So being able to outline a vision of where you want to go, a plan, to articulate a plan."  15:51-16:22 "I think it starts with education, especially for young people. We're in an era of name, image, and likeness opportunities, and the social media boom has opened so many doors. It's incredible to see young athletes, even as early as high school, learning to leverage these opportunities to build something lasting for their future." 20:55-21:20 "One of the great things about sport is how it humbles you naturally. Being part of a team teaches you that your success relies on others. It's about understanding the necessity of working together, recognizing the value of everyone's contributions, and staying grounded in the process." _____________________________________ Quotes "The power of sport is its ability to bring communities together, regardless of background or beliefs."

Colleen Echohawk   A mission for shared prosperity, cultural representation, and impactful community work. Colleen Echohawk is a self-described aggressive optimist, incredible extrovert, and someone who sees the glass as not only half full, but overflowing with abundance. For her, the whole damn pie means having a lot of joy. Filling her life with beautiful dog walks, hanging with family and friends, singing karaoke, reading good books, and watching shows with her husband.   Doesn't seem too much to ask right? But she's also a believer in shared prosperity and she's not afraid to step up and do the scary things in life—whether that's running for mayor of Seattle, building housing units for Seattle's urban native homeless, or running a native retail business. Over the last two decades, Colleen has done all this and so much more as part of her commitment to helping marginalized populations and native prosperity. Key Takeaways:Native disparity: In King County, less than 1% of the population are native, yet they make up over 15% of the homeless population.  Inspiring her kids: Colleen's passionate about helping her children to understand truth, showing them that native people can be in office, and teaching them to not be afraid to take risks.Changing the native narrative: She's CEO of Eighth Generation, a Seattle-based art and lifestyle brand that is creating products by inspired natives, not native-inspired products.  The Whole Pie means joy: Listen in for how Colleen achieves the whole damn pie. If you enjoy listening, be sure to follow us so you're the first to know when we add new episodes.

Lia also discusses coordinating the Sustainable Transportation Equity Project (STEP) grant implementation in the City of Commerce, and helping lead project implementation efforts for the Baldwin Hills Community Resilience and Access Plan, as well as the South LA Eco-Lab Transformative Climate Communities grant.They also discuss tools for displacement avoidance, grassroots environmental justice efforts, and creating vibrant communities with access.

Today, Debbie talks with Sarah Fay, an award-winning author, writing teacher, and keynote speaker whose work has been featured in and on NPR, Oprah Daily, Forbes, The Los Angeles Times, and more. Her journalistic memoir Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses (HarperCollins, 2022) was an Apple Best Books pick and was hailed in The New York Times as a “fiery manifesto of a memoir.” Her sequel memoir, called Cured, tells the story of Sarah's full recovery from serious mental illness and how recovery is possible for everyone. You can find it on her Substack as an exclusive publication.She writes for many publications, including The New York Times, The Atlantic, Time, and The Paris Review, where she was an advisory editor. Her essays have been chosen as a Notable Mention in Best American Essays and nominated for Pushcart Prizes. As a teacher, she's on the faculty at Northwestern University and runs Writers at Work, a weekly publication, along with workshops, to help writers produce their best work on Substack and get paid (very) well to do it. Her master plan is to make Substack the literary center of the universe. Today, Debbie and Sarah talk about the parallels between her work as an author, her journey from misdiagnosis to recovery from serious mental illness and her work as a teacher for Substack writers. They touch on emotional literacy, the prerequisites for healing from mental illness, how to deal with anxieties as writers, what Substack is and who it is for and what Sarah loves the most about helping writers.  //////////Don't miss the Behind The Scenes for every episode in Debbie's [B]OLD AGE newsletter. ////////// Mentioned in this episode or useful:Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses by Sarah Fay (‎HarperOne, 2022)Cured - The Memoir, serialized on SubstackSarah Fay on NPR - Best Of: Diagnosing Mental Health and 'A Molecule Away from Madness' and Without a biological basis, how reliably can we diagnose and treat mental illness? Community of Substack Writers run by Sarah: Substack Writers at WorkSarah's website: https://sarahfay.org/Thomas Insel, MD, former director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and author of Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health (Penguin Press, 2022) where he mentions the 3 Ps Sarah talks about on this episode. Connect with Debbie:debbieweil.com[B]OLD AGE podcast[B]OLD AGE newsletter on SubstackEmail: thebolderpodcast@gmail.comDebbie and Sam's blog: Gap Year After SixtyInstagram: @debbieweilLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/debbieweil Our Media Partners:CoGenerate (formerly Encore.org)MEA and with thanks to Chip ConleyNext For Me (former media partner and in memory of Jeff Tidwell) How to Support this podcast:Leave a review on Apple PodcastsSubscribe Credits:Host: Debbie WeilProducer: Far Out MediaMusic: Lakeside Path by Duck Lake

Not only is Sam an extremely knowledgeable program and experience designer, but she's also the co-owner of a record label and she's an adjunct professor at Loyola's Quinlan School of Business. And that's just scratching the surface!We started off by defining program design and experience design, and from there Sam talked about her label, Rosedale Collective, and her dedication to showcasing BIPOC voices in country music. She also dove into her previous work at The Obama Foundation, and how that opened her world to the importance of design in project management and social innovation (and for starting her own company, Viotty Design Studio). Sam even talked a bit about her current role at Adobe, and shared her plans on what she hopes to accomplish in the near future.Sam's career is a lesson in how we can all reshape our perspective on the conventional borders of design — something important to learn in this ever-changing world!LinksSam Viotty on InstgaramSam Viotty on LinkedInSam Viotty on Twitter / XFor a full transcript of this interview, visit revisionpath.com.==========Donate to Revision PathFor 10 years, Revision Path has been dedicated to showcasing Black designers and creatives from all over the world.
