Show Notes
This episode of Today in Tech is different.
Instead of talking about enterprise software or cybersecurity, we step inside one man’s fight for survival — and the revolutionary medical technology that helped save his life.
Keith Shaw is joined by Douglas Meijer (co-chairman, Meijer Inc.) and Dr. Brandon Mancini of BAMF Health to tell the astonishing story of how an often-overlooked cancer treatment called theranostics helped identify and target tumors that surgery and radiation couldn’t reach. After traveling overseas to receive life-saving care, Doug returned with a mission: bring this breakthrough to the United States so other patients wouldn’t have to leave the country for hope.
In this deeply personal conversation, they explore:
* What it feels like to receive a life-changing diagnosis
* How precision medicine is replacing “one-size-fits-all” cancer treatments
* Why theranostics acts like a guided missile against cancer — sparing healthy cells
* How a new wave of AI is accelerating imaging, diagnosis, and personalized care
* The barriers that still keep cutting-edge treatments out of reach for many patients
* Why the future of cancer care may finally be shifting toward real cures
This is a story about technology — but more importantly, it’s about hope, perseverance, and saving lives.
If you or someone you love has faced cancer, this episode shows what’s now possible — and why the next decade could be the most hopeful in cancer treatment history.

Companies have spent billions racing to adopt artificial intelligence. But as AI moves from experimentation into production, are businesses discovering that the real costs are much higher than expected?
AI agents are moving beyond simple chatbots and isolated tasks. The next step is agent-to-agent communication, where AI systems operated by different companies could negotiate, exchange information, make decisions and even conduct business with each other.
AI was supposed to save us time. Instead, it may be creating a new problem: AI slop (polished-looking emails, reports, presentations, research and code that someone else has to review, fact-check and fix).
AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot are spreading rapidly through the workplace, but simply giving employees access to AI isn't the same as teaching them how to use it effectively.
Hackers are using AI, social engineering, and legitimate business tools to make cyberattacks look like normal work. Instead of breaking through security systems, they study how employees communicate, impersonate trusted vendors, manipulate email conversations, and exploit everyday business processes.
