In this episode, Will Landry, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, FMOL Health, discusses expanding Epic through community partnerships, ambient AI for providers and nurses, and optimizing technology amid budget and reimbursement pressures. He also shares his strategy for modernizing IT and using technology to improve efficiency across the health system.

How can an independent safety evaluation remain meaningful when the AI inside a product may change after its next update? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Dr. Robert Slone, Senior Vice President, Chief Scientist, and Innovation Officer at UL Solutions. Robert has spent almost 30 years leading science, research, product development, and innovation teams. He now helps guide UL Solutions' scientific work across safety, security, and sustainability. Many listeners will recognize the UL Mark without knowing what happens behind it. Robert explains how UL Solutions tests products to their limits, which can involve setting them on fire, finding their breaking points, inspecting manufacturing facilities, and determining whether they meet defined safety requirements. That work began over 130 years ago when electricity was introducing unfamiliar risks. Today, the same broad question applies to artificial intelligence: how can society benefit from a new technology while understanding and managing the harm it could cause? The need is becoming increasingly visible as AI moves into healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, financial services, infrastructure, and consumer products. Robert recalls being approached about evaluating an AI-enabled teddy bear capable of talking with children. It is a memorable example of how decisions made inside an AI model can reach directly into everyday life. Robert organizes AI product safety around three pillars. The technical pillar considers robustness, risk management, functional safety, and whether the system performs its intended purpose. The ethical pillar includes fairness, bias, privacy, transparency, and explainability. Governance covers data management, product updates, accountability, and the complete operating life of the system. We also discuss one of the hardest problems in AI certification. Traditional products and software can be evaluated against a defined version, but AI systems may be updated, retrained, or affected by changing data. Robert explains why meaningful safety assurance requires version-specific testing, annual reviews, disclosure of significant changes, and eventually telemetry capable of identifying problems much closer to real time. For business leaders buying AI, the conversation provides a practical vendor checklist. Where did the training data come from? How was performance measured? What are the system's known limitations? How were privacy and bias assessed? Who takes responsibility if its behavior changes? Independent testing cannot promise that an evolving product will remain safe forever. It can provide evidence about the version evaluated, expose gaps, establish accountability, and create a process for monitoring future changes. What proof would you demand before allowing an AI product to influence an employee, patient, customer, or child? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.    

Could allowing patients to choose their own appointment times help reduce missed visits and shorten NHS waiting lists? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Alison MacDonald, European Lead and Senior Vice President at Nordic Global. Alison brings an unusual combination of clinical and technology experience as a registered nurse who moved into digital health over 15 years ago. Her career began in community nursing, where she was asked to lead an electronic health record project because colleagues thought she was good with computers. What initially appeared to be a simple exercise in converting paper forms into digital records encouraged her to question whether healthcare could redesign the process rather than copy it onto a screen. We discuss Nordic's work with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust on patient self-scheduling and automated earlier appointment offers. Before the program, missed outpatient appointments were removing valuable clinical capacity while administrative teams spent time calling patients and rearranging bookings. Cambridge introduced self-scheduling through Epic MyChart, allowing patients to select appointment times through the patient portal. Alison says the DNA rate fell from 5% to 2.2% during the program. According to the supplied results, over 20,000 patients successfully scheduled their own appointments and over 3,000 accepted offers to attend earlier when cancellations created availability. Patients moved appointments forward by an average of 16 days. Forty percent of accepted earlier appointments occurred within seven days of the offer, while 7% took place on the same or following day. Administrative teams also saved an estimated ten minutes for every self-booked appointment. Alison explains why patient control can improve attendance. People can choose times that work around employment, caring responsibilities, travel, and family life instead of receiving a fixed appointment through a letter or telephone call. Patients can also cancel or reschedule without waiting for somebody to answer the phone. The operational lesson goes beyond appointment booking. Healthcare systems may be able to recover existing capacity by examining missed appointments, theater scheduling, waiting list processes, pre-visit questionnaires, and patient communications before concluding that every problem requires additional staff or facilities. We also discuss where AI is producing practical results in healthcare. Alison points to medical imaging, emergency department triage, waiting list management, clinical documentation, and workforce deployment. She warns against discussing AI as one generic solution because each application requires a defined use case, suitable data, workable processes, governance, and staff adoption. Ambient clinical documentation offers one example. An AI scribe can record a consultation, prepare a structured note, and pass it to the clinician for review and correction. Alison cites an NHS evaluation reporting a 23.5% increase in direct patient interaction time and an 8.2% reduction in appointment length. Interoperability remains another major challenge. Healthcare journeys cross hospitals, primary care, community services, and specialist providers that may use different systems or a mixture of electronic and paper records. Even basic differences, such as one organization measuring pain on a five-point scale and another using ten points, can prevent reliable comparison. Alison recommends agreeing on common data standards, defining the minimum patient information required during care transitions, including interoperability requirements in procurement, and avoiding bespoke integrations that make future information sharing harder. Digital access also requires balance. Online services can improve convenience, but healthcare providers must retain appropriate alternatives for patients who lack digital skills, connectivity, confidence, or access. Could your healthcare organization improve patient access and staff capacity by redesigning one familiar process before purchasing another large technology platform? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

(This episode originally aired on February 10, 2026. Dr. Omar Lateef has since announced his intention to retire from Rush Health in June 2027.) As financial pressure mounts and the healthcare safety net continues to strain, academic medical centers are drawing on their culture of innovation to pursue better outcomes — and narrow life expectancy gaps in the communities they serve. In this episode of Radio Advisory, host Rae Woods sits down with leaders from Rush University Medical Center to explore how health systems can stay focused on results amid tightening margins, political scrutiny, and ongoing uncertainty in grant funding. Dr. Omar Lateef, President and CEO of Rush, and Dr. David Ansell, Senior Vice President for Community Health Equity, describe how Rush treats gap-reduction as a long-term operating strategy rather than a moral or messaging exercise. They share practical examples of how local partnerships, targeted investments, and day-to-day operational choices can improve outcomes while still making financial sense — and why avoiding battles over language helps keep the focus squarely on results.

It’s Party For Two, and Jerry is joined by Will Stewart, Senior Vice President at Enterprise Canada, to break down the federal government’s counter‑tariff announcement. Next, Jerry continues the tariff conversation with Bill Carroll, host of The Bill Carroll Show on NEWSTALK 1010. Jerry speaks with Renaud Brossard, VP of Communications at the Montreal Economic Institute, about why Canadian counter‑tariffs will ultimately be paid for by Canadians, what the MEI sees as the real economic impact, and what alternatives might work better.

A lot of the conversation on retirement runs one way: stay busy, stay productive. Dr. Denise Taylor thinks that could quietly cost some people their best years. Denise is a Chartered Psychologist and later-life researcher in the UK. She spent 25 years coaching people through career transitions, then, at 61, went back to school herself, completing a professional doctorate on how people reconstruct meaning after full-time work. Her research subjects were all at least two years past retirement, deliberately, because the first two years tell you very little. What she found in them became the backbone of her new book, ThriveSpan: Walking Gently Into What Matters Now. The extra years we have gained, she argues, arrive roughly between 60 and 80, while health usually still holds. Spending them duplicating the shape of your working life is a decision, and it’s not right for everyone. Her alternative is not reinvention, which she calls exhausting, but recalibration: a reset in which you subtract before you add. She is also candid about her own path. Leaving a twenty-year marriage. Four days and four nights alone in nature with no food and no tent. A doctorate that started the October before COVID. Four acres of woodland that taught her, at last, how to stop moving fast. We discuss why purpose does not have to be a cathedral, why she stopped dyeing her hair on principle, what her research says about curiosity and being of service, why you should imagine the future you do not want, and why saying no is the most underrated skill in later life. Retirement is different for everyone and we have choices. Denise argues against a continue to work narrative, and she argues strongly. If you’re a listener who loves their work, or who needs the income, shear her as offering choice rather than a verdict. ________________________ Bio Dr. Denise Taylor is a Chartered Psychologist, later-life researcher, and widely published author whose work explores how we can live well as we age. With more than 25 years’ experience supporting career and life transitions, she has written extensively on work, identity, ageing, and meaning in later life. Her work has been featured by the BBC, ITV, and national newspapers. Her previous books include Career Coaching for Midlife and Beyond, Rethinking Retirement for Positive Ageing , and Find Work at 50+. Her doctoral research into meaning after full-time work won the Research by a Career Development Professional award in 2024. ThriveSpan: Walking Gently Into What Matters Now offers a reflective, psychologically grounded approach to later life, integrating research, lived experience, and the restorative influence of nature. Denise writes the Substack newsletter Ageing Reimagined and is a regular contributor to the i Paper. She lives in Gloucestershire, where time spent in her woodland continues to inspire both her writing and her approach to later life. _______________________ For More on Denise Taylor Substack – https://ageingreimagined.substack.com/ ThriveSpan – https://denisetaylor.co.uk/thrivespan/ Website – https://denisetaylor.co.uk/ _______________________ Other Retirement Podcast Conversations You’ll Also Love Inspired Retirement – Nathalie Martin Re-Visioning Retirement – Susan Reid, PhD Joyspan – Kerry Burnight, PhD _______________________ Wise Quotes On Recalibrating “You don’t have to reinvent yourself.

Good companies don't automatically get noticed. And doing good work isn't enough to ensure that customers, investors, journalists, communities, or increasingly AI systems understand why your company matters.Melissa Baldwin has spent more than 20 years exclusively in energy and climate communications. As Senior Vice President at Tigercomm and host of the Scaling Clean podcast, she's had a front-row seat to what helps companies earn attention and trust, and what causes otherwise strong companies to remain largely invisible.Melissa and Nico dig into why communications is routinely underfunded, why executive silence is itself a strategic choice, and what the best companies do differently to become useful sources of information for their markets. Melissa shares examples from Zillow and Redfin, explains why proprietary data can create authority far beyond traditional promotional content, and makes the case for giving CEOs a much larger role in telling the company story.Then they turn to a rapidly changing question: what happens when discovery moves from Google search results to AI-generated answers? Melissa explains how longer, more specific prompts are changing search behavior, why mentions and credible third-party sources increasingly matter, and how companies can begin auditing whether they even show up when an AI system is asked who matters in their category. The conversation also explores why community engagement should be treated as project risk management and why developers need to begin earning local trust long before they need an approval.Expect to learn:

We are thrilled to share this Special Edition COBT. Continuing our California Series, we had the opportunity to tour the Diablo Canyon Power Plant and sit down with Maureen Zawalick, Senior Vice President and Chief Risk Officer at PG&E Corporation, and Matt Crozat, Executive Director of Strategy and Policy Development at the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). Our visit was particularly timely as the U.S. Department of Energy recently awarded PG&E $271 million to support extended operations at Diablo Canyon, while Governor Gavin Newsom recently indicated he would leave the decision on extending the plant beyond 2030 to the next administration. Diablo Canyon produces nearly 10% of California's electricity and is the state's only operating nuclear power plant. In our conversation, we explore Diablo Canyon's history and critical role in California's power system, the remarkable shift from plans to close the plant to extending its operating life, and how rising electricity demand, electrification, AI, and data centers are reshaping the state's energy outlook. We discuss the broader nuclear renaissance, the importance of preserving and investing in existing nuclear plants, and the role nuclear power plays in providing affordable, reliable power and grid stability. We cover the regulatory path for Diablo Canyon beyond 2030, the benefits of long-term planning for workforce retention and uranium procurement, and the plant's impact on electricity affordability. Maureen shares PG&E's approach to safety and risk management, including seismic safety, water use and environmental stewardship, wildfire, cyber, AI, and the importance of culture and processes in managing risk. We discuss Diablo Canyon's relationship with the surrounding community and the importance of public engagement and outreach. We end by looking ahead to new nuclear technologies and SMRs, changing attitudes toward nuclear energy at both the state and federal levels, California's nuclear moratorium, and the need for durable, long-term energy policy. We also discuss the connection between affordable and reliable electricity, manufacturing, economic competitiveness, and where businesses ultimately choose to invest and grow. It was a fascinating discussion and an incredible opportunity to see Diablo Canyon firsthand.

In this episode of An Educated Guest, host Todd Zipper sits down with Justin Draeger, Senior Vice President of Affordability at the Strada Education Foundation and former President & CEO of NASFAA. Drawing on decades of experience at the center of federal financial aid policy, Justin offers a nuanced, insider perspective on the real drivers behind the $1.7 trillion national student debt burden, the erosion of public trust in higher education, and why fixing affordability requires looking far beyond top-line sticker prices.Together, Todd and Justin explore how postsecondary institutions can restore confidence by focusing on true value and workforce alignment. They dive deep into Strada's research on what makes a credential "worth having," the hidden costs associated with time to completion, the transformative impact of paid work-based learning, and how innovative models like Direct Admissions are removing traditional friction points for first-generation and low-income students.Finally, Justin shares his perspective on the future of federal policy, state-level governance, and non-degree credentials in a rapidly changing economy. Despite current headwinds and skepticism, Justin outlines a compelling vision for how higher education can fulfill its promise as the primary engine of social mobility and the American Dream.

Esther Gokhale asks another question: How are we using our bodies during all the hours when we aren’t exercising? Esther Gokhale, creator of the Gokhale Method, became interested in posture after experiencing a severe L5-S1 disc herniation while pregnant with her first child. Surgery was followed by another herniation, and she began searching more broadly for ways to change how she moved in everyday life. In this conversation, Esther explains why she considers posture a missing pillar of wellness and why she believes ordinary activities (walking, sitting, standing, bending and even lying down) can become what she calls “life exercises.” We explore why sitting itself may not (completely) deserve its terrible reputation, what she means by a “J-spine,” how walking mechanics affect the entire body, and what modern adults can learn from young children and populations whose traditional movement patterns have been preserved. Most encouragingly for people in the second half of life, Esther argues that we should distinguish between what becomes common with age and what is necessarily natural. Her message is clear that our capacity for improvement often lasts much longer than we assume. _____________________ Bio Esther Gokhale (GO-clay) has been involved in integrative therapies all her life. As a young girl growing up in India, she helped her mother, a nurse, treat abandoned babies waiting to be adopted. This early interest in healing led her to study biochemistry at Harvard and Princeton and, later, acupuncture at the San Francisco School of Oriental Medicine. After experiencing crippling back pain during her first pregnancy and unsuccessful back surgery, Esther Gokhale began her lifelong crusade to vanquish back pain. Her studies at the Aplomb® Institute in Paris and years of research in Brazil, India, Portugal and elsewhere led her to develop the Gokhale Method, a unique, systematic approach to help people find their bodies' way back to pain-free living. Gokhale’s book, 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back, has been translated into ten languages. Esther Gokhale has taught at corporations such as Google & IDEO, presented at conferences including TEDx(Stanford), consulted for the trainers of the SF 49ers and several Stanford sports teams, and conducted workshops for physician groups at Stanford, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, UCSF. The New York Times gave Esther the title “The Posture Guru of Silicon Valley. A Stanford clinical trial is currently studying the Gokhale Method. _____________________ For More on Esther Gokhale Website – Gokhale Method 2-minute Video Overview of the Gokhale Method  8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back by Esther Gokhale ____________________ Other Retirement Podcasts You May Like The Joy of Movement – Kelly McGonigal Eat Your Ice Cream – Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, PhD Make Your Next Years Your Best Years – Harry Agress, MD _____________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

Thania Farrar, Senior Vice President of Corporate Innovation at Burke, joins Lenny Murphy to explore how the firm is evolving from traditional market research toward decision intelligence. They discuss building AI-enabled systems that connect fragmented data, deliver insight closer to the moment of decision, and preserve the value of expert judgment.

Fergal Mullen left Ireland at 18 on an athletics scholarship and has spent 25 years in venture — first inside a NASDAQ-listed consultancy, then at Highland Capital Partners in Boston, before spinning out its European arm in 2012 to co-found Highland Europe. The firm now manages close to €4 billion, sees around 3,000 companies a year, and invests in seven or eight. Very few people can tell founders what happens on the other side of the table with that much of a funnel behind them.In this conversation, we get into:What “coachable founder” actually means — and why the softest criterion on Highland Europe's list is the one that decides.The bar for a growth-stage cheque: €10M+ revenue, 50%+ growth, and unit economics that treat investors' capital with respect.Why Highland Europe scrapped the Monday partner pitch and meets founders at their own offices — and what they read from how you treat your team.The pitch that won an investment without a single slide.How the firm separates foundational AI businesses from wrappers a single model release could erase.If you're an Irish founder — raising now or a few years out — this episode is a look at exactly what the other side of the table is checking for.Fergal Mullen is a co-founder and Partner at Highland Europe, the growth-stage technology investment firm based in London and Geneva.Prior to founding Highland Europe, Fergal was a Partner at Highland Capital Partners, where he launched the firm's European investment program in 2007.Over the course of his career, Fergal has been involved with a number of leading technology companies, including Coremetrics (acquired by IBM), GlassesDirect (acquired by Essilor), Wooga (acquired by Playtika), Finanzcheck (acquired by Scout24), Privalia (acquired by Veepee), PhotoBox (acquired by Exponent Private Equity and Electra Partners), He has also been involved with VistaPrint (NASDAQ IPO), AMCS Group (acquired by EQT), and Nexthink (acquired by Vista Equity Partners).Earlier in his career, Fergal was a founding partner of RSA Ventures, the corporate venture arm of RSA Security.Before that, he was a founder and Senior Vice President of Cambridge Technology Partners (NASDAQ: CATP), where he served on the firm's Global Executive Committee.Fergal attended Harvard Business School where he earned his MBA and Brown University where he earned a BSc in Electrical Engineering and a BA in Business Economics.Highland Europe is a growth-stage technology investment firm with offices in London and Geneva. Founded in 2012, the firm backs European software and consumer internet companies that have established product-market fit — typically €10 million or more in revenue, growing 50%+ — with cheques of €30–70 million.

Preparation—not perfect timing—is what turns homeownership into long-term wealth.Many aspiring homeowners spend months—or even years—waiting for lower interest rates, a stronger credit score, or what they believe is the "perfect" time to buy. But what if waiting is the very thing keeping you from building wealth?In this episode of Exit Strategies Radio Show, Corwyn J. Melette welcomes Rich Hoffmann, Senior Vice President and National Sales Director at AD Mortgage, to explore the mortgage mistakes and financial misconceptions that often delay homeownership.Building on previous conversations about overcoming financial setbacks, this episode shifts the focus to what comes next: preparing wisely, understanding today's lending environment, and making confident decisions that support long-term financial success.With more than 33 years of mortgage banking experience, Rich shares practical guidance on improving your financial readiness, avoiding common mistakes before applying for a mortgage, understanding what lenders really look for, and why trying to perfectly time the housing market may actually cost you more in the long run.Whether you're buying your first home, preparing for your next purchase, or simply looking to make smarter financial decisions, this conversation provides practical insights to help you move forward with confidence.Legacy Building Takeaway:"The most successful homeowners typically don't wait for the perfect rate, the perfect market conditions, or even in a lot of cases, the perfect home. Instead, they focus on becoming financially prepared and making a sound long-term decision." — Rich HoffmanKey Takeaways:04:56 — The biggest misconceptions preventing qualified buyers from purchasing a home.07:27 — Financial habits to develop before talking with a lender.09:35 — Employment changes that could affect mortgage approval.12:46 — Why waiting for lower interest rates isn't always the smartest strategy.13:28 — "You marry the house, you date the rate."17:14 — Why financial literacy matters before you buy.23:04 — The first step every future homeowner should take before shopping for a house.Connect with Rich:Email Address:⁠ partnersupport@admortgage.comEmail Address:⁠ rich.hoffmann@admortgage.comConnect with Corwyn:Contact Number: 843-619-3005Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/exitstrategiesradioshow/⁠FB Page:⁠ https://www.facebook.com/exitstrategiessc/⁠Youtube:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxoSuynJd5c4qQ_eDXLJaZA⁠Website:⁠ https://www.exitstrategiesradioshow.com⁠Website: https://www.exitlowcountry.com/Linkedin:⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmelette/⁠Shoutout to our Sponsor: Mellifund Capital, LLCNeed funding for your next real estate flip or build?

For John Fisher, the answer was not reinvention for its own sake. It was the chance to keep growing, serving, solving problems, and feeling fully engaged. Before becoming a Ranger, John spent more than 20 years at Sony Pictures Television, including as supervising producer of The Young and the Restless, where he won six Emmy Awards. His earlier career included work with HBO and key roles in launching MTV, VH-1, MTV Europe, and The Comedy Channel. His next chapter didn’t pop up overnight. It grew from volunteering. One opportunity led to another: EMT certification, a seasonal Ranger-Assistant role, ranger training, and eventually the Río Hondo Basic Police Academy. There, surrounded by much younger recruits, John became California's oldest graduate of a basic Police Academy, class president and was voted Most Inspirational. In this conversation, John explains how he handled the demands of the academy, why age brought advantages as well as limitations, and how three simple criteria (learning something new, helping people, and having fun) guided his choices. His story is dramatic, but his approach is accessible. Becoming a Ranger may not be your thing, but what small experiment might open your own unexpected next chapter? John Fisher joins us from California. _________________________ Bio John Fisher is a Ranger with the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, a local park agency with extensive property in the Santa Monica Mountains. He joined the MRCA as a volunteer in 2024. After attending the Rio Hondo Basic Police Academy in 2025, Fisher completed field training and became a generalist ranger in 2026. Prior to the MRCA, Fisher worked for Sony Pictures Television for over 20 years as a supervising producer for “The Young and the Restless,” where he won six Emmy Awards. Earlier, Fisher worked on the NBC Enterprises syndicated daytime program, “The John Walsh Show.” He spent 11 years with HBO as a production executive, where he supervised a wide range of programming, including “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher,” “The Chris Rock Show,” “Reverb,” and “Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist.” His experience encompasses key roles in launching MTV, VH-1, MTV Europe, and The Comedy Channel, as well as numerous producing and consulting credits for broadcast, pay cable, syndication, corporate, and home video projects. A longtime member of the Television Academy, Fisher has served on the Daytime Peer Group Executive Committee and the Daytime Awards Committee. He has been involved with community and educational endeavors and has volunteered with his homeowners’ association, Syracuse University's alumni advisory network, and Boston University's Los Angeles program. An avid cyclist, he has been a member of several advocacy groups and a volunteer trail maintainer. Additionally, he continues to volunteer with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue team based in Santa Clarita and as a civilian volunteer for the Los Angeles Police Department through his membership in the California Emergency Mobile Patrol (CEMP). Fisher also belongs to the Mountain Bike Unit in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and is a volunteer for the National Park Service and California State Parks. A native of Baltimore, Fisher holds a master’s degree from Syracuse University's Newhouse School and an undergraduate degree from Towson University. __________________________ Other Retirement Podcast Conversations You’ll Love The Third Act – Josh Sapan Mattering…in Retirement – Jennifer Breheny Wallace What If You Pivot Instead of Retiring? – Scott Siff ___________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

It might sound counterintuitive, but when it comes to the art of persuasion, using a logic-first approach is the last thing you want to do. This is because, in reality, every human being is wired to feel first, and reason later.  Josh Bandoch is Senior Vice President for Policy Research at the Foundation for Research Into Equal Opportunity and has spent years becoming a master of persuasion. His latest book, How to Get What You Want: Mastering the Art and Science of Persuasion, is the ultimate guide to understanding the techniques that will actually move people, and the science behind why.  In this episode, Greg and Josh discuss the critical role of emotional intelligence in effective persuasion, how to listen and engage with your audience, “the granny test,” and how Montesquieu's teachings on particularism can apply to persuasion.   *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Research rigor isn't enough on its own [05:44] We want to marry the IQ that the research rigor, the intellectualism gives us, you have to marry that with emotional intelligence. Because you could have the most rigorously researched paper in the history of mankind and if you deliver that in a way that is not emotionally intelligent, might or might be emotionally unintelligent, then it's going to be counterproductive. So, you need to marry those two together and think about how you deliver this information in a way that your audience receives it warmly and they're willing to actually do something that you want them to do with it. That's where the sweet spot is. Every human being is wired to feel first, and reason later.  [05:12] All a billion of us are wired to feel first then reason. Sometimes it's feel then reason. Sometimes it's a feeling we never get to reasoning. And moreover, people who tragically suffer brain damage and lose the ability to emote, they actually see their reasoning impaired, which means that the logic-first approach to persuasion is actually illogical. Why we can't stop talking about ourselves [12:02] There are five aspects of our cognitive wiring that are foundational to persuasion that are central to the book. One is that it's about them, not you, but we're wired to think and talk all about ourselves, which isn't persuasive. So, we're wired to think and talk about ourselves. Talking about ourselves generates the same sensations in our brain as sex and money. It feels really good. And it's just, it's a survival mechanism. So, like if we don't think a talk about ourselves, who's going to? Quite possibly nobody.  On what he thinks about AI being more persuasive than humans.  [51:52] I'm open to the prospect that the average AI can be more persuasive than the average human because maybe the average human doesn't bring the calm, or maybe there are some basic, sort of, persuasion tools that AI can use. I still don't think, and I don't think we'll ever be at the point where the most persuasive AI is going to be as good as the most persuasive humans. And even if we are, it's still the humans who are making the decisions.  Show Links: Recommended Resources: Thinking, Fast and Slow How to be more persuasive | Joshua Bandoch | TEDxIllinois Tech Milton Friedman Modes of persuasion The Spirit of Law  Immanuel Kant John Locke Guest Profile: Vice President Profile at The Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity Professional Website Professional Profile on LinkedIn Guest Work: How to Get What You Want: Mastering the Art and Science of Persuasion  The Politics of Place: Montesquieu, Particularism, and the Pursuit of Liberty Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
