Podcast appearances and mentions of julie porter

In this enlightening episode, Andrea Samadi welcomes resiliency expert and author Horacio Sanchez to discuss his latest book, "Unlocking School Bias: Using Neuroscience to Improve Student Outcomes." Together, they delve into how educators can effectively address bias in their classrooms by exploring neuroscience-based strategies. Horacio shares the significance of understanding subconscious biases, such as confirmation bias and impact bias, and their influence on students' well-being and achievement. He emphasizes the role of educators in creating inclusive environments by being aware of their own biases and adopting practical strategies that foster positive student interactions. This episode provides invaluable insights for anyone looking to make impactful changes in educational settings. Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/V78873aZPBk On today's EP365 "Unlocking School Bias" you will learn to explore your own and your students' biases and discover: ✔ The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience. ✔ Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life. ✔Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students' actions. ✔How patterns in one's environment create biases and affect the brain's development Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 7 years ago now, with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to help us to APPLY this research in our daily lives. Welcome back! It's always good to take some time away, for travel and family time, and it feels incredible to routine back to recording and routine. Thank you for tuning back in after our summer break where I hope you have taken some time off to refresh, before diving back into the second half of 2025. For today's EP 365, we meet with someone who I first heard about on our very first interview, EP #3[i], with educator, Ron Hall, from Valley Day School, Pennsylvania on “Launching Your Neuroeducational Program.” Ron Hall mentioned it was today's guest who opened his mind to connecting the brain to his classrooms, many years ago, and he has never looked back. Today, we welcome back resiliency expert, author Horacio Sanchez to the podcast for the 4th time. We met him first on EP 74[ii] on “How to Improve Brain Science to Improve School Climate”, EP 111[iii] on “Finding Solutions to the Poverty Problem: and again on EP 177[iv] where we gathered a team of experts to dive into the most significant insights they've noticed over the years in neuroscience. When we first met Horacio, we focused on his book The Education Revolution [ii]published by Corwin Press, that addresses the decline in empathy, increase in obesity, and the impact of implicit bias on minority students. Our conversation turned to focus on the problems we were seeing in the world at that moment (July 2020) highlighting the need for racial change through an understanding of race and culture. I knew that Horacio was deep into his next book, The Poverty Problem: How Education Can Promote Resilience and Counter Poverty's Impact on Brain Development that we went deep into on EP 74. Today we meet with Horacio Sanchez to review his latest book, Unlocking School Bias: Using Neuroscience to Improve Student Outcomes[v] that was released in February of this year, through Corwin Press. His most recent book, Unlocking School Bias ends the confusion around bias and provides educators with research and strategies that enable them to effectively address bias in the classroom and school in appropriate and productive ways. Learn to explore your own and your students' biases and discover: The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students' actions How patterns in one's environment create biases and affect the brain's development Implicit bias occurs subconsciously and so quickly that the conscious brain is unaware that it happened. Yet, with mindful practice and reflection, we can rewrite the automated processes in our brains, stop our subconscious minds from determining our thoughts and behaviors, and help our students feel safe and successful in school. Let's meet Horacio Sanchez and explore our own biases first, and then see how this understanding can help us with our students in the classroom, or with the athletes we coach, or in our workplace. Welcome back for the 4th time Horacio! It's incredible to see you again. What have you been up to (other than traveling and working in schools?) INTRO: Horacio, I know that implicit bias came up on our first interview, and I've had other guest speak about this topic, but I wonder what made you want to write this book about Unlocking School Bias? Q1: After reading the Foreword by David Fink, where he mentioned that “he lived in a world where everyone around him constantly made assumptions about how people with dyslexia and adhd thought, felt and performed in school” and that “you can't dodge these assumptions (that we know are biases). I started to see things differently, especially as you know the work I do day to day is around helping students who are struggling readers. I want to be sure that I am aware of my own biases. With the insights from David's Foreword, why is it so important (or critical) that we check ourselves every day to stop our subconscious mind from determining our thoughts and behaviors? How can we do this? Q2: How do you see biases impacting student wellbeing and academic achievement? Q3: This topic has become popular over the past few years. What are some common misconceptions about biases that are harmful? Q4: What have you uncovered with the latest psychology, education and neuroscience research that can help us to break through the bias barrier? How can we use neuroscience to understand how our brains produce bias, predict when it's probable, and prepare ourselves for appropriate responses? Q5: Chapter 1 The Birth of Bias you cover the first year of life of a baby, and how “in-group bias is an unattended outcome of infant-mother attachment” as well as how a “fear of strangers” first occurs in the early years of life. How can this brain-science now help teachers in the classroom with their students? What about for those who work with athletes? Or the corporate space? Q6: In Chapter 2 The Cup is Half Empty on the negativity bias, you cover in depth how “negativity bias is already present in the first year of life” and that “we are alerted to negative things in our environment faster than positive ones” and that “we remember negative experiences longer and more vividly.” This chapter was hard for me to read because I work hard to focus on the positive side of things every day, squashing the negatives, and wondered if brain science will go against all the hard work that I put into this. What does neuroscience say about the negativity bias, and how can we use this understanding to improve results in our schools, sports and workplaces? Q6B: The part of this chapter on change interested me, as I do come across your example from the book on change in my day to day experience. What can we do to help us through change, knowing how hard it is for the human brain?  Q7: In Chapter 3, Believe it or Not on Confirmation Bias, you cover how “our brain is programmed to see things in the environment that support existing beliefs” and that “research shows that teachers' beliefs about students might be the strongest predictor of outcomes.” This reminded me of what David Fink wrote about in the Foreword, that was behind the reason for why he has devoted his life to “addressing the biases that stunt student achievement and well-being.” How can we combat confirmation bias and update our belief system?  Q8: Horacio, I love the work of Julie Porter, who created the graphic that accompanies your book. She explains each chapter, with an explanation of each bias, as well as strategies that educators can use. Since I'm always looking to extend the learning to our sports environments and workplaces, is there anything we should do different in our sports environments or workplaces as we are navigating these biases? Q9: As I was reading your book, and thinking of these subconscious biases that we all have, it made me think of something that came up in my brain scan evaluation with Dr. Shane Creado, after we recorded EP #84.[vi] Dr. Creado asked me if I had ever done any shadow work. At the time I hadn't and I didn't even know what it was. I thought it must have been important, so I've since started to look at Carl Jung's work, and I wonder, how are our subconscious biases similar to our shadow-sides, or the hidden parts of ourselves that we can explore to improve our self-awareness? Q10: What are some final thoughts of what we can do with the “200 milliseconds where our subconscious mind has shaped our perceptions and influenced our behaviors?” What can we do to lessen the impact of implicit biases and create schools, sports or work environments where we can all flourish?” Horacio, I want to thank you very much for coming back to the podcast for a 4th time. What's next on the horizon for you? We need to have you back for a 5th time, which will be a record for us on the podcast, beating out all guests.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” On this episode we will cover: ✔ Brain Fact: DID YOU KNOW THAT "95% of the decisions we make take place in our subconscious mind?" (Deane Alban). ✔ A review of EP #207 with Greg Link with his tips to INTENTIONALLY create a legacy, reading a book a week.  ✔ Applying the 7 Levels of Awareness to our Daily Life to Be INTENTIONAL With the Life We Create. ✔REMINDER: To see and recognize the "spirit" in everyone.  What does this mean to you? On today's episode we will be diving into this quote…to see how much of our life we really do have control over. At the end of this episode I hope to show that with being intentional about every action we are taking, that we don't leave anything up to chance, and that we can in fact, create an exciting life, and future, without relying on chance or luck, and there's magic in the creation process, that illuminates the fact that there's much more to who we are. I am not just my name, Andrea Samadi (or the human being you see), there's a spiritual side to me, and there's a spiritual side to you. Do you see it? Do you see the spiritual side in others? Once you see it, you won't be able to see anything else, and I hope we can all begin to see the “spirit” in each other. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. I'm Andrea Samadi, (and I hope by now you see I'm more than just my name, and that you know the “why” behind this podcast without me saying it each week. With that in mind, for this week's Brain Fact Friday, I want to go back to EP #207[i] with my dear friend Greg Link, the cofounder of CoveyLink who worked directly with Dr. Stephen Covey for many years, with our episode on “Unleashing Greatness with Neuroscience, SEL, Trust and the 7 Habits.”  On this episode, Greg opened up with the quote I read at the start of this episode, from his back porch in Sedona, Arizona, reminding me just how much the 7 Habits connected to the brain, social and emotional learning and to this magical thing we call life. It was an extraordinary opportunity to speak with Greg on this day, as he hadn't spoken publicly for almost a decade, since I saw him last, and when I got the prompting to ask him to come on the podcast, there was no way I was going to ignore it, or worry about whether he would say no, or not. Just a reminder, for those who haven't listened to episode #207 (go back and check it out—here's the link to the YouTube interview[ii]) but I met Greg Link when I worked in the motivational speaking industry, when he was brought to help some of the speakers to gain more traction, and solve some of their problems with his experiences. Greg had recently skyrocketed Dr. Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People book that sold over 40 million copies since its first publication, and many leaders in the industry were looking to learn from his success. On this episode, Greg gave us a running list of the books that influenced his life, and urged us to do the same to leave a powerful legacy behind. As we are now in the final weeks of Q3 in 2022, I've focused the past few Brain Fact Fridays on Building a Stronger 2.0 version of ourselves, so we can all get a running start to 2023, and when I was interviewing Greg Link, I knew it was going to be an epic interview that I would refer back to often. I just didn't know how powerful it was going to be at the time, but looking back now, connecting the dots backwards, after just a few months, this episode now has over 1100 downloads. I knew after we recorded that episode that I'd need to do a follow up and be sure to highlight his Legacy Building Activity. With that in mind, for this week's Brain Fact Friday, I want to take a closer look at HOW exactly we take control of our life, how do we build a stronger 2.0 version of ourselves in pursuit of whatever it is we are doing, and leave a meaningful legacy for others to learn from? How do we do this when we know from this week's Brain Fact that “95% of our decisions take place in our subconscious mind?” (Deane Alban)[iii] How can we be sure that we create the future that we want, and help others to do the same, and leave a meaningful legacy, when most of our decisions are made subconsciously? To build a stronger, 2.0 version of ourselves, intentionally, I'm going to follow Greg Link's advice from our interview, and keep learning, reading and shaping who I am, since “learning is an active process (where me must learn to access it) at the right moment and apply it in real world contexts.” (Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, Professor of Education, Psychology and Neuroscience) who joined us on EP #100.[iv] When we can see the power that each of us holds, (our spiritual side) we should ALL be capable of doing whatever it is that we want to do, by putting our minds to work, rolling up our sleeves, and intentionally creating something out of nothing with time and effort. In our interview, Greg suggested that in order to leave a legacy that you are proud of, why not document the books you read, or the people you have studied, that took you to where you are today. His suggestion was so powerful, that I immediately contacted Julie Porter, a good friend of Horacio Sanchez, our 3rd time returning guest from EP #111[v] and asked if she could create a graphic of Greg's book list, with the top lessons he's learned in his career, to inspire others to do the same. You can review the image in the show notes, and I've also put a link to it in the resource section if you want to print a copy. To Review Greg Link's Interview Take-Aways: He talked about: How “we are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience” He challenges us to all read a book a week and then ponder, contemplate, and connect the dots with what you are reading. This will inspire you and “people who are inspired are 52% more productive than those who are engaged.” This will help you to “Find your voice, and then help others to find theirs.” (8th Habit). We captured the 22 books that Greg mentioned inspired him on the graphic Julie created for us in the show notes, and he also listed other notable authors he's learned from. Reminding us that “you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So, you have to trust that the dots will connect in the future” with whatever it is you are doing. He talked about Jack Canfield's idea of taking “inspired action” and to listen to those promtings as you never know where they will lead you. Have you ever had a gut feeling to reach out to someone, maybe someone you haven't spoken to in years? I never ignore those promptings! Then he told us about Dr. Stephen Covey's advice that “you've got to carry your own weather with you. You are bigger than your weather” which came from Greg's story of how he almost didn't go to work with Dr. Covey in the beginning because he would have to work in Utah, after he's been enjoying the wonderful climate in San Diego, CA for some time. He ended up following Dr. Covey's advice, and went back and forth between the two states to make this work. Finally, Greg talked about the many connections between the 7 Habits, SEL and neuroscience. They are there when you look for them. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: WITH THE 7 LEVELS OF AWARENESS Greg Link built a powerful empire, that he credits to his wife Annie, who saw the vision before he did, and listened to the many promptings they both received. He documented his career for us to all learn from, with the books that inspired his path, and encouraged us to do the same. So, if “95% of our decisions take place in our subconscious mind” I don't know about you, but I want to be sure that I'm being intentional with the actions I'm creating, to push me forwards, rather than backwards. To do this, I will continue with reading as close to a book a week as I can get, and share what I'm learning with you on this podcast. But there's something else I think we can all do, to be intentional with our growth and this included being aware of the 7 LEVELS OF AWARENESS.   Are you aware of them? They are the 7 stages of consciousness in a person's life, showing the progression from where we all start out (knowing nothing), to where we begin to express our own talents, abilities and individuality. We can either ignore our own special talents, (or our spirit) or we can with discipline, step out and become someone great, unique, inspirational (like Greg, or others I have studied and have show cased on this podcast). These 7 stages of consciousness can be seen often expressed in music,[vi] psychology,[vii] or even the arts where you see the progression a person takes over the span of their lifetime, towards mastery, or internal wisdom/enlightenment. To close out this week's Brain Fact Friday, where we looked at how “95% of our decisions take place in our subconscious mind” (Deane Alban) I wanted to highlight the activity that Greg Link shared with us so that we don't leave anything up to chance or luck. Keep moving confidently towards your goals, studying, learning and growing and think about where you are in the 7 Levels of Awareness. The 7 Levels of Awareness: Where are you? We all begin at the same place: Survival at the bottom of Barrett's chart, or the Animal level on the second chart I took from my notes from my days working in the seminar industry. Many people get stuck in this “non-thinking” state where they are not contributing to society. No one wants to be at this bottom level, so they aspire for more. Each diagram shows how we can move up towards Mastery, where we step out into the world, with our unique talents, contributing something to society, with our knowledge. It's the middle steps where our transformation occurs. As we progress up these levels of awareness, as we aspire to be and do more with our lives, our relationships strengthen, along with our self-esteem, and we begin to express our individual talents and abilities, stepping away from the crowd. Once we take action towards our goals, discipline will keep us on track, along with time, effort, study and experience. Stay in the game….until you look up one day, and you realize you are doing the thing that existed only in your dreams. After a lot of experience, you've now hit the Mastery, or Sage level where you've acquired wisdom, and now, like Greg Link did with his book list, it's up to us to share what we've learned with others, so that we can help others move past these lower levels of awareness, and intentionally create a life of contribution that they can look back on, at the end of their life, and be proud of. We must control our own destiny, or someone else will!! I hope this episode has got you thinking about how unique each of are (the spiritual side that we all have) along with how we can all further develop our unique talents and abilities by reading a book a week like Greg Link suggested and then compiling our list of 20 books to share, to create our legacy, and move up the 7 levels of awareness towards mastery where we will be living a purpose-filled life, contributing our special and unique talents and abilities with the world. That seems to be the meaning of life to me…I'll see you next week.

Black Americans are far more likely to be denied mortgages, according to Zillow an online real-estate firm.This means homeownership may be out of reach for many people, but Charlotte programs are trying to help residents achieve the American Dream and own a home. “In Charlotte right now, homeownership among people of color has dropped," President of DreamKey Partners, Julie Porter said. “For white folks, it's about 77%, for black and Hispanic people it's in the low 40's."Porter says they're working to create more opportunities for people of color to own a home by creating more affordable housing and offering down payment loan options through the House Charlotte Program.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/money/markets/real-estate/homeownership-among-poc-has-dropped/275-29216198-4cc5-45f0-ad32-e58f219e7d1fThe average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline plunged 19 cents over the past two weeks to $4.86 per gallon.Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said Sunday that the continued decline comes as crude oil costs also fall.“Assuming oil prices do not shoot up from here, motorists may see prices drop another 10-20 cents as the oil price cuts continue making their way to street level,” Lundberg said in a statement.The average price at the pump is down 24 cents over the past month, but it's $1.66 higher than it was one year ago.Nationwide, the highest average price for regular-grade gas was in the San Francisco Bay Area, at $6.14 per gallon. The lowest average was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at $4.19 per gallon.According to the survey, the average price of diesel dropped 13 cents since June 24 to $5.76 a gallon.Gas prices in much of the United States shot past the $5 a gallon mark last month before a slight drop, and Americans have responded by driving a bit less, two sets of data show. June gas sales are about 5% below pre-pandemic 2019 levels and 2.6% below a year ago, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/average-us-gasoline-price-plunges/507-c92fccad-9bfa-4d2d-a5eb-571556635fa3Watch Wake Up Charlotte each weekday morning from 4:30 to 7 a.m. on WCNC Charlotte, and as always, join the conversation on social media using #WakeUpCLT!

We are outraged by the cover of this week's book, in which the depiction of Bruce is not the pouting John Barrowman we know and love to hate! Who is this imposter?! Whoever he is, he's smooth talking Julie Porter, and tormenting her friend Josh, who is determined to get into the Sweet Valley High fraternity. Meanwhile Jess's dramatic career takes a terpsichorean turn, Jeffrey shows his own dancing skills and we discover that Sweet Valley parties are a lot more edgy than we might have expected - sex alcove, anyone?

Episode 11 is a cracker as I was privileged and honoured to speak with a pioneer/trail blazer for football in this country and our Illawarra region.The interviewee only had two years of junior soccer in the early 1970s when she was 10 and 11. After a few years off, due to girls not being allowed to play in their teenage years Julie Porter burst onto the Australian Women's soccer scene in the late 1970s firstly with the Bulli ThunderBirds.Her talent and work ethic took her into regional teams, state teams and the Australian Women's National team. She is a talented soccer player/coach but above this she has great respect of where she came from and who supported her throughout her magnificent career. Humble and articulate, Julie is a soccer person who deserves more recognition about her journey as do the rest of her peers from the late 1970s and 1980s. As these women gave so much to Australian Women's soccer in its infancy, which ultimately gave the sport great foundations in this country.I apologise if it times the interview sounds disjointed, this was solely my fault due to technical and research issues. Regardless Julie's journey shines through and was a great pleasure to record, please enjoy!Music by Luke Nolan

Julie Porter, the newly named Legislative Inspector General, talks with Craig Dellimore about her mission to investigate a range of complaints against lawmakers, and the challenges she faces.
