ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 054 RARE. — A Brand with a Purpose: Theresa Thomas and Kristine Hoestermann Theresa Thomas and Kristine Hoestermann nurtured their own outlets of blogging and art and found each other online through the power of a hashtag. They fueled the spark of when they met into a glowing fire as they continue to pour their energy into RARE.— a brand with a purpose and also their podcast, Because We Are Strong. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS How did you come to be part of the rare community? Theresa: I became a part of the rare disease community when my son was born with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, an overgrowth disorder with an increased risk of developing cancer. One side of his body is bigger, he has a large tongue, his organs are bigger and he was almost 12 pounds when he was born. My son Owen is screened for cancer every three months along with abdominal ultrasounds and blood work. He's had one surgery on his tongue and has been hospitalized many times for respiratory issues. Otherwise, he's a fierce two year old in a five year old's body.  Kristine: I was 27 when the onset of my symptoms started. I knew something was wrong, some people didn't believe me, it was hard to get a clear diagnosis and it took a toll on my mental health. Currently, I have 42 running diagnoses. I got sicker and sicker and felt more and more isolated. It never occurred to me that I could wake up sick and never get better.  How did the two of you find one another and connect? Theresa: I started my blog March 2019 and I started searching for Beckwith Wiedemann families and other rare disease resources. I was searching using hashtags and came across Christine's Instagram, RARE. I reached out to her to ask if I could share her website and merchandise and we started talking everyday talking about awareness merchandise and soon realized we had the same mission.  Tell us about how RARE. was started and what it is. Kristine: Because I didn't yet have a name for my condition, I never felt like I could go into a support group because I didn't have a diagnosis and didn't know where I belonged. I felt alone and started creating things to help me express myself so that I felt seen.  Theresa: RARE. is an apparel brand geared towards raising awareness for rare disease, chronic illness and invisible struggles. It's a way of acknowledging that everyone is struggling with something. It's not always a rare disease or chronic illness that's invisible. It's more than clothes, it's about starting a conversation.  What changed for you personally after you connected? Theresa: I'm a woman of faith and I felt God gave me this gift to unwrap and run with. At the time, I wasn't sure what was going to happen with my career. I felt there was no way this was a fluke and I found comfort in knowing I could relate to someone else and I felt renewed. Kristine: I had a drive, but felt I wasn't going to do it alone. There were people helping out, but nothing felt right. When Theresa and I collided, I knew it was what we were suppose to do and we've been through so much in such a short period of time and we just figure it out each time. We balance each other well in business.  Tell us about your podcast, Because We Are Strong. Theresa: Because We Are Strong was initially a Facebook live session I did with Beckwith-Wiedemann families who I was connected with. I recently decided with Kristine to make these sessions into a podcast and make it a platform for everyone under RARE.  LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED Because We Are Strong Podcast https://findyourrare.com/pages/downloadables RARE.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 052 Adam Johnson - Rare Disease Dad on Mitochondrial Myopathy and Owning Your Story Adam “DadVocate” Johnson is a dad, diagnosed with Mitochondrial Myopathy. He blogs about his rare disease story, grief and experience on his blog, Owning My Story.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS How did you come to be a part of the rare disease community? When I was thinking I was a typical, healthy 35 year old, I got the flu that turned into pneumonia and bronchitis. I wanted to get back into self-care and working out and feeling better after that and I made a good push. I noticed during my workouts that I was struggling to push on. I knew something wasn't quite right. I had my first fall and knew I couldn't ignore what was going on any longer and that began a series of appointments seeing doctors and specialists. No results were populating red flags, but I was extremely fatigued and kept falling. A doctor did a muscle biopsy and that turned up a diagnosis of Mitochondrial Myopathy. Why did it take so long to get the test needed to get diagnosed with Mitochondrial Myopathy? Mitochondrial disease is difficult to diagnose and can take some time. After I was diagnosed, I found a support group and shared my journey. So many others in the support group shared the same experience and even went years before receiving a diagnosis. It's such a rare disease that it's not widely known and doctors don't have experience with it. Have you found a lot of other parents that have a rare disease? I'm still looking, but I've appreciated the support I've received from so many in the rare disease community. I notice a lot of groups of rare disease patients of rare disease kids, but I haven't found a group of parents with rare disease. I'm continuing to branch out and make those connections in this very specific niche. I'd like to talk to others who have had similar experiences. I have pretty specific worries and concerns that I want to connect with others on.  What are some of the moments that help you persevere when you're feeling defeated? My kids help me smile and push ahead. When I first received my diagnosis, my daughter was doing a science project in school on the human body. She wanted to choose mitochondria. I felt bad in the moment, but it was her moment to explore, learn, grieve and share with her classmates. That helped me push through and persevere because she made me feel like I had my own little advocate by my side. People in the rare disease community have been instrumental as well. I listened to the podcast episode with Taylor Kane and I connected with it so much. I'm appreciative of my family and others in the community that help me move forward. What has your family changed since you were diagnosed? It's changed a lot. It was a transition for me stepping back from work. The pandemic is adding an additional layer to things. It's a lot to go through for me and my family as I try to balance being home, being present and helping while taking care of myself. Before the pandemic, I was struggling to take care of myself and now it's an additional stress that's altered things quite a bit. A big thing is that I can't participate in things with the kids in a way that I could before. I found Brian Wallach on Twitter, was scrolling through and saw a tweet that read, "I just watched our girls roll down a hill giggling like crazy. A year ago I was rolling with them. A part of me seethed at the progression of my ALS and what it has taken away. Another smiled like a maniac, giggling as loud as our girls, grateful to be there." I felt that so much and I really connected with that. The paradox of balancing the loss and being present while trying to enjoy a moment is a challenge sometimes.  What lessons have you learned that you can share with others who are feeling alone as a parent with a rare disease diagnosis? I wish I had known when I was diagnosed that I wasn't the only one. I wish I understood that there was more to come after the diagnosis. It's still difficult when I think of things in the past and miss doing things, or miss my job. These things remain true, but I can move forward and find new things to do. If you're newly diagnosed, you're not alone. Any disease or challenge that comes up doesn't define you and it's not the end of you.  LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED Owning My Story Blog https://rarediseasedad.com/owning-my-story-blogs David Kessler and Brené on Grief and Finding Meaning https://brenebrown.com/podcast/david-kessler-and-brene-on-grief-and-finding-meaning/ Dr. Marc Brackett and Brené on "Permission to Feel" https://brenebrown.com/podcast/dr-marc-brackett-and-brene-on-permission-to-feel/ Permission to Feel Book https://www.amazon.com/Permission-Feel-Unlocking-Emotions-Ourselves/dp/1250212847 It's OK That You're Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand https://www.amazon.com/Its-That-Youre-Not-Understand/dp/1622039076 Rare Like Us with Taylor Kane https://effieparks.com/podcast/episode-38-rare-like-us-with-taylor-kane Brian Wallach on Twitter https://twitter.com/bsw5020 CONNECT WITH ADAM JOHNSON Twitter  @RareDiseaseDad Instagram  @RareDiseaseDad Email  RareDiseaseDad@gmail.com Website https://rarediseasedad.com/ TUNE INTO THE ONCE UPON A GENE PODCAST Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5Htr9lt5vXGG3ac6enxLQ7 Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/once-upon-a-gene/id1485249347 Stitcher https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/once-upon-a-gene Overcast https://overcast.fm/itunes1485249347/once-upon-a-gene CONNECT WITH EFFIE PARKS Website https://effieparks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/OnceUponAGene Instagram https://www.instagram.com/onceuponagene.podcast/?hl=en Built Ford Tough Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1877643259173346/

In this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck talk about their per hour work rate and the significance of staying in your lane. Episode Highlights: How much is Kyle’s work rate per hour? (1:30) David mentions that he made four dollars per hour at his first job. (1:53) David shares a conversation he had with someone about the Grain of Salt theory. (2:47) David mentions that back in the day, minimum wage was as low as it was because there wasn't much of a change. (4:36) What’s the current minimum wage? (4:46) David shares that this episode precipitated from a conversation that he had with a guy about the significance of staying in your lane. (6:02) David thinks that a lot of people don’t stop and think about their rate per hour. (6:16) Kyle thinks that the only time you do it is when it takes a long time to get the deal done. (6:33) David talks about the conversation that he had with a guy that he knows well, but he’s not going to mention his name, and the guy was talking about his staffing company. (6:41) David shares that the guy was blinded by the premium, but he wasn't seeing that he was the fifth agency those people had. (7:24) In David’s opinion, if you take your time on the front end, it's not like you're investing days of your life. (8:37) Kyle thinks that getting blinded by the premiums is natural. (9:27) Does Kyle know someone who knows how much they make per hour? (9:38) David thinks that if you're a producer, and you're not keeping a log of your time, you're ruining it. (11:37) Kyle thinks that he ends up losing his time when he has to deal with the smaller business that’s either been referred to him or spending his time quoting, or answering questions and phone calls from them. (12:26) David shares that if you want to be a trusted advisor and you have a value proposition, you have to identify your work rate per hour and figure out on the front end if those deals are worth your time. (13:15) Does David have other formulas? (14:17) Kyle mentions the only issue that always drives him crazy is when the insured is not willing to give the correct information. (17:15) David mentions that once you've been in the business for a bit, once you've done some research, and you've been on a few calls, you know who you're going to have success with. (18:34) Key Quotes: “I got a raise to five bucks an hour and I thought I had made it.. I thought I'd made my ascension into the aristocracy at that point. It was fantastic. I was 15 making five bucks an hour. That was like legend status at that point.” - David Carothers “You've got to define who you want to go after. And don't deviate from that.” - David Carothers “I think that's where we fall, man. We have such an opportunity to be in a lucrative occupation where you're gonna just score serious coin if you write the right type of stuff, that we don't stop and look at efficiency and how we're investing our time and what we're doing.” - David Carothers “You get blinded by the premiums and I think that's a natural thing, but you're totally right. I think you need to sit down, and figure out what your worth is when you're going through this.” - Kyle Houck “Agency principles by and large, when they're looking at efficiency, when they're looking to enhance profitability, they always look at the inward portion of the operation to make sure that the service people are turning enough tickets on time, you know that they're issuing the certificates as quickly as they come in, getting all their tasks closed out all of that, because it's tangible and easy for them to measure.” - David Carothers “The difference between the most successful people in any form of business not just in production, but in any kind of business, is they understand their value. They know what their value is, when you go after this stuff, you might get some endorphin release in your brain that gives you temporary pleasure over the fact that you closed something.” - David Carothers Resources Mentioned: David Carothers LinkedIn Kyle Houck LinkedIn Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes

Getting to see the way you've dealt with this and the pathways you've opened up, that has opened doorways to me as well. Now I feel comfortable dealing with and taking on more than just our journey and helping others with their journeys.

(14:40) Jason thinks that the aggregators and other groups are legitimate, but there are points that you need to know and understand that there are other avenues. (25:05) Jason explains the difference between clusters, and the aggregators or groups. (26:09) Jason mentions that clusters have all the contracts themselves. (27:08) Jason shares that most of the carriers should understand that the independent insurance industry system is getting young because they left them out with the training and the way that they pay. (27:55) Jason shares that the reason why he gets upset with clusters and other groups is because they don't do what they say and they only want your book of business.

"Positive change cannot be made without confidence." Confidence plays a vital role in making a positive change in your life, work, and the world. It can greatly affect your mindset in the simplest ways.

In this episode of the Explain This Book To Me podcast, host Josh Lipstone concludes his discussion with David Carothers, the author of the book, The Extra 2 Minutes.  They discuss how everything leading up to this moment has prepared us to close the deal and how to provide the client experience that no one has seen before. And David lets us in on a secret about his upcoming book.   Episode Highlights: How is David feeling with this being the last episode? (00:44) David mentions that he will write another book. (1:08) David shares that he’s had several people reach out to him from just hearing the podcast great (1:28) What has writing this book meant to David? (2:15) David thinks that he underestimated the reach that we have on people and our ability to influence people in changing the way they run their business, or they approach sales. (2:23) In David’s opinion, if the book has made enough impact on people, they'll take the time to go do that. (3:39) Josh shares the reason why he’s doing this podcast. (4:29) David mentions that he’s generous with his time, he likes helping people, and he likes knowing that the advice that he gave helps them win. (5:10) David tells Josh that he has never felt more vulnerable than writing a book and just putting it out to the public. (5:41) Josh mentions that this is making him contemplate writing a book. (6:18) David shares that writing a book is a good exercise and therapeutic. (6:25) David mentions that he’s one of those people where he can't just put something on the schedule that requires some level of creativity and thought into it. (7:20) If David could go back to when he was writing it, what would he have done differently, and what would he keep the same for writing the book? (8:01) Does David have any advice for the loyal readers who would be contemplating writing a book? (9:43) Josh mentions the next section of the book, which is closing the deal and it starts with Chapter 12, The Meeting. (10:03) Could David give us an example of how or what he would say to the prospect in discussing the journey, how he prospects, why he’s a good fit, and why they're a good fit? (11:47) David shares that it’s essential to know the prospects that you're going to be able to make the biggest impact on, and have the best opportunity to drive, and change in their organizations. (12:26) David shares one of the best success stories he ever had. (13:42) Does David ever get to the point and realize that the prospect is not a good fit for him and the agency, and how does he pivot the conversation to not move forward? (17:10) David shares that he doesn’t want to ask people about the insurance-related question because they're automatically associating that with having to physically purchase something, or prematurely make the decision to do business with him. (20:25) David explains the significance of the three questioning processes. (24:37) David thinks that people tend to make the mistake of talking badly about their competition. (27:03) David mentions his biggest concern. (29:44) What if David’s agency isn't appointed with the company, does it matter? (36:20) Josh shares that if you want to download a sample of the termination letter and bullet points, just open up the book, go to the last part of each section, and you will see a website. (38:17) Josh mentions the final section and chapter of the book which is Chapter 13, Onboarding. (38:32) Josh believes that the client’s experience is something that we all need to strive for, regardless of the type of industry or client we are dealing with. (39:02) Josh shares that this chapter consists of essentially six things that Florida risk partners do to provide a truly exceptional client experience. (39:32) David mentions his challenge for everyone. (44:57)       Key Quotes: “If you do your research and you find the hot buttons, and you know what's going to motivate somebody, then you go into that meeting, and it's more about you learning about them than it is them hearing you. Just spew out everything you possibly can in the limited amount of time about your business, you're going to gain their respect and their trust much quicker.” - David Carothers “My ultimate goal is to demonstrate that I know about them by asking questions that require them to give me answers to help me know them, on an even deeper level.” - David Carothers “Even though we're salespeople, we want to be called trusted advisors. And there's an art and a science to doing that. I talk about it all the time, it's not just art, it's not just a skill, it's both.” - David Carothers “When you think a good job is done, sit there and think, what's the one thing I can do to take this to the next level in two minutes or less? Then do it because that's what your competition isn't doing.” - David Carothers   Resources Mentioned: Florida Risk Partners David Carothers LinkedIn Joshua Lipstone LinkedIn Lipstone Insurance Group Book: The Extra 2 Minutes: How spending an extra 2 minutes on nearly anything in your sales career will take you from good to “best in class”!   Advertisers: Podium Agency Performance Partners

Money is not the root of all evil. It is only a tool that, with freewill, can be used to create independence for other people. Some might need it so that they can take care of their health. Others may want money so that they can spend more time with their families. There are also others who want to be financially independent so that they can have their own space to figure some things out. In this episode, I’m joined by Kaylee Mcmahon in one of my best interviews on this show. Kaylee was able to leverage multi-family real-estate to create independence for herself and, at the same time, teach other people how to do that as well. She’s a principle and a general partner, and has closed over $16 million worth of real estate. If you want to learn how to become independent using passive income, know how to discern whether someone’s a perfect fit for your team and how to find meaning and strength in the midst of adversity, then this episode is a must for you! Episode Highlights: How she got started with real estate Kaylee’s actual team composition The three most crucial positions in the business The importance of working with people who align with your values The distinction between a mentor and a sponsor The definition of a “rich” life How passive income empowers women with codependency Why building a reliable team is absolutely essential Why having your own space is critical to discovering your mission The value of networking and connecting with others Why having a great team results to success in real estate How to shift your mindset to rely on others How to find the right people for your team About Our Guest: Kaylee McMahon is the Founder of The Apartment Queen, ReByKaylee LLC Residential Real Estate Brokerage, General partner/Key Principle of a 45 MM Assets Under Management Texas, 17.1 MM Assets Under Management Phoenix Arizona, Owner & Principal and General Partner of a number of properties across Texas. Kaylee has purchased over 68.2 million in real estate as General partner and principle. She sold over 3 million dollars in residential real estate before transitioning into her current full time syndication role. Originally from Portland Oregon, host of InvestHER Dallas. She has started a podcast called #1 leading ladies where she interviews kick-ass women who are disrupting their industry and the REAL story of how they got where they are. She is developing technology to help make it easy and convenient for women to learn how to make passive income through apartment investing. The entire backbone of what gets Kaylee out of bed everyday is her “why”. This is something she will share when asked personally about it, but at a 30,000 foot view it is to create independence and space for those experiencing codependency and toxic relationships which hamper their ability to visualize and then manifest what their amazing reality truly could be. Her company culture models this why and is “Changing the face of multifamily” to bring more women into the light as powerhouse operators, key principles, and commercial brokers. We will create 1 billion more female investors and “givers”.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 039 Next Steps: A Journey Through CRPS to an Above-the-Knee Amputee with Whitney Lavender Whitney Lavender lives in Texas with her husband and two sons. I discovered her through her advocacy on Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). She was taking a walk one day and had an accident that changed her life forever. The accident even led to the discovery of another rare disease she was unknowingly dealing with. Whitney has lived with excruciating pain for years, has been in the hospital alone during Covid and had her leg amputated while isolated from her family. Whitney is an awesome advocate and she's been so brave to share her story along the way.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS How did you enter the world of rare? In November 2017, a normal day, I fell down the stairs, went down on my knees and hit the concrete at the bottom. I knew in the moment that I had hurt myself pretty badly. I could walk, nothing was broken, but my leg was swollen and bruised. After going to the doctor, the MRI showed nothing, there was fluid on my knee that could be remedied with physical therapy. Nothing was changing except that I was getting worse and physical therapy was only making things worse. The orthopedic surgeon I was seeing suspected I had CRPS and suggested I see a pain doctor. Three months after the accident, we got the confirmed diagnosis and started trying other treatments such as epidurals, nerve blocks and spinal cord stimulation. Nothing was working and my leg was just growing larger and I started getting worse in a lot of other ways. I started getting headaches, had an MRI done, saw a neurologist and found out I had a chiari malformation that I was born with. My skull didn't form all the way and my cerebellum had herniated into my spinal canal and it was blocking spinal fluid from flowing normally. In August, I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), which is a tissue connectivity disorder where the tissues and joints don't function correctly.  After you were diagnosed and the treatment plan wasn't working, what was your mental state? For the first year, I was not on social media and I was in a little hole all by myself. I was desperate for connection, understanding and answers, but I went the first year alone. I went to the NORD Conference in Houston last summer and I met someone there who had my disease. She gave me a great piece of advice when she said my world just got a lot bigger, not smaller. I went home, stepped out of my comfort zone and got on social media. What happened was I found the most amazing community who opened their arms, embraced me and welcomed me in. It changed everything. I went from being alone and depressed to realizing the good that can come from this. When did you find the doctor that knew how to help you and what was that like? It was life changing. It was my primary care physician who found him. My primary care physician has been very involved from the beginning, has seen how this has progressed and evolved, and has learned along with me and grown as a doctor. I'm thankful to have him in my corner.  Did the two doctors formulate a plan to amputate your leg? Yes, my leg was amputated on April 20th. It was a big thing losing a limb. You don't go into something like that lightly. Behind the scenes, my husband and I had talked about this for a year before the conversation with the doctor because we wanted to exhaust every other option. When we got to that point, they agreed it was time. The leg was sucking the life out of me. My body couldn't self-regulate and it was done trying to stop the disease from overtaking my leg. For me, amputating my leg was the best course of action and I've gotten my life back in only two months.  After your leg was amputated, what has happened with your pain from before to now? After surgery, I woke up with a blanket covering me and before I couldn't have a blanket on my leg. I realized I didn't feel pain other than surgical pain and the CRPS pain was completely gone. I woke up from surgery and the chains that bound me for so long were gone. Two months later, everything has healed beautifully, the pain from surgery is less and less everyday and we're starting the prosthetic journey. How will EDS continue to affect you? It tends to make me more clumsy, so I've been working with my occupational and physical therapists on that. It's a concern moving forward and I don't want to have another accident. I'm cautious with my surroundings and my footing and I probably always will be. I'll have to learn to listen to my body, which I've been bad about my entire life, unaware of the underlying issue. I'll be focusing on allowing myself time and grace because it's going to be a new balance and new life moving forward in a lot of ways.  It’s not too late to register for the NORD 2020 Living Rare, Living Stronger Patient and Family Forum streaming July 18th-19th.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 037 Founder of LakiKid: Sensory Tools for Home and Classroom with Jason Hsieh NORD, the National Organization for Rare Diseases invited me to be a speaker at the 2020 Living Rare, Living Stronger Patient and Family Forum on a breakout panel for caregivers. I'm going to be talking about stress reduction and emotional well being as a caregiver and I'd love for you to join virtually July 18th-19th, 2020.  Today I'm talking to Jason Hsieh, a local father whose son was diagnosed with autism and ADHD. There were limited resources and therapy opportunities in Japan at the time of the diagnosis, so his family moved to Seattle to get the help they needed for their son. He struggled to find affordable, quality products to help with his son's sleep, anxiety and sensory challenges so he created his own brand instead. LakiKid is a product design company and also a community of families helping each other through patient support groups and live Facebook seminars.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS How did your story begin in Japan? My special needs journey started in 2013 when my oldest son was diagnosed with autism and ADHD while my wife and I were living in Japan. In Japan and most of the Asian countries, the support and therapy you can get for kids on the spectrum or with any type of mental disability is very limited. It has to do with the overall culture and how most communities sync where mental disability is a taboo topic. People don't like to talk about it, they tend to hide it and parents don't like to confront it. It happened to me personally because the first 6 months after the diagnosis, I was in total denial and refused to believe something was wrong with my son because no one else had similar issues in my family. I refused to believe it. I run into a lot of parents, especially dads, that are in this denial phase. We as men like to fix things, but when you have kids with autism or ADHD, you can't fix them. You can help them to become better versions of themselves and that's why we decided to move to the United States in 2015 so we could find better resources and opportunities for our son to be successful.  Did you feel isolated and feel a need to connect with others in your community? Definitely. I can talk to my relatives, but none of them understand what I'm going through mentally. If you don't have a kid with special needs, you don't know what it's like. My son was non-verbal until he turned 6. We were doing a lot of speech therapy and now we're on the opposite end of the spectrum and he's talking way too much and can't stop talking. I didn't realize that I have mental disability myself. I started doing a lot of research for my son and the more research I was doing, the more I started to realize that I have ADHD myself. I was living with it all this time and didn't know what it was and didn't know how to deal with it. Can you tell us about your podcast and videocast? Ask An Autism Mom is done live on Facebook once a week on Thursday at 4pm PT / 7pm ET. We started with a focus on autism, but the more we do, the more we realize how other families and children can benefit from the resources. While the core of the podcast is around autism, we also share information that can be beneficial for parents who have kids with ADHD, sensory processing or down syndrome. Our goal is to inform and empower families so they can help move their kids along in the journey. Sensory Fitness Live is led by an Occupational Therapist who owns a business called Sensory Fitness. He had in person classes for kids before Covid-19, so we've partnered with him to turn his in-person classes into an online format with activities such as sensory diet.  Can you tell us about your company LakiKid? I started the company in 2017 because I was trying to figure out how to help my son and other families facing the same situation as us. Most of our items are low cost, ranging from $10-$40. I talk to teachers, occupational therapists and also get feedback from other parents on what products we provide. One of the new products we launched last year was a product designed for a nonprofit organization called KultureCity. They have many programs and one of the biggest is called Sensory Inclusive Initiative, available in NBA stadiums, football and baseball arenas, zoos, aquariums and airports. They provide staff training so they are aware of the sensory challenges individuals face when they visit a venue. They also provide sensory bags, free for families to access and use, which includes noise cancelling headphones, fidget toys and a weighted blanket. We designed the weighted blanket for them to use in their program. Lastly, KultureCity helps arenas to build out a sensory room that is a quiet, safe space for families to go to as needed. We have partnered with them and worked alongside them for two years and I really love their mission.   Did you have issues around the school setting that you had to figure out for your son or which inspired any specific piece of your advocacy for making schools more inclusive? The school system here in the US is so different and each city and district has a different setup. Some have more resources and some have zero resources. We have a really good IEP team in the district we are in and my son's special education teacher is really engaged in what my son is doing in the classroom. Even in the current situation with COVID, they are using Google classrooms, meeting daily with sessions for writing, reading and social skills. Unfortunately, not all families and school districts have the resources to have such a comprehensive program. By talking to other parents, I see that gap in the educational system. The US is ahead of the curve compared to other countries, but there is still a lot of work ahead.  What advice do you have for parents in the beginning of their journey? Be open minded to a diagnosis and talk to other parents. Join our support group, which is free to join. If you talk to other parents, you will find support because other families are facing similar issues. Each child has individual needs, but we're all sharing a common struggle.  LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED NORD Living Rare, Living Stronger 2020 Registration https://rarediseases.org/living-rare-forum/ LakiKid https://lakikid.com/ Autism Parent Support Group https://lakikid.com/pages/autism-parent-support-group Sensory Fitness Live with Matt Sloan https://lakikid.com/pages/sensory-fitness-live Ask An Autism Mom https://lakikid.com/pages/ask-an-autism-mom LakiKid FREE Printable Social Story https://lakikid.com/pages/parents-survival-guide-to-coronavirus-covid-19#ebook KultureCity https://www.kulturecity.org/ Once Upon a Gene - Ep 019 - Neena Nizar and the Jansen's Foundation https://effieparks.com/podcast/008-tanjs-akayy-jr78y-ja2e8-zanza-njkxy-83esr-z2wkz-kx2a4-3zgjf TUNE INTO THE ONCE UPON A GENE PODCAST Spotify Apple Podcasts Stitcher Overcast CONNECT WITH EFFIE PARKS Website https://effieparks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/OnceUponAGene Instagram https://www.instagram.com/onceuponagene.podcast/?hl=en Built Ford Tough Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1877643259173346/

Joining Laura today on a very special episode is the man, the myth, the legend, Greg Louganis, currently the Sports Director for the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series. As you probably already know, Greg is a 4 time Olympian, and the only man to ever win consecutive double gold medals in diving at the Olympics. He is also, of course, the man who came back to win Olympic gold in dramatic fashion after hitting his head during a dive, and we do discuss that as well as many other topics during the show. In our discussion, Greg shares how elite athletes, including himself, handle cancelled or boycotted competitions, deal with distractions, and maintain motivation while processing criticism. We also explore the importance of the trust between a coach and athlete, dealing with feelings of failure, and the incredible story of Greg’s 1988 Olympics experience. We finish up by looking at his perception of challenges actually being opportunities, and I ask him how he would like to be remembered. Throughout this fascinating conversation we discover Greg’s lifelong focus upon learning to perform to the best of his ability rather than competing for awards – a valuable attitude for us all to emulate in both sports and life in general. Episode Highlights: How athletes are handling the cancellation of the Red Bull Cliff Diving Season How Greg dealt with the boycott of the 1980 Olympic Games Managing distractions while competing, maintaining motivation and processing criticism Building coach-athlete trust Dealing with feelings of failure The story of the 1988 Olympics Seeing challenges as opportunities Performing instead of competing How Greg would like to be remembered Quotes: “If you think of an elite athlete in many sports, it’s like a carton of milk…it has an expiration date.” “I always wanted my performance to speak for itself…I was out there to prove something.” “It’s human nature to root for the underdog, and for many, many years, I was not the underdog.” “I think the most important thing is to observe and listen.” “It was never my goal to win gold…my goal was to have the best performance that I could on that given time, and just be the absolute best that I could be…the results will take care of themselves.” “This pandemic is proof – we have such little control, ultimately.” “As long as I was in the pool in training, HIV didn’t exist, nor did my relationship…that was my safe space, my sanctuary.” “I always thought…a bad takeoff was a great opportunity.” “Emulate what you admire, but be your own person.” Links: The Pursuit of Gold homepage: http://thepursuitofgold.com/ Greg’s homepage: https://greglouganis.com/ Greg’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greglouganis/

Don’t miss this one, where you will learn a strategy you can practice, from the comfort of your home, to get unstuck and aligned, so you can be more balanced and empowered. Episode Highlights: *How we are hardwired for negativity. *Emotional intelligence tips. *Brain “patterns” that keep us stuck and how to get unstuck. *How to neutralize fears. *How to use “tapping” - EFT - “to get home acupuncture for your emotions, without needles.” *Anxiety and stress reducing tips.

She gives individuals and groups the tools to notice the things they keep doing which are not productive or emotionally healthy. Clients choose which behaviors to change first, and then Anne provides guidance to help them make it happen. Working with Anne, clients learn to notice in real time when they are headed down the rabbit hole of overwhelming emotions or ineffective communication. They master pausing, noticing what's happening and then choosing a different response - so they can get a different result. They discover the power of leading in ways that help everyone to feel seen, heard, and valued. This creates a deep sense of connection within the unit, which leads to easier compromise and cooperation. Anne’s experience includes 30+ years coaching teachers and parents, creating and teaching a positive discipline course for administrators, teachers and parents, and speaking at professional conferences on behavior management topics. She also is a certified expert life coach and former certified Conscious Discipline instructor. Client feedback routinely emphasizes that Anne blends understanding and acceptance with an organized program, plenty of encouragement, and useful strategies to help clients make a permanent shift. Having led families and teacher teams in significant, long-lasting change, Anne now offers coaching focused on stronger connection and less conflict. Clients can take the lead to create a new, lasting communication pattern, thus creating a work environment which is less stressful and more dynamic and productive.

Nate Yeskie has helped guide Oregon State to a national championship in 2018, was named Assistant Coach of the Year by D1 Baseball in 2017, was named 2x National Pitching Coach of the Year by Collegiate Baseball in 2013 and 2017. Nate shares a ton of useful pitching information and ways to prepare pitchers for game time. Episode Highlights: How has it been for Nate Yeskie to transition from Oregon State to the University of Arizona?What did Nate Yeskie implement in the fall that maybe was different before he arrived at the University of Arizona?Can video work at times get players, especially pitchers, to overthink?What would he say to one of his pitchers if he didn’t have any information on the hitters that they were facing? Does he ever talk to his players about their individual mental game plan when they are going into a game? Does he talk to his guys about pitchers tipping pitches? When and why did he implement using weighted balls? When he is recruiting pitches, what things must they have going for themselves? What drills help pitchers throw harder? Does he practice PFPs?Is there anything valuable about pitchers fielding the ball? Work with a growth mindset. Nate talks about how he communicates with players. Know when to push and pull with pitchers. When pitchers are struggling on the mound, what does he talk about during mound visits? Be authentic and who you are. The players know when you are fake. What if a pitcher needs to get their arm to align with their release? What does he think about pitch count and innings?Why has he turned down professional baseball jobs? 3 Key Points:Focus on training players with routines of things they can control. Batters are going to swing where they like the ball to be. Pitchers should pay attention to what they like to swing at. When you release a pitch, you become the 5th infielder, 6th if you consider the bunt game with the catcher coming into play. Tweetable Quotes:“We educate them each day, whether it is video, bullpens, anything that we’re doing to try to get them better. We have to educate them through that process in an effort to empower them.” – Nate Yeskie “When it comes to pitching, ‘feel’ is probably the most important thing.” – Nate Yeskie“I think a lot of times coaches can fall into a trap of repeating themselves, or coming up with their own terminology, and what you are now doing I think is force-feeding the athlete to look through your eyes.” – Nate Yeskie Resources Mentioned:● patrickjonesbaseball.com● Nate Yeskie’s Social Media: Twitter● Axe Bat: axebat.com Type in code PJB25 for a 25% off discount See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
