Think about the last thing you almost bought and did not. You picked it up, you looked at it, you put it back down. You had a reason for choosing one item over its competitors, and you know exactly what it was. Did anybody ever ask you why you didn't choose the loser? Of course not. And somebody did the same thing to you this week. Something you made, or wrote, or suggested. An idea you put into a meeting that got a polite nod and then went nowhere. They considered it, decided against it, and you never found out the real reason. Almost everything that comes back to you comes from the people who said yes. Inside a business, the machinery makes that official. Satisfaction surveys go to people who have bought. Reviews come from people who have bought. The customer list is a list of people who have bought. The one who put it back down is invisible to all of it, and that person is holding the answer. So, where do you point a question to reach somebody who is not there? Last week, we took a question apart and rebuilt it. But a well-made question aimed at the wrong thing comes back empty. Where you point a question is the other half of the skill. Forty-two cards of Killer Questions A killer question is one that has been tested and proven to spark ideas beyond the obvious. The name comes from the old phrase "killer app," where "killer" meant standout, not lethal. I built this collection of questions the slow way. I designed structured tests into my innovation workshops, which I was running: specific questions put to specific groups, and a record of what each produced. The rule for keeping a question was that it had to trigger something in that room. Did somebody walk out seeing their customer, their product, or the way they work differently than when they walked in? If nothing moved, the question was cut. If there was a good idea underneath one and I had simply worded it badly, I rewrote it and ran it again in another workshop. There were hundreds of questions, and most did not survive. Forty-two did. When I sorted the survivors, they fell into three groups. Not by subject. By where they aim your thinking.  Three places to aim Every question in the deck points to one of three things. Who, what, and how. WHO is the person or organization who will benefit from what you make. Usually, your customer, though the gap between "usually" and "always" is where a lot of new business hides. WHAT is the product, the service, the solution that creates the value for the WHO. HOW is the way your organization builds, delivers, and supports the WHAT for the WHO. Three places an idea can come from, and the questions exist to send you into each one on purpose rather than by accident. The cards all say "product." Read that as whatever you make for somebody else. A service counts. So does a proposal you hand to your boss. Thirteen of my cards aim at WHO. Thirteen at WHAT. Sixteen at HOW. That split was never a plan. It is where the questions that kept surviving pointed, and eventually, I stopped arguing with it. WHO What are your unshakable beliefs about what your customers want? The phone companies believed their customers wanted reliability above all else, and they were right. For a century, they built toward 99.999 percent uptime. A dial tone that worked in a storm, in a power failure, always. Then somebody turned that belief over and looked at it with no assumptions about what the customer wanted. Where were there people who would give up call quality for something else? That is the question that led to voice over IP, a phone call carried over the internet. In the early days, it sounded terrible. Calls dropped. By the standard the old industry had spent a century perfecting, VoIP was not a serious product. But underneath it sat an idea nobody in that industry had allowed themselves to consider: that many people would trade call quality for price and mobility, and would do so happily. They did. That market opportunity existed before anyone built it, waiting for someone willing to challenge the old standard on its head.  WHAT What is surprisingly inconvenient about my product? It does not ask whether the product is good. Your team will defend that all day, and they will be partly right, which will only make the conversation worse. Surprisingly inconvenient means some part of using your product that nobody inside your company has ever seen a real person struggle with. The fifteen minutes with the instructions. The step everyone on your team skips automatically because they built the thing. On the back of that card sits the shortest useful question I own: "Do you use your own product yourself?" Hold on to this one. In a few minutes, it turns up at a Best Buy, and the strange part is that I wasn't aiming at it when I found it. HOW What do people not like about the buying experience for my product? For the whole time I was CTO at HP, I spent nearly every Saturday in a Best Buy. While traveling, I found a local electronics store in whatever country I was in. I was not shopping. I was standing in the aisle watching strangers choose, because this question has no other answer. You cannot survey somebody who did not buy.  My family called it my "digital stalking". My kids would have done almost anything else rather than be seen with me in a Best Buy on a Saturday. When somebody picked up a competitor's product and headed for the checkout, I would walk over, introduce myself, and ask what made them choose that one. I did it long enough that the sales staff around Silicon Valley knew me, and would change how they talked to a customer if they saw me standing there. Stay somewhere long enough, and you stop being an observer. You influence what you are measuring. Then came the Saturday that changed a product. A customer set down an HP laptop and bought a competitor's. I asked him why. He told me he could not see the keys. This was during the stretch when every laptop was going aluminum, and somebody in our laptop group had given ours a chrome-looking keyboard. High gloss. On a store shelf, it looked expensive, which is exactly what it was designed to do. It also meant that anyone whose eyesight had started to go could not read the letters on it. Sales on that product had been running under plan, and nothing in the data said why. We changed the keyboard back to matte black with high contrast white lettering. Sales went up on that one change. No survey would have revealed the issue. By the time he told me, he was already somebody else's customer. Notice what that question actually turned up. I went into the store carrying a HOW question about the buying experience. What came back was a WHAT answer, something surprisingly. Inconvenient about the product itself. You choose where to aim. You do not choose where the answer comes from. Testing for Great Questions How do you find and test great questions? Ask the question, then watch what happens in the next four seconds. If the room goes quiet, and then somebody says, "Hang on," you are holding a good one. That pause is the sound of a person arriving somewhere they have not been. You just unleashed a great question. If someone answers immediately and confidently, the question isn't that great. A fast answer means you aimed where the team has already been, and they are reciting. I threw away hundreds that way and got down to the questions that caused impact. Practice Exercise  Take a decision you are facing this month and give it ninety minutes. Start with whichever of the three you are least comfortable with, which for most people is HOW. Take a question from it at random. Do not hunt for the one you like, because the one you like is the one you have already answered. Set a timer for thirty minutes and write down every idea that question produces. No judging, no editing, just quantity. Then do the same thing with a question aimed at your customer, and again with one aimed at the product. When you have worked through all three, read back over everything and pick the best three ideas to start on. That is how you run it on your own. If you would rather do it with a team, there is a second version designed for groups of 4 to 6 people. Both are written out step by step on killerquestions.com, so you are not working from memory. You can buy the deck at innovation.tools, either as printed cards or as a digital download for your phone, tablet, or PC.  Send me the question that worked best for you. I am also still on the search for new questions for volume 2 of the card deck. Send your suggestions, and they might just be included. That closes out this three-part series on questions. If you came in at the end, part one is about why you cannot stop yourself from answering a question, and part two is about how a single word inside a question steers the answer you get back. The next episode is about abductive thinking. Deduction hands you a conclusion you can prove. Induction hands you a pattern you can bet on. Abduction is what you reach for when you have neither and still have to decide, which is most of the time. It is how a doctor arrives at a diagnosis, and it is how most real innovation actually happens. Subscribe wherever you watch or listen, and you will get that one when it lands.

In this interview, a throwdown between Aristotelian and Platonic philosophy of personal growth, with Steve Barton, a Gestalt psychology-trained High-Performance Executive Coach, and he's the author of The Father, the Son, and the Aha Moment--which I read as I'm a new-ish dad. The book, which is really about mindset, has some good insights, but I disagreed with a few of its fundamental suppositions. It's a bit too Platonic for my tastes, but I invited Steve on the podcast for a bit of friendly disagreement...04:20 The Game of Ten: Foundations and Philosophy08:19 Radical Self-Acceptance and Divine Consciousness13:11 Boundaries, Agreements, and Relationship Dynamics19:55 Genetic Predispositions and Self-Awareness24:46 Biohacking and Emotional Resilience Strategies33:52 Case Study: PTSD and Contracting with Self41:13 The Power of Forgiveness and Letting Go50:58 Unconditional Love, Boundaries, and Self-Protection01:00:27 The Role of Brain Training and Biohacking01:10:04 Practical Applications and Client Success Stories01:14:59 Final Message for Future GenerationsFor everything mentioned here, read: Aristotelian vs Platonic Personal Growth

For over 125 years, Farmers Mutual Telephone Company (FMTC) has helped connect rural Iowa—first with telephones, then cable television, cellular service, broadband internet, and now preparing for what may become agriculture's next major infrastructure investment: AI computing. In this episode, Kevin shares how a small rural telephone company evolved into a modern broadband provider and why Iowa's independent telecommunications companies have been uniquely positioned to bring fiber internet to rural communities long before much of the country caught up. He explains how fiber optic networks work, why broadband is becoming just as essential as electricity, and why nearly every modern technology—from cellular service to Starlink—ultimately depends on fiber somewhere along the journey. The conversation then turns toward one of the fastest-growing topics in technology: artificial intelligence. Kevin explains why AI is creating unprecedented demand for computing power, what massive data centers mean for energy and infrastructure, and why he believes the future isn't giant facilities consuming thousands of acres—but rather distributed micro data centers that could fit on a single lot while serving customers around the world. The hosts also tackle concerns many farmers have about large data centers, including land use, energy consumption, and local economic impact. Kevin discusses how smaller AI computing facilities could create new opportunities without removing productive farmland while giving farmers more control over their own data. The discussion explores whether producers could someday "farm data" just like they market grain—owning, storing, and deciding when and how to monetize one of their operation's fastest-growing assets. Along the way, you'll also hear: How the internet actually reaches your farm Why symmetrical upload and download speeds matter The differences between fiber, cellular, and Starlink The future of precision agriculture and AI Why protecting farm data may become just as important as protecting grain in the bin Whether fiber optics will ever be replaced If you've ever wondered how technology is reshaping agriculture—or where rural America fits into the AI revolution—this episode offers a fascinating look at what's coming next.

A 2025 UK ruling changed everything for legal professionals. Messages sent from a solicitor's private device are now considered disclosable client file material, and suddenly that WhatsApp message you fired off after hours is no longer just a casual note.Ajay Shamdasani sits down with Martin Nygate, founder of Velox Networks, to unpack what this means for law firms navigating a world where personal and professional communication constantly blur together. The stakes are real and genuinely alarming. Off-channel communication breaches are at record levels, and ransomware attacks are costing law firms an average of $5 million per incident.Interestingly, the conversation goes beyond the obvious risks. How can firms actually fulfill their duty of care when employees are using their own devices anyway?The answer, according to Nygate, lies in cloud-based telephony platforms that keep business communications behind corporate firewalls while still letting staff use personal phones. (WhatsApp for Business gets a surprisingly thorough treatment here too.) Because when an employee leaves, you do not want to lose the data along with them. That is both a security concern and a regulatory one.If your firm is still running on outdated PABX systems and hoping nobody notices, this conversation is worth your time.Our GuestMartin NygateMartin is the Co-Founder & CEO, Velox Networks. A seasoned entrepreneur with a penchant for start-up success, Martin has made a career out of delivering profitable high-tech sales and communications solutions to the maritime and software industries, spanning Asia and Europe.Product expertise includes CRM, ERP, CCTV, SIM card, banking and voice over internet protocol (VoIP) software. Martin was the driving force behind the highly popular nanu app that achieved dramatic growth with Daily Active Usage Rates of 18% and Monthly Active Usage Rates of 44%.In 2017, Martin co-founded Velox Networks Pte Ltd, a licensed telecommunications service provider in Singapore that is extending the VoIP revolution to SME's by offering a fully featured cloud based PBX with zero capital investment. With a rapidly growing customer base, the company was profitable within 8 months of launch.Recently, he also co-founded and launched Call2 Global Ltd. Call2 is a revolutionary web-calling platform that lets businesses receive free, unlimited inbound calls directly through a browser widget—eliminating costly toll-free numbers and complex phone systems. With built-in analytics, call management,  global accessibility, and AI integration capabilities,  Call2 simplifies and scales business communications worldwide.Our HostAjay ShamdasaniAjay Shamdasani is a veteran writer, editor and researcher based in Hong Kong. He holds an AB in history and government from Ripon College, JD and MIPCT degrees from the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce Law School, and an LLM in financial regulation from the Illinois Institute of Technology's Chicago-Kent College of Law.His 15-year long career as a financial and legal journalist began as deputy editor of A Plus magazine – the journal of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. From there, he assumed the helm of Macau Business magazine as its editor-in-chief, and later, joined Asialaw magazine as its deputy editor.More recently, he spent close to seven years as a senior correspondent with Thomson Reuters' subscription-based trade-wire service Regulatory Intelligence/Compliance Complete (previously called Complinet) in Hong Kong. While there, he covered regulatory developments in that city, as well as Singapore, India and South Korea.

In this episode, we sit down with Dan Crabill to explore how he went from struggling through seven jobs in just two and a half years to building and successfully exiting a Voice over IP (VoIP) company. Dan shares how finding the right opportunity, focusing on underserved small and mid-sized businesses, and consistently delivering exceptional customer service helped his company grow to support over 30,000 endpoints before its acquisition. He also explains how networking, strategic positioning, and understanding changing market trends allowed him to build a business that stood out in an increasingly competitive telecommunications industry.The conversation also dives into what truly makes a business valuable. Dan explains why systems, standard operating procedures (SOPs), customer retention, and company culture became the foundation of his success. He shares how giving employees the freedom to make mistakes, hiring people for mindset rather than experience, and continuously improving internal processes helped create a business that could operate efficiently without relying on its founders. The discussion also covers sales strategies, referral partnerships, networking, and why building relationships often generates better long-term results than relying solely on cold outreach.Beyond building and selling a business, Dan discusses what entrepreneurs should do long before they think about an exit. He shares practical advice on preparing financial records, increasing company value, negotiating EBITDA multiples, managing due diligence, and reducing buyer risk before taking a business to market.===Key Topics:-Building a successful VoIP business from startup to acquisition-Why systems and SOPs are the foundation of scalable companies-Growing through networking, referrals, and relationship-based sales-Building a high-retention business that buyers want to acquire-Preparing a company for a successful exit and maximizing business value-Leadership, delegation, and creating a culture that drives long-term growth===If you're selling land and still relying on Facebook messages, you're making it harder than it needs to be. Acrefy helps land investors create clean, professional dispo websites where buyers can see everything in one place. It saves time, looks legit, and helps you close faster.

By Doug Green “The AI can only do so much.” Organizations are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, CRM automation, call recording, transcription and customer-experience analytics. But according to Mike Wehrs, Chief Operating Officer at TieTechnology, many are overlooking the first and most important link in that technology chain: the device capturing the conversation. In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Wehrs explains that AI cannot overcome poor information at the source. “If you don't get those underlying data sets cleaned up, the AI can only do so much,” Wehrs says. “It can't make up information. If it does, we call that hallucination—and generally, that's not a good thing.” TieTechnology provides business-grade VoIP and communications services, but its role extends beyond simply connecting or recording calls. The company can process conversations, transcribe them, analyze sentiment, summarize the interaction and place the resulting information into a customer's CRM platform. That makes the quality of the original audio increasingly important. A conversation is no longer something that is simply heard by two people. It can become searchable business data used for customer records, sales intelligence, compliance, employee coaching and AI-driven decision-making. Yet the headset or microphone capturing that conversation may receive very little consideration. “The people who do that are the same people who are ordering your coffee,” Wehrs says, describing how headsets are frequently selected without input from IT teams, speech-recognition specialists or the people responsible for AI and analytics. A low-quality headset may still allow two people to understand one another. That does not mean the recording is suitable for transcription, sentiment analysis or business-intelligence applications. “If you're looking to make it searchable in a database and be able to run BI reports on it, that is nowhere close to the bar,” Wehrs says. The challenge becomes even greater in modern offices where organizations are using multiple wireless devices, Bluetooth headsets and Wi-Fi networks. What appears to be a phone-system, application or network problem may actually be interference or an unsuitable endpoint. TieTechnology helps businesses evaluate the complete communications environment, including employee roles, mobility requirements, workplace conditions and the applications that will rely on the captured voice data. The objective is not necessarily to purchase the most expensive device. It is to select technology that is fit for its intended purpose. “If the garbage that I get on the inbound, no matter how much I process it, I can't make it less than garbage on the way out,” Wehrs says. For businesses hoping to gain more value from AI, the lesson is straightforward: better results begin with better inputs. “Improve the headsets that you've got that you're letting your reps talk on,” Wehrs says. Listen to the podcast to learn why microphones and headsets should be viewed not simply as communications endpoints, but as data-acquisition tools at the foundation of the AI technology stack.

Happiness is the enemy of the future. Happiness is like a mirage in the desert; it eludes your grasp when you most strive for it. And yet, in my first book, I wrote about how…“I've found the happiness that I didn't give a damn about…”Here I'll break down why not giving a damn about happiness makes you happier, quantitatively and qualitatively.

IT modernization carries unanticipated risks. Take operational technology, or OT, as an example. As modernization has increased the number of OT and IoT assets across many federal locations, it has also introduced new vulnerabilities. Federal leaders are warning that the situation has reached a tipping point. CISA maintains a growing list of vulnerabilities, and the NSA has issued warnings about OT and IoT risks. A recent SANS report indicated a 20% increase in confirmed OT attacks. To explore these challenges, we sit down with Chris Grove, Director of Cybersecurity Strategy at Nozomi Networks, to discuss the cyber-physical security challenges facing the federal government, particularly the modernization of older OT systems. He highlighted the difficulties in maintaining asset inventories, the impact of AI in both attacks and defenses, and the complexities of implementing zero trust in OT environments. During the interview, Grove addresses topics such as remote access, older technology not designed for updates, and OT devices that move around on ships and planes. Thirty years ago, "unified communication" was introduced by technology like VoIP. With the proliferation of OT devices, Grove recommends a unified security architecture. Grove emphasized the importance of resilience and the need for AI-enhanced tools to manage alerts and anomalies effectively. He also noted growing concerns about drone security and the significant workload expected to result from AI-discovered vulnerabilities.

Civilization is starving for macro-innovation. For our species to pass Fermi's great filter in the next few centuries, we need more of the kinds of scientific breakthroughs that occurred in the 20th century.

John Dalrymple, Founder and CEO of Mobex, joined Technology Reseller News Publisher Doug Green to discuss how organizations can bring business voice, SMS, WhatsApp, and Microsoft Teams together into a single, compliant communications platform. Mobex, a member of the Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA), helps businesses simplify communications while improving management, security, and productivity. Dalrymple explained that while business communications have expanded far beyond traditional voice calls, many organizations still struggle with disconnected tools and unmanaged mobile communications. Mobex addresses this challenge by integrating business calling, SMS, and WhatsApp directly into Microsoft Teams and VoIP environments, creating what he described as a “single pane of glass” for enterprise communications. “We try to help our clients integrate those communication channels into what makes sense for them in their workflow and work process,” Dalrymple said. A key benefit is improved compliance and governance. Rather than employees conducting business conversations on personal devices outside company oversight, Mobex enables organizations to route business communications through managed platforms that support recording, AI transcription, compliance requirements, and centralized management. The platform also provides business eSIM capabilities, allowing employees to separate personal and business communications while retaining native mobile phone functionality. Dalrymple also highlighted opportunities for MSPs and channel partners. Because many already deploy Microsoft Teams, Mobex can be added as an integrated solution for business calling, texting, WhatsApp, compliance, and call recording, creating new recurring revenue opportunities with minimal deployment complexity. The company has also expanded into the UK, where WhatsApp plays a larger role in business communications than traditional SMS. Learn more: https://www.mobex.biz/

The dominant structural mechanism explored in this episode centers on governance gaps in access management and the resulting liability transfer to MSPs. The discussion highlights how fragmented identity stacks, unmanaged access, and reliance on manual tracking expose MSPs to growing contractual, operational, and legal risk. Companies and technologies referenced include Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta, ConnectWise, and specific access governance solutions targeting the channel. The ConnectWise 2026 Threat Report identifies credential abuse as a core attack vector, underscoring how unaddressed authorization and access drift remain a structural exposure area. The episode cites multiple indicators and supporting data. According to the ConnectWise 2026 Threat Report, credential abuse is now the primary attack vector, with attackers commonly exploiting active and orphaned accounts left unmanaged in client environments. Fragmented identity stacks complicate the onboarding and offboarding process, with onboarding often requiring 45 minutes per client as technicians navigate numerous access portals. The prevalence of shadow IT, orphaned accounts, and missed deprovisioning windows was discussed as persistent drivers of both operational overhead and increased incident risk. Supporting developments include community-documented scenarios where multi-factor authentication (MFA) was present but insufficient to prevent breaches, particularly when privilege escalation or temporary exclusions remain unaddressed. Examples such as the Reddit phishing event and Microsoft's handling of MFA via VOIP demonstrate how authentication is distinct from governance, and that temporary access or exceptions frequently become permanent, heightening exposure. Regulatory environments—including healthcare, finance, and government—were cited as adding further requirements for explicit governance controls and auditable access policies, while manual spreadsheet tracking often fails to meet these demands. The operational implications for MSPs include the need to move beyond basic practice such as MFA and endpoint protection, toward purpose-built tools and processes that provide continual visibility, auditable controls, and policy enforcement for client access. Without this, MSPs face increased administrative burden, billing discrepancies, contractual liability, and reputational risk. As regulatory audits become more demanding and clients demand clearer evidence of governance, service providers must reconcile the tradeoffs between increased process complexity and the need for automated, enforceable identity governance. This shift challenges existing pricing models, requiring MSPs to justify and potentially repackage their service offerings in the context of risk management and operational maturity.

Hydrogen might just be the molecule "closest to God," as this element sits precisely on the razor-thin border where raw cosmic energy condenses into physical matter. But what happens when you take this cosmic ghost molecule, supercharge it with bioavailable electrons, and introduce it to a modern biological system? What happens when the fundamental building block of the universe meets a human body working to overcome the vascular strain, metabolic stress, and environmental tax of modern life?We aren't just talking about a gas today. We are talking about the fourth state of water, a selective antioxidant capable of rewriting cellular communication, and an independent inventor who has spent decades unlocking its secrets. George Wiseman is the visionary creator of the AquaCure device (which I started using recently).

"Poseidon's massive trident was broken; it protruded at an obtuse angle from the rubble of the temple. Icicles hung from its three prongs that no longer avariciously pointed heavenward. Xavier shuddered and pulled the fur layers tighter around him against the cutting cold of the gale as he raised his eyes from the trident to behold the desolation of Atlantis." - The opening line of the sequel to my magnum opus work of fiction, Hourglass #2: The Trident, The Tachyon & The TemptressThis chapter teases a provocative premise: Might the individual man's mastery of his lust mirror cosmic cycles of civilizational destruction? And that premise will stalk you throughout the novel; from a VR simulation of the Atlantean empire, to courtroom drama and shocking revelations in the Swiss Alps, to the epic conclusion of the Hourglass saga aboard a luxurious zeppelin where a decadent “Eyes Wide Shut” party ascends above CERN.Order Novel [Audiobook Included]

On February 4th, the Guthrie children posted a video on Instagram begging for their mother's safe return. That same day, Derrick Callella of Hawthorne, California sent two text messages to Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni: “Did you get the bitcoin were waiting on our end for the transaction.” The FBI arrested him the next day. He used a consumer VOIP app linked to his personal Gmail. The IP address traced to his home. He admitted everything — he had no connection to the case, no information about Nancy. He watched the news and decided to see if a grieving family would pay. FBI Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke called him a total imposter. Callella now faces federal charges with a trial set in Tucson. And the other ransom notes follow the same pattern. No proof of life. Deadlines that pass. Demands for far less than the 1.2 million dollar reward. One sender told TMZ Nancy was dead, then said she was alive in Mexico — same sender, back-to-back messages. Former FBI hostage negotiator Chuck Vecchi explained that real kidnap-for-ransom cases are private and always include proof of life. These notes match opportunism, not kidnapping. Tony Brueski examines the full evidence behind the ransom theory in the final episode of a five-part series.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The ransom notes in the Nancy Guthrie case demanded one Bitcoin, worth roughly seventy thousand dollars at the time. The reward for information about Nancy's disappearance stands at 1.2 million dollars. If you actually know where Nancy Guthrie is, you don't demand a fraction of what you could earn legally by providing real information to the FBI. The math only makes sense if you have nothing to trade. That's the pattern behind every ransom communication in this case. Notes sent to media outlets instead of the family. No proof of life despite the family begging for it. Deadlines that pass without consequence. Derrick Callella was arrested within 24 hours of sending fake ransom texts — he used a VOIP app linked to his own email, texted the family from his California home, and admitted he had no connection to the case. One anonymous sender told TMZ Nancy was dead in one message, then claimed she was alive in Mexico in the next. Same sender. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer called it a campaign of terror and said the senders are chasing a single Bitcoin because they're lying about having real information. Tony Brueski walks through the evidence and the emotional weight of a theory that feeds on hope.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Missed calls, staffing shortages, and phone fatigue can create a front office bottleneck that affects both the patient experience and practice production. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with Richard May of Mango Voice about how modern VoIP systems and AI receptionists can help dental practices answer more calls, streamline scheduling, document patient conversations, and reduce administrative workload without eliminating the human relationships patients need.Learn where AI is most useful, which conversations should remain with team members, and how practices can evaluate these tools responsibly. To improve your phone workflow and reduce pressure on your front office, listen to Episode 1062 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Front office bottlenecks occur when team members must manage ringing phones, arriving patients, scheduling requests, insurance questions, and payments at the same time.Missed calls can represent lost new-patient opportunities and make it difficult for practices to measure the production they are losing.An AI receptionist can answer simultaneous calls, schedule selected appointments, respond to common questions, and filter spam or irrelevant calls.AI tools should be customized with accurate practice information and used as an extension of the team rather than a replacement for every human interaction.Phone integrations with practice management software can identify callers, open patient profiles, create conversation summaries, and reduce manual documentation.Payment disputes, detailed insurance questions, sensitive family concerns, and treatment conversations still require human judgment and empathy.Modern VoIP systems can use mobile applications and cellular data to keep business calls operating during an internet outage.Snippets:00:00 The front office bottleneck in dental practices.01:27 Meet Richard May04:18 How competing front office demands create workflow bottlenecks.06:21 Phone fatigue and the impact of missed calls.08:33 How an AI receptionist handles simultaneous and after-hours calls.10:09 Addressing concerns about AI representing the practice.15:09 Why dentists underestimate the importance of their phone systems.16:39 How patient expectations influence which dental practice they choose.19:10 Using transcripts, keyword searches, and automated patient notes.21:21 The staffing crisis and AI-supported administrative work.23:26 Which tasks should remain human.26:40 How AI can triage after-hours and emergency calls.29:20 How VoIP reliability and mobile applications have improved.31:32 Final considerations for adopting AI in the dental practice.34:24 How to test Margo and schedule a Mango Voice demonstration.Guest Bio/Guest ResourcesRichard has had a fulfilling career in public health, where he spent a decade dedicated to improving community wellness, health education, and preventive care.

One of the BIGGEST names in the Biohacking/health/fitness space REFUSED a 90-second collaboration with me because I have less than 100k followers. That's luridly lame, isn't it?The biggest influencer I know is Dr. Hany Demian. He currently has around 20,000 followers and probably wouldn't love being called an "influencer." When I interviewed him on my podcast last year, he had just 400 Instagram followers, but even then, he was vastly and profoundly more influential than the social media stars with five and six-figure followings in the Biohacking/health/personal growth space. Here's why: he operates a cutting-edge regenerative medicine practice that has treated hundreds of thousands of patients - liberating them from daily chronic pain.Read

Nicotinic acid, in its various forms, is the subject of a fairly heated debate over its fantastic properties when it comes to anti-aging, Schizophrenia, alcoholism, and trauma. This vitamin falls under the shadow of Dr. Abram Hoffer, a hotly debated character in the annals of psychiatric history. Conspiracy theories about the pharmaceutical-psychiatric industrial complex abound regarding Dr. Hoffer's ostensibly debunked studies. What's not debated is that he was a quintessential healer and highly committed to the advancement of orthomolecular medicine.I've been taking it for years; it's one of the most affordable anti-aging agents, and I think it's one of the best supplements to include in your daily stack.5:00 Scientific Research5:33 Niacin vs Niacinamide vs Nicotinamide7:13 The Niacin Flush9:16 History11:12 Vs Schizophrenia13:13 Vs Alcoholism16:16 For Trauma Survivors18:32 The B Vitamin from Outer Space?19:12 Antiaging Mechanism21:13 Obesity vs Antiaging23:45 Cognition25:09 Got wifi?

In the technocratic dystopia of modernity, things are undeniably grim, and they are getting worse at an accelerating rate.This is not merely an observation for the hopelessly naive normie who still believes the evening news; it is a reality that even the most savvy lifehacker must confront daily. We find ourselves trapped in a pincer movement of economic instability and biological decline. If you are a Millennial or a member of Gen Z (I shall dub thee: Gen Zer), looking at the sordid state of affairs and deliberating between the career options of selling your body on OnlyFans, becoming some specie of online scammer/grifter, or signing up to die in some utterly pointless foreign war, I have a contrarian option for you...For every mentioned here, read: A personal pragmatic solution to the "everything crisis"

Think online scams and shams are easily spotted? Welcome to the current year: AI and deepfakes make deception virtually indistinguishable from reality. Robert Siciliano, a world-class security analyst and strategist, reveals how hyper-realistic AI avatars, synthetic voice overlays, and emotionally manipulative scams are transforming the digital landscape—and why most of us are more vulnerable than ever before.In this eye-opening episode, Robert dives into the biological roots of trust and explains why our innate need to trust leaves us wide open to deception. You'll discover how scammers exploit the human blind spot—our default trust—and learn concrete strategies to recognize red flags, even when appearances feel perfectly convincing. We break down the neuroscience behind gut intuition, body language cues, and the subtle physiological signs that signal danger, plus how AI is enabling highly targeted, scalable scams that can deceive even the smartest among us.02:58 The Nature of Trust and Vulnerability06:08 Understanding Scams in the Digital Age09:03 The Importance of Self-Awareness12:14 Navigating Human Instincts and Deception15:11 The Role of Loneliness in Scams17:52 Real-Life Scam Stories21:01 The Mechanics of Romance Scams45:34 Understanding Scams and Vulnerabilities51:47 The Profile of Scam Victims54:14 Recognizing Risk and Building a Firewall01:02:43 Deception Detection Techniques01:10:28 Personal Stories and Lessons Learned01:13:52 Daily Routines and Personal Growth01:20:37 Actionable Takeaways for ListenersRead

Simon Swords bootstrapped Fundipedia for nearly 20 years before selling to FE fundinfo in May 2025. He started in a garden shed with an Ethernet cable and a VoIP phone, ran three businesses at once for years, and eventually landed clients like HSBC, Barclays, and Legal & General. He negotiated the entire life-changing exit himself with his chairman and a ChatGPT subscription, without a corporate broker.In this episode, Simon and I go deep on what it actually costs to play the long game. We talk about the childhood that wired him to push through anything, why he says he would rather have died than given up, and why he cried the day the deal closed.We also get into why he sought therapy after the business was successful, not during the struggle. And why he thinks once you have the money, you're no longer allowed to be sad.This is a conversation about whether the exit actually sets you free, or whether the real work starts after.

Henry Park is the Co-founder and CEO of Pandoblox, a Platform-as-a-Service company unifying data, IT & security to make mid-market companies AI-ready. A serial tech entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience, he has navigated major shifts like VoIP, cloud, and blockchain. He is also the Founder of Guerilla Community Movement, a nonprofit supporting at-risk youth through mentorship and rite of passage programs. Henry holds a degree in economics from UC Irvine, with a background in psychology, and an executive MBA from Tuck University.  In this episode… Sometimes the most important question about AI is not what it can do, but what it should never replace. As businesses race to automate decisions, workflows, and data operations, how do leaders keep human wisdom at the center? For Henry Park, the answer starts with building AI around people, not the other way around. He explains that his journey led him to build solutions focused on outcomes, not just tools, introducing a "service as software" model that removes complexity for growing businesses. He highlights how listening closely to customers and adapting through major tech shifts enabled long-term relevance. This approach helps companies leverage data and AI without heavy internal resources. He also emphasizes the role of mentorship in shaping both individuals and organizations, creating ripple effects beyond business. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Henry Park, Co-founder and CEO of Pandoblox, to discuss human-centered AI for mid-market growth. They explore how to adapt to tech shifts, solve mid-market SaaS challenges, and build outcome-driven platforms. Henry also shares insights on mentorship, leadership, and creating impact beyond business.

Paul Tarantino is the CEO of Byte Federal, one of the largest Bitcoin ATM networks in the country. Eighteen months ago on this show he told us Bitcoin wins by default. That Bitcoin is the last currency standing. That AI-generated fraud would break the credit-based payment system. He was right on all three. Now legislators across the country are coming for Bitcoin ATMs and framing it as consumer protection. Paul has spent three years building the most comprehensive data-driven defense of this industry anyone has produced. He's here to show you what's actually going on. If you use a Bitcoin ATM — or know someone who does — this is the conversation to send them. We discuss: Why the FCC has collected $6,790 of $208 million in VoIP fraud fines — and why Bitcoin ATMs are being scapegoated The regulatory asymmetry nobody is talking about — 98.8% of ATM transactions are legitimate Why banning Bitcoin ATMs is a wealth transfer from the 24.6 million unbanked Americans who use them The exit door Wall Street is trying to close before you walk through it Subscribe so you never miss an episode. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

By Doug Green “We're answering your problem in three to five hours with one of our techs.” At the Channel Partners Conference and MSP Summit, I spoke with Amit Wissotzky of Xorcom about the company's positioning in an increasingly crowded VoIP and communications market. Xorcom, an Israel-based company, delivers a broad range of telephony solutions including VoIP systems, PBXs, and gateways. The company focuses on providing the core infrastructure businesses need to keep communications running reliably, whether for internal collaboration or customer engagement. What stands out in this conversation is Xorcom's commitment to flexibility. Wissotzky emphasized that while the market has largely shifted toward cloud, there remains real demand for hybrid environments. Xorcom supports both cloud and on-premises deployments, giving partners and customers the ability to tailor solutions based on operational needs, regulatory requirements, or legacy infrastructure. That hybrid approach reflects a practical reality in the channel: not every customer is ready—or able—to move entirely to the cloud. By supporting multiple deployment models, Xorcom positions itself as a solution provider that meets customers where they are. But the more distinctive differentiator may be service. In a market dominated by large vendors and ticket-based support systems, Wissotzky pointed to responsiveness as a key advantage. Rather than long wait times and impersonal escalation processes, Xorcom offers direct access to technical support, with response times measured in hours, not days. For partners, that level of engagement can translate into faster issue resolution, improved customer satisfaction, and ultimately stronger long-term relationships. It also aligns with a broader trend in the channel, where service quality is increasingly becoming as important as product capability. As the VoIP market continues to mature, the combination of hybrid flexibility and high-touch support gives Xorcom a clear story to tell: not just technology, but a service model designed to keep business communications working when it matters most.

AudioCodes at Channel Partners: From Voice Infrastructure to Cloud Integration Platform, Podcast By Doug Green “We're not focused on one platform—we're focused on integration and flexibility across all of them.” At the Channel Partners Conference in Las Vegas, I caught up with Paul Hunsucker and Mitch Hirschkowitz of AudioCodes to talk about how the company has evolved—and where the opportunity lies for channel partners today. AudioCodes is one of those companies that nearly everyone in telecom recognizes, but its identity has shifted significantly over time. What began more than 30 years ago in the early days of VoIP—building media gateways, session border controllers (SBCs), and voice infrastructure—has now evolved into something much broader. Today, AudioCodes positions itself as a SaaS platform company focused on managing and integrating UCaaS and CCaaS environments. Rather than competing as a single-platform provider, the company is leaning into a multi-platform strategy—certified across ecosystems like Microsoft, Cisco, and Zoom—giving customers and partners flexibility in how they build and manage communications environments. That shift reflects a larger industry trend. Enterprises are no longer standardizing on a single vendor. Instead, they are assembling communications stacks that span multiple platforms, carriers, and applications. The challenge—and opportunity—for partners is making those environments work seamlessly. AudioCodes is targeting that exact problem. The company's platform approach allows partners to deliver integrated solutions while still giving customers the freedom to choose their preferred UCaaS or CCaaS provider. It also enables enterprises to retain elements of control they previously had in on-prem environments—such as managing SBCs or bringing their own carrier—while benefiting from the scalability of the cloud. For MSPs and channel partners, this creates a clear path forward. Rather than selling a single solution, the opportunity is to become the integrator—the trusted advisor who can stitch together platforms, ensure interoperability, and deliver a consistent user experience.

Season 5, Episode 14: The Phone Call Is the LeadIn this episode of the Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey Lewis breaks down one of the most overlooked growth tools in the pest control industry: your telephone system.A lot of pest control companies spend money on websites, SEO, Google Ads, Local Services Ads, and reviews, but still lose good leads because the phone is not answered quickly, routed properly, or backed up the right way. When a homeowner or business owner has a pest problem, speed matters. The company that answers first and handles the call well often wins the sale.This episode covers the importance of speed to lead, why every pest control business needs a clear process for answering and transferring calls, and how to make sure callers get to the right person fast. Casey also discusses the difference between using a simple cell phone, a traditional office line, and more advanced VOIP systems such as RingCentral, GoTo Connect, Comcast Business Voice, Voice for Pest, and other modern phone solutions. He also explains why owning and controlling your business phone numbers is critical so you do not create unnecessary headaches later when it is time to port numbers or switch providers.A major focus of this episode is HighLevel's phone system and IVR capabilities, including how HighLevel can use Twilio-based infrastructure and LeadConnector phone tools to manage inbound calls, routing, transfers, voicemail, and AI-powered overflow. Casey also explains the role of AI receptionists and why AI works best as an overflow, after-hours, weekend, and holiday backup, not as a replacement for a great live voice when a real customer needs help now.If you want to improve conversions, reduce missed opportunities, and build a better customer experience, this episode will help you think through the right structure for your phone system and your front-end communication process.Connect with Casey Lewis / Rhino Pest Control MarketingWebsite: https://rhinopestcontrolmarketing.com/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pest-control-marketing-domination-podcast/id1636764782Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5MahEvV0KIKHZoq9DDSgIPFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rhinopestcontrolmarketing/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caseylewis1/Contact:Casey LewisRhino Pest Control Marketingcasey@rhinopros.com(925) 464-8383
