We're all on a path to somewhere, and then something comes along that brings clarity into our life, and often takes us in an unexpected direction. We ask, “did we manifest that” or did it “just happen?” Lyn St. James believe it's likely a combination of things, but she believes things don't just happen. The more difficult the challenge, the more difficult the climb, and the more important we need to pay attention to the things that influence our choices. It's often upon reflection where we can see and learn how those influences impacted our lives. And depending on what decade we're living in, and what decade of our life we're reflecting on those choices, it can help shape our lives and the lives of those around us. An important piece of advice - pay attention to your influences and how they impact your decisions. And always think about the bigger picture, because everything we invite to enter our sphere of awareness impacts what we do, and what we do has an impact on others. This presentation is a recap of how my five decades in the motorsports industry has taken me down the path of racing around the world and provided me with incredible opportunities to be someone I would never have dreamed I could be.

Amy and Janet have a unique conversation about the corporate Field of Change Management, as Janet is a Change Management Consultant.

She is practicing yoga therapy at an organizational level and with the individuals inside the organization.·        Janet describes how she came to understand her calling. She says that at some point she could no longer deny who she has become. She accepted the assignment to be authentically herself and shine brightly.·        Janet describes What is Freedom, What is Faith and What is Inner Knowing.·        She talks about how healing requires relinquishing that which we once felt was precious (but was mostly causing us suffering) and what it means to grieve as we come to a new understanding of our true nature.·        Last, Janet talks about her life purpose of making yoga therapy more inclusive, breaking down barriers and obstacles, and how her ancestors are living through her to propel her into this new version of herself.·        Janet has raised 2 kind, confident, intelligent, and resilient daughters.

This episode takes us on an enlightening discussion on taste, smell, and how we can better develop our palates for tasting. Supertaster Candice Madison helps us understand the hows and whys of taste and how we can all benefit from exploring different tastes and smells. Candice Madison has worked in specialty coffee for almost 15 years, as an accomplished barista, roaster, green buyer, and instructor. They are a Q Arabica Instructor for the Coffee Quality Institute which awards the highest sensory certification in the professional coffee industry. They are also an experienced Authorized Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Trainer, teaching on SCA-certified campuses, as well as at the annual SCA Event, World of Coffee, and Coffee Roasters Guild Retreat. A past World Coffee Events Head Judge, Candice began work on their own project, Kandake Boutique Coffees, which expects to launch in the winter of 2022. Previously a member of several SCA committees, including the Equity Diversity and Inclusion Task Force, Candice is the outgoing Vice President of the Coffee Coalition for Racial Equity (CCRE). They continue to partner and consult with multi-national corporations, and smaller companies, all the way through to home enthusiasts. This approach, they believe, democratizes the coffee industry, ensuring that all consumers feel welcome, seen, and heard, enjoying all coffee has to offer. A published writer, Candice embraces a range of topics concerning technical aspects of specialty coffee itself and the industry in general. Their work has been featured in a range of national and international publications. In addition, they have also been the subject of interviews, podcasts, and book contributions. But their core mission is not to advance themselves but to engage and collaborate with those who look to ensure quality in specialty coffee throughout the supply chain. Most important to Candice's work is that they ultimately support sustainable livelihoods for farmers, producers, and all of those along the supply chain, recognizing the invaluable role that women and people of color play. Their vocation is the unceasing quest for the highest quality of coffee and the constant, sustainable improvement in the quality of the lives of those who produce it.

Our guests discuss the definitions for diversity, equity and inclusion and why the AABP Board of Directors created this task force. We discuss the importance of ensuring that everyone feels welcome in rural mixed or large animal practice to improve recruitment and retention of veterinarians in our segment of the profession. We also discuss that veterinary medicine is the least diverse health profession and AAVMC publishes data on veterinary student demographics which can be found here. AAVMC also has a study that discusses the bias in admissions procedures. Cary and Marshall also discuss why it is important to ask demographic questions to our members and the problems with ignoring someone's race, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation. Cary discusses some of the initiatives the PRIDE VMC has developed, including Journey for Teams to assist private practices in developing a working space that is inclusive for employees and clients. Our guests discuss the importance of allyship to help support those that are under-represented in veterinary medicine. Allyship resources can be found here and the AVMA has also developed a Brave Space Certificate program available on the AVMA AXON CE portal. We welcome our members to attend the upcoming keynote address from Dr. Vernard Hodges and join us for additional conversation on DEI over the lunch hour in room 104 at the convention center.

It's no secret that San Luis Obispo lacks the diversity of California at large. According to the latest census estimates, more than two-thirds of SLO County residents identified as white, compared to about one-third statewide. In 2020, the Black Lives Matter protests in SLO put a spotlight on some of the challenges faced by marginalized community members here. In response, the city created a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force, which came up with a list of recommendations that the city council approved unanimously in January 2021. In this episode, I talk with Beya Makekau, SLO's first manager of diversity, equity and inclusion, about what the city's Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has done to follow up on those recommendations—and how she plans to transform SLO into a more welcoming community. Action item: The deadline for nonprofit organizations to apply for a DEI grant is Aug. 31. The city is offering up to $300,000 for programming that advances the city's goal of making the community feel more welcoming to all. Also, keep an eye out for Diversity Speaker Series events.

How can you stay true to the why behind your art and grow your business at the same time? Janna Willoughby-Lohr chats with us about how she's done both. Artists need to eat. While we create paper flowers because we love our art and touching people's lives in a unique way, we also have bills to pay. Can you do both? Yes! In our latest episode of Paper Talk, we talked with Janna Willoughby-Lohr of Papercraft Miracles. Starting back in her college days, she set the rules for being an artist and building a successful business at the same time. As she put it, “I wanted to be an artist, and I didn't want to be a starving artist, because that's terrible.” Janna made the right choices at the right time so that she could take advantage of opportunities that stayed true to her why and made financial sense. Listen now to get a shot of confidence for how you can do the same thing. Here's what you'll learn when you listen to our conversation: ► Jenna's paper flower journey and the why that's fueled it.► Why being open to new opportunities is critical for building a business. ► How Jenna made her appearance on a discovery+ TV show.► Her advice for where to start when trying to grow your business.► How Janna became a meme. If you can't listen right away, here are three things we discussed on the episode to get you started. Be Open to Opportunities One way that Janna has helped her business grow is by being open to new kinds of opportunities. She has received many requests over the years for things that were outside of her norm. That's how she discovered paper flowers! A client asked if she could make them, and she said yes knowing that she'd have to learn something new. That led her to discover yet another medium that she now loves. You can listen to the episode to hear many more examples, from being on a discovery+ show, to fulfilling an order for half a million seed bombs for Lowe's. Each time she pushed the boundaries of what she did, and doing so paid off in big ways in the end. Focus on What Will Work When a potential client comes to Janna with a crazy request, rather than thinking about all the ways it won't work, she focuses on what might work. Maybe she'll try something that fails. Then it's just back to the drawing board. Maybe she'll try something that ends up being fantastic and leads her somewhere even better. “I really try not to be that person who thinks of all the reasons it's not going to work.” -Janna With a positive attitude and a problem solving mindset, you'll face more challenges—which means you'll overcome more challenges! Your skill set will grow, and your business will grow. Give Your Business Time No business is built in a day. That's especially true when you're forging a new path, which many of us in the paper art world are doing. On the episode, Janna told us that she didn't pay herself until very recently. Every penny of profit she made went back into building up her business. She avoided debt and was able to invest in things that helped her paper business grow in the long term. You might not be in the right financial situation to do that, and it simply might not be the right choice for you. However, being patient is definitely the right path for all of us. Even if you were somehow able to work on your paper flower business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it would still take time to grow into what you envision. Listen to the podcast now to hear even more about how Janna has focused on her why all along her journey, and how her business is all the better for it. Also, here's the PDF format for THE WHY WORKSHEET that you can download for free. ********** ABOUT Janna Willoughby-Lohr: Janna Willoughby-Lohr is an artist, poet, musician and entrepreneur from Buffalo, NY.

She was awarded a $25,000 Ignite Buffalo Grant in 2018 and was named 40-Under-40 from Stationery Trends Magazine in 2019. She's worked with large brands such as Twitter and Capital One. In 2021, her team created 500,000 plantable seed bombs for Lowe's Spring Garden Giveaway event.

Life is a funny thing. A collection of stressors and celebrations. I have learned to appreciate them all - in their own little ways. Appreciating everything not only makes it a little easier to manage the times that used to send me into a downward spiral, but it allows me to appreciate the peaceful times even more deeply. It is often darkest before the dawn. When we so badly desire new results, we attract the challenges that make us worthy of reaping the rewards we have asked for. For whatever reason, these challenges rarely show up how we expect. We often reject them and think they keep us from getting what we want. I wonder if we would treat them differently if we knew what was on the other side... that the challenges were the first part of the success we've been asking for...? What if we took the approach that every time something bad happened, that something good was about to happen right after? Would that make the challenges easier to deal with? Would we be able to recover from the 'unexpected' more quickly? What if our pain was part of our pleasure? Coach Nick and I are excited to share this week's conversation with our guest, Janna Willoughby-Lohr. Janna has used the trauma she experienced in her 20's to create a business whose purpose is built into the very fabric of its existence. Her company, Papercraft Miracles, specializes in handcrafted paper art and gifts that bring meaning to people's lives. Janna founded Papercraft Miracles while still in college in 2003 and has been building the brand ever since. She was awarded a $25,000 Ignite Buffalo Small Business Grant in 2018 and was named 40 Under 40 for Stationery & Gifts from Stationery Trends Magazine in 2019. Papercraft Miracles thrived in 2020, despite the pandemic and they have done custom projects for major brands such as Twitter and Capital One. In 2021, the comany landed a contract to create half a million seed bombs to be included in Lowe's Spring Garden Giveaway event across the country. Janna is also very involved in the entrepreneurial space. She is a board member and chairs the membership committee of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Buffalo/Niagara Chapter and is a founding member of the chapter's Diversity & Inclusion Task Force, working to promote equity and representation for all women business owners. She is also the host of Reach the Stars Podcast-- a collection of conversations with cool people who do cool things. Each week, she brings inspiring stories of persistence, passion and purpose.

Thermodynamics is what makes coffee roasting possible. Having an understanding and control of it is what makes great roasting possible. But what aspects of thermodynamics should we be familiar with and what methods of controlling it are best? In this month's installment of the Rate of Rise series to you by Roast magazine we will be addressing these questions and much more with none other than Candice Madison.  Candice Madison has worked in specialty coffee for over a decade, as an accomplished barista, roaster, and trainer.

Dr Heval Kelli will never forget when during his third year as a medical student, a man kept coming to the clinic complaining about being hungry. The team was checking for underlying health issues, when one of Dr Kelli’s attendings took his history and realised that this patient was not able to get access to food. Dr Kelli came away from this episode with a lesson that still shapes him as a doctor: “If you treat everyone as you want your family to be treated, you will do well.” Ankur Kalra’s guest is Dr Heval Mohammed Kelli, cardiologist at Northside Hospital Cardiovascular Institute, and a member of the ACC Diversity and Inclusion Task Force. In this inspirational and emotional interview, Dr Kelli talks about his journey, facing and overcoming obstacles, and the power of compassion. Just after 9/11, Heval, the 18-year-old Syrian Kurdish refugee found a job as a dishwasher. At this point, he was the sole provider of his family. The pressure that comes from being poor did not leave him for many years. Today, he is firm believer in giving back to underserved communities by spreading awareness within the medical community. As he says, well-meaning people of privilege are sometimes afraid to act. What we need is more people to bridge the gap and find ways to help each other. How can we use our power and privilege to serve? How did his experiences shape Dr Kelli to become an ambassador for his community? What is his message to our listeners? Questions and comments can be sent to “podcast@radciffe-group.com” and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode. Guest @hevalkellimd, hosted by @AnkurKalraMD. Produced by @RadcliffeCARDIO.

Mill Valley in Marin County is one of the 10 most segregated cities in the Bay Area. During the rise of protests following George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis last year, Mill Valley Mayor Sashi McEntee claimed the Black Lives Matter movement was “not of immediate local importance.” That summer, community activists held protests and sit-ins demanding a public apology from the mayor and plans for lasting change. In response, the City Council created the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force, but in February the City Council rejected half of the task force's proposals and refused to accept its recommendations. The fight for racial justice is happening in cities across the Bay, but what has it looked like in the Bay Area's whitest and wealthiest county? Guest: Lorenzo Morotti, Marin Independent Journal reporter and Amber Allen-Peirson, activist in Marin City and Mill Valley. Episode transcript here: http://bit.ly/2MIEvGm.

On today's show Dr. Drew Colfax runs the local Coronavirus numbers and talks about our incoming shipment of COVID vaccines. He also answers listener questions about showering after shopping, immunity after recovering from COVID, and when hospice workers will receive the vaccine. Followed by a special excerpt of Mendocino County’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Force, formed to tackle inequities in the pandemic’s impact on the local Latinx Community, and systemic racism in general.

December 7, 2020 — On Wednesday night, Ukiah City Councilman Juan Orozco became the city’s first Latino mayor. He took over from newly re-elected Councilman Douglas Crane, and will serve in the role for one year. Orozco has been on the council since 2018. Josefina Duenas, who was newly elected on November third, was seated on the Council for a four-year term. Orozco was born in Mexico and came to Mendocino County with his sister as a young man. He worked in the vineyards and orchards of Anderson Valley and started learning English and taking classes at Mendocino College. He went on to Sonoma State, where he minored in Chicano and Latino studies. Then he got an emergency teaching credential at Dominican University, which allowed him to work as a substitute teacher. We’ll hear from the new mayor and Roseanne Ibarra, who is the co-founder of the Mendocino Latinx Alliance and part of the recently created Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force, which succeeded in getting the county to publish covid information in Spanish and provide simultaneous translation of the press conferences with the county health officer. She’s also the director of community well-being for the county’s three Adventist hospitals. All these roles make her acutely aware of various disparities, especially now, that 65% of the known covid infections are among the county’s Latino population. It’s been a tough year. But there’s also been a groundswell of organization in the Latino community, with the formation of the task force and a new promotores de salud program, which trains Spanish-speaking community health workers to educate people about how to stay healthy and safe. Both initiatives are likely to remain relevant, even after the pandemic subsides. With Orozco working to hire more bilingual staff and working to get city communications out in Spanish, both community leaders are hopeful that more of the population will feel adequately represented.

Terri Winston is the executive director of Women’s Audio Mission, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization that uses music and media to attract over 2,000 underserved women and girls every year to STEM and creative technology studies. WAM’s award-winning curriculum weaves art and music with science, technology and computer programming and works to close the critical gender gap in creative technology careers. During Terri’s long career as a recording artist, songwriter, composer, recording engineer, and producer she noticed that less than 5% of the people creating music and media were woman. That led her to create WAM in 2003 while she was a tenured Professor and Director of the Sound Recording Arts Program at City College of San Francisco. Along the way Terri has composed and produced theme music for KRON-TV's "First Cut" series, Banana Republic and films that have shown on BRAVO's Independent Film Channel, French Television's Cine Cinemas and major festivals all over the world. She has received an ASCAP songwriting award, Boston Music Award and Bay Area Music Award, is currently serving on the Recording Academy's (Grammy's) National Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion and The Academy of Country Music's Diversity and Inclusion Task Force. During the interview we spoke about playing in a punk band and working with producer Lenny Kaye, how Women’s Audio Mission came about, women’s lack of exposure to audio, the perception of women in the studio, and much more. On the intro I’ll take a look at the ways streaming numbers are manipulated, and Steinway Piano’s secret underground vault.

The story of The Scottsboro Boys, which began in 1931 and evolved over the course of 80 plus years, has inspired books, documentaries, songs, movies, and even a Broadway musical. But the significance of this case transcends pop culture and speaks to racial injustice in this country in a way that feels timely and relevant for right now. About the Guest Moses T.
