Today, we have the great pleasure of speaking with Cleo Battle, the President and CEO of Louisville Tourism and the new Chair of the International Board of MPI! Cleo is an amazing person! He joins us today to share his inspiring journey and dive into what matters most for tourism and why every seat counts. We hope you enjoy listening to today's captivating conversation with Cleo Battle! Cleo Battle Biography: Cleo Battle, a hospitality industry veteran of nearly 35 years, currently serves as President & CEO of Louisville Tourism. Before coming to Louisville, he spent 12 years as Vice President of Sales & Services of the Richmond Convention & Visitors Bureau in Richmond, VA. He held the positions of Director of Sales and Sales Manager at the Richmond CVB. Battle began his hospitality career in the hotel industry by working for Embassy Suites, Holiday Inn, and Sheraton Hotels. Battle is a native of Denver and a graduate of Metropolitan State University in Denver with a bachelor's degree in Hotel/Restaurant Management. He earned his Master's of Business Administration in 1997 from Averett University in Virginia. He is both a Certified Destination Management Executive (CDME) and Certified Association Sales Executive (CASE). Battle's most recent industry recognition includes the Events Industry Council 2020 Social Impact award winner, Business First Louisville's inaugural Power 50 as well as The Courier-Journal's 12 People to Watch in 2021. Battle currently serves on the Meeting Planners International Board of Directors, the Kentucky Derby Museum Board of Directors, the Louisville Sports Commission Executive Board, the LRAA Board, the Kentucky State Fair Board, the Louisville Zoo Foundation Board, the Funds for the Arts Board, and the Board of the Northeast YMCA of Louisville. He is the Past Chair of Destination & Travel Foundation, Destination International Sales & Services Committee, and the Virginia State University Hospitality Department Advisory Board. Cleo's journey Cleo was a college track-and-field athlete. In his third year, he tore a leg muscle. He was still undecided about what he would major in at the time. So he spoke to a school counselor, and she suggested hotel restaurant management. He signed up for the course, started taking classes, and began working as an intern in a hotel. Hotel work came naturally to him, and he worked in many different positions. Then he got hired into the management training program for Promise Hotels, and his career took off! How athletics set Cleo up for success Learning how to run hurdles gave Cleo adaptability and flexibility. He also learned many other skills from athletics that he needed to grow and become successful in his career. A strong team Cleo truly understands the importance of having a strong team! He learned that you cannot do everything by yourself in business and that you are only as good as the people around you. His old boss from Richmond, Virginia, taught him that the key to any successful endeavor lies in hiring well. He used to tell Cleo to hire well, provide good resources, and then get the hell out of the way!  Trust Trust is an essential ingredient for teamwork. People do much better when they work in a professional space where constructive criticism is valued, they can be honest about their thoughts, and they know that their opinions will be respected, regardless of what the leaders ultimately decide. Every seat matters At staff meetings, Cleo always tells his organization's members that every seat matters. He wants them to understand that regardless of whether they are the Director of Sales, a marketing manager, or an administrative assistant, their seat in the organization still matters! Enabling people Whenever there is new subject matter, Cleo enables his team by inviting them to share their thoughts and opinions and offer ideas. Cleo's current position Even though his current position as President and CEO of Louisville Tourism involves a lot of legislative work and more talk about politics than about customers, Cleo still feels it is vital to stay true to the core mission of Louisville Tourism and to bring visitors to the community. MPI Since the first of January, Cleo has been the Chair of MPI and serves on the International Board of Directors. He insists that his team has a growth mindset rather than a recovery mindset. The cost of doing business has changed. Since the pandemic, the cost of doing business has changed. So a lot of work has to be done on the industry brand to help those outside it see its value, what is being done, why it is important, and how the industry impacts people's lives. Getting more people to join the industry Cleo points out that hotels, convention centers, museums and attractions, restaurants, and airports cannot work from home. So the industry will need to figure out the right balance between automated and personal services, going forward. He believes the industry must invest in its brand to make more people aware of why it is such an exciting industry to join. Appreciation and acknowledgment Cleo believes that openly acknowledging his staff members and appreciating their work is the best way to encourage them to provide customers with the best service!

Host Steve Legler speaks with Susan St. Amand, President and CEO of the James A. Burton and Family Foundation, about the upcoming release of the 'Burton Report' on Canadian Family Business. Their conversation explores the vital role family enterprises play in Canada's economy and communities, the challenges surrounding succession and public policy, and the importance of stronger collaboration between enterprising families and government.   All views, information, and opinions expressed during this podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Family Enterprise Canada.   Guest bio Susan St. Amand is President and CEO of the James A. Burton & Family Foundation and Founder of The Sirius Group Inc., based in Ottawa. With more than 30 years of experience advising enterprising families, she is a trusted authority on family enterprise governance, continuity planning, and strategic philanthropy. She is the immediate Past Chair of Family Enterprise Canada (FEC). She has chaired more than six boards while serving on over two dozen others, including the Ottawa Community Foundation, the Ottawa International Airport Authority, the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health, CALU, the Institute of Corporate Directors Ottawa Chapter, and a privately held steel company. Susan is also a founding member of the Women for Mental Health campaign at the Royal Ottawa Centre for Mental Health.   You can learn more about Susan St. Amand on LinkedIn and on the James A. Burton Foundation website.   Key Takeaways [1:20] Steve Legler introduces Susan St. Amand, President and CEO of the James A. Burton and Family Foundation. He launches the episode by introducing the Burton Report on Canadian Family Business to the audience.   [2:53] The Burton Report was a long time in the making, Susan explains its genesis, construction, and purpose to support and maintain Canadian enterprises.   [5:28] Family enterprises seed, water, nourish, and grow more entrepreneurs, a necessity in today's economically shifting world.   [6:56] Susan touches on the importance of family enterprise in the changing demographic structure of Canada.   [8:11] Proper data and information are needed for the government to support family businesses effectively.   [10:02] Susan discusses the current information gaps and how to palliate them both on the business and the government sides.   [14:14] Transitions can be scary, but family enterprises think multi-generationally, and as such, provide stability through time. Advisors are critical in creating that long-term vision.   [19:00] Susan shares her thoughts on the role advisors may have in the sale of family enterprises outside of the family or even internationally.   [23:06] Succession planning currently marries poorly with the Canadian Income Tax Act. Susan offers a perspective on overcoming this.   [26:00] Susan shares a vision for family enterprises and their relationship with the government of Canada.   [28:21] Susan explains how the James A. Burton Family Foundation plans to support family enterprises for the economic future of Canada.   [29:47] Susan offers some of the results that enterprising families would be looking for in an amelioration of their relationship with the government.   [32:05] The importance of family enterprises in our very own communities.   [32:48] Susan shares her reading recommendation and a piece of advice for advisors.   [34:36] Steve thanks Susan for sharing some preliminary information on the Burton Report and invites listeners to sign up for Symposium, which will be held May 25‒27 in Vancouver, BC.   If you enjoyed today's episode, you can subscribe to Let's Talk Family Enterprise on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other podcast apps.

The Munsons are joined by guest Munson Krystal Clark to shine a light on one of the most quietly impressive performers working today: Amy Ryan. From a stage career boasting three Tony nominations to a film and television résumé filled with range, Ryan has built a career that somehow flies under the radar while consistently delivering memorable performances. We dig into her standout role in The Wire, which finally settles a long-running agreement between Aubrey and James—and yes, it means Aubrey will inevitably have to watch The Sopranos. From there, we explore how Ryan has become synonymous with memorable characters across some of the greatest television shows ever made, while also noticing a surprising trend: she's appeared in a lot of projects centered around the trauma of children. Coincidence? The Munsons investigate. We absolutely gush over her Oscar-nominated performance in Gone Baby Gone and question how she didn't take home the Academy Award. Her heartfelt turn as Holly on The Office gets its flowers for making audiences forgive the impossible—Michael Scott leaving the show—while we also highlight her sneaky comedic chops in films like Central Intelligence. Along the way, we try to unpack the “why” behind her eclectic role choices and wonder how someone this consistently great isn't more widely known by general audiences. How does she rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out. The Krystal Clark Collection We are thrilled to welcome back the incomparable Krystal Clark, Past Chair of Nashville's legendary Belcourt Theater. Krystal has become our go-to expert for the "Versatile Powerhouse" trend—specializing in actors who bring gravitas and prestige to every frame.

Description: Psoriatic disease affects far more than just the skin. Hear leading dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong and Dr. Benoît Guérrette discuss this and more with Jensen, a patient advocate. Psoriatic disease affects not only the skin but it can impact confidence, emotional and social well-being, and daily life. In this episode, join moderator Dr. Guy Eakin, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer at NPF, as we explore the disconnect between clinical classifications of psoriasis and what patients experience in real-life with leading dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong, Dr. Benoît Guérrette, Vice President of Dermatology & Rheumatology at Takeda, and Jensen, a NPF patient advocate and former Lead Youth Ambassador. Listen as we address the need for a more nuanced approach to classifying disease severity that accounts for the holistic needs of psoriatic disease, as well as share insights into how advocacy and awareness can drive change in treatment access and care standards.  The intent of this episode is to identify how clinical severity classifications of psoriasis are evolving to meet the needs of those who live with the disease and how that change impacts overall management. This episode is sponsored by Takeda. Timestamps: (0:00) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered and guest welcome to dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong, Vice President of Takeda, Dr. Benoît Guérette, and patient advocate Jensen, who discuss the unmet needs of people with moderate psoriasis and how as a community we can better serve those living with the disease. 2:22 How health care providers and the biopharmaceutical industry are coming together to address systemic eligibility and the unmet needs of people living with psoriasis. 4:25 Quality of life should be included when assessing clinical severity in psoriasis and identification of appropriate treatment choices. 6:52 The impact of misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, and effect on high impact sites can be life- altering. 8:30 How appropriate treatment and knowledge can make all the difference when diagnosed with plaque psoriasis.  9:40 Views on the psoriasis disease classification system and how it's evolving to include real life impact from physical and emotional needs, to more personalized care for those living with psoriasis, even when small body surface areas are involved. Severity isn't defined by skin coverage alone. 12:38 What's needed to prioritize the care and outcomes of people living with psoriasis. 14:18  The future of management and care for psoriatic disease. 15:53  "My skin tells a story." Wisdom from what I wish I had known previously. 16:52  Moving closer to care that truly reflects the lives and needs of those who live with psoriasis. Key Takeaways: ·       Severity of psoriasis isn't defined by skin coverage or body surface area (BSA) alone. The impact on quality of life should also be considered in the assessment, selection of treatment, and management of the disease.  ·       The psoriasis disease classification system is evolving to be more of a patient centered approach.  Many clinicians are now using the International Psoriasis Council (IPC) or 2 bucket approach to identify whether someone should receive a topical or systemic treatment based on location and response to treatment, as well as impact on quality of life.  ·       With continued research and  development, the next 5 to 10 years could see a shift in effective treatment options while also treating sooner to initiate better outcomes for people living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Guest Bios:   April Armstrong, M.D., M.P.H. is an internationally renowned dermatologist and clinical researcher who is a Professor and Chief of Dermatology at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) where she specializes in inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

She has conducted over 150 clinical trials and published over 350 high impact articles in scientific journals. Dr. Armstrong holds multiple leadership positions including the immediate Past Chair of the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board, Co-President of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA), councilor for the International Psoriasis Council, and board member for the International Dermatology Outcome Measures and the American Academy of Dermatology.  Benoît Guérette, Ph.D. is an accomplished leader in medical affairs with extensive experience across academia and the pharmaceutical industry.

She was a competitive swimmer from elementary through high school and in the last 2 years of high school played lacrosse. Upon finishing high school she attended college becoming a registered nurse in an intensive care unit. Jensen wants "youth living with psoriatic disease to feel a  community that is behind them and with them every step of the way. I really want to be able to make a difference in a way that would've helped me as a child when I was diagnosed."

In this episode of Voices of Otolaryngology, host Rahul K. Shah, MD, MBA, AAO-HNS/F EVP and CEO, talks with Karen A. Rizzo, MD, a seasoned private practice otolaryngologist and past president of the Pennsylvania Medical Society. Dr. Rizzo, who is also Past Chair of the AAO-HNS Board of Governors, shares her journey from being encouraged by a mentor during residency to representing otolaryngology at the state level and eventually becoming the first otolaryngologist—and only the fifth woman—to lead the nation's oldest state medical society. Dr. Rizzo offers candid insights into why advocacy matters, how to get involved even when it feels intimidating, and the strategies she uses to build relationships with legislators and community leaders. The discussion covers her experiences testifying on scope-of-practice issues, the role of county and state medical societies, and how physicians can start with simple steps like joining local organizations or hosting legislators to make a difference. For otolaryngologists at any career stage, this episode provides an empowering look at how engagement in advocacy not only protects the specialty but also strengthens patient care and professional satisfaction.

When the ground keeps shifting beneath us, courageous leadership means leaning into what's real; our experience, our humility, and our values. Mary Lynn Fayoumi, President and CEO of HR Source, brings decades of wisdom in workplace culture and HR leadership. She guides organizations through disruption with a clear focus on purpose and people, and she shows us how to do the same. We talk about what it takes to lead right now, when answers aren't clear and the pressure to act feels constant. Courage today looks less like having all the answers and more like pausing to process, listening deeply, and staying grounded in what matters most. It's about creating space for others, knowing your true north, and responding instead of reacting. Mary Lynn reminds us that it's okay not to know everything, and that strength often shows up as steady presence, not quick decisions. We slow down, reflect, and lead with calm, curiosity, and a focus on what truly matters. That's how we move forward together. Highlights 1. Calm Is a Superpower - Learn how to find your center and lead from it—even when everything around you feels chaotic. 2. Authenticity Builds Trust - Being real, showing emotion, and admitting you don't have all the answers creates space for others to do the same. 3. Processing Takes Practice - Hear why leaders need built-in reflection time and how routines can anchor clarity in the middle of noise. 4. Humility Creates Momentum - Letting go of control opens the door to innovation and stronger team engagement. It's about leading with people, not above them. 5. Purpose Is the Compass - When the path is uncertain, returning to your mission helps guide every decision with confidence and care.

When High School Musical 2 premiered on Disney Channel in August 2007, it shattered records with over 17 million viewers tuning in on its first night — making it the most-watched cable movie at the time. Trading school hallways for summer jobs at a posh country club, the film dives deeper into the personal growth of its characters, especially Troy Bolton. As he's tempted by opportunities that could shape his future, he starts to drift from his friends and Gabriella, leading to heartfelt moments like “Gotta Go My Own Way” and the now-iconic (and meme-worthy) “Bet On It.” With a vibrant setting, high-energy choreography, and a soundtrack that defined a generation, the movie balances summer fun with themes of loyalty, ambition, and staying true to yourself. What sets High School Musical 2 apart from the original is its emotional depth and visual glow-up. From Sharpay's hilariously over-the-top “Fabulous” to the sun-soaked golf course showdowns, the movie feels bigger and bolder while still holding onto the sincerity that made the first film a hit. For many fans, it remains the best in the trilogy - not just for the catchy songs, but for how it captures the confusing transition between teenage fun and adult choices. At its core, it's a feel-good reminder that success means little if you lose yourself along the way.   Takeaways: Unlike the first movie, High School Musical 2 explores personal ambition and integrity. Troy's internal conflict between chasing opportunity and staying loyal to his friends adds emotional depth that resonates with viewers growing up alongside the characters. The entire movie takes place in a wealthy country club, with Troy and his friends working as staff while Sharpay enjoys every luxury. This creates a visible tension between socioeconomic classes - particularly when Troy is offered elite opportunities at the expense of his peer group. The summer setting shows that learning and personal growth don't pause when school is out. How we support students in extended learning environments (internships, summer programs, real-world exposure) can have lasting impact. Gabriella choosing to walk away from what doesn't align with her values is a powerful example of student agency. When schools give students meaningful choices in their learning and extracurriculars, they're more likely to take ownership of their growth.     About Erin Jennings, IIDA, AIA, NCIDQ, NCARB: Erin Jennings, IIDA, AIA, NCIDQ, NCARB is an Architect, Registered Interior Designer, and Principal for Luminaut, believing that design is just as much about the way something looks as it is about how it functions. Her commitment to that philosophy has yielded the award-winning designs of numerous university, library, and k-12 projects. Her design efforts are motivated by a desire to create conscious impact on the end-user experience. Community environments are the spaces in which Erin's leadership skills and her interdisciplinary approach have had the most positive influence on the greatest number of people.  She's highly involved in industry and community organizations both regionally and nationally, and through regular attendance and speaking engagements at thought-leadership conferences.  She currently serves on advisory boards, closely monitors building trends, space planning techniques, and continually studies and tests innovative products, all while keeping the protection of the public at the forefront of mind.

Erin's continued deep-rooted passion subsists in mentoring young professionals, and most recently, teaching students in the collegiate setting. As an Adjunct Instructor of Interior Design at the College of Architecture & Planning at Ball State University, she strives to bridge the disciplines of architecture and interior design, not to advocate that one can do another, but to advocate the value-add when the two work in harmony with one another.  Erin has committed her life and career to advancing the design industry. From her dual degreed experience at Ball State, to the licensing and certification process for both interior design and architecture, she strives to engage at the highest level.

At RSAC 2025, the most urgent signals weren't necessarily the loudest. As ISACA board member and cybersecurity veteran Rob Clyde joins Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli for a post-conference recap, it's clear that conversations about the future of the profession—and its people—mattered just as much as discussions on AI and cryptography.More Than a Job: Why Community MattersRob Clyde shares his long-standing involvement with ISACA and reflects on the powerful role that professional associations play in cybersecurity careers. It's not just about certifications—though Clyde notes that employers often value them more than degrees—it's also about community, mentorship, and mutual support. When asked how many people landed a job because of someone in their local ISACA chapter, half the room raised their hands. That kind of connection is difficult to overstate.Clyde urges cybersecurity professionals to look beyond their company roles and invest in something that gives back—whether through volunteering, speaking, or simply showing up. “It's your career,” he says. “Take back control.”Facing Burnout and Legal Risk Head-OnThe group also addresses a growing issue: burnout. ISACA's latest research shows 66% of cybersecurity professionals are feeling more burned out than last year. For CISOs in particular, that pressure is compounded by personal liability—as in the case of former SolarWinds CISO Tim Brown being sued by the SEC. Clyde warns that such actions have a chilling effect, discouraging internal risk discussions and openness.To counteract that, he emphasizes the need for continuous learning and peer support as a defense, not only against burnout, but also isolation and fear.The Silent Threat of QuantumWhile AI dominated RSAC's headlines, Clyde raises a quieter but equally pressing concern: quantum computing. ISACA chose to focus its latest poll on this topic, revealing a significant gap between awareness and action. Despite widespread recognition that a breakthrough could “break the internet,” only 5% of respondents are taking proactive steps. Clyde sees this as a wake-up call. “The algorithms exist. Q Day is coming. We just don't know when.”From mental health to quantum readiness, this conversation makes it clear: cybersecurity isn't just a technology issue—it's a people issue. Listen to the full episode to hear what else we're missing.Learn more about ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808⸻Guest: Rob Clyde, Board Director, Chair, Past Chair of the Board Directors at ISACA | https://www.linkedin.com/in/robclyde/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ISACA: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/isacaStay tuned for an upcoming ITSPmagazine Webinar with ISACA: https://www.itspmagazine.com/webinarsISACA Quantum Pulse Poll 2025 and related resources: https://www.isaca.org/quantum-pulse-pollISACA State of Cybersecurity 2024 survey report: https://www.isaca.org/resources/reports/state-of-cybersecurity-2024Learn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:sean martin, marco ciappelli, rob clyde, rsac2025, burnout, quantum, cryptography, certification, isaca, cybersecurity, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage? Learn More

The public relations industry has long been recognized as a female-dominated field, with women making up approximately two-thirds of the workforce. However, when it comes to leadership, women remain significantly underrepresented, comprising just one-third of top-tier roles. This disparity raises critical questions about the systemic barriers that prevent women from rising to senior leadership positions in PR agencies and organizations.In this episode, we examine the challenges faced by women in their careers, the personal and societal factors that hinder their progress, and the strategies they've employed to overcome these obstacles. Sue Heuman is a strong female leader in the PR industry, a designated Master Communicator through IABC, Past Chair of the IABC Global Communication Certification Council, and an executive leader. Listen For7:35 Where Are the Mentors?9:38 Too Harsh or Too Soft?
