In this episode, we discuss: How transferable skills from early career experiences can impact nonprofit leadership roles.

Why post-treatment movement is essential for both physical and mental health. How Suzanne transitioned from volunteer roles in Texas to leading Livestrong. Why collaboration, partnership and building a network for scalable change are key to making a significant impact. Why the focus on quality of life beyond survival is important for young cancer survivors.   Suzanne Stone President and CEO of Livestrong   Suzanne is a graduate of Texas Christian University and a native of Louisiana.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 27th Publish Date: September 27th   From the BG AD Group Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, September 27th and Happy heavenly Birthday to Meat Loaf ***09.27.24 – BIRTHDAY – MEATLOAF*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. 1.       Alcovy River, several creeks are reportedly flooding in Gwinnett 2.       Gwinnett schools' officials defend putting weapons detection systems in stadiums instead of schools 3.       Gwinnett County Public Schools SAT results top national average All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Alcovy River, several creeks are reportedly flooding in Gwinnett Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm, caused significant flooding across Gwinnett County, Georgia, as it moved through the area. Big Haynes Creek and the Alcovy River exceeded flood stages, with minor flooding reported in several locations, including the Yellow River basin and Suwanee Creek. The county is under a Tropical Storm Warning, with flash flood warnings in effect. Power outages affected thousands, with Georgia Power, Jackson EMC, and Walton EMC reporting significant disruptions. The National Weather Service warned of possible tornadoes and high winds, with gusts reaching up to 70 mph in some areas. STORY 2:  Gwinnett schools officials defend putting weapons detection systems in stadiums instead of schools Hurricane Helene delayed the debut of Gwinnett County Public Schools' new weapons detection devices at Lanier High School's football stadium, as all games were canceled. The devices, part of a $3 million purchase, aim to enhance safety at athletic events. District officials demonstrated the devices to the media, addressing concerns about prioritizing stadiums over schools. The Evolv system can detect concealed weapons and will be implemented gradually at football games. While some parents questioned the decision, officials emphasized the importance of a multi-layered security approach, including cameras and school resource officers, to ensure safety. STORY 3:  Gwinnett County Public Schools SAT results top national average Gwinnett County Public Schools' "SAT for All" initiative has led to the Class of 2024 scoring 21 points above the national average on the SAT, with an average score of 1016. This program, offering the SAT during school hours at no cost, increased participation by 38% compared to the previous year, with 11,196 seniors taking the test. GCPS is the only district in Georgia providing this opportunity, contributing to nearly 20% of the state's SAT test-takers. The initiative aims to expand college readiness, with 4,254 students meeting the College Board's benchmarks, up from 3,915 in 2023. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back   Break 2: Tom Wages (08.05.24 OBITS_FINAL)   STORY 4:  Greater Atlanta Christian Student Wins USA Ambassador Pageant Arielle Urquhart, a seventh-grader at Greater Atlanta Christian, has had a remarkable year, winning the USA Ambassador Pageant in the Pre-Teen Division and being recognized as a "Miracle Kid" by the Children's Miracle Network. Despite a severe car accident four years ago, Arielle has thrived, becoming a cheerleader and continuing her community service through her nonprofit, Arielle's Angels. Her pageant success includes awards for talent, community service, and more. As a USA Ambassador Queen, she will make monthly appearances and support various causes. Arielle will also attend the Miss America Pageant as a Little Sister, representing her home state. STORY 5:  'A Perfect Fit' — Raik Mediterranean Kitchen Enhances Suwanee's Dining Options Faiq Usman, chef and owner of Raik Mediterranean Kitchen, has strong ties to Suwanee, where his family lives and city officials encouraged him to open his restaurant. Named after his son, Raik offers Mediterranean cuisine inspired by Usman's grandmother's traditional Palestinian recipes. The menu features dishes like hummus, falafel, and kabobs, with Usman's favorites being Palestinian mhammar and beef shawarma. Previously, Usman ran a restaurant in Michigan before moving to Gwinnett County. Since opening in February, Raik has become a vibrant part of Suwanee's dining scene, offering outdoor seating and a full bar near Town Center. We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: Lilburn Daze (09.13.24 LILBURN DAZE_FINAL_REV 3) – INGLES 9 (Ingles Markets (What To Add To Diets) 9) STORY 6:     UPDATED CLOSINGS: Gwinnett County Government Offices Closed On Friday Due to severe weather, all Gwinnett County Government offices, except essential services, will be closed today. Residents are advised to avoid roads due to strong winds and potential flooding. Closures include all Gwinnett County Public Library branches, Georgia Gwinnett College classes, and the GGC Preview Day. Gwinnett County Courts have canceled hearings and trials, except for first appearances at the Detention Center. The Animal Welfare's Return to Community Cat Program and all Health and Human Services senior centers will also be closed. The Tax Commissioner offices closed early on Thursday and will remain closed today. STORY 7:  Georgia Supreme Court disqualifies West, De la Cruz from presidential ballot Presidential candidates Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz will appear on Georgia's Nov. 5 ballot, but their votes won't count due to a Georgia Supreme Court ruling. The court upheld lower court decisions that their electors filed improper nominating petitions. Consequently, only four candidates—Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, Libertarian Chase Oliver, and Green Party's Jill Stein—are qualified. Although it's too late to remove West and De la Cruz from the ballot, polling places will post notices that votes for them won't count. This decision reversed an earlier order by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Gwinnett County Fair (07.29.24 GWINNETT FAIRGROUNDS_FINAL) Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

On this episode of the SeventySix Capital Sports Leadership Show, Wayne Kimmel interviewed Andy Guelcher & Darius Prince from the Albany Firebirds & Jon Williams from Summit Trail Adivors. Williams joined Summit Trail Advisors as a Partner in 2019. Williams works closely with a select group of high-net-worth clients and their outside advisors to develop and execute financial strategies, acting as their outsourced family office. His team specializes their focus on business owners, entrepreneurs, public company executives, and private foundations.

Previously, he held roles in private banking and in the investment advisory business with UBS and M&T Bank. In 2017, he was named to Central Pennsylvania Business Journal's 40 under 40 where he was recognized as a top young business leader in the Central PA region.

Jon Williams: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonwilliams-sta/ Guelcher is the President at Mohawk Chevrolet in Ballston Spa, NY. Guelcher began his career nearly 20 years ago as a sales person in Pennsylvania & slowly worked his way thru the business. He arrived in the Capital Region 8 years ago & has spent the last 3 as President of Mohawk Chevrolet. Guelcher set a goal early in his career to be in his position today. However, he did achieve that goal at a pretty interesting time. In his interview with WGY's Doug Goudie, he talks about how just 30 days after opening the dealership in November 2019, General Motors went on strike. About 90 days later, the Covid-19 pandemic began. At first, there was concern, not knowing which direction the automotive industry would go, but it ended up taking a turn in the opposite direction & became the best timing they could have asked for. Like so many other businesses, Guelcher & his team have also dealt with supply chain issues over the past couple years. Between the parts & microchip shortages, Guelcher has stayed true to the core values of his business to carry them thru. Andy Guelcher: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-guelcher-18485777/ Darius Prince is no stranger to football and has been playing professionally for over a decade.

In 2021, Darius Prince signed with the Albany Empire and had multiple historic seasons winning 2 NAL titles being awarded 2021 National Arena League Offensive Player of the Year, and being the first Wide Receiver National Arena League MVP in 2022.
