In this chilling episode, we delve into the horrific crimes of Harvey Louis Carignan, infamously known as "The Hammer Man," "The Hitcher," and "The Want Ad Killer." Born in Fargo, North Dakota, in 1927, Carignan's early life was marred by abuse, but it's his gruesome actions in adulthood that cement his place in the annals of true crime. Though many times the background of a killer can be informative when trying to analyze and perhaps learn to better understand the motivation for their brutal crimes, we won't dwell on his early years. Instead opting to skip ahead to his adulthood. Some people do foolish things amidst a midlife crisis, Carignan embarked on a spree of sadistic violence spanning multiple states over numerous years. Starting with the disappearance of 15-year-old Kathy Miller in 1973, we unravel a series of brutal attacks that terrorized the Pacific Northwest and beyond.We explore Carignan's early crimes - the heinous acts, his evasion of justice, and the ultimate downfall that led to nearly five decades behind bars. Join us as we piece together the timeline of terror, revealing the twisted mind of a violent, and often times bizarrely unpredictable man.  Ghost Wax is a Fantasy Horror Podcast: Owen Voncid is the last Reclaimer.

Is that just the best you have ever heard? Yeah. Kathy and Shannon share in their book, they share the finer points of a comprehensive change process, the challenges, the triumphs, and the real emotion involved during the quest for success and their endeavors. In the book, they each describe the professional journey from their unique perspective and the highlights of an endearing friendship. I love it. That was formed along the way. The story will inspire female leaders and everybody that's listening. I bet you fellas could get some out of this, too. In any organization, showcasing an example of high-performing women thriving in an intense and fast-paced world. These ladies are role models for those juggling, passionate, fulfilling careers alongside life's complexities. Such as dual career marriages and raising children. Erin: What is applied positive psychology?Kathy: The science of human flourishing. I studied it decades ago. Mr. D. Seligman, who's known as the father of positive psychology and a very renowned global psychologist, decided that if we could use psychology to take people who have issues, issues with their brain and get them neutral, why couldn't we study what could take people to neutral from neutral to flourishing. Or if you're already flourishing, more flourishing. Started this whole branch of science, and there are decades of research about it now and all the things you can do to help yourself and others flourish along the way. So he actually was one of my professors, and he just turned 80 this year. Yeah, it's a really exciting program. I just loved it so much.Erin: So why don't you guys tell us, why did you decide to write SteelToes and Stilettos?Shannon: Well, there were a few reasons. After we had both decided to leave our corporate jobs, we were spending some nice quality time together and reminiscing on how the three years we spent together, what made it magical? What made it successful? How did we do what we did? Because after that, we had gone on to different roles, took the same tools, and the same concepts, and had success in varying degrees. And so we kept just reminiscing and reflecting on why did it work so well when we were together? And we started to really think about the people portion of it, how we engage everybody, and how we are who we are. And we're a little crazy and fun, sometimes. Awesome. But we're also serious business people at the same time. And so we thought, man, maybe we have a really great story to share. And on top of the excellent business results we got, I mean, your results speak for themselves all the time. And we let our results be our calling card. And so we just said, you know what? We want to get this out into the world. And it is a true story. And it does have the nitty gritty of life that goes along with it. And there are a lot of lean books out there that are very prescriptive. This is what you should do. And we just wanted to tell what we did do and how we did it. Not as much from a technical standpoint, but more of a storytelling standpoint. And then as you mentioned, Aaron, we thought we had an exceptional connection that we created. We wanted to show how women empowering women does exist and that it can generate some amazing accomplishments when we uplift each other.And so much...

Part 1: Nickel-Sized HolesIn 1972, Laura Brock, a college student in Washington, went missing while hitchhiking; her body was found hours later. She had been beaten, raped, and murdered. Eight months later, 15-year-old Kathy Miller got into a stranger's car and vanished. When her plastic-wrapped body was discovered, the beating death she suffered and the circumstances surrounding the murders pointed to a man with the strength of ten and a chilling criminal record. A man named Harvey Carignan.For photos and sources for today's episode, check out the Murder in the Rain episode blog.Episode Host: Josh McCulloughIf you'd like more episodes of Murder in the rain, Patreon members of at least $5/mo, gain access to exclusive episodes, ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more.Follow us onInstagram https://www.instagram.com/murderintherain/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mintherain/ Twitter  https://twitter.com/murderintherain TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@em_murderintherain Website https://www.murderintherain.com/ Email murderintherain@gmail.comOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor 75 and use my code rain50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/murder-in-the-rain/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

I learned about today's guest, Kathy Miller, from another guest, Alison Martin, with Engaged Mentoring. Alison purposefully contacted me to say that Kathy should be a guest. When I met Kathy, I have to say her background in manufacturing was unique from all of my other guests. I can only imagine the challenges she faced as a female plant manager. When I heard her story, I knew she was a great example of a brave woman at work. During my conversation with Kathy, we discussed: 1. Kathy's background in manufacturing and how she was a manager and higher in a plant environment in her early 20's 2. What is applied positive psychology and how can we leverage it at work 3. The importance of positive workplace relationships 4. When gender biases start and their impact at work 5. The steps we can take to improve our relationships at work 6.

On the 19th episode of Industrial Transformation with Jeremy Frank, Jeremy speaks with Shannon Karels and Kathy Miller, co-authors of their book, "Steel Toes and Stilettos: A True Story of Women Manufacturing Leaders and Lean Transformation Success".  Since then, both Shannan and Kathy have left Corporate America and started their own business, OPSisters.  Their mission is to counsel and train individuals, teams, and businesses that want to improve results through lean processes, sound leadership principles, and the science of human flourishing.  They have deep knowledge in this field, followed by rich advice when undertaking large-scale, disruptive business transformations.

Kathy Miller is a senior manufacturing executive, professional coach, business transformation advisor, and co-author of “Steel Toes and Stilettos: A True Story of Women Manufacturing Leaders and Lean Transformation Success.” Kathy shares the emotional event that fueled her determination, and the value of prosocial behaviors at work. Kathy also talks about the most meaningful metrics: growth and profitability. She reveals how relationships between leaders and their staff can be maintained, and that showing up authentically is as important to your health as it is for  the health of the organization. https://bit.ly/TLP-317   Key Takeaways [3:40] Kathy Miller and Shannon Karels co-authored Steel Toes and Stilettos, published in late 2021. The book talks about prosocial behaviors, which are socially accepted actions that benefit other individuals or communities. Kathy explains prosocial behavior as you being able to contribute to something larger than yourself in your current role. [5:00] Selflessness at work begins with leaders setting the norms in the organization. As leaders display empathy and compassion and connect with employees, employees want to give back. It's also by taking the workers and connecting them with a larger purpose than the paycheck and benefits, displaying how the work they're doing connects to the community and makes the world a better place. [6:29] Kathy recalls campaigns in her organizations that showed how the parts they made helped to feed the world or how the cars they made provided safe transportation for families. The majority of people respond to that very positively. The book includes a lot about leading with examples and cues in the workplace that say what you are doing is meaningful. [7:14] Peter Drucker wrote that “The purpose of a business is to create a customer.” Workers are here to get and keep customers. Lean manufacturing starts with providing customer value. Whatever the profession, people want to leave the world a better place than they found it, at the end of the day. [10:15] Taking engineering through a co-op school was a practical way for Kathy to fund her way through college. When she first toured a plant with her father, she was exposed to “whooping and hollering and whistling,” but he told her, “People are people,” and “You're going to be fine,” so she wasn't intimidated. She immediately fell in love with the automotive assembly plant. It was challenging for her. [11:52] When Kathy graduated, the plan shut down, after having been in production for 50 years. It was a significant emotional event, very early in her career. All the men followed the last car down the line, not knowing what would happen with their lives. That was one of the things that fueled Kathy to want to go into leadership and help create businesses that wouldn't have to experience that. [13:05] Kathy went into engineering and marketing, but she missed the factory, so she went back into operations. [13:45] When Kathy was young, she was walking in the factory, in the instrument panel area where most of the women worked, and she thought it would be a “safe” place. Some women called her over to show her a box of chocolates shaped like private parts. Later her supervisor saw she was upset and told her that in manufacturing, she could not wear her heart on her sleeve. She learned never to cry at work! [17:26] With great challenges come great rewards. Jan recalls a guest who said, “A career is made from hard bosses that are terrible and challenges that are impossible! It's not made from a nice environment.” He was the HR director for Jack Welch. [18:26] Kathy suggests two fundamental metrics for success: growth and profitability. Growing with your customers means focusing on them and meeting their needs. And you have to be profitable to pay the bills. There are subordinate metrics you have to address, but profitability and growth are the greatest. If they're moving in the right direction with momentum, it shows you have an inclusive environment. [19:49] Whatever metrics you take, boil them down so they are meaningful to the people at their level. You want to drive the right behavior. Any metric can be gamed, so look at an overall business system. Everyone in the organization needs to know how their role contributes to the metrics. [22:14] The almost universal response to the idea of any transformation is, “We are different, unique, and special and that will not work here!” As a leader of a transformation, you have to be able to articulate a vision of the future that people can relate to because most people have not experienced those levels of performance, and those types of systems and processes. [23:43] There is the danger of a “Program of the Month” fatigue in organizations from all the initiatives that come along. Break out of being just another initiative. It takes a lot of perseverance and communication, not varying from your stated goal. The “secret sauce” is that people will implement what they help create. [26:03] It's impossible to personalize the vision to every individual. People have different motivations. When you are the top leader, you are trying to describe what that vision means for the good of the organization. Kathy relates this to her origin story of watching a plant close and how she doesn't want that to happen on her watch. Leaders have to show a little vulnerability and how it is personal to them. [27:11] Kathy explains the formal strategy deployment process where the leader shares the vision for the organization and each leader translates it to be meaningful to their area, cascading down to the level of operators. If you're doing these things correctly, people will see their lives getting better. They're less frustrated; you're supporting them and making their work more manageable or better. [28:02] The chapters in Kathy's book are named after shoes: baby shoes, cowboy boots, steel toes, flip-flops, etc. Kathy explains why different shoes are needed for different stages. With the supply chain challenges and workforce shortages, the working world is at a reset. For Kathy, that means we need cowboy boots (Chapter 2). We need to reset the vision for the next era. [31:24] Kathy tells about her relationship with her co-author, Shannon Karels. Shannon was brought into the team to be a transformation expert. Kathy has seen Shannon grow, contribute, and become highly accomplished. They got to be very close and accomplished things together. Now they talk about how they can model for others the great relationship that they've had. It's the best part of sisterhood! [34:10] Kathy has some guidelines to share on work friendships. The relationship between Shannon and Kathy has grown over time. Now that they do not work together, it has grown a lot more. At work, Kathy is very conscious about not playing favorites. She has great relationships with everybody on her staff and sometimes those involve very hard conversations. Now, Shannon's son calls her “Aunt Kathy.” [36:21] Kathy carefully managed the optics of friendships between herself and her staff. It is lonely at the top. She would only confide in peers at other organizations, not in members of her team. Shannon was a member of Kathy's staff and was treated fairly and equally with the other staff members. They became so much closer when they wrote a book together as equals. [38:05] Leaders today should pay attention to showing up for work with authenticity, in Kathy's view. If you can't show up authentically, ask yourself “why?” Is this a good fit? It's not healthy if you can't show up authentically. It's not healthy for you, your employees, or the company. [41:23] Jim promises to tell a funny story of how he came to interview at Ford with two black eyes and a broken nose if listeners will put 10 new reviews on Apple Podcasts by the end of the month! [43:04] Closing quote: “The only way you survive is you continuously transform into something else. It's this idea of continuous transformation that makes you an innovation company.” — Ginni Rometty.   Quotable Quotes “Prosocial behaviors are a component of meaningful work; taking individuals who are providing roles and making sure that they're connected to the needs of others. It's just a fancy term for being able to contribute to something larger than yourself in the current role that you're in.” “What you're doing is meaningful. You might not be able to see it with that part that you're assembling but you are connected to a greater purpose.” “Engineers are people, too, right? We all want to, at the end of the day, make a difference in the world, through our talents and our skills.” “I immediately fell in love with the automotive assembly plant. I couldn't believe that every 60 seconds, a functioning vehicle came off the end of that line. And then, after I'd worked there five years, I was even more fascinated by it, when you see all the challenges.” “I saw very early in my life, the impact of a failed business on the lives of so many people. And so, it really taught me, ‘You have to produce results; you have to be successful; you have to give back and create these strong manufacturing businesses.'” “If you continue to grow with your customers, it means you're focusing on your customers and their needs and meeting their needs, and other customers are getting attracted to you. And you have to be profitable because you have to pay the bills.” “Metrics need to be visible, and they need to be meaningful, and they need to be connected to the overall mission.” “The strategy deployment process [says] ‘These are the levels we need to be a competitive business,' and then you let the leaders translate that to what that means to their part of the organization, and cascade it … until it gets to a meaningful level at the operator level.” “Understand, what is the current state? What are the variables, right now, that we have to contend with and how are we going to move all those variables in a positive direction in this post-pandemic era?” “If you can't marry the values and actions and behaviors of the company with your own moral compass and show up authentically, it's probably time to ask yourself some hard questions and maybe find somewhere where you can show up … authentically.”   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Kathy Miller on LinkedIn Steel Toes and Stilettos: A True Story of Women Manufacturing Leaders and Lean Transformation Success, by Shannon Karels and Kathy Miller https://opsisters.com Shingo Prize Prosocial behavior Peter Drucker Lean Manufacturing Systems thinking Design thinking Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team, by Simon Sinek, David Mead, and Peter Docker Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, by Daniel Pink Bridgeport milling machine Jack Welch John Wooden EOS Digital transformation Ford Corporate Competitor Podcast, with Don Yaeger

Welcome to the I3 Podcast discussing the corporate world of IVF and a contentious issue about the ageing population of embryolgists. In this episode you will hear the after party which followed on from a webinar with TJ Farnsworth is the CEO and Founder of Inception Fertility and Kathy Miller, Vice President, MedTech Laboratory Solutions.What was discussed: Issues in labs such as equipment not workingMoney invested into the business including investment in people Importance of flexible working and looking after people better Generation issue - Giles talks about how the job changes everydayIssues in lack of motivation with younger embryologists in self-training - they're rigid in their work hours and don't stay and practice like doing a first ICSIYoung and old embryologists don't communicate effectively which needs attention The expectation of people coming out of college thinking they are ready when the older generation feels they aren't. How the pandemic impacted labs and processes and procedures In the second part of the podcast, you'll hear from Roisin O'Raghallaigh, Shaista Chhatriwal Sadruddin, Vivian Kimble, Maria Liossi, Victoria Almela talking about their experience as the younger generation of embryologists. What was discussed: Older embryologists set in their ways - not wanting to change anything, not being flexible Younger might be open and adaptable to new approaches Hard to communicate different types of efficiencies which is hard for the older generation to grasp the ‘why fix something that isn't broken' mentality Opportunities to train - often recruitment is during busy times so you need someone already trained up, rather than training people up ahead of these times. Complaints about there being a lack of embryologists but older generations aren't willing to train, possible they leave it too long, rather than training them when there is the capacity to train them not when the lab is already a stretched Modern embryologists working smarter and harder - being more efficient Being told they are a lazy generation is offensiveThe work culture of society is changing as are employee needs - so employers need to be attuned to this and it's toxic to make sweeping statements across generations. No need to make your own media when you can buy it - skills have become redundant You can watch the full webinar here Follow us on our socials: TwitterFacebook InstagramYou Tube

Join Pastor Travis Hall and his guestBishop Tony Miller as they talk about the destructions of isolation, effects of competition on brotherhood, and what the Bible teaches us about the word relationship. For Bishop Tony, we live in a culture where the world works and profits off of dividing people. In this episode, he explains with clarity and great wisdom where that claim begins and what it tells about people. Bishop Tony believes that the blindspots of men grow in isolation until they become black holes to fall into. Tune in as they put the spot on the Transformational Truth #18 - Isolation comes before desolation. Listen with your notes ready because there will be a lot to take away from this episode as you tune in. In this episode you will learn: · The Kingdom is administered through relations. · Brotherhood was the first victim of murder. · Competition is the enemy of the covenant. · How Saul entertained worship differently than David. · "…that is why there are a lot of people walking around today forgiven but not healed." · …and so much more. About Bishop Tony Miller: Tony and Kathy Miller have over 35 years of real-life experience in full-time ministry. During this time, God has used them to birth churches, begin global outreach ministries, and launch hands-on Bible Colleges throughout the United States. Part of their call has been to awaken others to their God-given destiny, which led them to start Destiny World Inc, a global ministry dedicated to advancing God's Kingdom. From their humble beginnings as youth ministers in 1978 to launching a new church in South Florida in 1990 and moving to Oklahoma City in 2006, we have seen the fruit of their strategic leadership, and dynamic preaching as signs and wonders follow their labor of love. Tony and Kathy have helped birth numerous churches throughout the United States' Southeast region and have trained over 300,000 leaders face-to-face. As committed senior leaders, they are dedicated to building The Gate Church to be a Full Gospel, Pentecostal, expressive congregation of believers who are not just getting filled up but are being poured out. From city initiatives through the non-profit CDC CityReach under Kathy's care to our trans-local leadership schools birthed out of Tony's desire to see everyone reach their full potential. Building for city transformation is what comes naturally to them and is what they were born to do. Bishop Tony Miller passed away suddenly in Oklahoma City on January 19, 2021, but the impact of his mandate will continue to affect destiny for eternity.

They also take into account the platforms each app is compatible with (iOS vs. Android) and price. Tune in to hear what Miller and Trumpower consider the best apps for paralegals, how to use them, and how to stay updated on app technology. Special thanks to our sponsor, NALA.

If you suffer from fatigue, muscle weakness, recurring bloating and abdominal pain, unexplained anemia, headaches, depression, osteoporosis, or lactose intolerance, you may have celiac disease (CD).  Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate a protein called gluten, found in wheat, rye, and barley. It impacts one out of every 133 people in the United States, but 97 percent of those who have celiac disease don't know it. Kathy Miller, a registered and licensed dietitian and co-director of the Cooper Clinic nutrition department, joins us.
