We're back for more stories about the impact the David Eccles School of Business has on the lives and careers of our alums, and today we are sharing another success story of connections made through the David Eccles Alumni Network with Jeff Lewis and Alexandra Floor.Continuing our focus on mentorship and networking, Frances talks to Jeff and Alexandra about how they connected through the Eccles School, and how that connection led to an internship opportunity that created benefits for both Jeff and Alexandra. Jeff, a wealth management advisor at Northwestern Mutual and Founder/CEO of Gelder Generational Wealth, served as a member of the David Eccles Alumni Network Board for 15 years, and Alexandra, set to graduate from the David Eccles School of Business this spring, serves as the director of Mentorship for Women in Finance and vice president of recruitment for Alpha Phi. Jeff has been involved with the school as an alum and a mentor, while Alexandra shares her experiences as a student benefiting from these connections. They discuss the value of internships, mentorship, and the ways in which the alumni network fosters professional growth for both current students and graduates. Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more at https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Episode Quotes:Alexandra reveals the real secret to building and growing your network[27:48] You're only as smart as the people you surround yourself by. And if you don't reach out to people who are smarter than you and intelligent and not in a negative way, but as students, there's so much opportunity out there. And for people with such high levels of experience, I mean, Jeff's been in the business for almost 30 years and for just taking that step to reach out and be around them and surround yourself, even if it's just lunch, even if you know it does turn into an internship, is the only way you're going to grow so significantly and build your network. Why experiential opportunities build student confidence[13:46] When you think about an internship, it's really that you're test driving a career, and you're doing it without high consequence. You're not going into it with this expectation of being there for years on end. You're going into it with the parameters that are dialed out, like in this case, a semester. In some cases, it's just summer. But I think that's where the opportunity lies with an intern opportunity: to really have the student engage in that experiential learning and do it in order to build their confidence and really stretch themselves because I think that's what's going to differentiate them, not only on a resume, but really in the marketplace to be able to say, “Look, I've done something; I've done something different here, and here's why I know I do or don't want to continue to do that.” And I think that's something that, from my standpoint, if we find out that it's not a good fit, we're going to hopefully help that intern find something else that's a better fit. And when I was mentoring some students years ago, when they started the mentoring program at the University of Utah formally, I remember being in the union, and there were so many students that wanted to have mentors, and I had a table of about 10 students. And I learned very quickly that some of them just really wanted to have that interaction, to have discussions, have conversations, and some of them just wanted to be walked down the road. Jeff reminds alumni that simply showing up makes a big impact on a student's life[25:58] It's always fun to have that connection with people that you just have been able to do some good with and to be able to raise money for scholarships or to be able to mentor incoming students or outgoing students or those that are right in the middle. So all of the above. And I would encourage anybody if they're having second thoughts about doing it, like, “Well, I don't know if I can really help.” There's always something you can do. Showing up is such a great thing. There are so many people that come up and just invest a little bit of time, and it really yields some great benefits for the students and all those that are participating.Show Links:Jeff Lewis | LinkedInJeffrey Gelder Lewis | Northwestern MutualAlexandra Floor | LinkedInDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I reconnect with conductor and educator Aaron Kula, who shaped my summers in the Chautauqua Youth Orchestra at the Chautauqua Institution in New York in 1994 and 1995. We talk about what it means to trust young musicians with major repertoire, including the time we took on Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, and what that experience taught me about preparation, accountability, and confidence. Aaron shares his philosophy for building ensemble culture: learning every student's name, holding individuals responsible while serving the collective, and making the rehearsal process both rigorous and engaging. We dig into how his multi-genre musical life, from classical training to folk and ethnic traditions, and his deep connection to Jewish music, shaped the way he hears rhythm, style, and culture inside the orchestra. Aaron also explains how conducting changes when moving from the concert stage to ballet, how tempo becomes a real-time collaboration with dancers, and why a conductor has to know when to lead, when to release, and when to stay out of the players' way. This conversation is equal parts music, mentorship, and reflection, and a reminder that the seeds teachers plant can continue to grow for decades. I'm grateful for the chance to say thank you, and for the lessons from those summers that still guide how I work with students and teams today.To learn more about Aaron, visit his website. Thank you for listening. If you have questions, feedback, or ideas for the show, please email me at brad@thebandwichtapes.com.

Jay and Ashley are back nearly 200 episodes after their first appearance, and they don't sugarcoat what the last few years have looked like: raising a big family, trying to run a business together, and realizing how fast “life stuff” can spill into “work stuff.”They get real about what's working right now in the market—Zillow Preferred leads, staying in front of past clients, and being consistent even when motivation is nowhere to be found.Then the conversation pivots into mentorship and networking: how asking for a simple coffee (or cigar) can change your entire trajectory, plus a “failing forward” segment that turns a painful multifamily experience into a legit lesson. They wrap with what it all comes back to: family support, unconditional love, and building something that lasts.Check out the show and more episodes at @REIARadioThis episode is sponsored by Entrepreneur Addict — get started at entrepreneuraddict.com/REIA.Where to find Jay & AshleyInstagram: Ashley Jackson WellsFacebook: jcapelYou can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at www.tedkaasch.com Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owen.dashner Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/odawg2424/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - https://magicdoor.com/reia/...

In this prophetic teaching on the armor of God, you'll learn how to engage in real spiritual warfare and stand firm when the evil day comes. Pastor Ron breaks down each piece of war equipment—the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, killer shoes of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, sword of the Spirit, and the spear of prayer—and shows you how to use them every day, not just during a conference weekend.

In this final episode of the mini series The Mentorship Sessions, we are delighted to be joined by Emily Harrington and Hazel Findlay. Both of these women have accolades and accomplishments that speak for themselves, but let go ahead and name a few to start off. Emily was the fourth woman ever to free climb El Cap in a day, and the first woman to do so via the Golden Gate route, she's summited Mount Everest, is a very accomplished comp climber, and has the first female ascent of a number of worldwide 5.14s. Meanwhile Hazel has been a pro climber for over a decade, she was the first woman to climb a trad route rated E9, she's put up multiple first ascents on big walls, she was the 3rd person to send Magic Line (5.14c) in Yosemite, and is the Founder of StrongMind which focuses on mental training and fear management. The two of them were once teammates on the North Face team and went on a number of adventures across the world including a trip to big wall in Morocco, which we get into. They both discuss how becoming a mother has changed their approach to fear and risk management, and how to trust (and when not to trust) a mentor, setting boundaries, and their own mental training.

A leader who built his career on high-stakes investigations shares how those experiences now shape the culture, standards, and direction of a top litigation firm. Matthew L. Schwartz, Chair of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, joins Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg to talk about what it takes to lead a litigation-first firm without losing the sharpness that defines its work. He reflects on a decade in the Southern District of New York, where cases tied to General Motors, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the fallout from Bernie Madoff shaped his views on judgment, clarity, and what clients actually want from their lawyers. Matthew explains why the firm gives young lawyers real responsibility early on and why senior lawyers thrive with the autonomy to build their practices without heavy bureaucracy. He also digs into the decisions that matter most right now: where to grow, how to align with client needs, and what pressures like AI, rising litigation costs, and outside capital mean for a disputes-only practice. The conversation circles back to a central question for any leader in high-stakes litigation: how do you build a firm where people think boldly, act with integrity, and stay committed to excellence when the pressure is highest? Matthew makes the case that culture, mentorship, and trust still carry the most weight. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Matthew L.

Judson enjoys a hookup that goes past the typical twenty minutes and returns to his favorite gay event at his local bathhouse. Brian spends an evening with the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and tries to entice Judson to check out the show. The Hookup of the Week is a twofer from a Daddy who enjoys public sex. The two are then joined by rising Broadway star Jimin Moon, and returning guest Will Wikle, known first for his iconic time spent as a houseguest on Big Brother 5 in 2004, and now as a psychiatric nurse practitioner with his own practice, Peace Park Psychiatry. Jimin talks about performing the leading role of Joe Gillis in the recent Broadway production of Sunset Blvd., the secrets of cruising from the stage, the shift his life has taken since his recent 25th birthday, and the New Year's resolution that revolutionized his sex life. Together, Jimin and Will talk about their chosen family, mentorship in the gay community, how Dads and Daddies helped bring them together, and how they've since developed a relationship that defies labels. Will also updates Brian and Judson on the successful growth of his psychiatry practice, on attending his first organized sex party, the Daddy Issue he spoke about during his first visit, and how Jimin has helped him conquer it. To close, Jimin and Will help Brian and Judson respond to not one, but two Go Ask Your Dad questions: one from a listener in an open marriage who finds the amount of sex his husband needs outside the marriage disconcerting, and a second from a listener debating whether or not he should accept the invitation from a couple 15 years his senior to join them in a throuple.

Send us a textEver feel like the same family patterns follow you from one holiday to the next? We dig into why that happens and how to transform it—turning gatherings into a living classroom for communication, boundaries, and high-conscious leadership. Through raw stories and real-time reflections, I share how a personal “running away” pattern showed up everywhere—from dating avoidance to my kid's behavior—and the steps I'm using to stop fleeing and start leading.We break down the idea that family is your fastest leadership school. You'll hear how to shift out of fight-or-flight during tough conversations, anticipate friction before it erupts, and respond with language that's clear and kind. I explain the “inside-out voice,” where criticism from a parent often mirrors your own self-talk, and how neutralizing inner judgments changes the dynamic in the room. You'll also get simple energetic practice ideas to raise the vibe of a holiday dinner, create calm without control, and keep dark emotional contagion from derailing the day.We also touch on the membership focus for December and January—high-conscious leadership—plus upcoming resources including a deeper contagion clearing and a group healing to align your unique leadership skill set.

#388 In this episode, Guy welcomed Gregg Kirk, a musician and healer, who shared his phenomenal experiences with spiritual healing and energy work. Gregg discussed his transformative journey to Brazil to seek healing from the controversial figure John of God. He recounted his near-death experiences, his battle with Lyme disease, and the miraculous healing he experienced through psychic surgeries and sacred energy work. Gregg also talked about his subsequent journey into energy healing, including his past life insights and the powerful remote healings he's conducted for others. Throughout the episode, Gregg emphasizes the potential for miracles and the importance of opening oneself to spiritual possibilities. About Gregg: A riff on the old cliché might be the best way to describe this writer, musician, speaker, healer, and health advocate. Born in Lawrence, Kansas in the last third of the 20th century, Gregg Kirk has lived equal portions of his life in the U.S. Midwest (Kansas & Iowa) and the U.S. East Coast (Mid-Atlantic and New England regions). He has spent his time learning the craft of writing (both prose and music), the healing arts, and public speaking. He has also overcome a potentially life-threatening chronic illness (Lyme disease) and has been dedicating his days to helping others with the affliction. His book "The Gratitude Curve" describes his healing struggle and journey through the realms of spiritual and mystical healing.

In episode 220, host Galit Friedlander and guest Chad Geiger (dance agent at The Movement Talent Agency) pull back the curtain on what representation really looks like from the agency side and what dancers often misunderstand about it. We talk about essential pieces of a sustainable dance career: communication, contracts, headshots and resumes that actually serve you, and how your choices off the floor impact your opportunities just as much as your training on it. Chad shares insight on navigating direct bookings, building trust with your team, and why “doing the basics well” is still one of the biggest differentiators in today's industry.

Mentorship has become a buzzword in pelvic PT and OT — but most conversations around it are incomplete.In this episode, we break down the four distinct types of mentorship that actually shape clinical confidence, patient outcomes, and long-term career satisfaction. Most clinicians receive some mentorship — but very few receive all four.We unpack:Hard Skills Hands-on techniques, assessments, and interventions — what most people think of as “mentorship,” and what many con-ed courses focus on.Soft Skills Communication, motivation, managing difficult personalities, and helping patients truly buy into care. Often overlooked, but frequently the difference between average and exceptional outcomes.Information Understanding diagnoses, testing, medical management, and knowing what actually matters for the patient in front of you — not just what's theoretically interesting.Professional Development Career guidance, burnout prevention, time management, and mentorship that considers you as a person — not just a clinician.We also talk honestly about what to do if you're not getting this level of mentorship where you work — and how to approach your career strategically instead of hoping things improve on their own.

A Special THANKS to Aidite North America for allowing the podcast to record at Nola LabFest. GO SHOW THEM SOME LOVE! aidite.com Duff Wilson's journey in dental technology is anything but typical. From getting thrown into high-volume removable work at a major lab in the early '90s to opening Wilson Dental Lab out of his home and building a lean, relationship-driven business, Duff's story is rooted in grit, loyalty, and doing things the right way—even when it's hard. Along the way, he shares how mentorship, state lab associations, and taking care of people shaped his career, including helping other technicians start their own labs and building a South Carolina–based milling center to support small labs. The conversation dives deep into the evolution of digital dentistry, zirconia, milling centers, design services, and why relationships—not products—are what truly matter in this industry. Duff explains how trust and support led him to work closely with Aidite (https://www.aidite.com/), why being lean is the key to longevity, and how redefining success after a life-changing health scare helped him create a sustainable lab, a better lifestyle, and a clear path for the next generation of technicians Happy Holidays from Ivoclar!

Chris Anderson speaks with Dr. Brian McCarley about his journey from a head athletic trainer to a long-time successful chiropractor, guiding entrepreneurs, business leaders, and families.From Athletic Training to Chiropractic: Dr. Brian recounts his career shift, explaining that the late-night, intense lifestyle of an athletic trainer was incompatible with being a newlywed. This led him through a brief stint in the business world before choosing chiropractic—a more natural, faith-aligned healthcare approach—necessitating a difficult move to Texas for three years of school.The Entrepreneurial Decision Cascade: Success after the initial leap requires navigating a continuous series of smaller, difficult decisions that, when stacked together, can feel overwhelming. Dr. Brian advocates for prioritizing based on what's urgent versus what's truly important, and learning to make the "least bad decision" when all options are challenging. He suggests using whiteboards and Post-it Notes to visualize and prioritize tasks, and to always assess how one decision will affect others down the road.The Value of Advisors: Having a team of trusted advisors is crucial for gaining an outside perspective, simplifying complex issues, and identifying personal "blind spots" or ego-driven blocks that cloud judgment. Dr. Brian sees his role with patients and clients not as an educator, but as a "guide" to help them become the "hero of their own life."Overcoming "Brain Fog" with Health: The episode dives into the connection between health and entrepreneurial performance. Dr. Brian pinpoints "bright shiny syndrome" and neglecting self-care as common causes of mental clarity issues that compromise business-critical decisions.Practical Health Strategies for High-Achievers:Efficient Exercise: Focus on activities that offer the greatest benefit in the shortest time, citing rucking (walking with a weighted vest) as an effective, low-impact method.Time Management & Delegation: Calculate your effective hourly rate and delegate tasks that cost less than that rate to a VA or part-time help, freeing up the entrepreneur for high-value work and personal time.Hourly Brain Breaks: Set a timer to take a 5-minute break every hour to step away from the computer. This prevents neurological burnout and increases efficiency and problem-solving.The Logic of Intermittent Fasting: Dr. Brian shares his thoughts on intermittent fasting, noting that three meals a day is a product of the industrial revolution and that bodies are designed for periods of fasting. He advises anyone trying it to be deliberate, prepare for mental shifts, and learn to distinguish between true hunger and boredom by drinking water. This episode is NOT sponsored.
