Dancers Against Cancer Amanda Meek Today we bring you Amanda Meek of Dancers Against Cancer, an organization founded in 2012 when a member of their team was diagnosed and ultimately lost her battle with brain cancer. Cancer is a huge problem in the world today and is often classified accurately as an epidemic. The dancing community is largely made up of self-employed individuals - and when a cancer diagnosis comes, there are no sick days to turn to - and little insurance in place. Dancers Against Cancer provides assistance and support to dancers and their families who are dealing with the reality of a cancer diagnosis. Dancing studios have the opportunity to support the cause by becoming a "Hope Studio" with an annual $1,000 donation. The community of Hope Studios is active and supportive. Studios often host an annual event, special show or do something similar to raise the funds, usually exceeding the goal and these funds, in turn, are used to save a life. Watch this video to see how much good this nonprofit and your support can provide. We're thrilled to bring you this amazing story and encourage you to follow and support the cause in any way that you can. Share this episode to spread the word. Be inspired. Give.

She then got recruited by Adobe and moved up to San Jose. Terri comments on how Amanda takes advantage of and creates opportunities for herself. 11 years ago, Amanda was an athlete in good health and started getting ill. After collapsing she found out that a virus had attacked her blood and ultimately led to her organs shutting down. She was in the hospital for 6-9 months. She later learned that her heart valves were damaged by the virus and that they were failing which lead to open heart surgery Amanda was a medical anomaly because of the virus and the treatment, and she had many people studying and following her. Amanda shares who was there to support her during her illness and recovery. She had to embrace vulnerability. Amanda remembers her life before the illness. Her essence didn’t change but she found herself seeking high quality, deep substance people with heart. Her life before was all about competency. Her life after became more about heart and not just skill, which ended up changing her life. She became more recognized because of her personal story which she uses to inspire others. People now get to know her for more than her skills. Amanda is working with ESPN BisTalk Radio. She wants to do an inspirational series for women to share their stories. She is creating a speaker series on ‘Women of Impact’. She finds that women talk about taking action to inspire others, to be proactive, to turn their potential into action.

Terri has seen a few startups that are helping veterans bridge the gap between military and civilian work. Companies like Skillmil and Shift are helping with this. Terri comments on how impressed she is with UCSD and its support of the startup ecosystem. Amanda said that UCSD also supports veterans. There is a significant number of veterans in the San Diego area. Amanda is an advisor for EvoNexus (an incubator/accelerator) and the Founder Institute in San Diego. Transformation is an important concept for Amanda. She has been through several transformations and which led to coaching others on transforming. She loves seeing both enterprise transformation (through M&A) and individuals transform. If Amanda could wave a magic wand, she would create a future where entrepreneurs and businesses come in all varieties and embrace their responsibility to co-create for equality and social good. Terri asks how we can help with this wish. Amanda said that companies should be filling out the diversity of their teams. As investors, we should invest in companies who are working towards more diverse teams and products. Terri’s Key Takeaway If the opportunities aren’t there, create them. If the opportunities present themselves, take them.

Bee Work Bonus! Experience an apiary through your ears! Last week in Episode 44, we met Amanda Welch of Grubby Girl. Bee farmer and charmer. This week, we're donning our suits and heading out into the field to check on the hives. Because beekeeping is not a weekend hobby. Bees live precarious and fragile lives these days. It takes a lot of work to keep the immune systems of bees thriving and the hives healthy. So if you've ever wondered what an apiary sounds like, join us! Follow along on our journey by using the photographs below. Or if you're listening in your car or on the treadmill, just enjoy the sounds of bees, birds, doggies and the occasional Spring breeze. Trust me, it's good for whatever ails you. I walked away from this experience feeling like I'd just taken a 2-hour meditation class. Favorite parts? I learned what a bee "traffic jam" sounds like. Whether bees are calm or agitated, you can really hear the difference. Did you know each queen has a name? Beatrix was my personal favorite. After taking Amanda's class in March, having this 360-degree experience was a field trip for the mind and soul. Interested in learning more? Contact Amanda to find out more about the bee classes she teaches at the Jefferson School in Charlottesville, Virginia. Then go buy some honey or bath products to round out your apiary experience. Grubby Girl products are sold at the Saturday City Market, the Thursday UVA market, and on her website. This is meant as a companion piece to Episode 44, which I'm posting as an experimental, experiential "bonus". Because I've got big dreams about expanding Edacious. Finding a dedicated podcast space. Getting better equipment. Maybe even renovating a food truck or "Canned Ham" to take to festivals for live events. Would you pay $.99 for an episode like this? Buzz at me in the comments. Cheers!
