He was recognized in SEC’s 2023 Enablement Ones to Watch report. — Guest Quote “I look at enablement as more than just a content person. Going back to the original question of ‘what are we actually here to do? And does that equal a live group training?’ Most of the time, no. But a lot of people associate enablement with live group training. That's not what enablement is. So I think that's the larger question of really understanding what are we actually here to do and how can AI influence or impact that and just leveraging it as any other tool as you would to be more productive.” – Jonathan Kvarfordt — Time Stamps *(00:00) Episode Start *(01:08) Today’s Topic *(03:24) Introducing Jonathan Kvarfordt *(04:53) What is GTM AI Academy? *(08:30) AI is not just about speed *(14:40) The scaling power of AI *(18:43) Enabling on empathy *(22:42) Enablement cannot be replaced *(27:45) How to level up your enablement team immediately with AI *(32:28) Building the perfect AI prompt using GRACE — Links Connect with Jonathan Kvarfordt on LinkedIn Check out GTM AI Academy Connect with Steve Watt on LinkedIn Connect with Amber Mellano on LinkedIn Check out Seismic The State of AI in Enablement Report…

In her recently released memoir ON MY WAY BACK TO YOU, Sarah explains an universal story that was her own too, when she found herself one of 39 million Americans taking care of an ailing loved one, when her husband’s body just started shutting down and needed an immediate heart transplant. Sarah not only shares a love story with her husband, his heroic work to heal back to good health but also tips to handle and cope while simultaneously processing, triaging and coordinating as a caregiver as a dedicated life-partner/spouse and parent. She explains how she did it all with devotion, grit and grace. This video offers a short synopsis in her own words https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eZ5z6L-RMonXExrv7-lbH5rzgHaAHaah/view?usp=drive_link During it all, which included long drives to clinics, concerns about pain medication, an unfounded complaint of elder care abuse, a broken hip and just so much more, Sarah remained full of gratitude as a way to combat anxiety and took away so many gifts as explained in ON MY WAY BACK TO YOU: · STRENGTH Being a caregiver forces you to realize you own strength·
PURPOSE You must continue to keep doing what you’re doing – it gives you much purpose even if filled with grit·
NO SUGAR COATING You can’t sugar coat – you must be accepting and vulnerable when sharing how the patient is doing and how you’re feeling and managing as a caregiver·
GIVE YOURELF SOME SPACE It also encourages you to give yourself grace and forgiveness during the most dark and challenging of moments, be kind. Take time to gather your own thoughts and emotions too.·
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS AND SUPPORT You begin to really realize how strong a community you have both close-by and far away, if even a Zoom away·
GRATITUDE The ability to find and process gratitude becomes heightened in many ways · BE THERE You demonstrate and learn the simple act of showing-up and being there·
DEEPENS THE RELATIONSHIP It deepens how well you know someone·
PHYSICAL TOUCH Just being able to hold hands or kiss on the forehead – is so much more appreciated after a loved one was ill and you were unable to be together·
HUMOR – Laughing helps as a couple when applicable·
THE GIFT OF ORGAN DONATIONS, SECOND CHANCES AND INTERCONNECTIONS Most of all, the gift of a young, healthy heart – she and her family are so thankful, despite it coming from what they must assume was a family living in tragedy and grief – but the organ donation system, is a reminder how we are all interconnected and the preciousness of LIFE – and as Sarah shares, she’s so thankful to have annoying and wonderful Ben still with her -She has an incredible amount of tips she explains extremely effectively and efficiently and says to consider ON MY WAY BACK TO YOU a primer on caregiving. It’s really a life-safer if you’re finding yourself suddenly in that role and simply not prepared. Sarah joins Mark for a look at caregiving.

Ramaa.Krishnan, born and raised in India, aligned with a spiritual path and purpose from an early age. Her husband's career brought their family to the US in 1998 and she soon began sharing her perspectives and practices with others, helping them manage stress and live their lives more consciously. In 2006 she founded Full Bloomed Lotus Center for Self-Awareness, renting a studio space and expanding her circle. A difficult period in her own life had Ramaa digging deeper, uncovering old forgotten wounds, and exploring a deeper faith, beyond traditional practices. During the pandemic she closed the studio, moved her classes online, and used the time to write her first book, The Yoga of Self-Love: The Sacred Path to Wholeness and Healing through Inner-Child Work. The book is a step-by-step guide to self-discovery and healing, underscoring the power of reshaping our narratives, and affirming that while we cannot alter our past, we can find the freedom to change how we perceive it.

As the weather cools, take time to focus on your vein health. While people often associate vein health with varicose veins or other cosmetic concerns, maintaining healthy veins is essential for overall well-being. Your veins act as pathways, transporting blood efficiently through your body and playing a key role in keeping you feeling your best. According to Dr. John Chuback, a renowned expert in venous disease and the founder of VitasupportMD, a company dedicated to high-quality nutraceuticals for venous and lymphatic health, the veins in your body work hard to move blood back to your heart and ensure it flows in the right direction. "Healthy veins are crucial for smooth and efficient circulation," explains Dr. Chuback, a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon. "When vein health is compromised, it can lead to leg discomfort, fatigue, and affect your overall quality of life. Many people think of vein issues only in terms of varicose veins, but they play a much larger role in how your body feels and functions." Dr. Chuback emphasizes that supporting vein health doesn't have to be complicated. Simple adjustments to your daily routine can significantly improve how your veins function. His recommendations include: Staying Active: Regular movement helps push blood through your veins, preventing blood from pooling and keeping circulation strong. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, such as walking or cycling, most days of the week. Eating a Balanced Diet: Fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, along with proper hydration, can improve blood flow. Reducing salt intake helps to avoid water retention, which can strain your veins and lead to leg swelling. Avoid Smoking and Long Periods of Inactivity: Smoking damages blood vessels, making it harder for veins to function properly. If you have a sedentary job, be sure to take breaks and move around to keep your veins healthy. Doing toe raises and engaging your calf muscles while seated at your desk promotes blood flow as well. Recognizing symptoms of vein issues early is crucial for maintaining good vein health. "Watch for signs such as swelling in the legs or ankles, cramping, bulging veins, or dark discoloration of the skin," advises Dr. Chuback. "If any of these occur, it's important to consult a vein specialist. Early treatment options can include lifestyle changes, compression stockings, dietary supplements including flavonoids like MPFF and diosmin, or medical interventions that can improve vein health and prevent complications." This winter, prioritize vein health with simple daily habits that can help keep your veins functioning smoothly and ensure long-term comfort and mobility. When your veins are healthy and your legs feel great it is much easier to walk, exercise, and stay active which all have a positive impact on overall cardiovascular and heart health.

The focus of this episode is the new book "Upset Is Optional" by Karen Howard. Karen teaches readers how to Say Goodbye to Unnecessary Suffering . Karen Howard, a former Congressional committee staff member with four decades of experience in healthcare policy and author of "Upset is Optional," is here to share valuable insights from her book on alleviating election anxiety: • Create a Word Wall: Start by listening to your own words. Pay attention to the language you use when discussing the election. Create a word wall with words you want to use more, like "hope" and "encouraged," and words to use less, such as "scary" and "mad." This helps shift your mindset and focus on the possibility of a positive outcome. • Reframe Your Reactions: Change your perspective by reframing negative emotions. For example, transform frustration into curiosity, anger into bewilderment, and fear into compassion. This simple shift can help you manage your emotions more effectively and stay calmer during this intense time. • Set Your Mood: Start each day by setting a positive intention, like "Today, I will stay calm and centered." Perform frequent body scans throughout the day to check in with yourself and reset as needed. This practice helps you maintain a balanced and relaxed state of mind amidst election stress. • Serve the Seven Generations: Honor your past and be true to your future by ensuring that your mission serves not only your immediate needs, but also the three generations that came before you and the three generations that will follow. Reflect on the values and lessons passed down to you, and let them guide your actions. This long-term perspective can provide a sense of purpose and stability, helping you navigate election anxiety with resilience and determination. Karen Howard is the CEO and Executive Director of Organic & Natural Health Association, leading the organization for consumer health advocacy since its inception in 2014. With four decades of experience in healthcare policy, government relations, and organizational leadership, she is a visionary in advancing healthcare initiatives. She is the author of "Upset is Optional: Say Goodbye to Unnecessary Suffering" (March 2024), focusing on strategies to manage stress and anxiety.

So what happened to love? What’s behind the growing trend of "situationships" and why has this scenario been made even more precarious for Black women and other women of color? For anyone who’s been left wondering whether or not they are witnessing the collective collapse of traditional romantic love, sociologist Sabrina Strings has the answer– yes, they are, and the evidence is all around us. In THE END OF LOVE: Racism, Sexism, and the Death of Romance, Strings blends historical research, personal stories, and critical analysis of popular culture to trace the path that she believes has led to the demise of romantic partnerships, with an emphasis on how racism and anti-feminist ideology have been the driving force behind it. Sabrina Strings, professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will discuss: *How changes brought forward during the Civil Rights era resulted in Black men distancing themselves from Black and “insufficiently white” women and aligning themselves with white men in order to pursue a rise in personal status. *How men’s media counseled its audience to be wary of women’s intentions, narrowly selective in their choice of partners, or to avoid marriage all together. *The rise and fall of the Black is Beautiful movement. *The problematic portrayal of Black women in popular culture. *How the widespread availability of porn online has influenced sexual relationships and men’s expectations for partners. Sabrina Strings, PhD is professor and North Hall Chair of Black Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her book, Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia , won the 2020 Body and Embodiment Best Publication Award given by the American Sociological Association and was an Honorable Mention in the 2020 Sociology of Sex and Gender Distinguished Book Award, given by the American Sociological Association.

It’s estimated that 44 million Americans experience hearing loss, but only one-fifth get help. Research has shown that there is a significant relationship between hearing loss, cognitive decline and depression in the elderly. In 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that hearing aids can be sold over-the-counter without a prescription to adults over the age of 18. This long sought-after change helps consumers frustrated by expensive exams and even more expensive devices. World-renowned hearing expert Professor De Wet Swanepoel explains what this means for consumers this edition of Late Night Health. Learn how adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss are now able to buy OTC hearing aids online and in stores, without a prescription. The high cost of prescription hearing aids, which are not covered by basic Medicare, has discouraged millions from buying the devices. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT HEARING LOSS SOLUTIONS : ADVICE — Top hearing health & hearing loss prevention guidance CUTTING-EDGE — How hearing solutions like Lexie’s OTC hearing aids can change lives CHANGING THE STIGMA — How hearing loss impacts millions of Americans CRITICAL NEED — 700 million people worldwide will require hearing help by 2050 SPOKESPERSON BACKGROUND: De Wet Swanepoel, PhD. is professor of Audiology at the University of Pretoria, where he leads research for the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center for the Prevention of Deafness and Hearing Loss. He also holds an adjunct professorship at the University of Colorado School of Medicine as well as the former .

Just as big pharma has recently discovered a simple mechanism to reverse weight gain and obesity, it is highly likely that soon, we will discover something equally simple that triggers the onset of aging, postulates Joel Geiderman , a distinguished physician and professor at Cedars-Sinai and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA who is considered one of the pioneers of emergency medicine. It could be as simple as a protein we can block. And with AI speeding up research, Geiderman firmly believes the day we “cure” aging is not far off. This entirely plausible concept is the basis for his novel, The Plasma Cell Report . But then what? Geiderman cautions that so much could go wrong, and that society and our planet are simply not ready for nature’s course to change. He’d be happy to chat with you about this. Among the concerns he points to are: An ever-expanding population that will skew increasingly toward older people and could ostensibly double in number every twenty years. Uncertainty around whether Earth really has the natural resources - from energy to water and food - to support this ongoing population growth. Doubt about how to meet the increased need for infrastructure -- everything from transportation and housing to education and healthcare facilities. Questions over social issues such as entitlements such as social security and how to finance them as the number of retired people grows as a share of the population. Matters of equity: who would have access to the new treatments? What about those left behind? Moral issues such as: would we be interfering with a divine plan? Doesn’t nature know best? And in times like these, we must also consider: The risk of older generations maintaining a grip on top leadership positions to the detriment of change and renewal; and The potential dangers of lifetime terms for people in public office (e.g., the Supreme Court). As the father of the atomic bomb Robert Oppenheimer said, “The deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they are found because it is possible to find them.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support .…

She will also share vital information from a new study showing that parents are genuinely concerned about how screen time impacts the health of children. Dr. Wademan will also show how new breakthrough technologies can help children. One of these is the new ZEISS Single Vision SmartLife Lenses that are designed to meet the needs of children ages 6 to 19. This new technology adapts to the size of a growing child’s face and the way children hold phones and tablets closer to their eyes, due to their shorter arms and smaller proportions. Dr. Jen visits with Mark Alyn on this episode. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support .…

Can love survive the onslaught of chronic illness? Writer Sarah Cart shares how she became one of 39 million Americans taking care of an ailing loved one in ON MY WAY BACK TO YOU, One Couple’s Journey through Catastrophic Illness to Healing and Hope (Forefront Books; April 2, 2024). “My husband, Ben, just past his mid-fifties, was irrepressibly healthy and energetic until, suddenly, he wasn’t.” In suspenseful and heart-rending detail, Cart recounts how, beginning with an incurable autoimmune disease, her husband developed one life-threatening condition after another. As each month passed, she felt her best friend, this brilliant businessman, successful entrepreneur, and energetically engaged and organized father to their four sons, slipping away, until eventually they received devastating news: Ben needed a heart transplant. But that was only the tip of the iceberg. Two weeks after the COVID-19 lockdown, they realized Ben’s body was shutting down and his only hope was to get on the list and get that transplant now—in the midst of a pandemic. And that wasn’t even half of what was to come. Thrust into the role of nurse and caregiver, Cart required a deep well of faith, grit, and grace as she confronted doubts, fears, endless setbacks, aggravations, and red tape while struggling to help Ben regain whatever he could of all that had been lost. Cart reminds us that “there is certainly no promise that the health we enjoy this evening will be with us in the morning” and provides guidance for others in her shoes. Sooner or later, everyonewill either become a caregiver or need one. To help when time comes, she shares the questions to ask, the notes to take, the signs to never overlook, and the self-care necessary for the caregiver. ON MY WAY BACK TO YOU is more than a chronicle of Ben’s illness. It’s about love, resiliency, and the power of community: “When Ben was in the hospital, I felt all the people who’d ever loved him shining their light from the far reaches of the universe each time I begged them to do so.” It’s a roadmap through some of life’s greatest challenges and the journey of two people who used the power of love, determination, and endless patience to find their way back to each other.
