On this week's episode of the LiberatED podcast, Kerry McDonald talks with Cory Henwood, innovation coordinator for Utah's Iron County School District and founder of Launch High School, a new public high school focused on personalized learning. Cory shares his journey from public school math teacher to district innovation leader, and explains how Launch High School blends competency-based learning, personalized schedules, and real-world entrepreneurship. Students spend much of their time building projects and businesses while progressing through academics at their own pace—an approach that has led to some of the strongest academic outcomes in the district. Kerry and Cory also explore how school districts can respond to the growing landscape of school choice, ESAs, charter schools, and customized learning options. Cory discusses his work supporting new innovative programs across Utah, including emerging models that allow families to combine multiple educational experiences tailored to their children. They close with a look ahead at the future of education—and why Cory believes that greater family choice, flexibility, and personalization will continue shaping schooling in the years to come. ***  Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

In this episode of SciDish, we sit down with Bruce Friedrich, founder and president of the Good Food Institute, to unpack his new book MEAT: How the Next Agricultural Revolution Will Transform Humanity's Favorite Food—and Our Future, recently named one of Publishers Weekly's Top Ten New Releases in Science. Rather than arguing against meat consumption, Friedrich explores a pragmatic question: if global demand for meat continues to rise, can science help us produce it more efficiently, safely, and sustainably? We dig into the food science and biotechnology behind plant-based and cultivated meat, the real-world bottlenecks to scaling these innovations, why conventional meat companies are investing in alternative proteins, and how policy decisions today could quietly shape the future of protein production.

AI could become the greatest equalizer in healthcare if we use it the right way.In this episode of Straight Out of Health IT, Dr. Harvey Castro, a physician, entrepreneur, and CEO of 8 free-standing ERs, a medical billing and physician staffing company, and a strategic advisor to ChatGPT and healthcare, discusses how artificial intelligence is poised to transform global healthcare access and delivery. He shares how discovering ChatGPT in 2022 immediately convinced him that AI would reshape medicine. Drawing from his experience building more than 20 emergency rooms and launching multiple healthcare companies, he explains why bold innovation and acting on new ideas are critical. He also reflects on how entrepreneurs and clinicians must trust their instincts when they see transformative technology.Dr. Castro also explores how AI, satellites, and wearable devices could dramatically expand access to healthcare worldwide. He explains how predictive analytics, combined with satellite connectivity, could remotely monitor patients and alert clinicians before life-threatening events occur. This infrastructure could help overcome the reality that geography often determines survival in medical emergencies. By enabling global connectivity, he believes AI-powered systems could bring care to underserved populations that currently lack reliable access to healthcare.The conversation also tackles the challenges of adopting AI responsibly in healthcare. Dr. Castro discusses the cultural resistance within medicine and the need to train future clinicians to work alongside AI. He highlights the dangers of biased datasets and why AI systems must represent diverse populations to avoid reinforcing disparities. Ultimately, he argues that leaders, policymakers, and clinicians must work together to ensure AI improves equity rather than widening the healthcare gap.Tune in to hear how AI, space technology, and bold thinking could reshape the future of global healthcare.ResourcesConnect with Dr. Harvey Castro on LinkedIn here and visit his website here!Check out Dr. Castro's TED Talks here!

What do you do when the plan you trusted stops working—and the future suddenly feels uncertain? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sana, we talk about reinvention in its most human form: not a dramatic restart, but a quiet shift back toward what fits. This conversation is for anyone facing a career change, identity shift, burnout, or a moment where “the old way” no longer holds. Guest Serena Low shares a grounded way to move through fear, grief, and confusion—without rushing into the next plan—so you can rebuild trust, widen your options, and take one steady step at a time. About the Guest: Serena Low hosts The Quiet Warrior Podcast and shares insights on reinvention, uncertainty, and courage through lived experience. She speaks about leaving a long legal career and learning to trust a new path through curiosity, inner work, and action. Episode Chapters: 00:04:23 — When Plan A collapses, what's the first emotional wave? 00:08:24 — The biggest myth about “reinvention” that keeps people stuck 00:10:19 — Why motivation fades and self-judgment takes over 00:12:14 — The “should” voice vs. the part of you that needs rest 00:16:20 — Cultural conditioning, safety, and the fear of standing out 00:19:30 — The turning point: when regret becomes louder than fear 00:24:10 — No Plan B? Trust + self-responsibility + small daily actions Key Takeaways: Name the real emotion first (fear, grief, panic) before chasing solutions. Replace pressure with curiosity: widen your world before choosing your next move. Practice sitting with uncertainty instead of forcing instant clarity. Build “trust muscles” through inner work and practical action (reading, learning, conversations). Track small wins and kindness daily—your nervous system needs proof of safety. Reinvention is often only visible in hindsight; focus on the next honest step.

Success looks powerful from the outside. But what happens after you reach the top? In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I sit down with NFL Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk to explore something rarely discussed publicly: The identity crisis that follows peak performance. We discuss: The hidden biological cost of hustle culture Why achievement can create chronic stress What happens when your primary identity disappears Reinventing yourself after success How your energetic state influences your DNA and mitochondria Your identity is not just psychological. It is biological. Every belief you hold creates a neurochemical cascade that affects your nervous system, immune function, and mitochondrial health. If your identity is built on performance, proving yourself, or constant productivity, your body may remain in survival mode long after the external success is achieved. This conversation is about conscious reinvention. Because success without alignment can quietly cost you your health.   In This Episode You Will Learn How identity influences gene expression and longevity The biological impact of chronic stress Why elite athletes struggle after retirement The science behind energy and mitochondrial function How to consciously evolve your identity   Resources Download the free Longevity and Performance Starter Guide: https://thrivestatestarter.com Get the 2nd Edition of Thrive State: https://thrivestatebook.com Join the Thrive State Membership: https://kienvuu.com/join Follow @doctorvmd for daily insights on longevity and performance.

Amber and Andrew Salisbury turned a marriage argument about coffee into an eight-figure health food empire. After Andrew couldn't find a single coffee brand that prioritized health over marketing, the husband-and-wife founders spent two years in research and development with leading coffee scientists to create Purity Coffee—the first specialty-grade coffee engineered specifically for maximum health benefits. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just pure science-backed coffee that tastes incredible. In this interview, the co-founders of Purity Coffee break down how they lab-tested 59 competing coffee brands to prove the market gap, why they focus on the presence of good compounds rather than just the absence of bad ones, and the exact margin structure that allows them to reinvest in regenerative farming and continuous product innovation. What you'll learn in this interview: • How a marriage argument about coffee led to building an eight-figure brand • Why they spent two years in R&D before launching their first product • How they lab-tested 59 coffee brands to validate the market opportunity • The science behind chlorogenic acids and why roasting matters for health benefits • Why they target 50% gross margin to reinvest in supply chain innovation • How to build a product-first brand that wins on fundamentals, not marketing • The power couple dynamics of complementary strengths in business • Why focusing on the underlying product matters more than selling tactics • How a big vision attracts resources and people who want to help • The importance of daily rituals and honoring the entrepreneurial journey If you're building a CPG brand, competing in a crowded market, or trying to figure out how to justify premium pricing through genuine product innovation, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about product development, market positioning, and what it takes to build something truly differentiated.
