Gary Gulman is one of my all time favorite comedians. He's been on the podcast four times, sharing his tips and ideas. BUT...two years ago he had to quit. He was medication resistant clinically depressed. He quit everything. Then he came back, recovered from the Depression, and his new special "THE GREAT DEPRESH" is coming out on HBO Saturday. The tips he gives in the latest podcast with me are unbelievable. Not only for comedy but all creativity and entrepreneurship.

Let me share with you a personal story with the FDA . Our online database with The Medical Futurist Institute on artificial intelligence-based FDA-approved medical devices and algorithms was published and peer-reviewed on Nature’s digital health journal, npj Digital Medicine. I’ve been trying to get it accepted by the FDA, offering it to them for free. After numerous emails and using my best connections, I managed to pitch this to the FDA Digital Health Division. Their answer was that they’re not interested in the database, but are happy to connect me with an A.I consortium. My only question remains: if they don’t want our Nature-published, peer-reviewed database, where is THEIR database on A.I.-based, FDA approved medical technologies? WHERE? #fda #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #deeplearning #machinelearning …see more

You should never get mad at yourself for making new mistakes. It's how we learn. But if you find yourself making too many old mistakes, here are six tips that will help you improve the quality of your decision-making.

Should you abbreviate emotional intelligence as "EI" or "EQ"? Most researchers & academics prefer EI. But the term EQ (shorthand for “emotional intelligence quotient”) has become more popular and is even recognizable in multiple languages. This makes sense, if you think about how we use another term in daily conversation: “IQ.” If we say someone has a high IQ, that doesn’t mean we’ve seen their test results; it means that we think they’re smart. Or, in sports, when we say someone has a high basketball or football IQ, it means they understand the rules and strategy of the game more than the average person. This ability isn’t really measured, but it’s practical and easy to understand. Similarly, when we speak about a person’s EQ, we mean their ability to understand emotions and how they work. Of course, the value of that knowledge is limited if it can’t be put to use. In other words, true emotional intelligence (EI) = EQ, applied.

This good news from Gilead is best seen, IMO, in the context of the three-point health response: Treat the coronavirus illness better, Improve the identification of the virus and the ability to contain it, and Progress quickly towards full immunity. The third point would accelerate the journey to a full/simultaneous/durable economic restart but needs more time. In the interim,the first two influence the timing and risks of a partial restart, including minimizing a "W." #coronavirus #health #gilead #covid #covid19 …see more

Venmo  made paying friends social when it launched in 2009, and today, it’s made paying merchants social, too. Pay With Venmo lets anyone with a Venmo account shop and pay at 2M U.S. merchants that accept PayPal — with a single click. I talked with PayPal  COO Bill Ready  to get an inside look at how it works, the Instant Pay feature that is rolling out too and what both mean for the future of commerce — made social. …see more

“You can always tell who the pioneers are. They’re the ones with the arrows in their backs.” — Anonymous Politically Incorrect Person AR (augmented reality) has been put to good use in handsets with apps such as Google Translate, Snapchat, and Pokemon Go (not really AR, but AR-ish). Headsets have struggled to find customers. It’s easy to understand why. Just ask me and my fellow Google Glassholes how it feels to wear geeky eyewear in public. We may need to wait for eyewear where the technology is truly invisible to others, or until it becomes socially acceptable to wear Darth Vader or Stormtrooper helmets in public. Some may want to wait for implants or digital cataract replacements. Regardless of what’s coming, one thing is clear: this is a idea whose time has not yet come. That said, I am super excited about the possibilities of MR (mixed reality) and I truly believe it’s the next new, new thing. How will it work? Which application will capture consumers’ imaginations? That’s yet to be seen. …see more

When you arrive home, put the whole family to work. If you have kids that can help with the chores, let them. You and your spouse can work on different tasks simultaneously. If you think ahead, there might even be some things that you can get done before you leave. For instance, you might be able to order groceries online before you leave for vacation and get them delivered the night get home. That’s one task you won’t have to worry about when you return! …see more
