George Wright III interviews Braeden and Madison Furgeson, husband-and-wife founders of Venn Social, a bootstrapped, self-funded social platform designed around connection instead of attention. The idea began as an infertility support app after Madison struggled through years of infertility and miscarriages and found meaningful help only when matched with someone in the same stage, highlighting that topic-based groups lump very different situations together. They broadened the concept into a community platform for anyone seeking real connection. Venn Social features “circles” that use filtering questions to place users into sub-circles with people who answered similarly, a discover feed that prioritizes followed accounts and circles, and a transparent algorithm users can view. Culture is enforced through the Venn Code and an Aura score system that rewards good behavior and restricts trolls. They share a vision to replace toxic social media and help address loneliness.00:00 From Infertility to Connection00:51 Meet the Founders02:26 The Infertility Struggle05:36 Why Topic Groups Fail08:03 Bootstrapping Mission First10:10 Marriage as Co-Founders13:33 What Social Media Broke19:04 Defining Venn Social20:15 Circles and Filtering21:14 Circle Matching Topics22:02 Life Phases Mentors23:01 Discover Feed Explained24:59 Transparent Algorithm Rules26:11 Venn Code Culture27:52 Aura Score Moderation30:22 Creators Connection Focus35:03 Vision Replace Social37:53 Find Ven Download38:31 Closing Share EpisodeThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

The Money on the Left Collective is proud to launch its new podcast series, In the Loop: Revolutionizing Public Finance, hosted by Scott Ferguson, Tyler Suksawat, and Will Beaman. In this debut episode, the hosts lay out a bold vision for Democratic Public Finance (DPF), a paradigm shift that rejects the defensive, austerity-driven mindset of "finding the money" and instead reclaims public finance as a problem of legal, social, and democratic design. By wresting control of public resources from Wall Street, shadow banking, and both neoliberal and authoritarian governance, DPF seeks to protect local communities from federal sabotage and end the false trade-offs that misrecognize collective capacities, while pitting public interests against one another. The episode culminates by introducing what we at MotL call "the Loop"—a generative fiscal framework that utilizes a city-owned public bank to internalize municipal debt, capture interest revenues that would otherwise leak to private creditors, and reinvest that wealth back into local infrastructure. Highlighting the ongoing successes and momentum of building a broad-based coalition around the Seattle Loop, the hosts demonstrate how diverse advocacy sectors—including labor, housing, and the arts—can be woven into a self-replenishing, mutually reinforcing network that transforms public finance into a powerful instrument for the people and the planet.Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureOriginal music by Josh Klinghoffer

Welcome to The Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS, in partnership with Vertical Valor Plus. This episode was recorded live from the floor of VAI Verticon 2026 in Atlanta at the Vertical Plus booth. In this episode we catch up with two returning guests and highly respected rescue and aviation professionals, retired Las Vegas Metro officer and owner of SR3 Rescue Concepts, Dave Callen, along with longtime law enforcement pilot and SR3 instructor, Tony Weber.This was a rapid-fire conversation in the middle of a packed convention floor, but that energy made for an outstanding discussion centered around one critical topic — precision training for real-world rescue missions. Dave and Tony share their perspectives on the importance of outside training, the impact of the Hoist Users Conference, and why realistic, mission-focused preparation can make the difference when lives are on the line.We also discuss a quote that resonates deeply throughout aviation and law enforcement: “The absence of an accident does not imply the presence of safety.” It's a mindset that challenges organizations and operators to constantly evaluate training, proficiency, and readiness long before something goes wrong.As always, there are plenty of laughs mixed in with the serious conversation, and we're incredibly grateful to have two trusted subject matter experts join us again to talk about the evolution of life-saving rescue training.For more information on SR3 Rescue Concepts, visit SR3rescue.comThank you to all our sponsors Onboard Systems Hoist and Winch, Summit Aviation and Quantum Helicopters.
In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, Giuseppe Ianni, podcast host and industry interviewer, is joined for a second time by Nandita Puri, PhD Researcher at Georgia Tech working at the intersection of bioinformatics and biochemistry. The conversation explores how AI is transforming drug discovery, accelerating hypothesis generation, reducing experimental costs, improving success rates, enabling rare disease research, and paving the way for virtual cell simulation. Key Takeaways AI Is Creating a New Drug Discovery Workflow: Puri describes a major transition from traditional laboratory-first research toward a hybrid approach combining computational and experimental science. Researchers can now use AI, machine learning, and pattern recognition to analyze massive biological datasets before conducting expensive laboratory work. According to Puri, "I see a healthy combination of 50% dry lab and wet-lab validation becoming the emerging standard." This shift allows scientists to move beyond manual analysis and leverage computational intelligence to generate stronger hypotheses, identify promising targets faster, and focus laboratory resources on the most promising opportunities. Higher Success Rates Mean Lower Costs and Less Waste: One of the most immediate benefits of AI in drug discovery is improved experimental efficiency. Puri notes that individual experiments can cost "$10,000-$12,000" and historically have carried significant failure risk. By consolidating fragmented datasets and identifying meaningful biological signals, AI helps researchers prioritize stronger hypotheses before entering the laboratory. Puri explained that some AI-assisted binder-development efforts achieved "40% 50% of success rate," compared with previous rates of "10% 5%." These improvements reduce wasted resources, shorten research timelines, and allow scientific teams to evaluate more potential treatments with the same budget. AI Is Unlocking Opportunities for Rare Disease Research: Rare diseases have historically faced funding and development challenges due to limited patient populations and expensive clinical validation requirements. Puri explains that AI is helping overcome these barriers by generating synthetic datasets, identifying hidden biological relationships, and revealing common signaling pathways between diseases. She notes that "AI is really, really helping rare disease industry to go forward." Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Documentation, charting, and insurance narratives are taking time away from patient care, and many teams are already stretched thin. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Rushi Ganmukhi, founder of Bola AI and former MIT AI/NLP researcher, and Cassie Tallon, a dental operations leader and author, to explain how voice-enabled AI can reduce clinical documentation burden, improve note quality, and help practices get paid faster. You'll learn where voice tech fits best (perio, restorative charting, and clinical notes), what it changes operationally, and how to identify the friction points in your own workflow. Listen to Episode 1055 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Voice technology can reduce the time and disruption of perio charting by allowing hands-free entry during hygiene visits.Faster perio charting supports more comprehensive perio exams, which can improve identification and treatment of periodontal disease.Delayed or incomplete notes can delay insurance submission and cash flow, creating a backlog of unsent claims.Templated, generic notes and late documentation can weaken clinical records for both insurance review and legal defensibility.Insurers are increasingly requiring more documentation, including perio charting for restorative claims, to support medical necessity.Effective adoption of AI tools depends on fast implementation, flexibility in workflows, and customization to an office's documentation preferences.Practices can start by tracking daily workflow “sticking points” for a week and mapping which issues could be reduced with voice-driven documentation.Snippets:00:00 Voice tech as the “hidden power” of AI for practice efficiency.01:00 The documentation burden: perio charts, restorative docs, and insurance narratives.02:10 Rushi's background in AI/NLP and MIT research, and why he entered dentistry.04:35 Why voice tech fits clinical environments better than consumer voice assistants.06:00 Bola AI's early focus on voice perio charting and expansion to notes and restorative charting.07:05 Why integrations with practice management systems matter (Dentrix, Open Dental, Curve, Patterson, Henry Schein).08:00 The time cost of manual charting and its impact on hygiene workflows.10:00 How delays and backdating notes can hold up insurance submission and revenue.11:20 The risks of cut-and-paste templates for insurance and legal documentation.13:00 Insurance requiring more documentation, including perio charting for restorative claims.14:00 Why “decay” alone is not a sufficient clinical reason in a narrative.15:00 How dental-specific logic and terminology improve accuracy over general dictation tools.16:35 What “plug-and-play” adoption should look like in the operatory.18:10 Handling variation across practices (sleep/airway, medical billing, pediatrics, customization).19:00 Current curiosity vs. adoption: workforce shortages and the cash-flow case for AI.22:00 Overview of Bola's three core products: Voice Perio, Voice Restorative, and AI Scribe.26:00 A practical challenge: measure how long perio charting takes and identify workflow friction points.29:00 Final guidance: start small, solve specific problems, and choose tools proven in clinics.30:10 Where to learn more and request a demo (bola.ai).Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Rushi Ganmukhi is the founder of Bola AI and has a professional background in artificial intelligence and natural language processing, including research experience at MIT focused on helping computers understand human speech and language.

Rolando never could have predicted that a college computer, a printer, and an old school wall phone in his kitchen would lead him down the path of entrepreneurship. But that's exactly how it happened. In 2002, he founded Global Tech Worldwide with the goal of making it easy for businesses to use the right office technologies for better and frictionless customer interactions that help businesses elevate their customer interactions and turn them into rich, meaningful discussions. Fast forward to today, and after spending ten years selling on Amazon, he is on his third startup circuit. Com because he was frustrated with the lack of transparency and outdated methods of buying broadband, wireless and fiber internet for small and medium sized businesses. So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Rolando.Rolando 00:00:53 Woo! Woo woo woo woo. Woo woo. Let me try. Let me try.Josh 00:00:56 Hey, there you go. Hey.Rolando 00:00:57 There we go.Josh 00:00:58 You got the audio work?Rolando 00:00:59 I got it, I got it I got him to work.Josh 00:01:02 Rolando has his own podcast and we recorded an episode last week I was on, I was in the reverse side. I was the guest there. And that I told you, Rolando, I love the sound effects that you have going on in your podcast.Rolando 00:01:15 You know what? I'm here. You know what? Go get a stream deck, go get it and call me, and I'll help you set it up. Because it took me a while. I left it in the box for quite some time before I actually started using it, because I was a little intimidated. I'm not an Avi guy or anything like that, but, you know, I was like, all right, let me add one, two, three. And I was like, ooh. And now I've got a couple of those buttons set up for it.Josh 00:01:38 I love it, I love it. All right, Rolando, there's another really wicked smart strategy that I want you to share with our audience that you shared with me prior to hitting the record button.Josh 00:01:48 And this is your amazing PPC strategy that I have never heard anybody else talk about this other than yourself. everybody's always heard of de parting, right? And that's kind of the new hot PPC term, but this isn't Dave Harding. This is something, I think, even more intelligent than what De parting is. So I've laid out the red carpet for you there, Rolando. Give us the gold nugget.Rolando 00:02:13 Yeah, right. So de parting is just simply ad scheduling. You know, run an ad on a schedule. Nothing new there. But what if. Chad. Chad, I was just talking to Chad. What if Josh. We could map or have ads show up when we have our ideal customers on Amazon? How can we do that? Can we pull it off? And can we save money while we're doing that? That's really what we wanted to find out. Turns out there is a way to do it. Not easy, not clean. But there was. So we went and pulled data from our orders for 12 months, and we used, Seller Labs product that they have or service that's called Data Hub.Rolando 00:02:59 and it pulled in all that data, right? It's our own data. So we didn't have to do all these crazy reports from Amazon. Pulled it all in. Once they pulled that in I said, wait a minute, guys. I'm not a mathematician here. This is just a spreadsheet with a bunch of numbers. Can we do something better? So then we put together something that anybody could easily use in the organization. We put together a heat map so that you can visually see the data. And, you know, dark green means good, red is bad. And guess what? We found golden hours every day of the week. Also golden months also patterns within those months. For example summertime for our products which are mostly office related products. After 4 p.m. on a Friday, we've virtually had no orders on the summer months. So if I'm a betting man, Why would I run PPC after 4 p.m. if we're not getting any orders? Another one was when? on the weekends, you hear people say this all the time.Rolando 00:04:12 And now that I have the data for our stuff, I know it's totally wrong. You got to run ads on Saturday and Sunday because people browse Saturday and Sunday and buy on Monday. The evidence does not hold that up in our case, because in our case, most of our activity, nearly 85 to 90% of the purchases c...

In this episode of Dismantling You, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Kulp-Makarov, a Board-Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and founder of Fleura Fertility, trained at Johns Hopkins and Yale. We dig into how traditional fertility clinics often rely on a one size fits all approach to IVF, and why that can actually backfire for women with low AMH or those trying to conceive over 40. Dr. Jennifer shares the patient experience that changed everything for her: a woman who gave up on growing her family because she thought aggressive, high dose IVF was her only option. That moment became the catalyst for her to build a practice centered on personalized protocols and her signature Goldilocks approach to stimulation, finding the just right dose of medication rather than defaulting to the highest one.We also explore cutting edge fertility innovations including ovarian PRP, which is showing promise in improving markers like AMH and antifollicle count, and rapamycin, an emerging treatment that may help protect egg reserves and delay menopause. Dr. Jennifer breaks down how FSH dosing plays a critical role in egg competence and why monitoring it throughout the cycle, not just at baseline, makes a real difference. We talk about how fertility care is evolving to better support LGBTQ individuals through inclusive language and treatment design, and how AI could soon help standardize ultrasound data and embryo analysis. We wrap up with Dr. Jennifer's rapid fire answers on the most underrated factor in fertility, the biggest mistake patients make when choosing a clinic, and the one belief she had to dismantle in her own career.__________________________________________________Key Highlights
I continue to believe peptides offer hope in medicine like few things ever have. Because of the mechanism of action and lack of toxicity, these compounds have the ability to restore the body's proper natural functioning rather than suppress symptoms. But few physicians are willing to traverse in the peptide waters due to regulatory challenges, political interests and pharmaceutical interference. But I have seen their potential myself, as has my guest Dr Aleksandra Gajer.Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, originally from Poland and raised in the United States, is a dedicated medical professional focused on advancing healthcare. She graduated with top honors from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and completed her residency in academic emergency medicine at The George Washington University.Dr. Gajer's special interests include sustainable weight loss, balanced hormone health, and longevity. She emphasizes the importance of lifestyle adjustments to optimize patients' biology, promoting health, vitality, and long-term wellness.

In this episode, Duane Osterlind talks with Nawal Roy, the visionary behind Holmusk, the world's largest clinical data platform for mental health. After a successful career in finance, Nawal pivoted to healthcare, driven by the realization that mental health is one of the most complex, yet least quantified, areas of medicine.They dive deep into how Holmusk has spent 11 years building a "scientific-grade" database of over 42 million patients, shifting mental health care away from "hunches and poetry" toward precision and evidence-based science.Key Discussion PointsThe Data Gap in Mental Health: Historically, mental health treatment has relied on clinician intuition rather than hard data. Nawal explains how Holmusk "normalizes" messy, unstructured electronic health records to create a searchable, scientific database.The 10-Year Wait: Data reveals a heartbreaking reality: the average journey from the onset of symptoms to receiving meaningful care is 8 to 10 years.Ending the Trial-and-Error Cycle: A typical acute patient might cycle through 10 to 12 different medications over 18 months before finding what works. Nawal discusses how large-scale data can help clinicians find the right treatment faster.The Power of Comorbidity: Mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum. Treating depression can significantly improve outcomes for physical conditions like diabetes, yet these are often treated as separate issues.Measurement-Based Care: Nawal argues that "engagement is not outcome." He highlights the desperate need to move toward a system that measures functional improvement (like GAF or CGI scores) rather than just "showing up for therapy."AI and the Future of Psychiatry: How Holmusk is using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to "read" thousands of unstructured doctor's notes and train AI models to provide clinically accurate—not just "nice sounding"—guidance."Mental health is currently closer to poetry than science... we need to bring the level of rigor found in pediatric oncology to the mental health community." — Nawal Roy"You can't improve what you don't measure. If we have data, we can actually make real, significant change to people's lives." — Duane OsterlindBig TakeawaysDemand Data: Patients and stakeholders should demand that mental health be treated with the same clinical rigor as physical health.Outcome over Engagement: Simply attending sessions isn't enough; we must measure whether the patient is actually getting better.The Role of AI: AI has the potential to democratize access to care, but it must be trained on massive, clinically valid datasets to avoid "hallucinations" and provide safe, effective support.Resources MentionedHolmusk: holmusk.comNeuroBlue: Holmusk's flagship data analytics platform.ACE Study: Referenced by Duane regarding Adverse Childhood Experiences and their long-term health impacts.LinkedIn: Nawal Roy Follow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.

He shares insights into the development of this groundbreaking technology and its potential to enhance learning at home. Following this, Mark Beckman, an AI expert working with the First Lady, discusses the global impact of this educational shift and its role in challenging the traditional education system.The episode also features Madison Wright, who runs a museum dedicated to American democracy, explaining how interactive AI experiences can enrich visitors' understanding of our constitutional heritage.

Omar Atia, Founder and CEO of ZeroCarb LYFE, is changing that perception. His growing food company delivers indulgent, crave-worthy foods that are also healthy—creating a game-changing option for consumers seeking low-carb, high-protein alternatives.Leveraging his experience with major food brands like Kraft and Procter & Gamble, Omar has transformed a simple kitchen-table idea into a thriving enterprise with products now available online and even on Target shelves. His mission? To create “tasty and healthy” products, including protein-based pizza crusts, chips, and tortillas, that improve quality of life.“Our protein-based pizza actually brings people's blood sugar down instead of raising it,” Omar explained in today's episode. For those living with diabetes or athletes looking for sustained energy, ZeroCarb LYFE provides an alternative to traditional comfort foods.What began as a partnership during the pandemic has now scaled into a trusted brand with over 70,000 customers. Omar emphasized how e-commerce played a pivotal role early on, noting that having a direct connection with customers allowed him to test, iterate, and refine his products using real-time feedback.Critically, ZeroCarb LYFE is building a movement around a core insight: indulgence doesn't have to mean sacrificing health. “People currently think about healthy food as something that doesn't taste great. What we want to do is bring a very different version of that,” Omar explained.In support of scaling his vision, ZeroCarb LYFE has launched a regulated crowdfunding campaign via Wefunder, inviting customers and fans alike to become co-owners. Omar sees this community-driven approach as an opportunity to “hockey-stick” growth while allowing supporters to share in the company's success.With today's growing recognition of protein's importance in human diets, ZeroCarb LYFE is more than a food brand—it's a reimagining of how we approach healthy eating. If you're intrigued, consider checking out ZeroCarb LYFE to see how this company is reshaping the way we snack and dine, one protein-packed bite at a time.tl;dr:Omar Atia shares his mission to create indulgent, healthy protein-rich foods with ZeroCarb LYFE.E-commerce allowed early product testing, feedback, and scaling to over 70,000 customers since 2019.ZeroCarb LYFE offers products like protein-based pizza crusts, chips, and tortillas for healthier eating.By engaging customers via a Wefunder campaign, ZeroCarb LYFE invites everyone to be co-owners.Omar attributes his success to persistence, visionary thinking, and applying consumer insights effectively.How to Develop Persistence and Vision As a SuperpowerOmar's superpower is his ability to combine undying persistence with visionary thinking. He said, “I just constantly believe that if you put in the effort and keep moving toward the goal you genuinely believe in, you will accomplish it.” This blend of determination and big-picture perspective— “seeing systems at a global scale,” as he described it—allows Omar to not only create comprehensive solutions but also inspire others to work toward transformative change.At the start of ZeroCarb LYFE, Omar envisioned not just a product but a platform. He and his team began with protein-based pizza crusts but built a broader concept around creating indulgent, healthy foods across categories. He brought a systems-level perspective to the operation, demonstrating how the brand could impact restaurants, e-commerce, and retail simultaneously. His vision and persistence turned ZeroCarb LYFE from a single product into a scalable, category-defining company.Actionable Tips to Develop the SuperpowerSet clear long-term goals to guide your efforts, even amid immediate challenges.Regularly zoom out to see the “big picture” and assess your decisions within a systems perspective.Continuously iterate your solutions based on customer feedback and market testing.Surround yourself with a team of capable people who align with your mission.Stay persistent and learn to filter useful signals from distracting noise in your journey.By following Omar's example and advice, you can make persistence and vision a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileOmar Atia (he/him):Founder and CEO, ZeroCarb LYFEAbout ZeroCarb LYFE: ZeroCarb LYFE is a food company focused on transforming health through food by making protein-forward, lower-carb, clean-ingredient products that are convenient, familiar, and transparent.

One sunny afternoon in Upstate New York, Suzy and her daughter were outside practicing skip counting. Progress was slow—until her daughter hopped onto the trampoline and began skipping counting with every jump. After hours of struggle, she was suddenly doing it on her own.Suzy once believed she was a “math flunky.” Struggling through school and discouraged by teachers, she never imagined a future in mathematics. But Suzy proved them wrong earning a bachelor's in mathematics, a master's in Statistics, becoming an Associate of the Society of Actuaries, and authoring two books for actuaries: Survival Models Made Easy and Risk Theory Made Easy. Her early challenges inspired her to help others gain confidence in math.Math & Movement began with Suzy's daughter skipping counting on a trampoline and has since reached educators and students worldwide. Our Learner-Centered Design philosophy brings movement-based learning to schools in forty-seven states and parts of Canada, serving Title 1, charter, private, and public-school districts of all sizes.Is your school next?

What if your mix engineer secretly backed up every session in triplicate just so your grandkids could remix your demo in 2085?In this episode, I'm joined by my brother from another podcast, Matt Boudreau - veteran mixer, Atmos trailblazer, and the host of Working Class Audio. Matt's credits include immersive mixes for Green Day, Alanis Morissette, and the theme for Real Time with Bill Maher, plus stereo magic on artists like Deafheaven.We kick things off recapping our AES Long Beach hang - complete with acai bowl addiction, barefoot sandbox airport vibes, and panels on everything from Japanese air-traffic AI to studio fire insurance. Matt shares how a late-night HBO downmix request accidentally birthed his simultaneous stereo/Atmos workflow, and why he now mixes midrange balance on tiny single-cone speakers before touching highs or lows.We dive into the art of collaboration: why you should wait 48 hours before sending mix notes, how to handle clients who keep salting the same sandwich, and the spreadsheet revision system that's saving everyone's sanity.Matt drops hard-earned wisdom on trusting your gut with red-flag clients, charging retrieval fees for 20-year-old sessions, and why “if it doesn't exist in three places, it doesn't exist.” We geek out over plugins (Gullfoss, Sonible Smart EQ, the return of Echo Farm), archiving nightmares, and why AI is great for laundry but still can't feel heartbreak like a human. Whether you're mixing in a bedroom or a living-room Atmos rig, this chat is pure gold for anyone who wants their tracks to outlive the hard drive.Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ The next program starts May 11, 2026 https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK30 to get 1 month free of NI 360!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://pickrmusic.com https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6tdfm7hqzhn1o8PA65I7N0?si=81dbS2cgQLO0d7M3C0vSWQIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/555
