John Graybill talks with Kathryn Bryant of the Speak Foundation about their newest project, "LGMD News", a magazine. This magazine is the first ever dedicated to bringing up to date research from clinicians to peoples homes via a magazine. In this magazine, LGMD News, you will only read about limb girdle muscular dystrophy, what research is happening, what organizations you can connect with-dealing with your specific type of LGMD, ask an Expert-where a doctor answers questions people submitted, Spotlighting an organization, basically anything you want to know about LGMD or where to go, you need to get this magazine. You can subscribe by going to The Speak Foundation and joining their "LGMD Patient Network" by clicking on that tab. It's so important to be a part of a patient led movement where "you" get to be the driving force towards a treatment instead of waiting for an organization that isn't patient led. The magazine comes out 4 times a year and is a MUST have if you have LGMD.

Jen Ives and John Graybill talk with Kathryn Bryant of the Speak Foundation. Kathryn shares her limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I and how this disease saved her life. Kathryn has gone on to form the non-profit organization, from winning a contest, called "The Speak Foundation". The organization's mission is to improve the quality of life for those living with muscular dystrophy. Kathryn shares how important it is for those living with muscular dystrophy to be a voice in their future. This is what the Speak Foundation is doing. The Speak Foundation has a "Patient Network" that they would like for all those with LGMD to sign up for. The patient network is a way for the Speak Foundation to get information directly to you regarding a personal care attendant for helping you get ready for work, research that is being done, grants you may qualify for to help pay your bills due to covid, a mobility scooter and more. Kathryn emphasizes the importance of having a community led by individuals with the disease in making sure our voice is heard in the process of finding a cure/treatment. The Speak Foundation also hosts a yearly conference for individuals with muscular dystrophy in Atlanta, Georgia. This is a 3 day weekend retreat that is very handicap friendly in terms of hotel, getting around town, the time of day they meet.

In Episode 6 of Series 5 of The Rights Track, Todd is talking with Jasmine O'Connor and Emily Wyman. Jasmine is CEO of Anti-Slavery International, which has been fighting to end slavery since its foundation in 1839. Emily leads the Rights Lab's Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning and manages strategic partnerships between with external partners in civil society, business and government, to enhance multi-sector cooperation against modern slavery. Together with Todd they discuss the connections between UN Sustainable Goals SDG 8.7 on tackling modern slavery and SDG 17 on revitalising the Global Partnership for sustainable development. 00.00 – 05.40 Todd begins by asking Jasmine to outline how NGOs bring about change.  The ASI approach is to listen to victims and those vulnerable to slavery. To understand the underlying causes / drivers of modern slavery. To inform the planning of effective solutions. Common themes emerge in terms of who is vulnerable to slavery: people facing discrimination people in poverty people vulnerable to global shocks e.g. the COVID pandemic There is a need to understand the mechanisms by which people become “tricked and trapped” into forms of modern slavery, from the perspective of the victims themselves and to understand that entrapment is not the victim's fault. 05.40 – 07.47 Jasmine describes the socio – economic factors which increase vulnerability: market conditions which drive down prices in supply chains lack of government oversight of supply chains  children are vulnerable to being exploited online various (legal) loopholes used by traffickers Understanding the systematic way people are tricked and trapped means working closely with employers, educators, and organisations and agencies across the whole range of SDGs.   07.47 – 10.33 Todd moves on to ask how ASI engages with different networks. Two elements are identified. Partnering with agencies at “grass roots level” is key. Engaging with governments, multi-national corporations and other NGOs to share information. Example: ASI's internal survey of partner institutions on impact of the COVID pandemic reveals: 51% reported evidence of increased slavery, trafficking and child exploitation 73% reported their governments had not included needs and rights of the vulnerable in responses to the pandemic ASI use data to lobby governments and UN agencies to ensure awareness of new vulnerabilities to slavery due to the COVID pandemic. 10.33 – 15.20 Todd comments on the disproportionate effect of COVID19 on certain social groups  and agrees how important it is to understand and act on new vulnerabilities. He brings in Emily Wyman to discuss the role of partnerships and data and how the academic research can plug into the work of NGOs working on modern slavery.  Emily explains that a key role of researchers like her is to scan and review all the existing data and information that exists and to work out the impact that organisations like ASI are having in the field of modern slavery.  She describes ASI as an organisation that generates and makes available large amounts of information about the work it does and the impacts it is having. Reviewing all this information can help pinpoint gaps in interventions and provide intelligence to NGOs on which interventions are working. Researchers can also build tools to help develop effective evaluation procedures for interventions and aid efficient use of resources. Emily emphasises how important it is to work with NGOs to understand their needs and build strong relationships, and to understand the key drivers of modern slavery. Listening is key to strong relationships that can end modern slavery.  15.20 – 18.38 Emily mentions The Rights Lab's Kathryn Bryant's work with the Walk Free initiative which showed a need to improve the evidence base around modern slavery which has led her and colleagues to work on some practical tools and templates to support NGOs in the monitoring and evaluation of their projects. These cover three areas: Goals Outcomes Indicators The work has also included the development of an indicator bank, recommendations on conducting rights-based monitoring and evaluation, advice on using survivor knowledge and experiences and the development of technological solutions for field-based work. The aim is to improve the evidence base to identify high impact interventions and quick win solutions. 18.38 – 22.02 Todd asks Jasmine if and how ASI uses a theory of change. Jasmine explains: ASI have a “global” theory, which is adjusted for specific local circumstances.  Theories are not always successful but need to be trialed by organisations to find what does work. Example: Descent based slavery, Niger, a project focusing on educating children which leads to empowerment and an awareness of individual rights and helps break the bonds of slavery. The ASI theory of change involves working with families, communities, governments and NGOs to evolve community-generated solutions to reduce poverty and vulnerability to slavery. Education is key Jasmine says it's crucial that donors invest in experiments and trials to find out what works and then if it works invest in it. 22.02 – 26.00 Emily describes the issues around building partnerships and collaboration between research and front-line organisations. There is a large number of organisations but a lack of co-ordination between them There is a lack of evidence / evaluation Competition for scarce funding resources  Note: the promising practices database found just 179 evaluations in 1500 organisations. The evidence base needs to be improved quickly Strong evaluations are a route to better funding. Emily says that her work is indicating that collaboration around the area of data and methods is looking very promising with lots of goodwill and willingness from organisations. 26.00 – end Todd asks both guests about the UK government's planned merger of the Department for International Development and the Foreign Office. Jasmine's is concerned to ensure that the 0.7% of GDP for projects which address the SDGs remains intact. She says ASI will continue to lobby hard for the continued efforts to tackle modern slavery. Emily fears that the budget will be threatened but agrees that strong advocacy is needed to hold government to account.

Shining brightly in the Podcast Diva spotlight today is the marvellous Kate Erickson. Kate is host of the podcast ‘Kate’s Take’ - the audio blog for Entrepreneur on Fire - where she shares a behind-the scenes look at how to run a 7 figure business and step by step lessons on how to create, grow and monetise a business. That’s because Kate is content and community leader at EOFire and the other half, in business and life, of Entrepreneur on Fire host John Lee Dumas. Kate is also the author of The Fire Path - a beginner’s guide to growing your online business. If you’ve listened to Kate’s Take or know anything about Entrepreneur on Fire you’ll know Kate and John have achieved massive success through the podcast and the related activities coming out of EOFire. But you might not know that much of that success is down to the way they run their business and the fantastic systems and processes Kate has put in place to make this multi-faceted business work. We might not all be running million dollar enterprises but we can all make use of systems and processes to improve our own podcasting work flow, businesses and lives. So I’m delighted and excited to talk to Kate about how she got into podcasting, her fears and how she overcomes them, what podcasting’s done for her, and how implementing systems and processes transformed her life and business, and can do the same for you. It’s all there in episode 10 of Podcast Divas; Podcast systems for success with Kate Erickson. It’s certainly got me fired up to do more work on my systems and processes and I hope it inspires you to do the same. “Recording a podcast and having my own podcast was the scariest thing in the world to me at the point I launched my podcast.” In episode 10 of Podcast divas you find out: What Entrepreneur On Fire is and how Kate became involved with it Why Kate’s first business didn’t work out and her move to becoming a successful entrepreneur The two reasons Kate started her own podcast What scares Kate most and how she curbs her fear Kate’s evolving avatar Listening to your audience Kate’s healthy obsession How Kate found her groove The transforming power of systems and processes A three step method to record and systemise your podcast process How a simple piece of paper is all you need for step one (plus pen of course) The good thing about repetitive tasks The tiny steps of researching guests How determining efficiencies is the fun part Why you want to automate, delegate, batch What if you don’t have a team The magic of batching The danger of context switching and what it means Why its good to theme your days What to do when you’re interrupted Why out of sight out of mind is a good policy How to figure out and find your perfect listener The stepping stones of fear and how to use them How Kate went from thinking people wouldn’t want to hear from her to getting up on stage and delivering a presentation  “This is the fun part, this is when we get to actually start saving ourselves time.” Kate’s #1 tip for starting a podcast Figure out who your perfect listener is: What are they struggling with right now? Where do they want to be? What are their dreams and aspirations? Because once you find out who that person is, you can go and out and start finding them, in online communities, in the comments section of other people’s blogs, (even if you don’t have your own blog,) and join that conversation. Start a conversation with your audience and people will listen when you start your podcast because you’re giving them what they want to know. “When we have this huge thing that we’re afraid of, we don’t have to go from where we are today to overcoming that, but we just need to take one step towards overcoming that fear.” Kate’s nominated Podcast Divas Jen and Danielle of She Percolates  How to find Kate EOFire.com Links mentioned The Fire Path: a beginners guide to growing your online business by Kate Erickson The Changeability Podcast with Kathryn Bryant and Julian Illman The One Thing by Gary Keller Thank you Thanks to Kate for sharing her time with us and for being an inspiring Podcast Diva, and thanks to you for spending your time with us.

TOPICS DISCUSSED  We cover a lot of ground in this podcast by reviewing Kathryn's book, Changeability.  A top rate book on how your mind impacts everything in our lives and how we can use it to realize our dreams. But our dreams don't just happen.  It takes effort on your part which of course starts with taking the first step.  We talk a lot about how our mindset impacts our ability to take that first step.  Which begs the question: "Are you your own worst enemy?" Is it possible that your thoughts instead of someone else higher up in the corporate ladder might actually be holding you back? Albert Einstein once said: “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” Changeability is all about our ability to change. If you think about it our success in life, in business or in our careers comes down to our change-ability. The ability to change our attitudes, to change our mindset. We may not like to admit it but we all have limiting beliefs. Digging deep and discovering those limiting beliefs is the first step in overcoming them. However to become mindful of these beliefs we first need to understand our vision. VISION What is your vision? Kathryn tells us one of the key things she has noticed with people who are successful in their work is their mindset and the vision they have of what they want to achieve. Do you know people like this at work? People who appear to be singularly focused on one goal or one position. Believe it or not those people aren't machines. They've simply taken the time to define their vision so they know what they want, they've set their mind on it and they have a plotted a course to get there. Are you like these folks or are you more like the majority of people who go through life without a vision of what they want to become?  If so, it's ok. You know why? Because guess who controls your vision? That's right you do. And the great thing about this?  Because you control it, you can also change it. This won't happen however without a conscience effort on your part. You need to take some time for yourself which could start with something as simple as being silent. Try it out. Make some quiet time for yourself today and think about the possibilities. Think about where you are and where you want to go. If you're already thinking you don't have any time, guess what? congratulations. You've just discovered a limiting belief. We all have the same 168 hours in a week. I don't get any more time to think than you do, which I why I said MAKE some time for yourself today. Ask yourself, What do you really want out of life, your business or your career? Once you know what you want, once you have that vision, you can begin to set your goals, and start moving towards them. Now I admit this is not an easy process to do. Why? Because too often you become overwhelmed with everything going on in your life that you forget about the one person who can have the most impact on it, which of course is you. This is exactly what the phrase “Seeing the forest through the trees” means. The trees you see are from the daily grind going on all around you. If you focus on the trees, you won't see the forest. You won't be able to create a vision for yourself. Kathryn explains that a vision without goals is essentially a dream. If you want to take control of your life you need to set your vision, establish your goals determine your next steps and start marching forward. Julian believes taking that first step can be the hardest part.
