Podcasts about Metric

In this special data-driven edition of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence is joined by Dr. Brent Myers, chief medical officer, ESO, and Dr. Remle Crowe, ESO's director of clinical and operational research, to unpack the newly released 2025 ESO EMS Index. This annual report provides a powerful, real-world snapshot of national EMS trends — drawing on more than 14 million anonymized records to surface opportunities for clinical and operational improvement. The conversation dives into key metrics that move beyond response times and into areas like pain management, opioid overdoses, airway confirmation, obstetric emergencies, whole blood use, pediatric behavioral health and high-utilization patient populations. Throughout the episode, Drs. Myers and Crowe share the motivation behind each metric, explain how the data was gathered and analyzed, and reflect on how EMS agencies can use these insights to guide better care delivery and system design. From confronting equity in pain management, to pushing forward innovations like buprenorphine administration and whole blood programs, this is a compelling call to turn data into meaningful change.

The Global Heat Reduction Initiative's Kiff Gallagher talks with Ian Welsh about 'Total Climate Accounting', a framework created by GHR to address critical gaps in current climate metrics by incorporating super pollutants like methane and black carbon. They discuss how this approach provides organisations with actionable data to reduce near-term warming while maintaining long-term decarbonisation goals – revealing why traditional carbon accounting falls short in today's crisis.

“That's genius!” - Charlie Luxton in response to Gbemi's revolutionary new idea… In this episode of our Anthropy special series recorded at the Eden Project, we speak with Dr. Gbemi Oluleye from Imperial College London. Gbemi brings a refreshing academic perspective to how businesses can make sustainable transitions affordable. As a lecturer at the Grantham Institute, she leads research on making sustainability economically viable for the manufacturing sector while also running executive education programs for sustainability officers. Gbemi discusses the need for convergent thinking, offers a sobering assessment of how late the sustainability movement started, and proposes a revolutionary new metric to track how planetary degradation impacts human productivity.

Could the rhythm between your heartbeats be secretly predicting how long you'll live? The tiny variations happening inside your chest right now might be the most overlooked health metric in modern medicine. While most people obsess over cholesterol and blood pressure, researchers have discovered that heart rate variability (HRV) may be a more powerful predictor of your longevity, stress resilience, and overall vitality. In this eye-opening conversation with renowned physician Dr. Molly Maloof, we uncover why this hidden metric matters more than you think and how understanding it could transform your approach to health. From why your evening glass of wine tanks your recovery to the shocking connection between phone addiction and plummeting HRV scores, Dr. Maloof shares practical, evidence-based strategies to rebuild your body's resilience. Discover which trackers and wearables are most accurate, how simple breathing techniques can dramatically improve your numbers, and why stimulating your vagus nerve might be the secret to reclaiming your stress resilience in midlife.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Molly Maloof: https://www.instagram.com/drmolly.co  https://drmolly.co/      Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

What does it really mean to build software with joy? At the Team 25 event in Anaheim, I had the opportunity to sit down with Rajeev Rajan, CTO of Atlassian, to explore how one of the world's most influential engineering organizations is redefining developer experience from the ground up. Rajeev shares how developer joy became a guiding principle for Atlassian, not as a feel-good initiative but as a core driver of performance and innovation. Rather than focusing solely on velocity or throughput, Atlassian measured how productive developers felt in their codebases. That metric has now improved from 49 percent to 75 percent, thanks to a deliberate strategy built on three pillars: better tools, stronger engineering culture, and empowered teams. We also dive into how this cultural shift helped accelerate the delivery of Rovo, Atlassian's most ambitious AI product to date. Built-in record time, Rovo didn't emerge from a top-down push but from an environment where engineers were supported to move fast without cutting corners. That includes training internal teams through AI School, rolling out dev agents, and prioritizing transparency over automation for automation's sake. Rajeev also reflects on how India has become a global engine for AI and software development and why Atlassian invests in its global teams with the same level of trust and ownership as any other location. From ship-it hackathons to hands-on leadership and a grounded view of where AI helps and where it still falls short, this conversation highlights what it takes to build modern engineering teams that are both productive and fulfilled. So, if you're building AI strategies, leading engineering teams, or rethinking how to scale innovation responsibly, what would change if developer happiness were your benchmark?

In this episode of Your Mileage May Vary, Keith and Mike begin by considering the ethics of emotional honesty. They discuss whether withholding one's emotional state constitutes a lie, and how much emotional transparency is required in a functional relationship. Keith argues that stoicism, while flawed, is preferable to emotional overexposure. The conversation quickly turns to situationships, particularly cases where men engage in sustained sexual encounters while deliberately avoiding commitment. The hosts propose several mental models to explain this behavior, ranging from embarrassment to status differentials. Keith draws on the film Bridesmaids for empirical support, which is as close to peer-reviewed literature as the podcast is likely to get. Mike admits to avoiding brunch invitations for fear that a partner might meet Keith and immediately break up with him. Later, the two revisit the topic of sleep sex, a long-dormant segment of the show's canon. A Reddit post prompts speculation on the biomechanics of unconscious consent, as well as the engineering challenges of nocturnal vaginal access. Keith is skeptical of the feasibility, while Mike proposes an alternative strategy involving the mouth. As always, they are more concerned with logistical plausibility than moral implications. Finally, the hosts explore the emotional valence of semen volume and toothbrush sanitation. Keith describes himself as “probably within a standard deviation of the mean,” which is apparently a good thing. A detailed anecdote involving mistaken toothbrush identity is shared, regrettably. The episode concludes with Keith reflecting on his lizard brain and Mike wondering about electro-ejaculators—standard fare for a podcast about relationships.

Please Leave A Rating Or Review!Free Discord Community! https://discord.gg/4QMxjFyQGJIn this conversation, Brad discusses the importance of building running volume safely, emphasizing the need for consistency and a shift from traditional mileage tracking to time-based training. He critiques the 10% rule for increasing mileage, especially at higher volumes, and advocates for a more holistic approach that considers various training stimuli and emotional stability. The conversation highlights the significance of establishing a consistent training routine over six to eight weeks before focusing on metrics and volume increases. In this conversation, Brad Trains discusses the importance of focusing on time rather than mileage in training, the significance of vertical gain and descent in preparation for races, and introduces the Training Stress Score (TSS) as a comprehensive metric for tracking training intensity and volume. He emphasizes the need to consider both ascent and descent when building vertical gain and explains how TSS can help athletes manage their training loads effectively, regardless of their specific training goals.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the recent report that McDonald's had surpassed Starbucks in global brand valuation. After an eight-year run at the top, Starbucks' valuation declined 36% last year to drop it to No. 2, and Sam and Alicia talk about the significance of this change and some other surprises in the top 10 most valuable restaurant companies. Then they discuss Dutch Bros' decision to enter the consumer packaged goods space by putting its ground coffee on retail shelves. This move follows other chains entering the retail category, and Sam and Alicia talk about how this could be influenced by consumers pulling back on restaurant spending due to inflation. Next up is the continued struggles of casual-dining chains, which was put in sharp relief by Bar Louie's decision to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Is this a bad sign for the full-service category? And in this week's extra serving, senior editor Joanna Fantozzi joins to talk about Panera's announcement that interim CEO Paul Carbone would lose the “interim” tag and lead the brand into the future — a future that seems to be driven less by quality and more by value and convenience.

It's a bumper Spotlight in a bumper week of big sports news. To cover it comprehensively, Ross & Gareth are joined by Sean Ingle of The Guardian to discuss the election of Kirsty Coventry to lead the International Olympic Committee. We explore her path to victory, enabled by Thomas Bach's support, and how she might lead the organization through looming challenges, including the integrity of the IOC's bid/host city selection process, and women's sport. On the subject of women's sport, Sean also chats to us about World Athletics' announcement that it will introduce pre-clearance screening for athletes wishing to be eligible for the women's category. It's a move that forms part of Sebastian Coe's declaration to 'doggedly' defend women's sport. We explore how sex screening works, and issues it may raise, and solve.We then shift to cycling to discuss a remarkable Milan-San Remo performance by Tadej Pogacar, showcasing superiority and versatility not seen in cycling for a very long time.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mal McHugh, a legend in sports science, to dive deep into the world of metrics and performance. We're talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly of measuring athletes – from force plates to jump profiles.

We'll explore everything from how young hockey players should tie their skates to the complex world of tracking an athlete's physical decline.

In Part 2 Ralph Burns and John Moran continue their breakdown of why ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) is an outdated and misleading metric for scaling businesses. They introduce a better, more reliable metric that high-growth brands use to measure success—one that actually aligns with business revenue and profit, rather than vanity numbers. Expect insights on how to use Meta for prospecting and Google for conversions, why multi-channel attribution is essential in today's digital landscape, and how top media buyers are shifting away from ROAS in favor of more effective tracking strategies. If you're still optimizing for ROAS, you're probably leaving money on the table.

For the 20th anniversary of Stars' breakthrough third album, Set Yourself on Fire, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After Torquil Campbell and Chris Seligman grew up together in Toronto, they formed Stars when they were living in New York City. Their first album, Nightsongs, was made with the help of their friends in Metric and several guest singers, including Amy Millan. Deciding to relocate to Montreal, they added Amy Millan and Evan Cranley as full-time members. Their second album, Heart, was released in 2003 by Paper Bag Records and the new label Arts & Crafts, which was co-founded by their friend Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene. For their ambitious third record, they brought in drummer Pat McGee and producer Tom McFall. Set Yourself on Fire was eventually released in 2004. In this episode, Torquil Campbell discusses the early days of the band as an outlier in the New York City rock scene and how they found their people when they moved to Montreal. He describes his vision of having both male and female vocalists and how when Amy Millan joined, they could start telling stories from two different sides. Amy Millan discusses her initial reluctance to join the band, but how she was able to cement her place as co-lead singer and develop her songwriting voice. She also describes the alchemy of the relationships in Stars and how despite some romantic turmoil within the band around the time of this album, they've remained deeply connected to one another decades later. Evan Cranley talks about his musical partnership with Chris Seligman and how the two of them were able to collaborate to develop song structures in an orchestral pop style. Chris Seligman describes how his background in classical music, his love of string arrangements and his perfectionist tendencies impacted the music they made together. From the vibrant Montreal music scene of the early 2000s to an encounter with a stranger in a bar that led to a house where the songs were written to connecting with Tom McFall in London to a big fight in North Hatley to a mad dash to finish string arrangements at that last minute to personal lyrics about love, death and the band itself, we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.

In this episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Mike T. Nelson, a self-described research fanatic who has more than two decades of experience studying and obsessing over how the human body works. Dr. Mike has a Ph.D. in exercise physiology, a master's degree in mechanical engineering, and is an associate professor at the Carrick Institute and a university instructor at Rocky Mountain University.  He's also the creator of the Flex Diet and Physiologic Flexibility Certifications, has published research in both physiology and engineering scientific journals, and has even been asked to share his techniques with top military agencies. Today, Dr. Mike and I go deep into the research and practical applications of heart rate variability. HRV has gained popularity as a performance metric, but after listening to our conversation, you'll have a much broader understanding of HRV, how to apply it to your life (whether you're athletic or not), and ways to improve your HRV score.
