In dieser Folge geht es um Mealtiming für optimale Verdauung im Sport und Alltag. Wir besprechen, wie Mahlzeitengröße, Essenszeiten, Frühstück, spätes Essen, Stress, Kaffee, Flüssigkeit und Training die Verdauung beeinflussen. Außerdem klären wir, was vor, während und nach dem Sport sinnvoll ist, wie man typische Magen-Darm-Probleme beim Training reduziert und warum individuelle Verträglichkeit oft wichtiger ist als perfekte Ernährungsregeln. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dominiks Buch zur pflanzenbasierten Sporternährung im UTB-Verlag: https://www.utb.de/doi/book/10.36198/9783838560328 Dominiks Gesundheitscommunity: www.gsundes-hannover.de Dominiks Online-Knie-Kurs: https://gsundes-hannover.de/knieschmerzen/ Dominiks Online-Rücken-Kurs: https://copecart.com/products/34bd5abb/checkout Marcs veganes Online-Fitness-Coaching: https://vegainer-academy.com/ Marcs Online-Kurs: https://www.copecart.com/products/a50f88f2/checkout ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieser Podcast wird unterstützt von der Firma Watson Nutrition.

Quick Summary: Kelsey sits down with Jodie, founder of Root and Bloom Therapy, for an honest, heartfelt pregnancy Q&A. They cover everything from why Kelsey waited 20 weeks to announce, to the emotional weight of miscarriage, the art of letting go when you're a type-A entrepreneur, and what intentional postpartum self-care really looks like the second time around.In This Episode:Why Kelsey waited until 20 weeks to announce her second pregnancy — and the business fears behind the decisionThe fear of losing clients when you announce a pregnancy as a self-employed entrepreneurKelsey's miscarriage journey and the conception story she wasn't expectingThe importance of "sitting in the pit" with someone rather than rushing past griefWhy her second pregnancy has felt completely different from her firstPreparing mentally and emotionally for birth and postpartum — with a toddler in the mixNavigating the relationship with her son Freddy during this major family transitionKelsey's worries this time vs. last time: what's changed and what hasn'tOutsourcing and asking for help — finallyPostpartum self-care rituals: the daily micro-moments that actually make a differenceKey Takeaways:You don't owe anyone your news in real time. Holding sacred moments close — pregnancy, health, family milestones — is a boundary, not a secret. Processing privately first is a gift you give yourself.Surrendering control isn't weakness — it's wisdom. In fertility, in business, and in parenting, the outcomes we most want rarely come from forcing them.Grief deserves a witness, not a fixer. When someone is in the pit, what they often need most is someone willing to come sit in it with them — not offer a ladder too soon.Know your joy list before the fog sets in. Write down the five to ten micro-moments that fill your cup before postpartum arrives, because you won't remember them when you're in the thick of it.Values aren't static — and that's okay. Checking in weekly with what this season is asking of you is more sustainable than rigidly holding one set of priorities.Memorable Quotes:"It was never a secret — there are just parts of life so magical that you want to hold them tight to your heart for a little bit." — Kelsey"Sometimes what you need is for someone to come into the pit and sit in the pit with you — not try to make you feel better, just help you not feel so alone." — Jodie"Going back four months, I would not have chosen to process all of that by myself. It was a lot of unnecessary rumination." — KelseyResources Mentioned:Root and Bloom Therapy: rootandbloomtherapy.caRoot and Bloom on Instagram: @rootandbloomtherapyservicesKelsey' Instagram: @KelseyReidlKelsey's Website: KelseyReidl.comKelsey's newsletter: kelseyreidl.com/newsletter"Surviving Life with a Toddler" Workshop: End of June in Brantford (in partnership with Grant Kids Therapy)About the Guest:Jodie Muir is the founder of Root and Bloom Therapy, offering individual and couples therapy with specialized training in perinatal mental health — all things pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.

EP 681: Connor Koch Some episodes just take a minute to get right. We lost the first version of this one — somewhere out there is an SD card with what I’m sure was a hell of a conversation — and you know what? Maybe that was the universe telling us to go again. Because this one hit different. Connor Koch is one of those guys who just operates on a different level. Arc’teryx ambassador for seven years, a man who’s climbed every 14er in the lower 48, skied big lines from Alaska to the High Sierra, and survived an 1,100-foot avalanche ride in ways that defy explanation. He’s the real deal. And now? He’s deep in the hunting rabbit hole, chasing elk solo through grizzly country with a bow he just learned to shoot, logging 70-plus days in the field and coming home with the kind of stories that remind you why we do all of this. We cover a lot of ground in this one. Connor grew up in a tiny San Diego-area town, never saw mountains until his Nissan’s transmission blew up somewhere near a place called Zzyzx on the way to Colorado. He pulled into Vail Pass, jumped out into the June air, and knew — at a cellular level, he says — that he’d found home. That moment launched a decade of elite mountain pursuits that would shape everything that came after. We dig into what it’s like to be a master of one discipline and a beginner in another — and how humbling it is when all your fitness and mental toughness still can’t outwit a wily bull elk. Connor talks about burning a shot opportunity 45 minutes into his first day of bow hunting, running 70+ days solo in the backcountry, getting his camp ripped apart by a known problem grizz the same night he hit a bull high, and why he doesn’t regret any of it. That’s the journey. That’s the process. But it goes way deeper than hunting. Connor opens up about the avalanche that changed him — a full slope that fractured wall to wall, a 1,100-foot washing machine ride, karate-chopping blocks of wind slab before getting obliterated, and emerging from the toe of the debris alive while his partners tunneled out around him. He talks about what that does to your relationship with risk, with the mountains, and with yourself. And then, the hardest decision of his career: turning down a prepackaged invite to ski 8,000-meter peaks in Pakistan, not because he couldn’t do it, but because he finally understood that some pages in your book are okay to leave blank. This is a conversation about reinvention, risk tolerance, the courage to step off the ship when it’s time, and what happens when a man who spent a decade trying to conquer mountains starts learning to be conquered by elk season. Oh, and also — he’s catering his entire wedding with two cow elk and some deer he harvested himself. That’s the kind of dude Connor Koch is. Pull up a chair. This one’s worth every minute.

Your Greatest Strength in One Arena Can Be Your Biggest Weakness in Another Connor came into elk hunting as an elite mountain athlete — faster, fitter, and more mentally tough than almost anyone in the field. And it nearly worked against him. He was blowing out animals by moving too fast, pushing wind when he shouldn’t have, covering miles that didn’t need covering. The hard-won lesson: hunting rewards patience and animal knowledge above all else. Fitness is a tool, not a cheat code. The most valuable thing a hunter can develop — that gut intuition built from thousands of hours of observation — can’t be outworked or outrun. Know what you bring to the table, and be honest about where the gaps are. 2. The Process Is the Point — Not Just a Cliché Connor spent 70+ days chasing elk solo and came home with hard-earned lessons he wouldn’t trade for anything. He let a five-point walk at 42 yards on day one. He lost a bull to a high hit, a rainstorm, and a problem grizzly. He laid in his shredded tent for days still searching. And he says he doesn’t regret any of it. Not because it sounds good, but because every one of those moments compounded into something real. The hunters who last — and who eventually become consistently successful — are the ones who decide early that the journey is the whole thing, not a detour on the way to the outcome. 3. Knowing When to Step Off the Ship Is Its Own Kind of Courage One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is when Connor talks about turning down an invite to ski 8,000-meter peaks in Pakistan — a trip he’d been dreaming about for years. Not because he was scared. Not because he couldn’t do it. But because he finally understood that some chapters have to close so others can open. He’d survived avalanches, close calls, and years of operating on the edge, and he arrived at a place of genuine peace with leaving certain pages in his book blank. That kind of self-awareness — knowing your season, honoring your current chapter, and resisting the pull of old identity — is rare. And it applies way beyond the mountains.

Bill Peden and Adam Muir dropped by to join Tanya & Steve, the conversation quickly turned to one of the Hunter’s most anticipated events, the upcoming Mark Hughes Foundation Lunch with Matty & Fletch. The boys shared what makes the event so special, why it continues to have such a strong impact in the community, and what attendees can expect this year. With plenty of laughs, a few behind-the-scenes stories, and a genuine passion for supporting a great cause, it’s a chat that perfectly captures the spirit of the event and the people behind it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the podcast, Peter and Jackie are joined by Stewart Muir, President and CEO of Resource Works, a leading voice in Canada's natural resource sector with a focus on British Columbia. Peter and Jackie open the episode with a discussion of the latest geopolitical developments, including escalating tensions involving Iran and the resulting volatility in oil prices over the weekend, as the Strait of Hormuz opened and then quickly closed. They also review the news of Prime Minister Mark Carney's newly elected majority government, what it could mean for energy policy, and his recent video address, “Forward Guidance with Prime Minister Mark Carney.” The conversation then shifts to British Columbia, where Stewart provides insight into the province's current political landscape, starting with the controversy surrounding proposed changes to B.C.'s United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) and Premier Eby's unexpected decision not to proceed with them. Peter and Jackie also ask Stewart: Will the Major Project Office (MPO) help advance final investment decisions (FIDs) amid ongoing uncertainty around DRIPA? Is the B.C. government's proposed royalty increase hurting the competitiveness of LNG projects and investment? Is there potential for B.C. to weaken its greenhouse gas policies to better align with federal-provincial agreements, including elements of the Alberta–Canada MOU?  What is the current level of support for oil pipeline development in B.C., including among Premier Eby and Indigenous communities, particularly along the northern route?  With B.C. increasingly importing electricity and facing potential supply shortages in the future, what are the options to expand generation capacity?Content referenced in this podcast: YouTube, Forward Guidance with Prime Minister Mark Carney (April 19, 2026) Power Struggle Podcast with Stewart Muir Financial Post Opinion by Deborah Yedlin: The world has an energy problem and Canada is the solution (April 6, 2026)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Warmup Set for Armin van Buuren, Big Night Live, Boston | March 20, 2026 Exactly one month to date. Opening for Armin van Buuren at Big Night Live was more than a warm-up set; it was a journey. With only four hours of club time in Boston, reading the room, feeling the energy, and guiding the audience where they want to go are essential to building the night properly.

This set weaves together melodic, progressive, underground techno, and timeless trance, featuring music and remixes from John Digweed, Nick Warren, Paul Thomas, Above & Beyond, Layton Giordani, Adam Beyer, Aly & Fila, and Bryan Kearney. Highlights include Gridlock, Athena, Enjoy the Silence, Flight 643 (Hel:sløwed Remix), Your Mind, Somebody Loves You, and to close out the night, On A Good Day. There are defining moments in this mix that shape the story: the tension of Zen Garden, the darkness of At Night, the unexpected remix of Smack My Bitch Up as some chanted (TAKE MY PICTURE), the classic mashup of The Perspective Space by Markus Schulz, and my own Call My Name with Hiwater and Olya Gram woven into the mix. This set was about respecting the warm-up, building atmosphere, tension, and setting the stage the right way before Armin took over. 1. John Digweed - Gridlock (Digweed & Muir's Stereo Club Mix) 2.

Emily Muir, Director of Sales & Marketing at Ontogen Medtech, shares how a non-linear path from retail merchandising to dental implants, optical, and a medtech startup became her superpower for building relationships and driving growth. Emily explains what it takes to break into medical device sales, from self-directed learning and curiosity to finding mentors and giving yourself grace through the learning curve. She also discusses what she's building at Ontogen: a Chicago-area CDMO that supports medtech innovators from early design and brainstorming through quality, regulatory, and contract manufacturing, with an emphasis on trust and long-term partnership.  Guest links: www.linkedin.com/in/esmuir  Charity supported: Save the Children Interested in being a guest on the show or have feedback to share?

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I'm delighted to welcome as my guest, Emily Muir. Emily serves as the Director of Sales and marketing at Ontogen Medtech. Her work focuses on enhancing business performance through strategic new business sales and channel partner collaborations. Throughout her career, she has developed expertise in business reviews, retail strategies, and employee training. Her goal is to contribute to organizational success by leveraging her skills in building partnerships, and driving growth across competitive markets. All right, well, welcome to the show. It's so great to have you here today, Emily. Thanks for being here. [00:01:31] Emily Muir: Thank you so much for having me, Lindsey. I'm so excited to be here. [00:01:36] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yes. Well, absolutely thrilled to have you on and I was just wondering if you'd start off by telling us a little bit about yourself, your background and what led you to medtech. [00:01:48] Emily Muir: Oh yeah, this is gonna be a good one. I would love to. So, full name. My name is Emily Muir. I am the Director of Sales and Marketing at Ontogen Medtech. We're located in the suburbs of Chicago and Ontogen Medtech is a contract development and manufacturing company that helps medtech innovators really bring their visions and their devices to life. My path to this position is not linear, however, not even close, which I've really come to view as my superpower. Really started out in retail merchandising, my degree in retail merchandising, and I started merchandising women's shoes and handbags in probably every department store in the Midwest that you can think of. So I know where all the good deals are, essentially. Yes, which is great to have if you're a girlfriend of mine. But about 10 years into that, I pivoted into medical device sales. I'm starting to cut my teeth on dental implant sales. And then I moved into the optical space and now seeing how really the sauce is made with product development. And really, I fell in love with the industry being able to have an impact on a patient's life, see it in real time, educating their physicians and staff. And really the complexity that comes with that is really what stole my heart. So along the way, I worked at a startup called Avulux. They're a migraine lens company, and that's really where I caught that startup bug like a lot of people do. This really gave me wonderful insight into what makes startup companies successful, really from a commercial standpoint. And then in late 2025, I left and joined Ontogen MedTech, and now I'm here building our entire sales and marketing function from the ground up, which is a daunting challenge and task. And that's kind of what I thrive on. So they really nailed it, in my opinion, the right candidate for the position here. But, you know, outside of work, I really love to foster dogs. I'm very passionate about rescuing dogs. I have two rescues of my own, and there's something about giving a second chance to something that's really been overlooked that really resonates with me. And personally I really love watching the rescue dogs decompress and really melt into incredible companions. Truly, I just think that they need the right partner and the right environment in order to thrive and be successful. [00:04:38] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. I love that. And so I'm curious-- I have so many questions of course, but okay, so we're gonna start with the, well, I guess we'll go back first. So you started with retail merchandising and you worked for a lot of different corporations. What were some of the lessons that you learned for that, and during all those experiences that translated really well into medtech sales and now marketing and whatnot? [00:05:07] Emily Muir: One word, relationships. Those are crucial. Working in the back rooms of department stores, as a retail merchandising rep, you had to figure out who to talk to quickly. Who was the right person, you know, was it a sales rep to promote your product on the floor? How did I get frontline exposure? And do I need to get out there and get dirty to sell my product? Fostering those relationships really helped me understand how to be successful in sales, and that is something through and through no matter what industry you are in, and especially in the medtech product development, you, you have to have strong relationships in order to get your point of view across, in order to effectively communicate your value proposition and to know who to talk to help founders find you. There are so many, there are so many people building in this space and you always hear the noise out there of people saying, "You need to find the right partners. You need to find the right support." And who's gonna help you determine that, who's truly gonna help lead you through all of this? It's finding the people that have the direct access to the founders to help them get into your pipeline so that you can really have that direct experience with them and help them bring their products to life. So if I don't know who those players are and they can't find me, I can't be successful in my role at all. So that's, that is something I always think about coming into this every single day. What can I give to someone else? Who can I talk to? What part of my network can I reach out to so that I can give the right resources, I can give the right message, and we can all grow collectively. [00:07:13] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. And I think to your point, it is so important to nurture those relationships, as in general, I would say that's just good life advice. But at the same time, yeah, but at the same time, I would say what I appreciate about this industry is that yes, there's so many players in this space and it's huge, but at the same time it feels small. So your relationships really do matter in terms of like how you're coming across, how you're perceived, but just in general building that know, like, and trust factor, which again, is really important for your sales and marketing strategy too. So yeah, I love the fact that's a key thing that you took away. And, you know, sometimes I feel like things in our past that aren't directly related to what we're doing now might feel, I don't know, like, "Oh, I don't, what did I get from that? Or how does this help me?" But to your point, so many skills learned along the way that help you now, yeah. [00:08:09] Emily Muir: Absolutely. I, you know, when I made the decision to go from the retail merchandising world in a hard pivot into medical device sales, I really had to step back and say, "Oh, okay. What are those transferable skills that I can use to, to get me there? You know, what do I already know in terms of a process that I can parlay into this, and how can I create that story so that, you know, that my future boss, the recruiter is going to understand where I've been and where I want to go." So that, that was crucial. The story of that is crucial in order to help someone else understand how to leverage you within their company too. [00:08:59] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. So, okay, so let's talk about maybe that transition too between having worked in maybe larger corporations or for larger companies and then going from that to startup life, which is often an adjustment. So I'd just be curious to know how has that been and what lessons have you learned from that journey? [00:09:23] Emily Muir: Oh yeah. That there really is, 'cause I did go from a very large company. I worked for Esler Luxottica for six years as a sales rep for them. One of the, you know, arguably the largest player in the optical world to, to a startup. And what I really took away is that, well, some of the lessons of working in a big company really do work while coming into a startup life. And that is really how do you self-direct yourself and learn because in a big company, you know, sometimes there isn't always someone there to hold your hand and navigate that. And, you know, I did the same thing from not only changing industries, going from retail merchandising into implants, implant sales. And then I went into another industry of the optical world, which is very different. So I had to learn a whole new vernacular. I had to get certified in order to be a speaker there in order to understand what I was talking about. And having the self-direction of, "Okay, I need to get this done. Who do I need to talk to within my own company? What resources do I already have and what do I need to figure out in order to get my job done or create myself?" were lessons I had already experienced within that big company. And maybe many don't think that's something you're gonna learn there, but it actually sets you up really nicely to be in a startup because those are all things you have to navigate on your own and show how you succeeded in that. So kind of with those lessons and having that under my belt already coming and leading within a startup space, I was really able to sit back and say, "Okay, so if I, everything I do, I imagine that I have, you know, multiple staff already, right? That, you know, if I have a new employee, what resources do I need to have in order to help them out?" And that really helps direct my every day. So, having that startup experience I loved it again, you know, got that bug and I just wanted more of it. And I did have my founder, one of my founders say the other day, he was like, "You know, you are just made for that. You're made for taking on this." Like, I go, "Yeah. What else do we need to have done? What do we need to create, you know, what do we, yeah, let's get in there. Let's get dirty." I think it's really about getting in there and getting your hands dirty and just saying, "What else? How do I?" And then being as resourceful as you can to get it done, because there's always somebody who knows something. There's always someone who's kind of done something before. You know, that's really where we can, your startup experience puts all of those pieces together for you. [00:12:22] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's great. Oh, I love that. And yeah, so, okay, so that reminded me too of like, you know, your point of, you know, really getting in there, being self-directed, all of that good stuff. When you first joined the medical device industry I'm curious what your experience was. How was that learning curve for you? Because I remember coming into it and like. I would start listening in on conversations and learning and try, you know, absorbing. And there was a lot of that right at the beginning. And I remember sometimes people would say a full sentence that was just acronyms or ISO something and I was like, "I have no idea what you're saying right now." So anyway, it was, it's lots of learning and curiosity helped to bridge that gap. But for you, what was that like? [00:13:10] Emily Muir: I do pride myself on being pretty good at social cues. So, you know, you go, "Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, we can. Yeah!" And you just really take note of every word that's being said and and really look it up later. Or, "Tell me more about that." You know, getting, it's the curiosity aspect of it, but you do have to do your homework. You do have to, you know, you're in your every day and you have to acknowledge that there is additional homework when you get home or have a friend. I always like to say I would have a friend to ask for dumb questions. We all know the saying, like, "There is no such thing as a dumb question." There are I think sometimes, or at least you feel that, you know that the feeling of the dumb question is real. So really having someone either who's in it with you starting out, or who you can really use to, to help you understand, who can guide you if you can have a mentor. Otherwise, somebody who you can just call who's been in there maybe one more day than you have and say, "Hey, can you help me understand what they said here?" You know, I think this is the context. I'm a big believer in doing your own research first, trying to figure it out yourself, and then going to someone and asking for greater context, asking for a layman's term of it. But it's, it is important that you understand that you're gonna be doing extra research on your own, and that's a really important part of getting into a new industry is being able-- whether you're a founder or you know, you're. You know, a leader in something new or I you just have to dive in and understand there's gonna be extra work, but it's gonna be worth it. And honestly, in my opinion, I think you learn faster that way because you can digest it on your own. [00:15:11] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Okay. So I love the idea of having a buddy and I was very, I think, lucky that when I first joined the industry, there were the, I was really surrounded by, I would say, buddies. You know, colleagues who were just super, open and happy to answer anything or explain anything more. And I remember just having this notebook of just like so many notes about all the things, but you're right, you have to be self-directed in that too and recognize that there is a learning curve, but also give yourself grace for that learning curve because, I think, unfair perhaps to-- and I'm very guilty of this. I expect a lot of myself, so, so, you know, I'm like, "Here we go." And, you know, gungho and like wanting to be as accurate as possible, as quickly as possible, which is a good thing. But at the same time, giving yourself grace to know that, yeah, you're probably gonna slip up every once in a while. You're gonna call something the wrong name. Okay. That's okay too. Just being o- okay with that. Yeah. [00:16:09] Emily Muir: Oh yeah, absolutely. It's wonderful and that I had one person in particular that really took me under her wing and helped direct me. She was a former manager at another company and really was like, "Emily, you need to go here, Emily, you need to look this up, Emily. This is how this is." You know? And saying, "Okay yeah. Just tell me where to go. You know who to talk to, you know, and I'll do it." And we've created a really nice working relationship in that way. But not everybody has that. So it is wonderful to give yourself grace and know that there will be a point where it all clicks. And that's what I think about every single day is that, you know, maybe it's six months, maybe it's a year in where all of a sudden, you explain something flawlessly or you get that, you know, customer, you explain everything. You know, like the pro, like it's every, the world aligns, you get that sale. Or you know, and like somebody looks at you like normal again, like, you know, those are the wonderful moments. And they will all happen. So as a leader, I think it's also good to understand that if you bring someone on that's new to really try to set them up for success and that most people don't want, you know, they're so hard on themselves coming into something new and to just make sure you guide them appropriately. You know, let them know, maybe sometimes people cry. It's tough, you know, like it's, and you're laughing and I hope everyone else who's listening is laughing too 'cause there's always that one moment where you're like, "I swear I'm gonna, I hit my breaking point today" when you're trying something new, like the world is not working out, maybe you slipped up and said something, you sent the wrong email to someone. You know, there, there is always something and you know, understand that these things happen. You know, we don't need to beat ourselves up about it and to gently correct. We can correct or, you know, say, "Hey, I, you know, maybe we could say it like this or, you know, I understand how you might have used that in this context, but this is what, you know," just generally redirect. [00:18:35] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that and I, that's beautiful leadership advice in general and something that I think isn't talked about enough. I think there's a lot of talk about, you know, mentorship and sort of, empowering people. There's a lot of great leadership advice out there, of course, but I really like the way that you put it and really like you said, just helping your team be set up for success. And so I'm actually curious. That's a good segue. So now you, as a leader, are building out a sales and marketing department, so to speak, it's at least at some point. So as you're growing and continuing to go down that pathway, that's really exciting. So tell me a little bit about how your process is going in terms of setting not only the yourself up for success, but the department and you have hires coming in for success and like, how are you thinking about all of that? Because that's a lot. That's no small undertaking. [00:19:34] Emily Muir: It is no small undertaking. And honestly I'm really excited for those days to come. I believe me when I get the "A, okay," I've got plans for what I need and in all of it, asap. I really, first of all, I want to embrace my non-linear path. And I, when you're looking to build a team, it's always important to come first with a realization about what you bring to the table, and I think embracing that. I'm very fortunate with my founders and principal that they really trust me and understand that I bring something very different than they do, and that was very strategic for them. I work with so many engineers and know that I can have the best minds available, but we really need to have different personalities, a different set of reps over on this side so that we can really drive and communicate the mission and vision effectively. So, you know, knowing I don't come from a very linear path, I think it's important to not only look for those people also, but also look for personalities sometimes that do. And you know, because I do, I need a complimentary team to what I bring to the table here. So, but also there are foundations of that I'm always looking for in, in people like curiosity, someone who is adaptable, someone who has a passion for solving these problems, who can really understand what the engineers are bringing to the table and communicating that to potential clients and even having passion for those client projects because it's not our vision, but at the end of the day, we're really telling the story of so many founders and saying, "This is how we help them. This is what they're doing. Look at their success." And that's so important. And to be able to connect the dots across so many disciplines for people as well. Like my tactical advice for somebody who wants to approach my team is kind of approach it with that curiosity, but at the same time, or show me that you are gonna be a student of the business. We just shared about how, you know, we, you have to learn so much that you have to do that extra research on top of your every day, do your homework. That's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for someone who's going to dive in no matter where they're from, in order to be the best version of them themselves and support this team. I'm looking for somebody who is really gonna be investing in their brand because I'm doing that as well. I think that's important. I think that's important for my engineers and my founders as well. People buy from people and not logos. Right? You're a great example of that, Lindsey. I need people to show up consistently as well, consistency sells as well, and also authenticity. I'm a big fan of that. I think that's probably coming across very evidently right now. You know, I'm not a fan of the perfect resume but I'm a fan of when you show up authentically, consistently, and show the effort, that's when you win the sale. And when you connect with someone authentically. So in terms of like leadership with that non-linear path, the foundation of that no matter where you are is crucial, is non-negotiable. [00:23:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. I love that. That's great. And it's really exciting to get to know you at this particular period of time too, because it's fun to watch, you know, and get to see the growth and expansion of your whole business and company and whatnot. And so speaking of that, can you tell us a little bit more about the company, who it serves, how it helps the medtech world? [00:23:51] Emily Muir: Ontogen? Oh yes. Love to. So we are really soup to nuts everything for your startup medtech team. Truly I have a wonderful team of engineers who can take a napkin design that you have a dream, a vision, and take you through that design development process. We can help you with quality management system, regulatory strategy and execution. We can even help you with contract manufacturing. So truly like, and I think people don't believe that, and it's so much to digest, but when you're really looking for a partner out there who can be a part of your team, an integrated part of your team that has wonderful communication, we are truly those people. And my founders have an incredible passion for what they do, which is why they started this, which is why they keep adding things, capabilities that we can do and give to the world, and especially in the Chicago land area. This is not a hub yet for medtech, yet. We are gonna be growing that. And you know, there are other partners out in our space around here that are growing, that are really diving in, and that's our goal for this year. That's our strategy, not only to get our name out there, but also to really have those wonderful relationships with our ecosystem in the Chicago land area. Well, beginning here and then you know, the world but, that, that's our goal. So, you know, if you wanna have, if you wanna look for someone to help you with design and start us out there, try us out there, you're absolutely open to do that. But we do have this habit of getting people early and then helping them into that growth stage. So that's our goal for you, for the early founder out there is to grow with us so that we can get you there and then they can take over the world. [00:25:57] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. There you go. I love that. I love that. And I think it's so cool that you're able to come alongside companies like that and literally help them from that, you know, sketch all the way to development, like the whole process. That's very cool. Yeah. [00:26:13] Emily Muir: The whole process 'cause so many people out there-- and I understand, you know, it's so hard to. I think really know where to look to and where to go, and so many pitfalls from founders are experienced in those in between times. They come to a company that can do X, Y, Z for them, but they can't do then the A, B, C of it, you know? And some people think they're ready for certain stages and we're able to say, "Hey, you know, we know you might think you're there, but wow, we see this opportunity a few steps back. If you'd start here, then we can actually get you here a little bit quicker without having to look for a new partner. We can help you do all of that." And it does require a little trust on the front end in order to do that. We understand that which is why I always say start out with that design or even start out with a brainstorm. If you have an idea for something and you just need to see, is this feasible? We can just do a quick one hour brainstorm with ya. We're actually gonna be doing that with a company soon for diagnostics, which is really exciting, because that was the pitch. They said, "Well, we're really interested, but I don't know." I said, "Hey, let's go in. Let's work this out. Let's see what ideas we come up with. Let's see if this is feasible with my team first, and then we can go from there. No need to commit to everything right up front." [00:27:48] Lindsey Dinneen: That's awesome. Yeah. Yes. That is a, that's a great approach too. I think it's helpful. Also in the idea of, like you kind of mentioned, is the building trust component of not saying, "Oh, you're locked in with us forever and ever. Amen. But no, we really, we are coming alongside you. We wanna be partners with you. We care. I mean, my, I don't think it's the stretch to say we care just as much, you know, about the success of you and bringing this life-saving device to the world." So yeah, I love that approach. [00:28:20] Emily Muir: Ab, absolutely. And honestly sometimes I'm in there with my R&D managers and they're like, "If they would just let us do this one thing, you know, we really think that this would be great. You know, like how can we get them to really see that like this can be better." Like they care so much, and you know, really I just need more angel investor friends for them so that we can, you know, do all of the things that we, you know, we really wanna do for all of our clients. That's my PSA, I need more angel investor and VC friends, so, so that we can truly make their dreams come true with their devices. [00:28:59] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Okay, good call to action there for our listeners here. So, you know, you've had a really amazing career and you've done lots and lots of different things within the medtech industry. Have there been any moments that really stood out to you, is just affirming, "Wow, man, I am in the right place at the right time." [00:29:22] Emily Muir: Oh my goodness. Well, I definitely remember the first time I knew I could do it. You know, there are a few moments along the way that I affirm where you're, I'm on the right path, right? Truly, anytime you get a job, a new job, you're like, "Okay, well, somebody's still gonna hire me. We're still here. This is great. We're still going here." But the first time I really figured out that this was the right place for me was meeting a medical device sales rep. I met a new friend I was in the retail merchandising space, kind of, you know, figuring out what my next step was. Do I keep going here? Do I try to do leadership within the retail space or do I go into something else? And I met this wonderful friend, she's, well, she was an orthopedic sales rep and we were talking about our jobs and I was like, "What we do sounds so similar, but like you help people's lives. You know, like you have a direct impact on the surgeon. Like, you know, you set them up for success so that they can execute their surgery, right?" Like that's so amazing and impactful and really they made a lot more money than I did, frankly speaking which doesn't hurt. But, it was truly that moment when I was going over it with her and then starting to throw ideas about my next step. And she goes, "Oh yeah, you can do that. Oh yeah. What you do, like you just add my terms in there, my vernacular, and put you in front of a surgeon and that's it." And I said, "Okay, you know what? You get help people. I wanna help people. I wanna have an impact. Let's, that's what I'm gonna do." And I just keep finding ways that parts of the industry that keep me excited, and there's no shortage of that here. There's literally something new every day. There's a new product that we're helping bring to market. There's a new part of the industry that is emerging, evolving that you need to learn. That was probably the most impactful moment for me to really know that I was on the right path here. [00:31:42] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Yeah. Okay, so. All right. Yes. And I think it's so cool that you have many moments to draw from 'cause it sounds like the inspiration keeps coming, which is always super helpful, 'cause of course you're gonna have good and bad days. So being able to draw on, oh my goodness, this series of, "How exciting is this to be able to play a part." That's great. Well, all right, pivoting the conversation a little bit just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want, could be in your industry. It doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach? [00:32:21] Emily Muir: This is gonna be really left field. This is gonna, yeah. Yeah. I this is for-- and Lindsey, I don't know if you enjoy the franchise "The Real Housewives" or... [00:32:32] Lindsey Dinneen: I've never watched an episode. [00:32:33] Emily Muir: Or if any, listen-- oh my goodness. Okay. Let's. I will, there's too much. I'll have a brain dump after this. There will be homework to it. You think the medtech industry is hard? Let's go. It would truly be about "The Real Housewives" and their impact on the reality lands and also the personal branding evolution of the reality stars. It's really a case study in marketing and as a marketer, you, I really would look into that heavily because a lot of those women either create products outta that or, I mean, some of them do go to prison unfortunately as well, but I wouldn't look into those as much. There's a strong pipeline there, but a lot of the businesses that are created from women from this platform is truly astonishing. And there really needs to be a course about it, like an MBA level course about it and the successful women who have come from it. [00:33:39] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Oh my goodness. That is out of left field. That is probably the most interesting answer I have ever heard. Not expecting it. Love it. Oh my goodness. [00:33:51] Emily Muir: Thank you. Thank you so much. You can start with Bethany Frankel. She's a great one. I'm sure you've heard of her before, maybe Skinny Girl Margarita. Not a paid plug for her. Yes. That she's a great one. But there aren't many. There are many out there. Yes, start with her. [00:34:07] Lindsey Dinneen: All right. Homework. Excellent. And then how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:34:13] Emily Muir: How do I wish to be remembered? I hope to be remembered as a very supportive person to my friends, my family, my support system. When you are part of my, when you're in, and truly, no matter what you need-- if you give a call in the middle of the night, I, you know, will jump outta my bed to go and help, you know, whatever it is that you need. I try to be truly that ride or die for my friends, my family, and I really hope that's what I'm remembered for, because everyone needs a wonderful support system and someone to, you know, stand behind, stand alongside you, hold your hands sometimes and be that cheerleader. So I try to be that. I have people who are so wonderful in my life who are that for me. And, like, if you imagine, you know, heaven forbid it's like, you know, your funeral. But I do imagine that they are there truly like pom poms in their hand, you know, being my cheerleader because I've been a cheerleader to so many people. That is my dream with some sort of like Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey on probably going at the same time or something that would be... [00:35:30] Lindsey Dinneen: Naturally. [00:35:32] Emily Muir: With "The Real Housewives," you know, just playing in the background, just my masterclass, you know, playing for everyone, the marathon of it, that would really just in probably like a puppy yoga fostering situation happening at the same time because everyone needs to rescue and foster a puppy at some point, so that would be the pinnacle of my life. Something like that. [00:35:58] Lindsey Dinneen: Very specific requests. I love it. We're gonna have, it's gonna be... [00:36:02] Emily Muir: Yes. Absolutely. [00:36:04] Lindsey Dinneen: ...A sad event and like, weird, you know, like, 'cause you're supposed to, you know, you're sad but also puppies, so. [00:36:10] Emily Muir: Puppies for sure. Absolutely. There would be, you know, I'd be like, "Everyone has to leave with a rescue puppy. Like these are my final wishes." [00:36:21] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:36:22] Emily Muir: Mandatory. Mandatory, absolutely. [00:36:26] Lindsey Dinneen: Amazing. Alright. And then final question. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:36:37] Emily Muir: Puppies. Re, re, rescue puppies. My, my dog specifically. They make me smile every time. Heaven forbid you are following me on Instagram or something and seeing my dogs just all the time. I am unfortunately that person. But also if you need a rescue puppy at any time, I probably know like three people off the top of my head who I can get you a puppy like now. So that always, there are always on, on some sort of social media so that always makes me smile. [00:37:07] Lindsey Dinneen: I love it. Nope. I had a really strong suspicion that was gonna be your answer, so, so I am delighted that you you chose puppies 'cause that, that works for me too. I love animals in general and it's like, they just make me smile randomly. I'm just like, "They're just happy," you know? It's so cute. I just love them [00:37:28] Emily Muir: They are so happy. I did foster three puppies at one time, and that was a lot, but there was a lot of happiness. You're just like, you know, they're a little crazy. They're just, you know, all over each other, but they're, you know, playing and you're just like, oh my gosh, this is, there's nothing better right now than the happiness of these puppies. [00:37:48] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes. That's amazing. I just love that so much. My goodness. Well, this has been an amazing conversation, Emily, and took several twists and turns I didn't expect, and absolutely love. And we are so honored to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to Save the Children, which works to end the cycle of poverty by ensuring communities have the resources to provide children with a healthy, educational, and safe environment.

In the summer of 1880, John Muir set out to explore the icy wilderness of what is now Glacier Bay National Park. Traveling by canoe with a missionary and Tlingit guides, he reluctantly allowed a small black dog named Stickeen to join the expedition. At first, Muir dismissed the dog as a useless companion. However, when a violent storm trapped the two of them on Brady Glacier, surrounded by deep crevasses and failing daylight, Stickeen revealed a courage Muir could not ignore, forever reshaping how he understood the minds of animals.

Mark 8:34-38 Crucify Your Life -Not my life, His life (vv. 34-35) Denial of self Death of self Crucify Your Ambition Not my goals, His goals (vv. 36-37) A. Valueless yield Valuable yieldedness Crucify Your Pride Not my way, His way (v.38) He bore the shame for our blame We must bear shame for His Name More to Consider In Venezuela there are great iron mines, from which ore is shipped to the largest iron works in the world, near Philadelphia. If a man were to try to get iron out of ore with a hammer, he could not do it, because iron is not a mechanical agglutination; it is a chemical union. The ore must go into a great furnace; as the temperature rises, the iron within the ore turns to liquid, and the pure metal runs out. This is exactly how God works in your life and mine. This is why we must be salted with fire. You and I cannot hammer sin out of our lives. God loves us and He will salt us with fire until the slag is burned away and only pure metal remains. So, if you and I desire to be delivered from sin, we must be willing to go into the flame. There is no other way. Signs of the Times. Tourists to California stand in awe and admiration of the redwood tree. Something unusual happens when this giant of the forest dies or is cut down. For years sightseers in Muir's Woods near San Francisco were shown the stump of a tree which was a sapling at the time of Solomon. From this dead stump of the old tree a number of young redwoods were growing. It is peculiar to the redwood that it does not produce any young trees until it dies. At the death of one, a number of smaller ones spring up around it, getting their start and their nourishment mostly from the dead stump. What a reminder this is of the tree of the cross. It was a tree of death which became a tree of life. It had to die first before it could give life. But once cruel men had cut down Christ by crucifixion and had buried Him, He sprang forth and countless other Christians sprang forth. Signs of the Times. I counted dollars while God counted crosses. I counted gains while He counted losses! I counted my worth by the things gained in store. But He sized me up by the scars that I bore. I coveted honors and sought for degrees; He wept as He counted the hours on my knees. And I never knew 'til one day at a grave, How vain are these things that we spend life to save! Ibid. An American businessman went to Oberammergau to witness the Passion Play. Enthralled by this great drama which depicts the story of the cross, he went back stage at the conclusion of the play to meet Mr. Anton Lang, who played the part of the Christ. Our American friend snapped the picture of Anton Lang, much to Mr. Lang's discomfort. Then looking about the stage for something more to shoot with his camera, he saw over in the corner the great cross which Mr. Lang had carried up the hill to Calvary in the play. Quickly turning to his wife he said, "Here dear, you take my camera. I'm going over and lift up the cross. When I get it up on my shoulder, you snap my picture carrying the cross. Won't that be a novel and exciting picture to send home to our friends in America?" The man had hurried over beside the cross. He stooped down to lift it to his shoulder, but he could not budge it one inch off the floorthe cross was made of heavy iron-oak beam. Puffing with amazement the man turned to Mr. Lang and said, "Why, I thought it would be light. I thought the cross was hollow. Why do you carry a cross that is so terribly heavy?" Mr. Lang drew himself up to his full height and replied with compelling dignity and rebuke, "Sir, if I did not feel the weight of His cross, I could not play His part." Benjamin P. Browne

Jane Muir  - J. Muir & Associates P.A. On the Bold Truth: "But long story short, litigation has to be part of your comprehensive business plan." It is always best to have an attorney before you need one, especially in business. Jane Muir is a business attorney that has seen almost everything.  She started her law practice to help entrepreneurs navigate the law. From the basics of forming your business entity to protecting yourself through solid contracts and smart bookkeeping, Jane Muir shares invaluable advice for business owners at every stage. She discusses common pitfalls companies face, such as collecting unpaid invoices, navigating litigation, and when (or if) it's even worth chasing what you're owed. You'll also hear about the often-overlooked power of credit reporting, and why a solid business plan includes preparing for legal disputes, not just dreaming big. Jane Muir gets candid about her own journey: growing up in a family of lawyers, how market downturns led her to start her own practice, and why embracing technology and AI has helped her firm stand out and serve clients more efficiently. Plus, she recommends the essential business books every entrepreneur should read (hint: it's not all about law). Listen as Jane explains what to look for in a great business attorney and how an attorney can help you prevent and solve some issues you may come across. Enjoy!

You could be a painter or a social media marketing person, but if you're not getting your invoices out and getting paid, you're just not going to have a business. Well, that's really so important that we make sure everybody is aware that bookkeeping is the backbone of your business and you might not like it. It might be boring. So you got to find someone who's going to do it for you. But if you don't have your bookkeeping in order, then you're lost and you'll never be able to succeed.

We are locally underwritten by the Bank of Sun Prairie, Calls On Call Extraordinary Answering Service, The Bold Business Book, as well as LiveSwitch. Today we are welcoming/preparing to learn from Jane Muir of J. Muir and Associates, PA. Jane, how is it going today? Jane Muir [00:01:09]: It's a beautiful day in Coral Gables. How are you? James [00:01:12]: I am doing well. You know, you and I were chatting right before here about the initials after the name, J. Muir and Associates, the PA. So let's dig into some legal stuff right away. What is the PA? Jane Muir [00:01:26]: Every state has statutes that define the different types of corporate entities that they allow. And in order to tell the public what corporate entity you have, there are little letters at the end of the name of the company, like Inc. or LLC or Co. And those are designed to give notice of what rules and, um, rights and responsibilities apply to that corporate entity. Uh, my entity is called a professional association, which is specific to professionals who hold a license. It can apply to accountants, architects, engineers, lawyers, doctors, and it's essentially a partnership form. Um, which is an option just for licensed professionals. James [00:02:18]: Nice. So that would be in addition to, or instead of an LLC or S corporation, something like that? Jane Muir [00:02:26]: It would be instead of. James [00:02:27]: Uh, instead of. Jane Muir [00:02:28]: A professional group like lawyers or doctors, they can have a PA or a PLLC, or they can have another thing called a limited liability partnership, an LLP. Theoretically, they could have other types of entities to allow non-licensed professionals to participate. Like if, if I were going to start a non-law firm business, for instance, I can have anything I want. It could be an LLC, it can be an Inc. And in Florida, they allow us to kind of make a Frankenstein where we take features of the different statutes and make them into one. Corporate entity that has features of all of them. Uh, but really anything goes and the, the little letters at the end are supposed to just kind of give the public an idea of what to expect. James [00:03:24]: Interesting. Is that, is the PA thing newer or has that been around for a while? Jane Muir [00:03:29]: No, it's ancient. It's, it's one of the earliest corporate forms. James [00:03:33]: Oh, really? Jane Muir [00:03:34]: All right. James [00:03:35]: How cool is that? And just outta curiosity here, why did you or your team choose PA versus LLC or LLP or whatever? Jane Muir [00:03:44]: I think, well, I, I'm the sole shareholder of our firm. We have partners, but, um, I'm the sole shareholder and I just think it's a classic choice. It, to me, it conveys that we're traditional even though We're advanced in technology and we're advanced in, in our approach to managing matters. We, we do want to convey to the public that we're old school lawyers doing real legal work. James [00:04:18]: Right on. I love it. So let's dig into that, Jane. What is, what do you do? Jane Muir [00:04:24]: I'm a business lawyer. I'm located in Miami, Florida. Our firm has offices in Dade, uh, Palm Beach, and, um, opening soon in Alachua County. James [00:04:36]: Nice. Jane Muir [00:04:37]: And we help business owners with their legal issues from mainly contracts and, and issues relating to permits needed or, or business licenses, troubleshooting all kinds of random things that can pop up in a business. Uh, and then the remainder of our practice is commercial litigation. James [00:04:59]: Oh, that sounds like fun. Jane Muir [00:05:01]: I don't, yeah, we deal with a lot of conflict. James [00:05:05]: All right. All right. So let's dig into that cuz that sounds like fun, right? Uh, tell me about the conflicts that a typical business owner or business entity would run into. Jane Muir [00:05:15]: I would say mainly it's collecting money. All right. Or dealing with— James [00:05:20]: it always comes down to money, right? Jane Muir [00:05:21]: Yes. It's always money. James [00:05:23]: All right. Um, and is this because somebody put together a partnership that's bad or more, uh, vendor-customer type relationship? Jane Muir [00:05:32]: We do have the partnerships gone bad, but I would say the majority of our work is vendor and customer relationships. Like someone owes you and you need to sue to force them to pay. James [00:05:45]: All right. So in my extremely limited experience. There is a dollar amount threshold where it's just not worth chasing from the headache and the way the system is set up. I guess in the, the little experience that I had of going to small claims court, it was annoying. It was expensive. And in the end, even when I won, I still didn't get paid. So tell me a story from, uh, what you would like small business to know, small business owners to know when it comes to collecting money, when it comes to dollar amounts. Or who's worth chasing and things like that? Jane Muir [00:06:19]: What a great question. That's, that's my every day. I process that question. What, what the cost benefit analysis is for a litigation. So first you want to know how much is at issue. And let's say if it's under $50,000, I really don't, I usually tell people, don't throw your good money after bad. And the reason is because our average litigation has expenses of about $50,000. And takes 2 to 2.5 years to come to a conclusion. Jane Muir [00:06:50]: Wow. Our, our least expensive litigations are $10,000 to $15,000, and they either resolve early by settlement or we win by default. And then the most expensive litigation we've had so far was a 3-year litigation. It had expenses of like $800,000. We ended in a jury verdict of $6.3 million. So that justified the expense, but whether we're ever going to collect on that is still an open question. So question number 1 is how much is at issue? Does it make it worthwhile to pursue? Then you want to ask, is there a way to recover the fees if you win? Because you don't just want the money you lost, you want to get the fees back. So oftentimes when I consult a business owner, I'm looking at their agreements with their customers and they don't have a prevailing party fee provision, which makes it not really worthwhile to pursue. Jane Muir [00:07:51]: So you want to see if you can collect fees and then you want to see that there's a pocket to pull the money out of either insurance or a property that's not protected by homestead or some other exemption that makes it uncollectible,

The journal of nature-lover John Muir who spent the summer of 1869 walking California's Sierra Nevada range. From French Bar to Mono Lake and the Yosemite Valley, Muir was awestruck by everything he saw. The antics of the smallest “insect people” amazed him as much as stunted thousand-year old Juniper trees growing with inconceivable tenacity from tiny cracks in the stone. Muir spent the rest of his life working to preserve the high Sierra, believing that “the clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” John Muir (1838-1914) was born in Dunbar, Scotland and grew up in Wisconsin, USA. This recording commemorates the 140th anniversary of that first summer. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

From French Bar to Mono Lake and the Yosemite Valley, Muir was awestruck by everything he saw. The antics of the smallest “insect people” amazed him as much as stunted thousand-year old Juniper trees growing with inconceivable tenacity from tiny cracks in the stone. Muir spent the rest of his life working to preserve the high Sierra, believing that “the clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” John Muir (1838-1914) was born in Dunbar, Scotland and grew up in Wisconsin, USA.

Indigenous Cultural Heritage Protection: Investor Risk, Responsibility & First Nations-Led Governance | The Greener WayThis week on The Greener Way, host Michelle Baltazar speaks with Kado Muir, chair of the National Native Title Council ahead of the RIAA Conference in May where Muir is one of the panelists on a session titled, “Indigenous Cultural Heritage Protection: Investor Risk and Responsibility”.Muir argues that tools already exist to protect indigenous heritage, but incentives and governance are lacking, including too few First Nations people in decision-making roles and boards.He urges investors and governments to screen risks, work with First Nations governance institutions, and make cultural heritage protection a non-negotiable in boardroom discussions.02:20 Responsible investment steps03:46 Scorecards and governance gaps06:46 Real world liability examples11:45 Native title and investor risk15:53 Building a virtuous cycle17:50 Standardising with First Nations19:05 Board representation is a blind spot22:21 Five years after Juukan Gorge23:40 Progress and podcast wrap02:20 Responsible investment steps03:46 Scorecards and governance gaps06:46 Real world liability examples11:45 Native title and investor risk15:53 Building a virtuous cycle19:05 Board representation blind spot22:21 Five years after Juukan23:40 Positive note and wrapLinks:https://www.kadomuir.com.au/Podcast: My culture story with Kado MuirThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Scott Muir is one of the most inspirational and positive people that I've been honored to meet. His story is both incredible and so so scary; and through it all he is one of the most upbeat, engaging, and happy people I've met. I got way more out of this interview than Scott has any idea. He thoroughly impacted me and I have very much taken his messages to heart. Scott is a proud husband and parent, a passionate lifelong surfer, an Air Force Academy graduate and D1 soccer player, an Air Force veteran, pilot, is someone that likes to do hard things; and speaks in compelling and inspirational sound bites. He's truly an embodiment of all the books and podcasts on high performers that I consume. In September 2025, Scott completed a giant goal he had set for himself; paddling the 30 mile prone paddle fundraising event in honor of fallen lifeguard Ben Carlson; the Ben Did Go 10.0. And he crushed it. Two weeks later Scott was surfing with a good friend in solid surf. Because of a split second choice and a smile, they made friends with two young guns out surfing the same spot. That connection saved Scott's life. Scott tells the story of breaking his neck, being rescued and the recovery journey he is on. This interview is full of chicken skin moments, inspirational storytelling, and an incredible way to look at life. We should all strive to live like Scott.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with  Melissa Muir, acclaimed jewelry artist and teacher. She highlights how embracing life's unexpected pivot points opens new paths for creativity, personal growth, and transformation. In today's episode, we discuss: Honor your pivot points. Notice the moments whernt feels like a dead end. What would be different if you chose to see it as a time to redesign? Use every closed door or "mistake" as information for your next step. Allow creativity to be learned. Release the belief that you're "not creative" and give yourself permission to practice, experiment, and grow your skills one imperfect attempt at a time. Come home to your own truth. Gently question inherited beliefs, rules, and expectations so you can build a true relationship with yourself, the divine, and others that feels loving, spacious, and genuinely your. Choose communities that help you flourish. Intentionally seek out people who are curious, creative, and kind, knowing that "creativity breeds creativity" and you don't have to do it alone. Talk gently to your younger self. Revisit the bullied, lonely, or hurting version of you and let them know what's coming, so you can release old pain and stand more fully in who you are now.

Burnout isn't a weakness—it's often the side effect of carrying responsibility under constant pressure. This episode explores how high performers can protect their mental health without lowering their standards. If you work in conflict-heavy environments (law, leadership, business, high-stakes roles), you'll learn how to shift from outcome-chasing to process mastery, build boundaries that improve efficiency, and borrow recovery habits from sports psychology. About the Guest: Jane Muir is a Miami business law attorney and managing shareholder at Jay Muir & Associates. She shares lessons from her own burnout recovery and her work in high-conflict legal environments. Episode Chapters: 00:03:00 Burnout from responsibility, not weakness 00:04:24 Is burnout “the price of ambition”? 00:06:22 The boundary that changed everything: laptop closed at 6pm 00:07:47 Stop outsourcing happiness to outcomes 00:09:12 “With Winning in Mind”: how top performers get in the zone 00:12:08 Early burnout signs: negativity, frustration, inner critic 00:16:04 Reset after setbacks: reflect, move forward, take breaks, gratitude Key Takeaways: Set a hard stop time to force focus and efficiency. Train for process consistency, not emotional rollercoasters of wins/losses. Use daily self-talk and affirmations to stabilize self-image under pressure. Create simple work-start rituals to enter a flow state faster. When setbacks hit: reflect on progress, then re-engage with “what's next.” 5.

A reading of selected musings from the great John Muir with nature video montage for your contemplation and relaxation.John Muir (April 21, 1838 – December 24, 1914), also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks", was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, glaciologist, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States.His books, letters and essays describing his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley and Sequoia National Park, and his example has served as an inspiration for the preservation of many other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he co-founded, is a prominent American conservation organization. In his later life, Muir devoted most of his time to his wife and the preservation of the Western forests._________________________________
