In this illuminating episode we speak with Dr. Filippa Juul. An epidemiologist and leading researcher on the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on human health. Together, we unpack what ultra-processed really means, why it's not just about calories or macros, and how these foods are stealthily contributing to the global rise in obesity, chronic illness, and food addiction. Dr. Filippa Juul is a nutritional epidemiologist and Faculty Fellow at the Department of Public Health Policy and Management at the New York University School of Global Public Health (NYU GPH). She earned her PhD in Epidemiology from NYU GPH in 2020, following a MSc in Public Health Nutrition from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, and a BA in Nutrition and Dietetics from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Spain. Dr. Juul's research focuses on improving cardiometabolic health outcomes at the population level, with a particular interest in the role of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in diet quality, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. She utilizes large U.S. population studies to examine these associations and is also exploring the biological mechanisms underlying the impact of UPFs on cardiometabolic health.  Dr. Juul explains the NOVA classification system, dives into recent groundbreaking studies, and offers insights into why UPFs are so difficult to resist—and what we can do about it, both individually and at the policy level.

This episode features an interview with Armen Najarian, CMO at Sift, an AI-powered fraud platform delivering identity trust for leading global businesses.Armen has 10 years of experience as a CMO across a variety of fraud prevention, digital identity, and cybersecurity organizations. He discusses how word of mouth and a strong brand has allowed them to become a leader in their space and also gives insight into Sift's top source for demand generation.Key Takeaways:It is riskier not to take risks. Marketers need to be willing to try something unconventional. If it fails, the world goes on. Giving your customers access to your data, if it answers important questions for them, can be a key driver of demand. Understand what your customers are curious about and what questions they are asking. If you can find a way to provide answers, the ROI will be significant. Quote:  ”Those that aren't taking risks are the ones taking risks, is the way I would look at this. Like we have to take risks -you know, it's gotten so noisy and some of the tried and true tactics like organic search, right, which is completely flipped on its head right now. Every CMO has a responsibility, anyone in marketing really, has a responsibility to really rethink the logic for what they're doing and take some risks.”Episode Timestamps: *(02:29) The Trust Tree: 10 years of CMO experience*(09:19) The Playbook: Answering your customers biggest questions*(38:24) The Dust Up: To create a category or not *(42:32) Quick Hits: Armen's quick hitsSponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

What if you could shed the barriers that get in your way and truly allow your inner essence to shine through? In this episode, Elizabeth Mintun talks with business and life coach Renee Vogel about her perspective on how to return to and live from the inner beauty within. Renee shared about her own essence and how she helps others break through the layers that keep themselves from living more authentically and freely as they are (rather than as they feel they should be). Key Takeaways It's important to notice and explore our “essence”. In other words, who you are beyond the survival mechanisms that have been put in place throughout your life. Your essence is your truest self. Play can help support our return to our essence. Coaching can help support and guide you to your goals, however if there are deep seated traumas creating barriers, therapy would be a better first step.

Simon discusses the concept of ethical property investing, emphasising the importance of creating a win-win situation for both investors and motivated sellers. He highlights the various reasons why individuals may need to sell their properties at a discount, such as financial difficulties, medical issues, or personal circumstances. Through real-life examples, Simon illustrates how understanding the seller's needs and providing genuine solutions can lead to mutually beneficial outcomes. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial to recognise that motivated sellers often view their property as a burden rather than an asset. They may be facing financial difficulties, personal issues, or deadlines that make selling their property a priority. Successful property investing should focus on creating a win-win situation where both the seller and the investor benefit. This involves genuinely helping sellers solve their problems while also achieving a profitable outcome. Engaging in open conversations with sellers is essential. By asking the right questions and listening to their needs, investors can better understand the seller's situation and provide tailored solutions. There are unethical practices in property investing that can harm sellers. It's important to maintain integrity and avoid taking advantage of vulnerable individuals, ensuring that all transactions are fair and transparent. Building trust and providing genuine help can lead to referrals and future opportunities. Positive interactions can create good karma, which may result in more business in the long run, reinforcing the idea that ethical behaviour in investing pays off. BEST MOMENTS "We need to ask great questions, listen to what they say, respond and have this conversation... finding out what's most important to them." "If we can find people and prevent them from being repossessed... then that's much better than facing the inevitable of being repossessed." "We want to have this win-win, where we're helping them and also we're benefiting as well." "If you put some good karma out there, the good karma will come back to you many, many times over."

In the world of professional sports, athletes face the constant fear of injury. While the physical impact is clear—strains, tears, and breaks—the mental and emotional effects can be just as severe. The fear of never returning to peak performance can cloud an athlete's confidence and mental health, making recovery a long, challenging process. Injury not only disrupts an athlete's career but also challenges their identity. The road to recovery requires physical healing and emotional resilience, as athletes wrestle with frustration and self-doubt. However, many emerge stronger, learning to push through both physical and mental barriers. Overcoming the fear of injury means accepting it as part of the journey. By confronting and working through this fear, athletes can return to their sport more prepared, confident, and focused on what lies ahead. Jency Riley Jr. is a student-athlete and passionate storyteller majoring in Sports Media and Journalism.

This episode is a must-listen for athletes, parents, coaches, and anyone looking to better understand the journey of injury recovery. "It doesn't matter how well I do your surgery.

Lyn welcomes back Byron and Margaret McKie, a couple known for their candid discussions about relationships. Together, they delve into the complexities of resolving conflict with your partner, sharing insights from their 27 years of marriage. The McKies emphasise the importance of viewing conflicts as challenges to be tackled together rather than battles to be won individually. They explore the differences in how men and women typically handle conflict, highlighting the need for effective communication and emotional understanding. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's essential to approach conflicts with the mindset that it's not about winning or losing but about resolving the issue together. When only one partner wins, both lose; true success comes from tackling problems as a team. Different communication styles can arise from gender differences. Men may prefer directness, while women might seek emotional safety. Recognising these differences can help couples navigate conflicts more effectively. Past experiences can influence how individuals react during conflicts. One partner may project emotions based on their history, while the other may not relate and so respond in a different way. Understanding each other's backgrounds can foster empathy and improve communication. When verbal communication becomes heated, writing letters can be an effective way to express feelings and thoughts without provoking an immediate emotional charge. This method allows for uninterupted clearer communication and helps prevent misunderstandings. BEST MOMENTS "When only one of you wins, you both lose. If you solve the problem together, you both win." "I need to say the same thing I said to my friend, but just in a different tone or a different way." "A lot of times, we found that we're saying the same things just in different ways." "You have to utilise more of your feminine energy." "Conflict is good. That's where change comes from. That's where growth comes from." ABOUT THE GUESTSByron & Margaret McKie - Marriage Mentors & Podcast Hosts Byron is a hard-working, loving husband and father who enjoys building things, music, and motorcycles. Margaret is a creative, dedicated wife and mother who enjoys reading, crocheting, and learning new things.

Passionate about helping others, Bryron & Margaret recently published their first book, Unlocking Forever: 10 Keys to a Successful Marriage Beyond I Do. They stress the importance of friendship in marriage. While love may come easily, they believe that maintaining a deep friendship requires effort and is what makes a marriage last.

He is the Chief Marketing Officer at HiveMQ. In this episode, Mark shares his approach to cold outreach, explaining why leading with recognizable brands before introducing value creates engagement. He explores effective email strategies, emphasizing the power of short, curiosity-driven messages over long, detailed pitches. He also discusses pricing from the buyer's perspective, highlighting how perceived value—rather than just function—drives purchasing decisions.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Learn proven strategies for grabbing attention in cold calls and emails, using brand credibility and psychological triggers like FOMO. Discover how to price based on what buyers truly value, rather than just cost or features, using real-life analogies. Get practical tips on structuring sales conversations to keep prospects engaged without sounding like a typical salesperson.   “Try and understand the value in the eyes of your buyer. I think far too many times as vendors, we think there's intrinsic value because it costs us much to produce or we think it looks like that. It's trying to understand from a buying perspective, what is the value you're providing.” - Mark Herring   Topics Covered: 01:29 - How his journey from development to product marketing led him to pricing 03:41 - How his early pricing research focused on how customers would use a product rather than explicitly asking about the problem it solved 04:59 -  To what is the short tenure of CMOs in B2B and consumer goods attributed to 06:25 - Explaining what a pipeline is and how pipeline generation involves value demonstration 10:38 - Comparing pipeline to running a marathon, emphasizing that while MQLs and SQLs are useful stepping stones, the ultimate goal is generating real sales opportunities 12:02 - Differentiating a pipeline from a SQL 14:18 - Demonstrating how a successful cold outreach combines multiple touchpoints 18:57 - How to make prospects more receptive in a cold call  21:13 - Why he uses big brand names as conversation openers in cold calls rather than starting with a value statement 22:27 - What an effective cold email should be 24:42 - Highlighting  the importance of A/B testing cold emails and continuously refining outreach strategies to improve open rates 25:55 - Mark's best pricing advice   Key Takeaways: “It's cold because you've never had the interaction, but usually they've interacted somewhere with you. It's like they might have seen you at an event, or they might have seen some of your outreach to you already and going, ‘Okay, I'll give this guy a bone.'” - Mark Herring “One of the sales guys was talking about this [cold calls] at the conference we were at together, and I just loved it. And he is like, ‘Don't over research, because there's never a good time to know everything.' Because you got to keep on dialing.” - Mark Herring “You can't stop doing it [cold outreach] because it's like getting dice and trying to get the six, the more you throw it, the better chance you're going to get to the six.” - Mark Herring “I lead [cold call] with brands, not with value. And when you do that type of thing, they're then shocked going, ‘Oh, he didn't do a sales pitch on me. He's asking me about these companies. Well, maybe it is something interesting.'” - Mark Herring   People/Resources Mentioned: FedX: https://www.fedex.com/en-us/home.html UPS: https://www.ups.com/us/en/home   Connect with Mark Herring: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/herringmark/ Email: mark.herring@hivemq.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com  

In this episode, we chat with James Fryer, an experienced mining underwriter for Inigo, who are global specialists in high-risk, high-capacity insurance and reinsurance lines – serving some of the world’s largest commercial and industrial enterprises including the mining and resources sector. James explains more about the insurance industry, what mining companies could do better from a risk prospective, how insurance companies can improve their negative reputations, what are the current risk challenges in our industry, and what makes a good mining client from an insurance perspective. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial for mining companies to fully understand the details of their insurance policies, including what is covered and what is not. Misunderstandings often lead to conflicts during claims. Insurance for mining companies should be bespoke, as each mining operation has unique risks and challenges. Insurers work closely with mining companies to develop tailored insurance products that meet their specific needs. Insurance companies need to adopt a more proactive approach to risk management by learning from past losses and providing clarity in policy wording. This helps ensure that mining companies have certainty in their coverage when losses occur. The mining industry faces new risks due to technological advancements, such as automation and electrification. Insurers must adapt their policies to address these emerging risks while also leveraging technology for better risk assessment and monitoring. A successful partnership between mining companies and insurers is built on trust and transparency. Long-term relationships allow both parties to better understand each other's risks and needs, ultimately leading to more effective risk management and support during claims. BEST MOMENTS "Insurance is just another method of risk management. It's that transfer of risk from the company to a third party, in this case being the insurance company." "Not every mine is the same. Our job is to work with insurance brokers and the mining companies to develop something that is suitable for them." "Insurance is very reactive. There are those losses that will occur that a 60-page insurance wording contract just isn't able to respond to." "The best insurance policy is one that you will never have to claim on because it means that you haven't had that financial loss."

Welcome back to Beyond Limits! In this solo episode, Liv dives into how to make this month the one you become unrecognizable!Key Takeaways:

Simon delves into the crucial distinctions between HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) licensing and planning conditions, emphasising their separate roles in property investment. Simon highlights the importance of creating high-end co-living spaces to attract better tenants and maximise income. He explains the licensing requirements for HMOs, including the number of unrelated occupants and room size regulations, while also addressing safety standards that must be met. Additionally, Simon discusses the complexities of planning permissions, particularly in areas with Article 4 directions, and offers insights on how to navigate these challenges effectively. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial to differentiate between HMO licensing and planning conditions, as they are separate aspects of managing HMO properties. Licensing pertains to the number of unrelated tenants, while planning relates to the classification of the property. Generally, a property needs a license if it houses five or more unrelated individuals, but some councils may require a license for three or more. Always check local council regulations for specific requirements. Minimum room sizes for licensed HMOs vary by council. The national guideline for single rooms is 6.51 square meters, but some councils may require larger sizes. It's essential to verify these requirements to avoid issues when applying for a license. In areas with an Article 4 direction, converting a C3 residential property to a C4 HMO requires planning permission. However, if the concentration of HMOs is below a certain threshold (e.g., 20%), it may still be possible to obtain permission. BEST MOMENTS "If you're going to do HMOs, it's very important to make sure you do high-level, co-living HMOs." "A lot of councils interpret the HMO licensing rules in their own way... some councils take the strict definition of an HMO." "If you have an en suite where the room has its own private shower, toilet and hand basin, the space for the en suite does not count towards the floor space of the room." "In many areas, there is an oversupply of the very average HMOs I talked about earlier on."

Thanks for tuning back in to Leaving the Nest, dear listeners! Join me for this episode as I discuss a topic that might sound a bit tongue-in-cheek at first: how to lose a job in 10 days (inspired, of course, by the 2003 rom-com How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days)! Of course, I am not actually setting you up for failure; instead, we will focus on what NOT to do when starting a new job so that you can avoid making costly mistakes right out of the gate. It's so important to make a positive impression, and I am using this episode to share some practical tips on how to do just that! From being punctual to managing breaks, I highlight the key factors that can either make or break your success in those critical first days. Showing up to work on time is more important than you might think, and I explain why those extra few minutes could set you apart. I also discuss reliability and the importance of communicating openly with your employer if something goes wrong, whether it be a family emergency or a sick day. (Trust me, employers absolutely notice these things!) It isn't all just about avoiding mistakes, though, as success is also about making an effort to integrate into your new workplace culture, so listen as I discuss how to be friendly and approachable and how asking questions and staying focused can help you thrive. If you've ever wondered how to make sure that you don't lose your job in ten days, tune in for some actionable advice that I hope will help you on your journey to success! Key Takeaways:  It's incredibly important to be on time to your job (even more important than you might think)! Plan ahead by preparing for work the night before to avoid delays. It's also crucial to be reliable and to try to avoid taking time off in your first few months. Fit into company culture, and be proactive in making connections with colleagues!

Join my Facebook page: Moving Countries 101 with Clare Kay. bit.ly/MovingCountries101 In this episode, Clare talks about the need to be open-minded enough to make friends with strangers when you move country. Including those who are not from the same background or who are living very different lives from you. She shares some tips to overcome our natural instinct and conditioning to stay away from strangers (stranger danger) so that you have the potential to connect with whoever you want. Because Clare has lived in the UK, China, Nigeria and the USA she has plenty of experience of finding a community in a new country, regardless of the cultural differences. Clare also launches her new Facebook Community - Moving Countries, 101 with Clare Kay. A community where the focus is less on the logistics of moving and more on the cultural and emotional aspects of making such a big change in your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is only natural to be drawn to people who you already have a connection with and resonate with. Remember that other people see you as a stranger, in the same way you see them as strangers. Switching your thinking and considering yourself as the stranger reminds you to adopt a persona that makes others feel comfortable. You get to choose how you come across when you meet someone for the first time. Being warm and friendly with everyone makes it easier for them to connect with you. Look at how the other person chooses to be and adapt a bit to meet them where they are. But still be yourself, authenticity matters. Understand the merits others see in you and play up to them a little, while toning down the things you know put them off. This is part of being culturally sensitive. Talk to people who share habits or common interests or concerns with you. Be genuinely open minded and willing to try things, but don´t participate in anything that does not sit well with you. BEST MOMENTS “Naturally, looking out we regard everyone around us as strangers, but we are also regarded as strangers when we step into a new country.” “If I related to it as, “Oh, here we go again”. I diminished the promise of what that interaction could yield.” “Different modes of behaviour work in different cultural settings.” “No matter how much we acclimatize to a country, community will start with strangers.” “I like any “in” that gets me to know the people locally.” “You are breaking the ice, but it's on your terms, so you're not breaking a sweat.” ABOUT THE HOST: Clare Kay is a seasoned global traveller and professional with a rich background in international sales, customer service, and personal development. From selling books and television programs internationally to teaching English as a foreign language and proofreading for non-native speakers, Clare’s career has always been globally focused. Her extensive travels for business have given her first-hand experience with numerous cultures. Having moved countries multiple times—from the UK to Zambia, China, Taiwan, Nigeria, and the USA—Clare brings a wealth of direct experience. Her podcast ‘Moving Countries 101’ is an extension of her lifelong commitment to international engagement and cultural understanding.

Hi, I'm Sarah Thomson, and in this episode, I'm flying solo! I wanted to dive into the idea that starting now is always fine—no matter the time of year. So many of us feel pressure to start fresh in January, but life gets in the way. I'll share my thoughts on how to reset, build momentum, and set goals that actually work for your business and life. Episode Summary: January can feel like a chaotic blur, especially for business owners juggling holidays, family, and the pressure of a ‘new year, new me' mindset. In this episode, I explore why waiting for the perfect moment isn't necessary and how you can start fresh anytime. I share practical ways to regain focus after a slow start, rethink goal-setting to fit real life, and embrace consistency over perfection. Whether you're feeling behind or just need a reset, I'll show you how to create momentum without the stress. Let's ditch the overwhelm and make progress on our terms! Key Takeaways: It's never too late to start fresh—momentum can begin any day. Perfection isn't the goal; small, consistent steps matter more. Customizing your goals to fit your life leads to better success. Overcoming the January slump starts with giving yourself grace. Focus on what you can do rather than what you've missed. Notable Quotes: "The perfect time to start is whenever you decide to. No need to wait for a fresh calendar!" "Small steps build big momentum—don't underestimate the power of just starting." "January isn't a deadline; it's just a month. Your progress is on your timeline." "Forget the pressure to have it all figured out—just take action." "Your goals should fit your life, not the other way around."

Key Takeaways:It's not the strategy that's the problem, it's your feelings about the actions required to execute the strategy. Maryanne emphasizes that understanding your thoughts and feelings is more important than the strategic plan itself.Embrace uncertainty rather than seeking certainty. Maryanne explains that the more you need certainty and control, the more opportunities there are to feel uncertain and out of control. Learning to live with uncertainty is key.Set bold, audacious goals, not just achievable ones. Maryanne argues that plans often focus on conservative, achievable goals rather than big, hairy, audacious goals that scare you a little. Pushing your boundaries is how you truly grow.Address underlying issues and mindsets, not just create a plan. Maryanne shares an example of a coalition that thought a plan could solve their trust issues, when in reality the feelings and communication needed to be addressed first. “The more you need certainty and control, the more out of control and uncertain you'll actually feel.” “If your plan isn't scaring the crap out of you, it's not a really good plan. And that's why I said the number one myth was plans bring certainty because you want to feel uncertain. You want to feel scared.” “The way to grow is to release the outcome, get bold, and make your objectives based on the change that you truly want.” - Maryanne Dersch   Ask for and receive all you want, need and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.

In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Erin Halper, founder and CEO of The Upside, a global community where top independent consultants come together to gain support and advance their businesses. We talked about the crucial role that communities and support networks play for independent consultants, and Erin shared her inspiring journey from feeling isolated to establishing The Upside, a vibrant community of 250 consultants. We explored the importance of finding the right community, the challenges that come with transitioning from corporate life, and practical steps to build a strong network. In This Episode:  [00:00:00] Erin shares her journey as a consultant and the creation of The Upside community. [00:02:06] The significance of finding and building a support network for consultants. [00:04:14] Erin discusses the difficulty of finding suitable communities and how she recognized the need for a community for independent consultants. [00:08:22] Erin offers advice on how consultants can start building their support networks. [00:11:31] Discussion on the impact of burnout on the desire for community and support. [00:13:30] Erin emphasizes the fundamental human need for belonging in professional settings and how the right community can alleviate the burdens of solo consulting. [00:16:49] Discussion on the initial isolation of consultants and the eventual need for community support. [00:18:03] Advice on recognizing the right community, focusing on shared values and connection with leaders. [00:20:09] Warning signs to watch for in communities, including lack of values and authenticity issues. [00:21:41] The importance of genuine community experiences over flashy marketing and celebrity endorsements. [00:25:42] Encouragement for active participation in communities to gain the most value from the experience. [00:28:02] The value of forming meaningful connections within communities for personal and professional growth. [00:29:36] Advice on authenticity and being true to oneself in the journey of independent consulting. Key Takeaways: It can be isolating moving from corporate to independent consultant - and often that urge to isolate yourself after leaving corporate is intentional! But having access to a network can help to fill the gap left by leaving a structured corporate environment and fulfil the need for connection and support as you grow your business. High-quality communities lead to transformative relationships and opportunities. The key is finding those high-quality communities and showing up authentically and consistently within them. Erin believes that a community should inspire and connect with its members on a deeper level so that they feel seen and understood. Her advice for finding the right community includes aligning your values. If a community doesn't clearly communicate its values or fails to resonate with its members, it raises a red flag. When you're transitioning from a corporate role, you may feel the pressure to present a polished version of yourself. But Erin encourages listeners to embrace their true selves, shedding the armor that corporate life may have built up. Quotes:  “That is just basic, foundational human nature to always find that sense of belonging, always search for that sense of belonging. And that's why it's so important to make sure you're choosing a network, a path, a program that gives you that sense of belonging. Because they're not all one size fits all.” - Erin Halper “I have found that when consultants go out on their own, the thing they miss the most is being part of a team. Second, the thing they miss is having access to the marketing department, the accounting department for anything they need … Then all of a sudden you're out on your own and you are the marketing department and the accounting department, and you're the bookkeeper and you're, you know, the COO, you're just wearing all the hats.” - Erin Halper “If you're a high achiever, we don't like admitting weakness. We don't like coming across like we don't know stuff or we can't do things … But I think you need some time where you take the mask off and you're like, ‘oh my gosh, this is so hard. I don't know what I'm doing'. And, you know, just letting some of that tension out because yes, we can perform at very high levels often, but I think everyone needs a space where they can just show up as themselves and they can admit ‘this is very hard'.” - Jessica Fearnley “If a community isn't sharing one way, shape or form, what they stand for, what their values are, and you ask them and they don't have an answer. That to me is a red flag. You should be lit up by their values.” - Erin Halper “Just be authentic. Show up as yourself. Take off the armor that corporate or your past career has built up on you. Take it off. Be human. Build relationships. And enjoy the ride as yourself. Because being out on your own is, for many people, the first time they're ever able to show up truly as themselves.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. John Hutton discuss the impact of early reading exposure on brain development in infants and young children. He explains that babies are born with 100 billion brain cells, each with around 1,000 connections and that these connections are shaped by experiences. Dr. Hutton emphasizes the importance of a nurturing home literacy environment, which includes regular reading routines and interactive reading. He also addresses the negative effects of excessive screen time on brain development, particularly in preschoolers, and advocates for reducing screen usage to allow for more real-world engagement. Additionally, he highlights programs like Reach Out and Read and Dolly Parton's Imagination Library that aim to increase access to books for children from underprivileged backgrounds.    Key Takeaways: It takes a long time for the human brain to develop compared to other animals. Humans are uniquely more sensitive to experiences in their environment than other organisms because of this long development process. The Home Literacy Environment can be divided into quantitative (such as the number of books and amount of time spent reading) and qualitative (such as questions asked, format of books, interest in reading, etc.) components. There is no “reading network” built-in to the brain. If kids aren't taught to read, they are not going to just magically know how to read. Do your best to form your own routines, and try to make reading fun, enjoyable, and nurturing.  Kids want to emulate their parents. If we want them to use less screen time, as adults, we must also have less screen time.    "Books, more than anything, are a catalyst that brings grown-ups and kids together to exchange language, to exchange emotions, to show love and affection, and that can be a source of nurturing for all these different aspects of development that are related to that experience." —  Dr. John Hutton   Episode References:  Read Aloud 15 Minutes: https://readaloud.org/  Reach Out and Read: https://reachoutandread.org/  Dolly Parton's Imagination Library: https://imaginationlibrary.com/usa/  Dr. John Hutton Introduces the SHARE STEP Method for Reading with Young Children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuQhnbrwutw    Connect with Dr. John Hutton: Professional Bio: https://profiles.utsouthwestern.edu/profile/226447/john-hutton.html  Twitter: https://x.com/drjohnhutton  Books: https://www.bluemanateepress.com/our-authors#/dr-john-hutton/    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Jeannette is joined by the one and only Vivienne Artz OBE, the CEO of the FTSE Women Leaders Review, to discuss her remarkable journey in the financial sector and her passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Vivienne shares her experiences, including overcoming impostor syndrome and the challenges she faced in her career, such as navigating a male-dominated environment and the importance of mentorship and sponsorship. She also highlights the significance of data in driving change within organisations and the need for structural adjustments to create equitable opportunities for women in leadership roles. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's important to be open to opportunities and not wait to be tapped on the shoulder. Taking initiative and applying for roles, even if you feel underqualified, can lead to unexpected successes. Data plays a crucial role in understanding and addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in organisations. It can reveal insights about performance and representation that may not be immediately apparent. Challenges and setbacks are common in any career. Learning from difficult experiences and surrounding yourself with a supportive network can help you bounce back and grow stronger. Effective leadership is characterised by inclusivity, where diverse voices are heard and respected. This not only benefits the organisation but also creates a more collaborative and dynamic work environment. It's essential to recognise when to let go of certain roles or projects to make space for new opportunities. Renewing focus and passion for your work can lead to greater fulfilment and success in your career. BEST MOMENTS "When the door closes, look for all the open windows" "Imposter syndrome is a reality, but it's one that you can let take hold and define who you are, or you can say, well, you know what, that is." "What we really need are more women as executive directors, and we need more women as CEOs and CFOs at the leadership level."

Jeannette reflects on the past year, focusing upon the importance of self-assessment as we approach the new year. Dividing her reflections into three key pillars — leading yourself, leading the business, and leading teams — she shares personal challenges, including health issues and family matters, and highlights the significance of self-care and gratitude during tough times. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's important to take time to reflect on the past year, focusing on personal leadership, business achievements, and team dynamics. This reflection can help identify areas for improvement and set a positive tone for the upcoming year. During challenging times, focusing on self-care is crucial. Establishing a routine that includes exercise, mindfulness, and gratitude can help maintain a sense of calm and resilience. Focusing on small, incremental improvements (the "1% better" philosophy) can lead to significant progress over time. This approach can be applied to various aspects of business and personal development. Surrounding oneself with the right people is essential for success. It's important to recruit individuals who share similar values and are committed to achieving collective goals, while also being willing to make tough decisions when team dynamics don't align. BEST MOMENTS "Reflecting on the year that's passed allows me to think about what's gone well and what can I do to propel myself forward into the next year." "When things are difficult, it's even more important to focus on putting your own oxygen mask on first." "The power of the 1% is where the gains can really come; it's about getting 1% better every single day." "It's important that you have the right people on your team, those that share the same values as you." "I genuinely believe that the best is yet to come; there are no limits to your growth." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Adrian Mendoza, founder and general partner of Mendoza Ventures, whose inspirational journey sees him go from first generation Mexican-American who turned a successful tech-exit into a platform for empowering others. He's a living embodiment of the power of perseverance and vision. On this episode, Adrian shares his insights on everything from pitfalls to how to deal with corporate life, and building corporate innovation lab to the art of securing strategic investments. KEY TAKEAWAYS It was very rare to find an operator/founder that was also an investor in 2015, but we had a lot of experience meeting people with domain expertise who would come to us because they'd invested in us through funds. VC was a black box that would never connect to founders. We theorised there was incredible potential success in breaking that black box open and connecting incredible investors that had operational and domain expertise with founders. Venture has been very localised. When we first looked at the landscape we realised there was an opportunity to find incredible talent that wasn't the kids that went to Oxford or Stanford because you're missing out on everything in between. One of our first investments was two Latinos that were working at RSA security and left because they had an idea, they didn't have Ivy League educations, they were domain experts. That company returned 10x in 5 months back to us. For us, DE&I is not just black, brown and female, but also age diversity, veterans, those coming from rural areas. If you're going to look at equity and inclusion it can just be within a sub-segment because then it's incredibly hard to find talent. We want to find talent no matter where it is and what it looks like. In order to create the best outcomes you cannot be a passive investor, you have to help find customers, investors, help mentor these individuals because they've never run a company with 80-100 people before, help them find the talent and the ways into mainstream financial institutions or corporates.  BEST MOMENTS ‘No one looked like us, there were no women or Latinos writing venture cheques, we didn't know that we were one of the first Latinx Venture Funds on the East Coast until individuals in private equity told us.' ‘There's incredible talents at corporates in rural areas in middle America that no one's touching that is out there having ideas and building companies. We invest in this talent because we look like that talent.' ‘60% of California is Latino, if we're looking at being representative of that area then 60% of the capital should be going to Latinos. Most states are 50% women, 50% of capital should be going to women.' ‘Our references aren't just the investors, they're the founders that we backed and those that we've had exits with.' ABOUT THE GUEST Adrian Mendoza is the founder and general partner at Mendoza Ventures which is both Latinx and woman-owned and the first Latinx-founded VC fund on the east coast. His firm focuses on investments in Fintech, AI, and Cybersecurity, with diversity playing an important role in their investment decisions—about 80% of their portfolio consists of startups led by immigrants, people of colour, and women. Since its founding seven years ago, Mendoza Ventures has raised two funds and had two successful exits. The firm is currently raising its third fund, a $100M fintech fund anchored by Bank of America, focused on early growth funding rounds. In 2022, Axios Magazine listed Adrian as one of the five most influential people in Boston and the LA Times honoured Adrian as a DEI visionary as one of California's most prominent game-changers and thought leaders in the business world today. Adrian is also a regular contributor on CNBC on the state of Venture capital in the US and the firm has recently been covered in Forbes, Bloomberg, and The Boston Globe.

In this episode, I share a personal (and slightly unconventional) parenting story about letting my 4-year-old son practice walking on our roof. As risky as it might sound, the experience brought three profound lessons about healing: the importance of practice, the power of pacing, and the value of having support.Join me as we explore how these lessons apply to your journey of emotional regulation and self-healing, especially if you didn't grow up with the tools or guidance to navigate your emotions. Together, we'll uncover a framework for building self-compassion and moving forward in a way that feels intentional and supportive.Key Takeaways:It's okay to practice. Let yourself be bad until you're not anymore.It's okay to go slow. There's no rush to get it “right.” Moving at a pace that feels safe and manageable is how real, lasting change happens.It's okay to ask for support. It's actually essential – we're here for you.Looking for more personalized support?Book a FREE consultation for RESTORE, our 1:1 anxiety & depression coaching program.Order my book, Healing Through the Vagus Nerve today!If you found this episode helpful, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who might benefit from hearing this!Website: https://www.riseaswe.com/podcastEmail: amanda@riseaswe.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandaontherise/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amandaontherise
