Russell's heart was missing a valve. He had surgery at twelve-days-old, and a few more over the years. This condition kept him from doing many things kids do. He had strength and endurance challenges. He lived with fear of getting hurt. His physicality revolved around protecting his chest and not damaging anything internally. His identity loss was the form of an identity nipped in the bud. Instead of the weak, slight kid with some academic confidence, he'll never know who he would or could have been, had he been born with a normal heart. The flip side is a man fully engaged with life. Russell views life more broadly, values it more deeply, and believes he may experience more joy than the average person. Listen to what it's like to live in a body that holds you back. Learn how he faces obstacles and challenges and endures the grief of lost opportunities. Find out how he dealt with comparison with others. Discover how he went from not being able to run on the basketball court for more than a few minutes to now doing strength training and rucking events, even though he can never build extra muscle. What role has experimentation played? What keeps Russell motivated to keep working so hard and continually discover what's possible? Bio Russell Smith is a writer and real estate investor, with a family firm soon to celebrate 70 years in business, in Louisville, Kentucky. He writes a weekly newsletter with the tongue-twisting title of Solvitur Ambulando, which means “solve it by walking” and which focuses on modern living, philosophy, lessons from unheralded books, and adding a dash of intellectualism to life without getting a headache. He has just completed two terms on the Board of Directors of St. John Center, a non-profit for the homeless, where he served as Board Chair and revamped their largest fundraising event. He also serves on the Advisory Board of the Sorkin Center in Washington DC, which strengthens non-profit Boards and leaders. His wife, Kathleen, works in government relations for a hospice provider. He has two daughters, Beatrice (10) and Cordelia (8) — yes, named for characters in Shakespeare. The family welcomed two new Havanese puppies this summer, Otis and Olivia.

A startling 6.6% of Fortune 500 companies have women as their CEOs and only 23% of C-Suites are made up of women. Such statistics show that gender bias is prevalent despite increased traction and awareness around diversity, equity, and inclusion. While progress is slow, thankfully, it is not stagnant. Many businesses receive questions about the lack of diversity within their organization and what they are doing to fix it.  In this episode, Jack speaks with three wealthtech legends: Noreen Beaman, Vice Chair Board of Directors at Orion Advisor Solutions, Lori Hardwick, Board Director at Cetera, Orion, and Cerity Partners and Board Chair at Vestwell and Docupace, and Cheryl Nash, Chief Executive Officer of Financial Supermarket at InvestCloud.

The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce recently announced that Lori Flink, with Allegro Business Products, has been named the Chairman's Council "Volunteer of the Quarter" for first quarter 2023. Flink was honored during the chamber's March Good Morning Cherokee breakfast networking event. Members of the Chairman's Council are accepted by invitation only from the Chamber's Board Chair. The Chairman's Council members are invited to attend ribbon cuttings, ground breakings and coffee and connections for new members, and special invitation chamber meetings that aren't open to the general membership. In determining the "Volunteer of the Quarter," attendance at chamber events is evaluated for all members of the Chairman's Council. "There was no doubt when naming this quarter's honoree as Lori has attended many chamber events since the first of the year," said Trey Ragsdale, external affairs, Kaiser Permanente and 2023 chamber board chair. For information on the Cherokee County Chamber and its programs, visit www.CherokeeChamber.com. Cherokee made it two county teams in the final four with its 70-66 win at Carrollton on Wednesday night. The Warriors went into a hostile environment and took care of business nearly two hours south of their home court. Trailing by two points with two minutes to go, Braylin Giddens tied the game with a layup through traffic. Tayden Owens connected on a 3-pointer with one minute to go, giving Cherokee the lead, and Cameron Pope drained two clutch free-throws with 20 seconds left to seal the win. Dastin Hart finished as Cherokee's leading scorer with 22 points and hauled in 12 rebounds for a double-double. Pope had 15 points, Giddens scored 11 points and Owens finished with 10 points. Lawrence Sanford added eight points off the bench. Hart was key in his second game back from an injury suffered in the region championship game. He played well in the 73-58 win over Berkmar, but he returned to his typical dominant self on Wednesday night. Cherokee will take on Norcross on Saturday at Georgia State University, the team that knocked it out of the playoffs last season. Ahead of Easter, Cherokee Recreation and Parks is asking for donations of pre-filled Easter baskets for local children in need. “As part of our ‘Some Bunny Special' program, we reach out to the community each year to ask for assistance in helping the Easter Bunny gift baskets to these local kids in need,” said Cherokee Recreation and Parks Marketing and Community Outreach Coordinator Jessica Hallman. Requested items for the baskets include Easter-themed candy, coloring books, crayons, colored pencils, socks, puzzles, stuffed animals, toy Easter eggs and Easter-themed books for children ages 1 through 12. Donations of handmade or purchased baskets are welcome, and pre-filled baskets may be wrapped in clear plastic. Cherokee Recreation and Parks will accept the baskets starting Wednesday through April 7. Baskets can be dropped off at the Cherokee Recreation and Parks South Annex location at 7545 Main St., building 200 in Woodstock, the Cherokee County Aquatic Center, 1200 Wellstar Way near Holly Springs and the L.B. “Buzz” Ahrens Recreation Center, 7345 Cumming Highway near Canton. Baskets can be dropped off between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. All candy must be sealed in its original packaging and baskets are to be pre-filled before drop-off. A brewery with office, retail and restaurant space could be on the way to Highway 20 near Old Mill Road in east Cherokee County.  About three miles east of there, a business is seeking to open a special event venue. Both proposed developments will require approval by Cherokee County officials. The county's planning commission is scheduled to hold public hearings on zoning applications for the two projects Tuesday. Freedom 20 Brewery, LLC is applying to rezone of a little over five acres at 11058 Cumming Highway, near Domino's Pizza, from estate residential to general commercial. The business is also requesting a special use permit for a brewery with office, retail and restaurant space within the area. The property currently has an older, 1,200 square foot barn, according to county documents. In a separate application, Countryside Ventures, LLC is seeking to rezone 16.76 acres from agriculture single family residential to general commercial at 14045 Cumming Highway, near Hopewell Road. The applicant is also requesting a special use permit to build a 6,400 square feet of special event facility. If approved by the county, the 117-seat facility would be called Countryside Ventures. After Tuesday's public hearing, the Cherokee County Planning Commission is expected to make a recommendation on each application to elected officials. The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners will make the final decision. Students at Carmel Elementary School recently completed a "kindness calendar" for the month of February, showing an act of kindness each day, the school announced.

Kent Thiry is one of the most admired and accomplished leaders in the country. For many years he was CEO and Board Chair of Davita - and now he is a philanthropist, a friend and a trusted advisor to high potential CEOs, politicians, environmental activists, and rising stars. Thiry also works closely with top private equity firms including KKR and Partners Group. During this conversation, Thiry is completely vulnerable and comfortable in his own skin - sharing with us crucible experiences - that both tested and shaped his leadership mettle. For example, Thiry shares with us his recent horrifying experience with the U.S. Government which accused him of conspiracy - violating the Sherman Act - charges which he was completely and quickly exonerated. Importantly, Thiry explains what he learned from this agonizing experience, and imparts wisdom for any aspiring leader who will themselves inevitably confront terrifying challenges - and who will need to dig deep, develop resilience, and lean into their core values. This is what leadership in today's unpredictable world requires - and there is simply no better mentor or sounding board than today's guest. www.imperfectleaders.com

Today on Wake Up Tri-Counties we were joined by Henry County Board Chair Kippy Breeden and Vice Chair Marshall Jones were our guests to wrap up Thursday night's Henry County Board Meeting. The meeting was taken up with a lengthy conversation regarding an application for American Rescue Plan funds from St. Malachy's School in Geneseo. In the end, the County Board rejected the application for funds. Kippy Breeden and Marshall Jones stated that the reasoning behind the application being rejected was not because it is a school or a religious school, though they did not elaborate on exactly why the application was rejected. The application was the only one of 17 applications for A.R.P funds that was rejected by the Henry County Board.

In this episode, we explore the art of balancing group dynamics and safety when belaying on a ropes course while also respecting the participants awareness of tasks that are purely for behavior management. Notes from Lisa Hunt.  This exchange happened somewhere back around 2001, and I wrote it up shortly thereafter with Ken's input: The question of how to engage the most number of students at a time on a challenge course is one that is often raised in workshops.  A common approach is involving people (students) in the tasks of operations to “keep them busy.”  Years ago, my co-leader during a workshop differentiated  these tasks as “real jobs” and “fake jobs,” and challenged participants to consider the implications of both on student behavior and growth, as well as program quality over all.    That co-leader is Ken Demas,  Veteran Physical Education teacher, former Project Adventure Trainer, coach, Board Chair at NYSAHPERD, Coordinator of Adventure and an Associate Prof. at Hofstra University  – an important mentor to me.  That conversation has come with me to so many subsequent workshops, and I wanted to go back to the source to hear more about Ken's experience and thoughts.  He has generously expanded this question here:  Fake Jobs—Real Jobs: As you may recall, one of the things I did for about 16-17 years, was to act as a consultant for NY Insurance Reciprocal.  One of the adventure cases I reviewed involved too many spotters, not too few. In an effort to involve more students at low elements, teachers would over involve students in spotting jobs.  One case in particular occurred at the rear of the “Wall”. The teacher had used it as the culminating activity for the low element portion of the adventure unit. Because the entire class was involved, the teacher had placed 6 spotters at the ladder at the rear of the Wall.  When a student started to descend, she missed the step and fell backwards. Everyone was responsible and at the same time no one was responsible. No one moved. Too crowded?? Not engaged?? Not important enough?? Too many involved and therefore not a REAL JOB.  Students need to be invested in the job. See a real need for it.  Understand that what they are doing is important to the success and safety of the individual or individuals involve.  Too many spotters diminishes the significance of what they are doing.   With this concept in mind, we fall into the same problem when we assemble a belay team.  A belayer, a back-up and when needed, an anchor should be more than adequate to manage a climber.  My least favorite bogus job is that of rope tender. I fully understand that it might look like a real job, but the kids know it is not.  Has anyone taught the rope handler how to coil the rope or flake it out so that when the climber descends it does not foul in the hands of the belayer?  Probably not. Couldn't the back-up do this job if taught properly? The use of the Australian Back-up Belay involve kids in Real Jobs.  The facilitator as a ropes course manager, can engage more students in a meaningful way.  Properly trained belayers can determine whether or not the need an anchor. What weight differential is needed?  How does their position, whether near or far, alter the shear on the belay system and therefore alter resistance.  Make the job more than that of a counter weight. When the manager has competently train belayers, they have the opportunity to open more activities and thus engage more students.  A good technique I used, required that student to make journal entries right after completing a climb.  Belayers were also encouraged to make entries during class. Course design should be considered.  I mixed Australian with traditional belays.  Grigri set-up with competent kids and teams and I would belay Pamper pole events.  I was always positioned to see and control whichever elements were being used. Some folks might find this overwhelming.  But, my department at the middle school found that it worked. Note from Lisa: Ken Demas passed away in May of 2017.  He was a “once in a lifetime” kind of mentor.  At his memorial service, I met so many people who saw him in that same light.  He is deeply missed, and his adventuresome spirit and his questions of me continue to help me grow.  Music and Sound effects - epidemicsound.com Intro music - I've Found My Way by Hallman   Bridge music - This is the Right Time by Orjan Karlsson

As Spark Performance League Commissioner, Angie McAllister designs events that build strength, purpose, and belonging—with a healthy dose of competition thrown in. Learn about Lifespark's TRYathlon™ Tournament and National Forklift Racing League, plus musings on next generation senior living and aging in place. About Angie Angie McAllister NHA has nearly three decades of experience in senior living, proudly having started her career as a Certified Nursing Assistant. She is currently the Spark Performance League Commissioner at Lifespark, where she is working closely with communities to build out an athletic league in senior living that supports the organization's mission of empowering seniors to live fuller, more independent lives. Angie was recently voted The Eden Alternative International's Board Chair. She was the 2016 recipient of the Nancy J. Fox Leadership Award and the 2018 recipient of the Eden Alternative Champion Award. Her experience spans transformational growth, change management and person-centered programming that sparks creativity and engagement. Previously to joining Lifespark she led Quality of Life and Culture Change Initiatives for Signature Healthcare, working closely with communities to facilitate transformation practices and eventually assisting many to join The Eden Alternative. Key Takeaways Lifespark commissions athletic leagues with teams, competitions, and prizes. The National Forklift Racing League is a contest using remote control forklifts—residents work as a team to stack the most poundage onto a set of scales within a time limit. There was backward motion towards an institutional approach during the pandemic, even in senior living communities with best practices. Along the lines of the Eden Alternative, personal transformation has to take place and the “blinders need to come off,” to transform the aging services industry. Relational trust is necessary to make to make big changes and spur innovation. Trends in senior living include a movement to smaller communities and intentional multi-generational concepts, and away from service-oriented hospitality towards engagement and citizenship. Activity professionals are the heart of senior living communities and underacknowledged for the work they do to improve residents' quality of life.

You look good for your age.” “You're too young to understand.”  In employment decisions, family discussions, medical care, and even in birthday cards, assumptions about being “over the hill” or “a lazy kid” are common. What do you wish society would stop saying about your generation? How can we talk about age and aging in a more positive, affirming way? In this interactive and fun talk, Dori Gillam welcomes individuals from every generation to explore how we can begin valuing all ages — including our own. Dori Gillam is a speaker and writer, inspiring older adults to age creatively. She writes for 3rd Act Magazine, is a member of the Speaker's Bureau for Humanities Washington, Board Chair for the NW Center for Creative Aging, Charter Member of the Age Friendly Seattle Coalition, and volunteers with Habitat for Humanity building houses around the world.

Dori's daughter, son-in-law, and grandson live in California. Northwest Center for Creative Aging (NWCCA) advocates for the creativity, vitality, and wholeness inherent in all of us. As we age, we discover new capacities and new interests. We seek activities that expand our minds, strengthen our bodies, and open our hearts. We recognize the necessity of interdependence, humor, generosity, and gratitude to bolster us during challenging times. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and Northwest Center for Creative Aging.

Kerry Minervini was once a PTA member looking to make a difference as the mom of two boys in Marietta City Schools. Now, she has begun her second consecutive, year-long term as chair of the Marietta Board of Education, after an unanimous vote by the seven-member board to return her to the role. In March, Minervini will mark six years as a board member. She recalls coming into the role thinking she knew what the board did, though she quickly realized she “had no clue.” With all that happened in 2022, from three new board members to shuffling through three different principals at Marietta High School, Minervini deemed it “the year of change.” Even with almost six years under her belt, then, 2022 was another learning curve for Minervini. Minervini said challenges the board had to address early in 2022 included an uptick in student discipline issues following the 2021 Christmas break, something she said was not helped by the social experiences kids lost to COVID. Minervini is turning her sights toward the district's priorities for 2023 after a year that was defined by uncertainties. She identified five areas that the board will focus on this year, starting with the top priority: improving district-wide literacy. Minervini said third grade reading levels are significant indicators of a student's future success, and that “a really large portion” of Marietta third graders were below the reading level. Rivera said 37.5% of the district's third graders scored below grade level on the English language arts portion of the Georgia Milestones End of Grade tests. It's on the district, she said, to bring those reading levels up, which it will attempt to do through targeted tutoring programs this month for third graders at each of the district's elementary schools who need extra help. Minervini said parents had to opt their children into the programs, which will be small-group tutoring sessions after school. The program will run until the district's next round of MAP testing in April, she noted, at which time the board “is hoping to see some return on investment.” Gary Varner built Allatoona's football program from the ground up, turning it into a consistent winner and molding it into one of the best programs in the state. Now, the only head coach the Buccaneers have known is ready to hand the reins to someone else to keep the ship afloat. Varner stepped down from his post Tuesday, shortly after having a meeting with his players and sending out an email message to parents. The move comes with the hope that Varner can finally get healthy. During the second half of his tenure at Allatoona, Varner has underwent three cancer surgeries — the last coming last spring. It limited him to having to coach the first half of the 2022 season from the press box. Once the season was complete, Varner and his family — he and his wife, Emily, have four children — came to the conclusion that it was the right time to step away. Former Harrison coach Matt Dickmann, a good friend and on-field adversary of Varner's, said he was happy to know that Varner would be putting himself first for a change. Through his health issues, Varner may have done some of his best coaching this season. After Allatoona got off to a 1-5 start, which included close losses to ranked teams Kell and Cartersville, it rallied to win its final four games of the regular season and then won a first-round playoff game to finish the year 6-6. It marked the 13th straight season in which Allatoona made the playoffs. The William Root House Museum from February 1-25 will have the house as it would have appeared during a Victorian-era wedding and reception. No wedding had a greater impact on marriage rituals and traditions than Queen Victoria's wedding to Prince Albert on February 10, 1840. Southerners, in particular, had a fascination with the British aristocracy and eagerly adopted their customs and etiquette. Museum visitors will see how a Southern middle-class family like the Roots would have planned their nuptials and learn the origin of many wedding customs and traditions still practiced today. Nineteenth century wedding illustrations, invitations and an authentic 1860s gown will be displayed during this exhibit. Exhibit admission is included in the cost of regular museum admission. In conjunction with the exhibit, the William Root House will also host a special after-hours program called “Sex, Love, and Marriage in Victorian America” on February 18 at 7 p.m. This program is restricted to guests 18 years or older. Tickets for this program are $15 per person and must be purchased online in advance. Space is limited. For more information, visit WilliamRootHouse.com/Wedding. The Development Authority of Cobb County took the first step this week toward approving an additional $1.5 million in bonds for a senior living apartment complex in south Cobb. The Prestwick Development and Marietta Housing Authority-backed venture previously received $13.5 million for the project, but representatives said rising construction costs required them to ask for more financing. The vote to approve an inducement resolution — which moves the authority closer to issuing new bonds — carried 6-0, with board member Karen Hallacy absent. The project, dubbed “Meredith Park,” sits near the intersection of Powder Springs Road and Anderson Farm Road, just southwest of the East-West Connector. First proposed in 2019, the complex of nearly 150 apartments targeted to renters ages 55 and up is expected to be completed in February. Josh Marx of Prestwick said that the cost overruns are due to rising material costs over the last several years, not any changes to the design of the project. He added that the project is targeted to residents earning between 40% and 80% of the area median income ($25,000 to $65,000 per family), with a guarantee rent won't take up more than 30% of a resident's income. The Roadrunner Sensory Room is now open at Rocky Mount Elementary for students to decompress during the school day. The room offers an array of toys, games and furniture children can enjoy, including beanbags and a mini trampoline. Rocky Mount Principal Cheri Vaniman told the MDJ the room is for all students to use when they need to or when their teachers schedule time for it. The room has items for relaxation like weighted blankets, and a punching bag if students feel like they need to punch something. The items for the room were donated to the school by Piedmont Church. Sage Doolittle, Rocky Mount's assistant principal, said students need opportunities to refocus in the middle of a busy school day. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com            See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Thursday night, the Henry County Board approved a resolution opposing House Bill 5471, the assault weapons ban that passed the Illinois House and Senate early this month and was signed by Governor J.B Pritzker on January 10th, 2023. This move by the Henry County Board follows up on a letter published by Henry County Sheriff Joshua Verscheure earlier this month stating that he would not enforce HB 5471. The law is currently on hold pending a court challenge. Henry County Board Chair Kippy Breeden did not elaborate on the resolution, rather she only announced its passing in our interview on Wake Up Tri-Counties on Friday morning. The Henry County Board Chair did say that the County would offer more information soon via a press release. Kippy Breeden was joined on Wake Up Tri-Counties by Henry County Economic Development Director Jim Kelly who talked about the Rural Revolving Loan Fund. New loans were approved at Thursday's meeting and there is more money in the fund for those seeking help in improving an existing business or starting a new business.

This forced exodus impacts Latinos' financial security and disrupts the stability and ready access to education and health services which are the elements of thriving communities .Luis Granados, CEO of the Mission Economic Development Agency in San Francisco and Board Chair of UnidosUS, the largest civil rights organization for Latinos in the US, has been working diligently for over 20 years in response to gentrification in the San Francisco Mission District.  He believes that the agency is helping to curb the tide of gentrification by becoming both a Community Development Financial Institution as well as a Housing Developer, and has grown his agency from serving hundreds to housing thousands by responding to the changing needs of the local community. Listen in to Luis's perspectives on what it will take for us to continue to protect our vibrant and historically deeply-rooted Latino communities.
