What does it look like to take a neuroscience degree far beyond the lab? In this episode, we explore a career path that crosses scientific research, government regulation, and biotech entrepreneurship with Dr. Amanda Wiggins, CEO of The cGP Lab. Amanda began her career investigating neurodegeneration and cortical spreading depression. Over time, her passion for real-world impact led her into public policy—where she helped shape New Zealand's Human Tissue Act and advised on regulations for stem cell research and genetic technologies. Today, she leads a company advancing neuroprotective health supplements based on cyclic Glycine-Proline (cGP), a molecule with growing potential in aging and cognitive health. We talk about: How to navigate transitions between academia, government, and business The challenges of working across disciplines—and how to build confidence in new spaces Lessons learned from leading regulatory change and scaling innovation Amanda's work at The cGP Lab and the science behind cGP's potential in brain health Advice for scientists who want to move into leadership, entrepreneurship, or public engagement This conversation is for anyone considering a non-linear career in neuroscience or wondering how to apply scientific training in new and meaningful ways.

Building a firm doesn't always follow a straight line—and sometimes that's the advantage. In this episode of The FutureProof Advisor, I sit down with Garrett Cottle, co-founder of Momentum Wealth Management, to talk about how adaptability, personal authenticity, and strategic thinking can shape a successful practice. From a start in music to a pivot into banking and eventually into financial advising, Garrett's journey reflects what many advisors experience: figuring it out as you go, but doing so with intention. We explore how smaller firms can punch above their weight by staying nimble, leaning into their strengths, and making smart, client-focused decisions.Garrett shares how his team prioritizes relationship-building at every step—delivering personalized, memorable experiences that go far beyond performance reports or annual reviews. Whether it's a welcome gift or proactive milestone check-ins, these human touches create the kind of loyalty and word-of-mouth growth that marketing dollars can't buy. We also dig into how firms like his are using tech not just to “keep up,” but to lead—leveraging AI and customized CRMs to stay responsive, efficient, and scalable without adding complexity or headcount.What stood out most in our conversation is Garrett's mindset: stay curious, be intentional, and never stop evolving. He's not chasing scale for scale's sake—he's building a firm that reflects his values and serves clients in meaningful ways. As the industry changes, it's that kind of clarity and adaptability that will set advisors apart. It's not always about size or credentials—it's about purpose, discipline, and the willingness to think a little differently.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. Many nonprofits today are worried about recent federal actions that may bring governmental scrutiny to their stated charitable mission and activities, such as audits, congressional investigations, and even threats to their status as charities described in Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The best advice for many of those organizations is to start with a thorough review of their compliance with all federal tax laws, with the assistance of legal counsel. For many organizations, there simply isn't room in their budget to engage a specialist lawyer with expertise in these areas, so they look to friends and family for a lawyer willing to assist pro bono. This episode is for those wonderful lawyers who are willing to lend a hand but need to come up to speed quickly on the traps for the unwary in this field. This refreshed episode first dropped in October of 2022. Listeners who want more information along these lines can take a look at the show notes for links to other episodes of the show that take a closer look at these traps.

In today's episode of The Daily Windup, we have our guest who shares valuable insights for small businesses looking to secure government contracts. We talk about the importance of understanding the target company and its procurement needs. Advising small businesses to research the company's upcoming bids and analyze the scope of work in previous or draft requests for proposals (RFPs). By identifying areas where your company excels and can offer better value, small businesses can approach the larger company and propose a partnership. We also provide you resources for conducting research, such as the Federal Procurement Data System (fpds.gov), where small businesses can look up contracts won by a company. Additionally, you can explore the General Services Administration (GSA) schedules and search for labor categories or products that align with your own offerings. By conducting thorough research beyond the surface-level information on a company's website, small businesses can identify potential opportunities and increase their chances of partnering with larger companies for government contracts.

LawDroid Founder Tom Martin on Building, Teaching and Advising About AI for Legal If you follow legal tech at all, you would be justified in suspecting that Tom Martin has figured out how to use artificial intelligence to clone himself.  While running LawDroid, his legal tech company, the Vancouver-based Martin also still manages a law practice in California, oversees an annual legal tech awards program, teaches a law school course on generative AI, runs an annual AI conference, hosts a podcast, and recently launched a legal tech consultancy. In January 2023, less than two months after ChatGPT first launched, Martin's company was one of the first to launch a gen AI assistant specifically for lawyers, called LawDroid Copilot. He has since also launched LawDroid Builder, a no-code platform for creating custom AI agents.  Beyond his work at LawDroid, Martin is an adjunct professor at Suffolk Law School, teaching "Generative AI and the Delivery of Legal Services," and is a co-founder of the American Legal Technology Awards, which will be holding its sixth annual ceremony this October in Boston.

Assistant Dean for University Advising Ebony Green and Vice President for Strategic Initiatives Bill Beekman discuss the evolution of the Student Success Pillar of the MSU 2030 Strategic Plan. Objective 1 of the theme is to strengthen MSU's ability to attract and meet the needs, goals and aspirations of dynamic undergraduate students from all backgrounds. And a strategy is to ensure all students have high-quality academic and career advising that grows with them from admission through graduation  Conversation Highlights: (0:42) – How is MSU 2030 evolving? “Refresh, Reframe, and Reimagine” (5:08) – What is the role of an advisor at MSU? What do we ask them to do? (6:53) - Advising lives in all our colleges, but your work is somewhat unique. You lead MSU's advising team that supports students who haven't selected a specific major.  Tell us a little about that role. (14:58) - Many students – and perhaps sometimes their parents as well – believe that a student should have a major firmly in mind when they enter college.  But an alternative perspective is that college should be a place that encourages exploration and changing majors is not only okay but somewhat expected.  What's your perspective? (17:25) - Reflecting on my undergraduate days all too long ago, I've always felt that much of my learning took place outside the formal classroom setting.  Sometimes it was simply conversations with classmates while at dinner in the residence hall.  Other times it was through more structured activities, in my case an internship.  We now call that experiential learning.  President Guskiewicz has shared that he believes experiential learning is very important for our students.  What role do you think this kind of learning should play in the education of MSU students? (22:03) - When we think about undergraduate students, we usually have in mind students who have come to us straight out of high school.  But we also welcome transfer students at MSU.  And because they're coming to us from a different university, their advising is uniquely important.  How does your advising team facilitate the important transition to MSU for our transfer students? And I understand that we have unique agreements with many of the community colleges across Michigan that make it easier, or at least more straightforward, for students wanting to complete their undergraduate education at MSU?  (Articulation Agreements; LCC – Envision Green) (28:38) – What pieces of advice would you give students and parents on relating to and taking advantage of MSU advisors? (31:06) - Ebony, we always end these conversations on a fun note.  You work with undergraduate students every day.  But I'd like you to think back on your own college career.  Do you have a favorite memory from that time? Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.
