Emily shares her experiences and expertise on how inclusive language can foster a more equitable and supportive work environment.    Leadership tips you won't want to miss:

Calvin Gray with T-Mobile Talks Future of 5G on the Georgia Podcast Atlanta is known as the cradle for wireless communication.  In our studio is ‘the man behind the mobile network'.  Calvin Gray was the first of four engineering employees for T-Mobile.  He will tell us about T-Mobile's advanced technology, 5G and the future of wireless communications. Calvin Gray is the Senior Director of Engineering and Operations at T-Mobile and is often known as the “man behind the mobile network.” He fell into the wireless industry by luck in 1984 and moved to Atlanta in the ‘90s, where he became one of the first four engineering employees for T-Mobile. His ingenuity helped to build the very first network site in 1996-97 – long before it was mainstream – and he has since helped the company build 2,300 cell towers and make significant enhancements to local networks ahead of the Super Bowl. To ensure the strength of the network, they enhanced it in a way so that it would cover way more people than T-Mobile currently serves and made it a point to leave the infrastructure in place to continue to serve Atlanta – a game-changer for residents as they prepare for the launch of 5G. Topics: You've been called the “man behind the mobile network” here in Atlanta. Tell us a bit about your long tenure with T-Mobile. How did you get started? What do you love about working with the company? You are also an Atlanta resident. How has your work in Atlanta made a difference to your own community? Tell us a bit about the work your team did to prepare Atlanta for the SuperBowl – and how you ensured the results of that work would remain for residents and visitors? Why is Atlanta such an important market for T-Mobile? What is the craziest memory or story you have of working in the field? The launch of 5G is just around the corner. Can you tell us a bit about what 5G will look like for businesses here in Atlanta? How will it make things easier for consumers?

How to Chose the Best Healthcare Provider and Chiropractic Biophysics on Georgia Podcast Dr. Mike Weiner Optimal Spine and Body LLC Dr. Mike Weiner is a chiropractor that has a passion for changing the healthcare system. People are relying on medication to cover up the symptoms. Dr. Mike Weiner practices a very research and evidenced based chiropractic technique called Chiropractic Biophysics. Through this technique that aims to align the spine into its ideal position, he finds that his patients not only eliminate their symptoms, but they get off their medications that they were dependent on. From there, it is his goal that every patient can live with more confidence in their health for a lifetime. Dr. Mike Weiner is certified in Chiropractic Biophysics, has two case study research articles in the medical index, and has a desire to continue to research and document his care to help more people. He has been practicing for over 2 years and has recently opened up his own practice called Optimal Spine and Body. Everyone should have the opportunity to live as healthy as they want and Dr. Mike Weiner won't rest until every patient can achieve that without drugs or surgery. Topics: Healthcare trends, how most doctors are authoritative and don't listen to their patients, how the 3 prongs of evidence informed healthcare should work, trends with insurance, and how to chose the best healthcare provider for you and your family. Lastly, I want to talk about Chiropractic Biophysics, what makes it different, how it has helped myself, and how it can change the course of this country's health as a healthcare model.

Virginia Muzquiz, The Referral Diva®, Founder and Chief Connection Officer at Master Connectors, Inc. With more than 2 decades of experience generating business by referral, Virginia has been teaching entrepreneurs and small business owners the art and science of filling their sales funnels with high quality , on-demand referrals.  She calls her process Referral Alchemy and when fully implemented, it can quite literally infuse tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars into your business without a single dollar in ad spend. You see, most of the business owners in your network are running unconscious referral algorithms. They don't really think about you until someone asks for a recommendation, and then they drop your name. If you are lucky, you've met a couple of referral archeologists who keep you top of mind and are willing to DIG in their network to see what opportunities they can find hidden in their “Rolodex.” And then, there are the elusive referral alchemists who can seemingly make referrals appear out of thin air! Jim Rohn said we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with… so if you want to hang out with the alchemists, you need to learn to BE an alchemist… and that is what working with Virginia can help you do!

Stay safe!   “I’m learning how much we need to feel not alone,” says Amy Giddon, co-founder and Chief Connection Officer of Daily Haloha (https://dailyhaloha.com/), a mobile app that allows people to connect more deeply and compassionately to themselves through a shared experience of reflection. "We’re wired for connection. It’s poignant that a two minute ritual can make people feel belonging.” Each day the app asks users to answer a simple question or fill in the blank, such as “I’m becoming __________”; shared answers create a kind of group connection. Through her work in strategic and financial planning at Bain & Company and women’s leadership development at Barnard College, Giddon discovered how the voices of “women and others can be marginalized and not heard.” After the 2016 election she sensed people “felt silenced and separated.” She says Daily Haloha became “like a calling” and was birthed at her kitchen table.

Everybody can be successful if they want to be. With patience, persistence, and perspiration, you can accomplish anything. Successful networker and Chief Connection Officer of Firestorm in Denver, Colorado Phil Pelto helps people grow their business through relationships, strategic partnerships, and referrals. Firestorm is a business to business networking organization. They organize events and meetings for business people to meet, build relationships, and share referrals. He says no matter who their target market is, the goal is to help people grow their business. Phil shares a lot of what they’re doing and who they are serving from different industries. — Watch the episode: Listen to the podcast: How Strategic Relationships Can Help You Grow Your Business with Phil Pelto We have Phil Pelto. He’s the Founder and Chief Connection Officer of Firestorm (https://www.myfirestorm.com/) in Denver, Colorado. Phil, thanks so much for being on the podcast. Thanks for having me. Phil and I have a history. We’ve had breakfast together. We’ve talked about his networking efforts. He is an awesome networker and he’s built quite a business. Phil if you would, tell us about your business and who you serve. Firestorm is a business to business networking organization. We organize events and meetings for business people to meet and build relationships and share referrals. The whole idea is to help people grow their business through relationships, strategic partnerships and referrals. The people that we serve are typically business owners that are still actively involved in the biz dev. I would say zero to $3 million in revenue, where they’re getting out and trying to grow their top line sales. We also have a good contingent of salespeople that work for larger organizations, the Comcast and CenturyLinks of the world, but are also going after business owners. The one thing both of those folks have in common is they are serving clients that are between $1 million to $50 million in revenue. We have all sorts of different industries. There are people that are doing the podcasting and phone systems and there are people that are doing digital marketing and websites and attorneys and CPAs and all that stuff. That’s our target market and the goal is to help people grow their business. I was looking at your website and you had a lot of these groups up and down the front range. Can you describe the nature and the structure of each one of those separate units? The nice thing about our organization is each one of those groups take sides on flavor, depending on who the core group of people is. What we’ll do is we’ll get a leader that has a business that it would behoove them to do this anyway. They would be out there looking for a group on their own and they decide that they want to run it. We have some good support structure in place for that. They will choose who they want to start the group with and they get to be a little bit selfish about it since it’s their group. They all say you’re in the exit planning and financial services business and so you would say, “Who are good partners for me?” We’d map out some good strategic partners and that would be the core group of people that we’d look for and then it expands from there. Depending on who the first person is, that will depend on the way the group grows and the makeup of the group going forward. It’s interesting. You can visit a chapter in Longmont and visit a chapter in Lone Tree and they are very different makeups, depending on who it was that started it. We’re going to pretend I’m down in Colorado Springs and I want to open my chapter. Let’s go to the mechanics, your support level, expenses and that kind of thing. We’ve been doing this for thirteen years now. Over the years I’ve been keeping notes and making manuals and becoming more...
