we see and interact with the natural world. With over two decades of experience in conservation storytelling and insect photography, Danae's work has been featured in national media and environmental education initiatives. She is passionate about inspiring curiosity, fostering appreciation for biodiversity, and challenging traditional views of beauty in nature. Grass Isn't Greener is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of how our obsession with manicured lawns and traditional landscaping contribute to climate change and harm biodiversity - and what we can do about it. Rooted in twenty practical steps that anyone can take starting today, Grass Isn't Greener demonstrates how small changes in your yard or garden can create lasting impact for the planet: from leaving your leaves to selecting eco-friendly holiday decorations; from eliminating light pollution to attracting wildlife; from saving seeds to devoting even a small patch of lawn to native plants. With easy-to-follow advice and real-life examples it is a resource for anyone looking for little ways to make a big difference—and to have fun doing it. Website: https://www.chasingbugs.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chasingbugsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chasingbugs1/BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/chasingbugs.comSupport the showThank you for being part of this journey with me, please Subscribe so you don't miss our future episodes, leave a review & share with friends to help these messages ripple out across the world.

    Alex is a mountain goat, human powered adventurer, and galvaniser for those wishing to find themselves in the mountains. Thank you to John and Caroline Tierney for leading Alex onto our pathway, to enable us to get under the skin of how a young man who's faced bullying and prejudice for his physical conditions, has led him to lead others up into the mountain pathways for their own conquering. because I finally found a path out of this.I was able to change my whole narrativeRecently Alex, Founder of Mind Over Mountains, achieved 446. A challenge which saw him ride and run over 446 mountains in Wales and England, within 50 days to break a record, race funds for the charity and inspire others to get out in the rain and join him. We spoke about all these challenges, both personal and professional, what drives him, what he's looking to achieve, the why, and most importantly, what he's learning about himself and life along the way.We love his candid approach, not always easy when you don't yet have your own answers, and for that reason, I loved the open conversation and exploration. It's about trying to give people the tools and the confidence that they can go out on their own.But often people come to us because they've lost confidence. They've not walked for years. You'll hear the balance between wanting to explore more in my questioning, and giving space for the stories and the experiences. Definitely a further conversation to be had, as Alex opens the door to more topics and emotions. Thank you Alex, and we hope this provokes some emotions for you as you listen about the benefits of being outside whatever your age, and the very notion, that you can make a plan and achieve great things for yourself when you put your mind to it, and ‘trust the process'.Here's further details of Alex Staniforth, and of Mind Over Mountains.

    What if building a brand partnership with a major entertainment property could happen in 5 minutes instead of 6 months—and drive 10x better results? What would that change for your marketing strategy? Today I'm joined by Alan Gould, CEO of Mutual Markets. Alan is at the forefront of a major shift in digital marketing and advertising—using AI to reduce friction between brands and entertainment partners, making high-impact collaborations accessible to brands of all sizes. Mutual Markets is already working with major streamers and delivering successful partnerships, like PopCorners' Super Bowl spot with Breaking Bad and Dashlane's collaboration with NCIS. Alan's here to talk about how AI is democratizing access to branded entertainment partnerships and what that means for the future of marketing. About Alan Gould Alan Gould is a visionary leader and the Founder and Co-CEO of MutualMarkets, the world's first advanced AI powered partnerships platform that has revolutionized the digital advertising industry. MutualMarkets' goal is to provide brands with a more organic and efficient way to connect with consumers by setting new industry standards to transform how brands engage with their audiences. Alan has a long history in data, analytics, and marketing. Prior to co-founding MutualMarkets with his brother Eric Gould, Alan co-founded IAG Research, a media-measurement company created to gauge the effectiveness of ads, and sold it to Nielsen in 2008 for $250M. Alan is also co-founder of a venture capital firm called Peak Opportunity Partners and has been involved in several successful exits from companies like Maker Studios, WorkFusion, Embark Veterinary, Vizu, and early investor roles in iSport.TV, which later saw a $325M minority position from Goldman Sachs valuing the company at $750M. Under his leadership, MutualMarkets has expanded its global footprint, strengthened its portfolio, and adopted cutting-edge technologies to enhance client outcomes. Alan is passionate about fostering a culture of innovation, transparency, and collaboration, ensuring that the company remains at the forefront of the ever-evolving marketing landscape. In 2021, MutualMarkets announced its $30M raised in seed capital. In 2023, CBS' Paramount Global partnered with MutualMarkets to grow its advertising efforts. In 2024, MutualMarkets announced its latest innovation - the AI-enabled CMAU - which enhanced collaboration by empowering brands to identify and partner with TV shows and movies seamlessly.
