Welcome to the very first video episode of Rx for Success! After nine years as an audio-only podcast, host Dr. Randy Cook is thrilled to launch the videocast format with two extraordinary guests: Shayan Mashatian, a serial entrepreneur and technologist, and Dr. Desmond Bell, a podiatrist, limb preservation advocate, and president of WoundScribe AI. Together, they share the fascinating origin story of WoundScribe AI and its patient-facing companion app, Pingoo. Shayan takes us on his remarkable journey from Iran—where he helped establish the first internet node in the country—to Canada, the U.S., and eventually into the world of health tech. Dr. Bell explains how this AI-powered platform is revolutionizing wound care by combining ambient listening, automated wound measurement, clinical decision support, and micro-learning for patients. The result? A tool that saves clinicians hours of documentation time, empowers patients through education, and creates a learning health system that gets smarter with every use. Key Topics Discussed: Shayan's journey from Iran to the West: launching the first internet node in Iran, the decision to emigrate, and adapting to new cultures. What it means to be a "technologist with a passion for social innovation"—and why technology is just a tool for change. The inspiration behind Pingoo: Duolingo-style micro-learning applied to health education, gamification, and daily engagement. The shocking statistic: every 20 seconds, someone loses a leg to diabetic foot ulcers—and 85% are preventable with education. How WoundScribe evolved from Pingoo to a comprehensive AI platform for clinicians. The three core problems WoundScribe solves: documentation burden, wound measurement inconsistency, and clinical decision support. Why predicting treatment response (like hyperbaric oxygen therapy) is the "juice" of clinical decision support. How generative AI and continuous learning create a system that improves with every patient interaction. The "dirty secret" of wound care: no formal training pathway exists—most clinicians learn on the job. Shayan's three prescriptions for success: volunteer work, adaptability, and resilience.

If you're trying to implement AI in your business, the best advice might sound counterintuitive: start small, think big AI. Most companies rush into AI expecting transformation, but without the right foundation, they end up accelerating broken processes instead of improving them. Why AI Fails Without a Foundation There's a growing pressure on organizations to adopt AI quickly—but most aren't ready. Most mid-market companies: Don't have documented processes Store data in scattered systems Lack of clarity in workflows Trying to implement a start small, think big AI strategy without fixing these issues leads to failure. AI doesn't create clarity. It amplifies whatever already exists—good or bad. How Start Small Think Big AI Actually Works The phrase start small, think big AI isn't just a mindset—it's a strategy. Instead of trying to automate everything: Start with one process Improve it incrementally Learn what works Expand from there This avoids the common mistake of trying to "AI everything" at once. AI Depends on Your Domain Expertise One of the most overlooked truths: You are already the AI expert in your domain. Whether you're in: Logistics Construction Operations Your knowledge provides the context AI needs. A start small, think big AI approach works because it leverages what you already know instead of replacing it. The value isn't in the AI tool—it's in the context you provide. Why Start Small Think Big AI Requires a Mindset Shift Traditional IT thinking: Hire experts Deliver solutions Move on AI changes this completely. With a start small think big AI mindset: Business users provide insight Technologists guide implementation Solutions evolve iteratively This is a shift from solution-first to problem-first thinking. Empathy: The Hidden Skill Behind Start Small Think Big AI The most important skill in AI adoption isn't coding—it's understanding. To succeed, you must: Identify real pain points Listen to users Understand workflows This is why modern technologists are becoming business analysts. If you don't understand the problem, AI won't give you the right answer. Start Small Think Big AI in the "AOL Era" of Technology We're still early. As described in the episode: "We're in the AOL days of AI." That means: Tools are immature Standards are evolving Opportunities are massive A good AI strategy positions you to grow as the technology matures. Conclusion The companies that win with AI won't be the ones who move fastest—they'll be the ones who build correctly. By following a start small, think big AI approach, you: Reduce risk Build momentum Create scalable systems Takeaway: Don't try to transform everything with AI. Start small, think big, and build forward. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

​​After a short break, Peak Human returns with a powerful conversation about one of the biggest problems in modern healthcare: the sick care system. For decades, the system has been structured around treating illness rather than maintaining health. Incentives are misaligned across the entire industry—from insurance companies and employers to doctors and digital health startups. Despite technological advances, healthcare costs continue rising while population health declines. In this episode, Anil, a scientist, investor, and systems thinker, introduces a bold alternative: the Lifespan Model. Drawing on experience in biotechnology, Silicon Valley startups, digital health investing, and incentive design, Anil explains how healthcare could be rebuilt around the simple idea that people should be rewarded for keeping others healthy. Instead of replacing the current system overnight, the Lifespan Model proposes a parallel structure—one that aligns financial incentives with longevity, prevention, and long-term wellbeing. If implemented, this model could transform healthcare from a trillion-dollar illness industry into a system that actually rewards health.   SHOW NOTES: 00:00 – Peak Human Returns & Show Updates 04:30 – Anil's Background in Science and Startups 08:30 – Systems Thinking and Incentive Design 10:30 – Why the Healthcare System Is Broken 14:30 – The Incentive Problem in Medicine 17:00 – Employer-Based Health Insurance Issues 19:00 – Why Digital Health Hasn't Fixed Healthcare 21:00 – The Technologist's Journey Through Healthcare 23:30 – How Incentives Shape Entire Systems 26:00 – Introducing the Lifespan Model 29:30 – Learning From the Life Insurance Industry 33:00 – Aligning Financial Incentives With Health 36:30 – The Role of Lifespan Agents 40:00 – Technology's Role in Preventive Health 43:00 – Building a Parallel Health System 47:00 – Challenges to Implementing the Model 51:00 – The Future of Healthcare Incentives   BEEF TALLOW PRODUCTS: NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post    Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies   Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg

Episode: 00308 Released on March 2, 2026 Description:  Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how crime analysts work, but many analysts are still unsure where it truly fits in their role. In this episode, Christopher Cruz returns to Analyst Talk with Jason Elder to discuss AI's real impact on law enforcement analysis, the concept of the analyst as a technologist, and why AI should be viewed as a tool for efficiency rather than replacement. The conversation explores data cleaning automation, report generation, custom large language models, trust and verification, and how agencies are cautiously piloting AI solutions. Chris also shares insights on staffing gaps, vendor-driven AI deployments, and why analysts who learn to leverage AI will free up time for deeper analytical work instead of clerical tasks.

In this episode of the FINITE Podcast, Jodi sits down with the brilliant Dario Debarbieri, CMO at HCL Software. With a career at the intersection of marketing and AI, Dario offers a candid look at the Intelligence Economy and what it means for the modern B2B marketer.We explore a world where artificial intelligence interacts with audiences in real-time, reading the sentiment of minute digital movements to deliver personalized content in exactly the right context. Dario explains why the traditional 4 Ps of strategy may now matter less than your data quality, and why marketers must evolve from artists into engineers to survive.Key topics covered in this episode include:The Intelligence Economy: Why data is the new oil and how to use the right tools to extract and refine it.Marketers as Engineers: How the role of the marketer is shifting toward technical precision and data science.Context is King: Moving beyond simple demographics to understand the situational context of your buyer.The Ethics of AI: Navigating the fine line between helpful personalization and creepy intrusion (e.g., following a customer to their Alexa at bedtime).Listen to the full episode to hear how hyper-personalization is setting companies apart and how you can prepare for a future where AI is the norm.

Send a textWant to see your PDFs think like a database and your chatbots answer with context, not guesses? We sit down with technologist and entrepreneur Max Riggsbee Jr., co-founder of Gadget Software, to unpack how compute-ready documents—what he calls semantic twins—turn unstructured content into structured, queryable knowledge that both humans and machines can trust. Max explains why simply chunking PDFs into a chatbot loses meaning, and how deep descriptors, QA pairs, and entity maps let you navigate ideas, not just pages.We go inside directed AI, where you choose the exact slices of content a model can touch, then generate summaries, outlines, or tables grounded in that selection. Max shares results from work with Signal65, Dell, and Broadcom showing fewer hallucinations, faster token throughput, and better energy use when AI is fed structured, contextual data. From there, we get practical about agentic workflows: the validator checks you need before any output ships downstream, and why human-in-the-loop review still matters. Max's “Georgia” test—person, state, country, or font—reveals how ambiguity explodes without metadata. He also breaks down a real failure in a political cartoon pipeline where an agent inferred a story from SEO slugs instead of reading the article, and how guardrails caught it.Our conversation widens to legacy and Black history. Grant traces family records from enslavement to land ownership, underscoring how caricatures like Jim Crow distort truth when they calcify into the story we're told. Maxwell introduces Then Is Now, the audio diary project he runs with his 90-year-old father, using authentic voice recordings and AI to frame the surrounding historical context. We talk about scanning non-digital originals like the Pentagon Papers as a stepping stone to microfiche, county archives, and the overlooked documents that can restore names, places, and property to the record. On the technical edge, Max shows how rich textual descriptions can stand in for heavy images, enabling vision models to re-render diagrams on demand, making insights lighter and more scalable.If you work with unstructured data, lead AI projects, or care about preserving the story with accuracy, this conversation gives you a roadmap: structure your sources, validate your agents, and keep humans in charge of meaning.

The Trump administration launched a new governmentwide hiring program Monday aimed at filling technology hiring gaps in federal agencies with workers who will serve in two-year stints. That program, dubbed the U.S. Tech Force, is being spearheaded by the Office of Personnel Management and has buy-in from private-sector tech companies that will serve as partners in the hiring initiative.The first cohort of recruits will be roughly 1,000 individuals who will range from early-career data scientists and engineers to engineering managers from the private sector. According to a release from OPM, their mission will be to accelerate AI adoption in government and fulfill a priority of the Trump administration. On a call with reporters Monday, OPM Director Scott Kupor said the goal of the program isn't to get workers to commit to “a 40-year career in federal government.” While that's welcome, he said, the aim is to “get the benefit of really smart people working on some of the world's most complex and difficult problems” and provide them with an opportunity, if they so choose, to then go work in the private sector. More than two dozen technology companies have already agreed to Tech Force partnerships, including Amazon Web Services, Meta, Microsoft, xAI, Anduril, Nvidia, Oracle, Adobe and ServiceNow. Those companies have not made firm agreements to hire program alumni but can do so in line with their needs, Kupor said. The commitment that OPM has made to those partners, he said, is “to do a great job of recruiting fantastic people.” The White House and Office of Personnel Management shared more details last Wednesday about the effort to transition federal government HR platforms to a single system, outlining a timeline and expectations. In a memo to agency leaders, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought and OPM Director Scott Kupor said the transition portion of the administration's “Federal HR 2.0” project will take place over the next two years, with some agencies coming online earlier than others. Agencies must also stop current projects related to their current systems unless they have an exception. Kupor said in an emailed statement with the memo: “For too long, taxpayers have footed the bill for duplicative HR systems that no modern organization would tolerate. Today's announcement is a major win for efficiency, accountability, and good government.” The memo is the latest action in the Trump administration's push to centralize HR systems as a way of saving money. Per the document, the government currently has more than 100 “core human capital management” systems, and the administration expects that consolidating those systems — as well as HR services — will save billions.

Erie Meyer, Senior Fellow at Georgetown Law's Institute for Technology Law & Policy and Senior Fellow at the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator, and Laura Edelson, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Northeastern University, who are coauthors of the recent toolkit, “Working with Technologists: Recommendations for State Enforcers and Regulators,” join Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss how state enforcers and regulators can hire and better work with technologists, what technologists are and are not best-suited to help with, and what roles technologists can play across the different phases of enforcer and regulator casework. They also discuss how to best attract technologists to enforcement and regulation jobs; tips for technologists seeking to better communicate with those lawyers, compliance experts, and others in government with less technology background; and how this all fits into the future of AI, technology, and state and broader regulation.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

This week, we’ll hear from three seasoned leaders from Cedarville University—Dr. Michael Sherr, Dr. Jason Lee, and Dr. Angelia Mickle—who bring together decades of experience in social work, theology, and nursing. United by a shared passion for equipping healthcare professionals, they explore how we can find renewed strength under tremendous pressures by bridging the gap between faith and health. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Dr. Drew Dickens, a technologist and storyteller exploring where faith, identity, and innovation meet. As host of the Encountering Peace and AI and Spirituality podcasts, he brings deep insight into how emerging technology is reshaping the way we think, connect, and seek meaning.

But also a sense of longevity, because all these things are done not just in the moment and for immediate success or healing or any treatment, but ultimately for the glory of God.” - Dr. Jason Lee “The purpose of us being here is to comfort people and to help them in their time of vulnerability, or if they’re hurt and suffering, and just love them unconditionally—the way that Jesus would.” - Angelia Mickle “If we have Jesus in our heart, the joy is going to show. Jesus is love, and we’re going to reflect Christ, so we’re going to reflect love.” - Dr. Angelia Mickle “[AI] is still casually dismissed right now, and that’s concerning to me because we’re dealing with issues of identity, we’re dealing with issues of inspiration.” - Dr. Drew Dickens “Prayer requires effort, and we need to remember that communicating with the Creator and Sustainer of this vast universe is an amazing privilege.” - Dr. Drew Dickens “We need to have these conversations on the effects of [AI] in the pews, on families and relationships—the effects it’s going to have on community, on communion, on what it means to gather together, or just to re-engage with a physical moment of intimacy with God.” - Dr. Drew Dickens “We’re not to be a people of fear, but of hope. So we can be intentional, we can find ways to engage with AI in a redemptive way, and we can be mindful of these opportunities because there is hope.” - Dr. Drew Dickens ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
