[4:00] We chose to go with the Air National Guard so that we can serve our community and go to school. [4:26] I found out that it really provided so much experience, education, camaraderie and community that I ended up falling in love with it and staying in. [4:45] In the last 19 years, I've had seven different positions and I just keep challenging and growing myself through those experiences. [5:01] What we do is we serve in the community that we live in where we do domestic operations and we have a federal mission as well. [6:10] Even though I work part time, technically, I wear that uniform inside my heart, mind and life and is very deep rooted in our core values. [8:08] As a servant leader, an airman, as a leader, I have to consistently hold on to the call to serve others before self. [8:37] I met my husband eight years ago and as a military spouse, I had to resign my fulltime active duty position, go part time and serve right with [9:47] The biggest thing when I think about my service and how it connects to me, being an entrepreneur is really just learning to trust myself, and reach outside my comfort zone. [11:25] My experience enables me to help my clients face difficult situations and really owning the trust of their experience and [12:18] Many a times we have to drown out those negative noises and really stay true to our passion, drive and our values. [14:08] Commercial Break. [14:55] Both of my businesses have a foundation of emotional intelligence and personal growth. [16:04] I think in order for us to show up in life, relationship and connect with other human beings, we have to be totally good with ourselves first. [16:15] My career has evolved so much over time, because the more I help mostly women, the more I learn how complicated human being we are. [16:52] What I found is that many times if people want to lose weight, it's much deeper than that and so I focus on everything about emotional intelligence and the human connection. [17:10] We just launched the cruise beyond limits and my husband is handling all the men's personal training. [17:52] I also found that the power of stretch, recovery, and Yoga has to be a really great part of our cross training and so I actually just brought on an affiliate cruise coach who is a yoga instructor. [18:16] My second business is inclusion culture where I have three other business partners doing consulting work on inclusion and diversity for four years now. [20:13] When COVID happened, we had to pivot really quickly to zoom and really learn how to facilitate group training over zoom. [20:43] We also have a foundation of emotional intelligence where we help leaders and companies discover within themselves so that they can make deeper connections and understand themselves. [21:07] With the new ways of working, people are getting comfortable at home and it's a whole other dynamic of what humans go through and grow through. [22:22] Our goal is really to drive that connection, not only with themselves, but with others, regardless of the situation. [22:45] Take each day as it comes and everyday as a blessing so live each day just your true potential and reach outside your comfort zone to see what's possible. [23:54] Sometimes we don't have to have all the answers or always be perfect, we just have to be willing to try. [24:16] …………………………………….

Todd C. Riniolo is an associate professor of psychology at Medaille College. He has written many peer-reviewed articles in the psychological literature. In this discussion with D.J. Grothe, Todd Riniolo discusses his book When Good Thinking Goes Bad: How Your Brain Can Have a Mind of Its Own, exploring ways that critical thinking should be applied to people's cherished and most certainly felt convictions.
