Podcasts about Kumar

Last time we talked about kidney xenotransplantation, we were joined by Towana Loony and Tim Andrews, who shared their personal experiences with receiving a xenotransplant. Today, two doctors who helped propel xenotransplantation forward, Dr. Vineeta Kumar and Dr. Leonardo Riella, are here to explain the science and what comes next. This episode is supported by eGenesis and United Therapeutics In this episode we heard from:  Vineeta Kumar is the lead nephrologist for UAB's Living Kidney Donor and Incompatible Kidney Transplant programs. She is an expert in kidney transplantation, living kidney donation, incompatible kidney transplant, kidney paired donation and cardiovascular outcomes after kidney transplantation. Kumar also engages in research in the prevention, treatment and prognosis of antibody mediated rejection. She has been named a "Top Doctor" by U.S. News & World Report each year since 2012. She has been lead facilitator of the UAB Schwartz Rounds since 2009, a program that brings together nurses, physicians, social workers, and other providers to discuss delivery of compassionate care. She was awarded the Brewer-Heslin Endowed Award for Professionalism in Medicine for the highly skilled and compassionate medical care she provides to her patients. Kumar was recently named "Best Educator" by the 2018, 2019 and 2020 UAB Medical School classes. She has previously served on the Education Committee for the American Society of Transplantation. Leonardo V. Riella, M.D., Ph.D. is the Harold and Ellen Danser Endowed Chair in Transplant Surgery at Harvard Medical School and the Medical Director of Kidney Transplantation at Massachusetts General Hospital. His research focuses on mechanisms of immune regulation and the development of novel therapies to promote transplant tolerance. In addressing kidney disease recurrence post-transplantation, he founded and leads the TANGO Consortium, the largest global effort dedicated to studying glomerular disease recurrence. In March 2024, Dr. Riella led the world's first successful kidney xenotransplant from a gene-edited pig into a living human. He now leads the first FDA-approved pilot study in kidney xenotransplantation and is conducting high-dimensional immune profiling studies to characterize the human xeno-immune response and guide immunosuppressive strategies.

Let's know what you liked and learnt! In the final episode of the Contra Minds Timeless Wisdom series, Swami explores a radical idea from Kumar Vembu: leadership is not a role — it is a continuous act of relevance and reinvention.From building a “zero follow-up” organisation to eliminating full-time managers, Kumar shares how frictionless customer experience begins with frictionless internal culture. Empowerment, ownership, and clarity replace hierarchy, supervision, and anxiety-driven follow-ups.Perhaps the most powerful insight - Kumar “resigns” every night as a CEO — and reappoints himself every morning. This daily reset allows him to detach from past decisions, challenge his own mindset, and ask a hard question: Will I still be relevant five years from today?This episode is not about digital transformation alone. It is about transforming how we think about leadership, employability, and courage in a rapidly changing world.5 Key TakeawaysFriction inside creates friction outside: A seamless customer experience is impossible if teams struggle with internal obstacles.Zero follow-up reduces anxiety-driven management: When ownership is clear and visibility is built into systems, constant status-checking becomes unnecessary.Managers must stay employable: Leadership that loses hands-on capability becomes fragile and often unemployable in the market.Coaches replace controllers: The future of leadership is joint work, front-loaded thinking, and mentoring — not hierarchy.Resign every night to stay relevant: Detachment from past decisions allows leaders to act on emerging realities instead of defending outdated mindsets.

How do experienced operators approach the most technically demanding aspects of Distal Venous Arterialization (DVA)? In this episode of BackTable, host Dr. Sabeen Dhand sits down with Dr. Kumar Madassery for a detailed discussion of procedural strategy, technical decision-making, and real-world troubleshooting in DVA. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Madassery walks through his approach from pre-procedure planning to final scaffolding. The conversation begins with imaging review, patient selection, and anesthesia considerations, emphasizing how preparation influences technical success. They then examine venous mapping and access strategy, with specific attention to femoral and tibial disease patterns and how these anatomic variables shape crossing techniques.This episode also covers wire and catheter selection, techniques for creating the arteriovenous anastomosis, balloon sizing, valve management, and stent scaffolding. Throughout, Dr. Madassery shares practical solutions to common access challenges and highlights decision points that can determine procedural durability. The discussion closes with reflections on clinical management, operator fatigue, and the value of professional networks when navigating complex limb salvage cases. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction03:08 - Pre-Procedure Imaging and Setup05:01 - Venous Access and Mapping07:27 - Anesthesia and Patient Preparation12:29 - Femoral and Tibial Disease Considerations23:17 - Crossing Techniques and Tools27:16 - Venous Access Challenges and Solutions35:54 - Creating the Anastomosis37:03 - Balloon Sizing and Scaffolding Techniques38:26 - Navigating Venous Access Challenges39:56 - Wire and Catheter Strategies42:08 - Dealing with Valves and Anastomosis44:16 - Proximal vs. Distal DVA Approaches47:01 - Scaffolding and Stent Techniques50:06 - Clinical Management and Case Fatigue01:01:10 - Networking and Seeking Advice01:05:41 - Concluding Thoughts and Future Directions

The Kumar sisters, 16, 14, and 12 years old, do everything together.  They eat together, they sleep together, they shower together. If one of them has to use the restroom, all three of them will line up like little ducks, and go to the restroom together.  On February 4th, 2026, all three sisters will die together. A neighbor who witnessed their deaths thinks it looked like an accident. Their parents blame the girl's addiction to their smartphones and specifically, their addiction to Korean pop-culture. The authorities don't seem to disagree, but netizens can't ignore the details slowly emerging.  Reports stating the three sisters' shared the same father and their mothers were biological sisters. Claims that all three sisters hadn't gone to school and rarely left the apartment in over two years. And apparent proof that the girls wrote of beatings in their last, 8 page letter.   Full show notes at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A spontaneous Wednesday transmission that was never supposed to happen. The moon is in Pisces. The energy is eerie. And she's angry.This is the unfiltered rant about men in backwards caps presenting "frameworks" like they invented something new, women's conferences that claim to be different but are just the same bro marketing repackaged with "hey girly" energy, and speaker applications that ask for social media follower counts. It's about being a one-line investigator in human design (perpetually curious, never satisfied, always getting nuggets), having an undefined throat that says what everyone else is thinking, and having a defined heart that gives you the confidence to actually say it—which makes you a leper.Also: why hazelnut Chobani tastes the same as sweet Chantilly (it's all emotional support creamer), why consumer packaged goods companies own all the indie brands you think are saving the environment, and why the brand name "Kumar" isn't even her name and gives her a pebble in her shoe every time she sees it. Four years ago, a spiritualist told her "you're simply Sunita." And that's the truth.This is the final transmission before going into the cave for March, April, May, June. Season 4 is wrapping. She'll be back when she's back.This episode covers:Men presenting branding frameworks like they hung the moonWomen's conferences: same wine, different bottle (not new energy)One-line investigator in human design (curiosity, market research, getting nuggets)Undefined throat + defined heart = saying what others think (and being shunned for it)Why CPG companies own all the "indie" brandsEmotional support creamer (hazelnut Chobani vs. sweet Chantilly)The brand name Kumar isn't her real name (and it bothers her)A spiritualist's prediction 4 years ago: "You're simply Sunita"Moon in Pisces, eerie energyWrapping Season 4, going into cave mode March-JuneReevaluating everything as a business ownerPerfect for:People tired of the same business coaching repackagedWomen exhausted by "girly" empowerment conferencesAnyone who's ever wanted to blow up their brandListeners who appreciate unfiltered truth-tellingBusiness owners reevaluating everything right nowKeywords: men in business coaching, women's conferences same energy, simply Sunita, undefined throat defined heart, one line investigator human design, market research curiosity, brand name identity, wrapping Season 4, going into cave, Moon in Pisces, bro marketing repackaged, speaking events follower counts, reevaluating business, truth telling hereticMentioned in This Episode:Podcast with Daniela on Tapped In Conversations (first episode of Clear Signal, on Substack with video)Clear Signal episode dropping Friday (was supposed to be Tuesday for new moon)Final transmission dropping SundayEmail list transmissionGoing into cave mode: March, April, May, JuneSpiritualist reading 4 years agoConsumer packaged goods background (2022-2023 era)Graduate school specialized in brand managementMarket research firm she used to runChobani hazelnut vs. sweet Chantilly creamer

Let's know what you liked and learnt! In this episode of the ContraMinds Timeless Wisdom series, Swami revisits his conversation with Kumar Vembu to explore how organisations can be intentionally designed to sustain employability. At the heart of the discussion is a powerful idea: culture is not an intention—it is the outcome of how work, stress, emotion, and decision-making are engineered.Drawing from his experience at GoFrugal Technologies and earlier at Zoho, Kumar explains how measuring daily happiness, building psychological safety, reducing unplanned work, and combining emotion with data can transform workplace engagement. This episode unpacks the systems, levers, and leadership behaviours that create resilient teams capable of thriving in demanding environments.5 Key Takeaways1. Culture Is Engineered, Not Announced: Organisational culture emerges from how everyday work, stress, and decisions are structured—not from vision statements.2. Happiness Is a Measurable Metric: Tracking daily emotional states reveals hidden friction and improves productivity.3. Psychological Safety Drives Engagement: Transparency, vulnerability, and admitting “I don't know” build trust and reduce stress.4. Planned Work Protects Self-Esteem: Reducing unplanned work prevents burnout and preserves employees' sense of ownership and dignity.5. Emotion First, Data Second: Feelings surface insights; data validates them—both together drive self-awareness and sustainable performance.

In this episode of the Good Leadership Podcast, host Charles Good engages in a deep conversation with Dr. Kumar Mehta about what it truly means to be exceptional in leadership and performance. They explore the systemic issues that prevent individuals from reaching their full potential, the importance of deliberate practice, and the mindset shifts necessary for long-term success. Dr. Mehta shares insights from his research on elite performers, emphasizing the significance of commitment devices, future orientation, and the necessity of a supportive environment. The discussion also touches on the stages of personal development and how to raise exceptional children by instilling a strong work ethic and the connection between effort and outcomes.TAKEAWAYSIf your career keeps running on the same habits, it's a system problem.Being good enough is no longer enough in today's world.Exceptional performance is a system you can learn, not just a talent.Deliberate practice is essential for moving from good to exceptional.Future orientation helps in making better present choices.Commitment devices can help maintain focus and effort.Cross-pollination of ideas from different fields enhances creativity.Super elite performers often have a competitive upbringing and a chip on their shoulder.Mastery is about competing with your possible best, not just personal bests.Teaching children the link between effort and outcomes fosters a strong work ethic.CHAPTERS00:00 The Path to Exceptional Leadership00:42 The Distinction Between Hard Work and Deliberate Practice03:50 The Importance of Structured Practice06:22 The Power of Commitment and Plan A09:35 Transferring Skills Across Disciplines12:52 Cross-Pollination of Ideas for Growth15:07 Harnessing Adversity for Motivation18:21 Shifting from Outcome Focus to Mastery19:54 Recognizing and Acting on Pivot Points21:30 Stages of Growth: From Personal Best to Possible Best24:00 Implementing Lessons from Elite Performers25:37 Fostering a Strong Work Ethic in Children27:18 Applying the Framework at Any Stage of Life27:40 Key Insights and Takeaways

In this episode we are joined by Dr. Sameet Kumar, a clinical psychologist and researcher, for a wide ranging conversation on how we relate to death, grief and love- both individually and collectively.We explore Dr. Kumar's work on a clinical study using psilocybin with late-stage cancer patients, and what this research reveals about fear, meaning, and psychological suffering at the end of life. We also discuss, grieving mindfully, the difference between individual and collective grief, how modern society sequesters death away from our lives and the cost of that separation.This discussion is not about quick fixes or spiritual platitudes but an honest examination of how human beings, connect, suffer and grow from loss.

Synopsis:  As the federal government's grip on power tightens, a growing movement is harnessing the power of local governments to resist authoritarianism and protect constitutional freedoms.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: There are countless strategies for resisting authoritarianism — many of which we've discussed on this program. This time, we're looking at ways to stop the MAGA Right using the power of cities and states. What's possible when people take federalism seriously and partner with state officials to protect their constitutional freedoms — and elections — from being violated by the federal government? Our guests are organizers and strategists with experience and plans for outmaneuvering MAGA at the state and municipal level. Christopher Armitage is a U.S. Air Force veteran, former law enforcement officer, writer, and founder of “The Existentialist Republic” on Substack. He is the author of a handbook on “Oppositional Federalism”. Sumathy Kumar is the Executive Director of Housing Justice for All and the New York State Tenant Bloc. She was the former Co-Chair of the NYC Democratic Socialists of America and under her leadership, NYC-DSA elected six socialist legislators to the New York State Legislature, including mayor Zohran Mamdani. From withholding federal revenue to building social housing, hear the creative ways people and local governments can turn up the heat. All that, plus a commentary from Laura.“We need to take power away from the Trump administration and from the GOP. That means taking that power and putting it locally . . . Being able to provide a good quality of life in an affordable environment for your residents is soft succession.”“Tenants are half the state in New York, they're 70% of the city . . . What I tell people is that you're not by yourself, you're with millions of other people who want this. It is scary to resist what's happening, especially when we see what ICE is doing, what the federal government is doing to people who stand up. But they are doing that because they are feeling threatened by the resistance . . .” - Sumathy KumarGuests:• Christopher Armitage: Journalist & Policy Strategist; Substack, The Existentialist Republic; Author, Oppositional Federalism• Sumathy Kumar: Executive Director, Housing Justice for All & NY State Tenant Bloc Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Healing from trauma doesn't happen only in clinical spaces. Digital spaces can also be a lifeline, as Ila Kumar explains in this visit with hosts Bridgette Stumpf and Lindsey Silverberg. A PhD candidate and research assistant in the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, Ila focuses her scholarship on non-traditional pathways that support mental health care, particularly for youth in foster care systems. “I don't necessarily see myself as someone who believes that these digital spaces will be sites of healing,” Ila says. “But I feel that the only way to try to get to that goal of digital spaces that are healing is to do so in a way that considers holistic wellbeing and centers the needs, voices, and context of those who are most impacted.”In this conversation, Ila shares her approaches to helping vulnerable kids as they navigate the foster care system. As a technology designer, she explains that centering youth voice “leads to technologies that more effectively take youth's needs, barriers, cultures concerns into account and results in technologies that are definitely more impactful, engaging, and accessible.” And she stresses the balance between leveraging tools that carry potential risks – such as augmented reality platforms that claim to make lives easier – and tools that support youth self-expression, connectedness with others, and development of their identity.Connect and Learn More☑️ Ila Kumar | LinkedIn☑️ Bridgette Stumpf | LinkedIn☑️ Lindsey Silverberg | LinkedIn ☑️ Volare | LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook☑️ TraumaTies Website | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts |

Tom Brennan, a partner at McKinsey & Company, joins Climate Rising to unpack what regenerative agriculture means in practice and why it is increasingly central to conversations about climate resilience, farm economics, and food system risk. Drawing on McKinsey's work with farmers, agribusinesses, and food companies, Tom explains how regenerative agriculture differs from more prescriptive models like organic farming, emphasizing outcomes such as soil health, reduced erosion, and long-term productivity. Across this two-part conversation, Tom explores both the foundations of regenerative agriculture and the challenges of scaling it. He discusses how farmers evaluate new practices through the lens of risk and profitability, why the benefits of regenerative practices often show up most clearly in extreme weather years, and what slows adoption despite growing interest. He also examines the role of food companies, insurers, data, and emerging technologies in lowering barriers to adoption and supporting system-level change. Part 1 focuses on defining regenerative agriculture and why it matters for farmers and climate resilience. Part 2 examines the economics, adoption barriers, and what it would take to scale regenerative agriculture across supply chains. This episode is the first in our series on Regenerative Agriculture. We also have guests such as A.J. Kumar from Indigo Ag. Visit climaterising.org to learn more.

Why does philanthropy resist risk? Ralph Lewin, Executive Director of the Peter E. Haas Jr. Family Fund, joins Glen as co-host to bust one of the biggest fake rules in philanthropy. In this episode, Ralph and Glen make the case for embracing “philanthropic reformers” (not critics!) and courageous risk-taking rather than clinging to a comfortable but broken status quo.Special guest, María Teresa Kumar, Emmy-nominated MSNBC contributor and founding president and CEO of Voto Latino, stops by to reflect on what it really means to be “American” in today's political climate. As fear-driven narratives and ICE raids targeting immigrants intensify ahead of the midterms, María Teresa reminds us why reengaging and delivering on promises made to the Latino electorate has never been more urgent.

Kumar frames the India–EU FTA as a deal India needed, not one it merely chose, arguing that with the multilateral trade system weakened, FTAs have become the practical route to secure market access and signal openness to investment. He places the EU among India's “$100 billion club” trading partners and explains why this agreement fills a gap India cannot realistically close with China, and cannot replicate with the United States in the form of a full FTA.On timing, he calls the early 2010s a missed opportunity but notes that current geopolitical conditions have raised India's value for Europe, including Europe's push to de-risk from China and the absence of an EU–U.S. FTA. A major thread is regulation: Kumar acknowledges the EU's regulatory intensity, but argues India must adapt to global technical and sanitary standards, using the agreement's timelines and technical assistance to reduce friction and help industry upgrade over time.He clarifies the trade-offs that made the deal viable: core agriculture and dairy are left out due to political sensitivities on both sides; government procurement is excluded due to India's constraints and federal realities; and investment protection and geographical indications are kept on separate tracks to avoid a more complex EU-wide ratification path. He also describes how negotiations manage domestic sensitivities through consultation with industry, transition periods, tariff-rate quotas, and product thresholds, particularly in sectors like autos, aiming to expose firms gradually to competition while pushing manufacturing to become more competitive.In closing, Kumar argues the hard work starts after signing. He stresses that Indian industry must actually use the agreement's tariff concessions, pointing to historically low utilization of FTAs—and that domestic reforms cannot be postponed if India wants the deal to deliver results. He highlights reforms in agriculture, labor implementation, power, and land acquisition, and ties this to a broader shift he sees globally: trade policy and security policy are increasingly moving into alignment, especially in a world of dual-use technology and tighter strategic partnerships.Episode ContributorsDinakar Peri is a fellow in the Security Studies program at Carnegie India.Ambassador Mohan Kumar has an outstanding career in the Indian Foreign Service lasting 36 years which culminated in his being India's Ambassador to France based in Paris.

In this episode of Absolute AppSec, hosts Ken Johnson and Seth Law interview Mohan Kumar and Naveen K Mahavisnu, the practitioner-founders of Aira Security, to explore the critical challenges of securing autonomous AI agents in 2026. The conversation centers on the industry's shift toward "agentic workflows," where AI is delegated complex tasks that require monitoring not just for access control, but for the underlying "intent" of the agent's actions. The founders explain that agents can experience "reasoning drift," taking dangerous or unintended shortcuts to complete missions, which necessitates advanced guardrails like "trajectory analysis" and human-in-the-loop interventions to ensure safety and data integrity. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the security of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), highlighting how these integration servers can be vulnerable to "shadowing attacks" and indirect prompt injections—exemplified by a real-world case where private code was exfiltrated via a public GitHub pull request. To address these gaps, the guests introduce their open-source tool, MCP Checkpoint, which allows developers to baseline their agentic configurations and detect malicious changes in third-party tooling. Throughout the discussion, the group emphasizes that as AI moves into production, security must evolve into a proactive enablement layer that understands the probabilistic and unpredictable nature of LLM reasoning.

Let's know what you liked and learnt! In this timeless conversation from 2021, Kumar Vembu reflects on how enduring organisations are built—not through control, pedigree, or process-heavy management, but through deep trust in people and an uncompromising belief in ownership. Drawing from his own journey and the early days of Zoho, he explains why academic excellence is a poor proxy for professional excellence, and how responsibility—when given early—can transform individuals into high-performing contributors.This episode unpacks what it truly means to design for ownership at scale. From trusting people from day one, to creating decision-makers instead of escalators, Kumar shares practical, culture-defining principles that help close the education–work gap and build organisations where people don't wait for permission—they take responsibility. This is a masterclass on leadership, culture, and long-term thinking.  5 Key TakeawaysTrust must come before performance:High-performing cultures are built by trusting people early—not after they've “proven” themselves.Academic success ≠ workplace effectiveness: Attitude, learning ability, empathy, and ownership matter far more than grades or fluency.Responsibility from day one accelerates growth: Treating people as professionals from their first day builds accountability faster than any training program.Ownership means solving problems, not escalating them: Mature organisations create decision-makers who bring recommendations, not just issues.Culture is shaped by daily signals, not slogans: Policies, feedback loops, retrospectives, and leadership behaviour quietly but powerfully define how people think and act.Listen to the full episode: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube
