Fix SLP was never just about making noise—it was built to challenge systems that gatekeep, exploit, and mislead. In this foundational episode, Dr. Jeanette Benigas and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, explain why the CCC isn't just unnecessary—it might be illegal.We walk through the Sherman Antitrust Act, our official complaint to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and how we allege ASHA's CCC requirement may violate federal law by restricting access to jobs, supervision, and professional advancement in speech-language pathology.We expose the financial structure behind ASHA's business model, the myth of the clinical fellowship year, and how the CCC props up a pay-to-play system that disproportionately harms new grads, small business owners, and anyone without institutional backing.This is the legal case that lit the fire behind Fix SLP, and we're just getting started.Find Fix SLPs resources for students and new grads here.Want to earn some PDHs or CEUs with a discount?

This episode features an interview with Preston Lewis, Founder and CEO of Intactic, a modern communications company focused on creating human-centric experiences for people at work. Over the last 20 years, Preston has partnered with respected companies to develop and implement communication and behavior change campaigns. He is a sought after employee engagement, internal communications, and enterprise transformation expert and can often be found speaking about the future of work.In this episode, Amanda sits down with Preston to discuss the modern employee experience, investing in technology and upskilling teams, and how to create a human-centric work experience.-------------------“We think of [employee experience technology] as a three-legged stool. And of those legs, there's one typically owned by IT, there's another typically owned by People or the HR function. And then a third, we can frame it as Communication, sometimes we frame it as Change. What we do know to be true is that if any of those legs are a little bit shorter than any of the others, that seat isn't flat. And that seat is where employees sit. We as employees are customers, if you will, for using that technology. When we think about employee experience, that's a nice visual we like to have. Not only in terms of one leg being shorter, but if one doesn't exist, then we can't do the right work the right way. What we've seen is organizations that subscribe to a modern employee experience philosophy, it just makes sense. There is a role for different functions to have and we're constantly tuning into which of those legs is as effective as it needs to be to balance out that experience for people.” – Preston Lewis-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:33): Preston explains the modern employee experience*(11:35): Segment: Story Time*(12:19): How Intactic is creating a human-centric experience at work *(19:54): Segment: Getting Tactical*(24:57): Key partnerships of employee experience technology *(31:15): Segment: Ripped From The Headlines*(36:18): AI use cases in employee experience*(42:21): Segment: Asking For a Friend*(42:36): What internal comms technology will look like in the future-------------------Links:Connect with Preston on LinkedInLearn more about IntacticListen to TechVerified podcastListen to New State of Work podcastConnect with Amanda on LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast

Technology and exercise have become inextricably linked during the past three years. From wearables, to connected fitness equipment, to even zoom workouts with a client, many of us can't imagine fitness without some type of technological integration. Our guest in episode 83, Ryan DeLuca, thinks the next technological innovation we should be looking at in the fitness industry is virtual reality. In fact, as Ryan points out in this conversation, it's already here. If Ryan's name sounds familiar to you, it could be from his previous company, bodybuilding.com, which he founded in 1999, and sold in 2015. Ryan's taking that entrepreneurial success in the fitness technology space and shifting it to the virtual reality segment withthe founding of a new company, Black Box VR Fitness.In this episode we'll explore virtual reality's application to fitness and exercise, particularly as a way to make exercise more enjoyable for non-traditional exercisers, leading to greater long-term compliance. We'll also dive into how fitness professionals should consider approaching this technology right now and, in the years to come, as itprogresses. Technological advances don't have to be a scary thing, and they certainly won't put fitness professionals out of job, if they know how to interact with emerging technologies, like VR. That is the primary goal of this conversation; to give fitness professionals a look over the horizon of a fitness technology that is fast emerging in the marketplace. You definitely don't want to miss Ryan's insights in this exciting area! Show Notes Page: https://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/podcast/episode/83Our Guest: Ryan DeLuca  Ryan DeLuca founded Bodybuilding.com in 1999 in his garage in Boise, Idaho at the age of 20.

In this episode, guest Ryan Deluca gives an inside glimpse of growing an ecommerce fitness supplement business from scratch at age 20 into a company he sold for 9 figures, 17 years later. His story begins with him acquiring the domain name, Bodybuilding.com, for $20,000, in 1997, when the internet was just coming to life.   Host John Cerasani,  a venture capitalist, commends Ryan for acting on such a vision, bootstrapping without any other investors, to revolutionize the fitness industry online at such a young age, saying: “There are people who have the ideas, and there are people who can execute the ideas of others. But, there are very few who can execute their own ideas.” Topics covered in this interview: Three key elements of BodyBuilder.com that made it successful: content (including forums and articles designed to replace those in muscle magazines), commerce and community.  The truth about the old saying “It takes a decade to become an overnight success,” with Ryan sharing the many years of sleepless nights fearing he couldn't make payroll. “I was continually paranoid, always aware that there were new competitors…in 17 years, I never felt that I could take a break.” The sale of BodyBuilder.com first in part to an equity partner, where he retained 72 percent ownership, and later to Liberty Media. The challenges of being retired at 35, after the sale, with Ryan feeling a loss of purpose and not wanting to model to his young children being a dad sitting around with lots of leisure time doing nothing. He called those six months, “the most depressing of his life.”  John also shares his angst that followed after he sold his insurance company, and had days of feeling like “a walking dead man.” Ryan's new business, Black Box VR which he co-founded with Preston Lewis, another fitness fanatic, who helped him grow BodyBuilding.com.   The new company is self-funded, but Ryan will be looking for investors as they expand into more locations. Right now, he is still sorting through the complications of a new technology where he has to create all the tools for using it well. Using artificial intelligence and “magically immersive technology,” Black Box VR pairs resistance training, gaming principles and high intensity cardio, for people trying to reach their health and fitness goals. Here is one of several YouTube videos that describe these unique workouts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJk8ftK-yIE In simplest terms, Ryan describes Black Box VR as “playing a really exciting video game with resistance training and cardio to get a really good workout,” which takes the boredom out of getting and staying fit. Gyms in these areas have free tryouts of the new Black Box VR: Boise, Idaho San Francisco, California Phoenix, Arizona Oceanside, California John encourages other gym owners to consider offering Black Box VR as a way to differentiate themselves. Home versions of the product are in development, but not yet available.

Preston Lewis is the cofounder and Chief Creative Officer of Black Box VR—a virtual reality fitness experience. Black Box VR’s innovative technology represents the world’s first fitness virtual reality space that uses real weight. They have invented a dynamic resistance machine that pairs with virtual reality game experiences. When the player is in the virtual reality world—wearing the VR headset—they can use their body like a controller with the game responding dynamically to their every move. The cofounders’ background at Bodybuilding.com also means that the fitness aspect of the experience is completely dialed in, with an integrated app to deliver short feedback loops and small victories. Preston is especially proud of the accuracy of reporting from the dynamic resistance machine and the potential to change the face of fitness adherence.
