AI fatigue is real, but what if the solution isn't less AI but a smarter approach to how we validate and implement it? On this episode of Power Supply, we're joined by David Newton, SVP of Product, Customer Success, and AI Initiatives at HANDLE® Global and host of the Canopy podcast, to cut through the AI hype and talk about what's actually working in healthcare supply chain. David outlines why blockchain stalled while AI accelerated, how to turn proprietary data into a competitive advantage, and how to approach AI with the right mindset—trust but validate, start small, and focus on judgment over automation. He shares practical tips for using AI tools like ChatGPT and Replit, why storytelling matters as much as the technology itself, and how to build real value without chasing every new tool that comes along. Tune in to this episode for a refreshing take on how to cut through the noise and apply AI strategically -- without the burnout.

What if passing your next Joint Commission survey depended less on having the right paperwork and more on whether your staff can explain the 'why' behind what they do? On this episode of Power Supply, we sit down with Kathy Neal and Sara Barker to break down Accreditation 360—the biggest shift to Joint Commission surveys in years—and what hospitals need to know for 2026. From consolidating standards to moving from checklist-based to performance-based surveys, Kathy and Sara explain what's actually changing, why collaboration across departments just became more critical, and how supply chain teams can play a leadership role in vendor management and continuous readiness.

Eskom has shown signs of improvement, but the country’s electricity system is still far from secure. Susan Comrie, who wrote the recent Daily Maverick piece on the topic, speaks to John Maytham about why Eskom’s coal fleet remains underperforming and what that means for South Africa. She explains that despite fewer outages, the power stations are still offline too often to provide a reliable buffer, leaving the system exposed to breakdowns and sudden spikes in demand. Comrie also discusses what lasting improvements would look like and what listeners should understand about claims that the electricity crisis is over. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

I don't blame Chris Hipkins and Co. for a moment, calling it a gas tax. That's politics when you are in Opposition, especially when you have no policies yourself. What I despair about is yet another chapter of myopic nonsense around dumb words for cheap points. The truth is comparatively simple and most of it is indisputable: we need more power supply than we have. We need more reliable power supply than we have. We got caught dangerously short in the winter of 2024. Labour, in turning off the gas, wrecked the industry and caused untold damage. The Huntly coal deal is part of the solution. An LNG importation facility is another part. We need a power supply tap because hydro, wind, and solar isn't it. Even if it's the bulk of supply, it's reliant on things we can't control. So far so good, we all agree. The cost of LNG is a billion-ish. Someone has to pay. The Government could pay by borrowing more but, wisely, they choose not to. The industry could pay through a levy. That is what we have chosen. Will they pass it on? Yes, why wouldn't they? Do you like that? No, why would you? But at all times we come back to the basic issue: do you want heating in winter, every winter, like a first world country? Do you want business to be able to operate at full capacity like a first world country? So it isn't a tax. A tax is a forced payment by Government, that's not what this is. It's an increased power bill to eventually get a power bill that wouldn't have been as high if we hadn't built a back stop for supply. It's the cost of rectifying an embarrassing wrong. You might want to remember that when you vote. Fixing broken stuff costs money. It's human to want others to pay for stuff but that's not how life works. If you want a spot price of $800 in the dead of winter, the highest price in the world, then doing nothing will work well. We need more emphasis on the future, and on improvement, and less on the petty and the political point-scoring. I wouldn't have thought any of that is complicated. You might not be thrilled, but it's not complicated. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if treating infusion therapy as its own service line could turn pharmacy from a cost center into a revenue driver? On this episode of Power Supply, we welcome back Derek Imars, Executive Director of Pharmacy Supply Chain at IU Health, to explore why health systems should rethink their approach to infusion therapy. From the expansion of home infusion and CAR-T therapies to regulatory pressures, payor dynamics, and private equity influence, Derek breaks down the forces driving hospitals to centralize infusion services and build dedicated command centers. He shares how physician champions, referral networks, and strategic consolidation can help health systems manage the increasing spread of care delivery sites while avoiding revenue leakage.

In this episode of Breaking Math, Autumn and Nicolas Niarchos critique the "green" narrative of lithium-ion technology. Tracing the industry from its 1991 commercialization to modern geopolitical tensions, the hosts expose the exploitation and environmental degradation inherent in global mining, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. By challenging the presumed sustainability of electric vehicles, they emphasize the need for supply chain transparency and urge listeners to adopt a more informed, ethically-conscious approach to modern consumption.Takeaways What does it really cost to power the future? The bargain as stated is clean energy in one part and at the other end, you have corruption, pollution, and human suffering. The greenest vehicle is not always the electric one; it depends on the entire lifecycle of the product. We need to improve conditions on the ground, not just extract resources. Corruption is unfortunately a fact of life and is very closely related to extraction.Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 03:24 The Journey to Congo and Corruption 07:13 The Birth of Lithium-Ion Batteries 09:35 The Uneven Global Bargain 12:16 Mining vs. Oil: A Different Kind of Harm 13:56 Onshoring Battery Production: Challenges and Opportunities 17:13 China's Dominance in Battery Manufacturing 18:51 The Race in Battery Technology 21:39 Corruption and Poverty in the Congo 24:31 The Human Cost of Mining 29:12 Health Impacts of Mining 31:52 Colonial Legacy and Modern Mining 34:00 The Future of Battery Technology 39:12 Introduction to Complex Narratives 39:53 The Reality of Resource Extraction 39:59 Embracing Curiosity and ReflectionFollow Nick on Twitter, and you can get his book here.Subscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

A new year doesn’t need better intentions, it needs divine power. In this New Year episode of The Uncommon Christian Podcast, Jon Ellis exposes why so many believers feel spiritually exhausted: they’re trying to live the Christian life without the Holy Spirit leading it.

In this episode, you’ll discover: ● Why willpower and discipline can’t sustain obedience ● What Scripture actually says about the role of the Holy Spirit ● How cultural Christianity replaced power with effort ● Practical steps to enter the new year Spirit-led, not burned out If you’re tired of striving, stuck in cycles, or hungry for real transformation, this episode resets everything. Willpower has never transformed anyone. In this New Year episode, Jon Ellis reveals why the Spirit-filled life isn’t optional, it’s essential. You don’t need a new calendar; you need new power.
