This week we are talking about a rare condition, FOXG1.  This  syndrome is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a mutation in the FOXG1 gene. FOXG1 gene is one of the first and most important genes for early brain development and when impaired, causes cognitive and physical disabilities as well as medical complexities including epilepsy. Every child born with FOXG1 syndrome is unique as FOXG1 manifests as a spectrum where symptoms and severity vary between individuals. Our patient data shows characteristics of children with FOXG1 syndrome include: nonverbal, non-ambulatory, experience seizures, feeding problems, cortical vision impairment, movement disorders, and developmental delays. Less-severely-affected FOXG1 children often present with (ASD) Autism Spectrum Disorder as FOXG1 is an autism related gene. FOXG1 syndrome is found equally among both females and males and is geographically more prevalent where diagnostic testing is more advanced. (credits: The FoxG1 Foundation) Our guest is a mother to a child with FoxG1, Ilissa Reich.  Ilissa is a former fashion executive who transformed her career into being a fierce advocate for families of children with special needs. When her now-3-year-old son, Eli, was diagnosed with FOXG1 Syndrome, a rare brain disorder with no cure, she spun into action and co-founded Believe in a Cure (webelieveinacure.org), a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation working to develop a treatment for FOXG1. Founded in 2019, Believe has raised millions of dollars and funded over 40 research and development projects around the world. long the way, the foundation has partnered with preeminent institutions ranging from the National Institutes of Health to Harvard, MIT, and Tel Aviv University, to biotechnology companies in Europe, Asia, and the United States. ​Renowned scientists from industry and academia serve on the scientific advisory board of the foundation, and several notable leaders serve on the foundation's lay advisory council, including former U.S. senators Joe Lieberman and Paul Kirk, the former CEO of Staples Ron Sargent, mediation czar Ken Feinberg, and many more. This journey has opened Ilissa's eyes to the experiences of countless other families who struggle each day, and despite her own anguish, Ilissa endeavored to create a platform for mothers of kids with special needs to build community and offer support. ​She has appeared on the Today show, in People magazine, and a host of other outlets profiling her efforts. A native Long Islander, Ilissa previously worked in fashion at notable brands Tibi, Free People, Splendid, and Alternative Apparel. She studied business in college at The George Washington University. She lives in Port Washington with her husband, Scott, and their three children. ​ When asked: 'What has enabled you to be successful?' she responded- “I always aspire to be a good role model for my children. I want to be someone they're proud of.”

You guys loved the first episode with these two and asked for more! Well, you've got it. On a brand-new episode of It Sure is a Beautiful Day we catch up with Catt's partner Greg Alterman shortly after their one-year anniversary.    Catt gets to the bottom of some of your remaining burning questions – How did Greg become this fabulous cook? What does he do for a living? He's had notable success, but what about his most painful business failure? There sure is a lot we can learn from a guy who was on the Inc 500 list as a young entrepreneur. We hear a bit about his life as the founder of Alternative Apparel and the relaunch of his juice business, Juice Served Here.    THEN, things get super yummy as Greg puts Catt on the hot seat and interviews HER. The Catt v Cathy dichotomy, who does she like better? Why does she want to fuck Jack Black? What is her least favorite character trait? What makes her most anxious? Why does she refuse to share ice cream with Greg?

MEET MICHAEL ARDELEAN:Michael Ardelean has always worked at the intersection of art and money. Having grown up bored and broke in suburban Detroit, Michael knew how to get a lot out of a little—streamlining processes and shaking off the baggage of life is his guiding philosophy. His first career, as a pro BMX biker, inspired him to share this outlook and his strategies with others struggling to design a comfortable life around their passion. He moved into merchandising, with a VP role at Alternative Apparel, followed by several years managing a design studio. Michael then began helping creative freelancers with the business end of their work as a consultant. Today, he runs his own recruiting firm, Intro, with the goal of improving organizations (like Madhappy and Buck Mason) by empowering individuals. His passion is advocating for artists of all kinds by helping them make their unique talents financially viable. Michael’s new book, Art For Money, shows creative freelancers what can happen when you cut out what’s not serving you, focus on what you can improve, and dream big.  CONTACT:https://amzn.to/3cR5UA0 (Art For Money) https://www.introlimited.com/ (https://www.introlimited.com/) https://www.instagram.com/easyontheextras/ (https://www.instagram.com/easyontheextras/) SUPPORT THE SHOW BECAUSE I LOVE PUPPIES!1)https://meetfox.com/en/ (MEETFOX) Monetize your time with an easy-to-use online platform.
