"It was the most unhinged 15 minutes I've ever witnessed in my life," recounts Christi in reference to "The Sandwich Incident". But the incident happened entirely off-screen! It's one of Christi's most cherished Dance Moms memories, one she has thought about monthly for over a decade! So on the first half of "Kiss or Get Off the Pot", come for Abby's insistence of making children do things they're uncomfortable with, stay for a classic behind the scenes Abby meltdown.The Select team is out this week so the production doesn't have to pay them, but Sarah H and Christy stick around to claim the top spot on the Pyramid. The rest of the placements seem arbitrary at best, Abby is mostly upset that the girls cried after coming in second. The moms point out their attitude probably had more to do with their teacher making a separate team to upstage them after they were on a long win streak.Abby announces they're going to be going head to head once again with Cathy at In10city Dance in Ohio. To spite Cathy she enlists the help of Gino, one of Cathy's former dancers, to perform a duet with Maddie. While the pairing was obviously designed with Maddie, Abby holds auditions for the duet to give the appearance of fairness, but ends up just insulting most of the girls until she arrives at Maddie anyways. Maddie does not like that Abby is insisting she kiss Gino for the performance as it'll be her first kiss, but Abby seems dead set on making it happen for some reason.The other thing Abby is dead set on is making it clear she was on Dancing with the Stars. Not only does she keep bringing it up, but she even themes the group dance around it! Quotes“Everyone was cracking up that you said these were all the books you read. I lied! I lied!" (01:32-1:43 | Christi & Kelly)“That was Kelly's favorite thing about Candy Apples. They would say Candy Apples and Kelly's eyes would light up. She'd go, 'Can we get beef Jerky?!'” (09:59-10:06 | Christi)“I'm so disappointed that 2012 Christi didn't say sloppy seconds. I need to go back and tell Abby she was picking up Cathy's sloppy seconds. That was a golden opportunity to use those words." (24:36-24:46 | Christi)“The children knew that Abby was crying over the sandwich."

“Everyone's gut microbiome is different, their genetics are different, so there's no one-size-fits-all,”    I had the privilege of talking with Dr. Yu, an integrative rheumatologist that incorporates complementary medicine with traditional rheumatology, about his journey with autoimmune disease and how it shaped his unique approach to patient care.   Hearing his story of being diagnosed with gout at 17 and later spondyloarthritis was powerful. His experience pushed him to look beyond conventional medicine. Could diet, lifestyle, and mental health be the missing links in managing these conditions? Dr. Yu found relief through a plant-based diet, which inspired him to dive deeper into integrative and functional medicine—and what he's learned has the potential to transform how we treat autoimmune conditions.   I loved hearing about his work at Rheumission, a virtual clinic where he and his team address not just the physical symptoms of autoimmune disease but also the emotional and psychological factors. How often do we, as practitioners, ask our patients about trauma or stress? Dr. Yu believes those are essential conversations, and his approach has shown just how impactful they can be.   This episode will get you thinking: What if healing isn't about finding the perfect medication but about uncovering the right combination of tools for each patient? Dr. Yu's innovative methods and commitment to personalized care are an inspiring reminder of what's possible when we reimagine healthcare.   Quotes “Everyone's gut microbiome is different, their genetics are different, so there's no one-size-fits-all.” (10:15 | Dr. Micah Yu) “The mind-body medicine piece is so important. Oftentimes, we don't ask about trauma or what our patient's upbringing was... These things are very important. There is so much of our mind that controls the pain. We know that in patients with anxiety and depression, there's higher incidence of autoimmune diseases, and there's inflammation of the brain that is connected to the systemic inflammation of autoimmunity. So, there's these things that we overlook, we don't have time to talk about at a regular doctor's visit.” (11:22 | Dr. Micah Yu) “Being an autoimmune patient, I understand what it's like to live with autoimmune disease, especially rheumatic disease, at a very young age as well. Through all the education, diving into rabbit holes, and nonstop learning, I've realized there's no one-size-fits-all. The same goes for diet—there's no universal solution, as I mentioned earlier. However, there is a theme: a plant-predominant diet rich in phytonutrients can often be helpful. For some, infections might be driving their disease. For others, it could be mental health. You don't know your true potential for healing unless you keep exploring.” (32:25 | Dr. Micah Yu)   Links Free Micropractice Assessment: https://3nb09zv7070.typeform.com/to/P56ItjWi?typeform-source=drlarasalyer.com Infographics: https://drlarasalyer.com/shop/#Infographics   Connect with Dr. Micah Yu: www.drlifestyle.org www.rheumission.com www.myautoimmunemd.com https://www.instagram.com/myautoimmunemd https://www.instagram.com/rheumissionhlth   Connect with Lara:  Website: https://drlarasalyer.com The Catalyst Way: https://drlarasalyer.com/catalyst Instagram: @drlarasalyer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drlarasalyer Linked-In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlarasalyer/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DrLaraSalyer TikTok: @Creativity.Doctor     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

“Everyone has a use case for Hulken, and I think that's what makes it so relatable. The product basically markets itself,” says Alex Schinasi, the co-founder and president of Hulken, as she shares how her simple yet functional rolling tote became a viral sensation. Joining Lindsay Pinchuk in this episode, Alex reflects on her start as an entrepreneur in Israel, where she first learned the importance of responding to customer needs. From launching a side project during the pandemic to growing Hulken into a profitable business, Alex's journey challenges many common assumptions about what it takes to start a successful company. Is a large team really necessary? Or can resourcefulness and focus on a single standout product bring growth? Alex's story inspires entrepreneurs to start small, keep things straightforward, and rethink the need for external funding. Her approach is refreshingly practical, proving that anyone can build something meaningful with determination, adaptability, and a willingness to listen to the market.Quotes“Everyone has a use case for Hulken, and I think that's what makes it so relatable… the product basically markets itself.” (14:22 | Alex Schinasi)“You don't need the big fancy teams. You don't need the six-figure hires. You can hire freelance people for projects. And I say this all the time: figure out what you don't want to do and what you can't do, and find someone who can do it for you, and you will be paying them less than it would cost you to ‘pay yourself.' That's how you grow a big business. That's how you bootstrap a business… Hulken, it's only now, and we're almost at 20 million in revenue, that we're investing in our website. Not a dime was invested in that website until literally right now.” (18:18 | Lindsay Pinchuk & Alex Schinasi)“It's funny, there's that misconception that you need capital to start a company, but it's actually never been easier to start a company with nothing... You observed your customers and you made the pivot. In all of these situations, which is so important, you can just get started. The tools are there.” (20:27 | Alex Schinasi & Lindsay Pinchuk)“You somehow find the strength, right? I think that happens a lot as a founder—that things just seem impossible, and you just find it in you somehow and get through it.” (36:11 | Alex Schinasi)“If you overthink, you're never going to start. Nothing's ever going to be perfect, and you just have to be okay with that idea.” (38:35 | Alex Schinasi)Connect with Alex Schinasi: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/alexschinasiGet on Lindsay's LIST here: https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/foundherforumThere are still a few tickets left for Dear FoundHer... on Tour with Sunny and Jenn on December 2 in Wilmette, IL: https://dearfoundher.ticketspice.com/dear-foundheron-tour-presents-sunny-jennDon't forget to follow Lindsay on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindsaypinchukPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

"Someone is going to jump off a building if Christi walks by," jokes Stephen, but as Christi is quick to point out in some cases that isn't too far from the truth! But could you imagine one of those incidents occurring at the "Happiest Place on Earth"? It's true, and it's just one of many creepy Disneyland occurrences we'll be covering on this week's episode of Beyond the Norm.Now there is a surprising amount of haunted happenings occurring everyday at Disney Parks, like The Haunted Mansion alone might as well have its own wiki page for the real life haunts that inhabit its grounds. So expect this to be the first of MANY Disney themed episodes. So to kick things off we figured it would be appropriate to give a little sampler of every kind of Mickey-themed horror, from the ghosts of children lost on park grounds to the shocking way Disney handles deaths in the park and the lengths they'll go to keep things hush hush. So hunker down and practice your best rendition of "Grim Grinning Ghosts" because this is one ride you may not return from. Quotes“Everyone was a bullied gay kid in middle school, I get it. I was a bullied gay kid and I wasn't even gay. Well you're gay adjacent.” (18:48-18:55 | Christi & Stephen)“I hate Reddit. It's where they hate me the most so I don't normally patronize Reddit but for today I had to make an exception.” (23:07-23:14 | Christi)“It's the ghost of a little boy who has been given the name of Timmy by the cast-members. P.S. there is about eight Timmy ghosts in Disney properties. Every ghost is named Timmy, I don't know why." (23:26-23:36 | Christi)“Now this little boy haunts the Haunted Mansion. Well they always say there's 999 haunts and there's room for one more! Yeah I don't think they really mean that.” (32:28-32:39 | Christi & Stephen) LinksSend us your ghost or weird stories here: beyondthenormpod@gmail.comSubscribe to our Patreon: www.patreon.com/BeyondtheNormPodcastFollow Christi on IG: www.instagram.com/christilukasiakFollow Stephen on IG: www.instagram.com/s_c_mayo Hosted on Acast.

Home Run Inn is a family owned & operated establishment with nine restaurants throughout the Chicago area. They've been making pizza since 1947 and began creating and selling frozen pizzas for grocery store distribution nationwide in the 1960s. Dan is the 4th generation leader of Home Run Inn Pizza. He started in the family business at the age of 13 as a busboy. Home Run Inn's signature square-sliced pizzas originated in the 1940s when the tavern would slice the pizza into small sample-sized pieces to entice customers. The restaurant's frozen pizza was born after a regular customer used to request par-baked pizzas to take to his summer home in Wisconsin. Home Run Inn Pizza has a synergistic relationship between the restaurant brand and the frozen brand and doesn't view the relationship as cannibalistic when it comes to sales for either brand. QUOTES “Everyone who has a restaurant wants to get into CPG. They want to put it in grocery stories. They think it's easy to do CPG.” (Michael) “Our first distributor was our bartender. He would take pizzas after work, walk them down to the corner grocery store and pick up the cash the next day.” (Dan) “Our frozen pizza production facilities model and mirror what we did in the restaurants. My uncle would say, ‘The reason we make it like that is because that's the only way I know how.'” (Dan) “Pizza is like sex. It's all good, but some is better than others.” (Michael) “The (Home Run Inn Pizza) restaurants drive brand awareness on the marketing side for our frozen pizza.” (Dan) “A brand is a promise. Many times, an agency is hired to create that story or build that authenticity. What's beautiful about what Home Run Inn Pizza has, is that (story) is already baked in.” (Michael) TRANSCRIPT 00:00.22 vigorbranding And with some great guests and so I thought well we should keep it going.

Yeah so home run in is a family owned pizza establishment in the Chicago area. We have 9 local restaurants including one that is a partnership in midway airport. We've been in business since nineteen business started in 1927 and pizza business started 1947 and we also along with the restaurants we have frozen pizzas. Ah, in across the country. So we're nationwide with various retailers like Albertson Safeway and they were regional with other retailers like Walmart and um and Kroger and then you know find ourselves in the southeast southwest and covering coast to coast. So. That's the core of what we do. 02:33.18 vigorbranding Yeah, it's it's ah it's it's an amazing story and so it's super near and dear to me, not not only your friend but with Vigor we're we're obviously really passionate about restaurants and restaurant brands. But. Quench another company we own and have started. It's all cpg so you cover both worlds. So this is really super intriguing and as I said near and dear to my heart. But let's talk about how did you get started? Yeah, ah, you're a bus boy at age 13 you would talk a little bit about the the early days of of Dan's career 03:00.41 Dan Costello Sure, um, so yeah, so I think I said a fourth generation. So it's family business so we grew up. We grew up in it. We were encouraged especially very early to come into the business. So I you know I started when I when I was 13 I started. As a bus boy at our original restaurant on thirty first street on the on the southwest side of Chicago there store still there. It's doing really well so grew up on the restaurant side of the business. So that's back in the oh there's probably back around 1984 1985 and my uncle who unfortunately no longer is with us. That's when he really started making a big push to try to take our restaurant product into the frozen ah retail section of the grocery stores. So. He was kind of the driving force behind that 1987 he built our first factory which is behind that original restaurant. Still there today. We still use it. We have a main facility now out in the suburbs of Chicago and Woodridge Illinois but that's ah you know that was kind of the the advent of the frozen pizza goes back. You know quite, it's grounded in the roots of our restaurants you know making par big pizzas for people cooking them halfway people taking them home. So my uncle is just kind of like we got to figure out how to how to do this on ah on a grocery type scale. 04:26.53 vigorbranding Very cool. So okay, it says on here. You're also sausage grinder now some would consider me a sausage grinder my role now but you can talk a little bit about that you started as a kid. You're a sausage grinder this is the sausage thing um from what I understand pepperoni is the number 1 topping in the United States except for. 04:32.37 Dan Costello That's a question. 04:43.31 vigorbranding In Chicago. 04:44.18 Dan Costello Chicago Midwest maybe Milwaukee too I'd have to check with the people there but we know in Chicago the number one pizza dock and sausage. It's it's ah yeah, it dates back I mean it's his historical I mean we just got a lot of ah eastern european that settled here they they went with sausage. So um. 04:48.88 vigorbranding Yeah, yeah. 05:01.70 Dan Costello Yeah I mean we did everything from Scratch. We'd make our dough. You know we blended our sauce and we would one of the jobs I had as a teenager which was Definite. Weve had a butcher shop I worked in the butcher Shop. We'd get In. We'd get in pork and we'd have to take the bones out So and then we'd we. We'd cut it and then we'd. Grind it. So I Guess yeah, it's sausage Grinder. You know that was that was a job in the past. 05:25.88 vigorbranding So I love some of the the history of it I mean it was started in the restaurant I mean I think you told me the story and I've I've noticed it before I knew you would you know go round pizzas but somehow you guys decide to cut them up in little squares. Why why did you do that. 05:42.30 Dan Costello Yeah, so the history on that is you know so my grandfather got out of the war. Um, so nineteen circuit 1945 right and he gets comes back and he's looking for a job and he was you know he's a mechanic by trade. 05:59.10 Dan Costello But he couldn't find he couldn't get a job so he went to work from my motherin-law who owned a bar called the home run in and so he's working at the bar for you know a couple years and he had he he had come. Ah, you know he's from italy from bar italy so he has you know a version of pizza my grandmother encourages him to. Show it to my great grandmother so they start making it in the restaurant and giving it away to get people to come in to drink and um so what they did is they cut it into small tiny squares. That's why Chicago tavern pizzas is cut in squares this listen. You know from our perspective this is how it started for us because they needed it to fit on a cocktail napping. They didn't have plates. They didn't have China they they weren't a restaurant. They were a bar they were just trying to so they're just trying to get people to yeah have a little snack by another beer so that is why our pizzas are cut into. Tiny squares and a lot of the pizzas in Chicago because that's how it was introduced. It was introduced as this we're one of the first pizzas in Chicago we started in 1947 we believe that you know like there might have been another 1 or 2 competitors starting in 44 45 but that's how it came to be for us cocktail mac and head fit. Had to give it away. 07:16.19 vigorbranding That's fantastic. Can you tell tell me the story because again, it's such a cool history. So your Uncle's in the pizza shop talk about how you got into the cpg site the frozen pizza I mean that's like everyone's dream whoever makes or has a restaurant. Ah you know they want to do a dressing. They want to put it in the grocery stores everybody thinks it's. Easy to jump to cpg? How did it all start with you. 07:36.70 Dan Costello So I mean if you really go all the way back. It probably goes the story goes back to the 50 s for us where a customer comes into the restaurant. Um, so my uncle's young at this point and he's just probably hanging out and. The the gentleman comes in and he he wants a pizza and he wants it to bake bake it halfway he tells my grandfather so we call that par bake today you guys just like bake it halfway my grandfather was he said why? Why do you Why don't you want this cooked all way and the guys this was our first frozen customer he goes I want I take it home. I'm going to put it in my freezer my icebox right? and he goes I spend the summers up in Wisconsin so he goes I want you to make me a dozen so I have them for the summer up in Wisconsin and he goes and so our original frozen pizza was ten inches because a ten inch pizza would fit in an icebox because it wasn't freezers back then. So people had ice boxes so that I think my uncle saw that so then the sixty s come around and you know actually we had ah bartenders like hey why don't we make more of these and I'll on my way home I'll stop at the corner grocery store I'll drop them off. And then I'll see how many they sell and on my way back to work the next day I'll pick up the cash and how many they sold and I'll bring it back so that's even our first distributor was our bartender he would take the pizzas back to work. He'd walk him down of the corner grocery store pick him but pick up the cash the next day bring him back. 08:58.73 Dan Costello So my uncle's growing up in the 50 s and sixty s watching this and and restaurant expansion happens in the seventy s he's working on that and he he just has this just this vision that hey there's probably a better way to make these pizzas freeze them. And get him into the local grocery store so he really started investigating that probably in the 70 s and then in the eighty s he starts talking to the local groceries here which back then it was Dominic's and jewel jewels still here. Dominics is no longer here. Um, but those were the 2 big grocery brands. 09:26.98 vigorbranding Straight. 09:34.97 Dan Costello And he starts he starts selling them and he's then starts figuring out how to make it and the only way he could he knew how to make it was to make it like we made in the restaurant which was to make it in this parb bake format. So he'd make them in the restaurant. He'd put them in the oven. He'd parb bake him he'd throw them in the freezer. He'd wrap him and then he'd start selling in the grocery store. But year over year he just tried to figure out how do I do this better How do I get automation in this. How do he so he had to learn this whole thing. So our our frozen pizza production facilities really model and mirror what we did in the restaurants all these years and my uncle would tell you today if he was still with us. He said the reason we make it like that is because that's the only way I knew how to do it. So yeah. 10:13.92 vigorbranding That's awesome. Yeah, and I was fortunate I was actually with you on a tour you gave us a tour and I was able to try it right there par baked and it was delicious then we actually compared went to the restaurant and compared a frozen to the restaurant pizza and I I say this because it's True. Um. Was almost as good and I mean almost as good which I think is says ah a lot. Everyone loves Pizza. You know I've got this terrible saying that that pizza's like sex. It's all good somes better than others right? So I Just think ah ah that that I was amazed how close and how good the frozen pie was and I mean I just was it was it was tremendous. 10:41.78 Dan Costello So let. 10:48.80 Dan Costello And the process real similar so he I give me like he had a very he had a very clear vision on how he wanted to do this and yeah, he spent a lot of years Bc you know equipment had to be developed over you know back in the 70 s and eighty s in order to do this and he was. 10:51.00 vigorbranding Um. 11:05.42 Dan Costello He was integral in working with people and saying this is what I needed to do? How can we do this and you know got us to where we are today. So it it positioned us really well and you know so we have a healthy restaurant brand and now we have a healthy Cpg brand and you know the restaurants really drive that brand awareness in the marketing side for the frozen pizza. 11:11.28 vigorbranding Meet. 11:24.17 Dan Costello That's what why? that's what makes us a little different than a lot of our competitors you know majority. You look at the competitors and in the freezer case. There's really only 1 or 2 that have restaurant background and roots of California pizza kitchens one and that's about it. You know you can find a couple regionals here and there. But. 11:36.74 vigorbranding In this. 11:41.72 Dan Costello There's not a lot of people who do both. 11:43.83 vigorbranding Right? And with all due respect to California Pizza shouldn't really come from California right? It just doesn't feel right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it doesn't feel right? Um, but I mean how but so talk about the the relationship between the restaurant and the frozen product. The cpg product. 11:46.28 Dan Costello I That now you yeah have me way. Yeah will be kind. We'll be kind right? so. 12:02.00 vigorbranding Ah, one drives the other the other drives the other I mean you know it's ah it's ah it's a neat thing because a lot of people have one and they want the other and somehow it's just kind of organically happened with you. 12:10.10 Dan Costello Yeah I mean again, it's it's the way that the business grew I mean we call it our flywheel now you know, really these restaurants you know we started in 1947 you know in today we feed we feed over two and a half million people a year out of our restaurants. 12:25.68 vigorbranding Well. 12:27.81 Dan Costello So You know for us, it's It's if if the most you know, Um, if the deepest level of connection with somebody is like is that type of taste experience. It's a really hard. It's a really difficult marketing um to to duplicate you know. With just pure dollars and say hey try Myself. We're actually feeding like our marketing is feeding people and having them talk about the product and enjoy the product and having create these great experiences at our restaurants which is why we do a lot of a why the restaurants allow us to be parts of the community. You know you know once you're in a restaurant. Yeah we can. We can. 12:47.40 vigorbranding No. 13:03.63 Dan Costello Work with your local lily we can talk to you you know with your school. We can. We can be part of the community which then gets people to understand our brand nor our brand trust our brand and then that trust we we know translates to when they're walking down the frozen ile grocery store. So the synergy there. A lot of people ask us like well doesn't the restaurants hurt the frozen with the frozen hurt the restaurants but we don't see it like that at all, we see it very very synergistically and I you know thankful that our our product translated from a restaurant into a cpg brand. Um. It's a hard thing to do and I know like you said like I've learned from you a lot of people. This is what everybody wants, but it's not an easy trick right? It's very difficult to pull off so I'm sure timing had some of 2 for us I mean we each Joe was an early adopter and moved down this early in the in the career and the life the life cycle of homer in. 13:46.62 vigorbranding So I. 14:00.81 Dan Costello So I'm sure that helped I think the fact that it's a good product. It's a really good product helps I think that we're dedicated and our teammates are dedicated to making it the way we do and to be parts of the community that helps so it's all these pieces have to come Together. You know so you can gain trust with the customer so that they'll they'll continue to invest in you. And continue to purchase that product So That's where it's um, that's how I see him working you know the the parts of our business they're they're complimentary and they both depend on each other. 14:23.73 vigorbranding Little. 14:29.68 vigorbranding Yeah, it's It's very I think it's a very pragmatic way to go about I think it's smart it just they just should feed literally no pun intended off of each other because they're both great brands and the the restaurant might have more history but because the history it allows that. That flywheel if you will to to capture the cpg side and again, yeah, then the product's great so you get the product in people's mouths and the rest is is History. You talk a lot about your uncle and obviously 4 generations of family owned and operated how important is family owned and operated for the brand. 15:06.39 Dan Costello I think it's I mean it's really important I mean we're very proud of it. Um I know the the my brother and my cousins that I work with there's a lot of pride I mean we grew up in it. So it means a lot to us. You know when we don't. Do a good job and we hear from our customers take it very seriously. Yeah I think you can you don't have to own something to you know to care for it that way. But I think it certainly doesn't hurt. You know that we're very invested in it. So it's important to what we do who we are. It's important to our teammates I think our teammates enjoy and like knowing that we're here and that we're involved that we're not absent owners I think that's a really important cultural aspect of a family business if you can be ah, a present owner. Think that makes that's meaningful to the people that are helping you build the thing you know we can't do this without our teammates and we got over 500 and um I kind of view it for us is that we owe it to them to be present and in the trenches with them as we can as we do this every day. 16:14.36 vigorbranding Very cool I mean you know people always say when you own restaurants and restaurants are volaging in my family and it's like you've got to be there right? And then you know couple that with a brand you know when I put my I'll say my marketing hat on a brand is a promise right. And you know, many times an's hired to create that story or try and build that authenticity and what's beautiful about what you have is. It's already baked in I mean again, just right there family owned and operated everyone Cares. It started with the restaurants. There's a story a history a reason for being. And then it just kind of goes from there. It's just so really a natural ah concept and it's It's just it's just Wonderful. We talk a lot you know about controlled expansion for any brand. Um, what are some of the mistakes that you've seen pizza franchises or chains making they're popping up everywhere. Um, when expanding it to say new markets Or. Maybe a new way of doing the same thing or new Concepts and and maybe hit a little bit about what what are your thoughts on expansion I Mean do you have anything that you're looking forward to in the future. Is there anything that you have in back your mind or anything you want to share. 17:18.72 Dan Costello Yeah I mean I think you know we've made plenty of mistakes I mean some of it is. It's you know the the world's changing and how people are using restaurants is changing. So I think you have to be in tune with that like I'm not We're not that interested in open up the 250 see pizzeria anymore like we did back in the 80 s and 90 s right. Have to pay attention to that and sometimes you're a little slow to to identify that trend I mean even though it's been coming for a long time like we're recognizing now for us to grow our restaurants. Um, you know we have to do it differently than what we than where we came from I think you know overall I've always been confused. When I talk to people that are in there the the restaurants side of the business particular and they tell me they're going to a new market and they're gonna open up 50 stores and I'm like that's great, but like like in 2 years or 3 years and like but how do you know? they're gonna work like you know for us, we probably take a much. This might be part of our company culture and history I mean look we've been in business since you know the 1947 started making pizzas and then actually the bar business goes back to 1927 so I just will probably take more of a cautious approach like open up, you know 1 to 3 stores and how they work. 18:19.56 vigorbranding I purpose. 18:32.64 Dan Costello Yeah, how how you doing I Just I've always been fascinated people open up. But again, it's a it's the it's probably most of these are franchise systems are looking old. They have different. They have different desired results than we do and different desired outcomes right? So you know our desired results is when we go to a new market is. 18:38.35 vigorbranding Yeah, yeah. 18:50.88 Dan Costello Is this restaurant going to synergistically support and facilitate growing our frozen Cpg brand and if it doesn't do we need to do it. You know so we have those type of conversations all time because you know the frozen the frozen brand's growing. 18:59.67 vigorbranding Um, right. 19:08.21 Dan Costello And the restaurants we've been a little bit more stable in the last couple of years just trying to get through this pandemic and get through hiring but we're looking at some opportunities where we think we can go to other marketplaces outside of Chicago and do the same thing we did in Chicago by tying our frozen business in our restaurants together. 19:24.87 vigorbranding Love it. 19:27.19 Dan Costello The the biggest kind of the biggest thing we want accomplish is build I Like how you said it earlier a few minutes ago that you know Brand is a promise right? and so that's what we want to do we want to make sure that our brand is building trust with our consumers right? It's a promise to them. So for both the restaurant and the cpg side. So I Think. You know with expansion too like what are you gonna do differently what?? What's the value proposition for people and what value are you going to serve for them and we want to just be in that Position. We're one one of the only pizza brands that we can help you whether you want to come out or you want to stay home or can be there for you right. 19:59.88 vigorbranding And you nailed it to I obviously your goal is not to slap a sign up in every town in America and just ah pump stuff out. It's not a franchise. It's not ah, it's not you know these are company-owned stores for lack of a better word and. 20:03.60 Dan Costello Somebody else doing that. 20:17.95 vigorbranding And I Also think it's really really smart How you look them out as as Marketing. Ah how how they play off each other for the frozen side I think that's ah, a really smart way to go about it. I Love that concept. It just makes to me. It makes all the sense in the world. Um, so okay, I'm going to ask you some a couple questions here and hopefully these these answers don't get you in any trouble. So. There's very very difficult high level pizza questions. Okay pineapple and pizza. Yes, or no all right. 20:36.19 Dan Costello 5 20:43.55 Dan Costello Now Warm pineapple This is gross I'm sorry yeah. 20:49.49 vigorbranding Ah, ah feels feels a little California doesn't it all right dipping pizza and ranch dressing. Yes or no I love it. That's right thoughts on white pizza. Okay. 20:55.21 Dan Costello Now is the cross isn't any good. Yeah, yeah. 21:07.39 vigorbranding Deep dish pizza is that still pizza tough one. 21:13.12 Dan Costello Yeah, sure I think so I'm from Chicago deep dish pizza's pizza. Yeah yeah, yeah, ah, 2 3 times a week 21:13.53 vigorbranding Yeah I was gonna say you could alienate some locals if that one that's a little tough and how often do you eat pizza. Nice and and show he's on pizza you know is that something? Yes, yeah. 21:28.50 Dan Costello Not for me, It's not for me. Yeah, not a lot of people in our market. Do it? Um, but yeah, we we have a little bit of it. But this not much I don't see a lot of it in our stores. 21:39.80 vigorbranding Yeah I think I was like ah more of a big East Coast thing and I felt like it was ah you know, maybe a whole generation ago I remember doing it I remember hearing about it I actually ordered one one time and I love pisa it like 1 of my favorite things in the world was open a box of fresh fresh pie and I did it 1 time and with anov I thought this week exciting. Want to try this. Was god forsaken and I actually like ancho he so I was like no way ever again. Never again. So. 22:00.35 Dan Costello Yeah I just I don't see it a lot I'm not seen it I'm not seeing it come up at that much I mean even when I was you know working in the restaurants every single day small percentage. Yeah. 22:13.43 vigorbranding That's funny all right? So my very last question I'm gonna actually take pizzes off the board here I don't think he should be allowed to say that or answered with that answer. But last question if you had 1 final meal. What would you eat where and why. 22:29.14 Dan Costello Oh man, what would I eat where and why? um, she's I've had that's probably a question I think if you ask me I it probably changes based on my time of year my mood and whatnot. But I think at the end of the day. Unk go with a steak right? You know I'm gonna go with the classic of you know, great steak and steak and fries right? not working I have that I'm not a hundred percent sure we got a lot of choices in Chicago. Um. 22:47.22 vigorbranding This is. 22:54.12 vigorbranding Nice there you go. 23:02.20 vigorbranding Open. 23:02.74 Dan Costello Gibson's comes to mind is one of those a place that just never disappoints. There's this place ah down the city called the vets beef just fantastic. Great owner operator there. So I think those would be a couple things that pop in my head about where I might want to spend a last meal soly I don't have to do that anytime soon. 23:20.49 vigorbranding I Hope not I hope not any last things anything else you want to say anything you want to leave us with. 23:21.36 Dan Costello Night map. Yeah. 23:29.60 Dan Costello Ah, well one and this is fun then really appreciate you having me on it. This is I think for anybody listen this first time ever been on podcast. Hopefully I did. Okay so yeah. 23:35.51 vigorbranding He did. It was fantastic I thought it was great and I I Love you know you one of my favorite people and I always enjoy talking to you So it's a layup right?

Uncovering what we want in life can be daunting when we don't know where to begin, where to turn for guidance, and who to listen to. We take risks, make an effort to fit in, or we are adamant about what we know we want from life. Nevertheless, this journey of life is undoubtedly a spectacular one.  Jay Ferruggia shares his life experiences growing up watching his parents argue all the time, and in the end, divorce, hanging out with kids his age who regularly end up in jail, and as he figures out what he really wants out in life. Tune in as Jay Ferruggia talks about how improv changed his life for the better, and how change can be beneficial. Quotes: “Everyone is not competition, try to help everyone else as much as you can. You'll have a much happier life. It's physically impossible to feel bad about yourself when you're helping other people.” -  Jay Ferruggia "You can't just become the best and stay put. You got to be your own Don King." -  Jay Ferruggia “Listening is a superpower. The better you are at listening to the better people are going to respond to you, react to you, and treat you.” -  Jay Ferruggia Takeaways: Everyone can do great things. Consider how you can be of service to others; because you won't ever be as successful or as happy if you simply think about yourself. Even if you are the best in the world at what you're doing, you have to be bold enough and have enough competence to let other people know you are the best at what you're doing. Your ability to listen could make you become more affable with people. It teaches you to say "Yes" instead of merely shutting someone down with a "No."   Conclusion: Changing for the better requires enough bravery. It involves avoiding those who won't be a good influence on you, having the courage to embark on an unknown endeavor, and understanding the value of individuals in one's life. Above all, it is knowing in the first place and acknowledging that you need to change for the better.      

If you're a longtime listener, you know that I HATE crazy food dogmas. I will say it OVER and OVER again! So, with this conversation, one of the important pieces that I want people to walk away from today is that this is not black and white- are certain foods good or bad for you, should you only eat Organic, you need to eat only after a certain time of day, etc. Food restrictions or diets are not a one size fits all.

“If we all got lawyers then there wouldn't have been a show,” says Kelly about this episode of Dance Moms where Melissa sends the other Moms cease and desist letters. In the viewing room, the Moms had asked Melissa why she wasn't wearing her engagement ring, and Melissa stormed out, while getting in touch with her lawyers. Abby lashes out at both the kids and the Moms in defense of Melissa. This scene sums up one of Christi's fundamental disagreements with the show: the hypocrisy and double standards for different people. Melissa signed up for the same reality show that Christi and Kelly did, yet she hides behind Abby and doesn't play ball, leaving Christi and Kelly to carry the show, engage in the kind of conflict the viewers tune in for, and as a result, look jealous and petty. Christi reveals the real reason Melissa wasn't wearing her engagement ring, why she was so defensive, and the real ‘they' Melissa was referring to on the phone. Nia has a spot in the trio and is so excited about it. All the Moms want her to do well, especially because they know Abby will make her a scapegoat if things go wrong. Taylor, one of Cathy's Candy Apples gets injured, and Cathy immediately wonders how well Kendall will be able to fill Taylor's shoes.  Everyone is wearing so much faux fur, ugly sequins and junky jewelry that Kelly can only touch her cocktail to her lips as she reviews, for fear of passing out. Abby continues to be a verbally abusive hypocrite, her desk remains a waste hazard and she carries her pizza box like it's a book. Quotes  “Everyone just thinks we're being bitches. No, there's a lot more to it than what you think. So this is a good episode for us to give behind-the-scenes takes on things because I think people are going to say, ‘Oh, that makes a lot more sense than what we've watched.'” (10:07-10:21 | Christi) “Honestly, our big night out always was Saturday nights after we finished filming. And we were always so exhausted. We would go and lay in a hotel room, drink wine, and have dinner. Sometimes we'd go out to dinner. Or the mall. We went to the mall a lot with the girls. Yeah, because we were gone and needed clothes.” (20:43-21:09 | Christi and Kelly) “We either had no time to eat, or all we did was eat our feelings.” (30:45-30:48 | Christi) “Abby repeats that she chose this topic since the girls are privileged. And a lot of kids their age aren't. Yeah, who else's parents can 16 grand a year on dance? Yeah, just a bunch of assholes.” (52:02-52:14 | Kelly and Christi) “I just want to point out how excited the producers were that there was an ambulance involved. Oh, yeah. They were really excited. Blood. Ambulance. Drama. Yeah.” (1:24:03-1:24:13 | Christi) “We should have gotten a lawyer to protect us. And we wouldn't have been in the positions we are, but the show also wouldn't be what it is.” (1:28:01-1:28:15 | Kelly)  “Happy holidays if we don't see you. Kisses. I hope Santa puts you on the good list. I'm not sure about us. I think we're on the bad list. Naughty list for the win. At least you'll be in the pit next to me in hell.” (1:33:48-1:34:05 | Christi and Kelly)  Links Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC50aSBAYXH_9yU2YkKyXZ0w  Subscribe to our Patreon: www.patreon.com/backtothebarre   Thank you to Ashley Jana for allowing us to use Electricity!!

Inform and educate your patients. Break down treatment into stages. Make patients feel informed, not sold to. Give patients time to think about treatment.  Quotes: “Everyone hears “complex treatment planning” and they think there's going to be a full-mouth reconstruction. Not true. I've done a lot of full-mouth reconstructions two crowns at a time. And it may take six, seven years to do the whole case. But it was done at a pace that the patient could afford to do it, both maybe financially and emotionally, because sometimes patients really aren't ready to make that full commitment. That's what I mean about helping patients make good choices.” (5:22—5:48) “What I did in the early years, I would do the two crowns and I'd forget about the rest of the case. What's changed is, if we keep the patient's best interest in the forefront of our treatment planning thought process, that was what forced me to learn how to phase treatment. And once I could phase treatment, my case acceptance went up. Because face it, you're going to do a full-mouth rehab, or someone needs that level of dentistry, whatever it is. That's a big ask. And a lot of times, patients simply can't do it. So, therefore, it becomes helpful as a dentist if you can break that down into stages.” (5:48—6:24) “There's an old saying that every full-mouth rehabilitation is a number of single-unit crowns on the same patient. So, if you can start breaking it down to make it easier for you too, [you will] really enjoy starting to take on more complex cases.” (6:24—6:42) “I was teaching at The Pankey Institute, and a dentist said something that I'll never forget. He goes, ‘I try never to take an impression of more than six teeth at a time.' Because for a crown and bridge, if you're going to take a full-arch impression, that's a lot to do and to keep everything dry and get accurate margins. The key to being able to do that is having good provisionals. And once you can master that . . . then you can start to break those cases down to help patients make good decisions.” (6:54—7:29) “[I] have a discussion with [patients] to raise their knowledge level because, quite frankly, they can't make good choices if they don't...

We try to give everyone an A. I always tell my students there's two things happening in my class, getting an A, and learning. Two different things. Because you can get an A and not necessarily learn.” – Dr. Sabine Charles “You have to do a good job and know what your skill set and see whether or not a certification can enhance that.” – Dr. Sabine Charles “You have to know your life. I have clients who are single moms, and they study in their closet. They're hiding from their toddler, because they have to go study for their cert, or they study in their car.

Today's episode is all about something that I see increasingly with Moms, and never really with Dads, but it sorely needs to be addressed, so Dads, feel free to listen in as well. Mom-shaming is definitely on the increase, especially through the internet and social media, and today we'll look at some of its components and I'll share my perspective on what to do if it's happening to you. I begin by looking at the prevalence of ‘identity parenting' in society today, the importance of ‘staying in your lane' and just how difficult the internet and social media make this for everyone, particularly through the algorithms they employ. We'll explore the notion that we, as humans, want to be part of a group, and that currently our groups are so often formed through common ideology where people are getting different takes on the news and care about different things from each other. I dive deep on the causes and concerns with judging others and the futility of debating others online. The current example of where we are all at with COVID-19 protocols perfectly exemplifies the notion that we are all using a goal-risk-reward system to make the best decisions for ourselves and our families, and I recommend that everyone revisit Episode 33 about ‘asking and guessing'. Throughout today's episode, I stress that it's okay for you to set a boundary without making another person wrong, that you need to stay in your lane, and that you can never know everything that another person is dealing with in their lives. In the end, this episode represents the latest installment in my overall goal of helping you stay sane, effective and calm, especially in these uncertain times.   The Finer Details of This Episode: · Currently there is ‘Identity Parenting' · It's okay for you to set a boundary without making another person wrong · The internet and social media have made it so much harder to ‘stay in your lane' · Our groups have moved beyond family-based to be ideologically-based · Our internet algorithms are based on confirmation bias · People are getting different takes on the news · Some parents don't care about the same things as you · Except in cases of extreme abuse, we have to go with the idea that everybody wants the best for their kids · Stay in your lane to stay sane · You don't know another person's situation · Judging others is appealing because it makes us feel better about ourselves · Do not get into these debates on line with people · Navigating the differing protocols surrounding COVID-19 precautions is difficult these days · You want to figure out where you're at with these protocols · All of us are using a goal-risk-reward system · Be very clear about what you need in any given moment · Be flexible · Again, it's okay for you to set a boundary without making another person wrong · You also can't be mad when the other person sets their boundary   Quotes: “Everyone is on edge, and everyone is poised and ready for a fight.” “It feels like every choice we make needs to be defended.” “It just is astounding to me that people assume that we're all seeing the same thing.” “The algorithm is set to increase, to escalate whatever it is you like.” “How about a private message? How about a gentle nudge?” “We can't do it all, and that's what's killing us.” “She needed a hug more than she needed to stay 6 feet away.” “Is the reward worth the risk?” “You can't be in people's heads.” “My interest in helping you guys as parents is to help keep you sane and effective and calm.”   Links: Jamie's homepage -   http://www.jamieglowacki.com/  Oh Crap!

Today on Doing Divorce Different, we hear Part 2 of our conversation with Love Doctor, Duana Welch. Duana discusses how to put together an ad for a dating site and spread the word that you are looking for love. She also digs in on the details of your must-have list and how to not settle for someone who doesn't meet your entire list. In this episode, she gives so many great tips on creating an enticing ad that reflects who you are and what you are genuinely looking for. Tune in as Duana gives us her best dating advice. In this episode: [00:50] The next step for finding love! [3:12] Showing your dating ad to your community of friends and family creates more eyes on finding someone for you. [5:47] What advice does Duana have for photos? [12:25] Prepare yourself before you post your ad. [15:46] How are you determining your “must-haves”? Key Takeaways: Take pictures that show you on a great day, but not on a glamor shot or with filters. Don't mislead people. The photos you use shouldn't be older than 6 months. Put the word FUN in your profile at least twice! If a quality in the person is a deal breaker, do not try to get over it. There's a reason you've been through a divorce, don't set yourself up for that again. Quotes: “Everyone thinks it's a numbers game; they get told it's a numbers game, it is not. It's a knowledge game. What do you know? If you know the right stuff and you can apply it, then it becomes about interacting with very few carefully chosen people.” - Duana Welch “Know your must-haves backward and forward and how you're going to assess them. That list is indispensable. If you try this without a list, you're going to get predictably terrible results most of the time. Do this with a list! And then you can say to yourself, is he kind? That's a must-have and should be on everybody's list. Is he kind? How do I assess that? I would ask him if your ex was here, what would she say was the reason for your divorce? And then I'm going to listen really carefully not only to what he says because that can give me some good insight into who he is and whether it'll work for me. Most people will give very different answers from what someone else says vs. what they'd say.” - Duana Welch Guest Bio: Dr. Duana Welch (pronounced DWAY-nah) is known for dating advice, dating coaching, online dating coaching, relationship advice, relationship coaching, and marriage coaching that relies on science rather than opinion to help men and women find and keep the love of their lives.

We've all grown comfortable working in our loungewear and favorite Lululemons since COVID completely changed work culture. But does that mean you should bid a forever goodbye to the luxury of dressing up and experimenting with your look? Not at all! In fact… it's time you reintroduce the fun of fashion into your everyday life! And this isn't just for vanity-sake…  There's an inherent, powerful connection between how you look and how you feel. On days you don't want to leave your (adorable) pajama set, Netflix and chill is the only thing on your agenda. But when you're meeting friends for a lively dinner or hitting a new vacation spot, you want to pull out all your show stopping wardrobe features! So what's to say you can't find a happy medium (and achieve success along the way)? Playing with style was always in the cards for Katie Allen. Fashion was her calling but chose to check other boxes with a traditional marketing career. So when COVID hit and she was without a job, Katie was left with the time and space to wonder: who am I? And more importantly, how can I deeper connect to that woman I've always known myself to be?  One fateful encounter spent spewing style advice from her bathtub granted Katie the clarity she was looking for. (All the while launching her very own podcast and participating in a business mastermind, by the way!) Katie leant into her truest desire and launched her business designed to empower women by creating their own unstoppable style. And now she's showing everyone how to put on their power with confidence and clarity! I'm so ecstatic to welcome the fabulous Katie Allen onto this week's IHML Show! Not only is Katie sharing her success story, but she educates us on the interconnectedness of our wardrobe with core values. She even shares the connection fashion has to our menstrual cycle. Together we're discussing the importance of styling for success and why it's crucial we experiment with our day-to-day look. If there's anything trendsetting Katie has learned, it's that you deserve to feel like your best self no matter the occasion. So open up that closet and start sifting through the clothes that haven't seen the light of day… because you (and your next-level self) know you've outgrown them and deserve a fresh hot look! In This Episode: [0:51] Katie welcomes us into her stylish world and starts us off with her story! [4:11] The early thoughts and inspiration behind Katie's podcast (before she rediscovered her stylistic calling). [6:53] Katie divulges her true intentions for joining a business mastermind in early 2020— without a business! [9:53] These are some of the shifts Katie underwent under the guidance of her coaches to help her move through her dark times. [13:41] How mind mapping empowered Katie to achieve ultimate clarity surrounding her work with styling! [16:23] Did you know you can manifest your desires with your clothes? Katie explains the deeper connection between them! [20:12] Katie breaks down how to figure out what to wear based upon your instinctual feelings. [22:04] FYI, you CAN dress according to your menstrual cycle according to Katie's expertise! [25:11] If you're stuck in your Lululemon and sweatpants phase, this is the advice Katie has for you to start experimenting more… [31:00] This is Katie's wisdom and guidance on how to create a life better than your dreams  Quotes: “Everyone would always ask me ‘what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do with that degree? Are you gonna move to New York? What are you gonna do?' And I was like, I don't know. I'm just trusting that it's gonna figure itself out.” — Katie Allen  “At the time I was a breadwinner and I really identified with that as a powerful woman.” — Katie Allen  “To make a really long story short, a friend of mine was like ‘Hey, I have a client she's on a photoshoot with to help her pick out what to wear'. And I just was like sending her ideas and helping her strap from my bathtub. And my friend was like, how much do I owe you? And I was like, nothing. I'd do it for free cuz I was in the bathtub and it was fun. And she said, no, Katie people get paid to do this. And it was like the heavens parted. And I was like, oh my God, this is what I was always supposed to be doing. Um, and that is like long story short on how I came back to styling and really have just like immersed myself into using it as a tool to help women just like feel amazing and you know, go after their dreams” — Katie Allen  “Podcasting was a portal for me into really finding myself. And when I started listening, I was just listening to women talk in a way I've never heard like strong women talk. And I was like, ‘oh my God, this is amazing. I think I'm supposed to be doing this too!' I love to be really vulnerable. I have always been an oversharer, and for a long time I felt shame. And in the professional corporate world, people are like, ‘you can't talk like that and you can't say this and you can't say that, it's not professional'. So it became like this outlet for me to just talk about the journey. And quite frankly, I just felt dead inside and I was like, there's gotta be other women who have chased that dream of checking the box and still feel like something's missing.” — Katie Allen  “I never identified with an entrepreneur because I didn't identify with taking risks. I felt really, really safe,  just checking those boxes. And I don't know at what point in my life  I just started to shove down those desires.” — Katie Allen “I think that part of the journey was that I had to go through and go back to the corporate job. I had to negotiate for the money. I had to try to start a business with someone else because I didn't trust that I could run a business by myself.” — Katie Allen  “When I was mind mapping, I was really back to that [important question], ‘what are my real values?' Because I had been in this business mastermind I did feel like I knew what my values were, I knew what I wanted. So [I asked myself] what could I do every day to get back to that?.” — Katie Allen  “I tell my clients all the time: getting dressed for yourself is so much more powerful than getting dressed for other people.” — Katie Allen  “[That mind mapping is when] I had gotten that aha moment of, oh my God, style is so much more than just helping people pick out clothes. It's how we feel in our bodies. We can literally transform our moods and our energy from moment to moment with the colors that we wear, the fabrics that we wear, the clothes that we wear, the sounds that our jewelry makes and all of those things coming together. At that moment it kind of just clicked. And then I realized that style coaching was a whole association. There are people that do this for a living. And I was like, oh my God, where have I been my whole life?” — Katie Allen  “So when I start working with people, I always go back to [this idea that] we have our core values as people that probably stick with us most of our time but then on a day to day basis and what's going on in our lives. I always try to honor the fact that we're multifaceted and we wear different hats, we're doing different things. And I always bring it back to ‘how do you want to feel today?' So one of my clients referred to this as like people have their core desired feelings, she was like, ‘oh, these are like my core style feelings.'  So it's this idea of like, how do you wanna feel today? And then what makes you feel that way physically like your clothes, something that you can adorn your body with. And then it's the physical reminder as you move through the day.” — Katie Allen  “There's nothing wrong with wearing sweatpants or leggings, but I think that you probably know naturally when you have those clothes on, you're like ‘I'm relaxing, this isn't really my creative energy' vibe and that's fine. That's more of just like a relaxing and receiving mode, but sometimes we have to be in creating mode too.” — Katie Allen  Links & Resources Follow the I Heart My Life Show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-heart-my-life-show/id1569047758  Subscribe to the I Heart My Life Show on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/1Zw6fI37FrfVjZMXlMiZZ6 Connect with Emily: Emily Williams Website https://emilywilliams.com/  Emily on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/emilywilliams/  I Heart My Life Website https://www.iheartmylife.com/ I Heart My Life on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/iheartmylife/ I Heart My Life on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/iheartmylifenow I Heart My Life on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/i-heart-my-life/ Join the IHML community to receive exclusive announcements and tips. https://www.iheartmylife.com/newsletter Email: info@iheartmylife.com  Connect with Katie: Find Katie on Instagram ​​Listen to Katie's Podcast: STYLED FOR LIFE  Work with Katie Allen

Nation, for the 2nd week of this year's Legionella Awareness Month, I am bringing back Dr. Janet Stout to talk about what we, as Water Treaters, need to know about Legionella, what's new in Legionella risk management, ASSE-12080 Certification Training, and many more. Buckle your seatbelts because this is going to be one groundbreaking conversation! Dr. Janet E. Stout is the Executive Vice President and founder of Special Pathogens Laboratory, A Pace laboratory. She is also a research associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Dr. Stout is a globally-recognized infection disease microbiologist sought out for her seminal discoveries and pioneering research in Legionella. Her expertise includes prevention and control strategies for Legionnaires' Disease in building water systems. In more than 30 years that Dr. Stout has been doing research, her research has been published in peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals. She has also authored textbook chapters on Legionella and Legionnaires' Disease, one of which is the Legionella chapter in the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) Text. Dr. Stout also assisted in developing the first Legionella prevention guideline in the United States (published in 1993). It has continued to serve as a framework for future national and global health agencies and organizations.  Dr. Stout currently serves on the ASHRAE Legionella Standard Committee Guideline 12 and the Committee for ANSI/ ASHRAE Standard 188-2015, Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems, which was the first US standard for Legionella risk management. Special Pathogens Laboratory, together with the American Society of Sanitary Engineers (ASSE) and the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) created the first certification for Legionella risk management, ASSE-12080, and Dr. Stout is the first certified instructor of the ASSE-12080 Legionella Water Safety and Management Specialist Certification Training. Bottom line: Dr. Janet E. Stout will share with us what water treaters need to know about Legionella.  Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client.  -Trace    Timestamps:  Continuing the celebration of Legionella Awareness Month and other events in Water Treatment [01:29] Thinking On Water With James [06:02]  Welcoming back Legionella Expert, Dr. Janet E.

[50:30] Lightning round questions [52:35]   Thinking On Water With James: In this week's episode, we're thinking about corrosion coupons. Do you use corrosion coupons in all of your accounts? Why or why not? Do you use pretreated or pre-stressed coupons? Why or why not? Why should you avoid touching fresh, new coupons with your fingers when installing? Do you consider the orientation of the coupons when installing them? Do you install them so the flat side is vertical or horizontal or have you never thought of this? We've previously thought about the order of the coupons but now's another good time to think about that, too. How many days do you leave them in the system? What would be the impact of removing them sooner rather than later? What can be determined by visually observing the corrosion coupons upon removal? How do you communicate the results? Do you save the old ones for annual reviews, take a picture or scan, or dispose of them? Take this week to think about corrosion coupons and how to most effectively use them.    Quotes: “Everyone needs to be aware that ASHRAE Standard 188-2018 and Guideline 12-2020 are in continuous maintenance.” - Dr. Janet E.

Lida Citroën is an award-winning branding and reputation management authority who designs and enhances the identities of executives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders globally. As CEO and founder of LIDA360, LLC, Lida is sought-after for her knowledge of personal brand development, reputation management, leadership communication, and online positioning. Lida's popular TEDx Talk, Talks at Google presentation, and multiple courses on LinkedIn Learning showcase her empowering delivery style and message. She regularly presents business workshops on reputation management, personal branding, executive presence, leadership communication, and using social media to self-promote, helping employees and leaders build a personal brand that supports the business. She also works to support military veterans as they make the transition from a military to a civilian career. Lida is the author of 5 best-selling books on reputation management including her latest "Control the Narrative: The Executive's Guide to Building, Pivoting and Repairing Your Reputation," published in May 2021 from Kogan Page. Why should you care about your reputation? You have a personal brand. Even if you're just now launching your business, you are already known for acting, interacting and dressing a certain way. How you treat people, how you present yourself and how you run your business has a deep impact on how others perceive you! Those perceptions affect whether people want to work with you in the future. What can you do about it? When you intend to have a big impact, your reputation gets bigger and the stakes get higher. Lida Citroën coaches entrepreneurs on how to build, reclaim or transform the way people perceive them.  In this episode, Lida discusses accountability, public perception, and why your reputation can be the foundation for a strong and enduring business. Quotes “Everyone has a brand - by design or by default. You're known for certain things - how you've been living your life and showing up. You've formed some type of reputation in the minds of people who interact with you. What I do is to help people take control of that, authentically.” “One thing I help my clients do is separate reputation from fact. It's hard when you're being dragged. Separate what happened from what you feel about what happened. What are the short and long term implications? Has it actually damaged your career? I also help them decide who their audience is.” “We have to know that someone's perception of us is going to drive them to want to work with us…or not.” “If people don't see you and perceive you in the way that you want, you're going to miss out on opportunities.” Links mentioned in this episode: You can navigate to Lida Citroën's website here: www.lida360.com  Watch Lida's TedTalk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BloWnsJCRw  Subscribe to Lida's Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/LidaCitroen Lida is very active on LinkedIn.

Matt and Garrett spend today's episode talking about whether a primary residence should be called an investment. Their purpose is to make sure real estate agents are educating their clients well around the word “investment” in an effort to avoid the misuse of language and ultimately, disappointment. Once again, this comes down to accurate communication and the understanding that it's imperative to have open conversations with buyers and sellers. Our hosts maintain that real estate agents need to be careful when using the word “investment” to describe a primary residence, as that is rarely the case. Matt and Garrett suggest that appreciation of a primary residence should be a bonus, rather than being the reason to buy or sell. Whatever you are doing at the moment, whether you're exercising, driving around, or just folding your laundry, you owe it to yourself to spend about 25 minutes with our hosts today to learn even more. You also owe it to yourself to join the Ninja Selling Podcast group on Facebook at Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook, where you'll find a community of almost 8000 Ninjas who share ideas, ask and answer questions, collaborate, and network.

Episode Highlights: Why using the term “investment” to describe primary residences is problematic Buy based off of cash flow Be careful what you call an investment Dynamically change your relationship with your clients Overdeliver on your value as a trusted advisor Quotes: “Everyone who is big in real estate investing will say [that] a real estate investment is something that actually pays you. If used as your primary residence, you are paying it. You are spending money every month on interest, on taxes, on maintenance, on all the things.” “When agents are out there telling people about the investment and the appreciation, they're not factoring the cost of carry, they're not factoring in the cost of buying, they're not factoring in the cost of selling… that's where people get the most surprised like that six, seven% that now I have to pay out when I sell a house. That's eating into this 10% appreciation that I just had.” “Most [successful investors] do not buy based off of appreciation potential; they buy based off of cash flow.” “If you go into your primary residence banking on it being an investment, you can get yourself burned really quickly on what should be a roof over your head.” “If you want to bank on appreciation, too, then you have to plan on living in that house until your mortgage matures.” “Appreciation is a bonus.” “Now you're their trusted advisor sitting down with them and explaining the market.” “It's just a nice way to keep expectations nice and low, and overdeliver on your value as a trusted advisor. Look at it from that standpoint, your clients will be even happier with you because everything is a bonus.” Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group

This episode features an interview with Jâlie Cohen. She is the Group SVP of HR Americas at The Adecco Group. She leads EX for the 9,000 employees across the U.S., Canada and Latin America. In this episode, Jâlie talks about launching a new recruiting system, running a successful onboarding experience, and how the employee experience starts way before hire, with brand perception.Quotes*”Everyone owns the employee experience. Oftentimes I'll read periodicals that really focus on what we, as HR, can do. And I think that we miss the opportunity to say how employees are also equally responsible for ensuring that they have a great employee experience as well by leveraging the tools that they are provided, by having a self-developing focus on, ‘how can I go out and self-serve myself,' versus waiting for people to come to me to offer an experience.”*”By the time a person has decided to apply for your role, they're applying to the brand. How you brand yourself in the market is critical. Employees are not only being extremely selective, but they are deciding whether you're aligned from a value perspective.”*”When someone joins an organization, don't forget the importance of human connectedness. It can be a small item, something as simple as a branded coffee mug and a note from you to let them know that you're expecting them… Make sure you're taking the time to personalize the onboarding experience. That first impression is key.”Time Stamps*[4:28] The Flight Plan: Get to know The Adecco Group*[8:19] First Class: Best EX practices at The Adecco Group*[29:34] Turbulence: EX lessons learned*[36:33] Advice for other EX leadersLinksConnect with Jâlie on LinkedInCheck out ChiefCheck out OneTenThanks to our friendsThis episode is brought to you by Firstup, the company that is redefining the digital employee experience to put people first and lift companies up by connecting every worker, everywhere with the information that helps them do their best work.

Both Sides of a Great Associateship Episode #282 with Dr. Kevin Groth & Dr. Renee Miller A great associateship is possible — it's a matter of effort and open-mindedness from both sides. And today, we have two guests, Dr. Kevin Groth and Dr. Renee Miller, to share their thoughts and experiences on how to create successful partnerships in a dental practice. Don't just settle for any job or environment! For advice on finding opportunities for a better practice and better life, listen to Episode 282 of The Best Practices Show! Main Takeaways: No dentist is perfect. Don't expect perfection from mentors or students. Find people who share your core values. Give associates room to make mistakes. Seek out mentors! The sooner, the better. Open your mind to better opportunities.   Quotes: “Everyone's heard the story of the burnt-out, young, new grad dentist that is just miserable and has no defined vision for their life . . . And it comes from lack of confidence coming out of school and lack of having a good mentor.” (04:40—05:14) “If you're a young dentist or in dental school, take opportunities to lean on [mentors] because they just want to be there to help. And if you're not going to take those opportunities, then you're missing out on potentially great opportunities later on in your career.” (10:32—10:45) “A lot of associates don't think that they have a choice to find an environment that works for them. And until you're exposed to it, you don't really realize that you can.” (33:42—33:53) “Nothing of what I did in dental school is shaping who I am as a dentist today. It was all the extra things I went and saw, and did, and people I sought out right out of dental school that really drew me forward.” (43:36—43:47) “There are so many people that are there to teach with the right intentions. There are so many dentists out there that want to have mentees under their wing. And yet, nobody takes them under their wing because nobody asked. Nobody took the steps forward to get on page with them.” (44:26—44:42) “The moment you're out of dental school, don't think it's over. Try to be inspired to constantly find ways to grow and do better.” (45:54—46:00) Snippets: Why this is an important topic in dentistry. (03:46—06:25) Renee's journey. (06:37—08:12) Kevin's lessons learned about mentorship. (08:36—12:33) Renee's thoughts coming out of grad school. (13:05—14:42) Renee and Mark's core values. (15:03—19:39) Lessons learned about hiring the right people. (19:54—23:05) Be fair to new associates. (23:47—24:50) The importance of having and giving support. (25:21—27:21) Mark and Renee's thoughts on work-life balance. (27:41—31:07) Mark and Renee's thoughts on what dentists get wrong. (31:28—34:24) Give associates room to make mistakes. (34:27—35:28) Be transparent from the very beginning. (36:57—42:00) Advice for young dental students. (43:00—46:00) The possibility of a great associateship. (46:49—47:31) Last thoughts. (47:54—49:21) Kevin Groth & Renee Miller Bio Dr. Kevin Groth's primary goal is for every person to walk out of his office knowing that they received the highest-quality, most personalized care possible. Dentistry is more than just a profession for Dr. Groth. He sees every patient as an extension of his own family, and when you are in his chair, you'll always be treated well. Dr. Groth's favorite part of being a dentist is that every day and every patient is different. He loves the variety of people he gets to meet and procedures he performs to help patients maintain their smiles. Since graduating from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, Dr. Groth has been recognized locally by Hour Detroit Magazine as a Top Dentist, and nationally as a Top Doc. As a passionate dentist who wants to provide the best care for his patients, Dr. Groth pursues continuing education through The Dawson Academy, serves on the executive board of the Periodontal Bunting Society, and is the...

On today's episode, I'm speaking with celebrity stylist, Justin Anderson. We talk about a wide range of topics including:  How feeling your best produces confidence How natural hair color never goes out of style 2020 as the year of self-care And how there is beauty in everything For those of you not yet familiar with Justin, here's some background information for today's interview. At the start of his career, Vogue called Justin “a rising star of blonde Hollywood.” Since then he has catapulted to the top of the Beverly Hills salon community, with A-list clients including Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Margot Robbie, Brie Larson, Miley Cyrus, and Kristin Cavallari. You may have seen him on E's Very Cavallari show, or from his own product line dp HUE. Beauty Uncovered is brought to you by Olaplex, which invites you to go beyond the surface with the only system that rebuilds broken hair bonds. You can find out more at Olaplex.com SHOW NOTES: Growing up in the shadow of beauty [2:49] Justin’s routines [10:45] What it’s like working with celebrities [13:58] Justin’s recommendations for freshening up your hair [17:02] Recommendations from Justin’s celebrity clients [19:23] The consistencies Justin sees amongst his celebrity clients [26:33] Justin’s #1 advice for listeners [32:17]   RESOURCES:   Justin’s website: https://www.dphue.com/pages/justin-anderson Justin’s Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/justinandersoncolor/?hl=en     QUOTES: Everyone talks about “How do you make your skin beautiful?”, “How do you make your hair beautiful?”, and beautiful is different versions for all of us.    When women look in the mirror, and they're proud of what they see. It isn't about the perfect body or them being beautiful. It's about being the best version of themselves at the time.    I think that anyone, no matter what people look like, when they feel like their best, I like seeing the confidence that comes out of them.    Good, natural, beautiful hair color never goes out of style.   2020 was the year of self-care and taking care of your hair. But, people are gonna want wow moments. People are gonna want to go out and party and look their best.     I think a lot of people want to have some magical new skin thing they use and a lot of these things take time. You have to test things out, see what works for you, have fun with it.   People are craving realness more than ever right now. They want to see themselves in a photo. They want to feel like they connect.    I like to focus on the positive when something bad happens. I'm like, what can you learn here? When I look back, it really wasn't as hard as I thought it was. It made me stronger.    Make sure you have time to yourself, make that a priority. When we're doing those things, it shows in our energy level, our excitement, and our passion for life.   There's filters everywhere, and everyone's editing their pictures. So we all have this idea of what's perfect. It's just unattainable.

Investing in your own health, wellbeing, and healing is one of the most productive things you can do. Not only does it help you, but it also benefits others around you, including Mother Earth herself. I’m joined by ego coach and Mother Earth Healer, Pippa Leslie, to talk about her own experience working with others to heal their egos and heal the earth. About Pippa Leslie An ego coach and Mother Earth Healer, both combined to help others heal to heal the world. Pippa Leslie works closely with women to help them ditch their toxic ego to own their purpose and divinity. When we align and Awaken to our spark and calling, our life starts to quantum leap back to the path we chose to be on. Pippa strongly believes that we have to heal ourselves to help heal our planet. To rise with Mother Earth. Connecting deeply to animals and nature, she has a natural ability to communicate with those around her. After having a quantum shift in 2020, Mother Earth presented herself to Pippa in nature to help her remember who she is, that her gifts and work was needed. She’s here to serve mother earth and her wonderful life on our planet. About Healing Yourself to Heal The Earth Pippa Leslie starts this conversation by explaining what her own quantum leap looked like. It’s so important to realise that everyone’s leap and spiritual awakening will look different. These are as personal to each individual as every other aspect of their life. For Pippa, it was a connection with Mother Earth that resulted in her first quantum leap. She explains what this energy feels like and how you might start to connect with Mother Earth yourself. It’s a very peaceful feeling, something divinely connected to nature that we can, actually, all achieve. As a world and as individual societies, we are so disconnected from the earth energy. Humanity used to be so connected, and while many Native and aboriginal peoples still are, most of us have lost this connection. This disconnection manifests so many different ways in our lives. Pippa explains what we can learn from watching and interacting with the plant life around us. She encourages us all to bring plants into your home and start communicating with them. Each plant has its own energy and vibration and we can learn so much from them. As an ego coach as well, Pippa explains how our ego is connected to earth energies. Pippa talks about why we feel triggered in certain situations and how we can heal these parts of ourselves. When we learn to heal ourself, we can help heal other people and the earth, too. I want you to give your Ego a name. What is it? Let me know in the comments, lovely! In This Episode What your Quantum Leap might look like [11:00] What Mother Earth’s energy feels like [13:00] How to connect with the energy of Mother Earth [23:30] Why we feel so disconnected from Mother Earth [29:00] What we can learn from watching and interacting with plant life [32:00] How to work through your triggers and heal your inner child [38:30] Quotes “Everyone’s Quantum Shift is different to you. It’s going to be completely different to who you are. You could be sat on the toilet, in the shower, mopping the floor, you could just be on a walk in nature.” [7:52] “Your parents, no matter who they are, they’re exactly who you want them to be because they’re pushing you down the path that you’re meant to be on. It’s remembering that you’re birthed through them and you chose them for this life.” [21:48] “It’s a ripple effect, isn’t it? When you’re doing things from the highest self, when you’re serving yourself, you’re serving other people.” [36:28] “When we’ve been triggered, we want to work on it straight away. But don’t; give yourself a few hours, journal it out. It’s having compassion. Taoism talks about having compassion for all life and we have to see ourselves in every single person. That is the ultimate goal for me. We’re all the children of Mother Earth. We’re all fighting battles that we don’t know, we’re all fighting traumas that we don’t know about, we have to have compassion.

This week’s guest on the Live Your Light Show, we have a soulful conversation with Marci Moberg. Marci Moberg is an intuitive coach and healer with a passion for reconnecting sensitive souls to their forgotten intuitive nature.  Marci’s work includes coaching individuals and groups to develop their intuition, understand their sensitivity, own their power, and navigate life transitions and relationships with authenticity.  Her popular online course Intuition 101, is a life-changing course on practical intuition development and she is the podcast host of Tune In with Marci.  Marci has been featured on MindBodyGreen, The Huffington Post, Reader’s Digest, Bustle, ThriveGlobal.com, LifeHack.org, television, and many podcasts.  You can follow her inspiring tips and writings on her website, www.marcimoberg.com     In this Soulful Conversation We Cover:  Why our sensitivity is our superpower. Being grounded while being spiritual is important! How connecting to our intuition can support our healing. Steps to strengthen your connection to your intuition Marci’s experience reconciling the logic/ practical part of life & the spiritual by allowing her intuition to eventually grow despite the her resistance. Marci Believe it's essential for sensitives (highly sensitive people and empaths) to incorporate shadow work into their personal growth and healing. Boundaries are key in every aspect in life. If you’re having challenges rise a lot, important questions to ask yourself: What parts of your past are unresolved and how are you being triggered? Try not to put too much pressure on your intuition because you might be missing a lot of subtleties - a few steps to take to strengthen the intuitive muscle include: 1. Get into your body (sounds more simple than it actually is because we are living in a culture where we are typically in our head)  First, start by focusing on your heart center -what sensations do you feel? - Start with the physical contact that emerges for you any physical sensations and any emotions come up Second, start to have a conversation with your heart ‘Dear heart, what will you have me know today?’ -even silence is okay as you start to lube up the connections with your intuitive Third, practice regular devotion to show up to deepen the connection Fourth, start documenting what comes up but don’t get impatient & keep your eyes open by looking for evidence. When you are building a relationship with your soul / your personal intuition takes time. It is really about courting your intuition so don’t demand that it tells you anything-  just look to connect to it and it will build from there. Sometimes the messages come in sentences and different times. ‘It takes courage to be you’ - Meaning it takes courage to remember your personal truth and peel back the many layers of social conditioning Quotes: “Everyone is intuitive. Everyone experiences intuition in different ways.  It’s a matter of taking the time to slowly decode your own experience so that you can find uniquely how intuition speaks to you. That is your birthright.”- Marci Moberg   We can’t wait to see what you thought of the episode and what takeaways resonated most with you.

Ever wonder how you will achieve the monumental tasks required of you at work? Few people realize that they’re already surrounded by all the resources they need to reach their goals. There are people around you who would be happy to help. All you have to do is ask, but most people simply don’t make the request. Today, we’ve brought in an expert who has helped people and organizations successfully build cultures where anyone can tap into the giving power of what is actually a massive network of resources.  Dr. Wayne Barker is a Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Management & Organizations at University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, and Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations. His work focuses on social networks, generosity, values, and positive organizational scholarship. He is the author of All You Have To Do Is Ask: How To Master the Most Important Skill For Success as well as five other books and many scholarly articles. Today, Dr. Baker describes his findings surrounding generosity. He’s discovered that most people are willing and even eager, to help others. The disconnect often occurs because people are reluctant to ask for help when they most need it.  Dr. Baker discusses how organizations can best make use of generosity while making sure that everyone’s needs are met and acknowledged. This requires intentionally building a culture of generosity. To that end, Dr. Baker shares tools and strategies that any organization can use to help achieve this.  What are you working on and what do you need? Go ahead and ask in the comments on the episode page!   In this episode The innate generosity of human beings & the dangers of dysfunctional generosity  What it means to build a culture of generosity How joining a culture of generosity can change someone’s own sense of giving and receiving Specific practices for building a culture of generosity and guidance on how to formulate requests  Tools to help automate the question asking process Getting past the fear of asking for help, especially with “dormant connections”   Quotes “Everyone wants a culture of generosity. But it turns out the barrier is not that people are unwilling or unable to help, but that people are reluctant to ask for what they need.” [3:22] “The best workplaces make routines and rituals where it’s expected to ask for help and to give help.” [11:39] “Sometimes help comes from very unlikely places. It’s because we have networks. We have networks that extend way out into the world.” [18:58]   Links Give and Take Inc.

This week I want to introduce you to a rebel renaissance woman Dr. Corinne Devin. She is not only a doctor and a naval officer, but she is also Ms. United States! Talk about dynamic! I love it when a woman refuses to be one thing and expresses all sides of herself. She has lived in over 30 countries and does tons of service work mentoring and investing in youth. She lives a life full of adventure, service, discipline and fulfillment. She is beautiful, inspiring & bad ass. She has served our United States Navy in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Listen in and hear how this woman has conquered many worlds and how she did it. This podcast will help you believe that everything is really possible and inspire you to find your compass, draw your map and put on your crown ladies. Hell yeah. In this episode you will hear:-About Dr. Corinne Devin’s inspiring journey from dental school to pageants. -How to determine what sacrifices you are willing to make to get your ultimate goals. -How to potentially become a dentist and not be in 300k debt with a little help from the US Navy. -How coaching can help you build a life you would have never dreamed you could on your own -Why Dr. Corinne Devin decided to take the daring route of Navy to pageant. Was it a dare? lol -How creating a family away from home is quite possibly the best way to be an adventurer. Quotes: “Everyone that's listening is totally jealous.” - Shereen Thor  “My dad was a dentist in the Navy. But if you told me at eight years old that I would be deployed and doing his job, I'd be like, no, you're crazy.” - Dr. Corinne Devin “Only 18% of United States Navy is made up of female officers today.” - Dr. Corinne Devin  “It’s about making choices, deciding what's important to you, what your dreams are, and what you're willing to do.” - Dr. Corinne Devin “One thing that I would tell them to do is look for a coach. I would look at getting someone who is going to put a mirror in front of them, hold them accountable, make them do things that they maybe just didn't feel like that the confidence to do or the support to do.” - Dr. Corinne Devin “So, I think it's having someone dig deep and having someone that can hold them accountable -  because it can't be your family and it can't be your friends. Because, guess what, they all are all selfish they want you for themselves or they want you to do what they want to do. You need someone who's going to be completely separate and who does not have any of those biases.” - Dr. Corinne Devin Resources:   Dr. Corinne Devin on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/drcorinnedevin/  www.awakentherebel.com (take the quiz – What Drives you?)

Dr. Marilyn Volker, Sexologist for the past thirty-two years, Diplomat of the American Board of Sexology and Associate Fellow of The American Academy of Clinical Sexologists, joins the show today. Dr. Volker helped to establish the Health Crisis Network, Florida’s first community-based AIDS project and has educated thousands over the past 20 years about HIV/AIDS nationwide. Dr. Volker also helped to establish the first gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender youth group in Miami-Dade County in 1975. In this week’s episode, she talks about what it was like to be active in the frontlines of not only the HIV epidemic but dealing with sexual minorities. She addresses areas where we have made progress, and where we still have a lot of work to go. Dr. Volker shares humbling stories that are close to her heart of people turning struggle and fear into bravery, connection, and community.   TAKEAWAYS: [2:05] Dr. Volker began her career teaching deaf children and continues to work with special education programs and communities. [3:12] Dr. Volker’s family were way ahead of their time in the way they encouraged her and her siblings to value all people, and be proud of their own bodies. [4:02] In the 1970’s, four young gay teenage men showed Dr. Volker that they needed her assistance and support. They only met in what she refers to as the 5 B’s: bars, beaches, bathhouses in bookstores and bushes. They felt marginalized and scared, and they needed a group for their safety and self esteem. [8:51] Dr. Volker made it her life’s work to provide a safe place for LGBT people to go to discuss their fears and concerns. At first HIV was referred to as GRID, or gay-related immune deficiency. It was also thought to only affect people in the Four H categories: homosexual, Haitian, hemophiliac or heroin user. [12:22] In the early days of an HIV support call center there were two lines that came in, and the second line went either to the Gay Men’s Health Crisis Centers in New York or Los Angeles. There was very little training, and everyone was learning as they went. [15:55] Many of the sufferers felt alone, ashamed and unable to talk about what they were experiencing because of the stigma that surrounded being in both the LGBT community and being infected with HIV. [17:14] Despite the very little structure and education available at the time, Dr. Volker and her “dream team” stepped up and created a cultural shift in discussing and accepting human sexuality. [21:44] It was one of Dr. Volker’s greatest honors to help people express how they wanted to be remembered through the Quilt Project. In very painful circumstances these heroes showed tenderness and humor to still celebrate their life. [28:07] Dr. Volker is known as the “Condom Queen” or “Condom Lady” because she was always seen handing them out, or had them ready for anyone that may be interested. [29:17] What really helps people when they are scared and feeling lonely: faith, family, love, compassion and a sense of humor.   RESOURCES: International Institute of Clinical Sexology International Transgender Certification Therapist Certification Association besafemv@gmail.com   QUOTES: “Everyone is part of the dream team.” “It’s the shoulders we stand on.” “I can’t tell you how many people were willing to be visible so we can make these moves.” “Behind anger is so much fear.”

On this week’s episode we tackle some tough passages, like the Nephilim and God’s sorrow over creation and whether or not fish were in the ark. We discuss how far sin has caused the world to fall, and God’s good and perfect plan of redemption and faithfulness shining through. Even though we have all heard the story of Noah’s Ark we glean something new as we dig deeper into God’s living and active word. Quotes: “Everyone everywhere had forgotten about God and were only doing bad things all the time. God’s heart was filled with pain when he saw what had happened to the world He loved..” -Jesus Storybook Bible “Grace is the foundation of every life that is pleasing to God, grace is the source from which issues every blessing you receive.” - AW Pink Gleanings from Genesis “Genesis 6 is the first time we see the word grace.” “Faith is the antithesis of sin. Faith is more than an act it is an attitude it is a submission to God’s government, yielding to His authority in compliance to His revealed will. Faith in God is coming to the end of myself, an entire dependence on God” - AW Pink “Erin: What’s his wife’s name? Kacie: She doesn’t have a name. HAHA” Resources: Gleanings in Genesis by A.W. Pink Imperfect Courage by Jessica Honegger The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name *The beautiful music heard on today’s episode is by Katie Cobbs*

Have you had a spiritual awakening and had thoughts and feelings that were less than positive? This is the last of a three-part series on a somewhat heavy, but worthwhile topic. Last Wednesday, we left off with depression. Today, we’re going to dive deeper into the topic. This episode is powerful and will let you know that you’re not alone.   7 Key Takeaways When you get into the state where you tap into your presence, and that presence is something that you identify as something that is not a part of your ego, your eyes start to open a bit to how the way we are as humans is different from the truth of who we are. When you are spiritually awakened, you stop defining things as “good” and “bad.” Everything is just “is.” There’s nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nowhere to be. When you start to absorb that, doing other things can become less meaningful. That’s when some of the depression can come in. We know intuitively that there is love, joy, and meaning. If you find yourself wondering what’s the point of anything, simply give this to God and align yourself to Him. Ego would have us believe we are a body and a personal story. But if you have a spiritual awakening, you understand there is God and you understand that you are vast and pure awareness. The difficulty with going and functioning in this world when we are spiritually awakened is sometimes where the depression comes in. ACIM says that Jesus refers to us as having a special function and a purpose to fulfill.   Quotes “Everyone who has a spiritual awakening knows there is much more than our normal everyday reality. There is God. I, as vast and pure awareness continues long after body and personal story in this life comes to an end.” - Bruce Davis, PhD, The Challenge of Depression After a Spiritual Awakening   “We are love. That is the truth of who were are.”   Action Step We have a function and purpose in this world. We are love.

Many people who become vets start out their careers with that intention, but that wasn’t the case with Dr. Melinda Frye. In today’s episode, we talk about how chance encounters and unexpected opportunities can open up the possibilities of your life in ways you hadn’t imagined, as long as you stay open to them, and commit to them when they appear. Dr. Melinda Frye is not only a veterinarian, but is also a Ph.D., board-certified internal specialist, the first female Associate Dean of Veterinary Academic and Student Affairs at CSU, and is on the board of the local humane society. Interestingly, she started her career as a nurse for humans, but after a chance encounter while on a run one day, she decided to pursue vet school. Today we talk about being open to change and opportunities as well as the importance of mentors throughout your career, and being okay with having different priorities from peers to keep yourself balanced. Has a new opportunity ever changed the trajectory of your life in a way you didn’t expect? How have your mentors helped you make big decisions? Let us know on the episode page!   In this episode: How chance encounters and opportunities, paired with an open mind can change your career in unexpected and fulfilling ways The importance of self-care in vet school and choosing personal priorities that may be different from your peers, if you need to The overlap between human nursing and being a veterinarian The importance of seeing failure as an opportunity rather than as “failure”   Quotes: “Everyone has to prioritize based on their unique situation, and I don’t think anyone should be judged for prioritizing in a way that may seem different or unusual to others.” 18:15 “So much of it is perseverance, I think that ties into this idea of growth versus fixed mindset, the idea that our level of knowledge is not fixed. If you persevere, grind through, there will be some really fun adventures ahead and great rewards” 30:40 “My nursing mentor always said “my greatest pride is to see my mentees go far above and beyond anything that I’ve ever done” and I would say the same thing.” 40:41   Links: Enjoying the show?

If you’ve been listening to Studio Sherpas for long, you know we believe that the greatest investment you can make is in the people you surround yourself with. As creatives, many of us get an uneasy feeling when we hear the word “networking” but as today’s guest explains, real networking can be filled with heart, personality, and true, genuine connection. Mike Kim is a marketing consultant, communications strategist, and copywriter who loves nothing more than giving back to the world through his podcast and conferences. His insights into what the number one thing you need to do to properly market yourself, his tips and tricks on connecting with influencers right from the start, and how you can stand out from the crowd to get yourself remembered, are priceless. Mike also dives into why being a “connector” can ultimately lead to your biggest successes, and how you absolutely need to learn one critical skill every year if you want to level up your business. You will love hearing Mike speak because everything he says is actionable today and can lead to results quickly. What is the critical skill you are learning in 2018? How will this skill help your business overall? Leave us a comment below!   In this episode: How learning a new critical skill each year will truly level up your business The power behind forward oriented questions in conversation (and what the heck those are) How to connect and build relationships with influencers Why giving back can lead you to more success than you can imagine Mike’s “Strategic Selfie” trick to standing out and getting yourself remembered at conferences and networking events The #1 thing you need to do to market yourself properly How do you begin telling your story as a brand   Quotes: “Everyone who is in business for themselves in a thought leadership brand or creative brand, they have mastered at least one thing. It doesn’t mean that you’re the best in the works but that’s the best thing that you do. And, money flows towards mastery, that’s how you make your living.” (6:46) “Business is really, really simple. Business is nothing more than solving a problem for profit. And, if you are going to go into business for yourself you might as well solve a problem that you want to.” (14:05) “It’s all about that story. It’s all about letting people know how you got into the business, what is it that drives you so that they can get to know you so that they can trust that you’ll be around them shooting video. They are intimidated enough by the camera or any other creative pursuit.” (41:24)   Links: Mike's Website Follow Mike on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram   Mike's Podcast, Brand You Influence and Impact Conference How to Market Yourself Blog Post   Check out the full show notes page Stay up to date with everything we're doing at Studio Sherpas Tune into our weekly Facebook Lives

The impacts of a quality plan can lead to big things. How big? How about a six figure gain within your trading account? What I love about the podcast is the many shapes and forms the motivation and inspiration can take. This time around, the motivation is that of sheer numbers and size of just what is possible. As our guest Stan (‘PapaBear’ in the chatroom) discloses, nothing happened over night or without a lot of hard work; however, it did happen and continues to happen! It honestly still inspires me and gets me fired up to know that by only using 30% of his account, he was able to double his ENTIRE account. This is the power of a plan and approaching this business we call trading in a logical and realistic way. Come along for a very inspirational ride! Notes: Today we interview community member Papa Bear aka Stan. Back in the 70’s, Stan saw an episode of The Brady Bunch when they had an episode about the stock market. This led to an interest that he carried until much later in life. Stan unfortunately suffered a decent loss when one of the mutual funds he was invested in got too heavily invested in a stock that plummeted. This led him to pull his funds into a Roth IRA and start controlling his money himself. After putting together as much as he could from free education, Stan had a big fear about ‘what do I not know yet.’ This led him to investigate some structured education for trading. After looking around the industry, Stan joined the University program. Stan went through the courses and decided to focus mainly on options. The big emphasis he wants listeners to take away is that position sizing is absolutely crucial in long term survival trading. He has never needed to utilize traditional margin since he is never using the entirety of his account and he has generated a fantastic return only using ⅓ of his account. He mainly focuses on candlestick formations and keeping himself involved in multiple sectors as not to be too concentrated. Quotes: Everyone and their janitor was getting in the market during the dot.com boom. I started getting scared. What is it that I don’t know is what really scared me. All these different traders trade differently. You rather eloquently showed me that I was wrong and rather than getting offended by it, I deeply appreciated it. Paper trading was good for learning mechanics. Unless you get the adrenaline of having money on the line, the lesson doesn’t stick. My first year after CTU I made 100% only using 30% of my account. We’re talking 6 figures. The last thing you ever want to do is turn a day trade into a swing trade. They are two different philosophies. Links: https://claytrader.com/videos/the-surgeons-delemma/
