1. ==> How AI Is Already at Work in Your Healthcare
Most Americans think AI in healthcare is still experimental. Anmol Madan says we’re already living through one of the biggest transformations in modern medicine, and most people just don't see it. As founder and CEO of RadiantGraph, former Chief Data Scientist at Livongo and Teladoc Health, and founder of Ginger, one of the first AI-powered behavioral healthcare companies, Anmol has spent more than two decades building the technology that's reshaping healthcare from the inside. He can pull back the curtain on what's actually happening inside health plans, hospitals, and healthcare organizations, separating reality from hype and explaining the changes that are quietly affecting millions of Americans today. He’ll explain how healthcare is quietly becoming autonomous, the ways AI is making the experience increasingly personalized and why he believes that’s a good thing. Anmol Madan is the author of “The Machines Will See You Now: A Human Roadmap to Autonomous Health Care.” Contact Johanna Ramos-Boyer at (703) 646-5137 (office); (703) 400-1099 (cell) or Erin Bolden at (703) 980-2705 (office)
2. ==> 4 Million Americans Have Lost Food Aid. More to Come
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the largest food assistance program in the country, is undergoing a massive overhaul, with many changes yet to come. Already, more than 4 million people – many them children – are estimated to have lost the critical food aid since last July when a sweeping Republican tax and spending package became law. Starsky Wilson, president of the Children’s Defense Fund, a child advocacy group, says he has been alarmed by the speed of the tax law’s impact and warns that more cuts will take effect later this year. “There could be an even greater sense of desperation among children and their families,” he says. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act included major changes to the food assistance program. SNAP has already been tightening eligibility, but the biggest shift will come in October when states will need to pay if they want to keep the program going. If they don’t, neither food banks nor existing government programs would have the capacity to fill the gap, according to Wilson. “There’s no replacement for SNAP if a state gets rid of it,” he says.

3. ==> Actor Clark Moore From Hulu's ‘Furious’
Critics are calling Hulu's new crime thriller, Furious, savage, smart and addictive. Written by Elizabeth Meriwether and inspired by the 1987 film ‘Black Widow,’ the series stars Emmy Rossum as an FBI agent obsessed with a female serial killer who is targeting the city’s elite. Actor Clark Moore plays Caleb Easton, a judge and the son of a billionaire. He’s also the killer's first victim. Invite Moore to talk about the show and his pivotal role and share behind-the-scenes stories from the twisty, funny thriller. Moore's career highlights include a recurring role as D.A. Stanny Sanders in the ABC limited series Women of the Movement, executive produced by Will Smith and Jay-Z, and a leading performance in the Amazon Prime series Lore.

4. ==> The Sandwich Generation is a Workplace Retention Issue
Millions of Millennial and Gen X workers are caught between aging parents who need care and children who still depend on them. They are also the employees that companies have spent years developing into leaders, and the ones most likely to walk if that squeeze goes unaddressed. Workplace expert Andy Challenger says, "This is a workforce issue, not a personal issue. Sandwiched caregivers cut hours, decline promotions, and sometimes leave their organizations entirely. That's talent walking out the door, and it's often the experienced, mid-career talent you spent years developing." He says, "Flexibility is the single most important thing employers can offer to caregivers. A doctor's appointment for an aging parent doesn't respect a 9-to-5 calendar. Neither does a sick kindergartener. Remote and hybrid schedules, flexible start and stop times, and compressed workweeks let caregivers manage the unpredictable without stepping off their career track." He says other ways employers can support caregiving workers include normalizing eldercare (not just childcare), offering caregiving leave and making it usable, and training managers to ask and listen. Andy Challenger is chief revenue officer for Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an outplacement and executive coaching firm.

5. ==> New Tool to Avoid Career-Damaging Social Media Posts
Most people should know by now that posting things online can come back to haunt you. It can also get you fired. Or keep you from being hired! According to research by CareerBuilder, 34% of employers have reprimanded or terminated an employee because of online activity, while 57% have discovered social media content that caused them not to hire a candidate. For those who are worried about their ability to self-check, or who are unclear about boundaries, a new tool called PostCheck could help you avoid becoming the next cautionary tale. Unlike traditional AI writing or sentiment tools, PostCheck analyzes draft social media posts, emails, direct messages, and other digital communications for potential career, legal, financial, and reputational risk before they're published. The platform was developed using real-world crisis communications and public relations expertise, giving users a practical "five-second reality check" before they hit send. Ask creator Ryan McCormick: What are the worst cases of posts destroying entire careers? How fast does it happen? Should people share their political/social views online, especially if they're friends with co-workers? What makes PostCheck unique? Couldn't people use regular AI and get the same response?

6. ==> How Replacing Workers With AI Could Backfire
AI has already been cited in more than 100,000 U.S. job cuts this year. That’s more than any other reason companies give for layoffs, according to Newsweek. But are businesses sacrificing the very qualities that drive long-term success? Startup strategist and attorney Douglas Park says the companies that thrive in the AI era won't simply have the best technology—they'll know how to combine AI with human creativity, judgment, and smart strategy. Drawing on more than 25 years advising companies, Park reveals the costly AI mistakes many leaders are making, why products are becoming easier to copy, and why people and competitive positioning matter more than ever. Douglas is a Silicon Valley attorney, former business professor, startup advisor and the author of “Starting Startups.” His research-based 3P Framework helps organizations align their people, products, and position to compete in a rapidly changing economy.

7. ==> Great Business Show: How to Use Visual Thinking in the Age of AI
What if your messy stick figures could transform stalled meetings into breakthrough moments? Lisa Rothstein, “New Yorker” cartoonist and former advertising creative, has discovered that imperfect doodles beat perfect presentations every single time—and the science backs her up. In interviews, Rothstein will reveal how simple sketches get buy-in faster than any PowerPoint deck, why drawing badly creates psychological safety that "perfect" can't match, and how to use visual thinking in the age of AI to stand out as authentically human. Drawing from her book “Drawing Out Your Genius,” she'll share quick techniques anyone can use to simplify complex ideas, kickstart innovation, and finally get teams speaking the same language. Ask her: You say "the worse it looks, the better it works"—how does that make sense? What kinds of problems can this technique help you solve? How can non-artists use drawing to get breakthrough results this week? Contact Lisa Rothstein at (310) 388-8093; Lrothstein@rtirguests.com
8. ==> The Reason You’re Stuck Has Nothing to Do with Willpower
If willpower were enough, you'd already be free from negativity in your life. “What keeps people stuck isn’t a lack of motivation, it’s the nervous system holding unresolved survival responses from the past,” according to Lisa Morgan. “Real change happens when we work with the body, not against it.” Lisa’s world fell apart when panic and anxiety brought her to her knees. This became the foundation of her life’s work. Lisa is a master coach, intuitive guide, and soul-level healer who helps people break free from hidden blocks and rediscover who they truly are. Through her signature framework, Free Your Soul to Soar™, she bridges neuroscience and energy psychology to help people transform to reclaim their joy, worth, and wings.

10. ==> The Real Cost of Crime and Who Pays
Crime isn’t just a public safety issue—it’s a major financial burden. In fact, it costs U.S. taxpayers an estimated $100 billion every year. Crime prevention consultant Stephanie Mann says most strategies focus on reacting after crimes occur rather than addressing the conditions that allow them to grow. Drawing from more than 40 years of experience, she explains why traditional enforcement-heavy approaches often fail to reduce long-term costs and what’s working instead. On your show, she’ll reveal how community-based strategies reduce crime, lower taxpayer expenses, and create safer neighborhoods without increasing budgets. She also explains why trust, local engagement, and prevention are more cost-effective than punishment alone. This is a practical, solutions-driven conversation that reframes crime as an economic issue and gives audiences a new way to think about where their tax dollars go.

11. ==> High Rent, High Anxiety: Coping with America’s Affordability Crisis
A third of Americans now spend more than 30% of their income on rent, and in major cities, it’s often over 50%. But the financial strain is only half the story. Darius Ross says the mental toll of this affordability crisis is eroding resilience, fueling chronic stress, and keeping people stuck in survival mode. As a former homeless teen who became a successful entrepreneur, Darius offers a grounded, street-smart perspective that connects with audiences of all backgrounds. His mindset strategies blend lived experience with real-life tools for navigating uncertainty, managing trauma, and staying motivated—even when the math doesn’t add up. In this timely conversation, Darius doesn’t just unpack the crisis, he helps audiences cope, shift their mindset, and take their next step forward. Darius Ross is the author of “Mastering the TPS Blueprint,” a speaker on trauma and transformation, and a community advocate who helps underserved youth rise.

12. ==> Signs Your Body is Asking for Change This Summer
With 6 in 10 U.S. adults living with chronic disease, summer health resets often focus on surface fixes. But what if lasting improvement requires looking beyond symptoms and asking what the body may be responding to beneath the surface? On this timely summer show, Marcel Vögeli explores how long-term stress, suppressed conflict, and emotional overload can influence physical health, and why two people with the same diagnosis can heal at very different rates. After eight years of intensive autoimmune treatment that managed symptoms but didn’t restore his life, Marcel began examining deeper stress patterns in his own story. He has been hospital-free since 2012. Marcel Vögeli is spokesperson for The Key to Self-Liberation by the late Christiane Beerlandt. Contact Marcel Vögeli at Mvogeli@rtirguests.com
13. ==> Are You Asking the Wrong Questions About God?
A growing number of Americans are walking away from organized religion. Yet, many continue searching for meaning, purpose, and truth. Author Gary Meisner believes the problem may not be a lack of interest in God—but the questions we're asking about God in the first place. After spending more than 20 years as a skeptical, materialist agnostic, Gary experienced something he could not explain through reason alone, prompting him to reexamine his assumptions. Known internationally for his work on the golden ratio and patterns in nature, he now explores the intersection of science, philosophy, and faith. In his book “Life Through a New Lens—Finding God Where Reason and Faith Meet,” Gary invites skeptics, agnostics, and seekers to consider whether their doubts may be based on misconceptions about what God is—or could be.

14. ==> What if Before You Were Born, You Chose This Life?
What if the life you’re living—including its struggles, its losses, and its ordinary moments—was chosen by you before you arrived? Doreen Mary Bray, who has worked between worlds for over 40 years as a naturopath and mystical guide, teaches that souls don’t stumble into human life. They long for it, wait for it, and select it with intention — choosing parents, place, and form for the privilege of embodiment. Bray will reveal what it means to live as a soul that chose this life, and why that single shift in understanding transforms everything. She’ll explore how souls navigate the journey toward incarnation and why being human is not a burden to transcend, but a gift of extraordinary rarity. For anyone who has ever felt that life is happening to them, Bray offers a radical reframe: you didn’t land here by accident. Doreen Mary Bray is the author of Drawing “The Angel and the Avatar.” Contact her at (438) 802-0280; Dbray@rtirguests.com
15. ==> Children's Books: The Most Underrated Health Tool
Most parents see children's books as entertainment. Kenneth Korber, a health literacy expert, believes they can also be powerful tools for improving children's health. After two decades as a clinician, he wrote and published “The Musical Adventures of Grace” series to extend the patient office visit into bedtime reading, helping families reinforce important health and wellness lessons at home. His engaging stories and characters transform complex medical topics into age-appropriate adventures that children actually enjoy. Ken’s approach encourages healthy habits, eases childhood anxiety and fears, and strengthens literacy at the same time. “Storytelling may be one of the most effective—and overlooked—ways to improve public health, empower families, and help children build lifelong healthy behaviors, one bedtime story at a time,” he says.
