We had the pleasure of interviewing J French over Zoom video!Dallas, TX based Oklahoma City born rapper, multi-instrumentalist, and producer J French released the music video for his single “MERCI”, off his recently released sixth album All Love that came out on April 14, 2023. This new music video for “MERCI” follows the successful release of stand out single “BREAKFAST” off J French's previous album Good Karma and which has seen placements in videos with major brands, including the UFC, NBA, Footlocker, Dallas Cowboys and most recently Jake Paul's highly anticipated return to YouTube that boasts more than 1.1 Million views to date. Following the success of “BREAKFAST,” J French is releasing the music video for “MERCI” with hopes to replicate his previous success, as he gets ready to release more music videos from All Love throughout the year. When asked about his new music video for “MERCI”, J French said, “This video is a depiction of my real life and what I was doing when I was coming up with the song, and how one creative idea leads to another. And how art is the evidence of GOD or our highest level of existence. Through Art you can actually learn yourself. Also I'm drawing a picture of an artist ‘Jean-Michel Basquiat'.”J French is a renowned rapper, multi-instrumentalist, producer, fashion designer, mental health advocate and public speaker from Oklahoma City. The son of four-time Grammy-winning percussionist and vocalist Brother Num, J French received formal percussion training from his father early on. He eventually went on to master the cornet, piano, xylophone, violin, and cello by middle school. French's first rap was written to Devin The Dude's "Don't Wait" at age 12. As he wrote more rhymes and performed them aloud, French quickly discovered that rap was the perfect remedy for his severe speech impediment (a stuttering problem that prevented French from speaking in public between the age of 7 and 10). To date J French has released 6 studio albums including Jaguar Jesus, OBG, OBG 1.5, JAGG, Good Karma and his latest album All Love. Now, with over 50 million streams across streaming platforms, J French has successfully garnered a strong following that spans across the US and UK. J French has worked with Grammy Award-winning producer Jah Born (of Erykah Badu's official band RC & The Gritz), Yella Beezy, and more, and already has some exciting collaborations in the work for his next release. Stay tuned to J French's socials below for updates on future music video releases off All Love, as well as new music and tour dates from this talented artist.We want to hear from you!

There are only two reasons, one of two or both reasons why you are suffering or have suffered for a long time. Number one, you're dealing with an uninformed doctor that does not know how to test, assess, and treat you to help you. Number two, and this is harsh one, it's the worst one. You're uninformed. You don't know about your disease, and I didn't either. And that's why I suffered for two years in my life. And that's why you've suffered for 10 or 20. It can end quickly. You have to learn it.Lesley Logan 0:18 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.All right loves, I'm going to keep this intro short and quick because our episode is full of information to support you and your thyroid. I have Elle Russ back you guys loved her we got so much love from her Confident podcast and we had mentioned that she is an amazing thyroid expert, she has a book, she has of course, she has all these things and so today's a whole episode is to support you. If you have felt like you were unseen, unheard, when it comes to your thyroid, maybe you're on thyroid medication and you still don't feel optimal. So you're not crazy. You are not, you are absolutely somebody who is looking for information and unfortunately not all of your doctors are as informed, So, this episode is here to arm you with the tools you need, the evidence you might need to go into the doctor or provider that you have to support you on your journey and also all the free and amazing tools that Elle has, she's got a book, she's got a course, and she's got free tools and all that is at the end, so take a listen and let me know how this goes in your body and in your life. Tag the Be It pod and until next time, Be It Till You See It.All right be it babe, I'm so excited. We actually have a guest back. We had so much love we had so much love pour in for this woman that and at the end of the episode we are gotten into thyroid, we like, didn't have time to get to that. So we had to bring her back to talk about thyroid as I'm in hypothet, all the things she's the expert in it. So she's gonna use all the right words. But Elle Russ will you tell everyone who you are in case is their first time hearing your name on the show? And what you're rockin at?Elle Russ 2:19 Yeah, hey, so Well, I'm rocking out a couple of things, life in general. My name is Elle Ross and I am a number one best selling author. The first book I wrote is called the Paleo Thyroid Solution. And I've been coaching people all over the world for over a decade and solving thyroid issues. And I also have a really in depth course on it, a free masterclass, which we'll get into later. And then my second book is competent as F U. C. K. And so that's why you know, you swear, but whatever, just Yes. And so we talked about confidence and stuff last time, which is great. And something I know you are just such a firecracker inspiration on that side of things too, for people. And then I have more books and more courses coming out. It's like, you know, endless amounts of, you know, wonderful things. But that's how I got into it because I suffered and no one could help me and I live in Los Angeles and I went over two dozen endocrinologist and experts and nobody helped me, they misdiagnosed me and they steered me wrong. And so I had to become an on thyroid expert. By the way, I have a philosophy degree. Okay, so you're talking to someone here who hates math and science. If you ask me what 15% of 70 bucks is I'm like, I don't know, someone get a calculator. I don't like it. I was horrible at in school teachers would be like, Oh, you'll you'll be sweeping floors at a amusement park if you don't get math, science, right. And then I write a best selling book on science. So everyone can eff off from grade school on that one, all the teachers. But but but the truth is, is that you don't you don't need to be an MD and have organic chemistry salt problem solvability you know, abilities. And you don't have to, like take the you know, MCAT to be able to understand on a theoretical level how this works. This is actually quite easy. But it's confusing at first. And there's so much misinformation out there. So 200 million people in the world have this 2 million plus people 25 million. Yeah, well, it's gets worse. 25 million plus Americans have it. It used to be like 10 years ago, it was the number one prescription in America. Now the number one prescriptions in America are all based on autoimmune disorders, not a shocker. And so and 60% are undiagnosed. So it's like there's so many more people suffering. Now there's the other situation. And this might be some people listening, you're on thyroid hormone replacement, but you never felt great. And you will feel right, you can be hypothyroid on thyroid hormone replacement, it means that you are not on the correct amounts or dosages, etc. And I'm going to say one more thing here, which is this, I'll just go on or I don't want to lecture the whole time, but the thyroid which is your gland right here in your neck, if you're a man it's below your Adam's apple is a butterfly shaped gland and it is responsible for everything okay? It's the master gland for a reason. It's responsible for the production and regulation of all of your sex hormones. So, you're 30, hormones are off, and your doctor is like, oh, we need to give you progesterone, you have estrogen dominance, bla bla bla - check the fucking thyroid? Okay, that was my first symptom. I started bleeding all the time at age 30. I have perfect gynecological history in my own life and also in all the women in my life, like my family. Yeah. Okay. No one asked the question. Why is she bleeding every two weeks? At 30 years old? They gave me a birth control pill to patch the symptom of the thing they didn't find the root of. So you have to always check the thyroid. So not only production and regulation of all your sex hormones, which is everything right? Your heart rate high. Yeah, that's everything, your blood pressure and your body temperature. And so you know, these things are all very important, right? to regulate who we are. We're not too hot, not too cold. Or too hot, let's say right. You're hyperthyroid. But the predominant issue was hypothyroidism, Graves disease and or hyperthyroidism the overactive is less common, okay? And it's just, it disproportionately affects women, we're talking one in eight women in their lifetime will have a thyroid issue.Lesley Logan 6:02 This isn't safe to say, because I have had many people tell me, they're getting their thyroid removed. And I'm like, That can't be like, that's a big decision. I feel like that's a big decision to remove it.Elle Russ 6:14 You want to keep the gland if you can, so the times that it's okay, so here's the thing, the times that it is, and people with thyroid cancer would hate that I say this because people with thyroid cancer because they're always told, Oh, it's the best cancer to have. If you catch it, you just take off the gland, right? If it spreads too short, but you catch it soon enough. And they're always like, I'm tired of hearing that it's the best cancer but technically, it really is. So in the case of thyroid cancer, they just removed the gland, which, which then makes you hypothyroid. And now you have to go on thyroid hormone replacement. The other thing that they do, sometimes they'll remove half a thyroid. Yep. Okay, that's probably going to need some help, too. Yeah. All right. And then you also have a situation where people who had uncontrollable hyperthyroidism, okay, which can lead to heart attacks. And if it can't be controlled through meds, or diet or other things, eventually what they do is they go, you know, what, we have to basically blast your thyroid with radioactive iodine to kind of kill it, again, making you hypothyroid, much safer, okay. But now you are also in my world, now you're gonna have to be on thyroid hormone replacement for the rest of your life. And you have to be, so if you have your thyroid removed, and let's say you're on a so because it's the master gland in control of all of these things, all right? if you're on an Australian Island, and you don't have a thyroid gland, you don't have your medication, you're going to be the first one to die.Lesley Logan 7:28 This is so crazy. This is so because...Elle Russ 7:31 So what do you think life's gonna be like? if you have subpar, or you know, really bad levels of thyroid, it's a slow death. And that's what it feels like, it's accelerated glycation and aging, it's horrible. And then then you have all these things that happen. And Doctor is like, Oh, you got depression (...). And they're trying to patch this stuff. And so here's the thing, it's not just the master for these hormones and the hormone problem, and they do the wrong thing. Now you're depressed, they go, Well, it's not your thyroid, because we're not testing earaches, I don't know what's up. And then you go to the therapist, and they're gonna give you Prozac, it'll last for three months, and then it will work because you never got to the root of the problem. We have more receptors in our brain for the biologically active hormone than anywhere else, you can treat depression, I have been coaching for 10 years, when anyone starts to get better, because they're getting more levels of T three, the active hormone, they'll call me and be like, this should make you happy. And I'm like, yeah, it does. Because you cannot access happiness. When you are hypothyroid. Literally cannot, it does, you, it would mean nothing to say to someone like well try to think of a happy thought. You can't do it. So again, have you gone to a psych I've asked, I asked the head of a LA psychiatric hospital. Hey, dude, before you pit people on, you know, SSRIs and medication, do you check their thyroid? They don't.Lesley Logan 8:42 This is and this is I mean, this is definitely something like I for sure, in the States, it's like, oh, you have these symptoms, let's fix this problem. But they're not looking at the root of the problem and going higher up the chain. It's, it's kind of like, you know, when someone who wasn't able to class and the person was saying that their shoulder hurt and the in the front, and the yoga teacher said the problem is in the back and off and he's like, look, the problem that is causing the where the pain is, is not where the problem is, the pain is just like, Hello, you're not listened to me for a long time. And so now I'm down here, but the problem is further down the chain or up the chain and we tend to focus on No, My knee hurts I go the knee doctor, I'm bleeding too much. So I go to the gynecologist and we it's unfortunate that the medical world is so siloed because it would be nice if somebody knew it all.Elle Russ 9:31 Really you have to find like a DEA or a functional medicine doctor that takes insurance and if not, you have to go above and beyond and pay for it. If you go to your regular insurance Doctor down the street, you're looking for a prescription or surgery. They don't really have anything for you. They have 10 minutes. They're dictated by insurance companies. They practice medicine under the guise of saving money for everyone else and also the fear of getting sued. When you have your own practice as a doctor you don't operate that way. You don't, I mean, you you're like I don't I'm not beholden to anybody and I don't have to worry about like, right? So, um, so we know...Lesley Logan 10:03 Real quick, just in case anybody is like, do I, how do I know if I've had if I'm hypothyroid? Like what are just like signs symptoms? Elle Russ 10:09 Sure. So I'll give the test that you can take, you know, and also have a free thyroid masterclass which has all this stuff in there. Okay, so the main symptom, all right, like one of the main symptoms, there is that there's like a, there's like 30/40 that I listed my book and I had 30 of them, okay, like,(...) exactly. Real long list. But it would start with, you're exhausted and you have the inability to lose weight no matter what you do. Now, for the people that don't have the weight issue. It's going to be exhaustion, brain fog, and you will have issues like constipation, gut digestion, you will be freezing. What do I mean by this? Look, your hands and feet are always cool, you know, usually, right? Like, I'm not saying you need to have hot hands and feet, but even for the person that's always freezing all the time. And here's the thing. My hands and feet are cold right now. I'm not cold inside. If I took my temp, it's fine. You feel the chill. You're freezing all the time. So for example, when I was hypothyroid, my body never got above 96 frickin degrees. In the middle of summer I was wearing socks to bed I was freezing. 96 degrees. Were supposed to be 98.6 at in like three in the afternoon. Okay, the morning it's different. We're supposed to be maybe between 97.7 and 98.2. I was never above 96. So you're freezing all the time. And it's diagnostically you can tell you just (...). So you're freezing all the time, dry cracked skin, hair falling out, losing the outer eyebrows, curly hair, turning straight, just clumps of hair falling out. This is one of the biggest things everyone notices, horrible constipation that no amount of coffee colonics and laxatives will help you with. That's a horrible, frustrating symptom. I'm just going to tell you that right now. Because I did, I tried all those things and nothing. Meanwhile, you just keep getting fatter and fatter, more bloated and more bloated. And so the brain fog part is the only way I can describe it. And it's the easiest way to describe it. Everyone in the world has had a head cold, right? You know, when you're blowing? You're like, where's it all coming from? How is it all day long, right? That day, when you're just like staring in space. Nothing's fun. Nothing's interesting. Brain not working. No, you don't want to watch a movie. That's brain fog. Except you don't have the stuffiness and how horrible is that, everyone knows how that feels, even you know how that feels, Lesley. You've been there, that day, that moment, you're just like, brain dead, your, your frickin brain dead. That's like 24/7 The other thing too, is that it takes you like two three hours to get out of bed. You know, I mean, you have almost no cortisol because when you have no, your adrenals will ultimately fail. And because people go undiagnosed for so long, they get really bad. Usually people don't catch and fix it when they feel the cold, right? If you were able to catch it right there or on the first couple of symptoms are caught up and exhausted for, then great, but it goes on. And as it goes on. Your body's, like, this bitch needs energy. So the cortisol gets pumped out, you get fat around the middle, and now your adrenals are fatigued and you've got adrenal fatigue too. But the adrenals in order to produce cortisol need T three. Okay, so these things go hand in hand. Sometimes you have a doctor trying to treat the adrenal sore, and you're like, dude, let's get with the program here...(Lesley: and T three is the hormone that we're talking about, the thyroid hormone) it's just, it's the biologically active thyroid hormone. And I'm happy to get into the others because it's not something that you, it's not something you take necessarily directly, I do, but some people do a combination of T four and T three, but it's the act of hormone where T four is the storage hormone. It's the thing that it's like a slow release mechanism. It stores up and as you need it, it converts into the gasoline that you need. Right? So there are so many problems that can stem from this. Also infertility, miscarriages, so lots of people have had hysterectomy unnecessarily by the way, that's always a terrible call when the person is realized that they never needed to have a hysterectomy. And that is a Hashimoto success story in my course,Barbara. She had that happened her and she desperately had wanted kids back then she's now 57. She's over it. But these are hard days, man. My friend came home she had two miscarriages, she had an endocrinologist completely contesting the wrong test discounting her. She's getting fat, she's all these things are happening. And she's depressed. She's got two miscarriages and you know what? It was all a result of hypothyroidism. So if you can plan a pregnancy, you must, don't get like, don't head towards an unnecessary miscarriage you don't need to have. If you can't plan it, okay, then get on it right away. Because when you are pregnant, I have articles about this on my blog on my website, you've just typed in thyroid on the blog and the tunnel come up. But when you're pregnant, you now need more. Right? Because the demands of the fetus, you, everything else you might need more and more and more and then at the end you kind of taper off or you know, but you have to check it more often. So if you haven't checked your thyroid yet, you're having a great pregnancy you're probably fine. But you're probably also like, oh, no, my my OBG tested my thyroid and they're not doing it right. Because that's what I'm here to tell you. And they're not doing it right. So I'm this is one of the easiest quickest things to fix in life. Yet 99% of the doctors are uninformed. And they're steeped in 40 year old outdated protocols and taking tests that don't matter. And so, yeah, so that's where I started.Like, so if like, we know that, because I do, I help like, the listeners who've listened episodes before, like, I end up having to fly to LA to have my holistic doctor do my blood draw, because I tried twice to do it here. And like, they sent it in without spinning it and like it. Sorry, that's the job you do. Like that's literally your job. So sorry. It's like, like, you do two things. You draw the blood, you spare it. Two things of your job. Yeah. I don't understand. I could have like public figure to draw my own blood. I need the spinner. I could have learned in the amount of time that it took, right?Lesley Logan 15:45 So for sure, like I you know, it's, it is not, I experienced how inept people can be. If we are we're like, is this a test that we can get done ourselves? Like, can we order online?Elle Russ 15:59 Yes, you can depending on what state you're in. Okay, so some states don't allow you to test your own bloodwork. A lot of them are on the east coast, but you have to just check. So California, I can check my bloodwork anytime I want, you can go to privatemdlabs.com, you can go to directlabs.com. And they'll they always have like coupon code somewhere online. So just search for them because they often have a 15% off or something. And you could choose your own test that you want. But what I want to tell everyone, and again, this is all in the stuff that have for free on my website, but just if anyone's listening right now, whether you're on thyroid hormone right now, I need you to go back at some point after this, and you look at your labs, okay, and if your doctor never or doesn't currently, test what I'm about to tell you, unfortunately, you're dealing with an uninformed doctor. And you're gonna probably run into some issues if you're not already in the issues, or you're one of those people who keeps complaining to your doctor about depression. And then they're the Dum Dum that goes, Oh, well, yeah, you have a thyroid problem? No, because if you treated me right, and I was optimized, I wouldn't have the depression part of the problem, I wouldn't have any symptoms, zero, got it. So the whole point of getting optimized or treated on thyroid hormone replacement, by the way, you can do all this naturally, my book, The Paleo Thyroid Solution is all about him and fixes should first naturally if you can't, at least you've primed your body to receive the hormones that can be to metabolize properly. You know?Lesley Logan 17:12 I love this because it is I just want to highlight, you're saying this, because I do think a lot of like, Oh, I'm on, I'm on hyper thyroid medication. That's why I feel this way. It's like, well, actually, you're on hypo thyroid medication, because you need to be and you, you could be feeling like a person who's not on it, who has normal levels. That's what you're saying.Elle Russ 17:30 That is literally achievable for every single person who has any thyroid problem. That's amazing. They're all fixable, and they're all solvable. So when someone comes to me, and they go, I'm hopeless, I've been struggling for 10-20 years, I need to adequately tell your audience this right now. There are only two reasons, one of two or both reasons why you are suffering or have suffered for a long time. Number one, you're dealing with an uninformed doctor that does not know how to test, assess, and treat you to help you. Number two, and this is harsh one, it's the worst one. You're uninformed. You don't know about your disease, and I didn't either. And that's why I suffered for two years in my life. And that's why you've suffered for 10 or 20. It can end quickly. You have to learn it. I don't want to learn this shit live, or you can make it really goLesley Logan 18:19 Into philosophy. I wanted to talk about like why like why do people do what they do that way? Elle Russ 18:24 And I'm gonna became a copywriter. I was like, oh, no, like, I'm not a health person. I don't want to know, so you know what? I wouldn't be alive right now, if I didn't do this myself. Now, my story is that unfortunately, I had to doctor myself, actually didn't have a doctor to help me. I ordered my medication online from places like Cambodia. No, for real, like Thailand and other places. And I dosed myself. I actually did it myself. So I had and I had to do it twice in 10 years because I ran into a second thyroid problem, which probably in hindsight, makes it great because I'm one of only two authors or three people in the world really like to do this that have ever been had that problem and know how to treat it. It's called the reverse T three issue. So I had to hypothyroidism issues in 10 years and both times I was left in the dust yo, I remember I was in LA, I go to, I went to this doctor who literally is currently the doctor for every, so many famous celebrities. I can't even, I won't mention him. Crazy time celebrities that you all would be like, Oh my god. Well, of course I would go to so and so's doctor. Okay, that doctor. I was having the second problem. I learned what it is. I explained it, showed the evidence and I took off my clothes in front of her, now at this time I had gotten so fat again on thyroid hormone replacement, but so hypothetic. I had gotten so fat again, that my bra looked like something Playboy Bunny would wear where it's just like the tiny triangle on it. That's how fat I had gotten that like the bra, and I said, Look at me, like look at me, and I did it. And she literally this doctor I'm telling you about who's like famous has like, threw up her hands and she said, Oh, it's too complicated. What? And you know, it almost makes me want to cry because how and I said to her this and that this is what I did say to her, I was so pissed. I said, So medical school wasn't complicated. So doing organic chemistry, like problems on the MCAT, what, medical school, this is complicated, not even willing to go find search help, nothing.Lesley Logan 20:28 that's so inferior, I do want to cry for you like that's, we've had several episodes about advocating for yourself in the health care industry, because and the reason we're talking about this is like, you can have all the goals in the fucking world. You couldn't listen to ELS confidence episode, like, Yes, I got it. This is what I know I want but if your hormones are off, if your thyroid is not working optimally, it doesn't matter.Elle Russ 20:53 It doesn't and your brain is not right. And your emotions aren't right. And nothing's gonna be right. Yeah, can't you can't do life right. And so what happens is, is so and I have a chapter in my book, and even a module in my course about loved ones. This is what's really tough because of all the diagnosis because of the people not being mistreated. So even the ones that are hypo still on medication. You know, they've got a spouse who's like, this is not who I'm married. You know, you're you're a downer, you're a Debbie Downer party pooper, you got promises, you got adrenal issues, like sensitive delights, sounds and smells, you're overwhelmed. I mean, you have no energy, you have no zest for life, you've given up on half the shit you thought was kind of fun, and you wanted to go for in life, this is how it goes. Also, I want to mention one of the symptoms, you can have some cognitive decline that seems scary and something you don't want to voice. So I want to say it now, you will have the thought that you feel you're getting dumber, and it is a horrible feeling. Because technically you are, it's happening, you'll have handwriting that you can't, it's so messy, you'll have brain to hand dexterity. Normally, like I'm an athlete, I'm really coordinated. I was dropping water bumping into things constantly. Okay? Because again, we have more receptors in our brain than anywhere else, these things are all motor skills, all the things. So you know, it's a really scary thing. It's not just the depression, it's the forgetting words, it's the not being able to retain a paragraph after you've read it. Someone has said something to you, I just interviewed. Recently, I put out an extra module in my course with CJ Hunt. He's about seventy years old, but he's a filmmaker of The Perfect Human Diet and the book, and I helped him with his thyroid problem. And he describes it as like, you know, it's just so tough, because every year inside and you don't even you can't even like check an email. You just so overwhelmed. So you have this malaise where you know, you need to help yourself, but you're also kind of having problems and the people around you're like, you've gone to 500 doctors and you know, yeah, no, I, I had a friend this does turn me up. I have a friend who still really good friend now. But when they lived here, we were best friends. And they called me up after this all happened and everything got over it and figured it out. They called me up and they were crying, a guy. And he was like, Oh, I'm so sorry. Because I was so resenting you and mad at you that you were such a party pooper. He never wanted to go out. He didn't want to hang out and do stuff. And like all that shit. And I just like lost it. Because you know what, that's what it is for people. That's how it goes down. People around you don't understand. And you're trying to go into everyone, and then that's what happens. And then people lose their jobs, or they quit. I had someone who's a success story about books, she quit her jobs in accounting, she couldn't remember numbers anymore. You're gonna get fired. You know, a fellow author Paul Robinson, who wrote a book called recovering with T three, he also helped me save my own life. He to this day, he lost like 20 years of his life, he actually was given the wrong hormone the entire time. And he lost his family. He lost his job. He couldn't work. He was debilitated. And then he fixed it, of course, and it wrote a book. He's helping people, but it ruined the relationship with his sons and you can start to help to this day when he talks about it that it is so hard for him. Yeah, it's like it's a well, so it ruins lives. This shit ruins lives, because of all of these things. And I've coached lots of families. And sometimes if you're in this situation, you might need a friend to kind of like who is better brain to help you understand but the way that I explained everything in the course and in general my masterclasses, again if if you kept it on repeat, even with a hypo brain, you're gonna get it.Lesley Logan 24:20 Yeah. Well, It's so tough. And like, you know, when I have my stomach issues, like I, you get to the point where like, you can't have gluten, dairy, soy, alcohol, oils, all these things, you know, gosh, oh, my goodness, when they try them out of SIBO diet. I was like, Well, this is there's nothing fun. This is like even worse, what am I supposed to show up and eat? And you start to feel like you start to withdraw because you're like, I'm not the fun person. Nobody knows where to eat because I can't eat there. She can't eat here. We can't go here and it just becomes like, you just start to feel like well, I'm just not going to go out because I don't wanna be that person. And so then you don't know who you really are. You feel more and more alone and It is awful, if you if you're lucky to have a partner who's willing to like, go to the mattresses all the time, that's fine. But if you have kids, if you have a stressful job, if the partner that you have the best friends, you have other things going on, it's like this still and 20 years. That's a long time, I was very lucky that I found someone in seven years to help me with mine. But like, even then that's so much time that we can lose. And it's unfortunate because for whatever reason? Well, for many reasons, I think we're very all aware of the medical industry, especially in the states and my listeners who are in Australia and Canada and Europe. You know, you do you, let me know if I can get a passport.Elle Russ 25:38 But like, well, they actually have terrible thyroid care in England and other places. So it actually really it's like, yes, your healthcare is better.Lesley Logan 25:44 Yeah. So it's almost like the world is just like, not educated on what this is. And it's it sounds like the one place if they could go do that they could solve fertility, and they could solve depression. And not everybody guys don't don't come running at me. But like for a lot of people, we instead of putting band aids on things, we could actually create a solution for someone.Elle Russ 26:05 There's a I have x bribed for hours with the doctor and my course is a 30 hour course. Okay, I mean, this thing is, you know, like a semester in college and one of the modules is Palmer Kybella, who wrote a book called Beat Autoimmune, and she is about 55 years old or something like that right now. And she struggled for 20 years of her life, she got diagnosed with MS and 19. She felt like she was plugged into a light socket. 24 hours a day for like a year. Okay, horrible, horrible symptoms. She searched, she searched, dah, dah, dah, and got into some functional medicine stuff. She quit gluten. Within one week, her stomach issues went away. But then within a month, all of her MS Symptoms went away. She hasn't had one since. Okay, and they've even done brain scans on her where they you know, they could see like the scarring. And it actually, it's not even supposed to go away somewhere. Hers is even gone away. That's crazy. You can beat autoimmune. And you could beat thyroid autoimmune, which is Hashimotos. Absolutely. And part of that is diet. One of the things that we know with autoimmune diseases is gluten igniting antibodies, but particularly Hashimotos. But definitely the other ones too. So yes, we know it's possible to get to the root instead of putting someone I mean, you know, I know two people that have cured themselves rheumatoid arthritis through food. One of the most famous ones is Seamus Mullen, who wrote a book. He was a famous chef, and he is a famous chef in New York. He was on medications over 18 prescriptions for I interviewed him for like, God years, like, seven years or something like that, total, debilitated disaster, changes food changed his life, and he's on off all the medications and never and if you tested his blood, RA is gone. You test another friend of mine blood is also chef RA gone. But they both went to the doctor and the doctors go when they diagnose them and dealt with them all those years, those two people. The other one is Chef Courtney (...), they're both chefs. The doctor said, it is what it is, you're just gonna end up in a wheelchair. And one of them was in a wheelchair like they that's it. And I remember my friend going well, would you can you just test it? They're like, No, no, it's going to be positive, you have rheumatoid arthritis.Lesley Logan 28:11 That's not what's been fortunate. And this is where the advocacy for yourself comes in. And that's why I'm so excited that you have this course. Elle Russ 28:17 That's why patients write books, because our test is our testimony. Lesley Logan 28:20 Yes. And you have your book, but also like, so I hope this inspires people. And also, like, when we had Lindsay on, y'all can listen, we'll put the episode in the show notes about advocating for yourself, because she gives you tips on how to know, if you have the right doctor, like, your doctor should be doing the best they can. And that best might not be good enough for you. But they should also be willing to help you have another solution, whether it might be for them. And if they are not doing that you have to advocate and say thank you, I see that I've gone as far as I can with you, where else do you recommend that I go? Or if they're not going to give you that then you have to be your own advocate, you have to do the research to figure out who are the doctors that do this because, and I know this can sound really privileged. And all those things. It fucking sucks how much it would cost to be a healthy, healthy and air quotes person to be an optimally moving person, it should not be privileged to have health in this world, but you do have to do these things because it is your life. And as far as we know, we only get one time on this limit. Some people might say this is your third or fourth time but just valleys for right now. You know you I would hate for you to go 20 years failing in some way. Because those are yours you don't get back, you just don't.Elle Russ 29:30 And I'm gonna add to that because there's another thing on the advocacy, which is if you learn and you become knowledgeable about what you got going on, you might be able to make a doctor who's an uninformed one, practice medicine with you. This happens with all of my clients, they have tough doctors. I'll then be like, Look, I'll talk to him. I've had doctors call me and be like, I don't understand this and I'm like, You know what? Thank you for not being ego ridden and thinking maybe I might learn something from someone who's not an MD, right? So I love those doctors because they're willing to learn. But a lot of them is because they're gone back and then they're pushing. They're like, Hey, this is what I learned dah dah dah. And then the doctor is kind of like, I don't know, I guess it can hurt and they try it. So you have to be forceful, but there are certain times when you have to go, you're, you know, You're terrible. I'm out of here. But you know, listen, I mean, I've I've gotten into some pretty intense conversations with some doctors over the years. And one of them I was able to convince them she was the most indoctrinated, but I think it was just my persistence. And my probably confident, demanding, like, did it ah, that made her and she was scared because I caught her in something she didn't know. And so and I just want to tell the story. This is great. By the way, when I tell the story, you don't need to know anything about what the tests I'm mentioning mean, okay, you'll get the story. I asked a doctor, I was with a patient who worked for our company who didn't speak English very well. I knew she had a reverse T three problem. I sensed it. I just knew it. I'd go to the doctor with her. The endocrinologist was, didn't look at her didn't ask any questions how she was feeling. I said, Hey, I got a request for you. Can you please test this patient's reverse T three test. And the doctor said, we don't do that. That's old school. And I said, what's really interesting, because I just got over reverse T three problem myself. So it's pretty new school to me. All I'm asking you is to take a test. She said, Well fine, but I don't know how to evaluate it. And I said, Did you just patronize me for asking you about a test that you're now telling me you know nothing about? That's how this goes down. Lesley, you want the patient's bawling her eyes out? And she's like, Well, fine, I'll test it. Can you believe it took all of that for me to, you know, that is that's me calling him God, Lesley do not see the new Star Wars movie and you go I was bad. And I go I haven't seen it yet (...) You see how like you don't even know anything about the test? She goes, No, that's old school completely discounted because she's got too much ego to admit she might not know something. Okay? And then when I push her, she's like, Well, fine, but I don't know about it. Why? What are you? Yeah, I mean, by the way, by the way, the patient had a serious reverse T three problem, guys. And I could have bet a million bucks on it. Lesley Logan 32:14 Yeah, you know, this is where like, it used to be, it's still supposed to be called practicing medicine. And as Pilates instructor, we don't do perfect Pilates, we practice Pilates. And so like that, to me means that like, the doctors and affirming doctors who are listening doesn't mean I expect perfection. What I expect is that you are willing to practice and continue to learn because there's new information out all the time, we find out that things that we believed, decades ago that something is wrong. And so I don't believe and this is why my friend isn't, teaches people that patient advocacy. She also speaks to doctors and she says you are providers. Let's just change your name your providers and they're q1121112q1qqwq clients. And when our client, you have empowerment, you have choice, you have agency, and then you can work together in collaboration with the provider. And so as a provider, if you don't know an answer, it is actually to me, and I think too many people listening to go you know what, I don't know that. Let me do some research. Let me get back to you. Let me look into this. That is better than going you don't need that. And then to find out you don't actually even know how to evaluate it. That's like, you know, and that's not everybody, but that in that situation that you're talking about. It's an infuriating story that I think too many people probably can know someone or it happened to them. And it's either wayElle Russ 33:36 Yes, or because they don't know how to do their job and they're like your thyroid looks fine. I had a doctor do this to me. And by the way, the thing that I'm about to say has come out of people's mouths all over the world. This has been just workout more and eat less. I had a doctor tap my gym shoes and go just use these more. I said mofo I'm working out two hours a day, I went hiking for an hour every morning. By the way, shouldn't have been doing all that. Okay, shouldn't have. Now I know I'd be like, Oh man, dial it back, don't do anything get tested, right, do the things but I was trying to get ahead of this weekend, which by the way, none of that working out work. Two hours a day, like 1200 calories. I was doing all the stuff I went swimming, hiking and to the gym every freaking day. And I kept getting weight. And so to accuse me of not working out. But again, this is what happens and like (...) success story as well. She tall skinny, wrong endocrinologist the miscarriages, she starts getting fat and they're like, you just need to eat less. She's like I'm training for a marathon. I know what I'm doing. I've been tall and skinny my whole life like what do you talk..? So it's again, it's coming from an uninformed doctor who's like, well, I'm looking at labs in a way that is so outdated. So I'm saying you're fine. Meanwhile, you're telling me that you have hypo symptoms. Now it's the smart doctor that goes why does this keep happening? Like my doctor and the doctor on my book and in the course Dr. Foresman, who did say hey, there was a day when I screwed up people probably because we didn't know better and then you have clients keep coming in. They're complaining that they're not well and they're still on thyroid and he goes home Hmm, just like you said, He's curious. Still, he's still geeking out like doctors used to in medical school trying to figure out a problem. And he's like, right. But when you have 10 minutes with someone, and you're in a factory thing with an insurance company, you don't have the time for that. Now I did go to my, I have insurance, and I went to my local uninformed doc. You need to go in there. And yeah, here's the Pap smear. Here's the thing. Here's the mammogram, all that stuff. And I went into her with a list of tests from my functional medicine doctor, and I said, Hey, look, I don't want to offend you, I just want to let you know, I wrote a book about informed doctors. Like, here it is, gave her the book. And I said, Listen, I work with a functional medicine doctor that doesn't take insurance. Can I give you this list of tests? And would you mind taking it? You know, yeah. Now this is what I appreciate. She looked over the list for a few minutes. And she said, I'm happy to get these tests. And I just don't know what some of them are. But I'm happy to get them tested. Okay. That's a start admitting but here's the problem, Lesley. I would bet you a million dollars right now she did not after work, go and go, What are these lists of tests that some other MD is telling me to get that I don't know what they are? I went to medical school. Maybe I should look into that. I guarantee she didn't. I guarantee, I bet money on it. I know she didn't. Yeah. And that's the thing, right? Because she didn't have time either. Well, so when she's like, all fine, but she's not trying to investigate. Lesley Logan 36:19 And that's just it. Like, that's everybody. The problem is that we're all so busy, because we don't have time. And that and we treat people like they are in the factory, we treat the doctors like they can just like they could see that many patients like I don't even know how they I don't know how they could do that I would. So the people who've listened for a long time know that I still have yet to find an actual primary care doctor in Vegas. I'm just working with my amazing doctor out of California. And I do have a female doctor here that I actually like, who likes to learn and likes to teach. And she's the only person who could find my IUD, which had like, moved its way to the right side flipped upside down. Like she's the only pro it took me two years to get someone to fight to find it. So it was insane. It was I was like, look, it's in there.You're like I'm telling you, I can feel it.So it's in there. So anyways, I do appreciate her a lot. But when I went to primary care doctor, and I knew what tests I wanted to take, because I talked to my listing doctor. And so I was like, why wouldn't I have this primary care doctor call them in? Because they'll go through my insurance, right? The thing I pay so much money for. And she literally poo pooed every test I wanted. Every single test I said I want my hormones check, oh, those change all day long. I want it depends on the day of your cycle. I'm like, I still want them check. I want this checked. Oh, did it look fine. All these things. And I'm like, do you, like, are you paying for this? Or do I not understand who pays the bill here? And she was just like, well, I can order them. But they're not going to tell us anything. Well, guess what I posted doctor ordered them because she can. She's an MD. (...). They told me exactly what I was already feeling. They told me why I was feeling down and depressed. They found, they told me exactly why I felt like I was losing strength. And my holistic doctor was able to, thank goodness she an MD, to prescribe the peptides that I need to take. And we have to watch two numbers and to see how those change in the next three months beyond this stuff. And hopefully, they get better on their own. And if not, then we'll go do those things. But like, it's a little chicken, the egg thing there. However, it's just a little unfortunate that like, unfortunately, some people are just not going to listen to you and you just have to go okay, this is not the right doctor for me. She's just not you know, it's it's never gonna work. I'm never gonna trust her. And so I have to find a news writer. Elle Russ 38:33 Yeah, yeah. Or you have the insurance one and you run stuff through them and deal with someone else. You know, I mean, there's there's also, there's some really great doctors that do take insurance. But yeah, so listen, everyone just right here. I know, I didn't mention the list of tests. I just want to rattle off the six tests that everybody you know, you can go back and go, and I bet you they're going to be missing one or two. I'm gonna guarantee that right now. Alright, so here there are there are six tests. Two of them are antibody tests. So you know what if you've already ruled out that you don't have Hashimotos, then you don't need to take the extra two. But if you've never gotten tested for Hashimoto, you want to rule it out, because there are some other modalities and things you can do with Hashimotos that you wouldn't apply to someone like me who does not have Hashimotos. I just have hypothyroidism. I don't have the autoimmune form of hypothyroidism. So, TSH, free T three, free T four, reverse T three, that's the main four. Now that's due I have a thyroid problem however, you want to get two antibodies checked if you've never gotten them check. Now, some doctors if you say only to test my Hashimotos antibodies, they don't know that there's two of them they only test one you could be positive for one or not the other or both. So you gotta get both. The first one is called T P O antibody that stands for thyroid peroxidase antibody and the second one is tg antibody and that stands for thyroid globulin antibody okay. So TSH, free T three, free T four, reverse T three, the TPO antibody and the TG antibody that is, do I have a thyroid rpoblem? If you think you're hypo thyroid, okay, do I have a thyroid problem? Start there. Now, would I add other things like yeah, you're gonna get should probably get an iron panel. If you've been feeling hypo for a while, like, you can also take five days of basal and afternoon temperatures and not spend a dime, you can diagnostic diagnostically assess a thyroid problem from temperature. So what does that mean? That means you can look it up. But basically you have to when you do basal, you lay down, you don't even get up to pee in the morning, you don't sit up in bed, you reach over and you put the thermometer in your mouth. That's your basal temperature. Right when you wake up. So again, that's like you have to plan for that it because you're so used to get up and go to the bathroom or something, you know what I mean? So you just have to lay down, it's okay that you're on your covers, just reach over that your basal. That should be between 97.7 and about 98.2. Yeah, okay. Now, if you're hypothyroid, it's going to be lower than 97.7. If you were hyperthyroid, it would be like 98.2 or three, it would be really top over or be overkill.Lesley Logan 41:04 I think this is just fun just to do.Elle Russ 41:09 Yeah, and then, I'm talking about a schedule for people that normally would wake up between six and eight. So then, at that point, you would do a 330 ish, three 330, afternoon temp, this is when you're just sitting around, okay, so you have to figure out when this is but like when you just sit around, you didn't take a hot shower, you didn't eat you didn't rip up a flight of slabs or a smoke bomb hit like, okay, like whatever the don't do stuff just hang out. You can drink some water or whatever. But like for the most part, don't you just been doing nothing for 30 minutes, you're just sitting up? That's when you also take your time. It should be 98.6. If it's 98.4. Are you in a crisis? No, no. Okay, there's some fluctuations, hurray, 98, you know, but that's what you should be. Some people will never get above 98 Or even above 97 in the afternoon. So you could do like three, five days of this and go, now you still need to get the test. Because if you don't get the test, we won't know how to treat it in the right way. I guarantee out of the list that I just told you guys, your doctor said probably not tested reverse T three is the one that most doctors really don't know about. And it's one of the most critical tests. The other thing too is you will give this list. This happens all the time. And this is an advocacy thing. You will give the list to your doctor and go hey, do you mind like you heard my thing and you write down all the tests and you go, Hey, can you test these for me? And they go Sure. You go into the lab and then you see the results? And you're like where's this where's that? And they didn't test that instead of testing free T three they tested total T three or T three uptake instead of and they didn't just test the reverse T three in your life. But I asked them and they said, here's what happens guys. They, if they disagree with your list, they don't call you to tell you they disagree with you. They just go, You're a Dum Dum non doctor and I'm gonna do what I want. I don't think they need them. They don't, if I asked you, Lesley Hey, can you give me that favor? And you said yes. And then you didn't do it? And I go, why and you go I just disagreed with it. I go, Well, it would have been nice if you told me that. Yeah, before I expected you to do the thing. So you cannot trust that they even, so what do you do? You ask the phlebotomist, Hi, are these tests on this list? And if not, I just need to know, I don't want you to, I don't even put the rubber band around my arm. You know how many people have called me crying, is horrible. Cuz it's like gaslighting, Lesley. Yeah. Because you're like I asked them. They said yes. And then they didn't. Because just like that endocrinologist, they're like, they don't even know reverse T three. What do they know? And so this is something you have to do, because now you've got to go back in and get tested again. And who wants to have a needle in their arm ever? Lesley Logan 43:30 Like, it's such a hassle. Like, it's just such a hassle. Even if you have to be fast it's even worse. If you have to get there. It's because I'm like, Okay, I'll just get their first appointment. And then you're (...)Elle Russ 43:40 Your whole your whole morning screwed, like, the whole thing, right? So that happens all the time. So please check that list. Because I guarantee you, they're gonna go, yeah, like, laugh at you about it. This happens, by the way, with everything. Let's say you're starting to date someone you're like, Alright, we're gonna start to do this, and we're talking about it. And maybe we're gonna get sexy together. And let's get tested and make sure everything's cool. And you call your doctor and you're like, hey, I need an STD pouch, or like, I want an STDs test. Like, if you ask them for a list of tests, you're like, oh, here, I want all these tests. They'll just test like two of them. They go, Oh, you don't need HPV for that because or you don't need this for that like for herpes because if you've never had it, then it's not like that. You're like what? Like, they just don't. And that has happened to people that I know who've gone in there and they're like, I just wanted to like, get a simple, my doctor said it was fine. They go in there and only took like 2 of the 10 that was requested because they, that is so crazy making to me if that happened in my everyday life. I would not talk to people, continue to talk to people who operate it like this. Yeah, it's lying to you. And it's gaslighting and it's also just so that's a real painful thing too. And now you are a couple of weeks behind on getting better because (...)Lesley Logan 43:40 I remember I was crying in the kitchen when I found out that they didn't spin the blood, I was like just crying and then I, so that I went to different locations, the same company, because that's the company that's in town to different location, because that's like, well, obviously that locations no one's doing. The second location was like, Oh, we don't do the kits, because I brought a kit that you have to ship, brought the kit and like we don't do the kits on Fridays. I'm like, it doesn't say that on your website. I'm so sorry. Like, it doesn't say they do it. They better have done it. I said, Well, I said, I said, I'm here because you already have screwed up before. So I'm here. I said, Well, I was going to tell you that we could do it, but you have to ship it yourself. And I said, Okay, sure. I'm like, Well, okay, we can figure that out. But like, will you spin the blood? And she said, Oh, well if you want it spun, I will literally took everything in me. I've swear to God, it's 7am I haven't fucking eaten anything. Right? I haven't eaten since the night before. I love breakfast. I love my coffee. I love my ag one. I love it all. She goes if you want us to spin it, and it'd be another hour and I was like, I seriously you. I cannot tell you. You all terror like I'm done. I'm done with life. I'm so dumb. I like I'm believing. I'm like you are incompetent. And I hope I never have to come to this place ever again. Because I can not trust any work that you do. And I said it loud enough. I'm like, I'm sure I sound crazy. These people on the waiting room. But like they need to know that this place doesn't know what it's doing. And so I flew, I use points, everyone I use points to fly to LA, use points to get a hotel, booked myself stay, a nightmare total for blood tests. I mean, I mean, like, you know, so I'm sure I'm sure my Vegas listeners but like, let's just go to this person, please send me your favorite doctors, I will happily go to them. It's I'm sure there's other great places. But like, I'm a little shocked. And also not. And I and I and I don't want to be a Debbie Downer on all of the doctors who may listen. Hi, thank you for listening. But I do hope that every single person is like, let's, what if we were all curious. I'm curious on my Pilates practice. I'm curious about learning. I'm sure. I'm also sure doctors want to be curious. And also they're fucking tired. So I feel like it's there's a there's a problem from the top of squeezing all of us. And and unfortunately, the people who lose are the clients, are the patients. And that's, you know, so I feel more badly for the clients in this case, but I do understand that like it is a issue that we all are dealing with. And in some ways, some people are doing better. And I'm so grateful for you Elle, so you have you actually have an amazing course that you mentioned.I do want to quickly tell everyone that I had done plies many years ago, then you interviewed me and I got so inspired to do Pilates. And I manifested the most awesome situation. I had done Pilates near me and I knew what was available. So I was like, alright, well, I'll go check back into those places again, and see if I want to go back to same place or whatever. Turns out a new Pilates studio had just opened seven weeks prior. It's in the perfect location. It's the exact kind of thing I want. Their pricing payment structure was like so great, not some bullshit that they replaced it and all this stuff. So I started doing it like you know, a couple of weeks out I reached out to and I was like, oh my god, I love it so much. I can't even stand it. Oh my god, wait to have one of those machines. It is so much fun. So I am, thank you for inspiring me, really inspiring me. And then when I looked for it, and then very shortly after that their monthly unlimited. She's like, hey, Valentine's Day special, like 60% off our monthly unlimited. I was like, Oh yeah, we're doing that. So I did. Like I'm just gonna do it for now for a while and just here it goes but so so much fun. And I I love it. So thank you.Elle Russ 47:28 Oh, you like my pleasure. I'm on a mission for more wise do Pilates. So that makes me so happy. And I love to do it in person and it's close like, and that you're going as often as you are because that's like, that's where you fill out the good stuff. I mean, just Yeah. Yesterday, I was like in a bad mood because I couldn't get on my session with my teacher. And I and I that was not that was technology's fault. So I went and did my own session and I had so much fun and I felt a much better mood afterwards. I was like, This is why Pilates exists. So you can just feel better when you're done.Absolutely. Yeah, I love it so much. It's so good and especially you know, like I'm in my late 40s, like this is yeah, yeah, you don't take care of this stuff. Now the flexibility and all the different stuff like it's a forced way to get the stretching the core that everything is you know, it's just anyway it feels so good. I say thank you so much. But yes, I do want to do is I have everyone can get 15% off of my thyroid course if you really need to dive into this by using the code Lesley at checkout just Lesley's first name the way she spells it. L E S L E Y. Yeah, that'll get you 15% off, you can go to the, you can just go to ultimatethyroidcourse.com and check that out. Now here's the thing when you go to ultimatethyroidcourse.com There is juicy stuff on that page that might help you solve your problem without even taking my course guys. Okay, like not kidding. There are some testimonials or doctor clips there's there's some things that might spawned something for you to go. You never know I've had people hear interviews with me and be like I heard you I went did this did that fixed it. Thank you. I'm like great. (...) everyone wants to sell books and stuff and products, but we're, and I know you if there was someone struggling, you would help them recover with Pilates probably out of the kindness of your heart because whatever, right you just want, like, I just want people to be better. Yeah. So, so yeah, so that was, anyway, you can just go down the page all the testimonials, audio clips, etc. Then I also have a free thyroid masterclass, as well, I still want to go to the ultimate thyroid course page because there's great, you know, audio clips on there. But you can just go to freethyroidmasterclass.com. And that is a two hour video of me explaining the thyroid, all the hormones, everything, all this stuff. And it involves a free thyroid guide that also includes

It's been a few weeks since the boys got together to talk about anything, Magic has been busy with his shows and entertaining people with his, err Magic. OBG has been busy setting up his brand and website over the past few weeks, and Cartoon has been taking some down time to focus on his community and recovering from the Nola trip, so it's a great chance to hear what's been going on. Unfortunately Magic dad broke his leg and Magic went out for a while to pick him up from the Hospital so Toon and OBG fielded the questions from their respective discords, covering things from their bucket list, through to the last item of clothing they bought and why... and why they don't buy clothes so often nowadays. This alongside the usual shit talking and banter across continents, you''ll love the chatter.

Branko é o convidado desta semana do Posto Emissor, o podcast da BLITZ. O fundador dos Buraka Som Sistema, cujo verdadeiro nome é João Barbosa, fala-nos sobre o terceiro álbum de estúdio, “OBG” (lê-se obrigado), que chega esta sexta-feira e é encarado por si como um disco de agradecimento ao público que o acompanhou ao longo dos anos. A música que ouvia, e os concertos que viu, quando era mais novo, a importância de ter artistas portugueses em lugares de destaque nos festivais de verão, as ideias preconcebidas que o público tem do trabalho dos DJs e, inevitavelmente, a possibilidade de os Buraka Som Sistema regressarem aos palcos foram outros assuntos abordados na conversa com Branko.

Lolita, obra do escritor russo Vladimir Nabokov é daquelas que mesmo sem você ter lido, sabe do que se trata. Ela trouxe para a conversa cotidiana a palavra ninfeta, não é que ela não existisse, mas passa a representar as jovens adolescentes até 14 anos que enfeitiçam marmanjos com mais de 40. A palavra Lolita passa a ser também um adjetivo que qualifica essas meninas. Mas o que lemos em todo o romance são as atividades de um pedófilo, nos arranjos para chegar a sua presa. Nas mãos de um escritor menor, Lolita seria apenas um livro de apelo sexual, não é à toa que foi lançado na França pela editora Olympia Press conhecida por publicar uma mistura de ficção erótica, e ficção literária de vanguarda, isso depois de ter sido recusado por todas as editoras nos Estados Unidos. Mas é aí que entra a genialidade de Nabokov, que muitos o colocam no Olimpo da literatura russa, ao lado de Dostoiévski, Tolstói e Tchekhóv, que vai nos revelando sua trama, e nos convencendo se não a perdoar seu personagem: Humbert Humbert, pelo menos, a escutá-lo, porque o romance é um relato genialmente escrito em nome do personagem, que da prisão escreve para seus julgadores, que em último analise somos nós, os leitores. Se você gosta de nosso podcast não esqueça de curtir o episódio e compartilhar com os amigos. Obg!
En Français For many countries across Africa, agriculture remains one of the most important sectors of the economy. Agriculture accounts for 14% of total GDP in sub-Saharan Africa, and a majority of the continent's population is employed in the sector. In addition, export crops such as coffee, tobacco, oranges, fruit and cotton are important sources of foreign exchange for every country on the continent. While Africa's population is projected to more than double by 2050, agriculture is more than ever, essential for the future of the continent, but also of the whole world. Oxford Business Group launched its latest Focus Report: Agriculture in Africa 2021, in collaboration with OCP Group, that analyses the opportunities and challenges for the agricultural sector and different key aspects such as fostering an agri-tech ecosystem, empowering farmers, promoting entrepreneurship and the use of fertilisers. In this context, we had the pleasure to talk to Mohamed Anouar Jamali, CEO of OCP Africa on some of these topics and gather his thoughts on what the future holds for the sector. Mr. Jamali, who holds a PhD in Supply Chain Management from University of Laval, shared his views on the current state of the agriculture sector in Africa, namely on promoting sustainability to fight climate change, boosting innovation, entrepreneurship and the use technology as a growth driver, as well as on the opportunities brought by the Covid-19 pandemic to strengthen the value chain in the continent. To find more about this conversation, watch our latest vidcast. See below the English translation of the audio: BERNARDO BRUZZONE: Hello, welcome to OBG talks. My name is Bernardo Bruzzone, and I'm Africa's Regional Editor at Oxford Business Group. Thank you for joining. Today we'll be discussing with Mohammad Anwar Jamali, CEO of OCP Africa, some of the key takeaways of our recently published Focus Report: Agriculture in Africa 2021, made in partnership with OCP Group. Welcome, Mr Jamali, it is a pleasure to have you with us in the framework of the launch of our most recent report. How do you envision a more sustainable and resilient agriculture sector in Africa to address the threat of climate change? MOHAMED ANOUAR JAMALI: Thank you for your invitation. First of all, I need to recall that agriculture is essential to growth and development in this continent. Climate change, if not addressed in time, could destabilise local markets, leading to higher volatility in African food crop yields, but which can in turn lead to volatility in prices, thus hindering the sector's development. In the face of climate change, greater resilience of African agriculture is required. To achieve this an improvement in the seed production systems is needed to be able to provide to African farmers with new seed varieties that are adapted to the new climate conditions. Also, agricultural techniques that are more adapted to the ecological conditions prevailing in the various regions must be chosen. These techniques must contribute to restoring, but also preserving the soil and optimising the use of water. Secondly, investments in irrigation are required to enable African farmers to maintain yields, even in periods when weather conditions are favourable. Finally, investments in logistics infrastructure to enable the storage of crops, to avoid losses, but also to develop a more balanced management by farmers of the stocks of their crops which are intended either for consumption or for sale on the markets. We're talking about investments in logistics infrastructure, but also investments in transport infrastructure, because the idea is to better connect farmers to the market, which would in turn help these same farmers to sell their products at fair prices. All of these improvements can build resilience to the harmful effects of potential climate change. Briefly, within the OCP Group and through our engineers and agronomists in the various countries where we operate, our approach is based first and foremost on research and development, which is carried out jointly with local universities, agronomic institutes and the competent authorities. This research aims to strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems and specifically, just to give an example, through the soil mapping that we carry out to assess the level of fertility of a given soil and as a result of this idea, we recommend fertiliser formulas that are adapted to ensure better efficiency of agricultural inputs, among others. This responds to a principle that is very dear to us within the OCP Group, namely a well-thought-out fertilisation that is adapted to the soil, to the crops, to the agricultural practices, but that is also adapted to the different climates. BRUZZONE: Very good, thank you very much. Africa is a continent that has a very young, dynamic and innovative population. According to you, how can governments and the private sector push for more innovation and entrepreneurship in the African agricultural sector in view of obtaining more value added? JAMALI: A firm commitment from our governments is needed to boost innovation and entrepreneurship in agriculture on our continent. Public authorities can act through several levers, if you allow me, I will mention three that in my opinion, are fundamental. Firstly, we need to further strengthen human capital at all levels of the agricultural innovation ecosystem. This requires massive investment in training and capacity building for all actors in the ecosystem. Furthermore, it is a question of developing human capital, but also of supporting the rich ecosystem of start-ups by encouraging the involvement of young people in incubators and accelerators. It is also a question of promoting the success stories of agricultural entrepreneurship, which is the only way, in my opinion, to encourage these young future African entrepreneurs. The second way to encourage innovation among farmers is to bring digital technologies to less-favoured regions, to ensure a greater impact. Today, unfortunately, digitalisation only concerns farmers who are part of more integrated value chains. To achieve equitable growth, these digital technologies need to be more inclusive. In this context, digital literacy programmes, training in digital technologies applied to agriculture, among others, should be implemented. The third pillar is, in my opinion, the creation of consortia or strong alliances between key players in the agricultural ecosystem or value chain. The challenge is to promote co-investment. The challenge is for all stakeholders to share experiences, but also knowledge. Experience has shown that real opportunities for an innovative and digitalised agriculture come from consolidating this kind of partnership around the farmer, but also from the mobilization of all actors, such as governments, NGOs, investors, universities and research institutes. BRUZZONE: Mr Jamali, you mentioned the importance of technology in Africa today. Africa is going through a digital transformation that is impacting all sectors of the economy and agriculture is no exception. According to you how can technology transform the agricultural sector in Africa? JAMALI: First of all, let me remind you that the Covid-19 pandemic, which we've all been experiencing for more than a year now, has brought abrupt changes in African food systems. First, there were disruptions to exports and food chains after borders were closed. African small-scale farmers have struggled, unfortunately without the tools or capacity to adapt to the new situation. Seasonal workers have also been affected, as we have seen by on the ground observation, since they became increasingly rare to find during periods of confinement. Also, it was observed that social distance measures made it even more difficult for farmers and cooperatives to connect with markets and consumers and, ultimately, these same consumers were forced to change their consumption behaviour. That said, we strongly believe that these disruptions can be mitigated by digital technologies. The application of advanced technologies has the potential to transform the agricultural sector in a profound way. To illustrate this, I wanted to mention that within OCP Group we have embraced the use of digital technologies to help local agricultural cooperatives and local farmers communicate with their suppliers on the one hand, and with their customers on the other. This is done through an application that we are rolling out in Nigeria today. Through this application, we are facilitating farmers' access to information about inputs and their suppliers, but also to information that is related to the market by providing access to financing, insurance and to advisory services. BRUZZONE: Very well, thank you very much for that answer. To conclude, Mr. Jamali, I would like to come back to this inescapable subject of the Covid-19 pandemic which has very unfortunately impacted negatively a large part of the planet, but that has nevertheless, opened up some opportunities in certain economic sectors. According to you, what were the main opportunities that emerged in the African agricultural sector during this covid-19 pandemic? JAMALI: Today, the pandemic is prompting us to support the sustainability and growth of the sector through innovation, through digitalisation and to completely rethink food supply chains in order to ensure food security in an era of population growth that we are experiencing. Women and young people, unfortunately, are likely to feel the impact of the pandemic on agriculture more strongly as they are the most vulnerable. By investing in the training, capacity building of women and youth in the agriculture sector, inequalities are not only amortised, but poverty is also reduced. Moreover, this created jobs, which helps improve the economies of the countries. Today, African farmers have the capacity to feed the world. Today, the continent, as everybody knows, is home to 60 to 65 percent of the world's uncultivated arable land. Africa has ten percent of the world's renewable freshwater resources. Over the last three years, it has also been recorded, that agricultural production has grown by an impressive 160 per cent. While the world's population continues to soar, we are talking about 9 to 9.5bn by 2050, the demand for agricultural food products continues to grow. If this trend continues, the amount of food grown will only feed half of this population by 2050. The rapid increase in food production will create new growth opportunities for Africa. In my view, the pandemic is an opportunity for all of us Africans, from governments to small farmers, as we have the opportunity to re-evaluate and rethink the way we operate. There are several areas of resilience that need to be addressed in order to deal with the threat of the pandemic, and of future ones. I can mention a few of them. Firstly, the challenge is to increase the agricultural population by keeping young people on the farms to boost the innovation, entrepreneurship and digitalisation effort. This also involves building the capacities of small-scale African farmers, with a particular focus on women and young people. One of the key axes for the resilience of the sector would be to promote the technical and energy autonomy of farms while adopting a rational management of inputs and water. It is also necessary to diversify the varieties grown on African farms and to develop autonomous seed production while preserving agricultural land. In addition, it is necessary to develop storage capacities and tools that allow farmers to carry out the primary processing of crops locally. Finally, one of the key elements to achieve greater resilience is to connect small farmers to all financing actors, to inclusive insurance actors, but also to markets, allowing them to understand the needs of the market, of consumers in terms of quality, of time and in terms of price. Thank you very much. BRUZZONE: Thank you very much for your participation.
En Français At the beginning of 2020, the Algerian Government announced the creation of the Ministry of Pharmaceutical Industry, headed by Lotfi Benbahmed. The objective behind the creation of this Ministry was to promote the local production of pharmaceutical products, in view of bringing Algeria at the forefront of production and positioning itself as a regional hub in the sector. As the former president of Algeria's Pharmaceutical Council, Minister Benbahmed is more than familiar with both the opportunities and the challenges that the sector faces in the North-African country and discussed with OBG some of the key topics regarding the Ministry's development, especially in the middle of a global pandemic. The main objectives for the Ministry's creation, the role for private investment in the Algerian pharmaceutical sector and the regulatory framework for R&D are some of the topics discussed with Minister Benbahmed during this vidcast. Algeria benefits a strategic location that can allow the country to further export pharmaceutical products to Sub-Saharan Africa, taking advantage of its installed production capacity, historical know-how and availability of a young talent pool. This will also improve the attractiveness for foreign investment in the sector, a key component to enhance the sector as a whole, as well as developing local R&D, an area open to international collaboration. ‘'The purpose of the creation of the Ministry of Pharmaceutical Industry is to build a sector that creates wealth and, above all, that defines pharmaceutical policies that are both coherent from a regulatory and economic perspective'' mentioned Lotfi Benbahmed during this talk. See below English translation of the audio: Bernardo: My name is Bernardo Bruzzone and I'm Oxford Business Group's Regional Editor for Africa. Today I'll be speaking with Mr. Lotfi Benbahmed, minister of pharmaceutical industry of Algeria. Minister, thank you very much for being with us today, first of all I would like to know what are the priorities of this ministry of pharmaceutical industry of which you are in charge. Minister: The objective is for pharmaceutical products not to be considered simply as a burden for health systems, but rather a sector that can be a lever of growth for the country, a creator of wealth. Not only by creating added value through production but also through a pharmaceutical policy that is genuinely assertive with clear objectives, with a legal and regulatory arsenal. So a policy that is both coherent from a regulatory and economic point of view that would enable the creation of the necessary ingredients in Algeria. The objective is not only to create a sector that responds to the availability, accessibility and quality of pharmaceutical products but also, to be a lever of growth for the country, a sector creator of wealth, of added value, of economic growth and an exports sector. It is not an original model, but one that already exists around the world, it was South Korea's choice fifteen years ago, and it's a model that has had spectacular acceptance. We've also seen this model in the Anglo-Saxon systems where very often, the pharmaceutical sector and health care sector are separated. There's of course, a totally different approach, an approach that is more integrated. In our organisation, when the pharmaceutical sector was managed by the health sector it was managed by a direction. Today we have a full-time ministry with six technical directorates, and two administrative directors. We are talking not only about regulation as we did before, but also about strategic planning, industrial development, clinical trials, export, digitisation, etc. Therefore, a plan of action had been proposed in July, in view of creating this ministry, which was adopted by the Council of Ministers. Then there was an amendment to the health law that transferred all the prerogatives related to pharmaceutical products at all levels from the ministry of health to the ministry of pharmaceutical industry. We deal with the product, the ministry of health is in charge of medical attention, so, everything regarding patients, such as procedures related to the health card, pharmacies, hospital training, and medical laboratories. On the other hand, everything regarding the medication circuit such as its registration, its expertise, its quality, clinical trials, production, distribution and importation depends exclusively on the ministry of pharmaceutical industry, to which we have added beyond the prerogatives of the ministry of health, some of the prerogatives of the ministry of industry and trade, such as pricing policy and the pharmaceutical industrial strategy. Thus, the objective is to create a sector that generates wealth, and above all, to define a pharmaceutical policy that is both regulatory and economic coherent. Bernardo: What role can foreign investors play in the development of the pharmaceutical sector in Algeria? Minister: We were in a system that, effectively promoted production for several years by protecting national production as products that were manufactured locally and that were available were not always imported, so this allowed foreign investors to ensure significant market shares when they produced locally. But beyond that, today our objective is to create an industry, as I said earlier, that creates added value, it is not simply a matter of doing industrial real estate at a given time. At one point we were multiplying industrial units without having an analysis of the added value that was created and we could draw the parallel with the automobile industry at a time when certain cars that were assembled in Algeria were more expensive than the cars that had been previously brought into the country. Hence, today the concern of our government is that for all the industries, the industry corresponds to the real creation of added value and that it's not just a dogmatic policy, but something that brings added value. So, we acted quickly we a legal arsenal to regulate pharmaceutical sector in Algeria, as the previous one was obsolete because it existed since the law of 85, so for more than 30 years. Thus, in the first place it was necessary to set up the national agency for pharmaceutical products, to set up the accreditation and registration decrees, the intersectoral price committee, in which we put in place the main lines of action for the accelerated registration of products that interested us, such as oncology products with high added economic or health value. This also included the possibility of registering products for export. We have created the conditions for Algeria to become export paradise for pharmaceuticals, and we are working both at the level of price fixing for exports, as well as for the ease of registration and producing medicines for export. Decrees that included the framework that regulates pharmaceutical activities, were issued and later adopted. Hence, a new definition of the pharmaceutical establishment has been put into place, containing new specifications of charges for the import, export and distribution of products. As for the external actors, they will now find a clear and transparent regulatory framework that will fully digitised by the end of the year, where they can find out exactly what they can do, how they can do it, as the rules of the game are completely transparent and clear. Our main objective is to create wealth in Algeria, so we want to have win-win relations with the laboratories and since our prerogatives were given in October, and since the first months through the regulation that we implemented we realised that indeed, in terms of import or production, there were important flaws: products that were imported and expired in Algeria, products that were insufficiently imported when we needed them. Thus, we put in place through the new regulation, a real pharmaceutical responsibility as it exists in many development countries parts of the world, with an agency, where pharmaceutical products are handled by the establishment in terms of quality, regulation, availability of pharmaceutical products. Regarding, added value what's important, is that we have set up a system that allows to promote what is created in Algeria because at one point we had companies that would produce in Algeria but that would sell us their raw materials 300 times more expensive than other competitors. This means that the value added was extrernalised to the country of origin and Algeria wouldn't benefit from it. Even if the products even if they were not sold, they could expired on Algerian territory, and at 300 times the price, so we were in an outward-looking economy. Bernardo: Finally, can you tell us a little bit about Algeria's place as a regional and international actor in the pharmaceutical industry? Minister: We have some compelling strengths, first of all, in terms of the relocation of production, which at the time of the pandemic was cruelly felt by Europe. We have the proximity to Europe which would allowed them to localise a certain amount of production, as we have perhaps the cheapest in energy the world, accessible human resources that are very well-trained in pharmacy, and we have 12 universities that have pharmaceutical programmes. Algeria is now known for exporting its medical staff throughout Europe and the world, so we have a high academic level, which has allowed us to create this industry and we also have the biggest market in Africa of €4bn between import and production. Therefore, between this market, and setting up of platforms for production, which before meant the creation of a production unit, but tomorrow it could be research and development, it could be the nature of manufacturing, it could be licensing with local operators who do the processing. We are open to everything, as we have seen with vaccination in the world it's often a start-up or a well-known laboratory that subcontracts the manufacturing of these products. The gateway to a country is the registration of local products and we don't longer calculate the out-of factory price. What we do is we take a look the integration rate, we take out the imported inputs and divide it by the cost price and then multiply by 100 and you obtain the integration rate of a product. It is a government policy which is already used by the ministry of industry. At the ministry of the pharmaceutical industry we are using this formula and we have added the export rate, that is to say that registration decisions will be renewed according to the rate of integration and so our local producers will tend to produce more. We are creating a movement that will lead them to increase their integration rates. As for certain classic products we're going from a high of 80/90% and then we'll stagnate. For some products that we don't we don't master, we'll start at perhaps 30% and it will increase as we go along. But this integration rate has been included into the price-fixing regulation of the inter-sectoral, and inter-ministerial committees. We have now have the task of setting up the pricing and economic policy, so the integration rate is completely integrated. Regarding raw materials, there is an interest in producing certain materials and a lesser interest in producing others. It depends on the cost of the raw material, of inputs, and it may be possible to locally produce some inputs because we have mineral resources, carbonates or some minerals that could be transformed in Algeria. In any case, we are working on this, it's a fundamental axis. This is an opportunity for many industries in the world as the pharmaceutical industry is not just the product, it's all the inputs, what goes with it the industry, and we are in the process of creating a whole industry that makes inputs, to make the sterile vials used for injectables. We've found it ridiculous that we had a great number of print shops in Algeria, and many, due to ignorance of the local market, continued to import cases, when they could have been manufactured locally as these products were also being exported. We were part of a system that was not integrated at all, so the whole point of having created this ministry is to have a complete, a global economic vision that not puts first, the interest of protecting the public because the creation of the ministry emanates from the health law. There can be several ministries in a state that protect and are there to protect emanate from the health law. In Algeria, these ministries are the ministry of health and the ministry of pharmaceutical industry, and for our part, we remain on this logic of protecting public health with a vision of economic coherence and development of the country. Look, we are the leading producers in the region, it doesn't seem like much, but you could see in value and number of boxes and you will see that Algeria's production exceeds Morocco and Tunisia combined, by far. Also, in number of industrial units as well, that follow international standards. This recent industrial fabric that abides to international standards is the first market in Africa, the first producer in the region by far, which allows us to have us to have the legitimate ambition to be a local reference. It was quite paradoxical to be the leading producer and to have production units whose registration was blocked under the old system. Currently, there are hundreds of products that will greatly increase our range, those for therapeutic use, such as sterile injectables, insulin and oncology products that will be on the market in 2021 and 2022. This will enable us to reach the target of 70% of our priority needs, we will achieve this, but beyond this we have the ambition to be only country to have these industrial capacities. Our territory and our market will become too narrow for our industrialists and they project themselves naturally. As I said, we have strengths such as our strategic location, the cost of our energy, our human resources and our legislation. If a learned society made a comparison between our pharmaceutical field and what exists in other countries, you would see that there is innovation, openness and that we offer possibilities.

Following the release of the Indonesia Covid-19 Response Report produced in partnership with PT Mowilex Indonesia, OBG's Regional Editor for Asia, Patrick Cooke, is joined in a vidcast discussion by the CEO of the Indonesian paint manufacturer, Niko Safavi, to analyse some of the key trends and opportunities highlighted in the publication. With supply chains and labour mobility disrupted and demand depressed by pandemic-related restrictions, the discussion initially focuses on how manufacturing firms adapted to the unexpected challenges to ensure business continuity and employee wellbeing. As policymakers and business leaders seek to stimulate a recovery, the discussion explores potentially lasting retail and e-commerce trends that have emerged in South-east Asia's largest economy during the pandemic, and examines the appeal of Indonesia as a location for manufacturing firms seeking to diversify supply chains away from China. Looking further ahead, the vidcast ends by asking if Indonesia is likely to emerge from the disruption with a renewed focus on the green economy and environmental commitments at the corporate level, and ponders whether a rise in e-commerce activity can be compatible with sustainability. The Indonesia Covid-19 Response Report, produced in partnership with PT Mowilex Indonesia, forms part of a wide range of specialist research and advisory tools produced by Oxford Business Group that explores the impact of the coronavirus on emerging markets.
As part of research being conducted by Oxford Business Group to outline Ghana's response to the pandemic in an upcoming Covid-19 Response Report, OBG's Regional Editor for Africa, Souhir Mzali, recently interviewed Vice-President, Mahamudu Bawumia. Bawumia, who also chairs the country's COVID-19 Daily Monitoring Team, explained that digital solutions were key to managing the outbreak. The government set up a mobile tracking app to oversee contact tracing as part of the ‘testing, tracing, treatment' containment strategy and deployed drones to deliver samples to testing centres. These efforts ensured that Ghana had some of the highest testing rates in the region. The Vice-President also laid out the steps Ghana has taken to build the country's domestic industrial capacity and deepen self-reliance. Bawumia characterised the successful mobilisation of local industry to meet demands for personal protective equipment as an 'eye-opener'. Following this experience, the government has committed itself to directing government procurement as much as possible to local industry. Building on the 'Ghana Beyond Aid' vision, the government has identified further investment in industry, infrastructure and food security as key drivers of the economic recovery. In the interview, Bawumia outlines the GHS100bn Covid-19 alleviation and revitalisation of enterprises support (CARES) programme, which is intended to provide employment, enable economic recovery and create business opportunities. The interview will be featured in the upcoming Ghana Covid-19 Response Report which OBG is producing in collaboration with the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre. The Report will include an overview of the economic situation prior to the pandemic, a detailed analysis of the government's response, the road towards recovery and the way that Ghana is reinventing itself in the face of the challenges and opportunities provided by Covid-19.

We bring you a special conversation about race, diversity, equity, and inclusion between Tim, Jess, and Ted Metellus from New York Road Runners. You may remember Ted from Episode 74 when he shared background and insight on the quick and amazing work that was done to re-work the course of Rock ‘n' Roll Las Vegas Marathon in 2017 so the race could take place just a few weeks after the Las Vegas shootings. His knowledge and experience in the industry is unparalleled, and we enjoy diving deeper with him in this conversation. The conversation starts with a chat about Ted's experience growing up in the Bronx and then going to college where he became the OBG - Only Black Guy - in the room. We fast forward to how that has translated to his 20 or so years of experience in the running industry often being the OBG and traveling all over the country to host events in different markets. They talk about “signaling” and “tokenism,” and specifically discuss steps the white community can take to affect change. For a deeper podcast dive, check out this week's show notes
John Brash, CEO and founder of Brash Agency, talks with OBG's Editor-in-Chief, Oliver Cornock, about the impact of Covid-19 on the creative and branding sector in the UAE and beyond, as well as whether some of the changes we're experiencing in the way we work and do business might be here to stay.
In this episode, Erik and Don ramble, reflect, and review about games while hiding in their respective OBG bunkers.

I'm excited about this one. I've created a new segment that I will be doing once in a while. It's called Oldies But Goodies. OBG is for shows that are offered on streaming services but came out before we even knew what streaming services were. These are old shows that we once again get to enjoy. These are old movies that we have long forgotten about. The other day, I came across the movie Some Kind of Wonderful. I instantly remembered how that movie made me feel. I first realized I needed an Oldies But Goodies segment when Netflix removed Friends. We watch shows that feel familiar to us. Don't you feel at home in Monica's kitchen? I can fall asleep to The Golden Girls, because it makes me feel like I'm in my mom's kitchen listening to the women talk. Maybe you've missed some of these Oldies But Goodies. Well, guess what? You didn't miss it. They're back. Today, I'm bringing you a show that maybe you missed. If you're looking for something just to binge on, allow me, because I'm here with this week's Oldie But Goodie: The Mindy Project. Show Notes: [03:20] Today's streaming service is Hulu where you can find The Mindy Project. They have the best old shows that I have forgotten about. [04:27] The Mindy Project is still relevant and as funny as ever. If you thought she was funny in The Office, you haven't even scratched the surface. She is absolute perfection. Her books are also incredible. [05:02] This show is written perfectly and the characters in it are absolutely incredible. I don't give these compliments out lightly, either. [06:18] The characters are awesome like Morgan Fairchild Ransom Tookers played by Ike Barinholtz, but Mindy is the most awesome character of all. [06:58] Love me in a way that I can show people on Instagram. She just gets it. [07:05] The show gets 4 Spanx. You may ask why not 5? Let's just say, that I'm still holding a grudge because of what happened towards the ending. [07:36] Four is good and this show deserves every layer of spandex. Links and Resources: Eat Cake.

OBG talks to key speakers at the SFF X Switch event in Singapore to hear their views on how innovation can tackle development and sustainability challenges Sustainability and climate change took centre stage at SFF x Switch in Singapore in late 2019, when the Singapore FinTech Festival and the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology joined forces for the first time. As one of the partners of the event that attracted more than 900 exhibitors and 60,000 participants, Oxford Business Group witnessed first-hand how the technology and financial sectors are emerging as enablers and change agents for sustainability. In this episode of the OBG Talk podcast recorded at SFF x Switch, regional editor for Asia Patrick Cooke chats with Edwin Chow, Assistant CEO, Innovation & Enterprise, Enterprise Singapore, and Robert Opp, Chief Digital Officer at the UN Development Programme, about the prospects for open innovation initiatives to prosper against a backdrop of rising protectionism and a damaging trade dispute between the world's two major economies. To wrap things up, Justo Ortiz, chairman of Union Bank of the Philippines, expands on the tangible impact his bank's new fintech innovations could have on the lives of ordinary Filipinos, in a country where more than three quarters of the adult population is unbanked and broadband and 4G penetration lags behind many other ASEAN countries.
To find out more about the OBG investment challenge, please email obginvestmentchallenge@oxfordbusinessgroup.com. The winner of Oxford Business Group's first ever investment challenge has expanded on the method behind his first-placed entry in a podcast interview. Jofer Princesa, an MBA Regis scholar at the Ateneo Graduate School of Business in Manila, emerged as the champion of the inaugural OBG Investment Challenge. The competition was open to all post-graduate students at the prestigious school, known as a breeding ground for some of the Philippines' most successful corporate leaders. Speaking with OBG's Regional Editor for Asia, Patrick Cooke, Princesa explains how he approached the task of indentifying the OBG country and sector that offered the most promising opportunity for FDI over the next 10 years. Like the other participants, Princesa was given unlimited access to OBG's online research terminal for the duration of the competition, allowing him to make an informed decision on where to invest and why. Ultimately, he put forward a proposal for FDI into toll roads in Indonesia, and he expands more in the podcast on why Indonesia's favourable demographics, positive macroeconomic indicators and considerable infrastructure gaps led him in this direction. The OBG Investment Challenge was designed to encourage the Philippines' next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders to think globally and seek out lucrative opportunities for investment beyond their own country. In particular, it aimed to help them identify challenges and opportunities that are common across what OBG terms “the yellow slice of the global pie” – its portfolio of small- and mid-size economies growing collectively as fast as the original BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) states. Following the success of this pilot challenge, OBG plans to partner with more leading business schools and universities across its coverage countries, encouraging the next generation to practice their capital allocation skills in taking that bigger bite of the yellow slice of the pie.
Following the re-election of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in April 2019, much attention is focused on his second term policy agenda and the potential for bold reforms to address Indonesia's development challenges. Despite being blessed with an abundance of natural resources, South-East Asia's largest economy has developed a growing oil and gas trade deficit as it grapples with rapidly rising energy demand from a population of over 260m. This has posed problems for policymakers as they seek to generate sufficient state revenues from the country's resource wealth while also ensuring a reliable nationwide energy supply to support the growth of industries and meet the needs of aspirational citizens. On a recent visit to Jakarta, OBG's regional editor for Asia, Patrick Cooke, met with energy expert Darmawan Prasodjo, who is the deputy chief of staff responsible for energy and infrastructure oversight in the office of the president and also commissioner of state electricity firm PT PLN (Persero). Their lively podcast discussion focused on the potential for investment in Indonesia's upstream assets, the impact of so-called ‘resource nationalisation' policies on international investor sentiment, the prospects for further improvements in the business environment in order to ease the process of developing power plants, and possible changes in Indonesia's energy mix.
After winning a resounding mandate for a second term in the April 2019 election, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has signalled his intention to accelerate infrastructure upgrades, address skills gaps and further improve the business environment before stepping down in 2024. The lively and sometimes acrimonious election campaign was watched with interest by international investors, many of whom are hopeful that the president will ease restrictions on foreign investment in Southeast Asia's largest economy now that he is free from electoral constraints. On a recent visit to Jakarta, OBG's regional editor for Asia, Patrick Cooke, met with Thomas Lembong, chairman of the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), to discuss which sectors are ripe for more foreign participation, as well as exploring how the Jokowi 2.0 administration can meet the aspirations of Indonesia's vast population through policies that promote inclusive growth and sustainable investments.
Following a turbulent period in PNG politics, new Prime Minister James Marape made his first public address to the business community during PNG Investment Week 2019. Speaking in refreshingly honest terms about the country's economic challenges, the prime minister also laid out an optimistic vision for capitalising on Papua New Guinea's abundance of natural resources to promote economic diversification and sustainable, inclusive growth. In the latest OBG podcast, Regional Editor for Asia, Patrick Cooke, and Editorial Manager for PNG, Tjeerd Ritmeester, got together at the end of a busy week to reflect on how the business community is likely to respond to the PM's pronouncements and discuss the key takeaways from PNG Investment Week 2019.
After a dramatic week in the trade dispute between Mexico and the US, some form of rapprochement seems to have been reached and the threat of trade tariffs by the US has been withdrawn. What is the dispute really about, what does it mean for business and investor sentiment, and what are the domestic political implications for López Obrador and Trump? OBG's Editor-in-Chief, Oliver Cornock and Latin America Editor, Harry Van Schaick discuss all the developments in the latest OBG Podcast.
Introduction... On this week's episode of the Lunch and Learn with Dr. Berry we have Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough, better known as America's Favorite Family Physician to bless the podcast with some wisdom and knowledge. As we take in another month of April we recognize National Minority Health Month and I figured who better to discuss the importance of focusing on minority care & physicians than Dr. Shanicka. As the medical director for BlackDoctor.org, she works tirelessly to connect culturally competent physicians to patients and vice versa. Dr. Shanicka recognized the need to act on this void of information between the willing parties and continues to be essential in bridging the gap. Her love to support those in need aren't just centered here in the United States as you will get to here about her many passport stamps over the years. Listen to the end as she discusses her love for growth & guidance and how it helped propel her to write not just one or two books but twelve in a year.

Episode Dr. Berry: All right, Lunch and Learn community. Again, you heard amazing intro from not only a person I respect in the health community especially when it talked about minority health and it talked about physician empowerment. But a friend of mine, Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough, who is, you know, really helped educate us on, you know, obviously when rational minority health needs. You know, what the roadblocks of being an author. You know, why, as she kinda, taken upon herself to get physician out there, own way. You know, put the pen and paper. So definitely excited about today show. And again, Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough, thank you for coming. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Thank you so much for having me, Dr. Berry. Dr. Berry: Again, again, Lunch and Learn community, I can't hide this person enough. Again, I think, things were going on almost 3 years now I think and it's (Yes, sir). Quite some time and as see, we both see each other grow. Its pace is been absolutely amazing and I'm the biggest geek fan. I watch a lot of my colleagues from afar. Do amazing things. So I knew Lunch and Learn community, that I needed to get her, you know, to educate us a little bit and talk about some things I think is important. Especially in this month that we're in now when we talk about National Minority Health Month. Again, first of all, before that, Dr. Shanika, please tell Lunch and Learn community a little bit about yourself and you know, they may not know, they may not read the bio about of. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Absolutely. Again, thank you, Dr. Berry, for having me on your podcast, Lunch and Learn. This is an amazing platform. I am a geek as well, looking from afar (laughing). And all of you guys do some amazing things and watching you all, do your amazing things is actually what motivated me and some of the positions that I have now, to be able to amplify that. So, super excited about that and we can talk about that and just a bit. And I am back, Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough, formerly Dr. Shanicka Williams. Scarbrough came two and a half years. No. Yeah. Two and a half years. Now, my husband is a pastor. We are originally held from Chicago. Then we moved all the way to Sacramento, California. Our work, he has called to pastor church. My church, Homboss church in Sacramento. So I'm super excited about what God is doing in the city of Sacramento itself and our church community. I am a Board Certified Family Medicine Physician. I went to the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine (laughing), in hometown 2009. And did a residency in family medicine. I'm an advocate of Christ in 2012. Since then, I have a multitude of opportunities and things to do within the family medicine scope. That's really shaped to why become as a physician as well as some of the physicians that I currently have. I am currently the medical director of Black Doctor.org as of September of 2018. And I am a skilled wound care physician and that's a wound care specialist where I going to nurse and council. I take care patients who have wounds, all types of wounds, diabetic wounds, pressure ulcers, so any wounds that inspection, any wound that you can think of, I'm taking care of those, in the nursing homes. And over the past, since September, actually been able to prop of my lifestyle to fit the way I wanted to look. You know, as a physician. It's always a tough thing to do. (You're right about that). Yeah. (Laughing). That's always a tough thing to do but I think right now, I think I fit that sweet spot. So, yeah. I'm excited about what happens in medicine, what happens in the African-American community, as far as the physician, and the growth of physician in medicine, increasing the diversity in medicine. So all of that is important to me. Dr. Berry: Love it. So again, Lunch and Learn community until you see, some special. I usually, I guess. I got a lot of special friends and she's definitely one of them and you know, I thought of, depending on where you listen to his month of April, National Minority Health Month which obviously, I'm biased, right? Because a minority, as a physician, I’m keying to a lot of the different concerns that the, especially the African-American male faces on a daily basis when it comes to healthcare. Obviously, tell us, especially with the month going on as it is in your role at Black Doctor.org. What does national minority health month kinda mean to you? Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Yeah, absolutely. So, I've always had a passion for the African-American community, not just because I'm an African-American or I'm an African-American physician. But because of our inequality in health. I have a passion for any person or group of people that are marginalized, that is decent advantage, especially when it comes to healthcare because that's my profession. That is what I see the most. So, everything that I do is centered around career wise and education wise and getting the word out is centered around education, educating the minority population on health disparities, things that they need to know, to live a healthier life and that is ultimately how I became to be the medical director of BlackDoctor.org. So national minority health month is huge for me because I feel like, it is my duty (strong word). It is. It is my duty, not just in April, right? Not just in February, you know. It's my duty on a daily basis to educate and whatever that's look like. That's what I'm gonna do. Whatever capacity or rule that I'm in. That's what I'm gonna do. So I'm a first lady of the church. We have the first lady's health initiative where we are around the country. We have chapters around the country that focus on health in the African-American churches. So I didn't want just to be a pastor's wife. I didn't want just to be a pastor's wife right? I used my platform to educate and that it's all about. So National Minority Health Month has just been an exemplification of what my goal is to do on a daily basis, every day of the year. Dr. Berry: And it's so important, right? Lunch and Learn community. We talked about various diseases here in a podcast, where diabetes, heart diseases, and immortality and birth. You've heard them (Absolutely). And the minority seems to be more adversely affected by it, right? So it's definitely something that drives a lot of us to really want to do more because we need to do more, right? It's a duty. A lot of us really feel like it is our duty to do more because if we don't if we continue to trend, right? It's not gonna be good. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: It's detrimental to our community. Absolutely. Dr. Berry: I like. Actually, it's a first lady, what is that? Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: So a first lady is just a pastor's wife. (Right). If you are a pastor's wife, your pastor having a church, you are considered especially in the African-American community to be the first lady of that church. And if you can even see me but I'm putting up air clothes, as I'm talking. So you know, there are a lot of people like you know, that take that rule very seriously and you know, unfortunately, but fortunately, people, they follow you, like that. Because you have that rule. So I don't want to be, miss in my responsibilities and that's what God is calling me to do. Any opportunity, it's not just a title to me. Any opportunity that I have, I gonna push God's agenda, all the time, every time. (Love it). And He has a passion for the marginalized. Dr. Berry: Speaking of roles, as a medical director, again, I've always been familiar about Black Doctor.org has been, one of those websites, even as a medical student, as a student, oh ok, this is speaking to me, right? And I'm always, always keen to stuff that, kinda speech directly to me. SO that, I actually love the way website. Obviously, you have been the director. What's the rule kinda and tell them what some say that you know what, I can do this? Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: I'm always pushing whether act to do this. That is always the question of my life, am I qualify for this? Am I doing just fine? But, so, actually, Black Doctor.org, I became aware of them because they are Chicago-based company. Maybe a company. And I've always loved looking at their articles, receiving their newsletter, all of those things. So kinda develop he relationship with the CEO, over the course of many years. I did a few educational Facebook live for them while I'm living in Chicago and even came back. And you know, once I move, but because of that relationship, the rapport that I built with the CEO, I was able to relate to him some of my passions, some of my desires and some of my frustrations, about the way medicine was going and share with him some of the jobs I was working in frustrated me. And you know he's a business mind and ok, let’s create some solutions. All right! Let's do it. Officially, as of September of 2018, I became their very first medical director Black Doctor.org and my role is essentially is to create programs and services that ultimately connect positions with the patient. And one of my ideas was what we just launched last month. Web video connects directory. Is a directory, culturally sensitive positions. So that patients can go on our site. Our site already has over a hundred thousand kids a day where patients are looking for doctors. So we have to find a doctor feature. Now, we are building our list of African-American physicians that are culturally sensitive physicians. You don't have to be African-American to be a part of our directory, but it does mean that you have a passion for decreasing the health disparities in the African- American community. So yeah, so we're building that directory right now as we speak and positions across the nation are joining and we are hearing testimonials of a patient coming to the doctor office saying I found you on Black Doctor.org and I trust you. That in itself, ok look, we are on the right track. We are growing, we supposed to do. In the ultimate goal is to really bridge that gap and help disparities present patients with physicians that they trust so that they can get good access to care, that's the bottom line. That's our ultimate goal in any of the products and services that we create. Dr. Berry: Now was especially that first business of just connecting patients to physicians. Was that something that a lot of the viewers and people come to a website that ask for, hey, how do I found one in Detroit? How do I found one where I living? Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Absolutely, we would see that questions all of the time. Like our facebook page, in our customer support, asking where can they find physicians that look like them or as culturally sensitive. You would also see it. Even if some of our doctor's work. People don't know that we have a small community or even a large community of doctors where we talk to each other across the nation and we would get the question of, hey looking for African-American doctor in Philly, that you now, see OBG. We would have those conversations among ourselves because we want to refer our patients to people that we trust. So it was twofold, you know. Not only with the consumers asking but also the doctor. I wanna, need a doctor that I wanna send my patient too for, especially to care or happy is. I' m so, we are definitely trying to fill that void and make that easier for people to connect. Dr. Berry: And Lunch and Learn community, I wanna really stress on, I think we talked about this in the past. It's already been shown that if you're doctor shares similar characteristic like you, it kinda looks like you, you are one more likely to follow the direction, you're more likely to take the medication was supposed to and see them when actually supposed to. It adds to the cycle of becoming healthy and getting healthier. When you actually follow the direction of the doctor. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Absolutely, absolutely. Dr. Berry: I remember, there was a doctor, I forget, where the person I suppose to be while back where the family didn't speak in English, English were not there primary language and the physician actually upset that the person can't speak in English. Speaking of a non-culturally competent physician. Like that's where a lot of people run into. They run a lot of physicians who don't respect their culture, don't look like them and can't relate to them and this is no way they can possibly treat them to best of ability. So I'm definitely excited about this, the connection. That’s really it is. I know a lot of time when people talk about these disparities. They always say they would just go to, they can't really find them. It's not that they don't want to go to OB, they really don't want to go to PH, and they really can't. They don't know where they're at. (Exactly). Not a twofold part because again actually, me and Dr. Shanicka talked about all time, a lot of us physician, we don't do that a bit job, let folks over here, right? If you've heard Dr. Shanicka, she let you know she's in the building, when she's here. There is no question about it. But a lot of us, unfortunately, what we did during medical school, during our residency, we get to a place, we don't tell people, hey this is why you need to come to me. Definitely thankful for, Black DOctor.org just can able to say hey we gonna do the legwork for you. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Yeah. And we're also, our goal is to be able to offer cultural sensitive training as well. So hospitals and organizations can offer webinars or seminars or some type of didactic so that they are able actually to get culturally sensitive training, right. For all of the physicians. You know, we need it. I'm not just saying that just African-American. Listen. If I have Chinese patients or I have Korean patients, or I have Muslim patients, I wanna know culturally acceptable, right? (That's so true.) We can all use it, you know. That the United States is supposed to be united. (Talk about it). Laughing. Just say it. Dr. Berry: Speaking of United, again I want to, you know, Dr. Shanicka business right, before. For those again, if this is the first time you’ve heard of her. She does now only amazing work here in the United States, but she, let her said, her passport is full. She might already on the second book. I don't know even know. Right? She probably in the second book. Because she is, not only the Christian to the world of health care right? In the United States and try to get us together. But she does outside the country. Can you tell Lunch and Learn community, just a little about your international work, right? What's influenced you? Again I'm in awe in some of the stuff that you do. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Laughing. Let me just tell you. The guy blesses my feet. He's definitely blessed my feet. In the past year and a half, I wanna say. I have been to Africa five times. In Haiti in May, it would be at least three or four times. I try to lost count. But I go again, I go again in May. I was, actually really blessed to come across a young lady Sheryl Posla, a missionary for Christ, whose vision and the mission was so completely in line with everything that I stand for. That I have not on a mission trip without her and her team yet. So every trip that she's goes on that I'm able to go on. I just go. I just go. We've been in too many parts of Africa. We've been to South Africa with our church as well. We've been to South Africa, West Africa. You know, a lot of different parts. Burkina Faso, Chad, Cameron, like Kenya, it has been, which the other one, I trying to, I see it in my head and I can't, oh Ivory Coast. Dr. Berry: If you like Lunch and Learn, I tell you, you thought I'm playing if I said she's in the second book. I think you know, the first book is like, put away somewhere. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: No. Claim it, claim it. It's not yet but claims it. I'll take it. Yeah. So you know, her vision. I'm a Christian. I'm a follower of Christ. What we do is we spread the Word. Not only, will a lot of these countries not let you in. You know just to talk about Christ. Period. So she has few bringing medical care and treatment to countries all over the world and just so happen over the past two and a half, it's been, Africa. But she goes wherever she leads her. And you know also, try to save souls. We have awesome times. We were usually gone for 10 days. We usually go three or four times a year. It has been you know, be most. I don't even know how to describe it. Amazing experience. If any physicians, whether you are a Christian or Muslim. Whatever you know, whatever you are, that holds no bearing for what God is calling you to do. But if you are a physician and have not done a mission trip. It puts the United States healthcare system on the front line. Ok. When you see so many people that do not have access to care and the appreciation that they have for members to come and bring them medical care, to bring them to health education, to try to treat their diseases. I've seen miracles happened. I've seen patients who were ostracized by their country or by their tribe because of medical condition that they have that easily fixable, right? But they didn't have access to care. Just the stigma, you know, laid upon them. Just the feeling of gratitude to be able to assist them and to help them, to love on them. To come across the country for them. It just, it has been an amazing ride. If you are a physician and you have not done medical mission trips, you know, please, please, please. Get with the organization and go. Dr. Berry: Try to have Dr. Shanicka. (Get with me). And I think, you said a great point because I remember going to, I believe it is Jamaica and the act of gratitude. Like they were so happy that I was just saying hey, this is what you should take for blood pressure. Something that we take for granted. I'll be honest, we take for granted over it sometimes right? Just abilities, oh just take this medication, just do this here. And when you go to the country that you know. Yes, we have some resource unavailability here in the United States. Like it doesn't even compare, right? Doesn't even compare when you go to these countries and just as you see the look of their face and just happy to talk to them. Because they are happy because they know the work that you have do just to come to their country. You know what, thank you. I've never heard so many thank you when I did a medical trip because they were just so thankful that I was just there to take blood pressure and to do vitals. It's just an amazing thing, with that sentiment. So you have heard basically what does mean. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: I am, oh my gosh. Yes. As many times as financially possible that I can go, absolutely I am all over. And when I say it put the US healthcare system in the front line. I hear some of these surgeons that are going out and operating, for instance, like cataract surgery, there's a doctor out in Kenya who does cataract surgeries and it costs the patient maybe $20. Now $20 to them is a lot of money, you know, and they have to gather their resources and they have to do the things they have to do to get that $20 but what can you get? You can't get to get Starbucks by yourself and get free and a cup of coffee and a Donut, $20 you understand what I'm saying? That it costs, you know, thousands and thousands of dollars putting people in debt for surgeries that could be, you know, costs pennies on the dollar. So it, you know, it frustrates me the way our health, the direction our healthcare is turning to. It's really frustrating. And not only that and that's a whole another soapbox to get into. Dr. Berry: Well probably, we probably have to do a separate episode. Where do we upset about with them? Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Because you know, I can go in and I can go in all day long, (Yes.) on our healthcare system. Then I won't do it on this podcast Dr. Berry. Dr. Berry: No, that's a future one, that's a future one. Lunch and Learn community, she already says she'll come back for a second one so we don't, we gonna talk about the ills of our healthcare system. Just to get a look on our side. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Yeah, absolutely. I'm all for it. I'm all for it. We got to make a change. Right? If we don't talk about it, we can't do anything about it. Dr. Berry: I agree. It is speaking to talk about it. One thing that what I love about you as you love the document, right? One thing is people are gonna know what you're doing because you're going to let people know what you're doing. Right? Can you talk about just how important it is to really document one story and you know, get their truth out there? Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Absolutely. So I don't do it just so people can know what I'm doing. I'd do it because I want people's lives to be transformed. If I, if I could be honest with you, I’d transparent with you if I’d never posted again on a social media site. But if you were to look back from my post from 2010 where I was just posting to be posted versus you know, the posts that you see now, all of my posts have some transformative message. Then I want you to get that, you know, if you are not born to get it anywhere else, you scroll past my page and at least gave it for me. You know, sometimes people say that your life is, you know, maybe the only Bible people read, you know. So, and I want to be a testament. I want to be a testament to God's goodness. I want to be a testament of if it mobilizes you to do good for someone else. Awesome, I've done my job. So that's, that is the intent behind my content of sharing with people. Is, I really want people's lives to be transformed. Whether their health, whether it's spirituality, whether you know, whatever the case may be. I want you to be transformed. Dr. Berry: And speaking of that, can we, can we just, can we talk about the, your, your, your journal series just to bring the Lunch and Learn community, just kind of talking about it again. And that's where I really want to really, really dive deep. And because I think one thing about you that I love is that your word is so consistent. It's been consistent for three plus years. Through ups, through downs. It's, it's just been this like, I want you, and depending on who you are, whatever the subject is, I just want you to do better. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Yeah, no, that's that. That's it right there. You said it in a nutshell. That's how the Her Daily series, Her Daily Journal series was born. Um, I was literally in the car with my husband driving to you know, San Francisco or Oakland. Driving somewhere is fun . And God spoke to me and I said I needed to write a journal a month for the next year. And you know, see how that transform people's lives. And what it is, is every for the month or for the year of 2018. The beginning, the end of 2017 to almost the end of 2018, I literally live in front of everyone watching. Wrote 12 books in 12 months and each one detailing some biblical principle. That you know, that and it's mostly geared towards women. That they can use to help them in their everyday lives. And that was one of the most difficult but amazing journeys I've ever taken in my life. To be able to hear God speak one thing and then see Him bring it to finish 12 months later. And the close of the journals was at the death of my mom right after the death of my mom. So that final journal was, was dedicated to her. And actually, her death actually brought everything full circle for me and brought everything into perspective for me. And, and it just made me just love God more. So that was an amazing journal, that journal, you know, those journals are out and they can be used every, every month for the rest of your life. Yeah. I have people that are going through the journals for the second time. We're now doing a hard daily journal live online book club for women. So on the last day of each month, we go over the journal. That you know, what was going on for that month. For April, we're going up a prayer daily chats with God, how much talks about how to pray prevalently and what that means, what does it mean to pray. So yeah, it's, it's been exciting. I've been, you know, I get so many messages about, you know, women's lives are being transformed by these journals and it's just a blessing. I didn't write one of them. Okay. I didn't write one of them. It was the Holy Spirit that led me the entire way. I thought I had a list of topics I was going to cover and God was like, (I got this, I got this) Laughing. I got this. Exactly. And you can actually see as I'm going through them again, you can actually see my progression as I get close to Christ. And that's, that's the model. You know that these journals helped embolden women to take one step closer to Christ. And you can literally if you did journal by journal starting from December. December, what's the first one you can see my journal, my journey of growth. And that's what epitomizes for me is that I want women to grow as they continue to go through each of the journals. Dr. Berry: I love it. And, and, and it's so, so interesting, especially because again, we, we've known each other for a while. So, ah, you know, we used to watch, I used to watch and take care of your mom and I could just see the love that was there. I could see, you know, that I can see regardless of what was going on, you are there to brighten up her day. And she brightens up. And again, Lunch and Learn community, you know, we're fear at the logo, so leave it I guess to say we've actually been rocking the, again for a good time, but you know, pretty close. I definitely am happy for, for everything that's been going on, but especially the accumulation of the journal series. You know that. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: I appreciate that. Thank you for your support. You've always been very, very supportive and I'm very appreciative of that. Absolutely. Dr. Berry: So, so you've, you've taken, you've taken what God's kind of put your heart into your mind, right? And put it on paper. But then when I noticed, right, again, again, cause I get it, I'm watching from afar. You did channel that energy to get other people to do the same. What, what was, what was that motivation and how did, like, because again, you dropped 12 books, I figured you're like, Oh wow, (laughing). Oh, I'm bringing you along with me. (Yeah) It gets again, right? Because again, this the subject, you, the, you, the word you is always objective, right? But whoever that you is, I'm going to bring you along with me and I want you to tell your story. Like what was that thought process? And, and again, as I said, I'm always surprised at the stuff you do. So I just very you, regardless of whatever you want to do, you just go ahead and do it. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Hey, you know what? That's the whole point is to be obedient, right? If God gives you something, you want to be obedient in what He tells you to do. And that's what I've been and you know, really focusing on over the past couple of years is number one, being able to hear him clearly and then two, you know, acting on what he tells me to do. I don't want to just be a consumer, you know, I want to be able to give, you know, give what you told me to do and do it because it's not about me. It's about the fruit. It's about the people that are being blessed by it and the lives that are being changed by it. And that's basically the concept. Um, and I believe you're speaking of as the wind blows series. Yes. Yeah. So those are, those are two analogies that I've done and I'll probably continue those, but everybody has a story. Everybody has a testimony. Everybody has something that they have gone through that they have overcome. And you know, I want it to be able to share that with people. I want you to hear other people's struggles and let them know that you are an overcomer, that you can overcome this, that just because you're in the situation that you're in right now, it doesn't mean that number one, God doesn't love you. And number two, that he's not going to bring you out of it. You just got to trust him. So to be able to see people tell their testimonies and even watching them, watching them write it and the transformations that they had reliving it as they put their pens and paper and you know, the cleansing that came from releasing their stories. Some of these people, they never shared their stories with anyone before in life. So to be able to open up their heart on, on pen and paper and to share with the world is huge for them. And to see the feedback given to them because they were so transparent and because they were so open and willing to share their story of redemption. I think that's what it's all about. You know? How, how did God transform you? How did, how did he shift? How did he change you? You know what? What steps did you take to become, you know, who you are now? How did you overcome the abuse? How did you overcome the addiction? How did you overcome depression? Right? So those are, those are all stories that need to be told. Um, and I think if more people open up their mouths right, then more people will be transformed. Dr. Berry: Now, was it difficult to get them to put that on the paper to get them to open their mouth of that was, that was where they, in a way, it was there some issue, (No). That we caused them to say like, I've been, I didn't want to do it before. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Well, as some, sometimes some people didn't actually know that that's what they were supposed to do until they saw the calling. Does that make sense? (Yeah). So they were like, oh wait, I do have a story. Oh, oh wait, I did survive the abuse. He tried to kill me and I did survive that. Maybe I’m rape. Right? For some people, it was a revelation. Other people, this was the first step to the full book that they needed to, right? So one of them, my authors wrote just a, uh, a snippet of her story and we just finished her book. Lishel Evans, Breakthrough. We just finished her, but she completed her whole book. So it was a stepping stone and something that gave her the courage to say, listen, I want to tell more of my story and I want, I want people to hear it so that they can be transformed. Dr. Berry: Beautiful. Like I say it again. Let me, like we alluded earlier, Lunch and Learn community. When you know, when you have special guests like Dr. Shanicka and you can just kind of see the different facets of her life and her work. But you can always see at the end, right? It's always about, you know, becoming a better you. When we talk about national minority when we're talking about a National Minority Health Month. But how can we help our minority community to become better again? Right? When we talk about international work, like how can someone become better, right? So that's a theme that a, is such a sight to see. And sometimes I, and I, I like to, I always, I always like to get on my friend, right? Because a lot of times we're doing so much great work that we don't really have the time. Right. So like the lay it all out say, Oh wow, look at all the stuff I'm doing it right. So this is why I started to like to brag on because they, cause they won't brag on the cell. That too humble. Fortunately for me, right? Humility sometimes still working on it. Right. So like I can recognize like when I'm doing something and I could recognize when they're doing so again, that's why, you know, I said yeah she, we, she gotta be on the show because we got and we just got to talk about her and you know how she can help us become better us. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Oh, that's amazing. Thank you. Dr. Berry: Before I let you go, because I know I've been long talking to you. Right? I want, you know, just, you know, just some, some quick caveats like how is, I probably already said it right when I, how is what you're doing, you know, not only, you know, empowering other women really to the better, better excels and better control of their health and everything else. But like just like the world, how are you, how are you doing that? Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Oh boy. But no. That's, you know, to sum it all up, whenever you see me do, you may be in a different position, you know, next week or you might see me in a different country next month. Just know that everything that I do has a purpose. I'm still working on me. I'm still, you know, that still has some things in me that I, that needs to be ironed out and, and kicked out and punch that. (Laughing).It tells something. But I'd like to share that journey because the transparency on that journey, whether it's, you know, you know I have a post on my Vimeo right now that yeah, I gained, I gained 20 pounds. I like to be transparent and my journey to show that you know, number one I'm human. Number two, you are human, you know, and if you know God is still working on me, he's still working on you, (yes) right? So health-wise, mentally, physically, spiritually, however, I can get you to a place where you are healthier, you are smarter, you are spiritually field, and you, you know, you are everything to make your home, then that's what I'm going to do. I come to bear fruit. That’s it. Dr. Berry: Love it. We appreciate it. Where can others, you know, find you, right? Where can others find you, whether it be at, like a or where the media international or list them links out cause you know, they're gonna want, they're gonna want to read the books. They're going to want to read a series. Like, tell them. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Yeah. Absolutely. So everything can be found at www.shanicka.com. That is, um, that'd be www.shanicka.com. You can find some free gifts for health. You know, a free shopping cart lists that you can take to the grocery store to help you shop for better foods. And you'll also find my books. You'll also find how to join the Her Daily Journal. If you want to go directly to the book club, you just go to www.herdailyjournal.com and it has us, you can donate to mission partners for Christ, you know so that we can continue our medical missions. It has everything on that one site and finds out where, you know, all of my social media handles, everything is on that site. Oh d, oh wait! I used to do a radio show, The Diva MD show. (Laughing). Dr. Berry: Again. Honestly, regardless if she says she used to do blank. I'm a believer. Okay. There are no reasons. Like she's already shown me three years of work to say that she probably could do whatever, you know we put in front of her so it's a believer. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: That was a health show. So you know, if you want to go back into the archives and listen to some old health shows, we can do that as well. Dr. Berry: Perfect. And again, Lunch and Learn community, if you're driving, you know, at work, take a shower, whatever. All of these links will be in the show notes. Because again, you definitely, this is definitely a person. If you can only follow one person on a social media platform, this is definitely a person I think you should choose you guys. Absolutely amazing. Again, Dr. Shanicka thank you for coming to the Lunch and Learn community and you know, really blessing us, educating us, putting our thoughts into motion of how we can be better us. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: I appreciate you Dr. Berry for having me. This is an amazing opportunity and all of the work that you're doing is, is phenomenal. You know, I follow the blog, I follow, I get all of your emails. Yes, and the podcast. Dr. Berry: I apologize for this. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: But that great information, they'll make sure that you guys are subscribing to this podcast because you know we are movers and shakers and medicine so we want to make sure that you guys are aware and hanging out with Dr. Berry. Dr. Berry for Lunch and Learn. Dr. Berry: Yes, thank you. And again, Lunch and Learn community. See you guys next week. You have a blessed week. Dr. Shanicka Scarbrough: Take care.

The eyes of the world are turning towards Papua New Guinea as it prepares to host the APEC Economic Leaders' Week, the biggest ever international event on its soil. Starting on November 12, the week-long event is the culmination of PNG's 2018 chairmanship of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. As Port Moresby buzzes with activity ahead of the arrival of political heavyweights such as Chinese President Xi Jingping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US Vice President Mike Pence, many international observers are asking what the event means for the Pacific nation host, and how can it capitalise on the international spotlight for long-term benefits. With these questions in mind, Patrick Cooke, Oxford Business Group's Regional Editor for Asia, spoke with Tjeerd Ritmeester, OBG's Editorial Manager in PNG, to get a sense of how hosting preparations have changed the face of the capital, and whether the business community in PNG is ready to take advantage of the exposure and networking opportunities provided. Another area of discussion is APEC 2018's theme of ‘Harnessing inclusive opportunities and embracing the digital future', and PNG's progress in digital transformation as it seeks to address severe development challenges. Taking into account the current international climate of protectionism, they also explore the implications of the US president's decision not to attend the summit, and the extent to which China is filling a regional leadership vacuum created by Trump's indifference. Finally, our analysts look ahead to see how Papua New Guinea can ensure a meaningful and lasting legacy from its year-long chairmanship of this high-level, multilateral forum.

Despite a rising tide of international trade protectionism and ongoing political uncertainty at home, a notable majority of executives who participated in OBG's second ever Thailand Business Barometer indicated that their firms planned significant capital investments in the year ahead. To contextualise the results of the survey of over 100 C-suite executives based in Bangkok, OBG's Regional Editor for Asia, Patrick Cooke, met with the UK's Trade Envoy to Thailand, Myanmar and Brunei, Paul Scully MP, to discuss some of the key findings in a podcast. During their meeting at the Department for International Trade in Whitehall, the pair debated whether Thai executives' appetite for investment was likely to be satisfied in their domestic market or if they would increasingly look abroad for opportunities in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region and even as far afield as the UK itself. They also discussed the risks and opportunities for Thailand from the emergence of China as ASEAN's top trade partner, and explored ways in which UK firms might assist Thailand in bridging skills gaps and preparing its workforce for the demands of an innovation-led economy. While the discussion was most mostly focused on the results of the survey, they also found time to talk about the UK's post-Brexit strategy for increasing trade and investment flows with Thailand and the wider Southeast Asian region.

In an exclusive interview with TheRightDoctors on Emcure AICOG tv, M. Bellad, professor and Head of the Department of OBG, Belgaum, working at KLE institute of JNMC Medical College at Belgaum spoke about the maternal health improvement in India. This is what he said : There are 3 levels of factors, which work and that is responsible for maternal mortality. so we need to look at all the 3 levels. Patient factors, community factors, and then the system factors. Women enter into pregnancy in such a poor state of health and that worsens during pregnancy Because of lack of education number #1, lack of nutritional support and the system factor, which needs correct this, needs proper timely interventions These lead to lot of complications and that causes the high maternal mortality in India. the seeking behavior, pre-care seeking behavior and when they come to the hospital the personalize lack of care in the institutes plus a proper intervention, Counseling, is less commonly observed in many of the institutes and support further women from the family what treatment is advised whether it is adhered so compliance also matters so when these factors are adversely affecting in India That is why we are having high maternal mortality and morbidity.'

Ever since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act became the law of the land, it seems to be all anybody can talk about. That being said, we would be amiss not to touch on the importance of municipal taxes. After all, they can be just as complex as their federal counterparts. Dan Bialek, a municipal tax ninja in our Northeast Ohio Region, joins unsuitable to talk about the Ohio Business Gateway (OBG), the elimination of the throwback rule, the 20-day rule, and more. What is Ohio Business Gateway? The theme of the OBG is centralized collections; the complexity of multiple filing has been burdensome for taxpayers operating in multiple municipalities, and the goal is to allow taxpayers to file one return instead of many. That sounds great on the surface, but it's causing a lot of controversies. On one hand, municipalities are concerned about how states are going to handle funds. And while this does reduce the number of filing, it does not necessarily reduce the complexity of navigating multiple municipalities. If you are a taxpayer in Ohio, you will be interested in these other topics discussed in this episode: What the elimination of the Throwback Rule means for business owners (and how you might be able to save some money). How the 20-day rule affects employees working in multiple municipalities. One thing Ohio employees can do right now that might reduce their tax burden.

Against a backdrop of China's rebalancing towards consumption-driven growth and the looming threat of global trade war, executives who participated in the inaugural Business Barometer: OBG in ASEAN CEO survey were resolutely positive about the regional prospects for expansion and investment in the near future. To digest and contextualise the results of the survey of over 550 C-suite executives in 6 out 10 ASEAN member states, OBG's Regional Editor for Asia, Patrick Cooke, analysed some of the key findings in a podcast with Ivan Tan, Enterprise Singapore 's Global Markets Director for Southeast Asia. They discuss how concerted efforts to tackle the region's vast infrastructure deficit are combining with favourable demographics and a burgeoning middle class to boost business confidence and create fertile ground for private sector investment. Read also: The Report: Myanmar 2018 The pair also explores the external risks that threaten to derail the region's momentum, looking at why survey respondents were fearful of a slowdown in Chinese demand and what new opportunities are emerging from China's rebalancing towards a so-called “high quality” growth model. At the same time, they acknowledge that risk perceptions may have changed since the survey was conducted due to the imminent threat of a high-level trade war between the world's two biggest economies, a scenario they both agree would be negative for ASEAN despite potentially creating some positive openings in certain sectors. Regardless of the wide disparities in the business environments of ASEAN member states, as evidenced in the survey, Tan was confident the bloc was moving in the right direction in creating the rules-based architecture necessary for the formation and functioning of a cohesive single market, as envisioned in the ASEAN Economic Community 2025 blueprint .

Welcome to episode 27 of the EdTech Situation Room from November 2, 2016, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed a variety of announcements from both Microsoft and Apple from recent PR events. Topics included Microsoft's Surface Studio, Apple's refreshed MacBook Pro, AppleTV updates, and the changing identities as well as customer niche foci of Microsoft and Apple. Jason and Wes discussed the wisdom or folly of Apple going "all in" for the USB-C port in new MacBooks, and the possibility that laptop innovation has plateaued across platforms today. They also talked about the massive and unprecedented cybertattacks from two weeks ago, the role of hacked IoT (Internet of Things) devices in the attack, and the implications of this hostile cyber-environment for consumers as well as schools. Wes gave a big shout out to Brian Krebs, his security blog, and 2014 book "Spam Nation - The Inside Story of Organized Cybercrime-from Global Epidemic to Your Front Door." Geeks of the week included the WorkFrom App for iOS (from Jason) and political messaging games on GOParcade.com (from Wes).
