Today's session covers a topic that many clinicians are pondering. Many, like me, are having conversations with themselves in their heads about the available opportunities and the most efficient and ethical ways not to be left behind as technology presents new options in our field. The issue is how we can navigate the world of mental health tech startups that are available to join us to support our good work. Examples of what these startups provide are electronic health records, website design, marketing, and more. The truth is that the pandemic changed everything and catapulted the tech startup world into the range of billions of dollars.

Today, Debbie re-runs the single most popular of 100+ episodes of [B]OLDER. Exactly two years ago, in the spring of 2021, she asked plague expert Nicholas Christakis, a distinguished Yale professor and author, the burning question: when will the COVID-19 pandemic end? His answer: 2024. It startled her and burst her bubble of optimism. Vaccines were widely available by then and it seemed like the beginning of the end. Surely he was exaggerating how long it would take for the COVID pandemic to wind down? No, it was only the end of the beginning, he told her.Today that makes sense. And of course, it was prescient.Tune into a re-run of one of the most fascinating episodes of [B]OLDER. (Note that Debbie refers to it as The Gap Year Podcast, the name she gave the podcast during the height of the pandemic. It's now the [B]OLDER podcast. Same podcast; different name.) SHOW NOTES from the original interview with Nicholas Christakis (May 7, 2021)Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, MPH, and a Sterling Professor at Yale, has been named to TIME magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. His fluency in explaining the intertwined science, epidemiology, psychology, sociology and history of pandemics - and his sense of humor - make this a compelling episode. You'll hear why he chose to publish his latest book, Apollo's Arrow, in the fall of 2020, before we knew the end of the story of COVID-19How his childhood experiences with illness and death affected his career choicesWhat the predictable three phases of a pandemic are (in 2021 we were still in the immediate phase)Why he thinks this pandemic won't be over until 2024They also talked about separating the biological vs. the psychological impacts of the pandemicWhat herd immunity actually means and whether we'll get thereAnd what the public health messaging around the pandemic should beDebbie asks him point blank: when is the next pandemic? The answer is unnerving – sooner than you might think.

Gary had the distinct honor of having William Lee Golden of the Oak Ridge Boys join him for an open conversation, and William was very frank.In this episode:What he did during the pandemicWho taught him to play the guitarWhy he had to leave the Oakridge BoysHis book Behind the BeardGrowing up on a cotton and peanut farmWhy they didn't sing any new songs during the pandemicWhat he thinks about his kids being in the music industryWhich song gives him chillsTaking a stand and being who you areThe insane number of sit-ups he still does at 83About William Lee Golden:He is one of the most recognized personalities in Country and Gospel music, having garnered the highest accolades as a member of the legendary group The Oak Ridge Boys. Now, the renowned “Mountain Man” is climbing to new heights in the world of fine art.Doo-wop, Pop, CountryFor the first time in a long time, William Lee Golden has a spring in his step. Coming out of a tumultuous period in his life, the iconic baritone vocalist has found the love of his life in his new bride, Simone. He's also comfortable with his place in the world as part of the Oak Ridge Boys, who are celebrating their 42nd Anniversary together in 2015, while Golden's celebrating his 50th anniversary since joining the iconic group.A farmer's son, Golden spent the early years of his life in rural south Alabama surrounded by music. As he grew up, he started singing at the age of seven and began performing regularly on his grandfather's weekly radio show along with his sister, Lanette. It was there that his love of harmony came alive, and by his teenage years, Golden grew to appreciate the Country, Gospel, Doo-Wop, and Pop quartets, and sure enough, it wasn't long before he was joining up with The Oak Ridge Boys.Nobody back home in Brewton, Alabama, could've imagined back then all that Golden would accomplish with The Oak Ridge Boys since joining the band in 1965. While on a break from the quarter, Golden released several solo recordings to considerable success.But for as much success he has had as a recording artist, Golden's no one-dimensional act. He's found considerable success with his paintings, and he's finding even more success with a new visual medium, photography, where he often focuses on landscape portraits and scenes. Many of his favorite shots can be found on Golden's official Facebook page.Family has long held a special meaning to Golden. In addition to his newly found love with his wife, Simone, Golden has four sons in Rusty, Chris, Craig, and Solomon. Golden also has six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Along with his marriage to Simone, he also welcomes his step-daughter Megan, her husband Newton, along with the addition of another grandchild to the fold.Lifetime AchievementsWith over forty million records sold, The Oaks have had more than a dozen Number One singles and over thirty Top Ten hits. Their numerous Gold and Platinum recordings include “Thank God For Kids,” “Ozark Mountain Jubilee,” and the crowd favorite “Elvira.” The Oaks have received five Grammy Awards, one American Music Award, four Country Music Awards (CMA), four Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM), the 2008 ACM Pioneer Award, ten Dove Awards, the 2010 President's Honor, induction into The Grand Ole Opry in 2011 as well as the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. In 2015 they were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The legendary group has received an abundant amount of other national and international acknowledgments.https://www.williamleegolden.com/
To close out this Summer season I'm bringing you a special double episode all about college, specifically, how families can navigate the application process and what's changed since Covid, as well as understanding the ways in which colleges may, or may not, support their neurodivergent students and what families should be looking for when exploring potential schools.I happen to know two fantastic experts in this space, in fact they've both been on this show before, and so I reached to them last spring after reading a lot of articles about the changing landscape of college admissions and the experience of students on campus since Covid to ask them to share what they've seen in their work.In the first half of this episode, you'll hear me talking with Eric Karlan, the co-founder of Ivy Experience, a company providing academic tutoring, standardized test preparation, and essay consulting services. Since 2010, Eric has consulted thousands of high school and graduate school students on their college and graduate school application essays and resumes across the country and around the world. He gave a TEDx Talk in 2018 called “What do I need to know about you?” inspired by his work brainstorming with students on their college application essays. Eric and I talked about what's different in the college admissions process today as a result of the Covid pandemic, and whether or not those changes are here to stay. Eric explains what “test-optional” and “test-blind” policies are and how they affect some students more than others, what schools are doing to bring in more diversity to their student body, and how students might choose to disclose their neurodivergence, disability, or other parts of their identities in their college application. Then in the second half of the episode, I'm joined by Elizabeth Hamblet, an expert in college disability services and helping neurodivergent high school students successfully transition to college. Elizabeth began her career as a high school special education teacher and then began working at the college level in the late 1990s. She is now at her third university, where she helps students with time management, organization, reading, and study skills. She offers programs on preparing students for successful college transition. Elizabeth's newest book, Seven Steps to College Success: A Pathway for Students with Disabilities, will be out in early 2023.In our conversation, Elizabeth and I talk about what kinds of services colleges may offer students, how to vett schools to find out what kinds of supports and accommodations may be available and how to access them, and what parents should consider when helping their differently wired young adult explore potential colleges. Things you'll learn from this episodeHow the college admission process has changed as a result of the COVID pandemicWhat it actually means when colleges declare they are “test-optional” or “test blind,” and how applicants should navigate decisions around submitting testsHow the young adult mental health is impacting students' performance in high school, and how prospective colleges are considering those dipsWhat schools are doing to foster more diversity within their student body (race, gender, neurodiversity, etc.)Considerations surrounding whether or not a student should disclose their neurodivergence, disability, or other parts of their identities in their college applicationHow some universities have added expanded their disability and mental health services on campus in response to student's needs since the pandemicWhat fee-based college disabilities programs are and how they can help students with unique learning needsFor more info, visit: https://www.tiltparenting.com/session304 Support the show
Over the past year, many places have returned to something approximating a prepandemic normal. Restaurants are filling up again. Airports and hotels are packed. Even movie theaters have made a comeback. But that hasn't been the case for the office. Only about a third of office workers are back in the office full time. And that isn't likely to change dramatically any time soon: Recent surveys asked executives about the share of their workers who would be back in the office five days a week in the future. In 2021 the response was 50 percent; now it's down to 20 percent.But the alternatives — remote and hybrid work — come with their own problems. In many cases, remote work has become synonymous with meeting fatigue, the collapse of work-life balance, overwhelming amounts of email and Slack messages and awkward attempts at social connection. And hybrid work setups often represent what some have called the worst of both work worlds: long commutes to half-empty offices, just to sit on Zoom calls all day.That leaves office workers in what feels like a work purgatory: The office is dying, but a new, viable model of work has yet to be born. And that liminal space raises all sorts of new questions: What will the postoffice future of work look like? And if the future of work means working from home in some capacity, how do we make that future better for everyone involved?Those questions are at the center of Anne Helen Petersen and Charlie Warzel's book, “Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home.” Petersen is a longtime culture writer who writes the newsletter Culture Study; Warzel is a veteran technology reporter who writes the newsletter Galaxy Brain for The Atlantic. In “Out of Office” they argue that the core problem with current remote and hybrid work setups is this: Workers have left the physical office, but they have taken the broken culture of the office with them. The result is widespread dysfunction but also immense opportunity: If we take this moment to rethink not only where we work but also how we work, then the possibilities are endless. We discuss:Why so many hybrid work arrangements feel so terrible right nowWhat workers actually need the office for Whether remote work is amplifying our society's loneliness crisisThe key differences between hard work and “soft work” How the switch to remote work has unveiled a work culture that was broken long before the pandemicWhat kinds of advances in work-from-home technologies we can expect over the next five years Why Petersen thinks the office of the future should look a lot like a college libraryHow the constant performance of productivity that workplaces demand actually makes people far less productiveThe difference between an individual creating boundaries between work and life and a company establishing guardrails to protect life from workWhether the shift to working remote will revitalize community life across America or undermine itAnd much more.Mentioned:“How Hybrid Working From Home Works Out” by Nicholas Bloom, Ruobing Han & James Liang“Hard Work Isn't the Point of the Office” by Derek Thompson“The Case Against Loving Your Job” by The Ezra Klein Show“Stop.

Because although it's women and protection, and it really does, we do talk a lot about things in general that affect everybody.

My counterparts at other companies are doing the same thing. They're traveling more, there are more in-person events, and there's more need for executive protection.”Monica: “In corporate, we're looking more at cybersecurity issues.

I truly thought that at the beginning of the pandemic, COVID-19 would help bring us as a nation together. I was quickly disabused of that notion. More surprisingly were the attacks on the credibility of physicians and scientists themselves. Dr. Purvi Parikh knows these issues well and has been a frequent television commentator and bringer of sanity amidst the craziness of the last two years. She's Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Allergy and Immunology at NYU Langone. She talks about the scientific method itself and the future of the medical establishment in a “post-pandemic world." the audio cuts out a bit in the beginning. hopefully, you can help clean it up a bit. Purvi Parikh, MD, is an allergist and immunologist with Allergy & Asthma Network, the leading nonprofit patient education organization for people with allergies, asthma, and related conditions. Dr. Parikh practices in New York City at Allergy and Asthma Associates of Murray Hill and New York University School of Medicine.

As editor at Food News Media, Danny Klein has a 30,000-foot view of everything that's going on in our industry. So from curbside pickup to QR codes, to the labor shortage to loyalty, Danny has a ton of thoughts to share. It's an episode that's just packed with breakdowns, some hot takes, and knowledge bombs that you can take back to your teams.In this episode, we cover:The different challenges facing both major brands and independents after the pandemicWhat advantages that independents have right nowEmerging trends like the “next-gen casual” restaurant Pandemic trends that will last—and what won't (hint: QR codes)The Restaurant Growth Podcast is presented by 7shifts and hosted by DJ Costantino.Meet Danny KleinDanny Klein is the Editorial Director at Food News Media, publisher of QSR and FSR magazines. A graduate of the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications, Danny spent more than a decade covering high school, college, and professional sports throughout Florida before joining Food News Media as the associate editor of FSR magazine in 2015. Big Ideas There is a ton of opportunity for independent diners to leverage loyalty programs“How can you create a community of loyal diners, who you're giving them a reason to come back. And for independents, that opportunity is as big, or if not greater than it is for quick service, because you tend to have really loyal, guests, you have people who I've talked to, people who go to the same local place three or four times a week and have been doing it for years. It's generational and they've passed it down.Maybe it's a texting program, maybe it's an email program, but just what are ways that you can offer that person something to join where you're constantly communicating with them, letting them know what's happening, giving them options to support you. And so I think there's a there's a lot of white space there.”“Next-gen Casual” restaurants are an emerging trend“So what this essentially is, is a combination of those two worlds, because you have a section of chains, basically in the full service space.They operate in and live the world of being an independent restaurant and how they look inside the type of food that they offer yet. They are mid-size and they're growing. So they kind of are able to handle what's happening yet at the same time. Give the consumer what they want, and also deliver on some convenience and tech things that are out of reach for a lot of independence from a financial standpoint.”Examples of next-gen casual restaurants mentioned are Walk-On's Sports Bistreax and Agave & Rye.The brands that make employee experience better will surge to the forefront“If you could tell [employees], ‘you can work, pick your hours, you could be flexible. You have the ability to work whatever shifts you want to work around whatever you're doing outside of working here.' [Or,] ‘we understand it's a one-stop for you,' or, ‘Hey, look, if you work here for a year, we'll give you this, and then you can become a GM, and you'd be making six figures.' All that kind of stuff I think is sort of surging to the forefront.”About 7shiftsSince 2014, 7shifts has helped restaurant managers schedule, evaluate, and communicate with their workforce. Our team is comprised of people who live and breathe restaurant culture and strive to help our customers simplify team management, every single day.

Since we first spoke to Leidos Chief Medical Officer Dr. Donald Kosiak 18 months ago, the world has changed in a myriad of ways we could never have imagined.In today's episode, Dr. Kosiak discusses variants, vaccines, masks, what the strategy is for exiting the pandemic and what we might see in the future when we manage to move past it. At the start of the pandemic, people were thinking we might be able to suppress the virus, meaning we would eradicate it, but that's just not the case. Coronaviruses tend to need to become endemic, like the common cold. Meaning the only way out of the pandemic for all of us is through immunity. And that immunity can come in several ways: from getting COVID in the past and recovering, from getting the vaccine and gathering immunity, or a hybrid of those, i.e. getting the vaccine and having COVID infection. “Until a large percentage of the global population, not just that of the United States, has one of those three things happen, we'll be reading about COVID and dealing with COVID for the foreseeable future.”On today's podcast:The strategy for exiting the pandemicWhat we can learn from past pandemicsThe vaccines and their effectivenessThe Delta variant and breakthrough casesThe debate on masks

In this episode Jen and I are talking about the "other pandemic", the mental health challenges that came out of the social distancing and restrictions due to the Covid-19 virus. You know Jen Robinson from episode 72 The Power of Community, she is both a life coach and business mindset coach. She is also the creative force behind the wellness brand Peaceful Living Wellness, her online magazine that helps thousands of readers every day to lead healthy, happy lives! We both feel it's very important that we talk about the mental health effects that most of us in various capacities are feeling especially since so much more emphasis is put on keeping us safe from the virus and seemingly no focus is on what that does with our mental health. For Jen, who calls herself an extreme extrovert is has become a topic that is very dear to her heart. We talk aboutwhat she as a former academic and trained researcher found out about the mental health pandemicWhat to do and what not to do now that the world has opened up a bit again Why it is not just important to address this but even a matter of life and death to deal with the What you can do if you are struggling with challenging feelings all the way to anxiety and depressionYou find the full show notes at https://connygraf.com/podcast/88Sign up to get my weekly "a few minutes a day"- decluttering challenge in your inbox that will guide you on your journey from chaos to peace with ease.If you love my podcast, please help me spread the word by going to Apple Podcasts and writing a review.

Let go of the need for control."In this wonderful discussion my guest and I are talking work and business but not in terms of targets, revenue and turnover.

About Geovanna and Yvette: Geovanna is the owner of Mia Bella Houston, an events and wedding venue in Houston, Texas. She is also the co-owner of Just Engaged University. Yvette owns Pop-Up Wedding Houston, another events and wedding company and is also the co-owner of Just Engaged University. In this episode, Jamie, Heather, Geovanna and Yvette discuss:How wedding planners can cope with changes due to the PandemicWhat pop-up weddings are all about Having great relationship and connection with your clientsAdvantage for wedding planners and couples to do a pop-up weddingKey Takeaways:Weddings can still happen in the pandemic, it just needs a bit of innovation and adjustment. The pandemic actually gave a good excuse to hold a small wedding, thus saving a lot of money for couples everywhere to start their new life together. Be with your clients from the beginning and all the way. Think about what need and how you can serve them. It doesn't make sense these days to spend an extravagant amount of money to hold your wedding and a lot of couples understand that. That's why pop-up weddings are a great venture for wedding planners. “Pop-up weddings, it's going to be the home of safe and intimate weddings, it's what we're promoting and it's what we're going to be doing going forward and I think that that's what couples want. They want to feel like ‘we can have our cake and eat it too, we can do all of the things and not be in debt and not have to wait 10 years to live the life we want to live'” - Geovanna Burgess White Connect with Geovanna Burgess White:Twitter: https://twitter.com/justengageduniFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/geovanna.burgessWebsite: https://www.miabellahouston.com/ | https://www.gbwbrands.com/educationInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/miabellahouston/ Connect with Yvette Valdenegro:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PopUpWeddingHTXFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/popupweddinghouston/Website: https://www.valdenegroventures.com/pop-up-wedding-houstonPinterest: https://www.pinterest.ph/yvettetbw/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvette-valdenegro-24a37a22/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yvettevaldenegro/?hl=en Connect with The Union Podcast:Website: https://theunionpodcast.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unionpodcast/?hl=enShow: https://theunionpodcast.com/our-podcast/ Connect with Jamie:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdAcY6YGgF-RgGYXTsOENbAWebsite: https://jwcoordination.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jwcoordination/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JWCoordination/ Connect with Heather:Website: https://theweddinghacker.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/weddinghackerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/weddinghackerexpoPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/theweddinghacker/ Show notes by Podcastologist: Kristen BraunAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

When will the Covid 19 pandemic end? That’s the question on everyone’s mind. Today Debbie talks to one person who just might have an answer to that question. Nicholas Christakis is a nationally-recognized expert in three fields: medicine, sociology and public health. He’s a distinguished Sterling Professor at Yale, a researcher on the topics of social networks and human goodness, and a bestselling author, most recently, of Apollo’s Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live.He’s been named to TIME magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. His fluency in explaining the science, epidemiology, psychology, sociology and history of pandemics makes this a fascinating conversation. Plus he’s got a good sense of humor:You’ll hear why he chose to publish Apollo’s Arrow last fall, midway through the COVID 19 pandemic, before we knew the end of the storyHow his childhood experiences with illness and death affected his career choicesWhat the predictable three phases of a pandemic are (HINT: we're still in the immediate phase)Why he thinks this pandemic won’t be over until 2024They also talked about separating the biological vs. the psychological impacts of the pandemicWhat herd immunity actually means and whether we’ll get thereAnd what the public health messaging around the pandemic should beDebbie asks him point blank: when is the next pandemic? The answer is unnerving - sooner than you might think. But they end on a positive note: plagues historically bring loss, grief, confusion, and misinformation. But they also reveal cooperative and generous behavior, the best of humankind.

In today’s episode, we’ll talk about one of the most important tasks in our workflow. Whether you’re a translator, an interpreter, a copywriter, or if you offer any other language-related services, you have to do your fair share of research. In fact, when we don’t do our research, it shows in the final product. So, today we’ve invited a colleague to join us. She really impressed us at the last two ATA conferences with her knowledge and smart tips on improving your online research. Elizabeth Adams graduated with a degree in Russian in 1998 and moved to Moscow. It was an interesting time and place to be looking for work as a translator, and she ended up translating and editing for a wide range of companies, reading constantly, and learning on the job. Twenty-two years and three children later, her translation business focuses on plain English translations of Russian legal texts, from laws and court rulings to contracts and discovery documents. Here’s a summary of our conversation with Elizabeth:How and when Elizabeth started her freelance translation career, how it has evolved over timeWhat her typical workday looks like and what changes she had to make due to the COVID-19 pandemicWhat smart habits help Elizabeth draw boundaries between work and personal lifeWhat other smart habits have been helpful in her careerHow to ask clients the right questions when it comes to the research you need to do for a translationWhat steps translators should take when it comes to analyzing our translation projects to guide our research strategy betterHow to decide what tools and resources to use for our researchWhat to do if you lack the time to conduct proper research for your translation projectsElizabeth’s tips, tricks, and favorite tools for better online researchResources we mentioned in this episode:Elizabeth’s websiteConnect with Elizabeth on LinkedIn, Twitter, and ProZHow to set up a Google alertPerfectIt: editing and proofreading toolWordRake: editing for clarityCopernic: desktop search solutionJoin our email list to receive a free guide from Elizabeth Adams: “Search Tips for Translators”For a full list of resources, visit the show notes page for this episode: https://smarthabitsfortranslators.com/podcast-episodes/37
