TranscriptCorey: This episode is sponsored in part byLaunchDarkly. Take a look at what it takes to get your code into production. I'm going to just guess that it's awful because it's always awful. No one loves their deployment process. What if launching new features didn't require you to do a full-on code and possibly infrastructure deploy? What if you could test on a small subset of users and then roll it back immediately if results aren't what you expect? LaunchDarkly does exactly this. To learn more, visitlaunchdarkly.com and tell them Corey sent you, and watch for the wince.Jesse: Hello, and welcome to AWS Morning Brief: Fridays From the Field. I'm Jesse DeRose.Amy: I'm Amy Negrette.Tim: And I'm Tim Banks.Jesse: This is the podcast within a podcast where we talk about all the ways we've seen AWS used and abused in the wild with a healthy dose of complaining about AWS for good measure. Today, we're going to be talking about a recent addition to the AWS family: AWS Application Cost Profiler.Tim: But hold on for a second, Jesse, because AWS Application Cost Profiler we can get to; that's rather unremarkable. I really want to talk about how impressed I am with AWS InfiniDash. I've been benchmarking this thing, and it is fan… tastic. It's so good. And we could probably talk about for a while, but suffice to say that I am far more impressed with AWS InfiniDash than I am with AWS Application Cost Profiler.Jesse: You know, that's fair. And I feel like InfiniDash should absolutely get credit where credit is due. I want to make sure that everybody can really understand the full breadth of everything that InfiniDash is able to accomplish. So, I want to make sure that we do get to that; maybe in a future episode, we can touch on that one. But for right now, I have lots of feelings about AWS Application Cost Profiler, and what better place to share those feelings than with two of my favorite people, Amy and Tim, and then all of you listeners who are listening in to this podcast. I can't wait to dive into this. But I think we should probably start with, what is AWS Application Cost Profiler?Amy: It is [unintelligible 00:01:54] in a trench coat.Jesse: [laugh].Amy: Which is the way AWS likes to solve problems sometimes. And in this case, it's talking about separating billing costs by tenants by service, which is certainly a lot of things that people have problems with.Jesse: That is a lot of buzzwords.Amy: A lot of words there.Jesse: Yeah. Looking at the documentation, the sales page, “AWS Application Cost Profiler is a managed service that helps us separate your AWS billing and costs by the tenants of your service.” That has a lot of buzzwords.Tim: Well, to be fair, that's also a majority of the documentation about service.Jesse: Yeah, that is fair. That is a lot of what we saw, and I think we'll dive into that with documentation in a minute. But I do want to call out before we dive into our thoughts on this service—because we did kick the tires on this service and we want to share what our experience was like, but I do want to call out that this problem that AWS Application Cost Profiler is trying to solve. This idea of cost allocation of shared resources, it is a real, valid problem and it is one that is difficult to solve.Amy: And we've had clients that have had this very explicit problem and our findings have been that it's very difficult to accurately splice usage and spend against what's essentially consumption-based metrics—which is how much a user or request is using all the way along your pipeline—if they're not using dedicated resources.Jesse: Yeah, when we talk about cost allocation, generally speaking, we talk about cost allocation from the perspective of tagging resources, broadly speaking, and moving resources into linked accounts and separating spend by linked accounts, or allocating spend by linked accounts. But if you've got a shared compute cluster, a shared database, any kind of shared resources where multiple tenants are using that infrastructure, slapping one tag on it isn't going to solve the issue. Even putting all of those shared resources in a single linked account isn't going to solve that issue. So, the problem of cost allocation for shared resource is real; it is a valid problem. So, let's talk specifically about AWS Application Cost Profiler as a solution for this problem. As I mentioned, we kicked the tires on this solution earlier this week and we have some thoughts to share.Tim: I think one of the main things around this AWS Application Profiler like I said, there's some problems that can be solved there, there's some insights that people really want to gain here, but the problem is people don't want to do a lot more work or rewrite their observability stack to do it. The problem is, that's exactly what AWS Cost Profiler seems to be doing or seems to want you to do. It doesn't get data from, I think it only gets data from certain EC2 services, and it's just, it's doing things that you can already do in other tools to do aggregation. And if I'm going to do all the work to rewrite that stack, to be able to use the Profiler, am I going to want to spend that time doing something else? I mean, that kind of comes to the bottom line about it.Jesse: Yeah, the biggest thing that I ran into, or that I experienced when we were setting up the Cost Profiler, is that documentation basically said, “Okay, configure Cost Profiler and then submit your data.” And [unintelligible 00:05:54] stop, like wait, what? Wait, what do you mean, ‘submit data?' And it said, “Okay, well now that you've got Cost Profiler as a service running, you need to upload all of the data that Cost Profiler is going to profile for you.” It boggles my mind.Tim: And it has to be in this format, and it has to have these specific fields. And so if you're not already emitting data in that format with those fields, now you have to go back and do that. And it's not really solving any problems, but it offers to create more problems.Amy: And also, if you're going to have to go through the work of instrumenting and managing all that data anyway, you could send it anywhere you wanted to. You could send it to your own database to your own visualization. You don't need Profiler after that.Jesse: Yeah, I think that's a really good point, Amy. AWS Cost Profiler assumes that you already have this data somewhere. And if not, it explicitly says—in its documentation it says, to generate reports you need to submit tenant usage data of your software applications that use shared AWS resources. So, it explicitly expects you to already have this data. And if you are going to be looking for a solution that is going to help you allocate the cost of shared resources and you already have this data somewhere else, there are better solutions out there than AWS Application Cost Profiler. As Amy said, you can send that data anywhere. AWS Application Cost Profiler probably isn't going to be the first place that you think of because it probably doesn't have as many features as other solutions.Amy: If you were going to instrument things to that level, and let's say you were using third-party services, you could normalize your own data and build out your own solution, or you can send it to a better data and analytics service. There are more mature solutions out there that require you to do less work.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by ChaosSearch. You could run Elastic Search or Elastic Cloud or Open Search, as they're calling it now, or a self hosted out stack. But why? ChaosSearch gives you the same API you've come to know and tolerate, along with unlimited data retention and no data movement. Just throw your data into S3 and proceed from there as you would expect. This is great for IT operations folks, for App performance monitoring, cyber security. If you're using ElasticSearch consider not running ElasticSearch. They're also available now on the AWS market place, if you prefer not to go direct and have half of whatever you pay them count toward your EDP commitment. Discover what companies like, Klarna, Equifax, Armor Security and Blackboard already have. To learn more visit chaossearch.io and tell them I sent you just so you can see them facepalm yet again.Jesse: I feel like I'd missed something, broadly speaking. I get that this is a preview, I get that this is a step on the road for this solution, and I'm hoping that ultimately AWS Application Cost Profiler can automatically pull data from resources. And also, not just from EC2 compute resources, but from other shared services as well. I would love this service to be able to automatically dynamically pull this data from multiple AWS services that I already use. But this just feels like a very minimal first step to me.Tim: And let's be honest; AWS has a history of putting out services before they're ready for primetime, even if they're GA—Jesse: Yeah.Tim: —but this seems so un-useful that I'm not sure how it made it past the six-pager or the press release. It's disappointing for a GA service from AWS.Amy: What would you both like to see, other than it just being… more natively picked up by other services?Tim: I would like to see either a UI for creating the data tables that you're going to need, or a plugin that you can automatically put with those EC2 resources: an agent you can run, or a sidecar, or a collector that you just enable to gather that data automatically. Because right now, it's not really useful at all. What it's doing is basically the same thing you can do in an Excel spreadsheet. And that's being very, very honest.Jesse: Yeah, I think that's a really good point that ultimately, a lot of this data is not streamlined and that's ultimately the thing that is the most frustrating for me right now. It is asking a lot of the customer in terms of engineering time, in terms of design work, in terms of implementation details, and I would love AWS to iterate on this service by providing that dynamically, making it easier to onboard and use this service.Amy: Personally, what I would like is some either use case, or demonstration, or tutorial that shows how to track consumption costs using non-compute resources like Kinesis especially, because you're shoving a lot of things in there and you just need to be able to track these things and have that show up in some sort of visualization that's like Cost Explorer. Or even have that wired directly to Cost Explorer so that you can, from Cost Explorer, drill down to a request and be able to see what it is actually doing, and what it's actually costing. I want a lot of things.Jesse: [laugh]. But honestly, I think that's why we're here, you know? I want to make these services better. I want people to use the services. I want people to be able to allocate costs of shared resources. But it is still a hard problem to solve, and no one solution has quite solved it cleanly and easily yet.You know what? Amy, to get back to your question, that's ultimately what I would love to see, not just specifically with an AWS Application Cost Profiler necessarily, but I would love to see better native tools in AWS to help break out the cost of shared resources, to help break out and measure how tenants are using shared resources in AWS, natively. More so than this solution.Amy: I would love that. It would make so many things so much easier.Jesse: Mm-hm. I'm definitely going to be adding that to my AWS wishlist for a future episode.Tim: How many terabytes is your AWS wishlist right now?Jesse: Oh… it is long. I, unfortunately, have made so many additions to my AWS wishlist that are qualitative things—more so than quantitative things—that just aren't going to happen.Amy: You become that kid at Christmas that, they get onto Santa's lap in the mall, and it's a roller page that just hops off the platform, and just goes down the wall, and all the other kids are staring at you and ready to punch you in the face when you get off. [laugh].Jesse: [laugh]. All right, well that'll do it for us this week, folks.

For Episode 289, I venture into the world of virtual assistants with Amy Ransdell, CMO of REVA Global. More and more Realtors are harnessing the power of virtual assistants. As Amy points out, 90% of agent work involves the phone or the computer. A large portion of these tasks can be handled by a VA. Amy has worn many hats through her career - Agent, short sales, investing, coaching, training, broker, the list goes on. As a single Mom, Amy points out she does not believe balance is possible, rather each person finds their solution to managing their work/life situation. TIMELINE: 02:00 - I know you are based in Atlanta. Are you a Georgia native? What's the biggest misconception about Georgia and Georgians? 04:20 - If I'm in Atlanta for 2 days, what must I see or do? 05:45 - You are a very proud UGA alum. I've only been in Florida for a few years, but SEC culture is already a part of who I am. Can I assume you've attended the world's largest cocktail party when UGA and UF square off in Jacksonville? 10:10 - What was your gateway to real estate? 11:20 - You've worn many hats in the industry over the years. Agent, short sales, investing, coaching, training, broker, the list goes on. They all tie together at some point, but is their a favorite piece of the pie for you? 12:50 - Work/Life balance just does not exist according to some. What are your thoughts on this topic as a businesswoman and a mom raising a family? 14:30 - In 2018 you joined REVA GLOBAL as CMO. Can you share what the company does and the pain point REVA GLOBAL solves for Realtors? 21:30 - Can you share an agent success story involving a VA? 29:30 - What one piece of advice would you give a new agent just starting in the business?

Through her business—Zymology Labs, based in Essex Junction, Vermont—Amy offers analytical testing, training, and consulting for the fermented beverage industry. And she's working to expand the conversation on beer quality in both producer and consumer circles. Although Amy spends much of her time in her own lab space, she's no stranger to brewery environments. She was a keen homebrewer in college, and the “What's Brewing?” and food science courses she took during her chemistry degree led to her lightbulb moment: that she wanted to pursue a career in beer quality. After a course and apprenticeship with the American Brewers Guild, she got her start in the cellar at Burlington, Vermont's Magic Hat Brewing Company before ultimately running their lab. It was there she started wondering what smaller breweries did without the same access to equipment that she had, and the idea for Zymology Labs was born. Despite the name of her business, Amy is quick to remind us that quality isn't just about the lab. She actually prefers the term “quality program,” as it indicates that there are many processes breweries can have in place to help monitor their product without requiring their own lab setup. Passionate about demystifying what a quality program entails and how to set one up, Amy talks us through some of the basic steps any brewery can take to get started. We also discuss the difference between a quality program and a sensory program, and how they complement each other. We then turn our attention to some of the quality issues that have hit industry headlines of late, ranging from ABV mislabeling to exploding cans. Amy helps to shed some light on what causes these issues, how they can be prevented, and how prevalent they actually are. You'll hear Amy stress that quality isn't just about preventing things from going wrong. It's about making sure as many elements of the brewing process as possible go right, so brewers can provide a consistent product for their customers. And if quality's not a priority for your brewery? As Amy says, there are thousands of other breweries out there for consumers to choose from.
By far, one of the most important conversations that we can possibly have inside of conservation visual storytelling is that of racism and diversity inside of the conservation movement, and inside of visual storytelling.This conversation has never been more necessary than today. Because when it comes to primarily White-led movements like conservation and White-led fields like visual storytelling, it means that there's a very limited perspective that most people see. A very limited lens through which conservation stories are told. And it means a lot of voices are left out.Amy Marquis is willing to get into the trenches with us on this topic. Amy is a filmmaker who started out her career as a photo editor for conservation publications, and she's moved into filmmaking as she realized how much this medium really resonated with her as a storyteller.But as she dove into more and more film-making projects, especially those that hit close to home, she realized that there's a whole lot for her to unpack about how racism, colonialism and diversity affects her as a person, as a mother and as a storyteller.As Amy has explored these topics within the films she's creating, she's uncovered some deeply surprising things about her family and her past, which are dramatically shifting how she shapes her own future.Listening to Amy's journey offers all of us insight into:how we as individual people can experience our own journeyhow we can ask better questionshow we can recognize our limitationsand how we can move forward with responsibility and truthfulnessGet the full show notes + links at JaymiH.com/80Never miss an episode by signing up at JaymiH.com/ImpactAre you subscribed to the podcast?

Learn what the two key ingredients are for succession and continuity to happen in your family. As Amy quoted, "Your position does not define who you are." In their next episode, Francesco and Amy will discuss why the current model of traditional governance is failing to serve families. We will talk about why Organized Emotional Governance reduces friction in Family Business and ensures legacy.
Colin Levy knew his strengths as an undergrad at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. He was only torn as to which interest he should pursue for his degree. He chose public policy with a concentration in economics over an English major. During his time at Trinity College, he determined he would follow his BA with a law degree, but not immediately. He took a year off and worked for a large New York law firm as a paralegal. There he received some first-hand legal experience and was introduced to technology as it applied to the law profession. When that year was over, he entered Boston College Law School. As law school began, he already knew he had no interest in being a litigator. His focus became transactions and contract law, and he aspired to work as an in-house counsel some time in his future. At the conclusion of his law studies, he had no job lined up, so he spent the following year exploring opportunities. Eventually he took a position at Update Legal, a startup, in Boston. There he did contract review and financial audits while he advanced in his knowledge of legal technology especially. He began to recognize a new interest in how computers could facilitate the work of legal professionals. He created a contract management and review tool in the year he was employed there. He moved on to a few brief stints as a compliance and contract attorney while he engaged his curiosity in the technology tools that were currently used in the field. The short duration positions he took moved Colin along from contracts administrator to contract counsel. In 2014 and 2015, he went to work with the Velcro Group. As a contract counsel there, he was able to improve contractual systems and revise existing templates. He maintained contractual records and assisted with corporate restructuring matters. He often worked across departments, and he provided training to other employees. He frequently did research as well. All in all, Colin experienced a broad spectrum of work that continued to refine his special interests, especially those involving applied technology. After a year off for some health issues, Colin returned to law and signed on at C&W Services as a temporary contract counsel during the summer of 2016. After this short term situation ended, he became the Manager of Contract Negotiations at Pearson Education where he was the sole in-house counsel. He found this to be a period of great growth experience where he gained many transferable skills to carry him into the future. In the summer of 2018, Colin moved on to be corporate counsel for Salary.com. For the next 2 years he was the strategic advisor to both the CEO and CFO concerning cyber security. During this time, he expanded his own brand which he had been working on for some years. He was becoming the “go to” person in the world of tech advice for legal professionals. In May of 2020, Colin spent some time as legal counsel for Lookout, a cyber security company. While there, he learned even more about security technology and enjoyed a supportive team. It was at this juncture that he really expanded his own brand. And what is that? Colin explains to Amy about his blog, his tweets and his all-important LinkedIn posts. As Amy notes, he's developed quite a following as he educates and inspires about legal technology. He has become an authority as he posts every day on a variety of legal tech topics. His interactive posts afford a great networking opportunity for all who engage with him on topics surrounding technology for legal professionals. Colin defines the subject of legal technology as a set of tools that allows attorneys to perform their work more effectively and efficiently. It encompasses a growing movement to push the legal industry into the 21st century. This past February, Colin became the Director of Marketing and Business Development at WordRake. This represented a big pivot for him as he is no longer an in-house counsel. Instead, he now spends his days immersed in the legal technology which has become his passion. He has managed to merge his personal brand with his professional work. At WordRake, they provide a product that is an add-on for Microsoft Word. It's an automated document editor, as you will hear Colin explain further. They help legal professionals produce documents with clarity and without complicated legal jargon. With his love of both technology and writing, Colin has found his niche. He shares with Amy and her listeners some of the lessons he's found valuable in his career journey. Perhaps he has some advice that will help you enhance your personal brand. Links: LinkedIn- linkedin.com/in/colinslevy Website- colinslevy.com/ Takeaways: If you are overwhelmed with the growing amount of law technology, know you are not alone. Take on only the specific area you are involved with rather than trying to absorb all of the law tech that's out there Learn about all the branding tools that will help you. LinkedIn is underutilized and a great place to learn and build your brand Always be consistent when you blog, tweet and post Respond and comment on other people's posts Deliberate relationship building on LinkedIn and other professional sites is the new way to network.

This week I am talking to Tracie austin about her book 'I Survived Beyond and Back: True Accounts of Near-Death Experiences From Those Who Have Glimpsed the Afterlife'. I Survived Beyond and Back takes you on a journey of firsthand Near-Death Experiences as reported by those who experienced them. Time and time again, people have asked these questions with curiosity - What really happens when we die? What lies on the other side? Is death the end? To the experiencer, near-death experiences are profoundly meaningful but are frequently met with skepticism. "At that moment, Tommy remembered thinking to himself, Wow. I just died." "As Amy continued floating upwards, it became clear to her that she was now entering some dark tunnel and noticed a brilliant bright white light at the end of it. The intensity of the light cast beams on each side of it, and Amy estimated the length of the tunnel to be approximately a quarter of a mile long." "Miguel's attention was suddenly drawn upwards to where he could see the presence of an angel hovering above with its wings outstretched and in full flight!" Journey with us as we explore Glimpses of the Afterlife; The Science of Dying; NDEs vs. OBEs; The Physician Who Tried to Weigh the Soul; and my radio interview with Dr. Laurin Bellg, M.D., who talks about her role as a board-certified critical care physician and ICU director for two busy intensive care units whose patients confided with her about their personal near-death experiences while in the ICU. Read about near-death experiences of the Hollywood Celebrities! BIO Having completed various studies at Cauldon College of Further Ed. in 1984, Tracie re-located to London a year later to study at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama as a concert pianist, and to teach her instrument in a number of schools. Her interest in UFOs first began there, when she witnessed a UFO, an event that would later change her life! In 1989, Tracie moved back to her hometown of Staffordshire to teach her instrument to numerous students, and became Project Manager of a popular music tuition agency. Her second daylight sighting of an unknown flying object occurred in May of 1996. A profound sighting of a black, boomerang object that changed shape was observed by other witnesses, and made a second appearance later that day over her house! The Television channel “BBC Digital” became aware of her sighting, and during the making of their TV documentary “Over the Moon”, Tracie told her story and re-enacted her sighting. It was in June of 1996, that she hosted her first UFO conference, which became a major success. Radio appearances followed, as well as articles in local newspapers and invitations to speak on the subject at various organizations. A second conference followed in 1998.Research into the UFO phenomena has been an on-going process since her first sighting in 1987, and she has investigated some highly strange UFO activity. Personal sightings of UFOs continue to date. Tracie was invited as MC, and a guest speaker at the 2005 annual MUFON symposium in Denver.She was also Mistress of Ceremonies and speaker at the first women's UFO Symposium in Glen Rose, Texas 2012. She is author of Welcome to Haunted Las Vegas, Nevada, which details true ghost accounts in the Silver State as researched and documented by LVSSI – Las Vegas Society of Supernatural Investigations. Her second book – Alien Encounters in the Western United States was also published by Schiffer and details nine true alien abduction accounts, which features photographs of suspected alien implants that were surgically removed by Dr. Roger Leir, as well as wonderful artwork depicting various alien beings that have been encountered. Her latest book - I Survived Beyond and Back details true accounts of Near-Death experiences as reported by those who have glimpsed the afterlife. Tracie was the Executive Producer and Host of her own cable TV talk show originally produced in Ca...
Amy Over is the host of Confronting: Columbine and was a senior at Columbine High School in 1999. On April 20, 1999, Amy was eating lunch in the cafeteria with friends when her school was violently attacked by two fellow students. She hid under a table fearing the worst when her basketball coach indicated that the kids in the cafeteria needed to run. As Amy ran toward the exit, the killers shot into the crowd of students Amy was in. Amy narrowly escaped with her life. She remembers fleeing past slain bodies of her classmates. Amy ran a half mile to a stranger’s home and took shelter there to catch her breath and call her mother. She has been dealing with the trauma of that day ever since.Part of her healing has been helping other survivors of mass trauma as the Director of Fundraising and Project Journey Coordinator for The Rebels Project since 2015. Amy has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and has completed level one trauma assistance training through Colorado Victims Assistance academy. Amy is a regular at kickboxing. She currently lives in Parker, Colorado with her husband of 18 years, her two beautiful children and her adored niece and nephew.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Did you know that your body language speaks just as loudly, sometimes even louder, than the words we speak?! Body language not only affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. When Sherry learned how one simple power pose can boost her confidence and impact how she shows up on interviews, dates and other social interactions, she quickly added it to her box of "confidence resources". In today’s episode, we share Amy Cuddy’s TEDx Talk on how introverts, or shy or timid people can make tiny tweaks in their body language to appear more powerful and confident. Who doesn't want that?! As Amy shares, body language can determine who we hire, promote, ask out on a date. And interestingly, body language not only affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Listen as my explains how making tiny tweaks to your body language can shape your mind, and ultimately your results as you show up in social interactions more powerfully and confidently.

Phantom Power's Amy Skjerseth brings us the story of perhaps the most famous vocal performance artist and avant-garde musician whose actual work doesn’t get the attention it deserves: Yoko Ono. Collaborator with the Fluxus group in the early 60s, creator of performances such as Cut Piece and her Bed In with John Lennon in the late 1960s, director of experimental films such as 1970’s Fly, and recording artist of experimental pop albums such as that Fly’s soundtrack... Despite this large body of work, her most famous role was that of wife to that guy in that band—a performance that made her the target of misogynous and racist criticism that persists to this day. As Amy points out, much of this criticism centered on the sound of Yoko Ono’s voice. Of course, as we’ve explored on this show before, listening to the other with a racist or sexist ear is nothing new. But in Ono’s case, this prejudicial listening is compounded by the fact that, years before the emergence of punk rock, she was pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable vocal expression for anyone, let alone a woman—moaning, wailing, chortling, and screaming. The vast majority of listeners immediately dismissed these sounds as a punchline. On today’s show, we’re going to actually listen. What is the purpose and meaning and effect of Ono’s vocal artistry? We’re exploring it in her recorded work, in her feminist and pacifist political agenda, and most of all, in her film Fly, in which she uses her voice to destroy boundaries between sound and touch, human and animal, self and other. This episode includes elements from an audio essay Amy published at [in]Transition: Journal of Videographic Film & Moving Image Studies. Music by Yoko Ono, John Lennon, John Cage, Tanya Tagaq, and Graeme Gibson, as well as “Crickets, Birds, Summer Ambient” by Nikodemus Christian. You can hear most of the music again on this Phantom Power Spotify Playlist. Yoko Ono's film Fly is available on MUBI. The soundtrack has been reissued by Secretly Canadian. You can hear Yoko Ono's Twitter response to Trump (November 11, 2016) here.
We had a great time interviewing our friend and colleague Dr. Amy Johnson about the nature of thought and how it impacts our relationships. As Amy points out, we're all in relationship with our thinking about other people and our thinking about ourselves. We can't be in direct relationship with anyone without experiencing them through thought.Amy shares how seeing the role of thought in her life, helped her relax around some of the "problems" she imagined would eventually derail her relationship. Once she saw how she was making it up, she was able to be present and enjoy her husband just as he is. One of the reasons it's so powerful talking to Amy is her ability to seamlessly draw from her knowledge about biology and neuroscience. It's our biology to have preferences, and for the mind to work the way it does -- calculating and assessing -- but realizing there is an invisible force at play that is far more powerful than our brain, helps us to shift our identification from our intellect to the intelligent, formless energy behind life. We conclude the interview with a set of personal questions about Amy's own relationship, and we were really touched by her responses. Amy's work centers around helping people who struggle with habits and anxiety as she struggled with this herself for many years. We cannot recommend Amy's work enough, and we outline some of her offerings below in the show notes. This episode explores:We are a spiritual being having human experiencesOur brains find evidence for whatever we expectThis understanding is not about transcending the human experienceThe content of conditioning varies, but the same understanding can create a shift for anyoneWe have a greater perspective when the situation isn't about us -- sticky thinking is sticky because we've personalized it. Amy Johnson, Ph.D. is a psychologist, coach, author, and speaker who shares a groundbreaking new approach that helps people find true, lasting freedom from unwanted habits via insight rather than willpower. She is the author of Being Human (2013), and The Little Book of Big Change: The No-Willpower Approach to Breaking Any Habit (2016). In 2017 she opened The Little School of Big Change, an online school that has helped hundreds of people find freedom from anxiety and habits and live a more peaceful life.

Amy Nickerson joins me for this Conversation on Race to talk about how racism traumatizes Black families. Amy is an educational consultant who focuses on race and race relations. She is the author of the book, “HOW DO YOU SEE US?: Our Lived Realities of Being Viewed As a Threat. This book details and analyzes what she and her family have seen and experienced as it relates to issues of law enforcement. This is not Black vs. Blue. This isn’t about sides – the black side or the blue side. This is not an attack on the overall institution of law enforcement. Nor is this a scathing rebuke of every white law enforcement officer. As Amy states in her book, "This is about my perspective, my innermost feelings about how I am viewed as a Black person in America, why I feel vulnerable around police officers, and how it got this way." Amy Nickerson recounts numerous encounters with police officers as well as ordinary white citizens insistent on policing black people. Amy shares her experience with race and racism as a Black woman, mother of three children including Hardy Nickerson Jr. a linebacker in the NFL and as the wife of former NFL player and now a coach, Hardy Nickerson. Key topics: No matter who you are, or how much money you have, if you are Black in the US your position and money will not protect you from racism, discrimination and being targeted by law enforcement and white racists. Her first experience with racism in elementary school. White policing of Black people by white people. All too frequent experiences of the Nickerson family being accused of stealing the cars they drive, or not belonging in their own neighborhood. Why white people often resent Black people being successful, or living their own lives, and how they try to sabotage Black success. Justified fear that Black women have every time their children leave the house. Challenges of being Black on vacation, having to tell her son, he couldn’t wear the clothes he liked because it could be dangerous. How many white people view Black skin as a threat and justify racist actions. Solutions to white policing of Black people everyday.

As Amy thinks back to all of her past roles she always found a way to live her passion in her job. She always enjoyed blending passion with meaning even if she had bigger dreams early on in her career. It has always been about helping more people so fitness in her mind was a natural fit.The first change in Amy's young career was leaving the athletics side, as an athlete and Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach, and making the move to the fitness side as a trainer. She then worked at the Premier Health Club in San Diego where her second big break happened. Amy's Personal Training Manager at the time had received a promotion and tapped Amy to be the next Manager. This, after only one year as a trainer, led Amy to bigger aspirations in the industry. Having been familiar with IDEA Health and Fitness Association her entire life, attending many of their conferences and summits, she received an opportunity later on in life to good to pass up working as the Vice President of the Fitness Group at Pocket Outdoor Media which includes IDEA Health and Fitness Association, Oxygen Magazine, IDEA China and Korea. She is really passionate about IDEA and their initiatives. IDEA's members strive to provide resources and support to help you grow your career, be more successful and achieve that through many different platforms. With five publications including the award-winning IDEA Fitness Journal, as well as, digital publications, this is where Amy has made a home trying to impact many more fitness professionals. Ultimately it is about keeping fitness professionals in the industry longer.Given the current climate, Amy is most proud of helping to deliver on a plan that she has thought about for many years which is health insurance. For many people in the industry out of work, this plan is for fitness professionals, as well as, small business owners. You can sign up and/or terminate at any point throughout the year. Amy points to the fact that it is also long overdue for the fitness industry.What is to come for this fitness icon? IDEA WORLD Virtual Convention is the next big event hitting Aug. 21-22 and will be really unique this year. Obviously it will be virtual but what will be different is that it will be in real time using some unique technology platforms. Everything is LIVE! A person will have the ability to actually engage with presenters making it really unique in this virtual environment. With all of these different initiatives going on, it is no wonder what has been motivating Amy throughout her career. Helping people move fwd. in the fitness industry and changing lives will always be at the heart of her mission.

She also says: ‘Your Purpose or Why is the foundation of everything. By focusing on this and taking responsibility for everything you do in life, you are empowered to design anything you desire. Defining your purpose and then standing by your purpose will ensure that you meet your goals and stay on mission. As Amy states: every individual and business should focus on WHY.

Today’s guest is Amy Ragland, a freelance marketing writer and content strategist in Wichita, Kansas. She writes mostly for financial services clients. Amy and her husband have two daughters, ages 13 and 11. Amy began freelancing in 2002, before she was married. She began freelancing on the side when someone asked her to do a particular project. For a long time, it was only a side hustle and sporadic “play money.” After she had her children, she stayed home full-time with them for three years. Freelancing helped her keep her brain sharp, bring in a bit of extra income and feel like she was contributing financially to the household. Later, she began full-time freelancing to have a more flexible schedule as a parent. Freelancing allows her to structure her days so that she’s most focused and productive when her children are in school. She can also make more money in less time than when she was an employee. The flexibility also allows her to volunteer and get involved in her kids’ school activities and events throughout the day. Pre-pandemic, Amy took her kids to school and picked them up, which she felt was important. Another flexibility perk is the ability to help out her parents, in-laws and her grandmother, who live nearby, if they need help with something. Amy is someone who likes to have a plan and for that plan to work out. The “topsy-turvy” aspect of the pandemic has been frustrating. She is used to having quiet and being able to concentrate on writing, and that’s been difficult with her kids at home. Freelancing can also be lonely. Amy tries to protect her writing hours so that she can do her work done during work hours and focus on her kids after school. But that doesn’t leave much time for connecting or meeting up with other freelancers. She recommends being very strategic about reaching out to others so you aren’t isolating yourself and not getting into a rut of work-family, work-family. Freelancing as a parent changes as children get older. Now, Amy’s kids can stay home by themselves so that (pre-pandemic) Amy could meet up with someone for coffee or run an errand. As Amy’s children got older, it became easier to say, “Go away now, I need to work.” The kids respect that, and she doesn’t have to supervise them 24/7. During the pandemic, many freelancers accustomed to being home alone now have partners, children and/or roommates at home now. Not getting enough alone time has been difficult on Amy. Amy’s daily structure has changed during the pandemic. Her husband is considered an essential worker, working for an electrical contractor, so this spring Amy was trying to run her business while being thrust into full-time schoolteacher. Her “mom guilt” went into overdrive because she felt like she needed to work, but then she felt guilty that she was ignoring her kids. The pandemic is also difficult on kids, who have suddenly lost their daily routines and structure. Amy tries to remember to give everyone—herself included—grace. “Grace” is also tied in with letting go of our expectations. You may need to give yourself some grace and let go, or adjust, some of your personal and professional goals this year. Early in the pandemic, Amy talked with her children about what their new daily routine would look like. She doesn’t allow her kids to stay up late or sleep in. Instead, they aimed to stay on a fairly structured routine, which has helped them during the pandemic. She also began to delegate more household chores. Amy uses the Pomodoro technique. Pre-pandemic, she would work for about 1 ½ hours with a 30-minute break. But she has adjusted that to now work for about 40 minutes. She can tell her kids she has to work for 40 minutes and that they can talk to her after that. That helped lessen the interruptions and helped Amy stay in a writing flow. For self-care, Amy makes sure to find some alone time. She will go into a room and close the door and read a book, even for just 20 minutes. Amy also reminds herself that she got into freelancing for the flexibility and to be available to her family. She tries to be very conscious right now of how many freelance projects she takes on. She tends to say “yes” to everything in general, and right now it can feel “foolish” to turn away potential income. But she works to stay tuned in to her time limitations. Amy has adjusted her business during the pandemic also. She typically does quick-turnaround projects for clients, but right now she has asked her clients to give her a little more notice. Freelancers who might not have a lot of work right might want to take the opportunity to try something new they didn’t have time for before. Amy tries to look for the silver lining during the pandemic: What lessons can she learn right now? How can she improve her business and become a better person? One positive thing Amy has noticed: Her daughters have gotten along pretty well during the pandemic. She has watched them become buddies and take care of each other. She and her husband and daughters have also done more activities together as a family, like doing puzzles and taking walks. They bought a basketball goal for their driveway and have been playing HORSE nonstop. The biggest advice Amy can give freelancing parents is to be strategic with your time. That will get easier as your kids get older. Set yourself up for success. Structure your day to take advantage of the best time to work. When her kids were little, trying to plan to work during naptime often got derailed, which was frustrating. But Amy shifted her mindset to be more strategic with her time throughout the day, which made her feel more in control with her day.

I also brainstorm with Amy ideas for how to pitch her services to senior-level organizational decision-makers. If you are a coach, consultant, or business leader, pay particular attention to how I coach the coach. How do I ask questions? Mirror back what Amy is saying? Sculpt the messages Amy is trying to get out? Allow Amy to see her own breakthroughs and clarify her immediate next steps? When we begin, Amy says that she can’t clearly articulate her message. Although she has a lot of passion and different ideas, she also feels lost. And, because Amy hasn’t created an online platform, she’s unsure about how to increase her visibility and get known. As Amy and I dive deep into our coach the coach session, you’ll see Amy discover the “big idea” for her speaking and thought leadership. We start to map out her content, and we discuss how to use a high-touch approach to growing her audience.

title : How to feel beautiful in your skin Today I have my incredible, magnetic, powerful client and sister Amy on. Oh my gosh our energy is going to blow your mind. It's just incredible to feel how high my women in the Love program rise to. This is the perfect episode to listen to if you're dragging ass and you need some motivation. On a basic level when Amy came to me a year ago she had such bad anxiety she literally would feel like she was going to die during anxiety attacks. Amy had gnarly ups and downs, punished herself with food and exercise, hated her body, felt unworthy, and was constantly giving away energy in order to get approval from other's. Amy felt embarrassed that nothing had worked for her in the past and she felt totally inadequate and jealous when another woman had what she wanted. And just look at her now baby. 29 years young, killing it at life, having fun, and knowing deeply that she is the beautiful and powered by the Universe. Amy's deadly anxiety attacks are gone, and for the first time in her life she feels safe in her body. She loves her beautiful body. And because everything is energy she's made more money this month than ever before. It's absolutely mind blowing how simple the steps you must take are to love yourself. I'm not going to say it's over night fame. You must show up daily. While we are breathing there is work to be done. As Amy said the work is so much more beautiful and rewarding than the horrifying ups and down, the self hatred and misery she lived in before. If you're ready to make a change you must come to my free online workshop.
Just in time for Mother’s Day and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Dan interviews health journalist and author Amy Klein about her new book THE TRYING GAME: Get Through Fertility Treatment and Get Pregnant Without Losing Your Mind. Amy Klein wrote the “Fertility Diary” column for The New York Times’s Motherlode blog for three years. Her former NYTimes editor KJ Dell’Antonia recently wrote, “Amy Klein’s writing on fertility is candid, warm, and honest. She pulls no punches, and the result isn’t just informative—it’s empowering. If you’re struggling to create the family you imagined, Amy’s is the voice you want in your head, and your heart.” Today, Amy writes frequently about health and fertility for publications such as Newsweek, Slate, The Washington Post, and other national media. When Amy Klein wrote THE TRYING GAME, she never dreamed it would be published during a pandemic. Now more than ever, Amy’s personal story as well as her advice about struggling with infertility and the challenges of treatment will hopefully change the conversation about infertility in 2020 and move it forward. Today’s episode opens with Amy sharing how she finally became a mother after nine rounds of IVF, four miscarriages, three acupuncturists, two rabbis and one reproductive immunologist. Amy wrote THE TRYING GAME because it is the book she wishes she’d had when she was trying (and trying and trying) to get and stay pregnant. Every year “National Infertility Awareness Week” shines a light on the many individuals and couples struggling with infertility. As Amy’s book reveals every single story is emotional, even harrowing. During today’s episode, Dr. Dan and Amy Klein discuss relevant topics and explore key chapters from THE TRYING GAME including: Why young women need to take control of their fertility early How do I deal with Mother’s Day envy? Baby jealousy - it’s a real thing online and in real life How to talk to other people with infertility Keeping your marriage intact during infertility The importance of accepting your all of feelings - this is hard What motherhood is like after infertility and miscarriage Amy shares a very honest and personal Parent Footprint Moment at the end of the show about being a daughter and a mother. It will inspire listeners today and on Mother’s Day. Empowering, compassionate, and down-to-earth, The Trying Game: Get Through Fertility Treatment and Get Pregnant Without Losing Your Mind shows you what to expect when you’re not expecting with heart, humor, and humanity when you need it the most.

In today's birth story, Amy's labor begins with a spontaneous rupture of the membranes, laboring at home for a number of hours, eventually transferring to the hospital where the labor continues with induction and epidural. As Amy and her husband are both actors, she describes the ways in which their acting training, specifically breath work & bodywork, helped her find her groove in her 3-hour pushing stage with a fairly large baby. She shares about some postpartum struggles with pelvic floor health. Finally, she details some compelling things to consider in partner communication and establishing healthy boundaries entering parenthood, particularly in light of the hormonal roller coaster we experience after birth.
Are you in the pursuit of more...more time, more meaningful relationships, more space and margin, more adventure? Often times in order to receive the "more" that we're desperately looking for, we need to give up something in return. In today's episode I sit down with friend and business owner Amy McCasland as she shares her family's story about giving up having it all in order to live fully as the family they were created to be. As Amy shares, she challenges us to not live in a "someday world." Her tips include: writing and recording what you're sensing and feeling consider what you're willing to give up to make the changes confide in a friend who can cheer you on make a list of action steps to move the needle forward experiment along the way Some of the resources she recommends are: Chasing Slow by Erin Loechner The More of Less by Joshua Becker Present Over Perfect by Shauna Niequist Make it Happen by Lara Casey The Cozy Minimalist Home by Myquillyn Smith You can find Amy at abideink.com or on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest @abideinkco
As Amy's miniature rescue mission goes south, Doc and Crux are left cornered and scared. There's still lots of ground to cover between their position and the safety of the ship. Kellen and Korv are still on their way to meet back up, and Doc starts advocating for violence. With everything going so poorly, can Crux still keep their personal connection to the Delta Star a secret?

In this week's episode, we’re going a little left of field, but, having said that, I know that it’s still going to be of tremendous value for you mamas and mamas to be out there. Today I chat with Amy Lea - an Astrologer, Human Design Guide and Energy & Soul Medicine Practitioner.Human Design gives you real permission to be who you are and trust your initiative – as a woman, as a mother as a friend, (everything really!) and particularly if you’ve always found yourself at odds with what the world is telling you you’re 'supposed to be doing' and what you feel is right for you. Human Design combines many different schools of wisdom in one: the Hindu chakras, the Chinese iChing, conventional astrology and the Kabbala’s Tree of Life and put very simply it shows you how your energy is designed to interact with the world around you. As Amy describes it's the perfect tool for self exploration.This is something I am currently diving deep into and I have had so many uh huh moments in the process. I know this isn’t for everyone, but I really encourage you to listen to this episode with an open mind and if it resonates, take the next step towards finding out more.Start here: https://www.mybodygraph.com/Find out more about Amy here: https://www.amylea.com.au/Jenna Zoe, (aka the Queen of Human Design: https://www.jennazoe.com/
Hear how anthropology is bringing you better design! This was a wonderful interview with a fellow anthropologist. Amy Santee is a design research and strategy consultant working in product development, innovation and business strategy. Trained as an anthropologist, Amy incorporates a human-centered lens to help teams build products, services and brands through an understanding of people, context and experience. What does that mean for you? Listen to our fascinating conversation and you'll find out. Learn and share! As you know, at SAMC we preach the virtues of stepping out and looking at things from the outside-in. Rather than assuming you know what your customers are doing, the challenges they are facing, or the fears and struggles with which they are coping, go out of the office and hang out with them. Listen to their stories. Let them tell you what they think is the problem with the solutions they have today. Don’t try and sell them anything. Just listen. Along those lines, Amy and I dig into the ways in which anthropologists work in Design Thinking to provide an ethnographic approach to new ways to design things. You will listen to hear how she is driven by an endless curiosity about how humans experience the world so they can make sense of complex problem spaces. As Amy says it so well: “We have to understand the people we're designing for in order to create things that are meaningful and relevant to them. Knowing what they care about is essential for increasing confidence in decisions, lowering risk, achieving business goals and differentiating from competitors." A little about Amy Santee Amy has worked primarily in the digital world, with experience in areas such as ecommerce, entertainment, retail, home improvement, health care, wearables, enterprise software and consumer tech. She is also a prominent figure in the community of anthropological practice, and blogs about design, business, organizational culture and careers at anthropologizing.com. She is now building her own business to bring anthropology to others. You can tell why I'm such a fan! You can find her on LinkedIn or visit her website, amysantee.com.

Amy hits the road and gets her sweaty ass to her former hometown of NYC! She chills with old friend, the hilarious and brilliant writer, actor, comedian, podcaster, Negin Farsad (How To Make White People Laugh, The Watch List, Fake the Nation podcast). As Amy rests her exhausted body (walking. I forgot about all the walking) these two gals chat about East Coast mama self care, beauty and how we never can stop the hustle.
Amy Malin is the guest on this week's episode to talk about how she went on 101 dates in 30 days in order to find love and spoiler alert, the 101st was the lucky number. She ended up marrying her 101st date and that wasn’t the first time she met him either. Tune in to listen to her story as well as her life journey which includes abuse, human trafficking and how she overcame her trauma by working with other abused women. As Amy says, “You can’t walk backwards into your future”.
This week, we have a special guest, Amy Wright, Human Resources Leader at Milestone Corporation. She has experienced our "Engaging Men as Allies" talk in many venues and formats and gives a glimpse behind the curtain as to what happens throughout the ally journey. As Amy shares her story of being with other HR professionals, her own leadership team, her full company, and then with women in the industry, the experiences differ and the learning evolves. She shares her take on being a mother to future allies, her struggle with pronouns, and how she utilizes the #flipittotestit tool to advocate for equality.
Elizabeth met Amy Silverman in real life when she was asked to "engage in conversation" with her at my local independent bookstore. She knew of Amy at the time as a journalist who had recently published a memoir called My Heart Can't Even Believe It: A Story of Science, Love, and Down Syndrome. We parents of children with disabilities and special needs know one another because of the communities we have created, and Elizabeth had seen Amy's work online, had friends who knew her and was otherwise familiar with her, but it was such a joy and honor to finally meet and then talk writing, books and -- well -- parenting a kid with special needs. In today's podcast, we got to pick Amy's brain on her new projects and what's been happening with her and her family since the book was published. Amy is funny -- so funny, in fact, that we laughed throughout the whole episode, and I think you'll very much enjoy joining us! Amy is a freelance writer/editor/teacher in her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, a place she's still learning to love. She's married to Ray Stern, an editor at Phoenix New Times, the alternative newsweekly. They have two children, Annabelle and Sophie. When Sophie was born, the couple were surprised to learn that she had Down Syndrome. As Amy said, "Wait a second, I have never written about Down syndrome. I have never met a person with Down syndrome. I don't know anything about people with intellectual disabilities. [I] had to have a real come-to-Jesus with myself, which is not easy for a Jewish girl, and realize that I was the one who avoided people with Down syndrome in the checkout line at Safeway." In today's conversation, we spoke about the transitions our children face when their older siblings leave home for college, and that led to Amy telling us about her daughter Sophie's persistent questioning of her own place in the world.

It's the final episode of the Punisher. With so many characters needing a payoff we discuss how successful it was in our Punisher 213 Review podcast for "The Whirlwind". We talk about our top five bullet points about this episode in our Spoiler filled discussion. As always make sure you've watched the episode before listening to the podcast. Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) and Amy (Giorgia Whigham) take a moment out. Punisher 213 Review Spoiler filled Synopsis Episode Written by: Steve Lightfoot Episode Directed by: Jeremy Webb After witnessing Krista Dumont's fall and believing her dead, Billy Russo (Ben Barnes) full of rage tries to kill Dinah Madani (Amber Rose Revah) in retaliation. He is shot by her and forced to escape from the police as they arrive. Badly wounded Russo attempts to get help from a whiskey swilling back-alley surgeon Doctor Charles (E.J. Carroll), who true to his name dumps Russo in a back-alley wheelie bin after taking all his money. As Russo awakes in the bin with his wounds still open and bleeding the irony of his situation is not lost on his dark sense of humour. Elsewhere and unbeknownst to Russo, both Dinah Madani and Krista Dumont (Floriana Lima) are still alive. As Krista awakes in hospital she is visited by Madani who forgets to bring flowers, chocolates and a bunch of grapes but remembers to bring lots of attitude! Meanwhile, a deal made between the Schultz’s and Frank Castle to exchange David Schultz (Todd Alan Crain) for Amy (Giorgia Whigham) gets complicated. As Amy notifies Frank of Pilgrim's whereabouts, she is only kidnapped by the Pilgrim during the ensuing shootout between him and Frank. At the same time Curtis Hoyle (Jason R. Moore) goes off script to free David and turns him over to Detective Sergeant Brett Mahoney (Royce Johnson). As the non-exchange of David and Amy gets crazy Pilgrim and Castle engage in a brutal hand-to-hand fight that Frank wins; but he doesn’t kill the Pilgrim after being asked by him to spare his sons. Instead Frank uses the man in black to secure a path to the Schultz residence where bullets go bang. Finally, as Russo takes shelter in Curtis' workplace basement, he waits for Curtis to sit with him until he dies. However, Curtis has called Frank who, with no chit-chat, executes Russo off-loading two bullets into his chest, killing him instantly! Three months later, after sending Amy to Florida to learn scuba-diving, Frank resumes his duties as the Punisher while Madani (conscience clear) works for the C.I.A.

Thought leaders in mentoring and networking join this episode to share stories and lessons for men as allies and those looking to diversify their networks. Dr. David Smith, co-author of Athena Rising: How and Why Men Should Mentor Women and gender expert, shares his candid conversation giving a peer constructive feedback. In his story, he confronts benevolent sexist behavior with one of his peers in the military. Similar to chivalry, benevolent sexism refers to protecting or treating women differently. It is often done with good intentions, yet is unhelpful for women long term. While men often are socialized to be the “knights in shining armor,” that is not what an ally does. Allies help those they mentor, sponsor, and/or champion to instead advocate for themselves. Amy is the author of Networking Beyond Bias: Making Diversity a Competitive Edge in Your Career. She shares her own personal story of addressing gender bias in the moment and how she called out negative behavior, leading to positive change. As Amy describes for our listeners, diversity goes beyond just race, gender, LGBTQ, or abilities, it is how we think and how we behave. She offers a clear strategy to diversify your network – reach out to those outside of your own industry. While it feels good to be comfortable with those like us, we learn when we are uncomfortable. We learn more from others different than us. Both Amy and David have an important message for men to engage as allies and mentors, rather than shy away, especially in a #metoo era.

On this episode I interview Amy Kilpin who shares insight into how to combine what you love and being able to pay the bills. We begin by exploring how Amy came to find herself competing for GB in triathlons having not being able to swim a length of front crawl back in 2012! We then move on to understand how Amy ‘balances’ running her own marketing business and competing (and training) for triathlons; including insights into what works for her and how she manages time. In her words; If I can do both, then in my eyes I’ve already won. When it comes to time; sometimes its full time, sometimes it’s part-time. As Amy puts it; it’s a mind-set shift and there’s no reason why others can’t do something similar.

It’s been twelve years since Stephen Walsh last played Tony the grape grower, in the classic Frank Loesser musical ‘The Most Happy Fella,’ at Cinnabar Theater. And to employ an over-picked cliché, in his second run of the show at Cinnabar, Walsh has only gotten better, deeper and rich—like a really, really good wine. The show itself—about romantic complications arising when the much older Tony, an Italian wine-maker in Napa, impulsively leaves a love letter for a San Francisco waitress—is a blend of fantasy romance and soap-opera heartbreak. It’s like something John Steinbeck might have written if asked to pitch an idea for a musical about love. Nicely directed by Elly Lichenstein, with her patented knack for filling the stage with things to look at, the production pivots on the performance of Walsh, who not only sings gorgeously, but nails the role of a love-struck sweetheart who believes he’s too old and unattractive to deserve happiness. Walsh makes Tony’s emotional journey so believable it’s impossible not be happy when happy and devastated when his desperate attempt at love hits snags, which it does from the very beginning. This is hardly light and fluffy musical material. There is real human drama here, and the music—with the exception of the poppy ear-worm ‘Standin’ on a Corner’— is complex and operatic, beautifully light and dark, bubbly and haunting, and occasionally a bit weird. This is the kind of show in which people sing whatever is in their soul, even if that means singing a single name over and over and over. As Amy—who Tony seems to think is named Rosabella—Jennifer Mitchell is charming. She’s especially strong in the early scenes where she is tricked—due to Tony having sent her a photo of his foreman instead of himself—into believing that her coffee shop pen-pal is the young and handsome guy she recognizes from the photo when she arrives at the Vineyard. She’s there in Napa, having impulsively agreed to marry the man she’s been swapping letters with. Mitchell sings beautifully, and plays the early flirtations of love and attraction to lovely effect. When she learns of the deception, a series of actions take place that steer the tale in the direction of tragedy, but never leaves us doubting that true love might somehow be possible for Tony, one way or another, no matter how unlikely. Michael Van Why, as Tony’s optimistic farmhand Herman, is magnificent—like the Scarecrow of Oz crossed with Curly from ‘Oklahoma’—and his guileless courtship of Amy’s friend Cleo—a power-force performance by Krista Wigle—is a nice balance to the rockier romance of Tony and his “Rosabella.” The music, played simply on two pianos and a set of drums, is nicely directed by Mary Chun. There are many reasons to see this show, but in the end, it all comes down to Walsh, who returns to a favorite role after a dozen years, and somehow makes it even better, giving one of the best performances of his career, and easily one of the North Bay’s best musical productions of 2016. ‘The Most Happy Fella’ runs through September 25 at Cinnabar Theater, www.cinnabartheater.org
Today’s Book Corner episode is on Amy Cuddy’s book called Presence: Bringing your Boldest Self to your Biggest Challenges published in 2015 by Little, Brown and Company; Hachette Book Group in New York. Amy was in a car accident when she was 19 years old and left her with a traumatic brain injury. Amy talks about how it left her feeling “anxious, disoriented, making bad decisions, not sure what to do next” in her life. Currently she is a Harvard Business School professor and social psychologist, known around the world. Throughout this book, Amy shares scientific research and interviews on the connection between our bodies and minds. How we can manage challenges and stressors in our lives through being present, more aware of body poses and small nudges can make a big differences. She defines presence as “..is the state of being attend to and able to comfortably express our true thoughts, feelings, values, and potential.” (p.24) She shares that when we are present we can: feel more confident be more authentic, help others feel more seen and heard, and have more personal power. She discussed impostor syndrome, how most of us have felt this at one time or another and it is not just felt by women or specific demographics. “When we feel like imposters, we don’t attribute our accomplishments to something internal and constant, such as talents or ability; instead we credit something beyond our control, such as luck.” (p. 101) Amy shares illustrations in the book on powerful vs powerless poses and how we hold our bodies impacts our thoughts and feelings. She shares some of William Jame’s research from the 1800’s on the body/mind connections. In her TED talk she shares doing the Wonder Woman pose and in the book shares a women sharing her and her family “starfish up” (standing with your arms above your head as if you scored a goal and your feet hip width apart.) If you are not feeling confident or struggling with anxiety, try standing in one of these poses for a minute or two and notice if you begin to feel different. Another body/mind connection she speaks about is yoga. In future podcast episodes I will share interviews with yoga instructors and how this can help reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. The last part of the book, Amy discussed how small incremental changes, or nudges, can lead to big changes in our lives. “Nudges are effective for several reasons: 1.Nudges are small and require minimal psychological and physical commitment 2.Nudges operate via psychological shortcuts, 3. Our attitudes follow from our behaviors” Remember the neurons that fire together wire together, which means when you do specific behaviors over and over those behaviors are reinforced.

Stephen is the CEO of Predictive ROI and host of the Onward Nation podcast. He is the author of two bestselling books, speaker, trainer, and his digital marketing insights have been featured in SUCCESS, Entrepreneur, The Washington Post, Forbes, Inc. Magazine, and other media. Good Morning Onward Nation...I’m Stephen Woessner. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me for today’s solocast -- especially today -- the day before Thanksgiving. It’s a special time of year for all of us to consciously consider all we have to be grateful for in our lives. And no matter the season your business is in -- whether it’s growing -- whether it’s slowing -- or maybe you’re in the fight of your life as you consider whether your business is worth saving -- I want you to know -- all of your fellow business owners who make up Onward Nation have all been there before. We have all experienced those moments when we cried as we held our head in our hands...sobbed at the same bad decisions we made for more than the first time...or grappled with how we would make payroll the next day...and the only solution is to not take a paycheck...yet again. Awesome. But through it all...you continued to have hope...you continued to believe in your dream...you continued to push through and not give up. And for that...there is much for all of us to be thankful for. You should be thankful for your courage...thankful for your blessings of family and friends who have been your shoulder to cry on when you needed it and the ones to kick you in the hind-end when you have needed that, too. Thankful for all of your mentors and the lessons they shared that helped lead you to where you are and the next levels to come. Thankful for all of the goodness in your life outside of your business -- and it is because of that goodness that we do this crazy thing called owning a business, right? And let’s even challenge ourselves to be thankful for the dark times because they force us to grow -- they force us to be strong. The dark times put us in seemingly unimaginable situations where we are doomed to fail -- and yet -- we find the will to fight, the will to push on, the will to survive, and these times show us the power of humility and being humble. That we don’t know it all -- not even close. And to be better -- not bitter -- because if we choose to be better, we will move on to reach that next level and to move our business onward. And we can do all of that if we approach life with a sense of humility. In fact, humility is one of the themes of today’s solocast. I ask each of our guests to share their perspectives regarding “the most critical skill they think business owners need to master in order to be thrive today.” So I am going to use this solocast to focus our attention toward three of these critical skills shared by our outstanding guests...the top business owners in the country. In episode 116, the amazing Wendy Keller joined me as my guest. I asked her the question about critical skills...she answered me with one word at first...“humility.” She paused and then took her thoughts deeper by sharing that it is only through humility that we become teachable. Until we are humble enough to set our ego aside and realize the answer we need in order to get our business back on track, or to that next level, may lay outside our expertise -- the answer will allude us. Our ego prevents us from seeing the solution even if it is staring us right in the face. It is only through humility can we begin to learn. I am grateful, Wendy -- thank you for sharing such a critical skill with Onward Nation. I am also grateful for all the lessons shared by David Long, my guest for episode 5. When I asked David the critical skills question, he reinforced that business owners need to “tap minds that are greater than your own.” We went on to have a deep discussion about the power of masterminding and how the collective force can and will propel a business for growth. Onward Nation...if you are not currently a member of a mastermind...I highly encourage you to find one...or create one. The proper mastermind can be the ignition to growth in your business. Thank you, David -- you are a powerful mentor. Then in episode 27, Amy Anderson shared her perspective of the most critical skill as being a “business owner has to have resilience in order to survive the bottomless pit that is entrepreneurship.” As Amy shared deeply during our discussion...it was resilience that was necessary for her to make it through several challenging moments...one of them life altering...and had it not been for her resilience...she would not have become the incredible business owner she is today. Thank you, Amy for being so generous with your expertise and so transparent -- letting us inside your story -- so we could learn from all of your experiences. I am grateful. Onward Nation… these three critical skills...humility, tapping minds greater than your own, and resilience are also interdependent with one another. For example, in order to tap minds greater than your own -- one must be humble enough to learn from the experiences shared by those around us -- and humble enough to apply the newly found knowledge into our businesses. And when times are tough...it takes resilience to get you through to the other side -- but often times -- our resilience can be strengthened by what we learn from others while in the place of humility. So Onward Nation…I am grateful for you being here. Each day is an opportunity to spend time with you and today’s top business owners. I approach each episode with humility and eagerness to learn by tapping into minds and experiences greater than my own. But why do I do this? Because I know that when times get tough -- the knowledge I have learned from our guests and all of these collective experiences will fuel my resiliency. So I have the courage to stand in the storm -- to see it through to the other side -- and shout, “I will not give up until I WIN.” We will all face storms, Onward Nation...and my hope for you is that these three skills will serve you well during your storm. You, Onward Nation...you...have 86,400 seconds today -- and I encourage you to dissect the three skills I just shared with you and quickly apply them into your business and into your life. And lastly, I just want to say thank you...thank you for being here, Onward Nation, and thank you for giving me the privilege to be with you each morning -- to share strategies to help you move your business onward to that next level. I will be back on Monday -- following a two-day break for Thanksgiving. On Monday, we will share my recent interview with Dr. Tony Alessandra -- another one of today’s top business owners. Until then, please know how grateful I am you are part of the ever growing Onward Nation. I wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving. Onward with Gusto!

Life can throw a lot of hardships in our paths, which it seems only the mentally strong can withstand... Following tragic losses in her life, Amy Morin LCSW wrote a list to remind herself how to keep going. Shared on lifehack.org, the list went viral, then flooded Forbes. Like a beacon in the night, Amy's worldwide best-selling book, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do, gives us all simple lessons in resiliency in a world where adversity can leave us feeling isolated.. Amy’s life was going along pretty well. But, when she was 22, her mother died suddenly of a brain aneurysm. Her mother was only in her early 50’s. Most people aren’t ready to lost their parents even if they pass away much older, but no one expects their parents to die that young. That’s just not supposed to happen! Amy was healing from that though. She was young in her career as a clinical social worker, was married and starting her life with her husband. But then, on the 3rd anniversary of her mother's death, her 26 year old husband died of a heart attack. What?!? As Amy put the pieces of her life together. She found a way to honor her young husband’s memory. Every year on his birthday, she would get together with his family and participate in life-affirming experiences. Sometimes they were adventurous trips, other times, they were more subdued, but they always made it fun and didn’t wallow in his loss. They found a way to see through the pain of the loss to celebrate life: his and theirs.Then, a few years later, Amy found love again and got remarried. She and her new husband were enjoying the early days of this marriage and looking forward to their life together. But then, tragedy struck yet again. This time, her new father-in-law was diagnosed with untreatable cancer. She was then faced with the anticipation of the loss of someone else she was close to – as well as the anticipation of having to help her new husband cope with the loss of his parent. The pain she, of course, knew all too well. This is when Amy decided she was really going to have to pull from all the mental strength she could find.Amy initially wrote the original list of “13 Things…” for herself. She speaks of doing it as a reminder to herself of how to successfully cope. She was working as a therapist and was good at helping others find their mental strength, but she discovered that focusing on what to do worked for a while, but she found “not so healthy” habits creeping in to sabotage her. The list helped her understand that she would/could survive these losses. Then, she realized others might benefit from the list and this is when the list took on a life of its’ own. She posted the article on Lifehack.org (you can read it here ). The list went viral within a few hours. The traffic generated from the article shut the page down! It was then re-posted on several other sites, including Forbes.com where it set a record at over 10 million views! To this day, it is still one of their most viral posts.It was after all this web attention, that Amy was approached by Harper Collins publishing house and asked to turn the list into a book. So, that’s exactly what she did. The book went on to become a bestseller. I think many people related to her story of strength and perseverance and found her advice practical and actionable.Here is the list of “13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do”They don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves,They don’t give away their power,They don’t shy away from change,They don’t waste energy on things they can't control,They don’t worry about pleasing everyone,They don’t fear taking calculated risks,They don’t dwell on the past,They don’t make the same mistakes over and over,They don’t resent other people’s success,They don’t give up after the first failure,They don’t fear time alone,They don’t feel the world owes them anything, andThey don’t expect immediate results.Amy talks of our mental capabilities as a muscle that can be exercised and strengthened. I also subscribe to this thinking. One of my favorite things to work on with my clients is helping them build their mental strengths, or resiliency traits. We are all born with part of our personality predetermined by our genetics. How the other part of our personality developed is thought to be determined by how we are nurtured. As we are growing up, we receive certain messages about how we should or shouldn’t deal with stress, upset, disappointment, as well as love, happiness and all the rest of our emotions. Those messages are internalized and stored as fact, even if they are not in our best interest. For instance, I learned as a child that when I am stressed out I should eat to make myself feel better, which led to a struggle with weight as an adult due to my engagement int his self-soothing behavior. I've had to learn to fight against what fact that although not true, nor in my best interest.Amy Morin’s “13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do” takes a refreshing spin on how to overcome struggle and, in her case, multiple losses. Amy’s list resonates with many of us I believe because collectively we have been focusing on what “to do” or what we “should do”. When we don’t “do” what we are “supposed to do to be healthy”, we end up feeling like a failure. However, Amy’s list focuses on “what not to do”. Such a different way of thinking! I say this because when we twist up, say, #11. “They don’t fear time alone” into the “You should do this” type of list, it becomes “They are comfortable being alone”. Somehow not fearing something feels much different than “you should be comfortable” with something. That way of thinking can set many people up for failure. I believe if we re-wrote the list from the “what to do” perspective, it would start to sound like “Mentally strong people just do more then you when you are tired of trying”. Not very empowering.Strengthening those emotional muscles to help you become stranger and more resilient takes active work. I’ll leave you with this. The work can be tough, but if your perspective is accepting and forgiving of yourself, reminding yourself of what not to do can feel achievable.Resources13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do Amazon.comAmy Morin's website5 Powerful Exercises to Increase your Mental Strength Amy Morin7 Ways Mentally Strong People Handle Stress More Effectively Amy Morin ***************************************************************************If you are enjoying the podcast and want to support it without it costing you a dime, there are 3 ways:Share an episode on your social mediaLeave a great review wherever you love to listen to your podcastsUse my Amazon Storefront Amazon.com/shop/drColleenMullen When you enter Amazon through my storefront.

Greetings, my friends. Relax, take a load off, and gather 'round your favorite podcast listening device of choice. Four friends gathered one fateful Wednesday night to record a podcast known as OurDailyPodcast. As Amy, David, Mark, and Peter sat down to share their thoughts on all things Baylor, they did not expect or imagine what was about to happen. What ensued over the next two hours was equal parts hilarity and terrifying. The name of Texas Tech was invoked. Offense and defense was confused regularly. The simplest of names was mispronounced. It was a dumpster fire of epic proportions. Yet, from the ashes, a podcast episode arose. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you that podcast. News & Notes We've experienced ALL of the injuries! Oh noes! Oklahoma State Preview Contrary to what Peter may say (many, many times), this is not the Texas Tech preview week. It's the Oklahoma State preview. We're here to calm your fears. Or maybe exacerbate them. I'm not entirely sure. No Huddle A very good set of No Huddle questions (thanks to you, loyal listener) is immediately driven right into a ditch. Also, this is for Amy and anyone else who hasn't read it: Meet BEEFTANK, the Jaguars' 400-pound quarterback. Also this: Jaguars 42, Broncos 0: The return of BEEFTANK Picks of the Week (picks of the weeeeeeek) Here are your picks! Reminder: these are for entertainment purposes only. (Fank, Mark) Aggy @ LSU (-4.5)(Amy, Peter) OU @ K-State (-4.5) (Unanimous) Kansas @ Iowa State (-5) (Unanimous) (Peter, Amy, Mark) (-9.5) Baylor @ Oklahoma State (Fank) Community Feedback First off, let me say that you guys are AWESOME. You came out of the woodwork and put together an impressive list of signs. You even created a fan post about it. If you haven't clicked over to it, you should do so now! We weren't able to get to all of the suggested GameDay signs, but we did give you several of our favorites. Plus, we're putting our favorites to a vote! Plus, I still want to hear more sign options in the comments, so keep sharing! A couple of the sign ideas needed formatting that the poll options couldn't provide. Here they are: oso.johnny's sign: havE we Still Played Nobody? pbpope's sign: Can God Save a hooker Orange Pride Escort? We got a couple of calls on That Good Ol' Baylor Phone Line, but both of them were really difficult to hear. Sorry about that.
