Ricky Padilla is no stranger to central Florida. In fact, he's called Orlando home since he was 12 years old after his family moved to the Sunshine State from New Jersey. After graduating from Lake Howell High School, Padilla earned a scholarship to Seminole Community College playing baseball. Padilla furthered his education, graduating from the University of Central Florida with a bachelor's degree in Organizational Communications, but it was at UCF where his journey in radio began. Padilla had a love for music and set his eyes on the radio, but it wasn't an easy start. “It was months before I got an email back,” Padilla said. He eventually secured an internship position as a part-time street team promotions assistant at a large hip-hop radio station. Padilla had bigger plans. The college student wanted to be on the airwaves. Securing an internship was his foot in the door, but how to be an on-air host didn't come with an instruction manual. “Nobody really shows you what to do,” Padilla said. “So I used to read articles out loud and went from there practicing the boards on my own time to learn what to do”. His practice paid off eventually landing a part-time on-air gig. “My shift was Sunday 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.” Padilla said. “It was probably the worst shift you could get in radio, but I treated it like gold and then gradually moved up from there.” Padilla remembers the call he received offering him a full-time position working overnights. “I was working like three part-time jobs at the time so it was a great feeling finally getting a full-time position,” he said. Over the years Padilla made his fair share of friends in radio, but by chance ended up working with a popular deejay he knew and eventually secured a close bond with. “Initially DJ Nasty and I worked different shifts and then someone called out and I got to fill in and someone else called out and he was filling in and that night on-air, our chemistry working together was just there,” Padilla said. “That was all she wrote and we've worked together and had a show at all the stations we worked at together ever since, he's family now”. Of course, Padilla has had his fair share of ups and downs in his radio career. “I remember getting let go from that first job,” Padilla said. “I kept my chin up, but as soon as I got in the car I cried because I loved it so much and had worked so hard to get that gig”. There was one moment Padilla remembers the most about getting fired. “I was told I wasn't going to make it in radio,” Padilla said. “Getting let go from that job was a blessing in disguise in a way because I moved on to better opportunities and being told I wasn't going to make it in radio was fuel to the fire that motivated me to work even harder”. Padilla has been heard on legendary Orlando radio stations over the years from 102 JAMZ to Power 95.3, STAR 94.5, and currently at the rapidly growing FLY 103.1. Padilla didn't stop growing and learning. In addition to radio, he became a businessman — owning parts of different clubs and restaurants. He also manages the social media influencer and comedian LeJuan James and even emcees for the Orlando City Soccer Club. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He became a Star Trek fan from the first airing of the TV show in 1966 and has remained a staunch fan. He attended the AM&N College in 1969 and graduated from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff in 1973, one year after AM&N became a part of the University of Arkansas. He later received a master's degree in Interpersonal and Organizational Communications from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

The last 15 years there were spent as the associate vice chancellor/chief human resources officer. Retirement came joyfully in January 2013. Hosea is married to Christene Long. They have three adult children. God has blessed this family with eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Hosea Long has been a member of Saint John Missionary Baptist Church since 1985, serving on the finance committee, budget committee and in several other volunteer capacities. His true calling is Sunday school teacher. He's led the mixed class (married and single), “Connecting with Christ” for the last 30-plus years. He enjoys the company of his wife, studying God's word, blogging, and is an observer of all things spiritual. He now serves as the group leader for the Saint John Chronic Illness Support Group. He leads this group as a sufferer from a chronic illness himself. He was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a form of blood cancer in 2000. He relapsed in 2018 and is currently living with a low level of cancer cells in his body, enjoying a high quality of life. Retirement is the best job he's ever had, and God is truly his BFF.

She is the author of “Being Present: Commanding Attention at Work (and at Home) by Managing Your Social Presence.” Professor Turner received a Bachelor's in Communication Management and Masters in Organizational Communications from the University of Dayton, and a Ph.D. in Communication Studies from Ohio State University. Key Insights:Professor Jeanine Turner, Ph.D. is an expert on the intersection of communication and technology. What is Social Presence? Social presence is the feeling of connection when communicating with another person. This is heavily influenced by format of communication such as face-to-face conversations, email, and texting. Don't Multi-Communicate. You've heard of multi-tasking; multi-communicating is similar and people are just as bad at it. It's communicating with multiple people at the same time, such as having a face-to-face conversation while texting someone else. The best practice is to focus on one conversation at a time.Implementing Social Presence. When thinking about different communication strategies, Professor Turner recommends reflecting on who is your audience, what is the content, and what is your message. These variables will help you decide the right type of presence to engage in.

Jennie Antolak, president and co-founder of Learning Journeys, and Tirzah Marie Lewis, Director of Creative Development, lead a motley crew of engaging, intelligent, and fun coaches and coaching trainers representing all areas of business, non-profit, entrepreneurial, and educational arenas. They collectively provide a place where people learn and apply the true essence of coaching. There are no lessons on skillfully advising, artfully connecting dots, or keenly identifying blind spots for clients. Instead, they teach students how to trust the process of coaching and experience the true strength of the human spirit. In each class, Jennie and Tirzah demonstrate how coaching is the one modality which, if fully embraced, can magnify one's sense of agency and conviction. In addition, they faithfully teach the coaching competencies that help others reconnect to their inner resources by tuning into intuition instead of listening to experts outside of themselves. Jennie and Tirzah have a combined 38+ years in the world of learning and development. Jennie possesses a degree in Communications, a Master's Degree in Organizational Development, a Coach Practitioner and Mastery Level Certification, a Narrative Certification, and is an MCC level certified coach. Tirzah obtained her degree in Organizational Communications and holds both a Coach Practitioner and Narrative Certification. In addition, she is ACC credentialed. While both Jennie and Tirzah value experience and education, many of their less recognized successes are some of their proudest moments. Antolak relishes and shares with anyone who will listen about being crowned champion of the Layfette Square Noodle Races. And then there is Tirzah's recent accomplishment-being awarded the Master of Pivoting; with the caveat of; most likely to lose her “Zoom Face” when disagreeing with the seemingly “simple answer”. (Not everyone is as appreciates Tirzah's latest success, but it doesn't stop her from sharing either.) Both Jennie and Tirzah are committed to upping their game by always learning, constantly pushing the boundaries, and continuously striving for more. They hope the next time they connect with you, you will be a part of this Learning Journey, and it will be you that has a story you can't wait to share.

95% of innovations that are brought to market fail to reach an adequate level of customer adoption or financial ROI. It sounds scary, but it doesn't have to be this way. Today we're talking with healthcare commercialization strategist and digital health advisor Dr. Roxie Mooney, about the steps innovators can take to dramatically increase their chances of being in the other 5%. Why you need an early adopter strategy that focuses on the specifics needs, goals, and desires of the customers who are looking for something new and novel. How to avoid pilot purgatory by negotiating future sales up-front and ensuring you can get value from the pilot along the way. The risks of falling in love with your idea and skipping the all-important customer discovery and market validation step. And no, your mom is not a good source of feedback on your innovation. The benefits of being strategic with your go-to-market timing (i.e., don't rush to market; do rush to customer feedback). How to co-create with your clients without building a product that works only for them. When to convert your early-adopter messaging (i.e., new, never been done before, innovative, etc.) to mainstream messaging (i.e., social proof, trustworthy, reliable, ROI, etc.). This is a rich conversation, and whether you're a startup or innovating within your organization, it's full of things you should be thinking about right now!
