#53 Laura Garratt, Global Product Innovation 'Guru' in the Beauty industry, and Jess chat about VR filters, influencers, aging, niches, men, and much more on ONE TAKE WITH JESS

Great candid conversation with my lifelong fitness idol GILAD. Gilad Janklowicz is one of the world's most popular fitness personalities. As a pioneer in the fitness industry, he has helped millions (including me) stay fit with his popular TV fitness show "Bodies in Motion" which launched in 1983 and was filmed outdoors in beautiful Hawaii. I remember working out to GILAD's show every morning or taping it on my VCR. I would bring that VHS tape with me on vacation just to ensure that I got my workout in with Gilad - a handsome man with a fantastic physique and a great Israeli accent! Need I say more? I was hooked! His workouts were effective and fun. I am happy to report that both he and the show are still going strong, now celebrating 40 years on-air. In this interview, we talked about his life, how he got started, the challenges and the joys, the media industry, and of course health, nutrition, and wellness.

Experience GILAD for yourself! Look up some free workouts online or better yet, get the "GILAD TV" app for on-demand streaming. It's worth it!! Trust me. You will be hooked like I have been for over 3 decades! :-) https://www.giladondemand.com

In this episode of One Take with Jess, Miguel Navarro and Jess discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly about Generative AI (Artificial intelligence). Miguel is an seasoned digital leader and innovator. How does ChatGPT compare to an Alexa? What is Gen AI and how does it engage with us back and forth? Will AI eliminate jobs? Is it OK to prompt the AI with personal or proprietary infomation? Wise words: "Don't tell the AI anything you wouldn't tell your neighbor." Is AI just a bubble? What are the benefits and the fears? How can companies utilize AI to meet the needs of customers now and in the future? And sooo much more. Super conversation! I'm happy to have had this conversation with Miguel and you will be too atfter this podcast. If AI is new to you, jump into the pool and get to know the lingo. AI is already around us and it's here to stay.

#51 Dr. Kenneth Tomkovich and Jess chat about pioneering cryoablation for breast cancer tumors. Cryoablation is defined as using extreme cold (cryo) to distroy (ablate) tissue from the inside out. His work in cryoablation for breast cancer serves the patient with a gentler way to treat breast cancer tumors as compared to a traditional lumpectomy. Cryoablation is minimally invasive, less stressful on the patient, less recovery time, and no disfigurement. In most cases, a patient can have their ablation proceedure and then go out to lunch right after. Listen/watch for much more of our great chat on One Take with Jess.

On Jan 1st of this new year, Lord Truffington posted an emotional tweet expressing great gratitude to the NFT community at a time when he needed them the most. During the pandemic and the harsh lockdown in the UK, he felt more lost than ever feeling overwhelmingly lonely and depressed. In 9 months after discovering NFTs, he was back to being his cheerful self realizing that, while the profits were rewarding, it was the community of people and the strong relationships formed that breathed life back into to his self-confidence and his vision of the future. "They gave me hope again."
We talked much more about NFTs, a variety of projects including PAK, and shared some tips for newcomers to the space. While some feel it is too late to get in to NFTs, it is actually very early in the grand scheme of things. Please listen and share. #podcast #NFTs #NFT #metaverse #onetakewithjess #twitter #twitterspaces #discord #alpha #wagmi #gmfrens #christies #sothebys #NFTart
