"I just believe we were put here for a purpose." – Don Lupo   This week's guest is Don Lupo, an advocate for the homeless and others in need. Twenty-three years ago, Lupo left a career as a successful businessman to start a new career in service to his community, the city of Birmingham, AL. In 2016, he was awarded the FBI Director's Community Leadership Award and was named one of the "Top 50 Over 50" in the state of Alabama; in 2018 he was awarded the Civilian Service Award by the Birmingham Police Department.    One of the defining moments of Lupo's life was the passing of his mother when he was 16 years old. He explains how her unconditional love for him as well as her commitment to being of service to others have inspired him throughout his life. Another defining moment was reading some words on the back of an envelope that exhorted him to "love your neighbor, feed the hungry, clothe any that are naked." This message was a "slap in the face," he says, prompting him to find a way to help others. He now includes these words in his social media posts. Lupo, who directs the Mayor's Office of Citizens' Assistance, says that he doesn't see his job as work, but as a way he can be of service to others.    Lupo has certainly found ways to serve and has done a lot of work serving the homeless in the city of Birmingham. He is proud to say that almost every homeless person in the city is known by name, and if he doesn't know theirs, they know his. As a board member for Firehouse Ministries, a homeless shelter and outreach agency, he worked on raising funds for a new facility. Despite the odds, they raised $7 million in six months. Lupo believes in the vital importance of the work of Firehouse, saying that we are all "just one step" away from being homeless and that if he ever needed somewhere to go, he knows he could go there.    In a profile in Good Grit Magazine, Lupo was called "the man to call when you need to get something done—especially connecting those in need with available resources."  Lupo stresses that he could never have accomplished all he has without the help of others. In one example he shares that after his daughter convinced him to go on Facebook and ask for the 1500 toothbrushes the shelter needed, he was offered way more than he needed. All he had to do was ask.    In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you'll also learn: What happened when Don Lupo met the Dalai Lama  What he thinks would help address the problem of homelessness  What he thought as he stood next to the mayor when they went to talk to protestors over a statue How his faith and belief in service has motivated him throughout his life   Connect With Don Lupo Facebook    The 2023 Do Nothing Retreat is open for registration (7 spots remaining)   Join us from October 8-12 for The Do Nothing Retreat,  a mindfulness meditation retreat suitable for meditators at all levels The retreat will enable you to cultivate a deeper mindfulness practice while in a peaceful and rejuvenating mountain location.

There is no question that Mary Alayne Long (@thealabamahousewife) is a "Southerner" through and through. After hearing her read at an Emerald Coast Storytellers gathering, I knew I had to meet her. After all, true Southerners can spot each other a mile away. Born and raised in Heflin, Alabama, Mary Alayne married in her early twenties and began raising her two wonderful children. Along the way, she nurtured a love for writing, which led to writing for Good Grit Magazine. Anyone who encounters this genuine Southern Belle will quickly discover her captivating humor, wrapped tightly in an engaging personality that captures the essence of "Southern Hospitality." Mary Alayne Long is the obvious choice for any U.S. President to name an Ambassador for the South. I sat down with Mary Alayne at SOWAL House, a creative studio in the heart of Rosemary Beach, FL, to discuss our shared admiration for all things Southern and her plans to launch a magazine highlighting her absolute favorite region, the Southeast United States.

Laura's passion for storytelling is only rivaled by her commitment to inspire women in finding freedom from their mess by sharing her own messy story. She believes freedom comes from a strong community, deeply held personal values, and creating and implementing healthy boundaries. She believes in always having an extra seat at her table- and living the kind of life she is calling people into.Bio:Laura Quick was born a storyteller. While she's been weaving stories and telling tales since her earliest memories, her true passion lies in helping others tell their story. She's able to do that so well thanks to her tenacious personality, wealth of knowledge, and, perhaps most importantly, her willingness to first listen to others. Before she stepped into the lead role as head storyteller at Good Grit Agency, she was an international sales and marketing manager for a large corporation and launched Good Grit Magazine- known for telling stories to inspire the human spirit to persevere.  Laura loves her husband Shane, their two boys Clay and Ethan, and is obsessed with Bear and Linnie Mae her two Bernedoodles. Her passion for storytelling is only rivaled by her commitment to inspire women to find freedom from their mess by sharing her own messy story. She believes freedom comes from a strong community, deeply held personal values, and creating and implementing healthy boundaries. She believes in always having an extra seat at her table- and living the kind of life she is calling people into. Her mission, while she is here on earth, is to free as many children from poverty mindset- as she believes that is what freed her to live a big, audacious, and full life. HostSK VaughnLatest Update: A Panel DiscussionMarch 28th from 7 - 8 pm CST(FREE) Zoom CallLearn More!Life is messy.

New episode “Art Life Stories” podcast! Erin Austen Abbott is a woman of many talents: a photographer, writer, content creator, curator, & interior designer!We discuss:

Ashley Locke is the managing editor at Good Grit Magazine. Starting as a staff writer, her work for the publication has deepened her love for cooking and uncovering the stories behind restauranteurs who've fought their way from nothing to being world-renowned in their field. Learning the series of challenges behind the dishes has made her more in tune with what it actually takes to make a living as a chef, recipe maker, cookbook writer, etc. I talked with her mid-October of 2020, starting the conversation initially about the process of recipe making, but we also delved into tips on how to keep your home kitchen more prepared for cooking on a whim. We talked about food waste and food scarcity in places surrounded by farms. We also talked about the long road to completing her passion project: Cooking Every Country.

Laura Quick and her husband Shane join Deanna in this episode. Laura recently asked her Facebook followers how they are fighting for their marriage while in quarantine, which inspired Deanna to invite the couple onto the podcast. Laura is the CEO of Good Grit Magazine which is based in Birmingham, while Shane is an artist manager and promoter. There are some tools that Laura and Shane are using to navigate through these tough times. Some of these tools they learned before they got married when each of them went to Onsite.  Shane shares with us about why he was scared to enter a marriage with Laura. The two have weekly meetings with each other but have increased the frequency of these during the pandemic. Everything is changing daily, but Laura and Shane talk about how the negativity that television news portrays causes them to avoid it. Laura reveals a worrisome thing that came up in one of the couple’s meetings and then proceeds to discuss the importance of maintaining a date night. They provide some tips on how to do this even if you’ve got kids at home. Are you fighting for your marriage?   Laura gets into how she has realized that saying what’s on her mind instead of nagging allows Shane to show up for her. It’s important to remember that our spouses can’t read our minds and accept that you both won’t agree about everything. Marriages need to be fought for not just during quarantine, but in our daily lives. Laura and Shane admit that they are certainly not experts, but they work hard to do whatever it takes to have a healthy marriage.

On this episode of Making Elephants Fly, Terry sits with Laura Quick. Laura grew up in a small town just outside of Savannah, Georgia. She attended college at Florida State University where she discovered her passion for people. With this knowledge, she pursued a fruitful career in sales and marketing for nearly 10 years, finishing her career as an international sales and marketing director before deciding to scratch the entrepreneurship itch. Laura started her first business in 2013 in Mountain Brook, Alabama, as a business consultant specializing in business development strategy. She has always been a woman in business who doesn’t mind standing in the gaps and teaching others to do the same. So, when she read an article in The New York Times in June of 2014 written about the South, she saw a big gap in the Southern Magazine industry. She went to work building a business plan for what is now known as Good Grit Magazine. Laura has grown accustomed to hearing, “the magazine industry is dying,” “paper is going away,” and “digital is taking over,” but that just isn’t true when it comes to Good Grit. Laura believes that people are hungry for gritty and relatable content that fills the gap in the magazine industry for authentic inspiration. Since Good Grit’s inaugural issue in July of 2015, the Good Grit team has produced 23 issues, grown to over 300,000 readers, and they are distributed in 42 states in over 2500 retailers. She firmly believes that the print industry is in fact very much alive and well, especially when you have a firm understanding of WHY your brand exists and who your audience is.  Join Laura and Terry as they talk about everything from starting a magazine with magazines are shutting down, telling stories that get attention, and leading with GRIT.

A story that seems unreal, over-the-top, and fit for a Lifetime movie: Held hostage in her own home for two years, threatened daily with the harm or death of her children, and forced to marry against her will, Tahiera Monique Brown was trapped by overwhelming despair and helplessness. Eventually, the realization struck that the only way to save herself and her children was through a suicide attempt that resulted in a coma, followed by temporary amnesia. Even so, Tahiera’s message isn’t one of fear, but of strength and freedom.

This week we're tackling hardship and adversity in the workplace. We've all dealt with tough times, both personally and professionally. Unfortunately, not all of us have handled those times as well as we could have. Handling hardship and adversity with skill is a necessary skillset for any business owner or manager. Truly, it can make all the difference between a healthy, nurturing workplace environment and a toxic one. Today we're talking about a couple of things that, in my experience, go wrong when times get tough and how I think we should approach them. On Friday we're talking with Caleb Chancey. Caleb is a husband, father of four (with a fifth on the way!), a skilled photographer, musician, and the Creative Director for Good Grit Magazine. Suffice it to say, the depth and breadth of Caleb's experience is huge and I'm really looking forward to sharing his insights into workplace hardship and adversity. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thedispatchncs/support

If you are an enthusiast of The Cheese and the Worms (1976), The Great Cat Massacre (1984), or The Return of Martin Guerre (1983), then Michael Wintroub‘s The Voyage of Thought: Navigating Knowledge Across the Sixteenth-Century World (Cambridge University Press, 2017) is a must read. Simply put, this is a book that will lead you down a path of wonder, and possibly, saddle you with a good head scratch. However, no one ever said that an itch near the cranium translates to feeling lousy; in this instance, what we have here is a richly researched and thought-provoking (no pun intended) piece of scholarship. Wintroub, Professor of Rhetoric at the University of California at Berkeley, is interested in how ideas that are commonplace today (like information-gathering, expertise, confidence, scale, and replication) originated over four centuries ago. This is the story of two brothers who were tasked with a monumental, trail-blazing journey from their home in Dieppe, France all the way to Sumatra. How did two humanist ship captains prepare? What did they find along the way in their search for pepper, glory, and God? Part science, part poetry, part architecture, part mind job, this book probes the notion that physical and mental spaces can be traversed if we ask the right questions. Furthermore, through a connected history that cleverly interprets a letter from an eighty-year-old sailor, snatches the magnifying glass to reconstruct events on a beach in the Indian Ocean, focuses the microscope on a frieze in France, and backs the telescope off from the inner workings of the astrolabe, in this installment of New Books in Science you are in for a tour that will enliven the senses and tug on the heart. J.N. Campbell is an independent scholar and writer in Houston, Texas. He is the co-author with Steven M. Rooney of How Aspirin Entered Our Medicine Cabinet (Springer, 2017). They have a second book entitled, Numb: A Chemical History of Opioid Epidemic, which is due out in 2018. He has written for the International Journal of the History of Sport, Reviews in History, and is a featured writer for Good Grit Magazine. After receiving an M.A. in History from the University of Kentucky, he fashions himself as a life-long student of history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

However, no one ever said that an itch near the cranium translates to feeling lousy; in this instance, what we have here is a richly researched and thought-provoking (no pun intended) piece of scholarship. Wintroub, Professor of Rhetoric at the University of California at Berkeley, is interested in how ideas that are commonplace today (like information-gathering, expertise, confidence, scale, and replication) originated over four centuries ago. This is the story of two brothers who were tasked with a monumental, trail-blazing journey from their home in Dieppe, France all the way to Sumatra. How did two humanist ship captains prepare? What did they find along the way in their search for pepper, glory, and God? Part science, part poetry, part architecture, part mind job, this book probes the notion that physical and mental spaces can be traversed if we ask the right questions. Furthermore, through a connected history that cleverly interprets a letter from an eighty-year-old sailor, snatches the magnifying glass to reconstruct events on a beach in the Indian Ocean, focuses the microscope on a frieze in France, and backs the telescope off from the inner workings of the astrolabe, in this installment of New Books in Science you are in for a tour that will enliven the senses and tug on the heart. J.N. Campbell is an independent scholar and writer in Houston, Texas. He is the co-author with Steven M. Rooney of How Aspirin Entered Our Medicine Cabinet (Springer, 2017). They have a second book entitled, Numb: A Chemical History of Opioid Epidemic, which is due out in 2018. He has written for the International Journal of the History of Sport, Reviews in History, and is a featured writer for Good Grit Magazine. After receiving an M.A. in History from the University of Kentucky, he fashions himself as a life-long student of history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What is science? A seemingly profound, yet totally ridiculous question to try and answer. Yet, when Oxford University Press reached out to the brilliant scholar of Victorian science, Iwan Rhys Morris, they were tapping the right man for the job on the shoulder. He designed, contributed, and edited The Oxford Illustrated History of Science (Oxford University Press, 2017) which was published earlier this year. He assembled an all-star team of specialists with backgrounds in a variety fields in this history of science. His simple yet complex answer to the question I just posed is: science is humanity. Without humanity, there would be no science. No Newton, no Darwin, and no Dr. Who. This book is both conventional and not, sweeping yet focused, and really fun to read as both a reference source and as a piece of world history. Join me, J.N. Campbell and for podcasts to come, my colleague Steve Rooney, as we host new segments for New Books in Science. We will ask probing questions, and of course, we hope you enjoy our rapid fire installment at the end! Here is the first installment with my guest, Iwan Morris. Enjoy! J. N.

Do you have an idea that is great but you don't have the experience for?  This is a common problem among entrepreneurs and often times keeps us from pursuing our dreams.   A few weeks ago I met Laura Bento, founder of Good Grit Magazine, and was shocked by one of her first statements.  I expected to her say that she had worked for publications for years and after proving herself had decided to start her own magazine.  Instead she told me "Prior to starting Good Grit I had never actually subscribed to a magazine before."  After a few more questions I discovered that when she conceived the idea for Good Grit she had ZERO publication experience. Prior to launching her magazine she ran a consulting company and found herself needing to learn new skills consistently.  She was able to utilize multiple opportunities to build her skill set through curiosity and the simple art of asking questions. Laura is the ultimate learner and has leverages this skill set to build Good Grit. In this Episode you will learn: You are not limited by your experience. Drama and low points make for a great life story. Fear is different than being scared. Fear prevents you from pursuing your ideas whereas being scared is something you feel WHILE pursuing your ideas. Follow Good Grit here: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter   Join our Private Facebook Group!   Welcome to the Onward Creatives Podcast.  This is the place for anyone who is dreaming of making a change in their lives, taking a leap into a new adventure, or wondering if their idea is worth pursuing.
