Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Fresh off a high-profile appearance at the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, Michael Phelps took to Instagram, sharing a handful of moments—including a selfie with golf influencer Manolo Vega—and dropped a succinct two-word post expressing his excitement for the event. He's still a sporting fan favorite after all these years, and his presence at the Ryder Cup drew a number of headlines and plenty of social media engagement. Phelps, now a familiar face on the golf circuit, has been spotted at various elite tournaments this year from the 8 AM Golf Invitational to the Ryder Cup, giving fans glimpses into his post-swimming passions and expanding his cross-sport celebrity appeal. His affinity for golf has become a frequent topic in both interviews and posts, and earlier this year with Golf.com he reminisced about legendary matches with Michael Jordan, lauding the basketball icon for his relentless competitiveness—the kind of elite-athlete camaraderie that keeps Phelps in the limelight.On the business and advocacy front, Phelps is gearing up as a keynote speaker for major summits. Most notably, he'll headline at the Power Platform Community Conference 2025 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where his message is expected to draw record-breaking crowds; organizers are touting his session as a highlight among an all-star speaker lineup with Christina Aguilera as the attendee party headliner. Meanwhile, the national business stage beckons, as both Fox Business and Goldman Sachs have confirmed Phelps will take a prominent slot at the upcoming Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Summit in Washington at the end of October. He'll join the likes of David Solomon and Michael Bloomberg in what is being positioned as the largest convening of small business owners in U.S. history. The agenda includes AI, workforce competitiveness, and access to capital—reflecting Phelps's evolving brand as not just an athletic icon but also a mental health and entrepreneurship advocate.Philanthropically, Phelps continues to push forward the work of the Michael Phelps Foundation, focusing on water safety, mental health, and helping kids build confidence inside and outside the pool. His programs, such as the IM Program developed with Kidshealth.org, have an ongoing and measurable impact, strengthening the long-term narrative of Phelps as a figure dedicated to public good as much as personal achievement.Personal news recently brought a somber moment as Phelps publicly mourned former Olympic massage therapist Brian Campbell, whose passing was noted on Instagram with a heartfelt tribute reflecting on their two-decade relationship. The swimming community echoed Phelps's sentiments, underlining how deeply these relationships matter in elite sports circles.On social media, Phelps continues to trend—Threads users, for instance, invoked his legendary genetic advantages in swimming in current discussions about fairness in elite sports, a testament to how his legacy still shapes public debate. No confirmed controversies or major speculation have surfaced in the past week; the coverage has been uniformly positive, with a steady drumbeat of admiration and respect for Phelps's post-swimming transition, expanding influence, and enduring public impact.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode, we give focus to the SFPE Foundation – a catalyst transforming how fire engineering research is funded, conducted, and shared globally. In this conversation with Leslie Marshall, Interim Executive Director of the SFPE Foundation, we discover how a relatively small organization has distributed over $1.2 million in grants, scholarships, and research funding since 2021. While the Foundation has existed since 1979, its recent expansion with dedicated staff has accelerated its impact across the fire engineering community worldwide.Leslie reveals the Foundation's unique position in the fire safety ecosystem – while SFPE maintains the gold standard for current practice, the Foundation focuses on emerging topics and future challenges. This forward-looking approach has funded groundbreaking work, such as, in my opinion, landmark David Morissette's research on furniture fire variability, which began with a modest $5,000 student grant but yielded findings that challenge fundamental assumptions in fire modeling.The conversation explores the Foundation's flagship Grand Challenges Initiative, a 10-year collaborative effort addressing four critical areas: energy and infrastructure, resilience and sustainability, climate change, and digitalization/AI/cybersecurity. With over 40 industry and academic partners worldwide, this initiative exemplifies how bringing diverse perspectives together can tackle complex problems that no single entity could solve alone.For researchers, students, and professionals looking to give back to the fire safety community, Leslie outlines multiple pathways for involvement – from financial contributions to volunteering on advisory panels or working groups. The Foundation's commitment to open access ensures all research findings are freely available, maximizing their impact across the field.You can learn more about the foundation on its website here.Additional resources can be found here:The 2026 WUI Summit: https://www.sfpe.org/2026wuisummit/homeThe WUI Handbook: https://www.sfpe.org/wuihandbook/homeGrand Challenges Initiative website: https://www.sfpe.org/gci/home----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

It's not just about hearing a voice; it's about understanding the message and embracing the change it brings. The Power of Unexpected Encounters Sometimes, God spoke to me through another person, and it was in these moments that I found the guidance I needed. These encounters often come when we least expect them, offering a new perspective on our journey. It's amazing how a simple conversation can lead to a Personal Transformation. Listening to the Inner Voice There are times when God spoke to me in my head, providing comfort and direction. This inner voice can be a powerful tool for change, helping us navigate life's challenges. By tuning in, we can discover a path to Personal Transformation that aligns with our true purpose. Embracing Change and Growth Every time God spoke to me through a stranger, it was a reminder that growth often comes from unexpected places. For Ken Miller, God spoke to him as he started his third jail sentence. These moments of connection can inspire us to embrace change and pursue a life of meaning and fulfilment. It's about recognising the signs and taking action towards a Personal Transformation. In conclusion, the journey of Personal Transformation is deeply personal and unique to each individual. Whether God spoke to me through another person or God spoke to me in my head, these experiences have been pivotal in shaping my path. Embrace these moments, and let them guide you towards a life of purpose and fulfilment.

Have you ever looked at someone who's done something so extraordinary that you thought, “I could never do that”? What if you could, and it simply meant changing the way you think?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with Joe Gagnon, a man who has proven that what seems impossible is often just the beginning. At age 39, Joe was not an athlete. But he decided to make a change. That choice led him to run six marathons in six days on six continents, complete multiple Ironman races, and even finish the grueling Badwater 135 ultra-marathon across Death Valley.Joe shares how he reframed challenges, leaned into discomfort, and discovered the power of living with intention. His story is proof that it's never too late to start fresh, to rewrite your narrative, and to push past self-imposed limits.If you've ever felt stuck, too old to start, or overwhelmed by the thought of change, Joe's wisdom will encourage you to take one intentional step at a time toward the extraordinary life God designed for you.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:15] Topic and Guest Introduction[03:32] Introduction to Joe Gagnon and His Journey[06:36] The Breakout: From Average to Athlete[08:18] The Marathon Challenge: Six Marathons in Six Days[11:30] Why Self-Care Must Come First[14:24] The Power of Mindset in Pushing Limits[18:22] Finding Your Why: The Importance of Purpose[23:32] The Five Pillars of a High-Performance Life[27:58] Embracing Discomfort and Reframing Life's Challenges[28:40] The Journey to Plant-Based Living[31:47] Understanding Personal Choices and Their Impact[36:00] Taking the First Step Towards Change[38:03] Building a Success Plan and Celebrating Progress[41:17] Curiosity and Lifelong Learning[43:41] Where to Find Joe's Book Living Intentionally[45:17] Fun Family Traditions & Giving Back[47:08] Final Thoughts and ResourcesResources mentioned:Book: Living Intentionally by Joe GagnonEmail: jgagnon232@gmail.comDaily Blog: joecurious.substack.comWebsite: thehighperformancelife.netInstagram: @thehighperformancelifeLinkedIn: Joe Gagnon on LinkedInVisibly Fit 7-Week Accelerator ProgramConnect with today's guest:Joe Gagnon is a CEO, high-performance coach, endurance athlete, and author of Living Intentionally.

Unlock Your Potential: The Keys to Financial Freedom & Inspiring Others!

In a world where community needs are ever-growing and resources often stretched thin, the annual Community Connect & Serve event in Winchester, Virginia, stands as a beacon of hope and collaboration. In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael gathered with a dynamic group of organizers and participants to pull back the curtain on this unique event, revealing how it's reshaping the way nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and everyday citizens come together to serve. The conversation, recorded in the midst of a committee meeting at Winchester's CCAP, was lively and candid. Janet was joined by Andrea Cosans and Lily Paccadolmis both from Winchester CCAP, Shannon Atkinson-Ganoe, Andy Gail from United Way NSV, Melinda Topham from JustServe.org, and Bishop BJ Custer from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - each representing a different facet of the community's volunteer ecosystem. The group traced the event's origins to a simple desire: to create a “one-stop shop” for volunteers and nonprofits to connect, collaborate, and address local needs more effectively. What began as a networking session has blossomed into a three-part gathering: a nonprofit collaboration forum, showcase of available resources for the faith-based community, and a public volunteer fair. Bishop Custer shared how the event opened his eyes to the wealth of organizations ready to help, and how it inspired his congregation's youth to get involved in everything from stocking shelves to making teddy bears for local charities. The panel emphasized that the event is open to all—parents, students, retirees, and anyone looking to give back. Whether you're a “one-and-done” volunteer or someone seeking a long-term commitment, there's a place for you. The discussion also delved into the practical impact of volunteering. Lily, CCAP's operations manager, highlighted how volunteers are the backbone of their organization, contributing hours equivalent to 10 or 11 full-time staff. The dollar value of these hours is staggering, but the real value lies in the relationships built and the sense of purpose volunteers gain. Melinda and Andrea reflected on how the event has sparked new collaborations, support groups, and even “group therapy” sessions for nonprofit leaders facing similar challenges. Perhaps most inspiring were the personal stories: youth discovering the joy of service, community service workers returning as core volunteers, and families finding new ways to bond while helping others. The event's ripple effect is evident in the formation of new leadership groups and the strengthening of ties between organizations that might otherwise operate in silos. As the episode wrapped up, the group encouraged listeners to attend the upcoming event, emphasizing its open-door policy and the wealth of opportunities available. For those unable to attend, platforms like JustServe.org offer ongoing ways to get involved. The message was clear: in Winchester, service isn't just an obligation—it's a source of pride, connection, and lasting change. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or just curious about giving back, Community Connect & Serve offers a powerful reminder that when a community comes together, everyone benefits.

Philanthropy can change the way we think about business when it's treated as part of the culture rather than an afterthought. How does a company grow stronger when it gives back to the community that supports it? And how can service outside of work shape the kind of leader someone becomes?   Sarah Lockwood talks with Brianna Borin, Chief Operating Officer of Snooze A.M. Eatery, about the lessons she has learned from nearly two decades of weaving community impact into her work. Brianna shares how Snooze's early days of volunteering at the Denver Rescue Mission set the tone for a company-wide approach that now includes programs like the Changemaker initiative and long-term partnerships with organizations such as Urban Peak. She also reflects on her own leadership development through board service, youth mentorship, and global volunteer experiences that have deepened her sense of personal satisfaction and purpose.   Listeners can learn more about supporting youth experiencing homelessness through Urban Peak's Urban Nights Kicks & Culture Sneaker Ball at urbanpeak.org/urban-nights. Brianna also recommends Tommy Spaulding's books, The Heart-Led Leader and The Gift of Influence, which have shaped her vision of philanthropy and leadership. Her story and these resources show how integrating service into business not only builds stronger communities but also creates deeper fulfillment for leaders and their teams.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Philanthropy and Service as a Business Value 02:03 Brianna Borin's Journey with Snooze A.M.

One of the themes that often comes up on the show is giving back to the community. Today I wanted to highlight two guests who instantly come to mind when talking about giving back—the incredible heart surgeon, Sir Magdi Yacoub and META's Regional Director, Fares Akkad.  This episode is part of our new segment, Double-Take, where I take a deep-dive into a single topic and connect the dots between some of our best conversations. When I spoke to Fares in late 2023, he had just come back from visiting the Za'atari Refugee Camp, where Meta has established a digital literacy program. And while Professor Yacoub already had a distinguished career as a cardiothoracic surgeon, he's leaving behind an even bigger legacy through his charity, Chain of Hope, building long-term impact on the lives of the children in developing communities.
