Dr Gladys McGarey died, aged 103, in September of this year, so I wanted to honour her by making her episode the last to go out on the last day of the year. Rest In Power Gladys. ---- A few months ago I read an article that took my breath away. The author was 102 years old and in it she wrote candidly about losing her partner in life and work after 46 years. Not because he passed away, but because he handed her divorce papers! That would have floored most of us, but despite being sideswiped, Dr Gladys McGarey, picked herself up, started a new medical practice with her daughter before becoming a speaker, author and all-round inspiration. All this at the age of 70. Since then Dr Gladys, who is known as the mother of holistic medicine, has received countless awards including the Humanities Award for Outstanding Service to Mankind.  At 85 she travelled to Afghanistan to teach rural women safer birthing practices. At her 90th birthday party she jumped out of her birthday cake. At 102 she became the proud owner of an adult tricycle. Who is this woman? And how does she do it? I HAD to know. Now on the cusp of 103, Dr Gladys joined me from her home in Arizona to tell me her secrets to health and happiness. We discussed ageing into health, femifesting (as opposed to manifesting), how divorce was the remaking of her, finding her voice at 93 and why we should all spend our energy wildly! I know this isn't the first time I've said I found my old bird role model, but seriously. Dr Gladys is IT.

From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast presented by Gwinnett County Public Schools. Today is Friday, February 9th, and I'm Keith Ippolito. Cherokee County Firefighters Honored for Outstanding Service In a recent ceremony hosted by the Cherokee County Fire Chief's Foundation, eight members of the Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services were commended for their exemplary service. The annual "of the Year" awards, presented by Fire Chief Eddie Robinson, recognized Stan Ice, Sgt. Rick Scales, Sgt. RC Vaughn, FAO Jonathan Laurich, FAO Beau Witcher, FAO Alissa Whetstone, Capt. Nathan Baum, and Battalion Chief Shannon Gibbs for their dedication and commitment. In a poignant moment during the event, the foundation also presented a check exceeding $32,000 to Sgt. Chris King, who is currently fighting cancer. This donation was raised from a dedicated fundraiser, highlighting the community's support for their local heroes. This act takes on particular significance considering the elevated risk firefighters face in relation to cancer. As per the Firefighter Cancer Support Network, firefighters have a 9% higher chance of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14% higher risk of succumbing to it compared to the general U.S population. This event not only celebrated the bravery and service of these individuals but also underscored the ongoing challenges they face in their line of duty.

A few months ago I read an article that took my breath away. The author was 102 years old and in it she wrote candidly about losing her partner in life and work after 46 years. Not because he passed away, but because he handed her divorce papers!That would have floored most of us, but despite being sideswiped, Dr Gladys McGarey, picked herself up, started a new medical practice with her daughter before becoming a speaker, author and all-round inspiration. All this at the age of 70.Since then Dr Gladys, who is known as the mother of holistic medicine, has received countless awards including the Humanities Award for Outstanding Service to Mankind. At 85 she travelled to Afghanistan to teach rural women safer birthing practices. At her 90th birthday party she jumped out of her birthday cake. At 102 she became the proud owner of an adult tricycle.Who is this woman? And how does she do it? I HAD to know.Now on the cusp of 103, Dr Gladys joined me from her home in Arizona to tell me her secrets to health and happiness. We discussed ageing into health, femifesting (as opposed to manifesting), how divorce was the remaking of her, finding her voice at 93 and why we should all spend our energy wildly!I know this isn't the first time I've said I found my old bird role model, but seriously. Dr Gladys is IT.If you loved this episode you might also like my conversations with Hilma Wolitzer and Isabel Allende* You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including The Well-Lived Life by Dr Gladys McGarey and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me.* And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com• The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls @ Pineapple Audio Production.

If you're building a recruitment business, you might want to consider replacing the 360 degree “full desk” model with a 120-120-120 model.   In this fascinating interview, Pree Sarkar shares why he believes it's easier to scale a recruitment business with a 120 degree model. You'll hear how it gives his firm a competitive advantage in the market. Plus, Pree reveals their entire end-to-end recruitment process including the KPIs and metrics of a successful search firm leveraging the 120 business model.    You'll be inspired by Pree's story of resilience, from losing his job during the Great Financial Crisis to starting a successful recruitment company and making a positive impact locally and globally.    Pree Sarkar is the Founder and Director of Switch Recruitment, specializing in recruiting for start-ups and SaaS companies in the APAC region. LinkedIn rated him as a Top 1% Recruiter, Amazon rated his book Switch, a #1 bestseller in Careers and Job Hunting and he is a member of The Pinnacle Society, a select group of industry-leading recruiters globally.   Episode Outline and Highlights   [02:05] From losing his job to launching a recruitment business. [05:02] Key inflection points in the road to recruitment business success.  [10:47] Building trust from scratch when nobody has heard of you or your company. [15:14] Transitioning from being a generalist to a niche specialist.  [18:30] Why it is essential to focus on your strengths and hire others to complement your weaknesses. [22:02] Pree describes Switch's building phase and how it has evolved.  [25:08] What is the 120-120-120 team model? [29:30] Discussion on incentives, metrics, and KPIs in the 120-degree model. [32:00] Pree shares their end-to-end recruitment process in detail. [38:30] Giving back to the community - sponsoring a child with every placement.  [46:34] How Pree became a thought leader and trusted advisor in New South Wales. [54:50] Pree shares the backstory of his best-selling book, Switch.   Inflection Points Leading to Recruitment Business Success   Pree shares an amazing story on how he got into the recruitment business. On the eve of the Great Financial Crisis, he ended up losing his job. Determined to provide for his family, he believed that from that point onward that no matter how dark it was, serendipity can change the course of his life.    The first three months were really hard with two kids under five while being a single-income family. They had just recently purchased a house, and they had to break open the piggy bank in order to survive. I am sure you will be amazed at how one thing led to another for Pree, which can be attributed to his mindset and resilience.    There are four distinct inflection points in his journey that he elaborated on:   Learning how to listen with empathy to solve problems. Learning to sell. Learning to lead. Learning to build.   Experiencing difficulties first hand moved Pree to give back to the community by means of sponsoring  a child for every placement. They currently sponsor 21 children across the planet and provide food, medication, clothing, and education through their partnership with Watoto and Compassion Australia.    Why Pree Believes the 120 Degree Model Is More Effective   In discussing how Pree built Switch Recruitment, we covered the topic of Switch's 120-120-120 model, which they find more effective than a 360 model. Pree believes that recruiters must have situational awareness in three areas: who are the companies, what are the jobs, and who are the candidates? With this in mind, there should be team effort involving:   A researcher who lives and breathes all the data and information. A recruiter who is speaking to 20+ candidates all day, every day. An account manager who solely focuses on the client ecosystem.   This minimized risks for everyone on the team as the specialization allows each person to embrace their skills and build expertise. Part of Switch's value proposition is that they offer a “relay race” with three recruiters working on each project resulting in faster placements.    How to Build Your Reputation as a Trusted Advisor   A series of events lead to Pree becoming a trusted advisor in his industry - to the point of being recognized by the Australian government and publishing his book, “Switch”. To summarize, Pree likes having conversations with executives, listening to their problems, and genuinely wanting to solve them even if it may or may not result in a transaction. These conversations built the foundation for him to be more visible, and lead to him published his book, Switch: Stand Out, Get The Right Job And Accelerate Your Career.   When the pandemic hit, the book was really timely as a lot of people needed help. Pree shipped 200 copies of the book for free, and they ran 40 workshops and recorded an online course. They then approached companies offering outplacement support for employees who were losing their job. This lead to Pree being awarded a Certificate of Outstanding Service by the New South Wales Government.   Our Sponsors   This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro and Recruitment Entrepreneur.   i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

It's no secret that mental health care can be expensive and difficult to access, especially for young people. This can be a huge problem for students, who often face significant stressors. Bridging the gap in student access to mental health care can alleviate some of these stressors. Dr. Travis Gayles, a recent recipient of the AMA Award for Outstanding Service for his leadership during the pandemic, is an expert on child health access, especially as it relates to what kids have been up against for the past two years. In Episode 220 of Class Dismissed, Gayles tells about the stressors students face and how school districts are coming up with innovative new ways to get students access to school-based telehealthcare. Hazel Health, the company Gayles works with, partners with schools to provide physical health, check-ups, and mental and behavioral health evaluations. They give students access to a network of doctors for speedy diagnoses and care plans, including urgent care, particularly in underserved communities with large populations of Medicaid-insured students.
