Pandemic round 2… Round 3… Round 4? Covid variants are causing a new surge in infections and, as many of us may have guessed, covid could be here to stay. More countries are back in lockdown and in Florida, a condo collapsed on the same day the new infrastructure deal passed. Is the world collapsing under covid mutations or is it just infrastructure? Jack Russo talks with Dr Leonard Hayflick about the possibility of covid becoming as common as the influenza virus and how we treat this virus moving forward.

It seems you can get just about anything shipped to your front door these days saving us from trips to grocery stores and shopping malls when our schedules don’t allow it – but what about services? Quarantine haircuts trended as a meme when barber shops and salons were forced to close during the pandemic, but now that things are opening again many of us don’t want to get in the car to get our hair cut. Enter Jarryd Dollard, jazz musician & mobile hair stylist, whose college side hustle has evolved into something what many believe could be the new norm for analog professional services. Jack Russo finds out from Jarryd if customers are aching to get back into the chair or if backyard haircuts are the pandemic trend that is here to stay.

Trying to help people stay healthy without making unnecessary trips to the doctor’s office is the goal of every healthcare professional. That’s why when the pandemic struck, healthcare professionals were left scratching their heads trying to figure out how prevent the spread of covid. Advanced practice registered nurse Michelle Gulizio believes that if you really take the time to get to know your patients, they will tell you everything you need to know to help them care for their bodies. As the medical director of THE DRIPBaR, Michelle hooks up patients to a prescribed IV specifically formulated to meet their individual needs. Jack Russo asks out how this movement could be the preventative medicine we always needed it to be.

Traveling has become an absolute nightmare since the pandemic started, but it hasn't put the kibosh on things quite yet. Restrictions and weeks of quarantining have travelers thinking differently about where they go and how they vacation. Let’s take a trip over to Samui Island in Thailand where Tim Dean-Smith is busy constructing luxury apartments, villas and penthouses that are attracting vacationers who stay for months at a time, that is if decide to make Samui Island their permanent home. Jack Russo asks if this resort island has been a complete paradise throughout the pandemic or if they have had to pivot and adapt just like the rest of the world.

Since the 1970’s Silicon Valley has been the center of technology and entrepreneurship. While those things never belonged to Silicon Valley exclusively, it certainly was the place to be when you launched your startup. Fast forward 50 years and Silicon Valley is still the global powerhouse, albeit upon shifting sands. The SV mentality is on the move and Tampa is the spot for founders and investors in Florida. Marc Blumenthal tells Jack Russo how his venture capital firm, Florida Funders, is turning the Sunshine State into the Startup State.

Covid data is rolling out and though the numbers may differ depending on where you live, we are all learning about how the covid vaccine (or any vaccine) is made and how it works in our bodies. No matter where you stand on vaccine mandates, one good aspect of this discussion has been making health consciousness part of our life in ways we never did before. It’s very possible that the pandemic has become a springboard for younger generations to increase their understanding of the value of good health and medical treatments, ensuring their lives and future generations put quality living at the forefront of their agenda. It is also likely that the millions of Americans who refuse to vaccinate will teach their children similar sentiments. Jack Russo and Leonard Hayflick discuss the future of health literacy in the United States as we move forward in a post-pandemic world.

A steadfast rule of being a judge is remaining impartial to the case before you…. So why did over 100 judges break the law and take on cases where they had financial interests? Part of the problem could lie in that many (if not all) of these judges have a professional manage their investments leaving the judges ignorant of their involvement. It would be a huge undertaking for a new judge to come in and retry all these cases which would take up years of court time, but Jack Russo and Bernie Marren both agree that the losers of these cases want their fair trial. All this data is public but is just now coming to light thanks to the AI that is catching all the bits and pieces humans miss. Has data analytics created enough havoc for the federal judiciary or is this just a small part of a larger problem that goes up to the Supreme Court?
