In this episode of Lab Rats to Unicorns, John Flavin is joined by Jeffrey Gray, Founder & CEO of AgeTech Connect, and Dr. Daniel Cottmeyer, a physical therapist and PhD researcher at Georgia State University. Together, they explore how science, entrepreneurship, and storytelling are coming together to change the way we age. From wearable diagnostics and remote rehab to system-level thinking around healthcare access and loneliness, this conversation dives deep into one of the most human and pressing frontiers in tech: aging well. Jeff shares how personal experience led him to create AgeTech Connect, now the largest national community of agetech innovators, while Daniel unpacks the science behind joint degeneration and how companies like Arthroba are using real-time metrics to personalize therapy and improve mobility.

Tax season scams are nothing new, but David Maimon is tracking a worrying evolution. As head of Fraud Insights at SentiLink and a professor of fraud intelligence at Georgia State University, David has been studying how organised crime groups are now blending stolen identities with generative AI and deepfake technology to outpace traditional security measures. In this conversation, he explains how identities from some of the least likely victims, including death row inmates, are being exploited to open neobank accounts, set up fake businesses, and run sophisticated bust-out schemes with a low risk of detection. David breaks down how these operations work, from creating synthetic identities using stolen Social Security numbers to manufacturing convincing documents and faces that can pass liveness checks. He reveals the telltale signs his team uncovered, such as shared physical addresses, legacy email domains, and consistent digital fingerprints that point to coordinated fraud rings. With tools like DeepFaceLive, Avatarify, and cloned voices now being deployed to bypass authentication, he warns that the gap between criminal innovation and institutional defences can be as wide as 7 to 12 months. We also explore why financial institutions struggle to detect these scams early, and why layered verification, combining real-time checks with historical identity analysis, is essential. David shares the threats on the horizon, from increasingly realistic AI-generated images to voice cloning attacks, and stresses the need for both technological solutions and public awareness to slow the momentum of these schemes. Whether you work in banking, cybersecurity, or simply want to protect your own identity, this episode offers a rare look inside the tactics, tools, and vulnerabilities shaping the next wave of financial fraud. And yes, there is still time at the end for a great book recommendation and a classic Tom Petty track.

My guest today is author Jack Watts. Having written thirty-four books and screenplays, including nine biographies, six of them commissioned, he received his AB from Georgia State University, his MA in Church-State Studies from Baylor University, and all but his dissertation for a PhD from Emory University. He has co-authored his newest book along with Tom David, Jr, AN AMERICAN HERO: ONE MAN'S LEGACY OF FATHERHOOD AND FAITH.  The book pays homage to Tom Davis' father, “Jimmy” Davis, who overcame impossible odds as a child after being dumped at an orphanage by his degenerate father, who he never saw again.  Pulling himself up by the bootstraps, Jimmy got an education and then sneaked into the army underage—rising through the ranks to become a WWII decorated officer—fighting in The Battle of the Bulge. But there is so much more to the story. #veteran #fatherhood #selfmade #faith #inspiration #orphan #businessman #father #lifelessons #newbook #education

In Southwest Atlanta, students as young as five years old are learning how to imagine a future well beyond what they can see. It’s happening at the OURCHIVES Summer Camp at Imhotep Academy. Recently, Rose Scott and the “Closer Look” team visited the campus. Scott talked with students, parents and cofounders Melek Dexter and Dr. Assata Moore.

I have been a teacher for 19 years in the DeKalb County School District, with nine years in the middle school setting, teaching all sciences and ten years at the high school level, teaching general and accelerated chemistry, AP chemistry, and forensic science.

I am a firm believer in leveraging my technology expertise to support my fellow peers while developing my students' skills. I have facilitated various professional development initiatives over the past decade. I have also presented at multiple levels, including both instructional technology and educational research conferences, at the local, state, national, and international levels.   During my tenure in my local school district, I was named Star Teacher in 2019, Stephenson High School's Teacher of the Year 2023- 2024, and the DeKalb County School District's High School Teacher of the Year 2023-2024.

The Mahmoud v. Taylor case has sparked debate about the balance between parental religious freedom, the authority of school boards to establish curricula and the constitutional rights of children. In the case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a group of parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, have the right to opt their children out of classroom readings that include LGBTQ themes, citing religious objections. Tanya Monique Washington, a professor at the Center for Access to Justice and the Marjorie F. Knowles Chair in Law at Georgia State University, returned to the program to provide an analysis and break down the implications of the decision.

Recent layoff announcements at Big Four accounting, tax, and consulting firms come as the industry faces economic uncertainty and a shrinking talent pool. The accounting profession is at a crossroads as a new class of students graduate. While recent data shows heightened interest in both undergraduate and master's degree programs, the industry faces possible disruptions like workforce reductions and emerging artificial intelligence tools. Deloitte LLP announced in April it would lay off government consulting employees as the Trump administration slashed federal contracts. The firm said in a statement the personnel actions were based on its public-sector clients' "evolving needs," among other factors. PwC LLP plans to cut roughly 1,500 jobs, many in its tax and assurance practices, the firm said last month, after two years of historically low levels of turnover. The firm plans to slow down its campus recruiting and will offer fewer internships for next year. But PwC announced this week it plans to reorganize its US advisory business, doubling the number of divisions from four to eight. The move "is being approached from a position of strength," according to a statement from PwC US advisory leader Tyson Cornell. Peter Demerjian is the director of the school of accountancy at Georgia State University. Namaan Mian is the chief operating officer at Management Consulted, a professional training and coaching organization. Demerjian and Mian spoke with Bloomberg Tax reporter Jorja Siemons about the recent layoffs, the industry's embrace of AI, and potential impacts on the industry's next generation.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for April 30th Publish Date:  April 30th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, April 30th and Happy Birthday to Isiah Thomas ***04.30.25 - BIRTHDAY – ISIAH THOMAS*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Sheffield Sails to Victory in South Cobb Commission Race Murph's Restaurant to Close for Galleria Remodel, Future Uncertain Cobb EMC Directors Look Back on Scandal, Discuss Looming Term Limits All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 1: UPDATE: Sheffield Sails to Victory in South Cobb Commission Race Incumbent Commissioner Monique Sheffield secured a decisive victory over Republican challenger Matthew Hardwick, winning 64.46% of the vote to Hardwick's 35.54%, ensuring south Cobb's District 4 remains under Democratic representation. Sheffield, first elected in 2020, celebrated the win at her Mableton home and emphasized her commitment to serving all constituents, regardless of party affiliation. Her victory, alongside Democrat Erick Allen's in District 2, restores the Cobb County Commission's Democratic majority. Hardwick, the first Republican to run for the seat in years, narrowed Sheffield's early voting lead but fell short. Sheffield's next term will focus on health and wellness in her district. STORY 2: Murph's Restaurant to Close for Galleria Remodel, Future Uncertain The future of Murph’s, a restaurant and bar opened by Braves legend Dale Murphy in 2017, is uncertain as the Cobb Galleria Centre undergoes a major remodel. The Galleria’s renovation, set to begin this fall, includes demolishing the space where Murph’s is located. Initially assured they’d be part of the remodel, the Murphys were recently informed their restaurant is no longer in the plans. Despite strong community support and success, Murph’s is set to close in August. The Murphys hope to negotiate a solution in an upcoming meeting with Galleria management but are also exploring other location options near Truist Park. STORY 3: Cobb EMC Directors Look Back on Scandal, Discuss Looming Term Limits Cobb EMC has rebounded from a decade of scandal under former CEO Dwight Brown, who was accused of self-dealing and mismanagement, leaving the co-op in financial turmoil. Since then, a new board elected in 2011-2012 has transformed the organization, achieving some of the lowest electric rates in Georgia and top national reliability. However, term limits approved in 2012 mean the entire board will be replaced between 2026 and 2028, raising concerns about the loss of institutional knowledge. While directors support term limits, some suggest staggering turnover to ease transitions. The co-op remains in strong standing, with members set to elect new leadership in the coming years. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.   We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 4: UPDATE: Erick Allen Wins Cobb District 2 Seat, Restores Democratic Majority on Commission Democrat Erick Allen has won the vacant District 2 seat on the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, securing 58.6% of the vote against Republican Alicia Adams' 41.4%. Allen's victory, alongside Monique Sheffield's projected win, restores the board's Democratic majority. The District 2 seat was vacated in February after Jerica Richardson's removal due to a redistricting battle. Allen emphasized unity in his victory speech, pledging to bring the fractured district together. Adams, despite her loss, highlighted her campaign's focus on giving a voice to underrepresented constituents. Allen's leadership is expected to strengthen collaboration across the county and state levels. STORY 5: 'Apples and Dump Trucks': Cobb Schools Approves Band Loan, New Scoreboard Cobb Superintendent Chris Ragsdale defended the district’s processes after approving a $50,000 loan for Pebblebrook High School’s band uniforms and a $439,497 privately funded scoreboard for Walton High. The Pebblebrook loan, to be repaid over five years, is one of the few exceptions the district makes for extracurricular funding. Walton’s scoreboard, funded by private donations, required board approval due to its cost exceeding $200,000. Ragsdale emphasized that all projects, regardless of funding source, must follow district procedures. Board members highlighted the importance of supporting programs like Pebblebrook’s large, nationally recognized band while maintaining clear policies for funding and approvals. Break: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 6: Head of North Cobb Christian Renews 4-Year Contract Todd Clingman, head of North Cobb Christian School in Kennesaw, has renewed his contract for another four years, extending his tenure to 22 years. Clingman, who joined the 55-acre private Christian school in 2007, has been praised by Board President Todd Rainwater for his mission-driven leadership and transformative impact on the school’s community and campus. The board expressed gratitude for Clingman’s dedication to the school’s vision and values, celebrating his continued leadership as he prepares for his 18th year in the role. STORY 7: Marietta Resident Receives Outstanding Master’s Student Award Claire Warner of Marietta was honored with the Outstanding Master's Student Award from Georgia State University's College of Education & Human Development during the spring 2025 Honors Day Ceremony.
