Handpicked by the legendary George Balanchine, Mark's early life in the arts was tragically altered when he lost his mother and brother at a young age. Rather than let these hardships define him, Mark used them as a catalyst for resilience and community engagement. Now serving as a councilman in Cincinnati, he shares his insights on leadership, the importance of shared support, and the transformative power of personal stories. Mark discusses his transition from the arts to corporate leadership at Procter & Gamble, where he learned valuable lessons on authenticity and the significance of personal power. He also delves into his work with the nonprofit Go Vibrant, aimed at promoting active lifestyles, and his innovative tech startup that leverages AI for healthier decision-making. Join us for an enlightening conversation that underscores the necessity of community, the impact of civic responsibility, and the pursuit of purpose in all aspects of life.

PTSD Service Dogs, Trauma Resilience, and Community Support in Southern IllinoisJennifer Olson and Russell Williams host Small Town Big Business from downtown Marion, Illinois, and welcome Malia (pronounced “Maria”) Nicks to discuss ThisABLE Veteran, a local nonprofit celebrating 15 years. Founded by Behesha Doan, a former police canine handler with over 40 years of experience, the organization trains and places PTSD service dogs nationwide at no cost to veterans. Dogs are purchased as puppies with at least five generations of service-dog lineage and trained for 18–24 months, then matched to veterans through a national application and interview process with an emphasis on the wellbeing of both the veteran and the dog.Nix explains the nonprofit's Trauma Resilience Program: accepted veterans complete 10 weeks of weekly Zoom meetings with grounding and breathing techniques before arriving in Marion for a 21-day in-person stay on the organization's acreage outside town. The program focuses on skill-building rather than retelling trauma, and the team coordinates with veterans' clinicians. Service dogs are trained for anxiety alerts (e.g., responding to knee bouncing or jaw clenching) and nightmare interruption, with veterans taught movement and paced breathing to prevent escalation into flashbacks, rage, or other destructive outcomes.Behesha also operates Extreme Canine (public boarding and training) and created training academies to expand PTSD service-dog training nationally, including a basic academy and an annual masterclass requiring two years of experience. The episode covers how to distinguish legitimate service dogs from emotional support animals, including ADA access differences and the service dog's focus and responsiveness to its handler.Nix shares her “chapter two” journey from business development roles in architecture, finance, and school partnerships in Dallas to studying social work, experiences with family caregiving through the VA system, and suicide awareness work after her 17-year-old nephew died by suicide. She joined This Able Veteran after being asked to support suicide-related needs for the DoD-funded program, observed life changes in veterans during 2023 sessions, and later became executive director, relocating from Texas to Southern Illinois.The hosts discuss what Nix appreciates about Southern Illinois, including community events like the Heroes United Concert, outdoor access, local amenities, and kindness from residents. The conversation ends with ways the community can support This ABLE Veteran now that Department of Defense funding was not allocated for the current year: donations, fundraisers, supplies via a Chewy wishlist, airline and hotel points to offset travel and housing, meal support for veterans during 21-day stays and four-day refreshers, and volunteering. The website is thisableveteran.org; the application portal reopens March 1. The organization is active on Facebook and Instagram, plans for TikTok, is on LinkedIn, and offers a quarterly electronic newsletter plus limited mailed updates. Sponsors and Ethos/City of Marion contact information are also shared.Recorded at EThOs Small Business Incubator and Co-working Spaces in Marion, Illinois.https://members.ethosmarion.org/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTOur guest: https://thisableveteran.org/00:00 Welcome and Sponsors00:49 Meet Malia Nicks01:30 Mission and Service Dogs04:01 Trauma Resilience Program06:20 Bahaa Origins and Canine Expertise10:40 Grant Growth and Malia Journey17:28 Serving Veterans Nationwide18:18 Why Southern Illinois Feels Like Home21:39 Service Dog Legitimacy and Laws24:12 Spotting Real Service Dogs25:55 Handler Rights and Privacy26:43 Anxiety Alerts in Action29:19 Nightmare Interruption Tasks29:56 Best Breeds and Temperament31:29 Trainer Academies Nationwide32:46 Inside the Training Facility35:11 How the Community Can Help39:26 Support PTSD Without Judgment41:41 Stay Connected and Final Thanks

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The dream was simple: marry young, welcome children, and let love grow. Then biology didn't cooperate. Author and radio host Leigh Fitzpatrick Sneed joins us to unpack the hidden landscape of infertility—the grief, the pressure to “just do IVF,” the awkward silences at church, and the slow work of finding a path that honors both conscience and desire. Her story moves from clinic waiting rooms to a newborn domestic adoption that arrived in weeks, then to twins and another son, and finally to a broader truth: fruitfulness is more than pregnancy. It's the overflow of spousal love into family, parish, and community.We talk candidly about restorative reproductive medicine, the Creighton Model, and NaProTechnology—real care that seeks root causes without severing the unitive and procreative meanings of marriage. Leigh is clear-eyed: medicine can be hopeful and still hard, full of injections, surgeries, and timing that tests intimacy. Yet humor, friendship, and shared conviction can keep a couple together when the calendar takes over. We explore how to resist the glossy promises of IVF by understanding why it divides what belongs together and can treat children as products, not gifts.Purchase Infertile But Fruitful!

The organization has been serving the community since its inception and continues to support firefighters and first responders.First Responder Support Services - Rick explains that the organization supports first responders, particularly firefighters, by providing essential services mandated by federal law to reduce health risks associated with their work. They operate in Davidson County, serving 39 fire stations with two custom response vehicles, making around 400 responses annually. The vehicles are equipped with hydration supplies and warming beverages to help firefighters recover from stressful situations.Environmental Control and Emergency Services - Rick explained their environmental control equipment, including misting fans and heaters for extreme weather conditions in Tennessee. He describes their emergency response services, which include supporting various first responders like the Metro Nashville Police Department and Tennessee Highway Patrol, with approximately 400 responses in 2025.Volunteer-Powered - Box 55 Association has approximately 40 volunteer members who are available 24/7 to respond to emergencies via text, paging, and two-way radios on fire department frequencies. The first-line vehicle is staffed around the clock, and additional members respond in their personal vehicles to assist at the scene. Incidents can last anywhere from 30 minutes to multiple days, with an average duration of about two hours, though the longest response was 14.5 days during the Christmas Day bombing in December 2020.Support Strategies - Rick explains that he and his team receive constant positive feedback from first responders and community agencies. He emphasizes the importance of their work in supporting first responders during emergencies, including reducing physiological and psychological stress. Rick also describes their partnership with the National Fire Department EMS team, who provide medical support on scene. Jeremy asks how the community can support their efforts, and Rick suggests volunteerism and financial donations as ways for people to get involved.Volunteer Requirements and Financial Independence - Rick explains that volunteers for their organization just need to be physically capable and available to respond to calls, with training provided internally. He emphasizes that while a driver's license is required, no specialized license is needed, and senior volunteers are available to mentor others. Rick also discusses their financial independence as a 501c3, noting they rely on donations from various sources including unions and individuals, with significant expenses for maintaining two trucks and feeding crews during long operations.Community Support for First Responders - Rick discusses the challenges faced by first responders in the community, highlighting the breadth of incidents and the heroism displayed by firefighters, police officers, and EMS personnel. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the difficult situations they face and the need for community support to help them perform their duties effectively. Rick also stresses that while donations and support are crucial, they ultimately benefit the individuals on the front lines who risk their lives to save others. Rick encourages viewers and listeners to visit their website, Box55.org, to learn more about their work and get involved through volunteering or donating.Visit https://box55.org to learn more and to get involved with Box 55 Association.https://www.facebook.com/box55association/?ref=br_rs

After a harrowing rock climbing accident, Whitney not only confronted her mortality but also rediscovered the profound importance of family and the lessons that come from our mistakes. Main Content: Section 1: The Family Lab - A New Approach to Parenting Whitney Archibald, a seasoned mother of five, has transformed her experiences into a valuable resource for families. With children ranging from 10 to 20 years old, she understands the evolving dynamics of family life. After her youngest began preschool, Whitney reignited her passion for writing, leading to her blog, "How She Moms," which eventually evolved into the podcast, "The Family Lab." She explains, "Family life is all an experiment, and we are just throwing things at the wall, trying to see what sticks." This refreshing perspective encourages parents to embrace the chaos and recognize that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to parenting. Section 2: The Unthinkable Accident On a seemingly ordinary day in July 2023, Whitney embarked on a rock climbing excursion with her children and nieces. Despite her cautious nature, a moment of oversight led to a life-altering fall. "I pride myself on being a safe climber," she recalls, but a simple mistake—failing to double-check her gear—resulted in a catastrophic 30-foot drop. As she lay on the ground, grappling with immense pain, her mind raced through a mix of emotions, including disbelief and regret. Section 3: A Moment of Clarity In the chaos following her fall, Whitney experienced an unexpected spiritual revelation. "I felt reassurance right away after I was feeling so much shame," she shared. Despite the physical agony, she found solace in knowing she was going to survive. This moment of clarity shifted her focus from despair to the practicalities of her situation. In the midst of pain and uncertainty, Whitney prioritized her family, even asking her sister to cancel upcoming appointments. Section 4: The Healing Journey Whitney's recovery was fraught with challenges, but her resilience shone through. With numerous injuries, including a broken pelvis and vertebrae, she faced a long road to healing. Throughout this journey, Whitney remained focused on her role as a mother and the lessons she wanted to impart to her children. Her experience serves as a poignant reminder that life can change in an instant, but our connections with loved ones can provide the strength to persevere. Conclusion: Key Takeaways Whitney Archibald's story is not just about overcoming adversity; it is a powerful reminder of the importance of connection, the value of vulnerability, and the necessity of embracing life's unpredictability. As she continues to share her insights through "The Family Lab," she encourages parents to experiment with their approaches and to remember that mistakes are part of the journey. Life's challenges may be daunting, but they also offer opportunities for growth, resilience, and deeper connections with those we love.

Carrie Ducote is a nonprofit executive, strategist, and animal-welfare leader with over 15 years of experience helping shelters transform their operations, culture, and community impact. In this episode, Carrie shares her journey from volunteering at a small rural shelter to leading national animal welfare initiatives and founding her consulting company, Shelter Savvy.We talk candidly about what really happens inside animal shelters, why euthanasia is often misunderstood, and how community-centered solutions can dramatically reduce suffering for both animals and staff.

Abhay shares a chat with pioneering polar explorer Preet Chandi.  Born and raised in Derby in England, Preet is a British Army officer, a physiotherapist, and a record‑breaking adventure athlete who became the first woman of color to complete a solo expedition to the South Pole. She has since gone on to break multiple Guinness World Records for solo, unsupported Antarctic ski expeditions, using her journeys to challenge perceived norms about who belongs in extreme adventure environments and to inspire others to push their own boundaries. Preet shares her journey of adventure, the importance of discipline over motivation, and how her cultural heritage and community support fuel her expeditions. She discusses the challenges of preparation, facing fears, and the vulnerability that comes with pushing boundaries. Preet emphasizes the significance of learning from failures and the need for self-acceptance in achieving success. Preet encourages all of us to take our first steps in finding and realizing our own adventures, no matter how daunting they may seem.(0:00 - 2:34) Introduction(2:34) Part 1 - Everyday rituals and adventures, Training and resilience(13:02) Sponsor break: Travelopod(13:37) Part 2 - Dealing with miscues and fear, Ambition and humility,  Identity and Fundraising(29:45) Sponsor break: Timberdog(30:16) Part 3 - Fragility on a Polar Expedition, The meaning of Adventure and Exploring(38:35) ConclusionPlease help support Preet on her next journey to become the first woman to travel solo to the North Pole: https://www.gofundme.com/f/next-expeditionTRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING is brought to you by TRAVELOPOD, with personalized travel support to help you explore the wonders of the world.  Start your next journey at vacation.travelopod.comThis episode is also sponsored by RuffRest® , the only dog bed you'll ever need.  Go to www.timberdog.com to learn more

Today's episode is not the one I planned to release. I was supposed to share an interview I was excited about, but it didn't feel right to move forward after the tragic killings by ICE agents in Minnesota. Families are grieving. Communities are scared. And pretending everything is normal felt like the wrong move.In this solo emergency episode, I speak honestly about not having the right words, but choosing to not stay silent. The Healthy Project was created to shine a light on the systems that harm people, and what happened in Minnesota is not just a headline. It is state violence. It is the predictable result of a system built on fear and enforcement.This episode is about sitting with discomfort, naming what's happening, and turning awareness into action. I share why immigration enforcement has always been violent, why no human being deserves to die because of documentation status, and what you can do right now to support impacted communities.We talk about:The ICE killings in Minnesota and why this matters to all of usHow silence protects harmful systemsThe human cost behind immigration enforcementWays you can take action through education, mutual aid, and community supportThis is a heavy episode. But it's a necessary one. You don't need perfect words to show up. You just need to refuse to look away. ★ Support this podcast ★

Notes Matthew 5:1-12 Micah 6:1-8 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Robb McCoy explore the Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew, Micah 6's call for justice and humility, and the message of the cross in 1 Corinthians. They discuss the importance of community relationships in ministry, the depth of the Beatitudes, and the implications of Micah's message for contemporary faith practice. The conversation emphasizes the need for justice, mercy, and humility in the Christian life, while also addressing the foolishness of worldly wisdom in light of God's truth. Takeaways The Beatitudes highlight the values of the Kingdom of God. Building relationships with other Christian communities is essential for support during crises. Micah 6 emphasizes justice, mercy, and humility as core requirements from God. The message of the cross challenges worldly wisdom and power structures. Preachers should focus on the heart of the Beatitudes rather than just the text. Community support is vital for those mourning or in need. The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom. God chooses the lowly and foolish to confound the wise. The Beatitudes can be explored in depth, offering rich material for sermons. Understanding the context of scripture enhances its application in today's world.

Jann, Caitlin, and Sarah start with a little positivity with some personal updates. Jann is recording from Reykjavik, working on her book, while Caitlin recounts heartwarming moments from her son's playdates, and Sarah shares her excitement about winning a Canadian Choice Award for Women in Media Network.  The trio also touches on Alzheimer's Awareness Month, discussing a unique restaurant in Tokyo that employs servers with dementia, creating a space for empathy and understanding.  Caitlin details the concept of 'choppelganger,' a humorous take on lookalikes, and the amusing experiences of being mistaken for someone else. The trio also  dives into a Reddit thread discussing common misconceptions and habits that are actually universal. Does the sun make you sneeze? Are you someone who doesn't get goosebumps? The also hosts dive into the surprisingly dangerous world of seemingly harmless sports, sharing personal anecdotes; Jann recounts her painful experience with pickleball and even feeding the deer in her yard. Finally, they consider how they'd feel if they were mislead to believe someone who had hair was actually bald, discussing a man who was sued by his wife for being secretly bald. Would you sue?

My close friend Christine came over on New Year's Day and we caught up on what's ahead. We talk about friendship, big life transitions, and the constant evolution we all experience. She's candid about how she's changed creatively, professionally, and personally, including navigating freelance work amid uncertainty, and her excitement about becoming a parent and how pregnancy has unexpectedly fueled her productivity. We reflect on our last interviews, what she's learned since, and the importance of staying adaptable. She's quietly shown me how to move through change with poise and loved getting to have a time capsule conversation of this time in her life. It's a warm, reflective conversation about staying adaptable, new beginnings and staying on nodding terms with past versions of ourselves.

Ned Heads we are BACK! This week we take a thoughtful (and occasionally awkwardly funny) walk down memory lane—touching on our podcast journey since 2023, the Chinese zodiac, travel mishaps, and big-picture life lessons—before diving into the very real and very complicated situation surrounding former co-star Tylor Chase. We unpack addiction, mental health, public perception, and why compassion with boundaries is harder than it sounds but way more effective than yelling in a comments section. Along the way, we talk community support, recovery, acting, parenting wisdom you don't get in baby books, and our new film Rescued, which explores homelessness and addiction with heart. We wrap the episode with New Year tips focused on self-care, personal growth, and remembering that healing—like this podcast—isn't a straight line, but it's better with people in your corner.Check out the trailer for Rescued here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nWkzCa_EmU Learn more about your ad choices.
