Retired DEA agent J. Todd Scott takes us inside his most intense assignment — serving as Assistant Special Agent in Charge in El Paso, Texas, during some of the bloodiest years of cartel violence in Juarez, Mexico. From 21st-century drug trafficking operations to old-school smuggling straight out of the Wild West, Todd saw it all unfold from the front lines of America's border crisis.Todd reveals what it's really like working drug enforcement in a border city where cartel wars are happening right across the bridge, how he transitioned from DEA headquarters in Washington D.C. to the chaos of the southwest border, and why his time leading complex operations in Phoenix became the career highlight of nearly 30 years in federal law enforcement.This is real border security — told by the man who lived it.

Discover the raw truth about traumatic brain injury (TBI) and PTSD in law enforcement from retired officer Jeff Casselman, who served 27 years in the military and at Lorain Ohio PD. After multiple concussions from cruiser accidents, bar fights, and on-duty violence, Jeff faced memory loss, rage blackouts, seizures, and three failed marriages before a diagnosis changed everything. He shares powerful stories: brutal fights, bizarre calls (like a grim reaper walking a goat), heartwarming redemption with a former addict he helped save, and the "Wild West" days of policing. Jeff founded the Sentinel Neuro Awareness Institute and authored Survival Guide to educate officers, departments, and families on recognizing cumulative brain damage early—before it destroys careers, relationships, or lives. Topics include: firearm concussion risks, hyperactive startle response, adult-onset ADD from head trauma, medications like lamotrigine (Lamictal) for impulse control, and why early awareness matters for cops, veterans, and contact-sport athletes. If you're in law enforcement, a first responder, veteran, or love someone who is—this eye-opening interview reveals the hidden neurological toll of the job and how to fight back.

In this "update cast," Steven gets raw about the balancing act of being a neurodivergent entrepreneur. While his business life is currently a "Wild West" of excitement—leveraging AI to slash project costs and build apps over a weekend—his personal health is hitting a daily 3 PM hurdle. Steven discusses the tension between hyper-focusing on a once-in-a-generation tech gold rush and the "health angel" on his shoulder demanding a reset.TakeawaysThe 3 PM Carb Wall: Even with a "perfect" routine 90% of the time, neurodivergent brains often hit a mid-afternoon energy slump that triggers intense cravings. A one-week "circuit breaker" reset is often the only way to kill the cycle.AI as the "Execution" Bridge: Dyslexics often have endless ideas but struggle with the linear work of building them. AI tools like Claude are closing that gap, allowing ideas to be coded into reality in a single weekend.The 4x Efficiency Gain: By leveraging AI, project costs can be slashed (e.g., from $120k to $30k), making previously "impossible" ideas commercially viable for the first time.The Success Trinity: A healthy business needs three roles: The Creator (Vision), The Operator (Execution/Finance), and The Deal Maker (Sales). Most entrepreneurs lack one; identifying your gap is the first step to growth.Hyper-focus vs. Health: We are in an "AI Wild West." It's a high-stakes season to "make hay while the sun shines," but it requires a constant tug-of-war with the "health angel" on your shoulder.Progress, Not Perfection: Moving from "beating yourself up" to "observing your patterns" is the ultimate win.

If you’re thinking about retirement or already living in it, the financial headlines can feel like a carnival — prediction markets, Bitcoin speculation, zero-day options, and apps that let you bet on anything from sports scores to an earnings call. On this episode of The Financial Hour of the Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree, James Dupree, and Mike Johnson cut through the noise to explain what separates genuine long-term investing from high-stakes gambling — and why that distinction matters more than ever for your retirement portfolio. The Rise of Prediction Markets: Kalshi, Polymarket, and the Wild West of Financial Betting The conversation opened with a look at Kalshi — an online prediction market platform where users can place contracts on virtually anything: Supreme Court decisions, what words a politician will say in a speech, or the opening song at a Super Bowl halftime show. Unlike regulated sportsbooks such as FanDuel or DraftKings, Kalshi operates under minimal oversight from the CFTC, which currently has zero enforcement staff dedicated to this space. Tom Dupree noted that the real danger isn’t just the unregulated nature of the platform — it’s the potential for insider information to corrupt what should be fair markets: “In my business, if I know about a material fact and I trade based on it, they could take my license and bury me under the jail. But this platform sets up for that to happen, and there’s almost no oversight.” Key concerns raised in this episode: Kalshi allows bets on corporate earnings calls, political speeches, and sporting events — any of which could be exploited by insiders The platform holds user cash at a 3.25% yield, blurring the line between a betting platform and a financial institution Spreads and transaction fees on thinly traded contracts can be extremely wide — in some cases, a buyer pays 32 cents while a seller receives only 70 cents on a contract Robinhood has entered the prediction market space, bringing Wall Street-style algorithmic traders into an unregulated environment James Dupree summed up the deeper problem with unregulated prediction markets: “It calls into question the legitimacy of what actions are taking place — be it in politics, sports, every aspect of life. Can you trust what’s being said, or is it being said because of this bet?” — James Dupree For context on why this matters to your financial future, visit our Market Commentary archive for more episodes on financial trends affecting retirement investors. The 2008 Financial Crisis Lesson: When the Side Bet Becomes Bigger Than the Main Event The team drew a powerful parallel between today’s prediction markets and the derivatives that helped trigger the 2008 financial crisis. Mike Johnson explained it with a vivid analogy: “You’ve got one person at a roulette table placing a $100 bet. Then you’ve got somebody behind them placing a $100 bet on that one. And it goes 50 people deep. On that initial $100 bet, you now have $50,000 tied to how it plays out.” That’s exactly what happened with mortgage-backed securities and credit default swaps (CDS) in 2008. Bonds that appeared AAA-rated were actually junk, and when the underlying mortgages failed, the cascading losses from derivative instruments wiped out financial institutions that had no direct exposure to the original loan. The lesson for retirement investors in Kentucky and beyond is straightforward: complexity and opacity in financial products are a warning sign, not a feature. Want to understand how Dupree Financial Group’s approach differs from firms that chase complexity? Read our Investment Philosophy to see how we think about protecting and growing your portfolio. Investing vs. Gambling: What’s the Real Difference? This is the core question of the episode — and it’s one that applies directly to anyone managing retirement assets. Mike Johnson offered a clear distinction: Gambling is binary. You’re either right or wrong within a short, defined timeframe. Zero-day options, Kalshi contracts, and sports betting all share this characteristic. Even one winning trade can reinforce a gambler’s mindset that makes long-term financial discipline nearly impossible. Investing gives you time. As Tom put it, the companies Dupree Financial holds in client portfolios are real — enterprises of people solving problems, making products, and generating long-term cash flow. A stock price can be wrong in the short-term while the underlying business remains fundamentally sound. Key takeaways from this segment: Volatility is an opportunity for long-term investors, not a threat — it’s when patient investors can buy quality companies at reduced prices “Action junkies” — traders who crave market movement — actually create buying opportunities for disciplined investors Platforms like Robinhood are designed to encourage frequent trading, which behavioral research links to worse outcomes for retail investors Good investment behavior is often doing nothing — holding your position when others panic is one of the most valuable skills a retirement investor can develop “What we’re trying to do at our firm is encourage good behavior. And a lot of times good behavior is to do nothing. Don’t do a trade today. Don’t buy, don’t sell. Hold on to your position.” — Tom Dupree Why Companies Beat Commodities and Crypto for Retirement Income Tom Dupree made a point that often surprises listeners: he doesn’t view Bitcoin, gold, or silver as true investments — he views them as speculation vehicles. The reason? You can’t assign a rational value to them. Unlike a company, you never know if you’re getting a fair price. There’s no cash flow, no optimization, no human capital that can adapt the business model when conditions change. “Our companies are currency for money, as opposed to money being currency for our companies. You put together a productive company of people doing things, solving problems, making products — that is a unique invention in the history of mankind.” This philosophy directly shapes how Dupree Financial Group manages client portfolios — favoring income-producing equities in separately managed accounts over speculative assets, and prioritizing transparency so clients always know what they own and why. Frequently Asked Questions What is Kalshi, and why is it controversial? Kalshi is an online prediction market where users can place contracts on real-world outcomes — from political decisions to sports events to corporate earnings calls. It’s controversial because it operates with minimal regulatory oversight, creating the potential for insider trading and market manipulation that would be illegal in regulated securities markets. How did derivatives contribute to the 2008 financial crisis? In 2008, financial institutions created layers of derivative securities — including credit default swaps (CDS) — tied to mortgage bonds that appeared safe but were actually high-risk. When the underlying mortgages failed, the value of these derivatives collapsed, wiping out far more capital than the original bad loans ever could have. The “side bet” became bigger than the original investment, which is why the contagion spread so quickly. What’s the difference between gambling and long-term investing? Gambling is typically a binary, short-term event where you’re right or wrong within a defined window. Long-term investing allows you to be wrong in the short term and still come out ahead because time lets the underlying value of a quality business work in your favor. Disciplined investors can also take advantage of volatility created by short-term speculators to buy good companies at better prices. Should retirees own Bitcoin or gold? Tom Dupree’s view is that neither Bitcoin nor gold can be rationally valued the way a business can — you can’t analyze cashflows, growth potential, or management quality. While both have their advocates, Dupree Financial Group’s investment philosophy centers on income-producing companies with transparent fundamentals, which are better suited to generating reliable retirement income. How does Dupree Financial Group protect clients from speculation risk? Dupree Financial Group uses separately managed accounts and a fiduciary, fee-based approach that prioritizes income-producing equities over speculative assets. Clients have direct access to their portfolio managers — not a rotating roster of assigned counselors — which means your strategy stays personal, consistent, and grounded in your actual retirement goals.

If the prediction markets conversation made you wonder whether your current investments are truly working for your retirement, it may be time for a second opinion.

Early this year, the US Department of Justice released 3.5 million files related to financier, human trafficker and sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, drawing more of us into the Wild West of conspiracy theories. The files confirm what we already know about his crimes, and much of it references high‑profile figures, but often without context or evidence. Raw, redacted, and sprawling, the files are enough to spark rumours, questions, and deeper confusion – which is exactly what we'll be diving into with our guest, who had to reckon with the fact that he himself is mentioned 25 times in the files.*Note: Toward the end of the podcast, Sharaad refers to Koo Stark as Prince William's ex. This is incorrect — Koo Stark is Prince Andrew's former partner.Image Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nate Elliott, Principal Analyst at eMarketer, joins Ari Paparo and Eric Franchi to talk through what's actually happening with AI adoption in marketing and commerce. He shares a practical view on how many consumers actively use AI tools, why usage stats are often misleading, and why most AI influence on shopping still happens outside chatbots. The group also digs into GEO and AEO, agency and CMO priorities, and the growing debate over content licensing and the health of the open web. Takeaways Only about 15–20% of US online consumers use AI tools weekly, despite AI touching nearly every digital experience. Most AI-influenced commerce happens through research and discovery, not direct purchases inside chatbots. GEO feels like SEO in 1998, full of experimentation, aggressive tactics, and unclear measurement. CMOs are focused more on internal AI productivity gains than flashy external AI activations. Agencies may reach near-universal AI usage internally, but that does not mean AI replaces 95% of marketing output. The health of the open web is critical to AI platforms, making content licensing a long-term strategic issue.

In this new episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with David Appel from Korbe Health to dive into the rapidly evolving world of GLP-1s, fitness, and clinical care integration. Pulling from his experience as a longtime coach-turned-operator, Appel talks about the genesis of Korbe and how they're working to bridge the gap between telehealth, health clubs, and innovative weight loss solutions. They bring up marketing strategies that connect with new demographics, the challenges and opportunities of GLP-1 programming, and the importance of education for both fitness professionals and their clients. If you're curious about the future of fitness, medical wellness, and how health club operators can leverage these advancements to better serve their members, this one is a must-listen. Regarding the role of provider relationships in weight loss success: "Through this provider relationship they're not going to ramp up the drug just to get the weight loss if you're not doing any of the other parts to help with it . . . because otherwise you're just going to end up feeling sick, because you have too much of the medication going on, your body isn't going to be able to adapt." Key themes discussed Integration of GLP-1 therapies with fitness and clinical care Marketing challenges for GLP-1 workouts in health clubs Creating specialized programming for GLP-1 users Partnerships between telehealth platforms and health clubs Addressing stigma and privacy for GLP-1 medication users Effects of GLP-1 on muscle strength and aging Education and training for trainers on GLP-1 protocols A Few Key Takeaways: 1.New Approaches to Programming & Marketing: David emphasizes the importance of offering low-impact, accessible workout programs for people on GLPs. However, clubs should avoid overtly labeling classes as "GLP Workouts" to spare members any stigma, instead designing inclusive, beginner-friendly options. The success comes from blending with existing offerings and focusing on education and engagement. 2. Partnerships and Revenue Sharing: Appel explains that Korbe partners with established fitness chains like InShape Family Fitness, using marketing agreements involving SMS, email, and in-club signage. They've seen successful campaigns, with up to 3% penetration in club populations through integrated services and revenue share models. 3. Importance of Ongoing Support and Telehealth: Korbe Health provides telehealth care without long-term contracts or membership fees. Members get virtual consultations and ongoing support, leading to better retention and more effective weight loss compared to drop-shipped, no-support solutions. The personal provider relationship is critical to sustainable results. 4. Market Challenges and Opportunities: The industry is still the "Wild West" with many low-cost and questionable suppliers. David stresses the importance of using vetted providers and compounding pharmacies. He believes health club operators should see GLP integration as an opportunity, not a threat, to grow their business and deliver improved outcomes for their members.

#777 Live selling is no longer a gimmick — and for some brands, it's quietly becoming one of the most profitable growth channels out there! In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with returning guest John Roman, CEO of BattlBox (a $20M+ e-commerce brand for outdoor survival/EDC gear), to break down what's working right now for them: live selling. John shares the BattlBox origin story — including launching in 2015, riding the 2020 wave (and a Netflix series), selling the business, then buying it back in 2023 — before diving into how platforms like Whatnot are changing the game with auction-style shopping, community-driven features (boosts, raids), and high-intent buyers. You'll hear practical details on show formats, timing, hosting, profitability, and why John believes live shopping is still the “Wild West” with massive upside for brands willing to jump in early! What we discuss with John: + Live selling explained + BattlBox origin story + Selling, buying back the business + Whatnot vs other platforms + Auctions vs buy-it-now + Community boosts & raids + Show timing & frequency + Hosts and formats that convert + Profitability vs TikTok Shop + Early-mover advantage Thank you, John!

AI models are powerful, but they don't forget. And that's a problem.They hallucinate. They inherit bias. They absorb sensitive data. And once they're trained, fixing those issues is painfully expensive. Retraining takes weeks and maybe tens of millions of dollars. And any guardrails the AI company puts up are brittle.What if you could perform surgery on the model itself?In this episode of TechFirst, John Koetsier sits down with Ben Luria, co-founder of Hirundo, to explore machine unlearning, a new approach that selectively removes unwanted data, behaviors, and vulnerabilities from trained AI systems.Hirundo claims it can:• Cut hallucinations in half• Massively reduce bias• Reduce successful prompt injection attacks by over 90%• Do it in under an hour on a single GPU• Preserve benchmark performanceInstead of adding more guardrails, machine unlearning works inside the model, identifying problematic weights, isolating behavioral vectors, and surgically removing risks without degrading quality.If AI is going mainstream in enterprises, it needs a remediation layer. Is machine unlearning the missing piece?⸻GuestBen LuriaCo-Founder, HirundoNhirhttps://www.hirundo.io⸻Topics Covered• Why AI models “can't forget”• The difference between hallucinations and inaccuracies• Why guardrails aren't enough• How prompt injection works — and how to reduce it• Removing PII and noncompliant training data• AI security at the model level• Why machine unlearning could become standard by 2030⸻If you're building, deploying, or investing in AI, this is a conversation you can't miss.

Between people looking toward AI as a god and AI agents creating their own "church," Austin Gravley of the What Would Jesus Tech podcast helps us look at the rapid growth of general AI, how it interacts around the topic of God and theology, and how we interact with AI as it does all that.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle react to disturbing news involving former Jets first-round pick Darron Lee and why some stories go far beyond sports. Then the conversation takes a sharp turn into the exploding world of prediction markets and unregulated wagering. Is it basically LEGAL insider trading? Can people bet using information they already know and cash in? Carton explains why the government may step in FAST and why this could all be outlawed sooner than you think.
Prescott, Arizona TerritoryFebruary 10, 1886In 1881, the Arizona Territory was rocked by the chilling crimes of Dennis Dilda, a man whose outward appearance as a hardworking settler masked a predatory nature. Settling near Prescott with his wife and children, Dilda's descent into infamy began with the disappearance of several travelers. Suspicion peaked when Deputy Sheriff James Bozarth went missing after visiting Dilda's ranch to investigate a theft.A subsequent search of the property revealed a gruesome scene: Bozarth's body was discovered buried beneath the floor of Dilda's cabin. Further investigation unearthed more victims on the grounds, cementing Dilda's reputation as one of the frontier's most cold-blooded killers. His capture led to a swift trial and a public execution in 1886. Dilda's story remains a haunting chapter of Wild West history, serving as a grim reminder that the most dangerous outlaws weren't always found on the open trail—sometimes, they were your neighbors.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries.

If you live in a rural area, you already know the struggle: the internet will have you stuck in the dark ages… and then everybody acts surprised when you can't stream, work, or upload a thing. In this episode of Adulting with Autism, I'm talking with Mashood Ahmad, founder and CEO of Gigabit IQ — known as the UK's "Safe Broadband Provider." Mashood has spent 25+ years in telecom and broadband, and he's on a mission to make internet access not only fast, but also safer for families. And y'all… we get into the part parents are exhausted by: online safety. Because once kids hit the internet, it can turn into the Wild West real quick — especially for autistic and neurodivergent kids who may be more vulnerable to manipulation, grooming, cyberbullying, and unsafe content. We talk about why "basic" parental controls aren't enough when you've got 20 devices in one house, and how network-level tools (aka controls that work across your home Wi-Fi) can reduce the chaos. We also get REAL about: Why "super fast fiber" isn't always super, fast, or fiber Roblox, in-game chats, and how "kid games" can still be unsafe FamilyGuard+ features like age-based filtering, screen time limits, app blocking, alerts, and VPN bypass blocking (because these kids are SMART smart) How parents can set digital boundaries without turning into full-time detectives Why safety needs to be the standard — like seatbelts — not an optional add-on Connect with Mashood / Gigabit IQ: Website: gigabitiq.com Learn about FamilyGuard+: Gigabit IQ FamilyGuard+

The Wild West isn't just a theme—it's a survival story. In this episode of Only in OK, we are diving deep into the dusty, high-octane history of Frontier City. This Oklahoma City icon isn't just a theme park; it's a survivor that outlasted real estate developers, economic crashes, and even an F2 tornado. We explore how a 1957 state birthday exhibit became the secret headquarters of the global Six Flags empire while the rest of us were just waiting in line for the Silver Bullet. Whether you're a rollercoaster nut or a fan of Oklahoma history, strap in—we're going back to the Old West, right off I-35. In This Episode, We Discuss: The "Boomtown" Origins: How Hollywood publicist James Burge saw Disneyland in '55 and decided OKC needed a slice of the action. The Park That Refused to Die: How the 1980s oil crunch accidentally saved Frontier City from being demolished for a real estate development. The Six Flags Birthplace: The "Only in OK" fact—the company that bought Six Flags (Premier Parks) started in a small office in the Frontier City parking lot. Frontier City on Film: From the gritty streets of Dillinger (1973) to the cult horror of The Fun Park and the neon nights of American Ninja Warrior. Ride Deep Dives: The resurrection of the Wildcat, the "hand-me-down" pedigree of the Silver Bullet, and the interactive history of Quick Draw. The 2021 "Water Hero": A look back at the guest who climbed the lift hill to save stuck passengers (and got a 5-year ban for it). Frontier City Ride Guide Ride Name Type Backstory Silver Bullet Steel Looping A classic Schwarzkopf model with high G-force and only a lap bar.

The Not So Wild West by Tom Woods.
The world's biggest tech companies are facing their greatest legal and political challenges since their inception. Opening statements are expected to start early next week in a Los Angeles courtroom for what is being called a landmark social media trial. Meta and Google are being sued by a 19-year-old plaintiff, known as K.G.M., who alleges that Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and others are intentionally designed to be addictive. She claims the use of these platforms caused her profound harm—including anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. TikTok and Snapchat were also sued but have since settled the claims against them. Google and Meta deny these allegations. They argue there is no connection between their technology and addiction. There is a lot at stake; this is just the first case that could eventually affect more than a thousand other claims. A class action involving approximately 1,600 plaintiffs with similar claims is pending. Meanwhile, in Washington, a bipartisan push is growing to reform Section 230 protections for Big Tech. The law currently shields social media companies from liability regarding user-generated content. John Yoo—former Deputy Assistant Attorney General and current law professor at UC Berkeley—joins FOX Business Network's Lydia Hu to discuss the high stakes for Big Tech as they are caught in the legal crosshairs and face increasing political pressure.

In a world of shifting policies and "Wild West" internet searches, how do you find the truth? This episode dives into the recent major changes in the caregiver support world, including the transition of AlzAuthors under the leadership of All Home Care Matters.

Inside the Conversation: Vetting the Noise: Why "human-filtered" information is the best defense against the costly misinformation and false promises targeting caregivers today. The Power of Storytelling: How memoirs and fiction provide the "me too" moments and emotional escape that medical manuals simply cannot offer. The "First 48" Strategy: Lance shares his personal journey of being "new to the wheel" and why professional healthcare often misses the human needs of the family. Bridging the Gap for 2026: As the "Silver Tsunami" peaks, we discuss how veterans can support the massive new wave of caregivers entering the trenches this year. Our Guest: Lance A. Slatton Lance A. Slatton, CSCM The Senior Care Influencer & President of AlzAuthors Lance A. Slatton is a healthcare professional with over 20 years of experience and is widely recognized as "The Senior Care Influencer." He is a Senior Case Manager at Enriched Life Home Care Services and the host of the award-winning podcast and YouTube channel, All Home Care Matters.

A prolific writer and advocate, Lance is a monthly columnist for McKnight's Home Care News and the author of the All Home Care Matters' Official Family Caregivers Guide.

About 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of Los Angeles is a natural rock formation known as Vásquez Rocks. Formed around 25 million years ago, they dominate the sparse landscape, their bright reddish hues telling the story of the area's seismic and geological history. But our focus this week isn't on the formation, but the man whose name now graces it. Few figures in the days of California's Wild West cast as big a shadow as Tiburcio Vásquez. You'll definitely want to hear his story, as it's almost too crazy to be true!
The CoCreate Work Podcast | Work. Culture. Personal Development.
We're kicking off our AI Workplace and Culture series with Martha Shaughnessy, founder and CEO of The Key PR. Martha isn't just observing the AI transformation—she's living it. Her firm works with tech startups building with AI, and she's implementing AI tools in her own company.What we really appreciated about our conversation is Martha's refusal to give easy answers. She's both optimistic and pessimistic about where we're headed.What We Talked AboutMartha walked us through what's actually happening in the startup world right now (spoiler: it's all AI, all the time). We dug into why communications needs to be involved at the earliest stages of strategy, not bolted on at the end. She shared her framework for crisis communication when the tools and rules keep changing. And we explored what it means to co-create work when everything is shifting underneath us.Martha also brought what she calls her "punk ass perspective" on who gets to dominate the tech conversation—and why that matters for all of us.Key TakeawaysMost companies are either building with AI from the ground up or retrofitting existing products. The Wild West analogy applies, except those already on top (Google, Amazon, OpenAI) have such a dramatic lead that the playing field is fundamentally different.For most people, technology is magic. They don't care how it works—they care why it matters. The job is finding both the selfish impact (how it affects you personally) and the global impact (how it makes the world better).In crisis communication, simple truth beats complicated explanations every time. Over-explaining makes people suspicious. And sometimes you just have to take it—because if you messed up, someone's going to be mad.The "get it off my desk" jobs are most at risk. But curiosity, creativity, and systems thinking? Those become more valuable than ever. Martha's hope is that we graduate from productivity-first culture and reinvest in what makes us human.AI can do tremendous good—and tremendous harm. From literacy tutoring for kids with dyslexia to environmental damage from energy demands, this technology cuts both ways. We need visionary leadership and diverse perspectives in the room to navigate it well.Communications needs to be at the table early. Not as a bolt-on at the end, but at the concept stage when you're still figuring things out. That's where you catch potential crises before they happen.About Martha ShaughnessyMartha is the founder and CEO of The Key PR, a Bay Area-based communications firm she founded in 2017 with a mission to deliver high-impact, no-BS communications to her clients. Over the past 20+ years, Martha has worked with tech companies, startups, and nonprofits, helping them navigate the complex intersection of technology, culture, and human impact.
