Podcast appearances and mentions of courtney roberts

BIG NEWS on Little Talks this week—Courtney Roberts is making her podcast debut! After 14 years at the agency, she's finally stepping behind the mic to talk about something that's transforming the industry: AI in visual branding.Courtney and the gang get into how AI-powered tools are changing the way brands create visuals, from Photoshop enhancements to automated design platforms. While AI can speed up production and cut costs, it also comes with challenges—like the risk of generic, uninspired designs. AI can do 80% of the work, but should be used as a tool and not a replacement.Catch us next week!–Brandon, Courtney, Sam, Roop, Claud & BrendaTell us what you think!

Ayla was temporarily placed in the care of her father, Justin DiPietro, by a Maine Department of Human Services employee named Karen Small. It has been reported by relatives that Small opted not to conduct a home visit before Ayla's placement, raising concerns about the decision-making process involved. At the time, Ayla's mother, Trista Reynolds, was nearby and claimed she was en route to a rehabilitation facility to address her heroin addiction. Tragically, Ayla was reported missing from her bed on December 17, 2011. DiPietro told the police that the last time he saw his daughter, she was dressed in green polka dot pajamas emblazoned with "Daddy's Princess" and had a soft cast on her left arm. At the time of her disappearance, two other individuals were present in the home: DiPietro's girlfriend, Courtney Roberts, and his sister, Elisha DiPietro. In May 2012, state police held a press conference to share updates regarding the investigation into Ayla's disappearance. Among the significant findings was the discovery of a substantial amount of blood in DiPietro's residence, which was confirmed to be over a cupful of Ayla's blood, located near DiPietro's bed. The investigators noted that the quantity of blood found was inconsistent with what would be expected from a minor injury, leading to heightened scrutiny of the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. Despite the alarming evidence, DiPietro remained silent about the incident for nearly three weeks, prompting Ayla's mother to accuse him of concealing critical information. Almost a year later, in October 2012, police conducted a second search of Messalonskee Stream for Ayla's remains after construction workers lowered the water level in the area. Unfortunately, this search yielded no new evidence. While DiPietro has not faced any charges related to Ayla's case, both state investigators and Trista Reynolds have voiced their suspicions regarding his transparency about the events leading to his daughter's disappearance. The ongoing investigation continues to cast a shadow over the family, as the search for answers remains unresolved --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/locatingthelost/support

VERY SMART!  SMARTfit, a gamified system that simultaneously strengthens the brain and body is one of a kind. Why is it so groundbreaking? It's dual-tasking neuro-rehabilitation & fitness technology which 'rapidly' enhances cognitive function & physical mobility by training the brain & body to work more efficiently together.  The technology is cutting edge. It's attracting huge interest from those in the areas of physical & occupational therapy, long-term care, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities. Also wellness facilities, those in pediatrics who help kids with sensory processing disorders, and therpaists who focus on 'return to play' sports rehabilitation. Courtney Robert's, one of those tireless and brave nurses who stayed on the Covid front lines, is now on team SMARTfit. SMARTfit created the technology now being sold nationally through NEUROfitUSA in Long Beach, NY. Courtney is passionate SMARTFit is a game changer and she joined me live on The Debbie Nigro Show to share why those in the healthcare field and in the school systems should pay attention to this groundbreaking technology. Enjoy the podcast of our conversation above but if you'd rather read the story the transcript of our live conversation is below. *********************************************************************************************** TRANSCRIPT Of Audio Interview 0:00:00 And now, back to the Debbie Nigro Show. 0:00:03 Oh my gosh, I'm in the house. Hi everybody, I'm Debbie Nigro. 0:00:27 Good to be with you guys this morning. You know, I love smart stuff. And I read about something very smart as a result of being turned on to it by the gal who's in studio with me right now, Courtney Roberts. Hi, Courtney. 1 0:01:00 Hey, how you doing? 2 0:01:01 Boy, you're cute and so nursey. I love your nursey outfit. I feel safe because I'm neurotic and I always like being next to a nurse. Thank you for doing what you've been doing for everybody in life and through the pandemic. You know, I talked to your mom is how I met you and she said you were in there with the, you know, on the front lines of COVID. I go, what a girl, man. What a girl. Thank you. You're welcome. From all of us who needed you all. OK, so we're here because you found something that really intrigued you. Yeah, that was that you're passionate about now. It's a new technology called Smart Fit. And from what I understand, and I did my homework, which is, you know, good because I like to know what I'm talking about. It's a gamified system that simultaneously strengthens the brain and the body. Yes. And it's one-of-a-kind and it's for neuro rehabilitation and fitness and what it does for you know for lots of different applications is rapidly and that's the word enhance cognitive function and physical mobility by training the brain and the body to work more efficiently together. So I'm looking at all the pictures I put up and guys you might want to check this out at at the real Debbie Nigro on Instagram and also on my Facebook page the Debbie Nigro show to see the technology visually it's um how to describe it 1 0:02:13 because you'll better describe it than me. You know what it really depends on what generation you are but if you're a millennial I like to say do you remember Dance Dance Revolution if you're a Gen Xer I like to say, do you remember Whack-A-Mole? 2 0:02:28 That's a really great, awesome explanation. I'm a boomer. 9 0:02:34 What are you? 1 0:02:34 I'm a millennial. 4 0:02:36 Oh, good. 2 0:02:37 But I like the generational interaction and explanation. I think it's important to share how important this is across generations who struggle with different things, even children who have issues with sensory issues and people who are going through sports rehab and seniors who are trying to keep their balance and assisted living facilities who are trying to make sure that their residents stay healthy and function. And what this is doing is revolutionary from what you've educated me about. 1 0:03:11 Correct. I really love this technology and it's incredibly versatile. So you can have everything from early intervention, children, kids love it, to adult professional athletes and then of course, you know, your senior, your sophisticated populations as I like to say, where you're working on dementia, you're working on Parkinson's, you can work on MS, you can work on different aspects. It's fantastic for learning differences. Kids with autism, adults with autism, anybody with autism really responds to 2 0:03:46 this technology. So what people get would buy one of these machines or rent one of the machines or go to a place that has one of these machines and sign up for specific classes or you're looking for therapists to get this and bring it on board or schools or what are you looking and hoping to be the outcome of this conversation? 1 0:04:05 I mean all the things and again that goes into the absolute versatility of this machine. So yes, it can be used for personal use. Therapists can use it. You can use it just for fitness and wellness classes. We also have a franchise model that we're launching as well. It's great in schools. It's great in children's daycares, adult daycares, medical settings, physical therapy offices. I mean it's great for everyone and it's great for every setting. If you've got a body and you got 2 0:04:34 a brain, it's for you. I got a body and a brain. I don't know if they don't always work together anymore as evidenced by the big boo-boos I keep getting. I guess I'm a candidate. Yeah, we'll get you on Smart Fit. It really did intrigue me because you know I'm an athlete by by nature. Certainly. But as time is going on I'm not spending as much time doing that athlete stuff and I find myself being a little concerned about being one of those people. Like, oh look at her, she should have taken better care of herself. And it's just about balance and coordination and strength. Who has taken this already? Who has it in place and is using 1 0:05:06 it? Actually, the school districts in New Rochelle has it. In my hometown? Yeah, right down the street from us. So they have it. They have I think some older models We also have a great physical therapy office Hands of Hope that has it in Brooklyn. Shout to them. They're great. Yeah 2 0:05:23 But this is a national launch. Yes, and you guys as I understand it under the umbrella of Neurofit, yes, which is a national distribution arm of Smart Fit. You guys are handling that out of Long Beach, New York. That's correct. 1 0:05:40 Okay, so what's going on in Long Beach, New York? So we have a beautiful multifunctional office where we have all the different Smart Fit models. There's about three different types, four different types, and we're using it for wellness classes. So you can drop in, take a class, you can come in and do physical therapy. You can also come in and if you're an organization that's interested in seeing 6 0:06:05 this 1 0:06:06 you can come in and we can tour you, show you and demonstrate the machinery and then also we do Zoom demos, so if you can't make it you can always do a Zoom. 2 0:06:16 What kind of companies have been responding to this? Are you getting the reaction from the long-term health care facilities, from the rehab locations? Because this is fascinating to me. 8 0:06:28 Correct. 2 0:06:29 Yeah. It's just about educating people. Yeah. And getting the word out about it, which I'm helping you do right now, because I said, wow, I never heard of this. 1 0:06:35 Yeah, it's relatively new, and that's one of the things that we're trying to do, is we're trying to get this concept of dual tasking that promotes neuroplasticity and helps build more, better, stronger neural pathways in conjunction with the physical movement. 2 0:06:50 So you're saying that by using the brain and the body together, which this machine forces you to do in a really fun way, your body responds in a very different way than just doing physical exercise or just doing a mental exercise. Correct. 1 0:07:02 So, you know, when having this really fun, novel experience, you get these, like, endorphins going, right? I know about endorphins and fun and novel. So, you know, your dopamine, your serotonin, and your adrenaline, epinephrine, so all these chemicals come together and they start working on your brain and they do these neurochemical changes in your brain and you start getting more and different pathways. So the way that I like to think about it is... 2 0:07:29 In the hippocampus, by the way. 1 0:07:32 Everywhere. 7 0:07:33 Wait a minute, stop there. 1 0:07:34 Even if executive functioning in the front of the brain. 2 0:07:35 Really? Because I always thought, I know it was a big no-it-all about the brain, Bob's helping, you know, we can take a different road to work and let's create a new pathway in your hippocampus, you know. It's like walking on the same rug all the time. Let's take a new rug, you know, and you wear out a rug from doing the same thing over and over. You're just saying that it affects all the different pathways of the brain? 6 0:07:54 Yes. 1 0:07:55 So, it's, because it's a game, it's got visual effects, it's got sound effects, you've got that tactile response. So you're working on, executive functioning is made up of seven or eight different type of categories. And so not only are you working on learning different things and if you're a kid you can go in and learn your colors on it, learn your multiplication, learn your ABCs, right? 2 0:08:20 That would be so fun for kids. 1 0:08:21 Right, I mean you can go up to square roots. But you're also exercising your eyes and tracking and using sports vision. You're also doing organization, cognitive flexibility, impulse control, great for kids with ADD that have to do impulse control. So you're working on executive functioning as well. So it's using a lot of different portions of your brain. Also using right and left, using both your hands, you're using your feet, you're moving on three different planes of motion. So it's a really dynamic machine. So you're using multiple parts of your brain, which lies the challenge. And I go on and I go on this stability machine called a Cortex and I call it the flying saucer. It's on these ball bearings and it goes in 360 directions and it mimics the feeling of surfing. And so here I am trying to do this whack-a-mole game. And, um... 2 0:09:18 While you're surfing. 1 0:09:19 While I'm surfing. 2 0:09:20 My kind of girl. 1 0:09:21 And trying to use, and listening to the sounds and the cues and here I am, you know, back and forth, wobbling all over the place. I'm trying to balance my body, but use my brain. And it's, and you're, once you get a hold of your balance, then you gotta use your brain and you're trying to use all these things all at once. And you're just straight cheesing on the thing. You know, you're just smiling all the time. 2 0:09:39 That's great. 1 0:09:40 And it's just, it's so much fun. 2 0:09:41 So there are three size machines I happen to see. Is anybody promoting it to be in anybody's home? 1 0:09:47 Could someone own one of these things? 5 0:09:49 Yeah, absolutely. 2 0:09:50 If I had a kid who had some issues, I'd want to have one of these in my house. Yes. Okay, that's number one. Yeah. Are you promoting it to, again, does it fit everywhere? And like, is it an assistant living facility or? Yes. Yeah, they fit everywhere. Yes. 1 0:10:04 And they don't look too big. No, they're not They're not terribly big. They're adjustable. You can adjust the height So if you have a decent wall space, I'd say like a 6x6 wall space you can do that Our most most portable model is the strike pods. That's great for schools. It's Pretty affordable. It's an investment, but it's pretty affordable when it comes to equipment, you can move it around, you can use those pods and put it against, or around rather, our larger models and get a 360 type of setup. 2 0:10:36 Yeah, the schools should really look into this. This is big time game changer for a lot of the kids who would find this fascinating and also, you know, just enjoyable while they're getting, you know, increasing their ability to do all things better, I would imagine, right? 1 0:10:50 You can take them outside, they run on battery. So you just plug them into the wall, and a USB charger, you take them out, you can play them on the beach, you can play them in the parks, great for parks and recreation. 2 0:11:00 Oh, that's very cool. 1 0:11:01 Yeah, get the kids up and do it in a relay, it's fantastic for individuals, and it's great for groups. 2 0:11:07 I read that it was invented by a woman. 1 0:11:09 Yes, Kathy. 2 0:11:10 Yeah, I want to give a shout out to her. Oh yeah. Obviously, her idea wasn't just an idea, she took it to this whole level. Yeah. And where is home base for this company? 1 0:11:18 I'm California. Ventura. Very cool. So she's out. She's out my old place where I did all my COVID work. Where is that? California. Yeah. So I came back from California to New York. Well, I mean, I lived I lived right down the street from you. And then I went out. They were looking for nurses. And that's right. Yeah. And I got in with a traveling first response like crisis nursing agency. 2 0:11:43 Do you have PTSD from that experience? 1 0:11:46 No I miss it. 2 0:11:47 Really? I miss it. What kind of woman are you? Holy cow. 1 0:11:51 Crazy woman. 4 0:11:52 That's why I got into nursing. 2 0:11:53 I mean I would have been a great nurse because I have the heart for it. Yeah. 1 0:11:57 I just don't have the guts for it. 2 0:11:58 Yeah. And you must have giant guts. 1 0:12:00 You know what, I worked with a really fantastic group of people, a fantastic doctor, Dr. Ryan, who's no longer with us unfortunately. He suffered an incident over in Africa. But we were all in it together and there was this fantastic camaraderie. And I was working alongside the military and it was just such a new experience and it really brought back my confidence. As a nurse I had worked in the hospital scene and gotten really ground down with that. And so to get out and really do something where it mattered in a big way. Yeah, it really mattered and we were really we were truly rescuing people. We were going in when everybody was running out because I was so scared. I know, I got chills thinking about 2 0:12:44 back to it. It's almost like what was that as we all try and act normal again, when it was hardly normal. Yeah. And it's hard to recover from what we just have all been through. Yeah. I think what you're working on now is very meaningful. Yeah. And for you to take a pivot, if you will. Yeah. And go from that feeling of, wow, what you did and thinking this is something. Yeah. I could tell you have a high integrity. This is this is you got my attention. 1 0:13:11 I think this is going to get out of get us out of the issues that came with lockdown and kovat Especially with the kiddos being isolated for so long. Let me tell you something 2 0:13:20 I am concerned about the kids because they missed a natural evolution Yeah in their timeline. Yeah of growth personally in and in connection with other children, I mean they've missed this opportunity to to figure out how it goes and it's going to carry on. So you think this is helpful? 1 0:13:40 Yeah, I mean, so we've got to catch the kids up, okay, in terms of their physical, their emotional, their intellectual abilities and being able to, I mean, there's just something, there's like a je ne sais quoi talking to the teachers. We have so many teachers in our neighborhood. So I think it's really going to help the kids progress and get them back where they need to be after COVID. 2 0:14:06 Wow. Nobody has said a louder statement to me this week, and I'm very concerned about it. Thank you so much for getting in touch. 3 0:14:13 Yeah. 2 0:14:14 Thank you to your mom. Just give her a shout out. Yeah, Mom. Thanks, Mom. Hey, Sandy. Pennsylvania. It was odd how she and I just met and we had a nice glass of wine and we fell in love and became friends. So congratulations to you. Where can everybody find out more about Smart Fit and reach you? Go ahead. 1 0:14:30 Yeah, so they can give us a call at 888-445-7666. You can give us a call there.

Ayla Reynolds was just shy of 2-years-old when her father, Justin DiPietro, called 911 on the morning of December 17th, 2011 in Waterville, Maine to report her missing. His story was that she'd been abducted from her crib in the middle of the night by an unknown intruder while the three adults in the house were sleeping. Ayla Reynolds never came back home. Ayla's disappearance sparked a national media storm, catapulting a grieving mother into the spotlight. Trista Reynolds, who wasn't there the night her daughter went missing, believed she wasn't getting the full story from Ayla's father. Eventually police believed it too, and announced this was no longer the search for missing child... but rather, foul play. What is Justin DiPietro, Elisha DiPietro, and Courtney Roberts hiding? The search for Ayla Reynolds is the largest criminal investigation in Maine state history and to this day, her case remains unsolved. This past week marked a tragic anniversary for the little girl's disappearance. This is the latest information on the Ayla Reynolds case.

A case that defies logic.  A 20 month old baby disappears from her dad's house. The investigation revealed that there were no signs of break in, The police bluntly say that they have not received the whole truth in this case. Three adults were home in a tiny cottage. Justin DiPietro, Ayla's dad was present, his sister and Justin's girlfriend, Courtney Roberts were also present in the home. The baby's disappearance came on the heels of the mom's effort to regain sole custody, due to Ayla turning up with a broken arm, within two days of filing the appropriate court request, Ayla went missing and has never been seen again, despite the largest police investigation in Maine state history. A massive search was under taken looking for little Ayla. Those efforts were futile.  A significant amount of Ayla's blood was found in the basement.  Ayla Reynolds has never been found and police say the case remains open and active.

As teacherpreneurs, it's important we stay current with trends and tools in education and on TpT. You've heard a lot about Easel by now, but what's the deal exactly? In this episode, I sit down with Will Cullen from Team TpT and Courtney Roberts of Classroom Resource Queen to dive into all the details: What is Easel, why does it matter to sellers, and why is it a no-brainer in our teacher seller businesses?

The Star of Bethlehem is still one of the most popular, and puzzling mysteries of the Bible. Its inclusion, at the very beginning of the very first Gospel, raises so many awkward questions for orthodox Christianity that one has to wonder how it ever made the canonical cut in the first place. So why would the authors (and editors) of the Christian gospels choose Zoroastrian Magi and astrology to herald the coming of Jesus Christ? Did the Magi have some special significance then that we have since lost? After all, the New Testament narrative opens with them. So who were the Magi, and did their astrological beliefs really lead them to Jesus? Now, for the first time, in The Star of the Magi, an author with a solid background in the history of astrology in ancient religion examines the Star. The result is a breathtaking blend of history, religious studies, astronomy, and astrology that tells the whole story as it has never been told before. The Magi had definite expectations of a coming world savior who would be born of a virgin; all mysteriously encoded and foretold in Magian astrology. These ancient Persian beliefs had tremendous bearing on the development of Jewish Messianic expectations--it inspired early Christians and their Jewish and Persian neighbors, and gave them hope in their desperate battles against the Romans. Astronomy alone cannot unlock the secrets of the Star. There are simply too many phenomena to choose from--even astronomers concede that that we must now look to astrology for better answers. The Persian, Zoroastrian astrology of the Magi is the key to this Christian mystery, and The Star of the Magi sheds new light on the role of astrology in the rise of monotheism and Messianic expectations throughout the ancient world.
