In a recent podcast episode, I delved into a topic that's increasingly relevant in our digital age: the delicate balance between personal privacy and the necessary visibility for business growth. This discussion stemmed from a follow-up to a previous episode where I outlined my research stack for gathering information about potential contacts – a process that often involves using tools like Truecaller and general online searches. The catalyst for this conversation was a listener who, after trying this research method on herself, was shocked by the sheer volume of personal information available online. She considered herself a private individual, yet her digital footprint told a different story. This led to a crucial question: should we start deleting our online presence to protect our privacy? My response, particularly for business professionals, was a resounding no. Instead, I advocate for a strategic approach: cultivate and optimize your online persona. The Fear of Exposure vs. the Power of Connection It's understandable to feel exposed when you realize how much information is readily available about you online. However, in today's business landscape, a certain level of visibility is essential. Potential clients need to know, like, and trust you before they'll do business with you. And in the digital realm, that trust is often built through online research. If your online presence is minimal, or if the information available is haphazard and uncontrolled, you're missing a significant opportunity to build those crucial connections. The Strategy: Building a Business-Centric Online Presence Instead of shrinking from the internet, we should strategically expand our presence with content that benefits our business. This means: * Focus on Business Content: Create and share valuable content that showcases your services, products, unique value proposition, and ideal customer profile. This could include blog posts, podcasts, videos, and social media updates. * Optimize Social Media Bios: Craft compelling bios on platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn that clearly summarize your business, the clients you serve, and your areas of expertise. Avoid including private information that could compromise your privacy. * Emphasize Your Expertise: Position yourself as an authority in your field by sharing insights and knowledge that resonate with your target audience. * Control the Narrative: By actively creating and sharing content, you control the narrative surrounding your online presence. This ensures that when people research you, they find information that supports your business goals. The Importance of "Know, Like, and Trust" Remember, people do business with those they know, like, and trust. In the digital age, this means building relationships through your online presence. By providing valuable content and showcasing your expertise, you can establish credibility and build trust with potential clients. Addressing Privacy Concerns Of course, privacy is a valid concern. The key is to be mindful of the information you share online. Avoid posting sensitive personal details on public platforms. Instead, focus on creating content that highlights your professional expertise and business offerings. In Conclusion Instead of fearing online exposure, embrace it as an opportunity to build your business. By strategically cultivating your online persona, you can strike a balance between privacy and visibility, ultimately driving growth and success. Remember, it's not about hiding; it's about highlighting the right information.

Inflation data shows little in the way of good news for Brazil. The country's planned digital currency moves through testing phases. And Trump's metal tariffs kick in — how is Brazil going to respond? This episode refers to the newsletters:

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop is joined by Jesse and Leo, co-founders of Maitri, a social infrastructure project focused on fostering interoperability between different social media applications. They explore the limitations of current social networks, the importance of community graphs in building trust and reputation, and how to create a digital environment that prioritizes meaningful human connection over algorithmic engagement. The conversation also touches on AI, reputation systems, decentralized governance, and the future of online coordination in an era of increasing technological acceleration.

Maitri is designed as a social infrastructure project that enables interoperability between platforms, allowing for greater connectivity, user control, and shared network effects. Instead of monopolies controlling engagement, they envision a future where smaller, more specialized communities can thrive while remaining interconnected.Community Graphs Offer a More Nuanced Approach to Social Identity – Unlike traditional social graphs that focus on one-to-one relationships, community graphs provide a richer representation of how people engage within groups. These graphs account for the “fuzziness” of social membership, acknowledging that participation in a community is often subjective and context-dependent. This system aims to better reflect how humans naturally form trust and reputations within various groups.Reputation Systems Should Be Positive, Subjective, and Competitive – One of the key challenges in designing digital reputation systems is avoiding the pitfalls of social credit scores. Maitri's approach ensures that reputations are built through private, positive attestations rather than public negative ratings. This system mirrors real-world trust-building, where individuals accumulate credibility over time rather than being permanently defined by past mistakes. Additionally, by allowing multiple reputation frameworks to compete, users maintain agency over how they are evaluated.AI and Automation Will Radically Reshape Online Interaction – With AI-driven bots increasingly indistinguishable from humans, the internet is at risk of becoming an overwhelming space filled with automated engagement. Jesse and Leo highlight that while AI can be useful, there must be clear distinctions between human and non-human interactions. Maitri's reputation infrastructure could help address this challenge by providing proof of unique personhood, allowing people to differentiate between trusted human connections and AI-driven entities.Decentralized Coordination is a Crucial Missing Layer of the Internet – One of the biggest problems facing humanity is the failure to coordinate effectively. Traditional institutions and digital platforms have struggled to balance inclusivity with exclusivity, leading to either centralization or fragmentation. By creating digital primitives that allow for more efficient coordination—whether through financial incentives, reputation mechanisms, or group dynamics—Maitri aims to provide tools that help people organize at scale without relying on monopolistic control.The Future of Media is Many-to-Many, Not One-to-Many – The era of mass culture driven by television and radio, where everyone consumed the same media at the same time, is fading. Instead, we are moving toward a more fragmented but dynamic landscape where smaller communities cultivate their own cultural moments. While this shift eliminates shared cultural touchpoints, it allows for greater diversity of thought and expression. Curation and trust-based networks will become increasingly important as content continues to proliferate.Balancing Privacy, Identity, and Accountability is the Next Digital Challenge – The conversation highlights the ongoing tension between privacy and accountability in online spaces. While anonymous or pseudonymous interactions can protect free speech, they can also enable bad actors. Maitri's approach seeks to give users control over their identities by enabling flexible, context-dependent personas rather than enforcing a single, rigid identity. This allows for a balance between protecting privacy and maintaining trust in online interactions.

Privacy law and technological advancements have a deep and intertwined history that go back to at least the 1890s with Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis's article "The Right to Privacy," which was prompted by camera technology. George Washington University Law Professor Dan Solove has long studied and written about privacy law. He published several well-known books including "Nothing to Hide: The False Trade Off Between Privacy and Security" and co-authored "Privacy Law Fundamentals," which is published by the IAPP. Solove recently published a new book, "On Privacy and Technology." IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy caught up with Solove just before the book was published to discuss it and whether the regulation-versus-innovation trade-off is a fallacy, why the notice-and-choice paradigm hasn't worked for consumers, and where the future will take privacy, AI, and cybersecurity law and regulation.

Well, here we are—the final episode of Informatics in the Round (we think!). After five incredible years, 38 episodes, and thousands of listeners, we've decided it's time to wrap up this journey. But first, we're taking a minute (or maybe two hours) to reflect on this wild ride—and we've brought some people you might recognize! In this episode, we pull some clips from the archive to help us look back at our best moments, favorite topics, and silliest slip-ups over the years. We take you through our “Top 5” topics that we loved to talk about the most: electronic health records, patient privacy, public health, health equity, and AI. We will also share some stories you didn't hear (like that time we forgot to hit records—oops), how the pandemic reshaped our personal and professional lives, and the lessons that will stick with us. To lead us through our Top 5, we invited back some of our favorite guests to reflect and discuss the future of the field:  Dr. Yaa Kumah-Crystal, MD, MPH, MS, is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Pediatric Endocrinology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center whose research focuses on documentation in healthcare communication.

Jason Brenner is the RVP of Healthcare & Lifesciences at LiveRamp and has been working in the advertising and ad tech industries for over 20 years. He is leading efforts on building data connectivity solutions for the healthcare and life sciences industries. Prior to LiveRamp, Jason has held leadership positions at Placed, Verve, PayPal, Time Inc., The New York Times, and Condé Nast. In this episode… Companies in industries like healthcare and life sciences are leveraging data collaboration to collect valuable insights to drive innovation and improve customer experiences. However, for many organizations, balancing data collaboration with privacy, security, and regulatory compliance obligations remains a significant challenge. With consumer trust at stake, and the risks of improper data handling, how can companies balance innovation with responsible data use? Data collaboration in healthcare presents both opportunities and challenges. Companies need to adopt privacy-by-design principles and engage legal and privacy teams early in the process. By implementing techniques such as data tokenization and de-identification, businesses can extract valuable insights while minimizing privacy and security risks. That's why companies like LiveRamp are making this process easier with a platform that transforms personally identifiable information into non-reversible tokens, allowing organizations to use data responsibly while minimizing privacy and security risks. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Jason Brenner, RVP of Healthcare and Life Sciences at LiveRamp, about the critical role of privacy and security in data collaboration. Jason shares insights on how organizations are navigating a complex and fragmented regulatory landscape, the importance of adopting privacy-by-design principles, and engaging legal and privacy teams early in the process. He also shares how businesses can minimize data retention risks, the role of de-identification and tokenization in protecting sensitive information, and the importance of building customer trust through responsible data practices.

EP 233.5 Key Cryptocurrency Threats & ScamsIn 2025, crypto remains a hotspot for scams like Ponzi schemes, fake ICOs, pump-and-dumps, phishing attacks, and malicious wallets or exchanges designed to steal funds. Social media is often used for deceptive giveaways, impersonations, and investment scams. Other risks include fake mining operations, rug pulls, fraudulent apps, SIM swapping, and impostor tech support.AI Skills Demand in the Tech Job MarketAI expertise is increasingly sought after, with about one in four U.S. tech job postings requiring AI-related skills. This trend cuts across industries like healthcare, finance, and professional services. Although overall tech job postings have dipped, AI job listings have surged since ChatGPT's launch, offering premium pay and higher job security.What Is Free95?Free95 is an open-source operating system on GitHub aiming for Windows compatibility without the bloat. It currently supports basic Win32 programs, with future plans for DirectX and gaming. Its creators prioritize security, simplicity, and independence from major corporate control, positioning it as a leaner alternative to systems like ReactOS.DOJ Push for Google to Sell ChromeThe U.S. Department of Justice still wants Google to divest Chrome, citing an illegal monopoly in search. The DOJ argues that selling Chrome would create room for genuine competition. While it continues to push for restrictions on Google's paid search placement deals, it has dropped calls for Google to shed AI start-up investments.Edge Computing on the ISSAxiom Space and Red Hat's AxDCU-1 data center on the ISS tests cloud, AI, and cybersecurity in orbit. Red Hat's Device Edge software enables real-time data processing in space, crucial due to limited satellite links with Earth. This development could boost AI training, imaging, cybersecurity, and overall autonomy in space operations.Undocumented ‘Backdoor' in a Chinese Bluetooth ChipResearchers found hidden commands in the ESP32 microcontroller, used in over a billion devices. Attackers could exploit these commands to impersonate devices, steal data, or infiltrate networks. The chip's widespread adoption in smartphones, locks, and medical equipment heightens the security risk, as attackers might gain long-term control.Security & Privacy Concerns of ‘Agentic AI'Signal President Meredith Whittaker warns that agentic AI requires broad system access, potentially gathering financial, scheduling, and messaging data with near-root permissions. This could break down privacy barriers between apps and introduce significant security risks, especially if sensitive data is processed in the cloud.Expanded Social Media Screening for Non-CitizensThe U.S. is considering extending social media checks beyond new arrivals to all non-citizens applying for benefits like permanent residency or citizenship. This raises privacy concerns, as individuals who entered before such screenings were routine may now face additional digital scrutiny when adjusting their immigration status.

YOUR PRIVACY NIGHTMARE HAS JUST BEGUN- GLENN MEDER

In today's episode of the Acting Business Boot Camp Podcast, Mandy Fisher dives into a crucial topic for actors and entertainment professionals—the balance between authenticity and privacy online. With social media playing a major role in personal branding, many performers feel the pressure to share intimate details to connect with their audience and industry decision-makers. But where is the line between being real and oversharing? Mandy unpacks the risks and consequences of unchecked openness in the entertainment industry, including how it can impact casting decisions, make audiences uncomfortable, and even invite scrutiny. She also shares practical tips for determining what to post and what to keep private, all while maintaining a strong, engaging online presence. Plus, she challenges you to be intentional about what you share over the next month—because authenticity is powerful, but so is discretion. Key Takeaways:

Artificial intelligence continues to shape the future of healthcare, and this year's HIMSS Global Conference 2025 reflected both the momentum and the uncertainties surrounding its adoption. In a conversation with Robert Havasy, Senior Director, Connected Health at HIMSS, the discussion focused on how AI, interoperability, and regulatory policy are influencing healthcare delivery, patient engagement, and the broader industry landscape.AI in Healthcare: From Concept to ImplementationGenerative AI has moved beyond the hype stage, embedding itself into real-world applications. Oracle's announcement of an AI-driven electronic health record (EHR) platform signals a shift in how hospitals and healthcare systems are rethinking data management. However, the conversation is no longer just about the technology itself—it's about how governments, regulatory bodies, and healthcare institutions will set guardrails to ensure AI's responsible and effective use.The Role of Policy in Shaping AI's FutureWhile AI adoption surges, regulatory uncertainty remains a key challenge. The Biden administration had proposed executive orders and regulations to guide AI's role in healthcare, but with political shifts and differing global regulatory approaches, the direction remains unclear. HIMSS has observed that different regions—the U.S., Europe, and Asia—may take separate paths in AI governance, raising questions about whether a unified best-practice framework will emerge or if multiple regulatory approaches will lead to diverging standards.Interoperability and the Shift Back to CustomizationFor years, healthcare institutions moved away from building their own systems in favor of purchasing standardized EHR solutions from dominant industry players. Now, there's a return to in-house development, driven by the need for flexibility, adaptability, and deeper AI integration. At the same time, interoperability remains a hurdle, as institutions seek to make AI work across disparate systems while maintaining security and compliance.The Patient's Role in AI-Driven HealthcareAI's potential to close the information gap between patients and providers is one of the most promising developments. From personal health monitoring through wearables to AI-powered tools that help individuals interpret medical research and their own health data, the patient's role in healthcare decision-making is evolving. The ability for AI to synthesize complex medical data and provide insights in real-time is reshaping how people engage with their health, making them more active participants in their care.What's Next?As HIMSS 2025 highlighted, AI in healthcare is not a distant vision—it's happening now. The question is no longer whether AI will be a part of healthcare, but rather how it will be implemented, regulated, and integrated into existing frameworks to maximize its benefits while mitigating risks. The conversation with Robert Havasy underscores the critical need for collaboration between healthcare providers, policymakers, and technologists to ensure AI delivers on its promise while keeping patients at the center of the equation.Listen to the full episode for deeper insights into how AI, interoperability, and patient-centered care are shaping the future of healthcare.Guest: Robert Havasy, Senior Director, Connected Health at HIMSS | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhavasy/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber] | On ITSPmagazine:  https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals Podcast | On ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli____________________________This Episode's SponsorsHITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitweb____________________________ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from HIMSS 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/himss-2025-health-technology-and-cybersecurity-event-coverage-las-vegasHIMSS 2024 Cybersecurity Report: https://www.himss.org/resources/himss-healthcare-cybersecurity-survey/____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastTo see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

If you're an oh I never cry kind of person, if nothing seems to touch you or move you that deeply, this is for you.Few things might be more impactful — and more challenging — than giving space to what has been avoided for a long, long time.Because that was me. With the exception of brief outbursts, I didn't allow myself a lot of emotions. It was difficult (and expensive!?) to re-connect with my heart and body. Every week I stepped into a bland office with tired carpets and waited for the dreaded words: “How does that make you feel?”I was not feeling anything.If anything, my body felt empty. There was a void. And tension. Like someone holding a door from bursting open.The head was my safe space. I wanted to think about my life, not feel it. Kudos to my therapist who gently prodded me back to my body when I tried to divert and tell a story.Anger might have been the hardest to access.Hot flashing anger. Boiling anger. Stewing anger. Even today, anger is a tough one. I still push it away. If I get angry, I may feel a short pull, a hint at something happening. Then it gets bottled up and placed in the toxic waste storage somewhere down in my guts. Anger does not feel safe. I had to learn, like a toddler, that experiencing anger was not the same as being an angry person. I had to teach myself not to feel guilty for anger simply arising. I had to grasp that being angry at someone I loved did not threaten to break our bond. Don't get me wrong: I don't want to act from a place of anger. I don't want my life to be filled with anger. No, like all feelings and thoughts, it arises and vanishes. The anger burns off. The better my overall state, the more centered I am, the less interesting it is. (This was where meditation changed my life profoundly.) But the self-denial, I found, leads to a dissociated existence, to a disconnect from my truth.It creates tension and numbness in my body. It leads to behavior that is hard to explain — like suddenly avoiding a person or place. It leads to the willful destruction of the gift of time to experience distraction and release.Then I climb down the ladder and open the anger barrel. Ah. That's what's going on…“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” ― Carl JungI have found different ways to access that space. What seems to work best is movement, movement that lets the body express and release without the mind as an intermediary. Workouts, dance, TRE, breathwork all seem effective. And, yes, even writing — which has the advantage of being available for free to anyone at any time (well, provided some privacy).It's dead simple, but not easy.I learned this technique from the books of the late Dr. John Sarno (I shared it here with other notes on journaling). Years ago, Jim O'Shaughnessy mentioned Sarno to me, but I was not listening. Sarno focused on chronic pain, particularly back pain, and that was not a major issue for me.Last year, one of my stepbrothers used Sarno's method to overcome long COVID. The way he described it was very moving, as if he was dropping the weights he had been carrying by communing with his heart. It blew my mind.Strange as it may seem, people with an unconscious psychological need for symptoms tend to develop a disorder that is well known, like back pain, hay fever, or eczema. — The Divided Mind“John Sarno was a rehabilitation-medicine specialist at N.Y.U.,” writes Sam Dolnick at the New York Times. A doctor frustrated with his tools which didn't seem to be effective. His encounter with psychology made him see “his own physical ailments — an irritable stomach, itchy skin, shrieking headaches — as manifestations of his emotional well-being.” Mind and body appeared to him as one system and chronic pain often as a psychosomatic phenomenon — a physical symptom caused by psychological factors (he called it TMS).I don't know whether he is right about pain being a ‘distraction' but I don't doubt the connection between mental and physical health.As with Freud's patients, I found that my patients' physical symptoms were the direct result of strong feelings repressed in the unconscious. — The Mindbody PrescriptionThe medical community thought Sarno, who called himself ‘a heretic', went too far. “Because his colleagues wouldn't listen,” writes Dolnick, “he bypassed the journals and instead wrote best-selling books, conversational in tone, that detailed the link he saw between emotional distress and physical pain; he sold more than a million copies.”I didn't suffer from chronic pain, but I was familiar with the issue of bottled-up emotions. How else could they manifest? What issues was I risking down the road?Sarno focused on rage perhaps because that was his predicament (“I am furious!” he said. “It's there all the time! I'm in a rage!”). What about the other stuff we push away? The sorrow, shame, guilt, envy, fear, all the hurt and judgment and nasty stuff we would rather avoid.What if Sarno didn't go far enough?“It is perfectly acceptable to have a physical problem in our culture, but people tend to shy away from anything that has to do with the emotions.” — Healing Back PainI wanted to know the truth about how I felt — the embodied truth, not the story my mind would come up with. And I wanted to drop the weight. I needed to know how Sarno had helped people.For some patients, knowledge was enough. That's why Sarno's books analyze the condition, the treatment methods, and (Freudian) psychology. Unfortunately, Sarno buried a key idea among his many pages (kudos to his student Nicole Sachs for re-surfacing it): if knowing about the connection between psyche and body is not enough, you can choose to face and release whatever you are holding.The best description I've found is in the chapter ‘treatment' in The Divided Mind. Barely five pages of a “daily study program.” It's that simple.* Make three lists with all the sources of your emotional pain:* One list for your past: “Anger, hurt, emotional pain, and sadness generated in childhood will stay with you all your life because there is no such thing as time in the unconscious.”* One list for your current life circumstances: “List all the pressures in your life, since they all contribute to your inner rage.”* And one list for your personality traits, whatever contributes “to the internal emotional pain and anger.” For example: being a people pleaser, self-critical, a perfectionist, very driven, shy, self-sacrificing etc. — “The child in our unconscious doesn't care about anyone but itself and gets angry at the pressures to be perfect and good.” * Set aside time and “write an essay, the longer the better, about each item on your list. This will force you to focus in depth on the emotional things of importance in your life.” I called it write Until the Heart Catches.* Ideally, do this daily. More realistically, commit to it as an experiment, say for a month, then regularly to check in. This is done by hand. With pen and paper. I know you all want to type it and have AI analyze it. Or speak it into a transcription app and avoid typing altogether. That may be effective in different ways, but in this what matters is not insight but to have an emotional experience that was previously avoided.The point of the pen is movement. We need to move from head to body and stay with discomfort. We need to see the words take shape and be able to stare at them. We need to feel the emotional charge. It's work. If you stay at the level of trivial chatter, your experience will likewise be trivial.Yes, your hand may cramp in the beginning. It gets better.Yes, it may be illegible. That does not matter. We're not writing to share.This is about healing, growing, and a chance to get closer to your essence.What happens on that page is for your eyes only. It may be effective to destroy the pages later on. I haven't tried that yet, but I know it can be useful to ‘release' written statements — say a letter of forgiveness — to the ocean, fire etc.Occasionally, this writing yields creative sparks. Ideas and insights, songs and poetry, maybe waiting for you. There is gold in your shadow. When that happens, you just write the spark up somewhere else. Keep the mindbody writing between yourself and the universe.A few things I've learned doing this many times:* Turn off the phone. Practice discipline. You may feel the urge to go to the kitchen, the bathroom, to text someone, check the apps, to do work, to do anything but experience what has been avoided for so long.* Set a timer. It can take a while to go deep. I often start at the level of story with my gaze outward (“my problem is [person] is [doing]”). Give yourself enough space to go beyond the surface. Keep writing until you find the trail of feeling, then discomfort. Look for I feel [X] and, frankly, I'd rather not…* Stay with the body. The mind will try to distract you. For the purpose of this exercise what happened is irrelevant. The story does not matter. All that matters is whether you can give yourself permission to feel what your unconscious is holding.* Privacy. This is about experiencing emotions that don't feel safe to feel, let alone express around others. Even with my therapists and my IFS coach I censored myself. The more privacy you have for this work, the better.* Mindbody experience. I've broken pens, punched through pages, sobbed, cried, yelled, and cursed. I tend to shift back and forth between writing auf deutsch and in English. Many of my pages are illegible. Sometimes the letters get very large, at other times the writing is tiny. Allow yourself a full body experience. Give your parts the space to express themselves the way they want to.* Try speaking. Try reading the emotionally difficult/juicy stuff out loud. Don't think or dictate but rather let the hand write and then say out loud what appeared.* Let go. We're not trying to make this our reality. The goal is to visit the dragon's cave and return to the village. Say what needs to be said, cry if you feel like crying, and when you're done, close the notebook and leave it behind on the page. * End with soothing. Things might get loud and wild and you might feel raw and upset after. Give yourself time to calm down and comfort yourself. I'm not joking. Don't do this and hop on a work call right after.* Find a couple of self-care rituals as rewards for doing the work — a walk in nature, yoga nidra, a nap, hot bath, soothing music or guided meditation..* Add self-love and forgiveness. We're looking to meet ourselves on the page as honestly as we can. You might bump into shadow that can be difficult to face. That's valuable, but we also need to make sure we don't stay in that mindset. Aside from soothing self-care, end with an affirmation to love and forgive yourself. Perhaps find someone to share that love with. Share a hug.* The weirder this sounds, the more important it is. If everything love and forgiveness gives you the ick, try something like Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It by Kamal Ravikant.I've used mindbody writing for life circumstances like money or writing, for relationship and family issues, for hang-ups like my avoidance of intimacy, and for the big leaps I have not allowed myself. I could easily find dozens more for which I haven't explored with it yet.Like my reluctance to ask for help. Gotta be independent! Can't rely on others… oh. Is that so. I wonder what feelings are hiding in that space. Or my teeth clenched at night. I wonder what wants to be expressed there… Still, I've found it very effective already. I feel lighter and less tense. My story has been changing. I find peace and bliss on the other side of broken pens and mad pages.It is simply one way I meet my darkness and stuckness to release it, one page at a time.Maybe it's time to start the work?I hope this helps.— Frederik This is a public episode.

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Arthur Breitman, the co-founder of Tezos, one of the OG blockchains that has been innovating since 2018. We dive deep into the evolution of tokenization, why the first wave fell short, and how the next iteration can unlock real value. Arthur also shares insights on Tezos' latest upgrades, the growing demand for privacy in crypto, and an unexpected but fascinating use case—tokenizing uranium.We also explore:Why stablecoins became the most successful “real-world asset” in cryptoThe role of privacy in blockchain and the regulatory challenges aheadHow Tezos continues to innovate with faster block times and seamless upgradesThe surprising connection between commodities like uranium and crypto marketsThe reality of DeFi and whether planned maintenance on blockchains makes senseIf you're interested in the future of tokenized assets, crypto infrastructure, and why banks still feel like they're stuck in 1999, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Key Takeaways:✅ The first wave of tokenization failed due to misaligned expectations—crypto traders weren't looking for stable, bond-like investments.✅ Stablecoins became the ultimate “real-world asset” because they're not an investment but a convenience, especially in regions with weak local currencies.✅ Tezos continues to evolve with fast block times, liquid proof-of-stake, and a strong developer community.✅ Tokenizing commodities like uranium opens up new financial markets that were previously inaccessible to retail investors.✅ Privacy remains a core value in crypto, but regulatory pressure is making it harder to implement.Listen & Subscribe:

#166: Ever wondered what really happens when police officers enter the emergency room? Drawing from 11 years of ER experience, I'm pulling back the curtain on the delicate dance between law enforcement and healthcare that few patients truly understand.The rules might surprise you. Police can't simply demand your medical information without proper documentation, even with an arrest warrant. HIPAA creates a powerful shield around your health information that requires your consent to breach in most cases. I break down exactly what healthcare workers can and cannot share with authorities, and under what specific circumstances these privacy protections might be waived.Many avoid seeking medical care due to fears about their immigration status or substance use being reported. Let me put those fears to rest: emergency departments operate under federal laws requiring them to treat everyone regardless of status. Hospitals are considered "sensitive locations" where even ICE operations are limited. Your health information stays protected unless very specific conditions are met.For healthcare workers, the challenges go beyond privacy concerns. I share real experiences of managing combative patients, working with inmates requiring medical care, and the delicate ethical balancing acts performed daily in emergency settings. The hospital policies might shock you—being physically assaulted by patients doesn't necessarily grant staff the right to defend themselves in the ways you might expect.Whether you're a patient concerned about your rights or simply curious about what happens behind those ER doors, this episode provides crucial insider knowledge about how healthcare and law enforcement intersect in ways that affect us all.
