In this episode, Noz Urbina interviews Ilya Venger, Data and AI Product Leader at Microsoft, to deliver a masterclass in practical AI implementation for business leaders. Ilya addresses the trillion-dollar question facing every executive: Should we build our own AI solution, buy off-the-shelf, or wait for the technology to mature? His answer: it depends on understanding your specific business problems, not chasing shiny technology. Key Takeaways The 80% Solution: Ilya reveals that AI systems work correctly about 80% of the time. Success isn't about perfecting that last 20% through expensive fine-tuning – it's about redesigning processes to work with AI's probabilistic nature. As Noz puts it, “If you create a workflow with zero tolerance for error, you've designed a bad process.” The Fine-Tuning Trap: Ilya shares cautionary tales of companies spending millions to fine-tune models for specific problems (like the “six finger problem” in image generation), only to watch base models solve these issues within 18 months. His stark example: a model fine-tuned to be cheaper than GPT-4 became pointless when GPT-4's price dropped tenfold. Data Reality Check: Both speakers agree that most organizations have “data heaps” – disconnected silos without understanding or metadata. Ilya's metaphor: “You've got gold nuggets in a dark room. You need to turn on the lights first.” Organisations must understand their data landscape before implementing any AI solution. The Build vs. Buy Decision Framework: Build (Fine-tune): Only when you have extremely specific tasks with proprietary data (like recognizing manufacturing equipment or crop diseases) Buy: For most use cases, using off-the-shelf models with good system prompts and workflow design Wait: When your problem might be solved by next quarter's model improvements What you'll learn The build, buy, or wait decision framework – Clear criteria for when to fine-tune models (specific tasks with proprietary data), buy off-the-shelf solutions (most use cases), or wait for base models to improve Master the 80% solution – Why AI works correctly 80% of the time and three strategies to handle failures: improve the AI, modify your processes, or introduce human oversight Avoid the million-dollar fine-tuning trap – Real examples of why custom models become obsolete within 18 months and when fine-tuning makes sense Turn your “data heaps” into AI gold – How to assess and organize disconnected data silos before implementing AI, plus why most organizations fail at this critical first step Design systems, not magic genies – Why thoughtful system prompts and workflow design deliver 10x better ROI than chasing the latest AI model Handle AI's “alien” failure modes – Understand how probabilistic systems fail differently than traditional software and build processes that expect interpretation errors Find your real competitive edge – Why your IP isn't in having a custom model but in process design, context setting, and treating AI as “10,000 eager interns” Know when waiting beats racing – Recognise when today's expensive problem (like the “six finger problem”) will be solved by next year's base models

Today, we're speaking to Dr Sara Noden, a GP with an extended role in ADHD, and Dr Nishi Yarger, Consultant Psychiatrist in adult ADHD services.Title of paper: A guide for primary care clinicians managing ADHD medication side effectsAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/bjgp25X742653TranscriptThis transcript was generated using AI and has not been reviewed for accuracy. Please be aware it may contain errors or omissions.Speaker A00:00:00.320 - 00:00:55.720Hello and welcome to BJGP Interviews. I'm Nada Khan and I'm one of the associate editors at the bjgp. Thanks for listening to this podcast today. In today's episode, we're speaking to Dr.Sara Noden, a GP with an extended role in ADHD, and Dr. Nishi Yarger, consultant psychiatrist in Adult ADHD Services.We're talking about the recent Clinical Practice article here in the BJGP titled A Guide for Primary Care Clinicians Managing ADHD Medication Side Effects. So, thanks. It's great to meet you both Sara and Nishi.This is a really topical area to highlight in the journal, and not least because it seems that every week there seems to be a new article in the media about the increasing diagnosis of adhd. So it's a really topical area to look at, but I guess, Sar, I just really wanted to start with what prompted you to write this article and why now?Speaker B00:00:56.620 - 00:01:39.320Yeah, so I think coming from a GP perspective, before I specialized in adhd, I think these medications did create a bit of anxiety, especially as they're controlled drugs, their stimulants, their specialist medications, and there was a lot that I didn't know about them as I since developed a special interest and it sort of demystified some of these medications. And I just.I think we wanted to pass on to primary care clinicians some of that knowledge that we've learned, some really basic things that they can look out for that may or may not be related to medications and some common things that they can advise and to know when to escalate secondary care and how to manage these patients, essentially.Speaker A00:01:39.560 - 00:01:54.040Yeah. And Saura, I wonder if you could just tell us a bit more about your role as a GP with an extended role in adhd.So you must be very much in demand at the moment, but talk us through what led you to sort of take that role and what your typical week is like.Speaker B00:01:54.320 - 00:02:58.810Yeah, So I think my interest in ADHD stemmed during my training years and I currently am working as a salary GP, but also working at CNWL under Dr. Jaga. I'm doing diagnosis and medication titrations. And I think my interest stemmed because of how prevalent ADHD is becoming.I was seeing such an increase in patients presenting to gp, suspecting they have ADHD and requesting referral, and reading about this treatment and what we can offer, I was really taken aback by not only how ADHD can impact a patient in terms of their symptoms and concentration of focus, but also the lifelong issues that can arise sometimes with adhd, like all the Research showing that it increases rates of depression, underachievement at school, even early death and accidental injuries. So I feel it's a really important, important condition for us to be able to pick up, to be able to refer promptly and start treatment.And that's where the interest started.Speaker A00:02:59.050 - 00:03:14.570And, Nishi, from your perspective, what's it like having a GP working with your team?And from a secondary care perspective, I wonder if you...

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?Long term listener, Cathy, has asked us some very heartfelt and important questions about how to support her teen at university. It's an excellent topic for us to tackle since Susie currently has one at university, I have one about to go, and two who have already graduated, one of whom gave me some excellent tips.It's a topic that evokes mixed-emotions for everyone.Here's what Cathy wrote:Please 'discuss how best to support your teen as they go off to university and live away from home for the first time. How about if they don't like their roommate, or they have difficulty sharing a room, or they have problems adjusting academically and or socially to university and they want to come home? Any tips for success?'We'll be digging into those questions and more. We'll look at the dropout rates to get an idea of what goes wrong.what challenges students face — from social pressure to mental health — and what you can do now to prepare your teen not just to survive university, but to thrive. We also share practical tips — like life skills they should master before they go, what kind of support they need once they're there, and how to let go without disappearing completely.So, whether your teen is packing their bags this summer or just starting to explore their options, this episode will give you real tools to support them — and yourself — during one of the biggest transitions in family life.What struck me was that kids who start out well tend to have much higher rates of completion than those who struggle at the offset. It may seem obvious, but it's a very useful indicator of how important those early days and weeks are. It fits very neatly with the work of Dr Gregory Walton, Ordinary Magic, who featured in last week's episode. He says there are deep questions we ask at key points in life. These points are TIC's.T: Transitions in life.I: Points at which our Identity as at stake.C: When we have big Challenges. Often we are not conscious of these questions, but they can play havoc with our lives if we don't deal with them. The two big questions that comes up for university joiners are:Do I belong?Can I do this?PRINCIPLES FOR THIS FROM ORDINARY MAGIC:1 - Avoid negative labels. (I'm not bad)2 - You're not the only one. (It's normal)3 - Recognise causes taht don't malign you or others. (These are real obstacles for me)4 - Forecast improvement. (It can get better)5 - Recognise opportunities (Look for options and silver linings) I willSupport the showThank you so much for your support.

French officials have played down speculation that President Emmanuel Macron will recognise a Palestinian state imminently. But he is co-chairing a summit in New York with Saudi Arabia, to discuss the future for Palestinians and a two-state solution to the conflict in Gaza. Former French ambassador Michel Duclos thinks France has to follow through on reports it is about to recognise a Palestinian state, or lose credibility on the world stage.The World in 10 is the Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.

Over 60% of Canadian trans adults rate their mental health as fair-to-poor and are twice as likely to avoid seeking primary care. Avoidance isn't random – it's the predictable outcome of everyday micro-aggressions, systemic barriers, and what psychologists call minority stress. This podcast will name those forces of avoidance and offer trauma-informed counter-moves family physicians can use on the front line to support their 2SLGBTQ+ patients.    Learning objectives:    By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to: 1. Explain the minority‑stress model and its relevance to everyday family practice. 2. Recognise three common clinic‑level micro‑aggressions that fuel avoidance behaviour. 3. Apply trauma‑informed communication skills that transform micro‑aggressions into micro‑affirmations.

What if everything we believe about finding love is designed to keep us searching instead of finding? This episode debunks some of the worst common advice and showcases what's genuinely useful. It might start with you. The people most focused on finding the perfect partner often remain alone, while those focused on becoming the right partner tend to attract extraordinary relationships. Shift from scarcity-based dating to abundance-based connection: Understand "optimal search theory" Focus on shared vision for the future rather than identical current interests Recognise that generosity and a growth mindset matter more than initial chemistry If you find someone, will you recognise them when you do?

What if the most powerful thing you can do as a parent… is let go? Today’s episode dives into one of the most radical and relieving ideas in parenting: trusting your child’s natural development. Drawing on powerful research from McGill University, Dr Justin explores why pushing less can actually lead to more—less stress, more confidence, fewer behavioural issues, and healthier relationships. Learn how to spot the traps of controlling parenting and discover the four key ingredients to raising capable, self-motivated kids—without the pressure. KEY POINTS The Research: A 2008 study by Landry et al. found that parents who trust their children’s natural development feel more competent, enjoy parenting more, and have children with fewer behaviour problems. Trust ≠ Permissive Parenting: It’s not about doing nothing—it’s about guiding without controlling, believing that your child has an innate drive to grow and learn. The Stress Trap of Controlling Parenting: When parents feel responsible for every part of a child’s progress, they become ego-involved. This leads to micro-managing, overstimulation, and undermines the child’s self-motivation. Four Core Practices of Trust-Based Parenting: Explain why – Not just "because I said so" Validate feelings – Acknowledge the struggle without removing limits Offer real choices – Not manipulative options, but genuine autonomy Minimise control – Step back from bribes, threats, and pressure Cultural Insight: Norwegian mums, with more social support, showed higher trust in natural development than Canadian mums—highlighting how systemic pressure affects parenting mindset. Trust Leads to Growth: Kids with trusting parents show better self-regulation, higher intrinsic motivation, and fewer behavioural problems. They trust their own capabilities—because their parents do. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “The most radical thing you can do as a parent might be to trust your child.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Landry et al. (2008) study on trust in development The Parenting Revolution by Dr Justin Coulson happyfamilies.com.au – Parenting resources and support ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Stop Comparing Ditch the charts, milestone checklists, and other kids' timelines. Trust your child’s rhythm. Pause Before You Push Ask: “Is this about my child—or my anxiety?” Shift from Director to Facilitator Create opportunities, then step back and let your child take the lead. Use the Four Trust Tools: Give reasons Recognise feelings Offer choices Minimise control Remember the Long Game Development isn’t a race. If you're planting seeds, don’t keep digging them up to see if they’re growing. Just nurture, support—and trust. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?Wouldn't it be great if we knew when and how we parents and teachers can make a massive long-term difference by doing something relatively small? What if we could catch those moments that might set off either an upward or downward spiral, and help our kids find the best path?Well, that's what this episode is all about. Dr Gregory Walton has been described as 'one of psychology's greatest architects of how to change behaviour for good', and 'one of the most important psychologists in a generation'. He is co-director of Harvard's Dweck-Walton lab and coined the term 'Wise iInterventions'; things we can do or say that hit the spot just at the point when another person is asking one of life's fundamental questions. His new book is called, Ordinary Magic. It's all about the science of how we can achieve big change with small acts. These are things that go much further than the small nudges that help people to make better choices. This is the sort of deep magic that can last a lifetime. Contact Dr Greg Walton: https://www.gregorywalton.com/CORE QUESTIONS:Can I do it?Do I belong?Am I enough?Who am I?Do you love me?Can I trust you?KEY POINTS AT WHICH CORE QUESTIONS TEND TO CROP UP: TIF'sTransitionsIdentity ChallengesTHE PRINCIPLES FOR THINKING THROUGH 'BAD' EVENTS:Avoid negative labels (I'm not bad)You're not the only one; you're never the only one.

This episode explores the complex landscape of receiving advice in your career, particularly during uncertain times. It offers insights on how to critically evaluate feedback and external information, prepare for potential negative outcomes outside of your control, and adapt your focus to thrive in a changing industry.Explore why the vast amount of advice you receive throughout your career, including feedback from bosses and peers, platitudes, anecdotes, data, opinions, and facts, will shape your thinking.Discover that even people you trust and consider authoritative may give advice you shouldn't listen to. Sometimes, all the positive signals and feedback you receive may not predict negative career events like layoffs or not getting a promotion.Learn not to stop listening to feedback, but instead listen for themes and common threads that resonate with your gut intuition.Understand the importance of contextualising people's assertions, testing them, and putting them through the wringer. However, even when following great advice and testing it, you might still experience negative events like a layoff, as luck and chaos agents are often at the helm and are not under your control.Discover why it is important to not only prepare for luck but also to prepare for failure modes – situations that go poorly regardless of your upfront actions.Learn that resilience, preparation, and the ability to absorb impacts (becoming antifragile) are likely to happen because you recognise what happens in the margins and prepare for eventualities you may not think are likely, rather than solely from receiving good advice.Consider that there are no real silver bullets or secret answers in career advice; moments of wisdom shared by others are often just a snapshot of one experience.Learn to make decisions within your limited context and apply advice dynamically, considering how it changes with environmental shifts and plays out in unlucky scenarios.Discover the advice to be a little bit more skeptical of the advice you believe the most and a little more accepting of advice that might seem counterintuitive or on the fringes.Explore the crucial shift in focus from developing skills to emphasising ownership and responsibility to combat fear about the industry changing and your skills potentially losing value due to factors like AI or layoffs.Understand that taking responsibility means being willing to be the accountable person and figuring out how to achieve goals, which doesn't necessarily require having the skill yourself but rather being willing to supervise, verify, or import skills.Recognise that ownership and responsibility are difficult to export or outsource, and a human in the loop is critical for taking ownership and finishing the job, unlike trying to hold an AI accountable.Learn the practical advice to drive conversations with your manager towards growing your scope of responsibility, accountability, and ownership, which builds trust and reliability beyond just your skill set.Understand that your perception of the criticality of your tasks and meetings is usually inflated, and the ramifications of not attending are often much smaller than you imagine.Discover a tactical method to evaluate your obligations (meetings, tasks) based on their pliability (ease of being moved or changed) and volatility (risk/negative effect of changing it) to help you manage your time.Learn to be ruthless in identifying how you spend your time.

This week on Live Well Be Well, I got to sit down with the incredible Dr. Jessica Zucker, psychologist, writer, and fierce advocate for women's reproductive and mental health. We dove into some of the hardest stories we rarely talk about, the pressure to become a mother, the quiet weight of miscarriage, and that strange guilt that can come with ambivalence about parenthood. Jessica's wisdom on how our cultural scripts shape our inner lives is breathtaking and a much needed reminder that sharing our truths is how we heal.We peel back attachment theory in real life, exploring how our earliest bonds echo through every relationship we have and why rewriting those old narratives can be our greatest act of self love. Jessica does not shy away from the emotional labor we carry, the hidden tears, the unspoken hopes, and the ways we hold ourselves back from speaking up. This is not just theory, it is a heartfelt guide to giving voice to the parts of ourselves we have been taught to silence.By the end of our chat you will see why honesty is revolutionary, why compassion for yourself changes everything, and what courage really looks like in the messy middle of life. If you have ever felt alone in your doubts or stifled by expectations this episode is for you.About Dr. Jessica Zucker:Dr. Jessica Zucker is a renowned psychologist, writer, and advocate specialising in women's reproductive and maternal mental health. Based in Los Angeles, she has spent over 15 years supporting women through the emotional complexities of fertility, miscarriage, and motherhood. Jessica is the author of the bestselling book I Had a Miscarriage, which helped spark a global movement encouraging women to speak openly about pregnancy loss and reproductive grief.

Welcome back Tony Blair. A new report he is a part of sees him joining the growing list who argue that Net Zero is doomed. Net Zero will be doomed whether we do anything about it. No one is going to jail if they don't reach Net Zero. It's just that we can avoid a lot of needless damage along the way by recognising it early and bailing, so our economies can be put back on some sort of level footing. Ironically, there is growing anger in Spain over this week's power blackout, with a lot of people blaming the renewable aspect of their supply chain. Spain is over 50% renewable, which is high for Europe. The people's argument being the higher the reliance on renewables the more fragile your grid is. Back here farmers are furious, once again, over the new settings for the ETS. We have gone from 50% to 51% reductions, only because Paris says each year you need to adjust up. So they adjusted the least they could. But they still acquiesced to what was signed up years ago when Net Zero was a bullish theory, not an economy sapping reality. The Climate Change Commission the other day put new targets for credits and pricing on the carbon auctions. They were completely different to last years, in a "we make it up because we don't know what's going on" kind of way. We have stumbled and bumbled our way through all of this, hurting our living standards. And to what end? Emissions are in fact down for New Zealand. Yay us. Is the world any better? No. Which is why Blair joins Kemi Badenoch in calling it all out. The Reform Party are booming, in no small part because they have called it all nonsense. So between Blair, Farage and Badenoch that's a lot of cross-political support to tip up an increasingly obvious dead-end idea. Like 'Me Too' and the cancel culture and all the other bandwagons that got fashionable, Net Zero is destined for the same end. Not that helping the planet isn't good or laudable. But what we didn't understand then, but clearly do now, is at what price? And are we prepared to pay it? Given the answer is no, a few more Blair, Badenoch, Farage-type voices here wouldn't go amiss.

Simon outlines a straightforward five-step process to help you find and secure your next property deal. He explains the importance of identifying motivated sellers, who are more likely to be flexible on price and terms, and stresses the need to quickly run the numbers to determine if a property is a good investment before arranging a viewing. It's packed with practical advice for both novice and experienced property investors looking to enhance their strategies and achieve better results. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on identifying sellers who have a property-related problem and are motivated to sell. This can lead to better deals, such as discounts or flexible terms. Before investing time in viewings, quickly assess whether a property is a good investment by calculating cash flow and return on investment to ensure it meets personal investing criteria. Only arrange viewings for properties where the numbers work and the seller is motivated. This helps build rapport and allows for better negotiation opportunities. Always put in an offer for properties you view, even if the initial offer is rejected. This opens the door for negotiation and can lead to better terms. Recognise that a rejection does not mean a deal is off the table forever. Follow up regularly with sellers to maintain interest and potentially secure a deal later on. BEST MOMENTS "Step number one, we need to learn how to find motivated sellers. They're people who've got a property related problem." "In just five minutes, we can work out what's the cash flow, what's the return on investment, and is this going to meet our personal investing criteria?" "We want them to reject the first offer we make... we want them to counter offer to see if you can get anywhere close to the price you were suggesting." "If you want to be a truly successful property investor, you need to recognise that actually, no doesn't mean no, never. It just means no, not now." "Investing in property is not easy, but it's very straightforward, and this five-step process is gonna save you a huge amount of time."

Shocking Security Lapses Revealed | Amit Shah, Doval - Who is to be Blamed | Recognise Balochistan

This episode delves into practical principles for navigating the unexpected in your life and career. Rather than attempting to predict specific events, the focus is on cultivating resilience and optionality by identifying vulnerabilities in your systems and adopting a proactive mindset to transform potential challenges into strategic advantages.• Discover the three core principles of preparedness: first, build for change by investing in low-cost, high-upside options to prepare for many potential futures. Second, understand the weak points in your current systems (career, personal life, finances, etc.) to create mitigation strategies. Third, think like an engineer by identifying bottlenecks and single points of failure and pressure testing your life's resources.• Learn how to invest in optionality by pursuing low-cost, high-upside opportunities such as maintaining your professional network and reading books. These investments provide flexibility, improve negotiation power, and enhance your psychological position when making decisions.• Understand the significance of identifying and analysing the weak aspects of your personal and professional systems to either mitigate risks directly, for example, by developing multiple income streams, or to create plans to absorb risks if they materialise, such as building a financial runway.• Explore the concept of thinking like an engineer by actively seeking out bottlenecks and single points of failure in your life. Employ pressure testing across various resources, including relational, monetary, and physical well-being, to bolster your resilience against potential interruptions.• Recognise that mitigating risks is crucial for safely seizing opportunities and fostering growth in both your career and personal life. A strong foundation built on resilience allows for bolder and more strategic decision-making when beneficial options arise.

What happens when a high-achieving mum, running two businesses and parenting three kids, discovers that the chaos in her life isn’t just “normal”—it’s undiagnosed ADHD? In this powerful and relatable conversation, Justin chats with former psychologist and ADHD advocate Jane McFadden about her late diagnosis, parenting in a neurodiverse family, and why understanding is the first step towards connection. KEY POINTS: Jane McFadden was diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood—after years of burnout, high-functioning chaos, and parenting struggles. ADHD can often be masked by achievement, especially in women. Many children and adults use “scaffolding,” or complex routines, to hide difficulties with executive function. Diagnosis isn’t about labels—it’s about understanding and unlocking connection. Neurodiverse families can thrive when support and insight replace shame and confusion. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:“If you don’t want to label your child, they’ll label themselves—and it’ll be far worse than any diagnosis.” RESOURCES: ADHD Mums podcast by Jane McFadden Happy Families Membership – happyfamilies.com.au Help For the ADHD Parent [Article] Parenting ADHD [The Course] Parenting an ADHD Child [Article] ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: If you suspect neurodiversity in yourself or your child, seek a qualified assessment—it can offer clarity and hope. Explore resources and communities like ADHD Mums to connect with others on a similar journey. Approach parenting with empathy—ask your child why something is hard instead of assuming they’re being defiant. Recognise the signs of burnout in yourself and prioritise support. Focus on connection first—diagnosis is a tool to deepen relationships, not define them.

This episode introduces a valuable meta-tool for understanding the generic shapes of models, focusing specifically on the concept of logarithmic relationships and how they manifest as diminishing returns in various aspects of our lives and work. Understanding these patterns can help us make more informed decisions about where to invest our time and resources. Uncover a meta-tool for understanding generic model shapes, specifically focusing on the concept of logarithmic relationships, which operates at a layer above specific mental models. Learn about logarithmic complexity as a concept often encountered in algorithmic analysis and graphing math, characterised by a curve where the slope continuously decreases. Discover how diminishing returns serve as a colloquial way to understand logarithmic relationships, where each unit of input effort yields progressively smaller returns in value or output. Explore examples of where diminishing returns are evident, such as increasing the reliability of a system through quality improvements, estimation efforts, and the value gained from time spent in meetings. Understand how learning processes often follow a logarithmic curve, with rapid initial gains that gradually diminish with experience. Grasp the connection between logarithmic returns and the Pareto principle (80/20 rule), where a small percentage of effort often produces a large percentage of the value. Recognise the importance of identifying the threshold on a logarithmic curve where the returns on further investment become minimal, aiding in more effective resource allocation. Consider how our natural perception might not align with logarithmic realities, potentially leading us to overvalue continued effort beyond the point of significant return. Learn how understanding these fundamental input-output relationships can empower you to make better decisions about where to focus your time, effort, and resources.

This episode explores the concept of Chesterton's fence, a principle that advises against removing or altering something without first understanding its original purpose.• Understand the core message of Chesterton's fence: before getting rid of an existing system, process, or code, take the time to understand why it was put there in the first place.• Learn about the common thought process that leads to wanting to remove things without understanding them ("Why on earth would anyone ever do it this way?").• Discover the parable of Chesterton's fence: the more intelligent reformer questions the removal of a fence until its use is understood.• See an analogy in code review where a senior engineer might question the removal of code or tests without understanding their purpose.• Understand the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and the Dunning-Kruger effect, which can lead to overestimating one's own abilities and underestimating the reasoning behind existing systems.• Recognise the mistake of assuming that predecessors were incompetent and that their work was done in error.• Appreciate the importance of adopting a curious mindset and trying to understand the original reasons behind existing practices.• Understand that Chesterton's fence is not a justification for never changing anything, but a caution against recklessness and the importance of being informed.• Learn that even when deciding to remove something, understanding its purpose can lead to better decisions and improvements in the future (e.g., replacing an old test with a better one).• Realise the value of learning from the experiences and reasoning of those who came before.
