Eze, also known as the Visceral Connections Coach (VCC), is a passionate advocate for reconnecting African descendants to the culture embedded in their DNA. His nearly decade-long endeavor culminated in the creation of his heartfelt book, "Found My People." As Eze embarked on his first trip to Africa in 2013, visiting Nigeria and finally stepping foot on the hallowed Badagry beach, he experienced a truly visceral moment. Tears streaming down his face, he realized that he and his daughter were the first members of their family to return to African soil after being forcefully uprooted from the continent centuries ago. It was a profound revelation that ignited his mission to embrace his heritage. During his journey, Eze encountered native Nigerian Igbo and Yoruba people who recognized elements of their own culture within him. Through a DNA test, it was confirmed that Eze is a descendant of both the Igbo and Yoruba people, two of Nigeria's largest ethnic groups. Additionally, his mother's side revealed his connection to the Fante people of Ghana. To honor his heritage, Eze legally changed his name to reflect his rich ancestry. Beyond his passion for cultural reconnection, Eze is also dedicated to helping individuals and small businesses thrive. As a VCC and owner of a small to medium enterprise (SME), he brings his exceptional training skills to guide and inspire others. Eze's leadership abilities were recognized during his tenure as Chapter Chair for SCORE, a business counseling service under the US Small Business Administration. Through his innovative thinking and management style, he garnered national attention and achieved the esteemed status of "Chapter Chair Emeritus." Eze also served as a Small Business Development Center Board Advisor, further exemplifying his commitment to fostering entrepreneurial success.

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First, Dom welcomes in friend-of-the-show Megan Brock, an advocate for parental rights, and Vicki Flannery, Chapter Chair for Montgomery County's chapter of Moms for Liberty, a group of parents hoping to bring power back to the hands of parents in schools. Last week, Dom told listeners that the Downtown Marriott here in Philadelphia is under fire by a hyper-Progressive group for hosting the national Moms for Liberty conference. Brock and Flannery take us inside the event, telling what exactly the group is hoping to bring Philadelphia, and telling they chose Philadelphia due to the City being the birthplace of liberty. Also, Flannery and Brock preview what to expect at the conference, and send listeners to MomsForLiberty.org.  Then, Dom welcomes in New Jersey State Senator Holly Schepisi who has some concerning news about State edicts around Coronavirus. Schepisi reveals that the Murphy administration is considering new COVID vaccine requirements for school children, running counter to suggestions by the Department of Health. Schepisi takes us through meetings held and things said behind the scenes that point to a requirement of students to receive that vaccine, which concerns both Giordano and Schepisi, with the Senator laying forth the negative implications of such a demand. Schepisi tells listeners what they can do to push back against such a requirement, and tells how she hopes to prevent this from taking effect in New Jersey.

Today, Hunter was joined once again by Jane Fox (Legal Aid Society New York) and Kyle Morris (Nashville Public Defender Office) to discuss all things student debt forgiveness. Last time they were on the show, Jane and Kyle walked Hunter through the complicated landscape of Public Service Loan Forgiveness, President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, and several other topics of interest. Since that interview, student debt forgiveness has become a even more pressing issue of conversation as the deadline for student debt payments getting turned back on looms large. Join Hunter, Jane, and Kyle as they breakdown the implications for public defense and other career fields as they grapple with the implications of the future of student debt.     Guest: Jane Fox, Public Defender and Chapter Chair, Legal Aid Society, New York City Kyle Morris, Felony Public Defender, Nashville Public Defender     Resources Student Aid .gov https://studentaid.gov/ Student Borrower Protection Center https://protectborrowers.org/ Cancel My Student Debt.

Lizanne Falsetto is the Founder and CEO of Betterland Foods. Years before she became a world-renowned CEO, Lizanne Falsetto began her entrepreneurial journey at her kitchen table, inspired both by a family recipe and desire to solve a personal problem. On that table, the original thinkThin bar was created: a revolutionary bar that would become one of the most sought-after health foods on the market. Lizanne is a prescient food pioneer and protein expert who understood the benefits of a high-protein, low-sugar lifestyle 20 years before the widespread adoption of the ketogenic diet. As thinkThin scaled to reach a global audience, Lizanne became the first in the industry to stamp “gluten-free” on product packaging, ultimately paving the way for an entirely new retail category on store shelves: the nutrition bar. Lizanne's original instinct for a clear market opportunity in health food evolved into a 20-year tenure as CEO of one of the fastest-growing health food brands in history. thinkThin was acquired by Glanbia in late 2015. Lizanne founded Betterland Foods on the vision of a kinder, more sustainable food system. She and her team are committed to innovating in several categories to deliver the next evolution of accessible, clean, and protein-rich products that deliver superior taste and health while treading gently on our planet, creating a better food future for all. Lizanne is also an active member of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), a board member of the Global Health & Wellness Network, Mayo Clinic Champion, host of the Vitality podcast, and the 2021/2022 Chapter Chair of the Pacific Coast Gold Chapter.   This Episode is Sponsored By: With Masterclass, you can learn from the world's best minds, anytime, anywhere, at your own pace.

However, the convenience of smart technology comes at a price: your data. At the end of the day, who's holding the information you're freely giving up? Take autonomous vehicles as an example. Those amazing AI chauffeurs know a lot about you — and it's hard to pinpoint exactly who owns that data after it's been collected. Is it the manufacturer? The dealer? You? How can you protect your privacy from a world that's consistently mining for more information? In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels sit down with Odia Kagan, Partner at Fox Rothschild LLP, to discuss how to protect your privacy and security in a world that's digging for data. Odia talks about the importance of transparency from autonomous vehicle companies, the rise of zero-party data, and how privacy laws are being enforced. Stay tuned.

On today’s episode, Patrina is especially excited to be joined by Betty Hines, business strategist extraordinaire. Betty is an entrepreneur, speaker, business mentor and coach, and certified group facilitator. She serves as a Chapter Chair for the Women Presidents Organization (WPO), of which Patrina is a member. Betty begins by sharing her background in corporate America, her journey to entrepreneurship, and the experience of launching her own business. She offers advice on raising not just enough capital to start a business, but also a surplus to sustain early growth, and addresses the lack of diversity among business executives in America, particularly for women of color. Betty talks about her role as Chapter Chair for the WPO, her ‘Women Elevating Women’ initiative, and using her platform as a powerful way to connect women of color to share business ideas, information, support, and networking opportunities in a field where they are so poorly represented.   Patrina asks Betty about the top challenges facing women business owners today, her best suggestions for finding the right mentor, and the idea of women collaborating with and supporting one another instead of competing in corporate America. They talk about being intentional with your physical, emotional, and psychological capital, and regularly assessing relationships and professional associations to determine whether they are worth investing your precious resources. Stepping out of your comfort zone, allowing yourself to be vulnerable in order to grow, and the importance of celebrating victories and achievements, especially for women of color, are also discussed. Finally, Betty tells Patrina what is currently bringing her joy, and reminds listeners to live a balanced life as you make sure to fulfill your divine purpose each and every day.    Episode Highlights: Betty’s background in corporate America Raising capital as an entrepreneur and launching her own business Her advice to raise not just your capital, but also a surplus to sustain early growth and success Lack of diversity in the business world, particularly for women of color Women’s Presidents Organization is an elite group for women who are CEOs, principals, partners of their own women-led company Betty’s chapter was intentionally women of color for the most part Using her experience and knowledge to help women come together and elevate one another Her vision for ‘Women Elevating Women’ initiative   Women of Color Event helped her see the importance of bringing women together for peer support, exchange of information, and encouragement Currently mentoring a group of 23 women whose business revenues range from six figures to $6.5 million Her global reach - the challenges women business owners face are universal Biggest obstacles for women-owned businesses in comparison to their male counterparts is access to capital, and access to information Inequities in the system keep certain demographics at a disadvantage, making Betty’s work to support women and minorities in their business development all the more crucial  Her advice for finding the right mentor - find someone who will advocate for you, make you feel comfortable, and encourage you to ask questions without judging you Business men tend to dominate the conversation and create an imbalance in dialogue If women buy into the notion that there is not enough sky for all of us, it creates the mentality to compete against one another instead of collaborating and supporting each other Having a little bit of something rather than 100% of nothing Connecting versus collaborating Social capital, psychological capital, emotional capital - when we spend these competing against each other, we’re depleting these important resources Being intentional about where you invest your physical, emotional and psychological capital Regularly rating experiences from 1 to 10 to decide whether they are worth your time and energy WPO Tiers and Betty’s insights on why women sometimes want to hold back on pursuing the next tier Growth comes from vulnerability and stepping out of your comfort zone The importance of celebrating your achievements, especially for women of color Betty’s work with women is what currently brings her joy and pride, as well as her adult children’s success, and participation in the National Usher’s Association Living a life of balance and purpose Opening ourselves up to our divine purpose brings infinite joy and abundance to our lives Quotes: “I have to say that was absolutely one of the most amazing experiences that I had as a new entrepreneur. And part of what made that experience so incredibly wonderful, was having someone as knowledgeable, as experienced, and as passionate about making meaningful connections as Betty was facilitating our ongoing development and growth.” “I think a lot of women that I've worked with, have had that same concept that, Look, I've been doing this for everybody else. Now I'm going to do it for myself. So we did that.” “[Women’s Presidents Organization] is an organization for women who are CEOs, principals, partners of their own company, a woman led company, they are the owners of 51% plus.” “I saw the value of having women together in a peer group with the WPO. And there's no other organization like that.” “I think one of the biggest barriers is the access to capital.” “The second biggest barrier is really kind of twofold. I say it’s access to information and access to opportunities.” “If the playing field is not level, if there are inequities in the system that actually keep certain demographics at a disadvantage, it just makes what you're doing all the more important and all the more crucial and critical.” “What you first do is not just go through LinkedIn and look at people and say, I want that one, I want that one. You need to know where you want to go. You have to have your business plan together - where is your growth, and who can get you there?” “You have to find a group that you’re comfortable with, and you can ask a question where you don't feel like you're going to be judged. And that's not always the case.” “I only bring people in the group that have that concept of, How do we elevate each other? And I am very sincere and passionate about that.” “There’s enough sky for all of us.” “There's always groups out there that you can use as a resource and as a base. And collaboration.” “Ask yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being little to no value and 10 being, Oh my god, this is the most invaluable experience I've ever had, start evaluating these experiences… If you've got things that are like 3 and below, cut it so that you have more physical, emotional and psychological capital to pursue those things that are going to give you a higher return on investment.” “If you've outgrown a circumstance, a situation or group, bless and release, you know, part lovingly, part graciously.” “My joy right now is...the things that I'm doing for the women, I’m just so proud and so pleased.” “We each have a divine purpose. And we should be endeavoring to be open to, and allowing that purpose to be fulfilled in us in the most wonderful and wondrous ways. And when we're doing that, that opens us up to infinite joy and abundance in our lives.”   Links:   Joyfully You Life homepage   Joyfully You Life Instagram   Joyfully You Life Facebook   Joyfully You Life Twitter   Joyfully You Life linktree   Betty Hines homepage

After years of growth and the need for a larger facility, TAGeX Brands relocated its operations from the Washington D.C. area to the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York, near Sherman’s hometown of Geneva.

In our discussion, Neal shares his perspective on the hospitality and food industries amidst the global crisis. He talks about what it will look like when we come out on the other side, and what strategies we can use to thrive during this crisis. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Neal’s perspective on the hospitality and food industries amidst the global crisis What the pandemic has done to the restaurant and hospitality industries, and what it will look like when we come out on the other side Strategies that businesses in the hospitality and restaurant industries can use to thrive during this crisis How restaurants are adapting to the limitations of lockdown Some of the initial rollout contingencies we are seeing in Texas, and how restaurants are navigating them How these changes are forcing us to reinvent the restaurant experience How Neal helps businesses monetize what they aren’t using Restaurants in Distress Neal Sherman is the founder and President of TAGeX Brands, a global firm that handles all aspects of facility closure and equipment liquidation in the food industry. TAGeX is a mediator between buyers and sellers of restaurant equipment, facilitating transactions in a common marketplace for the betterment of the industry as a whole. On our podcast, Neal shares his perspective on the hospitality and food industries amidst the global crisis. Neal’s experience on the operations side of the restaurant business enables him to provide a unique viewpoint on what the pandemic has done to the industry. He talks about what it will look like when we come out on the other side, and what strategies we can use to thrive during this crisis. Change is Inevitable Many of us have seen the numbers depicting the impact that the global pandemic has had on the hospitality and restaurant industries. But Neal Sherman sees them through an entirely different lens. As of last week, 130,000 restaurants were closed in America, eight million people were displaced from their jobs, and the industry will lose about $225B in total. That number is only the operators—if you take into account all of the ancillary industries as well, the numbers are amplified. It is painful to watch, and even more painful to experience, but change is inevitable and we have to figure this out on our own. We can choose to sit in the corner and sulk, or we can get back in the ring and fight—it is our decision to make. Communication is Key The thin margins associated with the hospitality industry contribute to its volatility. But restaurants were not made to sustain protracted periods of time with no business. In most industries, businesses do not operate with a six-month cash reserve, and restaurants have even less of a cushion. They are doing what they can to adapt. Creative twists on take-out and delivery strategies are helping restaurant owners recoup some of their losses. But it is only making up around 10-20%. Restaurants have to balance reopening with what is feasible based on their books, but communication is the key to making it work. Many operators are negotiating sacred topics that are never traditionally negotiated, such as bank loans, rent, vendor terms, etc. It is not going to be easy Website: https://www.tagexbrands.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neal-sherman-0781016/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/tagexbrands/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TAGeXBrandsLLC/ Twitter: @TAGexBrands Episode Transcript We value your thoughts and feedback and would love to hear from you.

If you are a foreign doctor wondering what it takes to actually practice medicine in Canada, this Episode is for you. Immigrating to Canada is often the easy part - understanding what it takes to actually qualify to work as a doctor is something entirely different. Canadian immigration lawyer, Irma Roberts joined me to shed some much needed light on this very confusing and difficult process. I am sure most of us have heard the failings of our old Federal Skilled Worker Program which opened Canada's doors to permanent resident status for foreign trained doctors only to see them driving taxis when they arrived. In this episode Calgary, Alberta based immigration lawyer Irma Roberts joins me to explain exactly what an International Medical Graduate needs to do to qualify to practice medicine in Canada. Irma Roberts has likely represented more foreign trained doctors in their efforts to become permanent residents of Canada than any other immigration lawyer in the country. Having her come on the Podcast was a complete no-brainer. Irma practices out of her own law firm in Calgary, Alberta. She has been involved with the Canadian Bar Association's local immigration section for a number of years including serving as the Chapter Chair and in a number of other capacities. Irma is heavily involved in volunteer work in Calgary currently serving as a Director on the Board of the Sunrise Community Link, a local anti-poverty organization. She is one of those lawyers that is doing it right. She cares about her clients and takes her responsibility to give back to the community very seriously. In this episode Irma and I discussed the following topics: the difference between working as a physician in Canada and immigrating as a physician; what is an international medical graduate (IMG); how to verify your qualifications as a physicians; what is the evaluation exam; can IMGs do their residency in Canada; how does the resident matching program work; and what are the best options for obtaining PR status in Canada.

www.SCORE-Reno.org 775-784-4436 There was a time when the term "small business" conjured up images of local hardware stores, family-owned diners, and independent bookshops on Main Streets. But small businesses have been transformed over the last two decades, largely because of the digital revolution. Starting your own business can be an exciting and rewarding experience. It can offer numerous advantages such as being your own boss, setting your own schedule and making a living doing something you enjoy. However, becoming a successful entrepreneur requires thorough planning, creativity and hard work. Today's guests representing the Northern Nevada Chapter of SCORE are: Irene DeHuff, Chapter Chair and experienced Human Resource professional; Steve Raas, a Civil and Geotechnical Engineer and Carl Gerhardt an absolute franchising expert. If you are ready, as Michael Gerber calls it, to work “on” your business, not “in” your business, then SCORE’s existing business mentors and CEO roundtable are ready to assist you. www.CheriHillShow.com www.SageIntl.com www.RosadoMarketing.com
