    Taking Back Control of Your Health Data with Stephen Rouse of Savva || Zero Friction Podcast

    The future of business, AI, and innovation isn't built without friction. On Zero Friction, RevRx AI explores the ideas, technologies, and leaders shaping what comes next. In this episode, Terry sits down with Stephen Rouse, Co-Founder of Savva, to discuss how Savva is giving people a portable, AI-powered health record that lives on their phone instead of in the cloud. For about ten dollars a year, users can pull together their EHR data, wearables, and lab results into one place, then compare insights across multiple leading AI models to make sense of it all. Stephen's path into healthcare is anything but typical. From building Really Big Lights, an oversized Christmas light company that sold across nine countries, to a chance meeting on a Japan ski lift that pointed him toward biotech, his story is proof that the best founders don't always come from where you'd expect. Together, Terry and Stephen dig into why on-device storage matters, what most people don't realize about how their health data gets used, and where Savva is headed next as it launches across 70 countries in 40 languages. Episode at a glance: • The unexpected path from Christmas lights to biotech to Savva • How Savva pivoted from a QR code health record idea to an AI platform • Why on-device storage keeps user data out of the cloud entirely • Giving people the power to choose and compare across multiple AI models • Identifying Savva's ideal customer across chronic disease, fitness, and aging demographics • Why six billion people still don't have access to a personal health record • The B2C model and why Savva will never run on ads • Real beta user stories, from a digitized binder of records in the DRC to a forgotten urgent care visit • What most people don't know about HIPAA gaps in consumer health apps • Where Savva is headed with its Android launch and global expansion Savva Website: https://www.savva.ai/

    Cuddlist, Inc: Removing Workplace Friction with Human Connection

    30% of your workforce may be neurodivergent. Most companies have no idea how to support them. On the latest Zero Friction, I sat down with Keeley Shoup, CEO of Cuddlist, Inc. — and what started as a conversation about consent-based connection quickly became one of the most important discussions I've had about the neurodivergent workforce. Here's what stopped me cold: A significant and growing percentage of your team may be neurodivergent. And most workplace environments — the way we communicate, collaborate, and connect — were never designed with them in mind. That's not a culture problem. That's a performance problem. Keeley is doing the hard work of helping organizations understand what true inclusion actually requires — beyond the policy, beyond the training, beyond the checkbox. If you lead people, this conversation is for you. 🎙️ Zero Friction — Removing Barriers from Revenue Growth 🔗 [Link in comments] #ZeroFriction #NeurodivergentWorkforce #WorkplaceInclusion #Leadership #PsychologicalSafety #RevRxAI
