Dr. Ami Bhatt—practicing cardiologist, chief innovation officer, and chair of the FDA's digital health committee—joins Toby and a group of ON_Discourse members who to talk (privately) about what AI can and can't do in medicine. She argues that context, nuance, and edge cases will always belong to humans, while AI handles the compute-heavy work our brains can't do alone. The conversation spans wearables, why TikTok might be the most effective healthcare educator, and why the patient is no longer the "last mile" of healthcare.

Details in the show:

• Context, nuance, and edge cases: the three things AI can't replace
• Desperation is the mother of adoption": why healthcare finally embraced digital
• Patient agency vs. healthcare consumerism
• Why chatbots sometimes outperform doctors at explaining things
• TikTok as healthcare educator: meeting people where they are
• Blood pressure: the one metric everyone should track
• Wearables and the trust gap between doctors and devices

Toby sits down with Segun Oduolowu—journalist, media veteran, and executive communications coach—at CES to talk about what AI is doing to communication, editorial judgment, and slop. Segun has worked across CNN, network TV, and digital, and now coaches C-suite executives on how to actually sound like themselves. He's pessimistic. The algorithm rewards clicks over facts. TikTokers with no credentials outpace real journalists. CEOs send unedited ChatGPT memos and wonder why no one trusts them. Toby pushes back with a case for human+AI collaboration. They don't fully agree.

Details in the show:

• AI as Pandora's box: you can't tell what's real anymore
• The algorithm decides what's news—clicks over facts
• TikTokers with 5 million followers and no credentials outpacing legacy media
• The misspelling trick: do it wrong on purpose to boost engagement
• PNP: Personality and Proficiency—the only two things that matter
• AI as assistant, not voice: the rewrite is everything
• Why the younger generation can smell insincerity instantly

Our first podcast in 2026 is a joint episode. Toby and Dan join Matt Britton, host of the Speed of Culture podcast and CEO of Suzy, at CES to debate who wins when everyone can make. They clash on how fast AI is actually reshaping the labor market, whether big tech layoffs are really AI-driven, and what happens to creative careers when craft gets democratized. Dan pushes back. Matt doubles down. Nobody fully agrees.

Details of the show:

• The pace debate: Is AI is moving faster than anything we've seen or is it actually moving slowly.
• Big tech layoffs aren't what they seem: normal market cycle or AI storm?
• Democratization lowers quality: the rise of good taste.
• The $300K creative director is at risk: the "good enough" middle tier of creative careers is getting squeezed.
• Zero to one is easy now. One to hundred is still hard: You can build a $2M ARR company solo, but building the next Apple still requires people, tenacity, and systems.
• AI isolates us: The tools are optimized to keep you alone. The opportunity is in building for human connection, not just automation.
