In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Felice Gersh, one of the foremost voices in functional medicine and women's health, to tackle one of the most misunderstood phases of life—menopause. Together, we unpack the real physiological changes women face during this transition, and the often-overlooked health risks that come with it. This isn't just about “hot flashes”—we're talking sleep disruption, cardiovascular risk, insulin resistance, and the metabolic shifts that can alter a woman's long-term health trajectory. Dr. Gersh pulls back the curtain on estradiol, reframing it as a life hormone—not simply a “sex hormone.” We explore why its decline affects nearly every system in the body, and how lifestyle strategies, functional medicine insights, and targeted interventions can help women not just survive menopause, but thrive through it. Whether you're in the midst of this change or helping patients navigate it, this conversation delivers the clarity, science, and hope you need to take control of health during this critical stage of life.Key Takeaways: Hormonal Shift: Menopause leads to a decline in estradiol produced by ovaries, affecting every organ system and increasing health condition risks, including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Holistic Understanding: Dr. Gersh advocates for a comprehensive understanding of hormones in menopause, emphasizing the necessity of a proactive rather than reactive treatment approach. Testing and Diagnosis: She outlines important blood tests and diagnostic markers, such as day 3 FSH, thyroid function, inflammatory markers, and lipid profiles to better navigate menopause management. Lifestyle Interventions: Key lifestyle changes, including diet rich in plants, exercise, and stress management, are essential in promoting well-being during and beyond menopause. Functional Medicine Approach: Understanding the interconnectedness of bodily systems and the foundational role of lifestyle and hormonal therapy in women's health is crucial. More About Dr. Felice Gersh: Felice Gersh, M.D. is a multi-award winning physician with dual board certifications in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine. She is the founder and director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, a practice that provides comprehensive health care for women by combining the best evidence-based therapies from conventional, naturopathic, and holistic medicine. For 12 years, she taught obstetrics and gynecology at Keck USC School of Medicine as an Assistant Clinical Professor, and she now serves as an Affiliate Faculty Member at the Fellowship in Integrative Medicine through the University of Arizona School of Medicine. Felice is a prolific writer and lecturer who speaks globally on women's health and regularly publishes in peer-reviewed medical journals. She is the bestselling author of the PCOS SOS series and her latest book, Menopause: 50 Things You Need to Know. Her research focuses on women's hormones, metabolism, aging, and menopause. Whether she's mentoring medical students, writing groundbreaking books and medical articles, or guiding her patients, Dr. Gersh's mission remains constant: Empower women to thrive in harmony with their bodies and their health.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 8th Publish Date:  August 8th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, August 8th and Happy Birthday to Roger Federer I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Charges dropped against man accused in Cobb Walmart kidnapping case Cobb hosts annual night of unity between residents and public safety officials Traffic stop in Austell leads to meth trafficking charges Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on peaches All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 1: Charges dropped against man accused in Cobb Walmart kidnapping case After months of stress, accusations, and uncertainty, Mahendra Patel is finally free. On Wednesday, prosecutors dropped all charges against the Cobb County man, who had been accused of attempting to kidnap a toddler at a north Cobb Walmart back in March. Patel, who spent 45 days in jail and lost 17 pounds surviving on bread and peanut butter, called the ordeal “a punishment in itself.” His mugshot? Still everywhere. His reputation? Shattered. But now, at least, he can breathe. Surveillance footage, which Patel’s attorney Ashleigh Merchant said was key to clearing his name, showed Patel briefly interacting with the child’s mother, Caroline Miller, while searching for Tylenol. What prosecutors initially called an attempted kidnapping was, in Patel’s words, “a misunderstanding blown out of proportion.” A Change.org petition supporting Patel gathered over 92,000 signatures, and even inmates who once threatened him apologized after reading about his case. STORY 2: Cobb hosts annual night of unity between residents and public safety officials Badges, block parties, and a whole lot of community spirit filled Jim Miller Park for Cobb County’s National Night Out. Since 1984, this nationwide event has been all about building bridges between public safety officers and the people they serve. And on Tuesday night? It was all smiles, dunk tanks, and even axe throwing. Families wandered through booths from the Cobb Sheriff’s Office, Fire Department, 911 dispatchers, and more. Kids laughed, parents asked questions, and stuffed K-9 toys were sold to support the real-life furry officers. For Zanetia Henry, the night was personal. After losing her son Dre to gun violence in 2019, she’s dedicated herself to uniting communities through her nonprofit, Operation Recovery. “Unity takes everyone,” she said, presenting awards to officers who’ve gone above and beyond. Cobb Police Capt. Jason Best, reflecting on his 28 years of service, said it best: “We usually see people at their worst. Tonight, we get to just talk—no tickets, no arrests. Just people connecting.” STORY 3: Traffic stop in Austell leads to meth trafficking charges  Jack Randall Roberts, 68, and Justin Daniell Roberts, 30, both from Gay, Georgia, were arrested on July 31 after police allegedly found them with about a kilogram of methamphetamine. It all went down around 4 p.m. at the intersection of Garrett Road and C.H. James Parkway in Austell. Jack, driving a 2008 Ford Focus, reportedly stopped too far past the stop line—an innocent enough mistake, right? Except during the traffic stop, officers discovered the drugs, according to the warrant. Both men were booked into the Cobb County jail that evening. No bond. No release. Just a whole lot of trouble. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: COBB INT. FESITVAL STORY 4: Expect lane closures as Atlanta Gas Light begins major pipeline work Atlanta Gas Light is gearing up to kick off the Wade Green Road Phase II Pressure Improvement Project this month—a big deal for Cobb and Cherokee counties. The plan? Lay down 5.5 miles of new natural gas pipeline. Construction crews will be working near Moon Station Road, Baker Road, Woodstock Road, and Highway 92, Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Heads up: expect lane closures and some traffic headaches through late 2025, with cleanup stretching into spring 2026. The city says the project will boost system reliability during high demand and create jobs. Got questions? Check out atlantagaslight.com or email wadegreen@southernco.com. STORY 5: Community Colleges of Appalachia sign transfer agreement with WGU Leaders from Community Colleges of Appalachia (CCA) and Western Governors University (WGU) just inked a deal that could be a game-changer for Appalachian students. The agreement lets residents earn WGU’s accredited online degrees and certificates without leaving their hometowns—no uprooting, no long commutes. CCA, with 85 member colleges from Mississippi to New York (including five in Georgia), is all about serving local communities. This partnership? It’s about making higher education more accessible. Graduates and employees of CCA schools can transfer credits to WGU, skip redundant coursework, and even apply for $3,000 Learn Where You Live Scholarships. WGU’s flexible, competency-based programs—spanning business, tech, healthcare, and education—are designed for busy lives. Tuition? About $4,000 per six-month term, and students can tackle as many courses as they’re ready for. For details, check out ccofapp.org or wgu.edu.

We continue our series on exploitation filmmaker Jack Hill with special guest Odie Henderson, columnist for the Boston Globe and author of Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatras.  In this episode, we move out from Jack's New World era to his AIP era with 1973's COFFY and 1974's FOXY BROWN, two of Hill's biggest hits. They were also big hits for star Pam Grier, who had already worked with Hill in his New World films, but was now playing the titular character in both films. In COFFY, Grier plays a woman seeking revenge on the drug dealers that got her sisters addicted to drugs, while FOXY BROWN is about, well, a lot of things, including infiltrating a prostitution ring run by Grier's BIG DOLL HOUSE co-star Kathryn Loder. Expect a wide-ranging conversation that covers New World, blaxploitation films, even Indiana Jones! Which film was Jack's favorite? How did Jack nearly lose the opportunity to direct FOXY BROWN? Was COFFY written for Pam or someone else? We dive in deep, with the help of Odie's infinite expertise, and provide the answers! (Please note, this was recorded before the tragic passing of TRUCK TURNER director - and Corman Graduate - Jonathan Kaplan. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.)

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Weitz, a chiropractor with nearly four decades of experience and a deep-rooted passion for functional medicine. After suffering a serious bone injury on Halloween 2023, Dr. Weitz turned his own recovery into a masterclass in functional healing—skipping surgery and injections in favor of peptides, targeted supplementation, and upstream thinking. This isn't theory—it's application. We unpack what worked, what didn't, and why root-cause resolution still matters most. We dive into key healing tools like Forteo, collagen, and vitamin D3 + K2, while also covering deeper concepts like mTOR, longevity science, and why chiropractors often lead the way in integrative care. It's a powerful reminder that movement dysfunction, not just aging, is the true driver of poor health—and that healing starts when you treat the system, not just the symptom. Key Takeaways: Functional Medicine's Role in Healing: Dr. Ben Weitz utilized a functional medicine approach, including advanced supplements and anabolic compounds, to address a severe femur fracture. Integration in Medicine: The conversation highlights the importance of integrating functional medicine with conventional treatment strategies for optimal health outcomes. Focus on Longevity: Contrary to mainstream views, the discussion embraces a balanced approach to mTOR regulation, emphasizing muscle maintenance for longevity. Importance of Quality Nutrition: Dr. Weitz emphasizes the necessity of clean, quality supplements and a balanced diet rich in colorful vegetables, quality protein, and healthy fats. Exercise as a Health Pillar: The episode stresses the vital role of regular physical activity, particularly resistance training, for maintaining bone density and overall longevity. More About Dr. Ben Weitz: Dr. Ben Weitz is a Los Angeles-based sports chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner with over 35 years of clinical experience. He is the founder of Weitz Sports Chiropractic and Nutrition, where he helps patients address chronic pain and optimize long-term health through an integrative, root-cause approach. Dr. Weitz is also the host of the Rational Wellness podcast, where he interviews top experts in health and medicine, diving deep into topics like gut health, hormone balance, and longevity strategies. His passion lies in bridging chiropractic care with evidence-based functional medicine to support healing, performance, and preventive wellness. Website Instagram Facebook Connect with me!

In this powerful episode, I sit down with someone who truly embodies grit, discipline, and the underdog advantage. From catching passes alongside Joe Montana to lining up against legends like Deion Sanders, JJ Birden's journey isn't just about athleticism—it's about mindset. What stood out most to me is how JJ turned obstacles into stepping stones. Despite being overlooked early on, he made it to the NFL through sheer determination and a no-excuses mentality. His stories from the field are more than just entertaining—they're lessons in perseverance, strategic thinking, and personal accountability. But his journey didn't stop when he left the game. JJ shares how he applied the same principles to entrepreneurship, launching his brand Beat the Coverage—a six-step framework for recognizing opportunity and winning in life. He breaks it all down in this episode, along with the health and wellness habits that keep him sharp and performing at his best today. This isn't just a highlight reel—it's a masterclass in resilience. If you've ever felt like the odds were stacked against you, this conversation is your playbook for rising above it.

Transition from Sports to Entrepreneurship: Birden discusses his career shift, leveraging his football experiences to motivate and guide others in their personal and professional journeys.

Family First: Birden and his wife made a significant impact on their family by adopting his five nieces and nephews, expanding their household from five to ten, showing immense dedication and love. More About JJ Birden: Born June 16, 1965, in Portland, Oregon, JJ's athletic prowess earned him a track scholarship to the University of Oregon. He walked on to the football team and later excelled in both football and track & field In the 1988 NFL Draft, JJ was selected in the 8th round by the Cleveland Browns and went on to play nine seasons as a wide receiver, surpassing the average NFL career length of under two years Despite standing just 5'10" and weighing 157 lbs, he defied the odds, overcoming injuries and even being turned down by four teams in five days to establish himself as a key player with the Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, and a stint with the Cowboys After retiring, JJ didn't slow down. He became a successful entrepreneur in the health and wellness space, distributing Isagenix products and building multiple ventures. He also spent years preparing for life after football, serving as a track coach, raising funds, investing, and coaching youth, then launched a career as a motivational speaker and performance coach JJ's signature speak­ing style blends stories from his NFL experience, playing two seasons with Hall‑of‑Famer Joe Montana, with clear, actionable strategies designed to help audiences in business and life "seize their opportunities" bestselling book, When Opportunity Knocks: 8 Surefire Ways to Take Advantage!, captures the principles he lives by, and teaches others to follow He and his college sweetheart, Raina, have been married over 35 years and live in the Phoenix area, raising three children and five nieces and nephews under their roof.

The ongoing shortage of qualified substitute teachers is putting major pressure on primary schools across the country. Deputy Joe Cooney, Fine Gael TD for Clare, has urged the Minister for Education to consider allowing ECCE graduates to step in as substitutes for junior and senior infant classes, where their training in early childhood care could make a real difference. To discuss this further, Derrick Lynch was joined by Joe Cooney.

In this episode, I sit down with John Armstrong, CEO of the British Pipeline Agency and guest lecturer at the University of Warwick. If you're a graduate engineer, early-career professional, or just trying to find your feet in the evolving world of energy, this conversation is packed with honest, real-world advice that bridges technical progression with personal growth.We talk about the unspoken parts of building a career in energy: the pressure to be visible, the quiet frustrations of being overlooked, and how to create momentum without being pushy. John shares stories from his own career—spanning power stations, international placements, and leadership roles—and reflects on the career patterns that shaped him (and nearly trapped him).

Today we are taking with a newly graduated med student who made it through school debt free. She worked four different jobs and ended up joining the National Guard to help cover costs. She worked hard to save up enough to pay cash for her first year of school before joining the military to cover the last 3 years.

Col. (Ret.) Naviere Walkewicz '99  |  Mr. Wyatt Hornsby   Naviere Walkewicz  00:26 Welcome to our retrospective for Season 3. We're celebrating the first three seasons of the Association & Foundation's premier podcast and the countless leadership lessons shared by some of the most accomplished Air Force Academy grads.   Wyatt Hornsby  00:41 Naviere, in Season 3, we've showcased some amazing stories and takeaways that apply to life, both in and out of the military. From the start, Long Blue Leadership has given listeners an inside look at real experiences, insights and advice from seasoned leaders as well as those just beginning their journeys. These deep dives explore how leaders not only face challenges head on, but also find ways to inspire and empower those around them.   Naviere Walkewicz  01:06 These conversations are amazing. What really sets this podcast apart are how these leadership discussions consistently touch on teamwork, perseverance, humility, excellence and service before self.   Wyatt Hornsby  01:17 Well said, Naviere. And in this edition of Long Blue Leadership, we're gonna respond to a few clips and share our own perspectives related to some of our favorite moments, and we'll also preview what's coming up in Season 4.   Naviere Walkewicz  01:30 Now Wyatt and I would be remiss if we didn't share — listen, we could go on about every guest that's on this podcast, because everyone is remarkable, but we're just going to focus on a few of them. So let's jump right into some of our favorite moments from Season 3.   Wyatt Hornsby  Let's do it.   Naviere Walkewicz  All right. Well, this first clip is someone that you're going to recognize: Dr. Heather Wilson, Class of '82. What an amazing graduate. And you know, when we think about what she's accomplished — she's a Distinguished Graduate, secretary of the Air Force, I mean, going on into Congress — she is a mentor for many. And this particular clip, she actually is referring to someone who's been a mentor for her and being able to make an impact in his life. So let's take a listen.   Dr. Heather Wilson  02:12 My grandfather was an aviator. He was also a mechanic. He could use any tool. I mean, he was just amazing with his hands. And I had learned a new tool in school, and I took out a piece of graph paper, and I drew a curve, and I said, “Grandpa, do you think you could find the area under this curve?” And he said, “Well, I'd probably count up the squares and estimate from there on the graph paper.” And I then I showed him something new, and it was called calculus, and it was the first time in my life that I realized I had a tool that my grandfather didn't have. He had a high school education and had gone into the RAF during the First World War, and he was a great mechanic and a really good man, but I realized that there were opportunities for me that maybe my grandfather never had.   Naviere Walkewicz  03:14 What an amazing conversation with her. What did you think about that comment about the tool?   Wyatt Hornsby  03:19 That's very, very moving. You can see just what her grandfather, what he meant to her, and just to think about those experiences and how they informed and influenced how Dr. Wilson has been a leader to so many in Congress, as secretary of the Air Force and now as president of the University of Texas, El Paso.   Naviere Walkewicz  03:38 Yes. And when you go back to that conversation, I think she talks about tools in a toolbox, and she relates it to her grandfather and her dad, I think, as well. But she talks about the toolbox almost serving as — you never know when you're going to need a tool. So as long as you collect tools over time, they can make a difference. And so she likens them to the people in your life and the people who serve with you and under you and above you. But if you start to recognize the tools that they have, you never know when they're going to make a difference. And in her case, she was actually able to provide a tool like calculus for her grandfather.   Wyatt Hornsby  A great lesson.   Naviere Walkewicz  Yes, yes. So make sure you take a listen on that one.   Wyatt Hornsby  04:15 Well, Naviere, this next conversation I absolutely love — Chad Hennings, Class of 1988, who went on, I believe, to serve in the Gulf War, flew the A-10 before joining the Super Bowl-winning Dallas Cowboys. And I love this conversation. Chad talks in this conversation about who you are isn't necessarily what you do. It comes from who you are from within. I just love this clip. Let's listen to it.   Chad Hennings  04:41 One of the questions that I ask someone who is changing and transitioning in their careers, whether that be from professional athletics or from the military, I ask them, “Who are you?” You know, a lot of times they'll say, “I'm well, I'm Captain so-and-so,” or, “I'm a former F-16 fighter pilot,” or, “I'm a former running back.” I go, “That's what you do. Who are you? What you do does not define who you are.” I mean, that's the thing that I think so many people need to grasp, is that their identity is not based on what they do. It's more of an inner pursuit.   Naviere Walkewicz  05:14 Well, I won't put you on the spotlight and ask you who you are, but I remember that conversation, and it was really quite a reflective one for me, because I remember, as he was sharing those things, I started thinking, “Well, who am I, you know, as a leader, etc.” So that was really meaningful.   Wyatt Hornsby  05:30 Indeed. I mean, all across our lives and careers, we do a lot of different things. We wear a lot of different hats at various points, and I think it's hard, but I think it's so meaningful to really reflect on your own personal values in determining really who you are from within. I just loved how Chad talked about that.   Naviere Walkewicz  05:50 Yes, that was just one of the lessons that he shared. And I think it really kind of goes back to understanding yourself and growing as a leader. So it's certainly a wonderful conversation for those interested. Well, let's take a visit to one of our younger graduates. Most recently, 2024 class, and his name is Wyatt Hendrickson, so another Wyatt here. Some might remember him as Captain America. I think he's been called that lately, in the news, but known for just his accomplishments in the world of wrestling and what he's continuing to go on, hopefully here in the Olympics. But this conversation really is about some real insightful moments that I think he's had as a young leader, that he recognizes the importance of doing things for yourself. And some might first think, “Well, that sounds kind of selfish, right? You know, we're taught to be team members and team players and do things together.” But when we, when we listen to this clip, I think we understand why he talks about doing things for yourself. Let's take a listen.   Wyatt Hendrickson  06:49 As a leader in at the Air Force Academy, I started going to these briefs, and I'm like, “You know, I'm not going to try to have the a bad mindset. I'm not going to show up here, just check a box. I'm going to show up here and try to take something from it.” So what I did, I bring like a notebook or a small little pamphlet, just to write notes. And everything you do, do it with intent. Don't do it because you're afraid of a bad result — you're afraid of something here, there. Do it because you want to do it, and you have to decide you're doing it for yourself.   Naviere Walkewicz  07:18 You know, what I really like about that clip is understanding that you have to do things for yourself and not others. And so I liken it — you know, we are parents, and at one time we are children. And so we probably did things. We do things as parents for your children. When you're a child, you do things because you don't want to make your parents unhappy, or you want to make your teacher proud or your coach proud. And I think he learned early as a leader that if you're going to do something with intent, to do it for yourself. What do you think?   Wyatt Hornsby  07:44 That's right. Being able to invest in yourself so that you can show up for others as well. And so I think when you really consider that, he's really talking about a little bit of service before self within that as well. And I think it's working out well for him. You know, he just pulled off, some say, the biggest upset in NCAA wrestling history. And I agree, we'll hope that he gets to the Olympics. Just what a remarkable young leader and athlete.   Naviere Walkewicz  08:11 Yes, and what an exciting and engaging conversation that I hope you'll take a listen to as well. There were some exciting moments in there that he experienced, I think. You know, with the president and, you know, just kind of reflective moments with his coach, but certainly a conversation that many will be engaged by.   Wyatt Hornsby  08:28 And when we talked to him, his life was very busy, and we just so appreciate him taking time to talk with you, Naviere.   Naviere Walkewicz  Yes, absolutely.   Wyatt Hornsby  All right. Naviere, this next guest I absolutely love — Jemal Singleton, Class of 1999.   Naviere Walkewicz  Gold will shine.   Wyatt Hornsby  That's right, assistant head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, also coach for running backs for the Eagles. And this was such a great conversation. We were you were able to go to Philadelphia and sit down with Jemal and really hear his story and something — I mean, the conversation was just full of great insights. But one thing that Jemal said that I absolutely loved was, no matter where you are in your life and career, lead where you are. You don't have to have a big team or direct reports, just lead where you are. So let's listen to that clip.   Jemal Singleton  09:17 I think the biggest thing that you can do is lead where you're at, and it doesn't matter where you're at. “Oh, well, I'm not the CEO,” or, “Oh, I'm not the head coach,” or, “Oh, I'm not the commander.” So? Leadership comes in a million different ways. And I truly believe that you know kind of what you do with the little things, is how you do everything. And if, in your position, whatever it may be — maybe nobody even works for you — you can still lead from that position. You can lead from that spot. And I think that's it. Don't be afraid to step out. Don't be afraid to be a leader in your own mind. It's got to start there. At some point, you keep honing those skills and then maybe you are going to grow. And then, hey, you have three people working for you, but you then be a leader at that point. And it's kind of like what I mentioned earlier, about be where your feet are; lead where your feet are at.   Wyatt Hornsby  10:09 What a great insight. And I think that is just so helpful for not only people who are earlier in their career, and maybe they want to be able to grow as a leader. But also for leaders as well, in terms of how they instill in the people who they're privileged to lead, how they can continue to grow and advance.   Naviere Walkewicz  10:30 Yes, what a great life lesson in general. I think sometimes we are so eyes forward on the next thing, that we forget to be our best at the present and the moment. And that was a really, I think, a key message that I took from that was, you know, when he says, lead where you are, you know, be fully present where you are, just like we are right now, reliving, kind of that moment with him. And so what an engaging and amazing conversation with Coach Jemal Singleton. Of course, being a '99 grad, you'd expect that, but, you know?   Wyatt Hornsby  10:58 We wish him. We wish him all the best. What a run he's on right now. Congrats to the Eagles.   Naviere Walkewicz  11:03 Yes. And if I may just offer this: I did want to extend to the team with the Eagles — I mean, what a world class operation out there, to be able to invite us in and put us in their amazing studio to help us share the story that really goes beyond the football, right? It goes beyond the field and how they're doing things as leaders out there. So thank you so much for that amazing support. We really appreciate it. All right. This next clip, Wyatt, is someone that we know well. She is one of our past AOG board directors, Class of 2010, Emma Przybyslawski, also a Young Alumni Excellence Award winner for us, what a remarkable leader. You know, she served in the Air Force, in the special operations community, but also went on after the uniform to really kind of lead her team and her business. In this particular clip, she's talking about leadership outside of uniform. And I think it's important for our listeners to know that leadership comes in and outside of uniform, and so we want to make sure we highlight that. But this particular clip, she talks about getting to “no” as fast as you can — and that's an odd statement to hear, but I think it's really impactful.   Emma Przybyslawski  12:14 One of my key tenets is having the stomach to say, like, “Oof, this didn't work out the way that I wanted it to,” or, “Maybe we were wrong about that.” Step 1, right? Admitting the problem. Step 2 is then pivot, move on, let it go. Just let it go, and either take some great lessons learned from it — hopefully you do — or just bail on it and like, go on to something different. Get to no as fast as you can. Like, no is an OK answer, but man, let's get there as fast as we can. Because the more time you iterate and waste on bad ideas that you don't know if they're bad yet, that they're going to be, the sooner you can get to no, the better off you are.   Naviere Walkewicz  12:59 I really like that, just because it's so different. I mean, it's a different perspective on being thoughtful. on resources and time and how you actually utilize all that as a leader and when you're making decisions that impact others. I just thought that was really insightful. What'd you get from it?   Wyatt Hornsby  13:16 I agree, and what I hear from that is integrity and discipline. No one likes to admit that they're wrong. It's not the most fun thing in the world, but what I heard Emma say was, “If we got something wrong, just admit it. Get there as quickly as possible, learn and move on.” So I love that leadership insight.   Naviere Walkewicz  13:33 Yes, and when you look through history and you think about, those greats, those innovators — but you know, over time, they failed because they failed to actually move forward or stop something that was no longer working. They just held on so tight. I think as a leader, it's important to recognize that. And her, as you know, such, I think, a young and enthusiastic and, you know, impactful leader realizing that it's an important lesson I think we can all take.   Wyatt Hornsby  13:56 It's easy to see, you know, when we hear Emma talk about leadership, it's easy to see how far she's come in life, and, you know, what she's been able to do.   Naviere Walkewicz  14:05 Yes, so make sure you listen to that. While she does talk about that outside of uniform, she does share some incredible stories while she was in the special operations community. I think our listeners will really enjoy learning some of that too.   Wyatt Hornsby  14:16 All right, Naviere, our next guest, Dr. John Torres, Class of 1982 — and that's a name that many of our listeners and viewers may be familiar with. Chief medical correspondent for NBC News. And I love this conversation. Dr. Torres was able to take time from his schedule and visit with us here in Wecker Hall. And really what he talked about, what I took away from this was that leaders earn respect and loyalty. They take care of their people, and they put their people really before themselves. So let's listen to this clip.   Dr. John Torres  14:47 Watching leaders and how they did things, both when I was here at the Academy and when I was in the Air Force and even through medical school, the doctors that were good and talked to people appropriately. The leaders that were good and they had the men and women following them because they wanted to follow them, versus following them because they had to follow them. And as you know, there's a huge difference there. And I tried to model myself after the ones who had people who followed them because they wanted to follow — they respected them. They earned that respect. They earned that loyalty. And to me, that was always an important thing. And so when I transitioned over to medicine, especially being a flight doc, I wanted them to do the things that medically were important for them because they wanted to, because they trusted me, and they understood that I was looking out for them and not just their career or not just their flying, but looking out for them and their families.   Naviere Walkewicz  15:32 I remember that conversation.   Wyatt Hornsby  15:35 Caring deeply about the person, and not necessarily what they — putting that before what they do.   Naviere Walkewicz  15:41 Exactly. That conversation went on because it was referencing the fact that, as a medical doctor in the service, you know, you had those that really wanted to fly like that was their calling. And when they had a medical issue arise, you know, Dr. Torres, because he led in the way that he did. He created that relationship and that trust, to be able to say, “This is what we're up against,” and, you know, to be able to make a leadership and a professional recommendation, and then that, you know, “I care about you as a person, so I'm gonna ask you to consider this,” even if it might be the hard decision that they'd have to make. And I think that that goes a long way for leaders, because sometimes we have to give bad news to our people.   Wyatt Hornsby  16:21 That's right, and really caring about those who were charged with leading and taking care of their best interests, sometimes having those tough conversations. But when we do that, when we authentically care about our people, they will respect us. They will trust and that's really what he was talking about. Powerful.   Naviere Walkewicz  16:43 I think we could probably both think about examples of leaders in our lives that maybe we didn't get the best news, but we always knew they had our best interests, and we would walk through fire for them.   Wyatt Hornsby  That's right.   Naviere Walkewicz  Yes, what a great conversation with an amazing speaker. You'll have to take a listen to the entire conversation with Dr. Torres, because his was really incredible. And the fact that he actually almost left the Academy, but stayed because of survival training. So you make sure you listen to that. All right. Well, this last clip we're going to visit is, gosh, I still just got goose bumps thinking about the conversation with him. It's a recent conversation with Maj. Gen. Tom P. Sherman, Class of 1995, the current vice superintendent of the Air Force Academy. And I could go on and on about, you know, the way he inspires through his words, but this particular clip, Wyatt, was one where he talks about courage, right? And when he recognized a moment in time. This is from a conversation with his AOC, back when he was a cadet at the Air Force Academy, and he had a moment of clarity.   Wyatt Hornsby  17:45 We've both had the opportunity to see Gen. Sherman speak, and just an incredible speaker and presenter — really gets to know his audience. So let's listen.   Maj. Gen. Thomas P. Sherman  17:57 But I think really where the Foundation came in is where we started to talk about leadership. And you know, what I was asking him to do was to pull my rated recommendation form. So we had just submitted them, and I was asking him to pull my rated recommendation form. I didn't want to compete for it anymore. And so we started to talk about leadership. And he says, “You know, hey, Cadet Sherman, you need to understand that, you know, leadership in this Air Force is being the lead F-16 pilot on a bombing run. You know, putting iron on target.” And that's true. It's a very important part of leadership. It is a very important part of tactical operational leadership in this Air Force. So he's not wrong in that space, but I was looking at it from a different lens, and I was looking at it, I think, on a larger level. And what I don't think he realized is that 30 seconds before I walked into his office, he set me up for success. I just happened to be waiting outside the office, and all of a sudden I looked on his cork board, and somebody, and I don't know who it was, had pinned a note that was written to Airman Magazine by an airman first class. And this airman first class titled this, “I need a leader.” And this A1C felt so strongly about what they were feeling, and I have no idea who this person was, felt so strongly about it that they put pen to paper — and this would have been the fall of 1994 — and sent this into Airman Magazine, and it says, “I need a leader. Commissioning sources: Send us lieutenants that we can look up to that will hold us accountable when we do wrong, that will encourage us when we do well, that will be an example that we can look up to, that will care about us as human beings, because you are not sending them to us now. Air Force: I need a leader.” Like that 30 seconds just before I walked into his office, that changed my life. And it changed my life, because for me, at that moment, what I was getting ready to go ask my AOC to do what I was looking at inside myself like that became my charge.   Wyatt Hornsby  19:57 Naviere, I mean, as a graduate, how does that land with you?   Naviere Walkewicz  20:01 I have chill bumps right now, and it's not because it's cold in here, because it's not. I think you nailed it when you said he's someone who can really kind of inspire through his words. But you know, when I hear him say that, it makes me want to go back through the Academy all over again. I want to do it again to see if I can do it better. Because I want to be a leader for that airman and for anyone else that is serving alongside me, under me, etc. That's what I felt hearing that again.   Wyatt Hornsby  20:33 Yeah, and just from the whole conversation, I mean, that's really, I think that's the essence of Gen. Sherman's career, in my eyes, is that he has done everything he can to deliver or to develop as a leader and to be able to bring out the best in everyone who he has had the opportunity to lead and work with.   Naviere Walkewicz  20:51 One of my favorite moments in that conversation was about, you know, “What do you want your legacy to be?” You know, I think that was some kind of — that was maybe a way that I asked the question, and his answer was so unique, because he said, “You know, I don't really think about legacy, like, down the road.” He says — it's almost like he thinks about it in real time, and I'm paraphrasing, so you'll have to listen to the conversation. But he talked about, like, his legacy is when he makes an impact in every moment. So, like, this, you and I together, if I'm able to make an impact through our conversation, like, that's his legacy. And in off the screen, I didn't get to share this in our conversation, but my son, Arden, he's a cadet now, and when I told him I was going to be doing this podcast with Gen. Sherman, he had nothing but amazing — “Mom, I would walk through fire for him. He's so amazing. He's so inspiring.” And I shared that with Gen. Sherman, I said, “Well, you should know, sir, that you created a legacy with my son,” and it actually brought some emotion to him, and that that's who he is. I think that's who we want to be.   Wyatt Hornsby  21:52 Absolutely a remarkable leader and just an amazing episode. And hope that you all take the time to listen to it.   Naviere Walkewicz  22:00 Yes. So those were our highlights from Season 3. And like I said, we could go on about every one of our guests, because they're so impactful and amazing. And just — we take something from each of them.   Wyatt Hornsby  22:12 We did Naviere, and I want to just take a moment too, just to thank you for doing such a great job in Season 3. And just not asking questions, but just having conversations. And it's just easy to see that this just is kind of like a conversation over coffee, where you're just talking about leadership and really getting a sense of what their journey has been, whether it's been the good or the not so good, but just really finding out who they are authentically. So thank you, Naviere, just for leading those conversations.   Naviere Walkewicz  22:43 It's my great pleasure. I think some of the best work behind the scenes comes from this place of wanting to help share their story in a way that our listeners may not have ever heard before, and almost unlocking within them something that surprises themselves, about themselves, you know what I mean? Where they're actually like, “Wow, I'm sharing this,” and it's almost unlocking this new portal on leadership, on themselves. And so that's kind of how I always approach preparation for a conversation. And my goal is just to leave someone with something that really resonates with them.   Wyatt Hornsby  23:18 Well done, Naviere. And while we're at it, we're going to put Ted, our producer, our amazing producer, on the spot here. Ted, congratulations again on a great Season 3. And what are you — just any reflections that you want to share?   Ted Robertson  23:33 Loving watching Naviere grow and glow as a host — she's just my favorite person ever to work with, and thank all of you. This doesn't happen without a whole team committing time and resources and effort, eyes, ears, ideas. It doesn't happen without this group effort. It's a wonderful, wonderful place to be in. Speaking of places to be, you're going to talk about this a little later. Some listener feedback coming up next that Wyatt is going to tell you about. But we have the gift of a new studio that you're some of you are seeing for the first time inside of our new building that we can't wait for many of you to see. So thank you both for everything you do, your support, your encouragement and giving me this couple of minutes to share my thoughts with all of you.   Naviere Walkewicz  Thanks, Ted.   Wyatt Hornsby  24:23 Yeah. Thank you, Ted, again, great work, and we're just we're very grateful for all the heart and soul you put into Long Blue Leadership.   Naviere Walkewicz  24:31 Well, up next, Wyatt has some listener feedback to share with you, but before we do that, I'd like to take a moment and thank you for listening to Long Blue Leadership.

Once more, that's longblueleadership.org   Wyatt Hornsby  24:58 And a note I saw from Allison D. in reference to Naviere's conversation, particularly with Emma Przybyslawski. And this highlights how hard Naviere has worked and how well she has done as host of Long Blue Leadership. And I'll start with Allison's note to Naviere, and then I'd like to add some thoughts of my own. From Allison: “Just wanted to do a quick shout out to let you know that I've been listening to your interview with Emma P. and I thought you did a phenomenal job. Emma's willingness to share her perspective in experiences in such an authentic way was a testament to her. But I also wanted you to know that while I was actively listening to her responses, I was also blown away by your ability to follow up with each response with an insightful and natural follow up question. My brain was still digesting her last response, and I don't know how you were able to digest and formulate such an interesting follow up question in such a short amount of time. Well done, Naviere.”   Naviere Walkewicz  25:58 I remember that comment. What a special moment to get that from Allison. Thanks for sharing that, Wyatt.   Wyatt Hornsby  26:05 Our pleasure, and thank you again, Naviere, for doing such a great job as our host.   Naviere Walkewicz  26:10 Well, Wyatt, let's talk about Season 4. It's coming out. Yes, some new things. Do you want to talk about kind of where we're in right now? What to expect?   Wyatt Hornsby  26:17 We're going to be having 13 episodes. Ten are going to be Long Blue Leadership, and then two are going to be really developmental focus, special presentations. Can't wait for that. And then, of course, we'll wrap up Season 4 with a retrospective, Naviere.   Naviere Walkewicz  26:31 Oh gosh, it's going to be amazing. I think what we've learned from the past seasons are people really enjoy hearing the stories from graduates that they can connect with — some transformational moments in their lives. But really excited. We kicked it off here at the end of Season 3 will be coming from our new studio here in Wecker Hall, so they'll get to see the studio and really hear the stories from our graduates. Those are really influential and key leaders in their fields.   Wyatt Hornsby  26:56 I can't wait. And some of our guests — they'll include academics, warfighters, general officers, business leaders, scholars, diplomats, entrepreneurs, policymakers and others.   Naviere Walkewicz  27:08 Yes, and you mentioned it, that kind of leadership. Those two special episodes on leadership, this focus on leadership, we're actually going to go to experts in a field. Maybe they're published authors, but they are going to be some real experts that help our graduates and our listeners hone in on their leadership development. So it's really going to give them some tactical and tangible things that they can do to improve on their own leadership.   Wyatt Hornsby  27:30 I can't wait Naviere, an exciting new feature on leadership as we just continue to elevate our game. It's going to be really great.   Naviere Walkewicz  27:37 It's going to be great. It's going to — that focus on leadership will kick off in October with our second one in December.

We know our listeners are lifelong learners and there are different ways to gain clinical excellence. On today's show Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS talked to 4 occupational therapists who've completed an OT fellowship. Briana Elson, MS, OTR/L, BCPR, CBIS, Lindsey Talcott, MOT, OTR/L, Gianna Neutts, MS, OTR/L, and Jocelynn Aguilar, MSOT, OTR/L are here to discuss their experience and provide insights about OT fellowships and specifically the one they completed. OT fellowships are intensive one-year programs that offer more than just additional training; they provide a comprehensive approach to mastering neurological rehabilitation. Fellows experience concentrated mentorship, rotate through diverse neurological settings, and develop a deep understanding of evidence-based practice that goes far beyond traditional clinical education. The key motivation for pursuing a fellowship is clear: to become an exceptional clinician who can truly make a difference in patients' lives. The panel emphasized the importance of having at least a year of clinical experience before applying, demonstrating a strong work ethic, and showing a genuine passion for neurological occupational therapy. Also discussed are what the application process is like, the factors that would make you a competitive candidate and who is not a good fit for this type of program. The programs are challenging, requiring fellows to balance full-time clinical work with additional educational commitments - do you want that? Graduates emerge with increased confidence, specialized skills, and a commitment to lifelong learning that sets them apart in their field. Listen to the conversation and see which path you prefer to lead you to clinical excellence!

Representative Timothy Wesco, a homeschool graduate and Indiana state representative, tirelessly introduced his legislative proposal for 5 consecutive sessions. His bill? Explicitly recognize that a parent has the full legal authority to execute any document necessary to demonstrate their child's education, whether that be a transcript or a diploma. Join Timothy and Jim Mason (HSLDA President) as they discuss Timothy's homeschool experience, how the bill was passed, and the importance of developing relationships proactively with your state legislators. “Often times it's the most conservative and the most liberal members that come together—maybe for slightly different philosophical reasons, but supportive of freedom. And having constituents that are utilizing that freedom really helps to change that dynamic, right? If [a legislator] recognizes that a vibrant homeschool community in their district, that's going to affect their vote on these issues. It's so imperative for homeschool families to develop relationships with their legislators, no matter what the political party their legislator is. We can't make assumptions about their views based on their party”—Timothy Wesco

Introducing Therapy for Addiction - Learning Never Stops – Planning Your CPD In Episode 344 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we look at the ethical use of AI in therapy, highlighting potential risks and ethical responsibilities. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Caroline Evers Endicott about her lecture Introducing Therapy for Addiction - a vital area of practice that's often underrepresented in core training. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss how learning never stops in counselling - and why planning your CPD is essential as you qualify and build your therapeutic career. Ethical Use of AI in Therapy [starts at 03:34 mins] Ken Kelly, joined by his digital twin “DigiKen,” opens the episode by exploring the ethical use of AI in therapy—how it's quietly being integrated into practice, and the serious questions it raises. Key points of this section include: AI tools such as scheduling apps, transcription software, or marketing generators are already present in most practices. Many of these tools are hosted on international servers and may not comply with UK GDPR or ethical standards. Therapists must assess whether any digital tool: Complies with UK data laws. Has adequate encryption and security. Aligns with professional ethics. Stores client data securely. While AI should never replace the therapeutic relationship, it can support therapists with non-clinical tasks like admin, marketing, or web design. Introducing Therapy for Addiction [starts at 23:23 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory speaks with Caroline Evers Endicott about working with addiction and her CPD lecture Introducing Therapy for Addiction. Key points from the discussion: Addiction is a stigmatised mental health condition and is often overlooked in standard counselling training. Many clients present with anxiety, trauma, or depression before disclosing addiction later in therapy. Therapists are encouraged not to immediately refer clients on but to recognise the skills they already possess. Therapist tools Caroline highlights include: Person-centred skills: empathy, non-judgement, trust building. Modalities such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. Understanding clients' use of substances as a way to self-regulate or self-medicate unresolved trauma or neurodivergence. Caroline also explores: The value of self-reflection for therapists working with addiction. Recovery pathways including 12-step, SMART Recovery, and CBT-informed models. The importance of understanding your clients holistically and not reducing them to “just an addict”. Learning Never Stops – Planning Your CPD [starts at 51:24 mins] In this final Student Services of the season, Rory and Ken discuss how to make the most of your academic break by planning your continued professional development (CPD). Key points include: Graduates often face barriers in employment without additional training (e.g. trauma-informed work or online therapy). CPD should balance: Ethics – e.g. being trauma-informed helps you work safely with complex presentations. Sustainability – e.g. online therapy training increases employability and client access. Choose CPD based on: Clear learning outcomes. Practical application of skills. Client needs you're most likely to encounter. Ken and Rory encourage newly qualified therapists to: Reflect on gaps in their training. Focus on real-world skills they can use in the therapy room. Avoid overloading themselves - CPD should feel purposeful and empowering.

In our continuing series on exploitation filmmaker Jack Hill, director Elijah Drenner (THAT GUY DICK MILLER, AMERICAN GRINDHOUSE) joins us to discuss Jack's women-in-prison films he made for Roger Corman's New World Pictures: THE BIG DOLL HOUSE and THE BIG BIRD CAGE. With 20 years of experience making featurettes and extras for Blu-rays and DVDs (including the one included on THE BIG DOLL HOSE disc), Elijah has an unique perspective into these films and Jack's career, having been able to interview him several times for various releases of Hill's films. Elijah talks about his love for Jack's films, as well as what he thinks is the perfect women-in-prison film, and the difficulty of trying to get the story behind the story of the films we all love. This episode is not only a celebration of Jack Hill's career, but also of the importance of these behind-the-scenes extras and the context they bring to film history. As physical media lovers ourselves, it was a joy to talk to Elijah about his work and career, and the man we are trying to learn about through this chronological dive into his filmography, Jack Hill.  For more about Elijah, visit his website here.

Graduation marks a pivotal moment—not only for students but for their families too. Whether it's elementary school, high school, or college, the milestone carries a mix of excitement, reflection, and uncertainty. In this heartfelt devotional, Laura Bailey opens up about watching her own daughter graduate and the bittersweet emotions that follow. As parents, we long for God to reveal His plan to our children in unmistakable ways. But often, His direction comes not in grandeur but in stillness. Through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings, Laura reminds us that God’s voice is most often heard in a gentle whisper. This episode is a prayer of hope and trust—that graduates of all ages will remain sensitive to the quiet leading of the Holy Spirit, and that parents can let go with confidence in God’s loving care.
