In 1956, a British doctor named Alice Stewart made an alarming discovery. Pregnant women who were exposed to X-rays, she found, were more likely to have children who would die from cancer. 

We know now that the radiation from X-rays is indeed harmful. But at the time, Stewart’s finding flew in the face of the accepted narrative about X-rays—that they were the paragon of modern scientific achievement, and that their use would improve lives, not harm them.

But Stewart didn’t give up. Instead, she collaborated with a statistician named George Kneale, who said his job, simply, was “to prove Dr. Stewart wrong.”  In her 2012 TED Talk, Margaret Heffernan

How do you create and grow these brands when all warning signs are telling you to wait? I asked three other people who started or grew their companies under seemingly dire circumstances and used our collective stories to give you a six-step plan for starting a business at any time.

Take advantage of forced conditions

Although we can never control outside conditions like a pandemic or economic recession, we can choose how we respond to them. In 2008, I started my business because I needed to get out of my parents’ house

Activist Tamika Mallory had sharp words for Kentucky’s Attorney General Daniel Cameron Friday for failing to indict the police officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor.

“That is who you are Daniel Cameron,” Mallory screamed. “You are a coward, you are a sellout and you were used by the system to harm your own mama. Your own Black mama.”

Cameron announced last Wednesday that only one of the three officers who fired shots into Taylor’s home would be charged. Former officer Brett Hankison has been charged with three counts of wanton endangerment for shooting into the apartments of Taylor’s … Read the rest

10 ways to improve a podcast website for you or your clients

Are you building or maintaining a podcast website for you or one of your clients? With more than a million shows and 30 million episodes, podcasts have become a favorite for content consumers. If you haven’t built a podcast website yet, you’re bound to at some point.

No rules, restrictions, or limitations. It’s a central place where you or your client can say anything you want to listeners and potential listeners.

Furthermore, a podcast website is a place where collaborators, potential guests, reviewers, advertisers, and the media learn more about the show and its host. Having a professional and accessible platform makes the whole operation appear legitimate. When a new podcaster asks us how … Read the rest
