Dr. Lonnie Nelson On this episode host Raj Sundar sits down with Dr. Lonnie Nelson, a clinical psychologist and member of the Cherokee Indians, to explore the importance of centering Native communities in healthcare research and practice. We learn about how Lonnie's personal experiences with family health challenges shaped his professional journey, and how he reframes common clinical approaches to focus on culture, self-determination, and relational trust. They dive deep into the role of "culture as medicine," uncovering how traditional practices and genuine human connection can foster healing far beyond what Western medicine often recognizes. They also discuss Lonnie's work addressing health disparities, brain health research in urban Native elders, and the need to move away from transactional, role-based healthcare toward true person-centered care.

Daniele Gottardo is an Italian guitarist and composer known for his dazzling technique, innovative use of tapping, and sophisticated approach to composition. Born in 1983 in Rovigo, Italy, he began his musical journey at a young age, first inspired by classical and jazz traditions before immersing himself in rock and fusion. His unique style blends virtuosic guitar playing with orchestral sensibilities, making him stand out in the modern guitar community as more than just a shred player—he's also a forward-thinking composer.Gottardo first rose to international recognition in 2009 when he won the prestigious Guitar Idol competition in London, a contest that helped launch the careers of several modern guitar virtuosos. This win showcased not only his technical abilities but also his originality, as he presented music that leaned heavily into compositional depth rather than just flash. Following this achievement, he released his debut album Frenzy of Ecstasy (2010), a record that immediately drew attention for its complex arrangements and innovative use of extended guitar techniques.In 2016, he followed up with his second album, Invent Your Future, which further cemented his reputation as a guitarist with a unique voice. Unlike many instrumental rock guitar albums that focus primarily on soloing, Gottardo's work incorporates orchestral textures, cinematic arrangements, and advanced harmonic concepts. His pieces often sound as though they could be scored for film, balancing technical fireworks with strong melodic sensibilities. This compositional focus sets him apart from many of his contemporaries in the shred and progressive guitar scenes.Beyond his solo work, Gottardo has been active as a composer and educator. He has written concert pieces that blend electric guitar with orchestra, underscoring his passion for uniting rock guitar with classical traditions. He also contributes to guitar education through masterclasses, instructional material, and collaborations with music schools worldwide. His lessons often emphasize not only technique but also harmony, counterpoint, and creativity, encouraging players to see the guitar as a vehicle for broader musical expression.Today, Daniele Gottardo is considered one of the most forward-thinking guitarists of his generation. He is admired not only by fans of technical guitar playing but also by musicians who appreciate his commitment to composition and artistry. His career bridges the worlds of rock virtuosity and classical sophistication, making him a modern pioneer in instrumental music. As both a performer and composer, he continues to inspire a new generation of guitarists to look beyond speed and technique and embrace the broader possibilities of musical storytelling.https://officialdanielegottardo.com/

In this episode, AJ breaks down why culture in today's world needs explicit baselines. Job descriptions and performance reviews aren't enough — organizations must clearly define what “great,” “good,” and “okay” actually look like, especially in a world reshaped by AI, constant change, and human complexity. Without clarity, people operate in fog; with it, they gain alignment, safety, and the ability to perform at the level the game demands.

Fundraisers Friday cohosts Julia C. Patrick and Tony Beall dive into a thought-provoking conversation about the future of corporate sponsorships, the changing dynamics of nonprofit partnerships, and the launch of their new book, The Architecture of Fundraising.The show kicks off with Julia setting the tone for a discussion that is anything but light—because corporate sponsorships in 2026 will demand more strategy, accountability, and creativity than ever before.Tony adds his perspective, explaining how employee engagement has overtaken gala tables as the centerpiece of sponsorship. He explains: “When structured well, employee engagement helps a corporation develop emerging leaders through volunteerism, while strengthening teams through shared service experiences.”Julia expands the conversation by connecting sponsorships to employee retention, HR priorities, and brand loyalty. She shares real stories from her career, including the tough calls nonprofits face when lucrative corporate dollars come from companies with misaligned values. Together, the cohosts explore how consumer behavior and corporate reputation intersect with philanthropy, reminding us that today's donors and customers expect alignment of values, not just a logo on a program.The episode doesn't shy away from controversy. DEIB funding withdrawals, politically charged sponsorships, and “cancel culture” pressure on corporations have already reshaped the landscape. Julia tells of an advisory board that lost funding simply for using DEIB language, while Tony points to Pride organizations nationwide that saw longtime sponsors retreat. Yet both emphasize that diversification of revenue, transparent policies, and mission alignment are essential for weathering these storms.Technology and data are also at the forefront. Sponsors are no longer satisfied with anecdotes or temporary goodwill; they want measurable outcomes. Julia and Tony challenge nonprofits to track impact rigorously, report frequently, and integrate sponsor ROI into community stories. The conversation makes clear: numbers, stories, and values all matter—and nonprofits that can weave them together will win long-term partnerships.This episode motivates nonprofits to rethink how they approach corporate sponsors. The message is unmistakable: the future of sponsorships is about long-term vision, measurable impact, and authentic alignment.Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

What happens when a software startup becomes a full-service, AI-powered architecture firm?This week on Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee is joined by Patrick Chopson, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Cove Architecture (formerly Cove Tool). What began as a mission to provide architects with performance analysis tools has evolved into Cove Architecture, the first AI-driven practice reimagining how buildings are conceived, coordinated, and delivered.Patrick shares the story of Cove's evolution, from its roots as a SaaS platform to its pivot into consultancy, and now into a full-service design studio backed by over $36 million in venture funding. Their debut project, a multifamily complex in Atlanta's West End, was designed in just 15 days, demonstrating how AI can accelerate timelines by 60%, improve cost accuracy, and cut iteration expenses nearly in half.Beyond efficiency, Patrick envisions AI as a force for design excellence. By offloading code checks, zoning analysis, and cost modeling, architects are freed to focus on creativity, meaning, and beauty. He reflects on how Cove integrates human expertise with machine intelligence, how AI supports senior architects in elevating design, and why training and mentorship must adapt in this new era.The conversation also touches on the business model of architecture: how venture capital is reshaping practice, what “AI-powered but human-centered” really means, and how these tools might democratize design for firms of all sizes.“Being AI-powered doesn't mean removing the human from the process. It means empowering the expert architect to do what they do best: elevate design, mentor the next generation, and create lasting impact.” - Patrick ChopsonThis episode concludes with a reflection on the future of practice: from profitability and scale to sustainability and mentorship. Patrick challenges architects to see AI not as a threat, but as an opportunity to design more bespoke, more sustainable, and more beautiful buildings, and to build a profession that is more resilient for generations to come.Guest:Patrick Chopson, AIA is Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Cove Architecture.

Overview: We sit down with Dr. Lonnie Nelson, a clinical psychologist and member of the Cherokee Indians, to explore the importance of centering Native communities in healthcare research and practice. We learn about how Lonnie's personal experiences with family health challenges shaped his professional journey, and how he reframes common clinical approaches to focus on culture, self-determination, and relational trust. We dive deep into the role of "culture as medicine," uncovering how traditional practices and genuine human connection can foster healing far beyond what Western medicine often recognizes. We also discuss Lonnie's work addressing health disparities, brain health research in urban Native elders, and the need to move away from transactional, role-based healthcare toward true person-centered care. Three Takeaways: - Community-Driven Research, Not Researcher-Imposed SolutionsLonnie Nelson's approach flips the traditional research model by centering the priorities of American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Rather than imposing outside solutions, he collaborates with community members to identify needs and co-create potential interventions, then seeks funding to rigorously test these ideas. This honors cultural wisdom and ensures research is relevant and respectful. -Reclaiming Indigenous Roots in Motivational InterviewingA fascinating point Nelson brings up is that motivational interviewing—a mainstream therapeutic technique—has roots in Indigenous traditions. He highlights that its effectiveness comes from Native practices grounded in respect, non-judgment, and relational conversation. However, much of Western healthcare training strips these origins, sometimes making the approach feel manipulative; Nelson, instead, works to restore its original, culturally-grounded intent. -The Native Concept of “Medicine” is Holistic and TransformativeIn Native cultures, “medicine” isn't just pharmaceuticals or interventions—it's anything that can transform how you feel, from the smell of your grandmother's kitchen to community rituals. Nelson stresses that when Native people say, “culture is medicine,” it's about emotional and spiritual transformation—not just physical wellness.

When we think about better time management and how to increase productivity, it's tempting to believe that if we could perfectly color-code our calendars or find the best scheduling hack, all the overwhelm and stress would disappear. Those of us who have tried those methods time and again, yet still feel overworked and frustrated, know they're not the quick fix we want them to be. Here's the good news: increasing productivity gets easier when you embrace holistic time management and accept yourself right where you are.In this episode, I'm thrilled to bring you an incredible interview with productivity coach Neill Williams. Neill is a Master Coach who specializes in helping female entrepreneurs improve productivity, efficiency, and performance, and she hosts the podcast, Success Genius. She is an advocate for taking care of yourself and building a business that truly supports you. You'll love her insights on how to increase productivity in a way that aligns with the life you want to create.One of the things I admire most about Neill's approach to productivity is how she focuses on its connection to science and physiology. Productivity isn't just about the clock—your mind, body, and emotions play a huge role in your time management. When we force ourselves to stick to a calendar or use external tools to fit the mold of productivity, we reinforce patterns of overworking and stress. Neill invites you to accept the unique state of your body, mind, and emotions to unlock a new kind of productivity–one that actually works for you.The most important factor in increasing productivity is taking into account what's happening inside of you–embracing it as part of your efficiency power, rather than something that's wrong with you. I'm so glad you're here with me to discover a new way forward. Let's do it!What you'll learn:The powerful impact of the nervous system on productivity and performanceWhat to do when your physiology doesn't match the plan you made on your calendarHow your “body budget” impacts focus and efficiencyExamples of tools to use to calm your nervous system and increase focusWhy slowing down can actually increase productivityYou can read the full show notes here.About Neill Williams Neill Williams is a Master Certified Life Coach, productivity expert, and host of the "Success Genius" podcast. After burning out as a corporate actuary working 60-80 hour weeks, Neill discovered how to leverage neuroscience and circadian rhythms to build successful coaching practice working just 10 hours per week. Diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases, Neill dove deep into the intersection of biology and productivity, creating the revolutionary 10-Hour Week Method that helps entrepreneurs get 40 hours of results in just 10 hours.

I just turned 30, and in this episode of Don't Depend on Daddy I'm sharing how I'm elevating my life, money, career, and personal routines in this new decade. Your 20s are full of pressure — land your dream job, save $100K, get married, buy a house. But what happens when you don't check every box before 30? The truth is, your 30s are the beginning of your prime. This video breaks down the financial habits, career moves, and lifestyle upgrades that I'm making as I step into this chapter.✨ What you'll learn:
You've heard it before: “Post three times a week.” “Show up every Tuesday at 9am.” “Consistency is everything.”But here's the truth — traditional consistency advice doesn't work for everyone, and it's not the only path to success. Especially for neurodivergent entrepreneurs, rigid schedules often lead to shame and burnout, not growth.In this episode, I'm redefining what consistency really means in business. We'll explore how to shift from chasing perfect schedules to creating sustainable rhythms, building trust with your audience, and honoring your true capacity.✨ What you'll learn in this episode:Why “perfect consistency” is a myth that doesn't define successHow to think of consistency as trust, not just frequencyRhythmic and seasonal ways to show up without burning outHow to define your own essential consistency based on capacityWhy client experience matters more than posting schedulesPractical tools and rituals that help neurodivergent brains stay supportedIf you've ever felt guilty for not posting enough, this conversation will help you release the pressure and build a version of consistency that actually works for you.
The new season of Business Class News's Race to the Start Line podcast launched with a conversation that was both deeply personal and profoundly forward-looking. Host Karl Woolfenden sat down with two leaders from Caris Life Sciences—Dr. David Spetzler, President and Chief Scientific Officer, and Dr. James Hamrick, Chairman of the Caris Precision Oncology Alliance —for a discussion on how Caris is transforming the future of cancer care. Woolfenden framed the conversation with personal reflections, sharing how recent losses in his own circle to cancer heightened his awareness of the need for innovation in oncology. “It tightened my awareness,” he said, “of how important it is to spotlight the companies and individuals driving meaningful progress.” Tackling the Complexity of Cancer Caris Life Sciences is a leader in molecular profiling and precision medicine, advancing how oncologists understand and treat cancer. Dr. Spetzler emphasized just how complicated this mission is: “Yeah, so I think what the patents demonstrate is that we're really on the cutting edge of trying to understand cancer. And the complexity of cancer is really quite staggering, because there are no two diseases that are the same.” He explained that Caris has built one of the world's largest datasets in cancer biology. “One of the things that we've been able to do is amass an enormous data set. We're approaching having profiled a million patients, and one of the great advantages that gives us is we can start to understand—from previous patients—new patients' status, and direct them towards the better drugs that are going to help them live longer.” From Science to the Patient Bedside Where Spetzler focused on the science, Dr. James Hamrick provided a clinical lens on the company's work. He reflected on his journey as both a practicing oncologist and now a leader at Caris. “The founder of Caris, and Dr. Spetzler who has been there since 2009, was always that connection point between the science and the patient. And that's where I focus—making sure what we're doing actually makes a difference in the clinic.” Hamrick highlighted the importance of ensuring that breakthroughs aren't confined to research institutions but are accessible to patients everywhere: “Too often, patients in community hospitals don't benefit from the latest advancements available at large academic medical centers. At Caris, we're working to close that gap.” Humanizing the Science The conversation underscored the human stakes of the work. Both leaders emphasized that the mission isn't just about data or discovery—it's about outcomes. Dr. Spetzler summed it up: “Science is only as valuable as the difference it makes in the real world. That's what drives us every day.” Scaling Innovation for the Future For Caris, growth means more than company expansion—it means scaling the reach of its technology so that physicians everywhere have the tools to personalize cancer care. This, Woolfenden pointed out, is a different kind of “race to the start line”: one where the finish line is measured in lives saved and futures extended. As the first episode in the series, the dialogue with Caris Life Sciences set a high standard for Race to the Start Line. It showcased how innovation, when combined with purpose, can shape industries—and in this case, save lives.
Redefining retirement with purpose and adventureJohn and Bev retired at 55, sold almost everything, and traded their dream home for two backpacks, golf clubs, and a life of full-time travel. Since then, they have visited 107 countries and all 50 states as “The Retirement Travelers.”Their journey began during COVID, when cancelled plans led to an Airstream trip across America's national parks. Living in 220 square feet showed them how little they truly needed—freeing them to downsize, travel, and focus on experiences over possessions.With Bev's MS diagnosis adding urgency, they embraced their “go-go years” while working closely with financial planners to ensure their plan supported their lifestyle. They now share stories, practical tips, and inspiration through their platform, proving meaningful travel does not require expensive, tourist-heavy destinations.Their message is simple: whatever your dream is, pursue it now.Learn more here: https://www.retirementtravelers.com_ Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

⬥GUEST⬥Andy Ellis, Legendary CISO [https://howtociso.com] | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/csoandy/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥In this episode of Redefining CyberSecurity, host Sean Martin speaks with Andy Ellis, former CSO at Akamai and current independent advisor, about the shifting expectations of security leadership in today's SaaS-powered, AI-enabled business environment.Andy highlights that many organizations—especially mid-sized startups—struggle not because they lack resources, but because they don't know how to contextualize what security means to their business goals. Often, security professionals aren't equipped to communicate with executives or boards in a way that builds shared understanding. That's where advisors like Andy step in: not to provide a playbook, but to help translate and align.One of the core ideas discussed is the reframing of security as an enabler rather than a gatekeeper. With businesses built almost entirely on SaaS platforms and outsourced operations, IT and security should no longer be siloed. Andy encourages security teams to “own the stack”—not just protect it—by integrating IT management, vendor oversight, and security into a single discipline.The conversation also explores how AI and automation empower employees at every level to “vibe code” their own solutions, shifting innovation away from centralized control. This democratization of tech raises new opportunities—and risks—that security teams must support, not resist. Success comes from guiding, not gatekeeping.Andy shares practical ways CISOs can build influence, including a deceptively simple yet powerful technique: ask every stakeholder what security practice they hate the most and what critical practice is missing. These questions uncover quick wins that earn political capital—critical fuel for driving long-term transformation.From his “First 91 Days” guide for CISOs to his book 1% Leadership, Andy offers not just theory but actionable frameworks for influencing culture, improving retention, and measuring success in ways that matter.Whether you're a CISO, a founder, or an aspiring security leader, this episode will challenge how you think about the role security plays in business—and what it means to lead from the middle.⬥SPONSORS⬥LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/attcybersecurity-3jdk3ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974⬥RESOURCES⬥Inspiring Post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/csoandy_how-to-ciso-the-first-91-days-ugcPost-7330619155353632768-BXQT/Book: “How to CISO: The First 91-Day Guide” by Andy Ellis — https://howtociso.com/library/first-91-days-guide/Book: “1% Leadership: Master the Small Daily Habits that Build Exceptional Teams” — https://www.amazon.com/1-Leadership-Daily-Habits-Exceptional/dp/B0BSV7T2KZ⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:
