Most conversations about “AI in Medicine” bore me. I think this is because either we lack the imagination to consider how AI will change medicine in the next decade, or we are not being specific enough about how small parts of medicine could be productively affected.Dr. Shantanu Nundy, MD, MBA, is a practicing physician whom I like to think of as a serial innovator. He is currently an advisor on artificial intelligence to the FDA in the Commissioner's Office. He has spent a great deal of time and energy thinking deeply about what AI can bring us today and in the future. I hope you enjoy this conversation. This is a public episode.

Normandy France is often synonymous with the D-Day beaches.And for good reason.But this remarkable region offers far more than its powerful World War II history. In this episode, I invite you to look beyond the shoreline and discover the quieter, richer layers of Normandy that many travelers miss.Alongside reflections on visiting the D-Day beaches — including a deeply moving guided tour that brings the history to life with care, context, and respect — I also share why Normandy's culture and landscapes left such a lasting impression on me. From creamy local cheeses and crisp apples to coastal views and rural countryside dotted with small towns, Normandy is a place that rewards those who slow down and wander a little further.This episode is about honoring history while also embracing the present-day heart of the region — its people, its flavors, and its sense of place. If you're planning a trip to France, or simply curious about what lies beyond the most well-known sites, this episode offers inspiration for traveling through Normandy in a more meaningful, connected way.Want to chat about Normandy, France?Email me at Lynne@WanderYourWay.comIn this episode:1:10: Intro & Updates6:08: Intro to Normandy France6:34: Placing Normandy France on the map8:36: Food of Normandy12:16: Places to visit and stay14:59: D-Day Beaches & surrounding areas24:49: Gold Beach & British War Memorial30:17: Moving inland: Bayeux, Espins, Clécy43:40: Falaise53:06: Final thoughts on Normandy56:57: Listener review + Wrapping it upIn this episode:Normandy France TourismWander Your WayWander Your Way AdventuresOverlord ToursVuoriFalaise CastleFalaise Memorial Museum ★ Support this podcast ★
Send us a textThis week, my guest is Tracy Hicks, a doctorally-prepared and dual-certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She also holds an MBA, which is particularly useful in her role as a CEO.Tracy is the founder of C-Trilogy Comprehensive Clinical Care and C-Trilogy Outreach, a certified community behavioral health clinic that provides mental health services, substance use support, primary care, and 24-hour crisis help.I was excited to talk with Tracy, who is an expert in the care and treatment of individuals with schizophrenia, because in my 36 years as a nurse, I have encountered only two patients with this diagnosis, both of whom were teenagers. I knew very little about the condition and was eager to learn from Tracy, and she did not disappoint.We discussed long-acting injectables as a successful treatment option, the challenges of compliance, and the management of a long-term chronic disease. We also emphasized the crucial importance of a strong support system to help patients lead meaningful lives.A recurring theme in our conversation was Tracy's passion when discussing these complex cases. This emotion stems from her lived experience, as two of her beloved family members—her father and her daughter—both have the disease. Growing up with the stigma of having a father with schizophrenia has shaped her perspective, and even though her daughter is now grown, Tracy's concerns for her never waver.Tracy's days are incredibly busy. Between practicing in the clinic, serving on multiple boards that advocate for marginalized populations, and shaping the next generation of nurses as an Associate Professor, people often ask her how she manages it all. Her answer? When you align with your purpose from God, He will guide your steps. She truly is a blessing to her community.In the five-minute snippet: Be prepared to jump!

In Part 3 of the Homeschool Reset series, we zoom out beyond curriculum and lesson plans and talk about one of the most powerful (and often overlooked) gifts of homeschooling: the ability to nurture your child as a whole, complete human being. This episode is an invitation to make intentional space for the things that help kids truly thrive: confidence, character, and connection. We'll explore: Why some of the most meaningful learning moments have nothing to do with worksheets What it really means to “respect the whole child” in your homeschool How homeschooling can become a lifestyle, not just an academic method Gentle ways to support your child's interests, confidence, and growth beyond academics Why making room for these things isn't optional. It's foundational.
The legendary Mike McCastle. Inspired by Greek mythology and the 12 labours of Hercules, Mike has achieved a world record by doing 5,804 pull-ups in a day, pulled a 5,000-pound truck across the Mojave Desert in summer, climbed a rope to the equivalent height of Mount Everest in a gym, broke a world record in an ice bath, and recently, the former US Navy SEAL pushed his body beyond every limit, covering more than 4 miles with walking lunges, breaking two world records in the process. We kick off season 7 with the Hercules theme, and as a way to help us realign and reset, this rewind with Mike is an opportunity to remind ourselves of his approach to life, recap his journey, and inspire you to tackle your own 12 labours in 2026.

What does “fiduciary” actually mean—and is it enough to protect your long-term plan? In this episode, we break down the fiduciary role, why transparency matters, and why many people eventually need more than an advisor who simply “babysits” their money. As your life gets more complex—taxes, estate planning, investments, business income, retirement distribution strategy—you need proactive guidance, not just basic oversight. If you're evaluating a financial advisor (or wondering whether your current relationship is still the right fit), this conversation will help you ask better questions, understand compensation, and spot the difference between fiduciary compliance and true strategic planning. In This Episode: 00:00 Understanding the Fiduciary Role 05:45 Navigating Complex Financial Needs 11:36 The Importance of Proactive Financial Advice 17:16 Building a Trustworthy Advisory Relationship If you want an advisor relationship that goes beyond “fiduciary” and into proactive planning, hit subscribe—and drop your biggest question in the comments so we can cover it in the next episode.

You don't need to budget to get ahead financially, you just need to change the way you think about money. In this episode of the Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, Seth Greene interviews Lisa Chastain, Money Coach, Mentor, and Unshakeable Optimist, who shares her journey from a single mom struggling in a tough spot to building a six-figure business in just 10 months. Lisa talks about how emotions drive money decisions and why addressing your unconscious beliefs around money is crucial for success. She explains why traditional budgeting doesn't work, offering a transformative approach to managing finances that starts with shifting your mindset, not restricting your spending. Key Takeaways: → How addressing emotional beliefs about money is the first step to financial success. → Why financial habits are often rooted in childhood experiences. → How it's important to uncover how early memories around money shape your decisions today. → How high net-worth individuals create and manage cash flow to allow for more freedom. → Why traditional budgeting restricts people and doesn't lead to long-term wealth. Lisa Chastain is a Personal Finance Coach with over 20 years of experience offering independent financial advice to executives, professionals, and business owners. She has been featured in Cosmopolitan, CNBC, NBC News, MSN Money, O – The Oprah Magazine, Fortune, Forbes, Business Insider, Business Newsweek, and Entrepreneur Magazine, and is one of Las Vegas Women Magazine's people to watch. A best-selling author, Lisa is also the host of the Real Money radio show on VoiceAmerica, the second-largest online radio broadcaster in the nation, with over 3 million listeners. After burning through $100,000 and nearly going completely broke, Lisa was forced to reinvent herself. Her aspiration wasn't to own a mansion or drive a Ferrari; she wanted simple things, like so many of the women she now works with, such as savings, retirement funds, and a secure future for her family. Put plainly, she didn't want to have to stress about money any longer. In 2016, Lisa applied what she had learned and launched her business as a money coach, with a mission to help women manage their finances effectively without a budget, enabling them to live their best lives. She has now helped countless clients learn how to track their expenses without budgets, invest wisely, and make informed financial decisions, enabling them to escape the financial rollercoaster and achieve long-term stability.

In this episode, I speak with Peter about his work on narcissism and its place within the broader spectrum of personality disorders. He shares that when he was in graduate school for literature, he was required to participate in a course of psychotherapy—an experience that sparked his interest in the field and eventually led him to pursue clinical training. Peter explains that he became increasingly interested in personality disorders, especially after having his own personal encounter with someone exhibiting narcissistic traits. This experience helped shape his focus in this area of study. He notes that the field of psychotherapy often views narcissism through the lens of “hurt people hurt people”—the idea that harmful behavior stems from unresolved trauma. While that framework can sometimes be useful, Peter believes it may also lead people to remain in harmful dynamics for too long because they extend too much empathy and assume the behavior is unintentional. He discusses meta-analytic research on twins showing that roughly 50% of psychological traits are heritable; in some studies, narcissistic traits have been found to be up to 79% heritable. Peter emphasizes the importance of clinicians and clients understanding that, in many cases, narcissistic individuals do know their behavior is harmful and continue it because it benefits them. This runs counter to the prevailing idea that such behavior is purely unconscious or trauma-driven. He acknowledges that this perspective is controversial and that he has received criticism for challenging long-standing therapeutic assumptions. When working with clients, Peter helps them navigate the cognitive dissonance between their painful or abusive experiences and their belief that the narcissistic individual “didn't mean it” or was simply reacting from trauma. The belief that someone is merely “wounded” and reacting can keep people in unhealthy relationships far beyond what is safe or reasonable. We also discussed the differences between narcissism and antisocial personality disorder. Peter explains that one way to determine whether a person is workable is to assess their collaborative capacity—and, importantly, for therapists not to assume there is mutual agreement on collaboration or shared responsibility. He underscores the importance of validating victims of these relational dynamics, reminding them that no matter how much self-work they do, they may not be able to improve the relationship because the problem may not be about them at all. Part of his work involves helping clients reconnect with their sense of self, especially when an invalidating environment has led them to doubt their own perceptions, question their reality, or even wonder whether they are a “good” person. Peter Salerno, PsyD, is a Doctor of Psychology, retired licensed psychotherapist, and nationally recognized expert on personality disorders and pathological relationships. Over the course of his career, he has specialized in personality disorders, family trauma, complex trauma, and pathological abuse. He was trained and qualified to administer the Hare Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL-R), the gold standard for identifying psychopathy in clinical and forensic settings. He was also a featured expert in the docuseries Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil, streaming on Hulu and Disney+. His work has always been driven by a passion for understanding the human mind and helping people make sense of some of its most challenging and misunderstood conditions. Today, he uses that expertise to help people around the world understand painful, confusing, and often manipulative relationship dynamics. While he no longer practices traditional therapy, he offers remote consultations focused on clarity, insight, and practical decision-making—not treatment.
In this vAuto podcast, vAuto's Dan Winchester highlights how appraiser Look to Book rates at some dealerships aren't as good as dealers think. Winchester details the limits of LTB as a primary measure of appraiser performance, and why two new KPIs—appraisal effectiveness and appraisal completeness—offer a better way for dealers to maximize appraisal opportunities. Hear how you can identify the inconsistencies in your appraiser performance/process your LTB doesn't capture; increase your ratio of appraisals to sales to improve your ability to acquire vehicles directly from customers; and, assess how well appraisers do the steps of your appraisal process (do they use the OBDII scanners?) you expect.
