Lower back pain can feel like a life sentence, but sometimes the fix is so basic it's easy to ignore: water.We walk through why dehydration can show up as stiffness, spasms, and aching in your low back, and how spinal discs depend on steady fluid intake to stay resilient. If you've tried stretching, mobility work, or “perfect posture” and you're still hurting, this conversation gives you a simple starting point you can test today.From there, we zoom out into the bigger theme I come back to again and again as a health, sleep, and stress management coach: most recurring problems don't need a smarter hack, they need better basics. We apply the same “foundations first” approach to relationships and business.Finally, I share the 3 nutrition coaching questions I use before any advanced diet plan or supplement: for long-term health, longevity and ideal body weight for life without diets.If this helps, subscribe, share it with someone dealing with back pain, and leave a review so more people find the basics that work.What's the one foundation you know you've been skipping?https://calendly.com/angelashurina/executive-momentum-360Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

**Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1219 Recap**   **Guests:** Shaun Yurtkuran (Hour 1 & 2) and Andrew Gasser (Hour 2) ### Mark Fuhrman's Passing & OJ Simpson Trial Reflections Clay opened by discussing the passing of Mark Fuhrman, the former LAPD detective best known for his role in the O.J. Simpson trial. He described Fuhrman as one of the most iconic and infamous figures in modern pop culture history. Shaun, who has studied the case extensively, noted that prosecutors were aware of Fuhrman's background issues before calling him as a witness. He pointed out that Chris Darden reportedly resisted using Fuhrman, but Marcia Clark made the final decision to call him. Both hosts agreed the prosecution made critical strategic errors, including allowing O.J. Simpson to try on the glove in court. Clay connected the discussion to broader race relations in America. He shared his personal experiences growing up in South Jackson during the 1980s in a diverse neighborhood, attending public schools, and not encountering overt racism in his daily life. He argued that the very public celebrations by segments of the Black community following O.J.'s acquittal damaged race relations and have not aged well over time. Clay drew a distinction between individual Black people and what he called “Black culture rot.” ### Jackson Bribery Trial – The “Free the Land Three” Clay and Shaun devoted significant time to the federal bribery case involving Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, and Councilman Aaron Banks, whom Clay referred to as the “Free the Land Three.” - **Jody Owens' defense**: Entrapment. He claims undercover agents took advantage of his alcoholism by getting him drunk during meetings (referencing White Claws and Truly in a photo included in court filings). - **Chokwe Antar Lumumba's defense**: The conduct did not constitute bribery or an official act but was instead standard campaign contributions used to build political influence — behavior common among politicians. - **Marvay Smith**: The Jackson businessman who pleaded guilty early and is cooperating with prosecutors. Court documents referenced an allegation that Owens suggested running license plates on vehicles associated with the undercover operation, expecting them to trace back to the FBI. - **Aaron Banks**: Clay and Shaun discussed the possibility that Banks may ultimately cooperate with the government, given the lighter charges he faces and the potential for a reduced sentence through substantial assistance. Shaun broke down the legal standards for an entrapment defense, noting that it requires both government inducement and a lack of predisposition on the defendant's part. He argued Jody's active participation throughout the scheme makes a successful entrapment claim difficult. Both hosts described the overall operation as poorly executed and amateurish for individuals in such prominent positions. Clay predicted that if Lumumba were to flip and cooperate, it would dramatically increase pressure on Jody to accept a plea deal. ### Hilton Hotel on County Line Road Up for Sale Clay reported that the Hilton hotel on County Line Road is currently up for auction with a starting bid of $1.8 million. He noted the property remains open and operational. The conversation turned to the long-term decline of County Line Road, which was once a major commercial and traffic corridor but has seen significantly reduced activity in recent years. Shaun observed how dramatically the area has changed and referenced an investor who has acquired multiple downtown Jackson buildings at very low prices in recent years. They also discussed ongoing challenges with other downtown properties damaged by past weather events. ### Crime, Security & Business Challenges in Jackson Clay discussed conversations with a bar owner in the North Jackson area regarding recent shootings in a shared parking lot, including one incident that resulted in the death of a young woman who had recently graduated high school during a post-graduation party. Key points raised: - Most of the violence has occurred **outside** the bars in parking lot areas after patrons leave the premises. - The new Jackson Police Chief has reportedly pushed for bars and nightclubs to hire additional private security or off-duty officers at the businesses' own expense. - Open-container policies have contributed to problems, with some patrons assuming they can drink in parking lots. - Clay argued that businesses already pay taxes and are entitled to basic police services, including proactive presence in known problem areas. He contrasted this with the visible success of Capitol Police presence in the Belhaven and Fondren districts, where it has supported revitalization. - Off-duty officer details carry significant costs, and requiring multiple officers for larger lots places a heavy financial burden on small business owners. - Both Clay and Andrew emphasized that Jackson is in an “enforcement phase” and criticized the idea of additional studies on the root causes of crime while immediate enforcement remains insufficient. ### Disturbing Murder Statistics Clay presented FBI-derived statistics from 2021 showing stark disparities in murder offending rates by race and age group: - Black males ages 15–24: 207.4 murders per 100,000 - Black males ages 5–14: 4.9 per 100,000 - White males ages 15–64: 5.2 per 100,000 He highlighted that Black children ages 5–14 commit murders at a rate roughly comparable to White males ages 15–64. Black females in several age brackets also showed higher rates than White males. Clay described the numbers as deeply concerning and attributed the patterns primarily to cultural factors, including family breakdown and the absence of strong moral foundations. Andrew agreed the data reflects serious cultural problems that require honest internal examination within affected communities. ### Civil Rights Education & Upcoming Protests Clay argued that the way civil rights history is currently taught in schools has created a built-in excuse for failure and conditioned young people to view themselves as perpetual victims. He suggested the material should remain available for independent study but questioned its prominent role in K-12 education, claiming it often fuels grievance rather than preparing students for real-world accountability. He referenced organized efforts promoting a “Day of Action” protest regarding recent Supreme Court rulings on voting maps, framing it as part of ongoing narratives around voter suppression

Host Aileen Miziolek speaks with Gerry Meyer about navigating the complexities of compensation in family enterprises through the lens of the three-circle model. Their conversation explores the tension between fairness and equality, the importance of role-based pay and formal policies, and how remuneration differs across the business, ownership and family systems.   All views, information, and opinions expressed during this podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Family Enterprise Canada.   Guest bio Gerry has over 40 years of experience in all aspects of business strategy, organizational culture and design, business transition/change management, and Human Resources, as both a practitioner and an advisor, with the last 20 years focused exclusively on family enterprises. He provides advisory services to family enterprises in Canada and the U.S. to founding, active, and next-generation families and non-family executives, covering family, ownership/shareholder and business governance, family dynamics and communication, family vision and values, family constitutions, next-generation development for succession/continuity planning, and optimizing existing family and organizational culture and structures.   You can learn more about Gerry Meyer on LinkedIn and on the Blackwood Family Enterprise website.   Key Takeaways [0:23] Aileen Miziolek welcomes Gerry Meyer and launches the episode by asking him to start the conversation with his perspective on compensation within the lens of the three circles model.   [2:07] Gerry acknowledges that compensation is a very complex and delicate subject and that the three circles model can effectively structure the conversation.   [3:02] Gerry touches on how the business circle offers the first way to look at the three components of compensation for family members as well as outside parties.   [7:41] The equal versus fair perception in family dynamics often drives compensation decisions, and this can lead to difficult outcomes.   [9:47] Gerry shares an example from his practice that illustrates the trap of equal remuneration.   [12:44] Gerry's bias: pay for the role. He offers a few resources to pinpoint the fair market value of a role.   [15:06] Formality is your friend. This saying of Gerry's enables enterprise decisions to remain policy-driven as opposed to people-driven.   [16:20] The ownership circle offers a different kind of conversation when it comes to remuneration for people who are active in multiple roles.   [21:22] Gerry shares an example of multiple-tier remuneration and dividend allocation from his own practice.   [24:11] When it comes to the family circle, Gerry prefers to talk about remuneration versus compensation. He explains why.   [26:45] Gerry's thoughts on family counsel member remuneration, knowing that every family is different, and what works in one might not work in another.   [29:49] Gerry will be speaking at Symposium 2026 in Vancouver, where he will discuss managing family member performance.   [30:54] Aileen Miziolek thanks Gerry Meyer for sharing so much of his knowledge and invites listeners to sign up for Symposium, which will be held May 25‒27 in Vancouver, BC.   If you enjoyed today's episode, you can subscribe to Let's Talk Family Enterprise on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other podcast apps.

#222 - When was the last time you let yourself dream without limits, not as a cute idea, but as a serious practice that could change your life? I sit down with Jason VanDevere, an entrepreneur, planner creator, and author of Dream Driven, to talk about what happens when you walk away from the “sure thing” and build a life that actually fits.Jason grew up in Akron, Ohio in a big family with a cow farm and a car dealership legacy. After college he entered the dealership track with a clear path to long-term success, but the deeper he went, the clearer it became that he needed something else. We unpack how a simple search for better time management and goal setting tools turned into a planner business, and why the early years felt brutal even while the product was selling.We go beyond tactics into mindset and meaning. Jason opens up about fear of failure, the rush of doing too much, and the surprising idea that we can get addicted to stress and inadequacy. From there, the conversation moves into faith and Catholic spirituality, daily prayer and journaling, and the power of silent retreats for clarity. We also break down his “dream-driven” approach to entrepreneurship, why focus beats endless options, and how family boundaries reshaped his definition of success.If you're chasing goals but feel stuck in survival mode, hit play, then share this with a friend who needs a spark.

Have you ever felt that deep longing to step away from your practice—not for a long weekend or a quick vacation, but for a real pause? A stretch of time where you can rest, reset, and reconnect with yourself outside of the constant giving that comes with this work? That's exactly what Maegan Megginson and I explore in today's episode. Why Sabbaticals Matter—Beyond “Time Off” Most of us only hear the word sabbatical in academic circles, but as Maegan reminds us, its root is “Sabbath”—rest. Somewhere along the way, rest became another productivity tool, something to “use well” rather than simply experience. As therapists and practice owners, we need something different. A true sabbatical isn't for catching up on house projects or writing endless to-do lists—it's about completely reimagining your relationship with time, worth, and spaciousness. Transforming Your Relationship with Time: The Power of Sabbaticals for Therapists (00:06:57) The 4 Types of Sabbaticals for Small Business Owners (00:12:12) Healing & Self-Discovery During Time Away (00:17:43) Productivity Culture and Its Roots (00:20:38) Business Challenges to Taking a Sabbatical (00:25:18) Adjusting Business Systems to Integrate a Transformative Experience (00:29:45) Modeling Self-Care for Others (00:35:24) Collective Sabbatical for Conscious Shifts (00:36:45) Sabbatical Journey and Integration (00:40:27) Sabbatical School & Financial Freedom Why This Feels So Hard—And So Important Why This Feels So Hard—And So Important I know the fears that come up, because I've had them too: “My practice will fall apart.” “Clients will leave.” “I can't afford a break.” “People will judge me.” But Maegan and I both believe this wholeheartedly: your business can handle you stepping away for four weeks—and you can handle it too. Preparing your practice for your absence actually builds strength and resilience into your systems. And in truth, four weeks is a tiny blip in your clients' lives. For many of them, it may even model something deeply healing. Sabbaticals as an Act of Rebellion Stepping back isn't indulgent—it's radical. It pushes against the cultural message that your worth depends on your output. It shows your clients, your colleagues, your kids, and the people who look up to you that it's possible to reclaim time, energy, and humanity in a world that constantly asks for more. Your rest creates ripple effects. When you care for yourself, you give others permission to imagine a different way too. This conversation reminded me just how essential meaningful time away is—not only for our health and longevity, but for the stability of our businesses and the well-being of the communities we support. If you're feeling stretched thin, burnt out, or disconnected from yourself, this might be the moment to gently ask: What do I truly need right now? And… What might become possible if I gave myself four full weeks to breathe? Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills? Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

Unlocking High-Performance Leadership: Lessons from John Murphy on Mindful Management and Business TransformationIn this episode, host Josh Elledge speaks with John Murphy, founder of Venture Management Consultants, Inc. and author of more than 20 books including Miracle Minded Manager. Their conversation explores the intersection of nature, spirituality, process improvement, and the art of simplifying leadership in today's complex business environment. This blog distills the most powerful ideas from their discussion, giving leaders actionable takeaways to elevate performance, mindset, and organizational culture.Leadership Insights That Transform Teams and OrganizationsJohn Murphy's leadership philosophy is grounded in deep observation of nature and the role simplicity plays in high performance. He explains that nature operates without stress or overthinking—trees grow, rivers flow, and ecosystems adapt effortlessly—and leaders can benefit by mirroring this same natural alignment. When leaders learn to be fully present rather than pressured, they unlock clarity, creativity, and more intuitive decision-making that supports healthier teams and stronger business results.Another major topic John explores is the power of Kaizen events—intensive improvement workshops that rapidly redesign business processes within days rather than months. These transformation sprints dismantle silos, build cross-functional collaboration, and demonstrate what's possible when teams are given focus, data, and permission to fix what's broken. The speed and sustainability of Kaizen outcomes often reignite organizational momentum and help leaders rediscover the power of disciplined simplicity.John also emphasizes mindful leadership, teaching leaders to shift from resistance to acceptance when confronting uncertainty or change. Instead of reacting from fear, mindful leaders recognize what is, examine the root causes of problems, and respond with clarity. This is paired with his advocacy for the art of subtraction—removing unnecessary steps, roles, tools, or habits that drain energy. By simplifying rather than adding more complexity, organizations experience greater flow, higher productivity, and dramatically improved morale.About John MurphyJohn Murphy is a renowned leadership consultant, speaker, and author with over 20 published books focused on business transformation, mindfulness, and high-performance leadership. His teachings combine spiritual principles, lean methodologies, and decades of executive coaching experience.

We have passed the initial hype stage — AI exists in many organizations as an established business competency and is now being deployed in detail to solve specific business problems.So what current issues should companies be focusing on? What challenges are organizations facing as AI moves past the innovation phase of the technology life cycle and into mainstream adoption?In this Keynote, Professor Dirk Swart of Cornell Engineering is joined by Luke Corbin and Jonathan Huer from AT&T Business to explore these developments. They examine how emerging AI solutions are being deployed across industries and what lessons can be learned from AT&T's experience as an early adopter of AI technologies.This discussion covers practical aspects, such as building AI capabilities, managing data governance, scaling solutions enterprise-wide, and developing AI-ready talent and culture. You'll gain insight into how AT&T's current AI initiatives compare with industry standards and consider common challenges faced during implementation as well as future possibilities in AI-driven business transformation.Professor Swart's Technical Product Management Certificate - https://ecornell.cornell.edu/certificates/technology/technical-product-management/AI for Digital Transformation Certificate - https://ecornell.cornell.edu/certificates/technology/ai-for-digital-transformation/Generative AI for Productivity Certificate - https://ecornell.cornell.edu/certificates/technology/generative-ai-for-productivity/ Follow eCornell on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X.

In this powerful and no-holds-barred conversation, I sit down with Brad Bizjack, a mindset strategist and personal development expert who's walked through monumental challenges and rebuilt his life and business from the ashes. We dive into why mindset is more than just “be positive,” how your relationship with problems determines your trajectory, and what it actually looks like to build resilience in 2025. If you've felt stuck or overwhelmed by business problems lately, this episode will leave you feeling lighter, more empowered, and ready to move forward. Brad's journey from being $92,000 in debt to leading thousands through transformation gives him rare credibility and perspective as a mindset coach.  He shares raw, personal stories of collapse and rebirth, and practical tools you can use right now to shift your thinking, rewire limiting patterns, and deal with adversity with more clarity and strength. Timeline Highlights [00:03:09] Brad's backstory: struggling, in debt, and binge-watching reruns... until a mindset shift changed everything [00:09:04] Why “mindset” is misunderstood: blind positivity vs. true optimism [00:12:28] Your success is proportional to your relationship with problems [00:17:43] When it all went wrong: a cascade of events collapsing Brad's business [00:23:09] The turning point: shifting from problem-focus to solution-focus [00:24:11] The root: subconscious patterns from childhood that derail your business [00:45:17] Zooming out: cycles, seasons, and how perspective changes everything Top 5 Quotes from Brad “Mindset is not 'be positive'. That is not what that means. It requires true optimism to face what you're dealing with.” “True mindset work is about identifying the toxic beliefs, the thought processes, the limiting emotional patterns, the limiting identities, the energetic state that you tend to live in consistently, and being a mirror for the pieces of your heart that aren't healed yet.” “Your success is completely and directly proportional to the quality of your relationship with problems.” “Whatever you are currently resisting in your life is the thing you are giving your power away to.” “Successful people recognize that they are an emotional thermostat, not a thermometer. They might have a little dip, but they'll be pretty steady throughout it.” Links & Resources Join Brad's Free Success Accelerator Challenge (October 20–24) Get Brad's Wired For Success eBook Follow Brad on Instagram @BradBizjack Closing Note If this episode gave you new momentum or insights, I'd love for you to rate, follow, share, and review the podcast.

Last week we talked about why you don't have to choose between money and alignment. Today, I'm sharing the actual framework that allowed me to stop making that choice altogether.Here's what most people miss about aligned action—it's not just energetic work or visualisation. It also includes having the strategic foundations in place to actually support what you're visualising. You can't visualise your way to a business that runs without you if you haven't built the systems. And you can't build sustainable systems if you're not clear on what experience you actually want to have.In this episode, I'm sharing how I went from believing I had to sacrifice my ambition to be aligned, to creating a 200% increase in launch results while taking summers off and feeling completely nourished by my work.In this episode, I share:
