IKEA uses an AI chatbot to automate nearly half of its customer service inquiries - you'd expect that to mean layoffs… not promotions.They've retrained 8,500 workers into higher‑value roles instead of cutting headcount. Could this become the new blueprint in a society scared for our livelihoods?Jag, Jen, Jason and Matt dive into this on Disconnected this week, where we also tackle Meta's accountability issues (and the monumental cost of avoiding it), plus the widespread community pushback on data centres.This episode of Disconnected covers:Human‑First AI vs Headcount CutsLeadership Choices as the Real AI VariableAccountability, Social Media, and Youth Mental HealthThe Physical Backlash to an Invisible TechnologyTrust as AI's Next BottleneckJag Sharma: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jagsharmahttps://www.instagram.com/jagsharma/Jen Campbell:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-m-campbell/Jason Kapadia:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonkapadia/https://www.instagram.com/jasonkapadia/Felina Tan:https://www.linkedin.com/in/felinagabrielletan/Matt Webster:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattwwebster/

A federal policy change could quietly reshape the future of the Physician Associate profession — and most clinicians don't even know it's happening.In this urgent advocacy episode, Tracy sits down with Jen Campbell, PA-C, cardiology PA, PA supervisor, and current president of the Pennsylvania Society of Physician Associates (PSPA), to break down what a proposed Department of Education rule could mean for PA students, future clinicians, and patient access to care.At the center of the issue is a redefinition of what counts as a “professional program.” If PAs are excluded from that definition, graduate loan limits could drop to $25,000 each year and a lifetime cap of $100,000, making PA school financially inaccessible for many students — especially first-generation, rural, and lower-income applicants.This isn't just a student issue. It's a workforce issue. A patient care issue. A healthcare access issue.And the most important part?There is still time to act. **Comment period ends on March 2nd**What the proposed federal rule actually says (plain-English breakdown)Why the definition of “professional degree” mattersHow loan caps could limit access to PA schoolWho will be most affected — and why that matters for patient careThe link between education access and clinician shortagesHow individual clinicians can influence policy (yes, you)Real steps you can take today to advocate for the professionIf fewer students can afford PA school → fewer clinicians graduate → patient access declines.Policies like this don't just affect training.They shape the future of healthcare delivery.If you only act on one advocacy issue this year — make it this one.Ways to help:Submit a public comment to federal regulators HERE: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/ED-2025-OPE-0944-0001 Contact your representative or senator using www.5Calls.org Educate colleagues who haven't heard about this yet - SHARE this episode widely!

They’re being targeted by investors who have figured out how to get rich by strip-mining local-news outfits. The model is simple: Gut the staff, sell the real estate, jack up subscription prices, and wring as much cash as possible out of the enterprise until eventually enough readers cancel their subscriptions that the paper folds, or is reduced to a desiccated husk of its former self,” the magazine wrote. Bottom line: I think the U-T’s journalism is worth $2,000 a year, if it were a philanthropic cause and I could afford that. We have lots of donors who make bigger contributions than that. But this is not the way and it’s hurting trust.

During this first birthday edition of the Self Care with Herbs segment, I reflect on the many and varied nourishing conversations I've had with guests over the past 12 months. I pull out common themes, from the benefits of weaving our self care around the cycles and rhythms within ourselves and the world around us to the way our self care may change depending on the stage of life we find ourselves in. I reflect on the value of nature connection, and the way that growing herbs can deepen our relationship with the plants. I share how my little herb patch has grown as a direct result of the conversations had during the podcast. I examine the way that existing in our world and the pressures placed on us by our society can be a huge barrier to prioritising ourselves and how even the common definition of self care (as spa treatment or expensive getaway) can make it difficult for many of us. I rejoice in reviewing the many deliciously nourishing self care recipes and rituals shared by guests and share stories of the connections that have been made as a result of the podcast. I hope you enjoy reflecting on the past 12 months of conversations as much as I have. My heartfelt thanks to all of my beautiful guests who have shared this journey with me.
