Today's focus is on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). Our expert guest will help us understand this therapy technique, its processes, and the overarching goal of this method. Join us to learn more! Dr. Carissa Gustafson, PMH-C, is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in perinatal psychology. She supports clients from preconception through parenting, with a particular focus on pregnancy and postpartum care. As the author of Reclaim Your Life: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in 7 Weeks, she utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients learn to relate to their thoughts and feelings with acceptance and compassion, while aligning their behavior with their values. Dr. Gustafson sees clients online throughout California and in person at Village Birth, a part of Heartship Psychological Services. In addition to seeing clients, she has been an adjunct professor and clinical faculty at Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology.  Show Highlights: Dr. Gustafson's path to serving perinatal mental health clients through ACT Understanding ACT as a therapy technique The unpredictable nuances of the perinatal journey align perfectly with the core processes of ACT, especially for high-achieving women. The need to be present with our difficult emotions Learning to “surf the waves” of emotions and feelings Compassion is essential because of the shame and blame we put on ourselves. ACT core processes: mindfulness, acceptance/compassion, cognitive defusion, the observer self, values, and committed/valued action  “Bringing presence to our pain brings peace.” We don't want to make an enemy of our internal experiences. ACT offers a clear path to relief for PMADs if someone is willing to use the techniques. Psychological health can be improved with flexibility in our thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. Advocacy and agency are vital! Learn more about Dr. Gustafson's book, training courses, and workbook (get yours for free at Dr. Gustafson's website!)

Operating conditions for supply chains continue to shift faster than most organizations can plan for. Labor pressures, evolving customer expectations, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasingly complex global networks are forcing leaders to rethink how decisions get made and how teams stay aligned when certainty is no longer guaranteed.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton is joined by Mario Morhy, Vice President, Integrated Planning at Sam's Club, Mike Gomes, Vice President of Supply Chain North America at Perfetti Van Melle, and Rodrigo Alponti, Senior Vice President Global Supply Chain at STADA Group. Together, they reflect on how supply chain leadership has evolved over the past year, moving away from linear optimization toward adaptability, resilience, and closer collaboration with customers and partners.The panel also explores how AI is accelerating the pace of insight and action, enabling faster scenario planning, stronger visibility, and more empowered teams. Rather than replacing people, AI emerges as a decision-making copilot, freeing leaders to focus on risk, tradeoffs, and long-term value. The conversation closes with practical leadership takeaways on learning faster than competitors, asking better questions, and building cultures that can turn volatility into advantage.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(02:58) Mike Gomes shares supply chain leadership insights(04:16) Rodrigo Alponti's global supply chain perspective(06:20) Mario Morhy's role at Sam's Club(08:18) Supply chain challenges and innovations discussed(18:05) Customer centricity in the never normal(25:18) Current challenges in today's supply chain(30:12) Walmart's AI integration in supply chain(32:01) AI as a copilot for supply chain employees(38:07) Transforming volatility into competitive advantage(43:02) Key questions leaders should ask their teamsAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Mario Morhy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariomorhy/Learn more about Sam's Club: https://www.samsclub.com/Connect with Mike Gomes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-gomes-282228/Learn more about Perfetti Van Melle: https://www.perfettivanmelle.com/Connect with Rodrigo Alponti: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rodrigo-alponti-a9873/Learn more about STADA

Trust in health care AI won't happen by hype. It will be earned through transparent standards, independent evaluation, and real-world performance monitoring. In this episode, Dr. Brian Anderson, President & CEO and Co-Founder of the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), discusses why health care needs a technically specific, use-case-by-use-case definition of “good” AI and how CHAI is building voluntary consensus-driven guidelines around fairness, transparency, safety, robustness, and privacy. He shares how his frustration with bloated EHR workflows pushed him into digital health innovation, then into pandemic-era public-private coordination during Operation Warp Speed, where rapid collaboration revealed what's possible when incentives align. Brian explores CHAI's “AI nutrition labels” (model cards), an emerging registry, and why vendors may opt into scrutiny to speed sales cycles and prove value. He also digs into ambient clinical documentation, performance metrics that matter to clinicians, cost pressure through apples-to-apples comparisons, agentic AI to expand rural access, and the alignment and biosecurity risks that demand vigilance.

The common advice to "post three times a day" is often a recipe for burnout rather than business growth.

She explains why you should stop blindly following trends and start "personifying" your brand through calculated vulnerability and direct audience feedback.In this episode, we cover:Embracing the Chaos Why you can't fully eliminate the chaos of content creation, but how you can build a system to manage it.Finding Your Pace Why consistency beats frequency, and how to determine if your audience actually wants to hear from you daily or if you can slow down.The "Twist" Strategy How to find inspiration from competitors without copying them by adding your unique brand spin.Tactical Feedback How to use incentivized surveys (gift cards!) to stop guessing and start creating exactly what your audience wants to buy.Links & Resources:Connect with Janelle JonesText us what you think about this episode!

Message us here!A headline never tells the whole story, and the movie "Rosemead" refuses to let us look away. In this episode, star of "Rosemead," Lawrence Shou, unpacks a true-story-inspired film about a Chinese immigrant mother (played by Lucy Liu), a teenage son named Joe (Shou) navigating schizophrenia, and the quiet heartbreak that unfolds when love collides with stigma and a patchwork mental health system. Lawrence brings us inside his process of weeks of research, clinician interviews, and on-set practices that made his performance so hauntingly real.Our conversation traces how psychosis actually presents: not just shouting or destruction, but blankness, withdrawal, and a mind overloaded by grief and fear. Lawrence explains how Joe's symptoms are shaped by trauma and context, including anxiety about mass shootings and the loss of his father. We talk about cultural pressures in immigrant families: why silence can feel safer than asking for help and how that silence magnifies risk. Lawrence shares how reframing treatment as a path to agency, combined with psychoeducation and community support, can make a tangible difference for families who are exhausted and scared. If you've ever wondered what schizophrenia looks like up close, how to avoid snap judgments, or how to show up when someone you love is slipping away, this episode is for you."Rosemead" is out in theaters January 9th.

For the last 20 years, digital marketing had one goal: drag a human across a "threshold", onto your website, so you could control the message and sell the product.In 2026, the threshold is gone.In this episode, Jono Alderson argues that we have entered the era of "Marketing to Machines." We are no longer optimizing for clicks; we are optimizing for the AI agents that intermediate the web.We discuss why 90% of websites are now "Zombies" (technically online but functionally dead), why AI models treat marketing fluff like an allergen, and why the future of SEO isn't about meta tags, it's about "Upstream Engineering."In this episode, we cover:[00:00] The Death of the Threshold: Why the era of "interrupting humans to get them to your site" is over.[02:24] The Surface-less Web: Why your brand is no longer just your domain, but an aggregation of everything said about you on the web (Reddit, YouTube, 2013 microsites).[06:52] The "Zombie Web" Theory: Why "commodity content" (like generic dentist blogs) is worthless to an LLM that has already memorized the facts.[11:05] The Machine Immune System: Why AI models view persuasive copywriting and sales fluff as "noise" or hallucinations to be filtered out.[16:40] The Incoherence Penalty: How machines spot the gap between your marketing claims ("We love customers") and your reality (bad Reddit reviews).[20:30] The llms.txt Trap: Why creating a separate "agent-friendly" version of your site won't work (and why machines won't trust it).[22:50] MCP (Model Context Protocol): Is this the future of how websites communicate?[28:14] Upstream Engineering: The new SEO. Why you need to optimize your return policy, logistics, and customer service instead of your title tags.[33:05] The Timeline: The best and worst-case scenarios for the web in the next 5 years.[38:39] How to Survive 2026: One final piece of advice for optimizers.Links & Resources:Connect with Jono: jonoalderson.comFollow Jono on LinkedIn---If you want to go deeper on this, I write about it weekly at No Hacks Substack.

She breaks down exactly how to utilize the PESO model (created by Gini Dietrich) to ensure that a single piece of owned content doesn't just sit on a blog, but fuels media pitches, social engagement, and paid advertising.In this episode, we cover:The PESO Model in Action: How to align Paid, Earned, Shared, and Owned media to work in harmony rather than competition.The Cost of Silos: How disconnected teams lead to duplication of effort, inconsistent messaging, and missed data opportunities.The Integrated Matrix: How to build a plan where every asset is maximized across multiple channels so content never "lives and dies" in one place.Where to Start: The first tactical step to take—getting department leaders from sales, marketing, and comms into the same room.Links & Resources:Connect with Nikki Little on LinkedInLearn more about FrancoText us what you think about this episode!

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 Clinical trials fail far more often due to flawed operations and unusable data than because of poor science. In this episode, Heather Grey, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Real World Data, Clinical Trials, and Registry at Omega Healthcare, explains why clinical research continues to stall despite scientific breakthroughs and growing excitement around AI. She details how messy data, underprepared sites, missed timelines, and gaps in education across patients, providers, and pharma create systemic delays that limit patient access and slow drug development.

Edward H. Muñoz rose from humble beginnings as a first-generation Mexican American in a South Texas border town to build a 33-year career at Celanese, where he played a key role in transforming the company into a global leader in engineering materials. After earning a chemistry degree from the University of Texas at Austin, he joined Celanese during its pivot from fibers to high-value engineering resins and helped establish its polyacetal product as a serious competitor to industry giants like DuPont and GE. His journey included navigating corporate takeovers, leading multinational teams, confronting cultural bias, and accepting personal sacrifices, particularly the strain his ambition placed on family life. A near-fatal car accident that killed a close friend became a defining turning point, propelling him into international leadership roles and reshaping both his career trajectory and personal life. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Edward Muñoz reflects on his legacy through his memoir Challenges, Triumphs, and Heroes: Memoirs of My Celanese Odyssey, which honors the people behind corporate success while capturing the human cost of leadership. He discusses his work in Germany and Mexico, his commitment to inclusive leadership, and the lessons learned from balancing ambition, culture, and responsibility. Now living with Parkinson's disease, he remains active through photography, travel, and leadership within the arts community, helping an organization not only survive the pandemic but grow significantly. Key takeaways include the importance of resilience, values-driven leadership, preserving personal history, and leaving something meaningful behind for future generations. Quotes: “The hardest challenge was balancing ambition with family. You gain a career, but you pay a price, and you have to decide what you are willing to give up.” “I am an American. That moment taught me how perception works and how easily people define others before they listen.” “You are not going to be around forever, so you have to leave something behind that others can learn from.” “When I think I might get fired, I remember this: I was looking for a job when I got here.” Resources: Connect with Edward H.

 Jill Lublin is a longtime publicity strategist and media expert with more than 25 years of experience helping entrepreneurs, authors, and professionals gain visibility without paying for advertising. Throughout her career, she has focused on demystifying publicity and removing financial and emotional barriers that keep people from sharing their message. Her work addresses common challenges, such as fear of visibility, unclear messaging, and the misconception that publicity requires expensive PR agencies. By reframing publicity as a skill that anyone can learn, she has helped clients turn personal stories, setbacks, and unique perspectives into compelling media features that drive credibility, trust, and business growth. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Jill Lublin explains how she helps people become their own publicity machine by focusing on clear messaging, consistency, and practical weekly actions. She emphasizes spending as little as 30 minutes a week on real visibility-building activities such as Google Alerts, responding to media requests, and booking podcast interviews, rather than relying solely on social media. She shares examples of clients who transformed their stories into primary media coverage, book sales, and consulting revenue, reinforcing that publicity multiplies reach and monetizes expertise over time. Key takeaways include saying yes to opportunities, using all parts of your story, starting local, and viewing publicity as a long-term asset that builds authority, trust, and lasting influence. Quotes: “Publicity does not have to be expensive or complicated. When you make it accessible, it becomes a powerful tool for every entrepreneur.” “Consistency and persistence create publicity. When you stay focused and keep showing up, visibility follows.” “Spend 30 minutes a week on real visibility-building activities, and you will see momentum. Publicity rewards action, not perfection.” “Publicity is a gift that keeps on giving because it multiplies you, monetizes you, and maximizes your message.” Resources: Connect with Jill Lublin on LinkedIn Get Guerrilla Publicity: Hundreds of Sure-Fire Tactics to Get Maximum Sales for Minimum Dollars on Amazon.

Larry Dodd is an executive coach and founder of Open Playbook with more than 35 years of experience helping leaders and teams reconnect to what drives real performance. His journey includes navigating career choices that were initially misaligned with his natural strengths, an experience that forced him to work harder than necessary and ultimately sparked deeper self-examination. Through setbacks, reflection, and disciplined personal growth, he developed a strengths-based methodology rooted in understanding innate talents, building confidence, and turning self-awareness into effective leadership. His career includes high-impact roles such as working with the San Francisco Giants, where a pivotal opportunity reinforced the importance of confidence, preparation, and offering value without fear of failure. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Larry Dodd explains how Open Playbook helps individuals and organizations rebuild connection in a disconnected, post-pandemic world. His work centers on three core concepts: the playbook you are given, the playbook you develop, and the playbook you give away. By using tools such as CliftonStrengths alongside deep, human-centered coaching, he helps people align roles with strengths, build engaged teams, and create cultures where leaders invest in others rather than operate in isolation. Key takeaways include the importance of connection over convenience, confidence built through repetition and guided reflection, and viewing setbacks as catalysts for growth. His current work focuses on developing strengths-based leaders who create lasting impact by sharing their experiences, mentoring others, and building teams that thrive rather than merely perform. Quotes: “Everybody has inherent talents, but if we never stop to understand what we actually have, we end up working twice as hard just to play even.” “Nothing replaces connection. You can get information faster than ever, but developing people still requires time, trust, and human presence.” “As you do the work, you build confidence. As you build confidence, you take risks. And when you repeat that cycle enough times, people start asking how you got there.” “Success is not a straight line. It is a series of setbacks and breakthroughs, and those setbacks are often where the real strength is built.” Resources: Connect with Larry Dodd on LinkedIn Discover Larry Dodd's strengths-based approach to leadership and performance.
