Her research has been profiled by international news outlets including The Washington Post, The Guardian, and The Sydney Morning Herald. Her latest book is Dr. Bot: Why Doctors Can Fail Us―and How AI Could Save Lives. In this episode, we focus on Dr. Bot. We start by talking about medical error, whether doctors are essential, barriers in accessing medicine, and symptom denial. We discuss which are the better interviewers: doctors or computers. We talk about the limitations of doctors in diagnostics and treatment, and whether AI can do better. We discuss whether AI can be biased. Finally, we talk about the role that AI can play in medicine.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

The Future of Climate Action: Youth Leadership and Systems Change In this episode of Social Impact Pioneers, we explore how the next generation is reshaping climate action, social innovation and systems change—not by waiting their turn, but by leading from the front. Meet Social Impact Pioneers: Penelope Gregoriou and Muhammad Hassan Dajana. Penelope and Hassan are both World Economic Forum Global Shapers and join this conversation to share insights and experiences from Cyprus and Pakistan respectively. Penelope is a sustainability strategist and ESG expert with a sharp focus on climate finance, sustainability reporting and transformative systems change. An alumni of the UN SDG Innovator programme and a member of the World Benchmarking Alliance, she combines technical rigour with a deep commitment to centring humanity in climate policy. Hassan is a Fulbright Scholar and edtech entrepreneur scaling climate education across Pakistan. His projects—spotlighted by the UN and World Economic Forum—range from planting 10,000+ trees in urban heat zones to pioneering “green masjids” that embed environmental stewardship within religious teaching. His mission is bold: to empower 100 million learners to engage with climate justice. Together, they explore a grassroots leadership that is bold, collaborative and global in its reach. From rethinking how we measure impact to driving climate adaptation through community-led solutions, Penelope and Hassan share practical insights into how young innovators are disrupting silos, bridging sectors, and transforming moral urgency into policy reality. Listeners will discover: • How youth-led climate solutions are scaling from the ground up. • Why grassroots leadership is central to tackling systemic inaction. • How collaboration across business, civil society and government is shaping a more resilient future. If you're searching for fresh thinking on leadership, collaboration and systems change, this conversation is essential listening.

Both are co-facilitators of Deep Ecology workshops, that help reconnect us with each other and nature and heal our separation, like the compelling workshop I attended with them in Hobart Tasmania this June (you'll hear brief audio clips from that workshop of a kookaburra bird, Tema ringing bells, and my reflections after an emotional exercise). In this 56 minute interview, we describe some of my favorite workshop exercises like the council of all beings, breathing with trees, a solar system planetary walk, and the truth mandala (honouring our pain for the world). John also recites two poems by Robinson Jeffers.

Explore how neuroscience and ancient wisdom converge in corporate well‑being with Bassanti Pathak, CEO and co‑founder of NeuroVeda by Pathak Yoga. Over a decade of experience has shown her the unexpected challenges of integrating yoga into office life, from misconceptions around spirituality to real stress resilience strategies. She shares how breathwork, awareness, and tailored neurological approaches can optimize both brain and bottom line. Discover how chair yoga, meditation, and custom staff‑optimization programs deliver measurable impacts—like reduced absenteeism and boosted revenue. In this episode, you'll discover: Bassanti's journey: rebranding Pathak Yoga to NeuroVeda by Pathak Yoga to reflect the blend of neuroscience and traditional Vedic wisdom. The misconceptions she's had to dismantle—yoga as mysticism, inflexibility, or religion—and how to position it scientifically. How yoga and meditation reshape brain architecture: thickening the prefrontal cortex, enhancing functional connectivity with the amygdala, and promoting better decision‑making under stress. Practical workplace applications—from chair‑yoga for musculoskeletal relief to empathy training and breathwork for stress resilience. Real, quantifiable returns on corporate well‑being investments, including a 32% drop in absenteeism and 13% increase in revenue, and the caveats around capturing such data. Memorable Quotes: “There were many misconceptions… that it's a practice for skinny white girls, that it's not for men, that it's not for people who are inflexible… we really had to redefine what yoga was.” “We're changing the body's chemistry in order to over time change the brain's architecture… an optimized brain that is not influenced by past experiences that are unhelpful to us.” “If you do three months of yoga… that may not get rid of all your stressors… but… certain meditations can really have an effect even after ten minutes of practicing.” Bio: Bassanti is the co‑founder and CEO of NeuroVeda by Pathak Yoga, an award‑winning corporate well‑being services provider specializing in neuroscience‑informed programmes designed to optimise the workforce and bottom line. Having learned yoga from her Indian father at the age of four, and holding accolades from Delhi's International Foundation for Natural Health & Yoga, Harvard, Clark University, and Bonn University, Bassanti brings a unique blend of tradition, science and heart to the table. She's also a former Fulbright Scholar, banker, and children's TV series creator, and today stands as a leading voice in corporate well‑being.

Today we're wrapping up our special series on the intersection of positive psychology and travel, and we're doing it with one of the most inspiring voices in the field. James Pawelski is the Director of Education at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. He's also a philosopher, Fulbright Scholar, and the founding director of the Humanities and Human Flourishing Project, which explores how art, music, literature, and sacred experiences can help us live more vibrant and meaningful lives. James and I first connected through my studies at Penn, where he opened my eyes to the power of the humanities—not as subjects to study in school, but as practices that help us become more whole. In this episode, we talk about why humans have always turned to art and story, how awe and sacred moments can transform us, and why travel is such a powerful gateway to beauty, meaning, and wonder. If you've ever stood before a masterpiece, heard a piece of music that gave you chills, or felt something shift inside you while traveling, this conversation is for you.

Too often, Lean consultants and improvement practitioners have the skills and tools to create massive transformation but struggle to communicate their value in a way that resonates with executives and decision-makers. In this bonus episode, I sit down with Katie Anderson, internationally recognized leadership and Lean consultant, to talk about why positioning and language matter just as much as technical expertise. Together, we unpack the challenges practitioners face when they rely on jargon and how reframing your message in terms of outcomes, people, and business value opens doors to greater influence. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Lean practitioners often undersell their impact by focusing on tools instead of transformation How to drop jargon and speak in language executives immediately understand The power of positioning yourself as a strategic partner, not just a process expert Why “respect for people” is not just a Lean principle but a compelling value proposition Practical tips to reframe your message so it connects to both business results and human impact Why This Conversation Matters If you have ever felt frustrated that leaders do not understand what you do, this episode is for you.

Wondering if working on clarifying your brand positioning and refining your messaging creates revenue? You bet it does! If you have been thinking that working on this is a nice-to-have marketing or coaching exercise when you have more money to invest or clients... think again. Especially in today's confusing and complex market. Today we're talking about the powerful, rock-solid return on your investment of money, time and talents in elevating your positioning in the market and enhancing how you frame up, describe, pitch and price what you do with my guest Katie Anderson. She was on the show back in episode 35 over 3 years when she first became my client. When started our work together, Katie was already successful... as a Shingo Award winning author of Leading to Learn and Learning to Lead and sought-after keynote speaker. Still, despite her opportunities, she knew how she was writing and talking about what she did was holding her back from her next stage of success and impact. Can you relate to the struggle of knowing that you have so much value you create for your clients but not have the words to describe it and how it affects the results you get from your networking, the quality of offers you put in front of clients, your pricing and so much more? Can you also relate to the struggling of investing time and money in fixing this when it either seems like something you shouldn't be struggling with or soft? This is exactly what Katie, and I get into onto today's show. When you tune in, you'll hear first-hand from Katie on the powerful ROI she has gotten from not just investing in elevating her foundational brand messaging but also her approach to landing clients, her online presence and more! We chat about Katie's journey from hourly contractor to sought-after thought leader and premium brand and the lessons learned along with the way. We get into: The mindset and strategic investments the propel growth How to take advantage of the opportunities you're presented with – such as Katie's husband's job opportunity in Japan led to what much of the success Katie enjoys now Why my partnership set up approach beats contracting and sales and how it has empowered Katie to dramatically increase her impact and income The difference between endorsements and benefit-driven testimonials – and how working on Katie's has turned me into a lean evangelist The legit struggle that Katie, like many lean practitioners, had with articulating the value of what she did The powerful impact and ROI Katie got when she got clear on who she helped and more importantly the problem she solved Why you need this episode: If you struggle conveying the value of what you do in your networking, website, offers, proposals, and pricing and it's holding you back from the success and impact you want as a consultant or coach, in general or specifically in today's confusing times and want to know if it's worth your money and time to fix it, this is the episode for you. And if you're an operational excellence, lean, continuous learning practitioner – you're going to love this episode and the bonus one that Katie and I recorded that follows this one on that is specific to your messaging and positioning challenges. Where to dive in: (00:00) Elevating Brand Positioning for Revenue(06:50) Shifting Business Focus for Growth(20:15) Creating Value Through Client Collaboration(26:12) Clarifying Value and Target Audience(35:22) Transformative Value and Mindset Shift(48:46) Reigniting Purposeful Consulting Relationships(01:02:06) Empowering Consultants for Purposeful Growth(01:06:34) Improving Leader Understanding of Lean Next steps: If you're struggling like Katie was with articulating the value of what you do, here's where to start to overcome it. Pay attention to the people you're drawn to help and the problems you're motivated to solve and ask yourself some questions about why these matters to you. What do you see is possible for them that they don't see yet for themselves? What difference will that change make? And if you need someone to help you do this, book a discovery call with me here. The real value, the real ROI of doing positioning and messaging work isn't about marketing. It's about mindset and getting out of your own head and getting into the clients you want to serve. That is where the real source of clarity and confidence comes from. Head on over to my website at www.betsyjordyn.com where you'll find lots of free resources to help you take the next step. I have a free audio training on “Playing Small to Playing True”, several downloads, including a messaging guide and my discovery meeting scripts, that Katie uses to get the results she enjoys today. And of course you can learn more about my highly personalized strategic brand partnership programs. And if you're a lean practitioner – tune into the bonus episode that Katie and I recorded on the why it' so hard to get leaders to get the value of what you do and ideas on how to fix it.

Malcolm D. Purkey Born to Cockney Jewish immigrant parents who were entertainers, Malcolm Purkey  is an actor, director, playwright, influential drama lecturer, and theatre administrator.  He holds a BA and Honours from University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, an MA in Theatre Studies from the State University New York,  is a Fulbright Scholar and  he is a Graduate of the British Film School. His career and contribution to theatre is monumental. It started in the mad bohemian world of Adam Leslie. While still a student he designed and developed The Box and The Nunnery Theatres for Wits and then managed the influential Workshop 71. He surrounded himself with a group of artistic academic friends who met in a house in Junction Avenue, Parktown.  They formed the Junction Avenue Theatre Company that created politically conscious plays that had an influence on theatre in South Africa.Malcolm took a post lecturing drama at Wits (University of Witwatersrand) becoming Head of Department and an associate Professor. He was asked to assist the Market Theatre through a diffiult period and  turned it around. Malcolm has been a force in the theatre community and has had an enormous impact on hundreds of students. Elizabeth Howard, Producer and Host of the Short Fuse Podcast Elizabeth Howard is the producer and host of the Short Fuse Podcast, conversations with artists, writers, musicians, and others whose art reveals our communities through their lens and stirs us to seek change. Her articles related to communication and marketing have appeared in European Communications, Investor Relations, Law Firm Marketing & Profit Report, Communication World, The Strategist, and the New York Law Journal, among others.  Her books include Queen Anne's Lace and Wild Blackberry Pie, (Thornwillow Press, 2011), A Day with Bonefish Joe (David Godine, 2015) and Ned O'Gorman:  A Glance Back (Easton Studio Press, 2016). She leads reading groups at the Center for Fiction in Brooklyn, New York.  @elizh24 on InstagramThe Arts Fuse The Arts Fuse was established in June, 2007 as a curated, independent online arts magazine dedicated to publishing in-depth criticism, along with high quality previews, interviews, and commentaries. The publication's over 70 freelance critics (many of them with decades of experience) cover dance, film, food, literature, music, television, theater, video games, and visual arts. There is a robust readership for arts coverage that believes that culture matters.The goal of The Arts Fuse is to treat the arts seriously, to write about them in the same way that other publications cover politics, sports, and business — with professionalism, thoughtfulness, and considerable attitude. The magazine's motto, from Jonathan Swift, sums up our editorial stance: “Use the point of your pen … not the feather.” The Arts Fuse has published over 7,000 articles and receives 60,000+ visits a month. This year they are celebrating their 5th birthday, a milestone for a small, independent magazine dedicated to covering the arts.Why The Arts Fuse? Its birth was a reaction to the declining arts coverage in newspapers, magazines, radio, and television. When the number of news pages shrink in the mainstream media, attention is paid. But the continual whittling down of arts coverage has been passed over in silence. Editor-in-Chief Bill Marx started the magazine to preserve the craft of professional arts criticism online, while also looking at new and innovative ways to evolve the cultural conversation and bring together critics, readers, and artists.Serious criticism, by talking about the strengths, weaknesses, and contributions of the arts, plays an indispensable role in the cultural ecology. Smaller, newer organizations need a response. When they are ignored as they are by the mainstream media, they fail to gain an audience. And without an audience, they fold, further weakening the entire ecosystem.Assist The Arts Fuse in their  mission: to keep arts and culture hale and hearty through dialogue rather than marketing.SUBSCRIBE to the weekly e-newsletterLIKE The Arts Fuse on Facebook, FOLLOW  on TwitterHELP  The Arts Fuse thrive by providing underwriting for the magazine.

In this episode we challenge the ideas about invisibility of Asian Americans in the urban Midwest by discussing Rebecca Jo Kinney's Mapping AsiaTown Cleveland: Race and Redevelopment in the Rust Belt (Temple University Press, 2025). Mapping AsiaTown Cleveland links the contemporary development of Cleveland's “AsiaTown” to the multiple and fragmented histories of Cleveland's Asian American communities from the 1940s to present. Kinney's sharp insights include Japanese Americans who resettled from internment camps, Chinese Americans food purveyors, and Asian American community leaders who have had to fight for visibility and representation in city planning—even as the Cleveland Asian Festival is branded as a marquee “diversity” event for the city. Importantly, this book contributes to a growing field of Asian American studies in the U.S. Midwest by foregrounding the importance of region in racial formation and redevelopment as it traces the history of racial segregation and neighborhood diversity in Cleveland during the 20th and 21st centuries. Rebecca Jo Kinney is a Fulbright Scholar and an interdisciplinary teacher and scholar of American Studies and Ethnic Studies at Bowling Green State University, Ohio, USA. Dr. Kinney's award-winning first book, Beautiful Wasteland: The Rise of Detroit as America's Postindustrial Frontier argues that contemporary stories told about Detroit's potential for rise enables the erasure of white supremacist systems. Her third book, Making Home in Korea: The Transnational Lives of Adult Korean Adoptees, is based on research undertaken while she was a Fulbright Scholar in South Korea. Her research has appeared in American Quarterly, Food, Culture & Society, Verge: Studies in Global Asia, Radical History Review, Race&Class, among other journals.

What if everything you thought you knew about finding your path in life was wrong? We've all been told the same story: pick a career, follow a straight line, and check off the boxes of success. But what if that rigid path is actually what's keeping you from living a life full of meaning, joy, and purpose? In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Ryan, a Fulbright Scholar and PhD candidate from New Zealand, to talk about the myths we've been fed about happiness, potential, and purpose—and why real self-actualization isn't about reaching the top of the mountain but learning how to walk the path that's right for you. Because let's be honest—if you've ever felt like you're behind, lost, or like you missed the memo on how to “figure it all out,” you are not alone. And Ryan's journey—from a small hometown in New Zealand to the halls of Harvard—is proof that there's another way forward. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why self-actualization isn't just a buzzword—and how to define it for yourself How your “ideal self” can become a compass for making aligned, purpose-driven choices The reason most people never reach their potential (and how to avoid that trap) What elite institutions get right—and wrong—about making life-changing knowledge accessible This episode is an invitation to rethink what it really means to live a meaningful life—and how to bring big ideas back down to earth so they actually serve you.

She is coauthor of The Nocebo Effect: When Words Make You Sick. In this episode, we focus on The Nocebo Effect. We start by talking about the placebo effect and the nocebo effect. We discuss how the nocebo effect is produced psychologically, whether it is “all in the head”, how it is produced in a clinical context, how to distinguish between “real” side effects of treatments and nocebo effects, and whether words can produce harm. We also discuss whether psychotherapy is mostly placebo. Finally, we talk about the side effects and nocebo effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, nocebo effects in public health and medical ethics, and how to reduce the nocebo effect.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Joseph Torigian joins us to discuss his newly released book The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping. Dr. Torigian describes the life and struggle of Xi Zhongxun as a party official during the Cultural revolution and specifically the impact he had on the life and political views of Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Dr. Torigian notes that his book utilizes the story of Xi Zhongxun's life as a lens to better understand how the Party works and why both Xi Zhongxun and Xi Jinping believe certain values, such as those of sacrifice and suffering for the greater good, are highly important. He describes how Xi Jinping was viewed positively by his father due to the idea that his son had “eaten more bitterness” than other children, even going as far as to state that Xi Jinping had “the makings of a premier.” Dr. Torigian describes how deeply involved Xi Zhongxun was during his time in the party on the United Front, ethnic policy in Tibet and Xinjiang, and policy towards Taiwan, and how, because of his father's dedication to these issues, Xi Jinping views them as personal unfinished business. Finally, Dr. Torigian describes how Xi Zhongxun's influence on his son has left Xi Jinping with a Hobbesian view of the world and with the idea that the Party is the best tool for helping China assert its rightful place in the world and secure its inevitable march towards greatness. Dr. Torigian is a research fellow at Stanford's Hoover History Lab, an associate professor at the School of International Service at American University in Washington, and a center associate of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Previously, he was a Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton-Harvard's China and the World Program, a Postdoctoral (and Predoctoral) Fellow at Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), a Predoctoral Fellow at George Washington University's Institute for Security and Conflict Studies, an IREX scholar affiliated with the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, a Fulbright Scholar at Fudan University in Shanghai, and a research associate at the Council on Foreign Relations.

What if true happiness isn't found in material wealth but in something far more profound? In this thought-provoking episode, I spoke with Jeff Golden, author of Reclaiming the Sacred, to explore his decade-long journey of gathering wisdom from psychologists, activists, saints, and poets. Jeff shares how his diverse life roles have shaped his understanding of joy, presence, and interconnectedness. Together, we examine why happiness has declined in industrialized nations despite increasing prosperity, highlighting the vital roles of relationships, health, and self-acceptance. The discussion weaves through spiritual traditions, from Christianity to Taoism and Buddhism, offering insights on how reconnecting with nature and our inner selves can lead to deeper fulfillment. A rich and inspiring conversation that challenges societal norms and invites us to redefine what it means to truly thrive.Links Discussed in This Episode |Book: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara KingsolverBook: Sensing God: Experiencing the Divine in Nature, Food, Music, and BeautyDr. Kristin Neff - Self CompassionConnect with Jeff:Book: Reclaiming the Sacred: Healing Our Relationships with Ourselves and the WorldWebsiteJeff's Course: Reclaiming the Sacred - An Experiential 6 Week Online CourseAbout Jeff |Jeff Golden, M.Ed., was most recently a scholar-in-residence at Vassar College.
