Nancy Treaster joins host Ron Aaron and co-host Carol Zernial to talk about how her caregiving journey led her to co-found the not-for-profit, The Caregiver's Journey on this edition of Caregiver SOS. About Nancy Nancy Treaster, a retired software industry veteran who spent her professional life managing strategy for a publicly-traded, global company, found herself in unfamiliar territory when her husband was diagnosed with dementia. Her usual techniques for quickly changing course and overcoming obstacles weren’t working. When she reconnected with her friend, veteran caregiver Sue Ryan, the two lamented the lack of candid and practical advice for day-to-day dementia caregiving, and then the two former colleagues did what they do best – they created a solution. Through The Caregiver’s Journey, Nancy brings her business expertise, caregiving experiences, and skills as a Certified Caregiving Consultant to improving the lives of dementia family caregivers with frank and actionable insights and advice – something there is not enough of in the marketplace. Through short and engaging podcasts as well as other resources, Nancy and Sue map out solutions that caregivers are desperately seeking. In doing so, Sue and Nancy are empowering dementia family caregivers with the knowledge and confidence they need to navigate their journey with fewer surprises and more resources. Prior to founding The Caregiver’s Journey, Nancy spent 16 years as General Manager of Strategic Operations at Verint Systems, a leader in customer experience (CX) automation. Hosts Ron Aaron and Carol Zernial, and their guests talk about Caregiving and how to best cope with the stresses associated with it.

According to Urban Dictionary, "dormify" means "to decorate your living space with cool, trendy, hip fashion." It was added in 2011, the same year Dormify, the powerhouse brand behind the growing Internet trend for designer dorm rooms, was officially launched. Co-founded by Amanda Zuckerman and her mom, this brand has transformed dorm and small-space living into something chic, personalized, and functional.  As Amanda stood in the aisles of Bed Bath & Beyond with her mom in 2009, trying to find dorm room essentials, she couldn't find bedding suitable for dorm room beds, let alone something stylish. She realized she was having a lightbulb moment. She planned to create a brand dedicated to students getting ready for college. With encouragement from her mother, Amanda co-founded Dormify at 18 years old from her dorm room. Over the past 13 years, Amanda's college startup success has helped countless millennials create the dorm room of their dreams and now Gen Z (and soon-to-be Gen Alpha) are catching on to the growing trend. Throughout her entrepreneurial journey, Amanda has learned the best way to navigate the co-founder relationship between mother and daughter, how to adapt to the needs of a new generation while innovating new products, and how to find her rhythm as a young founder. With so much success already under her belt, Amanda is looking forward to the next evolution of Dormify, transitioning to the go-to brand for all your pivotal life moments, from decorating your first apartment to your baby nursery.  Thanks for listening!  Don't forget to order Rebecca's new book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success.

How do our choices when shopping impact the planet?  Really enjoyed this conversation with Stine Smith about her entrepreneurial journey as a co-founder of Good Change which has a focus on cleaning products that are better for us and the earth.   But we start hearing about her childhood in Denmark, what she learned as a 15 year old on exchange in America, her international sales and management consulting career in Europe, America and the Middle East and how she came to Aotearoa New Zealand and started the business.   A highlight is our focussing in on doing a business with a cofounder rather than on your own and what it takes to make that work well - identifying each of your skills and trusting each other to play to those.   If you enjoy this then why not check out the 400+ other conversations on seeds www.theseeds.nz and share the show with one other person, that is how it will grow as it is just a word of mouth approach.   Website: https://www.goodchangestore.com/

Welcome to The Eric Ries Show. I sat down with Dustin Moskovitz, founder of not one but two iconic companies: Facebook and the collaborative work platform Asana. Needless to say, he's engaged in the most intense form of entrepreneurship there is. A huge part of what he's chosen to do with the hard-earned knowledge it gave him is dedicate himself and Asana to investing in employees' mental health, communication skills, and more. All of this matters to Dustin on a human level, but he also explains why putting people first is the only way to get the kind of results most founders can only dream of. We talked about how to get into that flow state, why preserving culture is crucial, his leadership style and how he decides when to be hands-on versus when to delegate, and how Asana reflects what he's learned about supporting people at all levels.  Dustin sums up the work Asana does this way: “Our individual practices are meant to restore coherence for the individual, our team practices are meant to restore coherence for the team, and Asana, the system, is meant to try and do it for the entire organization.” I'm delighted to share our conversation, which also covers: • How he uses AI and views its future • Why he founded a collaboration platform • How he applied the lessons of Facebook to building Asana • Why taking care of your mental health as a founder is crucial for the company as a whole • His thoughts on the evolution of Facebook • The importance of alignment with investors • His philanthropic work  • And so much more — Brought to you by: Mercury – The art of simplified finances.

Meet Philip Kennard — Founder and CEO of Futurestay. Growing up, Philip loved video games.  And for Philip, video games were about so much more than the playing experience…he loved the art, the logic, and the business behind creating worlds.  This love sparked his entrepreneurial spirit and led him to work in game development for Sega, one of the world's leading game design companies, and, eventually, would lead to the founding of FutureStay. In this conversation, Philip and I explore the evolution of the vacation rental market, discussing the critical role that small-scale rentalpreneurs play in driving innovation.

How technology, such as AI and automation, can level the playing field for small rental operators. Why delivering exceptional guest experiences is crucial for standing out in a crowded market.

It really is a hype game. And so I learned a lot around fundraising [at Aloha].” [0:17:12]“[To be] the Apple of anything – takes decades. You can't just do that [in a] matter of a year or two. But that's what we pitched [to] a lot of the investors. And so I think there was a bit of a disconnect there.” [0:18:43]“The main reason I started this business, [Plant People] is I had spinal surgery, [I had to] learn how to walk again.” [0:27:31]“My now co-founder also had a spinal surgery and was exploring plant-based modalities himself. And so we started together.” [0:28:01]“I had more passion for making an impact in people's lives.” [0:28:12]“We had so much pushback in the beginning because people didn't understand CBD. They thought it was weed. They thought it was THC, they were like, ‘Will I get high from this?' That was the biggest education point.” [0:30:59]“Tap into what customers want [and] are already [buying], [but do] it better.” [0:36:09]“In general, you just got to hustle. You have to go with momentum, you have to have a lot of boutiques [and] a lot of independents. And when you have that momentum, then you can get the attention of distributors.” [0:36:27]“The secret sauce is to be an entrepreneur – is to use the resources you don't have, to achieve what you believe in.” [0:37:56]“You can hire sales managers who have been in sales, and they have rolodexes. And that does help. But I think no one sells better than the founder or the CEO.” [0:39:39]“One of the things that is key to success is showing your team, or showing your initial hires, that you're all in.” [0:41:06]“If you're doing it, the team can do it. And if you're passionate about it, the team gets passionate about it, they see the value.” [0:43:09]

In this episode of the Label Free Podcast, host Deanna Radulescu interviews Sam Mandel, co-founder and CEO of Ketamine Clinics in Los Angeles. Sam shares his personal journey and passion for mental health advocacy, stemming from his own experiences with friends and family members who have struggled with mental health issues and addiction. He explains that ketamine, an FDA-approved anesthetic, is also an effective treatment for depression, PTSD, anxiety, and chronic pain. Sam emphasizes that ketamine treatment has a success rate of 83% and works much faster than conventional antidepressant medications. He also discusses the misconceptions surrounding ketamine and the challenges of raising awareness due to the lack of pharmaceutical marketing. Sam highlights the holistic approach of ketamine treatment, which promotes healing and enhances brain function without the long-term side effects of traditional medications. He also mentions the clinic's expansion to offer psychiatric med management and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as additional treatment options. Despite the stigma surrounding mental health, Sam encourages listeners to seek help and reminds them that there is always hope.
