We will be talking about pharmacogenomics as the tool that will help us usher in the future where safety comes first. Today's guest, Mark A. Smith began his career as a Special Agent with the FBI working on organized and white-collar crime. Followed by a Human Resources path from Pfizer, to PepsiCo, and ending as CHRO with Blockbuster Entertainment. Following an acquisition Mark returned to Western New York where he became actively involved in Children's Behavioral Health at both the state and national level.  Mark's passion is focused on the clinical and economic value of Pharmacogenomics (PGx), and has placed him in the center of the national drive to “Standard of Care” for PGx.

In this episode of the Off-Road Racer Podcast, I sit down with Pearse Umlauf, CEO and President of Jeep Jamboree USA, a company that hosts 50+ off-road events a year, both domestically and internationally and has been instrumental in keeping the legendary Rubicon trail open for all to enjoy. Pearse and I discuss the company's history and its founder, Mark A. Smith, who was inducted into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1979. Coming into the present, we talk about some of the company's current projects and the freedom the company maintains as a family-owned business. Pearse and I also talk a lot about the current state of the Jeeping community, focusing a lot on the constant battle to keep public land open to off-road vehicles, and how the release of the 4-door Wrangler has changed the Jeeping scene. Wrapping up, we talk about the effect off-roading has on your psyche and the importance of overcoming challenges. I'm your host Matt Martelli, and this IS the Off-Road Racer Podcast.

Because of a tragedy, a picturesque town with a Greek name (unusual for Indiana) has been in the national news for more than six years. That has often obscured the colorful heritage that Delphi in northern Indiana has reclaimed in captivating ways, including cruises on a portion of the former Wabash & Erie Canal, restored historic structures and a park showcasing the waterway's heritage, that have made the city a popular destination for visitors. Hoosier History Live will spotlight Delphi (population. 2,975), the county seat of Carroll County, where, from May through September, visitors enjoy cruises on The Delphi, a replica of a 19th century canal boat. In this encore broadcast (original air date: Jan. 14, 2023), we also look at the history of some sites associated with the tragedy, the murders of two girls in February 2017, as well as the Canal Interpretive Center, which includes an interactive museum, and restored buildings such as the Delphi Opera House. Not only did James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet, perform at least six times at the opera house, he also visited the Delphi area to enjoy fishing and other leisure activities. Nelson's guest is Carroll County historian Mark A. Smith. He is a docent at the Reed Case House, a grand, Federal-style home built in the 1840s by the contractor of the region's section of the Wabash & Erie Canal, which was constructed to connect Toledo on Lake Erie with Evansville on the Ohio River. The Reed Case House eventually became an inn for travelers and canal workers.

Mark Smith tells it how it is. A VP of Sales multiple times over, he has dabbled in politics, consulting, advising and investing. So why leave everything behind and take a sabbatical? We sit down with Mark to discuss how his definition of success has evolved over the years, and the lessons he hopes to impart upon the next generation of sellers and leaders.   Big props to Hubspot for making us a part of the Hubspot Podcasting Network!

The history of Rubicon dates back long before the 49ers headed over the Sierra Nevada to California's Gold Rush towns—the indigenous Maidu Indians traversed this summer route to Lake Tahoe. The Rubicon Valley was settled in the 1880s and the Maidu's footpath became a wagon trail and eventually a public road. In 1953, Mark A. Smith and members of the Georgetown Rotary started the Jeepers Jamboree, beginning the Rubicon's 70-year legacy as the world's most iconic four-wheel drive destination.We've gathered the four of the most knowable and influential people in the industry to discuss what the future holds for the grandaddy of Jeep trails.Ken Hower, Rubicon Trail Foundationhttps://www.rubicontrailfoundation.org/Roger Salazar, California OHVMR Divisionhttps://ohv.parks.ca.gov/Pearse Umlauf, Jeep Jamboree USAhttps://jeepjamboreeusa.com/Bob Sweeney, Jeepers Jamboreehttps://jeepersjamboree.com/A video conference will be held on February 15 at 5 p.m. PST, attended by the below organizations and other involved agencies.

Mark A. Smith (CRO of Webware.io) is one of the wisest (and funniest) writers on LinkedIn. In today's episode we get into the virtue of patience in sales. Plus, what are you learning from your colleagues on the sales team? You need to be careful about who you choose as a sales role model. Then we talk about how to develop trust with buyers. Before digging into the nature of sales and stress. As Mark observed, "Giving your whole company a week off due to burnout is awesome. Not burning out your employees in the first place is awesomer." All of this and much more in this fun conversation.

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) affects as many as 20 million Americans and is the second most commonly diagnosed anxiety disorder.1,2 A person with SAD feels symptoms of extreme anxiety or fear in certain social situations, such as meeting new people, dating, being on a job interview, answering a question in class, or making small talk to a cashier in a store or a networking event at work. Doing everyday things in front of people - such as eating or drinking in front of others or using a public restroom - also causes anxiety or fear. The person is afraid that he or she will be humiliated, judged, and rejected. SAD can significantly compromise academic, social and work life and can predispose individuals to other anxiety disorders, depression and substance use disorders.3 SAD usually starts during youth. Without treatment, social anxiety disorder can last for many years or a lifetime and prevent a person from reaching his or her full potential. VistaGen Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mark A. Smith visits with Mark Alyn to discuss a new medication for SAD.

In this episode, Kim Ellington welcomes new Humanist Hour co-host Jenn Wilson to the podcast and they both speak with author Dr. Mark Smith about his new book, "Secular Faith: How Culture Has Trumped Religion in American Politics." Mark A. Smith provocatively argues that religion is not nearly the unchanging conservative influence in American politics that we have come to think it is. In fact, in the long run, religion is best understood as responding to changing political and cultural values rather than shaping them. Smith makes his case by charting five contentious issues in America's history: slavery, divorce, homosexuality, abortion, and women's rights. For each, he shows how the political views of even the most conservative Christians evolved in the same direction as the rest of society—perhaps not as swiftly, but always on the same arc. During periods of cultural transition, Christian leaders do resist prevailing values and behaviors, but those same leaders inevitably acquiesce—often by reinterpreting the Bible—if their positions become no longer tenable. Secular ideas and influences thereby shape the ways Christians read and interpret their scriptures.

Mark A. Smith is the author of Secular Faith: Culture Has Trumped Religion in American Politics (University of Chicago Press, 2015). Smith is professor of political science at the University of Washington.
