His answer was simple: do what you can, when you can.Craig walks through his path from Marine to Program Manager at USAA, including how he discovered project management, recognized his transferable skills, and used certifications to translate his experience into a language civilian employers understand. He also shares the mindset shifts that mattered most, why “no” is often redirection, and how steady forward motion builds momentum over time.This episode is for veterans closing out the year feeling uncertain, behind, or unprepared.

On November 7, Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California, the nation's oldest and largest public affairs forum, will host The Asian American Foundation's (TAAF) first-ever AAPI Youth Mental Health Summit. Under the theme “Sparking Solutions Together,” the summit will convene hundreds of experts, advocates, funders, and business executives to address the urgent and often overlooked mental health challenges facing Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) youth. From 2018 through 2022, suicide was the leading cause of death among Asian Americans aged 15–24, and the second leading cause of death among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Yet despite being deeply impacted by the nation's mental health crisis, AAPI youth remain largely invisible in the national mental health conversation, and the data needed to understand their mental health is scarce at best. To fill the gap, TAAF released "Beyond the Surface" in December 2024, the most comprehensive study to date on AAPI youth mental health, which revealed: Nearly 1 in 2 AAPI youth screen positive for moderate depression; 1 in 3 have planned or attempted suicide; Stigma, family pressure, and silence keep many from seeking help; Only 53 percent feel comfortable talking with their parents; Just 1 in 4 have accessed formal care; and 46 percent have never seen a mental health provider. Building on these findings, the November 7 summit will bring together leading experts to spark dialogue on breaking stigma, closing gaps in care, and exploring how community partners and technology are reshaping the ways young people seek and receive support.  Join us online to hear from: Midori Francis, Actor, "Grey's Anatomy" Ryan Alexander Holmes Owin Pierson, Creator and Mental Health Advocate Lisa Ling, Journalist Noopur Agarwal, VP of Social Impact, MTV Norman Chen, CEO, The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) Philip Yun, Co-President and Co-CEO, Commonwealth Club World Affairs Rushika Fernandopulle, MD, Practicing Physician; Co-Founder and Former CEO, Iora Health; TAAF Board Member Juliana Chen, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Cartwheel Perry Chen,Director of Programs and Partnerships, Behavioral Health at Blue Shield of California Rachel Miller, Founder & CEO, Closegap Meena Srinivasan, Founding Executive Director, Transformative Educational Leadership Ayesha Meer, Executive Director, Asian Mental Health Collective Henry Ha, Program Director, Community Youth Center of San Francisco Anne Saw, PhD, HOPE Program Reid Bowman, MPH, CHES, Outreach & Program Manager, UCA Waves Rupesh Shah, COO of Crisis Text Line Tone Va'i, LCSW, Clinician, Samoan Community Development Center Amy Grace Lam, PhD, Chief Program Strategist, Korean Community Center of East Bay Christine Yang, ASW, Korean Community Center of East Bay Christina Yu, LCSW, Clinical Supervisor, Korean Community Center of East Bay William Tsai, PhD, Associate Professor, New York University Cindy H.

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast episode 172! Thomas Scaria Resilience & Accountability Coach | Ultra-Marathoner | Author & Podcaster of Resilience+Rise The High: At the peak of Thomas' career as a Project and Program Manager, he felt invincible. With over a decade of experience and a string of successful projects under his belt, he was on top of the world. His dedication and hard work paid off, and he relished the challenges that came his way. The Low: However, the relentless cycle of managing tasks and navigating complex projects began to take its toll. The thrill of the challenge dulled, replaced by monotony and anxiety. He found himself trapped in a maze with no clear direction, where passion faded and burnout loomed dangerously close. The Mess: In the midst of those, life felt more endured than enjoyed. The once vibrant career Thomas had built seemed to crumble around him. The sense of accomplishment was overshadowed by stress and dissatisfaction. He questioned his purpose and wondered if it was all there was to his professional journey. The Turnaround: Determined to reclaim his life and passion, he embarked on a transformative journey. Drawing from his experience in project management and his resilience honed through conquering 85 long-distance ultra-marathons and marathons, he began to master the art of true resilience. He realized that challenges were not hurdles but stepping stones to a fulfilling life. He redefined his goals, aligned his daily actions with his deepest values, and embraced the power of small, consistent steps forward. Key Milestones: 1) The passing away of Thomas' father & the loss of his job, in less than 24 hours, during COVID. 2) Taking the challenge to do 5 weekends / 5 full marathons (26 miles) to raise money for Cancer research. 3) 111 KM (69 Miles) run challenge, for charity. 4) 2 packs a day smoker, with an unhealthy lifestyle & health issues, to an ultra-marathoner. The Outcome: Today, Thomas brings these hard-earned lessons to others as an Accountability and Resilience Coach. His career is no longer just about professional achievement—it's about personal revolution. Each day is infused with passion and purpose, and helping others navigate their paths with the same determination. Together, we break free from monotony, rediscover passion, and transform professional journeys into enriching experiences. By helping others find their true north and stay the course, Thomas turned his own challenges into a source of inspiration and strength. Thomas is also the author of Resilience+Rise: 26.2 Transformative Miles to Unleash Your Marathon of Life Mindset Life isn't a sprint—it's a marathon, filled with unpredictable terrain, uphill battles, and moments of sheer triumph. And just like any marathon, success in life requires resilience, focus, and the courage to keep moving forward, even when the road gets tough.

Rachel Field, Program Manager, An Episcopal Path Spending time in nature, one sees God's creativity all around us, and so develops an appreciation for the divine intelligence behind the beauty, functionality and mystery of Nature. The Creation Story in the Book of Genesis tells of God creating the heavens, the earth, the fish, the birds, all the other creatures and, finally, man and woman. Children of the Cherokee Nation hear the story of Grandmother Spider, who, they are told, embodies the creative force of the universe, having woven the network that interconnects all living beings and symbolizes the importance of ecosystems, community and relationships. There is something to be learned from these and other creation stories. Reverend Rachel Field joins us to talk about our role in Creation Care. She is the Program Manager for An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice, an initiative equipping church communities to grow in knowledge and skills as they progress along the four-fold path: Prayer, Learning, Action, and Advocacy. Rachel explains these four pillars in detail and draws on diverse approaches for diverse contexts. Those walking an Episcopal Path commit to form and restore a loving, liberating, life-giving relationship with all of Creation, and they collaborate with other faith organizations. Rachel shares her deep wisdom and shines a light by framing our environmental degradation as a “spiritual crisis” and showing us the power of spiritually enlightened engagement. Rachel has more than 15 years of experience leading creation-centered retreats in the Episcopal Church. She is also Owner/Director of Heartberry Hollow Farm & Forest, which is a regenerative farm and retreat center in central Vermont. She holds a Masters of Divinity from Yale Divinity School and a certificate in Contemplative Leadership from the Shalem Institute. She is a member of the Clergy at Parish of St. Mary in Northfield, VT.

Recently DRCOG was awarded a $200 million grant from the EPA aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful air pollutants. Clays focus on heat pumps is based on beneficial electrification and improving the air quality in the Denver Metro area, but he has found himself deep into workforce development and introducing statewide licensing for HVAC contractors in Colorado. Why, because the HVAC industry still is not stepping up to design and install their HVAC product properly. From a licensing perspective it is primarily a health and safety issue, but we will see significant performance improvements if training and licensing take off in Colorado and across the country.
