Story at-a-glance Long-term antidepressant use significantly increases the risk of sudden cardiac death, with risk doubling after six or more years of use according to Danish research Younger adults face an even higher risk, with those aged 30 to 39 showing five times greater likelihood of sudden cardiac death after six years on antidepressants Antidepressants disrupt heart rhythm by affecting ion channels, triggering fatal irregular heartbeat Research shows antidepressants only benefit about 15% of patients beyond placebo effect, primarily those with severe depression rather than general low mood Effective alternatives for managing depression include exercise, sunlight exposure, gut health optimization and techniques for nervous system regulation
AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to boost your game. Used wisely, AI can be your secret weapon. AI is everywhere: in social selling, content creation, automation, to say the least. Here's the double-edged sword: If you're trying to outsource everything to AI, you won't last. If you're stuck in the old ways, refusing to adapt, you'll get left behind. Top performers are integrating AI into their workflows to make their human skills even sharper. They know AI is the edge they need to rise above the competition. Where AI Actually Delivers Value Think about how much sales time you burn on necessary tasks that don't drive revenue, like data entry and research. That's where AI shines. It handles the repetitive work faster and more accurately than you ever could. Feed it your ideal customer profile, and you can have a filtered list of prospects before you even finish your coffee. AI can analyze thousands of LinkedIn profiles in minutes to identify prospects who match your best customers' characteristics. It can scrape company websites, news articles, and financial reports to give you conversation starters that actually matter. While you're having one discovery call, AI can prep intel for your next five meetings. Consider email outreach. Instead of sending generic templates, AI can help personalize messages at scale using real company data—recent funding rounds, leadership changes, and industry challenges. All this results in open rates that don't make you cringe and response rates that actually justify your time investment. Be Smart About How You Integrate The mistake most sales reps make is thinking AI means "set it and forget it." That's plain wrong. The winners are using AI as a research assistant, not a replacement for judgment. They're feeding it context, reviewing its output, and adding the human insight that turns data into deals. The best use AI to identify patterns in their closed-won deals, then apply those insights to current opportunities. They analyze which messaging resonates with different buyer personas, then craft more targeted outreach. They're not working harder; they're leveraging better intelligence. Take objection handling. AI can analyze your call recordings to identify the most common pushback you're getting, then help you develop stronger responses. It can even suggest which case studies or references would be most compelling for specific prospect types. It's taking your experience and making it work for you at warp speed. What's Coming Next for AI Wait until you see what's on the docket for AI advancements: AI agents that anticipate what you need before you even ask. What if your follow-up email was already drafted after a call, incorporating specific points from the conversation? Your proposal includes ROI calculations tailored to their business model, all generated from publicly available data about their company. AI will soon do more than respond to prompts; it will proactively support your sales process. It'll flag when a deal is stalling based on engagement patterns. It'll suggest the optimal time to follow up based on the prospect's communication preferences. It'll even coach you on your delivery by analyzing successful calls from top performers. That's why the time to adopt is now. Don't let AI's growth outpace your own knowledge of how to use it. Stay on top of new systems and improvements. The Human Element Remains King But here's what AI will never recognize: the moment in a sale when a prospect's voice changes and you know they're really interested. It doesn't have the ability to read between the lines of what someone isn't saying. It lacks the intuition that tells you to pivot your pitch mid-conversation because you've spotted a better angle. AI can't build genuine rapport. It can't adapt to the subtle cues that tell you someone's ready to buy or needs more nurturing. It can't handle the complex, nuanced objections that require empathy and creative...

In this thought-provoking episode of the Rocket Chiro Podcast, Jerry Kennedy welcomes returning guest Shaq Smith for an unstructured but incredibly relevant conversation about a cultural shift in healthcare trust—especially among Gen Z—and what that means for chiropractors moving forward. Together, they unpack a global study by Edelman shared via Axios that reveals rising distrust in the medical establishment, and how younger generations are increasingly turning to social media, family, and AI instead of doctors for healthcare advice. This episode is not about fear or doom. It's about opportunity. Jerry and Shaq discuss how chiropractors can thrive in this new environment—by becoming approachable, authentic, and collaborative. If you want to know how to build real trust in a skeptical world, this episode is for you. Topics Covered Breakdown of the Edelman Study 16,000 adults surveyed across 16 countries Trust in traditional medical advice is plummeting Gen Z (ages 18–34) showed the sharpest decline in trust People now turn to friends, family, social media, and AI tools like ChatGPT for guidance Why This Matters for Chiropractors Many chiropractors misinterpret this shift as negative Jerry argues it's actually a massive opportunity People are more open than ever to alternative care But they're also more skeptical and cautious Key Insights for Chiropractors Approachability Over Authority Don't try to act like a hospital or medical institution Be authentic, human, and real Patients are drawn to approachable, relatable personalities—especially online Be a Trusted Peer, Not Just a Provider The age of “the man in the white coat” is fading Trust is built through transparency, consistency, and care Shaq shares real-world examples from social media and ad performance Collaborative Decision-Making is Crucial Chiropractic is a participation sport Patients don't want to be told what to do—they want to be heard Jerry shares the idea of “unburdening yourself” from outcomes, while still leading responsibly Office Design, Language, and Branding Your tone, attire, and environment matter more than ever Don't fake it. Be yourself—but be your best self Your online persona should match the in-office experience Retention Through Relationship True retention isn't just about visit numbers It's about maintaining a long-term doctor-patient relationship “If they're going to see a chiropractor five times in the next 20 years—make sure it's you.” Practical Takeaways Be visible and real online—smile in your photos, show personality in your videos Ditch manipulative sales tactics—people will bolt if they sense even a whiff of deception Use AI tools to enhance patient understanding, not replace your role Build trust over time—especially with younger patients who are used to doing their own research Engage in local Facebook groups or community platforms to stay involved without relying solely on ads About the Guest Shaq Smith is a marketing and social media strategist who specializes in helping chiropractors create content and ads that convert. Known for his sharp insights and practical advice, Shaq brings a younger generational perspective to the conversation—especially relevant for understanding Gen Z patient behavior. Final Thoughts This episode challenges chiropractors to stop chasing mainstream status and start leaning into what makes them different. Trust isn't dead—it's just shifting. And chiropractors who embrace approachability, authenticity, and patient participation will thrive in this new era. Want Help Growing Your Practice?

Three minutes in, I realized I'd been vibe coding for months without knowing there was a name for it. But pretotypes? That's when I knew I had to get him on the show immediately. We're talking about taking your stream-of-consciousness ideas and building working drafts before you've even figured out what you want. For business owners doing $0.5 to 10 million a year, this isn't just another tech trend—it's the shift that stops you from waiting weeks for simple prototypes. Aaron's VP of Creative Innovation at Mod Op, and in this spontaneous follow-up to his Leader Generation episode, we dig into what vibe coding actually means for your bottom line and why small teams are suddenly punching way above their weight class. Action items to consider that tie to this episode: Immediate (This Week) Identify your development bottlenecks - Where are you currently waiting on programmers or outsourced developers?

Let's be real—marketing your horse business can feel like a full-time job on top of, well, your actual full-time job running the business. And while AI can't muck stalls or feed horses (yet!), it can help you save time and get more done when it comes to your marketing.But before you start asking ChatGPT to run your business for you, let's get one thing straight: AI is a tool, not a magic wand.

How is your organization navigating regulatory uncertainty in 2025? Are you leveraging advancements in technology to help achieve your goals? Our guest this week is Chris Maguire, the General Manager for Corporates Risk at Thomson Reuters. [3:06] We are going to talk about how technology is driving innovation in compliance, risk, and legal. We will talk about how AI and predictive analytics are reshaping corporate legal and compliance functions, and more. Let's get to it! [3:22] Interview! Chris Maguire, welcome to RIMScast! [3:29] Chris Maguire started in a Big Four firm in the '90s, in the auto practice. It was a great way to learn business and how they worked, focusing on understanding financial controls and risk, and how to make sure that companies were behaving correctly. [3:59] After an MBA, Chris started working for Thomson Reuters. He has been with them for about 20 years in the legal tech space. He started on the strategy side and transitioned after several years to driving the commercial teams in the risk business. [4:24] Now, Chris has the role of looking at product and industry strategy for corporations. Thomson Reuters is at the intersection of legal, risk, and compliance, and how they affect enterprises. [5:07] Chris says that 20 years ago, AI was not a fast-moving industry. There have been dramatic changes in the last few years. AI adoption by Thomson Reuters customers has doubled in the last year. Generative AI has been seen in a wide range of tasks. It started with drafting NDAs. [5:38] Salespeople are always asking for NDAs and how they can be drafted more quickly and easily. Now AI conducts legal research or helps draft a research memo or a complaint from a particular point of view. We're seeing it in drafting HR employment policies and rote tasks. [6:21] Chris explains the use of AI prompts tied to data sources, such as your data, data from Thomson Reuters, or other data providers. Chris is also seeing big data AI used a lot in analyzing outside spending and looking for cost savings. [7:14] Chris tells how AI helps in decision-making, using the example of knowing the vendors you choose for your supply chain and knowing your customers. AI can weed through all the news out there to make sure you're not dealing with a sanctioned entity. [8:22] AI can help with reputation risk. Is there forced labor in your supply chain? That matters to your reputation. It's not just whether a country is sanctioned, but what the individual entities in your supply chain are doing. There's a lot of focus on reputation today. [9:10] Justin recently had the Chief Impact Officer of EcoVadis on RIMScast Episode 329. They talked about forced labor and human trafficking in the supply chain. Use AI to help identify where forced labor and human trafficking are big risks, avoid them, and report them. [9:35] This is important on the corporate side and the government side of the business. Chris says it will be interesting to see the effect of tariffs. Thomson Reuters has updated about 50 million changes to its global trade products so far this year, compared to 100 million in 2024. [10:16] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! We are back on May 22nd, with GRC, a TÜV SÜD Company, and their newest session, “Asset Valuations in 2025: Managing Tariffs, Inflation, and Rising Insurance Scrutiny”. [10:33] On June 5th, Zywave joins us to discuss “Today's Escalating Risk Trajectory: What's the Cause and What's the Solution?”. [10:413] On June 17th, Origami Risk returns to present “Strategic Risk Financing in an Unstable Economy: Leveraging Technology for Efficiency and Cost Reduction”. [10:54] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/Webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [11:05] Spencer Educational Foundation's Grants program is starting soon. Spencer's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [11:23] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in General Grants to support over 130 student-centered experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process is now open through July 30th, 2025. [11:43] General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. Learn more about Spencer's General Grants through the Programs tab of SpencerEd.org. [11:54] Back to the Conclusion of my Interview with Chris Maguire of Thomson Reuters! [12:27] Chris refers to RIMScast Episode 335 with Jeff from Academy Sports. Jeff talked about how the Compliance function now sits in the General Counsel's office. At Thomson Reuters, more of the Compliance group has moved into the General Counsel's office in the last year. [12:48] The General Counsels are being charged with understanding the full weight of risk across an organization, from reputational risk to who you should or should not do business with. [13:16] The Sales organization at Thomson Reuters has discussed that a lot with the GC office, from a reputation, sanctions, and everything perspective. A lot of GC offices now include the Compliance role. [13:50] Chris's ERM philosophy is Trust. Companies need to trust who they are doing business with. Companies need to trust that their employees have what they need to make decisions not to deal with a risky customer, but to follow the laws and rules of global companies. It's trust. [14:29] There is so much change going on. Chris talks about values that resonate. One Thomson Reuters value is Act Fast, Learn Fast. You have to move and learn. Companies can help you, but it is on individuals to take the responsibility to act fast and learn fast about what is changing. [14:59] Thomson Reuters is bound by the Trust Principles. It started with Reuters in the 1940s around WWII, but it goes back to its 150 years of legal content. [15:17] The information Thomson Reuters provides its customers has to be free from bias. It has to be right. It has to be updated. It can't be an opinion about a philosophy. It has to be fact-based. It has to provide customers with the information they need to get work done. [15:36] Applying AI on top of trusted, unbiased, correct, up-to-date information is going to be vital, moving forward. Act fast, learn fast, and trust. [15:57] Chris believes the legal industry hasn't always been the fastest-moving industry. The technology is now there to allow us to move more quickly and learn more quickly. That's an exciting thing! [16:23] Chris says AI is no longer a future concept. It's here. It's transforming our lives; it's starting to transform our business environment. If you don't adapt quickly, you're going to be at a significant disadvantage. [16:36] For people in General Counsel's offices, people in compliance functions, the value is your expertise, your knowledge, and you as a human, and what you can bring to the situation. [16:48] If AI can help you get there, and give you a platform on which to add your judgment and expertise, knowledge, and professional opinion, that's a hugely valuable thing. [17:01] Thomson Reuters doesn't see AI taking away jobs. We see people who use AI, potentially taking away the jobs of people who don't use AI. It all comes back to the humans and how they use it. There's never been a time when Thomson Reuter's expertise has been more important. [17:34] Chris, it has been such a pleasure to have you here on RIMScast!

Have you ever felt like you don't have enough time to blog consistently? What if I told you that you could successfully run your blog in just five hours a week? https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode196 In this week's episode of Creatives on Fire, we're diving into how to work smarter—not harder—with a blogger's take on the five hour work week. Inspired by Tim Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek, this strategy is all about simplifying your workflow, focusing on what moves the needle, and creating consistent momentum. Let's break down how you can make blogging fit into your schedule—one hour a day. Can Blogging in Five Hours a Week Actually Work? Yes, my friend, it absolutely can. The key to making this work is consistency. You don't need endless hours or a huge audience to start building a profitable blog—you need a plan, a routine, and the discipline to stick to it. Step One: Make a Plan The first step is to map out what each hour of your blogging week will look like. Break the work into five main buckets and assign one task to each weekday. Monday: Draft Your Post Spend your hour outlining and drafting your blog post inside WordPress. This includes doing keyword research and writing your SEO title and headers. Use AI to speed things up if you need to. Tuesday: Create the Content Use this hour to bring your content to life. Take step-by-step photos, shoot a video, bake the recipe, or go live with a related tutorial. This is your creation day. Wednesday: Assemble and Schedule the Post Now that you've drafted and created, pull everything together. Upload your images, polish your post, and schedule it to publish next week—so you're always ahead. Thursday: Schedule the Promotions Use this hour to create your Pinterest pins, schedule your social media posts, and write the email that will promote your post. Everything should be prepped for the following week. Friday: Record and Schedule Video Content Optional—but powerful. Use this time to record and schedule your reels, short-form videos, or YouTube content related to your blog post. Step Two: Make It Predictable The real secret? Make your blogging time non-negotiable. Pick a time each day that works best for your life (early mornings are gold!) and show up like it's an appointment you can't miss. Tips for staying consistent: Block your hour on your calendar Use a “Blogging” tab group to reduce distractions Work ahead, not behind Create muscle memory—same routine, same time every day Step Three: Make It a Priority You already know blogging can generate consistent income—ads, affiliate commissions, product sales, and email growth all stem from regular publishing. So ask yourself: If I knew this would work, would I make it a priority? Once you've made the decision to treat your blog like a business, it becomes easier to commit to the five hour framework. Over time, your one hour a day builds lasting success, and that boring, consistent effort becomes your biggest advantage. What If You Want to Blog More Than Once a Week? If you're posting multiple times a week, just double the time. Two blog posts = two hours a day. But here's the beauty of batching—your efficiency will skyrocket. Once you get in the flow, you'll find you can prep several posts at once in even less time. As with anything in business: what's hard at first becomes easier with repetition. Final Thoughts: Boring Work Becomes Brilliant Success Building a successful blog isn't about flashy hacks—it's about consistent action done well over time. With the Five Hour Work Week, you can simplify your process, eliminate decision fatigue, and create sustainable income without burnout. Just remember: Make the plan Make it predictable Make it a priority Because boring work done consistently leads to extraordinary results. Let me know—are you in for the five hour work week? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments over on the blog. Until next time, stay creative.

Instead of relying on generic AI tools that promise top rankings, he advocates for a smarter, more personal approach: creating helpful blog content by documenting what you do.

Drill Down into Buyer Personas Know their lifestyle, not just their budget. Break down buyer types into motivations, life stage, and emotional triggers. The more personal your messaging, the more powerful your results. 4. Use AI to Enhance, Not Replace AI is your assistant—not your voice. Personalize outputs with detailed prompts that reflect your brand tone. Use AI for story refinement, persona mapping, and message clarity—not copy/paste posts. 5. Trust Comes from Authenticity Over Time Your story needs to be yours. Perfection is boring—show up human and real. People resonate more with your worst video than your most polished one. 6. Content That Connects > Content That Sells Market to the customer's journey, not your résumé. Tell stories of past client transformations—not just property specs. Bonus Concepts Beware of AI Sameness: Without intention, AI outputs will make your brand blend in—not stand out. Social Media Is the Skill That Elevates Everything: Improving your content helps you sell, lead, negotiate, and relate better. Branding is Gardening: Prune distractions, nurture key assets, and design for growth. If You Experiment Enough, Success Becomes Inevitable: Action over perfection. Be Kind. Help People. These are your most powerful brand values—always.

This question sits at the heart of today's digital marketing landscape.I dive deep into the practical realities of using AI tools like ChatGPT in your content strategy. Rather than viewing AI as a replacement for your unique voice, I show you how to leverage it as a powerful assistant that amplifies your expertise while saving precious time and resources.

Is AI your new accountability partner… or just another shiny distraction? In this episode, I'm sharing a real, nuanced conversation about the rise of AI tools—how they can support your goals, where they fall short, and why none of it matters if you're still skipping the root work. I use AI. I love it. It's smart, fast, and powerful. But I'm seeing more and more people treat it like a replacement for coaching, for community, for consistency—and that's where things get dangerous.
