Aging quietly shapes everything - our economies, our politics, our families, and the horizon of what nations can become. Jacob and longevity expert Dylan Livingston, founder of the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI), take a dive into the emerging science that treats aging not as fate, but as a solvable biological problem with staggering geopolitical consequences. The two explore how extending healthy human life could transform productivity, rebalance global power, upend healthcare economics, and challenge long-held assumptions about decline. At its core is a question: what happens when longevity becomes a public policy frontier, not a personal fantasy?--Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(00:21) - The Importance of Longevity(02:48) - Personal Journey into Longevity(04:48) - Historical Quest for Immortality(10:02) - Modern Longevity Science(13:13) - Challenges and Societal Implications(19:53) - A4LI's Mission and Achievements(27:38) - Policy and Future Goals(32:51) - FDA Guidance and Incentives for Therapeutics(34:01) - Supply Chain Concerns and American Manufacturing(35:32) - Political Perspectives on Longevity(37:13) - Bipartisan Efforts and Advocacy(41:55) - Challenges and Opportunities in Longevity Research(52:28) - Economic and Demographic Implications of Longevity(01:01:45) - Closing Remarks and Future Conversations--Referenced in the Show:A4LI - https://a4li.org/ --Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

In this episode of Next Up, we're joined by Darlene Lopez and Megan Martinson from Eagle Mountain–Saginaw ISD for a powerful look at how food, culture, and education intersect inside today's school nutrition programs. They share their personal journeys into the nutrition world and raise an important question: What inspires someone to choose school nutrition as a career—and how do we bring more people into this work?Darlene and Meghan walk us through their district's creative approach to menu innovation, from culturally inspired meals to fun fusion dishes like spaghetti tacos and Korean BBQ tacos. As they describe balancing flavor with regulations, we're prompted to ask: How can school menus better reflect student diversity while still meeting standards?A big part of their mission lies in nutrition education and community connection. Through newsletters, student feedback, and hands-on learning, they help kids understand why healthy eating matters. Their approach raises another question: Are we giving students a voice in shaping the foods they're served every day?The conversation also highlights their impactful partnerships—from local farms to statewide programs—and how these collaborations enrich both the menu and the community. It leads us to consider: What role should local producers and families play in the future of school meals?This episode is full of inspiration and actionable ideas for anyone passionate about child nutrition, public health, or building stronger school communities.Connect with our guests! website: https://www.emsisd.com/about-ems-isd/departments/child-nutritionConnect with us!

Summary This episode of the Boss podcast features Dr. Jennifer Whittington sharing her experience with toxic work environments and how she navigated leaving such situations. The host, Dr. Amy Vertries, introduces the podcast as focusing on lessons not taught in residency for surgeons. Dr. Whittington discusses her first job search after residency, where she was geographically limited due to custody arrangements for her daughter. She admits she made a critical mistake by not hiring a contract lawyer to review her employment agreement, which later proved to be problematic. She emphasizes the importance of having legal counsel review contracts, even if it costs around $500, as it's worth the investment to identify potential issues. Dr. Whittington highlights several red flags she missed during her job search, particularly being prevented from speaking with the previous person who held the position. She advises that if an employer discourages contact with previous employees, it's a significant warning sign. She also stresses the importance of getting specific details in writing, such as call distribution, reimbursement, block time, and research time. The conversation then shifts to Dr. Whittington's experience leaving her toxic job. She explains how she carefully planned her exit, ensuring she had credentials at another hospital before resigning, as she anticipated retaliation. She maintained professionalism throughout the difficult two-month notice period, despite facing verbal abuse and humiliation. She shares how staff members showed their support by organizing a farewell party for her despite management's disapproval. Dr. Whittington then discusses her second job, which was a positive experience. She only left this position to care for her sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer. She explains how she took trauma call to pay off her substantial legal fees ($320,000) from her divorce and custody battle, which ultimately made her a better surgeon while helping her become debt-free. Throughout her journey, Dr. Whittington emphasizes the importance of building a support network or "village." When her initial support system fell apart during her divorce, she rebuilt it with colleagues, friends, and community members. She shares emotional stories of friends who supported her during financial hardship, including a friend who traveled to visit her and treated her to simple pleasures like pedicures and ice cream when she couldn't afford groceries. Dr. Whittington concludes by discussing her current position at a hospital where she provides care to underserved populations. She expresses her passion for ensuring that patients at safety-net hospitals receive the same standard of care as those at private hospitals. She also mentions her commitment to mentoring medical students, residents, and PhD students, showing them that they can have successful careers despite personal challenges. The episode ends with Dr. Whittington advocating for subsidized childcare for surgical trainees at a national level, noting that the stress of arranging and paying for childcare can prevent surgeons from focusing on becoming the best they can be professionally. Chapters Introduction to the Boss Podcast and Topic of Toxic Jobs 00:00:00 Dr. Amy Vertries introduces the podcast, explaining that it focuses on lessons not taught in residency for surgeons. She mentions that two of their most downloaded episodes deal with leaving toxic jobs, and introduces Dr. Jennifer Whittington who will share her experience with toxic work environments and how she navigated leaving such situations. Dr. Whittington's First Job Search and Contract Mistakes 00:01:13 Dr. Whittington discusses her first job search after residency, explaining she was geographically limited due to custody arrangements for her daughter. She admits she made a critical mistake by not hiring a contract lawyer to review her employment agreement, which later proved to be problematic. A lawyer who reviewed it years later told her "no one reasonable would have allowed you to sign this." She emphasizes the importance of having legal counsel review contracts, even if it costs around $500, as it's worth the investment to identify potential issues. Red Flags in Job Interviews and Importance of Due Diligence 00:02:36 Dr. Whittington highlights several red flags she missed during her job search, particularly being prevented from speaking with the previous person who held the position. She advises that if an employer discourages contact with previous employees, it's a significant warning sign. She also stresses the importance of getting specific details in writing, such as call distribution, reimbursement, block time, and research time to avoid being "used and abused." Identifying Toxic Workplace Environments 00:09:22 Dr. Whittington describes signs of a toxic workplace, including lack of respect, being condescended to in front of team members, and feeling uncomfortable with the standard of care provided. She shares her father's advice about being able to "look at yourself in the mirror at night" and feel good about what you did that day, noting that in her toxic job, she couldn't say that about the care being provided. Transitioning Out of a Toxic Job 00:12:33 Dr. Whittington explains how she carefully planned her exit from her toxic job, ensuring she had credentials at another hospital before resigning, as she anticipated retaliation. She discusses the documentation needed when changing jobs, including licensure verification, risk management documentation, case logs, and letters of recommendation. She emphasizes the importance of having allies who can help navigate this process. Maintaining Professionalism During Resignation 00:15:21 Dr. Whittington shares how she maintained professionalism during her difficult two-month notice period, despite facing verbal abuse and humiliation. Her mantra was "I am the consummate professional," which helped her not react negatively to poor treatment. She shares how staff members showed their support by organizing a farewell party for her despite management's disapproval. Second Job Experience and Family Emergency 00:18:03 Dr. Whittington discusses her second job, which was a positive experience. She only left this position to care for her sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer. She explains how the administration was supportive and even held her position as long as possible. She helped interview her replacement and assured them it was a good practice to join. Financial Challenges and Overcoming Debt 00:24:56 Dr. Whittington reveals how she took trauma call to pay off her substantial legal fees ($320,000) from her divorce and custody battle. This experience not only helped her become debt-free but also made her a better surgeon by improving her efficiency and thoughtfulness. She explains her fear of debt stemming from her lower-middle-class upbringing as a coal miner's daughter. Building a Support Network or "Village" 00:33:10 Dr. Whittington emphasizes the importance of building a support network or "village." When her initial support system fell apart during her divorce, she rebuilt it with colleagues, friends, and community members. She shares emotional stories of friends who supported her during financial hardship, including a friend who traveled to visit her and treated her to simple pleasures like pedicures and ice cream when she couldn't afford groceries. Current Position and Future Goals 00:35:26 Dr. Whittington discusses her current position at a hospital where she provides care to underserved populations. She expresses her passion for ensuring that patients at safety-net hospitals receive the same standard of care as those at private hospitals. She also mentions her commitment to mentoring medical students, residents, and PhD students, showing them that they can have successful careers despite personal challenges. Advocacy for Childcare Support in Medical Training 00:44:10 Dr. Whittington concludes by advocating for subsidized childcare for surgical trainees at a national level. She notes that the stress of arranging and paying for childcare can prevent surgeons from focusing on becoming the best they can be professionally, and expresses her passion for finding ways to address this issue through medical organizations. Action Items Dr. Whittington advised hiring a contract lawyer to review job offers, even if it costs around $500, as it's worth the investment to identify potential issues. 00:02:52 Dr. Whittington recommended always speaking to the person who previously held the position before accepting a job offer. 00:04:07 Dr. Whittington suggested going through offer letters point by point with the hiring person, discussing call distribution, reimbursement, block time, and expectations. 00:03:28 Dr. Whittington advised securing credentials at another hospital before resigning from a toxic job if retaliation is anticipated. 00:07:14 Dr. Whittington recommended preparing a resignation letter in advance when leaving a difficult workplace situation. 00:15:36 Dr. Whittington suggested maintaining professionalism when facing verbal abuse or humiliation in the workplace by using a personal mantra like "I am the consummate professional." 00:16:15 Dr. Whittington advised personally calling patients when transitioning from one practice to another to maintain the relationship and reduce guilt. 00:21:02 Dr. Whittington advocated for exploring ways to provide subsidized childcare for surgical trainees at a national level through medical organizations. 00:44:10

Ping Wu built Google's contact center business before becoming CEO of Cresta, where he's pioneering a unique approach to contact center transformation. Rather than full automation Ping advocates a dual approach, automating what's ready while using AI to assist humans with the rest. He makes the case for an abundance mindset—imagining new customer experiences like talking to airline apps or turning synchronous interactions asynchronous. Ping breaks down the technical challenges of deploying Contact Center AI at scale, from solving latency to orchestrating 20+ models in real-time.

For Marian Villegas '23, art can be found in everything — even petroleum engineering. Raised in Tabasco, Mexico, Marian grew up inspired by her father's work in oil and gas and her own lifelong love of painting. That dual passion led her to a career in petroleum engineering — and eventually to Rice Business, where her MBA helped her grow in both her role as a senior asset manager at EDP Renewables North America and as the founder of her art studio, Mablueart.In this episode, Marian joins co-host Maya Pomroy '22 to share how she's built a career that bridges energy and art, the lessons she's carried from Tabasco to Houston, and why creativity continues to guide everything she does.Episode Guide:01:38 Growing up in Tabasco04:37 Pursuing a Career in Petroleum Engineering09:51 Transition to the United States and Career Growth14:05 Discovering and Nurturing a Passion for Art18:57 Exploring Graduate School and MBA Programs23:43 Starting Mablueart26:15 Incorporating Unique Elements Into Art33:12 Future Goals and Teaching at RiceThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:Seeing petroleum engineering as an art[6:13]: So I wanted to have a good understanding of that [petroleum engineering] from a guy who was leading an entire organization. So I went there. He was extremely nice. He saw me, he's a very sharp guy. And then the minute he saw me, he was like, “Okay, Marian, I guess those are all your questions. I'm going to just talk about petroleum engineering. You don't need to tell me questions. I will just tell you my story.” And after an hour and a half — not 15 minutes — an hour and a half, of this amazing story, I fell in love with that, the idea of being a petroleum engineer. He'd talk about, “This is art.” You know, the words, the way he was explaining that to me, like a story… for me that was a: Yes, I want something that I can feel that passionate about. For me, it's also art in a way.From oil and gas roots to pursuing art[3:59]: I grew up in this beautiful town. It's a very small town, Tabasco (Villahermosa), but it is all about oil and gas. Everybody, every single thing, is about oil and gas. So I always loved art in a way — always reading art, always painting. I have been painting my whole life in different aspects, but I never thought about that as another source of income, in a way, as a business.When art as therapy becomes a business[17:06]: Until today, it [creating art] used to be my therapy, in a way. I would work the entire week, and during the weekends I would paint full-time. And for me, that was my escape. Today it's also business. I have deliverables, I have people waiting. And my biggest fear was that, at some point, I would just stop enjoying this part of the art world because I needed to deliver. So that's why I guess it took me so long to decide to make it big, as I did not want to see this as another job. I wanted to keep painting and seeing this as my therapy, and art is always, for me, the answer. But, I did'nt want that to take away that creativity from me.Show Links: Mablueart.comThe Art of Networking with Marian Villegas – Nov. 1, 2025 at Rice UniversityTranscriptGuest Profile:Marian Villegas | LinkedIn

Have you ever struggled to be understood? Matt Maxey spent most of his childhood trying to fit into the hearing world. He went to speech therapy, avoided sign language, and thought leaving Deaf culture behind was the only way to succeed. But when he showed up at Gallaudet University — the country's only Deaf university — he suddenly found himself in a place where everyone expected him to use ASL, a language he didn't even know, and many labelled him as an outsider. Instead of giving up, Matt flipped that struggle into his purpose. He went from resisting sign language to becoming one of the most well-known ASL music interpreters in the world. As the founder of DEAFinitely Dope, he's brought hip-hop to Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences, toured with Chance the Rapper, and even interpreted at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show with Kendrick Lamar.
