Seeing as we're right in the thick of one of the toughest months of the year, we thought that anyone taking up Dry January might like some inspiration to keep them on track for the rest of the month! So on today's episode, we revisited some of our best conversations about changing your relationship to alcohol.First up, we talked to the lovely Lisa Riley - television presenter, actor and Emmerdale's beloved Mandy Dingle - about the hardcore partying that went on behind the scenes of the Strictly Tour and how this, alongside navigating her own grief, led her to give up alcohol altogether seven years ago. We also hear from ultimate funny man Brian Conley - a comic with 40 years of experience behind him who's spent half of those sober! Plus, the brilliant journalist and broadcaster Adrian Chiles discusses his book 'The Good Drinker', and the lessons he's learnt through understanding the importance of moderation and drinking less - rather than going entirely sober.You can listen back to these great episodes in full here: Lisa Riley, Brian Conley and Adrian Chiles.

In this episode of the Shingo Principles Podcast, we hear from Lisa Riley who is the Executive Director of The Manufacturing Institute, a Shingo Licensed Affiliate, and Martin Haigh who has been with TMI as an associate practitioner for many years.When it comes to productivity and growth, culture can account for 20 to 30 percent of the difference in corporate performance. So, it stands to reason that feelings compelled by positive culture will inspire success. Likewise, toxic culture will compound failure. When we understand the link between our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, we become more self-award and more other-aware, and we typically see “that Shingo feeling” guide and motivate culture with more humility and emotion. This can characterize individual morale, organizational morale, and corporate morale. And it can create a feeling that empowers resonance with the work, the workplace, and “that Shingo feeling,” which is culturally contagious.I hope you enjoy today's podcast.

Innocent people are sometimes convicted of crimes they don't commit. More than half of Wrongful Convictions can be traced to witnesses who lied in court or made false accusations.... Other leading causes of wrongful convictions include mistaken eyewitness identifications, false or misleading forensic science, and jailhouse informants. Faulty forensics also lead to wrongful convictions. Wrongful Convictions undermined the credibility of our Criminal Justice System and ruined the lives of innocent men and women. African Americans make up 47% of exonerations even though they are only 13% of the population. Innocent Black people are about seven times more likely to be convicted of murder than innocent white people, and Black people who are convicted of murder are about 50% more likely to be innocent than non-Black people convicted of murder. This week our guest Lisa Riley of Breaking Silence,Justice Advocate and Connie Mayhew, Private Investigator and Paralegal will de discussing The Wrongful Conviction of Cornelius Patterson Jr of Ohio.

Both federal and state prisons punish and correct the behavior of criminals. The biggest federal prison vs. state prison difference lies in the type of crime committed. Federal prisons are for individuals who break federal laws while state prisons are for those who break state laws. Although each system is different there are many similarities. This week we welcome our guest Mr James Jones and Lisa Riley from The Reinvention Center to discuss these differences. The Reinvention Center is a non profit organization designed to assist our clients with positively reintegrating with society after being in the system or curbing at risk young adults from entering the system all together. Mr James Jones, President/ Director of The Reinvention Center, Paralegal, Podcast host, Author of the book: “Getting Arrested: The Insiders Guide to The Federal Legal System” The purpose of this book is to answer a lot of questions one may have or to give some direction. This book gives break downs of court rules, sample motions, and other things that will be helpful. Mr Jones spent 22 years in the Federal Prison System. He has filed motions in the District Courts, Courts of Appeals, and Supreme Court and challenged many procedures and policies of the Bureau of Prisons. Mr Jones have been an advocate for incarcerated individuals for decades and he brings a wealth of knowledge every Sunday evening on his podcast “The Growth Hour.” Ms Lisa Riley, also of the Reinvention Center; is from the State of Ohio. She co-host The Growth hour podcast and is a strong Advocate for the Wrongful Convicted. Lisa assist women and men from all over The United States with reentry. Her goal is to help men and women come home to rebuild stronger and better than ever! Ms Riley was formerly incarcerated in the Ohio Women's State Penitentiary in Ohio for a drug charge so she's very familiar with the prison system, wrongful conviction and the need for Reform. She feels it's a Blessing to advocate and being a voice for the voiceless.

If you're watching this on YouTube you will see that i have grown a very ugly moustache, this is because I am supporting Movember and raising money for men's health awareness. Please donate to support my cause here:https://movember.com/m/14429027?mc=1My guest this week is the very modest and humble Lisa Riley, the Director of Strategy and Partnerships from Transforming Systems.

One of the key projects this year has been the development of SHREWD the COVID19 crisis management tool.You can find out more here:http://www.transformingsystems.co.uk/https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-riley-ba67941a/And you can reach out to me here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/duncan-goldie-b2355193/Please subscribe to stay up to date with all the latest episodes and interviews with Digital Health leaders from around the world!

The song I’ve sent you is a live recording of part of a concert I did a few years back with James Burton at the Floral Pavilion New Brighton….James was the guitarist on Ricky Nelson’s records in the 50’s and early 60’s and backed Elvis during his Vegas years…I was a huge fan of Ricky mainly because of the great guitar solos on his records .. so to eventually have the privilege of performing his songs with my guitar hero was a bit special…I have since done five concerts with the great man the latest being last July at Fort Perch Rock in New Brighton where we did 14 Ricky hits with those stunning solos….he is a great guy and a pleasure to know….this is “Hello Mary Lou” 2.The BBC have brought back the chat show where Claire Balding interviews sports personalities….sadly it doesn’t work….whereas I like Claire Balding very much she struggles to get any entertainment value out of her guests…sports stars are not showbiz….they should stick to what they do…it’s like those dreadful records footballers used to make (e.g. “Hoddle and Waddle)…they should not be let within a mile of a recording studio….they would have enough to say if Tom Jones turned out on the wing. I once composed a song for Tranmere Rovers…we got the players into the studio to sing it … resulting in MY demo being released….case closed. 3.I also watched the live performance of “The Sound Of Music” on ITV….it was brilliant…and LIVE!!...tough call that one…I think this will get plenty of awards…and I also enjoyed the documentary on the “Take That” tour….I was knocked out….the amount of effort put into the show was staggering….they certainly set the bar very high. Take That are an out fit I don’t want to like….but I can’t help it. 4.There has been a spate of programmes looking back at the sixties and seventies TV….and how un P.C. it all was….this was before the P.C.Brigade rose up and killed entertainment….I accept that through young eyes some of the antics on these programmes must seem pretty unbelievable but what is annoying is the likes of Biggins and some of the older female presenters looking totally shocked when watching it….they were there!!!...what’s the big surprise?..... Having said this we still have some funny comedians…Peter Kay being one of them…there was a great documentary on him the other night…he is very clever. Then at the other end of the spectrum we have John Bishop with his own show….oh dear. 5.I used to video the annual nativity for a primary school where my son was a teacher….and one year it featured two little 8 year old girls playing their violins…it was so bad I suggested to the parents that I send the clip to You’ve Been Framed….it was accepted and was featured on the Christmas special….we were invited to go along to the show and meet Lisa Riley etc….so the parents took their kids and I went with my wife…I got 250 quid which I split with the two kids….and I told them “no matter what road you take in life you can always say you played your violins on TV on Christmas day…AND GOT PAID FOR IT!!...and not many people can say that”……I wonder what happened to them?
