AI search can confidently send someone to a surgeon who's retired, connect them to a competing office's phone number by mistake, or invent a reputation out of two or three scattered reviews. None of it happens because the system is trying to deceive anyone — it happens because these tools are built to sound certain, not to be accurate.Monique talks with Ryan Miller, CEO of Etna Interactive, a digital marketing agency that works with hundreds of plastic surgery practices nationwide, including LJCSC.Ryan recently spoke to hundreds of surgeons on this topic at the Aesthetic Society's annual meeting, sounding the alarm about a wave of practices gaming AI search and claiming to be “ranked number one” with no defined scale to back it up.He walks through why AI search compresses the old click-and-read research cycle into one confident answer, why ChatGPT leans on a certain site's reviews, and why enforcement against false claims is so rare that bad actors are currently being rewarded for it.Ryan also shares the three questions worth asking in a live consultation, why a surgeon willing to say “no” deserves more trust than one who never does, and how to fact-check an AI recommendation before it becomes a decision with lifelong consequences.Learn more about Ryan Miller, CEO of Etna InteractiveConnect with Ryan on LinkedInLearn more about La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery CentreQuestions answered by this episodeHow is AI search different from a regular Google search?Can a plastic surgeon legally claim to be “ranked number one” online?Why would a practice with a perfect five-star rating actually be rated lower everywhere else?Does ChatGPT use Google reviews to recommend a plastic surgeon?Can AI recommend a surgeon who has retired or passed away?Who regulates false advertising by plastic surgeons?How fast can misinformation about a practice spread through AI search?What questions should I ask a plastic surgeon during a consultation?Should I trust an AI recommendation when choosing a plastic surgeon?What's the best way to verify a surgeon's credentials before booking a consultation?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

Is AI a bubble?AI infrastructure investing is the question defining private capital in 2026 and most fund managers are answering it wrong.In this episode of Making Billions, Ryan Miller asks the sharper question: where in the AI capital stack do contracted, asset-backed cash flows actually live? This episode delivers the framework every serious allocator needs. Not hype. A five-rung capital stack separating infrastructure money from bubble money and a scoring tool making it impossible to confuse the two in a live deal.The pattern has played out before. In 1999, dot-com equity was vaporized, trillions gone. The fiber laid during that bubble still carries traffic 25 years later. The bubble lived in the equity. The durable money lived in the infrastructure. AI is following the exact same pattern in real time. Allocators who see both things at once come out of this era wealthy.[THE HOST]: Ryan Miller is a fund manager, capital strategist, and former CFO turned angel investor in technology and energy.

You are reading something that was written in paragraph format, with complete sentences, grammar, nouns, and verbs. That's not how Ryan Miller of the beloved band Guster likes it. Ryan enjoys lists. Likes reading them, creating them, and relying on the whole idea of ordered verticality. He tells us about the extensive playlist of songs he always keeps handy for his kids, how this list has been around for many years, how it has seen some editing with certain artists losing favor and being dropped, and how there is no Guster on that list. Ryan also fills us in on which bands and artists are really nice people so you can listen to them with confidence. Ryan doesn't tell us which bands and artists are real jerks (he says there are very few of them) because that might cause you to lose sleep. Take an ordered approach to dozing off with our Ryan Miller episode. Listen to Ryan Miller's "Best of the Best - Nines and Dimes" on Spotify.

Ryan Miller felt God call him to Nigeria--and there his entire perspective on life, success, and faith flipped upside down. He saw intense persecution of Christians but also experienced a personal call to his own radical faithfulness. Now, he carries his message forward to encourage others to trust in God's plan and live lives set on fire, or as he beautifully explains: to live "Meek as A Mustang."

One in three GP partnerships fail or fundamentally restructure within the first five years; not because capital dried up or deal flow collapsed, but because two people who built something together stopped moving in the same direction. In this episode of Making Billions with Ryan Miller, he reveals the most expensive mistake in fund management: optimizing for chemistry instead of complementarity. The "Founder Best Friend Effect" — partnering with peers who validate you instead of challenge you — is the silent killer of co-GP relationships that look perfect on day one and implode by year three. Ryan delivers three non-negotiables every fund manager must verify before signing a partnership agreement.[THE HOST]: Ryan Miller is a fund manager, capital strategist, and former CFO turned angel investor in technology and energy.

Episode 354 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features San Jose Sharks first round draft pick Joshua Ravensbergen. In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Ravensbergen talks about his path and lessons from not being drafted into the WHL to being a first round pick in the NHL, and about wrapping up his time with the Prince George Cougars by winning the WHL goalie of the year award, and now heading to Michigan State to play NCAA hockey next season. Ranvensbergen shares some great insights into the evolution of his style and strengths, about how he would specifically watch and study goalies at the levels ahead of him rather than always focusing on NHL goalies, what its been like to learn from retired NHL star Ryan Miller with the Sharks, and more. In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about summer plans for young goalies and the hazards of skill sessions that can reduce them to target practice.

Nate hits the road to Utica to catch up with Erin Hamlin, a Remsen native and one of the most decorated athletes in USA Luge history. Erin reflects on her journey to the Olympic stage, highlighted by her historic bronze medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

In this conversation, Erin shares what it took to compete at the highest level, the challenges along the way, and what that moment meant for her and the sport in the United States. Nate is joined by co-host Rich Turnbull, who helped coordinate this interview. The episode was recorded at MVCC's thINCubator in Utica, with special thanks to Ryan Miller for the use of the studio.
The Giants may be trying to get bigger and tougher up front, but they could weaken both lines if Dexter Lawrence's contract fight drags on while Daniel Faalele becomes part of the answer on the offensive line. Is this a smart trench reset or a wrong bet that could backfire before Week 1?Follow us on Spotify so you do not miss an episode, and if you listen on Apple, please drop a 5-star rating and review to help more Giants fans find the show.In this episode, Drew and Rob go hard on what feels like the real pressure point of the Giants offseason: the trenches. Dexter Lawrence skipping the voluntary program as his contract situation hangs over the team is not just normal spring drama. It puts the entire defensive line under a microscope, because the Giants cannot replace what he means to that front if this gets uglier. The guys break down why they still think this is more about money than a true desire to leave, where Joe Shane may have mishandled the timing, and why the team now has almost no clean options if the standoff lasts any longer. If the Giants want to build a nasty, physical defense, how do they pull that off without their most dominant lineman fully settled? And if they cave too quickly, how do they protect themselves from paying for past production instead of future dominance?On the other side, the Daniel Faalele signing turns into a full-blown debate about whether the Giants are making another risky bet on the offensive line. Drew is openly worried this is the kind of Harbaugh-linked move fans were afraid of, especially if Faalele is viewed as a real starting option instead of just cheap depth. The guys get into his ugly recent grading, why Ravens fans were glad to see him go, and why right guard still feels unsettled even after another body was added. Is this just harmless competition, or is it a bad priority for a team that still needs a real answer in front of its quarterback?They also hit Paulson Adebo missing the offseason program and why that rubbed them the wrong way, the latest timeline on Cam Skattebo and Malik Nabers, Ryan Miller coming back, Kayvon Thibodeaux trade chatter, and Dennard Wilson's vision for a violent, suffocating New York defense. But the heart of the episode is simple: if the Giants do not get the lines right, everything else gets a lot harder.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show
