Developing complex biologics and advanced therapies is historically time-consuming and material-intensive—but computational modeling is reshaping the formulation landscape.In this episode of Life Science Solutions, host Chris Adkins is joined by Andrea Arsiccio, PhD, Senior Scientist and Team Lead In Silico at Coriolis Pharma, to discuss how in silico modeling is revolutionizing the assessment of developability and formulation strategies for new drug products.Andrea breaks down how Coriolis Pharma combines physics-based models and Artificial Intelligence with traditional wet lab experimentation to predict molecule behavior, identify liabilities early, and solve complex problems like aggregation and viscosity.Topics Include:Defining In Silico: Understanding the spectrum from mechanistic models and molecular dynamics to AI and machine learning.Accelerating Development: How computational tools reduce the need for animal testing and save precious material in early-phase development.The "Why" Behind the "What": Using modeling to uncover the specific mechanisms causing instability or aggregation.The Hybrid Approach: Validating digital predictions with high-throughput wet lab screening for a robust formulation strategy.Regulatory Perspectives: How the FDA and EMA are viewing AI data and the importance of establishing model credibility.Expansion: Coriolis Pharma's growth into the US market and their new capabilities in Research Triangle Park.Whether you are a formulation scientist, a CMC leader, or a regulatory professional, this episode provides a fascinating look at how digital twins and computational strategies are de-risking the path to market for life-saving therapies.

Join a community of ambitious CEOs who are looking to build market-leading companies without sacrificing health and happiness.Check out: https://limitless.ceoWhat happens when your “software startup” accidentally turns into an agency, and that mistake becomes the fuel for your next breakout company? In this episode, I sit down with Reza, founder of Motion, to unpack one of the most honest startup journeys you'll hear: pivots under pressure, brutal clarity moments, and the insight that reshaped modern growth marketing.We talk about how Shoelace went from a struggling SaaS product to a profitable agency almost overnight, why admitting reality saved the company, and how that experience directly led to Motion, a creative analytics platform built for the new era of advertising, where creative (not targeting) is the ultimate growth lever. Reza explains why the future belongs to creative strategists, leaders who combine left-brain data rigor with right-brain creativity, and why founders must solve the most urgent problems, not the safest ones.We also dive deep into AI-native leadership: how Reza uses AI to prototype ideas, scale the CEO role, rebuild a product from the core, and make bold decisions without hedging. If you're a founder navigating disruption, creative vs. data tension, or the pressure to reinvent your company before the market forces you to, this episode is for you.Reza Khadjavi Connect with me:My website: https://limitless.ceo/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/themarkmacleod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markmacleodcoach/

Send us a textA father that gives birth, a horse that says “no,” and an ER doctor who wants to keep you out of the hospital—this episode brings science and everyday choices into sharp focus. We start with a mind-bending dive into seahorses, where males carry the pregnancy and build a placenta-like environment from skin. New research shows familiar pregnancy genes at work inside the brood pouch, but with an unexpected hormonal switch: androgens, not estrogens, drive gestation. It's evolution repurposing its toolkit—and a powerful reminder that sex roles in nature are more flexible than we think.From there, we move into animal-assisted therapy and the role of consent in touch. A new study comparing dogs and horses found that forced interactions with horses raised heart rate and lowered HRV, signaling more stress, while choice calmed people down. Dogs showed no significant difference between conditions, suggesting human perception and species-specific behavior shape outcomes. If you run therapy programs, the insight is simple and humane: build animal choice into sessions, especially with horses, and track long-term welfare alongside human benefits.Then ER physician Dr. Shazma Mithani joins us to turn insight into prevention. We talk helmets for anything on wheels or snow, why e‑scooters drive more severe injuries per use than bikes, and how regular checkups and screening prevent emergencies before they start. We break down wildfire smoke—how particulates inflame lungs and harm the heart and brain—plus when to wear a well-fitted N95 outside and how to upgrade home air with MERV 11–13 filters or HEPA purifiers. Finally, we tackle measles: an airborne virus that lingers for hours, demands 95% vaccination for herd immunity, and is best stopped with two doses of MMR. Unsure where to get trusted answers?

Five Big Ideas from My Monthly Conversation with Jen RisleyIf you'd rather watch than read, the replay is right at the top of this post. If you did watch, think of this as the “take-home version”—the themes Jen and I kept circling, the “wait—say that again” moments, and a few lines worth underlining.We kicked off in full holiday spirit. Jen teased me for “dressing up for the gig,” and I confessed I'd spent “six months growing the beard for Christmas.”That's the vibe of these monthly conversations: friendly, real, and (we hope) useful.And we do this every month because we're deeply aligned. As I put it, we share “ambitions for the way capital can work in our society,” and we want readers to know what the other is doing.Jen edits The Main Street Journal; I publish Superpowers for Good. Different lenses, same mission: community investment, community ownership, and systems that serve people better.What follows are the five big ideas that stood out in this month's conversation—grounded in the articles we discussed, but centered on what we said to each other.1) Convenience can be expensive—and communities pay twiceWe opened with a topic that's quietly enormous: how public agencies buy everyday supplies.I mentioned that I'd seen Amazon marketing itself to schools and had been “consciously curious” about whether it was truly a better way than local bulk contracts.The answer, according to the reporting we discussed, is often no—because “dynamic pricing” can mean schools pay a premium for routine purchases. Jen broadened the frame immediately. It's not just schools; it's “cities, and other municipalities” too.She acknowledged why it happens—“It's easy to have your staff log onto Amazon and place all the orders”—and then landed the gut punch:“But if it's actually reducing your tax base and it's also costing you more, you really have to rethink that.”That tax-base point was the one I admitted I'd missed. It isn't only that public funds can be overspent; it's that those dollars aren't circulating locally with vendors “who would be paying some local taxes as well.”Jen also emphasized something I loved: this isn't just “here's the problem.” She pointed to the organizing work behind the scenes—the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and allied groups—and the move from awareness to action: “now they're putting out toolkits and things like that… how can we work collectively to change the policies in our schools and our local government?”That's the pattern to watch for again and again: when money leaks out of a community, the fix isn't only personal choices. It's governance—policy, procurement rules, and collective action.2) When “the good guys” get big, they can drift—and we can't ignore itNext, we turned to credit unions—an area that hit close to home for me. I shared that early in my career I worked on Capitol Hill on legislation that “governs credit unions to this day,” and I felt a little guilty seeing today's challenges play out.Jen didn't let me wallow. She laughed and put me on the “naughty list.” (Holiday-themed accountability—apparently a new tradition.)But the substance here matters. The problem we discussed isn't “credit unions are bad.” It's that some very large credit unions can start behaving like the institutions they were meant to be an alternative to—especially when scale and incentives change.Jen captured the emotional reality of it perfectly:“You wanna believe in something… ‘here's an institution I can believe in. A hundred percent.' And then… when it becomes bigger, it starts to lose that connection with the community.”That's not just true of credit unions. It's true of almost every institution that starts as mission-driven and ends up measured primarily by growth.And Jen went one step further: mission drift doesn't happen in a vacuum. It can shape what institutions support—or oppose—when new community-building tools appear.3) “Move your money” is about power, not purityJen shared something from her own annual rhythm that I think deserves to be a bigger part of more people's lives.“Every April… I do a move your money month,” she said, where the focus is “banking local and investing local.”That matters because “move your money” isn't a slogan. It's a strategy. It's how ordinary people regain leverage in systems that are designed to make us feel small.And then Jen told a story that connects directly to the credit-union conversation. Some groups approached her organization asking support for public banking. She did the homework—read widely, spoke with Michael Shuman—and her reaction was visceral: “wow, this looks incredible… what a great opportunity for our communities and our municipalities.”But then: “When I looked at our credit union bigger partners, they were against public banks.”And she admitted what many of us feel when we discover conflict inside “the good ecosystem”: “nothing is easy and nothing simple.”That line has been ringing in my ears.We want clean heroes and clean villains. But community economics is messier than that. Sometimes the institutions we trust most will resist the changes that would most empower communities—because those changes threaten their position.The takeaway isn't cynicism. The takeaway is clarity: follow the incentives, and keep building tools that keep power close to the people.4) Public banking isn't a fantasy—it's a practical “how do we pay for it?” answerOne of Jen's biggest highlights this month was a Main Street Journal piece aimed at New York City's mayor-elect—focused on a question every ambitious leader faces: how do you pay for big promises?Jen summarized the challenge: leaders talk about “free buses… affordable housing and all that great stuff,” and the immediate pushback is: “Are you gonna raise the taxes?”And then the pivot:“Why raise taxes? Why not start a public bank like the Bank of North Dakota?”Jen walked through the core logic: instead of parking public funds in the usual places, a city could create a public bank, place deposits in local banks and credit unions, and use the interest “to go into the economic development projects that they were really passionate about.”She also highlighted what I think is the most exciting civic-finance idea embedded in the conversation: a city making it easy for residents to see and support local investment options—“lists of local investment options… regulated crowdfunding that you could invest in,” plus incentives like “tax credits to people who are investing in locally owned businesses.”This is a bridge between our two worlds: Jen's focus on local economic ecosystems and my focus on regulated crowdfunding as a practical pathway to community ownership.If you're someone who wants to do more than “vote and hope,” this is a lane worth learning about.5) Climate solutions must scale—and communities shouldn't be steamrolledJen also brought up my rebroadcast interview with Project Drawdown's Jonathan Foley and the idea of “100 different climate solutions that we could all take on.”She liked that Foley can translate science into outreach—“so that people understand their choices make a huge impact.” I shared a core point from that conversation: “climate solutions have to scale, quickly” because “the problem is enormous.”And I noted a specific example—how conventional concrete “continues to emit carbon long after it's built,” while innovators are developing alternatives that can reverse the effect. But the most important part of our exchange wasn't the science—it was the ethics of deployment.I said that when we talk about scaling climate solutions, “we need to keep an eye on communities,” local and Indigenous, and “balance community interests” so projects don't harm people.Jen took that and sharpened it with today's political reality:“It's gonna be even more of a challenge now because… it's not being supported by our federal government. So it's gonna really be up to the local communities… Having these conversations is more important than ever.”And when I talked about the risk of plowing ahead too aggressively, Jen gave us the plainspoken guardrail: “Steamrolling over anybody.”That's the heart of it.Scaling climate solutions is not just a technical problem. It's a governance problem. An ownership problem. A trust problem. And that's why Jen and I keep coming back to community investment and community ownership: if projects are happening in a place, people in that place should have a path to participate, benefit, and shape what happens next.A moment of tenderness—and why it belongs in this conversationBefore we wrapped, I shared a Thanksgiving story that still has me a little misty: our grandson was fussy at dinner, nothing worked, and when I took a turn holding him, “he put his head on my shoulder and gave me a tight hug… and he was just at peace instantly.”Jen's response was exactly right: “My heart melted.”I told Jen I was “stretching the metaphor a little bit,” but the connection feels real to me: community investing can create genuine relationships in a way that conventional investing doesn't—investing in people you know, or get to know, and then doing business together in the same community.That's not just warm-and-fuzzy. It's an alternative economic operating system.One small (but meaningful) holiday requestJen made the best pitch of the whole conversation, and I'm going to happily borrow it:“If they have a long list for Santa, make sure that subscribing to Superpowers for Good is on that list… subscribing to both of our publications is just going to make more of an impact… and… we can learn together.”So yes—watch the replay if you haven't. Share it with someone who cares about community and fairness. And if you're able, subscribe to The Main Street Journal and Superpowers for Good.

This idea was central to my conversation with Justin Starbird, CEO of The Aebli Group, in today's episode. Justin highlighted that the real “silver bullet” for a successful crowdfunding campaign is the strength of an engaged community.“From our experience, a lot of times that secret weapon…is the community that they have amassed around their mission,” Justin explained. He emphasized that mission-driven companies often have an edge because their stories resonate deeply with their supporters, creating a foundation for passionate engagement.Justin shared how his team works with companies to authentically communicate their vision and values in ways that connect with people. “It's really important to be able to tell a story that's compelling, that's authentic, that's true to who they are,” he said.Justin and his team recently worked with Organic Transit, a company bringing back its innovative solar-electric bicycle, the ELF. The company's founder, Rob Cotter, turned to crowdfunding after a challenging bankruptcy. With The Aebli Group's help, Organic Transit is now raising funds on Wefunder to scale its ELF 3.0—a modernized, Eco-friendly version of its original product. Justin noted that the campaign's success is rooted in the loyal community Organic Transit had already built, which helped them pre-sell over 800 vehicles and log 10 million miles.Through storytelling, community engagement, and a focus on authenticity, Justin and his team enable mission-driven companies to thrive. “At the end of the day, it's still the mission, the vision, the goal of the company, and their authenticity,” he said.By building campaigns that connect with communities, Justin and The Aebli Group are transforming crowdfunding into a powerful tool for both raising capital and creating meaningful change.tl;dr:Today's episode explores how mission-driven storytelling creates community engagement for crowdfunding success.Guest Justin Starbird shares insights on building authentic marketing campaigns that resonate with investors.Justin describes working with Organic Transit to revive its solar-electric bicycle, the ELF 3.0.The Aebli Group uses authenticity to help startups foster trust and build meaningful connections.Justin's superpower, authenticity, is key to creating campaigns that leave lasting impacts.How to Develop Authenticity As a SuperpowerJustin's superpower is authenticity. He described it as being unafraid to share hard truths with clients and always striving to leave things better than he found them. “What I try to do is…bring that authenticity to our clients in everything that we do,” he explained. Justin emphasized that authenticity fosters trust, builds communities, and ensures long-term success for businesses.Justin shared a personal analogy to explain his approach to authenticity. He recalled hiring a yard-cleaning service and finding a Coke can left in the brush after they finished. Though small, the oversight eroded his confidence in the team's attention to detail. That lesson shaped Justin's ethos at The Aebli Group: always go the extra mile. By doing the “small things” right, like addressing potential blind spots, his team ensures their campaigns resonate with clients and communities.Tips for Developing Authenticity as a Strength:Be Vulnerable: Acknowledge weaknesses and lean into them to foster genuine connections.Address Blind Spots: Identify potential risks or challenges and confront them openly.Focus on Community: Build trust by staying true to your values and mission.Always Go the Extra Mile: Pay attention to small details that demonstrate care and commitment.By following Justin's example and advice, you can make authenticity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

So many creative entrepreneurs think they need to leave their "serious" professional self behind. That corporate background, that legal career... they see it as separate from who they are now. But that might be costing you your most distinctive positioning. The parts of yourself that feel contradictory? Those might just be your superpower. The creative entrepreneurs I see thriving are the ones who've brought their whole selves forward. That's what creates a business no one else can replicate. In this episode, I share how your previous career isn't something to hide, it's an integral part of what makes you exceptional. From my own journey in executive search to stories from recent Base Notes participants, I explore why integration beats separation every time.   Key Moments: [00:00] Introduction: Why your "serious" background is actually your superpower [03:25] The false choice: Treating previous careers as separate from creative work [04:59] My executive search background and how it shapes everything I do today [09:22] Real transformation: The strategist who blended high-level work with gentle creativity. The lawyer who brought precision thinking into creative copywriting [14:34] The Pattern I keep seeing [18:02] How professional backgrounds create genuinely unique positioning [26:30] The takeaway: Your contradiction is your competitive advantage, bringing your whole self forward   Notable Quotes: "You don't have two separate lives. You have one remarkable journey and a bucket load of brilliant experience, where you've been building an extraordinary and unique skill set. And when you bring all of that forwards, when you integrate rather than separate, that's when you become genuinely unstoppable."   Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's Full Journal Post Link: The Base Notes Waitlist Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com    Share Your Insights: Have you been treating your professional background as something separate from your creative business?

“I enjoy bringing joy for us all.” That's how Erika Monaé Lewis — founder of The EMG Network and creator of Networking on Purpose — explains the spark that's been in her since childhood. In this Detroit is Different conversation, Erika unpacks how growing up on the East Side near the old city airport, running the block with friends, and soaking in the wisdom of the neighborhood shaped her gift for connection. “I want to see you win. I want to see you grow,” she says, tracing her journey from DSA drama major and pomerette to HR leader refusing to “sign off on injustice,” to a coach teaching professionals how to turn relationships into results. Erika breaks down why networking isn't small talk — it's self-leadership, imagination, and joy rooted in legacy Black Detroit culture. From migration stories out of Olive Branch, Mississippi to the discipline it takes to step fully into entrepreneurship, Erika reminds us that “failure is never final,” and that authentic relationships are a form of wealth our grandparents modeled long before LinkedIn. This episode is a bridge — from the past practices that kept Black Detroit alive to the future strategies that will keep us connected, empowered, and winning together.

I've been holding this one close. There's something I lean on every single day — in the good, the hard, the messy, the incredible. It's the thing that steadies me, fuels me, and reminds me who I am! But I will say this: everything that's ever happened in my life — every win, every lesson, every detour — helped shape me. I give thanks for all of it. It's part of my journey, part of my becoming.One of my favorite habits? Starting and ending every day with the song Count Your Blessings.. It shifts me. It puts me exactly where I need to be. And before I talk to anyone, I bless them, I pray over them, I send them love — because that's how I move through this world.Because the world needs you. I'm grateful for everything — and I want you to be too! 

Avi Loeb (Frank B. Baird, Jr., Professor of Science, Harvard University) joins Chris Cuomo to break down why the interstellar object 3I Atlas challenges what we think we know about space, evidence, and scientific certainty. Loeb explains what makes this visitor unusual, why early observations don't fit the standard “it's just a comet” answer, and why the scientific community keeps shutting down possibilities before the data is even in. Cuomo and Loeb dig into the limits of government transparency on UAPs, the role of Loeb's Galileo Project in gathering independent evidence, and why scientific gatekeeping and political fear stop the public from seeing the full picture. They also explore why discovery demands humility, what the next phase of observation could reveal, and how accepting uncertainty is the only way to understand what might actually be moving through our skies.

You've solved other problems in the past. You can solve this one.Millions of people worldwide face the devastating impact of cancer, with countless lives lost each year to tumors that no longer respond to existing treatments. Dr. Dale Walker, Co-founder and CEO of The Burlington HC Research Group (BHCRG), is working to change that narrative with her groundbreaking development of a new family of anti-cancer drugs. These drugs have the potential to revolutionize treatment for cancers that have become resistant to current therapies.“We tested our drugs against 15 human cancer cell lines, representative of seven different tissues, and the drug works against all of them,” Dale explained. In the U.S. alone, over 600,000 people die annually from cancer, often because their tumors no longer respond to treatment. Dale's research offers a glimmer of hope for patients and their families.Unlike traditional drug development that focuses on a single compound, Dale and her team have created a family of drugs—called BRG drugs—by combining two FDA-approved ingredients in a novel way. These drugs not only enhance the effectiveness of existing cancer treatments but also demonstrate the ability to kill nearly all cancer cells after a single dose in preclinical studies. “Most anti-cancer agents just slow tumor growth. Ours hit both marks—killing tumor cells at a safe dose level,” she said.With such promising results, Dale and her husband Vernon, who co-leads the research, are pushing forward. However, taking these drugs through the necessary safety and efficacy tests requires significant funding. To accelerate progress, BHCRG is raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on the FundingHope platform. Crowdfunding offers a faster alternative to traditional funding sources, enabling the Walkers to bypass lengthy government grant timelines.“Crowdfunding is a lifeline. We have family members and friends with cancer. We can't wait years,” Dale shared. For investors, the opportunity to back a potential game-changing cancer therapy is compelling, both for its societal impact and long-term financial potential.Dale's passion and perseverance shine through in her work. Her innovative approach to drug development could save countless lives. Supporting her mission on Funding Hope isn't just an investment in a company—it's an investment in hope.tl;dr:Dale Walker shares her innovative work on new anti-cancer drugs targeting resistant tumors.BHCRG's BRG drugs show promising preclinical results, killing almost all tumor cells with one dose.Dale explains crowdfunding's role in accelerating drug development for life-saving cancer treatments.She discusses perseverance as her superpower, solving challenges by embracing and examining problems.Today's episode highlights how crowdfunding enables investors to support impactful innovations in healthcare.How to Develop Perseverance in Problem-Solving As a SuperpowerDale's superpower is her extraordinary ability to solve complex problems and persevere through challenges. In today's episode, she explained, “When I run into a problem, the first thing I have to do is tell myself, don't be afraid. You've solved other problems in the past. You can solve this one.” Dale emphasized that problems often contain valuable information that leads to solutions, encouraging others to examine challenges closely rather than avoiding them.After discovering that an FDA-approved drug had antiviral activity, Dale faced a seemingly insurmountable challenge: making the drug work effectively in people. “I thought, I will not be able to solve this problem. It's too hard,” she admitted. Yet, she persevered, combining the drug with another FDA-approved ingredient. This breakthrough created the BRG family of cancer drugs, which kill nearly all cancer cells in preclinical studies after a single dose. Her ability to persist through doubt and difficulty exemplifies her superpower.Tips for Developing Perseverance in Problem-Solving:Acknowledge Your Strengths: Remind yourself that you've solved tough problems before and can do it again.Examine Problems Closely: Instead of avoiding challenges, look for clues within the problem itself to guide solutions.Break Down the Problem: Address each component of the challenge one step at a time.Stay Focused: Resist the urge to pivot too quickly; often, solutions lie in persistence.Find Inspiration: Remember the impact your work can have on others to stay motivated.By following Dale's example and advice, you can make perseverance in problem-solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDale M. Walker (she/her):Co-founder, owner, and Chief Executive Officer, The Burlington HC Research Group, Inc. (BHCRG)About The Burlington HC Research Group, Inc. (BHCRG): BHCRG is working to advance a new family of investigational drugs called BRG Therapeutics. Based on pre-clinical studies, two members of this family show potent anticancer activity across human cancer cell lines representing seven different tissues of origin, including lung cancer (four subtypes), prostate cancer (three types), triple-negative breast cancer (two types), ovarian cancer (two types), pancreatic cancer (one type), pleural mesothelioma (two types), and pre-myeloblastic leukemia (one type, tested with a single BRG drug). In tissue-culture models, BRG drugs demonstrate an unusually strong ability to eliminate nearly all cancer cells after a single dose while achieving this result at doses that are non-toxic to normal human cells. Each BRG drug delivers two active ingredients, and the primary component (ingredient #1) also inhibits the replication of viruses spanning all three major viral genome classes—DNA viruses, RNA viruses, and reverse-transcribing/retroviruses—with activity shown in vitro against influenza, COVID-19, HIV, and Ebola and other viruses. Although such breadth is uncommon and has led some observers to believe no drug could achieve these effects, the evidence shows that the human body naturally produces several essential compounds with similarly broad anticancer and antiviral functions; BRG drugs work through analogous biochemical mechanisms but produce stronger effects in controlled laboratory studies. These naturally occurring comparators include N-acetylcysteine, glutathione, and vitamin C (only at pharmacologic doses). Taken together, BRG Therapeutics represents a next-generation, multi-targeted approach designed to overcome one of the central limitations of modern oncology—drug resistance—by restoring normal cellular regulation, reactivating p53, correcting redox imbalance, and neutralizing reactive species to selectively eliminate cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue.Website: bhcrg.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584197824692Other URL: invest.fundinghope.com/offering/brg/detailsBiographical Information: My husband Vernon and I work together as a team, and we have advanced BRG therapeutics to their present state of development by collaboration. We both are veterinarians with advanced training in pathology, so that make us ‘veterinary pathologists'. Vernon also has a PhD in experimental and molecular pathology. What many people do not know is that veterinary pathologists have key roles in drug development and safety testing. Before the discovery of the BRG drugs, most of our work focused on health risks from human exposures to environmental, workplace, or medicinal agents/compounds. We were working with BRG active ingredient #1, which is FDA-approved as the active form of a cell protective drug – that means that it protects normal cells from the damaging effects of radiation and some chemicals. We were testing the ability of this agent to protect normal cells from the deleterious effects of some of the first drugs like AZT developed to treat HIV. We were surprised to learn that this cell protective drug had antiviral activity all on its own. Even though this active ingredient had been around for several decades, no one had ever reported these results before we did. We soon learned why we were the first to make this discovery - the active ingredient of this cell protective drug worked well in tissue culture as an antiviral agent, but antiviral effects were not achieved in living animals. This sent us on a long road figuring out why this was – after all, this agent worked to protect normal cells in living animals and people, so why would it not work as an antiviral agent in the same animals and people? It actually took several years to understand the nature of the problems, and even more time to figure out a solution. That solution was the BRG therapeutics.Vernon and I had little experience studying viruses, and much more experience studying cancer and anticancer drugs, and we knew that this active ingredient had anticancer activity, so we decided to start with testing a BRG drug as an anticancer agent. Our first experiment in a human, pre-myeloblastic leukemia cell line showed us anticancer effects beyond anything that we could have imagined. We were so excited, but we still had a long journey of work and discovery ahead of us. To date we have tested two BRG drugs and they kill cancer cells in all human cancer cell lines tested to date (one drug tested in 15 human cancers, the other tested in 14). A paper summarizing these results was published in 2023.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/dale-m-walker-bhcrgPersonal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556212335476Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

The Failure of the Hittite Empire: Colleague Eric Cline examines the Hittites, classified as the major failures of the era, explaining that this superpower controlling Anatolia and rivaling Egypt collapsed due to a "perfect storm" of drought, plague, and poor leadership, with their capital Hattusa destroyed and abandoned; however, "Neo-Hittite" rump states in northern Syria such as Carchemish survived as trading hubs for centuries before eventually facing aggression from the rising Neo-Assyrian empire.

In this episode, Chris and Kevin dig into one simple, but powerful habit for lowering stress and thinking more clearly: speaking your thoughts out loud or writing them down.While breaking down why talking out loud or writing your thoughts is one of the simplest ways to regulate stress. They explore:-How naming emotions activates the prefrontal cortex and quiets the stress response-Why unspoken problems drain mental energy and keep your brain in “swirl mode”-How externalizing thoughts creates clarity and frees up cognitive load-A comparison to the double-slit experiment: unspoken problems = probability cloud; speaking/writing = collapsing it into focus-How this process returns you to awareness, reminding you that you're not your problem, you're the observer of your problemAs always, they end the episode with a practical tool you can use right away to start applying this into your life.

Step inside one of the most legendary — and misunderstood — eras in American crime history. For the first time ever, Whitey Sullivan, the right-hand man to Washington D.C.'s infamous drug lord Rayful Edmond, sits down on camera to finally set the record straight. Whitey was there for all of it — from Rayful becoming a teenage millionaire valedictorian and star basketball player… to building a cocaine pipeline from Los Angeles to D.C.… to overseeing multi-ton shipments every single week. He counted the money, managed the crews, and stood beside Rayful during the DEA's most dramatic kingpin takedown of the 1980s. His power, influence, and empire continued to shock law enforcement for decades. Today, Whitey is breaking decades of silence to reveal: - How Rayful became the most successful urban drug dealer of his generation - The violence, rules, loyalty — and mythology — of D.C.'s streets - The truth about the federal case, the media, and the betrayals - Rayful's plan to go legit… and why nobody truly walks away - Never-before-told stories of wealth, danger & survival This is the raw, unfiltered story the streets still whisper about — straight from the only man qualified to tell it.

Join Andrea Samadi as she reviews Dr. Shane Creado's insights on why sleep is a core pillar of brain health, how chronic sleep deprivation harms reaction time, inflammation, pain perception, and why children pay the highest price. Learn practical sleep strategies—consistent schedules, light management, wind-down routines—and how the Silva Method's mind-training can deepen restorative sleep for athletes, high performers, and families. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. This week, we move onto PART 2 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. Today, PART 2 we will continue with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). PART 3, next week, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Just a reminder: Dr. Creado is a double board-certified sleep medicine doctor and psychiatrist who practices functional sleep medicine, integrative psychiatry, and sports psychiatry. He brings all of these specialties together to uncover the underlying factors that sabotage our sleep and then treats them comprehensively, helping people to achieve their health and performance goals with sleep at the forefront As we work through our reviews, we will spend a considerable amount of time on this important health staple that's scientifically proven to boost our physical and mental health. For today's EP 379, and PART 2 of our review of our 2020 interview with Dr. Shane Creado, we will cover: ✔ Sleep as a core pillar of health according to Dr. Shane Creado, author of Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes. ✔ Sleep deprivation is a national crisis and kid's pay the highest price. ✔ 7 Well-Known Tips for Improving Sleep ✔ Applying the Silva Method to Reset and Improve Our Sleep ✔ Important sleep tips for athletes and high performers   Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep. CLIP 1 — Why Sleep Is Non-Negotiable for Brain Health Short Explanation: In Clip 1, Dr. Shane Creado explains that sleep is a foundational pillar of brain health, equal in importance to exercise and nutrition. He emphasizes that without optimizing sleep, it is impossible to truly optimize learning, emotional regulation, focus, or performance. Dr. Creado highlights that chronic sleep deprivation is widespread in the U.S., often unnoticed, and especially damaging for children—where lack of deep sleep suppresses growth hormone, increases obesity risk, and raises the likelihood of developing mental-health challenges later in life. His message is clear: when sleep improves, the entire “fabric” of life and health begins to change. VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch In our next video clip from Dr. Creado, I ask him to dive deeper into optimizing our brain health with a quote from his book that reads “your brain health and sports performance cannot be optimized unless your sleep is optimized. And once this is achieved your quality of life will skyrocket. When you sleep well, the fabric of your life will change. And when this happens, it will have a ripple effect.” This sounds like a simple concept, but for those of us who have been working on improving this pillar, we know it's one of those concepts that easier said, than done. Let's hear Dr. Creado's thoughts on my question- And Dr. Creado replied that “sleep is one of the pillars of brain health along with exercise and nutrition. And we need to make sure we're getting the right amount of sleep. Most adults and most teenagers don't know about this but a vast majority, 70 million Americans suffer from a sleep problem. And way more than those suffer from sleep deprivation, chronic sleep deprivation. If a child is deprived of sleep, their growth hormone levels will be suppressed because deep sleep is where growth hormone levels peak, so basically you are going to be stunting your growth. Over 80% of kids who are sleep deprived go on to develop obesity. There's a huge overlap between kids who are chronically sleep deprived who manifest mental health conditions later in life.”

How Childhood Trauma Secretly Fuels Your Success… and How to Turn It Into Real Power (with Michael Shaw) Most high-achieving leaders are running on hidden trauma. It drives them to win — but it also burns them out, leaves them empty, and creates a "hero complex" that keeps them addicted to saving everyone. In this raw episode, Michael Shaw (founder of Mastery Mindset Library) reveals how he survived a violent childhood and his father's suicide, then spent 30 years turning that pain into a repeatable system that top entrepreneurs and executives now use to build unbreakable emotional fitness. You'll discover: - Why "invincible leader" is the fastest path to burnout - The 4-Pillar Framework: Awareness → Rewiring → Alignment → Activation - How to know if your success is fear-based (most leaders have no idea) - The "What story am I telling myself?" technique to reframe any crisis in seconds - How to create "I Am Declarations" that permanently shift your leadership identity - Why emotional fitness > revenue when it comes to sustainable success If you've ever felt "successful on paper but broken inside," this conversation will change everything.

Send us a textCoffee may nudge biology, but only within limits. We dig into new research suggesting that three to four cups a day align with longer telomeres for people with severe mental illness, then challenge the hype with the caveats that matter: observational design, smoking as a confounder, wildly different cup sizes and brew methods, and the reality that more caffeine can erase potential benefits. We translate the science into practical guidance—why moderation beats megadoses, how 400 mg per day became a sensible upper bound, and where sleep and stress fit into the bigger picture of healthy aging.Then we pivot to a feline mystery that spans millennia. Long before house cats padded through Chinese homes, leopard cats were the stealthy mousers around early settlements, drawn by grain and the rodents it attracts. Using mitochondrial DNA from ancient remains—paired with clues from art—we trace the species shift around the eighth century as domestic cats, descended from the African wildcat, traveled the Silk Road and found their place beside people. Tameness, tolerance, and a knack for living close to humans helped them outcompete their wild cousins in a world reshaped by trade and urban life.Across both stories runs one thread: human routines create niches that biology rushes to fill. Our cups change our days at a cellular level, and our granaries and roads alter which animals share our spaces.
