 Last year, when Kaarin Knudson became the mayor of Oregon’s third-largest city, her plan was to revitalize downtown Eugene, build more housing and shrink the city’s roughly $10 million budget gap for the 2025-2027 biennium.    The goalposts haven’t shifted much, except now there’s a growing problem. Knudson says many of her constituents are concerned about federal law enforcement in their communities, especially after a surge in Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity across Oregon last fall.    Now, Knudson’s mayorship has turned into a balancing act: tackling housing supply, transportation infrastructure and public safety, all with the city’s eyes on Knudson and her office as they navigate ongoing federal uncertainty.    Mayor Knudson joins us to reflect on her first year in office and share how she’s thinking about the road ahead

In the latest episode of The Health Literacy 2.0 Podcast, host Seth Serxner welcomes Maddison Bezdicek, VP of Strategic Vendor Services at Captive Resources, for a deep dive into the evolving challenges - and opportunities - employers face in workforce health literacy, cost control, and benefit strategy.Maddison brings a decade-plus of experience in health strategy leadership across insurance brokerage, carrier consulting, and now the captive space, where groups of employers join forces to manage healthcare risk and costs together. With a foundation in exercise science and hands-on knowledge from both the vendor and employer sides, Maddison specializes in forging partnerships and guiding organizations through the complexities of benefits, wellness, vendor selection, and data-driven decision-making.Seth and Maddison explore:Unpacking Group Captives: How employer collectives are creating greater purchasing power and shared strategies for better healthcare cost management.Managing Rising Health Costs: Why skyrocketing benefits spending is a top pain point—and how employers are seeking stability before focusing on employee wellness interventions.Pharmacy as a Cost Driver: Tackling the often-overlooked impact of pharmacy spend (up to 50% of total healthcare costs) through smarter PBM relationships and contracts.Data-Driven Decisions: The shift from limited claims data to deeper analytics - enabling tailored interventions and more effective vendor partnerships.Point Solution Fatigue: The reality of too many health and wellness programs - and how narrowing focus and improving communication is driving better employee engagement.Reframing Engagement Metrics: Moving from utilization rates to targeting the right populations, and the rise of outcome-based (“case unit”) pricing models for vendors.Digital Health's Double-Edged Sword: Opportunities and challenges in leveraging digital platforms for engagement, including the importance of understanding and respecting different employee populations.The Health Literacy Imperative: The growing employer interest—if not frustration—around empowering employees to better navigate healthcare, and why education often remains a tough nut to crack at scale.Responsible Use of AI: Balancing back-end administrative efficiency with the irreplaceable value of human connection, especially in sensitive health scenarios.With practical perspectives on everything from vendor evaluation to the human experience behind benefit designs, this episode reminds us that while technology and strategy are vital, it's the employee's real-world journey that should remain front and center.Learn About EdLogicsWant to see how EdLogics' gamified platform can boost health literacy, drive engagement in health and wellness programs, and help people live happier, healthier lives?Visit the EdLogics website: www.edlogics.com.

Our understanding is that the companies can recover the money deferred starting in April, when gas heating bills typically drop...Boston Globe business reporter Jon Chesto joined us to explain and discuss in greater detail.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here in Canada, we have a food security crisis—and a cost-of-living crisis. While there are many, many factors that are shaping this continued issue across the country, one of the challenges of navigating food insecurity here is that we rely primarily on non-profit food banks to support those in need. One non-profit food organization in Toronto, Daily Bread, is on a mission to eliminate food insecurity and advocate for solutions to end poverty. Daily Bread prepares over 250,000 meals annually, including more than 43,000 heat-and-eat meals delivered through the Red Cross Mobile Food bank to individuals facing barriers like mobility challenges, inadequate housing, or mental health conditions that make traditional food access difficult.  In 2024, Toronto food bank visits hit an all time high of 4.1 million, and Toronto declared a state of emergency about food insecurity. In response, Daily Bread has seen their visits increase, with their Food Services Manager Michael Greenberg overseeing a kitchen that produced more than 270,000 meals between 2024-2025. Mike is on the show today to speak about the work he and his team do at Daily Bread to ensure that their food bank kitchen can logistically maintain itself with such high demands, the nutritional and social impact of food insecurity for clients who cannot prepare their own meals, and the vital role food banks play in advancing equity and dignity in food access.

Most leaders assume AI and search already see the whole internet. In reality, they all operate on the same tiny slice of the web.In this episode of IT Visionaries, host Chris Brandt sits down with Sudheesh Nair, Co-Founder and CEO of TinyFish and former CEO of ThoughtSpot, to unpack why only a small percentage of the web is indexable and how that cripples enterprise AI.Sudheesh explains why the next breakthrough won't come from bigger models or better search, but from agents that can operate the web at scale, logging in, filling forms, running workflows, and surfacing the long tail of opportunities that never appear on page one.
