Avid reader, global investor and German Marshall Fund chair Chris Schroeder, who devoured around 150 books in 2024, engages in a spirited New Year discussion about literacy, geopolitics, and the power of deep reading. Despite hand-wringing about America's reading decline, Schroeder remains optimistic about young entrepreneurs' intellectual curiosity, particularly in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Discussing his favorite 2024 reads, including Annie Jacobsen's chilling nuclear war scenarios and Oscar Jonsson's analysis of Russian military thinking, Schroeder illuminates how books offer a dramatically richer understanding of the contemporary world's complexity than social media's soundbites. Pivoting to China's rising influence, the Washington DC based Schroeder notes how Chinese businesses are outcompeting Western rivals through superior service and pricing. His key message: America must focus on competitiveness rather than containment in an increasingly multipolar world swimming in what he calls "an ocean of black swans."As the co-founder of VC partnership Next Billion Ventures, Chris Schroeder invests in tech startups in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The latter is an ecosystem he knows well, having dedicated a year of his life to exploring it when writing the book Startup Rising: The Entrepreneurial Revolution Remaking the Middle East. Schroeder, who is also a startup advisor, knows the role of CEO inside out, having occupied it three times over. Schroeder started his career working for the U.S. government, before making the switch to a business development role at The Washington Post in 2000, where he would become CEO and publisher three years later. Schroeder has also served as the CEO of business-to-business data, analysis, and news provider Legi-Slate, and health and wellness platform HealthCentral, which he co-founded, grew to over 15 million unique monthly users and then sold in 2011.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Part of the purpose of our new KEEN ON AMERICA series is to (re)discover what it means to be an American. Many of the wisest observers of American life - from De Tocqueville in the 19th Century to Max Weber and Alistair Cooke in the 20th - saw the uniqueness of the American character in its can-do quality, in its hunger to fix the fixable. Christopher Schroeder is an archetype of this type of practical wisdom. As a media executive, tech investor, political insider, start-up entrepreneur and writer, the Washington DC based Schroeder has lived many lives over the last fifty years. What ties together all these accomplished lives is Schroeder's defiantly non-ideological attitude. If it's broken, Chris Schroeder wants to fix it. Maybe we should entrust him with fixing the America of the 2020s. Christopher M. Schroeder is a Washington D.C. and New York City based entrepreneur and venture investor. He co-founded HealthCentral.com, one of the nation's largest social and content platforms in health and wellness, backed by Sequoia Capital, Polaris Ventures, The Carlyle Group, Allen & Company and IAC Corporation. The company was sold to the health media publisher, Remedy Health, in January 2012 where Schroeder remained a board advisor.  Previously he was CEO of washingtonpost.newsweek interactive and LegiSlate.com, the b2b interactive platform on US and state legislation and regulation that he sold in 2000. He currently is an active investor in and advisor to top US venture capital funds and over a dozen consumer-facing social/media startups. He has had a career in finance and served in President George HW Bush's White House and Department of State on the staffs of James A. Baker, III and Robert B. Zoellick. He speaks regularly around the globe, and sits on the board of advisors of The American University of Cairo School of Business, the Jordanian incubator Oasis500, the Middle East online entrepreneur information platform and network wamda.com. He was named one of LinkedIn top 50 Influencers. Schroeder is also on the Board of Directors of the American Council on Germany, The Dean's Board of the American University School of International Service, and member of the French American Foundation and Council on Foreign Relations. He graduated with honors from The Harvard Business School, and magna cum laude from Harvard College. Schroeder is married to Alexandra Coburn and has three children.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show.

On today's episode, we are talking about what you should and shouldn't do while visiting a loved one with dementia. Dementia can take so many things away from us and our loved ones, but we shouldn't let it take away time. Today we will be discussing how you can ensure you have a successful visit if your loved one is in a facility, as well as what you should and shouldn't do when visiting. We will also be focusing heavily on the importance of visiting a loved one with dementia. Now let's move on to the rest of the show.   Visiting a loved one with dementia may seem scary to you and to others that have been close to your loved one. Visiting doesn't have to be scary, though. It is often a rewarding experience for both the visitor and the person with dementia. It is our hope that this episode, as well as our podcast as a whole, can help give you the tools to have a successful visit and end the stigma around dementia.   If you have been listening to our recent episodes, you will have noticed that we have been talking a lot about dementia and Alzheimer's. That is because we believe that the more educated people are on the subject, the closer our society and communities will be to becoming dementia-friendly. As the aging population increases, we are also going to be seeing an increase in dementia cases. As of the release of this episode, there is no cure for dementia. There are treatment plans, but dementia isn't something that is going to go away in the near future. Taking the steps to establish dementia-friendly spaces in our communities now can help our loved ones, and even ourselves when the time comes.   Whether you are planning on visiting a loved one in a care facility or having visitors come to you, it is best to be prepared. Preparing for a visit is the first step of having a successful visit. Learning about dementia is a good first step before visiting a loved one with dementia. Our recent series on the seven stages of Alzheimer's is an excellent place to start your learning, too. You can find all of our current and past episodes of our podcast on our website, our YouTube channel, or on any of your favorite podcast streaming platform.   If your loved one has recently moved into a care facility or is going to make the move to a care facility soon, there are a few things you can do to make their transition easier. The Family Caregiver Alliance says that during the first two weeks, visit often and stay as long as you want. If the facility has a policy of not allowing visitors for the first two weeks during the adjustment period, consider whether this is the right facility for you. In some cases, visiting may make the transition harder on someone with dementia, so make sure you talk to your doctor and the facility staff to determine what the best course of action is for your unique situation.   After you have chosen a care facility for your loved one, get to know the staff. They are the ones that are going to be caring for your loved one on a daily basis. They are also going to be the ones you will need to talk to for updates on your loved one and if any problems arise. Having a good working relationship with the staff can lessen some anxieties you may have about your loved one being surrounded by strangers.   Moving into a facility can be scary for your loved one. If they seem nervous or upset about the move, try to cheer them up by decorating their space, because this is their space. Putting up familiar decorations, pictures, blankets, and other comfort items they own can help them feel more at home in their new environment.   Family Caregiver Alliance also says that if your loved one is agitated about the move, have a story you use consistently about why he or she has to stay there “for a little while,” such as: “The house is being painted and I don't want you to smell the fumes.”   “I need to have a minor medical procedure and I can't take care of you while I am recovering.”   “I am having some termite work done on the house, or”   “The city is fixing the sewer.”   This is to help with diverting their agitation away from the situation and refocus on something else.   If you are unable to divert your loved one's attention with these fiblets, change the subject and discuss the latest ball game, the weather, politics, the grandchildren, etc.   When you first come in for a visit, introduce yourself to your loved one. For example, I would say, “Hi, Dad, it's me, Lance.” Saying your name instead of your relationship can help avoid unnecessary confusion for your loved one. If calling them Mom or Dad upsets them, address them by their name, instead.   It's not unusual that your loved one will tell you that they want to go home during your visit. Usually, when your loved one says they want to go home, they are really conveying that they are not yet comfortable in their new environment, and that's totally normal. It can and it will take your loved one some time to adjust to their new place of residence. To avoid fighting about not being able to go home, ask them what they like about their home or ask them to tell you about their home.   After about two weeks, you can start decreasing the amount and length of visits. Instead of visiting every day, visit every other day and so on. Bring treats and things to do with you on your visits. You can bring their favorite dessert, a favorite game, or even a few photo albums. Your loved one will be excited to have gifts and it will give you a purpose for your visit. It can also be helpful to have a list of things you want to talk about, as your loved one most likely will not be able to give you conversation topics.   Once your loved one is settled in their new environment, you can go for a walk around the facility. Getting out of their room can help improve their mood even after your visit has ended. If the facility allows it, and if your loved one will not become confused or experience an outburst of negative emotions, you can even go on an outing outside of the facility. Many people enjoy going to a favorite lunch spot or park. Make sure you clear any outings with the facility first, though. Every facility will have their own policies and procedures and can be dependent on the type of facility they are living at.   You can continue to shorten your visits after the two week adjustment period. According to Family Caregiver Alliance, the person with dementia usually doesn't remember if you have been there for five minutes or five hours. Ultimately it's better to visit three times per week for 20 minutes and eventually once a week for an hour.   Once your loved one is adjusted to their new residence, encourage others to visit them. Bring one of your loved one's friends along with you if they are nervous to visit by themselves. Limit visits to two people per visit to not overwhelm your loved one. You can also start a visitor's book for everyone to sign if the facility allows items to be left in your loved one's room.   The Alzheimer's Society says that it can become difficult for a person with dementia to remember all the comings and goings in their day. By creating a visitor guest book, you can help the person you're visiting to remember who has come to visit and how they spent their time together. Guest books can also be good conversation starters for other visitors and for the person with dementia to remember everything that has happened in their day.   A guest book can be an inexpensive notebook or a journal that is kept in a central, obvious location in the home where visitors will easily locate it (such as by the front door). Though it is best if the guest book is made so the person with dementia can enjoy it to the fullest, the following information should always be included: the date of visit, the visitor's name, how you spent your time together that day, and when you will come again (try to be as specific as possible).   The Alzheimer's Society also has two examples of what entries in a visitor book can look like. The first states the date on the first line. The first example is from a service worker or caregiver.   Dear Joanne,   This is your home care worker, Anthony. Today, I came around 3:00pm to do the laundry and I made your favorite, mashed potatoes with broccoli and chicken for dinner.   It was nice talking to you today about your husband, Jerry, and your dog, Pepper.   I will be coming back on January 26th, at 3:00pm.   See you in a few days.   Anthony   The second example is from a friend or family member. Date: April 12, 2015   Hi Dad,   This is your daughter Aisha; I've had a nice visit with you today at 1:00pm. We shared a tasty lunch together and had a good walk around the neighborhood. We passed the convenience store where you told me that you used to buy your lottery tickets every weekend.   I will come on Wednesday, April 15th, for lunch time at 12:00pm. I will bring lunch so we can eat together at home. See you then.   Love you!   Aisha   You can find a link to these examples in our show notes if you would like to see how they are written out. We have done a few episodes on ways to talk to a loved one with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia in the past. There are tips and tricks in those past episodes that we don't mention today and vice versa. You can check out our Dementia and Alzheimer's playlist on YouTube for a complete list of episodes we've done covering dementia and Alzheimer's.   Minimizing distractions can help you have a more productive visit. Try turning off the tv or any music that's playing. Completely removing distractions in a facility may be an impossible request, but you can reduce distractions as much as you can. If you are visiting your loved one in a common area, make sure your loved one is facing away from any walkways so they will be less distracted by people moving around them.   If you are visiting your loved one in their room, it is much easier to limit distractions. Make sure to notify staff that you are visiting with your loved one so that they may avoid unnecessary interruptions. You should also learn your loved one's schedule and come at a time when they are less likely to be distracted or busy. Try to visit during free time and not during an activity, as well.   DailyCaring has a few essential do's and don'ts for visiting someone with dementia. Do keep your tone and body language friendly and positive. Don't speak too loudly. Do make eye contact and stay at their eye level. Don't say “do you remember?” as this can cause anger or embarrassment. Do speak slowly and in short sentences with only one idea per sentence. For example: “Hi Mary. I'm Jane, your friend.” or “What a beautiful day. The sunshine is nice, isn't it?” or “Tell me about your daughter.”   Don't argue. If they say something that's not correct, just let it go. Do give them extra time to speak or answer questions and use open-ended questions because there are no right or wrong answers. Don't point out mistakes. It just makes them feel bad and doesn't help the conversation. Do be ok with sitting together in silence. They may enjoy that just as much as talking. Don't assume they don't remember anything. Many people have moments of clarity and assuming they don't remember something when they do it can hurt their self-esteem.   Do follow their lead, don't force conversation topics or activities. You should come prepared with an activity, like something to read out loud, a photo album to look at, or some of their favorite music to listen to, though. They may enjoy whatever you brought with you, but make sure you listen to what they are telling you through your time together.   Don't take mean or nasty things they say personally. The disease may twist their words or make them react badly out of confusion, frustration, fear, or anger. At the same time, make sure you validate their feelings. Allow them to express sadness, fear, or anger.   Do enter their reality. Go with the flow of the conversation even if they talk about things that aren't true or don't make sense. If there are other people in the room with you, don't talk about your loved one with them as if they're not there. Most of the time, your loved one knows when you are talking about them, even if you don't realize it. Always honor and respect their dignity.   Lastly, Do share and discuss memories of the past. Your loved one is more likely to remember things from long ago than they are things that happened recently. You can also show affection by giving hugs, gentle touches, or massaging their arms or shoulders, with their permission of course.   A simple touch can be a great way to convey feelings of fondness and is a good way to communicate without talking. If your loved one has trouble making conversation, which they may during the later stages of Alzheimer's, they may still be able to communicate through touch. Touch and feeling is often a form of communication that outlasts the ability to comprehend conversations and words.   As we mentioned earlier and is reinforced by HealthCentral the most important thing to remember before you visit is dignity above all. If you keep that in mind you really can't go wrong. Put yourself in this person's place. How would you like to be treated if you had lost your ability to find the right words to communicate, make sense of what others say, swallow whole food and use the toilet? Before you visit, give this serious thought. Your instincts should guide you with the rest.   According to Alzheimer's.net, a recent survey found that 42% of the public think it's pointless to stay in contact with loved ones who have Alzheimer's after they are unable to recognize the faces of family and friends. Alzheimer's advocates and researchers caution against this line of thinking, saying that even as the disease progresses, people with advanced dementia can still hold an emotional memory, meaning that they remember how something made them feel long after they have forgotten the event that brought those feelings. Another survey found that more than 50% of people with Alzheimer's were not participating in social activities and 64% said they felt isolated after receiving their diagnosis.   VeryWell Health tells us that research has demonstrated that it's not just the memory that matters here; it's also the emotion created by a positive visit. What's important to note is that the positive emotion from an encouraging and supportive visit can last much longer than the specific memory of that visit.   You may have impacted that person's whole day by changing her feelings and behavior. Although she might not be able to recall that you visited her, the feelings you created in her can change how she interacts with others and improve her mood.   Next time you think it doesn't matter, think again. The benefit of your visit might last long after you've gone.   The holidays can be a time of dread for some when it comes to visiting our loved ones, but it is very important to visit our loved ones with dementia. As we get closer to the holiday season, make a plan to visit your loved one and include them in any festivities you can. Chief Executive of the Alzheimer's Society, Jeremy Hughes, states “After spending time with friends and family over the festive period, New Year can be a bleak and lonely time for people with dementia and their caregivers. It's so important for people with dementia to feel connected throughout the year. Spending time with loved ones and taking part in meaningful activities can have a powerful and positive impact, even if they don't remember the event itself. We're urging people to get in touch with us and find out how we can help you stay connected.”   The holidays can be stressful for your loved one, just as they can be for you. Not being able to participate in traditions they used to be able to can be upsetting and make them feel left out. These feelings can cause them to have outbursts and you and other visitors may feel less inclined to visit with them if you are constantly on edge and expecting a burst of anger.   Next Avenue and Caring.com both tell us not to be overly afraid of outbursts, either.   Sometimes we are so afraid of a person with dementia having an outburst that we shut down ahead of time and miss the opportunity to connect.   According to Korner, a dementia care specialist, “Don't be afraid of listening to their negative feelings. It doesn't necessarily mean things will escalate. You can empathize. If the conversation makes the visitor uncomfortable, then redirect the conversation. Ask permission to talk about something else. Say, ‘I'm hearing this is upsetting to you, so would you mind if I change the subject and we talk about an issue I'm having?'”   “Or get up and physically move, and make up a reason if needed,” says Korner. “Say, ‘I have a cramp in my leg, would you mind if we walked a little?' Sometimes a quick change of scene or allowing time for the person to calm down if they get angry can quickly change the person's mood. The good news is that even if they get angry, they may not remember it a few minutes later, so why should you hold onto it?”   We have already talked about not judging your loved one, but Korner also says not to “judge yourself too harshly, either. It's not like any of us are prepared for the challenges you face trying to connect to a loved one with dementia. It's not like you go to school for this. But you need to accept it and get up to speed as fast as you can when you're faced with the situation.”   We hope this episode has helped you see the importance of visiting a loved one with dementia, even after they may no longer recognize who you are. You can use the do's and don'ts we discussed today to ensure you have the best visit possible with your loved one. And you now know that if your visit doesn't go the way you have planned, it's okay. You will try again next time and not worry about the previous visit.

When you take care of yourself, for some oddball reason, you start to feel better about yourself. You transform silence through conversation. You transform the sabotage social injustice, self destructive behavior, and suicide through connecting with others at a deeper level, which is something we are so lacking in this world.14:20: When we think about our businesses, we think about being productive and profitable and there's so many studies that show in a mentally healthy work environment, the company is more productive and profitable. So addressing it is a win for everyone.15:43: And that's what I have been seeing when I've been speaking in workplaces, is that people are slowly starting to embrace that we can't put it [mental wellness] into a box. We can't just get some breathing exercises and you're going to be okay. It's dirty. It's messy, but it's also beautiful and there's gold on the other side.16:29: If you made that courageous step of getting help, first of all, it's important to realize that it's a process to find the right treatment for yourself.18:38: We confuse escape activities and self-care. There's nothing wrong with escape activities, but it's important to distinguish the two. And when you do, you start getting on the road to a mentally healthier life. 24:01: When you participate in art activity, whether it's drawing, painting or anything, you get to have a conversation with yourself. That's all art is, a conversation with yourself and it allows you to express things that maybe you can't express in words. Dear Mind, You Matter is brought to you by NOBU, a new mental health, and wellness app. To download NOBU, visit the app store or Google Play. This podcast is hosted by Allison Walsh  and Dr. Angela Phillips.

This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions you can send them to Hello@drsamberne.com. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode. Hey everybody, it's Dr. Sam and I want to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. So we have a very special guest today. She's a physician. Her name is Dr. Monisha Bhanote, and I met Dr. Bhanote on clubhouse and was very impressed with her information. So I wanted to bring her on. But a little background about her. She is a quadruple board certified physician with over 20 years of healthcare experience. She has expertise in integrative medicine, internal medicine, and something I'm interested in because I studied this in optometry school, anatomic and clinical pathology. I'm very excited because she just shared with me she has a new book that's going to be coming out in the fall called the anatomy of well being. She also is training holistic health coaches. And we'll talk about that as well in many other subjects. So Dr. Bhanote, I want to welcome you. And my first question is, what drew you to researching and studying anatomic and clinical pathology? I'm really curious about that. 01:58 Yeah. So thank you, Sam, for having me on your podcast today. And yes, it's been great meeting you on clubhouse and connecting since then. So I think what drew me to anatomic and clinical pathology is my training where I did my medical school training, I actually trained in Europe, and they are very grounded in the basic sciences. So I had extensive background in anatomy, histology and the functioning of the body. And, you know, when I came out of medical school, I did, I did what I thought was a traditional route of going into internal medicine and taking care of patients, however, that the system that I was working in did was not quite working for me in the sense of I felt like I was helping people. So I actually then explored other opportunities and went into pathology because it's such a complex study of the human body. And there's so much to know that I knew that I was not only not ever going to be able to learn everything, but at the same time, I was still going to be able to help people by giving them definitive answers. So people don't really know that pathologists are actually physicians working with other physicians, they're the physicians who actually have the answers in the sense that they make the diagnoses off of...

This style guide, developed by the National Center on Disability and Journalism at Arizona State University, is intended to help. It covers almost 200 words and terms commonly used when referring to disability. OUR GUEST: Charis Hill Award-winning advocate for the spondyloarthritis community since 2013, Charis is a queer disabled writer, speaker, and model living with Axial Spondyloarthritis, Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Autism.

They are consistently involved in national/international awareness and legislative advocacy efforts to improve spondylitis education, funding, and access to treatment. Charis serves on the Spondylitis Association of America advocacy committee and the CreakyJoints/Global Healthy Living Foundation (GHLF) Patient Council and COVID-19 Patient Leadership Council.

Jaime Sanders’ journey with migraine has been life-long. From a toddler with abdominal migraine to a wife and mother with chronic intractable migraine, Jaime has learned to turn her pain into empowerment. She also manages her daily life with depression and anxiety, surviving two suicide attempts, along with fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, spinal stenosis and chronic back pain. Despite these conditions and their limitations, she strives to do her best to find her optimal health. Advocating for headache disorders and mental health are her passions. She is the author of the award-wining blog The Migraine Diva, and was the Migraine Patient Advocacy Coordinator for Global Healthy Living Foundation. Through her work with GHLF, Jaime contributed as a patient reviewer for their First Edition Migraine Patient Guidelines. She is also partnered with the American Migraine Foundation and Shades for Migraine and is a stakeholder with the Coalition for Headache and Migraine Patients and the Headache and Migraine Policy Forum. Jaime is a member of the Society for Women’s Health Research Interdisciplinary Migraine Network and helped to curate their Migraine Patient Toolkit. She also sits on the Patient Leadership Council with the National Headache Foundation. Through her advocacy work and blog, Jaime’s mission is to make a very invisible disease visible to the rest of the world and validate the real pain of millions. You can find her written work on Migraine.com, Teva’s Life Effects Program sponsored by Healthline Media, NewLifeOutlook.com, HealthCentral.com, and PracticalPainManagement.com. Tune in as Jaime shares: that she was diagnosed with migraine at eight years old that she has lived in chronic pain since the age of two — in the form of abdominal migraine that her mom also lived with migraine — and as such, she had a shoulder to lean on from the very beginning, as well as someone to learn advocacy from that having support from such a young age was critical to the foundation of her advocacy work how chronic pain is directly connected to mental health — and that she lived with depression from an early age because of her pain that she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2012 that she developed fibromyalgia as a direct result of persistent daily migraines, which had her central nervous system working in overdrive that migraines often have no known cause, and are totally individual to the person who lives with them that she manages her pain with a combination of medications and holistic methods: Botox, nerve blocks, massage, CBD salves, and meditation, among others  that the pain scale is subjective, and her pain is at level 2-5 daily that aside from chronic pain, she also lives with gastric distress symptoms every day — and how the brain-gut connection is so clear when you live with chronic pain conditions how she finds self-worth and confidence in her relationships…and beyond her pain how she minimizes stress to manage her spoons how she tackles the “angry Black woman” and “hysterical” narratives that migraine is so much more than a headache what’s coming up for her: she is the lead writer on a new white paper aiming to address disparities in communities adversely affected by migraine and headache (the incarcerated, immigrants, and BIPOC, among others)

On this episode, Dr.G is joined by Christopher Schroeder – a fierce advocate for the role startups can play in helping revolutionize growth in emerging markets around the world. As a serial entrepreneur, venture investor, and former media executive, Chris gives us an up-close perspective of how the media has falsely portrayed the landscape of the Middle East (and other emerging growth markets) and how startups are revolutionizing economies from the ground up. In this episode, Chris shares with us the unexpected stories of transformational startups he encountered along his frequent journeys to the Middle East, how startups will define and shape world economic progress, what opportunities he sees on the horizon for upcoming entrepreneurs, and how his upbringing shaped his current thinking.  All this and more on today’s episode. Now, That’s Unusual. About Christopher Schroeder Christopher Schroeder is an entrepreneur, speaker, author and venture investor. He was the co-founder and CEO of HealthCentral.com, one of the leading content and social consumer health and wellness platforms in the United States as well as CEO and publisher of Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive. Schroeder’s impressive resume also includes a career in finance and a stint in President George HW Bush’s White House. Schroeder received an invitation to speak at the 2010 Celebration of Entrepreneurship in Dubai, and this opportunity began his journey in writing the best-seller Startup Rising. In 13 subsequent trips to the Middle East, he interviewed over 150 entrepreneurs, investors and global tech leaders. In addition to the book, Schroeder has also written about startups and technology in emerging growth markets for the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Fortune and Harvard Business Review among others. Key Interview Takeaways While it is important to understand and acknowledge the conflict taking place in the Middle East, it is a mistake to see that as the only narrative and overlook the thousands of talented young entrepreneurs building enterprises in the region. We can learn from the United Arab Emirates’ government and business focus on world-class innovation and technology. Their “free zones” attract the best talent because it’s easier to succeed, which in turn spurs innovation and encourages an open exchange of goods, ideas and capital. Throughout the history of growth markets, the first major successes in the world of software enabled tech startups are models brought in and adapted to local markets. Schroeder cites Souq (often referred to as “the Amazon of the Arab world”) as an example of this successful adaptation. An estimated 25% of tech startups in the Middle East are run by women. Yes, women in the region wrestle with particular challenges, but Schroeder alludes to the ability to work around challenges as the definition of a great entrepreneur. We live in an era of co-authorship, where layering innovation in regional and growth markets and taking advantage of shared learning will make for great global enterprises. Schroeder argues that “anything less than that will be a missed opportunity.” The pervasive unleashing information is empowering because it gives people access to knowledge rather than force-feeding them a particular narrative. (Unfortunately, that access can also confuse and unnerve people, causing them to seek out “what they want to hear,” and those limited narratives are available through technology as well.) Organizations that are not able to take a hard look at where the world is going and how it may directly affect them face an existential threat. They must adapt or these companies won’t survive.

Mike is America’s leading mental health speaker and a high energy drum circle facilitator. He delivers educational, engaging, and entertaining presentations to meetings and conferences throughout the world. Mike is fiercely committed to wellness, suicide prevention, and helping people work together more smoothly. If you are looking for a proven speaker who can address the stigma surrounding mental health and deliver a corporate drumming event, then you have come to the right place. With 15 years of experience electrifying audiences and making meeting planners look good, his mission is to empower people to connect authentically. Mike’s path to becoming a public speaker became evident at an early age. He convinced the staff at psychiatric hospitals to discharge him three times during his childhood. In addition to being hospitalized as a child, he was expelled from 3 schools, attempted suicide, and was medicated in efforts to reduce his emotional instability and behavioral outbursts. By the fifth grade, Mike was put in a special education class. Aside from getting more individualized attention from the teacher, he learned that pencil erasers make a great sound when tapped on a desk. He had no idea that drumming would become his career or his path to recovery. Event planners say remarkable things about the impact his work has their events. “MikeVeny has an innate ability to connect with people, draw them out, and get them to participate. This is not an easy task when you are responsible for closing a two and a half-day conference on a Friday.” MaryBeth Schneider – Assistant Executive Director for Training and Self-Advocacy, NYSARC “Mike’s ability to connect with students is a talent that very few adults have. His ability to address a group of 200 students and have them engaged for well over an hour shows just how deep his talent runs.” Jesicah Rolapp – Principal, Los Angeles Leadership Academy “MikeVeny participated in our 2013 community mental health awareness conference and was nothing short of outstanding. I believe his candor, humor, and transparency are applicable in a variety of corporate and community settings.” Sophie Clark – Executive Director, NAMI Washington, DC Similar benefits await when you hire Mike to take your event to the next level.
