In this episode, we discuss resiliency—both individual and organizational—during times of profound change with Jim Canales, President and Trustee at Barr Foundation.Jim reflects on resiliency in the context of his upcoming transition from President to Board Chair at Barr, noting that it's not just about weathering the winds of change, but about learning from past experiences, mistakes, and challenges—and using those lessons to guide how we lead into the future.Among those lessons for senior leadership: knowing when to step forward and when to step back.We speak candidly about the dynamics between executives and boards, and the missed opportunities for alignment that arise when boards become an impediment rather than a partner in leadership. For Jim, resiliency means maintaining clarity and continuity around core values, while leaving room for fresh perspectives and new approaches. In fact, we suggest that organizations can—and must—balance bold, new leadership with a deep commitment to their founding values. It's a delicate dance, and one that truly resilient institutions are capable of performing.As both solution and testimony, Jim brings humility and intentionality to the conversation—offering insight into how senior leaders can create the enabling conditions that empower new leadership to thrive, encourage collaboration, and invite meaningful change.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week Hélène Himmer, a French national with roots in the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, now based in Portugal joins me in conversation about her current work at African Futures Lab (AfaLab) leading a project on climate reparations. I met Hélène last November at FORGE: Harnessing Creative Arts for Reparatory Justice, a convening of artists, media, cultural workers, civil society, and government leaders across Africa, Europe and the U.S. to further the movement for reparations. The event took place in Accra, Ghana and featured Glocal Citizens Esther Armah (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/esther-armah), Makmid Kamara (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/makmid-kamara), and Nyamal Tutdeal (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/nyamal-tutdeal) as facilitators. In addition to meeting so many dynamic diasporans I was introduced to organizations like AfaLab, an international non-profit organization supporting racial justice movements in Europe and Africa through conducting research and developing policy and legal strategies to empower civil society actors and public and private institutions in their fight for justice and reparations. Currently the Policy and Advocacy Officer at AfaLab, Hélène is a committed activist and professional with a diverse background in human rights law, corporate social responsibility and international development. Her activism began in her early teens with a youth organization focused on education, youth rights and inclusion. She then spent several years working for racial justice in France. Moving to the corporate sector, Hélène worked in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in start-ups and technology companies. However, her passion for social impact led her to international organizations where she specialized in advocacy, project management and partnerships. Her work has focused on climate justice, peacebuilding, anti-corruption, women's empowerment, youth cooperation and inclusive societies across Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and the MENA region. Where to find Hélène?

In March 1988, when the Board Chair of Gallaudet University, the world's only Deaf university, announced Gallaudet's new president, she had no idea what was about to happen. As chronicled in Nyle DiMarco and Davis Guggenheim's riveting new documentary, “Deaf President Now!”,  the students revolted against the decision to hire yet another hearing person to lead the university and took over the campus. In the span of just over one week, their struggle would not only transform Gallaudet but write a powerful new chapter in the history of the Civil Rights Movement.   Nyle and Davis join Ken on the pod to describe this remarkable protest movement and their own dynamic creative partnership. The result is a film that combines thrilling archival footage with moving contemporary interviews and deep insights into the Deaf experience. The film's original use of the Deaf POV and innovative sound design demonstrate that the revolution that began at Gallaudet has profoundly changed the culture and, now, the documentary form itself.   “Deaf President Now!” premieres on Apple+ on May 16.   Hidden Gems: Davis: No Other Land, Black Box Diaries Nyle: Crip Camp   Follow: @nyledimarco on Instagram X @davisguggenheim on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X    The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

This Women's HERStory Month, I'm celebrating women who are using food to build community, preserve culture, and spark meaningful change. One of those incredible women is Mahfam Moeeni-Alarcon , the founder and co-owner of Mingle + Graze, a cheese shop and eatery in downtown Chandler, Arizona, that is so much more than a place to eat—it's a space for connection, learning, and inclusion. Mahfam's journey from selling marinated olives at farmers' markets to pioneering grazing boards in the Phoenix area is a testament to her entrepreneurial spirit and passion for hospitality. Drawing from her Iranian heritage and her husband's Chilean roots, she infuses her menu with flavors and traditions that tell stories of culture, migration, and home. Her commitment to sustainability, food safety, and inclusivity is evident in every aspect of her work—from composting and recycling efforts to strict allergen protocols at Mingle + Graze. But Mahfam's impact doesn't stop at her businesses. As the Board Chair for Chandler Sister Cities, a member of the Chandler Arts Commission and a member of Les Dames d'Escoffier Phoenix Chapter, she fosters global connections and celebrates cultural diversity in her community. Mahfam is making HERstory by showing that food is more than sustenance—it's a bridge between cultures, a tool for empowerment, and a way to create a more inclusive world.

Today, May 1, is the first day of Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month. I'm bringing back this special episode from last year; it's a listener favorite, one of my favorites, and one of our most popular downloads. I'm deeply honored to share my interview with Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, thought leader, and wholeness advocate, Alanis Morissette! She is joined by the president and CEO of Postpartum Support International, Dr. Wendy Davis. Alanis has given much of her time, heart, energy, and effort to raise awareness about maternal mental health. In our conversation, she shares vulnerable and enlightening peeks into her personal experience, and her feelings mirror what many suffering women feel.  Alanis found PSI as a resource when she was dealing with perinatal mental health challenges, and she has openly shared about the value of PSI resources while on tour. In addition to being a long-time, powerful presence in the music world, she has become an equally influential advocate for mental health. She has been vocal about experiencing postpartum depression, or “postpartum activity,” as she has referred to it. In our conversation, she shares like never before what her experience was like, how it impacted her life, and how she has found her way to healing. Being in the public eye as a well-known performer has brought a whole other level of pressure and scrutiny to Alanis' life experiences under the bright–and sometimes stinging–light of celebrity. Dr. Wendy Davis began as a volunteer with PSI in 1997, became the executive director in 2009, and later became the president and CEO. She was drawn to this work after healing from postpartum depression and has become a passionate advocate and leader in the world of perinatal mental health. I've been privileged to see Wendy in action at PSI and work closely with her in my role as the Board Chair. Her heart-centered and help-centered approach to leadership has grown PSI into the leading perinatal mental health non-profit in the world today. Show Highlights: ● Alanis' struggle to balance the people-pleasing life of a celebrity with “the dark swamp of depression” that nobody wanted to see or hear ● Being a high-achieving perfectionist who is self-reliant and autonomous puts a person at a greater risk for postpartum depression. ● Figuring out the archetype of “mom” is a lifelong journey. ● Understanding how the 90s rock and roll scene was a strongly patriarchal environment that left Alanis feeling more isolated and less connected ● Alanis' experience with anger, rage, panic attacks, and a loss of identity ● Tenderness, love, and empowerment in motherhood ● Our immense gratitude for Alanis' impact as a fierce advocate and champion of PSI's work and helpful resources Resources: Connect with Alanis Morissette: Find out more about Alanis' music and events on her⁠ Website⁠; follow Alanis on social media:⁠ Instagram⁠,⁠ Facebook⁠, and⁠ YouTube⁠ Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

In this heartfelt episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty welcomes DEI strategist and bridge builder Mathias Lemos Castillo to explore the art of balancing personal life and workplace relationships in today's fast-paced, hybrid world. From setting intentional boundaries to creating inclusive spaces for connection, Mathias shares wisdom on authenticity, emotional intelligence, and curiosity as tools for navigating complexity. Whether you're managing teams, relationships, or simply seeking clarity in chaos, this episode will help you embrace balance—not as perfection, but as presence. About the Guest:Mathias Lemos Castillo is a bilingual DEI consultant and founder of MLC Consulting. Originally from Uruguay and based in the U.S. for over two decades, Mathias is passionate about building inclusive cultures where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Formerly the Board Chair of the Latino Professionals Association of Greater Madison, he now helps organizations and leaders navigate cultural nuance, emotional intelligence, and real human connection at work. Key Takeaways: Balance is an ongoing process, not a fixed goal—intention is key. Authentic leadership starts with self-awareness and setting clear boundaries.

It's an overcast Saturday morning in late March and Station 20 West, located on 20th Street West and Avenue L South, is buzzing with activity.People have gathered to learn more about Naloxone, how to safely administer it to someone overdosing from opioids, and to talk about what can be done to help our community get through this difficult point in time.Saskatoon's drug and overdose crisis has been all over the news. A CBC story notes the Saskatoon Fire Department has responded to 935 overdose incidents or suspected opioid poisonings since the start of the year. That's compared to 376 incidents in the same time period last year.The Saskatoon Library closed two branches for a month over safety and overdose concerns, and Prairie Harm Reduction, which we have featured on the podcast several times, temporarily paused its operations in March to give its staff an opportunity to deal with the trauma they are seeing every day in our city. I think the local media and the Hard Knox Talks podcast have done an exemplarily job of telling the stories amidst this crisis, and I struggled to find a way to get into the crisis through the podcast. Then I learned about this gathering at Station 20 West and thought there might be some people who would be willing to share their stories. So my wife and I went on this Saturday morning and we met some pretty incredible people. We also learned how to administer Naloxone, which you will hear in this episode.We met Colleen Christopherson-Cote, Board Chair for Station 20 West, University of Saskatchewan doctoral candidate, Maryellen Gibson, and  Assistant Professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Saskatchewan, Barbara Fornssler. My sincere thanks to them for sharing their passion for helping others and their community in this episode. You can listen and follow YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify or on the website. Please feel free to leave a 5-star review if you like you what you hear.

They gently reveal the hidden challenges and the powerful gifts each path offers, opening up a conversation that's both timeless and deeply relevant. Lian shares how awakening can happen spontaneously, profoundly reshaping lives, while Daniel draws from his extensive experience in various spiritual communities and traditions. Together, they explore the subtle nuances of spiritual growth, shadow integration, and the vital practice of staying present to this very moment. Their personal experiences effortlessly blend with mythic and traditional wisdom, highlighting the beautiful paradox of human growth. They also discuss practical tools like the five Buddha families, attachment styles, and why working with our shadows is essential. Daniel stresses how important personalised practice and honest community feedback are on this journey.

From overcoming loneliness to mastering energy management, they reveal the realities of building a career aligned with passion while juggling life's responsibilities.

Released to commemorate Frankfort's bicentennial, this historic bourbon is one of the earliest special releases of Blanton's and is unlike any other. We'll break down what makes this bottle so unique, how you can get in on the action, and the impact Give 270 continues to have in central Kentucky. Tune in as we talk bourbon, philanthropy, and the excitement of this can't-miss giveaway! SOURCE DOCUMENT:Give 270 to give away rare 1986 Blanton's Frankfort Bicentennial 200 bottleELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (March 5, 2025) – Give 270, an Elizabethtown nonprofit, has announced that a rare bottle of Blanton's: Frankfort Bicentennial 200 will be the grand prize given away during their latest 20/20 Unicorn raffle, set for Wednesday, April 2. Released in 1986 to celebrate the official bicentennial of Frankfort, Kentucky, this limited-edition Blanton's was bottled at exactly 86 proof. It holds the distinction of being the earliest special release of Blanton's. In this one-time release, a unique stopper was used, featuring the Kentucky State Capitol on one side and the State of Kentucky on the other, marking the only time the classic horse and jockey design was not used. Notably, the bottle and box are free of any "Blanton's" branding. Instead, the label reads, "The Bicentennial Distilling Company, Frankfort, Kentucky." The official “Frankfort 200 Bicentennial” logo is printed on the bottle itself with no paper label. This same logo was used throughout Frankfort for its official marketing material. This release marked the first time a Blanton's bottle did not feature a paper label. Give 270's 20/20 Unicorn raffles offer $20 tickets for two chances to win from a curated selection of 20 prizes from a specific distillery, including an exceptionally rare "unicorn" prize. In addition to the grand prize, each $20 ticket purchased in this raffle offers participants a chance to win from a curated assortment of other allocated and limited release Blanton's products, including an eight-bottle multi-color set spelling “BLANTON'S,” a seven-bottle multi-color set, a Blanton's Takara Gold Derby Edition from 1999 and more. During the raffle, prizes numbered two through 20 will be drawn initially, with all tickets returning to the tumbler for an opportunity to win the grand prize. The upcoming Unicorn raffle is set to take place live on Give 270's Facebook page and YouTube channel. All proceeds will benefit Give 270's work supporting worthwhile organizations and initiatives in central Kentucky. Tickets are available for purchase until 7 p.m. on the night of the drawing and there is no limit to the number of tickets purchased per individual."We are thrilled to offer this rare and unique Blanton's Frankfort Bicentennial 200 bottle as the grand prize in our latest 20/20 Unicorn raffle," said Eric Clemens, Board Chair of Give 270. “This bottle is a true unicorn, and we're excited to offer the chance to win it while supporting important local initiatives in central Kentucky."To purchase tickets and stay up-to-date on raffles and events hosted by Give 270, visit give270.org. Photos available here
