Welcome back pole dancer to Science of Slink. In this episode we are touching on an important topic, 5 Exercise Science Insights EVERY Pole Dancer Should Know.  I also wanted to start by including the link to Slinker's delight show tickets: https://slinkthroughstrength.as.me/?appointmentType=60959877 Click the link above to join this awesome opportunity to see pole tricks.  As pole dancers 5 super important things is training in different facets of fitness. To start, flexibility is one form of fitness to focus on. Flexibility is also commonly referred to as ease of movement. Flexibility is important to trail actively and passively.  Next is strength, both absolute and relative. Absolute strength is about how much you can lift. Relative strength is more relevant to the body weight-based pole, meaning you can lift 100% of your body weight.  Endurance is our next important one. For endurance, there is cardio typically which brings strength for your heart. Endurance is the ability to move over a long period of time and recover quickly.  Balance is our 4th most important thing to focus on, especially if you wear heels in your routines. In balance training, the sensory & vestibular systems are heavily involved. One thing to improve your balance is eye training.  Last but not least is Skill-specific training, skill training is repetition with variation. This includes motor learning, some examples of skill training are inverting, handstands, and specific tricks. These sessions of skill-specific training will generally align with your goals and your training of the aforementioned important training that will help you build your skills indirectly.  One more important way to build your skills is periodization. More often is not always better: Olivia Reeves, the Olympic weightlifter, who won gold in Paris who Majored in exercise science only trains four times a week whereas most train 9 times a week.  One last thing to keep in mind is how to adjust the intensity of your practice and What counts as rest. For adjusting intensity adjust how long, how often, and how hard you train. Medium intensity is great! So What counts as rest? What you find resting depends on you But ALWAYS good quality sleep is a great way to recharge!  Slink Through Strength Email Sign Up:  ⁠http://eepurl.com/iimjnX⁠ Join pole instructor & personal trainer Rosy Boa as she chats with experts about the evidence-based practices you can introduce to your pole journey to improve your pole journey and feel better.

Better late than never, I ran into some issues with editing this week......still had a little trouble with the audio.......but the show must go on, Learning opportunity. This week, I have a guest, yes a real guest and he is an artist. IG: @coreybarksdaleart Corey Barksdale grew up in Nashville, where his mother's fastidious attention to detail and his grandmother's quilts inspired him to choose art. “I used to watch her create quite a bit,” he says of his grandmother, “and she was really inspiring with the images she created.” Barksdale's Atlanta murals are characterized by bright colors and strong ties to community and identity. “At one point he thought he wanted to do architecture,” he says, “but he thought that was just different people encouraging him to do architecture because they thought it would be more lucrative. Corey has always enjoyed people, painting, and figures, so when he was about 10 years old, he had an idea that this is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.” We talk about being an artist (a black artist), grandma's quilts, black history, juneteenth, and the business of art.

Welcome to the Woman in Tech Series from the Global Tech Leaders Podcast. Today we are speaking to Chelsey Krisay Chief of Staff at Trainual and rewriting the rule book for your organisation's playbook. She is very much a people person with an operational background. Prior to helping launch Trainual in 2018, Chelsey was the first employee at Organize Chaos, an operations consulting firm also founded by Chris Ronzio, CEO of Trainual. In her five+ years at Trainual, she has helped the team grow from 1-90 employees (and growing), exceed 10M in ARR and earn top rankings on notable workplace awards like Inc Best Workplaces. We kick off by asking Chelsey to share her career journey and what has led her to where she is today. Grew up in a small town. Majored in business, communication and psychology. Digital advertising to events. Organised Chaos. Standard Operating Procedures. A little bit of everything. We ask Chelsey, how do you sell that the company is new and we want you to build it with us. Outbound. People were excited. Then we ask Chelsey do they use their own solution at Trainual. Today yes. In 2018 no. Process super solidified before documenting it. Everything is documented. Company retreat. iOS & Android. Next, we ask Chelsey who would they target at Trainual. Target persona businesses with 5 to 500 employees. People-powered businesses. Repeatable processes are set in stone. Recruitment process. Videos from leadership. Broken down into roles. Implementation Specialist. Chrome extension.

Jason Roberts Bio Family Background:Born August 5, 1975 in Bryan TX to Mary and George RobertsTwo brothers Michael (8 yrs older) and John (1 year younger)Dad (George) was a college professor at Prairie View A&M University HBCU for many yearsMom (Mary) was a high school teacherGeorge was the first black to receive a PhD in Mathematics from the Texas A&M UniversityGeorge was a twin (brother Roy) and one of 11 children. He was born and raised in East Texas (Carthage) very poor but his parents (Baker and Thelma) stressed education for all of their children.Mary was one of 4 girls (also from Carthage). She met George in college (Wiley - Marshall TX - HBCU) George was a math genius but committed suicide at the age of 65.Mary retired shortly after his death and after 40+ years of teaching.She still lives in Hempstead TX.Currently married (to Tiesha aka Tie) with three children: Jalen (22 - Sr. SDSU), Karis (18 - Fresh Penn State), and Kaden (13 - middle school)Childhood and Young Adult:I grew up in Carthage (rural east Texas) prior to moving to a small town outside of Houston (Hempstead) shortly after my dad started teaching at Prairie View - 5th grade.I have fond memories of growing up with 30+ first cousins, working and fishing with my favorite uncle during the summers, helping my dad who also raised cattle.Work ethic was a key part of how I was raised. All of my role models (mom, dad, uncles, aunts, etc.) were always working, all the time!After moving in the 5th grade I went to school in a small town next to Prairie View (Waller). Graduated from there and then went on to college at the University of Texas at Austin.Majored in Mechanical Engineering, but realized later that I didn't want to be an engineer, so I got a minor in business.Was very active on campus (president and step master of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc, active with Dean of Students Office, etc.)Met my wife (Tiesha aka Tie) in college.Had our first child shortly after graduating and getting married in 1999 (son - Jalen)Early Career:First job out of college was as a Production Facilitator with Johnson and Johnson (Ethicon) in West Texas ( San Angelo). Jalen was actually born there.Worked the 2nd shift in a production plant where they manufactured sutures, bone mesh and other medical products. Lead a team of employees that pieced together the sutures.Loved it there, but moved to Houston after one year to be closer to family and after a difficult pregnancy.Took a job in Houston with then Anderson Consulting (now Accenture). Started as a Tibco Developer (programming) before eventually moving into more business consulting in addition to systems integration consulting.Enjoyed the fast pace consulting environment and the learning, achieving early promotions to both Consultant and Manager levels.However, the fast pace took a toll on my personal life. Especially after our daughter was born, so I stopped traveling and took a local project in Houston.Shortly after that, my dad committed suicide (February 13, 2006). To this day, I feel that if it was more acceptable to discuss and be open with how you feel (especially as a black man and our challenges) that my dad would be here today.His death affected me more than I realized which I would come to understand later. It was also the catalyst for change in my early career. Shortly after, I decided to leave consulting and move into an industry - to allow me to go back to school and get my MBA. It was there that I met one of my lifelong mentors (Darily Jones). She was one of very few Black women executives in oil and gas in Houston at the time. Encouraged me to follow through on my plans to get my MBA and even supported me at work. Even went out of her way to get the company to cover more of the costs for my MBA (at Rice University).  She has helped me tremendously over the years and we still stay in touch to this day.Mid Career:After getting my MBA an opportunity presented itself to use this new found knowledge with a larger company. So I made the transition to the waste industry (i.e., trash and recycling) in 2011. Becoming a Director of Innovation and Business Optimization at Waste Management.The guy that hired me is another one of my lifelong mentors and someone who has helped me grow - Dave Murphy (aka Murph). He specifically hired me into his small - but high profile - innovation group because he wanted someone who did not grow up in the industry and was not white. Get that, a white dude who understood the power of diversity, and actually sought it out.Murph was a huge part of my growth and development at WM. He made sure I had opportunities to interact with the C-Suite, and eventually honored his promise to me to get me P&L responsibility.My first P&L responsibility was running a small retail product business called Bagster (~ $50 Million business).  Loved having the opportunity to run a business and make strategic decisions that impacted the top line. Not just run a department that was a cost center - which in my experience (at the time), was where you would find the black folk in leadership. Not in operations or sales, but in support functions.After my success with Bagster and an internal leadership development program, I was promoted to General Manager and asked to move to California to learn frontline operations in depth (2016).Before I left for California from Houston, I remember Murph telling me that “If I didn't figure out what made me tick, I would kill myself”. I didn't understand then the power of his words, but I would later.This move is truly what provided me the opportunity to see frontline operations upfront and personal. It's also from this experience that I got the idea to start my own company. More on that later.After moving to CA and running a large collections operations (i.e., 100+ drivers and staff that pick up your trash, recycling, and green waste) I quickly realized that the men and women doing the lion's share of the work were not treated as the valued assets that they were.  And this didn't sit easy with me. I struggled internally with whether I could continue to climb in a company knowing what I now knew. I felt like my values didn't align with the trajectory I was on, and on top of that, I was set up to fail. But I also felt so much pressure to keep climbing that corporate ladder, since I was the ONLY black executive in operations at the time. That, along with the stress of transitioning to operations with very little support, took a real toll on me.In fact, at the age of 42 (Oct 7 2017), I had a stroke while at Big Bear vacationing with my family and friends. I was airlifted to Loma Linda hospital where I spent several days in the hospital. Luckily I had no long-term damage, but I remember sitting in the hospital thinking that I needed to make a change or I would die.  Murph's words to me before I left Houston all of a sudden became crystal clear.Shortly after my stroke, I decided to see a therapist for the first time. This was probably the best decision of my career, and potentially life saving. She helped me understand “what made me tick” and how my childhood played a huge role in what was happening in the current day. She helped me better manage the stress and tension of life. To this day, I credit her not only with saving my life, but with making me a better, more self-aware, compassionate person.Current Profession (Story Behind Frontline Careers):A few months after my stroke, I was at a golf tournament in Scottsdale AZ (Waste Management Open). There I had the opportunity to hear Mike Rowe (the TV celebrity) speak. He virtually called out business leaders in the room for devaluing the skill trades and putting too much emphasis on college degrees. His words resonated with my experience on the frontlines. It was at that moment that I had the idea to start what would later become Frontline Careers. The idea: help frontline workers find companies that did understand their value and worth. After having the idea, I first called my wife and then a long-time friend (Ari) with whom I had countless conversations lamenting my displeasure with the work environment and how folks were treated. His background as a PhD IO Psychologist was perfect for what I envisioned.They both loved the idea, and after a year and half getting my affairs in order, I made the decision to leave Waste Management, and co-found Frontline Careers with Ari (Jan 2020).  Tie helped us as an outside consultant initially (via her non-profit consulting company) but we later brought her on as a co-founder given her direct and tireless involvement from the early stages of the company. Tie currently serves as Chief Digital Officer (she's got mad marketing skills), Ari as our Chief Operating Officer (he's one hell of a scientist), and myself as CEO.Shortly after we founded the company, the world stopped moving due to COVID, but we did not. We used the time to launch our website, conduct market research, and eventually build and launch beta versions of our job site and proprietary frontline workplace assessment.Today, we have a growing social impact startup focused on connecting frontline workers looking for more with companies that offer more. We use our proprietary Frontline FriendlySM assessment to get anonymous feedback from frontline employees (only) in an effort to determine if a business or company truly does care and invest in their frontline staff.  Those that are, earn our official Frontline FriendlySM company certification which is good for one year.In addition to our certification, we also offer a job site that only features frontline jobs offering more than just pay.We recently certified the first-ever Frontline FriendlySM company (Little Cakes Kitchen in Vista CA) and are in the process of beginning more assessments in San Diego.For years I have thought of writing a book titled “Corporate America is not for Me”. Speaking to the corp america experience as a black man.  However, the point of the book is that Corp America actually is for us (hence the “not” is struck through), because it provides the perfect opportunity to learn on someone else's dime and build the skills necessary to gain the freedom you need and desire.At least that has been my experience. My time working as a supervisor in a plant, learning to code as an analyst, planning and leading large projects as a consulting manager, overseeing a p&l with a large marketing budget, and even running frontline operations consisting of hundreds of hard-working men and women,has all better prepared me to lead my own company.And most importantly, my personal mental health journey has also equipped me with the tools necessary to handle the inevitable pitfalls and setbacks you suffer as a startup founder.  PersonalEmail: jason@frontlinecareers.comFacebook: facebook.com/jason.roberts.14473426Instagram: jjroberts06Clubhouse: @jasonjrobertsLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jason-jerome-roberts Frontline CareersWebsite: frontlinecareers.comEmail: info@frontlinecareers.comTwitter: @FrntlineCareersFacebook: facebook.com/frontlinefriendlyInstagram: frontlinecareersLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/frontline-careers 

or: Double Recappuchino with extra CONCACAFfeineYour pigeon-print pals are back with another double-recap as NYCFC continues its dramatic CONCACAF Champions battle to the top, simultaneously with the beginning of its star-blazoned post-cup season of MLS. Jake & Trey hit the sweet & sour notes of a Vancouver match that looked an awful lot like August 2021, then pivot to a Conneticutian "home" match against Guatemalan club Comunicaciones that may have been messier but also ended much more satisfying with a 3-1 first leg lead!Then: have you ever wanted to hear global geopolitics discussed by porn-addled doomscrolling dipshits? Good news! What about horrific tragedies, at home and abroad? We've got that too! And somehow, we managed to squeeze a teeny tiny Montreal precap for this weekend in. Take out your test-approved no. 2 pencils: you've got Blue Balls.

In this episode, I am having a conversation with the amazing and innovative Lola Berry. Lola's work experience is incredibly rich and expansive. She has a Bachelor of Health Science, written 11 books, was an entrepreneur in a smoothie business, worked in television, runs a coffee business, hosts a podcast, and so much more. We chat about Lola's experience with failing and how she has grown to learn that it's inescapable and a part of our human experience. Her journey through closing businesses, receiving rejection, and learning when to quit (both in business and in relationships) has given her priceless knowledge and intuition that she passionately wants to pass on. Lola is a big advocate for the power of therapy. It has supported her through many challenges, but has also supported and triumphed her through the good times. We need to rewire our thoughts to speak positively to ourselves and move forward. I'm so excited to say that Lola has shared all of her expert knowledge in her newest book, “Fearlessly Failing”, that's due to hit the bookstores on the 1st of November.

We are delighted to have Ivy in the studio with Ray today. Having involved in several missions with Operation Mobilization (OM) including traveling with the OM ship (LogosHope) and a South African mission discipleship training, Ivy has found her heart in Africa. Petite yet with a bold voice, Ivy shares confidently of her experiences being in the field in Zambia, and how her college study in journalism has supported her work in missions. To “think of your audience” is a great tip from Ivy when creating social media content. Ivy saw the potential and vibrancy of people in Africa above all cultural and communication barriers and continues to serve her 4th year in Zambia. Ivy's story brought to mind an encouragement from a God-fearing elderly person I met. This person told me that “you will NEVER regret walking in the perfect will of God”. The roles that God puts us in may be very different, but when you start living that life of obedience it rewards and fuels us with joy. About our special guest Ivy Chiu, a young Taiwanese lady who has been involved with global missions since graduated from University. Majored in Journalism, she has been maximizing her expertise during her time serving overseas, using social media as a means to mobilize more people to explore God's work around the world. On her own blog, she introduced herself - "previously a city girl rushing into the Taipei metro everyday, now enjoys walking around beautiful villages at Lake Tanganyika, Zambia. She likes to listen to people's stories and write newsletters (really a rare species). Her dream is to become the shortest giant in the world." Let's keep it that way. Powered by Firstory Hosting

Ben was born and raised in Charlottesville, Va. He went to Penn State and got his degree in Meteorology. He was doing TV weather for a number of years before he decided to get into real estate   While Greg is raised in Staunton, VA. Majored in Finance & Economics then became a realtor to learn about RE investing but quickly learned that wasn't the route. Worked in F&B in the early 20s before starting the investing journey with Ben around 26.   Greg and Ben used to wholesale almost exclusively. They took a long pause around 2016 and asked themselves what they want for their lives. The answer: They want more security and more freedom.   That is when they decided to dive headfirst into financing land. They want their business to serve what their life goals are. With the help of Note School and all the things they have learned over the past few years, this leads to change the path of their lives and business.   Their goal is to build a bank with good solid assets/notes. They believe that If you do it correctly you have so many options other than just cash flow from your bank.   As they grew their business they are also learning how to leverage those options to grow their portfolio as well.   Uncover Why Savvy Investors Use Proven Mortgage Note Strategies for Massive Monthly Profits In Today's Ever-Changing Market… Risk-Free!

While visiting the Greenville area, we met up with Roger Merchant, a long time forester and advocate for Maine's woods. He took us on a trek into Big Wilson Stream Forest, which is an area of old growth forest that he helped discover and protect. Some of the trees in this stand are over 200 years old. In this episode, Roger talks about forestry, Maine's ecotourism potential, and his fears about the effects of climate change on our forests, among other things.

Ian Ellis First saw the game in 1984 on channel 4, Just like Russ Hewitt, Simon Hatcher. The first team he joined was his local team Crawley Raiders, First position he played was Corner He gained a thirst to want to play when he got involved but due to the 80's - there was a lot of limited knowledge which lead to gimmick offences where they would be phases of teams running the same offences. Had an opportunity to go to Bethany college which was brand new college, then went to a Liberal art college.

@thefluffy007 A Bay Area Native (Berkeley) I always tell people my computer journey started at 14, but it really started at 5th grade (have a good story to tell about this) Was a bad student in my ninth grade year - almost kicked out of high school due to cutting. Had a 1.7 GPA. After my summer internship turned it around to a 4.0. Once I graduated from high school, I knew I wanted to continue on the path of computers. Majored in Computer Science Graduated with Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science. Graduate Certificate in Information Security and Privacy. Minor in Math. Interested in security from a Yahoo! Group on Cryptography. Liked how you can turn text into gibberish and back again. Became interested in penetration testing after moving to Charlotte, and moonlighted as a QA while a full-stack developer. Co-workers did not want me to test their code because I would always find bugs. Moved into penetration testing space. Always had an interest in mobile, but never did mobile development and decided it wasn’t for me Became interested in bug bounties and noticed that mobile payouts were higher. At this time also completed SANS 575 - Mobile Device Security and Ethical Hacking. Realized the barrier to entry was VERY (almost non-existent) low in Android as it’s open source. Started to learn/expand mobile hacking on my own time The threat exposure is VERY high with mobile hacking. As you have a web app component, network component, and phone component. I always reference a slide from Secure Works.

(ibotpeaches.github.io) GitHub - MobSF/Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF: Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) is an automated, all-in-one mobile application (Android/iOS/Windows) pen-testing, malware analysis and security assessment framework capable of performing static and dynamic analysis. IntroAndroidSecurity download | SourceForge.net ←- link to my virtual machine and Androidx86 emulator Background: **consider this a primer for any class you might teach, a teaser, if you will**   Why do we want to be able to reverse engineer APKs and IPKs?  Android APKS (Android Packages) holds the source code to the application. If you can reverse this you will essentially have the keys to the kingdom. Developers and companies (if they’re proprietary) will add obfuscation - a technique to make the code unreadable to thwart reverse engineers from finding out their code. What are some of the structures and files contained in APKs that are useful for ppl analyzing binaries? Android applications have to have a MainActivity (written in Java). This activity is the entry point to the application. Android applications also have an AndroidManifest.xml file which is the skeleton of the application. This describes the main activity, intents, service providers, permissions, and what Android operating system can run the application. When testing apps for security, how easy is it to emulate security and physical controls if you’re not on a handset?  Pretty easy. You can use an emulator. I must forewarn though - you will need A LOT of memory for it to work effectively. Are there ever any times you HAVE to use a handset? An app that tests something like Android’s Safetynet and won’t run without it? Do they ever want perf testing on their apps? Was thinking about how you check events in logs, battery drain, using apps on older Android/iOS versions?  When organizations or developers ask you to test an app, is there anything in particular in scope? Out of scope? How do progressive web apps differ than a more traditional app?   Lab setup IntroToAndroidSecurity VM Android Emulator Tools to use Why use them? (free, full-featured) Setup and installation OS-specific tools? Tools used - Frida, Jadx-GUI (or command line), text editor. All of these items are free. No setup required if using my virtual machine :-) These apps are OS specific if you choose Linux or Windows. Callbacks Methodology Decompile the application - can use a tool titled - Apktool (free) Look “under the hood” of the application - Jadx-GUI (Graphical User Interface) or Jadx-CLI (command line) Connect your emulator/device using Android Debug Bridge (adb) Get version of Frida on device Look online to find correct version of Frida **this is important** Start to play around with the tool and see if you receive error messages/prompts. Can then go back to code that was reverse engineered and see where it’s located. Best practices Leave no stones unturned! Meaning you might see something that seems too rudimentary to work - and yet it does. Cert pinning -  Typical issues seen Hard-coded passwords, data that is not being encrypted in rest or transit.  Check out our Store on Teepub! https://brakesec.com/store Join us on our #Slack Channel!

I always reference a slide from Secure Works.   Link to YouTube Channel → thefluffy007 - YouTube   thefluffy007 – A security researchers thoughts on all things security – web, mobile, and cloud   The Mobile App Security Company | NowSecure   owasp-mstg/Crackmes at master · OWASP/owasp-mstg · GitHub   Rana Android Malware (reversinglabs.com)   These 21 Android Apps Contain Malware | PCMag   Android Tamer  -Android Tamer   The Diary of an (Inexperienced) Bug Hunter - Intro to Android Hacking | Bugcrowd   Android Debug Bridge (adb)  |  Android Developers   Goal: discussing best practices and methods to reverse engineer Android applications   Introduction to Java (w3schools.com)   JavaScript Introduction (w3schools.com)   Introduction to Python (w3schools.com)   Frida • A world-class dynamic instrumentation framework | Inject JavaScript to explore native apps on Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux, iOS, Android, and QNX (Frida can be used with JavaScript, and Python, along with other languages)   GitHub - dweinstein/awesome-frida: Awesome Frida - A curated list of Frida resources http://www.frida.re/ (https://github.com/frida/frida)   Android APK crackme: owasp-mstg/0x05c-Reverse-Engineering-and-Tampering.md at master · OWASP/owasp-mstg · GitHub   Reverse-Engineering - YobiWiki   Apktool - A tool for reverse engineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps.

If you can reverse this you will essentially have the keys to the kingdom. Developers and companies (if they’re proprietary) will add obfuscation - a technique to make the code unreadable to thwart reverse engineers from finding out their code.   What are some of the structures and files contained in APKs that are useful for ppl analyzing binaries? Android applications have to have a MainActivity (written in Java). This activity is the entry point to the application. Android applications also have an AndroidManifest.xml file which is the skeleton of the application. This describes the main activity, intents, service providers, permissions, and what Android operating system can run the application.   When testing apps for security, how easy is it to emulate security and physical controls if you’re not on a handset?  Pretty easy. You can use an emulator. I must forewarn though - you will need A LOT of memory for it to work effectively.   Are there ever any times you HAVE to use a handset? An app that tests something like Android’s Safetynet and won’t run without it? Do they ever want perf testing on their apps? Was thinking about how you check events in logs, battery drain, using apps on older Android/iOS versions?    When organizations or developers ask you to test an app, is there anything in particular in scope? Out of scope? How do progressive web apps differ than a more traditional app?   Lab setup IntroToAndroidSecurity VM Android Emulator   Tools to use Why use them? (free, full-featured) Setup and installation OS-specific tools? Tools used - Frida, Jadx-GUI (or command line), text editor. All of these items are free. No setup required if using my virtual machine :-) These apps are OS specific if you choose Linux or Windows. Callbacks Methodology Decompile the application - can use a tool titled - Apktool (free) Look “under the hood” of the application - Jadx-GUI (Graphical User Interface) or Jadx-CLI (command line) Connect your emulator/device using Android Debug Bridge (adb) Get version of Frida on device Look online to find correct version of Frida **this is important** Start to play around with the tool and see if you receive error messages/prompts. Can then go back to code that was reverse engineered and see where it’s located.   Best practices Leave no stones unturned!

The Passion Project crew is excited to announce the arrival of their first child: Zen Castr! This is really a plea for Zencastr to sponsor the show, but there was a lovely discussion on unconventional parenting styles. But speaking of children, this week's guest is Emily Carpenter, a NYU student who works part time at a pre-school in New York City. Emily discusses how she came to love teaching and working with young kids, how the school has been adapting to COVID-19 guidelines, and how, even at a pre-school level, education can and needs to be reformed. Not that it's easy to radicalize a 2-year old, but it's never too early to learn. Also, check out Emily's Christmas song covers on her IGTV (@hey_itsemily) And her latest vlog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJHiUjmVUuw&feature=youtu.be --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Episode 7 We welcome Educator, Author, and Equity advisor Anil Naik to the show. Anil has Majored in Both History and Anthropology, he has also traveled to over 50 countries and spent extensive time in the Middle East, Asia, Europe and Africa. Anil currently teaches and resides in the Portland metro area. We enter a conversation around race and ethnicity following some of his classroom guidelines to Doing your best, Be compassionate, Be Curious & Open Minded, Be engaged, Listen to each other. Topics: The importance of race and ethnic studies as a call to action right now with this global racism conversation. How does educating ourselves help the issues being raised in our society right now?  Media Influence?  The importance of understanding terminology (White Privilege, Defund the Police, anti-racist vs non-racist)? Listening and learning is an extremely important action to be taking right now.  If we were new to your race and ethnic studies course, what would be the first few things we discuss? Walls we would break down? acknowledgments we would make? Ground Rules: Do your best, Be compassionate, Be Curious & Open Minded, Be engaged, Listen to each other Moment of Recognition Show Notes: Courage is very much involved in doing anti-racism work “Get comfortable being uncomfortable.” Bias/Implicit (Check your bias, our responsibility) Bias is built over time, research suggests that at a very young age we begin to form it. unknowing, we aren't entirely responsible for it, We are responsible for addressing our bias (Part of unpacking privilege)  We can't necessarily control the first thought that comes to our head, but we can control the second, and we can control our actions and how we react to things.

Born in Kansas City, Kansas, I lived in the same house from 13 months old till I got married 1971. Majored in math. Never kept track of my grades but graduated with honors. Which didn't make me feel smart made me feel there was something wrong with the school system. My parents and counselor wanted me to go to USC and I didn’t even feel like I could go to a junior college. Went to San Fernando State college then CSU Northridge. I never changed where I went, the state just changed the name. Majored in math till I took my first programming class. Then I was told they would be coming out with a computer science major. So I took every programming class I could. After 3.5 years they finally had a computer science major. Math engineering and physics combined with more prerequisites so at that point I dropped out. I was married and my husband was in a band. I worked 40 hrs a week and was a full time student. So I don't have a degree in anything! If they would have had the management information major I am sure I would have gotten a degree. It's not my fault I am older than the computer degrees. I moved to Redding on my daughters first birthday. June 1980. I was very blessed having my job when my kids were growing up. I got to go to school with them. I would pour up ceramic projects each semester and go to school and have the kids paint them. It meant so much to me but I didn't realize how many kids it meant a lot to also. I will see these kids someplace and they will tell me how much it meant to them and what they or their mom and dad still have that they made. I had a pituitary tumor 2 years ago and I couldn't go back to my job and people I loved so much. I was sleeping probably 18 to 20 hrs a day and totally wiped out if I went to town for a few hrs. My pituitary wasn't working properly. I had 2 medical doctors tell me that with the size my tumor was they were both surprised I am still here. But then I found this nutritious drink that gave me back my life. Talk about the product and they can try it this weekend at the home show.

In this episode the smalls talks to Mr. Mark Madic the Manager of Southern Colorado Innovation Link (SCIL), the name of the Regional Innovation Stategies Economic Development Administration Grant program, housed at Pueblo Community College. With a deep passion for supporting entrepreneurs and economic development initiatives, Mark is working with entrepreneurs in Southern Colorado to develop prototypes, receive patents, start businesses, and pitch to investors. Mark is a native of Southern Colorado, being born and raised in Pueblo. Mark earned a B.S. in Business at Colorado State University-Fort Collins, and Majored in Organization/Innovation Management and Marketing with a Certificate in entrepreneurship. Mark was eager to work for and with entrepreneurs in Northern Colorado, and was fortunate enough to start volunteering at the Institute for Entrepreneurship, housed through the CSU College of Business. In the program he was able to network with the spin out companies (the ones that started in the program) and work for numerous ones across multiple industries, including financial technology, private equity, consumer appliances. Through the years of experience, Mark helped keep the entrepreneurship programs going while there were frequent employee turnovers and small budget. Fortunately, the program grew into one recognized throughout the region, and with it, Mark worked full time as the Business Resident for Entrepreneurship programs. A key part of Mark's entrepreneurial experience also came from becoming an accredited facilitator for Startup Weekend-Techstars. Techstars is a global network of entrepreneurs, accelerator, mentoring, and financial resources for startup companies. They are consistently recognized as one of the most successful programs around the world. Startup Weekend is one piece of the network, the format is similar to a hackathon, where people participate by pitching ideas on Friday night, voting on the best ideas and forming teams, and then working all weekend to validate the idea and see if it can be feasible to start after the weekend is over. More than 193,000 people have participated in events across 150 countries. Mark has facilitated the events in partnership with Google, University of Denver, University of Wyoming, and CSU-Fort Collins across the front range. SCIL Mission The Southern Colorado Innovation Link's (SCIL) mission is to leverage a robust innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem to encourage the development and commercialization of intellectual property, to support innovators, entrepreneurs, creatives, and makers (IIECM), to promote the success and growth of commerce, and to foster sustained regional prosperity. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thesmalls/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thesmalls/support

Happy New Year everyone! And welcome back to the dHarmic evolution. Joining us on the first show of 2020 is Dr. Laura Mattia. So, sit back relax, get yourself a notebook and a pen, because this is going to be an action-packed, resourceful and informative podcast for all of you. Dr. Laura Mattia is a former corporate financial executive and has over 30 years of experience in Finance. She's also the founder of The Women's Money Empowerment Network – An educational Research program through the 501c 3 organization whose mission is to teach women to become financially engaged so that they can live life on their own terms, receive guidance and conduct research. Dr. Laura is also the author of Gender on Wall Street (A book uncovering opportunities for women in Financial services). She has currently dedicated her career in training the next generation of ethical, educated and inspired financial planners. Dr. Laura despite having Majored in Psychology, decided to take an MBA in finance and accounting in order to pay the house bills and support her family, this path would eventually lead her to the corporate world. It was while working as a woman in the executive world that she constantly got approached by women who requested help while handling financial matters in relation to issues such as divorce, workers' compensation, property management, etc. This would prove to be the root source of Dr. Laura's eureka moment, where she decided to shift into the role of a financial adviser. Having experienced a lot of gender-based difficulties and obstacles while working as an executive. Laura helps women who are currently in similar situations to successfully overcome such hurdles and have more fulfilling careers. The gender problem, Dr. Laura describes, is rooted deep in our societies and cultures. It subconsciously affects both genders. That's why we have so many women who have given in to less influential roles because they've bought into the stereotype of where women are supposed to be. Dr. Laura spends a lot of her free time running to keep fit. She has also been regularly meditating ever since she was introduced to the art by her father when she was 13. ‘'Is it nature or is it nurture?

Donnie B.: All right, guys. I got to tell you, strap it in for today because I met this gal at a freaking summit and her whole presentation had me cracking the fuck up. I just love her vibe. I love her energy. This is going to be a fun one. So I'm bringing in Rachel Kaplan. I'm Donnie Boivin. This is Donnie’s Success Champions. [Music] Donnie B.: Rachel. Okay. So my dear, please, tell us your story. Rachel K.: Oh, thanks for having me and botching my name. I love it. Donnie B.: It's awesome. It's awesome. That's how you know you got a professional podcast host when he just totally blows your name completely up. Rachel K.: Love it. It doesn't matter, right? Yeah. So my story and I'm assuming you mean like the deep, dark, real story, right? Donnie B.: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, can you do me a favor? Rachel K.: Sure. Donnie B.: Because you just launched a really badass podcast. Rachel K.: I did. Donnie B.: What's the chance you could pull off your pitch for our listeners really quickly? Rachel K.: Oh my God. I know it by heart. Donnie B.: Fucking, guys. Listen to this. Absolute fun and let it rip. Rachel K.: We're going to start with the pitch. I'm going to take my mic out of the stand for this one. Okay. So success folks, what did you do to make that feeling go away this morning that you had to poop? Did you buy something? Eat something? Did you post something on social media to try to get enough likes? Or did you go to the nearest bathroom and take a poop? I'm guessing you did number two, literally, because you're potty-trained. So you know that that is the only way to make the feeling that you need to poop go away. But unfortunately, you are not emotionally potty-trained. So you, like me and so much of our culture waste countless hours, money, energy, effort trying to medicate and distract yourself out of your painful human emotions and it just doesn't work. When instead, you could just learn to let those hard feelings move through you like a good poop. I'm Rachel Kaplan, a successful psychotherapist and the host of the new and noteworthy podcast, The Healing Feeling Shit Show and I've got sad news, happy news and amazing news. The sad news is that when I was just 14, my first love committed suicide and that loss devastated my life. The happy news is it set me on a relentless pursuit to study the world's healing technologies. And the amazing news is that I have streamlined the single most effective and necessary skill that you, Donnie and your listeners need in order to have real well-being, true healing, let go of imposter syndrome and live the life of your dreams and it's as simple as fucking potty training. Let's collaborate. Join the feelings movement and let's flush this shit out together. Donnie B.: Oh, that's so fucking awesome. All right. So imagine you're in a room where you got tons of people pitching to try and get on your podcast and somebody like Rachel steps in and drops that on you. If you got a show like mine, you're fucking bringing her on. I mean, that's all there is to it. Rachel K.: Yeah. Super glad to be here and that was an amazing experience. It was a powerful thing to meet so many people really at the heart of their story and their mission and then to see how people do under pressure because it’s a lot of pressure to do something like that in front of 200 people and it really showed me, “Buckle up girl!” Donnie B.: Or as my people would tell you, “Suck it up, Buttercup. It's about to get real.” Rachel K.: Nice. I like that. Donnie B.: All right. Rachel K.: I mean, I just referenced my story but really, I mean, I was your average semi-secure, sensitive, awkward, almost teenager. I would say that this is not where all of my challenges and issues started. I was just growing up like everybody was growing up. But the first person that I really became obsessed with, in love with, just wanted to be with all the time, he was really kind of all I cared about and it started when I was 12, was this boy, this young boy named Keith and we were together for a couple of years. We were friends. And he was like, handsome, athletic, sarcastic, hilarious, the class clown, popular, all those things, right? And then in 1994, when we were both 14, this whole kind of situation unraveled where I thought he was going to maybe go to a drug rehab for a couple of months. But and I'm not going to spoil this story because actually, Episode 4 of The Healing Feeling Shit Show is the narrative in full glory. Donnie B.: Nice, shameless plug. Rachel K.: I mean, I don't get anything from you hearing that. But you’re going to have a much more beautiful, you're going to have a big, old, sappy cry kind of poop that day. When you listen to it, you're going to have your heart broken for your 14-year-old self. Anyway, basically, I was the subject of his suicide note. Donnie B.: Oh, fuck! Rachel K.: And yeah. He killed himself and I actually put my life on the line. I felt quite trapped in the situation. It's funny. I'm kind of like leaning over to the left because I'm trying to avoid this glare in my room. If I look like I'm falling over, it's just the light. So I did everything I could. I didn't know what to do. I was a child but I basically discovered that I thought that the best option to try to stop him was to tell him that I would kill myself also. And so I did that. I told him that. I told him I'd never forgive him and still, the next morning, I woke up to, and it took me some effort to find the suicide note because it was left in his house and his family didn't understand it. It was cryptic. Only I understood it. But basically, his suicide note meant, “Make sure my sun still shines.” Our nicknames were sunshine. So make sure that I don't commit suicide also. But no one knew that but I did. So that, I mean, talk about, I'll fuck you up, right? Donnie B.: Yeah. Real quick. Rachel K.: I think suicide is just utterly devastating for anyone at any age. It's really, and I'm not going to get into how far out and metaphysical I am but just so your listeners know and if anyone's drawn to this, it's also devastating for the person who does it and I do think part of my mission now as I harvest the gifts of this brutal journey that started in so much pain is to plug for the whole world that maybe suicide actually isn't an end to the pain. We won't go there because everyone believes what they believe about what death is and what's on the other side or not. But it's devastating for everyone involved and it took me a while. For a lot of years, I just felt like, “Well, I had to do this. I had to kind of start studying these healing modalities. I had to move toward relief and wellness.” But it was really a choice. I should give myself credit. I could have become a drug addict, right? I could have committed suicide myself. I could have … I did try things like moving into the recesses of my very quick mind for a few years. That was fun. Became bitchy and jaded and sarcastic and all kinds of methods to avoid this pain. But basically, I'd say, by the end of high school, I started coming back down the long 6 inches, 8 inches, what do you think? How long is my neck? I'm not sure. Donnie B.: 24. Rachel K.: 24 inches. We got a giraffe over here. I just started descending the length of my neck metaphorically back into my body where I really was pretty devastated and in pain and that was the beginning of a long journey, a very long journey and what's cool about what I'm doing with this and feel free to just wink at me if you want me to shut up. Donnie B.: I got you. I got you. Rachel K.: Okay. Is that, it really did lead me all over the world and part of in the last year, it's been almost exactly a year since I've been making my podcast and getting it out. What I've harvested, what I've realized in the kind of offering this into the world is like, I really have been at this for 25 years and my journey specifically brought me to, I lived in Nepal for a year. That's the little tiny country between, where Mount Everest is, between China and India, for anyone who doesn't know or didn't understand what I said. There, I started studying yoga and the Eastern traditions pretty young. Started teaching yoga by 22. Majored in Eastern religions, learned all kinds of like, what does the East have to offer as far as healing? And then I have a master's in counseling psychology and did all the training. I've done all the cutting edge modalities and trainings in Western psychology. And the person who is the most fucking helpful, really like the person I owe my well-being, my happiness, my life to, is someone who calls himself a traditional song healer. You’re probably like, “What is that?” Donnie B.: I have no idea what that even means. Rachel K.: Yeah. I mean, the best thing, the word that will peak the closest association for your listeners and for you is shaman. He’s someone who’s become deeply initiated into a native path and who is like a very gifted healer. I'd say he’s one of the most powerful healers alive on the planet. But he would hate that I'm talking about him on the Internet. I've agreed to him to not use his name. But really, the work I did with him, which was pretty badass. I mean, I have brought forth fire with a bow drill set that I fucking carved myself. I've been like on international like rock and roll tour by myself and bringing forth the fire, carving a set and bringing forth the fire is still the coolest thing I've ever done. The healing technologies that he had and the way he confronted me and showed me all the ways that I was still in pain and still acting out from that pain really changed my life. And there's a whole magic to it. Just one thing, I already mentioned this. This is a side note, but I happen to be a divorcee which I highly recommend. Donnie B.: I highly recommend. Wow! Rachel K.: And just one thing is, if someone says they’re divorced, probably the right answer is, “Congratulations.” Because we're also conditioned and so much of what I'm helping people understand is, how to relate to the conditioning that we have. We’re also conditioned to think that what makes people happy is, achieving these list of what our society gives us. Like, the white picket fence, the this, the that, the this, the that. And if it's not the right marriage, if it's not the right job, if it's not the right, it doesn't matter how great you look on Instagram. If you don't feel happy inside like really happy inside or really solid inside, then you're living a lie and you know it, right? But anyway … Donnie B.: Okay. Let's jump in. You got a fun shit. We're going to have some fun here. Rachel K.: Just the one thing I want to tell you. The reason I was working so hard with that healer is because I was in this beautiful but very challenged marriage and the day that I finally and organically without any effort, like I wasn't trying to control this, left the marriage was the 22-year anniversary of that young boy's death. And I was scheduled to move into this apartment on a Monday, but it was really rainy. So we pushed the movers and I pushed it back and I ended up moving out of my marital home on the dead boyfriend's birthday. So all I'm saying is, there is a magic in the universe and got me full circle to be able to offer what I'm offering and thank you, Donnie for letting me finish that story. Donnie B.: No, that’s awesome. Rachel K.: I’m ready now. Donnie B.: All right. So if you remember anything about me at the thing, I am not a big woo-woo guy. I so loved how many people were talking about the woo-woo stuff at that event. It was quite humorous to me. I mean, even so far as that I had a couple of people there try to do some of their woo-woo stuff on me to get on my show and none of it worked. I mean, but it was still funny to watch them try. But I say all that to say, I'm not a complete skeptic. I do believe in some of the stuff. I couldn't tell you what it is that I believe in, right? So, God, what a fucking crazy ass ride. Rachel K.: Yeah. Donnie B.: What made you decide to go overseas? Rachel K.: You know, I was in high school and my mom went back to college to finish college while I was in high school and she was in this Easternreligions class and she was like, “You know Rachel, I think you might be a Hindu.” She was wrong and I had a huge moment actually while I was living over there. It was Christmas and I was at a Hindu ashram and they were doing this whole Jesus thing and I was like, what the hell am I doing here? Like, I'll never be a Hindu. I'm not a Buddhist. Even no matter how dope your meditation practice is. I'm a Jew. Like, why am I so far from exploring the actual roots I have? What I was looking for, I would say that this experience really made me question, what is reality and how can there be God? How can the universe be good or be safe when something like this happens? And there's all kinds of books like, When Bad Things Happen to Good People. It's just like, if we're really awake to just know woo-woo, just like you're living in the world. It's hard to grok how there's so much pain and there's so much suffering and inequality and all these things and so in some way, I kind of put my, what I had been raised to believe was God and the Jewish world or the Jewish religion on hold. I was like, “No, I don't believe this.” And I was just looking for some answers and also, I'd say, Judaism has a kind of hidden mystical side. And so I was looking for something that felt more explicitly alive and one thing just to speak to the woo-woo, I mean, it's funny because I'm like the real deal in the sense of, I've actually studied all that shit. I speak Nepali. I’ve deeply delved into these different traditions and I can't stand when people lead with that. I mean, especially like on dating apps. Like when a guy looks like they're just like, they just can't wait to tell me how spiritual they are. I kind of want to puke in my mouth. Like, I think if you’re really spiritual, it means that you're a good person. You don't have to brag about it. You're showing up to your life. You're functioning well in the world and it's like a very personal, private connection that does not need to be on display. Donnie B.: Well, it's even funner when you happen to find yourself at a place where somebody automatically starts reading what your horoscope and they're way off and wrong. And when you tell them they’re wrong, they get really pissed off. Rachel K.: Yeah. Very spiritual right there. Donnie B.: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they're completely into their … so it's amazing that, I don't know, some people carry their stuff around like it's a flag or a badge of honor that they've done something, you know? And it doesn't define you but some people want it to. Rachel K.: Right. Yeah. Yeah and this experience right now being so deep in the energy of the podcast and what I'm doing there, it’s interesting because it definitely connects me more to that suicide. But probably as recently as five or seven years ago, like most of my friends knew nothing about the story. I mean, it was a cool experience to go from being so defined by that to really like, not actually defining myself by that at all. And now, I'm kind of in this place where I'm holding both which is like, this really did impact my whole life. It changed the entire trajectory. I mean, I could be a fucking accountant. Who knows? Like, who knows what I would be? And I can't even regret it. I would never regret that it happened in the sense of, that would be regretting who I am and what I'm doing in the world and I also hold that it was really devastating. It really actually made a lot of things really hard and so to be able to be with both, the gift and also the challenge. It was a terrible burden that ends up being profoundly useful for hundreds of people and hopefully now, more than that. Donnie B.: Well, I'm a firm believer that everybody goes through something and it shapes them. It doesn't mean they were meant to go through it but it damn sure shapes their journey of who they become and oftentimes, you can look back on things and at least in theory, go, “Well, that taught me this.” Rachel K.: Right. Donnie B.: It doesn't mean it necessarily taught you that but you can take a lesson away from it. Rachel K.: If not, you're asleep. Donnie B.: Huh? Rachel K.: And if not, you’re asleep. Donnie B.: I agree. Well, most people avoid a challenge altogether. They don't want to step into it, right? They don't want to, 1, relive it because it's too traumatic, horrifying, whatever. They're not looking for the lesson, right? Or the flipside of it, they won't create challenges in their life moving forward because they're afraid of what they may discover once they put themselves in that situation. Rachel K.: Right. Donnie B.: How did you come up with this whole shit? You know, thought theory. Rachel K.: Yeah. Well, I’ll tell you one second. But I just want to speak to what you just said because it's really powerful which is, it's true like what you just spoke to is really at the heart of what I'm teaching with the Shit Show which is that if we are trying to avoid our pain and it makes sense that we are. It's the best strategy all of us have come up with. There's some biological and kind of early childhood origins for trying to avoid our pain and then our economy is literally funded by us believing that if we buy the next thing, we’ll feel worthy. And so all of the messages everywhere are not, “Go have your pain.” They’re, “You need this and you'll feel better if you do this and this and this.” And so what that does create, if we have that fear of our pain, our emotional shit, what I'd say, we can't actually live our lives. We can't take risks. Those people are not going to be blowing up their businesses. They're not going to be ragingly successful. They're not going to be willing and brave enough to fall in love because all those things become terrible risks and what I think the outcome of someone who learns how to feel their feelings and go through this deep healing journey that I'm creating or just deals with themselves in whatever way, is emotional resilience. And I say that emotional resilience is the new happy. It's better than happy because it's like, if you do the healing work, I feel pretty happy a lot of the time. But no one's going to be happy all the time if you're alive. We're all going to die. We're going to lose our cellphones. Shitty things happen. It's like, that's not what life is. Life is not a journey of only happy but if you know and I know that I can handle any feeling that comes because I can move it through me like a good poop, then I can actually be who I am. I can take these big risks. I can put myself out there because I know that when it gets hard, I'll just deal with it and that's what emotional resilience is and I think it’s like, ultimately liberating. Donnie B.: No, I love it. I love it. It's interesting is the years I spent in the sales training game. I did a lot of study on rejection because I was really trying to find the way to work with the people that I was training to get them out of their own way so they could actually go have a fucking conversation. It's all a sales call is. It's just damn conversation, right? And it was interesting. They actually tracked rejection as far back as the cavemen. And here's the thing. Back in the day with all the dinosaurs and shit, I just thought this was fascinating, is if you got rejected from the tribe of people, you were out on your own and that was dead, right? And it's an interesting concept and it was funny to stand in front of a room and go, “Dude, this shit is ingrained in you.” Rachel K.: Yes. Donnie B.: You got to step into it and move forward and knowing that shit's going to happen. I love saying shit a lot because you got me saying it because of your show. Rachel K.: Yeah. I talked about that in the same exact construct in the second episode which is like, how do we get so wounded? And it is like that. That confluence of that in our cells, in our nervous systems. We’re wired to feel like if we lose love, it's death and there was some truth there, right? Like an unloved, untended baby could die, right? Donnie B.: Right. Rachel K.: There's all kinds of science studies that are backing it and that's what informs a field of psychology today called Attachment Theory about just how important that secured attachment is. But if you combine that with the fact that we were raised by flawed humans who are doing their best and their parents were probably even having a harder time than they were. So what we are going to do is we're going to be conditioned based on that biology of, we’ll die if we're not loved to be who we think our parents need us to be and the degree of like, subtle messaging there and the degree of a little infant’s effort to do whatever it takes to stay close to the parent is so deep that what I say is, we kind of take all these parts of us and start pushing them down into the basement, right? So if you're a little boy and you cry a lot and your dad keeps telling you, I mean, this is the classic, right? About boys don't cry or don't be sensitive or even when parents just are like, “Shhh. You're okay. You're okay. Shhh.” It's like, there is this messaging not to feel and then you tap on middle school and high school and then our society is like, we have all these parts of us and the most impactful ones, the ones that really screw people up are the ones that get pushed down so early but we have all these parts of us that are pushed down into the psychological basement where we're trying to hide them at the dinner party or in the locker room or on a date and those parts, because they're not part of us because we don't show them, because we can't be loved for them and with them, despite them, we end up feeling like they make us worthless or unlovable. Like, we’re not enough or we’re too much. Some kind of inherent core wound that makes us feel like if people knew us well enough, they wouldn't love us and we suck. Donnie B.: Yeah, I love it because one of the reasons I launched this show was, I grew up on inspirational messages. That was my go-to. Give me the good after-school PBS special or something, right? That was my thing. And when I launched this show, I want to hear what everybody else overcame and because somewhere along my journey, I don't know what happened. I realized that what you went through and the minute you can share that story to other people is one of the most life-changing things you can do is share what you've been through because your healing or you may still be going through the healing process, helps somebody else on their journey and that to me is one of the most amazing things in the world. But people are so scared of that past of what people will think of them. Go back to the rejection side of things, right? They don't want to share what they've been through for fear of what may happen. Rachel K.: Right. Yeah and then we never can realize that we're lovable even though we're lovable with and when we push all those parts of us, whether it's what we've been through or just what we thought was wrong with us down, we're not going to create a life that serves us as well. And so the early journey and I'm going to come back to your question about, how did I come up with the Shit Show model but the early journey of healing is really about getting very curious about, who's in the basement? Who have you pushed down? Who are you trying to hide and how can you make them the VIP? I recommend one simple, fun, awkward thing your listeners can do is put a picture of you at the most awkward space. Like, a young picture where you were sure that you were really just like, not okay yet. Donnie B.: So that was my entire elementary years. Rachel K.: Yeah. Donnie B.: All of them combined. Rachel K.: A most horrifically awkward and cutest picture of you and put it on your home screen and every time you look at it, explore. Can you turn toward that part of you? Can you look at it without that repulsion or aversion and just be like, “Oh look, I was so cute.” And start to kind of welcome it and basically, to heal these parts that the shortcut and I describe these things at length in various places but like, you got to turn them from the part that's like sequestered and the problem, the scapegoat into the VIP and when you do that, because like, in the beginning, yeah, our parents shaped us and there's lots of people who can be angry or play the victim card. But once you're a grown-ass adult, which I think most people probably on this podcast listening to this are, it's like, nobody's going to do it for you and nobody can do it for you. So it's your job. You are the person who kept that part of you in the basement the rest of your life. And so it's your job to reestablish trust with this part that's like, “Who the fuck are you, Donnie? I don't know you at all.” That was awkward. Whatever it is. Donnie B.: But that's complete ownership, right? I mean, that is truly taking ownership of your life which is one of the scariest things in the face of the earth for people. I’m always correlating shit back to sales because that's my game but early in my career, my years, I mean, it was always somebody else's fault. The company wasn't providing enough marketing. The economy sucked or whatever else and it wasn't until somewhere along that journey, I got to the point where I said, “Fuck! Quit blaming everybody else and suck it up, Buttercup and get after it!” Rachel K.: Yeah. Well, that's another place where the shit metaphor is so perfect because, can I poop your food out for you? Donnie B.: No. Rachel K.: I can’t. No matter how much I might co-dependently want to. So here's the deal, you asked me where this came from and it's like, I told you I did all the study. It's been a long journey. I've been a professional paid psychotherapist and gotten paid somewhere because you know, I'm in the beginning of, I need all your books and supports on how you actually monetize a podcast. But I've been doing that work for 13 years and doing my own healing work for 25 and so what I came to understand is the single best metaphor for any person to get how they needed to learn to relate to their emotions is pooping because as I said in my pitch, even though I know not everybody has an easy time pooping just like people can't cry, people can't cum, there's all kinds of things that organic mechanisms our bodies have to keep us in homeostasis get messed up because we get messed up, right? But basically, I'm going to put out the theory that you have an easier time pooping than you do crying and shaking when you're afraid and dealing responsibly with your anger. So generally, we know that when we have to poop, that's the only way to not have to poop is to poop and it's actually literally the same, not metaphorically the same. It's actually the same that the only way to truly feel better whether we're anxious or we suddenly get really mad or we’re heartbroken is to allow that feeling to come out of the body. Take the letter ‘e’ off the word emotion. What do you have? Donnie B.: Motion. Rachel K.: Motion. It means, to move and everyone that I start working with in the beginning, they say to me, “But if I feel my pain, if I feel my sadness, I'll never stop crying. I'm going to drown in it.” And it's a very natural fear. But unless someone just experienced a death or a breakup, let's put on a timer. Let's see if you can cry for more than two minutes. It's actually tremendously hard. It takes like a lot of strength and a certain kind of, a lot of what I'm teaching, the reason why the cliché or metaphor bumper sticker level, “Have your feelings. Join the feelings movement,” isn't enough. The reason why I actually put in hours and hours into creating a course and now, I'm putting all kinds of support to that course is that it's actually really hard to do if you spent most of your life trying to not have your feelings and what are some ways people might not have feelings? It's like, drugs, alcohol, buying. I mean, the white things behind me right now. It's like a closet full of sweaters. Every time I had a feeling, that's my drug of choice. It's like, I buy pretty clothes. I love clothes but we all have these things that are go-to. Whether it's porn or success. How many people are trying to think that if you have a beefed-up enough LinkedIn profile or you have enough promotion, do you have enough money in the account, you're going to feel better about yourself? Well, surprise! Why do we see so many incredibly-amazing, talented, successful, pinnacle of our society kind of artists and creators committing suicide or dying through overdose? It's because none of that shit works and what a devastating moment when you reach the top of that ladder, you’re then alienated because you're famous and people are weird with you and you're still in terrible pain. And so what this whole mission is like, “Look guys, we have a way to understand it. Every single CEO and business person and political leader and woo-woo person and skeptic, everyone poops. It is actually as grounded as it could be. It's not woo-woo.” It's like our bodies, we sweat, we poop. If we get a cut, the body knows how to heal it. Of course, the emotional system has a mechanism as well. And so it's really just the way to help people understand it. And the last thing I'll say about how I came up with the metaphor is that it's very intentional that I'm choosing something that is shrouded in shame. Like if I dropped a really stinky deuce, I wouldn't be like, “I really want you to smell it. Come here.” And because there's a little bit of shame we have, hopefully, we don't advertise their shit. We don't shit with other people in the room. Although, I have. It’s a great way to ruin a chemistry. And so there's some shame about pooping but I think there's actually less shame about that than there is around the parts that don't feel like they're enough or that feel worthless. And so I'm intentionally bridging something and then putting it, I mean, the end of my jingle is a flush. It's an amazing jingle. It was the first thing I did. I’m like, “I'm making a podcast.” I love music. So I'm like, “I’m making a podcast.” And I wrote and sang a jingle. It’s awesome. You got to hear it. It'll get stuck in your head though. I'm kind of putting this whole information, this journey in lightness, in humor. Every episode has a story and all of the listeners, guys, I’m running out of poop stories. I need your poop story. Basically, each episode has a really funny, whoops, I pooped my pants kind of or something similar. Donnie B.: I'll send you one because it involves an RV and extracting the poop out of the RV. I've got it. I'll get that story to you. Rachel K.: So putting it in lightness. The truth is, this is really heavy where becoming able to feel our pain can be scary but it's like, it's not a big deal. It's no bigger deal than your next poop. Like, we don't look at each poop to say, will all of my poops be like this? Or what does it mean about me that I pooped. I pooped yesterday. What if the guys find out I'm pooping every day? People don't think that but we do about our feelings. Oh man, I'm crying again? What's wrong with me? And so I'm trying to be like, lighten up the whole field around it, reduce the shame because that's the only way we're going to not keep doing these horrific acts. Donnie B.: Let me challenge this just a little bit because I love where this is all coming from. I really truly do. But I've been pooping since I came out of the womb. Rachel K.: Nice. Donnie B.: Right? Everybody is. And shit, I'm good at it. Give me a good strong cup of black coffee and life is good, right? Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Totally. So it's natural. It comes to me, right? It's clockwork. Rachel K.: Right. Yeah. Donnie B.: Working on yourself is not. Rachel K.: But it’s not working on yourself. It's not like a new age course in the sense of like reflecting. What I'm saying is that the emotions, so the way I describe emotions is they’re clusters of sensation rolling in squads. Donnie B.: All right. Rachel K.: So they're like, they're really intense sensations that when you get angry, you might feel a lot of heat rising. Your forearms might swell. You might have tightness in the muscular structure. Donnie B.: So like in the movie, Inside Out. Which one of those little characters is this? Rachel K.: There was an anger character, right? Donnie B.: Yeah. The little red dude. Rachel K.: What I'm saying and because people have been trying to not, they haven't been feeling for so long. There is work you need to do. I see what you're saying, but I'm saying, if we can get the body back into and the ability, the emotional system back into its organic kind of how it’s intended to serve us, what it will mean is, you start and I'll come back to, there's something important about how to deal with people who have a backlog of log. Donnie B.: Did you sit around and just see how many puns you can come up with? Rachel K.: Not necessarily. But I will tell you that I'm getting, I am now, I've always been associated with the band, Radiohead and rainbows. So those are my brands where people, they send me pictures of rainbows. I'm like, how did I do this? This is like stunning branding. Donnie B.: Did you start getting pictures of shit coming to you? Rachel K.: I'm at least getting the poop emoji’s. People are like, “I thought about you on the toilet today.” And you know what? I love it. Yeah. So if we can get our bodies back to that state where we don't have that massive backlog, then it will mean that when something happens that throws us off, our body will send us the signal. Very much like you get a signal when you need to shit. You have these sensations you know how to identify. So you would get a set of sensations that you need to identify or that you could identify that, “Oh, I think I need to cry.” And once you start these practices, like I have practices, Episode 7 through 10, and I'm going to give your listeners a way to kind of dive right into the action and try it out which I'll tell you about but like, they each break down one of the feelings. So anger is where I start. It's the most taboo emotion and one of the ways, I mean, certainly, the thing I've done that was the best for me is chopping wood, dead wood with an ax and I've taken two dozen of my clients out to the woods with axes and taught them how to chop wood. But you can also simulate chopping on your bed. You’d take a towel or a blanket and you beat the shit out of your bed or your cabinet. Donnie B.: Oh, shit. If somebody wants some work, come out to the farm. I got plenty of trees that need to be taken down. We’ll chop some logs up. I'll put their asses to work and we'll work on your anger. Rachel K.: Yeah. Then they also have to work on probably hitting the wood in the certain place. Donnie B.: Oh, yeah. And then stack it and then clean everything up and put all the tools away. Rachel K.: Yeah. All physical activity is actually really good for anger work. So there are certain things you do when you need to have an anger tantrum and there are ways to do it when you're in a car. There are ways to do it on a walk. There's ways to do it at the gym and then there are certain things, a different kind of energy. So anger, what do we want to do when we are angry? We want to destroy. We want to explode. It's like an external energetic, right? Not to get too woo-woo. But what happens when we cry, right? Or when we're sad? It's like, we want to collapse. Water literally drips out of our face. It's a downward energy. It's a slowing down. It’s a swampy pulling energy. And so to move that, you have to do a different set of activities. You can't do great sadness work after you've had caffeine because you're like, “I feel great.” That's why we all love caffeine but caffeine is fine for anger work, but for sadness work, it's about slowing down. It's about, how do you swaddle yourself? Whether it's in your bed or in a bathtub with warm water and sad music. Like, how do you create that kind of containment where you actually can start to open up to how sad you are? And the same thing, fear and shame are the deeper layers. Fear is tricky because it's both explosive and implosive and so you have to either kind of have a frenetic fear party where you just twitch and shake. That's what animals do, literally. They shake when they're in … once they reach safety after trauma, they will just shake it until they feel better or with fear, sometimes, we feel paralyzed, right? We can't move or so we feel helpless and then that would be more of a crying release. So it's like, what I'm actually teaching you is, how do you actually tune into the way these sensations need to move? It's not in the head. It's not in our fancy thoughts. It's like being in the body where we can feel the thing that rises and needs to move just like your poop and then it's over. Donnie B.: So here's an interesting thing, is and I love this analogy. This whole thing is actually pretty cool. But through high school, I was an asshole. I was a guy invited to the parties because of the stupid shit that I was doing and a lot of times, it ended up in freaking some stupid high school fight of some sort. So I went to see a counselor on my parents’ recommendation. This dumbass counselor looked at me and said, “Here's what I want you to do. Every time your anger fills up, I want you to grab an ice cube and slam it against the wall so it shatters into a million pieces.” He’s like, “The other thing I want you to do is, if you don't have any more ice cubes, I want you to punch your pillow.” This is the two things he tells me. Let me tell you, I chunked a hundred ice cubes, I punched the shit out of my pillow, it didn't slow anything down. Rachel K.: Yeah. Well, I want to do therapy with you. But what do you think was going wrong for you? Why were you so angry? Donnie B.: It was upbringing and everything else. But it's, I just, I struggle with people putting and I'm not saying you put a blanket over everything but the same methodology doesn't work for everybody. Rachel K.: Yeah. Well, there was also, yeah. That's not the whole picture and one of the … so one of the episodes where I get most into strategy, the next episode is like troubleshooting. I'm like, “Yeah, that sounded easy. It's not and here are all the problems you’re going to have.” And one of the things I speak to is, it's not a fix-all. Now, the truth is, it's not a fix-all but anyone who can't have their feelings is going to definitely be not well. Just like if you weren't shitting, you wouldn't be healthy. It's not possible to be healthy if you're repressing all your feelings. But it doesn't mean that having your feelings is always enough. I mean, I think that what I'm outlining for people is always going to be tailorable and unique to that person which is why ideally, that's why this is like a fun adventure of, how do I make this very personalized work something that I can share with a massive group of people? I mean, we're coming up on 20,000 downloads at five weeks in and how do I make it useful for them? And also, how do I make myself available? And how do I help people kind of work with this? So that's been a fun creative project for me. But like part of it is, the feelings. The skill that I'm teaching is the feelings but the other piece and what I would have wanted to do with you if I was with you back then is really explore what was going on. I mean, you were obviously, when we're children, we’re subject to our environment. It's the one place where victim mentality or helplessness. We don't have full agency and control over our lives. We can't set up all of what we need. And so, did you have the support you needed to be dealing with whatever you were dealing with? What were those messages? Donnie B.: The interesting thing about that time is, I went and seen a different counselor dude. Whatever the hell he was, psychologist. I don't know what he was. And we sat down and had an hour-long conversation. At the end of that conversation, he said, “I want to talk to your parents.” I said, “Cool. Cool.” I left the room, went out and sat on the bench. Mom and dad walked out and said, “All right, cool. Let's go.” I asked them years later what that counselor said to them because that session fixed a lot of my shit. Rachel K.: Hell, yeah. Donnie B.: The reason it fixed it was he simply told Mom and Dad, “Let him go. Let him fucking explode. He's going to hit rock bottom so fucking hard that he's going to start climbing.” He was right. It’s exactly what freaking happened. So it was an interesting moment because I had an understanding that what I was doing wasn't the right actions. But I had no reason to stop. Rachel K.: Yeah. Donnie B.: It was interesting. Rachel K.: Yeah, no, rock bottom really, it's something to push up against. Donnie B.: Yes. Oh, J.K. Rowling has the best quote of all times on it. “Rock bottom is a foundation I built my life.” And I freaking love it. Rachel K.: There's a similar thing here in the sense of, if we're trying to stay above our feelings, our pain, our worthlessness, our shame, I mean, shame actually burns like hell. I mean, it's like, to really feel how worthless and wretched we can feel, it's actually excruciatingly uncomfortable. So when we sink down, when we get the skills to do that where we actually can experience these parts of us, there's no stress, there's a sense of peace and this is who I am. And then things really start to open up and flow. I have clients every week come in being like, “I was able to cry for half an hour.” And they're so proud of themselves or like, they had some tantrum and it shifts things where the thing that you were trying to not do becomes the thing that you can feel strong and own your strength for. And I really think if we don't earn something, we can't own it. And so when there is that challenge of hitting rock bottom or learning how to overcome your resistance to your feelings and feel it and learning how to do all these hard things, that's where we actually feel good about ourselves and proud and that's what can't be taken from us. That's not the validation. That's like worth. Donnie B.: Right. I just had this pop in my head. Because of my military background, I have a shit ton of veterans that listen to this show and the biggest struggle that veterans have is what they get once they get out of the military. It's not usually what they've gone through that destroys them. It's the lack of the buddy system. It's the lack of the camaraderie. It's the lack of those people around that takes them down to the wrong and dark paths. So two seconds, if you can think about it off the top of your head, how does somebody work through that when you spent years with the same 30 guys day in, day out, shit, showered, shaved together, the whole nine yards and now, you're out on your own trying to figure out, what the fuck am I supposed to be doing with my life? Rachel K.: Right. Well, it's a really good question and one of the things that I think it speaks to is another piece of the healing puzzle which is, we need to be connected to something bigger than ourselves. And I mean, I don't know. It's kind of surprising to me in this day of modern technology where we've got Facebook groups for fucking everything. I'm surprised that there aren't more ways that … Donnie B.: There's groups for veterans. The problem is the bravado, right? So if a guy goes in there and yeah, there's situations where if somebody's really south, the whole groups usually will come together and take care of him, right? But most times, man, if somebody shares what they're going through, it's not necessarily looked upon because you're supposed to be a badass at that point, right? Rachel K.: That’s the thing. That’s why I feel so strongly about reducing the shame around pain. And that will help the veterans as well. I mean, one thing, this is not exactly what you asked about with community but one of the therapeutic tools I practice which is like the gold star standard which every veteran should know about and look into getting which should be covered through the vet insurance is EMDR. It's , very effective, very quick tool to really process very acute trauma and then if you can't connect or if you can’t EMDR … Donnie B.: I had a gal on the show that had a very traumatic childbirth and she has like the 50th smallest baby ever born in the world that survived and EMDR is what helped her get through it. I was trying to recall her name but … Rachel K.: Yeah, it's cool. I mean, I actually think it should be malpractice to not know EMDR as a therapist. Also, just to offend everybody, I think that our therapeutic industry is B minus at best right now and part of my show is really being like, “Come on people, be willing to make people uncomfortable. Don't just try to keep them comfortable for their money.” Donnie B.: But that's most of the practice is. To jump in your bandwagon, is it's a business for them. They're not trying to help people. If they can keep them longer, less people they got to go find to use their fucking service. Rachel K.: I started firing my clients. I'm like, “This isn't working. You don't want to do it? You want to be a victim? No. I don't need your money.” Donnie B.: I tell everybody from a coaching perspective, “Hey look, if you're going to work with a coach, if they don't tell you that you're going to grow beyond their ability to coach you, then go find a different coach because that coach that want to keep you forever is a fucking idiot. But doesn't know actually how to help somebody move forward in their life.” Rachel K.: Yeah. So for those vets who are feeling alienated and alone and alone with their pain, I mean, to whatever extent they can start to get that, every single human, whether or not you've been in war or not or been in some of the extremes that they've been in or not has pain. And so there's nothing wrong with your pain and if they can start to turn toward it with a little more gentleness and curiosity and care, that's a really important word, care toward the part of them that's hurting. It's like, sometimes, when we're hurting, we want to attack ourselves. Like, what's wrong with me? That means you're literally attacking yourself for being in pain which is like, you've been shot by an arrow and you shoot another arrow just because the first arrow is there. We're already in pain. So that's part of what you can do. And then if the veteran community doesn't feel safe for those people as a means of sharing or connecting, it's really important to find what does and it doesn't always have to be humans. In fact, humans are often kind of out of balance. Sometimes, the natural world is often in balance. If you have literally no one to talk to, go find the closest most comfortable spot to create a relationship with a tree. Go every day and talk to a tree about your pain. Find out what kinds of activities, what kinds of things do you enjoy doing. Whether it's like a craft or a hobby or building or knitting. I don't know how many veterans are knitting. But what the fuck? It's 2019. Like some kind of … Donnie B.: A lot of veterans can saw. I don't know about knit. But we can saw. Rachel K.: Knitting for me is so soothing but anyway, it's like, how do we connect to something bigger than ourselves? But the first step of any of that, because to allow ourselves to be part of anything, we have to start working on being kinder toward ourselves, reducing the shame that we are how we are and just, even though we might not know for sure, just imagining, maybe other people have these feelings. That's why it's so healing when we share our stories and we start talking about the worthlessness we feel. And one of the cool things that's been happening in my practice is, I have six of my own clients that I've interviewed. They chose to. I didn't twist their arm. But I interviewed them for the Shit Show. And so throughout the twelve episodes of the first season, their voices and their experience are woven into what I'm sharing. So other clients of mine are able to hear. First of all, they're able to get what I'm saying in the form of like kind of course versus like intermixed with their own personal content. And so they're kind of lighting up around, “It makes so much sense.” And they're also hearing other people who are using very similar language because they're all in my healing world with me talk about things that they feel so deeply and there's something just so healing to be like, “Oh really? Everyone struggles with, are they enough? It's not just me?” And it's just so healing to know, “No, dude. This is the human condition and we live in a sick world.” There isn't a lot of balance and health in our world. You don't have to be inherently healthy and well to be in leadership, you know what I mean? But we’re going to have money. And it wasn't always like that. You and I both talked about cavemen in a different, older way. It's like, back in the day, if you’re hunting or you're living in direct connection with the Earth where there's not Uber Deliver and there's not like a grocery store where you buy something that you have fucking no idea where it came from, you had to be inherently well and balanced and strong in order to contribute to survive. And we don't have to do that now. We turn on light switches and we don't even think about where it comes from or water and buy we consume. We just want things instantly and I'm guilty of this too. I'm not preaching like I'm not doing this. Who doesn't love Amazon Prime? It's like, there's no inherent well-being in our society. And so of course, we're all sick with this and so the more we can just get real and be like, “Okay, how do I create this for myself? How do I do the best I can with what I've been given? How do I move all this shit through me with a flush? That's what's up.” Donnie B.: Champions, I hope you guys are enjoying this and do me a favor guys, go listen to her shit and swamp her show for me because I think she's got a badass message. I think she's got a really cool way of doing it. You've brought something to the surface that ranks of one of the most, sex you don't talk about, money you don't talk about and shit is something you don't talk about. It's the third one that I haven't heard thrown around and I'm so excited that you're taking this on. So keep spreading your message and keep embracing the hell out of this. Rachel K.: Thank you. Donnie B.: So let's do this. How do people get in touch with you or find your show, all that fun shit? Rachel K.: There's two ways and the easiest way, the way that’s going to streamline you into something where I'm going to give you a free little module of work and it also will just expose you right into the skill aspect of what I'm teaching, is go to www.yourcorewound.com. So yourcorewound.com all smashed together as they do and there is a quiz there and it'll take you less than five minutes and you're just going to rank numerically a bunch of statements and then I am going to see your quiz. I'm going to look at it and I'm going to enter it into a system where depending on what anger or what, excuse me, emotion you need to … Donnie B.: She’s expecting me to take it, guys. So that's why. Rachel K.: Depending on what emotion is dominant in your quiz, I'm going to send you a little kit that will give you the episode that correlates to that emotion and some of those aren't even live yet. I have no idea, Donnie when you're going to put this up. But it's actually like, you're getting ahead of what’s available currently on iTunes. So you'll get that episode. You'll get a list of strategies to try and a video of me kind of in my apartment trying to bring all of that to life. So you'll get that for free and it'll just have you dive in and check it out for yourself. And then also, I make it really affordable. If you want all of the emotions. The truth is, to really be well, we do need to be able to move through all the feelings. So there's a way where you can get that also. And then the way to just hear the Shit Show is to go to, if it's on iTunes, wherever it is, it's www.healingfeelingshitshow.com. Now, the ‘i’ in shit has turned into an asterisk because in the end, you know, I had to. iTunes won, basically. Facebook, you can’t sponsor any ads on here. And I was like, “Fuck you. Then I won't sponsor ads. I'm not changing my shit.” Even with the asterisk, they don't care. But iTunes, if iTunes says no, I don't have a problem. Donnie B.: They’re the 500-pound gorilla in the room. They shut my show down for six days because I had badass in a couple of the titles. So they’re … I’ll leave it to that. They suck when it comes to that kind of stuff. Get to the freaking times that we're in now. Hide my show behind another firewall that the kids can't see. I'm fine with that because the people who need to hear it will come find it. Rachel K.: So just anywhere you find podcasts, it's there. And I do recommend you go in order. That's why it's cool that I'm giving you the streamlined approach to the skills because people are busy and they might not have time and I want you to be able to start. Donnie B.: How long are your episodes? Rachel K.: They're pretty long. A lot of them are right around 90 or an hour. A few of them are around 90 minutes. Actually, all of the specific emotion episodes have 30 minutes of me doing unscripted therapy with someone that I just met and also, if people want to get involved, I'd love you, in addition to sending me your gross hilarious poop story, if you want to be a guest on my show or if you want to do therapy with me that we put online … Donnie B.: I’ll tuck it in. I'll do that. I'll do that. Rachel K.: I know. I have that thought. That would be fun to do with you. Donnie B.: Yeah. All day long. Rachel K.: You can do that. And also, you can send in questions. Donnie B.: Awesome. Awesome. Rachel K.: Healing Feeling Shit Show and YourCoreWound.com. Donnie B.: Beautiful. Beautiful. So guys, make sure you crash the system on that. I mean, she's doing some really cool things and taking on just in a really, really cool approach. Well Miss Rachel, we're stacked up against it. But here is how I finish every freaking show and I stump some people on. So stand by. Rachel K.: Oh, good. Donnie B.: If you’re going to leave the champions who listen to this show, people from, I think at this point, we’re at 79 countries all over the world. I don't know what else countries would be but 79 countries. Rachel K.: Or planets. Donnie B.: Yeah, right? Probably at this point. But, that are all going through their journey, on their mission, on their path, wherever they're going. If you were going to leave them with a quote, a saying, a phrase, a mantra, something they can take with them on their journey especially if they're stacked up against it and stopped up, you're welcome for that. What would be that quote or phrase you would say, “Remember this,”? Rachel K.: Yeah. There's so many that are coming to mind. But, “What is in the way is the way.” So what you think is holding you back, what you think makes you not enough, you need to embrace that, turn toward that, learn how to love that and it will open up the way for you into success, into self-love, into self-worth, which I think is the fucking bee's knees. Yeah. And if you don’t feel your shit, you’re full of shit. Just as a side note. I know you didn't say I could have two but if you don't feel your shit, you’re full of it. So don't do it like that. You can do better. Donnie B.: That's so awesome. Rachel, thank you so much for doing this, girl. I appreciate the hell out of it. Rachel K.: Really fun. Donnie B.: Awesome. Awesome. [Music] Donnie B.: Holy cow, guys. That was some raw shit. I got to tell you, I love … I mean, I've even gone back and listened to that episode and love her energy and vibe. Rachel really brings it every time I talk to her and I really enjoy that. Hey, you know, if you haven't come and join the Success Champions group on Facebook, you really need to dive in there. We’ve instituted this really, really cool thing that is just a blast and we're having a lot of fun with it.

Leave a comment and I love hearing from you guys. If I can ever be of help, shoot me an email at Donnie@DonnieBoivin.com. Hope to see you in Success Champions on Facebook. Keep kicking ass, guys. https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuccessChampion/ Go get that shit out, would you?

Donnie B.: All right, guys. I got to tell you, strap it in for today because I met this gal at a freaking summit and her whole presentation had me cracking the fuck up. I just love her vibe. I love her energy. This is going to be a fun one. So I'm bringing in Rachel Kaplan. I'm Donnie Boivin. This is Donnie’s Success Champions. [Music] Donnie B.: Rachel. Okay. So my dear, please, tell us your story. Rachel K.: Oh, thanks for having me and botching my name. I love it. Donnie B.: It's awesome. It's awesome. That's how you know you got a professional podcast host when he just totally blows your name completely up. Rachel K.: Love it. It doesn't matter, right? Yeah. So my story and I'm assuming you mean like the deep, dark, real story, right? Donnie B.: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, can you do me a favor? Rachel K.: Sure. Donnie B.: Because you just launched a really badass podcast. Rachel K.: I did. Donnie B.: What's the chance you could pull off your pitch for our listeners really quickly? Rachel K.: Oh my God. I know it by heart. Donnie B.: Fucking, guys. Listen to this. Absolute fun and let it rip. Rachel K.: We're going to start with the pitch. I'm going to take my mic out of the stand for this one. Okay. So success folks, what did you do to make that feeling go away this morning that you had to poop? Did you buy something? Eat something? Did you post something on social media to try to get enough likes? Or did you go to the nearest bathroom and take a poop? I'm guessing you did number two, literally, because you're potty-trained. So you know that that is the only way to make the feeling that you need to poop go away. But unfortunately, you are not emotionally potty-trained. So you, like me and so much of our culture waste countless hours, money, energy, effort trying to medicate and distract yourself out of your painful human emotions and it just doesn't work. When instead, you could just learn to let those hard feelings move through you like a good poop. I'm Rachel Kaplan, a successful psychotherapist and the host of the new and noteworthy podcast, The Healing Feeling Shit Show and I've got sad news, happy news and amazing news. The sad news is that when I was just 14, my first love committed suicide and that loss devastated my life. The happy news is it set me on a relentless pursuit to study the world's healing technologies. And the amazing news is that I have streamlined the single most effective and necessary skill that you, Donnie and your listeners need in order to have real well-being, true healing, let go of imposter syndrome and live the life of your dreams and it's as simple as fucking potty training. Let's collaborate. Join the feelings movement and let's flush this shit out together. Donnie B.: Oh, that's so fucking awesome. All right. So imagine you're in a room where you got tons of people pitching to try and get on your podcast and somebody like Rachel steps in and drops that on you. If you got a show like mine, you're fucking bringing her on. I mean, that's all there is to it. Rachel K.: Yeah. Super glad to be here and that was an amazing experience. It was a powerful thing to meet so many people really at the heart of their story and their mission and then to see how people do under pressure because it’s a lot of pressure to do something like that in front of 200 people and it really showed me, “Buckle up girl!” Donnie B.: Or as my people would tell you, “Suck it up, Buttercup. It's about to get real.” Rachel K.: Nice. I like that. Donnie B.: All right. Rachel K.: I mean, I just referenced my story but really, I mean, I was your average semi-secure, sensitive, awkward, almost teenager. I would say that this is not where all of my challenges and issues started. I was just growing up like everybody was growing up. But the first person that I really became obsessed with, in love with, just wanted to be with all the time, he was really kind of all I cared about and it started when I was 12, was this boy, this young boy named Keith and we were together for a couple of years. We were friends. And he was like, handsome, athletic, sarcastic, hilarious, the class clown, popular, all those things, right? And then in 1994, when we were both 14, this whole kind of situation unraveled where I thought he was going to maybe go to a drug rehab for a couple of months. But and I'm not going to spoil this story because actually, Episode 4 of The Healing Feeling Shit Show is the narrative in full glory. Donnie B.: Nice, shameless plug. Rachel K.: I mean, I don't get anything from you hearing that. But you’re going to have a much more beautiful, you're going to have a big, old, sappy cry kind of poop that day. When you listen to it, you're going to have your heart broken for your 14-year-old self. Anyway, basically, I was the subject of his suicide note. Donnie B.: Oh, fuck! Rachel K.: And yeah. He killed himself and I actually put my life on the line. I felt quite trapped in the situation. It's funny. I'm kind of like leaning over to the left because I'm trying to avoid this glare in my room. If I look like I'm falling over, it's just the light. So I did everything I could. I didn't know what to do. I was a child but I basically discovered that I thought that the best option to try to stop him was to tell him that I would kill myself also. And so I did that. I told him that. I told him I'd never forgive him and still, the next morning, I woke up to, and it took me some effort to find the suicide note because it was left in his house and his family didn't understand it. It was cryptic. Only I understood it. But basically, his suicide note meant, “Make sure my sun still shines.” Our nicknames were sunshine. So make sure that I don't commit suicide also. But no one knew that but I did. So that, I mean, talk about, I'll fuck you up, right? Donnie B.: Yeah. Real quick. Rachel K.: I think suicide is just utterly devastating for anyone at any age. It's really, and I'm not going to get into how far out and metaphysical I am but just so your listeners know and if anyone's drawn to this, it's also devastating for the person who does it and I do think part of my mission now as I harvest the gifts of this brutal journey that started in so much pain is to plug for the whole world that maybe suicide actually isn't an end to the pain. We won't go there because everyone believes what they believe about what death is and what's on the other side or not. But it's devastating for everyone involved and it took me a while. For a lot of years, I just felt like, “Well, I had to do this. I had to kind of start studying these healing modalities. I had to move toward relief and wellness.” But it was really a choice. I should give myself credit. I could have become a drug addict, right? I could have committed suicide myself. I could have … I did try things like moving into the recesses of my very quick mind for a few years. That was fun. Became bitchy and jaded and sarcastic and all kinds of methods to avoid this pain. But basically, I'd say, by the end of high school, I started coming back down the long 6 inches, 8 inches, what do you think? How long is my neck? I'm not sure. Donnie B.: 24. Rachel K.: 24 inches. We got a giraffe over here. I just started descending the length of my neck metaphorically back into my body where I really was pretty devastated and in pain and that was the beginning of a long journey, a very long journey and what's cool about what I'm doing with this and feel free to just wink at me if you want me to shut up. Donnie B.: I got you. I got you. Rachel K.: Okay. Is that, it really did lead me all over the world and part of in the last year, it's been almost exactly a year since I've been making my podcast and getting it out. What I've harvested, what I've realized in the kind of offering this into the world is like, I really have been at this for 25 years and my journey specifically brought me to, I lived in Nepal for a year. That's the little tiny country between, where Mount Everest is, between China and India, for anyone who doesn't know or didn't understand what I said. There, I started studying yoga and the Eastern traditions pretty young. Started teaching yoga by 22. Majored in Eastern religions, learned all kinds of like, what does the East have to offer as far as healing? And then I have a master's in counseling psychology and did all the training. I've done all the cutting edge modalities and trainings in Western psychology. And the person who is the most fucking helpful, really like the person I owe my well-being, my happiness, my life to, is someone who calls himself a traditional song healer. You’re probably like, “What is that?” Donnie B.: I have no idea what that even means. Rachel K.: Yeah. I mean, the best thing, the word that will peak the closest association for your listeners and for you is shaman. He’s someone who’s become deeply initiated into a native path and who is like a very gifted healer. I'd say he’s one of the most powerful healers alive on the planet. But he would hate that I'm talking about him on the Internet. I've agreed to him to not use his name. But really, the work I did with him, which was pretty badass. I mean, I have brought forth fire with a bow drill set that I fucking carved myself. I've been like on international like rock and roll tour by myself and bringing forth the fire, carving a set and bringing forth the fire is still the coolest thing I've ever done. The healing technologies that he had and the way he confronted me and showed me all the ways that I was still in pain and still acting out from that pain really changed my life. And there's a whole magic to it. Just one thing, I already mentioned this. This is a side note, but I happen to be a divorcee which I highly recommend. Donnie B.: I highly recommend. Wow! Rachel K.: And just one thing is, if someone says they’re divorced, probably the right answer is, “Congratulations.” Because we're also conditioned and so much of what I'm helping people understand is, how to relate to the conditioning that we have. We’re also conditioned to think that what makes people happy is, achieving these list of what our society gives us. Like, the white picket fence, the this, the that, the this, the that. And if it's not the right marriage, if it's not the right job, if it's not the right, it doesn't matter how great you look on Instagram. If you don't feel happy inside like really happy inside or really solid inside, then you're living a lie and you know it, right? But anyway … Donnie B.: Okay. Let's jump in. You got a fun shit. We're going to have some fun here. Rachel K.: Just the one thing I want to tell you. The reason I was working so hard with that healer is because I was in this beautiful but very challenged marriage and the day that I finally and organically without any effort, like I wasn't trying to control this, left the marriage was the 22-year anniversary of that young boy's death. And I was scheduled to move into this apartment on a Monday, but it was really rainy. So we pushed the movers and I pushed it back and I ended up moving out of my marital home on the dead boyfriend's birthday. So all I'm saying is, there is a magic in the universe and got me full circle to be able to offer what I'm offering and thank you, Donnie for letting me finish that story. Donnie B.: No, that’s awesome. Rachel K.: I’m ready now. Donnie B.: All right. So if you remember anything about me at the thing, I am not a big woo-woo guy. I so loved how many people were talking about the woo-woo stuff at that event. It was quite humorous to me. I mean, even so far as that I had a couple of people there try to do some of their woo-woo stuff on me to get on my show and none of it worked. I mean, but it was still funny to watch them try. But I say all that to say, I'm not a complete skeptic. I do believe in some of the stuff. I couldn't tell you what it is that I believe in, right? So, God, what a fucking crazy ass ride. Rachel K.: Yeah. Donnie B.: What made you decide to go overseas? Rachel K.: You know, I was in high school and my mom went back to college to finish college while I was in high school and she was in this Easternreligions class and she was like, “You know Rachel, I think you might be a Hindu.” She was wrong and I had a huge moment actually while I was living over there. It was Christmas and I was at a Hindu ashram and they were doing this whole Jesus thing and I was like, what the hell am I doing here? Like, I'll never be a Hindu. I'm not a Buddhist. Even no matter how dope your meditation practice is. I'm a Jew. Like, why am I so far from exploring the actual roots I have? What I was looking for, I would say that this experience really made me question, what is reality and how can there be God? How can the universe be good or be safe when something like this happens? And there's all kinds of books like, When Bad Things Happen to Good People. It's just like, if we're really awake to just know woo-woo, just like you're living in the world. It's hard to grok how there's so much pain and there's so much suffering and inequality and all these things and so in some way, I kind of put my, what I had been raised to believe was God and the Jewish world or the Jewish religion on hold. I was like, “No, I don't believe this.” And I was just looking for some answers and also, I'd say, Judaism has a kind of hidden mystical side. And so I was looking for something that felt more explicitly alive and one thing just to speak to the woo-woo, I mean, it's funny because I'm like the real deal in the sense of, I've actually studied all that shit. I speak Nepali. I’ve deeply delved into these different traditions and I can't stand when people lead with that. I mean, especially like on dating apps. Like when a guy looks like they're just like, they just can't wait to tell me how spiritual they are. I kind of want to puke in my mouth. Like, I think if you’re really spiritual, it means that you're a good person. You don't have to brag about it. You're showing up to your life. You're functioning well in the world and it's like a very personal, private connection that does not need to be on display. Donnie B.: Well, it's even funner when you happen to find yourself at a place where somebody automatically starts reading what your horoscope and they're way off and wrong. And when you tell them they’re wrong, they get really pissed off. Rachel K.: Yeah. Very spiritual right there. Donnie B.: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they're completely into their … so it's amazing that, I don't know, some people carry their stuff around like it's a flag or a badge of honor that they've done something, you know? And it doesn't define you but some people want it to. Rachel K.: Right. Yeah. Yeah and this experience right now being so deep in the energy of the podcast and what I'm doing there, it’s interesting because it definitely connects me more to that suicide. But probably as recently as five or seven years ago, like most of my friends knew nothing about the story. I mean, it was a cool experience to go from being so defined by that to really like, not actually defining myself by that at all. And now, I'm kind of in this place where I'm holding both which is like, this really did impact my whole life. It changed the entire trajectory. I mean, I could be a fucking accountant. Who knows? Like, who knows what I would be? And I can't even regret it. I would never regret that it happened in the sense of, that would be regretting who I am and what I'm doing in the world and I also hold that it was really devastating. It really actually made a lot of things really hard and so to be able to be with both, the gift and also the challenge. It was a terrible burden that ends up being profoundly useful for hundreds of people and hopefully now, more than that. Donnie B.: Well, I'm a firm believer that everybody goes through something and it shapes them. It doesn't mean they were meant to go through it but it damn sure shapes their journey of who they become and oftentimes, you can look back on things and at least in theory, go, “Well, that taught me this.” Rachel K.: Right. Donnie B.: It doesn't mean it necessarily taught you that but you can take a lesson away from it. Rachel K.: If not, you're asleep. Donnie B.: Huh? Rachel K.: And if not, you’re asleep. Donnie B.: I agree. Well, most people avoid a challenge altogether. They don't want to step into it, right? They don't want to, 1, relive it because it's too traumatic, horrifying, whatever. They're not looking for the lesson, right? Or the flipside of it, they won't create challenges in their life moving forward because they're afraid of what they may discover once they put themselves in that situation. Rachel K.: Right. Donnie B.: How did you come up with this whole shit? You know, thought theory. Rachel K.: Yeah. Well, I’ll tell you one second. But I just want to speak to what you just said because it's really powerful which is, it's true like what you just spoke to is really at the heart of what I'm teaching with the Shit Show which is that if we are trying to avoid our pain and it makes sense that we are. It's the best strategy all of us have come up with. There's some biological and kind of early childhood origins for trying to avoid our pain and then our economy is literally funded by us believing that if we buy the next thing, we’ll feel worthy. And so all of the messages everywhere are not, “Go have your pain.” They’re, “You need this and you'll feel better if you do this and this and this.” And so what that does create, if we have that fear of our pain, our emotional shit, what I'd say, we can't actually live our lives. We can't take risks. Those people are not going to be blowing up their businesses. They're not going to be ragingly successful. They're not going to be willing and brave enough to fall in love because all those things become terrible risks and what I think the outcome of someone who learns how to feel their feelings and go through this deep healing journey that I'm creating or just deals with themselves in whatever way, is emotional resilience. And I say that emotional resilience is the new happy. It's better than happy because it's like, if you do the healing work, I feel pretty happy a lot of the time. But no one's going to be happy all the time if you're alive. We're all going to die. We're going to lose our cellphones. Shitty things happen. It's like, that's not what life is. Life is not a journey of only happy but if you know and I know that I can handle any feeling that comes because I can move it through me like a good poop, then I can actually be who I am. I can take these big risks. I can put myself out there because I know that when it gets hard, I'll just deal with it and that's what emotional resilience is and I think it’s like, ultimately liberating. Donnie B.: No, I love it. I love it. It's interesting is the years I spent in the sales training game. I did a lot of study on rejection because I was really trying to find the way to work with the people that I was training to get them out of their own way so they could actually go have a fucking conversation. It's all a sales call is. It's just damn conversation, right? And it was interesting. They actually tracked rejection as far back as the cavemen. And here's the thing. Back in the day with all the dinosaurs and shit, I just thought this was fascinating, is if you got rejected from the tribe of people, you were out on your own and that was dead, right? And it's an interesting concept and it was funny to stand in front of a room and go, “Dude, this shit is ingrained in you.” Rachel K.: Yes. Donnie B.: You got to step into it and move forward and knowing that shit's going to happen. I love saying shit a lot because you got me saying it because of your show. Rachel K.: Yeah. I talked about that in the same exact construct in the second episode which is like, how do we get so wounded? And it is like that. That confluence of that in our cells, in our nervous systems. We’re wired to feel like if we lose love, it's death and there was some truth there, right? Like an unloved, untended baby could die, right? Donnie B.: Right. Rachel K.: There's all kinds of science studies that are backing it and that's what informs a field of psychology today called Attachment Theory about just how important that secured attachment is. But if you combine that with the fact that we were raised by flawed humans who are doing their best and their parents were probably even having a harder time than they were. So what we are going to do is we're going to be conditioned based on that biology of, we’ll die if we're not loved to be who we think our parents need us to be and the degree of like, subtle messaging there and the degree of a little infant’s effort to do whatever it takes to stay close to the parent is so deep that what I say is, we kind of take all these parts of us and start pushing them down into the basement, right? So if you're a little boy and you cry a lot and your dad keeps telling you, I mean, this is the classic, right? About boys don't cry or don't be sensitive or even when parents just are like, “Shhh. You're okay. You're okay. Shhh.” It's like, there is this messaging not to feel and then you tap on middle school and high school and then our society is like, we have all these parts of us and the most impactful ones, the ones that really screw people up are the ones that get pushed down so early but we have all these parts of us that are pushed down into the psychological basement where we're trying to hide them at the dinner party or in the locker room or on a date and those parts, because they're not part of us because we don't show them, because we can't be loved for them and with them, despite them, we end up feeling like they make us worthless or unlovable. Like, we’re not enough or we’re too much. Some kind of inherent core wound that makes us feel like if people knew us well enough, they wouldn't love us and we suck. Donnie B.: Yeah, I love it because one of the reasons I launched this show was, I grew up on inspirational messages. That was my go-to. Give me the good after-school PBS special or something, right? That was my thing. And when I launched this show, I want to hear what everybody else overcame and because somewhere along my journey, I don't know what happened. I realized that what you went through and the minute you can share that story to other people is one of the most life-changing things you can do is share what you've been through because your healing or you may still be going through the healing process, helps somebody else on their journey and that to me is one of the most amazing things in the world. But people are so scared of that past of what people will think of them. Go back to the rejection side of things, right? They don't want to share what they've been through for fear of what may happen. Rachel K.: Right. Yeah and then we never can realize that we're lovable even though we're lovable with and when we push all those parts of us, whether it's what we've been through or just what we thought was wrong with us down, we're not going to create a life that serves us as well. And so the early journey and I'm going to come back to your question about, how did I come up with the Shit Show model but the early journey of healing is really about getting very curious about, who's in the basement? Who have you pushed down? Who are you trying to hide and how can you make them the VIP? I recommend one simple, fun, awkward thing your listeners can do is put a picture of you at the most awkward space. Like, a young picture where you were sure that you were really just like, not okay yet. Donnie B.: So that was my entire elementary years. Rachel K.: Yeah. Donnie B.: All of them combined. Rachel K.: A most horrifically awkward and cutest picture of you and put it on your home screen and every time you look at it, explore. Can you turn toward that part of you? Can you look at it without that repulsion or aversion and just be like, “Oh look, I was so cute.” And start to kind of welcome it and basically, to heal these parts that the shortcut and I describe these things at length in various places but like, you got to turn them from the part that's like sequestered and the problem, the scapegoat into the VIP and when you do that, because like, in the beginning, yeah, our parents shaped us and there's lots of people who can be angry or play the victim card. But once you're a grown-ass adult, which I think most people probably on this podcast listening to this are, it's like, nobody's going to do it for you and nobody can do it for you. So it's your job. You are the person who kept that part of you in the basement the rest of your life. And so it's your job to reestablish trust with this part that's like, “Who the fuck are you, Donnie? I don't know you at all.” That was awkward. Whatever it is. Donnie B.: But that's complete ownership, right? I mean, that is truly taking ownership of your life which is one of the scariest things in the face of the earth for people. I’m always correlating shit back to sales because that's my game but early in my career, my years, I mean, it was always somebody else's fault. The company wasn't providing enough marketing. The economy sucked or whatever else and it wasn't until somewhere along that journey, I got to the point where I said, “Fuck! Quit blaming everybody else and suck it up, Buttercup and get after it!” Rachel K.: Yeah. Well, that's another place where the shit metaphor is so perfect because, can I poop your food out for you? Donnie B.: No. Rachel K.: I can’t. No matter how much I might co-dependently want to. So here's the deal, you asked me where this came from and it's like, I told you I did all the study. It's been a long journey. I've been a professional paid psychotherapist and gotten paid somewhere because you know, I'm in the beginning of, I need all your books and supports on how you actually monetize a podcast. But I've been doing that work for 13 years and doing my own healing work for 25 and so what I came to understand is the single best metaphor for any person to get how they needed to learn to relate to their emotions is pooping because as I said in my pitch, even though I know not everybody has an easy time pooping just like people can't cry, people can't cum, there's all kinds of things that organic mechanisms our bodies have to keep us in homeostasis get messed up because we get messed up, right? But basically, I'm going to put out the theory that you have an easier time pooping than you do crying and shaking when you're afraid and dealing responsibly with your anger. So generally, we know that when we have to poop, that's the only way to not have to poop is to poop and it's actually literally the same, not metaphorically the same. It's actually the same that the only way to truly feel better whether we're anxious or we suddenly get really mad or we’re heartbroken is to allow that feeling to come out of the body. Take the letter ‘e’ off the word emotion. What do you have? Donnie B.: Motion. Rachel K.: Motion. It means, to move and everyone that I start working with in the beginning, they say to me, “But if I feel my pain, if I feel my sadness, I'll never stop crying. I'm going to drown in it.” And it's a very natural fear. But unless someone just experienced a death or a breakup, let's put on a timer. Let's see if you can cry for more than two minutes. It's actually tremendously hard. It takes like a lot of strength and a certain kind of, a lot of what I'm teaching, the reason why the cliché or metaphor bumper sticker level, “Have your feelings. Join the feelings movement,” isn't enough. The reason why I actually put in hours and hours into creating a course and now, I'm putting all kinds of support to that course is that it's actually really hard to do if you spent most of your life trying to not have your feelings and what are some ways people might not have feelings? It's like, drugs, alcohol, buying. I mean, the white things behind me right now. It's like a closet full of sweaters. Every time I had a feeling, that's my drug of choice. It's like, I buy pretty clothes. I love clothes but we all have these things that are go-to. Whether it's porn or success. How many people are trying to think that if you have a beefed-up enough LinkedIn profile or you have enough promotion, do you have enough money in the account, you're going to feel better about yourself? Well, surprise! Why do we see so many incredibly-amazing, talented, successful, pinnacle of our society kind of artists and creators committing suicide or dying through overdose? It's because none of that shit works and what a devastating moment when you reach the top of that ladder, you’re then alienated because you're famous and people are weird with you and you're still in terrible pain. And so what this whole mission is like, “Look guys, we have a way to understand it. Every single CEO and business person and political leader and woo-woo person and skeptic, everyone poops. It is actually as grounded as it could be. It's not woo-woo.” It's like our bodies, we sweat, we poop. If we get a cut, the body knows how to heal it. Of course, the emotional system has a mechanism as well. And so it's really just the way to help people understand it. And the last thing I'll say about how I came up with the metaphor is that it's very intentional that I'm choosing something that is shrouded in shame. Like if I dropped a really stinky deuce, I wouldn't be like, “I really want you to smell it. Come here.” And because there's a little bit of shame we have, hopefully, we don't advertise their shit. We don't shit with other people in the room. Although, I have. It’s a great way to ruin a chemistry. And so there's some shame about pooping but I think there's actually less shame about that than there is around the parts that don't feel like they're enough or that feel worthless. And so I'm intentionally bridging something and then putting it, I mean, the end of my jingle is a flush. It's an amazing jingle. It was the first thing I did. I’m like, “I'm making a podcast.” I love music. So I'm like, “I’m making a podcast.” And I wrote and sang a jingle. It’s awesome. You got to hear it. It'll get stuck in your head though. I'm kind of putting this whole information, this journey in lightness, in humor. Every episode has a story and all of the listeners, guys, I’m running out of poop stories. I need your poop story. Basically, each episode has a really funny, whoops, I pooped my pants kind of or something similar. Donnie B.: I'll send you one because it involves an RV and extracting the poop out of the RV. I've got it. I'll get that story to you. Rachel K.: So putting it in lightness. The truth is, this is really heavy where becoming able to feel our pain can be scary but it's like, it's not a big deal. It's no bigger deal than your next poop. Like, we don't look at each poop to say, will all of my poops be like this? Or what does it mean about me that I pooped. I pooped yesterday. What if the guys find out I'm pooping every day? People don't think that but we do about our feelings. Oh man, I'm crying again? What's wrong with me? And so I'm trying to be like, lighten up the whole field around it, reduce the shame because that's the only way we're going to not keep doing these horrific acts. Donnie B.: Let me challenge this just a little bit because I love where this is all coming from. I really truly do. But I've been pooping since I came out of the womb. Rachel K.: Nice. Donnie B.: Right? Everybody is. And shit, I'm good at it. Give me a good strong cup of black coffee and life is good, right? Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Totally. So it's natural. It comes to me, right? It's clockwork. Rachel K.: Right. Yeah. Donnie B.: Working on yourself is not. Rachel K.: But it’s not working on yourself. It's not like a new age course in the sense of like reflecting. What I'm saying is that the emotions, so the way I describe emotions is they’re clusters of sensation rolling in squads. Donnie B.: All right. Rachel K.: So they're like, they're really intense sensations that when you get angry, you might feel a lot of heat rising. Your forearms might swell. You might have tightness in the muscular structure. Donnie B.: So like in the movie, Inside Out. Which one of those little characters is this? Rachel K.: There was an anger character, right? Donnie B.: Yeah. The little red dude. Rachel K.: What I'm saying and because people have been trying to not, they haven't been feeling for so long. There is work you need to do. I see what you're saying, but I'm saying, if we can get the body back into and the ability, the emotional system back into its organic kind of how it’s intended to serve us, what it will mean is, you start and I'll come back to, there's something important about how to deal with people who have a backlog of log. Donnie B.: Did you sit around and just see how many puns you can come up with? Rachel K.: Not necessarily. But I will tell you that I'm getting, I am now, I've always been associated with the band, Radiohead and rainbows. So those are my brands where people, they send me pictures of rainbows. I'm like, how did I do this? This is like stunning branding. Donnie B.: Did you start getting pictures of shit coming to you? Rachel K.: I'm at least getting the poop emoji’s. People are like, “I thought about you on the toilet today.” And you know what? I love it. Yeah. So if we can get our bodies back to that state where we don't have that massive backlog, then it will mean that when something happens that throws us off, our body will send us the signal. Very much like you get a signal when you need to shit. You have these sensations you know how to identify. So you would get a set of sensations that you need to identify or that you could identify that, “Oh, I think I need to cry.” And once you start these practices, like I have practices, Episode 7 through 10, and I'm going to give your listeners a way to kind of dive right into the action and try it out which I'll tell you about but like, they each break down one of the feelings. So anger is where I start. It's the most taboo emotion and one of the ways, I mean, certainly, the thing I've done that was the best for me is chopping wood, dead wood with an ax and I've taken two dozen of my clients out to the woods with axes and taught them how to chop wood. But you can also simulate chopping on your bed. You’d take a towel or a blanket and you beat the shit out of your bed or your cabinet. Donnie B.: Oh, shit. If somebody wants some work, come out to the farm. I got plenty of trees that need to be taken down. We’ll chop some logs up. I'll put their asses to work and we'll work on your anger. Rachel K.: Yeah. Then they also have to work on probably hitting the wood in the certain place. Donnie B.: Oh, yeah. And then stack it and then clean everything up and put all the tools away. Rachel K.: Yeah. All physical activity is actually really good for anger work. So there are certain things you do when you need to have an anger tantrum and there are ways to do it when you're in a car. There are ways to do it on a walk. There's ways to do it at the gym and then there are certain things, a different kind of energy. So anger, what do we want to do when we are angry? We want to destroy. We want to explode. It's like an external energetic, right? Not to get too woo-woo. But what happens when we cry, right? Or when we're sad? It's like, we want to collapse. Water literally drips out of our face. It's a downward energy. It's a slowing down. It’s a swampy pulling energy. And so to move that, you have to do a different set of activities. You can't do great sadness work after you've had caffeine because you're like, “I feel great.” That's why we all love caffeine but caffeine is fine for anger work, but for sadness work, it's about slowing down. It's about, how do you swaddle yourself? Whether it's in your bed or in a bathtub with warm water and sad music. Like, how do you create that kind of containment where you actually can start to open up to how sad you are? And the same thing, fear and shame are the deeper layers. Fear is tricky because it's both explosive and implosive and so you have to either kind of have a frenetic fear party where you just twitch and shake. That's what animals do, literally. They shake when they're in … once they reach safety after trauma, they will just shake it until they feel better or with fear, sometimes, we feel paralyzed, right? We can't move or so we feel helpless and then that would be more of a crying release. So it's like, what I'm actually teaching you is, how do you actually tune into the way these sensations need to move? It's not in the head. It's not in our fancy thoughts. It's like being in the body where we can feel the thing that rises and needs to move just like your poop and then it's over. Donnie B.: So here's an interesting thing, is and I love this analogy. This whole thing is actually pretty cool. But through high school, I was an asshole. I was a guy invited to the parties because of the stupid shit that I was doing and a lot of times, it ended up in freaking some stupid high school fight of some sort. So I went to see a counselor on my parents’ recommendation. This dumbass counselor looked at me and said, “Here's what I want you to do. Every time your anger fills up, I want you to grab an ice cube and slam it against the wall so it shatters into a million pieces.” He’s like, “The other thing I want you to do is, if you don't have any more ice cubes, I want you to punch your pillow.” This is the two things he tells me. Let me tell you, I chunked a hundred ice cubes, I punched the shit out of my pillow, it didn't slow anything down. Rachel K.: Yeah. Well, I want to do therapy with you. But what do you think was going wrong for you? Why were you so angry? Donnie B.: It was upbringing and everything else. But it's, I just, I struggle with people putting and I'm not saying you put a blanket over everything but the same methodology doesn't work for everybody. Rachel K.: Yeah. Well, there was also, yeah. That's not the whole picture and one of the … so one of the episodes where I get most into strategy, the next episode is like troubleshooting. I'm like, “Yeah, that sounded easy. It's not and here are all the problems you’re going to have.” And one of the things I speak to is, it's not a fix-all. Now, the truth is, it's not a fix-all but anyone who can't have their feelings is going to definitely be not well. Just like if you weren't shitting, you wouldn't be healthy. It's not possible to be healthy if you're repressing all your feelings. But it doesn't mean that having your feelings is always enough. I mean, I think that what I'm outlining for people is always going to be tailorable and unique to that person which is why ideally, that's why this is like a fun adventure of, how do I make this very personalized work something that I can share with a massive group of people? I mean, we're coming up on 20,000 downloads at five weeks in and how do I make it useful for them? And also, how do I make myself available? And how do I help people kind of work with this? So that's been a fun creative project for me. But like part of it is, the feelings. The skill that I'm teaching is the feelings but the other piece and what I would have wanted to do with you if I was with you back then is really explore what was going on. I mean, you were obviously, when we're children, we’re subject to our environment. It's the one place where victim mentality or helplessness. We don't have full agency and control over our lives. We can't set up all of what we need. And so, did you have the support you needed to be dealing with whatever you were dealing with? What were those messages? Donnie B.: The interesting thing about that time is, I went and seen a different counselor dude. Whatever the hell he was, psychologist. I don't know what he was. And we sat down and had an hour-long conversation. At the end of that conversation, he said, “I want to talk to your parents.” I said, “Cool. Cool.” I left the room, went out and sat on the bench. Mom and dad walked out and said, “All right, cool. Let's go.” I asked them years later what that counselor said to them because that session fixed a lot of my shit. Rachel K.: Hell, yeah. Donnie B.: The reason it fixed it was he simply told Mom and Dad, “Let him go. Let him fucking explode. He's going to hit rock bottom so fucking hard that he's going to start climbing.” He was right. It’s exactly what freaking happened. So it was an interesting moment because I had an understanding that what I was doing wasn't the right actions. But I had no reason to stop. Rachel K.: Yeah. Donnie B.: It was interesting. Rachel K.: Yeah, no, rock bottom really, it's something to push up against. Donnie B.: Yes. Oh, J.K. Rowling has the best quote of all times on it. “Rock bottom is a foundation I built my life.” And I freaking love it. Rachel K.: There's a similar thing here in the sense of, if we're trying to stay above our feelings, our pain, our worthlessness, our shame, I mean, shame actually burns like hell. I mean, it's like, to really feel how worthless and wretched we can feel, it's actually excruciatingly uncomfortable. So when we sink down, when we get the skills to do that where we actually can experience these parts of us, there's no stress, there's a sense of peace and this is who I am. And then things really start to open up and flow. I have clients every week come in being like, “I was able to cry for half an hour.” And they're so proud of themselves or like, they had some tantrum and it shifts things where the thing that you were trying to not do becomes the thing that you can feel strong and own your strength for. And I really think if we don't earn something, we can't own it. And so when there is that challenge of hitting rock bottom or learning how to overcome your resistance to your feelings and feel it and learning how to do all these hard things, that's where we actually feel good about ourselves and proud and that's what can't be taken from us. That's not the validation. That's like worth. Donnie B.: Right. I just had this pop in my head. Because of my military background, I have a shit ton of veterans that listen to this show and the biggest struggle that veterans have is what they get once they get out of the military. It's not usually what they've gone through that destroys them. It's the lack of the buddy system. It's the lack of the camaraderie. It's the lack of those people around that takes them down to the wrong and dark paths. So two seconds, if you can think about it off the top of your head, how does somebody work through that when you spent years with the same 30 guys day in, day out, shit, showered, shaved together, the whole nine yards and now, you're out on your own trying to figure out, what the fuck am I supposed to be doing with my life? Rachel K.: Right. Well, it's a really good question and one of the things that I think it speaks to is another piece of the healing puzzle which is, we need to be connected to something bigger than ourselves. And I mean, I don't know. It's kind of surprising to me in this day of modern technology where we've got Facebook groups for fucking everything. I'm surprised that there aren't more ways that … Donnie B.: There's groups for veterans. The problem is the bravado, right? So if a guy goes in there and yeah, there's situations where if somebody's really south, the whole groups usually will come together and take care of him, right? But most times, man, if somebody shares what they're going through, it's not necessarily looked upon because you're supposed to be a badass at that point, right? Rachel K.: That’s the thing. That’s why I feel so strongly about reducing the shame around pain. And that will help the veterans as well. I mean, one thing, this is not exactly what you asked about with community but one of the therapeutic tools I practice which is like the gold star standard which every veteran should know about and look into getting which should be covered through the vet insurance is EMDR. It's , very effective, very quick tool to really process very acute trauma and then if you can't connect or if you can’t EMDR … Donnie B.: I had a gal on the show that had a very traumatic childbirth and she has like the 50th smallest baby ever born in the world that survived and EMDR is what helped her get through it. I was trying to recall her name but … Rachel K.: Yeah, it's cool. I mean, I actually think it should be malpractice to not know EMDR as a therapist. Also, just to offend everybody, I think that our therapeutic industry is B minus at best right now and part of my show is really being like, “Come on people, be willing to make people uncomfortable. Don't just try to keep them comfortable for their money.” Donnie B.: But that's most of the practice is. To jump in your bandwagon, is it's a business for them. They're not trying to help people. If they can keep them longer, less people they got to go find to use their fucking service. Rachel K.: I started firing my clients. I'm like, “This isn't working. You don't want to do it? You want to be a victim? No. I don't need your money.” Donnie B.: I tell everybody from a coaching perspective, “Hey look, if you're going to work with a coach, if they don't tell you that you're going to grow beyond their ability to coach you, then go find a different coach because that coach that want to keep you forever is a fucking idiot. But doesn't know actually how to help somebody move forward in their life.” Rachel K.: Yeah. So for those vets who are feeling alienated and alone and alone with their pain, I mean, to whatever extent they can start to get that, every single human, whether or not you've been in war or not or been in some of the extremes that they've been in or not has pain. And so there's nothing wrong with your pain and if they can start to turn toward it with a little more gentleness and curiosity and care, that's a really important word, care toward the part of them that's hurting. It's like, sometimes, when we're hurting, we want to attack ourselves. Like, what's wrong with me? That means you're literally attacking yourself for being in pain which is like, you've been shot by an arrow and you shoot another arrow just because the first arrow is there. We're already in pain. So that's part of what you can do. And then if the veteran community doesn't feel safe for those people as a means of sharing or connecting, it's really important to find what does and it doesn't always have to be humans. In fact, humans are often kind of out of balance. Sometimes, the natural world is often in balance. If you have literally no one to talk to, go find the closest most comfortable spot to create a relationship with a tree. Go every day and talk to a tree about your pain. Find out what kinds of activities, what kinds of things do you enjoy doing. Whether it's like a craft or a hobby or building or knitting. I don't know how many veterans are knitting. But what the fuck? It's 2019. Like some kind of … Donnie B.: A lot of veterans can saw. I don't know about knit. But we can saw. Rachel K.: Knitting for me is so soothing but anyway, it's like, how do we connect to something bigger than ourselves? But the first step of any of that, because to allow ourselves to be part of anything, we have to start working on being kinder toward ourselves, reducing the shame that we are how we are and just, even though we might not know for sure, just imagining, maybe other people have these feelings. That's why it's so healing when we share our stories and we start talking about the worthlessness we feel. And one of the cool things that's been happening in my practice is, I have six of my own clients that I've interviewed. They chose to. I didn't twist their arm. But I interviewed them for the Shit Show. And so throughout the twelve episodes of the first season, their voices and their experience are woven into what I'm sharing. So other clients of mine are able to hear. First of all, they're able to get what I'm saying in the form of like kind of course versus like intermixed with their own personal content. And so they're kind of lighting up around, “It makes so much sense.” And they're also hearing other people who are using very similar language because they're all in my healing world with me talk about things that they feel so deeply and there's something just so healing to be like, “Oh really? Everyone struggles with, are they enough? It's not just me?” And it's just so healing to know, “No, dude. This is the human condition and we live in a sick world.” There isn't a lot of balance and health in our world. You don't have to be inherently healthy and well to be in leadership, you know what I mean? But we’re going to have money. And it wasn't always like that. You and I both talked about cavemen in a different, older way. It's like, back in the day, if you’re hunting or you're living in direct connection with the Earth where there's not Uber Deliver and there's not like a grocery store where you buy something that you have fucking no idea where it came from, you had to be inherently well and balanced and strong in order to contribute to survive. And we don't have to do that now. We turn on light switches and we don't even think about where it comes from or water and buy we consume. We just want things instantly and I'm guilty of this too. I'm not preaching like I'm not doing this. Who doesn't love Amazon Prime? It's like, there's no inherent well-being in our society. And so of course, we're all sick with this and so the more we can just get real and be like, “Okay, how do I create this for myself? How do I do the best I can with what I've been given? How do I move all this shit through me with a flush? That's what's up.” Donnie B.: Champions, I hope you guys are enjoying this and do me a favor guys, go listen to her shit and swamp her show for me because I think she's got a badass message. I think she's got a really cool way of doing it. You've brought something to the surface that ranks of one of the most, sex you don't talk about, money you don't talk about and shit is something you don't talk about. It's the third one that I haven't heard thrown around and I'm so excited that you're taking this on. So keep spreading your message and keep embracing the hell out of this. Rachel K.: Thank you. Donnie B.: So let's do this. How do people get in touch with you or find your show, all that fun shit? Rachel K.: There's two ways and the easiest way, the way that’s going to streamline you into something where I'm going to give you a free little module of work and it also will just expose you right into the skill aspect of what I'm teaching, is go to www.yourcorewound.com. So yourcorewound.com all smashed together as they do and there is a quiz there and it'll take you less than five minutes and you're just going to rank numerically a bunch of statements and then I am going to see your quiz. I'm going to look at it and I'm going to enter it into a system where depending on what anger or what, excuse me, emotion you need to … Donnie B.: She’s expecting me to take it, guys. So that's why. Rachel K.: Depending on what emotion is dominant in your quiz, I'm going to send you a little kit that will give you the episode that correlates to that emotion and some of those aren't even live yet. I have no idea, Donnie when you're going to put this up. But it's actually like, you're getting ahead of what’s available currently on iTunes. So you'll get that episode. You'll get a list of strategies to try and a video of me kind of in my apartment trying to bring all of that to life. So you'll get that for free and it'll just have you dive in and check it out for yourself. And then also, I make it really affordable. If you want all of the emotions. The truth is, to really be well, we do need to be able to move through all the feelings. So there's a way where you can get that also. And then the way to just hear the Shit Show is to go to, if it's on iTunes, wherever it is, it's www.healingfeelingshitshow.com. Now, the ‘i’ in shit has turned into an asterisk because in the end, you know, I had to. iTunes won, basically. Facebook, you can’t sponsor any ads on here. And I was like, “Fuck you. Then I won't sponsor ads. I'm not changing my shit.” Even with the asterisk, they don't care. But iTunes, if iTunes says no, I don't have a problem. Donnie B.: They’re the 500-pound gorilla in the room. They shut my show down for six days because I had badass in a couple of the titles. So they’re … I’ll leave it to that. They suck when it comes to that kind of stuff. Get to the freaking times that we're in now. Hide my show behind another firewall that the kids can't see. I'm fine with that because the people who need to hear it will come find it. Rachel K.: So just anywhere you find podcasts, it's there. And I do recommend you go in order. That's why it's cool that I'm giving you the streamlined approach to the skills because people are busy and they might not have time and I want you to be able to start. Donnie B.: How long are your episodes? Rachel K.: They're pretty long. A lot of them are right around 90 or an hour. A few of them are around 90 minutes. Actually, all of the specific emotion episodes have 30 minutes of me doing unscripted therapy with someone that I just met and also, if people want to get involved, I'd love you, in addition to sending me your gross hilarious poop story, if you want to be a guest on my show or if you want to do therapy with me that we put online … Donnie B.: I’ll tuck it in. I'll do that. I'll do that. Rachel K.: I know. I have that thought. That would be fun to do with you. Donnie B.: Yeah. All day long. Rachel K.: You can do that. And also, you can send in questions. Donnie B.: Awesome. Awesome. Rachel K.: Healing Feeling Shit Show and YourCoreWound.com. Donnie B.: Beautiful. Beautiful. So guys, make sure you crash the system on that. I mean, she's doing some really cool things and taking on just in a really, really cool approach. Well Miss Rachel, we're stacked up against it. But here is how I finish every freaking show and I stump some people on. So stand by. Rachel K.: Oh, good. Donnie B.: If you’re going to leave the champions who listen to this show, people from, I think at this point, we’re at 79 countries all over the world. I don't know what else countries would be but 79 countries. Rachel K.: Or planets. Donnie B.: Yeah, right? Probably at this point. But, that are all going through their journey, on their mission, on their path, wherever they're going. If you were going to leave them with a quote, a saying, a phrase, a mantra, something they can take with them on their journey especially if they're stacked up against it and stopped up, you're welcome for that. What would be that quote or phrase you would say, “Remember this,”? Rachel K.: Yeah. There's so many that are coming to mind. But, “What is in the way is the way.” So what you think is holding you back, what you think makes you not enough, you need to embrace that, turn toward that, learn how to love that and it will open up the way for you into success, into self-love, into self-worth, which I think is the fucking bee's knees. Yeah. And if you don’t feel your shit, you’re full of shit. Just as a side note. I know you didn't say I could have two but if you don't feel your shit, you’re full of it. So don't do it like that. You can do better. Donnie B.: That's so awesome. Rachel, thank you so much for doing this, girl. I appreciate the hell out of it. Rachel K.: Really fun. Donnie B.: Awesome. Awesome. [Music] Donnie B.: Holy cow, guys. That was some raw shit. I got to tell you, I love … I mean, I've even gone back and listened to that episode and love her energy and vibe. Rachel really brings it every time I talk to her and I really enjoy that. Hey, you know, if you haven't come and join the Success Champions group on Facebook, you really need to dive in there. We’ve instituted this really, really cool thing that is just a blast and we're having a lot of fun with it. So we're calling it The Champions Happy Hour and every Friday at 4:00 PM Central, I'm bringing in some of my past guests and friends of the show and just some other badasses and we're talking business, life, how to get out of your own damn way and it's all done through Facebook Live. So there's no editing. There's no shortcuts or anything else. So come hang out with us in Success Champions. Go to Facebook, go type in the word, Success Champions, click on groups and you will find the page and then get ready for all kinds of fun content. And on Friday Live, bring your favorite cocktail and hang out with us as we just talked with some of the biggest badasses in the world about, how do you go for it? How do you get out of your own way? And how do you really go big and loud? And then if you'll do me a favor guys, if you'll share this episode with one person, that would mean the world to me. Leave a review. Leave a comment and I love hearing from you guys. If I can ever be of help, shoot me an email at Donnie@DonnieBoivin.com. Hope to see you in Success Champions on Facebook. Keep kicking ass, guys. https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuccessChampion/ Go get that shit out, would you?

This week we are joined by comedian and actor Ron G. We talk his early start on stage in Atlanta, the grind of the college circuit shows and his new show on Nickelodeon "Cousins For Life". Too many comedy game jewels shared in this one.

Many moons ago, I wanted to become a fashion designer. Unfortunately for me and my mom's account balance, we couldn't afford the tuition cost of $100k for the San Francisco Art Institute. So instead, I went to community college and on a whim, picked Business Administration. Then I changed it to Communication Studies and never looked back. But did this decision help me out in the end? Now that I'm five years removed from graduating college, I have a better appreciation for the decision I made in my earlier years because it's definitely paid off -- kinda. Here's a quick story about my college life, the classes I took, and the skills I developed and continue to use today. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/WokeFu/support

Through our partnership with the Coalition of Black Excellence founded by Angela J., we have the pleasure of sitting down with strategist, leader, entrepreneur, educator, and mentor Adamaka Ajaelo to discuss her program, Self-eSTEM, and its vision to provide young women of color strong support models while supporting their pursuit to achieve a successful career in the STEM field.Learn more about Self-eSTEM here: https://selfestem.org/Contact or Donate to Self-eSTEM!CBE Week runs February 18-24, 2019! Learn more about it, and the Coalition of Black Excellence, here!https://www.cbeweek.com/Connect with us here: https://linktr.ee/livingcorporateTRANSCRIPTZach: What's up, y'all? It's Zach, and listen, y'all. Living Corporate is partnering with the Coalition of Black Excellence, or CBE, a non-profit organization based in California, in bringing in a Special Speaker series to promote their CBE Week, an annual week-long event designed to highlight excellence in the black community, connect black professionals across sectors, and provide opportunities for the professional development and community engagement that will positively transform the black community. This is a special series where we spotlight movers and shakers who will be speakers during CBE Week. Today, we are blessed to have Adamaka Ajaelo. Adamaka is a strategist, leader, entrepreneur, educator, and mentor. Her 11+-year career spans over some of the world's largest companies, and she's leveraged her passion for the betterment of under-represented people to launch programming that helps build STEM capabilities for black girls. But don't let me give away too much of the sauce. Adamaka, welcome to the show. How are you doing, ma'am?Adamaka: I am doing well. Thank you for having me here. Just really trying to stay indoors, just with the poor air quality that we're having in the Bay Area, but besides that I am doing well.Zach: Absolutely, and yes, that's a poignant point. I know that the wildfires have been crazy. My sister-in-law, she lives in San Francisco, and she's telling me they can--she can smell the smoke. Like, she can smell it.Adamaka: Yes. I'm able to smell the smoke too in the air as well, and I live in Oakland.Zach: My goodness gracious. Well, so glad that you're safe, and of course our prayers go to the folks out there, and I know that news is developing on the condition. Wow. So for those of us who don't know you, would you mind telling us a little bit about yourself?Adamaka: Sure. I am an Oakland native via Nigerian parents. Both of my parents are immigrants from Nigeria, but I was born and raised in Oakland, California. Went to school down in Los Angeles, went to Occidental College, and I've always had a passion for the STEM fields. Majored in math, and then upon graduation I came back to start working for Kaiser Permanente, and I did my MBA program here in Oakland at Holy Names University. I really have a passion for getting young girls excited about STEM education and career opportunities, and I am a diehard Warriors fan. Really love basketball. I played basketball also in college. But yeah, I'm just someone that also just works in--uses my spare time to really give back to the community I grew up in.Zach: That's awesome, and that actually really kind of leads me into my next question about your non-profit. Can you talk to us a little bit about the program, its origin? I want you to tell the audience the name of the program and the vision of it too.Adamaka: Okay. So the name of our program is Self-eSTEM, and we were founded in 2014, and sort of the vision behind Self-eSTEM came from my I would say--I hate to say it, but painful experience as I transitioned from high school to college and found out kind of, like, the hard way that there weren't that many people that looked like me in the STEM field, and there were a lot of obstacles. There actually were a lot of people who were actually resistant to seeing someone like me walk into their physics classroom or their math classroom or their chemistry classroom in college. So my father was a chemical engineer by trade. He graduated from UC Berkeley, and he really instilled the resiliency in me to pursue my STEM education and career pathways. However, I imagine if I didn't have that solid foundation, you know, would I have continued down the STEM pipeline? So my vision is, like--there's probably other girls, young girls out there, who don't have that strong support model. So the vision is just really to provide the girls support at--young women, primarily young women of color, that support to pursue their STEM education and STEM career path throughout the critical stages of the STEM pipeline. And the name for Self-eSTEM, it's really sort of, like, a play on the word "self-esteem," and what we try to do is really build the girls' self-efficacy and build their self-esteem by promoting STEM education career opportunities for them.Zach: That's awesome, and, you know, it's interesting because I--I think I can't overstate the fact that the future of AI and machine learning is leaving even more black and brown folks behind than we already are, right? So, like, by the year 2025, the workforce is gonna look way different than it is, and we've had some earlier podcasts on Living Corporate talking about the workforce of the future and how, you know, things are really gearing to rev up even more, and that folks who are, again, already disenfranchised, already, for factors beyond their control, lacking access to the tools and information and resources so that they can really be set up for success, that they're gonna be even more at a disadvantage. And so while everyone doesn't need to be a coder, there needs to be some type of radical uptick, I believe, in our technical literacy, and so how do you help prospective members of Self-eSTEM get over the perception this is just so beyond anything that they can do?Adamaka: So what we do--it's really in our program service delivery model. So what makes us unique is--what we try to do is to have this approach of demystifying STEM, and what we do is we try to make sure that when we're providing our programs or we're delivering any type of workshops that we make it culturally relevant, gender-specific, and really connect STEM concepts to things that they're very interested in. So for example, we had one workshop called My Lip Gloss Is Poppin', and in the workshop the outcome was for the girls to create their own lip gloss. You know they got really excited by that, but through the process they started to understand the chemical compounds behind lip gloss. And then we started to also have guest speakers of people that worked in the makeup industry and talk about the chemistry behind it, to actually say, like, you know, "This is looking at makeup from a scientific perspective," and the girls were just like, "Wow, that's amazing." And then also another approach that we try to do is just really give the young girls role models, for our volunteers and our partnerships we try to do our best to make sure that the representation is there, that when they're going to these events that they also are looking at engineer--an engineer that's speaking to them or that's working with them looks like themselves, because I know that that's very key in sparking the interest in the young girls. And then the last thing that we try to do I would say is sort of, like, a re-engineering. What do they want their life to be? And trying to get them to really be in the space of dreaming, and then highlight, you know, some information about stats, about the STEM careers and how they can help you set up and allow you to afford the lifestyle that you desire, because a lot of the girls, although we're tapped into the under-served community, they still have those big dreams, and we encourage them to dream, and then we try to highlight and connect and say, "Based off your dreams, you know, these following career paths will allow you the opportunity to afford the lifestyle that you're looking to create."Zach: That's incredible, and it's so interesting when you--the example that you gave around lip gloss and make up, and I think it really underpins the reality that STEM is in everything that we do and everything that we touch, and it's easy--it's easy to get distracted or to get a bit discouraged, because I know for me growing up--so my father was a mathematics major, but, you know, for me, math was just always difficult. It was just--it was intimidating to me, and a lot of times I just psyched myself out. Like, "I can't really do this. I can't really do this," and, you know, while I'm certainly better at math now, I do wish that I would've dug my heels in a bit deeper when it came to really engaging STEM, because it's just in so much of what we do. So that's incredible, and it actually leads me into my next question, which is around the exploration camp within Self-eSTEM. Can you share more about that aspect of the program and all that it entails and maybe some successes and stories around that?Adamaka: Yes. So that's--the STEM exploration camp is our signature or actually a pillar of what we call our Early STEM Immersion programs, and with that the STEM exploration camp is a one-week summer camp that provides STEM curriculum and career exposure through a culturally-responsible lens. So that example of the lip gloss workshop, that was one of the workshops that we had in the prior years of our STEM exploration camp, but we also know that just having the girls only for the summertime is not enough, so there's two other components of our Early STEM Immersion program. So we also have a STEM networking club, and what that is is a weekend program that really curates hands-on field trips and interactive conversations with STEM professionals. So with that, our model is to really try to take this approach of linked learning, and that's to get out of the classroom, and the things that they're learning in the classroom, actually link it to actually a career path or a career field so they can see how the information that they're learning at school can help them in the future with whatever career path they decide to select. And then the third part of our program, our Early STEM Immersion program, is our robotics club, which I'm super excited about this, and our robotics club is a weekly after-school FIRST robotics program, encouraging coding and engineering principles, attacking real-world problems, and then what we try to do is set the--select a group of cohorts, of people in a robotics club, to have some type of challenges or missions, and they get the opportunity to compete--friendly competition--to compete against each other to see who can accomplish the task or the mission through programming their robot, and in 2007--and I know it's 2007--this statement is also something that our organization is proud of, but also too it highlights that we need more work. We were the first all-girls team, all-girls underrepresented minority team, to compete in a FIRST Lego League NorCal competition, but while we're really excited about that, it still highlights the fact in 2017 that we still have more work to do. And this year, in 2008, we launched our first tech challenge team, which is a more advanced robotics team where the young girls actually configure and assemble their own robot, and they have to code and program it for the robot to achieve their own--certain missions and tasks through our program. So we're really excited about that and really excited at the work and the effort that our robotics club teams are putting forward.Zach: That's incredible, wow. Now, I recognize that this program is primarily focused on young women of color, black girls, brown girls. What could someone who's interested in supporting Self-eSTEM--for folks who are in Corporate America, what are opportunities for them to kind of give back or really support the program?Adamaka: That's a great question. Well, on our website, www.selfestem.org--and that's S-E-L-F-S-T-E-M.org, on our Contacts tab--people can go on our Contacts tab and sign up to join our emailing list, and what we do is we send out information about upcoming workshop opportunities where people can volunteer and get engaged. In addition to that, people can also go on our Events tab and also see the upcoming events and programs that we have currently running, in operation. And also, two, if anybody has any questions of wanting to donate--we always need resources, volunteer resources. [inaudible] in addition to financial resources they wanted to make a donation or a partnership opportunity with the company that they work for, they can either email us at info@selfestem.org or go visit our Contact tab on our website to see other forms to get in contact with us.Zach: So thank you for sharing all of the information about how to contact and reach and donate, but is there anything else? Any other ways that folks can support Self-eSTEM? Adamaka: Yes. We have our annual fundraiser--it's Martini Splash Fundraiser--happening Saturday May 4th, 2019, at 7:30 p.m. at the California ballroom in Oakland, California. So people can definitely subscribe to our newsletter and even follow our social media pages, @SelfeSTEM on Instagram and on Facebook, to get the latest information on when tickets are going to be released and for sale. But definitely coming out and supporting us at our annual fundraiser, and we definitely keep it lit and very fun, and people have a great time. But the fundraiser is another option to support our organization.Zach: That's awesome. Well, we'll make sure--like I said before, we'll make sure to have all of this information in the show notes, but this is great. Okay. That's incredible. I can just tell--I'm so excited just to hear about all of the things that Self-eSTEM is doing, and it's just--it's just really incredible, Like, robots? This is the thing for me, right? And I'm sorry. I know you already--you've already come and gone by this example, but robots? Like, as a little boy, I just remember me making--like, just thinking about me making a robot was just so complex to me, like, and just the practical ways that you're reaching and inspiring and teaching these girls is incredible. And, to your point, plenty more work to do, and so I hope that our audience is hearing this, they're hearing your information, and that they actually pay attention and engage. We'll make sure that we'll have Self-eSTEM's, you know, relevant information and how to get in contact with you all, how to donate, how to support, in the show notes as well. Before we go though, do you have any parting words?Adamaka: I just--I do have some parting words. Just for the listeners, one of the things that I wanted to highlight is to really push forward the message that STEM literacy for youth in the United States has become a matter of national security. The STEM education and career fields are the gateway to America's continued economic competitiveness and national security, so we have to make significant investments in our youth's interests and engagements towards STEM fields, as well as their interests and willingness to select STEM education majors, STEM majors, as well as STEM career pathways. It is projected that by 2022--between the time of 2012 to 2022, it was projected that companies would need approximately 1.6 million employees who possess some basic STEM literacy. So just to really highlight the importance of it, that it's not necessarily just for the kids' ability and their skill set, that it's something that's needed--this is something that is needed on the national level, and it has been an imperative for our national security as well as our economic competitiveness in the global economy. Zach: Amen. Come on, now. You got me excited. Well, awesome. Well, that does it for us, y'all.

His first day of work was THE 9/11 and he was would commute through The World Trade Center to get to Wallstreet from the subway. He was listening to his walkman and was on the escalator and people were running, passing him. He was at the end and saw a bunch of police officers at the top screaming to get the heck out of there. Dave ran outside and saw papers everywhere. Dave actually saw the plan embedded inside the building… “It was courageous and selfless. I’ve never seen people be so organized.” – Dave Lindenbaum He stuck with it for 2 years during the training program, but then everything changed.

Pulitzer-nominated Wil Haygood has made a career out of telling some of the most interesting, if overlooked, stories in American Life. Most notably, he penned the story "A Butler Well Served by this Election" for The Washington Post which became the basis for the award-winning 2013 film "The Butler" and for Haygood’s New York Times’ best-selling book of the same name. His seventh book, TIGERLAND: 1968-1969, A City Divided, a Nation Torn Apart, and a Magical Season of Healing, was just given to all Miami University freshman upon arrival into Oxford this August and thanks to Penguin Random House, weeks in advance of the actual book release. He addressed the incoming students at Miami’s convocation on August 24 and discussed the importance of race relations. The pod examines his writing success but also digs back into his childhood. Wil was the first person from his family to attend college, and he talks joyfully about knowing the moment he came onto campus that it was the only place he wanted to be. I was also fascinated with his description of his book writing process. You can pre-order the book (release date September 18, 2018) via Amazon Podcast Notes: “When there’s unity, good things happen” Where Haygood’s love of writing began. A teacher told him he had a writing gift, when no one had said that before. Decided to go to Miami with full intention of taking English literature courses. Majored in urban planning with minor in English literature. Why Haygood chose Miami. No one in his family had gone to college and he knew it was going to be a tough challenge. Went to his high school counselor's office and took a stack of pamphlets about colleges. Immediately was attracted to Miami because of the the red brick and loveliness of the school grounds. Told his counselor that he wanted to go to Miami and she told him that she didn’t think he could get into Miami. He got offended by that which made him try harder to get into Miami. Local high school teacher took him to visit the campus, six weeks before classes started. Knew once he had seen the campus that he was happy he committed to Miami. Growing up in Columbus was different than it is today. Grew up on the north side of the city. On the north side, the grade school and high school were all racially mixed. His mother and him moved to the east of Columbus and the schools were segregated there. It was difficult, but Haygood graduated. He knew what was at stake and he knew he had to succeed for himself, his family, and to inspire others. School was hard and he struggled, but he loved taking different courses. He had some caring professors who he could tell wanted him to succeed and that made him work harder. From there, he started to understand what a writing voice was and grew into his writing. What gives him the inspiration to write each book When he walks into bookstores and he wants to see a book about a certain subject matter, if he don’t see the book he says to himself that he’s going to write it. Haygood’s writing process for Tigerland. Started traveling to Columbus to find and talk to the athletes. A lot of the athletes got emotional about sharing their story because they thought their stories had been forgotten about. Interviewed around 125-150 people to understand more about the story. Key takeaways from Tigerland. Sports and sports figures have always brought the country together. With race being a long overdue discussion right now, it’s important to look at where there are triumphs. It’s a story that inspires people and exemplifies the best of the human spirit. What’s next for Haygood. Not totally there yet with the idea, but it’s going to have a focus about the world of movies How “The Butler” came to life onscreen. Wrote the story and it appeared on Washington Post. That same night, he had eight phones calls from major Hollywood producers telling him they wanted to buy the rights to his book. Once he sent the screenplay out, the story interested great actors to be casted in movie. Wil Haygood’s book, Tigerland, comes out September 18th, you can pre-order Tigerland on Amazon.
