In this insightful episode of "How I Made It Through," host Kristin Taylor sits down with returning guest, psychic medium David Hanzel, to discuss the future of humanity, the impact of extraterrestrial life, and the evolution of technology and healthcare. David shares his unique perspective on the challenges and transformations that may unfold in the coming years, offering a blend of spiritual wisdom and practical foresight.Key Points Discussed:1. Extraterrestrial Presence: David reveals that within the next 10 years, the presence of extraterrestrial beings will become more widely known, significantly altering the global dynamic. He emphasizes that these beings are not here to save humanity but to encourage self-improvement and awareness.2. Shift in Consciousness: The discussion touches on a shift towards higher consciousness, where people begin to recognize the falsehoods in their beliefs and start to embrace love and acceptance. David predicts a decline in conditions like ADHD as society begins to understand and appreciate neurodiversity.3. CRISPR Technology: Kristin expresses concerns about CRISPR gene-editing technology. David reassures listeners that while the technology will be beneficial in the long run, its introduction is being delayed due to the potential for misuse. He suggests that humanity has the innate ability to heal itself, and this knowledge will become more apparent in the future.4. Future of Energy and Governance: David agrees with the idea that electric vehicles will be powered by energy from the roads and that eventually, energy will not be a commodity charged for. He also shares his vision of a future without separate governments, where boundaries become obsolete.5. Climate Change and Inhabitability: The conversation addresses the potential consequences of climate change denial, with David warning that certain areas could become uninhabitable if current trends continue. He is hopeful, however, that humanity will take the necessary steps to prevent such outcomes.Episode Highlights:- David's humorous reaction to the idea of predicting the future 10 to 20 years ahead.- The potential for a paradigm shift brought about by extraterrestrial contact.- The importance of self-salvation and the inner work required for societal change.- The future of healthcare and technology, including the cautious integration of gene editing.- The evolving landscape of energy consumption and geopolitical structures.*****************************Subscribe on Apple Podcasts to How I Made It Through: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-made-it-through/id1605802615As well as to our YouTube channel where you can see all the behind the scenes content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyhphxIkHerc0BkfkoR19dg*****************************If you're interested in working with Kristin as an Executive coach, visit her website, https://www.kristintaylorconsulting.com/*****************************Be sure to check out EIQ Media Group's latest podcast series, The Mentor Files.

At Monica + Andy, thoughtfulness is at the core of everything the brand does. The team, led by founder and CEO Monica Royer, believes that every decision should be made by first considering the possible impact on customers, employees and the environment. This episode of Retail Remix highlights how this mindset applies to all aspects of Monica + Andy, from product design to customer service, marketing and company culture. Alicia Esposito chats with Monica + Andy Founder Monica Royer about: The inspiration behind Monica + Andy, including how her personal challenges sparked the idea for a thoughtful brand for new parents; How she drew on her experience with her brother's company, Bonobos, to learn from their successes and challenges in direct-to-consumer retail; Monica + Andy's growth playbook, which combines DTC, wholesale, community and services; and How the brand is designing digital physical spaces to be inclusive and welcoming to parents and young children.

At first glance, children's apparel brand Monica + Andy looks like many other digitally-native businesses. It launched during the DTC heyday, in 2014, most of its sales are online and it's been growing and expanding sales channels every year. But the company has had an interesting trajectory that bucks many of the trends. For one, while it is a digital brand, one of the first things it did was open a store. And for the first few years, its Chicago store was the brunt of its business. "We didn't pay for a single online acquisition maybe until almost 2018," said Monica Royer, co-founder and CEO of Monica + Andy. It was there that Royer learned how to connect directly with shoppers and build a community. Another difference is that while other brands focused on growth at all costs, Monica + Andy has spent years focusing on its bottom line. "The moment that Covid started… our board was like, profitability -- that is going to be the most important thing in the future." These two things have helped the company grow. Today, Monica + Andy has expanded its presence into stores like Walmart and Target, and has continued to grow its online sales. It's also fostered a community of parents via in-store and virtual events, which remain core to its growth strategy. Royer joined this week's Modern Retail Podcast and spoke about her brand's trajectory. One of the early trends that Monica + Andy tapped into -- without even really knowing it -- was that people are looking for ways to connect with brands beyond buying things. The company has held events for years and has taken great pains to make sure it was speaking directly with its shoppers, but Royer said it wasn't considered a way to achieve growth. "We didn't realize we were onto something -- we didn't realize that was an acquisition tool at the time," she said. Similarly, Monica + Andy has been honing how it uses events for the past few years. While it held many virtual events during the early days of the pandemic, it's now been focusing on a more hybrid model. It all points to a strategy of testing and learning, which Monica + Andy has taken to heart. Every year, Royer said, "you have to kind of put your ear to the ground and say: 'All right, how have things shifted, and what's the right mix?'"

My friendship with Andy Dunn started 10 years ago at a conference in Hawaii. Even though we have been in each other's lives for a long time, I had no idea he is a life-long sufferer of depression. When we think about incredible entrepreneurs, like Andy, it is hard to believe that they can be so successful while battling such dark times. Today, on the show, we hear about the human behind the entrepreneur. Andy shares his tumultuous journey and how his mental illness has shaped the way he creates his future businesses. We discuss how new startup founders may struggle with focus and have grandiose ideas about what they think their company is versus what it actually is. How do founders determine the distinction between the fantasy and reality of the business and when it's time to accept reality? He also tells us about the incredible women in his life that have shown him how resilience and perseverance are the cornerstones of continual growth. Through these lessons, he has focused on using his company, Red Swan, to help back minority entrepreneurs and give them an opportunity to grab a piece of the investment pie. I am humbled and thankful to call Andy Dunn my friend, and I hope you enjoy his life story as much I enjoyed sharing it with you. To learn more about Andy, visit LinkedIn or Twitter.
