You hear "AI" 50 times a day. Nobody actually tells you what to do with it.

This week, Cory Silva sat down with Host, Matt August to fix that. Cory's the co-founder of Six Summit, an AI software agency building real tools for real businesses. He went from a failed tech startup and 10 years in corporate retail to founding an AI company — all in the last three years, while becoming a dad and nearly running out of money.

We get into what your business should be doing with AI this week, the conversation you need to have with your kids, what your job actually looks like two years from now, and the one habit that puts you ahead of almost everyone still typing into ChatGPT like it's Google.

If AI feels like it's moving too fast and nobody's slowing down to explain it, this is the one to watch.

What if a device on your kitchen counter could track every pill you take, alert your doctor in real time, and flag opioid addiction before it takes hold? That's exactly what Shane built.

In this episode of August After Dark, we sit down with the founder of Custom Health — a UBC pharmacist who rewrote Canadian legislation and is now taking his company public on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Shane shares the story behind Spencer, Custom Health's smart medication dispenser that replaces a cabinet full of pill bottles with a single daily pouch — connected to a 24/7 clinical team that actually monitors whether your medication is working.

We talk about the opioid crisis in a way you haven't heard before — the full-image tracking of a tablet from pharmacy shelf to patient hand, and the AI that flags opioid use disorder before a doctor's appointment ever happens.

If you want to understand where healthcare is actually going — this episode is for you.

This podcast episode lives at the intersection of hope, community, and the quiet heroism of parenthood.

It is not a cancer story — it is a story about what human beings are capable of when everything is stripped away.

On Canada Day 2019, Janelle Stanley's 2.5 year-old son Finley was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. His platelet count was 9. He could have bled out internally without a single warning sign.

Within hours, Janelle was on a Learjet to BC Children's Hospital — no wallet, no change of clothes, no plan. Just her son, and the terrifying unknown.

What she didn't know yet was that the place waiting for them — Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon — was a place she had helped design.

In this episode of August After Dark, Janelle shares the raw, real, and deeply moving story of what it means to let go of control, lean on community, and watch your child not just survive — but thrive.

Today, Finley is in remission, approaching five years cancer free. He describes his time during treatment as the best time of his life.

This conversation is for every parent who has ever felt helpless. Every family who has sat in a waiting room not knowing what comes next. And everyone who wants to understand what Ronald McDonald House truly means to the families inside its walls.
