Send us a textToday, I'm here with my good friend and fellow podcaster, Ken Fong. Every week, the two of us dig deep into the big conversations shaping our lives, our culture, and the soul of our nation. We come to you from different vantage points, different life experiences, but with a shared commitment to truth, curiosity, and connection.This week, we talk about something that's been quietly eroding the way we live together as Americans — the loss of a national audience. Remember when 34 million people tuned in to watch The Cosby Show? Today, Stephen Colbert barely pulls in 3 million viewers. We're living in silos now, fragmented into tribes, each consuming our own narrow stream of information. Entertainment. E pluribus unum — out of many, one — feels more like a historical slogan than a lived reality.We'll also tackle the ongoing culture wars: from attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion, to the rise of a “colorblind” narrative that erases cultural heritage, to the growing movement to merge church and state. Figures like Doug Wilson, Pete Hegseth, Russell Vought, and Charlie Kirk are openly advocating for a theocratic America — one where women are subordinate and “Christian nationalism” rules the land.And beyond politics, we're looking at the real impact of fear and division — from ICE raids in our neighborhoods to the suppression of voices that challenge the status quo.It's time to wake up.

Iman Mossavat speaks with Professor Daniel Cremers, Director of the Munich Center for Machine Learning, Professor at the Technical University of Munich, and one of Germany's most distinguished AI researchers. Cremers is a recipient of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize and the 2024 ECCV Koenderink Test of Time Award.They discuss the groundbreaking work his team carried out in protein structure prediction back in 2016, years before AlphaFold made headlines. Although this work was presented at NeurIPS 2016, the flagship machine learning conference, in front of thousands of researchers, it was largely overlooked in subsequent citations.Beyond the science, Cremers reflects on the tension between academia and Big Tech, the challenges of recognition in a fast-moving field, and what it means to pursue meaningful work in AI today.
Craig Limoli, Co-Founder and CEO of Wellsheet, is streamling workflows for clinicians by providing better access to patient data and improving care coordination across care teams. Wellsheet is integrated into existing health records to provide a seamless experience to users and help to reduce "pajama time" for doctors by reducing the amount of end-of-the-day work needed to document patient encounters. Wellsheet uses AI and natural language processing to surface the most relevant information for clinicians and generate documentation, reducing time spent and improving efficiency. Craig explains, "Wellsheet is a care team, co-pilot that serves physicians as well as other clinicians with better access to all of the data they need to make treatment decisions for patients, as well as easier coordination across the whole care team. So we're really designed as a company and as a product to support a broad array of clinicians, both physicians, nursing case managers, and surface the data most relevant to them in the way that they want to see it. We coordinate care across those multidisciplinary stakeholders in a way that is seamlessly embedded and integrated into the existing electronic health record systems to ultimately create a really seamless and cohesive experience for our users." "So our technology is embedded within Epic, Cerner, and other major EHRs. So physicians and other clinicians access it with the click of a button directly within their workflow in the EHR. They don't have to log in again, they don't have to reidentify the patient. It all feels like a native part of their EHR experience. And as soon as they click into Wellsheet, they are presented with a summarized view of the most relevant information from the entire patient's medical history and what pertains to that particular encounter, all in a single place." #Wellsheet #ClinicalWorkflow #EHR #AI #ClinicalAI #MultidisciplinaryCare #PhysicianBurnout #DigitalHealth wellsheet.com Download the transcript here

Warum sich entscheiden, wenn man auch beides haben kann: Kreativität & Vertriebserfolg. In dieser Live-Episode reden wir nicht über neue Funnels oder Kaltakquise-Skripte – wir reißen Silos ein. Gemeinsam mit Götz Ulmer, Kreativkopf hinter bekannten Kampagnen wie SIXT, Ritter Sport oder EDEKA, zeigen wir, wie Mut, Haltung und Kommunikations-Know-how auch im B2B-Vertrieb den Unterschied machen.

Wesentliche beantwortete Fragen in dieser Episode: - Wie beeinflusst der organisatorische Kontext das Verhalten von Mitarbeitenden? - Warum sind vertikale Strukturen oft kundenfeindlich und wie baut man sie um? - Was macht Motivation wirklich aus, wenn Boni wegfallen? Top Themen: Regeln, Vertrauen & Selbstverantwortung Motivation & Sinn in der Arbeit Kontextbasierte Führung
What happens when pet sitters and independent veterinarians start working together more intentionally? Dr. Christie Cornelius, Director of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association, joins the show to discuss the unique challenges and strengths of independently owned veterinary practices. She explores how pet sitters can play a pivotal role in improving pet health outcomes through strong communication and observation. The conversation covers evolving veterinary trends, AI integration, and practical ways to establish partnerships between sitters and clinics. Dr. Cornelius shares how trust, storytelling, and showing up consistently can build lasting community relationships. Main Topics Independent veterinary clinic challenges Pet sitter-veterinarian collaboration AI in veterinary care Building trust and communication End-of-life and hospice pet care Main takeaway: “What they want is they want to be invited into your mission, and they want to participate in that, and then showing them how care is actually a collective act builds those lasting bonds.” As pet sitters, we often feel like we're doing it all on our own. But the truth is, the most powerful care happens when we collaborate. Pet parents are craving connection and clarity—they want to know that their sitter, their vet, and everyone involved in their pet's life are on the same page. When we open the door to cooperation, we don't just lighten our load—we build bonds that benefit the pet most. Invite others into your mission. That's where the magic happens. About our guest: Dr. Christie Cornelius is a veterinarian with over two decades of experience, currently serving as the Director of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association. After founding Texas's first water-based pet cremation and home hospice care business, she sold her practice to help launch BluePearl's national pet hospice program. Now, she focuses on consulting and empowering other independent vets through leadership, business strategy, and community collaboration. Based on Galveston Island, Dr. Cornelius also provides in-home veterinary services in her local area. Links: https://www.iveterinarians.org Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

GSD Presents: Top Global Startups with Rick Gilchrist Web4 and the End of Data Silos: How Sovereign Infrastructure Is Redefining Global Scale
Wie Gurken mit einem Gurkenflieger geerntet werden – das schaut sich Siham in Niederbayern an. Was aussieht wie ein Segelflugzeug hilft Gurkenbauer Ludwig und seinem Team dabei, Gurken per Hand zu ernten. Dabei fährt ein Traktor langsam über das Feld, damit die 24 Erntehelfer:innen links und rechts auf den beiden Plattformen ganz genau arbeiten können. Siham darf das natürlich selbst einmal ausprobieren… Nachdem jede Menge Gurken geerntet wurden, wird im zweiten Teil der Sachgeschichte gezeigt, wie diese zu Salzgurken verarbeitet werden. In riesigen Speicherbehältern, den sogenannten Silos, werden die Gurken in Salzsole eingelegt. Wenn dieser Prozess – die Fermentierung der Gurken – abgeschlossen ist, müssen sie als nächstes zum Entsalzen in einen Frischwassertank. Dann werden sie noch sortiert, geschnitten und in Portionen verpackt und schon sind sie fertig für ihren Einsatz – zum Beispiel auf einem leckeren Burger! Bei der Produktion von Salzgurken bleiben riesige Mengen Salzsole übrig. Wofür könnte man die noch gebrauchen? Eine Firma in Niederbayern hatte ein tolle Idee: Die Salzsole kann für den Einsatz beim Winterdienst verarbeitet werden – Gurkenwasser gegen Glätte. Siham begleitet das Gurkenwasser vom Silo bis hin zur Straßenmeisterei. Und zeigt in einem Experiment, wie das salzige Gurkenwasser im Winter auf der Straße wirkt…
Send us a textThis month, What They Said host, Sammy Albon, is joined by a true force in global brand marketing: Fiona Bosman, Global Brand Director at Bupa.With over two decades shaping iconic brands like Red Bull and Barclaycard, Fiona brings unmatched insight into the evolving world of Influencer Marketing.A fierce advocate for breaking silos and putting 'people and their stories' at the heart of marketing, Fiona believes “there are no departments" when it comes to building truly successful strategies.In this episode, expect bold thinking and big takeaways, including:
What if we've been led down the wrong path…When it comes to service design, we're often told the main goal is to break down silos. And that makes sense, right?Our organizations are structured vertically, but the experiences we design flow horizontally. This clash creates friction, so the natural instinct is to declare war on silos.But what if that's sending us in the wrong direction?Silos exist for a reason; they bring focus and efficiency to specific tasks. The real problem is often the broken connection between them. So, what if instead of trying to eliminate silos, we focused on repairing them?In this episode, I talk with Ellen Pittman, a researcher who shares a fascinating case study from a high-stakes organization struggling to meet a critical, time-sensitive performance target. On the surface, the pressure was on a single department to solve it.But as they dug deeper, they discovered the true bottleneck wasn't in that department at all, or even on the organizational chart. The real roadblocks were less visible and far more human.So what does it take to overcome these hidden barriers?Ellen found a specific mix of ingredients that allowed them to collaborate across team boundaries and address the issue with great success. In our conversation, we explore what those ingredients are and why it seems so hard for most organizations to get them right.This episode has the potential to reframe your thoughts on silos, leadership, and the roadblocks you think are in your way.A theme that I really loved exploring was how easily organizational metrics can be "gamed". We've all seen it, you hit the target but miss the actual goal... we talk about antidote in the episode.Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact.Be well, ~ Marc--- [ 1.

Joelle Tegwen: Breaking Knowledge Silos Through Strategic Skill Sharing Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Working as a Scrum Master on a team rewriting an old application, Joelle faced a significant challenge: experienced developers were located in India while new, experienced developers brought in locally lacked familiarity with the medical domain. Drawing inspiration from The Phoenix Project, she implemented a skills matrix to address the knowledge silos that were preventing new team members from contributing effectively. Using a teacher-student model, initially frustrated leaders who had to work with "students" discovered within 2-3 sprints that they were also learning new things and no longer carried the pressure of being the only ones with critical knowledge. The new team members brought fresh ideas that improved the codebase, and when the team eventually grew too large, the skills matrix facilitated smooth self-selection for team reorganization. What started as a solution to get new hires productive evolved into a comprehensive approach to knowledge sharing and team scalability. Self-reflection Question: Where do knowledge silos exist in your current team or organization, and how could you implement structured knowledge sharing to transform those constraints into learning opportunities?

Discover how aligning FP&A and Controllership could be the key to unlocking your finance team's full potential. Discussed in This Episode: What CFOs get wrong about Controllership, and how to fix it The hidden friction between finance subfunctions How to create “earned” seats at the table across the organization Why both FP&A and Controllership must focus on top-line growth Tools, leadership habits, and structural approaches that make cross-functional alignment stick How AI is helping finance teams build leverage and efficiency For CFO insights, episode show notes and exclusive blog content, visit thecfoshowpodcast.com.
The extended leadership team (those just below the C-suite) often finds itself stuck between translating strategy and triaging dysfunction. They're tasked with cross-functional execution, but are rarely equipped, empowered, or aligned to pull it off. And in most organizations, this group is caught in a cycle of managing up, managing down, and managing chaos all around—with very little time or clarity left to lead. This week, Rodney and Sam take a closer look at what's really going on with extended leadership teams, why they matter so much, and what gets in their way. From power dynamics and peer competition to vertical incentives and missing cross-functional glue, they pull apart the system that makes this group so hard to organize—and so critical to transformation. They also share field-tested tactics that can turn this underutilized layer into an OS-upgrading powerhouse. -------------------------------- Let's work together: https://www.theready.com/working-together Get our newsletter: Sign up here.

Imagine organizations where relationships aren't just an afterthought but the foundation of everything. Where performance, innovation, and well-being flow naturally from meaningful human connections. That's the transformative vision Bryan shares in this profound conversation.Drawing from 30 years of talent management experience across five continents, Bryan reveals why focusing on relationships is the key to thriving workplaces.He makes a compelling case backed by science: "If anything you can die from, you die earlier if you're lonely." This biological imperative for connection extends directly to our work lives, where relationship quality determines everything from stress levels to problem-solving capacity.Bryan introduces his framework of four crucial organizational relationships: employee-employee, leader-employee, leader-leader, and company-employee.Each requires specific attention and nurturing to create environments where self-serving behaviors diminish and collaborative success flourishes. He explains why culture isn't something we directly fix but rather an outcome of our actions and relationships – similar to how winning emerges from proper execution, not from talking about winning.The conversation explores practical ways leaders can strengthen workplace relationships, from structured communication approaches that confirm understanding beyond simple head nods, to implementing the "relationships matter most" mindset inspired by John Gottman's research. Bryan offers immediately actionable advice: maintain a 5:1 ratio of positive to negative interactions, and always focus on commonality before differences.Perhaps most powerfully, Bryan emphasizes service as the cornerstone of thriving organizations. When we approach work with a mindset of serving our teams, our functions, and our organizations before ourselves, we create cultures where people find meaning, purpose, and fulfillment – and where business results naturally follow.Ready to transform your workplace culture through the power of relationships? isit Brian's website at bshtalentsolutions.com to learn more about his approach or purchase his book "Relationship Driven Cultures: Foster Unity, Enrich Self-Worth, and Build Resilience."___________________Bryan Miller BIO:Bryan brings nearly 30 years of talent management experience, serving as both head of talent management and a trusted consultant to small businesses, nonprofits, and Fortune 200 companies across five continents.

The $13 trillion construction industry is experiencing its first systemic transformation in decades.In this groundbreaking episode, we examine how advanced technologies are dismantling the silos that have trapped the $13 trillion construction industry in decades of declining productivity. Francesco "Frio" Iorio, CEO of Augmenta and pioneer of generative design, reveals how construction is transforming from a fragmented collection of isolated specialists into an integrated ecosystem of collaborative intelligence.From creating the world's first AI-designed public school in rural Michigan to developing "surrogate master builder" systems that seamlessly coordinate complex building trades, Iorio demonstrates how ecosystemic thinking is finally breaking through the barriers that prevented construction from achieving the efficiency gains seen in manufacturing. This conversation illuminates how AI serves as the connective tissue, transforming siloed expertise into a unified system intelligence that can adapt to supply chain disruptions while enabling both rapid response and long-term strategic planning. HighlightsThe Productivity Paradox Solved: Construction is the only primary industry with declining productivity over the past 50 years; however, AI systems now achieve twice the speed of human designers while reducing waste and improving precision, finally breaking through the efficiency barrier that has challenged the $13 trillion industry.From Fragmented Silos to Integrated Intelligence: Modern construction has fragmented the holistic knowledge of medieval master builders, who were once united across isolated specialists, creating coordination nightmares. AI now serves as a "surrogate master builder companion," reuniting written codes, unwritten tribal knowledge, and real-time constraints into unified ecosystem intelligence that guides seamless collaboration.Beyond the Snowflake Problem: Unlike manufacturing's repeatable processes, every building is unique—the fundamental challenge preventing construction optimization. AI embraces this complexity head-on, enabling mass customization while maintaining the efficiency benefits of systematic design approaches.Global-Scale Impact Through Democratization: The first AI-designed building was a public school in rural Michigan, not a luxury project, signaling how these tools can democratize advanced sustainable design for the 4+ billion people entering urban areas globally, potentially preventing catastrophic "rush urbanization" scenarios.Supply Chain Resilience Revolution: AI-compressed design timelines enable early strategic planning and last-minute adaptation to economic shocks, transforming construction from a rigid sequence into a responsive ecosystem capable of thriving amid uncertainty and tariff-driven supply disruptions.#EcosystemicFutures #ConstructionAI #GenerativeDesign #SustainableBuilding #UrbanFutures #AITransformation #SupplyChainResilience #ProductivityRevolution #SystemicInnovationGuest: Francesco "Frio" Iorio, Co-Founder and CEO of AugmentaHost: Marco Annunziata, Co-Founder, Annunziata Desai PartnersSeries Hosts:Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.
How can continuing education break down professional silos and foster real collaboration among healthcare teams? If you create CME/CE content, you've likely encountered the challenge of writing for “teams” that still operate in silos. This episode with interprofessional education expert Dr. Tina Patel Gunaldo, Founder, Collaborate for Health, reveals why just using the term “team-based care” isn't enough—and how content creators can more accurately reflect the evolving nature of healthcare collaboration. As patient-centered models expand and asynchronous care becomes the norm, CME professionals need a deeper understanding of roles, language, and practice contexts to design impactful education. Discover the critical differences between interprofessional, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary practice—and why it matters for CME writing. Learn how to structure education that empowers team collaboration and respects the unique contributions of each discipline. Understand the growing role of patients, technology, and asynchronous communication in shaping interprofessional collaboration today. And if you're unsure when to use “interprofessional” vs “multidisciplinary”? We've got you covered. We created a one-page Quick Reference Guide to help you use team-based language precisely and avoid common traps in CME writing. It's perfect for writers, educators, and reviewers who want to level up their clarity. Grab the download in the show notes and keep it handy as you create your next piece of content. Tune in now to learn how you can write CME content that reflects real-world collaboration—and elevates both learner experience and patient care outcomes.
