In this episode, we hear from Bruno Aziza, Group Vice President at AI and Data Analytics at Oracle. Aziza encourages his customers to think of the AI acronym not simply as artificial intelligence, but rather as an "applied and invisible" form of augmentation that allows organizations and individuals to get to their end goals faster.
Data analysts spend about 80% of their time just preparing data before it can even be analyzed. By applying AI, that time can be cut to nearly nothing, errors can be reduced, and business analysts can reappropriate their time. This allows companies to analyze more efficiently and ask better questions to create a more productive organization.
Listen in to hear Aziza share more, including specific examples of company successes. Visit Oracle.com for more information. Aziza also encourages you to learn from customer stories and interviews in his web series, Destination:Insight, on The Oracle Analytics YouTube page.
Not long ago, blogging was an activity done primarily by hobbyists, but over time it has evolved into something that brands embrace in order to boost awareness of and advertise their products. According to Lindsay Tjepkema, the same trend is playing out with podcasts.
In today's episode, she discusses her work with Casted, a High Alpha portfolio company based in Indianapolis that's offering the world's first-ever B2B podcasting platform. Casted is helping podcasting companies and hosts make the very most of every single episode rather than follow the "one and done" method that dominates the arena.

Modern athletic shoes seem to be constantly changing and improving, with the newest versions usually coming out with extra padding in certain locations and backed by claims of being good for your body by absorbing the shock of running. But does anyone ever ask to see the evidence that supports the claims these major shoe companies are making? Is there anything to be said for less padding…for a shoe that allows the foot to function more in the way that it would without a shoe at all? According to Steven Sashen and a growing body of research, the answer is a resounding yes.
Steven Sashen is now the head of Xero Shoes, a company that focuses on letting your foot do what it was meant to do: flex, bend and actually feel the surface it's contacting. The modern shoe restricts this movement and prevents this sensation, essentially immobilizing your foot, and as a result, weakening it over time.
In today's episode, Sashen discusses the ins and outs of his products, the science behind their design and how an understanding of human anatomy guided it, and his personal experience with and without Xero Shoes.

In this episode, we hear from Gaetan Chevalier, Ph.D. in engineering physics. Dr. Chevalier is the director of the Earthing Institute, an organization dedicated to research and education on the benefits of earthing. Earthing, known more commonly as "grounding" in the United States, takes place when our body is in direct contact with the earth. Research has suggested that time spent grounding can help calm the nervous system, relax muscles, and reduce pain and inflammation.
Dr. Chevalier explains that the body's immune system uses acids when fighting infection, and if there are insufficient electrons to neutralize these acids, the increased acidity leads to further damaged cells, thereby creating a positive feedback loop of inflammation. Because the earth's surface is negatively charged, time spent grounding enables the body to neutralize its otherwise acidic state. Dr. Chevalier has seen improvements to many inflammatory conditions, including arthritis, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and many cancers. For those whose geographic location, lifestyle, or mobility limits their ability to walk barefoot outside or sit on the grass, sand, or pavement, there is an array of products designed to allow for grounding—even when you sleep!

Katherine Brown, holistic health coach, lifestyle designer, and founder of Just Bein' Honest (justbeinhonest.com) talks about the many ways that we can make dietary and health changes that will improve our lives.
Brown is passionate about health. Unfortunately, many people suffer from chronic diseases and/or daily pain, and they are simply unaware that their own patterns, lifestyles, nutrition, and behaviors are causing their poor health. But the good news is, for most, changes can bring dramatic improvement. Brown's mission is to help people restore their gut health so they can mentally and physically perform at optimum levels.
Brown talks about her passion for sharing the secrets to good health. From mental awareness to body awareness, incorporating fitness and nutrition, Brown's methodology is proven to reshape the body and mind and improve health. Brown talks about her background and the neurological issues she experienced earlier in her life.
She talks about the many ways she works with people. Brown focuses on mental awareness first and how we talk to ourselves, and only after making progress there does she move on to body awareness, posture, exercise, etc. But this is only the surface; she goes deep with her clients and really assesses their issues to help them improve their lives in multiple ways.
Brown talks about her abilities to connect with people and the forces of various energies. She explains the basic tenets of her work with clients and the transformations they can make. Brown seeks to inspire people to enhance their health and well being as well as their overall lifestyle by providing a truthful perspective on eating healthy foods and reaching our potential on a mental and physical level.
Dr. James V. Hardt, President and Founder of Biocybernaut Institute, Inc., discusses his interesting work with brainwaves.
Dr. Hardt holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics from Carnegie Institute of Technology, as well as a Masters Degree in Psychology from Carnegie-Mellon University and a PhD in Psychology, also from Carnegie-Mellon University. Continuing his research and studies, Dr. Hardt immersed himself in intensive Post-Doctoral work in Psychophysiology at the Langley Porter Neuro-Psychiatric Institute of the University of California at San Francisco.
As Dr. Hardt explains, a biocybernaut is to inner space as an astronaut is to outer space. A biocybernaut utilizes advanced technology to go on an inner journey into their own mind. It's a journey of learning, growth, healing, and transformation. Dr. Hardt discusses their brainwave feedback training, and he shares that through this training people can become less anxious, increase their creativity by up to 50%, and simply become smarter across the board. The IQ boost, Dr. Hardt states is a remarkable 11.7 points, which stabilizes and is maintained. Dr. Hardt explains the origin of brainwave study which dates back to 1908. Dr. Hardt talks about his background and how he came to his current area of study and interest.
Dr. Hardt discusses the basic elements of their training, and he compares and contrasts it to zen meditation. He explains that this meditation over many years, will allow one to change their brainwaves. But Dr. Hardt wanted a method to impact brainwaves that was more efficient and could impact great change in a shorter period of time. He talks about alpha waves and the powerful technology that the Biocybernaut Institute utilizes. As he explains, they use technology to boost the microvolt levels about one-hundred thousand times so brainwaves can be read by the computers which then turn amplitude of the brainwaves into the loudness of musical tones. Thus, people can sit in soundproof chambers and listen to their brainwaves emit tones of flutes, clarinets, and oboes, etc., and when the music becomes louder, this means that you're making more alpha. Thus, whatever you are doing you keep doing, to increase and advance your brainwaves.
Mark Burhenne, DDS, author, and sought-after speaker, talks about his practice, his new bestseller, and ways we can improve our health.
Dr. Burhenne is the author of the #1 best seller, The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox, and is a respected practicing sleep medicine dentist in beautiful, Sunnyvale, California. He has over 30 years in dentistry.
Dr. Burhenne discusses his own personal experience with sleep apnea that led him to write his best-selling book, The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox. He gets into the heavy issues of his book and explains how the effects of sleep apnea and other sleep disorders and issues can leave people feeling less than their best, and can impact health negatively. If you wake up exhausted every morning in spite of your regular 7-8 hours of sleep, if you regularly make excuses for your lack of energy, if you snore so loud that you could wake your neighbors next door, grind your teeth, etc., you could be suffering from a sleep problem that needs further review.
Dr. Burhenne talks about how sleep apnea can produce dental warnings that are obvious signs that a problem exists. He explains how we sleep and the processes that take place that create sleep issues, obstructed breathing and other problems that interfere with our ability to get quality, restorative sleep.
And Dr. Burhenne shares his own personal experiences with sleep and nutrition as well. He talks about intermittent fasting, muscular and bite changes, and other issues that affect the body. And he provides valuable information on TMJ, pain in the jaw joint and clicking.
Dr. Burhenne is a celebrated TEDx speaker, and he shares his important advice and knowledge regularly in various media outlets, such as CNN, Yahoo!, CBS, HuffPost, Prevention, Men's Health, and The Washington Post.
Ann Merchant, Deputy Executive Director, Office of Communications at the National Academy of Sciences, discusses some of the important work the Academy has accomplished through the years.
Merchant's work is heavily focused in the planning of a variety of engaging science communications events, and the management of unique and interesting outreach programs that combine to contribute to a dramatic increase in overall public understanding of science.
Merchant discusses the origin of the National Academy of Sciences way back in 1863, created under the authority of President Abraham Lincoln's administration with the goal of utilizing scientists and engineers to help guide policy initiatives in regard to important scientific endeavors and achievements. From the creation of the national park system to the prevention of smoking on airlines, the National Academy of Sciences has been instrumental in shaping American policy.
Merchant discusses some of the important issues that they are facing currently, such as those in health and medicine. From long term health to the culture of health, the National Academy of Sciences is working toward improvements in a myriad of areas. As Merchant states, they are constantly releasing new studies on medical issues and diseases, exposures, and other issues that provide important scientific information and guidelines that can help to promote good health. Nearly every day they are releasing new information, which keeps them busy, but the work is important.
The Deputy Executive Director talks about how their many reports and videos are released, and how some of their information is translated into multiple languages to truly best serve an increasingly diverse population. Merchant states that it is most important to circulate information that people need in a form that they can grasp easily and thus make the most use of it for their lives. And that was the goal in Lincoln's time, and it is still the goal today, to help as many people as possible by enriching their knowledge base with important and useful information, which subsequently affects policy for the betterment of society as a whole.
Imagine reclining in a large, futuristic-looking medical device for 30 minutes to an hour and leaving feeling significantly more relaxed, and knowing that after a few more sessions, any problem you may have with energy levels, pain, sleep, or digestive processes would begin to resolve. It sounds unlikely, or at least too good to be true, but it's exactly what's being offered by a new technology developed at Magneceutical Health.
CEO and president of the company, Allen Braswell, joins the podcast to discuss all the details of the device, the mechanism, and the science behind how and why it works. He explains the importance of bringing the two branches of the autonomic nervous system into balance, what heart rate variability can tell us about our health, and how stimulation of the vagus nerve can improve these metrics.
