What does it take to lead a 100+ year-old travel company into its next chapter without losing the soul that made it legendary? In this episode of Distinguished, Dean Arun Upneja sits down with Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, President and CEO of Collette, a family-owned guided travel brand since 1918. As the first woman to lead the company in its century-long history, Jaclyn has earned her role through experience, starting as a tour guide and growing into leadership across marketing, product, and global strategy. In this conversation, Jaclyn talks about how Collette is thoughtfully integrating AI and data into a deeply human-centered brand. She also shares personal impact moments from her travels, ranging from a village in Peru to a powerful conversation in the Middle East, that have shaped her leadership philosophy. This episode will challenge you to think differently about how legacy and disruption are not opposites, and why curiosity may be the most essential leadership skill of all. Subscribe to Distinguished wherever you listen to podcasts and learn more at bu.edu/hospitality. To join the conversation, email sha@bu.edu. The Distinguished podcast is produced by the Boston University School of Hospitality Administration. Host: Arun Upneja, Dean Producer: Mara Littman Research: Lan Lu Editing: Isabella Laikin Sound Engineering: Andrew Hallock Email us at shadean@bu.eduThe “Distinguished” podcast is produced by Boston University School of Hospitality Administration. Host: Arun Upneja, DeanProducer: Mara Littman, Executive Director of Strategic Operations and Corporate RelationsResearch and Content Creation: Lu LanEditing: Isabella LaikinSound Engineer: Andrew HallockMusic: “Airport Lounge" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0

Michael Flomenhaft, Esq. is the principal of the Flomenhaft Law Firm PLLC in New York, New York. His practice focuses on trying cases for victims of traumatic brain injury and severe chronic pain. Renowned for his vast knowledge of neuroscience—including neuroimaging, neuropsychology, neurobiology, and the neuroanatomy of chronic pain—Mr. Flomenhaft serves on the board of advisors for the Center for Neuroscience and Law at Fordham Law School and was a director of neurolaw for the Program for Imaging and Cognitive Sciences at Columbia University. He is a graduate of Boston University School of Law and the Trial Lawyers College.In this second conversation with attorney Michael Flomenhaft, host Bethany Lewis dives deeper into the most challenging aspects of concussion recovery and litigation. They begin by tackling the difficult subject of malingering—why it is often alleged, how objective imaging and biographical evidence can refute it, and why standard MRIs are insufficient for visualizing white matter damage. Michael explains why traditional concussion return-to-play protocols are "gray matter protocols" applied to a white matter injury, leaving athletes at unrecognized risk. The discussion then shifts to chronic pain, its atrophic (brain-shrinking) effects, the role of specialists like osteopaths and craniosacral therapists for headache relief, and the powerful potential of neurofeedback in brain rehabilitation. This episode provides essential education for anyone navigating the legal, medical, and personal realities of persistent post-concussion symptoms.Resources Mentioned by Michael Flomenhaft:Website: www.brainjusticeny.comEmail: mflomenhaft@brainjusticeny.comPhone: 917-359-8023Previous Episode (Part 1): Episode 134  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU96lajw5oQ&t=240sImaging & Techniques referenced:Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (microbleeds)Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) – to visualize white matter injuryVolumetric MRI (to show brain atrophy over time)PET scansQuantitative Electroencephalography (qEEG)Neurofeedback (recommended as a top intervention for leveraging Connect with Bethany:Website: https://theconcussioncoach.com/Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" on the websiteFree Coaching Consultation: https://theconcussioncoach.com/free-consultation

Guests: Jacob Bor, SD, Associate Professor, Departments of Global Health and Epidemiology, Boston University School of Public Health; Michael E. Bird, MSW, MPH (Kewa Pueblo), Past President of the American Public Health Association. Description Dr. Jacob Bor and Michael Bird paint a chilling picture of how Native Americans are dying as early as residents of a third-world country like Bangladesh, rather than having the longevity benefits enjoyed by most of those living in the United States. You will learn how these startling death rates have not been recognized until recently, due to the misclassification of many Native Americans. The full scientific study featured in the program is: Bor J, Bird M, et al. Life expectancy of American Indian and Alaska Native persons and underreporting of mortality in vital statistics.

They discuss why standard ER scans (CAT scans, MRIs) often miss the white matter damage that causes persistent symptoms, and how this medical gap creates major hurdles in legal cases. Michael explains why a "normal" scan does not mean a normal brain, the progressive nature of brain atrophy, and the invisible emotional burdens of grief, shame, and fear that clients carry. He also introduces advanced imaging (DTI, NeuroQuant) and hopeful therapies like neurofeedback.Resources Mentioned by Michael FlomenhaftContact for Legal Help (New York/New Jersey & Nationwide Referrals):Email: mflomenhaft@brainjusticeny.comPhone: 917-359-8023Website: www.brainjusticeny.comKey Medical & Legal Concepts Discussed:DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging): Specialized MRI that evaluates white matter integrity (introduced into US jurisprudence by Mr. Flomenhaft in 2004).SWI (Susceptibility Weighted Imaging): MRI sequence sensitive to microscopic bleeds (hemosiderin).NeuroQuant: FDA-cleared computerized program to evaluate brain atrophy.Neurofeedback: Described as "going to the gym for your brain," a highly effective intervention for re-establishing white matter connectivity and recovering function.Connect with Bethany:Website: https://theconcussioncoach.com/Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" on the websiteFree Coaching Consultation: https://theconcussioncoach.com/free-consultation

Demetri Tsolakis, CEO of Xenia Greek Hospitality, reflected on a powerful, yet often forgotten idea: hospitality is not a transaction, but a human obligation. Drawing from the ancient Greek philosophy of philoxenia, Tsolakis described hospitality as the act of turning a stranger into a friend, an approach that shapes every decision across his restaurants. The discussion also explored how this philosophy extends behind the scenes. Tsolakis shared his people-first approach to leadership, emphasizing personality over résumés, storytelling over scripts, and empowerment over micromanagement. By investing in education, trust, and creative freedom, he enables teams to act with ownership and authenticity. As the interview made clear, hospitality done right is not only about speed, rules or efficiency; it is about emotion, connection, and care. In an increasingly transactional world, Tsolakis's perspective offers a compelling reminder that the most memorable experiences begin with how people are made to feel. Email us at shadean@bu.eduThe “Distinguished” podcast is produced by Boston University School of Hospitality Administration. Host: Arun Upneja, DeanProducer: Mara Littman, Executive Director of Strategic Operations and Corporate RelationsResearch: Lu LanEditing: Isabella LaikinSound Engineer: Andrew HallockMusic: “Airport Lounge" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0

You hit every target. You show up for everyone. You're the person others rely on. But underneath the achievement, there's a quiet exhaustion you can't explain. What if the pattern draining your energy isn't a flaw, but a brilliant childhood survival strategy that's long past its expiration date?   EPISODE OVERVIEW: In this episode, Larry Olsen sits down with Beatriz Victoria Albina, a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and author of End Emotional Outsourcing: How to Overcome Your Codependent, Perfectionist, and People-Pleasing Habits.  Beatriz coined the term 'emotional outsourcing' to describe the deeply conditioned habit of seeking safety, validation, and worth outside of ourselves. In this powerful conversation, she breaks down how codependency, perfectionism, and people pleasing are actually brilliant childhood survival strategies that become leadership liabilities. This is science-backed, body-based work that will change how you relate to yourself and others.

Season 4 of A Friend for the Long Haul - A Long Covid Podcast is here! We're starting where it all begins: with each other.CW: in this episode, we do discuss depression, medical trauma, suicidal ideation, and suicide. In this first episode of the new season, I sit down with Kathleen Banks, a health systems researcher and Long Covid patient, for a conversation about something none of us planned for: finding our biggest cheerleaders and chosen family in our pockets.We talk about "pocket friends," - what Kathleen calls the people living in your phone who already know how you feel, who you can reach out to when a symptom scares you at 2am and, who don't need an explanation if you have to cancel a FaceTime. We explore how so many of us arrived on social media not necessarily looking for friends, but for validation, and found so much in each other. We also get into the real cost of being sick in America. It's not just co-pays and premiums, but the fancy expensive bandages you need because of MCAS, and the $77 supplements that you go without because you have to pay your phone bill so you don't lose access to your lifelines. We also discuss community care: what it looks like when you can just send someone money, no questions asked, because you know what it is to need it, or when strangers send your kids more birthday gifts than their grandparents do.Kathleen also shares her work training public health researchers in trauma-informed methods for interviewing Long Covid patients and why she used episodes of this very podcast to supplement her work. We talk about disability justice, the particular grief of Long Covid Awareness Month, and what it means to still be here, building something remarkable out of what's left.Oh, and somewhere in the middle of that, we talk about moss. I'm girl moss, not a girl boss.This is the first episode of my Long Covid Awareness Week series. Season 4 is about community - the ways we've been discarded, and about what we've built for each other anyway. We're still here because of us. My call for listener feedback on community was so well-heeded that this "episode" is being split into several parts that will all be released this week. More information about Kathleen, my beloved wife:Kathleen Banks is a health systems researcher with expertise on patient-physician relationships; systems thinking; patient advocacy; and dignity in healthcare. She specializes in the translation of evidence, high-level policies, and systems decisions at the point of care. Ms. Banks has worked with policymakers and officials from the grassroots to the global level, and uses that experience to bridge understanding on how to design and implement effective programs and policies .Ms. Banks is currently finishing her Doctor of Public Health degree at Boston University School of Public Health. Her research focuses on access to patient-centered healthcare for people living with Long COVID. Ms. Banks has been a member of the Patient-Led Research Collaborative since 2024.You can listen to the Long Covid Theme Songs Playlist on Spotify. It's full of songs from people who have joined me on the podcast. Each song represents some aspects of that guest's long covid experience. You can find me on Instagram, TikTok, and on my Substack, called Haulin' Ass.A Friend for the Long Haul is produced by a disabled Long Covid patient.

Alan Rozenshtein, research director at Lawfare, spoke with Woodrow Hartzog, the Andrew R. Randall Professor of Law at Boston University School of Law, and Jessica Silbey, Professor of Law and Honorable Frank R. Kenison Distinguished Scholar in Law at Boston University School of Law, about their new paper "How AI Destroys Institutions," which argues that AI systems threaten to erode the civic institutions that organize democratic society. The conversation covered the sociological concept of institutions and why they differ from organizations; the idea of technological affordances from science and technology studies; how AI undermines human expertise through both accuracy and inaccuracy; the cognitive offloading problem and whether AI-driven skill atrophy differs from past technological transitions; whether AI-generated decisions can satisfy the legitimacy requirements of the rule of law; the role of reason-giving, contestation, and political accountability in legal institutions; the tension between the paper's sweeping diagnosis and its more incremental prescriptions; and the case for bespoke, institution-specific AI tools over general-purpose deployment.

Just because we're done caring about an outbreak doesn't mean the outbreak is done with us.Over the last year, we have watched something unsettling happen in plain sight. The quiet, active dismantling of the systems built to catch outbreaks early, coordinate a response, and keep hospitals and communities from getting overwhelmed.Websites have been scrubbed, teams have been hollowed out. Early warning signals have gone silent, and at the exact same time, diseases that many of us haven't thought about since childhood, like measles, are being let back into the present, which really leaves a lot of people with the same question, said a little differently than usual.If the safety net is being shredded, what do we do now? My returning guest today is Dr. Nahid Bhadelia. Dr. Bhadelia is the Founding Director of the BU Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases, a board-certified infectious diseases physician, and an associate professor at the Boston University School of Medicine.She served as the senior policy advisor for Global COVID-19 Response on the White House COVID-19 response team in 2022-2023, where she coordinated the US global vaccine donation programs and helped lead Project Next Gen, a $5 billion effort to develop next-generation vaccines and treatments for a pandemic prone coronaviruses.Dr. Bhadelia also served as interim testing coordinator for the White House Impacts Response Team, and she's the founding director and co-founder of BEACON, an open-source outbreak surveillance program.Today, we're gonna try to make sense of what's being dismantled, what threats don't wait for politics to catch up, what's starting to fill the gaps and most importantly, what you can do right now to protect yourself, your family, and to help rebuild the public health infrastructure we all rely on whether we have to think about it or not.-----------Have feedback?

True wellness isn't about chasing symptoms—it's about understanding the internal communication systems that allow the body to repair, adapt, and thrive. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones is joined by Dr. Kathleen O'Neil-Smith, a Harvard-trained physician and pioneer in peptide therapy, to explore how peptides, mitochondria, and personalized medicine work together to support resilient, long-term health.As a founding board member of the International Peptide Society, Dr. Kathleen explains how small signaling proteins orchestrate large-scale healing by influencing cellular communication, inflammation, metabolic efficiency, and recovery. The conversation highlights why mitochondrial health sits at the foundation of longevity and how modern medicine often overlooks the body's innate capacity to heal.Moving beyond trends and surface-level protocols, Dr. Kathleen shares how peptide therapy integrates with hormones, gut health, nervous system balance, and lifestyle to create durable clinical outcomes. They also discuss why one-size-fits-all medicine consistently fails patients, and how clinicians can think more strategically about restoring resilience rather than suppressing symptoms.

Some people live more than a hundred years with no health problems and very little cognitive decline.  How come?  While healthy lifestyles certainly play a part in healthy aging, these "centenarians" share a number of special biological attributes.  Furthermore, these attributes, along with attaining an age of 100 or greater, show a strong genetic component.  Dr. Stacy Andersen of the Boston University School of Medicine has been studying these centenarians and the factors that are associated with not only their attaining an advanced age, but also doing so with no history of major physical or mental health problems.  In her interview, Dr. Andersen discusses what she and her colleagues have discovered about this unusual group of older people.    Key Takeaways: Centenarians are people who have reached 100 years of age, while "supercentenarians" are 110 and older. Recent studies of these groups of adults reveal that during their lives, they have "escaped" diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular problems, dementia, and diabetes that cause earlier mortality among adults born at the same time. Dr. Andersen discusses her work on the genetic bases for being an "escaper", as well as the lifestyle and personality characteristics they have in common.   "The older you get, the healthier you've been." —  Dr. Stacy Andersen   Connect with Dr. Stacy Andersen: BUMC Bio: profiles.bu.edu/Stacy.Andersen     Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

What are the things you see going on in the world that bring you lamentation with a need to bring them to God? In this episode, Jeff and Andy discuss:  Preparing for your calling in the world, not just in a Christian community. The mysterious importance of authority and vulnerability. Taking concentrated risk on something that can bear fruit. Money is both nothingness and liquid power.    Key Takeaways: You don't have to keep doing the same job forever, but you do need to keep moving forward and keep progressing. It's damaging for the development of young people not to see their parents continuing to do things that put them in a place where they have to trust God. God rarely wastes anything. It is likely the first part of your story is going to inform the next, but it is not always going to be linear or how you expect. Giving is a kind of linchpin, because it is a release of control that is unlike any other use of money.    "You are called at every stage of your life to be taking on something that places you in a radical sense of dependence on God and, ideally, on some other people whom you have come to believe God has given you to go on this adventure with." —  Andy Crouch   Episode References:  You Cannot Serve God & Mammon with Andy Crouch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w4TQd_c85I   About Andy Crouch: Andy Crouch is a partner for theology and culture at Praxis, a venture-building ecosystem advancing redemptive entrepreneurship.

Your fluoride toothpaste and antiseptic mouthwash may be sabotaging your cardiovascular health and canceling out the benefits of your daily workout. In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Bryan to uncover how nitric oxide deficiency drives high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, insulin resistance, and even Alzheimer's disease. Nathan explains why 50% of men on Viagra don't respond with better erections, how mouthwash kills the bacteria your body needs to produce nitric oxide, and why heavy metals scavenge this critical molecule before it can reach your blood vessels.  We explore practical solutions such as using nitric oxide lozenges, reducing exposure to harmful substances, and supporting the oral microbiome to restore your body's natural production.   "Without nitric oxide, your body cannot heal. It's not going to get adequate blood flow, you're going to experience runaway inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction." ~ Nathan Bryan   In This Episode: - Nitric oxide and its importance for our health - Nitric oxide and erectile dysfunction - Exercise and bacteria for nitric oxide production - Oral microbiome and dangers in your mouthwash - Signs and consequences of low nitric oxide - Age-related decline in nitric oxide production - Heavy metals and toxins that scavenge nitric oxide - How to restore nitric oxide - Nitric oxide lozenges and skin care solutions - The beet product myth debunked - High blood pressure medication limitations - Who needs nitric oxide supplementation?   Products & Resources Mentioned: N1O1 Nitric Oxide Lozenges: Available at https://n101.com  N1O1 Nitric Oxide Skincare Serum: Perfect for youthful skin maintenance at https://n101.com  Puori Grass Fed Whey Protein: Use code WENDY at http://Puori.com/wendy for 32% off, plus a free shaker with a subscription.

Dr. Robert Ganung, chaplain and teacher at Taft School, joins Rick to explore how deep contemplative practice can ground a life of service, justice, and education. Drawing from Celtic Christianity, Buddhism, Vedanta, and the civil rights tradition, Robert shares how daily meditation, interspiritual study, and a sense of the sacred in all beings inform his work with students and his view of a world in crisis yet ripe for awakening. They discuss non-duality and interconnection, inner practice as fuel for action, the impact of mystical experiences, near-death research, and living with love and courage amid social and planetary upheaval. The Rev. Dr. Robert Ganung is an ordained minister, educator, and school chaplain whose life and work have been shaped by a deep engagement with both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. He holds a doctorate from the Boston University School of Theology, where his dissertation explored how the mindfulness and meditation practices taught by the Vietnamese Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh can enrich and nourish the spiritual lives of Christians. That work grew out of years of personal practice and study, including retreats with Thich Nhat Hanh in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as a lifelong interest in contemplative spirituality. For more than four decades, Dr. Ganung has served at the intersection of education, ministry, and social justice. He is currently Chaplain at The Taft School in Connecticut, where he also teaches philosophy, ethics, world religions, and global studies, and where he has brought an extraordinary range of voices into the community—among them Cornel West, Bill McKibben, Ibram X. Kendi, Angela Davis, Tibetan monks, and many others addressing spirituality, human rights, environmental justice, and the moral challenges of our time. Earlier in his career, he served as chaplain and teacher at Milton Academy, Punahou School in Hawai‘i, and Cardigan Mountain School. During these years, he also served as a minister in the United Methodist and United Church of Christ congregations in New England and Hawai‘i. Dr. Ganung's spiritual formation has been deeply influenced by the Christian mystical tradition—figures such as Howard Thurman, Bede Griffiths, Richard Rohr, & John O'Donohue—as well as by Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, and interfaith dialogue. Introduced to Hindu philosophy and Sufism as an undergraduate philosophy major at Boston University, he later engaged Siddha Yoga and Advaita teachings, while continuing to explore how contemplative practice leads naturally toward nonviolence, compassion, and justice in the world. Discussion of this interview in the BatGap Community Facebook Group, Interview recorded February 7, 2026

This week we explore the dual impact of cannabis legalisation and rescheduling—focusing on both the massive financial implications for the industry and emerging scientific research on health benefits.The $2 Billion Tax Windfall The program leads with a deep dive into the potential rescheduling of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act. Experts estimate that rescheduling could result in a $2.3 billion tax break, allowing businesses to finally show healthy profit margins, attract traditional investors, and move away from high-risk private capital.Cannabis as a Tool in the Opioid Crisis The discussion then shifts to a significant study from the Boston University School of Public Health. Research indicates that in states where adult-use cannabis is legal, daily opioid use among people who inject drugs fell by 9 to 11 percentage points.Brain Benefits for Older Adults Finally, the episode highlights surprising new research from the University of Colorado regarding cannabis use in adults over 40. Contrary to long-standing stereotypes of cognitive decline, the study of over 26,000 participants found that moderate cannabis use—often for sleep or chronic pain—was associated with larger brain volumes in certain regions and better cognitive function (including improved processing speed and attention).Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We are the dreams of our ancestors; we are their hopes for the future. But sometimes their trauma is transmitted to us through nightmares. Today’s guest, Dream Journal regular Linda Schiller, will be talking about how to heal that intergenerational pain and focus on the gifts of ancestral connection. Linda talks about her own ancestors and how her grandfather, who she called Grandpa Joey, fled Kiev with his family at age of three because of the pogroms and how making borscht soup always helped her feel more connected to that side of her family. We talk about the trauma that we inherit from our ancestors but also the caring and resilience. Linda also talks about synchronicity, public trauma vs private trauma, drawing up a family tree, and dream incubation. After the break, we explore a dream of Katherine’s about doing numerical computations like she used to during her NASA career and about why she might be having this dream now over 20 years after leaving that position.

Part 1:We talk with Sophia A. McClennen, Professor of International Affairs and Comparative Literature at Penn State University.We discuss how we all should respond to the lies and propaganda that colors what he hear and see in the news and through social media posts that pretend to be news. Debunking is not enough, telling the truth should be swift and emphatic. Should be depend on the 'normal' institutions to protect us? What if those institutions (Congress, SCOTUS, law enforcement agencies) are useless? Are we complicit if we just give up?Part 2:Jonathan Feingold, Professor at Boston University School of Law, and Arnie chat about Ta-Nehisi Coate's recent essay and observation that “Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact—the culture war is an actual war.” The actual war manifests physically in ICE, the now $85 billion entity Trump is deploying to racially profile, terrorize and now execute people across the United States. The actual war is also the anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, and anti-LGBTQ bigotry that animates the right side of America's so-called “culture ways.” This hateful rhetoric and fear mongering, which Steven Miller, Charlie Kirk, JD Vance and others have sought to mainstream, serves a purpose in ICE's war on our communities: to dehumanize and legitimize violence against those deemed unfit for the Homeland. WNHNFM.ORG  productionMusic: "That's how every empire falls"  John Prine, 2015

In a world obsessed with speed, optimization, certainty, and AI-driven answers, this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times offers a necessary pause. Chris Schembra sits down with Eric Stine, CEO of Sitecore, for a deeply human conversation about leadership, belonging, gratitude, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. This is not a tactical episode about growth metrics or technology stacks—it's an exploration of what it means to lead, live, and connect in a time when instinct is being outsourced and humanity is at risk of being optimized away.Eric reflects on a 25-year career across some of the world's most influential enterprise technology companies, but reframes success through a different lens. Rather than crediting restraint or perfection, he points to saying yes as the defining strategy of his life, yes to unfamiliar roles, yes to reinvention, yes to creativity, fatherhood, philanthropy, and Broadway. Along the way, he opens up about imposter syndrome, those quiet moments of doubt that surface even at the highest levels of leadership, and why authenticity—not certainty—is what ultimately creates trust and psychological safety for teams.The conversation reaches back to Eric's eighth-grade years, when he felt like an outsider searching for his people. Theater became the place where he learned that difference wasn't something to hide, but something to bring forward, a lesson that continues to shape how he builds culture today. That theme of belonging becomes especially resonant in today's age of fragmentation and loneliness, where many people feel disconnected not because they lack opportunity, but because they lack spaces where they can show up fully as themselves.Midway through the episode, Eric answers the signature gratitude question, offering heartfelt thanks to his father, Mark, whose belief in living authentically influenced everything from Eric's leadership philosophy to a Tony Award win on Father's Day. The moment grounds the conversation in gratitude, not as sentiment, but as a force that shapes identity, values, and legacy across generations.This episode is especially important now because it confronts a growing cultural tension: while AI can deliver answers at unprecedented speed, it cannot deliver wisdom, belonging, or meaning. Eric draws a clear distinction between systems of record and systems of engagement, arguing that the future belongs to leaders and organizations that pair data with instinct, scale with empathy, and efficiency with humanity. In an era where people are burning out not just from work, but from hiding who they are, this conversation offers a different model, one rooted in community, peer-driven recognition, and shared accountability rather than control.Ultimately, The Power of Saying Yes is a reminder that culture cannot be engineered from the top down and growth cannot be achieved through optimization alone. Culture comes from community. Belonging comes from permission. And the most meaningful paths in life are rarely the safest ones. This episode invites listeners to slow down, embrace impermanence, and choose the more interesting path, not because it's easy, but because it's human.10 Key TakeawaysSaying yes creates momentum.Progress, growth, and meaning often come from leaning in before you feel ready—not from waiting for certainty. Authenticity is a leadership advantage, not a liability.When leaders model vulnerability, they unlock psychological safety and better performance across teams. Imposter syndrome doesn't disappear—it becomes a compass.Doubt is often a signal that you're stretching into something meaningful. Finding “your people” changes everything.Belonging fuels confidence, creativity, and resilience—whether in theater, business, or family. Gratitude is a strategic tool, not a soft one.Recognizing people for their impact on others builds trust, loyalty, and culture at scale. Culture cannot be built top-down.Leaders can only create the conditions; community does the building. AI needs humans in the loop.Data delivers insight, but instinct and empathy deliver relevance. Impermanence creates meaning.Moments matter more when we know they won't last—whether on stage, at work, or around the dinner table. Accountability is empowering when framed as ownership.We don't work in isolation—we work in ecosystems where shared responsibility drives excellence. The best life is an AND life, not an OR life.Passion and profit. Speed and care. Technology and humanity. Both can be true.Eric Stine BioEric Stine is the Chief Executive Officer of Sitecore, driving the company's vision and strategy to unlock business value for clients by empowering them to create compelling digital experiences.

Nitric oxide touches nearly every system that keeps us alive, yet it's one of the first things to decline with age.  In this episode, I sit down with my friend Dr. Nathan Bryan to uncover how low nitric oxide affects blood pressure, circulation, metabolism, sexual performance, and even the microbiome on your skin and in your mouth. We get real about the everyday habits silently blocking this molecule, like mouthwash, fluoride, antacids, sugar, and an over-sterilized environment. We also talk about what restoring nitric oxide can do for your energy, clarity, stamina, and long-term health.   "There's only two people in the world who need nitric oxide. There's the people who are sick and wanna get well, and there's the people who are well and don't wanna get sick." ~ Dr. Nathan Bryan   In This Episode: - What is nitric oxide? - Why Viagra doesn't work for 50% of men - Ways to increase nitric oxide - Symptoms of nitric oxide deficiency - The age related decline in nitric oxide production - How heavy metals and toxins scavenge nitric oxide - How to naturally restore nitric oxide - Dr. Bryan's nitric oxide lozenge and skincare - The problem with beets, and oxalates in vegetables  - How often to take nitric oxide lozenge   Products & Resources Mentioned: N1O1 Nitric Oxide Supplements: Lower pressure, sharper energy, youthful glow.

Why estate planning and business succession fail most often has nothing to do with legal documents. It comes down to communication, valuation, and timing. In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, we explore the intersection of estate planning, business succession, and valuation with private client attorney Brian Balduzzi. Brian explains why estate planning is not just for the ultra-wealthy. Every business owner needs core documents in place to protect their family and business: wills, medical and financial powers of attorney, and a plan for what happens to their company. We dig into: How business valuation fits into estate and succession planning When to assemble the right advisor team and who should be at the table The dangers of ignoring valuation for illiquid assets Why failing to communicate plans derails succession efforts How gifting strategies, charitable giving, and legacy intentions shape outcomes Brian also touches on the emotional and human aspects of planning: chosen family considerations, stewardship of wealth, and why planning during life often creates better results than leaving everything to be sorted out later. If you're a business owner, this conversation offers practical steps to start protecting your company and your family today. #EstatePlanning #ProtectYourAssets #FuturePlanning #TaxStrategy #BusinessValuation #FamilyWealth #LifeGoals #LegacyPlanning ----more---- About Our Guest: Brian M.

What do you really want the second half of your life to look like?  Being a doormat for others, then resenting it? Saying yes, when you really mean no? Doing more tasks or more work, taking responsibility for everything, and feeling overwhelmed in your life?  This can be how so many of us in midlife feel, but I'm here to tell you there IS another way.  In this episode, I sit down with expert Beatriz Albina to talk about a challenge so many women face but can't always name—patterns of overgiving, perfectionism, and the ultimate people-pleasing trap.  Beatriz introduces the concept of emotional outsourcing and how it quietly drives these behaviors, leaving us feeling stuck and drained.  Together, we discuss how reframing your mindset is a powerful tool for reclaiming your emotional well-being. Plus, Beatriz gives us a sneak peek into her brand-new book, End Emotional Outsourcing—a guide to finding freedom, balance, and true self-connection. Tune in here to reignite joy in your life, and find the inner peace you've been craving for years!  Beatriz Albina Beatriz (Béa) Albina, NP, MPH, SEP (she/her) is a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, and author of the book "End Emotional Outsourcing: a Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits". She's dedicated to helping people socialized as women reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and rewire their minds to break free from codependency, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. Béa hosts the Feminist Wellness Podcast, and holds a Master's degree in Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health and a BA in Latin American Studies from Oberlin College. IN THIS EPISODE What is emotional outsourcing, and how can it impact women?  Getting back to the basics for our emotional needs  How our emotions lie in our nervous system– not just our minds   Calming techniques you can do in 5 seconds, anytime, anywhere Detaching from labels like ‘co-dependent' and ‘perfectionist'  How to stay regulated while also setting boundaries  Why reframing your mindset is so important for healing  All about Beatriz's book: End Emotional Outsourcing  QUOTES “This is what happens when we get activated or triggered in our nervous system. When we start being mean to ourselves, when we ignore our impulses, when we project, when we take things personally, when we get offended, all these things– our nervous system is in a different time and place.”  “That's the self-worth work.
