Throughout her career, she has held many roles in diverse departments including compliance, operations, underwriting, and technology, and these experiences have given her a unique vantage point when it comes to strategy, decision-making, and data delivery. If asked, she'd tell you that she has made a career out of always being curious and being willing to be the first one to try to figure something out. Erika is a past President of the Oklahoma Mortgage Bankers Association and Board Chair for the Health and Wellness Center, Oklahoma's largest rural FQHC. She holds an MBA from Oklahoma State University and is an active member of several other communities and faith-based organizations. She was named a NEXT Powerhouse Award Winner for 2021. She lives in Oklahoma with her husband, an accomplished police lieutenant, and her son, a bright and active fourth grader.In this episode, Steve and Erika discuss:What makes a good leader? Having a learner's attitude Fostering curiosity How stress affects intentionalityKey Takeaways: A good leader is one who shows confidence in their team, and is never about themselves but always about other people. Learning to be more curious starts with deciding that you want to be more curious. Having a learner's attitude will bring you not only a lot of knowledge and experience but also a lot of opportunities. Start small, and don't be afraid. Pursue the “why” and give your intention to it. Help others be curious, seek out people who want to know more about the things that you already know very well. Intention takes energy and so does stress. Therefore, stress and anxiety in life have the potential to rob from the intentionality in what you do. “You can never stop learning. Continuing to learn and be curious - that's what gave me those opportunities. And I want those opportunities to keep coming.” - Erika MartensConnect with Erika Martens:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FirstTrustHomeLoansInc Website: www.firsttrusthomeloans.com LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/erika-martens-19167818 Connect with Steve and Jason:LinkedIn: Jason or SteveWebsite: Rewire, Inc.: Transformed Thinking Email: grow@rewireinc.com Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine TallaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Deploying community-based health workers has been a popular tactic to boost vaccination rates during COVID, but when the crisis ends, how can they stay engaged to help achieve other public health goals? That's the kind of question Maria Thacker-Goethe grapples with as CEO of the Atlanta-based Center for Global Health Innovation. “You have to have the respect to keep paying people and not leave them high and dry because that will just break down trust,” says Thacker-Goethe, who is also the President and CEO of Georgia Bio.  A key link in public health efforts in Georgia and beyond, she takes a ground-up approach to fostering collaboration among stakeholders in order to develop and share innovations, particularly those focused on health equity. A good example is a new “innovation district” the Center is building that will, in a unique twist, co-locate high tech health companies with public health organizations.  As she tells host Dr. Rishi Desai, Thacker-Goethe believes an underlying issue connecting all of this work is building trust through better communications, including more effective use of popular social media platforms, a tactic not yet fully embraced by the public health establishment. Don't miss this fascinating exploration of innovation in public health, and stay tuned to learn about a special project that shares the wisdom of public health pioneers.Mentioned in this episode:https://cghi.orghttps://www.9lessons.org

After a mini hiatus, 'Scaling Up' is back, and we have some incredible guests lined up in the coming months, none more so than this episode. Alex Vynokur came to Australia as a 16 year old from Soviet Ukraine, not speaking a work of English, but with a steely determination to make something of himself. And that is an understatement as to what he has achieved since – in the midst of the GFC, he co-founded BetaShares, a passive Exchange Traded Fund (or ETF) fund manager, with roughly $23b under management, making them the second largest in Australia and New Zealand. An ETF mimics an index but allows it to be investible and bought and sold on an exchange. The industry has moved swiftly from fairly vanilla – think tracking the ASX 200 or S&P 500, to more thematic or exotic type indexes - be it ESG based, or even more niche such as tracking a basket of companies involved in the creation of the metaverse. BetaShares has been at the forefront of this innovation – continually pushing the boundaries in its mission to democratise the ability for anyone to invest, given the ease, diversified and low cost nature of investing ETFs.

Is your child more challenging than most? Do typical parenting approaches not work? We talk about how to parent harder-to- parent kids with Dr. Ross Greene, the originator of the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions parenting model, a non-punitive, non-adversarial, trauma-informed model of care. Dr. Greene is a clinical psychologist, former Harvard professor, and the author The Explosive Child and Raising Human Beings.In this episode, we cover:Why are some kids “harder to parent”?How does trauma impact a child's behavior?How does innate temperament or genetics impact behavior?What is the collaborative partnership approach?3 Steps to the Collaborative & Proactive approach are:The Empathy step – involves gathering information so as to achieve the clearest understanding of the kid's concern or perspective about a given unsolved problem.The Define Adult Concern step involves the adult sharing their perspective.The Invitation step involves having the adult and kid brainstorm solutions so as to arrive at a plan of action that is both realistic and mutually satisfactory…in other words, a solution that addresses both concerns and that both parties can actually do.“Kids do well if they can.” Kids are challenging because they're lacking the skills not to be challenging. If they had the skills, they wouldn't be challenging. That's because – and here is perhaps the key theme of the model — Kids do well if they can. And because (here's another key theme) Doing well is always preferable to not doing well (but only if a kid has the skills to do well in the first place).How would you apply this approach to work with kids who have experienced trauma?Is Collaborative partnership permissive parenting?Practical applications:A child who struggles with transitions.A child who won't accept “no” and tantrums or argues.A child who doesn't handle change and can't be flexible.TattlingA teen who disregards curfew or other house rules.How to deal with aggressive behaviors towards pets, siblings, or parents?This podcast is produced  by www.CreatingaFamily.org.

Do you wonder if pursuing the intellectual life isn't for you because you don't consider yourself a thinker?

When COVID-19 first hit the US, the crisis response centered on equipment and hospital capacity. State, federal, and tribal leaders focused on setting up field hospitals, sourcing supplies, and mobilizing equipment. But the capacity shortfalls that most hampered our response were ultimately the country's nursing workforce. There were not enough nurses with the skills needed, in all the places they were needed. There still aren't enough.  Globally, health systems are struggling with historically high vacancy rates and low nurse staffing levels causing delays in care and safety concerns. All of which are driving nurses to exit the profession. Although these issues predate the pandemic, the immense physical and emotional strain of COVID-19 has precipitated a true talent emergency—one that requires urgent and substantial investments to create practice environments that attract, support, protect, respond to, and empower our nursing workforce to flourish and deliver their best. In this episode we meet nurses Gaurdia Banister, PhD, RN and Hiyam Nadel, MBA, CCG RN who are building a culture of inquiry for a health system globally recognized for innovation. We learn how innovation serves as an essential tool for listening and learning from the frontline and caring for the staff's wellbeing and career fulfillment, and how problem-solving can be transformative for an entire institution.

On this week's episode of Off The Cuff with Danny LoPriore, I'm joined by entrepreneur, author, speaker, and mental health advocate Michael Unbroken to discuss trauma and abuse in his childhood and how those experiences informed his journey, businesses, and current mission to help others foster their own confidence and well-being.  As he dives into his background as a biracial child raised in the mormon church, Michael touches on the reality of the abuse he sustained at the hands of his family members and the realization he came to as an adult.    “I had this recollection, or this experience – recollection is the wrong word – and I had this moment of reconciliation where I was like, ‘Oh I get it actually,' which is a really crazy thing to say because how could you “get” a grown up beating up a child. But that's because I look at who his mother was, my step grandma, and she was arguably – and I hate to say it but it's true – she was arguably the worst person I ever met in my life. And you look at that and you go ‘OK, this is what generational trauma is.” - Michael (10:23)   Michael's journey to unpack his childhood led him through various seasons, some filled with success and others great challenges. As a young adult only equipped with a high school diploma, he made his way to a Fortune 10 company where he learned difficult lessons about what it really means to prioritize your mental health through action and how to ultimately close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.     “The answer to everything in life is action. People are like ‘I hate my relationship' – well, leave it or make it better… And that's the thing about all of this – the healing journey, the physical journey, the mental journey, the spiritual journey; do it, man… You've got to go and put yourself in the situation.” - Michael (36:05) Through Michael's winding journey, he's found that mental health requires commitment from everyone. Michael suggests that you work through that fear and begin new actions TODAY to grow as an individual. “Where you are today versus where you want to be tomorrow – there is a gap. And every single day, the mission is to close that gap until you become that version of you.” - Michael (38:57)   In This Episode (01:36) - Michael's background as a biracial child living in poverty, growing up in the mormon church, and living with abusive parents (03:37)- The church's role in his life as a child (06:42) - The way he perceived his biological father and how his stepfather treated him and his siblings (15:34) - Mental health on the internet – what helps and what hurts (24:13) - Money trauma and the financial lessons Michael learned in his 20s (33:10) - Michael's minimalist lifestyle and how it affects his mental health (36:05) - The importance of action in your own journey (45:19) - How people living in lower income and impoverished areas can invest in their mental health (53:23) - Michael's thoughts on happiness   Our Guest Michael Unbroken is an author, coach, speaker, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate for those who have survived abuse. With a high school diploma and a mountain of determination, Michael has built coaching programs, written a book, designed courses, and more to help survivors work through their trauma, build their confidence, and invest in their lives.  He is passionate about helping people foster healthy actions and is committed to using his platform as a mental health influencer and his podcast to equip people with the information they need to heal from their trauma.    Resources & Links Off The Cuff https://www.offthecuff.fm/ https://www.youtube.com/c/OffTheCuffwithDannyLoPriore https://www.instagram.com/1and1otc/ https://www.instagram.com/dannylopriore/ Michael Unbroken https://www.instagram.com/michaelunbroken/?hl=en https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelunbroken https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC95YX4cZdz39HHIaLZYFsGA https://www.thinkunbroken.com/ https://www.thinkunbrokenpodcast.com/
