What if the most potent tool for healing isn't a drug or a procedure, but the very words we choose? Today, we unlock the profound and underestimated power of language in patient care. Dr. Grant Stucki is joined once again by Dr. Jake Stucki, an OMS practicing in the Denver area. We look at how to optimize patient disclosure during the pre-operative stage, ensuring both the language and the level of information are appropriate and clear. We emphasize the benefits of shifting from simple "yes or no" questions to more open-ended inquiries to improve patient communication, and discuss the critical importance of being mindful of how we frame and communicate recovery times. The conversation also covers intra- and post-operative language, focusing on the power of positive seed-planting and careful word choice. We explore how simple communication between practitioners can significantly limit unnecessary issues, and finally, we delve into the "Second Victim" ideology, explaining why the language we use with ourselves and our team is essential for well-being. Tune in for a patient-care-focused conversation on how the words we use can ultimately impact the physical healing trajectory of our patients.Key Points From This Episode:Dr. G. Stucki introduces today's topic of conversation: the power of the language we use.Do the words we use have an impact on our patients' ability to heal?Pre-operative language: How can we optimize patient disclosure regarding surgical complications while ensuring the language is appropriate and clear?Changing our yes or no questions to more open-ended questions.How we approach framing and communicating recovery times.Intra-and post-operative language: planting positive seeds consistently and watching our word choice.Dr. G.

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the things, but something still feels off? Like you're trying to move forward, but something under the surface keeps pulling you back? What you're tuned to — what you're mentally calibrating to — matters more than anything else. In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shift that's anchoring me right now, and why it's been a total game-changer for my clients. This isn't about motivation. It's about alignment. It's about tuning into the frequency that keeps you grounded, honest, and moving toward what really matters. If you feel like you're constantly drifting, starting over, or losing steam, this episode is for you.

The hour opened celebrating the Dodgers’ World Series win, marking one week since the epic Game 7 that fans are calling one of the best in sports history. From the diamond to disaster readiness, Orange County Water Agencies announced a new firefighting tool to battle future wildfires. Meanwhile, the OC Food Bank reported a major surge in families needing help—listeners were reminded they can call 2-1-1 for food assistance, and Conway’s crew even tested the line live on air. Later, LAPD Officer Jason Jacobson joined the show to discuss the deadly Studio City home invasion, where a 79-year-old veteran shot and killed an intruder in self-defense. The show promoted a GoFundMe for the Police Unity Tour in Memory, available on @ConwayShow via X and Instagram. The lighter side of the hour featured an odd story out of North Hollywood, where a dog ingested meth during a walk—just weeks after eating weed. The show wrapped with a replay of Norm Macdonald in conversation with Ray Romano, a perfect comedic finish. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael speaks with AI strategist and author Steff about the real-world impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce. Together, they challenge the common narrative that AI is replacing human jobs and explore how leaders can adopt AI responsibly without losing sight of the human element. AI's Limited Impact on the Workforce Steff shares her concerns about companies prematurely laying off employees under the guise of AI adoption, emphasizing that today's AI lacks the depth to truly replace people. Michael echoes this sentiment, noting that many organizations are jumping into AI initiatives without understanding the implications. Both agree that while AI will transform the workforce over time, we're far from a reality where machines can replace human intelligence and empathy. Rethinking Employment Dynamics Michael and Steff dive into the nuances of AI's effect on employment. While automation can replace certain tasks, it often leads to cost-cutting rather than meaningful innovation. Steff highlights how AI can reduce repetitive work, freeing humans to focus on creativity and strategy. The two also compare cultural differences between North America and Europe—where stronger work-life balance and social systems offer a healthier framework for integrating technology into work. AI as a Productivity Partner The conversation shifts to the potential of AI as a collaboration tool. Michael explains how AI-powered note-taking and workflow tools can enhance meetings by freeing up cognitive space and improving documentation. Steff and Michael agree that AI democratizes access to powerful tools, empowering individuals to be more productive, even as organizations struggle to integrate these systems effectively. Context Is the New Skillset Steff introduces a fascinating idea—the rise of the “context engineer.” As businesses rely on AI, she argues that human understanding of nuance, culture, and emotional intelligence will become essential to guide AI systems effectively. Context engineers will bridge the gap between data and human meaning, ensuring AI remains a support, not a substitute. What AI Can't Replace Drawing from her book Being Replaced, Steff outlines five uniquely human skills that AI cannot automate: flexible thinking, emotional intelligence, collective intelligence, intuition, and true innovation. She underscores that while AI can simulate emotion or pattern recognition, it cannot create, connect, or empathize as humans do. Michael reinforces that innovation and adaptability have always been the cornerstones of human progress. AI as a Tool for Human Enhancement The episode closes on an optimistic note. Steff discusses her open-source framework for using AI intelligently and invites listeners to explore her resources on her website and GitHub. Together, Michael and Steff remind us that AI should be viewed not as a threat, but as a powerful enhancement tool that amplifies human capability, creativity, and connection. Listen now to discover how to lead in the age of AI without losing what makes us human. For more insights on leadership, burnout prevention, and workplace culture, visit BreakfastLeadership.com/blog.   Steff Vanhaverbeke - The "Superworker" Revolution   While 76% of professionals are drowning in AI overwhelm, Steff discovered how to use AI to prevent burnout instead of causing it. Her "Superworker" methodology helps leaders achieve 3x productivity without working harder by building an "AI Second Brain."   Starting as a graphic designer in 1993 during the web's emergence, she now coaches professionals at Microsoft, Deloitte, and PwC. Her recent webinar to 400 people generated feedback like "This is exactly what I needed, not another technical course, but insights and ways to get a grip on AI with my team."   Possible discussion topics: AI leadership without burnout Cognitive agility for leaders Guiding teams through tech transformation The five levels of AI adoption (from overwhelmed to empowered) Building psychological safety during technological change Why human skills become more valuable as AI handles routine work

Employers face a patchwork of federal, state, and local laws, each with its own definitions and requirements for AI technologies in the workplace. Understanding these legal nuances and proactively evaluating each tool's function before deployment are essential for staying compliant and minimizing liability.

The time has come for Vaden to defend his faith in the face of cold, hard scientific rationality. Will AI take over the world, automating away everything that makes humans distinct? Or can Vaden defend the church of just-ism, the radical belief that AI is simply "just a tool." Scott Aaronson, professor of computer science at UT Austin, goes to head to head against the zealotry. Check out Scott's website (https://www.scottaaronson.com/) and his blog, Shtetl Optimized (https://scottaaronson.blog/). We discuss Scott view's on education. Should we radically reform K-12? Is ChatGPT changing Scott's approach to teaching The religion of "justa-ism" Is AI just a tool? Is there any principle which lets us say that AI won't be as general as humans?

So we're in early November now, and I have a question for you: how are those ad costs treating you right now? Yeah, I thought so. Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat this – if you've been running ads in the last few weeks, you've probably noticed your costs have gone absolutely mental. And it's only going to get worse as we head deeper into Black Friday and Christmas territory. So today, we need to talk about something that most ecommerce brands are getting completely wrong. And it's costing them – literally – thousands of dollars every single month. I'm talking about email marketing. But not the "spray and pray" kind where you send a newsletter once a month and hope for the best. I'm talking about strategic, automated, revenue-generating email marketing that works while you're sleeping, walking the dog, or binge-watching your favourite Netflix series. By the end of this episode, you're going to understand exactly why your current approach is leaving money on the table, and more importantly, what to do about it before we hit 2026.   Links mentioned in this episode: If you'd like help to achieve your goals, I invite you to have a chat to find out how we can make that happen together HERE By booking a Free Growth Strategy https://productpreneurmarketing.com/lets-talk   Other Ways To Enjoy This Episode: Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify Youtube  

A clear map beats chaos when lives are at stake. We sit down with Dr. Kate Fitz-Gibbon to draw a sharper line between “losing control” in life and being coercively controlled by a partner, and we keep children at the center where they belong. Through careful research and straight talk, we unpack why men's and women's experiences of intimate partner abuse often look different in impact, fear, and loss of liberty—and how that difference should guide courts, police, and service providers in mapping patterns and identifying who is the victim and who is the perpetrator.We dive into male self-reports of coercive control, exploring cases that include humiliation, verbal abuse, and financial restriction, as well as accounts driven by entitlement to control over partners or children. Then we widen the lens: Pattern mapping across time exposes the primary aggressor more reliably than incident-by-incident thinking, prevents misidentification under new coercive control laws, and creates a direct line to child safety by holding domestic abusers, prevalently fathers, accountable as parents. If you work in child protection, probation, or family courts, you'll hear practical ways to separate counter-allegations from documentable behavioral patterns.The stakes rise when we talk about boys. Australian national data shows high rates of childhood maltreatment among both girls and boys, with domestic abuse often at the center. When boys' trauma goes unrecognized or untreated, the risk of later violence, school disengagement, and mental health crises increases. We argue for prevention efforts that help boys navigate rejection, loss of control, consent, and emotional vulnerability—while unlearning coercive patterns used to manage relationships and life stress. This must be paired with services truly designed for children. Add culture change that dismantles the “man box,” and you begin to connect the dots between men's health, family safety, and the prevention of future homicides.Listen for a practical, compassionate framework that respects male victims, safeguards women and children, and helps systems stop guessing at who is the victim and who is the perpetrator. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague who needs a better map, and leave a review with one insight you'll use this week.Send us a text Now available!

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1276 LED Lighting: Tool of Control What if the "efficient" LED glow illuminating our world is a silent weapon? Destroying retinas, scrambling brain waves, pulsing like directed energy beams—these unregulated lights flicker at frequencies triggering migraines, seizures, and ecological collapse. Sold as green progress, the global LED mandate hides industrial control, neurological manipulation, and spiritual rebellion against natural darkness. Guest Mark Baker, Soft Lights Foundation founder, exposes the conspiracy: from DOE negligence to smart-city surveillance. Is banishing night the ultimate act of domination? Restore darkness—or lose our souls. Guest: Mark Baker is the founder of the Soft Lights Foundation, a nonprofit battling unregulated LED dangers to human health and the environment. A leading advocate for victims of LED-induced neurological harm, he's filed lawsuits, petitioned agencies like the DOE and EPA, and rallied scientists, legislators, and disability groups against the rushed global rollout. Exposing flicker, radiation, and ecosystem disruption, Baker champions "soft light" harmony—revealing LEDs as tools of control, not progress.

You ever notice how two people can have the exact same opportunities — same mentor, same strategy, even start on the same day — and one of them explodes while the other barely survives? I used to think the difference was skill, timing, or luck… but it's not. After years of coaching entrepreneurs, I finally figured out what actually separates the ones who get rich from the ones who stay stuck. And once I saw it, I could see it everywhere. In this episode, I'm going to show you the invisible chain reaction that determines everything — and it all comes down to four simple words that explain why some people win and others don't.

In this episode of Building the Base, Hondo Geurts and Lauren Bedula sit down with August Cole, strategist, author, and futurist who has spent his career exploring fiction's role in national security strategy. Drawing from his journey from Wall Street Journal journalist covering defense and technology to co-authoring the groundbreaking novel Ghost Fleet with Peter Singer, Cole discusses how fiction can help leaders avoid strategic surprise and failure of imagination. As Ghost Fleet celebrates its 10-year anniversary, Cole reflects on the book's impact on defense thinking, the power of scenario planning through storytelling, and why "useful fiction" has become an essential tool for wargaming future conflicts in an era of exponential technological change.Five key takeaways from today's episode:Fiction serves as a strategic tool to avoid failure of imagination, with Cole noting that "we really can fall victim to failure of imagination with catastrophic consequences, and even more so today when so many technologies are exponential in their impact on warfare."Ghost Fleet combines rigorous research with narrative storytelling, grounded in "30 or so pages of endnotes" from open-source research including doctrine, patents, and scholarship to make the speculative scenario credible and actionable for defense leaders.Strategic fiction gives leaders permission to think differently, as Cole explains that fiction provides "a safe space to explore ideas that might otherwise be dismissed" and helps overcome organizational resistance to uncomfortable futures.The power of story transcends traditional analysis, with Cole emphasizing that narrative allows people to "see problems from someone else's perspective" and makes complex strategic concepts accessible across organizational hierarchies.Invest in skills that make you a better collaborator, as Cole advises the next generation to focus on "the human dimension" including empathy, foreign languages, and technical literacy while resisting pressure to follow conventional career paths.

Why do we start strong… and still end up stuck? (Watch on YouTube) To answer that, my guest today, Kwame Terra, did something no one else ever has. He walked over 2 million steps in 30 days — 66,000 steps a day. That's more than a marathon's distance daily, with no rest days. At the end of it, Kwame ended up setting a new world record. But this isn't a story about crushing a record. It's a conversation about what it takes to follow through — when no one's watching, when you hit a wall, and when your old self is begging you to quit. In this episode, we unpack: Why motivation rarely lasts — and what to rely on instead The hardest part of walking 66K steps a day (it's not what you think) How pain, rhythm, and emotional triggers show up in the body What Kwame learned about trusting himself again through movement Why “finishing something” can be more healing than we realize More than any record, this challenge was about reclaiming a sense of identity, integrity, and forward momentum — through walking.

Sarah Williams, founder and CEO of Leading Culture and former director at GAP Consulting for 23 years, brings her accounting background and business growth strategy expertise to a spirited debate about ROI, value-based pricing, and why companies leave money on the table.  From her home in New Zealand (Mark's second favorite country), Sarah challenges conventional pricing wisdom—arguing that ROI applies to both B2B and B2C, that we should ignore competitors when determining value, and that the antidote to the curse of knowledge is thinking with a beginner's mind.  Mark pushes back on opportunity costs, explains why competitor pricing matters, and uses everything from vests to Louis Vuitton handbags to make his points in this engaging conversation about helping customers understand the true value of what they're buying.   Why You Have to Check Out Today's Podcast: Understand why teaching customers to think in ROI is the fastest way to eliminate buyer's remorse, increase prices, and differentiate from competitors who focus on features. Discover the beginner's mind approach that prevents the #1 mistake pricing experts make—assuming customers know what seems "obvious" to you. Master vulnerability-based trust by inviting customers to ask questions without fear—the counterintuitive sales technique that accelerates deals faster than "looking professional".   "Think in terms of value from the customer's perspective." – Sarah Williams   Topics Covered: 03:01 - Why ROI Should Be Everyone's Decision-Making Framework 06:10 - Helping Customers Think in ROI Terms: Your Job as the Provider 08:12 - Utility in Economics: The B2C Alternative to Monetary ROI 20:00 - The Opportunity Cost Debate: Pricing vs. Budgeting Decisions 25:19 - Differentiation Value: Starting with Competitor's Price, Then Adding 27:57 - Louis Vuitton vs. $40 Handbags: Conspicuous Consumption and What People Really Buy 32:31 - Starting with a Blank Slate: Thinking Myopically About Customer Value 35:32 - Final Advice: Think in Terms of Value from the Customer's Perspective   Key Takeaways: ROI on its own can be a decision-making framework. From the point of view of maybe even making a personal decision, I can think about, well, what's the return on investment? And that might even be an investment of my time." - Sarah Williams "We're doing our customers a disservice if we're not helping them to think in terms of ROI. Like, what really am I getting? Because buyer's remorse is really, really prevalent. People make split-second decisions now and then live to regret it 24 hours later." - Sarah Williams "In economics, there's this concept called utility, right? So, I think in terms of when you're thinking B2C, now you're shifting the conversation a little bit more towards the utility angle in economics." - Sarah Williams   People / Resources Mentioned: Jim Collins: Author of "Good to Great" Chip and Dan Heath: Authors of "Made to Stick" and the concept of the curse of knowledge Patrick Lencioni: Leadership expert who popularized vulnerability-based trust and predictive trust concepts GAP Consulting: Where Sarah served as director for 23 years Complete Learning Solutions: Where Sarah was Chief Inspiration Officer Louis Vuitton: Used as example of luxury pricing vs. commodity pricing iPhone: Example of blue ocean differentiation where customers don't compare competitor prices Huawei: Mentioned as iPhone alternative that iPhone users don't consider when upgrading   Connect with Sarah Williams: Email: sarah@leadingculture.co.nz Website: https://www.leadingculture.co.nz/home  AI Summit Link: https://www.leadingculture.co.nz/ai-summit-registration-page   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com
