Podcasts about risks

Gluten-free diets were initially intended for children with medical conditions such as celiac disease, wheat allergy, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity A review published in Frontiers in Nutrition found that gluten-free diets, when not medically required, can cause nutrient gaps and raise health risks for children A recent study in The American Journal of Gastroenterology found that young patients exhibited a significant increase in urinary arsenic and other metal levels after only six months on a gluten-free diet When cooked properly, white rice can be a smarter choice than brown rice because it's easier to digest, contains less arsenic and heavy metals Instead of cutting out foods that are good for your gut, include healthy carbs, choose stable fats over seed oils, and learn to calm your food fears

Housing feels like a moving target right now, and we're putting the bullseye back in view. Donnie and Eric unpack why first-time buyers are squeezed, how material costs and mill closures ripple through pricing, and where a rent-to-own model might open real doors to ownership without a $50,000 down payment. We move from the jobsite to policy and back again, breaking down what's changing, what isn't, and what has to shift to make starter homes a reality again.We start with the nuts and bolts: lumber futures are climbing into peak building season, domestic mills are shuttering, and tariffs complicate imports. That strain shows up in framing packages, bid volatility, and ultimately listing prices. Then we zoom out to the core math—median home price versus median household income now exceeds 7x in many markets, devouring affordability even before interest rates enter the chat. The three levers we keep coming back to are simple but non‑negotiable: deregulation to shorten permitting and inspections, steady construction costs to keep budgets sane, and lower rates to restore buying power.From there, we dive into a scaled rent-to-own concept for entry-level single-family homes in the $250–$350k range. Here's the structure: builders complete homes, investors purchase in bulk, and qualified tenants sign three-year leases with 20–40% of each payment credited toward a future down payment at a pre-agreed purchase price. Pros include forced savings, price certainty, and the chance to learn a house before buying. Risks include screening failures that erase credits, bureaucratic delays, and the need to push builds beyond big-city cores into rural areas where land and infrastructure make the math work. We also talk guardrails—limiting institutional buyers that outbid families—and why “local level scaling” with vetted small and mid-sized builders can raise quality while adding supply.Whether you're a buyer stuck on the sidelines, a builder navigating costs, or a homeowner watching rates, this conversation maps a practical path forward. Subscribe, share with a friend who's house hunting, and drop your biggest roadblock to ownership—we'll tackle the best questions on a future show.

Most people quit when their body screams stop, but what happens when you push 62 miles beyond that breaking point? My son, Cole, took us through his journeys in running 100 miles through Area 51's brutal Nevada desert and the Great World Race, and what unfolded wasn't just an endurance test. It was a live experiment in how far we can push human performance when recovery science meets mental fortitude. As both his father and the scientist monitoring his biometrics, I'll show you why the vast majority of athletes aren't overtrained, they're catastrophically under-recovered.

Is "developer-friendly" AI security actually possible? In this episode, Bryan Woolgar-O'Neil (CTO & Co-founder of Harmonic Security) joins Ashish to dismantle the traditional "block everything" approach to security.Bryan explains why 70% of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are running locally on developer laptops and why trying to block them is a losing battle . Instead, he advocates for a "coaching" approach, intervening in real-time to guide engineers rather than stopping their flow .We dive deep into the technical realities of MCP (Model Context Protocol), why it's becoming the standard for connecting AI to data, and the security risks of connecting it to production environments .

Immigration policy changes are emerging as a new risk factor for multifamily investors, especially in immigrant-heavy markets like Florida and Texas. Recent surveys show rising vacancies, slower leasing activity, and shifting tenant behavior tied to enforcement actions, creating operational challenges for apartment owners. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest data, explains which submarkets are feeling the most pressure, and why slower immigration growth could impact rental demand going forward. Investors will learn what to watch, how incentives are being used to offset vacancies, and why understanding submarket exposure matters more than ever.

In this episode, certified physician assistant Danielle Valores shares her expertise cultivated from over two decades in medicine—and a decade devoted to functional medicine—by diving into an issue affecting millions: breast implants and their true impact on women's health. Drawing from both scientific research and her firsthand clinical experience working with the breast implant population for the past eight years, Danielle Valores unpacks the complex history, construction, and ongoing health controversies surrounding these devices.From the origins of breast implants in the late 19th century to modern-day procedures and the growing global health crisis affecting up to 10 million women, Danielle Valores guides listeners through discoveries about complications, systemic symptoms, and regulatory oversights. She highlights the urgent need for clinicians to recognize and support patients facing breast implant-related illnesses—a topic that's often misunderstood or overlooked in mainstream medicine.Join us on February 21, 2026, as we explore the structural and immunological mechanisms driving breast implant illness, providing practitioners with evidence-based insights to support the millions of women affected worldwide.

The episode focuses on current security risks and limitations in industry intelligence, highlighting that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog often lags by years in tagging vulnerabilities exploited by ransomware. One cited vulnerability sat in the catalog for 1,353 days before being flagged as ransomware-exploited, illustrating a significant delay in actionable intelligence. This gap raises concerns for MSPs whose patching priorities rely on outdated catalogs, potentially leading to a misalignment between compliance activities and actual threat vectors.Supporting this, Dave Sobel underscores how evolving threat models frequently bypass traditional vulnerability management. The recent compromise of OpenClaw's skills marketplace, with a 12% malicious rate in submitted skills and basic post-facto reporting mechanisms, demonstrates that credential theft and malicious automation now present risks outside standard patch management. The core operational challenge for MSPs is not just software vulnerability but the governance of AI-enabled tools and uncontrolled marketplaces that can expose clients to breaches.Further contextualizing risk and automation, vendor launches include Lexful's AI-native documentation for MSPs and Cavelo Flash's agentless assessment tool. These offerings promise streamlined documentation and rapid risk assessment, but Dave Sobel notes their reliance on beta features, integration dependencies, and non-definitive compliance positions. Additionally, DocuSign's release of AI-generated contract summaries raises questions about liability, as inaccurate summaries can mislead signers, and responsibility defaults to the end user rather than the vendor.The primary implication for MSPs and technology leaders is the need to inventory all AI-powered tools with access to client environments, actively govern marketplace adoption, and critically evaluate automation claims. Compliance-focused patching is no longer sufficient; operational oversight must prioritize credential management and identity governance over checklist-based approaches. Caution is advised before rapid migration to beta solutions or locking into long-term contracts, as both reduce flexibility and increase exposure to emerging, non-traditional attack surfaces.Three things to know today00:00 CISA's Ransomware Tags Arrive Years Late While AI Tools Steal Credentials Now05:53 IT Glue Founder Launches AI Documentation Platform Lexful for MSPs at Right of Boom09:52 Cavelo and DocuSign Launch AI Tools That Automate Assessments and Contract ReviewsThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by: Small Biz Thoughts Community

In this episode of Talking Real Money, Don and Tom dig into the Washington State pension system's heavy exposure to private equity, sparked by Jason Zweig's Wall Street Journal reporting and a Seattle Times investigation. They explain why high fees, opaque valuations, and lack of liquidity make private equity especially dangerous for public retirement funds—and why Washington leads the nation in risk. The conversation expands to compare pension strategies across states, question governance and oversight, and warn retirees about the real-world consequences of excessive risk. Later, the hosts respond to a listener trapped in a high-fee, actively managed portfolio and variable annuity, illustrating how costs and complexity quietly erode wealth. The show wraps with practical retirement guidance inspired by Warren Buffett—simplify and protect—plus a discussion of converting mutual funds to ETFs for greater efficiency. 0:04 Show open, call-in invitation, and setup on private equity 0:32 Jason Zweig's WSJ reporting on private equity fees and markups 1:25 Washington State pension's heavy private equity exposure 3:23 Valuation and liquidity problems in private equity 4:35 Breakdown of WA pension assets (private equity + real estate) 5:18 Risks of market downturns and illiquidity 6:25 Who's overseeing the pension fund and their qualifications 7:06 Concerns for Washington retirees and contributors 8:28 Board “experts” and potential conflicts of interest 9:55 Difficulty exiting private equity investments 11:06 Questioning reported 12.3% returns vs public markets 11:59 Call for political accountability and reform 12:50 Comparison to states using mostly public index funds 13:35 Why private equity suffers most in downturns 14:22 Comparison of pension private equity exposure by state 15:58 Rebalancing and “emperor's clothes” concern 17:07 Caller Luke reacts to pension risks 18:11 Promotion of RetireMeet and retirement education 19:22 Warren Buffett's retirement advice: simplify and protect 20:28 Risk reduction and advisor role in retirement 21:26 Fiduciary standards and conflicts of interest 22:55 Emphasis on simple, protective portfolios 23:07 Caller Jane asks about high advisory fees 24:40 Discussion of “active management” risks 26:12 Review of proposed funds and red flags 29:57 Analysis of high-fee, high-turnover portfolio 30:57 Concentration and volatility concerns 32:16 Variable annuity warning signs 33:37 Commission conflicts and surrender charges 33:57 Recommendation to change advisors 34:56 Recap of excessive fees and risks 36:33 Importance of honest warnings vs future losses 37:48 Question on converting Vanguard mutual funds to ETFs 38:52 Advantages of ETFs: cost, tax efficiency, liquidity Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Talking Real Money, Don and Tom take aim at “magical” high-yield investments, focusing on why junk bond funds often behave more like risky stocks than stable bonds. Drawing on research from Larry Swedroe, they explain how high fees, high turnover, and economic sensitivity undermine the appeal of high-yield funds—especially during recessions. They reinforce the core principle that higher returns always mean higher risk and argue that investors are usually better served taking risk in equities and safety in high-quality bonds. Listener questions cover HSAs in retirement, Roth IRAs for young investors, backdoor Roth conversions, and the Vanguard Star Fund. The episode closes with discussion of RetireMeet 2026 and the importance of long-term, disciplined investing. 0:04 Opening: Wanting high returns with no risk 1:02 Introduction to “magical” high-yield investments 1:10 Larry Swedroe's research on junk bond funds 2:20 Investment-grade vs. high-yield bonds explained 4:29 Bankruptcy risk and bondholder losses 5:49 Returns, volatility, and stock-like behavior 6:36 Risk-adjusted returns and Sharpe ratios 7:47 Why passive beats active in junk bonds 8:35 2008 losses in high-yield funds 9:36 “Yield is for farmers” and risk perspective 10:42 Why higher yield always means higher risk 11:08 Bonds as portfolio ballast 12:17 Why equities are better for risk-taking 12:27 HSA investing for medical expenses 13:56 Roth IRA for grandson with long time horizon 15:18 Backdoor Roth conversion tax question 17:57 Vanguard Star Fund discussion 19:03 Active vs. index fund comparisons Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when activists decide they are the police?

Resilience is the buzzword of the moment—from Gerard's personal resilience on display in Davos last week to the critical issue of grid resilience.  The great Doug Houseman draws a useful distinction between reliability and resilience. “Reliability is about how well you keep the lights on, while resilience is about how quickly you can restore power after an outage.”  Over the past year, blackouts caused by extreme weather, human error, and physical attacks have exposed an uncomfortable truth: electricity is no longer invisible background infrastructure. It is the backbone of modern society, and when it fails, everything else quickly follows.  To explore these challenges, Laurent and Gerard sit down with Ronny Fiuren, one of the Nordics' sharpest thinkers on energy. Ronny is the Founder of Mylicia Energy, an executive board member, and a strategic business developer with deep expertise in power markets, energy flexibility, and grid-oriented solutions.  Together, they discuss why resilience has evolved from a technical afterthought into a strategic priority, and what recent events across Europe and North America are really telling us about the condition of our power grids.  The conversation examines how decentralisation, flexibility, and the use of advanced technologies and AI matter more than ever. It also highlights the need for a shift in mindset, not only among grid operators but also regulators.  They explore the value of interconnectors in strengthening power systems, while also unpacking their political dimensions and the strong public emotions that can emerge when electricity prices rise suddenly.  Beyond weather-related disruptions and cyber threats, the discussion turns to new risks such as deliberate sabotage and how energy systems can be designed to cope with them.  From Scandinavia to the rest of Europe, this is a timely conversation about how to build power systems capable of withstanding shocks in an increasingly electrified and digital world.----Read Ember Europe Electricity Review  https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/european-electricity-review-2026/

The episode centers on the structural shift in managed services driven by the adoption of autonomous AI agents and the resulting accountability challenges for IT service providers. According to Dave Sobel, 22% of employees in Token Security's surveyed organizations are independently running AI agents such as OpenClaw with terminal and browser command capabilities, without formal IT oversight. This widespread shadow automation creates significant operational and security exposure, indicating unsanctioned user demand for advanced automation that IT has not provided. The core risk is not simply unauthorized technology use, but ineffective governance and lack of visibility into automation processes that can impact both client safety and provider liability.Context provided throughout the episode points to a disconnect between optimistic business sentiment and actionable IT spending. While the NFIB index reflects rising small business optimism and increased capital access, most technology-related investments appear to have already been made in prior periods. Only 19% of small businesses plan further equipment investments, suggesting limited near-term demand. Meanwhile, SBA workforce reductions signal longer loan processing times, affecting clients who depend on SBA-backed funding for technology projects—a concrete operational delay for MSPs whose services are linked to client capital expenditure timelines.Additional discussion focuses on evolving industry economics, notably a projected increase in the North American IT services market to $1.09 trillion by 2033, as reported by Research and Markets. However, Dave Sobel emphasizes that the majority of this growth is captured by hyperscalers and large integrators, not regional MSPs. Cooling wage inflation, detailed by Service Leadership, may present temporary margin opportunities but also introduces risk if MSPs respond with indiscriminate hiring rather than automation or upskilling strategies. The Shield Technology Partners investment, involving OpenAI's embedded research in IT operations, signals rapid automation of rules-based workflows and reiterates the urgency of addressing task displacement and margin compression.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the practical takeaway is clear: unmanaged, employee-driven AI automation presents both risk exposure and a mapping of unmet service demand. Blocking shadow agents is a reactive measure—long-term resilience depends on developing agent governance frameworks, including permissioning, audit, and incident response protocols. With shrinking margins and increasing automation, providers must reevaluate operational models, prioritize revenue-per-employee, and focus on delivering accountable, sanctioned automation services rather than competing on basic labor cost or commodity support.Four things to know today00:00  NFIB Index Hits 99.5 as 64% Face Inflation and SBA Cuts Half Its Workforce04:44  IT Services Market Growth to $1.09T Coincides With Declining Wage Inflation08:01  Shield Secures Second $100M From OpenAI-Backed Thrive Holdings for AI Operations Platform11:21  Token Security Reports 22% Shadow IT Adoption of OpenClawThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by: MSP Radio - Internal Ad

Preeclampsia is one of those pregnancy conditions that gets mentioned often, explained poorly, and frequently dismissed until it suddenly isn't. In this episode, HeHe sits down with Dr. Dallas Reed to pull back the curtain on what preeclampsia actually is, how it shows up, and what expectant parents deserve to understand long before things feel urgent. Together, they break down the basics in a way that's clear and human, including how common preeclampsia really is, what symptoms to take seriously, and how to make sense of blood pressure readings and pregnancy-related hypertension diagnoses. Dr. Reed explains the differences between severe and non-severe preeclampsia, what monitoring can look like before and after 37 weeks, and why postpartum preeclampsia deserves more attention than it often gets. The conversation also explores prevention and management, including lifestyle considerations, aspirin use, and how care plans may differ depending on risk level, gestational age, and whether someone is being monitored inpatient or outpatient. A major focus of the episode is the future of personalized maternal care, including a deep dive into the Encompass test. This new RNA-based blood test, available between 18 and 22 weeks, helps identify pregnancies at higher risk for preeclampsia and pairs that insight with an evidence-based action plan and virtual support. Dr. Reed shares how this type of testing may change the way providers and families approach monitoring, communication, and early intervention, including potential benefits for out-of-hospital birth settings. This episode is grounded, evidence-based, and empowering, offering expectant parents tools, language, and understanding so they can participate confidently in their care rather than feeling blindsided by it.   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction to Preeclampsia 00:56 Welcome to The Birth Lounge Podcast 01:39 Features of The Birth Lounge App 03:00 Pregnancy and Postpartum Articles 04:54 Introduction to Today's Episode 07:47 Discussion with Dr. Dallas Reed 08:35 Understanding Preeclampsia 10:46 Symptoms and Diagnosis 18:56 Managing Blood Pressure During Pregnancy 22:37 Risk Factors and Prevention 31:59 Strategies to Prevent Preeclampsia 32:29 Healthy Lifestyle Recommendations 33:37 Monitoring and Follow-Up 35:05 Risks and Complications of Preeclampsia 37:05 Postpartum Preeclampsia 39:20 Managing Preeclampsia Before 37 Weeks 41:20 Inpatient Care and Medications 46:22 Understanding the Encompass Test 53:06 Benefits of the Encompass Test for Home Births 58:19 Final Thoughts and Resources   Guest Bio: Dr. Dallas Reed, practicing OBGYN, medical geneticist and advisor to Mirvie, a company delivering data-driven solutions for predictive and preventive care in pregnancy.

In Episode 142 of SITREP, hosts CannCon and Alpha Warrior break down recent developments surrounding federal enforcement actions, operational authority, and the growing tension between jurisdiction and political pressure. The discussion focuses on how rules of engagement, command structure, and legal authority shape outcomes during high-risk situations, particularly when narratives move faster than facts. CannCon and Alpha walk through why misunderstandings around enforcement powers, escalation thresholds, and response protocols can fuel confusion and public backlash. The episode also examines the strategic implications of restraint, timing, and discipline when institutions are under scrutiny and actions are being dissected in real time. Throughout the conversation, the hosts emphasize situational awareness, chain of command, and the difference between lawful authority and emotional reaction. Episode 142 offers a grounded assessment of how enforcement decisions are made, why escalation is not always the objective, and how clarity matters when pressure is mounting across multiple fronts.

About 13.4% of U.S. women of reproductive age struggle with infertility, leading many to pursue assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) like in vitro fertilization ARTs help initiate pregnancy but raise concerns such as multiple births, high financial costs, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, elevated stress, and emerging evidence linking them to long-term heart disease risk A long-term study that followed women for 12 years found each additional ART cycle was associated with higher cardiovascular disease risk The increased cardiovascular risk centered on pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, showing that ART-related heart risk involves dangerous clot formation rather than gradual blood pressure or artery disease Programmed frozen embryo transfer cycles showed stronger heart disease associations, highlighting that hormone protocol choices during fertility treatment can influence long-term cardiovascular outcomes years after pregnancy

Discover why the future of AI at work is more human than you think. Vinay Gidwaney, Chief Product Officer at OneDigital, shares how treating AI agents as talent rather than technology is changing AI adoption at work. He explains people-first change management, managing AI coworkers, building trust in human AI teams, and why real transformation depends on equity, access, and better decision-making.Key Moments:AI as a Coworker (01:45): Vinay introduces “Ben,” an AI benefits consultant at OneDigital, to illustrate a fundamentally different way of thinking about AI at work. Instead of positioning AI as automation or replacement, he explains how AI coworkers are designed to augment human expertise and support better decision-making.Hiring, Training, and Managing AI Like Employees (04:20): Vinay walks through OneDigital's intern-to-apprentice model for AI, including job descriptions, cultural fit, human managers, and ongoing supervision. He shows how applying HR rigor to AI builds trust, accountability, and clarity while helping employees see AI as part of the team, not a threat.Why AI Projects Fail: The Misguided Focus on Tools over Talent (10:45): Vinay argues that AI fails when treated like a traditional IT rollout. He emphasizes that AI adoption is fundamentally a people and change-management challenge, calling on HR leaders to lead the shift in how humans and AI work together.Recognizing the Limits and Risks of AI Automation (23:10): Vinay explains why fully autonomous AI agents often fall short in knowledge-based organizations. He cautions leaders to be skeptical of automation-first promises and introduces a more realistic model centered on cognition, human oversight, and thoughtful ROI evaluation.The Future of Work in an AI World (38:10):  Vinay reflects on his career and argues that software alone is no longer a defensible moat. He emphasizes speed, insight, services, and human judgment as the true sources of lasting value.Key Quotes:“ If you treat AI like any other technology that you've adopted in your company.

Global channel sales in IT are projected to exceed $4 trillion this year, with two-thirds of total spending driven by partner-led deals, according to Omdia research. However, managed service providers (MSPs) continue to encounter significant integration failures following mergers and acquisitions, leading to operational inefficiencies and diminished client trust. The Business of Tech analysis highlights that stacking acquisitions without comprehensive integration amplifies risks, particularly affecting margins, service consistency, and accountability.Supporting survey data from POPX indicates that 60% of UK MSPs report platform and data integration as critical hurdles post-acquisition, while 44% identify poor morale and lack of team alignment as sources of inefficiency. Notably, 38% experienced client disruption during transitional periods, signaling that rapid growth without sufficient operational coherence creates drag rather than leverage. These issues are compounded by rising technology budgets—nearly 75% of organizations expect increased IT spending—and intensifying reliance on AI and cloud services in MSP environments.Additional stories addressed include the widespread adoption of unsanctioned "Shadow AI" tools in healthcare settings, with over 40% of workers aware of unapproved usage, and the increasing tendency for AI platforms to reference general sources like YouTube over traditional medical authorities. The episode further examines new AI-driven arbitration tools, platform consolidations within managed security, and the centralization of authority across purchasing and service delivery ecosystems. Vendor integrations, such as Synchro's marketplace partnership with Ironscales and LevelBlue's acquisition of AlertLogic's unit, illustrate a shift away from component choices towards streamlined, but potentially opaque, accountability structures.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the central takeaway is not the urgency to adopt new tools, but the necessity to clarify ownership, governance, and liability as technology platforms accelerate efficiency and centralize control. Failure to address integration fundamentals, define formal oversight for AI-driven decisions, and maintain transparency amid automation will expose service providers to unpriced risks and erode client trust. Sustained growth is contingent upon operational discipline, not just expanding portfolios. Four things to know today 00:00 Channel Growth Accelerates While MSP Integration Failures Threaten Margins and Trust03:58 New Research Shows Agentic AI Adoption Outpacing Governance and Workforce Readiness07:25 AI Interfaces, Security Consolidation, and MSP Marketplaces Point to a Shift in Where Authority Lives10:27 AAA's AI Arbitrator Shows How Automation Changes Who Owns Decisions, Not Just How Fast They're Made This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: 

Forty years ago this week, the space shuttle Challenger exploded in flight, 73 seconds after liftoff from Cape Canaveral. All seven crew members were killed. In the months that followed, the tragedy was traced to a failed O-ring in one of the shuttle's rocket boosters. Now, with the Artemis II mission preparing for launch to lunar orbit, what have we learned about spaceflight and risk? Former astronaut Jim Wetherbee joins Host Ira Flatow to remember the Challenger tragedy, and look ahead to the age of private spaceflight and the upcoming Artemis II mission.Guest: Jim Wetherbee is a former NASA astronaut, the former head of flight crew operations for NASA, and the author of Controlling Risk: Thirty Techniques for Operating Excellence.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
