Oxygen for the Soul (ft. Simon T. Bailey, Keynote Speaker, Author, Coach)Simon T. Bailey on encouragement, reinvention, and the unlimited power of womenOPENING QUOTE:“I think every Playmaker listening to us right now, be sure to remember that encouragement is oxygen for the soul. Who is one person that, after you hear everything we're talking about, you can go and encourage them via text, via video, or via a call? It's oxygen for the soul.”—Simon T. BaileyGUEST BIO:Simon T. Bailey's purpose in life is to help you discover your brilliance through motivational speeches which have netted him Hall of Fame accolades. He also offers direct one-on-one coaching, has published nine personal and professional development books (including a number of bestsellers), hosts a national TV talk show program, and created a viral video with over 90 million total views. Simon's framework for brilliance is based on his 30 years of experience in hospitality, including serving as sales director for the Disney Institute. His client roster includes Salesforce, Stanford Healthcare, General Mills, and Hilton Hotels.Show Links:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramTikTokFacebookYouTubeTwitterCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[10:42] - The Power of EncouragementBreathe life into the people around youBoth Simon and Paul share their perspectives on encouraging the people around us. For them, it's a calling. We all have the power to breathe life into others. Interestingly, we'll even find that in the times we feel most lifeless ourselves, lifting others up is what puts wind back into our own sails. As Simon tells us, encouragement is “oxygen for the soul.”[23:07] - Moments Matter When they Change BehaviorA life-changing moment must be allowed to change your lifeAfter a lifetime of emotional distance, Simon's father shared his love for Simon only on his death bed. Rather than just a special moment, Simon allowed this to become transformative. He told himself that among his brothers, his children, and everyone in his life, he would always share how he felt about them and never let a moment pass him by. [28:06] - Ignite the Power of WomenFrom marginalized to empoweredAs Simon shares, “If we get it right with women, ensuring that they're not marginalized, I become a better human being because I do right by women in my life.”That's why he wrote Ignite the Power of Women, a book and movement about unlocking the potential of women in your life— and your own ultimate potential as a result.[32:22] - Lessons from the Disney InstituteLearning from a global leader in leadershipWhat are Simon's top lessons from the Disney Institute? Number one: hire for attitude, train for success. Skills can be trained, but great attitudes are rare. Second: Customer service is a department, but customer love is a mindset. Disney understands they're not in the theme park business, they're in the business of creating magical moments for customers. You can't do that unless you feel love. After all, studies show that every buying decision is, on average, 70% emotional and only 30% rational.[38:18] - Knowing When It's Time for ReinventionHow do you read the signs that a change is in the cards?Simon has reinvented himself five times over twenty years. How do you know you're ready for a reinvention? Simon tells us that you have to read the tea leaves— that means keeping track of the changes in the world and how they'll affect your future. Are you in a future-proof field, or one on its way out? But it's not just about strategy. You also have to make sure your heart and head are onboard before your hands take action. Are you doing what you want to be doing deep down? If not, it may be reinvention time.RESOURCES:[0:57] Simon's Author Page[1:23] About the Disney Institute[12:02] Living a Life that Matters, by Harold S.

Welcome to another engaging and informative episode of Data Gurus! Today, Sima is happy to have Wes Michael, the Founder and President of Rare Patient Voice, joining her! Wes founded Rare Patient Voice in 2013 to give patients and caregivers with rare diseases the opportunity to voice their opinions in research studies. In this episode, he explains what prompted him to start Rare Patient Voice. He also talks about how he has grown the business and what they do. Wes's story After graduating, Wes worked for a computer consulting company that did surveys. Then he returned to school to get an MBA and learn about statistics. After that, he worked at General Mills for a few years and learned about market research. He then moved to McCormick, a spice company in Maryland. A big change There was a change in the healthcare world in the nineties when direct-to-consumer ads were made legal. Wes moved into that world when he joined Kantar Health (then known as Migliara/Kaplan). He dealt with companies like Merck, Pfizer, and BMS, which knew everything about marketing to physicians but nothing about TV advertising to mass markets. Wes found it interesting to see those companies move from doing physician research only to doing patient research. Rare diseases One of Wes's first clients was one of the few thousand people in the entire country in the hemophilia space. That company asked Wes to create a panel to help market their hemophiliac treatment product. The National Hemophilia Foundation Conference  Wes went to the National Hemophilia Foundation conference and explained market research. People signed up to do interviews and surveys. After that, they went back every year to recruit more people. A business idea  A few years later, a client from a different pharmaceutical company in the hemophilia space asked Wes if they could access his patient panel. That gave Wes the idea to create a panel of people with hemophilia and other diseases and start a business to make it available to multiple companies. Rare Patient Voice  When Wes founded his Company, Rare Patient Voice, nine years ago, he started working with the hemophiliac community. He looked at other areas of interest, like multiple sclerosis, later. Referral bonus Patients know other patients. So Wes started offering a referral bonus to people who referred others to do his surveys. Cancer patients Wes did not want to work with cancer patients initially. However, after being inundated with requests from cancer patients, he started working together with David Wasilewski, the creator of WhatNext.com, the social health website of the American Cancer Society. It was a win-win situation for both of them, and it got Wes started with multiple diseases. Hiring more people As the demand increased, Wes hired more people. Then an MS patient from Colorado offered to help and started creating patient events in Colorado. After a while, Wes had fifty people from around the country going to patient events and spreading the word. That eventually became a source of full-time employees. Advocacy groups Many advocacy groups have partnered with Rare Patient Voice. Competition They are competitive and like to win. Even so, Wes likes to think that there are no losers. Some of their competitors are also their clients because even though they have panels, they still don't have enough to achieve what Rare Patient Voice has done. Patients With every survey, patients get the chance to give some feedback. Wes loves to read out their comments in their monthly meetings. Referral pay-outs Since its inception, Rare Patient Voice has paid more than $9,000,000 for referrals! Other research firms Most of the work Rare Patient Voice does is with other research firms. They are also happy to deal directly with pharma companies, but those companies usually prefer to have a firewall between themselves and the patients.

In the winter of 2022, I had the pleasure of visiting Roam Ranch to attend a Bison Harvest. On that day, I met Taylor and Katie, and quickly became intrigued by their story of what brought them to Fredericksburg, Texas, to start (of all things) a Bison Ranch. The story begins with Taylor and Katie competing as competitive vegan endurance athletes and evolves from there. Within a short period, Taylor and Katie ran into serious health concerns and, based on a recommendation from a doctor, started eating meat. Their health troubles quickly went away, but new problems presented themselves. The couple had grown so aligned with their vegan identity they had started a successful vegan food company. If their community heard the news of them switching to eating meat, they'd be crushed. Taylor and Katie knew what they needed to do and the rest, as they say, is history.Here's what we covered in this episode:Converting from a vegan to an animal-based dietDeciding to sell to General Mills and start Force of NatureCreating a food system for optimal human and planet healthBuilding a legacy of land stewardship by sharing the message of regenerative agricultureLaunching his new podcast at Force of Nature called “Where Hope Grows”SPONSORS:Optimal Carnivore: Use the code "MEATMAFIA" to save 10% on all productsLiver is hard to come by and the quality, taste, and convenience make it challenging for most people to source properly.

Imagine a healthy ecosystem where there's everything from your livestock, to the ground-nesting birds to the field mice, the snakes, the insects, and the life within the soil. With regenerative agriculture, it serves all those communities in a way that creates a net positive return. But what is regenerative agriculture and how does it positively impact our health and the environment?  In today's episode, we welcome Taylor Collins, co-founder of Epic Provisions, the world's first 100% grass-fed meat, fruit, and nut bar. About a year after Taylor, and his wife, sold Epic Provisions to General Mills in 2016, they purchased Roam Ranch, a 900-acre land in central Texas. There they continually raise their 100% grass-fed livestock – in an environment where animals have the ability to roam freely.  Taylor explains how they bought the land at its worst condition and used animal impact to restore and return it to its previous biological potential – a clear testament of Mother Nature's capacity for forgiveness, which is greater than our own species' capacity for destruction. Taylor and Katie are also active in helping grow regenerative supply chains at their new parent company Force of Nature. Today, we talk about regenerative agriculture and our hope for the future of this planet because of regenerative agriculture, and because of the work of people like Taylor and his wife, Katie.  In this episode, you will hear: The benefits of regenerative agriculture and what the system looks like The time and work it took to build Roam Ranch The connection between our own health and the health of the land The consistent reuse of soil in regenerative agriculture practice The principles of regenerative agriculture Why there's no such thing as plant-based regenerative systems Why becoming vegan is the worst thing you can do if you really care about animals Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

Could you name the major conglomerates of consumer products? Truth is you've probably purchased something from them (i.e. Kellogg's, General Mills, Johnson & Johnson) recently. Those products are controlled by a powerful few. Maggi Xu wants to change that. She founded GMGN, which is short for “good morning, good night”, to launch 100 consumer packaged goods (CPGs) and give consumers more control. This new way of developing CPGs develops brand products through community-led decisions. The GMGN team believes the future of consumer products is moving away from conglomerate-owned into decentralization, where NFTs give the community ownership over the brand. Listen to the full conversation about how consumer-led business is changing the way for consumer goods. Maggie Xu is the co-founder of GMGN, an organization on mission to develop 100 community-built consumer goods.  ResourcesTo learn more about Fame Lady Squad and our NFT project, visit our website.

Carter Myers Automotive has been around for 98 years, meaning they lived through the Spanish Flu of 1918.Liza Borches hasn't seen all of that, but as the 3rd generation President and CEO of CMA, she knows the stories of the company. She knows the joys and the pains. And she has led the organization through growth and culture shift, overcoming her own ideas about retail auto and even some misogyny from those in her organization. Michael Cirillo, Paul J Daly, and Kyle Mountsier ask her about an opportunity at General Mills, Honda's 3 Joys, and why groups are asking CMA to acquire them.What we talk about in this episode:0:00 Intro with Michael Cirillo, Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier.7:59 Coming out of college, Liza didn't want to work for the family business. She took a job with American Honda because it sounded like fun to live in Southern California. But that job showed her a whole new side of retail automotive.“I started really seeing the difference that those leaders and dealership associates were making in their communities, I saw a different side of the business than I had grown up with. I grew up just seeing my dad working 24/7 some challenging times with our business almost going under a lot of stress and to be honest, he just wasn't around. So I just needed to see a different perspective on the business. And then I got to come home and see it through the lens that my dad was able to share with me more as an adult than versus when I was a kid.”14:04 For Carter Myers Automotive, company culture is about influencing the whole person, not just that person at work.“Tom Doll shared at the Subaru meeting a couple of weeks ago, and he said, ''We don't just want to be good business people. We want to be good people in business.” And I think at CMA, that's something that we've always focused on. We don't want to just create and pour into and invest in our team to be good business people. We also want to help them be good people in business. And I think that reflects back to encouraging our team to bring their whole self to work, not just their work self, and how do we help them grow both personally and professionally, that it has to be investing in them as a human being and not just an as an a team member of CMA.”19:43 Liza's grandfather gave the company its fiscal responsibility, her father gave it an aggressive growth desire, and Liza herself brought the company its soul. She learned how to build a great culture at a single store and then began scaling it to the other stores in the group with the help of some amazing general managers.27:15 Michael Cirillo makes an observation that in some ways, the automotive industry is really one big family business. Liza adds to that by talking about the fear of failing in a family business, but how, if you aren't afraid to be yourself and bring your own ideas to the table, you can add a whole new perspective.⭐️ Love the podcast?

As marketers, we cannot be short-order cooks just serving up dishes, but chefs who figure out what the consumer wants and create a meal.   Kymm Bartlett Martinez is the Chief Marketing Officer at the American Cancer Society.

A fruity roller coaster ride today! We'll start off with the pretty decent new (but late) release of L.O.L. Surprise from General Mills. Then, a pretty gross bubble gum flavored Dollar Tree find from Golden Foods. After that, we'll crash and burn with a listener supplied bag of awful Keto crap.

Consumers are eating exactly what they're told, how they're told, where they're told, not asking questions and just showing up to the register, voting and supporting a system that actually is continuing to ensure and perpetuate that they will eat unhealthy food. We're going to do our part at Roam Ranch and Force of Nature which is to fix the broken food system but we need help. - Robby Sansom + Taylor Collins Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Use code "JOSH" for 10% off your first order Force of Nature is on a mission to improve our environment and health through regenerative agriculture while answering the community's call for food raised in a way that truly aligns with their values. The term “regenerative” means that the agriculture systems in which this food was raised honor the systems within Mother Nature. We care for the soil, respect diversity in plants and animals on the land, and focus on natural outcomes versus synthetic inputs. That means no tilling, no synthetic chemicals, no hormones or antibiotics, and beautiful, wide-open spaces. The result is what you expect. Disrupting the Big Food Industry We spent the last decade studying regenerative agriculture at ranches all over the world before we answered the community's call to launch Force of Nature. Never before has a company founded on the principles of regenerative agriculture, curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Our mission is to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network, to justify our supplier partners' efforts on the land, and to offer consumers the awareness and the ability to vote for a system that aligns with their values. By reclaiming the legacy of meat, we will benefit all stakeholders of the planet and restore regenerative principles to their rightful place as the keystone to our agricultural system. Regenerative Farming is Better Meat that is more delicious and nutritious than anything else you can buy, including organic and traditional grass fed. Animals that are raised with honor in their respected natural environments, eating foods they are supposed to eat. A quality of life for ranchers and their communities that has been lacking for decades in the conventional system. A proven solution to our climate challenges with the power to sequester carbon and prevent many of the environmental disasters we face today.

Power Quotes From The Show Omnivorous Truth: Starving with Our Bellings Full "As a culture, as a species, we are starving with our bellies full. We are seeing plummeting fertility rates, chronic diseases, obesity, and children are dying. That is why we should all be caring and having this conversation that looks directly back at our food and the land on which everything is dependent upon." - Taylor Collins Revealing Food Industry Lies "Big Food, Big Agriculture, Big Oil, Big Chemical, and Big Pharma are all tied together in our food system and they support the left side party, the right side party, and all that flow of money says, 'Don't mess up this machine.' If you look at what's going on with social media and the internet as they try to censor conversations, we need consumers to break out of their mold and become independent thinkers to stop allowing themselves to perpetuate the myths and the lies that they have been fed for years and to look at what's really happening in the food industry. A value meal at Chic-fil-A is more expensive than buying regenerative protein and whole vegetables to make a meal together as a family." - Robby Sansom Healing with Regenerative Ranching "If my wife was still vegan today she would either be dead or in a wheelchair. We ditched the vegan diet and began to eat in an evolutionary consistent manner. Within days, years of symptoms we had just went away." - Taylor Collins Links From Today's Show  Taylor Collins Robby Sansom Where Hope Grows Podcast EPIC Provisions: How This Husband + Wife Went From Being Vegan To Starting A Meat-Based Snack Brand These Founders Sold Their Food Company for a Reported $100 Million.

Started by first generation farmers, Katie and Taylor's journey into ranching was based on a vision to positively impact large-scale agriculture through producing nourishing food that improves the lives of animals, enriches the health of consumers, and regenerates the land on which we depend. Like much of the world, this once-fertile region has been industrially farmed for the past 100 years. Through persistent tilling of soil, planting of monoculture row crops, and overgrazing, ROAM Ranch was not capable of producing food upon its purchase. Land in this condition is often deemed "unsalvageable" and in many circumstances further degenerates with rest- but we are going to prove otherwise. Force of Nature Meats partners with regenerative ranchers to bring you the best meat on the planet, for the planet.  With the intention to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network. Never before has a company founded in the principles of regenerative agriculture curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Force of Nature now exists to give consumers the ability to vote for environmental regeneration by consuming meat that is actually good for the planet.
