"Your fertility is just a reflection of your life. How you've lived produced this result. It's not your fault, but it is your responsibility." Topics Discussed The emotional and energetic cost of modern womanhood and chronic overwork How burnout, stress, and disconnection from joy impact fertility and hormones The problem with “junk science” fertility myths around age and supplements IVF and medical trauma, and how to reclaim body trust after disempowering experiences Gut health as a foundation for hormonal and cellular repair Reprogramming subconscious blocks that keep you outsourcing power to experts Using discernment and intuition when navigating fertility protocols Energetic frequency, emotional coherence, and the cellular blueprint of health How AI is reshaping fertility support while still requiring human awareness and embodiment Radical responsibility and the shift from victimhood to empowerment "No one is coming to fix you. And I don't mean that harshly—it's actually the most powerful truth you'll ever accept." Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be. This episode goes deep into the burnout and disconnection women face in the name of “doing it all.” We talk about what it really costs to chase success at the expense of joy, peace, and fulfillment—and how those energetic debts eventually show up in your body and fertility. You'll hear raw truths about medical myths, why intuition is your most underused fertility tool, and how to stop outsourcing your power to experts, protocols, and even AI. We also explore how emotional patterns and subconscious blocks shape your frequency, your gut health, and your cellular vitality. If you've been “doing everything right” but still feel stuck, this conversation will help you see that healing isn't about doing more—it's about aligning deeper. The real medicine begins when you get radically honest about what's not working and start showing up differently. There's a little sass, a little science, and a lot of soul. By the end, you'll understand that your body never betrayed you—it's just been trying to get your attention. And once you listen, the magic unfolds naturally. "Instead of asking ‘Why me?,' start saying ‘I'm glad it stops with me.' That's when you shift from pain to power." Timestamps 00:00 – Why modern success culture is wrecking women's health and fertility 03:11 – Junk science, CoQ10 myths, and the power of discernment 07:28 – Radical honesty: what your body is trying to tell you 09:47 – Systems-based healing: addressing the whole ecosystem, not one symptom 17:14 – How gut health and emotional stress create silent autoimmune chaos 23:32 – The deeper energetic layers behind unexplained infertility 27:50 – Turning pain into purpose and rewriting your fertility story "The baby is the cherry on top. The real work is becoming the woman who no longer abandons herself."

In this special live Web Summit edition from Lisbon, roboticist, investor, and founder Chris Coomes shares how and why he built X1 Pipeline, an AI platform that evaluates startups the way he would — only much, much faster. It's something he wishes he had when looking for early stage robotics startups while at Google and Amazon. We also talk about the strange humanoid robots wandering the convention hall at Web Summit, why "agents" is a vastly overused word and why (his take) most of the agent startups he saw at the conference won't be around next year. Plus, why plugging things in is hard — and why (my take) that's a good thing, because it means we humans will still have jobs (as plumbers and electricians) in the future. Enjoy this fun episode, recorded live from the "Croissant Studio" on the floor at Web Summit in Lisbon. ---  Featured voices:Chris Coomes — Founder of X1 PipelineMe (Dan Blumberg) — I'm the host of CRAFTED. and the founder of Modern Product Minds.

Understanding the Modern Customer Experience: A Guide for Aspiring Professionals 1.0 Introduction: The Great Customer Experience Divide In today's competitive market, the customer experience isn't just a part of the brand; it is the brand. Every interaction, from a first glance at a social media post to a final click on a purchase button, serves as a referendum on a company's value and trustworthiness. Get it right, and you build loyalty. Get it wrong, and customers will walk away without a second thought. 1.1 The Loyalty Illusion A significant conflict is brewing between how businesses perceive customer loyalty and how customers actually feel. This "loyalty illusion" creates a dangerous blind spot for executives who believe they are succeeding while their customer base is quietly eroding. Executive Belief Consumer Reality ~90% of executives believe customer loyalty has grown in recent years. Only 40% of consumers feel they have become more loyal to brands. This perception gap isn't just a difference of opinion; it's a direct threat to revenue. "About nine out of 10 [executives] say customer loyalty has grown in recent years, but only four in 10 consumers say the same." The business risks of this blind spot are clear: 52% of consumers have stopped buying from a brand due to a bad product or service experience, and 29% have abandoned a brand due to poor customer experience. To close this gap, companies must first understand the entire modern customer journey, which starts long before a customer ever visits a website or store. 2.0 The Customer Journey: From First Glance to Final Click 2.1 Redefining the Starting Line Customer loyalty no longer begins at a company's digital or physical front door. It's now seeded much earlier in what can be called the "experience supply chain"—the connected sequence of interactions that moves a person from curious to committed. This journey often starts in the realm of indirect influence. Key "indirect influence" touchpoints include: A friend's recommendation A discussion thread on Reddit A product review on an independent site While price remains the single most significant factor for 69% of consumers when making a purchase decision, mastering these early stages of discovery and influence is critical for building the long-term commitment that defines true loyalty. 2.2 What Brands Can Do To win customers in this new landscape, brands must adopt a more holistic and proactive approach to the customer journey. Analyze the Journey: Use data analytics and AI to forensically examine every step of the customer life cycle. This allows you to identify and fix points of friction before they drive potential customers away. Embrace New "Front Doors": Treat online comment threads, product comparison sites, and even AI-generated search results as strategic entry points to your brand. These platforms are where modern discovery happens. Ensure Consistency: Align every touchpoint—from social media chatter to post-purchase support—with a cohesive brand narrative. This consistency builds the trust necessary for a customer to move from awareness to action. Understanding the full customer journey is the first step. The next is understanding what customers truly expect from a brand during that journey. 3.0 Beyond the Basics: What Customers Truly Value 3.1 Table Stakes vs. True Delight In the modern marketplace, fundamentals like fair pricing and product quality are no longer differentiators. They are simply "table stakes"—the minimum cost of entry to compete. The real opportunity for brands lies in their ability to layer personalized, meaningful value on top of these basics to create moments of true delight. Factor Considered a Minimum Expectation (%) Considered a Bonus (%) Good value for price 77% 19% Product/service quality 76% 20% Transparent business practices 58% 35% Personalized experiences 17% 62% However, many companies are struggling to keep up. A staggering 70% of executives feel that customer expectations are evolving faster than their company can adapt. This widening gap creates a significant risk of eroding customer trust and losing business to more agile competitors. 3.2 The Generational Lens Customer expectations are not one-size-fits-all; they vary significantly across generations. A strategy that delights one demographic may alienate another. Brands must segment their approach to meet these diverse needs. Boomers: This group is generally less likely to be influenced by a brand's social media presence or its sustainability efforts. Millennials and Gen Z: In contrast, these younger consumers pay close attention to a brand's values, online activities, and social impact. Successfully meeting these varied and rapidly evolving expectations increasingly involves technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence. 4.0 The AI Paradox: A Tool for Help and Hindrance 4.1 High Ambition, High Anxiety Artificial Intelligence represents the new frontier in customer engagement, but its rapid adoption has created a central paradox. While companies are rushing to implement AI-driven solutions, many customers remain wary. A majority of consumers (58%) report being "only somewhat or not at all comfortable" using AI tools to engage with brands. This suggests that AI implementation is often driven more by a company's internal ambition for efficiency than by genuine customer demand, creating a gap between what brands offer and what customers actually want. 4.2 Finding the Right Balance Consumer acceptance of AI is highly nuanced and depends heavily on the specific task. More Likely to Use AI for: Simple, transactional tasks like tracking an order or delivery status (49%). Less Likely to Use AI for: Sensitive interactions like making a payment (29%). Crucially, despite the rise of automation, 86% of consumers still say that human interaction is moderately or very important to their brand experience. The key insight for aspiring professionals is that successful brands don't choose between AI and human support; they integrate them. They use AI for efficiency where it adds value but provide clear, fast paths to human support when empathy, nuance, and judgment are required. This balance between technology and humanity extends to the data that fuels these systems, bringing the issue of privacy to the forefront. 5.0 The Data Dilemma: Balancing Personalization and Privacy 5.1 The Trust Trigger Personalization presents another paradox for modern brands: customers want it, right up until the moment they don't. The desire for a smooth, tailored experience often conflicts with concerns over data privacy, creating a delicate balancing act for companies. "More than half of consumers (53%) think that it's worth it to share personal information if it makes their experience interacting with a brand smoother. But mishandle that data and 93% say that a brand will lose their trust." This dynamic means that every personalization strategy carries a built-in "trust trigger." Respecting data boundaries is no longer just about legal compliance; it has become a powerful competitive advantage. 5.2 What Brands Can Do To navigate this dilemma, brands should adopt a set of core principles that build trust while delivering value. Focus on low-intrusion data: Prioritize using information like stated preferences and past purchases to tailor experiences. This provides value without crossing sensitive privacy lines. Be transparent: Clearly communicate what data is being collected and why. When customers see an immediate and tangible benefit in return, they are more likely to trust the exchange. Empower the customer: Give customers a sense of control over their data. When personalization feels like a choice, it becomes a driver of loyalty, not a red flag. By internalizing these lessons, companies can reshape their approach to building lasting customer relationships. 6.0 Actionable Principles for a Modern Customer Experience To succeed in today's landscape, aspiring professionals should focus on a set of core principles that connect the entire customer journey, from discovery to long-term loyalty. Treat discovery like a make-or-break moment. A customer's journey starts long before they visit your website. Design every early touchpoint as a seamless, story-driven experience. Rebuild loyalty based on behavior, not fantasy. Reassess loyalty programs based on real customer actions and measurable business goals, not assumptions. Segment smarter and personalize with purpose. Move beyond generic demographics to target customers by generation, behavior, and emotional triggers to deliver true relevance. Pair AI with empathy and know when to hand off. Use AI to streamline simple tasks, but ensure a quick and easy path to human support when nuance and empathy matter most. Win the moments that matter or lose customers. Identify the high-stakes moments in the customer journey where loyalty can be instantly won or lost, and design solutions to win them decisively. Turn privacy into a competitive advantage. Build trust by being transparent, providing clear value, and giving customers control over their personal data. Measure what actually moves the needle. Go beyond traditional metrics to track the behavioral, emotional, and financial impact of your customer experience initiatives. These seven principles are the foundational building blocks for anyone seeking to create the exceptional and effective customer experiences that define modern brands.   Source:  https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/consulting/business-transformation/library/2025-customer-experience-survey.html

Legendary 5Ds decks has been DELAYED?! Oh, and we talk about the Game Awards nominees, GameStop's weird "Trade Anything" day and the Word of the Year!

Ruslan Belkin (Head of Platform Engineering @ Inflection AI) joins us to deconstruct fundamental shifts in engineering leadership. We explore the future of user interfaces, his “sci-fi” approach to establish & test product vision, & how to leverage “investor decks” for better decision-making and project validation. Ruslan also dives into the complexities of building emotional intelligence into AI systems, cultivating an outcome-oriented engineering culture & avoiding process traps. Plus, we discuss how to keep up with the velocity of change (including when new research necessitates a major pivot), synthetic data & the future of data as a defensibility strategy, & why agent reliability is the massive opportunity ahead. ABOUT RUSLAN BELKINRuslan Belkin joined Inflection after co-founding Jelled.ai—acquired by Inflection in 2024—and previously served as CTO of Nauto. Earlier in his career, Ruslan held senior engineering roles at Twitter, LinkedIn, Netscape, and other pioneering Silicon-Valley companies, bringing more than two decades of experience at the intersection of data platforms and machine learning. SHOW NOTES:How leading engineering teams is evolving: Moving from code as the source of truth to specs/documentation as the source of truth (2:44)Why an eng org's good hygiene / health will create better output (5:12)A framework for product vision: Envisioning the future "viscerally" like a sci-fi novel, stress-testing assumptions, and focusing smart people on the problem (9:04)Hiring in the modern era: Why software engineering is becoming "tooling and data engineering" and the importance of hiring for openness to new research (18:20)Gen Z vs. Millennial engineers: Ruslan's observation that Gen Z is more outcome-oriented and has a lower tolerance for "corporate euphemisms." (22:24)Ruslan's favorite frameworks for effective decision making: Using an "investment deck" to validate projects, avoid disbelief and lack of focus. (25:19)Keeping up with the velocity of change: How to curate research inputs and determine when a new paper (like DeepSeek) requires a strategic pivot.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared opens part one of a powerful new series on what he calls the hidden epidemic—the widespread and silent impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on hormones, brain chemistry, metabolism, and long-term health. After more than a year and a half of deep research, Jared and his wife Jen have uncovered how these chemicals mimic hormones, block receptors, interfere with detox pathways, disrupt neurotransmitters, and contribute to challenges like fatigue, low motivation, stubborn weight gain, PMS, anxiety, sleep struggles, and declining testosterone in both men and women.This episode explains why the endocrine system is struggling more than ever, how EDCs create thyroid chaos, hormonal imbalance, and neurochemical disruption, and what steps you can begin taking right now to start clearing these compounds from your environment and your body. If you've been dealing with symptoms that “don't match” your lab work, if you've struggled to feel balanced despite doing the right things, or if you've suspected environmental chemicals may be affecting you or your family, make sure to listen to Part 2 and stay tuned for future episodes.

This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to⁠ outcomesrocket.com Diagnostic intelligence is transforming healthcare by turning lab testing from a cost center into a strategic asset.  In this episode, Dr. Julie Schulz, Vice President of Product at Avalon Healthcare Solutions, discusses how integrating diagnostics into value-based care can lead to improved quality, lower costs, and enhanced preventive medicine. She notes that physicians are overwhelmed by the rapid growth of genetic testing and evolving clinical guidelines, leading to cognitive overload and inefficiencies. Diagnostic intelligence, she explains, can alleviate this by identifying the right tests at the right time and automating prior authorizations, reducing treatment timelines from 60 days to just 15. Dr. Schulz emphasizes that diagnostics inform 70% of healthcare decisions, making their effective use vital for improving access and outcomes, particularly among underserved populations, and underscores that simplifying data and embedding clinical decision support earlier can benefit both patients and providers.

In this episode, Nina Olding, Staff Product Manager at Weights & Biases and formerly at Google DeepMind, working on trust and compliance for AI, joins Randy to explore the UX challenges of AI‑driven features. As AI becomes increasingly woven into digital products, the traditional UX cues and trust‑signals that users rely on are changing. Nina introduces her framework of the three “A's” for AI UX: Awareness, Agency, and Assurance, and explains how product teams can build this into their AI‑enabled products without launching a massive transformation programme.Key Takeaways— As AI features proliferate, the UX challenge is less about the technology and more about how users perceive, understand and trust the interactions.— Trust is based on three foundational dimensions for AI‑enabled products: Awareness, Agency, Assurance.— Awareness: Make it clear when AI is involved (and when it isn't). Invisible AI = risk of misunderstanding. Magical AI without context = disorientation.— Agency: Give users control, or at least the option to opt‑out, define boundaries, choose defaults vs advanced settings.— Assurance: Because AI can be non‑deterministic, you must design for confidence—indicators of reliability, transparency about limitations, ability to question or override outputs.Chapters00:00 – Intro: Why AI products are failing on trust00:47 – Nina Old's journey from Google DeepMind to Weights & Biases03:20 – The UX of AI: It's not just a chat window04:08 – Introducing the Three A's framework: Awareness, Agency, Assurance08:30 – Designing for Awareness: Visibility and user signals14:40 – Agency: Giving users control and escape hatches21:30 – Assurance: Transparency, confidence indicators, and humility28:05 – Three key questions to assess AI UX30:50 – The product case for trust: Compliance, loyalty, and retention33:00 – Final thoughts: Building the trust muscleFeatured Links: Follow Nina on LinkedIn | Weights & Biases | Check out Nina's 'The hidden UX of AI' slides from Industry Conference Cleveland 2025We're taking Community Questions for The Product Experience podcast.Got a burning product question for Lily, Randy, or an upcoming guest?

In this hol+ episode, Dr. Taz sits down with worlds leading nitric oxide researcher Dr. Nathan S. Bryan to ask hard questions about statin risk versus benefit, why cholesterol alone does not explain heart disease, and what is nitric oxide actually doing inside the body long before a heart attack or stroke. Together, they explore why low or no nitric oxide may be the missing piece behind rising blood pressure, plaque, and dementia, even in people who “follow the rules.”From the benefits of nitric oxide for blood flow, blood pressure, diabetes, and brain health to the surprising impact of antiseptic mouthwash and antacid medications, this conversation reframes cardiovascular and metabolic disease as problems of cell signaling, not just lab numbers. You will learn what nitric oxide is, what does nitric oxide do for the body, why nitric oxide importance is often ignored in standard care, and how to raise nitric oxide through lifestyle, targeted support, and emerging restorative therapies based on decades of nitric oxide research.Dr. Taz and Dr. Bryan discuss:New cholesterol guidelines, statins, and rethinking risk vs benefitWhat is nitric oxide and what does nitric oxide do for the bodyWhy low or no nitric oxide shows up decades before heart attacks and strokeThe benefits of nitric oxide for blood flow, blood pressure, and sexual functionNitric oxide diabetes link and why insulin resistance is often a nitric oxide problemMouthwash and nitric oxide, antacids, fluoride, and the oral microbiomeHow lifestyle, diet, movement, and nasal breathing raise nitric oxide naturallyWhy standard biomarkers are late and vascular function should be tested soonerNitric oxide importance in Alzheimer's, dementia, and brain blood flowHow to raise nitric oxide safely and what to know about supplements vs “dead beets”About Dr. Nathan S.

Welcome back to How to Grow My Small Business with Lindsay Fletcher where we build profitable businesses with faith, strategy and confidence! Andee Hart, host of She Sells Differently, joins host Lindsay Fletcher to talk about incorporating faith in business, selling in alignment with her Christian values, managing the resources that God has given us, and viewing earning money as gift from God to serve, help, and provide for the needs of others. Andee also shares about the psychology of product pricing and how a lower price doesn't always mean more sales.    Andee Hart is an energetic entrepreneur, sales strategist, mentor, and host of the podcast, She Sells Differently. While working as a sales executive for a Fortune 500 company, Andee started a passion project, Hart Design Co., of candle making in her own kitchen. What started out as a side hustle with her candles in a handful of local boutiques quickly blossomed into a wildly successful wholesale business and store-front. Within a year, Andee was able to transition from her corporate career to full-time entrepreneurship due to her tenacity, engaging social media presence, and counter-cultural strategies that enable her businesses to thrive in competitive markets. Andee's mission is to empower women to overcome sales anxiety and grow their businesses with integrity, grace, and humility.   Scripture References: Proverbs 31   Join our online community where you can connect with other Christian women in small business, share about your business every day of the week, and grow your business in community!  Join She Builds Collective: https://facebook.com/groups/shebuildscollective     Connect with Andee Hart: Website: https://andeehart.com Andee's Strategic Planner - https://andeehart.com/strategic-planner LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andeehart/  Hart Design Co Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hartdesignco/  Andee's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andeehart/   

This week, in Episode 271, we welcome another new voice to the podcast: Channon Kennedy, who takes us inside the side hustle that's become her second full-time job. Channon is the inventor and patent holder of the Morgan Square, a clever measuring tool—here's a demonstration—that's racking up awards, expanding its distribution, and carving out space for a woman founder in a traditionally male-dominated industry. This is a true bootstrap story. Channon's numbers are modest enough that she still does most of her own fulfillment at night after her day job as a banker—and she loves it. “Every time I get an order,” she says, “I feel like I'm wrapping a Christmas present. I'm just so excited that somebody wants something that I've created.” Plus: Paul Downs checks in with an update. After posting his best year ever in 2024, he was blindsided when sales suddenly stalled earlier this year, forcing him to lay off a third of his employees. Sales have since rebounded, but now he's staring at a backlog and a different dilemma: Does he hire aggressively to meet the higher demand—or play it safe until he sees how 2026 begins?

Today, we have a special episode correlated with Fraud awareness week, and brought to you by our friends at SEON - the command center for fraud prevention and AML compliance. SEON connects first party data signals to show you what other solutions can't - by enriching data, understanding context, and taking action from one place... to prevent fraud.In this episode, we are talking with Husnain "HB" Bajwa, SVP of Product & Risk Solutions. He has been a fraud and risk leader for 30+ years, and leads innovation in fraud prevention and compliance at SEON. HB is going to touch on important topics in the fraud detection and prevention space, such as AI, regulatory pressures, and the perspectives of startups that can get them into trouble.Questions:You've spent a lot of time in the world of fraud and compliance. What first drew you to solving these kinds of problems?Startups often focus on growth first and worry about fraud later. What's the hidden risk in that mindset?Why do you believe fraud prevention and AML compliance are converging, and what are the benefits of them living in the same system?AI gets talked about a lot, but in your view, what are the real, practical ways it's improving fraud and AML work today?We're seeing more regulatory pressure globally. How can organizations prepare for 2026 to ensure they are taking a risk-based approach to compliance?I know your team's been working on some big innovations, including a new compliance suite built on top of your fraud prevention stack and new AI-driven tools. How are these helping investigators connect the dots faster and uncover hidden relationships, especially when it comes to complex cases?What advice would you give to early-stage startups that might think they're ‘too small' to be targeted by fraudsters?Linkshttps://seon.io/https://www.linkedin.com/in/hbajwa/Our Sponsors:* Check out Incogni: https://incogni.com/codestory* Check out NordVPN: https://nordprotect.com/codestorySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story-insights-from-startup-tech-leaders/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
