In Episode 85 of the Digital Velocity Podcast, Erik Martinez sits down with Pat Barry, President of demystifAI and a seasoned data scientist, to tackle one of the thorniest challenges in modern marketing: how to measure and forecast performance in a world full of fragmented data. From McDonald's digital tracking systems to direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing attribution puzzles, Pat shares his cross-industry experiences using AI and synthetic data to fill in gaps, build more accurate forecasts, and drive smarter decision-making. They unpack the often-misunderstood limitations of Google Analytics, the data blind spots caused by Safari, cookies, and ad blockers, and the growing role of generative AI in turning incomplete data into actionable intelligence. Whether you're a CMO building next year's budget or a performance marketer struggling with conflicting reports, this episode offers deep insights into: • Why most digital data is not as accurate as you think—and how to manage it • How synthetic data can simulate realistic scenarios for forecasting and strategy • Ways to test AI-generated forecasts for precision using statistical models • What every DTC brand must know about attribution, consent loss, and multi-device journeys Tune in to learn how to use AI as your data 'time machine'—not just for insights, but for impact.

In this episode of Caring Greatly, K. Elliott Higgins III, MD, is Director of Health and Wellbeing for UCLA's Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, shares the origin of the Wellbeing Influencers Survey for Healthcare (WISH). The survey initiative began when Dr. Higgins and his team wanted more insight into specific drivers and barriers for wellbeing. He describes the process by which he and his team collaborated with an extended team of content experts to identify the eight critical drivers of team member wellbeing and then validate a set of questions that accurately assess these drivers and reliably predict key outcomes including burnout, intent to leave and professional fulfillment. Finally, Elliott shares the ways that the WISH survey is helping to facilitate culture change and team alignment by creating a shared lexicon and helping teams focus on changes that have the biggest impact on safety and wellbeing. He also outlines the team's efforts to test the survey's value in multi-center trials within anesthesia, as well as trials in other specialties, with hopes that the survey will help to improve cultures of care team safety and wellbeing across the healthcare ecosystem. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Stryker.

In this comprehensive episode of the HVAC podcast, Bryan hosts an in-depth discussion about dehumidification technologies with two industry experts: David Schurk, National Sales Manager for Innovative Air Technologies, and Nikki Krueger from Santa Fe Products. The conversation explores the fundamental differences between compression refrigeration dehumidification and solid desiccant systems, providing valuable insights for HVAC professionals dealing with moisture control challenges. David Schurk brings 44 years of industry experience and serves as an ASHRAE Life Member and Distinguished Lecturer, teaching humidity control professional development courses. His expertise focuses on solid desiccant dehumidification systems for industrial and heavy commercial applications. Nikki represents Santa Fe Products, pioneers of whole-house ventilating dehumidification technology since the mid-1990s, and discusses the growing residential and light commercial market demands driven by tighter building construction and stricter energy efficiency requirements. The discussion delves into the critical importance of understanding dewpoint versus relative humidity measurements, a fundamental concept that often confuses technicians in the field. The experts explain how the dew point remains consistent throughout a space while relative humidity can vary dramatically based on temperature differences between rooms, floors, and ceilings. This understanding is crucial for proper system design, troubleshooting, and customer education, especially as homeowners become increasingly aware of indoor air quality concerns. The conversation also addresses the intersection of building science and dehumidification technology, emphasizing that proper moisture control requires both well-designed building envelopes and appropriate mechanical systems. From residential applications dealing with tighter construction and mechanical ventilation requirements to industrial processes like lithium battery manufacturing requiring extremely low humidity levels, the experts highlight how different technologies serve specific market segments while sometimes overlapping in commercial applications. Key Topics Covered Fundamentals of moisture control  Compression refrigeration dehumidification Solid desiccant technology  Market applications and demand drivers Building envelope importance  Measurement and troubleshooting  Water activity levels and mold prevention Technology boundaries  Energy considerations Installation challenges   Learn more about Santa Fe's products at https://www.santa-fe-products.com/, and learn more about David's work at https://www.dehumidifiers.com/.

Episode 342 of RevolutionZ reconsiders how to evaluate success in our struggles against Trumpian fascism.When someone asks how a protest went, what are we really measuring? Our feelings? Media coverage? Participation numbers? Or something more substantive? Being vague about what matters is our movement measurement problem.This episode proposes four essential metrics that truly matter: Did our actions inspire continued involvement? Did we raise consciousness among those who witnessed our efforts? Did we grow commitment and strengthen the movement? And did we communicate to power-holders that we won't back down?Via reflections on experiences during Vietnam War protests, the episode illustrates how unrealistic expectations can demoralize rather than empower. He offers practical suggestions for the upcoming July 17th demonstrations—from coordinated clothing colors to unified messaging—as possible ways to  enhance movement solidarity and impact.The episode goes beyond tactics to strategy including assessing the counterproductive dismissal of Trump supporters as simply "stupid," the strategic limitations of violence, and the false dichotomy between electoral work and direct action. The message is that diverse approaches can coexist within a unified framework if we judge each by its contribution to movement growth and effectiveness.The episode moves beyond subjective feelings toward strategic thinking to  advance progressive goals. The struggle against fascism, all kinds of inequity and injustice, and ecological collapse demands nothing less than our clearest thinking about what works, what doesn't, and how we measure the difference.Support the show

The podcast centers around the critical importance of well-being as a measurement of success in the workplace, positing that holistic well-being significantly influences both personal fulfillment and professional productivity. Sunny emphasizes that thriving at work correlates with thriving in life, noting that those who feel fulfilled in their professional roles are substantially more likely to experience overall happiness. This interconnectedness suggests that organizations should prioritize creating environments conducive to employee well-being to foster higher productivity, reduce turnover, and mitigate burnout. Sunny further elucidates that the prevailing focus on engagement may overlook this broader aspect of well-being, which encompasses emotional, psychological, and social dimensions. The dialogue culminates in a call for leaders to adopt a more comprehensive approach to employee wellness, arguing that such a shift is not only beneficial for individuals but also essential for the long-term success of organizations in an increasingly complex work landscape.The dialogue between Sunny and Scott encapsulates a transformative perspective on workplace dynamics, positing that engagement is no longer the ultimate metric of success; instead, a focus on holistic well-being is paramount. They initiate the conversation by addressing the alarming statistics that reveal a stark reality—only a small percentage of individuals thrive in both their professional and personal lives. This revelation serves as a catalyst for a deeper examination of the factors contributing to this phenomenon, and the speakers advocate for a fundamental shift in how organizations conceptualize and measure employee satisfaction. Their assertion that workplace well-being is the highest determinant of overall happiness challenges conventional business wisdom, urging leaders to adopt a more integrative approach that considers the whole individual rather than just their professional output.As the dialogue progresses, Sunny and Scott explore the reciprocal relationship between personal well-being and workplace performance, noting that employees who experience fulfillment in their personal lives are more resilient and adaptable in their professional roles. This interconnectedness underscores the necessity for organizations to cultivate environments that prioritize employee wellness, not merely as an optional benefit but as a strategic imperative that impacts productivity, innovation, and retention rates. The speakers highlight the need for organizations to evolve their measurement frameworks, shifting from engagement-centric metrics to those that encompass a broader understanding of well-being, thereby fostering a culture that values and nurtures the individual within the organizational context.Furthermore, Sunny shares her personal journey of transformation, illustrating how her experiences with adversity have informed her professional philosophy and advocacy for holistic well-being in the workplace. This narrative adds depth to the discussion, emphasizing the importance of personal experiences in shaping professional insights. The speakers conclude with a compelling call to action, urging leaders to prioritize well-being as a central tenet of organizational strategy, thereby recognizing that the health of their workforce is intrinsically linked to the overall success of the organization. This episode serves as a profound reminder that fostering a culture of well-being is not just beneficial for employees; it is essential for the sustainability and growth of organizations in an ever-evolving business landscape.Takeaways:Sunny emphasizes the necessity of adopting a holistic model of well-being to enhance both personal and professional fulfillment.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Have you set some goals lately: personal or professional? How are they impacting how you show God's love? Goals are important: personally and professionally. In the context of work, goals help us understand our part in a larger vision or project that impact our organization. Outside of work, goals can help us focus on achieving in other aspects of our life like health or finance. I would argue any good goal can go bad, especially when it takes us away from what is most important to God. Again, Scripture tells us God wants us to love him and love others as we love ourselves. How full is your goal set both at work and personally? Is this filling your time so much that you are not able to love God or love others? We live in a metric-based, title-hungry culture. When we set goals, how are we being measured, and what is the reward? When the measurement and reward become more important than God, we start walking down that slippery slope. Are you in sales? Perhaps you take an extra lead or two that will help win a trip or sweeten a bonus, but this causes a colleague to miss their goal by a margin. Or maybe you end up staying late to get more done and skip a church commitment. Are you working a lot of overtime to make your metrics look better than others at work and miss time connecting with a friend in prayer? Perhaps you feel like you are pulling a lot of weight on a project and complain about a colleague, not knowing they are suffering a personal hardship. Personally, have you set goals that compromise your time spent in God's Word, or are you doing activities you enjoy but keep you away from showing love to your family? Measurement and reward: They are not bad but can become bad when they are not balanced with our thoughts about God and our love for others. We are already winning in the eyes of God if we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior. How can we show this to others? Maybe you pass those sales leads along, help balance the workload to make your team look better or ask questions when a colleague is falling behind on a project. We are called to walk differently. Our reward is much greater than any trip or title we could ever achieve here on earth! How can we show others this type of love? Not the pizza and coffee love. Not the “I love my dog” love. Not the “I love the way the color looks on you” love. I mean the “I want to share life with you” love—the proverbial “I would give to someone event if it hurt” love. The love that weeps with those who weep and rejoices when others rejoice. When we are too busy, it is easy to give the glossy heart and flowers love. It is harder to focus on and think about how God wants us to show his love to others.

Julie breaks down how these strategies improve outcomes, engage patients and close gaps in access and accountability.Listen to this episode to discover: How Measurement-Informed Care Engages Patients: Learn how measurement-informed care supports patient engagement and treatment adjustments in behavioral health. We explore the importance of ongoing assessment, tracking symptoms and outcomes and empowering patients to understand their journey. Friction and Fuel for New Approaches: We unpack historical challenges to measurement-informed care. These include the omission of behavioral health from key legislation and the costs of EHR integration. We also discuss how NCQA depression measures and person-centered outcome measures relate to measurement-informed care.Benefitting From Peers' Lived Experience: We discuss how people who have been through mental health or substance use treatment can provide non-clinical support to help others navigate the system, subvert stigma and fill care gaps.This discussion is a valuable resource for providers, policy leaders and others who care about improving access, engagement and outcomes in behavioral health.Key Quote:"Measurement-based care has been around for a long time and only 20% of behavioral health providers adopted it.Traditionally, these are trained clinicians. And in the course of a session with a patient, probably in the back of their mind, they're evaluating whether an individual is improving or has worsening function.Payers would like some numerical or standardized way of seeing the clinician's clinical judgment. Measurement-informed care offers that."Julie SeibertTime Stamps:(03:04) Who's Behind Measurement-Informed Care(05:08) HEDIS and Measurement-Informed Care(08:13) Person-Centered Outcome Measures in Behavioral Health(09:58) The Power of Peer Support Specialists(11:57) Addressing Workforce Shortages(15:37) Why States Support Peer Support(16:32) Peer Support's Connection to Measurement-Informed CareDive Deeper:Blog: How Peer Support Can Help Close the Gaps in Behavioral HealthcareBlog: Measurement-Based Care in Behavioral HealthQuality Matters Episode 13: Getting Clear About Behavioral HealthConnect with Julie Seibert

From Dashboards to Decisions: Why Your Security Metrics Might Be Leading You Astray | An OWASP AppSec Global 2025 Conversation with Aram Hovsepyan | On Location Coverage with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli

In this On Location episode during OWASP AppSec Global 2025 in Barcelona, Aram Hovsepyan, an active contributor to the OWASP SAMM project, brings a critical perspective to how the industry approaches security metrics, especially in vulnerability management. His message is clear: the way we collect and use metrics needs a serious rethink if we want to make real progress in reducing risk.Too often, organizations rely on readily available tool-generated metrics—like vulnerability counts—without pausing to ask what those numbers actually mean in context. These metrics may look impressive in a dashboard or board report, but as Aram points out, they're often disconnected from business goals. Worse, they can drive the wrong behaviors, such as trying to reduce raw vulnerability counts without considering exploitability or actual impact.Aram emphasizes the importance of starting with organizational goals, formulating questions that reflect progress toward those goals, and only then identifying metrics that provide meaningful answers. It's a research-backed approach that has been known for decades but is often ignored in favor of convenience.False positives, inflated dashboards, and a lack of alignment between metrics and strategy are recurring issues. Aram notes that many tools err on the side of overreporting to avoid false negatives, which leads to overwhelming—and often irrelevant—volumes of data. In some cases, up to 80% of identified vulnerabilities may be false positives, leaving security teams drowning in noise and chasing issues that may not matter.What's missing, he argues, is a strategic lens. Vulnerability management should be one component of a broader application security program, not the centerpiece. The OWASP Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) offers a framework for evaluating and improving across a range of practices—strategy, risk analysis, and threat modeling among them—that collectively support better decision-making.To move forward, organizations need to stop treating vulnerability data as a performance metric and start treating it as a signal in a larger conversation about risk, impact, and architectural choices. Aram's call to action is simple: ask better questions, use tools more purposefully, and build security strategies that actually serve the business.GUEST: Aram Hovsepyan | OWASP SAMM Project Core Team member and CEO/Founder at CODIFIC | https://www.linkedin.com/in/aramhovsep/HOST: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESLearn more and catch more stories from OWASP AppSec Global 2025 Barcelona coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/owasp-global-appsec-barcelona-2025-application-security-event-coverage-in-catalunya-spainCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Dr. Jacob Barandes is a professor of Physics at Harvard University who studies the foundations of physics. He has emerged as a leading skeptic of the idea that our universe is somehow fundamentally mathematical in nature, marking a full cycle of more than two thousand years of ink spilled about the nature of the universe. Barandes has found that there is a way of modeling the basement membrane of reality as being made of bodies with location, where everything from superposition to electricity and magnetism are a product of the motions of these bodies. Our conversation spans the basic principles that Barandes has used to arrive at this conclusion, the vital role that confusion over what constitutes a “measurement” plays in producing a highly paradoxical interpretation of nature, and the fact that this debate about the nature of the universe - substance versus mathematics - has been raging for more than two thousand years, with no end in sight.
