Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a trio of cozy mysteries by Claudia Gray, all starring Jane Austen characters: The Murder of Mr. Wickham (2022), The Late Mrs. Willoughby (2023), and The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bough (2024). These are an absolutely delightful (and non-stressful) way to revisit these characters, and there's even a little helping of romance. Mentioned: Death Comes to Pemberley, another contemporary author's take on an Austen-themed mystery.​Terri's random recommendation is Artful Plus, the premium version of Artful Agenda, a digital planner we both use. With Artful Plus, you get a habit tracker and the ability to make and use your own stickers, among other perks. Mentioned: The Artful Agenda Facebook group, Artfully Obsessed.​​In the archives, we discussed an episode from 2020 on how parents can pay it forward (which we think is more helpful than starting or participating in a drive-thru pay-it-forward chain). Mentioned: Books from our former co-hosts: Inclusion in Action by Nicole Eredics and Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools (January 2025) by Amanda Morin.Next week's lineup: Lost S1 E23, "Exodus: Part 2," on Tuesday, December 17Shrinking S2 E6, "Get in the Sea," on Wednesday, December 18Weekly roundup on Thursday, December 19Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Tarence Wheeler.  He is a highly respected professional with over 20 years of experience in community relations and philanthropic activities, specializing in community and corporate partnerships and relationship building. He is a former Mayoral Appointee, serving as the community relations liaison for Mayor Dave Bing and the City of Detroit. Mr. Wheeler has extensive experience in community outreach, mentoring, and fostering partnerships to support educational achievement. During the pandemic, he led the effort to distribute over 15 million meals to the downriver community via a partnership with Forgotten Harvest. He founded the All-Star Giveback Thanksgiving Turkey Drive, which currently provides over 3,000 turkeys with all the trimmings to families in need. Although Mr. Wheeler has been seen serving on a national level with celebrities and the like, his greatest passion is in helping to enrich the lives of at-risk young people in communities throughout the Metropolitan Detroit area. He is often inspiring and motivating students at Detroit-area schools, using a transparent and authentic approach to reaching young people and ‘meeting them where they are'. His first-hand knowledge and experience with growing up in a less-fortunate environment increased his ability to make a direct connection with his young audience.

Chad and his wife Kim were the former owners of Marco Rubber & Plastics, a o-ring and seals provider, which they turned into a high-tech supplier of industrial products. With tremendous access to products that they both had in their inventory and that their suppliers had in their inventory, they turned Marco Rubber into a marketplace platform for the industrial products industries they served (think of the way Kayak is to travel). You will hear Chad describe himself as neurodiverse. I described him with great love, as I describe both of us as…ADD, dyslexic misfits who would have a hard time working for anybody else. Chad dives into his process of building authenticity and earnestness through the awkwardness of being neurodiverse and coming into the business to help Dad and the family after his mom passed and his father became terminally ill. As in many of our client's journey's go, after 20 years Marco Rubber became an overnight success and had a capital gain transaction with a private equity firm where he and Kim continue to own a percentage of the company and have board seats while the company continues to grow. I think it's true that the company is now about three times the size that it was when they did a transaction about three years ago. Chad goes on to share about his world “post exit,” and how for him it was really an opportunity for rebirth and to articulate the beliefs that he developed over the years of building the business. He'll tell you about how he is gathering all of this knowledge and experience and creating opportunities for other neuroatypicals in his new, not-for-profit, what he calls www.atypicalpath.org (website still in development) I really hope you enjoy this incredibly dynamic interview with one of the most insightful EOMs you'll ever want to meet.

Drew has already saved lives by sharing part of his story in Ups and Downs.
