Send Bidemi a Text Message!Across Apple's wearables, GLP-1 drugs, academia's AI pivot, IP fights, new crime patterns, and the dating-app slump, there is one through-line: resilient trust. In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde maps how innovation and human values can move in step—arguing for stronger privacy rules (especially for biometrics), smarter AI oversight (think “FDA for algorithms”), real digital literacy, and business models that earn a social license to operate. It's a playbook for policymakers, tech leaders, academics, and the rest of us to design for well-being, not just engagement—so our tools save lives, our institutions keep credibility, and our relationships (online or offline) stay authentic.Support the show

Though he is one of Hollywood's most recognizable stars, McConaughey admits he's never felt the “ah, I did it” feeling, leading him on a search for deeper meaning through family, teaching, writing, and even advocacy, including speaking at the White House after the 2022 Uvalde school shooting.

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Albert Bramante—veteran talent agent, PhD in psychology, certified hypnotist, and NLP practitioner—to break down how the story you tell yourself shapes mental health and performance. From limiting beliefs and the inner critic to practical mindset tools like reframing, hypnosis, and NLP, Albert explains how identity shifts fuel results for actors, CEOs, and high achievers alike. You'll learn the difference between healthy challenge (eustress) and toxic stress, how to spot early warning signs, and how to build daily systems that drive sustainable success without burnout. Direct, actionable, and grounded—this conversation helps you rewrite your inner narrative so you can perform with authenticity and balance. About the guest  : Dr. Albert Bramante is a long-time talent agent with 20+ years in TV, film, and theater. He also holds a PhD in psychology, is a certified hypnotist, and an NLP practitioner. He helps actors and high-performing professionals dismantle self-sabotage, shift identity, and perform with confidence. Key takeaways: Your self-story drives outcomes: Internal narratives formed in childhood (criticism vs. celebration) shape beliefs, identity, and mental health. Identity shift > willpower: Recast yourself as a survivor, not a victim to unlock resilient behavior and better performance. Reframing works: Tools from hypnosis/NLP help reframe events, reduce the inner critic, and enable authentic delivery in high-stakes moments (e.g., auditions, boardrooms). Eustress vs. distress:Eustress (a focused, time-bound arousal) boosts performance; toxic stress lingers and disrupts sleep, breathing, and eating patterns. Spot stress early: Persistent hypervigilance, irregular sleep, and appetite shifts are cautions that coping systems need attention. Action builds confidence: Consistent, small steps with feedback loops (“fail forward”) develop durable competence and calm. Balance prevents burnout: Maintain outside interests and supportive routines to counter high-judgment environments. Mind–body is one system: Mental stress elevates cortisol, impacting the body; physical and mental practices (mindfulness, movement, breathwork) should work together. Translate strengths across domains: Map your existing professional gravitas to new performance contexts to accelerate wins. Make it practical: Label emotions, reframe limits, set growth-mindset systems, and review results weekly.

In this episode of the HX podcast, as part of our "Well at Work" series, I had the privilege of speaking with Justin Long, an author who shared his incredible story of resilience. I was so impacted by his journey, which he says truly began when he got sober at age 32 after years as a "raging alcoholic filled with self-loathing". Justin recounts growing up in an emotionally dysfunctional household, shaped by generational trauma, where he was made to feel he had no value. This led him to a life of searching for external validation through alcohol and other harmful behaviors. Justin's path to healing has been a lifelong journey involving AA, a pivotal mentor named Roland, and transformative trauma therapy. We talk about how he learned to develop self-awareness, challenge those negative beliefs instilled in him since childhood, and shift from self-loathing to self-love. He now applies these profound lessons to his leadership role at Spring Hill Equine Veterinary Clinic, where he focuses on knowing himself to lead himself, understanding his team as individuals, and creating a positive culture where people can grow. His message is a powerful reminder that if you don't feel good about who you are, you have the power to change that.

In this episode of the Former Participant Series, Joanna talks with Justin Levine, a 27-year-old who reflects on his journey from anxiety and perfectionism in high school to resilience, mentorship, and new purpose through treatment. Justin shares how wilderness therapy and his time at Telos reshaped his outlook, how running became both a therapeutic outlet and a career path, and how leaning into discomfort opened doors he never imagined—from studying neuroscience at Bates College to returning as Director of Fitness at Telos and pacing elite runners in Utah. His story is an honest reminder that growth takes time, mentors matter, and there are no shortcuts in healing—or in life. Listeners will walk away inspired to embrace discomfort, lean into support, and trust that new possibilities can emerge from even the hardest chapters.NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey.

Welcome to this week's episode of Fostering Change, hosted by Rob Scheer.

In a wide-ranging conversation, I sat down with Renée Gaddis, founder of Renée Gaddis Interiors, to explore Florida's distinct design influences, the evolving role of designers in storm-prone regions, and the business of luxury interiors in uncertain times. Speaking from Naples, Florida, Gaddis compared her region's design sensibilities to other parts of the state, noting a blend of Midwestern, European, and Southern traditions. While many of her clients lean toward transitional or traditional styles, she observed that Miami remains more open to modern aesthetics. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep LOME-AI.com, simple, inexpensive, text to video harnessing the power of AI to grow your firm, beautifully. The discussion turned to real estate trends fueled by the pandemic, which brought an influx of new homeowners to Florida. Gaddis shared how this surge, combined with a major hurricane, reshaped her approach to client selection and project scope. She emphasized her boutique model, strong referral base, and commitment to seamlessly integrating interiors with exteriors to embrace Florida's indoor-outdoor lifestyle. On the financial side, she addressed rising costs and tariffs that have altered project budgets, leading to value engineering and sourcing U.S.-made products. Gaddis also reflected on the importance of partnerships with trades and vendors, especially during supply chain volatility, while advocating for transparent communication to maintain trust. The conversation also touched on resilient building practices in storm-prone regions. Gaddis highlighted lessons learned from past hurricanes, from identifying flawed hurricane-rated windows to designing with better drainage, elevated platforms, and even safe rooms. Her insights underscored the need for long-term sustainability in luxury projects. Beyond design, Gaddis shared her family's advocacy journey with the American Heart Association, inspired by her daughter's early diagnosis and treatment. This personal commitment, alongside her professional expertise, reflects her philosophy that resilience—whether in design or life—is built through experience, adaptability, and care. And you are going to hear the whole story, right after this. Thank you, Renee. Amazing. Loved our chat and appreciate the time. Thank you for listening.

Are you pushing yourself toward high performance at the risk of burnout? In this episode, Melissa sits down with Jeff Salzenstein, a former top-100 tennis player turned high-performance coach.

That experience shaped the mindset and frameworks he now uses to help others navigate pressure, setbacks, and transformation.   Jeff shares how facing extreme challenges, personal setbacks, and the isolation of elite competition taught him lessons about resilience, focus, and alignment. Through his story, you'll discover how capacity under pressure, intentional practice, and deliberate coaching can turn struggles into sustainable growth.   Let's talk!

Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie talk about crowds, kids going missing for a minute, and the dread of what could happen when we're not there.

Have you ever thought about running an event in space? Yeah… me neither—until today.In this episode, I sit down with Brody Lee, an entrepreneur who turned a near-death experience into a mission to change the world through human connection.

What happens after you kill to survive?It was Mother's Day, 2013.Tennyson Jacobson was home with her newborn and her mom when a man slipped through an unlocked door. In seconds, her safe world vanished—he grabbed her by the ponytail, robbed her, and disappeared.The next night, he came back.There was a fight. A knife.And by the time it was over, the man who tried to destroy her family was dead on her floor.Most stories end here.

This week on Brown Ambition, Mandi sits down with Cheryl McKissick Daniel — President and CEO of McKissick & McKissick, the oldest Black- and women-owned design and construction firm in the U.S. With five generations of legacy behind her, Cheryl has literally changed skylines while paving the way for women and people of color in an industry that wasn’t built for us. In this inspiring conversation, Cheryl shares: The journey behind her new book, The Black Family Who Built America: The McKissicks, Two Centuries of Daring Pioneers. How her mother courageously took over the family business after tragedy struck. Lessons from navigating a male- and white-dominated industry while building relationships and leading with integrity. The power of resilience, prayer, and community when starting from scratch in New York. Personal stories of overcoming health scares and why legacy and family history matter more than ever. From stories of scrappy entrepreneurship in a Manhattan walk-up to multimillion-dollar projects like the Barclays Center and JFK Airport, Cheryl offers both blueprint and inspiration for anyone determined to build their own table—and their own legacy. Key Takeaways: Legacy isn’t inherited, it’s built—brick by brick, generation by generation. Relationships and integrity are as valuable as technical skills in business. Women have always been at the forefront of resilience and innovation, even when history tries to erase them. Creating your own family tree can be a powerful way to honor where you’ve come from and inspire the next generation.
