For 12 years, Jason Wright has been obsessed with one question: Can a protein snack compete with the biggest brands in the chip aisle on taste alone? In this episode, Jason, the founder and CEO of Wilde Snacks, explains how a failed meat-bar business led to a breakthrough innovation, why he spent years building proprietary manufacturing technology, and how Wilde's new Protein Crackers fit into a broader vision for a protein-powered snack platform.  Jason also discusses the value of patient investors, the strategic role of Costco and product sampling in driving trial, and why he believes the future of better-for-you snacks depends on eliminating the compromise between nutrition and indulgence. Show notes: 0:20: Jason Wright, Founder & CEO, Wilde Snacks – Jason reflects on his first appearance on Taste Radio before discussing the years-long effort to develop Wilde's proprietary manufacturing technology and the opening of the company's first production facility in 2021, a move he credits with transforming the brand and fueling sustained growth. He also talks about the launch of Wilde Protein Crackers, the strategic advantages of owning manufacturing, and how patents, specialized equipment, and operational expertise have helped create a formidable competitive moat. Along the way, Jason highlights the role of Costco, Whole Foods, and product sampling in driving consumer trial, while outlining Wilde's ambitions to expand into new protein-based snack formats, including tortilla chips and other innovations. He also emphasizes the importance of patient investors, particularly lead backer Alan Karp, whose long-term support enabled Wilde to pursue an unconventional vision and build the business on its own timeline. Brands in this episode: Wilde Snacks, Epic, Kind, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Fritos, Pringles, Quest

Most AI conversations focus on the technology. This one focuses on the people building it. In this episode of Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki, I sit down with Tasso Roumeliotis, Founder & CEO of NUMA AI, for a candid conversation about leadership, change, AI adoption, customer experience and what dealership operators need to understand as artificial intelligence becomes part of daily operations. What fascinated me most wasn't the product. It was learning how an outsider to automotive earned trust inside one of the most operationally complex industries in the world and what dealership leaders can learn from that journey. We discuss: • Why most AI failures are actually adoption failures • The resistance employees feel when AI enters the workplace • How leaders should communicate AI change to their teams • Why understanding the people behind AI matters as much as understanding the technology • The future role of dealership leadership in an AI-driven world • How AI can improve visibility into customer experience and operational performance • Why empathy may become the most valuable human skill in automotive retail • What operators should be thinking about now to prepare for the next few years Whether you're a dealer principal, general manager, fixed ops leader, sales leader, service manager, BDC director, or simply curious about where automotive retail is headed, this episode offers practical insight into the leadership side of AI transformation. Because the future won't be determined by who buys the most AI. It will be determined by who leads people through change the best.

Kristen and Brandon have shaken out the cobwebs and are back with a new episode of The Simmer featuring friend-of-the-pod, Joshua Sharkey, founder and CEO of Meez, a culinary operating system and recipe management tool. Pre-Meez, Josh spent time in the kitchens of several restaurants, including New York's Tabla and Bouley. In this episode, we cover recipe scaling and sourcing (and more nonsexy but totally essential back-office tech) plus a whole lot about AI and how it's primed to change how we all interact with everyone and everything.

What happens when a longtime facility manager steps beyond the built environment to help reshape it through technology? In this episode of Connected FM, host Brent Ward welcomes Billy Holder, Founder & CEO at Project Aidra, for a conversation about digital transformation, AI and the evolving role of facility management in a technology-driven world. Drawing from nearly 30 years of experience in facility management, Billy shares how recurring operational frustrations led him from the FM field into the PropTech space. He discusses why documentation overload, disconnected systems and inefficient workflows pushed him to search for smarter solutions powered by AI and automation. The conversation explores how facility managers can use technology to augment the workforce instead of replacing it, why human connection still matters in smart buildings, and what organizations should consider when evaluating PropTech platforms and AI-enabled tools. Whether you are a facility manager navigating digital transformation or simply curious about where the built environment is headed next, this episode offers practical insights into the future of FM and the people shaping it.

A flood destroyed the factory, the FDA shut them down, and the company had almost no cash and then something remarkable happened.  Ramon Vela sits down with Alex Whitmore, Founder & CEO of Taza Chocolate, for a deeply human conversation about twenty-plus years of stone-ground, mission-driven chocolate making in Somerville, Massachusetts.  From a transformative trip to Oaxaca to pioneering direct trade relationships with cocoa farmers in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Alex's story is one of the most compelling in the specialty food world. * The flood that almost ended everything. Just a few years into building Taza, a freak thunderstorm flooded the factory, destroyed inventory, and triggered an FDA shutdown. What happened next surprised even Alex: suppliers, customers, landlord, and community all showed up. That moment taught him that business is deeply human at its core. * A trip to Oaxaca that changed everything. The name Taza comes from "taza de chocolate," a traditional Mexican drinking chocolate. After visiting stone mills in southern Mexico in his twenties, Alex came home and built the only company in America making chocolate on traditional Mexicano stone mills — and that founding commitment still defines every bar made today. * Direct trade before it was a trend. Taza built relationships directly with cocoa farmers, paying above fair trade prices and publishing an annual transparency report. When the global cocoa crisis hit and prices spiked, those long-standing farmer relationships became a genuine competitive and operational lifeline. * Twenty years of staying independent. Taza raised only $120,000 at the start and never chased outside capital. Alex walks through what two decades of bootstrapping in an intensely competitive specialty food category actually teaches you about patience, resilience, and staying true to your craft. * Start with the Wicked Dark. Taza's number one seller is a 95% dark chocolate bar made with cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Alex also points new fans to the Mexican Style Chocolate Discs, the product that best captures who Taza has always been. Join us in listening to this episode for a rich and genuinely moving conversation about craft, community, and what it means to build a brand with deep roots and unshakeable values over two decades.  Whether you are a chocolate lover, a founder, or someone who just needs a reminder of why the mission matters, this one will stay with you.  Visit: https://www.tazachocolate.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this! * Today's Sponsors: Saral - The Influencer OS: https://www.getsaral.com/demo SARAL is the all-in-one influencer platform that finds brand-aligned creators, automates outreach, and manages everything in one place.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Molly: I take a bet on others and encourage them to be their best selves, that I believe in them, that I trust them.Women entrepreneurs continue to face systemic barriers when accessing capital for their businesses. Despite accounting for nearly half of all new businesses in the U.S., women founders receive only 2% of total venture capital funding. Molly Huyck, Founder and CEO of AeQuitas Invest, realized the dire need for change and has built an innovative solution: a funding platform exclusively for women entrepreneurs.Molly's journey toward launching AeQuitas Invest began at PayPal, where she spent over 20 years building a career informed by innovation and a commitment to creating equal opportunities. Motivated by her global mentorship experience with women entrepreneurs in partnership with the Cherie Blair Foundation, Molly learned of a staggering $5 trillion gap in global GDP caused by inequities in access to capital for women. This eye-opening realization fueled her passion to address the challenge.“When in looking at other crowdfunding platforms, literally, on average, four out of 66 raises that are going on at any one time are women founders,” Molly explained. “It doesn't make sense to me personally, and it doesn't make sense economically.”AeQuitas Invest is more than a simple platform—it's an ecosystem designed to support women founders beyond funding. Molly and her team take a hands-on approach, creating cohorts of founders to foster collaboration and shared learning. The platform also offers access to marketing, legal, and accounting experts, helping women founders navigate challenges at just the right time.“Women operate differently. Women lead differently,” Molly said. “Studies show they typically have a return of $0.78 per dollar invested in them versus men, who return only $0.31 per dollar. That's why I created AeQuitas Invest—to connect women founders with investors and close the gap.”Currently, the platform has several promising campaigns in its pipeline, including Blockchain Homes, which is already live. By offering regulated crowdfunding opportunities, AeQuitas Invest empowers investors to support women-led businesses and drive meaningful change.Molly's story and AeQuitas Invest demonstrate the power of innovation and collective support to address inequities for women entrepreneurs. This episode highlights how platforms like AeQuitas can be game changers for gender equality in entrepreneurship.tl;dr:Women-led businesses receive just 2% of VC funding, but AeQuitas Invest aims to change that.Founder Molly Huyck built AeQuitas Invest to provide a crowdfunding platform just for women founders.The platform creates a community with hands-on support to help women succeed in fundraising.Molly shares how her personal journey and experience inspired her commitment to gender equality.Today's episode highlights how empowering women entrepreneurs creates meaningful impact for investors and society.How to Develop Empowering Others As a SuperpowerMolly's superpower lies in empowering others, especially women, to rise up and succeed. Reflecting on her journey, she explained, “I take a bet on others and encourage them to be their best selves, that I believe in them, that I trust them.” Molly's approach is rooted in creating opportunities for others to thrive, fostering confidence, and supporting people to achieve their full potential.Molly described hiring an executive chef for the women's sports bar she opened. The candidate had only applied for the sous chef position, doubting her ability to lead. Molly recognized her potential and took a chance on her. With Molly's encouragement, the new chef rose to meet the challenge and excelled in her role. This example perfectly illustrates Molly's commitment to empowering others by believing in their abilities and investing in their growth.Tips for Developing this Superpower:Take chances on others by recognizing their potential, even if they doubt themselves.Offer encouragement and affirmation to help people overcome self-doubt and unlock their confidence.Connect with diverse communities and create inclusive environments that support mutual growth.Build a supportive network of peers who can share experiences and provide feedback.By following Molly's example and advice, you can make empowering others a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMolly Huyck (she/her):Founder/CEO, AeQuitas InvestAbout AeQuitas Invest: Aequitas Invest is the only woman founded crowdfunding platform for women entrepreneurs. AQi solves the gap between opportunity and access—where high-potential founders, especially women, struggle to get funded, and everyday investors are excluded from early-stage investing.

In this episode of The Healers Cafe, Manon speaks with Maggie Kelly, a spiritual counselor and shamanic energy medicine healer, discussing her transformative journey, sparked by her youngest child's cystic fibrosis diagnosis at age 30. Initially coping with stress through drinking, she turned to meditation, which led her to become a Chopra Center meditation teacher and open Satsang House.  For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/maggie-kelly    Highlights from today's episode include:  Maggie explains addiction is about pain, not the substance – the real issue isn't alcohol, shopping, or porn, but the unhealed pain underneath. Maggie speaks about spiritual bypassing – even meditation and spirituality can become another way to avoid feeling and processing trauma. Manon explains Limited bandwidth & dropping blame – as parents we have only so much capacity; the real growth comes when adult children move from blaming to learning from their experience.   ABOUT MAGGIE KELLY: We never grow unless or until we are challenged. Most come to Satsang House in the midst of one of life's challenges or while at a turning point in their lives. Intuitively, I believe they already know they are ready for change or some sort of an upgrade to their current circumstances and life. I have created Satsang House Meditation and Spiritual Center around my own healing journey. Over the past three decades, I've spent time studying under meditation experts, Eckhart Tolle, Alberto Villoldo and the Inkan Shamans of the Andes. Most recently I've been immersing myself with the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza which has become the perfect compliment to the way I teach and practice meditation as well as to the energy healing side of my work. I have been extremely blessed to marry my personal experiences into my life's work at Satsang House as a Meditation Teacher, Energy Healer, Spiritual Counselor and Life Coach.    Core purpose/passion: My mission is to help people all over the world cultivate emotional well-being, increase their capacity to love and care for others, and participate in the creation of a more interconnected and compassionate world.  Website | Facebook |  Instagram | YouTube |   ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, RBHT, FCAH: As a retired Naturopath 1992-2021, I saw an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

What if the secret to winning in CPG wasn't chasing the next trend – but staying focused on simple ingredients, a clear brand promise, and flawless execution? In this episode, Jeff Richards, founder and CEO of plant-based milk brand Mooala, explains how a commitment to organic sourcing, clear positioning, and a disciplined retail strategy helped transform a scrappy startup into one of the category's fastest-growing companies – even as the plant-based industry around it raced to reinvent itself. Show notes: 0:20: Jeff Richards, Founder & CEO, Mooala – Jeff reflects on his participation in BevNET Live's New Beverage Showdown in 2017 and discusses leaving investment banking to pursue an opportunity he saw in almond milk. He talks about Mooala's distinctive organic almond and banana milks and explains how the brand differentiated itself through organic certification, ingredient transparency, and flavor-forward formulations. He opens up about the challenges of educating consumers, refining Mooala's packaging, and adapting its messaging as shopper priorities evolved. He also details the realities of scaling a refrigerated beverage brand, from securing early wins with retailers such as Whole Foods, Costco, H-E-B, and Wegmans to navigating distribution, pricing, and marketing constraints with limited resources. Jeff shares lessons from fundraising, including the risks of raising capital before establishing product-market fit, and reflects on the rise and subsequent correction of the plant-based category. Looking back, he emphasizes the importance of incremental improvement, disciplined innovation, and patience, noting that Mooala's recent success stems from the alignment of strong products, clear brand messaging, organic positioning, and growing consumer demand.

What happens when hiring becomes almost entirely automated? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Mitch McDermott explore why the companies that preserve human connection may outperform those that turn recruiting into a purely transactional process.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Mitch McDermott discuss: How AI is transforming recruiting, hiring, and talent acquisition The risks of removing the human element from the hiring process Why have workplaces become increasingly transactional in recent years Practical strategies for standing out in a competitive job market The leadership and relationship skills that will matter most in the future of work   Key Takeaways: AI can improve recruiting efficiency, but organizations still need human judgment to identify culture fit, potential, and long-term success. The best candidates are not always the ones with the most optimized resumes, which creates risks when hiring relies too heavily on automated screening. Job seekers can improve their chances by bypassing crowded application systems and building direct relationships with decision-makers. Organizations that create meaningful employee connections may gain a competitive advantage as work becomes increasingly automated. High-quality effort, authentic communication, and relationship-building remain powerful differentiators in both hiring and leadership.   "High-quality effort gets high-quality results. Everyone is doing low effort, and most people in their job search are seeing low results.” — Mitch McDermott   About Mitch McDermott: Mitch McDermott is an entrepreneur, talent advisor, and Founder & CEO of Talent Ascension Group, where he is advancing how companies evaluate, hire, and build mid-level leadership teams. He is recognized for challenging how the recruitment industry is structured and for pioneering a modern approach to mid-level leadership hiring by applying executive search standards to Manager, Director, and VP-level roles. Beyond his work, Mitch is an active voice in the talent industry and is known for his contrarian views on hiring, careers, and job search. He brings a blend of entrepreneurial spirit, global perspective, and a deep commitment to meaningful impact across the talent acquisition landscape.   Connect with Mitch McDermott:   Website: https://www.talentascension.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitch-mcdermott-ba409387/       See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

They kick things off with Broadcom's post-earnings selloff, a two-plus trillion dollar company that dropped over 16% after missing on key AI revenue targets and what it signals about how quickly the market punishes misses at elevated valuations, even when the underlying metrics aren't bad. From there, Guy and Dan dig into the broader AI trade, single-stock volatility versus a VIX sitting below 16, and what the repeal of the pattern day trading rule could mean for retail momentum names going forward. They also touch on Google's surprising resilience on a rough day for semis, why the market may be coming around to it as a long-term AI winner, and what a potential SpaceX IPO could mean for capital rotation across the tech landscape. After the break, Guy Adami sits down with Brian Paes-Braga, Executive Co-Chairman and CEO of Metals Royalty Company (Nasdaq: TMCR), to discuss one of the most urgent and underreported stories in markets today: America's critical mineral crisis. China controls 19 of 20 critical minerals essential to the modern economy, and the U.S. is decades behind. Brian breaks down why rare earths and critical minerals are a national security issue, how the mining industry was quietly offshored while no one was paying attention, and why the race to secure supply chains may mirror the shale revolution that transformed American energy dominance. They also dig into how the Metals Royalty Company is positioning itself as an alternative capital provider for mining projects across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America and why this could be one of the biggest investment themes of the next decade.

In this episode I'm joined by Robert Newry, Founder & CEO of the assessment company Arctic Shores and long time champion of doing assessment right! Robert and I (and my AI co-host Mayda Tokens!) dig into one of the most urgent problems in hiring right now: the complete breakdown of traditional hiring signals.We ponder the question- “How do we find the truth in an age where AI has flooded the top of the funnel, made credentials and resumes unreliable, and put enormous pressure on organizations to find new ways to identify talent?”And we come up with some pretty good answers!1. The Top of the Funnel Is in ChaosThe numbers are staggering. Accenture's global resourcing lead told Robert they're on pace for 12 million applications this year for roughly 100,000 hires — up from 4 million just three years ago. Same size team. Two and a half times the volume. The culprit isn't a surge in qualified candidates; it's AI-powered application tools that let candidates apply to jobs while they sleep. The moral contract between candidates and employers has been broken: candidates assume companies are using AI to screen, so they're using AI to apply.“It's chaos out there. Candidates are using AI to fight AI — and we're in a no-win scenario.”2. Traditional Assessment Is Increasingly GameableArctic Shores' research from 18 months ago showed what most people didn't want to admit: AI can ace virtually any traditional assessment format — personality tests, cognitive reasoning, multiple choice — with ease. And it's not just about having a second screen open. Candidates can now point a phone at their screen, have the AI read the item, and get the answer instantly. Proctoring doesn't solve this. The old protection mechanisms are obsolete.3. The Answer Is Better Signal, Not More AIThe solution isn't to ban AI from the process — it's to design assessments that AI can't easily game because they're rooted in authentic behavior. Robert's framework: if AI is being used to evaluate signals, those signals have to be grounded in high-fidelity behavioral data — not scraped from job descriptions, not inferred from keyword matching, not built on garbage in. Job descriptions themselves are often the first failure point, and no amount of downstream AI sophistication fixes a weak foundation.4. Stop Counting Leaves — Look at the RootsRobert's tree analogy is one of the sharpest frameworks in this episode. For decades, hiring has been obsessed with leaves — the skills on a resume, the credentials on a LinkedIn profile. But with the average shelf life of a skill now estimated at two and a half years, leaves are increasingly unreliable. What matters is the root system: the durable human capabilities that allow someone to grow new skills, adapt to changing roles, and thrive in uncertainty.5. Skills-Based Hiring Needs a Clearer Definition of “Skill”Both Robert and I agree: the skills-based hiring movement is directionally right, but conceptually messy. Calling “innovation” or “persistence” a skill conflates what can be learned with what is innate. Durable traits — personality, cognitive style, learning orientation — don't expire the way technical skills do. Measurement strategy has to account for these differences, or skills-based hiring just becomes the next echo chamber.Final TakeawayThe hiring signal crisis is real — and it's accelerating. AI has made it trivially easy to fake credentials, game traditional assessments, and flood the funnel with noise. The organizations that receive the best signal won't be the ones that deploy the most AI. They'll be the ones that invest in the right signal: behavior-based, validated, and rooted in the durable human traits that no machine can fake.*Claude.ai assisted with the creation of these show notes This is a public episode.

She left Goldman Sachs, moved to Mozambique for a year, and came back to build one of the most distinct wellness brands in America.  Rose Hamilton, CEO of Compass Rose Ventures and co-host of The Story of a Brand Show, sits down with Shizu Okusa, Founder & CEO of Apothékary, for a masterclass in what it really means to build a brand system not just a product line. From a New York City billboard to a Series A close, Apothékary is proof that deep roots and radical clarity can outpace any amount of paid media spend. * Three iterations before liftoff. Apothékary started as a pop-up store rooted in Ayurveda, evolved into powders, and eventually landed on liquid supplements, a format Shizu now considers a near-monopoly position. The lesson: your first product is almost never your final one. * Heritage as an operating system, not a mood board. Shizu's Japanese roots show up in how the company hires, iterates, and moves; guided by the principle of Kaizen, continuous improvement. It's not packaging. It's how the business runs. * TikTok crossed a million dollars a month and here's why. Apothékary's TikTok success isn't about chasing the algorithm. It's built on 20,000+ affiliates creating education-first content around a visually distinctive blue liquid dropper that stops the scroll and earns the click. * Retail forced brutal clarity. Entering Whole Foods, Sprouts, and The Vitamin Shoppe forced Apothékary to put ingredient benefits bigger than the brand name on packaging. The consumer doesn't have time for your founder story in the aisle and that discipline makes the brand stronger everywhere. * Distribution is the moat. In a category where products get copied, Shizu's sharpest insight is that the real defensibility is distribution,  the ability to play in grocery, health care, and beauty simultaneously, backed by proprietary formulas and Shiseido as a strategic investor. Join us in listening to this episode for one of the most intellectually rigorous and practically useful brand conversations we've had on the show. Rose and Shizu cover signal, thesis, behavior, and proof, the four pillars of a brand that becomes easier to understand and harder to copy over time.  Whether you're a founder, an operator, or an investor, this one will sharpen how you think.  For more on Apothékary visit: https://www.apothekary.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this!

In this episode of The Healers Cafe, Manon speaks with Dr. Alan Weisser, a JD, attorney, clinical psychologist, and program developer, discussed his unique journey integrating legal, psychological, and organizational expertise to address complex mental health conditions and chronic pain. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-alan-weisser    Highlights from today's episode include:  Existential Immune System & Human Power – We're not designed to be powerless or just suffer; we have an "existential immune system" that's always trying to heal us if we use our thoughts and feelings correctly. Living in Inspiration – Healing doesn't mean no pain, but having purpose and inspiration (like his patient rediscovering a love of robotics) gives people a real "fighting chance" to live meaningfully despite pain. The Body Is Built to Heal – The body (and person) is inherently designed to heal; the key is to stop fighting that capacity and instead support it—physically, emotionally, and energetically   ABOUT DR ALAN WEISSER: Dr. Alan Stephen Weisser, JD, PhD, is a psychologist, attorney, and program developer whose career spans more than five decades across law, behavioral health, and system-level clinical leadership. His work reflects a rare integration of legal, psychological, and organizational expertise, with a sustained focus on complex mental health conditions, chronic pain, and the development of effective, patient-centered systems of care. Dr. Weisser began his professional career in law, practicing as a trial attorney and later in private practice, specializing in real estate, business development and creation, and organizational structuring in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. His early legal work included service with the Legal Aid Society in New York, where he handled civil, consumer, and poverty law cases, as well as legal defense for underserved populations. This foundation shaped his lifelong understanding of systemic barriers, advocacy, and the structural dimensions of human suffering. Transitioning into psychology, Dr. Weisser trained and practiced in some of New York's most demanding clinical environments, including Bellevue Hospital, Maimonides Medical Center, and the Einstein/Bronx Psychiatric Center. There, he developed extensive expertise in psychological assessment, inpatient and outpatient treatment, and psychiatric rehabilitation. He played a key role in the transformation of long-term inpatient psychiatric care into community-oriented rehabilitation systems, designing programs that integrated inpatient, transitional, and outpatient services with a focus on autonomy, functional recovery, and reduced recidivism. Over the course of the 1990s and early 2000s, Dr. Weisser held multiple senior leadership roles, including Program Director, Clinical Team Leader, and ultimately Clinical Director positions within community mental health systems in Washington State. In these roles, he was responsible for large-scale clinical operations, program development, quality assurance, contract compliance, and supervision of multidisciplinary staff. His work involved the design and implementation of integrated service delivery systems, coordination across agencies and stakeholders, and the advancement of innovative approaches to behavioral health care. Since 2002, Dr. Weisser has been the Founder and Director of New Options, Inc., in Seattle, Washington, where he provides individual, group, family, and couples therapy, as well as specialized chronic pain evaluations and treatment coordination. His work emphasizes integrating psychological, behavioral, and physical health perspectives, particularly in the treatment of chronic pain and medically complex conditions. He has developed psychoeducational programs, clinical interventions, and training materials designed to empower patients and improve treatment outcomes. Dr. Weisser is also the author of New Possibilities: Unraveling the Mystery and Mastering Chronic Pain and the developer of the Mastery of Chronic Pain program, a structured, curriculum-based approach to helping individuals regain control over their lives. His work combines clinical rigor with practical application, translating complex psychological and medical concepts into accessible tools for both patients and practitioners. In addition to his clinical and programmatic work, Dr. Weisser has served as an instructor at the university level, teaching in psychology and public administration. His career reflects a consistent commitment to education, system improvement, and the integration of theory and practice. Across all phases of his work—from law to psychology to organizational leadership—Dr. Alan Stephen Weisser has focused on one central aim: developing meaningful, effective pathways for individuals and systems to move beyond limitation toward recovery, functionality, and sustained well-being.

Megan Gaul, a weight loss coach from Staten Island, discusses her journey and approach to helping women over 30 with 200 pounds or more achieve their weight loss goals. With a background in education, Megan emphasizes the behavioral aspects of weight loss, drawing from her own 100-pound weight loss in 2018. She highlights common mental barriers like unstructured weekends and the "it shouldn't be hard" mindset.  For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/magan-gaul    Highlights from today's episode include:  Megan states weekends with no structure often derail weekday progress. Megan explains that long-term weight loss is won or lost in the mind, not the diet. Manon talks about Naturopathic doctors aren't automatically coaches—and patients often expect both.   ABOUT MEGAN GAUL: Megan is a weight loss coach from Staten Island. Her mission is to support women age 30 and up, 200 lbs and up, achieve their weight-loss goals without shrinking their lives. She came to this mission through her own 100-lb weight loss in 2018, where she discovered food freedom, healthier emotional boundaries, self-trust, and a richer life. She's now in her 5th year of business, and she and her clients focus on small habit-change, self-compassion, and authenticity. Core purpose/passion: I'm most passionate about helping women live more in-tune with what they want. So many of us live in fear for a huge percentage of our adult lives. We get stuck in people-pleasing, anxiety, and making choices only to get away from what we dislike. I want more women to feel awesome about making choices to go TOWARDS what they desire.
