I loved this conversation with this week's guest – it went deep into topics like what happens to lost souls and ghosts (your jaw will be on the floor) and to help them transition to the other side and natural trance shamanism (yes please!).  I sat down on The You-est You® Podcast with Julie Kramer, a grounded light worker with years of experience — as a gifted shamanic healer, teacher of teachers, and someone who has spent over two decades guiding people into relationship with the unseen world of helping spirits. Julie believes (and I do too!) that we all have access to these compassionate beings — whether we call them spirit guides, ancestors, or allies in the invisible realms.  And even more incredible? We can learn to partner with them in deeply transformative ways. This episode felt like a reunion with truth — the kind that brings goosebumps, peace, and the kindest yes from your soul.

We have talked a lot on this show about the benefits of a diverse and inclusive culture and how it leads to outstanding business results. But did you also know how DEI helps your company manage risk and future-proof against churn, productivity loss, and potentially falling behind in the market?Today, you will hear one of the best definitions of DEI and how it enhances your organization. And the definition will leave you hungry for dessert!Vivian Acquah shares a very clear - and delicious - definition of DEI, how the strategies and mindsets ensure your organization manages risk effectively, the financial costs you pay when you actively shy away from DEI, and an amazing look at how she uses virtual reality to help leaders truly understand what many in their organizations experience daily. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:While the term DEI has been vilified recently, DEI is just like the best carrot cake - every aspect of the ingredients, the cooking temperature, and all of the elements make it great.Company loyalty is no longer guaranteed just because you pay your employees. Partnering with, not overpowering, your employees gives you better, stronger, and longer-term results. What motivates you may not be what motivates your employees. We all have different motivators.

Bianca Fernandez-Clark is a 7x Ironman finisher, Chair, and co-founder of Women in Tri UK, a charity on a mission to bring more women into triathlon and break down barriers in the sport. With no background in sport, Bianca laced up her trainers at age 29 to tackle a 10km as a way to manage her mental health. From there, she progressed to marathons and, in 2016, took on the challenge of learning to swim and cycle to complete her first triathlon. As a Black/mixed-race woman, Bianca has been vocal about the lack of diversity in triathlon, especially at long-distance events, and has worked to highlight the barriers faced by the Black community in accessing swimming.  In 2022, she co-founded Women in Tri UK, and the organisation has been growing ever since, working hard to make triathlon more inclusive and accessible for women everywhere. By day, Bianca works full-time in the financial sector, but every spare moment is dedicated to continuing her own triathlon journey and supporting the work of Women in Tri UK. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

In this compelling Technology Reseller News podcast, publisher Doug Green speaks with Kristy Thomas, Senior Vice President of Global Channel and Alliances at Vonage, about the evolving intersection of AI and customer service. As a leading Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA) member and a pioneer in VoIP, Vonage is now placing ethical AI at the heart of its strategy for enterprise communications. Kristy dives deep into one of the most important — and often overlooked — issues in AI adoption: bias. She explains that AI bias in contact centers is less about human prejudice and more about the quality and governance of the data used to train and inform systems. “The bias is only as good as the data you're giving the AI,” she says, emphasizing the importance of data integrity, routine audits, and transparent data sourcing. Vonage is investing in building what Thomas calls "governed innovation." That includes ethical design, user consent, and AI systems that operate within clearly defined parameters. With tools like Vonage AI Studio, companies can now easily build voice-driven interfaces — what used to be complex IVR systems — in a low-code environment, dramatically reducing friction and increasing adaptability. Thomas highlights that Vonage's AI strategy is multi-threaded. The company is: Powering its own solutions with AI for real-time enhancements, Partnering with industry-specific providers for best-of-breed integrations, and Enabling customers to bring their own AI into the platform. Importantly, she notes a shift in how buyers approach AI: rather than being informed, many are overwhelmed. That's where Vonage's partners play a key role — helping customers identify high-ROI use cases and building practical business cases for AI adoption. Doug and Kristy also discuss how customer service is becoming the new marketing — a front line where loyalty is won or lost. “Even smaller companies can outpace Goliaths,” Kristy notes, when AI empowers a personalized and secure customer experience. Vonage's commitment to trust is backed by its alignment with Ericsson and a strong internal structure focused on compliance and security. Kristy previews Vonage's participation in Contact Center Week in Las Vegas, where the company will showcase real-world AI use cases that demonstrate measurable business outcomes.

#122 Discover the power of community in homeschooling

Dr. Victor Vogel, a former oncologist turned flight instructor, founded the nonprofit Susquehanna STEM to the Skies to improve STEM education in rural Pennsylvania. The aviation-based STEM program was launched to address declining science and math scores among students, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. By combining aviation concepts with hands-on learning, the program offers a powerful way to teach science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in real-world contexts. Victor discovered that aviation offers rich, practical applications for STEM—such as flight navigation, time-speed-distance calculations, weight and balance, and engineering challenges. At the heart of the program is a Redbird FMX full-motion flight simulator, which draws students to the airport and anchors immersive educational experiences. Victor quickly learned that involving educators—not just pilots—was critical. Today, the board includes school superintendents, career technical center (CTC) leaders, and drone experts. Students experience aviation careers beyond piloting, including aircraft maintenance, drone operation, medical helicopter crews, and aerospace engineering. Field trips, Girl Scout and Boy Scout aviation badge events, career fairs, and summer STEM camps all expose kids to high-demand aviation-related fields. Programs often include time in the simulator, tours of LifeFlight helicopters, and visits to maintenance hangars and paint shops. Partnering with Sun Technical Institute, the program offers career-track students opportunities to fabricate metal airplanes and build Mars rover kits. A Redbird J desktop simulator expands access for physically challenged students. Another initiative included building a pedal-powered Piper Cub with students, demonstrating how aviation and vocational trades can intersect creatively. Several success stories highlight the program's impact. One former flight attendant is now a multi-rated certified flight instructor after a single inspiring simulator session. Others have moved on to flight schools, the Air Force Academy, or regional airline careers. The program's ripple effect is also reaching educators. One high school band director attended the AOPA High School STEM Symposium, launched an aviation club, and introduced aviation curriculum into his school. The organization was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in late 2020—just as the COVID-19 pandemic was surging. Despite the initial slow progress, Victor journaled his efforts during the pandemic, later publishing them in his book Pains and Planes, which captures both the struggle of cancer patients during COVID and his dream of launching a STEM nonprofit. Looking forward, Victor emphasizes the importance of finding volunteers—especially retired pilots, mechanics, teachers, and educators. He believes many people are simply waiting to be asked to contribute. He encourages others to replicate this aviation nonprofit model in their own communities by starting with educators, partnering with local airports, forming a nonprofit, and reaching out to media for visibility. For those inspired to launch a similar STEM and aviation program, Victor recommends building partnerships with school districts and intermediate units, seeking grants and donations, and always putting student engagement first. His program shows that aviation-based STEM education can uplift rural students and guide them toward rewarding careers.

With a career spanning more than 30 years in the attractions industry, Dameon has held numerous operational and leadership roles across several Six Flags parks, including Great America, Great Adventure, Discovery Kingdom, and an international post in Beijing, China. Most recently, he worked with Meow Wolf to support operational standardization in their immersive art experiences. In this interview, Dameon talks about Mindset, Motivation, and Mastery, Embracing Change, and Putting Value in Your Team. Mindset, Motivation, and Mastery “You have to be motivated to have meaningful conversations and meaningful discussions with the hope of resolving challenges, or realizing opportunities that can be created as well.” Dameon describes mindset as a critical, yet often overlooked, element in leadership. He emphasizes that leaders must choose how they perceive and approach challenges—whether they allow problems to persist or actively seek solutions. He believes motivation fuels the pursuit of those solutions, not just for oneself but for inspiring others. Mastery, in his view, is about empowering team members to align with values and expectations, not just in theory, but through effective execution. He shared how, in a challenging environment plagued with negativity, he personally committed to understanding the team's frustrations, motivating them through action, and leading them toward improvement—illustrating how mindset, motivation, and mastery intersect to drive positive change. Embracing Change “It's easy to do what you know. But when you get the opportunity to step outside of that and understand that there will be challenges... that, I think, is a mindset that is always beneficial to have.” Dameon's career is a blueprint for embracing change. From his first role as a street sweeper to moving across the world to support Six Flags' international projects, he repeatedly stepped outside his comfort zone. He explains that while some individuals are naturally more open to change, everyone should be willing to pursue it when it benefits their personal or professional growth. His time in Beijing taught him patience, cultural understanding, and the value of vulnerability—especially in moments where progress was difficult. By keeping an open mind and maintaining confidence in his abilities, he was able to navigate uncertainty and unfamiliar environments while continuing to grow as a leader. Putting Value in Your Team “Budgets are built in a boardroom and reality is executed out in the parks.” Dameon challenges the idea of viewing employees as mere expenditures. He advocates for seeing labor and operational resources as investments in guest experience, team morale, and long-term success. He shares several stories, including one where a small, inexpensive investment in costume replacements made a significant impact on team morale. He explains that while it may be difficult to prove direct ROI on such investments, the benefits show up in improved guest satisfaction, reduced turnover, and increased engagement. By asking questions like “How can I help?” and demonstrating vulnerability and support, Dameon fosters trust and shows that even minimal investments can yield disproportionate value for both staff and guests.

We have all heard the stories of former pastors or church worship leaders who have walked away or “deconstructed” their faith. Chip addresses the heart of this alarming trend through an insightful conversation with pastor and author John Dickerson. Together, they will delve into the complexities of faith, doubt, and the challenges that believers face today.Main Points The Deconstruction Trend: Many young people, even from strong Christian backgrounds, are questioning their beliefs. This trend is occurring at increasingly younger ages. Creating a Safe Space: Parents and leaders must provide a non-judgmental environment for open dialogue. Listening and asking questions are vital to understanding the root causes of doubt. Empathy and understanding are more effective than immediate answers. Addressing Intellectual and Emotional Issues: Both intellectual and emotional challenges need to be addressed. Providing historical and philosophical context is essential. Acknowledging the negative aspects of Christian history while highlighting the positive impact of Christianity. The Importance of Relationships: Strong, supportive relationships are crucial for maintaining faith. Young people need close friends who share their values. Building relationships with those outside the Christian community is important. Practical Strategies: Encourage open conversations and probing questions. Pray for God to bring supportive relationships. Model authentic faith. Address hypocracy in the church. Be willing to apologize for personal failures in modeling faith. Mentoring is important. Partnering with good college ministries is important. The Power of Modeling: A vibrant faith modeled by parents has a strong influence. Admitting past failures and seeking forgiveness can open doors. Conclusion: Persistent prayer and support are essential for those struggling with doubts. God can use these challenges to strengthen faith. Parents and church leaders must actively engage in the lives of young people.
