Darren speaks with Rachel Kolisi about what drives her to lead change in South Africa. Kolisi says there wasn't a single defining moment, but a repeated exposure to desperation, need, and leadership gaps in both her business, Falling Forward, and her philanthropy work, where she felt advocacy and conversation weren't enough. She explains that with a growing platform comes a responsibility to do something impactful that changes others' lives too. Webpage

Carol Ofori speaks with Rachel Kolisi about her Falling Forward national tour, documentary, and book focused on identity loss, healing, and rediscovery. Three cities in, the tour arrives in Durban with strong ticket sales, and Rachel describes the event experience: an hour-long foyer market featuring women-owned businesses, drinks and snacks, brand spoils, a performance by Anika Kiana, a choir, the documentary screening, and an on-stage conversation with Nondumiso Denga. Rachel explains her intention to create a safe, honest space for women to share pain and challenges that society often struggles to accept, drawing on stories from attendees facing divorce, grief, and major life transitions. She shares that faith and a trusted support system keep her grounded, that her vulnerability is a legacy for her children, and that her key lesson is resilience as a “super power” and the power to choose what comes next.

For years, Rachel Kolisi stood at the centre of one of South Africa’s most powerful sporting stories. As the wife of Siya Kolisi, the captain who led the South Africa national rugby union team to global glory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup and again at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, she became what many called the “First Lady of South African rugby.” But Rachel Kolisi was never just standing on the sidelines. Through charity work, public advocacy and the work of the Kolisi Foundation, she became a voice in her own right, visible, outspoken and deeply involved in the social impact work surrounding the Springbok story. Then, last year, the story that had captured the imagination of a nation shifted. The end of one of the most high-profile relationships in South African sport sent shockwaves through fans who had followed their journey for years. Now, Rachel Kolisi is telling her side of the story. In her memoir, Falling Forward, she opens up about life inside that global spotlight, the pressure, the expectations, the personal cost of living a life watched by millions, and the strength it takes to rebuild when everything changes. This isn’t just the story of a rugby family the world admired. It’s the story of a woman stepping forward, on her own terms, after the world thought it already knew the ending.

In this 2026 edition of Experiencing Healthcare, we open the year with a deceptively simple leadership question: who's the hardest person to lead? The answer isn't a teammate—it's yourself. Through humor, real-world CEO moments, and hard-earned reflection, Matt unpacks why self-leadership is often overlooked, how boundaries are actually discipline in disguise, and why emotional regulation is the foundation for every decision you make—especially in a “heavy” industry like healthcare. The takeaway: if you want to lead others well this year, start by leading you with intention.

In this episode we continue our conversation with Karl Amundson and Emily Fink about their new musical: Falling Forward. Falling Forward is about Meghan, a queer 27-year-old sculpture artist who is leaving New York City, moving in with her mom in Michigan and giving up on her artistic aspirations. However, packing her apartment proves to be a noisy affair, as all of Meghan's belongings-- including a Bong, a Self-Help Book, a Vibrator, a Family Portrait, a smart-device, and more—come to life, forcing Meghan to reckon with her own role in her terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad year. Equal parts memory play, fever-dream, generational satire, and coming-of-age story, Falling Forward follows Meghan as she teeters on the brink of change, searching for certainty in her uncertain world.  This episode features the songs “When It Falls” performed by Emily Kristen Morris and “Midwestern Life” performed by PJ Adzima.

After a long break, I'm back—because I finally got tired of buying my own excuses. This episode isn't about proving anything to anyone; it's about me showing up for me. Hitting 30 lit a fire in me—a fresh enthusiasm for life and a deeper awareness that time isn't waiting around. If you've been stuck at "Point A" like I was, you'll feel this one. I'm done letting fear or comfort hold me back from the dreams and goals I keep saying I want. I'd rather fall moving forward than stay stuck standing still. Join me as I step into this new chapter—one filled with purpose, bold moves, and a refusal to settle.

Andy Campbell's story will stop you in your tracks.After surviving childhood sexual abuse, losing his mother to cancer, battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer (which he has now survived for nearly seven years against all odds), and enduring the devastating loss of his son to suicide, Andy has earned the right to speak about resilience in a way few others can.The most profound moment in our conversation comes when Andy describes his cancer diagnosis. Having watched his mother and three aunts die from cancer, he had spent years preparing for what he thought would be inevitable, only to be blindsided by pancreatic cancer instead. In that moment of complete helplessness, Andy discovered something unexpected: freedom. "The recognition that I had no control over it was probably the most freeing moment in my life," he shares.What sets this conversation apart is Andy's practical approach to resilience. He describes developing "core beliefs" that function like a computer's BIOS - fundamental operating instructions that kick in when all else fails. These beliefs, which he's compiled in his book "Overcoming Life's Toughest Setbacks," serve as a default network during times when clear thinking is impossible.Perhaps most moving is Andy's reason for sharing his story. Not to showcase his strength, but to reach someone who might be contemplating giving up. "I have been broken, I have been beaten, I have been down on my knees. Honest to God, some days I don't know how I'm still here, but if I can do it, you can do it."Visit askandycampbell.com to learn more about Andy's journey and his approach to transforming life's greatest challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bereaved-but-still-me--2108929/support.

He's the co-owner of Legends 24/7 Gym in Webster and runs his own coaching business, The Crew (formerly Sheridan Strength Crew), helping lifters push their limits together.   A former sprinter and track captain at Webster Thomas High School, Kyle's love for lifting began after high school when he traded the stage as a guitarist in his rock band Falling Forward for the platform. Starting with natural bodybuilding, he quickly shifted to powerlifting in 2013, where he connected with icons like Rheta West, Bob Merkh, Paul O'Neid, and the late Paul Childress. With their guidance, he smashed his goals—deadlifting 800 and totaling 2,000 pounds at 242 in wraps by 2017.   In 2023, under Paul Childress' coaching, Kyle tackled multiply lifting, squatting 900 and totaling 2,150 at 242—just 14 weeks after stepping back into competition. Now, he's chasing a 1,000-pound squat in Paul's honor. In 2022, when Kyle and his business partner Dave Heisinger suddenly lost their first gym space, they opened Legends in just 3.5 weeks—proving their dedication to keeping a community alive. The gym quickly outgrew its first spot, moving to a larger location in May 2024. Legends is now home to local USPA meets and a hub for lifters of all levels in the Rochester area.   When he's not coaching or growing Legends, Kyle works full time as a security supervisor at Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. His mission is to bridge the gap between raw and multiply lifting, build Rochester's strength community, and show lifters that anything is possible when you commit.   Kyle's IG: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanstrength/   THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS  Get 10% OFF Your Next Marek Health Labs (CODE: TABLETALK): https://marekhealth.com/ Get a free 8-count Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase: https://partners.drinklmnt.com/free-gift-with-purchase?utm_campaign=agwp&am…   Save Up to 20% at Sleepme (CODE: TABLE TALK): https://sleep.me/tabletalk Get 10% OFF RP Hypertrophy App (CODE: TABLE TALK) :https://go.rpstrength.com/hypertrophy-app/  Get 10% OFF at elitefts (CODE: TABLE TALK): https://www.elitefts.com/  Get 10% OFF at Granite Nutrition (CODE TABLETALK): https://granitenutrition.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=Dave_Tate Save $250 at the Business of Strength Retreat 2025 (CODE: Elite250): https://bosretreat.com/ Support Massenomics! https://www.massenomics.com/     SUPPORT THE SHOW    All profits from elitefts Limited Edition Apparel, Table Talk Coffee, and Team elitefts Workouts, Programs, and Training eBooks support Dave Tate's Table Talk Podcast.    elitefts Shop: https://www.elitefts.com/  elitefts IG: https://www.instagram.com/elitefts/    elitefts  Limited Edition Apparel: https://www.elitefts.com/shop/apparel/limited-edition.html

Thom Francis introduces us to poet, editor, and educator Rebecca Schumejda. In their conversation they discuss writing about the people she met at the pool hall she once owned, her online zine “Trailer Park Quarterly,” and keeping poetry accessible. The latest edition of “Trailer Park Quarterly” will be available online at https://trailerparkquarterly.com later this month. —— Rebecca Schumejda has worked hard over her time as a writer and editor to make poetry accessible to everyone, not just those in academia. She herself graduated with a BA in English and Creative Writing from SUNY New Paltz and a MA in Poetics and Creative Writing from San Francisco State University. Rebecca is the author of the following full-length books: “Falling Forward” (sunnyoutside press), “Cadillac Men” (NYQ Books), “Waiting at the Dead End Diner” (Bottom Dog Press), “Our One-Way Street “(NYQ Books) and the following chapbooks: “The Tear Duct of the Storm” (Green Bean Press) “Dream Big, Work Harder”(sunnyoutside press), “The Map of Our Garden” (verve bath press), “From Seed to Sin” (Bottle of Smoke Press) and is the co-author of “Common Wages” with Don Winter (Working Stiff Press). In her writing, she often tells the stories of the working class. She once took a job as a waitress for her book, “Waiting at the Dead End Diner”(Bottom Dog Press), and got inspiration from the people who walked in the door and sat at her tables. In her book, “Cadillac Men,” Rebecca writes about the regulars who frequented the pool hall she and her late-husband opened in Kingston, NY. She read about one of those characters, Mikey Meatballs, at the Albany Poets Presents event Restaurant Navona in Albany on October 19, 2016.

In your journey to transformation you will be tempted again. And most followers of Jesus will slip again. It's tempting to fall into a shame spiral. You may think, "I've got to try harder and be more self-disciplined." Or, "It's no use. I'm too far gone. I might as well give up." You find yourself hiding from yourself, others, and from God. In this episode Dr. Carol unpacks how to deal with slips and relapses in your transformation journey. She outlines practical steps to building your escape plan for when you're tempted, and also how to set yourself up for success with lifestyle patterns that lessen your vulnerability to being tempted in the first place. Check out these articles from Dr. Carol: - From Temptation to Triumph: Designing Your Personal Escape Plan - How to Find "Your People" When You Need Help Check out our Sexpectations online course.

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Julie Mountain and Dana Noorily, cofounders of The Granola Bar, a breakfast-and-lunch, modern diner concept with eight locations across Connecticut and New York. These long-time friends initially started a granola business out of one of their kitchens in 2010, and in 2013 opened their first restaurant essentially just to give them a commercial kitchen to manufacture granola. But customers in their Westport, Conn., hometown had different plans, making that restaurant so popular that Julie and Dana abandoned the granola business and became full-time restaurateurs. They joined the podcast to share the lessons they've learned on their entrepreneurial journey and how they've fallen forward into a business that has financial partners and a new CEO who are helping to steer its slow-but-steady growth. In this conversation, you'll find out why:The business you start is not always the business you will grow Meet the hole in the market you're serving, not what's trending nationallyIf you don't lean on social media early on, then it's just icing on the cake as you growWith strategic hires, you can know what you don't knowSometimes real estate can dictate your entrepreneurial drive It's OK if your end goal is to stay small and keep it all Have feedback or ideas for Take-Away?

Summary: In this episode of Inside the Plan, Bill and Andy Bush (the 401(k) Brothers) share insights from a recent advisor conference in New Orleans, focusing on the challenges that different generations face in saving for retirement. They dive into the financial obligations affecting Millennials, Gen Xers, and Baby Boomers and discuss the importance of establishing emergency savings. The conversation also explores how early savings can significantly impact long-term retirement wealth. Additionally, the brothers emphasize the essential role of financial advisors and coaches in providing organization, accountability, and proactive support in financial planning. Chapters and Key Takeaways: 00:10 — Introduction and Conference Insights The episode opens with Bill and Andy reflecting on insights gained at a recent conference with financial advisors in New Orleans. The brothers set the stage by discussing the importance of helping people navigate their retirement savings challenges. 03:00 — Financial Obligations and Retirement Savings Millennials face the highest financial obligations (89% struggle with competing priorities). Emergency savings are a crucial barrier for all generations, with 25% of Baby Boomers still facing this issue. Gen Xers and Baby Boomers see lower percentages but still encounter challenges with emergency savings and other financial obligations. 05:56 — The Importance of Early Savings Early savings significantly impact retirement wealth. The earlier you start saving, the more those dollars multiply over your career. The brothers stress that even when dollars are stretched, making the most of employer 401(k) matches can create long-term financial benefits. 09:15 — Seeking Guidance and Financial Coaching Guidance from financial advisors is essential, especially for complex decisions involving retirement planning. Financial coaching helps with accountability and organization, ensuring that clients stay on track with their goals. Millennials and Gen Zers are more inclined to seek information online, but older generations still prefer face-to-face or personalized financial advice. 12:01 — The Role of Financial Advisors Many clients do not fully implement their financial plans—only 20% of recommendations are executed. A financial plan requires action to be effective. Bill and Andy explain that while creating a plan is valuable, consistent action and follow-up are key to success. 15:23 — Core Values of Financial Planning Objectivity from a financial advisor provides clarity, helping clients make sound decisions without the emotional bias that can come from handling finances alone. Partnership with a financial planner alleviates worries, providing clients with support and a trusted resource to guide them through financial decisions. Financial advisors offer six core values: organization, objectivity, proactivity, education, accountability, and partnership, all of which contribute to long-term financial success. 19:09 — Conclusion and Contact Information Bill and Andy wrap up the episode by encouraging listeners to reach out for personalized advice and assistance. They stress the importance of communication and building a strong partnership with a financial advisor. Sound Bites: "Emergency savings is a barrier for 25% of Baby Boomers." "89% of Millennials face financial obligations hindering savings." "Early dollars saved multiply over your working career."   Call to Action: If you're interested in organizing your finances or need help creating a retirement plan, reach out to Bill or Andy Bush at Horizon Financial Group: Bill Bush: bbush@horizonfg.com Andy Bush: abush@horizonfg.com Or visit horizonfg.com and use the contact button to get started.

“A lot of what I end up teaching with regards to all of music, but certainly improvisation, has to do with becoming comfortable. You can do all kinds of different technical exercises, improvisation exercises, conceptual brain project exercises, all of which serve to help the musician become comfortable and fluid with their musical expression so that they feel free enough to act on a musical impulse or a musical gesture, to respond freely to the moment.”The first year of the pandemic was a deeply creative time for Vermont based fiddle composer and song-writer Lissa Schneckenburger. When everything shut down (including her touring schedule), writing music became an essential outlet. Schneckenburger explains, “I had to write music to process my experience of living through such a difficult time. It was my life line”. The result was what Schneckenburger jokingly calls “overflowing bucketfuls of music” and enough new material for several album releases. The first album, Falling Forward, is a collection of Schneckenburger's original fiddle tunes and two traditional New England songs, released in March 2023.Lissa hired a star powered all female cast of musicians to record her compositions, and Falling Forward was recorded in December of 2022. The ensemble included fiddling producer Katie McNally, pianist Rachel Aucoin, bass player Mali Obomsawin, cellist Natalie Haas, and accordion player Karen Tweed. “These women are my heroes,” Schneckenburger says, “they are leaders in the acoustic music world, and it was such an honor to record with them.” The tunes range from lively to somber and introspective. Many reflect the tone of a riotous fiddle party with floorboards thumping, bow hair flying, and instruments and dancers in every corner. Falling Forward provides music for both meditation and release. Both of which feel appropriate in processing our collective experience as a society over the last few years.During the past few decades, Schneckenburger has made music showcasing everything from traditional dance tunes, to original songs. The latter inspired by her experience as a foster and adoptive parent. Falling Forward has blended her love of traditional music with her love of writing, in her first fiddle forward album release in over a decade.To get in touch with Lissa, you can find visit her website, https://lissafiddle.com/, or find her on Instagram (@lissafiddle), Facebook (@lissafiddle), or Tiktok (@lissafiddle).Choir Fam wants to hear from you!

Joining the podcast this week is the force behind some of IHG's most dynamic brands. She's a hospitality veteran who works to create seamless end-to-end guest experiences. Meet Karen Gilbride, Vice President of Avid Hotels, Atwell Suites, and Garner Hotels at IHG. Karen joins Host Dan Ryan to explore IHG's newest brand Garner, and the design philosophy behind it. Additionally, Karen shares the power that mentorship programs can have, the nuances of designing for staff and employees, and how to build a brand. Takeaways: Hospitality is the feeling you get when you visit someone's house and feel welcomed and cared for. Everyday the hospitality industry works to make you feel like you're visiting a close friend when you stop by a hotel.While new construction suits a lot of owners, there is a need to provide owners with a conversion pathway as well. By taking existing properties, owners can update old buildings and save on costWhen designing a hotel room, starting with foam core helps you get an initial feel for the size and shape of the room. Once you have that established, consider where the furniture goes, and how the guests will flow through the room. When building a brand you have two customers to think about. First is the guest who may check in on a given night, the second is the owner. If you can't get an owner to invest in the brand, there won't be a hotel for a guest to check in to. When picking furniture for a hotel, it's important to not only consider the guest, but the hotel staff who have to interact with it as well. If a side table looks nice, but is too heavy to move, it quickly becomes an obstacle to clean around. Any guest experience is about attention to details and understanding what your standards are. If you're only going to do 5 main things, understand what they are, and execute them to perfection.Having a strong foundation of people is crucial for any business, but doubly so in hospitality. Through mentoring programs, new and rising talent can be recognized, and given the resources they need to flourish. Quote of the Show:“I realized that it really is about high attention to detail and standards, being clear about what the standards are, training people against it, and then executing.” - Karen GilbrideLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-gilbride-379b976/ Website: https://www.ihg.com/garner-hotels/hotels/us/en/reservation Website: https://www.ihg.com/hotels/us/en/reservation Shout Outs:6:37 - Intercontinental Park Lane London: https://parklane.intercontinental.com/ 7:20 - Scott Norwood7:28 - New York Giants: https://www.giants.com/ 9:58 - Candlewood Suites: https://www.ihg.com/candlewood/hotels/us/en/reservation 16:48 - Kimpton Hotels: https://www.kimptonhotels.com/31:59 - Cornell: https://www.cornell.edu/ 36:22 - Crowne Plaza: https://www.ihg.com/crowneplaza/hotels/us/en/reservation 37:22 - Fordham University: https://www.fordham.edu/ 57:00 - Holiday Inn: https://www.holidayinn.com/ 1:01:00 - Statler Hotel: https://statlerhotel.cornell.edu/ Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1sAmazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419
