Did you know traditional breast cancer screenings can miss early signs of the disease?

In this episode, we get an exclusive look into MedCognetics, a company using AI to revolutionize breast cancer detection. Matt Watson chats with guest Tim Cogan, MedCognetics co-founder & CTO, about how AI can:
Catch cancer earlier: Imagine AI spotting subtle abnormalities that might escape the human eye, leading to earlier intervention and potentially better outcomes.
Free up doctors' time: AI could become a doctor's partner, prioritizing patients and allowing for more focused care.
Improve accuracy: AI algorithms trained on vast datasets might produce more consistent and accurate diagnoses than traditional methods.

But developing AI for healthcare isn't without its challenges. We'll also discuss:
The road to FDA approval: The rigorous process of getting AI-powered medical tools cleared for use ensures patient safety and efficacy.
Building unbiased AI: Ensuring diverse datasets and addressing potential biases in AI development is crucial for fair and accurate diagnoses.
The changing role of the CTO: Tim Cogan, a seasoned software developer, shares how his perspective on technology has shifted to focus on business goals and, ultimately, improving patient care.

Join our host, Matt Watson, a tech leader with over 20 years of experience, and Tim Cogan as they explore the exciting potential of AI in breast cancer screening. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of healthcare, medical technology, and the fight against cancer.

Are you tired of the same old outbound sales tactics that just don't work?

In this episode, we'll be joined by entrepreneur Steve Claydon, founder of The Outbound Game, to chat about shaking things up with gamification and personalization.

Steve used to be stuck in the trenches of sales, and let's face it, it can be a grind. But he realized there had to be a better way to motivate salespeople and drive results. That's where gamification came in. We'll hear how Steve used fun and competition to turn photo uploads and inventory management into a game, skyrocketing engagement and success for car dealerships.

But gamification is just one piece of the puzzle. Steve will also share his insights on personalized sales strategies, the power of video content, and why focusing on quality over quantity is the key to sales and marketing success. So, ditch the generic emails and phone calls, and get ready to learn how to stand out from the crowd and crush your goals.
