What if the decline in childhood mental health, self-regulation, and academic engagement could be traced back to a missing piece of the school day? In this powerful and passionate episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with the founding team of Say Yes to Recess, a grassroots movement turned national nonprofit fighting for more play, more time outside, and more humanity in our schools. With just 22 minutes of average daily recess—and many kids getting even less—this conversation peels back the layers of how educational priorities have shifted dangerously away from the needs of the whole child. The team shares how they went from frustrated parents to successful policy changemakers and how you can start a chapter in your own state. This is the rallying cry. Recess is not a break from learning—it is learning. Movement builds brains. Free play teaches the life skills that Fortune 500 CEOs are begging for. And the best part? Kids want to do it. Say Yes to Recess is leading the charge, and this episode shows you why the time to act is now. Visit sayyestorecess.com to learn more, donate, or launch a chapter in your state.

In this episode… In a world where the health of our food, planet, and bodies matters more than ever, few pause to consider the hidden life beneath our feet. What if the key to better farming, sustainability, and nutrition lies in understanding the tiny microbes in the soil? Adrian Ferrero started with vineyards and built the world's largest soil microbiome database. His team's technology goes beyond identifying microbes — it reveals how they influence plant health and crop resilience. By partnering with farmers, manufacturers, and brands, Biome Makers improves yields, quality, and sustainability worldwide. Their evolution from basic reports to detailed, map-based recommendations shows how innovation and collaboration are transforming agriculture.

n this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Mohib Yousufani, a senior partner at PwC who leads growth, turnaround, and digital transformation initiatives for Fortune 500 companies. Mohib brings a sharp focus on value creation, helping business leaders move beyond technology hype to deliver measurable outcomes through thoughtful digital strategies. Our conversation begins with a hard truth: many companies are confusing technology adoption with business outcomes. Mohib shares how organizations often rush to embrace the latest AI trends or automation tools without first identifying the core problems they need to solve. That misalignment, he explains, is why many digital transformation efforts stall or fail to scale beyond pilot mode. Mohib breaks down PwC's approach to digital transformation, which begins by translating enterprise ambition into actionable plans. We explore how aligning business unit goals, operating models, and leadership behavior is critical to successful implementation. He also offers a candid view of why so many projects suffer from process debt and legacy friction, often ignoring the people and culture dynamics that are central to lasting change. One of the most powerful parts of our discussion centers on how to evaluate ROI. Instead of focusing solely on cost savings, Mohib suggests expanding the lens to include revenue growth, time to market, risk mitigation, and strategic agility. He shares a compelling success story involving a CPG company that used AI and data science to optimize trade promotions and pricing, resulting in a three percent revenue lift and two percent margin expansion. We also talk about leadership's role in setting the tone. Culture, Mohib emphasizes, acts as a multiplier. Without executive alignment and clear behavioral modeling, even the most sophisticated tools won't deliver the promised value. If your organization is rethinking digital strategy, this episode is packed with insights to help you move from experimentation to real business impact. Are you building digital solutions that scale beyond buzzwords?

Dr. Haley Perlus is a renowned mental performance coach, author, and speaker who has made her mark as both an alpine ski prodigy and a “Performance Whisperer” for Fortune 500 leaders, Olympians, and everyday high achievers. With a PhD in Sport and Exercise Psychology, she draws from her own athletic journey and her deep belief in human potential to help individuals master their mental game, transform pressure into power, and achieve their personal gold standards. Dr. Haley is the author of Personal Podium,creator of the #MentalToughnessMoments series, and a passionate advocate for self-belief, personal growth, and mental wellness. Takeaways: Mental toughness is a skill, not a trait—it can be developed by focusing on motivation, confidence, focus, and anxiety control, making it accessible to anyone willing to put in the work. Preparation trumps natural talent or pressure—the best performers build on their strengths and prepare thoroughly, enabling them to confidently “want the ball” during high-stakes moments. Grace isn't an excuse for inaction—you should give yourself compassion on tough days, but never let yourself off the hook completely. Doing something, even if it's not your best, is always better than doing nothing.  Sound Bites: “I do believe people can grow. I do believe people can change. I do believe we have more control than we give ourselves credit for.” “Goals are great for vision, but standards are what you control and uphold daily—they become your benchmark for mental toughness.” “Winners want the ball because they're willing to risk, to grow, to challenge themselves, and to see what they're truly made of.” Quote by Mick: “You don't rise to the occasion, you rise to your level of preparation.

You know what Flirties, I have a question for you. Have you ever met someone and just knew they were the one? Maybe it was instant chemistry, maybe it was a slow burn, or maybe it was heartbreak that cracked you open in a way nothing else ever had? Well today, we're diving into the soul-level stuff—those invisible forces that draw us to each other, shape our relationships, and sometimes, break us apart. Joining us for this episode of Flirtations is the luminous Danny Santos, a spiritual guide, psychic medium, and the intuitive heart behind @santoscrystalvisions on Instagram, to have a conversation with us about soulmates, twin flames, karmic connections, and timing in dating. What does it mean when we feel an undeniable connection with someone? How do we know if it's love… or a lesson? Is timing really everything?  And what if—maybe the hardest question of all—what if I feel like we already met our soulmate and it didn't work out? What if the love of my life has already come and gone… will I find love again? Flirty, of course it will. We're hopeful romantics here on Flirtations! We'll also talk about dating karma, the invisible string theory, and why some connections feel written in the stars—even if they never find a forever. We'll untangle how to recognize when you're stuck in a cycle and how to clear your energy so you can call in the kind of love that truly aligns. This one is soulful, expansive, and a little bit witchy—in the best way. Whether you're in the middle of something cosmic, letting go of something karmic, or waiting for the universe to catch up… this conversation is for you. So take a deep breath, Flirties, and settle in—because we're gonna get very real about spiritual connection and the sometimes messy, but always magical road to love.

Episode SummaryIn this powerful, emotionally resonant episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra sits down with one of the world's most respected thought leaders on human-centered performance: Ryan Estis.Ryan isn't just a keynote speaker or former Fortune 500 Chief Revenue Officer. He's a guide for leaders navigating complexity, a man who's lived the tension between growth and burnout, performance and peace, ambition and alignment. Through stories both deeply personal and professionally profound, Ryan takes us behind the curtain of a life built on momentum through harmony—and how choosing wellness, wisdom, and worth have shaped his impact. From founding ImpactEleven (which achieved a 500% growth rate, 1300% increase in shareholder value, and 90% client retention in just two years), to standing ovations across global stages, Ryan's track record is undeniable. But what makes this episode different is what's unsaid—the inner work of reclaiming health, reconnecting to truth, and redefining success not by how far we go, but by how deeply we live. Together, Chris and Ryan explore: the meaning of legacy and how wisdom passed down from a father becomes a compass,the role of weak ties and long-held partnerships like Lynn in a world obsessed with speed,the power of surrender and how BDSM culture taught Chris to drop into presence and care,and the hard-earned truth that we must unlearn external validation to live our truth.This episode is part mentorship session, part love letter to resilience, and part rallying cry for those who feel like they're achieving outwardly, yet quietly burning out inside.10 Memorable Quotes“Success without fulfillment and feeling good is failure.” – Ryan Estis“You have to borrow someone else's belief in you until your own catches up.” –Ryan Estis“Don't wreck the product. You're the product.” – Ryan Estis“Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical.” – Words of Wisdom from Ryan's father“To connect in service, you must first live from your center.” – Ryan Estis“Gratitude isn't just for the good times. It's best practiced through the hard times.”– Chris Schembra“The world will define you—if you let it.” – Ryan Estis“Every person has the wisdom they need. It was put there for them.” – Ryan Estis“Live your truth. It's the kindest thing you can do for yourself—and for others.” – Ryan Estis“You're not the first person with a message on their heart who's blown the moment.” – Adam “Smiley” Poswolsky, as quoted by Chris10 Key Takeaways1. The Journey Isn't Linear—But It's Worth It.Chris's lowest speaking moment led him directly to Ryan, proof that our darkest hours often plant the seeds of the brightest chapters.2. Don't Just Grow Fast. Grow From Your Center.Ryan's success wasn't a straight hustle; it required slowing down, getting healthy, and aligning with values like momentum through harmony.3. Your Legacy May Live in a Wooden Box.A literal box of quotes from Ryan's dad revealed the timeless wisdom that now shapes how he leads, speaks, and lives. These quotes became mantras.4. The Quiet People Beside You Are Often the Most Powerful.Ryan's long-standing partnership with Lynn, his business manager since his first job out of college, is a testament to loyalty, presence, and consistency.5. Define Success On Your Terms—Then Redefine It Again.Whether it's writing a book with his brother or shifting his health trajectory, Ryan models how to evolve your definition of winning.6. Unlearning Is Just As Important As Learning.Ryan had to unlearn the compulsion to respond to every piece of feedback and external pressure. His current work is about choosing inner authority.7. Your Best Work Comes From Alignment.From Ryan's gesture of heart → head → hands, we learn that when your beliefs, mindset, and actions align, magic happens.8. Weak Ties Are Stronger Than You Think.Inspired by Granovetter's 1973 study, the episode celebrates the strength of those people we see occasionally but who shape us profoundly.9. There's Power in Personal Rituals.Whether it's opening the wisdom box or walking back through difficult memories, grounding rituals help us stay human in a fast-paced world.10. Human Be-ing > Human Doing.Ryan and Chris both remind us: Your presence is your power. Stop outsourcing your identity. Show up fully. Live from your center. Links & ResourcesPrepare for Impact by Ryan EstisLearn More About ImpactElevenBarbara Fredrickson's Broaden-and-Build Theory of Positive EmotionMark Granovetter's Study: The Strength of Weak TiesMore on Functional Medicine

Never Give Up on Your Dream... How Baseball and More can Teach us Lessons That Can Encourage Us to Keep Pursuing our Dreams in both Life and Business. What if the path to your biggest dreams wasn't found in swinging for the fences, but in mastering the little things? On the next episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we welcome Joel Goldberg, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, television host, and veteran reporter who travels with the Kansas City Royals. Known for his front-row seat to Major League Baseball's highs and lows, Joel has spent decades learning not just about the game — but about the people who play it, and the everyday habits that create lasting success. Joel's latest book, Small Ball Big Dreams, takes readers inside the clubhouse and behind the curtain, sharing stories from professional athletes, business leaders, and high performers who've built elite cultures by focusing on what he calls “the small ball” — the consistent, intentional, behind-the-scenes efforts that don't always make the highlight reel, but win championships on and off the field. In this episode, we'll explore how values like trust, preparation, resilience, and human connection can radically transform organizations, teams, and lives. As Joel shares, greatness isn't built on grand gestures — it's found in the morning routines, the hard conversations, the extra reps, and the way leaders show up every single day. From World Series-winning clubhouses to Fortune 500 boardrooms, Small Ball Big Dreams reminds us that culture isn't something you declare — it's something you live, one small action at a time. ⚾ Join us  for a conversation that blends baseball wisdom, leadership insight, and practical takeaways for anyone chasing big dreams. Whether you're a fan of the game or just ready for a new direction in your life, this is one episode you won't want to miss! Joel Goldberg's book, "Small Ball Big Dreams", is an absolute gem.  Because of his career as an announcer and all his radio and TV travels, Joel interviews many of the stars that you know, and many that you don't know. But in every interview there are valuable lessons for staying with your dream, becoming a better leader, and living a better life. The book really emphasizes that your life is not a straight path.  It will have obstacles, challenges, and at time discouragement.  In fact, what you initial thought you were set out to do, may in fact change and that change with the right attitude, effort, and resiliency will prove to be more fulfilling and serve a great purpose than what you could have ever imagined. When I finished reading the book, I was challenged, but more so, I was inspired!  What will be the next challenge that will push me to my new direction?  What do I need to let go of, that I will become the person with a life that impacts others.  Perhaps former Major League umpire Te Bennett summed it up best, "You have got to look at yourself in the mirror, and ask, 'what can I do better?'."

Hello: Autumn, 1949. Fortune editor Bill Furth, flinty-eyed gatekeeper, scans a manuscript from 30-year-old whiz kid Daniel Bell. Spots the word “charisma.” Snorts. Blue pencil meets page. Word dies swiftly, without much appeal. Fast forward ten years: charisma is everywhere. Eggheads bandy it, pundits quote it, preachers peddle it. Bell—vindicated. Since the 1950s, Americans have grown used to the word “charisma” being applied to everyone, often as a synonym for “charm”.. But what if charisma is more than charm or personal magnetism—what if it's a key to understanding the moral and spiritual crises of American life itself? That's the argument of Spellbound: How Charisma Shaped American History from the Puritans to Donald Trump, a sweeping new book by my guest historian Molly Worthen. In it, she traces the tangled story of charisma across four centuries of American history—from the Puritans through Andrew Jackson, to Malcolm X and Donald Trump.Charismatic leaders, Worthen argues, don't simply stir emotions or win votes. They offer something deeper: a sense of cosmic meaning, spiritual clarity, and moral urgency in moments when traditional institutions seem hollow or adrift. In times of upheaval, we look for figures who promise to reveal hidden truths and restore a broken order. Molly Worthen is a scholar of American religious and intellectual history. She is Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and writes regularly on religion and politics for the New York Times and other national outlets. Spellbound is her third book; she has previously authored Apostles of Reason: The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism and The Man on Whom Nothing Was Lost, a biography of the diplomat, Yale professor, and  Bridgeton, NJ native Charles Hill. (That last for my five listeners in South Jersey.)

A real-life maritime mystery meets true crime tragedy in this jaw-dropping case that rocked the Northeast. In 2016, Nathan Carman was rescued from a life raft after a supposed boating accident that left his mother, Linda, missing at sea. But behind the headlines of survival was a far more sinister story—a wealthy family, a cold case grandfather's murder, suspicious inheritance battles, and a twisted trail of lies. From the unsolved 2013 shooting death of Nathan's grandfather, real estate mogul John Chakalos, to the eerie circumstances surrounding the fishing trip that ended in Linda's disappearance, this case left investigators—and the public—wondering: Was Nathan Carman the unluckiest man alive… or a calculating killer? We'll dive deep into the family dynamics, forensic evidence, and courtroom drama—including the insurance fraud, the Slayer Rule petition, and Nathan's shocking death behind bars before trial.

What if the most powerful technology you'll ever discover… is already within you?   In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Gregg Braden to explore how science is finally catching up to what ancient wisdom traditions have known for centuries: that we're far more powerful, intelligent, and adaptable than we've been led to believe.   Gregg shares how breakthroughs in epigenetics, neurobiology, and quantum physics are reshaping our understanding of healing, intuition, and human potential. We explore how your beliefs affect your biology, how heart-brain coherence can unlock elevated states of awareness, and why this moment in history is calling us to awaken to our innate power. If you've ever felt like there's more to you than what you've been taught, this conversation will give you both the science and the spiritual insight to trust that instinct—and step more fully into what's possible.   === Have you watched our previous episode with Gregg Braden?

From 1979 to 1991, Gregg worked as a problem solver during times of crisis for Fortune 500 companies, including Martin Marietta (now Lockheed Martin) where he worked as a Senior Computer Systems Designer, and Cisco Systems, where he became the first Technical Operations Manager in 1991. He continues problem-solving today, and his research resulted in the 2003 discovery of intelligent information coded into the human genome and the 2010 application of fractal time to predict future occurrences of past events. Gregg's work has led to 18 film credits, 13 award-winning books now published in over 40 languages, and he was a 2020 nominee for the prestigious Templeton Prize established by Sir John Templeton to honor “outstanding individuals who have devoted their talents to expanding our vision of human purpose and ultimate reality.” He has presented his discoveries in 34 countries on six continents, and has been invited to speak to The United Nations, Fortune 500 companies and the U.

David is the founder and chairman of Aptive Environmental providing pest solutions to thousands of cities in 34 states. David's companies have been highlighted in national publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Entrepreneur, and Inc. Magazine.

David also dives into why “unsexy” jobs are underrated, how he nearly bankrupted his business before scaling it nationally, and the ways Tony Hsieh of Zappos influenced his approach to company culture. He opens up about his biggest career mistake, the importance of mastering sales as a lifelong skill, how to manage newfound wealth, what he looks for (and avoids) when hiring, and what's next on his entrepreneurial journey.

Sabina Nawaz: You're the Boss Sabina Nawaz is an executive coach who advises C-level executives and teams at Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, and academic institutions. During her 14-year tenure at Microsoft, she went from managing software development teams to leading the company's executive development and succession planning efforts for over 11,000 managers and nearly a thousand executives, advising Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer directly. She's the author of You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need)*. Every leader I know intends to be authentic. Unfortunately, we sometimes use authenticity as an excuse not to do the critical work of calibrating our actions. In this conversation, Sabina and I discuss how to avoid that trap so we can show up more genuinely for others. Key Points “Yeah, but…” signals justification and holds us back from what we most need to learn. Your success comes despite unhelpful traits, not because of them. Pure authenticity is a complete fallacy. Authenticity is not singular. We sometimes use authenticity as an excuse not to do the important work of calibrating our actions. Don't let the smokescreen of past “authenticity” get in the way of growth. Authenticity is not static. Reading your old past social media posts will remind you of this. When shifting, start with small experiments to nudge you in a new direction. Language that may be warning signs of the authenticity trap: “That's just how I am.” “I'm not the kind of person who…” “I'm not being true to myself if…” “That's the way I've always done things, and it's worked for me.” Resources Mentioned You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need)* by Sabina Nawaz Interview Notes Download my interview notes in PDF format (free membership required).
