Wine Talks with Paul Kalemkiarian
From Vineyards to AI: How Technology Is Shaping the Future of Wine with Laurent David.

Wine Talks with Paul Kalemkiarian

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 24, 2026 38:49


Wine and tech have had their disagreements. There are pundits on both sides of the fence of tech in wine and when I heard there was a LA Wine Tech booth at Wine Paris, I had to explore.  I reached out to the head guy (he doesn't really have a title), Laurent David to explore the opportunity to set up a podcast right there at the show. He agreed and here it is. Wine Paris has become one of the largest wine shows in the world, with over 6000 wine booths and dozens of seminars, let alone a chance to taste some of the most well known wines in the world, it is easy to understand the throngs of people who attend. Laurent David traded launching iPhones for nurturing vines—now that's what you call an unusual upgrade. On this episode of Wine Talks, you'll get a rare look at the crossroads where Apple-level tech meets centuries-old Saint-Émilion winegrowing, straight from Laurent David himself. But you won't just hear tales of grape and gadget; you'll discover why the wine world is not as disconnected from innovation as it seems. You'll learn how obsessive experimentation drives winemakers—giving them only one annual shot to perfect their art, unlike software engineers who can endlessly tweak. As Paul Kalemkiarian probes the evolving role of data, AI, and digital tools, you'll see how the experience of wine is being reshaped for a new generation, and why a can of Château Lafite may not be as far-fetched as it sounds. The conversation lifts the curtain on why "best wine" is subjective, how social media and influencers (hello, Taylor Swift!) can spark global trends, and the challenge of making wine approachable without killing its soul. You'll peek into the ways winemakers are using AI not just to streamline paperwork, but to connect emotionally—with WhatsApp vineyard updates and Instagram journeys. Whether it's demystifying labels with QR codes, developing consumer clubs inspired by Napa, or finding clever methods to anchor memories like a quiche from childhood, Laurent David and Paul Kalemkiarian reveal how the future of wine depends on blending digital savvy with human touch. By the end, you'll understand that tech is just the tool—the real goal is sparking happiness, creating moments, and keeping wine a "social potion" for generations yet to come.     https://youtu.be/RmgBN_VFU5A   #WineTalks #WineTech #LaurentDavid #PaulKalemkiarian #AIinWine #WineInnovation #WineExperience #WineParis #LAWineTech #DigitalWineSales #WineClubs #SaintEmilion #WineData #WineMarketing #WineTourism #WineIndustryTrends #WineAndMillennials #BlockchainInWine #WineStorytelling #WineAndTechnology

How To Structure A Tax-Efficient Management Entity

In this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson's Barley Bowler, CPA, and Eliot Thomas, Esq., address listener questions on a wide range of tax strategies for real estate investors, business owners, and healthcare professionals. They explain how seller financing affects the ability to use cost segregation and bonus depreciation under IRC Section 465's at-risk rules, and how a single-member LLC can recoup startup education costs through a C Corporation structure with shareholder loans. Barley and Eliot walk through the powerful tax advantages of setting up a management C Corporation over a Wyoming holding company — including medical reimbursements, accountable plan deductions, and W-2 solo 401(k) options. They cover what Medicare premiums and COBRA costs are reimbursable through a C Corp's medical reimbursement plan, how the Section 121 exclusion works for primary residence sales, and what options exist for mitigating a seven-figure business sale gain. Other topics include write-offs for uncollected insurance balances in healthcare practices, avoiding required minimum distributions by rolling into an employer plan, and electing pass-through entity tax in New York for investment partnerships. Tune in for expert guidance on these strategies and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: 7:18 — "How does the use of seller financing impact the ability to use strategies such as cost segregation and bonus depreciation?" Under IRC Section 465, your deductible losses are limited to the amount you have personally at risk. First phrase: "This is a great question. This covers a lot of different angles." 15:27 — "The business failed to make any profit in year 1. How are those initial costs recouped, and how much can be carried forward to future years?" A C Corp election allows full education deductions; fund via shareholder loan for tax-free recoupment. First phrase: "A single member LLC spent $9,500 on training and other related startup costs." 21:06 — "If I operate one LLC per real estate project, does it make sense to have a separate management entity to deduct shared expenses like an assistant, office costs, business meals, travel, and pre-development work? What's the correct tax structure?" A management C Corporation reduces rental income and allows tax-free reimbursements to the owner. First phrase: "If I operate one LLC per real estate project, does it make sense to have a separate management entity..." 27:45 — "What components of Medicare premiums are reimbursable by my property management C corporation?" Out-of-pocket Medicare and COBRA premiums qualify; general wellness supplements typically do not. First phrase: "What components of Medicare premiums are reimbursable by my property management C Corporation..." 38:10 — "If I sell my house, how long do I have to buy something else before I owe capital gains tax? Do I need to purchase the next home for more than the sale of the house or is there a percentage of that value?" Section 121 excludes up to $250K single or $500K married with no replacement property required. First phrase: "If I sell my house, how long do I have to buy something else before I owe capital gains tax?" 44:45 — "For my healthcare practice, where can I write off balances that insurance refuses to pay, and promotions/certain population deals where I give service discounts or free visits/supplement packages for charity events?" Cash-basis taxpayers cannot deduct uncollected income, and donated services are not tax-deductible. First phrase: "For healthcare practice, where can I write up balances? Insurance refuses to pay." 50:02 — "Can I avoid taking Required Minimum Distributions at age 73, if I roll over my retirement contributions from a previous employer's plan to my current employer's plan?" Rolling into a current employer plan may defer RMDs if you are not a greater-than-5% owner. First phrase: "Can I avoid taking required minimum distributions at age 73?" 53:12 — "Can an investment partnership elect the Pass Through Entity Tax in New York? What are the issues creating/dissolving investment partnerships?" New York allows any partnership to elect PTET, generating a valuable federal-level tax deduction. First phrase: "Can an investment partnership elect the pass through entity tax in New York?" 59:38 — "I sold my company, and I am coming into a 7-figure settlement soon. What can I do with that money to decrease my taxes?" Explore charitable remainder trusts, qualified opportunity zones, and capital loss harvesting strategies. First phrase: "I sold my company and I'm going to come into a seven figure settlement soon."

Send a textNeed customers to choose you before they even search? Crystal lays out a simple, gritty playbook for brand acceleration that doesn't rely on massive ad budgets: creative messaging that sticks, social content that compounds, and community presence that earns trust. If your feed is silent, your offers look generic, and your booth shows up empty-handed, this is your reset.We start by reframing branding from logos and wraps to feelings and expectations. Crystal shows how to rename forgettable promos into ownable offers anchored in your story—think a signature checkup named after your mascot or a savings plan with language only your company can claim. Tie colors, taglines, and causes together so every campaign reinforces your identity, not just your price. Then we move to social media—short videos, reels, lives, and stories—where volume and authenticity win. You'll hear why consistency beats polish, how to repurpose your best posts, and what to share about values, team moments, seasonal tips, and community work to build memorability and become a magnet for both customers and talent.Finally, Crystal maps a practical community strategy: show up where your ideal customer gathers with water stations, fun games, QR codes for a monthly newsletter, and a mascot that sparks photos and shares. Align with causes you genuinely support—teachers, veterans, animal rescues—so your presence feels real, not salesy. Run these three lanes together and watch your cost per lead drop as direct calls, branded searches, and referrals rise. It's not flashy; it's focused. It's not about outspending; it's about being unforgettable when urgency hits.If you're ready to turn attention into trust and trust into first calls, hit play, take notes, and start with one move today.

Tips from Trestle: The Senior Living Food & Hospitality Podcast

In this episode of Tips from Trestle, host Aaron Fish sits down with Chef Alan Velazquez, culinary director at Oaks Senior Living, live from the Georgia Senior Living Association (GSLA) Conference in Savannah. The conversation unpacks what makes independent living dining a fundamentally different — and often underserved — experience in senior care. Chef Alan shares proven strategies for elevating resident dining, including cross-utilization of ingredients, resident-driven menu building through a "Chef's Corner" model, and intentional kitchen design that blurs the line between care levels. He also explores QR code technology for RSVPs, smart revenue reinvestment, and his golden rule: "You can recoup a steak. You can't recoup service." Essential listening for senior living operators, executive chefs, food service directors, and culinary professionals seeking to use dining as a marketing and retention powerhouse.Tips from Trestle is sponsored by:eMenuChoice: https://bit.ly/TFT_eMenuWiseOx: https://bit.ly/TFT_WiseOxBen E Keith Foods: https://bit.ly/TFT_BEKAdvantageTrust GPO: https://bit.ly/TFTAdvTrust#TFT505 #SeniorLiving #SeniorDining #IndependentLiving #HospitalityFirst #SeniorLivingFood #ResidentExperience #CulinaryOperations #ActiveAdults #AgingWell #FoodServiceLeadership #SeniorLivingTrends #DiningInnovation #SeniorCareLeadership #FoodAsWellness

He also delves into his recent DBS controversy that has further complicated his career where there appears to be no accountability from those in power who simply create files without foundation. In this conversation, Dr. Dave discusses his ongoing legal battles stemming from harassment charges and the impact of GMC rulings being used to create DBS records and so ruining his career as a referee, highlighting the overreach of authority by the FA, the stalking and harassment he has faced, and the systemic issues within the medical profession regarding vaccine injuries.

In this New Year episode of The Six Figure Author Experiment, Lisa Vino and Russell Nolte are joined by David Viergutz, founder of Scare Mail and CEO of Epistolary.com, to talk about a business metric Lisa now can't unsee: AOV (Average Order Value). What begins as a direct-sales strategy conversation quickly turns into a masterclass on premium experiences, fandom-building, and escaping the tired publishing “rat race.” David shares how he went from running ads in the 20 Books / SPS model to building a thriving story-letter empire, why epistolary fiction is story-first or die, and how authors can experiment with higher-priced offers without losing the magic. The through-line: in a world flooded with AI and noise, the advantage is human creativity, bold formats, and products that feel like experiences.Topics Covered:* What AOV (Average Order Value) is and why it matters for direct sales* Thinking like a business owner without losing your author soul* David's origin story: list-building, ads, and long-term strategy* Why niche audiences can still generate massive success* “Taylor Swift pricing” as a mindset shift for premium offers* Why experiences sell: readers remember how something made them feel* The birth of Scare Mail: the mailbox as a storytelling medium* Epistolary fiction basics: letters, artifacts, rabbit holes, and immersion* Why some stories should never be “novelized”* Building a blue ocean: creating a category people can't comparison-shop* Why the most online generation craves print and human touch* How fandom deepens through participation and interactivity* “Move closer to the customer” as a modern business principle* Building a cult-level fanbase one person at a time* The “thousand true fans” concept applied to premium fiction* Author archetypes and why “aquatic” creators win by reinventing formats* Premium experiences that scale like books: create once, sell forever* The customer journey is the same for gum, books, and Teslas (attention is the difference)* Why Amazon's rules aren't the only axis you can play on* Why KU is not the whole market (and why authors mistake it for the whole audience)* Pricing power: increasing prices without dips when the experience is unique* The economics problem: $20 customer acquisition vs. $3.99 products* Direct sales advantages: owning the customer relationship and reducing noise* Indie presses and “algorithm rain” strategies that don't actually market* The Fire & Ice offer: two versions, premium pricing, and upsells to raise AOV* Why customers should pay shipping (and why authors often sabotage margins)* Risk reversal: refunding + buying a competitor's book as a bold trust play* Testing product ideas cheaply: MOQ realities and starting with paper-based artifacts* Story-letter fundamentals: hook the story first, then explain the delivery* The epistolary rule: if you can't explain “why letters?” start over* Artifacts defined: what counts, what works, and what's lazy filler* Examples of artifacts: polaroids, recipes, journal entries, QR codes, audio links, word searches, ribbons, puzzles* Designing artifacts to enhance story, not add envelope weight* The “scavenger hunt” model: clues, interaction, and layered payoff* Creativity as competitive advantage in an AI-saturated world* “Get weird” as strategy: uniqueness creates true blue-ocean differentiation* Where to find David and how to pitch an epistolary project This is a public episode.

Send a textGrowth isn't just more orders, more crews, and more hours. Real growth shows up when teams trust the process, managers stop micromanaging, and owners finally get their time back. We sit down with Shalisha Wood of GrowthOps Ally, to unpack how blue-collar businesses—sheds, carports, concrete, and beyond—turn day-to-day chaos into reliable, repeatable systems that boost retention and profit.Shalisha's story runs from a family-run food-ingredients company to supporting 11,000 tax offices as a product manager, then into fractional operations leadership. That arc shaped an approach built on respect for field expertise, simple tools that actually get used, and ruthless testing before rollout. She explains why technicians don't resist technology—they resist confusion—and shows how a few high-leverage moves change everything: weekly one-on-ones to catch issues early, time-saving admin shifts like direct deposit, and policies that are clear, bilingual, and easy to follow.We spotlight a concrete example you can copy: a digital time-off workflow using QR codes in the shop and in foreman trucks. Requests go in from smartphones, admins approve in minutes, and everyone gets automated confirmation. Adoption worked because crews helped shape the process, and documentation met them where they are. We also break down the real math behind fractional leadership. Instead of paying a full-time C-suite salary, you get senior strategy and hands-on execution that targets the two outcomes that matter—more revenue or lower costs—plus the hidden win of time back for sales, hiring, and quality control.If you're sprinting from $600k toward $1.5M and feeling every seam strain, this conversation gives you a pragmatic playbook: empower experts, co-design SOPs with the field, focus on simple ROI-driven tools, and measure what matters. Hustle can launch a business. Systems let it last. Subscribe, share this with a shop owner who needs a cleaner workflow, and leave a review with the one process you'll fix first.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Would you like to receive our weekly newsletter?  Sign up on our website.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:CALStryker Hunting BlindsCardinal LeasingIFAB

In this episode, host Ashley sits down with Nikki Weiss- digital thanatologist, project manager, and founder of Endevo, for a candid, eye-opening conversation about the intersection of caregiving, death planning, and our increasingly digital lives. Nikki brings not just professional expertise, but hard-won personal experience: she lost her father at 11, became her mother's primary caregiver at 21, later cared for her grandmother through dementia, and is now supporting her daughter as she navigates a caregiving role for her fiancé, diagnosed with stage four brain cancer.Together, they tackle the questions most families avoid and make the case for why starting the conversation early isn't morbid; it's one of the most loving things you can do.In This EpisodeWhat thanatology is and why the "digital" specialization matters more than everNikki's personal caregiving journey: losing both parents young and what that shaped in herThe "panini generation" why today's sandwich generation feels more squeezed than everWhy most caregivers wait until crisis to plan and the real cost of that delayThe project management approach to end-of-life planning: de-emotionalizing the process so families can actually do itHow to build a caregiving community instead of letting one person absorb everythingThe "silver wave" of late-life divorce and what it means for adult childrenDigital legacy: what happens to your phone, social media, subscriptions, and photos after you're goneGrief bots, digital avatars, and QR codes on headstones the emerging world of digital memorializationWhy you need a Digital Legacy Advance Directive alongside your will and medical POAThe Final Playbook: Nikki's framework for building a comprehensive end-of-life planKey Quotes"Live fully, die ready.

Key TakeawaysRespectful care panels provide invaluable opportunities for healthcare teams to hear directly from patients in a non-clinical setting, bridging the gap between provider intentions and patient experiences.Simple actions like sitting down when speaking with patients, using their names, and making eye contact can dramatically improve how patients perceive their care and feel respected, often requiring no additional time.When recruiting patient and family partners for panels, plan to invite at least twice as many participants as you hope to have attend, as last-minute conflicts with young children and family illnesses are common.Financial stipends for patient participation demonstrate that healthcare organizations value patients' time and opinions, and can be especially important for economically disadvantaged families.Creating comfortable environments for patient panelists through thoughtful seating arrangements, positioning trusted advocates nearby, and using welcoming body language helps facilitate honest, open dialogue.Patient panel members can become ongoing resources for healthcare teams, providing quick feedback on proposed changes and helping ensure patient-centered decision-making beyond the initial panel event.Increasing survey response rates through accessible methods like QR codes on discharge instructions is essential for gathering actionable feedback to improve patient experiences.Quotable Moments"I think the patient family just gives the medical team another look just to sometimes that you just don't think of it. You think you're doing everything that you should be doing, but things slip through the cracks and this panel is able to, you know, kind of point those out.""I feel very strongly that the best way to be patient-centered and to make patient-centered changes is to listen directly to the patients.""Her doctor took the time and she said that when he pulled up the stool and sit down and, and called her by name, which I thought was so funny, called her by name and began to go through the next step with her that that changed how she felt about what was going on.""It is interesting how much things that we as providers consider to be small changes can really make such a huge impact in how the patient perceives their care and how they feel.""The best way to take care of patients and give good patient care is to listen to your patients."I would wholeheartedly agree with inviting at least twice as many patient family partners as you would like to have in attendance because there will always be last minute things that come up in conflicts where they're not able to attend."Show Notes by Barevalue.No content or comments made in any TIPQC Healthy Mom Healthy Baby Podcast is intended to be comprehensive or medical advice.

Bloomin' Easy Plants with Madison House

This week, Joanne welcomes Madison House of Bloomin' Easy Plants to the podcast to talk about what makes gardening feel "easy" for newer gardeners and what's new in their plant lineup this year. About Bloomin' Easy Plants Bloomin' Easy finds stronger, more compact, longer-blooming genetics (often from European breeders), then trials plants for years in Canadian conditions before they ever reach garden centres. They also build support tools around each plant, such as QR-code care reminders, an app, a 24/7 chatbot ("Ask Miss Diggs"), and even "mental reality" previews, so shoppers can feel confident choosing the right plant for the right spot.  Topics Covered What Bloomin' Easy Plants is (and who it's for): a brand built to help casual/new gardeners succeed with approachable plants and simple guidance. How plants get to homeowners: breeders → Bloomin' Easy trials → propagators create "baby plants" → finished container growers → local garden centres/big box stores. Why "grown locally" matters: plants supplied by growers near your garden centre are more likely to be adapted to your climate (better survival and performance). Plant genetics and long trialing: many varieties are trialed 3–10 years to confirm hardiness, disease resistance, compact habit, and flowering performance. Support tools for success: QR tags with care reminders, an app, "Ask Miss Diggs" chatbot (with info backed by credible sources/universities), and "see it mature" preview tech. Boxwood challenges and replacements: discussion of boxwood blight and boxwood tree moth concerns, plus plants that can be shaped and used as alternatives. New/featured plants and why they stand out: Blue Box® (Rhododendron / "small-leaf rhodo") as a boxwood-like replacement with early blooms (magenta or light pink) and evergreen structure; prune right after flowering to avoid removing next year's buds. Hydrangea "Bubble Bath": a compact, mophead-style look; zone 3–8, 2–3 ft tall/wide; lime-tinged blooms fading to creamy white; great in pots due to tidy shape. Perennials expansion: Bloomin' Easy launched perennials about two years ago due to grower demand; perennials follow the same "compact and easy" standard. "Forged by Fire" (Silene): early spring bloomer with dark foliage and bright red flowers; compact (about 12–18 in), and noted as a native option with improved garden behaviour. Garden phlox varieties (e.g., Center of Attention, Confetti Cake): selected for long bloom and powdery mildew resistance in damp coastal trial conditions. Rudbeckia "Solar Sisters": a standout for rich colour and season-long bloom; treated as an annual in cooler zones if it's not hardy where you live. Industry-side support for garden centres: in-store display materials, a pro portal for assets, and staff/customer education events at partner garden centres. Zones are nuanced: even within the same neighbourhood, microclimates matter; tags include temperature info to make zone guidance easier. Takeaways and Tips "Right plant, right spot" beats "green thumb." Start with sun requirements, mature size, and your hardiness zone—most frustration comes from a mismatch, not failure. Buy within your zone (and your microclimate). If your yard is windy, exposed, or freeze/thaw heavy, choose hardier options or protect tender plants. Look for locally grown stock when possible. Plants finished by nearby growers are more likely to be tuned to your region's conditions. Use the tag tools. Scan QR codes for planting depth, spacing, and care reminders—especially helpful for first-timers. Boxwood alternative pruning tip: if you choose a spring-blooming "boxwood look-alike," prune right after it flowers so you don't remove next season's buds. Pot-to-ground trick for tender perennials/shrubs: enjoy them in containers, then plant them in the ground before freeze-up to overwinter (or treat as seasonal "annuals" if they're not hardy). When shopping, don't assume "perennial section" is hardy for you. Always check the tag for zone; some plants may be sold as seasonal colour in cooler climates. Find a retailer near you: Bloomin' Easy offers a retailer map on their site—use it to track down specific new varieties locally.

For the first show of 2026 and the fourth season of the Voice Of GO(r)D podcast project, I am very happy to bring you a discussion with Ike Stephens, the empresario behind the highly successful and very popular YouTube show, Bonehead Truckers.Ike has been documenting the decline of the American trucking industry via his hilarious and well done commentary videos, which highlight what happens when The Powers That Be take a trade which requires high levels of competency and operational acumen, and attempt to deskill it by flooding the market with hapless locals from the unemployment line, or with insourced labor that is likewise clueless. As of late, Ike has been pulling no punches with calling out everyone involved in allowing this sad state of affairs to take place.You can find Mr Stephens all over the place -https://www.youtube.com/@BoneheadTruckershttps://x.com/boneheadtruckrshttps://www.facebook.com/boneheadtruckershttps://www.instagram.com/boneheadtruckers/And if you will be at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky next month, March 26-28, you can come meet Ike in person - and I might even be at his exhibition location with copies of my book for sale.Speaking of the book - we are less than 6 weeks out from release, and my book is already doing numbers in various Amazon book categories. As of right now, End Of The Road was number ONE in Canadian Politics, number 13 in Libertarianism, and number ONE in Transportation Industry.The first two are curious, given that Canadian Politics only figure in the intro and final chapters, and I use the term ‘libertarian' but a small handful of times; the politics that comes through my arguments are all over the place - libertarian, conservative, labor left, populist … I like to think the book's politics defy categorization.And on that note, go ahead and pre-order for delivery to your door on March 24, or come meet me at MATS, where I will sign a copy for you, and you can pay cash for a steep discount.

The Dish on Health IT
Modernizing Health IT: CMS Pledges, AI and the Trust Foundation with Amy Gleason

In this episode of The Dish on Health IT, host Tony Schueth is joined by co-host Alix Goss and special guest Amy Gleason, Strategic Advisor to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Administrator of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Service, for a wide-ranging discussion on how health IT modernization is evolving under a pledge-driven, incentive-backed federal strategy.The conversation begins not with policy, but with lived experience.From Emergency Room to Interoperability AdvocateAmy shares how her early career as an emergency room nurse exposed the dangers of fragmented information. Providers were expected to make critical decisions without access to complete patient histories, while patients, often in pain or distress, were unrealistically asked to recall complex medical details.That professional frustration became deeply personal when her daughter went more than a year without diagnosis for a rare autoimmune disease, juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Multiple specialists saw pieces of the puzzle, but no one could see the full picture across charts and settings. Amy reflects that if today's AI tools had been applied to her daughter's complete longitudinal record, the condition may have surfaced sooner.That experience shaped her philosophy. Technology must converge with policy and trust in ways that tangibly improve care.Why Pledges Instead of Rules?Tony presses on a central theme. Amy has argued that we cannot regulate our way to success. Why pursue voluntary pledges instead of federal rulemaking?Amy explains her frustration returning to government in 2025 to find interoperability policies she helped draft in 2020 still not fully effective until 2027. Seven years is an eternity in technology. Meanwhile, the industry had technically complied with numerous mandates including Meaningful Use, Cures Act APIs and CMS interoperability rules, yet many workflows still felt broken.In her view, regulation created a floor but not always real transformation.The CMS Health Tech Ecosystem Pledge was launched as a different model. The federal government used its convening power to articulate a clear vision and challenge industry to deliver minimum viable products within six to twelve months rather than years.Initially announced with roughly 60 companies, the pledge initiative has grown to more than 600 participants collaborating in working groups. The three initial patient-focused use cases include:Improving data interoperability“Killing the clipboard” through digital identity and QR-based sharingLeveraging conversational AI and personalized recommendations for chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesityAmy describes live demonstrations at a Connectathon showing OAuth-enabled data retrieval, QR ingestion into EHR workflows and AI-powered recommendations built on patient data. The goal is not perfection by the first milestone, but real-world minimum viable functionality that can iteratively improve.Alix notes that from the standards community perspective, this approach feels aligned with long-standing calls for industry-driven collaboration, though it remains early to measure widespread impact.Carrots, Sticks and Rural HealthThe discussion turns to incentives.Amy outlines the administration's carrots and sticks strategy:Stick: Enforcement of information blocking, with penalties up to $2 million per occurrenceCarrots: Financial incentives such as the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program and the CMS ACCESS Model, which pays for technology-enabled outcomesThe Rural Health Transformation Program directs money to states with expectations that ecosystem-aligned interoperability and app participation be incorporated into funding proposals. CMS retains oversight and clawback authority to ensure funds support rural providers.The ACCESS Model represents a significant shift. Technology-enabled care platforms can register as Medicare Part B providers and be paid for measurable outcomes in tracks such as cardiometabolic disease, musculoskeletal conditions and behavioral health. Providers remain in the loop and receive compensation for referral and care plan oversight.Alix underscores that rural providers face steep financial and workforce constraints. Standards participation, implementation and technology upgrades require resources that are often scarce. The success of these incentives will depend on whether they reduce burden rather than add to it.AI: Evolution, Risk and RealityAI becomes a central thread of the episode.Amy compares AI adoption to autonomous vehicle models. Some scenarios allow tightly controlled automation, such as medication refills, while others require a human in the loop for higher-risk decisions. She points to a Utah prescription refill pilot as an example of bounded automation, where malpractice coverage and clearly defined use cases mitigate risk.When Tony asks who owns risk in this evolving landscape, Amy emphasizes the need for light but clear regulatory pathways rather than fragmented state-by-state oversight.Patients, she notes, are already there. Millions are asking health-related questions weekly through AI tools. The more pressing issue is ensuring those tools are grounded in structured medical data rather than incomplete memory or unverified inputs.She shares a striking story. Her daughter was excluded from a clinical trial due to a misclassification of ulcerative colitis. By uploading her records into an AI model, they identified a more precise diagnosis, microscopic lymphocytic colitis, which did not disqualify her from the trial. For Amy, this demonstrates both the power and inevitability of AI use.Alix adds caution. AI is only as strong as the data beneath it. Dirty, inconsistent and poorly structured data limits performance. Standards and terminologies remain essential to fuel high-fidelity models and safeguard trust.FHIR, Deregulation and the Data FoundationThe conversation addresses an emerging tension. If regulatory burdens are being reduced, does that signal less need for structured standards like FHIR?Amy candidly admits she initially wondered whether AI might reduce the need for FHIR altogether. After discussions with labs and technologists, she concluded the opposite. Standardized data dramatically improves AI performance and reduces error.Deregulation is about removing unnecessary burden, not abandoning foundational data structures.Alix reinforces that FHIR enables discrete, normalized data capture that supports both legacy transactions and AI evolution. While future innovations may emerge, today FHIR remains the backbone for scalable interoperability.Prior Authorization and HIPAA ModernizationThe episode dives into prior authorization modernization across medical and pharmacy domains.Amy notes growing interest among pledge participants to expand into pharmacy prior authorization testing, diagnostic imaging, real-time benefit checks and bulk FHIR performance testing.Alix provides insight into ongoing work within the Designated Standards Maintenance Organizations to incorporate FHIR-based approaches into HIPAA-named standards, particularly for prior authorization. She highlights testing beyond Connectathons, including implementer communities and real-world pilot efforts.Both stress the importance of public comment periods and industry engagement, describing participation as a civic responsibility for health IT professionals.Trust as the Core EnablerThe final segment centers on trust.Amy explains that the ecosystem initiative aims to reinforce trust through:Stronger digital identity verification such as Clear, ID.me and Login.govCertification frameworks such as CARIN and DIME for patient-facing appsA new national provider directory to replace fragmented provider data sourcesTransparency dashboards showing data requests, volumes and purposeRather than replacing frameworks like TEFCA, she describes the pledge model as an accelerator layered above the regulatory floor.Transparency acts as sunlight, enabling visibility into who is accessing data and for what purpose.Final TakeawaysIn closing, Amy urges providers not to sit on the sidelines. Too often, she says, providers feel change is imposed on them. The pledge environment is designed as an open forum where they can directly shape what works or does not work in real workflows.Alix echoes the call. Standards require participation. Organizations must allocate budget and staff to engage, comment and collaborate. It truly takes a village.Tony concludes by framing the episode's core message. Regulation establishes baseline expectations, but voluntary movements can demonstrate what is possible before mandates reach the Federal Register.Across pledges, payment reform, AI evolution and trust frameworks, the episode underscores a consistent theme. Modernization in health IT depends not only on policy direction, but on shared accountability and active participation from every stakeholder in the ecosystem.Listeners are reminded that POCP is available to support organizations in understanding the implications of federal initiatives, enforcement priorities and their strategic implications. Reach out to us to set up an initial consultation. The episode closes, as always, with the reminder that Health IT is a dish best served hot.Prefer video? Catch episodes on the POCP YouTube channel

Sharon and Tony Stockman are a totally blind couple that booked a 19-day voyage with Cunard cruises. They submitted their access requirements way in advance, but it all didn't quite go to plan when they stepped on board. With the help of the Independent's travel correspondent Simon Calder, In Touch assesses their case. Eilidh Morrison has launched a campaign that aims to help more visually impaired people better identify ultra-processed food, with the help of specialist QR codes. Eilidh outlines how it can often be difficult to read the ingredients within food packaging due to its small print size and so she is proposing more products feature NaviLens. Jose Castejon of NaviLens provides information about how the codes work and how viable Eilidh's campaign idea is.Presenter: Peter White Producer: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Helen Surtees Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image and he is wearing a dark green jumper.

Nos venden el futuro eléctrico como un cielo azul, un mundo sin humos y con pajaritos cantando. La narrativa oficial de la Unión Europea nos empuja hacia el 2035 como la fecha de nuestra salvación climática, pero en ingeniería sabemos que la energía (y la contaminación) no desaparece por arte de magia; simplemente cambia de sitio. Hoy no vamos a hablar de autonomías ni de si el cargador de tu barrio funciona o no. Hoy vamos a viajar a ese futuro idílico para plantear la pregunta que los anuncios de coches esquivan: ¿Dónde vamos a meter los millones de toneladas de baterías muertas que están por venir? Para el año 2030, se calcula que tendremos 11 millones de toneladas de baterías llegando al final de su vida útil. Estamos ante un tsunami de residuos para el que, sencillamente, no estamos preparados. El mito de la economía circular y la trampa del LFP. El dinero mueve el mundo, y en el reciclaje no es diferente. Hasta hace poco, las baterías de litio utilizaban mezclas de Níquel, Manganeso y Cobalto (NMC). Como el cobalto y el níquel son carísimos, reciclarlas era rentable: sacabas "oro" de su interior. Sin embargo, la industria está virando masivamente hacia las baterías de Litio Ferrofosfato (LFP) porque son más baratas y seguras. El gran problema oculto es que, al no contener esos metales valiosos, el coste de reciclarlas es superior al valor de los materiales que recuperas. Es como intentar reciclar un vaso de plástico gastando más energía y dinero de lo que cuesta fabricar uno nuevo. La "Masa Negra" y el colonialismo tóxico Cuando una batería llega a la planta de tratamiento, se tritura para obtener la llamada "Black Mass" o Masa Negra. Es un polvo oscuro, una mezcla de litio, cobalto y grafito altamente tóxica. Para separar estos componentes existen dos vías: la pirometalurgia (quemarlas a 1.500 grados, lo cual emite gases que hay que filtrar y pierde el litio) y la hidrometalurgia (bañarlas en ácidos potentes como el sulfúrico). Aquí es donde entra la hipocresía europea. Como el proceso es sucio y genera residuos químicos ingentes, Europa apenas tiene capacidad para refinar esta masa. ¿La solución actual? Meterla en barcos y mandarla a Asia. El desafío extremo para los desguaces. Los Centros Autorizados de Tratamiento (CAT) están preocupados. Un coche de gasolina siniestrado es un trozo de hierro inerte una vez que le quitas los líquidos. Un coche eléctrico es una bomba latente. Si las celdas están dañadas, pueden entrar en "fuga térmica" (Thermal Runaway) días o semanas después del accidente. Un fuego de batería de litio es casi imposible de apagar; no basta con agua, a veces hay que sumergir el coche entero en una piscina durante 48 horas. Esto ha provocado que muchos desguaces se nieguen a aceptarlos o cobren tarifas prohibitivas porque sus seguros contra incendios se han disparado. El pasaporte de baterías de 2027. La Unión Europea implementará en 2027 el "Pasaporte Digital de Baterías". Cada unidad tendrá un código QR con su historial y su estado de salud (SOH). Aunque la intención es buena (evitar el cobalto de minas ilegales), esto herirá de muerte al mercado de segunda mano. Si quieres vender tu coche tras ocho años y el QR marca que la salud de la batería está por debajo del 70%, tu coche pasará a valer cero euros de forma instantánea. El timo de la "Segunda Vida" y la minería urbana A menudo oímos que las baterías de los coches servirán para almacenar energía solar en las casas. Es una idea preciosa para las memorias de sostenibilidad, pero un reto logístico y de seguridad titánico. Mezclar paquetes de baterías de diferentes fabricantes, estados de salud y químicas para crear acumuladores fiables es, a día de hoy, un proyecto que solo sobrevive gracias a las subvenciones. Por otro lado, se habla de la "minería urbana" como la solución para no abrir más agujeros en la tierra. Pero la demanda de baterías crece un 30% anual y el retorno de baterías viejas es mínimo porque el parque eléctrico aún es joven. Esto significa que seguiremos dependiendo de minas a cielo abierto en China, Australia o África durante las próximas dos décadas. Conclusión El coche eléctrico tiene ventajas locales innegables: silencio, par motor y ausencia de humos en nuestras calles. Pero no seamos ingenuos. El problema de los residuos es la gran bomba de relojería de la próxima década. Si no estandarizamos la fabricación para que el reciclaje sea sencillo y rentable, y si no dejamos de exportar nuestra basura al tercer mundo, el sueño verde se convertirá en una pesadilla negra. Como siempre, la factura final la pagaremos nosotros, los usuarios de a pie.

QR codes on billboards. That's how this started. Just a simple “Free Burrito” sign in Chicago and suddenly we're debating whether scanning it while driving is basically vehicular manslaughter with salsa.Today's daily comedy show kicks off with the crew breaking down whether QR codes on billboards should be banned, if “free” really means free, and why Moon now thinks every QR code is secretly a hacker in disguise. (Airport menus? Stressful. Free weed stickers? Suspicious. Free burritos? Risky but delicious.)From there, things escalate — as they always do — into romantic red flags vs. grand gestures. Is buying an expensive gift early in a relationship sweet… or a cry for help? Is a “Good Morning ❤️” text every single day cute… or suffocating? And if someone writes you a love song after two dates, do you marry them or file a restraining order?Then it gets dangerous.The Celebrity Crush Test. Ladies, we see you. Fellas, it's a trap. The crew breaks down why asking “Who's hotter, me or Brad Pitt?” is the relationship equivalent of stepping on a rake on purpose. We debate safe answers, gay-crush loopholes, and why naming someone who's been dead for 40 years might be your safest bet.And because this is a professional operation (it is not), we somehow spiral into discovering cardiophilia — yes, a heartbeat fetish — courtesy of Tumblr's chaotic history. You're welcome.As if that's not enough, single women in New York are apparently ditching dating apps and heading straight to Medieval Times to flirt with knights in shining armor. Is this genius?

This special Saturday episode of the Very Dental Podcast is all about the upcoming Chicago Midwinter Dental Meeting! Alan Mead sits down with Dr. Phil Schefke, President of the Chicago Dental Society (CDS), to preview the 2026 Midwinter Meeting. Whether you're a 30-year veteran of the meeting or a dental student looking for your first experience, this episode dives into why Chicago remains the premier destination for dental innovation, collegiality, and—believe it or not—puppies. The Guest: Dr. Phil Schefke Dr. Schefke serves as the President of the Chicago Dental Society, the largest component of the ADA. With a board of 15 members and a dedicated staff, Phil has spent nearly a decade on the leadership ladder to help orchestrate a meeting that hosts attendees from all 50 states and over 60 countries. What's New at the Midwinter Meeting? The CDS team has spent three years redesigning the attendee experience based on direct feedback. Here are the new features and highlights discussed in this episode: Streamlined Registration: No more waiting for badges in the mail. Attendees will receive a QR code to print their badges at self-service stations at McCormick Place or at three partner hotels (Hyatt Regency on Wacker, Hyatt McCormick, and Marriott McCormick). Enhanced Exhibit Floor Layout: The floor has been redesigned with shorter aisles for easier mobility and "crisscross" navigation. Refresh & Recharge Stations: Scattered throughout the floor, these areas offer water and phone charging ports to keep you hydrated and connected. Grab-and-Go Dining: New food stations on the exhibit floor designed for quick lunches between CE courses. The "Hadley" Puppy Corner: A dedicated space in the back of the exhibit hall to play with puppies and melt away the stress of the day (named after the first CDS president). Early Career Dentist Lounge: A comfortable space featuring couches and networking opportunities specifically for the next generation of clinicians. CDS "Swag" Booth: For the first time, attendees can purchase official CDS-branded jackets, sweaters, and coffee cups. Tech Upgrades: A brand-new, intuitive registration system that prevents double-booking courses and high-quality, reliable Wi-Fi throughout the venue. On-Site Mobile Clinic: The Illinois Masonic Hospital will have their mobile dental van on the floor for tours and demonstrations. Free Professional Headshots: Available at the CDS footprint for attendees to update their professional profiles. Special Events & Keynotes Thursday: Keynote speaker Chris Chelios, three-time Stanley Cup champion, discussing leadership and championship-level teamwork. (Plus, Garrett's Popcorn giveaways!) Friday: "Sip, Suds, and Sales" (beer and wine on the exhibit floor) followed by the Beats and Bites DJ party. Saturday: The traditional President's Dinner Dance, a black-tie event featuring a live band to celebrate the week's successes. The "Fourth Level" of Dentistry Alan and Phil discuss the "secret sauce" of CDS membership. At just $125 (for ADA members), membership provides free registration to the meeting, offering incredible value compared to standard registration fees.

As more small businesses move sales, payments, and customer relationships online, they unlock new opportunities, but they also become easier targets for cyber-criminals and other threat actors.In this episode of Local to global: The power of small business, host JJ Ramberg sits down with Shamina Singh, Founder & President of the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, and Brian Cute, Interim CEO and Director of Capacity & Resilience at the Global Cyber Alliance, to explore what Southeast Asia's fast-growing digital economy reveals about the cybersecurity challenges facing micro, small and medium-sized businesses everywhere.Together, they unpack what cyber-risk looks like on the ground, from phishing, ransomware, and malware to low-tech scams like QR-code sticker switching. They also examine why the damage rarely stays local; when a small supplier gets hit, disruptions can cascade through regional networks and even global supply chains.The good news is that their collaboration in Southeast Asia is also surfacing solutions that the rest of the world can borrow. Singh and Cute share what works, including public-private partnerships that deliver practical toolkits, localized training, and basic cyber hygiene that businesses can adopt, especially as AI-driven fraud and deepfakes make scams harder to spot.Local to global: The power of small business is a podcast series from GZERO Media's Blue Circle Studios and Mastercard, exploring why small businesses are poised to play an even bigger role in the future of the global economy. Host: JJ RambergGuests: Shamina Singh, Brian Cute Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.
