In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Adam Berinsky discuss political rumors and misinformation. Dr. Berinsky defines rumors as unsubstantiated claims without evidence, emphasizing their social transmission. He identifies two factors influencing rumor belief: conspiratorial thinking and partisan polarization. Berinsky's research reveals that while some people firmly believe rumors, others are ambivalent and more open to correction. He suggests focusing on these undecided individuals rather than entrenched believers. Berinsky also highlights the role of political leaders in spreading misinformation and the need for creative messaging to counteract it.    Key Takeaways: Political rumors (or misinformation) are claims that are unsubstantiated by the balance of publicly available information.  Republicans and Democrats are equally (or very nearly) likely to believe different pieces of misinformation that they're presented with. Currently, Republican politicians are more likely to spread misinformation.  The more attention you pay to politics, the more likely you are to listen to people on your side. Better-educated and more informed people should be more likely to reject misinformation, but what we find is that actually, they're more attuned to the partisan angle of that information.    "Maybe our effort is better spent on trying to get these people who are not sure where they stand, because those are the people that we can move." —  Dr. Adam Berinsky   Connect with Dr. Adam Berinsky: Professional Bio: https://polisci.mit.edu/people/adam-berinsky  Website: https://berinsky.mit.edu/  Book: https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691158389/political-rumors  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-berinsky-7b9830/    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net BlueSky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Hey, if the orange-turd of a president can do it, why not these two? Maybe they should say they're going to build a library and start taking donations. Or they could sue Twitter and Facebook for defamation of character and win $20 million with no case whatsoever. Or, Doug and Strickland could claim they are South African farmers seeking asylum from being driven from their lands, maybe the government will give them a suitcase full of cash if they claim to be Christians who are being discriminated against by Harvard.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Cecilia Poullain discuss:The intersection of personal transformation and professional identityNavigating and overcoming fear through self-expressionThe power of storytelling in reclaiming one's voiceShifting from traditional career paths to more authentic, purpose-driven lives Key Takeaways:To overcome fear of public speaking or visibility, engage in practices like vocal training or performance-based activities that reconnect you with your physical voice and sense of self-expression.Before pursuing a major career opportunity, reflect deeply on whether the role aligns with your true values and identity, rather than simply accepting it based on prestige or external validation.Avoid falling into perfectionism by giving yourself permission to make mistakes, take small experimental steps, and speak up even when your contribution feels imperfect or incomplete.Create intentional professional communities where you can actively contribute, connect with aligned individuals, and develop visibility, rather than waiting passively for recognition or advancement. " A real destroyer of confidence is perfectionism." —  Cecilia Poullain Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

With over 23 years of experience in sales and leadership, he helps organizations create sustainable, positive workplace cultures that encourage risk-taking and employee appreciation.

He also serves as a Senior Advisory Consultant for Wisory, providing business advice and leadership support, and as a part-time consultant for AI Vision, where he helps teams with strategic decision-making. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Maurice Jenkens discuss:The role of intuition in leadership and decision-makingThe relationship between emotional intelligence and self-awarenessBalancing data with inner knowing in professional environmentsPersonal transformation through adversity and burnoutHuman connection and authenticity in the age of AI Key Takeaways:Developing self-trust by identifying the unique internal resonance of intuition allows for better decisions that align with one's deeper values and insights.Daily journaling practices and mindful self-check-ins can calm the nervous system and enhance clarity, especially during times of stress or uncertainty.The inability to process emotions impairs decision-making, as feelings provide essential context that raw data alone cannot offer.Intuition often manifests as subtle emotional cues or gut feelings, and acting on them, rather than waiting for external validation, can prevent missteps and missed opportunities. "Why intuition? Well, it has always been there. It has not left me alone, except for the years when I was so deeply in my logical mind that I crashed, as my whole nervous system was objecting. I had sort of tucked myself away. Except for those years, intuition has been pulling on me constantly.” — Maurice Jenkens Connect with Maurice Jenkens:  Website: https://www.intuitiveleader.net/Show: The Intuitive Leader™: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-intuitive-leader/id1807787102LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mauricejenkens/  See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. James Alcock discuss what near-death experiences are and the increase in them in recent years due to improvements in medical technology. While near-death experiences (NDEs) have been known about for a long time, we, as a scientific community, are starting to understand more about what they mean for neurological processes. However, despite knowing the science of what is happening, NDEs and how they are experienced are subject to one's own beliefs, context, and even religious framework. Dr. Alcock and Therese also discuss the relationship between near-death experiences, hallucinations, and even reactions to various drugs and how they create powerful subjective experiences.     Key Takeaways: In surveys taken in the United States, about 3% of people have reported having near-death experiences. This number can be difficult to assess as they are based on memory and the surveys are taken, sometimes years after the incident in question. It is difficult to prove near-death experiences in research studies due to the subjectivity of what is being perceived.  Even with the science that we do know, those who have near-death experiences (including neurologists who have studied the brain) report the reality of the feelings and perceptions that are felt in these experiences.    "Context is important. Our interpretation is important. And it's very difficult, if not impossible, for any individual to distinguish between reality and subjective fantasies in those situations." —  Dr. James Alcock   Connect with Dr. James Alcock: Wikipedia Page: James Alcock   Book: Belief: What it Means to Believe and Why Our Convictions are so Compelling  Magazine: Skeptical Inquirer   Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Mark Murphy discuss:The challenges and nuances of hiring the right talent for law firmsThe critical distinction between attitude and skills in recruitmentHow leadership traits can hinder effective hiring decisionsPractical strategies for improving the legal hiring and interview process Key Takeaways:Eighty-nine percent of new hires fail due to attitude issues like entitlement or resistance to feedback, not because of technical skill gaps, showing why firms must prioritize attitude in hiring.Top-performing teams rely on five key roles—director, trailblazer, harmonizer, achiever, and stabilizer—each providing distinct behavioral strengths that drive success.Interviewers can quickly spot problem solvers by asking about a past mistake and seeing if the candidate naturally explains how they resolved it without prompting.High performers use first-person and past-tense language when describing real experiences, while weaker candidates rely on vague, hypothetical answers using second-person phrasing. "I always tell leaders this: ironically, the better the leader you are, often the worse hirer you are, because you have to dial down your natural optimism and desire to see everybody be great." —  Mark Murphy Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Deborah Lang discuss the rise of skin cancer, particularly melanoma, and its causes. Dr. Lang explains that skin cancers are derived from different skin cells: basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, both linked to UV exposure, and melanoma, which can be UV-independent and linked to genetic susceptibility. Dr. Lang emphasizes the importance of early detection and personalized medicine, noting that melanoma can metastasize early. She also highlights the role of genetic mutations in cancer development and the impact of funding cuts on cancer research.    Key Takeaways: There are three major types of skin cancer. About 80% are basal cell carcinomas.  Because we are living longer, we have an increased chance of cancer. However, other reasons for increased skin cancer include increased UV exposure and tanning beds.  We are all born with moles, but if you notice a change or have a lot (such as over 100), it is worth getting them checked out.  Between 5 and 25 minutes of sun exposure per day is enough for your vitamin D production (less for lighter skin). However, sunlight has other benefits for your health and circadian rhythm.    "Melanomas are derived from a different type of cell - from cells that produce pigment called melanocytes. While this type of cancer is much rarer than basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, it is the most lethal type of skin cancer." —  Dr. Deborah Lang   Episode References:  NIH: https://www.nih.gov/  American Cancer Society: https://www.cancer.gov/  Leo Foundation: https://leo-foundation.org/en/    Connect with Dr. Deborah Lang: Professional Bio: https://profiles.bu.edu/Deborah.Lang  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborah-lang-691158208/  ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Deborah-Lang-38651370    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Eddie Donley's journey in real estate began in the early 2000s as a loan originator, where he honed his financial expertise before making a bold pivot. Seeing the storm brewing in 2007, he stepped away from lending and carved out a new path in real estate investing. That instinct for market shifts and his ability to adapt would define his career. In 2015, after relocating to Asheville, NC, Eddie earned his real estate license and quickly made his mark. He became a Triple Platinum KW Mega Agent, a team owner, and the Team Leader of the most profitable market center in all of Keller Williams—all while navigating an interstate move that forced him to restart his business from scratch. Then, he did it again. Now, Eddie has moved once more, this time to the Charlotte area in South Carolina, where he's rebuilding his business yet again, proving that success isn't about location—it's about mindset, strategy, and relentless execution. His ability to adapt, lead, and scale businesses in multiple markets speaks to his mastery of systems, leadership, and high-performance real estate. And did we mention he's also a father of five? When Gary Keller said, "People overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in five," he wasn't thinking of Eddie Donley—because Eddie has a habit of doing both.   In this episode, Karen and Eddie discuss: Success Story of Eddie Commit to Get Leads Think, Seek, Choose, Act. Look around and notice who or what is being underrepresented. You'll be amazed at how the work can flood in.

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: Why engagement is important, what it means, and how it differs between puppies and older dogs.  The importance of rituals in engagement, no matter the location.  Developing engagement and engagement rituals.  Creating and maintaining an emotional connection with your dog, no matter your emotional state that day.    Key Takeaways: If your dog is not in the right state of mind, you're not going to achieve your training goals in a particular session. If it happens too many times, you won't be moving forward in achieving your training goals.  You should be creating an emotional connection with your dog when you're training and working with your dog.  Whether you are training at a club or in your backyard, you want the ritual to be consistent so your dog knows that it is game time.  Engagement does not just happen at the beginning of your training session - it should go through the entire session to keep the dog's attention and keep them engaged no matter how many repetitions.  Stop training when you're at the peak of it. Leave the dog wanting more for next time.    "Developing good rituals for engagement means you're going to be training better, right? You're going to be ready ahead of time. You're going to be creating expectations in your dog. When one repetition is over, we want that dog to have the expectation that they're going to get to do it again." —  Jerry Bradshaw   Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com   Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training:  www.tarheelcanine.com Youtube: tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon: patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine  Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/  Tarheel Canine Student Portal: https://tcstudentportal.com/    Sponsors:  ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com The Drive Company: https://thedriveco.com/  The Drive Company Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedrive.co    Train hard, train smart, be safe.   Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Anice Lowen discuss the bird flu outbreak, highlighting the virus's spread from birds to dairy cattle and recorded cases of human infection. Dr. Lowen explains the differences between influenza A and influenza B viruses, talks about which type causes pandemics, and what we can do to try to prevent future pandemics from these flu strains.     Key Takeaways: An epidemic affects a specific region, a pandemic is global. Only Influenza A viruses can cause pandemics and are often transmitted via birds and mammals.  Humans can become infected with viruses from animals only if we are exposed to those animals.  Flu epidemics happen every winter due to the circulation of influenza A and B viruses. Pandemics happen sporadically, the last four were well documented in 1918, 1957, 1968, and 2009.  Bird flu can become serious if human to another.  So monitoring is critical.   "Viruses circulating in these domestic animals actually present the greatest pandemic risk simply because humans are exposed to those animals more than they are to wild animals." —  Dr. Anice Lowen   Connect with Dr. Anice Lowen: Professional Bio: biomed.emory.edu/PROGRAM_SITES/MMG/about-us/faculty-detail/anice-lowen-phd   Website: https://www.lowenlab.com/      Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Tyson Mutrux discuss:The importance of cultivating the right mindset for professional growthBuilding and scaling a law firm through strategic hiring and systematized operationsThe power of networking and targeted referrals in developing a legal practiceUtilizing peer groups, coaching, and mentorship as tools for continuous improvement Key Takeaways:Mindset is the number one limiting factor for lawyers—without overcoming mental barriers, no strategy will work, even with a step-by-step million-dollar blueprint.Many law firms suffer from cash flow problems because lawyers pull too much money from the business too early, preventing reinvestment and sustainable growth.Effective hiring requires a thorough, systematized process—using tools like Zoho Recruit and strategies like “topgrading” ensures better long-term talent fit and retention.Networking should be laser-focused—meeting with professionals who are in a direct position to send targeted referrals, like volume PI firms or chiropractors, yields better ROI than general networking. "You can ruin a good hire just by having bad processes or no processes." —  Tyson Mutrux Got a challenge growing your law practice?

About Ken Schmidt:Ken Schmidt is one of the business world's most in-demand executive advisors and speakers, driven by the acclaim he earned leading Harley-Davidson Motor Company's against-all-odds turnaround in the 1990s from the brink of financial ruin to global dominance. He's the author of Make Some Noise: The Unconventional Road to Dominance, the host of the Tailgating with Geniuses podcast, and co-founder of Torque Sessions Leadership Training. Ken's success, unconventional business approach, and playful outspokenness led him to consulting assignments with household-name brands and transformed him into a highly requested speaker with more than 1,200 keynotes presented globally to date. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ken Schmidt discuss:Human-centered brand differentiationEmotional connection as a competitive edgeReframing traditional marketing strategiesBusiness transformation through customer feedbackThe power of language in brand identity Key Takeaways:Harley-Davidson's resurgence came from abandoning a product-focused mindset and embracing a strategy centered on emotional connection, human interaction, and delivering consistent delight.By directly asking riders one powerful question—“What do we have to change on this motorcycle to convince you to buy it?”—Harley created a fast, impactful loop between feedback and product innovation.The company aligned its brand around three key questions—what are people saying about us, what do we want them to say, and what are we doing to get them to say it—shaping its message and behavior for lasting impact.Harley proved real customer loyalty is built not on specs or price, but on small, repeated experiences that make people feel seen, valued, and emotionally tied to the brand. "What makes a business attractive is when it is known for who it is rather than what it is.” — Ken Schmidt Connect with Ken Schmidt:  Website: https://kenspeaks.com/Torque Sessions: https://www.torquesessions.com/Book: Make Some Noise: https://www.amazon.com/Make-Some-Noise-Unconventional-Dominance/dp/150115561XShow: Tailgating With Geniuses: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tailgating-with-geniuses/id1576378423LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-schmidt-5b08115/ See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Joshua Weitz discuss his book "Asymptomatic: The Silent Spread of COVID-19 and the Future of Pandemics" and his work in understanding the risk of COVID spread from as early as spring of 2020. He highlights the double-edged sword of asymptomatic infections, discusses what governments could do to help mitigate at-risk populations, and what we, as individuals, can do to help keep everyone safe. Dr. Weitz criticizes early predictions of COVID-19's disappearance by mid-2020, attributing the error to underestimated infections and behavioral changes. He emphasizes the importance of public health measures, vaccination, and testing, especially in vulnerable populations. Finally, Dr. Weitz talks about the role of asymptomatic transmission in future pandemics and the need for proactive public health investments.    Key Takeaways: Not having symptoms doesn't mean that you never had COVID-19. Nearly 50% of cases in early 2020 were asymptomatic (though that number varies by age).  There was not one single group of modelers trying to make sense of the data coming out of the pandemic. As such, different projections can come out even from the same pandemic information. For infectious diseases, our behavior is correlated with the risk.  COVID is not the flu. COVID is not gone, and we now have a double seasonal burden from both flu and COVID. If everyone is asymptomatic or it was always mild, we wouldn't worry. We wouldn't have stopped things or been so upset just by cases or infections; it was the severe ones and the number of severe cases that dictated the approach to control, as the transmission potential by asymptomatic individuals was not considered.  "The double-edged sword is good news, in some sense, for individuals, but it's bad news for populations, because many more people can be infected. They're contagious and interact with more people. When we try to think from a public health perspective, not just a personal health perspective, then we have to be concerned." —  Dr. Joshua Weitz   Connect with Dr. Joshua Weitz: Professional Bio: https://biology.umd.edu/people/dr-joshua-weitz  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-weitz-5866599/  Substack: http://joshuasweitz.substack.com/    Website: https://weitzgroup.umd.edu/   Book: Asymptomatic: The Silent Spread of COVID-19 and the Future of Pandemics https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/53730/asymptomatic   Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

About Gareth Davies:Gareth Davies began his journey in the world of professional sport, only to have his career cut short far earlier than expected. After trying his hand at conventional employment, he quickly realized he wasn't built for the 9-to-5 grind—especially when it meant being told when he could take a holiday and how little he was worth.A born entrepreneur, Gareth went on to own multiple businesses, but it was 30 years ago when he was first introduced to network marketing that something truly clicked. He was drawn to the personal growth, the people, and the promise of building something on his own terms.Alongside his wife, Gareth built a thriving business during the pandemic—only to see it unravel due to decisions beyond their control. Undeterred, he sought out a more transparent and values-driven company where he could rebuild with integrity and intention.Now based in the Arctic Circle, where he moved from the UK a decade ago, Gareth continues to blend entrepreneurial grit with a deep passion for helping others grow—not just in business, but in life.In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Gareth Davies discuss:Network Marketing Journey and MindsetRedox Molecules and Health BenefitsPersonalized Sales ApproachImportance of Continuous Personal DevelopmentEntrepreneurial Flexibility and AdaptabilityKey Takeaways:Success rarely follows a straight line in direct sales, but rather, embrace the ups and downs, learning from each experience and staying committed to personal growth.Understanding your body's cellular needs can transform your approach to wellness. Speak directly to a person's specific pain points or goals rather than using broad, unfocused messaging, and when you connect a product's benefits to an individual's unique challenges, you create genuine interest and trust.Your mindset and knowledge are your most valuable business assets.Being open to new opportunities and willing to pivot when necessary can lead to unexpected breakthroughs, and whether it's changing industries, exploring new products, or reimagining your approach, flexibility is key to long-term success."What you do today will compound through your life.” — Gareth DaviesConnect with Gareth Davies:  Facebook Name: https://www.facebook.com/garethrdaviesLinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garethrodneydavies/Instagram Business Link: https://www.instagram.com/compound_garethLink to Gift from Gareth Davies:Free Gift for Listeners:Claim your FREE 30-minute Health Consultation Video Call with Gareth Davies!

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Greg Eisenberg discuss:How law firm business models are quickly shifting due to tech and market forcesWhy branding and visibility are critical for firms of any sizeWays small and solo firms can compete with major legal playersHow legal entrepreneurship is evolving through collaboration Key Takeaways:Small law firms can remain competitive by joining collectives that centralize branding, marketing, and operational tools while allowing them to retain full ownership of their businesses.Repeating a strong personal brand message through short-form video content across the right platforms helps attorneys become top-of-mind in their niche.The most effective business development strategy combines strong referral networks and relationship-building with a smart digital advertising approach.Law firms must stop treating marketing as a standalone fix and instead adopt a unified strategy that integrates operations, technology, finance, and client experience for long-term success. "They say they don't teach business in law school. I went to business school. They don't teach business in business school—it didn't make a huge difference. There's just some stuff they can't prepare you for." —  Greg Eisenberg Got a challenge growing your law practice?

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Lindsey Busfield discuss:The nuances and strategic use of SEO for law firm marketingThe importance of selective client intake for long-term successEvaluating the effectiveness of social media versus SEO in legal marketingUtilizing modern website tools and AI-driven bots for better client engagement Key Takeaways:SEO can be a game-changer, but only for firms in the right geographic and competitive conditions—others should consider niche targeting or different marketing strategies entirely.Social media rarely drives real case volume for law firms, unless it's used with intention, high-quality content, and deep community alignment.Choosing the right clients is just as important as hiring the right team, because poor client fit leads to burnout, financial issues, and strained relationships.Website platforms should match your marketing goals, with WordPress offering the best SEO flexibility, while simpler tools like Squarespace are fine for credibility-focused sites. "I have never talked to a lawyer who has said, 'Yes, I am getting half of my caseload through social media because it's so great.' That being said, social media can be really helpful as part of a grassroots campaign." —  Lindsey Busfield Got a challenge growing your law practice?

About Vishal Gondal:Vishal Gondal is a prominent Indian entrepreneur known as the pioneer and Father of the Indian Gaming Industry. He founded Indiagames at the age of 16, scaling it internationally before its acquisition by Disney in 2011 for approximately $100 million. Vishal then transitioned into health-tech, establishing GOQii in 2014—a groundbreaking company promoting holistic wellness through advanced wearable technology and personalized coaching. He also hosts "The Awakening Code" podcast, exploring the intersection of AI, spirituality, innovation, and consciousness. Recognized globally as an innovative leader, Vishal continues to bridge technology and wellness, transforming how people engage with their health and lives. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Vishal Gondal discuss:How gamification influences long-term behavior changeShifting from reactive treatment to preventive healthcare modelsUnderstanding the gap between knowing and doing in healthThe role of AI in predicting and personalizing health interventionsExploring human purpose and spirituality in the age of AI Key Takeaways:Gamification works best when tasks are aligned with a person's skill level and progress is reinforced through small, consistent rewards.Most people already know what to do for their health, but the challenge lies in sustained motivation, not access to more information.The current healthcare system is incentivized to treat sickness instead of preventing it, which misaligns its goals with actual health outcomes.Artificial intelligence is enabling real-time, personalized health risk predictions that can guide users to make proactive lifestyle changes. "AI is going to force the healthcare system to transform, because now you no longer have to have a probability game—it's a predictability game.” — Vishal GondalConnect with Vishal Gondal:  Website: https://goqii.com/in-enShow: The Awakening Code: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2gtuaqZASZ0ddMrBVq_CjkXqV9UvrhMYYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAwakeningCodeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vishalgondal/X (Twitter): https://x.com/vishalgondalFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/VishalGondalOfficial/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishygo/GOQii Smart Vital series: https://store.goqii.com/smartvital  See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

When we hear the term tumor or cancer, the image that often comes to mind is a bunch of bad cells next to normal ones, and growing. Like many things, it's just not that simple. How do the normal cells turn bad? Can our immune systems detect the cancer cell and kill it? Why does some initially successful chemotherapy stop working? Why does cancer spread? These are all great questions, since cancers of one kind or another will affect so many of us either as patients, friends, or loved ones. Well, basic science is providing some critical answers. In today's episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Ajit Nirmal discuss just these questions.    Key Takeaways: If we didn't have an immune system, we'd all get cancer.  Drug resistance continues to be the principal limiting factor to achieving cures in patients with cancer. Once a normal cell has turned cancerous, it is likely dividing much faster than a normal cell. This rapid cell division is error-prone and can lead to the accumulation of mutations at a much faster rate.   "I truly believe, with adequate basic understanding of the molecular underpinnings of cancer evolution, and how the tumor microenvironment helps it or promotes it, we will be able to predict the best course of action to target all cancer cells up until the very last one, and consequently to the patient." —  Dr. Ajit Nirmal   Connect with Dr. Ajit Nirmal: Professional Bio: https://scholar.harvard.edu/ajitjohnson/home  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajitjohnsonnirmal/    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jody Glidden discuss:The evolution and growing impact of AI in professional servicesChallenges lawyers face in client relationship managementThe limitations and future of traditional CRMsStrategies for maintaining and expanding client relationships Key Takeaways:43% of clients leave law firms not because of service quality but due to poor communication and lack of follow-up.AI-powered tools like Postilize can monitor relationship gaps and generate personalized outreach suggestions for lawyers to approve and send.Keeping in touch with clients through relevant life or business events — like promotions, layoffs, or funding rounds — can significantly boost retention and trust.Many lawyers miss business opportunities by failing to engage multiple contacts ("multi-threading") within a client's organization, risking total loss when one contact departs. "If you can ever move [a relationship] to personal, I think then you've probably got them for life." —  Jody Glidden Got a challenge growing your law practice?

Embracing flexible, adaptive models can enhance responsiveness and support collective problem-solving. "One of the things that we're seeing right now is that nonprofits are experiencing multiple layers of uncertainty.” — Isaac MacDonald Connect with Isaac MacDonald:  Website: https://trepwise.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaac-macdonald-28229067 & https://www.linkedin.com/company/trepwiseX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/trepwiseFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/trepwise See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Jodi Gilman discuss the implications of cannabis use on health and safety. Dr. Gilman explains that THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, binds to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, affecting areas involved in emotion, memory, and decision-making. Cannabis use can lead to long-term brain alterations, particularly in adolescents, frequent users, and those using high-potency products. Dr. Gilman highlights the risks of cannabis-induced psychosis, depression, and anxiety, especially in those with a family history of psychosis. She also notes the lack of evidence for medical marijuana's efficacy and the challenges in detecting cannabis impairment.    Key Takeaways: Edibles typically last longer than smoked or vaped cannabis, but it takes longer to feel the effects. It can take 30-60 minutes to reach the brain. The three things that make cannabis risky are the age you start to use cannabis, the frequency of use, and the potency of the product you are using. Those three factors increase the likelihood of long-term alterations on the brain, structurally and functionally. Cannabis is a psychoactive substance, like alcohol, tobacco, nicotine, and cocaine; it is addictive to some people. It is estimated that 1 in 5 people who use cannabis will become addicted. THC impairs attention, it impairs coordination, and it impairs reaction time - all of these are critical for driving. THC is thought to double the risk of a crash.   "People think cannabis is safe, like bubble gum. It's not bubble gum. It's a psychoactive compound that affects your brain, and you really need to be cautious about these products." —  Dr. Jodi Gilman     Connect with Dr. Jodi Gilman: Professional Bio: https://researchers.mgh.harvard.edu/profile/4080912/Jodi-Gilman  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodi-gilman-474a4ab4/      Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net      Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Trump wants to bring manufacturing back to the States by charging other countries more to send us stuff to sell, but here's the problem with U.S. tariffs- If Nike makes a shoe in Indonesia, the cost of manufacturing, shipping, AND a big tariff added on still makes it about 80% cheaper than manufacturing it in the US. Is Nike going to take a hit on the profit of those shoes when a tariff is added? Hell no, they're just going to pass the cost onto the consumer. So, if you were wondering who pays for tariffs? It's the consumer. That's your economics lesson for the day. Sorry no time left for me to listen to the episode and write show notes now.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Robert Meade, an expert in thermal physiology, discuss the dangers posed to human health by the rising heat. Dr Meade explains that extreme heat is a combination of air temperature and humidity, which can strain the body's ability to regulate temperature. He notes that older adults and women may be more vulnerable to heat stress due to reduced sweating and cardiovascular function. They talk about the differences between heat stress and heat stroke and how to identify symptoms to keep an eye on if you are in a hot environment. The discussion highlights the challenges of accurately measuring heat-related deaths and the importance of adaptive strategies, such as cool roofs and reflective pavements, to mitigate heat stress. Dr. Meade also mentions an ongoing study in India on the heat stress experienced by informal workers.    Key Takeaways: Heat stress is more than just temperature and humidity. Activity, clothing, location, and anything else that impedes and impacts the body can change the level of heat stress. What constitutes extreme heat will vary from person to person.  Evaporative cooling is impacted by humidity - it's much harder to evaporate fluid from the skin into the air when there's already a lot of moisture in the air. The impacts of heat on the body are difficult to correctly identify in hospitals or medical records.   "The response the body takes to help maintain safe internal body temperatures implicates many bodily systems. Heat has a kind of widespread cascading effects that are just really hard to correctly identify." —  Dr. Robert Meade   Connect with Dr. Robert Meade: Professional Bio: https://hsph.harvard.edu/profile/robert-meade/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-meade-09536520a  X: https://x.com/robertdmeade    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

That's right Funk'N Fans- Just like Las Vegas, the fuckery is built on bad math. I actually listened to the show this week (go figure!) and Jared's VM made me want to go back and check the episode numbering. Well, damn if he wasn't right! Someone slipped in a few "bonus episodes" here and there, so sure enough, this is episode 1600. Kind of anti-climactic, right? Would you expect anything else from these two mouth-breathers?
