I'm excited to have Andie Crosby join me for a two-part series. In Part 1 today, we dive into why cardiovascular health is the number one longevity lever for women and how it is often ignored until it is too late. We explore the critical role of the endothelial glycocalyx, a microscopic life-sustaining structure that is essential for vascular integrity, the inflammation response, and nutrient delivery.  In Part 2 next week, we will cover how nitric oxide supports energy, sexual vitality, and even skin radiance, and factors that could damage the ability to produce it naturally.  How to Protect and Support the Endothelial Glycocalyx Reduce stress  Manage blood sugar   Prioritize sleep Meditate  Take clinically researched supplements.   Monitor your cardiovascular health with diagnostics and lifestyle tracking to catch and reverse arterial aging before it starts to progress. Bio: Andie Crosby Andie Crosby is a seasoned business leader and passionate advocate for health and longevity.  After decades leading marketing and brand development for companies like Nike, Apple, and Procter & Gamble, her focus shifted in her 40s when she experienced firsthand the impact of hormonal changes, inflammation, and the power of nutrition to transform health.  A simple elimination diet revealed how profoundly food and lifestyle impacted her well-being, sparking a deep curiosity about health and healing.  This led her to the Institute for Functional Medicine, where she became the first Chief Marketing Officer.  Over ten years, Andie built IFM's marketing and partnerships teams, driving a 13-fold increase in practitioner education and advancing personalized, systems-based care.  Today, as President of Calroy Health Sciences, Andie leads innovation in cardiovascular and joint health.  Her mission is to raise awareness of the vascular system's foundational role - not only in disease prevention, but also in longevity, brain health, and performance. She believes we have the tools to change the trajectory of our healthspan and empowers people to take control by asking the right questions.  Andie brings a relatable, purpose-driven perspective on living longer, better, and embracing midlife as a powerful opportunity for health transformation.  In this episode: Why traditional health measures do not always reveal hidden cardiovascular risks The value of vascular age testing to uncover silent inflammation and plaque in arteries How lifestyle and stress factors can silently impact heart health over time. How perimenopause and hormonal changes dramatically increase cardiovascular risk in women Why cardiovascular disease is often overlooked until it's too late What advanced diagnostics can reveal beyond a standard blood panel How emerging knowledge about the endothelial glycocalyx is reshaping our understanding of vascular health The benefits of supplements, meditation, stress management, and improving your diet to reverse arterial aging Links and Resources: ⁠⁠Your Longevity Blueprint Omega 3s – 60 capsules ⁠https://yourlongevityblueprint.com/product/coq10-100-mg/ Guest Social Media Links: Calroy Health Sciences on Instagram Calroy Health Sciences on Facebook Relative Links for This Show: Use this link for 10% off (And a Free Bag of Oral Microbiome Gum) Follow Your Longevity Blueprint  On Instagram| Facebook| Twitter| YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online   Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray  On Facebook| Instagram| Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast production by Team Podcast

Nancy Griffin—former Procter & Gamble manager, community leader, and now longtime wealth advisor—has dedicated her career to helping women claim their worth, protect their health, and build the kind of wealth that supports a joyful, generous life. Inspired by her trailblazing mother, Nancy founded Women, Worth & Wellness® back in 1994 with a simple but powerful belief: health and wealth are inseparable. For decades, she's been educating women on everything from heart health to charitable giving, guiding them to grow not just their net worth, but their self-worth. Nancy is a connector, an influencer, and a champion for Daring & Caring Leaders. Her courage, determination, and joy infuse everything she touches—whether she's supporting women through major life decisions, partnering with health organizations, or encouraging women to step into leadership with confidence. You'll hear why trusted advisors matter, how women can build lasting legacy, and why Nancy believes every woman deserves to feel fabulous, informed, and on top of her game every single day.  So Call IT in!  “Call IT in With Dar!” The LoveTunerThe Lovetuner is a simple flute is considered to be the vibration of love and compassion.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Le shutdown est enfin terminé (Trump l'a dit, donc c'est vrai), les fonctionnaires américains redécouvrent leur mot de passe Windows, et pendant ce temps… la Bourse fait comme si de rien n'était. Mais attention : pendant que Wall Street fait sa diva, la rotation sectorielle joue les troubles-fêtes. La tech fait la sieste, les investisseurs se réveillent value, et soudain le marché se souvient que Coca-Cola existe. Oui oui : la value, c'est sexy maintenant. ➡️ L'Europe flambe (France +3,5 %, Suisse +4 %, Italie en orbite). ➡️ Les USA patinent (sauf le Dow Jones qui vit son meilleur moment depuis son divorce de 1999). ➡️ L'Asie flippe ses valorisations. ➡️ Le pétrole fait un malaise à 58$. ➡️ L'or remet sa cape de valeur refuge, façon "Batman mais en plus cher". ➡️ Et Cisco, la momie de l'an 2000… revient d'entre les morts avec +1,3 milliard en commandes IA et un flirt public avec Nvidia. Bref, tout le monde joue DEFENSIF. On ne sait pas combien de temps ça va durer, mais en attendant, Nestlé, Procter, McDo et Johnson & Johnson ressortent du placard… et prennent la lumière. Et pendant que vous lisez ce texte, quelque part dans le S&P500 : un trader essaie encore de comprendre pourquoi AMD a d'abord baissé de –2,7 %… avant de prendre +9 % quand quelqu'un a finalement lu le communiqué jusqu'au bout.

This week on Innovation Storytellers, I sit down with Robyn Bolton, Founder and Chief Navigator at MileZero, to uncover how one of the most successful household products almost never made it past the boardroom. Before launching her consultancy helping leaders of large companies use innovation to drive consistent growth, Robyn was part of the Procter and Gamble team that created and launched Swiffer, a product that changed how millions clean their homes and reshaped the way corporate innovation is judged. Robyn takes us inside the high-stakes moments at P&G when the data said Swiffer would fail while real-world tests told a completely different story. She describes how passionate storytelling, courage, and evidence from the field ultimately won the day. In that pivotal boardroom, one leader even put his career on the line to ensure the product's launch, proving that innovation is as much about conviction as it is about numbers. We also explore the cultural lessons from Swiffer's global rollout, including why the product thrived in the United States but struggled in Italy, where cleaning was seen as an act of devotion rather than efficiency. Robyn explains how understanding emotional and social context can make or break a global innovation. Her insights extend beyond consumer products to any leader trying to turn bold ideas into scalable reality. In the final part of our conversation, Robyn reflects on her years working with Clay Christensen and why she continues to champion the "Jobs to Be Done" framework. She shares how innovators can use storytelling to connect with hearts and minds, and how companies can equip internal champions to advocate for change. This episode is a masterclass in balancing data with belief, logic with emotion, and vision with timing to bring truly transformative ideas to life.  

“We are always waiting for someone to define the direction, versus saying ‘What am I going to do?' — I've never asked what my work plan is — if there are no user manuals, how would you live your life? Sandeep Seth is Chief Growth Officer and President of Tapestry International—the parent company of Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman. Before Tapestry, Sandeep spent over two decades at Procter & Gamble, where he rose through local, regional, and global marketing leadership roles across India and Singapore—eventually becoming Global CEO of SK-II, P&G's prestige skincare brand. You'll enjoy this candid conversation about the lessons behind Sandeep's remarkable journey—from being placed on a performance plan early in his career to leading some of the world's most iconic luxury and beauty brands. His turning point? Realizing that having a strong point of view—and voicing it—is just as critical as delivering great work. You'll hear about how marketing leaders blend logic and magic, why emotional resonance is the real currency of brand-building, and how true business acumen comes from connecting the dots across an organization rather than chasing every new tool. A graduate of the Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (MBA) and Jadavpur University, Kolkata (Civil Engineering), Sandeep brings a rare mix of analytical rigor, creative instinct, and humility to his leadership philosophy. If you're thinking about stepping into a bigger role—or simply want to become a more intentional marketing leader—this episode is packed with sharp, grounded insights from someone who's lived it.This episode is hosted by P&G Alum Sudha Ranganathan, who's spent over 19 years in diverse Marketing leadership roles at companies like P&G, PayPal, and LinkedIn where she's honed her passion for customer-centric marketing and talent development.

Er erzählt von drei zentralen Learnings: - dem „Schwarzen Loch der Annahmen“, - der „inkonsistenten Selbstreflexion“ - und dem „unterschätzten Wert von Beziehungen“.

It's official: The physical luxury hierarchy is dead. From Tokyo to London, the new "it" bag isn't Hermès, it's the humble, canvas Trader Joe's tote. We unpack the theory we predicted in 2023: that ubiquity killed the classic status symbol. This is your permission slip to ditch the designer bag and flaunt the merch that signals you're cultured and diverse.The new luxury isn't about buying expensive things; it's about intangible assets like being well-traveled and "in the know."(NOTE: In this episode, we incorrectly stated that the Chanel CEO was previously at Procter and Gamble.

The consumer sets the price. That simple truth reframes how we think about brand strength and its real business impact.In the third episode of The Brand Builder's Playbook, hosts Jim Stengel and Ryan Barker, along with guest co-host Cait Lamberton (Professor of Marketing at Wharton), unpack one of the most powerful—and often misunderstood—outcomes of strong brand building: pricing power.Our guest this week is Sandeep Seth, Chief Growth Officer at Tapestry (parent company of Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman), who joins the conversation to share lessons from his decades at Procter & Gamble and his current work revitalizing iconic fashion brands. Together, they explore how differentiation, brand love, and consumer perception translate into a brand's ability to command a premium.From conjoint analysis to luxury pricing strategies, and from mass-market cosmetics to premium handbags, this episode dives into how pricing becomes both a signal and an outcome of brand strength. Listeners will walk away with fresh insights on how to connect strategy to pricing, reduce price sensitivity, and build long-term brand value.True pricing power doesn't come from spreadsheets—it comes from the trust and love consumers place in your brand.---Download this week's worksheet: Read about upcoming episode topics and guests here: https://bera.ai/podcast/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From corporate executive to wealth and wellness visionary, Nancy Griffin's journey is a powerful example of what happens when women choose courage over comfort and clarity over perfection.In this episode, I sit down with Nancy, the founder of Women, Worth & Wellness®, to talk about the deep connection between health, wealth, and self-worth. Nancy's story began in the corporate world at Procter & Gamble, where she climbed the ranks but felt the pull toward something more meaningful. Her decision to leave corporate life and eventually create a space where women could lead, give, and grow with confidence has since impacted countless lives.What I love about Nancy's story is how honest she is about the turning points that shaped her. She speaks candidly about the advice that once held her back, the glass ceilings she pushed through, and the moment she realized that courage was the key to everything. From running for political office to stepping into entrepreneurship, Nancy shows us that reinvention is not just possible but essential for women who want to lead on their own terms.Throughout our conversation, Nancy shares practical wisdom that every woman should hear. She reminds us that wealth management is not simply about investments but about stewardship, confidence, and understanding the bigger picture of your life. Whether she's explaining how to build trust with advisors, start saving with whatever you have, or integrate health and wealth as one holistic journey, her insights are grounded, empowering, and deeply human.Nancy's perspective is a beautiful reminder that courage is the bridge between self-worth and success. This conversation will inspire you to step into your power, make bold financial decisions, and care for yourself as your greatest asset.Tune in to hear Nancy's incredible story and learn how to lead and live with more purpose, confidence, and joy.Chapters
