Podcasts about Kumar

(Concluding our review of past episodes featuring the work of R. Crumb.) FLASHBACK! Tim and Kumar meet in person for the first time! This calls for a podcast, but… what to review? We discuss the movie Crumb, which features not only the expected discussion of R. Crumb's work (including an objective look at the question of whether some of the … discomforting subjects of his work should really have been published as “art”), but also a fascinating portrait of the dysfunctional family he grew up in. Then, Tim and Brandon clash over Sean Murphy's Punk Rock Jesus, in which a former Irish Republican Army member acts as a bodyguard in a reality show claiming to be creating the clone of Jesus Christ. Is it objective and well-written, or a promo brochure for atheism? (Originally published November 2, 2015)

The argument is not that every beat causes trance, or that neuroscience has proven spirits. The stronger argument is that rhythm enters the human organism through hearing, motor prediction, breath, movement, attention, emotion, expectation, culture, and social synchrony. The drum becomes powerful when sound, body, group, ritual frame, and meaning converge. These sources support the archaeology, neuroscience, EEG research, shamanic studies, possession studies, Indigenous and culturally specific drum traditions, ritual theory, placebo and meaning-response research, ceremonial magic, and modern witchcraft material used in the episode.Core Academic and Scientific SourcesHuels, Emma R., Hyoungkyu Kim, UnCheol Lee, Tirsa Bel-Bahar, Ana V. Colmenero, Alexandra Nelson, Stefanie Blain-Moraes, George A. Mashour, and Richard E. Harris. “Neural Correlates of the Shamanic State of Consciousness.” Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 15 (2021): 610466. Use for the strongest modern EEG anchor. This study used high-density EEG with shamanic practitioners and controls during rest, shamanic drumming, and classical music listening. It assessed altered-state reports alongside brain measures such as power, connectivity, signal diversity, and criticality. Use carefully: the study does not prove spirits or show that drumming mechanically causes trance in everyone. It supports the more careful claim that trained practitioners entering shamanic states with drumming show measurable brain-state differences.Gordon, Yoel, Golan Karvat, Noa Dagan, and Ayelet N. Landau. “Neural Tracking at Theta Predicts Drumming-Induced Altered States of Consciousness.” Scientific Reports 16, no. 1 (2026): Article 10204. Use for the strongest updated drumming/theta/neural-tracking source. This study tested drumming at theta, delta, and alpha-rate rhythms while recording EEG, and found that stronger rhythmic neural tracking at theta was linked to stronger altered-experience reports. Use carefully: this does not mean theta equals the spirit world or that one frequency opens a portal. The serious point is that altered experience may depend partly on how strongly the nervous system tracks rhythmic stimulation.Aparicio-Terrés, R., et al. “The Neurobiology of Altered States of Consciousness Induced by Drumming and Other Rhythmic Sound Patterns.” Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2025. Use for the newer review literature showing that rhythmic sound is now a serious altered-consciousness research topic. This supports the opening claim that modern academia is examining drumming, rhythmic sound, absorption, relaxation, cognition, and neural activity without reducing the subject to one simple “trance frequency.” The review is especially useful for framing the field as promising but still complex.Neher, Andrew. “Auditory Driving Observed with Scalp Electrodes in Normal Subjects.” Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology 13 (1961): 449–451. Use for the historical bridge between repetitive sound, EEG, auditory driving, and early scientific interest in rhythmic stimulation.Neher, Andrew. “A Physiological Explanation of Unusual Behavior in Ceremonies Involving Drums.” Human Biology 34, no. 2 (1962): 151–160. Use carefully. This is useful as an early attempt to connect ceremonial drumming and physiology, but it should be balanced with Rouget because the “drum simply causes trance” argument is too mechanical.Maurer, R., V. K. Kumar, L. Woodside, and R. J. Pekala. “Phenomenological Experience in Response to Monotonous Drumming and Hypnotizability.” American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis 40, no. 2 (1997): 130–145. Use for monotonous drumming, subjective altered experience, imagery, absorption, and hypnotizability.Maxfield, Melinda C. “Effects of Rhythmic Drumming on EEG and Subjective Experience.” PhD diss., Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 1990. Use as older supporting context on drumming, EEG, imagery, body-image changes, and subjective altered experience. Do not make this the main scientific proof; use it as background.Nozaradan, Sylvie, Isabelle Peretz, and André Mouraux. “Tagging the Neuronal Entrainment to Beat and Meter.” The Journal of Neuroscience 31, no. 28 (2011): 10234–10240. Use for EEG evidence that the brain can track beat and meter. This supports the claim that the brain does not merely hear rhythm as background sound; it can represent rhythmic structure in measurable ways.Nozaradan, Sylvie. “Exploring How Musical Rhythm Entrains Brain Activity with Electroencephalogram Frequency-Tagging.” Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B 369, no. 1658 (2014). Use as broader rhythm/EEG entrainment support. This helps explain frequency-tagging, beat tracking, meter, neural entrainment, and the measurable relationship between rhythmic structure and brain activity.Thaut, Michael H., Gerald C. McIntosh, and Volker Hoemberg. “Neurobiological Foundations of Neurologic Music Therapy: Rhythmic Entrainment and the Motor System.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2015). Use for rhythm as motor-system timing information. This supports the claim that a beat can become bodily instruction, not just sound for the ear. Especially useful when discussing rhythmic auditory stimulation, motor planning, gait, entrainment, and the auditory-motor bridge.Ross, Jessica M., John R. Iversen, and Ramesh Balasubramaniam. “Time Perception for Musical Rhythms: Sensorimotor Perspectives on Entrainment, Simulation, and Prediction.” 2022. Use for rhythm, timing, prediction, sensorimotor entrainment, and the way musical rhythm interacts with time perception.Hove, Michael J., and Jane L. Risen. “It's All in the Timing: Interpersonal Synchrony Increases Affiliation.” Social Cognition 27, no. 6 (2009): 949–960. Use for synchrony and social bonding. This helps support the group-body argument: moving or acting in time with others can increase affiliation.Wiltermuth, Scott S., and Chip Heath. “Synchrony and Cooperation.” Psychological Science 20, no. 1 (2009): 1–5. Use for the claim that synchronized movement can increase cooperation and attachment among participants.Tarr, Bronwyn, Jacques Launay, and Robin I. M. Dunbar. “Music and Social Bonding: ‘Self-Other' Merging and Neurohormonal Mechanisms.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2014): 1096. Use for music, synchrony, bonding, endorphin/social mechanisms, and why group rhythm can feel like more than private listening.Fancourt, Daisy, Rosie Perkins, Sara Ascenso, Louise Atkins, Fatima Kilfeather, and Aaron Williamon. “Effects of Group Drumming Interventions on Anxiety, Depression, Social Resilience and Inflammatory Immune Response among Mental Health Service Users.” PLOS ONE 11, no. 3 (2016): e0151136. Use for modern group-drumming research showing psychological and physiological effects, including anxiety, depression, social resilience, wellbeing, and inflammatory immune response. Use carefully: this does not make group drumming a cure-all. It supports the more grounded claim that embodied rhythm and group participation can affect mood, social connection, and body chemistry.Bittman, Barry B., et al. “Composite Effects of Group Drumming Music Therapy on Modulation of Neuroendocrine-Immune Parameters in Normal Subjects.” Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine 7, no. 1 (2001): 38–47. Use as older supporting material on group drumming and neuroendocrine-immune measures. Keep secondary.

Most property investors are panicking over tax changes, but the real shock could come when borrowing power starts collapsing faster than expected. On Property Investing Insights, hosts Phil Tarrant and Victor Kumar from Right Property Group break down the growing fallout from the federal budget and why investors may need to rethink strategy, structure, and portfolio planning. Kumar warns that while negative gearing changes have dominated headlines, the real pressure point could come from reduced lending capacity, with some banks already adjusting calculators and slashing borrowing power dramatically. The episode explores how investors may need to adapt by reassessing portfolio structure, improving cash flow, and diversifying across different property types as the market adjusts to potential policy shifts. Kumar also cautions against panic-driven decisions, arguing that strong portfolios are built on long-term fundamentals, not short-term political noise or speculation. The duo also discusses how the changing landscape could reshape the buyer's agent sector, with increased pressure likely separating experienced operators from opportunistic entrants.

FLASHBACK! Weirdo was a magazine started by R. Crumb, which featured Crumb's work alongside that of a number of other underground-type comics creators. Crumb's work from Weirdo's 28 issues was collected in 2013 as R. Crumb: The Weirdo Years, 1981-'93, released in the U.S. by Last Gasp. It features an astonishing variety of comics work, from Crumb rants and confessionals to a 1906 psychiatric report on sexual deviancy, fumetti, parodies, and more. This is a book that Deconstructing Comics can't help but review, so this week Kumar and Tim do their podcasting duty! (Originally published December 16, 2013.) R.

We sit down with marketing specialist Rahil Kumar from MiSmile Media and dentist and speaker Dr Dan Shaffer to get brutally practical about personal brand for dentists in the UK, and why it changes everything from your diary to your pricing power. If you have ever thought “posting won't really make a difference”, we challenge that comfort-zone logic and show what being visible actually does for your career. We talk about what a personal brand really is: not a logo, not a claim of being “high quality”, but the sum of every touchpoint patients experience. Dan shares how authenticity and integrity create a USP patients can feel, and why personal stories land when they are true rather than engineered for likes. We also explore the reality that most patients cannot easily judge clinical nuance, so they choose the dentist they trust, the one who communicates clearly and feels consistent online and in the practice. Then we get tactical: which platforms matter, how Instagram and Meta algorithms work, why short-form video wins attention, and what to do if you hate being on camera. We also zoom out to the in-practice details that make or break a premium brand experience, plus a case example where consistent organic social starts bringing patients in without turning on the paid ads tap.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Trong khuôn khổ chính sách "Hướng Đông" của Ấn Độ và nhằm đối phó với ảnh hưởng ngày càng tăng của Trung Quốc ở Đông Nam Á, thủ tướng Narendra Modi đã thảo luận với tổng bí thư, chủ tịch nước Tô Lâm trong chuyến thăm Ấn Độ đầu tháng 5 vừa qua về việc tăng cường hợp tác quốc phòng Ấn Độ - Việt Nam, bao gồm cả việc bán tên lửa hành trình siêu âm BrahMos cho Hà Nội.  Thương vụ bán tên lửa BrahMos cho Việt Nam cũng đã là một trong những chủ đề chính trong chuyến thăm Việt Nam của bộ trưởng Quốc Phòng Rajnath Singh trong hai ngày 18 và 19/05. Theo báo chí Ấn Độ, hai nước "đang tiến gần" đến thỏa thuận trị giá 700 triệu đôla để cung cấp tên lửa BrahMos cho Việt Nam. Các cuộc đàm phán được mô tả là đang ở giai đoạn "nâng cao" và thỏa thuận có thể sẽ được ký kết trong những tháng tới. Từ nhiều năm qua, Việt Nam đã đàm phán mua tên lửa siêu thanh BrahMos của Ấn Độ, loại tên lửa mà ít nhất 15 quốc gia khác, nhất là các nước Đông Nam Á, cũng đang quan tâm. Tuy nhiên, vì nhiều lý do, trong đó có vấn đề chuyển giao công nghệ, đàm phán giữa Hà Nội và New Delhi đã kéo dài. Tên lửa BrahMos ngày càng hấp dẫn với các nước Đông Nam Á là nhờ có hiệu năng vượt trội và khả năng chiến đấu đã được chứng minh. Lần ra mắt trên chiến trường của tên lửa siêu thanh này là trong “Chiến dịch Sindoor” vào tháng 5/2025, chiến dịch quân sự của Ấn Độ chống Pakistan sau một cuộc tấn công của phiến quân ở vùng Kashmir do Ấn Độ quản lý, khiến ít nhất 26 thường dân thiệt mạng. Các cuộc tấn công cho thấy khả năng của BrahMos xuyên thủng hệ thống phòng không chủ động .  Trên trang mạng của nhật báo Hồng Kông South China Morning Post ngày 10/05/2026, Gaurav Kumar, một nhà nghiên cứu tại một viện nghiên cứu quốc phòng của Ấn Độ, cho biết tên lửa BrahMos bay với tốc độ hơn Mach 3. Theo ông Kumar, vận tốc và độ cao tương đối thấp của BrahMos khiến “hệ thống phòng không của đối phương có rất ít thời gian phản ứng. Các hệ thống có thể theo dõi tên lửa này, nhưng việc đánh chặn vẫn cực kỳ khó khăn, đặc biệt là trong các cuộc tấn công hàng loạt.”  Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Việt ngữ ngày 14/05/2026, nghiên cứu sinh Nguyễn Thế Phương, chuyên về an ninh hàng hải và các vấn đề hải quân, Đại học New South Wales, Canberra, Úc, cho biết thêm: “BrahMos là loại tên lửa đa dụng, tức là không chỉ gắn lên xe phóng ở trên bờ, ta có thể gắn tên lửa lên máy bay chiến đấu. Triển khai máy bay đó ra ngoài bờ biển cũng tạo ra một sức ép rất lớn với đối thủ tiềm tàng, hoặc là đặt trên bờ và di chuyển tên lửa đó đến những vị trí mà mình muốn, tạo ra cái mà Việt Nam gọi là "khả năng răn đe" đối với một đối thủ tiềm tàng nào đó trong trường hợp xung đột xảy ra.  Thứ hai là tính hiện đại. Tên lửa này có tốc độ rất cao, Mach 3, tức gấp ba lần vận tốc âm thanh. Công nghệ siêu thanh này Việt Nam chưa có.  Thứ ba, quan trọng nhất, là giá thành. Các loại vũ khí tương tự của Nhật hay của Châu Âu có giá tương đối cao, trong khi BrahMos có giá tương đối thấp. Đối với các nước Đông Nam Á có nguồn lực quốc phòng không đủ mạnh, không đủ nhiều, lựa chọn này là một trong những lựa chọn “affordable”, tức là có tính kinh tế nhất, cho việc phát triển và hiện đại hóa năng lực phòng thủ không chỉ của Việt Nam, mà còn của các nước như Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, những nước đang có tranh chấp trên biển.  Thứ tư, đây là một sản phẩm quốc phòng của Ấn Độ dựa trên công nghệ của Nga. Nếu nói về một trong những loại công nghệ phòng thủ bờ biển vừa hiệu quả mà vừa rẻ tiền, đầu tiên người ta nói tới Nga. Nhưng chiến tranh Ukraina từ 2022 tới nay khiến cho việc tiếp cận công nghệ vũ khí, khí tài của Nga trên thị trường thế giới rất khó. Sản phẩm đó của Ấn Độ ngẫu nhiên trở thành lựa chọn hấp dẫn, vì đó là công nghệ Nga nhưng được làm ở Ấn Độ và được đăng ký bản quyền ở Ấn Độ, cho nên sẽ không bị những rào cản về cấm vận, hay bị các nước phương Tây để ý, giúp cho các quốc gia Đông Nam Á tiếp cận một loại công nghệ phòng thủ tốt nhưng rẻ và không vướng vào những khúc mắc liên quan tới cuộc chiến Nga - Ukraina. Xét về mặt công nghệ tên lửa hiện nay hầu như toàn bộ các quốc gia Đông Nam Á, chứ không riêng Việt Nam, đều chưa có một loại vũ khí nào có thể đối phó hiệu quả trong một cuộc chiến với Trung Quốc, đặc biệt trong bối cảnh xung đột trên các đảo đang tranh chấp ở Biển Đông, một kịch bản giả định một cuộc xâm lược từ hướng biển. Kịch bản này là một trong những kịch bản mà Việt Nam liên tục cập nhật. Về các loại vũ khí tàu chiến, ngoài Mỹ, một số nước Châu Âu và Nhật Bản, BrahMos là một lựa chọn tương đối là phù hợp, tuy không phải là phù hợp nhất, đối với các nước Đông Nam Á trong việc cải thiện năng lực phòng thủ bờ biển.” Nếu thỏa thuận được ký kết, Việt Nam sẽ trở thành quốc gia thứ ba sở hữu hệ thống tên lửa hành trình siêu thanh BrahMos, sau hợp đồng trị giá 375 triệu đô la của Philippines vào năm 2022 và thỏa thuận của Indonesia vào tháng 3/2026 để hoàn tất hợp đồng trị giá ít nhất 340 triệu đô la. Nhưng theo Nguyễn Thế Phương, có một số lý do khiến đàm phán giữa Việt Nam và Ấn Độ về mua tên lửa BrahMos kéo dài: “Thật ra hợp đồng BrahMos là hợp đồng mà Việt Nam và Ấn Độ đã đàm phán rất lâu, từ cách đây cũng khoảng 10 năm. Cho tới nay thực tế thì tỷ lệ phần trăm mà Việt Nam có thể mua BrahMos từ Ấn Độ vẫn là 50/50, chứ chưa phải là điều gì chắc chắn cả. Hai bên vẫn đang đàm phán với nhau. Có nhiều lý do khiến cho tên lửa này hấp dẫn, nhưng chưa đủ để cho đàm phán đó tiến nhanh.Thứ nhất là Việt Nam hiện đang trong quá trình xây dựng một nền công nghiệp quốc phòng lưỡng dụng, tự chủ và cho tới nay đã đạt được một số thành tựu nhất định, đặc biệt là đã tự chế tạo được loại tên lửa tạm gọi là “phòng thủ bờ biển”. Cách đây hai năm, Việt Nam cũng đã cho ra mắt một số loại tên lửa nội địa. Đây cũng là một phần khiến cho sự mặn mà của Việt Nam đối với BrahMos chưa phải là cấp thiết lắm. Thứ hai là tỷ lệ nội địa hóa của Ấn Độ đối với BrahMos chưa phải là cao. BrahMos là một dự án liên doanh hợp tác chuyển giao công nghệ giữa Ấn Độ và Nga. Ở thời điểm hiện tại, theo một số nguồn tin, tỷ lệ mà Ấn Độ nội địa hóa trong tên lửa BrahMos là vào khoảng 60 tới 70% thôi, còn 30 tới 40% còn lại thì vẫn dựa vào công nghệ của Nga. Việt Nam vẫn lo ngại là trong bối cảnh chiến tranh Nga - Ukraina hiện nay, liệu thành phẩm hoàn chỉnh BrahMos có đáp ứng đầy đủ các tiêu chuẩn kỹ, chiến thuật hay không? Hiện giờ Nga đang bị cấm vận và chính sách quốc phòng của Nga đang hướng nội, tập trung cho việc xây dựng nguồn lực cho cuộc chiến với Ukraina nhiều hơn là hợp tác với nước ngoài. Việt Nam lo ngại nếu nhập khẩu thì liệu hệ thống tên lửa đó có vận hành đúng như những gì mà Việt Nam mong muốn không? Ngoài ra còn có những điểm liên quan đến chuyển giao công nghệ nữa. Đây là một trong những điểm mà hai bên chắc đang phải tập trung đàm phán. Đối với Việt Nam hiện nay, một trong những trụ cột của chính sách phát triển quốc phòng và đặc biệt là chính sách phát triển các loại vũ khí là mong muốn được đối tác nước ngoài chuyển giao công nghệ. Việc nhập khẩu tên lửa BrahMos có một hàm ý quan trọng là liệu Ấn Độ có cho phép Việt Nam tiếp cận công nghệ động cơ đó hay không? Đây là một điểm khá là khúc mắc, bởi vì thường thì đứng về góc độ của người bán vũ khí, họ sẽ lưỡng lự và cũng rất khó khăn trong quyết định có nên chuyển giao công nghệ cho đối tác nước ngoài không.  Việt Nam hiện đang tổ chức lại lực lượng tên lửa và tăng cường hệ thống phòng không, cho nên cũng quan tâm đến các loại tên lửa khác của Ấn Độ, theo lời Nguyễn Thế Phương:  Ngoài BrahMos, có thông tin là Việt Nam cũng quan tâm đến các loại tên lửa phòng không của Ấn Độ và một số loại công nghệ tên lửa đạn đạo trong bối cảnh Việt Nam đang tái cấu trúc lại tên lửa, pháo binh thành Bộ tư lệnh Pháo binh - Tên lửa. Trong việc hiện đại hóa năng lực pháo binh cộng với các loại tên lửa đất đối đất tầm ngắn và tầm trung trong tương lai, Ấn Độ là nước có năng lực phát triển tên lửa đối đất thuộc hàng top ở châu Á. Thứ hai là về phòng không, Việt Nam cách đây khoảng một năm đã đưa ra một khái niệm “Vòm phòng không bền vững”, tương tự như "Vòm Sắt" của Israel . Nói đến vòm phòng không là nói đến các loại vũ khí liên quan tới phòng không, nhiều tầng nhiều lớp. Đây là mảng hợp tác cũng tương đối tiềm năng giữa Ấn Độ và Việt Nam. Ấn Độ đã phát triển một số loại tên lửa phòng không, mà theo quảng cáo, về mặt lý thuyết tương đối là có năng lực. Nhưng các loại tên lửa phòng không của Ấn Độ là có công nghệ của Israel.  Trong bối cảnh hiện nay, quan hệ hợp tác Việt Nam và Israel đang chậm lại, vì Israel vướng vào cuộc chiến Gaza, cuộc chiến với Iran, nguồn lực của Israel phải tập trung vào các cuộc chiến đó, khiến cho việc Việt Nam tiếp cận công nghệ của Israel cũng có vấn đề." Theo Nguyễn Thế Phương, ngoài việc mua sắm vũ khí, Việt Nam còn cần đến kinh nghiệm của Ấn Độ trong việc vận hành các loại vũ khí có công nghệ của Nga. Sau chuyến thăm của chủ tịch nước Tô Lâm, Ấn Độ cho biết sẽ tiếp tục giúp Việt Nam huấn luyện thủy thủ tàu ngầm và tiếp tục hỗ trợ Việt Nam đào tạo phi công cũng như kỹ sư vận hành các loại máy bay chiến đấu đang trong biên chế của Việt Nam là Su 27 và Su 30.

Recently on BAT BITS we talked about what went into writing the recap we see at the start of part two of many Batman episodes. Then we noticed that the recap of "The Joker Goes to School" is considerably longer than any other Season One recap. This time, we look for clues as to why this recap lasts 2 and a half minutes, when all of the others are less than 2:00! Subscribe to our Patreon for $2 a month for bi-weekly examinations of Batman 66 on BAT BITS, or, for $4 a month, get that AND our monthly discussion of silver age Batman comics, as Paul or another in our stable of co-hosts joins Tim to examine individual Batman stories from the 1950s and '60s — most recently, Tim and Kumar discussed the origin of Killer Moth from BATMAN issue 63!

After spending time in the Obama White House, Kumar Garg came away with a toolset of skills to help drive change, spotlight good ideas and scale them. Now he's applying those ideas to philanthropy. As the co-founders of Renaissance Philanthropy, Kumar and Tom Kalil have built an organization around a deceptively simple idea: What if philanthropy could help scientists, technologists, and innovators think bigger — and then actually fund the work at the scale required?Kumar and Claudia dive into:Renaissance Philanthropy's approach: time bound and thesis driven fundingHow Kumar would spend $500 million on health right nowHow public health and academics could think biggerKumar's intriguing ‘open notebook' idea:“It's very valuable to me if a researcher has the equivalent of an open notebook. These are all the ideas… Here's my active research projects. Here's all the interesting sort of experiments I've done… you can imagine then sending an agent out and read[ing] people's open notebook.. it would be a way to discover people's work.”Relevant LinksLearn more about Renaissance PhilanthropyGet info on the Big If True Science Accelerator (BITS)See a photo of Kumar's White House white board on TwitterAbout Our GuestsKumar Garg is the President at Renaissance Philanthropy.Kumar has helped to shape the science and tech landscape for almost two decades.

We sit down with Rahil Kumar from MySmile Media to unpack what organic marketing really means for UK dentists in 2026, and why the basics now decide whether patients choose you or move on within minutes.We talk funnels in plain English: every view, click, and doorstep glance sits at the top, then the journey narrows through enquiry, consultation, and attendance. From there we get specific about the points most practices miss, like lead response time, how to remove friction from booking, and why your website is not a brochure but a growth engine. Rahil shares the practical checklist he uses when auditing dental websites, including mobile-first design, loading speed, clearer calls to action, and writing that patients actually understand.The conversation also turns to the AI shift: people are using ChatGPT for everyday searches, and Google's AI Overviews are changing how patients consume information. The takeaway is not to abandon SEO, but to treat it as a long-term practice builder that earns trust and visibility over time. We finish with an organic social media plan you can stick to, why three consistent posts a week beats sporadic bursts, how to balance before-and-after content with human stories, and when TikTok is worth your energy compared with mastering Meta first.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

Fresh out of the studio, Bernard Leong sits down with Kiren Kumar, Deputy Chief Executive of the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) Singapore, for a conversation on how Singapore is building trusted AI at national scale. Kiren traces IMDA's arc from the 2018 Model AI Governance Framework to the Agentic AI framework launched at Davos this year, the four AI missions — advanced manufacturing, finance, connectivity, and healthcare — anchoring the next strategic bound, and the programs moving enterprises from pilots to production. He argues the real blocker is leadership rather than policy, that trust is Singapore's enduring competitive moat, and that the country must shift from 10% productivity gains to 10X transformation. The conversation closes with a preview of ATx Summit 2026 and what great looks like for Singapore's AI economy by the early 2030s."What would be amazing to see in Singapore is, number one, we have our large companies truly transforming themselves and becoming way bigger than they are today in the global competitive landscape—in manufacturing, in finance, in healthcare, and in connectivity. That's one. The second one is we are known globally as an economy where everybody in our workforce is AI-ready. Yeah, is AI fluent. The third thing I'm hoping to see is we have amazing AI native startups being born in our ecosystem, which are global in the niche areas that they can play in. We may not have the next OpenAI, but I'm hoping that we have a lot of new AI native technology companies that are developing products and services and solutions enabled by AI, powered by AI, transforming industries and creating a lot of growth." - Kiren Kumar Episode Highlights: [00:00] Quote of the Day by Kiren Kumar from IMDA Singapore[02:24] Origin story — Singapore, Stanford, dotcom crash[05:00] Digital economy now 19% of Singapore's GDP[08:08] Career advice — start at a startup first[09:04] IMDA's four core mandates explained[11:47] Trust as Singapore's enduring brand advantage[12:48] Co-create with industry rather than regulate[14:09] Why agentic AI changes the governance equation[15:18] Pilots versus production — the hard transition[17:18] Forward deployed engineers as scarce commodity[18:55] Why agentic AI needed a separate framework[20:23] SME AI adoption tripled in a single year[21:36] From 10% productivity to 10X transformation[24:20] SME Go Digital — 100,000 SMEs in ten years[25:40] Leadership, not policy, is the real blocker[30:46] National AI Impact Program upskills 100,000[34:50] Four missions — manufacturing, finance, connectivity, healthcare[35:49] Owning the global AI standards layer[38:01] ATx Summit 2026 themes and headliners[41:07] What Singapore must get right by 2030[42:05] AI is a contact sport — just start[44:36] What great looks like — companies, workforce, startups[46:52] ClosingProfile: Kiren Kumar, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Infocomm Media Development Authority (or IMDA), Singapore (LinkedIn) Podcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the Analyse Podcast show.

What does it take to build a company that industry giants want to buy?Poojan Kumar built and exited two enterprise infrastructure companies, PernixData to Nutanix and Clumio to Commvault.He began his career at Oracle, where he wrote the original code for Exadata and helped scale it into a billion-dollar product line. But his real founder journey began when he left the corporate world to chase what he calls the “Discontinuity Thesis.”At PernixData, that discontinuity was the shift from hard disks to flash storage. The company scaled to $25 million in revenue before being acquired by Nutanix. At Clumio, the discontinuity was public cloud. Clumio went on to raise $186 million to build a cloud-native backup and cyber resilience platform before being acquired by Commvault, where Poojan now serves as GM of the business line.If you want to understand how enduring enterprise companies are actually built and acquired this episode is for you.0:00 - Trailer0:48 - 25 Years in Enterprise03:02 - Founders Should Look for Discontinuity04:25 - $25M ARR, $60M Funding & an Exit in 6 Years06:28 - The Thesis Behind Clumio's Acquisition07:36 - The Landscape of Data Backup09:08 - What Should Founders in Security & Data Build?11:48 - Cloud vs AI: The New Data & Storage Stack13:59 - The Unanswered Questions Enterprises Have Today16:38 - How Infra Changed Between Pernix, Clumio & Today18:31 - Scaling to $25M Before Acquisition, Twice20:43 - Why is AI Adoption Bottom-Up, Not Top-Down?21:26 - Claude vs Codex vs Copilot22:34 - When Cloud Outgrew the Backup Playbook25:41 - Are Fragmented Clouds Silent Killers?28:06 - Fundraising Takes You from Point A to Point B32:29 - Selling to Commvault vs Nutanix34:33 - What Leads to an 8-Figure Exit?36:55 - How a Technical Founder Excelled at Sales-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Kumar Garg, President of Renaissance Philanthropy, rejoins host Mike Palmer for his third appearance on Trending in Ed, earning his highly coveted refrigerator magnet. Kumar discusses RenPhil's growth and its mission to help donors invest effectively in science and technology research areas like AI, climate, and education. Big If True: The conversation explores the concept of "Big If True" and the Big If True Science (BITS) accelerator. This framework focuses on transformative ideas that can have a tangible impact on a field within a three to five-year timeline. Rather than funding incremental research, BITS encourages researchers to identify the biggest goals that would make a real difference in the world if achieved. LEVI Literacy Initiative: A major focus of the episode is the Learning Engineering Virtual Institute (LEVI) Literacy Initiative. This $100 million program aims to cut the number of struggling early readers in half within the school districts where it operates. Kumar explains how improved AI diagnostics can identify speech impediments and learning disabilities much earlier than current methods, allowing for intervention before students fall behind in the third grade. A key technical challenge involves improving Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) for children. Current models are significantly less accurate for younger voices and noisy classrooms compared to adult speech. By building better datasets and benchmarks, researchers can create AI tools that serve as screeners to help speech pathologists and educators provide more tailored services early on, to ensure kids are on track by key 3rd grade literacy milestones. Learning Engineering: The episode also covers learning engineering, a field that treats the act of instruction as a systems-level challenge. Kumar highlights the dynamic dosing model from Carnegie Mellon, which combines human tutoring with digital AI tools to provide personalized learning. This hybrid approach allows students to advance at their own pace while keeping a human instructor available to manage motivation and technical hurdles.

In their years of podcasting about Batman 66, Tim and Paul have covered a number of parodies and ripoffs of the show, from MAD magazine to Batfink. But a listener has informed them of another one, b from the March 1988 issue of Cracked magazine. Even more than a year out from the 1st Michael Keaton Batman movie, interest was running high with still very little known about the film, so cast reunions and flashbacks to the '66 show were numerous.

What if your stress isn't just affecting your mood—but quietly shortening your life and weakening your decisions? In this episode, Santosh Kumar reveals how managing your heart rate and releasing stress can unlock clearer thinking, better leadership, and a longer life.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Santosh Kumar discuss: The concept of a lifetime “heart rate budget” and how it affects longevity The difference between physical stress and emotional stress How calmness directly impacts decision-making and leadership effectiveness The role of wearable technology in tracking stress and improving self-awareness Practical ways to release stress and prevent long-term health and performance decline   Key Takeaways: Leaders can improve both longevity and performance by managing how they “spend” their heart rate budget and investing in habits like exercise. Unreleased emotional stress is more harmful than physical exertion because the body generates energy that isn't used. Calmness improves decision-making, while stress narrows thinking and drives short-term, reactive choices. Simple actions like movement or breathing can release stress in real time and restore clarity. Wearable tools can build awareness of stress patterns today, while team-level stress visibility is feasible but not yet released.   "You don't get to control what is your budget, but you get to control how you spend that budget.” — Santosh Kumar   About Santosh Kumar: Santosh Kumar is the Lillian & Morrie Moss Chair of Excellence Professor in Computer Science at the University of Memphis and CEO & Cofounder of CuesHub. He is also Director of NIH-funded national research centers in Wearable AI called the mDOT Center and the MD2K Center of Excellence. He has been recognized as America's Ten Most Brilliant Scientists by Popular Science magazine, has been invited to give a talk on the Future of Biosensors at the White House, and has received the Distinguished Alumni Award from The Ohio State University.   Connect with Santosh Kumar:   Website: https://cueshub.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/santoshkumar4/       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Colon cancer is no longer just a concern for older adults. More and more younger people are being diagnosed — often at later stages. In this episode, I sit down with board-certified medical oncologist Dr. Avishek Kumar to talk about why this shift is happening and what people need to start paying attention to. We explore how symptoms are often dismissed or misdiagnosed, the patterns he's seeing firsthand, and the critical warning signs that should never be ignored. This is a conversation about awareness, advocacy, and learning how to listen to your body before small signals become bigger concerns. In this episode, we discuss: Why colon cancer is increasing in younger adults The "too young" mindset that delays diagnosis Symptoms that are often overlooked or minimized The importance of early detection How to start advocating for your health If something feels off in your body, it's worth paying attention to.

Episode 196: New York Mythological by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas   This month's dead pilot, kicking off the 2026 MaxFunDrive, is New York Mythological, written by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas. Best known as the co-creators and showrunners of How I Met Your Mother, Carter and Craig previously wrote for The Late Show with David Letterman and produced American Dad. Carter is the author of the novel The Mutual Friend, Craig wrote the novel That's Not How It Happened, and together they're also members of the band The Solids. Craig also recently launched the How We Made Your Mother rewatch podcast. To celebrate the MaxFunDrive, Dead Pilots Society is featuring not one, but two pilots from Carter and Craig this month.   The log line for New York Mythological - A new arrival joins the team at a museum devoted to exploring supernatural and paranormal phenomena in New York City. With kind of a How I Met Your Mother meets Ghostbusters feel, the pilot features a fantastic cast featuring Isabella Gomez (One Day at a Time, Shrinking), Devon Bostick (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Crime 101), Alyssa Limperis (What We Do In the Shadows), Josh Fadem (The Lowdown; American Dad), Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar, Industry) Cyrina Fiallo (HIgh Potential, 911 Lonestar), Tami Sagher (Inside Amy Schumer)   It's MaxFunDrive season, which means celebrating the listeners who make Dead Pilots Society possible. The show is supported by MaxFun members contributing $5 a month or more, and this is the time of year to say thanks and invite new listeners to join. Throughout the drive, there will be more episodes and a few extra check-ins along the way. To learn more or become a member, visit https://maximumfun.org/joindeadpilots Happy MaxFunDrive!
