[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I'm excited to introduce you to my guest, Jessica Richter. Jessica is the Executive Vice President and General Manager at Veranex, a global provider of end-to-end solutions that accelerate MedTech innovation through deep expertise and integrated resources. As the leader of Veranex's contract research organization and consulting services business unit, she oversees clinical trial strategy and execution, clinical data services, regulatory affairs, quality and compliance, market access and reimbursement. She also manages operations, client engagement, business development and performance tracking. A seasoned leader in medical devices and diagnostics, Jessica has extensive experience in software as a medical device, surgical innovation, oncology, aesthetics, cardiology and gastroenterology. Her tenure at Medtronic and Becton Dickinson shaped her expertise in commercialization, sales strategy, physician education, patient advocacy, and change management. Beyond her current role, Jessica serves on the boards of medtech, women and UCLA's technology development group. She actively advises startups, accelerators, and universities, including medtech innovator UC Berkeley's Master of Translational Medicine Program, the Mayo Clinic's Executive Steering Committee for the Surgical Innovation Summit, and UCLA BioDesign.   Thank you so much for being here, Jessica. I'm so excited to speak with you. [00:02:15] Jessica Richter: Likewise, Lindsey, thank you so much for having me. [00:02:18] Lindsey Dinneen: Of course. Well, I'd love if you wouldn't mind sharing a little bit about yourself and your background and what led you to medtech. [00:02:26] Jessica Richter: Awesome. Yeah, happy to. So, I was born and raised in California. I am the youngest of three girls and my entire family is really in the healthcare delivery field. So both my grandfathers were surgeons. My mother is a nurse. Both my sisters are clinical psychologists. And so when I went to school, I had aspirations at one point to get into medicine, and then through a really challenging organic chemistry class, kind of started to realize that maybe the practice of medicine wasn't where I belonged. And so I initially graduated from Berkeley, had my sights set on potentially doing something in communications, and started off in business to business sales in the telecom industry. So as far from medtech as maybe one could think. Had some experience with software, this is when Blackberries were a thing, if you remember those. And then a friend of mine was a recruiter and reached out and said, "Hey, I, I know that you're into medical and into medicine, and that was something you were interested in. Have you ever considered a career in medical device sales?" And frankly I didn't even know that that existed. I mean, this was 20 years ago, so this was before, you know, internet and all of those things existed, obviously, but it wasn't as pervasive as it is now. And so I wasn't even aware that these jobs existed. The fact that you could be working on the delivery of care but not be a healthcare provider was an eyeopening moment. And so I got in and started actually working at a surgical company called Deval. It's part of CR Bard, which is now part of Becton Dickinson, and I cut my teeth in medical device sales. And then I went on to work in a commercial role within other companies Given Imaging, Covidian, Medtronic. I ascended to sales leadership, working with key opinion leaders, working on the patient advocacy side. And then about eight years ago, I had the opportunity through an organization that we'll talk a little bit more about, called MedtechWOMEN, that I was involved in to learn about a consultancy that was looking for a head of business development marketing. It was a small group called Experian Group. I joined them and then within nine months was promoted to Chief Operating Officer, which was a position that I absolutely loved because we were working on the pre-commercial side of things and regulatory quality systems, clinical trials. And I had always had experience in the post commercial side. So eyes open to what happens, everything leading up to commercial. And I got a masterclass from my colleagues there, learning so much about what happens again, pre-commercial. But then one of the other things that came out very quickly is I've always been someone who loves operational efficiency. And I know that's not sexy or cool, but I just like seeing something that isn't working optimally and get it working optimally is something that brings joy. So I had the opportunity to do that within Experian Group, and then really help the organization, which was already very successful, go from a very successful kind of local consultancy to a much larger, broader group with a broader footprint, more global client base. And then we were acquired by the firm that I currently work with called Veranex, and that really exploded capabilities of what was a 50% consultancy to now over a thousand people with a much broader global reach in the US, in Europe, and in India. [00:05:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. That is incredible. Well, first of all, thank you for sharing your story and your background and all the amazing things that led you to where you are right now. That's incredible. So many questions, in a good way. But let's dive in a little bit about, yeah, so, so tell us a little bit more about your role right now, and what are you excited about as this consultancy continues to grow and new opportunities arise. What's on the future for you? [00:06:02] Jessica Richter: So now I lead one of three business units here at Veranex. So I lead our CRO and Consulting Services Business Unit, and that encompasses regulatory, quality, and clinical, as well as commercial strategy, market access reimbursement, things like coding, coverage, payment. So we help mid-size, early stage, and some of the largest strategic medtech companies, as well as some biopharma as well with companion diagnostics, navigate sometimes the tumultuous waters needed to bring a device from inception all the way through to commercialization. Veranex also has two other business units in preclinical as well as extensive design, development and engineering. So there's leaders in each of those capacities. And what we do on CRO and consulting services is really consultative. So we work with clients to develop strategies in all of these areas, and then we roll up our sleeves and work alongside them to make sure that those strategies are actually executable, so to help them along the way. And some of our clients have teams, so it's strategic and we're advisors. Other clients, if they're early, early, may not have extensive expertise or the ability to build out teams in that way. So we go in, or our team goes in, and really provides them that support along the entire continuum. It's interesting, just today, we have a client we've been working with for two years. They're in Switzerland, but they've been working with our US and global team. They just got news from FDA that they obtained FDA clearance. And I'll tell you, I think our team is as excited as theirs because, when you're in a company, it's all that you're living, breathing, doing. When you're consulting, you're a little bit at an arm's length. So when our clients achieve their results, and it's their work, but in concert with ours, the feeling of accomplishment really is just, it's one of those that's explosive. So we've celebrated that. We ring a bell. We'll share a lot, we'll do some marketing around it with this client. But it's really fun. That's the part that really drives not just me, but members of our team as to "How can we help more companies get more products to patients?" [00:07:58] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. First of all, congratulations, that's exciting, and I'm thrilled for your clients and for you guys because it matters so much and what a great milestone. So that's wonderful. But yeah, so I'm curious, you've seen a lot of different sides to medtech and to the business side of things, and I'm curious what are some potential stumbling blocks that you have seen that companies, especially when they're perhaps a little bit younger or earlier on in the process, what are maybe one or two stumbling blocks that you see that you think, "You know what, hey, if we put a little bit of thought into this, we can overcome this very easily, but we need to be thinking about this from the start." [00:08:36] Jessica Richter: Okay. There's two things. One of them is gonna be a shameless plug, but I swear it's true, and that's quality. I think companies don't focus enough on quality systems 'cause it's just not the fun or sexy thing, but it's literally where we see companies struggle because they think about it too late. They do just in time. They think an EQMS is the answer, and it's not the only answer, it's a component. So quality would be the short answer. The longer answer is people. So what we see is oftentimes, people, especially in a cost constrained environment, which we are today, where fundraising is tough, people do need to be financially astute as far as what they're spending and how they're spending it. But sometimes you get more by spending a little bit more to get the right advice. So for example, if somebody is expert in engineering or expert in regulatory, excellent. Know where your expertise is not, and then supplement. So either hire a consultant or bring on an employee or have a member of your board that can advise them that way. More often than not, we see people trying to just kind of figure it out as they go, which isn't a bad strategy, but there are critical decisions and inflection points along the way. For example, if you're developing a clinical trial, thinking only about your regulatory strategy and not about your commercial goals or the claims you're going to make, you are gonna have to ultimately spend twice as much when you have to do secondary studies that you could have avoided by including that in endpoints. So there's little things like that along the way where if you don't know what you don't know, it's really difficult to see those hurdles. It's helpful to bring in people, even in an advisory capacity, to help you say, "Okay, these are the hurdles that you're gonna face." You're gonna have new hurdles that maybe that you won't know or people won't know, but it's really making sure that you surround yourself with experts in those key areas. [00:10:25] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm. That's great advice. Experts in those key areas. Well, speaking to the advisory point, I'd actually love to talk about your involvement with MedtechWOMEN, and tell us a little bit about that organization and how it serves women in this industry. [00:10:39] Jessica Richter: Absolutely. Thank you for asking. It's something that I could literally talk about for this entire podcast. So, I alluded to it earlier, but MedtechWOMEN, I got, and I say "roped in" lovingly, but I was introduced to this organization, gosh, maybe a decade ago now when I was at Covidian and then Medtronic, and a mentor of mine, Amy Belt Raimundo, was one of the founders of MedtechWOMEN. And she had mentioned to me, because there weren't a lot of female leaders within that section of my business at the time, so I was paired with her and it feels like kismet because she was this spark of like, this is what badass female leadership looks like. She knew her stuff, she was really focused on the issues. She made time and said yes anytime I had a question or wanted to meet. Our conversations were really meaningful and actionable. Sometimes we just talked as friends. It wasn't always so agenda based, but she introduced me to MedtechWOMEN and shared with me that there's this organization. It's all volunteers. It's kind of membership based and it's literally women getting together talking about the issues in our industry. And it wasn't as focused on things like work-life balance, which quite frankly is a challenge, no matter what your gender is. There are great forums for talking about work-life balance and how you prioritize your health and your mental wellbeing, and that is really, really important. But some of the events that I had gone to as far as women in leadership or women in medtech were really focused on those things and that wasn't what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to see incredible pioneers or trailblazers in our industry talking about the things that mattered in industry and sharing their perspectives. And that's exactly really the thesis of MedtechWOMEN. And so it was an organization founded over a decade ago. It started really as just an annual event, this MedtechVISION event, where we brought women together on a podium talking about the issues impacting healthcare today. It evolved. So after a couple of years and a couple of different topics, what we started to see is that there was a real thirst in the community that we had beyond just that individual or that one time a year we got together for the event. And so we developed a kind of MedtechWOMEN 2.0. We brought on an Executive Director. And we essentially launched a much, much grander vision of what MedtechWOMEN was. So it included membership. It included mentorship, so formal pairings. We created a board of directory, kind of a pathway to get to more women on boards. We also have local events, networking events, virtual events in partnership with our sister organizations like MedTech Color and Diversity by Doing. And then of course we still have our annual event. And then just this past month we actually brought on a new executive director. Her name is Yvonne Bokelman. She is a longtime industry veteran, tremendous leader in medtech, and someone who's really passionate about the organization, the mission, the vision. So we're excited to see what she will do in her role here. [00:13:38] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. That's incredible. Thank you so much for sharing a little bit about the organization and its history and who it is serving, and it really resonated because I agree with you that there's wonderful platforms for being able to talk about some of the. Some of the topics that tend to come up quite a bit for women, especially women leaders, and I love the fact that you are fully acknowledging that those things are great as well, but that your focus is a little bit different. And so I'm curious, what are some interesting stories or things that have happened maybe unexpectedly from this network of incredible women supporting each other, learning from each other. Can you share a little bit that? [00:14:17] Jessica Richter: Oh yeah, absolutely. And I'll tell you, many of us that have been members for a long period of time will attest to the fact that job opportunities come via this network, learning opportunities, sales and business opportunities. I mean, we network in the same way that we would in any other conference or any other meeting, but deals certainly have gotten done within and at MedtechWOMEN and MedtechVISION events. But most importantly, and one of the things that I always tout, is that MedtechWOMEN is a sisterhood that will take that call. And what I mean by that is if you have a question, if you need to phone a friend-- going back to what we were talking about earlier of that network of you don't know what you don't know, but somebody probably does-- within MedtechWOMEN, someone definitely does. And so what we encourage our members and our mentors and anyone that's a part of the organization to do is reach forward and reach back. And so when I say take that call, if someone calls-- and I just had literally three conversations in the last three weeks-- with more junior people looking for career advice or wanting to have a question about regulatory or their thinking about a decision point in their job, and what should they do? I always take that call and, you know, we're all busy. We all have things to do, but that 30 minute conversation can have a really big difference. And I know for me, likewise, when I have a question, when I'm coming up against something where it's helpful to have a thought partner, sometimes you want that outside of your own company, or outside of your boss, or outside of your team. And so the MedtechWOMEN Network is incredibly powerful and very supportive. And in my experience, and I've tried it both ways, we will always take that call. [00:15:53] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh wow. That's incredible. So, okay, so mentorship and leadership is obviously a key component of your life, something that you're passionate about. From your own experience as a woman in this industry, are there any things that come to mind that you would say, just pieces of advice-- let's say for other women who might be younger in their career and they're looking to grow, they're looking to become leaders, they're looking to become maybe thought leaders, or own their own company, things like that-- what are some things that you might suggest to them from your own experience would be helpful? [00:16:27] Jessica Richter: Oh yeah. It's, it's a great question, Lindsey, because there's a lot of things. I wish we could just mind share. First and foremost, I would tell women to go for it. I think sometimes we self-sabotage or hold ourselves back if we don't have all of the information or feel like we're a hundred percent qualified. And there's been tons of studies that demonstrate that. So first and foremost, go for it. I had this conversation with one of my mentees who was taking on a new role and I said, "It's okay that you're feeling this way or that way. Do it and do it scared." Like it's okay to not feel like you have all of the confidence, right? And it doesn't mean fake it till you make it, although there's a little bit of that too. But I would say don't let fear hold you back. So that would be the first piece of it. The other piece of it is make sure that you have, really, your own board, meaning advocates, mentors, coaches, thought partners, people that you can reach out to and rely upon. And that has to work both ways. I will tell you, I have learned as much from mentees as I have learned from mentors. And so recognizing that knowledge is shared both ways, no matter what your seniority is. For people that are junior, they have their on the pulse of things that I'm not as privy to, and sometimes I feel, feel that even more strongly. Likewise for people that have been in this industry 40, 50 years, they have institutional knowledge that I only wish that I had. And so, being at this midpoint in my career, I'm sandwiched between both and really appreciate, so I would implore people that are hoping and wanting to pursue leadership, go for it. [00:18:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Thank you for that. I, I love that advice. I really appreciate it. So, you have had such an interesting career and going from communication and sales, and then to this new role and Chief Operating Officer, all these cool things. For your own leadership style, what would you say are maybe one or two key things that you have found to be really helpful for you as a leader in the industry in the way that you approach the people that you lead? [00:18:30] Jessica Richter: Another great question, Lindsey. So I would say, well --first maybe I'll share some lessons learned 'cause I've made a ton of mistakes. So I think one of the things that I didn't appreciate early on as a leader that I definitely appreciate now, is that we all have our own lens, our view with which we take on and see the world, and that's the view in which, you know. And so as a leader, initially, my thought was, "Well, everyone kind of sees and feels it this way with their own flavor." That is not true. Everyone has their own view and that's really shaped by their family, their background, their culture, lots of different aspects. And so I think for me, some advice as a leader would be, be humble, take the time to really seek to understand, and then, even if you are heightening your communication, multiply that times three or four and then you're probably scratching the surface, 'cause people need to hear things different ways, multiple times. And it doesn't mean you need to micromanage or drill things down, but when you're leading an organization and bringing people along on a change, especially, it is important that people understand the why, the who, the what, the how come, and that they hear that re repeatedly so that they can understand it, they can buy into it, and that you're creating an environment to make sure that their questions are addressed. So, lesson learned kind of recommendation on the leadership piece. I think the other just piece of advice is that sometimes people aspire to leadership because they think it's glamorous or there's gonna be a lot of money there, or it looks like the leader doesn't have to do that much work, they're just delegating. What I would say is leadership is not glamorous. It's often thankless. It's super hard. I work tons of hours and I love the team that I work with, and so for me the why is that. But if you are not loving that, don't do that. There's plenty of opportunities that you can contribute meaningfully as an individual contributor or a principal or a subject matter expert, and that's great too. So know that if you want to lead people and be involved on that side of leadership, I welcome it. I think it's fantastic. I think there's a lot of people that get into it with a misconception of what it will look like. And I'll tell you it's worthwhile, but it's hard. [00:20:43] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, when you were talking about that it, the glamor side of things, I just remember so vividly and I, I joke about it because I think it's funny-- but very quickly, I used to own my own dance studio and I built that from the ground up. And people would say things to me like, "Oh my goodness. What you're doing, you're living your dream. That's amazing! Oh my gosh, how cool is that?" And inside, I'm like, "Ha, yeah, I mean, I spent the first two hours as the janitor this morning, and then the next two hours as the CEO. And then, you know..." And it's funny, but it's true, you wear a lot of hats as a leader and sometimes your job is literally getting down into the nitty gritty and cleaning up, and that's fine too. So I love that. [00:21:24] Jessica Richter: My quip is always from the janitor to the GM, like, "What needs to get done? There's no task too big or too small." And ultimately, I think that what you described in yourself, and I love that, is servant leadership, right? Like for me, I've always responded well, when a leader isn't above any task and doesn't ask for something that they themselves would not be willing or aren't willing to do along with their team member. And so again, that's, that's not the definition of leadership, but in my eyes, that's a definition of leadership that really resonates with me. [00:21:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. I agree. Yeah. Well, speaking of stories and those kinds of fun things too, are there any that stand out to you, perhaps along your career or with MedtechWOMEN, or anything really, that just affirm to you that, "Hey, I am in the right industry at the right time, doing what I should be doing?" [00:22:14] Jessica Richter: Oh yes. So there's a couple of different specific examples. So firstly, one of the things that has happened as of late, and I feel like-- not to get too woo or California on you-- but these synchronicities where you'll be thinking about something or remembering something, and suddenly a project and people come together around it-- and again, I think that's part of the power of the network. But there was a friend of mine that I had run into at a conference, we were talking about a specific aspect of their business that was really needing some, some development, and it turned out that after that conversation, literally not a week later, I got a call from a prospective client that was interested in working in this specific space. We were able to connect them with this person that was in need of that exact thing. And it was with software and with AI and so a partnership was forged and now they are literally about to embark in this really explosive and announcement will be forthcoming about it. But there's so many examples of little nuances and synchronicities like that, that again, happen because of staying open, staying curious, that powerful network right place, right time. But I also think it's the magic of our industry. It's really small. People sometimes fail to appreciate because you have these large organizations that are hundreds of thousands of people, but the leaders within the organization are fairly connected and tight. It's really an interconnected ecosystem. So that's just kind of one broad example. There's also other really small examples of the power, I think, of MedtechWOMEN in just how it ignites and how it brings people together, especially across senior and junior roles. So when we do our networking events, we try to do them regionally, just to try to bring different people together. And you can have like the CEO of sometimes a large organization, like Lisa Earnhardt from Abbott is a member and an active participant. She often will come to events talking to someone who's their very first year in medtech. And when you see these examples of sponsors of ours really showing up and demonstrating a commitment to giving back, and you see these people that are junior that may not even know the seniority of the leader that they're speaking to, recognizing that we're all people at the end of the day, trying to really ideally propel healthcare and help patients in their journeys to health and wellness. And so when you see examples of those sparks and those little ignites, it reinforces why we're here, what it is we're doing, and really the power of the organization. [00:24:41] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah! Well, I think that the more times that you get to see those connection points, and those synergies or whatever we wanna call them, I think that that does impact us in a way that goes, "Yeah, the work that I do matters and it's impacting people's lives and maybe in very different ways." So some of it is, yeah, that end user and that patient, and oh my goodness, what this device can do for them and their quality of life. And sometimes it's the person behind the invention and what does that journey look like for them personally and the impact on their own family and their life. So I love hearing about those connection points. [00:25:16] Jessica Richter: Well, and that's the joy of working also with, I mean, large strategics for sure, but the startup companies, oftentimes it's a physician and engineer. The physician is seeing the unmet need because of the patients coming into their clinic. They're feeling hopeless 'cause they can't address it, but also empowered because they know what to do. So those are the really fun, kind of feel good projects, especially because there is no one better equipped than a clinician, right, to say, "Okay, here's the gap." Engineers can help to design and develop, but oftentimes that's where the teams are sort of left in the lurch to say, "Okay, what do we do from here?" And so it is incredibly powerful to enable these innovators, no matter what their backgrounds are along that journey. And it's not a quick one as you know, being on the manufacturing side. It's not something that's quick or easy. It's not something that is a high success rate. And when it works, there is no better feeling. When you commercialize a device or when you get it through the FDA, that's just the start. When it's actually used in patients and you start to hear those patient advocates and those stories, and you expand indications and are able to help more patients, that's the thing that makes it worthwhile. And when the going gets tough, 'cause it does that, those are the stories, right, that really inspire us to continue. [00:26:33] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, absolutely. Amen to that. So, okay, so I have so many thoughts swirling around, but I do want to pivot the conversation a little bit just for fun. So imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want. It can be within your industry, but it doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach? [00:26:53] Jessica Richter: Oh, I love this question. I'll try to make it not about our industry 'cause it's something I've been working on a lot lately, and it's a testament to patience, which is something that I think we could all use more of, but I could definitely use more of. So we rescued a dog in Covid. She's a Doberman pit mix. Her name is Poppy and she's delightful. And she was severely neglected. So when we got her, we knew she was really shut down and that we would have to do work to bring her out of her shell. My husband and I don't have kids. We have a quiet home. I knew that we could take that on. And so while I won't say I am the expert, what I have done in the four years we've now had her, is extensively worked with her on the, what I would call the "Art of the Dog Walk." So we have learned how to really master exercise, training, and discipline as a way to show affection, 'cause for a dog that shut down like that, that's really what she needed to thrive. It was humbling and very educational for me. I've always been a huge animal lover. I used to volunteer when I had a lot more time with an animal rescue. And so I was able to parlay that and work with a trainer really on honing those skills so that Poppy could not just be social in the world, but be less shut down. So it would be so fun to share a masterclass on that 'cause I had so many reflections and learnings on patience. The art of going slow, the art of taking in the world, of just slowing that down, not being on my phone, right, being really present with her. And I sort of joke with my husband, I feel like now when I walk her-- I dunno if you've seen the movie "Avatar"-- but like we connect our avatars and we like go on into this world, and it's meditative. It's our morning practice and it's something that for me has been incredibly rewarding, and challenging, and a huge learning experience that, that I would love to share. [00:28:50] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, that's wonderful. Oh my goodness. Yes. I am a huge dog lover, so anytime someone's telling me about their dog, it's just instant happiness. [00:28:59] Jessica Richter: Likewise. And for my, my favorite thing that it will always bring a smile to my face is the unlikely animal friends, like if you see like a squirrel a dog or a kookaburra or something, you're like, "Ahh!" [00:29:10] Lindsey Dinneen: It's so cute. It's precious. Yes. I love it. And to me it reinforces, "Hey, we can actually all get along if we try." I mean, I know it's a little different in the animal kingdom, but still, I still love that. Oh my goodness. Great. Well then, how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:29:32] Jessica Richter: You know, legacy is something, that I think is important. It's funny, I've been working with my niece on her college essays and college admittance, and reflecting back to my views when I was 18 versus my views today in the world now. And even speaking to my mom about legacy, 'cause it's something, you know, she's approaching her eighties that she thinks more and more about. So it's conversations that we have a lot. I really would love to be remembered as an enabler, as someone who really enables those around me to be successful, to achieve more, to obtain what they want right to, to drive forward. I love being around creative people and innovators and people with really expansive imaginations, and I think my superpower is kind of capturing and enabling those things. So it would be great to be able to enable more people around me. And that's true with patients and healthcare and the clients that we support as well. You know, one of the things that has always been pointed out to me-- and again, my grandfather was a huge proponent of this-- is when things aren't going well in the world, you can focus on what's going wrong or you can look for the helpers. And so, as a surgeon, he was one of those helpers. And so I think he ingrained that in me very early on. And so I'd love to be remembered as someone who is a helpful enabler. [00:30:51] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. Yes. That's a beautiful legacy. I love that. [00:30:54] Jessica Richter: I am curious, Lindsey, I know this is like, you're the, you're the interviewer, but how would you like to be remembered? [00:31:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, thank you for asking. First time! You know, there are so many things, so many things that I love doing for other people. But I really actually resonated with your idea of enabling. And I would say mine is very similar. And that is that I love helping people achieve their dreams. And that can look like lots of different things to lots of different people. So it's when I'm working with a company, it always started with one person's idea, right? All these big companies started off as this tiny little one person's idea that became something. And I think just helping that, those sparks, especially when maybe they're eager, but they're not quite ready. They're scared, they're nervous, they're whatever, and helping them see a clear path to achieving those dreams and goals is one of my favorite things. And whether that's just a personal, I wanna run a marathon, I don't even how to know how to get started, or whether it's, I have this great idea for a book, but I am concerned about, like, "Nobody will read it, no one will care." Well, that's not the point. Let's start somewhere. And so I think for me, it's about empowering people to live the life that they want to live and hope that they can live. That's what I would love to be remembered for. [00:32:16] Jessica Richter: Well, that's beautiful. I hope that via this and the other things that you're doing, it seems like you're already on that track. [00:32:22] Lindsey Dinneen: Well, thank you. I appreciate that. I really appreciate you asking me too. Thank you. Well, and then final question, and you've sort of perhaps alluded to this-- I'll see if it's different than your first time-- what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:32:37] Jessica Richter: Oh, well, definitely the unlikely animal pairings for sure. [00:32:41] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. [00:32:42] Jessica Richter: Anytime with family. Family is super important to me. So anytime I can spend time with our family, that is for me, a smile doesn't go off of my face. And also kind of what you said, celebrating other people's wins. And I celebrate my own as well-- I think it's important that we do that-- but there is nothing like, it's a grin, like when someone on our team has an accomplishment, the grin is twice as big, right? Because you just, to see that reflected, that success, that attainment, that win reflected for the people that you work alongside, that brings a smile to my face every time. [00:33:20] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, nothing quite like it, and it's so powerful. Yeah, huh. Oh my goodness. Well, this has been an amazing conversation. I don't really want it to end, but I know we have other things we have to get to today, so I just wanna take some time to say thank you so very much for being here with me, Jessica.

On Today's Menu:

This is an episode of massive importance. My deepest thanks to my guest, Becky Nulle, who endured horrific experiences of rape and sexual assault from multiple perpetrators, one of which was the Deputy Superintendent of Chicago Schools, James Moffat, in the late 70's and early 80's. Becky was one of 5 victims that suffered rape and sexual assault from Moffat who was finally charged and prosecuted in the mid-80's.   But Becky's story starts with parents who, as she puts it, were neglectful. Becky was victimized by bullies at school, vulnerable, and easy prey to “Darrel” who promised her protection but became her first sexual abuser. He was also the person who trafficked Becky to Moffat. And then, as a result of Becky searching for safety and connection, she fell victim to several other adults who took advantage of Becky's vulnerability and exposure on the streets of Chicago.  This story is tragic…and yet triumphant. Because Becky sought out help and healing. And found it through her therapist, Jan Spangler, who introduced Becky to brainspotting, a very effective trauma therapy method, according to Becky.  She says that brainspotting saved her life, helping her recognize and deal with her hidden traumas, saved her marriage, and provided her with the ability to pursue her bachelor's degree, as well as the pathway of writing a book.  The book is Anger, Alcohol, and Healing through Brainspotting, now available for pre-release ordering. ( Becky also provided me with a brief bio that I want to include: Becky Nulle is a soon to be published author and a volunteer who helps the Hmong community in Northern Wisconsin. She is a Sexual Assault/Rape Survivor of James Moffat, a powerful man who was second in charge of the Chicago Public School System at one time. Becky is married, has a Doberman and eight ducks. She is currently working on her Bachelors Degree in Communications. This is an episode that you'll not want to miss. And I encourage you to copy the link to this episode and share it with family, friends, and acquaintances. The impact will help bring justice to victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault, and help educate those who listen in. And, it may just save someone's life. This episode is filled with substance, reflection, and a deep commitment to the healing process. It's a powerful reminder that survivor stories don't stop when the episode is over—and that advocacy can take many forms, including quiet reflection. This one is for every voice that hasn't been heard yet—and every listener who's ready to believe, support, and speak up.

In 1996, the world of video gaming was forever changed by the release of Capcom's “survival horror” masterwork “Resident Evil” on the Sony PlayStation. In fact, the term “survival horror”, now a common-place name for a subgenre of horror gaming, was originated by “Resident Evil”.Survival horror itself can be defined as a genre of video games with a focus on surviving in a threatening, often supernatural or disturbing environment, with an emphasis on a more vulnerable central character, tension, limited resources and combat as a last resort.Sound like a vast number of great horror games that have come since the original “Resident Evil”?Whether it's the steeped in atmospheric dread of the “Silent Hill” franchise, the cosmic Lovecraftian terror of the “Dead Space” games, the nerve-frying corridors of the “Amnesia” series or the Stephen King-esque small town horror of “Alan Wake” and its sequel, the influence of “Resident Evil” has played a pivotal role in forming horror gaming. In this episode I am joined by the stars of the most recent “Resident Evil” games. They have taken the three most iconic characters of the franchise and not only made them their own, but also brought real gravity and psychological complexity that has helped redefine the series and what we thought we could expect from it.Welcome Nicole Tompkins who plays Jill Valentine in the “Resident Evil 3” reimaging and the animated film “Resident Evil: Death Island” as well as Daniela Dimitrescu and Elena in “Resident Evil Village”, Jeff Schine who plays Carlos in the “Resident Evil 3” reimagining and Chris Redfield in “Resident Evil Village” and Nick Apostolides who plays Leon Kennedy in the reimagining's of “Resident Evil 2” and “Resident Evil 4” as well as the TV mini-series “Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness”.We discuss their approaches to adapting these legacy characters, the indelible imprint of the franchise, how it's not as different from film acting as some may think, as well as their most requested line readings. Let's explore the dangers of Raccoon City and beyond, survive a world of endless zombies and undead Doberman's, expose shadowy secret evil organizations and visit a village of crazed occultist with Nicole Tompkins, Jeff Schine and Nick Apostolides! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Irish Wolfhounds: Soulful Gentle Giants Love the Breeds returns as host Laura Reeves talks with Jamie Souza Bartlett about Irish Wolfhounds, the gentle giants of the dog world. [caption id="attachment_13583" align="alignleft" width="318"] Jamie grew up with Irish Wolfhounds with her mom, Linda Souza.[/caption] “They're just, they're soulful, they're sweet. They're the gentle giants and I was very, very fortunate to grow up with them,” Jamie says. “Wolfhounds, much like a lot of breeds, were bred for a specific purpose, which was to hunt wolves in Ireland. Eventually, the wolves became extinct in Ireland, and consequently the wolfhounds almost became extinct. And then several years later Captain Graham came along and really found that this was a breed that required rejuvenation and real, real rescuing and bringing back because they're just so wonderful. “You don't own wolfhounds, you're owned by them. It's not an easy breed to have by any means. It comes with its own set of issues. But when you do own them and you're owned by them, there's just really no greater thing in the world. They are so soulful and so wonderful and like, you become part wolfhound. Feeding “As a young dog, they eat quite a bit because you're looking at a puppy that is a pound when it's born and it'll be 100 pounds by the time it's six months old. So the growth rate is very rapid and they do eat quite a bit as babies. And then quite quickly, once they kind of reach their full height it curbs significantly because you're not looking at a dog that's like a Doberman or something that's constantly pacing, constantly moving around. They will have bursts of energy. Big burst of energy in the morning, big burst of energy when it gets cold at night, and the rest of the time they're chilling. So they really don't eat as much as an adult as one would think, considering their size. [caption id="attachment_13582" align="alignright" width="521"] Puppies in the breed grow fast![/caption] “I always encourage anybody to listen to their breeder and their breeding program because different lines tend to evolve differently and grow at different rates. We were always just really careful. We wanted them off of puppy food and anything that was promoting rapid growth as quickly as possible. We're trying to do things that are keeping them from growing too fast, which is kind of like the opposite of what a lot of other people do or they want them to like beef up. Really, that's absolutely what we don't want to do. Exercise “We also have a lot of protocols, not just around food, but around exercise. And we tell all of our new puppy buyers like you have to be very, very careful with this breed as they're growing up. And again, the inclination is like, ‘ohh, I got a puppy and I want it to go run around and play with my other dogs and I want it to be jumping around and being goofy' and it's just a hard no. “Until these dogs' growth plates close you can do really, really irreparable damage and we tell people don't take them into the hotel rooms and let them jump on the beds and jump down, you don't want all that impact on them as they're growing. Once they hit that two year old range then we'll start putting them out carefully with other dogs. It was one of the great things actually about having whippets. My whippets are fantastic exercising our wolfhound puppies, right, because there was no to low impact, but it helped with their movement. They're running, but kept them developmentally in a good place where they weren't getting injuries to the shoulders or elbows or anything else.”

How can you optimize your pipeline to ensure accurate forecasting and set your team up for success? Join me and my guest, Walter Crosby, as we explore how transforming ineffective habits can lead to better outcomes in your sales process. By the end of this episode, you'll gain clarity on your pipeline and learn to identify which prospects are most likely to deliver the results you need. Meet Walter Crosby Walter Crosby is a seasoned sales expert and business consultant with decades of experience in helping organizations refine their sales processes and drive sustainable growth.  He specializes in developing tailored strategies that align sales pipelines with business goals.  His expertise lies in sales leadership, process optimization, and revenue forecasting. Accuracy in Sales Forecasting  Walter shares actionable tips for creating accurate sales forecasts.  The key takeaway? Quality over quantity.  Learn how to identify realistic opportunities and focus on meaningful data, ensuring your forecasts are reliable and actionable. Gatekeeping: Building the Right Pipeline  Your pipeline is only as good as what you let in.  Walter introduces the concept of a "gate" for qualifying potential leads before they enter your sales process. This ensures you're targeting the right prospects, saving time, and increasing conversion rates. Planning for Contingencies  Unexpected challenges are inevitable, but how prepared are you?  Walter discusses how to incorporate contingency planning into your pipeline strategy to mitigate risks and keep deals moving forward. Mindfulness for Precise Sales Forecasting  Precision requires discipline. Walter explains how adopting a mindful approach to pipeline management and forecasting can lead to higher win rates and better decision-making at every stage of the sales process. "The pipeline is wrong because we're not qualifying these people in advance. We are putting in too much junk. We don't have, you know, St. Peter at the gate, right? Or a Doberman, something. We're letting any and everybody come through." - Walter Crosby.  Resources Walter Crosby on LinkedIn  Scale Your Sales by Walter Crosby Sponsorship Offers This episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.

"We don't get better when we're under stress, we get worse. We get quiet and we get isolated and nobody sees us. The success came when I changed the way I was dealing with my problems and became a more empathetic leader." Early in my career, I was known as “the Doberman.” I managed with an iron fist and thought fear was the way to get things done. Meanwhile I was feeling isolated, stressed out, and disconnected. I was raising my voice, intimidating staff, and constantly feeling the weight of leadership alone. It was like being lost. I was being buried by insecurity. After a while I had a realization that changed the way I lead. Read about it in my blog.  Notable Moments 04:24 Creating a positive, supportive work environment. 07:23 Stress and pressure can lead to isolation and anxiety. 10:18 Handle problems promptly to avoid overwhelming stress. 14:58 Success grows when leaders treat people well. 18:55 Seek help if the pressure of leadership leads to loneliness and isolation.  22:01 Encourage conversation through engagement and resources Resources The Cockerell Academy About Lee Cockerell Mainstreet Leader Jody Maberry Travel Guidance Magical Vacation Planners are my preferred travel advisors.
