Today's guest is someone whose story and message deeply touched me. As a volunteer clergy member at our local jail, I have the privilege of working one-on-one with inmates to help them discover hope, healing, and the belief that no matter what mistakes they've made, their past does not have to define their future.Recently, I attended a district conference with other volunteers and several former inmates who have completely turned their lives around. It was there that I had the privilege of hearing Tony Taylor speak and sing. His story was powerful, honest, heartbreaking, and inspiring—and I immediately thought, “More people need to hear Tony's story.”Tony shares his journey of growing up feeling like he didn't belong. Born to a Black father and Native American mother, he struggled deeply with identity, racism, bullying, and trauma from a very young age. His childhood was filled with instability, abuse, addiction, violence, abandonment, and unimaginable pain. He experienced sexual abuse as a child, exposure to drugs and domestic violence, and by his teenage years he was already battling alcoholism, drug addiction, and destructive coping mechanisms.In this episode, we talk openly about trauma, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), generational pain, and how unresolved wounds can shape behavior. Tony explains that while trauma does not excuse harmful actions, understanding the roots of pain can help us better understand ourselves and begin the healing process.Despite the chaos surrounding him, Tony graduated from high school, attended college, played football, and started a family. But the trauma he carried inside eventually caught up with him. In a tragic situation, Tony took another person's life and was sentenced to prison.What happened next is what makes Tony's story so remarkable.While in court, the victim's family challenged Tony to do something good with his life. Those words changed him. Instead of surrendering to hopelessness, Tony committed himself to growth, accountability, education, and personal transformation. During his 29 years in prison, he immersed himself in self-improvement programs, life skills classes, and college education. He eventually went from student to teacher, helping mentor and teach fellow inmates. He earned his bachelor's degree and is close to completing his master's degree.We also discuss the important distinction between guilt and shame, inspired by the work of Brené Brown. Guilt says, “I did something bad,” while shame says, “I am bad.” Shame leads to hopelessness, but healthy guilt can motivate change, growth, and accountability.Tony shares how difficult it is to pursue healing and self-improvement in prison, where negativity often dominates the environment. Yet he also shares how faith transformed his life. He credits God and the healing power of Jesus Christ with changing his heart, giving him hope, and teaching him humility, accountability, forgiveness, resilience, and love.Tony openly acknowledges the pain he caused and the years he spent in prison. But instead of wasting that time, he chose to become a better man. Today, he and his son are building a new future together through a fantasy sports business venture with the goal of creating positive impact and giving back to charitable causes like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.One of Tony's favorite scriptures is Ephesians 3:20:“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine according to His power at work within us.”In closing, I shared a story from former prison warden Clinton Duffy. When one critic told him, “Leopards don't change their spots,” Duffy replied:“I don't work with leopards. I work with men, and men change every day.”This episode is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond hope, healing, redemption, or transformation.In This EpisodeHow childhood trauma and ACEs impact behaviorThe connection between pain, addiction, and destructive choicesGenerational trauma and breaking unhealthy cyclesThe difference between guilt and shameFaith, accountability, and personal transformationFinding purpose and healing after devastating mistakesEducation, mentorship, and growth in prisonWhy people are capable of real change and redemptionBuilding a meaningful future after prisonListen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

Tonight, I'm joined by two remarkable young ladies who are proving that you are never too young to make a difference. Maelin Carlson and Landri Cruse, along with Maelin's mom, Megan Carlson, will share how a simple lemonade stand has grown into a mission of hope for the children and families served by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. What began with two best friends wanting to help has become a community effort that has raised more than $21,000 over the past three years. We'll talk about Maelin's journey as a St. Jude patient, the friendship that brought these girls together, the generosity of local businesses and neighbors, and why they spend all year dreaming up new ways to make an even bigger impact. Their 4th annual lemonade stand will take place on July 11th in Madison, and their story is a reminder that kindness, compassion, and determination can change lives, one cup at a time. Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™️

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Maelin Carlson and Landri Cruse, two Madison City School students who have turned a simple lemonade stand into something extraordinary. Together, they have now raised more than $21,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. What started with cups of lemonade has grown into a community effort that reaches far beyond their neighborhood. Along the way, Maelin and Landri have learned an important lesson: when people come together, they can accomplish far more than they ever imagined. Their message to other kids is simple. If you have a dream, go after it. Make it real! Their encouragement to adults is much the same. Keep pursuing the goals that matter and give them your best effort. These young ladies are proving that age doesn't determine impact and that even something as simple as a cup of lemonade can help change lives.

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Missy Acosta, Senior Vice President, Brand Experience with Delta Dental of Tennessee, who highlights Tennessee's largest dental benefits carrier and their differentiation as a not-for-profit 501(c)4 with a mission of "Ensuring Healthy Smiles" and a focus on philanthropy and community investment. Missy talks about Delta Dental of Tennessee's charitable arm, The Smile180 Foundation, which was founded in 2014 with three philanthropic pillars: to increase access to dental care for underserved communities, support children's hospitals, and fund oral health education across Tennessee and beyond. Missy shares a number of examples how their support of charitable dental clinics, including Church Health and Christ Community Health Services in Memphis and Neighborhood Health and Interfaith Dental in Nashville are increasing access to dental care for underserved communities. She discusses why oral health is a top priority for children's hospitals, including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, and explains why their support of oral health education covers everything from kids television programming to promote healthy habits to supporting colleges of dentistry in Tennessee to help equip the next generation of dentists and oral hygienists to be successful and to help address dental deserts across the state. Missy talks about how these efforts tie in with the Healthy Smiles Initiative, along with some of their other philanthropic efforts, including providing mouth guards to youth playing sports through various organizations and affiliations. Missy then highlights their fifth annual Kids Dental Day, scheduled for Friday, July 10 at First Horizon Park, home of the Nashville Sounds. More than 500 youth from various nonprofits in Middle Tennessee will be attending the fun, festival-like event where they will receive free dental screenings, cleanings, new socks and shoes through a partnership with Soles4Souls, new books through Book 'Em, snacks, and more. Over 100 volunteers will be coming out to support the kids and a number of organizations will be providing interactive games and experiences, like PBS Kids, American Red Cross, Adventure Science Center, American Heart Association, Schenk Photography, and the Colgate Bright Smiles Bright Futures Program. The dental organizations participating include Neighborhood Health, Meharry School of Dentistry, South College, LINKS INC., and Hope Smiles. Partners for the event include Nashville Sounds, cityCURRENT, Signature Transportation, United Way, Kroger, OneGen, Henry Schein, and Dunkin. Missy talks about why this annual event is so important in the community and how this can serve as inspiration for other companies to give back and get more involved in making a difference. Missy closes by inviting youth-serving organizations and volunteers who wish to serve to connect with KidsDentalDay.com to learn more and to plan ahead for next year.

Six years ago, I kept finding myself in wellness spaces that weren't built for me, and honestly, weren't built for us. Black women were absent from the center of a conversation that directly impacts our lives, our bodies, and our health. Be Well, Sis was my answer to that. A space built specifically for us, where our voices lead, our experiences are honored, and our wellness is never an afterthought.What followed was you, showing up week after week, listening and sharing and passing the show along to someone you love.

Are you a hopeful leader? Is your brand a hopeful brand? What does hopeful even mean anymore? And in a moment defined by uncertainty, anxiety, and rapid change, one emotion is emerging as a powerful force for brands and leaders alike: hope.Jim's guests this week as both return guests, as he sits down with Samantha Maltin, Chief Marketing and Brand Officer at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and George Carey, CEO and founder of Human-ology, for a deeply human conversation about why hope matters now more than ever. Together, they explore groundbreaking research on the emotional drivers of hope, why consumers are craving emotional safety and optimism, and how brands can authentically create deeper relevance by helping people feel more hopeful in their everyday lives. Samantha shares how St. Jude's mission is built around helping families “afford hope,” while George explains why hope is not “glittery,” but grounded in grit, resilience, and meaningful human connection.This episode could not be more timely. There is a war on hope and people are fighting it on every front. But don't despair: what follows will help you understand hope today, and what you can do to integrate this learning into your brand platform and into how you lead.—Learn more about Human-Ology's insights around Hope: https://www.human-ology.com/human-insightsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Backwater to Blockbuster,” the first de novo book published by the Cancer History Project, traces the evolution of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to its current status of a powerhouse of research in pediatric cancer.In a conversation moderated by Deborah Doroshow, the book's co-authors Charles J. Sherr and William E. Evans discuss how their book project began, their collaborative writing process.As long-time leaders, Sherr and Evans were a part of the institution's rise and thus speak authoritatively about the institutional culture, leadership philosophy, and scientific ambition that shaped St. Jude.Sherr, who joined St. Jude in 1983, served as chair of Tumor Cell Biology Department and Herrick Foundation Endowed Chair at St. Jude.

You've been more critical of your body lately. The timeline isn't helping. And somehow it feels like the progress we made around body acceptance just... evaporated. In this solo episode, Dr. Cassandre Dunbar names exactly what's happening and delivers the big-sister conversation she always wished she'd had, from body image and hormonal changes to mood, skin, and the relationships that literally extend your life.Drawing from personal experience, therapy, and women's health research, Dr. Cassandre gets honest about her own complicated history with her body and the lessons that took decades to learn, so you don't have to wait as long.In this episode:Why diet culture is surging again and what history tells us about why women are being pushed to get smallerWhy your body deserves reverence, not punishment, and how to start practicing thatThe truth about movement: why exercising as punishment is neither healthy nor sustainableCreative hobbies, flow states, and the parasympathetic nervous system connection your mental health needsWhy building a sisterhood isn't just a nice-to-have, it's linked to women's longer life expectancyThe 13-year-old and 83-year-old framework for making decisions you won't regretThis episode is for you if:You've been more critical of your body lately and can't quite pinpoint whyYou grew up exercising or restricting food as punishment and are still unlearning itYou want practical, science-backed ways to support your mood without overhauling your lifeYou're craving the kind of honest conversation an older sister would have with youConnect with Be Well, Sis:Instagram – @bewellsis_podcastSubstack – bewellsis.substack.comFollow, rate, and share this episode!We're supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Greg and Phil talk with Meg Zakrzewski, President of the Children’s Hospital of Illinois, about a recent change in affiliation involving St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and OSF HealthCare. She explains that the administrative partnership between OSF and the St. Jude Midwest affiliate is ending, meaning OSF will no longer be affiliated in the same way, but assures that pediatric care services themselves will continue and that the focus on children’s care is not changing. She also discusses why this transition is happening and what it means moving forward for families and the community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Black women enter perimenopause earlier, experience more severe symptoms, and are significantly less likely to receive adequate treatment. Dr. Cassandre breaks down the research, names what so many women have been living through without language, and gives you the tools to advocate for yourself in any medical setting.What we cover:Why perimenopause can start in your 30s — not just your 50sThe symptoms most commonly misdiagnosed as stress, anxiety, or depressionWhat the data says about Black women — earlier onset, more severe symptoms, and a significant treatment gapThe connection between chronic stress, structural racism, and accelerated reproductive agingFibroids, heavy bleeds, and the generational pattern nobody talks aboutWhat to say to your doctor and exactly which tests to ask for by nameWhy normal lab results do not rule out perimenopauseThis episode is for the woman who has been dismissed. For the woman whose mother and aunties suffered through things they never had a name for.

The U.K. band The Pretty Things created what is arguably, the first concept album with a storyline, "S.F. Sorrow". In other words, the first rock opera. They began the recordings in 1967, but the album was released a year by their label EMI. The Summer of Love was over, and the concept was too new for rock audiences to take in, and so the album sold poorly.

But they had broader musical ambitions and conceived a song cycle expounding on their faith in the Mormon Church, but in a accessible way for their young audience.

David Boice is a faith-based storyteller and traveler originally from Wausau, Wisconsin, and the creator of the YouTube series 52 Churches in 52 Weeks. What began as a personal search for a spiritual home became a nationwide journey through nearly 200 congregations, documenting not just what churches teach, but how they receive those walking in for the first time. His work offers a unique window into the lived experience of faith, community, and belonging across modern Christianity. Through these road stories, David has developed a thoughtful perspective on the subtle dynamics that shape religious communities—hospitality, fellowship, teaching, and the process by which a stranger becomes an insider. His content blends spiritual curiosity with candid reflection, inviting viewers to engage faith in a more personal and experiential way. In April 2024, David was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He recently relocated to Utah and is now developing 52 Temples in 52 Weeks, a companion project exploring temple worship, symbolism, and covenant faith. Alongside his content, he has used his platform to support causes such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. When he's not traveling or filming, David can usually be found writing, editing, or wrestling with deeper questions—like whether dad jokes qualify as a spiritual gift. Links YouTube @52churchesin52weeks YouTube @52temples Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights David discusses his unique journey of visiting various denominations before joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The conversation focuses on the impact of church culture, the power of a welcoming environment, and the lessons Latter-day Saint leaders can learn from the strengths and weaknesses of other faith traditions. 00:03:38 – David’s Background and Spiritual Journey 00:05:51 – Fallout with the Lutheran Church 00:07:45 – The Idea of Visiting 52 Churches 00:10:05 – Documenting the Church Visits 00:12:17 – The Need for Community and Church 00:13:41 – First Visit to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 00:18:25 – Insights on Church Culture and Leadership 00:21:02 – The Importance of Welcoming Visitors 00:22:04 – Generational Disconnect in Churches 00:25:24 – The Role of Missionaries in Church Culture 00:26:16 – Cleaning Assignments and Ownership 00:30:16 – Communion Practices Across Different Churches 00:32:23 – The Significance of Communion in Worship 00:36:19 – Differences in Communion Timing and Structure 00:40:03 – The Role of Communion in Community and Faith 00:45:09 – Unique Takeaways from Church Visits and Experiences Key Insights Welcoming Environment: David emphasizes the importance of a communal atmosphere in churches. He found that Latter-day Saint congregations were notably more welcoming, with members actively engaging with visitors, which contrasted sharply with his experiences in other churches. Communion Practices: The sacrament in Latter-day Saint services is conducted early in the meeting, which David found refreshing compared to other traditions where communion is often the main event. This practice fosters a sense of community and shared purpose. Involvement and Ownership: David appreciated the opportunities for active participation in the Latter-day Saint community, such as cleaning assignments, which gave him a sense of ownership and responsibility within the ward. Generational Engagement: He noted the generational dynamics in church attendance, observing that many mainline Protestant churches struggle to engage younger generations, while Latter-day Saint congregations maintain a strong sense of family and community. Cultural Differences: David highlighted the differences in how various churches approach worship, including the use of sensory elements in Catholic services versus the more straightforward approach in many Protestant services. Leadership Applications Foster a Welcoming Culture: Latter-day Saint leaders can prioritize creating a welcoming environment by encouraging members to actively greet and engage with newcomers, ensuring that visitors feel valued and included. Encourage Participation: Leaders should provide opportunities for members to take on responsibilities within the ward, fostering a sense of ownership and community involvement that can enhance engagement and commitment. Focus on Community Building: By emphasizing the importance of family and community in church activities, leaders can help bridge generational gaps and create a more inclusive atmosphere that resonates with all members.

In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D. welcomes fundraising veteran Rick Shadyac, JD, former longtime leader of ALSAC, the fundraising powerhouse behind St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Major donors love bold vision. But how do leaders decide which big ideas are brilliant… and which are just bonkers? Rick's advice is refreshingly practical: start with the problem you're trying to solve and the audience you're trying to reach. High-wealth strategy? Mass marketing? Different tools for different tribes. Big ideas aren't about flash, they're about fit, feasibility, and fearless execution. Rick shares the jaw-dropping case study of partnering with billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman on a space mission tied to a $100 million (eventually $125 million) challenge gift. The catch? ALSAC had to match it. The risk? Enormous. The reward? Potentially transformational. Instead of auctioning off a seat, they democratized giving, raffle tickets for a dollar, opening the door to entirely new donors, especially younger, space-loving supporters who'd never given to a children's hospital before. The result? A $250 million fundraising triumph, a successful mission featuring St. Jude patient ambassador Hayley Arceneaux, and global exposure, including a Netflix documentary. Not exactly your standard bake sale. But here's the leadership lesson behind the rocket fuel: courageous ideas require courageous cultures. Rick describes intentionally hiring people who would challenge him, not nod politely while doodling in meetings. Drawing from his background as a lawyer, he encouraged constructive disagreement, diverse perspectives, and even role-playing in interviews to test whether candidates would push back. Debate in the room? Absolutely. Lock arms when you leave? Non-negotiable. The formula: hire smart, mission-driven people who think differently than you do, and then actually listen to them. That diversity of thought, age, background, and expertise becomes the engine that powers bold, informed decisions. Finally, the episode lands squarely on the CEO-board dynamic. Boards are often risk-averse, but Rick urges leaders to be transparent, inclusive, and above all, communicative. Educate your board. Prepare them. Build trust before you need it. And when it's time to fundraise, confidence follows preparation. Donors can sense when an idea has been stress-tested and mission-aligned. As Rick reminds us, fundraising happens at the speed of trust, and the donor is the hero of every story. Big ideas may capture attention, but disciplined leadership, shared ownership, and relentless focus on mission are what ultimately turn bold vision into transformational gifts.

Are you sexually satisfied? (Be honest). If you even hesitated then this week's episode might be exactly what you need. We sat down with Dr. Joy Berkheimer, therapist, sexologist and author of Why Won't He Call? for a very candid conversation about sex, intimacy and pleasure. We dive into:What the "intimacy recession" means for ALL of us (not just Gen Z)Why your "compatibility" issues might not be about sex at allHow to actually ask for what you want in bed and do so without shameWhy Dr. Joy thinks no one should get married before they turn 30… Whether you're single, partnered or somewhere in between, there's something in this episode for you.

What happens when your best day collides with your worst? In this conversation, we sit down with poet and author Rachel Eliza Griffiths to discuss her memoir The Flower Bearers. Rachel shares the story of her wedding day, which became both the best and worst day of her life when she learned of her closest friend Aisha's sudden passing. Together we explore the physical and emotional toll of grief, the power of our chosen sisterhood, and what it looks like to survive multiple traumas within months. Rachel opens up about navigating anger, shame, and eventually healing, while honoring the love that sustains us through unimaginable loss. We talk about resilience and the courage it takes to choose joy even in the midst of profound grief.
