Boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls according to data from the CDC. That's because the traditional signs of autism are often difficult to detect depending on the gender a child is assigned at birth. Our guest explains the signs parents should look for and what to do if they think their little one may be showing signs of autism. Jessica speaks with Dr. Christopher J. Smith, Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center's Chief Science Officer, to learn more about the different ways autism can present in children. Host:Jessica Stewart-Gonzalez is the Chief of the Office of Children's Health at the Arizona Department of Health Services. She is married, has two young children, and loves reading (anything except parenting books!) and watching movies and TV.  She loves to spend time with her kids (when they aren't driving her crazy) and celebrating all of their little, and big, accomplishments. Jessica has been in the field of family and child development for over 20 years, working towards normalizing the hard work of parenting and making it easier to ask the hard questions.Links: Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center: Resources and GuidesArizona Early Intervention ProgramThe Parenting Brief: Early Intervention for AutismStrong Families AZHost: Jessica Stewart-GonzalezGuest: Christopher J.

As the show wrapped up, handshakes and thank yous were exchanged, and Danny and Ken walked out of the studio to face the evening traffic. Producer Darrol turned to Kindra, the host of the Culture Crush Business Podcast. “I think that was one of your best shows so far.” Each show gets better and better. The conversations are deeper, the list of resources for companies continues to grow, and the guests seem to get even more comfortable in the studio discussing the ups and downs of company culture. Ken McElroy and Danny Openden were upfront and honest with the conversations that they discussed surrounding company culture. According to Ken, “company culture is made up of the traditions, rituals, rules, consistency and especially, the human capital of the company.” For MC Companies and Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center, these contributing factors of culture were flipped upside down during covid. Their leaders and teams have had to work through this. The two of them discussed ways they are working through this and how they are trying to grow their culture again and even stronger. Both companies are doing amazing things to support their community and their people. We hope that everyone takes the time to listen in and follow both companies to see what they are up to next. This show is great for all audiences: If you are a leader that is struggling to grow your team virtually while balancing coming back to the office in person- then you should listen up. If you are a leader looking for tangible resources to help improve your company's culture- then you should listen up. If you are passionate about supporting your teams and their growth- then you should listen up. If you are just looking for some good books to read about leadership and growth- you should listen up. MC Companies has been making Real estate Investing simply since 2001. The founder's Ross McCallister and Ken McElroy, have been leaders in the industry for over 30 years and have helped many achieve their dreams of Real Estate Investing a reality. The philosophy of both is rooted in the fundamentals of Management, Ownership, and Preservation of each asset. They act as the stewards of the company and maintain an active role in every quadrant of the organization.  Real Estate Investing is MC Companies' core business, and they know the best way to provide the highest returns is to manage each asset themselves. Lesley Brice, the President, and Partner at MC Companies, leads the Management and Finance teams that make MC Companies successful. She and her team drive the performance of each asset to ensure the best returns for each investment with long-term goals in mind. MC Companies' tag line is “Sharing the Good Life,” which means something different to everyone. For Investors, it means that the company performs at its highest level and helps them achieve financial security, look towards the future and prepare for what comes next. They do this by advising and making smart investments. This means careful market analysis and intelligent stewardship of the assets. For residents, Sharing the Good Life means providing the best in class customer service and value. MC is diligent in the quest to stay in touch through customers' journeys. They look for every touchpoint to be an opportunity to take in their customers' feedback and keep happy residents happy for as long as they choose to call MC Companies' apartment homes…home. For employees, Sharing the Good Life means that as a company, they value their people…there is no company without great people doing great things. Culture is not something that just happens at MC. It is tended to with purpose and passion. Teams are encouraged to get involved in the community and given every path to do so, from paid time off to volunteer to the opportunity to donate vacation days to charity. Ken McElroy has lived and breathed real estate for his entire adult life, learning from the ground up. Ken got his start during college when he took a job managing an apartment complex. What began as a way to simply cover his room and board ignited his entrepreneurial spirit. The turning point came when the property owner dropped by the office to pick up his check for the month. Ken decided that one day he would be on the other side of the desk, picking up his own check. Fueled by that determination, Ken bought his first investment property not long afterward. It was a small property that barely turned a profit, but it didn't matter. Ken was hooked. Since then, Ken has experienced great success in the real estate world – from investment analysis and property management to acquisitions and property development. Together with his real estate investment company, MC Companies, Ken has transacted over $1 billion in real estate. Today, Ken is committed to helping as many people as possible to achieve financial freedom through real estate. He shares his expertise with thousands of people around the world through his immensely popular YouTube channel and is a sought-after speaker on real estate investing at events around the world. In addition to all of that, Ken is the author of the best-selling books The ABC's of Real Estate Investing, The Advanced Guide to Real Estate Investing, The ABC's of Property Management, and most recently his book on entrepreneurship, The Sleeping Giant. As the Real Estate Advisor to Robert Kiyosaki of The Rich Dad Company, Ken is also a chapter contributor in the newly released Rich Dad book, More Important Than Money: An Entrepreneur's Team. Ken lives with his family in Scottsdale, Arizona. He is probably mulling over a deal right this second. Connect with Ken on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and follow MC Companies on LinkedIn.
