You feel healthy so everything is okay, right? Have you ever thought that health planning should be part of your retirement planning efforts? If you've answered ‘yes,' pay close attention to Regan Archibald! Regan joins host Brian Skrobonja to discuss how people should approach health planning, the world of preventive care, the role of nutrition, and why longevity medicine is something you should be mindful of. Regan Archibald kicks off the conversation by sharing his origin story. In his work with entrepreneurs, Regan has found that when people focus on creating more balance and focus on their health, their business improves – and so does everything else. One of the major health issues both Regan and Brian have noticed is that many people think that if they feel okay, everything is okay… Regan stresses the importance not only to focus on a certain problem (like high blood pressure) but on trying to understand its cause (so, asking “Why is my blood pressure high?”). Regan illustrates how longevity medicine and financial planning share some of the same characteristics. “Peptides have been one of the most exciting developments,” says Regan. He explains why that's the case. Regan believes that people should approach their health insurance the same way they approach their car insurance. What's a good amount to budget toward health planning? For Regan, the answer to that is $15k/year. For Regan, making your health the #1 priority so that you feel it internally, is an excellent way to get started with health planning. Brian and Regan talk about what working with Regan actually looks like, and discuss diets and how to approach nutrition.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com ThePeptideExpert.com Unreasonable Health Podcast The Peptide Blueprint: Achieving Optimal Health and Performance at Any Age Never Stop Healing: The Unknown Shortcuts With Peptides for an Extraordinary Life EastWest Health Dan Sullivan Peter Diamandis Bryan Johnson Charles Schwab Head Strong: The Bulletproof Plan to Activate Untapped Brain Energy to Work Smarter and Think Faster by Dave Asprey Chat GPT   Skrobonja Financial Group, LLC, Skrobonja Wealth Management, LLC, MAS and Regan Archibald are not affiliated entities.

In this episode of Enrichment for the Real World, Allie Bender and Emily Strong chat about the use of protected contact including what it is (and no, it isn't just putting up a gate or a fence), how to adjust your plan based on needs and progress, tips to avoid the temptation to rush, and advice to ensure that you're not just relying on barriers to prevent a bite—but setting up everyone for success. Using a detailed case study of a dog named Archie, Allie and Emily share how his family used different types of protected contact to prioritize safety, maintain relationships, and build new skills without putting anyone at risk. ⚠️ Important Note: This episode is here to educate and inform, not to replace personalized behavior support. Every individual animal is different, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. If your pet is showing signs of aggression, we strongly encourage teaming up with a qualified behavior professional who can give you the custom support your unique animal needs.And pros? If aggression isn't already in your skillset, don't wing it based on this episode alone. Get a mentor, get the right training, and do it the right way—for everyone's safety and well-being.TLDL (Too Long, Didn't Listen): 1️⃣ Barriers Are Tools, Not Guarantees – Don't assume a setup is safe just because there's a barrier. Assess for this individual, in this context, with their current skills.2️⃣ Slow is Smart – Move at the pace of the least comfortable team member (human or animal). Rushing doesn't get you there faster—it just risks trust and safety.3️⃣ Protected Contact Isn't a Free Pass to Flooding – Barriers don't eliminate stress. If the animal is still over threshold, protected contact alone won't prevent problems.Links & Resources from the Episode

In today's episode, we're diving into one of the most transformative frontiers in health and human performance, Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). With the BCI market projected to grow exponentially in the future, this technology holds immense potential to revolutionize everything from assistive healthcare solutions to cognitive enhancement and mental wellness to many more applications. While the promise of BCI technology is promising, there are critical challenges that will need to be addressed in order to accelerate its adoption. Challenges such as technical challenges, ethical and privacy concerns, social and psychological barriers, regulatory challenges, economic and market barriers, among others. One way to solve for these challenges is by embedding non-invasive forms of this technology into everyday devices. Imagine a future where human-computer interaction allows us to use the power of our brain to get more out of our everyday devices. The future is now.Here to talk about all of this and more is Ramses Alcaide, CEO of Neurable, whose mantra is “The Mind. Unlocked. Work Smarter. Live Better.” Through its proprietary brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, ⁠Neurable⁠ is pioneering the future of human-computer interaction by allowing people to use the power of their brain to get more out of their everyday devices.Listen in with us as we reveal a tech-driven approach to make brain optimization effortless, insightful, accessible, and seamless.Other insights range from how AI-driven technologies are enhancing precision health and longevity by meeting people where they are as they journey in the physical world, to how BCI devices designed for practical use cases are accelerating conversations around neuro-ethics, to how neuro-technologies are intertwined into a broader societal movement of biohacking as a path toward health, wellness, and longevity.For more details visit TechLink Health ⁠on the web⁠ or connect with Ramses on ⁠LinkedIn⁠.This episode was hosted by ⁠Dr. Sarah Samaan⁠.The episode points to several references with links below:⁠

It's always about the journey; it's seldom about the goal. Who you are determines your success. Clarity isn't found, it's created. Journal Prompts: What's really going on here?

From transforming how the U.S. Navy uses machine learning to now leading data products and applied intelligence at Worley, her career bridges complex tech and real-world impact.Following her workshop, Unleashing Your Inner Cyborg, at this year's Women in Leadership Conference, Summer joined Owl Have You Know co-host Brian Jackson '21 to discuss the evolution of AI, the power of pairing machine learning with human judgment, and the ethical guardrails she believes are essential in today's data-driven world.Episode Guide:00:12 Meet Summer Husband: AI and Data Expert01:00 Women in Leadership Conference Insights01:52 Ethics and Rapid Advancements in AI04:01 Upskilling and AI Deployment in Business04:53 AI as a Sales Response Generator06:47 Summer's Career Journey and AI Evolution13:05 AI's Impact on Human Roles and Ethics16:20 Future of AI and Human Intuition22:59 Empowering Women in Tech and Leadership26:06 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:The power of being surrounded by empowered women22:32: It's really powerful for women to be around other very capable and talented women. I didn't realize what an impact that had. I've loved all the organizations that I've worked for. My first job, there was only one other woman on the technical side. I didn't think that impacted me. But my next organization had a lot of women in executive leadership, and I suddenly started to feel like taking a more senior role was a possibility. 23:04: I never would've connected those dots, but I really appreciate Rice opening up the opportunity for women to hear from other women. 23:26: It's just a little different when it's mostly women in the room, and you feel safe to ask some questions that you just don't feel safe to ask in some other spaces. That's just kind of the way that goes. So, I appreciate the opportunity.On navigating AI ethics without a roadmapThe technology is just changing really quickly, which makes this a very exciting space to be in, but it makes it really challenging around ethics. One of the other, I think, challenges in this space is, because it's fairly new, it's changing rapidly, so the technology is changing rapidly. The legal landscape is changing really rapidly, also. So, some of the partners that we tend to go to for playbooks in these spaces don't have a fully baked playbook in this space. A lot of organizations are needing to define and figure out their approach to ethics and AI together. So, at Worley, we're approaching that with a pretty comprehensive approach that includes our AI experts, of course, our legal experts. We want to ensure that we've got our operations involved in that. They're the ones that are, boots on the ground and are going to be using these tools. We've had to cast a pretty wide net, but we've had to do a lot of discovering and shaping for ourselves.The challenge of deploying AI thoughtfully03:05: There definitely are some roadblocks in keeping pace. And the risk and the ethical concerns is one of those. But I would say, also, having the right skill set in your workforce and upskilling your workforce — that's a challenge. There's a real opportunity for people who know their business very well and do the work to learn how to deploy AI in their field, in their area. It's that combination of skills. I think there are a lot of very smart people doing very smart things to build really amazing technology. What I think a lot of businesses have challenges with and where we face a bit of a roadblock is, how do you deploy those tools well in a breadth of different businesses?Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Summer Husband | Rice University
