Welcome to Hot Topics! Our host, Gabrielle Crichlow, and guest Dr. Sheldon Greaves kick off the show by celebrating the inherent joy of learning. They discuss how curiosity drives engagement and creativity, highlighting the importance of fostering a love for learning in both children and adults. Tune in to discover how to cultivate this joy in everyday life! Who is Dr. Sheldon Greaves?Navigating graduate school required a creative approach for Dr. Sheldon Greaves, who realized after graduating that while traditional academia wasn't his path, his personal journey of learning had evolved into a rich and rewarding life experience. By choosing to forego a conventional academic career, he has embraced a diverse range of pursuits:Working in the nonprofit sector to promote science literacy and educationCo-founding the first private university aimed at serving the intelligence, counterterrorism, and executive protection industriesPublishing papers on wordplay in ancient Near Eastern omen textsCollaborating with a team of amateur scientists to build the world's first amateur rocket designed for outer spaceDeveloping numerous local adult education programsProducing and publishing a 50-part podcast introduction to the Old TestamentStarting and running a company dedicated to publishing science education softwareThrough these experiences, Dr. Greaves has learned that learning for its own sake is a profoundly enriching journey toward personal growth and empowerment. His book, "The Guerrilla Scholar's Handbook," serves as a guide for those eager to explore this path. "The Guerrilla Scholar's Handbook" combines elements of how-to, memoir, and manifesto.

Welcome to Hot Topics! Our host, Gabrielle Crichlow, invites guest Russell Van Brocklen to discuss the Specialty-First Literacy Blueprint and the effective strategies parents can use to support their dyslexic children at home. Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects approximately 15-20% of learners, making reading and writing challenging for many students. However, with the right approach and resources, children with dyslexia can develop their skills and thrive academically.In this episode, we explore how to make reading enjoyable and accessible for your child. Follow these steps to create a personalized reading experience:Find What Your Child Likes: Talk to your child about their favorite things, such as animals, sports, or superheroes, and write down what they love.Pick a Book: Choose a print book that matches their interests and is slightly more challenging—at least one grade level above what they usually read.Get the Audiobook: Find the same book as an audiobook or record someone reading it clearly. This helps them follow along.Listen and Follow: Have your child listen to the audiobook while following the words in the book with their finger for 10 minutes.Circle Hard Words: Help your child identify difficult words and circle them in the book. If they prefer not to write in the book, they can type these words in a Word document instead.Look Up Word Meanings: Use the Merriam-Webster app together to check the meanings of those hard words. Encourage your child to verbalize the word after hearing the pronunciation in the app.Do More Vocabulary Work: Spend another 10 minutes finding and learning about any other hard words they come across.Make Sentences: Ask your child to create sentences using the new words to help reinforce their memory.Re-Read: Return to the section of the book they just read. Have them listen to the audio and read along again, focusing on the challenging words they just looked up.Keep Going: Repeat steps 4 to 9 until they finish the book, and celebrate their achievements to keep them excited about reading!Join us as we delve into the importance of personalized learning and structured literacy methods, empowering parents to help their children overcome reading challenges associated with dyslexia and thrive in their educational journey.Who is Russell Van Brocklen?From Russell: "Dyslexia touches as many as 15–20 % of all learners, yet most families still hear 'wait and see.' I flip that script. As the Dyslexia Professor, I translate structured-literacy methods proven most effective for struggling readers into bite-size actions parents can use tonight.

Welcome to Hot Topics! Join us on a journey as our host, Gabrielle Crichlow, and returning guest Daniel Tausan explore the intricate relationship between science and religion in this episode. We delve into the historical, philosophical, and contemporary aspects of this age-old conflict, sharing our insights and experiences. The episode focuses on the debate between faith and empirical evidence, examining how science and religion can coexist and even align despite common misconceptions. Both realms seek to explain existence and the universe's origins, often from different perspectives.We emphasize the importance of personal interpretation of religious texts, suggesting that many descriptions may be metaphorical rather than literal. Science is portrayed as a tool for understanding the universe, while religion provides moral and ethical guidance. Our discussion also addresses historical inaccuracies and misguided beliefs within religious doctrines that science has challenged.The universal principle of "do unto others," found across many religious teachings, resonates with scientific observations about cooperation and community dynamics. Throughout the episode, we encourage listeners to nurture curiosity, ask questions, and remain open to fresh interpretations of both scientific and religious ideas.Ultimately, we suggest that both science and religion can enhance our understanding of humanity and the cosmos, advocating for a harmonious relationship rather than a divisive one. Be sure to tune in and share your thoughts with us!Who is Daniel Tausan?Daniel Tausan is a freelance scientist specializing in health and communication. He works with everyone from CEOs to everyday individuals, guiding them through what he calls practical longevity—or dissolving disease through applied biology.

With the rise of indoctrination in various media, it is crucial for parents—especially Christian ones—to actively monitor what their kids watch on TV and the internet.Gabrielle and Vincent emphasize the need to guide children according to the teachings of Proverbs 22:6, which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Throughout the episode, listeners will gain insights into Raven's "big" teaching style, which keeps students interested and helps them learn effectively.

I've been married for 20 years and have two amazing boys, ages 15 and 12. After earning my BBA in Business Management from SFA, I went back to school and became a certified Reading Specialist with a master's in education. I spent 16 years in both public and private school classrooms and now homeschool full-time. I co-founded a thriving homeschool co-op that's going strong after four years, and I currently offer online tutoring.

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow talks with returning guest Brittany Gregorio, who shares her journey of leaving a stressful marketing career to pursue her true passion for yoga and energy healing. Brittany opens up about her experiences with burnout and how embracing her healing background became the key to her happiness.Brittany transitioned from being a marketing CEO to a yoga teacher and healer after experiencing severe burnout. While managing her marketing company, she faced overwhelming demands from clients, often working late nights to meet their needs. As a mother of three, including a child with special needs, balancing work and family was challenging and added to her stress.Initially, Brittany hesitated to hire help for her business due to her loyalty to her clients. A deep emotional awakening during a yoga class inspired her to take yoga and meditation more seriously. However, she faced criticism in the yoga industry regarding body image, which contributed to her feelings of inadequacy.As she continued in marketing, Brittany began dreaming of returning to yoga and meditation, growing increasingly resentful of her career. A turning point came during a train ride to a medical appointment with her son, where she experienced a mental breakdown while reading a book called "Dharma," which focuses on finding purpose.After stepping off the train, Brittany decided to leave her marketing career and informed her clients of her decision, which brought her immense relief. With her husband's financial and emotional support, she began building a construction and plumbing business with him while reestablishing her yoga practice. This journey highlights the importance of self-care, following one's true passion, and asking yourself, "Are you happy?"Tune in for insights on finding fulfillment and living authentically.Who is Brittany Gregorio?Brittany Gregorio is a former brand and marketing CEO turned soul-led healer, yoga teacher, and meditation guide. After experiencing deep burnout running a six-figure business, Brittany embarked on a journey back to herself — rediscovering purpose, peace, and her true dharma through yoga, meditation, and nervous system healing. Today, she creates transformative spaces for others to come home to themselves — whether through curvy-body-inclusive yoga classes, deeply healing Yoga Nidra sessions, or her signature Sacred Rage Release experiences.

Gabrielle Crichlow from A Step Ahead Tutoring Services and Amber Hawkins from Your Computer Needs of Toledo LLC came together in this webinar to ask a question:Parents — Are you aware of today's dangers of social media?Dangers known and unknown equate to fear. In the case of social media, just getting on it can be interpreted as a form of fear. There's everything from understanding the different social media sites to knowing if your children are safe as they navigate them. Everything from scamming to cyberbullying has gotten not only more sophisticated but has become bolder. If that's not more on a parent's plate, there's dealing with artificial intelligence (AI for short). As a parent, this question of “Am I really aware of today's dangers of social media?” is more evident.  During this webinar, let's begin the process of knowing today's dangers of social media and what it takes to lessen them.Your Computer Needs of Toledo, LLC's Contact Information:On the web: https://www.yourcomputerneeds.netOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YCNOTLLC05On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/YCNOTLLC05On LinkedIn (personal): https://www.linkedin.com/in/ycnotllc05On LinkedIn (business): https://www.linkedin.com/company/ycnotllc05?trk=public_profile_topcard-current-companyOn TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/YCNOTLLC05On X: https://www.twitter.com/YCNOTLLC05On Pinterest: https://bit.ly/33bU2V0On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/YCNOTLLC05The YCNOTLLC05 Online Computers & Accessories Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/YCNOTLLC05The special for online and e-mobile computer training: https://the-ycnotllc05-computer-training-center.thinkific.com/Discount on virtual computer consulting: https://my.setmore.com/bookingpage/6ebe645c-ac16-4cb1-afa4-5c7ad5cdee3d/services/s59faa521b5835f1dd518ea5176ad90077ccc03d2Watch this event on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ay7djKnBlooRate this event on IMDB: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt33037817/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk********************************************Follow A Step Ahead Tutoring Services:On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astepaheadtutoringservicesOn X: https://www.x.com/ASATS2013On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@astepaheadtutoringservicesOn TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@asats2013On Eventbrite: https://astepaheadtutoringservices.eventbrite.comVisit our website: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.comSign up for our email list: https://squareup.com/outreach/a41DaE/subscribeSign up for our text list: https://eztxt.s3.amazonaws.com/534571/widgets/61fc686d8d6665.90336120.htmlCheck out our entire "Hot Topics!" podcast: https://www.astepaheadtutoringservices.com/hottopicspodcastSupport us:Cash App: https://cash.app/$ASATS2013PayPal: https://paypal.me/ASATS2013Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/ASATS2013Zelle: success@astepaheadtutoringservices.comYou can also become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hot-topics--5600971/support Original date of episode: June 25, 2024
