Allies Saudi Arabia and Yemen have turned rivals in Yemen. From 2 December, 2025 when UAE-backed STC forces started taking over key provinces to now- Saudi-led coalition regaining control, Yemen has witnessed key developments. In Episode 1781 of #CutTheClutter, ThePrint Editor-In-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains why Yemen has become a battleground for Saudi Arabia & UAE, the areas controlled by different forces in Yemen including Houthis, and how this rivalry is linked to the race for influence in Africa.

Saudi state TV reports that Yemen's Southern Transitional Council has disbanded, though an STC spokesperson called the announcement "ridiculous."

//The Wire//2300Z December 30, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: SAUDI ARABIA BOMBS EMIRATI WEAPONS SHIPMENT IN YEMEN. RAIL DELAYS SPREAD AROUND EUROPE AFTER INCIDENT IN CHANNEL TUNNEL. CROWBAR ATTACK REPORTED AT BRITISH HOSPITAL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Yemen: Overnight tensions escalated sharply between several nations as the conflict in Yemen threatens to become more serious. Colonel Turki Al-Malki, the Saudi Air Force Colonel that serves as the spokesman for the Saudi mission to Yemen stated that two vessels departed the UAE without permission this morning, and sailed without turning their AIS transponders on before arriving in Yemen. Onboard these vessels were weapons and armored vehicles that the UAE was allegedly trying to smuggle to the Southern Transitional Council (STC), a faction that threatens the Saudi border.As a result, Saudi Arabia conducted a few airstrikes within the Yemeni port of Mukalla, targeting the combat vehicles to be used by the STC. After the strikes, Saudi Arabia also called for the UAE to leave Yemen entirely. A few hours after this morning's scuffle, the UAE announced a cessation of their already-reduced mission in Yemen, and are withdrawing all public support for the STC, per Saudi demands.United Kingdom: This morning an Afghan migrant was arrested for conducting an attack at the Newton-Le-Willows Hospital in Merseyside, a small village halfway between Liverpool and Manchester. The attack began after the man was denied an appointment after entering the lobby with a crowbar in hand. After being told there were no appointments, the man began attacking staff with the crowbar. 5x people were wounded during the attack.Europe: This morning a "major disruption" was reported in the Channel Tunnel, halting train services between London and Paris. The cause of the disruption was two-fold, resulting from several power lines being downed in one tunnel, and a train stuck in the other tunnel, blocking service both ways under the English Channel.Analyst Comment: This sounds like it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but due to the importance of this one tunnel (and the nature of rail logistics), passenger train services were halted from Amsterdam to Paris, all during one of the most heavily-trafficked travels season of the year. Delays have been reported all day, and EuroStar has recommended travelers to avoid trains which use cross-Channel routes until repairs are made.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The situation in Yemen has always been a tangled web of factions, and thing's aren't as simple as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". This latest development is no different, and throughout the day the statements from all parties reflect more of the plot of a soap opera than traditional diplomacy.The STC is a separatist movement in Yemen that is opposing the Houthi's, but also opposing the Saudis. The Saudis know that if the STC were to win the Civil War in Yemen and actually dominate the Houthis, the STC would probably sidestep the formal Yemeni government and succeed in their goal of creating a new state (what they call South Arabia), which the STC has been working toward for some time. The UAE provides materiel support to the STC for several reasons. For one, the UAE and the Saudis have bad-blood between them on cultural grounds, but both the Emirates and the Saudi royal family also don't want the Houthi's to control most of Yemen, thus the reason for both nations teaming up to form the security coalition in Yemen.However, the Saudis also don't want the Houthi's adversaries (the STC) to get too much control either...which the UAE *does* want so as to apply pressure to the Saudis because the UAE and Yemen don't share a land border, so they don't care.In short, the Saudis and Emirates don't actually like each other, but work together to control the dozens of

Political power in Yemen is shifting once again, reigniting questions about who truly holds authority in the country and whether it is heading towards another fundamental rupture. The Southern Transitional Council (STC), which holds three seats in the eight-member Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), has long pushed for southern independence. In recent days, its forces have fought battles in Al Mahra and Hadramawt and now claim control over the entire south. STC leaders are also openly suggesting that Sanaa, the Houthi-controlled capital, could be the next target. But the PLC has warned that the STC's actions undermine security and stability at a time when the country remains deeply fractured. In this week's episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher is joined by The National's Foreign Editor Mohamad Ali Harisi to examine the current power struggle in Yemen, what's driven these developments and where the country may be heading next.

Introduction After a stroke, recovery doesn't end when rehab does. For many survivors, that's when confusion begins. Fatigue, brain fog, limited appointment time, and conflicting advice make it incredibly hard to know what actually helps. And while research is advancing rapidly, most survivors are left trying to piece together answers from podcasts, Facebook groups, and late-night Google searches. That's why this conversation with Jessica Dove London, founder of turnto.ai, matters. The Hidden Problem in Stroke Recovery: Information Overload Stroke survivors aren't lacking motivation. They're drowning in disconnected information — and often too exhausted to process it. Bill shares how, after stroke and brain surgery, even short bursts of research felt impossible. Jessica explains how parents and patients are expected to become full-time researchers — on top of surviving life-changing diagnoses. Why “Just Ask Your Doctor” Isn't Enough Doctors care deeply. But no clinician can keep up with thousands of new stroke-related publications every week. This gap leaves survivors feeling dismissed — not because professionals don't care, but because systems aren't built for rapid knowledge sharing. “You shouldn't have to rely on luck or Facebook groups to find something that could change your recovery.” How Tunrto.ai Changes the Stroke Recovery Equation turnto.ai doesn't replace doctors. It reduces the cognitive load on survivors. Jessica explains how the platform: Reads thousands of new stroke resources weekly Filters by your stage of recovery and priorities Surfaces research, patient experience, and expert insight together Updates automatically as your needs change For survivors managing fatigue, this alone is transformative. Real Examples: From Spasticity to Stem Cells Bill demonstrates how Tunrto.ai can instantly surface: Evidence and cautions around emerging treatments Patient experiences that add real-world context Research trends and unanswered questions Instead of hours of searching, survivors gain clarity — and better conversations with their care teams. Why This Restores Hope After Stroke Hope doesn't come from miracle cures. It comes from visibility — knowing what exists, what's emerging, and what's worth asking about. Tunrto.ai doesn't promise answers. It promises orientation — and that changes everything. Conclusion & CTA If you're a stroke survivor who feels lost, overwhelmed, or unsure where to look next, tools like turnto.ai represent a new way forward.

One of the reasons I’m so passionate about doing this podcast is because of my purpose behind it. And that purpose is simple, to connect people with information, to connect people with tools, and to connect people with other people. who truly understand what this journey is like. After a stroke, finding reliable up-to-date information is exhausting. You’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, limited time, and often very little guidance beyond rehab. In today’s episode, you’re going to hear from Jessica Dove London, my new hero, the founder of Turnto.ai, a tool designed to help people like us find relevant stroke recovery information much faster with less effort and far less energy delivered straight into your email inbox. This is not a sponsored episode, but it is an episode about a solution I genuinely believe can change how stroke survivors find answers. Let’s get into it. Bill Gasiamis (01:13) Jessica Dove London, welcome to the podcast. Jessica Dove London (01:16) Great to be here Bill Bill Gasiamis (01:17) Sometimes when people send me emails, they go into the inbox and then they’re kind of like, I’ll look at that when I get back to it, when I get back to it, I get back to it. And I saw the email that you sent to me when you reached out to tell me about this amazing new product. And I thought, well, another amazing new product. There’s plenty of them. And usually the products that people kind of email me about are not relevant to Stroke. And people are just trying to get onto podcasts and all that kind of stuff. And I get it. I’ve got no issue with that. If they’re relevant, I love sending new information to people. And one of the biggest challenges is determining what’s going to be the most helpful thing. How can I get things out that are not just another thing to talk about for the sake of talking about it? And then I didn’t respond to your email because it kind of goes down to the bottom of the list when all the other new ones come in and I’ll get to that. get to that. And then I saw a link in my I comment on my LinkedIn and I thought, okay, this is familiar. I’ve seen this before. Let me check it out. And then I checked it out and thought, what an idiot. Why haven’t I contacted this person back quicker? This product is amazing. But before we talk about turnto.ai, give me a little bit of a background. I just want to get a sense of how it is that somebody comes up with the idea. I know what I’m going to do. I’m going to create a product that brings information to people. more rapidly than ever before so that they can decrease the amount of time it takes to learn new and amazing things that are coming up about their condition. Jessica Dove London (02:50) Yeah, well, Bill, I did really like your podcast. That’s why I linked in you as well. I actually really liked your podcast because, you know, from where I come from, my son has a rare type of cerebral palsy. We actually don’t have a podcast like this where it’s a patient-led, you know, quest for finding the most useful, cutting-edge, relevant type information. So I really liked your channel. But I guess where do, where do, you know, where do a lot of these things come from? from my lived experience. So when my son was 18 months old, he was diagnosed with a rare type of cerebral palsy, which is a little bit similar to Parkinson’s in his rare type. And when I went along, when he got diagnosed, I went along to his appointment, we knew he had something and I took a big research paper along systematic review and the doctor said, nothing you can do to help him. There’s no medication, surgery. She even told me, don’t bother reading those papers. And I just, went on this journey that maybe a lot of people listening relate to when you are given something or you’re recovering, we have this huge life change of wondering what can I do to improve my son’s quality of life? And this real question, like, can I do anything? He’s amazing as he is, but we want to unlock the whole world for him. So I just went on this journey for years, finding treatments for him. And we just kept finding treatments and some were incredibly life impacting. And almost all of them were in the medical literature. I just had to decipher them. I traveled the world, how did every world leader ended up studying neuroscience? We, we had a big YouTube channel where we shared our stories and I went to a huge conference with all these academics and this one world leader got up on the stage and she shared these incredible things coming for cerebral palsy, which actually is some relevance for stroke because there’s a lot of things that are free. They’re, sort of based on neuroplasticity. They’re very accessible. And I actually put my hand up and said, I shouldn’t have to fly around the world. to learn about cutting edge things that could help my son or help people right now. you know, I guess I just live this experience that think many people do where all the cutting edge information can be all over the place. It can live in these research papers. It can live in the patient community. It can live in those incredible healthcare providers, but you have to sign or in clinical trials, you know, you don’t know, you have to piece it all together and then work out what’s relevant for me. because you know, you could be sitting in a Facebook group, you could be listening to podcasts like this, but there’s so much time that is wasted and opportunity that is wasted while you’re trying to work out all these things. And for most people, you don’t have the world leading best healthcare providing team. Who knows everything doing that work for you. You have to do it on your own. So yeah, just live that problem of trying to find the cutting edge thing to help my son and you know, For two years, it took me two years, we did find a whole lot of things. Bill Gasiamis (05:40) Yeah, two years. my gosh. And I mean, you’d give more than two years to your son, but it’s not about that. It’s about, doing it more quickly than two years. And from stroke perspective, do you have a stroke? Your brain doesn’t work properly. And then trying to sit there and get through, data, texts, videos, all that kind of stuff. I only was able to find like very small amounts of time in between. ⁓ feeling terrible most of the time. And then, ⁓ my gosh, I’m feeling good right now. And then it’s a priority. Like what do I do now that I’m feeling good for five minutes or 10 minutes or an hour? And for me, I, I was very keen to kind of, understand what I can do to support myself. And I knew for certain there was stuff that doctors weren’t delivering when able to deliver, didn’t know about, weren’t telling me that if I did the research that, and I found that I could implement something that was easy for me to implement. for me, just perfect example would be nutrition. But in my conversations with doctors, when I asked them about, this something I can stop eating or start eating to help my brain? There was no information out. There’s probably nothing that wouldn’t matter. Just go about the treatment that we’re offering. And then as a mom or a parent, let’s say as a parent who has a child who has needs beyond the quote unquote normal. It’s like, I’ve got to do all these extra things as a parent for my child. And I’ve got to have my life. I’ve got to do work and do all the things that parents do other than just parenting. And then somehow in there, I’ve got to find a flight to a conference to the other side of the world to hear a researcher maybe, and it’s only like a maybe share something that’ll be life-changing and supportive. And that’s kind of… where I was at, was in the same place. And I thought, what I’ll do is I’ll create a conversation so that people can come to me. We can chat about it amongst other things, share stories. But then hopefully somebody on my YouTube channel says, do you know about this? And then that happened. And then that was a problem as well, because it’s like, I don’t know about this. I don’t even know where to begin to have a conversation about that with you. And if I needed to… do the research on something that I was asked about will take ages. Now, one of the questions I had recently was, you know about methylene blue? And it’s this ridiculously kind of current topic about improving mitochondrial function for people. And as a result of that, people are finding out how you can take that and they’re taking it, which I wouldn’t recommend. And, and now I don’t… The Birth of Turnto.ai And now I’ve got to go and do, I don’t know how many searches to find all the data on Methylene Blue and I don’t know where they’re hiding. Read them, spend my entire time to read them, know, spend all my time to read them and then somehow kind of give people feedback on what I’ve read because that’s the role that I’ve decided to play. And now that’s what they’re expecting of me, but it takes ages. It’s forever. So then a little while later, what happened was you, you said, you know, have a look at turnto.ai. check it out, tell me what you think. And then I did. And I was able to see the power of being able to have the research just sent to me in my inbox because I asked the AI to do it and it does it on a regular basis. And in a moment we’ll share about it. But then tell me a little bit about that transition for you from I’m traveling all over the world to nah, stuff that. I’m gonna do that from. my office in Brisbane, in Australia. I’m not going to travel the whole world to find out this information. It’s not efficient enough. How do you move from mum with a problem to mum with a massive solution? Jessica Dove London (09:31) I mean, I guess, you know, those first five years I was just full-time mom and just doing, you know, we did all the things we did into all the therapy centers. And I, you know, I guess it’s really interesting that question you had. you have these really tricky questions or people ask you questions or you’re on a Facebook group and you see people talking about something you’ve never heard about. Yeah. I was just trying to pull those pieces together because I had the capacity to do that reading. Often it was late at night. think one of the biggest challenges is often at the beginning of your journey, you don’t have the context. You don’t know the map that you’re even looking at. All you know is the impact it’s having immediately and the potential future impact and all those really hard things that you’re facing. so probably for those first five years, I was just pulling everything together messily and someone’s trying things, low risk things, all these different things, trying to get the best people to give us that advice. However, you know, after those five years, I went to that REITs big conference and actually initially got an AI grant to do a research project, an AI research project. And I had a really good friend get lung cancer, stage four lung cancer and a good friend get MS. And they just had the same problem that I was having. And so I just knew there was something here. And so initially what we did is we actually just brought all the treatments that exist for cerebral palsy in one place. And there were over 220 treatments and most patient knew about five to 10. And these are, science backed different protocol treatments people are doing and having some impact on. They having some evidence of things that are working. And so the problem is just really wild because you again, you’re told, I’ll just try these few things, but there’s actually legitimate scientific leading people with all these other ideas and some of it’s really working. So I just, I initially I did that. And then when my kids started school, ⁓ I decided to start a tech platform because I saw this as a really huge problem, but I knew I needed a world-class engineering team because I knew AI had to be part of this. And this was before all the LLM, all the open AI. don’t know if people’s familiar with AI, familiarity with AI is. Before all of this amazing sort of last few years, I was using sort of different, more sort of machine learning to try and just bring the data in and categorize it. but really just trying to make it accessible for people. Bill Gasiamis (11:51) Before we continue, want to pause for just a moment. If you’ve been listening to this conversation and thinking, I don’t have the energy to search research papers, Facebook groups, podcasts, and forums just to find one useful thing, you’re not alone. exact problem is why this episode matters. What Jessica has built with turnto.ai is a way to reduce the mental and physical effort it takes to stay informed. after a stroke. Instead of searching endlessly, relevant information is found for you based on where you are in your recovery and sent straight to your inbox.

All right, let’s get back to the conversation. Jessica Dove London (12:55) yeah, I guess it was definitely a journey I didn’t go from, know, the first few years it was just heads down, fully in care mode, trying to deliver all the care, trying to access all the experts. And then slowly I just went on this journey to eventually being full time running this team of amazing people from the tech space. I knew this should be a tech solution because You know, I think one of the unfortunate things is, is amazing groups out there, amazing orgs out there, but they often are technology specialists. So I don’t build things that can continue to be relevant. They often make really high quality resources and then the resources are actually not relevant even for you doing a search. You know, you do a search and then what happens in a month when there’s something new that’s come out about that. So yeah, we’re on that journey and probably the cornerstone of what we’ve built is this belief we have that all the voices matter. And so research matters, patient experience matter, leading professionals, experts matter. And actually they sometimes can hold different pieces of the puzzle. probably unlike other tools that you’ll see out there and when we show what we’ve built and how we build it, that’s the key thing. The other thing we believe is that new information matters and it’s too much work for one person, let alone a doctor, a specialist can’t even stay up to date on the disease because know, stroke is actually got an unbelievable amount of things that are created every week. can be over 2000 new things every week in stroke that are being published from expert interviews to new research to clinical trials to patient discussions to incredible events. It’s just wild. Like there’s actually so much incredible stuff happening. But you can’t find it all and you can’t read it all. Bill Gasiamis (14:39) Yeah, absolutely. And that’s why when I had a little bit of a play with Tony, with Turn 2… It was cool because I’m not interested in everything that stroke has to offer me. The research has taught me, but I’m interested in certain things and I’m interested on things specifically that my followers and listeners on my podcast want to know about, you know, so I’d love to be able to bring that to them. So then I had a bit of a play and then we’re going to move to that. I’m going to share the screen in a minute and we’ll talk about that actual screen and the solution, but there is an onboarding process, which we’re not going to. show today but can we talk about it a little bit just to give people a sense of how people they’ll come across turn to and then they’ll go okay ⁓ i want to start and then i want to make sure i get information information for just the stuff that i’m interested in how does the onboarding work Jessica Dove London (15:21) Yeah. Yeah, I guess this is again, thing of like, you know, we’ve built a tool that you’re about to see where we want to keep you up to date, read every single new thing and just give you a handful of things. So how do we do that? And so the way we designed this is to find out what’s on top right now. If you’ve just had a stroke, you’re in a very different stage to one year post, two year post, five year post. the reality is of a patient journey is Bill Gasiamis (15:40) Hmm. Jessica Dove London (16:02) you are always changing, know, you know, we have things, new things come up and then you suddenly feel like you’re at the beginning again or new symptoms come up and you get very confused. Like, is this related? I’m like, I have to talk to my doctor. What’s happening here? I’ve just started a new medication. There’s always things happening. So we ask just five questions and the questions are just all about right now. and sort of some key different attributes around your recovery journey or your journey because Sometimes some information is less relevant for certain groups than others. I’m in a cerebral palsy space, your subtype really matters because it’s actually completely different neurology. And so you might find this incredible breakthrough and it just not be relevant for the subtype, which is actually the case for my son. My son has a very rare subtype, which makes like, you know, anything published on his subtype is like gold because you’re like, wow, a new sort of thing has come out. Yeah. So what we’ve done is, made the onboarding about what are you facing this week with your stroke recovery? You know, what is the symptom you’re worried about? And the thing about the tool is, you know, that week it’ll, it’ll go and read the thousands of new things and it will then match you according to what’s on top for you. And it’ll also go and do specific searches on your location. So if you’re living in Sydney, you’re living in anyway, Los Angeles, London, it’ll search for that week for stroke. what is happening in that city. And the reason that’s so helpful sometimes is there are groups, there’s new clinical trials, there’s so many things that are all these incredible people are putting on webinars, like online support, online educational things. So we match you to all of those things every single week. But yeah, really it’s what are you doing with dealing with right now? And then if you get to Sunday, cause that’s when we send our update out and you’ve got something new that’s come up, you just can talk or type and say, hey, I’m not interested, I’m now interested in keto and I’m interested in this and it will just make you, it’ll create new priorities. Cause that’s the real journey of living with a competition. Bill Gasiamis (18:05) I love that it does change at the beginning. It was all about fatigue. How do I improve my fatigue? And then later on it was like, how do I improve my sleep? And then later on it was after, you know, after brain surgery, it’s a completely different, uh, um, inquiries that I was making on YouTube, Google, wherever I was like, you know, how do I overcome a brain surgery, all that kind of stuff. Um, and then also at the beginning, some of those problems I solved like, then Jessica Dove London (18:25) Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Bill Gasiamis (18:35) I thought, okay, what’s the next one I need to solve? Jessica Dove London (18:38) Yeah, that’s right. The funny thing about health information is though, cause one of the things we’ve built, if let’s say you’ve tried something though, and there has been new research that’s come out about post impact, you may get that in your update because, know, let’s say you did a surgery or you did sort of some sort of intervention there. Sometimes studies coming out about five years post that intervention. And actually that’s really useful for you because what if it, this new potential thing you should be testing for? I think the key to what we, Navigating Information Overload Have learned from building these tools is you don’t actually know what you don’t know. And like, I think most people here have had that experience of sitting in a Facebook group, listening to your podcast. You learn something new and you go, ⁓ I wish I knew this. ⁓ it feels like luck. And I think that is just a really challenging thing because your health is so much more important than luck, but it can feel like that. You know, I can literally remember when I’ve been in a Facebook group and someone first mentioned this surgery that we ended up doing. took us a year to make the decision, but it was like, ⁓ my goodness, what is this they’re talking about? And then I went to my, our surgeon and the surgeon was very, very dismissive even though there was huge body of literature behind this particular intervention. So then I had to find another specialist and so it begins. Bill Gasiamis (19:53) Yeah. That’s a great thing too, as well. Like if you could be facing roadblocks that are based on other people and that, and then if you don’t have like some kind of ammunition to take to them to say, but you know, how about this? That’s one of the challenges. Cause then, you know, they kind of say, well, there’s no data. I haven’t seen it. If I haven’t seen, I’m a doctor. Like, you know, what do you know? How are you going to be the perfect person that makes the decision? gatekeepers of information bother the hell out of me. Like I hate people who have information and think that because they have it, that they sort of hold the key to how that information is disseminated. But then also people who discourage people from doing searches on what may help them, you know, this is my life, it’s my condition. I wanna be able to find things to help me to make my life better. So I don’t have to be in the hospital system so I can go back to life. so I can improve things. So luck is not part of the equation. If I didn’t jump into that Facebook group today and didn’t see that post, I would have missed it for years maybe. Jessica Dove London (20:56) And this stuff just is always happening. It is pretty wild. And again, the reality is that there is just information is everywhere. And I think even for people who favor research, research takes years to come out. And who decides what should be researched? When we did our first research project, when I started this work, one of the things we did is we collected patient stories of treatment reviews. popular treatment at the time, had no research behind it in the cerebral palsy space, but very low risk. It was like an intensive physio type protocol. And I actually shared this with a whole bunch of academics and a world leader came up to me and said, she’s now going to study this treatment. Because again, you know, are not academics sitting in Facebook groups. or they’re not always, know, they’re not, you know, it takes years for these things to even begin to be getting researched. However, at the same time, are, like research has been, can be very, very helpful and it can also, you know, there are definitely a variety of things out there. Some things are snake oil, some things are, some things can look like snake oil and actually be the next best thing because there’s actually a sign, you know, reason why it’s working or we don’t know why it’s working. It is very hard to decide for all of this. Yeah. Bill Gasiamis (22:17) used to be hard. Now it’s a lot easier. Thank you very much. So I’m going to share my screen now so we can have a bit of a look at what we’re talking about. Jessica Dove London (22:19) Yeah. Bill Gasiamis (22:26) so this is the screen. Now, I’ve purposely resisted from clicking on the first two weekly updates at the top because I wanna kind of tell people what happened, why they’re there. But then I wanna go all the way down to the very first catch up that ⁓ I had with the software after I was onboarded, after I answered all the questions and did all that stuff. It came to me, it said, these are some things that we found for you. And, ⁓ it said it found 18 things. It gave me this, ⁓ bar chart thingy, me jiggy here, which is not a bar chart. It’s actually an audio file telling me what it found. ⁓ and it gave me top insights, six things, and it told me one thing that was near me now, just for context. said, I’m in Australia, in Melbourne, but I said I was in New York, New York. Okay. Just so that I can kind of get a sense of what happens when people from ⁓ other places in the world do a search. I kind of have an idea that if I had done the same thing, what type of results I would have got here. But the reason I did that is because I believe it or not, stroke survivors have reached out to me from New York and said, do I know any stroke survivors in New York? I’m in Australia, in Melbourne. Like technically that answer should be no. but I know heaps of people in other areas. But what I don’t know is what’s happening in those other areas. And what Tony found was ⁓ groups, meetups or something along those lines that were happening in New York for people. So I found that really interesting. So I could immediately do that search and get that I click near you, all right, I’m not in New York guys, but if I click near you, look what it found. Hybrid event stroke support groups at Mount Sinai, Sinai, I know I butchered that, but it’s. probably an event that is happening ⁓ in that area. Union Square, I think I know what that is. I think that is in Manhattan. And then it gives its thoughts. It says, this group could help you connect with survivors for emotional regulation and post-traumatic growth. Like, what? That was like a few minutes of searching immediately now. If I had even moved. to New York, it was a brand new place where I’m living and I want to connect with people, I’ve automatically found that. mean, that is fantastic. Jessica Dove London (24:58) So Bill, when you get your update, you go to the, I found you, you can actually flick through all of the updates. And for people as well, can, if you go to click on what I found you, or if you just go back into it and then you can actually flick through them all. So you can flick through the research, the expert interviews, the patient discussions, the online events. And also for people who like email, you can get it all in an email. That’s sort of an easier experience for you, but you can just really quickly flick. Bill Gasiamis (25:06) what I found. Yeah. Jessica Dove London (25:28) through all the relevant things that have found you. And it’s just matching to what you’ve said. So you would have said all those different sort of key things that are important to you. And then the whole thing we believe is we try not to use AI to give you necessarily a generic answer. We’re trying to use AI to find you the most interesting resources that already exist. Bill Gasiamis (25:30) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I love it. this one, this week’s daily update. So I’ve had a few of those updates and I’ve clicked a lot of them. And they, as I was going through my mind a few weeks after I logged in for the first time, I would then put in a new search. And then the most recent email that I got or update that I got was this one here. And It has found 17 new things for me and the top insights have been updated because one of the additional searches that I put in later after I did the onboarding was about hand spasticity. And then also I did, and look at this, I did a podcast with, a stroke survivor called Jonathan and it has already found it and brought that to my attention as if I didn’t know about it. And Jonathan Aravello shares his story. That’s an interview that I did with a stroke survivor a little while ago and it already knows that it’s there. And then if you scroll down, I found if you scroll down, you just go through other things that people are talking about. Vivastim is a new product that stroke survivors are talking about because it’s an implantable and it attaches to autonomic, to the vagus nerve and somehow it supports people to improve function and it helps with neuroplasticity and all that kind of stuff. I’m just stunned by all the information that came to me and… The Onboarding Process Explained And I had a question this week in my YouTube channel. Let me tell you what it is. And let’s see if we can just do a search and find some information on that product. STC30 stem cell treatment. I’ve got no idea where to start. How would I answer that question for the person? They asked me a lovely question. What can you say about the effectiveness of STC30 stem cell treatment? So I’m getting asked like I’m an expert in these areas. I don’t mind, but that’s the kind of information that people are looking for. They’re going, how do I find information about that thing when nobody else out there will talk to me about it? They’re kind of like doing a Hail Mary shot. They’re going, I’m going to ask this guy on the podcast, maybe he knows about stem cells. Who would know about that? But check this out. If I do ask a question, if I say,tell me. about ST. C 30. stem cells. I’m going to generate. And I love this part about it too, the searching and the thinking that it does. ⁓ What specific outcomes or improvements are you hoping to achieve? And I’ll just say. ⁓ Less brain fatigue. That’s brain fatigue. Jessica Dove London (28:52) It’s okay. It’s actually you can make spelling mistakes. Bill Gasiamis (28:56) It knows it’s smarter than me. Jessica Dove London (28:58) mean, AI is very good at that. And probably for people watching this, you what would be the difference of this with ChatGPT? Because ChatGPT is amazing and it’s going to get better and better. But the difference of people to understand is we actually have an intelligent data set on stroke. So what we’ve done is we’ve taken the past 10 years of all the stroke information. So from research papers, we’ve actually gone through YouTube and found webinars with experts. We’ve gone through patient discussions, we’ve collected resources. And the reason we’ve done this is because Bill Gasiamis (29:00) Yeah. Jessica Dove London (29:27) Again, I really love Chatjibity. I highly recommend people use it. However, the difference is our belief is all voices matter. So when you ask questions, we’re actually going to give you answers from experts, from patients and from research. So that would be the difference of this tool. And the reason it can take probably up to a minute to find you an answer is Stroke actually has, I Stroke has 450,000 resources in the database that we built for Stroke. So Stroke’s a really, really big database. I mean, it’s trying to look for that answer and then it’s trying to match you to it. I think that’s just, it hasn’t actually restarted. It’s just. Bill Gasiamis (30:05) It’s doing its thinking. It did seventy nine thousand searches. Jessica Dove London (30:09) And it’s trying to just match it to your profile, give you that answer. And it can get, there we go. Bill Gasiamis (30:15) Wow. And then here we go, ST stem cells is marketed as a supplement that claims to support cellular repair and regeneration, but its efficacy and safety are not well established in clinical research. So that’s like a little bit of ⁓ initial information. And then here you go, the patient view, which is so important in this, isn’t it? It’s important to find people who may have had a procedure and have something to share about it. That’s so, so helpful. And then what the research says, how many research papers has it got here? Wow. Look at that one, two, three, four, five, six, seven already research papers. And they’ll all have links to other research papers that, you know, made those ⁓ studies that sort of give those studies the initial information to get the ball rolling on them. And then, systemic review here which check Jessica Dove London (31:15) Sometimes there’s not actually even a full paper on that. I actually don’t know this topic, obviously, but if you go up to the summary, might even say, sometimes you might learn, there’s actually not specific papers on this. However, here are papers that are relevant. you click show style. It’s on the research here. you click post. So if you go down to what research says. Bill Gasiamis (31:31) Where’s the summary? do I do that? Jessica Dove London (31:37) You just scroll down, yep. And then you click show summary, see that pink little, but here we go. It shows you research trends, key findings, unknowns and mixed opinions, and all of it’s referenced. And that’s just because again, we’re trying to show patients as quickly as possible. Is there information? Is there mixed opinions? Because I think sometimes there’s been a tendency to have one answer to these things and there isn’t one answer. And sometimes there isn’t papers, you know? So we actually have trained our tool to Bill Gasiamis (32:01) Yeah. Yeah. Jessica Dove London (32:07) to sometimes not make up answers. And so, you know, we tested it on very rare protocols and it often says, hey, there is no protocol for your subtype. However, here are protocols that are being studied in other sort of use cases. Bill Gasiamis (32:19) Yeah. And then if I do this view source, this is cool too, right? It just goes directly to the article PubMed article. And you can read that. That’s brilliant. Okay. So then, ⁓ And look, here we go again. It’s found my podcast two times here. ⁓ that is brilliant. love it. And then I did this. went, I think I went back and then I asked the question here because I had like a thing that popped up in my brain today. Right. Somebody kind of said, Hey, have you heard about that? And, ⁓ somebody did that. And, ⁓ and then I just can go. immediately into that and go okay where is it i’m just trying to search on my Jessica Dove London (33:05) While you’re searching, guess the thing that we built with our weekly tool as well, so let’s say you really want to learn about STC 30. I think that’s it’s called. You can just put that in your weekly, your profile, and every week our tool will look for that specific topic because that’s the other thing. So if you click strengthen my profile, can you see that purple box down at the bottom? Yep. If you click on strength, you click on that, you can just say, you can type anything new in here and it’s going to then keep searching it. Bill Gasiamis (33:20) How do I do that? Why would I do that? ⁓ yeah? There you go, there’s all of my data that I put in at the beginning, New York, New York, early 50s age group, approximately 13 years post stroke, all the topics that I was interested in. And where would I put that? Would I put that here, add new? Jessica Dove London (33:34) Or if you Yeah, yeah. And if you start, then we’ll know that that’s at the top. Yeah. But you can, to be act, to actually be honest, you can actually, if you go back, I’ll show you an easier way. So at the end of every weekly update, there’s a huge box that just says, me anything new. but if you go back, I’ll show you something on the dashboard as well. Yep. So if you see, do you see want to do a deep dive, see how this says update me the top on the right. Bill Gasiamis (33:52) ⁓ dashboard. Jessica Dove London (34:13) next to ask, yeah, if you just talk at it and say, I’m now interested in this as a priority, it’ll then put it at the top for your next week’s update. Bill Gasiamis (34:13) ⁓ ⁓ okay. Next question I had a day ago, somebody wanted to know about red light therapy. So why don’t I do that? If I press that and then do that, right? Click this button here. Is that the one? Jessica Dove London (34:31) Or you can talk or type, whatever works for you. Bill Gasiamis (34:34) I’m gonna talk, let’s see if it does. Jessica Dove London (34:36) Let’s see if it works with the podcast, whether it’s taken them. Yeah, I think it’s not working just because you’re doing a podcast, because you’re using the speaker. Bill Gasiamis (34:39) Alright. ⁓ no. Okay, so I’ll type I’ll just say ⁓ red light therapy. Jessica Dove London (34:53) This won’t give you an answer. This is just going to go on to your weekly update now, Bill. Bill Gasiamis (34:58) Okay, okay, so if I if I do that Jessica Dove London (34:59) Yeah. And now, yep. So now it’s actually just added it to your health profile whenever you want to know. So for your next Sunday’s update, you’re now going to have red light therapy in there. But yeah, but the reason we put the voice box is it’s actually sometimes useful to talk a bit more like, Hey, I’m thinking about doing red light therapy. I’m really worried about this, this, this, just actually giving more context. Cause at the of the day, if there’s a thousand new things a week in stroke, you know, this is just a matter of how do you, how does Bill Gasiamis (35:11) my gosh, that’s ugly. Jessica Dove London (35:28) How does any sort of system get you what’s relevant? AI for Stroke Recovery – Real-Life Applications and Success Stories Bill Gasiamis (35:32) It’s a game changer. I’m telling you now. ⁓ I mean, you know that, I don’t know why I’m telling you, but you know that this is the one that was the weirdest thing, methylene blue. Do know it’s a food dye? Sorry. No, it’s not a food dye. It’s a clothes dye. I think it’s like a Indigo clothes dye and people take it. And it’s very risky because, ⁓ it’s very few people that, ⁓ actually experiencing the exact condition that’s related to, ⁓ Jessica Dove London (35:41) Okay. Really? Bill Gasiamis (36:01) neurological dysfunction or mitochondrial dysfunction that methylene blue can help for. And then if you take methylene blue and you take too much of it, ⁓ then it decreases mitochondrial function if you don’t have a need for it. And there’s no way of knowing whether you have mitochondrial dysfunction unless you have the right kind of doctor take you through that process and determine whether your mitochondria are functioning properly. I mean, not many people have access to that, but this is what happened when I, ⁓ put that in there, came up with a whole bunch of information again. This is just like the most obscure thing that everyone’s talking about now. And unfortunately, people are taking Methylene Blue ⁓ without knowing whether or not they’re a candidate. And when they request information from me, I want to be able to give them accurate information and don’t be like that. person who holds onto the data and then doesn’t release it. But I’m confident it could say if you’re somebody considering taking Methylene Blue, do not take Methylene Blue. is so, ⁓ it’s such a nuanced bit of like tool. It’s such a nuanced tool and you need to know like the most amazing people in that space and there’s probably only two of them in the world. So it’s like great that everyone’s talking about it. But I feel really confident now about having the information in front of me to share with stroke survivors. And I would not have felt like that if this tool did not exist. Jessica Dove London (37:34) Again, you could also put that into your weekly updates so that it keeps looking for that particular topic. Because I guess the challenge, the reality is, and the challenge for all of us is we hear these things or we don’t even know things exist. And I think, you know, there is the reality. Like I think you’re always looking for that one thing as well, right? Particularly with any sort of neuro condition, you’re like, is there something really big I’m missing? Bill Gasiamis (37:40) Yeah. you Jessica Dove London (38:00) You know, is there something that could really improve when you’re facing something that maybe, maybe there’s a symptom that won’t go away or, you know, in cerebral palsy, it’s a lifelong condition. So you’re all often like, looking for that. Is there something we’re missing kind of experience or there’s a new topic. like just to give you one example, which is a real example is I was worried about my son having osteoporosis. So I told the tool, I’m worried about my son having osteoporosis. I went to the doctor’s consultant and the consultant said, don’t worry, we don’t need to scan. He said we’re going try and them. But the doctor said, don’t worry. And then the week later, my son got very bad knee pain. We ended up doing an x-ray, which showed potential osteoporosis. I pushed and we got a dextrose. And doctor rings me and he says, yes, your son has osteoporosis. And I said, what can we do to treat this? And he actually told me. we wait for children to break their bones when they have cerebral palsy. Now, if you’re a wheelchair user and you break a bone, that could be a year of rehab for your life. Now I’d put this into the tool and in the period of two to three weeks, it had found me two papers studying children with osteoporosis with cerebral palsy and an expert interview. I said to the doctor, why are we not testing his calcium? Why are we not looking at his vitamin D? And the doctor said, you’re right. We need to test those levels. Now like, One, the reality is that consultant just can’t stay to date. Like I actually understand he’s busy. He’s actually serving lots of different conditions. And so like my passion and my hope is that we can do that work for people. because I have organized my son to get these blood tests now because we’re being proactive. Cause I don’t want him to break, break his bones. You know, I care more than anybody. He, know, it’s quality of life. And also when you have a label like cerebral palsy or stroke, Sometimes things can be disregarded, you know, it’s really, they think, ⁓ this is complex. We don’t really know. Well, maybe we just haven’t read the paper from three months ago or that really useful webinar from a conference that was last week. I’m talking about that exact symptom that is legitimate. So yeah, that’s my real passion, Bill is empowering people because, know, I think we all have these stories of being disregarded or. You know, and I do have a lot of hope for the future and I love medical professionals. I have some incredible people that I work with, but curiosity is just not usually the experience of most professionals when they’re, you know, they are just humans doing their best overwhelmed and usually not fully up to date. Bill Gasiamis (40:39) Yep. And they also don’t know what they don’t know. It’s no different to us, right? If they have, if it hasn’t fallen onto their lap and if they haven’t had a lucky day where they saw an article or, know, they’re in the same boat and as frustrating as it can be, and as much as you want to kind of dude, you know, you’re the guy leading my, my healthcare, you know, like I, I’m entrusting you with more than just this blasé attitude at that, like Jessica Dove London (40:43) Yes! That’s right. Bill Gasiamis (41:06) And that’s not helpful either. I totally get it as well. Jessica Dove London (41:08) That’s right. That’s right. You want to do it together. You know, I was on a call this week with not someone from stroke or cerebral palsy, but it was a consult specialist from another disease. I won’t mention what disease, but they said to me on the call, they picked up something from their desk and they said, I have a journal sitting here from early October and I’ve been trying to read it every day. But this person is a surgeon and is very, very busy. And they were telling me to build my tool, like this tool for doctors. She was like, We can’t stay up to date and we really want to, and we do. Like she will read that paper. But it’s such a burden on healthcare professionals. So my real hope in the future is that we go to our professionals and we look together at the evidence. know, there is that, cause you know, the truth is some world leaders obviously in a lot of professionals know a lot more and their lens is very useful of going, actually that is interesting. this is something we hadn’t thought about, or let’s look at this. Just that there’s time limitation. All right, sound good. Bill Gasiamis (42:08) I know they care. And when you’re a surgeon and somebody says, ⁓ emergency just rocked up through the door and it’s 1am, they drop everything and they go right. So then you want to give that person a break as well and say to my care what what do you want to sleep tomorrow morning? Okay, no worries, by all means sleep. And it makes complete sense why a journal could be on somebody’s desk and not get read. I mean, that happens with my taxes. They’re there forever. Jessica Dove London (42:19) Yeah. actually. Bill Gasiamis (42:35) and they need to get done. And I can come up with a million things that I prioritize over that thing because it’s actually a priority. I’m not saying that I don’t pay my taxes. I definitely do. But with a surgeon, you can understand where they would rather spend their time is helping people get through that particular situation that they’re finding themselves in. the, what is it like? It’s like, ⁓ by the way, there’s this journal there yet. I’m going to spend an hour reading that. what somebody needs surgery. No problem. Let’s go. I totally get it. I get it. And this tool kind of enables patients, I think, to have more information and take that to a meeting with a surgeon with a clinical, you know, in a clinical setting, wherever they are, and begin a conversation that perhaps wouldn’t have begun again. That information then does go kind of in that Jessica Dove London (43:09) That’s right. Bill Gasiamis (43:31) either at the front of the mind of that person or at the back of the mind of that person so that they can access it when they need it and then go, you know, I’m going to be curious about that. I’m going to go down that path. Or if you take that to your doctor or a clinician or someone in that space and they say, don’t worry about that, then that’s also a good sign for I need to find a new doctor. I need to find a new clinician, someone who’s going to take the feedback and the information that I bring them seriously. Empowering Patients Through Collaboration Jessica Dove London (43:57) Yeah. 100%. 100%. I think it’s that collaboration. know, we have a person on our team right now. He’s not the most knowledgeable, but just, and he isn’t the specialist, but he’s very supportive and really wants to look at evidence and is always helping us find the right specialist. And it’s just an incredibly wonderful experience to have someone who’s on that side of always validating. then she knows that we’re reading more than she is on some of these topics. And I want to help. don’t want to be doing this alone. Like that’s the other thing you want. You want people to help you and have the answers and give you better. You know, you don’t want to be doing the wrong treatment or wasting that, you know, I always think you can’t try everything even if lots of things worked. But you can do things that don’t work or you can do things that are risky. And I think for so long, has been very risk averse. However, there are so many treatments that are You know, have huge outcomes. You know, we, one of the things we did with our son, he started school in continent. And I listened to a podcast interviewing a world leader out of UCLA. They, um, you know, we’ve actually got a lot of these stories, barely we’ve been able to talk before about some of the things we’ve tried, but it’s a, an external device giving, uh, this is a different one building what we talked about, but it’s a device you put on your back. And it was this new breakthrough about, uh, the spine is connected to motor planning and he. within two days became fully continent. And this is a $300 machine. It was free. The protocol was free and he’s completely continent at school. Like that’s his whole life changed. And the reason I did it is because I listened to a podcast with a world leader and it’s heaps of evidence. There just wasn’t yet evidence in cerebral palsy because they just brought it to cerebral palsy from spinal cord injury. And his whole life changed and I actually have a friend who’s a world leading researcher in this space in cerebral palsy and me and him have spoken about this technology and it’s very exciting. But not everyone can go and talk to this world leading research to go, yeah, this is valid. This makes total sense. You should be trying this. And so how many people are incontinent because of that one particular insight that’s not being shared. know, there’s just so many stories like this of things that are low risk, that have really good. ⁓ potential to change people’s lives. Bill Gasiamis (46:17) Yeah, that’s brilliant. We’re going to obviously get the link to that particular device and we’re going to put it in the show notes. Jessica Dove London (46:23) We should do a session just on devices. I love technology. ⁓ Bill Gasiamis (46:28) Yeah, but that’s the beauty of it, right? We wouldn’t have had that information hadn’t it been for this particular product coming up in the search in the results. ⁓ Jessica Dove London (46:37) That’s right. So one of the things I tell Tony is I want new technology and new equipment. And so last week in my update, it found me a patient comment of someone who’s built a device, a hand device to hold things and they have a web link, but they themselves went and built this device. All the plans are online. And because I’m obsessed with new technology, it’s doing that for me. I’m also obsessed with like new wheelchairs and new, you know, know, new scooters and it’s all. Bill Gasiamis (46:44) you Jessica Dove London (47:06) I love this, like that’s one of my personal sort of like things I’m always looking for. But again, that tool is doing some of that, a lot of that lifting for me, because I can’t read it all. Bill Gasiamis (47:17) Yeah, brilliant. love it. I can’t read it all either. And I definitely don’t know what the obscure things are that people ask for my podcast. And I’m expected to know which is a really, it’s a really lovely thing. Like, you know, like people are coming to me for advice and I want to, I want to be the guy I want to be the connector. want to see people to read. Jessica Dove London (47:37) You can actually share that page when you ask Tony, you can do a URL and share that for your listeners so they can get access to it. Just so you know the bottom so they can just share it and see if it’s useful or not. And that’s the thing like it’s more about is it useful or not for you. Bill Gasiamis (47:44) Yeah, I will be doing that. Yeah, I think what I’ll be doing is answering people’s questions because they’re so lovely to ask them. What I’ll do is I’ll do a search for them on tourney. I’ll record the whole thing and I’ll tell them, you know, one of my stroke survivors who listens to my podcast wants to know about this information. Give me the data. We’ll come up with some research. I’ll answer the question. And then like, I’ll feel amazing that that happened relatively quickly as well, which is going to before for me to actually my gosh, I just had that feeling where I’m like that doctor who gets asked these questions and doesn’t know. So says, my God, I’m going to leave that unanswered or or I’ll tell them there’s nothing about that that we can talk about because there’s no information. I just felt like that doctor where somebody asked him the question and I was like, I’ve got no idea what you’re talking about. Just keep doing what you’re doing or what I’m telling you to do. Whereas now that goes away. That feeling of I don’t think I can help you, goes away. We might not be able to have the answers. We might find out that in fact there is nothing available yet in that space, right? So that’s kind of where Tony will also go. It’ll go, well, there’s nothing here. Jessica Dove London (49:04) and might just find things that are related because that’s the other thing. Like if I’d asked Tony about this, this technology, it’s called spinal. It’s confusing because there’s a few things called spinal stimulation, but it’s trans trans. I’m not going to, I’ll give, can put it in a note. So it’s a technical term, but in the cerebral palsy community, call it spinal stim. Yeah. If I’d put that in, nothing would come back because it was only last year that two research papers had come out about this. However, it would find related things because there is a lot of related concepts. that particular technology and that thinking. Like there was actually a surgery of how that was using the same, doing the same amount of healing. But the benefit of obviously using a machine that you put on your back is it’s not, or brain surgery, which is hugely risky or implanting devices and all that. It’s just not always answers. There’s not always evidence, but there is things, there’s not much happening. And that’s probably my last thought to share is just. Bill Gasiamis (49:49) Yeah. Jessica Dove London (49:57) There is so much happening and I think you’ve lived this bill, like there is a lot of new technologies, new treatments, lifestyles. There’s so much happening in the recovery space and you know, there’s a lot of hope to be had. And that’s one of my biggest feelings of this tool when I use it for myself is hope. literally it found me an advantage. my son is very adventurous and wants to be a, I do not want him to be this, but he wants to be like a wheelchair stunt person. And there was an online event about teenagers getting into skate parks. And I just had such hope that there’s all these people out there trying to make like a Yeah, I didn’t attend because I’m like, he’s only 10. I’m like, no, we can’t do this yet. Bill Gasiamis (50:40) I love that you don’t want to I love that you don’t want him to break his arm roller skating. Jessica Dove London (50:47) You Bill Gasiamis (50:48) I love it. love it. That’s what normal, normal moms do. Right. But there you go. Yeah. Oh, of course it does. That’s Yeah, I love it. Absolutely. Um, that’s exactly why I like Tony because it will do things that we’ve struggled to do for a long time is find resources, information, all that kind of thing. And it’ll do it quickly and it’ll do it. Jessica Dove London (50:51) That’s right. dad does take him to the skate park. His dad takes him. And he goes down. It’s terrible. It’s so scary. Bill Gasiamis (51:15) specifically for you and it’ll send it to your inbox. You don’t have to go anywhere. Now there will be a link for people to click on and go across and get a little discount or some kind of like a, can we talk about that briefly? Jessica Dove London (51:31) Yeah, yeah. So we, this is a low cost AI tool. So we charge two US dollars a week for that weekly update. And it actually costs us $2.80 per update just because we read a million tokens per person to generate that. And we want to provide the most valuable, those value and the most accessible, valuable focus. Not everybody can be spending $30, $40 a month on the really advanced AI tools either. But you can try it for free. So you can just try it for three weeks and see if it’s valuable because end of the day, that’s all we want. And you know, we want your feedback. If you’re like, I’d love it to do this, to do that. We’re a team that really just want to, you know, that’s the beauty of being a technology team is we can build some of these solutions pretty easily. So yeah, you can go through the link and get a 10 % discount, but you can also just try it for free and see if this is valuable for you. Bill Gasiamis (52:22) Yeah, I tried it for free for three weeks and the it’s like having subscribed to the full thing because you’ve got everything that it can possibly do in that three weeks. I’ve got a really good feel for it. So I’ll have that linked as well in the show notes. And then if you’re watching this video and you want to get a sense of ⁓ what this thing is like, what it’s like when I use it, et cetera, I’ll be doing my answers to red light therapy and STC 30. Jessica Dove London (52:29) Yeah, 100%. That’s right. That’s right. Bill Gasiamis (52:49) I’ll be doing all those types of videos. People will be able to see it. The website is turnto.ai. So it’s T-U-R-N-T-O.ai. I’ll have the links in the show notes for that as well. Jessica, thank you so much for reaching out, persevering when I was being a little bit slack with my inbox and then, yeah, kind of developing this tool with your team and bringing it to us. really appreciate it. that you’ve done that and that it’s there because it’s definitely going to improve. It’s going to decrease the amount of time that I take to find information to help me as well because I’m a stroke survivor and I’ve got my own stuff I go through. So thank you for that. Jessica Dove London (53:30) been great to be here, Bill Gasiamis (53:31) You’ve just heard how AI can fundamentally change the way stroke survivors find recovery information, not by replacing doctors, but by reducing overwhelm and helping us ask better questions. In this episode, we explored why stroke recovery information feels so scattered, how fatigue and brain fog makes searching harder and how tools like turnto.ai can bring clarity, speed and hope back into the process. If this conversation resonated with you, I encourage you to explore the tool for yourself. You’ll find a listener discount code in the show notes. More information at recoveryafterstroke.com/turnto, and remember this podcast exists so that no stroke survivor ever has to feel like they’re doing this alone. If you would like to support the work that I do here, you can support me on Patreon at patreon.com/recoveryafterstroke. Your support helps me continue recording these conversations and working toward my goal of a thousand episodes. Thanks for listening. I’ll see you in the next episode.

Telco's Sophistication Paradox: Why They Can't Explain Their Own Genius The Telco Century Club (100+ years of telco experience between us) is back with a brutal reality check on an industry that's mastered building brilliant technology but completely botched explaining why anyone should care. Charles teams up with telecoms veterans Rob Jones (Sylva Growth Partners) and Chris Lewis (Lewis Insights, The Great Telco Debate) for an unfiltered dissection of why 25 years of "transformation talk" has changed absolutely nothing. From Telstra's genius digital twin platform that died because no one could pitch it internally, to network APIs that sound impressive but solve problems nobody asked for - this episode exposes the sophistication paradox that's killing telco innovation. Key Battlegrounds: Why telco layoffs are a perpetual pattern, not strategic responses The "build it and they will come" mentality that's still sabotaging 5G monetisation How MVNOs are eating traditional operators' lunch through superior segmentation AI-native platforms making MVNO entry cheaper and easier than ever Middle Eastern operators like e& and STC outplaying Western telcos with actual execution The coming satellite reality check (spoiler: it won't replace mobile networks) Network APIs heading to the technology graveyard alongside network slicing Reputation-Staking Predictions for 2026: Chris bets on AI chatbots finally becoming genuinely useful. Rob sees Google dominating user experience through AI integration. Charles predicts internal AI efficiency gains - if telcos can resist their urge to overcomplicate everything. Plus: Will the US take a stake in Nokia or Ericsson? And our final verdict on whether telcos will transform, disappoint as usual, or somehow make things worse.   Timestamps: 00:00 The Telco Century Club Returns 00:53 18 Months Later: Still Building Tech Nobody Understands 03:13 The Layoff Epidemic: Why It Never Actually Ends 08:04 Telco to TechCo Dreams Meet Harsh Reality 10:02 Network APIs: The Communication Disaster Continues 20:26 AI Reality Check: Separating Hype from Hope 28:20 Why OpenAI Might Go Broke (And Apple's Playing It Smart) 29:15 MVNOs Quietly Stealing Market Share 33:14 AI-Native Platforms: The MVNO Revolution Nobody Saw Coming 36:41 Satellite Hype Crashes Into Indoor Coverage Reality 41:15 2026 Predictions: Putting Reputations on the Line 49:35 Final Verdict: Will Telcos Finally Transform or Keep Disappointing?

SHOW 12-8-2025 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1895 KHYBER PASS THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE FEDERAL RESERVE  BOARD OF GOVERNORS. FIRST HOUR 9-915 The DC Shooter, the Zero Units, and the Tragedy of the Afghan Withdrawal: Colleagues Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss recent violence in Washington, D.C. involving an Afghan immigrant that has drawn attention back to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021; the shooter, Ramanula Lakanal, was a member of the elite "Zero Units" of the Afghan National Army, a force that demanded priority evacuation for their families in exchange for providing security at the Kabul airport during the U.S. retreat, and while these units were stalwart allies against enemies like al-Qaeda and ISIS, they fought a "dirty war" and were accused of human rights violations, highlighting the broader failure of the withdrawal which occurred because political will faded across multiple administrations. 915-930 The Vetting Failure and the Lack of an Exit Strategy in Afghanistan: Colleagues Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggioexplain that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was exacerbated by the lack of a methodical exit strategy, unlike the British who organized their departure and evacuation lists well in advance; critics argue that the U.S. imported significant security risks by rushing the evacuation, bringing in over 100,000 Afghans without adequate vetting, and while there was a moral obligation to help those who served, experts suggest that wholesale importation of citizens from a war-torn country was not the only solution and that better vetting or resettlement in third countries should have been considered. 930-945 Martial Law in South Korea and the Shadow of the North: Colleagues Morse Tan and Gordon Chang discuss South Korea facing severe political turmoil following President Yoon's declaration of martial law, a move his supporters argue was a constitutional response to obstructionist anti-state forces; the opposition, led by figures previously sympathetic to North Korea, has been accused of attempting to paralyze the government, while accusations of "insurrection" against President Yoon are dismissed as nonsensical, with the political infighting fracturing the conservative party and leaving South Korea vulnerable to the North Korean regime in a way not seen since the Korean War. 945-1000 Japan Stands Up for Taiwan While Canada Demurs: Colleagues Charles Burton and Gordon Chang report that Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi recently declared that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a "survival threatening situation" for Japan, authorizing the mobilization of self-defense forces; this statement has triggered a massive propaganda campaign from Beijing demanding a retraction, as a successful invasion of Taiwan would likely require violating Japanese sovereignty, while in contrast Canada remains reluctant to support Tokyo or criticize Beijing, hoping to secure trade benefits and diversify exports away from the U.S., leaving Japan isolated by its allies. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 The Survival of UNRWA and the Flow of Terror Finance: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotterreport that despite investigations revealing corruption and ties to terrorism, the UN has renewed the mandate for UNRWA for another three years; the organization's facilities have been used by Hamas and its schools have been implicated in radicalizing children, yet international efforts to replace it have stalled, while Hamas leadership refuses to disarm or accept international oversight, demanding a Palestinian state as a precondition for any change, with financial support for terror groups continuing to flow through networks in Europe and the Middle East. 1015-1030 Greece's "Achilles Shield" and Israel's Iron Beam Laser Defense: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter report that Greece is undertaking a historic modernization of its armed forces, unveiling a new national defense strategy focused on long-range missiles and a modernized air defense system dubbed "Achilles Shield," allowing Greece to project power more flexibly in the Eastern Mediterranean and counter threats from Turkey; in Israel, a major defensive breakthrough is imminent with the deployment of the "Iron Beam," a laser defense system capable of intercepting threats at approximately $50 per shot, expected to rewrite the rules of air defense by effectively countering drone swarms and missiles. 1030-1045 Hezbollah's Quiet Regeneration Under Naim Qassem: Colleagues David Daoud and Bill Roggio report that since the ceasefire began, Hezbollah has received at least $2 billion from Iran and is actively rearming and regenerating its forces in Lebanon; the terror group is focusing on acquiring drone swarms and other asymmetrical weapons that are cheap to produce and difficult for Israel to counter, while Hezbollah's new leader Naim Qassem is leveraging his "bookish" and underestimated persona to lower the temperature and allow the group to rebuild without attracting the same level of scrutiny as his predecessor. 1045-1100 Fragmentation in Yemen: The Southern Transitional Council Advances: Colleagues Bridget Tumi and Bill Roggio report that the civil war in Yemen is fracturing further as the Southern Transitional Council, which advocates for southern secession, advances into eastern governorates to secure territory and combat smuggling; this move has heightened tensions within the anti-Houthi coalition, as the STC is backed by the UAE while other government factions are supported by Saudi Arabia, weakening the collective effort against the Houthis who control the capital Sanaa and maintain ambitions to conquer the entire country. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 The Druze National Guard and Internal Strife in Southern Syria: Colleagues Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio report that instability is growing in Syria's Druze-majority Suwayda province, where a newly formed "National Guard" militia has begun arresting and killing political opponents; the militia is spiritually guided by Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, who has consolidated power by sidelining other Druze leaders who were open to reconciliation with the Assad regime, with Turkey expressing support for the anti-Assad Druze factions against both the Syrian government and Kurdish forces, while recent violence suggests a hardening of anti-regime sentiment. 1115-1130 The "Variable Geometry" of the Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Affiliates: Colleagues Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio explain that the Muslim Brotherhood operates as a "mothership" for various Islamist movements, utilizing a strategy of "variable geometry" to adapt to local political environments while aiming for a global caliphate; Hamas functions as the Palestinian branch of the Brotherhood and despite being severely damaged by the war with Israel remains the dominant force in Gaza, with the Brotherhood finding state sponsorship primarily in Qatar, which provides funding and media support via Al Jazeera, and Turkey, where President Erdogan acts as a leader for the organization. 1130-1145 Ukraine Negotiations Hit a Cul-de-Sac Amidst Infiltration Tactics: Colleagues John Hardie and Bill Roggio report that peace talks regarding Ukraine are currently at a standstill, with the U.S. and Ukraine at odds over Russia's demands for territory in the Donbas versus Ukraine's need for meaningful security guarantees; while the U.S. has pressured Ukraine to concede territory, the security assurances offered are viewed skeptically by Kyiv, and Russia refuses to accept any Western military presence in Ukraine, while on the battlefield Russia employs infiltration tactics using small groups, sometimes single soldiers, to penetrate deep into Ukrainian positions. 1145-1200 The Trump Corollary: Reviving the Monroe Doctrine in Latin America: Colleague Ernesto Araújo discusses a new "Trump corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine reshaping U.S. policy in the Americas, signaling a more assertive stance against foreign influence and authoritarian regimes; this shift is evident in Venezuela, where President Maduro appears to be negotiating his exit in the face of U.S. pressure, while in Brazil the administration of Lula da Silva faces significant instability due to a massive banking scandal linking the government to money laundering and organized crime, with the new application of the Monroe Doctrine suggesting the U.S. will favor political figures aligned with its security strategy. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Devil's Advocates: Robert Stryk, Rudy Giuliani, and the Business of Influence: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel discusses how in the power vacuum created by Donald Trump's arrival in Washington, unconventional lobbyists like Robert Stryk rose to prominence by marketing access to the new administration; Stryk, described as an "anti-hero" with a checkered business past, hosted a lavish event at the Hay-Adams Hotel to legitimize the regime of Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, successfully delivering Rudy Giuliani as Trump's personal attorney, signaling a new informal channel for foreign diplomacy and highlighting how foreign regimes utilized large sums of money and unconventional intermediaries to seek favor. 1215-1230 The Accidental Diplomat: Robert Stryk and the New Zealand Connection: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that Robert Stryk's rise in the lobbying world was fueled by serendipity and bold bluffs, exemplified by a chance encounter with a New Zealand diplomat at a cafe; the diplomat revealed that New Zealand, having prepared for a Clinton victory, had no contacts within the incoming Trump team and could not arrange a congratulatory call between their Prime Minister and the President-elect, and Stryk, leveraging a connection to a former Trump campaign field director, provided a phone number that successfully connected the embassy to Trump's team, establishing his credibility and launching his career in high-stakes foreign lobbying. 1230-1245 Hunter Biden, Chinese Spies, and the Monetization of Political Connections: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel reports that following his father's departure from the vice presidency, Hunter Biden faced financial pressure and sought lucrative foreign clients, leading to risky entanglements; one venture involved a corrupt Romanian real estate magnate who hired Hunter along with former FBI Director Louis Freeh and Rudy Giuliani to resolve his legal troubles, with the proposed solution involving selling land including the site of the U.S. Embassy in Romania to a Chinese state-linked fund, and Hunter Biden was aware of the nature of his associates, referring to one as the "spy chief of China." 1245-100 AM FARA: From Fighting Nazi Propaganda to Modern Transparency: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that the Foreign Agents Registration Act was originally enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda in the United States before World War II; at the time, the Third Reich was paying well-connected American consultants to whitewash Hitler's image and keep the U.S. out of the war, operating without public knowledge, and Congress passed FARA to create transparency, requiring those paid by foreign principals to influence the U.S. government or media to register their activities, with the law remaining today the primary vehicle for accountability in foreign lobbying

Fragmentation in Yemen: The Southern Transitional Council Advances: Colleagues Bridget Tumi and Bill Roggio report that the civil war in Yemen is fracturing further as the Southern Transitional Council, which advocates for southern secession, advances into eastern governorates to secure territory and combat smuggling; this move has heightened tensions within the anti-Houthi coalition, as the STC is backed by the UAE while other government factions are supported by Saudi Arabia, weakening the collective effort against the Houthis who control thYEMEN800 e capital Sanaa and maintain ambitions to conquer the entire country. 1800 YEMEN

Vi har varit på löparresa och tillsammans sprungit ofantligt många mil. En vecka i löpningens tecken med snabba och duktiga deltagare. En av dessa var David Hartman. Skåningen som efter några år av skörlevnad såg ett klipp på Haile Gebreselassie och insåg att han själv liknande legendaren i storlek, tanken "jag kan också springa" väcktes och nu dryga 20 år senare är han som 44-åring snabbare och starkare än någonsin. David berättar om hur han lagt om livet för att kunna springa mycket och fort, tiderna han drömmer om och hur han frångått fartkrav för att fokusera på pulsstyrning.  Manne och John går igenom veckan på Playitas och listar sina favoritsaker. Manne prisar Fredrik Uhrbom som varit med på varje pass och John har fått en man-crush på en gift smålänning.  Söndag den 14/12 arrangerar vi Event tillsammans med STC och Saucony för att testa deras nya gym på hälsans Ö.

The perfect recipe for burnout is to work in a caring profession, be a slave to perfectionism, and neglect your needs. As clinicians, we realize that we work in a flawed healthcare system in the US, but how do we exist in this environment to do good work and sustain ourselves from a holistic perspective that goes way beyond basic self-care?

This session is the second part of a series called “Podcasting for Therapists.” You can check out the first part of the series on launching your podcast with this link.

More specifically, how do you strategically and thoughtfully turn your podcast into a platform that leads to more income, impact, and invitations to do the work that lights you up? This is an aspect of podcasting that is often overlooked. You start a podcast to serve others, but it gradually becomes a bridge to other opportunities, like online courses, book deals, speaking gigs, retreats, and relationships you could have never imagined.

Gavin defines Impact Insulation Class (IIC) and shows how it relates to sound isolation for footsteps, furniture movement, and other floor-borne vibration. He contrasts IIC with STC (airborne noise), walks through the rating scale and typical code minimums, outlines recommended IIC targets for different building types, demonstrates how IIC is tested with a tapping machine (ASTM method; result rated per ASTM E989), and details practical ways to improve IIC, like carpet + pad, floor underlayment, floating floors, and when ceiling upgrades help. He also notes slab thickness effects and why avoiding stacked noise-sensitive rooms matters.Video By: More Than Media - https://www.morethan.media/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morethan.media/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morethan.mediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morethanmedia_The S.O.U.N.D.

Today's session is about shutting down your private practice, which is an inevitable step in the journey for many therapists. The two main options are to sell their private practice or shut it down, which can be the best choice for a therapist who wants to pursue other avenues and achieve more freedom in their life. Join us to learn more!Our Featured GuestDr. Jen BlanchetteDr. Jen Blanchette is a licensed psychologist, podcaster, speaker, career coach, and business consultant. Her passion is helping therapists and other caring professionals say goodbye to burnout culture and find the support they need. In the early years of the pandemic, Dr. Jen made the decision to close the private practice she had worked hard to build; a combination of burnout and the realization that she wanted to focus on other things fueled her decision. In today's conversation, we cover the real, emotional side of shutting down a private practice, which includes terminating relationships with clients and handling logistical challenges. Guilt and shame accompany this difficult decision, and Dr. Jen shares what she wishes she had known back then. She gives her insight into other details of the closing process, along with an optimal timeline for closing.

Today's session is all about designing a therapist-friendly course that actually gets finished. This is the third in our series, The Therapist's Path to a Successful Online Course. A lesser-known fact about online courses is that they have a notoriously low completion rate. The real challenge for course creators is to include content that is engaging yet concise, so that people stay engaged until completion. Since we've invested time and effort in creating a transformational online course experience, we want people to complete the entire course.You'll Learn:Course building strategies that don't overload your studentsBuilding a course for them, not meIn course creation, look for the most straightforward path from A to B.“A finished course is more powerful than a perfect one.”3 anchors for course design to improve completion rates:Design for real-life energy, not ideal circumstances.Layer-in accountability and gentle community to serve “one to many” over 1:1.Keep the path simple and straightforward.

This is the 400th episode of Selling the Couch! It is truly surreal to think back to 2015 and the show's humble beginnings; reaching this milestone is beyond anything I ever dreamed of 10 years ago. I want to use this milestone to reflect on a few meaningful thoughts about staying the course to reap the quiet rewards. What does it mean to choose depth over scale and to build intentionally and slowly when the world often tells us to go fast? The truth in this concept of depth over scale is the most impactful lesson I've learned on this journey. In this episode, I'm focusing on 3 reflections that I hope encourage you, especially if you are in a season of slow growth. You'll Learn:My experience: Feeling behind when everyone else seemed to be scaling faster: “Am I doing this wrong?”What clicked for me: “Speed makes noise, but depth builds roots.”3 Quiet-Builder truths for longevity and depth:Slow growth is often the healthiest growth.We often think reputation comes from a single moment, but it comes from quiet consistency.Depth protects your nervous system. (“There is a cost for going fast. Depth is kinder.”)A business should give you life—not drain you.Want to know more about being a Quiet Builder?

Today's solo episode is the second of a three-part series we call The Therapist's Path to a Successful Online Course. Today's focus is on what therapists often get wrong about selling their first online course, considering all the assumptions we make and the misconceptions we hold about online courses. I'm bringing full transparency to today's topic as I share what I've learned through my years of experience with online courses. You'll Learn:The guilt loop running in my head (“I became a therapist to help people, not to sell things.”)Mindset shift that made it all make sense to meEthical selling: a path to transformation with deep care and clarity3 sales mistakes therapists make—and what to do instead:Thinking “sales equals sleazing”Think of aligned sales as clear communication with a gentle and generous invitation.Avoiding the “ask” entirelyIf someone is clearly interested, don't make them guess how to work with you.

Welcome to our fall season of new episodes! After a busy summer of family time and travel, I'm excited to be back with you on the podcast. Today's conversation is an important one about mindful language in conversations touching on race and culture. Join us!Our Featured GuestDr. Nathalie EdmondDr. Nathalie Edmond is a licensed psychologist and the author of Mindful Race Talk: Building Literacy, Fluency, and Agility. She is the perfect guest to help us approach race as clinicians in the therapy room and in our advocacy work. We are covering topics such as what it means to have an “embodied” conversation about race, the importance of our language, and how we can strike a balance between honesty and accountability. Our discussion includes the elements of conversations that are truly beneficial in light of today's racially charged climate of cancel culture and “colorblindness.” We wrap up with a look at how clinicians can build cross-racial solidarity. WebsiteYou'll Learn:The impetus and inspiration for writing Mindful Race TalkAn “embodied conversation” about race—What does that mean?The importance of practicing to balance compassion and accountabilityNot talking about race is NOT the answer!The danger that clinicians face regarding multicultural awarenessThe myth of “colorblindness” vs. living with an attitude of racial and cultural awarenessSteps to build racial competence, literacy, and agilityThe “charge” associated with the topic of raceDr. Nathalie's advice for clinicians about tuning in and developing mindfulness and awarenessActions clinicians can take to develop cross-racial solidarity—What does this look like?Resources:Building and managing the practice you truly want can feel overwhelming.

So many people want a long term care plan with all the bells and whistles.  They want a plan that will pay for everything that could ever happen.  These plans are often priced higher than a budget allows. Why do people state that they want no coverage if they can't get the best plan out there? We don't do this anywhere but with LTC insurance. Do we not own a car because we can't afford a Tesla? No. Do we not eat because we can't afford the steak? No. When I work wit you, we work together to determine how much risk is both acceptable and affordable. There are plans offered to people on a stricter budget.  There are plans that accept medical concerns that other plans don't accept.  There are plans offered to age 89 in some states. Listen and then scheudle some time to work through this together

How do you fix a fix? Mike, Paul, and Colleen explore STC challenges, including parts, wrong installations, and ADS-B that isn't working. Email podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to get on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org Full notes below: Barat has a Cirrus SR22 with an STC air conditioner. The driveshaft recently broke and he's wondering how to fix it. Some mechanics he's spoken to won't use alternative parts, but others will. Mike said it's not unlike altering the original type certificate. The question is whether your alternative to the supplemental type certificate is major or minor. Mike and Paul agree that it sounds like a minor alteration because the parts are now available from Cirrus, based on the STC that Barat had it installed previously.   Kevin has an LX7 with advanced avionics. A month or so after a trip through the Southwest, he got a letter from the FAA saying his ADS-B wasn't functioning properly. He's wondering how to know whether or not it's working. Mike said he thinks this problem is similar to the transponder question. Even though there's a reg that requires that an installed transponder be on and functioning, there's no way to know if that's the case, other than an ATC report or during a 24-month check. The hosts suggest you could do the same with ADS-B, requesting a report from the FAA on a periodic basis.   Byron has a Cessna 170 that he purchased three years ago. The airplane came with vortex generators that were installed incorrectly. Byron is wondering what he should do next in terms of holding the original installer accountable. The hosts caution him on going to the FAA because they can't investigate halfway. Mike wonders whether the FAA would actually go after the mechanic, since it's not a safety of flight issue. Paul thinks making an honest mistake is usually let off from the FAA with minor infractions.

Barry and Connie have been regular guests on Stirring The Cauldron over they years.  This time they paid a visit to Marla and Ron on Ghost Chronicles.  They usually do channeling on STC but this evening on Ghost Chronicle, you might find out more about Barry and Connie that you've known before.  It was a very interesting podcast.   

Today's session is all about rebranding. We are taking a behind-the-scenes look at how different circumstances might affect the business you've established and force you to rebrand. Should you view this kind of pivot as a failure? Absolutely not! Let's explore this topic together.Our Featured GuestKevon CheungKevon Cheung is the founder and head teacher at Small School. He was a previous guest on the podcast several years ago, and I've taken his Build in Public Mastery Course to help overcome my fears about posting on social media. I learned a lot of helpful information about creating effective posts on LinkedIn, YouTube, and the STC podcast. Kevon's wisdom and practical knowledge have helped me lean into vulnerability in many areas. In light of his rebranding from Public Lab to Small School, Kevon shares the pain and difficulties in business building and rebranding, why he felt the need to rebrand, and what he teaches in his online “small courses.” He also explains where he sees course creators stumbling the most. Small SchoolYou'll Learn:The painful parts of Kevon's rebranding process (Changing your identity and “rebuilding what you're known for”)Kevon's thoughts about working through the inevitable feelings of failure when a change became necessary (How to reframe your mindset about a pivot)The biggest mistake course creators makeKevon's #1 piece of advice for entrepreneurs and course creatorsKevon's reasoning behind his “all in” attitude about online coursesKnowing when to add a course as a new offering (Have you validated your expertise with your audience?)Where course creators stumble the most–and why the goal is to create an experience that connects, surprises, and delightsKevon's perspective on what a “small course” isResources:Interested in becoming part of our affiliate program?

Whether you're still dreaming of launching or you've already started and are feeling burnout, I'm here to share the habits that have completely transformed my approach to podcasting.

Get ready to hear how you can implement these practices into your own podcasting journey and finally create a process that works for YOU!You'll Learn: 7 habits that have changed everything for me:Design for longevity, not growth.Learn how I structure my podcast schedule around the life I want.Capture ideas daily.I use a private Slack channel to keep podcast ideas and give me a pipeline of new content.Follow a repeatable episode outline.Establish a framework for solo and guest episodes, and use solo episodes to invite people to your products and services.Batch record on off-months.I record January and February episodes in November and December and keep 3-6 episodes “in the bank” to create a buffer and flexibility.Warm up my voice and energy before recording.There are simple habits (tea, deep breathing, diction exercises, etc.) that work to help me treat my podcast like a speaking engagement.Promote my own offers first, and not just sponsors.Research shows that podcasters are the most trusted media personalities, and inviting people in through dynamic ads is a game changer.
