Kelly provides examples of individuals who embezzled funds from their companies to support their personal causes, such as a woman who stole money from her slumlord boss to benefit her community.Lastly, Accidental Perpetrators are those who unknowingly commit fraud. Kelly discusses cases where people unintentionally misrepresent their financial statements or fail to report income accurately, resulting in unintentional fraud.Throughout the episode, James and Kelly also explore some of the broader issues surrounding financial fraud, and the importance of education in preventing fraud.  Don't miss this captivating episode if you're curious about the fascinating world of finance, fraud, and forensics. Kelly Richmond Pope's WebsiteFool Me Once: Scams, Stories, and Secrets from the Trillion-Dollar Fraud IndustryWatch her documentary All the Queen's Horses on Prime Video------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

In Episode 39, Julie speaks with married couple, Shelly Sood and Nikhil Torsekar. Shelly Sood is an author, speaker, mother of 3, wife, and entrepreneur. Her husband of 20 years, Nikhil, had suffered from undiagnosed bipolar disorder for two decades, leading to massive devastation emotionally, mentally, and financially. After helping to save his life and their marriage, Shelly launched a healthcare company (GIOSTAR* Chicago) and discovered the fulfillment gained from diminishing the pain of others. After becoming suicidal, and ultimately getting diagnosed at the age of 40, Nikhil Torsekar began a journey of introspection and healing, and is now a devoted husband, dedicated parent, and thriving professional. He runs The Untether Your Life Podcast, serves as Director of Marketing for GIOSTAR Chicago, and is a tireless mental health advocate. His journey of discovery and healing through higher states of consciousness led he and his wife Shelly to incorporate Mindvalley's personal growth platform into their own lives. Nikhil has a BA from Washington University, an MS from DePaul University, and an MBA from The University of Chicago. Together, they overcame these obstacles by untethering their lives through traditional and holistic approaches to healthcare, and unconditional love for one another. Psychology Today recently covered Shelly and Nikhil in their article entitled “A Journey of Bipolar Disorder in a South Asian Family.” Connect with us: Connect with Shelly and Nikhil on IG :@theshellystory | Website Connect with the Untether Your Life Podcast @untetheryourlife | Website Join The Brown Girl Podcast Newsletter HERE Connect with The Brown Girl Podcast on IG: @thebrowngirl_podcast Connect with Julie on IG: @thejuliegeorge #southAsianmentalhealth #Bipolardisorder #mentlalhealtstigma #mentalhealthawarenss #southasianculture #mentalhealthresources #bipolardisordertreatments #breakthestigma #southasiandiaspora#southasianpodcasts #southasianadvocacy

Monique Maldonado is the CEO at Maldina Publishing, LLC and the author of The Looking List. She's also been the Marketing Director at Latin Rhythms Academy of Dance & Performance for seven years. Her passion for writing and journaling at a young age led her to pursue a bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism at Columbia College Chicago. She then decided to continue her studies in the Arts and attended DePaul University and earned her Master's in New Media Studies. The writing of a children's book developed from the idea of sharing some of her life's obsessions (planning & organization) and teaching valuable life skills to children. If there is one thing she has learned since becoming a mother herself, teaching children the way of the world is hard. Her mission is to create fun and colorful stories that parents can utilize as a fun parenting hack. Monique is the wife of a rock star artist and the mother of two children. But she has also been a blogger, law school academic counselor, professional competitive Latin dancer & instructor, and a beauty pageant winner. When Monique isn't marketing or writing, you can find her crafting, at book club, running board meetings, watching movies, or planning her next party theme.Connect with Monique below:https://www.maldinapublishing.com/https://www.instagram.com/maldinapublishing/https://www.facebook.com/maldinapublishingSupport the showFollow Moms Who Create:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/momswhocreatepodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/momswhocreatepodcastMonthly Meeting Book Club - https://www.facebook.com/groups/momswhocreatebookclubWebsite - https://www.momswhocreate.com/

OUTLINE of today's show with TIMECODESI had an opportunity to talk to the Tennessee Senate Commerce Committee. Here's an extended version of what I said about the dangers we face from the Fed Reserve & CBDC and the opportunity we have at the state level to set up a decentralized "State Reserve System". 2:42 FOIA request shows Jared Kushner was advocating for CBDC in 2019 and saw it as working with UBI (Universal Basic Income), welfare and dependency for everyone but him (and the Trump family). 37:26 Florida state representative Jason Broader (R)'s bill to require registration of each and every story about elected state officials. Listeners take me to task for my criticism of GOP and DeSantis (who HAS refuted the bill) 46:18 What about the new "hate crime" FL bill to protect against anti-semitism? Will DeSantis sign it? Remember the VERY troubling "anti-semitism" bill he signed in 2019 in a ceremonial signing in Israel? Many critics believe it wasn't about outlawing anti-semitism but outlawing criticism of the GOVERNMENT of Israel. Here's why… 50:28 After School Satan Club opens in an elementary school in Colorado.

Florida's housing crisis has been a growing concern in recent years, affecting a wide range of communities throughout the state. Among those hit the hardest are victims of domestic and sexual violence, who often face unique challenges when seeking safe and stable housing. In this podcast, we will explore the root causes of Florida's housing crisis, including systemic poverty, discrimination, and limited affordable housing options. We will also examine the ways in which the housing crisis has a disproportionate impact on victims of domestic and sexual violence, who are often forced to remain in abusive situations due to lack of affordable housing options. Joe spent the first two years of his legal career as an Equal Justice Works Fellow practicing Community Lawyering for immigrant families. He has since transitioned such efforts into housing discrimination enforcement and outreach, where he manages Florida Legal Services' Fair Housing Initiative Project via the HUD funded FHOI/EOI programs. He has a bachelor's degree from DePaul University, a M.A. from the University of Colorado in Public Policy, and a J.D. from the University of Florida, Levin College of Law. Since graduating from the University of Florida in 2007, Erika Recek has spent most of her legal career working in public interest law, ensuring that individuals in vulnerable situations have a voice in the judicial process. She has worked at various legal aid organizations, helping survivors of domestic violence with legal issues involving injunctions, family law related matters, housing, and consumer law issues. Erika joined Florida Legal Services in 2018, where she has continued to assist survivors of domestic violence in her role as Director of Survivor Advocacy while also engaging in systemic impact advocacy for vulnerable populations. #FloridaHousingCrisis #DomesticViolence #SexualViolence #AffordableHousing

He is also a member of the Small Business Council of Small Business for America's Future. Nat is originally from Chicago, Illinois, and currently resides in the Chicago area with his wife, Patricia. Their four children and seven grandchildren also live in the Chicago area. It can be nerve-wracking for an agency trying to develop a bespoke project for a small and medium sized business that is competing with the big players in the industry. There are lots to consider including factors such as limited budget, website, digital footprint and social media presence. Wow! This outstandingly incredible episode with Jason Barnard and Nat Rosasco discusses how to create a "wow" project for your clients (small and medium businesses) that not only impresses them, but helps them compete with larger companies. Nat shares brilliant tips for creating a website, aligning budget to expectations, cutting development time and costs in half, and choosing the right fonts, colours, calls to action, hero banners, personal branding, corporate branding, and more. Nat explains how he uses geo-targeting to optimise his clients' businesses and ultimately help them get on the first page of search engine results. Jason also explains that one business can not serve all customers and that it's important to figure out who you are really relevant to so you can focus on that and then potentially expand as your business grows.

Across the globe, disaster can strike at a moments notice. While news headlines often focus on the death toll or economic cost, there's another hidden expense when natural disasters wreck havoc – the mental health of those who survive.The 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck along the border of Turkey and Syria has killed more than 50,000 and caused billions in damage for two countries ill-equipped to handle such devastation.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by all your stuff? If so, you're not alone. In recent years, a thriving decluttering industry has sprung up to help us deal with our ever-accumulating piles of things. Dn. Joseph Ferrari, PhD, of DePaul University, talks about why we accumulate so much stuff and why we find it so hard to deal with it, what the research says about clutter, stress and anxiety, and the best ways to get started clearing the clutter in your home.

Eating Disorders (EDs) are “behavioral conditions characterized by severe and persistent disturbance in eating behaviors and associated distressing thoughts and emotions.” A recent US study estimated that between 2018 and 2019, one person died from an ED every 51.5 minutes. The report projected that 28.8 million US people will suffer from an ED at some point in their lifetime, and women were two times more likely to have an ED than men. Conversion estimates predict that 278,266 Utahns (or 9.0%) will experience an ED. Given the mortality risk, higher rates among women, and the predicted prevalence of EDs in Utah, the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) seeks to better understand what may be affecting this public health crisis in our state. Recently, the UWLP published a research snapshot on eating disorders among Utah women, which is the focus of this episode. Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the UWLP, is joined by Dr. Maya Miyairi, a former faculty member at Utah State University and currently a research scientist for the Center for Community Research at DePaul University; Dr. Sara Boghosian, a clinical assistant professor of psychology at Utah State University; and Sadie Wilde, an assistant professor of health & wellness at USU Extension.Support the show

You may have never heard the name Fr. Clarence Rivers before today. Fr. Rivers was a renown composer and liturgist, among other things, and he was helping people better understand—better see themselves—in the liturgy long before the Second Vatican Council made such actions the norm. Fr. Rivers was also the first Black priest ordained in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, and his own heritage and lived experience greatly informed his approach to the liturgy and to his own priestly ministry. But Fr. Rivers is slowly being lost to the relentless march of time. His legacy is interwoven in so much of how we understand Catholic liturgy today, and yet his name is far from our lips. Fortunately, our guests today—Emily Strand and Eric Styles—host their own podcast, and it's called Meet Father Rivers. Emily has taught religion at the collegiate level for more than 15 years, and currently does so at Mt. Carmel College in Ohio. She is the author of two books on Catholicism and has published several essays on religious and literary themes in popular culture in peer-reviewed publications. Emily is also a life-long Church musician, serving her parish as a cantor, accompanist and ensemble director, and serving the National Association of Pastoral Musicians as Chair of the Forum on Communication. Eric Styles has served as the Rector of Carroll Hall, an intentional undergraduate residential community at the University of Notre Dame, since 2016. He holds degrees from the University of Cincinnati and Loyola University Chicago. Eric worked as a Parish Liturgy Coordinator at Saint Benedict the African Catholic Church in Chicago and as a House Manager for the Theatre School of DePaul University. He spent time discerning the call to religious life with the Society of Jesus, though eventually discovered that was not where God was inviting him to be. Eric remains active in the performing arts as a collaborator with Afro House, a Baltimore based music driven performance art ensemble. Eric writes about theology, liturgy, and contemporary culture. Both of our guests are passionate about the liturgy, deeply inspired by the legacy of Fr. Rivers and determined to help form the imagination of people of faith today.

Kimon and Richard speak with Cormac Russell, Managing Director at Nurture Development. Cormac focuses on helping institutions, NGOs, governmental organizations, and companies interested in improving their communities. The biggest issue that Cormac encounters in these organizations is a problem with disconnection. In this interview, Cormac discusses his work to overcome disconnection and bring people together. Before he began his work as a community organizer and developer, Cormac wanted to become a psychologist. He worked in childcare, helping kids with mental health issues. Many of the issues he saw that these kids faced became most prominent as they were transitioning from the hospital setting back into their local communities. Cormac realized that the old adage: “it takes a village” rang very true. Cormac soon discovered the work and ideas of John L. McKnight, co-founder of the Asset-Based Community Development Institute at DePaul University. John has since become a mentor and a co-author with Cormac, focusing on the core issues facing local communities. Their approach is bottom-up and people-centered with an emphasis on localism. Cormac was driven to help start Nurture Development, which focused on community development from the inside out. He has grown the company today to the point where it now has a footprint in 36 countries. In his current work, Cormac argues that organizations operating in a particular area should pay attention to more than just its straightforward objective. For example, he discusses how police departments tasked with arresting people should also care about the root causes that lead to crime in the first place. If the goal of a police department is to produce less crime, it should redirect some of its resources toward community-building instead of just boosting enforcement. Cormac emphasizes that many problems faced by organizations are not ones of leadership. Rather, there are not enough people who are focused on connecting or convening those in the broader community. With more people out there whose role it is to connect, the job of the leaders is made much easier. Connectors, like Cormac, offer a more local and granular perspective than a typical leader who is focused on a birds-eye-view of any issue. Cormac makes a case for “thinking like a social movement” while “behaving like an entrepreneur.” He gives the example of a neighborhood in Birmingham, UK. Cormac worked with locals from the neighborhood to embark on a listening campaign to hear directly from the people. In the course of the listening campaign, they found 93 people in the neighborhood who were identified as connectors. These connectors were then brought together and given access to training and community-development materials to help them directly address the problems they saw themselves.  Cormac discusses other examples in the interview of how to bring together communities using a bottom-up and inside-out approach. He is not your standard entrepreneur focused on the bottom line. Rather, Cormac uses entrepreneurial tools to address social issues. The ultimate measure of success is in the long-term growth and development of the community. Cormac Russell is a social explorer, an author and a much sought-after speaker. He is the Founding Director of Nurture Development and a member of the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Institute, at DePaul University, Chicago. Find links to past episodes here.
