In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, Duncan Kane, Senior Vice President at Toshiba America, shares insights from nearly two decades of working at the intersection of industry and education. Drawing from his leadership in STEM outreach, Duncan explains why Toshiba sees early STEM engagement not just as a good cause—but as a strategic investment in the future of innovation and the workforce.One way Toshiba brings this vision to life is through its long-standing partnership with the National Science Teaching Association on ExploraVision, a science competition that challenges K–12 students to design technologies 20 years into the future. But as Duncan explains, the program isn't really about competition—it's about creativity, purpose, and helping students see themselves as future innovators. The conversation explores what happens when kids take ownership of real-world problems, the importance of dreaming big (with or without big budgets), and how industry can play a more active role in developing STEM talent.Listen to learn:Why students are more innovative when they don't know what's “impossible”How choosing personally meaningful problems changes how kids approach STEMWhat happens when students design technology for the year 2045Why Toshiba believes building a STEM pipeline starts in your own backyardWhat schools risk losing when STEM programs are first on the chopping block3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Students come up with more creative solutions when they haven't yet learned what's “impossible.” Duncan explains that younger students are often more willing to dream big because they haven't developed the cynicism or constraints that come with adulthood. In ExploraVision, fifth graders have proposed ideas like AI-powered glasses that interpret sign language and wearable devices to predict seizures—solutions rooted in bold thinking, not technical limitations.2. When students choose problems that matter to them, STEM learning becomes personal and powerful. Many teams in ExploraVision choose issues they've encountered firsthand, like a relative's epilepsy or local environmental concerns. That personal connection drives deeper engagement and creativity, whether it's robotic honeybees to help pollinate crops or fire-resistant materials inspired by mushrooms.3. Building a future STEM workforce doesn't require a billion-dollar initiative—it starts locally. Duncan urges companies to start in their own communities, supporting local students and educators in ways that feel personal and authentic. Toshiba's partnership with NSTA and the success of ExploraVision demonstrate how consistent, community-rooted efforts can scale to national impact—reaching 450,000 students over 33 years.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about ExploraVision, visit: exploravision.orgExploraVision partner NSTA (National Science Teaching Association): nsta.orgAdditional resources from this episodeExploraVision Winners: See details on this year's winners + previous yearsDiscover more from the We want to hear from you!

Guest: Nick Sowards   Guest Bio: ​Started cleaning machines in California at 18 years old at my grandfather's company. Graduated into selling machines at 19, then left his company at 20 to sell new machines. Left California in 2004 and joined Absolute Machine Tools, selling their imported brands. In 2015, became GM for Absolute, running their Chicago facility. 2017 needed a change in my life and left Absolute with joining Ellison Technologies in December 17, and the ride has been great thus far! I'm a sales manager for NE Ohio and a territory manager for Lake and 1/2 of Cuyahoga County. I was honored to have been the #1 salesman in Ellison for GP and units for 2023, with also getting salesperson of the year awards. Been in the top 5-10 ever since I started with Ellison in 2017. We have a great team in Ohio, so that helps!   Key Points: Early Influences and Entry into Sales · Grandfather's machine shop played a formative role. He started by cleaning machines as a kid to earn money for things his family couldn't afford. · Originally planned to become an FBI agent, but his mother recognized his strong communication skills and encouraged sales. · A pivotal moment came when he accidentally made a $10,000 sale, earned $200 commission, and realized sales were more rewarding than cleaning machines.   Motivation and Personal Drive · Grew up poor, became a young father, and was driven by the desire to support his family, including allowing his wife to stay home. · Has seven daughters, now expecting three grandchildren, further reinforcing his motivation to succeed financially and professionally.   Leadership and Management Style · Leads a tight-knit sales team of three, focusing on trust, open communication, and family-like support. Believes success is shared: if his team does well, he does well. · Encourages open access; his team can call him anytime, for work or personal matters.   Hiring Philosophy · Looks for motivation (expensive hobbies, family responsibilities) and coachability. · Avoids hiring “negative” people; prioritizes positive, adaptable personalities. · Uses personality assessments and informal settings (like lunch) to gauge candidates more authentically. Watches for signs of intrinsic drive, not just skill.   Building Trust with New Hires · Leads by example: gave a full commission on a deal made the day before a new rep joined, demonstrating generosity and fairness. · Builds trust through action, not just words, follows through, supports his team, and solves problems directly or connects them with the right resources.   Sales Philosophy · Be honest and transparent: admit when you don't know something, but always get the correct answers. · Never be a “yes man”, integrity builds long-term relationships. · Success is based on persistence, teamwork, and customer focus.   Guest Links: Cell: 216-347-9566 Email: nsowards@ellisontechnologies.com Connect on LinkedIn     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

In this episode of Discover Lafayette, we shine a light on a unique community tucked away in South Louisiana: veterans who find healing, camaraderie, and fun on the ice rink. Our guests, Eric Iorio and Danielle ("Dani") Francis, share their inspiring journeys from military service to building a new mission at home — through Acadiana Veterans Hockey. “I was born here in Lafayette, Louisiana. Graduated from Teurlings back in 2008, which seems like forever ago,” Eric begins. After joining the 101st Airborne in 2013 and deploying to Afghanistan, he recounts how life changed on July 28, 2013, when his base came under attack and he took two rounds from a sniper. “I always say it could have been a lot worse. I have all my digits,” he says humbly, remembering the buddy he lost that day. Eric was the recipient of the Purple Heart in honor of his service to our country and sustaining injuries due to enemy action. For Dani, the path started in Illinois. “I actually went into the military right out of high school. I did a bunch of sports in high school and then didn't know what I wanted to do,” she shares. Inspired by her older brother, she became a military police officer, serving in Guantanamo Bay and later alongside Joint Special Operations Command in Iraq where she was one of four females selected. “It was truly incredible because it was the sense of I was actually doing something with a purpose. There was a bigger purpose at the end of that mission.” Both Eric and Dani's stories highlight the resilience and discipline they built in uniform — and how they carried that into civilian life. Now, they channel that same spirit into Acadiana Veterans Hockey — an open-arms, non-contact league for veterans of all ages and skill levels. “For us as an organization, being able to play hockey together is absolutely amazing, for physical reasons and mental health,” Eric explains. “If they didn't have hockey here… they don't know where they would be at this point.” Dani laughs about how she was pulled onto the ice by Courtney Dugas, who along with her husband, Max, are active with the team: “I said, Courtney, I've never played hockey before. She goes, it's okay, come on out. Next thing I knew, I was meeting her and the team at the rink on a Tuesday night and they were giving me all the gear.” Eric also recounted how fun it is to play with his dad, Angelo ("Pops") Iorio, who is retired from the Lafayette Police Department. "He is known as a Goon, someone that is like an enforcer. They go out and hit people on the ice. He's not meaning to do it. He just can't stop. So he uses other people to stop for him. We'll have to let the other teams know, hey, he didn't mean that, you know? It's just he's learning." More than just a game, Acadiana Veterans Hockey is a lifeline. The group connects veterans to resources, benefits, and — most importantly — each other. They help with VA ratings, build wheelchair ramps for local VFWs, and make sure no one feels alone. “We want everyone to feel included… call us at two, three in the morning if you're having something wrong and someone's going to be there,” says Eric. But ice time and equipment aren't free. The team welcomes local support — whether you can sponsor a practice, donate gear, or come cheer them on at their next scrimmage. “Hockey is very expensive, from just the ice alone to the gear involved,” Dani points out. “Any donation or sponsorship truly helps.” Save the Date:

Welcome to the Personal Development Trailblazers Podcast! In today's episode, we'll help college graduates feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and under pressure to have it all figured out.Evan started out chasing his dream in music—playing trumpet since he was a kid and eventually landing a job at a major label in NYC. But as the industry shifted, so did he. He pivoted into advertising, hoping to find purpose, but ended up job-hopping, burned out, and chasing titles that never quite felt right.After moving back home to Raleigh and getting laid off again, Evan finally asked himself: What kind of life do I actually want? What energizes me?That moment of clarity changed everything. He decided he wanted to help others build a life they don't want to escape from—because he didn't want anyone else to follow in his footsteps of chasing a version of success that wasn't truly theirs.That's what led him to create NewGrad Launchpad—a program designed to help graduates get clear, get aligned, and move forward with purpose.Connect with Evan Here: @newgradlaunchpadhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/evanssanchez/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574083707005https://newgradlaunchpadcoaching.com/Grab the freebie here: https://linktr.ee/newgradlaunchpad===================================If you enjoyed this episode, remember to hit the like button and subscribe.

Graduated with 5 job offers from the top salons in my city. 2013: Landed a job at a top salon. It felt like the start of something new. 2014: Met my husband. Married him 13 days later (yep, 13 days). 2015: We had another baby and both changed careers. Life kept evolving. 2016: Got my first real social media management client, got sober, and went viral—all in the same year. 2017: Replaced my 9-5 income, resigned, and retired my husband too. Freedom tasted good. 2018: Crossed $1,000,000 in my business and welcomed baby #3. Growth in business and family. 2019: Built a second business to $1,000,000. Turns out lightning can strike twice. 2020: Hired my dream team and scaled both businesses to 7 figures. Leadership became my new obsession. 2021: Landed a dream book deal with Hay House and gave a TEDx Talk. A surreal “pinch me” year. 2022: Hit a wall. Complete mental breakdown. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Faced my trauma, did the hard healing work, and came out stronger. 2023: Began writing fiction books with my husband - and testing out more creative marketing campaigns. Went mega-viral multiple times, too! 2024: Started our consulting company, Pelanora, and scaled some pretty cool businesses.  2025: About to be the most exciting year yet! Today, I run multiple 7-figure businesses, help entrepreneurs scale without losing their sanity, and teach marketing strategies that actually work. No gimmicks, no sleazy tactics, just authentic growth. Success isn't about having a perfect story - it's about writing your own, one messy, beautiful chapter at a time.

Has calculating your income tax rate in the past been overwhelming? Today, I'm going to discuss the complexities of income tax rates, particularly for self-employed individuals. I explain the progressive tax system, the difference between marginal and average tax rates, and provide practical tips for calculating taxes accurately. The conversation aims to demystify tax calculations and empower listeners with knowledge to manage their finances effectively. Join me in this episode to hear some tips on estimating your income tax rate and how you can avoid errors when calculating your income tax.    Also mentioned in today's episode:  00:00 Understanding Income Tax Rates 09:33 The Progressive Tax System Explained 11:58 Marginal vs. Effective Tax Rates 17:04 Calculating Your Taxes Accurately 23:20 Final Thoughts and Resources Takeaways: People confuse marginal tax rates with their actual tax rate. Income tax calculations are more complex than they seem. Self-employment tax is a flat rate of 15.3%. Estimating tax rates requires guessing due to timing. Graduated income tax means different rates apply to different income slices. Both low and high earners pay zero tax on the first $11,000. Marginal tax rates only apply to the last dollar earned. Average tax rates provide a more accurate tax estimate. Online calculators can simplify tax calculations. Self-employment tax should not be double counted in estimates.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!  Every review makes a big difference by telling Apple or Spotify to show the Sunlight podcast to new audiences.   Links: Get your FREE Deductions Guide
