• Steve Jobs
    Apr 20 2026

    Some called this man a master marketer, some deemed him a visionary with the demeanor of a charismatic cult leader, who was lightyears ahead of his time. Detractors say he was demanding and could even be downright despicable at times. A few foes have even called him a phony. Whatever you may think of this risk taker, one thing’s for certain, he changed the way we’d communicate forever. He left behind a legacy and the wise words: stay hungry, stay foolish! We’ll decipher Steve Jobs on this week’s episode of FYI!

  • Hospitals
    Apr 10 2026

    Infirmaries can be interesting and intimidating institutions, but one thing is for certain, the industry is indispensable. We go there to get nursed back to health if we get ill or injured, or go under the knife if need be. In an emergency we can even be rushed there in an ambulance. While many come out with a clean bill of health, some patients never leave these paramedical places. Paging Dr. Alonso. Please report to ER ASAP. We’ll make sense of hospitals on this week’s episode of FYI!
