She also love love loves teaching other creatives how to master the art of editing and storytelling so they, too, can create their own legacy images.Shawna started her career about 15 years ago photographing newborns and soon discovered her passion for creating children's fine art portraits that truly celebrate each family's story. She describes an heirloom as something that represents who you are — a story within a story — and her portraits are designed to become part of a family's legacy.We talk about:The meaning of heirloom portraits — how Shawna blends storytelling with art so the photograph itself becomes an heirloomHer award-winning portrait of a mother and four daughters— the planning, inspiration, and how 90% of that image was captured in-cameraHer creative process — including clothing tips and props to bring her artistic vision to lifeYou can feel the heart in everything she creates, and her approach is such a wonderful reminder that portraits can hold layers of meaning that last for generations.Grab Shawna's gift of a fun collection of composite elements at shawnapearcestudios.com/lucishawna@shawnapearcestudios.comCheck out my gifts on marketing at www.lucidumascoaching.comConnect with Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas: Website Email: luci@lucidumas.comInstagram FacebookYouTubeNew episodes drop every week — make sure to subscribe so you never miss an inspiring guest or a powerful solo episode designed to help you grow your photography business.
Nicholas Pearce, clinical associate professor at Kellogg School of Management, says too many companies—and individuals—lack a clear sense of purpose. He argues “the best companies are ones that not only have a purpose for themselves but also attract and hire people whose individual senses of purpose align with the company's purpose.” This means companies that are not simply profit-driven tend to be more likely to succeed. And individuals who align their daily job with their authentic life's work will be happier and more productive. Pearce is also a pastor, an executive coach, and the author of the book The Purpose Path: A Guide to Pursuing Your Authentic Life's Work.

On episode #178 of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I had a blast chatting with Jonathan Pearce, the thoughtful and forward-looking CEO of Masterlete - and previously the co-founder and CEO of Zipnosis, the company that pioneered asynchronous telemedicine long before it was mainstream. From balancing athlete-grade performance with mental resilience to building a company that refuses to compromise between data and empathy, Jon brings his trademark blend of humility and precision. He also opened up about his own mental health journey, reminding us that resilience isn't just a leadership skill - it's a human one. It's an episode that reminds us - even in a world of algorithms and wearables, the human spirit still defines the win.

Rebel Briefings brings together the latest stories from around the Star Wars universe, including more mail-order musings with Jerry Hancock, a Super See-Threepio, Spoons' Dortmund discussion, a packaging palaver, high value for Vader's saber, Paleetoys Bespin bonanza, and a web of dies.

Today's guest calls traumatic brain injury (TBI) “a silent epidemic”, describing a common yet complex injury that, for many, presents with chronic symptoms. In this episode, host Rachel Land speaks with expert guest Dr. Kyla Pearce, Senior Director of Programs, Research & Operations for the LoveYourBrain Foundation – a national nonprofit that delivers evidence-based holistic health programs for the brain injury community.

Dr. Pearce talks about the under-appreciated importance of social support and the delicate balance of giving students agency without creating overwhelm. She also offers best practices for movement and breath work, and discusses the power of visualization.

I sat down with Dr. Helen Machen-Peace to explore ADHD through an embodied lens - what it really feels like, how it shapes attention and emotion, and how practices from embodiment can help with focus and regulation. We talk about our personal experiences, the shifting understanding of ADHD, and why reframing it from “disorder” to “difference” changes everything. Helen brings insight from her clinical work, and we both share practical ways movement, awareness, and self-compassion can support people living with ADHD. A down-to-earth conversation for anyone navigating distraction, intensity, or emotional overwhelm. For coaches or teachers who want to better understand neurodiverse students.

In today's episode, Les sits down with Will Pearce and Brad Palm from Dreadnode, one of the nation's most advanced offensive AI and cybersecurity companies. Based in the Rocky Mountain West, Dreadnode is redefining how we think about digital defense — by taking the offensive. Will and Brad share their experiences leading red teams at Microsoft, NVIDIA, and within the U.S. Marine Corps, and how those lessons now shape their mission to secure the future of artificial intelligence.From battlefield drones and AI-enabled cyberattacks to the regulatory frameworks that will define the next era of warfare, this conversation explores what happens when AI becomes both a weapon and a shield.Here's a closer look at the episode:From Red Teams to FoundersWill Pearce, former leader of AI Red Teams at Microsoft and NVIDIA, discusses his journey from penetration testing and consulting to building Dreadnode.Describes how the offensive use of AI is a natural extension of red teaming — “offense leads defense.”Brad Palm's Path from the BattlefieldBrad Palm, a Marine Corps veteran and former red team leader, shares how military principles of mobility, attack, and defense translate into cyber warfare.Offensive cyber as a transformational moment — comparing AI's impact to the leap from muskets to machine guns.The Rise of Offensive AIWill breaks down the offensive AI landscape, from code scanning and model manipulation to adversarial attacks on computer vision systems.How more “eyes,” even artificial ones, find more vulnerabilities — accelerating both innovation and exposure.Building a Platform for Cyber ML OpsDreadnode's platform enables organizations to build, evaluate, and deploy AI models and agents with security in mind.Unlike “AI-in-a-box” startups, their approach mirrors ML Ops infrastructure — prioritizing transparency, testing, and adaptability.Their mission: help clients build their own capabilities, rather than just buy black-box solutions.A Collaborative Cybersecurity CommunityWill and Brad note that in AI security, collaboration beats competition.“If you have confidence in your abilities, you don't need to hide anything.”Despite growing investment and consolidation, the founders believe the industry is still expanding rapidly — with room for innovation and partnership.Human + AI: The Future of the BattlefieldBrad connects his defense background to current AI developments, pointing to autonomous drones in Ukraine as examples of real-time AI-driven warfare.Raises ethical and practical questions about “human-in-the-loop” systems and the urgency of explainable, auditable AI in combat environments.Will expands on how regulatory frameworks and rules of engagement must evolve to keep pace with privately developed AI systems.Offensive AI Conference & What's NextHosting Offensive AI Con in San Diego — the first of its kind dedicated to offensive AI research and community building.The team continues to release state-of-the-art research drops, collaborating with cyber threat intel groups and enterprise partners.Above all, the founders share a deep appreciation for their team culture: detail-oriented, relentlessly curious, and dedicated to “winning every day.”Resources:Website: https://dreadnode.io/ Will Pearce - https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-pearce-a62331135/Brad Palm - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradpalm/Dreadnode LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dreadnode
