Last Call 2023

1 00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:04,070 Jesse L Hammonds: This is a special edition of the Healthy, Wealthy, 2 00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:07,800 and Wise podcast with your host, Dr. 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:08,340 William T. 4 00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:09,040 Choctaw. 5 00:00:09,369 --> 00:00:15,689 I'm Jesse Hammons, the the CPO and CTO. 6 00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:19,140 That's Chief Technical Officer and Chief Production Officer. 7 00:00:20,180 --> 00:00:21,840 What I wanted to do was just actually. 8 00:00:23,310 --> 00:00:27,610 Look back a little bit for a little while because I know that you want to get to 9 00:00:27,610 --> 00:00:31,440 your new year's celebration, depending on when you're listening to this, of course. 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:39,510 But it's been a, a fantastic voyage to use the the phrase. 11 00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:44,580 By the famous Greek philosophers, lakeside of Dayton, Ohio, a very 12 00:00:44,580 --> 00:00:49,890 fantastic voyage for the doctor and I kicking things off in January, we 13 00:00:49,890 --> 00:00:57,385 dropped an episode dealing with, obesity and boy we weren't impressed with it. 14 00:00:57,825 --> 00:01:02,145 But it was something that was published and then actually well received by 15 00:01:02,165 --> 00:01:04,295 those that could get through it. 16 00:01:05,285 --> 00:01:06,995 So what we decided to do. 17 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,600 As the year progressed was to remix that and redo it. 18 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:23,400 And so what came of that was actually the highest downloaded episode for 2023. 19 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,220 And that was obesity fact or fiction. 20 00:01:28,330 --> 00:01:33,160 That was back in April that we produced that. 21 00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:41,640 And let's see 2035 downloads and still going there. 22 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,380 That's one thing about the podcast or, or episodes. 23 00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:50,170 I should say of a podcast there, they are virtually evergreen. 24 00:01:51,230 --> 00:01:57,590 People might go online and start to Google what they have thoughts and they're 25 00:01:57,650 --> 00:01:59,350 trying to find out some information. 26 00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:04,030 And so they'll key in a keyword here or key phrase or something. 27 00:02:04,510 --> 00:02:10,010 And depending on how you're filtering everything on Google in 28 00:02:10,010 --> 00:02:14,590 the case of all, everything related to that keyword will come up. 29 00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:19,630 That includes videos and still photos. 30 00:02:19,630 --> 00:02:22,450 And commentary, information, that sort of thing. 31 00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:28,310 And podcast which is a combination of all of that, because these days 32 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,780 podcasts actually you get the audio and you can get the transcript. 33 00:02:34,565 --> 00:02:38,955 And yes, there's also video, in fact, you might even see this one. 34 00:02:38,965 --> 00:02:48,215 At any rate, obesity, fact or fiction 2034, 35 downloads back in April. 35 00:02:48,215 --> 00:02:54,295 And again, that was a remix of of an episode of January and then in May. 36 00:02:55,005 --> 00:02:59,135 We had health care's quality revolution. 37 00:02:59,535 --> 00:03:01,825 That's another aspect of. 38 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,110 The relationship that Dr Choctaw and I have we meet in a number 39 00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:09,390 of different tangents there, a number of different levels. 40 00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:12,160 And one of them is on total quality. 41 00:03:13,550 --> 00:03:18,520 He he's a guru himself and, and, and I was involved with it as well. 42 00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:25,750 And the the air force as well as at AT& T and that episode was well received 43 00:03:25,950 --> 00:03:31,340 back in may 1, 998 downloads it received. 44 00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:42,695 And then that was followed by in June with A I chat bot revolutionizing healthcare. 45 00:03:43,475 --> 00:03:44,165 Yes. 46 00:03:45,825 --> 00:03:49,455 As a matter of fact, I think they've got, I think one of the tools, one 47 00:03:49,455 --> 00:03:53,855 of the main tools in the healthcare industry, particularly in the 48 00:03:53,855 --> 00:03:57,715 surgery room, in the in surgery is. 49 00:03:57,950 --> 00:04:01,950 The da Vinci is, if I'm not, not mistaken, I didn't write that down, but I believe 50 00:04:01,950 --> 00:04:10,450 it was the da Vinci and it's a machine that the surgeons use to go farther than 51 00:04:10,450 --> 00:04:18,020 they've ever gone, you know, inside of a person there using very precise tools and. 52 00:04:18,490 --> 00:04:23,400 It's just amazing of what that particular tool can do. 53 00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:28,880 And you couple that with artificial intelligence and then you've really got 54 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,810 something now as in that podcast there. 55 00:04:32,810 --> 00:04:34,490 And I invite you to listen to it. 56 00:04:35,140 --> 00:04:40,420 The doctor did allude to the fact that we're not quite at. 57 00:04:41,265 --> 00:04:47,805 At the point of AI taking over surgery or anything like that, because there's 58 00:04:47,805 --> 00:04:51,955 a lot of involved with that, you know, legal stuff and other ethical stuff. 59 00:04:52,750 --> 00:04:58,260 Quite frankly but it is a great tool AI in healthcare. 60 00:04:58,490 --> 00:05:02,280 That's a great match as it is in many other industries. 61 00:05:02,670 --> 00:05:10,040 As we go forward, we'll be discovering a whole lot more of what AI can do and 62 00:05:10,050 --> 00:05:14,510 hopefully for the good, because there's some bad guys out there and they'll 63 00:05:14,510 --> 00:05:20,210 be looking to try to see what else he can do, but hopefully we'll have good 64 00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:27,490 enough guard rails that AI will be the blessing that I believe that it can be. 65 00:05:28,270 --> 00:05:30,270 Anyway, that was back in May. 66 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:35,660 Excuse me, June then we have a couple, at least one special mention for June. 67 00:05:36,270 --> 00:05:41,470 June also marked for the Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise podcast with Dr. 68 00:05:41,770 --> 00:05:42,270 William T. 69 00:05:42,270 --> 00:05:42,820 Choctaw. 70 00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:47,930 It, marked the beginning of, well, we added a format. 71 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,110 The interview format and the first person that we interviewed was a brother 72 00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:58,334 from my church brother James Katron. 73 00:05:59,015 --> 00:06:04,355 And his episode was empowering men to conquer prostate cancer 74 00:06:05,055 --> 00:06:07,945 and prioritizing health. 75 00:06:09,345 --> 00:06:10,475 That's a mouthful. 76 00:06:10,485 --> 00:06:14,005 However, it is very key and very important. 77 00:06:14,375 --> 00:06:18,535 I invite you to listen to that particular podcast as well. 78 00:06:19,135 --> 00:06:22,645 And again, it was our first interview and it was a great interview with 79 00:06:22,645 --> 00:06:28,995 a great brother let me see if I can bring that up real quick because 80 00:06:28,995 --> 00:06:32,995 I didn't get his numbers, but I think they were pretty good numbers. 81 00:06:34,435 --> 00:06:40,215 Let's go to, you can't see what I'm doing here or maybe you can 82 00:06:40,265 --> 00:06:41,865 I'm just looking at some, data. 83 00:06:43,285 --> 00:06:45,725 Let's see, let's go back to June real quick. 84 00:06:50,975 --> 00:06:51,405 Okay. 85 00:06:51,405 --> 00:06:51,725 Yeah. 86 00:06:51,755 --> 00:06:56,825 That received 1, 280 downloads. 87 00:06:57,475 --> 00:06:58,385 That's, pretty good. 88 00:06:58,595 --> 00:07:03,085 And it's still going strong, you know, again podcast. 89 00:07:04,970 --> 00:07:10,290 Like books, you know, are evergreen the difference being, or the well, I guess 90 00:07:10,290 --> 00:07:13,520 the key difference is podcasts are. 91 00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:19,160 Something that's more, that's more accessible than books because books, you 92 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,100 have to actually either order it online and wait for it to come in or go to the 93 00:07:24,130 --> 00:07:29,580 library or some other facility to read it. 94 00:07:30,290 --> 00:07:31,050 But with a podcast. 95 00:07:32,170 --> 00:07:37,900 All you have to do is subscribe to subscribe to whatever it is be it 96 00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:43,090 the whole podcast or a particular episode and is right there at 97 00:07:43,090 --> 00:07:46,110 your fingertips right there. 98 00:07:46,330 --> 00:07:48,000 So I encourage you to do that. 99 00:07:48,810 --> 00:07:53,670 And then that brings us to my birthday month and my wedding 100 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:55,160 anniversary month, July. 101 00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:57,850 lEt's see, what do we have here? 102 00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:01,420 The hidden truths of diabetes. 103 00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:05,750 And obesity, it was an interplay with Dr. 104 00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:10,569 William Choctaw as it's listed in the in the titles. 105 00:08:11,409 --> 00:08:16,059 And that came in at 1, 054 downloads. 106 00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:23,239 And it was, it was pretty popular or we had, I believe we had a masterclass 107 00:08:23,249 --> 00:08:28,979 on that particular weekend and we had some people in from, from out of town. 108 00:08:30,029 --> 00:08:34,319 They posed some great questions and a couple members from the 109 00:08:34,319 --> 00:08:35,939 church were there as well. 110 00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:43,029 And I think as it says in the intro there, you've got questions, he's got answers. 111 00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:45,309 Dr. 112 00:08:45,314 --> 00:08:51,069 Choctaw, I mean, he's just a great guy with a wealth of, 113 00:08:51,129 --> 00:08:52,869 of experience over 50 years. 114 00:08:53,849 --> 00:08:59,479 As a surgeon and he's been alive, obviously a lot longer than that, but he's 115 00:08:59,479 --> 00:09:05,539 got over 50 years as a surgeon and dealing with various people in various situations. 116 00:09:05,659 --> 00:09:11,680 He was also mayor of Walnut, California, and he had to deal 117 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,235 with diverse situations there. 118 00:09:15,135 --> 00:09:23,105 Anywho, I digress, a special mention, excuse me, in July and please forgive 119 00:09:23,105 --> 00:09:25,165 me as I take

00:11:29,974 --> 00:11:33,794 thAt young brother is going to do big things, big, big 153 00:11:33,794 --> 00:11:35,854 things for him and his family. 154 00:11:35,854 --> 00:11:38,284 I know that his, his grandfather, Dr. 155 00:11:38,284 --> 00:11:39,984 Choctaw is very proud of him. 156 00:11:40,614 --> 00:11:47,074 His episode was young athletic let's see young athletes at risk. 157 00:11:47,124 --> 00:11:52,734 I should say the reality of sudden cardiac arrest in sports. 158 00:11:54,544 --> 00:11:55,104 Let's see. 159 00:11:56,594 --> 00:11:57,354 Was that his? 160 00:12:00,184 --> 00:12:00,784 Was that his? 161 00:12:01,174 --> 00:12:03,004 I think I think that was his. 162 00:12:05,044 --> 00:12:05,844 I have to check that. 163 00:12:06,944 --> 00:12:11,334 I think that was his because I know around that time there was a lot of 164 00:12:11,434 --> 00:12:17,414 things going on medically speaking in sports, especially with as it pertained. 165 00:12:17,729 --> 00:12:23,219 To young athletes believe that that was around the time that Bronnie James had 166 00:12:23,219 --> 00:12:26,249 his episode up there, up there at USC. 167 00:12:26,929 --> 00:12:32,279 And so I'll check that and I'll come back and I'll correct that if possible there. 168 00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:33,209 But I wanted to. 169 00:12:33,914 --> 00:12:38,794 Give a special mention to Brother Vincent for taking the time out to 170 00:12:38,804 --> 00:12:46,844 interview and share his perspective on sports, on life itself in general. 171 00:12:47,404 --> 00:12:49,784 And it was a great episode. 172 00:12:49,844 --> 00:12:52,814 I know that the whole family is very proud of him. 173 00:12:53,444 --> 00:13:00,214 I believe he is going to, I think he's been accepted at one of Southern 174 00:13:00,214 --> 00:13:02,524 California's great universities. 175 00:13:03,124 --> 00:13:07,144 And we're, we're looking for great things from him. 176 00:13:08,004 --> 00:13:08,944 I can't say enough. 177 00:13:10,204 --> 00:13:11,504 I Was very impressed by him. 178 00:13:12,014 --> 00:13:16,144 Anywho let's see another special mention there. 179 00:13:16,204 --> 00:13:20,214 Oh, brother Katron coming in again. 180 00:13:20,869 --> 00:13:26,059 he Followed up on his earlier episode dealing with prostate 181 00:13:26,079 --> 00:13:29,399 with embracing faith at missed. 182 00:13:29,724 --> 00:13:34,664 Prostate cancer, a journey with James Katron and lessons 183 00:13:35,054 --> 00:13:37,044 on healthcare communication. 184 00:13:37,494 --> 00:13:45,464 And he was very passionate about the fact that men in general or specifically 185 00:13:45,474 --> 00:13:53,364 need to really step it up as far as, you know, taking care and talking about 186 00:13:53,394 -->

00:20:06,444 No, none other than sister Lorena's journey to public service, leading 262 00:20:06,444 --> 00:20:09,124 the way on a new podcasting host. 263 00:20:09,175 --> 00:20:10,037 Yeah, yeah. 264 00:20:10,037 --> 00:20:15,214 We made a transition in November from one podcasting platform to another. 265 00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:22,703 I won't mention any names or anything like that because I don't want to, you 266 00:20:22,703 --> 00:20:28,983 know, sound like I'm throwing anything or anyone up under the bridge as far as the 267 00:20:28,993 --> 00:20:35,070 platforms go it was a good change and I believe the doctor agrees with that. 268 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,200 It was something that just an opportunity presented itself 269 00:20:38,430 --> 00:20:39,950 and we took the opportunity. 270 00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:44,790 The podcast was growing, it's still growing and we needed to 271 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,630 transition to another platform there to help facilitate that growth. 272 00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:55,930 But at any rate sister Lorena's coming in at 197 downloads and 273 00:20:55,940 --> 00:20:57,860 that's on the new platform there. 274 00:20:58,310 --> 00:21:03,010 And that's outstanding because it's still going strong and still going 275 00:21:03,010 --> 00:21:08,690 strong and leading the way, of the, 10 episodes published on the new platform 276 00:21:08,740 --> 00:21:12,730 and of the 10, she's still number one or she is number one. 277 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,630 And so thank you, sister chalk, Todd. 278 00:21:15,780 --> 00:21:17,050 We appreciate that. 279 00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:18,770 Let's see here. 280 00:21:19,550 --> 00:21:21,590 We've got some special mentions here. 281 00:21:22,335 --> 00:21:24,765 Special mention going out to Pastor Dockery. 282 00:21:25,355 --> 00:21:26,615 This is in December. 283 00:21:27,105 --> 00:21:30,790 We had a lot of action going on in December, and pastor dr. 284 00:21:31,030 --> 00:21:32,740 Anthony l Dockery. 285 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:33,800 Hi. 286 00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:40,180 His his episode was on Teachability Inclusion and Finding Common Ground 287 00:21:40,810 --> 00:21:43,210 which are the military values. 288 00:21:43,745 --> 00:21:51,235 For ministry, a great episode, a seasoned veteran of the military, a 289 00:21:51,235 --> 00:21:58,045 fellow Air Force alumni like myself and a seasoned man of God in the ministry. 290 00:21:58,725 --> 00:22:03,875 You will be inspired and encouraged from that episode. 291 00:22:03,935 --> 00:22:08,855 So I invite you

--> 00:22:15,525 Oh yeah. 296 00:22:17,015 --> 00:22:21,125 Little old me stopped in for an episode basically, or kind 297 00:22:21,125 --> 00:22:25,455 of sort of to continue what Dr. 298 00:22:25,455 --> 00:22:32,405 Dockery started with as, as relates to transferable skills and, and parallels 299 00:22:32,415 --> 00:22:40,820 between the military in his case, ministry my case I guess, lay ministry, if you 300 00:22:40,820 --> 00:22:42,420 will, if that's a word, I believe it is. 301 00:22:42,870 --> 00:22:45,070 But yeah, but it was great. 302 00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:45,680 It was great. 303 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,090 As a matter of fact, my, in my episode, I tagged it at the 304 00:22:51,090 --> 00:22:53,850 end to stay tuned for part two. 305 00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:59,000 And three and four or whatever there's more, there's, there's 306 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,050 a whole lot more in store. 307 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,570 So please come on back and let's see here. 308 00:23:05,620 --> 00:23:12,150 One of the last episodes poetically of 2023 just dropped. 309 00:23:12,855 --> 00:23:18,105 A couple of days ago, and that was on sleep in that we're, we're 310 00:23:18,105 --> 00:23:24,435 putting 2023 to sleep so that it can, let's see, process the events. 311 00:23:25,170 --> 00:23:32,050 Of the past year, which is one of the, the tenets of sleep processing things that 312 00:23:32,290 --> 00:23:37,700 has, has happened that particular day and perhaps even before then and hopefully 313 00:23:38,180 --> 00:23:43,730 equipping the, the individual, or in this case, we're, we're using the year as a 314 00:23:43,730 --> 00:23:51,450 metaphor equipping them to move forward in the next day or in the next year. 315 00:23:51,870 --> 00:23:55,470 As we relate to 2023, are you following me? 316 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:56,920 Hopefully. 317 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:02,710 So at any rate that, and what is the other tenant of sleep? 318 00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:05,160 Restoration of energy. 319 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,230 Yes. 320 00:24:06,750 --> 00:24:08,250 The restoration of energy. 321 00:24:08,610 --> 00:24:15,820 So that's, that's processing of that day's events to equip a person to. 322 00:24:16,420 --> 00:24:21,960 Be ready to move forward the next day, as well as the restoration of energy, 323 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,890 because the whole total body goes through a whole lot during the day. 324 00:24:28,220 --> 00:24:34,370 And in regards to 2023, a whole lot has happened in 2023. 325 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,330 So it needs all of that sleep. 326 00:24:39,230 --> 00:24:43,900 It'll only be for a few seconds, of course because at the stroke of midnight, it 327 00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:47,740 will be 2024 and 2023 is out the door. 328 00:24:48,370 --> 00:24:52,170 So it'll need to be full strength because what do we have coming up? 329 00:24:53,340 --> 00:24:58,150 Yes, the general election and it's already been underway. 330 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:04,250 And is anybody's guess what the outcome will be? 331 00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:09,840 But, but Hey, you know, let's all pray together and stay together so 332 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,690 that we can get through that as well. 333 00:25:12,170 --> 00:25:15,760 Now we're going to wrap things up here with some shout outs. 334 00:25:16,365 --> 00:25:22,985 First give an honor to God who directs my path and orders my steps. 335 00:25:22,985 --> 00:25:29,535 Provides me with wisdom and strength to just continue to go and do and be 336 00:25:29,535 --> 00:25:37,085 to my wife the queen Latasha doing what we do, the doctor and I which is to 337 00:25:37,085 --> 00:25:40,075 produce quality content to help equip. 338 00:25:41,035 -->

so she provides that sacrificial support that. 341 00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:59,890 Without I wouldn't be able to pursue the things that I do. 342 00:26:00,410 --> 00:26:02,990 And so, babe, I really do appreciate that. 343 00:26:02,990 --> 00:26:06,380 And you, I love you and God bless you. 344 00:26:07,210 --> 00:26:13,640 And I say that for 2023, as well as ahead of time in 2024. 345 00:26:13,640
