The Wolff Couple have been training successful investors alongside the guru Ron LeGrand all across America for over 15 years. Now thousands of students use the training they created with Ron to achieve their dreams through real estate investing. Brian and Lynette are the acknowledged authorities on Scripts, LIVE Closing Calls, Acquisitionists, and Pretty Houses. The Wolffs' background makes them uniquely qualified to train you how to get rich in Real Estate. Lynette and Brian are straight talkers originally from Minnesota, with over 40 years of combined experience in the industry. As a new home sales agent, Lynette set an Arizona state record by selling 41 homes in one month! Brian was the Manager of a mortgage office in downtown Phoenix, and a Realtor as well. When the Wolffs found Ron LeGrand they launched into real estate investing full time, and quickly replaced two 6-figure incomes. They began closing multiple deals per month in their own business, which now thrives with the help of their 2 sons (Dashel and Cale) and the rest of their pack. Together they've closed well over $100 million worth of real estate deals! A huge focus for the Wolffs is Pretty Houses, because of the big profits you can make when you just know what to say, and all that awesome passive income. Plus Brian's expertise in negotiating mortgages and Lynette's in selling gorgeous homes quickly made them perfectly suited for Pretty Houses, where financing terms and urgency make deals. Brian also wrote screenplays in Hollywood for 7 years, so he had the ideal background to create the powerful and conversational scripts needed to close those big deals. The other great thing about Pretty Houses is that you can delegate to an Acquisitionist and have the whole business done for you. One of the Wolffs' many nicknames is the King & Queen of Automation and Delegation, and that is the true meaning behind the title of Ron's new book, “The Less I Do, the More I Make.” In fact, out of all the famous authors and speakers Ron knows, he chose Brian to write the forward for his book! Ron also knew the Wolffs were the perfect ones for the job years ago when he hired them to teach his 4-day Pretty House Boot Camp. The Wolff Couple have helped so many investors make big money, their binder of testimonials is thicker than a phone book! They've even coached so many of the people who are now training others that the students call them “Mentors to the Mentors”. Since they began real estate investing Ron's way they have been so blessed, and now it has become Brian and Lynette's life mission to be a blessing to others. They would truly love to help YOU achieve your dreams too! What you'll learn about in this episode: Why both wholesaling and rehabbing homes come with big drawbacks that you should keep in mind when deciding what to do with your properties Why flipping houses as fast as you can is a bad habit you need to break, and why depreciation on property values can completely wipe out your income taxes Why selling your houses within the first year can cost you 37% of your income in taxes, and why holding them for just one year can lower that burden to 15-20% Why lease option tenant buyers can help you generate big money through option deposits and residual cash flow from the rent you're collecting How holding your properties can allow their value to appreciate over time and allows debt paydown over the time you're holding it Why a lease option removes the burden of doing repairs on the home and places it on your tenant buyer instead What specific situations call for rehabbing or wholesaling a property rather than holding onto them for the long term Why Brian and Lynette Wolff held a property for 17 years before finally selling it, and why they held the property through five different tenant buyers How the Wolff couple were able to turn their property into total final net profits of an astonishing $493,300 from a single property Resources: Get Ron's $599 Wholesaling course for FREE when you join his Gold Club for ONLY $59 a month!

Brian Christian is a bestselling author with a particular knack for accurately communicating difficult or technical ideas from both mathematics and computer science. Listeners loved our episode about his book Algorithms to Live By — so when the team read his new book, The Alignment Problem, and found it to be an insightful and comprehensive review of the state of the research into making advanced AI useful and reliably safe, getting him back on the show was a no-brainer. Brian has so much of substance to say this episode will likely be of interest to people who know a lot about AI as well as those who know a little, and of interest to people who are nervous about where AI is going as well as those who aren't nervous at all. Links to learn more, summary and full transcript. Here’s a tease of 10 Hollywood-worthy stories from the episode: • The Riddle of Dopamine: The development of reinforcement learning solves a long-standing mystery of how humans are able to learn from their experience. • ALVINN: A student teaches a military vehicle to drive between Pittsburgh and Lake Erie, without intervention, in the early 1990s, using a computer with a tenth the processing capacity of an Apple Watch. • Couch Potato: An agent trained to be curious is stopped in its quest to navigate a maze by a paralysing TV screen. • Pitts & McCulloch: A homeless teenager and his foster father figure invent the idea of the neural net. • Tree Senility: Agents become so good at living in trees to escape predators that they forget how to leave, starve, and die. • The Danish Bicycle: A reinforcement learning agent figures out that it can better achieve its goal by riding in circles as quickly as possible than reaching its purported destination. • Montezuma's Revenge: By 2015 a reinforcement learner can play 60 different Atari games — the majority impossibly well — but can’t score a single point on one game humans find tediously simple. • Curious Pong: Two novelty-seeking agents, forced to play Pong against one another, create increasingly extreme rallies. • AlphaGo Zero: A computer program becomes superhuman at Chess and Go in under a day by attempting to imitate itself. • Robot Gymnasts: Over the course of an hour, humans teach robots to do perfect backflips just by telling them which of 2 random actions look more like a backflip. We also cover: • How reinforcement learning actually works, and some of its key achievements and failures • How a lack of curiosity can cause AIs to fail to be able to do basic things • The pitfalls of getting AI to imitate how we ourselves behave • The benefits of getting AI to infer what we must be trying to achieve • Why it’s good for agents to be uncertain about what they're doing • Why Brian isn’t that worried about explicit deception • The interviewees Brian most agrees with, and most disagrees with • Developments since Brian finished the manuscript • The effective altruism and AI safety communities • And much more Producer: Keiran Harris.

Most business owners, managers, and even those responsible for communication outreach do not understand advertising other than on a basic level. They are simply too busy to learn it, go to school, or become experts. Most fail miserably at creating messaging and advertising. Only the largest or more successful companies or those with the financial ability to invest can afford professional agency help. The other 98% simply do without proper guidance or the knowledge to implement their outreach effort, and they struggle. This equates to a market of approximately 30 million small businesses in the U.S." Brian is a former 20-year owner/publisher of large, citywide magazines in the Phoenix market as well as an expert in direct selling. In addition to creating ADMANITY's algorithm for The ADMANITY® Protocol and its testing platform, he has written over 2,000 pages of ADMANITY® curriculum and training materials as well as being the author of the book Sheep Don't Eat Complicated Grass! Brian is considered an expert on the topic of emotional marketing and advertising tactics and is a skilled, entertaining public speaker. Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Brian Gregory. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Brian Gregory such as: Why Brian loves the statements that prove all branding is showing the true strength of storytelling. Why Brian finds the minutia of what we think our brand is to be truly fascinating and more often wrong. and lastly…. Brian shares the principles of sales and explains why everything works faster when you bring emotional aspects into things.

Many business owners face significant challenges when it comes to buying or selling a home; because your income comes from your own business, the bank creates serious hurdles to qualifying for a mortgage. And selling a home through a bank comes with its own headaches and costs that can eat into your profits. What can you do? Brian O’Neill is an entrepreneur who specializes in the real estate “terms” niche, circumventing the banks entirely. Brian O’Neill was born in New York and moved to Florida at age 5 and spent most of his life there. He attended Florida State University and then at the age of 30 he moved to Chicago. Brian has been there for 17 years now and has a wonderful wife, Katie, who he has been married to for 10 years. They have a 9 year old son named Will. They love spending time together and taking family vacations, just the 3 of them. In his spare time, Brian likes to play golf, read, and play sports with his son. What you’ll learn about in this episode: Why buying a house as a business owner can be difficult even if you have excellent credit, and why “terms” deals are a great alternative to a bank mortgage loan How Brian got involved in real estate investing in an effort to be able to spend more time with his family Why Brian fell into the habit of talking himself out of starting his business, and how he finally overcame his own limiting beliefs Why having the right mentor and a supportive “inner circle” of connections has been instrumental in Brian’s success as an entrepreneur Why feeling stuck is often due to not realizing all the options you have available, and what to do if you have little equity or even if you’re upside down in your current home What advantages business owners can get from buying or selling a home through “terms” rather than through a traditional bank mortgage How selling a home on terms works, and why it can create monthly income without having to deal with the hassles and headaches of being a landlord What kind of deal structure options are available for buying or selling on terms, and what happens if a buyer is unable to buy the home by the end of the terms period How terms deals can serve as a great option for homeowners who are significantly behind on their property taxes and at risk of forfeiting their home How Brian works to educate buyers and sellers on a different perspective and on other problem-solving options they may not have known about Resources: Phone: (331) 803-8268 Email: brian@BKWPropertySolutions.com Website: www.BKWPropertySolutions.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/bkwpropertysolutions/ Additional Resources: Free Executive Leadership Summary report from Predictive ROI: https://predictiveroi.com/research Sell With Authority by Drew McLellan and Stephen Woessner: https://amzn.to/39y7x13 Predictive ROI Free Resource Library: https://predictiveroi.com/resources/ Stephen Woessner’s LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/stephenwoessner/

Win Robs Change and Why Brian's Are Awful

Artists who are willing to put themselves in harm’s way are a rare bread, and those who use their work to help others are perhaps even rarer. Photographer, Brian McCarty, is one of these unique artists, and since 2011, he has been collaborating with the United Nations and other NGOs to help traumatized children in war zones. Through his project, War Toys, Brian uses the power of children’s toys, free play, and his camera to help these children process their pain. Brian has worked in places like Iraq, Syria, and the West Bank, and he joins us today to share insights into his work. We begin by hearing about his experience of working in a war zone and the complex emotions these spaces cause him to feel. On the one hand, he is exposed to the darkest side of humanity, while on the other, he sees people trying to help in the most selfless ways. Brian talks about the absurd and trite nature of his work and how this exact absurdity ultimately hooks people and draws them in. This endeavor has not been easy for a variety of reasons, and Brian shares more about the 15-year journey he has been on which culminated in forming a non-profit last year. Naturally, we discuss the pandemic, where Brian explains why he – like many who have worked in war zones – is particularly on edge about the election and the conflict that may come with the transfer of power. Our conversation also touches on projects Brian has in the pipeline, the immense power of art therapy in high-conflict areas and war zones, and the potential of a documentary about his work being made. Tune in today to hear more.   Key Points From This Episode: Hear how Brian was drawn to photographing toys, a passion that started at a young age. What it’s like to be working in an active war zone; it’s an addicting experience. The long road Brian walked to finally get to work in a war zone – It took 15 years to get there. What Brian believes the hook of his work – which at first glance seems trite – ultimately is. Brian’s relationship with toy manufacturers and the support they provide him. Forming the War Toys non-profit; why Brian finally decided to launch it last year and their pilot project. The interesting connection Brian has seen between toy guns and active war zones. War zones reveal both the primal and deeply hopeful nature of human beings. How religion affects the work Brian does and what he has learned along the way. The difficulty that comes with trying to find children again in high conflict areas and war zones. Find out how the lessons Brian has learned from his work have helped him in the pandemic. How Brian is using this newfound time seeing as he is unable to travel. Donating to War Toys; what the money will be used for. Some important photographers like Chris Hondros and Dickey Chapelle Brian hopes to honor. Why Brian doesn’t think that the media will be protected in war zones again. Insights into DesignerCon and why Brian is so excited about what is happening in the space. What Brian’s day-to-day looks like and how he stays disciplined. Brian’s fundraising goal for 2021 and the work he hopes to do going forward. Children in war zones need to be taught emotional literacy because they are often detached from their feelings. Capturing the work; how filming has formed a part of Brian’s project. Where to find Brian and War Toys online. For more information and photos, visit here: https://notrealart.com/brian-mcCarty

You don’t have to be limited to your own market. That’s the beauty of virtual wholesaling! Gavin Timms sits down with our coaching client Brian Blanders about how he chose his virtual market, and how flexibility has helped him close a deal with a motivated seller. Identifying which of the four main motivations every motivated seller has helped Brian realize that he had to change his offer to make the deal work. Everyone you’re going to talk to has a different reason for wanting to sell their house, and that creative financing offers we teach you will let you meet them on their terms without sacrificing your own profit. Balancing a full-time job and his new real estate investment side hustle has required Brian to get smart about his systems. He literally doesn’t have time to do it all and he can’t drive out to the property on a whim, so he has to delegate out tasks and trust partners and contractors. Listen to some of what he’s learned about choosing contractors for this out of state fix and flip. Brian’s wholesaling plan changed big time when he realized he couldn’t slap some paint on the property and put it back on the market. You can really see how having a growth mindset allowed him to pivot and smart flip his first virtual deal. We work with coaching clients every day to give them the tools they need to knock their deals out of the ballpark. What’s Inside: —What’s the difference between wholesaling and fix and flips? —How to find a great crew in your virtual market. —Why Brian went looking for a private money lender.

In this bloody interesting conversation with author, bartender, and bar owner Brian Bartels, some of the topics we discuss include: A little briefing on the state of the industry from Brian’s viewpoint, having launched his bar and eatery, Settle Down Madison in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The history of the Bloody Mary Cocktail - including a lengthy discussion of the two key players in its origin story: bartender Ferdinand “Pete” Petiot and vaudevillian George Jessel. How the Bloody Mary spawned various riffs and spinoffs, including the Red Snapper, the Michelada, the Bloody Caesar, and of course, the Red Eye. Why Brian considers the Bloody Mary as a bit of a “moving target” in terms of its formulation - in essence, why it’s such a slippery, variable drink, and yet nobody seems to have any problems with the inconsistency of recipes out there. Some thoughts on brunch, and why Brian falls out of step with many professional bartenders by defending it as a bastion of conviviality in today’s world. Some pointed and surprisingly optimistic projections on the future of the Bloody Mary, A preview of Brian’s newest book project, The United States of Cocktails, And much, much more.

Too often we network by proximity. In this episode Brian Fanzo shares his mantra, "press the damn button" to network with others through the sharing of stories. This is transformational because most of us build our network over time through proximity — people from your business school, or through family and friends. Not only do online platforms expand our networking opportunities but they open up people from industries you may never come in contact with.  Brian is a digital futurist who translates the trends of tomorrow to inspire change today. He is currently the Founder of iSocialFanz, which has helped launch digital and influencer strategies with the world’s most iconic brands like Dell, EMC, Adobe, IBM, UFC, Applebee’s, and SAP. Brian believes that we all need to pick up our phones and embrace his mantra “press the damn button” in doing so we share our stories with the world, building trust, awareness and connection with our communities. In this episode Brian shares: How to break the proximity barriers to networking by sharing your work online Why Brian believes so deeply in his mantra “Press the Damn Button” and how you can get started Why the non linear life no longer exists and how to design a life around your strengths and interests How taking initiative can open unique opportunities despite your “qualifications” Why Brian is CEO of Team No Niche and why he believes finding your passion is bad advice and what to do instead To connect and learn from Brian you can visit his website and find him on Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram.  To connect with me Sabba, you can visit my website or join me on Twitter and Instagram. 

I truly believe that speaking is marketing, because no matter whether it's a project, change, idea or a product or service...you've got to sell it to get people buying in or buying your stuff. As speakers we have to be great copywriters too… because the words that we speak have to be relatable and compelling. Combined with storytelling, humour and performance skills, these words have to inspire and motivate our audience to say ‘yes' and take action. Besides the marketing that we do with our talks on our ‘stage', whether that's online, or in front of a ‘live' audience, we need to use the power of marketing to get the opportunities to speak to audiences in the first place. Given all this, I would urge you to hang on every word of my guest on this episode… Brian Kurtz.  He's been a pioneer of direct response marketing for the last 40 years, and he's worked with and been mentored by some of the legends in this arena.  He's also been speaking about direct response marketing for over 30 years, and in this show he's sharing some of the biggest lessons he's learned from those legends with you.  Enjoy!  What you'll discover: Exactly what direct marketing is and why Brian fell in love with it.  The importance of tracking results and using them as your guide to success. Why speaking to the right audience is the most important for direct marketing and speaking. How Brian created a $40,000,000 turnover from books that were gathering dust on bookshop shelves. How Brian cracked infomercials after 15 years and made $200,000,000 from selling books! The $900 book written in 1966, that led me to find Brian and why it has lessons that are relevant for both speakers and marketers today. Why Brian created ‘Overdeliver' and how he nearly died the day after it was published.  What it means to ‘fish without bait' in marketing. The power of contribution in creating powerful relationships and growing your business.  The three most important aspects of direct marketing to use in your business. Why speaking is an important skill set and strategy for a direct marketer to have.  The reason it's important to know your strengths and weaknesses as a speaker.  The most important things you can do as a speaker to make sure your message lands.   All things Brian Kurtz: Websites: Https://www.overdeliverbook.com Https://www.briankurtz.net Https://www.thelegendsbook.com   Facebook: @briankurtz LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-kurtz-a1934/ https://www.thedolectures.com   Books:  Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz  The Alchemist by Paula Coehlo Give and Take by Adam Grant The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand   Resources: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thespeakingclub/ https://www.saraharcher.co.uk/challenge https://www.facebook.com/SarahArcherSpeak/ https://www.saraharcher.co.uk https://www.standoutpitch.com   Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:                                                       leave a comment below.     Share this show on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.   To help the show out:     Leave an honest review on iTunes.

Today, I’m joined once again by my Husband, Brian Inselman! Brian is a qualified Physical Therapist, Fitness Coach and the Owner of our business, ‘Achieve Physical Fitness.’In this episode, we dive into the topic of intermittent fasting and why it can be so genuinely beneficial to your overall health. There is a lot of debate surrounding fasting and whether or not it is a helpful technique in improving your health and nutrition. We discuss the various methods that can be used in conjunction with regular exercise and water intake to achieve the best results. Everyone’s body is different, so make sure to use the methods that work best for you when approaching fasting and try to listen to what you best respond to. The science behind food intake and how our body breaks down fat is also an interesting component to the arguments supporting fasting, as it can have a lot of benefits to our blood sugars, insulin levels, and overall body functionality. If you’re looking to get into the cycle of fasting yourself or are just curious to learn more, then tune in to Episode 11 of Six Pack!Some Questions I Ask:What is intermittent fasting?

Even though we learn that money is merely a means of exchange, a store of value, or a unit of account, it’s so much more than this. Money captures so much of what we grapple with like hope, joy, fear, regret, and envy, yet it’s widely surveyed as being the least spoken-about issue when compared to religion, mortality, and marriage. Dr. Brian Portnoy, the author of The Geometry of Wealth, joins us today to share his view on wealth, which moves past the conventional understanding of accumulation. We kick off the show by discussing some of Brian’s research findings around the way people avoid talking about money. From there, we move onto his idea of funded contentment, which he hopes will get people to think about the different facets that go into a contented, joyful, and meaningful life. While this is a purposely loaded concept, Brian conveys the message in a simple, clear way to show that building wealth requires an assessment of many aspects of life. Then, we move onto how Brian believes financial crises affect people’s financial wellness. Although there are certainly immediate devastating effects of these crises, Brian takes it a step further, sharing a conceptual view of how these shifts intersect with people’s financial plans. After this, we turn our attention to adaptive simplicity and how it relates to goal-setting. We round the show off by discussing how the financial management industry is changing, and what Brian hopes the role of the advisor will increasingly become.

We began this mini-series a few weeks ago as listener Brian Stout and I co-interviewed Dr. Carol Gilligan as an introduction to the topic of patriarchy (https://yourparentingmojo.com/captivate-podcast/patriarchy/) , how it is present in every aspect of raising our children, and the negative impacts it has on our children's lives - both on boys and girls. The interview with Dr. Gilligan laid the groundwork for us, and in this episode Brian and I are back for a conversation about what we learned and what implications this has for the way we will raise our children. We discuss: - Why Brian, a cisgendered, heterosexual white male - an apparent beneficiary of patriarchal systems - is so interested in dismantling it - Some of the specific ways we parents perpetuate patriarchy through our parenting, even if we don't realize we're doing it! - Why 'masculine' qualities like logic are prized over 'feminine' qualities like understanding the physical experience of the body and recognizing emotions (and why it's ridiculous that these qualities are gendered in the first place) - How patriarchy hurts men (mentally, emotionally, and physically) as well as women - Brian's top four conclusions and actions to take to begin the work of dismantling patriarchy in our own families (and, by extension, in society more broadly) [accordion] [accordion-item title="Click here to read the full transcript"] Jen:                                        01:25 (https://www.temi.com/editor/t/PVUClxb5Z7pirdSKNQwq4L4rqj8ScPjauY_XMaz1sf-50GNBUzpnV11rwec20jPqZzJxDBf2pOW_c0pgpy_JkZkYMYw?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=85.91)                     Hello and welcome to the Your Parenting Mojo podcast. Today's episode is a followup that my guest today, Brian Stout and I did recently with Dr. Carol Gilligan on the topic of patriarchy and if you aren't very familiar with what this is and the role that it plays in our lives as parents then I definitely recommend that you go back and listen to that one before you listen to this episode. And I'm glad today that we have a bit more time in this interview for me to properly introduce my guest whose name is Brian Stout. And as with so many of the topics that we've covered related to privilege and social systems, patriarchy is kind of one of those things I might never have considered as relevant to parenting and child development if someone hadn't helped me to draw that connection. And the connection was drawn in a really roundabout way. Jen:                                        02:09 (https://www.temi.com/editor/t/PVUClxb5Z7pirdSKNQwq4L4rqj8ScPjauY_XMaz1sf-50GNBUzpnV11rwec20jPqZzJxDBf2pOW_c0pgpy_JkZkYMYw?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=129.08)                     Brian actually first reached out to me because he had read a series of blog posts that I'd written on how to do a 10-day hike around Mont Blanc with my then 8-week-old daughter. And he wanted more information because he was planning to do a similar trip with his wife and daughter. And we've kept in touch on and off over the years. But it wasn't until recently that I learned a lot more about his work at the intersection of progressive philanthropy and social justice movements. And so Brian holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from Amherst College and a Master's in International Relations from Johns Hopkins and he has a background in...

Today on the show we have Brian Dunning, the creator of the Skeptoid podcast, join us to talk about their non-profit mission and, more specifically, the evolution of their podcast. What started in 2006 as a hobby soon developed into a serious source of information that quickly gained considerable traction from teachers. Brian started hearing how educators were using their podcast to facilitate learning in the classroom, which inspired him to get more scientific and formal in his approach. Their aim over at Skeptoid is to provide quality edutainment that is based on facts and science and that people of any age can enjoy and learn a great deal from. In addition to providing interesting content for the classroom, they also reach the general public with their podcast, covering popular topics such as UFO stories, global warming, and electric cars. But Skeptoid is not only about the podcast; they also do speaker series, produce documentary films and other educational content, and have a lot of exciting projects in the pipeline for 2020. Tuning in to this episode, you will also hear great advice regarding the setting up of a nonprofit. Brian shares how he managed to convert their organization to a 501(c)(3) and the criteria for meeting the requirements of a non-profit. We transition to talking more about the podcasting process, with Brian explaining why podcasts are not necessarily the best platform for everybody. If you are an individual who has no organizational backup or an established audience, it might not be advisable to go this route as very few people manage to build a large following in this way. Brian also gives potential podcasters loads to consider in terms of sponsors and adds, warning them about the restrictions on the type of content allowed in sponsored messages. Not adhering to the regulations for non-profits might result in financial penalties from the IRS. Before starting a podcast, Brian advises listeners to think carefully about the motivation for wanting to do so. While anyone can start a podcast, you want to make sure that is will be worth the time and effort. He wraps up the episode by sharing the other exciting projects Skeptoid is working on and releasing later in the year, including a full-length feature documentary film.   Key Topics: •   The origins of the Skeptoid podcast and non-profit, and the interesting topics covered.

This week, Brian Patrick Flynn joins us to talk about his career path as a TV producer turned designer, now working on HGTV Dream Home and Urban Oasis. Brian combines his talents as a producer, writer, personality, and designer to create content, change lives, and bring a “it’s okay to not be perfect” vibe to design. Brian also talks with us about the TBS hit series Movie & a Makeover, his Icelandic getaway home, his own production company, Flynnside Out Productions, and his bucket list wedding in Antarctica. What You’ll Hear on This Episode: Brian’s first dream may have been to be an Art Director on MTV’s The Real World, but life had even bigger and better plans. More about how Brian worked his way to HGTV Dream Home and Urban Oasis. Brian’s Instagram is one of our favorites because of his beautiful production quality and storytelling on the photos and stories. Brian shares the amazing story of getting married in Antarctica, including seals, glaciers, and almost an avalanche. How Brian fell in love with Iceland so much that he decided to purchase space in a Historic Row Flat there, and why he loves the country so much. Tips for making a room comfortable for both men and women, and embracing what Brian refers to as the “soft masculine” of design. The first step to being perfect is deciding it’s perfectly okay to not be. When we embrace our uniqueness and flaws, we realize the character that makes our space beautiful. Brian’s dream celebrity to work with - and we all agree. Where Brian would splurge and be bold such as art and window treatments, and why he tends to stay classic when it comes to sofas. Brian’s home in Georgia, and what it’s like to own a home in the mountains. Why Brian loves a good piece of furniture used out of context, to keep things fresh and playful.

Joost Zeeuw is a data scientist and product owner at Pacmed, a data-driven healthcare and AI  startup in Amsterdam that combines medical expertise and machine learning to create stronger patient outcomes and improve healthcare experiences. He’s also taught a number of different subjects—like physics, chemistry, and mathematics—at Lyceo, an online education service, and Luzac College in the Netherlands. Join Brian and Joost as they discuss the role of design and user experience within the context of providing personalized medical treatments using AI. Plus: The role data has in influencing doctors’ decisions—without making the decisions The questions Joost’s product team asks before designing any AI solution at Pacmed How people’s familiarity with iPhones and ease-of-use has influenced expectations around simplicity—and the challenges this poses when there is machine learning under the hood Why Brian thinks Pacmed’s abnormal approach to design is great—and what that approach looks like The simple, non-technical, but critical thing Pacmed did early on to help them define their AI product strategy and avoid going down the wrong path An example of an unexpected treatment prediction that Pacmed’s algorithm detected—which ended up being something that a specific field of medicine had been studying with classical research techniques 10,000 km away Where Joost believes Western medicine falls short with respect to new drug trials Resources and Links Joost on LinkedIn Pacmed.ai on LinkedIn Quotes for Today's Episode “Pacmed in that has a three-fold mission, which is, first of all, to try to make sure that every single patient gets the treatment that has proven to work for him or her based on prior data analysis. And next to that we say, ‘well, if an algorithm can learn all these awesome insights generated by thousands and thousands of doctors, then a doctor using one of those products is also very capable of learning more and more things from the lessons that are incorporated in this algorithm and this product.’ And finally, healthcare is very expensive. We are trying to maximize the efficiency and the effectiveness of that spend by making sure everybody gets a treatment that has the highest probability of working for him or her.” — Joost “Offering a data product like this is really another tool in that toolbox that allows the doctor to pierce through this insane amount of complexity that there is in giving care to a patient.” — Joost “Before designing anything, we ask ourselves this: Does it fit into the workflow of people that already have maybe one of the most demanding jobs in the world?” — Joost “There's a very big gap between what is scientifically medically interesting and what's practical in a healthcare system.” — Joost “When I talk about design here, I'm talking kind of about capital D design. So product design, user experience, looking at the whole business and the outcomes we're trying to drive, it's kind of that larger picture here.” — Brian “I don't think this is ‘normal’ for a lot of people coming from the engineering side or from the data science side to be going out and talking to customers, thinking about like how does this person do their job and how does my work fit into you know a bigger picture solution of what this person needs to do all day, and what are the health outcomes we're going for? That part of this product development process is not about data science, right? It's about the human factors piece, about how does our solution fit into this world.” — B
