Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) sit down with advertising veteran and author Mark Robinson to discuss his book Pitch Black: The Best Black Ads of the Past Fifty Plus Years. Robinson explains how he assembled a panel of Black creative directors, each assigned a specific decade, to select the ads that shaped the book rather than choosing them himself. The conversation traces a three-decade evolution in Black consumer advertising, from 1950s ad-buy inclusion that funded publications like Ebony and Jet, through 1960s representation demands, into the 1970s Black pride movement that gave rise to Black-owned agencies such as Procter and Gardner. Robinson also shares his hopes for the book's future, including an exhibit at the National Museum of African American History and Culture and a possible PBS documentary, and mentions that historian Henry Louis Gates has read and supported the project.The trivia round covers Pepsi-Cola's 1940 Negro Markets Department, the surprising role of Black-owned VJ Records in bringing the Beatles' music to America ahead of Capitol Records, Coca-Cola's "Hilltop" commercial and its songwriter Roquel "Billy" Davis, and the real woman behind Aunt Jemima, Nancy Green. That trivia leads into a broader discussion of how platforms like Disney Plus handle older, racially outdated content such as Song of the South and Aristocats. They also run a Star Trek-themed matchup covering Benjamin Sisko, Michael Burnham, Nyota Uhura, Guinan, Geordi La Forge, B'Elanna Torres, Worf, and Tuvok, weighing each character's place in the franchise's history of representation. The episode closes with a candid Big Mad segment touching on ICE and immigration coverage, before Robinson points people toward his book and his website, markrobinson-writing.com.Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠⁠⁠⁠

It was my privilege this week to host Chilliwack singer Bill Henderson on NSTS, and the conversation was a lot of fun.   Bill and I discuss the remaining dates on Chilliwack's current cross-Canada tour, the similarities between Chilliwack and Three Dog Night, why John Lennon sucks air through his teeth during "Girl", Bill's influence on Albert King (great story), his elevator encounter with Ray Charles, and the power within Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors".     

Send us Fan MailIt might be the end ... but maybe it's not the end. It's been hard to tell just when, exactly, the Minnesota Twins season is or will be over from a playoff hopes standpoint. Surely, though, losing two out of three to the Chicago White Sox did not help their cause. David and Dan discuss how much hope they should have left and when we should be turning focus to how what remains of this season could affect the 2027 season. David is looking at Ryan Jeffers and sees a lot of senioritis; Dan is asking whether it's time to shut down Byron Buxton and the other veterans. They look around at the scandal at Coors Field and also the scandal in Ann Arbor, and they harbor enough hope on this season to make their picks for the Tigers series.

Send us Fan MailThere is less than a month of the regular season remaining and the Minnesota Twins continue to tread water along the edge of the wild card following a series win over the Detroit Tigers. Both David and Dan lament the Game 3 loss and all the chances the Twins had to win it before the Tigers did. David is happy to see Derek Shelton doing everything he can to win games; Dan likes what he sees when Kody Clemens hits a home run. They are perplexed as to how the Twins will explain not calling up Walker Jenkins earlier, and they both are excited about what the future holds for this team as they hope for baseball in 2027.

Send us Fan MailThe Minnesota Twins drop 2 of 3 to the Chicago White at Target Field in Minneapolis. "The Chaos" Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan and the boys try and keep their spirits high feeling that the postseason chances are slipping away from the Twins. Hoges is pumped about Walker Jenkins MLB debut, and David relishes Luke Keaschall's stellar series performance. David gives his plug for the Minnesota State Fair, while Hoges tries to start an international conflict.

Send us Fan MailMuch to the disappointment of David and Dan, and most certainly the Minnesota Twins as well, the Twins lose two of three in Sacramento to the Athletics, the team with the worst record in the American League. And to make it worse, Byron Buxton has aggravated his hip injury. David analyzes that play and worries that Luke Keaschall may not be up to the task of playing center field. Dan is curious if Derek Shelton has a little Herb Brooks in him, and David delves again into the murky waters of Walker Jenkins' call-up status. There is still hope, they agree, but that hope is slim, and much rides on the next stretch of series against AL Central teams.

Send us Fan MailThe back-and-forth nature of the Minnesota Twins' relationship with the National League continued this weekend as the Twins lost all three games they played in San Diego to the surging Padres. David got the result he expected, though he and Dan hoped for better in Game 2. Dan has questions for Derek Shelton about his pitching choices in Game 1, but David defends the manager's work in Game 2. David has yet to hear a good argument about when it's OK to change your fandom, though Dan sees a way to make it legitimate. They both are confused about Luke Keaschall's haircut, and they question Kaelen Culpepper's judgment at shortstop.

Send us Fan MailIn one of the bigger surprises of a surprising season, the Minnesota Twins didn't just beat the Atlanta Braves in a series -- they swept them at Target Field. David, fresh off attending two of the games, is full of praise for manager Derek Shelton, for DH Josh Bell and for many more members of a team that is now alone in the third AL wild card position. Dan is still hung up on the absence of Walker Jenkins and the call-up instead of Alex Jackson. Both are happy to see the success of the Twins' bullpen since the deadline.

Send us Fan MailAfter looking as if they might salvage a victory in this three-game series, the Minnesota Twins get swept by the Philadelphia Phillies: one game in Iowa and two more at Target Field. David, who was in Iowa for its state fair, sees the Minnesota State Fair as far better than what Iowa offered. Dan is convinced that he must make a trip to the Field of Dreams at some point, even if the Twins aren't playing there. Both of them are still hopeful about the Twins' chances considering the schedule ahead, and they are curious to see who gets called up to take Austin Martin's spot after the outfielder injured his hamstring on Sunday.

Send us Fan MailPlaying at home for the first time in August, the Minnesota Twins took two of three games against the Baltimore Orioles, a fellow AL Wild Card contender. David mounts a defense of Alan Roden that frankly confuses Dan, who is ready to send Roden back to Triple-A to clear a roster spot for Byron Buxton. They are equally mixed on what to do with Kaelen Culpepper while being impressed with the play lately from Josh Bell in the DH spot. They discuss the strange play in the Blue Jays-Red Sox game earlier this week as well as a darkhorse bid for an MLB expansion team.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller, an international bestselling author, TEDx speaker, EQ and empathy coach, and leading voice on emotional intelligence. After a 30-year career as a professional musician working with legendary talent like Ray Charles, David Ogden Stiers, and Mannheim Steamroller, toxic leadership eventually robbed her of her career. However, that incident inspired Dr. Melissa to transform leadership as we know it by redefining the one element that most leaders miss: empathy.  Together, we explore how she transitioned from music to interdisciplinary leadership, why empathy is a strategic skill for better productivity and profit, and how self-empathy lays the foundation for all human-centric action    In this episode, we discuss: How a 30-year career in music playing alongside icons like Ray Charles shifted into leadership consulting after experiencing toxic workplace leadership Debunking the myth that empathy is "just about feelings" by exploring its 43 different definitions The three core types of empathy for leaders: emotional, cognitive, and self-empathy  The 4-step framework for self-empathy: self-observation, self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-compassion Why self-observation requires approaching your actions like a computer—critical, not caring, and without judgment Why empathy itself has no action, and how jumping straight into fixing things causes misplaced compassion The crucial difference between being "nice" as a social lubricant and being truly "kind"  How sympathy (looking through your own eyes) differs from true empathy (looking through another person's perspective) Why empathy must come first in your toolkit before applying emotional intelligence skills How leaders can build an empathetic workplace culture by modeling behavior from the top down Dr. Melissa's TEDx talk, her handbook The Empathic Leader, and her vision to launch a center for leadership and empathy innovation    About Dr. Melissa: As a professional musician, Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller worked with major talent such as Ray Charles, David Ogden Stiers, and Mannheim Steamroller. But cold and toxic leadership eventually robbed her of a career that was 30+ years in the making. However, that incident inspired Dr. Melissa to transform leadership as we know it by redefining the one element that most leaders miss: empathy. Today, she's an international bestselling author, Editor's Pick TEDx speaker, EQ and empathy coach, and leading voice on emotional intelligence and empathy. She's known for blending lived experience, academic depth, and a sharp, data-driven approach that not only makes sense but demystifies how empathy translates to better productivity, innovation, and profit. Her mission is to invite everyone to approach empathy as a strategic skill for every human-centric action, not only for others but also for ourselves, and to step up in the way the future of leadership demands.

Send us Fan MailAfter the Minnesota Twins took the first game in this three-game set against the Milwaukee Brewers, David and Dan found themselves wanting another victory. But they and the Twins settle for just one in this border battle against the National League's best team. David shares his experiences from watching the Savannah Bananas at Target Field with his family, and he works through the ups and downs of Royce Lewis' performance this series. Dan is pleased to see Kody Funderburk's excellent play over the last couple of months, and he, like David, thinks that if Kaelen Culpepper is on this team, surely Walker Jenkins should be, too.

On todays Wayback Machine on NH Unscripted we're playing songs that talk about failure, featuring songs by The Beatles, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, and many more!

Send us Fan MailIt wasn't the outcome that might have been expected after the way the Minnesota Twins handled the MLB trade deadline, but the Twins do come away with one victory in Kansas City, and they still managed to keep pace in the AL Central. David and Dan discuss the close competition for playoff spots in the American League and how they think the Twins will figure in that as they head into a difficult stretch of opponents. They are at odds over whether Tom Pohlad can be trusted, even after coming through with some trades this week. But they are in agreement that Royce Lewis looks great, Joe Ryan should have said something earlier, and that there are two key prospects waiting in St. Paul who should no longer be waiting for their call-up.

Send us Fan MailThe Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the Seattle Mariners, both of them in walk-off fashion, ending a series that felt eerily like the Twins' last trip to Seattle -- and in a way, much like an inversion of their most recent series against the Kansas City Royals. Hoges fills in for the traveling David again to discuss the series with Dan, who was able to attend all three games in Seattle. Dan pins a lot of blame on the starters' troubles in the first inning, and Hoges pins plenty of blame on Royce Lewis for his mishandling of the last play of Game 2. They also discuss the future of Trevor Larnach, Victor Caratini and Alex Jackson, and they assess the new bullpen order after the trades this week.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, R&B Pioneer Award winner, and original founding member of Sly & the Family Stone, Jerry Martini joins “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira” for a conversation celebrating one of the most influential bands in music history. Jerry, along with Phunne Stone and The Family Stone, will perform in Myron's at The Smith Center August 8, bringing the legendary music of Sly & the Family Stone to a new generation of fans. Jerry shares what has fueled his remarkable career for more than six decades and why he's determined to "bop till I drop." He reflects on growing up with Sly Stone, watching his childhood friend become a popular Bay Area DJ, and witnessing the birth of a musical revolution when Sly assembled Sly & the Family Stone in December 1965. Jerry recalls believing from the very beginning that Sly was a musical genius, reveals that the band's first performance together was in Las Vegas, and remembers how entertainment legends regularly packed their shows. The conversation also explores the band's surprising love of country music, the artists who inspired Jerry—including Ray Charles and Billy Preston—and how Sly & the Family Stone forever changed popular music by blending rock, funk, soul, and R&B into a groundbreaking sound. From timeless classics like "Dance to the Music," "Everyday People," and "Hot Fun in the Summertime" to behind-the-scenes stories few fans have ever heard, this episode is a celebration of music, friendship, innovation, and a legacy that continues to inspire generations.

Send us Fan MailSandwiched around one of their most disappointing games of the season were two of the Minnesota Twins' most exciting ones, with walk-off hits from Royce Lewis and Kody Clemens giving them a series victory over the visiting Kansas City Royals. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for David and raves about the walk-offs as well as the Twins' bullpen, which made both the victories possible. Dan stands pat with his feelings about the trade deadline, while Hoges is still prepared to trade one of the team's key players so long as Minnesota gets a good return. They look around the league at Tariq Skubal's possible landing spots, and generally they just bask in the joy of watching a team in late July contend for the playoffs.

You're killing me, Smalls. This week on a Be Kind Rewind, Dave, Cody, & Paul Walcher head back to the summer of 1962 for The Sandlot (1993), a movie that flopped with critics and became a multigenerational classic anyway. We get into what holds up (the Ray Charles fireworks scene, Ham roasting an entire lineup of batters, the ensemble of kid actors who genuinely became friends), what doesn't (the pool scene, and yes we talk about it honestly), and the behind-the-scenes stuff you might not know.Plus: a genuine three-way argument about whether Denis Leary is the winner or the loser of this movie, a full Muppetize (Cody casts the entire film), a Pastor's Corner on inclusion for inclusion's sake and the monsters we build in our own heads, and where the cast actually ended up. Bonus: it's Dave's birthday, we ask what posters you had on your wall as a kid, and a brutal round of the Movie Game.

David praises the pitching staff's performance but questions Derek Shelton's use of a newly healthy reliever, and Dan slips up and calls the Twins' third catcher by the wrong first name.

Live backstage from the historic circle at the Grand Ole Opry, Jamie sits down with multi-platinum country artist, songwriter, and producer Niko Moon to celebrate the release of his deeply personal new album, ROOTS (out now via EMPIRE). Moving past the sun-drenched, coastal escapism of his previous hits like the triple-platinum anthem "GOOD TIME," Niko opens up like never before. He shares his true origin story, detailing his childhood family hardships, growing up in a Georgia trailer home with no electricity, and the hard-earned optimism that shapes both his life and his career today. In an industry often fixated on superficial milestones and commercial checkmarks, Niko details the exact turning point when he disengaged from the noise to focus on what truly matters: family, mental health, and passing on light to others through his nonprofit, the Happy Cowboy Foundation. __ Inside the Episode: The Practice of Joy: Niko discusses the deliberate mental conditioning required to intentionally choose joy daily, even when navigating life's darkest challenges. From the Trailer to the Circle: A powerful reflection on childhood poverty—what the young boy from Georgia would say to the man standing on the legendary stage of the Grand Ole Opry tonight. Ditching the Industry Checklist: Niko shares when and how he walked away from the superficial expectations of the music business to protect his peace and purpose. The Sound of ROOTS: A look inside the sonic blend of Texas, Georgia, and Nashville, featuring his rare Ray Charles interpolation on "GEORGIA (ROOTS)." __ Connect with Niko Moon: Learn more about the Happy Cowboy Foundation: https://happycowboyfoundation.org/ Connect with Jrodconcerts Media: Instagram: https://instagram.com/jrodconcertsmedia Website: https://www.jrodconcertsmedia.com __ Support The Show: Apple Pay: Whether you're shopping online for everyday needs or treating yourself, skip the hassle.

David continues to defend Derek Shelton's creative use of Luke Keaschall, who had ups and downs during this series against the Los Angeles Angels. Dan is pleased with how Shelton handled the pitching staff and how he's basically helped this team become exactly what Dan thought it would be at this point in the season.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the GRAND FINALE (Session 12) on lyin' Michelle Alexander's *The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness*. Alexander has a living White mother and a deceased Black father. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration for her work, Gus T. anticipated this title being one of the "5 Worst Books Ever." History shows that racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy. This week, we drop the final Mario Elie "Kiss of Death" three-pointer on this text, permanently closing the casket on a 15-year academic hustle. We open the final chapter, *Obama: The Promise and the Peril*, and interrogate the absolute peak of her biographical dishonesty where she explicitly labels Affirmative Action a "racial bribe" that Black people must surrender to play academic "games of chicken" with their own survival. We back up our 12-week forensic media audit by deploying a devastating 14-minute custom audio track from our own 2010 CREE archive and 2016 public media slips. We let the Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar, Ray Charles, and Neely Fuller Jr. audio do the talking because Michelle Alexander has officially fouled out of the game! THE 15-POINT FORENSIC AUDIT SUMMARY: 1. The Manufactured "Underdog" Narrative: Claims she launched to half-empty rooms to conceal the massive institutional "push" that put her on C-SPAN, NPR, and Democracy Now within 5 months of publication. 2. Systemic Deception by Omission: Completely erases COINTELPRO, Jon Burge's torture ring, Attica, and the Black Panthers to bury earlier, more accurate structural work on the Prison-Industrial Complex. 3. Hidden Biographical Motivation: Willfully conceals her multi-ethnic background to hide her personal family defenses under the guise of objective scholarship. 4. Centering White Trauma: Explicitly argues that White women who chose to have interracial relationships under Jim Crow were primary, injured victims of a racial caste system. 5. The Fraudulent "Bribe" Thesis: Claims White people must be "bribed" to practice Racism, belied by a System of White Supremacy where whiteness automatically requires total domination. 6. Reckless Statistical Manipulation: Arbitrarily changes her state prison violent offender statistic from 33% to 52% between editions with zero data reconciliation or explanation. 7. Specious Claims as Fact: Drops massive, sweeping assertions straight onto the print page with absolutely zero footnotes or supporting empirical documentation. 8. The 1980s Progress Myth: Asserts that by the 1980s, the vast majority of White people opposed the practice of Racism—a completely ahistorical claim unsupported by any evidence. 9. Pathologizing Defense Mechanisms: Labels Affirmative Action a "racial bribe" for Black people, telling the victims of state terror to disarm while the system keeps its weapons. 10. Erasing the Real Beneficiaries: Refuses to inform readers of macro-data showing that White women have historically benefited most from Affirmative Action pipelines. 11. The "Accidental" Absolution: Labors mightily to frame the White power structure as ignorant, well-meaning, and "accidentally" racist to shield calculated state intent from exposure. 12. Coddling Whites, Targeting Black Institutions: Sweeps away structural White guilt while using print space to aggressively scold the CBC, the NAACP, and Bill Cosby. 13. Minstrel Linguistic Framing: Selectively quotes Black interviewees in broken, stereotypical English to frame them as inarticulate and implicitly deserving of incarceration. 14. Double-Dipping the Carceral Ledger: Hides that her husband Carter Stewart profited as a federal prosecutor caging Black bodies, while she profited off the fake literary outrage industry. 15. White-Identified Pronoun Usage: Deploys a slippery use of "we," "us," and "our" to identify with White spaces and lump the victims of Racism in as equally culpable for the system.

The show OPEN... Whitney Houston... Ray Charles... the heat... and tom at the gas station!

We had such a wonderful conversation with Rainer Zitelmann on The Breggin Hour — the kind that leaves you feeling hopeful about the future while reminding you how important it is to keep fighting for truth, freedom, and justice. Rainer is a historian, a sociologist, and an author who has written more than thirty books, including two that really caught our attention: In Defense of Capitalism: Debunking the Myths and his latest, New Space Capitalism. He joined us from Berlin, and right away, you could feel his warmth, curiosity, and genuine excitement about big ideas. Why Capitalism Still Matters   Rainer has been sounding the alarm about the dangers of socialism for years. When he warned about it eight years ago, some people rolled their eyes and said, “Who believes in socialism anymore?” Well… here we are. The financial heart of the US and one of the greatest American cities, New York City, has now elected its first Democratic Socialist Mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Rainer would have preferred to be wrong, but events keep proving his point. He loves good discussion — even when people push back hard. As he put it, the stages are: first, they ignore you, then they attack you, and eventually, they say they knew it all along. The Space Revolution Happening Right Now One of the most exciting parts of the interview was hearing Rainer talk about the new space age. He told the story of Elon Musk's early dreams of making humanity multi-planetary — a vision that started with a crazy idea and a trip to Russia to buy rockets (where they apparently weren't too impressed at first or maybe thought he was a US agent trying to steal their space technology!). Fast-forward, and SpaceX is now launching more rockets than entire countries. Rainer pointed out that last year, SpaceX alone did more launches than all other nations combined in many categories. The reusability of those rockets — something governments struggled with for decades — has dramatically cut costs. He explained the difference in incentives: under the old government model, higher costs often meant higher profits for contractors. With private companies like SpaceX, lowering costs means bigger success. That simple shift changes everything. The Power of Private Property — Even in Space Rainer made a strong case that private property rights will be essential if we really want to open up the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty says nations can't claim sovereignty over celestial bodies, but Rainer believes treating space like a giant “commons” won't work any better than it has on Earth. He imagines settlers claiming manageable areas (think the size of Singapore on Mars), turning them into investment and shared-ownership opportunities. His vision is optimistic — not just for billionaires, but for regular people who could one day own a piece of humanity's future in space. Unbreakable Spirit We also talked about Rainer's book Unbreakable Spirit, about people who overcame enormous challenges — born blind, paralyzed, or facing other severe obstacles — yet lived lives of remarkable achievement. He shared the story of Ray Charles, who took full responsibility for both his successes and his struggles. That kind of spirit moved us deeply, especially given Peter's own recovery journey after his stroke. Rainer's admiration for people who refuse to see themselves as victims really comes through. It's the same attitude he sees in the great entrepreneurs pushing humanity forward. A Warm Message of Hope Listening to Rainer feels like talking with a friend who still believes in big dreams and human potential. He loves the American spirit of bold goals and personal responsibility. As he quoted Robert Zubrin: “Freedom will give us space. Space will give us freedom.” Whether it's defending capitalism here on Earth or imagining humanity's next steps among the stars, Rainer reminds us that real progress comes from freedom, courage, and the willingness to take responsibility for our own lives. We thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and highly recommend checking out Rainer's books — especially In Defense of Capitalism, Unbreakable Spirit, and New Space Capitalism. They're full of that rare quality, hope, as well as clear thinking and fresh perspective at a time when we need both. Meet the Guest Rainer Zitelmann is a historian, sociologist, entrepreneur, investor, and internationally bestselling author.

What happens when walking into a room means absorbing every ounce of tension, distress, and unsaid emotion inside it?Many of us are taught that great leadership requires carrying the emotional weight of our teams. We step in to smooth things over, fix conflicts that aren't ours to solve, and mistake constant rescue missions for true connection. The result isn't better leadership, it is exhaustion.In this episode, Amy sits down with global emotional intelligence and empathy expert Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller to map out a clear blueprint for protecting your energy without shutting out your humanity. Drawing from her raw pivot point out of a toxic workplace environment and later experiencing those same broken patterns in other work spaces, Dr. Melissa shares the definitive distinction between reading a room and taking responsibility for it.This conversation is a radical reframe on human connection. You will discover how to stand in your own power, deploy data-backed perspective-taking, and implement the boundaries necessary to stop treating everyone else's distress as your circus to fix.Moments That Create Momentum:The "Not My Circus" Rule: Why walking into a room and feeling everyone else's tension isn't a gift, it's a boundary failure that is secretly draining you.The Revenue Shield: The deeply unsettling reason why elite organizations intentionally protect toxic high-performers and narcissists.The Empathy Illusion: Dr. Melissa shares why empathy is passive, and how jumping straight into "fixing" things actually triggers misplaced, destructive compassion.The Danger of Being "Nice": Why standard corporate manners are often just a mask for insincerity, and the reason true kindness requires telling the ugly truth.The Self-Rescue Mandate: Why launching into service for others before mastering self-empathy is a fast track to destroying your own career.About the Guest:As professional musician, Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller worked with major talent such as Ray Charles, David Ogden Stiers, and Mannheim Steamroller. But cold and toxic leadership eventually robbed her of a career that was 30+ years in the making. However, that incident inspired Dr. Melissa to transform leadership as we know it by redefining the one element that most leaders miss: empathy. Today, she's an international bestselling author, Editor's Pick TEDx speaker, EQ and empathy coach, and leading voice on emotional intelligence and empathy. She's known for blending lived experience, academic depth, and a sharp, data-driven approach that not only makes sense but demystifies how empathy translates to better productivity, innovation, and profit. Her mission is to invite everyone to approach empathy as a strategic skill for every human-centric action, not only for others but also for ourselves, and to step up in the way the future of leadership demands.https://eqviaempathy.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-melissa-a-robinson-winemiller-author-speaker-trainerhttps://www.instagram.com/empathyqueen.eqhttps://www.youtube.com/@TheEmpathicLeaderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaoXSEWeILo&t=63shttps://geni.us/TheEmpathicLeaderAbout Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.
