In Episode 127 of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by special guest Neil Johnson for a riveting discussion on the intersection of elections, AI, and foreign influence. The trio begins by dissecting the concerning rise of predictive policing and AI surveillance tools, examining how technology like Palantir is being deployed against Americans under the guise of national security and law enforcement. They then shift focus to the Arizona ballot fraud case and what it reveals about the DOJ's obstruction and the left's refusal to investigate allegations of election interference. Neil provides insight into how private sector firms, NGOs, and foreign entities are undermining U.S. elections, particularly in red states with vulnerable electoral systems. Other highlights include an exploration of federal-state power dynamics, the media blackout surrounding the World Zionist Congress elections, and the absurdity of DEI requirements tied to voter registration drives. With a mix of legal insight, digital forensics, and unapologetic truth-telling, this episode lays bare the coordinated effort to destabilize American elections, and the countermeasures already in motion. For those seeking clarity amid the chaos, Episode 127 offers a tactical, informed look at the battles playing out behind the scenes.

How can physics help solve messy, real world problems? How can we embrace the possibilities of AI while limiting existential risk and abuse by bad actors?Neil Johnson is a physics professor at George Washington University. His new initiative in Complexity and Data Science at the Dynamic Online Networks Lab combines cross-disciplinary fundamental research with data science to attack complex real-world problems. His research interests lie in the broad area of Complex Systems and ‘many-body' out-of-equilibrium systems of collections of objects, ranging from crowds of particles to crowds of people and from environments as distinct as quantum information processing in nanostructures to the online world of collective behavior on social media.“It gets back to this core question.

I see it as part of that process of climbing its own mountain. It could do wonders for so many areas of science, medicine. When the car came out, the car initially is a disaster. But you fast forward, and it was the key to so many advances in society. I think it's exactly the same as AI. The big challenge is to understand why it works. AI existed for years, but it was useless. Nothing useful, nothing useful, nothing useful. And then maybe last year or something, now it's really useful. There seemed to be some kind of jump in its ability, almost like a shock wave. We're trying to develop an understanding of how AI operates in terms of these shockwave jumps. Revealing how AI works will help society understand what it can and can't do and therefore remove some of this dark fear of being taken over.

We look at background behavior. Is there a burst of new activity? We zoom in on that and ask why that is suddenly appearing and why it didn't appear before. Imagine one day you wake up and you find water in a pot is boiling and you want to understand why water is boiling. If you go at it one molecule at a time, it's not giving you the big picture of what is going on. We've probably all done this: you take milk, stick it in the fridge, too lazy to go to the grocery, so you just leave it there. The 11th day, the milk's gone bad. Why did that happen on the 11th day? What was happening was that all you could see was the kind of macro level, you couldn't see the individual pieces of milk. This is a new area of physics, exactly the same as how shock waves—a wave that builds up so quickly, there's no kind of precursor—appear. Using the data we collect online, we have a tool for making predictions of when we expect shocks to arise and what shape they'll have. So the reason we went for a systems level view is because you can't understand water boiling one molecule at a time.”https://physics.columbian.gwu.edu/neil-johnsonhttps://donlab.columbian.gwu.eduwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

“A lot of our work is comparative. We look at background behavior. Is there a burst of new activity? We zoom in on that and ask why that is suddenly appearing and why it didn't appear before. Imagine one day you wake up and you find water in a pot is boiling and you want to understand why water is boiling. If you go at it one molecule at a time, it's not giving you the big picture of what is going on. We've probably all done this: you take milk, stick it in the fridge, too lazy to go to the grocery, so you just leave it there. The 11th day, the milk's gone bad. Why did that happen on the 11th day? What was happening was that all you could see was the kind of macro level, you couldn't see the individual pieces of milk. This is a new area of physics, exactly the same as how shock waves—a wave that builds up so quickly, there's no kind of precursor—appear. Using the data we collect online, we have a tool for making predictions of when we expect shocks to arise and what shape they'll have. So the reason we went for a systems level view is because you can't understand water boiling one molecule at a time.”How can physics help solve messy, real world problems?

There's something about leaving a little on the table for someone else.”Neil Johnson Guest profileNeil Johnson is a renowned finance expert with over 30 years of experience in investment banking, merchant banking, and research analysis in both Canadian and UK capital markets.He currently serves as the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Duke Royalty. He is responsible for leading deal origination, due diligence, and structuring for Duke, a $300 million alternative finance investment company listed on the London Stock Exchange.Neil's expertise as CEO of Duke Royalty and in his prior role as European Head of Investment Banking at Canaccord Genuity is invaluable for business owners of private companies and investors in public companies.He has played an instrumental role in the growth and success of companies, raising over $5 billion in funding for hundreds of companies during his 19-year tenure.Worst investment everDuring the run-up to the.com one era, when the internet was starting, Neil was a young internet analyst with some exposure to some of the high-flying stocks of the day. He learned of a company that was creating website templates. The company was looking for investors, and Neil thought it was a good investment, so he invested his savings. Neil also charged the company an investment banking fee that he was taking in stock.Though the business had a good product, it was too early into the market, so no one paid attention. Neil was getting in at 50 cents a share. A few years later, the internet bubble enveloped the company. The founders got a call from one of the biggest internet financiers in Silicon Valley and got signed up to go public.They did a pre-public round, so they wanted to buy all the shares they could get. They tried to get Neil to sell his shares to them at $5 a share, which was ten times more than he paid for his shares. He, however, wasn't interested in selling his shares as he believed the company would grow and the shares would be worth a lot more.The company filed to go public in March 2000, and now the shares were selling at $15. They kept delaying the process and never went public. They had ballooned the management team and company costs. The company had about $25 million on the balance sheet, but management blew through all of it. Six months later, the company went to zero. Neil lost his entire investment.Lessons learnedTake the profit when you can.Take some money out and play with the rest.Do your due diligence.Andrew's takeawaysYou've got to have a lot of bets lined up so that one decision doesn't wipe you out.Actionable adviceDon't be overly greedy.

When a system fails, how do you think about cause and effect? One way to consider this in complex systems is to imagine a pile of sand, and dropping one grain of sand at a time in random positions onto the pile. As time passes, you'll start to form little hills. Eventually, a grain of sand will hit one of these hills, and you get an avalanche. Do you believe that the avalanche was caused by the last grain of sand falling onto it, or do you believe that the avalanche happened due to the shape of the hill itself? To explore this sand pile model, we are joined today by Neil Johnson, Professor of Physics and Head of the Dynamic Online Networks Lab at George Washington University.   Connect: Simplifying Complexity on Twitter Sean Brady on Twitter Sean Brady on LinkedIn Brady Heywood website This show is produced in collaboration with Wavelength Creative.

Is the Future of Marketing Earned? Episode 35 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought podcast What You'll Learn in This Episode:o  The difference between paid, owned, and earned mediao  Why earned media is more essential than ever beforeo  How to capture the attention of journalists in the current ‘news you can choose' environmento  Advice for brand marketers looking to master the art of earned mediaIn this month's episode, we focus on the sometimes-elusive form of media known as earned. This was the crux of a recent Adweek article, which argues that earned media is the best tool in the marketing playbook due to its ability to appeal to consumers who are wary of ads. (82% of consumers aged 18-24 use some kind of method to avoid seeing ads – and we're finding that clients, too, are wary of spending big money on ads.)We also dug into this topic in our recent News You Can Choose white paper, where we explored three major trends shaping the news environment today. These include the sheer volume of content that people now must filter through, consumers' deepening distrust and apathy toward the news media, and the changing business of news as it becomes more difficult to capture the attention of journalists.However, only about 11% of U.S. marketing budgets are now allotted toward earned, according to a CMO Study. So, what do we make of this?To answer all these questions and more, moderator Linda Descano, CFA® brings in three of our most savvy news pitchers and news makers at Red Havas— Jodi Einhorn, Neil Johnson, and Bianca-Maria Cavuto – to discuss all things earned media.To kick off the conversation, Neil Johnson, Head of Media & Publicity at Red Havas in London, helps to define owned, paid, and earned media.“Owned media is content that the brand itself owns, such as a website, logo, or email newsletter, whereas paid is content that a brand pays for but does not own, such as a TV commercial, paid search results, or a sponsored advertorial,” explains Neil. “Earned media is content that a brand neither owns or pays for, such as an organic newspaper article, a user review, or a comment on social media.”Next up: the growing importance of earned media.“As the merits of ‘earned' media imply, we have to go out and convince media to write about a timely topic at hand,” says New York-based Jodi Einhorn, SVP, Media Relations at Red Havas. “The pros are that it has tremendous reach and opportunity to influence; the cons are that you have less control over the messaging. So, when you pay for coverage or post owned content, there is a bit more of an opportunity to own the messaging. Each has their own purpose, and one is not more versatile than the other.” “There's only so much control you can have with earned media, but there are things you can do to make sure brands are getting a desired outcome.” says Bianca-Maria Cavuoto, Associate Director at Red Havas, based in Manchester, U.K. “Agency partners must manage their expectations and establish clear communication and be upfront about what it is they want to get out of a campaign. Life moves fast, media moves fast, and relevancy moves even quicker.”“We in earned media are storytellers,” says Neil. “With ad spending being cut and shrinking across the board, earned is a trusted bet more than ever before.”Jodi then walks through what it takes to earn the attention of journalists in the current media climate: “Building meaningful connections with journalists starts with understanding what topics will grab their attention. It requires you to listen to what is happening around you. Once you've done your homework and listened to an established connection to inform your strategy, you can start to build out tidbits of news that will tell a compelling story for your audience.”Next, Neil explains how earned media comes with a ‘sheen of credibility': “Authenticity and credibility matter more than ever for brands. Unlike paid or owned media, earned goes through a vetting process, needing endorsement and approval by the journalist, content creator, or influencer you're working with. Ultimately, word of mouth is what we earn through these activations, which is a powerful tool.”Our guests then discuss the notion that we must treat consumers ‘like participants, not targets.'“The consumer is always right,” says Bianca. “When a campaign falls flat, you must learn from it and go back to the drawing board to understand why the intended impact wasn't achieved. Then, you have to take those learnings and reshape your future campaigns and the way that you communicate based on what the consumer wants. There is always a requirement to deliver something that resonates with them.”“When it comes to earned media, media is the channel used to reach the end consumer, as opposed to an owned channel where we're going directly to the audience” says Jodi. “Earned has the added layer of convincing the media to share something that is of note to the consumer. While the playing field is a bit different, the end goal remains the same.”Another key element to earned media is making sure a story is relevant on a local level across global markets. Jodi explains, “We operate on a global platform, and many of our companies are global businesses trying to reach new markets. Tapping into the expertise of relevant regional teams is one of the most critical assets to ensure we can jump on trends and create a narrative that will resonate with local markets around the world and not just here in the US.”To round out our discussion, each of our guests provides one piece of advice for brand marketers and communicators who are rethinking their marketing mix and want to master the art of earned.“Your agency partner needs to be well informed and well connected and needs to be coming to you with some key insights and journalists with an understanding of the news agenda,” says Neil. “Every day is a news day, so every day is a school day.”“Even though it's only getting a small portion of budget, earned should be in consideration from the moment you start to plan and develop an idea for a campaign,” says Bianca. “You have to bring in an agency and your PR specialists to make sure that the campaign is fit for purpose across all the channels, including earned.”“As we think about external communications at a global level, mass media in regions across the globe, in markets big and small, play a key role in the interconnectedness of the world,” concludes Jodi. “To facilitate the cultural exchange of information, brand visibility, and positioning between countries, earned media, international news, and regional publications that capture the nuances of certain regions are critical in not only creating a strategy for brand communications through earned media, but enabling us to tell the story at a local relevant level.”Give “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” a listen, and subscribe to the show on iTunes, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app. Don't forget to rate and review to help more people find us!Also mentioned on this episode:·     Red Havas: News You Can Choose White Paper·     AdWeek: The Future of Marketing is Earned·     Patagonia's “Don't Buy This Jacket” environmental campaign·     Wimbledon 2022 nail art campaign (Red Havas client) Follow Red Havas for a daily dose of comms news:·     Twitter·     Facebook·     Instagram·     LinkedIn Subscribe:Don't forget to subscribe to the show using your favorite podcasting app.·     iTunes·     Spotify What did you love?

In this episode of The Real ResQ, we are joined by Neil Johnson, USN RS.  Neil recaps his three year enlistment in the Navy with some incredible stories. He tells us about the Mayday call for a pilot who needed to eject during his very first rescue.  His second rescue was while he and his crew were flying Starboard/Deltas (in circles) covering all flight ops on the aircraft carrier. As they were in orbit, they watched the helo in front of them crash into the water.  Again, Neil was ready to go and was hoisted down to grab one of the four crewmen that was in the water. As a Crew Chief/Hoist Operator, as they were flying from the mainland to the ship, they were diverted for a man overboard rescue.  His last rescue that we talked about was a sailboat in distress where they assisted three survivors off the boat and out of the life raft.

We're back with the second episode of our image guided surgery video series! In the second part of this episode we're discussing lung nodule resection in hybrid OR with some of our Interventional Radiology and Pediatric Surgery colleagues at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Our guests are Dr. Anusua "Roshni" Dasgupta, Dr. John Racadio, Dr. Neil Johnson and Nicole Hilvert. And we're joined by Dr. Denise Liu, radiology resident at University of Toledo. Hosts: Rod Gerardo, MD, Em Tombash, MD With image guided surgery, surgeon uses real-time images of the inside of the body during an operation. These images are generally produced by a combination of X-rays, ultrasound, CT's etc. Hybrid OR (operating room) at Cincinnati Children's is a collaboration between Radiology's Dr. John Racadio and Surgeon-in-Chief Dr. Daniel von Allmen. The hybrid OR offers imaging capabilities in a sterile operating room. It creates an environment for surgeons and interventional radiologists to combine their individual skills and expertise in order to benefit patient care. The room is equipped with X-ray, fluoroscopy (live X-ray), ultrasound and C-arm Cone Beam computed tomography (CBCT). Surgeons work together in the hybrid OR with interventional radiologists, who specialize in using these imaging technologies. Imaging can be performed just before the surgery to help plan the procedure, during the surgery to identify important anatomy or disease, and after the surgery to evaluate results in the hybrid OR. Any surgery requiring radiologic imaging including open and minimally invasive surgeries, may take place in the hybrid OR. The hybrid OR at Cincinnati Children's opened in 2018 and serves for general surgery, urology, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, pulmonology, and many more.
