Most companies recruit interns to take work off someone's plate. Your Health does the opposite — and it's why several of its current executives, including a Chief Information Officer, first walked in the door as interns. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Heather Bower, Director of Experiential Learning, who has taken the reins of Your Health's internship, mentorship, preceptorship, and apprenticeship programs. Heather shares how a long-standing program is being rebuilt with structure, data, and intention — organized into semester cohorts, anchored by a four-day all-company orientation, and designed so every intern owns a project with genuine stakes. In this conversation, you'll hear: Why "get interns because they're cheap" is exactly the wrong spirit — and what replaces it How one MBA intern's shadowing experience redirected him toward nursing school The "spreadsheet whisperer" intern who taught regional leadership to pull data faster What surprises interns most once they're inside healthcare: the human complexity How Your Health uses feedback loops to move interns toward roles where they'll actually shine If you're early in your career and unsure where you fit, this episode is a map to possibilities you may not know exist. Press play and rethink what an internship can really be. www.YourHealth.Org

Ana Huang spent years living a double life: international relations scholar, Georgetown grad, geopolitical consultant by day, and secret romance novelist by night. She quietly uploaded chapters to Wattpad under a pen name no one in her life knew, and kept writing even as she built a conventional career that would make her immigrant parents proud. On this episode of She Pivots, Ana shares how COVID cracked her life open, how she taught herself TikTok before BookTok was even a thing, and how she built a community of millions one chapter at a time, all while still clocking in at her day job. She talks about the moment she finally told her family the truth, why she said no to major publishers when Twisted Love blew up, and what it means to bet on yourself. Her Twisted series has now sold over 25 million copies, been translated into 34 languages, and is headed to Netflix—and her new book, King of Gluttony, is out now.

Welcome to another episode of Invest & Scale! In today's conversation, we sit down with Jimmy Rousey, a seasoned entrepreneur and mentor whose journey from small‑town beginnings to billion‑dollar growth is built on grit, faith, and generosity. He reflects on decades of acquisitions, lessons from both wins and failures, and why values‑aligned partnerships are essential in business.Jimmy also shares the principles guiding his decisions, his approach to mentorship, and the inspiration behind his book Call to Care, which challenges us to integrate faith, purpose, and generosity into every investment. Whether you're an acquisition entrepreneur, investor, or seeking purpose‑driven insights, this episode delivers wisdom you won't want to miss.00:00 Defining the triple bottom line06:32 First time acquiring a business08:38 Building a diverse investment portfolio11:59 Navigating SBA loan programs16:11 Partnering on investment deals18:34 Discussing startup execution challenges20:30 Being bold and handling setbacks25:49 The importance of earning respect27:07 Unexpected impact of book sales31:18 Defining personal financial contentment1. Early Career and Banking - Jimmy grew up in a small town, skipped college, and pursued real estate and auctioneering before meeting Jess Correll. He joined First Southern National Bank when it held $21M in assets; it later grew to $1.2B.2. Culture and Faith - He realized all assets belonged to God, donated 10% of pre‑tax earnings to a foundation, and embraced the triple bottom line. The bank thrived even after his retirement.3. Mentorship - Jimmy distinguishes workplace mentorship from deeper faith‑based mentoring. Guided by Jess Correll and others, he continues mentoring students and prison ministry participants.4. Acquisition Mindset - Inspired by entrepreneurial banking initiatives, he bought and turned around troubled banks, expanded into royalties, land, oil, and equities, and stressed the importance of strong partners.5. Partnership Lessons - Success included a $7.5M investment sold for $120M. Failures became education. He identifies four partner types and emphasizes vetting and spending time with them.6. Debt and Lending - Jimmy advocates financial stability, avoiding excessive debt, and quick repayment of SBA 7A loans. Compass Financial principles guided borrowers toward healthier outcomes.7. Deal Structures - He prefers equal capital plus industry knowledge partnerships, is cautious with sweat equity, and notes differences between venture risk and acquisitions.8. Startups vs. Existing Businesses - His track record: 0 for 13 in startups. Execution and distribution matter more than ideas; superior products failed without strong distribution.9. Faith in Business - Prayer and Christian principles were integrated voluntarily. Employees ran support funds, Compass classes, and generosity initiatives in a non‑coercive environment.10. Call to Care - Encouraged by his wife, Jimmy authored Call to Care, a framework for growing people professionally, emotionally, and spiritually. CARE stands for Calling, Attitude, Respect, Excellence. He shares humility about failures and family traditions teaching generosity.11. Growth and Legacy - He redefines growth by asking “how much is enough?” and focuses on giving rather than accumulating. Conferences on generosity reinforced contentment. His legacy centers on love and spiritual encouragement for family.12. Hope and Encouragement - Mentorship is rooted in hope. Prison ministry examples show transformation. Encouragement is a powerful investment in others.13. Advice for Entrepreneurs - Integrate faith, mission, and business. Avoid money‑only focus; honor God in ventures. Transforming business culture post‑acquisition shows perseverance leads to success.14. Closing Thoughts - Jimmy advises: get facts, ask questions, avoid emotional decisions, and pray. Keep God central in business. The episode closes with thanks and encouragement.

You might think you don't know Christophe Szpajdel's work. You almost certainly do. The Emperor logo. The Metallica Mankind clip. The Rihanna lettering that went a hundred feet high at the MTV VMAs. If you've spent any time near heavy music, his hand has been on things you've stared at without knowing his name.This week we sit down with the man known as Lord of the Logos — Belgian-born, Devon-based, currently on shift at the Co-op — to talk about a career that has produced somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 logos, and counting. We get into his early years doodling in school notebooks in Liège, the Art Nouveau obsession that underpins everything, and how a chance encounter on the Tube ended with his work displayed at one of the biggest awards shows on the planet for £500 — a fee he only learned was for Rihanna after he'd already quoted it.We cover the Emperor logo that defined his reputation, the Metallica commission that required him to draw at Heathrow five hours before a flight to Japan, and the Foo Fighters Christmas jumper that was a mutilation of his work, and what he did about it. We also discuss the readability question that divides the scene, the three-month creative block triggered by a South Korean band, his forestry degree and why nature sits at the centre of everything he makes, and the political stance on Ukraine that has cost him ten logos in one go.The question running through all of it: how does someone this prolific stay original?Highlights 00:00 Intro 01:00 Meet Christophe Szpajdel — Lord of the Logos 04:00 Logo Count and the Goal of 20,000 by 2030 06:00 The Process Explained 09:00 The Unsung Logo and Chris's Tattoo 10:00 Background: Belgium, Poland, Ukraine, Devon 11:00 The Co-op Day Job and Why It Works 13:00 Side Projects: Murals and the Polish Calendar 17:00 Musical Influences: Kiss, Motörhead, Celtic Frost 19:00 First Logos and Early Career 21:00 The Emperor Logo 25:00 Chilean Influence: Rick Zuniga 26:00 Nature, Art Nouveau, and the Forestry Degree 28:00 Best Work Comes from Anger or Obsession with Death 29:00 Symmetry, Creative Block, and the Client Problem 33:00 Live: Working Through the Drag Logo 38:00 The Readability Debate 43:00 The Rihanna Story 47:00 Metallica at Heathrow 53:00 The Foo Fighters Bootleg Response 54:00 The Mandy Soundtrack 57:00 AI and Market Saturation 59:00 Ukraine, Politics, and the Russian Flatmate 01:02:00 Losing Ten Logos Over a Political Stance 01:03:00 Black Metal, Church Burnings, and Forbidden Fruit 01:08:00 The Trump/Putin Artwork 01:09:00 The Books: Lord of the Logos, Archaic Modernism, Oracles in Black

Step into Episode 216 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Roland Wood III — a Phoenix-born, west-side-raised finance veteran who went from staff accountant to CFO across some of Arizona's most recognized restaurant concepts, including Grimaldi's and Square One. Roland pulls back the curtain on what a CFO actually does, why the best ones never win a popularity contest, and how "if the math doesn't math" sometimes the answer just has to be no.From navigating 50 Grimaldi's locations during a financial restructuring and securing $6–7M in COVID relief programs for Square One, to breaking down food cost management, inventory tech, marketing ROI, and the real value of fractional CFO services for growing hospitality groups — this conversation is packed with honest, practical perspective that operators, owners, and industry professionals rarely get to hear. Roland also unpacks why cutting quality to save margin is a long-game trap, how to use fixed pricing agreements to avoid supply volatility, and why "you will never save your way to prosperity."Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 1:50) Delo's New Book: Risky Business & Intro to Roland Wood III(1:51 - 5:06) Roland's Background, West Side Phoenix & the Restaurant Scene(5:07 - 9:28) School, ASU, Early Career & How Roland Landed in Restaurants(9:29 - 13:54) What a CFO Actually Does: Banking, Cash Flow & Hard Conversations(13:55 - 17:22) Grimaldi's: 50 Locations, Capital Structure & Food Cost Differences(17:23 - 21:38) Inventory Tech, ERP Systems, Cogswell, Craftable & Portion Decisions(21:39 - 25:09) Food Pricing Strategy, Fixed Agreements & Hedging Against Volatility(25:10 - 27:52) Marketing ROI: How Finance Holds Marketing Accountable for Traffic(27:53 - 32:28) Square One: COVID-Era Entry, Multi-Concept Finance & Barrett's Portfolio(32:29 - 34:47) Fractional CFO Services: Who It's For, Ideal Client & the Value Proposition(34:48 - 42:21) Rapid Fire + Roland's Finance Philosophy: Invest, Don't Just Cut(42:22 - 42:43) Delo's Close, Book Promo & Podcast Sponsor Mention

Most startups don't fail from lack of ideas. They fail because people quit too early—or play it too safe. Graham Hobson built a €100M business starting with a simple frustration: printing photos of his kids. What followed wasn't a smooth growth curve—it was years of uncertainty, near failure, and painfully slow progress. In this conversation, we unpack the real psychology behind building something that lasts. Not hustle. Not hacks. But resilience, emotional insight, and the ability to keep going when the rewards are invisible. Graham shares how surviving the dot-com crash shaped his thinking, why hiring for values beats hiring for talent, and how the most successful businesses often start with deeply human problems. Reframe uncertainty as a normal part of meaningful progress Focus on emotional value, not just functional output Build resilience by solving problems, not avoiding them If you're building something—or thinking about it—this episode will change how you measure progress.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Cree Scott, clinical psychologist, founder of Serenity Psy Consulting, and our guest for Episode 21. Dr. Scott recorded with us in November 2025 and passed away in December. Her episode aired posthumously in March 2026, timed to the launch of her book. Her wisdom, her warmth, and her work live on. Rest well, Dr. Cree. Twenty-eight episodes. One theme. And more wisdom than could have been anticipated when Season 8 began. In this solo season finale, Laura reflects on the conversations, themes, and light bulb moments that defined Season 8 of Black Woman Leading. Rather than revisiting episodes one by one, Laura organizes her reflections around five powerful themes that emerged across the season — themes that collectively paint a picture of what it truly means to Lean Into Joy as a Black woman leader. The five themes Laura explores are Joy as Resistance and Reclamation, The Identity Reckoning, The Body, Burnout, and the Strong Black Woman Trope, Career Navigation in a Shifting World, and Connection, Community, and Leading Beyond Yourself. Along the way, she weaves in moments from guest conversations across the season, naming what landed, what shifted, and what she will carry forward. Laura also does something she has not done all season: she answers the Leaning Into Joy questions she asked every guest. What is her definition of joy? What does leading with joy look like at this stage of her career? Has she ever had to re-learn joy after a difficult season? And what is bringing her joy right now — and how does she protect it? The episode closes with a warm send-off to the Season 8 community and a first look at what Season 9 will explore: the art of cultivating relationships that are authentic, boundaried, and rooted in who you actually are — with yourself, your team, your community, and the people in your personal life who make sustainable leadership possible. Season 8 was about reclaiming joy. Season 9 is about building from that place of wholeness.  Stay tuned! About Laura Laura Knights is the Creator of Black Woman Leading® and host of the podcast.

The system was not built for women raising capital, so Melissa Wallace built a new way forward. Melissa is the founder of Fierce Foundry, the first femtech venture studio in the United States. Long before she was reshaping how female founder funding works, she was sorting babysitting money into labeled envelopes and selling handmade greeting cards door-to-door with her dad's old briefcase. The instinct to build was always there, even before she had the language for it. With host Syama Bunten, Melissa shares the personal story behind the mission. She talks about a marriage in her twenties that ended with her ex-husband emptying her bank accounts after she asked for space, and a divorce process where she was willing to give up everything just to walk away clean. She shares how she went on to build a marketing agency, learned to lead instead of carrying every task herself, and kept seeing the same funding gap show up for women in health tech. Investors wanted proof of customers. Founders needed help getting customers. Too many had no early capital to make either happen. That loop is what Fierce Foundry was built to break. As a venture studio for women, it acts as a co-founder from day one, not a short-term program with a graduation date. It brings early capital, skilled operators, and support from idea through exit. This conversation offers a clearer path for any founder trying to understand how to raise pre-seed funding without relying on the usual gatekeepers. Women raising capital in femtech startups should not have to prove they belong before they even get started. Melissa is building the infrastructure to help more women build, fund, and scale what the world has been missing. If this conversation moved you, keep it going.

He specializes in connecting brand identity directly to corporate growth strategy, purpose, and narrative development. Weber Shandwick: Prior to joining M&C Saatchi, he served as the Executive Vice President and Global Head of Consulting and Corporate Brand at Weber Shandwick. Ogilvy Consulting: For nearly a decade, Schrage was a Partner and Principal with Ogilvy Consulting, the strategy and innovation branch of the creative network. There, he managed the group and oversaw a high-profile portfolio of clients primarily in the financial services and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sectors, including American Express, Capital One, Coca-Cola, Citizens Bank, and Robert Half.

In this episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Eunice Dugan, a graduating interventional and structural heart disease fellow at the Cleveland Clinic, as she prepares to transition into independent practice in Fort Wayne in the summer of 2026. Dr Dugan reflects on how early mentorship shaped her decision to engage with the American College of Cardiology during fellowship, and what professional societies can offer beyond the clinical environment — from expanding skill sets and building lasting networks to driving meaningful change. She shares how her role as a local FIT representative led her to organise a widely attended webinar helping fellows navigate the new interventional cardiology match. The conversation also tackles the attrition challenge that affects many early-career cardiologists in their first three to five years of practice: Dr Dugan, now transitioning into the ACC's Early Career Council, discusses the "fog" of establishing a new career and makes the case for cultivating a specific project during fellowship as a professional anchor through the pressures of a new post, relocation, and family life. She also speaks to her advocacy for women in cardiology, including championing open discussion around family planning and reproductive strategies — topics that remain underaddressed in the field. Questions and comments can be sent to podcast@radcliffe-group.com and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode.

Show Notes: From Hiking to River Cruises Lauren Messmore opens the conversation by sharing her experience of hiking Hadrian's Wall in England with her husband, which she describes as a highlight of her international travels. She explains that her husband, an anglophile,  had the idea and that she enjoyed the travel and training for the hike, and that she had also lived in England for a few years in the '90s. Lauren details her training routine, including walking six to seven miles two to three times a week and using hiking sticks. They used a service called Mac Adventure for the hike, which provided luggage transport and accommodations. Lauren mentions that after the hiking adventure, she and her husband have shifted to less arduous travel, such as river cruises. She describes a river cruise on the Danube, ending in Budapest, and an upcoming trip to France and Normandy.  Starting a Career on Wall Street After graduation and a brief backpacking trip to Europe, Lauren launched into her career as an investment banking analyst on Wall Street. She talks about the challenges and excitement of her first day on the job. She contrasts the investment banking culture with her academic experience at Harvard, noting the strict adherence to rules and lack of creativity in the banking world. Lauren discusses her experience working in London and Madrid, including the unique challenges of being an American woman in a male-dominated field.  A Career Shift to M&A in Madrid Lauren describes the transition to Madrid, where she worked on a mix of mergers and acquisitions and capital markets transactions. Lauren highlights the millennium bug and the subsequent acquisition of her office by Citigroup, which led to her move to Spain. She shares her experience of learning Spanish on the job and the importance of being fluent in English for international transactions. She also talks about the cultural and personal differences she experienced in business transactions and expectations while working at Citigroup and the difficulties she faced when she decided to leave Citigroup.  Launching an Investment Banking Boutique Lauren talks about starting her own investment banking boutique in 2002. She explains the challenges of working in a small market like Spain and the cultural clash with the American banking model. Lauren describes the success of her boutique, which focused on private equity clients and independent advisory work. She mentions the financial crisis of 2008 and the impact on her business, leading to a liquidity event and her return to the United States. Returning to the U.S. Lauren talks about her return to the United States and the financial crisis's impact on her business, including the divestment of her solar farms. She describes the decision to cash out and the subsequent reinvention of her career in Boston. Lauren took a year off to recharge and plot a new course, eventually finding a strategic consultant role at a community bank. She became the CFO of the bank, which underwent a significant acquisition and went public, marking a shift from advisory to operational roles. The Current Career Path Lauren explains her current career path, focusing on creating a portfolio of Board of Directors positions. She describes the process of building this portfolio over three years and the satisfaction of having a busy but less demanding workload. Lauren emphasizes the importance of taking time off to recharge and plot a new course, especially after significant life changes. She shares her approach to setting New Year's resolutions, focusing on easy but impactful habits like daily flossing, drinking two cups of water, and daily stretching. Harvard Reflections When asked about a compliment she has never forgotten, Lauren shares a memory of being told she was a leader, which changed her self-perception. She emphasizes the importance of betting on oneself and encouraging others to do the same. She shares a few  simple New Year's resolutions and reflects on the importance of small, repetitive routines and their cumulative impact over time. She mentions taking Spanish at Harvard, which turned out to be the most useful course for her career.

In this episode I'm joined by writer Courtney Ann LaFaive to discuss the life and work of the famous 20th century astrologer Linda Goodman, who wrote the highest-selling astrology book of all time. In 1968, Linda's book Sun Signs became a runaway phenomenon, selling millions of copies and becoming the first astrology book to make the New York Times bestseller list. Goodman's approachable writing style appealed to a wide variety of readers, and helped to catalyze a massive boom in astrology in the late 1960s and 70s, serving as the gateway for millions of people to discover their full birth chart. She then followed this up in 1978 with another successful book titled Love Signs, which was on relationship compatibility between zodiac signs. This book set a record at the time for the highest advance ever paid to an author, which was 2.25 million dollars, and helped to make the question "What's your sign?" a ubiquitous cultural catchphrase. However in her later years Goodman struggled to cope with immense personal loss, most notably the tragic death of her daughter in 1973, and her inability to distinguish between reality and illusion. Courtney is the author of a new book titled Follow the Signs: Searching for Linda Goodman, America's Forgotten Astrology Queen. The book is a memoir about a period of her life spent researching Linda Goodman's biography for her PhD thesis, and the difficulties she faced in the process of piecing together Linda's nebulous story. Together, we explore and attempt to document the incredible life, complex legacy, and lasting astrological impact of Linda Goodman. This is episode 536 of The Astrology Podcast.

The hardest part of becoming a plastic surgeon isn't always the operating room, it's building a career that still feels like yours once training ends. We sit down with Drs. Ashley Amalfi and Smita Ramanadham  to talk candidly about early career plastic surgery, why both started in academic medicine, and what ultimately pushed them toward private practice. We get specific about the decision points that don't show up in residency: board case collection, the underrated value of colleague support, and the real-world friction that can come with red tape, weak mentorship, and misaligned RVU compensation. Dr. Amalfi shares how a group practice model can create freedom through shared resources and reliable partners. Dr. Ramanadham breaks down the solo private practice reality, from HR and operations to the discipline of not discounting and instead building a boutique patient experience that matches your brand. We also dig into plastic surgery marketing and branding, including why social media matters for modern aesthetic patients, how to stay authentic and professional, and what a thoughtful consent process looks like. From private equity trends to the idea that it's okay to change your mind after your first job, the big takeaway is simple: your practice model should fit your priorities, your personality, and your life outside surgery

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell sits down with Ryan Soskin, Co-Founder and CEO of GoodShip, to explore how the company is transforming freight orchestration and procurement for large shippers. Ryan shares his journey through Coyote, Convoy, and Stord, and how those experiences shaped Goodship's focus on disciplined capital deployment, high hiring standards, and truly shipper-centric tools. They dive into why shipper decision-making is much messier than simple rate-based bids, how GoodShip connects procurement and day-to-day network orchestration, and the role of Laney, their new AI transportation analyst, in turning complex transportation data into fast, actionable insights. The conversation also covers why neutrality (remaining a pure software layer, not a freight participant) is critical to earning shipper trust, how the freight tech stack is likely to consolidate into a single operating system powered by AI, and what Ryan has learned stepping into the founder role while scaling GoodsShip after a $25M Series B.

Send us Fan MailLois Brady on Autism Digest, Real Stories, and Raising Expectations in Autism Support Host Tony Mantor welcomes Lois Brady, publisher of Autism Digest and a speech-language pathologist, to discuss how the magazine blends expert guidance with lived experience using multimedia features like QR-linked videos. Brady shares how writing Apps for Autism and contributing to Autism, Asperger's Digest led to her acquiring the publication nearly two years ago. As the mother of an autistic son, she describes early signs, being brushed off by providers, choosing not to label him in school, and the long-term effort that helped him become independent and employed, though social challenges remain. Brady emphasizes early identification, practical parent strategies, and avoiding the Rosenthal Effect of low expectations, including teaching non-speaking individuals to type. She describes a breakthrough with a non-speaking child using text-to-speech, addresses public misconceptions, contrasts meltdowns with tantrums, discusses Asperger's being folded into autism, highlights Temple Grandin's practical advice, and explores how AI can support early intervention and diagnostic cues. 00:00 Show Intro and Mission 01:21 Meet Lois Brady 02:18 How Autism Digest Began 04:28 Early Career and Inspiration 05:14 A Mom's Diagnosis Journey 07:39 Early Signs and Adulthood Today 09:16 How Autism Understanding Evolved 10:33 Raising Expectations and Communication 12:16 Typing Breakthrough Story 14:24 Lessons from Autistic Voices 16:06 Media Myths and Public Understanding 17:43 Aspergers vs Autism 18:17 AI for Early Support 21:10 From Cure to Support 22:51 Temple Grandin Wisdom 24:25 Meltdowns vs Tantrums 25:41 Stories and Rising Rates 28:52 Success and High Expectations 29:57 Transitions and Exposure 31:06 Ask Learn Connect INTRO/OUTRO Music: T.
