When echo chambers collide you get the best conversation! I sat down with Justin Cauthen, a man with 20 years of military service and five combat tours to his credit - not to mention leadership roles in situations and countries where hostility is often the norm. His story is powerful. And so is his heart.We talked about things that matter deeply—PTSD, suicide, the ripple effect trauma has across professions, the toll military life takes on spouses and kids. Justin shared with such humility and vulnerability. One of the things he said that struck me most was this: trauma radiates. And it does—it moves through people, relationships, even whole communities. And this is experienced by many - not just those associated with the military. BUT, there is a flip side! Healing also has a ripple effect.This conversation is also about “assuming noble intent”  - as Justin puts it -  lowering our defenses, asking the hard questions, and holding space for someone else's truth. And let me tell you, Justin showed up for this in a big way. We discussed the impact of military service on personal integrity and the importance of grace and understanding in supporting veterans during their transition to civilian life. I walked away changed. And I believe you will, too. Join the conversation…Guest Bio:With over two decades of service in the United States Army and healthcare, I am beginning the transition to the civilian workforce. This is NOT an easy transition for anyone who starts into a culture such as the military at the age of 17 or 18.My military career began as a healthcare specialist overseeing the night shift EMT team, expanded into higher-level leadership, leadership instruction, senior advisory roles, and aeromedical evacuation management, and will end with my current senior position as the Executive Clinical Director of Evans Army Community Hospital.With an extensive background in military healthcare and a focus on healthcare innovation and project management, my tenure at Evans Army Community Hospital has been marked by the advancement of medical facilities and services for a vast beneficiary community. At the helm of a 2,700-member team, we've fostered innovation and optimized resources in a dynamic healthcare environment.I have had the honor of leading troops in the far east and southwest of Asia as well as other regions. I am a Flight Medic by trade, but have had the privilege as serving in a myriad of rolls. Most notably was an Advisor to the Ministries of Health for the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as well as Logistics Command to the Afghan Army. It was here, in Kabul from 2020-2021 that I learned the importance of assuming intent and the importance of recognizing the nobility in each of us, that we are ALL doing the best we can; with what we have, from the experiences we have had and the resources life have given us.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justin.cauthen?igsh=dmZ6azJicXEwb3Jr&utm_source=qrFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/18fNhfrPuu/?mibextid=wwXIfrLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-cauthen?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app About Jen Oliver:I pursue and create environments where we converse on the REAL stuff that changes us.

Medicaid provides health coverage for more than 70 million Americans, including children, veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities. But as Congress works toward a reconciliation bill, proposed cuts totaling $880 billion have raised serious concerns about the program's future and the impacts on patients and providers.In this episode, Chip Kahn sits down with Dr. Bruce Siegel, President and CEO of America's Essential Hospitals, as he reflects on his 15 years of leadership, the critical role of serving uninsured and low-income patients, and the high stakes of the Medicaid debate unfolding in Washington.Key topics include:The evolving role of essential hospitals and the need to serve uninsured and low-income patients;Medicaid's role in the health system and why it is essential for patient care;The real-world impact of Medicaid cuts, including consequences for nursing home stays, community-based services, and hospital operations;Debunking the misconception that having insurance doesn't improve health outcomes; and,Bruce's advice for future health care leaders and what's next for him after America's Essential Hospitals.Guest Bio: With an extensive background in health care management, policy, and public health, Bruce Siegel, MD, MPH, has the blend of experience necessary to lead America's Essential Hospitals and its members through the changing health care landscape and into a sustainable future. With more than 350 members, America's Essential Hospitals is the only national organization representing hospitals committed to serving those who face financial and social barriers to care. Since joining America's Essential Hospitals in 2010, Siegel has dramatically grown the association as it strengthened its advocacy, research, and education efforts. His intimate knowledge of member needs comes in part from his direct experience as president and CEO of two member systems: New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation and Tampa General Healthcare. Just before joining America's Essential Hospitals, Siegel served as director of the Center for Health Care Quality and professor of health policy at The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services. He also served as New Jersey's commissioner of health. Among his many accomplishments, Siegel led groundbreaking work on quality and equity, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. He is a past chair of the National Quality Forum board and the National Advisory Council for Healthcare Research and Quality. Modern Healthcare recognized him as one of the “100 Most Influential People in Healthcare” from 2011 to 2019 and 2022 to 2024; among the “50 Most Influential Clinical Executives” in 2022, 2023, and 2024; among the “Top 25 Diversity Leaders in Healthcare” in 2021; one of the “50 Most Influential Physician Executives” from 2012 to 2018; and among the “Top 25 Minority Executives in Healthcare” in 2014 and 2016. He also was named one of the “50 Most Powerful People in Healthcare” by Becker's Hospital Review in 2013 and 2014. Siegel earned a bachelor's degree from Princeton University, a doctor of medicine from Cornell University Medical College, and a master's degree in public health from The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health.

Reading “Horribly Lovely” was exactly that…and, I could not stop turning the pages. My conversation with the author, Jon Kohrs, went deep as we talked about his “Horribly Lovely” journey. I will avoid spoilers, but this newly released book may cause you to reconsider many things. I confess to sitting in judgment of people and behaviors that Jon's writing exposes; from addiction to marital infidelity, he opens the door wide open to us with each chapter. This conversation opened me up to a greater space of love, compassion, and understanding. Jon shares his personal experiences with shame and an insatiable quest for connection, providing insights into the challenges of being truly present for people we love and the impact of past traumas on current relationships. We also discuss the roots of addiction, the stigma surrounding suicidal ideation, and the importance of authenticity in sharing personal stories. The dialogue emphasizes the gray areas of right and wrong, the beauty in messiness, and the transformative journey of being human. Join our conversation…Here is the link again to the website.  The alchemy quiz is at the top.  http://horriblylovely.com/Guest Bio:With an unconventional approach to writing, Jon is trying to break the norms of how we express ourselves authentically and idiosyncratically with the full originality of who we are as individuals. His writing is dreamlike, symbolic, and even poetic, uplifting the human spirit through the clarity and blunt punctuation of our experience living here together.  His writing is an attempt to weave wisdom from his own unconventional journeys, with the Enneagram, shamanism, and Jungian alchemy, to explore the depth of human transformation. Jon is inspired to investigate how love works in this big bang universe of ours to empower others to bring their own real, honest, and uncomfortable love stories to the world.Jon balances writing with consulting opportunities to transform companies, teams, and leaders that desire to work in whole new ways. He serves as a designer, coach, and teacher, helping employees grow through the process of transforming ideas into intrapreneurial ventures.In both the literary and corporate worlds, he's served as a creative bridge between the personal and transpersonal realms. He is inspired by the shocks that help us unlearn who we think we and the resilience that helps us relearn who we truly are.Website: https://horriblylovely.fresheg.gs/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hatchedinlove About Jen Oliver:I pursue and create environments where we converse on the REAL stuff that changes us.

"Growth is not linear” ”Focus more on who you're being and less on what you're doing” “We're all human beings. One is not better than another” “Accept where you are when you're there” Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Abby Haverman 01:30 Abby's Early Life and Background 03:05 Transformation Through Adversity 07:15 Awakening to Self-Worth 09:36 Understanding the Mind and Identity 13:51 Practices for Present Moment Awareness 18:06 Breaking Free from Past Loops 22:28 Identifying and Embracing Personality Parts 26:04 The Journey Towards Generosity 30:48 The Power of Service in Overcoming Stress 36:19 Awareness and Self-Compassion 41:18 Understanding Perfectionism and Fear 45:05 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Acceptance 48:06 Rapid Fire Insights and Personal Reflections Episode Summary: In this conversation, Shannon Cassidy interviews Abby Havermann, a seasoned psychotherapist and speaker, who shares her journey of transformation from a life of external validation to one of self-acceptance and purpose. Abby discusses her early life, the pivotal moments that led to her awakening, and the importance of understanding the mind's role in shaping our identity. She emphasizes the significance of being present, breaking free from past loops, and embracing the various parts of our personality. The conversation culminates in a discussion about the true nature of generosity and how to navigate the complexities of human experience with compassion and awareness. In this conversation, Abby Havermann and Shannon Cassidy explore the themes of stress relief through service, the importance of self-awareness and self-compassion, the roots of perfectionism, and the journey of self-discovery. They discuss how small acts of generosity can shift our focus from self-absorption to connection with others, and emphasize the need for awareness in recognizing our judgments and fears. The dialogue culminates in rapid-fire questions that reveal personal insights and reflections on living a fulfilling life. R.O.G. Takeaway Tips: Understanding the mind is crucial for personal growth. We are not our thoughts or emotions; we are more than that. Being present is key to overcoming the mind's chatter. Growth is a spiral, not a linear process. Observing our thoughts can lead to greater self-awareness. Generosity stems from our true nature, not obligation. Identifying personality parts helps in understanding ourselves better. Self-compassion is essential in navigating life's challenges. When stressed, focus on being of service to others. Small acts of kindness can shift our mindset. Awareness is the first step to self-compassion. Perfectionism is often rooted in fear of failure. We are all human and make mistakes. Inner peace comes from accepting ourselves as we are. Guest Bio: With a combined twenty-five years of experience, first as a psychotherapist and adjunct professor at the graduate level, then as a financial advisor, and now a TEDx and corporate speaker, trainer, and executive coach, Abby Havermann guides leaders to remember their power and purpose.

As salespeople, we spend enormous amounts of time honing our skills and figuring out how to close effectively so we get more 'yeses' from clients. This is what we think will make us good salespeople.However, in only focusing on the external work, we do not give ourselves the opportunity to realize our true potential. You can see this in top athletes, performers, and artists. They don't just ace their external game, they also become masters of the complex inner game that truly underpins their performance. To help us understand and strengthen our inner mental game is author, speaker and coach, Arishma Singh.Guest Bio: With over 20 years of corporate experience with multinational corporations and start-ups such as American Express, Nielsen Media, Google Australia, Pivot Software and Experian, Arishma has been known as a top performer, a ‘pocket rocket' and a woman to watch.

TITLE:Picking the Perfect Speaker | (ft. Rich Gibbons | President, SpeakInc)OPENING QUOTE:“There are so many. I don't want to say horror stories, but there have been lots of selections over the years where corporate leaders and middle-level managers have seen what a train wreck it can be if you don't pick the right talent. And it's misaligned for whatever reason, and getting it right is a lot easier than trying to mop up afterwards.”SUMMARY:Selecting the right speaker is an art form.  It requires an understanding of your audience's preferences, the ability to read the room, and a commitment to providing an unforgettable experience.  And with those parameters in mind, Rich addresses how a speaker could make or break an event.  And how, as a broker of speakers, he needs to understand every nuance of a client's request or risk misfortune.And on that note, Rich leans into some relevant and memorable quotes from a few of his esteemed colleagues.  For example, “Prescription before diagnosis is malpractice” and “In a time of infinite choice, the power of curation skyrockets.”And it all makes sense as Rich gets specific about the need to deeply understand a conference or program slot's ethos, profile, demographic, and DNA.  He talks about the growing focus on diversity in gender and race in speaker selections, new trends in subject matter, assessing the track records of speakers (celebrity and otherwise), and… this is big …being an advocate for the event owner.If keynotes are an integral part of your program, and producing great events is your goal, this episode of No More Bad Events is a must!GUEST BIO:With an extensive client following in both the corporate and trade association realms, Rich Gibbons advises on speakers and platform talent that aligns with event goals.  He has held board positions with the International Association of Speakers Bureaus (IASB), the Corporate Event Marketing Association (CEMA), and the IASB/NSA Council.HIRE THEM TO SPEAK:Follow Rich Gibbons: Rich Gibbons eSpeakers Bio, LinkedIn Bio.Follow Scott Bloom: Scott's eSpeakers BioFollow eSpeakers: eSpeakers MarketplaceABOUT NO MORE BAD EVENTS:Brought to you by eSpeakers and hosted by professional emcee, host, and keynote speaker Scott Bloom, No More Bad Events is where you'll hear from some of the top names in the event and speaking industry about what goes on behind the scenes at the world's most perfectly executed conferences, meetings, and more.

In this episode of Climate Correction Podcast, Meteorologist Jeff Berardelli sheds light on the pressing issues surrounding climate change, with a specific focus on Florida. With his extensive background in meteorology, Jeff explores the intricate connections between human emissions, climate anomalies, and the growing risks Florida faces due to climate change.  Jeff begins by emphasizing the profound role human activity plays in the changing climate. He puts a spotlight on how carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels and deforestation are escalating the greenhouse effect, trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. These emissions have far-reaching consequences, including rising global temperatures and increased weather extremes.  He shares the shocking truth that we have just surpassed the 2023 temperature limit of 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial eras. This summer was the hottest on record due to an El Niño effect, which he describes extensively.   The discussion delves into the unsettling reality that climate and weather anomalies are becoming the new normal. Jeff illustrates how once-rare events, like rapidly intensifying hurricanes, record-breaking heatwaves, and rising sea levels are now more frequent and severe due to human-induced climate change. He stresses that these anomalies are not isolated incidents but part of a broader pattern that demands our immediate attention.  The state of Florida is uniquely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. We learn that the Sunshine State is experiencing a rise in coastal flooding, stronger hurricanes, and blistering temperatures. Jeff paints a vivid picture of the increasing risks faced by Florida's residents, ecosystems, and economy, accentuating the urgent need for action.  Throughout the conversation, Jeff highlights that addressing climate change is not merely an environmental concern but a matter of economic and societal stability. He discusses strategies to mitigate these risks, including transitioning to clean energy sources, bolstering infrastructure resilience, and implementing sustainable land-use practices.  In conclusion, this episode of the Climate Correction Podcast with Jeff Berardelli illuminates the inextricable link between human emissions, climate anomalies, and the dire consequences facing Florida. It calls upon individuals, communities, and policymakers to take proactive steps to combat climate change and protect vulnerable regions like Florida from its rapidly escalating impacts.  Guest Bio  With over two decades of experience forecasting Florida's severe weather, Jeff Berardelli is WFLA News Channel 8's Chief Meteorologist, Climate Specialist, and leader of the Max Defender 8 Weather Team.   He has also served as CBS News Meteorologist and Climate Specialist, delivering weather for the network's CBS Mornings show. Jeff has worked as a climate correspondent traveling the country reporting on environmental stories and providing scientific analysis for various platforms.  Prior to that, he served as a lead meteorologist at WPEC in West Palm Beach, a weekend meteorologist at WFOR in Miami, and a weekend meteorologist at WCBS in New York City.  Berardelli has been obsessed with the weather all the way since the age of 3. He earned his bachelor's degree in Atmospheric Sciences from Cornell University in the 1990s. Recently, after witnessing the recent spike in extreme weather, he went back to school to study Climate, earning a master's degree in Climate and Society from Columbia University. He feels that as the climate continues to change, understanding and communicating the impact of extreme weather and society is an integral part of being a TV meteorologist today.

Key Takeaways: Hormones really can derail our entire body. What's going on? A little bit about Dr. Kyrin. The mid-life weight challenges are a communication problem. Dr. Kyrin was 47 years old and had gained so much weight that she weighed 243lb.  Dr. Kyrin was falling apart, but what really bothered her the most was the weight. Everyone could see that. All of Dr. Kyrin's tests were coming back normal. This didn't make any sense! Dr. Kyrin was counting her calories, she was doing everything she was supposed to! Her doctor had enough with her excuses. A patient of hers, another woman experiencing the midlife blues, came back a year later a completely different woman. Through her, Dr. Kyrin found out she got her hormones tested. Dr. Kyrin read the book her patient was reading. At first, she was skeptical and didn't even want to read it, but when she learned about functional medicine, she had a big aha moment. After reading this book, Dr. Kyrin finally had hope. If you're having a hormone problem, that means the body is sending the wrong communication signals. No amount of counting calories will help you! Weight and energy levels go hand in hand. What tests should you be doing? People think having a healthy juice or smoothie is good for you. It is, but it depends on what you put in it. Some smoothie places put more sugar into it than what's in a soft drink. If you don't have key hormones in your body, your risk of dementia goes up! Along with many other diseases! Dr. Kyrin shares how she uses a functional approach in her practice. Everyone wants a solution, but mainstream doctors are just going to prescribe you medicine that will shut down your immune system. Get your hormones rechecked once a year. Be the CEO of your health because no one else can do it for you. Dr. Kyrin is so passionate about working with women because she has seen that if you help one woman, she helps her entire community.   Episode Summary: Dr. Kyrin Dunston couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. She thought feeling this way was “normal.” Even her doctors thought she was just making excuses for being overweight. Turns out, no, she was just doing the wrong tests. If you're a woman in her late 40s, this episode is for you! You need to go beyond the regular tests to really discover what's going on underneath the hood. You might find that your hormones are sending a completely wrong message to your body!   Guest Bio: With a successful career in the medical field, from the outside, Dr. Kyrin Dunston looked like she had it all. But on the inside, she was dying. Any spare hour she had was spent sleeping. She was tired, overweight, and her hair was falling out. She was depressed, anxious, and lacked self-confidence. She had stomach issues and low libido, and no matter what she did, all her tests came back “normal.” What was going on? Through functional medicine, Dr. Kyrin was able to regain her life back, bit by bit, and now applies the same principles to help her mid-life clients.   Resources for a Younger Lifestyle: Dr. Robyn Benson's Free Youthful Aging eGuide FREE GIFT: Robynbenson.com/gift Connect with Dr. Kyrin: Kyrindunstonmd.com/   Quotes:   “I said I'm not reading this book! I'm a board-certified OB-GYN, what is this author going to teach me? I had this arrogance, what I call contempt, prior to investigation.”   “We all have this ‘truth leader.' I read this book about functional medicine and I knew it was the truth. How am I an OB-GYN and never even heard about this?”   “Truth is, most doctors in America do the wrong tests and they read them for what's ‘normal' which is different from what's ‘optimal.'”

Guest Bio:With 18+ years of experience successfully selling and managing real estate properties, my approach is simple: building great relationships is primary and the foundation to success. As a hands-on CEO and committed franchise leader, I love that I get to help others succeed in the real estate market and build their own business.I know real estate and property management inside and out. In just over a 10-year period, I sold more than 1500 homes, and throughout my career I've been blessed to receive recognition and awards for my real estate expertise, including being ranked #98 in the Wall Street Journal's Top 400 Sales Professionals Nationwide and Realtor of the Year (2008), plus consistently being part of the top 50 of Keller Williams's teams (2008-2010). I can attest that real estate is truly the best investment – people will always need a place to live, no matter what the economy.As CEO, co-owner, and co-founder of Keyrenter, every day I get to work with passionate franchisees and help them achieve their dream of owning a successful property management business. A steadfast believer in the golden rule, I strive to lead by example and manage every property as if it were my own. And I also enjoy talking with folks who are thinking about becoming a franchisee – it's always a joy to be able to answer burning questions and provide real, in the trenches examples from my own experience.Whether for business or pleasure, I love to travel and, since business is what drives me, I've always got a great business book I'm reading. I also love the sand dunes, riding my motorcycle, and spending time with my wonderful family.

Episode Summary: This week, we talk with IT thought-leader Daniel Breston, who believes that AI could also prove to be a "valuable ally" in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of activities related to Business Continuity. Current technological maturity, with the help of enormously powerful hardware systems that are capable of performing computational calculations, have made the previously unthinkable, reachable. And our industry is now positioned to apply this capability directly to our work- from planning, to early detection and response. Daniel talks about it all! Guest Bio: With 40+ years of international technology management experience, as a CIO and other titles, I have a personal awareness of the challenges IT managers face. My goal is to help IT Managers overcome these challenges in a practical manner by acting as a sounding board and advisor.

Episode Summary: This week, we interview a user of the Adaptive Business Continuity (ABC) principles as a follow up to our episodes about ABC's founders a few weeks ago. Because the concepts of ABC are new and many are still interested in learning how it works, I interviewed José M. Garay, a Business Continuity professional with more than 20 years of experience in the financial sector in Peru. Jose has been leading BC programs at Peruvian companies within the pension funds, insurance and banking industries.   Jose has approached the principles of ABC just like many others, with a healthy dose of skepticism, and as you'll hear from his story, has taken a unique approach to melding the traditional programs with the ABC model.  Guest Bio: With more than 20 years of experience in the financial sector in his country, José M. Garay has a solid understanding of business continuity, disaster recovery and risk management. He has been leading BC programs at important Peruvian companies, such as Prima AFP (pension funds), Rimac Seguros (insurance company) and Interbank (bank). Additionally, he is a teacher at the San Ignacio de Loyola Institute since 1997. Links: Jose Garay- LinkedIn
