Remember acid rain? If you were a kid in the 1980s like our hosts were, the threat of poison falling from the sky probably made some kind of impression on your consciousness. But thanks to the work of scientists, government, the media, and the pope—that’s right, the pope—the problem was fixed! Well, mostly fixed is probably more accurate. This complicated story spans 27 years, six U.S. presidents, and ecologist Gene Likens's entire career. Discover the insidious details in the second chapter of our three-part series on environmental success stories.  Credits Hosts: Alexis Pedrick and Elisabeth Berry Drago Senior Producer: Mariel Carr Producer: Rigoberto Hernandez Audio Engineer: James Morrison  Additional audio was recorded by David G. Rainey. Image of Gene Likens by Phil Bradshaw of FreshFly.

If you were around in the 1980s, you probably remember the lurking fear of an ominous hole in the sky. In the middle of the decade scientists discovered that a giant piece of the ozone layer was disappearing over Antarctica, and the situation threatened us all. The news media jumped on the story. The ozone layer is like the earth’s sunscreen: without it ultraviolet rays from the sun would cause alarming rates of skin cancer and could even damage marine food chains. And it turns out we were causing the problem. Today, more than three decades after the initial discovery, the ozone hole in Antarctica is finally on the road to recovery. How did we do it? This environmental success story gives us a glimpse into what happens when scientists, industry, the public, and the government all work together to manage a problem that threatens all of us. Happy Earth Day! Credits Hosts: Alexis Pedrick and Elisabeth Berry Drago Senior Producer: Mariel Carr Producer: Rigoberto Hernandez To research this episode we read Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway.

Our guest this week on the Empowered Women Show is a financial coach, a money-mindset expert and experienced wealth manager with over 15 years experience. She is also a TedX speaker and has featured regularly in US national media, including Forbes magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and the NBC Evening News in Silicon Valley.  HILARY HENDERSHOTT loves what she does, but that hasn't always been the case. A corporate job in high tech marketing left her feeling depressed and on the verge of tears at the end of each day. An overwhelming desire to loose the ceiling that was her corporate job and the perceived freedom of entrepreneurship pushed her to take the leap. While working as a financial advisor in her parents' wealth management firm, Hilary saw that there was something very large missing from the conversations around money. She found that, especially among women, money mindset and money psychology were not often talked about or considered as a factor in wealth management and future financial wellbeing. With this in mind, she started her business Hilary Hendershott Financial, helping women (and men) to understand and change their money mindset, empowering them to become financially successful. Hilary shares her journey with us along with some of her tips and tricks on how you can change your money mindset.

In 1976, when The People's Pharmacy® was originally published, it was one of the first books providing drug and health information to consumers. It went on to become a number one bestseller.
