Am 12. Juli 2000 wäre ein Hapag Lloyd-Flug beinahe in einer Katastrophe geendet. Ein Airbus A310 der deutschen Charterairline ist auf dem Weg von Chania auf Kreta nach Hannover. Nach dem Start lässt sich das Fahrwerk nicht vollständig einklappen. Eine Verkettung von Fehlannahmen und Fehlentscheidungen des Kapitäns bringen das Flugzeug in eine dramatische Lage. Kurz vor der Notlandung in Wien-Schwechat geht Hapag Lloyd-Flug 3378 der Sprit aus.Für diese Folge konnten wir zwei wichtige Zeit- und Augenzeugen dieses Fluges interviewen: Passagierin Martina Buchholz aus Bremerhaven und den damaligen Wiener Flughafen-Betriebsleiter Gerhard Gruber, für den die Bruchlandung unerwartet auch persönlich zu einem einschneidenden Erlebnis wurde.Pilotenexperte Tobias Mang hilft uns einzuordnen, welche Folgen die Entscheidungen der Hapag Lloyd-Cockpitcrew hatte. Unser Kollege, der österreichische Journalist und Autor Patrick Huber, lässt uns an den teils exklusiven Recherchen für sein soeben erschienenes Buch über diesen Absturz teilhaben.

Einige von euch erinnern sich vielleicht noch an ihre Auftritte in der ZDF-Hitparade oder kennen diesen einen Song aus dem Indie-Filmklassiker „Sommer vorm Balkon“ von Adreas Dresen. Viele erkennen sie an ihrer charakteristischen Brille, die sie bis heute trägt. Aber wer hätte gedacht, dass Nana Mouskouri, geboren 1934 in dem kleinen Hafenstädtchen Chania auf der griechischen Insel Kreta eine der erfolgreichsten Sängerinnen aller Zeiten werden würde? Mit über 300 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern, Songs in mehr als 10 Sprachen und einer Karriere, die über sechs Jahrzehnte umspannt, ist sie eine Ikone der Musikgeschichte. Nur Madonna hat mehr Platten verkauft. In dieser Episode tauchen wir ein in das faszinierende Leben einer Frau, die zu unglaublicher Popularität kam, weil sie ihre Fans liebte, ihnen nah blieb, weil sie nie abhob, trotz ihres Riesenerfolgs. Im Laufe der Episode wird deutlich. Hinter der charakteristischen Brille und der sanften Stimme steckt weit mehr als nur musikalisches Talent: Nana Mouskouri musste sich in einer von Männern dominierten Branche behaupten, erlebte politische Umbrüche in ihrer Heimat Griechenland und engagierte sich als UNICEF-Botschafterin für Kinderrechte weltweit.Taucht mit uns ein in die Geschichte einer Frau, die mit ihrer Stimme Millionen verzaubert hat – und es bis heute tut!

Mit Chania auf Kreta in Griechenland habe ich wieder ein neues Workation-Ziel getestet und nehme Sie heute mit auf die sonnige Insel im Mittelmeer.  Für eine Woche bin ich dem tristen Grau Deutschlands entflohen und habe eine weitgehend sonnige Woche am alten Hafen in Chania verbracht. Ein sehr unkompliziertes Workation-Ziel, da Kreta und Griechenland innerhalb der EU liegen.  Arbeiten in der Sonne am Hafen, viel draußen sein, lecker essen und produktives Arbeiten an unterschiedlichsten Orten – das war meine Workation-Woche. Wie das mit dem Olivenöl gelaufen ist und ein echt witzige (im Nachhinein) Panne gibt´s auch.    Themen:  Novembersonne: Wetterwechsel mit doppeltem Glück: richtig mieses Wetter in Deutschland und eine spätherbstlich sonnige Woche mit 24 Grad in Chania.  Arbeitsorganisation: wie ich eine produktive Woche gestaltet habe.  Saisonzeiten: Nebensaison für Touristen ist Hochsaison für Workation.  Locations: Chania hat eine Fülle guter Angebote an Hotellerie, Apartments und Gastronomie.  Genüsse: Ob Fisch, ob Fleisch, ob vegan – die Küche lässt keine Wünsche offen.  Sonne: Schatten für den Laptop, Sonne für Rücken und Beine - perfekt!  Hafenatmosphäre: Frühstück am Hafen, Abendessen am Hafen. Das Wasser ganz nah.   Agrargewerbe. Bei der Olivenölernte kommt mir vieles vertraut vor – meine landwirtschaftliche Vergangenheit lässt grüßen.  Pleiten, Pech und Pannen. Ja – die gab´s auch. Verrate ich aber nur im Podcast

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Angela Koivula, psychologist and adjunct instructor at the University of Florida, about the complexities of navigating financial realities in the mental health profession and its impact on career decisions. Key Takeaways: Financial Planning & Sustainability: Many therapists face significant challenges in planning for retirement due to a lack of resources and knowledge about financial management in the mental health field. The constant need for marketing and client acquisition adds to the financial pressure, making self-care days seem like a luxury. Private Practice Realities vs. Perceptions: The perceived glamour in private practice marketing often hides the tough realities. Many professionals feel conflicted between their values and the demands of running a successful practice. Angela shares her journey of shifting focus during the pandemic, finding lucrative contract work, and educating herself on financial independence to secure a more stable career path. Systemic Issues & Solutions: The mental health profession is fraught with systemic issues like high student debt and low entry-level wages, making the field unsustainable for many. Angela argues for the need to re-evaluate career paths, customize work schedules for better work-life balance, and prioritize debt reduction for true financial freedom. More about Angela: Dr. Angela Koivula, Ph.D. (she/they) is a Licensed Psychologist with over 15 years experience in the field of mental health serving individuals, couples, and groups as well as active and retired military personnel and wellness industries. She has also served as an adjunct instructor at the University of Florida. She is a Black and Queer individual on a journey to be her most authentic self in everything she does. Her roots originate in Kansas City, MO, and is a lifelong, die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan! Website: Inclusivewellnessproject.com –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Redefine Rest: Personalized rest practices can be more beneficial than traditional methods, especially for neurodivergent individuals. Say No Without Guilt: Declining engagements or opportunities can help maintain mental health and prevent burnout, ensuring long-term well-being. More about Liz: Dr. Liz Slonena (slow-nih-nah) is an ADHD psychologist, speaker, and business consultant located in Asheville, NC. She's a connoisseur of nerdy things, from anime to JRPGs.

Group therapy services are a great option for therapists who want to diversify their practice and enhance client connection. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Brittany Bate, owner of Be BOLD Psychology and Consulting, about the ins and outs of running successful therapy groups. Brittany shares her extensive experience and offers insightful tips for therapists who want to incorporate group therapy into their practice. 3 Key Takeaways: Consistency in Marketing is Crucial: Don't shy away from posting multiple times across various platforms and track your marketing efforts. Remember, people need to see something multiple times before they take action. Know Your Audience and Needs: Focus on timely group topics that meet current demands, and you can analyze your client caseload and community discussions for ideas. Benefits for Clinicians and Clients: Group therapy offers more accessible options for clients and diversifies clinician workload to break the monotony of 1-on-1 sessions. Remember to establish clear structures for therapeutic and financial efficacy. Brittany's insights are great for anyone looking to expand their practice offerings and bring clients together in meaningful ways.

In this episode, Dr. Shauna Pollard and I had a dynamic discussion on navigating life and career through the lens of ADHD, entrepreneurship, and the unique challenges faced by BIPOC communities. Here are three key takeaways: Embracing Neurodivergence in Business: We shared how openly disclosing our neurodivergent identities has not only helped us embrace who we are but has also made clients with similar characteristics feel more comfortable seeking therapy. Importance of Community and Support: Dr. Pollard's coaching programs and consultation groups for BIPOC ADHD entrepreneurs highlight the crucial need for community support. These groups offer a platform for participants nationwide to connect and discuss essential topics like finances, practice-building, and resources. Navigating the Challenges of Entrepreneurship with ADHD: Entrepreneurship requires balancing numerous ideas and managing expectations, a challenge magnified for those with ADHD. It's important to temper energy to prevent burnout and diversify interests to sustain longevity in practice.

In this episode, Maureen Werrbach, the owner and founder of The Group Practice Exchange, and I discuss how being autistic and ADHD shapes our leadership styles, the challenges and unique strengths that come with being neurodivergent entrepreneurs, and the ripple effect of being authentic, from creating safe work environments to fostering creativity among teams. Key Takeaways: Understanding Neurodivergent Traits: Embrace the unique strengths and challenges that come with being neurodivergent and how it shapes leadership and entrepreneurship. Creating Inclusive Work Environments: Learn how openly sharing neurodivergent traits can lead to more accommodating and supportive workplaces that boost overall team success. Authenticity in Business: Realize the power of showing up authentically in your professional life, and how it can create a positive impact on both your business and audience. About Maureen: Maureen developed her coaching program, The Group Practice Exchange, based not only on her own experience with starting her private practice but also growing it into a successful group practice. She spent countless hours researching how to start a private practice (the legal and procedural steps) and then many more hours learning how to grow it into a group (again trying to figure out the appropriate steps). Through trial and error, she learned what works and what doesn't in running a counseling group practice. Maureen thoroughly enjoy helping clinicians become confident and organized group practice business owners.

In this conversation we talked about the history of Cretan wines, what grapes are the key grapes and what wines they can make, the key figures (well, apologies for many that were left out. We love you all!), the geography of this big island and more. So let's go! Join us to the coast, hills, mountains, stunning vineyard, wines and people of Crete!

  I've been listening to the music of Rafael Anton Irisarri for a long time. The oldest album of his that I have is 2007's Daydreaming. I'm listening to it as I type this and wow, I'd forgotten how excellent it is. His music has changed a bit since then - now using drones, symphonic washes, tape loops, layers of distortion and "bleached out textures." So I was excited when he offered to do a guest mix. Um, yes please! This mix is everything that I love about guest mixes because it takes twists and turns that I normally do not so it kept me engaged to whole way through. Here's what Rafael has to say about this set: "I crafted this mix as Spring gently dissolves into Summer, drawing inspiration from perennial favorites like Arvo Pärt and Harold Budd. It features the work of many dear friends and colleagues such as Sylvain Chauveau and Federico Durand, as well as some favorite tracks I've mastered at my Black Knoll Studio in New York. This includes pieces from William Basinski, Eluvium, Michael Muller, and Julia Kent, along with contributions from Grand River, Animated Matter (Hannah Elizabeth Cox), Concepción Huerta, Christina Giannone, Pepo Galán, and Karen Vogt. Adding a personal touch, I've included a piece from my latest album, released on my newly minted Black Knoll Editions, in collaboration with the esteemed Italian producer Abul Mogard. There's also a special collaborative piece I created with the brilliant Julianna Barwick a couple of years ago. Hope you enjoy!  Looking forward to playing some shows this summer, starting in Italy on July 7th with Abul Mogard in Rome at Halfdie Festival, then later on September 14 at Ametric Festival in Chania, Greece.

Sustainable Wine's Toby Webb recently visited Dourakis Winery in Chania, Crete where he spoke with oenologist Adonis Dourakis. In this podcast Adonis shares more about their wines and how climate change is impacting indigenous grapes in the region. They discuss the current state of grape growing in Greece, how growers are adapting to the changing climate, and the future of regenerative viticulture in Crete.

Have you ever thought that owning a winery would be a fun and glamorous job? What most people don't think about is the incredibly hard work that goes into every aspect of running your own business. Instead of working 8 hours a day, you work 24/7 working odd jobs and doing anything to ensure your business is successful. This week on the show, Sarah interviews Antonis and Evie Dourakis of the Dourakis Family Winery in Crete, Greece. Antonis and Evie discuss the blessings and the challenges of running a family winery. From respecting tradition, upsetting family, and constantly evolving to stay relevant, Evie and Antonis discuss their experience of growing up in a family with a generational winery. It's a conversation you don't want to miss, so grab your favorite glass of wine and press play now! ------ Watch this episode on my new YouTube Channel for the best experience: https://youtu.be/X52DNzGKxlI Sign up for The Wine CEO newsletter and get a free guide to Food & Wine Pairing: thewineceo.com Email: Sarah@thewineceo.com Instagram: @thewineceo Facebook: @sarahthewineceo ------ Dourakis Family Winery: https://dourakiswinery.gr/ The wines we tasted: -Apus Romeiko: https://dourakiswinery.gr/product/apus-romeiko/ -Zelos Malvasia di Candia Aromatica: https://dourakiswinery.gr/product/zelos-aromatica-bio/ -Lihnos Vidiano: https://dourakiswinery.gr/product/lihnos-vidiano/ Visit the Dourakis Family Winery in Chania, Crete or follow along on social media.

Jane Lo speaks with Dimitris Angelakis, Chief Scientist and Founder (AngelQ Quantum Computing), Principal Investigator, CQT (Centre for Quantum Technologies, Singapore).AngelQ Quantum Computing is a quantum software and consulting company based in Singapore. AngelQ builds architecture-agnostic quantum and quantum inspired software solutions ready for company deployment. Example industries it works with are market and consumer research, finance, energy and sustainability, and supply chain. Angelakis completed his PhD in quantum physics at Imperial College in 2002 and his thesis received the UK Institute of Physics Quantum Electronics Thesis Prize that year. Since then, he has been leading quantum computing research teams in Cambridge, Greece and Singapore. His research awards include the 2018 Google Quantum Innovation Award and the Valerie Myerscough Award from University of London.Dimitris G. Angelakis joined CQT in 2009 as a Principal Investigator after being a regular visitor and collaborator of the quantum group since 2003. He was born and raised in a small farm in Chania, Crete, Greece, where his childhood curiosity for the wonders of nature led him to study physics in the University of Crete in Heraklion. In 1998 he was offered a PhD position in quantum optics to work with Sir Peter Knight FRS at Imperial College London supported by the Greek State Scholarship Foundation. His PhD work in quantum light-matter interactions received the Valerie Myerscough prize in 2000, and also the Institute of Physics UK prize in 2002. In 2001 and at age 25 he was elected college research Fellow at University of Cambridge (St Catharine's JRF) and worked in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics until 2007. A year after his move to Cambridge, the Centre for Quantum Computation in Cambridge was initiated by Artur Ekert, where he joined to work in implementations of quantum simulation and computation. In 2008 he took over a faculty appointment at his hometown Technical University of Crete, where he in now a tenured associate professor of Quantum Physics at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (part time since 2012). He is known among others for his pioneering work in quantum simulators using light-matter systems. He received the Google Quantum Innovation Prize in 2018.In this interview, Dimitris introduces the trends of Quantum Technology, pointing to the developments in 3 rapidly emerging pillars – Quantum Computing, Quantum Networks, Quantum Devices.Focusing on the area of Quantum Computing, Dimitris elaborates on how practical problems that require optimization, simulation and machine learning solutions would benefit from the speedup afforded by quantum technology.Hence, for organisations to be “quantum ready”, Dimitris suggests a key first step for organisations is identifying where there are existing problems relying on optimization – such as routing and navigation. In addition, Dimitris advises that transforming such problems to be “quantum ready” entails working with a quantum technology company to incorporate machine learning, and to co-design the quantum algorithms specific to the organisation's problem.Dimitris also stresses that quantum technology companies are working in partnerships with quantum hardware infrastructure providers to make quantum computing easily accessible to organisations via APIs. Such accessibility removes a major misconception that many have about quantum computing – that adoption requires acquiring specialized hardware.With the disruptive nature of quantum technology, the need to be “quantum ready” is crucial. As such, Dimitris reminds organisations that performance and speedups goals are part of an overall journey that is foremost about learning – and in this, finding the right partner and quantum startup to work with, is one of the keys to success.Recorded 7th June 2023, 2.30pm, Quantum Technology Summit (part of ATxSG), Singapore Expo.

Pour ce 5e épisode, nous vous emmenons sur l'île des dieux, en Crète, Grèce. Marie et Didier ont fait le tour de l'île pendant 3 semaines l'été dernier et nous racontent leurs vacances en Crète. C'est une île de traditions connue pour ses plages aux eaux turquoises et ses petits villages typiques. QUEL ITINERAIRE POUR VISITER LA CRETE ? Marie et Didier ont fait un tour de l'île en voiture pendant 3 semaines et c'est la durée idéale selon eux, pour avoir le temps de passer 3-4 jours dans chaque ville. L'Est de l'île  Des plateaux arides et de belles criques Agios Nikolaos : c'est une jolie petite ville avec un lac et située en bord de mer. Plage d'Elounda  Le petit village et la plage de Plaka L'île de Spinalonga Les ruines minoens Plateau du Lassithi : situé dans les terres, c'ets la région des moulins.  Village de Mochlos : petit village peu touristique, aux eaux turquoises Village de Palékastro Très belles petites églises baroques et monastères orthodoxes tout au long de la route. La vallée des Morts de Kato Zakros : il y fait très chaud en été mais très beau à voir. Le Sud Ouest de l'île Village Hippie de Matala : ce village hippie est orienté sud ouest avec des vues spectaculaires sur le coucher de soleil. L'ambiance y est hors du temps, comme une plongée dans l'histoire. Le charmant village blanc de Loutro : accessible qu'en bateau, ce village somptueux de bord de mer est calme et paisible. Le Nord Ouest de l'île Elafonisi : c'est une très grande plage de sable fin aux reflets roses et aux eaux cristallines turquoises. Conseil : y aller hors saison ou très tôt le matin pour éviter les foules Les plages de Falassarna : pour passer de belles soirées face au coucher de soleil somptueux sur la mer. LES COUPS DE COEUR EN CRETE La Canée : son port, des promenades interminables dans les ruelles, des maisons ottomanes aux façades en bois splendides, des minarets... Un véritable petit paradis. Le monastère d'Arkadi : situé dans les terres, c'est un bijou d'architecture, de floraison, perdu au milieu de nulle part. À voir absolument ! Réthymnon : un port extraordinaire, des rues très animées, plusieurs monastères intéressants à voir autour de la ville... Ne passez pas à côté de Réthymnon ! LA GASTRONOMIE CRETOISE Les plats que l'on mange en Crète sont très variés : des ragouts, de la viande et du poisson, des grillades, salades grecques, des gyros (kebab crétois)...

Wolfgang Niedecken von Bap ist eine Institution in der deutschen Rocklandschaft. Mit seiner Band hat er in über 40 Jahren unzählige Konzerte gegeben und seit der Wiedervereinigung sind auch Termine in sächsischen Städten regelmäßig im Tourkalender dabei. Am 10.November spielen Bap wieder einmal in Leipzig, im Haus Auensee, ein Termin, auf den sich Wolfgang Niedecken sehr freut. Und er verspricht eine energie geladene Liveshow: “Was wie immer sein wird, dass wir eine Band mit einer großen Spielfreude sind, mit einem Riesenrepertoire, dass wir ein gerüttelt Mass an Klassikern spielen, aber auch Stücke vom neuen Album. Und dass es eine flexible Veranstaltung sein wird, dass wir uns auf das Publikum freuen.” Da Bapkonzerte gerne länger dauern, muss der Frontmann natürlich besonders fit sein. Mit 71 Jahren keine leichte Aufgabe, aber Wolfgang hat da sein persönliches Fitness Regime: “Ich setze mich jeden Morgen eine Stunde auf den Heimtrainer. Das ist gut, damit ich ordentlich durchschwitze. Früher bin ich auch mit dem Rad durch die Gegend gefahren, aber irgendwann war mir das dann zu gefährlich.” Die Zeit der wegen Corona verschobenen Bap Konzerte hat Wolfgang auf verschiedene Weise genutzt, unter anderem für kleinere Auftritte mit seinem Bob Dylan Projekt und für Reisen, zum Beispiel auf die Insel Kreta: “Ich bin ja gern an der Südküste, aber auch die Städte an der Nordküste, Chania ist zum Beispiel eine wunderschöne Stadt. Da muss man auf jeden Fall gewesen sein.” Daneben hat Wolfgang Niedecken auch Konzerte von anderen Bands besucht. Welche Band ihn da letztens begeistert hat, verrät der Musiker im aktuellen Podcast “Axel Trifft”.

Katelyn and I welcome Tom Katsis to help us share travel hacks on the way to and in Greece. In Part 1, we discuss Flights when booking with one airline but the actual flight is OPERATED BY another airline. Also be aware in Greece regarding Passenger Boarding Bridges or Jet Bridges or the lack thereof. It can affect your connecting flight in a big way as we learned. Also please be fully updated with your travel apps like Google Maps because so many streets are unidentifiable and businesses in many cases do not have an address number . Finally in this episode we discuss Hotels and Apartments and how Apartments can many times be a better deal. Finally a big thank you to the people of Greece for their incredible generosity and kind spirit. A link to the 2 hotels/apts. that were both true bargains and great locations to see both Santorini and Chania. https://www.reverie.gr/en/. https://artemisrooms.gr/ Here is a link to Episode #316 Travel Hacking My Way to Portugal where I discuss "Operated By" and "Code Share" https://www.dadsdaughtersanddollars.com/podcast-financial-independence/episode/57f79d10/ep-316-travel-hacking-my-way-to-portugal --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Professor John Bennet, Archaeologist and Director of the British School of Athens, leads us on a journey of discovery through Minoan and Mycenaean art and civilization in the Bronze Age Aegean. What is contained in their mysterious Linear A & B writings? What influenced the artistic aesthetic of their very modern frescoes? Were the Minoans linked to the fabled story of Atlantis?   John Bennet's research focuses on the archaeology of complex societies (particularly the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures of the Bronze Age Aegean), the archaeology and history of Crete, early writing and administrative systems (especially Linear B), and on the Venetian and Ottoman periods in Greece, often explicitly integrating material and textual evidence.  His further interest in diachronic regional studies has been developed through fieldwork in Crete (Knossos; Phaistos region; Chania region), mainland Greece (Pylos region) and the islands (Keos; Kythera). As Director of The British School of Athens, he co-edits the BSA Annual and compiles the annual Archaeology in Greece bulletin for Archaeological Reports. As a professor he has taught in the Universities of Cambridge, Wisconsin–Madison and Oxford and currently holds a Chair in Aegean Archaeology at the University of Sheffield. Follow us @lindseycalla

The campaign blends new luxury experiences with places and people at its heart, doubling down on a message of inclusivity. The campaign's television spot opens by posing the question, “How many precious moments have we missed?”, before taking the viewer on a journey filled with experiences and wonders one might not immediately associate with a cruise.Set to a remix of Louis Armstrong's iconic life-affirming ballad “What a Wonderful World,” the spot draws on the lyrics, enticing the viewer at every moment to return to experiencing the fullness of life.  The spot also reminds viewers that there are new safety considerations in today's travel environment that Celebrity Cruises takes seriously. Like many other travel brands, Celebrity Cruises paused its operations in March 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic took hold. After nearly 16 months, it became the first cruise operator to sail with passengers from both North America, and then, the first to sail from a U.S. port when Celebrity Edge left Fort Lauderdale on June 26 for a seven-night cruise of the Caribbean.https://youtu.be/uQet84z_quECarnival Corporation to Provide Convenient Access to Pre-Board Testing (USA only) The world's largest cruise company, today announced a new initiative making pre-board testing more convenient and accessible for its guests.

I discuss some of the lessons America can learn from the occupation of Crete by Nazi forced during World War 2. As always, the opinions expressed in this podcast are mine and my guests' and not the opinions of my university, my company, or the businesses with which I am connected. I am an attorney and speaker as well as the founder and CEO of Claremont Management Group, a consulting firm in Houston, Texas.

In this episide of Greece Chats I am with Andrea Holland. Andrea Holland is a mover and a shaker. A 16 year Public Relations veteran who started her career in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, Andrea has managed PR teams for some of the biggest brands in consumer technology including Intuit, PayPal, SONY and LegalZoom. In 2014 after nearly a decade in Corporate America, Andrea left everything stable- her corporate job with the Cush salary and the matching 401K, as well as her rent controlled apartment in San Francisco and moved to Southern California to try her hand consulting, building her own practice and building her own venture. Over the next 8 years, she started building multiple PR related ventures (once of which even started in Greece!) including an early stage consultancy (DialedPR.com), RemotePRJobs (RemotePRJobs.com) and became one of the leading PR authors/instructors for LinkedIn Learning, the world's largest online education site. All of this, while partaking in long stints of international travel in Greece, Africa, Southeast Asia and Europe, working early stage startups, speaking at Venture Capital firms and giving keynote addresses at Universities nationwide. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Andrea is a proud 3rd generation Greek American with family hailing from Chania, Crete.

The foundational pillars for The Brantley Method are Inspiration, Motivation and Education; the mission is to utilize stories as a vehicle to provide those pillars to the world in unique ways. Chania Ray has experienced the biggest fear of most Student Athletes; the day the air goes out of the ball. She has gracefully transitioned from running the team as a Point Guard to running her own business. She's taken the skillset that made her one of the best players in the Big 12 and utilized it to make her a successful business woman. She has utilized her drive, determination & dedication to build a sustainable brand. She is an example of what can happen if you dare to dream big and put in the work to achieve those dreams. She is a leader on and off the court who understood how to make a decade of practice, training and competition translate to "win's" in the sport of entrepreneurship. We discussed her journey and what has made her successful on and off the court. Chania spoke to me about her love and passion for her family and the things she would change about women's basketball to give more opportunities for those who travel the same path she did. The future is extremely bright for Ms. Ray and with everything going on in the world today, her story and message are very much needed. I'm thankful to have the opportunity to share Chania's story and others like it. #FreeGame #GoFURTHER
