What happens when a lifetime in broadcast news meets faith, purpose, and a desire to share hope instead of headlines? In this milestone episode of Unstoppable Mindset, I sit down with John and Val Clark, hosts of The Clark Report, to talk about life after the newsroom, marriage, service, and seeing the world through a biblical lens. John reflects on more than four decades in television news and the emotional weight of covering tragedy, while Val shares her journey as a teacher, volunteer, and financial coach helping families regain control of their money. Together, we explore retirement, resilience, faith, and why focusing on what you can control is key to living with less fear and more intention. This is a thoughtful conversation about perspective, purpose, and building an Unstoppable mindset grounded in hope. Highlights: 00:10 – Hear why John and Val shifted from reporting the news to sharing hope through a faith-based podcast. 07:38 – Learn how decades of early-morning news work shaped resilience, discipline, and perspective. 12:36 – Discover how focusing on what you can control helps reduce fear in moments of crisis. 26:04 – Learn how budgeting from a biblical perspective can help people regain financial stability. 39:19 – Hear how The Clark Report chooses topics that bring faith and hope into today's headlines. 52:36 – Understand how communication, compromise, and shared purpose strengthen marriage and teamwork.

In this episode, I sit down with J.D. Greear, pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. Under J.D.'s leadership, The Summit has grown from a church of about 300 people to a movement of over 12,000. They have a bold vision to plant 1,000 churches by the year 2050. Woah!!  But what I love about this conversation is that it's not about numbers. It's about leadership in real life. We talk about the complexities and weight of leadership, how to find balance when everything feels overwhelming, and what it looks like to lead faithfully in a divided world without becoming cynical or jaded.  If you're leading people, carrying responsibility, or just trying to stay hopeful and healthy in the middle of it all, I think this conversation will really encourage you.

As part of the faith-based dance series, I speak with Christina Clark, a passionate minister of dance with 15 years experience as a worship leader, teacher and creator of worship garments and tools. She is a wife to Antoine for 17 years and mama to three amazing sons – Mason, Leo and Ethan. She founded Arise Dance Ministry which exists to share God through Dance, Outreach, and Teaching and is focused on helping people grow deeper in their relationship with God through movement. Based  in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina, the ministry offers pop-up worship dance classes called Worship Dance Sundays as well as facilitating Biblically based teaching of dance, choreography and flags through workshops and conferences for all ages and skill levels. In our conversation, Christina shares about building confidence in your relationship with God, not just your talent; understanding that you might be setting a precedent for dance ministry which is a responsibility and an honor; and that stress can indicate something is out of balance which is a signal to reconnect with God.Thanks for listening to our conversation, thanks for sharing this episode with a friend and for leaving a review!Learn more about Christina and Arise Dance Ministry at ariseworshipdance.com.You can learn more about dance education and career planning for dancers at theballerinatist.com

Starting a nursing career is both exciting and challenging, especially in the fast-paced world of healthcare. New nurses often struggle as they transition from school to real-world practice, navigating complex systems and high demands. How can we improve nursing education to better support them? In this episode, I speak with Morgan Taylor, Chief Nursing Officer at Archer Review. Morgan shares insights into the challenges new nurses face, the structural issues within nursing education, opportunities for innovation in healthcare, and ways to better align incentives in the field. Don't miss out, listen now! --- Listen to the podcast here: Carving Your Own Path in Nursing with Morgan Taylor Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Today, I want to talk to you about the many different ways in which we can go about carving your own path because I think sometimes people think about any pursuit and they think about the most common manifestation of it and they think the most common manifestation of carving their own path as being something along the lines of either starting your own business or doing something really, really wild, like going and living off the grid somewhere in, I don't know, Uganda, for the lack of a better place to think of, but there are plenty of different ways in which you can kind of discover where your path is going and discover how you can get to a place where you once again feel excited about the things that you once felt excited about.  ---   Today, my guest is Morgan Taylor and she is the chief nursing officer at Archer Review and chief nursing officer, I feel like a different C-blank-O title emerges every other week, so, yeah, Morgan, tell us a little bit about that.    Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for having me on today. I'm excited to talk. Yeah, chief nursing officer, to me, sounds totally normal, because I grew up as a nurse at big hospitals that always had a chief nursing officer. But, of course, if you don't work somewhere that has nurses, that's going to sound a little funky to you, right?    Yeah.    And really how I got to where I am is kind of funky. It was not a straightforward path at all, not something I had planned out or set my sights on a decade ago. I started out as a bedside nurse at Duke University in the Raleigh-Durham area here in North Carolina. I started working in a – we called it the children's resource unit. I went to all different pediatric areas of the hospital, spent a lot of time in the ICU, in the emergency department, and I loved it. I learned so much. It was a wonderful experience. And then COVID happened and things got a little dicey there. It was a big challenge, one that I'm proud to have played a part in, but what was most impactful for me and kind of what started me on this path where I ended up today now was I started seeing that the new nurses coming in to join us in this profession were very underprepared, and not to any fault of their own. They just didn't have the experience that they needed to get prior to coming and working in a level one trauma center taking care of very, very ill patients. So that got my wheels turning. I started to think maybe there's something I can do in kind of the education bubble, that's something people talk about. I started kind of looking for ways to dip my toes in the water, so to speak, see what's out there, and that was when I connected with the CEO, Karthik Koduru, of Archer Review. He was working on trying to put together a platform to really enable nursing education that was accessible and affordable and specifically targeted nurses getting ready to take their board exams. We call those exams the NCLEX and it's that last test you have to take before you're fully licensed, you're out there on your own actually caring for patients. And we had really poor pass rates. They were anywhere from about 80 to 87 percent,

In this episode, Dennis is joined by Kevin Dick, President and Chief Executive Officer Carolina Small Business Development Fund in the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina area. They discuss the importance of small businesses as part of the ecosystem of a community, region, and state.  The Carolina Small Business Development Fund is a not-for-profit organization of over 30 dedicated professionals with three focus areas - small business financial capital, small business technical assistance and growth, and policy research/development. Since 2020, the organization has seen a dramatic increase in loan production and has provided loans, loan modifications, deferred payments, and grants to over 1,200 businesses throughout the State of NC. We have eclipsed the $102M mark in capital deployment dating back to when we began providing loans in 2010 and growing the number from $71M to $102M in three years. We have an outstanding team that is all in on equitable economic development and helping small businesses grow. WE ARE TORCH BEARERS - Providing small business loans, training, and research to support entrepreneurs. Our Story Carolina Small Business Development Fund (CSBDF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit guided by the belief that when small businesses succeed, everyone benefits. When we first opened our doors in 1990 as the North Carolina Minority Support Center, we were providing technical assistance to financial institutions and entrepreneurs, and in our first 20 years of service to our state, we administered millions of dollars in grants to help address the needs of unserved and underserved people and communities. When the financial crisis of 2008 threatened Main Street firms across our state and nation, our leadership knew that we were in the position to not only double down on our work serving underserved communities, but to expand our services as well. We ushered in a new era for our work in 2011, when we made our first loan to a North Carolina small business, and eventually became a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) in 2013. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic's economic aftershocks, we doubled down once again and expanded our services to ensure that our state's small businesses could succeed, and the communities they serve would benefit.  Since opening in 1990, we have met entrepreneurs at the crossroads of hardship and opportunity—and we will continue to light the way forward for whatever comes next

Are you wondering if passive income from real estate investments still holds up during economic downturns? In this insightful episode of REady2Scale, host Ellie Perlman explores this critical question from her HQ in California. As a seasoned investor and the founder of Blue Lake Capital, Ellie delves deeply into current market dynamics, underscoring the resilience and inflation-hedging potential of multifamily real estate. Through her expert analysis, listeners gain a sophisticated understanding of why these investments remain valuable even in challenging economic conditions. Key Insights: -Economic Context: Ellie discusses the cautious approach of investors and institutions who are now re-engaging with the real estate market after a period of waiting out uncertain economic signals, including interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve. -Historical Performance: Drawing on data from past recessions, such as the 2008 financial crisis, Ellie highlights the stable returns of multifamily properties compared to other investment types like stocks. -Inflation and Rent Dynamics: The episode covers how multifamily properties can combat inflation through regular rental increases, reflecting on the sector's ability to adjust rents annually or biannually in line with inflation. -Investment Strategies: With a more conservative market approach prevalent today, Ellie stresses the importance of prudent underwriting and choosing fixed-rate debts over variable ones. She explains that current investments are structured with potential economic contractions in mind, making them potentially safer. -Market Selection: Ellie contrasts different U.S. markets, advising on the potential of places like the Raleigh-Durham area while cautioning against more volatile markets like San Francisco. Takeaways for Listeners: Listeners can gain an understanding of why and how passive income from multifamily investments remains viable, even in less favorable economic conditions. Ellie encourages investors to perform due diligence and not shy away from investing if they are equipped with the right knowledge and strategies. This episode is particularly valuable for accredited investors looking to make informed decisions about real estate investments amidst a fluctuating economic landscape. Ellie's insights provide a realistic yet optimistic view of the opportunities that still exist for generating passive income through real estate. Prefer to listen in? View the transcripts here.

I LOVE today's convo with burnout recovery coach and Enneagram expert, Hillarie Kay.  Not only does she have deep personal experience with burnout (her very first story is about winding up in the hospital with a presumed heart attack, only to think, "I don't have time to rest, give me drugs!")... she has a deep understanding of what drives us to burnout in the first place. If you've ever found yourself wondering if there's more to life than "rise and grind," this one's for you.  Can't-Miss Moments from This Episode:The surprising reason most affirmations DON'T work (and what you can do instead to help reprogram your brain)... To follow or not to follow: Hillarie and I reveal how we decide whether to take a "guru's" advice or follow our own guts (this one is so simple, yet most people won't do it)... Bad news: all the growth strategies work. Good news: all the growth strategies work. Now what are you going to do about it?"You attract how you act" - Hillarie's BRILLIANT and catchy mantra will help you spot what you're doing to bring people to your world... for better or worse.The shocking reason a lot of businesses fail (and it has nothing to do with capital, or clients, or any of the typical "success" metrics)...Hillarie's bio:I'm Hillarie Kay a burnout recovery coach, speaker, trainer, and author. Prior to becoming a third-generation business owner, I forged my path in corporate America, specializing in public relations and marketing. In 2016, I established a full-service marketing agency. In 2020, I underwent a pivotal career transition, delving into the realm of business coaching using the power of the Enneagram personality framework to guide entrepreneurs and teams toward greater success. Since then, I've coached and collaborated with a diverse range of entrepreneurs and teams, spanning from innovative startups to industry giants within the Fortune 100 space. My passion lies in supporting high achievers, corporate executives, and teams in their quest to prevent burnout, enhance communication, and optimize performance through the transformative lens of the Enneagram. My husband, two sons, three stepsons, and I split our time between Southeast Missouri and the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina.

According to Dr Damon Tweedy there a connection between the historic struggle for civil rights and today's struggle for more mainstream mental healthcare. In 2016, Tweedy wrote Black Man in a White Coat, his bestselling reflections on race and medicine. And now the Duke University based doctor is back with Facing the Unseen, a book making the case for what he calls “centering” mental health in medicine. In both his new book and this conversation, Dr Tweedy argues for a more comprehensive and integrated approach in which people afflicted with mental illness have a healthcare system that prioritizes their full well-being.DAMON TWEEDY is a graduate of Duke University School of Medicine. He is a professor of psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine and staff physician at the Durham Veteran Affairs Health System. He has published articles about race and medicine in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
