Podcasts about Nuance

About Mary Varghese Presti:Mary Varghese Presti is a transformational healthcare leader with over two decades of experience spanning clinical care, federal reform, biopharma, and health technology. As Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Health & Life Sciences, she drives growth in complex environments by creating clear strategy, aligning organizations, and operationalizing execution with discipline. Her prior roles include leading Nuance's Dragon Medical business, overseeing IBM Watson Health's Life Sciences portfolio, incubating new ventures at athenahealth, and driving digital-health transformation at Pfizer. She began her career as a pediatric nurse at Johns Hopkins and later helped shape national health IT and payment reforms at Booz Allen. Known for navigating complexity with optimism and rigor, she consistently turns ambiguity into strategy and strategy into measurable results.Things You'll Learn:AI in healthcare is evolving from simple assistants to agentic services that can independently execute predictable workflows, allowing clinicians to regain time and focus. This shift enables a hybrid workforce where human and digital colleagues work side by side.Dragon Copilot for nurses was designed specifically to support the way nurses document care, capturing structured inputs such as vitals, intake/output, and observations through natural speech. By reducing EHR time and ambiently recording bedside interactions, it helps turn “caring out loud” into complete documentation.Nurses spend more than a quarter of their 12-hour shifts documenting in the EHR, often feeling emotionally torn between screens and patients. AI that listens in the background can significantly reduce this burden while allowing for more presence at the bedside.New tools are starting to expose the “invisible work” nurses perform, from constant micro-assessments to coordination with ancillary departments. Making this work visible is a critical step toward properly valuing nursing labor and improving workforce planning.Real-world use cases, such as AI agents assembling data for tumor boards at academic centers, show that agentic workflows can compress decision timelines from weeks to days. These same principles can be extended to many clinical and non-clinical tasks, accelerating care while preserving clinician judgment.Resources:Connect with and follow Mary Varghese Presti on LinkedIn.Follow Microsoft on LinkedIn.Visit the Microsoft and Life Sciences website.Listen to Mary's previous interview on our podcast here.Watch Mary's keynote presentation at the HLTH conference here.

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff unpacks a recent panel he moderated at the Eudemonia Summit featuring Dr. Will Cole and Dr. Jessica Knurick — two smart, thoughtful voices who deeply disagree about the MAHA movement and the future of public health. Jeff reflects on why nuanced conversations are so difficult in an online environment engineered for polarization, and why real understanding requires asking honest questions and making space for a respectful exchange. He explores the points of tension around chronic disease, regulatory capture, environmental health, and the political contradictions embedded in the current public health debate. This episode also looks at the broader policy landscape — from SNAP reform to environmental regulation — and why meaningful progress demands both personal responsibility and systemic guardrails. If you've felt overwhelmed by the noise in the public health world, this conversation offers a grounded, thoughtful, and surprisingly hopeful reframe.

Welkom bij de Woensdagshow! Joop sr. is terug en dat is goede timing nu kleine Joop een hit heeft gescoord. We blikken terug op de heerlijke televisie zondagavond in Amsterdam, Tim Hofman richt zijn pijlen op Feyenoord en gaat NAC degraderen? We duiken in FC Emmen - Jong AZ, waar zes doelpunten vielen aan de Oude Meerdijk. Jong AZ kwam op voorsprong, maar na een rode kaart voor Adjedj, die Romano Postema "doormidden zaagde" volgens Menno van Dam, liep het makkelijker voor Emmen. Franck Evina scoorde tweemaal en Postema maakte er 4-2 van. En dan TOP Oss - Almere City (1-2), met een lekkere gelijkmaker van Poku, een onterecht afgekeurd doelpunt van Rijkhoff, en een winnende goal van Olivier de Nijs. De gebroeders Vianello stonden tegenover elkaar, waar het vuurwerk thuis op zolder bleef. Verder: Boem boem Boersma scoorde met een omhaal zijn 8e goal, Hugo Deenen raakte zwaar geblesseerd, Henk de Jong fulmineerde tegen de arbitrage ("grensrechters, help die man"), de Limburgse derby tussen MVV en Roda eindigde doelpuntloos in 0-0, en Philippe Lanquetin moet de cel in na een ernstig auto-ongeluk waarbij hij zonder rijbewijs, onder invloed van alcohol en met cannabis op achter het stuur zat.

La nuance et le mot juste ont-ils encore une place dans le débat public ? Dans une société de plus en plus polarisée, l'essayiste Jean Birnbaum, directeur du Monde des Livres, veut partager sa conviction : « dire les choses comme elles sont » vous met en position de force. Invité de David Abiker dans la matinale de Radio Classique, il est venu parler de son dernier livre, La Force d'être juste, publié aux éditions Flammarion.

In this very special episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's editor in chief) speaks with artist Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) about a busy year of institutional shows, studio experiments, and what it means for digital art to edge closer to the canon.The artist traces how works like Human One, Diffuse Control, and Transient Bloom at institutions like LACMA, The Shed, Mori Art Museum and Toledo Museum of Art have shifted his sense of digital art's inevitability. They also discuss why he thinks IRL encounters with screens, robots and installations are “higher fidelity” than years of online discourse. They then cover how his Charleston studio has become a public lab by hosting CryptoPunks nights, video game tournaments, and a Synthetic Theater event.The second part of the conversation mostly covers REGULAR ANIMALS, Beeple's robotic, AI-mediated dog pack for Art Basel's new Zero 10 digital section. They look at the work as a prototype for long-form generative systems that sense and interpret the world in real time, plus much more!Chapters

Moving slightly away from spooky season and weird folklore, the dragons are clocking in with a writing episode. At the moment, Romantasy is the biggest whale splashing around in the sea of fantasy, partially drowning out other subgenres (at least temporarily). While romantasy is a lot of fun, it's caused further changes in the 'strong female character' trope which are less fun. This week, Jules and Madeleine revisit the subject, looking at what really defines 'strength' in character terms and how to best write your own female character, even with Romantasy putting a thumb on the scales. Under the microscope this week - Jane Eyre, Anne of Green Gables, The Hunger Games and many more.   Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

Stevi got into Primal, then keto, then carnivore after seeing family members suffer, and dealing with her own weight issues. Carnivore got her through 2 pregnancies, got her BMI to normal levels, gave her back her brain power, and has allowed her to get through food addictions and help others to do the same. Stevi works with those that have autoimmune issues, on the AIP diet, with carnivore leaning and help them to figure out which foods trigger those issues. Stevi also created her own salad dressing company for those that need AIP options for seasonings, called Hearty Sauces.

We thought deeply about the societal implications of Paw Patrol before this amazing episode! The main science discussion involved a pair of strange, counter-intuitive wrinkles of physiology. The first was the sometimes paradoxical finding of higher hemoglobin A1c in many elite athletes. The second involved a new paper addressing a connection between suppressed thyroid hormones and low energy availability. Both phenomena demonstrate how physiology is a complex system. Also, it's possible that concerning bloodwork means one thing... or the polar opposite. We have fun breaking it all down!And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: Megan's Just Say No To Rhabdo training run, David's first treadmill workout on the comeback trail, a follow-up on bowls and buckets, the winter training plan, findings jobs in running, the pardon of Michelino Sunseri, running form 101, altitude tents, structuring training weeks, prepping for Survivor, fueling winter races, what to do about elevated heart rate, and lots more.This one is full of nuance. And after you listen, you'll realize that “full of Nuance” should be in the back room and cost extra.We love you all!

When you're visiting a foreign country, you miss a lot. From conversations around you on the street to advertisements on billboards or your favorite podcast that is suddenly playing you ads in the local language.

In this episode, Brendan sits down with Ingrid Sealey, founder of Teach Well, to explore the hidden nuance behind great teaching. Drawing on her work with thousands of teachers across Australia, Ingrid shares what she has learned about the small deliberate practices that make a real difference for students. They unpack why clarity matters more than complexity, how spaced practice can shift long-term learning, and why full participation is not about getting every student to join in but about getting every student to think. Ingrid also explains why explicit instruction is not a script but a way to support better decision making in the classroom. The conversation also dives into her new bookTeach Well's Instruction & Coaching Companion, which captures the core practices and insights that have shaped Teach Well's approach. Ingrid reflects on how the book came together and how teachers can use it to make practical confident changes in their everyday work. They also discuss how professional learning can move beyond one off workshops and become something that genuinely changes practice. Ingrid offers insights from Teach Well's long-term partnerships and shares examples of what happens when teachers work on small tweaks over time. This is a thoughtful and practical episode for anyone who wants to refine their craft and understand what really drives effective teaching. If you are looking for ideas you can take straight back to your classroom or leadership team, this one is full of them.

In this explosive TWR Wednesday, Sam, Max Sand, and Mortheous examine two political figures who—despite living on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum—share a common, dangerous thread.On the far-right: Nick Fuentes, a neo-Nazi sympathizer whose toxic influence continues radicalizing disaffected young men online.On the far-left: Zoran Mamdani, New York City's new radical-left mayor whose open communist sympathies threaten to accelerate the city's political and economic decline.Both men preach extremism.Both reject nuance.And both ultimately seek to undermine America from within by replacing democratic norms with their own authoritarian visions.The crew breaks down:How both Fuentes and Mamdani weaponize grievance politicsWhy extremes from either side destabilize the countryThe role of media ecosystems in amplifying fringe ideologuesHow cultural decay creates fertile ground for radicalsWhy America desperately needs nuance, balance, and actual debate—not ideological cult leadersNo tribalism. No sugarcoating. Just straight talk.Welcome to TWR Wednesday—where nuance still matters.Sam's Substack: https://samwhitfield.substack.com/Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheWhitfieldReport2nd YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WhitfieldReportReloadedKick Channel: https://kick.com/whitfieldreportSam's Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sam-Whitfield/author/B00M1DNU88?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DIcoDO0BIDyuH7SWIsAB8?si=8c06106f817d4eebAmerican Instinct Pulp Adventures: https://americaninstinct.substack.comFollow Sam on X & Instagram: @SamW_NGCFollow Right To Offend Media on X: @RTOMediaBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitfieldreport

We had a good ole time discussing the future of intersectional neurodivergent advocacy, especially as it relates to race and gender. Janelle shared a POWERFUL personal story about her own self-diagnosis. Janelle shared about her critically important research and her vision for a future where neurodivergent leaders are prominent in various sectors, advocating for equity and representation. We also discussed the importance of self-reflections, especially as it relates to our own internalized ableism. We also discuss some of the challenges neurodivergent folks face in therapy, as well as some helpful tips for identifying the right therapist for you. Janelle also shared some truly striking stats from her research as it relates to what the true "face of autism" looks like now and in the future. She is an amazing thought-leader in this space and I'm super excited for you to listen to our discussion.Key Points:Neurodivergent advocacy is evolving beyond just accommodations.You can't speak about neurodivergence or disability without talking about race and gender.Self-diagnosis is valid and can be a powerful realization.Beatboxing can be a form of stimming for some individuals.Therapists need to understand the cultural context of their clients.Emerging data shows disparities in autism diagnoses among racial groups.Neurodiversity should be rethought beyond traditional labels.The future should include more neurodivergent leaders in various fields.Community is enough and has always been enough.Challenging internalized ableism is crucial for personal growth.Embracing one's identity can lead to joy and fulfillment.Nuance and intersectionality are vital in understanding diverse experiences.Helpful Links:Janelle's Mental Health Practice - Bridges Family Life Center: http://www.bridgesflc.com/Take the neurodivergent research survey, and share with your networks! https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3yOrtajDF32kG8eMalcolm X quote on Black women: https://speakola.com/political/malcolm-x-speech-to-black-women-1962Neurodivergent Therapist Database: https://ndtherapists.com/Hire me to speak or as your personal coach! sheldongayisbugn.comFree GroupMe Community for Talented and Gifted adults: https://groupme.com/join_group/108040800/igLaxqNGND Connect - Online community for neurodivergent people: ndconnect.appUmbrella ND - Non-profit focused on neurodivergent advocacy: https://umbrellaopensdoors.org/Submit your Questions or Misunderstood Insights: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelanG1R71TcGjzHIyVW1f8fkE7MaWx-D2j7OtHsIGrdQhi_Q/viewform?usp=sf_linkIntro and Outro music provided by byrdversion1 - "Understand" from the album Nevermore Hosted on Acast.

Jeremy's joined by Jeff, Ryan, and his daughter Kelsey to discuss whether the Bible encourages today's Christians to honor today's non-believing Jews. This is a hot topic, and I think the answer is yes, but I wanted to hash it out with people on both sides of this. This ended up being a thoughtful discussion ranging from Genesis to the New Testament, from honor to salvation. If you care about the Bible and God's plans for the world and for the Jews in particular, this is an important question to come up with an answer to.

The secret to running farther and faster isn't fancy workouts—it's the boring stuff you're skipping.Most runners chase quick fixes—faster workouts, new shoes, or trendy training plans—but the real growth comes from mastering the basics. In this episode, I break down the simple “More, Better, New” framework that helps you know when to increase mileage, refine technique, or try something new. You'll learn how to build a stronger base without burning out, understand why volume rules endurance training, and discover how to use boredom as your secret weapon for real results.Key TakeawaysFocus on Volume First: Building your weekly mileage is the most effective way to become a more durable and efficient runner, creating a foundation that makes everything else easier.Refine Your Technique Second: Once you have a solid base of volume, you can start to fine-tune your form and pacing to squeeze more speed out of the engine you've built.Introduce Novelty Last: Only after consistently doing more and getting better should you introduce new, complex workouts or plans to break through a plateau and keep things fresh.Timestamps[00:46] What You'll Learn[01:32] Why You Should Use The More, Better, New Framework[02:37] Why Do More of Something First[04:03] Use This To Run Farther and Longer Easier[05:03] When To Do Better in Your Training and How[05:41] The Nuance of More vs Better vs New[07:19] Why Volume Usually Wins[08:50] The Earning System (When to use better and New)[11:02] How Brenton Can Use Norwegian Double Threshold[13:06] Use This First Before You Do Anything ElseLinks & Learnings

Prompted by the recent peace agreement between Israel and Gaza—and the wide range of reactions it has sparked—this week we ask: how should Christians respond when their political “opponents” accomplish something that's objectively good? In our polarized age, it can feel almost disloyal to celebrate the other side's victories. But followers of Jesus serve a King whose kingdom transcends every earthly party and platform. In this episode, we explore the role of nuance, the challenges of “third way-ism,” and how to live faithfully in politically fractured times. We hope this conversation offers clarity—and a little encouragement—along the way.   Visit www.almondvalley.org for information about Almond Valley Christian Reformed Church in Ripon, CA.

When I read Madeleine Albright's book FASCISM: A Warning, I became deeply aware that what happened before could happen again. And it could happen here. But what is fascism, really? Is it hyperbole to make any mention of Hitler, to draw a comparison between today's politics and the Third Reich? The issue is critical. Nuance is important, but history's lessons are important too. History is a great illuminator. John Lestrange is called The History Wizard, and I've enjoyed his everyman's approach to teaching it. A scholar on Genocide Studies, he answered questions in our interview that cast light on a topic deeply relevant to our times. There is much to learn, and much to consider…   MarianneWilliamson.Substack.com

What happens when an AI strategy meets the real-world complexity of healthcare, law, and finance? That's the challenge at the heart of my conversation with Mark Sherwood, CIO of Wolters Kluwer, a global leader in professional information services. With over three decades in technology leadership across Microsoft, Symantec, and Nuance, Mark brings a rare combination of enterprise depth and hands-on pragmatism to the AI discussion. Mark explains why cloud-native architecture and data governance are the twin foundations of trustworthy AI. He shares how Wolters Kluwer is embedding AI across highly regulated industries—from helping doctors access life-saving insights through natural language queries to giving tax and legal professionals faster, more accurate guidance on complex regulations. Behind the innovation lies a disciplined approach: governing data, managing risk, and building confidence in AI systems that must meet the highest standards of accuracy and compliance. We also explore how to build high-trust, low-friction partnerships between IT and business teams to prevent shadow IT while accelerating digital transformation. Mark offers candid insights into the rise of AI agents, the emerging risks of quantum security, and why he believes that high-quality data is the most valuable currency in digital transformation. His philosophy is simple: speed means nothing without trust, and trust starts with clean, well-governed data. From cloud transformation to the future of AI regulation, this episode offers a grounded look at how global enterprises can scale responsibly in an era where innovation often outruns policy. So as AI becomes inseparable from how professionals think and work, how do we balance speed with stewardship? And are we truly ready for the ethical, technical, and quantum frontiers ahead? Share your thoughts after the episode.

Today, we're joined by Camila Vieira, a Partner at QED Investors focused on Latin America. Camila brings a wealth of experience to our conversation, having established herself as one of the region's most influential fintech investors. Camila joined QED in 2022 as the company's first employee based in São Paulo, Brazil, where she focuses on early stage investments. As an investor and operator with experience working across different regions, she brings a well-rounded perspective to the table, connecting founders and startups to valuable resources while leveraging QED's deep fintech expertise. Prior to joining QED, Camila built her career at the intersection of technology and financial services. She started at Moody's, a credit rating agency, before joining Goldman Sachs to focus on corporate credit and economic risk. Later, as part of Goldman's investment banking division, she helped fintech, software, and e-commerce companies raise capital and navigate the transition from private to public markets. She went on to join the global strategy and corporate development teams at Ceridian, a global software company servicing more than 160 countries. More recently, Camila spent time at Hotmart, a Brazilian tech unicorn whose platform facilitates sales of digital products, enabling creators to build, monetize, manage, and grow globally. There, she led strategy and operations, ESG, and investor relations. Today, we'll explore the dynamic Brazilian fintech ecosystem, discuss cross-border investment opportunities, and uncover lessons that US investors and financial professionals can apply when looking to diversify their portfolios into these high-growth regions. Before we jump in, I just want to tell you about a new initiative we're running at Tearsheet.  4dFI is an exclusive group of out-of-the-box builders and investors knitting together a community to invest in the next wave of fintech startups.

AI isn't replacing advisors—it's rewriting the rules of how value is delivered. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I unpack three recent developments shaping the future of wealth management: the rise of “generative engine optimization” as AI tools begin replacing traditional search, the quiet release of GPT-5 and what that signals about integration over intelligence, and how firms like McKinsey are using AI not to disrupt—but to enhance—human capital. The takeaway? We're not in a tech race—we're in a relevance race.As clients increasingly turn to AI assistants for real-time answers, advisors need to rethink how they show up in those conversations—digitally and personally. That means making your thought leadership easy to surface in AI tools, adopting systems that free you up to focus on what clients value most, and training teams to work with AI, not around it. The firms that get this right won't just be more efficient—they'll be more trusted, more visible, and more human.Ultimately, this episode is a call to futureproof your practice by doubling down on the one thing AI can't replicate: real relationships. Empathy. Nuance. The ability to sit with uncertainty and guide someone through life-changing decisions. The advisors who lead with transparency—about what AI can do and what it can't—will build deeper trust and clearer differentiation in an increasingly automated world.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with speculative fiction author and trained psychedelic facilitator Diana Colleen to unpack trauma recovery, the realities and limits of psychedelic-assisted therapy (without naming specific medicines), and her provocative debut novel They Could Be Saviors—which reframes “billionaireism” as a social sickness. This direct, no-fluff conversation explores set & setting, integration, consent, safety, wealth inequality, climate accountability, and the difference between recreational use and therapeutic containers. If you care about mental health, trauma healing, leadership ethics, wealth concentration, or climate responsibility, this episode gives you a grounded lens you can use—today.   About the Guest  : Diana Colleen is a speculative fiction author and trained psychedelic facilitator. Her debut novel, They Could Be Saviors, challenges cultural blind spots around extreme wealth and power while drawing from her personal healing journey with psychedelic-assisted therapy in professional, regulated settings.   Key Takeaways  : Psychedelic-assisted therapy is a container, not a shortcut: outcomes depend on set (mindset/intentions), setting (safety/support), and integration after sessions. Not recreational: therapy work is distinct from concerts/party contexts; trained facilitators and screening reduce risk and support trauma processing. Hope is a catalyst: one properly supported session can interrupt suicidal ideation; long-term change still requires consistent integration and support. Ethics of wealth: framing billionaireism as hoarding surfaces social and environmental costs; calling it an “illness” invites accountability without dehumanization. Climate and power: a small number of companies drive a disproportionate share of emissions; leadership choices have cascading public-health impacts. Nuance over extremes: billionaires aren't heroes or villains by default—human backstories and trauma shape choices; responsibility for impact remains. Regulation vs. capture: therapeutic use should be regulated for safety without turning into extractive, monopolized pharma pipelines. Culture change through story: fiction can challenge blind spots and make complex debates discussable without shutting people down.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website: https://www.dianacolleenauthor.com/ Newsletter & book info: via her site's Connect page Ask for reviews: Listeners are invited to read the novel and leave an honest review.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Stefan Molyneux examines the intricacies of forgiveness, highlighting the tension between the need to forgive and the risks of remaining bitter. Stefan critiques the idea of unconditional forgiveness, emphasizing that it should follow accountability, including apologies and a commitment to change. He explores the dynamics of personal relationships, stresses the importance of maintaining standards, and discusses how societal pressures can complicate moral responsibilities. Using metaphors, Stefan illustrates the emotional impact of unacknowledged wrongs and describes how waiting for an apology can lead to toxic relationships. Ultimately, he calls for a nuanced understanding of forgiveness that prioritizes accountability and rejects oversimplified moral frameworks.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
