What if the breakthrough isn't about fixing your speech but letting go of the pressure to hide it? As a kid, Dennis did everything he could to try and keep everything under control, especially his stutter. Now a PhD engineer and public speaker, he opens up about the real work behind his personal and professional growth: learning to meet himself where he is and speak from a place of presence. In this warm, story-rich episode, Dennis and I explore what personal growth through self-expression really looks like. We talk about overcoming perfectionism in communication, the emotional cost of always trying to “sound right,” and how learning to communicate more authentically changed Dennis's confidence, career, and relationships. Whether you're a high-achieving professional who struggles with speaking with confidence, or someone navigating the internal tension between how things look on the outside and how they feel on the inside, I invite you to listen to Dennis' story and remember that communication growth starts with self-compassion. In this conversation on personal growth through self-expression, Dennis shares the personal and professional growth that came from embracing his stutter rather than hiding it. Here's what you'll discover: How perfectionism shaped his early communication and why he's let it go Why speaking with presence matters more than speaking “right” The connection between mental state, mindfulness, and confident communication How spontaneity became more powerful than fluency A real-life “Billy Madison moment” that unexpectedly shifted his relationship with stuttering What it means to meet yourself where you are and how that changes everything And much more TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Introduction to TranscendingX 00:39 – Meet Dr. Dennis: the people-person PhD who stutters 01:34 – The personal growth journey of Dennis Szymanski 02:07 – Diving into semiconductors: life as a high-performing engineer 05:13 – Life and career of a semiconductor engineer 07:08 – Overcoming stuttering: childhood stories and mindset shifts 12:28 – How mindfulness and yoga support confident communication 21:37 – Spontaneity vs. fluency: a new paradigm for speaking with confidence 35:48 – The pressure of unscheduled conversations 36:23 – How mental state impacts stuttering and speaking performance 37:11 – Using yoga and mindfulness to improve self-expression 39:32 – Embracing imperfections 40:01 – Meeting yourself where you are 40:48 – Mental resilience and its role in effective communication 41:29 – Saying no without guilt & setting boundaries 41:53 – Navigating social interactions 42:15 – A speech science hack for smoother, more natural speaking 42:31 – Language constraints, adaptability, and confidence in speaking 50:41 – The power of mantras in reframing your communication mindset 55:53 – High school memories and stuttering: a Billy Madison moment 01:03:24 – Advice to a younger self: letting go of perfectionism 01:04:55 – Final reflections ABOUT OUR GUEST Meet Dennis Szymanski, a Long Island native who has lived up and down the East Coast while developing his relationship with stuttering. Now settled in a quiet North Carolina beach town with his partner Sam, their dog Rocky, and turtle Lennie, Dennis fully embraces coastal living. With a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from NCSU, he works as a Product Engineer for a British semiconductor firm. When not in the lab, Dennis hits the disc golf course, practices yoga, plays trumpet, explores entrepreneurship, and enjoys all things water-related. The beach remains his sanctuary - a place to truly "Be As You Are" (yes, that's a Kenny Chesney reference - he's a country music fan). Dennis began speech therapy in public school, later transitioning to private practice, but that was just the beginning. His journey through stuttering has involved numerous highs and lows that shaped his entire being. Various therapeutic approaches beyond speech therapy have helped him develop a more mindful relationship with his stutter. As an active Toastmaster serving as Treasurer for his Jacksonville, NC club, Dennis continuously pushes beyond his comfort zone while building his speaking toolbox and competing in speech competitions. His philosophy? Growth happens outside your comfort zone - and for those who stutter, joining a public speaking club definitely qualifies. But as Dennis would say: You can do it. You will do it.

Air filters can be adapted to the needs of your commercial building or home, and your needs may change with the seasons. Working with these changes can be beneficial to balancing efficiency and quality of air you get. Today we're diving further into future standards and developments with Kathleen Owen. We get into the imbalance between indoor and outdoor air quality standards, along with ASHRAE Standard 241, which will be official from January 1, 2025, and how that will affect filter requirements.Our expert guest has over 30 years experience working in the field and is considered the OG of indoor air quality, Kathleen Owen. THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUTBalancing energy efficiency and air qualityChallenges for schools with budget restraints Decarbonization and reducing carbon footprintsOutdoor air quality standard vs lack for IAQFuture of gas and VOC mitigationGUEST DETAILSKathleen Owen, ASHRAE Fellow, has extensive experience in gaseous and particulate matter air cleaning, determining air cleaning efficiency, and developing test methods to evaluate various air cleaning technologies.Prior to starting her own company, Kathleen spent 33 years at RTI International where she worked on the ASHRAE and EPA projects that developed ASHRAE air cleaner efficiency test methods 52.2 (for particles), 145.2 (gases), and 185.1 (UV-bioaerosol). She also developed chamber test methods for gas and bioaerosol removal by in-room air cleaners based, in large part, on the AHAM CADR test method. EPA, DOD, ASHRAE and other projects she has worked on included air cleaning, air quality, contaminant transport modelling, technology development, and aerosol penetration of protective garments. Also, after working in the lab for several years, she ran the RTI commercial air cleaner test lab for over 20 years with over 100 different companies as customers over the years. She now works for various customers as a consultant.Kathleen earned a BS in chemical engineering from NCSU and an MS in Air Pollution Control Engineering from UNC-CH.https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathleen-owen-4381a21a/ https://dl.ashrae.org/Profile?lectIdx=4166a637-bfd5-45fa-9fc1-00dab658a36d MORE INFORMATIONABOUT CAMFIL'S CAO INITIATIVEThe Chief Airgonomics Officer initiative was started by Camfil, a leading manufacturer in premium clean air solutions and an advocate for access to clean air.The Chief Airgonomics initiative is being driven at a time of urgency: sensitivities over air have heightened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, air pollutants are well known to damage the environment and the newly published WHO Air Quality Guidelines show us that air pollution is more damaging to human health than previously understood.The initiative is a direct response to these realities while also bringing to life Camfil's mission of protecting people, processes and the environment.

Perfume, bug spray, cleansers, a lot of them have VOC emissions. - Kathleen OwenI do know that we're gradually getting more data and more awareness of what the different gases in the air can do to people, but I hope we find more answers and assume that we will. - Kathleen Owen I think it's critical that we first get air cleaners that put bad stuff into the air off the market. - Kathleen OwenKEYWORDS#outdoorair #ashrae #air #merv #particles #indoorairquality #filter #energy

This week, Matt sat down with the Director of Defense Industry Initiatives, Michael Mullins, out of North Carolina State University's Industry Expansion Solutions to talk about North Carolina's integral role in national manufacturing; defense, textiles and more. As lead of defense initiatives with NC's MEP Center, Mullins has an expansive view on how the state leverages its historical strengths in textiles to meet modern defense needs with the help of the MEP and driven by long-time and new manufacturing outfits. Mullins stresses the importance of a strong communication strategy to ensure small manufacturers are aware of the resources available to aid their growth and sustainability, and on the host of warm potential partnerships across academia, workforce ,state and local government and more to build a resilient manufacturing ecosystem capable of responding to national needs. To Mullins, a former Marine and retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, adaptability and responsiveness are key qualities of an effective manufacturing ecosystem to deliver value to its manufacturers.

Money is Not Your Goal, It's a Tool We have Jason Kogok on today's show teaching us how to use money as a tool with more efficiency. With high interest rates, you may want to re-think your rental portfolio. Jason goes into detail on the best way to diversify your properties based on your relationship with the stock market. This a great listen from an outstanding educator! Jason started his real estate career over two decades ago as a real estate sales broker and since then has grown his real estate team to the top ranks in North Carolina. He also manages his own real estate portfolio and has had tremendous success with building his rental portfolio (long & short-term rentals), along with 'fix and flip' properties along the way. In addition to real estate, Jason has a passion for teaching, so he combined his extensive real estate and investing knowledge to pursue another chapter in his career. Jason teaches and mentors real estate brokers, novice & intermediate investors, as well as works alongside large individual investors to help scale their portfolios. He teaches at Wake Tech and hosts seminars at NCSU, wrote a book on investing and teaches CE approved courses for NCREC. If it has to do with Real Estate Investing, Jason is in it!

Ernie Myers, NCSU women’s basketball PxP and former player, on how the women have been looking in the NCAA tournament; and the excitement of both teams being in the Final Four. Which player took her game to another level to help this women’s team make it to where they’re at so far? What will this be like in Cleveland against South Carolina for the women’s Wolfpack team? It took a FAN to bring it to the officials attention about some court issues, so how does this even happen? Is there something that reminds Ernie of this team?

I enjoyed my chat with Dr Caren Cooper so much we are bringing it back. Dr. Caren Cooper is part of NCSU's Leadership in Public Science Program and the F&W Conservation Biology Program. She is passionate about the social side of science, getting people involved in a variety of ways, and looking at what it means for laypersons to participate in science.

Adam Smith, Inside Carolina, on their season thus far and what their ceiling could potentially be going into the NCAA tournament. It feels like it’s been an atypical basketball team for Adam Gold, when looking at UNC this season. Does Adam Smith agree? Things were getting a little heated on the court during UNC’s game vs NC State last Saturday. Is this their new approach this season, in addition to the other quirks they’ve shown this season? Which former player is thrown out as a comparison to a current player, and do you agree with this comparison?
Alec Lower, Trinity Road Times, on the loss for NCSU vs FSU. What was the biggest failure for NC State last night against Florida State in basketball? What’s his read on where Kevin Keatts is and whether he’s potentially in trouble? What does Alec use as a gauge and what has he seen? How has he done managing DJ Horne and what’s Alec’s assessment of Horne? Are they playing at their ceiling?

Dr. Ralph Dewey is the Philip Morris Professor of Crop and Soil Sciences and Adjunct Professor of Plant and Microbial Biology at North Carolina State University (NCSU). Ralph uses the tools of molecular biology to identify and characterize genes of agronomic importance in crop species. When possible, he and his team alter those genes in ways that add value to the crop above and beyond what can be attained with traditional breeding approaches. Ralph and his team have done important work on the genetics of tobacco plants to decrease the hazards of smoking for people who still smoke. When Ralph has free time, he enjoys hanging out with his wife at their nearby beach condo and also watching college sports (particularly football and basketball). In addition, Ralph is working on writing his first novel. He was awarded his B.S. degree in biology from Utah State University, followed by his M.S. and Ph.D. in Crop Science from North Carolina State University. Afterwards, Ralph received an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Plant Biology to conduct postdoctoral research at the Waksman Institute at Rutgers University.
